Storyettea.

Haevei W. Peck.

I olip from the Chicago Horseman, of th# 5th of Deo., the
following:

"The tireless interviewer will at times make the most care-
ful student and practical man say things that will not con-
nect, and which look to those on the inside as if something
were overlooked. This is very apparent in the interview
with J. C. Sibley, published in an Eastern contemporary,
where among other things the popular Pennsylvania breeder
compares the relative merits of George Wilkes and Election-
eer as follows:

"George Wilfcea and Electioneer are sons of Hambletonian, and
tbeir dama are both by Clay borsea. The dam of George Wilkes pro-
duced no other of note, but the dam of Electioneer, to the cover of
Messenger Duroc and MidtUetown, neither of which are considered
sires of the highest order, produced, besides Electioneer, seven with
recordB better than 2:30, and another with a record of 2:31, with a
strong probability that at least two others will enter the list. To me
It seems a reasonable deduction that Electioneer may be expected to
excel George Wilkes as a speed producer in about the same ratio as
the dam of the one excelled the dam of the other."

To those knowing the facts it is plain that they will not
admit of such an inference, for if individual blood lines are
of any valne George Wilkes was a better-bred horse than
Electioneer. And aside from that who knows bnt that Dolly
Spanker would have continued producing foals of as high
class as George Wilkes proved had she been spared. The
natural order of events, however, shows that she gave her
life to her first foal, and that foal proved the greatest son of
Hambletonian, both on the turf and in the stud. On the
other hand, Green Mountain Maid had sixteen foals, only
one of which was by Hambletonian. That seven of them
should have entered the 3:30 list is remarkable, and places
her in front of all other speed producers; bnt even with that
brilliant array she cannot be pronounced the superior of a
mare that produced but one oolt, which after a turf career
was retired to the stad and founded a greater family of suc-
cessful performers than can be credited to Electioneer or any
of his contemporaries.

George Wilkes has been dead seven years, and from nine
seasons in Kentucky his greatness emanates. Electioneer
has been twelve years in California, and while not in high
favor at Palo Alto during all that time he was always used in
the stud. The appearance of Fred Crocker brought him to
the front, and since that time his get have been on the move.
Time will eventually give him a longer list of performers
than Dolly Spanker's son, but more of them will be asked to
appear on the Eastern tracks and prove themselves better
raoe horses on the wear-and-tear order like Harry WilkeB,
Wilson, Ambassador, Baron Wilkes, Kentucky Wilkes and
J. B. Richardson before the admirers of successful campaign-
ers will admit that even in the first remove Electioneer can
excel George Wilkes as a sire."

This is in some respects rather a singular Editorial. I
am one of those who "know the facts" I think, and I am
compelled to say that I do not consider Geo. Wilkes a bet-
ter bred horse than Electioneer. In fact, I think I shall
prove beyond controversy that Electioneer is the better bred
of the two, performances and breeding of their immediate an-
cestors to be the test.

Neither do I consider Geo. Wilkes as great a sire as Elec-
tioneer! I mean by this statement his individual get, for
all of Electioneer sons are as yet comparatively yonng,
whether or no they will sire speed with the sons of Geo.
Wilkes as time goes on, is a proposition that I do not, at
this time, wish to enter into. It is sufficient to say that
there could be no reason given why they should not. I am
however, dealing with the immediate descendants of the two
horses.

First, however, let us enter into an investigation of the
breeding of these two great horses. (I will state parentheti-
cally, that I am as warm an admirer of Geo. WilkeB as can
be found upon any piece of sod that this earth turns to the
Bun! I shall deal only in facts and written history, which I
think shows the preponderance of evidence to favor Elec-
tioneer, and the Horseman's editorial to ba a mistake.)

Geo. Wilkes was sired by Rysdyks Hambletonian, his dam
being Dolly Spanker by Henry Clay, 8, his second dam
claimed to be by Baker's Highlander.

It is a well-known fact that the full breeding of this just.
Jy celebrated horBe was not known until many years after

his birth, and then after much tracing his second dam was
discovered to be by Baker's Highlander. This point is im-
material at best, for Highlander has never contributed any-
thing to the trotting turf, and so far as I am informed, his
blood does not appear in the pedigree of any performer of
note.

Electioneer was sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, his dam
being Green Mountain Maid by Harry Clay 45; 2nd dam
Shanghai Mary, breeding not known.

These two stallions then were sired by the same horse, thus
being equal in point of breeding on the sire's side. The dam
of Wilkes was by Henry Clay — the dam of Electioneer by
Harry Clay, a great grandson of Henry Clay.

From the standpoint of breeding and individual merit, Harry
Clay is certainly a superior horse to his great graDdsire;
just as Director is a better bred trotting horse than his grand-
sire; just as Guy Wilkes is a better bred irottinghorse than
his grandsire; jnst as Stamboul is a better trotting horse
than his grandsire.

Henry Clay was Bired by Andrew Jackson, a well-known
old time trotter. His dam was a mare called Surry, a Cana-
dian. To this mare Surry was attributed the fainthearted-
ness that for years kept the Clays in the background.

From Henry Clay came Cassius M. Clay, 18; dam Jersey
Kate, (dam of the trotter John Anderson.) Tie horse sired
George M. Patchen 2:23. He also sired Neavis Cassius M.
Clay Jr., Amos' Cassius M. Clay Jr., Strader's Cassius M.
Clay Jr., and Ballard's Cassius M. Clay Jr.

Neaves' Cassius M. Clay Jr. had for a mother a mare by
Chancellor, a son of Mambrino. He sired four trotters, a-
mong them Harry Clay, 45. This horse Harry Clay made a
record of 2:29, and was much the fastest of the Clays. His
dam was by Imp. Bellfonnder, the "Norfolk trotter," (sire
of the dam of Rysdyk's Hambletonian.) Imp. Bellfonnder
was bred in England and imported in July, 1822. He was
sired by Old Bellfounder, his dam being Velocity, by Hap-
hazard, a racing bred horse. This mare Velocity was
matched in the year 1806, to trot 16 miles on the Norwich
road in an hour, the conditions being that every time the
mare should make a break she should turn around. She
broke 15 times in the 16 miles, but still won. Bellfounder
himself when six years old is claimed to have been matched
for 200 guineas to trot nine miles in thirty minutes, which
he won easily by 22 seconds. His owner afterwards made a
challenge to trot Bellfounder 17& miles in an hour, hut it
was not accepted. Suffice it to say that the blood of Imp.
Bellfounder is much prized and I eonsider it assisted Rvb_
dyk's Hambletonian in rising to the summit of equine hon-
ors, in a very marked degree.

Harry Clay is one of the noted brood mare sires, having
Bired twelve mares that have produced twenty trotters. It is
a fact that Harry Clay was a faster horse than Henry Clay,
that his dam was a better mare, both in breeding and stami-
na than the Surry mare; Harry Clay's sire was a better bred
horse than Henry Clay. He was in the stud but a short
time, when he was destroyed in consequence of breaking his
leg. He sired the mare Cora that obtained a three-year-old
record of 2 :37£, and was afterwards lost in a tire. This re,
cord was made many years ago, when a three-year-old that
could go that fast was thought a wonder.

We have now reached the grandams of Electioneer and
Geo. Wilkes. The latter's grandam has never been claimed
to have been a mare of great superiority. It is alleged that
she lived— that's all. The grandam of Electiouner waB
Shanghai Mary, a very game mare. Writers of her day claim
for her a trial in 2:28. This mare when coupled with Sayre's
Harry Clay, produced Green Mountain Maid, a mare with
seven 2:30 or better trotters in the list, one in 2:31, one with
a one-half mile trial of 1:08. There are at least two others
that will get there in time.

Bat, says the Horseman, the dam of Wilkes died and
Green Mountain Maid was bred for many years.

True, but had Wilkes' dam lived and been bred the same
as the other mare, would she have produced the trotters the
Maid did? The fact that no other mare in the United States
has done so, (though many of them are better mares by long
odds than Wilkes' dam) is'presumtive evidence that she would
not!

Let me illustrate. Green Mountain Maid has produced
seven trotters, two have died that would have entered the
list, and more are knocking at the portal.

Has any other mare by Harry Clay approached this show-
ing?

No! Has any mare by any other stallion approached this
showing? No! When this mare then, can show such a list,
in addition to Electioneer, what sort of mare are we naturally
led to believe her dam must have been? A mare inferior to
the grandam of Geo. Wilkes? Well hardly! Figs do not
grow upon thistles, nor grapes upon hazel-brush!

If Shanghai Mary had not been a mare of very great excel-
lence and strong individuality, her daughter would not have
been the brood mare queen. Or is it a feasible proposition
to consider that it "simply happened!"

We will now take the'norses as Bires.

After as careful a computation as can be had without hav-
ing the exact facts at hand, it 'appears that Geo. Wilkes has
sired almcst twice as many foals as Electioneer. Wilkea
stood for years as a public stallion and had access to the best
blood of the country.

But very few men in California have bred to Electioneer,
and but few outsiders own horses by him. Every one will
understand that all of his produce being owned upon one
farm precludes giving all his colts as good a chance as they
would have were they universally owned throughout Califor-
nia, for various reasons.

Although such is the fact, Electioneer has sired fifty horses
that have beaten 2:30, two two-year-olds that made records
of 2:30.]', while Wilkes, from public service, sired a dozen
more from twice the number of colts. It must be remem-
bered that one-third of Eleotioneer's colts are less than two
years old, while the progeny of Wilkes are aged horses.
When all the youngsters by Electioneer are developed there
is no telling how far, numerically, he will surpass Wilkes.

Electioneer is a much greater sire of extreme speed than
WilkeB, To not go too much into detail, he has sired athree
year old with a faster record by three seconds than the fast-
est of Wilkes' offspring,

He has sired a horse with a record of 2.12J- from a thor-
oughbred mare. No other horBe has been able to impart
Buch speed under similar conditions.

He has sired ahorse with a record of 2:20 from a thorough-
bred mare. No other horse has been equal to the task.

One of his sons Bired a yearling that went a mile in 2:31$,
the beBt record for that age.

He haB sired nine two-year-olds that have trotted to roc-
records from 2:18 to 2:30$.

He has sired eight three-year-olds that have made records
from 2:10} to 2:27*.

As for campaigning, the very fact of nearly all his get being
owned by one farm would naturally militate against them as
againBt the get of a horse whose immediate get has been
owned for years in almost every State in the Union. Cali-
fornia is a comparatively young State — in years at least —
and has but an insignificant circuit to trot horses through
oompnred with the vast territory east of the Rocky Mount-
ains, where horses are campaigned from New York to Texas,
and for six months of the year.

Not every man can take trotters East, even were they very
excellent campaigners, but when some af the Electioneers
appear there in the fatore the Horseman may consider them
very fair campaigners. Whenever a stallion's pr<> I

speed enough to win in three straight heats there isn't mnch
opportnnity for the "wear and tear" kind to 8how their good
qualities.

Some sir years ago f ho Breeders' Gazette published a half
colama article on the greatness of George Wilkes. I excerpt
the following:

"The fastest of the family, Wilson, 2:16*t, is not by any
means the best, and it should not be forgotten that his rec-
ord wis -obtained in a race which he lost to Director at
Clovelirid last summer, and in which he had the help of all
the other starters iu the raes, barring the black stallion. In
appearance Wilson is a horse that strikes one favorably, hav-
ing plenty af siza, a well molded body, set oa leg* that are
not bad, and in these respects he has greatly the advantage
of most of the family, the chief fault with Wilkes as a sirt»
being the faot that his get coma in all sizes, and that none of
them were particularly hanisome or well proportioned.
Lamps, 2:21, a mere pony, is probably the fastes ttrotler of
his inches ever foaled. So-So, 2:17£, on the other hand, is a
most ungainly animal, with a head that is alonst a deformi-
ty. But in the great points of getting a nniform high rate of
speed at an early age, Wilkes is, perhaps, the best of modern
trotting sires, Eleotionser always excepted."

If this was the opinion of the Breeders' Gazette six years
ago, what would be its decision now?

k Vermont farmer and his wife on their first visit to the
Capital at Montpelier, paused before the statute of Ethan
Allen. They gazed long and thoughtfully, and then the si-
lence was broken by the husband: "Gosh, mother, I alius
thought Ethan Allen was a horse."

It would seem that Anteeo is pretty well thought of in the
East. Mr. L. E. Simmons of Wilkes Lodge, Lexington, Ky.,
bred the following mares to him last season: Hattie Wood-
ward, 2:15£, by Aberdeen; Eva 2:30£, by Geo. Wilkes; Anglia
by Geo. Wilkes, Lizzie Traoey by Geo. Wilkes; Louise Wilkes
by Geo. Wilkes; Bella by Geo. Wilkes; SaUie Jay by Jay
Bird; Beulah by Beverly Wilkes.

These mares are among the gilt-edged matrons ot the
country.

I nnderstand that the Litton's Springs property owned by
Mervyn Donahue is to be converted into a horse farm. For
the truthfulness of this rumor I will not vouch. In case it
proves true, it is to be hoped that Mr. Donahue will endeav-
or to raise horses of sufficiently good class that he can util-
ize a portion of them by hitching them to the cars between
this place and Point Tiburon. There would be numerous
advantages in the new system. First, the horses would make
less noise than an engine; second, they wouldn't have to
stop to "wood up"; third, and more important than all, they
would be faster.

Tile Science of Horse Breeding.

WRITTEN FOE THE BBEEDEB AND SPOBTSNAN,

Few men who have any knowledge of pedigree of race hor-
ses will deny that there is a considerable amount of scientific
skill required to bring together those strains or elements in
the blood of male and female in such a fashion that the chan-
ces are greatly in favoar of producing a first-class horse fro m
the combination.

The laws of Nature work so mysteriously that the student
of horse breeding continually finds himself "tripped up,"
and it is no exaggeration to say that the pages of the English
Stad book fairly teem with blighted hop9s and cruel disap-
pointments, indeed, out of the 3,000 or so colts and fillies
bred every year, the first-class ones may be counted on the
fingers of one hand, while the 3rd, 4th, and 5th to 50th raters
make up quite 90 per cent of the year's out-put. This is all
the more remarkable, because in England the breeding of
race horses is mostly the pastime of wealthy and intelligent
men who have every facility for studying the shapes pedi-
grees and running of sacceseful horses, to say nothing of
scores of men of leisure who make it a study of the subject
and are always willing to hand over the result of their inves-
tigations for experiment. Failures may be traced to many
caueeB, notably a want of skill in niching, as the hitting off of
etraios is generally designated amongst breeders, and in nick-
ing the student can only bs gnided by closely studying the
genealogy of celebrated horses, haviDg also due regard to the
shape, running, constitution, and temper of the animals.
And the term niokiDg must by no means be taken in the
general acceptation of the word as applied by breeders to the
blending (through sire and dam) in the offspring of such fas-
hionable strains as "Stock^ell," "Touchstone," "Melbourne,"
etc. The breeder may very often discover that he has two
much fashionable blood in his aire, and in such cases he will
find it advisable to look around for mares through whose
veins ran a preponderance of blood considered the reverse
of fashionable. The breeding of those two great raoe horses,
'•Navigator" and "Trident," is a singular confirmation of
this.

•'Bobinson Crusoe's" blood teems with fashion, having a
close double train of Touchstone aud one of Stockwell and
Melbourne. The majority of the mares in the Terrara stud
were bred on similar lines, therefore did not suit him. In
the imported mare "Cocoanut" he was fortunate enough to
get the extra nick he required. She had three or four strains
of Whalebone in combination with such discredited blood as
"Nutbourne," "Nabob," "The Nob," "Rattle," etc. To have
mated her with a horse equally bred away from fashion
would have been to court certain failure. Whereas in the
"Robinson Crusoe" nick was found the happy blend which
supplied to each those essential qualities which he or she
jacked. It will be apparent, therefore, to those who have

followed me so far that the very natural outcome of the
breeders' experience is the golden rule: "When the right
nick is found stick to it." The critic's answer to this will be
— How do you account for bo many cases of full brothers
and sisters being bo widely different in point of excellence?
As the answer to this would occupy far more space than you
could place at my disposal, I propose to touch slightly on
only one or two reasonable suggestions as to why we see such
brilliant and honest horses (overall distances) as "Cheater"
and ''Richmond," sacceeded by such indifferent animals from
the same matings. Iu the case of "Maribyrnong" — Fawn
cross — there can be no room for doubt that her 3rd foal,
"Bosworth," although a very fair animal, was muoh inferior
to his elder brother "Richmond," while "Palmyra," "Segen-
hoe," "Warwick," "Astute," "Superb," and "Genesta" and
"Montem" dwindled down from second class to no clasB at
all. "Chester's dam, "Lady Chester," may be said to have
been, after her first foal, an absolute failure to "Yattendon,"
as neither "Roodee," "St. George," "Silver Bell," "Mon-
mouth," "Grosvenor," or "Cleveden" ever showed anything
better than third to sixth rate form. These two caBes have
been selected because they are so well impressed on the
minds of racing and breeding meD, and because, in both in-
stances, the first foal waB a pronounced success, the succeed-
ing ones taperina off to absolute inferiority. These remark-
able failures of Nature to sustain her representation may be
traced to two likely causes, viz. — tirBt, the failure in health of
either sire or dam; or secondly, to the probability of impreg-
nation of dam with the aire strains through foal's circulatio?i
previous to birth. This latter suggestion may not find accep-
tance with men who have not studied physiology, yet it is a
well known fact amongBt scientific men and practical breed-
ers that the female iB certainly tainted with the blood of her
first mate as evidenced in the markings and peculiarities of
the succeeding offspring. Medical evidence is forthcoming of
numerous instances of the negro taint showing in the off-
spring of white men from women who have previously
borne children to negroes; and in Blaine's Rural Sports there
is a well-authenticated case of a blood mare having been put
to a Quagga. The result was an animal with all the mark-
ings of the Quagga, and scarcely any mane; and when the
dam was subsequently covered by a blood horse the progeny
showed almost the same resemblance to the Quagga as her
previous foal, and it took several crosses to eradicate the
taint. In the face of such strong evidence as this, may it
not be quite feasible to suppose that *'Lady Chester" became
considerabley impregnated with the blood of Yattendon,"
which filtered through her system from the yet unborn Ches-
ter.

If this is admitted, it becomes a comparatively easy mat-
ter to believe that each succeeding foal would be so saturated
with the infusions of Yattendon as to be rendered far too
inbred to race. Indeed, it is not stretching the comparison
too far to say that Lady Chester, at the time of her last
serving to Yattendon, stood as close in actual affinity to
him as though she were his own daughter. How close the
relationship might be; could only be determined by knowing
the actual amount of his nature absorbed at each foal bearing;
but Dame Nature so jealously guards her secret?, that the
truth will remain a mystery until some Huxley of the future
discovers a method of analysing the virgin blood, and after-
wards testing for alien matter. "There are more things,
Horatio," etc.

In support of the above theory, note the remarkable like-
ness often seen between man and wife, in old couples, where
the wife has borne a large family. These ideas have been
in my mind for some yea^s, though never expressed in print;
yet bo long ago as 187S, I had a glimmering of what the con-
sequences would be in Lady Chester's case, and wrote to
the late E. K. Cox, pressing him to send her to Hawthorn'
den for a change, as the flashy blood of that horse would
tone her system down with those strains she (as well as
"Yattendon") was very deficient in, viz., the brothers Cas-
trel and Selem. That a dash of this blood was very essential
to Yattendon may be noted by looking into the pedigree of
First Lady, the dam of his greatest son Grand Flaneur."
These strains have been always recognized by English writ-
ers (to wit, Nimrod) as soft and flashy; and following out my
reasoning it will be seen that, as First Lady was persistently
inbred to the two brothers (Castrel and Selem), she would
predominate in her fir3t two matings with Yattendon, and
throw sprinters, until her system was invigorated and
strengthened by the stont Yattendon impregnation, finally
culminating in that galloping machine, Grand Flaneur. Thus
we have similar causes working out opposite effects in two
separate cases. Melos, who ran at the last V. R. C. Meet-
ing in puch first-class form, is another remarkable illustration
of this interesting phase of breeding. His dam Melody (by
the Barb from Mermaid by Fisherman) was put for four suc-
cessive years to GoldBborough. One of the progeny, a chest-
nut colt The Broker, performed well as a two-year-old, and
indeed won the Adelaide Leger; but, in point "of racing ex-
cellence of good looks, he cannot be named in the same day
with Melos, his full brother born after Melody had in the
meantime thrown a colt and filly to The Drummer (import-
ed). And I ask any impartial man to say whether Melos, in
color and markings, is not more like that horse tban his own
sire Goldsborough. To my mind, the secret of his success
lies in the strains deposited in the dam's system through The
Drummer's stock, especially as Goldsborough's greatest suc-
cess have always been with mares carrying a strain of Stook-
well, so closelv related to The Drummer.

In placing the foregoing remarks on paper, I do not profess
to have made a discovery, because the physiological phase of
the question has long been known to scientific men and ob-
servant studmasters, and yet, perhaps, have never properly
realized its effects upon stock. I wish, therefore, to draw
the attention of the individual engaged in the business of
raising Btud stock, to the fact that "things are not always
what they seem;" or, to employ an illustration, it is quite
probable that the Blair-Athol mare which has been bought
expressly (and at a big figure) to nick with your Btud horse,
may, if previously covered by Kelpie for six or seven suc-
cessive seasons, have retained only a very small fraction of
that Blair-Athol force which you are seeking to utilise. And
to the disappointed studmaster (as to myBelf) it may explain
the cause of many a failure where all apparently necessary
elements of success had been carefully brought together.

I take pleasure in saying that when my horseB were sick
with what was called lung fever, last Spring, I gave Sim-
mons Liver Regulator (liquid) in one ounce doses, twice a
day. They all reoovered speedily. — E. T. Miciiener, Pro-
prietor Michener's Express. Jenkintown, Pa.

A valuable horse of mine was taken with colic, and, after
UBing nil means available, the thought struk me (as I had
no salt?) to use Simmons Liver Regulator. One bfllf-hour
after giving it he had an operation and was cured. I think
it valuable information to yourselves aud stock raisers. — W.

Noonday.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I was in tbe East last
fall with a view of buying a stallion to stand in place of Fal-
lis (2:23), which I sold to the Riverside Farm, Bridgeport,
Conn., but failing to find one that filled the requirements I
thought a stallion should have forthis coast, having' in view
more particularly an idea of getting one with a Belmont cross
on his sire's side and a Pilot Jr. orosa on his dam's side.
My attention was called to tbe high-bred young trotting stal-
lion Noonday, by Wedgewood (2:19), by Belmont, the sire of
Nutwood (2:18f), first dam Noontide (2:201), by Harold, the
sire of Maud S. (2;0S£), second dam Midnight,' the dam of
Jay Eye See (2:10), by Pilot Jr., third dam by Lexington, the
Biie of the dam of Ansel (2:20). I went to see him and found
him just the stallion I had been looking for, being almost a
fac-simile as regards size, color, form and gait of Goldleaf
(2:19) by NuRget (2:263), a son of Wedgewood (2:19) that I
saw trot last fall at Lexington one Gf the best contested races
I ever saw in a large field of horses, in which he won in 2:19*
2:19 and 2:19, but found Noonday was not for sale, so I have
procured a lease of him for the season of 1890, after which
he will return to Kenluoky. I wisu to call the particular at-
tention of horsemen to this royal bred young trotting stal-
lion, as his breeding is the cross we require on this ooast,
and it will be tbe only chance to breed to get this royal and
game blood that a first-class racehorse requires. Yours, .

The Canon.

The canon is of great importanoe, in fact is the key note to
the judging of the limbs of a horse, and too much attention
cinoot be paid to them when purohaaing. Henry Tweedley,
M. R. C. V. S. of Buffalo, had a very interesting description
of the canon in the Horse World, which we herewith copy,
giving a specially prepared plate showing good and bad
limbs, so that tbe reader can understand the Doctor's in-
structive essay without any trouble:

It now remains to describe the examination of the canon
as to soundness, concluding with a few remarks on the diseases
that most frequently affect this part. In proceeding to the
examination of a horse for soundness, the veterinary surgeon
derives the greatest advantage from employing a method;
that is to say, he follows a certain routine. It is only by
employing a method that the various affections can be
detected with the least ohance of error.

The method usually employed is to begin at the head, on
the near side; then the front of the fore limb is examined;
the position is then reversed, and the back of the limb con-
sidered; proceeding along the truDk, down tbe front of the
hind limb; then back of the limb, finishing at the hind foot.
In examiniug these parts the fingers are chiefly employed.
In all examinations of parts we must, first of all, be aware of
the anomalies that are usually to be fouDd there. To confine
our remarks to the canon, the method of procedure is as fol-
lows: The examiner stands near the shoulder, looking toward
the same direction as the horse; he then bends down and
passes hiB thumb and fingers down the front of the canon
bone, the thumb grasping one side and the two fore fingers
the other. In this way any unevenness in the canon bone,
even the slightest, oan be detected; what we are looking for
at this part is usually a splint; the slightest splint is easily
detected, and it may be added that any unevenness on this
part, of a bony nature, is termed a splint. Frequently, also,
we find the entire canon bone enlarged and thickened, this
being very frequent in young horses that have been worked
excessively; this is an affection of the nature of splint, and
consists of an inflammation of the cov-
ering of the bone {periosteum). In ex-
amining the front of the canon bone fc r
splint, particular attention should be
given to that part situated immediately
below the knee, as a splint at that situ-
ation may be very easily passed over.
Splints are more commonly found on
tbe inner surface of the bone. On the
front of tbe fetlock, and sometimes ex-
tending a considerable way up the
canon, we observe a considerable swel-
ling, soft and fluctuating in consis-
tency; this is of the nature of a wind,
gall, and consists of a distention of the
mucous sao situated underthe extensor
tendon of the foot as it passes over the
fetlock joint. The examiner then turns
and faces the opposite direction and
proceeds to examine the back of the
canon. Tbe previous anatomical de-
scription will show clearly the parts we
have now to examine; these are the
canon boDe, the suspensory ligament
and the back tendons. We invariably
proceed to a second examination of the
canon, as we can in this position exam-
ine more minu*ely the small canon
boues, the parts where splints are more ^ s,^^8rr6^£hl
usually found. We proceed exaotly in

the same manner as before, but here I have to refer to my
previous remarks on the button of the small canons which,
as I said, when excessively developed may easily be mistaken
for splints. Having examined the canon bones and found
everything correct, we next pass our fingers down the sus-
pensory ligament and observe that it is quite even, with no
trace of thiokeuiDg; also observe its tense, firm feel; consider
how it stands in relation to the canon bones and back ten
dons. LaBtly, we proceed to the examination of the back
tendons, and it is probably here that most uncertainty will
be felt. The back tendons, as I have previously mentioned,
should stand out clearly and distinctly, and be, at least
interiorly, at a certain distance from the suspensory ligament,
like this latter, in a sound state they should be perfectly
clear and distinctly perceived by their feeling of denseness
and rigidity to the touch; they should likewise be perfectly
even from immediately below the knee, till they pass over the
fetlock'joint. While it is the very simplest matter to detect
an extensive injury to the back tendons, it is not always easy
to the novice to distinguish slight affections of this apparatus.
A horse, for example, is placed before you for examination;
you find him, perhaps, standing a little Btraighter on the
limbs than you would like, and at the same time you find
the back tendons are not so distinctly perceived, but possibly
a little thickened or stocked. In this case, how are you to
decide whether there is a serious defect in the tendons, or
whether this connection is only transient, perhaps the result
of excessive labor? In proceeding to examine the condition
of the back tendons, the method we employ is as follows: As
mentioned previously, we run our fingers down the tendons,
and on observing any thickening present, we grasp the part
firmly between the thumb and forefine^rs and compress the
.tendons as tightly as possible. Wh*n there is the least rain
present, the animal at onoe shows it by elevating the limb(
find when the pain is excessive and the pressure be continued,

the animal rears off both fore limbs. In this manner we can
detect the very slightest pain in the tendons, and according
to the amount of pressure requisite to evince these symp-
toms, so great is tbe pain in the part. I may add that the
part requiring most attention is that situated immediately
below the knee, as a slight affection may there exist and not
be easily noticed on examination. Of course any excessive
pain in the tendons is accompanied by lameDess. But even
with the lameness present you may have some difficulty in
telling whether the cause resides in the tendons or not.

A word of warning may be necessary. It does not follow
that although the baek tendons are swelled and pain is mani-
fested on pressure, as above directed, that the back tendons
are necessarily diseased; and here I may remark that the
disease most affecting tbe back tendon is "sprain" or
"strain," and it maybe necessary to tell bow this maybe
distinguished, Tbe back tendons are sometimes swelled and
painful on pressure, whilst in reality they are not at all dis-
eased. This swelling may proceed from disease situated in
quite another pvrt. For instance, a horse may be pricked
with a nail; this causes a considerable inflammatory effusion
that may mount up along the back tendons and lead to tbe
belief that the tendons are affected, whilst this is not so; or
an animal may receive an injury to the region of the fetlock
with similar results- How, then, are we to distinguish a
sprain of the back tendons? In sprain of the tendons the
swelling is limited to a certain part of the tendon and is fre-
quently well circumscribed, the pain being only felt in the
region of the affection, whilst in swelling of the back tendons
symptomatic of disease residing in another part, the swelling
is diffused all along the tendon, this latter being painful to
pressure over all its extent. This simple distinction will, as
a rule, be sufficient to differentiate these affections. If I
might give a valuable hint to those who have followed me in
these remarks, I would impress on you that in every case of
lameness, no matter if you think you have discovered suffici-
ent to point to the seat of disease, have the shoe taken off at
once and the foot thoroughly examined. This is a rule that

even veterinary surgeons frequently neglect, and "a Jshort
story to show its importance may be of service. A horse
whilst at work near a house that was being erected, fell ovtr
Jnto some excavation that was proceeding. On being taken
out he was found to be so excessively lame that he could not
walk. The veterinary surgeon diagnosed an injury to the
shoulder; the animal was taken to his infirmary, the shoulder
fomented and afterwards a strong blister was applied to the
shoulder. At theend of six weeks he was found to be as bad
as ever, and on a more minute examination being made, a
splinter of wood was found which had penetrated the sole of
the foot and had remained there all the time. The splinter
abstracted, with subsequent attention, he recovered immedi"
ately.

As an adjunct to the above I have to say, do not believe
too readily when you are told that your horse is lame in tbe
shoulder; I care not who it rruy be that says it. This regioni
as I have elsewhere remarked, is the invariable resort of the
ignorant, and hundreds of horses have been tortured for dis-
ease of the shoulder when no disease was there present.
When teaching students, I have been in the habit of telliug
them not to believe in shoulder lameness. By this I do not
mean it to bo inferred that shoulder lameness does not exist;
but I do say that when it does exist there is usually no ditfi_
cnlty in detecting it. Frequently people point to an atrophy,
a wasting of the muscles of the shoulder, as evidence of dis-
ease existing at that part, but this is no proof that such is
the case, as lameness of any part of the limb, if existing for
any length of tim», is invariably accompanied by this wa-t ns;
of the muscles, due to diminished action of these mnsolep.

A still more common affeotion of the region of tbe cinon is
that commonly termed "windga'l." At the present day, I
need hardly eay, this designa'iin is entirely misleaiiog. wind-
gall being simply an exasperated collec'ioo of synovia id the
sheaths of the tendons, This is. jn' health tne pathology of

most of those soft, fluctuative swellings found on various
puts of the frame, rejoicing in the names of thoroughpins,
capped hook and elbow, etc. I will conclude the description
of the region of the caoon with a few remarks on the diseases
most commonly affeo'ing it. These, as I have said, are
splint, sprain and windgalls.

Splints are characterized externally by the relief whicli
they form tinder the skin. They are accompanied or not by
lameness, according to the date of their origin and. the sense
in which they are devt loped. At the beginning of their for-
mation they always ciuse manifest lameness, because then
the bones are the seat of a pretty intense inflammatory action.
But later this lameness may disappear, although the splint
may have acquired a pretty large development. The lame-
ness arising from a splint is usually ooly permanent ' when
the bony tumor is situated on the margin of the articulation-
between the knee and canon bone. I have already pointed
out the necessity of examining this part, more particularly for
splint, as owing to the natural prominence of the knee, that
formed by a spliut is liible to be overlooked. Another posi-
tion in which splint causes persistent and often obscure
lameness, is when it is situated within or on the inside of the
small splint bones, in which case, as will at once be observed
by those who have studied the previous anatomical sketch, it
produces pain by pressing on the suspensory ligament. In
both of these cases even a very small Bplint may produce an
intense and persistent lameness.

Splint is more commonly developed on young animals
owing to the fact that active growth is going on in the bones
at that period; Btill, old horses are not exempt from it.

The treatment for splint is to apply cold applications for a
few days, and afterwards blister with biniodide of mercury
ointment, 1 part of mercury to 6 or 8 of lard, or vaseline.
Should this not be successful, firing, by means of the pointed
irons, may be resorted to.

To detect whether a splint is the cause of lameness, by
pressing firmly with the fingers upon the part it will cause
pain; when first forming, the Bplint has not the hard, bony
feel it afterward possesses. The lame-
ness of splint is also characteristic. A
horse lame from a splint will be fouid
to walk tolerably sound, but when lie
is forced to trot he is found very lame,
In other words, the lameness observ-
able in the trot is out of proportion to
that noticed in the walk. Frequently
also the horse points— a pretty good
index that the lameness is situated
under the knee.

I have already sufficiently indicated
the means of detecting a sprain of the
back tendons. The lameness from a
newly produced sprain is very evident,
but after* the acute inflammation is
passed, the lameness greatly lessens.
With regard to the treatment of sprains,
I have only to add — do not allow ig-
norant blacksmiths and farriers to
apply their nostrums, rubbing the part
with hot vinegar and such like, hut at
once have it attended to by the veteri-
narian, and this is the more urgent the
longer the injury has existed. The
reason of the above advice is this— if
the horse be allowed to go for any con-
siderable time suffering from a sprain,
he will invariably end by becoming
knuckled over at the fetlock, and when
this takes place to any extent, the horse is almost useless.
The cause of this is easily explained; owing to the pain of
tbe tendons, the horse raises his heel and frequently stands
on bis toe, this continuing for some time; changes take place
in the relations of the tendons, changes which become per.
manent and are equivalent to a shortening of the tendons,
although this, contrary to what is frequently taught, does
not, and, indeed, cannot actually take place.

Changes at the same time take place in the hoof, the heels
not being used as before, grow much faster and deeper, thus
they tend to contract, and the w ole bearing in the foot being
greatly altered changes take place in the hoof, which are like-
wise irremediable. These are the reasons why a sprain
should be at once attended to, and those changes frequently
do not require very long to be produced. If the owner wishes
to undertake the treatment himself, let him apply cooling
lotion for two days, such as Grulard's extract, and apply k
Canthai-ides blister, one part of UantharidcB to six of lard and
vaseline. This blister may be repeated in a fortnight— .-ix
week's rest will be necessary to complete tbe euro In very
heavy draught horses suffering from sprain the application of
the a"tual cantery, together with a blister, is followed by tbe
happiest resnlts. Innumerable means have been tried for the
despersion of thoBe swellings, termed windgall, counler-irritp-
tion in some form or other, forming the basis of them all.
Knowning that such is the case, the application of the binio-
dide or the oleate of mercury should form the best of prepar-
ations, and this I hav little hesitation in sa.v they do. Tbe
biniodide of mercury can be made as a^ove directed for Bpliot
the oleate may bo purchased in the oleate of mercury cum
morphia 10 per cent. \ small quantity of these may be ap-
plied ds'ly until a sourf is formed; intermit fora few days un-
til tbe parts regain their usual appsarance applying lard or
oil in th* interim, tb°n apply the treatment as before; this
may be oant'nued a- lone as the flwelling exists. One of the
best mea s of treating some of these synovial enlargements
is to withdraw the excess of fluid by means of an aspirator,
and afterwards apply the ointments as above directed. This
however requires a competent vetinary surgeon as the opera-
tion requiiep knowledge which can only be applied by Bach.

bably run a horse or two with the famous Aske spots next
season. Among his effeots taken to Ireland were the gold
cups and racing trophies, including those won by Voltiguer
and Vedette.

The English Royal Commission after considering all the
evidence offered with regard to hereditary diseases or mal-
formations has decided that any of the following are suffi-
cient for disqualification, roaring, whistling, ringbone, un-
sound feet, navicular disease, spavin and cataract. Curbs,
as will be noted are not included in the list.

It is probable that the bookmakers who do business at the
winter tracks, and especially those who have held stands at
Elizabeth, will be forced to combine at an early date and
fight a common enemy. They have sustained some heavy
losses of late by the payment of forged or bogus tickets. The
common enemy they are called upon to battle with is a gang
who have evidently joined handB for the purpose of swin-
dling the pencillers.

D. A . Honig recently selected out Jakie Toms as about the
worst plug he had in his stable, and desiring to compliment
his friend and fellow trainer renamed him James McCor-
mick. Not to be outdone in these little delicate attentions, J,
H. MoCormiok, in selling General Boulanger recently, stipu-
lated as a clause of the sale that he shoul I be renamed Dan
Honig, and threw off $25 of the purchase money for the ful-
fillment of the agreement.

The list of winning jockeys iu Austria-Hnngaria is headed
by Busby who was once attached to the Ashgill stable, and
the rider of Thorn in some of his races. Rawlinson Btands
second, W. Smith third and H. Huxtable fourth, thoHe im-
mediately following the horsemen mentioned being C. Junes,
G. Bell and W. Wyatt. E. Rossiter was successful on twelve
occasions, and A. Lemaire, Goodway and C. Bowman scored
nine, five and four wins respectively.

Would it not be a seasonable time for the variouB racing or-
ganizations, Los Angeles, Fresno, San Jose, Blood Horse,
Saoramento and others to come to some arrangement by which
the same starter could be employed and paid for the whole of
next Beason. .TbiB would give Jhe official^ a chaqoe tp.effeot
good starts and obtain control of the boys aud at the same
time have" some knowledge of the'borses. " As matters stand
now anyone is starter pro-tempore, a state of thiugs which
exists nowhere but in California.

Senator Hearst and E. J. Baldwin head the list of entries

A new quadruple telegraph board was used for the firBt
time at Kempton Park a few months ago. It indicates the
placed hordes on foursiies, and worked so well that it is
likely to become generally adopted on the English race-
courses.

The winter edition of Ruffi Guide shows that the yearling
sales in England last year had a greater average, greater to-
tal, more stallions bred, and more yearlings sold than in any
of the past five years. 662 yearlings by 189 Bires averaged
300 guineas.

The Langtry Farms' mare Miss Josephine, by Strnan, dam
Maid of Harris by Flageolet, granddam by Adventurer, slip-
ped a colt foal by Friar Tuck (Imp). With the double New-
minster also and treble Touchstone cross, the colt should
have proved invaluable.

The Hon. T. J. Megibben has purchased imported MoccaBin
by Macaroni, dam Madam Straus by King Tom, and will n6e
him in the stud. Moccasin oovered a few mares at Rancocas
prior to going to Canada and gotseveral winners, ameng them
being Amazon and Disdain.

Wilber Smith, who was in town last Monday, says Thapsin
is improving but is not yet well enough to be removed. By
the way, Wilber has charge of Al Farrow, who was attached
by the Sheriff for a debt of $1600 owed by the new owner,
W. H. E. Smith, to the Sonoma Bank.

Chinn & Morgan have leased from Charles H. Magnire of
New York the services of the stallion Fond du Lac, by Glen-
garry— Hop (dam of Kirkman), and will use him in their
stud near Harrodsburg, Ky. Fond du Lac waB a horse of
great speed, and should prove a very successful sire.

The Governor has appointed F. M. Loeber of St. Helena
and L. W. Buck of Vacaville members of the District Board
of Agriculture for District No. 25, vice themselves, terms ex-
pired: also, R. McKay of Placerville a Director of District
Agricultural Society No. 8, vice A. T. Leachman, term ex-
pired.

Robt. Peok, the well known ex-trainer, has since giving up
training, raced a good deal. His last venture was leasing
Howbury Hall and the surrounding land on a long lease, and
fitting up the most complete breeding establishment in Eng-
land. It is situated near Bedford and will have room for
sixty mares, yearlings, etc.

One of the most successful sales ever held was the Dwyer
sale. 21 head sold for $43,950. Among them were: Kenwood
(2). $6,150; Fordham (4). $5,900; Oregon (3). $4,000; Meri-
den (3), $3 500; Printer (2), $3,250; Folsom (2), $3,100; Tav-
iston (3), $3,000. George Walbaum bought Oregon, Kenwood
and Folsom, while S. Emery secured Fordham.

One of the best planned and well executed coups of the
winter season was Peter Weber's Christmas handicap with
Vendetta at Gnttenberg. The four year old had been quietly
worked alsng at Jerome Park and when he got in at 87 lbs.
Peter and the Fordhamites thought it about time to cnt Ioobo,
and though he went to the post at 30-1 every book was said
to be a loser.

L. D. Parker, Secretary of the National Breeders' Asso-
I oiation, is said to be very much against what are called "lin-
eup" records, and thinks the Board will decide to allow only
I horses that have trotted in 2:30 in an actual race to enter
the standard list.

Ex-Governor Bowie, President of the Maryland Jockey
Club, in a letter issued to the members of one of our old-
eDt racing associations, states that there will be no more rac-
ing under their management at Pimlico. The reason given -
is that they could not afford money to draw large fields with
so much racing going on all through the winter. Baltimore
is not to be without a meeting though, for the Maryland
Agricultural and Mechanical Association have decided to
hold a spring meeting and have trotting iu the fall.

An incident showing the power of memory in a horse is
told of the great trotting stallion Almont. His disposition
was of the most kindly nature, and he would permit »nv one
to stroke his glossy hide and play with him. One day his
groom struck him severely and was discharted for so doing.
Almont showed no change, but more than two years after,
when the groom returned, he suddenly became vicious and
would not let the groom come near him. He evidently re-
membered the groom and the blow of two years before.

It has been calculated that the American turf gives employ-
ment to 50,000 people and indirectly asssists 50,000 more to a
livelihood. The thoroughbred stallions and brood mares on
the great stock farms are valued at $6,000,000 and ihe sons
and daughters of thesa stal ions and brood mares earned
above $2,000,000 more during the past BeaBon, the value of
the stock now employed for racing being valned at $7,000,000
while the the capital invested in race tracks and stables is
$6,000,000. The stock farms embrace 140,000 acres of the
finest land in the country, and last year the yearlings sold
footed up to $1,000,000, .while the the attendance at race
courses numbered over 3,500,000.

The Sporting Chronicle says: A great point of difference
between English and Australian 6portBmen is that the latter
peldom, if ever, shoe their horses; and Mr. White's colts,
Kirkham and Narellan, who are now at Newmarket, will run
next season without shoes. Australian breeders aim at size,
combining speed with strength. R membering this, thev in«
variably choose a limestone foundation for their pasture Und.
They are also believers in strong bracing air, and as a conse-
quence the large racing establishments, Mardialloe [and W 1-
liamstown, are close to the sex. Bjth are bright chestnuts,
well grown, and possessed of all the qualities of racehorses.
Narellan stands about 15£ hands, while Kirkham, who is
a more lightly-boned horse than Narellan, is fully half a hand
taller. He was foaled on January 24, 1S87, and is expected
to turn out the best of the two.

Some interesting news about the "wintering" of the lead-
ing English jockeys is given by a London contemporary. Ev-
idently they are sliding into society, for John Wa ts has been
invited to have a week or two in Cheshire with Lord Dudley,
who is hunting from the neighborhood of T^rporley (his tea-
son. Fred Birrett will put in his off time with The Baron in
the Vale of Aylesbury, with an oecdsioual day with Mr.
Lowndes; whilst George Barrett, when he is not with the
Fitzwilliam or the Oakley on their best 6ide, will hunt with
ihe Pytchley and Quorn, and probably for a week or two in
Yorkshire. Sam and Tom Loates, who share the same quar-
ters in the Exeter-road, are hardly so aspiring in their tastes,
and although they may have a day on the grass occasionally,
they, like Warne and Rickaby, will do the principal part of
their bunting with the Newmarket and Thurlow, a two-day
a week pack that deserve supporting, and that so far this
season have been showing excellent sport.

William Archer, the father of Fred Archer, the iamouB
jockey, and Charlie Archer, the well known trainer, died on
December 5tb. William Archer was, in his younger days, a
good rider himself. One of his first engagementB was to Al-
derman Copeland for one year, renunieration for the year £6
and a suit of livery. In 1843, he went to Russia to ride for
the Czar at a salary of £100 Der annum and all expenses paid.
He stayed two seasons and as the climate did not suit, re-
turned. BetweeD 1849 bnd 185S. he was in grand form acroBB
sticks and country, winning the Grand National iu 1858. on
Little Charlie, His death removes one of the old-time horse-
men contemporary with Tom Oliver, Jack Mytton and oth-
ers, while when he was born SainChifney, Buckle, Robinson
and others were in full swing., his reminiscences of them
being particularly interesting.

The New York Spirit of the times, in its cirffully arranged
and exceptionally interesting Chris'nias number has among
other readableand instructive articles.one entitled "Some For-
eign Horse Dealers." The London, Provincial French aud
German dealers are mentioned, but where is the Irishman?
Certainly he is entitled to a place for his blarney, while as a
hoise trader he is about the deadest of the whole profession.
At home bia colts are all out of mares that were Uppers sure,
while one cannot get a horse that has not Irish Birdcatcber
blood in him — if you behove Paddy. And when he gets to a
fair — well, if you beat him, why, you will have earned it. All

Yorkshire men have heard the tale of Paddy S , who

went to Howden fair with twenty head, and one long pedi-
gree written out. A well known hunting and steeplechasing
farmer bought (Paddy said he gave him them) a five aud a
six year old, own brothers, after two day's dickering, and
put th* pedigree in bis pocket. "Huuld on a bit," said Pad-
dy, ''How am I to sell the other eighteen if you take the bit
of piper widyez?"

"There is," says "Borderer," in Baily's Magazioe. "one
thing which now staie^ all breeders in the face, more cUarlv,
perhaps, than it ever has done before, and this is that the
value of a good sire is, in these days, something marvellons.

It is suicide to allow the foreigners to buy and carry off a
well-bred and sound horse before he has had a fairly eood
trial in his own country, where his value most certaiulv is
double what it is iu any other country^ in the world. "We
have suffered in years gone by from this haste to sell— Buc-
caneer andTheFl>ing Dutchman to wit; and whether we have
done wisely in parting with Ormonde, roarer though he be,
has yet to be proved. Personally, I think the Dukeof West-
minister was right, for there will always be the possibility
that the tendency may be reproduced in Ormonde's stook.
Notwithstanding this, I unhesitatingly say that there are
fewer roarers among our fashionable sires of to-day than I
have ever known before. This is a hraltby sign. Let us
stick to it." Borderer might have mentioned Gleueoe, Leam-
ington, Bonnie Scotland, Prince Charlie, Glenelg aud several
other sta'liobB who 'have left their mark here, while
Fisherman.Traducer and Musket in Australia have left undy-
ing traoes of their merit, two of Traducers sons, Sir Modred
and Cheviot, being now in ihis country.

Matt Allen, Senator Hearst's trainer, has a lot of the most
promising yearlings— now two— in America on the Sheep*-
head Bay Track. He is particalarly imposed with Warpafh
by Warwick or Ban Fox out of Second Hand and FireworU
a slashing sister to Dewdrop.

Several yearlings were worked over the Kentucky Associa-
tion Track last week. The best performance by far was by a
brown colt imported in utero, by The Rake out of Flora Mc-
Donald, who worked three-eighths with his shoes on and

burn.

Mr. John A. Morris, after a careful examination of Texas,
has bought a ranch for a stud farm in Gillespie Co., U0 miles

tralians imported by Mr. Newton and later sold in New York.
Another of the imported Australians, Gertrude by Somnus—
Geraldine was sold to Senator Hearst on her arrival and has
won a race at San Luis Obispo this fa'l.

Garrison's exalted opinion of himself is well knowo.
Among many tales of the flattering comments on himself, the
last is probably the best. After Raceland— Garrison up— de-
feated Firenzi — with Hay ward in the saddle — a mile and a
furlong, at Jerome, Mr. BelmontaBked: "Did you win easily ?"
"Well, I had some to spare, but to tell you the truth, Mr.
Belmont, if I had been on the mare I should have teaten
your horse." One of our best posted California horsemen
says old Bill has forgotten more than Garrison ever knew.

Senator Hearst will have a large enough stable at San Sim-
eon to take out on the Western circait. W. L. DonathaD
who went down to the ranch last Monday, will have about
twenty 'o work on including the imported horses, True Bri-
ton, Somnus— Geraldine filly, Somnus— Maid of the Hill
colt, and Baggage. Almont, a sister to Joe Courtney, Evalita,
and others as well as half a dozen promising two year olds.
The stable will probably take in the Blood Horsa prior to go-
ing East.

The Rosslyn Heights Farm, Pennsylvania, have bought In
England the eight-year-old stallion Bonnie Charlie by Pe-
trarch, dam Bonnie Leith by Rataplan, grandam Bonnie Bell
{dam of Beauclerc) by Voltigeur, graudam Qaeen Mary. His
breeding is something extraordinary; his sire, who was oneof
the handsomest horses in England, has a double Touchstone
cross and is the sire of a host of clinkers, while Rataplan,
besides being a successful sire is an own brother to Stock-
well, and no one should inqnire any farther than Queen
Mary.

There is said to be a large band of wild horses, led by a
thoroughbred known to the stockmen as the "Outlaw Stud,"
ranging between Truckee, Nevada county, and Peavine, Nev.
Years ago thestalliou.afiDe thoroughbred escaped to the moun-
tains, and has ;ioce defied capture. By desperate riding stock
men manage to get into the band every yeir and drive out the
colts. The horses range on the highest peaks, beyond where
cattle and sheep often go. Tbey only go to water once a day,
and then in single rile down the mountain trail as fast as they
can gallop. They go back at their leisure, feeding by the
way.

The number of horses, remarks a British contemporary,
that suffer trom the disease of "roaring" Beems unhappily to
be on the increase. Certainly it is so among thoroughbreds;
but it is painfully common at the first check, after a sharp
burst with bounds, to hear the sound, and if one gets into a
procession of carriages on the way to a race meeting, or else-
where, the chance of the poor brute m the carriage behind
roariog badly is very great. Statements as to an intra-laryn-
geal operation, which was said to be a perfect and permanent
cure for roaring, were, therefore, received with much inter-
est; but unhappily these statements are not borne out by an
investigation of facts. The op ration has been tried on sev-
eral animals, and in each case without the least satisfactory
result.

Jockey Stoval appears to have been demoralized by the ex-
ample of the backsliding Brotherhood ball players and is like-
ly to become a bone of contention between two owners of
raoing stables. Early last month he is alleged to have sieoed
regular contract to ride for the Clover Stable in 1890. Now
report has it that be has made another oontraot to ride next
reason for bis old employer A. G. McCampbell. The report
may be nnfounded, but if it u true Stoval is likely to find
himself in hot water before the racing season opens, as jock-
ey clubs have a straightforward fashion of enforcing agree-
ments and are dead set against contract jumpers" Stoval
made a fair record last year, and is a very capable jockey,
very popular with western race-goers.

Mr. Jas. Galway has decided to sell Belvidere. The brother
to Sir Dixon, by Bidet out of Jaconet, who is a sister to Iro-
quois, should prove a success in the stud, for there is a Billet
(Voltigeur), Leamington, Australian, Boston and Glencoe
oross one on top of the other.

What is the use of p ying large prices for stallions and
breeding horses for the sole purpose of staying a distance
when there is so little opportunity for them to show their
quality?" says Glen Cairn in the N. Y. 8. In the case of
short distances, such as half a mile or rive or six furlongs,
any common-bred stallion is liable to be the sire of a colt or
filly that would prove a world-beater at these distances, but
when asked to go a distance would be beaten off by 'selling
platers.' " This is what Bonie people say, and we agree with
theni if they mean to aver that there is no use breeding four-
mile horses simp'y because there are no four-mile raceB; but,
for goodness sake, is it not going a little too far to say that
any commou-bred horse is liable to sire a great winner of
races at the present distances? Over 90 per cent, of the win-
ning horses on tbe tnrf during the past season— theBe very
no account sprinters, as they are called— are direct descen-
dants of Boston and Lexington, long distance ohampions of
the most approved strains of staying blood. This only leaves
about S or 10 per cent, for the common-bred fellows, and
research tells us that even they for the most part are from
high-bred imported stock. Does not this prove conclusively
that the old four-mile blood is just as necessary for tbe race-
horse to-day as ever it was in the past? The horse that can
run a mile in 1:40 or three-quarters of a mile in 1:11 needs
something more substantial than the blood of a olebian Bire,
They tell us that it is the pace that kills. If" such i6 the
case, and we have always held that it is, does it not seem
remarkable that these degenerate sprinters are cutting down,
year after year, records at distances where pace, and keeping
it up, is everything. So far, at least, the common-bred sire
or dam have not figured prominently ?

In a long article in the Fortnightly Review William Day
the tamons English racehorse trainer, who is also well known
to American race goers as the trainer of Foxhall, has the fol-
lowing to say about the increasing value of thoroughbreds:

At Middle Park, about 1867, or soon after, yearlings
fetched extraordinary prices, as much as 1,060 guineas and
2,400 guineas were given, and out of a lot one year the aver-
age price was 500 guineas, or 20 000 for the 40. Such prices
no one thought would be exceeded, or even ever reached
again. But price! have still gone up, and broodmares have
increased in value as much as the yearlings, and, in fact,
every sort of racehorse has augmented in value in like pro-
portion, till now over 3,000 guineas are given for a brood
mare and over 4,000 guineas for a yearling. Stallions have
fetched 16,000 guineas, 20,000 guineas have been offered and
refused for a horse in training, and 5,000 guineas was a sum
not sufficiently attractive to secure a yearling that was of-
fered for sale at private contract this year. But these facts
and figures, gigantio and surprising as they are, dwindle in-
to utter insignificance when compared with the value of
Hermit. This wonderful and lucky horse stands alone as a
racehorse and stallion, for Hermit has wonin stakes and bets
for hiB owner, Mr. Chaplin, somewhere about £150,000, and
has siDce earned at the stud at least as much more, and may
still farther augment this almost incredible sum. Again,
Donovan up to the present time, has won in stakes morn
than anv horse ever did, and may, and most likely will add
many more thousands to his record. He has already se-
cured £39,963, and many yet even surpass the mighty deeds
of Hermit at the stud, as he has triumphed over his perform-
ances on the racecourse. Ayrshire, another lucky borse,
has won for the same ducal owner nearly as much as Dono-
van himself, having secured in stakes alone over £36,000
up to the present date, and may, like him, yet increase largely
this magnificent sum before his racing career is terminated,
and afterwards be at the stud as great a success as either of
the two extraordinary horses just mentioned. These few
cases, to which many other horses may be added, will show
us tbe present valne of our racehorse, and how greatly it
exceeds the worth of those of any other age or country.

William of Wykehaui iB credited with the statement that
"Manners-mabetn the man." So-called jockeys here are too
ready made. A boy, after exercising for six mouths, feels
injured if be is not put up in a race, and ver}- soon suffers
from the big head. In England, where boys have to undergo
a regular apprenticeship, a jockey knows his position better,
and as an instano the N. Y . Sporting World says, speaking of
the late Fred Archer: "Archer without doubt had amassed
a considerable fortune by his riding, and at the time of his
death was probably a tivetimesricher man than most of those
for whom he constantly rode. Should any owuer, no matter
who, ask him to ride his horse, Archer would raise his hat in
reply and answer civily (without venturing to ask any such
impertinent question as to whether the borse had any chance
or not) 'Thank you, sir, I'm engaged for that race;' or,
'Thank yon, sir, with pleasure.' Here was no idea of con-
ferring a favor; the boot was on the other leg, and this man,
too, a prince in his profession. The difference which appar-
ently existed between him and many of our own jockeys was
that as he rose and got rich at his calling like many self-
made men in business, his manners rose to the occasion.
Another difference, too, in his case was that his mind was
set wholly on his duties and not on betting. He recognized
the fact that owners and trainers had been mainly instru-
mental in assistinghim to the position he held, and had good
sense enough always to bear it in mind." And in speaking
of the modern American jockey the same journal says: —

At the present day it would seem as if the majority of
jockeys, by reason of their successtB in the saddle, and the
money thus brought to them, considered themselves fully
the equals, if not of a truth the superiors, of those who em-
ploy tbem. They become victims of that fell disease, which
too frequently follows in the wake of success — the big head.
Take the instance of an owner or trainer (who has no specially
retained jockey) asking one of these professionals to ride for
him. Does the boy consider it a compliment? Not much.
Rather he will think he is confering a favor, aud before ac-
cepting will want loknow: ''Has the horse a chance? How
has he been working? Does the owner intend to back him,
etc!? A list of impertinent qnestions, which hy rights should
not affict him in the slightest. They do affect him, and for
this reason jockeys are not contented nowadays unless tbey
can bet, and bet, too, in big money. It is a pity that it should
be so, and that they should learn to think far more of their
betting than they do of their duties, but some jockeys at the
head of tbe profession have set the bad example, and the les-
ser lights must needs follow it. As a consequence, matters
bave come to such a pass that for an owner to apk a i> I
to ride, unless it is a horse prominent in the betting, i
mount to asking the jockey to do him a favor. Big
rampant, and it seems difficult to know how to cl
disease or make jockeyB understand theirposition,

A Reminiscence.

A parly of racing spirits were sitting talking horse in one
of San Franoisoo's fashionable hotels a few evenings ago
when a tall, powerful, athletic-looking man walked by.
Every eye was turned on him and the question was asked:

"Who is be?"

"Why, that's Mr. C , from Chioagu."

"Boys, pass that decanter and I'll tell yon something about
that handsome man that would have turDed any one's else
hairgray." , _. _ , .. ,

The speaker filled his glass, held Hop to the light as if try-
ing the past through the sparkling fluid, swallowed the con-
tents, nnd began:

••It was the 10th of July, 1SS6. Place: Washington Park,
Chicago. I was sitting in the grand stand. I had had a
good day, so I was going to have a good dinner, and let the
other two races alone,

"The bell rang for the fifth race. I was making myself
comfortable, when I saw the gentlemen that just passed come
into the stand and take a seat by the side of a beautiful
woman. Strange, I thought to myself, I had not noticed her
before. You all know my fuiling; I- like to look at 'em— from
a distance. She looked fit to run for a man's life Beautiful
chestnut hair, brought smoothly back from a broad, intelli-
gent forehead, and snugly tucked under a dark velvet Prin-
cess cap. Her forearms "of snowy whiteness could be plainly
seen through a pretty summer dress. Her barrel a little too
small to be a good feeder; but her foot, neatly enoased in
raoiug plates, looked to belong to a pastern of beautifully
modeled spring steel. Her foot was beating the devil 's tattoo
on the floor from evident nervousness when the gentleman
came up. She looked the question she could not ask:

" 'What did you play?'

"He waB very pale — but a forced calmness — that one could
see he was highly excited.

"Hie answer was 'Hopedale.

"It was a mile beat race with eight starters, though from
the betting there were only three in it; and so it proved.
Hopedale. Irish Pat and Bootblack; Stoval, Murphy and
West up, in the order named. The first words that I heard
the lady apeak, were: "My God, if Stoval will only ride to
win!"

•They cot the flag well bunched, aud made a pretty race
in the stretch. Stoval brought bis mount to the front and
wen easy enough, but he did not see Murphy go to his whip.
Pat was coming like a hurricane, and if Murphy had sat still
he would have been second; but when he hit him Pat bolted
to the inside, West getting second, Biddy Bowling third and
Pat fourth. Time, 1:43.

"I looked at my neighbors. The gentleman's face was
flushed with hope; but his fair companion was as pale as
death.

" 'What's the matter, darling?' he whispered.

"She turned a pair of heavenly brown eyes to him, and
answered: 'Irish Pat, or rather Murphy, will win the nest
heat.'

«« 'Why do you think so?" he asked.

" "You know that Hopedale doe3 not like a distance, and
that Irish Pat has as much speed when he'll run. Stoval did
not see Murphy use his whip, and if Murphy ever gets near
enough to collar Hopedale he'll win, for Murphy will not use
hfs whip, for he knows Pat won't stand it. Stoval will not
use bis because Murphy won't."

"Then I fear we are lost, for I have plated every cent that
I could get hold of on Hopedale, and if Pat wins a heat I'm
afraid he'll win the race.

"With a sigh of intense anguish on his handsome face be
folded his arms across his magnificent chest.

It was then that I saw the most beautiful expression I ever
saw on a woman's face. It was worth living a life for. With
a quick move of her hand towards her breast sue handed a
bill to her (I was certain now he was) husband, aud quietly
asked him if he would try and put it on Irish Pat for the
beat. Eopedale was a top-heavy favorite, so he soon re-
turned and told her be got $500 to $100. I had become in-
tensely interested in the pair before me and watclied the race
with unusual interest.

"Hopedale and Biddy Bowling was the order at the quar-
ter. Pat bad worked up to Hopedale at the half, and led into
the stretch by a neck. Then commenced one of the most
terrible finishes I have ev6r seen Murphy gave Pat a shake,
but Stoval was after him and was boon alongside. They
rode as I have never seen men ride before or since. Ac the
eighth pole the entire stand rose to their feet. Yon could
hear a pin drop in thatimmense structure. Some fellow spat
on the floor and it sounded like a clap of thunder. On, on
they came, as if riding for their lives. The others were out
of it. Neither would take his whip, but rode it out with
hands and legs. It was as the fair stranger had feared.
Stoval would not use his whip, because Murphy didn't.
There was the stillness of death all over the grounds. No
one knew who had won, when Irish Pat's number was hung
up. Then commenced one of the wildest scenes it was ever
my fortune to witness. Could the noble red man or the cow-
boys of the great and golden West bave heard those yells,
they would have died a dea(h of agonized envy. My blood
seemed on fire. The yelling was contagious. I roEe from
my Beat and gave a yell as only a man who is half frantic with
sympathy for a beautiful woman can give. As I started with
a mad ruBh for the paddock, I gave one hasty glance at my
fair stranger. I caugbt her eye and then I was mad. Never
had I seen such soul-thrilliDg orbs in the head of a human
being. That look burned into my brain and set it on fire.
There was the one word written as in letters of gold in those
glorious orbB— hope. Down three Bteps at a time I flew until
I reiiched the paddock. I saw Irish Pat first, and could
plainly see he was terribly distressed. Then Hopedale was
closely scanned, and. while his sides were bleeding. I could
see he was the freshest of the two. I started for the boys'
dressing room, and found both men being as vigorously
rubbed down as were the two horses. Both were fearfully
tired. Great drops of perspiration were rolling off them
Murphy was the strongest, as bis condition was far superior
to Stoval's. Little Eddie We>t was guying Stoval, and the
first words that greeted my ears were:

" 'If you waits for Isaao to go to the bat, nigger, you'll
git left. Why, Stokes, Pat'lt bolt if you go to the bat.
Isaae'll fool you, ha. ha!'

"It was evident that 'Stokes' was out to win. So, to re-
lieve my own charged feelings. I I ought all the auctions on
old Hopedale I could get. Pat was a Rood favorite. When
I got back to my seat my strangers were an I bad left them—
the lady hopeful, the gentleman seemed lesigned to his fate
for be was now certain Murphy could win. I took my seat,
leaned over the shoulder of the big man aud said;
" 'Hopedale'a a cinch.*

"What his answer was I have never beard. Again those

.jreat hrown eyes looked thanks at me. and 1 forgot the world

«adall its troubles until aye'lfiom the spectators brought

my feusesand my feet at tb« same time. The two

were coming into the stretch, and 1 did not know

they had gone to the post. But now I saw what the howl
meant. As they swung into the homestretch Stoval drew
his whip, and with a couple of raps old Hopedale ran away
from Pat, and as Isaac began to ride Pat, his tail went heav-
enward, and those who knew him knew he was done for,
and was coming gamely on when a wail caught the air. He
was seeu to falter at the sixteenth pole. Murphy saw it aud
redoubled his efforts to oateh him. But Stoval was not to be
outdone so close to home. He had too much of a lead. He
got home five lengths ia front of Pat, but it was well he bad
not another quarter to go. Hopedale was bleeding at the
nose, having burst a blood vessel. He ran tbe race iu the
slow time of 1:45. The track was like greased lightning.

"Though there was another race to be run, my handsome
strangers got up as though they were leaving, and as they
walked down from the stand and straight for the train, I have
never laid eyes on either of them until to-night.

"Tbe eyes of that beautiful woman have haunted me from
that day. I have searched the world over for a pair like them
and should I ever meet a woman to be won with eyes like
those of my dream my name will be 'McGinty' if I don't win
her."

With a nightcap of California's generous vintage we bade
each good night and went to dream of a pair of eyes like those
our friend wishes to possess. Doc.

Tbe cases on the docket were then considered and the following de-
cisions rendered:

order under Rule 2, Section 2, as to the eligibility of tbe ch m Mocking
Bird in the 2:3u race August 21, 18S9.

Tbe plaintiffs protected tbe cb m Mocking Bird in the 2:20 class as
not having been named in accordance with Rule 2, Section 2, her
name not appearing on the list of published entries. The evideuce
of Mr. Herrington, the manager of tbe driving park, is to the effect
that while at Buffalo, Mr. Hamlin read off his entries to him, and he
copied them in writing ou tbe regular entry blank, but failed to fill
in tbe class for Mocking Bird, in consequence of which the acting
860161317 failed to place her name on the list.

It is held that the nominaior cannot beheld responsible for the
mistakes or neglect of tbe secretary, and therefore tbe applicatiou is
dismissed.

1862. — L. R. Griffis, Andover, Ohio, ex-parte. Application for relief
of the b s Ben Clifford, formerly Nicodenius, from payment oi record-
ing fee.

The applicant started hia h^rse in a three-year-old race as Nicode-
mus, after which he applied to the editor of the trotting register to
have him registered under that name, which was refused, the name
having alrt ady been chosen. He was then registered under the name
of Ben Clifford, and afterwards entered under tt*e same name with the
member at Orwell. Ohio, as formerly Nicodemns, and claim for record-
ing fee seut from the office of tbe National Trotting Association.

While the Board is fuily aware of tbe apparent hardship involved,
yet Rule 6, Section i, is absolute in its character, aud any other inter-
pretation would open tbe door to frauds without number. It is.
therefore, decided that the recording fee must be paid before compet-
ing on members' grounds.

1831 — W. R. Brasneldfc Co. (owners), W. R. Brasfield, (driver) Lex-
ington. Ky., ex parte Application for permanent relief of them-
selves and tbe b ni Linuie from expulsion imposed by order of tbe
Bourbon Trotting Club. Pnris, Ky., July I, 1889, under Rule 17

who granted temporary re-iustatemeut under By-Law Article, an(* it
is now uponrecornnic-udatiou of tbe member, made permanent.

1885.- Budd Doble, Chicago, Ills , vs. Driving Club of New York
Morrisania, N. Y. Applicatiou for release of himself and the b g Ed
Xnnan ipacer) and the ch iu Amy Lee from suspension imposed Oct.
3, 1889.

The application is granted upon tho ground that the BUupenBlons
were not imposed with in the time limited, as per Rule 3, Sec. 8.

1894.— Daniel De Noyelles, New York, N. Y , vs. Charter Oak Diivinjr
Park, Hartford, Conn. Application for an order.

It appear* the plaintiff bad a subscription iu the ?10,000 Stake race;
that be paid up the subBcrlptiou and named tbe b s Nelson by ar-
raugement with tbe owner. The horse won second money, which
was ?.',."> 0. The owner. Mr. Nelson, was pitdSl 500 by the association,
auit lliey also paid De Nnyel es SI,' 00. The plaintiff tad previously
notified the association in writing, through its Secretary, protesting
against tne payment of any part of the purse which the horse might
win, except upon his wiitten order.

It is cliiru*a by the Association that the plaintiff aud Mr. Nelson
were virtually partners and therefore tbe payment to either one or a
part to each was valid

On the other band it is cUimed by De NoyeUes toil, as he made all
the piymeuts, ieti:"ert to transfer tbe EtubtortpUon and aimed too
hnc*e, the association had no ri^ht lo pay any money to my r»oe but
himself. H« also claims it Is usual iu such cafes to divide t- e net
proals and that he enould, therefore, receive ?:5n. out of tbe amount
paid to >el5on. After an exhaustive bearing and examination it is

Ordered, That tbe Charter Oak Driving Park Association pay the
plaintiff 6760; that C. H. NelBon refund that amount to the Charter
Oak Driving Park, and tbe Treasurer of the National Trotting Asso-
ciation is ordered to reserve said amount from any money In his
hands belonging to Mr. Nelson and pay the same to Charter Oak Driv -
lug Park in satisfaction of this judgment.

18%.— James Linden, Sacraraeno, Cal , ox-pArte- Application for
permanent relief from expulsion imposed by order of tbe Capital Turf
Club. Sacramento, Cal., July 30. 1889. unJer authority of Rule 46-

The applicant was temporarily re-instated by the President Septem-
ber 4, 1889, upon recommendation of tbe Judges who expelled blm
upon a suitable apology being made to them, and the re-instatement
is now made permanent.

1915.— Hamilton Busbey, New York, N. Y., vs. O. W. Williams, Inde-
pendence, Iowa, aud br s Allerton. Application for an order as to the
•-HgibiJity of said horse in the 2:27 stake lace at Chicago, 111., August
23,1889.

The plaintiff protested tbe b s Allertou as not being eligible in the
2:27 Subscription Stake race of tbe Northwestern Association of Trot-
ting and Pacing Horse Breeders, alleging that Lady Mack was named
and appeared on the printed entry Met, and that Allerton had no right
to start in her place unless Mr- Williams or the Secretary could show
a letter bearing post-mark ou or before the day set for naming the
horses. It is claimed by Williams that be bought the subscription
from Wilson k Stanley and sent a letter in time, naming Allerton. but
misdirected it lo Janesvllle, Iowa, instead of sending it to Janesvllle,
WIb,, the residence of the Secretary . He sends presB copy of letter,
naming the horse, which is dated the 5th day of August, tbe date set
for naming, and also a certificate from the cashier of a bank that he
bought on that day a draft for $L0 payable to tho Secretary, aa last
payment on the subscription.

There is a discrepancy in the evideuce as to the original misdirected
letter. Mr. Williams states thai after it was returned to him from
JanesvilH, Iowa, be immediately forwarded ii to Secratary MrKinney
at Janesvllle, Wis. Tbe latter says he received the letter, but not tbe
origiual misdirected envelope, which Mr. Williams had inadvertently
destroyed. The original letter of entry with the envelope is tbe best
evidence of the validity of tbe nomination, and these not having been
furnished, the protest is sustained, as the defendant failed to produce
legal evidence to sustain his entry.

1936. -The National Trotting Association vs. C. H. Nelson, Water-
viile. Me., and b s Nelson; F. L. Noble, George G. Hobens. Grand
Rapids, Mich , and gr s Alcryon. Application for an order in the
matter of alleged fraud in the -?1i,0i 0 Stallion Stake race, trotted at
B"acon Park. Boston. Mass , on September 23, 1889.

After consideration, this case was continued at the request of the
respondents, and they were ordered to be notified to appear at a
special meeting of the Board, to be held at Buffalo, N, Y.,on Tuesday,
February 11, 1890. at 2 p. m.

No other business appearing, tho Board adjourned.

A Sensatiorjal Lot.

The Kentucky Stock Farm has the following in reference
to the horses taken East by Col. R. S. Strader: —

We bad tbe pleasure a day or two since of lookiDg over the
great consignment of Electioneer stock just received by Col.
R S. Strader from Palo Alto. Unless we greatly over-esti-
mate its value it is destined to exercise a very potent influ-
ence upon the breeding of trottiDg horses in Kentucky. Col.
Strader has long been] identified with the breeding interest,
and his receDt venture proves that he h&B lost none of the
enterprise for which he hap always leen remarkable.

The oldest horse in the lot is Clay. 2:25, by Electioneer;
dam Maid of Clay (dam of Carrie C, four-vear-old record 2:24,
Clay, 2:25A, Capt. Smith, 2:29, and Clay, 2:25), by Henry
Clay, sire of the dam of George Wilkes; second dam by Dey's
Messenger; third dam by Bald-face Consul. Dey's Messen-
ger, by Liberty (son uf imp Messenger); dam by imp Mea
senger. Baid-face Consul by Bond's Coosul; dam by Cor-
iander (son of imp Messenger). Clay wao foaled in 1879. He
is a black horse, tan flanks and muzzle, 15 hands high, bred
at Palo Alto", He has a Hambletonian top cross through
Electioneer, and is inbred to Henry Clay through two mareB
whose 2:30 performers aggregate 11. He is himself a fast
trotter and his sire and dam are great speed producers. Clay
has very much the conformation and appearance of George
Wilkes with higher finish. He is a horse with very remark-
able bone, his legs being broad and flaf, gaskins ana forearms
very strongly muscled, canon bones and pasterns short, sti-
fles remarkably fall, loins exceedingly strong, bodv very large
for its height, Bhoulders sloping, back short, neck of good
length, head finely finished. He is a very strongly-built
horse, and his muscular development is something wonder-
ful.

There are two fillies by Clay in the consignment, one a
brown filly, dim Lady Ellen 2;28 (dam of Ella, four-year-old
record 2:20), by Carr's Mambrino 1789, son of Mambrino
Patchen; eecond d«n Ida May Jr., by Owen Dale, son of
California Belmont; third dam Ida May by Belmont. The
other a bay filly dam Sallie Hamlet, by Hamlet; second dum
Sal (dam cf Coaster, 2:26]), by Canada Chief. This is a pair
of very elegant weanlings, having fine size and quality and
would be a credit to any sire.

Conrad 5381 is another of the horses in tbis consignment.
He is a full brother to Anteeo, 2:16], and Autevolo 2;19J, by
Electioneer; first dam Columbine, by A. W.Richmond 1687,
sire of Romero, 2;19A. Corjrad was foaled in 1886 and is 15^
hands high. He is a horse of elegant appearance and great
substanoe. The fact that both Anteeo and Antevolo have
shown such remarkable speed affords a strong presumption
that the other members of the family will also be fast. Con-
rid is as yet unbroken to harness. He will make a model
stock horse,

Another horse that will attract attention is Wellington, full
brother to tbe great California filly Sunol, 2:10$. Wellington
is a bay horse, five years old, and stands 15 hands 2 inches
high. His pedigree is well known, and if it were not, the
fact that he is a brother to Sunol would be pedigree enough.
He 1b au excellent individual.

Warlock is a bay colt, foaled in 1885 by Whips son of Elec-
tioneer; 1st dam Nellie Walker (dam of Peruvian Bitters
(pacer) 2:23£) by Thorndale, or a son of Alexander's Edwiu
Forrest; 2ua dam Rosalind, 2:21J by Alexander's AbdaHah;
3rd damBurch mare (dp"" of Rosalind 2:21}, and Donald 2:27)
by Parker's Brown Pilo This fellow has a great deal of the
thorougbbn d fiaish c _abined with plenty of boue and mus-
cle. He is 15 hands 3j inches high. His pedigree is very
rich in blood and speed lines.

Ellison is a black colt foaled in 1SS6 by Electioneer; dam
Lidy Ellen 2:2S by Carr's Mambrino; 2nd dam Ida Mav Jr.,
by Owen Dale, son of California Belmont, etc. He is 15
bands 2A incles hisjb, and in every respect an exoellent indi-
vidual While in California Col Strader saw a yearling sif-
ter to Ellison trot a quarter in 36 seconds. Ellison has not
yet been handltd f >r speed.

Del Mar, 2:30 (brotbtr lo Commotion, 2:30), is a bay colt,
foaled in 18S7, BJr*rl by Electioneer; dim Sou tag Dixie (dam
of Commotion, 2:30. nnd Sonnet, 2:244), by Toronto SoOtag;
sec and dam Dixie by Billy Towne.s third dam by Sir
C barbs.

Monica is a bay colt, dam half sisler to Bonila, 2:18.1,
fja'el in 1SS7, sired by Ansel, son of Electioneer; dam Mec-
ca bv Mobawk Chief (sire of Lot SI cum, 2;17j); second dam
Mny FW, 2:30] (dam of Bonila, 2:18$), by St. Clair.

Col. Strader will ke?p Clay and Couiad in the stud. Their
service fep, we understand, will be $150 eacb. We have no
dnul-t their books will till rapidly, as the breeding and in-
dividuality of the hordes cannot but attract pobl.c attention,
It will require no urging to induce the horsemen of this vi-
cinity and visitors to the city lo go to Col. Strader'e place
and examine tbi- grand, lot of California stock.

will be seen in that light by the public before long.

Dr. C. W. Aby manager of the Guenoc Stock Farm, has
been in town during the week, and has secured a number of
mares to be bred to St. Savior and imp. Greenback.

It is now in order for the new Directors of the Pacific
Coast Blood Horse Association to meet and select a date for
the openingof their spring meeting as there are several other
associations who desire to make their announcements but
wish to wait and see what fixture the older organization
will take.

Primrose, one of the brood mares at the Woodburn farm is
now carrying her twentieth foal and yet the oldest of her
family is but twenty. With a Bingle exception they are all
alive.

Wilbur F. Smith reports Thapsin 2:21J as being considera-
bly belter than last reported. The horse is still at the Bay
District track and will not be taken to Sacramento for some
time.

Two stories. Scoit Quinten has left the employ of Marcus
Daly. Scott Qninton has not left the employ of Marcus Daly.
Both reports are rnmored in horse circles, so you can believe
which you pltaBe.

Mioa West, who has been at Village Farm, near Buffalo, N.
Y., for some time past, has accepted a position as trainer for
George Robinson of Los Angelep, and will leave for the
Pacific Coast the first of the year.

A. lar^e influx of the Eas • n Bookmakers may be expected
in San Francisco almost any day. Some of tbem will remain
over until the Spring meeting of the Blood Horse Associa-
tion to have a go at the "Dear Public."

I am pleased to announce that the Valensin Stock Farm
will have the services of Ed Bither as trainer and driver for
tbe coming year. Mr. Bither telegraphed yesterday morning
that he accepted the offer of Mr. Val nsin.

Mr. E. Topham has at bis Milpitas place a niee string of
trotters that will be heard from next season on the California
circuit. A good trainer and driver will be engaged, and the
Topham colors will be carried to victory many a time.

J. L. McCord has a singlefooter that is the admiration of
the residents of the capital City. Mr. McCord will bring the
animal to San Francisco next week and surprise some of the
Park equestrians who imagine their horses cannot be excell-
ed.

Mr. K. Murphy of ^nta RoBa was in the city last Thurs-
day, and he sayB he feels confident that S. A. Brown & Co.
of Kalamazoo will havs to pay him $200 this year, for he
has two Anteeo youngsters that will go into the list withont
fail.

Seoretary Crickmore of the Monmouth Park Association
says that the work on Monmouth's new track iB progressing
to'the satisfaction of all, and that race goers will be delighted
with the grounds that will be thrown open to them on Inde-
pendence Day of next year.

Edwin C 2:15 by Elector 2:21i is the fastest green pacer
that appeared in 1839. He will now have to contend in the
free for all class, but as he has got over hiB bad habit of
breaking, Mr. Johnson feels confident that 2:15 will be cut
i>\vn considerably next season.

C. V. Sass. for many years editor of tbe N. Y. Sporting
World, but now Secre'ary of the Clifton Association, has
earned the thanks of all race goers by inaugurating longer
races thaD are now usual. One such contest is enjoyed as
much as half a dozen five furlong dashes.

When the Sunny Slope horses are sent East for sale 3. C.
Holly will also send some good ones, and the Valensin Stock
Farm will be represented by some choice Sidney youngsters.
The eyes of the trotting world are now turned toward Cali-
fornia and the three large consignments should bring top
prices,

Adonis has been turned out to give him a needed rest prior
to entering on an extensive campaign next season. When the
Sidney gelding strikes the free for all class back East next
summer, thua will be weeping wailiag and gnashing of teeth
among the buckerB of Gossip, Jewett, etc., on more occasions
than one.

Unele Jim Guest, of Danville, Ky., has purchased from S.
H. Banghman, of Stanford. Ky., a yearling by Concregan,
dam Olena (dam of Saotaline) for $1,200. For the season of
1890, J. W. Guest Jr., will train bis father's horses. There
are many who wish that there may be another Terra Cotta in
the stable.

P. A. Finigan, Treasurer of the Pacific Blood Horse Asso-
ciation felt annoyed at the vaporings of a reporter in one of
the evening papers, and on going to the office of the paper in
question, and showing the falsity of the report the writer was
instantly discharged. Stick to facts, boyp, and yon will not
get into trouble.

Gold Leaf 2:11} will be bred next spring to the premier
stallion of the Pleasanton Stock Farm, Director 2:17. It is
probably needless to Bay that the progeny of such a union
will command a "top of the tree" price whenever it is offered
for sale, but Mr. Salisbury will want to develop that kind
himself before he lets it go.

S. L. Akins, of Newman, StanislauB Co., has sold to Hol-
bert\fc Smith, of Indepe-npence, Inyo Co., tbe magnificent,
two year old colt Antare by Anteros, dam by Iowa Chief 52S;
2nd dam by Tornado 502. This is a great addition to tbe
fine horses of Inyo County and those having good mares in
that section should not overlook him.

B. C. Holly, of Vallejo, has made an offer of $8,000 for
Billy Thornbill 8707 by Bevelry Wilkes 8706; dam Emily by
Geo. Wilkes 519; 2nd dam Sue Stout by Ashland 47; 3rd dam
The Lear mare by Sir William, he by Sir Charles. James
Boyd, the owner of Thornbill. is reported to have refused
the amount. The horBe is a well bred one, and as there is
such a demand for Wilkes blood, should command a large
number of mares.

Marcus Daly, who has appeared so prominently as a pur-
chaser of trotters and thoroughbreds, during 1889, is at pres-
ent in Philadelphia, having his eyes looked after by a prom-
inent physician. There iB a current rumor that ho will not
have his trotters trained in 1890, but several persons who
claim to know tbe gentleman, say that he will have more of
them out than ever.

In the Budd Doble String at Fresno, ib the gray gelding
Jack 2:15, which is owned by George Middletown of Chica-
go. Mr. Middletown is anxious to make a match for his
horse against any trotter in the world for from $5,000 to $15,-
000 a side, and will not almoBt anywhere, What a eood
chance this is for J. C. Hamblin to show what his mare
Belle Hamblin can do, and from this far off point it looks as
though Jack would be the favorite in a match race.

Samuel D. Prather sent me word from Forest Meadows,
under date of December 20th, of the death of Imogene, by
Norwood 522, dam by American Star 14, 2nd dam by Henry
Clay 8. Imogene is the dam of Del Wood by Del Sur, Imona
by Steinway, and Guide 2:23j by Director, and three very
promising colts by Adniar, a son of Admiral. A. T. Hatch
bought her from the Cook Stock Farm some years ago and
he retained an interest in her till her death.

Who says that Wilbur Smith will not go back into the run-
ning business. When the sheriff attached Al Farrow a week or
two ago at the instance of the Bank of Sonoma, that official
pi iced the celebrated crack in the stable of Wilbur for safe
keeping, and now the owner of Thapsin 2:21} oan be seen auy
morning at the Sacramento track, sitting on top of the fence
with a split second watch in his hand, timing the handsome
horse quarters and halves. The early love will crop out at
times.

The law with respect to racing in Vermont is absolutely
prohibitive of betting. The act legalizes racing for stakes and
premiums offered by individuals. The penalty for betting on
a horse race in Vermont is $500.

Billy Vioget's picture, in a Montgomery Bt. Btore has attrac-
ed a good deal of attention, but it looks to the ordinary obser-
ver as if his trousers were too short, and what have you got
on the bottom of them, Billy?

Orville Appleby a brother of W. L. Appleby has started a
training stable on his own account and has already the run-
ners belonging to T. F. Montgomery of San Jose. Orrie is a
good careful man and shouHcommnd a large run of trade.

I had a pleasant call from Willie Thornton this week and
hiB report from the Rancho Resaca, is full of hope for the
future. The yearlings are all in fine fettle, many of them
showing extremely high form. The many friends of Col.
Thornton will be pleased to see his colors again to the
fore.

Sometimes a rather ungracious letter is received at this
office from some one who has become tired of waiting for an
answer to Borne query, and yet we are just aB anxious to give
them the information desired as they are to receive it. At
times a dozen or more letters have to be sent out in order to
get an answer to a single qoestion.

The Du Bois Bros, of Denver, sustained a severe loss on
Friday night of last week in the death of the brood mare
Administratrix. She was by Administrator 357, dam by
Nonpareil. This mare was highly prized by the Du Bois
Bros., and what makes her loss doubly severe, she was
heavy with foal to Superior, 2:19J.

The San Jobs Blood Horse Association are bound to be ear-
ly on the scene of action with their dates, and a meeting will
be held on Tuesday, January 14th to elect officers for tbe en-
eueing years and also to fix the time for the spring meeting.
The as^oo ation is composed of enerpetio men and they will
tffer a brilliant programme with large enough purses to war-
rant the attendance of the best horses in the State.

We have been asked quite a number of times if Stamboul
2:12J would stand in public service during the coming sprirjg.
Mr. Hobart being asked the question, stated that positively
no outside mareB will be taken for Samboul, and that he has
had to refuse at least fifty mares from friends who wished to
patronize the Btallion. What the arrangements may be for
another year the ownes does not know, but it will save trou-
ble and bother for this season, as the rule laid down will not
be deviated from.

Mr. M. Salisbury, of Pleasanton Stock Farm, Pleasanton,
Cal sold four head, two fillies, and two mares, one Echora
2:23:1 tbe dam of Direct, at the Kidd, Edmonson & Morse
Combination Sale at Chicago in November for almost $12,000
an average of nearly $3,000 each. Mr. Salisbury was so well
pleased with the results of the aale that he told Kidd, Ed
monson & Morse who hold a great sale commencing March 17
to 23rd at Chicago, that he would always sell in the future
there, that it was preferable to either Kentucky or New
York.

Mr. Holly is keeping up the Vallejo end of the market in
horse sales. During the week past he has sold to a Colonel
Thompson of New Jersey tho converted pacer San Diego (pac-
ing record 2:21) by Victor, for $1,500, the br g J. R. by Elec-
tor, dam St. Lawrence, record 2:24£, for $2,000, the ch m Al-
laretta by Altoona, dam Nellie for §2,500. I do not know CoIt'
Thompson, but there is onething sure he has Eecared threw
very serviceable animals all of whom can beat their present
records and should prove good winners during 1890.

in Arizona correspondent sends me the information that
there will be three days racing between Christmas and New
Years, at Phoenix A. T. He also encloses the following clip-
ping from a local paper which Bhows the "hoss" knowledge
of the Editor.

Mr. B. F. Baker, probably the smallest man in 8»n Ber-
nardino, brought in last week two of the largest stallions
lately seen. "Bismarck" is s, Hambletonian Clydesdale, a-
bout 16 hands high and weighing 1,435 pounds. *'Drako"
boasts of Norman Percheron descent from Black Hawk and
Morgan. He is a Bplendid fellrw, 17 hands one inch high,
weighing 1800 pounds and aged eight years. His neck curves
handsomely and he is as gentle as a lady school teacher.

L. J. Hose Esq informs me thnt he will send every one of
his brood mares, with the exception of Minnehaha and a few
non-standard oneB, to his sale which will take place in New
York March 6th and 7th. He will also send on all the colts
and fillies by Stamboul and Alcazar, which will make the Rose
sale of 1890 one of the best ever given by a California breeder.
No doubt there will be very lively competition when Alcazar
is brought forward and Mr. Kellogg asks the question, "Now
then, gentlemen, what am I bid for this great son of Sul-
tan?"

Sam Gamble has taken foil charge of the Hobart breeding
establishment, and none better could have been selected for
the responsible position. Sam is earnest and enthusiastic,
still does not allow bis enthusiasm to lead him astray in
matters appertaining to the great problem of breeding. As a
Christmas present, his employer Mr. Hobart, made him a

present of an elegant split second time piece, of remarkably Liverpool in 1878 winning in three straight heats of two miles

It would seem that during the long winter months tbe
wives of trainers who have been accustomed to the city, and
are living partly isolated lives on a race track would find
something of monotoDy therein says the N. Y. Sporting
World. Not so, however, with Mrs. Allen, who has cultiva-
ted her artistic ability, and finds considerable pleasure with
the brush and pallet. Although an amateur, and simply de-
veloping her gift for her own amusement, Mrs. Allen's efforts
would put to blush the work of some of our professional ar-
tists. She has nearly completed a fine portrait of Gorgo,
and is busy now portraying on canvas one of Joseph Cairn
Simpson's trotting horpes from a likeness produced in his
paper. Should King Thomas make his name famous the com-
ing season, tbe band that has often patted him will probably
paint his likeness.

One of my Australian correspondents sends word thatChil-
de Harold 414 died on October 27, from the effect of burst-
ing a blood vessel. He was by Harold 413 dam Young Por-
tia by Mambrino chief, 2nd dam Portia by Rosebuck, 3rd dam
by Whip etc. He was taken to England about 1877 «nd
proved himself by performance to be one of the fastest trot-
ters outside of America. He won the Intercolonial Stakes in

in the rumor that a trainer and driver has been secured by
Mr. Hobart.

Mr. John W. Martin, of Yolo, Yolo County, offers this week
for sale, tbe handsome young colt Alexander Button Jr.
H« is well bred and can show high sp«d. He can be bought
at a reasonable figure and it is well worth while to re^d the
advertisement containing his pedigree,
Mr. Martin,

Considerable correspondence has been indulged in relativ6
to a match between Roy Wilkes and Almont Patchen bul
nothing has come of all the talk as yet. As a final proposi'
tion, Mr. Davies offer* to pace Roy Wilkes against Almont
Patchen, mile heats, three in five and wager $2,500 against
$2,000. The race can come off on any track within one hun-
dred miles of San Francisco any time up to February 15th
Mr. Davies suggests that if the offer is accepted that each of
the parties select one person each, and those two select one
other, the three to determine whether the track be fit to
race on on the day appointed.

At the recent meeting of the New England Association of
Trotting Horse Breeders, the question was raised in regard to
tbe reduction of expenses at the annual fair usually held at
Mystic Park. It was suggested by one of the members that
the bill for advertising, which last year amounted to more
than $1,000 be reduced, but Mr. J. S. Davis, the well-known
soap manufacturer of Cambridge, Mass., was on his feet in
an inBtant, and sternuously opposed anything of tbe sort
He said that he owed a greater part of his succesB to adver-
tiBiDg, and thought that every class of business would profit
by judicious advertising.

"I believe Stamboul is the greatest trotting stallion in the
world," remarked the popular trainer. JameB Golden in the
American Cultivator office a few da} s ago. "He is the best
made one all over that I ever saw. California is a great
country for horses," continued Golden. "I did not seea
poor animal while there. It seems to me, however, that
their climate and soil are not so conducive to sound, well-
shaped feet as ours in New England. The finest ntares that
I ever bbw, ' Baid Golden, "were at Palo Alto, got by Senator
Stanford's trotting stallions, and out of thoroughbred dams.
They have a finish and quality superior to any others that I
ever saw."

In 1880 he won the champion Btallion race at Alexandria

"A letter from New York cunvtjB the intelligence that tba
Hearst stable at Sheepshead Bay, are all in excellent col
dition and wintering in good shape. The three-year-old
contingent certainly are very promising. Headed by that
grand looking colt King Thomas, there are the colts Tonrna-
ment by Sir Modred— Plaything; Ballarat, by Sir Modred —
La Favorita, and Anaconda by Spendthrift — MaidofAtbol;
while specially strong is the stable with three year old fillies,
with Golden Horn by Spendthrift — Constantinople; Gloam-
ing, by Sir Modred— Twilight; MIbs Belle, by Prince Charlie
— Linnet, and Everglade, by Iroquois — Agenoria. Another
good looking one is the daughter of Isonomy. Gorgo. She
seems to have grown materially, and her long, black, silken
coat looks like a sealskin robe. Tournament is a big fellow,
too. Mr. Allen also has several yearlings, just now coming
to, including Sir Lancelot, War Path, by Warwick or Ban
Fox, out of tbe dam of Exile, and an apparent eem i° Fire-
works, a full sister to the mighty Dew Drop. Then there are
among tbe others Atlas, by Hyder Ali— Fidelity; ^genon, a
favorite with Mr. Alien, who knew Lis sire, Joe Hioker, so
well in California. This colt is out of Faustina, and his had
brother, Sir Lancelot, by Sir Modred, occupies a near by
stall. Babicora, named after Senator Hearst's Mexican ranch,
by Hyder Ali— Graciosa, is another of tbe yearlings. Besides
Senator Hearst'B string there are but few other horses at tbe
track. J Shields has a few yearlings, but it is soon expected
on with the full stable, and others are likely to arrive about
Christmas time.

El Rio Rey.

The raciDg stable of Theodore Winters won §63,000 during
the BeaBOn just dosed, says the Breeder's Gazette. Of course
the bulk of this large sum came through the performances of
the great two-year-old colt El Eio Key, be having au unbeaten
record and winning some of the most valuable stakes in the
East and West. In spite of the fact that on Beveral occasions
when rich prizes were at his mercy, El Bio Key was prevented
bv rain from starting, his trainer not caring to take any
chances with such a valuable colt, his gross winnings for the
season were $47,485, and bad he been started in all his en-
casements irrespective of'weatlier conditions, and won them,
the imount to his credit would have been cloBe to $60,000.
Whether or not El Kio Rey will be of any account as a race
horse nest season is a question that will be discussed by
horsemen all the winter. It is almost the universal experi-
ence that when a colt has lung troubles of the kind that
attacked El Kio Rey a couple of months ago, and brought
him so close to death's door, it is seldom the animal ever fully
recovers its vigor, especially to the extent that it ib again
capable of running or trotting good races. On the Bbowmg
made during the Beason of 1SS9, El Rio Rey should easily
head the list of Ameiioan three-year olds in 1890, and bb he is
entered in all the principle BtakeB for his age, including the
American and Kentucky DerbieB, the question of whether or
not his lungs have been permanently injured is an import-
ant one to the ownera of other colts that are nominated in the
same events, but that if the Califoruian is in Bx might as well
be in the barn on the day of the race, bo far as auy chance
they might have of beating him is concerned. It seems cer-
tain that from now until Bay the first of next June, by which
time it will be possible to tell something about the real condi-
tion of the colt, the owner of El Rio Rey will have a chance
to do as much thinking as any man in the country. If his
colt haB not been permanently injured it is praclioally certain
that he will win §50,000 in stakes next season. If he baB
been permanently injured he won't win anything at all. It
is quite like a lottery for Mr. Winters.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arphippus.

The athletes are jubilant over the prospect of a dry spell.
In a few days the ground will be sufficiently dry to allow the
rnnneis and walkers a cliance to resume practice. From
preseut indications it is safe to assert that the Spring of 1S90
will be a memorable one in the history of amateur athletics
on the Pacific Coast. Athletes, oarsmen and wheelmen are
already beginning to make preparations for the coming sea-
son, and it is a foregone conclusion that many of the coast
records will be lowered during the present year.
TO THE ATHLETES.

In this, the first issue of the Breeder and Sportsman for
1890, we would like to address a few remarks to the athletes.
'This department is now several months old, and is generally
acknowledged to be the best edited athletic department west
of the Rocky Mountains. From the start it has been the aim
of the editor to publish only suoh news as would interest the
athletic readers of the Breeder and Sportsman. Except
under the headings of "Jottings from all Over," the notes
that have apoeared in this department from time to time have
all been strictly original. The athletic, rowing and bicycling
jottings have always been the chief feature of our athletic
columoB, and our readers can always rest assured that our
notes are perfectly auth ntic, and can be relied upon as true
facts. We have, through our large and universal acquaintance
with the athletes, been able to obtain news that the reporters
of the daily press have failed to gather. As a genuine proof
of this assertion, we would like to call the readers' attention
to the fact that fifty percent of the athletic news appearing in
these columns is utilized by the sporting editors of other
locul journals. The athletic prospect ahead is indeed very
bright, and in the course of the present year there will be
quite a large amount of news to publish. Our readers can
rest assured that after they have perused the athletic depart-
ment of this paper, they will have become acquainted with all
the news worthy of attention. In the future, as in the past,
it will be our chief aim to present our readers with such news
as will particularly interest them, and they can rest doubly
assured that when criticising any performance or exhibition,
<»ur opinion will be baBed on a'i upright and unprejudiced
foundation, and we will make it our special duty to ferret out
fraud and expose it to our readeiB.

ATHLETICS 18S9— 1890.

"We are on the verge of a new season. The one juBt passed
was anything but a pleasant one for the athletes. Fewer ath-
letic meetings were held duriug the year 1889 than during
any other year siuce athletics first began to creep into favor
on the Pacific Coast. The oause is easily explained. In (he
first place, the athletic clubs, outside of the Olympic Club,
took more interest in "slogging matches" than in amateur
athletics. In comparison with the coble fiBtic gladiator, the
amateur athlete was a mere nothing. It has been fights,
fights, fights from oue end of the year to the other. For the
professional "sloggers" the amateuis have been oast aside as
it were, but realizing the danger which threatened their pas-
times, they have- boldly struck out for themselves and the
result of their uprising waB the organization of the Alpine
Amateur Athletic Club.

In forming this club the athletes did a very creditable
piece of work. They proved that they were no lunger willing
to remain in bondage. They mauifonted their disapproval of
being members of clubs run and owned by corporations. Tak-
ing, for instance, the Golden Gate Athletic Club as a criteri-
on, what has it ever done in the interest of its out-door ama-
teur members? True, a picnic was twice held under its
auppiceB, but last year its owners were too much absorbed in
prize-fighting to afford any of their time in the interest of
amateur athletics. When the did hold a field day the medals
awarded the winners were so wretobed that the athletes
vowed never Rgaiu to compete in the club games. Aud yet
the club, month after month, subscribes sums ranging from
$500 to §1,500 for "fake" slogging matches. We are hi i prised
ihut the P, 0. A. A. ever permitted suoh an organization to
become one of itb associate clubs. There are many other
» 'ubs of the satoe description iu Sau Franeisoo which are
nho owned by a body of men and run iu their interests and
i>t in the interests oi the members However, we are highly
pleased to thiDk that these bngus clubs will Boon dwindle in-
10 insignificance. The citizens of Sau Francisco are begin-
ning lo grow heartily bick ot prize-fightinu.

Every morning at the breakfast table, on picking up the
daily paper, the first item that attraots a person's notice is
prize-fighting- Sometimes this branch of news is disguised
under the heading of ''Athletics." Be that as it may, our
wives and daughters, as well as our sons, have their attention
repeatedly called to nauseating reports of brutal fights.

Suoh newspaper articles are perfectly demoralizing to our
youth. After the Sullivan-Jackson fight, if it ever takes
place, the interest in fighting will suddenly die oat, and with
perhaps one exception the clubs will all break up.

Amateur athletics will then receive more attention and
legitimate sports, both iudoor and out-door, will soon be
booming. With three first-class clubs in the field on May
30th nest the battle for the Champion pennant should be a
hot one. Each club will urge its representative to train—
and many of the long standing records will possibly make
room for better oDes.

The clnb that will win the banner this year will certainly
be a champion club. At present it would be haid to name
the winner, but there is no telling what changes may occur
during the months that will intervene betweeunow and May.
The athletic meetings during the present year will be numer-
ous. There will be several in-door meetings in addition to
the usual field days, eo that the outlook for the amateurs is
indeed very encoaraging.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JDMPERS, etc.

McDonald, the young Olympic sprinter, Btates that he will
appear on the track in fine condition on February 22.

Jarvis should not compete in the Washington Birthday
games unleBS he can spare time to get into good condition.
A man out of condition who is heavily handicapped gener-
ally finds it a difficult task to win a race.

Charley Hill, the ex-champion walker, has informed ub
that he will never appear on the track again.

James Sexsmith of the Alpine Athletic Club, should make
a new record in the pole vault at the championship games.

Charles Vultie of the Alpine Club, will try for second
place in the high jump. With judicoius and faithful prac-
tice this promising young athlete should come next to
Moffitt.

The amateurs of the California Athletic Club are still won-
dering if the clnb will ever do anything in their interest.
Many of them have joined the Alpine Athletic Club.

Without Purcell and Schiflfersteia the Olympic Club will
make but a poor showing at the championship games. The
chances are that both men will train a little in order to keep
their club out.

H. C. Cassidy, the mile runner, has made up his mind to
returned to Wooland. He will visit the City every month in
order to compete in the Alpine Athletic Clnbs. Members
handicap meetings at Harbor View.

The absurd report that the Olympic Club contemplated
donating a prize of $1500 for a professional sprint race at
its opening gameB on February 22nd, is deserving of ridicule.
The club will find it hard enough to pay for the medals to be
awarded the amateurs without throwing away $1500 on a
couple of professional "fake" sprinters.

P, N. Gafney has been elected official bandicapper of the
Alpine Amateur Athletic Club.

J. J. Larkey has been electei field captain.

THE WHEELMEN.

The weather having modified somewhat, the wheelmen are
commencing to get their wheels into shape for the coming
season.

George P. Wetmore and Sanford Plummer, both of the Bay
City Wheelmen, have joined the Alpine Athletic Club.

Henry M. Lichtenstein, of the San Franoisco Bicycle Club,
has also joined the Alpines.

The Alpine Athletic Clnb wilt probably"add. a bicycle race
to their programme for February.

The coming carnival at the Mechanios Pavilion is causing
great exoitement iu wheeling circles. A prize of $150 is of-
fered by the Directors of the Mechanics Pavilion for a com-
petitive drill among the wheelmen. Clubs fn m all over the
State will be represented and the competition will most un-
doubtedly be close.

The Stockton Club is to send sixteen men to oompete,

AT THE OARS.

H. O. Farrell has resigned from the Ariel Bowing Club. He
has joined the Alpine Athletic Club.

Several other prominent members have joined the Alpine
Club and will resign from the Ariel Club in the noar future.

The Lurliue Club gave an athletic and aquatic exhibition
at their club house on Sunday last. The boat races were
hotly contested and the indoor exhibition wbb unusually
good. About 1.000 rjersons were present.

It is rumored that Long Bridge will be deserted by the row-
ing clubs before present season is over. For the regatta pur-
poses the location is certainly oat of the way and Alameda
would be a much better locality for the clubs.

All the members of the Amateur Champion Ciew have
joined the Alpine Athletic club and Harbor View will be used
as a training station for the present. When the club grows
stronger the chances are that the S. P. Co. will build a boat
house for the club at Alameda.

The charter of the Pacific Rowing Association is now open
in order to give all the clubs a chance to join.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

There is but little chance now that the track at the Olym-
pic clubs new out-door grounds will be in first class condition
on Feb. 22. The ground is in a terrible condition and it wdl
require at least two weeks drying before the track can be fin-
ished.

The Olympio club will give one of its enjoyable "Ladies
Nights" about the end of the present montu. The medals
won at the late field day of the club held at Berkeley will be
presented to the winners on that evening.

The California Atbletio club appears to be followed bv bad
luck. Nearly every month one of its booked fighters" gets
disabled so that the exhibitions have to be constantly post-
poned. The same luck that attends the lighthers appears to
have overtaken the Amateur Champion Wrestler of the club,
Gus Ungerman, who badly bruised his finger a couple of days
ago. He was to wrestle a match in a few days but owing to
his injury the match has been declared off.

Why does not the P. 0. A. A A. hold a business meeting?

Woik was begun on the dressing rooms for the Alpine
Athletic (Jlnb's members at Harbor View aihletic grounds on

Sunday lust. Half a do

carpenters, assisted by over

twenty volunteers from amongst the members of the club
worked hke TrojiDs all daylong. By sundown the main
building was almost hoi-hed. The club members who were
at the ^ruundb when the work commenced attached their

names to a sheet of paper, placed it in a bottle and buried it
beneath the building. The following names were attached to
the paper: E. H. Moody, T. J. Cunningham, J. J. McKin-
on, Charles Armbruster, M. C. Giry, F. Howard, Jas. Shee-
han, P. N. Gafney. J McLaughlin, C. A, Eldridge, George
Simmonds and John D. Garrison. The grounds will be fin-
ished by January 15th. „

The Modesto Athletic Club ban disqualified itBelf as an
amateur club by offering money as prizes for boxing matches.
There are no strictly amateur clubs now on the Pacific Coast
outside of San FranciBCo, barring the University Atheltic
club.

JOTTINtiS FROM ALL OVER.

T.P. Cornier!, the crack runner, is lying dangerously ill.
It is thought that he will not be strong enough to run again
for many months.

H. H. Baxter of the New York Athletic Club, the holder of
the ouldoor and indoor records for pole vaulting, lift Sin,
and lift 3in, respectively, has entirely recovered from the
effects of the accident which befell him some months ago
while competing at an athletic meeting. Owing to the injury
to his arm he was obliged to refrain from competing during
the summer months.

The annn>d election of officers of the Athletic Club of the
Schuylkill Navy, Philadelphia, took place on Di camber 14th,
the regular ticket being carried by a large majority. The
officers for 1890 areas follows: President, M W Phillips:
Vice-President, the Hon. John E Reyburn; Secretary, WE
Wallace; Treasurer, Harry McMillan; Captain, John F Hun-
eker; Directors. George R Crump, Joseph H Baker, William
Carey Brown, Dr. Thomas H Fenton, J B Mingus, Elward
Mdligan, George W Grove, Walter Canningham, James B
McCutcheon, William M Benerman, Dr. Bernard BereoB,
Brandon L Keys, H B Langworthy, Eugene Zieber, Alonzo
R Parsons; Elective Committee, N L Toy, Walter Nagle. W
E Jenks, J D Ferguson, Dr. Conrad Berens, H Y Mageoch, B
L Robinson. Tbe report of the retiring Board was a most
satisfactory one. In the hands of the treasurer there is a
fund of $20,000, saved from the receipts of the current year.
'The membership to date is 1,775, and when the list reaches
2,000 the initiation fee mil be increased from $1*5 to $25. Tbe
question of an 'outdoor athletic grounds is certain to be
solved erelong, and! a location is now in view which has
good facilities in regard to access.

A few figures concerning the Thanksgiving Day football
game on the Berkeley oval between Yale and Princeton, may
open the eyeB of some who probably have rot thought of the
financial part of that great college event. Dr. John S White,
president of the Berkeley Athletic Club, furnished the fig-
ures. He says the receipts from admission tickets and seats
were $14,307, and from gate money and coaches $1,000
more, making a grand total of $15,307. The respective col-
lege teams received in the neighborhood of $6t000 each as
thear share.

The members of the Manhattan Athletic Clnb wre anxious-
ly looking forward to the completion of their new building
on Madison avenue, New York City.

ALPINE AMATEUR ATHLETIC CLUB.

The second meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club
was held at 539 California Street, on Friday evening, Decem-
ber 27th.

The committee on club rooms reported progress.

The committee on out-door training grounds reported that
the Harbor View Athletic Grounds had been secured and
would be ready for occupancy on Januarv 15th, Tbe com-
mittee were given power to have suitable batbing^ and dress-
ing rooms built for the use of the members. It was decided
to close the oharter roll.

H. O Farrell made a long speech in which he Btated that
the club was now an assured success, and that the turning
point had just been reached. H1b remarks im brief were
these:

"Gentlemen, there is not a person in this room to-night
who can say otherwise than that the Alpine Amateur Athletic
Club is a suocess. What other club at present existing in San
Francisco can claim to have started out on Buch a solid bapis
as this one has? Just think of it, we have over 150 mem-
bers and yet we have beeu organized but two weeks. There
remains now for us either to go ahead and prosper or remain
stationary and perish. Let ambition carry us forward to
victory. Rome was not built in a day, neither can we expect
to build our reputation in a day. If we make ourselvea
known inside of one year, I think we will be doing well. If
each and every member would only be ambitious, we will
not only be known but feared inside of twelve months. The
first steriping stone to success in a club like this one Bhould
be show. We have got to make a show or we will never suc-
ceed.

Let us hold a monster indoor athletic tournament in tbe
MechanicB Pavilion, embracing all the in and outdoor past
times. Let us offer valuable prizes for competition, aud every
amate'ur athlete on the Pacific Coast will help us out. The
public will patronize ub on account of the inducements offered
and our treasury will be made richer.

The co-operation of the members is necessary to in-
sure success, and I feel confident that every man who has
signed his name to our charter roll will acquiesce in my
ideas.

President Giry ably responded to Mr. Farrell'a speech, and
asked Borne of the members present to express their opinions
on the subject. It was finally decided to appoint a committee
of ten to make careful enquiries into tbe cost of holding tho
tournament proposed by Mr. Farrell. Tbe following gentle-
men were named by the president as a committee to investi-
gate the matter and report back to the cluh at large: T.J.
Cuuniugbam (chairman), Charles Valtee, E P. Moody, J. P.
Beau, P. N. Gafney, J. J. McKiunon, H. O'Farrell, E. Sulli-
van, John D. Garrison and Felix McKeona.

It was decided to bold a handicap meeting for members of
the club only at the Harbor View training grounds about the
second Sunday iu February. Valuable medals will be pre-
sented to the winners. Only members of the club will be
allowod to wituesF this exhibition.

The following investigation committee was appointed: J.
P. Bean, T. J. Quinliin and Rudolph Brewer. The following
athletes were nominated for Field Captain: E. P. Moody, J.
J. Larkey and R. J. Luttringcr. For the position of Official
Handirapper, the following were nominated: P. N. Gafney,
E. J. Goodwin aud W. J. Jefferey.

Tbe Board of Directors will make the appoiuitnents.

On the Charter roll are the names of several prominent
oarsmen, wheelmen, and geuf ral athlntes. The initiation fee
for the next three months will be $2 50. The monthly dues
have been fixed at $1.

Until such time as the rooms of tbe club on Tenth Street
are finished, it will occupy temporary rooms.

The club will prohibly be admitted to the P. 0, A. A. A.
before Washington's Birthday.

THE FARM.

Breeding Hereforde.

Id his address before the American Hereford Association,
Adams Earl, its president, urged his hearers not to be dis-
couraged at the present low prices of beef or breeding stock.
In his younger days, he said, even lower prices prevailed.
Stock raibing, the "breeding of Hereford cattle in particular,
he declared to be a good and profitable business. He urged
a more frequent use of the knife, and that pure bred steers
be exhibited more frequently. Of late steers had not taken so
active a part in shows as they should, grades in particular,
as rhey, above all others, showed what could be done by a
good Hereford sire. — O. J. Farmer.

Shall Milch Cjws Breed Annually?

Practically I find that where cows are kept in milk over
eleven cr twelve months, they are quite Biire to convert more
of their food iuto flesh, and lesB into milk than when bred to
come in annually. The best of cows will often thus take on
flesh and become dry before the close of the second year,
though fed on the best of milk-producing rations. A good
dairy cow, with proper food and care, will continue to yield
a large amonnt of milk during nearly the entire yearwh.ru in
calf eveiy twelve months. Without these condition-* of food
and care, she will dry off as when in her natural state, or if,
by reason of a superior milking development, there should
chance to be a continued flow, it would be at the cost of de-
bility in the mother, and a weak and imperfect development
in the calf. Under favorable treatment both the mo'.her and
progenv may be healthy and strong, though the former may
continue to give a good flow of milk for eleven months out of
the twelve and yield a much stronger aggregate amount of
milk in two years than when in calf but once during the
time. By al'owingour cows to remain in milk so long after
calving, we get too far from those natural conditions which
underlie a large and healthy product of milk, which materni-
ty alone supplies. — |F. D. Douglas, in Eural New Yorker.

Cattle Firms Join Issues.

It is now a settled fact that two of the biggest beef and
cattle firms in the country, the Monroes of Boston, and the
Hammond Co., of Hammond, Ind , have united, and that in
the amalgamation the live cattle industry has lost one of the
heaviest dealers, while the dressed beef industry has been
increased by one. It was rumored Saturday that the Mon-
roes had purchased a big amount of stock in the Hammond
dressed meat corporation. Monday the story was to a cer-
tain extent verified by the fact that the stock purchased by
W. H. Thompson, Jr , the Chicago representative of the
Monioes, was weighed to Hammond & Co.

Mr. Thompson stated yesterday that the firms had consoli-
dated and that he was senaing his purchases to Hammond.
Beyond that he could give no particulars. The change gave
rise to considerable speculation in stock circles when it be-
came known. The Monroe firm was one of the heaviest
buyers at the Chicago yards to-day, having shipped stock on
hoof to Albany and Boston They have been engaged in the
dressed beef business for about two years, but did all the
slaughtering at Eastern points. The Boston dressed beef
plant has, it is understood, been turned into the new com-
pany, and it is understood that tbe Monroes will be eastern
representatives of the Hammond Company. The Hammond
concern is one of the most extensive io the country. It is
one of the alleged "Big Four. "—Chicago Herald.

Ayrshire Cattle.

The Ayrshire breed has taken a well-defined place in
American husbandry. While, un the oue hand, no one ex-
pects from an Ayrshire cow any phenomenal records in the
production of milk or butter, on the other she maintains a
goid average production, both in quality "and quantity The
milk is less rich in butter-fats than that of Channel Island
cattle, but shows on an average about thirteen per cent, of
solidB and four, tofonrand a half per cent, of butter-fats, and
selected cows have far exceeded this. The yield of milk is
never phenomenally great in quantity, but an average of five
thousand to seven thousand pounds per year may be de-
pended upon. While making no claims as a special beef
breed, the Ayrshires "kill well," steers at two or three years
old weighing twelve hundred and fifty to fourteen hundred
pounds. The dressed carcass does not show so large a per
cent, of weight compared with the total when alive, as the
Short-horns, Herefor 's or AberJeen-Apgus. But the beef,
when well fattened, is finely marbled, palatable and of gool
flavor. They are good feeders, and an Ayrshire bullock or
dr> cow will fatten on feed that would scarcely keep a pam-
ptred animal of the larger breeds alive. But the distinguish-
ing excellence of the Ayrshire is that it is har.ly, largely ex-
empt from disease, and easily kept. It is this which makes
it the "farmer's cow" all around the world. — American Agri-
culturist.

Diplomacy With Kickers.

It sometimes seems as if tbe horns and cloven hoofs of the
cow were significant of a legacy of evjl-mindeduess from a
personality generally pictured with such equipments. Every-
one knows that a cow always acts the meanest and most ob-
stinate when one is in a hurry or out of patience. The obvi-
ous moral is — not Io be in a hurry or out of patience in deal-
ing with a nervous cow. One can always draw more milk
from her than he can pound out. Cowa have more than one
reason for lifting a foot in protest against the milker. It may
be fright, nervousness, real pain or an old habit. The last is
the hardest to manage, but each cause needs to be studied
a d treated in its own peculiar way. With one cow that per-
sistently started, stepped and kicked it was at last discovered
that she did it when the leat was grasped high up in begin-
ning to milk. The pressure of milk there caused pain. The
milking at first with but two or three fingers on the end of
the teat and drawing downward so as to elongate it and re-
lieve the pressure above, the cow was got to s<an 1 perfectly
quiet. This plan may mollify a number of "kickers." An
old farmer's remedy is to strap a surcingle tightly around the
cow's body just forward of the udder. Whether it is the feel-
ing of restraint that it gives or some effect of the pressure at
the upper extremity of the udder, or the constriction of the
muscles that draw the leg forward is difficult to say, but the
plan is often successful. There are, to->, appliances for draw-
ing back the leg and holding it. clamps to Bcrew on the joint,
etc. But half the battle will be ourB if the confidence and
goodwill of the animal can be won by kind treatment and
such conciliators advances as rubbing her neck and the offer
of a handful of meal.— Charles H. Crandall in N. X Tri-
buae-.

Axioms for Beef Growers.

Some kinds of cattle will come to maturity sooner than
others. Some cattle will return a larger amount of weight
for a given quantity of food thin others. Some cattle will
give a larger percentage of desirable and valuable meat to
the undesirable and invaluable than others. Some cattle
will be eagerly sought after and greedily bought by butchers,
while others, which have really cost more money to raise,
will be shunned, and if bought at all, only at an ucremu-
nerative price. Tbe present beef markets are the most elo-
quent advocates of intelligent improvement in beet produc-
tion. The differences in prices of the desirable and undesir-
able types are too great to be longer ignored by oar cattle
raisers. A new fashion in beef animals has invaded our
land, and in this as in everything else, fashion is a despot.
Its mandates must be observed, its orders must be obeyed.

Breed in accordance with the rtquirements of the fashion,
whether you like the fashion or not. Beef cattle are low in
price, but poor beef cattle are much lower than good ones.
It costs no more, nor as much to raise the good than the
poor. Cattle we must have, our farms demand them, they
are one of the foundation stones of fertility. Toe necessi-
ty acknowledged, it ib folly to hesitate regarding the kind of
Cittle to grow. Breeders adapted to the present demands
of the beef market are at hand, and of their capacity we need
have no doubt. There never was a time when the desired
blood could be so cheaply introduced into our herds as now,
and probably will not be again for many years to come
This fact coupled with tbe almost positive assurance that the
margin of price between the desiraole and undesirable types
is rapidly growing wider ii our markets, pleads "trumpet
tongued" for a universal improvement in beef cattle. I can
not afford to buy a blooded bull, nor ever pay for the service
of one while cattle are so low in price," is neither good log-
ic nor good busiress. Better reasoning is this. "Cattle are
low in price; the bast are low enough; the poorer then are
out of the question. The times demand the best, and if at
prasent prices the best show no prospect of profit, why should
I invite heavy loss by raising the poor?— Farm, Stock and

Home.

New Blood in Poultry.

New blood in poultry is the basis of beauty, vigor and pro-
lificnesi. It is more essential to successful poultry culture
than all else combined. Fowls that are inbred, that have
been bred in line several years without the addition or infu-
sion of fresh blood trom other strains of the same variety, but
to which they are not directly related, become inactive, dim-
inutive and unprofitable.

It has been said that iubred fowls breed true to feather,
and that for this reason, because they all come alike and are
therefore best suited to exhibition, inbreeding is desirable,
and thiB is true to a very great extent, for we have tried it.
They do come alike in more respects than one. They breed
true to feather, it is true, but they also have the same inact-
ive, stupid and unattractive appearance. Their very life
seems to have been dulled. They are slow to develop in
form and muscle, and they are slow to lay.

While inbred fowls may be suitable for exhibition purposes,
they are certainly unprofitable, and for this rsason. with the
person who is keeping poultry for profit, they should have
no part or lot.

Far more desirable is the fowl that by its very appearance,
its very move and action manifests the fresh, new blood that
it embodies. There is an activity, grace and vigor about it
that is refreshing.

The male bird that comes of fresh blood is the one that is
ever on the alert to make himself attractive and agreeable to
his mates. Every choice bit of food that he finds he saves
for them, and he calls them about him with a gallantry that
is admirable. He leads them to the nest over which he crows
with a satisfactory crow, that seems to manifest a knowledge
of its value in the poultry world.

A male bird of this kind crows from the top of the fence
with a flap of the wings that always gives notice of the bugle
call thut is to follow.

Equal to the male bird of fresh blood is the hen that comes
of a similar parentage. She is keen and active, healthy and
vigorous, and one of the best layers of her kind. In truth,
in no way does new blood manifest itself more strongly than
in the laying qualities of our hens.

It is absolutely necessary, in order to have our hens lay
profitably, that is, to lay enough eggs to pay for their keep
and a profit b:sides, that we introduce lresh blood in our
flocks every year. The writer has kept a record for several
years, and observed closely, .ind in every instance the
pullets of the newest blood that come of the flock in which a
male absolutely un-akin to the females had been introduced
the Bpring previoxis, were always the first to lay, in point of
age, and make the best layers generally.

To have healthy, vigorous and profitable poultry we must
then, without any question, introduce new blood annually in
our flocks. — Southern Cultivator.

A Study of Merinos.

For more than 2,000 years prior to the beginning of the
present century the Spaniards bred the Merino sheep and kept
tbe blood pure. The government did not allow any of them
to go out of tbe country. The Napoleonic wars opened the way
for their dissemination by confiscating the property of the
nobles and princes, they owning the best flocks. It was then
that importations of these sheep arrived in this country.
Several flocks went to Vermont. The animals were wrinkly
and Bomewhat greasy. These features being considered evi-
dences of "royal blood" the subsequent breeding there was
to that end. Wrinkles and weight of fleece (which in this
case largely means grease) were bred for at the expense of size
of body and vigorof constitution, and to-day "Vermont sheep"
and "wrinkles and grease" are synonymous. These are pro-
perly the Spanish merinos. One lot of the earliest importa-
tion found its way to Ohio, where subsequent successful in-
breeding from them has ever since been conducted with other
ends in view— to breed off the wrinkles, to secure longer
wool freerer from grease, larger oarcass and more vigorous
constitution. Flocks of similar breeding have sprung up in
Western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and other places. Tnese
improved sheep can be rightfully classed under the one gen-
eral bead of American Merinos. Some of the sub-diviBions
are the Dickinson, Blacktop, Delaine, and Mutton. Breeders
of these different families claim direct descent from the Hum-
phrey importation ot 1802; whether tbia be really so or not,
the animals of the various flocks appeir alike and their pow-
ers of prepotency are well established.

It is rightly claimed for the American Merinos that tliey
are the beat tombination of wool and mutton, with the qual-
ity r-f early maturity, herding, feeding, vigor of constitution
andprepotent power of reproduction. The bucks are largely
in demand in California, Texas, and on the Southwestern

ranges for several reasons: Merinos will eat ten t<-> twelve
more kindp of herbage than any other hreed, in a continuous-
ly warm climate nature goes to work at once to relieve them
of their surplus fleeces, if Northern bloud were not constantly
introduced the average weight of fleece would soon shrink to a
minimum. So long as sheep are grown for profit in the
warmer sections of the Qoited States, there will be required
a constant in-pouring of Northern blood where nature provides
the animals with a finer and denser coaling their protection
from the ever changeable weather. The sheep in warmer cli-
mate are shorn twice a year, principally because at the close
of the hot dry season the wool takes a new start in growth
and if not short then thtre will be a weak spot in the wool
fibte, seriously imparing the value of the fleece The Amer
ican Merinos possessing so great a weight of fleece and
length of fibre free from gum and surplus grease is found to be
desirable in such saasou. Au inch or even half an inch, in-
creased length at the semi-annual clipping adds largely to the
prices obtainable for the out-put of wool.— Galen Wilson
in New York Tribune.

Grading Up-

If we realized how little it costs to have good animals we
would certainly possess them. For the shambles, the dairy,
or work, high grade are fully as good as pure bred animals.
In fact a majority of feeders prefer high grad i cattle, sheep
or hogs to full blooded animals for feeding for flesh. They
pnt on flesh as economically and rapidly as pure bred slock,
and a touch of native blood makes them a little lesB fastidious
about their food and a little better adapted to "rustling."
But this touch of native blood should not exceed one-eighth.
That is, for the animal to be as desirable as a full blood for
all purposes other than breeding it must have at least seven-
eighths good blood.

Now how long and how much money will it take to eet
this? Not a reader of this paper has perhaps a scrub animal;
all our stock has at least a little improved blood. But to
make the worst possible case for grading up. so that none
can object, we will presume that our animals are scrubB. A
full-blooded bear can be bought for ten dollars more thau a
sc*ub. He will not have a fancy pedigree, but he will have
an undoubted and a good one — he will be a registered hog;
and he will be a first-class animal in individual merits. This
boar will, with fair care and feed, serve thirty sows in one
season and get at least 250 live pigs. At the end of this sea-
son he will sell for more than a scrub; but we will not count
this, and there'ore the cost per pig of the improvement he
has made is four cents. That is, a hilf blood pig costs four
cents more than a scrub. Using a pure bied male on the
half blood sows will produce three-quarters good blood pigs,
at au additional cost of four cents per pig; and a further ex-
pense of four cants per pig will bring tne pigs up to a seven-
eighths grade. ThuB the total cost of a seven-eighth grade
pig above a scrub is only twelve cents, and the improvement
can be made in about two years and a half. How very cheap
this improvement! No sensible man can doubt that it would
be highly profitable.

How much will a seven-eighths grade calf cost above a
scrub? I can gat a good Shorthorn, Holstein Friesian or
Jersey bull for $10 more than a scrub will cost. This ani-
mal will not have a fancy pedigree, but it will be a good,
registered one; and for our purpose such an animal is just as
good as one having a fancy pedigree. During the season
this bull will get fifty calves, and he may be used a second
Beason. Hence the cost of the improvement he puts on each
calf will be only forty cents. The first forty cents will make
the calf a half blood; tbe second will make it a three-quarter
blood, and tbe third forty cents will bring it up to our stan-
dard— seven-eighths improved blood. The total cost per
calf is $1 20! The value of the improvement, when tbe ani-
mal is three years old, is not less than SI 2 — at least ten
times what it has cost. Certainly realizing one thousand
per cent, on an investment is good business.

If a farmer has not fifty sows or fifiy cows he can purchase
a full blooded boar or bull in partnership with some neigh-
bors. Likely a purchase on the co-operation plan is best.
Let one of the purchasers be paid so much for taking care
of the animals, and all parties pay so much per service; then
at the close of the season the margin of receipts for services
above expenditure for care is divided among tbe purchasers,
in proportion to the Jimonnt of purchase money contributed
by each. Of course it will be very desirable to purchase a
full blooded female also. Her produce being full blooded can
be used aB breeders, thus keeping at home the money that
otherwise would be sent elsewhere for pore bred males, while
a herd of pure bred animals would be built up. The ser-
vice of a male could be exchanged with some neighbor if
necessary, to avoid too close in-and-in breeding. — Stockman
and Farmer.

The annual meeting of the American Poland-China Record
Company will be held at the Grand Hotel, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, beginning Wednesday, January 15, 1890.

La3t year the December receipts at the Chicago stock yards
were 211,861 cattle, 5,43b calves, 447.075 hogs, 135.833 sheep,
and 3 287 horses. It is estimated that this month's receipts
of hogs will be at least 200,000 head in excess of the number
received last December.

There are in Great Britain this season 2.S25 silos, being
158 more than last year, and representing an increase in the
silo capacity of 658,780 cubic feet.

The New j^ork Sun says that the following are standard
quotations in the New York horse market: "Fairs of matobed
carriage horses from $800 to $1,600, pair of coachers $800
to $1,200. saddle horses $300 to $1,000, teams of truckers
$600 to $900. express pairs $600 to $800, single drivers (or
light roadsters) $250 to $750, business horses $175 to $250
roadsters $100 to $150.

Tbe progress of Aberdeen- Angus cattle is indicated by the
fact that 11,260 have been registered by the American Associ-
ation having this breed in charge— 1,396 during the last year.

The number of hogs packed between November 1st and
December 17th ot leading points is 2, 190,000, against 1,785,-
000 a year ago. showing an increase of 405,000. As conjpun.il
with two years ago there is a moderate decrease for the sea-

A Breeding Theory.

On another page will be found a letter from C. Bruce
Lowe, of Sidney, New South Wales, a gentleman who
has paid a good deal of attention to the breeding prob-
lem, and is conaidered by Australians the peer of any
man living in the knowledge which is so highly essen-
tial to those who study and carry out practically the
various theories which are from time to time brought
before the public by the many writers for the sporting
press. Mr. Lowe advances a theory that is not alto -
gether new, but pr*senls it so forcibly that it is well
worthy of the consideration of every breeder in this
country. We should be pleased to hear from our read-
ers what they think of Mr. Lowe's idea, as there cannot
be too much said or written in regard to any new sug-
gestion that will tend to enlighten those who are breed"
ing to get the best.

P. C T. H. B. A.

Next Wednesday evening is the time selected for the
annual meeting of the Pacific CoaBt Trotting Horse
Breeders* Association, and every member should make it
a point to be present. The annual election for officers is
the most important feature of the meeting, and it is to
the interest of each and every one that a suitable Board
of Directors be chosen. A Breeders* Association should
not be one only in name, but should be controlled by
those who have the interests of breeders at heart; in fact,
should be directed by gentlemen actually in the business-
There are plenty of live, wide-awake breeders who can
be selected as Directors from among the following
names. Leland Stanford, Win. Corbitt, G. Valensin, M-
Salisbury. F. H. Burke, F. W. Loeber, D. M. Reavis, 8.
N. Straube. R. Gir3, W. Page, J. H. White, G W.
Guerne, Irvin Ayres, E. Tophara, A. Gonzalez and Gil-
bert Tompkins. These names are simply taken at ran-
dom, and without having a list of the members to select
from, gentlemen who are in the business to make money,
and it is only natural to suppose that they would guard
the interests of the association as they would any of the
details of their own private affairs. It is from such as theBe
that the Directors should be taken, and if this suggestion
is acted upon, the breeder's meeting of 1890 will be the
most successful ever held in California.

If a fair representation from various portions of the
State should be present, it will be a favorable opportun-
ity to start the Pacific Coast Trotting Association, which
was talked so much about last Fall. In fact, there are
so many important matters to be looked after, that every
member should be present. Remember, Wednesday
evening, January 8th, at the Palace Hotel, San Fran-
cisco.

The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake-
As has been predicted in our columns for several weeks
past, the Futurity Stake is a grand success. Every
mail brings further additions to the already large list,
and many are still expected from the southern portion of
the State, the washouts preventing the arrival of the
Los Angeles mail up to the time of our going to press.
Every prominent breeding establishment has sent in a
reasonable quota of nominations, and scores have sent in
as entries the produce of one and two mares. In the
next issue of the Breeder and Sportsman the full list
of entries will be given, so that all may know what
there is in the stake.

A Meeting Necessary.
Some weeks ago we called attention to the fact that it
was necessary in the near future to have a meeting of
delegates from each of the associations in the State, to
name dates for the fair season of 1890. Since the first
mention was made of the matter ssveral gentlemen have
discussed it pro and con when visiting at the Breeder
and Sportsman's office, and one and all seem anxious to
prevent the clashing that occurred last year. As is read-
ily understood, each and every association cannot have a
week all to itself, but arrargements can be made so that
there will be various circuits formed which will not in-
terfere one with another. There are now so many horses
trained annually in California that there are plenty and
to spare for all the meetings if the Directors of the same
will only arrange them properly. We should like to
hear from the Secretaries of the different associations as
to the views of their Directors, and would also like to
have suggestions made as to the most advantageous
place of meeting for the delegates. From present ap-
pearances it seems highly plausible to Buppose that there
will be at least four circuits, two in the South and two
in the North, and if due attention is paid to the fixing of
dates no trouble should be experienced in making each
of the meetings a financial success. There is no time to
waste now; the dates must be arranged very soon, and it
is to the interest of every association to take time by the
forelock and have it understood what dates each city and
town will claim. Letters bearing on this subject are
now in order and we hope to hear from every section of
the State, especially from the officers of the Agricultural
Societies.

California vs. Kentucky.

For many years the Golden State has been recognized
as the principal horse breeding State in the Union, and
it does hurt the feelings of a Kentuckian to hear peons
of praise raised in favor of California. The Eastern
journalists, to a man. declare that the particular State
in which they reside is the equal of the Pacific Coast
States when the breeding of colts is called in question,
and yet every now and again a wail goes forth from some
one of the writers that tends to show that the shoe is
pinching terribly. In a late number of the Kentucky
Stock Farm the well known "Iconoclast" says. —

"Aureliua in a late communication intimates that the Cali-
fornians trot their horses till hah' past eleven o'clock on the
night of December 31. While this is rather a strong state-
ment, it embodies the truth with substantial acouraoy. Long
after the season is past in which it is possible for Eastern
people to trot or train their horses the work of record mak-
ing and record breaking is proceeding on the Western Coast.
This gives the Paciric breeder an undue advantage over those
east of the Rockies, and enables them to obtain marks for
their horses, particularly their youngsters, long after our
trotting season is past."

Undue advantage, forsooth. You are trying un a
child's method, taking advantage of the baby act, Mr.
IconoclaBt, and it is not manly. Come out openly and
say to your readers that the climatic influences of Califor-
nia are such that Kentucky cannot hope to compete with
California in horse breeding. Say also that the rich and
succulent native grasses are bo nutralive that a yearling
in California is fully as large as a two year old raised in
Kentucky, and do not take our word for the assertion,
but ask any honest and fair-minded Kentuckian who has
visited this glorious State during the winter that is now
in progress. There is not a month in the year passes
but what some Eastern breeder visits California and car-
ries away, as the result of purchase, one or more of our
native grown foals. Can you believe it possible, Icono-
clast, that Col. Strader, W. H. Allen, Sibley & Miller
S. A. Brown, W. H. Wilsou, R. Steele, J. I. Case, Rob-
ert Bonner and other well known breeders would come
to this faraway State and buy horses if they could se-
cure what they deBired in Kentucky? No indeed; they
recognize the fact that just what they want is raised in
California, and as a consequence they come here to buy.
When the Haggin yearlings are offered for sale annually
in New York the priced realized are fur larger than for
those sent from any other Bection of the country. Whyr
Because the colts and fillies ate no superior in Bize and
hardiness that the eye of the expert is taken at once, and
the conclusion is forced upon prospective purchaser* that

there is not the same element of chance in buyiug Cali-
fornia yearlings that there is in bidding on those sent on
from Kentucky. Every breeder who \isits this State is
a walking advertisement for California, and the day is
fast approaching when breeders from the Eastern States
will endeavor to secure eligible locations in this Stale to
start stock farms, and thus enjoy the advantages which
have made the name of California known from one end
of the world to the other.

A Fight on Hand.

National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders, \
Secretary's Office, 1 Broadway, New York, Dec. 13, '89. J

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — It becomes my official
duty to notify you of the following action of this association:

Whereas. It appears that a certain agricultural paper published in
Boston, Mass., called The American Cultivator, has assumed, with-
out any authority, to administer a garbled and incorrect lonu of the
Btandard of this asBociation, and issue certificates of standard rank
thereon; and

Whereas, These irregular and unauthorized certificates have con-
ferred fictitious standard rank on many animals that are not standard,
and cannot he registered as Btandard, thus encouraging dishonesty
and inflicting a wrong upon the unwary; therefore

Resolved, That the compiler of Wallace's American Trotting Regis-
ter be requested, as the most direct means of abating these evils, to
decline to accept pedigrees from any breeder or dealer who knowing-
ly or wilfully seeks the benefit of registration under an unauthorized
and garbled standard, wherever sought to be administered.

L. D. Packub, Secretary.

A Good Pedigree.

Many years ago the name of Nathan Coombs was known of
all horsemen. His thoroughbreds were of the best, and at
various times thousands have watched his colors come under
the wire first. As time wore on, and the "Coombs Boys"
grew to manhood's estate, Frank L. and Nathan contracted a
fondness for the trotting division, and from the beginning
have endeavored to breed only the very best. Their success,
like that of many others, has been varied, bnt now they ba\e
one, that from the great producing blood lines shown, should
prove a veritable wonder. We^ive below the tabulated ped-
igree of

Silver Bow.

The stallion advertisements will from now out be a sonrce
of interest to all who own brood mares and from week to
week the announcements will be read with intense eigemess
as every one desires lo breed to the best. In the proper col-
umn this week will be found the card of P.J. Williams, an
old tnrlite, than whom there is no better judge of breeding
and form for many a mile aronnd. He has parohased the
young stallion Silver Bow, one of the highest bred trotters in
the State who comeB from speed producing lines on both the
top and bottom crosses. An examination of the pedigree will
oonvince the most skeptical. His sire Kobert McGregor, has
a host io the ' 30" lUt »nd is also the sire of Bonnie McGreg-
or 2:13^, and that surely should be recommendation enough
for those who are looking for fast stock. Silver Bow is only
three years old and Mri Williams has very wisely limited bis
service to fifteen approved niaret.: Those who are looking for
a gilt edged pedigree should not fail to examine the tabula-
tion of Silver Bow.

Mr. H. P. Rennie, of Oakland, advertises cocker spaniels
in another part of the paper. Hie dogs are of the best
breeding and are winners.

Is a mare sired by Mambrino Wilkes, 6083, dam by Chief-
tain, 721, eligible to be registered?

Answer. — Yes.

San Jose.

Chieftain is the Bire of Flora, with a record of 2:36 and
trial 2:28. She campaigned against Ajix and others; her
dam is by Wilson's Lemon. Is this the same Flora that is
accredited to Chieftain with a mark of 2:30? If so, pleaee
btate where and when she made the record, and obliee.

Answer. — The records do not show that the Flora you
allude to has a record of 2:36, but 2:3!H. The Flora accred-
ited to Chieftain is a pacer with a record of 2:30, made at San
Francisco August 29th, 1872.

What qualifications does it require for a stallion to take
a premium at a fair as a roadster, and what would bar him.

Answer. — According to the rule as laid down by the Direc-
tors of the Sute Fair Association, any carriage horse which
is not standard bred, is eligible, for a roadster premiam. Be-
ing standard bred would be a bar. However, different asso-
ciations have different rules.

Will you please tell me what Alfalfa is.

Answer.— Lucern (Medicago Sativa), a forage plant of the
family leguminosse, and related to clover (trifoliuro) not only
in its botanical characters but in its agricultural nses.
The derivation of tbe word is obscure, but it is supposed
by some to be from tbe Swiss canton of the same name; it' is
known in Spain as alfalfa, which name it bears alsj in Span-
ish American countries, and is still retained in California
aud New Mexico. The root of lucerne is perennial, from
which arise erect, smooth, branching stems, two feet or more
high; the leaves are triple, the flowers instead of being dense
head as in clover, are prect and the corolla violet purple, and
the many seeded pod spirally coiled. It was probably culti-
vated several centuries before Christ, and -came into Europe-
an agriculture through the south of France and Spain. Lu-
cern has never been mach grown in England or in the older
parts of the United States, but on the continent of Europe
and in our far Southern and Western States it is regarded
as of great value— its reputation on the Pacific Coast has led
agriculturalists at the East to experiment with it. The ex-
periments of Chancellor Livingston near the close of the list
century called the attention of farmers to lucern as a valu-
able forage plant, but our agriculture was not then sufficient-
ly advanced to make its culture profitable; it is only when
draining and improved tillage are practiced that its value is
manifest. The plant has very long roots, sometimes pene-
trating to twelve feet or more, henoe it is quite unsuited to
light, thin soil with a poor subsoil.

Did Mr. S. Whipple have in 1879 a horse called Shafter
and a mare called Harvest Qaeen? If so, can you give me
the pedigree of tbe horse Shafter? I believe that he was bred
by Mr McCracken of Consumne, Sacramento County, and
was by David Hill.

Answer. — A letter sent to Mr. J. L. McCord has been re-
plied to as follows:

Sacramento. Dec. 28, 18S9.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir:— Yoors of
the 26th duly at hand, and in reply to the horse Shafter I
don't know him by that name. He might have been named
after leaving tbe ranch. Give me his age and description
and I can tell you if any Buch horse was foaled there since
1875 as I have obtained the old Stud book that was kept by
J. G. McCracken that far back.

We have every occasion to believe that the horse you refer
to was originally called "Butte" and was owned at one time
by Judge J. McM. Shafter of this cily. He passed through
several hands and wbb finally taken to your Bection of the
country. If it is the same horse, we imagine he was by Da-
vid Hill, dam a printer mare.

Please inform me if my filly, sired by Fallis, dam by Tilton
Almont, second dam a running mare, is Btandard. If so,
what will I have to do to have her registered? What is the
best method for laying out a mile track where you have
plenty of room? Plea&e answer in your columns.

Answer. — Your tilly is standard. Send full address and we
will forward you the necessary blanks.

For a mile traok draw a line through an oblong center 440
yards in length, settiog a stake at each end. Then draw a
line on either side of the first line, exactly parallel with and
140 yards from it, Betting stakes at either eDd of them. You
wiil then have an oblong square 440 yards long and 280 yarda
wide. At each end of these three lines you will now set
stakes. Now then fasten a cord or wire 140 yards long to
the center stake of jour parallelogram, and then describe a
half circle, driving states as often as you wish to set a fence-
post. This half circle, commencing at one side and extended
to the other, will measure 440 yards. When the circle is
made at both ends of your parallelogram you will have two
straight sides that measure 440 yards each, and two circles
of exactly the flame length, which, measured three feet from
the fence, will be exactly a mile. The turns Bhould be
thrown up an inch to the foot.

Lorena and Starlight.

I had occasion a few days ago to visit Capt. Harris' stable,
corner of Turk and Steiner streets, and there I s*w twoof
my favorites, Lorena and Starlight. The former is now three
years old and the latter two, yet both of them are campaign-
ers aad earned laurtls last year. Lorena has tilled out won-
derfully and givea every promise of being as speedy as a
ghost. Only a few days ago her owner drove her half a mile
in l:08i, and the Captain feels sure that he has a coming
world beater. There is no one that will begrudge him his
luck, for he has been a persistent breeder for many years, and
it seems that at last lock has smiled on him. Starlight has
improved as much in proportion as has Lorena, and the
chestnat filly shows every indication of great speed. As
their names will appear prominently before the public this
year, I herewith give their pedigrees: —

Miss Mary Garrett, of Baltimore, Md., the millionaire
spinster, has lost a valuable blooded horse under unusual
circumstances, says the Horseman. The geldi> g was pure
white and was a favorite with his owner. He was by Ad rock
and his eraoddam waa the celebrated white Arabian mare
which William McDonald imported and which was afterward
the property of Jno. W. Garrett. The skel-ton of the Arabian
mare is mounted, and is now at Druid Hall Park. Tbe geld-
ing had been sick a short wbila with spasms. The doctors
discovered that there was no chance to save the animal and
came to the conclusion it had an abscess or tumor on tbe
brain. Miss Garrett gave the animal to Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity professors for the benefit of science. The professors
killed the horse with hypodermic injections. The autopsy
which was held by the profeBBors revealed a tumor on both
BideB of the brain. The one in the right lobe was pronounced
tbe largest ever found, and Burgeons were surprised that a
horse could live under snob circumstances.

The Valensin Stock: Farm-

As another year has rolled around, we again have to an-
nounce to our raeders that the Valensin Stud Farm stallions,
Sidney and Simmocolon are as usual to stand for the com-
ing season, for a few select mares at the farm at Pleasanton.
While the new arrival has not the reputation of the premier
stallion, still he has many frier d-s, tho-e who have seen him
in his work, and while it is hiebly probable that Sidney's
book will fill very rapidly, still there is every leason to
believe tha' Simmecolon will also hav« plenty of custom.

Mr. Valensin has tabulated the pedigree of Simm >colon so
that breeders can see at a glance what grand blood flows
through the veins of the late arrival Simmons, his sire, is
one of the most fashionable sires in Kentucky to-day, and' he
already has nine or ten in tbe 2:30 list. Simmocolon lias a
record of 2:29}, and in making that he actually walked un-
der the wire, his mark being no crit-rion of his Bpeed.
Examine the advertisement and then peltct what mares von
can spare to send to tbe Valensin Stock Farm stallions.

A Rumor Probably Founded on Fact.

Since the first of last year prominent breeders whose stock
farms are in the Eastern Stale* have been snapping up all the
stallions in California that money could bny. There is not
a horse of any note whatever but what someone has wanted
the owner to price, and it has only been by tbe use of the
emphatic NO that any of the better known are still retained
in the State. And now comes a rumor, too late for verifica-
tion this week, that Mr. Gut-rne of Santa Rosa is in negotia-
tion with parties in Kentucky for the services of Alfred G,
and also with the underslanoiog that he shalt put a purchas-
ing price on the colt. His record of 2:19f, made under the
moat adverse circumstances, stamped him as a horse of rare
sueed at the trot, and those who witnessed the performance
are fully aware that the son of Anleeo can beat his present
mark all to pieces.

The storv as it is told, is, that J. W. Knox, who took
Anteeo to Kentucky, is in negotiation for Alfred G., and that
Mr. Guerne has put tbe price at $2o,000. It seems that
parties from tbe same State are also after Redwood, 2:244, he
another sou of Anteeo, and the gossipy witch, Dame Rumor,
says it is very likely that California will lose the services of
both these colts.

Stock Farm Problems.

Care of Krone] Mares ami l'oaN.

II.
Souther Farm, San Leandro, Jan. 1, 1890.

The entire life of a colt may be changed for better or worse
by the treatment given the mare when in foal. A reasonable
amount of work is a benefit; but overwork or overdriving
robs the embiyo foal of a part of its life. At least two months
re-it should te given before the time the mare is dne to foal.

The surroundings of a pregnant mare have considerable
influence on the future of the foal. The best and strongest
ohildien c .me from happy marriages Df healthy people; and
the best colts maj reasonably be expected from well selected
mares that are well fed and sheltered. Ke p them happy, if
good care, feed, and shelter will do it, and the strength" and
vigor of the new born foals will well repay the work.

If the weather is pleasant and the nignts are not too cold a
mare may foal oat of doors as well as anywhere else; but as
mares should foal as near the first of the year as possible, and
as our beautiful winter and spring climate may be broken in
upon by storms, good shelter should be provided. Last sea-
son my brood in*res were kept in boxstalls twelve feet wide
and sixteen feet long: although these proved satisfactory, I
am now building a row of box* tails which will be sixteen feet
square, with a paddock sixteen feet wide and twenty-four
feet long to each stall. This gives plenty of room, and tbe
paddocks are good places for the colts to stay until they get
the full use of their legs, when they may be turned out if the
weather is pleasant and the feed good. Colts should be kept
on level ground for a couple of months; after that nothing
does them more good than a reisonable amooot of hill-
climbing, which hardens their legs and feet wonderfully.

Watch every mare and colt, and if either is not thriving
take them up and give extra food — bran with ground barley
or crushed oats makes fine milk food. Unless alfalfa fields
are at hand the long dry Bummer almoBt invariably telle* on
both mare and colt. When it does, put them in at night,
give mixed feed and feed again in the morning before turn-
ing out. The colt soon finds unt what the soft feed iB for,
and when weaned will take all the comfort it cm in a well
filled feed box, forgetting in short order the loss of its moth-
er's milk. This greatly reduces the chances of any set-backs
at the time of weaning, when many a good colt los s several
months of growth.

Colts must be watohed, and watched carefully and sysiems-
tically. Every colt that dies may be considered to use up ihe
amount it would sell for when grown. A stock farm does not
feel the feed and care of one colt, and the mares and stallions
must be cared for anyway. Then tbe colt that dies may be
the best one on the ranch and the one that would make bis
family famous — if he only lived. Death is thoroughly impar-
tial and comes to every farm sooner or later, but it comes the
more often to where it is invited by carelessness, poor food,
lack of shelter and general neglect.

As a friend of mine once said, there are only two satisfac-
tory ways of raising horses. One is the range, where (he
stoi-k have never know shelter, and the eolte grow np after
tbe manner of goats. This range stock is n-eful on street
<ars, butcher caits and delivery wagons, but is practically
worthless wheu safety and steadiness are required without
working to death to get these qualities. These horses sell
cheap, but can be raised at a very -mall cost, and tbe busii ess
is profitable in the right place and under good management;
bat there is very little middle ground that can safely be used
between the range system aud the good caie required to bring
up large, honest and safe track, road and family horse**.

Mares accusomed to warm stables caunot be turned loose
on rocky hills in cold and storms aud thrive, nor can they
begin to produce the colts they should and would produce, nn-
der proper care. The colt bin an aw fal lot to do with the
making of the horse — neglect its mother, neglect the foal
m the early spring and at weaning time let it rustle for a
living on goat pastures during its firtt winter and you mny
raise a Btc^nd quality street car horee if it doetn't die. No-
thing but a wonderful triumph of individnnl greatne-s ovt r
unfortunate surroundings will ever make it anything better.

Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved.
The Secretary's report was read aB follows by the Secre-
tary :

To the Delegates of the American Kennel Club— Gentle-
men:—Since my last report I have received an app icatiou
from the Continental Kennel Club of Denver, Coloiaio, for
admission to this Association. This application was duly
forwarded and received in accordance with the rule laid
down iu your Constitution, and said applicant is eligible to
membership and is hereby recommended. As this Club held
its tirst Bench Show December 5th, and has complied with
all the requirements of our rules, I would respectfully rec-
ommend the adoption of a resolution at this meeting by
which the awards made at said show shall be recognized by
the American Kennel Clib. At the last meeting of this club
the application of the Ca'ifornia Kennel Club was laid on the
table until your Secretary coul4 correspond with the Pacilic
Kennel Clou on the expediency of admitting another mem-
ber from San Francisco. Your Secretary mailed communi-
cations to both the Committee of the California Kennel Club
and the Secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club, to which he re-
ceived in due course a reply from the latter, which will be
laid before jou at this meeting.

The Brooklyn Kennel Club was promptly notified of their
rejection at our last meeting, and upon its order the does
forwarded to me with the application was returned, and the
receipt for the same is on file iu this office. The Southern
Caliluruia Kennel Club was dnlv notified of its election to
membership, and of the fact that the awards at its show held
prior to its admission would not be recognized, to which no
reply has been received from any of its offictrr1, but under
date of Dec.-m1 er 6th President Belmont, Jr., forwarded me
a communica.ion from Mr. J. B. Martin of San Francisco,
an exhibitor at said show, asking this rlub to reconsider its
action, so far aB the recognition of the awards 1b concerned,
upon the ground that as the show was advertised to be held
under A. K. C. rules, many entries were made by exhibitors
from a great distance, expecting that wins would count, and
that the action of this cub is a hardship to innocent parties.
And further, such action on the part of the American Ken-
nel Club would encourage and assist dog shows on the Pa-
cific Coast. This matter is now before you for further action
it you deem it advisable. The special committee on the "re-
visioo of the roles," appointed at the list meeting, completed
its lubore and pab.ished its report and recommendations in
toe November Gazette. In this connection I would adviBe
you that Mr James L. Anthony was appointed on said com-
mittee in t^ie place of Mr. F. R. Hitchcock, who resigned on
account of absence from the city. A communication from
the German Mastiff or Great Dane Club of America, submits
a copy of its Rnle '2d as follows: "This Club adopts the
Standard of points and the sc*le of measurements as approved
September 4 1S89, as the correct standard a-jd scale of poiuts
for judging in this country, and this club will not, through
its membership, exhibit German Mastiff, or Great Dane dogs
at bench shows, unless they are to be judged by standard
points and scale of values as adopted by thiB club." The
German Mastiff or Great Dane Club requests the American
Kennel Club-to take action in this matter. The members feel
thit their standard is correct, and in order to make it effect-
ive in this country would respectfully ask this club to adopt
the same for the judgiDg nf this breed of dogs at all shows
held by members of the American Kennel Club. I have re-
ceived from Dr. J. Frank Perry notice of proposed amend-
ments to Article IV of the Constitution, and published same
in the November issue of the American Kennel Gazette. It
will be submitted for your action at this meeting. Charges
have been preferred by Mr. Lorenzo Daniels against Mr. Wil-
liam Graham in the matter ot the St. Bernard dog Visp II.
Mr. Daniels claims that Mr. Graham misrepresented the dog,
and owing to suoh misrepresentation said Daniels was put to
an expense that should in his opinion be paid by Graham.
In a letter following Baid charges Daniels Btates lhat he can
produce witnesses to testify to the above mentioned misrep-
resentation. I also received a letter from Mr. Grah»m re-
questing the return of all papers deposited in this office as
part of the testimony in a previous case between these gen-
tlemen respectiug the dog Visp II. This correspondence
will be submitted to you at thiB nieeliog. Under the provi-
sion of Article XVIII of the Constitution, the annual dues of
active members mast be paid at or before January 1st of each
year, under penalty of foifeitnreof all right to representation
in this club; and such delinquents may be suspended or
dropped from the roll., I would respectfully request this
meeting to adopt a resolution delegating the power to the
Advisory Cum wit tee tu suspend or drop suoh clubs as may
be iu arrears on January 2d next, if in the judgment of said
committee it should be deemed proper. Your Secretary
would recommend and urge tho adoption of a resolution at
this meeting, whereby the Americau Kennel Club shall do-
nate at each show held by i's members in the year ISMO a
special prize, consisting of a complete set of the Stud hooka, to
be competed for by members of tho Specialty Clubs that are
members in good standing of the Americun Kennel Club,
and to be given to the best kennel of four owned by one ex-
hibitor. The choice of club, to which this special Bhall be
first awarded, to be determined by its date of membership
n the American KeDnel Club; that is, the oldest specialty
member to compete at the first bench show of 1890, and as
i. he shows progress the special to be designated according to
f'enioriry of m&oobei-.biy.

As Treasurer oi thi« i Lob, I would pay that I could see no

oijd rea&ou why I should depart from my usual ocslocu in

fc&entiug the Treasurer's report and will submit the ueual

iie, ■•■ iu .' the groBQ amounts received and disbursed and

the balance on hand, but would ask the adoption of a resolu-
tion at this meeting, directing the publication of a detailed
financial statement of the club for the year endiog December
31, 18S9, and to appear in the Kennel Gazette of January,
1890. Iu conclasion. I have to advise you that I am just in
receipt of the resignation of the Fort Schnylrr Kennel Club
of Uttca, N. Y., which will be submitted to you for action.
Anl by the same mail I received the application of the Du-
queane Kennel Club of Pittsburg, Pa., for admission as an
active member. The application inclosed the necessary pa-
pers and annual dues in proper form, and the club is eligible
to membership. As this application did not reach me until
5 o'clock this day, that portion of the rnle reqoiring it to be
filed at this office at least ten days previous to eleclion has
not been complied with. I submit this application with the
above remarks. Respectfully submitted,

A. P. Vredenburuh, Secretary.

Adopted.

The Treasure rs's report was read as follows:

New York, December 18, 18S9.

The Treasurer begs to report as follows:

Receipts from alt sources from January 11th to date ?7 C49 41

Expenses for same period 6,482 30

Balance on hand .51,167.11

Respectfully submitted,

A. P. Yredhn burgh, Treasurer.

Adopted.

Mr. Anthony — In connection with the recommendation
made by the Secretary, I would like to offer, it it is in order
at the present time, before any other business is proceeded
with, the resolution that he has embodied in his report,
namely, that he be required to prepare and publish in the
January Gazette, a detailed statement of the financial condi-
tion of ibis clnb, and of every account upon hia book show-
ing exactly the sources of revenue derived and the expendi-
tures, on account not only of the club, but the S'ud Book
and all other accounts that the Secretary and Treasurer has
charge of I since reh hope the resolution will prevail,
because we desire the publicand every delegate here to know
exactly what has been done this year. I am at liberty to say
to you, beciuee I h*ve examined the accounts, that after the
items have been cbarged to their proper account, there is
shown a surplus, a thi g that I do not believe has been
accomplished before by any club under similar circum-
stances.

The report of the Advisory Committee was read and
adopted, and is as follows:

MEETING ADVISORY COMMITTEE, DECEMBER 19, 18S9.

Present: T. H. Terry, Dr J. F. Perry, J. L. Anthony.
Absent: A Belmont, Jr.. J. S. Wise.

Meeting called to order at H o'clock. Mr. Terry in the
chair.

In the matter of American Pet-Dog Club, the Secretary
having advised us that at a meeting of said club, it was voted
to abolish the entire liBt of dogs as now designated as Pet
Dogs in their list. On motion said club was recommended
for election.

In the matter of the non-payment of the prizes by the
Albany Kennel Club, the Secretary was ordered to suspend
said club, and to notify the officers that if the several amounts
now due exhibitors are not paid within 30 days, that the
penalty under Rule 28 will be enforced.

In the matter of the charge made by Andrew JDaidlaw
against H. P. Rennie, the society waB ordered to notify said
Rennie, that if proper explanation or defense be not made or
the matter satisfactorily adjusted between the complainant
aDd defendant within 60 days, the prayer of the petitioner
will be granted.

In the matter of the appeal of Jas. Watson against the
action of the Rochester Kennel Club in not allowing the pro-
test against the entry of the collie Metcbley Surprise in the
challenge class, was laid over until such time as Mr. Watson
produces evidence to sustain his appeal.

In the matter of Mr. Huntington's resolution asking the
A. K. C. to pay the travelling expense s of their associate
delegates to and from meetings, it was resolve 1 that said reso-
lution be referred back to the full ex committee of the A. K.
C, to be acted upon by them.

The following resolotion was offered and adopted:

Whereas evidence has been received from Mr. Wm. Gra
ham, informing this club that Mr. L. Daniels has failed to
pay the amount due said Graham as per decision of this
committee of June 10, 1889 amounting to §50.10.

Resolved, that Mr. Lorenzo Daniels be and hereby is sus^
pended. That he be given 60 days within which to pa}' the
award as made by this committee to Mr. Graham; that if
said award be not paid and evidence of said payment is not
furnished this committee on or before the expiration of said
60 days, said Daniels shall be disqualified.

(Signed) T. H. Terry.

J. Frank Perry.

Adopted. J, L. Anthony.

The application of the California Kennel Club, which was
laid over at the September meeting until advices were re-
ceived from the Pacific Kennel Club, if in their judgment it
would be advisable to admit two clubs from the same city,
was submitted. The Secretary read a communication from
the Pacific Kennel Club in reply to his communication on the
subject, in which it was stated that there being a plan now on
foot to consolidate the said California Kennel Club with the
Pacific Kennel Club, in the opinion of the members of said
Pacific Kennel Club it was deemed that it would be to the
best interests of both the American Kennel Club and the
doggy matters on the Pacific Coast to delay aclion on the ap-
plication of the California Kennel Club, until further notice.
On motion said application was laid over for future action,
pending advices from the Pacific Kennel Club.

President Belmont Jr. arrived and took the chair.

The report of the Special Committee on Rules was made,
and the matter laid on the table for a subsequent action.

Applications from the American Pet Dog Club aud the
Continental Kennel Club were read by the Secretary, and on
motion, both clnbs were admitted to membership in the
American Kennel Club, and on motion the awards of the
show held by the Continental KeDnel Club on December 5th,
were recognized.

A commuuicaliuu was read from an exhibitor requesting a
reconsideration of the aotion taken at the last meeting in the
matter of not recognizing wids at the Southern California
Kennel Club Show.

Major Taylor moved to recouaider snoh action.

Motion lost.

The Secretary then read a communication by Mr. Lorenzo
Daniels, preferring charges against Mr. William Graham, in
regard to the St. Bernard dog Visp II "

. Mr. Daniel* claiming
that Mr. Graham misrepresented the dog, and owing to such

misrepresentation, he (Daniels) was put to considerable ex- Del Gazette and Stud Book for one year ana to two "free 'ree
pense. t istrations in the Stud Book.

On motion of Mr. Anthony the communication of Mr.
Daniels was laid on the table.
The followiog resolutioo by Dr. Perry was adopted:
Resolved, That attested copies be made of all documentary
evidence furnished by William Graham in the case of Loren-
zo Daniels, and the original le returned '.o him, as he has re-
quested.

A communication was read from the Great Dane Club, the
Secretary stating that they had furnished a copy of their
standard and scale of points adopted by that club, and also a
copy of their rules, and that thty requested the American
Kennel Club to recognize lhat standard at their show.

Mr. MussArnolt: I off>r a leBolution that only dogs
which shall conform to the standard of the Great Dane Club
shall be registered iu the Stud Book, regardless of pedigree.
Motion !••(.

The request of the Great Dane Club for the American Ken-
nel Club to enforce their standard was refused.

The Secretary called attention to the resolution offered at
tbe last meeting by Mr. Huntington in regard to the Ameri-
can Kennel Club paying the traveling expenses of the asso-
ciate delegates, which resolution was referred to the Advisory
Committee. The Secretary stated lhat that committee had
decided to refer the matter back to the Executive Committee,
refering that they should act upon the matter.

Mr. Anthony : It seems to me it would be proper for the
Secretary to be instructed to make an appropriation of $100
per annum from money received from the associate members,
which amount should be used to pay the expenses of the
delegates coming here to attend any meeting on business, and
I make a motion to that effect.
Motion seconded and carried.

'Ihe President: I think I shall have to leave yon shortly,
but before I go I should like to bringup a subject that s*ems
to me of some importance. The Kennel Gazette is published
under the auspices of the American K'nnel Cluh, but its
officers are responsible for it, and tbe '.form and the matter
has been in a great measure left to their discretion, and they
have acted as best they could. There has been some criti-
cism made with respect to the editorials in the Gazette, and
that criticism was of Buch a nature that I thought it best at
the time to shoulder the blame personally, so as to put a stop
to it, and then refer the matter to you, and ascertain whether
in yonr judgment, it was best to eliminate that feature from
the G -zette entirely, or continue it. If you look at tbe edi-
torials I think you will find that they have never referred to
any Bnbject which did n°t concern the American Kenntl
Club itself, and I personally have felt that the Gazette ought
at times to speak for the American Kennel Club. The Advi-
sory Committee through its meetings, feels the pulse con-
stantly of what is going on, and there are attacks made upon
the club, or misinterpretations appear in the public print
which the breeder and exhibitor desires to have cleared up.
I do Dot see why it should he necessary for the Secretary or
the President, ir for any officer of the Kennel Club to go iu
print over his own signature in the way of sporting papers.
If the subject is to be treated from a club point of view, I
don't see why it Bhould not be treated in the Gazette. If
other official organs speak for their organizations, I do not
see why the Gazette shouid rot. It need not be personal. I
don't think any case was personal, although it seems to have
been taken so No names were used. The principle only
was treated of, and I should like to ask the delegates for ac-
tion on the subject. It has Dot been brought up before the
Advisory Committee at all. The subject was discussed by
letter to a certain extent, with the members of the Advisory
Committee, and also talked over, and some were in favor of
continuing the editorials, and others were not: but it waB
never settled, and really it was not in the province of the
Advisory Committee to settle that question. Inasmuch as
the matter has been made the subject of discussion, I should
like to ask your action on the question, and if you will allow
the matter to come up now so I can retire, I shall be obliged
to you.

Maj. Taylor— I move, iD order to get the views of the dele-
gates here, that the action in this request in the pa6t be
approved, and continued in the same line.
Motion carried.

At this poiDt Mr. Terry takes the Chair on the departure of
Mr. Belmont.

Mr. Anthony — I move that tbe Treasurer he requested to
make an itemized statement to be published in the January
Gazette, showing the receipts and disbursements from all
sources, and also showing tbe amount of credit on each
nccount, tbe sources from which the revenue was derived —
in other words, a complete itemized account, so that anybody
who is familiar with figures can take it and see how we stand.
Mr. Watson thought before beiog published, the account
should be carefully examined and verified.

The Secretary suggested that he should make oat his state-
ment for the year 1889 for publication, and that the Chair
appoint a committee who would endorse on the bottom of his
account that they had examined his accounts and found
them correct, as stated.

Mr. Anthony — In order to comply with the suggestions
made by Mr. Watson and Mr. Vredenburgh, I will add to my
motion, that before publication, an auditing committee con-
sisting of Messrs. A. C. Wilmerding, Major Taylor and F. B.
Fay be appelated to audit the accounts. I name these gen-
tlemen because they are ex-officio, and I ask that they be
appointed to audit the accounts and to state whethfr they
are correct, whether they have been correctly kept, etc.
Motion carried.

A oummuaioatiou was read from the Fort Schuyler Kennel
Club, tendering their resignation from the American Kenntl
Club.
On motion the resignation was aocepted.
The Secretary called attention to the recommendation con-
tained in his report in regard to the matter of special prizes
to be competed for by members of specialty clubs, and on
motioo of Mr. Anthony, his recommendation was adopted.

The Beoeh Show rules, as published in the Gazette, were
then read and slightly amended, and on motion adopted.
The following amendment to the Constitution was adopted:
That all articles of the Constitution, and ail rules and regu-
lations affecting "associate membeis or leferring thereto, be
cancelled, and that Article IV. of the Constitution read as
follows:

ARTICLE IV i

Girls' Dogs.

One of our popular novelists writes up her heroine, a slender
sylph of the Big Smoky country, as having for a companion
and friend a large, gannt, yellow dog with knobs for joints
and a decided stamp of inferiority in his hulking movements.

This fair young girl, 'loves Watch kin behave tz much
like folks ez any dog kin," and she pleats his scraggy, yellow
ears with as much pride as if he were of nobler blood, while
another girl, trim, tailor-made, esthetic, cultured, is pictured
in a farther part of the sunny South as tripping forth for her
daily walk with two s'eek, perfectly-proportioned mastiffs
bounding at her side. It may be the B g Smokytgirl Joves
Watch with that feminine sympathy women so often mistake
for the nobler fire. It may be she woold have a preference
for him right under the veiy noses of the high-bred mastiffs
were they her- to have and to hold, but depend upon it,
when you find a girl owning and caressing a mongrel cur of
low degree, there is something soft in that girl's head as well
as in her heart, for our girls are looking dogward these days
with the eyes of connoisseurs .

They pity the abused and neglected, but when it comes to
the point of possession, they are far more critical than boys
rejecting the "poor man's dog" and preferring the animal of
fine pedigree, beautiful parts and superior intelligence.

Boys are flattered by a dog's devotion, while their sisters
lov<- the beautiful and talented in dogs. It may be much af-
ter the same fashion that they will make any sacrifice for hus-
bands they can be proud of, and who will serve to make the
"other girls" envious.

Our grandmothers, those dear old ladies whose manners
and customs are so oft6n held up as a lasting reproach to us,
gave their allegiance to lap dogs, insignificant little creatures
that knew nothing above dainty bits to eat and an em-
broidered blanket to keep out the cold.

Is it not a sign of a stronger generation of women that
those little dogs are no longer carried about in the pocket,
fondled on the best sofa, or led through the streets by a
string, but that the noble Newfoundlands, the colossal mas-
tiffs or the graceful hounds have become the pets of the
ladies?

Our own Matilda Lotz did not scorn to have herself photo-
graphed with her huge St. Bernard, and one of her best
pictures is the painting of Offenbach's dogs.

An intelligent girl can judge correctly of the merits of any
work of art and she ought to know how to tell a fine horse or
a talented dog when she sees it, for truly do they bear the
impress of the Divine hand

It is an exploded idea that it is vnlgar for a woman to
know a spaniel from a poodle, or a pug from a pointer. A
woman who does, need not be a hoyden nor what is objec-
tionably called "fast/* All our finer judgments are the out-
growth of training.

Then train the girls to know a blooded dog when they see
it. Take them to the dog shows, what harm? You take them
to see the ballet, do you not?

Only let me beseech you, my dear brethren, to change the
name. The man, woman or child who can invent and suc-
ceed in fastening upon not only the dog show, but the dog
himself a new name shall be worthy a place in history, and
some day, perhaps, a corner in Westminster Abbey, for
despite our revered Shakespeare's flouting, there is much in
a name, especially when it comes fraught with ugly tradi-
tion, and you know toe dog is spoken of, in both the old
and new testaments with abhorrence, being rankedamong the

unclean beasts, and the Mohammedam could not apply a
more opprobrious epithet than "dog," "car" or "hound."

Let us annihilate the care, which alas! make up the major-
ity of the canine population and are responsible for the spread
of hydrophobia, and fill their places with beautiful dogs for
which ptode will be willing to nay, instead of regarding
each new dog as an additional burden to the family, being
unwilling to receive him even as a gift.

Were dogs fewer and more precious, how many a boyish
heart would be spared the anguish of "drowning the pup-
pies."

When ladies become properly interested in the proper
kinds of dogs, there will be less barbarous treatment of ears
and tails, which practice ia not only inhuman, but often
injurious. Dogs are often made deaf from having the ears
cropped in faociful shapes. A lady in a natty little cart,
drawn by a fine dog, whose pleasure in her service is plainly
to be seen, is one of the alluring pictures which we hope will
soon materialize into a pleasing reality.

Dogs have held their own in history. Alexander the Great
built a city in honor of a dog. Emperor Hadrian buried a
dog with imposing and solemn rites. Pythagoras caused a
dog to be held to ihe mouths of the dying, saying, as a depart-
ing hnman soul most enter into some animal, a dog was the
mt-st wortby to receive it and to perpetuate its virtues.

Pliny wrote of people in Afiiui who elected a dog as their
king, and were governed entirely by motions of his body
which they interpreted by signs. Jb'ancy being ruled by the
wag of a dog's tail!

The favorite lap-dog of Mary Queen of Scots accompanied
her to the scaffold, and continued to caress the body
after the head had been cutoff. The poor little creature
died of grief a few days afterward.

faithful dog found after three months, worn almost to a skel-

One of the cleverest schemes for defeating the aims of the
Pound took form in Virginia City, Nev., not long since. The
arm of the law in a spasmodic attack of attention to duty,
gathered the untagged dogs together in a large shed, or rather
he paid the enterprising small boy (not of the county treas-
ury) thirty-five cents per head tor victims. When dogs
became scarce on the streets, one youth let down a neatly
sawed panel from the back of the shed, coaxed out and
secured half a dozen of the poor, half-Btarved beasts with bits
of meat, and promptly sent them around to the front by his
"pardner," to be sold to the dozing official. The plan re-
peated at judicious intervals robbed Peter but paid Paul
quite handsomely. Miss Kelly.

The Gopher Hole Dog.

Those who have had experience in sending out dogs for
training, may recall a dozen form of weakness in their ani-
mals, as stated by breakers, but it has been left for Mr Ned
Bosqni, of this city, to discover an erroneous impression in
a dog returned as yard broken, which differs materially from
any recorded hitherto. The dog had been eleven montliB in
the hands of a trainer, and was then handed over to Mr.
Bosqui at the trainer's instance as yard broken, ani t roken
to the gnn within the meaning of the terms "yard" and
"broken" as ordinarily construed. Mr. Bosqui was very
proud of his pointer, a handsome white and lemon, of rare
breeding, and fine form, and soon after receiving the animal
took it out to show hisfriends, Mr. Will Kittleand Harry Gol-
cher, how elegantly the beast could perform. It ranged tastily
over alot of ground, flushed as manybirdsas anyplog, and fi-
nally exhausted the patience of the owner, who shot at one of
the birds flushed by the dog. The high-headed, free-stemed
thing of beauty, wee transformed in an instant to an apolo-
getic, sneaky, slinking caricature of pointer style, which
speed-ad lise a ghost until it was hidden by cover. The own-
er strolled in that direction a little way, failed to discover
his dog snd was about to give up the search, when Mr. Kitlle
called his attention to something which looked 1 k*3 a dog's
tail projecting from the earth a short distance away. Closer
examination showed that Mr. Boeqni's fine pointer, in his
eagerness to get away from thegnn, bad attempted togo down
a gopher hole. The dog was soothed and encouraged and at
last ranged freely until Mr. Bosqui again discharged hiB gun,
when the gopher hole was again sought and no art could in-
duce the dog to leave his shelter.

he had to describe the absurd judging at the Central Field
Trials he did so in fervid terms, but Major Hammond damns
the judges beyond redemption in this fashion:

"This was the last heat of the preliminary series, and the
judges, in selecting the dogs to remain in, performed their du-
ties in a praiseworthy manner, keeping in some that had
shown considerable merit."

BILLTARDS.

Frank Ives does not believe he has been treated right by
Frank Maggioli, who is now in Chicago, because the latter
has seen fit to challenge him for a contest for the light weight
medal which Carter won in the tournament held at the Madi-
son Street Theater last fall, at baiklino billiards, and which
was forfeited to Ives by Carter. Ives claims that Maggioli
challenged him at a time when he (Ives) has entered in
two tournaments at balkline billiards, and has posted a for-
feit of $500 to play in both New York and Chicago, with $7,-
500 in sight in prize money, and that he is now called upon
by Maggioli to play for $250 a side at fourteen inch balkline
billiards, and on an entirely different cushion than the one
on which the two big tournaments are to be played. Ives
further states he is so sore he can beat Maggioli that he will
play a match with bim within two weeks after he has played
in the Chicago tournament, and that be will concede Mnggiolt
200 in 1,000 points up at eight inch balkline billiards for any
part of $2,500 a side.

A correspondent of a contemporary, referring to the com-
ing tournaments and the difficulty with the experts, writes as
follows: "Professional billiard experts are essentially as
thankless as they are ungrateful. They are selfish, jealous
and vindictive, integrity and honor rarely, if ever, p]»y any
part in their professional !ifp, and the story of woe is written
on every billiard manufacturing firm that has ever depended
on their friendship and sincerity." Whew!

Harvey MoKeuna, the phenomenal Western billiard nlayfr,
died at' the New York Hospital three weeks ago of consump-
tion. Mr. McKenna was "only 27 years old, but had already
made a name for himself as a player of extraordinary ability.

THE_GIJN,

Taxing Deer.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Last week the Exam-
iner published an absurd paragraph to the effect that, in vio-
lation of the Game law, at a butcher's shop on Market street,
was the carcass of a deer dressed for the market and on sale;
and that the deer was killed in Sonoma Country, not in vio-
lation of the law, but that it had been supplied by a man liv-
ing in Sonoma who had authorityof law for the out-of-season
killing. It was thuB: This man, every year, in giving in
his assessment to the County Assesser, made statement to the
ownership of "seventeen bead of deer." The particulars as
to where the deer were to be found were mentioned. The
Assessor did not exact statement of locality. The man made
no exact statement. All be claimed was that every year he
returned statement of "seventeen head of deer" in his annual
assessment, and paid thereupon— privileged, of course, to
kill his deer, as he might see tit to kill his chiokens or his
turkeys at any time of year.

I have remarked that the story v,as absurd, but this is not
quite enough. It is worse, and in a measure scandalous.
The County Assessor 1b involved. To do that which is im-
puted in the paragraph on the part of that officer, would
cause him to be regarded by any who do not know him as an
incompetent in office.

William Lougmore is County Assessor of Sonoma. He
Loss^sses the qualifications for office set forth by ThomaB
Jefferson— he is honest; he is competent. He has the re-
spect and cmlidence of every citizen of Sonoma, without re-
gard to differeoce ot opinion on political matters. Hfl is a
faithful public servant, an estimable citizen. Assessor Long-
more has not, in his term of office, accepted the assessment
of deer, nor have any of his deputies in office done so. The
proposition is too preposterous for consideration. Only the
gullible will give credence to the story in the Examiner; but
as it is the unexpected which always happens, it seems to
be, now* days, the gullible who make up a considerable sum
of public sentimeat. It is against the tendency of this sort
of public sentiment that this communication is directed.

As to the game law this; — No pet deer are owned in So-
noma County, in defiance of the law. Assessor Longmore is
a faithful steward of his official duties and a strict observer
of the laws in protection of game, and io Sonoma ''the goose
hangB nigh" in the season. One of Old Sonoma.

Payne Shafter's Idea.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— We have had rain,
rain, rain, until the reign of King Pluvius has been com-
plete. Swollen streams, sodden plowed lands, slides on the
county roads, all attest the fury of the storms. The baud of
man is stayed; when the storm king rides the blast, he sits
by his tire place, spe>ulates and wonders at the fury of the
storm, or airs his opinions

is a rule, with the first he*vy rains, salmon run up the
streams to sptwu. B jys aod man with guns and Bpears
patrol the banks, and what few eggs the salmon "deposit in
the bank" they do on the sly; in the shades of nigbt or very
early in the morning. Coons, four-footed, patrol tbe stre nig
by nigbt for the eggs which they dearly love. Kiug-h'shers
and craaes watch tueir chance to destroy the germs of com-
mencing tisb, and altogether they {the fish) have a hard time.
Never have ooons, foxes, wild-eats and coyotes been so abun-
dant as now. Why ? I will tell you.

The Ameiican pioneer has moved farther away from settle-
ments or grown old, like bis pack of hoaudB. The demands
of his family keep him bnsy to earn the fulfillment of prayer,
this day onr daily bread. On Point Reyes, u^-xt the ocean,
hardly a hare or quail is left by the ravages of the coyote
The canning bandits often attack and kill fre-ihlyborn calves.
Now what will the result be so near San Francisco from tbe
dt-pradttions of men aid wild animals. Bo h of these are
after fjod animals. The average huoter from the city has no
time nor inclination to bunt bear, panther, wild-cats, foxes
and coons; he wants roast duck, broiled quail, snipe, etc; so
do tbe predatory w Id animals. Result in a few years with-
out fearless, wise protection, no ginie birds, nor fish for the
true spirtsmin who. out of what he earns, ia willing to put
up a reasonable amount to protect tbe wild game which gives

We are all cbiHrentf the giant Aniens. We belong to
mother eartb, and must for health and strength of mind and
holy, leave the ease, surfeit and confinement of the great
cities for the green fields, the ozone, oxygen, plain, whole-
some food and early hours uf the country. The freedom of
America, the cry against restriction is all rot (excuse the
expression) (ne plus ultra).

Liberty is noi license, but the right to do as anyone chooses
so loDg as he does not infringe on the rights of anyone else.
Look at the Golden Gate Park (San Francisco). It is for the
free enjoyment of the public. How Iree? Why so free as to
keep and preserve it and its possessions for tbe use, not
abuse, of all mankind. You may not drive very fast in the
park; you must not pull flowers, nor drive upon the grass;
you may not shoot the deer, quail, nor other wild animals;
and still this park is for the free use of the people. Take tbe
police away and let the dear people, "without restriction,"
have tbe free use of the park, and Sodom aud Gomorrah
would be a paradise compared with these results. Self con-
trol makes good and great men and women, and wise protec-
tion fosters all our industries, preserves our animal life, aud
in truth, makes us a nation. P. J, Sh after.

Introduction of European Game-

I plead guilty to being a crank on at least one subject, viz.,
the introduction of foreign game. It seems to me that tbe
New England States are neglecting so long, what must surely
come to pass in time — the importation of hardy non-migra-
tory birds and beasts, says a correspondent, writiog to an
exchange. And why should we not cull the cream from
every land, so far as the circumstances of the case will per-
mit? Is not Europe indebted to America for one of the
most delicious birds that fly, the turkey? True, as we see
the Thanksgiving gobbler strutting around the barnyard
shortly before his untimely decease, we realize that now,
however imposing in his splendor, he is. in many sections,
no longer a eame bird. Nevertheless, he was a very worthy
gift from the New West to the Old East, and merits a return
in kind.

The peculiarities of our climate, with its sudden and sav-
age changes from balmy Bpringlike weather to a temperature
that makes the benumbed brain think almost impatiently of
the practical advantages of Tophet as a winter retreat, ren-
ders the introduction of only the moBt hardy game desirable.
Giving due weight to these considerations, I have narrowed
the list of possible additions to our faunB, to the following
animals and game birds: Beasts— wild boar, fallow deer, roe
deer. Birds— oapercalie, black game, partridge, ditto red leg,
hBzel hen, willow grouse, pheasant. ThiB is but a small
list, but what an increase it would make to our scanty total
of non -migratory game.

We have now in New England practically the deer, ruffed
grouse, American hare and fox. If we could double our
available quadrupeds and increase the varieties of birds at
present existing eight times, it would surely be a noble re-
sult. All these creatures are non-migratorv, except that
they, following the promptings of instinct, shift their ground
a little with the seasons, seeking shelter and food adapted to
the time of year, but to no greater extent than do our indigi-
Don.s deer and groase.

I shall briefly consider in turn the claims of each of the
above enumerated heists and birds to American citizenship,
beginning with the fallow deer.

the fallow deer — (Cervus dama.)

In olden days, when Robin Hood and his "nierrie men"
were making free with the deer in the royal forest of Sher-
wood, their game was the fallow buck. It was undoubtedly
once a Hue game animal, although at present, owing to con-
finement in paddocks and parks of limited area, it is hardly
considered as such in England to-day. But I would risk a
small sum that once this deer was acclimatized in New Eng-
land, with scope to run, and increase, and multiply, he
would become the sport-furnishing animal his ancestors were
in the days of Cedric the Saxon.

In weight the buoks run from 100 lbs. to 120 lbs., although
one was killed at Eastwell in Kent, in 1863, that tipped the
beam at 176 lbs This was, however, an extraordinary weight.
In Europe a fallow deer to one acre of rich grass land is con-
sidered a correct allowance, provided no sheep are permitted
upon the same ground. Horses and cattle do little harm, as
they feed on the coarser herbage rejected by the deer.

Io stocking a ground a proportion of one th:rd bucks and
two-thirds does has proved satisfactory when tried. The lay
of tbe land must be c irefully considered, as upon it the suc-
cesB of the effort will hinge. Shelter is necessary, even in
England, hence it is hardly likely the deer would succeed
north of Bpston or away from the tea. Further south, say
about the lattiude of Maryland and Virginia, the climate
would appear admirably adapted to the habits of the fallow
deer.

Outside of the natural food produced by the ground the
deer iuhabit, it is well in hard weather to provide them with
some extra food (this is supposing there is a very large stock
for the size of the ground), and of artificial foods, bay is tbe
best, say three tons Io 100 deer per winter, and, after bay,
the branches of deciduous trees cut down in the summer and
dried with the leaves on like hay, and stacked io the forest,
makes an excellent and cheap winter feed. It has been found
best to surround each rick with a deer proof fence, whioh
can be removed when the season has arrived to give artificial
food.

"Cry" doeB are in season from November 1st to February
1st, and the bucks from July 15th to October 1st; hence it
can be seen how the importation of thia deer would extend
the legal period for the ubo of the rifle.

The doe brines forth her young in tbe month of June, and
in two days they can follow her about. The bucks lose
their horns in April and run in October. The fallow buck
never exceeds 20 years of age, and rarely lives as long unless
carefully fed and sheltered in a paddock. The venison is
delicious, as I can state from personal experience, having in
years gone by, through the kindness of the "ranger", often
partaken of a haunch from the royal herd that graze round
Hampton Court Palace

It will be found that this deer will succeed best in a broken
country, variety of surface being necessary. Wood and old
pastures should Bucceed one another on a typical fallow deer
range. Make it a rule never to kill a deer that is under six
years of age, nor to allow them to live much after nine years
if good venison is desired. New blood is requisite every few
years in a closely preserved herd, but would probably not be
required under the conditions that exist in this country.

The habit of this deer is to oease feeding about 11 a.m.
and lie down in the open. About 5 o'clock P. m. they resume
feeding, and feed all night long.

The fallow deer are gregarious, but the bucks and does
keep apart except during the pairing season, and during cold
weather when they assemble promiscuously.

It is stated by good authority that when the teams of ex-
perts that are to tour the country reach San Francisco,
Messrs. Budd and Stice will shoot a match at 35 live birds
each, aud Messrs. McMurchy and Heikes at 25 birds tach-
The first of the inter-team matches will be shot at Dayton,
Ohio, on Januarj 27th.

The most pleasurable moments vouchsaf' d to us are those
passed in listening to tales of sport iu earlier days, from tbe
lips of Buch vivid narrators as our friend Mr. John K. Orr,
and men of like tastes.

The other day while Mr. Orr was sitting in our office, the
name of Mr. C. 8. ScheDck was mentioned, and with the
mention of the "Bjs»," Mr. Orr's face lighted np and he
said: -'Mention of that finest of shots and most thorough
of sportsmen brings to mind a day we spent together when
three hundred sharp-tailed grouse were bapged. It was in
1S66, when on a visit to Portland, Oregon, that myself and
"Boss" were invited out to the Dalles for a day's spoit. We
went and found the rest of the party ready, Messrs. Will
Bradford, George Naggs, Frank Dodge, Lawrence E. Cue,
Victor Trevet aud Mr. Buchanan. Starting early one day in
August, we drove out to Thirteen Mile Creek, and Frank

Dodge, "Boss" Schenck and I were put down about three
milei from Modes House, where we were to camp.

We shot along the creek lined by willows, and when we
reached the house had about a hundred of the sharp-tails. I
was using a little 13-bore Westley Richard muzzle loader,
three drams of powder, and an ounce of sixts. With that
outfit I scored forty seven grouse in fifty-one shots. Next
day five of the party began Bhooting at early dawn aud at
three o'clock returned to camp and counted heads, the score
being three hundred and twelve grouse, all fine fat birds.

The plan was for half of the party to walk along each side
of a willow-lined creek and take the birds as they flushed
from the trees or. from corn stalks standing alorg the fields
on either side.

The grouse would break cover with a rush that waB em-
barrassing, but were easy markB after a few had been knocked
over. In those diys "Boss" Schenck bad no equal on the
Pacific Coast as a shot unless it was Tom Estey, of Nicasio.

As the birds were killed they were drawn, stuffed with dry
grass and hung to tbe willows, to be gathered by the wagon
later in the day. In the afternoon on returning to camp a
royal dinner was prepared, Mr. Coe furnishing a pan of crisp
brook trout, which together with unlimited baked grouse,
and such little tumblers of something as "Bosb" Schenck is
famous for, made mere existence a delight.

After dinner the grouse were feBtooned about the wagon in
half dozens, and when the Dalles were reached a large por-
tion were distributed to acquaintances, the remainder going
to friends in Portland. The grouse could then be found iu
p-icks of two or three hundreds, but now one Is lucky if on
that ground a day's tramping returns a dozen birds."

Duck shooters might as well clean up their guns and Blow
them away for the season. The rain it raineth every day
and the duck disperseth so variously that the man who en-
compasses more than a half dozen in a day is thereby
marked as of rare ability.

The additions recently made to Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher
& Co.'s store-rooms at 630-632 Montgomery Street, city, have
placed the firm in a most advantageous position, both as to
carrying moreased and more varied stock, and as to handling
their very large and rapidly increasing trade. Tbe latest
feature of the store is a miniature gymnasium, fitted to show
the exhaustive line of athletic ajspliances earned by the
house. The idea is a brilliant one, and the room affords
interesting study. The new lines of fishing ta-kle just begin-
ing to come, are of such superb quality as even the Golcher's,
for years the best tackle purveyors in America, have not had
in other years. In fine gut and trout flies particularly, there
is so much to be seen that hours do not suffice to exhaust
interest.

The gun material of the firm remains at the high stand-
ard fixed many years ago by Mr. Clabrough and that prince of
gun makers, William Golcher, now at rest.

On January 18th and 19tb. at Traver, Tulare County, there
will be held a real old-time shooting tournament. Live bird
shooting, rifle shooting, bow and arrow shooting and every-
thing else is to go. The time is just that at which the field
trial men will be travelling toward Bakersfield, and President
P. C. Jurgens of the Traver Gnu Club especially invites the
doggy men to visit the tournament, the invitation being joined
in by Mr. E. Milee, the Secretary of the club.

This is the Manchester, Eng., idea: "A party of sportsmen
set off from Bourbon, U. S. A., for a ten day's shoot, and 1 e
ing partial to the drink of their native town, took a good sup-
ply of whisky with them. But, unfortunately, the whisky
gave out at the end of the fifth day, and great was the dis-
tress whioh was suffered by the gallant sportsmen. However,
they determined not to return until the expiration of the ten
days, and, when they did return, eager was tbe rush to the
saloon, and lond the call for drinks. Then came the story of
the privations they had undergone, when a straDger inter-
rupted the narrative.

"Guesp," said he, "you couldn't have suffered much. Why,
there was a river alongside you all the time."

"Oh," replied one of the sportsmen, "don't show your
deroed ipnorance. How do yon expect a man to pay anv
attention tc his personal cleanliness when he is suffering
from such an infernal thirst?"

Says the Kentucky Stock Farm: It is worth a visit t-> W.
H. Wilson's Abdallah Park to see Ihe order and system with
which all the operations of the farm are conducted. His
office eontains all the appliances for the rapid despatch of the
vast business of the farm. On entering it the first picture
that greets tbe eye is a portrait of Mr. L J. Rose, the great
California breeder. The walls are covered with handsome
and finely executed pictures of distinguished horses. A tele-
graphic instrument connecting with the Western Union lines
is one of the recent additions to the facilities in his office for
the despatch of business.

The following statement comes from the Express, pub-
lished at Terre Haute, the home of the unbeaten Axtell:
"Our California friends are having a terrible time in their
endeavor to beat the stallion record set by Axtell. When the
weather was good their horses did not have the speed, but
the weather Is bad. Nevermind, we will give you a' new
record next year, and your tracks will have to be made more
like a toboggan elide than they are now to beat it." It was a
fortunate thing for the Terre Haute reporters that Axtell was
taken there to winter, as every third item in ihe local depart-
ment has something to say about tbe great young stallion,
which tends to fill space when there is no chance to get other
news. Things are very dull in Terre Haute.

"Jefferson" writes from Hartford as follows: "Sunol may
be the only trotter to have made a quarter in 30 seconds, but
that is not the fastest quarter ever made by a trotter, as tbe
brown gelding Dart, owned by Mr. M. B. Smith of New York
City (formerly head of the R. G. Dunn Mercantile Agenoy)
has trotted a quarter over the Fleetwood track in 29 seconds'.
The horse is known in New York as a phenomenal quarter
and half mile horse, and has been trial miles iu 2:16 and
2:17. He was put into John Turner's hands last season to
further develop, but bus never trotted races, as his owner
would not consent to have him entered."

Congestion of the Lungs.

How Uealli of Horsei hjsulrocatlon May Be Averted

Congestion of the lungs ia usually caused by over exertion,
especially when the animal iB oat of condition, and some-
times by defective ventilation iu the Btable or by cold.

The distress is caused by the lungs becoming gorged with
more blood thaD tbey can porify and return back to (he
heart Death in this disease occurs from suffocation. An-
is taken freely into the luugs, but the circulation almost
ceases in tbeni, and iu spite o' this hurried breathing, as
shown by his panting sides, he is almost as completely suffj-
oated as if a cord were tied around hiB neck. On examining
bis eyes and nostrils they are Been to be turgid and purple,
the vessels heing tilled with carbonized blood, while the heart
beatB rapidly and feebly, and the countenance is expressive
of anxiety and distress.

Another symptom i3 indicated by very rapid breathing, a-
mounting in some cases to 50, 60, or 70 a minute, the nos-
trils being distended and cold air expired Very rarely is
there a decided beat of the pulse to be felt under the jaw;
the artery is distended with blood and the fluid seems to
creep through it by separate impulses. The animal stands
with forelegs apart, and, nothwithstanding the distressed
state of breathing, seems to object to fresh air, aa they al-
ways select a corner furthest from an opening. This baoit
of seeking remote coiners is observed in most cases of sick-
ness among snimals.
A proper treatment is Jrt give a stimulant, soon as a wine

glassful of tinctuie of arnica, or a quarter of a pint of whis-
key or brandy {if the aruioa is not at hand) in water, or sweet
spirits of Ditre three ounces, which should be mixed with
cold water. These stimulants may be repealed after fifteen
or twenty minutes. Allow the hor=e plenty of fresh air to
breathe and water to drink. Use warm fomentations to the
Bides, place the legs in warm water, hand rub the body and
olothe comfortably, and if the syniptomB be not relieved,
bleed to the extent of about a gallon.

During convalescence give laxative food with half an ounce
of nitre mixed in it daily.

Ditiusable stimulants, by quickeniug the general circula-
tion, tend to relieve congestion. Alcohol in small and re-
peated doses is a stimulant and diaphonetic (a medicine
whicb inoreases the action of the skin); in large doseB it is a
narcotic. Arnica seems to bave a sptcial action iu stimulat-
ing the small vessels of the surface of the body, hence its
probable value in cases of congestion of the lungs.

I received a letter early in the week from an old friend in
Yorkshire. Among other news, etc., he says; Oo Tues-
day, December 10th, the Gimcrack Club held tbeir 123rd an-
niversary dinner. A characteristic letter was received from the
Hon. Jas. Lowther. usually known as Jimmy Lowther in which
be regretted bis inability to be present and congratulated the
members on the beneficial effects of tbeir last meeting. Lord
Wenlock proposed the stewards and members of the Jockey
Club which was replied to by Lord Downc. The 'piece de
resistance' then followed. The Hon, BeginaltJ Packer pro-

posed the toast of Stewards and J'atrous of York races, refer-
ring in highly eulogistic terms to Lord Durham, who re-
sponded to the toast in what has generally been descrihed as
an excellent, gentlemanly, frank, manly speech. He firs'
of all Bpoke in high terms o' all old and time honored institi -
tions, such as York ra- es, and truly said that Yorkshire men
were showing their appreciation of and fondness for racing,
and particularly Yorkshire racing by tbe tremendons crowds
who alwayB witnesssed the meetings on Knavesiuire. The
speaker then in eloquent terms regretted the death of the late
Lord Falmouth, whom all i'ork-ibire delighted to honor for
his integrity and straightforward racing. Then referring to
his last year's speech. Lord Durham said he made it with his
eyes open, regardless of whether he gained or lost friends.
The reason he spoke there instead of in the Jookey Club
was because he was sure it would have more effect. His
speech all through was a justification of bis previous actions
and wound up with many good suggestions for the future,
among them being one that the Jockey Club should have
among its active members, men more closely conuecled with
turf pursuits. mor« racinc men and men who were willing
and not afraid to speak, and tint the Stewards should in fu-
ture hold their meelingB with open doors, allowing reporters
to be present and give a correct report of the proceedings.

Buyers who desire to increase their lines of choicely bred brood
mares, or to secure stallions* suited to the mares of California,
can, by spending the month of March in New York, have oppor-
tunity to select from hundreds of offerings in our sales, the
choicest blood and the best assortment in the country. It should
be borne in mind that the climatic crosses which have been
most prolific of great results in California (and also in Kentucky)
have been secured in the colder climates of the North and
East. If you are to use a home-bred stallion, obtain mares that
are bred and reared under radically different climatic influences.
If you use home-bred mares get your stallions from widely dif-
ferent climatic sources. While there are exceptions to all rules
the more you study this subject the more irresistable will be the
conviction that the greatest success has most often resulted
from this plan. It is just as important in breeding to obtain a
proper climatic out-cross as to obtain a good blood out-cross.

ALFRED G, 2:19f.

Owned by G. B. Guerne, - - Santa Rosa

«ii"i« "■ " - "i'lrtjBf '•"•

It is hard to say farewell and almost as hard to write it, |
but from the present aspect of affairs, the horse-loving com-
munity of California will, within a few days, bid farewell to
Alfred G.f 2:19f . the first trotting grandson of Electioneer to
enter the 2:20 list. Last week we mentioned that it waa
extremely likely Alfred G. would he sent to Kentucky, and
an interview with Mr. Guerne, the owner, verifies the report.
• The Sonoma County Stock Breeder's Association were the
owners of Anteeo, end were prevailed upon to send their
great yonng horae to the celebrated blae grass region of Ken-

tucky, and that their advisers were not wrong in the t stimate
that the Eastern horse breeders would put upon the horse, it
is only necessary to say that in leBS than six days bis book
was filled for the season of 18S9 at a Bervise fee of $200. J.
W. Koox, who took Anteeo EiBt, as is well kuown, fiually
sold him to the Kalamazoo Stock Farm, and to-day he is con-
sidered by many the greatest stock horse in the western
States. It is only a few weeks ago that Peter V. Johnson,
the well known trainer and driver, said in oar presence that
he folly expected to see Anteeo one of the greatest sires of

the age. An opinion snch as that, and coming from compe-
tent authority, carries sufficient weight to warrant the belief
that Electiooeer's sou has a grand future before him.

Mr. Knox has made a contract with Mr. Guerne, by which
he takes Alfred G. to Lexington, Ky., where he will eland for
public service at $200, and the leasee also has the privilege of
selling the horse, the price placed on him being $25,000. It
is hardly to be presumed that a young horse like thin will
ever have a chance to return to California, as there
em buyers always on the outlook for rare bargain?
is as good a one as was ever offered.

^Ixje IPrjeeto nn& gpavismmi.

Jan. 11

Alfred G. is a handsome bay, with four white feet and a
small star in forehead. He stands 15.2 in height, and weighs
1050 pounds. His conformation is exceedingly good to the
eye, and he will please any judge of horse flesh. As a three-
year-old he made two appearances, the first of which was at
Santa Rosa on August 15th, where he met Ben Davis, Red.
wood and Anti-Cooli-J. He won the tirBt and third heats,
but was ultimately beaten out by Ben Davis. The nest
appearance of the colt was at Petaluma, where he had as
antagonists Redwood, Ben Davis, Anti-Coolie and Alice, but
he failed to do better than get third money, the largest end of
the pur3e being taken by Redwood, another son of Anteeo.
Napa was the first of the circuit towns in 18S9, and there
we find hina battling against his old opponent Redwood,
Lookout, Nono T. and Flora B. He won the first heat by a
head in 2:31£, Redwood being second. Lookout, who bad
considerable local backing, won the second heat in 2:27 J. and
the third and fourth heats were won by Redwood in 2:24i
and 2;27£. In the fifth heat a change of drivers was made,
J. A. Dustin taking his place behind Alfred G., and from the
start it was seen that the alteration was beneficial. Hickok,
with his master hand, was driving Redwood, and it was all
he could do to win the deciding heal in 2:25, Alfred G. being
a good second. It was now evident that, barring accident,
Alfred G. would make a name for himself on the circuit, as
he had shown speed enough to beat his class if handled prop-
erly, and the colt was turned over to Dustin'a management.
The change was noticeable at San Rosa, where he won in
straight heats, in 2:29J, 2:231 and 2:*24j. Again, at Petalunm
he repeated the trick in the District four-year old race, where
he again won as he pleased in 2:36}, 2:30i and 2:27£. Oak-
land was the next objective point, and here we find Alfred G.
pitted against Atto Rex, Lord Byron, Pink and Express.
Atto Rex, the San Diego horse, had made such a showing on
the circuit, that he sold favorite in the pools at §60, Lord
Byron $55, Express $27. Pink $20, and Alfred G. was almost
neglected, at $10 and $11. Rex won the race in straight
heats, but Alfred G. was second in each; the first heat he
was only beaten by a nose in 2;21&.

At Sacramento the game young horse was overtaken with
the prevailing disease, the epizootic, and was far from being
in winning form, still he managed to get third place in four
heats out of five, each of his miles being trotted inside of
2:21. When he appeared at Stockton the following week, he
was a very sick horse, and it seemed a shame to turn him
loose in the company he had to face, the field consisting of
Hazel Wilkes, Emma Temple, Mary Lou, Pink, Lorita, and
the subject of this sketch. Alfred G. won the first heat in
2:23}, but was beaten by Hazel Wilkes, by half a length, for
the second heat in 2:20. Even the constitution of a horse
co" Id not stand the excessive strain, especially in view of his
trouble, and he had to be content with third money, Emma
Temple ultimately winning the race. At San Jose he was
still under the weather, and was again unable to do better
than get third money, in the 2:23 class, Hazel Wilkes prov-
ing the victor.

At the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Association
meeting, we again find Alfred G. contending against Nono T.
and Balkan, he winning easily the first, second and fourth
heats in 2:24, 2:23£ and 2:23. He was now sent back to
Santa Rosa, where he was given an occasional jog, but the
weather was so bad that he could not even be given a work
out.

When the news was flashed over the wires that an attempt
would be made to lower a lot of the records at Napa, Mr.
Guerne's horse was sent overland, and there joined the great,
band of horses that were about to add another laurel to the
wealth of California. Arriving on Saturday morning, Alfred
G. was sent for a record that afternoon, Marvin driving the
grandson of Electioneer, and notwithstanding the lack of
necessary work, the celebrated Palo Alto driver had no diffi-
culty in sending Alfred G. a mile in 2:19|.

When the exhibition was concluded, the fifteen hundred
spectators fairly made the welkin ring, as both owner and
horse are very popular. It was another grand victory for the
advocates of the Electioneer blood, and stamped the fact
solidly, that Electioneer does breed on in generation after
generation. We are extremely sorry to think that our neigh-
bore further East are going to have the advantages of Alfred
G.*s breeding, but what is a Iobs to California is a gain to
Kentucky. The following is his pedigree:

•'Abe.'*

H. G. Criekmore relates a touching incident in the life of
Abe, the colored jockey who rode Bayswater, the winner of
the first race at tbe opening of Jerome Park in 1S6G. Abe
was never known to have a surname. The world knew him
only as Abe; he rode at New Orleaos, Saratoga, and Jerome
Park as Abe, and the turf reporters wrote of him as Abe.
He was a clever jockey, his methods in the saddle being de-
scribed as a combination of the methods of Garrison. Ham-
ilton and Murphy. He was neither beautiful nor graceful,
but had a kaack of "getting there." In slavery days Abe
was a chattel of Ducau F. Kenner, of New Orleaos, the man
after whom the Kenner Stake at Saratoga was named. When
tbe war be^an Mr. Kenner went to Europe, where he remained
till after the d^s of reconstruction. Abe beciine a 'freed-
man, and in 1S66 journeyed to the North to pursue his cal-
ling as a jockey, riding wherever and whenever he could get
a mount. His savings in a year or two amounted to some
$4,000, which he deposited iu a bank in New York. Al-
ready an old mau when he left Dixie, he conld not resist a
longing to return; so one day, without saying a word to any-
body, he set out for New Orleaos. Going to the bank he pre-
sented his book and asked for $100. "Ise gwine away fer
good," he informed tbe teller; "gwine back to deplanta-
shun." "Going away for gooi, eh'J" said, the teller, count-
ing out $100 and entering the draft on Abe's book. "What
are you going lo do with Ibe reet of your money?" "Leave
that byer for my ole mnrster. He moot need it w'eo 'e gits
back." When Abe died Mr. Kenner buried him at the head
of the home-stretch on his private training-ground near New
Orleans.

A young western horse which had evidently been pampar-
ed up and drugged for sale, was completely let down and
Buffering from much fever, Finding it necessary to employ
an active purge, I, at the request of the owner, used Simmons
Liver Regulator, giving one pint doses twelve hours apart!
and as soon as he could eat giving it in powder form in bran.
In one week he bad fully recovered. — Geo. W. Rodfong, V,

REDWOOD, 2:24^.

7W.ff PROPERTY OF A. McFADYEN.

The fame of Anteeo has gone abroad, the splendid per-
formances of his progeny last year, stamping him as a great
producer of speed and as a natural consequence those of bie
sons who are in public service this season wilt receive a large
number of mares. Parties in Kentucky wanted to secure a
lease of Redwood, but the owner absolutely refuse 1 to allow
him to go EaBt, having determined to give tne breeders o*
California a chance to avail themselves of Redwood's grand
breeding. A look over the pedigree will prove to any one
that Redwood should also transmit speed as he is fleet of foot
himself and has not had a chance to get anything near a
paper mark for himself. Year before last, as a three-year-
old he appeared twice, first at Petaluma where be met Ben
Davis, Alfred G., Anti-Coolie and Alice. He won the third,
fourth and fifth with considerable ease in 2:35, 2:31 and
2:30£. HislaBt work for 1888 was as a contestant in the Oc-
cident Stake at the State Fair Meeting at Sacramento. Sol
"Wilkes was the only other starter and both of the animals
were dead lame. Sol Wilkes won the first* heat in 2:47 bul
Redwood cut the matter short by taking the next heats in
2:39£, 2:36£ and 2:40*.

In 1889 he again appeared, the first time at Napa, where
he faced a strong field of horses, and although his half broth-
er won the first heat, and Lookout won the Becoud, still,
guided by 0. A. Hickok, he won the third, fourth and fifth
heats, repeating his performances of the year before, and
winning a large sum of money for his backers. In this race
he got his record, 2 :24i, and it is no exaggeration in stating
that he could have reduced that mark by a second or two.
He only appeared once again, the epizootio having taken a
strong hold of the young colt, and he was in no condition to
do himself justice. Mr. McFadyen is positive that during
this year he will make a very low record; in fact there are
some that imagine he should "almost touch hiB sire's mark
In color he is a heautiful bay, with black points, the relief
being one white hind foot. His dam, Lou Medium, was a
very fast trotter, being able to show a mile in 2:25 at almost

any time; in fact Bhe was -me of the best of the progeny left
in this State by Milton Medium. The grandam of Redwood
was "Fly" the sorrel maie so well known in the Ralston
team, The Late Banker, frequently showing the Bpeed of his
fast pair to the road frequenters. Fly was undoubtedly well
bred, and it seems sheer nonsense that the pedigree of such
a last mare should never have been established. Mr. Ral-
ston was very negligent in the matter, or the word "un traced"
would not be there to-day. However, Redwood is as fast as
a bullet and will stand for the season of 1890 at the Oakland
Trotting Park, where the best of care and attention will be
paid to all mares sent to the embrace of this great son of An-
teeo.

P. C. T. H. B. A.

The Paci6c Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Asscciation
held their annual meeting on Thursday evening at the Palace
Hotel, with J. H. "White (Pres.) in the chair. Acting Sec'y,
W. Page, read his report, showing the good financial status
of the association, there being $1,354 to their oredit. The
treasurer and secretary's reports were adopted. A long dis-
cussion then took place as to whether ILe association Bhonld
be incorporated, it being eventually referred to the Board.
Tbe election of officers resulted in the selection of J. H,
"White, F. W. Lober, G. Valensin, F. H. Burke, M. Salisbury,
A. T. Hatch, W. Page. W. S. Hobarfc, Irvin Ayres, F. L.
Coombs and G. Tompkins.

The newly elected Directors met immediately after the
adjournment, and elected the following officers:
President, J. H. White; vice-Pre-idents, F. H. Burke and F.
W. Loeber; Treasurer, N, T. Smith The election of a Secre-
tary was deferred until after the revision of the by-laws.

The new Board of Directors met on Thursday morning,
with President J. H. White, F. H. Burke, W FaRe, I. Ayrep.
G. ValenBin, F. L. Coombs, F. W. Loeber and G. Tompkins
present. The morning session was devoted to the coiistitu-
tion and by-laws, tbe. moot noteworthy being tbe initiation fee
which was fixed at $25 and the annual cln.es at $10. In elect-
ing officeis no proxies are eligible; the Secretary was insiruot-
ed to have a sufficient quantity of copies of the By-laws
printed.

"When tbe Board of Directors met for the afternoon ses-
sion, the first and most important discussion took place over

the Secretaryship- Mr. "Wilfred Page, who was one of tbe org-
inators and instigators of the association, had acted as ttm-
porary Secretary, but being unwilling, owing to his other en-
gagements to continue, Mr. J. P. Eerr was after some discus-
sion unanimously appointed Secretary, and the offices will
in future be in the Breeder and Sportsman office The Di-
rectors decided to give at their nest meeting, the date of
which was not fixed, yearling, two-year-old, three and four-
year-old stake races, purses for three-jtar-olds wbo have not
beaten 3:00, four ytar-olds that have not beaten 2;40, end al-
so purses for the get of stallions who have no representatives
in the 2;30 class, and a purse of $1,000 for 2;30 stallions.

Tbe Stanford stakes were called up for redisca&sion, and it
was decided to accept the stakes- It will te trotted in 1892
by foals of 18S9. The entrance was reduced from $175 to
$100.

Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association.

Tbe new Board of Directors met on Thnrsriay evening
Mr. Lathrop taking the chair. Messrs. Thornton, Williams,
Gunst, Carrol, and Finigan, in fact all tbe Directors, were
present. The Secretary, E. S. Culver, was duly reappointed
without a dissenting vote, aB waB the Treasurer, P. A. Fini-
gan. Mr. Lathrop then appointed the various committees,
including several new ones, notably a Handicapping Com-
mittee of three, composed of Messrs. Thornton, Williams and
Finigan, and another of Messrs. Williams and Gunst, to in-
duce the tradesmen, hotels and railroads to give added money
to several stakes in the fall.

Considerable discussion took place about fixing the date of
the spring meeting. Saturday, April 12th, was eventually
selected as tbe opening day. Whether tbe race would take
place at the Bay District track or not could not be defnittly
Btated, as probablv it would be turned into building proper-
ty at any time. If they could not seenre i: Oakland is almost
sure to have the ia'es thtre Thr Pres. then projosed that
the Association should secure snitahle offices. The Secretary
presented au offer from Mr. James P. Kerr to provide them
with office room free in tbe Breeder and Sp*rtsman (fficee.
A vote of thaDks to Mr. Iwr for his liberal cflVr was peeked,
but as some of tbe Directors were unwilling to ac<eptrVj
room on Mr. Kerr's terms, preferring to pay for il
Mr. Latbrnp was appointed a committee of one l« c
with Mr. Kerr. The Board then adjourned.

made for bis service? next year some time ago, several thous-
and dollars, but each lime Walbaom has s'ood the raise.
Now that b )th pit ties have reached the top figure Bergen is

The most popular races in India used to be the HydeTa
bad. Last year they were nnt eo well patronized by the
owners of the large Arab stable-*. The totalizator wsb very
little used, the inuovation not having oearly as much plav
as the old parimutnel, which was worked on the credit sys-
tem. It has been suggested that a money lender l e on band
to keep things on a cash baBis. There were two firms of
bookmakers who did grea' bnsiness.

On being asked if he anticipated a union of the Nitioral
and American Associations, President Johnson said: ' That, I
cannot say, but a state of affairs now exiBts which leaves no
obstaclein the way of union. The personal lelatiooships be-
tween the lea ing members of the two hodies are of the mo>t
friendly character, and I believe that the breeders and the
principal horsemen of the country realize that it would be to
their advantage to be governed by one body."

The Kentucky Trotting Hoise Breeders' Association
opened four important stakes, which closed January 1,
1890. The Stallion Representative Stake of $5000 is for foals
of 1SS9 the get of stallions wrich may be nominated in this
stake to trot as three-year-olds wt the autnmo'meeting of the
association in 1892. The Lexington Stake of $1000 is for two
year olds. TheKentncky Stake for three-year olds and t l:e
Blue Grass Stake for four-year-olds are also for $1000 each.

While talking to Wm. Coombs about Dolly McMann slip-
ping her colt, be tuld me that he originally bought her and
bred her to Nutwood, but being away from home when she
was about due to foal, she got among some mare= aud colts
and foal-d all right, but not being taken up at once (o*iaef to
the neglect of the employes) the colts kicked and trampled on
the chestnut colt, breaking his back. His brothers got the
old mare then and bred her to Whippleton, the result being
Lillie Stanley 2:174.

The Passaic Connty Agricultural Society on Dec. 28ih an
nonnced what will probably be the first nee for two year olda
of 1890. The race will be called the Early Blossom Stake,
will be at three-eighths of a mile, and will be run on Feb.
14th nest at Cliftoo, if the track and weather permit. Other-
wise the race will be run on the first favorable day. The
Bociety will add $1000 to the stakes, entrance to which will
be $10 each, with $15 extra for starters. The stakes will
close Feb. 1st, and the cash entrance fee must aocompany
the nomination.

Arthur Lion and Tom Treacy on January 2nd matched
their three year olds Mayor Nolan aod Mayor Noonan for
$500 a side at three-quarters of a mile, weight forage, the
race lo be run at the Fuir Grounds early io thespriDg. Mayor
Noonan is by Spriogbokjaud although he only started out
four times as a two year old lie Bhowed that he was a good
one. He won oue race aud came in second twice. Mayor
Nolan is by Great Tom and is named after Mavor Nobin of
Albany, the head of the Beverwyck stable Mayor Nolan
Btarted 12 limes and has one win io his credit.

Geo. G. White, proprietor of the Chicken Cock Btud farm,
near Paris, Ky , has b. night at a high price ihe black stal-
lion Clay Wilkes, 9, by George Wilkes, first d«m by Amer-
ican Clav, second dam the dam of Howard, 2.27}, and Jeff
Wilkes 2:29}. He was owned by the Prospect hill farm in
Pennsylvania. Besides this stallion Mr. White owns the
celehrated Victor Von Bismarck, the sire of the great unbeat-
en Edgemark, 2:1b" as a four year old, who won all his races
as a yearling, a two year old and a three year old. Clay
Wilkes will be ca-upaigned next year after he serves a limi-
ted number of mares.

There are quite a number of men, defaulters in India, who
are racing in England, and several prominent sporting jour-
nals io India have been commenting strongly on the action of
the Premier R icing Clnb (the Calcutta Turf Club) in not
sending official information to the racing authorities in Eng-
laud. If they do not do so, the same men will probably de-
fault there, and othern will come bo<-e and eventually oast a
refleotionon the club in question. That they have the power
hue been proved last seat-on when the Victoria Jockey Club
prevented the irrepressible Mr. Weekes from racing iu Mel-
bourne on reoeipt of notice of his default in India.

The sons and daughters of Longfellow sioce the the year
1876 wheh they first appeared on the tnrf have won $650,000
in stakes and purses For several years he has been stand-
ing at $500, bnt he is likely to be used only as a private stal-
lion. He was the first horse to ran a miU in 1:40 an the
American soil.

There is one thing certain, 6ays an Exchange, only horses
with the most certain proof of having been entered should be
allowed to start in trotting races even under protest. They
are often serious disturbing elements and it is poor satisfac-
tion for the winner of only portion of a race to have to wait
months for his winnings.

Major Frank McLaughlin is once more in California and
is full of things he's seen etc. etc. One peculiarly American
institution remains to scare him, the sight of a reporter acts
on him like a red hag on. a bull. The gallant major says
that he had not time to unpack when he was attacked by a
mob of the 6ghting reporters and how he got rid of them God
and he aloue know.

The stockholders of the Arizona Industrial Exposition As-
sociation last week elected a board of directors, six out of the
thirteen new men. We may now look for increased effec-
tiveness from so much fresh blood. The b -ard iueludes:
H. H. Logan, J. D. Monihon, T. J. Trask, L. Fowler, C. E.
Hakes, H. E. Kemp, H. W. Ryder, D. H. Recarte. J. Her-
bert, O. H. Christy, C. W. Johnstone, K. E. Farnngton, E.
Ganz. The new board will organize January 6, 189U.

The great trotting sire Wilton, by George Wilkes, dam Al-
lie, by Rysdyk's Hambletooian. jointly owned heretofore by
W. C. France and Bowerman Bros., was sold on Jan. 1st to
the latter. The price is private, but said to be the largest
for which a stallion has ever been sold in America.

In building the road from the Hatfield Gate to the back-
stretoh of the Westchester track several old coins have been
found. Big pennies, which smack of past generations, when
one got the worth of his money. One is clearly marked
"1840," but there is aDother with "1300" insoribed below
the profile of a man with a powdered wig and riband of a cen-
tury back. And now the question is, WaB American money
made in 1300 or does this hnd indicate that John A. Mor-
ris has unearthed Capt. Kidd'a treasure.

If John Mackey is unable to go E»st, as his present state
of health, I am sorry to say, indicates, E. S. Culver, the
erudite Secretary of the Blood Horse, will probably go East
with the trotters next month. Mr. Haggin will Bend year-
lings two, three, and four year olds and no better man than
Ned Culver could be found for he knows almost as much a-
bout the old California trotters as John Mackey and is just
as genial and full of general information which he imparts
fully to cover one.

Dave Pulsifer is said to have brought off the largest coup
of last year on December 28th. The rooms were reopened
in Chicago and the West and all Saturday ths wires were
kept hot with m-ssages to Louisville, Nashville, Chicago,
Detroit, Kansas City, St. Paul, Denver and San Francisco
hearing the legend "lay me fifty each way on Wynwood at
post odds, answer," signed D. T. Pulsifer. In the local N.
Y. pool roomB Mr. Pelaifer continued betting and on the
track kept it up till the Hag fell when he had $4000 ou to win
$32000 and pulled it off.

The Australian condidates lor the Erglish Derby have had
very little work so far and no one can really koow what thoir
true form is. A well known racing man sayB: they are big-
boned, sturdy-built colts somewhat coarse about their head
and neck , and lack the quality so generally to be Been in the
kind of auimals which distinguish themselves in our classic
raceB. Then again, the action of the oolt6 — more particular-
ly in their tlow paces — strikes me aB being heavy aud some
wh»t cuachy not at all adapted for the: up-and-down hill
course at Epsom.

Ciidge, the well known New York bookmaker, claims to
have the boss preventative to bogus tickets (duly patented).
It ia a "serrator" which has an irregular or serrate edge, and
is used in delaching the ticket from the stub, and it has been
found in practice lhat the line of tear produced by the use of
the use of the implement will vary with each patticolar use.
consequently that the ticket or other paper separated from
the stub can be tilted only to i's owu particular stub.

Since the use of the patent Mr. Cndge says he has only
paid on one bogus ticket, and then through an employee's
carelessness.

During last season in England, horses running under
Jockey Club Rules, have divided amongst their owners $2,-
400 000. This, of course, does not include prizes taken by
hunters, handicap steeplechase horses and m hurdle races, and
as during six months of the year the illegitimate sport is go-
ing on all over the country, and big money put op, there IB a
goodly sum to be added to the total. Last year shows an ad-
vance of $250 000 on the previous year, which was almost aB
muoh in advance of 1883. Evidently the Britishers are up
with the times.

When Axtell and Alletton trotted their fast miles as three
year olds they wore very light shoes, something like six
ounces in front and a liitle less behind. When Sunol went
in 2-10* ahe wore nine ounce shoes in front and four ounces
behind. Margaret S. wore only 8 ounces in front and about
3 ounceB behind, and Lillian Wilkes was very evenly bal-
anced. In fact, it is generally admitted that very fast colts
most go with light shoes, Bince it is contrary to common
sense to suppose that they can take up a great amount of
weight on their feet and do the trick.

A mutual understanding between man and horse is necessa-
ry in order to insure the largest per cent, of protit to the
stall-owner, says a leading writer. If friendly word and kind-
ly act are Bent as messengers, the equine nature moves m
quick response; if angry tone and brutal blow be offered,
they are treasured up in Bullen, vengeful mind, and at the
moment leaat expected are tendered back in most disastrous
manner. The prudent stallioner is friendly with his horse.
His nature is made the subject of careful study; his pecu-
liarities of temper are learned; his faults are skillfully cor-
rected, and his vices, if any unfortunately there be, are mit-
igated.

An invention likely to interest all breeders and horsemen,
has just been brought out at the Vienna Military Veterinary
Institute Prof. Polanski and Dr. Schindelka have con-
structed an instrument admitting of the inspection by mirror
of the horae's larynx. This apparatus is used with a tiny
electric lamp, and the examination is made, not as heretofore,
through the animal's mouth, but through its nostrils. Only
three men have been required to hold the horses during the
experiments which have been made at the Vienna Institute.
The new method has the advantage of allowing the nostrils
to be thoroughly examined at the same time as the larynx,
which for certain diseases is all important.

lone race track iB in exceptionally good trim. The track
is beautifully built, being several feet higher than the sur-
rounding land, while the soil is such that in a couple of days
the track is in good working order. As a proof of the excel-
lence of the track, quile a number of horses have wintered
there. C. F. Bunch has a big half dozen, while Waterman
brought tffo from Stockton, aud several other prominent
trainers are in lone. Last year, Amador and Sacramento
counties gave preference to the runners, and judging from
the satisfaction given all round, and the good raciDg shown,
they will continue the programme this year, and should De
extensively patronized by both ruunere and trotters; their
liberality and general good management deserve it.

The Melbourne Cup will be run this year on November
4th. The following are the revised conditions as fixed by
the Victoria Racing Club: —

"The Melbourne Cup, a handicap sweepstakes of 50 sovs.
each, 10 forfeit, or only 5 if declared before August 4th, with
10,000 sovs. and a trophy, value 150 sovs , added. After the
declaration of the weights the winner of any handicap flat
lace, valne 100 sovs., to carry 3 lbs.; 200 sovs , 5 lbs.; 300
sovs, 7 lbs.: 500 sovs. or upwards, 14 lbs. extra, provided
that the winner of the Jockey Club or Victoria Bacing Club
Derby of this year shall carry not less than 7 st. 6 lbs. Dis-
tance from stand, two miles, Entries, wilh 5 sovs., to be
made before Monday, June 2nd, and the weighis to appear
on June 23rd. The second forfeit of 5 sovs. to be declared
and paid on the Tuesday preceding the race."

The Bev. E. J. Saxton, while preaching at Barnsley on
"Betting and Gambling," said that bookmakers all "lived in
fine mansions," "have splended surroundings," "maintain
their carriages" and "make as much as £50,000 in a day."
Occasionally they lose, but of course the reverend minister
did not figure on that; later on referring to Jubilee Juggins,
concerning whom he emoted some chatty notes by that ex-
cellent writer of cheap sensationalism, Mr. Runciman. This
writer had said that Benzon's £250,000 was robbed from him
in the Bight of all England, whereupon the Rev. Mr. Saxton
in his righteous wrath exclaims: "Talk of brigands; we have
an army of them in our midst. Had this robery taken place
in Greece or Spain, all our newspapers and our Government
would have cried that the men should be found and pun-
ished, yet the men who robbed this youth are honored in
society, and probably contribute to religious and charitable
objects some of the blood money." It looks as though the
worthy minister of the gospel was wasting his sympathy on
a boy who would break the books but did not. The only way
to stop him was to put him in an asylum.

I had a very chatty visit from Bruce Cockrill last Satur-
day. He says that the Salinas track is iu very fair or ier.
He has had a hard stroke of luok. The yearling tally by Mil-
ner out of Maggie O is dead, while Daisy D's colt has only
just recovered from his accident — he fell down in front of a
plough and cut his shoulder a month ago. Mr. Cockrill
took down with him a recent purchase fioin Palo Alto, viz,
the bay two year old colt Mero (Wilaidle -Precious), brother
to Philander and half brother to Peel and Pliny. Bruce gave
$1,000 for the colt, who is a very promising youngster,
heavily engaged on the coast. Among hiB engagements are
the Racine Stakes (spring), Autumn Stakes (fall), at the
Blood Horse this year, and in 1891 at the Blood Horse Spring
Meeting he is entered for the Tidal Stakes and the Pacific
Derby, and also in the Fame Stakes in the fall.

Afler all the credit the Jubilee Plunger received for writ-
ing "How Host £250,000 in two years," it turns out that all
he wrote was two words, "Ernest Benzon," which he put
under his portrait on the title page. There is. after all, some-
thing in a name. The real writer was Veio Shaw, a well^
known sporting writer, who was engaged by two well known;
publishers, and as he only receiving £100 instead of £200 as
agreed on, he sued the publisher and got a verdict for the ex-
tra £100. The facts were supplied by the Rev. Evelyn
Burnaby, who knew the plunger during his minority, and
Sir George Chetwynd. By the way, an exchange in re' Ben-
zoo Bays: Beozoo, "the Jubilee Plunger".is again in a state
of financial collapse, and ia contemplating a lecture tour in
this country. But Americans need no instruction on how to
spend money. What they like to hear is how to earn it.

At the late Newmarket sale Mr. Edmond Tattersall, the
premier auctioneer, was suffering from bronchitis, so his
son, Somerville Tattersall, mounted the rostrum. The sale
was a great success, and in future December sales will be a
regular thing. On the tirBt day Sir George Mar purchased
for Hampton Court Stud (The Queens) Madam du Barry,
1875, (Fa vonius— Strategy) for 900 guineas and Luciennes,
1S85, (Beauclerc — Madam du Barry) for 390 gaineas. The
Duke of Hamilton gave top nrice, 1,300 guineas for Mercy,
1886, (Barcaldine — Clemence) and John Porter (for Baron
HirschJ paid 1,250 guineas for Pinkbasket, 1883, (Hampton —
Bercannette). The late Lord Falmouth's racing stock were
sold by Mr. Somerville Tat'ersall on Wednesday, Dec. 20th.
Eight yearlings averaged 835 guineas, Captain Machell pay-
ing 2,700 guineas for the Galliard — Madge Wildfiie tilly.
Twelve weanlings averaged 446 guineas, Mr. Milner paying
1,100 guineas for the Sprinefield-Darnaway weanling. Twen-
ty brood mares averaged 998 guineas. Doncaster 1883 (Don-
caster — Belle Agnes) brought top price, 2,300 guineas, the
Duke ot Hamilton purchasing her. Two Heraait mares sold
for 2,200 guineaB each, viz., Wharfedale. 1878 (Hermit — Bon-
nie Doon) and Pauline, IS83 (Hermit — Lady Masham) Lab-
rynth, 1881 (Hampton — Pretence) was sold for 2,000 guineas.
Merry-Go-Ronnd, a thirteen-year-old stallion by Scottish
Chief out of Spinaway, sold for only 420 guineas. Rada, a
four-year-old mare by Speculum out of Nellie McGregor,
in training, sold for 1,150 guineas. Taken altogether, the
sale was one of the best ever held ; over £50,000 was taken in
on the whole dRy's sales, while Lord Falmouth's 42 head
sold for £33,570 guineas.

The now two-year-olds at Lexington were worked along
the last few days of their yearlinghood. James Murphy
worked the sister to Clay Stockton, and the grey colt by
Longfellow ontof Gray Helen, aquarter in24iseconds. while
the Silver Mine and Clarence G. tilly, owned by Larry Hart,
went the same distance in the fast time of 23 4-5 seconds.
Byron McClelland 's brown filly by Billet, dam Retreat by
Virgil, handilv beat a Duke of Montrose and Hindoo colt,
ihree-eiahths in 37 seconds, while a tilly by Vauxhall, out of
Silken Ban, served a Mr. Pickwick filly in the same style, in
a dash of a quarter, which he ran in 25 seconds. The beat
performance of the week, aud the season thus far, was done
by Sister Linda, a daughter of imported Zorilla, who covered
three furlongs in 36 seconds. Her feat was accomplished in
tb.9 trial noted above, with shoes on and weight up.
Trainers are astonished at her performance, and no young-
ster in training there is accorded as much attention, as she
gives every indication of developing into a Miss Woodford or
a Spinaway.

The Monterey District Trotting Association held their an-
nual meeting in Salinas last week. The Treasurer's report
showed that there had been paid out to the winners of the
colt stakes of 1889, the sum of $400, and that there was on
hand $105 paid in as entrance money for the twenty-one en-
tries of 1890. The second payment of $10 was made on each
ot the following nominations to the stake of 1890: J. B Iver-
son's filly Mambrita, Wm. Vanderhurst'a tilly Salinas Maid,
Z Hebert's col: Spokane, C. C. Allen's filly Pocahon'as,
Paris Kilburn's filly Aunty Wilkes, and J. D. Carr's Nina
B. Second payment delinquent at 12 o'clock at night, Jan.
1 ' 1890. M. Lynn was unanimously elected President of the
association for the ensuing year. Jas. B. Iverson, Treasurer,
and S. Z Hebert, Secretary. It was voted that the stake
money for 1891, be divided as follows: 60 per cent, to first
horse; 25 per cent, to second horse; 15 per cent, to third, and
10 per cent, to fourth; also that distance be waived.

The two-yeaT-old stake for 1891 was opened and received
nine entries ou the 6pot; the stallions Antevolo, Junio, Mul-
voorheeB and St. Patrick having two of their get entered,
while the ninth was a Sidney.

'Hiram Woodruff Howe died on January 2nd.' Very few
among ns noticed the announcement in the daily papers, and
fewer still recognized that this was the celebrated driver of
Lady Thorn 2:18J. American Girl 2:16}, Maggie Lambert
2:25k Woodbridge Girl and a host of other well known trot-
ters. ' Hiram Woodruff Howe was the nephew and adopted
son of Hiram Woodruff, the driver among drivers, who died
in 1867, leaving behind him an untarnished name and a re-
putation such as no man ever had in trotting circles. His
well known sterling principles and ideas were early im-
pressed on his relative who worthily upheld the reputation
of the family. Hiram Woodroffa wife lived with Howe until
her death in March, 1838. For the last fifteen years, Hiram
Howe kept a road house on the Boulevard, Coney Island,
which was a popular resort with all driviog and eleigbing
parties, particularly the old school, who liked to ohat of days
of yore'. He married one of the Misses Shaw; the other sister
married John Murphy, 'the Red Prince,' who died only a few-
months ago. The death of these two grand drivers and train-
ers will be deenly regretted all over the country, but though
dead they will never be forgotten among trotting men and
lovers of the trotting horse.

The leading stallion for last season is Wm. L. Scott's
imported horse Rayon d'Or. He is closely followed by the
dead (imported) Prince Charlie, late the property of Daniel
Swigert, while the third plaoe is occupied by Frank B. Har-
per's great Lonefellow, Rayon d'Or's get won the enormous
sum of $172,897. Prince Charlie's $169,546 and Longfellow's
$140,015. The biggest winner was Chaos, by Rayon d'Or,
who won $63,550 in stakes and purses.

Rayon d'Or has, as will be seen below, a double cross of
Glenooe, a trelle cross of Diomed, and a double cross of
Touchstone. He is racing-bred on both sides, Flageolet
being a very high class race-horse; while his dam — a half
sister to King Tom, Stockwell and Rataplan — has produced,
among others, Chamant, winner of the 2 000 guineas, Canie-
lia, winner of the 1,000 guineas aod dead heat for the Oaks,
and Wellingtoria, the Bireof Plaisanterie. Rayond'Or himself
was a race-horte, winning, among others, the Leger, the
Champion Stakes, 2 miles 73 yards, beating Plaoida (the
Oaks winner), Exeter and five othera, the Challenge Stakes,
six furlongs, when he beat such well known horses as Lolly-
pop, Placida and Parole. As a four-year-old he won two
races in France, 2 miles 5 furlongs and 3 miles 1 furlong,
aud in England he walked over for the Post Slakes and
Prioce of Wales Stakes, and carried 132 ponnds to the front
in the Rous Memorial at Ascot. Doling his turf career he
won $122,140.

It is no wonder, when one reads the horse's record and
looks carefully into his blood lines, that he is at the head of
all the stallions in use in America. Rayon d'Or was im-
ported in 1S82 by Congressman W. L. Scott after one short
season in France, where he left nine colts, most of which have
since raced well there.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

Edited by Arpblppus.
SUMMABY.

Next week the athletes will coniinence to train for coining
events. For the present tbe Olympic athletes will be com-
pelled to train indoors, while the Alpine Amateurs will be
able to use their outdoor grounds towards the end of next

Several rowing clubs not already in the Pacific Rowing As-
sociation have applied for admission.

KUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The oinder path at Berkeley is in a very wretched condi-
tion, and it will be some time before the students can re-
sume practice.

The chief athletic meeting of the year will be the oham-
pionship meeting on May 3Utb. Three clubs will compete lor
the flag, tbe Olympic, the University and the Alpine. The
former olub should certainly Btand the best show of coming
out ahead, as it has the largest number of athletes on its
side. The University club is compjsed of but a few men,
but its members are all athletes of the first order. A few
men, such as Gallagher, Mays, Hill, Moffett aud House
would prove more destructive to the enemy than fifty second-
rate athletes. To meet tuese champions the Olympic Club
will send Henderson, Jarvis, Purcell, Buchanan, McGee,
Cassidy, Cooley, McArthur, Haley, and possibly Schiffer-
stein. The Alpine Club Has only three or four really tirst-
class men, but these athletes wilt make a great effort 10 win
first place in their different events. Cassidy has a very fair
Bhow to win the mile; McKinuon is liable to break tn« rec-
ord in the hammer throwing event, while Sexsmiih will pos-
sibly win the pole vault. Besides these three men there are
two or three other athletes in the club who may capture some
secoDd medals. The Alpine boys would not attempt to meet
either the Olympic or University clubs single-handed, their

only hope being to win a sufficient number of puintB on the

outside to capture the pennant or else to take second place.

There is not a particle of doubt but that every athlete who

takes part in the games will be in the very best of condition.

The meeting will be well worth a day's journey to witness,

and May 30th will certainly be a red letter day in the history

of athletics on the PaciDc Coast.

The athletes will find some very important news regard-
ing the Amateur Athletic Uuion uuder the heading of "Jot-
tings From All Over." Now that the Pacific Coast Amateur

Athletic Association is a member of the Union, the athletic

readers of this paper may find it to their interest to read

the notes referred to.

We expect to be able to publish the Olympic programme of

gamei for Washington's birthday in our next issue.
There still exists a doubt as to whether the outdoor

grounds of the Olympic Club will be ready for February 22d

or not.

The training grounds of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club

at Harbor View will be ready for use about the 15th. The

dressing rooms are complete, and the track will soon be in

firsl-class condition.

The University students will be assessed this year to de-
fray the expenses of improving the track at Berkeley. Hot

water baths will also be erected in the gymansiam.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Thomas P. Conneff, the well known amateur runner is
rapidly recovering from an attack of typhoid lever, and it is
thought that he will soon be able to attend to hie business
duties as usual. It will be many months, however, before
he can again appear on the cinder pa h.

G. M. L. Saeha, the well known patron of amateur athlet-
ic has decided to resign from all the clubs of which he is a
member. There have been published so many unfounded
rumors concerning Mr. Sacks' action that for the information
of our readers we publish tbe following sample of his letters
of withdrawal:

Wlnd=or Hotel, New York City, Dec. 21.— Wm. B. Cur-
tis, President N. A. 8. A. — My Dear Sir: Acting under the
advice of my physician, that I must abstain from all active
participation in business and athletic matters and sojourn
for some time in the south of France (for which place I leave
to-day), I am reluctantly compelled to send in my resigna-
tion as a membei of the National Amateur Skating Associa-
tion. I know my own nature too well, and if I did not re-
sign from all athletic clubs and associations, I would at the

first opportunity break all promises and eDdanger my health, i membership ic the Uoion, and Eugene Van Schaiok
Wiih my best wishes for the future of the N. A. S. A.,

I remain, truly yours, Gus M. L. Sacks.

At the general meeting of the Eoglish Amateur Athletic
Association, held in Birmingham, Dec. 14, the followios rec-
ords were passed: 200yds.— E. H. Pelling. 19 4-5s ■ 440yds-

— H. C. L. Tindall, 48^s.; 600yds,— H. C. L. Tiudall lm
12s.; 1,000yds.— Pollock Hill, 2m. 15 4-5s.; three miles— j]

Kibblewhite, 14m. 29 3 5s. ; throwing the hammer — W. J, M.'

Barry, 130ft.; pole jump— E. L. StoneB, lift. 7in. It was

decided to include 250>ds. as a new distance on the reoord

list, and E H. Felling's record of 24 4-5b. was accepted. The

championships for 1890 were fixed for decision at Aston Low-
er Grounds, Birmingham.

Jake Gaudaur very sensibly refuses to row an important

race on such water as is generally to be found at the Point

of Pines; Boston Bay, but says that he is prepared to make a

match to row John Teemer or Ned Hanlan, or both, for $1 -

000 a side for each race, at Lake Quiusigamond, MaBs. any

time before July 4 next. *'

The aonual fencing championship meeting will be held at

the New York Athletic Club house, 104 "West Fiftv fif^h

Street, New York City. Ly mm

The trials February 4th and 5th, and the finals, February

8th. The events will be given tbe same as last year and an

eutrance fee of $2 will be charge d for each event. 'Contest-
ants will furnish their own implements. Five jurors or

judges will be selected, three professionals and two amateurs

petitions at the annual tournament lor the championships in
foxing and wrestling, under the auspices of the Amateur
Athletic Union, held at the Metropolitan Opera House, New
York City, on Thursday evening, December 19th.

The management was, as usual, excellent, but the compe-
titions cannot be Baid to have been up to the standard; con-
sequently, the displays weie lacking in interest to those who
appreciate superior exhibitions. A summary follows:

THE AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION.

A meeting of the Board of Managers of the central body
was held at the Astor House, New York City, on Saturday
evening, December 28th, at which some important business
was transacted by the following mem ers: A. G. Mills, New
York Athletic Club; Walter Storm, Manhattan A. C; F. W.
Janssen, Staten Island a. C ; J. E Sullivan, Pastime A. C;
Fred Gerow, American A. C; and A. C. Stevens, New Jersty
A. C. The Committee on Boxing and Wrestling reported
that they had rejected the entry of Patrick Cahill, Scottish
American A. C, lor the recent championship meeting, for
the reason that he had from indisputable evidence received
by them, violated the spirit of the amateur law, and as it was
foreign to the purposes of the Union, to encourage such prac-
tices, they had taken the action they did. The report waB
adopted without dissent The report of the Committee on
Records, to whom had been referred back the application of
George Schwegler, Staten Island Athletic Club, for the rec-
ognition as record of the time made in the 250 yards hurale
race on October 26th, recommended that the record be re-
fused, owing to the hurdleB having been improperly placed.
Report aiopted. The report of the Committee on Organiza
tiou in favor of tabling the resignation of the Berkeley Ath-
letic Club, handed in prior to the diBba.dment of the Old
National Association, was also adopted. The applications
of A. H. Howard, Boston Athletic Association; M. H. Berry,
Young Men's Christian Association of Buffalo, N. Y., aud W.
Houriban, Bridge Athletic Club, for rtinstatement to the am-
ateur ranks, wete favorably considered, while that of H. A,
Launigan of the Caledonian Clnb, of Fall River, MasB., was
rejeeled. The Readiog (Pa.) Atbietio Club was admitted to

Man-
hattan Athletic Club, was addtd to the Committee on Fenc
log. A plan for a series of amateur championship baseball
contests during the season of 1S90 was adopted, and after
the transaction of some additional busmesB of minor impor-
tance, the meeting adjonrned-

A number of changes were made in the rules, the more
important of which are as followB:

Rule 1, relating to officials, provides that all amateur
meetiogs shall be under the direction of one referee, two or
more inspectors, three judges at finish, three or more field
judgeB, three timekeepers, one judge of walking, one starter,
and one clerk of the course. It deemed necessary, one
scorer, one marshal, and an official reporter may also be ap-
X^ointed.

2. The referee only shall have the power to change the
order of events as laid down in the official programme. When
in any but the final heat of a race a claim of foul or interfer-
ence is made, he shall have the power to disqualify the com-
petitor who is at fault if he considers the foul intentional,
and shall hIso have the power to allow the hindered compet-
itor to start in the next round of heats just as he had been
placed in his trial. When in a final hi at a claim of foul or
interference is made he shall have the power to disqualify
the competitor who is at fault il he considers the foul iuteu-
tional, and ho shall also have the power to order a new race
between such of the competitors as he thinks entitled to
such privilege.

3 Provides that the inspectors are merely assistants to the
referee, and aids to him in detecline fouls.

4. A finish shall be counted when any part of the con-
testant's body, except his hands or arms, shall touch the tape
at the finish line.

7. A false st;irt shall prevent the man at fault from com
petiDg in that event. The starter shall also rule out of that
event any competitor who attempts to advance himself from
his mark prescribed in the official programme after he ha-f
given the warning to "get leady."

Protests Bgaiust any entered competitor made verbally to
the leferee at or before the conclosiou of any alhlelic meet-
ing by any responsible person shall, if po Bible, be immtdi-
ately decided by the itfpree. If it cannot be so decided, the
protested competitor shall compete under protest and Buch '

protest be decided by the referee within forty-eight hours,
unless its subject be the amateur standing of the competitor,
iu which case the referee must report such proteet in writing
within forty-eight hours to the secretary.

17. In making a hurdle record it shall be necessary for
the competitors to jump over every hurdle in its pioper posi-
tion. ThiB means that if a man knocks down several hurdles
during the race, and by so doing mokes faster time than he
wculd have made if the hurdles were in their proper posi-
tions, it will not go on record.

18 Makes a fair jump, one that is made without the assis-
tance of weignte, diving, somersoulta, or handsprings. It
sIbo provides that in all handicap jumps scratch mtn shall be
entitled to try laBt.

19. In putting tbe shot the shot shall be a solid sphere
made of metal and weighing at least sixteen or twenty-four
pounds, or as the event may call for. It was formerly pro-
vided that iron should be used. It shall be put with one
hand, and iu making the attempt it shall be aSove and not
behind the shoulder. The competitor shall stand in a circle
seven fe-t in diameter, ou two feet of the circumference of
which shall be placed a board four inches high, at which the
competitor Bhall stand when the shot leaves his hand. A fair
put shall ba one where no part of the person of the competitor
shall touch in front of the circle or on ihe board. A put
shall be counted foul if the competitor steps over the fiont
half of ihe circle or on the board before the measurement of
his put is made. Shot must be furnished by the club giving
the game, but contestants may use their own private shots if
they so desire, in which case the other contestants shall be
allowed to use the private shot. This also applies to the
fifty-six pound weight and the hammers.

After a session lasting till about three o'clock in the morn-
ing the Board adjourned to meet at tbe house of the V\ arrt-n
Athletic Club, Wilmington, Del., January 25lh.

The plan must be submitted to a general meeting of all the
cluba of the Union, thus assuring all clubs then members to
have an equal voice in the ameodment and riual adoption of
the plan. The attention of existing associations of dubs ia
also invited to tbe fact that, at. the last annual meetiog of
the Amateur Athletic Union, its dnsiitution w- s altered eo
as to prepaie the way for this important reoiganization, aud,
among other changes, provision was made for increasing th6
nunmer of memberships of the Amateur Athletic Uuinn
Board of Managers to fifteen, with the understanding that
tbe additional memberships should be reserved for represen-
tatives of existing associations of clubs desiring to partici-
pate with the Amateur Athletic Union in the propo ed reor-
ganiza'iou, and whone present affi'aion therewith will thus
rouke them co-workers"m formiilatu g the plan. The nsgo-
tjation of the details of such affilatiun has been delegated by
t be Amateur Athletic Union Board <_f Managers to its Con-
mittee on Organization.

Applications for or correspondence relating to club mem-
bership in the Amateor Athletic Union should therefore be
addressed to J. E. Sullivan, Secretary Amateur Athletic
Union, P. O. Box 611, New York, N. Y , and all cor^pon-
dence relating to the affil^tion with the Am»ttur Athletic
Union by existing associa'ions of clubs or otherwise designa-
ted athletic organizations should be addressed to A. G. Milh
Secretary Committee on Organization, Amateur Athletic
Union, 38 Park Row. New York, N. Y.

Harry McMillan, Walton Stoini, A. G. Mills, Committee
on Organization A. A. U.

Cross country iuds are very frequent in tae vicinity of
New York City. The participants nearly all agree in saving
that a good cross country does an athlete more good than
two weeks of ordinary training.

THE WHEELMEN.

The next regular meeting of the Oakland Bicycle Club will
be held at the residence of Captain Drake, 1720 Seward St
Oakland, on Tuesday evening, January 14, at 8 o'clock This
club will not be represented at the cointe hive drill in the
Mechanics Pavilion.

The Bay City Wheelmen will be represented by sixteen
men at the drill, and it is thought that this club will carry off
first honors. J

Tbe Alpine Athletic club will apply for admission to the L
A. W.

AT THE OARS.

Several of the crews were out for a spin on Sunday The
fine weather was a genuine surprise to the oarsmen.

Of late there appears to have been considerable dissension
amongst the members of the Ariel Rowing Club. It was in
coNsequenceof this that so many of the members left and
jjioed the Alpine Club.

The Alpine Athletic Club will apply for admiBsion to the

Pacific Rowing Associaiion at the next regular meeting of thai

body. The following oirsmen have been eleoted delegates

O. Farrell, Henry Tank and J. F. Bean.

H

On account of the charter being re-opened several rowinc
cluba not already in the Pacific Rowing Assaciation have an-
pled for admission. From present indications great interest
wi'l be taken in rowing during the coming season

The Lurline Club is fust ooming to the front and mav prove
a thorn in the sides of the older cluba before the year'is out.

Captain George W. Jnr.au of the Olympic clnb is a very-
hard worker in the interest of 1 i i dub. A ready he has
started in to urge his men to commence training tor May 30
He claims to have a man on his team who can put the shot 40
feet, throw the 161b, hammer 120 feet, and ding the 561b
weight 28ft.

During the past few months we have received aevearl com-
munications in regard to the P. C A. A. A. Some of the
lett«i we dtpDBited in the editio id wasteparer basket Bim-
ply becausa they w.re too exaotlv on the officers of the'asso
oiaiion. We will a 'mit during the past rear athletics were
poorly patronized and can scarcely blame the officers of the
P. C. A. A. A. for their want of interest in athleiic matters
The new year, however, promises we 1 and tbe P. C A A A
will be called upon to transact some very imnortant buBiness
during the coming season. There is no reason why the in-
door tournament bobeme should be abandoned. The asso-
ciate clubs would most apsorely take on active interest in the

It was quite a delightful BigLt to see the large number of
breeders who were in the city Wednesday to atlend the meet-
ing of their association. It g es to show that there is a great
deal of interest manifested among members, and that it will
untimateiy be the leading organization of the west, there can
be no doubt.

The citizens of Lodi have about finished their new race
track, and good anthorities say that it will be one of the best
winter tracks in this State. If the committe have been for-

Great Scott! A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Ed. Bither will start from Racine to join forces with the
Valensin Stock Farm about the first of March. Mr. Bither
is one of the clcne mouthed fcind and all the gossipers could
find out was that be had received a large offer from a Califor-
nia breeder. The Breeder and Sportsman was the first
newspaper in the country to Btate positively that the noted
reinsman would make his home in California.

Our Chicago contemporary has been deceived; there is no
such horse in existence.

I have received the following note which speaks for itself:
"My mare Mnllie McCarthy by Eugene Casserly|foaIed bav
horse colt by Woodnut Dec 28th five days before her time*.
She was very old and paralyzed and was never able to get up
after tbe birth so I distroyed her but saved the colt by put-
ting it on another mare who has a colt 3 months old. She
took to It at once and is as crazy after it as tboogh it were her
own. The Graves mare (owned by D. Minnie my neighbor)

L. H. Hatch, of Hanibal, Mo. J. A. Dustin aud C. W. Aby
visited the stock Farms at Pleasanton on Thursday last.
At different times Mr. Salisburg has owned some very faat

to be Been there, the merits of tbe many fast ones were dis-
cussed, Gold Leaf 2:11£, Director 2:17, Corette 2:17. Nellie R.

good words said for them. By the way there are very
few breeders in the country that have had so many
first diss ones.

Tbe advertisement of the Guenoc Stock Farm-appears this
week and the fatnilar names of St. Savior and Greenback are
once more seen in tbe columns, At the last state fair the
farm was fortunate enough to obtain first prize for thorough-
bred stallions and the adjoining far.n of Mrs. Langtry, obtain-
ed second premium with Friar Tnck. Dr. C. W. Aby has the
entire management of both farms and is thoroughly compe-
tent to take charge of such Mammoth possessions, having a
great deal of experience. For years the doctor was at the
Nontana Stock Farm In Kenrucky and is thoroughly conver-
sant with every thing that appertains to such busineBH. Read
the advertisement and send word to the Guenoc Stock Farm
how many mares you are going to send to the gilt edged
stallions.

The common complaint among smaller breeders was that
the P. C. T. H. B. A., in arranging their stakes last year, did
so for the benefit of the larger breeding farms. Without ad-
mitting this to be a fact, we will say that this vear no suoh
complaints can be made. The new Board of Directors will
offer oolt stakes as follows:

Free for all. Yearlings. Mile dash.

" 2-year-olds

'* 3-year-olds

" 4 year-olds

3-year-olds that have not beaten 3 minutes.
4-year olds " " " " 2:40 "
And for the three and four-year-old colts of stallionB who
have no representatives in the 2:30 list.
Lookout for the advertisement n?xt Saturday.

This office will pay Twenty-five
Cents for copies of the Breeder
and Sportsman of the following
dates: January 26, 1889; April 6
1889; July 27, 1889; and for two
copies of August 10, 1889, and
will deem it a favor if readers who
do not care to preserve files jwill
forward the numbers mentioned.

Ensilage lor Sheep-

The London (Eog.) Farm-r and Stock Breeder remarks
that ensilage p'ove* to b* good food for ewes in Iamb. I*s»
year on tbebome farm of tne Eirl of Bective, at Uoderly the
exfi w-re fed from early in December lill February 1 on a
f*w eweles on pasture, a little hay, and ooe-balf pound of
oats daily. The swede* then failed and 145 ewes received mi
March 1st lOcwt, daily of chopped clover ensilage with the
same quantities of hay and cats. Then the lambs began to
fall and the ewe' received the ensilage as before, mixed with
four stonc-of brao, one piund of oats each, daily, and hay, of
■which last however tbev took very little. They did exceeding-
ly well on this mixture, on which both, ewes and lambs con-
doned to be fed till they all went to the butcher fat.

The Physiology of Breeding.

M* James Howard, who was considered good authority on
the phvsiology of breeding deemed tbe following cardinal
points fully established in breeding.

I. That from the malepareot is mainly derived the exter-
nal structure, configuration aod outward characteristics, also
the locomotive system of development.

1 From the female parent is derived the internal structure,
the vital organs, and in a much greater proportion than from
tbe mal<=, the constitution, temper and habit, in which en-
durance and "bottom" are included.

3. That the purer tbe race of tbe parent, the more cer-
tainty there is of its transmitting its qualities to the offspring:
ssy two animals are mited, if one is of purer descent than the
other, he or she will exercise tbe mo-tt influence in stamp-
ing the character of progeny, particularly if the greater puri-
ty is on the side of tbe maie.

4. That apart from certain disturbing influences or causes
tbe male if of pure race, and descended from a stock of uni-
form color, stamp? the color of the offspring.

5. That the influence of the 6rst male is not unfreqnently
protracted beyond the birth of the offspring of which he is
parent, and his mark is left upon subsequent progeny.

6. That is the transmission of disease of the vital organs
is more certain if on the side of the female, and diseases of
the joints if on the side of the male parent.

The Poultry to Keep.

The breed to keep is what you need. We know the qual:
ties of the Jersey, the Guernsey, the Alderney and the Here-
ford cattle. We know when we want butter what breed to
select, and what is needed when merely a milk market is de-
sired. We know the qualities of the Berkshire, the Poland
China and the Chester White hogs. We know when we
want pork what breed to get. In short, in all live stock we
know the fitness of the one kind in preference to another.

Si it is with poultry. We know that tbe Houdan, the
Spanish, the Minorca, and the White Leghorn all lay large,
white eggs and many of them. We know the Plymouth Eock
the Langshan and the game lay brown eggs and manv of
them. If our market wants a white egg we have it. If it
wants a brown rgg we have it. If we want to furnish a table
fowl, we know the qualities of an Asiatic class — the Brahmaa
the Cochins and the Langshans. And so we single out.
Let there be an object for every poultry farm. Better have
one good object and fully carried out than two objects and
only half done. Keep one variety if possible. It will be
more satisfactory. You will know your birds sooner. Suc-
cess comes the quickest to the man who knows what he is
about. Above all things, however, commence at the lowest
round of the ladder andclimb up.— [The Homestead.

AgaiDst DehorniDg.

A correspondent of the Kansas City Drovers' Telegram
writes:

The dehorning of cattle in this country appears to have
met with general favor, judging from the popular vain which
has recently spread all over the country, but in as mnch as
the writer has ever contended that it was a cruelty imposed
upon cattle thit was not jnstified by tbe results, and that
it is barbarous in the extreme. It subjects the animal to
great pain and misery, irom which no adequate results com-
ineosnrate with the attending cruelty can pos-ibly arise. It
will no doubt be of interest to mtny of your readers to learn
of some of the objectiona' 1h points nrged against this bar-
barons piacice. by au old and well known feeder and stock
raiser, Mr. W. Edwards. His evidence being all the more
valuable on account of being given from actual experience.
I viaited Mr. E (wards' farm to-day upon wbich he has a
large number of cattle, several hundred of which he has on
full ft-ed. He has all the modern feeding arrangements ana"
appliances, incladiog the b--st of running and well water.
Mr. Edwards bad a large number of nice steers dehorned
last Spriug, mostly three year olds; others of the same eg*
were allowed t<- retain their horns. These cattle were all
D i tha same way, patrured the same aod pot on corn early
in September. The cattle with horns are now fat, while
those that were deprived of their horns are onlv in lair con-
dition. One particular lot of these cattle Mr. Elwards
bo right la-»t spring, which he says we-e extremely thin in
lleih. At the time he had the others dehorn*-d tbe thin cat-
tle were not dehorned. They now have at leat-t 100 pounds
more fat than the cattle which were dehorned. Mr. Ed-
wards declares it to be bis belief that the process takes away
rbesena-B of tbe animal Tbe gentleman above referred to
says bin cattle that were dehorned are hard to drive or han-
dle. They appear to have lost their intelligence, common to
ordinary cattle. In support of this theory I will offer Mr.
I. G. Pryor'n testimony. In conversation with him on the
subject of dehorning at Arkansas City he bad bought a drove
of Texas cows, which bad been dehorned. He said they din"
not appear to have a particle of H-nse about being driven or
handled. Mr. P. seemed to think that the cutting off their
h'.rriH :iod exposing a large cavity in each side of the head
affiled their animal senses. The writer has no special de-
sire to cast discredit on any system that will add to the
wealth of the country or tbe community of the farmer*, bnt
when knowledge comes to his notice through the reliable
channels of actnal experience of practical feeders, demon-
strating tbe fallacy of a cnx-l craze wbich has taken possess-
ion of the country, not only carrying witb it a practice akin
to the usages of barbarians, but brings with it untold losses
to the cattle interests of the country. He feels that there
can do harm grow out of tbe layiDg of these facts, as obtained
from reliable sources, before tbe feeding and cattle raising
publio for their deliberate and close investigation.

Carelessness About Utensils.

One of the most dangerous g*rms that can infest milk is
that found in old rotten milk in the seams, jnnts and cor-
ners of pail*, and in and under tbe maDy patches of tinkered
up miik fixings. Old butter fowls and old wooden churns
are as a rule cooked full of fats th*t for ten or thirty years
have been nests for tbe propagation of these bacteria The
only plan to pursue is to have as little patching and mending
done as possible in dairy uten&ils. Discard at once all sus-
picious machinery and get new. Thousands of tons of but-
ter tnat now finds final sale at the soap-maker-* was well
made, but the utensils were old and germ-ladt-n with more or
less of these enemies of good produce, a- d as soon as the
butter was made they commenced their destructive ferment-
ing and corroding, and went faster than freight or express
trains, and when the butter reached tbe market it was worth-
less for food. Had this butter been made in new and well
cared for apparatus it would have reached market a pride to
t he-maker.

White Fowls.

We do not hear much of late years on the delicacy of white
fowls, although stock breeders and farmers underrate white
horses and cattle. This question of color has been handed
down to ns from ancient times, but whetberthere is a solid
and unquestionable foundation for such a general opinion
we cannot say. Early writers undervalued white fowls,
white horses, white dogs, white cats and white cattle, and
even modern naturalists have shared in the same discrimin-
ating belief. If the animals and domestic fowls of extremely
cold countries naturally tend to gray or grayish white color
the question arises. Is this a provision of nature to escape the
sight and pursuit of enemies, or is it a warmer color for en-
during cold? This question can be di-eussed pro and con;
the information solicited would bring us back to the starting
point. Many of our fanciers who held such a prejudice a
few years ago would perhaps say to day that it is like many
other things — an old fogy notion; that the proof is in our
present white varieties of fowls, which for hardiness, con-
stitutional vigor and other useful points are the equal of the
colored varieties.

Ic matters not whether this old saying is true or false; ideas
often become reversed by the force of circumstances. Irre-
pressible popularity has set in for the new while varieties.
Fanciers and non-fanciers take up their breeding; they show
all the good points of their colored relatives; give like satis-
faction so far in their culture; they meet the demands of the
trade; there is nothing specially noticeable about their vigor,
hardiness, prepotent faculties and staying productiveness
beside colored varieties. Tben why ought they not to be as
good for all practical purposes as the colored ones?

One sometimes says that white fowls are more easily seen
by hawks, and for that reason they are not so well adapted
to rural life. This may be true in general, but our experi-
ence witb white fowls and hawkB is the very reverse. Some
years ago we lived in the suburbs, and were breeding VVhire
Leghorns, with four or five colored breeds. They had foil
range of eight acres, and hawks were very plentiful and de-
structive. In a troop of twenty to fifty, half and three-fourths
grown chickens, white and colored, almost invariably the
hawks selected the colored birds from the flocks. Thu was
not for one Beason, bnt for four years. We often sat under
the shade of a tree and watched the wily bandit pass over tbe
white birds and snatch up a colored one. Tbe black chick-
ens also seemed to escape comparatively well. We reasoned
thus: The white is an unusual color; it is not the color of
birds that become the prey of hawks: seen at a distance the
outline is not so marked; the reflection of light gives to the
bird a large appearance, and the hawk naturally selects birds
which come near to the color of the wild game. Of course
we do not pretend to say there is much logic in this, but the
facts as they came under our observation remain the same,

We do not encourage any one to quit breeding colored
varieties in hope of profiting by getting white ones. It is a
matter of taste or speculation to choose white in preference
to other colors. In the white there is nothing artistic; no
colors, shades or lines, markings, pencilings or lacings. The
whole plumage is taken in at a glance, but still a white plum-
age leaves a pleasing impression on the mind. For lawns or
nicely kept grass runs a flock of white fowls is a beautiful
sight. When the plumage is in good condition they look
clean and neat. The contrast of a rich red comb, face and
wattles, yellow or flesh-colored beak and legs with the plum-
age and green grass, the shading trees and other natural sur-
roundings commands admiration. In the matter of utility,
tbe white birds will be fonnd as valuable as tbe colored; iu
matter for breeding they are much preferred, and for market,

Notes.

What the cause of it is cannot be stated, but it is an under-
stood fact that the catt;e and horse business of Nevada is on
tbe decline and is being gradually superseded bv the gbeep
industry. This is vonched for by a correspondent of tbe Re-
no (Nev.) Gazette, who says: "It will not be long until the
bands of cattle aud horses that have roamed over all eastern
Nevada for tbe past thirty years or more as free commoners
will only be known as a matter of history and that catile
rai-irjg will be chiefly confined to the home ranches and that
hereafter eas'ero Nevada will be noted for its immense flocks
of sheep, ai it h«s been in the past for ifcs Immense bands of
of cattle and horses."

The Las Vegas Stock Grower of the 28th, says: Dr Thorn-
ton, of the Perrin Landg& Cattle Company, re'urued recently
from San Francisco He thinks the California market for
northern Arizona stock is getting better. His sod G. P. is
shipping 22 carload* from Williams to Sun FrancUco. Siep-
hen Bow, of Garland & Koas. is shipoiog from same place to
Los Angeles. The Aztec Co. is shipping J2 cars to Jones &
Co.

Several prominent cattle men in Southern Oregon have
tried stall feeding this winter and are so satisfied with tbe
results that there will be a greater number of stall fed cattle
there in future

The council of the SmitbtMd Club England have adopted
a rule that if dentition is inconsistent with the ages given in
the form of entry the stewards must disqualify, and to meet
the mutter of forced dentition they have fixed a limit under
which rnle fonrteen animals in the cattle classes weredisqual-
itied at their late show including some Birmingham prize
winners.

Official receipts of cattle at Chicago for the first eleven
montbs of the year were 2 773.615, or 374.000 head more
than duriDg the same period of 1838. The receip's at th»t
point for the year will p--ove hy far the greatest on record.
So also of she^-p with 1,674,506 received up to December 1-

* Mason Valley, Lyon County, is suffering from a surplus of
hay, very few cattle having come into the valley to feed this
winter, owiDg to the low price of beef.

Cattle and sheep have suffered all over during the late
storm. Sin Luis Obispo has been particularly unfortunate
in that respect.

H. Abel, a prominent Mi I pitas butcher, killed a six-year-
old Devon aud Shorthorn steur, live weight 2,785 pounds,
dressed 2,185 pounds The steer was raised and fed" by Mr.
Abel, and was probably the best and heaviest ever killed in
that section of the country.

Del Norte is getting to be one of the best dairy counties in
the State. During last year eighteen dairymen, who, accord-
ing to the Record's account, milked 1336 cows during the
past year, and made 199.095 pounds of butter. The 18
dairies occupy 1685 acres of land.

The loss of cattle at Dutton's Lindiog, Solano county, will
probably be very large. Seven or eight hundred head of
catile are on the island, with veryliitle chance of saving
ihem, as about two miles of levee is washed away.

In 1889 there were 43 sales of Shorthorns in England, 2,323
head in all were sold for £76,571. In 1888, 1.594 head were
sold for £44,013. The average in 1889 of £32,193 is the
highest since 1885. The Duke of Devonshire?, selections
from his celebrated herd at Holker, bad the best average,
viz., £104.13. Tho highest price made in the year was
£535 10, at the late Sir K. Loder's sale at Whittlebury.

There are about 27,000 abeep and 10,000 horses and cattle
in Eagle Valley, Oregon, and the Oregon Blade says thai
there is only about 500 tons of hay left, the price for which
iB $6 a ton, and if the cold snap continues it will probably
go np to $10 or $12.

According to the Live Stock Journal Almanac, thirty
Short-horn sales were held at the residences of British breed-
ers during 1889, at which a total of £46.532 was realized for
1348 head, being a general average of £24. The highest sin-
gle price was 510 guineas; the lowest, 3 guineas.

A convenient arrangement for scalding hogs is a box with
a sheet-iron bottom placed over a furnace; the top of the box
should be on a level with the cleaning table, and the fire can
be regulated to keep the water at the desired temperature.
The box should be of sufficient length, depth and width to
admit it to be turned from one Bide to the other without
throwing out the water.

If it costs no more to feed blooded fowls than common,
what economy is there in keeping the latter? Many imagine
that the care bes'owed upon the finer strains of poultry
makes them much harder to breed and keep, and this extra
labor never pays. You make a mistake if you think this way.
Experience will teach you the wisdom of breeding choice
blooded stock, and why it pays best. Farmers can do no
better than test this matter thoroughly and be satisfied that
this advice is worth heeding.

We are pleased to chronicle tbe fact as showing tbe grow-
ing market of all our finely bred stock, whether it be hogs,
cattle, sheep or poultry, that by the last steamer to Japan,
some $200 worth of finely bred Bciff Cochins were shipped to
Tokio.

Mr. Williams, the well-known Walnut Creek butcher,
bought two Polled Angus cattle of the Cook Farm, a two-
year-old steer and a three-year-old heifer, weighing 1,380 lbs
each. The local ranchers are said to have been bo impressed
with the appearance of the cattle that they may be expected
to join the pure bred brigade.

Texas is moving to corral if possible the "Big Four" in
Chicago, who squeeze all profit out of beef and leave the
stack eTower notbing. Her ca'tle men have called an inter-
state convention to meet at Fort Worth March 14, 1890.
Prices have declined GO per cent., but consumers pay the
same old rates. The Texans say that, estimating tbe annual
consumption of meat in the United States at 10 000,000 head,
wbich is equivalent to one animal for every six and a half of
our populauon, we are losing the enormous sum of $200,-
000,000 annually, which goes to a very large extent into the
bands of fonr men who are known as "The Big Four" of
Chicago.

Among the many stockmen in the State who have snffered
heavy losses from the rains, none have met with harder luck
than Col Irvin Ayres, who took twelve hundred heid of cat-
tle to Marysviile iu Septemher and rented good pasturage,
including alfalfa, at an exborbitant price, only to have the
river drive his ca'tle out of all the alfalfa and have to pur-
chase hay, etc., besides retarding the feeding of tbe cattle.

Taking the whole area of the United States, the farm lands
comprise 289 acres in every I.OOO leaving 711 acres nnoccn-
pied. Of the former quantity 153 acre-* are productive, 103
woodland, and 33 unproductive, tbor.gh partly susceptible of
improvement.

( |The Birmingham (England) Fat Stock Show was notable
for the well bred cattle entered by the Upper Ten, who were
very Hucce-sful all round. Nearly all the highest honors
were woo by the Queen, who s-nt nine bullocks from Wind-
sor, with wbich she won four first prizes aod two s^con^s.
Her Mnje*ty's triumphs did not end here, as she hIso won
tbe special prizes given for tbe best of the Hereford and
Shorthorn breeds, while, crowning irinmpb of all, her Short*
born then louk the Elkington ChHllenge Cop of a hundred
guineas, given for tbe best bulb ck in all tbe classes. This
is the first time that Her Majesty has won this champion
prize at Birmingham, although she has gamed a similar dis-
tinction at the Smithfield Club Show, but the triumph wonld
have been more complete if the animal had b^en bred at
Windsor, for in this cane it wonld also have won the prize of
£25 given by Lord Burton, who is President for tbe year, to
the best bullock bred and fed by the exhibitor. The Prince
of Wales sent some cattle and sheep from Sandringham.'bnt
the only prize he won was a second with a pen of South-
down sheep. Among the other successful exhibitors were
tbe Duke of Portland, whose Shorthorns seem to be as formi-
dable as his racehorses; Lord Coventry, who is invariable
tad to beat, with his Herefords; Colonel Henry Piatt, who
exhibits pome splendid specimens of tbe Welsh breed; tbe
Duke of Hamilton, who U to the front with his black pigs;
and Lord Tredegur, and Sir John Swinbnrne, who, like the
Duke of Portland, send Shorthorns of the purest type.

Ban Francisco, Saturday, Jan. 11, 1890.

The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake.

"When the Breeder akd Sportsman Futurity Stake was
first proposed, one or two of the timid breeders predicted
that it would be a failure. "The State was too young
to guarantee $3,000, and only misfortune could possibly
arise to he who wa3 foolhardy enough to attempt it."
was one remark overheard, but we wanted to show to
the breeders of other States that California is much more
prolific iu breeding farms than many are aware of. The
number of well bred brood mares in California was what
we figured on from the start, and the number of entries
prove that our theory was correct. Those who only have
two, three or four mares have responded nobly, and we
assert without fear of contradiction that the Breeder
and Sportsman Futurity Stake is the most successful
ever instituted. Four years ago the New York Spirit of
the Times started one, and there were represented States
fiom the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Canadian border, the total number of en -
tries being 307. A summing up shows a total of 284
entries iu the Breeder and Sportsman Stake, of which
273 are from the State of California alone, six being from
Kentucky, four from Colorado, and one from Oregon.
We are more than gratified at the result, and hasten to
thank our many friends for their cordial support in mak-
ing the stake a success.

By going over the list it will be Been that twenty-nine
Sidneys are nominated, while the friends of Director fol-
low closely with twenty-eight. Eros has nineteen rep-
resentatives and Noonday has eleven, these being the
only four to touch double figures. Guy Wilkes has nine
and Alfred G., Alexander Button, Simmocolon, Alcazar
Secretary and Memo have six each. Those having five
to their credit are Strathway, Mambrino Wilkes, Morti-
mer, Eclectic, Apex aud Stamboul. The stallions having
four each in the liBt are Soudan, St. Nicholas, Clovis
Superior, Sable Wilkes, Anteeo, Mountain Boy, Dexter
Prince and Electioneer. Those having three are James
Madison, Florida, Prompter, Nephew, Woodnut, Gran-
dissimo and Woolsey. There are two each accredited to
Steve Whipple, Albion, Will Crocker, McKinney, Leo
Wilkes, Stanford, Sterling, JeBter D., Figaro, Aptos
Wilkes, Palo Alto, Azmoor, Piedmont, Redwood, Tom
Benton and Gaviota. There are single entries of the
progeny of Advocate, Volo, Coligney, Billy Thornhill
Steinway, Chas. Derby, Balkan, Hawthorne, Campaign,
Danger, Antinous, Linda Vista, Grand Moor Jr., Son of
Director, Arbitrator, Signal Wilkes, Adrian. Antee Up,
Altauiont, Junio, Whippleton, Guide, My Guy, Happy
Prince, Wild wood, McCafferty's Nutwood, Prince Impe -
r'wl, George Washington, Albert W., Alcoua, Linwood
T hilosopher and Daly. The most fashionable families
i ra represented, and speed is firmly implanted in each

and every entry. The reader can easily imagine what
the produce from Trinket 2:14, and Stamboul 2.124;
should be. There has never been an entry in the world
to equal that, and it is with pardonable pride that we
call attention to it.

The first entry was received from Wilbur Field Smith
of Sacramento, and the last from H. T. Rudieill of
Los Angeles, the terrible storms having delayed the mail
from that section. We congratulate those who have en-
tries in the first Breeder and Sportsman Futurity
Stake, and trust that the winner may be fast enough to
add additional laurels to the wreath of our glorious
State.

The State Agricultural Society.

The parent organization of all the California Agricul-
tural Societies has branched out, and will give an early
spring meeting for the running brigade, the entries
for which are so large that a most successful meet-
ing is assured. In the present issue the declarations
made on January 1st are given, and there is also an ad_
vertisement asking for entries in the new Btakes. The
first is named after the well known president of the asso-
ciation, Christopher Green, and is an all aged handicap,
$50 entrance, half forfeit, with $500, added. The dis-
tance is a mile and a quarter, and with the liberality dis-
played by the society should have a large list of entries.
The second of the new events, has been christened the
Spring Stakes, for three-year-olds $50 entrance half
forfeit and there is $400 added. The distance is a mile
and should also bring out a large field, the many two-
year-olds of last season, insuring a plentiful supply of
three-year-olds.

The secretary Mr. Edwin F. Smith has also forwarded
to this office a list of the entries for the Occident Stakes
of 1892, as well as a list of those who have made second
and third payments in the same stake for 1891 and 1890.
The effect of the Breeder and Sportsman's Futurity Stake
is apparent in the large list entered for the 1892 Occi"
dent Stake.breeders realizing the fact that these colt
stakes are productive of immense good and they have
sent in the nominations with a lavish hand. All of the
principal farms are represented and & number of new
names are also seen on the roll.

The Hamlin Sale.

Among the new advertisements this week is one from
Peter C. Kellogg & Co. of New York, in which they an-
nounce to our readers that they will shortly offer for
sale a consignment from the breeding establisnment of
J. C. Hamlin. That gentleman has been one of the fore-
most breeders of later days, and has always been pro-
gressive. In offering a large number to the public at
auction he has judgment enough to know that only the
very best will pass muster from Village Farm.

The catalogue will include brood mares in foal, young
stallions, colts and fillies of high winning and campaign-
ing strains, bred for beauty, style, finish and soundness,
as well as for speed. The owner especially invites a
comparison of the animals of his own breeding offered
in this sale with any lot that has been placed upon .the
market by any other noted breeding centre.

The bro"d mares to be sold are stinted to Hamlin's Al-
mont Jr, Mambrino King and Chimes (son of Electioneer
and Beautiful Bells), and some of them are so good in
quality that the buyer will have a reasonable chance Of
securing in the prospective foal, if a stallion, the equal
of his sire, or if a trotter developed for speed, a Belle
Hamlin, a Prince Regent or a Sunol.

The colts and fillies by Almont Jr. and Mambrino
King will not suffer in comparison with any correspond-
ing lot that can be found in the Almont and Mambrino
Patchen families. Those stallions may justly claim to
have surpassed their distinguished Bires in the stud and
to mark a stage of improvement in the progress of their
respective families. The colts and fillies offered in this
Rale, therefore, give every promise of enriching their
buyers in the future, as the colts and fillies of Almont
and Mambrino Patchen have in the past.

Send to the auctioneer for one of the catalogues.

Kidd, Edmonson and Morse Sale.

At the request of a large number of prominent breeders
and to avoid dates claimed by other sales, Kidd, Edmonson
and Morse have changed the datfiB of their great Chicago sale
to Maroh 17th to 23rd inclusive, entries for which close Feb.
20th. This is destined to be the greatest sale on earth, be-
cause Chicago is bo centrally looated and accessable from
every direction, that every body who will buy a horse will go
to Chicago. «

F. L. Goulding, V. 8, of Mt. Clemens, Mich , eavs tha*
he used the Boyce Wash freely over the body of his horse
and that it makes the joints limber and relieves the tendons
and ligamonts from soreness and fever*

CORRESPONDENCE.

Willows, Oal. January 8th, 1889.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman. — Tour article headed
"A Meeting Necessary," in issue of Jan'y 4th meetB with the
hearty approval of the Directors of the association. The con-
stant conflicting and clashing of dates between the associations
and the different portions of the sta'e, has always resulted to
the detriment, and also to the finaeial detriment, of all. We
think that the only thing to be done is to do as you suggest
in your article. My idea wonld be to form what might be
termed "The Northern Circuit," to cocsist of say Glenbrook,
Marysville, Ghico, Redding and Willows, (and also Red Bluff)
as they will have an association there ready for meeting this
year). I have already, by order of board of directors of this
association, corresponded with the above named associations
relative to the formation of such a circuit.
Yours very turly,

H. V. Freeman.
Secretary, Willows Agricultural Association.

Horse Shoeing:.

Editor Breder and Sportsman:— This is a subject which
has been so well ventilated that I am afraid it will be
somewhat stale to the readers of your valuable paper.

I have often wondered why owners of valuable horses do
not pay more personal attention to the manner in whioh their
animals are shod. It is a well known fact that the majority
of owners of horses do not know anything abont the
way their horees are ill-treated and abused by the persons
entrusted to shoe them.

If they only took the tronble and time to look into the
matter they would be better off as far as horse-fleBh is con-
cerned and also for the welfare of their horses.

The majority of horse shoers look upon the horse's foot as
a block of wood, entirely devoid of sensibility. They little
think that it is supplied with a large amount of blood ves-
sels and oerveB. Did they but take the trouble to ascertain
something about the anatomy and phyaiololopy of the foot,
they would benefit themselves and also their clients.

In the removal of shoes, which should be done once every
month, the clinches should be cut clean and the shoes oare-
fully removed, and not with foroe, as is usually done. In
the case of a horse with thin and brittle wall the nails should
be drawn separately, so as not to damaga the external wall.

The foot Bhould then be taken down to its natural size by
the rasp. The soles and frog should be left intact, remov-
ing only the ragged portion of the frog, to prevent the accu-
lation of dirt. The sole should not be pared out, except in
cases of injury or disease, as nature will remove the exfoli-
ations as they become necessary.

In fitting the shoe, the shoe should be made to fit the foot,
and not the foot the shoe, as is done in the majority of cases.

It is the oommon practice of smiths to shun the necessary
labor required to get an equal bearing for the shoe, to apply
the shoe almost if not quite in a red hot condition, and keep
it there sufficiently long to remove any irregularity on the
wall of the foot whioh may exist.

Little do they imagine the injury they are doing by such
negligence, little do they think what the future result will
be; if they did, the probability is they would desist from this
injurious and pernicious practice.

The shoe, in being fitted, should be applied at a black
heat, and kept on only sufficiently long to ascertain where
the inequalities exist on the wall, and then remove with the
rasp. It is a too frequent practice to use more nails than are
necessary. Five to seven are in the majority of oases all
that are necessary, provided they are properlv placed. Toe
clips are necessary, and should be made of a decent size, not
too small, for in that case they are nearly useless The
clip, when properly drawn up, should supply the place of
two nails.

After the shoes have been fitted and nailed on, on no ac-
count should the external wall be allowed to be touched,
except for the purpose of putting down the clinches. The
rasping of the external wall by the smith, who will remove
more of the crust in one shoeing than nature can produce in
six months, should be prevented. The result of this free
use of the rasp is that in a few months the wall has become
so thin that it becomes almost impossible to keep a shoe on.
This then becomes a nuisance to the owner, and finally ter-
minates in a lame horse.

A few suggestions may be of service to your readers.
Never allow a red-hot shoe to be applied to the foot in fitting
it.

Never permit the sole to be pared out.

Never allow the foot to be cut and carved out, as is so fre-
quently done, in a most artistio manner.

Permit no more nails to be driven than are absolutely nec-
essary, and above all, never let the Bmith apply the rasp to
the external wall.

On a subsequent ocoasion we may make some other re-
marks on this important subject, as I consider it is one which
is to the interest of all horse owners.

Apologizing for occuuying so muoh of your valuable space
I am vours respectfully,

W. Henry Jones,

Fish commission.

The monthly meeting of the Board of Fish Commissioners
was ueld at 220 Sutter street, room 13, on Saturday last.
Presideot Joseph Routier and S cretary J. Downey Harvey
were preseDt. After approval of the minutes the report of
the Chief of Patrol was read and accepted. It was as fol-
lows : —
To the ffynorable the Board of Fish Commimoners.

Gentlemen: — The report of the Chief of Patrol for the
month of December is submitted with the prefatory remark
that the ex eediug iuclemeucy of the weather duriog nil of
the period coveted by the report Das almost prevented butb
illegal tishiug and patrolling. Such cases as wtre in hand
at the time oi the last report have been closely followed np
and no eft'jrt spared to secure convicticns, and it is grati-
fying to record that public sentiment has so far changed un-
der me active administration of your Honorable Board, that
in some portions of the state the proBecators of game and
tish cases receive fair treatmeot from Courts and jariea. The
expeneoce of your deputies is that more justice is to be had
ia non-metropolitan courts than in those of the Urge cities.
The vig tous action of the Board durioa September and
October, with reference to deer skins from which evidence
of sex had been removed has completely broken up the trade
in skins of that description.

Neither the railway, steamship nor sailing lines will receive
or transport such skins.

Deputy Thomas Tuostead, to whom has been assigned the
duty of looking fur such deer hides, lias been unvarying in
faithfulness and has closely watched both the city front abd
the commission houses, beside occasional visits to tanneries
and other pUees where hides are handled.

I feel sate in reporting that not one deer skin from which
evidence of sex has been removed, nor one doe akin or fawn
skin has been received at San Francisco during the month
last passed.

This result has been reached without antagonizing either
tanners or commission merchants.

Io every case where arrests and prosecutions have been
ordered by the Board, the outcome lias been assurances of
abstinence iu future from illegal trade and proffers of assis-
tance in carrying out the purposes of the Board of FiBh Com-
missioners.

Io no case has malice, nor an undue desire for pecuniary
reward been allowed to influence the action of your deputies
in pushing prosecutions.

Strictly legitimate efforts only have been permitted and the
fact that principle a'oue moved the Board has at a'l limes
been impressed.

On December 5th, with three deputies I went to Martinez
to prosecu'e 3 Chinese arrested on Nov. 21st for catching
small fish with bag-nets. After considerable trouble in se-
curing a jury, because of technical objections interposed by
the attorneys fur the defense, the cause went to trial before
Justice M. W. Bailhache and a very thorough investigation
which occupied three dajs was had. On December 9tb Judge
Bjilbache fined the men §100 each, ou the tirst charge, using
bag-nets.

On December 11th before Justice Joachimsen in San Fran-
oibco the case of John H. Wise accused of having in posses-
sion deer skioB from which evidence of sex had been removed
was tried and submitted. Mr. Wise strenously disclaimed
all intention to violate; the cm* law, and knew nothing of
the d^er skins which were the immediate cause of prosecu-
tion. Judge JoachiniBeo in dibinUsing the case remarked
tnat he felt disposed t^ be lenient for the reason tbaE only
recently had any systemalio effort been nude to break up
what he believed w*s an illegal trade in de-r skins, but he
added that if Mr. Wise was again brought befora him upon a
similar charge and the evideLce wss such as to warrant con-
viction the penalty impose i woud be a very heavy one.

The case of the PtOp'e against Clay burgh & Waldeck, hide
dealers, for having deer skins from which evidence of sex
had been removed was tried before Judge Kix at San Fran-
cisco on December 12th..

The evidence was clear and conclusive, hut the Judge dis-
missed the case with the remark that he thought "the men
who killed the deer and removed the evidence of sex should
be prosecuted rather than merchants who merely handled
the hides in the way of trade."

It might be remarked in this connection that possession
was made a misdemeanor for the very purpose of securing
convictions; it being impossible to deteot any hide-hunter in
the actual killing and skinning of deer.

Fortunately, few judges coincide with Judge Rix in his
interpretation uf the section of the Penal Code in question.
The work of some of your deputies in outlying districts
merits especial mention.

In Howooldt County Deputy A. T. Smith has been very
active. His especial province is the prevention of the illegal
killing of deer and during the mouth he has made thirteen
arrests of woich bat three have been acquitted. Two of the
acquittals were for killing a doe. The sex of the animal and
the killing wer^ acknowledged, but the evidence was that
the aoimat was shot while runniog, at a range of three hun.
dred and fifty yards and the jiry evidently thought there
was a lack of wilfullueas.

The other acquittal was for reasons best known to the
jury, and was nut, dased on the evidence.

On December 11th. at Rihoerville, Humboldt County
Deputy Smith convicted E. S. Philips, a commiBMon mer-
chant for baviug skins wiihont evidence of sex, and Justice
Cloud, of Furtuna, fiied him $50.

Ou the 13th the Bame deputy convicted a man named El-
liott on a similar charge, and Justice Cloud tined him S50

On December 14th five Chinese were fined $150 each at
Martinez for fishing with bag-nets and having small fish in
possession.

December 18th four Chinese were tried at Martinez on a
similar charge and tined $150 each, both trials beine before
Ju^ge Bailhache, and being attended by myself and three
Deputies.

On the 24th three Chinamen were fined $75 each by Judge
Rix iu San Francisco for using Chinese sturgeon lines.

If in proper form, I would like to suggest the making of a
rnle by the Board, requiring all Deputies to send to the Chief
of Patrol monthly reports of the work done, giving full de
tails, names, etc. " The reports should be in hand on a date
not later than the first da? of the succeeding month, in or-
der to permit their collation into prooer form for presenta-
tion to the Board. Res^ectfullv suiunit'ed,

F. P. Callcndax,

Chief of Patrol.
San Francisco, Jao. 4th, 1S90.

A Deputy reported that at the instance of the Board two
hundred dozens of Bob White quail had been ordered from
Arkansas, to be delivered about March 1st, and to be dis-
tributed an ordered by the Board. The matter of introduc-
ing wild turkeys was mentioned but no action taken, al-
though it was Btated that acclimated birds could be pur-
chased at Va! It-jo It was stated that Mr. La Motte of Glen
E len, Sonoma County, had asked permission to take tish
from Sonoma River for hatching purposes and the request
had been granted. Mr. Ramon E. Wilson inquired whether
Mr. La Motte desired merely to stock a private preserve or
public waters. The Board was in doubt whether the fish
were to be placed in some part of Sonoma River or some
other stream. I* was known that Mr. La Motte was inter-
ested in a trout preserve near TJkiah, and the impression
was that the tish were to be taken from Sonoma River to
stock the TJkiah waters.

Mr. Wilson then said that there existed an infamous dam
in Sonoma River, upon which there was no effective fish lad-
der, and the popular impression was that Mr. La Motte
claimed ownership in the dam. If he proposed to stop breed-
ing tish at his dam on their way up the river, take them from
the river and to private waters, Mr. Wilson was opposed to
granting him the permit to do so. He feared that interest in
fish on the part of one who maintained a dam over which
spawning fish could not pass was not Biucere.

The Board then ordered Deputy Woonbury to visit Glen
Ellen and report upon the condition of the La Motte dam or
dams.

The Board then adjourned to meet the first week in Feb-
ruary.

There is a fishpond at Dleano. Cal., which is supplied
from an artesian well. The fish a^e spurted out every day,
and belong to the sanio species as those at Owen's Lake, on
the other hide of the coast range.

You will see by the above that my efforts to have the
awards of the Southern California Kennel Club recognized by
tbe American Kennel Club were not successful. They should
have carried out tbe rule3 to the letter. The club is to blame.
I am sorry for the exhibitors. I did all I could. Yours,

C M. MUNHALL.

[We have not felt at liberty to urge any pirticular course
of action with reference to the Southern California Kennej
Club Show wins for personal reasons, but now that the mat-
ter has been finally disposed of, may be permitted to ask
whether there was any such departure from the spirit of the
American Kennel Club rules as could vitiate the results of a
show to which men went hundreds of miles to exhibit, solely
in the hope of having the wins if they were successful, stand
as records? We Bhall be very pleased to hear from tbe officers
of the Southern California Kennel Club, in order that their
precise position may be generally known and like errors, if
any there were, avoided in fulure. — Ken. Ed.1

Deputy Smith now has Davis & Dtvis of Fortuoa under
arrest upon a liKe charge, and anticipates a conviction.

Justice Cloud, in deciding one oi the casob, said, "When
dealer* who unguardedly purchase deer skins which the law
prohibits them from handling are made to know that they
are paying the peualty for the vandal and illegal acts of those
who kill the dear, an end will be put to the traffic and the
unwarranted slaughter of deer will cease. The only recourse
the de-tier has is to euter complaint agaiust the parties
from whom he purchases."

In Mendocino County, Daputy C. C. Johnson is rapidly
breikmg up illegal fishing, ao 1 is also devoting especial at-
tention to stopping the ranniug of sawdust into the salmon
and trout streams. Daputy Johnson his the warm snpport
of the viriaus i-jfliential newspaper* of Mendccino County
and will beyond doubt, soon be able to report a clean bill
for his county.

At Areata. Juetioe Trnesdale fined Martin Olsen and M
Neilton $50 eaoh on December 19th for catching salmon with
a eeine. The proseoutioa was made by Tbomw H. Selvage.

The North Pacific Land and ImprovementCompany does not
inleod to let the storms of the past two months prevent them
from stocking tbe streams near the Ukian part of Mendocino
county with trout. It was their intention to have had their
tish hatchery on Robinson Creek erected and in running or-
der by the first of Jauuarv, but the htormy weather, which
his now lasted for six weeks, has kppt work there at a stand-
still, and the hatchery cannot be completed in time for this
season's hatching. It is now the intention of the company
to batch their fish this season at Glen Ellen, and ship them
to Ukiah for distribution in the streams. In the meantime
work will be completed on their hatchery at Robinson Creek,
so as to be iu readiness for the next hatching season.

A notable addition to local angliog society is Mr. George
P. Goff, a lawyer, relative of Captain Harry N. Morse. Mr.
Goff has done some very vivid writing about fishing for cur-
rent journals, and contributed to Captain Thomas Chubb's
catalogue for 188S. He is welcomed and commended to the
friendliness of the guild.

J. C. Naltrass' Irish Red Setter bitch Judith by Champion
Brush — Lucille, December 24, 1889; cause, salmon eating.
Clearbrook, Wash., Dec. 30, 1S89.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have just sustained a
loss in the death of my beaotifnl Irish Setter Bitch Judith,
which I will never be able to replace. She was a perfect
specimen and a grand breeder, a bitch of exquisite nose and
great hunting experience, having bred her myself, hunted her
in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Washington Terri-
tory. Three years' companionship made her an almostinsep-
arable companion, but salmon feeding got awav with her.

The Southern California Bench Show.

Mr. C. M. Munhall sends from Cleveland, Ohio, the follow-
ing letter received by him from J. H. Winslow, of Philadel-
phia, with reference to the effort recently made to have the
wins at the first show of the Southern California Kennel
Club recognized by the American Kennel Club. Mr. Win-
slow writes:

Philadelphia, Dec. 24, 1S89.

C. M. Munhall Esq., Cleveland O —Dear Sir:— I sup-
pose you will see in the paper a full account of the meeting
of the American Kennel Club, and if not iu the paper, will
see it in the American Kennel Gazette. Major Taylor and I
did all we could to make the delegates understand that the
Southern California Club held a good show and their award
should be recogDized, but they voted us entirely down. Major
Taylor made the motion to reconsider and I seconded it, al-
though with the true facts before me, I could not conscien-
tiously do i', as the club had clearly ignored the American
Kennel Club, and still ignores it up to this time. The facts
in tbe case are these: They made their application and Mr.
Vredenburg wrote the Secretary a full letter tellh-g him that
he bad thought no douht they would be admitted, and that
their remarks would be reooguized by tbe American Kennel
Club if they held a show tinder their rules. He particularly
poiute 1 out Rule 2 and several others. Instead of holdiug
their show under the Kennel Club rules, they changed the
rules to suit themselves: they did not require exbibitiors to
register their does, and have not sirce seut a marked cata-
logue and several other things which the rules require them
to do. However, as you deBired me to do this, I took great
pleasure in takiug your views of the case and assisting you
all I could. Major Taylor's note and mine were the only two
votes cast in favor of recognizing their remarks.

Yours truly, J. H. Winslow.

Mr. MuahalUdds:

Sam Meriwether cannot aci as Marshal at the coming field
trial, but a vicarious sacri6ce has been found in tbe person
of that herculeam gentleman, Mr. P. D- Linville, who served
with such spirit and ability in 'S3. Linville announces that
he is going down, they "can't stop him'" and the affair is to
a finish. He desires Joe Bassford, Ni^k White and tbe other
frisky boys to understand that he is up to all manner of
tricks and will arrest and tie to a fence post with barbed wire
any spectator caught doing anything without inviting the
participation of the Marshall. He will watch Fred Tcft es-
pecially, whenever that amateur astronomer drives through a
slough below tbe horizon and if Taft attempts to observe any
through that peculiar black equatorial, the Marshall will make
"the punishment fit the crime."

Walter L. Wilder in tbe New York Sun: Iu a recent num-
ber of the Sun I saw a statenisnt that a grev-hound is pro-
bably the swiftest quadruped. But there is an animal on the
Colorado plains which is much swifter. It is the small red
prairie fox, commonly known as "tbe swift." A good grey,
hound will pull down two or three from a bunch of antelopes
but "the swift" escapes readily from him. In tho chase the fox
will stop still and wait until the bound is near him and then
easily distance, and repeat the aame maneuver. It does not
jump like a hound, but runs with a peculiar gliding motion.
I to legs are of medium length and muscular.

Quite a number of the young men of Lower Lake, Lake
County on Monday last shouldered arms, colleoted the town
dogs and sailed forth in regular Qnixotio style in quest of ad_
▼eutnres. They formed in line of battle on the Konocti Vine-
yard about one dozen boys and fonr dogs on one side pitted
against about half that number of rabbits on the other. Af-
ter many skirmishes and such maneuvering on the part of
the rabbits they were finally routed and four of them brought
home in triumph as prisoners of war. A reinforcement of
rabbits aprearing in the Wrey Vineyard tbe luttle was re-
newed the nest day resulting in the loss of two of their
number aDd a complete rout of the remainder. A truce has
been declared pending negotiations of peace.

Local fanciers of pointing f'oga and field trials, who desire
certificates enlitling them to a rfdnoed fare for the trip to
Bakersfietd, can obtain them at 6-10 Market Street from Mr.
E. W. Briggs, who has kindlv consented to keep some for
distribution. "Ned's"' place of business ia quite the center of
the shooting and kennel world, in the evening hours particu-
larly, and many a rich story of flood and field is recited there.

If all of the men who profess an intention to visit Bakers-
Held during field trial week do so, the hospitable town will
be taxed to entertain them. Interest in the trials has crown
year by year, and taken firm hold of a good many, but this
year numbers of sportsmen who have not before manifested
the slightest concern about the trials, are asking for informa-
tion about them, and deolarisg they will attend.

THE GUN",

Recently Philip Hegerman livingon the Cuffey's Cove and
Anderson Valley County Eoad, Mendocino, while out hunt-
ing encountered a large panther, measuring eight feet, which
he quickly disposed of. It had been a terror to surrounding
stockmen for a long time, even extending its stealthy and
rapacious trips to neighbor's house yards.

Two Sonoma duck hunters nearly lost their lives while
hunting in the marshes, south of that place, last week. They
were caught by the tide and had to swim several deep sloughs
to reach terra firma. In this connection the Sonoma Index-
Tribune recalls that a few years ago a young man liviog
near Glen Ellen visited the Sonoma marshes near Embar-
cadero for a day's shooting. He was alone, but was seen to
enter ths marsh near Green's Landing. He never returned,
and from that day to this his fate has been an impenetrable
mystery. It is supposed, however, that the unfortunate
young man became mired down in one of the many treach-
erous blind sloughs that wend their sinuous way through
the labyrinth of the land bordering the shores of San Pablo
bay, and being unable to extricata himself was slowly stran-
gled to death by the incoming tide and eventually sank out
of sight in the soft mud

Blue Bills in numbers have been driven to the marshes
about Mount Eden and Alvarado by recent storms. Mr.
Chrie. Gading of Mount Eden, one of the cracks of that town
of shooters, has been making big bags.

Mr. W. S. Fergason, proprietor of the American Hotel, at
Arbnckle, Colusa Co., called at this office on "Wednesday last,
with the cheering news that on February 20th, an open
shooting tournament will be given at Arbnckle. The first
day the shooting will be open only to Sutter and Colusa
connties, at 12 birds, Hurlingham style, entranoe $10, three
monies. The next day the matches will be open to the State;
purse $35, entrance $15, three monies. Colusa County is
famous for hospitality and those who take part in the tour-
nament at Arbnckle will have reason to remember their visi*
with pleasure.

Lake Margarita, the beautiful little sheet of water adjoin-
ing the town of Santa Margarita on the east, is becoming a
popular resort for pleasure strolls, as well as a frequent
haunt of the local sportsman. There should be a boat put
on the lake, by all means, for general use and pleasure. The
only means of securing the duoks killed any distance from
shore, at present, is to let them float in or swim out after

them.

English hares are becoming so numerous in sections of
New Jersey that farmers there fear they will soon be as great
a nuisance as the sparrow.

The Dix^n Tribune is authority fnr this: A Solano man
who spent the fa'l months in Del Norte Countv, is said to
have killed 200 deer during his stay. Such indiscriminate
p1 .ughter will in a few years exterminate this noblest of game.
There are many hunters in that seotion of the country who
slaughter hundreds of deer in a year for their hides only,
leaving the carcasses to rot.

TThe ahove, from the Breeder and Spor'smau of Decem-
ber 7tb, will be read with greet interest and curiosity by the
readers' of the Record, who would like to know the man who
killed that amount of deer dnring his visit to Del Norte
ConDty. He probably killed three or four deer daring his
stay, and has drawn on his imagination for the rest. — Del
Norte Record.]

fWe hope the Record is right in believing the Btories about
the killing "f great numbers of deer false, but in face of the
fact that deer-hides by thousands come from Northern Cali.
fornia we submit that an ordinary observer is justi6ed in
believing that many more deer are killed than are taken to
market or consumed by the hunters.— Field Ed.]

That most debonrjaire of traveling gun salesmen Mr. Har-
vey McMurchy, writes us that he will not change his busi-
ness relations as to the "L. C. Smith" gun, but will continue
to represent the gun on the road. The news is good news,
and we congratulate the firm which is to manufacture the
gun, upon the retention of so universally liked and useful a
representative as friend McMurchy.

The latter adds to his note:

"Mr. Smith sold his business to the Hunter-Comstock
ArmB Co. of Fulton, N. Y,, retaining an interest. They have
erected a new and much larger plant in Fulton, and retained
all the skilled workmen, who have recently been employed
by L. C. Smith, and with the improved machinery and in-
creased facilities, we shall in the future be able to 611 orders
promptly, which you are well aware we were not able to do
in the past year. The finish of the gun will be greatly im-
proved.

•'I have been called upon to be one of the Eastern team on
the shooting trip given by Mr. C. W. Dimmick of the IT. S.
Cartridge Co., which will take possibly until the latter part of
March, and I may be a few weeks late in calling on you, but
will have the pleasure of doiog so in time for spring trade.

"The name of the new firm for the manufacture of the
famouB L. C. Smith gun will be 'The Hunter Aims Co.'; Mr.
Harry Comstock's interest having been purchased, he is in
no way connected with the new firm. The L. C. Smith gun
only will be made by them. We hav9 now over two thousand
guns in stock and are ready to receive orders at once."

A Detroit dog fancier who was acquainted with a farmer
in Taylor township coaxed him to take home a young dog
and encourage him to hunt. In about a week the farmer
cama in with the dead body of the dog in his wagon aud
calmly observed:

"Here is your dog."

"But he is dead!" exclaimed the owner,

"Yes "

"Who or what killed him?"

"He was out in the field and a rabbit took after him and
run him to death. I was afraid of it when you sent it out.
If you want me to take another, you'd better select an old
dog— one with lots of teeth and used ti dodging/'

'■But, great Scott, man! what sort of rabbits do you have
out there?"

"Not as large as they ought to be, as the locomotives keep
"em pretty badly scared. Run about the size of yearling
hogs^ I gaess, aud us farmers have to carry our revolvers
into the field with us. Expect, any day, when my children
will be carried off and eaten alive."— Detroit Free Press.

In another column can be found the advertisement of
Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., 630-632 Montgomery St..
city, offering "Blue Rock" targets. The firm holds the
sole' agency lor the "Blue Rooks" of which more are used
than of all others together. No more profitable hour can be
passed than one Bpent in the store rooms of Glabrough, Gol-
cher & Co.

Some birds are used medicinally, aud it is well known
what strange ideas native East Indian doctors have of the
virtues of bird flesh. Both the flesh and the brains of the
common sparrow, especially the cock Bparrow, are in great
repute for oertain diseases; do a cagefal of these familiar clat-.
terers is never missing in the market. Certain species are
used in making love potions, and are administered by reject-
ed Buitors to the objects of their adoration. On the other
hand, the blood or the flesh of the owl is feupposed to make a
person insane who drinks or eats it. On this account men
who are devoured by jealousy of a rival or hatred of an ene-
my come furtively to the market, and, purchasing an owl, in
silence carry it home secretly aod prepare a decoction which
an accomplice will put into the food or drink of the object of
their malignant designs.

Che list of uses for bird flesh is not exhausted yet Eating
a crow is supposed to prolong fife by keeping the hair black
aud preventing it from turning gray. The common roller,
often called a bluejayt has certain rites performed over it, and
is then set free after one feather has been plucked from it.
This feather is then worn as an amnlet, and is supposed to
have great potency in averting the evil eye. Anoiher purpose
for which birds are purchased every morning is to be Bet free
again. This ia done by Hindoos as a work of merit, and by
Mohammedans, after certain rites have been performed, as
an atonement in imitation of the Jewish scapegoat. It is es-
sential that a bird used for this purpose Bhould be strong
enough to fly away, but that does not induce tne cruel deal
era to feed their birds or to refrain from dislocating their
wings or breaking their legs. They put down everything to
goou or bad luck, and leave the customers to choose a strong
bird if he can rind one, and to go awBy if he cannot.

The merit obtained by setting a bird -free is not attributed
to the Deity, but is supposed to come iu a large measure
from the bird itself or from its attendant spirit, and heDce
birds of good or bad omen, and especially kites and crows,
are in much demand, and are regularly eaaght to be sold for
that purpose.

BASE BALL.

A big fine looking specimen of manhood jumped up on a
downtown bootblack stand last Snnday night aod iu a tone that
nearly tore theshiverine "8hiner"apart, ordered the dirt re-
moved from his clotheB and shoes. "MynameiaM. U. D., and
that's enough to carry without taking away any of yorr C«l-
ifornia soil", remarked the individual. The party proved to
be the renowned "Mike" Kelly, who made a monkey of nim-
self and played some pretty good baseball for the Boston
League Clnb last year. 'KeP came ont here years ago with
the Xew York Giants and made a small pot of money and
an uneviable name for himself. He was so much thought
of before leaving town on his last visit that a large delegation
were at the ferry landing to throw shoes— filled ones— at
him; before be departed. Besides Kelly, the rest of the
Boston Club which has wintered here in reality have left for
their eastern homes. Most of them arrived in town w.th
good tat pnrses but as thev only played enough games here
to settle their board bills and as iheir origiLal stakrs went
against draw, they will have to get down to opening oysters
or following some other healthy vocation on the>r return
home.

Some one must have been practicing handwriting last
week and accidentally touched on Brotherhood affairs for a
practice specimen. In doing so, he unconsciously touched
upon California baseball affairs. After completing the pen-
manship exercise the writer threw the paper away and some
person evidently picked it up and shipped it to an Eastern
paper, whose editor rnoBt have had an off day, for he pub-
lished it. The spasm went on to say that there was to be a
pocket edition of the Players' League organized here. Mav-
be there is. The Bangups of Cow Hollow ain't goin' to Stan'
enny more guff from dere man'ger. He onlv got dem tree
games Ibs' Sunday, an' dey ain't goin' to have'dat ennvmore
See?" While in the Beauty Bnghts of North Beach there is
even more discontent. This oppression the clnbs of Califor-
nia will not stand. There is too strong a spirit for right in
this glorious State, and these great players would stand up
in their might— and spiked shoes— and fight against the rule
of tyranny. Probably this is where the idea of where a
"pocket edition" of the Brotherhood came from. There is
certainly no more chance for an independent players' league
in California than there is for findiDg gold.watches in bakers'
pies, or any other kind of pies for that matter. The Califor-
nia League people have got a neck hold on the baseball in-
terests here that would take more than the combined efforts
of the handful of players here to shake off. And even
though there was a possible chance for the plavers to com-
bine in some way, they are one and all in such fear of losing
their sit's that they dare not open their mouths for fear of
being replaced by imported or amateur talent.

Someone has suggested that Johnny Mono begin right
a.vay and sign the stBif of umpires for next Betson. What ia
the matter with giving himself the preference? Johnny
would make a good umpire. He knows all about the game
np to the present time, and what he does not know he can
probably pick up in the flag-leaf of Bellamy's Looking Back-
wards."

A good story is told on Mone's knowledge of the national
game. It was several seasons ago. and the battle for firBt
phce in the league race was close between the Pioneers and
Haverlys, as they were then called. The season was fast
drawing to a close, and great interest was manifested in the
games between the two leading clnbs. One Sunday the
clubs met in the presence of a large throng. The Pioneers
had the game well in hand, and Hone was kept busy record-
ing the runs as they came in from the shrill sounding gong.
At last the Haverleys came in for their half of the seventh
inning. It was their lucky inning, and everyone knew it.
Several lucky bits filled the bases, and with ore band out,
Levy came to the bat. He caught the first hall, pitched on
the handle of his bat, and the sphere sailed backwards over
his head and landed in the preEsbox. "Whew, that was a
good hit," yelled Hone. "That was a daisy, and it will win
the game for the Haverlys, sure." When "he saw that Levy
didn't run. and stood at the plate waiting for the bull to be
returned, Johnny relapsed into silence. After the game he
made the inquiry, and was told that a man doesn't run on a

foul. ' Oh, yes; why of course. Ha! ha! Well, will yon

will you have a smile ?" And they smile.

Sacramento has got Zeagler in the East digging up players
for the coming season. He is making great beaowav, and if
his selections are of any account, the capital city team will be
a good, healthy one.

Here is a pointer for some of the managers. This man
Wilmot, of last year's Washington team, is looking for an
engaiemenr. He is a good fielder, a hard hitter, aud would
be williDg to play out here.

Sheridan will undoubtedly be calling off balls and strikes
in the California league the comiDg season. He has had the
offer of an Eastern engagement, and held that out for a raise.
Mone will come to bis terms and Sheridan will stay.

The la9t game of the winter between the Bostons and St.
Lonis Browns, was played off last Sunday, and won by the
Missounans. The Beaneatera were crippled by the absence
of three of their valuable players, whose places were 61led by
local talent. The score of the game is as follows;

For Contracts, elvlne terms and full parlicnlirs, and lor Entry Blank* (state
number of horses to be consigned) address the firm as below.

Buyers who desire to increase their lines of choicely bred brood
mares, or to secure stallions suited to the mares of California,
can, by spending the month of March in New York, have oppor-
tunity to select from hundreds of offerings in our sales, the
choicest blood and the best assortment in the country. It should
be borne in mind that the climatic crosses which have been
most prolific of great results in California (and also in Kentucky)
have been secured in the colder climates of the North and
East. If you are to use a home-bred stallion, obtain mares that
are bred and reared under radically different climatic influences.
If you use home-bred mares get your stallions from widely dif-
ferent climatic sources. While there are exceptions to all rules
the more you study this subject the more irresistable will be the
conviction that the greatest success has most often resulted
from this plan. It is just as important in breeding to obtain a
proper climatic out-cross as to obtain a good blood out-cross.

One or the other seems absolntely necessary to combine both is doubly effective

ANTINOUS,

The Property of James W. Rea, Esq., San Jose.

It is with a feeling of pride we this week draw attention to
the happy effort of onr artist who has depicted a son of the
great Electioneer in his best style. Antinons was foaled in
1882, on Senator Stanford's Palo Alto Eanch, and was bought
by his present owner, Mr. Rea, last May. He is a good dark
bay, standing 15.2J hands high, with an almoBt perfeot head,
good neck, nice sloping shoulders, with good back woll
iibbed np and powerful quarters, long muscular thighs,
short cannon bones and good feet ; his forelegs show Bigns
of wear and tear haying evidently been severely blistered.

His bleeding is exceptional. Electioneer is the sire of Sunol |
2:10J at three years old; Falo Alto 2:12£, Manzanita 2:16, |
Anteeo 2:16£, Adair 2:17i, Lot Slocnm 2:17J, Norval 2:17J,
Bonita 2:18}, Bell Boy at three years 2:19i, Hinda Rose 2:19$
at three years old, Antevolo 2:19}, and many others; in faot,
Electioneer is the sire of forty-eight trotters and one pacer,
and grandsire of nine trotters in the 2:30 list, inoluding Al-
fred G. 2:19|, and the pacer Edwin C. 2:15.

Toronto Sontag is by Toronto Chief, record 2:31, sire of
three and of the dams of four in the 2130 list.

Laura Keene is a siBter to Alban 2:24, by Hambletonian 10,
8ireof41 in the 2:30 list, and grandsire of 721 in the 2:30
list, including Mund S. 2K18J, Jay Eye See 2:10, Sunol 2:10^
St. Julien, 2:lli, and Axtell 2:12. Fanny is by Elton
Eohpse, aire of the dam of Billy Denton, who is the eire of
two and grandsire of three in the 2:30 list.

Such a trolling pedigree is rarely seen, and when backed
up with such good shBpe and make as Antinons has is bound
to tell in the stud aB well nB on the track, Referriog to his
Bpeed, Mr. Chss. Marvin, the courteous Superintendent of

42

'ght fj^xmlzx uml & poxtemmt.

Jan. 18-

the Palo Alto Stock Farm— than whom there should be no
better judge— says he was very promising in yeailing and
two-year-old form, having shown quarters in 0:36 at two
years old, and would, no doubt, have trained on with im-
proving speed, bat his legs failed him somewhat in his two-
year-old season; hence, we let op on his work. Mr. Marvin
also says that his elder sisters showed correBpondirg speed
in 2 3, and 4-year-old form, and winds up by saying Antin-
ous should prove an A 1 sire. Antinons will m»ke the sea-
son at San Jose race track at tne low price of S75 per mare,
and Bhonld be extensively patronized. He is at present be-
ing jogged on the Oakland track by J. W. Gordon, and will
be driven for a reoord after the season.

Mr Miller says that Abdallah in motion was one of the
grandest looking horses that he has ever seen, and that his
record of 2:42 is no measure of his Bpeed, even for these
days when 2:42 was equal to 2:20, or better at the present
time. t W.E.Bean.

Anteeo DeTurk.

Among the 6ne Anteeo coltB in Sonoma County which
merit mention is one bred by Kobeit Crane, ex-Supervisor,
whose farm is on Crane's Creek, seven miles south of Santa
Rosa The colt is named Anteeo De Turk, and was foaled
February 9 1889 He is a handsome dark brown, similar to
his sire, with a white star in forehead. His dam was Min-
nie D, by Alexaodar; second dam Shoo Fly, by General Mc-
Clellin- third dam by Niagara The colt is nearly lo hands,
and the arm measures 17 inches. He is of perfect form, with
a fine head and very fine eyes, denotinsgood disposition and
intelligence. He has been carefully handled on the farm,
but has not been subjected to studious training and is merely
broken to hilter. He has remarkable power and shows
thorough action, with docility and ease of motion. All the
pointe which denote (-peed and endurance are apparent, and
the promiBe is that he will prove a record breaker. Anteeo
De Turk is in every respect a modal colt from his noted Bire,
and his dam is a square trotter of good speed. Mr. Crane is
aDaiostaking breeder, fond of superior stock of every spe-
cies, and his management of his large farm is evidence of
his skill and thrift.

■WBTTTEK FOE THE BHEEDEB AKD SPOET8MAN,

Since this horse is of National reputation, conceded by all
as the best ' breeding on" son of Hambletonian, a few facts
hitherto unpublished will be of interest.

January, 1859, Mr. Jame3 Miller, then of Cynthiana, now of
Paris, Ky.— well known as a breeder of trotters — accompa-
nied by Joel F. Love, went to New York to buy a trottiog
bred stallion. They went direct to Goshen, Orange County,
and stopped at the "hotel of John Edsall, then owner of Ab-
dallah (15). The horse was then seven years old.

On first sight both men, especially Mr. Miller, were
pleased, for Abdallah looked every idcd the king he was,
They tried to get a price, but were told that the horse was not
for sale. Mr. Edsall had also a livery stable, and was win-
tering a great many horses owned in New York City. He
furnished the gentlemen from Kentucky his best horses and
went with them to Bee all the stallions of any note in the
county. On their return he was again asked to price Abdal-
lah, but refused.

As they were starting the second t'me on a more extended
tour, Mr. Miller said: "I notice that the bestmareB here are by
your horse's sire, and since you caunot cross him with his
eiBters, would it not be well to sell him and buy a horse you
can?" ' This Bpeech was the means of bringing Abdallah to
Kentucky. After two weeks spent in vain search for some-
thing to suit, Miller aad Love gave up the hunt and turned
their faces homeward.

Miller said: "let us go by Goshen and try again to buy Ed-
sall'a horse" Love answered: ''it is of uo ubs. be will not Bell
Miller insisted and Love finally consented. Edsall was glad
to see them and asked: "What luck?" The same as before, we
have looked thiB country over and found nothing to suit but
your horse and we are going home without buying." Ed-
sall said: "This will never do; the idea of ooming all the
way from Kentucky and getting nothing is too bad. While you
wereaway I have been thinking of what you said to me about
not beiDg able to breed to the best mares here, and have
concluded to sell the horBe. "Price him at what he is worth,
and we will buy him." "$2,500 js my price." -'We will take
the horBe " We want you to blanket and get him in shape,
and bring him yourself by the middle of March to Kentucky."
This E-lsall agreed to do and fulfilled his contract, spending
Beveral weeks in the blue grass country. Abdallah stood that
Beason (1859) and three others at Cynthiana.

In August of 18R2 Messrs. Miller and Love fearing that he
would be taken by soldiers, took bim to Woodburn, thinking
that there he would be safe as Lord K. A. Alexander was a
citizen of Great Britain. Io the spring of 1803 Mr. Alexander
gave in exchange for him 52,500 in money and a son of Ed-
win Forrest and Flora Temple.

His subsequent history is well known. How be was taken
by soldiers, overheated by excessive riding, made to swim a
river, being allowed to cool suddenly, and chilling to death.

Like the mothers of most great horses, his dam, "Katy
Darling." was more than an ordiuary mare. We propose to
look up her history and pedigree more fully, thiB niuoh iB
now known: — She was by a horss called "Koman", and was
a noted road mare of her day. In 1S50, while being driven
across a railroad track, caught her foot and broke her ankle.
Her owner was about to kill her when a gentleman well ac-
quainted with her greatexcellence, begged for her life, saying
that there were plenty of worthy men who would be glad to
get her, and that he would see that she fell into good handa.
Her ankle got well, but waB always crooked, she was bred to
Hambletooiim. There was a race trotted on the ice for a
new set of fine harness. The owner of "Katy Darling" rode
her (while Abdallah was in ntero) to WitnesB it.

There was lacking one entry to fill, her owner proposed
trotting her if they would allow her to start under saddle.
She won the race with the greatest ease.

If any apology may seem necessary for giving you the re-
sult of several weeks of patient research, it arises from the
frequent innuendoes from those owning none of the blood
of Electioneer, that, as a family, they are not race-horses.
Those who seem to be most persistent in decrying their val-
ue are generally those who have never possessed one. An
intimate knowledge of the Electioneer family, and a desire
to ioform myself of the true facts, led me to a task, which,
had I known its magnitude, would never have been under-
taken. To answer those who have stated that the Election-
eers were not race-horses, and who seem to desire to give the
impression that most of their recordB have been made against
"Father Time," I have selected for comparison that noted
sire, George Wilkes. Not to demonstaate by aDy means that
Geo'rge Wilkes was not the sire of a family of race-horses,
but rather becau3e he is to-day recognized as one of the
grandest sireB that the world has yet produced, induced me
to select him for comparison, and also because he wbb recog-
nized as x^reeminently the sire of race-horses of Bpeed and
courage. The' fact that no one denies the greatness of
Georee Wilkes led me to believe that if Electioneer in com-
parison would show a fair mark it could not but redound to
the latter's credit.

This table has not been prepared with any reference to the in
jury of any horse or family, for I doubt from a causal inspec-
t'on if any family would stand the comparison with Election-
eer as close as the Wilkes family. The tables are published-
with no view of provoking controversy or calling out apolo-
gies or explanations. I simply publish the result of investi-
gation, and with that my labor ends. It becomes then sub-
ject matter for the student who without prejudice, desires to
know the the truth. The tables have been prepared from
both "Chester's Manual" and "Wallace's Year-Book" and
while there may be inaccuracies owing to the hundreds of
columns of figures which have been necessary in its prepara
tion, yet a careful recompilation leads me to believe in their
subtaniial accuracy. I prefer to publish the tables complete
merely for the reason that each one who may own any indi-
vidual named, it a wrong has been done by me in the prepar-
ation of the figures, can easily right it. These summaries are
bo surprising that were I to publish them merely as sunimar
ies their accuracy would be doubted. In this compilation of
the races lost and won no accounts have been taken, either
with the George Wilkes family or thatof Electioneer in con-
tests against time. The contests have all either been with
fields of hordes or walkovers tor nurses in regular ever tsand
in the race average which is made up of the heats won by
each horse in each seperate contest, no figures are taken into
account where the time made was against the watch. The
YeaiB-Books" of 1S89 performances not yet having been pub-
lished will lead undoubtedly to some omissions of contests of
this year.

Percentage lost, 65.40 100. Percentage won 34.60 100.

The analysis of the above show that the 2:30 trotters of
George Wilkes won 34,60-lCO per cent, of all their races.

The Electioneer won 56,79-100 and lost 43 21-100 per cent,
of all tt«r races.

The average recods of the George Wilkes is 2.24.14-59.

The average record of the Electioneer is 2 22.24, 46.

The ayerage race time of the George Wilkes is 2 32 2S 55.

The average race time of the Electioneer is 2.29.19-21.

Had the Electioneers won a large percentage of their races
against inferior horses in slow time their manifest superiori-
ty would not be so great, but the table shows that in order
to win a race the Electioneer had to trot nearly three seconds
faster in every race than was requisite for the Wilkes to win
theirs. In spite of tin fact the summaries show that the get
of Electioneer win 56 79 100 per cent, of all theirs.

Iu comparison with Electioneer my judgment is no family
of great prominence will stand the test so close as the Geo*
Wilkes. However as a student in horse breeding, I should
be extremely grateful to any one who will publish the com-
plete race summaries of other prominent families for the pur-
pose of instituting comparisons, which are based alone upon
absolute contests when the money is up. In this manner
we can most easily determine the value of the racing abili-
ties of any given family. — N. Y. Spirit of the Times.

Communication for Trainers and Drivers.

Percentage lost, 13:21-100, Percentage won, S^'O-IOO.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have for several
years thought that there would be saved to breeders and
owners of trotting bred colts much time and expense, and to
drivers in races much annoyance if, between those who
break the colts and those who train and drive them in their
races, there were an agreement or consistency as to the use
of the words "get up," "whoa, " "goon," "slack up," "take
care," the "chirup," the "cluck," etc. Doubtless all agree
that any one of these words should have but one meaning to
the colt or horse, and that whether beiDg broken to drive or
beiDg driven in a race it should have to him at all times the
same meaning; that if the word "whoa" means that the
horse stop to a standstill while walking, it does not mean that
he merely go slower while trottiDg or walking, or that he go
steadier while trotting. But if the man who breaks the colt
attach to it one meaning and use it for one purpose, and the
oue who traios or drives him in races attach to it a different
or several different meanings, the colt is hardly blamable for
becoming confused in unlearning what has been taught.

I would like lo ask the opinion of the Breeder and
Sportsman and also of trainers and drivers in races as to the
best word to be used to a colt in breaking him for a trotter
when the word is to be used for each of the following pur-
poses: To start the colt from a standstill to a walk; to urge
him from a walk to a trot; to increase his speed at the Irot-
tiug or walking gait; to decrease his speed at the trotting or
walking gait; to bring him from a trot to a walk; to bring
bim from a walk to a standstill? Also to quiet or allay bis
excitement while speeding; to prevent him from breaking?
Hoping that I do not trouble you too much, I am yours re-
spectfully, 0. E. Farnum, M. D.

For colio aud grubs, for lung fever, cough or hide-bound,
I give Simmons Liver Regulator (liquid) in one ounce doses:
or, one teaspoonfal of the powder in a mash twice a day.
You can recommend it to any one having stock as the best
medicine known for the above oomplaints. Id using it with
my chickens for cholera or gapes I mix it with the dough
and feed it to them ouce a day. By this treatment I have

GILROY RACES.

Ida, One of J i*n Mulvena's «clts Scores a Victory.

The racea which were to have been trotted the day succeed-
ing Thanksgiving, but which were postponed on account of
the iDclenieiiey ot the -weather, were trotted at Sargent's
Driving Park, Saturday, Jan. 11th. Though there were a
large nomber on the grounds, the crowd was evidently not
in a mood lor betting as very few pools were sold.

The track was heavy and a stiff breeze was blowing down
the backstretch, which accounts for the comparativeJy slow
time.

In the race for the 2:40 class, there were three entries, viz:
Ida, sired by Jim Mulvena, entered by Chas. Lynch; Harry,
sired by John Seven Oaks and entered by Hecos; Sutter
Maid, Brigadier and entered by Jack Cocheran.

First Heat — Was won by Harry with Ida a neck in the
rear -and Sutter Maid third.

Second Heat — Ida first, Sutter Maid second, Harry third.
Time, 2:50.

Third Heat — Ida first, Sutter Maid second and Harry third.
Time, 2:51.

Fourth Heat — Ida first, Harry second, Sutter Maid third.
Time, 2:46.

81COND RACE.

The free-for-all race, for a purse of $150 closed with three
entries, viz: Acrobat, Maud H. and Argent,

Mand H. won the first, second and third heats. Time,
2:37, 2:42 and 2:49; Acrobat second. Argent was withdrawn
on accourjt of sickness. L. Loupe, Secretary.

Fanstino, the yearling son of Sidney, who cut down the
stallion record for that age, has been torned over to Mr.
Starr's care, aad all of the hands around the stable are
delighted with the young gentleman. He is a favorite, and
the "boys" all claim that the two-year-old record will be in
danger nest season.

Maudlen is closely related to Mand 8., being by Harold,
413, dam Nutala by Belmont; second dam Mibb JRussell:
W. R. Allen, of Fittstield, Mass., paid $15,000 for this
queenly bred mare, and although she has a record now of
2:25|, her owner is not satisfied with that, and she will be
sent for a mark commensurate with her royal breeding.

Lady Bullion is another of those bred in the purple, being
by Pilot Medium 1597, dam Hattie Hoyer by Bollion 6030;
second dem Gipsey Maid by Stephen A. Douglas 422. She is
a good campaigner, and reduced her 1S88 record of 2:21J to
2:18J during last year. There are Beveral others unknown
to fame in the stable, and all of them are doing well. Mr.
Starr is well satisfied with the track and its surroundings,
and is quietly waiting until the weather settles so that he
can move the horses at a little speedier gait than they have
been asked to show lately.

The Doble Stable at Fresno.

During the past 6iity days, travel has been almo?t at a
standstill, the Californians displaying a most strenuous
objection to making visits during the unprecedented weather
with which we have teen afflicted during the past two months.
And it cannot be wondered at, rain almost continuously has
endangered the road-bed in quite a number of places, but
the company have had a small army of men at work to repair
the damages as fast as the water would recede.

Taking advantage of two spare days, the writer paid a visit
to Fresno, and paid a personal visit to the stable of Budd
Doble, which is wintering at that superb winter training
ground. Geo. Starr is Budd'sright bower with the California
contingent, and an able master he proves. George has been
at the business for a long time, and under the beBl mentor
in the country, so that it is not to be wondered at that "he
knows a thing or two." He has gained his experience by
hard knocks, and by brushing down the homestretch with
Gen. Turner, Knap McCarthy, John Splan, Jimmy Gold-
smith, and others of the "ilk" that are tough enough to drive
an ordinary judge crazy by simply looking at the stand and
it is from the ranks of such as these that Starr has graduated
until now he is a "scratch" man; able to give points to moBt
of the Eastern drivers, and ranking with the best. He has
quite a number of stalls at the Fresno Fair grounds, and
many a well known favorite can be seen daily taking a "con-
stitutional."

There is probably no place in the wide world where the
fame of Johnson, 2:06 J, has not extended; at least wherever
the English langaage is spoken, the speedy pacer is known
of. His stall is fitted upas becomes the king of the side-
wheel fraternity; pictures and bric-a-brac lending a charm to
the eye of the visitor. Of a kindly disposition, he makes no
objection to the entry of those who wanted to see him, but
rather seems to enjoy the amazemeot of the strangers who
pass remarks about his ungainly head. He may not look as
handsome as Hoy Wilkes or Yolo Maid, but he stands at the
head of the lateral motion division as the fastestin the world.
Ed Annan is one of the curios of the Doble collection, and
should have been called "Hop o' My Thumb," that is, unless
the original Ed AnEan is a dwarf in some dime museum.
Ed Annan, 2:16J, is a rough, Bhaggy little creature, standing
only 14.2 in height, with full rotund belly, and to all intents
and purposes, enjoying the climatic change from the extreme
colds of the northwestern States where he was, to the more
congenial and salubrious air of Fresno, where he gets plenty
of sunshine, no snow, and but little exercise. Eight times
did he start during the past season, and six times did he land
first money for his owner. He has been a perfect mint since
he was first placed in Mr. Doble's hands, his gameness and
stubborn fighting ability enabling him to win many a seem-
ingly hopeless race. Next year he will be again to the fore in
the 2:17 class, and benefited by the winter's rest, should once
more repeat his victories.

The grey gelding Jack is not the model of a trotting horse,
and he would not be selected by an artist to represent the
ideal light harness horse of America. Still he has a record
of 2:15 made in 1889, and his owner George Middleton, of
Chicago has issued a challenge that he will match Jack a-
gainst aDy trotter in the world for from $5,000 to $15,000 a

side,

Maria Jansen is a trim little mare, and great things are
expected of her before the season of 1890 closes. The long
price of $10,000 was paid for her ladyship, and it was fully ex.
pected that she would win herself outduring the past season.
However she will be reserved for the class where abe belongs,
and the trotting world may expect to hear of a big clean up
with her this year.

Beina is a black mare, five years old, who has reduced her
'record this year from 2. 27| to 2:2*2$, and there is plenty of
speed still latent in her little body. She is by St. Arnaud
1519, dam Mabel L. by Victor 1963; second dam by Volunteer
65. Keina is a useful animal, and as Bhe will be entered
throughout the great circuit, we fully expect to hear good
reports about her when she returns.

Pacific Coast Horses for Circuits of 1890.

The subjoined list comprises horses with records of 2:35
and tetter liable to start in the several circuits on this coast
during the next season. Mares retired to the harem and
horses badly injured (so far as known) are not included here-
in. The list is printed for the benefit and convenience of the
managers of fairs and trotting meetings. If, more than likely,
there be omissions or mistakes in either records or breeding,
we shall be thankful for any corrections that may be pointed
out; or, if any of the horses herein named have been shipped
away, relegated to the breeding stud, or injured so that they
will assuredly not start this year, we shall be grateful for
information to that effect. Figures between brackets (where
given) denote ages this year.

conntry; indeed, orderB are coming in daily for catalogues
and those wishing to enter their stork good ones, should do
so at once.

Remember, it is th6 place to sell your stock and your beBt
bred ones. Chicago is the center of demand; the money is
there, the people will be there. Will you have your best
stock there?

Crawford in Kentucky.

In conversation with Mr. W. H. Crawford, Foon Bfter his
return ircm Caliiornia, he appeared well satisfied with both
the h< r.-es he skw there and their owners. I remarked to
Mr. Cr*wford "hat he had a close call as to losing his money,
says •■Bopriul ' in the Spirit.

"Yef" fr«ifl he, 'if Stamboul has trotted as fast as be did
and it had I eeu n* fr any one of Beveral of oar Eastern tracks
my mone\ wunld have been lost, as there are seveial mana-
gers of rue -ircVseast of the Rockies stuck onbaviig fa>t re-
cords made on their tracks, aud as a rule, sqeeze off a fraction
but out i . Ca'if'tnifl they are both accurate and jnst timers."
"Well,1' said hn "I don't think Stamboul can beat bis pre-
vious record. 2:I2J?"

"Yes" said be. "no doubt he can, and bad tbe weather held
favorable he wooM have done it, and I would have lost my
money. Ire by 'bought I was going to lose, end when I
learned that Air Hickok was to get $9,000 if he did the trick,
I said to a gtniteman 'It is a consolation to know that my
friend Orriu get™ the money if I lose.' "_

I then a^d b m to give me his opinion of Snnol.
"Well" said he, "she fooled me once ann* may do bo ageio,
bat no doubt she is a most wonderfully ^reat filly, and when
she comee Eiit nest staeon I shall not be so ready to bet that
she won't teat all records &a I was to bet she would not beat
2:12. The da> she trotted in 2:10£, loitered to bet $I,0C0 to
$400 that sbe could not t-eat 2:12 Luckily no one would
take so lari:e a bel, although I lost quite well on it -at that,
but if the ba.-kers of time had bet freely I would have lost
more than I won on tbe match agaicst time. In fact, I felt
confident (knowing as I did that she was not ready for snch
atrial), that she coold not beat 2:12, and would have went
broke on tbe result, which orjee for all satisfies me that truly
great horses are not to be measured by the same scale that
common horses are."

"Then take it all together. Mr. Crawford, you are well
isfied with your California trip are you uot?" I asked.

'■"Well, yes I am, but there as in most places (wiih a wink to
his friend Bowerman) those newspaper barnacles, sharks or
whatever yon please to call them (present company excepted)
don't correctly quote an outsider. The newspaper* o
etated that I said things I never had thought of."

C. C. Cook, of Canton, Ohio, has bought of A. Kitzmiller,
of Lexington, for $4,000, these two brood mares: Mam*
brino Mini, fourteen years by Mambrino Patchen, dam by
Mambrino Chief, and Curlew, nine years, by Almont, dam
by American Clay.

Henry Walsh left for Senator Stanford's Vina Ranch last
Thursday. Several well bred brood mares have been from
time to time pent up there and bred to trotters. It is pro-
bable Mr. Walsh will select six or seven mares to bring baok
and use to breed thoroughbreds from instead of trotters.

There should most dec dedly be more weight for age races.
After a horse is four years old there is very little future before
him except in handicaps, and by that time, if he is in honest
hands, his foim is so exposed that be has very little chance
against the well-kept brigade.

The grounds and property of the National Fair Association
of the District of Colombia, including the Ivy City race-
course, weie advertised to be Bold at public auction on Jan.
14th. This means that another famous race course will
share the fate of Jerome and Pimlico.

During the past season at the Westchester track of the
New York Jockey Club fifteen races were run over the
straight coarse of thre* -quarters of a mile in 1 :14 or better,
and the same nam er were run at live-eights of a mile in 1:01
or better, a iecord never before equalled.

The Helena Fair Association intend having this season, a
two and three-year-old trotting siake exclusively for Mon-
tana bred colts. The association will also have a four-year-
old trotting stakes, free-for-all, and intends to have a four-
year-old trotting stake for Montana cohs.

Mr. J. W. Gordon has at the San Jose race trnck, eleven
head of trotters. Among them are the old stallion Henry
Patchen, a brother to Big Lize 2;24£, Bismarck 2;29i, a ohest-
DUt stallion by Index, one of the last of Nutwood's California
colts, and several others including Antinons.

Lord Byron 2:1S will enjoy a season in the stud, while the
famous pacer, Yolo Maid 2:12i will run out a>->d Favonia
2:15 with others will be bred to Mascot, is the latest news of
the Daly trotters. Owing to Mr. Daly's continued bad state
of health none of the trotters will be oampaigned.

Theodore Winters has not entered his famous colts, El Rio
Key and Bey del Key, in any of the stakes to be tud in the
East this spring, though he has entered them largely for the
Fall meetings. The stable will begin racing in the West at
Nashville and Memphis, where stake races are of no more
value that the purse races of the East. The policy of Mr.
Winters in starting his youngsters in the West under the
circumstances is one of the mysteries of the turf.

Glanders is an infections, incurable disease.whioh the horse
may even communicate to man and other animals. In Eng-
land, it is le*s common than it was oucp, probably owning to
the better application of the lawn that forbid the sale of a
glandered horse, and make bis owner liable for damages
cause! by his existence. In this con ntiy there is no law in
this direction, any man beiDg allowed to harbcr a glandeied
horse.

Professor Brewer of New Haven, in a recent lecture on the
horse, denies that the Euglibh thoroughbred is an Oriental
horse. Since 1790, the beginning of pedigrees and pure
breeding, it is the horses of known pedigree that have raked
in the most money. Old King Hamet brgot 494 winners and
won 6 ver £200,000 for his owners. One forty seems to be
about the time limit, and the most we can do now is to in-
crease the nomber and improve the general all-round horse.

"Bras de Fer,"in the London World, says: "I do not Bbare
in Lord Durham's fears that the large gate-money meetings
nny one day shake off the authoritv of the Club and become
a law unto themselves; for I believe that that authority is
too tirmly established to be shaken, unless by some ill-judged
action or abandonment of duty on the part of the Club not
likely to occur. His plea for their meetings being held in
public, so far as the admission of representatives of the Press
to them, will probably meet with general approval outBide
the Club. I have grave doubts, however, about the ioside.
His little remark about the fear lest the Jockey Club should
become a 'mutual admiration society' was distinctly good
and I can only hope that what be and Lord Downe said as to
the atmosphere of the Turf having never been purer or heal-
thier than now is true."

James B. McMasters, Secretary of the Deer Lodge Fair
and Racing Association, Deer Lfdge, Montana, writes: The

The question of long distance racing 3eems settles for this
year, judging from the forthcoming subscriptions. While the
Toboggan Slide handicap at six furloogB received 103 entries,
the Wescbester Cap at a mile and a half receive'! only 26.
As a rule the shorter the race the longer the list of nomina-
tions.

Anctioneer Kellogg is lost in wonder at the magnitude of«
the trotting horse interest. Breeders, he says, are no longer
afraid to send in their best and take chances under the ham-
mer. C J: Hamlin is to take this course in February, and
the California consignments this year will be better than
ever.

Lockjaw caused the death last week, in Kentuckv, of M.
Walker's b c Champagne Charley three years by imported
Prince Charlie, dam Triangle by Gilroy. He was a good
performer, his total winnings being §14,630 in the two years
he was on the turf, At one time his owner refused $8,000
for him.

George Walbaum whose success as a bookmaker has been
phenomenal and who has made still more fame as one of the
managers of the Hudson County Jockey Club, has recently
blossomed out at the owner of quite a large stable of thor-
oughbreds, he believes in securing the best horses and engag-
ing them well,

The Marquis of Ailesbnry, famous or rather infamous on
the English turf, baa at last reached the end of his tether.
His Bplendid es'ate of 40,000 acres is up for sale. He has
been ruled off every race course for crookedness and is noted
as a drunkard and for vicious characteristics of the most un-
mentionable kind,

Mr. Hogoboom has agreed not to enter Sacramento Girl
for the two year old stake at the ninth annual district fair,
because if she had been entered it is probable she would
have frightened the reBt out of the raoe. Last year at Rhon-
erville, as a yearling, the daughter of Alcazar und Viola, by
flaxtail, easily trotted in 2:56, on a slow track.

The total valnp of races won under Newmarket Rules in
1889 was broadly 480,000 sovs. The corresponding amounts
of late years wtre hb followB: In 1888, 413 000 sovs; in 1887,
415,000 sovs; in 1886, the same; in 1885, 426,000 sovs; in
1884, 393,000 sovs; and in 18S3, 391,000 sovs. It will thus
be seen that the figures have rapidly increased.

George Walhaum, the well known bookmaker, who has
been getting together a fine stable of race horBeB, has secured
the services of Martin Bergen as his chief jockey fur this
year. It is said that Bergen will receive a retainer of 55,000
besides pay for his mounts. James McLaughlin, the erst-
while famous jockey, has assumed his duties as trainer at
Pierre Lorillarn's Jobstown farm. He has a string of thirty-eight
two-year-olds to begin work with, many of them beinR well
bred. Most of them have been tried with George Taylor and
"Spider" Anderson in the Baddies.

A good deal of correspondence is going on just now in some
of our British Bporting contemporaries aneut the cause, ap-
parent or imaginarv, of the unpopularity of steepleehasing,
and the falling off in the class of horses entered. All sorts of
suggestions have been made, and there is no doubt that this
branch of sport requires a thorough remodelling. Apropos
of the discussion, it turns out that of the thirty-nine mem-
bers of the G.N. H, only fiveown cross-countiy horses, and
of these rive gentlemeD, only one owns horses of any impor-
tance.

The annual meeting of the Sonoma County Agricultural
Park Association was held last week The indebtedness of
the Association was announced as $900; the property is val-
ued at $25,000. The following directors were elected: Guy
E Grosse. B. M. Spencer, J. H Laughlin, 1. de Turk, Ju-
lius Ori, S. I. Alien and C. A. Wright. The following offi-
cers were elected: President, Guy E Grosse; Vice-President,
J. H. Laughlin; Treasurer, W. L. Borris; Secretary, B. M.
Spencer. The Directors were not in favor of holding races
this season unless the citizens show more appreciation and
a livelier interest in them than they have heretofore.

A glance at the EugliBh Racing Calendar shows that 1,623
races were run in Great Britain and Ireland in 1889, which is
the largest number since 1885. At five furlongs and under
six there were 793 races; six fnrloags and under a mile 256;
one mile 345; over one mile and under two 176, two miles
and under three 42; three miles and under four 8, and at
four miles 3.

Mr. John \. Morris says he has six or eight stallions and
about 35 mares in Texas; he expec-s to have 100 thorough-
' bred mares there shortly. Mr. Moiris also has about 20
marcs in England, 15 of which are in foal to English stallions.
The foalB will be imported as yearlings. Most of the mares
are American bred, and four had foals last year by Barnes
or Tom OchiltTee.

At the meeting of the Eureka Jockey Club, held at the
WeBtern Hotel on January 8tb, the following officers for the
enauiog year were elected: H. M. Devov, President; J. A.

Mr Corlett in the 'Pink Un' says that Ormonde will be put
into training again at Buenos Ayres. prior to going into the
stud It is to be hoped this Is not correct, for the magnifi-
cent race horse whose escutcheon wai never tarnished,
might possibly suffer defeat under the circumstances.
Horses who have enjoyed stud life have rarely proved suc-
cessful when put back on the turf.

Edward Lafertv is at Pleasanton with Mr. Kirkendall 8
trotters which he brought from Montana. Among them are
Lady Maxim 2:26. and several promising grefn horses. Mr.
Lafertv also brought Mary Eagle (the dam of Kanchero 2:2IJ)
bv American Olav 34, Dollv 2:32 by Mambrino Diamond
2-26 out of a mare by Clark Chief Jr., the dam of Rolla 2:24,
and several other brood mares to be stinted to Director.

Enropean buyers of fast horses are finding out that it pays
to have competent trainers and drivers, as well as Wooded
stock It is necessary to have a handler who kno»s not only
how to drive horses but also to balance, feed and do them up
after their races. Barney Stanford, who is now on the At-
antic with GypBV Queen and Lottie W. two of last se.ison s

rominent performed, is likely to impress the lesson even

ore thoroughly.

The trainers and jockeys employed in the various racing
stables have organized a sooiety for mutual benefit. The ob-
ject of the association is to raise a fund for the care of jockeyB
or trainers who may be injured in the discharge of their bus
iness, so that appea's for charity will not have to be made to
race-goers- The officers of the association are James Mc-
Lauahlin, President; William Lakeland, Vice President; W.
P. Ward, Treasurer; A. H. Langley, Secretary; and John H.
Smith, Recording Secretary. In order to make a good start-
ing fund, the association will give a ball at Tammany Hall on
Friday evening, Feb. 7, tickets for which are now being sold
in goodly numbers at §1 each. The society is oue with an
excellent purpose and deserving of the encouragement of all
racing people.

It is probable that H. R. H. the Prince of Wales will next
Beaaon race on a far larger scale than he has hitherto done,
and his interests will in all probability be closely connected
with those of his friend Baron de Hirsch. As a matter of
f ict the Prince of Wales and Baron de Hirsch are on terms
of great intimacy, and whether the Duke of WestmioBter's
horses are removed to Newmarket or not, it may be safely
wagered that the Prince and the Baron will nenceforth race
on a more extensive scale. In the place of two or three horses
each has hitherto bad under the care of John Porter, some
ten or a dozen will represent each owner next season. Eatly
in January the Prince visits Baron de Hirsch at Merton Hall,
Thetford, which the Baron has taken on a short lease from
Lord Walsingham.

The claim made by the admirers of the Pacific Slope for
perfect development of horses has says the Soorting World,
received another indorsement from the lips of Roberi Bonner,
who recently paid his first visit there. Speaking of thg de-
velopment of horses in California he says: "The youngsters
can grow there from Jan.. 1 to Dec. 31 and there is no draw-
back on account of the weather. Up at my farm for several
months in each year the cold weather retards the growth of
young stock very materially, no matter bow liberal the feed
may be or how much care is bestowed. In California on the
contrary, the weather favors the growth of stock continually,
and a yearling there is like ours here at two years old."

Most Pacific Coast athletf-s and sporting men know Mc-
Comb, Skinner and Kittleman. Archie Mccomb is stated to
have cleared about seven thousand dollars on the job race
said to have been run by M. Kittleman and Ed. Skinner at
Wichita, Kansas, recently. It appears that "Kit" agreed to
lose, aud thereupon a sporting man named Stirling, who
thought he had both ends and the middle sate, wagered
about ten thousand on the certainty. Bo t the ways of the
sprinter are not always straight, and as Kittleman ran the
race out on Skinner, Stirling was done oat ot his good money,
which was probably whacked up by the principals. Billy
Treuans is said to have lost about $5,000 and John McFar-
lane §4,000. but as both were willing to profit by what they
thoueht was u squared race, the public of that section do not
feel much sympathy for them.

The argument against long distance racing is put in a nut-
shell by a well-known turfman: "In order that the betting
privileges of our race tracks may be made salable, they
must be made valuable; in order to make them valuable, we
must bring large fields to the post. Large fields make heavy
betting, and consequently big profits for the bookmakers. In
races under a mite we have no trouble in getting from 12 to
20 starters. As the distances increase, the fields decrease,
tne belting falls off, bu^ines-i is dull in the ring, and tbe
bookmakers growl, turn their slates and threaten to retire.
With big fields a stand is worth $1<j0 a day; with small belds
in which there is usually a top-heavy favorite, it is not worth
half as much. There's the rub The clnbs mu-:t encourage
big fields, in order to keep the bookmakers."

••c-o-s meet and set the dates for meeting of 1890
: J.ly 14, 15. 16, 17, IS 19. Messrs. Bielenberg
s i -_e appointed a committee to get up the speed

g iner.

i the various racing associations having stakes
J nuary I, indicates a falling off in the num-
receiyed, except for those of the Brooklyn Joo-
biob just about holds its own, although for
each cl.b there is still time for more nominations at differ-
ent poi t- i > be heard from. Quite a well grounded opinion
appears to ■ xist among secretaries and oihers who have to
do with th - management of the larger racing meetings in this
part of tb- country, that a falling off in entries for the fixed
events is ..ily a natural result of the timeB. Not so much
because ot -heir multiplied number although that might rea-
sonably he supposed to have some infiaeiJCe, as because of the
greatly increased value of (he purses As the secretary of
one of the most prominent jockey clubs said: "Why should
owners enter in advance for these b takes when thev can run
for purses of S1.000, the entrance money added "to which
makes them worth nearlv that amount to the winner alone
while second receives $200, and the third $100 in many in-
stances?"

Garrison's legal troubles with the McMahon family caosed
him to postpone his departure for England. It is generally
understood that Garrison is short of money, a condition of
affairs due no doubt to plunging on the races at Ciifton and
Guttenburg. In the summer the "8napper" landed on
many good things, and prospered amazingly. A friend in-
quired one day why he did not ride o.tener, and the reply
waB: "Oh, I don't need to ride; I can beat 'em on the out-
side." This beating 'em on the outside baB at last beat him.
Jockeys who play the races pick about as m«ny losers as the
average bettor. No jockey should bet except on his own
mounts. Garrison's admirers supposed he was making at
least $20,000a year, and the statement that on a recent occa-
sion he was obliged to borrow pocket money to attend the
races caused great surprise. The only jockey in America
who has held fast to aoy considerable part of his earnings is
the colored rider Isaac Murphy, who is said to own property
valued at over $100,000. W. Donohue, not the least thrifty
person in the world, could draw a check for $10,000 without
wiping out his bank account. McLaughlin whs rich once,
but if report be true, is now, comp^ruively speaking, a poor
man. Hamilton made a great oeal of money last year, but
squandered most of it. Hayward has a conitortable home
near Eatontown. N J., and lives well, but is not excessively
rich. As a rule, jockeys earn their money so easily that they
do not know its value.

The Hon. Jrmes White, who is striving to win the English
Derby, is deserving of great commendation for his enterprise.
A few lines about his turf career may not be out of place:
Mr. White, as a young man, although fond of a bit of sport,
did not take any active part in the racing of his native color. y,
New South Wales, and it was not until about twelve or thir-
teen years ago that he commenced racing in a small wav with
a steeplechaser named Hotspur, who more than once carried
the blue and white to victory. With Gonlburn, too, be was
successful in steeplechases; and on tbe flat he gained tri-
umphs with Democrat and The Pontiff; but it was with
Chester that his name became well known in connection with
racing in Victoria. The success ot the great son of Yatter-
don in the V. R. C. Derby and Cup whetted Mr. White's ap-
petite, and he longed for further triumphs. He then deter-
mined to establish a stud for himself, and selected a most
suitable spot nearKirkham, close to the town of Camden,
where in the old days the famous Macarthnr flocks and herda
occupied the pastures in the vicinity. When Chester retired
from the turf he was selected as the lord of the harem, and
Mr. White, having made a trip to Erjgland, selected there a
few mares for bis stud. In choosing the mares that were to
form the nucleus of the Kirkham stud, Mr Wh'te displayed
splendid judgment. He stuck to the good old plan of mak-
ing his selections from families that had proved successful
in the home of the thoroughbred, ani tbe successes which
have attended the descendants of these mares are sufficient
corroboration of the wisdom of the colooiul sportsman's ac-
tion. In other ways Mr. White displayed admi-able judg-
ment. His purchase of Martini-Henry, Trident. Matchlock,
Nordenb-ldt, etc.. showed that be bad an eye for a good vei-
ling, and bis double triumph with the first nani^d in Derby
and Cup resul'ed in the addition to bis exchequer of some-
thing over £25 000. while tbe victories uf Trident, Match-
lock and Nordenfeldt also brought piunty ol erist to tbe mill.
His successes on the tnrf have bfeu too numerous to reoa-
piiulate- suffice it to say that nearly every important race *u
Australia has been wan at some time or other by horses car-
rying bis colors Tbe Australasian, from which the ubovc- is
taken, a^ds, "His determination lo beard tbe Bnti.sh lion in
bis den bus aroused the enthusiasm of his country mi n, who

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED PT AB.FHIPPUS,

SUMMARY.

Unfortunately for the out-door athletes, the storm has
commenced again, and aB we go to press the indications for
a prolonged spell are very pronounced. One hope, however,
larks iu the breast of the athlete, and that is that when the
■weather really settles a very dry and pleasant season may
be anticipated. The continue 1 rain will sadly interfere with
the arrangements of .the Olympic and Alpine Clnbs for their
eomiog out-door meetings.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Owing to the inclement state of the weather it has been an
utter impossibility for the runners and walkers to take out
door exercise. Two very important field meetings will take
place within five weeks, and the amateurs will be compelled
to enter the games in an untrained condition unless the
weather modifies within the nest few days.

Captain Jordan of the Olympic Club, is apparently satisfied
that Buchanan, the latest addition to the club's roll of cham-
pions, will easily defeat McKiDnon of the Alpine Club in the
championship games on May 30th.

S. V. Cassidy is determined to duplicate his victory of last
year by winning the two hundred and twenty yards run on
May 30th. With proper training, there is no reason why this
popular young sprinter should not be successful in his under-
taking.

Owing to press of business, Walter A. Scott will be unable
to train during the coming season. He holds the one mile
running record, and the athlete who beats Scott's time will
certainly prove himself to be a good man.

Carpenter, who took second place in the high jump at the
championship meeting two years ago, has retired from the
athletic world. He has a record of 5 feet 8 inches.

Owing to ill health William Zephus will not train for the
coming games.

Foster, the hurdle racer, has resigned from the California
Athletic Club and applied for admission to the Olympic Clnb.
He should take second place on May 30th.

F. L. Holland, also of the California Athletic Club, will re-
sign in the near future and lend hid valuable aid to the Al-
pines.

The California Club is now without an out-door amateur,
and the probabilities are that the annex will disband. In
■electing Philo Jacoby as President, the amateurs ol the clnb
made a grave error. As a marksman Mr. Jacoby is certainly
a Buccess, but as President of an amitenr athletic club he is
not. No person can dispute the fact that Philo Jacoby pos-
sesses average ability and that he is ambitious,- but he has
painfully proven to the young athletes whom he governed
that his thoughts were in the neighborhood of the targets at
Harbor View when they should have been in the California
Club, in the midst of its amateur athletes. The athleteB
looked np to him for aid but he was powerless to help them,
aB he was satisfied to be ruled himself by the regular directors
of the club. This is where the Golden Gate and California
Clubs are at fault, in allowing the officers of their professional
branches to have full jurisdiction over their amateur an-
nexes.

H. C. CasBiiy, of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club, is
highly pleased at the introduction of a two-mile handicap
run at the Olympic games which will take place Feb. 22nd
Those who have seen him run in private say that be is fully
able to lower the existing coast record without training an
hour.

John D. Garrison, of the Alpine Athletic Club, promises
to do well in the next games. In the running broad jump
and in the one hundred yards run he will be heard from es-
pecially.

Phil Moody and M. C. Giry will train hard for the half
mile run, and both men will be well up at the finish.

In the person of James Jarvis, the Olympic Club has a
splendid athlete, and on Decoration Day his valuable assis-
tance will be of moch account. The position which he holds
at present, and which he did Dot obtain through the influence
of his club, renders it impossible for him to train owing to
the long hours which he is compelled to work, and if the
rich and influential members who pretend to take such sn
active iuterest in the athletic welfare of their club, would only
exert themselves just a little bit, they might be able to pro-
cure a much better and easier position for Mr. Jarvis, who
is a perfect strangtr in the city, and whose absence at the
championship games might mean defeat to the Olympic Club.
E. Sullivan, of the Alpine Club, promises to develop into a
first-class hammer thrower.

The Acme Athletic Club, of Oakland, will be represented
by two or three good men at the championship games.

The friends of C. B, Hill regret that they will not have a
chance to see him compete agninst Jarvis, as Mr. Hill has
fully made up his mind to remain off the cinder track.

The field oaptain of the Olympic Club through the medium
of a local daily paper gave it as bis opinion that without the
aid of John Porcell and Victor E. Schiffer stein, the Olympic
Club would have do trouble in winning the championship
pennant of 1890. While admitting that Mr. Jordan is a hard
worker in the interest of his club, we will say that he might
be somewhat leas positive about the ability of his team. It is
very poor policy on the part of Mr. Jordan to affirm that the
club could get aloog without the aid of Purctll and Schiffer-
etein. Further argument on the subject is unnecessary, as
it is generally known that without the assistance of the* two
athletes in question, tbe Olympic Club would have been badly
defeated lait May. Moreover, Mr. Jordan seems to think
that only one athletic club should exist, as he evidently
ignores the existence of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Clnb
Good natured rivalry amongst tbe athletes is all very well in
its way, but when it comes to bad feelings, then the line
should be drawD. The Alpine Club was not organized to
down the Olympio Club as a club; it was started solely for
the purpose of downing prize-righting institutions, and for
upholding amateur athletics. We hope the ill feeling at pres-
ent existing will blow over, and that on February 22d all the
athletes will join hand in hand, and in a manly and good-
natured way strive to defeat each other in the different
events.

A local illustrated weekly sporting paper, lately sprung
into existence, in its last issue censures the officers and mem-
bers Qf the AlpiDe Athletic Club for not opening their games
which are announced to take place on February 16th. A
seDBeleBB areument is no argument at all, aDd the editor of
the paper referred to used very poor judgment when he wrote

the article. How can it be expected that a new club only
three or four weeks organized, could offer prizes for en open
athletic competition? Irrespective of this, the editor must
have been fully aware of the fact that the main object of the
club was to offer to its members induc.ments which no other
club on the Pacific Coast ever dared to do. In offering
prizes for monthly competition amongyt its members, the
Alpine Amateur Athletic Club ;had a two-fold object in
view. In the first place, monthly games are likely to keep
the members in constant practice, so that in open competi-
tion they will be in first class trim. In the next place it will
benefit athletes who are too modest to compete against cracks,
but who are williog to contest with their fellow members.
Having interviewed the officers of the Alpine Club, we are
able to state that the club intends to be more liberal than
either the University or Olympic Clobs. After tbe initial
games, which will take place on Sunday, February 16th, the
Alpine Club will open three or four events each month to
members of clubs belonging to the P. C. A. A. A.

The old-time athletes will regret to learn that the "dear
old" Bay District track is about to be cut up into building
lots. Tbe memory of many pleasant evenings spent on the
good old track will never die out, and in years to come the
boys will smoke their pipes and talk of the good old times
when they trained at the Bay District track.

AT THE OARS.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic club was admitted into the
Pacific Bowing Association at the last meeting of that body.
A grand jollification will be held at the club grounds at Har-
bor View about the end of April.

Owing to the wet weather the boats at the different club
houses remained dry on Sunday last. The crews remained
in-doors and discussed future eventB.

The Lurline club elected several new members at its last
meeting.

The Pacific Rowing Association held its annual meeting in
Irish-American Hall ^last "Wednesday eveniDg. Representa-
tives of the Ariel, Alpine, Dolphin, Lurline and Pioneer
Clubs were present. As officers for the year Leo Heringi was
elected President; W. H. Grownev, first Vice-President; P.
J. Bnrnam, second Vice-President; H. O. Farrell, Secretary;
and G. W. Van Guelph, Treasurer. The committee on re-
gatta was named as follows: Ariel Club, E. Flanders; Al-
pine, L. P. Bean; Dolphin, A. P. Kathkoff; Lutline, M.
Hanley; Pioneer. "W. C. Espy; South End, John Trainor.
An Executive Committee w s appointed, consisting of W. H.
Grownev, Ariel Club; Tony Russell, Dolphin; Fred Tauffen-
bach, Lurline; John Doherty, South End; H. Tank, Alpine:
P. H. McDonnell, Fioueer. Some alterations were made io
the constitution and by-laws and the association adjourned.

THE WHEELMEN.

Like the runners and walkers, the wheelmen are disgusted
at the weather. Should therain continue mach looger sever-
al new *'honse trainers'' will have to be ordered as the oneB
now in use are getting worn out.

The different teamB are now ready for the drill. It is ex"
pected that the affair will ba a grand success

The ladies cycling club will be organized early in the
spring.

The medals awarded the winners at the races at the race
meet which was held at the Napa on Thanksgiving Day are
splendid specimens of the Jewelers art.

A regular meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen will be held
on Monday evening next.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

A pair of parallel bars has been erected in the gymnasium.

A horizontal steel bar, 54 feet long, has been erected ex-
tending from one end of the room to the other.

There is a large attendance at the gymnasium daily, as tbe
majority of the outdoor men arc already reducing their fat,
preparatory to regular training for the coming Olympic

The 6tudentF, koowing that the O. A. C. will not have tbe
assistance of Purcell aad Seheflersttin at the next champion
games, are fully bent on the carrying of the flag. Everv stu-
dent who is anything of an athlete will train for the occasion,
aud it is an assured fact that the college yell will be heard
many times during the day.

It is expected that the ioter-co] legists record of 22 ff. 6 iu.
for the running broad jump will be broken during the season

The athletic editor of "The Occident," a paper published
weekly for the benefit of the students at Berkeley, thus
speaks of the OlympicC'ub: 'According to one of tbe city
papers, the O. A. C. rejoices at the formation of another ath-
letic club, aB it promises to give them some opposition in tbe
coming games. It is very well for the 0. A. C. to pretend
to ignore the existence of tbe U. C, but they cannot hide
this fact, tbat they morally fear us in the comiDg champion-
ship, and they are ready to move heaven and earth to pre-
vent us from securing ttie pennant this jear. We gave them
all the opposition they desired last year, and if our men will
only make Bufficient effort we will certainly defeat them this
time."

The Olympic Club will possibly hold its Washington Birth-
day games oo the campus, as the rain will prevent tbe club
from having its own grounds ready by that date.

An effort will be made to have tbe fence enclosing the ten"
nis court removed while athletic games are being held.

The oiDder track is in a terrible condition.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

We clip the following from the New York Sun:—
An idea is prevalent that trained athletes are shortlived.
Wnethertbis be true or Dot, the case of T. P. Conner! tbe
amatenr five-mile champion of America, would, from'this
point of view, be a subject for interesting investigation to
phjBicianB. A Sun reporter called at St. Vincent's Bospital
yesterday morning and was admitted to Mr. Conneff's room.
He found the patient suffering somewhat from difficulty in
breathing. He seemed to be in a sort of lethargic state, and
found it troublesome to talk. He was also quite deaf, and
the reporler was obliged to talk in a loud voice to make him
hear. Upon asking him if there was anything he would like
to pay about bis sickness, he said: "I have nothing to say
except that I feel much better, and hope it won't be long be-
fore I am out again, but it will probably be a longtime before
I can ruu in raoes. "When I was taken Bick about the first of
this month, I became deaf, and I find it very bard to hear
anything. I don't know what the trouble is, but I think it
is in tbe lungs; the doctors won't tell me anything about it.
The trouble came on gradually; and I don't know what the
cause was." From his appearance Conneff' looks as though
there was a good chance of his recovery. He did not appear
to be wasted, and his face was no thinner than is usually the
caee with a trained athlete, but his voice was very weak, and
not to annoy him further the reporter said good-by and de-

parted. Tommy ConDeff is very popular among his club
mates aud much interest is taken in his condition. He came
to this country from Ireland in the spring of 1S81 and joined
the Manhattan Athletic Club. In 1886 he won the one mile
championship of Ireland in 4 minute.* 32 3 5 seconds. In
1887 he won the four mile champiODship of Ireland in 20
minutes 55 4-5 seconds. In 1888, as a member of the M. A.
C, he won the same championship in 20 minutes 4S seconds,
and in the same year be won the English one mile champion-*
sli p in 4 minntes 31 3-5 seconds, tbe N. A. A. A. A. cham-
pionship at the same distance in 4 minutes 32 2-5 seconds,
and also the five-mile championship of the N. A. A. A. A.
After the amalgamation of tbe two associations last summer,
he won the five mile championship in 26 minutes 42 sec-
onds.

The third annual nrd winter indoor games of the Athletic
Association of the University of Pennsylvania, to be held at
the Philadelphia Academy of Music on February 1st, will in-
clude the following events: Forty yards daBb, scratch. 440
yards dash, handicap, 20 jards limit. Balf mile ran, handi-
cap, 40 yards limit. Mile run, handicap, 80 yards limit.
Bnnning high jump, handicap, 6 inches limit. 220 yards
hurdle race, 8 flights, 2 feet 6 inohes, handicap, 15 yards
limit, tug-of-war, 625 pound teams. 440 yards dash, scratch,
for Interacademio Athletic Association of Philadelphia, and
Interscholastic Athletic Association of New York. There
will also be several bonis of wrestling. All members of the
Amateur Athletic Union will be allowed to compete. E. C,
Carter of the New York Athletic Club will act ashmdioap-
per, and George Turner of Philadelphia as starter. Entries
will close with Thomas G. Hunter, Drextl Building, Filth
and Chestnut streetB, on January 23rd.

Albert Beers of Boston, who won the Adams mileagenoedal,
is credited with having ridden 9,000 mileB this Beat-on up to
date. These figures surpass the record of George Nesbitt of
the New York Club, who held tbe record previously with 8,-
231 mileB to his credit for one year's riding.

W, P. Page, the champion high jamper of the world, states
tbat a man can clear two or three inches higher in the open
air than he can in the gymnasium. On two different occa-
sions Page cleared 6 feet on boards, and in a day or twoaftwr
he jumped 6 feet 3 inches at an open air athletic meeting.

BLUB JOTTINGS.

The Alpine Amateur AthleticClub has applied foradmission'
to the Pacific Coa t Ad a eur Athletic Asboc ation.

Great preparations are being made for the "Ladies Night'*
which will take place at the Olympic club rooms towards the
end of the present month.

Over two tons of seats were shipped to Harbor View on,
Tuesday last for the grounds of the Alpine Athletic club.
A grand stand suitable tor the accommodation of 1500 people
will be built at once.

We are in receipt of the following communication:
Arphippds, Breeder and Sportsman —

Dear Sir; Through yonr valuable and influential columns;
I would like to state tbat the Pacific Athletic Club applied to
Mr. J. J. Jameson, Secretary of the P. C. A. A. A. to be.
allowed to see the copy of nV» Constitution and By-Laws in
his possession, but Mr. Jamison stated that he was unable
to find the copy. Now I think it is high time tbat some
action was taken by the different clubs in regard to tbe man-
agement of the P. C. A. A. Of what use is the association if
its officers fail to attend to their duties ? At present only one
or two meetings a year are held, whereas at least one meet-
ing a month should be held. Respectfully yonr3,

M. C. Giry.
President P. A. C.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

G.H.L.

What salary does the official handicapper of the American
Athletic Union receive, and what is his name?

Does the official handicapper of tbe Olympic Athletic Club
of this city receive any remuneration?

Answer. — Mr. E. C. Carter, the offioial handicapper of the
American Athletic Union, is paid a salary of $1,500 per an-
H im.

2. Mr. G forge W. Jordan, the official handicapper of the
Olympic Clnb of San Francisco, so we have been informed,
receives about $30 a month remuneration.

Wire fences, although not constructed of barbed wire, are
the cause of a great deal of complaint among the fox hunters
of England. Lord Willonghby de Brake, master of the War-
wickshire Hunt, has informed the Southern Farmer's Clnb-
that unless the wire fences are taken down in winter the
hunting will be Htopped Since tbe present season began his
wife has been nearly killed, bis b'ret whip injured aud two
horseB severely torn in consequence of this objectionable sys- I
tern. Other masters of the hunt have announced in different
countries that there can be no hunting where the wire fences
are kept up in winter.

The bay colt Champagne Charlie, foaled 1886, by imported
Prince Charlie, dam Triangle, by Gilroy, property of M.
Walker, died iu Fayette County, Ky., from lockjaw, on the-
night of December 31st, He was a good two-j ear-old but
failed to sustain his reputation at three.

Grim'e Gossip.

There will be racing at the Oakland track to-morrow. I
wonder if Stover and his gang have caoght another of the
sucker brigade.

James D. Snowden died at St. Mary's Hospital, San Fran-
cisco, on the 9th of last month. He was known to nearly all
the horsemen of the State.

Mr. Baldwin's wonderful little race mare Los Angeles has
been entered in all the principal Eastern events, and 1890 will
again see her battling with the giants of the turf.

Owing to the excessive weight of snow on the grand stand
at Gleobrook Park, Nevada County, that building broke
down a few days ago, entailing a serious loss on the associa-
tion.

In order to increase the entry list in the three-year-old
trotting atake offered by "W. P. Fine, of Petaluma, Captain
Ben E Harris has agreed not to enter his black filly Lorena
therein.

The Sire Bros, have been trying to purchase some of the Ir-
vin Aj res stock, but wished to exact a condition that the
horses sh mid be landed in New York. Mr. Ayres would not
acceed to the demand so the sale is off.

Alfred G. will stand during the season of 1890 at the farm
of R. B. MetoaU on the Harrodsburg Pike, about one mile
from the Lexington Fair GroundB. He will be under the
oharge of J. W. Knox, and the service fee will be $200.

I see by an exchangethat Br. Aby has been mada a director
of the Lake County Agricultural Association It is about time
that one horseman was a member, for in the p^Bt there has
been a lamentable amount of ignorance Bhown up there.

I Baw a fine-appearing young colt in Fresno last week called
Buccaneer Jr. He is the property of James Waterman, and
can show a full mile in 2:25. His pedigTee is given as by
Buccaneer, dam Mountain Maid by Kentucky Gold DuBt.

Mr. Sibley, of Miller & Sibley, Franklin, la., is authority
for the statement that the $12,f00 they gave Hon. Leland
Stanford for the yearling colt Eleotrio Bell, was spent by the
California millionaire on the homeless children of New York
and Boston.

Not one of the pacing contingent has been in to see wheth-
er the $500 left by L. A. Davis as a deposit for a malch is in
Gold, Silver or paper. They evidently do not want to win
52,500 or they have come to the conclusion that Hoy Wilkes
is to > hard a game for them to beat.

The sadden, death of Bell Boy has caused his owners,
Messrs Clark and Hopp9r, to look carefully over the young
horse* of the country, to see if one could be secured to rill
the place of Bell Boy, and their choice fe'l on the grand
joungster at the Sin Mateo Stock Farm, Regal Wilkes, two-
year-old record 2:20| A telegram was sent to Mr. Corbitt
asking him to place a price on his pet, but Regal is not for
sale. A price will not be put on the colt, and California will
retain the services of the greatest two-year-old stallion that
ever lived.

A proclamation has been issued by the Southern Paci6c
R. R. and no doubt many will avail themselves of the chance
offered. A special fast train will leave San Francisco Febru-
ary 12th at 5 p m. for New Orlearjs. so that those who wish
to can take part in the Mardi Gras festival. The special train
will be only three days and eighteen hours on the road, and
will be composed of Pullman sleepers and dining car. Tick-
ets and sleeping car berth reservations can be secured in ad-
vance. Winter racing will be at its height, so that horsemen
who go can have a good time.

Henry A. Conse, who has spent the past year in Southern
California, speaks very highly of the horses in that locality,
says the Kansas City RiUree. As Hank is something of a
horsemaD, it is safe to s-ty that his ideas may prove to be
somewhat of a 'tip." Some of the boys will remember his
predictions on C A Todd two years ag). Hank says that
should Mikado. Odette or the Tycoon colt come this way it
would be well for the boyB to beep an eye ou them. Ihey
were the property of Ben Hill of San Diego, who lately sold
them to Mr. Rose, and are capable of holding their own with
the best of them. Mr. Hill his ana tuber of highly bred
yearlings, and as he is generally ready to sell, parties visit-
ing that section of the country will do well to give him a call
if they are looking for good ones. San Diego can boast cf
several good trotters and as good a mile track as can be found
in the State. Doc. Burke generally has a string of ten or a
dozdn trotters, among them the famous Atto Rex. Bell Boy
wintered there last year. Joseph Brophey of San Diego, who,
by the way, is a jolly good fellow, can give the Eastern ten-
derfoot visiting that section of the country all the pointers
neceisarv.

The Standard.

We have to acknowledge the receipt of a very tine lithograph
of Nutwood 2:18|. which haB been sent to this office by the
Stout Bros of Dubuque, Iowa It is a faithful representation
of the old horse and has been given a position of honor in the
Breeder and Sportsman picture gallery.

Colonel R. S. Strader, Lexington, Ky., has sold to W. S.
Hobart, of this citv, at a long price, the foor-year-ol i chest-
nut filly Nola by Nutwood, 2;1S£, dam Belle Bowman, by
Bowman's Clark Chief; second dam Belle Hook, by Almont;
third dam by Alexander's Bay Chief j fourth dam by Davy
Crockett, pacer.

In the list of horses with trotting records better than 2:20, we
find that The Pleasanton Stock Farm Company own five head
Director, 2:17; Nellie R.2:17J; Monroe Chief, 2:18J; Direct.
2:18:1; and Margaret S., 2:l9i, which is more than is owned
by anyone man or company in the United States. They also
own the pacers Gold Leaf 2:11J, and Corette 2:19.

Mr. Peter Wood, the well know driver and trainer from
Chicago is now in this city, and is open for engagements to
train, and drive. He is well recommended by well known
horsemen in the E*st and can be heard of by calling at the
Breeder and Sportsman office. Having had about twenty
years exnerience, he would be invaluatle on this coast.

I am well pleaBed to hear that Contention, J. H. White's
Director colt, stands a very fair show of going inside the
"twenty" list next season. He was taken Bome time ago to
Pleasanton, and Andy McDowell has been giving him a sort
of special preparation, and the effect of education is begin-
ning to Bbow. He can rattle off quarters very fast, and is
taking kindly to his work.

As almost everyone knows Billy Donothau has taken charge
of the thoroughbreds at Senator Hearst's ranch and will pre-
pare a number of them for a Western campaign. If the Blord
Horse meeting is not delayed too late, Billy will in all likeli-
hood bring a number of racers to the Bay District track, and
there pick out the beBt of the lot and take them baok to St.
Louis, Louisville, Memphis, Nashville etc.

Lillian Wilkes 2:17£ was a great favorite, for the short time
she wa* on the circuit last year, and there can be no reason-
able doubt but that she would have reduced her mark con-
siderably if accident had not overtaken her. Mr. Corbitt in-
forms me that the great young rilly is once more all right, and
that she will be seen again this year ready to give anything
on the circuit a tight for first honors.

D Scott Quintin pays of the stallion Palo Alto: "This
hor.-e has been complaining in one of his forward feet all
summer. Whenever he struck an uneven place in the track,
the pain was so great that the stallion was compelled to
break, and yet he would catch quickly and go right on."
Mr. Quinlan adds: "This furnished me the highest evidence
of the intensity of the trotting disposition of Palo Alto. A
horse that will not leave the trot, except to avoid the sharpest
pain, is gaited right for harness battles. If Palo Alto's
trouble is relieved, he will find it an easy task to beat 2:12."

Messrs. W. H. Bradford, M. E. Burgess and F. H. Bur-
gess of Bennington, Vt., passed the most of New Year's Day
at Allen Farm, and Bpoke Id high praise of the excellence of
the horses they had seen. Mr. Bradford is one of Benning
ton's wealthy manufacturers. Ee took a strong fancy to the
yearling brown coir, Gotha. Gotha is by Mambrino Wilkes,
dam by Gny Wilkes, a royally bred fellow, and a born trot-
ter. Mr. Bradford made what he considered a good offer,
but while the offer was appreciated, it fell short of the price,
and no sale was made. — Berkshire Eagle.

A mutual understanding between man and horse i"b neces-
sary in order to insure the largest per cent, of profit to the
stallioner, says a leading writer. If friendly word and kindly
act are sent as messengers, the equine nature moves in quick
response; if angry tone and brutal blow be offered, they are
treasured up in sullen, vengeful mind, and at the moment
least expected are tendered back in most disastroos manner.
The prudent 6tallioner is friendly with his horse. His nature
is made the subject of careful study; his peculiarities of tem-
per are learned; his faults are skillfully corrected, and his
vices, if any unfortunately there be, are mitigated.

[A3 REVISED AND ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TROTTTNG-HORSE BREEDERS. DECEMBER 14, 3887.]
In order to define what constitutes a trotting-bred borseand to estab-
lish a breed of trotters on a more intelligent basis, the following
rules are adopted to control admission to the records of pedigrees,
Wben an animal meets tbe requirements of admission and Is duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal: —

Fibbt. — Any stallion tbat has himself a record of two minutes and
thirty seconds (2:30) or better, provided any of bis get has a record of
2:35 or better, or provided bis sire or his dam is already a standard
animal.

Second. — Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:30 or better.

Thied. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better.

Fourth. — Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record ot
2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications:
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better. (2) Has a sire or dam that is
already a standard animal.

Fifth -Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standsrd horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh. — The female progeny of a standard horse wben out of &
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth. — The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth. -Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and whos
sire or dam is a standard animal.

Best Trotting Records.

Bed-clover hay is nutritive and puts on flesh, but it is
bad for wind and condition: and mixed hay is better without
sweet scented vernal, which gives that delicions smell we of-
ten find in hay, bnt has little nutriment. If meadowed pas-
ture cannot be procured, then the most available of the above
grasses reared from seed shonld be used. This is a matter
where the judgment must be guided by local experience,
which, after all, is the only sure test. Pasture hay should
be moderately fine, somewhat hard and a year old, unheated
and with a green tinge. All hay should be cut early in the
season, before the seed has matured. It then contains more
nourishment. Needless to say, it should be well saved. A
sweet Bmell is no object. That comes from sweet smelling
grasses as vernal, and horses will often reject such hay for
that which is almost scentless.

Pacing Becords at One Mile.

Scott Qninton has returned to Trenton, N. J., from Mon-
tana, where he handled Mark Daly's trotters the paBt season.
M. Daly's health continues bad. and it has been decided not
to start any of his hor.-es in 1890. Mascot will be bred to a
few mares, one of which will probably be Favonia, and Lord
Byron, who took a four-year-old record of 2:18, will also be
given a chance in the stud. Yolo Maid, the great pacer, will
enjoy a run at grass.

Tbe great California filly Margaret S will again be seen on
the Eastern circuit next year. She is entered in the Great
Expectitirn Stake at Chicago, and also in the Four-year-old
Stake at Independence. Iowa, which Axtell Wi liams ha* in-
Bti:uted. In both of these races she will have to meet Aller-
toD, 2:18i and then there will be a Tace, California aguuBt
Iowa, 2:19£ against 2:18£. May the best and fastest win.

There seems to be a dangerous di^ea=e among the hoTses
in some i ortions of Indian Valley. It is reported that about
two weeks ago Mr Droge lost a couple of animals. Mr. Ca-
die has lost two and has more sick. Word comes from Tay-
lorsville, al-fo. that Mr. Hardgrave has lost his fine Norman
stallion, ' Dodu." Thislo3s is quite serious, perhaps $1,000.
The disease appears to be some kind of a distemper which
has a marked effect on the nervosa syBtem.

A decidedly novel innovation in pool selling has been
started in St. Louis, pools being sold on the site of the
World's Fair. Donovan's pool room has the credit of mak-
ing this innovation. The betting is qnite lively, indicating
that the idea has struck the chord of popular approval, al-
though tbe amounts are email, tbe majority of bets averag-
ing from S10 to $50.

New York City i* the site as a strontz favorite, 5 to 4 on. be-
ing the ruling odds. Chicagi ranks next, at even mnney,
while 8 to 1 is offered against St. Louis, and 40 'o 1 Wash-
ington. At the opening 50 to 1 was laid against Washington
as the site, but a few bets cansed a reduction of that price.

Mr. Ariel Latbrop informs me that Palo Alto. 2:I2J. will be
bred to about ten or a dozen mares this spring, moat of which
will be thoroughbreds. Positively no outside mares will be
taken for him, he being reserved for the farm brood mares.
It only seems like yesterday that Seneca Daniels Btarted in
to breed trotters from thoronghbreds, and yet tbat mast be a
quarter of a century ago. How time does ft v ! The Sonoma
Connly breeder did not make a magnificent success of bis at-
tempt?, but Governor Slaoford has secured two frst-c'asa
performers, and now the world looks to Palo Alto for a fur-
ther development of the thoroughbred theory in trotters.

Fastest Time on Record.

Harrison Jones and Charles Keir on Monday made up a
stallion race to be run for $500 a side on January 27th, either
at the Stockdsle ranch or on the old race track between the
two towns, says the Kern County Californi»n. There is to
be a half milo and a mile dash with not more than 30 min
ntea wait between each. Harrison Jones names Kit Carson
and Charles Kerr name* Apiche^ Forfeit money was placed
in baak upon the day the race was agreed upon.

Soma of the Eistern sporting papers bave given a record
to Una Wilkea of 2:30, but the following note from her owner
shows that she is not entitled to one: —

"Some over zealous friend of Guv Wilkea, in a letter to
Mr. Balch of Boston, and not intended for publication, gave
Una Wilkes, a three year old filly by Guy Wilkes credit for
having made a record of 2:30. Such wad not the case. She
was entered and started in but one race, and tbat with aged
horses at San Jose. There were six heats in tbe race, and
some of the hordes showed their ability to trot close to 2:20,
and have since made a record of 2:22| Una took fourth
money, but got no record, but. barriDg accidents, Bhe will be
well inside the 2:30 list next fall, but I want no credit that
I am not justly entitled to for any of my stock.

Doctor Aby Shoots.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I send you by express
this a. m. three brace of snipe, a part of my last evening's

bag-

The weather has been so beastly bad sioce my r;-turn from
the city it has been impossible to get ont of door-*

About four o'clock last evening Old Sol poked o it from be-
hind a cloud. The sight was so unusual that R r", my Irish
setter, got up from the hearth rug and made tx r ish at the
door, with a bark of evident delight.

As I opened the door he made a rush towards the mead-
ows, which are only a short walk from the hou>e, stopped
and looked back, as if he expected me to follow.

The invitation was too strong to be refused, as *I1 my in-
clinations were meadowards bent. I got into my h'eb-water
boots and chose the Colt hammerless as my companion, and
with twenty-five shells I started.

I had not gone 500 yards before yak, wbi>r! up went a
beauty, and away went Red on a hot chase.

A "Come io, you red devil" brought him back a ''.withan
admonition to take care, enforced with m; [ o k t whip,
brought him to his work.

A few yards further, and I knew work wn« i. = to re for
me. One moment I waited to Bee the impH i- u< d g stand,
and as the speckled beauties rose with tht-ir i ecili .r (.wist,
bang! bang! in quick succession went my gn>«.

Only one; it should have been two. Befo«t my next shells
were in place up went three more.

Again did one only bite the mud as the do^ was coming in
with the dead bird. He flashed four, and then my very soul
was on fire with enthusiasm, one to the right and one on the
left.

I hugged myself in my delight [in armful.— Ed ]. Out of
twelve shots I got Beven birds and had not moved ten steps.
A little farther on I walked into a regular covey of snipe. Up
they went in all directions. Then I did get wild. Thrice
did I empty mv gun and not a feather. For once I was rat-
tled. After talking to the dog in the moBt forcible Spanish
that I am master of, I wiped out my gun, took a drink of wa-
ter to cool my nerves, etc.

I bad only seven more shells and only seven birds. The
sun hid himself again, and the birds were slow. I had
marked down some singles, and as I walked them up I sim-
ply waited for my shot and put in five straights to my credit
and bag.

"While hunting in my jacket pockets for tobacco, I dug up
six No. 7 shells (had been shooting 8's). Eight more Bhots.

As the dog was hunting for a dead bird, I happened to
look up, and as straight and swift as an arrow a cock bird
was crossing over me about 60 feet high. Up went my piece
ofEdestruction, and as the charge of No. 7's went to meet the
king of game birds there was a collision, and down came the
king at my feet.

Mingled with my yell of "Good boy, Doc," was a thought
"a small bottle on me if my editor could have seen that
■hot!"

With three more easy kills and one miss, and with 15 birds
for 30 shells, I came on back to the genial hot fire, in the old
open tire place. With slippers, cap and pipe, I leaned back
in my comfortable ohair and pitied you fellows fastened up
in town. My last thought was, "Won't I make those snipe
howl tomorrow evening!"

To-morrow evening came, and with it the same desire for
murder of the snipe. I was some little time finding the
birds, as it waR a bright sunshiny afternoon and they were
in the heavy grass. When I did b'nd them, they went up all
at once. I went around hanging away, with as little damage
to the birds as the rankest of Salvation Army fiends cuuld
wish; 12, then two more Bhois, and not a bird. It was then
that plain every-day English could only inadequately express
my feelings. They were simply flying in every direction,
and in the most provokingly Blow and easy way, as when
they are going to feed.

Aftera five minutes rest, and with a clean gun, I re-opened
the charge. Ah! Richard is himself agnin; first a single and
then a double. Seven straights, and all on the ground. As
the dog was bringing them in, two cowards were run up out
of the grass, and immediately bit it agaiD. I began to be
encouraged. I got a couple of flyers that it took the second
barrel to stop.

Twenty-eight shots and only 13 birds! Would I ever get
half? It was getting cold aud late. I started homewards
and picked rp a nice easy pair across tbe brook.

I did get half, and with them was comiDg home, well con-
tent, with my average when just as I was feeling my best
up went a sky scraper. Bang, bang, and not a feather.

I didn't have courage enough loft to swear at the dog sim-
ply told him to go to tbe devil, as he went scampering away
after a very lively bird.
Fifteen out of thirty-two.

Well, if I don't improve, T can't prevent vou and Chief
Callondan wiping my eye, when you come up'next month

lam tired wilh mv trampp, aud it is bedtime, so good-
night, with good luck to th»- boys. ^|y

[Doctor Aby*B average on snipe and every thing else is high,
even at story telliDg. Now that he has established himself in

Canonical Sportsmen-

California, just past its formative period, can recall tbe ser-
vices rendered to the State by the grand men in sacred func,
tions, who, nevertheless, did not fail to meet popular errors-
and who preserved tbe faith in times that were next to anar,
chistic. Name after name comes to mind as we write. Men
rirst, then clergymen, those heroes of the fifties, many of
them were sportsmen of the keenest type, fishermen^ shots
and lovers of Nature.

The recent arreBt and fine of Kev. Dr. Rainsford, of New
York, for killing game illegally prompted a reporter to inter"
view some of the prominent parsons of that town, about their
notions with respect to field sports, and these are the re-
sults:

The magazine articles of tbe Rev. Dr. Henry van Dyke,
pastor of tbe Brick Church in Fifth Avenue, have made the
publio familiar with that gentleman's pasBion for rishing.
Izaak Walton was not a more ardent angler than this enthu-
siastic disciple, who has wet his line in a thousand iakea and
streams. Dr. van Dyke has an unusually large head and a
very small foot, and his body strikes a happy average between
the two extremities, The writer has noticed that men with
big beads, men who think a great deal, whose brains are more
active than their bodies, make the most successful fishermen.
Walton was such a man. Daniel Webster another. Dr.
van Dyke haB an enormouB back head, anabundauce of brown
hair, a full beard of the same color, blue eyes, a prominent
nose, and the ruddy complexion of a man much in the sun.
In every capacity but that of fisherman, he seems nervous and
high strung. When the writer spoke to him on the subject of
recreation, be anBwered bluntly; "The way in which I amuse
myself is nobody's business but my own. The world has no
more business to concern itself with tbe recreations of clergy-
men than with the recreations of any other class of men.
Every clergyman has the right to say, in the words of the
poet:

"I dare do all that may become a man."
He does not fish or shoot in his clerical capacity, but as a
human being. Some of the best ministers that the world has
ever known have been enthusiastic lovers of oat door sports,
and since the day when Peter cast a hook in the sea and took
ont a fish, angling has been a familiar apostolic occupation.
I have no particular concern to defend shooting as a sport,
but I have fished for trout and salmon and grayling in many
parts of the world, and my conscience does not give me a sin-
gle qualm upon the subject. I am only sorry for the fish
that I didn't catch, and grateful for the happy days that God
has permitted me to spend in fishing in his beautiful lakes
and rivers. If any one doesn't like my angling, I advise
him to consider the example of the man in New Jersey, who
made a large fortune by minding his own business, Bat, of
course, a minister has no more right to break the game laws
than any other man, and, if he doeb, the law must first prove
it and then punish him."

Reverend George H. McGrew, of St. Paul's MethodiBt
Episcopal Church, was next interviewed, and Haid: —

"I am passionately fond of fishing and huntirjg, and would
as soon shoot quail over a good dog as wade in water up to
my thighs casting for trout. I can see no harm in either.
Though partial to quail shooting, I do not object to hunting
higger game. When in India I used to go tiger hunting, and
found it loyal sport."

Tbe next call was upon Key. "Wm. M. Taylor, of the
Broadway Tabernacle.

"There reations of a clergyman," he said, "depend large-
ly on the time at his disposal. If he can find the time to
fish, let him fish; if he can find ths time to hunt, let him
hunt. Any sport that is good for a member of my congrega-
tion is good for me. I cannot see the necessity for any dis-
tinctions. Let a man be controlled by his conscience. I
don't try to control other men's consciences, because I have
as much as I can do to control my own."
'Do you fish?"

"Not now; but I used to be very fond of it. My last fish-
ing was done in Mooaehead Lake several years ago."
"Do you shoot?"

"No. I fear if I should go shooting I should break my
neck."

Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkbum of the Madison Square
Presbyterian church was the next to speak.

Dr. Parkhurst takes the broad ground that what is proper
for the layman is proper for the clergyman, and what is im-
proper for the clergyman is improper for the layman. Said
he:—

"I think there is a little meanness on the part of the lay-
men, who seem to believe that because they are laymen they
can do things that a clergyman ought not to do. A woman
of my congregation said to me the other day, after describ-
ing the performance at a theater she had visited the nfght
before: 'Oh, I wish you could have seen it, but then I Bhould
have been Borry to see you there.1 "
"Do you Bhoot or fish, doctor?"

"I do not. They are sports that never appealed to me, but
I see no harm id them. If a clergyman wantB to do either
the one of the other, or both, I say let him. It's nobody's
business but his."

A Baptist clergyman who goes a-fishing whenever he gets
a chance, but wouldn't shoot a quail for all the world, may
be regarded as a novelty. Such a man is the Kev. W. H. P.
Fauuce, the new pastor of the Fifth Avenue BaptiBt Church.
Mr. Faonce is a young man of nervous-sanguine tempera-
ment— sandy hair. Bandy mustache, Bandy complexion. He
is exceedingly affable, and "makes friends" with a man in
short order. When the writer asked bim to explain how he
could Lave soruples against shooting and none against fish-
ing, he said:

"In shooting birds or larger game we often take the life of
creatures whose organization is its high as our own, or even
higher, whereaB in fishfng we only destroy a much lower or-
der of creation. I have no objection to killing an inseot,
and see no harm in taking a £Uh."

Dr. Rubert Collyer was next called upon.
Being invited to enter, the first question, as usual was: —
"Do yon shoot?"

The answer was long in coming. It was easy to see that
the Doctor, taken Bomewbat by surprise at the absurdity of
the question, had suddenly gone baok in the recesses of his
memory to something stowed away there more than fifty
years ago. The discovery of it caused him to smile away
down Mow the belt. "When a man like Dr. Collyer smiles
he smiles all over,

"IneverBhot a gun but once in my life," he said, "and
that was by accident. It came near killing another boy. I
was fifteen years old at the time."

"Of course yon follow iba example of St. Peter and Izaak
Walton?"

"Fishing is my favorite sport, though I have not practiced
it since I was in Colorado."

"You Bee nothing objectionable, then, in either hunting or
fishing?"

"I think it is wrong to hunt bs hares are hunted— by
coursing. That is a species of cruelty which I cannot ap-
prove. As for fishing, where lies the harm? When you
throw in your hook and pull out a fine trout, and lay him
down on the fresh grass, and he wriggles and wriggles, and
jumps abont flapping his tail on one side, then rolling over
and flapping it on the other, I think be enjoys it twice as
much as you do. He seems perfectly happy, doesn't he? He
seems to thank you for taking him out of the water and let-
ting him frolic in the grass. Anyway, that is the view I try
to take of it."

Accompanying bib visitor to the elevator, the Doctor sud-
denly broke out with: —

"Oh by-the-bv that was too bad about poorRainsford wps-
n't it. To think that he should have got into such trouble!
Poor fellow. I'm sorry it happened."

"Bnt doctor, he broke the game law. and the general im-
pression is that he got off light. Only $25 and costs you
know. Dr. Rainsfotd is very popular in Southampton, and
the judge didn't want to fine him at all."

"Yes. yes, tbey all like sporting parsons, and we fellows do
manage to g*t oft' very easy, I admit."

"Go talk with Dr. Bridgman; you'll find him a capital fel-
low.*' paid a wellkoown member of the Madison Avenue Bap-
tist Church, over which Dr. Bridgman presides.

He was right. The doctor is a charming man, babbling
over with wisdom, wit and allegory, and therefore good na-
tured. cheerful an I full of the milk of human kindness.

"I have hardly time to think of recreation during the work
year," he said. "When vacation time arrives in the summer
I rush across the water and bury myself in the heart of Lon-
don where I loaf. Yes, literally loaf. Last Bummer I went
to Holland and still enjoy thinking about those delightful
old Dutch pictures that I saw. I hardly think I shall go
abroad next year, however. I have an idea I should like to
go a-fiehing."
"Ah, you fish?"

"It is the only sport for which I have an attachment. I
can plsy fool at one end of a fishing pole for four hours with
the expectaiion of getting a bite at the end of that time."
"And if the bite doean't come?"

"Why, I'm willing to play the fool four hourB longer."
Do you shoot."

"In the matter of shooting I think 1 may say that I have
an unbeaten record. In the course of my life I have shot a
gun four times. My trophies were a robin, two deer and a
hole through my 6hoe."

"Then you never missed a shot."

"Never missed a shot. When I was a boy I borrowed a
gun from another boy and went hunting. As I had never
seen anybody load a gun, it waB but natural that I should be
extravagant with my shot and prodigal with my powder.
The charge that I put in must have filled tha barrel about
half full. When everything was ready and primed, I espied
a robin sitting in a tree and crept stealthily upon him. Be-
ing ambitiouB of succe3s, I continued to creep till the muzzle
of my gun was within ten feet of the unfortunate creatare,
then, taking long and careful aim, I pulled the trigger. The
effect was disastrous at both ends. I remember turning two
somersaults backward, and getting up with my jaw iu my
hands, while blood streamed from my ni'uth. But I went
for the bird, and found it, or what was left of it. My aim
had been perfect. The entire load had passed through its
body, taking everything with it except the two wings and a
shred of skin. That was my first shot. My second wbb very
humiliating. "We were out deer hunting, and it fell to my
lot to stand in a certain spot and do the shooting, while the
rest of the fellowB did the driving. Tbey got up several
fine deer, which galloped by mein easy range, but their move-
ments were so graceful, and I was so delighted with watch-
ing them, as to forget entirely my great responsibility. Sud-
denly, however, the gun went off, I mnst have pulled the
trigger unconsciously, and the load passed through the toe
of my shoe. But that wasn't the worst of it. PreUy soon
the boys came running up, and the first question tbey fired
at me wae: 'Did you hit him, Charley?' My other two shots
were made in the Adirondaekp, where I was camping with
Dr. Loomis, and each brought down a deer."

Rev. Ensign McChesnev, pastor of the Madison Avenue
Methodist Episcopal Church, said hia favoriie pastime was
fishing, but he did not shoot. Many other clergymen were
interviewed but their opinions are reflected in the reBpouses
given and the consensus, was strongly in favor of free prac-
tice of field sports.

During the recent floods at Anaheim every hummook was
swarming with bares aod rabbits that were driven from the
plains. They were slaughtered by thousands by boys aud
men, who used sticks, and when tired of the sport tbey
would run the poor beasts off their dry places into the raging
waters.

A prominent oitizen of Woodland went out robin shooting
the other day and was ordered out of almost every field he
got into. He does not want to Bhoot in a man's field when
the owner objects, and finally gave up the sport and returned
to town. People who have vineyards, orchards and stock
do not care to take the chances of reckless hunters, but sel-
dom fail to accord permission to shoot when properly ap-
proached.

Wm. Nattrass killed a large California lion on his ranch,
near San Lucas, on Sunday. At a rough estimate the animal
was considered to be eight feet from tip to tip. Several
more of these destructive animals have their dens in the
hills, and make midnight excursions to the ranches in the
vicinity. Young calveB, sheep and bogs sutler considerably
from tbe attacks of these vicious beasts.

Martin Stryker and a friend known as "Fred" were hunting
on Sunday near Henley, Siskiyou County. They took differ-
ent ridges to cover more ground, and Fred seeing Stryker's
bead above the opposite ridge, shot thinking it was a head of
a deer. The ball entered in front and below the ear aud it is
feared that the wound iB fatal. . t

Tbe recklessness with which riflemen turn loose at every
moving thing is appalling, but will probably continue until
the race of fools becomes extinct*

"Please don't shoot the cows" is a sign on the premises of
a Pennsylvania farmer, placed there for the benefit of city
sportsmen who go out after rabbi to- The farmer means well,
but he will have his trouble for his pains. Hunters who mis-
take cows for rabbits couldn't see snch a sign.

The rooms of the Students and Sportsmen's Clubat Bakers-
field have been elegantly furnished by Mr. Truxton Beale,
who seems to have done a great deal toward it as a labor of
love. He haB sent from this city, two oil paintings by M.
Valencia, two valuable etchings, one showing the water front
of Warwick Castle and the other a view of Windsor, with the
castle in bold relief; two very handsome engravings of dogs,
and three delightful pictures which seem to be steel engrav-
iog.-i imprinted upon satin. Added to this for the a lornment
of the walls, is a set of furniture both handsome and comfor-
table. Altogether it maKes as line a club room as can be
found outside of any large city and it will become the choice
place of resort for the Bohemian contingent. All membeis
of the Kuights of the Trigger are ex-ofncio Studeuts and
Sportsmen and all other males who were members of the
other clubs have an opportunity to become members by
paying the difference between their former initiation fee and
$5 the former fee for becoming a Knight. Doubtless a full
set of by-laws will soon be adopted, as there is every indica-
tion that the new club with its elegant rooms, will become
a central resort.

Last week while riding up a creek about eight miles above
Caliente. J. E. Miller, of Bakersfield, came upon a golden
eagle. The bird had killed a yearling lamb and had so gorged
itself that it was not active in rising and Miller lassoed it
with a bit of cotton rope. He then watched his chance and
caught one wiog and then the other and by using a good deal
of patient strategy managed to tie its feet without getting
clawed, or torn by its viciouB bill. Then he had it so se-
cure that ha carried it home under his arm, as handily as
Brudder Bones woold tote a more eatable bird home from a
neighbor's hen roost. He made a cage and the noble bird
can now be seen at the Caliente depot It is full grown, has
tremendous claws and looks at one steadily with clear un-
tameable, unconquerable eyep. It is really a prize, but then,
so is a white elephaDt, and what to do with him is a puzzling
question. — C. E. Sherman, in Kern County Californian.

[Keep that bird alive at all hazards until field trial time,
and permit us to feed Mr Fred A. Taft to him. Taft agrees
with eagles when administered in small dosas, plain, — Ed]

BASE BALL.

Make-up of the Clubs for Next Season— Harris
.thrown Out.

Henry Harris has been counted „ut, and the brains of the
California League declares that he will not again have any-
thing to do with that organization. The jot was consum-
mated at Sacramento last Saturday night, when, after it was
decided not to increase the league to six clubs, the Directors
voted to retain Stockton, and rejected the application of San
Jose. Harris had worked up the people of the Garden city
to such a pitch, that he had been guaranteed plenty of capital
to carry a club through at least one season, and under his
management it would probably have become a paying and
permanent member of the league. On the other hand, Stock-
ton never has and never will support a ball club, and it is
silver to copper that the Slough city club will not finish the
season; or if it does, it will be with a team of fourth class
men that will not attract 300 people to a Sunday game. The
moneyed mon of Stockton have grown tired of putting up
their coin to supoort a ball club, and even if the team plays
the string out, it will be the last season for soma time that
the city of wind-mills will have a professional ball team.
Possibly the league Directors know their business, but there
are few outsiders who would gamble on it.

We are not to get much of a rest from base ball after all.
Tbe players in this citv have formed a three team League and
will play Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays at Central Park.
If the ventuie is a success, the boys say they will carry out
their proposed Brotherhood scheme and establish a perman-
ent Leagae in opposition to the old organization. The play-
ers are getting frightened at the large number of Eastern m< n
who are signing with the California League, and have at last
awakened to the fact that something must be done immedi-
ately to save themselves from being left out in the cold.
Among the men who will play at Central Park are Van Hal-
tten. Brown, Nick Smith and nearly all the favorites of last
seasons League Clubs.

The make up of the Oakland team foT next season so far as
ean be ascertained will be: Homer and Warner, of New
H.iven, for one battery; Mebrle, pitcher; Cartwright, of 8t.
Joseph, firBt base; Jim McDonald, second base; Tom Forster,
of the Western Association, short stop; Norris O'Neill, third
base; Charles O'Neil, of the Tri-State League, left field; Dan-
ny Long, center field. A change catcher and right fielder is
yet to be signed.

George Zeigler, of the Sacramento team, has returned from
the East and announces the following players as having been
secured: Bjrchers and Zeigler, pitchms; Williim Bowman,
of Whet ling, W Va., catcher; Ed Stapleton, of Detroit, first
base; Henry P. Rcitz, of Chicago, second base; John Godar,
Cincinnati, third base; J*ck Daly, Chicago, short atop; Good-
enongh, center field. A u effort has been made to Becure
Roberts, but the youngster wants a National League salary.

Borchers is at liberty to sign with any club in tbe coun-
try. When he was blacklisted by tbe California League that
body was not a member of the National agreement, conse-
quently tbe black list does not now hold. As Borchers was
only fucpeuded by the Eastern clubs, a suspension only

holding for a single season, the glas3-eating track walker has
a perfect right to sign a Sacramento contract.

Bill Smalley and Charlie Dooley have both signed with the
Cleveland League team. The latter and his wife have left
for New York,

Stallings has gone to Jacksonvilfe, Fla. He was anxious
to have Coughlan accompany him, but Roscoe preferred to
remain in this city until he has to report for duty with the
Chicago League team.

Harris will transfer the men signed for his San Jose Clob
to Manager Finn. The San Francisco Club will probably
include Meegan and Incell, pitchers; Power, 6rst base; How-
ard, second base; Stickney, third base; Shea, Bhort stop; Le-
vy, left field; Hanley, right field, with two catchers to alter-
nate in right field.

So far the Slookton management has made no move to-
wards securing any men for the coming Beason, which opens
March 23rd and closes November 23rd,

THE KENNEL

Dog owners are requested to Bend for publication tbe earliest possi-
ble notices of wbelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths,
In their kennels, in all instances writing plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed.

Name Claimed.

Mr. J. M. Bassford, Jr.. claims the name Nick White for a

A Notable Death.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The Bay View Kennel
mourns the death of Ladv Elaine by Romeo out of Rural
Nellie, whelped Oct. 2, 1889, one of the most promising pups
I ever bred. She had the speed of her dam and the tose
and sense of her aire. I had begun shooting over her and
her little lister Lynne'te owned by Dr. Foolkes, of San Fran-
cisco, and it was a pretty sight to see the pair point and back
like old dogs and retrieve without ruffling a feather. Only
two days before we found ber dead in the kennel, I noticed
her pick up a small piece of coal and before I conld get to
her she swallowed it which I feel Bure caused her death.
She was growing to be a very handsome bitch with black ears,
fine tan markings over eyes and under jaws, with body hand-
somely blue ticked. So one more noble Llewellin has passed
to the happy hunting grounds. C. A. Loud.

Pacific Beach, Jan. 12, 1890.

George T. Allender is located on the Wible Rancho, about
thirteen miles from Bakersfield with his string of dogs for the
field trials.

Judge C. N. Post went down to Bakersfield last week to
overlook tbe final preparation of his dogs for the field trials.
He undoubtedly has some good ones, and his dogs are always
sent to win if it lies within their hides.

Mr. Joe Bassford's Scout Croxteth — Blossom pointer is bred
to run, if there is anything in blood . Bow, Sleaford, Vande-
vort's Don, Croxteth, Bang, Hamlet, and a score of other
names as notable, appear in the pedigree. The dog is a fine
looker, and promises as well as any pup ever bred by Mr.
Bassford.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender wrote from Bakersfield early in the
week that his dogs were shaping up well. Mr. Schreiber's
Nestor, which showed such superior natural quality last year,
is particularly promising on single birds. No news has come
from either Mr.^Walter, Mr. Geo. "W. Bassford or Mr. De
Mott, so that it may be concluded that everything is well with
them.

"When this issue reaches the homes of our leading sports,
men the heads of the families will not receive it — they will
have left on their yearly pilgrimage to that Mecca of all who
truly love the most refined phase of field sport, the field trial.
The article in another column about the sportsmanly tastes
of reverend gentlemen is couched in moderate terms. If
those men could participate in one field trial there would be
more vividness in their phrasing.

A dainty pamphlet indeed is that prepared by Mr. W. E
Houghton of Bakersfield, in which the articles recently pub-
lished in this paper abont the trip to the top of Mount
Whitney are reprinted. In writing the articles, Mr. C. E.
Sherman interwove a vast deal of information aboat early
times in Kern that will grow more valuable as time passes,
and the footprints of the sturdy pioneers come to be properly
esteemed.

President Ramon E. Wilson of the Pacific Kennel Club
has appointed"Me3srs. William Schreiber, Thomas J. O'Keeffe,
Clarence A. Haight and H. H. Briggs a committee to confer
with a committee from the California Konnel Club for the
purpose of devising Eome plan to amalgamate tbe clubs. Such
an end is most desirable aod we hope the committees will be
guided Bolely by regard for the best interests of the doggy
world, and not by any personal prejudices.

This is for Kern County shooters by an effete Eastern en-
thusiast. "Take him all round, and designate him what you
will — game or vermin — the rabbit is about tbe most satisfactory
bird or beast or insect or reptile, whatever be may really be
to pursue in any shape or fo^ro. You can hunt him with dogs
of all sort, sizes and breeds You can stalk him with a small
bjre rifle and pot him (or otherwise) when you consider you
are within range of him. You can track him in the snow to
his lair, and proceed as soemth best to you to endeavor to
achieve his destraction. You can oust him from the bowels of
the earth with the co-operation of the insidious and insinuat-
ing ferret and smite him hip and tbigh as he scurries away,
metaphorically laughing in his sleeve;to think how easily be
has fooled his keen scented but slow footed deteotive. He
beeps you busily employed all the time in u good days' covert
shooting, and last, but not least, he is sncculent and tooth-
some (when not too ripe in years), no matter how you have
introduced him to the cooks."

A prominent sportsman of Bakersfield, Mr.Truiton Beale,
son of General E, F. Beale, is projecting great improvements
upon the property owned in that city by tbe General. Among
other schemes is one to build up a great sportsman's club and
shooting preserve, and Mr. Beale says of the Bcheme:—

"It is not generally known as it Bhould be that a number
ot gentlemen who are interested in preserving the game in
our section of the State have organized a dub to which we
have given the name of The Knights of the Trigger.'

"There are already aboat 100 members, and wtieu the pur-
poses for which the club was organized become more gener-
ally known we hope to enlist the interest of naturalislB and
gentlemen fond of field sports in every part of tbe Stale.

"It is a well known fact that yearB ago antelope, deer and
game of all kinds were remarkably abundant in" the section
ot the country embraced in the Haggin & Carr and Miller &
Lux rauohes. The pot-hunters had pretty nearly extermin-
ated the larger game when we took hold of the'iaatter and
determined that the same thing should not happen to the
antelope that has to the baffalo, namely, an almost complete
extermination of this beautiful and characteri&tto American
animal.

"So far as the right to take game of any kind on the 600,-
000 acreB of land comprising tbe three ranches above name'd
is concerned, it has been confided to the Knights of the Trig-
ger, and all complaints are sworn out by and all prosecutions
poshed by the club.

The purpose is not to create a monopoly of sport, or to
exclude proper persons from hunting in a sportsman-like
manner, but to bo regulate affairs on this immense preserve
that the greatest amount of rational sport may be enjoyed by
the greatest number of lovers of true sport.

There 1b a ohib house at Bakersfield for the accommodation
of the members, and the dnea have been placed at the low
figure of S6 per annum, so as to be within the means of any-
one desiring to join us.

We think theie are enough public-spirited men in the State
who will cooperate with us to create an interest in the sub-
ject of game preserving in other sections.

We thougbt^once we had timber enough tolastfor all time,
but no thoughtful man believes it now. And it was just so
wiih the game, so plentiful on our hills and in our valleys.
The wasteful and wanton destruction of everything that could
be shot at has nearly exterminated certain kinds— the most
interesting. There are older communities than ours where
the sportsman may enjoy a day with the gun and dogs with
less trouble and expense than he can in California.

It iB to be hoped that our example will be followed by oth-
ers, and that game districts will be formed and regulated
with the same wisdom that always manifests itself when our
people take hold of any matter in earnest.

Its value to the State at large can hardly be estimated, for
when you add to the climate of the State the attraction of
ep'endid shooting, it will draw thousands of people of means
and leisure, many of them will come to stay."

ROD.

Oregon Fish Commission.

The third annual report of F. C. Reed, E. P. Thompson
and R. C. Campbell, constituting the Oregon State Fish Com-
mibsion, in relation to salmon, states that the total value of
salmon packed and consumed in home markets shows a
grand total of 82,700,000. Great stress is laid upon the im-
portance of hatcheries and the Commission cites statistics of
work in that direction carried on prior to this year in the
Fraser river. Since 1882 and up to 1S89 there had been a
steady decrease of salmon, but 14,646,000 ot fry planted in
1885-6-7 8 has resulted m tbe packing on Fraser river in the
reason of 376 000 cases, the largest pack in the history of the
river. The value of the product of the U. S. is S6.054.000
and that of British Columbia $2,119,000. Besides, in 1888,
S47.236 is to be credited to shad, smelt and torn cod. It is
expected that the fry of 1887 will return and swell the catch
of next year. The salaries and expenses of the Commission-
era were $1,925.

What is a Fishinff Privilege?

In 1859, the legislature of California passed a law to regu-
late the salmon fisheries of Eel river, in Humboldt County.
By the terms of this law the sole and exclusive right to caich
fish went with the title to lands bordering on the river. If
Mr. Smith's land lay along the river he was supposed by the
law to control the right to salmon fishing between the east-
ern and western boundaries of his line as absolately as he
controlled his fields or timber lots. When he sold the land
he also conveyed the fishing privilege.

Fishing seems, for a time at least, to have been carried on
within the intent of the law, and property has from time to
time changed hands, the "privilege" goiug with tLe proper-
ty. Mr. E M. Heckman is now in possession of one of these
privileges, but of late years other fishermen on the river have
set up a claim to the greater privilege of fishing wherever
they can find water enoogh to float a salmon —even on Mr.
Heckman's "privilege." To this he objects, and a month ago
brought suit to quiet title to his ftater lot. Alberto Robert-
sou, Smith Fulmore and others beiog joined as defendants
in the suit.

The caBe was heard by Judge Hunter last week, when he
sustained defendant's demurrer, but allowed plaintiff fifteen
days to file an amended complaint.

The case involves nice questions of law — the constitution-
ality of the act under whicn the "privilege" is sought to be
maintained, and the right of injunction, the effect of subse-
quent legislation under which State lands were disposed of,
etc. No damage was asked; tbe plaintiff simply wants judi-
cial opinion as to whether the exelosive right and privilege
which be bought is a privilege in fact, or whether he is ex-
peeted to maintain it for the use and benefit of bis neigh-
bors to the detriment of himself.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Secramento River
Fishermen's Protective Ubion held at Benbia on Tuesday of
la&t week 300 members being present, the price of salmon for
the coming season was fixed at 5 cents a poand for spring and
4 cents for fall. Eistern capital has been enlisted at Martinez
and the old steel works is being converted 'into a cannery.
Several other other new canneries will run the coming sea-
son.

Private Robert Ward writes to the Ferndale Enterprise
from Fort Gaston as follows: "We are to have a full-fledged
fish hatchery in this valley, Lieutenant-Commander Brice,
of tbe U. S. Navy, aud a fish expert have been here superin-
tending the construction of the bmldinga and tanks. They
expeot to turn many tbouneands of young salmon, as well aa
other varieties of fish. loose in tbe rivets before the clo?e of
the coming season. This piece of news will undoubtedly be
cheerfully received by those intereettd in the fishing indus-
try on Eel river."

Antevolo Sold Again.
When Antevolo was sold his former owner claimed
that the horse was worth §40,000, and it is evident that
others think so as well as Joseph Cairn Simpson, for
the telegraph informs us that R. Steele, of Philadelphia
has sold the California colt to parties in Michigan for
$40,000. Antevolo is one of the best colts that ever left
this State and that it was one of the improving kind
is evident in the fact that only a few weeks ago, Mr.
Steele announced through the sporting press that he
would endeavor to give Antevolo a low mark next sea
son, and the figure was placed at 2:13 or 2:14. His owner
must have had some grouuda for the belief in his speed
or that story would never have been Bent broadcast to
the trotting horse world. However, it is to be hoped
that the new owners will give him a chance, for his
prawnt mark is no measure of his speed.

Santa Rosa-

An item under the heading of Turf and Track, in-
forms the public that the Directors of the Santa Rosa
Association have had their annual meeting and elected
new officers for the ensuing year. So far so good, but
there is a line or two at the end ot the item which calls
for comment. "The sentiment of the Board is opposed
to holding a fair or races this year, unless a disposition
different from that of former years is manifested by the
people in this part of the country." It Beems a shame
that such a resolution was passed, and yet the Directors
were comoelled in justice to themselves to let the people
of Santa Rosa know that there would be no more racing
at that point, unless the citizens are willing to financial-
ly assist the gentlemen who usually have to put their
bands in their pocketBand pay a deficiency eaoh year.
During the year 1889, Napa made money, and Peta-
luma scored a financial success, but Santa Rosa lost.
There were more Santa Rosa people at the Petaluma
race track on one certain day, than there were Santa
Rosa residents on any day at the track during the late
Santa Rosa Meeting. They seem to have lost all inter-
est in their own town and are all" looking for the al-
mighty dollar, without giving the requisite support to
those who are trying to keep up the sport of the kings at
that point. From the present outlook, Santa Rosa will
be dropped from the circuit and it is nothing more than
is due to the Santa Rosans for the lukewarm manner in
which they have supported the late Directors in their
efforts to secure good sport.

The San Jose Stakes.

The Agricultural Society of the Garden City is the
first to advertise their yearling stakes to the country.
The stake ib a peculiar one; it is for certain stallions
which are mentioned in the advertisement, and the own-
ers of each stallion must pay into the society $100, or
the get of the stallion is not eligible. The other condi-
tions are as follows:

The colts from the horses that make the deposit must pay
$15 on March 1. 1890; $15 on June 1, 1890, and $20 on
August 1, 1890; $300 added by the Society.

The conditions are as follows: To be trotted duriDg fair
week of 1890, one-half mile heats.

Stake deposit and added money divided 66 per cent, to
first, 30 per cent, to second and 10 per ceut. to third.

National Association rules to govern except as herein stated.

For a walk-over the colt will take the whole stake, but no
added money.

If two colts start they must contest for the deposit and
stake money only, divided two-thirds and one-third.

A colt distancing the field will take the whole stake, but no
added money.

Declarations are void unless accompanied by the money.

Nominations not making payments when due forfeit previ-
ous payments.

All colts properly entered in this stake if sold will be en-
titled to start. If it is the opinion of the judges before start-
ing this race that it cannot be finished on the closing day of
the fair, it may be continued.

Entries for the stallions close February 1st. Entries for
the colts close March 1st.

The Stake is worthy of the support of all breeders, and

should receive liberal patronage.

and the entire stable must have been in flameB before
the alarm was given, as it was impossible to save any of
the valuable animals. Messrs. Clark and Hopper paid
$51,000 for Bell Boy, the greatest price ever paid for a
horse at public auction, because they were satisfied tha'
the investment was a gocd one, and yet, after paying
this enormous sum, it cau hardly be said they exprcised
due caution in the choice of a place to keep the horse.
There Bhould be no chance whatever to lose such a life,
for money cannot replace it, and his services are gone
for all time. Too much care cannot be taken; stallion
stalls should always have more thau one exit, and the
doors should only be fastened in such a way that the
first person present could remove the inmates. See that
every precaution is takeD against the devastating ele-
ment.

The Field Trials.

A Sad Loss.

The mau who suggested that racing was the "sportof
kings," turned a pretty phrase, but if he conld have Been
a well conducted field trial under favorable conditions'
the sport with fine setters and pointers would have been
given preference. That there is excitement of the most
intense sort in coursing or horse racing cannot be denied,
but in both sports there are but few qualities, compara-
tively, to be tested. Given speed, stamina and heart,
and the race with either horses or hounds is generally a
mere matter of a run. But when men go afield with
dogs and guns to compete uuder field trial rules the com-
petitions present multiform points of iuterest to every
reflective mind. Primarily the contests are between
dogs, but in course of training the magnificent animals
become so knowing and so fully in sympathy with their
masters that dog and man come to be rather comple-
ments, then entities and the races are fair measures both
of the natural pointing instinct and other attributes of
the good field dog, and of the quickness of perception,
patience and Bportsmanly habits of the handler. Mere
speed avails little in a field trial. Stamina alone is
valueless. High pointing instinct by itself is inimical
to success. Any and all natural qualities conduce only
slightly to winning if they be not thoroughly refined,
confirmed and developed by studious, judicious care on
the part of man. The earlier stages of a field trial are
interesting, but as heat after heat is run and the poorer
dogs are weeded out, the interest intensifies to such a de-
gree as to become absorbing, even to veterans in other
lines of sport.

Poplar Grove Breeding Farm.

Last Saturday night we received a telegram from our
Kentucky correspondent, stating that Bell Boy, 2:191,
and all of the Macy Stable at Versailles, Ky., had been
destroyed by fire. Of course the report created consider-
able excitement, and calls were frequent at this office to
learn the latest particulars. The more valuable of the

horses that were burned beside Bell Boy were:

Arden, a bay stallion three years old, by Nutwood,
dam Adele Clark, $6,000; owned by O. T. Mackey of
New York.

A bay filly two years old, by Red "Wilkes, $2,000;
owned by Judson H. Clark.

Forward, a bay stallion four years old, by Onward,
$4,000; owned by H. H. Culbertson of Versailles.

Cookey, a bay filly three years old, by Messenger
Chief, dam Cuckoo, $2,500; owned by Stewart Brums-
field of Danville, Ky.

Buckner, Belmont stallion, $2,500; owned by T. W.
Hendry of Chicago.

You and I, two year old twin fillies, $4,000.
Fannie Fern and Lena D., $2,000 each.
Three Messenger Chief Colts, two year olds, were also
lost, besides other horses valued at $2,000, or less.

Iu all, forty head, worth $125,000 were burned, Bell
Boy being placed at $51,000. It is said that $102,000
was recently refused for him.

Other property lossea aggregated $25,000; insurance,
$20,000. This includes $13,000 on Macey's stable. A
$2,500 dwelling belongiug to ex-Governor Thomas Por-
ter waB also destroyed.

Such a frightful disaster always carries dismay to the
heart of the ordiuary reader, and at once the query is
asked, "What precautions have been used by the ptoprie.
tors to prevent such a loss of equine life? Iu the present
iustap.ee the fire occured at four o'clock in the morning,

S. N. Straube of Fresno is one of the progressive breeders
of the San Joaqnin Valley, and has improved his stock so
muoh that a visit to Fresno is never considered complete un-
less a call is made at Mr. Straube's place. He has over sev-
enty brood mares, many of them standard bred, and he is
continually adding to their number. His stallionB are the
grandly bred Clovis 4909, Apex 8935, and Jnnio, who is eligi-
ble to registration, but has not been numbered yet. The
latter horse has been leased by Mr. Straube to cross with his
Clovis, Apex and Pasha fillies. Mr. John DoDahoo has sev-
eral of the Poplar Grove Farm youngsters iu training at the
Fresno Fair Grounds, all of whom are showing up to the sat-
isfaction of owner and trainer, Junio is looking better than
he ever was in his life, and should make a very successful
season in the stud. An unnamed two year old colt by Elec*
tion, dam Fanny by Romulus, is of exceedingly great prom-
is*, and as Fanny is the dam of Lizzie Thome, there are
grounds for the belief that the new comer will be speedy,
Elsie, by Clovis, is another of thoBe threatened with speed,
and although only at work a short time is giving satisfaction
to the handler.

A three-year-old brown colt by Clovis has been nicknamed
'•Nick" for the time being, but will have a more high sound-
ing name when it becomes necessary. His dam is Fleet-
wing by "Winthrop 505. 2nd dam Sallie Ward by Pacific, he
by Niagara. This would be a grand yonog stock horse for
anyone who desires the services of a yormg stallion, and as
he is for Bale at a reasonable figure, should be snapped up
eagerly by some of the younger breeders. Mr. Straube has
also several good brood mares and fine young stock which
can be had at a bargain. The advertisement of the stallions
will be found under the proper heading. Junio will stand
at the Fair Ground, Fresno, while Clovis and Apex will
serve mares at the farm.

Wonderful, isn't it, how some people manage to hide
their light under a bushel? Mr. F. F. Kerr of New-
man, SanislauB County, owns a bay stallion sired by
Anteros [full brother to Anteeo, 2:16£ (sire of Alfred G.f
2:19g, and Redwood, 2.24£), and to Antevolo, 2:19£].
His dam was aired by Nutwood, 2: 18$ (half brother to
Maud S., 2:083), and his grandam by Roodhouse's St.
Lawrence, who has twice proved himself the begetter of
sires of producing dams. Mr. Kerr is not a horseman,
or he would have let us know what sort of a horse he
had hidden away in bis alfalfa fields.

Oregon beoree.

Gkeenville, Plumas Count?, Cal., Deo. 30, 1889.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman.— I saw an inquiry in
regard to Oregon George, and I will give yon all the infor-
mation I can torth. benefit of tbe inquirer. John M. Shaw
BBye that in 1854 Luke Savage owned old Oregon George at Sa-
lem, Oregon, who wan a quarter horee, un-l there were frequent
races between the George stock and the Veto stock, owned by
English. The Oregon Gtorge which sired the dam of Ash-
ley came to Indian Valley, Plumas Connty, in about 1865.
He was a large sorrel horse with white feet and bald face; be
ran here in half mile races and also the fnll mile heats; could
go a mile in from 1:56 to 2 minutes. Wm. Bolinger bronght
some running bred horBes to this valley. His brother Char-
ley gambled off a small mare, one of thi IA, to a party who
sold her to James Wesl-ey, who bred her to Oregon George
and got the dam of Ashley. Jack Cochran ought to know
who brought Oregon George to Indian Valley. C. M. Law-
rence and Jack Cochran gave $71 for the dam of Ashley
after Ashley began to show some speed. She bred several
colts by Plumas, one or two mares, and Jaok Hathaway
drives a full brother to Ashley in a buggy here. He is a sor-
rel, with bald face and white legs, anrt has trotted in 3:17.
One of tbe fillies was a bay, and could trot in about 3 min-
utes; the other I never saw. Yours, etc.,

SCRATCHES IN HOUSES.

This is not a disease, but merely the result of negligence
en behalf of grooms intrusted with the care of horses.
Horses when coming in from work should have their legs
well washed and then thoroughly dried, either with a sponge
or a dry rubber.

Answer. — The treatment should be as follows: If the case
is a bad one poultice with flaxseed poultices until the in-
flammation and pain has become reduced. After, apply ox-
ide of zino ointment. If the legs swell very much give a
dose of cathartic medicine. To prevent this complaint I
would advise that horses which have to work during the wet
and muddy weather; vaseline or pure lard rubbed into the
legs will have the desired effect.

I claim and have advertised that my colt El Benton (by
Electioneer, oat of Nellie Benton by Gen. Benton) is a brother
in blood to Sunol, 2:10*. who is by Elections er, out of Wax-
ana by Gen. Benton; and base my claim on lhe fact that El
Benton carries 75 percent, of the blood of Sunol, 50 per cent.
of the blood of the sire Electioneer, and 25 per cent, of the
blood of the sire of the dam Gen. Benton. My understand-
ing of the meaning of the term brother or sister in blood is
the possession of from 65 to 90 per cent, of identical blood;
the best use of the term is to denote a degree of relationship
between half sister or brother and full sister or brother.
Please tell me if I am correct, as one or two people have
argued the point with me.

Answer —The term brother in blood is commonly used to
denote a relationship, which is intermediate between half
brother and full brother, and is used to olassify a horse bred
as is yonis when spoken of in conjunction with a mare bred
as is Sunol.

Dr. W. Henry Jones, Veterinary Editor Breeder and
Sportsman: — I have a valuable bitch which was hurt in one
eye about Bis weeks ago. The eye is quite dosed and she
suffers considerable pain. Can yon do anything for her?

Answer. — Foment with warm water until the inflammation
has subsided. Then apply a lotion of nitrate of silver, 5
grains to the ounce of distilled water. If there is no im-
provement, consult some veterinary surgeon.

Dr Wm. H. Jones, Veterinary Editor Breeder and
Sportsman — Dear Sir: — Will you please explain the
following? I have got a bay mare, three years old, and she
was Bhod last week for the first time. Ever since that Bhe
has been lame in both legs. Will you please give the rea-
Bon? Very respectfully, Geo. N. Williamson, City.

Jan. 14, 1890.

Answer. — Your inquiry with reference to bay mare is rath-
er ambiguous. What I would suggest is that you have the
shoes removed and the fett poulticed. The probability is
that the shoes are badly 6tted, and hence the cause of lame-
ness. In tbe event of the mare not becoming sound, I
would advise you to call in a doly qualified veterinarv sur-

geon.

Improvements at Morris Park.

Mr. John A. Morris, the owner of this handsome property,
is n«t satisfied with it to remain idle 335 days in the year.
Rightly and justly unwilling is he that its employments
should be limited to the thirty days allowed by the laws of
New York for horse racing, for that would scarcely repay for
the immense amount of time, labor, and capital that has
been expended in itB construction. A million aad a half dol-
lars has already been used in buying the land for Morris
Park and fitting it up for a race traok, and now another half
million will be spent in so completing it that it may be used
for some purpose or other a hundred or two hundred, or per-
haps every day in the year.

Briefly, .the present scheme is as follows: In the great in-
ner field, opposite the grand stand and the paddock, and
bounded by the Eolipae course, the lower turn and the back-
stretch of the race track, grounds will be laid out specially
adapted for games of baseball, football, lacrosse, athletic con-
tests of all kindB, lawn tennis and croquet, a cinder track
will be constructed and Bpecial stands will be erected for the
accommodation of spectators. On the knoll, juBt below the
grand Btand and between it and the secretary's office, will
be built a clubhouse, surpassing in architecture, size and ap-
pointment anything of its kind to be found on any race
track in the world, and superior for club purposes to any-
thing outside of the great cities.

GOOD NEWS FOR ATHLETES.

I met Mr. Morris at the rooms of the New York Jockey
Club, Fifth avenue and Twenty second street, one day last
week and found him very enthusiastic over the proposed
plans, says a reporter.

"In the matter of constructing our new atbletio grounds,"
said he, "we Bhall be governed entirely by expert opinion as
to what is best fitted for the purposes in view. We are now
in communication with lhe ltading athletic associations in
this city and with members of similar organizations at the
leading colleges throughout the country, and in this way we
hope to so perfect our plans that as 6ood as the frost is out
of the ground, in tbe spring we can go on with trie work im-
mediately and without any delay complete it before sum-
mer."

Delegations from the New York and Manhattan Athletio
Clubs were to have visited the grounds at Wtstohester last
week, but the prevailing bad weather prevented it, so that
Mr. Morris could give me no exact idea us to tbe minor de-
tails of the plan. He said, however, that it would be left to
leading athletes to determinewhether the cinder path Bhould
be three lapB, or four laps, or five laps to the mile. A
straightway track will be constructed long enough to provide
for the sprint races and the hurdle contests, so that all of
them may be run without a turn.

"It is our intention," said Mr. Morrie, "if the plan shall
prove acceptable, to organize great athletio meetiugB to oc-
cur on public holidays of the year. There are hundreds and
thousands of people in New York and Brooklyn who have
no desire to go to the race track on Deooration Day, or Fourth
of July, or Labor Day, but who would gladly avail them-
selves of an opportunity to witness athletic oonteats on these
days. Outdoor sports, in whioh tbe strength, the power
and the energy of men are engaged, are just as popular as
the contents of horses, and if it is possible to provide the
people with these we shall certainly do bo."

A WELL DRAINED FOOTBALL FIELD,

The grounds whioh will be devoted to football and baseball
will Burpass anything now exisliog in this vioinity. Peo-
ple who were present at the recent games between the Prinoe-

ton and Yale football elevens at Berkeley Oval on Thanksgiving

Day undoubtedly nave £ most vivid recolleotiou of the exe-
crable condition of the grounds, due to tbe heavy rain of lhe
night before, added to the absence of anything approaching
proper drainage. Theae be one people also remember tbe ex-
ceedingly bad means of handling a big crowd furnished at the
Oval. Any such trouhles as1 these will be completely obvia-
ted at Morris Park. The extensive and almost perfect drain-
age system at WestcheBter, when '-directed to its football field
will render it of use on almost any occasions. There rfill be
no disagreeable paddles for the kickets to -splash throogh
after a season of rain, no need of adoring the grounds wiih
patches of water-soaked sawdust. Then the capacity of
Morris Park for handling a big crowd would, be' almost un-
limi'ed. With the new railroad communiealionV^hich will be
ready next spring 30,000 or 40,000 people oontd get into the
grounds within an hour, and could get away again /at the
end of the day in even less time. Such facts as tirese>are
bound to commend themselves to the management of any
affairs like the big college footfall games.

The same foot n res that will be obtained as to football will
apply to the baseball contests. The diamond will be laid out
in the most approve style, nothing that will add to making
it as perfect as possible being omitted.

NEW STANDS FOR SPECTATORS.

In addition to the mam mouth grand Btand, from which tbe
horse races are now viewed, Mr. Morris will have new stands
erected directly overlooking the athletic grounds. These
will be built at the lower end of the field, just inside of the
fence along the race track turn. Whether they shall be per-
manent structures or only temporary, to be taken down when
not in use, has not yet been decided. They will be arrangtd
to accommodate 5000 or 6000 spectators, and will make the
seating capacity of Morris Park on any great athlelio occas-
ion fully 15,000.

For winter sport, if the summer affairs prove successful,
the club will have toboganing and skating. The latter will
be on a pond or resorvoir, which is lo be constructed in the
grove jast beyond the free field.

THE CLUBHOUSE.

But the greatest feature of Morris Park when all the plaas
shall have been completed, will be the clubhouse. This
structure is to be of brick and wood and will be 150 feet long,
and 120 deep, with a tower 30 feet square and 130 feet high.
These dimensions, however, scarcely give an adequate idea
of what the building will be.

The view from the tower will be surpassingly grand, over-
looking, as it will, tbe whole property of the clab, the Bur-
roonding portions of WeBtchester, upper New York and Long
Island Sound in the distance. The tower will have a large
clock, which can be seen for miles around, and which will
serve as a worthy successor to the broken-down timepiece
of the Catholic Protectory, which for many years regulated
the rising of the sun on Westchester.

The exterior of the clubhouse will be imposing. The ap-
proach to the building from the driveway in front will be a
massive flight of stone steps leading np to the threshold un-
der an immense arch, with a span of twenty-four feet, and
adorned with carvings in modern Pompeian terra cotta. Di-
rectly over the centre arch on the second and third floors
will be two balconies, giving character and detail lo the fa-
cade,

Passing through the doorway in front the visitor will find
himself in a spacious vestibule, with the club office on the
right, and at the left a hngh open rireplace. Beyond the of-
fice will be a large smoking room for gentlemen, opposite
which, across the wide hallway, will be a ladies' parlor and
retiring room.

The dining rooms will he on the race track side of the
house and will all overlook the course, their whole west side
to be of glass and opening on a large piazza. The main din-
ing room, which is to be one of the chief features ot the club
house, will be 60 feet by 88 feet long, with a ceiling 20 feet
high and decorated magnificently. On both sides will be
smaller dining rooms, all to be decorated by old fashioned
fireplaces.

The second floor of the building will be laid out in small
diuing rooms, which will be so arranged that they can either
be used separately or be thrown together on the occasion of a
banquet or a ball. On the third floor will be sleeping apart-
ments, with bathrooms and all the modern Improvements of
a well appointed clubhouse. The fourth floor will be for the
use of the attaches of the club.

The clubhouse will be open every day in the year.

IMPROVED RAILROAD FACILITIES .

Mr. Morris told me that he had already conferred with the
management of the New York, New Baven and Hartford and
the Suburban KuilrDad Companies, and he was assured that
by next spring matters would be so arranged that people
might go to the track direot by train over one of the roads
without having to make the troublesome change at Harlem
river.

The membership of the club is rapidly increasing, and al-
though it is now less than six months old it has already over
1100 members. The fact that until further notice by tbe
governing committee the regular initiation fee of $100 will
D«t tie charged is attracting many to the club, the present
expense for a member 1- i g bimply the annual dues of $25
for resident members and $15 tu those residing over 100
miles trom New York.

With the membership of 2,000. which the management ex-
pects to have bv the time the clobhouse is opened, the New
York Jockey Club will, indeed, be an organizalion powerful
to do good racing and for the many other sports which it is
itB plan to foster.

The pool-rooms in New York were all lightly closed on
Thursday and Friday of last week. There was no raid, nor,
as far as is known, any police interference publicly. An
order to put ud the Bhutters must have been privately pro-
mulgated, however, judging from the nnanimily with which
all the resorts shut down business. On Saturday there were
no betting transactions, ostensibly, but privileged partieB had
little difficulty in investing their money on animals of their
choice, and the same was true of Monday and Tuesday, wben
there wbb not quite such an air of eecrecy. Most of tbe pool-
room owners declared at first that lhe chaigea of the Western
Union Telegraph Company was the cause of tbe lock-oat;
tbatthe tax had become unbearable, $50 find 60 being charged
a day by the company for telegraphio service. The pool-
room owners therefore decided that there was no use trying
to conduct business for the benefit of a telegraph oompany,
aDd agreed to stop business to Bee if some more equitable
arrangement coold not be effected. The renewal of business
on the quiet, however, seems to favor the beli-f that the
police are really at the bottom of tbe olosing.-*(Turf. 1
and Farm).

THEJ^ARM.

Salt as a Preventive of Fluke.

Referring to your replv t^a question on salt for cattle, in
the Mark Lane of Oclobt'r;JStb, will you kindly inform me if
I may securely trnst.'to rbck salt as a preventive of flake or
lot in ehwep? I should be moot obliged if you woald
answer in yoar next isdue. Ones Bitten.

There is n,c 'agent that can be securely trasted to prevent
fluke or livei-i-ot— you can only prevent it by avoiding the
cause. Yon Are probably aware that rot in sheep is caused
by the iu-vasion of the liver, or bile ducts, by parasites m
greater or less numbers. The parasites (Fasciola. hepotica)
are* picked np in embryotic formin the pastures. Liow-lying,
marshy land, adjacent to water-courses liible to flooding, are
the moat dangerous.

Leavingsbeep on these lands during a very wet seasoD, or
after the summer has passed, will cause them to rot. Cer-
tain years are remarkable for outbreaks, and you will doubt-
less remember only too well tbe disastrous consequences to
sheep-masters of the rotting year at the beg.nuing of the
present decade. . .

S*lt w.lt do a great deil to prevent this and other parasitic
invasions, but you caunot "securely tiu=t"it, either as a
preventive or aocurative agent. For the r asone already
stated in the paragraph, to wnich you refer, salt may be use-
ful.y allowed to all domestic animals, but in the tre .tnient of
rot it is best administered alternately with sulphate of iron.
No great amount of suooess can be claimed for it, but exp ri-
enca has taught as that, it is the best tbat can be djne, and
the "bad is the best," unfortunately.

Sscuiity there is none, except to keep the auimbls off rot-
ting laud. Talking about prevention of parasitio aud dietic
diseises in sbeep id easy enough, but commercial and econ-
omic considerations ara always obtrading themselves in a
manner most inconvenient to the theorist. Give the salt by
all means, i»at do not trust it so securely as to leave sheep
exposed to daager.— M. R. C. V. S., in Mark Lane Express.

The Humboldt Creamery.

The creamery is now in operation, having Btarted up last
week. The machinery of the new institution works
like clock work, and Mr. Stewart, under whosegeneralsaper-
vision the new establishment «as erected and equipped, has
established the fact beyond the possibility ot dispute that he
thurougnly understau s and has completely mastered pthe
business e has chosen to follow. This is the first real
creamery on the Eastern plan in California, aud Ferndale
may wdl be proud of starting an enterprise that promises a
mo t important forward step in one of California's leading m-
Uuotries. The Hnmboldt Creamery is second to but two oat
of two thousand in the United States, and for arrangement
bnd equipment second to none. Tbe main creimery baild-
iug is 30x80 feet, and rests on a solid brick foundation. Half
of the building is used f r manufacturing butter and the
other half for cold stnragc purposes, to store butter, eegs and
other perishabUs. The capacity of the creamery is estimated
at three thousand poums of batter pri* day, two patent
cieam separators, two churns aud two batter- workers opera-
ted by B^eam, beiug necessary to perform the work. The
cold storage apartments are sufficiently large to store 60 000
oozeu of eggs, which c<in be kept from soring to wioter in a
perfect conation. The icefaciory is 30x30 feet, and is oper-
ated by the same power sb raus the creamery. Ice will be
maunf ictured in ample quantities to not only supply the
Btoiage rooms, but the connly demand for that article as
well. Those interested in the creamery feel confideut that
tbeir investment will prove a profiiable one, and exoect by
the time spiiog fairly opens io receive milk in sufficient quan-
tities to keep the creamery in steady operation. We under-
Ptand tbat Mr. S. H. Paine is to net as manager ol the new
iQEtitution, and a more competent, reliable and trustworthy
geutle nan could not have Leen selected.

In connection with this notice it is but justice to state that
J. W. BUokmore superintended the construction of the
creamery building, and C. I Fuller the placing of the mach-
inery, all of which was txecuted in a manner most satisfac-

Advantages of the Creamery System.

A subscriber interested in dairy matters would ask some
of the contributors to The Stockman to write an article stat-
iug clearly the ^advantage of the creamery system, or cold
setting of milk, over the old plan of setting milk in small or
large shallow pans without tbe use of water or ice, for the
benefit of to.ose dairymen who still claim they can obtain
more cream by allowing the milk to stand 24 or 36 hours,
and some evyn atlonger period; and why, after allowing the
m Ik to stand in small pans 24 or 36 hoars in a temperature
of 60 or 63 degrees, more cream can then be raised by setting
pans on the stove and heating up to higher temperature.

The advantage of the creamery or c -Id deep setting of milk
over the old plan consists in the uniformity aud cer-ainty of
the results, tae saving of labor, time and storage room, ease
of management, aud, as a result of all these, economy. Set
fresh, warm milk in a deep can iu ice water and raise all its
cream io from 8 to 12 hours, and the cream and skimmed
milk will be sweet the cream always of the same consistency
aud if the after-treatrneut is the same the batter will be of
uni'orm quality. Milk set in open, shallow pans is affected
by chang' b of the weather, and is liable to sour and thicken
bef >re all the cream is up while tbat set in the creamery has
a climate of its own, and where ice water is used the skim-
ming oau be done regularly before each milking.

We have used shallow pans, pots, crocks, tin pails, covered
and uncovered; have seal led th« milk after straining into
the pails and have set it warm from the cow; have Bet the
pails on the cellar floor and ou shelves in cellar and pantry,
and finally tried the deep setting, first submerging in ice
water and now setting in a creamery with ventilated covers to
the cans, and this gives the best results of all. With deep
setting, if you Bell oream, you are sure of always having it
Bwtet, and can o«lcula*e on having a certain quantity from a
given amount of milk, and you have the benefit of sweet
ikioimed mild for hon^e use or for feeding, while in open
.hallow setting yon are not certain what you will have until
the milk is skimmed. Ther6 are a large number of pots and
pans to be handled every day, and these siuet be carefully

scalded and aired to prevent the next setting of milk from be-
ing soured before all the cream is up. With a creamery there
are only two or three cans to be washed and scalded; they
need no sunning, nor need they be lifted from the creamery.

The creamery yields m^cb the larger bulk of cream, but it
is thinner than that raised in shallow pans, though that will
make jast as good butter- as cream raised in deep cans. As
for the ''why" milk, after standing in shallow pans for 24 to
36 hours in a temperature of 60 to 65 degrees, will raise more
cream if Bet oo stove and heated to higher temperature, I
don't believe it will. A yellow scum riseB, as I have often
noticed, but it is claimed that it will not make butter if it is
churned. I have never tried it, as the Bcum waB too thin to
warrant experiments.

Skimmed milk from a creamery has been analyzed and
found to have practically no cream in it; this was where all
the conditions were complied with, milk set as soon as drawn
from the cow, plenty of ice used, etc; and the experience of
thousands seems to prove that the cold deep setting method
is the best yet discovered.

Hampshires and Oxfordshire Downs.

These are the largest in size of any of the Down varieties,
and it is the boast of the breeders that they come to earlier
maturity than any others. They admirably suit the large
chblk farms of the southwestern oounties that are possessed
of artificial water-meadows, the latter giving abundant food
for the ewes and lambs in the critical month of April, when
in other districts the farms aie very barren after all the tur-
nips have bteu consumed. Tae race originated by crossing
the old Berkshire knot and the Wiltshire horn with the
Southdown, by which means early in the century a charac-
teristic variety, with gaujt frames, coarse heads, and b'ack
laces had been created, termed at first West Country Downs.
When aboat 1845, the late Mr. Humphry set himself to im
prove this race by the employment of some of the finest and
thickest-fleshed of Jonas Webb's Southdown rams, the im-
proved Hampshire came into existence, and has had truly
marvellous development ever since. The extension of the
breed has certainly not been so great as that of the Sbrop-
shire, from the fact probably of the latter being adapted to a
more extended set of soils and circumstances. Hampshires
are, however, popular not only in the counties of Hants,
Wilts, and Dorset, but further eastward and northward, as
there is every reason why tbey should be, whenever the con
ditions of early matarity can be supplied. Hampshires were
entered for the Royal Show to the number of 78.

The Oxfordshire variety is olo*ely allied with the Hamp-
shire, having originally beendeiived from ewes of that breed,
tapped by Coiswold rams. Theadiance proved an extremely
happy one, for the progeny of long wool and short wool
parents is one of the best for grazing pioperty, and there was
a eonibinj.ion of size to admirable quality, which from the
first gave this particular oross a high reputation. There
happened at first some diversity of type when eff ..rts were
made to perpetuate a new variety, but by studious selectiout
and skillful matings, all evils were eventually overcome, aud
long before the R. A S. Council gave the Oxfordshire Downs
special classes — which was in 1S62, at Battersea— a distinc-
tive character wi.h tolerable uniformity of type had been
attained to.

This has been concentrated very much since that period,
the general etfoit, as with the Shropshire?1, apparently beiug
Bfter a higher quality. They are line, haudsome-louking
sheep, that will graze heavy weights, their mutton beiug a-,
higaiy esteemel as that of the Hampshires. Rams from the
leading flocks not only are in demand 'or the north of Eng-
land ana Scotland to cross other sheep with, but a great many
are exported every year to Germany and America. They
are well adapted for mixed soils and tolerably fertile, arable
sheep farms, and have extended tbemselves very much out of
their native districts. They stand third highest in the list
for the Windsor Show, the number of their entries being 82
Not often have they been brought out to anyihing like the
extent of this, and it is highly creditable to the breeders thut
they will be so admirably represented.— Mark Lane Express.

Thoroughbred Poultry.

My experience for the last fifteen years fully satisfies me
that the bigh bred fowl is the fowl for all purposes. And
what intelligent ptrBon would not discard the so-called old-
fashioned or mongrel b eed for pure bred fowls that it has
taken years of the most careful breeding by some of the
most intelligent and competent meu of both continents to
bring to their now high standard of excellence. If all coald
take their choice at the same price, I dare say they wonld
not be long in making a selection, and it woald be in favor
of the h:gh bred fowl. There aie many of onr farmers who
are not vet acquainted with the merits of pure bred poultry
and btill cling to the mongrels, To any one who has had
experience with both kinds the difference is quite appartnt.
The ratio is the same as wjih thoroughbred cattle and scrubs.

The real mongrels are so small in size that it does not pay
fo raise them for market, and for egg production they are but
little better, for they lay but few eggs, and those mostly dur-
ing the spring, when eggs are cheap. If yoa chance to find
a large, well formed mongrel, you may be sure it is the re-
sult of crossing to some pure bred variety. If, then, a few
crosses so vastly improve the stock, the pure bred fowls
themselves must necessarily he far superior to the mongrels
both in point of siza and egg produotiou.

There are a great many people am mg u* who are always
sighing for the good old-fasbioned breed of fowls— those with
big bodies and short legs, non scratches and everlasting lay-
ers—oblivious of the fact that if the same motherly old hens
tbat live so pleasantly in their memories were suddenly res-
nrrected they would cut a Forry tignre by the bide of oar
modern Brahmas, Plymouth Rocks, eto

It is a very geoeral and very harmless delusion that the
sun shone brighter and the grass grew a brighter green when
we talk of the past glories of our domestic stock, we are con-
fronted by the stern and undeniable fact that there has been
constant and steady improvement in tbeir useful as well ns
tbeir ornamental qualit ee, and among the modern breeds
and varieties now kept by fanciera are fowls that will out-
weigh, outlay and oa show anything produced in the days of
"Anld L ing Syne." It is ridiculous for people to be so slow
lo acknowledge that there is any difference between one kind
of fowl and another. They may say a chicken is a chicken,
whether it weighs two pounds at matarity or ten pounds;
whether it is tender and jaioy or tough, dry and stringy;
and an egg is an egg, whether large or . mall, delicate in fla-
vor or tough and rank.

But every one who has had the opportunity for observation
will acknowledge the superiority of good Southdown mutton
over a mongrel caroass. And to which is the preference to
be given, a Shorthorn bullock or a steor, the offspring of a
hundred generations of mongrel stock? Almost amy farmer

of ordinary intelligence will answer the above and tell you
how much more profitable for every purpose is the thorough-
bred stock over the native. Because a mongrel chicken was
good enough for you, stage coaches were good enough for the
preseut generation, surely we do not refuse the benefits con-
ferred by steam and electricity simply because our ancestors
had no Biich blessings. You are not satisfied to breed horses
that can trot a mile in three and one half minutes because
that was the highest speed attained in your grandfather's
time, and why not carry the same idea of improvement into
the pouliry jar. I ? As fondly as some may hug the delusion,
they cannot resist the testimony to the fact that onr modern
fowls show the effect of persistent effort toward improvement,
as the present breeds of cattle, sheep or swine, and the off-
spring of the common or mongrel hen by a thoroughbred
cock will Bhow as much improvement aB that of the common
cow by the Jersey bull.

Those of my farmer friends who have not already given
thoroughbred poultry a trial I would advise that they at once
do so. If yon do not feel able to buy both thoroughbred
hens and cocks, get a few cocks and let them run with your
common hens. Sou will find that as a result your poultry
another year will be of larger size, better layers, and will
give increased pleasure and profit.

Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks Brahmas, Wyandottes, Lang-
shans and Games are among the best for the farmers' use.---
Southern Fancier.

Notes.

A contemporary says: The cattlemen of Scotts River and
Trinity Valley. Siskiyou County, have to use snow-Bhoes to
herd their stock.

The snow is quite deep in Eastern Nevada and Idaho, as
well as on the Sierra Nevada. The News-Miner says it is a-
bout three and a half feet deep on the level at Hailey, and
the White Pine NewB says it is seven feet deep at Hamil-
ton.

The Vermont Chronicle speaks of a dairyman who makes
30 cent butter for less trouble and expense than are bestowed
ou their product by those who make 16 cent batter. It is
less work : and costs less to make butter in the right way
than it does to do everything out of time and order and thus
turn out a poor article.

Tbe only way to improve the dairy stock of the country is
to raise better, and it is the dutv of every dairyman to raise
his share. It is also f«»r his interest to do it, for it will bring
him bolh money and intellectual development. He cannot
improve his stock without thinking, and cannot think with-
out improving his mind.

Always have a rack of nice hav or a lick of meal in the man-
ger, each night and morninc for the cows and there will be
no need of sending a dog or tired and cross hired man after
them. They will be on band at milking time, readv to hur-
ry into their places, and they will express their satisfaction
by increasing the contents of the pail.

Secretary Rusk, in the report of tbe department of agricul-
ture fnr the United States, says "no less than 6 000.000 do-
z n eggs were imported at a first cost of over 15 cents a do-
zen, or nearly $2, 500,000, while the average annual valne of
snob importation during the past four years has been $2,216,
320." Nearly all these eggs come from Canada.

An Exchange says some people wonder why the Maine
farmers are raising so many horses. An old farmer who came
into Bangor the other morning with a well dressed four-year
old steer which he forced to Bell for S27, explains it. "I iaise
no mor6 beef ste-rs," he said, "for it don't pay. This crit-
ter has eaten as much as would raise a c >lt to the same age.
and a good four-year-old colt of good s'zeis worth $150. Frcm
now out you'll find me raising horse-flesh."

A new process of butter-making is reported from Australia.
Air is introduced into the cream in tbe churD through an in-
termediate vessel, in which is stored water and a harmless
solution, which purifies tbe air and otherwise renders it suit:
able for producing the desired effect upon the cream. The
air-p;pe opens into the churn near the bottom, through which
the gases are driven out. The butter runs off from a tap at
the bottom. The procf-ss lasts from twenty to forty or sixty
minutes' according to the conditions of the cream and other
circumstances.

If you have a litter of choice fat pigs and have doubt about
wintering tbem properlv about the best bint that can be given
is to have an occasional roast, on the principle tbat when
you have a good thing try to save it. Some of tne old folks
who dined off this toothsome morsel half a century ago can
give yon old-time directions as to the roasting and prepara-
tion for the tat le. Our own opinion is that roast pig is
about as expensive a dish as the farmer can sit down to in
the way of meat of his own production, but to the genuine
epicure this only odds zest to his appetite.

As one country after another opens up to Fettlement and
progress, new fields open for the introduction of improved
breeds of stocks. Sotith America has been the source of a
good deal of profit to the breeders of Great Britain forthe last
few years, and now that the market in that quarter has been
pretty well stocked, or at least will be at an rarlv date, they
are looking about industriously for new patrons. An Eng-
lish journal just at hand is of the opinion that the next coun-
try to buy pedigree stock freely, will be South Africa, the col-
onization of many parts of which has given iis agriculture
and stock raising a most progressive turn. — National Stock-
man.

The Mirror and Farmer says: Dr. Home thinks cottonseed
meal in any form unfit food for cattle. But Prof. Hunter
Nicholson, the dairy editor of the Jersey Bulletin, eays-
"Cottonseed meal is an exceedingly valnab'e cow food, but
it needs to be fed with discrimination and jn Iginent."' We
think the professor is right. Cottonseed meal is n very strong
nitrogenous food, and therefore must be fed lightly and dnly
balanced with other foods, both as.to bnlk and carbonaceous
material. It is from excessive feeding or from a lack of at-
tention in balancing the ration, that some have got an unfav-
orable impression of it. The fact tbat it has to be fed with
care is to us an evidence of its value.

Prof. H. W. Conn, professor of biology in the Wesleyan
University, Conn , reiterates what other scientists have said
before, that all the changes which occur iu milk 'are the re-
salt of the growth of bacteria. Practically this has been ac-
knowledged for a long time, it having been discovered that
if the atmosphere is entirely excluded from contact with the
milk it will keep sweet and limpid for a long time. But the
peculiar development, whether bacteria or fungi, is of com-
paratively recent discovery. With such faoility do the germs
of bacteria get into milk from the air, from the body of the
cow, the hands of the milker and the veeoels nBed for holding
milk, that it ib deolared that pure milk is unknown except
to the experimenting Bcienti&t.

How Is This for a Race?

We recently received from that progressive breeder of New
York, Mr. A. E. Whyland, a card which contained beside the
eeveral high prices paid for horses, a table showing the time
by quarters made by the eight fastest horses by the record.
A queer "if" suggested by this card, say3 L. C. Baker in the
Horse World, is that if Juy-Eye-See had trotted his first
quarter as fast as he did his last, his record would now be
2:07iaB be went to the quarter at a 2:14 gait, making the
last quarter to the tone of 2:04.

Mr. Whyland's card above mentioned suggested to me how
the eight fastest horses would appear together in a race, eaob
one trolling as he or she did when they made their best re-
cords and each one having an esaotly even chance, viz: each
one have to travel but a mile, instead of being scattered from
the pole to eighth position. Beluw is the account:

From an excellent start, Sunol gradually drew away, and
was leadiog at the quarter, -with Guy and Palo Alto at her
wheel, Meud S. lapping them, St. Julien at her wheel with
Axtell and Stamboul, neck and neck lapping him, a clear
length ahead of Jay-Eye-See. Time, 32 seconds.

At the half Maud S. had forged ahead, with Sunol, St.
Julien and Palo Altc neck and neck a length behind, Axiell
and Stamboul still head and head at their wheels, Guy lap-
ping them while Jay-Eye-See still brought up the rear a clesn
length of daylight being visible between he and Guy. The
watches clicked at this point at 1-.04J. _

At the three-quarters Maud had increased her lead so that
there were two lengths of daylight between her and Sunol
who was second, with Axtell on her wheeL Guy and St. Jul-
ien in turn lapping the stallion, neck and neck. Jay-Eye*

See had moved up and was now head and head with Palo
Alto, bat a clean length behind Gny and St. Julien. Stam-
boul bringing up the rear, a clean length behind. Time,
l:35i. If it can be kept up 2:07A will be recorded. As they
sweep into the homestretch Jay-Eye-See comes up with a
marvelous flight of speed, cuts his competitors down one by
one until he reaches second place, Sunol making a tired break
near the wire, but he oannot reach Maud S., who goes under
the wire in 2:08|, two open lengths in advance of Jay-Eye-See,
who in turn is a length in advance of Sunol, lapped by Gay,
who in turn is about a length in advance of St. Jalien, who
is a clean length ahead of Axtell, lapped by Stamboul and
Palo Alto, neck and neck.

Long Distance Races.

Owners and trainers are anxious for long distant races &t
weights which will permit of a jockey (not a little boy who is
a beginner and no judge of pace) riding. The reason of the
entries in the cup raceB Droving so light is not hard to h'od.
The fault lies with tbe conditions of such raceB. Take any of
the cups, with the exception of the Coney Island Cap, and
you will hod tbe penalties are ridiculously small, and in most
cases there are no allowances. It does not take much of a
prophet, therefore, to write out a list of the horses which will
be entered for these caps long before the entries close. Who,
then, but a born fool, would waste his dollars in entering his
horse when he knows full well that he will have to meet
Baceland, Kingston, Fireozi, etc., at a difference only of sev-
en pounds or less outside of weight for age. If the cups are
to be a success some other horses besides those at the top of
th* tree mast be given a chance.

Putting aside the cup races, let Secretaries give u* purses
— say at least one each d y — it distances from a mile and a
half upward. Let them m ike conditions, with adequate pen-
alties and allowances. 1 Ut-y will then find out whether or
not owners and trainers like long distance races. They will
receive big entries, and the public, too, will be interested. It
is a stupid theory to claim that long distance races are not
popular because the cups receive poor enlries. I, for one,
should consider any niiti an idiot who would eDter a mode-
rate horse for a cup, looting at the conditions of these races.
Tou need go no further bacK than the lecent long distance
races at Clifton lo find out that they are popular. The best
horse there has proved to be Eleve. Yet, Eleve was a maid-
en at the bia tracks, simply because Secretaries never gave a
race far enough to give him a show. The same may be said
of plenty of other horses. At tbe present rate of procedure,
without doubt, we shall soon revert to the old time quarter
dashes, for nothing but sprinting is nowadays considt-red in
the conditions. Breeders naturally will breed to sait the
market, and by degrees we shall come to consider a horBe
who can compass a mile and a quarter a horoc of wonderful
stamina. You may claim that the thoroughbred of to-day is
the superior of the thoroughbred of olden days. True. I
grant he is speedier; bat I don't think he bas the same stam-
ina, and for the reason that breeders look nowadays only for
speed, and with that object alone in view. Yours truly,

A Trainee.

Prince of Norfolk

Will Make Hi'- Season of 189U, from Feb

1st t > July 1st, at Sacrmneuto.

Prince of Norfolk, chestnut horse, foaled 1881, by
Uonolk; first dam Marion bv Malcolm; second dam
Maggie Mitchell by imp. Yorkahire; third dam
Cha.mer bv imp. Glcneoe; fourth d^m Betsy Malone
by Stockholder; fifth dam by Potomac, sixth dam by
imp. Diomed; Seventh dam by Pegasus, etc. Nor-
folk, the unbeaten son of Lexington, is the sire ot
Winters, Twiligut, Connor, Ballot Box, Trade Dollar,
Flood, Duchess of Norfolk, Lou Spencer, the (jreai
Emperor of Norfolk, the unbeaten El Kio Rey, and
many others. M .rion's sire, Malcolm, was one
of the firs- horses to bring Bonnie Scotland into
notice. Through the >>aggie Mitchell cross comes
tne blood of two of the most celebrated race-
mares of their day, Charmer and Betsy Malone.
Tne combii.ea speed of these great families seem to
be concentrated in the get of Norfolk ana Marion, as
is instanced in the case of the Emperor of Norfolk,
a-id El Rio Rey, who are full brothers to the PrlnC3ol
Worfjlk

j,uo bloodlines here displayed cannot be surpassed
in the world, there not being a b ingle cross that has
not been celebrated for speed and endurance, and it is
fair to assume that the get of this stallion will show
equally well with those of past generations.
fcTERMS: $50 for the season. We offer first-class
pasturage on our owu ranch, at S3 per month, and tne
i eBt of care will be taken of mares sent to us, but no
responsibility can be incurred. For further particu-

ALEXANDER BUTTON, 2:26 1-2,

7%e property of O. W. WOODARD, Woodland, Yolo County, Cal.

Alexander Button 2:26 1-2.

;

Among the notable horses of California Alexander Button
2:26} can safely be said to take high rank, not alone for his
own performances, but from the remarkable speed shown by
his progeny. His record should have been much lower than
it is, for he has frequently gone miles in 2:16 and better, and
he would have been sent for a low mark, but a "leg" has in-
terfered and necessitated a let up in his work. Large in stat-
ure, yet of good conformation, he is a horse to please the eye

of the visitor when seen for the 6rst time. As our artist has
given ad exquisite representation of Alexander Button, the
reader can at once detect the excellent proportions and beau-
tiful lines of this justly celebrated stallion. It is a great pity
that bia record is not where it should be, but as a horse is
jadged by the speed that he prodnces in his foals, so the
fame ot Alexander Button has gone forth to the world by the
performances of hia sons and daughters. Yolo Maid, by
many thought to be the fastest pacer in the world, not even
barring Johnson, brought him into great prominence in 18S8,

by pacing as a three year old in 2:14, whioh she fuither re-

for their speed, and in Bending mare3 to him the breeder is
always sore to get a fast foal. The sire of Alexander Button
was Alexander 490, who had himself a record of 2:3U, and a
three mile record of 7:5iJ. He was odo of Geo. M. Patchen
Jr.'s best sons, and is noted as the sire of Nellie Patchen
2:27i, Reliance 2:22f, Tommy Dodd 2:24, in addition to Al-
exander Bottom it will therefore be sean that he is entitled
to his speed producing power and that he comes from a fam-
ily that have all been endowed the same way. Mr. Geo. W.
Woodard, the owner of Alexander Button, is a breeder of the
progressive type, and has secured a number of first class
mares which were bred to Alexander Button last season. As
a result Mr. Woodward will have a fine lot of foals, and we
shall expect to hear that they are all "threatened with speed.'*
The following is Alexander Button's pedigree, by Alex-
ander 490, dam Lady Button by Napa Battler. Alexander by
Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31, dam Lady Crum, said to be by

Short Stories.

BY HARVEY W. PECK.

Some three years ago two gentlemen named William Jones
and Ezekial Bobbins were partners in a running horse called
Kobert Lamont.

The affinity of the trio was so well known that they were
familiarly style "Bill," "Zeke" and "Bob." These three were
a precious gang. The antecdents of Bill Pnd Bob were buried
in obscurity, while the pedigree of their runner was immur-
ed in the dim and distant past. Bill however always per-
sisted that Boby— as he invariably called the horse— wbb
sired by Glencoe, while Zeke stated, quite confidentially^
that his dam had run a half in 46i! In fact these two gentle-
men were noted for the joyous manner with which they toyed
with the truth, while some people satirically said the horse
could not rnn fast enough to head a cow in a lane!

The first thing that shook my faith in Bill Jones' truthful-
ness happened in this wiBe: Bill was a person of varied ex-
periences in life having served in the Mexican war 8 years,
as a scout 12 years, was in the jungles of Central Africa 7
years, daring which sojouru he killed several elephants and
hundreds of wilder — beasts; was at Cape Colony and in the
diamond mines for 11 years, etc., etc.

Aside from the above localites, Bill had been in Brazil for
several years; in Buenos Ayresa few years, in short had been
most everything in most every clime. Bill told me these
things at different beances. I kept an account of the number
of years he had served in his different capacities and made a
list of them. This list showed Bill to be 135 years old. One
day I confronted Bill with this list expecting him to collapse.
I was mistaken. He snatched his head meditatively and said
there must be some mistake.

"Did you not say you were in Africa so long?"

"I was" he replied.

"And in Brazil so long?"

"Yes!"

"And in Cape Colony so long?"

"Yes, sir."

"And served in the Mexican War eight years?',

"For a fact."

"You were in Buenos Ayres several years?"

"I was!"

Thus I went through every item of the list and then said:

"Well, Bill, that makes you 135 years old according to your
own statement!"

Bill said he'd be hanged of he could see how it wae, it look-
ed right, but really coaldn't be, of course, but he positively
swore that he had be^n in all the places he told me about for
exactly the number of years he claimed! I will state that Bill
was probably 40 years of age.

Zeke was hardly Bill's equal as a liar, — he was worse!
It can be seen that when this pair was united they made a
strong combination.

Bobert Lamont, the horse could run any distance from a
quarter to a derby route, and was first-class at all, so Zeke
said! For over a year they kept this horse, took good care of
him; occasionally galloped him, but never tried to get a race
for him. They finally took him to Bound Valley and made a
race with a horse owned by a resident, the alleged stakes
being $ 1000 a side. This was of course a mistake, as Bill and
Zeke did not have that amount of money. The real purpose
of the race was to skin the Indians upon the reservation,
which thing they successfully accomplished, the Indians los-
ing three or four hundred dollars and two or three ponies.
The race was a half mile and "Boby" won in 54 J seconds, be-
ing badly punished and sadly wearied. That night one of the
Indian braves stuck a big knife into Boby's anatomy and in
the morning Zeke and Bill found him dead! They mourned
long and loud declaring him "one of the most valuable
horses" in existence.

In a piper published in the principle town of the valley,
there appeared the following:

SAD FATE OF A GREAT HORSE.

"The night following the race at Simpson's ranch, between
Messrs. Jones and Bobbins' horse Robert Lamont, by imp
Glencoe, and Nat Collin's mare Red Mary, with the particu-
lars of which all our readers are familiar, some miscreant,
presumably an Indian, killed Messrs. Jones and Pobbina'
horse! This was a very valuable animal, they having been
offered $8000 for him, which they indignantly refused. His
loss to this country is irreparable. His owners have the
sympathy of the entire community. As Mr. William Jones
said in our presence, "his like will not be seen for many a
day." It can be said of great horses as of great men, 'requisat
in pace'/"

I witnessed a race many years ago upon the plains of Utah,
that was productive of more betting, louder shouting and
more vigorous kicking than any race I have seen since.

I was spending a few months in Ogden, and had about be-
come used to the various Mormon customs; thus the sight of
six or seven women with one man evoked no surprise, while
the running brooks beside she roadway and the vast array of
things in the "tithing-yard" had lost their charm.

In order that the reader may understand the true inward-
ness of the race, I will give, very briefly, a little sketch of the
Mormon customs and of my individual experience. Ogden
iB a town of about 8,000 inhabitants, the Mormons being in
the majority. They style all outsiders either Gentiles or
"the ungodly." The two classes do not mingle together very
much, and cordially dislike each other. There are some ex-
ceptions, of course. Some of the better class of Mormons
will invite one to their houses and entertain him royally, but
the subject of polygamy ia invariably tabooed.

I attended a ball in Salt Lake City one night. Three car-
loads of Gentiles left Ogden on a Bpecial train, upon invita-
tion of the ball oommittee, arriving in the Mormon strong-
hold about 8.30 p. m. Some three hundred people were in
attendance, principally Mormons. An elegant band was dis-
coursing selections from Wautafel and Strauss, and the mu-
sic was being interspersed in many ways by many dancers.
That was before my hair was white and my brow furrowed,
and I took an aotive part in the gaiety. While the revelry
was at its height I was dancing with a young lady named
YouDg. I had been introduced to many by the same name.
While we were promenading I launched into a satirical tirade
agaiDst some of the alleged tenets of the Mormon faith I
noticed that while the lady had been a good conversationalist
on all other topics, she seemed peculiarly stupid upon this
Bubject. After the number was finished I explained to a
friend what I had done. He laughed and said: "That girl
is Brigham Young's daughter; so are all the others here of
the same name." I met a score of Brigham's daughters that
night, and they were not a bad lot either. They were fairly
well eduoated, moderately informed, and endeavored to be as
nice as possible. I

I noticed that the "ungodly" were not viewed favorably
by the younger Mormons, and in many ways the class preju-
dice was evinced.

Several miles from Ogden there nestles a little hamlet
called Eien. In appearance it is not what its nameBake of
long ago was popularly supposed to be. One of the Saints
informed me that from that place the "chosen of the Lord"
would rise to meet him in the sky. In this sequestered nook
there was owned a Cayuse dubbed Wahoo. He was about
14J hands high, roan in color, diabolical in conformation,
uncertain in disposition, and could run 600 yards very fast.
At that date there flourished a man whom I will call Parsons.
He lived in Ogden. For a long time he had been looking for
a pony that could teat the Eden production. One day an
Indian— true blue, feathers in hia hair, bow and quiver slung
across his back, scarlet blanket over his shoulders— rode into
town upon a disreputable pony, which he was anxious to sell.
The Indian said his horse could outrun anything among his
tribe, and could beat anybody's horse five or six hundred
yards. Parsons tried the horse, concluded he would do, and
bought him. Within thirty days he made a race with the
Eden horse for $50 a side. The usual method of procedure
was to make a match for a small amount, and then the op-
posing parties would bet all they could raise.

About seventy-five of us went to the race. It was held in
a narrow valley between two Bpurs of the Wasatch Range.
Parson's horse was ridden by a sharp -featured Indian boy,
while Wahoo's saddle was decorated by a little tow-headed
Edenite. The distance was 550 yards, and Parson's horse
won in the last jump. The Edenites were broke to almost a
man. Money, sugar-cane and everything else was gone.
Considerable tact was required to keep a free fight from tak-
ing place. Everybody yelled from start to finish, and they
badly scared the tow-headed boy that rode Wahoo by threats
to hang him for not winning.

There can be nothing truer than the saying, "Nothing suc-
ceeds like success!" The practical exemplication of this
axiom is constantly witnessed in every walk of life. If a man
amaases wealth in any mercantile pursuit, he is very gener-
ally voted "smart," which term is used to express intelligence,
keenness and sagacity! Very many men of this kind are
entitled to none of these encomiums, being naturally ignorant
and thick-headed, having been unfortunate enough to receive
no education in their youth.

Thus it is in the horse world. Every turf writer now comes
to the front and says, "That Axtell could not help being the
great horse he is— forsooth, look at his breeding; by William
L , dam by a horse with a record of 2:26, and that horse a
son of Mambrino Patchen, the great broodmare sire; again,
he is inbred just right, ''etc

The above quotation works are my own, but the words
express in substance about the general tenor of the reasons
given.

These same writers well know that if a man had told them
he was going to breed a mare by Mambrino Boy to William
L., and expected the produce to beat 2:15 as a three -year-old.
they would have considered him crazy.

Everybody— meaning all horsemen— know that very many
colts are bred throughout these United States every year that
are the equal, and in many instances the Buperior of Axtell
in breeding, but they don't trot in 2:12 at three years, nor in
2:25 for that matter, though the dam may have been a great
broodmare of tested quality, and the sire a trotter and pro-
ducer.

What, then, is the reason that one young horse will turn
out thus phenominally, far surpassing the other 999 equally
well bred, and with equal opportunity? Can any one tell'
Very many reasons can be adduced looking to an explanation
but are they true? Do they represent the actual reasons?

We may all hold theories nnre or less tenable, but my
opinion is that none of us can tell the exact reasons, else the
problem of breeding fast horses would not have the same
degree of fascination it now possesBes.

Were all horses very fast, the high figure now obtainable
for a horse of extreme Bpeed would fade like a mist before the
sun, I presume the degree of uncertainty encountered in
rearing fast horses gives it the highest flavor— there is always
a certain fascination in chance!

But that mate something, that indescribable factor within
the blood and brain, which renders one horse so vastly supe-
rior in speed to all others of equal age and breeding what is
it? Plenty of men think they know, but do they? '

The issue of the Breeder and Sportsman of January 4th
contained an article by C. Bruce Lowe, which is worthy of
consideration. The fact that the produce of a mare by a
certain horse, will sometimes bear a striking resemblance to
some other stallion, which she was bred to the season before
is so well known, that it will not be refuted by any intelli-
gent man. But that it goes farther than outside resemblance
can not be proven.

The mare bred to a Quagga, that afterward produced colts
with stripes upon them— when bred to stallions— is undoubt-
edly true, but no proof has been given to show that they par-
took of the disposition of the Quagga.

To my mind, the reason for the stripss appearing in after
produce is found in the f*ct that the nervous organism and
senBative brain of the mare were so strongly affectsd at time
of breeding as to produce the apparent phenomena at two or
three subsequent breedings.

A mare once bred to a jackass will sometimes afterward
have a oolt by a stallion marked with a stripe down the back
or in some other way resembling the jack. This is not to be
wondered at, for the appearance and lone of voice of a jack is
sufficient to render life unbearable, and the only wonderment
is that all the mares' subsequent colts do not resemble the
jackass in all particulars.

Mr. Lowe says that there is such a thing aa "impregnation
of dam with the sire strains through foaVs circulation previous
to birth." To this fact he attributes the workings above
mentioned, instead of to tbe effect the singular appearance of
such a sire might have upon a highly organized mare.

If this theory be true, men have made most wonderful mis-
takes for many years past in the choice of broodmares. It
would be far better if this "impregnation of the dam with
sire strains" is an existent fact, to buy a mare that had been
bred, we will say to Geo. Wilkea, for several years, than to
purchase a daughter of his, for in case the first mare was
stinted to Wilkes six or seven consecutive years, she ought to

be about fifteen-sixteenths Wilkes at the end of the time

that is, as a producer.

This would be a good thing, financially, for breeders as
daughters of Wilkes are held very high.

The Los Angeles Races.

[By our Special Commissioner.]

Los Angeles, Jan. 13th.

The promoters of tbe winter race meeting have played in
bard lack. The rain first necessitated a postponement, and
the cold spell which has prevailed for a week past has seri-
ously interfered with the attendance. The fieldB have been
large, and the racing on the whole has been Rood. The tal-
ent has not fared very well, several rank outsiders knocking
out their calculations in a most aggravating manner. The
judgeB who officiated were Clifton Bell of Deover, A. W.
Ban et and Hank McGregor. They have been kept busy
watching out for jobs. Los Angeles never before enjoyed
the presence of so many sprint racehorses.

Saturday morning, January 11th, it was discovered that
some miscreant had given Kitty Van a dose of aconite. The
fiend gave the speedy mare more t ban he intended, and her
life was despaired cf for several hours. This despicable act
haB caused considerable feeling in a certain quarter, and a
well known character on many California race tracks is ac-
cused of being the guilty party. The two prominent starters
against Kitty Van were Rondo and Painkiller. The judges
very sapiently declared the race off. A few people made a vig-
orous protest, but it is always well to protect the betting
public. The poisoning of Kitty Van demonstrated that a job
had been contemplated in the interest of either Hondo or
Painkiller, but unfortunately there is DOthing but a Utile cir
cum3tantial evidence to guide any one in finding out the
guilty party. Another disagreeable feature of the meeting
was the wretched starting in several races.

The writer- holds that a winter racing in Los Angeles can
be made to pay, but it is out of reason to expect people to
shiver with ihe cold while watching the races. Enthusiasts
will turn out, bat the general public can hardly be blamed
for not patting in an appearance.

The first day of January was admirably adapted for racing,
and those who journeyed to Agricultural Park enjoyed a cap-
ital day's sport. It will be remembered that the programme
run off was arranged for Christmas Day. This will account
for three year olds running in the dash for two year olds.
Atalanta won the five furlongs from Gambo and Rosemeade.

The track was slow and heavy when the bell was rung for
the first race on Friday. In fact, the Blow time made in all
the races during the entire meeting is due to the condition of
the track. Sunday, Painkiller, Boudo, Fannie F. and Sid-
law sported silk for the five-eighths mile dash. Sunday was
installed a hot favorite. Kondo and Painkiller had a few
supporters. Sunday romped home an easy winner. Just
before the start of this race the judges put up new riders on
fiondo and Painkiller.

On Thursday, Jan. 9, the first event on the card was the
one and one-sixteenth dash for all ages. Atlanta was made
a hot favorite at $20, with Fannie F second choice for $10,
and the Held for $8. Atalanta wbs never in the race, and
coming down the straight Fannie F looked all over the win-
ner, but Naicho B came uo on the outside full of running,
and under the clever manipulation of Hazlett won Cleverly.
Hazlett displayed his wisdom by runniog on the outside, as
the footing was very much better than on any other part of
the track. The Paris mutuals, which were sold for $2, paid
$9.85.

handily. Dan Murphy cut out a terrific pace and Haelett
very injudiciously ruBhed Louise M along with Dan fcMur-

Oro was made a red hot favorite, and he mstibed the con-
fidence reposed in him by winning in straight heats. There
were many people who thought, however, that the judges
erred in giving the first heat to Oro. A dead heat would
have about hit the nail on the head.

Everybody wanted Oro in the next race, and there was a
rush to get a pool ticket on the son of Norfolk. The taleot
again received a hard knock, as Oro failed to get a slice of
the money. It was a great race down the straight between
Oro, Gladiator and Othello, but the Santa Anita entry cap-
tured the event, and the few who backed the Maltese Cross
were jubilant.

The last event of the day, the five-eighths mile heats, was
declared off, owing to the attempt made to poison Kitty "Van.
The last day of the winter meetiDg took place on Tuesday.
The weather was much more pleasant than on the preceding
dayB and capital sport was provided. The opening mile
dash proved to be a capital betting race. Old John Treat
sold favorite at first, but as the betting settled down, Tom
Daly sold first choice with Treat, Oro and Winona in the or-
der named. This resulted in a big boil over and the backers
of tbe field again reaped a harvest. Davis on Painkiller sent
the Joe Hooker representative to tbe front at the fall of the
flag, and he kept him there throughout the race. It was a
whipping finish between Painkiller, Oro, Tom Daly and Wi-
nona, but the first named gaioed the verdict with but little
to spare.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I send you by this mail
some news from this side of the world. Tou will, of course,
long ago have heard through the wires of the sad death of
our youDg champion sculler, Searle. He took ill on the voy-
age from England, and was dangerously so when he reached
Adelaide, where the doctor pronounced it typhoid. He came
on with the steamer as fares Melbourne, and died there after
a few days in the hospital. The body was brought up to the
residence of his trainer, Neil Matherson, in Sidney, and
taken through the main street of Sidney to the Cathedral,
where a short service was performed, and the cortege then
proceded to the circular quay, where the coffin was taken on
board a steamer to be buried at the residence of his parents
at his native place on the Clarence River, over whose placid
bosom our young champion developed his magnificent pow-
ers. The procession was attended by the representatives of
all the rowing and athletic clubs, members of Parliament,
and thousands of citizens, who assembled to do honor for the
last time to one of the most phenominal pullers this or any
country has ever produced. The streets through which the
procession marched were lined with spectators, and it is
computed that not less than 200,000 witnessed the ceremony.
He retained his Benses up to the laBt few hoars of his life,
and met the approach of grim death with the same fortitade
that he showed when pitted against the flower of your great
continent, O'Connor.

It is very sad that one so gifted by nature with such filori-
ous powers of muscular skill should be out off before be had
attained the full vigor of hie, and to Australia (viewed in the
light of sport) it is quite a national calamity. It was tbe
f ishion of English writers a few years back to argoe that
Australians would necessarily degenerate, owing to the clim-
ate, but the feats of our teams of cricketters, followed by
Laycock, Beach, Kemp and Searle in the water, and inside
the ropes such men as Slavin and Jackson, go a long way to
prove that these pessamists were * 'barking up the wrong
tree."

"While I write there is a squabble about the championship
of the world, to which O'Connor has put in a big claim, but
by all unprejudiced judges it must be acceded that Kemp has
a far more valid claim. The latter was champion of tbe
world until Searle beat him, whereas O'Conner never won the
championship. Certain it is that Searle brought it back and
laid it upon the shores of his native country, and if the Eng-
lish or ^Americans would win it they must come over here,
where they will find several hard nuts to crack.

So much for acquatics. Since I sent you our files of news-
papers there has not been any racing worth chronicling, but
the coming week will usher in the first of a series of first
class meetings, at which most of our best New South Wales
horaes will compete. I send yon a further instalment of a
series of articles I have been writing on "The Science of
Horse Breeding." This one only slightly touches on that, to
breeders, important phase, the law of sex, and while 1 do not
profeBB to have made any discoveries, the cases I adduce to
bear me out in the theory may be of service to breeders, and
it was more with a view to provoke a controversy on the sub-
ject that I published my observations. I feel convinced that
no breeder will succeed over a term of years without a close
knowledge of pbysiology, as well as a reliable gallery of the
principal landmarks in the stud. There is nothing which
indicates so clearly the tend of heredity as color and shape,
and with the portraits of his ancestors before jou, the nick
of blood required by your sire will be leas a matter of chance
than the present haphazard method of going to work.

The priceB of horBe stock are absurdly low down here at
present, and any of your stud men who require a chaoge of
blood should take advantage of the bad times to make their
purchases. The Hon. Jas. White, our premier racing (and
Btud) man, haB hitherto been chary of partiDg with any of
his choice blood, but seeiog that hie stud is not big enough
to absorb all the high class and well performed colts he
breeds, he has placed in my hands two of his beet perform-
ers. These stallioDS are by his renoaned Chester from im-
ported mares, and are inbred to the emperor of stallions,
EDglish Stockwell. Tbe Buccess achieved by Mr. J. B. Hag-
gin with the handsome Sir Modred has made an old friend of
mine gnash his teeth with envy because his offer of $6,300
was refused only a few monthB before the horee was rent by
me to America. He has, however, some balm to his feeliDga
in being the owner of Anteous, a very brilliant colt and one
of the few sodb left by tbe eipatriated hero. The Victorians
are determined that the Melbourne Cup will maintain its
prestege and tbis year they give $50,000 added m< ney. Of
this rich prize $10,000 go to second and $5,000 to third
horse. Tbis is more valuable to the winner than the Lan-
eashir'e Plate of $60,000. because the latter is made up in a
preit measure by the racing men in entrances and sweeps.
In our raca the club add tbis big sum. It wonld be well
worth tbe while of some of your big owners to run down
and win this and they may be quite cm-lain of a right royal
welcome and the fairest play if tbey do come.

We are looking forward with much interest to the match
between Jackson and Sullivan to come off in your city, and
from the good feeling shown by your Slate to Jackson, we
have every contidence he will get a fair show and dress the
knots off Sullivan who must be getting rather blaze.

The Australian turf has suffered a severe loss in the death
of the two imported mares Petrolense and Rosette; the latter,
was a half uster to Bend Or, tbe Derby winner in 1830. He
was by the triple crowned Lord Lyon ont of Rouge Rose by
Thormanby.

The Australian Jockey Club will probably in fnture, in or-
der to keep pace with the times, have to add £5,000 to tbe
Gold Cup, which is a two mil6 handicap, run on the Rand-
wick courae, Sjdcey. The Australian papers say the New
Sooth Wales Government should declare a holiday on the

The new kind of track with one turn, of which we hear so
much, may prove fa*t if properly built, but the people may
not take kindly to it The geueral public like to see as much
as possible of a race, in thiH case the greater part of the mile
will be trotted so far from the grand Bland that the contest
will look tame.

The Elmendorff yearlings are said to be very fine ppeci-
mene of wha* a thoroughbred should be. Among them are
brothers to J. B. Haggin's Firenzi, E. J. Baldwin's Grisette,
and to Dry Monopole; while there is a sister to Los Angeles
who will only be leased for her racing career, and a host of
others who should be clinkers.

The local pool rooms have been very late this week re-
ceiving their returns from Clifton, etc. Owing to the storms
the telegraph syBtem has been very inactive for some time.
If it lastB we shall possibly hear of the wires being tapped
again. Is there anything in that old gag? One hears it so
often a slight suspicion is admissable.

The 7. A. T. C. stewards in Australia held an investiga-
tion into the running of Moorebank laBt November, and fol-
lowed their usual practice (English precedent), i. e. not hav-
ing any reporters present, consequently there has been a
good deal of discussion which will be heightened when they
receive Lord Durham's Gimcrack speech.

The Canterbury Jockey Club Derbyof 1891 has 81 nomina-
tions, twenty-two are from the New Zealand Stud Company,
most of them being byNorienfeldt, a slashing Bonof Musket.
This is quite a good showing for the New Zealandere. By the
way, one of the entries is by St. George (brother to Chester)
out of Idalia, the dam of Sir Modred and Cheviot.

B. C. Holly has purchased of B. R. Crocker the fine six-
year-old stallion Election for the Bnm of $5,000. Election is

The number of horses in European Russia is 21,000,000,
including Bis government studs, besides a large number of
private ones. The Russian government dev >teB annually
$80,000 to the purchase of stallions and bo widespread has
been the interest of late years in improviog this stock, that
races, trotting matches and shows have been largely increas-
ed all over the country.

Carbine, the phenomenal Australian four-year-old, who
carried his weight so nobly under difficulties io second place
id the last Melbourne Cup, is doing good work agun. His
foot is all right and he is being specially preDared for the
Champion Stakes run nest March, in which he will meet
Abercorn and other cracks at weight for age, without any
penalties or allowances.

Reno's Baby trotted in December 26th in 2-.25J and on De-
cember 30th paced in 2:24$ in Texas. It may be of interest to
horsemen to know this feat was accomplished by simply taking
off a toe weight of four ounces, and that so evenly is he bal-
anced at either gait.asimple removal of afonrounce toe-weight
changes him from the trot to tbe pace. Io trotting he wears
thirteen ounces forward and in pacing nine ounces.

$250,000 is said to be the most money ever pot up for two
horses to race for. This sum was wagered at Natchrz. Mibs ,
in 1836, Walker Thurston matching his horse, Rodolph.
agiinst Hon. J. F. Claybourne's mare, Susan Yandell, for
2500 bales of cotton a side, it being equal to $250,000. Sus-
an "Yandell had a walk over for the money, as Rodolph was
takeu sick Bhortly before the time set for the contest.

A certain class of Australian raciDg meD, have of late,
caused a good deal of trouble and annuyaoce by appealing
agains1, the decision of the stewards. It is hinted that in
several instances the objections were made on the off chance
that money might be made by betting that the horse objected
to would get the race. It is suggested that the introduction
of a rule to increase the deposit to £50 to be forfeited if ob-
jection is frivolous.

Jastice Higinbotham at tbe Ballarat Circuit Court sen-
tenced John Stewart to twelve months imprisonment for
welshing Mr. Jenkins of £9. It appears that at the Ballarat
Miners' RaeeB, on the 28th of November, Mr. Jenkins backed
Herd Times with Stewart, but when the horee won and Mr.
Jenkins went for his money, Stewart had gone, but was ar-
rested at the Ballarat Eist station, with the result before
mentioned.

The Australasian paid Myers the foot racer a compliment
when it said he is a gentlemanly fellow, far above the general
run of professional pedestrians, and was probably equally as
correct when it said that he, Myers, was painting thickly
when be said half a million couJd be won on the Melbourne
Cup. The Australasian says if the amount, presumably in
American money, were landed, there would be a poor show
of getting it all. Ante-post betting is looBiDg ground and
eventually cash betting will be the prevailing Byotem of Aus-
tralia.

The work on the improvements at the Kentucky Associa-
tion course have been begun, the first thing thus far done be-
ii>g the tearing down of tbe betting shed, which will be built
large enough to make it capable of accommodating thirty
BtandB. The public stand has also been torn down. The
old lumber will be utilized in building several additional
stables, containing from fifteen to twenty stalls each. It is
thought by taking advantage of the open winter, that by the
sprinK meeting all tbe contemplated improvements will be
finished, and on the opening day in May this historic course
will present a modern appearance.

Arsenal, who won tbe Melbourne Cup in 18S6, has been
sold for 600 guineas, and his purchaser, Mr. Field, has taken
him to his siud farm in Tasmania. The son of Goldsbrough
aod Powder should nick well with (he Whalebone mares
which Mr. Field has there.

The Australasian makes a very good suggestion which
might be applicable to other countiies as well a* Australia: —
In these degenerate days, when "reversal of form" is so muoh
the rule, it would not be a bad idea if the V. R, C. were to
appoint two or three paid stewards to attend the various
suburban meetings. Ac present it is always difficult to get
honorary stewards to act, and most daring deeds are per-
formed without the slightest notice being taken of them. If
thiB suggestion were carried out, probably we should not
hear so much of suspicious running.

Many of the old-time champion geldiogs have passed away,

Isaac Murphy, the celebrated jockey, is spending big win-
ter quietly at his home in Lexington. He rarely ever goes
down town, and spends most of his time hunting, of which
sport he is not only very fond, but he is also a crack shot
with either rifle or shotgun. He has a passion for gons and
has a choice collection of all kinds of rifles and sbotgnoe. A
few nights ago, Isaac was imtia'ed into a local colored lodge
of Masons, and he is therefore probably the only jockey in
this country to become a member of that ancient order. Mur-
phy will ride this season principally in the East, where he
will probably be in the Bervice of the well-known Dwyer
Brothers.

The Winter's two year olds which Alf Estill will take E«tst

A correspondent in Spirit of tbe Times says that in Silem,
N. J., there are two short pieces of road which were covered
with oyster shells about 10 inches deep. The tops have been
ground fine by continued driving, presenting a very smooth,
compact surface which is sl;gbtly elastic. The roads, where
the Bbells end, are made of Io*m and gravel, and are compar-
atively smooth. Now, it has been noticed by all in speeding
over theBe roads, as soon as the shell portion is reached, the
horse increases his stride and action, ana therefore goes much
faster. The gentleman suggeBt-t that a track built on that
principle, i e., an 6ight or ten-ioeh covering of pulverized
oyster shells, Bhould prove invaluable, particularly during
frost and wet weather.

The Australian Jockey club has made a new departure
with regard to its yonog stakes which cannot but meet with
the approval of racing men generally, and buyers of yearling
in particular. In place of the present Sires' produce stakes
and Foal stakes,which will lapse in three yfaTs.it has decided
to establish several new races styled Biennial Stakes, the first
of which will be run at ihe A. J. C Autumn Meeting of 1892.
According to tbe pvevailing custom, horses are entered for
produce races while they are yet foals, but under the new or-
cer of things entries will not he taken until tbey are yearlings,
so that it will be optional with the bovers of this class of
blood stock to nominate their purchases as they mav think
fit, instead of Allowing the breeder to do'so, as has hitherto
been the practice.

The Lucknow (India) meeting was noticeable for the fact
that several English and Australian racers competed. In the
Trial Stakes the expatriated Australian Mo^rbouse, by
Moorthorpe, won handily, five furlonas in 1:04. The Little
Gochase was won by Lorl W. Beresford's Austr\liau mare
Nellie, who beat five Arabs and two Innian hreds. Tho Bar
Cup was won by Fitz- William, an imported English horse,
while the Grand Annual wss won by an Australian, Harves-
ter. At the Sonepore meeting Midas won tbe Doomraon
Onp and Belliah Cup, Charlton v>oo tbe Hotwa Cup, Exbank
the Durbhunga Cup. Little Sister tbe Merchants' Cup, Spray
the Bpck Cup. Saleyard the Iodian Planter's Gazette Purse,
Charlton the Civilians' Cup, The Ghost the Jaintpore Plate
and Gold Jessop's Cup, all the winners being Australians.

Secretary Brewster, of tbe Washington Park Jockey Club,
says the Times Democrat, reports forty entries to the stakes
of the club have been received with jnRt exactly balf of tbe
hoped for number in, and the Californian and other far West-
ern stables, tbe Tennessee stables, those now at New Or-
leans, a number in K>ntuoky and others to hear from, it ap-
pears that Seoretary Brewster's desire will be realized.

When the rich Wheeler handicap was instituted it was an-
ticipated that the event would he recognized as the most im-
portant handicap of the West, and on a par with the Suhur-
bad and Brooklyn in the EaBt. Heretofore the Oakwood has
alwayB received the greatest number of entries but it is al-
readyevident that the Wheeler has supplanted it and taken
the place it was de6:gned to fill in the estimation of Western
owners. He has already received sixty-two entries for this
race.

Judge, starter end every racing official comes in for cen-
sure aud adverse comment every now and again, but of late,
that mnch abused official, the handicapper, has been catch-
ing it right and left in England and the Colonies. In Eng-
land, Major Egerton's work was so criticised that there will
be probably two bandicappers in fnture. Io New Zealand,
tbe Dunedin handicapper has bo offended the northern horse
owners that they (owners of seventeen of the best horses)
have written to the Dnnedin Jockey Clnb asking for aohange
in the handicapping, and requesting that a new handicapper
be appointed; otherwise they would not Bend their horseB to
the autumn meeting. Tbe Dunedin Jockey Club sent a cir-
cular letter to each of the protesting owners declining to
make a change, hot saying that they would as heretofore,
oarefully consider the fitneFB of their officials at the proper
time, when tbe annual appointments were made,

We all probably have read the soul stirring lines of Adam
Lindsay Gordon the Australian poet. His 'Sick Stock-rider'
and 'How we beat the favorite' with many other hunting
and racing poems are so vivid a -id realistic that after readiug
them one could almost swear he witnessed the scenes. It
is therefore with pleasure we read that iu Ballarat, where,
the poet first distinguished himself in Victoria, is to be erec
ted a statue of him, the expense is to be defrayed by Mr. &
Mr6. Jas. Miicpherson, the latter of whom is one of the well
known brilliant horsewomen of the Colonies.

The lone Valley Echo hasassumed quite a sporting aspect
since the race track has drawn so many horses to their
handy locality. Among other racing items it says: John
Waterman, of FarmingtoD, is training two very promising
young horses at the lone track. One is the stallion JohnW.,
owned by himself, and the other a two-year-old filly owned
by L L. Huntley of Oakland, and later on says thatT.H. Rae
and T. J. Drais, of Farmington, visited lone a couple of days
last week. Both gentlemen are interested in breeding thor-
oughbreds. They visited the lone track Wednesday morn*
ing and saw Ajax, John W., Lynnette and several other trot-
ters speeded, and were much pleased. They were of the
opinion that the lone track is without doubt the best winter
track in the State.

In an interview with a St. Louis reporter President Char-
les Green says: There is a new movement on foot, too, for
the gDvernment of the trotting meetings. It is suggested
that no prospectus be issued until nearly the end of the
Grand Circuit; then have an agent on the ground at Buffalo
and Rochester with power to make and till races. Trottiug
horses shift so rapidly that a prospectus arranged any length
of time before a meeting is almost useless. Thus, last year
the free for all pace bad to be changed to a 2:16 clacs
and the free for all trot did not till at all. The trouble could
be obviated by an agent beine on the ground where the per-
formers aud ownerB are and offering no race which he did
not feel certain would fill and till well. Thus a programme
could be arranged which would bring here almost every
horse on the Grand Circuit.

Ed. Corrlgan will school his recent purchase, Libretto,
over hurdles, he being unsound; it is believed he could not
stand preparation for fiat racing. He says racing will com-
mence at West Side Park, Chicago, this spring on May 15,
and continue without interruption (save during the Bummer
meeting of the Washington Park Club) until late in the
month of October. His stable is now quartered at Memphis,
Tenn., where his horseB will remain until the racing at that
point is over, then they go to Nashville and then to Chica-
go. Riley, his great three-year-old, is doing well, and his
owner believes he has in him the making of another Free-
land. He, with several others of Mr Corrigan's horses, will
not be sent to West Side Park, but will go to Louisville, La-
tonia, St. Louis and other points, where they are engaged in
important stakes.

W. R. WilsoD, a well known Australian who is starting a
breeding farm, haa imported from England two stallions,
three brood mares and a St. Simon tilly. Of the stallions,
Eridispord, who was a fair racehorse, is Tojally bred. He
is by Isonomy, dam Sousie Queen by Musket from Highland
Lassie by Caterer or Stockwell, from Glengowrieby Touch-
stone. Such a pedigree is rarely seen, while the other stal-
lion, Castor, is almost as well bred, being by Zealot out of
Lady Yardley by Stirling out of Leda by Weatherbit out of
Wish by Touchstone. Zealot is oy Hermit, dam by Stock-
well. Castor was a good performer, winniog nineteen races
in his two, three and four-year-old career. As a rive-year-
old, he ran once as the property of Plunger Benzou. Mr.
Wilson will most assuredly be heard from in racing circles in
years to come, as he has some good mares to mate with these
highly bred .stallions.

Trainer McLaughlin, having given up his position as start-
er at Clifton, has entered upon his duties as the ruling spirit
at Pierre Lorillard's Rancocas Stud, JobstowD, N. J. James
H. McCreery, who has had charge for a year, was offered the
position of assistant trainer, but desired to sever his connec-
tion with Rancocas. He says he left behind him as fine a lot
of youngsters as has been at that establishment for years.
There are now over twenty two-year-olds on the farm, and a
handsome lot they are — sound, healthy and beautifully
made, with hardly an exception. Among the finest is the
Emperor colt Cyrus, who has gone to the quarter pole in
0:23 with 118 pounds up. He has lots of endurance, and
weight seems to give him no concern whatever. The nrle
straightaway track on the Rancocas Farm is now nearly com-
pleted, and is one of the finept private tracks to be found.
George Taylor will be first jockey.

A Cincinnati paper some time ago said:

'•A patrol judge is a practical necessity, and it will be inter-
esting to note the clubs that will evade the use of such an
official. Another thing that the jockey clubs must come to
is to watch the fluctuation of the odds in the betting ring.
Many a job is uncovered in the betting ring, and the talent
are all posted, but the judges mount their box and see the
scheme go through in total ignorance of the fact that the
race was fixed. With a well posted man in the betting ring
to note what was going on, they could have had advance
knowledge enough to have watched the actions of certain
horses closely, and thereby understand what they were
doing."

Onr contemporary is quite right. A patrol judge is getting
to be quite necessary, and the betting shonld also be watched,
while the starter should have as keen an eye on boys who do
not want to gpt away, as on those who are too anxious.

A patched up horse is hardly ever of much value. One
dare not back bim as he is liable to break down any time,
and what races he will win will hardly repty one for the
trouble. Dick Havey, the old rider of Norfolk and other
cracks, gave me a good illustration of the uncertainly of
backing a patched up horse Some twelve or thirteen years
ago Billot Box, who bad run out in the snow in Nevada for
a couple of winters, after breaking down badly, was patched
up and entered in a two mile and repeat at Reno. He won
the first heat easily, and after it. Dick slipped into his box
and felt his leg, which wbb very hot and feverish, and going
straight back bonght the other end for little or nothing, de-
spite the bolicitation and urging of his friends who had also
examined the horse's leg, when the second heat was run
Ballot Box shut up like a jackbnife at the head of the stretch,
breaking down badly, and then it turned out that Havey
had unwittingly felt of what was supposed to be his sound
leg, but in which he harl broken down, while the others had
examined the old leg which stood up well. It was the old
story, the horse had used his game leg so tenderly that he
broke down on the other.

Gurney C. Gue, editor of the North West, writes to W. P.
Ijams, of Terre Haute, in regard to the dam of Axtell as fol-
lows: "In a sketch of Axtell, which I wrote at the time of
the Northwestern Breeders' Meeting, which you may have
seen, I said, upon information gained from a gentleman in
whom I had a good deal of confidence, and who claimed to
know all about Lou, that she was a fair average mare, exoept
for a suspicions bunch on one of her hocks. My informant
put it stronger and said she was spavined. Now after having
seen Lou, I am satisfied beyond all doubt, that the gentle-
man had in mind some other mare. There is nothing that
could be rated 'average' about the dam of Axtell. She is a
magnificent individual; large, shapely, stylish and very sub-
stantial, with jast as clean and perfect set of limbs as I ever
saw. She has plenty of bone, aud it is of Mambrino Patchen
quality. Her joints, both knees and hocks, are broad and
strong and perfectly formed; in my hnmble judgment, all in
all, I never Baw Lou's better in physical structure." This
but confirms the statement recently made by the lady who
now owns the mare.

The New Louisiana Jockey Club has retired from the Turf
Congress. Col. Simmons, when spoken to on the subject,
said that the club had retired from the congress because it
could not conform to the new regulations adopted"

"They have," Baid he, "prohibited the giving of purses for
races of less than one mile for three year olds and upward,
and while we approve of their efforts to discourage sprinting
and encourage long distance racing, we cannot possibly con-
form to this rule, as we are now situated. It would be im-
possible for us to run our winter meeting in conformity with
this rule, and therefore, while we wish them well in their
efforts toward turf reforai we feel that the only course open
to us is to resign our membership in the congress."

"Will frhe decisions of the New Louisiana Jockey Club be
hereafter recognized and upheld by members of the Turf
Congress?"

"I cannot say as yet of course, but I presume they will be.
We recognize the rnlings of all clubs and racing organizations
of every sort and I suppose that they will hold that when we
rule off a man or boy we have had good and sufficient rea-
Bons fordoiDgso."

The Australian says: Id England, America, and Australia
cash betting is daily becoming more general upon racecourses
and with the increase of stakes no doubt the system will be-
come more popular. There was a time, not so very lorjg ago,
that ante-poBt celling was all the rage in Australia, and no
sooner was one Melbourne Cup decided than wagering com-
menced on the one that was to follow. In this way tbe lead-
ing bookmakers entered thousands in their books and the
amount of "dead" money which they raked in fairly crippled
the pnblic, while it enriched the wielders of the metallic pen-
oil. All that is changed now, and after watching the game
closely for a year or two, we have come to the conclusion that
cash betting is preferable to ante-post betting. In America
the cash system is lurgely in vogue, and the press and the
pnblic prefer it, because, it is alleged, it has the effect of re-
ducing tbe number of "stiff" horses that are supposed to
run at various meetings. Probably our contemporary is right
it may reduce, but does not do away with stiffs for many a
horse runs to swell the field and prevent some other horse
from winning.

The Santa Anita Stable has great expectations from The
Emperor this season. Mr. Baldwin says he hopes to start
him in several of the thousand dollar purse races in the East,
and will get him into a few stakes if possible. He has for
the last two weeks worked steadily on ihe ranch, his best
work being a quarter in 0:25£. and five furlongs in 1:05}, in
which he showed his well known speed, and finished as
sound as a bell. I have not seen the horse since he left the
Bay District track, and shall have grave doubts of bis racing
until be gets to the post, for it is always the last few gallops
that find out the weak spot in a dicky bor=e. Mr. Baldwin
does not expect anything big this year from any of his others
except Los Angeles, and pos?ibly Honduras, both of whom are
in good trim. Of the two-year-olds, the best is probably a colt
by Gano out of Grey Annie, but they are all rather under-
Bized — perhaps the soupcon of inbreediDg, which is noticeable
among the youngsters, has something to do with it. Mr Bald-
win says if he pays expenses he will be satisfied this season,
and as he will have less forfeits to pay than usual, owimj to
skipping the Western meetings, the Maltese cross will in all like-
lihood be seen at Coney Island for the first time this season.
Among other news, Mr. Baldwin said that Mollies Last and
a couple more mareB, wonld be bred to Toe Emperor. Gris-
ette is expected to be in foal to the same horse, while Miss
Ford was bred on the ISth of June to Verano (Grinstead —
Jennie D. by Glenelg). Mr. Baldwin, by the way, has serioue
intentions of purchasing Bravo, the winner of the Melbourne
Cup. The price will probably be stiff, but of cour3e that is
immaterial to the Santa Anita millionaire, and the horse
should be invaluable as an outcross, having three Touch-
stone and two Bay Middleton crosses in his truly racing ped-
igree.

There are two race course officials who should be paid in
California, and as far as practicable should be employed
throughout the State; they are one judge and the starter. Jobs
have been, and probably will be, plentiful. A jndee has an
exceptional chance — being posted in a coign of vantage— of
seeing how horse1' run and comparing notes at the various
meetings, while the starter is in an equally good position; he
sees miny things also that a judge cannot see, and if of an
observ:ng turn of mind — as he should be — will have a remin-
iscence the next time a jockey attempts to get left, or in other
ways, tries to beat tbe piblic. There U another reason, too,
agaiDSt trusting too much to local talent in the judge's stand
and with the flag, viz.: They with very few exceptions,
lack the necessary racing knowledge. I do Dot [mean
for one moment to insinuate that the local management is
not honest and trustworthy, but that the mistakes which
occur daily through the circuit are tbe result of an almost
total lack of racing knowledge. I recollect several cases
where I was personally interested ; one occurred in the
northern part of the State, a three-year old and an aged horse
were among the competitors, distance rive furlongs; the aged
horse, a gelding, carried I IS because his rider could just
ride that weight; the three-year old carried 120 for the same
reason. When I inquired the reason I was duly informed
that judges were allowed a certain amouut of latitude, t'was
interesting and rather amusing. In another instance a re-
peat race was run; the first heat was won by, say Maud, the
second a dead heat between Maud and a gelding, Bob; a
false start, during which both ran the entire course, was the
next phase of tbe race. Joe won tbe next heat and the run
off, distancing the mire. The owner of the horse who fin-
ished third in the second heat claimed second roooey; the win-

ner claimed it; the owner of the mare who ran in the rnal
claimed it, and hst but not least, tbe judges asserted that it
reverted to tbe association. Rules 84 and 85 P. C. B H A
settled the association and the owner of the first horse-
the original claimant, who was third in tbe second heat ar-
gued for a long time, but eventually the money was duly ad-
justed after some explanatory remarks in re rule 85 I
could give many more instances, all of which tend to show
that it is for tbe better interests of racing to have a paid judge
and starter, and the sooDer the various agricultural districts
and racing associations uoite in a judge and starter who
shall attend wherever possible, the better every one will be
pleased.

A good deal has been written about the ancestry of the
racehorse, and it is generally claimed to be the Arabian blood
that gives stamina and fine form to the thoroughbred The
Australasian says on that subject:

Hitherto it has been the custom of many modern writers
on the subject to give the Arab all the credit for the excellence
of the English thoroughbred. We must confess that we have
labored under the impression that we owed everything to the
Eastern horse for providing England with an animal which
by years of judicious breeding haB become the most wonder-
ful the world has ever produced. Tbe best living authority
on the breeding of tbe thoroughbred. Mr Joseph Osborne
haB, however, exploded this oft-repeated dictum, and proved
by the production of many facts that long before the impor-
tation of the Byerly Turk, Darley Arabian, or the Godolphin
Arabian, the English racehorse waB far superior to the Arab
and while giviog due credit to the good done by the infusion
of the Arab blood, he successively combats the idea that to
the Arab, and the Arab alone, are we indebted for all the
excellence of the English thoroughbred. He tells us in the
Horse-breeder's Handbook that on the particular subject of
the original anceslry of the British thoroughbred it is singu-
lar how writers, though particularly careful in other genea-
logical topics of less importance, are evasive, vague and
often misleading. Most of these writers have told'uB that
the origin of the thoroughbred is "traced back to three Ori-
eDtal ancestors," and pretty well all who have touched upon
the subject of horse-breeding and its history have followed
suit.

But Mr. Osborne ib at issue with them, and in support of
his argument he says:— "In the first place, as evidence and
argument have already been adduced to show, the English
race horse of the seventeenth ceatury (that is, the horse that
had been breeding for coursing and running in the matches
of speed dating back to the days of King John) has already
proved himself superior to the best Eastern horses that had
been imported, and continued to maintain this priority up to
the time of the Restoration, after which, of course, we can no
longer trace the 'early English' racer ts a distinct breed.
This in itself, however, is ao important point, as showing,
and I think conclusively, that the English thoroughbred of
to-day is no 'creation' of tne Arab and other Eastern impor-
tations, but simply a manufacture which they had improved.
But the improvement had no more commenced with them
than it has ceased to continue since. Then, as regards the
relative influence of tbe imported sires, it must be borne in
mind that a considerable period intervened— a century, more
or less— between the great majority (numbering cooside ably
more than 150) and the one sire to whom the chief share of
merit is justly awarded, viz., The Godolphin; and it would be
absurd to ignore the direct and indirect bearing whien these
have upon the three great channels (Matchem, Herod and
Eclipse) through which all the composite qualities of the
thoroughbred have reached ub. But in the female lines
there are undeniable proofs of important influence, outside
and anterior to the known Eastern sires—and here I main-
tain that in considering the origin of the 'thoroughbreds,' as
distinct from his stud book genealogy, it is most unreason-
able, nay even preposterous, to set aside the female sources.
Indeed, if the investigation be pursued logically, that side
must be the most interesting in this instance, because the
sires being admittedly Eastern, it becomes imper-
ative to trace, if possible, the blood of their
mates. If a potent average of the dams at the roots is
found to be not Eastern, then it becomes obvious that any re-
restrictive claim for purely Arab descent has no authentic
basis in fact." In analysing the pedigrees of Eclipse, Herod
and Matchem, Mr. Osborne show's pretty conclusively that
both Eclipse's sire Marske and his dam Spiletta were full of
pure English blood, and deals in turn with each
of tbe long divisions or sixteen sections which
begin with the fourth remove. He points out that the first
and second sections apply to the Darley Arabian and Betty
Leedes the sire and dam of Birtlet's Childers both of pure
Eastern decent. The (bird and fourth sections refer to Smike
and Grey Wilke-, the sire and dim of sister to , Old Country
Wenoh, in both of which there are flaws. The first is found
in the dam of Snake, of whom nothiog further is known than
that she was the daughter of Hautboy, from which it is quite
reasonable to infer that her dam was not of Eastern descent,
but rather of English origin; forit is quite certain that had
Bhe been an Arabian, Barb, or Royal mare, it would have been
stated, as in the case of Betty Leedes's grandam. Further
instances are adduced of the English descent of Mwreke, and
it is also pointed out that Spiletta, the dam of Eclipse, is Dot
altogether of Eastern descentand the extravagant cooolnsions
which have been arrived at respecting the descent of Match-
em and Herod are not at all agreed with by Mr. Osborne who
quotes an ancient authority, Gervase Markham, to prove
that tbe English horse had attained great excellence before
the importation of Arabs or Turks. Markham says:— 'A-
gain what nation hath brought forth that hors^ which 1 h
exceeded the English.

When the best Bwrbaries that ever were in their prime, E
saw them over-runne by a black hobbieafe Saliot.ury, yet that
hobbie was more cerrunue by a horse called Valentine, which
Valentine neither in bunting nor running wbh ever equalled.
yet was a plain bred Eoglinh horse both by syre and dam.
Again, for infinite labour and long endurance, which is to be
desired in our hunting matches, I have not seen any horse to
compare with the English. He is of tolerable shape, strong,
valiant, and durable." In corroboration of this, an American
authority says:— "As the progenitors of our Narragansett
pacers and others were brought to this country (America)
before the first Arabian ever reached England, and as run-
ning, pacing and trotting races had become so common as to
be suppressed by the law before a thoroughbred ever reached
this continent, we must conclude there was eomething good

San Jose Agricultural Park.

The Erection of a Pavilion Proposed-Jas. Boyd's Min-
iature Track under rover- The teadlus ^Stallions
tliere and in tUe VIcinity-A Marked Advance In
Trotting horse Breertlu^ worthy oi Comment.

San Jose has been noted for having one of the best mile
tracks on the co.at and the records show that some of the
fastest time and record breaking have been done there. In
the last few years the trotting-horse-breediog industry has
advanced a hundred-fold, there being now several breeding
farms in the vicinity. There are at the Park and about San
Jose as grand representatives of the Wilkes, Mambrino Pat-
cneo, Hambletonian, Nutwood families as can be found in
the State, and all doing service in the stud at moderate fees,
individuality and breeding considered. The progress is
due to the integrity of the officers of the Agricultural Society,
their combined labor never being spared, giving liberal
purses and premiums, the result of which has been a marked
improvement in such enterprises as add to the breeding up
of the horse. In the last few years there have been selected
for directors some of the most energetic young men in the
country, and most of them are directly interested in trotting
or running horses, thereby placing themselves in the capa-
city to plan means to the benefit of the horse owners, and
consequently to the success of the meetings of the associa-
tion. In the present year the district will show for itself,
and undoubtedly will do its share in bringing forth Buccess-
full competitors for honors which will add laurels to the
crown of our already far-famed Golden State. Mr. Topham,
the ex-President of the Agricultural Society, is agitating the
erection of a pavilion in the grounds, an edifice thai hss been
wanted for years, and is indispensable. A committee has
been appointed to carry out plans and means to build such a
structure, and there is no doubt but that the members of the
association will each and all unite their influence to have the
same under way of construction at an early date and by all
means completed by the coming Pair.

Mr. James Bjyd's miniature track is one of the leading at-
tractions; it is under cover in the same plan ae that of the
Palo Alto, one-sixteenth of a mile around with 80 foot
stretches. This means business, and all modern arts and
facilities for the development of the colt trotters will be
adopted. The knowing ones will undoubtedly benefit by it,
and liberally patronize it. Colts from any part of the State
will be taken and given the primary lessons at the trot, and
in due time they are turned over to the further training of
♦he skillful drivers.

By the way, the San Jose Yearling CoUb' Stakes, as per an-
nouncement in the advertising columns, for the foals of 1889,
-s one of the wisest schemes yet placed before the breeders.
It insures in the first place a means of inducing the owners
of colts by the respective stallions to bririg them into prom-
inence, as the purse will be in proportion to the co-operation
of the stallion owners, and it is to their interest to have as
many of the produce experimented on. as that is the only
■way they can find out what they are made of, and most as_
Buredly this will bring enough $100 checks to make np some-
thing to compensate for the wear and tear, time and expense
of bringing up the young thiogs to their best condition to
compete for the prize; and those that fail to contribute to-
wards the success of this enterprise are neglecting one of the
hief points that lead to a successful stock breeder. The
value of a stallion fee before the estimation of the public is
in proportion to his success as a producer, aB it is evident
that all can't own the Btallions, but we are all desirous of
possessing a g^nd individual, a performer sired by a per-
former whose ancestors trace back to the great families
through performing channels, etc. Now is the chaDC6 Q>t
SanJoseanstopntnpyourSlOO and call around to jour
natrons and encourage them to develop the colts, that (h
link which connects your stallion to those illustrious ances-
toxa and brought them to fame may be continued 0n through
him and propagated till McGinty is raised. The following
are the Dames of a few of the stallions and their owners,
from which our readers may choose, their announcements,
are duly advertised in other columns, and the fees are very
moderate, everything considered.

Billy Thornhill 8707, is the property of Jas. Boyd Esq.,
Sen Jose. He may well congratulate himself in owning thiB
niece of horse flesh. His sire, Beverly Wilkes, was a very
promising young horse, and unfortunately met with pre-
mature death from injuri-s received by a kick whtn three
years old He was a fnll brother to Prospect Maid 2:23, Wal-
Bingham (sire of Latitude in the 2:30 list) Georgia Wilkes,
(sire of Billy Wilkes 2:30) all young aires coming lhto promi-
nence by the Great George Wilkes 2:22, and out of Wilson
by Mambrino Pilot 2:27.

Thornton's dam Emily also by George Wilkes, is the dam
of Fortuna, two-year-old record 2:31, three-year-old record
2:23, and out of sire Stout hy Surplus, son of Ashland by
Mambrino Chief. Second dam the Lear mare, dam of Jim
Irving 2:23, Young Jim {sire of Butterfly 2:19^), Garnett 2:19,
anl olheri by Lear's Sir William, the whole combining to
make one grand individual, and that he will prove himself as
good as his breeding is conclusive, or we must put aside the
fundamental rule that like produces itslike or the likeness
of some ancestor. Which ever Bide we aualize we find a
Wilkes — Mambrino Chief cross through producers and a re-
move further is the Pilot Jr. on one side and thoroughbred
in the other. He is the stock horse of breeding and type
we want in California, and hard to beat anywhere. The colts
,tbe oldest hers only being yearliDgs) are all bays after a
smooth Wilkes pattern, being inbred to that royal fumi'y.

P Billy Thornhill possesses its marked characteristic, and he'is
specially noted for transmitting the same to his proReny. At
the horse show of our last fair, the group, representing his
get, waB acknowledge by all horsemen as being the best ever
■■ieen from any one sire anywhere.

These youngsters will be heard from in the near future;
they are all very promising. Mr. Boyd places the service tee
at only $50 with usual privileges, and that moderate figure
is indeed within the reach of everybody.

Mambrino Jr. 1789, (Carr's) the property of George P.
Bull, San Jose, is inbred to Mambrino Chief 11, his
sire Mambrino Patchen 5S by Mamb iuo Chief 11, and his
dam by Mambrino Chief 11. There are few ptock farms
without this strain of blood in their stallions or brood maren,
and well may they be sought after when the Hambletoman-
Mambrino Chief union have established such prepotent sires
as Belmont, Almont, Piedmont, Director, Onward, Bed
Wiikes, Thorndale, etc., and still they breed on with distinc-
tion from one generation to another, and with a rem wed im-
petas do they improve when tne daughters of Mambrino
Patchen and of his sons are used; the advance inio promi-
nence of the Mambrino Patchen family is so recent (only
about ten years since), that the public will not be taxed to see
it in print so repeatedly. I will conclude by prophesying
that th- fame of Gay Wilkes, William L. Alcantara. Sim-
mooci, etc , though decidedly wonderful, are only in their in-
fancy, their future greatness is yet to be seen. So much
may well be claimed as the soccess of the family to which
Mambrmo Jr. 1789 belongs. As to himself he never was
given any opportunity, having been brought as a two and a
half-year-old to a district where the industry of the com-
munity was anything but that of improving the breed of the
trotter or developing the Bpeed of a promising youngster.
Yet under these circumstances he obtained a record of 2.45
as a three-year-old, and it is a well known fact that he was
capable of trotting close to 2:30, but was not allowed to dis-
tance the competitor's horBe, who was at the time, President
of the association; he was only asked to win the race which he
did, and was never pot in training again. As a sire, in Bpite
uf all disadvantages, there have sprang up Lady Ellen 2:28,
(out of a thoroughbred mare) dam of Ella 2:29, and a year-
ling that trotted quarters in 36 seconds last fall at Palo Alto;
also Maud H. 2:30 and several others knocking at the door,
amongst which is Merchant, trial 2:25. As a stock horse
Mambrino Jr. should not be overlooked on this coast, pos-
sessed of such stout breeding and backed as Dr. L. Herr, his
breeder, says by a Btrictly thoroughbred graodam of the ne-
plus-ultra stamina. See ad in advertising columns.

Chrisman's Hambletonian 10178 is a mahogany bay, the
property of Jesse Chrisman, Esq., Sjn Jose. He is one of
the most attractive stallions in the vicinity. He was sired
by Whipple's Hambletonian 725. First dam Flora 2 :39|, by
Chieftain 721; second dam by Wilson's Leamon.

His pedigree combines one of the best trotting strains ever
on this coast, based on a pacing foundation and backed by
thoroughbred. Through his Bire he traces to Hambletonian
10, founder of our trotting families, and through his sire's
dam, Martha Washington, a double infusion of Mambrino
straios predominate, coming from Burr's Washington, an in-
bred Mambrino, and a seeond Abdallah 1 flow from Martha's
dam, she being by Abdallah 1, sire of Hambletonian 10. Mar-
tha Washington is worthy of special comment, as she is one
of the great brood, mares, having produced besides Whip-
ple's Hambletonian, Speculation (sire of Crown Point 225, he
Bire of Yalensin, 3 year old record 2:23; Ontano 2:28; Oak-
land Maid 2:22. Gracie S 2:22, and the damB of Waterford
2:27). She is also the dam of Young Martha, the dam of
Crown Point 2:20, sire of Faustine, the dam of the champion
yearling colt Faustino 2:35 Mr. Chrisman has a great fut-
ure for his horse who has such grand ancestors, and with
the limited opportunities depending entirely on transient
patronage, taking all sorts of mares.he has shown the wonder-
ful potenoy of reproducing in his get the grand characteris-
tics.of the family whose name he bears. He has sired Steve
Whipple 2:23, Kate Agnew 2:28£, and others very promising.

Chrisman's Hambletonian 's dam was a campaigner of her
days, having obtained a record of 2:29J and Bhowed capacity
to trot well in the twenties, and being a daughter of Chief-
tain 721, sire of Defiance 2:17^ (pacing), 2:24 trotting, and
others, possesses a pacing out cross of the Hiatoga type,
that will be undoubtedly of benefit to the quickening of the
Hambletonianlong stride. His services are within the reach
of all. See card in advertising columns.

Baywood, the property of E. C. Smith, Esq , of San JoBe,
is a magnificent trotting stallion, bay with black points, ex-
cellent limbs and resolute carriage. He represeLtsa Hamble-
tonian— Clay combination, with thoroughbred baoking.
Sack- crosses have produced George Wilkes, Electioneer, St.
Jnlien through other branches of the Hambletonian and
Clay, and in this Nutwood — Clay cross will be fonnd Maggie
E , 2:19|, Jim Mulvenna, 2:27, and others; and by Specula-
tion (by Hambletonian 10) we have Crown" Point. 2.24, from
Yonng Martha by George M. Patchen 31. Crown Point in
turn produced F.iustine, the dam of Faustino, yearling record
2:35, best colt record to date. George M. Patchen 31 never
failed to show his produca where an opportunity was given
him; and he 1b to California what Harry Clay, 2:29, is to
Kentucky, a great brood mare sire. Every year we see some
of his daughters producing Bpeed both at the trot and pace.
The same can be said of the progeny of his sons and daugh-
ters and grandchildren; they breed on with uniformity, and
what they can do only needs the master hand of man to de-
velop. When these facts are taken in consideration, and
noting that Baywood is a performer himself, it follows that
his services are of great value to the trotting horse breeders.
He has shown his capacity to trot a mile in 2:26 in his work,
but owing to an injured tendon had to be withdrawn from
his engagements the past season; he will be prepared for a
record the comiog fall, and barring further accideot he will
be placed in the list of the performing sons of his sire, the
great Nutwood 33. See his card in the advertising column.

Woodnut, (Weatberhead's) the property of Jas. Weather-
head, of Sau JoBe, is a solid bay, black points, 15£ hands
high and weighs 1050 IbB. He has the Hambletonian con-
formation, a rapid trotting action, well able to trot in the
forties, though never handled for speed. He has shown him-
self an excellent stook horse, his coltB all being of command-
ing appearance, good carriage and prompt drivers of unsur-
passed road qualities. The few that have been handled for
Bpeed have Bhown in very short time satisfactory evidence
that Woodnut (Weatherhead's) is a sire of trotters from the
great Nutwood 2:18f. Few branches of the Hambletonian
families have shown the capacity to breed on to the remotest
generation with as decided uniformity as that founded by
Alexander's Abdallah 15. and the subject of this paragraph
has ihe potency of transmitting a well deined, yet smooth
Hambletonian con'ormation to all his get. That he wil[
make a sire of fast trotters only time is needed, as he is draw-
ing to his embrace some very choice daughters of Tilton Al-
mont, Geo. M. Patchen Jr. and others of equal merita.
Enough is said when his sire is Nutwood 2:18^, and his dam
Flora 2:39 j, trial 2:26, dam of Chribmau's Hambletonian,
sire of Steve Whipple 2:23, Kate Agnew 2:28£ by Chieftain
721. Further commeDt would be nse'ese. See column of
advertisements.

Queer Racing Characters.

Men who Aet and Talk Irrationally Under Betting
Fxcitemeiit

"I believe I enjoy my visitB to the race track as much as
any person who attends such places regularly," says the
Sporting World. This remark was ma-le on the return jour-
ney from Clifton only a day or two ago by an individual
whose face has become so familiar to [rack patrons that he
would be classed among regular racegoers. The remark
rather surprised bis listeners, and for a moment they were
inclined to believe be was jesting. The young men quickly
a-sure > his friends that he was in earnest, while other list-
eners became interested in the conversation. 'I do, for a
fact, enjoy my visits to a race track at all times, even aside
from the excitement which betting affords," he continued.
"Of course there may no doubt be many people who go rac-
ing who enjoy the sport itself qoite as much ah mjself. Aside
from the racing I can find as much divurtisemeat at a track
as at the opera or at other entertainments in which I am
much interested. I tind it an exceptional place to suuly
characters. People on the track and oft it look and act'.to
me like different individuals. At the races I notice that a
man appears to be controlled r>y a sort of impulse. His
mind, 1 presume, is kept so actively at work that he does not
observe his surroundings even in a general way. He moves
about as though his mind was absorbed in some foreign sub-
ject, and acts as though he did not realize what was goiog on
about him. Friends appear anxions to avoid each otner,
except at times when the bands which appear to bind the
mind down so closely become relaxed at intervals for a short
■pace of time.

''Even when meetings take place under these circumstan-
ces the conversation which usually lasts but a few minute*
is made np of commonplace remarks which lack thought.
The mind flies back between the imaginary bands again, and
so the parlies go mosing about as before they met. Now and
again one may Bee one friend daBh through a group of people
with his face beaming in smiles and gra-p the hand of some
old chum he has not met in a long wiiile.

"If you will carefully observe such a party you will notice
that the greeting is not natural, and besides he wib hardly
talk rationally. For the time being be tries to resume his
ordinary politeneBB and every day actions, but away they
fly in a few moments and back will go bis thoughts to those
he experiences when his mind appears clapped in the bandB.
In fact a majority of the people imply by their looks and
aciions that they desire to be left to their own thoughts.
Agiin, one will notice that the action of the peonle appear
tu imply that they go through cenain stages in their move-
ments. One can almost discover from an individual's Actions
just how far he has advanced in his career on the turf.

First of all the beginner can be signalled out from the
throng without dffficulty. He would remind one of some of
the people from this city who attended the Centennial Ex-
hibition at Philadelphia. They arrived at the Quaker City on
a cattle train shortly before noon, and to get borne again on
their excursion tickets they were required to be on board
their train at 3 o'clock. Daring the time that intervened be-
tween the arrival and departure of the train they made an
effort to inspect everything that was to be seen at the big
show. These people cannot understand the fascination of
racing or betting. They act more like themselves than any
other people on a course, but their time ia so taken np in
watching the horses, the betting and other sights which in-
terest them that they have no time to spend standing about.

"After a few visits, however, the novice becomes controlled
by the same impulse which appears to take possession of bis
more experienced companions. Old time betting men and
bookmakers are ae easily signalled out from other people on a
track as a chestnut horse is discernible from a bay or brown.
The expression of their faces is about alike when they labor
under the excitement incident to a race. They, of conrsp,
make every effort tc hide the real thoughts like the average
poker player. In their efforts to appear contended and at
ease, their faces assume an intensely serious expression. Be-
sides, they keep as quiet as possible and seldom speak. Of
course they cannot hide their nervousness, although they
try in every way to avoid any betrayal of it by their actions.
It is not probable that these people ever think of how they
act when laboring under great excitement on a race track,
but it is evident to a close observer that they intuitively do
all in their power to appear natural and at ease.

Every race-goer has noticed people turn their racks to the
horses after astart has been effected. These people belong to
the betting class, and they cannot stand the effect of the ex-
citement which is brought about by watching the movementB
of the horse they are interested in. Were they to follow their
horse ae he competed, they would betray their real feelings,
and to avoid so doing tbey torn their backs to the track
proper. These people, however, will listen attentively to the
remarks of bystanders who call ont the positions of tne com-
peting horses. Tbey can fortify themselves against the effects
of the excitement while listening which they could not do if
they witnessed the contests themselves. As a rule, the
people who do not watch the races cannot afford to sustain
loss if their investments do not turn oat profitable. In fact,
lack of experience in turf matters and continued losses tend
to make them act in the way they do.

The people who shout and soream at the top of theirvoices
during a race are made up of novio • and those who c7o not
bet. If they do inve-t on the results tney wagtr small amounts
and can afford to lose without becoming distressed. There is
but little difference in the actio- s of the women as compared
with the men on a race track. The women rind more fault,
however than the men. They **biok" frightfully and express
themselves in plain terms, but of course to tbeiracquaintance
only. The women who attend the races regularly and bet do
not invest to any great extent except in a srLall way. Some
few women however, have at times bet heavily, but they
lived a short time. A two dollar mutnel ticket is about the
extent of the investment made by the average female track
visitor. Doring a close finish between horseB in which a num-
ber of women are interested their tactions would remind one
of a chicken flying about with its head cut off.

The fastest three-year-old trotter thus far bred in Canada
is Albani, a chestnut tifly that this eeaton made a record of
2:29J, lowering the best previous Canadian record by nine
seconds. She is by Hermit, a son of Ha'old, her dam being
b> American Clay. Hermit, although by a trotting sire and
himself the aire of speed at the trot, is a pRcer, and this year
made a record of 2:29$ at that gait. He is but six years old,
and to have a tbree-year-old that has beaten 2'30 to his cred-
it iB quite a fentber in bis cap. Of late years there has been
a great influx of American trotting stallions into Canada, and
the results have been more than satisfactory. The number
of trotting tracks has increased wonderfully, and as trotting
meetings have become popular the runners have gone down
bill iinti' now the interest in the thoroughbred has about died
oat.

Grim'B Gossip.

Matt Storn has retnroed from Los Angeles and reports
having had a pleasant trip to the city of the Angles.

Last year Overland Park, Denver, was the first to ciaim a
new 2:30 performer, but owing to the bad weather, we have
not had a chance to record any each performance as yet.

"We have to thank Dr. Thomas Maclay of Petahima for a
copv of one of the early reports of the State Agricultural So-
ciety several volumes of which were missing from our set.

Mr. A. B. Speckles entered the produce of Lillie 8., by
Alcezari'n the Breeder and Sportsman Fotunity Stake which
closed on the first. January 16th she dropped twin foals,
both dead.

John W. Martin, of Yolo, has sold his well bred young stal-
lion Ales Button Jr.. 7085 to G. W. Woodaid, of Woodland.
He is by Alexander Button, dam by John Nelson. The price
was $1,500.

In the list of horses published last week, as likely to start
this year, the names of Clay Duke 2:31 J aDd Eros 2:29A were
unintentionally omitted. We will be pleased to receive any
farther corrections.

The stallion advertisements are flocking in, and owners of
broodmares will rind little or no trouble in being able to select
the exact kind of animal they may want from the columns of
the Breeder and Sportsman.

Petaluma has claimed the old date two weeks before the
State fair. San Jose claims the same week, and the Breeder's
Association claims the week following Stockton. This looks
as though complications may arise.

In another column there is a letter from F. "W. Loeber of
St. Helena in reference to the pedigree of the fa=it trotting
mare Lorena. It will new be in order for Capt. Harris to
reply and tell where he got the pedigree.

Of all the interior papers, tho Petaluma Argus is the only
one that pays proper aitenfoa to the horse interest of ts sec
tion. Editor McXabb has a keen appreciation of a good
horse, and is happy in the ownership of several.

Mr. J. P. Kerr has purchased from Mrs. "Wheeler of St Hel.
ena a pair of "Whippleton colts. They are nicely matched
and make a handsome road team C. David of the park
training stables will handle the team for a month or two.

The railroad blockade has caused a great scarcity of news
and the "Gossip" page is not up to what I Bhould like to see,
but when the weather clears up and the roads are passable
i'ems will oome in more rapidly, and the department look
better.

The racing contingent who have returned from Los Ange-
les claim that the attendance was miserable, hardly a cor-
poral's guard being out on any of the days. Notwithstan-
ding the bad weatbeT, the racing was good and those who at-
tended had first class sport.

Col. H. I. Thornton aud John Maclrey, Superintendent of
the Kancho Dtl Paso, will start for Fresno to-morrow, the
former gentleman having an intention to purchase a stock
farm in that neighborhood. Mr. Mackey is recovered from
his late ilk ess, and is once mort able to be around.

j. H. "White, the President of the Breeder's Association,
has the honor to own the first colt born in California this
year. One of his brood mares to the cover of Hernani, had a
foal on January 1st What a time there will be naming him!
One friend of Mr. White's suggests 'Just in Time."

Are we going to have another Margaret S ? A note from
the Secretary of the Pleaeanton Stock Farm Co. informs me
that May Day foaled a tine bay filly (by Director) on the
morning of January 21st. The many friends of Mr. Salis-
bury will wish him even a faster filly than is Margaret 8.

Reno's baby a two year old has made a reputation that is
ringing from one side of the country to the other. On De-
cember 26th, he trotted at Dallas, Texas, making a record
of 2:25i and on the 31st of the Fame month he paced over
the same track a full mile in 2:24£. As Californians we will
have to keep our eye on Texas.

The directors of the San Jose race track have had a min
iatnre track built on which to speed young colts It is com-
pletely covered and the spectators have to stand on the in-
Bide of the track to watch the youngsters. The idea is a good
one and should be adopted by all the other tracks where
colts are in the habit of being trained.

Dan McCarty, he of White Hatk Fame, called to seo me a,
few days ago, and he was just the same old Dan, with horse
talk enough to fill a book. He reports a successful season
back East, and says he has enjoyed the best of health. He
has a lot of brood mares which he has brought back wi»b
him, and he claims that if he does not sell them th«*t he will
breed them all to California stallions.

G. "W. Hancock, of Sacramento, baB sold to D. C. Braid of
this city the two year old standard bred stallion Fred Haw-
thorne, brother in blood to Tempest, record 2:19. Both are
by Hawthorne, son of Nutwood, and out of dams by Chief-
tain. Bire of Defiance, 2:17^ pacinp, and 2:24 trotting. The
purchase price is not stated, but Mr. Hancock says that he
valued him at $1000 when a yearling. Fred Hawthorne will
be mated this season to a handsome five year old bay mare
by Albert W, 2:20, son oi Electioneer.

The next steamer from Honolulu will bring over Harry
J. Agnew. To use his own words he has sold out lock,
stock and barrel, and is now prepared to purchase a breeding
farm and settle down to raising high class hossf s. He says
in his letter that a number of inquiries have been made, ask-
ing him to put a price on Emma Temple, and the figure he
has named is a very large one, so that the man who buys
her will have to dig down deep in his pocket to get the

The catalogue of Irwin AyreB made its appearar ce yester-
day, and is a credit to the compiler. The liot of stallions is
of course headed with that grand r^preFentative of the
Wilkes family, Mambrino Wilkes, and is followed by Alphe-
us, Balkan and Kaulbar, all sons of Mambrino Wilkes. The
psdigre.sof a pcore of brood mares are also given, and then
the breeding of a lot of youngsters. The pamphlet is a valua-
ble addition to the horse lore of the State and is a credit to
the San Miguel Stock Farm. Mr. Ayres will gladly forward
a catalogue to any breeder who may desire one, by sending
him a letter addressed to 30 Fremont Street, San Francisco.

A New iDventioD.

I had the pleasure of examining early in the week, a mag-
nificent bock which has lately been presented to Col. Harry
I. Thornton, by Judge Garber. The work contains hand
painted portraits of all the celebrated horses of France and
England from the year 1760 up to and including 1857. It
IB a rare work of art and is highly appreciated by Colonel
Thornton.

Mr. Irvin Ayers reports that he will have out his new cat-
alogue in the course of a few days. The San Mateo Stock
Farm will shortly issue a new one, as will the Pleasanton
Stock Farm Co. Catalogues are very useful, and many a
sale has been consummated by the breeding of a horse,
catching the attention of some one who without the cata-
logue would never have heard of him.

Daniel Brown says thatif a Jackson Temple colt wins odo
of the stakes opened by W. P. Fine, he will add $100 to the
winner, says the Petaluma Argus. J. H. White will do the
same for a Hernaoni or Marco colt, and A. L Whitney will
put in a like sum for a Dawn colt. Mr, Brown will also give
a premium of $50 to each Jackson Temple colt that gets into
the 2;30 class during the present year.

Mr. A. T. Hatch of Liveimore has as good an idea of a
horse as almoBt any man. He repoits Guide as being in tine
trim, and if be continues so I folly exptct the colt to beat
2:20 thin year. He is of the improving sort snd favorably
impressed many who saw him on the circuit last year. Pri-
m era has dropped a dead foal by Guide, frorn which Mr.
Hatch expected a first class animal.

Los Angeles. Fresno and San Jose are among tho^e who
will hold spring meetings, L.Hst Friday night the Directors
of the San Jose Blood Horse Association met, and it was de-
cided to hold their meeting commencing Saturday, April 5th.
The Monday and Wednesday following will also' be devoted
to racing three days only being given. A committee con-
sisting of T. S. Montgomery, W, J. Casey and G. W. Bragg,
was appointed, with instructions to frame a speed pro-
gramme. It was decided to give three dash races and a heat
race on each successive day. Fresno is also agitating for a
spring meeting, but they will have mixed racing, trotting
and pacing as well as running. Mr. Baldwin has been con*
tinea to his room or the programme would have been out
before this.

In an interview with Mr. Joe Battell, compiler of the Mor-
gan Register, Mr. Joseph "Van Cott, West 5Sth street, New
York, who is 65 years old and well posted on old time trot-
ters, says: "Surry (the dam of Henry Clay) belonged to
Jacob S. Piatt, who built Piatt Street, New York, aboot 1S30.
He owned three small mares — Surrey, Bet and Rose — and
drove together and alternately. Surry was a little bay mare,
14 2, all bay. pricked and docked; trotted on the old Central
course, beating Cato and Black Kate in 2:40. Wallace per-
sists in calling her a pacer; she was as square gaited a mare
as ever struck a trot in the world She afterwards fell into
the hands of George M. Patchen. She was not mixed
gaited; no pacing when she started. May Day was out of
Bet by Eclipse."

The directors of the Agricultural Park Association held a
meeting at Captain Grosse's office on Monday afternoon
says the Santa Rosa Republican. The principal business
coming before the directors' meeting was in regard to what
should be done with the grounds the present season. On
account of the failure, financially, of last season's program
and the laok of interest displayed, not only by those interes-
ted in such an association, but also by the people generallv,
it was decided expedient— and, in fact, found necessary — to
close the grounds for the season, or at least until a better
support of the orgdnization can be assured. In view of this
condition of tbiogs the following resolution was passed nnam-
iously by the directors: That the gates cf the Agricultural
Park grounds, both outside and in, be locked until some
satisfactory disposition of the property can be made, and
that some one be put in charge of the buildings and gronuds
until that time, free of charge upon the society.

The Cook Stock Farm is the first to issue an 1890 catalogue,
and it tells a good story on the outer cover, "Standard bred
trotting stock." That is what purchasers are after now-a-
days, they want standard bred stock, and that sort is always
saleable. The preface reads as follows:

"In presenting our catalogue for 1890, we call the attention
of horsemen to the grand selection of brood-mares now on the
Cook Stock Farm. No expense has been spared to secure
the best blood it is possible to get, combined with good size
and colors, natural speed and absolute soundness. The ped-
igrees are extended only so far as to show what the trotting
blood lines are, without going into remote extensions.

The sires in use are too well known to require description.
Steinway, 2:2of, continues to Bire style and speed. In Cresco
4908, we get a double top cross of HambletoDian blood through
Strathmore 408. and that great progenitor Alniont 33. In
Chas. Derby 4907, we get much of the same Hambletonian
blood through a different channel — that of the great Elec-
tioneer,

That we have reason to expect first-class results, all horse-
men will readily accord."

A sanguinary battle took place on Christmas Day at Cairo,
111., in the Illinois Central stockyards, between a fierce,
large black horse and a mule, the two having been on excep-
tionally good terms with one another up to a few months
previous to tbe cooflict, says the Indiana Horseman. Sud-
denly the mule made a dash at the horse with bis teeth, and
whirling about, planted both feet against tbe horse's body
with a resonant thud which could be heard throughout tbe
yards. Then began the battle in earnest. The horse promptly
resented the kicks by rounding to and returning them with
rapid precision, both animals squealing with rage, biting and
kicking one another until the blood flowed in rivulets from
every portion of their bodies, the fight lasting an hour with-
out intermission. The yards contained many horses and
mules, which appeared much excited during the row, herd-
ing and trembling in one corner and exhibiting every
evidence of fear. The yardmen who witnessed the singular
affair used every effort to part the crazy beasts, but w i'hout
success, indeed running much personal risk in their efforts.
Copious applications of cold water wiih the hoBe and a
liberal use of clubs were entirely unavailing, the tight ragine
until the mule igoominioosly tied, bleeding and lame, from
the severe punishment. Both animals are badly used up,
being hardly able to walk, tbe malefsriog the worst.

A new horse detacher has just been patented by Mr. George
Amos, of Point Pleasant, West Va. It is not the first device
invented for the same purpose; several others nave been
patented heretofore but have, as yet, not been taken into
use. Mr. Amos' device may possibly fare better in this re-
gard, as it is much less complicated than its forerunners.

In cases where horses become so badly frightened as to be
wholly unmanageable, or where the lines break and the ani-
mal dasheB ahead, it is certainly better that the vehicle and
the ocoupants be safely left behind, rather than be strewn
promiscuously along the route, and perhaps severely injured-
Mr. Amos' invention consists of detaching devices in connec-
tion with a Bystem of operating them at the required moment.
The detacher proper consists of a small oblong block or
sleeve of metal, in one eni of which is a hook pivotally at-
tached. This hook is so arranged that when turned into
normal engagement a slide bar or bolt in the aperture of the
detacher will press forward by a coil spring, and the point of
the bar will enter an aperture in the hook. On one side face
of the block is a strong hook to which is to be attached the
harness tug. The hook end of the block is to be attached to
the hame hook, so that in effect the trace or tug is forwardlv
finished or terminated with a detacher device. The rear end
of the slide bolt is provided with a ring, to which the cords
are attached for withdrawing the bolt at the proper tini6 It
may he well at this point to state that this detacher differs
from most others in releasing the tugs from the forward part
or hame hook. A cord, being attached to each device is
extended rtar-wardly upward and joined over the back of the
animal, and thence extended singly to the buggy dash and
disposed for convenient seizure.

A similar detaching block is attached to the back band and
its bolt is connected to the pined cords, so as to be operated
aho when the poll is made. When the horse becomes frigb-
ened, the cord being pulled, the bolts release the hook for"
ward, and the hotse glides out of the thills, the tugs and pull
cords with the detachers, remaining with the vehicle. In or-
that the thills may not drop and catch into the ground, there
are cords attached to staples and lead to the vehicle body so
that when tbe horse has departed the thill will be hung clear
of the ground.

News From Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara is waking up from a loDg sleep, and she
wakes np alive to the interests of the breeders of fine horses.
On the 15th of January some of the principle owners of stock
farms got together and made preparations for a grand race for
yearliDg trotters owned in this district. The race will take
place at the Fall meeting of the Agricultural Association,
which will be held at the city of Santa Barbara. Each owner
of a stallion subscribes $25, and yearliDgs sired by stallions
whose owners have subscribed $25 will be elegible. The
entrance will close April 1. 1S90, at which date the colt must
be entered. The entrance money of $30 eaoh, and the $25
of each stallion, and $100 added by tbe Agricultural Associa-
tion, will be divided into three moneys for the first, second,
and third colt. The race will be one-half mile and repeat to
harness.

The following have subscribed, and all those having year
lings from their stallions should enter: J. R Rochio, of Lo-
Alamos, $25, his stallion ADtioch, by A. W. Richmond
Gienwood by Nutwood, owned by A, Y. McPhail; R. Ben-
net, of Lowfre, has subscribed for his stallion Bashaw by
Wapaie; Merritt & Murray have subscribed for their stallion
Electro by Electioneer; J. B. Fisher for his stallion Don
Patricio by A. W. Richmond; H. W. Lawrence for hie hand-
some bay stallion by Bashaw; C. A. Storke for his grey stal-
lion Roswall by A. W. Richmond, and N. W. Johnston for
his beautiful bay stallion by Sultan.

It is hoped that the owner of Stamboul will subscribe $25
eo that his handsome son, out of Carrie B., she by A. W.
Richmond; second dam by Crighton, will contest for first
money. The colt is named Harry Stamboul, and he is as
handsome a yearling as ever trotted. He is very large and
powerfully made up.. The purse for this yearling race will
amount to nearly $1,000. At the Fall meeting there will be
also a sweepstake for two-year-olds, five-eighths of a mile
dash. This purse will amount to $600.

The Santa Barbara Agricultural Association is determined
to have the greatest meeting ever held in this coontry. They
propose to give very liberal purses, so that horses coming
from other counties can well afford to make the journey, and
the winners be well repaid. Santa Maria, in this county, will
offer liberal purseB and attractive premiums.

There are so many young trotters and runners in the dis-
trict, that the races this Fall will be a great success. Ven-
tura will come to the front and offer liberal purses, and also
Hneneme in Ventura County. The new track at the latter
place will be a fast one. The little town of Huenemeis grow-
ing rapidly. The farmers around that vicinity have fine
horses, and the farms are most productive.

In looking over the list of the Futurity Stakes of the
Breeder and Sportsman, we are disappointed Dot to find
Merritt & Murray, of this county, represented. They have
seveial standard-bred mares in foal by E'ectro, and we
expected to find, them entered. Mr. Den, of this city, has
entered Carrie B., and he is already willing to bet that if his
oolt doeB not win the race, that the colt will be well in the
front at the finish of each heat. Our sympathies are with
him. Mr. Dou'b handsome stallion Othello, by Hock-Hook-
ing, won the seven-eighths mile dash at Los Angeles January
12th. There were eight horses against him. We congratu-
late P. Menchaen, Othello's trainer. Othello is a very fast
stallion, and when he is out for a race, he will make the best
of his age take a back seat.

We earnestly hope that some subscriber of the Breeder
and Sportsman will be able to give information about the
bay mare that ran several races in Paradise Valley and Stock-
If any one remembers Stockton filly, perhaps he may

Tecall some of tbe horses that ran against^her. ~ This bay
mare is now owned in Santa Barbara, and she has foaled as
fine a colt as ever ran a race. Her owner is justly proud of
this handsome bay colt, and he 1b very anxious to trace the
mother's pedigree- The colt is very large for his age, and
vtry muscular. He runs close to the ground, and his propel-
ling powers are wonderfully developed. If Mr. Arrellanes,
of Santa Maria, can down this colt with his brother, he oan
carry many a dollar from the Santa Barbara boys who will

Ooursiner at Newark.

Despite the inclement elements, about a hundred and fifty
came up to time at Newark on Sunday, to witness the long
talked of coursing meeting. The weather was fairly good,
that is, rain kept off, but the ground was wet and inn dy^
while the coursing ground was dotted with little sheets of
water whioh were not conducive to good healthy trials, tbe
dogs slipping and floundering about in a very disastrous
fashion. A 16 dog stake with several old favorites (Nipper.
Snowfiake, Tipperary Girl and Flight W.) was run through
with the veteran, Mr. John Dickson, acting as jndge in his
usual straightforward fashion. There was nothing unusual in
the first two rounds, that iB to those who are used to cours-
ing under difficulties. The celebrated McGinty after a tie
went down below, being handsomely beaten by Catherine
Hayes. In the third round Catherine Hayes again had a
tie, and in the run off her previous exertions told and she
hung fire a little being beaten by Rambler who was made a
hot favorite for the final only to be beaten cleverly by Tip-
perary Girl.

First round — M. Tiernan's Tipperary Girl beat P O'Con-
nors Bellflower, J. Barry's Trio tbe Daisy beat T. J. Brady's
unknown, J. Barry's Prairie Clipper beat P.O'ConnelFs Mis-
sion Boy, P. Canty'sWbip beat J. Grace Jr.'s Teeney, J.

beat J. O'Leary's Mayflower, T. J. Cronin's Rambler beat M"
Tiernan's Flight W. and M. Tiernan's Catherine Hayes beat
T. J Cronin'B Snowfiake.

First ties— Tipperary Girl beat Trip the Daisy. Prarie Clip-
per beat Whip, Rambler beat Juanita and Catherine Hayes
beat McGinty.

Second ties— Tipperary Girl beat Prairie Clipper and Ram-
bler beat Catherine Haye*.

Final— Tipperary Girl beat Rambler aDd won the stake,
$30. Rambler took second money, $20; Prairie Clipper and
Catherine Hayes, $7 each.

The wet weather is still with us, and tb* majority of the
athletes have given up tbe idea of attempting to train for
next month's games. The Olympic and Alpine Athletic
Clubs, however, are determined to hold their sports at all
costs, and after all perhaps' Borne of the athletes may make
a decent showing.

EDNKE ', n'ALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

T. Buchanan of ' e Olympic team is training hard in the
gymnasium, and sojie good performances may be expected of
him next month.

Cooley, Cassidy. Haley and McArthur will compete in the
two mile run on February 22d. All four will probably be
placed at scratch.

Horace Coffin will not be in good trim for the coming
games, and will possibly postpone his reappearance on the
oinder path until Decoration Day.

It ib claimed that Little of the Alpine Athletic Club will
prove a dangerous man in the quarter and half at the cham-
pionship games.

Leon has resigned from the California Club, because its
directors would not allow him to wrestle Ed. Kolb at the
Olympic Clnb rooms. In losing this valuable young athlete,
the California Club has lost it best indoor amateur, and now
the amateur annex consists of about half a dozen third-rate
boxers and runners. If these men have any spirit they will
also withdraw and apply for admission to some club that will
appreciate their services.

Weather permitting, the Olympic runners will take their
postponed cross country run to-morrow morning.

Several members of the Alpine Club will take a spin to the
Cliff House, and return early to-morrow morning.

S. V. Cassidy of the O. C.is particularly interested in cross
country runs, as be considers that kind of sport to be of the
greatest help in reducing of superfluous flesh.

The ont-door athletes all agree that this (season's rain de-
serves the championship medal.

The track in the O. C. gymnasium is nightly thronged
with runners and walkers, who take indoor exercise with the
hope that the weather will clear up a few days before Wash-
ington's Birthday, so that they may be able to enter the
games in half condition.

Billy Kenealley stateB that he is done with fighting, hut
that he has no intention of retiring from the cinder path. Up
to date he has succeeded in winning over fifty medals for
running, and the chances are that before the present year is
out he will have added a few more to his collection.

R. J. Lattringer, one of the old time athletes, will repra-
sent the Alpine Club in the Sprint raceB nn May 30th.

An effort will be made this year to induce the Caledonian
and ThiBtle Clubs to add a list of amateur events to their
programme. In the past it has been proven that the ama-
teur races excited much more interest than the professional
ones.

For the information of our readers we wish it to be under-
stood that these columns are always open to athletes. All
communications properly authenticated will be gladly pub-
lished, as the Breeder and Sportsman makes no discrimin-
ation.

For horses and cattle-
dose is worth 100 dollars.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS,

The athletes have been obliged to abandon the cinder track
on account of its wretched condition.

Night and day the gymnasium is filled with students desir-
ous of reducing their fat.

A field day will probably be held in April.

The championship team will commence training in March,
so that they will be in first class condition on May 30th.

It is whispered that two or three "dark- horseB" will
strengthen the team.

THE WHEELMEN".

Several of the Wheelmen who have become disgusted with
the weather have decided to sell their machines.

Unusual interest is taken in the whist tournament now going
on at the club rooms of the Bay City wheelmen.

It will not be many weeks before the roads will be in order
again for travelling, and the long distance men will be en-
tirely out of practice by the time the rain haB taken its de-
parture.

R. M. Thompson Chief Consul has beeu very ill with La
Grippe which has settled in one eye causing him much trou-
ble.

The Bay City Wheelmen have abandoned their idea of
holding an in-door evening tournament at the Mechanics
Pavilion,

On account of increased business Frank D. Elwell has re"
signed from the Bay City Wheelmen. His name haB been
placed on tbe honorary list.

After the wet eptll it is thooght that there will be a boom
in bicy ling. It is proposed to hold several race weeks dur*
ing the coming season.

The competitive drill at the carnival which was postponed
from last Satnrday will be held this eveniDg Probably only
two teams will enter: — the Garden City wheelmen of San Jose
and tbe Bay City wheelmen of San Francisco. The Garden
City wheelmen have been steadily drilling while the Bay City
wheelmen with their long experience should be able to make
a most interesting competetion. The trophy will cost $150.

AT THE OARS.

In making tbe rounds of th* boat clubs last Sunday, we
noticed unusual activity displayed. The Ariel clnb mem-
bers are anxiously awaiting fair weather to enable them to
begin the construction of their elegant club bouse, which
will cost in the neighborhood of $3000.

' he Regatta Committee appointed at the last meeting of
the Pacific Rowing Association will hold a meeting early in
the moDth of February when preparations will be made for
the holding of their annual regatta.

The Pioneer Club members take great pleasure in rowing
to the five mile house where they generally have a good time.
Dinner interspersed with sparkling wit is always in order,
and the boys generally return home fully satisfied with their
trip and its incidents.

Lust Sunday a crew from the Pioneer Clnb braved the
weather and paid a visit to the Lurline Club at North End-

San Francisco, Jan. 22, 1890. 20 Fourth St.

JOTTINGS from all over.

W. H. Rocap, one of the brightest athletic lights of the
athletic club of the Schuylkill Navy, is dangerously ill with
typboid-pneumonia,

A prominent Eastern sporting paper recently asserted that
next spring, Victor E. Sehifferstein, of the Olympic Clnb, of
San Francisco, would attempt to beU the world's record for
tbe running broad jump of 23 feet, 3in, held by Malcom W.
Ford. The report appears to be without foundation, as we
understand that Mr. Sehifferstein has retired from the ath-
letio world.

Thayer, of Cornell, who played half-back against Yale so
effectively is probablv the best all-round athlete in his col-
lege. He holds the University record for the running broad
jump, is champion single sculler, and has rowed in two
'Varsity crews, is a good man on a wheel, one of the beat
sprinters, holds the second best record of the college in lift-
ing weights, and is put down as winner of the hammer and
shot events on next field day.

Vassar's new gymnasium just completed is the pride of
Poughkeepsie and the largest one connected with any
women's college. The building is in the form of twojparrallel-
grams; one 200x47 teet and two stories high, the other 67x40
feet, the whole topped by a tower.

Amherst's new athlelic field, the gift of Mr. Fred. B. Pratt,
of Brooklyn, when finished will be one of the most complete
and pictaresqnely located in New England. It will be pro-
vided with a 100 and 220 yards straightaway, a quarter-mile
track and a grand stand of the moRt improved pattern. The
baseball diamond will occupy the center of the field, while
west of the track several tennis courts will be located. With
a gymnasium- second to none, and the increased facilities for
training which the new field will furnish, Amherst Bhould
make her name formidable in intercollegiate athletics.

Several of the Eastern crack athletes are laid up with La
Grippe.

The annual championship meeting of the New Zealand
Amateur Athletic Association was successfnlly held at Dun-
edin on Saturday, December 14th. Over 3 000 persons were
in attendance. The track (396 yards to the lap) was small
and badly laid off, but it was well packed, rolled and marked.
The standards fixed for the different events were rather
severe, and were equalled only in a few instances. The fol-
lowing is a summary of the results:

Tommy ConnerTs family are sorely distressed over his ill-
ness, and the Manhattan Athletic Club has received three
cablegrams from his father since the popular little rnnner
was taken ill. Conneff Sr. is a well to do farmer in Ireland
and it is not at all improbable that Tommy may seek conval-
escence on his native heath.

One of the most curious pedestrian events contested in
England is the weight carrying race. In this game the run-
ners carry heavy weights while competing and it becomes a
question of strength and endurance aa well as fleetness. A
recent match was made between Jack Kelly and Jack Davis
for £50 a*ide. The conditions are to race two miles, each
oarryibg 200 pounds.

Tommy O'Neill, the popular little trainer, has obtained the
posftion of instructor to th^ athletes of the Columbia Ath-
letic Club, of Washington, D. C, and will soon start for the
capital. In a letter to Secretary Sullivan of the A. A, TJ.,
Howard Perry, the Seen tary of the Colombia A. C. states
that the Board of Directors at a special meeting, resolved to
accept O'Neill's terms for a year, and if mutually satisfactory,
the situation will be a permanent one. Tommy was the
trainer of the defunct Brooklyn Athletic Assnc:aiion, and is
probably the most efficient trackmaster in the country.

The swimming match in London between Charles Beck-
wit-b and D Dalton came to somewhat an abrupt termination
on the morning of the third day, Dalton refusing to swim,
giving as his reason that the water was too hot. Beckwith,
however, entered the water at the time announced for the
start and Bwam in 8min 30aeo, when Dalton notified the re-
feree that he resigned the contest. The match was for £50 a
side, and the conditions were to swim on the back live hours
each day for six day s, and the one traversirg the greatest
distance to be declared the winner. Beckwith was over two
miles in the lead when the match came to the unsaiisfactory
conclusion. Dalton claims to be champion of America, but
sporting men here do not know who he is.

Here is what an Eastern Contemporary says in regard to
the opening of the Olympic out-door grounds: The Olympic
Athletic Club of San Francisco wiil have a grand opening of
their new grounds on Washington's Birthday. In consider-
ing the programme to be presented the directors resolved to
introduce a numbf r of professional events in addition to the
amateur games. It is thought that this plan will attract a
larger attendance of the sport loving public than a programme
of amateur events only The club have received an offer from
Harry Bethone the companion sprinter to take part in the
Club's games. He says that if the Olympic will offer a purse
of $1,500 he will guarantee to have on the grounds in addi-
tion to himself, the well known runners Skinner, Harry
Johnson and Gibson. He is willing also that the race should
be for the championship. The proposition looks tempting
on the face.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

A. H. L°anand E. A. Kolb are to wrestle for a S20G trophy
on March 6ih.

Should the weather clear up the outdoor grounds of the
Alpioe Amateur Athletic Club at Harbor View will be ready
for use by next Sunday.

The Olympic Club is pdetermined to hold its games at its
own grounds on Washington's Birthday. Even if the track
Bhould not be in goor1 condition the club would act very wise-
ly in uBing their own grounds in preference to those of the
University at Berkeley.

When the Olympic grounds are entirely furnished they
will be eecood to none in the United States. The only fault
to be fonnd with the grounds is the size ot the track. The
bicycle men are virtually shut out as the track, six laps to
the mile, is not at all suitable for wheel racing.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club is seriously thinking
about moving from it? present quarters in the Murphy
building to more spac'ons rooms on Powell St. Owing to
the large iucrease in the membership, this step is necessa-
ry.

A splendid programme will be arranged for the Olympic
Clnhs' "Ladies Night" which will take place Jan. 30. The
medals won at the last gala day and the prizes won at the
late boxing tournament will be distributed on that evening.

ROD.

Gen. John F. Sheehan, in his Redwood Times Gazette
pertinently says:

"The Deputy Fish Commissioners have been bestirring
themselves recently, and as a result several arrests have been
made within the past few months. The unlawful killing of
the grandest of food fishes— the salmon— in and out of season
by market fishermen bids fair to receive a black eye hence-
forth. The deputies, with the assistance rendered them by
honest judges and jurymen, Bhould be able to protect an
industry from ruin which is to this State worth thousands of
dollars annually. If, however, they continue to meet with
the opposition which has been recently directed against their
untiring efforts to bring the offenders pi the fish laws to jus-
tice by ignorant or prejudiced jurors, j'hen poaching will be
carried on to an unlimited extent untl.'fresh salmon will be
as Bcarje a commodity in the San Francisco markets as buffalo
meat.

It is the indiscriminate slaughter of salmon during the close
and breeding season by netters and others, wtuTuse giant
powder and spears, that should be put a stop to before the
rish become entirely extinct. It is hoped that the Deputy
Fish Commissioners will be encouraged in the good work
they have set a-going by the judges and jurors of the country
towns who hear and act upon these cases which are brought
to their notice."

Fish are said to be in abundance in the lower Russian
river and the smaller northern streams, and owing to the
heavy rains and consequent rushing streams, they have been
comparatively safe.

Salmon have begun to run in the Pescadero and coast riv-
ers, consequently the fishermen have been on the alert for
the last few days.

The Petaluma Imprint of last week says: "A fishing party
left this city yesterday morning and on their return reported
that they had struck a "bonanza." To verify their statement
they produced two very large and handsome specimens of
salmon trout, which they caught in Petaluma creek about
two miles out of town."

It iB perhaps as well for the party that the Fish Commission
had none of their patrol on hand when the fish were exhibi-
ted.

THE GUN,

Game is said to be very plefltifnl in the neighborhood of
Prohibition fiat, Tulare County, deer having been driven
down by the snow.

The enow in Black Mountain Valley, Tulare County, is
much lower and more plentiful this year than usual, but deer
are very scarce, and quail scarcer, although quite a number
of ducks have been seen along the river, principally teal.

A meeting of the Fore3ter Gun Clnb, Sacramento, was held
last week to arrange preliminaries for the reception of the
teams of shotgun experts of the Eastern States, soon to start
for this coast and Sacramento. A contest at live birds at this
unfavorable season was not deemed advisable with the cracks
but a committee consisting of F. F. Tibbets, W. E. Gerber
and E. C. Chapman was appointed to confer with the other
gan clubs to outline an exhibition shoot and arrange for the
proper reception of the shooters.

The San Luis Obispo Mirror says: — Messrs. J. H. Hollister
and FredBranch, about Feb. 1st, will take atrip to Arizona. At
Tuscon they expect to be joined by a party of gentlemen, and
will visit the White Mountains on a hunting expedition, and
Johnny says he will have the hides of two grizzleys before he
returns. The grizzleys he will flank by wild turkeys, wild
hogs, deer, and probably an Apache or two. Tney go loaded
for bar.

Good luck to 'em; beware of the bar, though.

We have often insisted on the almost culpable negligence
displayed in allowing youths— almost infants— to carry shot-
guns or rifles, and last Sunday we received intelligent of
the unfortunate accident to Mr.' Adams of Madison, Yolo
County It seems his son waB carrying a 32 rifle over his
shoulder, full cocked, and, sad to say, owing to some jar, it
was discharged, the ball lodging in bis father's leg. As VIr.
Adams is not a yonng man he will probably feel the effects
of the wound for the rest of hh life. And last 8nnday George
Gilbert, a boy of fourteen years, and his brother were out
shooting rabbits near Sonoma The brother Bhot George in
the arm, and though no serious results are anticipated, it
will probably be very annoying to the boy for some time.
Parents should most distinctly refuse to allow boys of doubt-
fnl age to carry firearms of any kind.

Many a man has felt better and happier after a bottle of
Burgundy and a good canvas-back (16 minutes), but it seems
there is a great risk of that delectable bird disappearing al-
together—at any rate in the East. Many suggestions have
been made, and it is qniie on the cards that Chesapeake Bay
will be strictlv protected for a year or two. According to the
American Cultivator, the canvas-back duck has been growing
scarce for years, and this season especially there has been a
notable falling off from the Chesapeake Bay region, where the
finest flavored specimens have always been found. Those
which undoubtedly come from that locality lack their accus-
tomed flavor. The great floods last spring buried under sand
and mud the beds of wild celery on which the canvas-back
of those localities feeds, and to which its flavor is due. Driven
by hunger an! the scarcity o£ its favorite food, these'eanvas-
backs have taken to feeding on fish and water insects, and
their flavor is abominable. It is said that in Canada, where
the canvas-back goes to breed in summer, the people in their
neighborhood have taken to eatiDg their eggs. This, and the
warfare made on them elsewhere, threaten this variety with
total extinction Perhaps with the hint that the excellence
of the canvas-back duck is due to eating celery, the feeders
of other ducks may improve their quality, if not make tbem
equal to the canvas-hack, by giving them similar rations, at
least while preparing for market.

Kennel Work.

The loverB of the dog and those who take an interest
in our kennel work, will be disappointed this week in
the dog department, as the kennel editor has been all
week at Bakersfield attending the field trials there. The
telegraphed aocount has been very meagre and rather
than give results, we will await his return and then give
a report in full of the pleasant week that has been had
by the host of good fellows who have been there in at-
tendance.

Woodeide to be Sold.

In the advertising columns will be found an announce-
ment that Mrs. Silas Skinner has determined to seU
Woodside Farm and all the well bred stock. There are
standard bred mares, young stallions, fillies and any
number of non-standard horses that will answer for
roadsters. The Almont blood is largely represented in
the catalogue, and there should be lively competition for
the Almont mares, and, in fact, for any of the mares in
which there is any of the Almont blood, for breeders
now recognize the fact that the greatest brood mares of
the present day are thickly impregnated with Almont
blood. "We are sorry to lose Mrs. Skinner from the list
of the breeders, and trust that some energetic person will
secure Woodside and carry on the business.

P. C. T. H. B. A.

The Directors of the Breeder's Association have had a
meeting, and this week announce a series of colt stakes,
some of which have been prepared in the interests of the
smallers breeders, and also to give the progeny of Btal-
lions, whose names are not now enrolled in the great ta-
ble, a chance to distinguish themselves. There are four
stakes for yearlings two, three and four-year-olds, to all of
which there is a liberal allowance of added money. The
payments are easy, extending over a number of months-
There are also two parses offered for three and four-year-
old class horses, those eligible in the three minute class
being the three-year-olds, while the four-year-olds are
given a 2:40 class trot. Three purses are also offered for
the get of stallions who at present have no repre-
sentatives in the 2:30 list, restricted to two, three
and four year olds. All of these should have large
entries, as there are many good stallions who as yet have
none of their progeny in the charmed circle. A 2:30 stal-
lion purse is also offered, the amount given being §1,000.
The Stanford Stake is again advertised, this time under
theauspicies of the Breeder's Association, and entries to
that stake will close at the same time, as will all the
stakes and purses offered, March 1st. When the proper
time arrives, the entire programme will be announced.
Taken all in all, the stakes and purses are such that they
should command the attention of every breeder on the
coast. The Directors have been extremely liberal, and
there is every reason to believe that the breeders will be
just as liberal in their entries.

A Clash.

Some weeks ago we called the attention of Directors
and Secretaries to the fact that a meeting of representa-
tives would be advisable, as there was a prospect of a
clash. Two associations have already claimed dates,
they being Petaluma and San Jose, and both claim the
same week. The Trotting Horse Breeders have selected
the week after Stockton, presumedly as San Jose claimed
another date.

Now it seems that this could have been easily avoided
if delegates from each of the associations had met and
compared notes. Fresno will probably want to claim
the same date they had last year, but that will conflict
with the Breeder's meeting. Santa Rosa dropping out
from the circuit, is probable the cause of San Jose claim-
ing an early date, and yet, by the way, it is no sure
thing that Santa Rosa will be on the shelf in 1890. The
Directors there Bay they will give a week of racing if
certain inducements are held out by the citizens of the
town.

Now if the race loving people of Santa Rosa will give
the necessary assurances, there will, in all likelihood, be
another week to fill in. As at present claimed, the clash
is inevitable unless one of the associations will give way.
The Petaluma folks say they have had the date, two
weeks before the State Fair, for a long number of years,
and they are not going to change now, and the San
JoseanB say they have been knocked around from pillar
to post by all of the associations for a number of years
and that now they are going to choose their own date
irrespective of whom they clash with. It is presumed
that the State Fair Directors will claim the two weeks
beginning September 8th, and the other societies will
arrange accordingly- It seems that with that iate taken
for a basis, a good circuit could have been arranged as
follows:

Napa August 11th to 16th, Petaluma 18th to 23rd t
San Jose 25th to 30th, Oakland Sept. 1st to 6th, Sacra-
mento 8th to 20b, Stockton 22od to 27th, Breeders
Meeting 29th to Oct. 4th, Fresno 6th to 11th of October.
This would have given alL a chance and each of the
associations would make money. As it is now, there is
a prospect of more than one of them making financial
failures. With a little friendly feeling displayed, there
may still be a chance to over come the trouble, and it
will be for the best interests of all concerned to give and
take a little in this important matter.

The Pedigree of Liorena-

Editor Boeder and Sportsman:— In your paper of Jan-
uary 4th you published a tabulated pedigree of Capt. Harris*
filly Lorena, and gave the breeding of her granddam Prin_
cess as follows: Sired by Woodford Mambrino, son of Mam-
brino Chief, dam JenDie Simpson by Autocrat, he by Demo.
crat, dam Golddust Belle, by Dorsey's Golddust. In 1880 I
got Princess from Capt. Harris, and the enclosed tag was at-
tached to her, wbich is in Capt. Harris' handwriting; he
herein gives her a record of 2:27 J, and she is credited to
Mambrino Chief instead of Woodford Mambrino.

I sent a copy of this pedigree to J. H. Wallace, and en-
closed find his answer:

New Yore, Sept. 6, 1880.

Mr. Fred W. Loeber, St. Helena, Cal — Dear Sir: —
Yours of 30th ult. is to hand, and the pedigree of Princess
does not strike me favorably. It is impossible to tell whether
it is right, without knowing who bred the mare and through
what hands she passed to her present owners. If Bhe is by
Mambrino Chief, she cannot be less than 17 years old, and
may be a good deal more. It is a thousand to one that the
pedigree of the dam is made up to suit. Some of the elements
I know to be wrong. Yours truly, J. H. Wallace

per J. S. C

I sent Capt. Harris a copy of Wallace's letter, and re-
ceived the following reply: "In regard to the pedigree of
Princess and Wallace's reference to it in answer to your com-
munication to him, I can only say, the pedigree as recorded
in my book, is as it was given by Mr. Moses Alma, a gentle-
man well known in his life by all acquaintances for truth
and veracity. He has repeatedly stated in my presence that
he purchased her from the man who raised ter, the sire be-
ing Mambrino. After his death, and when I got hold of the
mare, I learned from a friend of Wm. F- Williamson, who
had all of his old papers after the death of Alma, that such
was her pedigree, and I so made the memorandum at the
time. This is the whole story of Princess and her breeding.
There was another Princess on this ooast known as the Ed.
nionBOn mare; they may have become confounded."

Ben E. Harris.

After "Hark ComBtoek's" return from California in writing
up the leading two-year-olds in an article which was copied
in your paper, October 19th., he gives Lorena the following
pedigree: "Sired by Jim Mulvenna, dam Elmo, second dam
by Cassius M. Clay, third dam by Harris' HambletoniaD.

The true history of the mare, Princess, as near as known
iB — Mr. Moses Alma (now deceased) formally connected with
the firm of Wilmerding, Kellogg & Co , of San Francisco,
bought her in Maraga Valley, and kept her a number of
yeBrs for a road mare. Be used to keep his horses at Bridge's
stable. After his death, Mr. Bridge kept Princess in lively
for several years, until she got lame. Mr. Bridge then dis-
posed of her to Captain Harris. Mr. Bridge asserts that
Captain Harris knew her history. I went to see Mr. Kellogg,
of the firm of Wilmerding, Kellogg &Co., to ascertain whether
Mr. Alma had ever been to Kentucky in the interest of the
business, and whether he ever purchased any horseB while
there. Mr. Kellogg assured me that Mr. Alma had never
been East from the time he first came to California until he
died. The ouly way to perpetuate the breeding interests
successfully is stick to correct pedigrees. Yours truly,

Fred W. Loeber.

Please give the pedigree of Brown's Bellfounder and
number if he is registered; has he a record ? Is there any of
his get in the 30 list?

Answer. Browns Bellfounder was by Bellfounder Morgan

Alfred G. and G. & M. were bred by Guerne & Murphy of
Santa Rosa. Alfred G. is now owned by G. E Guerne, and
we believe he also owns G. & M. Col. Lewis was a gelding,
foaled 1570, by Rifleman, dam not traced. The other ques-

Robbery Boy.

Can you give me the pedigree of Bobbery Boy formerly
owned in Santa Barbara?

Answer. — A letter sent to Mr. Den has elicited the follow-
ing reply :

Santa Barbara, Cal„ Jan. 19. 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — With regard to Rob-
bery Boy's pedigree, I can safely state that it is entirely nn-
knowD, but will give you all the information that we know
about him. In the spring of 1873, some emigrants coming
from Oregon stopped at the ranch, and our foreman took a
fancy to a bay colt, a yearliog then, and bought nim for $50,
they being short of money. They stated to us that he was a
well bred horse by a running horse in Oregon, and that is
all we know about his pedigree. We began training him as a
three-year-old, and showed a great deal of Bpeed, won several
good races and we had him entered against Walking John
and Eleclar, half mile at Los Angeles, in 1875. and a few days
before the race, on a trial, be split both front hoofs from the
hair to the ground, and that was the last of his running days
as he c.nld never stand training again. The old horse shows
a great deal of breeding, and all his colts out of nothing but
pure mustang mares show speed. I have a saddle horse that
can run a quarter in twenty-three seconds, and another that
runs half miles better than fifty. Robbery Boy never had
bo t one thoroughbred mare, that was Lillian by Creighton,
who is the dam of Bid Law. Yours truly,

Maud H.

A couple of weeks ago, we asked for information regarding
the record of Maud H. by Carr's Mambrino, aod have re-
ceived the following from our Salinas correspondent. Maud
H. trotted in the 2:30 class at Sherwood Park during
me district fair races held here during the week, beginning
October 7, 1889. Her record was made in the second heat of
the race and was thus described by the Salinas Morning
Journal, Oct. 10th, the day following the race:

Second heat— Auction pools: Field $12, Maud H. $6, Al-
len L. $4. This was a good start. Maud H made play for
the pole and took it from Mambrino Boy at the quarter. She
soon opened up a gap and was never caught, finishing first
by a short length from Allen L., Mambrino Boy third at Al-
len L s wheel, and Acrobat just inaide of the distance flae

Our Australian Letter.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— In a recent number of
your paper, an Australian correspondent remarked upon the
number of race meetings held near Melbourne, Victoria and
ihe pernicious effect it had upon the sport. Sydney is just as
bad, as may be judged from the fact that there are never less
than sis race meetings a month in the immediate vicinity of
Sydney. There are now three proprietory clubs, Rosehill
Canterbury Park and Warwick Farm, who push business
very closely, and go in for cut-throat business.

On a recent public holiday two of them held meetings
and as there were various other attractions, the pair to use
a new colonial sporting vulgarism, "fell iu the soup."so they
are not likely to again give the racing nubile a surfeit of good
things. With so many "rat" meetings, it may be imagined
owne.B of the shady type play the game pretty "low down."

It H not so long since that a horse went out to the start
with shoes on and his rider minus spurs. These are consid-
ereJ pretty sure signs out here that a horse is not "on the
job, and his stock went down to zero. However, the shoes
which were only glued on, were wrenched off at the back of
the course before the race started, aDd the "hooks" were
duly affixed to the jockeys heels. But the coup did not come
off after all this trouble, and the smart party missed a big
thing by a head. B

Boxing day will see the first big two-year-old event of the
year at Eandwick, the course of the Australian Jockey Club
the premier body of New South Wales. This is natv*ally
looked forward to by racing men with interest, as showing
where we are to look to for next years' cracks. Correeze
owned by our sporting barrister Mr. "Jack" Want, showed
great speed when first asked to race, but he showed poor
form when asked to race in the big event. Ihe Maribyrnong
Plate, and it would appear the young *un has gone completely

The American trotter is making himself felt in the colonies
not so much on the track as in the Improved class of buggy
horses now seen on our streets. So far, trottiDg on the track
has not taken a big hold of the public, more particularly in
Sydney, where trotting events are generally run in conjunc-
tion with pony and galloway races, and shady as our legiti-
mate turf morals are, they are clear as sunlight compared with
the doiDgs of the trotters, ponies and galloways.

Breeding trotters is a paying game, as at the last sale of the
Hobartville stook, the young trotters averaged more than the
fashionably-bred running youngsters. The colony recently
suffered a big loss in the sudden death of the trotting stallion
Childe Harold, whose get are remarkable for style and kind-
ness of temper. In New Zealand, however, the trotter ap-
pears to be getting a better grip, as they were recently at
Canterbury able to run off seven handicap trotting events in
the one afternoon.

I may be pardoned a little bit of "blow," when I state that
Australia is not altogether in the back-ground of the worid's
sports. We have shown the universe we can raise a fair scul-
ler, pugilist, and cricketer. Sheffield, in its, palmiest days,
could not hold a candle to our running tracks, and now it
seems we are going to lead the world in the "sport of kings,"
by giving the enormous sum of £10 000 for the next Mel-
bourne Cup. Donovan received £12,000 for his win of the
Lancashire Plate (Eog ), certainly, but as the £10,000 for the
Melbourne Cup will be in addition to the sweepstakes of
nominators, there is not much doubt the Victorian Bacing
Club will ecore a best on record next November. The growth
of the Melbourne Cup has been phenomenal. The first cup
was in 1861, when the added money was £200. This was
raised in 1868 to £300, and it was not till 1876 that it reached
£500. in which year 'the Cap" was won by a mare, Breisis,
for the only time in the history of the race. 1883 saw £1,000:
1886, £2,000; £1837, £2.500; 188S. £3,000; 1889. £5,000,
and now with a gigantic stride the Cup of 1890 will be for the
plum of $10,000 lidded money.

The death of Searle and the rather complicate 1 condition
in which he has left the aquatic championship must be my
excuse for inserting an aqueous item in my usual turf letter.
Searle died in Melbourne, but his body was brought to Syd-
ney, where he was accorded a public funeral, when the biggest
crowd yet known to gather together in Sydney turned out,
as may be judged from the fact that it took the procession
five hours to force its wav a distance of some two miles.
With regard to Ihe shoulders upon which the championship
mantle is to descend, Searle, on his death-bed, expressed a
wish that the honor should be competed for by colonial scul-
lers. Old England, who certainly dies hard, expresses the
opioion through its press, that O'Connor is entitled to it, but
it seems to me that the trouble rests between America and
Australia, both of whose second or third olass-men could beat
England's best. The general opinion in Australia is that it
should revert to Peter Kemp, from whom Searle wrested it,
but in any oase without a contest, the title is an empty one.
However, Searle went to the other side of the world to give
you a chance for it, so it only seems fair your best man —
O'Connor, I suppose — should oome over here and retarn the
compliment. Stansbury, the young fellow who rowed Searle,
the only hard race the latter ever pulled, is our most likely
man, but Searle improved to a vast extent by the time he
met O'Connor, but it remains to be seen "how Stansbury has
gone ahead." The JtJKGLB.

The Science of Horse Breeding.
'S he Law ol Sex.

WRITTEN FOB THE BBEEDEB AND 8POBT8MAN.

With regard to natnral laws regulating sex, many theories
have been promulgated from time to time, but the one most
likely to approach the solution of this (to breeders) most im-
portant question is that of the American writer, Starkweather
His valuable work on "The Law of Sex" was published in
1SS3, but so far back as 1878 I find notes of my own observa-
tions which are corroborated by his book. He bases his the-
ory (in human beings) on the intellectual and physical su-
periority of either male or female. Thus, if the male is
superior in intellect and heallh to his mate, he fixes the sex
making it opposite to his own, and vice versa. This is sound
reasoning in the main, or else why do we so rarely see bril-
liant sons following brilliant fathers. If marriages wer
polygamous this would be obviated, but as it is the exception
for a man to marry twice the opportunity of reversing a mis-
take is remote. By way of illustration of the above theory
and applyiDg it to borses. I take from my note book of 1878'
the case of Kelpie (imp). This stallion came into possession
of the late Mr. George Wyndham of Dalwood and Bnkulla
about 1862, and presided (at the latter property) over si
choice a harem as then existed in the country, sireing such
undeniably good racehorses as Stockwell and Cyclone, both
a stone better than Kingfisher (winner of the Sydney' Cup)
Karoola, Cronstadt, Tlrmp Card, Tommy Dodd, Brolga'
Plover, Mariner, and a score of lesser lights, who "swept the
boards" in the northern districts of New South Wales for
many yeais. In all that time, however, he never sired a filly
op to the commonest selling plate form, and as a matter of
fact the mares threw a very larg- proportion of colls. The
knowledge of this set me thinking, and I put it down to two
causes: First, the excessively bad care taken of the horse
both between and during the seasons- To save trouble in
exercising, the stable door leading into a black-soil yard was
invariably open all day, and in wet weather that same yard
was a caution to stallioos. Grooming he rarely got and as
the growth of green stuff depended on the spring weather as
often as not he was stinted in proper food. Nofso the mares
running out on excellent box country, and rare'y foaling un-
til the spring grass was forward. On the one side want of ex-
ercise, condition, and careful grooming; on the other natural
free life on the hills with excellent pasture. According to
Starkweather, the mares would in such a case fix the sex od-
posite to their own, and my reasoning led me to a similar
conclusion. Starkweather has, however, missed an impor-
tant factor in this "law of sex," and while the foregoing
causes tend very largely to decide the matter, I amcoDvinced
that the sex and excellence of same depends as mncb or
more, on the potency of strains of blood as on Leal h. Con-
sequently, the blood of tbe mares of the Bukulla stud, rioh
with infusionB of the Darley-Arabian tbrongh Cap-'a pie,
Plover, Scratch, Snake, Whisker (imp), grafted on to
branches of the old imported mares Penelope, Miss Lane,
Mancipe, and many others, succeeded in carrying the sway
against the weatherbit, St. Francis, Taurus ana Zmganee
strains of Kelpie — and hence the preponderance of (excellent)
sons.

Now mark the difference in resulis when Kelpie was install-
ed at Gordon Brook. Few breeders in New South WaleB
treat their stallions so wisely as Mr. T. H. Smith, and
wilh the combined advantages of ample exercise, comfortable
stabling, grooming, and the best of food, he was far mors po-
tent than the mares, w. ich were as a rule covered earlv (for
racing purposes) and befce shedding their coats. Moreover,
the flashy, speedy strains of blood in their veins such as Pits^
ford, Livingston, Sir Bicbard, Glauous, etc.. were as much in-
ferior to Kelpie as he had been to the sioul Bukulla blcod.
As a natural^sequence his fillies raced well, and in proof of
this I have only to instance Thyra (winner of £1,000 Cup
Glen Inues), Maude (a remarkably good mare), Atalanta(dam
of Melanion), The Nun, and a dozen others.

While in Eogland iD 18S2-3 Captain Macbell showed me
over Lord Calthorpe's stud at Newmarket, where Petrarch
was then "lord of the harem." ChattiDg over his probabil-
ities as a first-class sire, I remarked that his fillies would
probably be better tban his colts, because he strained so
muob away from the Darler-Arabian. and tojtbe Byerley Turk
and Godolphin, through flashy blood, like Orlando, Alarm,
and farther back, Castral and Selim and Beubens. I need
scarcely say that he was too polite to ridicule the idea, but
it was quite too apparent that be did not believe there was
anything in it. Nevertheless, I had tbe satisfaction, after
returning to the colony, to see two Oak winners accredited
to Petrarch in BuBybody and Miss Jummy, against only one
really brilliant colt in the person of The Bard, and I cannot
recall since Priam any instance of a stallion pulling off tbe
Oaks twice within so short a time of his going to tbe stud.

THE FARM.

Imported Mutton.

An articlo in the Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society
of England says the National Stockman points out that the
frozen mutton trade which only comeuced:in 1SS0 has attain-
ed very large dimensions. In 1S82 only 9 400 tons were im-
ported, while the amount brought in 1SSS equaled 49,450
tons which represents tbree pounds for each man, woman
and child in the United Kingdom. The mntton represented
by the live sheep importations in 1SS3 did not exceed one
and a half ponnds per head. This makeB the total amount of
mutton imported both of live and fruzen or fresh mutton on-
ly four and a half ponnd per head per annum. Largely,
therefore as the new imports have increased the quantity of
iniDortedmntlon is not yet enough to supply each unit of
population with a single onnce of mutton per week, while
tboprodnceof EagLuh pastures is still sufficient to provide
each one with nearly an ounct a day. Foreign mutton sup-
plies are now nearly'balf a ponnd more for each of our popu-
lation than is provided by the much longer established beef
The problem, therefore which anyone who is calculating the
chances of the further growth of the newer tiade most try to
face is whether the course of events already seen in the check
of fresh beef imports is to be paralleled or not in the case of
mutton.

Cattle "Without Horns.

Many breeders have been annoyed and had their valuable
horses "and brood mares injured by cattle. The Holsteiu
Freisian Register says: The experiment of breeding off the
horn is nothing new, says Field and Farm. There is do
question but in the caso of the Red Polls the horns have
been dispensed with by breoding hornless cattle to hornless
cattle for generations. Editor Cheever, of the New England
F inner, during years of successful breeding, eliminated horns
from his dairy cows at Pine Hedge farm, and another Mass-
achusetts mio has nearly thirty he*d descended from this
original herd. An Ohio agriculturist has polled Jerseys now
in the third generation, the result of crossing a "nnoly" and
a Jersey bull. From the same State comes report of a breed
or family of "polled Durhams," to the development of which
perhaps a dozen patient men have been faithfully devoted
for a considerable time. Last yeaT specimens of this stock
were publicly exhibited, and this season a'so (at the State
and several local fairs) where it attracted favorable com-
ment.

Mr. Morse, of the Windsor Farm Denver, Col , is confident
that he will be able by the fourth or fifth generation to pro-
duce a fnmilv of hornless Holsteins, and briDg about the re-
suit bv persistent dehorning. Says he: "If I fail, then I
shall conclode that the theory of breeding as understood at
the present day U a delusion and an uncertainty. If from a
curby hock in a horse I can get a curby hock, wby not from
a hornless bovine get a hornless calf? If not the first gene-
eration continue it on until you get it. I am a believer in
hereditary defect and in hereditary improvement. At a'l
events I am out for the trial, and shall keep the horns going
until they are gone."

American Steers iu Germany.

A short time ago the attention of the Department of Agri-
culture was cal' el to a recent shipment of American eattle
sold m the Rhenish province. Through the Department of
State, the Department of Agriculture was placed in possession
of a consul at Cologne, in which this gentleman reported the
sale of some tnirty head of American cattle in that market in
reference to which he made the following statement:

■'The quality of these oxen was good, but too fat, which,
however, can be remeditd. The puce obtained per 100 lbs.
of the dressed meat, that is, exclnsive of the head, bide, feet
and entrails, which fall to the butcber. was Marks 70 being
the same price paid for the homo stock. Therefore, Ameri-
can rattle can compete with the home pioduction.

"There is a difference among oxen fattened en pastures
and those fatteued in stables. The latter are preferred here,
espesidlly the red aDd checked ones which might command a
higher price, say Marks 72 per 100 pounds. Both kinds are
readily marketed here. There being rather a scarcity of cat
tie here this year and a consequent rise in the price of beel
meat, it is thought that a couBidera'le number of American
cattle can be sold here, and I am informed that ano'her large
shipment is on its way from America for the German lnar-
ke'."

Iu order to be able to give to our American slock raiserB
full information on this subject, the Secretary of agriculture
addressed a communication to the Department of State, re-
questing information in regard to the lawB now iu force in
Germany with reference to cattle imported from the United
Statep, and in a recent communication from the Department
of S'.ate, enclosing the report on thi* subj-ct of the American
Consal at Hamburg, the secretary of Slate promises to ob-
tain further information which shall include the law on the
subject of the exclusion of pork and auy efforts that may
have been male recently to seenreits repeal, allusion to which
was nude in American papers in the form of a presB dispatch,
purporting to have been sent from Berlin, under date of Nov
20th.

In the meantime, for the information of those interested,
the substance of the correspondence between the Department
of State and the American consuls at the points referred to,
is here given. It would appear from the report of the con-
sul at Hamburg and the enclosures forwarded with his com-
munication, that cattle imported into aoy of the German
States and Provinces from the United States, South America
or Great Britain, are subject to n four week's quarantine, and
fur harm -j re, thit there is no likelihrod of such quarantine
being either abolished or modified. It should also be Btated,
that the cittle sold in Cologne, formed part of a shipment of
160 head sold in the Rhenish Provinces, and that the data in
regard to them was obtained from Messrs. Salm &, Whil, one
of the largest cattle dealiDg firms in Cologne. It appears
fnrther. that during the early part of list fall, some six or
seven hundred head of cattle were landed in the port of Toen-
ing, from ibe United States, and that these were subjected to
only five or six days' quarantine, but that this was due to a
speciil permit from the imperial chancellor, which was
granted in view of the fact, that the persons interested had
entered into contracts for the delivery of said cattle, without
a koowkd^e of the existence of the quarantine reculatious,
and would consequently have sus'ained heavy pecuniary loss
had the cattle been subjected to the regular four weeks'qnar-
antine. At the same time, however, strict orders were is-
sued, that henceforth ihe regu'ationa must be rigidly en-
forced. Tbeoonsnl at Hamburg also informs the Depart-
ment of State, that until recently, large quaatities of Ameri-
can beef have been used in the Province of bobleswig in

Prussia, for the consumption of the German army. An or-
der ha3 since been issued, however, prohibiting its further
use for that purpose.

The above is substantially all the formation of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture has been able to procure on this subject
up to date. THE Stock Geoweb.

Red Polled Cattle.

When a demand for these Norfolk and Suffolk cattle began
to spring up in America the English breeders in moBt instan-
ces wisely refused to part with their best, even at advanced
high prices. They said they would keep them for ten years
to breed from, after this, obtaining an abundant produce,
they would sell a part of them for exportation. The ten
years have about expired, so we suppose our breeders cin
now import from the choicest of Bed Polls, which we trust
they will do abunda itly, for they are among the most profit-
able of all cattle to bring up to maturity. The absence of
horns makes considerable difference in the economy of their
rearing, it is calculated as six to five of equal weights over
homed stock; and then they are not wounding and even
killing horses and oth r cattle pasturing and yarded with
them; men also occasionally.

An objeotioo was first mide by Americans to these cattle
on account of their size, they not being large enough, but
many of the English breeders have been increasing them for
a few years past, owe often weighing at present 900 to 1,000
pounds, and bulls 1,200 to 1,600. Indeed, well fattened at
three to four years old some have attained still heavier
weights, and bullocks over 1,700 to 1.900 pounds.

The average milk from fairly selected cows for eight
months after calving, on pasture only, is from 10 to 15 quarts
per day, and for six to seven months 16 to 20 quarts per
day. This milk is generally of superior quality, commonly
showing 15 to 20 p9r cent, of cream, and occasionally 30 to
35 per cent. Taking these things into consideration, and
that they are hardy, thrifty and cheaply fattened, making
beef of Bnperior quality, we think the general run of our far-
mers would find it advantageous to stock their acres with
a majority of these Red Polls. By usingbulls to their mti?e
cows their balf-bred calves would be found a decided im-
provement over their dams, and those three-fourths bred,
for utility would be nearly as good as the full bred. — Stock-
man & Farmer.

Cattle Judging by Decimal Scale.

Many a good standard has been made abortive through
the scale of points by which it was applied. I hold that the
application of all standards Bhould be by the use of a single
scale of points, and that the decimal scale, being one of ten
sections, each section consisting of ten points. Perfec'ion
then becomes of equal value in each section, and ten the
synonym of it; 100 points become the grand total of perfec-
tion in the whole animal.

This necessitates that each animal be divided into len equal
sections, and to describe in the printed text minutely and
clearly each of these sections, and the principle laid down
that perfection must result from points of as equal value in
heal as in back or loin; that defects which destroy perfec-
tion shall be determined by computation of the percentage by
which perfection is marred: To wit, if judgment determines
a head be damaged 25 per cent., that it be cut 2k points, and
if back and loin 25 per cent, defective, that it shall be cut 2k
point*. The mean value of the secti m has nothing to do
wiih it; it is the percentage that perfection is damaged in
such sections.

All standards serve two purposes — development and pun-
ishment of defects. A wonld-be Solomon, who desires spec-
ial development in a certain section, demands that a large
proportion of the points in the scale be apport oned lo said
sectioD. He forgetR that these t cints are never used except
to punish; therefore has he. by this disproportionate number
of points, only secured an unequal and more severe punish-
ment for all defects found to exist in his hobby section. Per-
fection is next to a miracle, and defects the universal rule;
therefore has he established the rule of an uuj-ist cut for his
hobby section. There is no equality except as development
and punishment for want of it are in harmony, anrl this we
can have only when we divide our animal up into equal sec-
tions, and give each section the Fame numerical value, and
this we see most strongly demonstrated by the use of the
decimal scale. It metes out exact justice to each section of
a cow, equal justice to each breed, as competing with other
breeds, and equal justice to species as compared and compet-
ing with other species. So long as each kind is divided into
ten;seetions of ten 6ach, and each breed and species be ac-
curately described, then all, no matter what — cattle, horses,
dogs, fowls, beasts of prey, or man — all can compste for
prizes with equal chances to win, and by any other standard
or scale of points they cannot.

Let us make the scale of points by which the Btandard is to
be applied, and I can secure the prizes, for by so doing I will
make the cow I am competing with the standard by which
all the others must be cut, by simply making the sec ions in
which my cow is comparatively perfect those of large value
in points, while to those in which she is faulty I would give
but a few points in value. But suppose we made for the Jer-
sey and Ayishire cattle the following scale of points:

typical ap;earauce, we say: In case of ties, typical appear-
ance and condition shall break the tie and demand the Hrst
award. Ossified joints or any unsoundness detrimental to
breedine or loss in practical points, should disqualify from
competition, as should also cows not having had calves in-
side of two years, or three-year-old heifers not having had
calves.

One will see that by such a eoale, and an accurate descrip-
tion in the text of the Btructure, all can compete on an equal-
ity, irrespective of sex, breed or species, simply from the fact
that each standard is applied by the same scale of points.
The judge can readily select five of a class competing, to be
scored, in which surely the best three of a class aTe to be
found, when the scoring would take bnt a few moments, the
highest score to win. The law becoming a law, intelligent
judges' sooreB would go a long way in determining the worth
of the animate, One could, by consulting these, determine
to a great extent the species, beauty and quality. I believe
the day not far distant when cattle will be sold on their score,
as poultry is now being sold.

Such a standard and scale would secure prime all-round
spe imens. It is useless to deny that beauty is quality, so
long a^ beauty in a horse, cow, dog or chicken brings a larger
price in the market than equal weight without beauty. In
this age, then, beauty is of practical worth and has a cash
value to the farmer and breeder. The judge in open judging
does not ignore this law, for he will every time give beauty
with fair quality the first place, extra quality lacking beauty
the second place. Standards are keen-edged kniveB that are
used only to slay aud discount.

Many are carried away by the mere shape of the udder, and
they have placed the value of the fore udder at 13 points,
That feature is faulty aU of 49 times in 50 of the cows exhib-
ited, and not one cow in five handred out of all the females
of the race will pa«s uncut To give one cow in 500 a large
value for this merit, the making of their standard cutB the
other 499 in an unjust ratio for their defects, and it takeBone
of little intelligence to eee that the Jersey standard, as now
applied by their scale of points, militates against the best
cows whenever scoring is resorted to, and for this reason
gooi judges fight shy of its use.

I have written out a scale, but were I to come close to my
own sense of fitness of things, I should say — forward udder,
with milk veins, 10; rear udder, with teits, 10; and making
a section of typical appearance and condition, 10 for the fe-
male, instead of, as now, placing thirty points in the udder
and adjuncts. The present standard of the Jersey Club ha?
39 points; but I dpfy any judge to tell anything about the
quantity of milk a cow will give by the mere Bhape of her
odder. The color and handling of the hide, the wedge shape
of body and milk-vein development are ten times more reli-
able as a means of determining the quality and quantity of
the product. It matters not in what kind of a storehouse we
place our wares, any more than the shape of the bag that
holds the milk. To plice 13 points in the fore ndder secures
a cut of from H to 8 points in nineteeu-twentieths of all the
exhibited animals. A cow may be equally faulty in tiveother
sections and perfect in this one, and win over them, if the
defects are computed on a fair percentage of their effect on
the perfection of said sec'ion.

In the jndgiDg of the future, is it not worth considering
the feasibility ot — 1. Securing a division of the animal into
10 just and equal sections, giving each the same value in
points; 2 To demand perfections of equal value, and deter-
mine its defects by tnis percentage plan; 3. Demanding that
males be judged on 100 points as well as females?

To-day we are told to judge the males, omitting all milk
adjuncts. Will any breeder deny the fact that a bull with a
smooth scrotum, having no rudimentary teats and no indica-
tion of milk vein, will get heifers with fawn shape and large-
sized teats? Will auy breeder deny the fact that bulls of
high degrees of excellence, coming frnm the tine cows of the
day, have not well-d- fined teats and rudimentary milk veiu>?
As a breeder. I would not keep or own a bull of the acknowl-
edged dairy breeds that did not show well developed teals
an1 the ordinary course of the milk v in.

But I have said enough to set the ball in motiun. Let us
hear from others. A radical change in our standard and
scale of points in ca'tle, and the promulgation of more cor- '
rect ones, and then their general use. is a demand of the i
times.— I. K. Felch, in Country Gentleman.

Notes.

Bussell «& Bradlev, Elko county, have gathered about 1,200
head of cattle off their range iu the last week, and will ship
them to California or ship hay for them from California.

Five Union county! (Oregon) farmers hava butchered 450
bogs bis winter that averaged 317lbs. At 4 ceuts the pork
would be worth £5706. That's agood way to farm. It pays,
and keeps that much money from going back East.

Kirman &, Rickey are feeding 10,000 bead of csttle on hay
at their Douglas county ranch. The firm has 20,000 head of I
cattle in Humboldt County, nearly all of which they expect \
to lose on account uf the heavy snowfall in that region.

The Argentine Republic has reoently granted a bounty of i
five per cent on capital of companies hxp -rting dressed beef. ' I
This has led to several establishmeets exporting on a very I
large scale, fitting up, special steamers with machinery for I
freezing and stowing cargoeB.

Canadian cattle foreign trade is decidedly on the increase,
the present season boing the largest on record It is stated I
that in the future all beasts fr-'iu Canada w 11 ba shipped to
the ports on the west coast of Ireland, and there pastured for i
a few weeks before being sent to narket.

George Bussell says that bis advices from his Idaho and
Snate river ranges are that the cattle are ail right, bot he ia }
anticipating quite a loss on his Elko county range. He ha6 i
ordered 200 tons of hay shipped from California to Elko, and '
will feed all the poorer cattle aud in that way 6ave them.

The outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease at Steinbruck. i
Hungary, the great cattle depot, compelled the slaughter of i
1,509 head of cattle. According to the c ngress of veterina- {
rians recently held at Paris, tuberculosis is spreading in Con-
tinental Europe. Over one per cent, of animals slaughtered
in Paris are affected by this disease.

Editor Kelly, of the Winnemucea Silver State is quite
frosty, he says: The cold weather, deep bdow and scarcity
of feed iB severe on stock, and many poor cattle are dying.
Some say if cattle could get water out in the sagebrush they
would weather it through. When a poor animal lies down
hungry in the snow these cold nights, the chances are against
it getting on its legs again.

The cold snap has been very severe in Nevada and many
cattle have suffered severly. The Truckee Republican sayB:
The train men on the weBt-bonnd overland express reported
at Reno that 1000 head of cattle had frozen to death on a
range near Carlin in Elko county, and that stockmen say
that not a hoof will be left on Eastern Nevada ranges if the
cold wave lingers much longer. The depth of snow is too
great to admit of the cattle browsing on sagebrush.

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, FEB. 1, 1890.

Wherein Lies the I/iserraoe?

Editok Breeder and Sportsman: — I clip the following
from a contribution by Mr. Jos. Cairn Simpson. "The letters
received. * * * * Criticise the programme adopted, espec"
ially in regard to limiting contests to a presumably inferior
class of horses, in this way encouraging the breeding of a
lower rate of animals, and also having a direct tendency to
limit attendance. * * * * Three-year-olds that have
not beaten three minutes, four-year-olds that have not
achieved 2:40, and the "get" of aires, the prcgeny of which
have not shown merit enough to obtain a place in "the list"
will not be "drawing cards," and the stallion purse, with
■eligibility depending on so slow a rate as 2:30, will hardly
entice many people to witness the. big event of the meeting.
Taken as a whole, the programme can be termed a disgrace to
-the Pacific Coast. Occupying the position of the greatest
horse breeding country on the continent, especially in the
line Of fast trotters, an association which adopts the name,
and formulates a bill with six of the ten events hampered
with conditions which do not encourage the breeding of the
test type of horses, takes a narrow view of the position." (The
Ualics are mine).

The breeders of the Pacific Coast owes no thanks to Mr.
iimpson for the foregoing misleading statement of the action
regarding stakes and purses offered by the Board of Directors
of the P. C. T. H. B. A.

I have no objection to. and sincerely hope that everything
the Board may do will receive fair criticism, but I doubt very
mnch if such articles as the above are written in the right
spirit, or will tend to benefit any breeder or the breeding in-
terests on this coast.

Mr. Simpson in the first place condemns a programme,
which he does not so much as care to publish and which, if
published, would have placed his sharp criticism in a very
peculiar light before the majority of onr breeders.

Before passing any further comments, therefore, on the
extracts above quoted, I will give, so far as it has been at
present decided on, the programme that has called forth Mr.
Simpson's very terse condemnation:
1 —Free-for-all Yearling Trotting Stakea; S50 entrance.
2 _ " " 2-year-old Trotting Stakes : $76 "
3*_ «« ■■ 3-ypar-old Trotting Stakes; 5100 *'
4— «• « 4-year-old Trotting Stakes; S100 "
5' — g:ro Class; 3-year-old Trotting; Purse S50D.
6.-0.40 Class; 4-year old Trotting; Purse ?50U.
7.- { Open to the get of stallions l 2-year-old Trotting; Pnrse S500.
«.— J with so representatives in} 3-year-old Trotting; Pur^e S5C0.

9 I 2:30 list. J 4-year-old Trotting; Parse $500.

10—2:30 Class,' Stallion Trotting; Purse $1,QC0.

Mr. Simpson, on authority that be does not quote, refers
to No. 10 as the big event of the meeting. I trust it may
prove such, but if he intended to convey the meaning, and
had bimBelf inferred that this is the annual "National Stallion
Bace" that has become a feature of our meetings, all I have
to say is that he owes the association an apology for a moBt
egregious blunder which he has gratuitously published to the
world 00 no better authority than his own hasty conclusions.

Mr. Simpson also criticises the programme, especially in
regard to limiting contests to a presumably inferior class of
animals!

If trotting colts are inferior, why then there is a "limit,"
but otherwise there is nothing to bar any lunatic, if he so
desire, from entering Clydesdales, Normans or thorough-
breds (if they will only trot) in stakes 1 to 4 against such a
class of colts as Sunol, Lillian "Wilkes, Margaret S., or Regal
Wilkes. As the Board was somewhat of the opinion that
there would not be a superabundance of contestants against
these phenomena, they decided to offer two other classes (5
and 6) for the ages in which these exceptional colts would
appear. Do Mr. Simpson and his correspondents maintain
that the Board Bhould have told these breeders: "You must
either start against Sunol and Begal Wilkes or stay out?"

Had the "bar record" been set somewhat lower, in Nos. 5
and 6, it might have done as well, but at the same time, it

3250 added.
S300 "
540J ".

would have brought out the old complaint: "I see you just
cut me out, but let bo and so in." Placed where it is, it will
come pretty near giving us "green" colts altogether, and as,
aside from the bar named, there is nothing to prevent full
brothers and sisters, to the above, starting in one stake or the
other (for none of them have records of any kind), I fail to
see wherein purses 5 and 6 are a disgrace to the State, or
wherein they discourage the breeding of the best type of
horseB; nor is there any reason why the colts should not trot
as fast for purses 5 and 6 and the contests proved as good
"drawing cards, "as those that are ofiered under stakes 1
to 4.

It was on my motion that purses Nos. 7, 8 and 9 were
offered for the get of stallioos that have no representatives in
the 2:30 list. In his condemnation of the purses and stakes
offered, Mr. Simpson has thought it necessary to put in a
disclaimer of his being actuated by personal motives or self-
interest, perhaps it will be as well for me to do as much. I
have no colts of my own breeding, sired by my own stallions,
that are older than yearlings, and have only two of these that
are likely to be worth training. The association has not
offered a purse or stakes for yearlings under this seemingly
obnoxious and "disgraceful" condition.

Mr. Simpson dubs Nos. 7, 8 and 9 purses for the get of
sires, the progeny of which have not showed merit enough to
obtain a place in the list. Correct, Mr. Simpson, in a measure,
but they also admit foals of such inferior stallions as Ante-
volo, 2:19i(sold by you for $18,000; re-sold for $40,000);
Anteros (full brother to Antevolo); Palo Alto, 2;12£; Norval,
2:17i (sire of Norlaine, one-year-old, 2:3U); Albert W., 2:20;

wood); Menlo, 2:21£ (by Nutwood), etc., and a host of other
well-bred sons of Electioneer, Director, Gen. Benton, Guy
Wilkes, Piedmont, Nutwood, Sidney, Sultan, and others,
scattered throughout the length and breadth of the Paci60
Coast, many of which are owned by small breeders who
depend upon the incomes their stallions bring them, to defray
the expense of training one or two of the few colts they them-
selves raise.

These small breeders are, or should be, members of the P.
C. T. H. B. A. They have been repeatedly invited to join it.
Is there any inducement for them to belong when Mr. Simp-
son commences by pronouncing their stallions 'inferior,' un-
less they are willing to pit the foals of such stallions against
the pbenominal produce of Electioneer, Guy Wilkes, Sidney
and other proved producers of speed?

Let me try to draw a parallel between one colt and the
other. On the one hand we have (1) for sire Electioneer, the
greatest sire of early speed liviDg, or that ever did live; (2)
for dam any one of forty mares that have already thrown
speed, and extreme speed, to the cover of Electioneer or
some other stallion; (3) for trainer and driver, Charles Mar-
vin; (4) colta trained from yearlings up; (5) every conven-
ience in the shape oi kindergarten, track, stalls, feed, etc.,
conceivable; (6) a selection of tenor more in at least torty
to make entries from; (7) a selection of one in ten to fifteen
to start.

On the other hand we have (1} an untried son of Elec-
tioneer; (2) one half dozen or a dozen mares, usually of un-
certain breeding, none of which was ever known to throw a
2:30 horse to the cover of anything; (3) for trainer Mr. Forty
or Mr. 8ixty Dollars Amontb; (4) colts taken up in April or
May, sometimes at two years old, generally not before three

years old; (5) for kindergarten a square cow corral, no box-
stall, a draughty stable, no traok until he goes to Mr. So
Much Amonth; (6) a' selection of one in six down to one in
one to make entries from; (7) one in one to start or pay for-
feit on.

Now add to this handicap a repetition of favorable circum-
stances similar to those at Palo Alto, as enjoyed by the en-
tries made by San Mateo, Bosemeade, Pleasanton, and Tal-
ensin stock farms. What I should like to know is the odds
against colt number two getting a share of the purse. Ad-
mitting even that the owner of the latter has no one but
himself to blame and that he adopts all the measures used at
these farms, is not the produce of his untried sire out of an
untried mare still unreasonably handicapped?

Palo Alto usually enters in stakes foals by two or three
stallions other than Electioneer, and usually, also, the starter
io represent the stable is by Electioneer. Does this brand
the sires of the other entries as "inferior?" Certainly inie-
ri or to Electioneer. They and their get may not hold a candle
to the old horse and his produce, yet the former may be great
horses. These other stallions also have the use of these
"producing" mares, and yet they are seldom started. Why
then ask still more heavily handicapped stallions on the out"
side either to co me in and compete with the best of Palo
Alto, San Mateo, Pleasanton, etc., or stay out altogether,
when, as a rule, Palo Alto itself dare not start any but the
best foal of its best stud?

Palo Alto is run on business principles and to pay its way-
when we see its trainer behind a horse we all know he is out
for the stuff and for the fame of its great stallions; we do not
see Mr. Marvin biing out an Electioneer when there is a
moral certainty of his being distanced by a phenomenal colt
like Begal Wilkes, that happened aloDg last fall.

Did Marvin acknowledge Electioneer to be an 'inferior
stallion to Guy Wilkes by staying in the stable on this occa-
sion? Of course not. Why then expect the small breeder
to put himself in that position with the odds ten times
greater against him than against Palo Alto or any other great
breeding farm.

Did Marvin disgrace this coast, the Palo Alto Farm and
the great Electioneer wbeD he entered Palo Alto in the 2:20
class, and not in the free-for-all in the early part of last fall's
circuit, or Express in the 2:30 class and not in the 2:20 class,
after he had shown them 2:18 on the farm?

Certainly not: be entered tbem where they had a right to
enter and where they had a reasonable chance to win their
share of the money, and that is all that the smaller breeders
are asking and that the Board of Directors have offered to
them in purses 7, S and 9.

A great many small breeders own sons of Electioneer, Guy
Wilkes, Sultan, etc., and although they may all hope, there
are but few who expect them to prove as great producers as
their sires. A little encouragement will go a long way with
them as with most horsemen. Trotting a close second to
Palo Alto, San Mateo or Pleasanton in 2:20 or even 2:16 may
be glory, but it does not so much as give one a record of
2:30, and is most decidedly encouraging. It is the record
that tells.

Alfred G. trotted a most wonderful race at Oakland against
Atto Bex, Express and others, and I believe another great
race at Stockton; but, so far as bis fame in Kentucky is con-
cerned, the mark he achieved at Napa against time, is worth
five hundred such races as the one at Oakland in which he
never won a heat, and therefore got no record. In the
former instance be proved to a few spectators that he was a
fast and game boree. In the latter he proved to the world
what rate of speed he could and did carry, and the mark set
opposite his name becomes part of that name.

The smaller breeder* have no desire to go in for 'tin cup"
marks, bat they want a chance to get records and to get
honestly in fair contests. It is Dot for an associ

the P. C. T. H. B. A. to tarn up its nose at these small
breeders and say, 'Look here, gentlemen, we want your an-
nual and membership dues, but if you espeot us to return
any part of it to your 'inferior' horses or their scrub pro-
duce, you have come to the wrong shop.'

The small breeders, the beginners and purchasers of the
sons of the great stallions folly appreciate that whatever
is beneficial to the owners of the great speed producers is
more or less beneficial to them.

The owners of stallions of established reputation should
keep in mind, that those reputations will be still further en-
tranced of their sons be given the opportunity to prove that
they also will breed speed, sis grandsons and daughters of
Electioneer last year fought their way into the 2:30 list.
Not a single one of them was placed there by Palo Alto; nor
did any of them get there in free for all colt stakes.

The sires of every one of these six were prior to last year
•inferior' horses whose progeny were not of sufficient merit
to obtain a place in the list. To-day their produce are being
sought after for shipment to the East.

If the P. C. T. H. B. A. was gotten up for the sole purpose
of exhibiting Sunols, Regal Wilkes, Faustinos, Directs,
Palo Altos, Stambouls and their equals and condemning
everything else as inferior and 'a disgrace to the Pacific Coast,'
we might as well close out the Bmall breeders and the As-
sociation at once.

I have given my reasons at length for offering this class of
colt stakes, and I trust that Mr. Simpson's correspondents
will do as much for opposing them. I believe that in sugges-
ting colt stakes Nos. 7, 8, and 9, I met the desires of a ma-
jority of the large and small breeders who belong to the as-
sociation; I therefore invite them to express their views
through the press or by letters addressed to the secretary
with or without permission to print them over their signa-
tures. I know that it is not my intention to go counter to
the general desires of the members and I have no reason to
believe any of my fellow directors to feel differently to myself
in that respect.

Certainly, if the members view the programme as Mr.
Simpson does, as a disgrace to the Paoific CoaBt, the action
of the Board will necessarily reflect on the Association and
indirectly on the individual members.* I trust therefore they
will make their opinions known as above suggested.

Respectfully, yours, Wilfred Page.

A HuDdred Years Ago.

Stud Fees of the Olden Time In Contrast With Those of
To-day.

i

The advertisements of stallions in the old Kentucky Ga-
zette of 1789. just a hundred years ago, furnish curious
reading in this day of high priced stud fees. Now we are
standing horses at a thousand, five hundred and down to a
hundred dollars, and a few below these figures, says the Live
Stock Kecord. In looking over the Kentucky Gazette of
1789 we find the following list of stallions, their pedigrees
and the fees asked for their services. The stud fees at the
present times, $500 and $1,000, are more than these horses
of a hundred years ago cost, judging by service fees.

Don Carlos, bay, 15 hands, foaled 1772, by imp Figaro,
dam Primrose by imp Dove, stood at Gen. Charles "Scott's at
40 shillings a mare, payable in corn, beef, bacon, cows, calves,
sheep, hogs, butter or lard.

Don Careless, bay, 15| hands, by Old Don Careless, said to
have been imported by Col. Taylor of Virginia, dam by Tom
Jones, stood at Francis Keene's at $5 the season, payable in
corn, calves, neat cattle, Bheep, pork, wheat, rye or oats, at
their cash value.

Dolphin, bay, 15 hands, foaled 17S2, by Godolphin, dam
Kitty Fisher, by Fitzhugh's Eegulus, grandam imp. Lady
Northumberland, by Northumberland, etc., stood at Samuel
Beeler's at $4, or 10 shillings a leap, payable in cash or
country produce at market rates.

Ferguson's Guy, gray, by Simm's Wild air, dam by Skip-
worth,s Comus, grandam by Imp. Jolly Roger, etc., stood at
Bryant Ferguson's at 20 shillings or .country produce at
cash prices.

Laburnam, chestnut, 15 hands, by Imp. Lath, dam Imp.
Kitty Fisher, by Cade, at $10 the season, or 400 pounds of
tobacco, or 10 barrels of corn, or 400 pounds of pork, or 20
bushels of rye, or any merchantable produce.

Mogul, bay, by imp Lath, at $4, payable in corn, rye,
wheat, bacon, etc. Arabian, gray, but his breeding is not
given. They were advertised by John Crittenden to stand at
Horatio Torpin's.

The Godolphin, bay, 15 hands by Godolphin Arabian,
dam imp Kitty Fisher. This horae is not recorded and we
give it as stated in the advertisement. He stood at Nicholas
Lafon's at 30 shillings or 200 pounds of tobacco.

Tippoo Saib, gray, foaled 1873, by imp Lath, dam Brandon,
dam of Meade's Celer, Pilgrim, Clodias, etc., by imp Aris-
totle, etc., stud at S. Johnson's near mouth of Hickman at
50 shillings the season, with a proviso that the season might
be discharged by the payment of 40 shillings in casb, or in
beef, young cattle, tobacco, pork, hemp, butter, etc., at mar-
ket rates..

Union, bay, foaled 1772, by Shakespeare, dam by Nonpa-
reil, grandam by imp. Traveller, fro., stood at George Black-
burn's in Woodford County at 3 pounds, or 5 pounds to in-
sure. It is well to state a Kentucky shilling was worth 16§
cents, and a Kentucky pound was $3.33. It will be seen by
the above that in those times a hundred years ago stud hor-
ses in Fayette County and that immediate neighborhood
were extrtmely well bred, and doubtless from the figures
asked for their service can be explained to a great extent the
good foundation laid for Kentucky Btock. Without excep-
tion they were well bred and no other kind were advertised,
so farmers and breeders had to use them or nothing. Only
ten were advertised when we have hundreds at this day, and
the highest priced fee was $10, while ours are np to $500
and in some oases $1000.

Its Wonderful Mechanism.

The Horse's Heart a Ureat Double Force Pump.

The ablest physiologist cannot tell what is life, thoogh he
can give a thousand proofs that stagnation is death; the
chemist oannot tell how oxygen and carbon combine so as to
maintain heat with such unerring regularity in any climate;
the mechanic cannot discover how a fluid so thiok as blood
is passed so rapidly through tubes too fine to pass the purest
water, nor can he show ub where the motive power origin-
ates. The most elaborate, complete and delicate machine
ever constructed by the skill of man is a clumsy, bungling,
wasteful piece of mechanism compared to the organization
that circulates, warms and invigorates the blood ot tbe horse
— the heart, the great double force pump which appears to
keep all in motion.

To the right side of the heart comes a stream of dark fluid,
composed of blood, that has gone the round of the system,
and of newly made chyle, selected and extracted by very fine
Jacteals from the food passing through the bowels. This
mixture is immediately pumped out of the heart into the
longs to be warmed, purified, and supplied with new oxy-
gen. It there gets rid of its load of poisonous carbonic acid
gas, and is changed from a dull dark to a bright red color.
How is all this done in a few seconds? The lungs are a
beautiful Bight under the microscope, and would be far more
so if it were possible to see them at work. They contain
millions of cells, too minute to be Eeen by the eye, yet each
cell receives its particle of blood or its particle of air, and
without confusing tbem together allows the air to get near
enough to the blood to give it oxygen and to take away car-
bonic acid gas, to burn up waste material and to effect all
the known and unknown changes necessary to tit it to carry
new life and heat and vigor to every part of the body.

Every particle of blood is made to meet the fresh air, not
only with.ut cooling it, but heating it in the process, and
heating it most when the air introduced is coldest. Having
been thus fitted for its work, the blood goes back to the heart,
entering it now on the left side, and is immediately pumped
into the arteries which carry it all over the system, deliver-
ing the required quantity as fresh and pure at the feet as at
the heart itself, pulling down and building up wherever and
whatever is necessary, carrying nerves, brain, muscles, hair,
hoofs, skin, or boDes, through vessels too small to carry wa-
ter and flowing into the veins comes back again to tbe right side
of the heart to be again passed through the warming and
purifying tire in the lungs. All this is done so rapidly that
the whole of the blood in the body passes through the heart
in a time varying from one to three minutes, and the fast-
er it is kept going by reasonable exercise the more completely
does it accomplish its work

Fire is the rapid combination of carbon with oxygen.
Wherever this combination takes place, either quickly or
slowly, heat is produced in exact proportion to the amount
of carbon and oxygen mixed together. It is seen going in
hearth fires fast enough to produce a destructive flame, and
still faster in the smith's fire, where the oxygen is rapidly
forced into contact with the carbon by the smith's bellows.
The same thing goes on slowly in the lungs, restrained and
regulated by a strictly limited supply of oxygen. One prin-
cipal reason why the blood is heated most in cold weather is
because cold air lies in less compass than warm air, so that
the same pipes can convey more of it, and consequently more
oxygen at each inspiration.

The lungs are a wonderful self regulating furnace that
warms the blood just as much and no more than is needed,
while the warm blood, by its rapid circulation through a
beautiful syBtem of pipes, warms every inch of the body, and
with the help of a good, healthy clean skin, will preserve a
uniform temperature of about 100 degrees, whether surround-
ed by a temperature 20 degrees below zero or 260 degrees
above it. Thus the blood is always kept warm enough to
circulate through tubes too small to be seen, yet never warm
enough to injure the inconceivably fine texture that composes
the millions of cells in which the blood meets, without ming-
ling with, the air in the lungs.

There is a beautiful and wonderful feature in connection
with circulation which cannot be understood without going a
little into the composition of the blood itself. The greater
part of the blood is greasy water, but^about 13 per cent, of it
consists of minute onion shaped particles, or little soft,
tough, flattened circles, about the three-thousandth part of
an inch through their greatest diameter, and the ten-thous-
andth of an inch between their flatter Bides.

These are called blood corpuscles, or blood cells, and con-
sist of a material called crnor, which has the property of
attracting oxygen from the air, and of parting with it to the
various tissues of tbe body, or, in other words, of picking it
up in the lungs and carrying it to any part of the body that
wants it.

These little cells go out from the lungs loaded with oxygan,
which they take to combine with carbon in the distant tissues
of the body. They return with their color changed from red
to black and loaded with carbonic acid gaB, produced by the
combiuation of the oxygen with the carbon, in the exhausted
tissues of the body.

Thus while the purely liquid part of the blood gathers heat
in the lungB and carries it to every part of the body, just as
warm water would do passing through a furnace and run-
ning back through the pipes of a hot house, these little blood
cells go out, not only warmed themselves, but carrying out
the material with which to keep up a little fire at the extrem-
ities and bring back the poisonous products of that fire, to be
sent out with the warm, moist air from the lungs. They thus
keep up heat by burning away waste material at the extremi-
ties, just as it is kept np on a larger scale in the lungs. They
are so tough that they will squeeze through a space smaller
than themselves and recover their original form. They are
smaller in the horse than in man, and are still smaller in the
deer, probably smallest in those liable to be called on for tbe
most rapid circulation or most remarkable for speed and en*
durance.

Blood corpuscles compose 13 per cent, of the blood, but
that is only a rough average estimate. They vary from some-
tbing like 5 to 20 per cent., and the cause of their variation
is a most important consideration in connection with the
subject of thiB chapter. The smallest percentage is found in
tbe blood of poor needle women, or of any females poorly
fed, getting little active exercise, and above all shut up in
close rooms. The largest percentage is found in the blood of
man or any other animal constantly at work in the cold open
air, with enough good nutritious food. With women shut up
from the open air the blood cells are usually so few that their
feet are kept warm with difficulty, if at all. With too much
hard work in the cold open air the blood cells may get so large
a percentage of the blood as to give a tendency to inflamma-
tion when food or drink of an inflammatory character are
indulged in. Poor blood can only be made good blood by
good food and plenty of exercise in tbe open air; high feeding
without the exercise in the open air will only do mischief,

and especially endanger the lunga. The blood cells can be-
slowly iocreaeed by the open air exercise, they can be rapidly
decreased by shutting up in bad air, they can be inBtantly
lessened by bleeding, and the corpuscles* so loBt cannot be
restored for some weeks or month under the very best treat-
ment."

Thus Mrs. Heman'a allusion to the "rich blood" of the
Arab is as pyhsologioally correct as it is poetically beautiful,
and such rich blood niuBt be cultivated in any animal that is
to be capable of any extraordinary exertion. Iu other words,
if tbe horse is to be fit for much he must both be taken into
the open air and the pure air must be taken into him, if he is
to be shut up at all. He must not breathe air that has al-
ready parted with its free oxygen and become loaded with
carbonic acid gas, or with the ammonia arising from stones
reeking with the excretions of his own body.

The Standard.

[AS BEVISED AND ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TROTTING-HOHSE BREEDERS, DECEMBER 14, 1887.]

In order to define what constitutes a trotting-bred horseand to estab-
lish a breed of trotters on a more intelligent basiB, the following
rules are adopted to control admission to tbe records of pedigrees
When an animal meets the requirements of admission and U duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal:—

FrasT.— Any stallion that has himself a record of two minutes and
thirty seconds (2:30) or better, provided any of his get has a record of
2:35 or better, or provided his sire or his dam Is already a standard
animal.

Second.— Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:30 or better.

Thibd.— Any horse that Is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better.

Foueth. — Any horse that is the sire of one animal with a record ot
2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications i
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better. (2) Has a sire or dam that Is
already a standard animal.

Fifth. —Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standsrd horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh.— Tbe female progeny of a standard horse when out of a
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth.— The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth.- Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and whos
sire or dam is a Btandard animal.

the Kennel.

Reasonable compensation will be paid to those who
send news.

Grim's Gossip.

The noted turf writer "Aurelius" says that he never at-
tended a dozen trotting meetings in bis life.

It is now stated on what should be good anthority that
G. S. Davis paid Air. Steele of Philadelphia $35,000 for An-
tevolo.

C. F. Emery of the Forest City Farm has engaged CatoD,
the driver, and will have a string of trotters on the circuit
this year.

It is reported that T. J. Daobar may handle Maud S. next
season. Dunbar is head trainer at Fashion Farm, but his
term does not expire until nest fall.

Last week I mentioned that R. Steele of Philadelphia had
sold Antevolo for $40,000. It now turns out that Geo. S.
Davis of the Oiaiie?iew Stock Farm, near Detroit is the pur-
chaser.

We have been asked quite a number of times when Good-
win's Annnal Tnrt Gnide would appear. From information
received from the office, we can state that they will be out
inside of ten days.

L. J. Rose will have eighty bis head of horses in the com-
ing New York Auction Sale and the Valensiu Stock Farm
will be represented with twenty head. The sale is set for
March 5th and 6th.

John Faylor has accepted a position with E. J. Baldwin
and left for the Santa Anita ranch yesterday. He will have
foil charge of the breeding department at which he has had
many years of experience.

R. Porter Ashe will have seven racers in his stable this
year, including, of course, the now famous Geraldiue. Let-
ters from the East assure the owner that the great sprinter
is better than ever before.

Mike Kelly paid the city a flying visit a few days ago. He
reports the stock at the Ashe Farm in splendid condition,
and also thinks be can show up a number of speedy two year
olds this year that will be hard to beat.

Fred Barrett one of England's crack riders, sailed on
Christmas eve for Buenos Ayres. He will ride a few races
there and return to England in the latter part of February,
expecting to be back by the 6th of March.

J. H. White, of Lakeville, Sonoma County, is unfortunate
in the death of Accident, one of his best brooimares, She
was by Frank McClellan, oat of the Ralston mare. Her
death resulted from an injary which she received several
weeks ago.

It is with a great deal of pleasure that I contradict the
statement made last week about the damage to the grand
stand at Glenbrook Park. It seems that the only damage
done by the snow, was to some temporary buildings and the
stand is uninjured.

Some of the turfmen around Louisville have made a prop-
osition to have a farm for horses that have been successful
racers in which to spend their old age. The project appears
to be a good one, and will probably be carried out by those
that are interested in it.

The Leonard Bros., Elsmeade Stod, Lexington Ky. has
sold to Governor Leland Stanford, Palo Alto Stock Farm, a
bay yearling colt by Electioneer, dam Winona, by Almona,
by Almont; second dam Dolly, dam of Onward, 2:20£; Direc-
tor, 2:17, and Thorndale 2:22£.

Work on the new Monmonth Park race track is progressing
steadily and enough has now been done to indicate that lo-^g
before the Monmonth Park racing season begins the grandest

The Pleasanton Stock Farm is not going to be out done by
the other large producers who have annnal sales, so Mr. Salis-
bury has made arrangements with Mr. Peter C. Kt-lloge& Co ,
and will sell a consignment from the home of Director on
March 7th, the day following the conclusion of the Rose and
Yalensin sale.

An Eastern contemporary states that W. Mulkey, Kansas
City, Mo., has sold to Califor'ia parties the bay tilly Mary
M., foaled 18S7, by Lucifer, dam Lady Veto, by Veto, out of
Julia Howard's Glencoe; Lela. brown mare, foaled 1S84, by
Virginias, dam Lady Veto, and the chestnut horse War Sign,
foaled 1SS0, by War Dance, dam Louisa by imp Australian,
out of Luileme by Lexington.

Next year's Derby in England will be rnn uuder entirely
new conditions. It will be a stake of £6,000, the winner
taking £5,000, the nomicator of the winner £500, and the
owners of the second and third horses £300 and £200 re-
spectively. The subscription is £50 each, or £25 forfeit if
declared by January 7th. Probably no animal will be left in
that w.ll not be prepared for the race.

A letter received from the Valensin Stock Farm, notifies
me that Venus (dam of Adonis, 2:14) gave birth to a beautiful
chestnut filly, by Sidney, on the morning of January 2Sth.
The only white on this valuable foal is a white diamond on
the nose. A full sister to Adonis should be a very valuable
animal, and there will be plenty of fanciers who will be will-
ing to pay a long price for this little damsel.

"In discussing the point why thoroughbreds are unable to
maintain for a mile their best speed for a quarter," says
Robert Bonner, "I think many men overlook the fact that
it is the pace that kills. The ox never tires because, although
he keeps constantly at work, he doesn't move fast enough to
drain his strength. Even with machinery, to obtain high
speed, the power must be increased in greater ratio. "

Mike McManus has again assumed command of a string of
trotters for D. M. Reavis of Cbico, Mike has altogether
about twenty head at the race track, and he confidently be-
lives that he has a number of good ones among them. It
is now many years since Mike last worked for Mr. Reavis,
and it is to be hoped that he will bring out prominently some
of the old Blackbird stock of which there are so many on the
ranch.

annic, Geraldine, Volunteer, Prince Royal, Badge, BloeRock
Cracksman, Proctor Kuott, Los Angeles. Come to Taw,
Belle d'Or, Tipstaff and exactly 100 others on his hand, the
adjuster of the Toboggan Slide handicap, at three-quarters

The New York Jockey ciub did wisely in giving the sprinters
a chance. — New York Mail and Express.

.Beautiful Bells, dam of Bell Boy 2:I9£, aod Hinda Rose
2:19*. is the only mare that ever threw two foals that at 3
years old had records of 2:20 or better. She also has the hon-
or of being the dam of the highest price horse ever Bold at
auction in America, her son Bell Boy, brining $51,000 at pub-
lic sale. The highest price ever paid for a horse in the world at
auction was given for Blair Athol, in England, be heing knock
ed down at a bid of $62,500.— (Kentucky Stock Farm.)

The race horse has often the advantage of very accomplished
teachers. Men from whom much can be learned. The in-
numerable vicer1, so cftcn conspicuoas on the public race-
course, are little seen in the private training stable and those
who judge the one from the other and think that everything
connected with the race horse must be depraved, would be
surprised to witness the command of temper, the high char
acter, and the noble self control of some of the men who are
entrust a with the care of the most valuable race horses.

Seth Griffin, who has prepared all the fast tracks over
which Maud S has made her records, has written Robert
Bonner from Philadelphia to come and see the soil and

F. A. Lovecraft, Secretary of the American Jockey Club,
has sent to all interested, the following circular:

In accordance with "Bacing Rue" No. 10. the fjllowing
stakes for 1890 and 1891, already closed, will be run over the
course of the New York Jockey Club, Westohester, New York,
under the control of the American Jockey Clab, viz.:

The Juvenile, Withers, Belmont, Ladies, for the Spring,
and the Jerome, Mosholu, Hunter, Nursery and Titan for the

The Wither, Ladies, Belmont, for the Spring and the
Jerome, Hunter and Mosholu for the Fall of 1891.

The daily press of San Francisco yesterday received the
following dispatch: — "The Times-Index will this evening
publish a statement on the authority of Governor Waterman
that Richard Gird of this county will be appointed a director

The most remarkable performer ever foaled was the Hun-
garian thoroughbred mare Kincsem (pronounced Keen-chem).
She won fifty-four races, and was never beaten. In one of
her races Prioc- Giles the First, the beBt horse of his d«y in
Germany, was pitied against her The Prince got much the
best of the start, but the mare ran him to a dead heat and
then easily beat him in the run-off Her races were rnn in
AuBtria, Germany. Engl md and other countries, and she
won $96,634 m stakes and purses She met with an accident
which caused her death, thns losing her to the stud.

As was told my readers last week, Harrv J. Agnew, of Hon-
olulu, arrived oo the steamer which arrived on Saturday.
He has broneht over with him a green pacer called Boswell
Jr., by Boswell, a son of Almont. The nam is Mao.de 2-20
by Black Hawk Bertrand; 2d dam by Hamilton Chief. He
is a neat turned horse, and can show a good, lively mile even
n0ff', Mr. Agnew has also brought with him two two-year-
oU fillies, one culled An°ie Wilkes, by Goy Wilkes, dam
Maude (the dam of Boa well Jr.), and she is as pretty a little
trotter as one would wish to see. When I was present Mr.
Wni. Corbitt offered $1,500 for her, but Harry values the
daughter of Guy at a much higher figure. The second of
the nllitB is a tall, stately miss by Doucaster, son of Elmo.
dam Kitty Malcne by Patchen Vernon. Mr. Agnew wili
now look around for a stock farm, and prepare to start in
the breeding business on an extensive scale.

I find the following rather peculiar proposition in a late
copy of the N. Y. Spirit of the Times:

I have received numerous letters in regard to the bay geld-
ing Diamond, 2:21}, and many have made offers less than
our catalogue price, which is useless, a i we have only one
price to all, and if changed will be changed to all alike. I
will now make this proportion (and I am still outside of an
insane asylum): I will sell Diamond for $10 000 cash, and
will then bet any man $2,SU0 against $10,000 {which is 1 to
4) that I can and will, within six months from March 1, 1890
give him a record of 2:10 or better, I to have entire contri_I
of horse and the selecting of his groom, and all other mat-
ters, the same as if he was my own, the owner paying all
expenses of horse and groom, which I will guarantee Bhiill
not exceed $150 per m -nth for the six months. This will
make anyone a very cheap horse from any standpoint. It he
fails to make the time specified he will then stand his o»ner
not over $8,400, and if he does make the specified lima the
cost to his owner will be $18,400. I have Within the last
ten r*ays refused more than the first amount for him, so that
I have not got this up as a scheme to reduce the price, but
the reverse, as I think it very probable that with the above
arrangement I would realize more than our catalogue price.
Yours, Dell Barker, Agent.

L M. Lasley, writing to me froiu Nashville, says:.
Tot much fast work has been done here yet, though just
prior to the close of the stokes seme few were Bent snori
spins, and were generally satisfactory. A three-year-old,
Burford, by Bouhvard. and a two-year-old by the same sue,
were thought to have shown the Vest. The latter, to my
thinking, is a little coarse, but hae lots of stanrixia and driv-
ing power, yet not so even turned and symmetrical us I like;
still a large chestnut and very much like his sire. El Rio
Rey is expected here abo^t the 1st of Februaiy, and will
meet an ovation, for everybody is on tiptoe to see the great
champion. His stable may be glad he is not htre now, for it
has rained coDtinually up to a day or two since, and, without
warniog, lurned very cold and troze up tight and hard; still I
saw some horses galloping this morning on a very hard,
frozen track. No objection to that, as ihey were not m De;
perhaps it was better they did. There are now about one
hundred quar:ered here, and mostly seem to he ooing wtll.
The stakes just closed have tilled well beyond expectation,
which, by the way, is just and due the liberal management
parsued by the officers in charge. The track is a go >d one
indeed, having been recently — as one old gentleman told me
— "kosstiltd," and other needful work done. A gr--at meet-
ing the one next Apiil will be and Bhould be. The Belle
Meade and other sales will bring the largest crowd ever seen
here.

Judson H. Clark, of Elmira, but well-known in this city,
refused a bonafide offer of $102,000 for the great Bell Boy, a
few days before he was burned to death. The income from
the horse this year would have been $32,500. Mr. Hopper
owned a half interest in the nag.— Buffalo Commercial Ad-
vertiser.

A few weeks ago I mentioned in Gossip that Geo. Middle-
ton of Chicago was willing to match Jack 2:15 against any
trotter In the country. In an interview recently held with
the gentleman he stated that he was convinced that his grey
gelding would make a mark of 2:10 or better during the sea-
son of 1890.

Philadelphia has a pair of car horses whioh for sagacity
are wonderful, if the story is true. Ihey say that if these
horses, on nearing a crossing at night., see a ni<m standing on
a corner of a street with a lighted cigar in his hand, and at
the approach of the car he throws it into the street, the
horses will come to a full stop at the crossing.

Mr. L. J. Rose is talking in a confident manner about
Stamboul making a record of 2:10 sometime this year. There
were many who thought he was too enthusiastic when he
made the wager with Crawforn last year. But there is not a
person who saw the mile made at Napa but what knows per-
fectly well that only the elements prevented the accomplish-
ment of the allotted task

A numbeT of the horsemen who live in and around Petalu-
ma have contributed toward a common fund and will purchase
a Bet of Wallace's Register and year books, Chester's Trot-
ting and Pacing Records, and also a set of Bruce's American
Stud books. This will be a great convenience, for there are
questions coming up continually that can only be answered
by having the authorities at hand.

whose term has expired. Mr. Gird will also be appointed
the Manager of the State Citrus Fair for Southern California,
whioh Is to be held at Los Angeles in March, in place of Mr.
Hancock. The appointment is satisfactory to every one, aod
the fruit growers in San Bernardino County will assist in the
State Citrus Fair."

After pronouncing El Rio Rey the greatest two-year-old the
country has ever seen, the Weeks Sport says: 'If the sickness
he suffered from last fall ha3 not interfered with him, he
promises to be the most perfect three-year-old America has
yet produced, good enough to win the English Derby any
ye&r, and to be a "world-beater" indeed. If, however, the
attack was as severe as represented, it is quite probable be
may take a year to get over it, as has often been found to be
the case. From El Rio Rey it is a long step to the next one,
whichever one takes that to be, whether Reclare or Gregory,
In either case there is a most curious contrast in the sur-
roundings. El Rio Rey is essentially a lordly colt, the prop-
erty of a millionaire, racing for glory as muoh as for money,
though bis winnings are so great while Reclare and Gregory
are animals that have had to earn their daily bread."

A week or two ago mention was made in this column abont
a race tbat had been arranged to take place at Bakersfield be-
tween horses owned by Harrison JoneB and Charles Kerr.
The match was for two races, one, a mile dash and the sec-
ond a half mile dash, there to be only twenty minuteB inter-
vening between the two races. Well, the event has been
decided, Mr Kerr winning with his stallion Apache both
races easily. Those who were acquainted with the running
qualities of the Jones horse, fancied that it was impossible
to lose, and as a coi sequence were early on the scene of ac-
tion to place their money as best they conld. Mr. Kerr, so
we are informed wagered $3 200 on the result and the back-
ers of Harrison Joaes' horse are trying to borrow money
enough to get home. Apiche is a beautiful chestnut by imp
Mortem -jr, dam Toe Bushee by Lexington. He was taken
in hand by Hanger Jones to prepare for the last meeting of
the Blood Horse Association but failed to show form enough
to warrant his owner in starting him. The chances are that
he may be seen at the Bay District Track in April,

Capt. B. CHarrison the Pedigree of Lorena.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In the last issue of
your pap^r, under the head of Grim's Gossip, it is suggested
that I should tell where I got the pedigree of the maie Prin-
cess 2:27J. The facis, in brief, are singly these: When I
purchased Princess I also got another mare Lady Loud of
Mr. Bridge, and upon asking him concerning their breeding,
bis reply was that he did not know how tbey were bred, but
that one of them was known as the Loud m*re,and the other,
Princess, was the well known fast roadster, formerly owned
and driven by Moses Alma then deceased. Upon this in-
formation, (designing the mare for brood purposes) and hav-
ing oft«n heard Mr. Alma pptak of his "M m'-rino mare,"
her breeding, etc., besides having som« personal knowledge
of her speed as a roadster, I set abont the wnrk of tracing up
their pedigrees, as best I could. Of Mr. Warren Loud, who
bred Lady Loud, I easily obtained her pedigree ; while in re-
gard to that of Princess I found much trouble, as, in those
days, pedigrees of animals on th- Pacific Coast were not as
carefully preserved as they are now. Upon making further
inquiry of several persons concerning their knowledge of
Princess, I chanced to meet with Mr. Albert Whipple, who
was, at the time, also looking after some breeding items for
his brother S. B. Whipple. From him I obtained the informa-
tion that (while looking over some fils of papers, pedigrees
and books belonging to W. F. Williamson, who had for a
long time been the turf writer for the Alta and reporter for
the California Spirit of the Times, and who was. in bis day
the accepted authority on all horse matters in the State of
California) be came across the ped;gree of the Alma mare,
and as he wa3 going to send the books and papers, amoDg
other things to some one in the East, I obtained the data
which I then copied in my book. In regard to the dis-
crepancy in the name of sires, I made a note of the names
Mambrino Chief or Woodford Mambrino, which accounts for
it as shown in the pedigree-* published. As to the writings
of that p polar authority Hark Comstock, I c«»n only say,
that while* the fair was in progress at Petaluma last tall, he
asked me the breeding of Lorena's sire atd dam, to which I
replied as follows: "Sired by Jim MulveDni, a sod of Nut-
wood, dam Elmoreoe by Elmo. In his writing of the Cali-
fornia two-year olds, she has sometimes been called Loretta.
Snch mistakes are trivial and quite common, and are fre-
quently typographical. Mr. Brilg»r who ©truthfulness is not
to be questioned, assures me that he never said that I koew
the pedigree of the old mare when I got her! And what
could have prompted such a promulgation, unless it be a
proneness to falsehood or egotism for appearibg in print. I
cannot see. Ben E. Harris,

racer, at least gives him a chance to earn his oats.

Prince Wilkes was driven but one English mile in 1889,

is so great in the Argentine that it will be difficult for him to
be raced successfully hereafter on account of the long dis-
tances he will be handicapped.

In EngUnd the education of a horse o'ten and wisely be
gins on the first day of its existence. The little long legged
animal is brought into a loose box with its mother, and if
not actually haltered and taught to lead, is gently handled
from head to foot which has a great effect in making it ever
after fearless of the approach of man. The more often this
is repeated the better. When two or three months old it is
often fed from a manger with its mother, and frequent op-
portunities taken to handle it- It is sometimes slut up in a
loose box during the forced absence of its mother and at
others follows her through the roads, over the bridges, and
among the sights and scenes of its future life.

purposes renovating and improving the track and grounds
so that it will be the equal of any in the State.

Mr. E. B. Muir, a well known trotting horse breeder, re-
Biding io Donerail, Ky., is improving in health and will soon
be out again. Mr. Muir is the owner cf Nellie Burns 2:20|
and Bums McGregor two-year-old record 2:29|.

The condition of the local pool rooms baB been peculiar for
severnl days. Last Saturday they obtained no returns, but
on Monday morning they recaived the winners, but were left
in the same piedicament with regard to Monday's races.

Six thoroughbred foals already at Palo Alto speak volumes
for the careful management exercised by Superintendent
Henry Walsh. Racine's dam Fairy Rose has a filly by imp.
Cheviot while Flirt dam of Gorgo and Flambeau haB a colt
by Flood.

Samuel Gamble has purchased (presumably for Mr. Hobart)
of Hart Boawell, Lexington, Ky., Nancy Lee, bay mare,
foaled 1S6S, by Dictator — Sophy, by Alexander's El win For-
est, for $6,000, She is the dam of the famous Nancy Hanks
2:24£, who wbb never beaten.

Mr. Baldwin will attempt to raise some January foals next
Beason, and in pursuance of that object several of his younger
mares, including probably Mollie'^ Last. Viente, Rosebud
and Atalanta, will be bred this month to The Emperor, Gano,
Verano and the other stallions.

The managers of the new Linden course have begun to
make preparations for a meeting at their track, to beheld at
the same time as the meeting at Elizabeth. It is possible
that the officers of the two clubs may arrange matters bo
that there will not be a conflict between them. Again, it is
said that the Elizabeth course will be kept open for the en-
tire month, from April 15th to May 15th. regardless of the
movements of the management of other tracks.

The stable of Megibben & Co., including Laura Davidson,
Sportsman, that trio of good three-year olds, Avondale, E-
berlee and W, G. Morris, and a number of promising two-
year-olds, among the latter a brother to Avalon and a sister
to Huntress, will race in the East principally ihis year. The
stable will leave the West immediately after the close of the
Latonia spring meeting. Avondale is said to be the most
improved colt of the lot, although Eberlee and W. G. Morris
both show the benefits of their let-up, and Sportsman, it is
thought, will be a much better horse than he was last year,
and hU owners have entered him in tbe Suburban handicap,
believing that, if properly weighted, he will have a chance
to carry off that rich prrae, for which event he will be espec-
ially prepared.

The following horses with records belter than 2:30 are

valuation of these horses would make them wortn more than
half a million dollars.

The track at Monmouth Park has been in exceptionally
good order this winter, and horses are veryforward. Among
the trainers located there is Mr. LittlefieJd, who has 19 head
in training, most of which could be put iu racing trim in
three wetbs or less, among them area good-looking two-
year-old My Craft (Fellow Craft— Hegbiz), Heeltap?, who is a
brother to Monopole, Adventure, by Miser, out of Perad*
venture, Simrock (Fellow Craft — Elmira), a very jromising
two-year-old, having shown better form tban any yearling
previously handled by Littlefield, and Joe, a two-year-old by
Joe Daniels, out of Vestella, purchased at the Haggio yearl-
ings of 18S9. The old«r horses are all doing well, aud should
give an account of themselves.

Lucien Appleby (late Appleby & Johnson) although not
generally credited with owning any horses at present, has by
no means abandoned the sport he loves. Mr. Apppleby is
now living in a handsome cottage just opposite the Little Sil-
ver station, near;Monmouth Park. The cottBge, palatial in
size, is fitted up with every improvement, and Mr. Appleby
enjoys his suburban residence. More than that, Builder
Decker is now erecting for him a two story barn and stable
witb twelve box stalls, and it is being built in the best possi-
ble manner.

Reports from Cynthiana say that Hon. T. J. Megibben, the
famous breeder and President of the Latonia Jockey Club,
still continues in a most dangerous condition, and fears are
entertained that he will never arise from his sick bed. His
death would not only be a loss to his immediate section, but
to the entire torf world, he being honored and esteemed by
turfmen all over the United States. It is understood that in
the event of hi= death he has madeprovisions for the future
carrying on of his famous establishment, Edgewater Stud
Farm.

Eighteen heavy gray horse3 were consigned to A. L. Tip-
lio, Ntwark, by a dialer in Basto, Pennsylvania, on January
10th. Oq their arrival at the freight yards of the New Jersey
Central Railroad, fifteen were suffocated, there being no ven-
tilation except througb the doors.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Coney Island Jockey
Club held a fortnight ago, it was resolved that members of
the American Jockey Club in good standing, who may apply
and be elected to the Coney Island Jockey Club prior to
March 1st, shall be admitted without initiation fee.

At the last Stanford sale in New York about a yeaT ago,
Lectorer — then 3 years old — by Electioneer, dam Mamie C,
dam of Azmoor, 2:215- was sold to Professor F. C. Fowler for
for $1100; about a fortnight ago Lecturer was resold to
Messrs. Bundle and White, Danbory; price, 56,500.

Among the mareB book lo Axtell for next season is Butter-
fly 2:19}. She is by Young Jim, son of George Wilkes, dam
Tansey. daughter of George Wilkes, uad as Axtell is a grand-
son of George Wilkes, there will be in Butterfly's foal about
as much Geoige Wilkes as it in possible to get. Ts it not
possible to get too much of a good thing in breeding*?

Mr. W. G. Withers, Jr., is enthusiastic over his yearling
filly by Maximus (son of Almont, dam by Sentinel), and he
thinks she is one of the best youngsters ever raised at the
famous Fairlawn farm. Though she will not be twelve
months old until May 11th., she showed the other day, the
third time Bhe was ever hooked up, a quarter in fifty-nine
seconds. She is blessed with a faultltss gait, and appears to
be perfectly level headed. Her young owner thinks she is a
wonder, and believeB she will show it by the end of the sea-
son.

Robert Walden, son of Wyndham Walden, once Mr. Geo.
L. Loriliard's famouB trainer, and Bince then breeder, owner
and trainer for himself, was at New Orleans last week. The
WaldenB train Mr. John A. Morris's horses for him, and young
WaldeD, who was in New Orleans on a visit to Mr. Morris, says
he has been over to the Morris Breeding Farm in Texas, and
thinks the climate and soil are better adapted to breeding
farm purposes than California. He thinks the three colts
sent on to his father are the finest he ever saw and will make
a name for the Texas blue gross belt. Mr. Walden left for
home laBt week.

Firenzi is in grand order for the time of year, being at pres-
ent at Monmouth Park; she is enjoyingthe best of healtti,
far better than a year a^o. Indeed, this is a fact a^ rtgarda
all the horses at the track, they are eating well, filling out,
and caring nothiog about the epidemic grip that his laid so
manyhaman beings low. Firenzi was always a slow mare
in the spring, but from present indications she may be seen
this year in the Suburban. Tbat ie, providing the handi-
capper doesn't aBk her to carry several of the other horses
the journey before she throws them away and bpats them.
Salvator has also grown and thickened out -well, and all
the others in the Haggin string are in good fettle.

It is a mistaken notion that M. Byrnes has a lot of Mr.
Haggin's 2-year-olds. He has ten 2-year-olds altogether, two on
the Monmouth track and eight at his own farm. The first
two are his own property, the latter eight the property of
Mr. Marcus Daly. Mr. Byrnes' iwo are both George Kin-
neys and good looking, one being thechestnut coltoutof Bijou
Mr Byrnes, purchased at the Hnrslbourne sale. The Mar-
cus Daly lot were all bought at Mr. Hag-in's sale in July and
are sb fallows : Silver King, ch c, by St. Blaise— Maud Hamp-
ton, and consequently half brother to King Thomas; Mon-
tana, b c, by Ban Fox — imp Queen, the other six are all
by Sir Modred, as follows: Pr'nce Charming, b c, dam Ca-
risBima; Gold Dollar, ch c, dam Trade Dollar: Mistletoe and
Namouna, bay fillies, dams Letola aud La Favorita, and Le-
nora and Bonnie Lass, chestnut fillies, dams Lizzie Lucas
and Bmnie Kate. The entire lot are youngsters of size, con-
formation and apparent quality.

Tbe following celebrated trotters and pacers are among the
1200 head of hordes which will be sold at auction here, at the
Bru-sfield and other sales during February: Susie S., 2:15J;

been offered at public sale in a single month in the same
county.

Mike Kelly, the Maltese Villa Stable trainer, has been in
town for several days arranging for transportation for three
two-year-olds, viz , King Alta, Romiata and Judge Terry.
They will probably go on the Valensin car to New York and
join the stable at Westchester. King Alta is by that good
race-horse Alta out of Geraldine's dam, Cousin Peggy; Judge
Terry is by Alta out of Pet, by Norfolk, while Romiata is by
(imp ) Woodlands out of D zzy Blonde. Cousin Peggy has a
yearling filly by Alta, bat is not in foal this year, and will be
bred back to Alta. Mike will have half a dozen horses East
this season, viz , Geraldine, Flood Tide, Abdiel, and the
three two-year-olJs previously mentioned. J. Wall, Kelly's
lieutenant, is in charge of the three at present in the East.
Kelly, whose leg is all riebt now, not hnving bothered him
for some time, says that El Rio Rey will be better than ever
this season, while their half-bred mare (for so he says they
call her at Westchester}, Geraldine, will be pretty hot goods
io a sprint or two, and if lightly weighted in tbe Brooklyn
Flood Tide, should give a good account of himself.

Eogene Leigh, the well known trainer, was in Lexing!on
last week inspecting the stables preparatory to choosing one
for the accommodation of his own horses and tbe Hankina
string, which is in his charge. Twenty of Hankins' horses
will be trained here, while the rest, in charge of Tom Kiley
will go to Memphis to take part io the early spring southern
racing It is understood that Terra Cotta, Egmont and Little
Minch will all tbree be placed in tho stud this wiDter, and
not be trained again. The latter horse could doubtless stand
another campaign, but his owner is of the opinion he haB
done enough on the turf. He is now ten years old, and since
Mr. Hunkms purchased him in the winter of 1886 for $6,000,
he has won a total of thirty-seven races, and $29,765 in
Btakes and purses. As to Egmont and Terra Cotta, they
are both badly bowed, and while they might be good for a
race or two, it is almost certain neither one of them conld
make a long campaign. Terra Cotta cost his present owner
$17,500, and he has won for him $19,065 in stakes and
pnr66B, while Egmont since entering the Hankins stable at a
cost of $10,500, has won the neat sum of $15,494. Thus Mr,
Hankins is several thousand ahead on his Btaliions.

Marcus Daly's Thoroughbreds.

We hare been asked many timeB what thoroughbreds Mar-
cus Daly has at Riverside Farm on the Bitter Root, Montana.
An old correspondentof the Breeder and Sprotsman visited
the ranch just before the first consignment started Eist, and
Beads ns his opinion of the different bangtails which he saw
there: —

Missoula Coanty to-day boasts the possession of twenty-
two of the handsomest thoroughbred yearling colts and fillies
owned by any one man in the United States. This seemB
like a broad assertion, but a visit to Mr. Marcus Daly's Riv-
erside Farm at Charlo station on the Bitter Root branch of
the Northern Pacific, will be enough to convince the most
skeptical. The Breeder and Sportsman reporter went out
there last Monday, and in a stay of three hours saw enough
to convince him that there was nothing to equal it either at
Woodburn or Belle Meade, and nothiDg to surpa3B it at the
famous St. Alban's Stud Farm near Geelong in Australia.
These youngsters were all bred at Mr. J. B. H<ggin's Ran-
cho del Paso, near Sacramento and were sold at auction near
New York in July last. The prices paid were the heaviest
average per head ever known in America, and the New York-
ers made Mr. Daly pay liberally for all he got. Two of the
olts were turned out in a paddock and will not be galloped
11 nest year. One of these is by Ban Fox out of the iapor-
ed mare Gueeu, and the othf r is bv Darebin out of Aeeno-
ria, dam of Pontico and Pontiac. The others are as follows:

1. Vergie, br f by Milner, out of a mare by Virgil. Has
Star and off heel white. A very racy looking mare.

2. Bay filly by Hyder Ali, out of Pandora by Spendthrift.
thiB is a racy mare with big driving power.

3. Bay tilly by Darebin, out of Katy Darling by LongGeld.
Has a star and two white heels, and is a very pretty mare.

4. Brown filly by Darebin out of Sozodont. Very large
and highly formed.

5. Bay filly by Joe Daniels out of Nonage by King Ernest.
Long and low, but lookB more speedy than enduring.

6 Bay tilly by Sir Modred out of Letola. This is one of
the most shapely mares in the world and iB very mature in
her outlines.

7. Bay tilly, own siBter to Ballarat, winner of the Sorf
Stakes at Coney Island.

8. Bay colt, by John Happy out of Susan by California
"Warwick, son of Hubbard. This colt shows the Bonnie Scot-
land stock all over and may be safely set down as a good
and usefal horse.

9. Bay colt by Ban Fox, out of the imported mare Queen.
This is one of the highest finished colts in America and has
no eDd of quality.

10. Utustnut colt by St. Blaise, out of Maud Hampton, the
dam of Ban Fox and King Fox, the best two-year-olds of
their day. This youngster is a very rangy fellow, with a
narrow blaze in his face and both off legs white. He cost
Mr. Daly $22,000 at auction.

11. Bay colt by Sir Modred, out of Carissma by Kingfisher.
This colt has a large star and two white hsels, and reminds
ns something of ttie noted campaigner Volante, behind the
saddle, save that he is already a bigger horse.

12. Chestnut colt, without white, by Sir Modred out of
Trade Dollar by Norfolk. Here is one of the most beautiful
colts in America. His mother was one of the best of Norfolk's
daughters, and we believe he will prove himself a goer In
good company.

13. Cue&tout filly by Sir Modred out of Bonny Kate by
Bonnie Scotland. A large and highly formed mare, a trifle
leggy but very highly finished.

14. Bay filly by Sir Modred. out of Wanda by Norfolk; a
very pretty mare but small as compared with the others.

15. Bay colt by Joe Daniels— long and large in every way.
Has a few flaxen hairs in his tail and mane. This is the
hardiest and highest strong horse in the bunch.

16. Chestnut tilly by Warwick, out of Eliza by Norfolk.
Has three white legs and a blazo face. This filly has been
Bick, and has been given littlo or no work.

17. Chestnut filly by Sir Modred, out of Lizzie Lucas.
Has broad blaze and white heels. This is a very compact
mare and looks like a dangerous customer under a mile.

IS. Chestnut tilly by Hyder Ali, out of Assyria by Lever.
She has two white heels, and i3 a very pretty mare in any
country.

19. Chestnut Ally by Joe Daniels out of Bessie by Onon
daga. Has a blaze and two white heels. She Bhows her
Australian blood plainly.

Oar pick of the colts is the bay one by Sir Modred, out of
Carissima, with the Ban Fox — Queen colt nest. That high
priced St. Blaise colt is our third choice and the Trade Dol-
lar colt fourth. Of the fillies, the one out of Letola is the
best to our eye, with the Milner fillyf Vergie, as second
choice, and the sister to Ballarat third. We shall see how
these predictions turn out when they come to be trained and
face the Btarter. These youngsters are cantered slowly each
day, over a track three-quarters of a mile in circumference,
-under supervision of Joseph Nelson, who was for a long time
in the employ of Mr. Haggin at the Rancho del Paso. He is
a very quiet young man, and seems to be thoroughly familiar
with bis duties. These colts are fed ten quarts of oats per
day and all the hay they can eat. They will not be speeded
till nest year.

Mr. Daly has just completed the handsomest barn in Mon-
tana for his young racers. It consists of two tiers of boxes,
twenty eight in number, with big double doors. Between
them and the outer walls of the barn is an open passage way
of twenty-three feet, to be used for slow trotiing exercise in
rainy weather. The upper stories are for hay and grain.
The outer walls of the barn are built in sections so they
can be moved in hot weather, and the stables are rendered
cooler for the summer months. This is 360x120 feet over
all and gave employment to sixty odd carpenters during its
construction.

''The Science of Horse Breeding. '

When a bridle has been taken off a young horse without
unfastening a curb chain, or in such a way as to twist the bit
in his mouth, hitch it in his teeth, or in any way to inflict
serious Dain upon bim, he will often repeat the mischief, in
his impatience to avoid it, until it becomes a babit dangerous
to himself, and to those who handle him, from the violence
with which he will throw up his head, rush back, rear, and
Bometimes even strike with his forelegs. When it comes to
this it is a very serious business, and one that will get worse
if the horse continues to hurt himself at it. The safest and
quickest way to get over such habit is to put thehorBe down,
and hobbling his legs so that he can only rise to a natural
lying position, put the bridle carefully on and off him for an
hour. After that, use a bridle on him in which the bit can
easily be unbuckled, aud dropped quietly out of his mouth,
before the bridle is tasen off his head. A tall horse that will
not let you quietly handle his ears, hiB eyes, or any part of
his head or body, should be put down in the same way. and
kindly, but perseveringly handled until he loBes all fear of
your hand or jour brush upon him.

Iu reading C. Bruce Lowe Esq.'s letter to the Breeder
and Sportsman on "The Science of Horse Breeding," I was
forcibly impressed with his ideas on the influence of the sire's
blood upon the dam through the foal while in embryo, or,
as he puts it, "impregnation of dam with the sire strain
through the foal's circulation previous io birth." That there
is much truth in the theory do breeder can doubt if he fol-
lows the business by close observation. When I first com-
menced the breeding business, before I had gained practical
experience, through reading and what I might term natural
inferences, I formed the idea that whichever, sire or dam,
had the strongest physical conformation would control the
character and general qualities of the otTspriog, but in this I
found many disappointments. When I first got Whippleton,
about eight years ago, and noticed the uniformity of his colts
in makeup and color, I began to study and observe the char-
acter of his colts each succeeding year closer, and found that
in most instances (with few exceptions), as he was bred to a
mare continuously, that colts were more like him each year.
I have a mare by Dennison's Jaok Hawkins; she is bright
chestnut in color, with white spot in face, about 14i hands
high. The first colt she had by Naubuc Prince, a black
horse with star and both hind feet white, was a ohestnut
colt, white strip in face, one white foot. Her nest two were
by Naubuc, a black horse; they were chestnut fihiee, white
strip and one white foot each. Next she was bred to Whip-
pleton (I will here state that Whippleton is a horse of pecul-
iar makeup and individuality, differs from any other sire I
know of; he is fully 17 hands high, very high crested, deep
through the heart, with long, slim neck, and large boney
head, and there is a similarity in all of his colts that is very
marked). Htr produce was a seal brown colt, no white, a
little longer and more of Whippleton type. Next was a bay
filly, no white; ehe is a true Whippleton type, long head,
slim neck, and all the leading points. The last, now three
years old, is a black colt, and any one can see that he is hia
sire all over. I had another mare, said to be by John NelsoD
abont 15 hands higb, bright chestnut, no white. Her first
colt from Whippleton was a light bay; nest a light bay; next
seal brown, and her last, now four years old, a black filly a
true model of her Bire's family. I could cite a great number
of cases that have come under personal observation, where
small mares were bred successively to Whippleton, where the
first colts were small (that is for Whippletons), modelled
something like the mire or her stock, anu possessed much of
the same temperamei.t and ^ener^l characteristics of the
dam; then each sacceeoing colt would be larger and more
like its sire. While the abjve instaucis go to show that the
"influence of the sire's blood becomes intensified in the dam
throwjk the consecutive foals wkiU in embryo," there are in-
stances which nave cuine uuder my ooservatioa that work
directly opposite. Some years ago a black mare sired by
McCracken's Black Haws, was bred to Naubuc, a black
horse, and the produce was a black colt, an ex .ct copy of his
tire, b'ack, a slim tail, and even the gait was ]ust like the
old horse's. She was bred the nest season and foaled a sor-
rel! filly (the color of her second dam), rfith heavy main and
tail, and low, straight gaited, just the opposite of the sire of
tho other colt3. I could name other instances, but this is
sufficient for illustration. Now the question for the ob-erver
to answer is, ''how to account for the differences above
cited ?"

I believe it is a law of nature that in most instances the
sire, or in fact the male of all nature is the most prepotent of
ihe two sexes, and therefore eserts a controlling influence
over the offspring. The stronger the prepotency of the sire,
the more uniform will be his progeny. But in all of nature
we will find antagonistic elements; we will hnd mares with cer-
tain combinations of blood, temperament and qualities that
resist the influences of the most prepotent hire, and continue
to produce an offspring entirely different from the sire's
average progeny when we take this same mare and breed her
to an inferior horse, one generally known to be less pre-
potent, it strikes a happy union and reproduces the sire suc-
cessively.

Past esperiences of breeding the trotting horse have taught
us that a certain amount of inbreeding has proven success-
fully, and that the reuniting of certain strains of blood has
intensified the instinct to trot and perfected the physical
qualities necessary to carrying and maintaining a high rate
of speed.

It is this kindly blending of similar blood elements in sire
and dam that result in harmonious and successful unions.
When this method of breeding is judiciously carried out, and
not carried to extremes, we get the most uniform results.
When we cross sires aud dams of entirely dissimilar blood
elements, and go to entire outcrossfs, we then strike the
antagonistic elements of nature, and the results are uncertain.
We are likely to get either extreme.

Since writing the above, the Breeder and Sportsman has
come to hand, and looking it over I see Mr. Harvey W.
Peck's comments on C. Bruce Lowe Esq. article on "Science
of Horse Breeding." He seems to ridicule the idea "im-
pregnation of the dam with sire's strains, etc., and gives very
decided opinions upon a mare producing a foal resemblmg a
stallion to which she had been bred eeveral seisnos before.
He attributes the resemblance to the eject the singular ap-
pearance of such a sire might have upon a highly organized
mare,

I will say that years ago I was an advocate of that theory,
but by observation ana experiment, I have become thor-
oughly convinced that there is nothing in it. As a matter of
test, and an evidence of my disbelief in the theory, I will
allow Mr. Peck, or any other gentleman, to select five or ten
mares, sorrel or chestnut, with any white markings (not
pintoes, as they are an enlire outcross; a fixed, individual
type of horse, and according to my theories, the result would
be uncertain); take regular broodmares; we will breed them
to WhippletoD; we will never let them see the horse; blind-
fold them when being bred, and I will breed the entire num-
ber free'.if they are not all bay brown or black in color.

I do not doubt that some of the cjlts may possess some-
thing iu make up and character of the stallions that have
previously been bred to the nure*, but it ther« is auy foun-
dation for the theory the effect of appearances the sire may
have upon a mare, certainly ihe tirst and most notable feature
would be the color.

I will even go farther; these mares can be brought in con-
tact and associated with any other sire before and after breed-
ing to Whippleton, and the result will be the same. I only
use Whippleton as hii illustration. The result wt-nld be the
same with many other sires, inbred to imp. Meseengerstrains
through Ha mble Ionian, Clays, Mambrino Chief, etc.

Electioneer breeds solid color, as did Ryedyk's Hamble-
tonian, Volunteer, Happy Medium, and I am informed that
Sable Wilkes colts thus far are all bay, brown or black.
These sires were bred to all classes of mares, and if there was
anything in the visionary theory, some of them would have
lost their control. Another notable feature with all these
sires is, that none of them can control the erey. I believe
that all of them sire a grey occasionally; this simply proves
the hereditary influence of fixed qualities in the blood carried
down through generations of inbreeding.

Imp. Messenger, the founder of the Hambletonians and
many other noted trotting families, was a grey, and when
any of his inbred descendants are coupled with grey mares,
the original color frequently predominates. I do not use the
argument that color breeding has any particular influence
upon the production of speed or endurance, as the great Nut-
wood was a chestnut in color, end that same color predomi-
nates in most of his descendants, but I do maintain that any
sire that breeds strictly after hia own color (no matter what
that color is), proves hiB individual merit as a uniform pro-
ducer of his own qualities. Fred W. Loeber.

Old Remioiscencee.

One of the oldest horsemen now on the Pacific Coast ia I

undoubtedly Thomas Clark, Esq., of SpriDgville, Ventura I

county. The gentleman is seventy-five years of age, and f

has been interested in horses for over Bisty years. Eia I
memory is of the best, and it is a delightful experience to ei

and listen to the old gentleman recall old races and histoid I

cat horses whose names will always be known to the turf I

loving public. He left England many years ago, bat can re. I

call with vivid distinctness any number of contests which he |

witnessed at Newmarket, and he can also give the pedigrees L

and history of many of the old horses which were brought I

to this coast in the "es»rly days." Having asked Mr. Clark I

to giva an account of the old Lummas horse, he writes as fol- I
lows:

I got acquainted with John and Jerry Welch in Oregon in [

1854, they having arrived in 1851 or 2t and settled eight miles I

south of Eugene City, in Lane CouLty, on Donation Claims, }

They brought out with them a fine black mare by imp. Con- r

sternation who was a son of Confederate, out of Curiosity by I

Figaro. About the same time the Welch boys arrived, there I

came across the plains two brothers named Bailey who orig* I

ioally lived in Missouri and they brought with them a colt I

by Leviathan Jr., whose dam was a Stockholder mare. Le- I

viathan Jr. was by imp. Leviathan, and was also out of a I

stockholder mare. The Bailey colt w^s also called Leviathan . L

He was bred by a Mr. Weaver in Missouri who brought hia I
horses from Virginia.

I mention particularly about the colt brought over by the I

Bailey Bos. as the Welcbs ore: the Consternation mare to I

Leviathan twice and secured two foals, the oldest of which I

was a giey. like the sire, and was *old when about five y^a's I

old to Mr. Cornelius Hill who resided on the 'Willam-.tte I

River, some seven or eight miles above Eapene City. The I

other was a bay with a white Btripe in the face, aud I think, j

one hind foot, (however, I only taw him once) he was named I

Gilpatriok and afterwards came to California, as Mr. Wintield I

Wright of Santa Rosa, informed me in 1362 that he had been I

breeding to a horse of that name that came from I

Oregon. A near neighbor of ours, Mr. Henry Hadley, |

claimed to me, however, that GUpatrick was sired by a I

two year old colt of his, by "Old Lummas" (called at one I

time "Old Celer." The name, I think, was a cjrruption of I

Selim). This Lummax. Celer or Selim, was a horse brought I
to Oregon by an old gentleman earned Owensby, who lived

near Corvallis. The Owensby hor^e was the sire of old Dan, I

who was the sire of Sim Oldham's Comet, a noted quarter f

mile nnd six hundred yard horse, and many other fast one?, L

including a large ■ ver grown colt bred hy Mr. Jenkins, on |

Long Tom, Lane Caunty. Oregon. This colt was named Jo, I
but fmm his monstrous size was nicknamed Lummus, and it

is from this horse that the Lummax breed of horses first I

originated. The last I heard of this horse be was at or near |

Clear Lake in the northern part of California. The horse f

Giloatrick was more like a Lurnmux than a Leviathan, and I
they all run out loose together on the range. The big colt

Lummus ran a race as a three year old a»aiost a horse with |

a verv bad name (not fit for publication), sired by Lute I

Savage's horse Old George, but Lummax was benten easily, I

although during the following season he be&t the fame horse I

quite readily for a wager of $600. After John Welch sold |

the gray colt, which I have spoken abont befote, to Mr. Hill, [

he started East and rented old Consternation, standing nim I

two years in Kentucky, if my memory serves me aright. In I

the first year he bought Rifleman and sent him to Oregon by I

a friend named Ralph Geer, who lived in the Waldo Hills, |

several miles northeast from Snlem, and the following year |

he returned, bringing with htm the mare Mary Chilton, and I

then the two brothers followed their profession of surveyors. I

Their horse Rifleman was not very popular in Oregon, as the I
neighbors were taken up with the Lute Savflge borsp, Old
George.Stbe Lummus horse, Little Tom (Whip and Printer)
and Walnut Bark, owned by John Edmonson.

Rifleman covered a few mares, mestly on shares, as the t
people did not feel like payiog $100 for something that they

did not know anything about. Then reports were circulated j
that Rifleman was ooly a half breed, and that bis dam was a
Spanish horse aud that he had never been farther East than

California, and auy quantity of other derogatory rumors were L

started. Consequently bis patronage was Dot extensive. I
After keeping him in Oregon about two years John Welch

took him to California, nnd also Gilpatrick aod the tilly Mary [

Chdton, and, my impression ip, ran them with poor success, I

fionlly selling Rifleman to a man named Doll, who after- |

w.<rds transferred h:m to J. C. Tyler of Tehama. The filly j

was sold to John BogRs of PrincetOD, and it was from her i

that came the great son of La: gford, Thad Stevens. It was f

after this sale that he started East to purchase something in i,
the thoronghbred lin^ that would surpass anythinc we had
here th*u, but poor fellow, he lost bis life returning. At

about this fame time Felix Scott, ex-Lieutenant Governor of I

M ssonr, was killed bv the red devils in the Modoc country, |

He had gone back (o Virginia and purchased five tine fillies, I

but the Indians killed bim and his two men, and that was f
the last beard oi the blooded btook.

Big Racers.

8 curt) In e the Eccentricities ol the Horse— Busy Scenes
About the Stables.

There is a charm about racing life that the casual visitor in
the grand staud never tastes, and that the anxious, dusty
betting crowd that has only the hope of striking a winner in
view knows nothing of. TbiB is the life around the stables
where the horses are in training. From the grand Btand one
gets a glimpsD, now and then, of long, low, weather-beaten
buildings in the distance, with here and there a boy moving
about lazily, or a procession of muffled-up horses, each led
by a boy, walking solemnly in a circle. But it is ODly through
rare good luck that closer inspection is obtained, for trainerB
do not court attention, bnt guard their stable secrets relig-
ionalv. 1c thoBe rambling buildings the horses are bouted,
and to every hack during its racing season a colony of men
and boys follow tbe horses and do nothing but take care of
them.

I went down to Monmouth Park on an off-day when there
was no racing to see for myself just how the horses spend
their time when they are not tearing madly around the track
for a lot of money; and also to find out how such glossy,
shining, spirited beauties that prance and cavort at the start-
ing post are evolvud from the shaggy, long-legged shy little
creaiures tbat I've Been kicking up their heels in pastures.
The place looked as pleasant as a village forty miles from a
railroad station. Here and there were string* of horte3
walking about, and at the stables the horses that had been
out were indolently nodding their head-* out of the open stall
doors. The boys who had finished their morning work were
lying, heals up, in the feed-rooms, or bisking like puppies
in the sun. Occasionally I caoght a glimpse of a jockey
looking straogely stuffed, with his coat buttoned to his chin
over his sweater, swinging along at a strong pace, stick in
hand, and a companion in short Bleeves at his side, blowing
and perspiring.

Talk about the car^ and attention given to babies, it isn't a
circumstance to that given to race horses. Trainers hold as
varied opinioas as mo hers on the rigbt way to attain the
greatest perfection in their charges, and they have to be just
as careful and study as closely tbe dispositions they have to
deal with. Successful trainers, like poets and good mothers,
are born, not made, for sometimes it is only their horse in-
stinct tbat will guide them. I asked some of the trainers
who have developed the racing qualities of famous horses
how they selected yearlingB; what points they noted.

''It is a nretty hard thing to select a yearling," I was told.
' It is like buying a ticket in a lottery. It may turn out
wel1, and it may not. Many owners, especially proprietors
of large stables, are influenced by a youngster's pedigree,
and it's a right good thing to go by. Then, if a brother or a
sister has turned ont well, the yearling is considered very
desirable on account of the hope tbat he has the same quali-
ties. Blood will tell, especially in horse flesh. Good legs
and feet to accomplish the hard work that tbey are asked to
do in their two or three-year-old forms, broad jowl and plenty
of neart room that promises good breathing power, and a
back not too long, well ribbed back, leaving no weak Bpots,
ehowing a good weight carrier, are tbe points eagerly looked
for. Sometimes we get familiar with the characteristics and
peculiarities of a certain strain of horses, and prefer hand-
ling them. The Bonnie Scotlands are notoriounly strong
and hardy; the Leamingtons all Buffer more or has from con-
tracted feet, and the Billet colts, of which Raceland is one,
are very delicate."

"What do you call a large horse?"

•'About sixteen hands, while fifteen hands is a small
horse."

"How about the size of race horses! Do you like big
horses bent?''

"Not always, Big horses are generally preferred on ac-
count of their superior weight-carrying powers. But occa-
sionally you find a small horse that can pick up the same
weight and walk away from a big horse. This is on account
of his perfect action Perfect action is one of the most de-
sirable possessions of a horse. T u have seen horses that,
when tbey run, seemed to ran all over; their hoofs thun-
dered on the track and tbey lifted their feet high and bent
their knees as much as if they were trying to walk npsfairs.
A climber like this will soon tire himself out, and he will
have no chance with a nice, smooth-going horse that seems
to skin over the ground and scarcely lift his feet. Perfect
action in a horBe is like the work of finely adjusted machin-
ery— the movement of each is just enougo to accomplish tbe
task imposed without any waste, while too much action in a
horse is like the 'false motion' of a compositor — he makes
unnecessary movements, which retard his progress and tire
him.

"A horse's age is reckoned from tne first day of the year
he is foaled. For instance, if he was foiled the laBt day of
December 1888, or the 1st of January, 1839, he is officially
counted a year old, although he is but a day old in reality.
In June < f the your following their birth they are takeu up
from the paddock. wh«rethey have been allowed to disport
themselves and right each other, and are sold at tbe annuni
sale of yearlings. These little uutried aoimals, with untold
possibilities hidden in their lively bodies, bring all sorts of
pr.ces, from a hundred to many thousand dollars; but the
MgheBt price ever paid for a yeariing was given by Senator
HsarBt for King Thomas, the Ian ot the King Bans. He and
T icien Appleby, of Appleby &. Johnson, ran the bids up
Ji'om $5,000 to $3S,000, at which figure the oolt was knocked
i.,.wn to Mr. Appleby. A short time after the public sale it
wua announced tbat the costly colt had passed into Senator

Hearst's possession, and $40,000 of the Senator'* money was
resting snugly in Mr. Appleby's wallet. Tbe excitement caused
by the purchase at that figure has not even yet died away.
"The youngsters are broken in July, and during August
and September tbey are exercised and worked. Then in Octo-
ber tbey are given their first trial on their owner's private
track, or at whatever race track they are. When their train-
ing begins they are handled like a baby learning to walk, try-
ing a little more day by day. They are worked short dis-
tances, which are gradually increased as they grow stronger
and hardier, till the trial, which is three-eighths of a mile.
This they run with full weight up, 115 poinds, and if a year-
ling aocoinphshe6 the distance on the Sbeepshead Bay track
in thirty-six seconds he is considered well worthy of further
attention. After this trial, which is to determine if there is
a racer in him, his work is gradually lessened when the stable
goes into winter quarters and finally ceases. In January he
is again taken up and gradually prepared for his career as a
two-year-old.

In training these young things the greatest care and pa-
tience is required, and many a horse's disposition has been
irretrievably mined by tbe viciousnese and Blupidity of bad
stable boys, while at the same time hereditary bad tempers
have beeu overcome by judicious handling.

The horses' legs always receive the greatest care, and it is
while they are yearlings that their shins are "bucked" — t at
is, made sore from much work. I suppose it on the same
principle that unusual exercise causes soreness and inflam-
mation in persons' legs. Sometimes their shins get bucked
in the natural course of events and sometimes trainers buck
them on purpose, then blister them and get it over with. For
if they don't get sore while they are yearlings tbey will later
on, and possibly interfere with some of their engagements as
two-year-olds.

Tbe same methods will not succeed with every horse, nor
can any rule be laid down prescribing the amount of work.
What would scarcely affect one horr-e would wear another
one out. Some horses are of a sluggish nature and require
continual work to get them in racing condition, while others
are so exceedingly nervoUB and excitable that they Iret them-
Belves thin. They differ greatly about their eating, too.
Some horses are hearty and will eat all that is given them,
but the delicate ones need a deal of humoring and fussing
over. Careful trainers give such animals ODly a handful of
oats at a time, and when that is ealen another handf ul is giv-
en, until a sufficient amount has been eaten. Where a good
deal depends on a horse feeling all right the trainer will often
get up at night and feed him daintily. They frequently be-
come track-weary, and do not perform bo well when they ex-
ercised on tbe track all the time.

Frequently horses tbat have been raced several seasons
grow cunning and turn rogues. They refase to work and
can't be extended at trials in order to find out what tbey can
ro. All sorts of expedients are resorted; they are sent out
to work in the company of other horses, sometimes even a
boy in racing colors is put up to make them think they are
in a race. They get so bhrewd that they will not try in a
race and on that account are often started at steeplechasing.
Some horses can tell when they are going to be raced, and
get nervous about it, and don't eat or sleep well and cause
the trainer anxiety and trouble.

Daring the winter months, when there is no racing except
at little tracks, the horses are put into winter quarters and
given a rest. Many of the horsemen have breeding farms to
which they are sent. On such a farm there is a track meas-
uring from half a mile to a mile; the stables are on the most
approved plan; there are quarters for the boys, and there is a
straw track nnder cover on which to exercise the horses in
inclement weather. The Belmont farm at Babylon, L. I.,
h<is a mile track and the straw track is a sixteenth of a mile.
Those who have not farms winter at some of the race tracks
When racing is done they gradually cease exercising them,
and then turn them out after taking off their shoes. They
are taken up every night and fed, but as little as possible is
done to them in order to let them have a good rest, to tone
up and take on flesh. In January tbey begin to prepare
item for the spring racing, and then the Bporting writers be-
gin to send news about the progress of this filly or that colt,
or the whereabouts of a popular mare or fate of some broken-
down horse with a stirring history that reads for all the
world like society notes. The hordes are at first led around
the straw track and given very gentle exercise. On fine days
they are taken out, and as the spring advances their work is
gradually increased to the distance they are expected to run,
and the muscles are hardened till they are like steel and
every superfluous ounce of flesh is worked off.

This work haB to be gradually done as to make the change
scare ly perceptible from day to day, and the muscles are
hardened by hours of rubbing as well as by exercise. When
an exercise hoy takes a horse on the track the trainer watches
with practiced eye every movement of the horse. If his
work tires him it is not increased. If he does it with ease he
gets more to do next day, and so on till he is "wound up and
thoroughly clean inside, and fit to run for a man's life." The
most difficult thing to discover is when a horse is "fit."
When his muscles are hard he eats well and when he can run
the distance of a race in which he is entered in good shape
and time, his trainer feels safe about starting him. Before a
race a horse is generally tried over the distance at his full
speed, but this is not always done with nervous, delicate
horses that, as the saying goes, "have to be trained around a
pocket handkerchief." Their powers are reserved for the
final test, Even when a horse does well at a trial he may not
redeem bis promise in the raoe, and a horse may run well one
day and fail utterly the next. This is called ranning in and
out.

When the horses are fit then comes the bustle and excite-
ment of the opening racing season, when every man's heart
is fall of hope from the promising work of Mb beauties and
he is on the qui vive for any signs of improvements or retro-
gression on his rival's string, and the voice of the bookmaker
is heard in the land. Then the big tracks echo with the
sound of hammer and 6aw, plows and harrows are busy, the
big frame stables are opened and fresh straw put in the
roomy boxes, tbe horses arrive from all directions and are
walkid up and down and admired, the stable boys are filled
with glee and deviltry at meeting old friends again, and the
ball is started rolling for tbe summer.
That's when life on a race track is pleasant.
The trainer fixes up his quarters in a box adjoining the
pride of tbe stable, and makes it look like a bower with the
pretty things his wife and sisters and cousins and aunts have
filled his trunks with The boys decorate their quarters
over the boxes with play bills and advertising oards, and in
the sttllw of their favorite horseB put up the colored litho-
graphs of actors an I actresses, and the cook sets out h's
dishes and pots and pans in fancy pi'es on the kitohen
shelves, and almost covers the walls with highly colored pic-
tures, generally of fair burlesquers, and the pretty advertis-
ing bills of jockey clubs. To be sure all these things have
to be taken down and moved and put up again every few

weeks, rut it is done with never a thought that it is any
trouble. The trainer sleeps at the stable, usually with one
eye open, and there is always a faithful canine atlached that
keeps both eyes open during the night to guard tbe j-welb of
the turf. For every two horses there are two attendants, a
man and an exercise ooy, and of en the horses get so accus-
tomed to having the same attendance that they will not al-
low any others to come near them.

At the track each horse has a nice large box-stall in which
he can move around easily. His several suits of clothing are
hung against the walls of the box on a line stretched from
corner to corner, and the floor is covered with clean freeh
straw. At the door are all the toilet articles, including
brushes, towels, chamois skin, sponge, etc., his bandages,
his water-bucket, and his feed-box. His day begins at dawn,
which, in summer, begins about 4 o'clock. He is given a
hasty rub, sometimes a quart of oats, and is led ont for a
walk. Then he is taken on tbe track and trotted and can-
tered with an exercise boy on his back. Perhaps his trainer
will let him work a certain distance at racing speed while he
sits on the fence, watch in hand, with his eyes fastened on
the horse. These early morning trials are eagerly watched
for by the touts, who resort to all sorts of stratagems to learn
something definite of a horse's movements, bnt the trainers
are just as acute in frustrating their attempts. After the
horse is taken off the track several boys go to work on him
to dry him out by rubbing him with towels. He is given a
few sups of water, his legs are washed, rubbed and bandaged,
a linaey is put on him, and he is walked around for awhile
longer until he has cooled out and the excitement incident to
his exercise has passed away. Then he goes through another
stage of his elaborate toilet, being rubbed and brushed and
polished until he Bhines like richest saiin and there isn't a
speck of dirt on him as big as the head of a pin. Then oomes
food and rest and quiet in his box. If the day is cool the
box is closed and he has a chance to meditate in the dark
and if it is warm the upper half of the door is left open acd
he can thrust his head out and take note of events or amuse
himself nipping at passers-by. Here he stays in placid com-
fort, while his trainer tees tbat he doesn't Buffer from any
change of temperature, and the stable boys busy tbemstlvts
in cleaning saddles and bridals and s'-ouring Btirrups and bits
till they shine like silver. This morning exercise and toilet
last for about an hour and a half: at 4 o'clock he is taken out
again and walked and cared for, fed an^ put up for the nigbt.
This is the day's programme during the racing season when
the horse is in condition and has not a race to run. The
night before he runs a race he is not fed so much, and if he
is a glutton a muzzle is put on him to keep him from eating
his be lding. Every precaution is tak*n to afford him a good
night's reft, and he is given very little to d > in tbe morning.
Before the race he is "warmed up" to feel like running, and
after it is over he is cooled out gradually and carefully
guarded from taking cold, and if he fails he is not, unlike a
human contestant for a prize, given hard knockB and abuse,
but the good cire and the good feeding go on as before.

In a stable there are always some horses that need attention
beyond this. Some horse is ailing and needs the care of a
fever patient, and generally there ie one that has to have his
legs or feet doctored. There are fo. king-tubs for the horse's
feet, which they stand in while a boy with a tin cup sits
near dipping up water and pouring it on their legs. Some-
times the feet must be soaked in oiled meal, or the legs rob-
bed with liniment and bandaged.

The stable boys are a q-jeer lot, and many of tbem as im-
provident as a traveling tinker. Tbey are sometimes very
troublesome, too. "Where do they all ccme from?" I
asked. "They seem foot-loose, with no other ties than those
that bind them to their stable, and they are with it winter
and summer."

Some of them are obtained from charitable institntions,
from villages, from parents who are ambitious to see them
successful jockeys, and some, darkies especially, just drift
iDto the work because they couldn't be happy awav from the
atmosphere of a Btable. They are all bound to their employ-
ers. Some of the large stables provide teachers and have a
night-school for the boys during the winter. The apprentice
boys are obliged to attend, and the larger boys are at liberty
to do bo if they wish. They all bet more or less, and if a
stable boy has just a hunired dollars in the world and likes
a horse he will put it on him as coolly as he will five. The
darkies buy sweetmeats, watermelons, oranything particular-
ly toothsome, bet on the horses, play cards and shoot carps,
but rarely spend their money for clothes. I asked an ebony
attendant of a $10,000 mare, Tbe Lioness, what he would
rather do than be in a racing stable.

"Nothing I know of," he said, with a grin. "This suits
me well enough."

"How do you amuse yourself?"
"Play ball, play cards and go boating."
"Shoot crapsJ"

"Only about the first of the month. Don't take long to lose
all my money."

A hor eshoer who makes a specialty of shoeing raoe faorsee
follows from track to track, as does a veterinary surgeon.
Each stable has its own kitchen outfit and oook, whioh it
carries with it, and there are kitchens built at every track for
the stable3. Even the aooking s'ove is packed up and car-
ried from place to place. Some stable*, hr»wev.r, that visit
the Bame tracks year after year, and occupy tbe same stables,
buy a stove for each plaae and eo avoid the necessity of mov-
ing such a cumbersome article.

Horsemen are famous as good livers. They have good
cooks and buy the best in the market. They are hospitality
itself, and I treasure pleasant memories of Borne delightful
track dinners.

The expenses of a racing stable are 'enormous. The feed
for the horses is of the best; nothing is too good for them,
and what was said about an old Euglish trainer is true of
many a one here: "That he would give his horses gold to
eat if he thought they would eat it and that it would do them
good." The oats are of the finest quality, and befora fed to
the horses are sifted and cleaned of every bit of duBt. The
racing plates cost $4 a set, and a horse needs not less tban
four or five seta in a season, and frequently as many as eight
or ten Tbe clothiug of different weights for a horse costs
from $20 to $30 and each has his own outfit. Bridles cost
$8 or $9, martingales about $3. Baddies from $25 to $50, rac-
ing colors from $10 to $75. A jockey gets a retrainer of from
$1,000 to $12,000 a year, and in addition he is entitled to $10
for every losing mount and $25 for every winning mount.
For every two horses a man and a boy must be kept. It
coBts on an average $4 a week to feed each person. Then
there are heavy traveling expenses, entrance fees and sun-
dries, that pile up mountain high, and when all this is added
up and subtracted from the winnings it maks a mighty big
hole in them.

The trainers and many of the boys entertain the warmest
affection for the horses. They know them like a book, and
with their eyes shut they can sometimes distinguish them
comiog down the stretch by the beat of their hoofs. — Horse

THE FARM.

To Cure Barb Wire Injuries-

IE the cats are on the limbs the parts should be poulticed
with linseed meal having a little weak solation of carbolic
acid mixed in the poultice Change poultices twice daily,
and when removed bathe the part well with warm water.
Continue poulticing so long as discharge continues to issue
from the wound. When it ceases a solution of two draobnis
of carbolic acid and one of glycerine in a pint of water should
be applied twice daily, after cleansing the wound. If a fung-
ous outshoot should appear, apply a little of a solution of
two ounces of sulphate of zinc in a pint of water twice daily.

What to Avoid in Swine Breeding.

PerhapB of all things in connection with swine breeding
there is none which iB more necessary to avoid than that of
in-breeding. The Chicago Markbt Review says: It is a ques-
tion which has for ages been discussed, both by those who
are opposed to it and those who have been compelled to re-
sort to it in order to produce the ideal type which they had
Bet up. In these days of so many different strains of blood,
together with bo many family types, we do not believe it is
necessary either to cross i arent with ofi-pringor even the
males and females of that offspring toge'her. To one of
knowledge and judgment it cannot be difn\ ult to procure the
type of animal he requires, whereas the extra trouble and
expense which it may likely give him to find and purchase
it oan in no way be compared with the trouble and loss which
ie certain to ensue from the very pernicious habit of iu breed-
ing. ^

First Impressions.

Experienced breeders claim that with the majority of
stock the first impression influences to a greater or less ex-
tent the future offspring. Hence the importance of being
very careful in the selection of the breeding animals, especi-
ally so of males, using nothing but the very best fnll-blooded
animals which have been well matured. This is applicable
to »ll kinds of stock, but more especially to hogs.

tinder present conditions no farmer cm afford to keep any-
thing but the bjst stock, and in breeding care must bo taken
to Belect good animals. It is too often the cise that in breed-
ing farm hogs considerable carelessness is shown with the
young bows. Pains are not taken to oaBtrate the yonng boar3
as soon as they should be, aud the pig* aie allowed to run
together, and in consequence more or less of the young sows
will get with pig before they are sufficiently matured to breed
proptrly and before the boars are old enough to U6e as breed-
ers. Such a plan will not give the best pigs for brteding, nor
will it be an advantage to the sows in the future.

It is of course necessary to use young sows for breeding,
and if the standar 1 of the herd is kept up it will be necessary
to take good care in the selection and then in the mating and
breeding. It is a settled fact that carefully Belf eted sows,
even though they are only common stock, mated with thor-
oughbred, well matured males, will bring about a very rapid
improvement in the quality of the hog*; with good stock it is
especially true. Bat the 6tock must be well matured. A
very good plan oE management is to use the older boars upon
the young sows. If kept in a proper condition for breeding
better, stronger and thriftier pigs will be secured than by
using all young stock for breeding. With the youn* sows
that are being used for breeding the first time, good care
should be taken to use a well matured thoroughbred m^e,
which iB in good condition, healthy and vigorous

It is best to select the breeding stock early and feed them
especially for tbiB purpose. A good development of bone
aud muscle are important things, and the feed is an impor-
tant item in this respect. By selecting early and feeding for
this especial purpose a better quality of animals for breeding,
may be secured, and then with good care in the management
the herd may be kept up to the standard.— Aaron in Stock-

Border Leicester Sheep.

Professor Wrightson, who has contributed to the Live
Stock Journal a series of articleB on sheep and their manage-
ment in Britain, devoted the fifteenth of the series to Border
Leicesters. In his introductory notice he says:

"The Border Leicester sheep is full of interest to north-
country farmers. Not only has it achieved an independent
position as a breed, but it has out-rivalled in its distribution,
as well as in its value, the original DiBhley Btock from whioh
it ii descended. It is not too mach to say that the Border
Leicester is the mainstay of Border counties' farming. It
is constantly crossed both with Cheviots and Blackfaoes for
the purpose of breeding wether lambs, and it is also well
maintained a8 pure-bred stock over many large distrijts, and
its improvement has been, and is, carried on with great
enthuoiasm."

The professor, after reciting the early history of the breed,
proceeds to notice the prevalent ideas regarding its origin,
thus:—' The idea which has been expressed that Border
Leicesters were produced by crossing Cheviotes and Leic-
e iters is not accepted by their breeders, and Mr. Archi-
bald, who has been already quoted, t«mtu it as untrue. Th«
well-known history of Buch flocks as the Mertoun. Mongos-
walls, Mellendean, Bonnington, Mersington, and The Rock
are sufficient guarantee that Dishley was the original home
of both English and Border Leicesters. and that the brothers
Cnlley brought out the Border Leicesters by repeated cross-
ings of Dishley rams upon Teeswater ewes. In Northumber-
land, which is the native connty of the breed, they found
patrons in the Bosanquets at the Rock, in the Greys of Mill-
field, and, later, in the Messrs. Dinning, the late Mr. John
Atkinson, of Bywell-hell (Peepy). and Andrew Wood on the
banks of the 'i'yne. Among the most noted breeders of Bor-
der Leicester^ Lord Polwarth stands prominently forward.
The late A. R. Melvin is now represented by executors, who
exhibited specimens of the Bonnington flock last June at
Windsor. The Crichton Mains flock, owned by Mr. Samuel
Jack, is of genuine old blood, us is well known to thoBe who
are versed in Border Leicesters. The Right Hon. Arthur
James Balfour, M. P., breeds exceptionally good sheep at
Whittinghame, Prestoukirk, and secured the first prize at
Windsor for his shearling ram. Mr. George Simson, of
Courthill, Kel*o, is another well-known breeder, who realised
an average of £10 17s over 42 rams, and £75 for one in 1888.
In Cumberland we may mention Mr. John Twentyman, of
Hawkrieg-house, Wigbton, ai a succe^fnl breeder. The
Eirl of Dalbonsie, Mr. T. Clarke. Miss Stark, Mr. Bain, Mr.
Markp, Mr. W S Ferguson, the Earl of Morton, Mr. G.
Robeson HoH mtnv otbeie Hre distingnishod in the ranks of
briers ■ E VWd- r Leice^ier sheep. Others ought no doubt
to be m*ntiune*\ bu* it woull be impossible to rln f.il1 justice
to the many farmers who hold genuine Border Leicester
flocks."

The Butcher Steer of the Future.

Every year, in view of his Christmas show of meat, Mr.
John Jones, Central Buil lings. Llaududno, Wales, issues a
circular of a unique character, bearing upon his experience
as an agriculturist, purveyor of meat, and student of the
market and the general requirements of the public. This
year he has enunciated some new and what might be called
startling theories, which may cause some consternation
among breeders of cattle, sluep and pigs, and to lead to much
controversy.

We reprint the salient points. "For several years I have
exhibited to the public at my Christmas show the fattest ani-
mals in the United Kingdom, the great majority of them be-
ing prize winners at the leading shows. Each boeceeding
Christmas I found that the taste of my customers increased
against over-fat and unprofitable meat, and such was the dis-
inclination of the public last Christmas to purchase fat meat,
that, although I exhibited probatly the bnest collection of
show animals I ever had, the meat was so unsaleable that I
had the greatest difficulty in disposing of it, and my experi-
ence has led me to the conclusion that the inttrest of the
public ceases in over-fat show animals, when asked to pur-
chase the meat. It is noticeable that the days of fat show
animils are drawing to a close with the public and exhibitors,
and in the near future will disappear as prize winners in our
great fat stock shows. They have served the purpose of ihe
breeder in proving the possibility of breedicg and rearing
animals almost to any size and fitness, a'id the conclu-ions
of to-day are based upon the experience of the jjast a9 to
the feeding properties aDd development of meat of the vari
ous breeds. The breeder of the ideal butcher's beast of the
future, from a consumer's point of view, will have to be
guided more by the standard of value, real zed by his f*t
stork, than to the purity of their breed." — London Live
Stock Journal.

Pl-?uro-pQe"monia.

The heal h of firm livestock, and the b<st methods of
preserving ir, are subjects (f never failing iutereBt in Great
Britain pnd its nnuerous dependencies. On the question
whether a c mutry cm be safely resa ded as free fn.m pleuro-
pueumonia wide niffereLces oE opinion are still Eouud to ex-
iht, and some d .facilities which present themselves have been
brought to the surface of late. In the Netherlands, some
years ago, an outbreak oE plenro occurred amongst cattle
grdziDg in a gentleman's paik. "This." states a veterinary
Burg'OM, thm ugh the Live Stock Journal, "was followed by
the slaughter of ihe entire herd, except one or two milking-
cows, who, hiving been attacked lightly, had quickly been
restored to tealtb; but. singular to siy, time after time, as
fresh stock wa-i introduced, although the teigh> orhood was
free, outbreaks again occurrrd that u. cesniia'edtheirslaught<rr.
Every precauiioo was a1opte<', end ihe sanitary condition of
the premises wa« carefully attended to, but Ftill the disease
hung arouud tbe pl..-e. At last the (wo ciws that bad been
attacked, and recovered some years previuusly, were fattened
and slaughtered, aud in the lnngs of tbe oi.e was found a
large cyst, or agglomeration of decayed oreanic matter almost
like cht-es°, and iu this the germs of the disease were sup-
posed to have lurked, and Lave been occasiomllv given off
with the breath, to (be infection of the cattle that came in
contact with it. At least, after her death, from that time to
this, th<- 1 icrflity h-.s been free from every symptom of the
disease." This is ju ily regarded as an exemplification of
the hidden dat g r3 ot pleuro.

Notes.

Age of Cattle.

The Bubject of dentition has long been a vexed one in rt 1 -
tion to young pigB at shows. With a view to promote uni-
formity in ]ndging, the Smithfield Club has compi ed and
issued the following code of regulations: —

Cattle having their central permanent incisors cut will be con
sidered as exceeding one year and six months. Cattle having
their central permanent incisors fully up will be considered
as exceeding one year and nine months. Cattle having their
second pair of permanent incisors fully up will be considered
as exceeding two years and three months. Cattle having
their third pair of permanent incisors out will be considered
qb exceeding two years and eight months. Cattle having
their fourth pair (corner) of permanent incisors fully up and
their anterior molar snowing signs of wear, will be consid-
ered as exceeding three years. Sheep having their central
permanent incisors cut will be considered as exceeding ten
months. Sheep having their central permanent ineisois fu'-
ly up will be considered as exceeding 12 months. Sheep hav-
ing their third pair of permanent InoiBors cut will be consid-
ered as exceeding 19 months. Sheep having their third pair
of permanent incisorn fully up and the temporary molars
shed will be considered as exceeding 24 months. Sheep hav-
ing their corner permanent incisors well up and showing
marks of wear will be considered as exceeding three years.
Figs having their corner permanent inoisors cut will be con-
sidered as exceeding six months. PigB having their perma-
nent tusks more than half up will be considered as exceeding
nine montbB, Pigs having their central permanent incisors
up and any of the first three permanent molars cut will be
considered as exoeeding 12 months. Pigs having their latei-
al temporary incisors shed and the permanent appearing
will be considered as exceeding 15 months. Pigs having their
lateral permanent incisors fully up will be considered as ex-
• iedingl8 months.

The Ayrshire Cow-

The Ayrshire cow now ranks very high as to both th«
quality and quantity of its produce. A fair average of herds
of, say 50 cows, not especially selected, runs irom 640 to 680
gallons of milk per annum, according to as excellent author-
ity as The Mark LaneEspress, which furnishes aninteresting
acoount of the recent development of this breed.

An Ayrshire cow generally shows 13 per cent, of solids, 13
to 16 per cent, of cream, and 3t> to 4J per cent, of butter f -it.
In the milking competitions of the London dairy Bhow and
the Oxfordshire and o*her shows, the Ayrshires have stepped
far ahead of the Shorthorns, Guernseys, etc., in the quantity
and quality of the milk they yielded.

The milk of the Ayrshire is pre-eminently suited for cheese
making. All sampleB of milk under the microscope are seen
to be composed of a homogeneous fluid, in which float little
globules of butter fat. These globules vary in size, and
while in the Jersey they are comparatively large, in the
Ayrshire they are small and not riBing quickly, but, miring
with the curd butter, make an evenly rich cheese. The
quantity of cheeBe yielded by such animal is about six hun
dredweight, estimated in so many stones of twenty-four
pounds each.

As to the butter yielding properties of the Ayrshire dairy
cow, the ordinary milk Bhows about 4 to 4£ per cent, of but-
ter fat, while selected animals come up to, if they do not ex-
ceed, the Jerseys. The average yield, so far as records go,
ought to be something about 240 pounds per annum. The
writer has had recently tested a 4-year- old Ayshire cow, whioh
is yielding fifteen pounds of butter per week.

It is customary with some breeders of cattle to speak dis-
paragingly of the Ayrshire fiom a butcher's point of view.
We venture, however, to maintain that of all the races of milk
producing animals, she dies best and most profitably when no
longer desired for the milk pail.

The devolpment of this breed within the past fifty years
has been very marked and rapid. The Ayrshire cow is fast
superseding other dairy races in E' gland. She greces innu-
merable dairy farms in Holland, has crossed the wide Atlan-
tic, and feeds along the northern as well as the southern
BhoreB of the river St. Lawrence, and rests beneath tbe si a^ow
of the Rocky mountains. Possessed of the tineBt and nicest
woolly coat of any breed of cattle, she ban lately been esten
sively imported to the Btormy regions of Russia, and at pre-
sent she is unquestionably the favored dairy animal of Aus-
tralia and New Zealand.

The Gr'ffia Bros, have purchasad the Levi Morris Rancho,
four miles north of Wjuters, for §60,000.

Tbe celebrated racehorse Ormonde is to be followed to
Buenos Ayres byone of the finest of tbe Queen's bulls at
Windsor. Favour. te is hi* nance; he is one ot tbe famous
Court House bree ', and he lately took the first prize at the
Windsor show.

It is said that Pedro Altube of Independence valley has
turned out 3,000 bead of cattle to shift for themselves or die
in the attempt, as h« has not feed sufficient to carry them
through. It is not 1 kely that many of the poor brutes will
survive the winter.

The Humboldt Creamery Company evidently finds business
good, f»r they haveranted the Vedder cheese factory at Coffee
Creek for one year. It is the intention of the company to
put in a couple of sep-rarors and receive milk at that place.
The cream will be ha led to the Arlynda Creamery to be
made into butter.

A Taeoma dispatch says at least ten human beings and
thousands of cattle and sheep have perished in the hlizzards
wbicb have raged over the State of Washington siuce the
first of the year. Reports from Colville Reservation are that
the cattle are dying by hundreds from starvation and thirst.
Cattlemen believe they will lose half their herds.

A sale of American bred Merino sheep at Sydney. New
South Wales is reported in the English papers The animals
were specially picked and imported by Messrs. E D. Mor-
rison and Laymond D. Clerk, of Vermont. The highest
price f t a ram was 455 gs. The average madehv sixty-seven
rams was £103 12s , and on eighteen ewee £107 18s. 4d.

Foot-and-mouth disease continues to rage among the live
Btock in various districts of the Continent of Europe, The
authorities are doing their best to deal with the disease, but
its pre gross sterns to be unchecked. In Hungary over 1,000
farms were effect-d when the last government statistics were
published, and there are also many cases in both Upper ani
Lower Austria.

The loss of young stock this winter in Humboldt County
has already been unprecedented. Even the dairymen and
stockrtdsers on bottom lands, who are accustomed to shel-
tering and feeding a portion of the time in winter, report a
considerable loss in yearling calves. Among the stockmen
on tbe ridges, where snow has remained for neaily a month,
the loss mus' be even greater. The sheepmen, however, will
probably be the greatest losers.

Queen was par icularly successful, there were the following

At a recent meeting of tbe live-stock commissioners and
veterinary, held in Springfield, Ills., big-jaw was, among other
subjects, under discussion. Tbe conference resolved as
follows:

"Whereas. It is the expressed opinion of leading scientists
that aclinO'mycoais, or big jaw, is a contagions disease,
capable of communication from one animal to another, and
from animalB to mankind.

Resolved, That it is the sense of this oonfereace that ani-
mals affected with this disease should be destroyed, and that
the carcasses thereof should not be used for human food."

A correspondent in Australia sent tbe London Fanciers' Ga-
zette the following: "A few weeks baok acertain vesEelarrived
at a port whioh shall be nameless with a pen of fine fowls (of
a clean-legged breed) for a well known poultry fancier. Tbe
intimation of the birds' presence on board was notified in tbe
Fanciers' Gazette, and consequently several persons went to
inspect them, the new arrivals meeting with considerable
praise. When the question was asked the official in charge
as to whether the bens had laid recently, with a wink be re-
plied, 'Well, yes, I think I've got an egg or two stowed away
somewhere.' This evidently Rreatly interested the visitor?,
who evinced a desire to have a look at them; and the official
went off, returning very shortly with five eggs! 'Why, they're
qnite fresh looking ' 'Of course they are.' replied the wilv
official. 'Will you sell them? What price!' After a few
moments' tbonght the ar swer came in the affirmative, and
the visitors left with the five eggs ths vendor enriched to
the tune of ■ ne guinea sterling. Veiy carefully were those
eggs placed under a beo, and the result eagerly looked for-
ward to; but, consternation! three eggs only proved fertile,
and these three chicks f. ath- r legged. More consternation!
And the wily official scored considerably, tor the eggs had
been purchased at the previous port of oall for the ship's sup-
ply!"

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED FI ABPHIPPUS,

The athletes have abandoned all hopes of being able to get
in erudition for the coming held days. The prospects for a
dry sp'U at present are no brighter than they were a month
a*o Even if the snn should sbioe continually for the nest
ooaole of weftkB the tracks would not be dry enough for good
parformances.

It is more than probable that the Olympio Club will not
give a full programme of garueB on Washington's Birthday.
If at all possible some races will be held but the chances are
tbev will" be open onlv to members of the club. The formal
opening of the grounds will not take place until such time as
the weather will be favorable for out-door training.

RTJNKEEB, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The cross country run of the U'ympic Club will not come
off until after Washington's Birthday.

Several of the Alpine athletes took advantage of the fine
weather on Sunday last and exercised mildly on their new
track at Harbor View Park.

The New York Clipper Annual for 1890, contains an ac-
count of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athlelio Association
championship games from 1886 up to the present time. This
is the first timethat these games have been recorded in the
Annual.

T Buchanan, the Australian amateur shot and weight per
former, will take part in the exhibition on "Ladies Night" at
the Olympic Club rooms.

Since the storm began the Bay District track has under-
gone a complete transformation. The surface of the track at
present looks like a skating rink, the coarse clay having been
washed completely away. Od Sunday. Monday and Tues-
day last a party of athletes exercised on the track, and one of
the party, an old time amateur runner, Eaid that the Bay
District, in its present condition, was as fast for foot racing
as any track in the United States. Between showers a good
many of the amateurB will take their spins out there until
the other new tracks are finished.

Victor E. SchifTerstein, the amateur sprinter and long
jumper, is engaged in the real estate business at San Jose,
Cal. His health is very poor at present and it will be im-
possible for him to tram for the coming championship
games.

John Purcell is undecided whether he will enter the cham-
pionship games or not. If he can afford time to train he
will compete in the pole vault and shot putting events.

A. H. Lean is seriously thinking about competing in the
championship games on Decoration Day. He has fully re-
covered from his recent illness.

K. C. Philips, the well known amateur, pedestrian, has
joined the Alpine Club.

Several of the local professional runners and walkers are
strongly advocating the organization of a professional annex
in connection with one of the leading amateur clubs. They
claim that it is just as pre per to have a professional annex
attached to an a uateur club as it is to have an amateur an-
nex in connection with a professional club.

Through being defeated by Billy Smith at the Occidental
Club rooms on Monday evening last, Joe Bowers, according
to the opinions of a good many of the sporting fraternity,
dropped from the pinnacle of victory to the level of disgrace.
It may be true that Mr. Bowers in all his tights was fortunate
enough not to have met his match, but at all events there is
no denying that he has defeated some really good men, and
if he was guilty of showing the white feather on Monday
evening that was no reason why the sporting reporters
Bhouldhave taken away his credit forpa^t victories. The old
proverb that ''when a man Is down hie enemies will try to
keep him down," was painfully illustrated in this instance.
In all of his previous battles Bowers made a good showing,
ano it was very unkind of certain local papers to try and
shatter his reputation.

A. H. Lean and E. A. Kolb met at the Olympic Clab on
Monday evening, and signed articles to wrestle for the
amateur middle weight championship of the Pacific Coast
and a $200 trophy. The match will cme off in the Olympic
Club gymnasium on the evening of March 6th. The follow-
ing rules of the Pacific Coast Amiteur Athletic Association
will govern the contest:

That neither competitor Bhall exceed 154 pounds in weight
at 8p.m, on March 5, 1S90, nor exesed 158 pounds at 8 p.
m„ on the evening of the contest, at both of which times
they shall submit themselves to be weighed by the leader of
the Olympic Club at its rooms, both to have the privilege of
weiehing stripped.

Should both contestants exceed 158 pounds in weight on
the night of the contest no championship or trophy shall be
competed for. Should one be overweight, and the other be
within weight, and the former win, he will not be awarded
either the championship or the trophy; but in the event of
Hi** latter winning under those conditions he shall be declared
the victor.

A rest of one-half hour will be allowed between falls, but,
aside from that, the contest shall be prosecuted to a finish
without delay.

Greasing the body, pulling hair, biting, gouging, digging
finger nails irto the flesh, clutching by the throat or twisting
the fingers shall constitute a foul.

The winner muBt get two out of three falls.

H. C. Moffet, of the University Athletic Club, may possi-
bly be sentEa-t this Bummer to represent bis club in the In-
tercollegiate ohampionship gameB. He would certainly win
three first prizes, viz , the hurdle race, the long and high
jumps.

THE WHEELMEN.

Chief Consul B, M. Thompson, has almost entirely recov-
ered from an attack of La Grippe.

Ihe competitive drill did not take place at the Mechanic's
Pavilion as announced on Saturday evening last, owing to
tb'3 fact that several members of the Stockton and San Jose
t ims were suffering from the effects of La Grippe.

The Bay City wheelman team, however, gave an excellent
s ibiljon drill which they repeated last evening. The $150
trophy will be given to this team.

Several of the members who are interested in tbe whist
tournament which is in progress at the Bay City Wheelmen's
club rooms are down with La Grippe and the attendance dur-
ing the week has been unusually small.

The introduction of Bafety tandem races at future race
meets would certainly prove a novelty. A couple of good
men such as Cook, Eiwell, Davis, Plummer or Wetmore
mounted on one of these machines would very easily beat
the Eastern record which is somewhere in the neighborhood
of 2:37.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Owing to the delayed mails we are unable this week to
present our readers with the usual Eastern news.

The seventy two hours go as-you-please race at Waterbury,
Conn., ended at midnight January ISth, with the following
announced score: Davis 391 miles. Golden 375, Hughes 372,
Tracey fourth and Cnrley tifih. Davis received about $280,
Golden §175, Hughes §105, Tracey and Cnrley $56.

Thonns Howarth wan the winner of the seventy-two hours
go-as-you-please race that ended at tne rink in Detroit,
Mich." JaDnarv 18th. Score: Howarth 374 miles, Hart, 341,
Noremac 337, Smith 329, Horan 323.

Tbe Manhattan Athletic Club of New York City wi'l have
to vacate their -grounds at Eigbty-sisth street and Eighth
avenue this year, as a considerable portion of the property
on the Eighty-sixth street side has already been disposed of
for building purposes, and more will ?oon go. A committee
has been appointed to secure an eligible site for a new out-
door headquarters, but they find great difficulty in obtaining
what they want. The club ma> have to cross the Harlem
Biver, or perhaps go to Staten Island.

The Staten Island Athletic Club a few days ago passed a
resolution that hereafter the club should not pay the en-
trance fees and traveling expenses of members to athletic
gameB other than those for the championship. While there
may not be any reasonable objection, so far as the amateur
law is concerned, to the club defraying such expenses, ath-
letes cannot find good and sufficient reasons to find fault
with this action, which at most can only necessitate a curtail-
ment of their sphere of action. Therefore, it is a matter of
regret that, as reported, some members of the island club feel
so muoh aggrieved at tbe course pnrsued by the organization,
that they threaten to witbdrawtberefrom and offer their more
or less valuable services to some other club. Under such
circumstances, the fact of such disgruntled members having
joined could hardly be regarded as an acquisition to the club
or clubs to which their allegiance was transferred.

IN THE STJEF.

It would be well for those who are unacquainted with the
art of swimming to take lessons at once, for there is no tell-
ing when the city will be under water.

Oarsman P. H. McDonnell fell overboard on Sunday last
last at Long Bridge, dressed in his new Sunday clothes.
Unlike McGinty, however, he did no go to the bottom but
quietly swam ashore. After witnessing the performance Mr.
Long stated that be was willing to wave his right to the
"Swimming Championship."

AT THE OARS.

A dispatch from Toronto says that O'Connor was shown
some remarks made by Hanlan in a New York paper to the
effect that O'Connor would tire at the end of a mile if pushed.
O'Connor is rather annoyed at the coustant disparagement of
his staying powers by Hanlan, and Eays he is willing to row
the latter anv distance from 100 yards to 100 miles, and will
bat him §10,000 to ©5,000 or any amount at 2 to 1 that he can
beat him. If Hanlan will make a match, O'Connor says he
will return from San Francisco and row him on any water in
America.

Sunday was tbe first good day this season for the rowing
men, but the storm had left the adjuncts to the boat houses
in such a terrible condition that the majority of the club
men devoted the entire forenoon in replacing their floats.
The Pioneer and Ariel boat houses were damaged most, and
in each case new floafs will be required before the boats can
be launohed with safety.

Ed. Finley, L. F. Nnnan, H. Pless and Johnson Hardy,
all of the Ariel Club, visited the Lurline Clab at North
Beach in the afternoon.

Eugene Flanders, Henry Whitkopp and E. Phelan of tbe
Ariels took the Whitehall and went to the other side of the
oil wharf in search of a better site for The new club house.
They will lay the application before the Harbor Commis-
sioners at their next meeting.

The Lurline Club has some very ambitious oarsmen. A.
O. Konard takes exercise daily in his canoe, tbe "Ho-bo".
He has acquired such skill wiih the paddles that his many
challenges to his clnb-mates remain unanswered.

E Heenan of the Pioneer Clnb has just finished a new
shell, and he deserves great credit for his initial effort. The
The boat is a moiel of the mechanic's art. He has a con-
tract with his club to build three new shells during the com-
ing season.

Charley Long aocompained by his clnb mate, E. Heenan,
took a spin to the sugar refinery.

The Alpine Club will have its new barge before the regatta,
which will be held under the auspices of the Pacific Bowing
Association.

When Charley Long of the Pioneer Club was defeated by
Henry Henceman at Stockton, the former was not at all in
enjoyment of good health. Some of the local osremen think
that Mr. Long acted foolishly in challenging Hmcman
again but the "knowing ones" only smile and say, ''If at first
you don't succeed etc." So far the challenge remains un-
answered, and perhaps Mr. Henceman will take time for con-
sideration before deciding whether he will accept or not.

EOne of the daily papers made an error in announcing that
the Dolphio Club would hold its hign jinks on Sunday last.
As a consequence s^v ral persons visited the boat house only
to be disappointed in their expectations. The affair will not
come off until about the 23 ot next month.

CLTTB JOTTINGS.

Director Daily's expose of the doings of the officers of the
California Athletic Club was by no means a startling revela-
tion. For some time past it has been generally known that
at least twenty five per cent, of the persons who attend the
fight of the club were admitted on "dead head" tickets. If
the members are satisfied with this kind of managemt-ut so
much the better for the directors who are hardly to be blamed
for feathering their own tests. But why did not Mr. Dally
make his accusations long ago?

The regular monthly exhibition of the Occidental Athletic
Club w&6 held on Monday evening last,

The P. C. A. A. A. will hold its next meeting on Feb. 6,
and will hold meetings every two weeks after that date until
after May 30.

The Olympic Club "Ladies Night" has been postponed to
February 13, on account of several of ihe members who were
to take part in the exhibition being affected with La
Grippe.

After all tbe Golden Gate Athletic Club is likely to remain
in the P. C. A. A. A.

Secretary J. J. Jamison informs us that the G. G. A. C.
will be represented at the championship games on May 30,
In a brief interview Mr. Jamison said: "Why bo many per-
sons are down on the Gulden Gate Athletic Club I cannot
for the life of me see. Up to about a year and a half ago we
had in our Amateur Anuex srme of the finest athletes on
the Pacific Coast, including runners, walkers, jumpers and
weight performers. Atthe annual championship meetin s
of the I* C. A. A. A. the Golden Gate Athletes w-re pIwajs
feared. A couple of years ago our team would have won
the flag had not one of its members been ill Immediately
after these games the Directors of the California Club came
to the conclusion that such an excellent team of Amateurs
would help lo boom their club and they accordingly set about
cspluring our champions. They were offered free entrance
into the California Club, and with the numerous other in-
ducements which were held out to them they could scarcely
stand the temptation, and go they bolted. After waiting a
year they were convinced that the inducements which had
diawn them from their own club were merely "air bubbles",
and now tbe same party of athletes have resigned from the
California Club in order to identify themselves with clubs
that will better appreciate their services. Several of our old
athletes have wandered back to us and I can confidently as-
sure you that the amateur annex of the Golden Gate Athlftic
has no idea of disbanding Persons who share in the opin-
ion that the club lives only for prize fighting are grossly
mistaken, and during the coming year we hope to be able to
prove to our amateurs that they are not entirely forgot-
ten.

Another Dog Lost.

Editvr Breeder and Sportsman:— How little did I think
when I reported the sad death of "Lady EUine" that I should
so soon repirt the death of "Countess Lynuette" which oo-
curred on Saturday, the ISth. She was taken the same wav
that "Lady Eliine" was, cramps in Ihe bowels. We did all
we could for her, but nothing seemed to relieve her. 1 did
not dissect Lady Elaine, being satisfied it was the coal ashes
that killed her at the time she swallowed it. Countess also
got a piece in her mouth, but I ran and took it from her as I
thought before she had swallowed any, but in this I was
mistaken as I found three or four hard bunches that had
grown in the small intestines, completely stopping the pas-
sage, which being opened, showed signs of a hard, gritty
substance, which I think must have been the coal ashes. It
was a hard blow to us, and I am afraid it will be a long day
before their place can be tilled in oar kennel. They were a
remarkably fine brace. Now side by side they reBt in peace.

Spaniels.

America and California seem to have a hazy idea of what
a spiniel really is. The FancierB' Gazette says: "There
is probably no variety of tbe canine race which differs so
much in type as the spaniel — leaving out the English and
Irish water spaniel, it has four distinct varieties — the Clum-
ber, the Sussex, the Eield and the Cocker. In some points,
however, they are all similar, such as flatnesR of coat, and
lei gth of ears and feathering. The three first-named are
built on the same lines, important properties teing great
length of body and shortness of legs, as distinct from the
Cocker, which is shorter in body in comparison to ils height.
It is in the shape at the head, which is the indicator of type
in every breed of dogs, that the whole four differ. Taking
the Clumber first the predominant color is white, with lemon
patcheb on head and body. It should have a large Bquare
head with a deep stop, the upper lip slightly overhanging
the lower, and the eyes showing the haw; the nose flesh-
color, length from tip of nose to s«t on of stern up to 45iu.,
or more if passible: weight up to 651b ; height. 15in. to ISin,
The Susses spiniel is golden-liver in color, the head more
square and shorter than the field spaniel, but with less stop
than the Clumber, more liver-color; weight from 261b. to
461b.; length from tip of nose to set on of stern up to 35in.;
height from 13in. to 15in. The field spaniel (in which we
include black, black and-white, liver, liver-and-white, black-
andtan, liver and-tan and roan) has a longer and narrower
heid than either the Clumber or the Susses, but must not
beat all snipey in muzzle, and, like the Sussex, must not
show the haw in the eyes; the ears are also set rather lower;
weight from 261b. to 561b ; length from tip of nose to set on
of stern up to 40in., and sometimes more; height 13in. to
15in.; nose black in nil but the livers, when it is the same
as the body color. The Cocker is smaller, weighing not
m"re than 261b , nni is more i-prightly in notion, the head,
like the body, is not so long, nor the muzz'e so broad as Ihe
other varieties, aud the skull is not so flat, the ears being
set lather higher; height from lOin. to 12in ; ltngth from
tip of nose to set on of tail up to 29in. Small field spaniels
are sometimes exhibited in the Cocker class, and have won
prizes, but the disposition is now to send them back to their

own cliss."

The Best All-Round Sporting Dog.

The Australasian, which is the best all-round sporting
paper published in the colonies, has bad a series of letters in
regard to which is the best sporting dog for their coantry.
Several of their correspondents have bo muoh instructive
matter in their letters, that we publish some of them in
esteuso.
To the Editor of the Australasian —

Sir: The shooting season will be opened in another month,
and as a good dog is aB necessary to good shooting almost as
much asa good gun, I trust you will allow me to ask, through
your columns, which is tbe best dog for all-ronnd shooting
in this colony?

1890

Sfoe ^xzz&zx atwT JF y&vtsmKn.

The spaniel, retriever, pointer, 6etter, and even the fox-
terrier, all have champions, as they all have been Boot over,
and if sportsmen who have tried them will give their experi-
ences, it will assist those who have not yet got a dog to
decide which breed to go in for.

I am surprised that the English setter has not more admir-
ers in Victoria. He has the best record as a field dog in
America and in England, and if trained according to "Keu-
nelman's" instructions, he cannot be beaten in the field for
all-round work, from retrieving a duck to pointing a quail.
The English setter makes a capital water-dog, and cannot be
improved upon much as a companion. Yet, there are not, I
believe, 50 first-class English setters in Victoria. I cannot
understand why this is, unless the idea that they are head-
strong and hard to train frightens sportsmen from them. To
show how erroneous an impression of this sort is, I may
mention that I have an English setter pup, which at three
months old retrieves land and water, and goeB down to hand
and shot readily. I am, etc. English Settek.

North-eastern District, November 13th.

To the Editor of the Australasian —

Sir: "English Setter" inquires through your columns of
November 30tb, which is the bestdog for all-round shooting?
I presume he ia aware that a =6tter taught to retrieve will not
be first-class at either setting or retrieving, bnt will become
unsteady when in the Beld and flush hiB birds— (specially if
birds are at all wild. I should not advise "Eng'isU Setter"
to train a dog all-round, but obtain a good setter and a re-
triever; he will then have a dog, each adapted to its own par-
ticular business.

Your correspondent is altogether wrong in his ideas as to
the English setter being headstrong and hard to train. My
experience is that this class of dog cannot be beaten for nose
or steadiness in the field, and is not at all difficnlt lo break
in. I find the Gordon the most headstrong and bard to
break, and far too much inclined to range wide. A good
pointer comes next to the EDglish setter for steadiness— in
fact, too steady, or, I should say, slow, because if birds are
inclined to rnn, which they will very often do, the pointer is
not so qnick in following up as the English setter A Gor-
don mature a better all-round dog than the English, being
fonder oi the water, and with patience and carefnl training,
oan be made a useful dog; but a true sportsman HkeB to own
a dog well trained to its own legitimate business, and "Eog-
lish Setter" will find much more satisfaction in keeping a
setter and a retriever, instead of one imperfect^'all-ronnd
dog." I am, etc.,

Pointer.

To the Editor of the Australasian—

Sir- In answer to tbelet'er, signed "English 8etter," which
appeared in your iBsne of Saturday last, I beg to make a few
remarks on the subject of the heading of this epistle. The
best all-round sporting dog, in my opinion, is not to be found
in any of the dogs mentioned by -'Eogfeh Setter,' but in a
cross between the pointer and retriever. By this cross you
get a do» with a nose good enough for all purposes. He can
be made°to stand to game, either feather or fur. just as well
as setter or pointer; and as a retriever, either on lind or
water he is all that can be desired. Other points in his favor
are that he travels at a pace that enables his olfactory powers
to be used to the best advantage, and that, whilst the posses-
sor, as a rule, of plenty of courage, he is an easy dog to
break. He is also capable of great endurance.

Whilst conceding all these good points, it is only fair to
state that in the matter of carriage, be is cot to be compared
to either pointer or setter, nor is his attitude, whilst point-
ing so finely marked as the above. He also has a strong ten-
dency to hnnt low, and it requires some t'ouble to cure him
of this habit, if, indeed, it can be acomplisbed at all. I
have had both the English and Irish setter, aud have paid
some atten'ion to their education, but in neither ca«e was I
satisfied that, for all-round work, very great excellence could
be attained I have now a highly-bred Gordon setter and a
crossbred in hand, and intend to give th«m a good trial in
the field as soon as the close seaFon for qoail terminates; and
whichever dog shows the greatest superiority in nose (this
beiog the most important natural quality we look for), will
have the fact credited in his favor. Although I am partial
to the crossbred as an all-round performer, I do not expect,
nor do I intend it, that my praises in nis behalf will induce
shootists (the majority of whom are dog fanciers) to select
him in preference to a pure-bred dog of any breed. I take it
that most sportsmen like either a setter, pointer, spaniel, or
retriever If not, perhaps, the best all-round dogs, we Bnow
that they eacn have specialties which, ucder good tuition,
can be brought out to perfection, while in appearance they
have much to recommend them to either the shooter or non-
shooter. Besides, they can always be placed on the show-
bench when, if beaten, we can take consolation in the
"pastime" of condemning the judge or judges as incompe-
tent- or if good-natnred enough to take our gruel kindly
can 'hope fo? better "luck next time." With the crossbred
there is none of thiB, although in intelligence and sagacity he
"tftiidfi second to dod6«

"English Setter" laments the fact that the English Better
has bo lew admirers in the colony, and speaks of him as be-
ing a good all round dog. I am not prepared to deny this
latter assertion, any more than I would if he had mentioned
the Irish or Gordon, as I feel that the making of the dog ex-
cent in the matter of nose, dependswholly upon the breaker.
Whether the pointer is a better quail dog than a setter (in-
cluding the several breeds) is a point about which few of ub
in the colonies can speak with anthorlty. Before this can be
done we must have field trials, the institution of which I was
plea-ed to observe, has recently been advocated in yonr col-
umns. Oar esiimate of these breeds is arrived at in some-
thing after the following fashion: Jones, on a good scenting
dav, and probably favored with a good supply of birds and a
<1 -ar eye. kills (say) 10 brace over his pointer; while Jenkins,
who finds himself all abroad with his Purdey (caused 1 proba-
bly by au over-indigence in a whisky manufactured in^he
I-rte of Skye). and birds none toojplentifol
brace en a still day to his setter.

ge only five
Without considering any-

thing beyond the size of the bag, the pointer-fancier at one
concludes that he is the better-dog and that therefore, al
setters are inferior to pointers. From experience I am ^ not
prepared to speak with any weight on this question, although
I have repeatedly heard it argued that the pointer is superior
to the setter on qnail. In the old country of recent years the
setter invariably beats the pointer in the trails, and for my
own part I should prefer him (the setter) as a quail dog, pro-
vided he is properly broken. I must confess to having di-
gressed from the main question, but in a measure I did it
pnposely, in the hops that any future discussion on the sub-
ject of "The Best All-round 8porting Dog may be generalis-
ed after the fasbiin I have adopted; only, let us hope by
more competent authorities. Yonrs, etc,

BASE BALL.

The Opening: Game At Central Park— A Vic-
tory for the Brotherhood.

The first game of the California Players' League was con
tested last Sunday at Central Park, the protracted storm hav-
ing prevented the playing of the games previously sched-
uled. If the rain holds off some interesting contests may be
looked for during the nest two moDths.

Stockwell ha1* nigned with the Cleveland League team for
the season of 1890 at a salary of $2,400. Califoruiaus will
take quite an interest in tli9 "Spiders" now, for in addition
to Stockwell, Smalley and Veach will be in that club.

Judge O'Brien of New York has decided the injunction
suit of the New York Ball Club vs. John Al. Ward in favor of
the latter. This is virtually a victory for the BrotheihooH,
yet bets are freely offered that the new Player*' League will
never pitch a ball over the plate.

The wet weather has knocked the life out of base ball
matters on the Coast, and there has been absolutely nothing
to record in the shape of news. Even the managers have
been too disgusted to sloBb around after players, and but few
contracts have been signed.

The Stockton management lias raised the $2 000 necessary
for them to hold their franchise, and this week a certified
check for that amount was deposited wilh President Maoie.
ThiB settles Harris' chances of having a team in the Califor-
nia League during the comiDg season.

fienry Harris will take a team of professional ball players
to Oregon and "Washington nest May, and if practicable will
establish a league composed of the principal cities of the
northwest. The venture ought to be a success and the
Breedeb and Sportsman wishes the gentleman all the good
luck he deserves.

Hen Moore will again don a Stockton uniform this season
Fudger will play third, base for the Slough City's and Selta
has been signed to guard the initial. Truly, there is a good
foundation for a team of pennant winners.

Charlie Sweeney has attached his autograph to a 'Fiisco
contract. He will play first base. The home team is now
complete with the esception of a second baseman, aud a rat-
tling good team it is.

Power has got the Eastern fever in a violent form and it
looks as though "Smiling Tom" will not grace a California
diamond this season. For heaven's sake don't let him go;
we need him right here.

Another illustration of Johnny Mone's business capabili-
ties. For the sake of saving a few dollars he has refused tn
acceed to Jack Sheridan's terms, and the best umpirejthat
ever stepped behind a plate will go to the Brotherhood.
Well, ftlone can rattle his dollars for a while, but it's silver
to copper that he will find it dear economy before the season
is half over.

It is doubtful if Danny Long will play with Oakland this
season. Too many week day games interfere with his busi-
ness aud he piefers to devote his attention to law.

THE GUN.

Crossbred.

A good deal has been written and spoken in regard to
ruffed grouse. The Forest and Stream of January 2nd has
in its correspondence the following letter which gives one a
good idea of the weight of that picturesque bird:

Editor Forest and Stream:

I note in the issues for Deo. 12 and Dec. 19 what two cor-
respondents say in regard to the weight of ruffed grouse
I have probably weighed more grouse than any other man
living, it having been my practice for years to weigh all the
birds coming to my hand, and as I handled them largely for
several years I must have weighed a good many thousands
of them all told; and the result of my weighing is thia. The
average weight varies from year to year, according to circum
stance — food, weather, etc. It also varies in different local-
ities; for instance, birds shot in a territory covered with
beech trees, in a year when beechnuts are plenty, are always
heavy, while birds in an oak and chestnut territory always
run smaller. Then again, a large crop of blackberries
means an addition of at least 3oz. average over a year when
there are no berries.

The smallest average I ever took was of 20o2. This was
very unusual and happened eight or nine years ago. The
birds were very poor and were evidently ill fed. With the
exception of this one Beason the average has been pretty reg-
ular at 23oz., which corresponds with Dr. Morris's opinion,
until this year, when it was 24nz.

Now a word as to the big birds. Out of the tens of thou-
sands that I have weighed the heaviest bird weighed 29oz ,
while the same year I killed two or three that weighed 28oz.,
and altogether I have weighed probally five or six, not more
than that number, weighing 28oz., probablv twenty five
weighing 27oz.. 100 or probably more weighing 26nz., and
so on down. Now I have beard of these pheoomenaliy large
birds weighing 2Jlbs., 2Jlbs., and 2Jlbs, "as large as a hen,"
"as large as a turkey," "and even as large "as an old Tom
turkey." I bunch these stories all together and simply
"want to weigh the bird myself." At this moment there
comes to me tbe recollection of a story told me af a bird
killed in Litohrield, Conn. It ended something like this;
"And what do vou think that bird weighed? Well, sir, that
partridge weighed just 21bs. and J." Now the man was
drunk when he told the story, he was probably in the same
condition when he weighed the bird; and all that I believe
was, that it was a lie pure and simple. I do not wish Mr.
Obi to think that I discredit his story of the 2 1161bs grouse,
nor Dr. Morris's account of half a dozen 21bs. grouse, but I
look at it this way: There is a chance that the scales might
vary on that, possibly a mistake was made by the weigher.

The Kennel Department.

We have to apologize to our readers for not having a
full and complete report of the field trials, but the ken-
nel editor is at present confined to his bed, and it. was im-
possible to get tbe copy in time for this week's issue.
We trust that next week we will be able to make up for
the deficiency.

The Clash Continues.

The conflict of dates seems no nearer an end than
when the last number of tbe Breeder and Sportsman
was issued. No word has been received from San Jose,
and the Directors at Petalunia are determined to hold
to the week which they have taken for so many years.
It would seem that irrespective: of the selection of dates
by theTrottiog Horse Breeders Association, Fresno has
also resolved to claim the same dues they had last year
as the following letter shows:

Fresno, Cal.. Jan. 27, '90.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Dear Sir:— I see by
your piper tbat the Breeders Meeting comes after Stockton.
Would like to have you change to some other dates tor we
will have our meetiug the next week after Stockton, irre-
spective of any other association's claims on that week.
Yours respectfully, N. I. Baldwin, Seo'y.

Whether the Directors of the Breeders Association will
give way and take some other date remains to be seen.
However, at present, things are in a perfect muddle.

Sacramento Colt Stakes Association.

Once more the association, who has for a name the
caption of this article, appear before the public with an
exceptionally good list of colt stakes, entries for which
are solicited. Considerable interest has already been
manifested by tbose owning promising youngsters in the
section from which entries may be made, and it is confi-
dently believed that there will be a generous representa-
tion from all points north of Stockton.

News From Ventura.

The late storms have done a great deal of damage in Ven-
tura County. A great deal of the vineyard at Carmelos has
been destroyed by the Hoods of the Santa Clara river, and all
along the river baoks many acres of alfalfa have been carried
away. Farmers have not been able to plow, and the weeds
have grown so that cultivating the lands will be no easy mat-
ter. The many tine horses at Carmelos are doing well. A
yearling by Hockhocking thit IJlpicarea DelValle of Car-
melos bought last fall at auction in Los Angeles is growing
and he looks all over a runner.

The A. W. Richmond fillies and mares in Ventura County
are all finely gaited and promising, and they command a
good price for brood mares. L. J. Bose, Jr., has a string of
mares and geldings in his stables at Ventura worth looking
at and as fine as you can find in any stable. Mr. Bose is
jogging Richmond Jr , brown gelding by A. W. Richmond.
Last year as a four-year-old, he obtained a record of 2:22|,
which he trotted in the sixth heat of a race, which he won.
Richmond Jr. is so speedy and so gamey that he will make an-
other Jack. It is not saying too much that he will trot in
2:18 or better this year.

Richmond Jr. has a plain head, but pleasing to the eye,
and a remarkable feature of this speedy gelding is his prom-
inent eye, which betrays a keen intelligence, and added to
this he has a mild and kind disposition. His shoulders are
oblique and very muscular, and his loins denote much pow-
er, his hips are well elevated and his legs have plenty of bone
and without blemishes. Mr. Rose has also a brown gelding
not named, by A. W. Richmond, and a dead mate to Rich-
mond Jr. He is five years old, and although he has no rec-
ord, he haB sbown tbe ability to beat 2:30. He has a two*
year-old filly by Stamboul, dam by A. W. Richmond, second
dam by Rifleman, he by imp Glencoe. Mr. Rose said of this
filly: "ThiBone is tbe sweetest gaited one I have ever seen."
The famous Inez, 2:30, dam of Vesolia, 2-year-old record
2:29|, is also in Mr. Rose's barn and is in foal to Stamboul
— San Mateo Maid — by Whipplt'B Hambletonian, with foal to
Alcazar. The latter three will leave on the 25th of Febroary
nest for New York ia tbeii consignment of S-t head to be
sold by Peter Kellogg & Co . , March 6th and 7lh.

L. J. Rose, Jr., has also in his stable at Ventura a three-
year-old by A. W. Richmond, dam by Ben Wade, and a three
year old by Le Grande, dam by Arthurton.

Were I at the sale of Peter Kelljgg and Co. on March 6th
and 7th, I Bhould certainly want to purchase the two-year-
old filly by Stamboul, dam by A. W. Richmond. She is bred
just as I would want my mares to be bred. She has lots of
thoroughbred in her, and she is so evenly gaited that 6he
should be a great broodmare. A cole out of her by the fame us
Palo Alto would make a colt thit would endanger all rec-
ords of trotters. She is certainly a most handsome tilly, and
will command a fashionable figure.

The handsome brown mare Inez, by The Moor, is as hand-
some a broodmare as ever adorned any fashionable stock
farm. Just think, she has a record of 2:30, the dam of Veso-
lia, two-year-old record of 2:29^, and she is with foal by
Stamboul.

The farmers around Santa Paula have many fine horses,
and many young ones are being trained, as this snmmer will
be a most propitious one to the owners of trotters and run-
ners for tbe purses that will be given in Ventura City.
Hneneme, Ventura County, and Santa Barhara will be very
liberal When the rain gives up, and gen'le Spring dethrooeB
oH Winter, the tracks will be put in condition, ani all the
yoni'gsters will be put to work.

J. M. Kaiser, W. R. Willoughby, Chrisman Bon est el, L.
J. Rose, Jr , and others, are doing a great detd towards im-
proving the stock of horses in the county of Ventura. The
bnlf-mile truck of the little city can be ni ide a fast track if
properly worked. It wants to be widened, and tbe turns
well thrown up so that tbe horses trotting around them can
be well balanced.

They need stables on tbe track very much, and a high
fence along the seashore Bide to break the cold winds in the
afternoon. It is to be hoped that tbe people of Ventura will
offer inducements fur horses from tbe surrounding counties.
In the past tbey Lmve bai too many races opened restr cted to
horses of their county. Tbey have fast and promising horses
and they should be allowed to compete with outsiders. Let
Santa Barbarr, San Luis Obispo and Los Angeles have an
opportunity to compete next summer and fall. If they can
not win they will give you good sport, and your horses will
have a good opportunity to show their speed and endurance.
That county has bred and reared one good trotter and a very
fast running mare, and many new ones will come in for hon-
ors thi* year. This year will be a great season for records. It
is an even bet that Snnol will lower Maud S.'s reoord, and
one if the pacers, perhaps Roy Wilkes, will lower Johnstont»'d
record.

Questions and Answers.

F. B. I.

Have got a bay mare which has a split on her off fore foot.
My blacksmith eays the split can be united by the applica-
tion of a steel band. Please give me yonr opiDion.

Answer. — In aDswer to yonr inquiry with reference to your
mare, I beg to inform yon that a sleel band will not brirjR
about a reunion. The best tbing for yon to do is to cut the
Hssure down to the bottom, then blis-ter round the coronet,
and after a time turn out to pasture, and allow time for the
foot to grow down.

"W. Henry Jokes, M. E. 0. V. S.

J. H.

Two years ago the "big-jaw," so called, made its appear
ance among range cattle, a few solitary cases appearing
before. We have always thrown the animal (mostly two-
year-olds or over), cut the swelling and pressed out the bad
swelling matter. The animal appiremtly recovers, with sel-
dom a recurrence of the sweliiogs. SwelliDgs are always on
the head — generally back of the lower jaw-bone. Through
the country one sees a case here and there. Is this disease
actinomycosis? Is there any remedy to prevent its spread-
ing ? Siy an animal with it is cut, etc., to-day, aod — as far as
looks go — recovers, with the exception of a slight swelling
ronnd the scar; two years hence, is this animal as meat,
dangerous to handle?

AnBwer.— By your description, I do not consider the dis-
ease "actinomycosis." If you find any trace of contagion, I
would advise you to destroy the animals affected, and also
those that show any trace of the disease. It would be danger-
ous to haDdle the meat, and it would be unfit for human con-
sumption. If you get an opportunity to Bend up a specimen,!
would be able to give you more information on the subject.

Sh]loclc.

Editor Breeder axd Sportsmas:— There was an inquiry
in a late number of your paper in regard to the pedigree of
Bbylock, and so many others desire the same information I
will give what heresay evidence I have in the hope it may
lead to something more tangible.

Shylock was bied by the late Dr. Hugh Isom, then of
Bloomfield, Sonoma County, and later of Moro, San Luis
Obispo County, where Shylock made two or three seasons
about 1S73 or 1S74. The horse was afterwards taken to
Lemoore, Tnlare County.

He was a chestnut stallion sired by Boston Jr., dam vari-
ously given, generally as the dam of Orphan Boy, sometimes
as Kate by Medoc, again as by Imp. Lawyer. Dr. Isom was
prominently identified with the race horse interests of Sono-
ma County *in the sixties, and there should be no trouble in
tracing Shylock's pedigree through information obtained
among the old residents of that county.

Yours truly,

THE BEN HOLLIDAT MARE.

Can any of our readers furnish information about a bay
mare owned and driven by the late Ben Holliday, who is
Baid to have imported her. The mare was subsequently
owned by Benjamin Fish and was sold by him to S. C. Tal-
oott, of San Francisco. We wish, if possible, to trace the
mare to the person from whom Mr. Holliday bought her, and
ascertain her breeding. Anyone knowing the mare will con-
fer a fayor by writing, and although the information might
not be considered material by the writer, it might lead to the
knowledge of persons names who might, npon correspond-
ence, furnish valuable information. So please give the names
(and address if known) of all persons who might know the
mare or her breeding.

The rule as laid down for the measurement of a track is as
near correct as can possibly be given by Bimple figures.
There is probably no track in the world that is exactly one mile
in length, and if you had thought for an instant that faot
might have occurred to yon. The rale as given is the beat
that can be devised without going into fractions, and savef
hiring a surveyor,

Los Angeles. Jan. 29th.

The wet weather has interfered with the work of the Palo
Alto youngsters recently purchased by L. J. Eoje. I watched
a half dozen being pot through their lacings the other morn-
ing. The track was too heavy for fast work, so I did not
produce the chronometer borrowed for the occasion. Mr.
Rose tells me that lie will breed several ot the Utiles to Dr.
Boss' Australian stallion Cheviot- A trial will be made in a
few days, and the fillieB which show the least speed will be
B'inted. It is anticipated that the string to make the E. st-
ern journey will not contain more than a dozen horseB It
will Borpriss me if Bacine and Flambeau are not in the
string, notwithstanding that it was an oversight not to have
had the matter arranged so that these crack California young-
sierB could have measured strides with the Eastern article in
acme of the big stakes for thre^-year-olds.

Will Alcazar be sold outside of this State? That is the
question agitating the minds of several of the local breeders.
It is whispered around in horBe circles that Senator Stanford
has an eye on the son of Sultan and Minnehaha. Another
gentleman desirous of secaring Alcazar is Mr. Bachman, the
breeder of Electioneer.

There is a two-year-old filly at Santa Anita that is reported
to be very Bpeedy. I rather think it is Esperanza. The fol-
lowing is a foil list of those now in training at Sanla Anita:

The following above are all in training at Santa Anita ex-
cept Guadaloupe, who will be prepared in the East. I should
expect Sinaloa to develop into the beBt three-year-old, and it
is my opinion that Sinaloa will be the stable favorite for the
American Derby, but prognostications are a trifle premature
at this stage of the game.

Hollywood Farm-

The old race track is situated atont three miles from Val-
lejo od the Napa railroad, and being one of the few railroads
in the State which were open last week, a representative of
the Breeder and Sportsman was carefully put down within
four hundred yarc's of the track, which, with an additioDal
six hundred acres of laud, was porchased by B. C. Holly four
years ago. Mr. Holly or By Holly, e s he is generally known t
is one of the most noted trotting and men in America,

equally facile and adept at either game, holding the reins
over a trotter or training a runner.

Starting out years ago (torn in 43) as a smsll light weight
boy in a racing stable, by perseverance and careful attention
to business, combined with a still tongue and a level head,
the astute Easterner has, besides acquiring a little of this
world's gear, proved himself on either a running or trotiing
track able to hold his own with the best in the country
He drove his first race in 1859 at Kalamazco, Michigan. On
the day Flora Temple trotted in 2:19|, Holly drove ahorse
jn the four-year-old class, and among his opponents waB our
late visitor, Luke DuBoie, and since then his reputation has
increased, so that now no men can say he is his superior in
judgment and cool quiet style or in conditioning a horse.
Mr. Holly's ranch includes about 700 acres of good land well
inclosed and split up into suitable paddocks, while the race
track, which is a ver ygood one, is of a good width, so that
the outside may be uted for runners.

There are a hundred box-stalls, and a covered oblong drive
about a furlong will be in full use before next season; at
present only abont half of it is under cover.

Last year Mr. Holly Eold WcodDUt, 2:16J, fcr $20,COO, a
sale he has probably regretted ever since, although his place
is worthily filled by one of the highest bred horses money
could procure, viz., the brown stallion Mountain Boy, 4841,
bred by Charles Backman, Orange County, New York, foaled
1882, sire Kentucky Prince, dam Elise, by MepseDger Doroc;
grandam Green Mountain Maid by Harry Clay 45, 3rd dam
Shanghai Mary.

Mountain Boy lias no record, owing to bad usage, as a
youDgster, but he can show an exceptional turn of speed,
quarters in 35, being easily negotiated by him. His speed
lines are so well known that it is almost superfluous to ex-
plain that Elise is a sister to Elaine, 2:20, Prospero, 2:20, and
four others in the 2:30 list, while she is more than half sister
to Electioneer. Kentucky Prince is the sire of Guy, 2:10},
and a host of others. Election, a bay son of Electioneer, was
ihe next horse to face us, and a handsomer high class trotter
has never been see d; from his beautifully shaped head and
neck and good back, down to the ground no fault can be
found with him unless it were that he shows almost too much
quality, evidently brought about in part through Arnold
Harris, the sire of his great grandam. Election was purchased
a fortnight ago from Mr. Crocker, who bought him at Palo
Alto as a yearling. Election will make a season in the stud,
and then be taken through the circuit. A good looking,
short-legged, nicely topped bay, three year old, looking fit to
compete in any company, was brought out for inspection,
but his head gave him away at once, a true Sultan head, and
Kafir, as the colt is called, carried it well, as his lineage
would indicate. He is by Alcazar, 2 :20£, dam Flower Girl
by Arthurton, sire of Arab, 2:15; grandam Flora, double
team record 2:33, by General McClellan 144, sire of three in
the 2:30 list, great-grandam by Langford, he by "Williamson's
Belmont.

The next youngster was a beautifully turned chestnut,
uncommonly like his renowned sire; he was Woodside, sire
Woodnut, 2:161, dam Veronica by Aloona 730, grandam
Fontana by Almont 33, great-grandam Fannie Williams by
Alexander's Abdallah 15.

Mr. Holly should in time forget his loss of "Woodnut in

his handsome son. for he moves in the same free, easy style,
and is bound to trot fast. Mart Bourham is a useful looking
bay son of Sydney, 2:19£, first dam Towbead by Echo; he is
a full brother to St. Nicholas, John Rowen's colt, who
showed a mile in 2:27J at three years old.

The above mentioned will, with the exception of Woodside
whose book is full, take a few outside mares at a figure which
places them within reach of anyone. Mr. Holly also haB
Reveille the sire of Tycoon and Gladstone — the fast sprinter
taken east by Albert Cooper. Reveille is a big powerful gray
and evidently is a good producer, his stud fee is like the rest
of Mr. Holly's horses low enough to suit anyone.

There were three foals on the ranch, the oldest being the
bay colt Premature, who came on the 2Sth of December. He
is by Woodnut, dam Mollie McCarthy by Eugene Casseily;
his mother unfortunately died, but strange to say, a work-
mare who had a three months old colt, took him quite natur-
ally, and he is thriving well, except a wound caused by run-
nine into a foik.

The second colt is a fortnight old, by Woodnut, out of
Alice by Admiral, grandam by John Nelson. He is a fine
slashing chestnut, with plenty of quality, good, big knees
and hocki, and very 6tylish.

Economy, 2:30, by Echo, dam by Muldcon, has a yery neat
taking filly, only two days old, when she was seen, but as
active and sprightly as a kitten. She is entered in the
Breeder ajjd Sportsman Futurity Stakes, and her owner
says, has a mortgage on it.

San Diego, Allorita and J. R. were all on view looking
particularly well. As soon as the weather clears up they
will go to their Eastern home. Pink, 2:25, has wintered very
well, and will be put in trim for next season. Senator, 2:22,
was under saddle, leading colts as handily as could be, single-
footing in nice, easy style, looking himself as sound and
fresh as a two-year-old. A black two year-old stallion by
Alcona, out of Pansy by Cassius M. Clay Jr., was jogged on
the road ; he has a smooth way of going.

Mr. Holly also has two horses, the property of D. D.
Streeter, Esq., President Denver Driving Club. One is a
useful-looking gelding, and the other a rattling-bred three-
year-old stallion by Sentinel, dam by Startle, grandam Flora
Temple, 2:19£. Mr. Streeter sent them to get the benefit of
a California winter. Flora G,, 2:29^, a trim-looking brown
mare by Altoona8850, dam Susie by Patchen (Conway's) was
recently purchased by Mr. Holly, who will campaign her
this season, and probably breed her later on.

A whole host of yearlings were looked over, the most tak-
ing-looking being Hollywood 11778, by Woodnut, 2:I6£, dam
Aurelia by Albert W., 2:20, grandam Pacific Maid by Elmo,
next dam by David Hill, out of a General Taylor mare, whose
dam was by Williamson's Belmont. The colt is worthy of
his illustrious lineage, a brilliant bay, with splendid head
and neck, grand shoulders and good back, with good muscu-
lar thighs, big, clean hocks and knee?, good feet, and a grand,
free, easy, natural trotting action. No wonder his owner
refused a few months ago to be tempted, although offered
52,800 for him. Extravagant is a neatly turned daughter of
Woodnut and Economy, 2:30. Extravagant already has
almost a record, for Economy obtained her mark, 2:30, at
Santa Rosa Bix months before the filly was foaleJ. She is
entered in the Occident Stake of 1892, and should render a
good account of herself, for she haB her sire's resolute, fric-
tionless style of going. Several other Woodnuts were looked
over, all of whom showed so much quality and Btyle, that we
could understand how eorry Mr. Holly feels for parting with
the horse.

A whole host of rattling-bred, good-looking broodmares
were looked over, the first being a strong, neat, grey mare,
Jennie H. (sister to El MoDte, 2:29), by Echo 462, dam Light-
foot by Hubbard, grandam Brunette by Rifleman, out o
Fannie Frazier by Bertrand. She was bred to Mountain

Boy last season, and will be bred back to him. Lisette, a
good-looking daughter of Abdallah Wilke6 7562, and Musette,
by Startle, was bred to Mountain Boy.

Annie Almont is a black mare by Tilton Almont out of
Madam Nelson by John Nelson. Violette (in foal to Happy
Prince) a grey mare 6 years old by George M. Patchen Jr.,
out of Viola by Echo grand dam by Woodbine. Clara Belle
(in foal to Happy Prince) is by Alaska out of the Dooley filly
by Muldcon, grand dam by McCracken's Black Hawk, great
grand dam the Hedge mare.

Lady Patchen by George M. Patchen Jr. c'am by Nutwood
is iu foal to Happy Prince.

Hattie W 7 years old by Alaska out of Sallie Coward by
Mayboy grand dam Young Molly by Lodi; is in fcal to Hap*
py Prince.

Phyllis by imp Admirable, out of Daphne by Whipple's
Hambletonian out of Pbcebe Carey by Chieftain, nest dam by
Jim Crow. Phyllis had a filly last year by Wcodnut which
was sold for $1,000. She is in foal th s year to Mambrino
Eclipse. Ecoiomy 2:30 by Echo 462, out of Lady Berkey by
Muldoon, grandam by St. Clair. She obtained her record at
Santa Rcsa, two jears ago, in the fourth heat when heavy
in foal. She has shown several miles better than 2:25, and is
as sound as a bell; her produce have already been mentioned.
Aurelia or 'the twin filly' was one of the twins by Albert W.,
out of Pacific Maid. She showed tremendous pace in Gold-
smith's hands, but was not driven for a record, and evidently
will produce well for her yearling has been mentioned as
the best looking yearling on the ranch. She is in foal to
Happy Prince.

A bay mare by Victor, dam by Echo, is in foal to Redwood
2:24$. Belle by Gus 2:26$, dam by Mambrino Eolipse, is in
foal to Kafir. A good looking mare by Bedouin, dam by
Milton Medium wsb purchased from H. S. Hogoboom. Lou
Medium, the dam of Redwood 2:24L by Milton Medium was
bred to Mountain Boy by the owners and will probably be
bred back. She looked wonderfnlly well. A whole host of
other well bred mares were seen and then some of the thor-
oughbred brood mares were looked over, the first being Ni-
nena, who is heavy in foal to Sid. The daughter of Jim Brown
and Nanny Hubbard by Hubbard was a good race mare in
her cay, winning five races as a two-year-old in 1886 and
nine in 1SS7, and although rather lightish built should make
a good brood mare with the right cross. A useful looking
four-year-old chestnut mare is by Milner out of Mollie Ward
by imp Intruder out of Kate Ward by Lexington. She was
bred late last season to Kafir. Another four-year old chest-
nut mare (in foal to Tyrant) was by Joe Daniels out of Aman-
da L. by Shannon out of Eva Asuton by Ashland; Fusillades
Last was heavy in foal to Sid.

She was a fine race mare, winning six races at two and
three years old, and is exceptionally well bred, being by John
W. Norton {a Bonnie Scotland) out of Fusillade, by War
Dance, her dam by Planet. Old Fusillade was Mr. Holly's favor-
ite mare, winning over $7,000 in races for him, and eventu-
ally, when well in the lead, broke her leg. Mr. Holly had
her put in sling*, and she recovered. He got two foals from
her, but when Fusillade's Last was at her Bide the mother
was struck by lightning, and the pet was raised on the bot-
tle. IriBh Lass, by Kyrle Daly out of Daisy Miller by Re-
volver, won seven races as a two year old in 1S34, and seven
as a three year old in ISS 3. She was covered the day Wood-
nut left for his Eastern home, and was due to foal last Sun-
day. Why Not, by Three Cheers, out of Nellie Collier, a sis-
ter to the well known racehorse, Fred Collier, is a three year
old filly purchased by Mr. Holly from Mr. Hogoboom, who
bought her of her breeder, Mr. Winters. She, despite having
a hip down, won several good races, and should prove an
acquisition to the stud.

As the day was rapidly waning, we wended our way to the
railroad and were toon back in the city after, despite the
weather, a very pleasant visit to one of the handiest and best
brteding farms of the State.

A Race Track for tSan Francisco.

. ',Ba* Francisco, Feb, 5, 1890.
Editor Breeder and -gep>.TsMA>T — Dear Sir:— Knowing
the imp rrtance to the 'racing interests of California that a
good and convenient" ra.be track should be established in the
lnimediite vicinity of'San Francisco, I have ventnred to send
you my views upon the subject. First of all, it Bhould be
understood without the shadow of a doubt, that Buch a track
mu it be upon this side of the Bay. This is demonstrated by
the fact cbat when the Biood Horse Association held its meet-
ing et Oak'land, the takiDgsof the gate were far below the ex-
P°d&£3* while the meetings of the same association at the
Bay District track have for Beveral years past paid fairly.
The growth of the suburb of Richmond will soon absorb the
Bay District Track, and even if it did not, the nature of the
track causes it to be almoBt useless for winter work. It has
long been the boast of Californians that their State is the
best in the Union in which to winter race horses, whether
runners or trotters, becaose good exercising and training can
be had with but little interruption during the winter months.
For these reasons a site should be chosen for a track where
the nature of the soil, facilities for drainage, etc , insure the
quick drying of the earth. Under these circumstanoes I ven-
ture to think that there is no spot so well adapted for a race
track in this city and county as the site of the o!d Ocean
House traok. It has manifold advantages, as the climate is
always mild; there is little wind and fog, and the soil is a
ligh', sandy loam, easily drained, and can be kept in fine
condition at slight expense. The space formerly occupied
by the old traok is now surrounded by trees, some forty feet
high, making a great change in the climate for the better.
The old track has been rendered historical by the great races
held on it in early days, notably the contest between Norfolk
and Lodi, and the great four mile and repeat racs won by
Thad Stevens. Its superior facilities for winter work can be
easily proved by reference to many old drivers and trainers,
amoDg whom may ba named Hickok, Da Poyster, Albert
Cooper, Henry Welch, and many others. The old track is
already graded, and by carting a little sand on one quarter,
could be easily put in order, so that if this plan is adopted it
will save great expense, as the work required to level the old
track would be very inconsiderable as compared with the
work of gracing, top dressing, draining, etc., a new piece of
ground.

The most serious question in regard to the choice of the
old Ocean House track for the new track is the means of
getting there. At present the track can be reached by five
roads, viz., by Golden Gate Park to Ocean House road; Gold-
en Gate Park via Almshouse road to Ocean House road;
Mission road and by Industrial School to Ocean House road;
by Market St. Extension and 17th Street to Ocean House
road and by the Golden Gate Park and along the beach to
Ocean House road. It may, and no doubt will be said, that
while the means of reaching the track mentioned above would
prove sufficient for those who own or can afford to hire bug-
gies, yiBiting the traok would necassite a delightful drive; it
woald Dot meet with those who depend upon the street cars
to reach the race track. "While there is some truth in this
objection, it may be argued that the formation of a new traok
is not so much for the present as for the future. At present
visitors can easily, and at a small expense, be carried to and
from the track from the Industrial School station, and in a
very few years the means of reaching the track will be as
numerous, convenient and cheap as now enjoyed by the
Bay District

The Great Highway, as the grand boulevard along the
Ocean Beach from the Cliff House to the county line is called,
must be constructed soon. The improvements going on
south of the park and the demands of the public require
this.

To that splendid section of the city lying south of the park,
this highway is necessary as a bulkhead to prevent the sea
sand drifting inland, and the property owners in this local-
ity are now clamoriDg to have it boilt. The Park Commis
sioners are also in favor of it, and all that is wanted is a
proper appropriation for the purpose which should be granted
at the next session of the Legislature. Once let the Great
Highway be built, and it will become the favorite holiday re-
sort of all classes. The present Haight St. R. K. will be in-
sufficient to meat the wants of the public, and other roads
will be built south of the park. If 16th Street is not graded
through, 17th Street will be, and sooner or later a road will
run direct from the Miss on to park and ocean,

The building of the Great Highway and a railroad down I
or J Street woald wonderfully improve communications with
the track, but what would most benefit it would be the ex-
tension of Market S.reet, which would meet the track itself.
The fact that the grade of the street between Valencia and
Castro Streets is about to be equalized and the old reservoir
hill removed are BignB that Market street is to be carried fur-
ther West, and the matter is now receiving considerable at-
tention. It has not yet been decided whether the street Bhall
run over the Twin Peaks or round them, but that Market
Street will one day be continued to the ocean there can be
no doubt. The racing interests of this State are increasing
year by year, and would be fostered by the construction of a
good track near this city. Once let the track be built and
raceB of sufficient interest arranged, and there will be found
no difficulty in making the track; the demand for transpor-
tation facilities are sure to produce them.

Therefore, Mr. Editor, taking into consideration climate,
soil and location, I honestly believe that the best place for
the new track is upon the same ground as where Thad Stev-
ens and Norfolk obtained their great victories.

There are other places in the same neighborhood admirably
suited for a race track. The Spring Valley Water Company
own land upon the peninsula between the two lakes which
would do well for this purpose. ThiB land is close to the
Ocean House road, and bIbo to the proposed continuation of
thai road to Ocean View and Colma, which will make a sav-
ing of three miles. The land in question would be surrounded
by water on three sides. All that would be required would
be to fence it where it joins the land, and to plant trees round
it. The soil is the same as on the old track.

Another location, owned by Adolph Sutro most be men-
tioned It is a beautiful spot, sheltered by hills, covered by
treeB, and only half a mile from the San Jose railroad. A
switch line from Industrial School station running westerly,
would reach the track in this distance and at little expense.
Mr. Sutro has done so much to beautify and improve this
neighborhood by planting trees, etc, that there is little dou bt
that he would do all in his power to facilitate the huilding cf
a race track. The Boil iB the same as at the other plaoes
described, and a race track here would be sore to be popular
with horse-owners and trainers. It should be mentioned
that there is splendid winter grazing all through this neigh-
borhood, which would add to the attractions of a race track.

I have written to you at length upon this subject, because
I have noticed that all the newspaper articles pnblished on
the subject, ignore the neighborhood above described for the
purposes of a speed track. Such articles invariably hiDt at

locating such a track either across the bay or in San Mateo
County. I consider the distance of all such locations too far
from this oity for race-meetings to pay, and as before stated,
San Franciscans will not cross the bay to witness races. Any
point upon the Ocean House road would be snre to be popu-
lar with owners of horses, who are the main Bupporters of
racing, and livery-Btable keepers woold be greatly benefitted
thereby. Altogether, I believe the above described places to
be the best suited for a race track of any situated within an
easv distance of the city, and in this matter I have no doubt
that E. J. Baldwin, Budd Doble, Orrin Hickok, and all the
principal owners and trainers will agree with me. C. S.

Lynwood.

Among the many horses standing for public Bervics in
Stockton and the immediate vicinity, there is none of which
we have heard so muoh in the last few weeks as Lynwood; the
bay stallion has several timeB Bhown that he could readily
obtain a record low down in the twenties, and his breeding is
superexcellent. Sire Nutwood 2:18$, sire of Woodnut 2:16A,
Dawn 2:18J, Belmont Boy (pacer) 2:15, and thirty others in
the 2:30 list; dam Hattie Morrison, a well known road mare,
who trotted in 2:36£, by Ethan Allen Jr. (a son of old Ethan
Allen and a Hambletonian two-year-old mare), out of the
Grigsby mare, through whom he gets a thoroughbred cross.
Lynwood's colts all take after their sire, being racey, game,
trotting looking youngsters. One of them, Lynnette, won a
two year old race at Sacramento in easy style, and was bo
good later on in the season that "Worth Ober said she could
easily trot in 2:30, if necessary. Another of his colts is in;Oak-
land, the propertv of Judge Greene. The colt was seen last
Sunday, and if only Lynwood gets all his colts li&e the
Judge's, his fame will last, as the bay colt is as neatly
turned, and shapely looking as any one's, and has a real trot-
ting look all over. Lynwood will make the coming season at
Stockton at the low price of $50.

Norfolk.

There is a certain amount of fascination to all lovers of the
sports of the turf, in reading anything that appertains to the
old celebrities who have achieved honor on the track, and
certainly, to residents of California, the name of Norfolk will
be ever green, and reminiscences about the great unbeaten
horse are always in order, and it is a source of -satisfaction to-
me to add another good word for the horse that has tended
so much to bring the merits of California as a breeding State
before the world at large. His progeny have been of the best,
and the fame of El Bio Bey is only compassed by the bounds
of the earth. Yet even with the wonderful career of the
■great two-year-old so vividly before us, we are promised a
still gre iter wonder in his younger brother, who has shown
already some really marvelous performances. It is only a
few days ngo that I happened to cross the bay, and on the
boat met Dick Havey, who came out to California with the
unbeaten Norfolk shortly after his purchase by Mr. Winters.
As we were both going in the same direction, a great deal of
the time was spent in discussing old racing stories, and it
was only natural that Norfolk and his career should occupy
most of our conversation. Dick recalled the day when Nor-
folk started at the Abbey raoecourse, the day when he
stamped himself as the superior of any racehorsein theeoun-
try, winning in a common gallop from such a grand thor-
oughbred as Tipperary, in addition to a large field of horses.
Notwithstanding he ran away before the race and completed
a fall mile in 1:47, he was brought back and the judges al-
lowed the trainer five minutes to prepare him for the start*
"When the word was given he cnt out the work and again the
mile was compassed, in 1:46, Norfolk winning as he pleased.
After the race Mr. Winters looked him carefully over, as did
also Jim Eoff, who was with the party.

As will be remembered, there was a spirit of rivalry exist-
ing between C. H. Bryan and Theodore Winters. The for-
mer owned Lodi, and he had beaten a favorite mare of Mr.
Winters, an 1 the latter determined to go back East and buy
the best horse that money could procure, for he wanted to
get even with Mr. Bryan for past losses. It was with this
object in view that caused him to visit St. Louis, and as be*
fore stated, he examined Norfolk thoroughly when the race
was over. Mr. Alexander was aBked what he would take for
the colt and he answered $15,000. Mr. Winters agreed to
take him, and the gentleman were to meet next morning and
complete the sale. When the buyer and seller met 'next day
Mr. Alexander told Mr. Winters that he could not have the
horse, and gave as his reason the wager he had made that he
would sell a colt by Lexington for more money than he paid
for the old horse. Mr. "Winters then asked what would pur-
chase Norfolk. Mr. Alexander answered, "I will have to
nise you a dollar;" Eoff began laughing, and said he would
piy the extra do'lar, whereupon the money was paii and the
great horsb changed owners. He was entered in several races
ia the North, among others the first Darby ever instituted in
this country. The race was to take place at Paterson, N. J.f
but as Mr. "Winters had business in Washington the horse
was sent to New Jersey under the guidance of Mr. Eoff.
John Morrissey was then a prominent feature of the turf, and
it was not long before he and Eoff met, and discussed the prob-
ability of Norfolk winning. The outcome of the interview was
that Eoff bet the noted gambler $1,000 that Norfolk would
not start in the Derby. He also wagered him $3,000 that if
Norfolk started the colt would win. Before the race the two-
men again met and many more -thousands were bet. There
were thirteen starters in the race, and it is now historical
with what ease tbe son of Lexington and Novice won. Mor-
rissey's losses made him very much annoyed, and he manip-
ulated things so that Norfolk and Eoff were ruled off prior
to the second day's racing, in which Norfolk was entered in
a two mile and a quarter dash. As it is reasonable to sup-
pose, Eoff was "mad all over." He knew perfectly well
whose hand had managed one of the greatest wrong's ever
perpetrated on a race track. It was a diabolical outrage and
was so characterized by all lovers of fair play. Norfolk could
not possibly have lost, but it did not suit the schemers to al-
low him to starr. Morrissey and Eoff met, the former trying
to induce the latter to match Norfolk, but the interview only
re-ulted in talk and nothing came of it.

On July 13th Norfolk was shipped, therp being on the same
vesEel Messrs. WinterB, Eoff, Pickett, Barker, Marsh and Ha-
vey, he having been engaged to come lo Calif imia immedi-
ately on the conclusion of tbe Derby, he haviDg rode one of
the horses in that raoe. The voyage was a very tempestu-
ous one, and it was thought by many that they woold never
see land again. Thirty-one days were consumed on the trip,
Norfolk landing in good shape. What he accomplished after
his arrival in the State is too well known to need recapitula-
tion here. Mr. Winters was amply repaid for bis outlay, as
he accomplished what he desired, viz , to beat Lodi.

A Desirable Colt.

Ia another column will be f on ml an advertisement of an An
tevolo colt for sale. It will well repay any person in search
of a colt to look at Bex Volo. In appearance and disposi-
tion, he is all that the most fastidious could desire, in fact, a
more gentle colt is but seldom seen. His dam Catchup, by
Bustio, is a very speedy road mare, and her owner says can
now show better than a forty gait in the park. She won the
Petalnma Yearling Colt Stakes, but meeting with an accident
when two years old, was thrown out of training. Everything
considered, the price asked for Kex Volo is low. He can be

California Nutwood.

Cattle are prevented from taking Epizooty, Pink-eye, etc.,
by using Darbys Fluid.

The Natwood Stock Farm is beautifully situated one mile
from Irvington, with plenty of good, moderately-sized pad-
docks. The crack stallion on the ranch, California Nutwood,
is one anyone would be proud to owd. He is a dark chest-
nut, 16* hands high, weighs (when in condition) 1250 lbs.;
his action, like his appearance, is a counterpart of his sire's
free, easy, friotionltss movement, and when handled for
speed, there is no doubt he will add even more lustre to his
worthy father. Nutwood, 2:lSf, is the sire of "Woodnut,
2:16* (money cannot buy him now), and 27 other trotters in
the 2:30.1ist, also of Belmont Boy, 2:15, and four other pacers.
California Nutwood is out of Fanny Patohen by Geo. M.
Patchen Jr., eire of Wells Fargo, 2:18|, and a host of other
well known performers, and is groat grandsire of Yolo Maid,
the invincible pacer. California Nutwood will stand at the
extremely low figure of $40, and Bhould be invaluable
among some of our well-bred mares, having through Nut-
wood and Patchen some almost improvable strains of blood,
viz., Belmont on Clay, which should be stout, bard and
fast.

my readers who care about telegraphing a commission back
to buy any of those offered for sale, the catalogue is at their
service.

Baltimore reports are to the effect that Professor Ward
has at his infirmary a horse with a clearly defined caee of la
grippe. The symptoms of la grippe in a horse are Bimilar to
thoBe of human beings who have it, beginning with sneez-
ing. Then a high fever sets in. which is the forerunner of
pneumonia, anr* which sometimes ends fatally. During the
epidemic of influenza which swept over Europe in 1729 and
1730 horses were attacked with a disease having all the
symptoms of the human influenza.

La Grippe has played sad havoc with many of the horse-
men. J. L. Hinds has been confined to his residence for
several weeks, and Jimmy Hamilton has been exercising the
Irving Ayres string during Mr. Hinds' absence. L. M. Smith
who haB charge of the Du Bois Bros.' stable, has also been
conrJDed to his bed for two weeks, but is able to be up and
around once more. Mr. Valensin put in an appearance for
the first time in ten days during the early part of the week.

I had the pleasure of taking a look at P. J. Williams' beau-
tiful bay colt Sdver Bow a few days ago. and he is worth a
visit from any one. Perfect in every point, he is a grand in-
dividual, and is justly entitled to all the praise showered on
him by the owner. Mr. Williams inteudB to take the colt
through the Montana Circuit, after which he^will be brought
back to Stockton and participate in all the meetings which
take plaoe after that. Silver Bow will serve fifteen mares at
the Oakland track before he is prepared for the campaign.
The pedigree of Silver Bow can be found on another page.

The Los Angeles Herald last Sunday published a turf arti-
ole in which the Santa Anita policy in breeding is severlly cri-
ticized. Here is an extract: "The prevailing idea is that Mr.
BaMwin made a great mistake in not leaving this famous colt
and Volante at the East, where they could staod for larger fi-
gures than in California, and fill the Santa Anita stud with
an importation either from England or Australia. The latter
horses are preferable, as having better b-ines, generally speak-
ing, besides which they are matured in a dry climate and
not addicted to "roaring." Mr. Haggin has already led the
way by importing one stallion from Australia and another
from New Zealand, and the fact that out of six Sir Modred
colts tried last year four proved to be stake-winners, should
have set the millionaire of Santa Anita to studying which for-
eign cross would be most desirable to succeed the once fam-
oub Grinstead, now slowly waning into senility, with Ruth-
erford a downright failure."

I saw the original telegram sent by Ed. Bither to Mr. Val-
ensin in which the former accepted the terms offered by the
latter and it also stated that the contract had been for-
warded. Evidently Mr. Bither is of a changeable mind for
he has sent a second telegram to the Valensin Stock Farm in
which he abrogates his previous acceptance and now stat^a
that he oannot come. Mr. Valensin is much put out and he
had decided to send several horses to the New York
sale that would have been kept here for trotting purposes
on the next circuit. Kellogg & Co. have been telegraphed to
and in addition to the horses already catalogued, there will
also be sent, Fleet 2:24: full sister to LoDgworth 2:19, which
was eipected to beat 2:20 this year; Habibi, two year old has
shown quarters in 36 seconds. The stable will not have
any horses in training this season, and the colts engagements
will all be canceled. The consignment will start on the 18th
of this month and will be sold at public auction on March 7th
at the Americaulnstitute building, New York City.

The effect of the severe weather can plainly be seen at the
)akland track, the two bridges having been carried away by
he storms. The loss is considerable, but Mr. Hinohman will
lave them put in proper order at once, so that there will ba
10 interference with the horses in training. The Bay Dia-
, riot track is in much better condition than could be expect-
d under the oircumBtances, and the harrow was put on, a
reek ago yesterday.

There has been a meeting of delegates from all of the Mon-
tana Associations with the exception of Helena, which was not
represented. According to the programme laid out at the
meeting the season will begin in July at Missoula, where the
meeting will last six days. Another six-day meeting will im-
mediately follow at Deer Lodge. Next in order comes Anacon]
da with a ten days meeting, beginning on July 30. Last wi 1
be the Butte meeting, which will also continue for ten days
beginning August 14.

The purses will aggregate $56,00 or more. The sum of
$15,000 will be giveD in Anaconda and a like sum in Butte
The totals in MisBOula and Deer Lodge are not quite so large,
as the meetinga there are not quite so long. The programme

A jockey club has been inaugurated by the young men
visiting Santa Barbara and is called the Arlington Jockey
Club: The following are the officers: President, H. B: Dur-
yea; Secretary and Trea'urer, W. S Barnes; Board of Stew-
ards: H.B. Duryea, Chairman ex-officio; W. S.Barnes, Sec-
retary ex-officio, Bayard Thayer, C. E. Bigelow, P. H. Dur-
yea, B. H. Kissel, C. S. Fay. Among their rules and regula-
tions are the following, self explanatory: The object of the
club shall be: 1. To encourage racing and sports in
general in Santa Barbara. 2. To promote the racing of
native bred horses to the exclusion of thoroughbreds. 3. To
rent the track of the Santa Barbara Association for the pur-
pose of leveling and carrying on races, tournaments and auch
other sporting events as may be desirable. 4. All blooded
horses, except in special and in announced events, shall be
birred frsm contesting ia any races which may be held under
t le auspices of this club. 5. Any horse entering any race may
i e subjected to a handicap which shall be arbitrary and from
which there can be no appeal. 6. The club reserves the
right to reject any and all entries that may be made for any
event held under its auspices. 7. The club will conduct its
events subject to the rules of the Blood Horse Association of
California; but in special cases reserves the right to make its
own rulings, which shall be decisive and final. These meet-
ings will be very popular in Santa Barbara, as the officers
and members oi the Arlington Jockey Club are prominent,
fond of equine sports, and are auxiouB to amuse themselves
as well as the public. The races should be well contested
and the meetings should be pa'ronized. They purpose to
hold two meetings a week. Next Saturday will be their in-
augural meeting. The track will be in good condition and
the following programme will be run off; First event— The
Commercial Stakes open to all cold blooded horses: distance,
one quarter of a mile; purse $30, of which $25 to first horse
and S5 to second. Entrance fees $2 50. Weight 165 pounds.
Second event— Mexican Fancy riding. Sweepstakes of 50
cents each; $20 added, 80 per cent given to first, 20 per cent
to second. Third event— The Thayer Stakes, open to all
cold blooded horses; halt mile heats, best two in three; sweep-
Btakes of $3 each; $50 added by Btyard Thayer Esq. 70 per
cent given to the first horse, 20 per cent to second, and 10
per cent to third. Weight 165 poundB. Overweight allowed.
Winners of Commercial Stakes five pounds extra. The tecoud
event f honld prove a very interesting one. for there are many
very fine riders here who have horseB that are very well
trained. What the Spanish rideis can do on their well
trained horses is almost incredible. They ride with grace
and perform intrlcato maneuveringa with ease and confidence.
And some of the native bred bors-a bave shown an abilily to
run well and carry the weight that will be alioted to
them in the races. The officers of the jockey club are gentle-
men of experience and judGment. They realize I be impor-
tance of fair play in all races and th*y will be always on the
alert that all races should be conducted on the square. They
have betraved their acnteness and good judgment in their
selection of a starter. S. P. Stow, Eaq., of Santa Bar-
bara will 'be official starter for the season. Good starts
are assured" for Mr Stow's ability to start a lot of unprofes-
sional jockeys can not be questioned.

To purify tbeair in stables, use the best disinfectant known
— Darbys Floid.

Darbye Fluid cures Chnlera, Scours, RiDderpeBt Cattle Pla-
gue, Sbeep-rot, and foot aod mouth disease.

Knapsack McCarty 6ays: "Put Mocking Bird and Geneva S«
toge her, and they can beat tbe double team record."

D ive Gideon's French Park is said to be standing up excel-
lently through this trying weather. His legs appear to be all

two year old form was remarkably brilliant.

While here, Mr. Bonner made Senator Stanford an offer
for the now three-year-old filly by Woolsey (brother toSunol,

in the stud this year at tbe McGrathiana firm of Milton

rose, Woodland, and Strathmore. Favor ought to prove as
good a sire as any of them.

Steel Gray, probably the best trotter England ever pro-
duced, died the other day. She had a ten mile record of 26
min 56iseo. I recollect years ago seeing her at Manches-
ter, when crowds were round her box in the show grounds
all day. When out in the ring her action was almost the
perfection of pure trotting.

To name a thoroughbred after a Kentucky Senator appears
to be bad luck, as neither JoeBhvjkburn nor Jim Beok earned
any turf distinction. On the other hand, to be named for a
Governor of that commonwealth seems to be an earnest of
success, for both Luke Blackburn and Proctor Knott made
national reputations on the turf.

William E. Weeks, who not long ago went to France to
show the Frenchmen how to ride a trotting horse, writes that
he did not 6nd the French capital a very ioviting field for his

to return home. Weeks is a great favorite on the graDd cir-
cuit, and will be seen there again.

tion, are matched to a hair and'drive as one horse.

Dave Pulsifer's horses are at Westchester with Trainer
Donovan in charge. Tenny is the crack and pride of the lot,
and has tilled ont well, having great mnscalar development,
and is expected to turnout in better furm than last year if
that were possible. The black Onaway is in the pink of condi-
tion; he has tilled out into a grand looking horse, while the
rest of the stable look equally well.

out of 174; McLaughlin 21 out of 50.

C. J. Hamlin has offered to match Chimes against any son
of Beautiful Bells. Chimes showed up indifferently as a
three year old, on account of a qu^rte- crick; and was no'
trained at either four years or five years. He is being jogged
now on the roads about Buffalo, and is going perfectly
Chimes will be sent for a record Dext autumn, barring acci-

sets an example to toe wh Ie world.

The colors of the Dywei Brothers, August Belmont, and oth-
er owners oflarge racing stables who have not heretofore raced
at Clifton, will probably be seen in the Early Blossom Stakes,
for two-year-olds, at three furlongs, which is to be run Feb.
14, weather permitting. The entries will close Feb. 1. and
William Lakeland thinks he has a mortgage on it with one
of his California bred youngsters.

The young Earl of Dudley has already commenced realiz-
ing by selling the gallery of paintings collected by his father.
Among the most valuable in the collection was Turner's
•'Grand Canal Venice,*' which was said to be that great
master's chef d' oeuvre. Cornelius Vanderbilt has paid
£20,000 for the painting. The young Lord is evidently find-
ing racing or something else rather expensive.

W. B. Jennings, the well-known owner and trainer, will
relegate eighteen mares to his stock farm at Teesburg, Va.
Among them will probable be Swift, Telie Doe, Romp, Util-
ity, Biggonet, Yorkshire Lass and Temptation. The premier
stallion is imp. Superior by Petrarch, out of Thoughtless by
The Hermit, grandam Salamanca by Student, etc. Superior
is therefore half-brother to Senator Stanford's (imp.) Amalia.

Friends of the Western Turf Congress do not attatch any
importance to rhe withdrawal of the Louisiana Jockey Club,
or believe it indicates popular sentiment against the rule for-
bidding races for three-year-olds aDd upward less than a
mile. They say that, as a matter of fact, the club was prac-
tically out of the congress before the rule was passed, as it
had not paid its dues for the past year, and was not repre-
sented at the last meeting.

It is extremely probably that Hindoocraft will never face
the starter again. He hurt his right leg before his last race
at the Brooklyn track, when he ran third to Badge and Bron-
zomarte and that accounts for the poor showing he made.
Dr. Shepherd was called in and gave it as his opinion
that with a good winter's rest the horse would be as good as
ever He has had the rest, but the leg is not improved, and
he will very likely be retired.

J. C. Sibley of Franklin, Penn., is one of the converts to
the theory that an infusion of good thoroughbred blood in
good racing families will alone produce the very highest rate
of speed. So he has mated his stallion St. Bal, who is a son
of Electioneer and Beautiful Bells, to thoroughbred mares,
and has in their offspring a lot of youngsters who have as
much speed, at least, and are as level-headed as are the sons
and daughters of standard-bred mares.

"The English Hackney," says a well-known horseman who
has just returned from abroad, "is a grand little animal,
closely resembling the old-time Morgan. They are hardy and
plucky, making excellent long-distance roadsters when not
too high in their knee-action. They are ratbersmall, though,
for this country, being only from 14A to 15i hands, but no
doubt would breed some fine light" carriage-drivers, where
high action is a desideratum."

The Monmouth Park Racing Association has announced
its list of sweepstakes opened for the current year; Tbey
are 38 in number, two more than those opened at a corre-
sponding period last year. Twelve of the lot are for two
year olds, all at three-quarters of a mile; ten are for three
year olds, all at a distance over a mile, and the balance, for all
ages, mostly handicaps, at distances varying from a mile to
the cup, at a mile and a quarter.

Racing for big stakes is not to be confined entirely to the
United States, England and Australia. Italy steps into the
game with the Roman Grand Prize of £3,200 to the winner,
£480 to the second, £200 to the third and £120 to the fourth.
The race is for three-year-olds, to be run at the Rome spring
meeting in May. The meeting will be under a distinguished
directorate, which includes Prince John Baptibt Borghees,
Marquis Roccagiovine and Baron Miohael Lazzaroni.

The fiat has gone forth that the Homewood Driving Park,
Pittsburg, shall be no more. The property is now placed
upon the market, and before spring opens up it will probably
be staked off in "town lots." Although this race course has
had a short and checquered career, it has many associations
which will keep it fresh in the minds of horsemen. Here
Maud S. lowered her record from 2: 10J to 2:10£ on the 13th
of July, 1881. Booesetter, 2:19, dropped dead on this track
after a hard fought heat.

Edward Mcser the very gentlemanly and competent young
jockev who was under Father Bill Dily's tuition during the
past year has been secured by the Dwyer Brothers as their chief
light-weightjockey next season. He is a very bright boy, a son
of Mr. Moser,the Superintendent of J. H. Shults's stock farm
at Parkville and one of the most promising youngsters seen
in the saddle in late years. Aboveallheis thoroughly hon-

»est, and so Frank McCabe will find in him an able assistant in
trjing to place the Dwyer Brothers once more at the top of
liBi of winning stables. Moser is about nineteen years old,
and can easily ride at 100 pounds. He begins work with the
Dwyers April 1.

The Winter racing at New Orleans this year has been" of a
pecularly shady character, and as t r. suit of Abbas** pecu-
liar riding on Little Bess he has been ruled off the track.
Little Kay, the colored jockey, is at New Orleans, but is not
permitted to ride there, because he was ruled off at Louis-
ville la«t Fall. He is the jockey who, Mr. Scogg-n declares,
pulled Hindoocraft at Sneopshead Bay in the race won by
Bronzomarte. Ray l? a fairly clever joekey, but has tne rep-
utation of being "in" with a bad lot of speculators.

Among the many California trotters and pacers to be sold
in New York this spring will be Gold Leaf 2:11 J, Mr. Salis-
bury's crack Sidney pacer. A good deal of curiosity has been
evinced as to who will buy her. One wMl known Califor-
nian said in the Grand Hotel the other day that he would
make some of them pay high for her as he had never seen a
mare he would rather have for the road. She is easy to hau-
dle, with a smooth, quiet style of going, does not wear a boot
or weight, is level headed, and with her exceptional burst of
speed no one could pass her on the road.

Homer Saxe is one of our best known purchasers of cattle
and trotting stock. Of the latter he generally has a few on
hand for private use. Last week he was persuaded by the
Conkling Bros , Inyo County, to part with his well known
three year old stallion Mount Vernon Prince by Mount Ver-
non, 2:21, out of asister of Molly Drew by "Wintbrop, out of
Fanny Fern by Jack Hawkins. Tbe son of Mount Vernon
should give a good account of him? elf in Inyo, if breeding
and appearance are any criterion of a stallion.

It looks now as though Aubine and Geneva S would
practically have the big 2:20 parses at their mercy next sea-
bon, as they can sorely trot iu 2:17, and there eeemB to be no-
thing else in their class capable of beaticg them both being
game as well as fast. Geneva S., is still owned by "Knap"
McCarthy and will be trained next season. McCarthy thinks
a great deal of this mare, believing her to be good for a re-
cord of 2:15. or better, and this was well illustrated a short
time since when he refused a cash offer of 610,000 for her
from Mr. John Shepard of Boston. McCarthv Cdnnot train
the mare himself on account of his being trainer of the run-
ners belonging to Mr. D. D. Withers, he will let some friend
do this, but he will appear behind her on race days when
the purses are large, and handle tbe ribbons himself.

Last week a friend of tar ^il-tnown pnol sdl^r, Lowry,
who was Ira E. Bride's p-n-tLe lust 3 ear. has been ftaying
in Lexington. Be sa;s in th- Times Democrat tlet Lowry
cleare . no less tban §70,000 liat * ear, alto ugh be •c.-j-
mencedthe seasou with only $;s '00. His pr tits were prin
cipallv derived fr^m his ccmmissi.n-s, but ne als<- sti as
se\eral -'goMd t'.ings" during his remds. which p=ia Lim
hanuHnmely. He is now nt b:s home in Pittsburg, bnt will
be with Biide again thU y^ar. The roost snccessfnl met ting
he attended last season was that uf the Kentuckv Horse Breed-
ers' Association, when, during its five days' trotting, he sold
$500,000 worth *.f pools. Lowry is only thirtv years old,
and his career promises to be mlly as successful as that of
either Dr. Underwood, or the lat« lamented Rob Cathcart.

Fox has signed again this season to ride the horses in the
stable of the Richmond, Ky., turfman, Mr. W. R Letcher,
who, iu addition to Longalight, Kate Malone and Rosemont,
his well known tried performers, will have in his Btring some
well bred and promising two-year-olds. Although Fox's
name is omitted from Goodwin Bros.' list of winning jockeys,
he won quite a number of good races last season, his taking
of numerous long shot events at Washington Park, Chicago,
being one of the features there. He rides with good judg-
ment and is a fine finisher.

Pike Barnes and his valet, Horace Jackson, have left for
California, the famous lightweight having engaged to ride
for E. J. Baldwin this season at a salary of SS00O. Barnes
will appear at the Memphis, races where he will ride for E. S.
Gardner, who has the second call on his services. The Times
Democrat of the 26th ult. makes the above remarks. Evi-
dently the colored crack lightweight is getting the bighead.
There is an old Latin saying familiar to most people: Facilis
est decensus averni. Barnes might with advantage study it.
The end does not seem far distant.

As the dam of El Rio Rev, Emperor of Norfolk, The Czar,
Duchess of Norfolk, and a number of other less famous but
all good racers, Marian is beyond question the most famous
broodmare living, and is priceless so far as her owner is con-
cerned. And yet her sire, Malcolm, by Bonnie Scotland,
perished meanly in a cellar in Chicago not so very long
ago. Neglected and forgotten, the grandsire of El Rio Rey
on the maternal side was kept in this hole a long time before
death came to his relief. "With any chance he might have
been one of the famous sires of the age.

The Live Stock Record has the following:

Wanted. — I am commissioned to buy a horse that can run
half mile heats in fifty seconds or less on half mile track (not
an association track), not over six years, gelding preferred,
no blemishes, must be cheap. Address, Tom Wallace,

Shelbyville, Ky.

That above should suit plenty of our short-horsemen wbo
could Eell a few of that kind and would probably have a bet-
ter left if the purchaser wished to match him.

The other day, Mr. Ea tjraves, a well known gentleman
rider of Lexington, and Isaac Murphy, the noted colored
jockey, got into a dispute at the association track over two
colts, one owned by Graves and the other by Murphy. It
was finally agreed to run them a quarter of a mile although
the track was deep with mud. They each rode his own colt,
and the race was on at once. It was a close contest every
foot of the way, Graves winning in a desperate fight by a
short bead. Both riders were literally covered with mud,
and Murphy was deeply chagrint-d at being defeated by an
amateur rider, while, of course, Graves was correspondingly
elated. Murphy is not at all satisfied with the result of the
race, and when the tract gets good another match between
his colt and Graves' will pissi ly come off.

Among the horses that iabe a turn out South every day
thoae that frequent the roads recognize the Electioneer four-
year-old Electwood, with Charles Stiles holding the reins.
He is a smooth-going young horse, and will be out for the
money after his season. In conversation with his owner a
few days ago says the Horseman he told why he put some
money in tbe get of Electioneer. "A few > ears ago," he said,
'I bought three Sultan colts and sent them to Kentucky.
While they were eating their beads off Marvin came over
with a stable of Electioneers, Manzauita being in the party.
I played against her a couple of times, and when she came
back again the following year it looked to me as if Patron
could tnrow her down at St. Loms. You know the result,
Palo Alto also made it interesting for me when he defeated
C. F. Clay, Charley Hogan, Albert France, and Libby S. I
was advised lo take my money out, but could not believe
that a four-year-old could upset soch a field. Now I know
different, and have a horse I think pietty well of, by the
same sire."

One of the busiest men iu tuwii js Dr. Harry Carpenter.
Last Sunday, I glanced through his well appointed infirmary
on Golden Gate Avenue and was surprised to see how neatly
and carefully the stable had beea supplied with all the latest
appliances and surgical instruments, etc., nectesary in such
a commodious establishment- A well arranged operating
table is so made that with no trouble a horse can be safely
and securely laid on it without throwing the horse, or run-
ning any other risk while tne city ambulance wagon which
is in Dr Carpenter's care would insure no unnecessary
risks while bringing horses to his stable. Dr. Carpenter
last Sunday had in his stables several horses well known to
racegoers, viz., Bay Rose whose leg is so far improved that
he will be able to stand a season, Jim Daffy the chestnut
sprinter who has been artistically bred, Elwood uow used as
D*r. Harry Carpenter's hack, and (imp.) Cheviot {a brother to
Sir Modred) who has wintered there. Cheviot has since
gone to his stud duties at Sacramento, Bay R.se to Oakland,
and Jim Duffy to S^n Jose. Tbe Doctor says he never keeps
horses long, speedy cures procure quick payments.

The Waldo Racing Park, Kansas City, has been sold under
a deed of tru3t by William H. Lucas, trustee, to John I.
Blair for $11,000. The deed of trust was given to secure
notes given by David Waldo and others for money loaned.
At one time a fabulous sum was offered for this tract of land,
but the Waldos refused it, demanding $2,000 an acre for
the property, which is six miles southeast of Westfort. In
May, 1887, an option was given on this land for SI, 500, 000.
The' deal afterwards went through. John I. Blair has also
purchased the Kansas City, Mastin Park and Westfort Rail-
road, which leads to Waldo Park, at trustee's sale for $5,600.

Dr. George Beerman, of Berlin, and Mr. Tappan, an Amer-
ican trainer, who has been with H. Moessinger, of Frank-
fort on-the-Maiu, are in the States, intending to buy twenty
or thirty high stepping roadsters and ten trotters witb records
better thau 2:30 and one able to beat 2:20. Only stallions
and mares are wanted, as geldings have no chance for the
richest prizes. Fashionable pedigree is not appreciated in
Germany as in this country. Speed, staying qualities and
good behavior in the animal are all the foreigners are up to
yet Dr. Beerman offered $10,000 for Geneva S. bnt "Knap"
wants $15,000. This great mare is enjoying a let up, uu-
blanketed, under her owner's care at Red Bauk, N. J.

lbe Roslyn Heights farm did not take imported Bonnie
Charlie owing to his being unable to pass the Vet. Their
agent has however bought Regent who is on his way out now,
he is by Statesman (Young Melbourne dam by Orlando) out
of The Orphan by Newminister. He was bred by T. E. Walk-
er, Studley Castle Warwick, foaled 1S77 and under John
Dawson's handling he won 9 races out of 39 during bis six
seasons on the turf, he never started as a two year old being
a biggish overgrown colt. His pedigree is a particularly
good one having two Touchstone crosses through Orlando
and Newminster while his grand duni was a full sister to
Weathergage a Czarewich winner, and eventually runs back
to a Barb mare. Regent has been nsed as a hunting sire for
the last few seasons in Warwickshire and should be suitable
for that purpose as be is a powerful good looking bay borse
with black points wh le bis having stood training
for seven seasons is proof of his soundness. His pedigree
as I said is exceptionally good in fact for that reason he shoald
get more than hunters though he himself was never rrore
tban moderate second class.

The Hon. T. J. Megihben, President nf the Latonia Jockey
Club, died after only a fortnight's illness, and was buried last
week, his funeral at Cyn'hiana being attended by mo«t of
Kentucky's celebrated racing men. The late Mr. Megu bsn
was 59 years old. He waa one of Kentucky's wealthust
men and also one of tbe most popular. Some years ago ne
started his breeding farm near Cy ithiana, and purchased
Spriugbok as lord of the harem. He had a lot of good brood-
mares, and besides racing a few hor-us with bis brother
Jamee, sold yearliogs for large bgnres every year. Audrain,
who won the second Hindoo Stake at Latoi ta. now the
LatoDia Derby, was one of his best horses, but when at his
best, went blind and was retired.

Buenns Ay res is always buyiog high piiced horses, and
their local sales were said to be very heavy, yearlings being
exceptionally dear. One sale, which took place the latter
part of last year, gives some idea of tbe prices, but tbe final
lines spoil the high priced illusion. Tbe ammals were the
property of Mr. W. Kemmis, of Las Rosa*, province of S*nta
Fe, and mad; the highe.-t average yet obtained in that, or
perhaps any other country. Thirty-five lots were offered for
sale — twenty live colts and ten bliies. Tliey real zed the
enormous total of $305,000, or an average ot $3,731 . Nine
of the colts and two of the fillies were tuo. mghbrer's. the
remainder having in them three or four crosses of thorough-
bred blood. Balmoral, a pnre-brr-d colt by Phoenix, out of
Bl ><_>H Royal, topped the market with the mau-ntioent price
of $32,500. Mr. Boucu, who will be well lemem^ered in

Navicular Disease in Horses.

My attention having been drawn to a paragraph in the
Examiner with re'erence to the above disease, I deem it ad-
visable to make a few remarks to the readers of the Breeder
and Sportsman. The remarks of our contemporary are
likely to mislead the mijority of horse-owners. It is a well-
known fact, both to veterinary surgeoDs and horse-owners
and trainerB, that navicular disease does not occur in the
hind feet, hence the absurdity of dividing the nerve above
the hock. Any veterinarian knows perfectly well that the
division of the nerve above the hock coold not possibly affect
the foot, owing to various sources with which it is supplied
with nerve power.

Navicular disease may be produced by hereditary pre-dis-
position, and from the result of hard work over hard metalled
roads; also fr jm the result of b id shoeing.

The first indications of the disease are, a disinclination of
the animal to travel with his usual freedom; the feet become
hot, and the horse showB febrile symptoms. The lameness,
when it haB become apparent, shows itself more in going
down an incline or a hill. In the stable he will point one
foot then the other, endeavoring to take tbe weight off and so
relieve himself from pain.

It is very seldom ourabU by any external remedy. Should
the horse be a young one, it would be advisable to keep him
on soft ground, and by so doing avoid concussion. Having
tried for several years all sorts of remedial treatment, I have
come to the conclusion that "neurotomy" (the division of
the mata-oarpil nerve) is the best remedy.

The only risk after the operation, is that the foot below the
division of the nerves is devoid of all sensation, and that the
animil may be pricked by the smith and would not feel any
pain. Theprobable result will ba suppuration will supervene,
and in a few days the hoof will slough off. Many cases are
put down to navicular disease which do not exist- I would
advise all horse-owners before havme their hordes operated
upon, to have them examined by a duly qualified veterinary
surgeon, and not rely on the word of the charlatan, whose
name is'lagion. W. Henry Jones,

Dr. Stimpson's Veterinary Infirmary.

List Saturday, being in Oakland, I called at Dr. Stimp-
pou's Infirmary, 19:h St., Oakland, and luckily found the
doctor at home, and was courteously conducted through hiB
well appointed infirmary and stables. The infirmary was, of
oourae, fitted out with all tbe latest improvements and de-
vices suitable and necessary for medioal purposes. Dr. Stimp-
eon, who iB quite a trotting horseman, had in his stables
among other patients, Longworth, the well known Sidney
ptcer, who obtained a four-year-old record of 2:19 last year.
He has been fired on his fore legs and the job has been done
in Dr. Stimpson's best style, for though, of course, the traces
of the iron are plainly visible, the work has been very effec-
tively done and it is only a few days before be will be io
work again. Dr. Stimp-on is now the owner of Shamrock (a
black son of Bucciueer) who o )tained his record of 2:25 when
two year* old, aad with ordinary luck will assuredly go well
down in the "teens" whenever asked. His legs and feet aie
as sound and fresh as the day lie was foaled, while his
glos:y black coat indicates his good healthy con-
dition. He will serve a few mares at $100 and
judging from the extreme speed produced at
an early age by his sire, Buc*neer, and especially with the
Flaxtail cross bel >w it, the Doctor will be inundated with
mare*. Eleeto, another of Stimpson's horses, a beautifally
shaped three year oil Antevolo.having all t jeracy, thorough-
bred appearance of his sire, with just the same easy, pure
gait. Ou his dam's side Eleeto is by Capt. Webster, sire of
the dam of Adonis 2:14 Dr. Stimpson has wisely limited the
youngster to 15 mares at ©50. The la*t horse seen was a
powerfully built pure bay, with short blaok legs. He is one
of the most stylish Cleveland Bays ever seen in California.
He was imported from Yorkshire, the home of the Cleveland,
after a successful ctreerin the show ring at the Yorkshire
and other big shows (fairs) there. His color and sizs, com-
bined witb his brilliant Bhape and gentle disposition, should
mike him worth hiB weight in gold for getting g jod, honest,
gentle carriage horses. Dr. Stitnpson is bree iiug, among
other-*, two mares to his horse Shamrock, which should pro-
duce flyers, one of which is Jenny O Jones, record 3:30,
trotting; one-half mile running 5t Beconds. She is by Hub-
bard (a son of Plane*, sire of Dani3 Winuie) out of a Gen.
Taylor man, she out of a Belmont mare; and the other is by
Newland's Hambletonian, out of a LangforJ mare.

The Chicago Sale-

Chicago January, 15, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Among the many en-
tries received during the past week to the Kidd, Edmonson
and Morse great fine horse combination sale at Chicago,
March 17 to 23, is Judge Hayes 4429, by Eobert McGregor
2:171; dani Luna (record 2:39}) by Almont 33; 2nd dam Sallie
Tee by Alexander's Abdallab;3nd dam Kate Crockett (tbe dam
ofLula2:14$) by imp Hooton. Judge Hayes is owned by
Col. Crockett ofWaukegan, 111., and is a horse of remarkable
finisb and beauty. He haB never been trained, but undoubt-
edly has the ability or capaoity to trot very fast. His breed-
ing entitles him to rank as one of the best and moBt prepotent
bred horses in America. It is seldom bo fine an individual
and so stout a bred hotBe is offered to the puolic. In the
show ring he has the best record of any horse in Illinois.
Col. Crockett will also sell at the same time Flaxman 10148 by
Lexington Wilkes 4878 (recently bought by J. I. Case, Racine,
for $10,000); dam Sallie Tee by Alexunders' Abdallah, 15;
2nd dam Katie Crockett, dam of Lula 2:14£, by imp Hooton.

The sale now promisas to be very large, both of light har-
ness and draft horses. .Several large importers of draft
horses have expressed:their intention olmakingconsignments
to the sale, and this department as well as the trotting is en-
joying a boom. Yours truly,

Kidd, Edmonson & Morse.

A Daniel Come to Judgment.

Editor Brkeder and Sportsman — I clip the following
from the Mirror and Farmer:

"I fear," says a practical horseman, "some breeders will go
wrong nn this thoroughbred nonsense, and until Gov. Stan-
ford produces trotters from other stallions than Electioneer,
it will be better not to use thoroughbred blood. Piedmont,
2:18J, is better bred than Electioneer, but his success in this
line is cot assured. "

It will be of interest to breeders to learn that Piedmont is
a better bred horse tban E'ectioneer, but the funny part of it
is that the discovery has been made by a man who is down
on "thoroughbred foolishness." As Hambletonian sired one
and Almont the other, it won't require much argument to
show that on the Bide of his sire, at least, Electioneer will
not have to take a back seat. Now aB to their dams, thi*
genius, wbo is afraid of thoroughbred blood iu the trotter,
declires that Mag Ferguson, by Mambrino Chief, out of a
thorouijhbred mare, when bred to Almont, produced a better
bred foal thau was the bod of Hambletonian and Green
Mountain Maid. The m in who can swallow Mag Ferguson
and not ga? at the thoroughbred iu her, can come pretty
near to t iking Dame Wiunie for a trotter. Her dam being
entirely thoroughbred, and her sire a son of Mambrino Pay-
master, out of a common mare, it would be interesting to
know where the dam of Piedmont gets the blood that makes
her a better bred trolling mare than Green Mountain Miid.
As a fact, according to Wallace's Trotting Register, Mag
Ferguson was just 11-10 thoroughbred and 5 16 unknown.

To add to the absurdity of tbe "practical horseman's"
position, we sbonld note the fact that Piedmont's paternal
grandam. Kite Dirling, belongdd to tbe unknowns. To a
man up a tree, it would look as though the fact that Elec-
tioneer can got trotters from thoroughbreds, and Piedmont
can't, were due to some other ciuse tban Piedmont's supe-
rior breeding. Denver.

Pacific Coast Field Trials.

The seventh field meeting of the Pacific Coast Field Trial
Club held at Bakerstield, on January 20th, 21si, 22nd and
23rd was different in some respects from precedinggatheriogs
of the club. The generally prevalent influenza Had placed
several of the most prominent members of the club upon
their backs in bed. Others were not sufficiently recovered to
make it safe for them to attend. Still others, though present,
were yet suffering from the weakness and general bad feeling
which follows "la grippe." Many familiar faces were missed,
some of them being those of men who have always attended the
trials, and whose presence has been most enjoyable, Joe
and Henry Bassford could not be present. The former because
of the prevalent malady — the other because there are now
sis in his family instead of five. William Schreiber, most an-
xious to attend, did not dare set at defiance the orders of his
physician.

N. E. "White, in universal demand, was detained by death
in tbe family. W. W. Foote could not forsake important
interests in a case on trial. L. J. Kose Jr. was also kept
away by business interests. Sam Meriwether, living in far
away New York, was present only in spirit, and the list might
be greatly prolonged if it was not pleasanter to write of the
Bunshiuy side of the affair 'than of the glowering aspects. If
some rare ones were away, some of those who did attend par-
tially atoned for the absentees by an eshuberance of spirits
and hearty enjoyment of all the sport offered, that helped to
lift all their friends to a plane upon which enthusiasm was
possible.

That magnificent specimen of manly develoy meat. P. D.
Linville, was careering about on a fine black horse, giving
vent to screeches that could be heard for miles, ordering peo-
ple about in an imperious way that was superb, and general-
ly tilling the office of marshal iu incomparable style.
' Lots of new men were on hand, and it is no discredit to tbe
old timers to write that the new hands are keen as briars both
at shooting and with dogs. Porter Ashe, with all bis bon-
homie, pervaded two days. AuBtin B. Sperry could not
help being sardonic, even though his pointer puppy Count
Dick did make a brilliant race. Andrew Jackson forsook his
Napa soda heaven, and proved himself a rare pedestrian —
walking for Beveral days with that easy carriage and springy
stbp which indicates an accomplished tramper. F. B. Dexter,
from Fresno, smooth, pretty as a picture and shrewd as any-
body, amused himself in the daytime, and in the evening
sang "Annie Booney." J. W. Harper from Suisan, not the
shortest man in the company, had one eye out for points and
the others alert for cotton-tails, of which several were in
sight all the time. Harper hired out as driver to a reporter
for nothing in particular, and it is only his meed to write that
he is a crack driver as well a? splendid compiny.

Clarence A. Haight, after many years of tbreata, did actu-
ally attend the trials, and in future years will be in demand
both for his general jillity, and the dainty tenor voice. J.
M. Kilgirif, au fait in most Bports, is now an authority on
field trials. Kamon E Wilson, after repeated failures in
attempts to see a trial, at last can say that he knows what
they are. A. B. Truman insouciant as ever, kept up a hot
pace.

M. H. Drummond left Davisville to mourn while he
watched with keen eyes every movement of dog3 and judges.
John Hughe3 from Capay, not obtrusive, but as courteous as
possible, impressed himself upon all whom he met as a rare
good 'on. The list of new men is a long one, and of each it
may be written that he is a spjrtsman, a gentleman and the
best of company. Of such were C. Binnsse from New York,
J. S. Dunham from Stockton, Wm. Dormer and Horace Law-
rence from this city, Uncle Kobert Liddle, John Lakeman
from London, Eng., H. L. Love, L. J. Miller and W. E
Saunders from Fresno, Charles Studarus from Boutiers, P.
W. Trest from Davisville, and others. The judges, Messrs.
W. C. Nelson, D. M. Pyle and I. N. Aldrich, di I their best,
and it was a good attempt. Mr. Nelson showed himself the
keen, thoroughly posted, cool hand. He saw everything,
knew what it was worth, and was unreserved in his judg-
ments. His associates were quite as painstaking, and the
judgments, as a whole, met general approval.

Tbe field trialers wore accommodated by Mr: A. O. Thorns in
his newly finished and beautiful hotel, the Ingleside. Nice
room4*, scrupulously kept, a fine table, eveiy convenience
and the jolliest moat eDgaging of landlords make the Ingle-
side tbeideil hotel: As usual the rates were kept at a most
modera'e figure, as were the livery oharges by that quaintest
of characters, Mr. Dan A. Leonard, who has always provided
the borses and carriages for the club. Adjacent to friend
Thorns' Hotel, and c nimunicating with it by sundry elec-
tric wires, is the hall of the Students and Sportsman's Club,
a very haudsome, large, elegantly furnished apartment where
the gentlemen of Bakerstield meet in nightly vigils, and to
which all visitors were welcomed during trial week. There
by a huge brick fireBide. the stories were told, the triumphs
re-enacted, and unlimited numbers of Thorns' dainty rejuve-
nators absorbed.

Bakerstield is not yet rebuilt, and a few of the visitors had
perforce to cast themselves upon the hospitality of citizens.

It need not be said that the draft was honored, Mr. W. E.
Houghton sheltered several. Mr. Bichard Seymour resigned
his elegant rooms to tbe Maishal. Mrs. Webb was fortunate
in sheltering Clarence Haight and Mr. Broier, and so it
went.

The usual cordial welcome was extended by Mr. Houghton,
Mr. Henry Borgwardt, Messrs. Ed and Harry Lechner, Bich-
ard Seymour and Dan Miller, Dan Leonard, I. L. Miller, and
the other noblemen to whose good graces the club is indebted
for bo much, and whose hearty sympathy and kindly co-oper-
ation makes a visit to Bakerstield a time to be remembered.

On Tuesday evening of field-trial week, the Trials Club
held its annual meeting in the hall of the Students and
Sportsman's Club, and after the transaction of routine busi-
ness, the following officers were chosen for the current year:
J. G. Edwards, President; Austin B. Sperry, first vice-Presi-
dent; M. H. Drummond, 2d Vice-President; H. H. Briggs,
313 Bush Street, S. F.. Secretary; J. Kilgarif, Treasurer.
Executive Committee— C. N. Post, D. M. Pyle, J. S. Dun-
ham, J. M. Bassford and William Schrieber.

Tbe club decided to hold next year's field trials in Bdkers-
field, beginning on the third Monday of January, 1891, and
voted their thanks to the citizens of Bakerstield aud to the
members of the Student and Sportsman's Club for the courte-
ous treatment extended. The following new members were
elected: B. Porter Ashe of San Francisco, Andrew Jackson of
Napa, A. M. Wilder of Honolulu, J. M. Kilgarif of San Fran-
cibcg, Kobert Liddle of San Francisco, Austin B. Sperry of
Stockton, Charles W. Binsse of New York, Fred B. Dexter of
Fresno, and William Dormer of San Francisco.

Of the dogs which were tud, several are familiar to
readers. In the Derby the winner Salina showed herself a
rarely keen, quick, tasty and independent animal. Her
breaker was necessarily absent during her race, and Judge
Post, but slightly acquainted with the animal, was compelled
to handle her. She is a medium weight, nicely coated, pretty
bitch and fit for any Derby Company. Second went to
Sankey a pretty mover, free and merry and showing much
bird at- rise. Sankey had had most of his handling at the
hands of his owner Mr. Hughes, but as Geo. W. BasBford
owned bis field trial qualities he preferred to handle the dog,
nther to his disadvantage it was thought. The winner of
third, Stephanie, has not the rare caution and high tension of
Salina. but will doubtless develops ioto a cracker.

Of the non-winners, the choice was Mr. Auerbach's beau-
tiful Lissome — not yet at herself. Lissome is a pretty worker,
and with work on birds will make a fine hunting dog.

In the aged stake the average quality of performance was
high.

Snnlit, the winner, ran almost faultlessly, being positive
yet cautious, showing nice style, g^od pace in the open and
the rarest judgment when on birds. Her work in her two
latter hea's was unexceptionable in every respect, and would
have beaten ninety-nine good dogs in every hundrtd.

Second went to Patti Croxteth T., probably the best point-
er, bar Old Black Joe, that has run in California recently.
Patti works like an English setter, cuts her ground up sys-
tematically, in fine stjle, is fast, uniform in range and inde-
pendent, an animal to be proud of anywhere.

The surprise of the stake was Mr. A. B. Sperry's pointer
puppy Count Dick, fifteen months old. Uncertainty about
his sge prevented his entry to the Derby where he «hould
have run. Count Dick. despite his youth and the exceeding-
ly warm company in which he was placed, divided third
with credit. A few more months will give him courage and
independence. He now haB pretty much everything else he
needs.

Half of third went to Sirius, a grand dog, perfectly trained,
with fine nose, style, range and pace. In his first heat Sin-
us was perfect, but he then let down, went off in nose, be-
came rank and wholly unlike himself, and got all he
deserved. The two unplaced dogs did not meet expectations.
Nestc, as grand a mover as any dog, finely trained, in fine
condition, raced about like a winner, but was deficient in
nose. He should have pointed more birds — had fair oppor-
tunities and failed to do it. Dick Foote, upon whose showing
in training high hopes had been predicted, was careless: off
in nose and nothing like so fast us last year. It was hoped
that President J. G. Edwards would be present both because
he iB a splendid presiding officer and because he has a way
of keeping things moving wherever he is. The field trial
groundB were in splendid condition and birds were plenty
enough. The grounds have often been described, and are.
as Judge Nelson often remarked, "the best in America."

The first stake run was

THE DERBY — MONDAY, FIRST SERIES.

Sankey— Lissome — G. W. Basaford's pointer Sankey,
handled by owner, and E. H Auerbaoh's setter Lissome)
handled by M. D. Walter, were put down at 11.03 on Section
IS, not far from the Red House in a willow-lined sbugb.
After a little spin Sankey found a bevy, and was steady to
shot, Walter also Bhooting, and Lissome being steady. On a
back cast Lissome made two flushes acrosa what little wind
there was, and Sankey pointed one of the birds killed when
the bevy flushed, and to order retrieved. Lissome, a little
rank, flushed a pair and drew to a pretty point, was steady to
wing and gun. moved on and again pointed, Sankey a little
distance away, also finding a bird and pointing it. Both
dogs were growing wild. Soon on a salt grass ridge, Sankey
drew up on point; Lisa refused to back, ran iu and pointed
the same bird, but left the point and oast away. Sankey
remained steady, aid when Bassford killed, tbe dog was
staunch. Through the few remaining rninuteB of the heat,
Lissome scored two inexcusable flushes and two good points'
Sankey three points, a refusal to back and a chase. Sankey
had the paoe, range, better style, and more bird Bense. Up
at 12.25, Sank y winning.

Stephanie-Ben Harrison.— Stephanie, owned by tbe Cali-
f« rnia Kennels and handled by M. D. Walter; Ben Hairiscn
owned and handled bv Charles Stndaurs. Down at 1:20 after
lunch. Neither was up to a very high mark. Stephanie
was over-fautious, and had almost to be lifted along. Ben
Harrison hunted close to his handler, and did not seimto
hav i b first rate nose. A bevy soon flashed wild from scrub-
by willows, and on the trail Stephanie pointed a Bingle bird,
and then another, being steady to'wing both times. After a
long round without finding in low alkali grass, Ben Harrison
scored two pretty points and behaved nicely to wing and gun.
Stephanie then drew up on a single, Ben backing to order,
and both being steady to wiog. Sent along, Ben flushed
two birds, and at 2:30 tbe dogs were ordered up, Stephanie
winning The heat might well have been shortened.

Salina— "Rose,— Salina owned and handled bv Judge C.
N. Post and Itose handled by her owner, George W. Bassford)
were cast off at 2 50. The race was highly interesting, al-
though one sided. Salina instantly demonstrated herself to
be one of the pbenomenons of the year. Clean cut, spirited,
always looking for birds, a tasty "mover, although without
stern action, high headed and it must be admitted hard
headed. Silina showed herself almost a second Sweetheart.
Rose was a little rank, although a very handsome worker)

Birds were scarce, Salina being able to score bnt one good
point and being unsteady to wing, Rose made game once
but when the bird ran the little bitch broke in. Running
together in low grass several birds flashed wild by the dogs
and at 3:35 Salina was given the heat.

TUESDAY— SECOND SERIES. .

Sankey — Stephanie. — Stephanie was given her head by
her handler Walter and did excellently. She went squarely
up to two covey points and picked up three singles nicely.
Sankey w.is better handled than in his first heat, and nailed
6ve single birds handily. Sankey was better in pace, range
and Btyle, baton the score it was anybody's race, the judges
deciding in favor of Sankey after fifty minutes' work.

Salina a bye, being the odd dog in the order of running.
thibd series.

Sankey — Salina. — At '1:30, after a luncheon enlivened by
all the deviltry that Marshal Linville, Judge Nelson, and the
other small boys could think of, Sankey and Salina were cast
off to ran for tirst money. Both were brilliant, but reckless.
Salina cut out her work in splendid wide casts, and Btayed
out, after a long round pinning a siogle prettily, moved on
and nailed another, Sankey refuj-iug to back, running in and
pointing the same bird. Then Sankey pointed a single bird,
and Btood to game. Sent along, Sankey pointed uncertainly,
but was staunch when the bird was flushed. After a riotous
race down wind, during which a dozen birds flashed before
the dogs, the brace was taken up and Salina given the heat
at 1.53.

FOURTH SERIES.

Sankey — Rose. — At 2:13 after the rulable rest second mon-
ey was run off. Sankey being so clearly superior, aDd scor-
ing three Dice points in suoh snappy fashion as to win oat
of band. Rose did some nice backing in the heat. Tne brace
ran thirty two minutes when Sankey was given the race and
second money.

WEDNESDAY — FIFTH SERIES.

Stephanie— Rose.— At 10:30 a. m. on Wednesday third was
settled, Stephanie BhowiDg the caution, and not making er-
tors or beiog rank. In twenty rive minutes of pretty work,
Stephanie established a clear lead and waB given the heat and

ALL-AGE STAKE.

Sirius— Nestor. — Sirius handled by Wm. DeMott, and
Nestor by Geo. T. Allender. Sirica ran a faultless race,
although Nestor had the better pace and style. Nestor's
range, though wide at times, was Dot uniform, and when in
cover, he did not Blow down sufficiently to enable him to
keep his nose well ahead of him. Sirius soon pointed, and
then again, Nestor backing to order, and both being steady,
Sirins retrieving perfectly. Sent along in sedge where birds
were running about, Sirius did some grand work in trying
to head the birds, but could not stop them, and Nestor run-
ning in, Hashed several. Nestor then made a swing alnng
the edge of the sedge, and pointed Dicely. Ordered on, NeB-
tor again drew to point, moved on when the bird ran, and
finallv located it and stood to wing. Sirius, meanwhile, was
working out a lot of cover, bnt could find no birds. At 11.40
Sirius was given the heat. Few dogs could have beaten his
work.

Patt^Croxteth T, — Sunlit. — The race was the sensation
of the trials. Patti was handled by Allender and Sunlit by
Post, both men were keen to win, and soon saw there was
little chdice between the dogs. The handlers lost their tem-
pers, cross-tired at one another, the judges and everybody
else. The heat really began at 1:24 after lunch, although the
dogs ran twenty minutes before lunch, in nice cover, where
scattered birds were plenty, and such a rattling succession of
points has rarely been seen. Sunlit was marvellous in her
certainty and judgment, two points in which she had the
better of Patti. The work was so lively that no detailed re-
port of each point could be kept. Sunlit found a bevy and
rolled up eleven points on singles. Patti scored eleven good
points on singles. Sunlit backed honestly; Patti at times
had to be steadied on back by her handler. Sunlit made a
slow, bad find on a dead bird. Patti's handler refused to kill
a bird, and the bitch was ordered to retrieve a bird killed by
Post, which she did indifferently. Both were quick and
snappy among birds. The race was a close thing. At 2
o'olock, after one hour and forty minutes of actual running,
Sunlit was Given the heat.

Dick Foote — Count Dick. — Dick Foote handled by De
Mott and Count Dick by Walter were cast off at 2:20. Dick
Foote was heedless, rank, careless in cover, off in Dose and
not worth a cent in the early part ot the heat. Count Dick
moved about tastily, but was purplish and laoked judgment;
After twenty minutes of flushing by Dick Foote, a false
point and a refusal to back, during which time Count Diok
CJ9kfl4 up throe pjne poiptH ftQd, glowed, steadier to w>ug and.

dogs were oast off Lit had the foot of the race, and brave
old Si was compelled to do more backing than he is accus-
tomed to Sinus is a perfectly honfst dog, honors a back

scored a covey point, and then scored eight singles aud a
pretty retrieve. Sirins was credited with five good single

Sunlit-Count DiCK.-Count Dick was like the historic
character who fell out of the balloon, he "wasn't in it " Sun-
lit had her mind with her, worked smartlv and wilh perfect
judgment, and won hands down. Count Dick made a nevv
stand, bnt the only way he could catch Sunlit was to go the
other way. Down at 12 and up at 12.14, with Sunlit a winner.

FOURTH SERIES.

Count Dick-Patti Croxteth T._ After a side treat to
select a dog to run with Count Diok for second in which
Patti Croxteth T. beat Sirius, Patti and Count Diok were
sent off for second.

Patti was all herself, worked as daintily and with as much
dash as a dog cculd and although Count Dick held ( n bravely
for an hour and a half, he could not level the scores and
Patli wes given the heat and second money,

FIFTH SERIES .

Count Dick— Sirius.— The last race for third between
Count Dick and Sirius was run for fifty minutes and then
suspended. The dogs were about even, Count Dick perhaps
having a shade the best of it. In the evening the judges
placed the dogs equal third and the trials ended.

Sunlit Forever!

Hurrah! for little Sunlit. To be Sit-ins! She is the dog
star. I am Pcstod if I am no judge! Last year at Bakersfield
I looked on Sunlit as the greatest natural hunter on, trial,
but Black Joe was a born pointer — a diamond of the first
■water. Allender, that prince of trainers, had him fit to run
for a king's ransom. The bitch Sunlit lacked the bird sense.
If told last year to look in likely plaoes for birds to range,
no barren plains he would cover with his eyes, his educated
brain taught him to use his nose except in cover. He did not
range away from, but to cover. On a point was as staunch
as iron.

All that Sunlit wanted then, I could see, was experience,
the great and sometimes cruel master. Last year "Lit", as
the jovial judge calls his treasure, was not steadfast in a
point, but would leave her point, no doubt to relocate the
moving bird, which to my mind is the acme of dog senpe.
Some dogs hunt for themselves, others for their masters.
Those dogs who keep track of the game command the situa-
tion,

I am glad the rain did not dampen that ardor of men and
dogs. In front of my roaring fire, I longed to see you all
and grasp you by the hands; all hands afield grow young
again, and discuss the merits of dogs, horses and men, and
feel that touch of Dame Nature's hand which makes the
whole world akin.

For precocity, as a rule (not to role), give me a fair repre-
sentative of the sex. Sunol holds the trotliDg scepter amoDg
horseB, Sunlit holds it among dogs. Hurrah! for Sanlit!
May many sons and daughters light up "our friend, "the
judges hoose and hearth, as did in bygone dt*ys, Sweet-
hearts! P. J. Shafter.

Trouble Bruin.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Cougar, wild cats and
"bar" are unusually plentiful in Whatcom County, Or this
fall. Old Bruin has retired now for his winter's snooze. Next
spriDg he will be "mosyin erreound," gaunt and hungry in
goodly numbers, and will afford the sportsmen some great
"wing shooting." One or more bears are holed up near by and
Sililicom and Jay will be after tbem to-morrow morning. Will
send the Bseeder and Sportsman an account. Over a dozen
congars have been seen and killed In this vicinity within the
last month. They are hunting the deer incessantly (the con-
gars are), makiDg our always wild and cunning black tail
deer, if possible, even more cunning.

We have only a few more days open for deer. A number
of wild cats and bears have been killed this fall. Hope to
send you a description of some of our cougar and other bi j
game hunts soon.

Jay See En.

The Selby Smelting and Lead Company is sending out its
price lists of Standard shotgun cartridgeo for 1890. The list
covers about all peculiarities in loading that are Lkely to be
met, and throughout all the variations one invariable rule is
met, namely, that the utmost accuracy shall prevail. For
evenness, excellence, convenience and cheapness the Stand-
ards have no equals.

Says the Redwood Times-Gazette, "Uncle Nate ComBtock
has two deer to his credit already this yenr."

Our exchange sbonld use its most virulent language in
characterizing Comstock's departure from right doiDg° He
has no right to kill deer until July 1st.

Information comes from Jackson, Amador County, that
irresponsible men are slaughtering the deer driven down by
the snow in numbers. One hundred and sixty does are said
to have been killed within a few miles of West Point bridge
in two weeks, tbe carcasses being left to rot. If the District
Attorney and ofncfrs of Amador are so incompetent or so
careless as to overlook flagrant violations of the game laws,
why do not some of the sterling citizens, of who so many are
to be found in that favored section, take tde Uv iuto their
own hands, aDd penalize a few of the deer killers in such
manner as is likely to suggest itself to a body of indignant
citizens.

n

SOMMABY.

At last the storm is at an end, bnt the time between now
and Washington's Birthday is too short to allow the roniiew
and walkers to get in good condit.on. The Athletic bom-
mittee of the Olymmo Club very wisely postponed the open-
ing of the new grounds until soon time as everything will be
in tin-top co edition for the grand initial tournament. J he
Alnine Club however, will hold its first ouMoor meeting on
Sunday February 16th, as the track at Harbor View, owing
?o?s being protected by the trees, suffered but little from the
effects of the heavy rains. The wheelmen and oarsmen have
started in to practice, and in less than a month out door
ablettswillbe iufuil blast once more The postponed
"Ladies' Night" of the Olympic Club, which will be celebrated
next week, is attracting unusual interest.

BtTSNEKS, WALKEBS, JUMPERS, ETC.

William Zehfuss, the amateur walker, has developed into
a first-class boxer. .

The postponed cross-country run of the Olympic Club, will
take place at Milbrae to-morrow The athletes who intend
taking part in the run are requested to take the 10.30 A. M
Sain «t T Fourth and Townseud Streets. A splendid lunch
will be orovided by the club.

Fair's' Athletic Park at Alameda will shortly be divided up
into building lots. The grounds haye been unoccupied for
some time p.st, owing to the new law which requires al
nersons giving exhibitions to take out a yearly license of
$500 The owner is willing to rent the grounds very cheap,
and it is a great pity that some of the flourishing Athletic
clubs acrosi the bay do not jump at the chance and lease the
place. By being properly managed, the park is bound to pay,
as there is every prospect of a boom in amateur athletics
during the coming season.

President M. C. Giry, of the Alpine AmateurAtblellc Club,
has jnst recovered from an attack of la grippe.

The five-mile handicap run, which will take place in the
gymnasium of the Oljnipie Club on Thursday evening Feb-
ruary "7th, promises to attract a large field of competitors.
Onh members of the club will be allowed to enter Three
valuable medals will be awarded. Scott and McArthur will
probably not enter, which fact will cause Cooley to be placed
of scratch.

It is rnmored that the championship games will not come
off nntil July 4th, as the Olympic Clab intends opening its
new grounds on Decoration Day.

Durlne the coming season the O. C. will probably hold a
complimentary members oat-door meeting once a month.

Several runners and walkers practice daily at the Bay Dis-
trict track.

after this month tb<* Alpine Clnb will add a couple of open
events to its .egular monthly programme.

Ther»ia at present residing m the city a yonng Irish
am mr wUe who is credited with having thrown the
16 i ..nod" hammer a distam ■ of 110 feet. He will possibly
represent oiid of the clnbs at the nest open oot-door meeting.

A verv large number nf entries have been reeled for the
Alwne games, which wi'l cooic off at Harbor View Park on
Sunday F bruary 16th, commencing at 1 p. m. The list
will clo=e al the club rooms, Mnrpby Building, at 10 o clock
this evening. Next week we will present the full liBt, with
the handicaps attached-

A Cooke the champion heel and toe walker, of the Los
Angela Athletic Club, has applied for admission to the Al-
pine Club.

Espinosa will enter the rive mile run at the Olympic Club
on the 27th inst. He has been practicing hard for some
weeks past and should make things warm for Cooley.

In the half and one mile runs at the coming AlpiDe games
eood time will most nnquestionablvb made CasBidy, Little,
Moody, Garrison, Larkey,Tauk and Eldndge will be amongst
the starters.

For the half mile novice walk there are a dozen entries and
the judge will need to keep his eyes open.

An individual all round championship meeting will prob-
ably be held nnderthe auspices of the P. C A. A. A. dnrmg
the coming season. ...

The cinder path at Berkeley is getting into good shape
again and the students will soon be able to resume out-door

PTIn a few weeks the members of the Alpine Club will hold
their fir^t crosB country run from the athletio grounds at
Harbor View across the Presidio to the Cliff House and re-
turn. Members of other clnbs will be invited to join in the

TUFrank O'Kane, of the OC, indulges in an occasional spin
and he Bhould certainly win a medal at the nest open meet-
Dave E°an informs ns that he may appear on the cinder
path again. He is thinking about joining the Olympic Club.

John W. Flynn thinks of entering the sprint events at the
championship games.

It is thought that Lucas, the old time amateur, will make
his appearance again this year. Many are of the opinion that
he would beat Furcell in an all round contest.

The interest in amateur athletics is evidentlv increasing
ani before the close of 1 890, many of the Pacific CoaBt records
will have fallen by the wav side.

J W Genghan and V. Hancock, two well known local ath-
letes are at present giving exhibitions of boxing, club swing-
ing and wrestling up north. Thev are under engagement to
fip«oar at Beveral theatres in Oregon and Washington Terri-
tory*

Th9 following is the definition of novice according to the
rules of the Amateur Athletic Onion:

A "novice" is one who has never won a prize in any ath-
letic competition open to the members of two or more clubs,
and hi* status shall be determined by his record when the
entries for such event closed.

According to this ruling Beveral amateurs who have here-
tofore been barred out of "novice" races will in future be
eligible to compete.

Several of the leading Eastern sporting journals at the
present time are presenting their readers with full lists of
American and English athletic records. The Turf. Field and
Farm and The Spirit of the Times have been devoting con-
siderable space to this kind of matter for some weeks past.

Professors Watson, Zellner and Johansen have been en-
gaged by the Occidental Club to instruct the members in box-
ing, wreBtling and gymnastics. The class nights will be
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

It is to be hoped that Professor Corbett will not be too
hasty in arranging matches with some of the EaBtern crack
fighters. Mr. Corbett is still a very yonng man, and although
he is possessed of considerable science and grit, he Bhould
not be too ambitious in the start. His friends regret that he
ever went into the fighting business, for a pugilist is certain-
ly an enemv to society. When Jim Corbett was engaged as
boxing instructor to the Olympic Club, his social Btanding
was never questioned, but now that he has aetnalry de-
scended to the level of a prize fighter it can hardly be ex-
pected that he will be received with the same eclat among
his former society friendB. Mr. Corbett is far above the call-
ing of a common fighter, and we earnestly hope that his ca-
reer as a pugilist will not be of long duration. There is still
a chance for him to return to his more honorable profession.

A good many of our local athletes are unaware of the fact
that a good rubbing down after exercising is just as benefi-
cial as the exercise itself When a man rushes into a dress-
ing room sweating and out of breath he Rhonld always, if
possible, have a friend to rub him down. No man, no matter
how experienced he may be, can get into first class condition
withont the aid of a rubber.

IN THE SUBF.

Albert Sundstrom, the champion all distance swimmer of
America, died at the German Hospital on Satarday last of
typhoid pneumonia, brought on by a cold contracted while
giving exhibitions in the surf at the Cliff House. He has
been residing on the coast about two years, during which
time Pinckham, the ex-Pacific Coast champion, met with de-
feat at hie hands on more than one occasion. Sundstrom was
born in New York and was twenty-six years old at the time
of his death

It is Bafe to predict that an active interest will bi taken in
swimming during the coming year. The Terrace Clnb was
re-organized a couple of months ago and the present mem-
bers are determined to make a good showing while the sea-
son lasts. There are quite a number of excellent swimmers
connected with the Lurline and Alpine Clubs, and as both
organizations have their own bathing quarters, manv excit-
ing contests will doubtless be witnessed during the Buinmer
monthB. The three clubs will no doubt join hands and give
exhibitions at intervals during the season.

AT THE OARS.

Henry Peterson, the champion oarsman of California, has
commenced training aud is seriously thinking about going to
Australia in company with William O'Connor.

The newspaper war between Hanlan and O'Connor will
most likely bring abont a match between the two men at the
Alameda Mole course before O'Connor sails for Australia.

Charley Long, the single sculler of the Pioneer Club, has
had his shell repaired in anticipation of a match being ar-
ranged between himself and Henry flenceman of Stockton.

The Comyns Amateur four have commenced to take regular
exercise in order to prepare themselves thoroughly for the
coming regatta of the Pacific Bowing Association.

The Lurlines certainly deserve credit for their push and
ambition. Even while the storm was atits heighest the young
Lurliie members were busy making preparations foT coming
events. Their first annual regatta will come off on Richard-
son's Bay duiiDg the month of May.

The Columbia Club of Oakland will enter an amateur
barge four at the regatta this summer, and the knowing ones
ss\ that the crew will stand an excellent chance of carrying
the champ'onship to Oakland.

Since the split up in *he crew repre"enting the Ariel Club
it is very hard to get a crew together who will train as faith-
fully as Snitkoff, Phelan, Coffy and Hanraham of last sea-
son's crew.

The Pacific Kowing Association wil> hold a monster regat-
ta and picnic at the grounds of the Alpine Club at Harbor
View doring the coming summer. The matter will come be-
fore the regatta committee next week.

The Alameda Boat Club was organized on Tuesday evening
last. The course will be located on the estuary, with head-
quarters at the foot of Chestnut St.

Oarsmen Henry Tank is training for the Bprint runs of the
Alpine Amateur Athletic Club. He is in splendid condition
and recently ran 100 yards inside of 1 1 sf conds.

I. I. Larkey of the Ariel Club is also a good runner and
will oppose Tank on February 16th.

THE WHEELMEN.

Affairs in the wheeling world at the present time are very
quiet. The boys are just beginning to realize that the rain
has actually Btopped, and are making preparations to wipe
the rust off their wheels.

The local riders will make an effort to secure a track and
training grounds of their own this season. With so many
wheelmen in the field there is no reason why they should
not he successful in their efforts.

The next regular meeting of the Oakland Bicycle Club will
be held at the residence of J. F. Kevalk, 17S9 William St.,
Oakland, on Tuesday evening next.

LAWN TENNIS

The California Lawn Tennis Club will hold an open han-
dicap tournament, doubles only, on Saturday, February 22,
1S90. commencing at 10 a. m., at the clnb grounds, southeast
corner Bush and Scott streets. The first priza will be the
''Gogging's Trophy" and a prize given by the olub. A sec-
ond prize will also be given to be played for by those de-
feated by the winning team. Entries close February 16, 1890.
Entrance fee SI each player. FriendB of the club are cor-
oially invited to witness these games. Luncheon will be
served. Entries may be made to E. N. Bee, Secretary, 208
California street.

For the benefit of our readers we print a few of the most
important roles recently adopted by the American Athletic
Union:

RULE VII. — RECORDS.

A new "record at any distance in swimming, walking, run-
ning or hurdling, in order to stand shall he timed by at least
three timekeepers, and a new record at jumping, pole vaul-
ting, or in the weight competitions shall be measured by at
least three measurers.

The Amateur Athletic Union will not recognize any new
record, unless a report of it is made to the Secretary of the
Union, properly supported by the affidavits of the referee,
timekeepers, scorers, starter or measurers, as the case may
be, as to the correctnes6B of the time, measurement, weather,
hour of day and place, with signatures of at least six wit-
nesses, including officials.

RULE XT.— TRACK MEASUREMENT.

All distances run or walked shall be measured upon a line
eighteen inches outward from the inner edge of the track,
except that in races on straightaway tracks the distance shall
be measured in a direct line from the starting mark to the
finishing line.

RULE XVI. — THE COURSE.

Each competitor Bhall keep in his respective position from
start to finish in all raceB on straightway trackB, with one or
more turnB he Bhall not cross to the inner edge of the track,
except when he is at least six feet in advance of his nearest
competitor.

The referee shall disqualify from that event any competi-
tor who willfully pushes against, impedes, crosses the course
of, or in any way interferes with another competitor.

Tha referee shall disqualify from further participation in
the games any contestant competing to lose, to coach, or in
any way impede the chances of another competitor, either in
a trial or final contest.

The finish of the coarse shall be represented by a line be-
tween two finishing posts, drawn across and at right angles
to the sides of the track, and three feet above which line
shall be placed a tape, attached at either end to the finishing
posts.

The tape is to be considered the finishiug line, and the
order of finishing ocross the track line Bhall determine the
positions of the competitors.

The rules for jumping will be given next week.

RULE XXIII— SWIMMING.

Section 1. Officials shall consist of one referee, three
judges at the finish, three timekeepers, one starter, one clerk
of the course, with assistants, if necessary.

Sec. 3. Duties and powers of these officials shall be the
same as is prescribed for them in the foregoing rules.

Sec. 3. In the 100 yard swimming race each competitor
shall stand with one or botn feet on the starting line, and
when the sisnal is given shall plunge. Stepping back either
before or after the signal will not be allowed.

Seo. 4. The half-mile and one mile start shall be the
same as the 100 yards, except that competitors may start in
the water (tread water start) from an imaginary line.

Sec. 5. A competitor shall keep a Btraight course, paral-
lel with the courses of the otter competitors, from his start-
ing station to the opposite point in the finish liDe. Compet-
itors will be started ten feet apart, and each one is entitled to
a Btraight lane of water ten feet wi^e from start to finish.
Any contestant who wben out of his own water shall touch
another competitor, is liable to disqualification for that
event, sutjeot to the discretion of the referee.

Sec. 6. Each competitor shall have finished the race when
any part of his person reaches the finish line.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

An important meeting of the Pacific CoaBt Amateur Alh"
letio Association, was held on Thursday evening last, partic-
ulars of which will appear in onr next issue.

A general meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club
was held at the club rooms, Murphy Building, on Thursday
evening. Final preparations were made for the coming
games, and it was decided to leafle the Eureka Tarn Verein
Hall on Powell Street, between PiDe and California Streets,
as permanent, headquarters for the club The gymnasium is
110 feet by 44, and is 30 feet high. Several new members
were elected. The clnb will move to its new rooms early next
week.

The California Athletic Club still exists, despite Mr. Daily's
effort to "break it up." The members would have attached
more importance to the ex-Director's bombas had he spoken
earlier in the day. To say the least, it was contemptible of
Dally to prefer the charges after he discovered that he was
not wanted any more on the "Board."

A very successful athletic entertainment was given by the
Acme Club of Oakland on Tuesday evening last. The rooms
were crowded to their utmost capacity, and perfect order pre-
vailed throughout the entire evening. Aa S 30 Tom Cleary,
of the Acme Club, and Will Hogarthy, of East Oakland,
stepped into the ring and opened tbe fun with a four-round
exhibition. There were several knockdowns during the
bouts. Hogarty proved himself to be cleverest of the two.
Billy Gallagher, of tbe Acme Club, and Hugh Gallagher, of
the Olympic Club of San Francisco, next gave a clever ^exhi-
bition in a thtee-round sparring contest, in which both won
considerable applause for soieutific displays. J. Kitchen, Jr.,
the amateur heavy-weight champion boxer of the Pacific
Coast, and a blacksmith from East Oakland named Mike Sul-
livan, followed in an exhibition of science vs. strength. Kit-
chen merely played with bis muscular opponent, much to tbe
amusement of the audience. W. Sharp and L. Wolf, both
light-weights of the Acme Club, sparred three rather tame
rounds, and when they left the ring tbe Master of Ceremonies
announced that the nest contest would be the event of the
evening, which was to be a six-round match between Fred
Irvin and Waller Smith for the feather weight championship
of tbe clnb, and a $50 trophy. R. McArthur, of the Olym-
pic Club of San Francisco, acted as referee, aud bis olnb
mates, Eugene Van Court and Tom McCord, as judges. The
men shook hands at 9 30. The battle was a hot one from
the start, and during the three first rounds, Irvin was knocked
down several times, and it looked as though the affair would
end in a "knock out." In the fourth round Irvin recovered
his wind, aud attempted to do up Smith in short order. He
was too weak, however, and at the end of the sixth round,
referee McArthur decided that Smith had fairly won the
match.

THE FARM.

Dehorning Cattle at Windsor Farm, Denver-
Col.

1

There has been and ie a great controversy as to the cruelty
(or otherwise) of Dehorning cattle and also as to the benefits
prodnced by it, and lastly whether a race of polled cattle can
be prodnoed by dehorning for a few generations. In regard to
the two former propositions, the experiments conducted at
the Windsor farm, would tend to prove there is no pain,
while a Kansas Stockman Bays every one wanted dehorned
cattle. "We quote a full description of the experiments at
Denver from the Denver Republican which says:

"Windsor Farm, lying seven miles Southeast of Denver,
is perhaps the model farm in Colorado if not in the West.
It embraces over 1000 acres under a high state of cultivation.
Stockmen and agriculturists travel for hundreds of miles to
witness the remarkable system of farming and stock raising
which is there carried on under the management of Mr. Wil-
lard F. Morse, of the firm of Bush & Morse, who own and
conduct the wonderful ranch.

Among the celebrated features of the Windsor farm, not
the least is its herd of Holstein-Friesian cattle. Including
pure bloods and high grades there are over 200 head of these
eattle on the farm, of which number 103 are milkers, furnish-
ing the favorite product of the Windsor dairy, the net profit
dnring the past season of which was nearly $20,000. These
100 spotted beauties are carefully stabled and each one of
them averages 2 lbs. of butter per day. The first impress-
ion of a visitor who walks down the long aisles and observes
the cows quietly feeding, is that they are muleys. In one
respect they are. They have been dehorned. The horns of
every one of the 103 cows have been sawed off close to the
head. It is claimed that the dehorning makes them morn
traotable and quiet, and less liable to injure their companion
cows; that in consequence they become better milkers and
heavier animals for market. The good effects are no longer
disputed, but a great deal of discussion has been going on
for years over the question as to whether the practice was not
ornel and should not be suppressed by law.

So warm has the debate become that the Humane Society
of this city, learning of the practice of dehorning cattle at
Windsor place, took the matter up and even threatened to
take legal ateps to put a stop to what the society conceived
to be cruelty to animals, and it was this state of feeling which
induced Manager Morse to give a public test of his method
and its results, and if it was decided that the method was in-
human and cruel he would hold himself amenable to the
law.

"In pursuance of this intention Mr. Morse issued invitations
to a number of prominent citizeop, stockmen and a well-
known veterinarysorgeon, also to SecretaryG. H. Thompson
of the Colorado Humane Society, and members of the press,
to visit Windsor farm and witness the dehorning process,
with a view of determining whether the method wa3 cruel
and inhuman, as its opponents claimed.

The invitation was accepted by all the gentlemen with ex-
ception of Secretary Thompson or auy representative of the
Humane Society. About 2o gentlemen drove out to the farm
and found everything in readiness to dehorn 25 head of cows
and a two year old thoronghbrel Holstein boll. The cows
had recently been purchase by Mr Morse in Nebraska, and
are all high bred Holstein-Friesinns, in fair condition,
thongh not up to the flash carried by the oldest resident of
the ranch. Amons those present were General William L
Campbell, Judge Amos Steck. Charles Limburg, a promin-
ent stock raiser of Western Colorado; Mr. Stokes, a large Mon-
na ranchman; Dr. Charles Cresswell memoer of the Royal
College of Veterinary Surgeons, London, and manager of the
Colorado Veterinary Hospital; Mr. Gooding; a Republican re-
presentative, and others.

The modus operandi of dehorning a cow is extremely s;m-
ple. Only three things are necessary: A cow, a stock and a
sharp meat saw snch as is used by butchers in cutting
steaks. The animal is driven into a narrow stall or chute
and its head fastened between two upright posts or bars
which are opened and closed at the top by means of pulleys
and rachets. A halter is thrown over the h^ad, which is then
pulled tn one side, when an able-bodied man can saw the
horns off in from eight to ten seconds.

The first animal, a fine young Holstein cow three years
old, was driven into the stall at three o'clock. She was
quickly fastened, and Superintendent Hunt sawed both
horns off in nine leconds. The animal was somewhat rest-
ive, bnt made no outcry. When released she shook her
head and walked to a trough and began licking salt. The
Rtump bled to some extent, but the hemorrhage soon ceased.
Nothing at all was applied to the wonnd, and the animal
seemed to take no notice of it after the first few minoteB fol-
lowing the operation.

The second cow was dehorned in ten seconds, the third in
twelve and the fourth in eight seconds. A young heifer was
made a muley in five seconds. She bawled once while the
operation was being parformed, and then walked off chewing
her cad. It w*b evidently like pulling a tooth; there was
momentary pain and it was all over. Sometimes a stump
suppurates for a few days, but stockmen present said they
never heard of a case resulting fatally. One oow was drink-
ing at the water tank when driven into the stocks. H6r
horns were amputated in seven seconds. She kicked and
plunged at a lively rate, but when released walked placidly
to the tank and finished quenching her thirst.

The most interesting features of the operation were the
observations taken by Dr. Cresswell, who made minute tests
as the operation proceeded. He found that while the horns
were being sawn off the animal's respiration and pulse each
rose from four to six degrees, bat subsided within ten min-
utes after the subject waB released. There was also a pro-
portionate rise of temperature during the operation, but this,
too, became normal in a short time. In order to ascertain
whether it was pain which caused the increase in respiration
and pulse, a cow was driven into the box, her neck fastened
and tied in the usual manner. At the end of ten seconds--
the length of time required to saw her horns off— it was found
by actual test with instruments that the respiration had risen
from 46 to 52, and the pulse in the same proportion, showing,
a* Dr. Cresswell maintained, that the increase was due to
excitement and restraint and not to pain.

Dr. Cresswell is of the opinion that sawing the horn itself
is comparatively painless, and that whatever acnte pain oc-
curs is caused by the saw outting through the skin whioh
Burrounds the ba^e of the horn and that it is but momentary
or lasts only as long as the operation of sawing continues.
He d^es not believe that the operation is near as painful as
the ornel practice of pressing a red hot branding iron against
the side ir hio of a cow; Deitber does the pain continue so
long. When a cow i* t rinded it almost invariably bawls in
agony. Out of the 26 head of cattle dehorned at Windsor
faro recently but two gave way to an expression of pam.

One was a heifer who was thoroughly frightened and the
other was the bull. He waB not in pain, but he was
mad.

Manager Morse, who has closely watched the result of de-
horning, sajs that it renders the animals as docile as sheap.
There is no bully in the crowd and no bulldozed animal co-
vered with gashes caused by the horns of the bully. The
dehorned animals flock together like sheep, eat and drink
contentedly and consequently are more cheaply kept and
take on flesh more rapidly than a herd of horned cattle In
regard to to the ultimate effects of dehorning, a Kansas
stockman says;

'■Last March we had 1046 head(of yearling steers; of that
number we dehornad 800. We pastured them through the
season. All did well. Could see no difference in the growth
of those that had horan and of those that had none The
past two months we sold the entire lot in bunches of 50 and
100 head to feeders. Now here is the difference: Men in
looking over our steers to get a bunch, all wanted dehorned
cattle. There are other very important reasons we discovered
for dehorning. We kept all our steers in pastures fenced,
some fenced with wire Borne with Osage hedge. We kept
the hornless ones separate from those that had horns, except
a few that had horns we put in with 250 without
horns. These steers were in pasture fenced with
hedge. Those steers that had horns io the latter part of the
season gave us trouble breaking through the hedge, while
the dehorned ones were much more quiet and gave us no
trouble in that way. We had the same experience with those
confined within our pastures. We kept 45U head, all dehorn-
ed, on one pasture daring the season; saw no disposition at
all with them to huddle in bunches, tramp each other's feet
and produce mud holes. I would say, dehorn everything —
cows, steers and bulls."

The Windsor farm is devoting its dairy department en-
tirely to HolBteins. A small herd of Galloways are still on
the farm, but it is the intention to dispose of these and keep
none but Holstein. These are dehorned when about two years
old. It is the opinion of scientific breeders that the system of
dehorning if kept up will result in a breed of polled cat.le
superior in all respects to their horned ancestors.

Good Jersey Beef.

Whether it ever will be possible to select a strain of J*r-
seys whose surplus male calves will make either veal or beef
cheaply we cannot tell. We think it to be quite possible.
But there is no doubt about the power of the Kerry to pro-
duce such beef and veal makers as well as prime dairy cows-
There was no more perfect beef steer in the whole of the
classeB than Mr. M. J. Sutton's Dexter-Kerry steer No. 251.
He weighed 10 cwt. 1 qr. 31b. at forty months old, and was
prime beef everywhere; and would probably dress 66 per
c-nt. to 6S per cent, of carcass. Animals cannot, in these
classes, be got ready for competition at only a year's notice.
We do not at all doubt that Jersey breeders will do more in
these cla=ses in future years. Still, it must be chronicled
that, so the first year's experience goes, the small breeds at
Smithfield Club in 18S9 go not to either of the Channel Is-
lands breeds, but to the Dexter-Kerry. To the merit of pro-
ducing wonderful little milch cows must be added that of
producing finished Christmas beeves holding their own with
the very finest English and Scotch beef cattle.— London Live

Starting with the observed fact that canaries fed with cay-
enne pepper acquire a ruddy plumage. Dr. Sauermann, of
the Berlin Physiological society, has based upon it a scien-
tific investigation of canaries, fow)B, pigeons and other birds.
From these he obtained the following results: Feeding with
pepper only produces an effect when given to young birds
before they molt; the color of the feathers of ol 'er birds can-
not be affected. Moisture facilitates the change of color to a
ruddy hue, which is agiin discharged under the influence
of sunlight and cold. A portion of the constituents of cay-
enne pepper is quite inactive, as, for instance, piperin and
several extractives, similiarly the red coloring matter alone
of the pepper has no effect on the color of the feathers.

It is rather the triolein, which occurs in the pepper in large
quantities, together with the characteristic pigment which
brings about the change of color by holding the red pigment
of the pepper in solution. Glycerine may be used instead
of triolein to bring about the same result. The same statement
holds good with regard to the feeding of birds with anilioe
colors. The red pigment of the pepper is also stored in the
ege yolk as well as in the feathers. The first appearance of
the pigment in the yolk may be observed as a colored ring
four days after the commencement of feeding with the pig-
ment dissolved in fat. After a further two days' feeding the
whole yolk is colored. — Ex.

"Meat" for the Veterinarians.

Capt. I. G. Heaps, of Annawan, 111., came up to get points
on a lump jaw question and succeeded in finding at Hess
Bros., where the 109 head were killed a remarkably good spec-
imen of a jaw-bone that was enlarged by the disease. At the
lnmpy part the bone was nearly twice the normal size, and
there were tubes leadinginto the marrow. Capt. Heaps thinks
that the disease is not communicable to the human family
and qaotes Prof. Williams of England and Prof. Jennings
of Phildelphia as his authorities. He says there is no re-
corded evidence that auy sickness ever proceeded from eat-
ing the flesh of cattle with lumps on their jaws, and believes
that the veterinarians who have lately raised such a hubbub
about it have taken it up as an eligible fad after they have
worn the "pleuro-pneumo'nia racket" about thread-bare.

Lump jaw, or actinomycosis, he declares, can be cured
easily with the pen knife, before the bone becomes affected.
He has removed hundreds of tumorous formations on the
jaws of cattle, and says that after washing the wound with
carbolic acid it heals up so thoroughly that no one could tell
that anything had been the matter with the animal. Capt.
Heaps thinks that while there is no real danger from eating
the flesh of lumpy jaws, it is hest to be on the safe side and
condemn such stock, especially where the bone or saliva
gland have become affected.

Before the veterinaiiaue found that actinomycosis was a
good thing for their business there were just as many lump
jaws as now, and as the animals fattened and thrived as w*ll
as others, people used them for food purposes without any
thought of danger. The captain admitted that he would cot
knowingly eat "the flesh of such an animal, tut at the same
time eaid'it was more prejudice than anything else and was
about on a par with the projodke which w uld prevent bim
from eating hors* flesh, though he knew it would Dot hurt
him.— Drovers' Journal.

Saratoga Association.

The large number of entries from California to all the
principal events in the programmes of the Eastern Asso-
ciations show that more horses will be raced on the
Atlantic Coast representing owners from this State this
year, than ever before. Already the columns of the
Breeder and Sportsman have contained the advertise-
ments of the leading jockey clubs, anl now that old reli-
able body, the Saratoga Association, proclaim to our
readers this week, their list of stakes for both the first
and second meetings of 1890.

More money is offered this year than ever before, and
there will be many endeavors made to pluck the rich
plums offered so freely by the Saratogians. After a
heavy campaign at Latonia and Chicago, there is no
place in the East where horses will recuperate so faBt as
they dc at the "City of the Springs," and it is a well
known fact that horses show higher average form at
Saratoga than at any other point on the circuit. The
course is one of the best graded, and Burely one of the
safest, in the country, which, when taken into considera-
tion with the salubrious climate, freedom from mosqui-
toes, and the purity of the water, makes it one of the
most desirable places East to take race-horses. The
usual thirty days racing will be given, and already the
association has secured the services of Furinan T. Nutt,
Esq., as presiding judge and Mr. James Sheridan as
starter. The Californians who are going to take horses
back, or who have horses already in the East, should
read the announcement carefully and make entries at
once.

Overland ? i

The Overland Park Club Association, of Denver, Col.,
held their annual meeting on Saturday, Jan. 11th. The
report of Superintendent Hall showed the affairs of the
club to be in a very satisfactory condition, with a hand-
some profit on the year's business. The following Di -
rectors were elected for the ensuing year: James H.
Carille, Joseph E. Choate, "William Daniels, B, H. Du-
Boi3, Edward Eddy, George H. Estabroolc, Phil Feldhau-
ser, A. P. Fowler, Win. R. Mygatt, D. D. Streeter, N.
M. Tabor, J. H. P. Yoorhees, and Henry E. Wolcott.
The club will hold two meetings during the year 1890,
in May and October. The club will also give matinee
races once each week during the summer. Both the reg-
ular meetings and the weekly race days will provide for
trotting, pacing and running races. As will be seen in
the advertising columns, the Association announce their
Btakes for the spring meeting, and with their accustomed
liberality have added to the stakes with a bountiful
hand. There are two stakes for two year olds, two for
three year olds, and two for the all aged horses. The
distances are from half a mile to a mile and a half, and
it is pleasant to note that neither of the three year old
events are at less than a mile. The Denver Trotting
Stake is also announced for colts and fillies three years
old and under, that have never beaten 2.30. The nomin-
ating fee is very light, and this should warrant a large
entry list. There has been such an interest manifested
in superior breeding throughout Colorado. Utah and
Montana that the meeting should be one of the best ever
held in Denver. The officers elected are all energetic
men, and no effort will be spared to provide for the com-
fort of those who may become patrons of the Overland
Park Club.

Goodwin's Guide-

The annual edition of the now indispensible Goodwin's
Guide arrived by mail on Thursday morning, too late
for more than a passing notice this week. As usual, it
contains the result of every running race which took
place during 1889 of which authentic information could
be obtained; racing fixtures for 1890; winners of stakes
in 3889; scale of weights for the United States; Jockey
mounts during 1889; "fastest time" made last year;
some of the largest paying mutual pools; fastest time on
record; running horses that have died since January 1,
1889; list of horses whose names have been changed dur-
ing the year; jockeys' lowest weights and to whom en-
gaged for 1890; race track terms and phrases; betting
rules and interesting turf events; in fact, it is a perfect-
encyclopedia of racing matters, and no one can afford to
be without it. The Guide is issued by Goodwin Bros.,
241 Broadway, N. T.

The new club located at Westchester will have very sue
cessful meetings this year if the entries are any criterion b
go by. Although in their infancy as yet, the association mad

ingly realize that fact, for the best horses in the country hav«
been entered, and almost every State in the Union is repre
sented. The following is the complete total received in eact

A Current Falsehood Exposed-

Lexington, Ky., January 18, 1S90.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — It is due to parties
concerned that the following correspondence be made pub-
lic:

National Trotting Association, )

Office of the president, J

Lexington, Ky., Jan. t, 1890. J

Mr. Charles Greene, St. Louts, Mo. — Dear Sir:— I have received
from a correspondent a clipping from a Chicago paper, which had be-
fore escaped my notice, in which you are reported as saying;

"The overtures for consolidation came from the National some time
ago, and so eager were the officers of that body to bring about such b
result that they one-red to step down and out and offered to accept the
officers of the American as the governing bfar'i of the proposed asso-
ciation. "We refused to accept the proposition for several reasons. I
am firmly convinced tbat this country is entirely too large to be gov-
erned by one body with central organization. The only plan on
which the National and American Associations could combin ) woul "
be for each to retain its present staff of officers and appoint an execi
live board from the two associations to confer together. This
hardly necessary, as it would not bring the two bodies much Deal. .
together. "We work in perfict harmony now, and any horse ruled off
by either party is debarred from racts^given under the auspices of
the other. I think that is the nearest we will overcome lo consoli-
dation."

These statements require a response at my hands, and I do not feel
authorized to assume that yon are correctly quoted without r rst cat-
ling your attention to the language and asking you to Inform me If
you are. Trusting jou will favor me with an early reply, I am very
respectfully, p. p. Johnston.

Sr. Louis, January, 6, 1890.

Juuge P. P. Johnston, Lexington, Ky.— Dear Snt :— Yours of the
4th inBt. to hand. The clipping referred to in your letter, and repor*
ted as emanating from me is not true.

Very truly yours, Charlbs Greets.

It is a mattei of regret tbat currency should have been
given to an irreppmsii'le statement tbnt carried on its face
evidence of a reckless regard of truth, conclusive to tbe mind
of every well-informed horseman; especially when tbe aim
of the fabrication was to aronse antagonism hurtful to tbe
horse interest.

Very many thoughtful breeders and horsemen believe that
the existence of two independent powers, administering law
on the same Bubject matter in the fame territory, is a mis-
fortune that ought to be remedied The personal business
relations of the enlightened breeders and horsemen through-
out the couutry are of a cordial character, and they work to-
gether harmoniously for the advancement and elevation of
trotting interests. When anything of an irritable character,
calculated to perpetuate the diff rences that unfortunately
occurred a few years ago, is thrust before the public, it is, as
a rule, without respectable paternity, and may be traced to
some parasite on the trotting interest, who hopss to fatten
on the disease he creates.

Personally, I would have no hesitation about making over-
tures to gentlemen engaged as I am in trying to promote
the same general purposes/if I was authorized and the oo*
ca«ion seemed opportune. In so far as we "differ now, tbe
difference is an error of judgment on the part of one or the
other. When wecan agree upon what is right, we will have
found, tbe common ground where all will meet.

A horse sired as you state would not be standard. He has
Dot a single qualification.

The pedigree of Batte was given in the Breeder and

city, might furnish you with farther information.

1. I wish you would find out for me how many races
Vashti trotted and what is her best record, 2. Who bred
her? 3. Is this right or Dot: Vashti, by Chieftain, dam by
Nena Shaib (thoroughbred^ grandam by Jim Crow(thoroagh-
bred)?

Answer. — Five races, as far as we can find out. Her rec-
ord is 2:32$. We do not know who bred her, but Bbe was
formerly owned by J. U. Pray of Stockton. Ton have the
sire and BiBt dam right, but we cannot verify the second
dam.

T. G. D.

Is Muldoou a standard horse, and was he sired by George
M. PatcheD, Jr!

Answer.— Give his breeding as far as jou know it, and al-
so his owner or the breeder.

E. H. C.

Oblige by giving the full breeding of Dexter Prince, also of
Peerless by Gen. Knox. Can you inform me where they now

stand? w , „ . , „

Answer.— Dexter Prince is by Kentucky Prince, dam Lady
Dexter; 2d dam Dexter's dam by Seeley's American Star.
we cannot place the other horse. Dexter Prince is standing
in this State.

J. E. E.

Please give the records of Emma G. and Sunflower, sired
bv Elmo; also, please give the BJre ot L. C. Lee, pacer record

2:15'.

Answer— Emma G , 2:27*. Sunflower 2:28. While L. C.
Lee has been credited to Elmo for Feveral years, it is now
generally accepted that his sire was Walker's Elmo.

Jas. M. Givern, Saint John, N. B.

On page 532 in your paper, in answer to correspondence,
yon mention Jannary's St.. Lawrence's 2nd dtim by William-
son's Belmont. Can that be the St. Lawrence hcrse that
sired tbe Maekey mare now owned by L. J. Kose? If you can
tell me I would be much obliged.

Answer.— The St. Lawrence to which you allude was prob-
ably a son of January's St. Lawrence and ww called Road-
house's St. Lawrence, but it is almost impossible to prove
that he was the sire of the Maekey mare.

J. W. 31.

Please give the breeding in foil of Jim Hawkins (sire of
Tamarack 2:28, and Belle B 2:26^). He was bred and owned
by Judge Hutton of Yolo, now deceased, and sold by him to
Captain Johnson of Southern Calfiornia. Jim Hawkins is
now standard under rule 3. and it will be of interest to many
who hav« some of his descendants to know his breeding. He
was certainly a remarkable horse. Living in comparative ob-
scurity, with little or no opportunity in the atud, with noth-
ing in hit pedigree to induce aoy one to train his offspring,
yet he has two fast trotters to his credit.

Answer — Jim Hawkins is a son of Jack Hawkins, son of
Boston. His pedigree and history is not reoorded in any of
the authorities.

Eoqnirer. — Can you give me the pedigree of the horse
known as Die'z's St. Clair.

Answer. — Mr. Dietz was asked to answer and the follow-
ing is his reply. —

Editor Breeder asd Sportsman: — In reply to your favor
of January 2Sth, the following is as correct a statement as I
can give you as to the breeding of Deitz's St. Clair. The
grandam was brought to this State from Kentucky, by James
Hornet in 1S59. She was of Diomed stock; color, blood-bay;
height aboot 15£ hands In crossing tbe plains she got in
foal by a Black Hawk stallion. The get was a black mare
foal. At three years old I bred her to Miller's St. Clair. The
get was a black horse colt, foaled in 1864, May 2d, I named
him Young St. Clair, but within the last ten or twelve yearB
he was known only as Deitz's St Clair. His color was jet
black, with heavy mane and tail; left hind foot white; solid
built. His height was 15 hands and 3 inohes, well coupled,
tine disposition, rather high Btrung, good bottom and a
square trotter. I drove him to a heavy baggy in three
minutes. He died one year ago last Fall at Yacaville, Solano
County. He was then the property of Mr. Hawkins.

In yonr issue of September 14, 1SS9, was a cnt of Janio; it
is a true picture of Deiiz's St. Clair. I remain,

with great substance, and goud temper. Is very level headed; in Mb first race tbe past season he only made
one break in five cloBely con ested beats. He haB great speed and endurance, with the pure, rapid Electioneer

in the third heat, on a slow track, after making a Beason (serving over 6t) mares), with scarcelv any prepara-
tion. His record is no mark of his speed. He was a natural born trotter, and Mr. Charles Marvin conBid-

The above pedigree should show every intelligent breeder that Don Marvin is "Mgh" bred though very
strong in trotitng blood. All the comment it is deemed necessary to make as to the value of "thoroughbred
olood" in the trotter is simply to refer to the very significant fact that the first and second damB of Maud S,

TERMS— Dun Marvin will make the ensuing season from Februtry 1st to July 1st, 1890, at $!0 the sea-
son, with the usual privilege of returning the mareiuext season if not proving in foal. MareB from a distance

HAWTHORNE 10,935.
The property of L- U. Shippee. Stockton. California.

It can very justly be Baid, and without fear of contradic-
on, that California to-day has three of the largest trottiog
orse farms in the world. While this is merely an
isumption, we verily believe that no other State can show
trio of breeders that can number among their possessions
200 well-bred brood mares. So much has been said about

Palo Alto and the Eanoho del Paso, that the writer thought
that it was no more than just to look over' some of the vast
domain owned by the Hon. L. U. Shippee, a portion of which
lies in San Joaquin Co., and at the same time he owdb thous-
ands of acres in Maripcsa, Merced and Butte Counties. In
all, the gentleman has about 30,000 acres, which consists of

twelve farms, six of which are within & very short distance
of Stockton.

Mr. Shippee arrived in California in 18.56. beiDR what would
be called a "down east yank," with a keeu eye to business,
and the shrewd money making ability which is characteristic
of those born north of the Connectiont line. He at one

Btarted in mercantile pursuits in Stockton, and rapidly made
a fonune, and although the sale of merchandise has been
given up for a loDg time, the gentleman is still heavily inter-
ested in many of the manufacturing interests whioh make the
name ol Stockton famous.

From his youth, he was always an ardent admirer of live
stock of all kinds, and although we only propose to speak of
the horses in the present article, still he has pigs, Bheep,
cattle and fowls of the very choicest blood and strains that
money can procure. It has for many years been his aim
and ambition to have a gentleman's stook farm, not for the
purpose of making money, but to which he might look as
one of the pleasures and amusements of his life. Although
he has been breeding for the last twenty-five years, it is only
within the last ten that his fame has become known through-
out California.

Some eight years ago he w&s fortunate enough to purchase
a well-bred son of Nutwood which is called Hawthorne.
This was long before the time that the name of his sire was
bo celebrated as it is at the present day, and simply goes to
show the judgment which is used by Mr. Shippee in nearly
all of his stock-buying transactions. Hawthorne in himself
is a most magnificent individnul, standing about sixteen
hands in height, a beautiful bay in color, with black points,
one hind foot white, and a few white hairs on the forehead.
He is all that could be desired in disposition, looks and per-
fect make-up. He is as "clean as a whistle," and will com-
pare favorably with any stallion in the State to-day. His
get are verv uniform, their legs being particularly good, for
while we looked over a large number of his yearlings and
two-year-olds, we failed to detect a single one in which there
was spot or blemish: that he is a producer of speed, has
already been testified to by the performances of Tempest,
2:19, J. 0. Shelly, 2-29i Moses S., 2:29i, and although this
record ia not very low, he was timed during the last season
in a race, in which he came iu second to Direct, in 2:21£.
The following is Hawthorne's pedigree:

Electioneer, dam of By Abdallah 1.
Nutwood Chief.
Mr. Shippee is confident that he can put at least eight of
Hawthorne's get, now owned on the ranch, in the 2:30 list
during the coming year, and making due allowances for the
ordinary number of accidents which are liable to happen
while horses are being prepared for campaign work, with-
out such accidents, it is altogether probable that fully double
that number could go in during the season.

A few days ago a visit was made to what is known as French
Camp Farm, at which are located at present a number of
youngsters which will be taken Eist between the 20th and
22d of the prtBent month, to be sold one-half at Peoria and
the remainder at Kidd, Edmonson & Morse's combination
sale at Chicago.

When we arrived at Lathrop, a carriage was in waiting,
and we found the genial Harry Whiting ready to drive us to
the farm, As we journeyed along, the time was pleasantly
consumed in narrating old horse anecdotes, in which Harry
is a perfect mint of information, and it Beemed but a few
minutes for us to make the drive of 4£ miles. The proprie-
tor was in waiting to receive the scribe, and after a pleasant
salutation, the business of the day began. ColtB and fillies
were brought out in vast profusion, and comments weie
made on them as they passed under the eye of those present;
one of the number, Judge Bennefc of Btocktoo, proved himself
a good judge of the equine race, hiB idea of the make-up of
the little ones beins; first rate, and when we came to inspect
the more aged ones, he seemed equally well at home.

A bay filly, two years old by Hawthorne 10935 wbb the
first shown; her dam by Bonner, he by Tien. Knox 140; 2nd
dam thoroughbred. She is a high spirited little Miss and a
trotter.

Sheriff Thome 11332 is a chestnut colt two years, old with
white feet; .his sire Hawthorne, dam, sister to dam of Tem-
pest 2:19. He is a fine compact colt, splendid back and loins,
and is well pat up all over. This will be a rare prize for
whoever may purchase him.

Attention was now called to a ch f two years old by Haw-
thorne, dam by Motion, he by Daniel Lambert 102; 2ud dam
by Williamson's Belmont. This is a standard filly and has
fine action, showing unmistakeable signs of being a natural
trotter.

A perfect beauty, two years old, was next examined; she
ib by Abby, a son of Abbotsford, her dam being by Haw-
thorne; 2d dam by Chieftain; 3d dam by Belmont. ThiB is
a very raey-lookiug filly, and should bring a good price.

A black filly by Hawthorne was next led out; her dam is
by Dan Lambert, which is guarantee enough of her excel-
lence. The filly has an exceedingly fine gait, good knee
action, and is fit to grace the stable of any owner of trotters.
The next was a bay colt two years old, by California Lam-
bert, he a son of Addison Lambert, a son of Daniel Lambert.
The colt's dam is the grandam of Tempest, 2:19, second dam
being by Coburn's Jim Crow, a son of the thoroughbred Jim
Crow; J. C. Shelly, 2:29|, and Bnghtlight are both out of
the colt's first dam. This tine individual will be disposed of
in the Peoria lot.

Another of the yoongsters to be taken to Peoria is a two-
year-old chestnut filly with white star, by California Lam-
bert, and her dam is by Nutwood, the second dam being
kuown as the Trustee Mare, She is a fine, rangy filly, with
plenty of substance, and is very taking to the eye.

We now come to a black colt by Hawthorne, dam by Mor-
gan Battler, graodam by Belshazzer(thoroughbred); he has a
Rmall white strip in face; is a beautifully turned horse with
fine quarters, good legs, and is double gailed. He should
make, if properly handled, a trotter far above the average,
although if trained to pace, he will undoubtedly be very fast.
Our attention was next called to a two-year-old bay filly by
Hawthorne, her <irst dam being by Echo 402; 2d dam by Don
"Victor. This is a tine filly; solid colors, very clean cut, and
will be a gem for whoever may purchase her.

We now come to another bay colt with two hind feet white,
faint star; he is a levelheaded animal, and was trotted up
and down, bo that we might Bee whit he was capable of doing;
he is very nicely gaited, a good size for a two-year-old,
plenty of bone, well muscled, and should prove a very fast
horBe. He is by Hawthorne, dam by Reuben, he a son of
Black Hawk 5; Reuben is the sire of Alice Garret. 2:31, and
Skylark; 2d dam by Chieftain, and the third dam by Sbenen-
doah.

One of the three-year-old fillies was now brought out, a
bay in color, with black points, and without a single white
hair on her; she is by Hawthorne, dam by Chieftain; 2d dam
by Belmont, the second dam being the dam of Nellie Grat-
tan, 2:32. This is a fine individnal, full-sized for her age, j
and a very quiet disposition, still, at the same time, with '

plenty of life and spirit when being exercised. From her
blood lines she should prove a first-class brood mare, if who-
ever may purchase her does not wish to put her on the track.
Another of the three-year-olds was a dark bay colt by Long
Island, he by New York 524, dam by Nutwood; 2d dam the
Trustee mare spoken of above. She is another of thoBe that
may be ranked with the best, her conformation being perfect.
Our attention was next called to a chestnut filly two years
old, by Hawthorne, dam Overshot by Chieftain, the dam
being a full sister to the dam of Tempest; 2d dam Old Tem-
pest by Morgan Rattler. This filly has been sick for some
time, but has almost recovered. She is built on speed lines,
and will prove, barring accidents, a very fast mare, or appear-
ances go for nothing.

A beautiful brown colt, two years old, was now brought for
examination, he being by Hawthorne, dam by Tilton Almont;
2d dam the Boggs mare by Lodi; 3d dam by Norfolk. This
is a splendid type of the trotter, with plenty of thoroughbred
blood; he has any quantity of nerve power; h*B heen worked
single and double, and gives every indication of proving
himself a very fast trotter.

The next brought out. was a chestnut with one white hind
foot, by Hawthorne, dam by Hambletonian725, she beingafull
Bister to Kilrain, which was timed as a three-year-old, the
second horse in a race in 2:28, this filly will make a trotter
.lure.

Another of the 3-vear-old colts which will be sent to Peoria,
is a solid bay in color by Hawthorne, dam by Echo; 2nd dam
by Don Victor, he is a perfect model of the ideal trotter, and
will without doubt bring a very long price.

We were rather taken with the 3 year-old brown filly by
Hawthorne, dam by Chieftain; 2nd dam by Bel-
mont, who acted as though she knew she were on inspection
and trod the ground with the air of a queen; her disposition
is of the best, her action more than good and she can show,
even thne early in the season, a merry cl p.

A yearling filly, brown in color was next looked at, she has
two hind feet white, with a white star, she iB also by Haw-
thorne, dam Gen. Dana; 2nd dam by Belmont, this 2nd dam
is the one mentioned above as being the dam of Nellie Grat-
ten, 2:32.

A yearling colt which will be sent to the Chicago sale, was
next brought out. He ia by Breastplate 11,392 (full brother
to Moses S., 2-year-old record 2:29j), he by Hawthorne; the
dam of this colt is by John Nelson Jr., a son of John Nel-
son 1S7, grandam byDeitz'sSt. Clair. This is a very racy
looking auimal, and when offered for sale should be product-
ive of much competition.

When Mr. Shippee purchased the horse known as Camp-
bell's Electioneer 2:22A, he also bought at the same time the
horse Campaign, a horse that for beauty and conformation
cannot be surpassed in the country; he is by Electioneer,
dam Lilly B., by Homer 1235, 2nd dam Maggie Lee by
Blackwood 74, 3rd dam Lucille by Alexander's Abdallah, 4th
dam by Pilot Jr. This young horse Campaign, is particularly
mentioned, as he is the sire of a beautiful yearling brown
filly, which for its age is very large and racy looking. The
dam of the filly is by Motion 1544, he by Dan Lambert 102.
She is a great big, fine animal, and shows beyond doubt the
same conformation as do all tht Electioneers, if Bhe does not
bring a handsome figure, we will be much mistaken.

A very handsome yearling, bay in color, now came trotting
down the road, led by one of the assistants. He is by Henry
Thome 10,997, a son of Hawthorne. The dam of the colt is
Daisy (dam of Mt. Vernon 2:21), 2nd dam Old Beauty. Like
most of those carrying Nutwood blood, he is Folid in color,
and has an easy way of going that is particularly striking,
and as he i^ bred in such spesd line , both top and bottom, he
should be invaluable as a stock horBe; in addition to what he
may do at the trot.

We now come to a shapely little fellow, brown in color,
one year old. by Hawthorne, dam by Tilton Almont, 2nd
dam the Boggs Mare. He is very evenly turned, and already
shows his trotting inheritance.

The next Bhown is a yearling, black in color, by Haw-
thorne, dam by Harry Lambert, he a son of Addison
Limbert; 2nd dam Ellen Douglas- We again see in this colt
the strong evidences of the thoroughbred showing up. Heis
a perfect picture, and at the same time a good square trotter.
Hawthorne is once more represented in a yearling bay colt
whose dam is by Harry Lambert, 2nd dam Yorktown by
Chieftain. He is another built on the racy order, and should
give a good account of himself.

Still another of the unnamed ones is a bay yearling by
Hawthorne, dam by Joe Daniels, 2nd dam by the Burrow's
horse, he by the McKinney Horse.

We now come to a bay colt, one year old, by Hawthorne,
dam by Harry Lambert, 2nd dam by Don Victor. His color
is relieved by one white hind foot. Like all the balance of
the Hawthornes, he has plenty of bone and muscle, is high
spirited and has very good action.

The last of the yearlings at the French Camp Farm was
a chestnut filly with two hind coronets white, and a small
Btar. She ib by Abby, dam by Hawthorne; 2d dam by Chief-
tain. This is a high-finished animal, with an excellent way
of goine; if she does not make a trotter we will be Badly dis-
appointed.

One of the young stallions which we looked at was a bay
colt which was particularly admired, not only on account of
hie form, but also on account of his pedigree, and he should
prove a good stock horse; he is by Hawthorne, dam by Sul-
tan; 2d dam by Hambletonian 725; 3d dam by Bonner, be by
Hambletonian 725; 4th dam by Williamson's Belmont. This
ia another of the double gaittd animals, but his exquisite
form and fine points was the cause of many exclama-
tions of pleasure. When going at ordinary speed he seems a
trotter pure and Bitnple, but when urged, be strikes a very
fast pace.

Major Thorne 11328, is a four-year-old black horse by
Hawthorne, dam the dam of Tempest, and also dam of Shelly.
2:29£, and Brightlight, 2:40; 2d dam by Coburn's Jim Crow,
he by Jim Crow, thoroughbred. Mr. Shippee has bad several
offers for this exceedingly tine horse, but has as yet refused
all temptations to sell him.

Chestnut Thome 11330, aB his name would indicate, is a
chestnut in color, with white stripe in face; he is by Haw-
thorne, dam Mocking Bird (full siBter to Honesty, 2:252); 2d
dam by Chieftain; 3d dam by Coburn's Jim Crow. This
grandly-bred individual will be disposed of at the Chicago
sale.

Another one of those to be taVen East for sale is a black
filly by Hawthorne, dam Priam 1798; 2d dam by Black Hawk
767; 3d d«m by Remley's Royal Oak.

When on a visit to the Stockten race truck in the early
portion of laHt year, some time before the circuit began, we
had occasion to mention the good-looking Kilrain, which is
as fine a specimen of the trottiug horse as one conld care to
aee; he is a bay with black points, and although at present
high in flesh, looks ns though he would like to be back at
h»rd trick work. Kilrain is by Hawthrme, dam by Ham-
bletonian 725; 2d dam by Bonner, he by Hambletonian 725;

3d dam by Williamson's Belmont. Mr. Shippee has every
confidence that before the close of the present season, the
fame of Hawthorne will be still further augmented by Kilrain
beating 2:20; he is fully 16 hands high, with plenty of spirit,
and has an exceedingly tine gait. Kilrain will be sent to
Stockton for active work as soon as the track will permit of
it.

When Director commenced to prove how he was capable of
breeding on, Mr. Shippee decided to procure the very heBt
Dictator colt that could be purchased, and with that object
in view, commenced corresponding with the prominent
breeders of the East to rind out where a choice representa-
tive of that family could be bought; after months of delay
he finallv eelected one, and his choice proved that the animal
was all that could be desired.

When Mr. Stemler started back East last summer, he whs
ioBtrncted to go and take a look at the colt which Mr. Ship-
pee thought would suit him, with instruc ions to buy if he
was a perfect animal. Mr. Stemler, after an examination, pur-
chased the youngster, then only a yearling, and brought him
back to California. This royal reprepentative of the best blue
blood of Kentucky has been named Dictator Wilkes; be is by
Dic'ator, dam Manola byGeo. Wilkes; 2d dam Lizzie Brinker
(dam of Budd Crook, 2:18}, Adjutant, 2:27£. Lucy Fleming,
2:24}, etc.). she by Drennan'B Brinker; 3d dam by Million's
Copper Bottom; 4th dam by a son of Blackburn's Whip; 5th
dam by Bishop's Hambletonian. If this two-year-old does
not make a mark in the breeding annals of this State, it will
be very much of a surprise to all who have ever seen him; he
is as nerfect an can be, without spot or blemisb, and is a
kingly looking fellow. Mr. Shippf e will breed him this year
to four or five mares, then he will be gently exercised, and
probably sent for a record before the season of 1890 ends.

We now come to a full fledged pacer, chestnut in color,
called Chief Thorne 11331 by Harry Thorce, dam Daisy,
2:3U (the dam of Mt. Vernon, 2:21); 2d dam Beauty by Old
Doc^ This colt has a regular pacing conformation, and is
very speedy; he will be worked among others during the
coming season.

Moses S. 1 1009 is so well known that it is hardly necessary
to say much about him, he having made a name for himBelf
and his sire in races, both in 1SSS and 18S9; he is by Haw-
thorne, dam the dam of Ha-Ha, 2:22}; 2d dam Billing's
mare, sometimes known aB the Jim Eoff mare. Moses S.
has improved very much in form since he made his two-year-
old record of 2:29}, and although his mark was not lowered
last season, he was timed separately when be came in secoDd
to the great Direct, Moses S 's time b'ing 2:2U; heisanothpr
of the Hawthorne colts which it is conridently believed will
be able to trot this season better than 2:20.

Pedro, a bay gelding six years old, by Hawthorne, ib a full
brother to Moses S., and has a mark of 2:36; he will al-n
receive work before long, and if he shows any inclination to
take hie work kindly, will te sent among the 2:25 pac ra on
the coming circuit.

Where there are so many choice animals to look at, it is
a hard matter to select one which seems to show better than
the others, but there was one bay pacer, two years old, that
caught our eye, as he seems to be built on very sp edy lines;
he Ib by Hawthorne, dam June Second by Ben Frar klirj 753;
2d dam Kitty Harris by Dan Lambert; 3d dam Gazelle. This
is a very fine colt, and should go down the line at a rattling
rate of speed.

Thornewood is a full brother to Kilrain, and is a very prom-
ising colt.

The stable boys have a great liking for the fine
bay gelding, five years old, by Hawthorne, dam by Gen Me-
Clellan 145; 2d dam Lady Fine. He shows up well, and has
evidently inherited a vast amount of Bpeed.

Allen Thorne is a bay colt, three years old, by Hawthorne,
dam by Dan Lambert; 2d dam Kitty Harris. We cannot help
remarking that this colt resembles in a striking degree the
old trotter Ethan Allen as we saw him many years ago, back
in "Old York State."

Another of the likely looking colts is the chestnut horse
Princewood; be has three white feet and strip in face; be ia
by Dexter Prince, dam by Nutwood; 2d dam Maud, the dam
of Reliance, record 2:22i, and Magdallah, 2:231; Princewood
has evidently a great amount of speed, and it will require but
little work to develop what there is latent in him.

As time was limited, and we had to return, it was impos-
sible to examine the score of youngsters fo be Been in the
various paddooks; however, we hope in the near future to
be able to give a more extended account of the horses at the
French Camp Farm. A large majority of the above will be
shipped between the 20th and 22d of this month, and for-
warded to the East for sale.

It was well toward the evening hour before we finished'
the inspection, but not before a good look had heen aken nt
the stable and barns, everything at which appeared in applp
pie order. The entire consignment is under the charge of
Mr. Jas. Thompson, who has lately arrived in this State,
from Kansas, where he formerly worked for Mr. Cample'l,
the gentleman who now owns Campbell's Electioneer 2:22*,
and Mr. Thompson is the driver who at Abilena, Kansas, on
September 1 2th, drove Mr. Campbell's horse to his record.
He is thoroughly posted in his business, a good jurtgeofa
horse, a splendid judqe of gait and action, and should prove
a most valuable man for Mr. Shippee. He will relurn
mediately after the Chicago sales, and prepare some of Haw-
thorne's get. for records this year.

A short drive was made to French Camp where we iook
the evening train, and in a few minutes we were safely en-
sconced in the well known Yosemite Hotel in Stockton; af-
ter a bountiful repast, a visit was made to the bank, of whioh
Mr. Shippee is President, and in his private office, horses,
thf-ir pedigrees, their performances and prospective perform-
were fully talked over. Mr. Shippee is an enthusiast ia
horse breeding, as may readily be Been when it is stated that
within a very short time be has spent about $200,000 fori •>
first-class s ock. It is not only tbe trotters that he adheres
to, but hiB stable of runners are also well known tbrouRnooij
the State, and while he has but very few as in comparisot
with the trotters, the thoroughb eds that he possesses are of
the very best strains known to Amerioan breeders.

Having a desire to see some of the thoroughbred brood
mares, we determined to remain over another day, and visit a
second of the ranches, which is knowo as tbe Oaklawn Stock
Farm, situated midway between Stockton and the flonrishinp
little town of Lodi, on the old Cherokee Lane. When Mr.
Shippee first bought this thousand acres, in 18G5, he set oot,
around the entire allotment, a number of fir trees, at an
equal distance apart, and also planted the same specie of tret
in all the roads and Janes running throngh the farm. Tbt
sight to-day to a stranger, who is visiting that portion of tb(
San Joaquin Valley for the first time, ia very striking, as tb<
handsome trees are a pleasing change to the eye, from tht
monotony of the ordinary fencing, which becomes tiresome tt
him who drives through the San Joaquin.

When we arrived at Oaklawn, Mr. Miller, the manager
was at hand to show us his favored pe's, and as piddock af
ter paddock was gone throngh, it was with pardonable pridi

that he pointed out, first trotter and then thoroughbred, a
lirgd majoritv of whom are in foe] to the very btst bred Btal-
lious in this State. It would take up more room than the
Breeder and Spoktssian can possibly spare, to enumerate
eaoh individual tbat was shown to ua, yet it seems only right
that mention should be made of a few of those that particu-
larly struck us as being splendid individuals. The great
storms of the past three months has not affected in any seri-
ous manner, tbe great paddocks which are here, to be 6een,
and it was with no difficulty that we traversed some eight or
ten of them, and viewed the royally bred matrons.

It might be jost as well to state here, that Mr. Shippee
owns quite a number of Btallious in addition to "Hawthorne"
previously mentioned; one of which, "Long Island" was
purchased in the East for Mr. Shippee by Chas. Marvin, the
manager of Palo Alto Stock Farm. "Looglsland" is a son
of "New York" 524, a splendid specimen of equine beauty.
He is a rich brown in color, with three white feet and a little
white over the coronet of the foorth font; his second dam
was by "Bonnie Scotland", and hiB neck and head strongly
shows the thoroughbred blood that runs through hiB veins.
His get are all that could be desired, Bhowing plenty of sub-
stanoe and stamina, and good trotting inheritance, he is a
grand addition to Mr. Shippee's trotters, and will without
doobt make a name for himself.

"California Lambert" is a son of "Addison Lambert" 744,
he a son of "Daniel Lambert" 102, and an inbred Morgan, for
these who like this out-cross, he is one of the best that could
have been secured. Mr. Shippee has always had a great
deal of faith in the Morgan Stock, and some few years ago.
purchased in Vermont, an entire carload of the very best
that could be purohased; that he made no mistake can read-
ily be seen, when one looks over their descendants now run-
ning at large over the acreage of Oaklawn.

Mr. Shippee has also a very well formed colt by "Haw-
thorne" out of a "Nutwood" mare, which particularly pleased
the writer, he showing plenty of bone and muscle, great sub-
stance, and is a perfect picture of the borBe now idoliz9d
at the Stoat Bros.' Stock Farm at Dnbnque, Iowa.

As the beautiful creatures passed us, notes were made of
the following, which constitnte but a very small portion of
the animals now at Oaklawn.

Editor Beeeder and Sportsman:— I must beg your in-
dulgence while I give expression to my admiration of the
masterly manrerin whioh Mr. Wilfred Page defends the ex-
cellent programme lately adopted by the Board of the P. C.
T. H. B. A. and advocates equal rights among the horse
breeders of this coast.

It has been .the tear of the very condition of things which
Mr. Page so ably denounces and condemns, and which the
lately adopted programme is designed to avoid that has de-
terred many small breeders fiom joining the association.
There has been a seeming tendency toward the establishment
oi a kind of horss aristocraoy in this State.

It has been claimed, and perhaps not without good reason,
that discriminations are made against small breeders at fairs
in the awarding of premiums, and that the representatives of
oertain farms and horse families are often the recipients of
undeserved favors to the injury and disparagement of leas
prominent breeders and Bires. I do not assert these things
as facts, but inasmuch as they are quite current among
horsemeD, there must be some foundation for them. If Mr.
Page and the rest of the directors of the Association continue
to govern their aotions by a policy of tqual rights among
breeders they will have the hearty endorsement and co-oper-
ation of all fair minded horsemen, their membership will be-
come greatly augmented, and it will become a still more
potent factor for promoting the horse breeding interests of
this coast. Let the Association discountenance any policy
that tends to foster the growth of an aristocracy, and let it
be governed by principles purely democratic, and its success

The Doctriae of "Impregnation by
Strains" and the Theory of the
"Control of Sex."

bys Prophylactic Fluid.

ness of the jointB.

Mr. Fred W. Loeber, in the issue of this paper dated Feb-
rnary 1st, refers to my comments upon the theory of Mr. C.
Brace Lowe, as advanced by him some weeks since. The
slight attention I paid to Mr. Lowe's idea was done in a spir-
it of good natured raillery, thoagh I consider what I stated
to be troth.

Mr. Loeber does not seem to just comprehend what I
meant. I shall now enter into a disoussion of the subjeot, of
sufficient length, and I trust of sufficient clearness, to have
my position definitely understood.

Mr. Lowe quoted the instance of a thoroughbred mare that
was bred to a thoroughbred horse. The mare, we are given
to understand, was the stoutest and best bred of the two, the
stallion being considered as Becond class. Mr. Lowe says the
brst colt was a racehorse; the second one not quite so good;
the third inferior to the second, until wheo the fourth, fifth
and sixth foals were reached, it is said they were only com-
mon pings, in point of speed, ranking even below ordinary
selling platers. The reason ascribed for all this is that the
mare controlled the characteristics of the first colt, but wheo
continuously bred to this horse she lost her prepotency, the
horse gradually assuming control, tbe horse being inferior to
the mare, the colts kept growing worse. The reason of the
mare's losing her prepotency, Mr. Lowe says, is that she
was gradually ' impre gnated by the Bire's strains through the
foal's circulation previous to birth." According, then, to thiB
theory, this mare was inoculated by thia horse (through the
foal's circulation previous to birth) to such an extent that
she lost her own individuality; no longer showed htr line of
ancestry or her own racing proclivities, but her offspring
were an exact counterpart of the stallion.

Now, presumiBg this mare, after having been bied to this
horse, aud having become so impregnated with hiB inferior-
ity as to be unable to produce a good colt, should be bred to
a good horse, a horse of great excellence, what then? Sim-
ply this, she would be unable to bear a good colt to the cover
of this horse — at least for two or three years. Why? Be-
cause it would take that length of time to overcome the in-
ferior impregnation derived from the first stallion. Neither
could this mare exert any of her own individuality in the
rirst or second colts by the secoud stallion. Why? Because
her own characteristics would have received an overlay of in-
feriority from the first horse that would preclude the exer-
cisal of her own good qualities, until this inferiority was
gradually dispelled and absorbed by the impregnation of the
second horse.

Does anybody believe this? I certainly do not! Yet it is a
reasonable deduction, 60 plain as to not even invite criticism.
That this theory is not true, I have every reason to believe,
as I have witnessed a practical demonstration of its imper-
fections dozens of iini'-s.

I have followed the "impregnation of sire strains idea" for
severalyears, and have made it a point to get all that has been
written upon the subject, for Mr. Lowe is not the first man
to advance the idea.

I have followed the idea of "controlling sex at will," my
experiments and the experiences of others tending to show
conclusively that the man does not live that can contol sex
in horses.

I may therefore, with out egotism, claim some little know-
ledge regarding both of these alleged theories.

I may say that no Buch thing ad Mr. Lowe claims is ever
witnessed m the human family — with possibly a few excep-
tions.

We have all heard the saying that very smart men seldom
have very smart sons! If Mr. Lowe's theory was applicable
to tbe human race, that saying would be reversed, for if a
man of great learning and intellectuality were to have say six
children, the sixth being a son, that son should be the father
right over, in personal appearance, mannerismB and intel-
lect.

Mr- Loeber does not believe that tbe appearance of a Jack
or a Zebra or a Quaggy could affect the brain and organism
of a mare at copulation, to such extent that the strangeness
of their appearance would come to her mind at some sub-
sequent breeding.

To carry out this thought he says that I may pick five or
ten mares of any ' off" color, barring pmtoes, and breed
them too Whippleton, and if all the coitB are not bay, brown
or black, he will charge nothing for the horses' service.

Well, does tbat prove the idea I advanced to be incorrect?
Certainly not, for it is simply aside issue. Does Mr. Loeber
see no difference between a stallion and a Jack, in the effect
left upon a mare? The horse iB of her own kind, the Jack
is not. I have seen mares so badly scared when a Jack
would attempt to cover them that it took three or four men
to hold them. These mares were not young either, had been
bred before, and if a horse had come np to them they would
not have moved out of their tracks.

Now, let me give a practical illustration of the "impreg-
nation with sire strains" theory. I will presume a certain
mare bred to Director for seven years! She might not be
worth $7 to start with. Her first colt would not be much
good, for Director could not do it all; the second would be a
trifle better; the third quite a trotter- but when we got the
seventh we had a Bare enough race horse, of high speed and
courage. Why? Because the mare had beoome thoroughly
impreg ated wiih Director's strains by the time the seventh
foal saw the light. She was in effect inoculated with the
blood of Director, the word "blood" signifying the trotting
instinct, the courage and the ability to train on possessed
by Director. As & breeder, then, this mare would be essen-
tially Director, having acquired, through constant service by
him for a number of years, aperpoteucy stronger than woald
be possessed by one of his own dangbters!

At this junctare we will switch off and breed the mare to
some fairly bred young sire that has no record and has never
Bired a trotter. The result of this cross, I will assume, is a
great young trotter. Where does the speed come from ? From
this yonng sire directly, or from -Director indirectly? The
"impregnation" theory would tend to prove mat Director
was theBource.

It would therefore appear that no stallion could be tested,
as a speed producer, if bred to a mare that had previously
bad a colt! To secure an accurate test he would, of neces-
sity, have to be coupled with a mare that had never been
bred, or he would have to cover a mare a sufficient number
of vears to invalidate aoy tendency previously implanted by
someother horse. It would seem unnecessary to pursue this
subject farther.

As for superiority of pretotency, in either aire or dam, l
believe the following rules, whioh were published some years
ago, for the first time I tbiuk, in an Eastern horse paper, to
be as nearly correct, and to embody as muoh truth as could
be got into the same space. It will be understood that there
are occasionally exceptions to all rules.

THE LAWS OF HEREDITY.

1. That from the main parent is mainly derived the exter
nal structure, configuration aud oatward characteristics, al-
so tbe locomjtive system of development.

2. From the female parent is derived the internal structure,
the vital organs, and in a much greater proportion, than from
the male, the constitution, temper and habits, in which en-
durauce and bottom are included.

3. That the purer the race of the parent, the more certainty
there is of its transmitting its qualities to the offspring; say
two animals are mated, if one is of purer descent than the
other, he or she will exercise the influence in stamping the
character of the progeny, Darticularly if tbe greater purity is
on the side of the male.

4. That, apart from certain disturbing influences or causes,
tbe male, if of pure race, and descended from a stock of
uniform color, stamps the color of the offspring.

5. That tbe influence of the first male is not infrequently
protracted beyond the birth of the offrpring of which he is
the parent and his mark is left upon subsequent progeny.

6. That the transmission of diseases of the vital organs is
more certain if on the other side of the female, and diseases
of tbe joints if od the side of the male parent.

The above Bix laws are in the great majority of cases, cor-
rect. We have all seen horses of great speed eruioa'e from the
coupling of a fast and game stallion and a mare of neither
speed nor gameueas. This showB that Rule 2 is open to ex-
ception, but all of them represent the facts of the case in
nearly all instances.

Several years ago IJbred a brown mare to a bay horse. The
produce was a perfectly black filly. I bred the Bame mare to
a grey horse. The produce was a light bay Glly! Every
horseman has seen, and probably in many instances had the
same experience. It was Bimply an exemplification of the
law of reversal. I do not believe that a mare can give any-
thing to a colt that she herself does not possess. She might
be "impregnated" from time immemorial, but the offspring
would Btill represent in appearance, disposition and speed, its
sire and dam or their ancestors.

If Mr. Lowe's theory be correct, a mare could be bred to a
jack sufficiently long to become thoroughly inoculated, each
succeeding foal resembling the jack more and more, until the
last foal would be a little jackass inBtead of a mule.

Every man who knows muoh concerning hort*e breeding
is well aware that some stallions impress their own image and
characteristics upon their progeny in a much more marked
manner than do others. This trait we term prepotency.
This prepotency arises from several different causes, such as
extreme vigor and strength, strong inbreeding; certain traits
that have been handed down from sire to son, generation af-
ter generation, until they become a fixed attribute, etc., etc.
Thia is also applicable of mares under similar conditions. "When
therefore, one of the above described stallions is bred to any
ordinary mare tbe offspring will be a miniature of him.
"When a mare of similar discription is coupled with any ordi-
nary stallion, she con trolls the appearance and disposition of
the progeny. Lady Patriot, dam of Volunteer; Sentinel 2:29$,
Marksman, Hertzel's Hambletonian, Heroine, etc., practically
verifies this statement. Her influence upon Volunteer was
very marked, and not only upon him, but his descendants as
well. It is claimed that in all her produce and most of their
descendants could be seen the impress of this truly great
mare. Most of her colts were sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian,
and strange to say none of them resembled the old horse as
much as her grandson, Shawmut 2:26. Shawmut was Bired
by Harry Ciav :45, his dam being Heroine, by Hambletonian
out of Lady Patriot. Every line of Shawmut shows Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, from ears to tail. Thia is again the law of
reversal.

I shall briefly notice the "controlling of sex" theory. The
most ingenious writer upon this subject that I have read is
Thomas 3. Armitage. His theory is that the germ of the
male is always female and the germ of the female always male,
therefore, the one of the parents tbat was in the highest
state of vigor and strength would control the sex. Thus he
said a horse that was kept idle while in the stud, fed highly,
allowed to get fat and gross, would certainly beget fillies, with
rare exceptions, as tbe mares to whom he was bred were in
likelihood used aB road horses, and were consequently much
"harder and in better physical health than the horse." To
rtise fillies, the dam should be reduced to a state of "inuocu-
ous dissuetude," made as week and flabby as possible, and
tbe foul would certainly be a female. He was clever in his
illustrations and forcible in his argnments, tut for all that,
who does not know that his control of Bex theory is a myth,
a chimerea, that is reflected by the imagination of man, as a
mirage is reflected through refraction of the lower strata of
the atmosphere opon the desert? Who has not seen this
theory controverted under exactly the conditions Mr. Armi-
tage mentions? But so long aa the world stands just so long
will men have "theories." This, I presume is as it should
be, for the world owes more to theorists than to those who
are content to move along year after year in the same
groove, having nothing and wanting nothing, content as long
as the blue vault hangs overhead, the sun and stars shine,
birds sing, and flowers blow, for all these conditions whisper
to them that this "plane between two eternities" dons the
same grabyear after year, and why should they aspire to su-
periority.

for keeping a gambling house. There were two former in-
dictments recorded against him, and to Becure his liberty he
was required to give bail in $5,000.

A number of horse dealers in this country are doing a great
deal of injury to the foreign demand for American horses by
sending abroad a lot of played out and unsound trotters.
This is a shortsighted policy that injures not only therogueB
but unfortunately the reputable honest breeder and dealers
as well.

Chas. Marvin the well known Palo Alto Superintendent
will have his book on training trotiers in print nest month.
It should have any amount of valuable matter, the result of
careful experience and long practice in the art of training
trotters, in which business Marvin has proved himself facile
princeps.

The month of March promises the greatest outpouring of
richly bred trotting stook upon the New York auction mar-
ket that has ever before been seen in a single month in any
locality. California is better represented than any slate in the
Union, and the Rancho Del Paso entries will astonish even
the California Breeders.

Many, horsemen— and they are horsemen in other respects
— will insist in describing horaps by the same sire as half
brothers. It does not go. In just the same way they say he
will be three years old (or whatever age it maybe) in Dune,
the first of January settles the age of a colt, and to be half
brothers they must be out of one and the same mare.

The English, Germans, French, Italians and South Ameri-
cans, have become regular patrons of our trotting markets.
The American trotting horse will be in greater demand than
ever, and the immense sums invested in breeding interests
will pay as handsome dividends as almost any other legitmate
business enterprise. The trotters hold the *'age" and there
is no limit to the game.

How is this for high? At the recent Melbourne Agricul-
tural Show, Spondnlix, a bay gelding, won the 12st hunters'
prize with a jump of 6ft. 3Jin Last year the same horse se-
cured the same award with 6ft., and in 1887 also won with a
leap of 6ft. Jin. At the Chicago Horse Show last November.
RoBeberry, a four year old chestnut gelding, cleared a bar 6ft
llf in., high The performances of both these animals are au-
thenticated.

"What they want herein England," writes John Splan,"
is a 'cobby' built horse or mare: must be good gaited, able to
draw weight, wear no boots or toe weights; for that kind of a
horse that can step a 2;40 gait or better there are plenty of
customers at long prices. They want sound horseB, and are
much better judges of sound horses than we are. One or
two of the most influential newspapers are intending to make
a strong effort to have trotting introduced here. What the
newspapers here endorse is bound to succeed."

Reveille, B. C. Holly's son of Shiloh is well known as the
sire of Gladstone, one of the crack sprinters taken east by
Albert Cooper, Tycoon and other well known racehorses.
Last week Reveille inadvertently appeared among trotting
sires. If his trotters (have not heard of any) should turn
out as speedy and reliable as his runners, racing men would
soon have several, tor his fee is only $25, and forgetting run-
ners he is the cheapest sire in the list. Mr. Holly should
raise to $75, for he haB proved himself a sire among sires.

A Chicagoan intimates to the St. Louis Sporting News that
Budd Doble will have Maud S. out for exhibition mileB next
season, and that the peerlesB queen will aocompany his
stable through a grand circuit, aud if just right at any of
the fast tracks will be sent to beat her own record 2:0rJ. It
is believed that Mr. Bonner while owning both of the great
mares, Sunol and Maud S., would very muoh prefer that the
latter should remain the world's fastest trotter, and to this
end every chance will be given her.

Miss Russell is twenty-six years old, and is in foal this
season to King Wilkea, 2:22i. Her two-year-old colt by
Electioneer, who will do his first stud servioe this year, has
been appropriately named Re-election. Like his dam his
color is gray, and he resembles her in other ways, in fact ha
is more like her than any foal she ever dropped. After re-
maining in the siud for several seasons, be will be handled
and driven to a record. He is highly prized at Woodburn,
and will never be sold, as only recently his owner refused to
set a price on him.

The gray gelding Jack is not the model of a trotting horse,
and he would not be selected by an artist to represent the
ideal light harness horse of America. Still he has a record
of 2:15, made in 1889, and his owner, George Middleton, has
issued a challenge that he will match Jack against any trotter
in the world for from $5,000 to $15,000 a side.

Trainer McCabe appears to take even more interest in the
horses in his charge than their owners. He spends his en-
tire time at -work and seldom leaves his stable. When his
horses are taken out for exercise McCaby will be found rid-
ing a tailender and watching the movements of those in
front. The Dwyers' entire string may be seen on parade
along the Brooklyn Boulevard from the Park to Coney In-
land every day at this season.

To change the name of a horse having a record requires a
fee of $50 to be paid to the American Trotting Horse Asso-
ciation, and when the eame horse trots or paces under the
National Association the owner again has to pav a fee of $50.
It would seem to be the fair thing that a rule Bhonld be
adopted so that fo pay $r>0 in either association would make
the animal eligible to both. By the way, it Beeins to me the
racing associations, if ever they have a governing body,
shouid insi&t on a big fee for changing names.

In regard to native half-bred horses, vary evident does it
appear that ttere are no gronndB for tne alarmist feeling that
prevailed not long since as to their alleged scarcity. The
Right Hon. E. Stanhope, in a speech recently delivered in
Lincolnshire, was compelled to admit that Great Britain and
Ireland can supply ample material for cavalry mounts, and
that there will be no need in future to look abroad for avail-
able horses to serve tbat object. A register was some time
since established for owners of British horseB for sale to en-
ter them, with their prices, on condition tnat the Army
authoiities may take them at any time they may be needed,
and, according to Mr. Stanhope, no fewer than 14,000 have
baen registered.

The British Board of Trade returns show that during the
eleven months of last year, ending with November, 13,255
horses of the valne of £932,508 were exported, against 12,045
valued ac £793,731, for the corresponding period of 1888.
During the past eleven mouths British North America took
from ns 1384 stallions aod 1188 mares; the United States
624 Btallions and 418 mares; Belgium 15 stallions and 884
mares; Holland 31 stallions and 700 mares; France 79 stal-
lions and 434 mares; and other countries 846 stallions and
1733 mares. Imports of horses have increased likewise, the
numbers received in t^.e eleven months of this year being
13.335. valued at £263,111, against 11,123, of the value of
£186,737, for the corresponding period of 1888.

George Kinney who has made such a m rk in the stud last
year, (his first season's foals which have raced) is the proper-
ty of N. T. Harris, Kentucky. Mr. Haggin who sold Kinney
has an elder brother in John Happy, whose colts have the
true Scotland appearance. Mr. Harris who hhs bben in New
Orleans says he has 22 yearlings which will be sold in New
York. Eighteen are by Geo. Kinney, two by Neptune, one by
Leonatus and one by Saracen. The latter has not been given
much chance in the stud, but Mr. Harris is confident of his
ability to get race horses, and will give him more opportunity
to prove it hereafter. Among the Kinneys are a sister to
Flyaway, a brother to Grayson, a colt out of Batchelor's Prin-
cess, a filly out of Olivette, a tilly out of Princess Ban, a colt
out of a sister to Blazes, a filly out of the grandam of Dew
Drop and others. They are a handsome lot.

Mr. Harris last Bpring purchased a tilly by Longfellow, out
of Augusta, a Bister to Persimmons. She has shown so
well that Mr: Harris haB named her Louisiana,, in honor of
his native State. She is now two years old and is well en-
tered. Sam Bryant is training her.

The stakes of the Louisville Jockey Club which will be
run at the Spring meeting, commencing May 14th, are as fol-
lows: The Hurstbourne Stake, five-eighths of a mile, for two-
year-old fillies, 53 entries; the Alexander stake, nve-eighthB
of a mile, for two-year old colts, 43 entries; the Runnymede
stake, three-quarter mile dash, for two-year-old colts and
fillies, 47 entries; the Delbech haudicap, for three-year-olds
and upwards, one and one-sixteenth miles, closed with 30
entries; the Merchants' handicap, for three-year-olds and
upwards, closed with 27 entries; the Kentucky Jack Pot
stakes, for three- year-olds and upwards, 14 entries; the Ken-
tucky Derby, for three-year-old colts and fillies, ha* 1 11 en-
tries; the Kentucky Oaks, for tbres-year-old fillies, has S7
entries; the Clark stakes, for three-year-old colts and fillies,
has 100 entries. The meeting last nine days, and $30 000 will
be added in stakes and purses. Spokane and Proctor Knott,
with Maori, Fairy Queen, Brandolette, Clara, Nevada. Hypo-
crite, Bettioa and Ballyhoo, Famine, Unite and Milton, ap-
pear in the handicaps. There are many stables training
there, and by March 1st, nearly 200 horses will be quartered
at the track.

While in Sacramento last week after looking at several
of the runners I took a glance through W. Field Smith's
stable which is suitably located close to the main entrance
to the track and includes a long s'able, neatly filled up with
several box stalls, and two or three adjacent lots iu whioh
some of the youngsters are occasionally turned out. The
Stable was a model of neatness and order, indicating at once
that a careful supervision was exercised over everything. Mr.
Smith who was disengaged kindly showed me round the
stables and expatiated on the horses whioh looked in very
good trim, a neat raoy looking two-year-old filly Felucoa, is by
Guy Wilkes 2:15J out of Cora by Buccaneer, grand dam Pearl
by Blue Bull. Mr. Smith solri Cora to Mr. Oorbitt last year.
The three year old Kalibarwitba trueSultan bead is in every
respect a grand looking three year old having goodshould-
ders and a strong back with splendid legs and feet. He is a
powerful bay colt and has done 6ome fastwork. He is by Guy
Wilkos 2:15J, dam by Sultan, grand dam Inf z 2:30 by the Moor.
Mr. Smith who is one of our most successful trainers is well
known all over the State for his straightforward driving, while
having been almost bred in the business, he should certainly
not lack experience, and is reputed— and worthily bo—
one of the most careful enlightened trainers of either old or
young horses; Thapsiu, and many others having been suc-
cessfully campaigned bv him for several seasons. Owing to
Thapsin's break up at the Bay District last fall, from whioh
place he has never been fit to be removed, Mr. Smith has
not yet. a horse tit to start in the 2:20 class but it is dollars to
cpnts that he has one or two in his string when the bell rings
t tiat will bear watching, and the public will be pleased to
hear it, for they always have a saver on Wilbur's entry be-
cause, as a well known bettor and owner Raid ''loekaow him
and consequently can rely on him. 'Multum in jyarvo*
it expressed everything, implicit belief in his ability and also
in his integrity, and don't yon forget it; it is not misplaced.

Messrs. Clay & Woodford, of the Ruunymede Stud Farm,
Ky., will breed tea high class th"ionyhbrtd mares to Col. It.
G. Sittuer's noted trottiog stallion Mambrino Russell. The
event is an important one m the trotting hon-e world, and
wiJl be watched with great interest by all horoe breeders.

W. M. Murry's three-year-old Kiro is moving in grand
style now, and should be a good colt by the time racing
starts. He worked a mile on the extreme outside of the Sac-
ramento track in better thau two minutes, which is about
equivalent to 1:49, a little fast for this lime of year.

B. C. Holly writes me that Fusillade's Last foaled a racy

looking chestnut cult by bid, while Irish Lass (»i>h a mile

rec <rd of I:44£) foaled a brown colt by Woodnut 2:16£. Che
latter is called Marcus Daly, aud the former Fusilier.

Georga Walbauta the eastern bookmaker has evidently
determined to have a select stable. Already he has purchas-
ed Badge, Blue Rock, Sorrento, Kenwood, Foltom, Bradford,
Mayor Nonan, and about a dozen others. Bergen is his
jockey for this season.

Steps have been taken to lorm a driving club in St. Paul.
There are to be 100 charter members, mosi of vhom now be-
long to the Minnesota Club The uew organization, which
will be modelled alier the Washington Park Club, proposes
to hang up $20,000 for a Fourth ot July trotting meeting.

R. A. Swigert proposes to take his yearling colt by Glenelg,
out of Lidy Wayward, and calleu Garisbad, tu Europe this Fail
or next Spring aud iry to capture fame ami foitune io English
races with him. He considers him the best thoroughbred
yearling he ever saw, and expects him to be a "world beater,"
in every way equal to Donovan.

The employes of the Dwyer Brothers' racing stable, who
make up what is called the Red and Blue Social Club heln
their anuual ball at the Town Hall io Graveteud last week.
Hardy Campbell, the trainer of the Dwyers second division
is the president of the club and Jockey Neumeytr is its Fin-
ancial Secretary.

A deed from the Maryland Jockey club to Oden Bowie,
Hubert 0. Hall and John S. Gittmg-, convewngall of its pro-
perty to them was recorded in the (Klerk's office of the Super-
ior Court at Baltimore, Md., Jan. 28. The property will be
sold and the proceeds divided among the members.

The old trotting track at Saugos, Mass., known as Frank-
lin Park was sold on Jan. 29 to Eiward Beflernau, of Lynn,
Mass., for the small sum of §17,650. The track is a full
mile m circumference, and is one of the fastest in New Eug-
land. It was built, in 1855 and has been the scene of some
important match trots.

The following three highlybred trotters have recently died
in Montana: St. Val b c2 by Electioneer.dam by Geo. "Wilkes
Marcus Daly paid $5000 for him as a weanling; Maximus b c
2 by Maxim, dani by Smuggler, being a full brother to Lady
Maxim, 4. 2:26; he was owned by Huntley & Clark, as wa»
also b f Montana Maid 2 by Maxim, dam by Mambrino Pat-
ohen.

W. B. Carr, in conjunction with several other well known
local land owoers, purpose building a race track at Bakers-
held. The laudis alreadyselecied and is beantifully located
about a mile from town. Their motto is nulli tecundus and
they will act up to it in furui-hing and adorning their track
with hue shade trees and ornate grand stands.

It ha^ been a doubtful point whether the New Jersey Jock-
ey Club would have a Biake race at its spring meeting to be-
gin Apr.l 15th. Although no programme has jet been form-
ulated, Btakes for two year olds and older horses will be pre-
pared, and Secretary Mclntyre will announce them about
March 1st, the stakes to close probably about April 1st.

It is reported that Wru. Rockefeller has decided to sell hiH
entire ftud and plough up his (rack, one of the best half
mile speeding places in New England. Independence (2.21^),
by Gen Knox, and Wild R-.ke (ihtee year old record 2:22$),
are at the head of Mr. Rockeleller's stud. The broodmares
include Kate Sprague (2:18), Cleora (2;18|), Urvanna Belle
(2:204), Calamns (2:24£), Enchantress (2:264), and otherB.

While the trotting aud light harness entries do not abate
in the Kidd Edcuousun & Morse sale, the draft horse entries
are Btill booming. Many large importers of Clydesdale,
Shire, Percheron and French Coach Horses have already
made liberal consignments, with many moie to hear from.
Parlies having any class of draft horses to dispose of should
embrace this opportunity and make toeir entries, while on
the other hand any one requiring draft horses should be
present and purchase.

The breaking up of the Rostnieade stud brings under the
hammer in New Ycrk next month one of the best lot of
horses, from a breeders' standpoint, that was ever sold iu
one sale. The Rusemeade mares are by Guy "Wilkes, Ken-
tucky Prince, Alcyone, Sweepstakes, Director, Electioneer,
Nut woo , Arthurton, The Moor, etc , and many of them are
in foal to Stamboul, 2:12±, and Alcazar. 2:20J. The latter
himself will be sold, and also a full bruther to the noted
Mascot, the youngest fua! of Minnehaha.

The money record made by the Dwyers since they left
their botcher's stand in Washington Market to go on the
turf, says a correspondent in the Richmond Times, is curi-
ous. Iuside of fourteen years their best horses have won
them in stakes $960,593. £ herd in no aocount of bets in this
amount. Hanover alone won $121,102: Miss Woodlord
$118 305; Geo. Kinney $64,660; Hindoo £62,075; Kingston
$57,335; Inspector B. $56,837; Luke Blacsburn $47,475;
Tremont $40 450; LoDRStreet $38,390; Sir Dixon $37,740;
KingriBh$36,6 0; Dew Drop $28,170; Bella B. $27,785; Bes-
sie June $27,705.

It is said that while these btupendous efforts are being
made to accomplish record breaking speed results with the
light harness hor^e, an equally lucrative branch of boroe
breeding is being negltcied — that of tine coach and carriage
horses. "Where there ate thousands of men glad to pay for a
trotter juat for tun on the road, there are tens of thousands
who want style instead of speed. One of the first things a
traveller notices iu England is the grand equipages that can
be seen in and about London. Speed is not the aim theie:
style, action, quality and durability are what is sought and
what they will have at any coot.

People, and even racegoers, seem not to notice the differ-
ence between December 31st and January 1st. For at least
two months before the 1st of January fully 50 percent, of the
raceB contested over the winter tracts in the East waie won
by two year olds. Since the youngsters have become three
year olds, however, thty have changed form to such an ex-
tent that but few of tbem can win even place money. With
au advantage of tweuty-three pounds iu weight, to which
they were not entitled, it was not surprising that they
showed such wonderful winning form; but where is their
great form now when carrying their proper weight?

The btallion Mambrino SUrtle, full brother to Mejolica,
2:15, and who has already sired several 2:30 trotterB, is being
jigged on the road by his owner, Mr. David Bonner of New
York City. He is equally clever in single harness or to the
pole, and will be trained nest t-priug for the purpose of giv-
ing him a record better than 2:30, after which he w.ll again
enter the stud. His brother Majolua is to be sold at auction
in New York before long. It is a good many years since he
made his record of 2:15, and now one of hiB legs is in such
a condition that he can never be trained again.

Horsemen are devoting a good deal of time to the worship
of Terpsichore just now. The Dwyer Brothers' employees
had their annual ball last week at Gravesend, and later in the
week the United Trainers and Jockeys' Association, of
which James McLaughlin, the famous jockey, is President,
danced at 1 ammany Hall. On the evening of Maicb 7th
the Clifton Club of horsemen, known as the C. W. PrimiOae
Association, will dance at Washington Hall in Paterson.

Mr. W. R. Allen, proprietor of the Southern Hotel in St.
Louis, and the great Allen Stock Farm, Pittsrield, Mass.,
writes: "I would h*ve preferred aud would have so ordered
if I could that my name did not appear in connection with
the monument to Green Mountain Maid. It was Mr. Back-
man's idea, and to him belongs all the honor that may be in
it. I hope he understands the matter. Friendly feeling for
him iodnced me to do it and not any desire to secure no-
toriety for myself."

A sad case of the downfall ot a thoroughbred evinced at
the last English Der y, when a ca^mm was summoned
for drivii g a horse to this event which was m a totally un-
fit &tme for work, the poor animal being so weak he could
hardly crawl. Iu the evidence it came to light that he had
run iu ihe Derby of 1874 under the name of Tne Hopeful
Datchmau. True, he was last, bnt this does not lighten
the sadness of the Btory.

If Spokane's leg doe3 not give way this season, it is thought
that he will add to bis lecord made as a three vear old iu the
Kentucky Deiby and the L.itouia and Clark stakes. A
great feature about this horse is bis even temper, and to this
may be added his intelligence and obe.iience. Spokane does
not get nervous if several false starts are made, but takes
things as coolly and unconcerned as though he were not in
a tace.

Messrs. Hunll^y <te Clark, Riverside Farm, Toston, Mon"
tana, recently lost the bay colt Maxima s (full brother to
Lady Maxim 2.26), foaled 18S8. by Maxim, dam Lady Graves,
(flam of Laoy M xim 2:26, Hailstorm 2:31. and Vera 2:34)

hoit.

Agent Brodhead, of Wood burn Farm, has reached the con-
clusion that thoroughbred blood does more than sustain the
trotting aolion: it also intensifies it, and ib rtally to some ex-
tent also a trotting cross. "Our consideration of this fact,"
observes the Sp'-rc-mao, "has led us to believe the point well
taken for it is a matter of fact that the thoroughbred knows
only two ways of going, he trota or runs, and does not re-
quired to be converted to either."

The thoroughbied stallions now doing service at the princi-
pal breeding establishments m Kentucky are nearly all get-
ting well along in years. Pat Malloy is 25 years old, Glenelg
24, Longfedow and Kingfisher 23 each. Glen Alhol and Har-
ry 0'F.Jlon 21 each. The Ill-Used, Springbok and Fellow-
craft 20 each, King Alfonso, Woonland and Lelaps 18 each.
Bullion 17. Li-bon, Outcast and Moccasin 16 each. Blue Eyes
and Hiujyar 15 each, Falsetto, Jils Job.^ou, Stiathmore,
Spendthrift aud Yullumo 14 eacb, Elias L> wrence and Duke
of Momrose 13 each, Hindoo 12, Powhaltao, Onondaga anrt
Ma:doff 11 each, aud George Kinney, Leonatus and St.
Blaise 10 each.

Henry Brown, one of the most widely knowD colored train-
ers of the race-horses in America, died on the 31st of Jan.,
after a short illness. He was for years the late James A.
Grinstead's trainer, aud with that gentleman handled many
noted horses, among them btiug such famous performers as
Lila'.uuah, Bradamante, (dam of The Bard), Pinafore, Jaok
Haverly, Mistake and many others well known on the turf.
Of late years he has been training a public stable and in this
line he was most distinguished for the campaign he made in
1888 was that good horse Autocrat In bis eaily days he
was a jockey of by no means small distinction. He was
about 70 years old.

The leading editorial in the Montreal, P. Q., Sporting
Life, of Jan 27, is as folio *s: "With thib present number
the issue of the Sporting Life under tbe prt-s^ut manage-
ment coiue-i to a close. Negotiations are now pending fur its
sale, and we trust will be concluded in time to permt of its
continuing to come out without a break. We once more
dusire to thank our readers for their kindness and courtesy
to us all round, although more than two thirds of their sub-
scriptions never reached our hands, having been embezzled
by our absconding collector, W. A. Daniels We may say
that we would not exiradite this miserable swindler if we
could. All tbe horse editor yearns for is a quiet and unin-
terrupted quarter of an hour with him. At the olose of
that period be states he would offer a prize of $10 to any one
who could identify him".

A carload of horses arrived from Hartford, Conn., last
week, iu charge of "Father Bill" Daly, had as passengers
the Dwy»-r Brothers' well known racers Hanover, Sir Dixon
and Bessie June. They were all in prime condition, having
recovered from the effects of the blisters applied to their legs
by \lr. Daly personally, to whom the Dwyers intrusted the
delicate work. Mi McCabe will at once take them iu haud
and get them in condition for the early spring races. In-
spector B.. L:jng Inland and C ngre-s wilt remain on the
Hartford farm u- til about the 1-t of April. Mr, Daly ex
p HB hisbor-eB The Bourbm and DrbHDa to anive in New
York from Hartford to-day. Fatter Bill thinks he has a
coup e of good two-yt-ar-obls in B-st B. y. by Pen Broeck —
Hiuhhyer. ami Lizzie, a blly, by St. Blai-e — £\u Folbt. The
latter ran a quarter wuh Wynne, weighing 142 pound*, iu
the saddle, in 0:24i. Best Boy is said to have beaten Glory
a head in a three-eighths of a mile trial at Hartford in 0:35J.

I see no reason why a thoroughbred should Dot be as level
headed as a cold blooded fellow. They are apt to have more
courage, endurance and spirit, but if oroperly handled will
act just as well as their half or quarter bred compeers. I
had in 1854 a I ay geldiug, says C. W. Kennedy cf Montgom-
ery, Ala., by imp. Riddlesworth, out of imp. Allegrante,
bred by Mr. Clay, who could trot in three minutes only, but
he could go all day. He was kind and level headed as any
horse I ever broke to harness, but I did not undertake, as
a creat many drivers do, to make him do just aB I wished.
No; I listened to him when he spoke (by his actions) as any
seosible trained horseshould do. Themanwho will notnotice
what his horses say to him should never undertake to train
either a rnDner or trotter. When I visit a stable and see a
horse fighting the currycomb I make up my mind at once
that the manager is not the man for his place.

There are fourteen daughters of Lexington among the 83
broodmares now in the celebrated Woooburn stud. Tbe old-
est of these mares is in her 26th year, and the youneest 18
>ears old. The following is a list of these highly prized ma-
trons: Bonita (d..m of Apothecary and Bannach Lath), Cru-
cibx (nam of Fair P. ay. Blanche J., Qoito, St, Albans and St.
Augustine), Geneva (dam of Silvio. Greys'one and Blue
Stone, Hester (dam of Springbok, Ahpinwall and Panama), In-
di-i (dam of C- thcart, Oalcaita and Gallifet), Jamaica (dam of
Foxhall), Lilly Duke (dam of Water L'lly, Lizzie Dwyer aud
Rose). Marguerite (dam of Katie Creel, Macola and Lizzie
E ), Miranda (dam of Little Minnie, Carey and Miracle). Mol-
he Wood foam of S-gamore, Golden G*te, Wood! rk and
Falcon), Queen Victoria (^am of Albert. Qj. ecu's Own, In-
fanta and Jennie T ), Quickstep (dam of Cromwell and False
Step), Veritas (dam of Lady Prewitt and Vera), and Zephyr
(dam of Edwin Aaams Weslwind, Falsehood and Cyclone).
Of the other mares at Woodburn fifteen are granddaughters
of Lexington and eighteen are bis great-giauddaughters.

Jimmy McLaughlin has acknowledged that he was a failure
as a starter, says the St. LouU Republic. It seem-* to be
very diffi.-ult to find a man who can throw the flag or tap the
drum wisely and well. Mt-n of worth who are above su-pic-
iou, and likewise possessed of vast turf experience, have
gone to the post an • made signal failures. Col. Bob Simmons,
now the presidiog officer at New Oileans, threw np the posi-
tion in diHgust. Col. Clark, president of the L .uisville
Jockey Club, has made several ineffectual trials C«pt. W.
E. Conner probably did Dftter thau most men who have
essayed the task of controlling jockeys at the post and tel-
ling the steeds away in good shape, but he prononnced him-
self a rank failure. Jacob Pincus never could start horses,
and made but very few trials. Mr. Ferguson, of Lexiogton,
did fair work here and io other Westerncities.bat waB
berated soundly at Jerome Park. Mr. Caldwell frequently
comes in for an indignant outburst from the press aud pub-
lic, while Mr Sheridan frequently makes some wretched
starts. Mr. Caldwell has probably stood tbe test better than
any other man who has ever filled the unpleasant position of
starter. It is stated that, though be is far from perfect and
does not seem to have bo much bnld on the j 'tkt-ys as he
should, hf is the only man available for the Eastern tracks.
Perhaps Mr. Sheridan comes next, but he is a bad second,
and it is fair to presume that Mr. Ferguson, in spite cf his
dismal failure at Jerome last year, is third.

Since the weights for the Suhurhao and Brooklyn handi-
caps came out the World has interviewed ninny well known
racing men. Among those who expressed their views are. —

S'arter Caldwell — Racehmd should wineither the Brooklvn
Handicap or Suburban He could have won the latter event
last year even with 128 pounds up.

Polo Jim — Raceiani has a chance for tbe Brooklyn Handi-
cap, but my choice for the Suburban is Rrtri*-ve or Firenzi.

Jim McGowan — I like Badge for the Brooklyn Handicap,
thongh he is not ovtr fund of going a mile and a quarter.

Bdly Lakeland — Racelandwill beat any horse in the Brook-
lyn Handicap, and if he stays mv money will go on him.

Trainer James McC.irmick — Lakeland's horse Exile will
win the Brooklyn Handicap and Senorita tbe Suburban.

James Daly — I like Proctor Knott for the Suburban, aud
when the Wimer books op>-n I am going to play him.

Jockey Taylor — Ha- Over for the Brooklyn, if he stands
training, and Pioctor Knott for the Suburban.

Trainer Duma6 — If Fresno gets bis two year old fmm back
the one that beats him for the Suburban will know it has
been in a ruce.

C. Satler— Major Domo will take some beating for the
Brooklyn Handicap

Major Wheeler— It is too difficult this year for me to se-
lect a choice.

Sixty bix entries were made for the City of Suburban in
England, which is just half a dczen ahead of last year, when
Goldseeker scored a runaway victory aod ga%e the ring
such a turn up. The borse has not bfen ent*-rtd upon tbe
prestnt occasion, but Ruch smart animals as Amphion, Ve-
racity, Uanbydale Pbilumel, Laureate, Friday. Quartus and
Shall We Remember are a host io themselves Tbe Dnke
of Beaufort, Mr Henry Miln-rand Mr. Abugton are each
responsible for four entries, wbi e PriDce S'dtybofF his en-
tered a trio. Harry Hall haB nominated Friday and Quar-
tus, bo that it would seem as though one or other of these
horses is expected to do something this year. Friday, it
may be mentioned, basnot heenseeu in pubiicsince be broke
rf.iwn after running in the Lincolnshire Haudjcap of 188S.
The weights may be expected on tbe 30 h itist.

Never since tbe Lincolnshire Handicap was brought up
to its present value, sixteen years ago, has it closed with
each a small entry as i n the present occasion. The sub-
scribers number only 48, or 16 less than last year and in
1888, but cUsh is well represented. The hero of UbI March,
Wise Mau, appears in the entry again, as does Ihe Baron,
who was third to him, but Acme, who separated the pair,
was expatriated to Buenos Ay res, where he recently bad to
be destroyed, having broken bis leg. Veracity, who was
successful two years ago, although still In training, hus not
again been entered, but Weever'w Stable is represented by
Daubydale, who has so far been a disappointment. Sheen,
Laureate, Mortaigne, Claiibelle, The Rej< cted, Ormoz, Ever-
green, Th ■ Tnrcopbone, Juggler, Pioneer, Aper^e, Theophi-
tns, NuDthorpe, L'Al-besse de Jou*rre, Star, and Whitelegs,
are all well known performers aud of the veterans Tonrmy
Titilemouse and Greenwich are not strangers to the Lincoln
course. Crowberry, who bas not run f« r eighteen months,
is entered, another that has been on the shelf for a long time
is Friday, whose lawt appearance in public wan for the Lin-
colnshire Handicap, won by Veracity. Mr. Hall has also
n-'ininaied Quartus., and tbe Spigot Lodge Stable in further
representor! by Dauntless. Tbe latier is one ot the live
three-year-olds engaged, and the others are not of high clfiM-
Still, taken on the whole, the eDtiy is a good one so far
qualiiy is concerned, aud if the field i* not so large as asu-J1
the race ought to prove as interesting as ever.

Board of Fish Commissioners-

The Febrnary meeting, hel l on Febraary 4tb, at 220 Satter
street Room 13. was one of tbe liveliest yet beH by tbe
Board Hod. Joseph Rentier and J. Downey Harvey present.
After approval of tbe minutes, the monthly report of Chief
of Patrol F. P. Callundan was theu read, as follows:

The Hovoradle Th>e Board of Fish Commissioners—
Gentlemen :-The adversities which hampered the work of
vour deputies during the month of December, as detailed in
the last monthly report from the Chief of Patrol, were mote
numerous, if possible, during tbe mouth last passed. In
every portion of the State extreme high wa'er has prevented
illegal salmon fishing, and has made tbe pursuit of sin .11 hsh
hardly worth the while, even of Chinese. Such general rules
as have beeh laid down by the B.ard have been observed,
particularly with reference to regular inspections of the vari-
ous warehouses which handle deer skins, and the docks
where such skins are received. .

It is gratifying to be able to repeat the statement made in
the December report, namely, that not one doe or fawn skin
has been delivered at S -n Francisco during the month. At is
not believed tbat the killing of does and f,wns has been en-
tirelv stopped, but the market lor the skins has been ^ de-
stroyed through the efforts of your Honorable Board, and if
rigid watching of the tanueriea and other avenues of entrance
is maintained, tbere seems reason to brieve that within
a very few months there will be no reason for the slaughter-
ing of does except the brutality of a few man who chauce to
live in sections where deer are plenty, and such men cau
readily be detected and punished.

Complaint has come during the month that certain persons
claiming to be deputies of the Board have used their commis-
sions as a Bhield to protect them in fishing the ujiuor
streams adjacent to San Francisco for salmon trout. It has
not been within my power to investigate fully the charges
made, but in a general way it is recommended that any ooe
detected in stream tishiug for "trout, salmon trout or any
variety of trout," be at once placed un er arrest, and if the
offending person holds a commission as deputy irono your
Honorable Board, that such commission be recalled. 1 he
moral effect* resulting from violations of what this Commia-
Biou believes to be tbe bw, by its deputies, is most disastrous
both to the public standing of the Board and to successful
work by surh of your deputies as are guided by your wishes.

If your Honorable Board desires names and data, they can
be furnished. Another complaint haB reached the Chief of
Patrol to the effect tbat Mr. La Molieof Glen Ellen, to whom
this Board granted permission to take hsh troni Sonoma
River for breeding purposes, has completely obstructed that
river by a system of set nets, preventing the passage of fish
either up or down the river, and practically insuring the tak-
ing of every fish of breeding size which may attempt either
to go up or down.

The preoise scope of the permission given Mr. La Motte I
do not know, and the complaint is stated as received, with
the remark tbat Mr. La Moite is one of the oldest and most
noted fish breeder* in tbe country, and presumably a man
wbo would not commit any breach of the law or overstep the
bounds of propriety.

At tbe last meeting of the Board a rub was made requiring
each deputy to ate a monthly report with the Cuief of Pa-
trol. I am not advised whether notice of the rule has been
Bent to the deputies, but not one such report has been re-
ceived.

It is believed that such monthly reports will be most use-
ful, both in enabling. the Board to present to tbe public from
time to time some statement of tbe work done and also in
accumulating matter to be embodied in the bienuial report
of the Commission to His Excellency the Governor.

On January 3 1, before Hon. Hale Rix, in thts city, the case
of Autoine, a tish dealer, for bavine the young of tish in his
possession, oame op f jr trial, a j iry being demanded . After
ten minutes' deliberation the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty, and the judge imposed a fine of one bundrel dollars.
The case is now on appeal to the Superior Court.

January 6ch was spent in visiting the various transporta-
tion companies. In every place mention of the purpose of
tbe visit secured the utmost freedom to inspect all hides on
hand, and also elicited the highest commendations of the
B jard of Fish Commissioners and its policy.

January 9th was spent in the Police Court before Judge
Rix, a Chinese being en trial for having the youDg oafish in
possession. The man was fined and paid fifty dollars.

On the 13th, 14th and 15th, in response to uigent de-
mands, I visited Cazadero, at the head of Austin Creek to
break op a salmon fishery in which the Bein&B extended from
bank to bank. The fishery aod apparatus were found, but
the high water preven'ed use of the seines and no arrest
could be made. Tbe p'ace is being wa'ched, however, and a
conviction is anticipated.

On January 24th, in the Police Court of this city, Judge
Rix fined four Chinese fifty dollars each for violations of tbe
tish law, and they paid their lines.

The conviction on December 24th of three Chinese before
Judge Rix, was mentioned in my last report. The men
were fined seventy-five dollars each or as many dayB in jiil.
After serving twenty-tive days they paid fifty dollars each
into the City and County Treasury.

Deputy Thomas Tunstead is especially mentioned for
faithfulness in tbe discharge of his duties.

With settled weather, your deputies expect to resume hos-
tilities, and hope to present a more satisfactory resume of
work done, at the next meeting of your Honorable Board
Re-ipectlully submitted, F. P. Callundan,

San Francisco, Feb 4, 1890. Chief of Patrol.

The complaints mentioned in fbe report were taken up
one by one and disposed of. Two deputies, Messrs. C. H.
Ohm and C F. Precbt, accused of catching trout in Sonoma
River duriog the close season, were examined, and upon ad-
mitting that they had killed Hsh in that river recently, their
oom missions as deputies were withdrawn. A general discus-
sion of the fish which run up coa&t streams to spawn was
then entered upon. Messrs. Ohm and Precht insisted tbat
the fiah were true salmon. The CommiBsiouers and Messrs.
Woodbury and Lamotte, two experts, coincided in believing
the fish were nalmon trout.

Being invited to address the Board upon the m itter, Mr.
Ramon E. Wilson, attorney for the Board, laid it down as
sound doctrine tbat whether the fish which inhabit the
coast streams are trout, salmon trout or salmon, tbey were
tbe Hah held in niiod by the Legislature when it prohibited
catohing them, and the law was undoubtedly capable of en- |

forcement. Mr. Wilson considered it advisable to arrest and
prosecute actively all who were found fishing in the small
streams for trout.

In answer to a complaint tbat Mr. Lamotte at Glen bllen
had entirely obstructed Sonoma River with fish traps, that
gentleman replied that, acting under permission of the Board
at certain hours of the day. be did obstruct tbe river, as was
necessary to secure spawning fish, but the traps were lifted
outformaoy hours each day so that tish might ascend tbe
river. , _ .

Mr. Walter E. Bryant of the Academy of Science, was pres-
ent to advise as to proper game birds to be imported. He
thought Bob Whites and wild turkeys best.

Mr. C F-. Stout of Arkansas, from whom Bob Whites had
been ordered, was nnable to meet the order, and the Board
decided to address C. C. Reynolds at Converse Station.
Texas, in that behalf. The Board then adjourned, to meet on
tbe first Tuesday of March.

Mr. Totty's Day Fishing.

Foe The Breeder and Sportsman by Miss Kelly.

Con knew when Mr. Totty intended to spend a day at tbe
lake as well as a Llewellin setter ever can know anything,
and tbe way he jumped and coaxed and cavorted about, ask-
ing to go was a sight to see.

Mr Totty always set his starting time very early. "Call
me at four o'clock in the morning" he would say, though he
knew very well no one would bestirring at that hour, aud
be himself had no compunctious about dozing Holy Time
away — 'twas Sabbath time he choBe for his Bport, of a neces-
sity, though, be it said to bis credit, for the rest of the week,
ihus unholily begun, he devuted to bringing forth bread by
the sweat of his brow.

Mrs. Totty never arose before her usual time, and generally
had tbe satisfaction of seeing her lord well provisioned, as
far, at least, as breakfast could go before he set forth for the
day's victories.

I tell you fraubly that Mrs. Totty bad an objection to
putting up lunches. She held that all members of all fam-
ilies should be present at all meals or go without. Besides,
when Mr. Totty was absent from Sunday dinner it necesita-
ted, in her mind, the saving of the leg of mutton, the regular
bill of fare fur this day, till Monday,

So, as you may imagine, the Totiy family, there being but
Mrs. Totty and a young Totty, looked with much disfavor
upon these excursions.

Con being the only supporter, it sometimes took consider-
able courage for Mr. Totty, brave man as be was, to announce
his intention of being called at four o'clock, but after he was
once up and his preparations made none were braver than he.
He could swear about his rubber boots not being in their
proper place — (as he was not what you might call a particu-
larly orderly man, proper place with him meant any place
where he could readily lay his band upon them)— be could
heap abuses upon the little pail of bread and butter, flanked
by a boiled egg and a dry doughnut which Mrs. Totty had
hastily gathered from odds and ends in the pantry. He could
kick Con out from under the little brown nag's feet with
Bavage grace, and tbeu tell him be could go along, poor fel-
low, as a salve for his wounds.

And may be you thiok Con did not understand these
things. If you could have Been him lift up a paw ecaicely
grazed by tbe kick, and go around on three legs, bowling
woefally and looking the very picture of suffering doghood,
and if you could have seen him recover at the magic words
about going arid jump all over and under the little brown
horse, and then race from the barn to the house and back
again just to show bow very well and strong the injured leg
had become, if you could have seen him cut arouLd for a
few minutes you would have concluded that Con had his
tricks as well as most of us.

All this time, Mr. Totty has been busy getting his boat,
The Belva Lo kwood, rolled up on the frame of the buck
board, where he secures it with ropes and straps And
when be gets the small horse hitched to this remarkable cjm-
bination and gets in himself, he is a picture worth seeing.

He sits well topffrd the middle of the boat, and niu=t lean
forward and crane ois 'neck a great deal to see if all is well
with the little animal, who guided by the reins coming up
over the bright red prow of tbe boat, goes much as she
pleases But she goeB. There seems to be an understand-
ing between Mr. Totty and herself that she is to go when he
holds the reinB.

Mrs. Totty says she would drive out oftener if that little
beast did not go so much like a soap-peddler's cart, and, in-
deed, at these outings the little nag squares up accounts, as
it were, by indulging in a lame sort of walk, which often
merges into a stop, and she kicks up in Buch stiff-legged re-
sentment to the whip, that MrB. Potty is really afraid to use
it.

Con has taken his staDd under the vehicle, where he trots
along in a most contented fashion, feeling himself the king
pin of the concern, of course.

Mr. Totty's hat, a big panama, is tipped far back upon his
head so that there is a well-defined semi-circle of brim across
bis broad sboulderB.

The fish p"les and the oars nodding out of the stern of
the boat keep up a merry chatter of the sports they have hai
before, and Mr. Totty, when be is well upon the road, the
sunshine warming htm through and through, the birds and
boshes seeming to say to him in unscriptural verse bow good
it is for man to be alone, forgets the turbulent sentiments

about being "treated like ad d Chinaman" which had

been rankling in bis bosom.

Just as he bad been about to start, tbere had been a little
domestic scene, from which, as the novelists say, we will not
lift tbe curtain, further than to say that the new flies had
been mislaid by Mrs. Totty, so Mr. Totty said, and that she
refused to become excited and hunt for them.

They were found all 6afe in the pocket of his bunting
j icktt, where he, himself, had put them, and you would
think peace might have settled upon tbe Bceoe, and so I sup-
pose it would, had not a rent iu this same jacket been found
to gape, thoueh Mr. Totty had asked hiB wife to mend it a
week ego. Then he remembered that a button was off his
fcbirt, too, and he expressed himself in bis favorite phrase
which was his sole remnant of AntiChineBe League fer-
vor.

An honr*H soothing ride.brought him to a desolate sheet of
water, plumped down in the midst of desolation.

Mr. Totty drives through the tules down to the water's
edge, the little nag backs the buokboard into the lake, the
boat is rolled off", the steed is loosed, picketed and fed, Con is
coerced JDto playing guard, and Mr Totty. taking the oars is
already in the midst of pure tnjoymeni, for tbe black bags

ar* plentiful, though shy, and the catfish may some days be
Bnared with a piece of red flannel and other days a catfish
can not be caught with tbe fat of the land.

Besides the flies, Mr. Totty has on hand a ean of angle
worms, a bottle of grasshoppers and a can of shrimps. He
is proud of catching fish when others fail and as soon as
those other Ushers are far enough away {Mr. Totty is not the
only sinner from Bun City) he will try a shrimp and see how
that will go. Go? They go like a cbarm and for half an hoor
Mr. Totty palls in bass almost as lust as he csn bait bis
hook.

What has be for bait? Oh, a few worms and hoppers. lis
jast skill that's all, and Mr. Totty very deceitfully changes
bis bait with his back to tbe enemy.

Now a lull. He gets a cattish now and then but fishing
from a boat becomes slow.

He pulls in to shore and would eat his lunch with the un-
successful spiead out on the Band but that he remembered
the meager lunch he has, (every man has a pride in his wife's
cookery) aud he strolls off to a little cove, puis oo his robber
boots, wades out and begins the attack afresh, taking a
monthful of lunch occasionally from his pocket.

Mr. Totty often says his robber boots would be three in-
ches too short if they came up lo his neck, and troe it is he
always comes home more or le?s wet from these trips, and is
constantly taking port wine and horse radish for sciatica.

Something must be the matter wiih the fishing. They
have ceased to bite. All the hot afternoon with the sou
beating fiercely down upon him he keepB telling himself that
they will bite again after tbe snn d<>wn — they always do.
Then they might take a notion to bite just before dark. Some
of tbe largest fish he ever caught in his life he got just before
starting for home.

He kDows very well that Mrs. Totty will Bit up till he
comes home, keeping bis supper hot for him and that she
will not forget to tell bim of her sacrifice, but he seems in no
haste. He rin»lly counts out fifty-four shiuing baaB and
stows thtm carefully in a sack, then ►eventeen cattish, four
of which are large, ogly looking monsters, are p aced ia an-
other sack

Con. who feels tbe sharpness of an empty stomach, seems
more delighted now than earlier in the day at tbe prospect of
going. Besides, he is always a coach passenger on return
trips.

Soon the little party is well under way, vogueremembrance
of oats in the mauger lending speed to the little horse's
heels, and Mr. Totty's tuueful whistle makiog music fitting
for the trot.

"What is this? As I live Mr. Totty drawing upin front of a
saloon aud taking out the bag containing the bass, when
be is not four blocks from his own house. He may be going
to guard against sciatica, but why take in the fish?

There he is amid a crowd of ad'mirers displaying the beau-
ties. Vanity and love of being thought a good fellow, how
many have ye ruined!

Mr. Totty \ou make me weep. I would I bad not chosen
you for mv hero, for with tbe story tellers power over time
and place, I can see Mrs. Totty the next day. seated np^n
tbe wood-house steps driving nails into the flat headsof wrig-
gling catfish, giving one turn with Mr. Totty's pocket knife
(sharpened op to a proper edge on thestope pipe) around
their necks, and then peeling the nk ns with both hands.
One more bltt with the knife and a writhiog cattish is plumped
into a pan of salted water.

Mrs. Totty ofteD says these "pesky" things jump out of
the frying pan, even after soaking all night, and she doesn't
see why people can't catch something worth otohiDg. It'd
precious seldom he brings home a bass. She wouldn't call
herself a tisher, and spend days and nights at the lake if she
had to come home with a few cattish, so small one could
scarcely take hold of them to clean them. BesideB, she would
never clean another cattish, so there!

Mr. Totty with Monday meekness wanted to know why she
didn't UBe the big fellows and leave the little ones in the tub
to grow.

And hadn't she taken them all, big and little to make a
mess? But he had brought seventeen catfish and— that is, he
counted them himself and he guessed he could count, if his
wife did know so much.

To have his fishing ability aspersed sat ill upon Mr. Totty's
proud achievement aud gnilty conscience, but he experienced
nothing, and went to the tub to see if he could eolve'tne mys-
tery.

That there was another fisher with great skill in the family
did not occur to him until he beard the young Totty relate
how she had watched Puss tbat morning sitting near the tub,
licking her paws and seeming most unwilling to put them in-'
to the water until a big tish appeared at the surface, when
quick as a flash he was speared in the back by the claws of
Pus--, and landed on the grass to struggle there till the blaok1
paws were well polished again, aud then began the task of
biting off her bead without being stung by his wicked spines.
Puss was far too careful a little mother to provide her kittens!
with food that had pins in it.

Puss has patience, too, another proof tbat she stauda side
by side with Mr. Totty as a fisher, for in tbe loft of the barn!
were found the mutilated bodies of nine large catfish.

Mr. Totty vows that if she ever fishes the cream of his fish-
ing again he will hang her higher than Hamin, kits aud all.

The Sutter City Enterprise says: Duriog the last high water*
fish were found in Willow Creek, which comes dowp through
the Pass of Buttes. This is something never before known'
by the oldest settlers hereab nts.

The SalimiB Democrat is authority for the statement tba
during a recsnt 6torm a showerof tish fell near Blanco, Mod.
terey County. The fact of fisb falling from tbe cloud is nc
an unheard of occurrence, but fish such as MI at Blanco w
never heard of before, They were of a bright Bilvery coloi'
about two inches in length.and instead of (ins they bad shar
spioes about one-fourth of an inch long where the pectoral an
dorsal fins should be. Mr. W. H. Crowe of Blanco, has pn
served a couple of them as specimens of great enrionaity, $
they are unlike any fish he has ever seen or heard of.

THE_GTJN,

Still Hunting vs. Hounding" Deer.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Still bunting vs. Hound-
ing has been a mucb mooted question among sportsmen of
late, botli melbods of securing tbe wily deer having plenty
of advocates, tbe supporters od botb sides denouncing tbeir
opponent's tactics ab unsportsmanlike. Tbey may botb be
right or both wrong under different circumstances, condi-
tions aod surroundings.

The Virginia deer should be found and killed in most in-
stances by the still hunter in compaiatively open timber.

The black tail deer of our northwest country is a bird of

another featner, possessing wonderful intelligence, of an

extremely sby and timid disposition, frequently hunted by

the cougar, lynx and wild oat. In our heavily timbered

country he is never seen unless on rare occasions Having

an extraordinarily keen ear and eye, he knows well how to

I keep out of sight in bis almost impassable forest home.

I Tracks may be seen by the dozen, but seeing tracks does not

mean by any means Beeing tbe maker of them. Very few

| black tail are" killed in this country, and most of them are

, killed with dogs, although our forests contain vast herds of

; them.

I met an old hunter on a ferry boat on tbe Nuokaack
j River lately. He had come to our State from the Eist,
i where he hai hunted for tbe mark*t since his boyhood,
coming here on the sa ue errand. He was through wita our
State, he said, having spent four months constantly in the
> mountains. He had killed in that time un'y one deer, the
' only one he bad seen in that time. He had seen a few bears
and plenty of cougars, but he wasn't ont for them. The meat
was what he was after. He didn't believe there were any
deer in the mountains, or he'd have eeen them, as he had
hunted early and late, and cnuld always find and kill deer
: in any locality where he had been heretofore Eist of the
Missouri. He was tired of it, and was returning home dis-
gusted.

I smiled a smile quietly up my sleeve, always feeling glad
to lose a neighbor who killed game for a living. I cuuld
have to him a tale unfolded, but "ignorance being hliss 'tis
Bnrely great folly to be wise " 'Tis an old saw, truly, hut
.contains a wonderful amount of truth in it. So be went his
way and I mine, never to see each other again.

I was reading an acaonnt of some of the early day hunts
the other dav, when (Jhio, Kentucky and many other now
thickly settled States were in their infancy and considered to
be then the "wild woolv West," and was much amused at the
ide* of the wonderful changes which have occurred.

The railways have wiped all such bunting grounds out of
existence most completely. An account of a hunt in Ken-
tnckv, where a band of fifty deer are qninly feeding within
a slooe's throw of a pair of hunters and a dog, who refrained
' from shooting (the huoteis dirt), as they bad already seen
and killed more deer than tbey could use. Tbe usual method
of hunting being to ' jist knock eronnd and blaza away when
one got near enough, "a track being seen, it is followed a short
way, and tbe deer found standing! feeding quietly or rubbing
his horns against a tree. Such easy ohances wonld never be
offered by our deer, fur even if overrun with deer who never
saw a hunter nor beard the rifle crack, Dor heard the ping
of a bullet, they instinctively keep out of sight nnd possess
Che faculty of concealment and noiseless movements on all
occasions in a wonderful degree.

Many descriptions of deer hunting in Eistern States where
deer (one naturally would suopose) would be wilder from be-
ing hounded and hunted more, and far more wily, tell how
the bova went out and jumpei a deer out of a thicket and
broke him down, or trailing one to thick timber, they ran
into him as he stood watching and listening, or mav be "jest
ran acrost a ole bock as he stud rubbin nis pair of six prong
, antlers against a limb." Perhaps a bunch of five or six are
walked into like walking into a bnnch of girls coming home
from school, who, timid, shy, but coy, would like to run,
but, inquisitive, stay.

Gentlemen, such things, though niaybs possible wilb the
Virginia, are impossible with the Columbia deer. You can't
go out before breakfast and bring io a deer in time for the
daylight meal, like you would go and fetch in a quail or
prairie chicken, or go into the hen-house, catch and kill a
ohicken. Oh, do; if you do go out before breakfast, and
won't return till you get your deer, perhaps you will sleep
out in the woods on an empty stomach that night.

No wonder the market hunter, who was broken on Eastern
deer, weakened at the prospects of a fat living on our Colum-
bia's, and considered it a long time "'tween drinks" The
latter animal is a great discourager for the market hunter.
Now although still hunting results in very little killing, with
a hound we can get a deer within an hour in any direction.
I can put a hound into a dozen patches of heavy timber
within a mile of my home, and get from one to eight deer
from each place. Thank goodness! hounding is prohibited!
Oar impenetrable forests an i thick undergrowths, heavy
and cloee brush and tangle, keep the hunter out of fialf of
the territory in moBt of our forests. The deer can multiply
and increase for countless ages if not hounded. The deer-
hound can enter anywhere aod bring the game out where it
can be slaughtered with comfort. The Beared, affrighted
animal ranniDg anywhere to get away from the dreaded bay
of the dog, paying no heed to danger in front; all his Benses
excited to get as far as possible from tbe keen-nosed hound.
There is little danger of our deer being thinned out by still
hunting, and if not driven out by hounds, or railways, or tbe
encroachments of civilization among our mountain fastnesses,
he will last long beyond the ages of our great grandchildren's
children.

The cougar, wolf and lynx hunt them, and kill many of

their number, but they do Dot compare with the numbers

that would be killed by honuding. and in tbe majority of

' cases the cunning deer will outwit the feline or lupine

i ( marauder.

Still hunting is a pleasure to the lover of nature, a fascina-
ting, healthy pastime. To out wit the cunning of the most
timid game in existence, to match human reasoning and ex-
perience against bis cunning, affords the sportsman great
delight, but when it comes to a question of meat, wny then
, we can't get along without canine ass:stance.

That bounding is far more destructive to the game, must
be evident; that the same skill or experience is not required,
must be acknowledged. Skill with the rifle is the main con-
sideration, aside from the knowledge of proper stands and
ability to keep quiet.

Great sport and comfort are to be derived from this s'yle of
hunting, also the certainty of getting a d^er if a good Bhot
and deer are in the neighborhood, makes the pleasure
, sweeter, less work and wear and tear are certainties. I will
give a brief description of the two styles of getting the wily
animal in oar county.

Six or eight deer having been located over the line in
British Columbia in tbe heavy timber near Boundary line
lake, while still bunting we repaired there with three good
deer-hounds who understood their business.

Ais placed on a stand on a ronway making towards Section
One lake, B is placed on a deer trail near tne bead of Lake
iceman, C is placed in an open place in the timber command-
ing a view of a run or stream which meandered through its
bed in the valley, while D takes up his stand in a meadow
near a burn along another lake.

The dogs are separated and pnt onto three different trails,
hunting individually. A deer is soon started by one of the
dogs, and is ron into Boundary lake, crossing the open, fly-
ing wildly for the water, a loDg running shot is made by B,
an excellent Bhot which wounds the deer, and a second Bhot
breaks it down, tbe 50-calibre bullet killing it instantly.

Another deer is started and run info the burn and meadow
near D, who also scores a kill after firing four shots from his
Winchester repeater, a 45-60. A doe soon appears to D, as if,
frightened and bewildered, emerges from the timber upon
tbe burn, a long shot, but he succeeds in killing it.

The bay of the houndB is heard, one hound in particular,
an old veteran, has a deep, rich, musical voice; he roars on
in full sight of the quarry, whiob he drives out, and down
the bed of the stream it is vainly looking for a hiding place
in the latter, but nothing can escape the nose of theapproach-
ing hound, who trails on in full cry, putting the deer out of
tbe shallow btream iu full view of C, who is ready, but being
an indifferent shot, he misseB it as it dashes by and disap-
pears in the brush.

The dogs siart several more deer, but fail to drive them
out. The hunters not being bloodthirsty, are satisfied with
three deer, call the dogs in, and getting a horae from a
rancher, pack their game home, two fine buck and one doe.

Fonr deer having been seen and shot at, several more
started, all iu the course of two hours, if a day had been
devoted to the sport and three different localities worked,
two or three times as many deer would have been killed by
the four men.

Now tbe two best shots of that party put in an entire day
still hunting where a larger band of de r were wont to roam,
and not a deer waB seen, although both are as good stalkers
as there are in the country, and if deer can be got by still
hunting, they can get them. Not only one day, bat many days,
and parts of days, have they returned home empty handed,
baving trailed mauy deer, tut failed to get a sight of them.
1 will relate a day, when a fine buck was killed, as being
one of the best; other bucks and does they have brought in
at different times from a still hunt, but the one mentioned
will fairly describe any.

A fresh snow had fallen, covering the ground with a soft
white mantle, renderiog tracking easy and the footfall silent.
Much cold and enow having occurred for the past two weeks,
the lakes are all frozen over, and surrounded on all Bides by
deep snow, the deer, therefore, do not go near the lakes.
The open places an^l bnrnB beiog buried deep under snow,
those places are avoided. Wind, snow and storm have put
ihe deer down off the mountains into the green timber,
where but little Bnow is on the ground, and fine shelter from
wind and cold afforded. The dser will lie close and hide in
the thick jung]es and windfalls, penetrating where the hun-
ter cannot.

Three freBh tracks are discovered upon pene'ruting the
thick timber east of section 1 lake. The trail is taken up and
followed some distance to the highland or upland. Here
are fresh droppings and evidences of having fed in the vicin-
ity. The snow is now tramped down all around. A rabbit
jumping iu the brush brines our rifles to our faces, but the
mistake discovered they are lowered. There is a oongar's
track, a hunter ahead of us, it will make hunting still doubly
difficult.

There is a lynx track. He also wants to get his share of
the meat.

Under a lo.v lying tree trnnk goes the trail so low that we
wonder the deer could pass under. We follow, but now the
deer have separated; the big track goes to our left while the
other two keep to the right. We follow the big fellow, but
soon it is joined by the others.

The trail approaches nearly to the edge of the heavy tim-
ber, then circles around clean back within a few yards of
where we firs^. started to trail, but keeps more east. We keep
along quiet as two Indiana trailing a coon. Now tbe track
enters the thick brush where we can't get in without making
noise enough to scare all the deer out of the county.

As we imagine they are hiding there, we separate, ooe pass-
ing around the jungle (which appears to be some 200 yards
through) to the west, while the other goes east agreeing to
circle clean aronnd if possible, and meet on the other side,
to discover if the track comes out anywhere.

We soon meet again, having found no track out. Now
it is settled to a certainty that the deer are hid in the midst
of the close underbrush and jungle.

Whether they have discovered us or are hiding from four
footed hunters we know not, bat know they will not stir un-
less driven out.

We select a rather promising place for an entrance being
more open than the rest of jungle, one goes in while the other
passes around to where the deer entered, taking up his stand
there as the most likely place for them to come out if they do
so at all.

Eich cautioning the other not to shoot unless the deer is
plainly seen, as accidents frequently happen where two hunters
are separated, one mistaking a movement or dark object for
game, when possibly it may be the other creeping or croncn-
ing hunter.

Now entering a thick windfall or juDgle of 200 yards io ex-
tent seems easy enough in print, but tbe reality is a stern
hardship, a slow, laborious process, hard on the olothing and
cuticle, and very trying to the patience.

It is needless to tire the reader with a description of the
big trunks buried in snow to be climbed over, or the thick
growth of vine maples covered with snow, a touch shaking
the damD article all over one, filling coat, collar boot-top3,
sleeves, etc., the encounters with "devil's clubs, miserable
weeds covered with sharp needle like spines which break off
and stay in tbe flesh like the festive cactus. Thorns with
^harp strong points which made things very warm for a
Bilt-nt man, and many other unpleasant obstacles, suffice it to
say these things were overcome after about an hour's hard
pcrambling and the thickest of the jangle leached. Here of
very close by should he the deer, but as nothing ia to be seen
for a foot on any side of ub, we can't use our rifle any way, so
we will just make a grand racket aod a hideous pow wowand
try and give our partner a shot, and will drop down in this
soft bed of snow ont of the way of any flying bullets, as he
shoots like lightning, and the whole chamber can be emptied
into a band of deer so quick that it will make onea head
swim. If we oad scare the deer enough some of them may
rush out with a racket, or again they may not get out at all
or mav go out as quietly as they came in, so quietly that not
3 sound will be heard, However, we jump upon a log so

the noise will reach further, and seem louder, distendiDg
our broad bosom to the utmost, till the healthy full sized
lungs are full of wind. We take a young tree in each hand,
and roar at the top of our lungs, at the same time Btamping
like mad on the dead, hollow trunk with both feet, which we
had previously cleaned of snow, soapping the two youDg
trees violently together, we flatter ourselves we made a
champion noise. A rush like that of a Dheasant whirring is
heard, as one deer which doubtless had been very close to us
at the time of our outburst, makes direct for onr Tlllicam.

Down with a dull and sickening thud we drop into the

white, beautiful snow" which envelopes us in its cold and
clammy embrace, compellir g ns to rear onr head aloft to get our
wind, which one sudden immerson had ciused to forsake our
former boasted powerful lungs.

Baog goes the rifle of our Tillicum, a 50-110 Winchester
Express, which has a beautiful sonorous voice, which rings
sharp and clear with a peculiar roar.

No more shots following, we know that only one deer has
gone his way and that one lies dead before him, or more
shots would have followed.

We pick ourselves up, shake the beautiful show off our
person, pick a peck of stuff out of each boot leg, a same
amount imperial measure out of oar coat collar, onr pockets
are emptied one after tbe other, our hat picked up and
scraped ont with a young maple.

Wben we notice our Tillicum's merry voice telliDg us to
come out and see the "boss buck," when we have goftenough
snow out of our ears to hear plaioly and freed ourmcuth snf-
ficiently to answer, our joy is exhibited by means of a yell,
which threatens to di-looate our collar bone, or blow up an-
other lung as we solemnly declared to the partner after-
ward that we had exploded one lung when yelling, to scare
out the deer.

But privately we don't mind stating now our last joyful
yell was not so much one of joy at the success of his shot
as for the termination of ocr travel in the thick jungle and
snow banks. We get out after repeating our experiments
upon entering but somewhat easier and faster as all restraint
is now removed and noise is no object.

Tillicum is seated upon a splendid big buck, his arms
crossed upon hischest, biB gun carelessly reclined against
his shoulder, he indifferently looks around at everything
but the back. His pone and general bearing denoting an
absolute carelessness, such fine bucks one would infer to be
a regular thing to kill most any time, same as yoa would
pi-k your teeth, a matter of extreme small moment.

But his grand attitude not striking us damh or "Bpeeoh-
less", we eDJoy a hearty laugh over our tribalations in the
wilderness, and fall to admiring and discussing the merits of
our noble quarry.

The other two deer had acted differently from this one,
and had as they usually do when alarmed, quietly got out
without giving a months notice.

This one had as lack would have it rushed headlong ont
in Tillicums arms, where he almost had to jump aside to es-
oape it« rush.

His 50 caliber ball had pierced its brain square between
the eyes, but about 1£ inches higher than the line of the
eyes, the most fatal shot of all, and most satiafaotory, instant
and sudden death being always the result.

Tbe head being well back at the time {as it rushed beneath
the limbs) to prevent striking the branches overhead the
ball broke up inside the skull, the brain being scattered
completely, some pieces of bullet came out back of the ears,
while others came out back of the neck. Trnly, a terrible
wound. This ended one of many aimilar still hunts.

Tillicum many times Bince has chaffed us in the presence
of others about our etyle of driving out deer, and diving in-
to anow banks.

Bat we always loftily reply in our superior way, "That we
are the only trnly original deer driver."

The above process of getting deer out of a jangle is not
patented, and while I would not recommend it to others as
being the most sportsmanlike, still they are at liberty to use
it if they can find no other way. If they are satisfied I surely
ought to be.

Still hunting, as seen from the above, has more hardships
attached and a smaller percentum of chances than* bounding,
and in onr country in particular, if hunted in no other way,
deer will mostly live happily till they die at a good oH age,
surrounded bya large and interesting family. JaySeeEn.

A New Oliver in the Field.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I suppose field tiial week
was a gala week forall loverB of setters and pointers. It was
a hard blow to me in not being able to attend, family sickness
preventing. I eagerly await the reports of the trials, and I
do hope the best dog won and that yoa all bad a very pleas-
ant week. I saw a letter written by you lsBt week to Mr.
Will Howard, now a resident of San Diego, formerly from the
WeBtern States. I formed the acquaintance of Mr. Howard
since my return here, and \I find him to be a sportsman of
tbe first water, a jolly good fellow and one of the be&t posted
men on the Llewellin settersl have had the pleasure to meet,
and another thing, I have found ont that a quail goes into
his bag moBt every time his butt plate strikes bis shoulder.
I have had several pleasant hunts with him in the hills near
our home.

I will tell you of a little hunt I had with him last Friday.
The early train from San Diego brought friend Howard and
his new 7i 12 gnage Parker hammerless. After a morning
salu'e he took from his pockets a book, and pointing to eome
writing on a leaf paid, "Bead this," and here is what it said:
"I bet Mr. McCarty $5 that I can go to Puoifio Beach to-
morrow and bring ba?k thirty-sis quail killed on tbe wing
between tbe first and last trains to and from the beaob."

"Well," 1 said, ''I will be ready and with you in a jiff'y."

It took but a few moments to lace up my buutiDg boots,
don my coat with a good supply of shells, and open tbe ken-
nel door and call out my old Htandby Borneo, and we sallied
out for the foothills. We poon found a pmull covey which
flushed and flew over a hill and we expected to find them in
a small canyon, but we were dipappointed, not a trace could
we find of them, and after one hour's hard work we gave them
up and struck oat to tind a second covey, which we found
after a long hunt. It was a good large covey, and tbe birds
were very wild, gettiug up at long rauge f>nd going like a
bullet, but we succeeded in bagging a few. We bunted hard
till one o'olock, wben we retired for refreshments beside a
cool running Btream aud counted our bags, which netted only
eighteen.

"It is no use." said Howard. "Luok is against me. Mc-
Cartv will 'set 'em up' on mv $5."

"Don t be too sure," said I. We have two long hours yet
b*fore we start for the station."

Well, after we took a good rest and washed our throa's
down with a nice drink from tbe cool stream we star'ed out
ag-iin. The writer took tbe side hill with Romeo, and How-
ard preferred the level ground. I soon heard Howard's vok

128

saying "Look out. Romeo is froze stiff just ahead of you."
And sore *m.uah. I was soon beside bioj, when up went a
brace and they both went to grass. When I ordered Romeo
to fetch dedd bird a few jamps brought him up stiff again.
and two more quail bit tbe dost I will not tell yon here bow
many quail wore bagged on that side hill; modesty prevents.
Then again, my old friend, J. K. Orr, might see this article
and be wonld kaow I whs singing the old "chestnut," but I
will say that R->meo ma^e some beautiful points and every
bird billed was nicely retrieved. Friend Howard -tood in the
canyon below and said he enjoyed the sport, and one of the
rirst questions be asked after we started fur the station was.
"What will you take for Romeo?" My answer was, "Thtt
question has been aBked me many times. My only answer
is. Not for Bale. "

Oh I almost forgot to to tell yon that M-. Howard went to
San D ego with a fine bag of quail, and counted out eoonyh
to satisfy tbe referee that Howard would "set 'em up" on
McCarty's $5. • n

A Candidate for Field Trial Judge.

Editor Bbkedee and Sportsman:— We had just emerged
from the brush and tangle surrounding Elk Lake on to ihe
trail, with our guns and dogs, each of us oarrying on our
back a goo^l? load of ducas, when we ran across a speci-
men, in fact a genins, the specimen being one of the neigh-
boring ranchers' help.

Standing over sis feet in height, dressed in a suit of home-
spun, fa ed, patched and frayed, the pants reaching to high
watermark, a p*ir of twinkling bead like eyes shone forth
from a mas* of tiery red hair which covered the entire face,
projecting out in front and on either side of his face in wild
disorder, a coon skin cap covering a shock of hair of tbe same
tirev hue.

Upon perceiving ns be dropped the butt of his zuln into
Boft mud, which ancient piece of ordnance stood at full cock,
fondly resting one huge p*lm upon the muzzle, then the
other palm upon it, he scraped the ground with his foot.

"How do, strangers."

"Good day."

"Bin buntin?"

"Yes. sir."

**Uot right smart o* dueks."

"Yes, fair."
'You live hyur?"

"No."

"You've got a right pert gun."

"Yep."

"Taint got no hammers, nuther."

"Nop."

"Kill fur?"

"Yep "

"Them bird dawgs?" pointing to the setters.

"Yep."

"Do they uns bark?"

"Nop."

"No good; you want a dawg as will bark at the birds. Si
Willis has the best bird dawg in this hull kentry; he went
aout last night and killed twenty-nine pheasants; he got five
at one shot. "Oh, yeB, Si is the Jim aandy shot, and he's
jest got the boss gun, too. I Been him kill a pheasant on the
very top ot the highest tree in that timber yonder. Si won't
sell that gun for love or money."

"But what good are them red dawga if they don't bark?"

"They point the birdB."

"They what."

They and the birds and point them with their noses.

"Eq! What's yer givin' us," neighbor?

Sure.

"Honest iDJin."

You bet.

"Wall, I never," by gum, I kin hardly b'lieve you uns
Lem Weiser would give rive dollars for a dawg thet will do
thet, then he coulu kill em all a heap, thet's what he
wonld.

But you musn't shoot birds sitting or standing, and ol!}7
on the wing when they are flying.

"Eh!"

A barbiug dog is a Dot hunter's dog, and no true sports-
man will sboot a bird when sitting.

"Kin yon uns do thet? ds ef yer kin hit will be a new
wrinkle id these pans. Let's hunt op a bird and you feliers
sh o it a flyin.

Soiting tbe action to the words, we sent the dogs ahead,
and one of tbem soon s ifleoed en a point into tbe brnsb,
backed by iha other dog. moving up, up, whirred with a great
ruara cook grouse.

The choke bore boomed, and down like a wet rag tbe bird
fell, limp and lifeless, a cloud of feathers floating off on tbe
breeze. At a wave of tbe hand tbe obedient dog brings the
bird in.

"Wallnaouw, ef thet wan't the slickest piece o' work I
ever did aee Ye'r chained lightnin' stranger."

After looking carefully at the bird he t-iok the hammerlesa
gun in band aDd examined carefully every particular, sqnint-
mg along tbe rib an i into the barrels. He nest turned to
the dog, we expecting to see him look down their nostrils to
Bee if they too were choke "oorei

"WmII. boys ef thet don't beat all," ejaculates the now
thoroughly pnzzled rancher, "sech doio's not havin' been
heard t-.ll on iu the experience of the oldest setter.

As he turned to leave us after a pressing invitation to go
down to the store with him, the engineer asked him if there
were maDy bear* around.

"Wall, yes; tb*rV right -marto' bars mosyin err-und on the
Korduroy. I Been several tracks tbar this mornio'.

"Jim Bowman had a narrer escape from a old she a few

"Yaas, neighbor, there's a power o' bars all through tbe

the six-foot "innocent" mass of humanity as be shambled
off.

Not till his shock of magenta hued hair, surmounted by
the coon skin cap, had disappeared over a ridge like a settiog
sun did we recover our equanimity and proceed on our home-
ward way. _

The Weiebt of Grouse.

Notes in vour issues of Dec. 12 and 19. also "Notliks" in
issue Jan. 2, have called my attention to weight of ruffed
grouse. Have bandied grouse fortbe market for the past ten
years and spend a few days each s^asoof recreation in hun-
ting tbem Have no'iced as "Notliks" ssys tbut the weight
^varies from y- &r to year accordingtu rircumstances, food,
weather, etc." The past two seasons having v^ry opeD weath-
er, little or no snow during the monlbs of Octuber. Novem-
ber and December, the grouse are found in the neighborhood
of grain fields, especially those of buckwheat, where they
find a quantity ot easily procured rich feed. The weights
this season with us have averaged unnsnallv heavy, partly
owing to the lateness in gathering the buckwheat crop. We
purchased of A. P. LaPlant, a market-hunter of this place,
Hmong other birds, a cock gronne that weighed 30 plump
ounces; it was a very la-ge bird and from appearances a very
old one. Its crop contained no unusual amount of food
aad was not distended as were many at times that we bought.
Have had grouse brought in, their crops being so filled -with
buckwheat that yon would imagine they were fed in a poul-
try yard with tame fowl. Others not in the neighborhood
of grain fields bad fed on the young and tender shoots of
clover leave*, and one bird had at l*>ast a pint of winrer-
green berries inits crop, showing they accustomed themselves
to tbeir surroundings and fed on whatever was in that neigh-
borhood that pleased them best. Ou my shooting trip this
season where I found a buckwheat stubble adj >ining timber
or brnsh lots so sure was I to find grouse if they were in that
locality, trnd it took mighty quick work to bring one to bug,
being strong and quick on the wing from well filled emps
twice each day. For a table bird the grouse that feeds on
buckwheat cannot be beaten.— Forest and Stream.

Mr. Lem Wilson of Porterville knocked over a fish eagle a
few days since that measured nine feet from tip to tip.

C. C Drake, of Price Creek, Hnmboldt County, killed a
three-hnn',red pound black bear last week that yielded ten
gallons of oil.

Forty odd dozens of duck were killed about Mt. Eden, Ala-
meda County, on Sunday last— a revival of the days of seven
or eight years ago.

Up Trinity and Lassen way half the able bodied men and
boys are out deer hunting on the crnsty snow. They should
be overhauled by the authorities without delay.

A few days ago at Turlock S. J Allen of Turloek and El.
Docker shot a march at twen'y live birds each for S20 a 6ide.
Allen scored twelve out of thirteen to Dncker's seven out of
thirteen, when the latter threw up the match.

Georee B Hoag and A. J. Tufts of Davisville are in Fresno
on a gr»nd hunting trip We commend tbem to the hospi-
tality of Mr. F. B. Dex'er at tbe Grand Central They should
bunt him first, and he will make their way smooth if any
one can.

Rpverend J T Anderson, of Biggs, bad an annoying experi-
ence lafit Thursday A youth named Hensbaw was popping
small birds with a 22 rifle, and shot throngb a fence toward
M»-. Anderson, the ball entering his side. The wound was
not serious.

Warren Stephens and William Lewis were out hunting in
the hills west of Scott k Lowe's stock farm, Mendocino Co.,
on Monday last, an^_ succeeded in killine a California lion.
A mass meeting of Bheepmen, held the same day, returned
thanks to the lucky hunters.

Messrs. Knapp of New York and McAllister of Philadel-
phia shot a match at Bthylon, L. I., on Febmary 6th, for
$S00 a side, 100 live birds to tbe man Hurlingham style.
MrAlliwter woo with 92 kills to 79 bv Knapp. If the men
had average California birds at San Bruno or anywhere else
in the State their scores would not have been so high.

In destroving tbe robins which have been driven out of
the mountains by tbe suow. orcbardists and vinyaHists
shorld not go to excess. This year many robins may not be
too much, but at o' her seasons they are valna'le. for tbey
feed on insects and pests that eat foliage and destroy frnit.
This bird is not called and counted a game bird anywhere
else, and he deserves a bit of hospitality and a good deal of
mercy.

The leadine game bird of tbe Beason has been the robin.
From all sections come reports of monstrous bags of them
and the markets have at aU times been foil. At Livermore
tbe o'ber evening, John Worth killed 1421 robins, using 122
cartridge. Near Diion William Wolfukill killed 1350 robins
at 66 shots and sold them for 40 cents per dozen. On the
following night he and his brother were out all nieht and in
the morning tbey shipped 125 dozens, receiving 35 cents per
dozen. At Winters two men killed one day 1500 robins from
the fruit treeB on their premises. A night or two before one
of them bagged 1692 of the birdB.

Some time ago a pair of hungry coyotes came down from
tbe mountains and sought refnge in the tule and tbe fringe
pf the forest that skins tbe iiver near Rio Vista. High water
drove thun out of their retreat, and tbey are committing
serious depredations on tbe flocks in that vicinity. E. 0.
Dozier snd others have devoted a great deal of time to an
unavailing search for tbem. As a hi-t resort there is talk of
procuring a pack of hounds to run them down.

J. M. White oC tbe Biggs Argns — better kDown as "Missis-
sip/ — is one of the crack r-fle 6hots of the world, says the Ar-
gus. In fact it is doubfal whether his equal can be found,
His fa'her was an expert marksman as were also his three
brothers, and the faculty seems to be hereditary in the fami-
ly. When only three years of age Jim made seventeen con-
secutive bull's eyes with a Colt's dragoon revolver and he
has been shooting ever since. A week ngo last Sunday, while
hunting feathered gsrhe along Feather river near Hamilton,
be entertained a number of companions with an exhibition
of bis skill by sbootin? at the small bird commonly called
"chippy." Out of 23 shoe at while tbey were flying, at dis-
tances ranging trom twenty to fortv yards he killed — wi«h his
rifle — 21 and shot the wing off another one- This is extraor-
dinarily good shooting, but "Mi^si^Bip" does not think so.
He has frequently thrown ashort bi» in the air and then hit
it with a rifle bn'let hef^ra it fell to tbe ground. It is very
probahle that a match will be arranged between bi'm and Miss
Lillian F Smith, who claims to be the ohampion rifle shot of
tbe world., in which event Jim will be backed by big money
by the sporting men of Butte.

[That story won't do. If "Mississip" is a veritable printer
of the Argus crowd, where does he gel "short bit6"totbrowiti
the air. Tell another one, but respect the veritiea. — Ed.

THE KENNEL.

Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earlie&t pc
ble notices of whelps, sales, names claimed, presentations and deaths, I
in their kennels, in all instances wririne plainly names of sire and dam
and of grandparents, colors, dateB and breed.

Count Dick.

Mr. Austin B. Sperry's ponter Count Dick which showei
so brilliantly at the Held trials, but whosf age aud breeditit
were not then knowo, turns out to be as suspected, but a fit
teen months old puppy In breeding be is "way up" beic

on he will be a dangerous competitor next year.

The English Kennel Club bas resolved that hereafter an
Irish terrier th«t has been cropped will not be eligible ti
compete at any kennel club show.

Editor C. E. SbermaD, of the Kern County Californiar
brightest and best of country papers could.not resist Pall
and came up from Bakersheld on Monday last to revel i
opera.

It is worth the while of English setter fanciers to study tl
blood lines of the dogs which are being brel by Mr. M. 1
Walter, at Gait, Sacrsmento conntv. They are particular!
strong in tbe Mood of Bergundthal's Rake and Fanny, un
should be valuable no end

Mr. M. D. VVftHer thinks of locating somewhere near S*
Francisco, and we hope will do bo, both because it will be
good business move for that verv pleasant trainer and b;
oau6e we can have more fr< qnent visits from him.

It was particularly nnfortunnte that Mr. Allender sbon
have been cilled away from Bakersh'eld just before the triF
becanse he left his dogs without his skillful care. Mr Tr
man informs us that his pointer Patti Croxteth T. on thedt
before her race was aotually stutfed with food and only a fi
teen mile run behind a buggy served to bring her down

something like form.

.»

Mr. George T. Allender intends *s soon as tbe weather pc
mits to move to some location more convenient to San Fra
cisco than Watsonville. Several of his friends have advis-
the change and it appears wise to us. Owners prefer to ai
should see their dogs from time to time when in a trainei
hands, and if a trip can be made in a few hours at slight e
penee, so mnch the better. A good looation is not easy
bud and Mr. Allender will be thankful for suggestions.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BI AHFHIPPUS,

SEFMHABY.

The athletes are enjoyiog the 6ne weather, and many of
them are already in active training for the coming Held days.
On Wednesday evening the Golden Gate Athletic Clnb gave
itsregnlar monthly exhibition. On the following evening
the Olympic Club held a very enjoyable "Ladies Night."
To-morrow afternoon the members of the Alpine Athletio
Clnb will hold their BrBt out-door exhibition at Harbor View
Park when twenty events will be contested. Altogether the
athletic outlook is very bright, and for some months to come
the amateurs will have their hands foil preparing for the
numerous contests that will take place. Now that the three
leading amateur cluba have their own training grounds, there
will be no further room for kioking on the part of the out-
door men and this fact, coupled with the other inducements
offered, cannot help but bring out all the amateur athletes,
even the old-timers who have laid en the shelf for years.

BUNKERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

To-morrow the Alpine Club will make its initial bow to
the public.

In a couple of weeks the new track of the Olympic Club
will be finished. Already it is pronounced a suoceBB. When
the grounds are opened on Decoration Day, many of tne
coast records will be considerably improved.

The UoiTersity athletes are getting into trim for their
Spring field-day.

The Alpine Club will hold its first oross-country run from
Harbor View on Sunday, March 2d.

Cross-country runs are bound to become popular on the
Paoitio Coast during the coming season. Tne Olympic, Uni-
versity and Alpine clubs can always, at Bhort notice, plaoe
oood teams in the field, and there is no reason why an open
cro3S-country championship should not be htld during the
summer The public would be more than pleased to witness
such an exhibition, and it would be an easy task to select a
suitable course where the spectators could catch a glimpse of
the contestants as they sped over the ground.

The amateur annex of the Golden Gate Athletic Club has
in it several promising young boxers who will make their
debut at the next boxing tournament.

The running track of the Olympic Club is continually oc-
cupied with the runners who intend competing in the five-
mile run on February 26th.

Peter Schumacher, Champion Wrestler of the Pacific
Coast was defeated at Milwaukee on Tuesday evening last by
Tom Connors. The match was for the middle weight cham-
pionship and §300 a side.

Owing to an accident which befell E. A. Kolb while train-
ing the match between himself and A. H. Lean has been
postponed to April 29th. Lean's friends are anxious to have
the match come off, as they feel confident that their cham-
pion will win.

J.J. McKinnon, the amateur hammer thrower, will shortly
j\ke unto himself a wife.

Eugene Hulcombe of the O. C. promises to develop into a
first-class heel and toe walker.

Charles Vultee of the Alpine Clnb will be heard from in
the sprint events at the next open games. He is also a prom-
ising high jumper.

Sexsmith, Cassidy, Garrison, Luttringer, Tank and El-
dridge will possibly make good records to-morrow at Harbor
View.

THE WHEELMEN.

There will be no race meeting on Washington's Birthday,
the wheelmen claiming that the wet weather prevented them

from training. .... • -, ... u

H A Matthews will shortly begin his long rides through
the interior. He has a long programme made out for the
comiog season. .

On Monday evening next the Bay City Wheelmen will give
a very select ball at Union Square Hall. Only a limited num-
ber of invitations will be issued, and everything possible will
be done to insure the guests a pleasant evening. The club is
about to adopt a new constitution and by-laws.

A commiitee on revision of rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union held a meeting on Feb. 3rd. at which their work was
completed. During the evening F. W. Janssen of the Staten
Island Athletic Club, offered a resolution to the effect that
the Union would further the beBt interests of amateur ath-
letics by passing a law prohibiting any clnb from paying the
. expenses of its athletes to any competitive meeting other than
that for the championship of the A A U. This resolution
was passed, and it is not improbable that a law to the effect
will be adopted, despite the opposition offered by a number
of athletes who, while burdened with ambition, prefer not to
go down to their pockets to gratify their desires.

The third winter meeting of the University of Pennsylvania
Athletic Association was held at the Academy of Music,

The National Cross Country Association of America will
hold an eight mile cross country handicap from either Fleet-
wood Park, on March 15th. It is the intention of the com-
mittee to lmke this handicap run the tiggest affair of the kind
ever held in America. The prizes will be both costly and
handsome. The first ten men to reach home will he presented
with prizes. The club being the first to have six men finish
will be presented with a magnificent silk banner. The com-
mittee will give each starter a solid silver souvenir medal, all
of which will be struck from the National Association stand-
ard die, and will each alone be a valuable prize. Entrance
fee, $1. Entrance fees must accompany the entries, or en-
tries will be rejacted. It is estimated that there will be at
leaBt three hundred starters, and that all the leading colleges,
schools, cross country and athletic clubs, will be represented
in this gigantic cross country run. For particulars, address
B. C. Williams, President aod Chairman, Entertainment
Committee, 104 West Fifty-fifth Street, New York City.

T. P. Conneff, .of the M A C of New York, is rapidly re-
covering and there is some possibility that he may be strong
enough to run in the championship games.

The following are the rules for lumping as recently adopt-
ed by the American Athletic Union.

RULE XVIII. — JUMPING.

Seo. 1. All jnmpB shall be made without any assisting de-
vices.

A fair jump shall be one that ia made without the assis-
tance of weights, diving, somersets, or handsprings of any
kind.

In all handicap jumps the scratch man shall be entitled to
try last.

Sec. 2. The Running High Jump — The measurers Bhall
decide the height at which the jump shall commence., and
shall regulate the succeeding elevations.

Eich competitor shall be allowed three trial jumps at each
height, and if on the third trial he Bhall fail he shall be
declared out of the competition.

Competitors shall jump inorder as placed in tbeprogramme
then those failing, if any, Bhall have their second trial jump
in a like order; alter which those having failed twice shall
make their third trial jump.

he jump shall be made over a bar resting on pins, pro-
jecting not more than 3 inches from the uprights, and when
this bar is removed from its placs it shall be counted as a
trial jump.

Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump shall
be counted as a "balk," and three successive -'balks" shall
,be counted as a trial jump.

The distance of the run before the jump Bhall be unlimi
ted.

A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his
turn, and by bo doing forfeits his right to again jump at the
height he declined.

Sec 3. The Standing High Jnmp.— The feet of the com-
petitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the
ground only once in making an attempt to jump. When the
feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are made
in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without
result.

With this exception the rules governing the running hiRh
jump shall also govern the standing high jump

Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump.— When jumped on
earth, a joist five inches wide shall be sunk flush with it.
The outer edge of the joist shall be called the scratch line,
and the measurements of all jumps shall be made from it at
right angles to the nearest break in the ground made by any
part of the person of the competitor.

In front ot the scratch line the ground shall be removed to
the depth of three and the width of twelve inches outward.

A foul jump shall be one where the competitor, in jump-
ing off the scratch line, makes a mark on the ground immedi-
ately in front of it, and shall count as a trial jump without re-
sult.

Each competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best
three shall each have three more trial jumps.

The competition shall be decided by the beat of all the trial
jumps of the competitors.

The distance of the run before the scratch line Bhall be
unlimited.

IN THE SURF.

Several swimmers look a dip in the surf on Sunday last.
The bath proprietors think that the Beason will open early
this year. They also predict a very warm season.

Wm. Greer Harrison ex-Pre3ident of the Olympic Club and
several other prominent business men have decided to open a
first-class salt water bathing estableshment at the corner of
Sntter and Stockton streets on the lot now occupied by the
old Vienna Garden Building.

AT THE OARS.

There will be a meeting of the "Jolly Land Lubbers" at
the house of the Triton Swimming and Boating Club Leaven-
worth and Bay Streets to-morrow afternoon at 1:30 for the
purpoBe of re-organizing for the Beason of 1890. Atinelunch
will be served at 2:20.

Sunday was another fine day for the oarsmen. The Pioneer
Club sent out four orews and seven single scullers.

The most important event during the week was Ihe accep-
tance of Charley Long's challenge by Fenry Henceman of
Stockton. The race will come offon Sunday March 16 at the
Alameda Mole course and will be started at 11 o'clock.
The principal attraction will be the Btartiog and finishing of
the race at the end of the mole, thereby doing away with ,the
long and tiresome walk of over a mile and a half down the
bridge.

Lone has improved over a minute in the past year and he
has plenty of friends who are willing to rish their last cent
on the result of the race.

ThePless Bros, with Pbelan and Finley of the Arie's
rowed around to Harbor View Park last Sunday, and after
having some clam chowder and "wet goods' returned to
their boat house.

The Columbia Club of Oakland have a committee out mak-
ing arrangements for the holding of a regatta on the waters
in front of their boat house. The committee expects to be
able to get some of the San Francisco clubs to help them
out.

Mr Ferry of the Union Club of Sacramento says that bis
club will join the Pacific Rowing Association after it receives
a copy of the constitution. Ee says that there is an in-
creased activity amongst the members of the club.

A committee of the Alpine Club will make an effort to rent
the Yale boat house ia Oakland for the use of the Amateur
champion crew, consisting of Henry Tank, John J. Larkey,
and H. O. Farrell. The crew will begin training at ouce and
will make a big effort to carry the championship back to
their dub mateB.

Kentucky was (or years concede i the premier position a?
»he most suitable location in America for raising thorough-
bred stock, but iu the course of the last few yeais, Mr. Hag-
gin has been so successful— both as an owner and breeder—
that the fame of Rancho del Paso h*s spread all ovt-r the
known world, and is univeisally acknowledged to be Ike
breeding farm in America. 01 course tbis could not be
brought about without a lavish expense of money and time.
"Borne was not built iu a day," but was the result of years
of patient labor, and in a similar way the ranch near Sacra-
mento has been gradually, but surely, placed on a brrn basis.
While the tune of Rancho del Paso was spreading— as a
thoroughbred stud farm— John ilackey, the superintendent,
than whom there is no better authority in California on old-
time trotters, haviog been a driver and trainer of trotting
horses years ago, was carefully pickiog up well-bred trotting
marea and relegating them to the Sacramento or Kern
county ranch, and at the same time Echo 462, a son of Rya-
dyk's old horse, was purchased for a sire; while later on
Algona 11543 (bred at Fairlawn), a son of Almonl 33, was
secured, and last of all Albert W., 2:20. was purchased to
cross with the fashionable strains of blood already secured.

Owing to the universal interest taken in thoroughbred
stock the trotters were not educated, bat were allowed an
easy existence until fire years old, and the geldings were
then sold unbroken, but having secured a son of Electioneer.
and with a mark of 2:20, it was determined to inaugurate
yearling trotting 6ales as well as the thoroughbred sales.
This year there will necessarily be quite a large number of
older horses sold, but in order that it shoo ll not be Baid
that the best were being saved, every one of Albert W.'a get
will be offered by Messrs. Easton in March.

When the first announcement of the sale was made most of
our breeders scouted the idea of taking what they called un-
known colts to New York to sell. Little did they know what
they were talking of, and many a one will rue the
day he said it, when he sees the 92 head in New York.
One of our oldest and most prominent breeders was in Sac-
ramento last week, and since his return said to me that he
had no conception, and he was sure no one in California
had, of the quantity of regally bred and grand looking
youngsters located on the Rancho Del Paso. The consign-
ment are nearly all unbroken. The yearlings have in a few
instances gone through a little kindergarten exercise, having
been exercised a few weeks, but otherwise nothing has been
done.

The stallions whose get will be offered are Albert W (11333)
2:20. Echo 462. Algona 11543. Del Paso 11807, Western
11334, Cornelius 11335, and Rob Lee.

Aloert W, foaled lb7S. is a beautiful hard bay, with black
points (one hind pastern white.) He has an almost perfect
thoroughbred intelligent head and neck, with good sloping
shoulders, neat strong back, with great murcalar develop-
ment behind, having very tine powerful quarters while he
has plenty of bone, good clean bocks and good feet. He is
by Electioneer 125, dam Sister (sister to Aurora 2:27) dam of
Rouanza 2:29£, by John Nelson 1S5, grandam the Lamott
mare.

John Nelson IS", wss by imported Trustee, out of the Red-
mond mare by Abdalldh 1, and wits the sire of Nerea 2:23J,
and three others in the 2:30, besi tea being grand sire of a
no^t in 2:30. The Lamott mare although nohiog was def-
initely known about her, was evidently an exceptionally well
bred mare for she was the dam of Aurora 2:27 and grand dam
of Albert W 2:20 and Bonanza 2:29J Albert W has therefore
a doable Abdallah cross with a thoroughbred cross, through
JohnNelsoo, of Trustee one of our best hn. orted horses. As
a race horse Albert W was a grand success. As a three year
old, he won three races out of lour, and as a four year oH,
he woo five hard races and was only beaten once (by Sweet-
ness. In bis race at Oakland he displayed great endurance and
gameness. seven ht-ats being trotted with Sweetness 2=21|,
Nellie R 2:174, andPoscora Hayward 2:23V Sweetness toot
the first two heats, Nellie R the third an<l fifth, and Albert
the fourth, sixth and seventh, outstaying the others. He
wound up the season of 1382 by easily winning a two mile
race 5KWj and 451, it being generally acknowledged that he
coahi have btaten the two mile record if necessary. Albert
went into winter quarters with a four ye*r old mark of 2:22.

In 1884 Albert redoced his record to 2:20£ and beat Mauon
at Petaluma, winning the first, third and nfth in 2:22£. 2:22*
and 2:26. In 1885 Albert beat Sister at San Fraocisco, tak-
ing the first, third and fifth in 2:23f 2:24 and 2:26 In 1886
he took the tir^t heat at Nevada City in 2:,,0. McCouneil
(Buster) who drove hirn when be made his record, 2:20, an i
also when he trotted in 2:20V, says he could eaoily have trot-
ted in 2:15, the day he went in 2-J20J, and he several times
drove him ia his work at Oakland in 2.17, while the day he
went in 2:20 he was dead lame and only his sheer gameness
carried him through. He was then retired for good and was
afterwards purchase! for Mr. Haggin. His colts are like the
horse, wonceifolly docile, and intelligent. Only two of his
colts have been trained, the twin filly (Aarelia) and Little
Albert; the latter at two years old showed a 2:28 gait, but
never recovered from an attack of cerebro spinal nieninginitis,
and was not worked afterwards. Anrelia showed tremendous
pace and woald probably have trotted in 252 had she been
persevered with, as she several times showed a 2:20 gait at
Oak' and

ECHO 462, RECORD 2:37$.

Bay horse; foaled 1866. Bred by Jesse T. Seely, Warwick,
Orange Co , New York.

As will be seen from the pedigr-e below, Echo is royally
bred. He is a son of Rysdyk's ola horse, and on his cam's
side he is a grane'eon of Mignolia. a son of Seely's American
Star; the combination of the Star and Hambletouian blood
being invaluable. Echo was a good performer himself, beat-
ing The Moor and Vaughn a two mile heat race, and among
the other performances of his daughter Echora, iu 1875 when
three years old, she distanced Beautiful Bells and Arabia,
and was the only horse in California to beat Director, which
she did in 1882 at Santa Rosa, never allowing the black horse
to get a heat.

Among others of Echo's get Victor is probably as grand as
most horses at present on the track, having proved his

staunchness many a lime as did Gibraltar, Echora and in fact
all of his get that have been trained. Echo is also the sire of
the dams of Direct 2:18} and Pink 2:25.

Algona 11543 was foaled in 1876, at General W. T. Withsr's
celebrate! Faiilawn Farm in Kentucky. He is hyAlmont 33,
dam Emma Kincaid by Conscript, grandam Effie Dean by
Mambrino Chief 11, great grandam by Powell's Benrand.
Almont was the sire of Fanny Witberspoon 2:16$ and 31 oth-
ers b?tter than 2:30; also of Westniont picer 2:13$ and gtand-
sire of innumerable others, Algona therefore a son of one of
the best stallions m Amenci and has a double infusion of the
invaluable Mambrino Chief blood. Algona is a rich chestnut
and Addie E., the only one of his get that has been trained,
obtained a record of 2:22A at Chico, taking the 1st, 4th and
oth heats in 2:22*. 2:25 and 2:26$.

Cornelius 11,335 is a handsome bay horse, a Nutwood all
over, and but for an accident would have bad a low mark.
He is one of the handsomest horses in California, and has a
pure square gait, while his breeding of course is exceptional.
rie is by Nutwood 600, 2:18$, dam Jennie G. by Echo 462.
grandam Jenny Noyes, 2:40 (dam of Gus 2:26$), Cornelias'
colts are like himself, handsome and powerful, with good
legs and feet and rapid action.

"Western 11,334 is a full brother to Whippleton 1883, sire of
Lillie Stanley 2:17J, Homestake 2:16*, etc. He is by Ham-
bletonian Jr. 1382, dam Lady Livingstone (dam of Lady
Blanchard 2:26£) by General Taylor, son of the Morse Horse
6, grandam the Lou Mill* mare.

Hambletonian Jr. is by Hambletonian 725, out of Aschat
by Hambletonian 10, grandam by American Star 14, great
grandam by Abdallah.

Western s breeding is wonderfully go^d, and Whippleton
hBs proved that it reproduces itself, for he added two more
to his list of 2:30 performers last season, and is now the sire
of five iu the 2:30 list.

Bob Lee is by Nutwood 600, first dam Blackbird (the Sin-
gleton mare) by Blackbird482,out of a Morgan mare Bob Lee-
is grand looking, neat, short backed, powerful chestnut
horse and is getting good stock, useful as well as ornamental.

The \earlings which will be offered in New York were all
looked over. They are, with only one or two exceptions,
branded under the mane, and in men'ioning them I will use
these brands. They were a remarkably clean limbed, good
looking lot, none of them having any blemishes and being
particularly healthy looking and big and strong. The first
looked at was of course Mabel's (sister to Beautiful Bells)
foal by Albert W. It is branded 18 under the mane, and it
a grand looking bay filly with black points. The head is
well shaped, though rather spoiled by the drooping ears
derived from The Moor blood, while the filly has a beauti-
ful neck and good shoulders, with a good back well ribbed
up, and a remarkable length from the hip to the .-title, with
guod hard, clean legs and sound feet. When out iu the min-
iatnre exercising ring the youug^ter's action was so taking
that it was useless to spsculate on what will be the price bid
when Mr. Easton e; quires, "*Vhat am I offered for a daugh-
ter of Albert W, 2:20— by Electioneer, the greatest living sire
— out of Mabel, a sister to Beautiful Bells, the dam ot Bell
Boy, etc. Such a chance will not occur again for years, and
bidders wilt be as thick as flies on molasses- The colt and
filly by Albert out of Maud and Ma Belle, daughters of Eoho
and Mabel, were then looked over. The colt, branded 6, was
brought out into the ring. In appe ranee be is a lengthy
bay colt with t.lack legs, very highly finibsed and racy look-
ing, has a beautiful thoruugbred head and neck, with an
almost perfect set of legs and feet. When started gomg in
the ring he seemed to know no gait but trotting, and went
down tue hundred yards of straight like an old horse, with a
low, easy, frictionless, rapid, reflate action, which was very
deceptive, for he was going at quite a 40 clip then, and as
one of the spectators (who should know, hadcg seen him
often) said he hid never seen a horse square off and trot so
much like old George VViikes. The filly out of Ma Belle is
branded 20. and is almost a counterpart of the colt, though
hardly as rangy. Her action is a little higher than bis, but
is very r»ptd. The more one looked at the two the more
one wondered what a cult and filly bred as they were would
fetch. No. 22 was then brought ont at Mr. Hendrick-
sou'b (the oue time owner of G. M. Patchen Jr. 31)
request. She was another bay filly with a splendid Albert
head and neck, nice sloping shoulders, a good back, beauti-
fully ribbed up, and a rather straight but speedy looking
hind leg. Her action is as much like her sire's as it is
possible to be. She is by Albert W, dam Echota, by Echo,
grandam Lady Gray by Algona, great grandam by Odd Fel-
low, a son of Jack Hawkins.

No. 3 was next brought out. He is a magnificent look-
ing chestnut colt with a star and hind fetlock white; be
is a powerful compact sturdy looking colt, almost a horse
now, and when started up round the ring; was in my opin-
ion the best of the lot. He moves in a resolute, determined
way, stepping a little too high in front perhaps, for some
captious critics, but moving very rapidly and bending hiB
kuees and hocks well, getting his hind legs well under him
and seeming to know no gait but trotting, and as fast as a
bullet. Irrespective of racing, as a sire be should be worth
bis weight in gold, for even the hypercritical cannot find a
flaw in his breeding, by Albert W, dam Galena, by Nutwood,
grand dam Eudora by Volunteer 55, next dam by Seely's A-
merican Star, out of a Seagnllson (son of Duroc) mare.

No. 1 is a big lengthy chestnut colt with a good loug back,
big knees und hocks, Dice short cannon bones and a pure
natural gait. He is by Albert W, out of Riea Clay by Sayres

and a g-»me wear and tear look about him. He is by Albert W.
ont of a mare by Exile (eon of E ho a ud Belle Mason by
Williamson's Belmont) out of Rosa Clay.

No. 11 ia a roundish gentlemanly looking bay colt with a

snip and one fetlock white. His looks alone should sel him
while his breeding is equally good — racing too; he is by Allert
W. out of a sister to El Monte 2:29 by Echo out of Lightfoot
by Hubbard (son of Planet) out of Brunelle by Rifleman, out
of Fannie Frasitr by Bertrand.

No. 15 is a strong, rangy, muscular, brown colt, white

ing mover, and fast with every indication of extieme speed.
He is by Albert \V., out of Nellie Doon by Echo, out of Nellie
by Muldoon (son of George M Patchen Jr. 31 and Victress, dam
of Monarch 2:231, by Williamson's Belmont), 3rd dam by
McCracken's Black Hawk 767, 4th dam by Williamson's Bel-
mont.

mare

The next stripling interviewed was a filly— half sister to
Cornelius, by Albert W, dam Jennie G by E:ho, out of Jeu-
uie Noyes, dam of Gus 2 26$. She is a big, lengthy, rather
leggy filly, with slightly crooked hind legs, but built on
speedy liDesand is a sweet mover.

No. 14 is a chestnut colt with three white stockiogs and a
star. He is a sturdy built, rather underszed, but neit colt,
by Albert W., out of Nan, by Echo out of Nancy, who was
well known as a race mare, but her pedigree coulJ never be
traced.

No. 13 is a thick set, dark brown colt, taking more after
The Moors than the Electioneers. He is a very rapid gaited
colt with plenty of style. He is aD iLbred Moor by Albert
W, dam by Sultan, grandam by The Moor.

No. 5 is a brilliant bright bay c «lt by Albert W, out of the
Jones ruare (dam of Senator 2:2U) by Winthrop Morrell 373.
He is a good stout bu»lt, loose guted colt, with a very taking
action, and should be one of the high priced colls at the
sale.

The Jooes mare was bred at WiDthrop, Maine, and was
purchased from Wesley & Balch for Senator Johu P. Jones of
Nevada, but nothiug is known of her dum, though anyone
can tell from her appearance, even wi-hoot taking into con-
sideration her produce, that she is a well bred mare.

No. 4 is one of the gems of the catalogue; he is a big brown
colt, the biggest in the lot; a loose limbed, raDgy customer,

square, straightforward aciion. He is by Albert W , out of

in tbis colt, as can reidily be seen, unparalleled strains
of Hood, and any quanity of the blood of Rysdyk's old
horse close up.

(iBig Jim" Garland an^ W McCormick has purchased from
Theodi-re Winters the colt Black Bart by Three Cheers The
p;ice given is not stated, but he is cheap at any reasonable
figure, for I have received positive assurance that he ib a firet

Monroe Salisbury Esq. of Pleasanton has sold to D. M.
Reavis of Chico the well known stallion Monroe Chief 2:18$,
by Jim Monroe, dam Madam Powell. He haB also pur-
chased from Mr. Reavis two Director fillies for which he
paid $6,000.

D. Scott Qninton is paying a visit to his many friends in
San Francisco. He reports ihat Marcus Daly will not have
any trotters on the track tbis year, and although he has had
stveral flattering offers for s »me of his horses, be positively re-
fuses to stll any of them.

James Corcoran, well and favorably known to all h< rsemen
of the State, haB located at the Oakland track, where he will
be prepared to lake horses to train. Jim is a good, capable
man, sober and indus'rinns, and will give eatitfaction to any
cne who may patn n'zc him.

In the list of horseB likely to start on the circuit this year,
published in our issue of Jan. ISth, Belle A. wa^ credited as
having a record of 2:32. ThiB was an oversight of :he com-
piler as Belle A. made a mark of 2:29 at Sacramento, on
Thursday, the second week of the fair.

Joe Courtney has started East with the Winters' two year
olds, the destination being Nashville. Alf Estill, the stable
manager, will leave Reno on Sunday to take charge. Now

A dispatch from Monrovia, Lo* Angeles county, says: An
alarming disease prevails among horses. The symptoms are
those of cholera. Veterinarians btlieve they have bten poi-
soned. E C. Valentine's valuable sorrel horse died in the
early part of the week. He had a record of 2:40J

At a meeting of the Directors of the Sonoma and Marin
Agricultural Society, held at Petaluma last Saturday, they
decided to add Contra Costa county to the list of Counties
from which boises are eligible for all district races. As Con-
tra Costa has several breeding farms, there should be large
additions to the usual entry list.

Now that the figures are being made up, it seems Onward,
2:25j, leads all the sons of George WilkeB in the number of
trotters to bis credit. He has twenty sis 2:30 performers in
the list, twenty-three trotters and three pacers. Red Wilkes
is a close second, wi'h twenty trotters and sis pacers.
Onward was foaled in 1875, and Red Wilke3 in 1S74.

The newly elected officers of the Seventeenth District
Agricultural Association: M. L. Marsh, President; Charles
L. Mitchell, Vice-President; I. J. Rolfe, Secretary; Senator
E. M. Breston, Trea-urer. The races will be held at Glen-
brook Park, in tbe week beginning August 19 h. This makes
another clash in the northern circuit. The associhtious
all seem at loggerheads this year.

From the weights announced for the Brooklyn Handicap
it would seem that Sir Dison has a pretty good cinchjon fir^t
money. The Suburban weights are far from being pqnitable,
and alreadv complaints are being heard. In the Volunteer
Handicap Flambeaa and Followcharm are both in very favor-
bly, bat many changes oonld be advantageously made, that
is if a close finish would add to the attractiveness of racing,

Jame3 A. Dust m has accepted a r oaition at Palo Alto, being
second in command to Chae. Mnrviu. ThiB will be a great
relief lo Mr. Marvin, who in the past h&s bad to do both
training and finishing as well us the driving, but now that he
has "Jimmy's" master band to assirit him, the work should
prove less arduous.

My old friend Daniel Geary, who for the last five years
has been associated with Wallace's Monthly and the Amer-
ican trotting register, haB joined forces with the N. Y.
Sportsm in having severed his connections *ith tbe former
publications. Mr. Geary ib one of the best cUalogue com-
pilers in the country and is at present getting up a very com-
plete one for Wm. Corbitt of the San Mateo Stock Farm.

L. M Lasby has bought of G. A. Lackey, of Lincoln Co.,
Ky, one three-year-old ch f by St. Martin, d*m by Harry
O'Fdllon; 2nd dum by Bayonette, etc., for $300 Also, of
Jas. B. Gentry, of Lincoln Co., Ky , one two-yeai-old b f by
Leonatus. dam Trumpetia by Trampington (son of Leaming-
ton and the Gloaming by Glenooe) for £400, and hes shipped
them to NaBhville to j -io the rest of hiB string. The Leooatoa
filly is a full sister to Chion Music, who will soon be heard
from.

Some weeks aso we acknowledged the receipt of a band-
some picture of Nutwood 2:1S| from his owners, the Stoat
BroB. of Dubuque, Iowa. Since then we have received a
companion portrait from the Woodburn Farm, of the late
stallion Belmont 64, which is a very handsome Btriking like-
ness of the great horse. He i* the t-ire of Nutwood, 2:1S|;
Wedgewood, 2:19; Viking 2:19^, and twenty-nine others in
the 2:30 list. There is a very marked resemblance between
Belmont and his great son Nutwood.

Many of the sporting papers of this country has made the
assertion that the Melbourne Cap of 1890 will be the richest
event ever contested for, but I am inclined to the belief that
tbis is a mistake A little figuring, part of which will have
to be gue sing, will tend to show that the cup will not be
worth as much as the futurity of 1890. Tbe owner of Chaos
received more money for winning the Futurity last year
than will the owner of the nest Melbourne Cup.

Sneaking of tbe Melbourne Cup. theN. Y. Spirit says: "We
ought to have such a handicap here, one like it at two mileF,
not the miserable little quarter horse cocktail affairs which
are bo common. Ben Brace in his Live Stock Record advo-
cates long distance handicaps, and hiB idea is worth adop-
tion," and I heartily concur. The much despised Clifton as-
sociation, under the able management of Mr. C. V. Sass. has
inaugara'ed a series of the old time long races and they have
been highly successful Let the good work go on.

P. J Phillips, a prominent farmer and well known horse-
man who recently purchased the Jirah Luce ranch in Men-
docino township, died at Mrs. Patterson's boarding house,
in this city, at an early hoar Monday morning. He had been
sick only nine days and his symptoms were not regarded as
serious until a day or two before his death. For Borne months
paBt he had been giving pergonal supervision to the training
of bis trotting Btock at Agriculture Park. Being of a genial,
jovial disposition, be made many friendB here by whom his
death w 11 be much regretted. Tbe deceased was a native
of New York and aged 59 years. The remainB were taken
charge of *>y his son from HealdBburg, where hiB wife and
two sons xe&ide, and in which community he was well known
and highly respected.— (Santa Rosa Republican.)

The Cali'ornians who are planning a summer campaign
either in Montam, or futn*-r East, should not forget the
Overltnd Club of Denver. The directors are offering liberal
inducements to horse owners, the betting is always good there,
the accommodations are of tbe best and the track is a first
class one, bo that a lay off at Denver may prove a profitable
investment for those contemplating an .bastern lip. Read
the advertisement.

From Bruce Cockrill. wbo came down from tLe ranch on
the Arroyo Seco Thursday, we learn that the grand old
thoroughbred stallion Ironclad, property of tbe Cockrill
Broa., died Jan. 27tb, from the rupture of a blood vessel in
the brain, says tbe Salinrs Democrat. This is a sad loss as
tbe animal wns very valuable, and was greatly prized by tbe
owners. Irooclid was 21 years old but spry as a colt up to
the day of his death.

'Anrelius' inaoommun'cation to the New York "Sportsman' J
refers to that brancb of tbe Mambrino family represented by
GeB. Benton. Com1* to think of it, AureHns iB right. Bam
b'etonian 10 Btan^* fir*t as a speed producer in that line.
General Benton 1755 second, ^od Mambrina Chief ll'.third.
Who dare predict that General Benton's 'branch' will not ib

of time? and poBBibly presB hard upon HaruMetonian's heels.

There are a great nnmber of mares, trotters and thoroagh-
bred?, who bavo slipped foals in this vicinity, and breeders
are at a loss to account for their number and frequency, says
the Live Stock Record of Lexington, Ky. It has been a re-
markable open winter and the grass is green and succulent.
1 imeare inclined to think that the action of frost on the
green and Bucculent grass Ib the cause of tbe miscarriages,
the bowls becoming relaxed from the improper nature of the
foi.d. Besides the nutuie of food Stonehenge, says: "Excite-
ment of any kind is a fertile Bource of 'slipping' the foal, and
anything which is at all likely to have that effect Bbould be
carefully avoided. Tbe tmell of blood is Baid to have a very
prejudical influence in this way, and there is no doubt that
one mare miscairying will in some mode affect others in
proximity to her. PoBsibly the same can se may act on all,
but it seems to be generally concluded that the act is really
contagious, either from what is called sympathy or in some
other aB inexplicable way."

Mr. Sibley's comparative tableB between the race recorcs
of Geo. Wilkes' and Electioneers produce seems to have
raited a hornet's neet around that gentleman's bead, the
very best proof that tbe Wilkes' camp has been tafeeD by
surprise. The most amusing part is the claim now made
that Electionepr bad the very best mares that money could
orocure; whereas two or three years ago Eastern visitors
would return from Palo Alto commenting on tbe Infericr*
rl-tss of mares that were used and owned at that establish-
ment. The toughest thing to get over ib tbe fact tbat, as
regards 'fashionable' breeding, the majority of them were 'in-
ferior', butbave bfen made 'great' and 'fashionable' through
the potency of El-ctioneer himself.

'Primus' in the N. Y. 'Spirit of th-e Times' loses his temper
and forgets bis manners, closing his atticle as follows:

'■'After carefully studying the outline of Electioneer, etc.
etc , etc."

Fie! Primus! Fie! Go look at William L's leg! But

it came to knocking the persimmons! But Sunol held a

The Breeder and Sportsman contains an advertise-
ment of the offer for sale of the race track and grounds
of the Sonoma County Agricultural Park Association,
in Santa Eosa. The sale is announced to be made by-
sealed bids, and not by public auction. Bids will be re-
ceived until Mooday, February 17th.

The sale of an established race track of wide and pop-
ular reputation is an unusual event in the records of the
turf; still sales of the kind have been made in California
and in the older Spates of the East, owing to circum-
stances and conditions. But the offer of sale of a lead-
ing race track, finely equipped, with ample and hand-
somely arranged and carefully cultivated grounds, fitted
equally for local annual Argicultural Fairs and stated
■easonable racing meetings, is in California an extraor-
dinary circumstance.

The property offered for sale consists of eighty four
acres of choice land eligibly situated within one mile of
Santa Eosa. To it an elegant drive extends from the
railroad depots and from the principal points of the city,
by cleanly roads and pretty 3uburban homes. These
grounds comprise the handsome Pavilion, built in 1883,
the capacious grand stand, the stands for the judges, offi-
cers, reporters and turfmen; the loug lines of stables for
horses and sheds for catile; the sheep pens and depart-
ments for swine and poultry, etc. These buildings are
in good condition. The tracd is reputed one of the bett
in the State, with good turns and a fine home stretch. A
secure high fence is built all about the track, and is well
shaded and protected by a dense green hedge. An un-
failing supply of water is assured. Adjoining the track
and pavilion site is an area of delightful rides and strolls,
of indigenous trees of shade and beauty, and of nut-
bearing trees of choice variety — black waluut and other
kinds.

More interesting to any who contemplate the purchase
of this class of property is the character of the track and
its history. The Association was organized in 1S7S as
an Agricultural Park and Fair Association. Since that
year, until 1889, annual fairs and exhibitions have been
held, with varying success, but generally with gratify-
ing measure of prosperousness and brighter hopes. The
Association has, first and last, expended in the purchase
of the grounds, the erection of buildings, in securing
permanent water supply, iu improvements of every
kind, a total of $40,000. Lands in the yicinity, with
simply ordinary farm improvements, command from $175
to §275 per acre. A sale at $300 per acre is of record.
The buildings of all kinds have cost above $12,000. A
line of street railway runs between the track and the prin-
cipal streets, near the Court House. A fashionable and
favorite drive is out to the Park grounds, from the city.

Among the noted breeders who were early patrons of
the Santa Rosa track the names of Judge James Mc M.
Shafter and Theodore Winters are recalled. During
later years the foremost of the turf regularly attended
the annual fairs and meetings. Careful management,
good order and pleasant association, gained reputation
for the place and drew large attendance. Noble spoit
was cultivated. Leading horsemen visited and raced
their best horses. Santa Eosa was duly assigned a
favorable place in the ranking circuit — Sinta Eosa.
Petaluma, Napa, Oikland, Sicramento, Stocktou and
San Jose. The track and arrangements had advanced
to prominent popularity.

With its records of the past to its recommendation, it is
at first glance unaccountable that a property so eligible
and so valuable as this Santa Eosa race track property
is, is now offered for sale. The people in aud about
Santa Eosa will be much affected by a sale unless the
track and grounds are to be continued in their present
use. It will be a mistake in much consequent effect if
the ground and track shall be abandoned and diverted to
other uses.

Santa Eosa is in the fronting category of Fairs and
Turf meetings, and to drop out of this prospering line will
be equivalent to a recessiou of her former and fitting
consideration. Souoma County cannot afford to allow a
sacrifice of the property to carry with it the abandon-
ment of the annual fairs which have so worthily distin-
guished Santa Eosa in past years. The greatest events
of the turf are expected to occur in California, with Cali-
fornia bred horses, id the year now opened, and Sonoma,
with Santa Eosa, occupies pri1«ful position in the reck-
oning. The merits of Anteeo, of Dawn, of Albert G„ of
Button, and of others of high speed, are remembered and
Bhould not be forgotten nor neglected. The S*uta Eosa
race track should belong to Sonoma citizens, and be
held by them to its accustomed uses.

The P. C T. H. B. A.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tion has advertised the colt stakes and purses for its fall
meeting of 1890. Its first was the most memorable and
phenomenal trotting meeting in the history and annals
of the trotting turf and in its benefits to the trotting
horse interests and breeders of this coast, it fairly
eclipsed the great advertisement and impetus that those
interests received through the great National Trotting
Stallion Eace of the preceding year between Stamboul,
Woodnut and Antevolo.

After the great race alluded to, each of the competi-
tors therein sold for what were then considered excep-
tional prices, Stamboul bringing $50,000, Woodnut $20,.
000, and Antevolo $18,000. It will be noted therefore,
that a good hor9e may be beaten and still brin^ a small
fortune. There is no doubt but that in the main, these
handsome figures were the result of that one great race,
Mr. Bonner doubtless gave between $40,000 and $50,-
000 for Sunol and did this, before she had, and when but
few, if any, believed that she could publicly prove her
ability to beat Axtell's record of 2:12. Does anyone
doubt (had the 'dicker* not been made in such good
time) Mr. Bonner would not have willingly added 25 or
even 50 per cent, to the higher sum named to have be-
come her owner after she had achieved 2:10j?

We know that $35,000 was offered and refused for
Eegal Wilkes. Here then are two three-year-olds and
one of them a filly, that would have sold for abont as
much as the three aged stallions brought as the fruits of
the Dreceding year's race. The prestige that Faustino
gained by his remarkable mile (on the same day that
Sunol and Eegal Wilkes made their records), would, had
he been placed under the hammer after that achieve-
ment undoubtedly have balanced the values of the three
stallions without a cen's allowance over the aclual sale
price of Sunol.

There is not a breeder of trotting horses imong us,
eveu though he own only one good broodmare but was
benefited by the prices obtained or offered to fortu-
nate possessors of these wonderful colts. The prices and
the remarkable achievements of the col's are a standing
advertisement of the valuable and productive blood
strains that are used on the coast, and are an advertise-
ment which will annually bring hundreds of purchas-
ers from the East in search of a few slices of the good
things we are so lucky as to own.

The fact that the opportunity for these great things
are afforded by and are under the management of an
association conlrolled by reputable breeders and lovers
of the trotting horse, intent upon reviving and building
up the public interest and confidence, in fair and honef*
speed contests on the trotting turf, is a guarantee that
nothing so much as savoring of a 'job* is or will be per-
mitted, and it therefore becomes the duty and the inter-
est of every breeder on the coast to lend his aid, financial
as well as mural, to strengthen and support that associa-
tion.

We regret to say that last year many a breeder ex-
cused himself from joining the association at that time,
on the grounds that he had no colts to start at its first
meeting. Others, again, gave as a reason for not sup-
porting it, the fact that the Directors had failed »o offer
any stakes in which they might enter the produce of
their untried stallions other than against the get of such
phenomenal speed producers as Electioneer, Sidney, Di-
rector and Guy Wilkes.

Those giving the first excuse we would remind that,
had the one hundred or less gentlemen who gave their
time, labor and money and took the risk of meeting with
financial disaster, looked upon the formation of the asso-
ciation in as narrow a light and with an eye solely to
immediate self interest, there would not have been to
exceed two dozen members, and the grandest of trotting
meetings would not have been held in this State.

To those who decline to risk defeat by measuring the
speed of their colts against those of Electioneer, Guy
Wilkes, etc., etc, we would say that the present Board
of Directors have offered fair purses, entrance whereto is
payable in easy installments, and to which only the pro-
duce of Btallions that have no representatives in the 2:30
list are eligible.

Tho breeders do not, as a rule, look to money makiDg
as the prime purpose in entering their colts in purses and
stakes. Their main idea is to advertise their stallions
by the public performances of their produce, and with
this belief in view the Directors have wisely restricted
the amounts of purses and stakes, and have made the
payments lighter and easier than they were last year to
those whose entries may be injured or otherwise incapa-
citated from starting.

The stakes and purses already advertised will close on
March 1st next, and with the exception of the Stanford
Stakes, are, 60 far as horses owned on this coast are con-
cerned, confined to those owned by members of the asso*

1890

The membership or initiation fee is $25; the annual
dues $10. Surely there is no man owning a stallion
standing for as small a sum even as $35, but what can
afford to give the value of one Btallion service in the in-
terest of such an association. It cannot but be returned
to him an hundred fold within three years and perhaps
leBS time, and will certainly go further to help him than
the offering of $100 apiece for any and every colt by his
horse that may be placed in the 2:30 list..

The P. C. T. H. B. Association should number between
four and Eve hundred members, and if it does not show
at least two hundred names of reputable breeders and
owners of trotting horses on its roll from this State alone
before its next meeting, all we can say is that they can-
not or do not appreciate and realize the benefits that
accrue from an association of its character, and with its
objects and purposes.

Probably the greatest and most popular of trotting
meetings held in this country is the Breef ers' Annual
Meeting, at Lexington, Ky., under the management of
just Buch a society as was organized here last year, and
whose name is at the head of this article.

In Kentucky, second only to California as a producer
of great trotting horses, and way ahead of it so far as
numbers bred are concerned, there are neither bickerings
nor jealousies between the great breeders, nor as between
the great and the small breeders; they hang together,
swear by each other's horses, and help one another,
knowing that in so doing each one is helping himself.

Of course it is not, and cannot be, every breeder's luck
to own a great Bire— a phenomenal producer of Bpeed;
neither can everybody afford to pay $50,000, or even
$5,000 for a stallion, but there is money— big money— in
trotting horses at far lower figures than those named,
and for every man who seeks a $50,000 stallion, there are
a thousand who will choose the purchase of a well-bred
one at $1,000. and a still greater proportion seeking
individuals at $500; and who dare predict that the mod-
est $500 stallion will not out-trot, out-last, and out-
breed the $50,000 fashionable aristocrat:-' Such things
have happened before, and they will continue to happen
as long as breeders use their brains and the "proved"
trotting strains. Today fashion sells; to morrow blood
tells, and, presto! blood becomes a new fashion, and
fashion again sells!

There is no telling whose well bred, but untried stal-
lion, is on the brink of fame; nor whose $20,000 or
$50,000 stallion may not be tottering over the precipice
of oblivion. Like breeds like, or the likeness of some
ancestor, is the corner-stone of the breeder's beliefs and
theories, but unfortunately the ancestors are sometimes
very disheartening material, and when the colt of to-day
turnB out to be the likeness of one of such ancestors, his
$30,000 purchaser, on the strength of fashion and indi-
vidual performance only , is apt to bitterly rue his haste.
The least known stallion on the coast to-day, if bred
right and bred on, may three years hence be command-
ing $250 or $300 per mare; therefore it is that we say
the interests and benefits of the great and prominent
breeding farms are those of every breeder on the coast,
and in no way can all breeders better uphold, strengthen
and advertise those interests and share in its benefits, than
by encouraging and supporting, or, to use plain English,
joining the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeder's Asso-
ciation, and swelling the list of entries to and of starters
in its colt stakes and purses.

Persons desirous of fully informing themselves as to
the purposes and objects of the association, should apply
to the secretary, Jas. P. Kerr, Secretary, 313 Bush St.,

tion now in the printer's hands.

A German H>rse 'Exposition.

*

After the many horse expositions that we have had in
the United States within the past two years, and also the
annual horse fairs held in Great Britain, it would seem
that Germany is about to follow in the footsteps of the
countries named, as we have received a notice from the
German Consul, which as it is self explanatory, we

copy in full.

San .Francisco, Feb. 5, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The Union Club in
Berlin is arrauging for a general exposition of. German horses
to take place at Berlin during the time from the 12th to the
22nd of June, 1890. It will be the task of the enterprise to
ihow the development of horse breeding in Germany, and to
, manifest that the product there is not inferior to that of
itber countries.

Being aware that California holds a high rank in the pro-
motion of fine horses, and assuming that the readers of your
' isteemed paper will take some interest in the matter, I beg to
'isk \ou to advise them of the exposition at B9rlin through
1 he columns of the Breeder and Sportsman. I am, sir,
roars most respeotfully, Adolph Rosenthal.

Consul for the German Empire.

D. Scott Quintin's Interview.

"Great Scott! What yer givin' us?" The exclamation
naturally rose to our lips on perusiDg the interview of D.
Scott Qnintin by the Horseman's representative. "Id Cali-
fornia, even the rubbers get $50 a month!" Good enough
(for the rubbers, if they only got it)!

Scott Quintin did not strike ns as 'that sort of a fellow'
when out here, and we are afraid that either he must have
been indulging iu Jersey apple-jack or the other chap muet
have had something stouter aboard when that interview was
held.

"We were preparing to go back home (with Yolo Maid)
when there were propositions for matches."

Every body here knows that Yolo Maid was 'off' after the
Breat race she raced at Saoramento; everybody also knows
that Adonis was just working iDto form when he came
against her there and that there was no day after that race
uotil rain fell, but that he wonld have fotced the gallant
mare to badly beat the 2:12£ she then put to her credit three
consecutive times to have won the race from the speedy son
of Sidney.

We all saw Yolo Maid work out two heats in the Bay Dis-
trict Traok during the Breeder's Meeting better than 2:16,
the last quarters in 31£ and 31J; tut etill friend Quintin
claimed his mare not to be 'at herself and was unwilling to
start against Adonis. We take aB much pride in Yol > Maid
as in Adonis, possibly more, friend Quintin, but Mr. Daly
was not lying at the point of death during the Breeder's
Meeting, at which his borse, Lord ByroD, started in the
free-for-all.

"FavoDia scared them all, however, for when I entered in
the California Circuit everybody else drew out. When we
crossed the mountains there was one class in which I had
made an entry, aud promised not to name Favonia."

We will wager a big red apple that Scott Quintin never said
any such thing; nor that he made any suoh promise. We are
perfectly willing to acknowledge that one of our breed-
ers publicly stated that he would not start his five-year-old
stallion against Favonia; but as to Palo Alto, Alfreds., Lot
Slocum or Lillie Stanley being afraid to start against Favonia,
that is all 'in my eye.'

Before Mr. Quintin started for his mountain home (aside
from the Breeders' Meeting) for his fast and game mare, as
an inducement to bring her along, and if I am not misin-
formed, the same promise was accompanied by the sup-
plementary one, to send her back home 'beaten' by one, if
not two of her competitors.

"When we went to California with Mr. Daly's string we
found the local taleDt intrenched in the good graces of the
race managers."

We hope that D. S. Qnintin will publioly disavow having
made any such innuendo against the 'race managers' on this
coast. Those same managers or some of them under whom
Mr. Quintin trotted his races, 'managed' to do pretty fair
justioe to Mr. Crawford in his $10,000 bet again6t odo of our
most populir horsemen, when as Mr. Crawford has himself
said, the time as it would have been announced anywhere in
the East, would have lost him that bet. The -fact' in the
latter aud the 'innuendo' in the former instance seem
rather ill-mated — they don't hitch!

Mr Quintin noio has the floor!

Challenges.

O. A. Hickok, Esq., City:—

Dear Sir: Ab you would not accept my proposition to
make a race befcwen Adonis and Roy Wilkes, to take place
Feb. 15th [proposition made (he first week in Dec], I have
concluded to match Roy Wilkes against Adoois at the time
you wanted to go last Dec, viz., the first week in April. I
will make this match for $2,500 a Bide, to take place at the
Bay District track on April 5th, 1890. We can arrange re-
garding the gate receiptB. staiting judge and judgeB later on.
I shall exDect you to reimburse my expenses as per your tel
egram to me at Chioago, before I started, viz. transportation
'or myself, horse and man to and from Chicago, with any
incidental expenses appertaining, all of which are close to
$400: to be ascertained, however.

I have deposited $500 with the Breeder and Sportsman,
as forfeit, where I will meet yon at any time to arrange fm-
ther particulars.

Roy is, and will continue to be, in stnd Bervice. I shall
leave for the East with him the second week in April, and
hope you will agree to the above date. I arrived here, you
will remember, Nov. 4th; will have been here five months,
surely long enough to make a race. I want an early reply.
ReBpectfully,

L. A. Davies.

Mr. C. U. Cory, San Jose. Cat : —

Dear Sir: I noticed in a San Francisco weekly paper of
Feb. 8th, also in the issue of same paper of Feb. 1st, that you
had expressed a willingtess to match your horse against Roy
Wilkes 2:12|.

I have several times offered to make this match, and have
deposited a forfeit of $500 for a match from $1,000 to $5,000
a side without avail. You have never in any of your letters
offered to make a match for any Bum, but have alwayB been
quite non-committal, yon expressing yourself thus in answer
to my challenge to go for $1,000 a side: "$1,000 a Bide is
too small a sum for two such great horses to compete" for.
Ask Mr. Davies if he will go for $5,000 a side;" to which I
promptly replied through our mutoal friend, Mr. Alex Waugh,
"Yes." You did not appear to cover the forfeit, but evaded
the point, and replied that you were very busy, etc.

For the lait time I will say that I will match Roy Wilkes
against your horse [Almont Patcheo], aud I sinceiely hope
you will accept odo of the propositions made herein.

1st. I will match Roy Wilkes against your horse for $2500
a side, best three in rive, to harness.

2nd. If you will bet $3,000 to $1,500, I will match Roy
Wilkes to go to wagon, your horse to go to sulky; best three
in five.

The race to take place on March 29tb, at the Bay Distriot
track, the winner to take all the net receipts.

I have deposited with the Breeder and Sportsman a cer-
tified oheck on the Paoific Bank for $500 forfeit, for either of
the above propositions, and will meet you there at any time
to arrange further details.

Koy Wilkes is now doing stod service and will continue in
that capacity up to the first of April; he will cover from twen-
ty to twentv-four mares,

Thus handicapped, you Bhould not hesitate in makmg one
of the above matches.

Roy Wilkes will be taken East the second week in April,
and can not go la'er [iu a race] than the time mentioned. We
shall have nearly two months for preparation, so there. will
be no advantage gained by either horse on that score. I
hope to hear from vou promptly. Very reBpeotfully yours,
San Francisco; Feb. 10th, 1896. h, A." Davies.

»AM FA.VW FERN BY JACK HAWKINS

Son of Boston.

The grandam of Maud S, (2:08?O was by Boston and
le grandam of Jay- Eye-See (2:10) was by Lexington,
m of Boston. So Balkan is the same remove from
■ostontbat Maud is, and one remove nearer than
ay-Eye- See.

Fanny Fern has produced Molly Drew, Onyx, Fred
mold Molly Fern anu Balkao, all by different sires.
Balkan's sire and dam both being producers, and he
ainga trotter himself with a record of 2:291-2 (three-
jar-old) and tinned separately 2:22 1-t in 4-year-old
take, Bay District Track. October 14, 1889— it is but
.irto presume that he will get trotters of the high
it order.

DESCRIPTION.
He Is seal brown, 16-1 ihanda high, in style rivalled
i few, and excelled by none with !a3 pure a gait as
is yet been exhibited in public — bar none.
Balkan will be at Oakland Trotting Park for the
ason of 1890. and will be limited to ten mares, at
M fee, In order to be put in training early, as it is
orally certain that if given a reasonable opporton-
/ he will be fast enough to compete with the best of
B age. For further particulars, address

4th dam EMMA MILLS, by Seely's American Star,

Dam of 4 horses that have 2:30 performers. The gTeat broodmare sire of the world.

The above pedigree should show every intelligent breeder thit Don Marvin is "high" bred though very
strong in trotitng blood. All the comment it is deemed necessary to make as to the value of "thoroughbred
Dlood"in the trotter is simplv to refer to the very significant fact that the first and second dams of Maud S,
2-08&, Joy-Kye-See 2:10. Sunol, three years 2:lu 1-2, Palo Alto2:12!i, Anteeo 2:16#. Nutwood 2;18&, Wedge-
woo l 2:iy, arid mar_v other successful si'es and sensational trotters of the day are thoroughbred.

TERSIS— Djn Marvin will make the ensuing season from February 1st to July 1st, 1890, at 340 the sea-
son, with the usual privilege of returning the mareraext season if no; proving in foal. Mares from a distance
met at the cars or boats on notification, and.c*re fully handled, but no responsibility assumed for accidents or
escapes.

DEXTER PRINCE.

The property of L. M- Morse, Lodi, California.

We present to our leaders a likeness of the royally bred
horse, Dexter Prince. In blood and speed lines he has no
superior. He is by Kentucky Prince, the sire of Gny 2:10$,
Spofford 2:18}, Company, 2:19|, Bayonne Prince 2.21J, Pred
Folger 2:20}, and many others. Kentucky Prince was him-
self one of the speediest horses, and could trot at a phenome-
nal rate of speed. In the presence of Governor Stanford, Mr.

David Bonner timed him quarters at a 2:10 gait. DexterPriuee's
dam is Lady Dexter, full sister to Dexter 2:17j. Dictator,
the greatest sire of speedy and stayiug trotters, Astoria 2:29},
and Alma 2:28:}. On the dam's side there is Jay Eye See 2:10.
There is no stallion in the world that has such speed on both
sides; 2:10$ and 2:10. Dexter Prince had the highest rate of

speed as a two y^ar old. Governor Stanford timed him quar-
ters in 32} seconds, and Mr. Marvin drove him eighths at a
faster rate of speed than that. Dexler Prince has size, con-
formation and power to a marked degree. He is a sure foal
getter, and his services nre put at suoh low figures as to put
hiB blood and speed lines within reach of everybody.

National TrottiDK ConsrreBs.

[3y onr Special Commissioner.]

The 13th biennial congress of the National Trotting Asso-
ciation was held in one of the parlors of the Iroquois Hotel on
Wednesday of last week. Among those present were
David Bonner of New York, Peter P. JohnBon of Lexington,
Kv ■ Cicero J Hamlin of Buffalo, Hamilton Bnsby of New
York Dr J W. Diy of Waterloo, N. X., C. A. Emery, W.
I Edwardsand W. B Fasig of Cleveland; W. H. Wilson of
Cvnthiana, Ky.: T. O. King of Hartford, Jesse D. Carr, Cal-
ifornia C H.'Page of Philadelphia, J. F.Holmes of Carthage,
J L Mitchell of Milwaukee. TJ. C. Blake of Iowa, K.B Coo-
over of Patterson, N. J-, William McDonald of Hoosio Falls,
Georee M. Robinson of Elniira. John R. Graham of Boston,
Geor»e W Archer of Rochester,;j. Wood Martm of Phlladel-
pbia,°John E. Green of Kentucky, and many others.

The coneress was presided over by Jodge Peter P. John-
ston of Lexington, Ky. Secretary Moore and Treasurer
Powers w-re also present. The calling of the roll occupied
considerable time.

Mr John E Green of Louisville, Ky , moved to appoint a
committee of rive to nominate officers for the ensuing two
years The motion was carried, and the Chair appointed
Messrs Green of Kentucky, Page of Pennsylvania, Kerr of
California, Blake of Iowa, and King of Connecticut as suoh
committee. . ,. , , .

Mr Pa^e of Philadelphia Bpoke very feelingly of the
ereat'loss Sustained by an esteemed member of the associa-
tion ihe Boo. Beojamin F. Tracj, Secretary of the Navy.
He said Mr Tracy was largely interested in turf matters,
and was mentioned for President of the association at the
la-t meeting. He said the hearts of all were in sympathy
with Secretary Tracy.

He ofEeted the following resolution.

RoBolvPd fbat tbe members of the National Trottine Association,
assembled at Buffalo, N. Y., February 12, 1S9U, hereby tender their
deepest and most .-incere sympathy to the Hon. benjumn F. Tracy,
Secretary of tbe Navy, and to each of the surviving members of his
family in their terrible affliction.

Mr H M. Whitehead, of New York, also added a few
words praising Mr. Tracy's efforts to elevate horse breed-
ing etc., and said he was held in high esteem in trotting
circ'lts The resolution was adopted unanimously.

Mr. Page nest offered the following, which was adopted
with unmistakable alacrity.

Whereas The Board of Review has been restrained by the court
from iuves'tigatinp tbe charges of fraud pending against 0. H. Nelson.
F. L. Noble and tfeorge <i. KoLens and the noises Nelson and Alcryon,

Hesolved, B" tbe Congress of the National Trotting Association, that
the said parties and horses are hereby suspended from all privileges
on tbe courses in membership with this association until such in-
junction is dissolved and the said charges are legally investigated by
tbe Board of Review.

Later in the session Mr. Nelson appeared before the con-
vention and made an apology for invoking the aid of the
court in the matter, and promised to have theinjrmetion dis-
solved at the earliest opportunity. He also said he would
accept whatever penalty the Board of Review might impose,
with resignation.

President Johnson said he was glad to see Mr. Nelson take
this actioD, and he promised that the case would be disposed
of justly and as rapidly as possible.

Secretary Mor3e then presented his report, from which we
cull the following:

The number of persons and horses remaining under penalty
December 31. 1889, is as appended:

persons suspended 2,705

Persons expelled 209

Horses suspended 1,4U5

Horses expelled 128

Whole number 4 447

The secretary's report of two years ago will show that the
number of persons and horses suspended were:

persons suspended 3,317

Persons expelled 178

Horses suspended. 1,974

Horses expelled HI

Whole number 6,5B0

Deducting the number of men and borses under penally of Bus-
pension and expulsion, as above, December 31, 18B9 4,447

Shows a decrease in the aggregate of 1,133

It also shows that the Board, under a rigid construction
and administration of the rules, has increased the number of
expulsions oi men and horses by 48, while at the same time
tut number of men and horses under suspension has been
diminished, notwithstanding the entries have been much
more numerous in consequence of the aggregate increase of
the trotting interest. It is firmly believed that the rigid en-
forcement of the rules as to the discovery and punishment of
frauds will in the near future show a corresponding decrease
in their attempted perpetration. In this connection it may
be said that Jit the commencement of the trotting season of
1890, a special ciroular was sent to the members, calling
attention to Rule 7, Section 3, and giving specific instruc-
tions thereunder, and there is no reason to doubt that many
fraudulent contestants have been detected thereby.

The following is a condensed report of receipts and dis-
bursements for each of the years 1888 and 1889, the vouchers
for the Utter as audited by the committee being on tile in
the office:

The Treasurer's statement, appended hereto, will show
the receipie and expenditures in detail of both the associa-
tion and general accounts, including the trust fond.

To show tbe vast inter- sts controlled by our members, it
may be stated ihat in 1889 they offered in Btakes and parses,
in round numbers, more than $1,000,000.

In conclusion, the Secretary Desires to congratulate the
members on the fact that the apsociationwas never in a more
flourishing coudttion, financially and otherwise.

Treasurer Powers of Hartford submitted a financial state-
ment for the years I8SS and 1889. The receipts for 1883
were $27 002 20, of which $9 920 was from members' fees
and $3,005 ironi tines. The receipts for 1889 were $31. 148.-
50, <>f whicb the membernhip fees netted $10,014 and fines
$2,085. The d'«b'ir-«ementa tor 1888 were $13,341.77 and
for L889, $14,315 27. The balance on bund on January 1,
1890, whs $10,833.29.

President Johustou, in behalf of Mr. C. J. Hamlin, invit-
ed the officers, members, and newspaper representatives to

be his guests at a banquet at the Hotel Iroquois in the eve-
ning. On motion of William E. Edwards of Cleveland the
invitation was accepted and a vote of thanks- given Mr.
Hamlin.

The committee on rules presented a long report, read by
G. M. Fogg of Nashville, Tenn. A large number of changes
in phraseology, etc., was submitted.

Dr. J. W. Day of Waterloo, N. Y , offered an amendment
to one rule in relation to the identification of horses. He
suggested that certificates be Issued to owners and drivers of
horses. "There are too many 'ringers' traveling around the
country, and some such means should be adopted to put a
stop to the disreputable practice."

He offered the following amendment: —

Any association may require of any nominator in case of doubt and
identity or elegirility of any entry a certificate signed by two repu-
table citizens of tbe place where the horse is owned with t'.e county
clerk's certificate of the county where the horse is owned, giving a
complete description of the horse, age, pedigree, if known, color, size
and particular marks.

Mr. Hamlin and others strennously objected, and when
tbe motion was put it was lost by a large majority.

The report was adopted, and tbe c >mmittee was given a
vote of thanks. Thanks were also bestowed on the officers
and members of the Board of Review.

A communication was received frum the general Secretary
of the Union Clubs of Berlin, Germany, in reference to the
issuance of certificates for the importation of trottiDg horses,
introduced in Germany. The rul« committee asked that the
subject matter be referred to the Board of Review with pow-
er to act. This was adopted.

The nominating committee reported the following list of
officers for the next two years, and the report was unani-
mously adopted: For President, the Eon. Peter P Johnston
of Lexington, Ky.; first Vice-President, David Bonner, of
New York; second Vice-President, W. W. Stow, of San Fran-
cisco. Division Boards: Eastern District, George M. StearnB,

Pacific District, N. T. Smith, San Francisco: Jesse D. Carr.
Salinas; Frank L. Coombs, Napa, Cal,; Central District. G.
M. Fogg, Nashville; William E. Edwards, Cleveland; Wra.
Russell Allen, St. Louis.

President Johnston briefly returned thanks for the honor
conferred.

The president was authorized to appoint a new committee
on rules.

Mr. Edwards moved that the next convention be held in
New York City. This excited a pleasant strife. Mr. Vail
uamed Hartford, Mr. Green urged the claims of Lexington.

Mr. Page — "New York and Kentucky wants the earth."
He nominated Phildelphia. Mr. Blake proposed Cedar Rapids
and San Francisco, KaneaR City, St. Louis, Nashville, and
Rochester were also named. The first vote settled the mat-
ter in favor of New York, and the president was authorized
to name the hotel.

The congress adjourned sine <lk at 6 p. m.

The Arlington Jockey Club's Inaugural Meet-
ing.

Santa Barbara, Feb. 10th, 1890.

The meeting of the Jockey Ciob was a decided success.
The attendance was more than expeced, and the events of
the afternoon were interesting. Iu the first event, one quar-
ter of a mile dash, there were sixteen horses entered, tour-
teen of which started The race was run in heals and the
first and second horse of each neat ran a tinal heat for the
purse. The first heat was easily woii by the favorite. The
tollowing borses tan in the first heat:

Grimbo, sorn-l gelding, entered by H. B Dtryerand ridden
by him. Lovely, rown gelding, enttred by J. O Minot and
Blue Rock, roja, gelding, entered by Bayard Thayer.
The favorite Grimbo won easily, time 27 seconds. Mr. Dwy-
er surprised all by his shrewdness and good horsemanship.
He roae Grimbo with judgment, saving the gelding and still
winning the heat. Lovely was second.

The second heat had the following starters: Nellie B., b
f, entered by Bennett; Billy sg. entered by Mr. Carter; Laro
b g. entered by W. W. Hollister. This heat was won by
Laro, Billy 2nd. Time 27| seconds.

Third Heat — The following horses ran: Bob, br g eDtered
by C. Divers; Nellie Grey, g f, entered b> Bradford; Nellie
Bly, b f. entered by Clancy. This heat was interesting The
horses got off to a splendid start and they ran like a team,
but under the wire Bob got his nose first in :25f, Nellie Grey
2nd. Mr. Divers who entered and rode Bob handled bis
yearling so cleverly that the sports were surprised, and ad-
mired his style of handling the gelding. It was soon learned
that Mr. Divers was of "jockey reputation," and that he had
ridden and won many a gr*ni race in his younger days.

The fourth heat wad run in slow time and the favorite
won easily. Domino, s g, entered by C. Gates; Flay, b g, en-
tered by W. S. Barnes; Jane, b f, entered by H, Doulton.
Domino, 1st: Jane, 2nd. Time, :244>

The sports came around tbe pool box and the pool sellers
were kept bUBy. The eight horses that were to run the tinal
heat were the first and second of each heat. In the pools
Grimbo sold for $6; Bob, $4; Domino, $3 and tbe field for
$2. A great many pools were sold and the favorite had
money left when the eight horses went for the starting point.
The eight horses were soon at their post and the official
starter, S. P. Stow, soon dropped the flag to a most beautiful
start. It was a hard struggle, for every inch of the distance
was desperately fought by Grimbo and Bob. Doryeaon Grim-
bo and Divers on Bob. The result was a surprise to the tal-
ent. Bob won the first heat and race by the shortest of
necks in 25J seconds. Grimbo w»s defeated, but it was no
disgrace to the gelding or bis rider, for the horse did his best
and his rider did all that a jockey conld do to land him first,
but Bob had a little more speed. The admirers of Charlie
Divers and Bob were very much elated over the victory. The
winner is a brown gelding, seven years old, out of a sorrel
mare, pedigree untraced and by the speedy quarter horse Rob-
bery Boy, sire of Comet, half mile record b0, 5-S of a mile in
1:02. Also the sire of E R. Deu's Bobby, record one-qa«rter
dash ;22$, Sid Law half mile record ;50 and other sprinters.

The next event was the Thayer Stakes, half mile and re-
peat. The following horses came to face the starter: El
Semito entered by Seth Loomis; Captain Jinks entered by Sid
Law; Charlie K. entered by Kissel; Mary entered by Doul-
ton; Lima Beans entered by Stoddard; Pete entered by Brad-
ford; Lightfoot entered by Duryea.

In the pools Lightfoot sold for $5, Pete for $3 and the
field for $2. The talent thought it was impossible for Light-
foot to lose the rac°. The horses were given the word go to
an even start. Lima Beans took the lead immediately after
leaving the post and was never headed, winning the heat by '
a length, Lightfoot second, Pete third and Captain Jioks
fourth; time, 56$ seconds. After the usual time between
heats the horses came out for the second trial. It was a repe-
tition of the first heat, Lima Beans wiuning easily. Captain
Jinks second, Pete third, Lightfoot fourth; time, 57j.
Frank Stoddard, who rode the winner of tbe Thayer Stakes
reminded one of Don Quixote attacking the windmills which
he took for enchanted giants. He swung bis arms as though
getting up a strong breezy and his legs kept time with his
arms, and bis sonorous voice wan distinctly heard as he rod©
Lima Beans in, a winner. His friends shouted themselves
hoarse. This race ended tbe day's sport, and the six hun-
dred people present came away fully satisfied with the meet-
ing. The officers of the Arlington Jockey Club are sitisfied
with their success, and on the 22nd of February they will
give a series of events which will draw a large crowd and
many horses, fnr the purses wiH- be increased and all horses
in the county c... compete. W. S. Barnes and H. B. Duryea
worked indefaligably. and the success of tbe ineetng was
largely due to their efforts, which are thoroughly appreciated
by the public.

From Ventura came J. G. Hill to look at the native horses
tup. Mr. Hill owns tbe Block Farm in Ventura county call-
ed Los Palmas. Be has many fine bred horses which ho
will sell at a low figure, as he wishes to retire from the busi-
ness. He has a beautiful sorrel, three year old by Guy Wilkei
2:154;, out of a mare by Ulster Chief; 2nd dam May Qneen
2 26. Also Fayett King by The King be by George Wilkes,
dam by Beecher. Mr Hill has a beautiful stock (arm, and
many fine horses. At Los Palmas A W. Richmond past his
last years and from there came Dotty Dimple, Ella Hill, Wild-
idler, and many others. I shall in the near futcre, give a
full list of horses at the Las Palmas Breeding- Farm,

The Race Track Question.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— In my last week's let-
ter advocating the bnilding of a speed track in tlie neighbor-
hood of the Ocean Honse Road, I stated that the bnilding of
the Great Highway would soon be commenced. I have now
the pleasure of informing you that work upon it was com-
menced last Saturday by the Park Commiaaioners. The
State Legislature, foreseeing that one day or another this
city was bound to extend from bay to ocean, wisely reserved
a strip of land, 200 feel broad, lying between high water
mark aDd the boundary of private property, extending' from
the Cliff House southerly to the Coonty line, for tbe purpose
of a grand boulevard. This driveway when completed will
form a marine parade unsurpassed in the world. The Park
Commissioner 3 have commenced upon the strip bordering
the Park, and work will be pushed through as faBt as the
funds of the Commissioners will allow. The strip of land
belongs to the State, and is all under the jurisdiction of the
Park Commissioners- considering the great exU-nt of the
Park still unimpruved, it is extremely doubtful if the appro-
priation for its improvement will prove sufficient to pnsh the
completion of the Great Highway as rapidly as the wants of
the city require. Therefore it is to be hoped tbe Legisla-
ture will make a special appropriation for tbis purpose, and
such a course should be advocated by the press.

In my last letter I pointed out the benefit that the con-
struction of a speed track in tbe immediate vicinity of the
city would be to owners of race horses, trainurs, livery stable
keepers and horsemen generally. Now let us look at tbe
subject es it effects the general public. A fine race track
furnished with all tbe conveniences of good stabling, etc., so
Bitaated, would give a great impetus to racing, and it would
not be necessary for horses to go Edst to earn a reasonable
profit for their owners. A good track easily drained and keDt
in good condition during the winter months, would naturally
increase the number of meetings helJ during that period, and
it once the interest of the public whb aroust-d, the attendance
would prove sufficient to guarantee liberal purse*. Tbere is
no State in the U don where horses can winter bo well as in
California, and if once such a track was in running order
and the purses sufficient to give horses a chance to ''earn
their oats," Eastern flyers would be brought across the
Rockies and the interest in home racing be thereby greatly
increased. Let it be understood that in transportation facil-
ities, as in everything else, the demand creates the Bupply,
and 'that, therefore, as soon aB the public wanted to go to
such a race track, say to the old Ocean House track, the
various roads would make extensions to supply tbe necessary
transportation. With the presence of E.stern horses the
various events on the card would draw large crowds and
lovers of horsea from all parts of the State would visit the
city for such race meetings. The money spent by such vis-
itors could not fail to benefit all branches of business and it
would naturally follow that the more attractive snch meet-
ings were made, the larger the profit gained. Unless the
railroad companies both in and out o' the city, the hotels and
leading restaurants and saloons are biiud to their own inter-
ests, they would at once subscribe toward purses and stakeB
to be offered. The merchants, who would find their country
customers brought to town by a large and successful race
meeting, would naturally follow Buit, and i< would not be
many years af .er the establishment of such a track before the
winter* meetings at San Francisco would vie in interest with
the most important meetings now held in spring, summer
and fall in tbe Eastern and Western States The anxiety of
race horse owners that their stables should gain something
during the winter months is fully shown by the numbers of
horses of a good class which have been rnnniDg since the
close of the regular racing season at the El zabeth, Clifton
and Guttenberg tracks. It is unnecessary to point out th-a
difficulties which exist in racing on Eastern tracks during the
winter, or to compare the attractions of such tracks in an in-
. tensely cold climate with the advantages which would be
offered by an equally well arranged track here. If owners
will run their horses through the winter in New Jersey, they
would certainly do so in San Francisco, providing, of course,
if the same money inducements were held out. The bright
sanshine and green grass which usually characterize a Cali-
fornia wiuter, would not be without their attractions, and
greatly add to the inducements to winter horseB here. It
appears to me that the matter lies entirely in the hands of
the people of thi* city. If they choose to establish a good
race track and offer liberal purses during the winter months,
a very large Dumber of Eastern horses would come here,
many thousands of visitors from the interior, Oregon and
Nevada, would be attracted to the city, and business would
be duly improved thereby.

If the right men take hold of thie business in a right way,
it cannot fail to succeed. It is not a speculation, but a pure-
ly business proposition. Remove snch a track beyond the
limits of this citv and county, however, and the support of
the majority nf San Franoiscoans would be lost. I therefore
believe. Mr. Editor, that the site of the old Ocean House
track or some other piece of tbis light, sandy loam country
bordering the Ocean Hoase road is tbe locality which should
be Btlecied for a racetrack. The old track is but a short
distance from the Great Highway, which is bound to become
the fashionable driveway aDd great pleasure resort of this
city. Its construction is bound to cause railroads other than
the H Street road, now running south of the Tark, to be
built to the beach, and there is therefor* no reason to sup-
pose that by the time the track has sufficient attractions to
induce the general public to visit it, any difficulty as re-
gards transportation will exist.

You may think, Mr. Editor, that I am unduly interested
in this matter, but allow me to state that I have been a
resident of California for forty years, and love it dearly and
firmly believe in its great future. I am thoroughly acquainted
with the racing business of this coast, aDd have during my
sojourn here owned some of the best trotters. Under these
circumstances you can understand the interest I take in this
matter of a race track, which should, if properly placed and
managed, directly and indirectly benefit aDd develop this
city. VVhy, with our usually fine winters, should not San
Francisco become a pleasure resort? Why should it Dot be
made a clean, handsome city, whose attractions, including
several important race meetings, would bring thousands of
Eastern people to pass the winter ssason here? Why should
it not become a pleasure as well as a business city? Cer
tainly nature bas done all iD her power to make it ODe. CaD
we Dot have well paved streets, clean sewers. Hoe buildings,
beautifal driveways and successful race mei tings as well as
any other city in the world? I believe we can if we try, and
a great Btep toward supplying amusement for our guests
would be a fine race track. Let the siluriaD days be wiped
ont, and in racing and everything eUt- a new and successful
era be commenced. Will not tbe daily press take up this
matter and thoroughly ventilate it? The breeding of race-

horses has become of so much importance to California that
anything which effects the wellbeiog of the breeding interest
like the want of a proper race track, is certainly worthy of
public consideration. I sincerely hope the press in general
will take up and agitate the question for the benefit of the
eDtire commanity of this city. There can be no doubt that
every line of business here would be financially benefitted
by the holding of important race meetings, and such meet-
ings cannot be held without a well appointed and properly
located track. C. S.

Yolo County News.

Woodland, Feb. 9tb, 1890.
Breeder and Sportsman:— Turf aDd horse matters gener-
ally have beeD greatly hampered aod circumscribed by wind
and flood tbe past winter but now that the glad sunshine
has dispelled the clouds and dried np the mud, horsemen
are again beginning to assume their usnal animation and en-
ergy so that Yolo still promises to maintain her position in
the front ranks as a prodncer of fast horses. Among the
pacing cootigent of Yolo, Tom Rider, Belle Button and J.
H. are most prominent.

Each of these has its particular friends and admirers.
One has seen Tom Eider go an eighth in 15£ seconds.

Aoother speaks o( the fast miles Belle went last year when
out of condition, and another of what J. H. might have done
if handled diflereDtly.

Tbere are other races coming to the froDt here among
which may be mentioned a brown mare by Tilton Almont,
dam by Odd Fellow owned by Mr. Barry of tbis place. She
showed well last year for her chances, and there is no ap-
parent reason why she should not make a good one.

Sheriff Weaver has a three year old pacing Btallion by Alex
Button, dam by Dietz's St. Clair, of whom much is reasona-
bly expected. G. W. Woodard has other young pacers be-
side Belle, and it is currently reported that he has the mate-
rial with which to lower the yearling pacing record.

The trotters of Yolo are altogether too numerous to men-
tion. Dr. Boucher has had his stable quartered here this
winter. In addition to J. H. he has Gen. Logan, four year
old stallion by Ales Button, dam full sister to dam of Yolo
Maid. This colt trotted as a yearling in the Sacramento
colt states, winning second place, and was timed separately
in 2:59. He has not been worked much, but will be given a
Bhow this season. The genial doctor has also Silver King,
by Mulvenna. that showed a mile last ytar as a two year old
close to :40, and other good ones. Tbere are some excellent
colts here by Caliph, a Hnely bred son of Sulian, some of
which will be worked this season.

Mr. Woodard, who has a one array of colts, is beginning
to marshal his force for the season's work. The JohnBtown
flood, which recently swept through his part of tbe country,
greatly retarded his work this season, as it damaged his farms
to the extent of several thousand dollars.

Alex Button Jr., a recent purchase of Mr. Woodard's, is a
colt that, barring accidents, will do great hoDor to the name
of his illustrious sire.

Mr. K. H. Newton, ex-director of the State Agricultural
Society, is one of our most enthusiastic horsemen. He is a
6ne judge of the individual merit of a horse, but can criticise
a pedigree with equal acceptance.

Tbe lightening pacer Tom Rider is at present his star, but
he has some fine colta besides, one by Clay Duke and anoth-
er by Del Rey that are especially promising.

On the other side of the creek, neighbors of Mr. Woodard,
are Hoppin Brothers, who have tine landed estates, and are
somewhat extensively engaged in breeding trotters. C. B.
HoppiD, who has achieved a world wide fame as the breeder
of the peerless pacing queen, Yolo Maid, has many fine colts
by Alex Button and his own well bied stallion Cubit. Last
year Mr. Hoppin rested upon his laurels, but it is under-
stood that this season he contemplates going out again
"among the boys."

Last, but by no means least, among the horsemen of this
country is J. W. Martin, of Yolo, sometimes a contributor to
the columns of your excel. ent paper. He is said to have
many colts that aie no discredit to his handsome, fast and
well-bred stallion Clay Duke. He has also Del Rey, son of
Cay Dnke, that trotted miles last year in his races close to
30 with very scant preparation. These two horBes are fast
enough and well enoueh bred to contribute largely to the
trotting horse history of tbe future. By the wey, new
impetus haB been given to the trotting interest here by Mr.
Martin, having leased the half-mile track at this place. He
will use it for the training and development of his own horses,
and for the use of the public. It will no doubt be kept in
first-class order. It is a good half mile track, and fast 9, hen
in condition.

I am not here for the purpose of attempting to create a
boom in real estate, but it is my honest conviction that there
is no part of this great borse-breediog State better adapted to
the business than Yolo County. The air and soil and water
is suited for the finest quality of hoof bone and muscular
fibre. The native grasses, wild oats and filariee, so noted as
forage grasses of this State, grow here in tbe greatest luxuri-
ance upon the untilled pastures, wbile the alfalfa pastures
afford the most effective means of promoting rapid growth
and early maturity. The cool, dry weather in haying time
insures perfect curing, so that Yolo's hay cannot be beaten
tbe world over.

There are portions of California that are too hot or too dry,
and other portions that represent the other extremes of cold-
ness or dampness but here in Yolo is the happy medinm
bttween all extremes. Here the winters, with occasionally a
rare exception, such as the present, are mild and equable,
the summers dry and cool. Hero iB the horseman's paradise,
where the horse can be brought to the highest degree of per-
fection, and where doubtless on some of tbe great horse faims
of the future will the horsemen's dream — the two-minute
trotter — be realized. Yours truly, Jerd.

I have long UBed Simmons Liver Regulator for my horses,
cows sbeep and chickens. To my horses I give a teaspoou-
ful of tbe powder in a mash three times a week. I find it
invaluable for Cough, Hide-bound or Pneumonia. Giving it-
to my game chickens for Cholera I have not loBt one in the
laBt rive years. I make this statement that mankind may
know Simmons Liver Regulator as a valuable remedy for the
ills of man and beast. — T. G. Bacon, Eigeb'eid, S. C.

-Parties having mares that are barren or irregular breeders
would do well to consult Dr. G, W. Snmp-oo, V. S. Office
and Hospital 19th Street, near San Pablo Avenue, Oakland,

It is said that half the boys at Cliflon would be glad to
take 25 per cent, for the money owing to Iheni by the swell
owners who patronize the racps.

Hypodermic injections of cociine are being used to nullify
the Toguish propensities of some of the runners and are the
regular thing at Clifton and Gotteoberg.

Orrin Hickok says San Diego is the best wintering place in
America for trotters or runners. The new track at Coronada
shoold have a large patronage in the winter.

Mr. Jeter Walden visited the Guttenberg track on the 12th
but was politely informed that the association would enfores
the Clifton ruling and Mr. Walden retired.

It is s<ud the Darebin-Agenoria and the Ban Fox-Queen
two-year-olds will not be raced this season, it being deemed
advisable to give them more time to grow out.

Maud S. 2:08J, whose shoes were taken off has been tramp-
ing around with bare feet on a bed of peat moss. She will
be taken up and jogged on th^- road next week.

E D. Morgan, the New York banker, has recently purchas-
ed some valuable land at Wheatiey, in Oyster Bay, L. I. and
will establish a large thoroughbred breeding farm.

Mr. Elmore {Spokane's trainer) says that with Kiley, who
understands the horse, in the saddle, he will back Spokane

Jeter Walden was, on the 10th of February, ordered by the
Clifton Association to take himself and his horses off the
track for using insolting language to Starter Caldwell and
refusing to apologize to him.

By Holly and John Splan resemble each other closely in
build and feature. Holly has not the oratorical powers of
John, being sententious, cool and matter of fact, but like him
is one of the king pins of the sulky.

Mr. E. L. Israels Thomdale Stud, Lexington, Ky., has
purohased from J. F. Caldwell the bay mare Full Sail, foaled
1885, by Flood, dam Florence Anderson by Enquirer. Full
Sail was bred at Palo Alto Stock Farm.

C. I. Hood, who recently paid $9000 for the sensational
trotting mare Star Lily, 2:20. will retire her from the turf,
but will drive ber on the road double with Maggie Whitney,
the very fast daughter of Lambert Chief.

The New Zealand Stud Company held their annual sale at
Auckland last month, disposing of 41 yearlings for 6,158
guineas. The Nordenfeldt (son of Musket), Nelly Moore colt,
fetched the highest figure, 1,025 guineas.

In addition to Wentwnrth and Nepaan, bred to English
time, and entered in the Derby of 1891, it is ea-d that prob-
ably Abercorn aDd one or two other w^ll-known performers
on the Australian turf, will be sent to England.

Protection, the winner of the Junior Champion stakes las
year, wintered at Latonia. He has grown and thickened at
a great deal, is in hiRh flesh and good health. He should
be among the crack 3-year-olds this season.

The first of the get of old Strathspey, the Bpeedy eon of
Glenelg and La Polka, consequently brother to Los Angeles,
E. J' Baldwin's crack, was dropped*2 weeks ago at Mr. Wil-
liam Hendrie's Valley Farm, in Hamilton, Canada.

A bill has been introduced into the New York legislature
limitiDg the time of racing on each track in that state to ten
days in any one year. There is no danger of its passage, it
being considered merely an effort to exact money from the
clubs.

John Marrs, who trained for Scoggan Bros., last ve^r, has
retired and is succeeded by Wheeler, who trained Wheeler &
Faires last season. The stable has 23 horses, including
Good Bye, who is the favorite of the stable for the Kentucky
Derby.

Mr. Ariel Lathrop last week sold to Mr. Miller, of New
York, the fonr-year-old stallion Monterey by Electioneer,
out of Minx by Don Victor, second dam Minnie by Sparkle,
son of Hambletonian 10. Also a four-year-old sister to
Adair, 2:17J. '

Messrs Fred McEvoy and O'Shanassy, Australian racing
men, have sent their well known race horse Chicago to En-
gland. J. E. Savill will train him and as he bandied Ring-
master so successfully, he should make a good showing
with Chicago.

Mr. A. T. Hatch has been singularly unfortunate in his
entries for the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stakes.
Out of his three entries two of the mares have slipped their
foals, the last being La Signa by Le Grand. She was io foal
to My Guy.

The London Sporting Times contains an interesting letter
from Buenos Ayres. in which the tragical death of Acme is
announced, Annamile being previously poisoned, 'Truth'
says. The South American turf appears to be a vile welter
of blackguardism and rascality.

The Macy brothers have purchased Wellington, the eix-
year-old brother to Snn^l and will pnt him in Bell Boy's
place in their breeding farm io Woodford County Kentucky.
John E. Madden of Lexington, Ky., who owned Wellington
will probably have made a big profit on him.

W. H. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana, has engaged
the well-known Steve Philips, of Washington, Court House,
O , to drive his campaigners this yfar. Mr. Philips has de-
veloped such noted performers as Sleepy Tom (pacer), 2:12^
Lottie W. 2:2U, Lady Rolfe and other good ones.

Mr. Clark Maxwell, the former owner of Galore, paid Grave"
send a flying visit to look over his stable which includes the
Australian racer Fergus II and a two-year-old by Yoltigeur.
A three year old filly by Romney will be sent on from Virgin-
ia to join his horses in training in a few days.

Several leading Australian bookmakers talk of coming to
New York to ply their trade, feeling convinced that Australia
has seen its best day. Joe and Barney Thompson have con.
clnde-i to stay in England bookmaking, and if business is not
remunerative they will then lay siege to New York.

J H. GoldBmitb, who is at his home in Washingtonville,
N. Y., writes that all of his horses have wintered well, and
are looking fine. Gene Smith is fat and strong, and acts
like a colt. Barring accidents Goldsmith claims that the
close of the season will see 2:12 opposite this trotter's name.

Mr. G. Valensiu'e two carload of trotters left for New York
last Wednesday On the cars were several thoroughbred young-
sters of R. P. Ashe's. Mr. Valentin took with him his well
known stallion Simmocolon 2:29h to be turned over to
Jimmy Goldsmith who will train him next season for the
Count.

J. E. Brewster, the Washington Park Secretary, is in New
York on a visit of two or three weeks. He will try to bring
over the Eastern racing officials to the adoption of a mile
rule (forbiddiBg running of any races under a mile for three-
year-olds and upwards) similar to the one recently passed in
the West.

The early Blossom Stakes for two-year-olds was won by an
unnamed Pizarro-Una filly who was at once christened Early
Blossom. The favorite Madge L. was only beaten ahead
after making all the running. She is by Darebin or Warwick,
out of Altitude, and waB sold at the last Haegin sale for §400
to A. Lakelandt

Wood Wattles who was down from his new Healdsburg
ranch which he calls Millbrook Farm, says that the trotting
prospects are good up there, his Anteeo. — Young Miami colt
is very promisng. while the old mare is this year in foal to
Director 2.17, Sweetbriar 2.26 will be properly bred to Col.
Thornton's fast Anteco stallion, James Madison.

William Hendrickson, who in 1862, brought Geo. M.
Patchen 31 to California, has been in the city the last few
days after spending a week or two at Sacramento talking over
old times with the veteran John Williams. Mr. Hendrick-
son is as lively and entertaining as ever, so his friends say.
while his reminiscences are both interesting and amusing.

Among the Pleasanton Stock Farm's sel?ct consignment to
New York a*-e Saccharine, a bay two year old colt by Director
2:17, out of Sweetness 2:21}. Goldleaf 2:11}, the famous five
year oH pacer, and Thistle, a three year old brother to Gold-
leaf; he is a good looking colt and pices like the wind. There
should be rapid bidding when either of the three above are
under the hammer.

The Buenos Ayres Standard says: "Jnst previously to
the big race Ormonde was brought on the course, his appear-
ance eliciting volley after volley of applause. An opportun-
ity of comparison wan thus afforded bb he remained in front
of the Btand whilst the competitors for the International
passed. I may add that he pricked up his ears and seemed
to ask for a ran with tbem."

After all it tnrns out that Henry Walsh will not take Peel,
Racine, Flanibeaa and the other Palo Alto horses East in
the coming season, but will race them in the California cir-
cuit. It i? a great pity that two such slashing three-year-
olds do not get a chance to show their mettle on aa Eastern
track where they would most as*uredlv make a good show-
ing. P. Bridges will, it jb eaid, train the Rose stable.

As yet the Baker County Stock and Agricultural Associa-
tion in Oregon have taken no steps toward holding a race
meeting next fall, but a meeting will probably soon be held
to arrange a programme and fix the date for holding the fair.

The rule of the Board of Censors of the National Associa-
tion of Trotting-Horse Breeders in regard to the names of
trotting-bred horses is: "That every stallion and colt entire
should be registered a name distinctly his own, and that a
name of a distinguished ancestor of sire, or any material part
thereof, should not be repeated in any form when naming
animals further removed than the immediate progeny of said
ancestor or aire."

The exodus of California trotting stock to New York began
last Wednesday with Mr. Valensin in the lead, Pleasanton
Stock Farm, Rancho Del Paso and RoBemeade (ready to
start) are close up for second place and Palo Alto
last. It will be interesting to watch the race. The railroad
is not in a good state and one or the other may be side-
tracked. Which will make the best average at the sale is
almost as hard a conundrum.

The great daughter of Princeps, Femme Sole, 2:20, now
owned by William Rockefeller, the Standard oil king, is to
be sold, together with the entire stable belonging to this gen-
tleman. Few mares in all America have po much speed and
stamina united to 60 many desirable traits for the road or
track as Femme Sole. Ber owner says — and he is so enor-
mously rich that he can hardly care for a few thousand dol-
lars one way or the other— that this mare can trot in 2:15,
and all posted turf men folly agree with him.

The Rancho Del Paso trotting stock are astonishing all the
California breeders by their good looks and high breed-
ing, the Albert W's being of an exceptionally high order,
Orrin Hickok, who handled Albert W for a while, says of him
that his record of 2:20 1b no estimate of his speed and game-
ness, and that he worked him a half in 1:07, and could as-
suredly have finished the mile in 2:15, which was an excep-
tional performance when one considers that at the time Al-
bert was dead lame, but his courage was such that he never
flinched until he was pulled up.

The Duke of Westminster had a couple of yearling colts by
Ormonde. One of these is from Angelica who is closely re-
lated to St. Simon, and the dam of Blue Green. The other
is from Shotover, and thus presents the very extraordinary
combination of having a Derby winner for his aire and a Der-
by winner for'his dam. Only three'.fillies have'woo the Derby,
and one of these has Blink Bonny, who was covered only by
St. Legerjwinners, in all Ormonde has eight foalB in the list,
one of which is dead. These foals are respectively the pro-
perty of the Duke of Westminster, Mr. Marshall, Mr. Snarry
Lord Gerard, Lord Alington, and Mr. Simcns Harrison.

Frank Van Ness entered Bolero in a Tace at Guttenberg,
on Feb. 11th, for maidens, but was not permitted to start hin*
because the Guide says he won a race at Oakland, on Sept.
10th. Fraok Van Ness protested and is correct for the sum-
mary of the race in question should read:
Laorelwood Stables' ch m Laura Gardner, 3, Jim Brown— Avail . . .

Appleby 1

D.J McCarfy's b c Bolero. 2, Norfolk — Neapolitan Narvals 3

Jas. Garland's cb c Llwood, 3, Norfolk— Ballinette Stewart 3

Time, 1:6?&.

The Guide erroneously says:

Bolero, 2, 86 Navais 1

Elwood. 3, 101 Stewart 2

Laura Gardner, 3, 115 Appleby 3

Time, 1:574.

The Directors of the Kansas City Jockey Club have de-
cided to adhere to the new rule fixed at the last turf con-
gress barring horses three years old and upwards from purse
races where the distance is less than a mile. There was
some doubt as to whether all the Western clubs would stick
to this rule an account of the dissatisfaction with it expressed
by owners whos6 stables are largely made up of sprinters,
but notification was recpived from Litonia and St. Louia
that these clubs would stick to the rules and the Kansas
Club decided to do so also- In order to accomodate the
sprinters, however, and satisfy the horsemen the club has
decided to place on the programme a number of heat purses
at five-eights or three-quarters of a mile. This is permitted
under the tnrf congress rule, and will at the same time give
the sprinters a chance and add to the interest of the meet-
ing.

Mr. Wm. Hendrie of Hamilton, Out., has putchased the
following stallions: From Mr. Helterick the chestnut borse
Tornaio, fca'ed 18S1 by imp Glenlyon, daw E>tella, by Aus-
tralian. From M. J. Daly the bay horse Stripling, 5 years by
imp Stonehenge, dam Minority by Narragansett: 2nd dam
Minnie Minor by Lexington. Frnrn E. A. Cattereau, the
chestnut horse Kingsford, foaled 18S5 by imp Bayon d'Or,
dam lone by imp Eclipse. From F. Sasson the che^tnat
horse Prospect, foaled 1SS5 by Hindoo, dam imp Lady Stock-
well by Knowsley. From T. Barratt the bay colt Hemlock,
foaled 1S86 by Hindoo or imp Billet, fldani Mattie Amelia by-
King Alfonso; also the chestnut horse Costello, foaled 1884
by Sensation, dam Gulnare imp Glen Athol. Tbe stallions
will be used for breeding half-breds and hunters in Canada,
as well as race-norses. They are all large. Mr Hendrie says,
and have great bone and substance with quality enough.

The statement of Thomas, the ex Santa Anita trainer in
re — TheEmperor of Norfolk his been copied in almost every
paper in America without comment. It seems a very peculiar
statement for a man professing to be an expert trainer to make.
The Emperor, he said, was at his best shortly before
his breakdown, and, by the way. he averred that tbe break-
down was caused by being yanked and'pnlled in his racesfso
that he might not make a show of his company, and thus let
the public see what the colt was capable of. Isaac Mnrphy
who rode him is one of the best riders in America, especially
noted for his delicate handling, and no one would suppose
that he would have to yank a horse like the Emperor in order
to keep him well in hand. Later on Mr. Thomas said: A
week or so before his breakdown, the Emperor, with
Murphy up, and carrying 125 lbs., worked a mite in 1.38},
and was not fully extended at that. The veteran trainer
must have learned his business in a peonliar school, if after
training and racing a horse as long as he had the Emperor,
it was necessary to jhave a special trial. It looks rather aa
though the gallop a week before his breakdown, might have
had something to do with breaking down. Tbomari
mnst have been threatened with an attempt of la grippe, and
have passed the evening sampling the only oure (whisky our
Field editor Bays), or else have been having a six-furlong
(ri'il for tbe new Veritas handicap when he eaid that the
mite with 125 /ft*, in 1.38} was done without tbe Emperor
beiup fully extended. Asa matter of fact no one but those
who saw tbe trial will believe be ever did it, good horse
though he was.

Matt Feakes, W. Hendrie's trainer, will be married to
W. Hayward's daughter very shortly.

John McConnell (Baster) is goiDg to Carson to work and
drive Mr. Sweeny's horses. He will probably be seen on the
California Circuit behind Mr. Sweenys' four year old pacer by
Gibraltar 2:22}. Buster is as good a driver and trainer as
any of our Californians, and the pacer is said to be as fast
as greased lightDing.

Veterinary surgeons in New York have been kept busy for
the past week with firing irons and blisters. Letretia'was
blistered a lew days ago and Mattie Looram'also received a
dose of the same treatment. The Warnkes called in a sur-
geon to alter a pair of their two year old who are at their Co-
ney Island stable.

The Australian entries for their two.big races, the|Newmarket
handicap and Australian Cap, were very satisfactory ituere are
110 in the handicap, 26 in excess of last year. The cup also
shows an increase 45 being nominated. Carbine the crack,
son of Musket is in both, but Abercorn is not entered iu
either.

The Hon. James White's entrits for the next year's English
Derby include a royally bred colt in Wentworth, a brother to
the well known racehorse Dreadnought. He is bv Chester,
out of Trafalgar, by Blair Athol (winner of the Derby in 1864 )
His grandam is MoBquito, a sister to Musket, the sire of
Carbine.

The Directors of the I2th District Agricultural Association
will meet in Lakeport Feb. 24th, at 7 p. m., for tbe purpose
of organizing and making preparations for the next Fair to
be held in Lakeport. The new Directors from Lake County
are Dr. C. W. Aby and D. Alexander. Mr. Hildreth takes
the place of Hon. S. H. Long in Mendocino.

It seems while R. C. Church, North Elkhorn Stud, has sold
to G. Conkin, New York city, for $20,000 the bay colt Elk-
horn, three year old record 2:2S}, by Onward— Long Lane,
by Long Island Patchen, that it does not become a transfer
unless Mr. Wallace accepts the record and permits the colt to
be registered in the Americin Trotting Register.

It is reported that after the Warnkes have finished racino
Eeclaire, the Bpeedy daughter of Reform and imp. Clara,
will join Mr. August Belmont's broodmares in Kentucky'.
The Banker is said to have paid S5.000 cash, and is to pay
$5,000 more when she is delivered at the end of her turf
career. She was originally bought at the Erdenheim sale for
$475.

The Clifton statistics for the year show that Dan Hoenig
heads the list of winning owners for the year, having the sum
of nearly §19,000 to his credit, earned with horses like Cap-
nlin, Carnegie, Hilda, Can't Tell, Endurer, and others. Mr.
Bxeoig is now a strong upholder of Clifton and Brighton, and
bis success is likely to stimulate other Western owners to
emulate his example.

On February 11th, at Lexington, among olher horses sold,
were Commoneer, br g, 4, by Electioneer, dam Mollie Cobb
ayGen. Benton; A. H. Moore, Philadelphia. $5,600. Elected,
H f, 5, by Eleclioneer, dam Cora by Don Victor; Richfield &
Leathers, Lexington, $5,600 Directorine, blk, 2, by Direc-

or, dam Geraldine by Mambrino Patchen; McHenry & Wil-

iams, Independence, Io., $1,775.

M. T. Downing, owner of Mamie Hay, has been notified
>y the HudBon County Racing Association that they will re-
vive no more of his entries at the Guttenberg track. He
.eemed to have backed his horse with the Argo Clnb at Bos-
on, but the fact that all these tiikele were for bets made iD
me room, a couple of hundred miles away, gave that backing
. peculiar appeaiance, and so the club acted as stated.

Of the 362 stakes reported in Goodwin's Guide as being run
n the American turf last season, over one-half (183 in num-
ber) were won by horses bred in Kentucky. Those foaled in
California won 52 of these events, while Pennsylvania comes
text with fortv to her credit. The other States appear in
his order: Tennessee 26, New Jersey and New York 18
ach, Missouri 9, Virginia 7, Montana 3, Maryland 2, and
.labama and Georgia 1 each.

One of the most useful looking among the maidens at Co-

ey Island is a Chestnut ally 3 years by St. Blaise, and is

. ow in the Hough Bro., Btable, bnt is owned bv Albert

ooper the trainer. She was Durohased from Mr. Belmont by

| Ir. Beruaid through Jimmy McCormiok. When she fell into

| ooper's hands through a trade she had a bad splint. Now

I or legs are perfectly clean, and the filly cannot fail to make

er mark if she reaches the starting post fit and well.

The two new stables being built at the Elizabeth track
ave twenty-four single stalls, each facing the track. An
verhanging roof permits an inclosure, thus insuring a cap-
al winter stable, with an exercise path at least a furlong in
rcumference. The only difference between the two stables
ill be that the one for which the foundation only is laid has

roadway in the center, while the one on which the roof

being put has not that accommodation.

A week ago last Sunday at the Rancho del Paso, Rosa
lay (by Sayres' Henry Clay 45, out of Lady Winfield by
dward Everitt 81, out of a daughter of Rattler, son of Ab-
»llah 1) foaled a chestnut colt with white up to his hocks
id knees, and a bald face. He was a big, strong coir, sired
7 Albert W., 2:20. His color and markings are traceable to
Ibert W.'s dam. and her sire, John Nelson. A yearling, full
■other to the youngster, leaves to-morrow for New York to
s sold.

The following Btables have applied for quarters at the

emphis meeting: Wm. Amacker 4, R. Williams 5, Avon-

The famous stallion Homer, owned by the Messrs. Jewett,
sd on Feb. 12th at their stock farm in Buffalo, N. Y , of in-
•nal complaint. Homer was by Mambrino Patchen, dam
lly Chorister (dam of Belle Brassfield), by Mambrino
lorisler, granddam by Blood's Black Hawk (son of Vermont
ack Hawk), great-granddam by Moore's Pilot, son of PiKt
. Homer's death was annouuced at the National Associa-
>n banquet on the 12th, and a toast in bis honor was
ank in silence. Homer is the sire of Palo Alto's Lilly B.,
e dam of L TJ. Shippee's well known Electioneer stallion
mpaign and Lelah H., 2:24J.

The three mile race to be decided at Clifton will, no doubt
prove a grand success from a racing point of view. Owners
from out side courses have already engaged boxes at Clifton
for horses to take part in the contest, and from present indi-
cations a number of entries will be made. If owners wish to
eocourage Secretary Sass to continue to give big purses for
such races they should enter liberally for them. Purses of
SI. 000 are not given every day, especially at this season of
the year.

Antevolo, 2:1 9i, one of Electioneers best sons, arrived at
Dettoit on January 31st, where he was exhibited for a few
hours, and greatly admired by the leading horsemen of the
city. Late in the afternoon he was driven out to the Claire-
view Stock Farm, his future home. The Claiteview Stock
Farm also bought from Robert Steel tbe bay mare Muriel, by
Kentucky Prince, dam Bess by Hambletoniau 10; 2d dam
Jessie Sayre (dam of James Howell Jr., record 2-24) by
Henry Clay 45; 3d dam ty Liberty, son of Trance. In foal
to Antevolo.

The following mares from Palo Alto will be tred to imp.
Cheviot, brother to Sir Modred, this season: Imp. Mutiny by
Adventurer; imp. Queen Bess by Strathconan; Glendew, dam
of Guenn; Lady Evangeline, dam of Flood Tide; Shannon
Rose by Shannon, out of Fairy Rose, dam of Racine; and
Phoebe Anderson by Monday. It will be interesting to breeders
to note the results of the donl 1 3 cross cf i hs great Newminster,
who is close up in the pedigrees of Cheviot, Mutiny anu
Queen Bess. The mares were sent to Sacramento last week,
and several of them have already taken the horse.

A good starter is invaluable and no time should be lost in
securing a competent man for the Blood Horse Spring meet-
ing, and if possible several of the circuit fairs. Perhaps it
might be an inducement to a qualified man if an adequate
amount of remuneration were attatched to the office. The
Blood Horse starter gets $10 a day, which is certainly not
enough. Tbe State Fair Directors come nearer the mark,
they according to their last report paid Dr. Aby $5 a race.
San Jobs, The Blood Horse and the State Fair "should com-
bine and enaage a suitable man and pay him enough to make
it an object.

E. J. Baldwin has sent eight mares to Sacramento, to be
bred to imported Cheviot. They are Santa Anita, the dam
of Gano (by Virail out of Marv Martin by Lexington out of
Alice Jones by Glencoe); Santa Anita Belle, a sister to Gano
and a good race horse herself; Winona 5 by Grinstead, out
of that grand mare Clara D; Viente 4, a sister to Volante;
Aloha 4 (Grinstead— Expeiiment) is a sister to Silver Cloud,
winner of the AmeiicanDerby in 1886; Atalanta 3, Grinstead—
Blossom; Molly McGurn, Joe Hooker— Kitten by imported
Eclipse and Janova 4 by Grinstead out of Jennie D , dam of
Ligero.

Augur, the brilliant turf writer, in the Australasian
says that the pick of the yearlings of the veteran
breeder Mr. Andrew Towne, which were to be sold in Janu-
ary, was a colt by Sardonyx out of G6raldine. He is, therefore,
half-brother to Senator Hearst's impor.ed Gertrude, who
made her debut at Louisville and afterwards was successful
a $150, local race at San Luis Obispo, and figures in Good-
win with a winner's bracket for it. The Guide makes a
mistake in stating that she is by Som-B, dam unknown, and
also that she is a gelding by Ismony ont of Geraldine, she is
in reality a chestnut mare foaled 1886, by Somnus out of
Geraldine dam of Moorehouse, by Yattendou.

The poolroom proprietors in St. Louis assert that they
were beaten out of a total of $1S,000 by a gang of coaspira-
tors on the 8th of February. The "killing" was made on
tbe fifth race^at Guttenberg, and fully ten rooms were mulcted.
My Own was second choice in the betting at 5 to 2, and the
money was not put on until the horses had been at the post
for some time. The "bookies" charge that the conspirators
had the race in then. The money went up simnltaneously
in all the rooms and while the tickets were being written
the race came in. Over $1S,000 was paid out, and now they
propose to take no more bets after the horses are at the
post.

A meeting of the Directors of the Dixon Driving Park As-
sociation was held last week. The resignation of Peter Tlmm
was read and accepted and P. R. Willott was elected as his
successor. The park was leased to Messrs. Watson & Tiet-
jens, (the well known driver and trainer) of Sacramento, for
a term of one year. B, F. Newby was appointed Superin-
tendent of the park. It was decided to la?e oue day's racing
on the 1st day of May, and Wm. Ames, G. Wright and P. R.
Willott were appointed a committee to consider the number
and kind of races and the amount of the purses to be offered.
An assessment of $2 50 per share was levied on the capital
stuck. The Board adjourned subject to the call of the Presi-
dent.

That well known authority on breeding, the late Dr.
Shorthouse, was much given to inveighing against the
Blacklock blood — "that accursed Blacklock blood." What
would he think w-ere he to see a horBe, inbred to his accursed
strain, at the head of English sires, after proving himself a
great racehorse, winning the Derby in 1875. Galopin is by
Voltigeur's son Vedette, who was in his time the best horse
in Englaod. Voltlgeur, the sire of Vedette, was by Voltaire
(son of Blacklock), aod Vedette's dam, Mrs. Ridgway, was
by Birdcatcher from Nan Darrell, by Inheritor from Nell,
by Blacklock, Then Flying Duchess, the dam of Galopin,
was by Flying Dutchman from Merope, by Voltaire (Bon of
Blacklock). St. Simon was one of the best sons of Galopin,
and would most assuredly have been a Derby had not the
death of his nominator, Prince Batthyany prevented his
starting. As it was he won; he beat Tristan, Ossian, the
Leger winner, and all the crackB of his year, and last season
was third in the list of winning sires.

The owner of tbe Madison Stable decided to close up his
farm at Madison, N. Y., and has made arrangements to have
his mares bred and cared for at Erdenheim, the old home of
Parole and Iroquois. Among the mares are:

Atalanta, b m, 1870, by John Morgan — Clara L.

Carola, br m, 1S34. by Algerine — imp Belle of Eitham.

Delaware, br m, 18S3, by Lisbon — Austria.

Edisto, ch m, 1884. by Eoquirer — Babee.

Hilda, ch m, 1S73, by imp Eclipse— Jessie Dixon.

Hutoka, b m, 18S6, by Reform— Maggie B.B.

Lackawanna, ch in, 1884, bv Glenelg — Ems,

Leeda, b m, 18S4, by Cape Race — Beware.

The Melbourne Sportsman sajs Australians are gnashiog
their teeth, etc., because Darebin, Sir Modred and his brother
Cheviot, have gone to America. A winner by one or the
other crops up every now and again in the colonieB, the last
being Sir William, a three-year-old Sir Modred who, in one
day, won two races, a seven furlong handicap and a mile and
aquarter handicap, at the A. J. C. meeting held atRandwick,
and at the Sydney Tattersall's meeting at Randwick with
102 pounds up, was beaten two lengths for the Carrington
stakes, six furlongB, by The Gift, 4. 104 poundB; the olher 3S
slarlers were beaten off. Time, 1:16}. On the following
Monday, in the Tattersall's Sale Cop, 2 miles, with 15 start-
ers, Sir William turned into the straight in front, and won by
a length and a half in 3:36i, which shows that the Australi-
ans have good cause for regretting the Iobs of his sire Sir
Modred.

The executive committee of the Washington Jockey Club
held a meeting at Willard's on the 10th, and officially an-
nounced its decision to give a spring meeting at the Benn-
mg's track in May. A lull and enthusiastic attendance was
present. The details of a programme were discussed, but
that will not be made public until the next meeting.

A movement is also on foot to establish a spring trotting
circuit, to take in the Benning's track, Belmont and Point
Breeze Driving Park in Philadelphia, and Pimlico and the
gentlemen's Driving Park of Baltimore. Mr. Joseph A
Winderath, President of the Point Breeze Association, dur-
ing a recent visit to Washington, when this place was pro-
posed, s»id the Belmont people had set their dates for the
first week in May, and will give$5,000 in purses, to be equal-
ly divided among ten eventB, eight for trotting and two for
pacing, to include performers, from 3 00 to 2.20 horses, 'r he
people in Washington propose holding their meeting later in
the same month,

The thirteenth biennial congress of the National Trotting
Association was convened on February 12th by President P.
P. Johnson, of Lexington. A large number of horsemen were
present. The number of persons and horses remaining under
penalty December 31, 1S89, according to Secretary M. M.
Morse's report, is as follows: Persons suspended, 2,705;' per-
sons expelled, 209; horses suspended, 1.40S; horses expelled,
12S. Total, 4447. The report for two years shows: Persons
suspended, 3317; persons expelled. 176; horses suspended,
1,974; horses expelled, 111. Total, 5,530. Deducting the
number of men and horses under penalty of suspension and
expulsion December 21, 1S89 (4,447) shows a decrease in the
aggregate of 1,133.

Treasurer Lewis J. Powers, of Springfield, Mass., reported
as follows: Cash on hand January 1,'lSSS (as per previous
report), $10,740 56; receipts for 1888 $16,861 64. Total,
$27,602 20. Disbursements for 18S3, S13.341 77. Balance
for 1SSS, $14,260 43. Receipts for 1889, $16,888 13. Dis-
bursements for 1889, $14,315 2S. Balance on hand January
1, 1S90, $16,833 29.

The Duke of Portland has twelve two-year-olds in training
at Newmarket, including a colt by St. Simon, out of Wheel
of Fortune (Simon Magnus) a colt by Barcaldine out of Rat-
tlewings (Flutterwings), a colt by St. Gatien out of Modwena
(Molina), a filly by Bend Or out of Atalanta, dam of Ayr-
shire (Caithness), an own sister to Semolina (Koorah), and a
filly by St. Simon ont of Ulster Queen (St. Bridget). It will
be singnlar if the last four of those animals do not race, but
Simon Magnus and Flutterwings are doubtful quantities.
Wheel of Fortune is full of running blood, and Bhe was prob-
ably the best animal ever bred by the late Lord Falmouth, be-
ing when extended the personification of ea*y, frictionless ac-
tion, but she has been nearly as hopeless a failure at the stud
as Marie Stuart, and since the Duke of Portland gave 5 100 gs.
for her at the sale of Lord Falmouth's bleeding stud in July,
1886, she has produced nothing that could win a race. Rat-
tlewings is another Mereworth-bred mare, being an own sis-
ter to Galliard. She was bought by the Duke as a yearling
at Lord Falmouth's sale for 2100 gs , but never won a race,
and it may be hoped that she will prove more successful at
the stud.

Tb.8 New York Times after commenting on the Dwyer'a
entries in the Sobuban and Brooklyn, and Breaking wonder-
fully favorable of Sir Dixon says: As to the rest of the lot
in the two handicaps, one-thitd in each might as well be de-
clared out by the :10th as to remain in until the day of the
race so far as any chance of winning goes. Why thev were
ever entered no one but their owners can ever tell. Hid tbe
handicappers taken a maigin of 75 pounds to work on, in-
stead of limits of 38 and 42 pounds, as they did in the Brook-
lyn and Suburban rospectively, it would even then have left
about 50 per cent, of the entries without the remotest chance
of winning. Such cattle as Ofalece, Fresno, Rico, Gioster,
Maggie K., Elkton, Glendale, Loantaka, Juggler, Qoesal, St.
Luke, and a lot of other Winter track "skates," have about
as much chance of winning such races as they have of dying.
It would take a house and lot planted in the saddle ot real
racers to bring them down to anything like a level with these
cattle. Yet bookmakers and touts may succeed in creating
some such furor about one of them as was created over Jug-
gler, last Spring, when people actually backed tbe horse with
good United Slates moLey to beat a field of racers. Proba-
bly most of these will be stricken from the list of nomina-
tions by the day on which declarations are due. Of the lot
lett in about a dozen will probably go to the post for each
race.

Rolf Boldrewood" in an Australian paper tells how, in the
old days, when a filly named Hellcat, the property of Mr.
John Hunter, won on Flemington race course the Sir Charles'
purse, lurnished bv a generous stud patron for the owners of
descendants of that forgotten courser, it was objected by :,
well known horse-coper of the day known as "Hopping
Jack" that she was no true descendant of Sir Charles. How-
ever, the stewards concluded otherwise, and her owner re-
ceived the stakes. Itafterwards happened that the two Jacks
went to sea in the same ship on a voyage to their native
Scotia. A great storm arose and the ship was wiecked. As
they clung gloomily and despariugly to the uphtted deck, fust
on a reef. "Bopping Jack" approached Hunter with a grave
aud resolved air, and in that solemn hour, "the ruling pas-
sion strong in death." he thus adjured his turf acquaintance:

"Look here, Mr. Hunter, we shall be all in in twenty

minutes; it can't matter much no".*. Was Hellcat really a
Sir Charles?" Which recalls the story of Fauntleroy, the
fashionable banker, wbo, much to the annoyance of his gueBts,
kept strictly to himself the source from which he obtained a
certain much-admired liqueur. On the day before his execu-
tion for forgery, a number of men waited upon the doomed
banker in tbe condemned cell, 'Now, Fanntleroy," said one
of their number, "in fourteen hours you'll be at the bar of
God. It won't hurt you now if yon will well and trnly
answer me a question." "What is it?" asked the miserable
banker. "Where did you get that curacoa?"

L. TJ. Shippee's Horses.

[Continued from laet Week]

Id the last nnmber of the Breeder and Sportsman we
gave a list of the trottiDg stallions now owned by Mr. Ship-
pee, and also a partial list of the exceedingly fine colts and tal-
lies which are to be seenat his ranch. We now come to the brood
mares, all of which have been selected for their grand indiv-
iduality as well as for pedigree. It woold be a hard matter
to go anywhere and find as large a number of brood mares all
of which aie in such perfect order; the best of care is taken
of them at all seasons of the year, and it is only natural that
they should present a better appearance thau the average of
those seen on the ordinary stock farm. It would be im-
possible to enumerate all we looked at, but among them may
be mentioned Nellie F., by Daniel Lambert, 102; dam Jennie
by Columbus; Nellie F., is a bay mare with star and right
hind pastern white, foaled in 1887.

Daisy, record 2-3 W. is by Chieftain 721, dam Beauty by old
Doc, Daisv was foaled in 1869, is a bay mare and is noted as
being the dam of Mt. Vernon 2.21, and Chief Thome who as
a yearling paced a quarter in 38 seconds.

Nellie Sigh is by Hfwttaorne 10935, dam Nellie F-, by
Daniel Lambert, Nellie is a bay mare foaled in 1887.

Sally Ry is by Hawthorne, dam Ryan mare [the dam of
Ha Ha 2.22}], by Black Hawk 787. Sally Ry is a ;black mars,
foaled in 1883, fnll sister to Moses S-, Maggie S. and Breast-
plate.

Maggie S. is a bay mare foaled in 1SS6, has yearling record
of 2.581, ani is full sister to Sallie Ry.

Brown Priam iB a brown mare foaled in 1879, by Priam
179S, dam the Ryan mare, dam of Ha Ha.

Old Tempest is by Morgan Rattler, dam the Page mare by
Coburn's Jim Crow, he a son of Jim Crow [thoroughbred];
Oid Tempest is a brown mare foaled in 1867, and her roll of
honor does her justice, she has produced many foals, among
which may be mentioned Bright Light, record 2.40, J. C.
Shelly 2.29$, Beauty Sister of the dam of Tempest 2.19,
and many others which were all trotters if they had an op-
portnnity;her younger foals of lSS7-88and S9, will be worked
this season.

Brown Tempest, is, as her name would indicate, a brown
mare staudiog fully 16 bands high, with star and left hind
foot white, foaled io 1S78, and has already proved herself a
producer both of quality and Bpeed; uatnrally the best known
of her produce is Tempest 2.19, which was sold last year by
Mr. Shippee to go to South America where to-day she is ac-
knowledged to be one of the handsomest race animals in the
Argentine Republic. Brown Tempest is by Chieftain 721.
out of Old Tempest mentioned above, by Morgan Rattler,
She is in foal to Hawthorne.

Overshot and Beauty are both out of Old Tempest and are
built on very Bpeedy lines, they should prove very valuable
in the brood-mare ranks at Oaklawn.

Clouds is a brown mare with two small stars, foalad in
18S6, she is by Abby 10915, he a son of Abbotsford, Cloud's
dam is Brown Tempest, she by Chieftain.

Ida May, a brown, mare with Btar and left hind foot white,
is a 4-year-old, and when in her 3-year-old form made a pub-
lic trial in 2.34, she is by Hawthorne, dam Brown Tempest,
dam of Tempest 2.19.

Hilda is a chestnut mare, the only white on her being a
small Etar in forehead. She is four years old, by Hawthorne,
dam Hoec, she by Echo 462.

Hulda, a bay mare with Btar, both hind feet white, is a five
year old, and full sister to Hilda.

Emotional, a bay filly foaled in 1S87, is by Hawthorne, dam

We were particc.larly well pleased with Maud, a bay mare
with star and right hind ankle white, foaled in 1S77, by Dan
Lambert 102, dam Columbia by Columbus 95, the second
dam being by Harris's Hambletonian. Maud is a great road
mare, and can do better than 2:40 without any track work
whatever.

Undershot is a bay mare standing about 15 hands and 3
inches, and is three years old. She is by Hawthorne, dam
Overshot (full sister to dam of Tempest) by Chieftain 721.

Storm is another of the three year old mareB by Hawthorne,
dam Beauty (sister of Tempest's dam) by Chieftain 721.

We now come to a very beautiful black mare sis years old,
named Haughty, who can pace at a very speedy gait. She is
by Hawthorne, dam Maggie McClellan by General McClellan
144.

Flower, a bay mare almost 16 hands in height, is eight
years old, by Hawthorne, dam Daisy, the dam of Mt. Vernon,
and should be a great producer.

A handsome chestnut mare 15 hands three inches, foaled in
1886, is called the Jade, by Hawthorne, dam Wanton by

thorne, dam Maria H, whose pedigree precedes this.

Fifty is a brown mare with black points, 5 years old, by

high, foaled in 1831, has a two year old record of 2:3Sj ; she
is by Priam 1798, dam Western Girl (dam of Honesty 2:25£)
by Chieftain.

To the cover of Hawthorne, Mockingbird has produced sev-
eral lillies, in 1885 filer tie, in 1886 Mavis, both of these be-
ing chestnut in color; in 1888 she produced a black filly
which has been named Maybird.

Mary Clay by Henry Clay.

May second is a bay mare with Btar and left hind ankle
white, is 8 vears old, by Hawthorne, dam May First by Ham-
bletonian 725.

There were scores of others to be seen, but time would not
admit of noticing more of the trotters, as time was limited. A
few of the thoroughbred mares and stallions were glanced at,
but only in a hurried manner. They all look well and are a
credit to the wealthy owner, who has spared no expense in
securing the best that could be had.

John A. will be so well remembered, that it is hardly nec-
essary to speak of him. He is a beautiful black, nire years
old, by Monday, dam Lady Clare by Norfolk; 2d dam Ver-
salia by imp. Sovereign; 3d dam Cottage Girl by imp. Ain-
derby; 4th dam Princess Anna, by imp. Leviathan; 5th dam

five times, winning once only, but as a three-year-old he was
unbeaten, winning, among otner races, the Pacitic Cup, 2.}
miles on a veiy mnddy track in the creditable time of 4:134/.
As a four-year-old he faced the starter twelves times, and
was victorious in eight races. He did not slart after that,
but has had two race-horses to perpetuate his name, he
being the sire of Hubert Earl and Emma Nevada, both of
whom have proved winners.

Bassett) by Lexington; 3rd dam Canary Bird by imp Albion;
4th dam Panola (dam of Penelope) by imp Ainderby; 5th dam

If it were not for her name bow I would admire Libberti-

dam by imp Nina Sahib; 2nd dam by Jack Hawkins.

Scat is a bay mare, foaled 1886, by Joe Hooker, dam Kitten
(dam of Sabriua and Ezza) by imp Eclipse; 2nd dam imp
Pussy by Diopb -ntus; 3rd dam Agapemone by Bay Middle-
ton; 4th dam Venus by Sir Hercules; 5th dam Echo by
Eoiilios, etc.

Stella S., bay filly, foaled 1S87, is still another daughter
of Tillie 0., the sire being Joe Hooker.

The Teal, b m, foaled 1884, by Hindoo, dam Mundane (dam
of Blue Wing) by Lexington, 2nd dam Sally Brown by imp
Hooton; 3rd dam Quiz by Bertrand; 4th dam by Brimmer; 5th
dam. dam of Woodpecker by Buzzard, ete

The last of the thoroughbred mares to be inspected was
Whisban, the chestnut filly foaled in 18S7, and well known
to all our race goers. She is by imp Kiug Ban, dam W bis-
perine by Whisper; 2nd dam Matella by imp Australian; 3rd
dam La Grande Duche6se by Lexington; 4th dam Ann Innis
by American Eclipse; 5th dam MisB Obstinate by Snmpter.

Being just in time to catch the train, we hurried back to
town and started at once for Sacramento to view Mr. Ship-
pee's thoroughbreds which are in training for the coming
season's work. We were met by Ab Stemler, the well known
trainer, who has the horses in charge and it was with pardon-
able pride that he led each of th*- beauties out for inspection.
The first to claim attention was Major Ban, a chestnut colt,
foaled 1887 by imp King Ban, dam Hearsay by imp Aus-
tralian; 2nd dam Dixie by imp Sovereign; 3rd dam St. Mary
by Hamlet; 4th dam imp Vamp by Langar; 5th dam Wire by
Wtixy, etc.

Take Notice is a royally bred fellow, foaled 1887,
by imp Prince Charlie, dam Nota Bene by imp Glenelg; 2nd
dam Notice by Lexington; 3rd dam Novice by imp Glencoe;
4th dam Chloe by Rodolph; 5th dam Belle Anderson by Sir
William of Transport, etc. This colt has a little white on
near fore coronet, and off hind pastern white, and also a star
in forehead. As will be seen his second dam is a full sister
to Norfolk and with the Glenelg cross above that. Take
Notice should prove a race hnrse of the first water, especially
as his sire was such a progenitor of speed.

1 was more than pleased with the bay colt Lodowic, which
will, bar accident, make his first appearance this year. He is
by Longfellow, dam Carrie Phillips by Pat Malloy (an old
favorite of mine); 2d damFlorita by Enqoirer; 3d dam Florae
(dam of Minus, May D., Wartield, Ella Warrield, Flit. Sour
Mash and Florjuiore) by imp. Mickey Free; 4th dam Dixie
(dam of Herzog, Aureola, War Jig, War Reel, Heretog, Hear-
say, etc.) by imp. Sovereign, 5th dim St Mary by Hamlet,
etc. This colt has been entered io a large number of stakes,
and I will be more than surprised if he does not give a good
account of himself.

Fellowcharm, be, foaled 1SS7, is by Longfellow, dam Trin-
ket by Great Tom; 2d dam Bobioet (dam of Biggnoet, Bigoe-
yet, etc.) by Brown Dick; 3d dam Alentia by Childe Harold;
4th dam Talma by imp. Glencoe; 5th dam Delta by imp.
Priam, etc. Fellowcharm is a strapping good colt, who run
last fall second to Flambeau in the California Annual Stakes,
but he has improved so much that he should be able to hold
bis own this year with any of them.

Picnic, foaled 18S6, the brown mare which has raced quite
a number of times in the colors of Mr. Shippee, is so well
known that it is almost needless to epeak of her, but aa a
matter of record, give her pedigree. She is by imp. Mr.
Pickwick, dam imp. Counters by Theobald; 2d dam Romula
by King Caradoc; 3d dam Miss Bower by Record; 4th dam
by Righton or Romulus; 5ih dam Selina by Fitz leazle, etc.

Songstress, b in, is another well known performer, foaled
1886 by Luke Blackburn, dam imp. Malibran by Cathedral;
2d dam Melodious by Forrester or Peppermint; 3d dam Harp
by Kremlin; 4th dam Harmony by Reveller; 5th dam by Or-
ville, etc.

False Qneen, b t foaled 1SS8 by Falsetto, dam Queen Vic-
toria (dam of Jennie T. Albert, Queenstown, and Infanta)
by Lexington; 2nd dam Magenta (dam of Duke of Magenta}
by imp Yorkshire; 3rd dam Miriam (dam of Mamona, Magen-
ta, Merrill, Marion, Hollywood, Necy Hale, Grecian Bend,
etc.) by imp Glencoe; 4th dam Miuerva Anderson, by imp
Luzborongh; 5th dam by Sir Charles etc. Is there any
feature in the above pedigree that the most captions critic
would have rubbed out? If there is any such thing as being
bred in the purple, False Queen is certainly entitled to that
distinction.

May H-, b f, foaled 18S8 by Falsetto, dam Glenluine (dsm
of Troubadour) by imp. Glenelg; 2d dam Lute (dam of Vir-
ginus) by Lexington: 3d dam Lulu Horton (dam of Spartan,
Pequot and Kildare) by imp. Albion; 4th dam Martha Dunn
by imp. Sovereign; 5lh dam (dam of Laura, Lilly Ward and
Fanny Cheatham) by Stockholder, etc.

Mahle F. is a bay filly foaled 1SS7 by Longfellow, dam
Carrie Phillips by Pat Malloy; 2d dam Florita by Enquirer;
3d dam Florae by imp. Mickey Free; 4th dam Dixie by imp.
Sovereign; 5th dam St. Mary by Hamlet, etc.

In among the younger division, there is The Drake by
Leonatus, dam The Teal by Hindoo: 2d dam Mundane by
Lexington; 3d dam Sally Boweu by imp. Hooten; 4th dam
Quiz by Bertraud, etc. He is a racy-looking fellow, and
should give a good account of himself.

White Oak is another of the foals of 18S8 by Joe Hooker,
dam Lillie 0., whose pedigree has already been given.

There is also a two-year-old by Joe Hooker, dam Nina
Woodborn, of whom mention has already been made,

Mr. Shippee is entitled to great credit for bis enormons
outlay, and it is to be sincerely hoped that he may win many
of the valuable stakes, in which his trotters and thorough-
breds are entered for, during the racing season of 1890.

Judson H. Clark Bays Alcazar.

The Kentucky Stock Farm says that Mr. Judson H. Clark,
of Elmira, New York, one of the owners of the unfortunate
Bell Boy, the horse that was destroyed in the fire at Macey's
Btable a few weeks ago, has purchased of Mr. L. J. Rose, hlfl
great young stallion AIchZit, 2:'20.T, by Sultan, dam Minne-
haha (dam of Beautiful Bells, 2:29*, Eva, 2:23J. Sweetheart,
2:22J. Alcazar, 2:20^, eto), by Stevens* Bald Chief. Mr.
(■lark has written the Macey Brothers to ask if they can take
charge of bia purchase. It is probable that he will lake the
place of Bell Boy. Alcazar has the reputation of bein& one of
the best j on ug horses in America. He is the sire of the
two-year-old filly, Mista, 2:20, and the yearling R( verie, 2:35.

We can hardly believe that the report is true, for while we
have had no notice of the Bale from Mr. Rose, it seems hardly
probable thathe would dispose of the star of his collodion
which are to be sold soon in New York. Inquiry among
the more prominent horsemen fails to elicit any information
in regard to the sale, and therefore we are inclined to doubt
the Kentucky story.

THE FABM.

Fertile Eges for Hatching.

Afler selecting your stock, weeding oat all those that are
too old, too small, or afflicted with any disease or deformity,
then the food for the remainder should be carefully regula-
ted in quantity and quality, in order that the eggs for hatch-
ing may be both abundant and fertile. A very fat hen will
no! lay many eggs, and a large percentage of those she does
lay will prove infertile: consequently the proportion of those
foods rich in carbon, which go to produce heat and fat,
should be diminished, and those containing a preponderance
of nitrogen and albumen should be increased.

Meat, contrary to the nsnally accepted opinion, contains
none of the fattening elements. LeaD meat is largely com-
poser! of albumen, which enters to a considerable extent into
the white of an egg; therefore it is an excellent food at this
time, and milk, for the same reason, is also valuable, while
linseed meal and cottonseed meal are both fattening because
they contain much carbon as well as nitrogen. Indian corn
and potatoes also belong lo this class, and therefore, as spring
approaches, they should be fed in smaller quantities, while
the ration of wheat and oats which furnish a larger propor-
of albuminoids, Bhould be increased.

I have been surprised lately at the avidity with which my
flock continues to relish wheat bran; they never seem to
grow tired of it. If there is any special food of which they
Ire not particularly fond, but of which I should like to have
them eat I have only to mix wheat bran with it in order to
have it 'eagerly devoured. They prefer a warm mess of
mashed potatoes, hot milk and wheat bran to the same mixed
with corn meal, and as the flock never appeared in belter
oon tir did better work, I suppose it must be good

for them. Wheat bran contains more of the requisites for
renewicg animal tissues, bones and feathers, as well as the
constituents for egg-making, than doea corn meal. Shorts is
also good nsed in this direction, and better still is the whole
grain of wheat coarsely ground into what we call graham or
bro»n flour. The use of corn, however, should not be dis:
continued altogether, at letst not until warm weather, but 1
prefer the whole grains of corn given dry as an evening food.

Special care mnst also be taken at this time to providing a
healthy regimen for the fowls. One of my neighbors had a
pen of handsome Black Langshans which she yarded last
spring in order to keep their eggs pure for hatching purposes
but as she failed to fnrniBh them the necessary variety of
food, their eggs, much to her sorrow, proved entirely mfer-

' As tbe weather becomes milder, hens should be fed more
sparingly in order to compel them to take more eseicise; as
a rule the active breeds and the most energetic foragers be-
longing to those breeds, not only produce the greatest num-
ber of eggs, but their eggs wiH hatch better. This is no
doubt owing to the greater healthfnlness produced by their
active habits, and because the hen by taking a wider range
is tbns enabled to secure a greater variety of food.

While the color of egg shell is not affected by the food con-
sumed by the hen, yet contents are. Confine a hen to a dry
lit and if she lavs eggs at all the yelk will be pale and thin
with an insipid flavor, while the white will be almost too poor
to frotb, bnt give her plenty of Bnitable grain with a liberal
supply of green food, and in a very short time the contents of
her eggs will assume a different color, flavor and consistency.
Jnst now my chickens are rejoicing ovei some winter tur-
nips that I pulled up, tops and all, and scatteied about over
the poultry yard; they seem to prefer the greens fed in this
way to having them cut off, as they like to think they are
getting something green and growing. I should be glad I to
let my flock have the range of the vegetable garden at this
season of tbe year, but the housekeeper thinks it would be a
bad precedent; so I never exactly turn them in, bnt when i
see an enterprising little Leghorn scale the bve-foot palings I
never drive her ont. They are such indefatigable little

giving characteristics. — Cultivator.

Cattle Prospects in Texas, Arizona and New
Mexico.

George B. LoviDg, in the Texas Live-Stock Journal, sayB:
"There is little doing in cattle business through the section
of country tributary to El Paso. Oar ranchmen expect in tbe
near future to make quite a number of sales to Northern
buyers. No contracts have as yet, so far as I know, been
closed. There seems, as usual at this time of year, to be a
difference of about §2 per head as to valueB in the ideas o*
ranchmen here and the Northern buyers. Twc-year-old
steers brought last spring through Southern Arizona and
New Mexico from ?9 to §12 per head, while three-year-olds
brought from S13 to §16 per head, the price varying ac-
cording to quality. Our ranchmen express themselves as be-
ing satisfied to sell at the same figure again this spring,
while the buyers contend that in view of the low market for
the past twelve months they shonld have their supply for the
coming season at fully §2 per head less than the prices paid
last year. The cattle through this section of the country are
in fine flesh — fn fact are in better condition than they have
been for several years; our yonng steers can be turned off in
May in splendid flesh and fine trim for making the long
shipment to Northern ranches. A few good lots of two year
old steers in Southern Arizona are now being offered at S9
per head. A majority of them, however, in that locality are
being held at about $11, while in Southern New Mexico the
best herds are being held at from $11 to $12 per head for two
year olds. Yearling steers through the territory referred to
held at from $7 50 to §9 per head, the price varying not so
much on account of the quality of the cattle as the financial
necessity of the owners. A majority of the ranchmen in
Western Texas between El Paso and the Pecos River are pre-
paring to make an early drive to tbe Indian Territory. As
near as I can estimate, this drive from the section referred to
will aniouot to fully 40,000 head. * * * Considering the
fact that the present year will wind up the depression in the
cattle business, and that a better and more prosperous era
will dawn on the cattle industry with the beginning of 1891,
this is certainly the proper time for investment by those who
have money and desire to reap a rich harvest during the next
f6w years."

Cotswolds.

Pedigreed sheep are not to^be bred with a view to slaughter-
ing as Buch breeding stock cost too much money for that pur-
pose; but their value lies in the improvement on the common
or non-registered sheep of the farmer. To get this it is nec-
essary to procure the breed that will shear the most wool and
the most mutton; and to do this successfully it is in my opin-
ion best for the breeder of common sheep to procure the Cots-
wold; as it is an established faot that no other sheep shear
such heavy fleeces of tine lustrous wool as do the Cotswolds;
besides no other sheep attain Buch heavy weights at six or
twelve months old, the lamb frequentlj- weighing 100 pounds
at 90 days of age. I bad one lamb dropped last April that
tipped the beam at 107 at 90 days old. The rams frequently
attain the enormous weight of from 250 to 350 pounds at
12 months old.

I jThe Cotswolds have won more sweepBtakes prizes, both in
England and America, than all other breeds combined. As
breeders they are superior lo any other sheep, stamping their
tine qualities on everything they come in contact with. The
ewes are more prolific than any other sheep, frequently drop-
ping 2 or 3 laoibs, and giving milk enought to raise them suc-
cessfully. We will however, in this respect except the homed
Dorset. For the production of more wool and mutton the
breeders can do no better than to use a Cotswold ram on his
common or grade ewes. The Cotswolds is of all others the
woul mutton sheep of the world, from the oft-repeated testi-
mony of early days and all the way down through the last
60 years. The sheep with the most wool and the most mut-
ton, or in other words the model sheep, is in my opinion a
Cotsworld, snd besides all this he is superior in hardiness
and vigor of constitution to any other sheep on earth.

Sheep in Bad Shape.

Highland Cattle.

la'twe may not be troubled with soft-shelled eggs
lime iB too caustic; fill an old crock or an iron vesi
lime and pour on a sufficient quantity of water to slake it.
Place this in a corner of the yard, and every now and then
yon will see a hen go near and take a peck at it. Lime water
added to their soft food, in the proportion of one gill to a
gallon will not only be found an efficient corrective of dis-
ordered digestion, but will give them the lime m solution
when it may be readily assimilated.— A Farmer s Daughter
in Country Gentleman.

Hornless Cattle.

At the annual Convention of the Breeders of Ohio a plea
for hornless cattle was made by Dr. W. W. Crane, who said
that a hundred thousand men in this country would dishorn
their cattle at once if it could be done without pain. In all
the world there is not a man, the owner of polled herds, who
would if he couia by a wish crown his mooleys with horns.
It is often said, if nature wants her cattle smooth, polled,
why did she not so create them? It needs no argument to
show the necessity of those great weapons on '•boiiBiDal
herds The enemies no longer exist, and now tbe ox shonld
eo unarmed. I have with me to-day an argument against
horn-breeding catlle which is greater than all the considera-
tion of economy, convenience and profit. It consists of a
catalogue of some of the cruel deeds of horns. It is the argu-
ment of humanity. It is a list of fifty persons who have
been fearfnlly mangled and many of them mortally wounded.
Beside, there are ten thousand unproved cases. At the
slaughter yards are thousands of damaged hides; on butch-
er's clocks are inflamed and impure roosts; among many
herds there are quivering, bleeding, lacerated flanks, an ag-
gregate of damage amounting to hundreds of thousands of
dollars, all traceable to horns. The edict of banishment for
horns is issued and the horns are going. There being no
supply of hornless cattle at hand for the wide demand, dis-
horning has come into vogue. The fact is, there are compar-
atively few feeders among onr Western stocsmen who are
not fally convinced that the practice is economical and every

way advantageous where cattle are being handled for butcher

PUUPo°rn?e88 cattle, as the Angus, Galloways and Bed Polls

Bupoly the dishorning saw is largelv used, and within two

Twenty years ago, Mr. Allen in his work on "American
Cattle," remarked: "The vast plains west and north of the
Missouri as well aB the wide mountain ranges which traverse
them, must mainly be occupied in breeding and grazing cat-
tle, if anything. These lands will be admirably adapted to a
class like the West Highland. « » * This is looking
somewhat into tbe future, we admit.' He adds, in conclu-
sion: "We hope yet to see the Highland cattle introduced
into the country. Their introduction conld be no bar to the
other valuable breeds we have now among us, as these latter
must always occupy our good soils, on which, if the Highland
catlle were placed, they would soon lose their distinctive
qualities."

What seemed a lcng look into the future has now become
reality. The vast plains and mountains ranges of the west
and northwest are no longer given up to tbe herds of wild
buffaloes and equally untamed red men, but are divided into
farms, or grazed by millions of domestic cattle. Bat with the
advance of civilization and the settling up of the regions be-
yond the Mississippi, has come a great disillusionizing. A
large proportion of the land which it was rather doubtfully
supposed must be "occupied in breeding and grazing cattle,
if anything," has sprinkled over with the homes of the thrifty
settlers, standing amid waving fields of grain, It is, there-
fore, "the wide mountain ranges," only, which are eminent-
ly suitable as breeding places for these hardy cattle. Bred
on the heights which have hitherto bean trodden only by the
wild goat and bighorns, the Highland cattle may be brought
down to the plains for fattening, and shipped thence to the
beef markets. As a recent British writer remarks: "To
propagate Highlanders, and maintaintain the characteristics
of the°breed, they mnst be allowed to live wildly and much
alone on natural pastures, mountainous and cold, if possible,
with no shelter, summer or winter, beyond a 6hed, that they
may go into or leave at pleasure. They are so picturesque
in appearance that noblemen and gentlemen like to see them
in the parks surrounding their mansions. But that is not
their natural habitation. They must not be brought down
from the hills if they are to maintain the attributes of true
Highlanders. Most excellent beef for the table they make,
beef that, when it reaches the London market, fetches the
very highest prices of the day.

The virtual extinction of the American bison has created a
pressing demand for robes, in place of those formerly sup-
plied by their skins. For this purpose no domestic cattle
are equal to the Highlanders. The thick coat of hair which
nature has furnished them as a protection again Highland
blasts, gives their hides, if slaughtered at the proper season,
a value scarcely, if at all, inferior to that of the bison. With
a carcass of the finest qualitv of beef, and a hide fit for a tine
carriage rohe, a well-faltaned Highland steer should possess
an extra value in the market.— American Agriculturist.

American Devon Cattle Club.

Ed Yoxall and Sam Kurtz, the Denver mutton buyers who
have been out south of the Galisteo buying sheep for ten
days, came in yesterday, says the New Mexican. To-day
they are at Lamy loading 1,500 head of mutton for the Den-
ver" market. They expected to purchase some 8,000 or
20,000 head on this trip, but secured less than half the de-
sired number. A pitiful story of lack of water on the sheep
range is told by them. The range is fair, but there is no
water, no rains or snow worth noting having fallen for eight
months in that region south of the Galisleo as far down as
the Gallinas mountains. Western Bernalillo, southeastern
Santa Fe and southwestern San Miguel counties, also part of
Valencia county, cover the region affected. Over 20,000
head of Bheep are on these ranges, but most of them are with-
out water. Mr. Yoxall saw droves of sheep that had had no
water tor twenty-seven days and they were little better than
mere aide and bones The queer thing about it is that
water may be had by sinking wells twenty feet, but none of
the flock owners seem inclined to put down wells. One man
at Pino's Wells has a windmill and tank aod an abundance
of water, and he is growing rich watering his poor Mexican
neighbor's flocks. He gets three sheep in payment for every
1,000 head watered at bis well and he has accumulated a
drove of several thousand by this means. Wells and wind-
mills are what the flock owners need. Perhaps this experi-
ence will prove a blessing in disguise and force them to sell
some of their sheep and put the proceeds into water develop-
ment.

Great Turkeys.

A flock of turkeys reared by Mrs. B. Cady. of Dutchess
county, New York, averaging twenty-six pounds dressed
meat per pair when sold this fall. Some brood turkeys are
used until three yeaTS old, bnt the majority of the birds sold
are young ones. As the eggs are laid they are placed in oats
with their small ends down, and covered with cloth, being
Bept in a warm, dry place. When the turkey is ready to sit,
a barrel is placed on its side in some Bhady nook and the nest
made of dry hay, or shavings, with a generous addition of
onion skins as a preventative against lice.

After the poults are hatched, tbey are allowed to remain in
the nest as long as they will stay there. When removed, the
hard substance on the end of each of their beaks is removed,
and the top of the head annointed with a little oil to de-
stroy the vermin. They are first fed costard, made from four
eggs and three quarts of milk. The loose soil is swept away,
and they are fed upon the ground, never from a board. If
the wings droop their ends are clipped. This is believe to
allow bone aod muscle to develop faster. While growing they
are given plenty of burned bone, pulverized, and a little red
pepper mixed in the food. As they increase in age they are
fed with pot cheese, Irish oatmeal soaked over night, dry
bread soaked in milk, and wheat middlings scalded, and still
later on, treated to cracked corn.— [F. D. Ladd in Home and
Farm.]

Brown Leghorns in the South.

I have been breeding brown Leghorns for over six years,
and though I also breed several other varieties, had 1 to give
up all but one mv choice would be tbe brown Leghorn. I
consider them particularly adapted to the South. First,
health is to be considered . The Leghorn seemB to stand onr
long heated term better than moat other breeds, and during
our damp and raioy season the larger breeds are more sub-
ject to the roup and other diseases caused by dampness. I
have never had a Leghorn with the roup, nor have I ever
seen one with it. Second, the color of the plumage suffers
very much from our hot suns. White fades ont, aDd black
becomes rusty to a certain exteot, while the browD Leghorn
retains its color all tbe way through. Third, of course it is
known the wbole world over that they are not excelled as
layers. It is also said that in cold climates the Asiatics ore
the best winter layers, but in our coldest weather even tbe
Leghorn will shell out the eggs just the same as her larger
consios. — Ex.

We are indebted to J. Buckingham, Secretary of the Amer-
ican Devon Cattle Club, Zanesville, Ohio, for his coarteousy
in sending us a copy of the traosfers of pore bred Devons
for the quarter ending December 31st. The Devon is an ani-
mal suitable for California, being a good rustler, very active
short legged and a rapid feeder. We have several good
Devon breeders in the State and the breed only needs to be
better known to be more appreciated. AmonR the transfers
in the Secretary's list are Petaluma Boy 4896, sold by J.\\.

sold by the estate of S. Cook to N. Saito, Nishibara, Japan,
and W sales in Utah by Sarah G. Elridge.

The o'd fashioned average, fifteen or twenty years ago, of
the number of pounds of milk required to make a pound of
butter was 25. This was the assumed average, and the rec-
ords of tbe first butter factories that practiced deep, cold set-
ting showed it to be nearly correct. That average baa been
considerably reduced within tbe last ten or fifteen years.
Of 57 herds— whose average of milk for a pound of batter, as
given by their owners who bad butter on exhibition at the
late meeting of the Vermont Dairy Association— the general
average was 19 2 pounds of milk for a pound of butter. The
lowest average for the herd was 14.1-2 pounds, and the hi
est 25.

THE GUN.

Golcher Tropby.

The cat shows to advantage the exceedingly rich aDd taste-
fol trophy presented for competion atnong the United States
Cartridge Company's teams of shooters. The design origi-
nated with Messrs. W. J. and H. C. Golcher and is nmque.
A heavy tankard of beaten silver, having for a lid a blue
rock target -worked out in oxidized silver and gold, sur-
mounted by a miniature blue rock target forms the design,
and is most appropriate. On one side a perfect pair of ham-
merless guns and on the other a shield properly engraved,
relieve the weighty app arance of the tankard and lend grace
and elegance to what will certainly be one of the most valued
of the many souvenirs of Colonel Dimmick's great tour.

San Diego Chat.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The heavy rains up
North seem to have delayed the Northern flight of ducks and
geese, so that we have had very little water fowl shooting so
far this season; but I notica the past week that our markets
are fairly well stocked with both ducks and gee*e, and the
local sportsmen repoit very good success near our Bay re-
gion. A number of the boys are planning hunting excur-
sions inland, and we may hear of some good bags of game in
the near future. Thousands of geese are seen every day
winging their way northward, and as a great maDy stop a day
or co with us to feed, we expect some good sport yet this
spring.

Jieury Seibold, of this city, keeps our markets fairly Bup-
rjlied with black brant {Berntcla Nigricans), and now I would
like to inquire of your numerDUB readers wnetber this bird is
found anywhere on the Pacific Co3st north of San Diego Bay.
It is one of the shyest waterfowls in the world, and to suc-
cessfully hunt this bird one must be well supplied with sneak
boat, battery, decoys, and above all, a full choked, hard
Bhooting gun. They are on San Diego Bay now by the thou-
sand?, but excepting those killed by Seibold, it is safe to say
that there are not more than a dozen killed weekly. One
curious feature about black brant is that they are never
found inland and never on fresh water. They are esteemed
very highly here for delicacy of flavor, and find a ready sale.

Judge J. J. Henderson of this city, returned from a short
visit to Eagene City, Oregon, last week bringing with him a
pair of those beautiful birds the moogolian pheasant, which
he has presented to E. S. BabeockEsq of Coronado Beach,
who proposes to introduce them on North Island, (part of
Coronado Beach,) and preserve them for a year or so. The
birds were introduced into Oregon less than eight years ago,
and now number maoy thousands, so we may look for this
country to be well supplied in the next ten years, if they are
protected. Judge Henderson claims they are very gamey,
and afford excellent sport in the fields, and as the Judge was
a resident of China for some eight years and hunted them
continually while there, he ought to know. There has been
a great deal of controversy about this bird on this eoaBt, re-
garding their introduction here, and from all reports from
there, our Oregon friends seem to feel that this pheasant is
abnnf «* undesirable a guest as the Chinaman is to our aver-
age Californian.

I was exceedingly sorry to hear of friend Louds' bad luck,
iu losing "CountessLinette," sister to "Lady Elaine" who
died a week or so ago. Captain Loud is an ardent dog lover,
as every thoroughbred sportsman is, and he always has a
kennel of the best, and it is a source of regret that he should
be so unfortunate in losing as fine a pair of dogs in one seas-
on as "Lady Elaine" and Countess Linette-"

It will certainly be a long time before he can till their
places.

The poison fiend has been at work here, and a number of
fine dogs have been poisoned iu conseqnence, bat it is a
alight souree of gratification that Mr. C. Hinman, whose fin2
pointer dog "Sport" was poisoned last week, apprehended
the miscreant who did it, and made him pay him the snm of
$50 for the pleasure of throwing the dog a bit of "doctored"
meat. It is bad enough for a man to lose a highly-prized dog
by natural causes, bnt when he finds his valuable and loved
pointer, or setter, who has been his companion on so many
an outing, dying in all the agony ibat only poison can inflict,
ft gets right to the bottom of his heart. I am glad that the
legislature of our State passed a law making dogs personal
property, a year or so ago, as it will prove some eligbt pro-
tection to sportsmen who keep them.

I understand M. Chick of this place haB been invited to
make one of a team of ten to meet tbe Eastern team in a tro-
phy shoot. No worthier man than Mr. Chick can be selected
in California for the honor of representing the shooters of
this state and be ought to feel proud of the honor conferred
ou him.

Let us hope that "our boys" will meet onr Eastern friends
at the trap, and that the Selby trophy will remain right where
it will be manufactured, in California. Ad. B. P.

From Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara, Feb. 16th.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman. Itis a proverbially
winter day at this writing, the rain coming down in good
old-fashioned style, with the wind in the direct rainy quar-
ter, I find it pretty hard to kill time, being too wet to go
anywhere, outside, and almost every one either quietly rest-
ing in his room, or loafing around tbe reading room.

I am wondering why I have not had a line from any one
since I left, especially from you, on matters connected with
the proposed pigeon contest, between the Eastern and Cali-
fornia team, nor have I been able to get hold of a San Fran-
cisco paper, thus far, which contains any reference to it. I
wrote to Mr, Allen a few days since, on the subject, aDd
fully expect an answer by to-morrow cr Tuesday nest. I am
afraid that at this writing Mr. Editor, I cannot see my way
clearly enough ahead to be able to state with certainly, what
day I can get away from this place, and in this uncertainty,
you had better, if you can do so; select some one in my place,
on the team? It was my intention to leave Santa Barbara
on the 20th instant, so as to give me one good night's rest at
my home before the 22od, as I am but a miserable sleeper on
the ears; but I am compelled to remain one day longer,
and start from here on the 21st, which would find me utterly
unfit to take part in good form, in so important a match as
lhat between the United 8tates team and ourselves. This is
a matter of great regret to me, but as I am entirely at the dis-
position of Mrs. Orr, and my children on this trip, I cannot
now see how I can evoid aieappointing you, if, indeed it
Khali prove auy disappointment to you or any other in-
terested party in the coming contest, therefore, under all cir-
cumstances, you had better elect some one in my stead, but
if I should be able to be on hand, on time, I shall be pleased
to bear my part. If called upon.

Up to yesterdav the weather has been Bimply charrniDg;
no one could desire more, with the bright eunny days and
cool tempered nights, and a delicious, balmy air pervadiDg
everything, a welcome exchange to us of the northern por-
tion of the State, after the trying ordeal of tbe past, or rather
passing winter.

I wish that my family and self could remain here for an-
other month, we are so pleased with the climate and sur-
roundings, and the accommodations at this hotel are as good
as any I have experienced anywhere, and I do not except our
best San Francisco boBtelriee. Then one meets socb a lot of
Dice people, the majority being cultured, well bred Eastern
residents, with a few Europeans, and I find considerable
sporting taste developed among ibe young men visitors. A
jockey club has been formed. Beveral racfs having taken
place, and another is in prospective for the 22nd iDst., Wash-
ington's Birthday. Also a good deal of aportine element is
met with, end there are several very prominent New Yorkers
here, whose names are well known in sporting circles at the

East and whom I have had the pleasure of being introduced
to — names you would easily recognize did I mention them,
but delicacy forbids me, in a letter. There is some talk of
gettiog up a big pigeon contest in the near future, and I
fancy that I shall carry up to San Francisco big orders to
Purveyor Murphy for pigeons and cartridges from the gun
stores, etc., etc.

As to field shooting in the vicinity it is but poor, and a
very rough, hilly country, with a scarcity of birds and all
with the unfortunate tendency to take to the trees when
flushed. The Bport is therefore precarious and disappoint-
ing.

Drop me a line or two and give me some of the on dits of
the times, but do not write later than the 19th. The Eastern
team must be now in this vioinity to-day en route for the
North. J. K. Oee.

Tbe visiting teams of shooters have been making good
scores as will be seen by inspection of the appended table:
The party consists of H. McMurchy, captain; W. H. Wol-
stencroft, W. E. Perry, H. B. Whitney and W. S. Perry com-
posing the Eastern team; C. W. Budd, captain; J. K. Stice,
E. O Heikes, C. E, Cahnon and B. A. Kuble composing the
Wes'ern learn; CjI. C. W. Dimiek, manager; W. Fred Qnin-
by, substitute with the Eastern team; S. A. Tucker, substi-
tute with the Western team, and E. Hough, representing
Forest and Stream. All of the matches were at thirty singles
and five pairs of Blue Bock targets, American Association
Rules.

All along the route they have been presented with hand-
some trophies, among which were $25 cash by Mr. Dimiek
at Dayton, won by th« Westerns; at Cincinnati five handsome
silver cups by the Laflin and Band Powder Company and
Bandle Arms Company, won by the Easterns; at St Louis
rive elegant shaving cups by the Meacham Arms Company,
won by the Western boys; at Memphis five silver match box-
es by Mr. Dimiek, won by the representative of tbe frigid
East. At Houston, Mr. Dimiek seeing that the Western
boys felt so bad over the loss of the matchboxes at Memphis,
put up five more of a similar kind, and the cowboys as they
are called in their special Pullman car, the Iolanthe, braced
up and gathered them in, bo that match boxes at least axe
easy. In Texas the party was presented with a genuine
Texas wildcat, the tamest thing in tbe car, that is if
one Bhould believe half the stories told on the party by the
members of the opposing teams.

Of the individual scores Mr. Wdlstencroft stande crediied
with a clean 40 on two occasions, while Stice, Bndd, Ruble,
McMurchv and Whitney have each scores of 39. The tro-
phy, which is to be presented by the United Stales Cartridge
Company to the winning team when the contest is over, is
an elegant Bilver plate 10x20 inches, on which is engraved a
representation of the palace car Iolanthe and the two teams
standing by it, with appropriate inscriptions and ornamenta-
tions.

A happy-go-lucky lot of pilgrims are those inhabiting the
Pullman car Iolanthe, uDder guidance of Colonel C. W. Dim.
mick, Manager of the United States Cartridge Company. The
car was especially fitted up for tbe use of the spoilsmen and
thtynBe tbe whole of it, including the roof and the cellar.
It was Colonel Dimmick's original idea to open each day's
duties with appropriate oblations by that saintly man Par-
son W. F. Quimby. but the jairiDg of continuous travel has
entirely obscured the Parson's recollection of the beautiful
language acquired in his earlier days, along about 1S36, and
'nstead of invocations to the Beveral deities supposed to suc-
cor trap shots, the Parson pours out strange oaths, the like
of which are only beard in Flanders.

Parson Quimby is on the probationer's list for the trip. Of
the other sojourners, not one is named Truth. S. A. Tucker
and Harvey MoMurchy are full of guile as tbe sparks rJy
upward. J. B. Slice and C. W. Budd look as tierce as the
nasty clawing wild-cat carried along as a mascot, but in point
of fact neither has a single redeeming vice. 'Wolstencrott,
Whitney and Heikes are too young to be trusted alone in *
strange city with J. A. Buble. Ruble may mean well, but \\
is impoBsible to understand him. The Perrys are nice men*
even if they are systematically maligued by all the others o*
the party. The whole trip, bo far, has been one unending
lark, and for enjoyment leaves nothing to guess. Colonel
Dimmick, in addition to being a keen man of business, is
one of the heartiest, most engaging of cosmopolitans, and
makes sunshine wherever he camps. All of the team have
our sincerest sympathy.

Colonel Dimmick's Menagerie-

Cut of Allen Trophy.

The collection of solitaires travelling in the interest of the
United States Cartridge Company showed a degree of pluck
on Wednesday last that would do credit to a nerveless man.
Th6 day opened rainy and the water came down in increasing
volumes np to 1 o'clock, the hour at which the teams were
called to the score.

Colonel Ditnmick was urged to postpone the shoot, but re-
marked in his peculiar, snappy way_. "We have not missed a
date und cannot "begin to do bo now."

Messrs. W. J. Golcher and Sheldon I. Kellogg acted as
judges, and Colonel Dimniick as referee in the only match
shot, that at Blue Rock targets, the second match listed hav-
ing to be deferred becaase of lack of daylight in which to
shoot. The teams were;

West—Captain, C W Budd, Des Moines, la.; EO Heikes,
Dayton, O.; J. R. Stice, Omaha, Neb; C. E. Cahoon, Free-
port. 111.; J. A. Rable, Beloit, Wis.

East— Captain, H. McMurchy, Syracuse, N. Y-; W. H.
Walstenoroft, Philadelphia, Pa.; W. E. Perry, Boston, Mass.,
H. B. Whitney, Phelps, N. Y. ; W. S. Perry, Worcester, Mass.

The styles ot the visiting experts at the traps were as many
as there are men, but every one proved himself a master cf
the shot gun. The match was won by the Eastern team.
When all were so masterly close oriticism by anyone but one
equally versed in the art of wing shooting is valueless. The
attendance was limited, and at the end of the race Colonel
Dimmick presented tickets for the great match of to-day to
each spectator. The event of the day was Mr. H. B. Whit-
ney's brilliantly mace clean score. Walstencroft gave a fine
exhibition of brilliant shooting, and won repeated applause.
Heikes, of the Westerners and W. S. Perry, of the Eastern-
ers, were both sorely under the weather, Heikes especially
falling considerably below his average. Ruble had a very
keen eye during the early part of the match, and on the sin-
gle birds had a clean score, but on the doables he seemed to
have lost his nerve completely, killing but two i-f the ten
birds Captains McMurchy and Budd held their own fairly
well, but hardly sustained theirfoimer averages. Stice was
simply himself — cool, steady and reliable. On the single
stoot he missed the second bird, but did not let another one
escape him. The Easterners had the best of the single
match, and also of the doubles, notwithstanding the Western-,
era spurted considerably toward the end;

The prizes won by the Eastern team in yesternay's match
consist of a handsome silver trophy presen ed by Clabrough,
Golcher Sc Co , and gold chain keyrings presented by the
Selby Smeltibgand Lead Company. The following is the score:

On Wednesday eveting tee visiting team of experts were
entertained by local sportsmen, at the Press Club. The
usual supper, and accompaniments were destroyed, and then
in responfce to urgent entreaties, Colonel Dimmick and his
men all told their Utile stories in the peculiar dialect char-
acteristic of aborigines of the wilderness east of the Rocky
Mountains. Pleasant speeches of welcome and congratala-
tion were made by Colonel S. I. Kellogg, W. J. Golcher, E.
T. Allen, Robert Liddle Doctor C. W. Aby, Clarence A.
Haight, H. T. Payne, W. S. Kittle and others. Everybody was
eloquent, except Reverend W. F. Qnimby, of Newark, N. Jer-
Bey, chaplain-in-ordinary to Colonel Dimmick. After supper
Captain Jules Callundan and his brother, Mr. F. H. Callund-
auescoited the partv through Ch.natown visiting all the Blum*
my pi act s usually shown, and some that do not appear in the
guide books.

In the match, shot at Stockton on Monday last by the IT.
B. Cartridge Company aggregation the Eastern learn won by
a score of 177 to 161.

The supervisors of Kern County offer $1,50 for every
oyote scalp, and $5.00 for the scalp of each California lior.

Ducks are thick in the tules at present but the trouble with
hunters is, the water is so high that it is almost impossible to
get into their flights. A party consisting of Stony Campbell,
Charlie Laugenour, M. Diggsand T. Plummer, went one mile
up the river from Knights Landing, on Saturday last and
report many ducks about, but they only succeeded in bag-
ging twenty five.

This afternoon at Height-street base ball park, a match will
be shot at live birds between ten Califoroians and ten of the
United States Cartridge Company's peripatetic sharpshooters.
The California team will be J. K. Oir, Captain, and nine men
from the following list: Jos. Delmas, C. J. Haas, C. A. Mer-
nil, H. A, BaBsford, Sheldon I. Kellogg, H. C. Golcher. Mar-
tinez Chick, Dr. S. E. Knowles, C. B. Smith, F. B. Norton
and Ed Fay. The 10 from Colonel Dimmick's rodeo have
not been announced, but it ia certain -that they will be as
good as any to be found outside of California. The match
begins at 1 o'clock p. m., and is at 15 live birds per roan;
Revised Rules of the American Shooting Association. The
birds are good, the grounds easily reached by cable car, the
seating comfortable, and the prospect of an interesting test
of skill most flattering. Every shooter in or near San Fran-
cisco should be on hand. The trophy to be shot for is pic-
tured elsewhere in the paper.

The above is an iilustiatiou ui a Sterling Silver Trcphy
which is offered by Mr. E. F. Allen, to the winning team in
the live bird match between the United States Cartridge's
Co,s. team and the California team, to be shot for on Febru-
ary 22nd, 1S90. The design is original with Mr. Allen. It ia
of solid sterling silver, seventeen inches high, and seven
inches in diameter at the base. Against the sides of the
Trophy there rest three silver guny, eight inches in length.
Tbey are the exact models of the Parker hammerless. The
drawing was made by Mr. P. B. Beakert, and is in mathe-
matical proportions to one of the $2C0 grade Paiker's of Mr.
Allen's stock. The working models for the Silversmith
were made by the well known gunsmith, Mr. David Thorn.

Messrs. Vanderslice & Co , who are the manufacturers of
this Tropby, cast the butt, frame and forend of the guns in
solid silver; the barrels are made of silver tubes which were
given the proper shape and welded together; then tne upper
and under ribs were soldered to the barrels, which are join-
ed to the stock.

The urn is surmounted by the characteristic emblem of
California, a grizzly bear, modeled after Xahl's great paint-
ing; the action of the bear is perfect.

Messrs. Vanderslice & Co. informs us that one hundred
ounces of pure silver were used in the manufacture of this
trophy, and both design and workmanship reflect credit
upon local skill. Mr. Allen has interested himself in behalf
of the visiting teams in most effective fashion, and is well en-
titled to the consideration shown him by Colonel Dimmick
and his experts.

How to Report.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman*: — The Breeder and
Sportsman report of the trials was at last read. It was good
but could have been better. When a beautiful point is made,
why does not the reporter dwell on it? When a dog wags
his tail and works in a pleasing, merry fashion, why does be
not tell about it? When a dog works with his tail about half
bent like a hoop and never is known to wag it, and never had
aDy tail actioo, be shouid tell about it. When a dog makes
along, beautiful point, tell about it. It is all these little
things put together that make a report cf this kind pleasing
to read. The heals runintne last trials were entirely too
short. Thirty minutes does not amount to aDj-tbiug A good
high-strung deg will not mote than get down to his work
in that time. Thirty minutes is no trial anyhow if the dogs
are any good. It is like runniDg a four mile horse a quarter
of a mile. I would like to see a gocd trial once that was a
trial, a test: say six hour heats. That would amount to
something. It would test something.

Well' won't the lain ever stop? It rains all day and snows
all night; there was more snow on the hills tne last week
than ever before. I am afraid I cau not go quail hunting
but once more this season, but I will go once it I have to go
in the snow. I am going to Capay Valley next Monday and
I wager Hughes and I will kill them, as he knows where they
live, and when that old gun butt of his goes to his Bhoulder
something goes "ker flop."

Count Dick Again.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman :— In publishing the ped-
igree of|Mr. A. B. SperTy's pointer Count Dick in your paper
of February loth, you have made an error. At the request
of Mr. Sparry (when we were at the last field trials), I ob-
tained Count Dick's pedigree of Mr. Jno. C. Lombard, the
gentleman who bred him.

Count Dick is by S. C. Hare's James K. (Bow Jr.— Mollis
Ashe), out of Donna, imported by John C. Lombard in 1838.

Donna is by Wm. Arkwright's Eldon Don (17635 E. K. C.
S. B ), out of his Lady Olive (13433 E. K. C. S. B.), owd sis-
ter to Champion Graphic by Bonus Sancho (10000 E. K. C.
S. B ) — Fnrsdon Juno, own sister to Champion Ponto, and
herself a great winner. Mr. Arkwright writes that Eidon
Don is first rate in the field, and has won a prize each lime
shown.

Count Dick's litter sister won first in the puppy class i':
the last Bench Show in San Francisco, May. 1889, sb"^ri fcj
Wm. Lombard, of Wheatland, Yuba County!

Ike X. Aldrich.

[A worse mes3 than the pedigree of Count Dick s 3 it ap-
peared in this paper last week, we have rarely seen lae
pedigree as given by Mr. Aldrioh is right, and it wa j oar in-
tention to publish a correction, a pleasure which is precluded
by Mr. Aldrich ns kindness. Pointer fanciers shoulc not lose
sight of Dick when planning breeding schemes.— Ken. Ed.]

The Occidental Coursing Club has postponed its meeting
advertised for to day until March 8th. The draw will be
made on the evening of March 5th at No. 21 Kearney Street,
Mr. William Schreibers.

Mr. E. K. Benchley, of Los Angeles, owDer of Kan Koo,
the winning pointer at the Los Angeles doe show, has pur-
chased from R. T. Vandevort a pointer bitch, litter sister to
Baron von Schroeder's Point, and has bred her to Kan Koo.
Kan Koo is by Rush T— Patti Croxteth T, and as the bitch
is by Vandevort's Don — Drab, the cross should produce some
field cracks.

We shall feel obliged if Dr. Edmonds and Mr. Font will
send us the pedigrees of their dogs.

Southern California is fast forging to the front in sporting
dogs as it has in other lines. A grandly-bred pointer bitch
has recently been brought to Dr. M. E. Taber at San Bernar-
dino. The bitch is by Mainspring out of Maud by Croxteth —
Trinket, a bard combination to beat. An old pointer bitch
by Sensation is owned in the same town by Dr. Edmonds.
Mr. A. W. Broner at Colton owns a fine rangy, black pointer
by Masimus — Lady Pape, bred by John Drees in Arkansas.
The dog is said by Mr. H. T. Payne and other good judges to
be a clinker. Mr. Blake, also of San Bernardino, has recently
imported from the kennels of J. B. Dilley in Wisconsin, a
fine young pointer by Ranger Croxteth. Mr. C. E. Font at
Los Angeles, has bought a good young pointer from Mr.
George W. BasEford.

A hundred keen coursers gathered at Ocean View Park on
Sunday last, the attraction being a match for eight docs.
The ground was soft and the hares not particularly quick,
because of the continued wet werther. The day wa3 raw and
gusty and showers fell at short intervals. T. J. Cronin ownB
the winner old Jack Dempsey a dog that has killed nuny a
hare, yet runs true as ever.

Messrs. Eagan, Beehan and Tiernan were the judges, and
gave satisfaction, except in the course between Sport and
Bally vourney, the latter dog as seen from the stand, doing by
far the greatest amount of woik, but the judges gave the
course to Sport, wbich called forth considerable unfavorable
comment from the owner of Bally. The following is the re-
sult of the running:

T. J. Cronin's Jack Dempsey beat J. Shea's McGinty; P.
Canavan,s Sport beat P. Brophy's Ballyvourney; P. Carty'B
Whip beat P. Canavan'a ChroDiele, and N. Nolan's Sam Nash
beat H. Baxter's Daisy.

First Ties— Jack Dempsey beat Spot, Sam Naeh beat Whip.

Final—Jack Dempsey beat Sam Nash and won the stakes,
$20; Sam Nash second, $12.

BILLIARDS.

The coming Sch a ffer- McCleery contest naturally over-
shadows all other billiard news.

The match is made for $2,000 aside. TheExaminer is
the stakeholder, and it will come ofE about April 1st. Game
3,000 points up, to be played in three nights, 1,000 points
each evening.

The original agreement was game to be for $2,500 a side.
We called on Prof. McCleery for an explanation. Here it is:
'The game or games said Mc, grew out of a remark Schaffer
made that he could discount me at billiards, any game on the
table." In answer, I said I will make the game and in ad-
dition will play Schaffer a match at pin pool for the world's
championship and $2,500 a tide.

Mr. Roche on Schatfer's part called on me about a week
ago to make both games — an engagement was made for the
next evening to settle the details.

I found that two of my friends were out of the city and I
could not make the games; then Mr. Roche pnt up a forfeit
giving me a week to covt r it, (which I have dot e) to secu' e tie
billiard match — but for $2,000 a side, at the same time I uave
the privilege of patting up the other $500, and will do so
before the game comes off. On account of not having the coin
I cannot make the pool match at present." Now you have it
straight.

Mc has a table in the ladies billiard-room of the Baldwin
hotel, and will begin practice at once. As he is the manager,
he plays almost every afternoon or evening in the public
room; quite a treat for admirers of the game.

Jim Orndorff has not been well of late, but easily knocks
off fifty or more as a light exercise.

A spirited contest, 100 points up for $20, took place at the
Baldwin Taesdsy afternoon between two of our well-known
amateurs.

"How times change," remarked a gentleman as « party
from the opera Btrolled into the Baldwin billiard room md
were courteously shown through by an attendant. On en-
quiring, we found that hardly a day or evening pabs <1 with-
out from one to a dozen parties paying the room a visit. "It
gives tone to the bouse," says Manager McCleery, "aud I am
sure the patrons like it."

Saylor could make a match nnd get good odds from Mc
Cleery. Brace up, Ben.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPfllPPDS,

SUMMARY.

The weather has onoe more turned traitor and the out-
door atMetes are worse off than ever. The members of the
lip ne Club were compelled to postpone their in.t al held
games on aeeount of the muddy condition of the track at
Harbor View. The regular monthly exhibition of the Oc-
cidental Club was held on Monday evening last, and on the
lowing evening the California Club gave one of the b«t
entertainments witnessed in its rooms for a long t™e. In
onr colnmos below will be found a report of the Olympic
Clubs' "Ladies Night."

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The rain, the rain, the awful rain, has knocked the athletes
out again. ..

The weather is simply terrible and the runners and walk-
ers are about as baaly off as they were « »ont£ ?S£ ,£
the present time it is hard to guess how long the bad weatn
er iBPgoing to remain with us. The storm is l.able to continue
for weeks yet. .

Buchanan, the Australian athlete is a man of mighty mua-
cle and the O vmpic Club will do well in securing mm as a
member Jud'ging from Ibe feats which he performed on
-Ladies NightS hf should be well able to land the shot-put
ting and hammer-throwing events on May 30.

J. J. McKinnon of the Alpine Club is in good trim and
will make an excellent record in the hammei event at his
olubs games.

A H Lean will shortly become a member of the Olympic
Club He will compete in the opening games on May 30.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club will hold its first in-
door exhibition at the club rooms, 706 Powell street, next
week. . .

Several of the Olympic Club runners took a spin on their
new track on Sunday last. Cooley ran one and a half miles
inS:04.

What baa hecome of Haley, the crack long distance runner?

A eood many of the runners who are to compete in the five
mile run ot the Olympic Club on ihe 26th inst., would much
prefer to have the race come off at the new grounds instead
of at the club rooms. It is thought that some of the best
runners will petition the Board of Directors to make the
change. Coolev and Espinoza are both in fine conoition, and
if they had a chance to run on the new track both of them
would certainly improve the present record

McDonald ia looked upon as the winner of the "Novice"
one hundred yards run on Decoration Day.

Mr Victor E. Schifferstein was seen at S in Jose one day
last week, and in an interview stated positively that he has
retired from the cinder path.

Oiing to the sudden change in the weather, the games ot
the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club were not held on Sunday
last The rain which fell for two days previous had left the
track in such a slippery condition that it was considered
danserous for the runners and walkers to attempt to do their
best In order not to disappoint the couple of hundred spec-
tators present, about a dozen of the athletes volunteered to
give exhibitions, and between the showers which fell all the
aflernoon the following events were given:

100-yards run— John D. Garrison, E J. Luttrmger, E. P.

880 wirds run— Charles Little, K. J. Luttringer, M. 0.
Giry I K. Collins, E. P. Moody, John D. Garrison.

Running High Jump— P. N. Gafuey, Charles Vultee.

Flinging 561b. weight— J. K. Collins, P. N. Gafney, J. J.
McKinnon, C. Vultee. J. W. Creugh.

Half mile walk— P. N. Gafney, Charles Vnltee.

Amongst the audience were many ladies who enjoyed the
sport immensely. The games will come off, weather permit-
ting, on Sunday, March 2nd.

The first cross-country run of the Alpine Club has been
postponed to Sunday, March 16th.

C. A. Eldiidge and W. L. Jeffery of the Alpine Club have
been matched to run a one hundred yards race on March
2nd.

I. McLaughlin gave an exhibition two mile run at Harbor
View on Sunday, covering the distance in 13 minutes and 10
seconds, which, considering the muddy state of the track,
was remarkably good time.

The Acme Club of Oakland has a membership of over 250

THE WHEELMEN.

The Garden City Wheelmen of San Jose, Cal., have appli-
ed for admission into the P. C. A. A. A.

The complimentary party given by the Bay City Wheelmen
at Union Square Hull on Monday evening last was a great
success. Only 150 tiokets were issned which fact made the
ball a very select one. Dancing was enjoyed from 9 p, M. to
1 a. M. A tine orchestra performed during the evening.

Arthur Wright, Vice Consul of California and a member of
the Oakleaf Wheelmen was in town last Saturday to attend
the Patti Matinee. He reported everything lovely and ex-
pressed a hope that the weather would turn out fine on
Washiogtoos Birthday.

Captain Richardson of the Bay City Wheelmen had called a
club run far Saturday and Sunday February 22 and 23 to
HealdHburg, through Sonoma Co., but on account of the
rain the run has been indefinitely postponed.

Reports from tne interior say that the present storm has
played sad havoc with the roads.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

At the games of the Forty-seventh Regiment held recently
in New York City, W. D. Day, of the New Jersey A. C,
broke the three mile indoor running record, covering the
distance iu 15miu 12sec. On the same evening C. L. Nicoll,
of the Manhattan A. C, broke the indoor board-floor record

Lange's record of 6m 55s.

The indoor joint meeting of the Nautilus Boat Club and
Company H, Thirteenth Regiment, N G S N Y, took place at
the Armory in Hanson Place. Brooklyn, N. Y , on VVedoes-
day evening, Feb. 5 h. The assemblage was large enough to
occupy all the seats in the hall, and the competition awakeDed
at timeB considerable enthusiasm. Especially was this the
case in the final heat of tbe fifty yards run, which resulted in
a dead heat for first place, and when the dead heaters ran it
off" the result was the Bame. They tried it og'iin, when M.
Remington, of the Nautilus B C, won by six inches ODly. Re-

ing the greatest number of points was won by the New Jer-
sey Athletic Club with 16 points; Prospect Harriers second

A half-mile track, with very easy turns, is tobe constructed
at the grounds of the New York Jockey Club, within the reg-
ular borse-racing track, under the supervision , of the veteran
George Goldy, instructor to the New York Athletic Club. It
will be built of cinders, and it is intended to make it superior
in all respects to any other path in the country. There will
also be facilities within the new track for the practice of field
enorts, and. when completed, the new grounds will be the
snot for the decision of the principal athletic and cycling fix-
tures as the accommodations, which are to include a new
and commodious club house, etc., will be superior to others.

AT THE OARS.

The oarsmen have been forced to abandon practice once
more on account of the change in the weather. Only a cou-
ple of crews were out on Sunday, the bay being unusually
rough and the weather cold and wet.

Henry Henceman, of Stockton will train from the Colum-
bia boat house for his coming race with Charles Long on
Sunday March 16.

William H. Growney has written to Brown of Boston mak-
ing enquiries as to the latest style of boat and will probably
send for the latest improvement. Mr. Growney is determin-
ed to make a good showing in the coming regattas.

Eug»ne Flanders of the Ariel Rowing Club says be would
like to see ihe big crews of the clubs belonging to the Paci-
fic Rowing Association compete in a four oarea shell race and
settle the question what clnb is really entitled to the cham-
pionship.

Richmond J. Luttringer of the Alpine Club will represent
the after waist in the Amateur Crew of this club the coming
summer.

Charley Long has secured the services of Walter Blake to
(rain him for his race with Henry Henceman. He has taken
up headquarters at the Yall boat house.

The Lurline Club has offered a fine silk banner, to be con-
tested for during the season, to the member winning the
greatest number of events.

The Dolphin Club will hold open house on Sunday, March
2nd . All the clubs belonging to the Rowing Association have

for their

been invited to attend. During the afternoon, a tine pro
gramme of boat and swimming races will be given.
The Alpine Club will shortly purchase a boat
crew.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

The following prizes will be presented to the runners of
the five mile run which will come off at the Olympic Club on
February 26th. First prize, diamond locket; second prize,
diamond ring; third prize, gold watch charm. There will be
over a dozen starters.

At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Associ-
ation, held on Friday evening. February 14th, the Alpine
Amateur Athletic Club was admitted to membership.

The members of the G. G. A. C. annex are confident that
their club will be allowed to remain in the P. C. A. A. A.

The California Club would do well in giving up some of
their club rooms. Judging from the number ot members
that take exercise in the gymnaBium, that branch of the olub
does not appear to be paying. Very few of the members
care to viBit New Montgomery street except on "fight' nights,
and it would certainly be a great saving of money to the club
if it decided to give up all its rooms exoept the hall where the
tights are now held.

The Alpine Club moved to its new rooms, 706 Powell
street, on Monday evening. The building, formerly occupied
by the Eureka Turn Verein, is admirably suited for an ama-
teur club, and the Alpines did well in selecting tbe place for
their headquarters. The gymnasium which is furnished with
all tbe necessary apparatus, is 110 feet long by 44 feet wide;
besides, there are large dressing-rooms, with lockers attached,
showers, officers' rooms, reading and card rooms, hat-room,
and large store-rooms. The class nights will be Monday,
Wednesday and Friday of each week. Persons desinug to
visit the roomB must procnie visitor's cards from the Presi-
dent of the club. Ladies will be allowed to visit the rooms
on Friday nights. An indoor exhibition will be given once a
month.

Tbe enthusiasm over the proposed new building of the
Olympic Club appears to have died out.

BakerBfield is to have an Athletic Club. A preliminary
meeting of those interested was held in the Courthouse
of that city on Friday evening of last week. S. L. Blodget
was appointed temporary chairman, and J. J. Early Secre-
tary. A list of about Bixty-five waB read, being the names of
those who bad already signified their desire to join the new
olub, and it was thought that the number could easily le in-
creased to 100. On motion, the chairman appointed T. J.
Packard, Alex. Hc-yman, J. J. Eearley, J F. O'Boyle and
M. Goldberg, a committee on peimantnt organization. By
unanimous vote the chairman wbs added to the committee.
It was then authorized to solicit membership and requested
to fully inform itself about a fitting place for the club. With
that business foresight bo characteristic of the man, Mr. W.
E. Houghton convened the members of 'he S.udents and
Sportsman's Club on Saturday evening to consider the mat-
ot inviting the co-operation of the Aihletes in formiDg one
large, Bound and reliable Clnb rather than two or three lesser
institutions. With all its progressiveness, it must be admit-
ted that Bakerstield is hardly large enough as yet to sustain
a properly equipped amateur Athletic Club. But if social
features are added and the whole clubbable element of the
city interested, an organization can be founded which will do
credit to the city and become a notable feature of Southern
California.

"Ladies Night" at the Olympic Club-

A "Ladies Night" exhibition was given at the Olympio
Club-rooms on Thursday evening, February 18th. The spa-
clons gymnas.um was comfoitably filled with ladies and
gentlemen, who thoroughly eujoyed the athl&tic feast pre-
pared for them. The opera kept a good many of the mem-
bers away, otherwise there would not have been so many un-
occupied 6eats in the gallery. The exhibition began at pre-
cisely 8:30 o'clock.

The first event of the evening was the five performances
on the parallel bars by P. P. Bernh&rat, Clement J. Schuster,
George S. Miehling, W. J. Zeiner, J. M. Brewer, Jr., John
Schuster, Arthur Keller and J. S. J. Otto. All tbe athletes,
without exception, e bowed a careful training, and their differ-
ent acts earned loud applause.

The second number was pyramids by the juvenile class.
The following youngsters under the directions of Prof. W.
Smyth and P. P. Bernhardt, took part in the exhibition: H.
S. Russ, Eddie Winterburo, Willi. Smith, Otto Hasslinger,
Thomas Pike, Eomond Lyons, Harry Kennedy, Alex. Ens-
bury, Willie Ensbury, J. H. McCallough, Walter N. Hogg.
A fine arrangement of calcium lights helped to show the dif-
ferent groupings to perfection.

The third eveut was wrestling, and the following members
proved themselves to be well up in the art: Jeff Martin and
Eugene Van Court, C. J. Lai gen and W. T. Haberly. Four
pupils of the juveoile class also entertained the audience with
ciever displays of their ability and strength. They were W.
N. Hogg and J. Woolrich, E ldie Diggins and Fred Knight.
The last pair looked like lilypats, and their comical antics
kept the spectators in a constant war of laughter.

Messrs F. A. Grim, J. H. Marshall, P. P. Cernharat and
Prof- W. Smith followed in gladiatorial groupings. This
exhibition waB a combination of grace, strength and care-
ful practice and each time tbe athletes appeared under the
calcium lights thev received their Bhare of applause.

Henry B. Russ, the treasurer of the club who presided in
the absence of the President and Vice President next an-
nounced that the medals won at the last field day of the
Club and the prizes won at the late boxing tournament were
ready for distribution, and he proceeded to oall out the
names of the winners whom he requested to step forward
and receive their prizes. As each man crossed the floor to
where Mr. Russ was seated at a table be was greeted with
unbounded applause. The prizes for the boxing tourna-
ment were very costly, while the medals for the field games
were unusually handsome.

The second part of the programme began with an exhibi-
tion on the horizontal bar by Messrs. Ben Bogner and Thom-
as S. Daie (clown). The former appeared to have lo6t none
of his old time grace and skill while the latter was encored at
leaBt half a dozen times. He annonnced that owing to an
accident his partner was unable to appear. In a short speech
he said that in all his travels in Germany. England, France,
etc., he had never seen a club as nicely fitted up as the Olym-
pic club of San Francisco. His imitation of a boy learning to
smoke was highly amusing. The club presented him with a
handsome baBket of flowers.

J B Buchanan, a young amateur athlete lately arrived from
Australia, showed the fair sex how he could handle 50, 75
and 100 lb dumb bells. He also swuug a pair of very heavy
Indian clubs. G H Famerely and F A Chapins gave an
exhibition of fencing which was rather tame.

The following appeared in sparring bouts: E M Brown
and Joseph T Healy, juvenile class; M G FeDn and E
Stracbam, juvenile class; A J Treat and J P Jackson Jr; Tom
McCord and Eddie Graney.

The bouts between the two latter were particularly inter-
esting. Tug of war by Juvenilee closed the entertainment.
The contest was for the championship of the Juvenile class.
The following is a list of the contestants:

Invinoible— N Eckart, F Downing, Eddie Diggins, A Nel-
son, W D Leahy, E Smith, A Ensbury, A McCarthy.

Nonpareil— Walter N Hogg, J Woolrich. Willie Smith, J H
McCullough, Willie Ensbury, Herbert Meyer, Harry Ken-
nedy, Henry Newmark.

The NonpareilB polled their opponents twice out of three
times across the line and won a very even contest. An ex-
cellent string band added much to the pleasure of the
evening.

bis future home, aud will establish a training Btable at the
Oakland track. He has already been promised several eilt
edged trotters. "Pete" is a good driver and comes highly rec-
commended.

A few days ago, Yolo Maid, who is now quartered at Mr.
Daly's Montana Ranch, reoeived an injury which may in-
capatia'e her from further track work. If Bnch should prove
to be the case, the wonderfully fast pacer will be bred to Roy
Wilkes, in all probability,

The Solano and Napa Agricultural Colt Stakes, with
amounts guaranieed, area new departure in this line and
should be a move in the right direotion. Since the young
blood was infused in this society, it has proven one of the
most progressive in the State.

Jauob Steffen of Vallejo will sell at a bargain the bay stal-
lion Afternoon 6543, by Almont McGregor 1775, dam Min-
nie by Gen Hatch 139; also a handsome brown road naare,
■which can trot easily to a cart in 2:40 or better. Who wants
to piok np a couple of cheap animals?

It is not known generally that Orrin A. Hickok was the
first man in the United States to make a stallion net. He
had had a ereat deal of trouble with Elmo, and his ingenuity
finally brought f-rth the net, which, if he had patented,
would no doubt have made him a fortune.

Mr. Charles Marvin, telegraphed Mr May Overton, Nash-
ville, Tenn., two weeks ago that he had found a purchaser
for Bow Bells, own brother to Bell Boy, at $25,000. Mr.
Overton declined the offer and Bow Bells who is at Palo Alto,
will be shipped to Nashville, Tenn., next week.

While many newspapers have stated that Orrin A. Hic-
kok would go East with a string of horses this year, the
"TallyraDd of the Tnrf" has not determined yet wbetber he
will invade the big circuit or not. As he says himself "it
all depends on what kind of tools I have to work with."

T. B Merry, who is now on his way to Australia to buy
tbor'ougbred horses for L.J.Rose, of Los Angeles, will ar-
rive in Sydney Saturday, March 8th. Some of the newspa-
pers have stated that he might possibly buy Bravo for Mr.
Baldwin; he will not buy Bravo— at least for Mr. Baldwin.

To many inquiries I will state that the Bbefdek and
Sportsman is put into the San Francisco poet-office every
Friday evening between six and seven o'clock. If there are
any subscribers who do not get their paper on time, the fault
lies with the postal authorities, who of late have been very
negligent.

When Axtell was formerly announced as being in the stud,
only a short tim& elapsed before his book was full. The
syndicate who own the noted stallion are in receipt of letters
offering a large bonus above the advertised price ($1,000) if
more mares can be taken. One enthusiast offers $1,300 for
» service for his mare.

W. H. McCarthy has refused an offer of $13,000 for his
chestnut mare, Geneva S. She showed her ability to trot
very fast last summer by driving a horse out to his throat-
latch in 2:15, and she was a close second to another in 2:14£
Her record is 2:19$. Many prominent horsemen predict that
she will trot in 2:12 or better the ooming summer.

Charles Sampson of San Francisco, has purchased from
Morgan Hill, Madrone Station. Santa Clara County, the very
promising stallion Prince Warwick, by Alcona 730; dam
Warwick Maid by Mam brino Almont. etc. The priee paid
was $6 000. Prince "Warwick is very speedy, and was
handled by Mr. Hickok last fall, the veteran driver thinking
very highly of the horse.

I took a look at imp Intruder a few days ago, and found
him in the pink of condition. His superhlv royal breeding
baB called the attention of prominent horsemen to the sire of
Ibe dam of Spokane, the Kentucky Derby winner, and Mr.
Knight, his owner, has wisely decided to -stand him at Sac-
ramento during the present season.

Many of the Eastern associations are talking of large stakes
with only five per cent, entrance money. Whioh will be the
first of the "Slope" associations to start, such an inovation?

At Irvington a disease resembling the griD has broken out
among the horses. The horses first snuffle and discharge
a thin fluid from the nostrils, whioh iB followed with symp-
toms of foundering, the hind legs being subject to the sever-
est attaoks. The breathing is short and jerky, and actual
panting or gasping sometimes occurs. The disease lasts
about one week. — Mercury.

As will be seen by the report of our special correspondent
at Buffalo, Mr. Frank L. Coombs of Napa has been selected
as the new member of the Board of Review for the Pacific
Coast. A good judge of horse flesh, familiar with all the
horsemen of the coaBt, and thoroughly well posted on all the
rules, he is the right man in the right place.

At the N. T. A. Congress several amendments were made
to the present rules, among others, Section 2 of Rule I. now
makes it obligatory with owners, drivers and trainers enter-
ing and competing over National Association tracks to form-
allyreoognize the jurisdiction of said tracks. The rule is to
avoid similar defenses as made by Nelson and Noble.

Mr. Valentin reported, before he started East, that Sid-
ney's book only required eight more mares to "11. The suc-
cess of this horse is not to be wondered at, when it is
considered what a sire of speed he is. Simmocolon, who
was going to make the Beason at the Valensin Farm, has
been Bhipped back East, and will be placed in James Gold-
smith's hands for a low record.

Fred. W, Loeber, of St. Helena, has been under the
weather lately, but is able to be around once more. He re-
ports Whippleton, 1883. Alcona 730, and Grandissimo, all
in fine fettle, with the prospect of a heavy gtod season be-
fore each of them. Prospective purchasers should bear in
mind that good horses can always be purchased for reasona-
ble figures at the Vineland s*-nCk farm.

Wm. Corbitt, of the San Miieo stock farm, informs me
that the book of Guy Wilkes 2:15£, is fall, both for 1890
and 1891. This announcement would have been made in
the advertisement but was received to late to change the
forms. The premier stallion of San Mateo is well worthy of
this liberal patronage, especially as he is now acknowledged
to be the very best of the Wilkes family.

There are many who think that the trotting boom is at its
height, but we venture fo pr diet that what is called a
"boom," is really no false inflation, but the market valae of
stallions and prices will remain for years to come as high as
they are at present. It is only a few months ago that F. P.
Lowell, of Sacramento, sold to Crittenden and Barri of
Bridgeport, Conn., the Electioneer Btallion, Fallis, 2:23 for
the stated price of ? 12,000. A few days ago the new owners
refused $25,000 for the horse.

William Witzel of Oshkosh, Wis., has been ill for some
time with what was supposed to be laryngitis. His physician,
Dr. Gudden, after due examination, declares the case to be
glanders, and his diagnosis is coincided in by other physi-
cians. For three weeks prior to the illnesB Witzel was em-
ployed on a farm where, last snmmer. several glandered
horses were shot by order of the State Veterinarian, and is
supposed to have been inoculated with the disease by con-
tact with some infeoted substance.

The proprietor of the S*n Mateo Stock Farm has had a
good deal of his time taken up this week with a lawsuit
which has given him a great deal of annoyance. It seems
that when Mr. Keogh of San Francisco died, one of the
persons in charge sold a mare and two fillies to Mr. Corbitt
for $1,000. The claim is now made that a larger price can
be secured for the stock, and that the sale was irregular as
the probite court had not passed on the status ot tbe execu-
tors. The case is still on.

On Tuesday, March 4th, MeBBrs. Killip & Co. will sell by
auction at the Bay District Track a consignment of eight
ClydeBkale stallions and seven mares of the same breed.
They have all been especially selected for the California mar-
ket by such good judges as J. TreB trail, J. Burns and J.
Scott This is a rare opportunity for those who fancy the
heavy draft horses to secure bargains. Stockmen are re-
quested to call ftnd examine them before the day of sale at
the track and Villa stables, where they are now quartered.

Last week an article appeared in our columns taking Scott
Qointin to task for a reported interview which appeared in a
Chicago paper. Mr. Quintin made me a pleasant call daring
the early part of the week, and flhowed conclusively whare
th« writer of the original article had misquoted him. We
thought at tbe time that the reporter must have been mis-
taken, and are glad to think that the article as written were
not his statements. ^Mr. Quiutin says he will return East in
a day or two.

At the combination sale shortly to be held in this city, Mv,
Irvin Avres will offer a superior lot of trotters by Mambrino
Wilkes 6082 and several brood mares in foal to Balkan 8848.
If other breeders will come forward and make entries liberal-
ly in this great pale it should prove a red letter day in the
anoals of hors^ breeding in this state. Almost every day per-
s ins come to this oftj ^e, ask ng if we know of purohasers for
their horses, this is the very opportunity for them. Enter
with Killip & Co and try to make the annual combination
sale a grand success

Dr. C. W. Aby. manager of the Gnenoo stud farm, reports
that his grand old mare, Leverett. has thrown to the cover
of imp. Greenback, a fine filly. "Doc." is very enthusiastic
over the new-comer, and predicts a great future for ber.
Mares are being rapidly booked to Greenback and St. Savior;
tbe two noted stallions, being two of the best in the State.
The breeding in both are excellent, and as grand outorosses
for the mares of this State, have no superiors. Terms, etc.,
can be found in another column. The genial Doolor sent
his two'year-nld, Rodman, on with the Valensin horsed, and
Mr. Pincus will prepare him for a summer campaign.

Not to be ontdone by the other Montana Associations, the
Agricultural, Mineral and Mechanical Association of Helena
aie out with a list of stakes, three of whioh are for runners'
and two for trotters. The meeting will be held from August
20th to 30th inclusive, and $15,000 will he given in stakes
and pnr^es Many improvement have been made in the
grounds aDd buildings, and it is confidently asserted that
the association grounds bb they now are. beat anything west
of Chicago. To those contemplating a visit through the

Senator Stanford had iutended serving a large number of
mares to Palo Alto this year, but has of late left the matter in
the hands of Mr. Marvin, who will select a few choice ones
only, and then prepare Palo Alto for a hot campaign.

Daniel Donnelly, of Amador Co., was instantly killed while
crossing Sutter Creek, on the bridge, near lone last Thurs-
day. He was on his way home from San Francisco, and
stepped out on the platform to take a look at the swollen
stream. While leaning over he was Btruck on the head by
one of the briige timbers, the body falling into the creek.
At laBt accounts the corpse had not been recovered. Mr.
Donnelly leaves a wife and two children, who have the heart-
felt sympathy of the entire community. "Dan," as he was
familiarly oiled, was a genial whole-souled man, and a great
lover of horses, he having owned many good ones since he camr
to the Pacific Coast in the early "sixties." He was a native
of New York City, and was a few days over fifty years old.

In last week's issue of the Breeder and Sportsman there
were two challenges from L. A. Davis, owner of Roy Wilkes,
one to O. A. Hickok, and the other to C. H. Corey of Sat
Jose. The latter gentleman has replied as follows, which, of
course, prevents a match between the Wilkes representative,
and Almont Patohen, as Roy must be taken East in April.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: There has been a great
deal of talk about the fast pacing stallion, Roy Wilkes, record
2:123, an<l I don't propose for him to come out here and not
get a race, for I will pace Almont Pa tchen against Roy Wilkes
and all other pacers now in California, that have a deBire to
enter in the race for one cr two thousand dollars a corner,
mile heats, three in five, to rule. Race to take place on the
Bay District, or on San Jose tracks, on or about May 20th,
1890. Entries io be sent to the Breeder and Sportsman.
Now this will give all the fast pacing stock a chance to show
what they can do. Yours truly, C. H. Curey.

In answer to an editorial which appeared in the Breeder
and Sportsman two or three weeks ago, "Iconoclast" says
in tbe Kentucky Stock Farm: "When it comes to agtd horses,
California has never been able to do anything with the rec-
ord of the Kentucky-bred Maud S.. Jay-Eye-See. or the stal-
lion record of Axtell. If there is any place on the foot-stool
wh^re better horses are made than in the Blue Gr^ss region
of Kentucky, that place has yet to be discovered. We admire
the enterprise and energy of our California friends, but
judging the fatare by the past, Kentucky will continue for
some time to come to furnish them marks to shoot at in tbe
records of her aged horses. When they want to improve their
stock we will still furnish them with the best we have. We
believe in giving them a fair chance." Many thauks, Icono-
clast, for the offer of the best you have, but the "beBt you
have" are evidently inferior to ours, as is proven by the fact
that so many of your neighbors come to California to pur-
chase our stook. By the way, have you kept coant of how
many Kentucky mares have been sent to this State to breed
to California stallions? Come to think of it, just shoot for a
little while at 2:12J and 2:I2£ by aged stallions, and then we
will give you a fresh mark to exercise at.

When the Directors, stockholders and members of the
Santa Rosa Agricultural Park Association met last Monday
there was only one bid found presented for the grounds of
the soeiety, and that was from G. A. Tupper, the amount of-
fered being $15,000. The gentleman afterwardB tendered
$16,000, but on motion he was allowed to withdraw the offer.
The Republican says:

W. P. Thompson, Esq., representing Ruf us Murphy, in
terposed an objection to all the proceedings, and offered a
protest against the same, asserting that the proceedings of
the meeting were not in accordance with the provisions of
the statute, and denied the power of tbe Board of Directors
to sell the property under such proceedings.

J. N. Bailhache moved that the Board of Directors be em-
powered by the stock-holders to Bell the property at as satis-
factory price as can be obtained.

The proposition was carried by a vote of 1,847 shares to
150 in the negative. Mr. Thompson protesting on behalf of
Mr. Murphy to the roll call.

John Strong asked for thirty days time to form an organi-
zation to purchase the property for agricultural ground pur-
poses.

S. I. Allen then moved that the matter be left open until
tbe first day of March to give the people an opportunity to
form an agricultural organization and purchase the property,
which motion prevailed.

Death of Lorena.

Capt. Ben E. Harris has suffered a serious loss in the
death of his very fast mare Lorena 2:30 (made as a two year
old) which occurred sometime during Sunday night at the
stable corner of Turk and Stiner streets. When the closed
box-stall was open on Monday morning by the attendanti
Lorena was found lying on her right side dead, and Bhe evi"
dently had been for several hours. In several corners of tbe
s'all there were quantities of blood, there being at the hea-1 of
the poor animal great clots of coagulated blood, and a mass
of froth tinctured, with red, attached to the nostrils.

Captain Harris was negotiating with an Eastern horseman
for the sale of the mare, but the price asked was considered
excessive, still her owner was aware that she was phenom.
enably fast, and considered that he has a mortgage on every
stake in which she was entered. This opinion was shared by
all who knew anything about the nlly, and there are manj
who credited her with being able to beat 2:20 easily.this year.
The following certificate has been issued.

San Francisco, Feb. 17, 1890.

This is to certify that at the request of Capt. B. E. Harris
of Sau Francisco, we, this day, held a postmortem examina-
tion on the brown mare Lorena, and found that the imme-
diate cause of death was dne to rupture of one of the large
pulmonary veins of tbe right lung. At the point of rupture
tbe vein was in a morbid state, being much dilated, and
from all appearances such condition had existed for a con-
siderable period.

We also found that the same vein was vanuosed at the en-
trance of the left auricle of the heart.

Tbe right lung itself was in a state of chronic congestion,
which mus*. have existed some lime previous to death.

The stomach was particularly healthy, and contained a
quantity of food partially digested; also blood, which had
evidently been swallowed during the profuse hfnmrrW;,

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders AssociatioD
wishes to do everything that can be done to advance the
legitimate interest of the trotting horse, his owner, and
his breeder. In order to work effectively, it must have
liberal support and an invitation to join the association
is hereby given to everyone who wishes to help on this
work.

With the exception of the Stanford Stakes, the purses
and stakes that will close on March 1st, are open only
to members of the association. These races are arranged
so as to give colts of all classes a fair chance to earn
their oats, and it is hoped that the number of entries will
encourage the association to offer still more purses for
young stock.

Particular attention is asked for the purses given for
two, three and four-vear olds, the produce of stallions
that have never produced a 2:30 performer. The Direc-
tors of the association feel that there are many young
stallions of great merit on this coast, whose produce will
not have a fair show while they are compelled to enter
and start against the developed produce of the large
breeding farms. The fact that a young stallion has no
2:30 performers is nothing discreditable, as his colts may
have had no Dossible opportunity of showing their merit
Consider that several stallions which are now among
the best iu the land, were not long ago without repre-
sentatives in the list. Anteeo, who will make a large
season at a fee of £300, was up to a comparatively short
time ago, without 2:30 performers. William L. was
one of the great unknown up to the appearance of Ax-
tell. "Who knows how many young'horses there are who
would compare well with any if they but had a chance.
As an example we quote the following from an article
by Mr. Jos. Cairn Simpson, who writes as follows:

''Should nothing happen in the interval to change our
views, entries will certainly be made in all of them (the
two, three and four-year-old purses for colts sired by
horses who have not produced a 2:30 performer) whereas,
in the open stakes for three and four-year-olds there
will have to be an unexpected display of speed to war"
rant engaging in stakes where Hegal Wilkes, Pedlar
Lorena and Hista are likely to appear, and in that
where Margaret S., Lilian "Wilkes and some others are
sure to be in. There could not be a bill which would be
wore to our individual wants than that offeied, as with
the exception of these named and the yearling stake we
will enter in all the purses and the two-year-old stake,
this if the entries close March 1st, or sooner, for if later
may be disappointments to change the plan. Now there
is no question that the arrangement agreed-upon, is a
boom to the small breeders as it is fair to infer that
many are iu the same situation."

Mr. Simpson has stated the case very strongly and
there seems to be no shadow of a doubt but that the en.
ries to the purses for the produce of stallions who have
no 2:30 performers will be very many. It is the wish of
the association that Colt Stakes may become one of the
most popular features of our trotting meetings.

In the past they have resulted far too often in walk-
overs, but this may be laid to the entire lack of proper
classification. It is just as reasonable to expect horses
to enter against Stamboul and Palo Alto as it is is to ex-
pect breeders to enter their untried colts against such
world beaters as Suuol, Kegal Wilkes, Margaret S and
Faustino. Men will not only refuse to enter iu the face
of sure defeat, but even if they are rash enough to enter,
they will never make the secoud or third payment when
such formidable names are iu the list of possible starters.
While the Directors have thus endeavored to provide
for the interests of the small breeder, the great breeding
farms that have made California famous as the greatest
country in the world for the production of early stock
have by no means been neglected. Stakes have been
opened for yearlings, two year olds, three year olds and
four year olds, which are absolutely free to all. Then
the three minute class for three year olds and the 2:40
class for four year olds gives the large breeding farms
an opportunity to start any of their already tried and
proved colts.

The entries to toepe stakes and purses and also to the
2:30 stallion race will close on March 1st. At the same
date the entries for the Stanford Stakes for 1&00 will

close. Every man who ownes a horse that he considers
worthy of any patronage whatsoever should see to it that
some of the progeny of the horse be entered in as many
of these purses and stakes 'as possible. All breeders
should also consider the additional value given a promis-
ing colt by the fact of an entry in a valuable stake-
Every one who has or expects to have good colts should
make a personal matter of adding to the list of members
and to the entries in the purses and Btakes, as with proper
support the Association can greatly increase the value of
every good colt ou the coast by opening up opportuni -
ties to such colts to earn money. When classified colt
purses become as popular as they will become under
proper management, the opportuniiies for profit will be
so greatly increased that good gaited, well bred colts
that are entered in the valuable stakes and purses that
the Association intends to give will be worth large sums
of money. It is especially desired that these stakes and
purses that close on March 1st receive the entry of every
good colt in the State. If the purses for the produce of
untried stallions fill as largely as it now seems probable
that they will, there is little doubt but that the various
Agricultural Associations will offer similar purses, and
thus increase the opportunities for a colt to earn muney.
The first payment in all these entries is very reasonable
so reasonable, in fact, that any one who has several colts
can well afford to enter them in all, and make second and
third payments on those that train on in the most satis-
factory manner.

Make every entry that you possibly can, as a few
months' work frequently brings the colt that at the be-
ginning of the year was considered the slowest of the lot
to the very front rank at the time the race is trotted.
In addition to giving your colts every opportunity, you
will be helping the Association, and thereby helping
yourself.

The Practical Horseshoer.

Being a collection of articles on horseshoeing in all its
branches which have appeared from time to time in the
columns of The Blacksmith and Wheelright, including a
chapter on ox shoeing and another on horse physiogno-
my. Compiled and edited by M. T. Bichardson. Pro
fusely illustrated. New York, M. T. Bichardson, pub-
lisher, 1890.

Numerous works on horseshoeing have been publ shed,
but each one from the brain of a single individual and
representing only his experience and theories. The work
before us embraces the varying views of a large number
of horseshoers located in all parts of the United States,
and as such is unique in its conception. Nearly, or quite
every, phase of this intricate subject is treated in some
shape or other. In the introductory portion there are
illustrations of different styles of foreign nails and an
engraving of an Arabian horseshoe. Chapter I, dis-
cusses horseshoeing in a general way. Chapter II. com-
prises a variety of styles of special tools used by horse-
shoers. Chapter III. gives Devices with illustrations for
shoeing ugly horses and mules. There is another chap,
ter on Hot and Cold Fitting; one on Contracted Feet and
how to treat them; another on corns and the best meth-
ods of treatment; another on Interfering and Overreach-
ing; another on Quarter Cracks and Split Hoofs; still
another tells how to shoe knee sprung, fat footed or club
footed horses. There is a chapter on Docking, telling
just how to do it. Another on the use of tips for trot-
ters, winding up with a chapter on horse physiognomy,
and another on ox shoeing. The book in many respects
is the most valuable contribution to the art of horse-
shoeing which has been published up to this time.

Ground for a Race Track.

Oui readers will have noticed in the issue before last,
a long communication from a correspondent who men.
tious a number of places where land may be obtained
within San Francisco County, for the purpose of build-
ing a race track. It is essentially necessary for the wel-
fare of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association, and
for the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tion, that the track should be located in San Francisco.
There are many who are willing to assume that a track
located in Alameda County or in the vicinity of Tiburon
would be accessible for the residents of this city, but it
has already been proven in a great number of iustances
that the race-loving community of the Pacific Coast
Metropolis will not cross the bay, except to witness very
sensational performances. It therefore becomes the duty
of all who are interested in advancing the horse-breeding
interests of this Coast to take early action, so that
land may be secured before the Bay District Track is
finally cut up iiito building lots.

The correspondent alluded to lays particular stress on
the fact that the Ocean House Course is still in
existence, although it has besn deserted as a rac9 track
for many years. We are led to believe that if the mat-
ter is brought properly before the present owners, that

1890

%h& fSfrjejete awd J>yrjortsm»tt*

possession can be obtained of the old track for racing
purposes and at a very moderate rental. It would seem
to the best interests of all concerned, that this matter
should be looked into at one*3; and if the two principal
associations of the State will work hand in hand to-
gether, that the citizens of San Francisco would be
willing to assist them very materially in finishing a first
class course for this city; and it would be the means of
bringing a great deal of money here annually. The
hotels, the livery stable men, merchants, cable-car com-
panies and the better class of saloon keepers would, be-
yond a doubt, be willing to subscribe liberally toward
the fund for the purpose of putting the old track in
proper condition. From the apathy at present shown,
it would seem as though no action would be taken until
the Bay District Track becomes a thing of the past.

It is to be hoped that a committee from both of the
associations may be appointed to act in harmony, to try
to secure at the earliest possible day, a suitable place for
a race track in San Francisco.

San Jose Blood Horse Association.

There will be found in its proper place the advertise-
ment of the "Garden City" Blood Horse Association
Stakes, entries to which will close March 5th. They in-
clude the In'rodnction Stakes for all ages, with $300
added. The Vendome Stake for three year olds has §175
added, the distance being a mile. A. half-mile dash for
two year olds is called The Dubut Stake, and has $150
added. One of the stakes is named after the St. James
Hotel; it is for all ages, oue mile, with $175 in addition.
For the second day there is the Santa Clara Stake. An-
other all aged event is seven furlongs, and has §175
added thereto. The Laurelwood Farm Stake is one mile
and au eighth, for the aged division, and has $200 ad-
ded. The Lamolle House Stake is for three year olds*
one mile, with added money amounting to $175. The
Milpitas Stake will call out the aged horses for a race of
half-mile heata, to which §175 will be added. The third
and last day will be opened with the entries for the Al
Farrow Stake, which has been named after the noted
racer, the stake to be renamed if Al Farrow's time of 1:40
is beaten. This is an owners' handicap. Weights to be
announced the night before the race. The Lick House
Stake follows, for two year olds, the distance being five
furlongs. Still another of the all aged events is the Hob-
son Stake, one mile and a quarter, with $175 added, and
the firm of T. "W. Hobson & Co. will present the winning
jockey with a fine suit of clothes made to order. The
Sprinter Stakes is for short horses, quarter mile and re-
peat. Bead the conditions.

Volume 8, American Trotting: Register.

"We have to acknowledge the receipt of volume S of
Wallace's Trotting Register from the Wallace Trotting
Eegister Co., of 280 Broadway, New York. It is uniform
with the otherB that have preceeded it, and now carries
up the number of registered stallions to 11,422. There
are a number of corrections and alterations, and a large
list of standard mares and non-standard animals. An_
nouncement is also made that volumes 1 and 2 will short-

Our Australian Letter.

Sydney, N. S. Wales, AnBtralia, Jan. 22, '90.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — It will bring joy to the
hearts of the admirers of Sir Modred to hear of the doings of
one of his progeny, Sir William, at our recent big summer
meetings. Sir William is a bay, three-year. old colt by Sir
Modred from Vesper, a symmetrical but not by any means a
large horse. Sir William first showed what be could do at
Rosehill, near Sydney, where in anything but firBt rate trim
he ran Leicnhardt a close race. He then came like a flash at
Handwick, where at the Australian Jockey Club Summer
Meeting on December 26th, he won the opening race, the
Flying Handicap, 6 furlongs, with 7 stone, 2 lbs., and on the
lame day, with 7 stone, 12 lb. He had no difficulty in win-
ning the Australian Jockey Club Handicap of a mile and a
quarter. On the following Saturday at the Tattersall's Club
Annual Race Meeting, also held at Randwick, Sir William
with 8 stone ran second to The Gift, a four-year-old weighted
at 7 stone, 6 lb., but he made up for the disappointment on
the second day by appropriating Tattersall's Club Cap, two
miles, with 6 stone 5 lbs. Sir William is plucky to the back-
bone and great things are expected from him in the near fu-
ture.

The midsummer reunion of the Australian Jockey Club
held at Handwick on December 26tb, proved a most success-
ful meeting, fully 20,000 people putting in an appearance.
For the Flying Handicap the Hon. James White's filly Se-
quel was most fancied and st&rted at 2 to 1, but she was
never in it, and the winner turned up in Sir William, who
won easily from Second Thought. For the December Stakes,
a two-year-old race, Wilga, a filly by the imported Epigram
from Nellie was thought such a good thing that she started at
6 to 4, but the speedy Correze. a colt by Newminster from
Ouida, of whom I have spoken in former letters, was in
great form and beat the favorite by a neck. For the big
eveDt, the Summer Cup, the Hon. James White's tive-year-
old mare, Lava, by the owner's crack sire Chester from Etna,
went out favorite with 7 stone, 6 lb. up and won with ease
from Bonnie Spec, and the Hon. White also secured the
next race, the Nursery Handicap, a five furlongs nutter for
two-year-olds with Prelude, a filly by Martini — Henry from
Philline, who carried 8 stone, 3 lbs., and won in a canter
from GoUen Fleece, a filly owned by Mr. Sam Hordern. Mr.

Hordern is the sportsman who owns Judge Belden and other
tip-top imported American trotting stock. Sir William
brought the meeting to a close by winning the Australian
Jockey Club Handicap.

At Tattersall's Club meeting at Kandwick on New Year's
Day, the principal event was Tattersall's Club Cup, two miles,
for which the Hon. James White's Lava, 8 St., started first
favorite at even money, but Sir Modred's son, Sir William,
with 6 st 5 lbs, landed first in the straight, and staving off a
big run by the favorite, won by sheer pluok. In this race a
horse called Syndey fell, and when he rosn it was seen that
his jockey was hanging by a stirrup, but Sydney, for a won-
der, stood perfectly still until he was extricated. Poor Wil-
kins, the jockey, has since died from the effects of the fall.
This race bIbo proved disastrous to a former captain of one
of the Australian Cricketing Elevens, who "went down" on
Lava to the extent of over a couple of thousand pounds,
which he was unable to meet on setlling-np day.

On January 4th the raoing men of the colony tendered a
complimentary meeting at Randwick to Mr. Andrew Town.
Mr. Town and his father before him have been intimately
connected with racing in the colonies for a lifetime, and the
annual sale of racing, and latterly trottiDg stocK, at the beau-
tiful Hobartville Estate has long proved a red letter day for
colonial sportsmen from all the colonies. However, Andrew
Town has somehow made a mess of his affairs, and it has
been for some time an open seoret that Hobartville has been
his on soff-renca only. Recently the crash came, and the
genial Andrew was tendered the complimentary meeting an-
dsr notice, the result of which was the handing over to Mr.
Town the other day of a substantial check for £1,830.

I am not aware whether Yankee trainers are so great believ-
ers as ours in whiskey as a medium of Dutch courage to weak
hearted animals. About thia time last year a horse called
Southerly Buster bad no less than three bottles of whiskey
poured into him just before starting in a race. It made the
horee tight as a lord, and during the running be got mixed
up with the paling fence, and his jockey was rather badlv
hurt. When the Bnster got up he was staggering all over the
course and started wagging his head with a ludicrous, drunk-
en leer. Australian horBes often have stiff *'nips" given
them, but the Buster is the first horse I have seen properly
drunk and winking at the crowd.

A story is going the rounds of the colonial papers in Conne-
ction with an American trotter which some of your old-time
sports may remember. At a recent meeting at Breakfast
Creek, Queensland, ahorse was entered in the trot under the
modest name of Jack, and his appearance was fully in keep-
ing with his cognomen. His knees showed signs of frequent
application to his prayers, and he looked so haggard and
cast down that a funny man in the crowd admonished the
starter to get them quickly away, before Jack fell down. But
Jack managed to keep his legs until the flag fell and a bit
louger, as he rattled his old bones and the sulky in a long
way ahead of his field. It turned out that the old hatrack
was 30 years old, and was identical with the once fomous
Yankee trotter, Commodore, who had in the States in his
prime hung up a record of 2:26, when he was sold to an Aus-
tralian dealer for 500 guineas. The JoNfiLE."

Will you kindly inform me through the column of "An-
swers to Correspondent" if the mare "Mol'ie McCarthy" bred
by Mr. "Winters ever left any colts in the Eist. I make thin
request because I surmise that certain parties in Illinois are

Los Angeles,

In the issue of February 8th, in answer to the queetiorr,
"Wh-it is the pedigree of Dan M. Murphy, is he of a racinj
family and what relations has he of note?" We said that a;
far as the records show he was not from a racing family, and
that he had no relatives of note. A Lng Angeles genth mas.
suggests the name of Wbeeler T., as being one of note, th«
Chicago horse being by the sire of Dan M. Murphy. Wp h» i
overlooked tbe fact that Wheeler T was by imp Speculator,
but even so, as one swallow does not make a sammer, one
sprinter does not make a racing family.

Reader.

PleaBe inform me whether the horse called Fred Arnold,

owned in San JoBe, and what is his record?

Answer. — Fred Arnold is standard, bnt we will not have
his number until Volume 8 of the American Trotting Regis-
ter is issued. His record is 2:33*. We do not know the ped*
igree of Magio. Later. Vol. 8 haB been received. Fred Ar-

Our Southern California Letter.

The people whoj-lay the winter boofea are just about this
time looking for the winner of the Brooklyn and Suburban
Handicaps. I have not aa yet had a ohanee to study over
the lists. The handicapper has let Kingston down light with
128 pounds in the Brooklyn and he is sure to be the favorite
in the winter books. Who can beat Kingston in that race?
That 18 the question. After a casual glaDee over the lists I
must Bay that I like the following the best: Kaceland 124,
Tenny 123, Hanover 122. Exile 122, Sir Dixon 118, Proctor
Knott 118, Los Angeles 116, Badge 114, Gorgo 110 and Diablo
110. The distance might be a little too far for Badge but he
should be dangerous with only 114 pounds to pack Los
Angeles should be hot property on a muddy track. Sir
Dixon should not he overlooked. He was a greater three-
year-old than Raceland, and I like bis chances very much at
118 pounds. Stick a pin right here. Proctor Knott will be
one, two or three when the numbers go np. "Tbe three-
year-old failure" as he has been contemptuously dubbed is
going to carry some of my money and if tbe first Futurity
winner comes to the ncratch in good condition it will take a
Kingston to beat him for the Brooklyn. Exile is an uncer-
tain horse but it will not be policy to neglect him altogether,
especially if long odds are obtainable. Exile has overthrown
the talent on many a memorable occasion, but I think that
122 pounds is a trine too much for Billy Lakeland's horse.

Riceland is fairly weighted, but I do not think the subur-
ban winner of last year can capture the Brooklyn. Tenny
will hardly be able to pack 123 pounds to the front in such
fast company. If Gorgo can be gotten on an edge, the
daughter of Isonomy should be in the bunt with 1 10 pounds.
There are a couple of three-year-olds in the race that I fan-
cy, oE which more anon. In a nutshell, I like Kingston,
Proctor Knott and Badge the best at tbe present writing.

The Suburban appears to be a more open event than the
Brooklyn. Kingston will have a merry crowd to beat. What
is the matter with Proctor Knott and Prince Royal in that
race? They have both been leniently treated by the handi-
o*pp"r. S-ilvatnr has been given plenty of weight. Last season
Raoeland and Prince Royal who were bsth cr-tck three yeir
olds q( their year, were only asked to carry 120 pounds in
these events as four year elds; yet Salvalor is given 127
pounds. Silvator performed brilliantly aa a t iree-year-oH,
bat before the end of the season it will probably be discov-

ered that he is not ten pounds better than Proctor Knott.
Tea Tray will need watching in this event. Billy Lakeland
knows how to 6t a horse for a race. If Hindoocraft is all
right, and I am not iuolined to believe the reports now in
circulation, he should be hot stuff.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

Charlie Darfee has sold his stallion Raymon to ib. Cole,
of San Bernardino. The consideration was $4,A00. Raymon
is by Simmons, the coming young Bon of George Wilkes. The
dam is Lady Raymond by Carlisle.

Six mares have been sent north from Santa Anita to be
Btinted to Cheviot. Atlanta, Qoeinte, Winona, Ahalo and
Santa Anita Belle. L. J. Rose has also sent three of the
fillies recently purchased from Palo Alto to be bred to the im-
ported Australian stallion,

A stallion who will be seen on the California track this
season is Larco by A. W. Ricnmond. He is sixteen hands
high. Joe Romero told the writer that he has already shown
him a 2:20 gait.

When Bonny McGregor was wintered in Los Angeles he
was bred to several mares. Hancock Johnston is the lucky
possessor of a filly out ol a mare by Del Sur. George Carson,
of Compton, has a stallion colt out of an A. W. Richmond
mare. He is reported to be remarkably well-developed for his
age

The Rosemeade censignment of trotters to be sold in New
York early in March will be shipped on Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon Feb 8th, a number of horsemen as-
sembled at the Agricultural Park to witness Semi Tropic's at-
tempt for a record. Walter Maben was in the sulky and he gave
the mare a record of 2:24. She made the first half in 1:11.
Semi Tropic is by Sultan, dam Lady Mnckay, by Silver
Threads. Dr. K. W. Wise who owdb Semi Tropio, will keep
the mare in training in the expectation of still further re-
duoing his records. The jadges were Waldo Johnston, N.
A. Covarrubias and L. Kickenbaugh. The gentlemen who
held the watohes were Clifton Bell and B B. Woods.

Mr. Kennedy, a well known driver in these parts, has just
recovered from a severe illness. He is the owner of Danger
and other trotters.

B. Benjamin has been appointed Secretary of the Sixth
District Agricultural Association.

Tbe Los Angeles Tribune scooped all the big San Francis-
co dailies in the publication of the weights for the Brooklyn
and Subarbao Handicaps.

Eugene Hahn, sporting reporter of the San Francisco Ex-
aminer, arrived in this city on Sunday.

Clifton Bell, of Denver, is still rusticating in Los Angeles.

The only mare to be bred to Empeior of Norfolk this year
is Orange Leaf. The original plan was to breed fifteen mares
to tbe older brother of El Rio Rey.

Los Angeles never looked better in her life. "Pike" Barnes
gallops her daily.

I do not think that Pike Barnes has the big head as inti-
mated in the last isBue of the Breeder and Sportsman, and
no one else would think bo if they would only drop down to
Santa Anita and watoh Barnes discuss Lucky Baldwin's mut«
ton and beans with the rubbers and exercise boys every day.
He is a very uncommunicative little co^s, however, aDd be-
lieves in the maxim, "Silence is golden."

The Mahoney brothers, the celebrated bookmakers of New
York, have been visiting in Southern California. They
looked in Baldwin's ranch last week.

A match is on the tapis for $1,000 between Gossiper and
Glendine. Dagworth.

Auction Sal*s.

Two very important auction ealep of horses will take plaoa
under the management of Killip& Co., on Marchlst and 6th.
The firBt comprises a superior lot of roadsters and saddle
horses of all gaits, moBt all of which have been bred and
raised by Captain Harris, whose reputation for cultivating
fast roadsters and saddle horseB to a high degree is sufficient
to warrant the public a rare opportunity for supplying their
wantB without tbe risk of disappointment. Among these
horses there are several pairs of fast roadsters and some extra
tine Bingle driving horses. One team Harry Mo and Mite
can trot in 2:30 or better.

The attention of ladies is particularly called to this se-
lection of tine horseB, as Captain Harris has spent mnch time
in preparing them especially for their use. This stock may
be seen at tbe R. R. Stables, corner Turk and Steiner Sta ,
from now until day of sale. Terms, cash or an equivelent in
approved paper.

The aecond sale is that of Mrs. Silas Skinner at Woodside
Farm, Napa County, od Thursday, March 6th. Catalogues
for the same have been distributed broadcast . but those wbu
have not received them, may do bo by applying to Kiliip &
Co,, 22 Montgomery St,

JUANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black

given much more promise than did Almont Patchen
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good Bqnare trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. Tbe owner's only reason for selling him is
that business calls him away from this section of

DESIGNER, 11,157

Son of Director 2:17-

Sire of DIRECT, 2:1S}, as a foor year-old,
(lapping out PALO ALTO in 2:163), and

MARGARETS., 2:19$, as a tliree-year-old,

and GUIDE, 2:28*, as a three-year-old.

DIRECTOR is brother to JAY-EYE-SEE,

2:10, and PHALLAS, 2:13£.

At the State Fair of 1839, he received the Gold Medal
as the best producer of averaged Bpeed in colts of two,
three and lour years of age. He is the only sire with
two performers in the 2 20 list, when his oldest colts
were only four years old; his services are eagerly
sought by breeders, with a tee of ^300.

Designer's dam is May Queen, by Abbotsford,
8:18l-4,8ireof Co de,2:Hi;.;; AbOotsf rd by Woodford's
Mambrino, 2:21^, and brother to Mambrino Dudley,
U:1314,and Paucoast, 2:21 3-4, fire of Patron, 2:14 1-4.
Woodford's Mambrino by Mambrino Chief, sire of
Lady Thorne, 2:18 M, and of the dam of Director, 2:17,
(dam) the dam of Wedgewood 2:13, sire of Favonia,
2:15.

May Queen was never trained. When two years old
was driven over the road three weeks, and trotted to a
cart two miles in six minutes. A few dayB after she
paced a quarter in lo seconds bare-footed; after being
shod she trotted a quarter in 37 seconds.

Second dam byKlmo.full sister in blood to Over-
man, 2;|9 1-4, sister to Alfred «., 2:223^ as a four-year-
old and to the sire of L. C. Lee, 2:1). Unlytwoofher
produce were handled very little, and one trotted as a
three. ye»r-old, with tbrpe weeks' work early in the
sprine, a mile in 2:35, last quarter in 35 seconds: the
other, as a three-y ear-old, trotted a mile in 2:27}£,
quarters in 33 seconds, with seven weeks' work, if
her produce had been given proper training, she
would surely have had three in the 2:30 list.

Third dam by David Hill, sire of Oeo. Treat, 2:25 14,
and Black Swan,2;28j£.

Fourth dam by Geo. Taylor, sire of the dam of Wells
Fargo, 2:18^.

Fmh dam by Williamson's Belmont.

Designer is a rich bay horse, 5 years old, 15% hands
high, weighs 1,050 pounds, evenly balanced and hand-
Bome. disposition the very be*t, has a perfect gait, and
shows every indication of being very fast. He has
never been trained, buc will be given a low record,
barrirg accidents. He is a horse of great substance
and h'gh finish; his family on both sides are produ-
cers of great B"eed. He can not fail to make a great
producer, as his colts all inherit these qualities— the
same disposition and natural trotting action. His
colts are but few, but those who have them are highly
pleased with them, and all returned the mares to him
the following season but two.

Breeders will see by carefully examining his pedi-
gree, that hiB blood lines are invaluable for the pro-
auction of high breedingand great speed. No stallion
now in public service can show a pedi ree with such
last records as enrich the blood of Designer. Consid-
ering his breeding, he is by far tbe cheapest horse in
California. This is a rare opportunity to get the ser-
vice of a good horse for little money, as within a short
period his price will be four times that amount.

Limited to 20 mares, at §50 for tbe season, commenc-
ing Febr-iary loth, ending June l th. Mares can be
returned next Beason if not with foal, provided mares
or horse have not changed hands. Fee due at time
of service, and must be paid before mareB are re-
moved. Pasturage 35 per month. All maresat own-
ers' risk.

Hurrah was Imported by John Keber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long liBt of winners. His sire Newminster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam. Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of tbe Derby 1836. Newminister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1831. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 54 races out of 64 starts, by Dr. Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cnp, 1817— 40-41— 42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that teat.

On the side of the dam Three Cbeera is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat AstBroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of tbe turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newniin-
Bter line in America.

LOCATION.

THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Faso. This place has
been selected for tbe reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of
these mares, and tbe other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mares (especially mares in foal)
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

TERMS.

$60 for the season with the usual return privileges.
Pasturage $5 per month. Mares cared for as owners
may desire at bottom rates for grain and hay. All
Dills payable before the mare is removed.

list last year as a two-.v ear-old, had the owner desired.

It will be observed from an examimtloa of Lyn-

of the GREAT NUTWOOD, who commands a service

He exhibited phenomena] speed when three years old. and had it not been lor a slight Btrutn of his fore fet-
lock, there is little quest 'on tha- he would have shown in public very close to tue beat record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters In from 32 1-2 to :(4 seconds.

Aa a four-vearoid Memo only S'arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out uf eonditlou, he showed

%\tz grejefc awn* gpmteixvm.

March 1

Albert W. is now the premir trottiDg stallion on the cele-
brated Rancho Del Paso, and hia picture as given on the let page
is a fair representation of one of the grandest and beet sods of
Electioneer Albert W.. foaled in 1S78, is a beautiful bard
bay with black points (one hind paBtern white). He has an
almost perfect thoroughbred, intelligent head and neck, with
good sloping shoulders, neat, strong, lengtby back, well
ribbed np with great muscular develoonient behind, having
Tery fine powerful quarters, while he has plenty of bone,
good clean hocks and good feet. He ib oy Electioneer 12o,
dam S'ster (sister to Aurora 2:27) dam of Bonanza 2:29*. by
John Nelson 185, grandam the Lamott mare.

Of Electioneer it is superfluous to speak, for bis is the most
sought after blood in the world. Albert's dam. Sister, is
also the dam of Bonanza, 2:29$— it is an open secret that
Bonanza can trot in 2:24 or 2:25 any time— and she is a sister
to Aurora 2:27. who gained her record in 1S72. and was sap-
posed to be the best mare of her day. Her sale to Governor
Stanford was reported to be for $20,000, she is the dam
of Arol 2:24. m L . iL _ _

John Nelson 1S7 was by imported Trustee out of the Red-
mond mare by Abdallah i, and was the sire of Nerea 2:23£,
Aurora 2-27 Governor Stanford 2:27£, and Nemo 2:30, and
tbe dams of, among others. Albert W, 2:20, Bonanza 2:29.*,
Blanche 2:25*-. and Valensin 2:23.

Although nothing was definitely known of the Lamott
mare (Albert's granddam), she was, from her appearance, a
high bred mare, and has proved herself a grand broodmare
through her daughters— Sister and Aurora. It will be seen
that Albert has a double Abdallah cross, backed up by a
thoroughbred cross through Trustee, one of our best im-
ported sires. „ n

Albert W. was bred by Mr. A. Waldstein, San Francisco,
who purchased bis dam, Sister, from Mr. E. Pond. He was
foaled June 7, 1878, and was not broken to harness until
late in March, 18S0, while he received his first track work
late in the season, consequently he did not have the benefit
of an early education, yet as a race-horse he was a grand
success. As a three-year-old he won three races out of fonr,
and walked over for another. In 1SS2, Albert started out at
Santa Rosa, and thongh he had not fairly recovered from an
attack of "pink-ej'e," he beat Inca, Poscora Hajward and
Blackmore after a hard struggle, Inca taking the first and
third heats in 2:27, 2:27f. Albert W. the second in 2:27, the
fourth was a dead heat with Poscora Hnyward in 2:2S}, and
then Albert took the fifth and sixth in 2:294 and 2.32. His
second appearance was at Petaluma. whete he defeated the
same trio ir» straight heats: 2:27, 2:26} and 2:24*. His third
race was at Oakland, and was a phenomenal r.ce for a foor-
y ear-old against veteran perlormer^; Sweetness took tbe
first two hea's in 2:22, 2:24}, Nellie R. took the third in 2:23£,
Albert the fourth in 2:'2S}, Nellie R the fifth in 2:26i, dis-
tancing Sweetness. Albert then took the nest two heats in
2:25 and 2:26*. Poscora Hayward, the other starter, broke
down badly in the first heat.

Albert met his only defeat in 1382 at Sacramento, Sweet-
ness winning in straight heats, with Albert on her wheel, in
2:24, 2:211 and 2:22£. Albert then went to Stockton, and
trotted the race of his life against Nellie R. and Sweetness.

Nellie R took the first two beats in 2:22|, 2:20; then in the
third heat Albert, after trailing to the balf began to close up,
and with Sweetness breaking at the head of the stretch went
in hot pursuit of Nellie R and collaring her at the draw
gate beat her ont by three lengths in 2:22. The race was
now over as Albert took the fourth heat by three lerjgthB
from Sweetness in 2:22i, and the la=t heat he won in a jog
by sis lengths in 2:24.

Albert in the above race equalled the stallion record of
2:22 made by George Wilkes a few years prior and did it in
the third heat, the fourth being only half a second slower
while the fifth waB in 2:24. Albert wound np the season of
1882 by easily winning a two mile race 5:04£ and 4:51, it
being generally acknowledged that he could have, beaten
the two mile record if necessary.

In 1884. Albert reduced his record to 2:20£ and beat Man-
on at Petiluma, winnine the 1st, 3rd and 5th heats in 2:22],
2:22^ and 2:26. In 18S5 Albert beat Sister at San Francisco,
t tking the 1st, 3rd and 5th heats in 2:23), 2:24 and 2:26. In
1886 he took tbe first heat at Nevada City in 2:20. McCon-
nell (Buster) who drove him when he made his record, 2:20.
and also when he trotted in 2:20i, sajs he could easily have
trotted in 2:15, the day be went in 2:20i, and he several
times drove him ia his work at Oakland in 2:17, while tbe
day he went in 2:20 he was dead lame and only his Bheer
gameness carried him through. Orrin Hickok took
Albert W. next season and only started him once when dead
lame and he wat beateu by Manon. Hickok says of him that
his record of 2:20 is no estimate of his speed and gameness,
and that he worked him a balf in 1:07, and could assuredly
have finished the mile in 2:15. which was an exceptional per-
formance when one considers that at the time Albert was
dead lime, but his courage was such that he never flinched
until he was pulled op. He was then retired and was short-
ly afterwards purchased for Mr. Haggin. His colls are like
the horse, wonderfully docile and intelligent. Only two ot
his get have been trained, tbe twin filly (Aurelia) and Little
Albert; the latter at two years old showed a 2:2S gait, but
never recovered from an attack of cerebro spinal meningintis
and was not worke 1 afterwards. Aurelia showed tremendous
pace and would probibly have trotted in 2:22 had she been
persevered with, as she several times showed a 2:20 gait at
Oakland.

All of Albert W.'s colU since Mr. Haggin purchased him
will be offered for sale in New York on the 10th of March,
and it is confidently expected that their average will be as
good as any of the California sales, for a more even high-
class lot of youngsters are rarely seen, it being remarked by
everyone wno has seen them that they were exceptionally
clean limbed, soand and free from all blemishes, while their
action is of the free, resolute style which characterized their
sire.

Among the Albert youngsters are some treasures, a colt
and a filly out of daughters of Echo and Mabel, sister to
Beautiful Bells, dam of Bell Boy, etc., while there is also a
filly by Albert W out of Mabel (sister to Beautiful Bells).
Another well bred colt ia a chestnut by Albert W out of Rosa
Clay by Sayres' Henry Clay 45 out of Lady WiofUld by Ed-
ward Everett 81, out of a daughter of Rattler, soc of Abdal-
lah.

The big handsome chf stnnt colt by Albert W, dam Hilda,
by Nutwood, grandam Eudora by Volunteer 55, next dam
by Seelys Amerioan Star, out of a Seagull-on (son of Duroc)
mare, Bhould fetch a big price, as he is a splendid trotter
and has grand action, a good deal resembling Nutwood in
style and mase.

Tbe colt by Albert W out of the JoDes mare (dam of Sena-
tor 2:21}) by Winthrop Morrill Bhould also sell well.

Among the other stallions on tbe ranch are Old Echo, who
iB cared for like a prince, as he deserves. Echo 462, record

As will be seen from the pedigree above, Echo is royally
bred. He is a son of Kysdyk's old borse, aod through his dam
he is a grandson of Magnolia, a sun of Seely'b American
Star; the combination of the Star and Hambletonian blood
being invaluable, Echo was a good performer himself, beat-
ing The Moo- and Vaughn a two-mile heat race, and among
the other performance of his dauehter Ecbora, in 1875 when
three years old, she distanced Beautiful Bells and Arabia,
and was the only horse in California to beat Director, which
she did in 1882 at Santa Bo3a, never allowing the black horse
to get a heat.

Among others of Echo's get, Victor is probably as game as
most horses at present on the track, havirjg proved his
staunchness many a time as did Gibraltar, Belle Echo, and
in fact all of his get that have been trained. Echo is also the
Bire of the damB of Direct, 2:18}, and Pink, 2:25.

Algona 11543 was foaled in 1876 at General W. T. Wither's
celebrated Fairlawn Farm in Kentucky. He is by Almont 33,
dam Emma Kincuid by Conscript, grandam Erne Deans by
Mambrioo Chief 11, great grandam by Poweb'a Bertrand.
Almont was the sire of Fanny Witherspoon 2:1 6} and 31 oth-
ers belter than 2:30; also Westmont pacer 2:13f and grandsire
of iunumberable others, AlgoDa is therefore a son of one of
the best stallions in America and has a doable infusion of fhe
invaluable Mambrino Chief blood. Algona is a rich chestnut
of grand style and baild. Addie E, the only one of his
get that has been trained, obtained a record of 2:22J at Cbico.
taking the 1st, 4th, and 5th heats in 2:22£, 2:25 and 2:26$.

Cornelius 11,335 is a handsome bay horse, a Nutwooa all
over, and but for an accident would have had a low mark.
He is one of the handsomest horses in California, and has
a pure square gait, while his breeding of course is excep-
tional. He is by Nutwood 600, 2:1S£, dam Jennie G., by
Echo 462, grandam Jenny Noyes, ?. 40 (dam of Gns 2:26$),
Cornelius' colts are like himself, handsome aod powerful,
with good legs and feet and rapid action.

Western 11,334 is a fnl] brother to Whippleton 1883, sire
of Lilly Stanley 2:17}, Homestake2;16£, etc. He is by Ham-
bletonian Jr. 1882, dam Lady Livingston (dam of Lady Blan-
chard 2:26]) by General Taylor, son of the Morse Horse 6.
grandam the Lou Mills mare.

Hambletonian Jr. is by Hambletonian 725, out of Aschat
by Hambletonian 10, grandam by American Star 14, great
grandam by Abdallah.

Western's breeding is wonderfully good, and Whippleton
has proved that it reproduces itselt, for he added two more
to his list of 2:30 performers lest season, and is now tbe sire
of five in the 2:30 list.

Bob Lee is by Nutwood 600, first dam Blackbird (the Sin-
gletary mare) by Blackbird 4S2, out of a Morgan mare. Bob
Lee is a grand looking, neat, short backed, powerful chestnut
horse and is getting good stock useful as well as handsome.

Del Paso 11,807 is by Algona 11543, dam Nettie by Nut-
wood br s grand dam Sister to Voltaire 6S5 by Tattler 300 out
of YouDg Portia etc.

With such an exceptionally well bred collection of stal-
lions and with an equally high class lot of marts, including
as they do Mabel, sister to Be jutiful Bslls, aod fuui daugh-
ters—two by Echo and two by Algona, the dams of Pasha,
2.27$, Monarch, 2:28V, daughters of Lady Hamilton, the dam

Senator 2:2U. Ligbtfoot dam of El Monte 2:29}, the dam of
Tippie 2:25^"and a host of others. It is no wonder tbat
yearling trotting sales will take place annually m future.

Last Sunday tbe first consignment, consisting of six of Mr.
Haggin's private cars and a load of bay left the ranch for New
York. It was one of the most perfectly equipped trains that
ever left the coast. Mr. John Maekey, the Superintendent,
was in command, while veterinary attention was ensured by
tbe preserve of Dr. Thos. Bowbill, M. R. O. V. 8. The cars
individually were under the charge of puch expert shippers
as Ben Timnione, C. ;Kelly, Doc Buggies, Heury Vaughan,
etc. The cars for tbe yearlings were subdivided into fuur
padded compartments, in each of which five youngsters were
turned loose, while the older animals were loaded in the
usual way.

The loading was done with marvellous celerity and safety,
and about 4 o'clock, after Messrs. Salisbury and Shippee's
four cars had arrived, the train pulled out ia the wake of tbe
Patti Bpecial, and despite a wait of several honrs on the sum-
mit for a refractory freight train, passed safely through the
Bcene of the recent blockade, and Bhould arrive in New York
to-day.

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Sjutber Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San
Le*ndro and eight miles sontheast of Oakland. The stables
are about one mile east of the coanty road, which runs be-
tween Oakland and San Leandro. The place to turn off is at
Stanley Road, where a large sigoboard of the farm is placed.
Guide boards will be found at every cross road. In any or-
dinary weather the roads are very good, and they are fairly
good after the unusnally heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent fr^m San Francisco may be brought over by
Garcia'H Express. No 3 Market street, San Francisco. They
also have an order box on tside of Hawley Btos.' Hardware
house on the corner of Market and Beale streets. The express
leaves San Francipco on the Creek route boat, which starts at
1 :30, but all orders sbonld be in the order box at Market and
Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office, No. 3 Market
street, by 11 o'clock at tbe lalest. In the cate of very youDg
or very valuable horses, the Sonther Farm will send reliable
men to lead or drive over any stock tLat will nor lead behind
a wagon. A small charge will be made io such oases to cover
the extra expense inenrred.

Horses are very easily taken from Oakland to tbe farm,
and where it is inconvenient for owners to bring tbem or
Bend them, the farm will send after anything that is to come.
On horses that stay three months or over then* is no charge
for getting or delivering. Where a horse stays a short time
the actual time and expense only is charged to him.

Horses can be shipped by rail from a'mo3t all parts of the
State to San Leandro. Always notify the Farm several d«ys
before shipping anything, and then men will be on hind to
receive Btock on arrival. The railroad sta'ion is but two miles
from the Southern Farm, aod tbe agent invariably gives
immediate notice of the arrival of any stock consigned to the
above farm, but when word is sent to th=i farm in good sea-
son by letter or telegram, the animals Bent are saved waiting a
couple of honrs in tbe car.

Passenger trains leave San Francesco (from the broad
gauge ferry) and First & Broadway, Oakland at frequent in-
tervals during the day. There are several trains from ban
Jose to San Leandro on both the bro*d and i arrow guage
railroads; the bro=id guage, by way of Nile?, is mucb more
convenient for getting to the farm. There are trnins each
day from Sacramento, Stockton, and Livermore to San Lean-
dro. In ordinary weather it is a short and pleasant drive
from Oakland to the Southern Farm or from San Francisco
to the Farm by way of the Creek ruute ferry boat. Always
notify the Southern Farm ju«t when you will arrive at Sau
Leandro, and some one will meet you at the statioD. If you
do not recognize the farm conveyance ask the stage driver
who will point it out. Gilbert To.mpki.vs

Mauv of the Eistern writers seem to think that Gorge has

The Fresno Turf says that 'Porter Ashe is a clever enter-
tainer, and men prominent in the affairs of the church and
State have at various times enjoyed his generous hospitality
around the festive board and made the welkin ring with a
joyous appreciation of the opportunity,* Good for Porter!
but a little rough on the church. Perhaps our contemporary
intended to say 'men prominent in the affairs of the circuit.'

Two sons of Electioneer, four and five year old, sold at
Brasfield sale for So 600 a peice. The only horse that brought
a higher price ($9,5U0) in th« first three days sale was the
noted stallion Hinder Wilkes 7-year-old (by Red Wilkes,) who
has a record of 2:20^ and has shown much faster time. One
of the Electioneers was o"t of a Benton mare, the other out of

the seller does not ask an eihorbitant price for her, that she
will be sold before this day week.

Last Monday the horsemen of Los Angeles were given a
little treat in tbe shape of a match between Adam, owned by
C. A. Davis, and Kitiy Van, owned by L. J. Ross. The race
was an eighth of a mile in distance, for §25 a side, and the
conditions were that Kitty Van at the outcome should have
more than a length of daylight between her and Adam. Da-
vid Bridgers was chosen as starter, while Ed. Ryan and Cy
Mulkey were the judges. The horsea were given a splendid
start and ran head and head until near the wire, when Kitty
drew slightly ahead, bat could beat Adam by half a length
only, and thus lost the money for her owner as daylight was

I have received a letter from St. Louis, which says:
The Western contingent of the Winters stable passed
through Sunday night on the way to Nashville. Alf Estell is
in charge. In the stable are: B c Rey del Rey, 2 (brother to
Emperor of Norfolk, The Czar, El Rio Rey, etc.), by Norfolk
— Marion; ch c San Jnan, 2, by Norfolk— Ballioette; ch o
Judge Post, 2, by Joe Hooker — Countess Zeika (and there-
fore brother to Dan Jose); ch f Joanna, 2, by Joe Hooker —
Addie O'Neal; ch f Otilia, 2. by Joe Hooker— Alice N ; ch f
Belle Spencer, 2, by Joe Hooker — Lou Speocer; b f Noretta,
3, by Norfolk— Ballinette; ch c fJno Grande, 2, by Joe
Hooker — Je*sse R , and two others — 10 in all. Rey del Rey
has been suffering with symptoms of pneumonia, but is now
convalescing.

My Red Blnff correspondent says that the new track there
is well under way and that when finished it wil! equal any-
thing in the State. This has Ions been needed, for there are
many fine horses in that neighborhood that have not been
worked simply because tbere has been no place to exercise
them. Mr. Johnson who owns ths standard stallion Fern
has booked a large quantity of mares for his hnrse and the
promise of a good season is assured.

Dr. C. W. Aby manager of the Guenoc Stock Farm has
just finished six box stalls 12xl4and a foaling box 20x20 with
two new sbeds 18xb0. As soon as the stallion Reason fairly
opens, which with St Savior and imp Greenback promises to
be extremely large this year, a new mile track will be built,
directly in front of the residential quarters, the porch of tbe
main buiiding taking the place of a grand stand. The
ground is extremely level and but little grading will be nec-
essary.

Some time ago manv of the sporting papers throughout the
country stated that Malcolm the Bire of Marion had perished
m a cellar in Chicago. The real facta of the case are that
Malcolm was purchased in the winter or early spring of 1855
by Mr. A. Hnnkins. proprietor of Snbnrban Stock Farm, in
Northern Indiana and byhimhred to several of his mares He
died the following summer at his place. HiR last days were
spent in peace and p'euty. Two of his get ran at
West Side Park Chicago last year.

Fnnny is'nt it, that if you figure np the eight fastest trot-
ters the world ever saw, three of them are California born
and a fourth one came to his great ppeed in this state, when
trained and driven by one who ha* called California his
bome, lo these many years. New York has produced two,
Kentucky two, end Iowa one. The following is the list,
an* the time by qnarters.

It has been suggested that next year in January ur early in
February, the P. C. T. H. B. A. should hold a grand horse
and colt show at San Francisco and close the exhibition with
an auction sale of such stock as the members may catalogue
for the occasion. There is every reason to believe that it
would prove a financial success and would go far towards
educating the public in this city in regard to the financial
benefits to themselves of encouraging the noble sports of
the trotting turf We believe the Mechanic's Pavilion could
be secured for the purpose, and an eighth-mile track of tan
bark layed therein without injury toihe bnildiog, and to the
advantage of those who would exhibit tbeir colts in harness.
The exhibition and sale would undoubtedly draw large no ru-
bers of visitors from the East, who could there see specimens
from all of our breeding farms without travelling all over the
State. What say you, gentlemen breeders?

On Thursday next, the most important sale of horses and
stock that has taken place in some time, will occur at Wood-
side Farm, Nap* Co The proprietor, Mrs, Silas Skinner, has
very large interests in Oregon which needs her personal at-
tention and therefore every thing at the Napa place will be
sold including the laud. Many of the trotting horses are well
known and for some of them there will be active competition.
Messrs Killip & Co. will manage the sale aud all particulars,
including catalogue! can be obtained from them at 22 Mont-
gomery Street.

The Lawn View Farm have three stallions before the pub-
lic this season, all of which are fine individuals and worthy
of pnblio patronage. Actor is by Prompter, dam E'elka,
bv Sultan; 2nd dim by Fireman, he by Langford. Yonng
Elmo is a son of Elmo 2:27, dam by Woodbnrn, a cross that
is fashionable among the believers in the thoroughbred
theory. DouglaBdale is a registered Clydesdale imported from
Scotland, and is a grand representative of his class. The
owners of Lawn View Farm are yonng and energetic, and
will keep np with the more advanced ideas in breeding.

One of our correspondents pointed out over a year ago
that there were already two circuits in tbis State, and that it
would soon be necessary to hava three. The time seems to
be close at band, as I note that Bakersfield promises to come
into tbe field. A circuit commencing at San Diego and run
ning through Los Angeles, BakerBfield, Fresno, Visalia,
Merced and Stockton; a second one commencing at S*lioa",
thence to Sin Jose, Napa. Petaluma and Oakland, and third
through Chico, Maryville. etc , all meetiDg at Sacramento,
and adjourning thence to the Breeder's meeting at San Fran-
cisco, is not so far in the future as many may suppose.

The life of a breeder is not one entirely of roses; the Pierce
Bros owners of theBrookdale Stock Farm.informs me through
their agent that "An Tricks," bred to Sidney last year, is
not in foal; Mr. Ira Pierce's Poscora Belle, bred to Danger by
Director, has missed, and Robert Bonner's "Lady Bonner"
has slipped a foal to St. Nicholas.

H. S. Hogoboom of Rohnerville. is not far wrong when he
says "I have the best bred Btallion to-day on earth, and
there is no other bred like him. Sir.-d by Director, record

Mr. Valensin, as is known, shipped his Eastern consign-
ment for the Kellogg B*le via the Central Pacific, but on ac-
count of tbe snow blockade it was fonnd necessary to change
the route, so the cars were sent from Sacramento via tbe
Southern Pacific. At last accounts the horses were in good
order and none of them tbe worse for the trip.

There are one bmdred and fifteen entries in the Kentucky
Derby for 1890. Up to February 3.1S9*\ fourteen beve been
declared, namely: Athlete Punster Jr. King Chirlie, Pullman

About a score of the principal horspmpn living in and a-
bout Petaluma have formed what is called tbe "Petalnma
Stockbreeders Clnb." At the first meeling held a fpw davs
Hgo. W. P. Edwards wan elected president: A. L Whitney,
Vice-president; Dr. T. Maeliy, Secretary. Tbe object of the
Association as I understand it. is to have a place of meeting
where all tbe books of au*boritv may be fonnd for the use
of membero, likewise all the principal Jonrna's devoted to
stock bre^diig, and at the same time to provide a place of
resort where breeders mav talk over their common interests
The assoc-'ation is the first of the kind in California and is
deserving of every success.

Apropos of names, the Petalnma breeders and horspmen
have oerfecfed tbeir arrangements to seenre Wellaae's Trot-
ting Register a-d Y<ar Book. Chester, Bruce, etc, be-idee
tbe leading weekly and monthly stock publications through-

There is but one way in which a horse's lungs can be helped
and that is by calling on the skin to do some of their work
or more frequently by taking care that tbe skin does not
leave its own work for the lungs to do. Tbe skin and the
longs should both be at work purifying the same blood, and,
roughly speaking, each usually takes about the same quantity
of waste material out of the blood. Each breath that carries
out its load of carbonic acid gas. waler, and waste material,
while tbe skin is silently carrying offalmost the same, so that
any failure on the part of the one puts more work on the
other. When the long cells are closing, and consequently
dying, ns m consumption, the skin trys to do double duty,
as in the night sweats that mark that disease. When some
of the poren of the skin have been closed, as they are in
what we call a common cold, each breath of the lungs ia
overloaded with the moisture that the skin should havetaben
off.

The Board of Directors of the 17th District Agricultural
Association, composed of the counties of Lake and Mendo-
cino, met pursuant to call at Labeport, Mondav, February
24, 1S90 Directors present: L. G. Simmons, C. W. Aby, M.
ke'atirgand D.Alexander. After effecting a temporary or-
ganization, the following officers were unanimously elected
for the ensuing term: President, L. G. Simmons; Secretary,
A B McCutchen; Treasurer, Marshal Arnold. On motion,
it was decided that the fair of the 12th District be held at
Lakeport, September 23 to 27 inclnsive, on the grounds of
the Lakeport Park Association. Tbe following committees
and officers were appointed: Speed programme, L. G. Sim-
mons, C. W. Aby: Revision premium list, M. Keating. D.
Alexander, J. M- Mannon: superintendent park, C. W. Aby;
superintendent pavilion, D Alexander. It was ordered that
the pavilion be held iD the teDt belonging to the association.
It was resolved that there should be no charge for entries in
the pavilion, but that a fee would be exacted for entries at

the park.

"Can you give me any good reason why Electioneers should
bring high or higher prices, aside of coarse, from the fact
that he is the greatest living speed producer?" wbh asked a
few days ago of a breeder. 'Certainly and several' waa tbe
answer, 'there is only on* Electioneer; be neither has nor
oan have full brothers or sisters; he is twenty two years old;
he has not to date sired to exceed 350 colts, male and female,
living or dead; at least 15 per cent, of them are dead and
gone, or gelded; he has covered a great many mares, but has
never got a large percentage of colts; he covered only 42
msres last yenr; the number of mares covered aod his per-
centage of colts will probably grow less every year; he may
and is liable to i-top producing nt any time even though be
mav live on. For the reasons J have slated, I am of the
opinion that no high priced bnrses are as safe an investment
to-day, as the hods and (laughters of Electioneer.

Geo Wilkes was aimilatlv situated to Electioneer; be had
neither brothers nor sisters; he was a great speed producer
and see how his sires Felt, even at thi- late day, when so
many of the latter bnve proved themselves equal and super-
ior producers to their sire at the same nge. But G-
Wilke3 I believe, has sired at least two and a half colt*
Electioneers one, and by tbe time the latter dies or qr.i
breeding he will scarcely have Bired one to Wilkes' two.

TUEF AND TRACK

Freeman will ride for Dave Pulsifar this season.

Buffalo Girl 2:12*. will be bred to Red Wilkes this seasoD,

It is said that Colonel R. G. Stoner has been offered §80,-
000 for Baron Wilkes 2:16.

Capt. S. S. Brown's Garnet has foaled a brown colt by his
favorite horse Troubadour.

Mr. Baldwin has given Barnes permission to ride at the
New Orleans Spring meeting.

The Auburudale Stables' colt King Hazem is one of the
fastest sprinters seen on the Winter tracks this year.

E. J. Baldwin has gone down to his Santa ADita Banch to
look over his racing prospects for the coming season.

The Walla Walla (Washington Territory) Fair Association
has decided to give a series of trotting and running races in
Jnne.

Capt. E3till has been daly promoted, and is now Col. Alt
Estill; he has fifteen head of the Winters Btable under his
charge at Nashville.

Armstrong, the jockey, was on the 19th of February ruled
off the course at New Orleans for drunkenness and insubor-
dination at the post and at the scales.

The general impression seems to be that Madge L, the "War-
wick-Altitude filly, lost the Early Blossom StakeB through
Taylor attempting to draw the finish fine.

"Wright Bros., Baldwinsville, N. Y. have sold to A. J. Feek
Syracuse. N. Y. the stallion Kite Bird (full brother to Kite-
foot 2:17}), by Landmark 3505, dam Pluck.

Kufus Murphy of Santa Rosa has one colt by Aoteeo al-
ready on the scenes. Mr. Murphy is probably the only Cal-
ifornian who will have an Anteeo foal this season.

George Middleton, of Chicago, owner of Jack 2:15 has pur-
chased from Walter Clark, of Battle Creek.Mich., the grayeeld-
ine Pilot H. (three-vear-old record 2:29i) by Pilot Medium
1597.

At the Woodard sale on the 20lh the five-year-old bay stal-
lion Electrotype by Electioneer, out of Addie (dam of Manou
2:21, Maple— dam of Hattie D. 2:26f— and Woodnut 2.16}),
by Eambletonian Chief, was sold to R. C. Church, Frank-
fort, Ky., for $7,100.

R. B. Milroy says his mare Adeline by Enquirer out of
Analyne is heavy in foal to Mr. Caseatt's Stratford. Adeline
was unfortunately cut down on the track prior to going
East and had to be taken out in slings, and was never really
strong enough to race again.

R. P. Ashe has sent two thoroughbred mares to Col.
Thornton's imported Mariner (Oatcake). They are Minuet
foaled 18S3, by Norfolk out of Neapolitan by War Dance and
Sinfire, foaled 1886, by imported Kyrle Daly out of Cousin
Peggy (dam of Geraldine) by Woodburn.

The Valensin consignment to New York were unfortunate.
They first of ail went to Sacramento, then turned back and
started on the Southern road, only to be Rtopped by a bridge
down. Mike Kelly, in charge of Mr. Ashe's three two year
olds, and Mr. Valensin were both on the train.

Elkhorn by Onward, dam by Long Island Patchen, was
sold for a big figure a few weeks ago, provided his three-
year-old record of 2:28| was accepted by Wallace. As it waB
not accepted, he was put up at the Woodard sale on the 20th,
and sold for $9,250 to W. Dolnan, Delphi, Tud.

Mr. J. K. Newton's imported Fleetwings by Lord of Lynn,
having proved barren to St. Saviour, will be bred to imp
Greenback. Of Mr. Newton's other imported mares, Zara by
Marvellous has a fine Three Cheers colt foaled on Jan. 17th,
while Mary Andeison by The Drummer is in fcal to Cheviot.

Among the many foals already dropped at Rancho del
Paso are a grand filly by Darebin out of that great race mare
Lou Lanier and an exceptionally high class filly by Sir Mod-
red out of Bonnie Kate, the dam of Bonnie Lizzie, etc. Mand
Hampton and Explosion have not yet foaled. Both aro stinted
to Sir Modred.

Susie S., the six-year old mare who. laBt August, lowered
her record to 2:15i, was sold at the late Woodard sale for
$10,000. She is by Hylas 831, dam Lady Byron by Byron
84, and was handled in most of her fast work by Laird, who
left Palo Alto (where he was second trainer) last spring to
drive her again and succeeded admirably, as has been seen by
her low mark.

The Santa Rosa Republican says: "There are snch a num-
ber of horsemen and those interested in good stock in Santa
Rosa and vioinity, and snch a large number of good horses
about here, that it is considered likely the race grounds will be
purchased by them and maintained. Otherwise a county
association will be formed to hold the groundB as originally
intended, for agricultural purposes.*'

An Exchange says that while at the post for the last race
at Clifton, one day last week, Father Bill Daly, who held a
strong band in the race, said to "Willie Lamley, sotto voce,
and winking to Willie as he did so: "Don't go out in front
like that, Willie," looking over at Starter Caldwell as he said
this. Query — "If Willie had not not gone out in front,
how many sound bones would he have had after the race?"

The Hearst Stable this Beason should be a very strong one
including aB it does the older horses.

Gorgo, blk f, 5, by Isonomy — Flirt.

Philander, ch c, 4, bvWildidle— Precious.

Rhono, ch c, 4, by Flcod — imp. Rosetta.

King Thomas, b c. 3, by King Ban— Maud Hampton.

Ballarat, b o, by Sir Modred— Favorita.

Sir Laocelot, b e, 3, by Sir Modred— Faustina

Anaconda, be, 3, by Spendthrift— Maid of Athol.

Gloaming, b f, 3, by Sir Modred— Twilight.

Everglade, blk f. 3. by Iroquois— Agenoria.

Golden Horn, b f, 3, by Spendthrift— Constantinople.

Mis6 Belle, b f, 3, by Prince Charlie— Linnet,
and among the two year olds are some royally bred ones,
the $10,000 fnll sister to Dewdrop, the $5,100 colt bv War-
wick or Ban Fox out of Second Hand the dam of Exile, a
filly by Hyder Ali out of Graciosa and five or six others.

The Ranoho Del Paso consignment {6 car loadB) for Messrs
Easton's trotting sale in New York, left the ranch in beauti-
ful weather on Sunday last on their special train, with Sup-
erintendent John Mackey in oharge. Oo the same train were
also two car loads each of the Pleasanton Stock Farm with
Mr. Salisbury and Andy McDowell in charge, and of the Ship-
pee trotters. The train is to run ahead of the overland all
the way.

By comparison it will be found that the leading American
two-year-olds start in double the) Dumber of raceB that the
best of English two-year olds do. Last season the best colts
of the year, El Rio Bey and St. Carlo were not over taxed. El
Rio starting 7 timea and St- Carlo 6. But what of the others
Gregory started 19 times, Reclare 17, ChiOB 10, Civil Service
4S. Magnate 10. Padishah 13. Onaway 16, Cayuga 15, Bur-
lington 12, Contrast this with the great English two year-
olds of last year. Le Nord started 6 times, Heanme 6, Sig-
uoriDa 9, Snrefoot 4. Riviera 13, Semolioa 15, Golden Gate 5,
Garter 11, Dearest 2.

The thoroughbred yearlings at Raucho Del Paso will be
most assuredly the best lot that have ever been offered at auc-
tion in anv country. Even Kentuckians wiU be astonished at
the maenificent proportions and racy appearance of the colts,
particularly the Sir Modreds, which are out of Buch mares as
Preciosa, Plavthing, Carissima, Marian, etc., while Darebin's
filly out of Altitude, the dam of Madge L., will not go beg-
ging. The two cracks are the chestnut St. Blaise — Maud Hamp-
ton colt, who might have had a better color, but is a race horse
all over, while the brown filly by Falsetto out of Explosion is
one of the best looking of that grand old mare's produce.

The Nashville American of last week says: Last night the
3 year-old stallion Bow Bells, by Electioneer, dam Beautiful
Bells, aDd Moquette, a yearling filly by Wilton out of Alma
Mater the property of tho Hermitage Stud, arrived in this
city on the Southern Pacific stock-car Graamere, over the
Northwestern road from Palo AUo, Senator Stanford'e Cali-
fornia stock farm. Bow Bells had four other traveling com-
panions besides Moquette, two of which are the property of a
Mr. Pearce, of Pennsylvania. The other two will be taken
care of by the Hermitage Stud until the winter has complete-
ly broken. Bow Bells will make a short season in the stud
and will then be trained.

Among our winter visitors none has been more popular
— and deservedly so— than Major DnBois of Denver, his
genial smile aDd pleaBant trotting conversation being quite a
feature at the racy re-unions, which take place among trotting
men every eveoing. The Major will leave some few of his
mares aod colts for a few weeks longer, but the majority of
his stock, including the well known stallions Superior 2:19}
(despite urgent reqnests to stand him here), and Magnet
2:28f, will leave to-day, or early Dext week, for Denver. Next
winter, if the Major returns, as he says he probably will, he
will be a welcome visitor in trotting circles, and the earlier
he comeB the better he will please every one.

No horBe's temperature can be too sanguine or too fibrous,
but it may be too nervous or too lymphatic. What is wan-
ted in every horse is a large and good heart and lungs and
well developed, strong enduring muscles; but a totally differ-
ent degree of nervousness is wanted on the race horse to
what would be tolerated in the dray horse. In the one you
want a horse that will kill himself in two minutes, rather
than be overtaken; in the other one you waDt a horse to con-
tentedly strut about the streets of a city, with a elassy coat, a
great load of beef, and allowing nothing t.> move him from
the even tenor of hiB way. You cannot speak even of either
of these extremes as good or bad. Both are good in their
place.

A. meeting of trainers and jockeys was held at the club
house of the New York Jockey Club, WestcheBter, N. Y.,
February 16. Among the prominent horsemen present
were: J. E. Brewster, D. L. Pulsifer, Walter Rollins, J. J.
Dyer Henry Stu'l, J. J. Hyland, Jacob Piueus, James Lee,
E. V Snedeker, J. B Gray, F. T. Clarke, L. L. Lloyd, W.
P. Ward, Charles O'Leary, J. W. Smith, James Rowe,
Thomas Orgill, Snip Donovan, Jockeys Winchell, Freeman,
and many others. A committee was appoinied, consisting of
Messrs. Pincus, Hyland, Lee and Dyer, who were requested
to call a meetiog of all traioers and jockeys to be held at the
St. James Hotel, New York, Monday, March 3d, at7:30p. m ,
the purpose being to complete a permanent organization of
the Trainers' and Jockeys* Mutual Benefit Association and
elect officers.

J. W. Rogers, the well known trainer of Capt S. S Brown's
Stable was in Pittsburg a fortnight ago. He had j'ist re-
turned from Denver, where he had been for the past two
months, and was in Pittsburg for the purpose of conferring
with Capt. Sam Brown regarding the RpriDg campaign.

"How do yon like the way the handicappers treated you?"
he was asked by a reporter.

"Well, I CftD't complain. Several are a good piece up and
are classed with the good horses. What I mean by a good
horse is Kingston, Firenzi or Troubadour. Senorita is a
fair horse, but we haven't had a good one for several years.
Senorita is never herself in the spring, so the weights given
are a little heavy. Longstreet she gives 4 pounds according
to the allowance. She beat him once on an off day. How-
ever, I gueBs we can't complain. Reporter is well placed in
handicaps, bnt you can't put aDV conb'denre in him. I don't
pnt mnch. He has the speed, but is an ugly brute, with a
poor mouth, who gets mulish after a few pull upa at the
post.

"Buddhist isn't badly placed, but there are a good many
fair horses who can beat him. This will be a great year for
racing, undoubtedly. It looks that way on aU sides/'

Hark Comstock Bays that George Wilkes and his get were
not game horses, and enjoyed the reputation of Dot being
able to go the route until he was crossed with the stout blood
of Mambrino Patchen. Ever since then the Wilkeseskave
all been "bull dogs," even when out of Blue Bull mares, and
without the speed sustaining blood of Mambrino Pa'chen.
Perhaps there is something in a name, after all, and Blue
Bull may have imparted from his what did not exist in the
blood. We must look a little deeper into the mystery of the
breeding problem.

The "World says that C. H. Nelson, of Waterville. was in
Lewiston on the 19th inst., and was interviewed relative to
the recent suspension of himself and his famous stallion
Nelson, from the tracks of the National Trotting Association.
Mr. Nelson expressed the greatest confidence that he would
be reinstated, and expects to trot hia hor&e on the Grand
Circuit next summer. He claims that the National Associa-
tion has no jurisdiction over the case, because the Beacon
track wbb Dot a member of the association at the time of the
Nelson-Alcryon race. He says, however, tnat he is willing to
have them investigate the race, and has do fear of the result.
*'The whole matter," said he, 'is a personal affair between
John Shepherd, a former member of the Board of Review of
the National Association, and myself, and it dates back to
the Bale of Young Rolfe. I sold the horse to him upon the
written agreement that be was to pay me an extra thousand
dollars if Young Rolfe trotted a mile in 2:20. That season
Youug Rolfe made a mile in 2:194, but waB afterwards killed.
Mr. Shepherd denied the agreement until I showed him
hm signature, and he has never paid it. Last year Mr.
Shepherd failed of re-election to the Board of Review, and he
failed again this year; that's the whole troub'e " Mr. Nelson
said further that he should drive his own horses nest Bum-
mer. He will trot Nelson this summer and keep Dictator
Chief in the Btnd. In 1S91 he will keep Nelson in the stud
and trot Dictator Chief, and is confident that the latter will
trot in from 2:16 to 2:14. Mr. Nelson received a day or two
ago a request from a man in France for a catalogue of his
Snnnyside Farm, showing that the great Maine breeding
establishment has more than a national reputation.

The Breeders' Gazette gives a jnst comparison of Sonol
and Axtell in its issue of the 19ih. It says: Axtell, after a [
winter of rest at Terra Haute, has had his shoes put on and '
is being joeged every day by bis groom, who naturally bad-
dies the $105,000 piece of horseflesh very carefully JubI
what will be done in the way of trottiDg Axtell during the ,
coming season is not known. Budd Doble slipped away to ,
New York last week, presumably for the purpose of arrang- '
ing for some trotters whose owners are desirous of having
them in his stable this season, and when he returns it is
understood that the s3Tndicate which owds Axtell will have'
a conference on the subject of the great Btallion's future. It;
is known that certain of those who put up the money for the '
purchase of the colt are of the opinion that he should not be
handled at alt for speed until well toward fall, they holding;
that by placing him in training at an earlier date there is'
nothing to be gained, especially in the case of a young stal-
lion that has made a eea.-on of forty mares. There is no
doubt that Palo Alto and Stamboul will try to lower the stal-
lion record of 2:12 now held by Axtell, and the chances are;
all in favor of their succeeding. As to his finishing the sea-
son with the best four year old record, that will be a difhou't
feat to accomplish, as Sunol will come East with the Palo!
Alto horses, and she will no doubt try to go as good a mile
as possible. She now has a record odo and a half seconds
faster than that of Axtell, and as between a fi'ly and a stallion
that has made a large season in the stud at four years of age
the chances are considered by horsemen lo be in favor of the
filly. The plain truth of the matter is that Snnol has teen
faster than Axtell at all ages thus far. Her 2. IS as a two
year old was far superior to his 2:23 at the same age, and her
2:10| at three years is just as much, proportionately, in ad2
vance of his 2.12, so that according to the records of public
performances she ought to beat him as a four year old. Wil-
liams, who trained and drove Axtell so successfully, has pnt
himself on record as sayiDg that he thought the 2:12 of Axtell
at Terra Haute was as good as the 2:10* of Sunol on a
California track later in the season, but this estimate will
hardly be concurred in by other hor-emen. The chaDcss,
are that Axtell will not do much trotting between now and
next fall unless some special offer is made for him to go a
good mile at one or two of the larger meetings.

The news that Capt. "W. P. Ward has res:gned his position, i
as superintendent of the Westchester race track will occas-
ion no little surprise among that gentleman's acquaintances.
The Sporting World of the ISih says: He sent his resiguathn
some days ago to Mr. J. A. Morris at New Orleans, and yes-
terday reoeived an answer by telegraph stating his resign*-
tion had been accepted and his successor appointed. Capt.
Ward, losing no time, will to-day leave the attractive little
cottage at the entrance to the track od the Williamsbridge'
road.

Superintendant Ward did a lot of hard work od the West
cheBter track last year, aDd was rapidly becomiDg one of the
best known and most popular men there are in his profes-
sion. AH the trainers with whom he has come in contact,
and, in point of fact, every one else, have admired and re-
spected Capt. Ward, he being just one of those kind of lib-
eral aod gentlemanly fellow 8 who are bound to attain popu-
larity. He was a genial host and spared no pains, both iu
entertaining his visitors and furnishing any requisite infor-n
mation in his power.

Although the news is snddeo, the trouble that leads to
this culmination has been brewing for some time, the super-
intendent and the civil engineer of the estate, a Mr. Jackson,
seeming not able to hitch together, and rather than be the
cause of or subject to uDpleasaotness Mr. Ward adopted hi^
course, which resulted as given above.

Od Sunday last he performed his last official public dnty
in formally throwing open the trainers' olub house, just by
the Bradford gate, and afterward, as Mr. Morris* represents- ■
tive, eutertainiog those present at luncheon. A number of
owners, trainers and jockeys were present, when the subject
of a Trainers and Jockeys' Associatioo was discussed and a
determiDation arrived at to hold a meeting at the St. James
Hotel on Ma-ch 7th, when a permanent organization will be
perfected, officers elected and machinery set id motion to at-
tain the desired result.

In the telegram received from Mr. Morris, announcing his
acceptance of Capt. Ward's resignation, he stated that a
Southern gentleman bad teen appointed to the position, and
the litli-f is that he will be a New Orleans resident, a air.
Ez-11. who Li. s been racing horses at the New Orleans meet-
ing, haviDg teen named as the probable successor.'

Mr. Ward has stroog racing inclinations, and has owned
horses. Only a few months ago he disposed of a stable the
better to perform bis duties at Westchester. Be will now
blossom out as a full fledged owner.

Martin Bergen, the crack jockey, has returned from the
Hot Springs, where he was sojourning for his health.

J. Shields and his friends made about the biggeBt winnings
of the season on Little Jim's victory at Clifton last week.

Jimmy Shields' colt Gregory, who beat Eeclare last year, is
wintering well, and, barring accidents, will be one of the
crack three-year-olds this Beason.

Jockey Freeman , it is said, has a good reputation as a rider,
but he seems to be afraid to take the turns sharp enough,
and has lost several raoes lately on account of this.

*'Alfy" Lakeland was very much surprised when his filly
Madge L. was beaten for the Early Blossom Stakes. He
mBdeno secret as to how good his blly was, and, as the say-
ing goes, "he thought he had a mortgage on the raoe."

It is understood that three or four of the leading athletic
clubs of New York have made application for the tenancy of
the athletic grounds and grand stand at the Weslchetter
traok. No application has yet been granted for a perma-
nency.

Mr. A. C. Dietz has sent Longworth 2:19, his well-known
five-year-old Sidney pacer, to his Ferndale ranch in Ventura
County. The trotting breeders in that section will have a
ohance to breed a few mares to the fashionable son of Sidney,
who should — like his sire — get trotters and pacers with equal
facility.

Austria is rapidly falling into line as a trotting country.
The dates claimed for Vienna, for 1890 are as follows; Spring
meeting— May 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, 15 and 18. Summer meeting-
August 10, 13, 15 and 17. Autumn meeting — September 28
and Oct. 2, 5, 9 and 12.

The laws of the State of New JerBey provide a severe pun-
ishment for pool selling, while for bookmaking a nominal
fine can only be imposed. The Monmouth Association might
permit pools to be sold on its track on the same terms as
Guttenberg and Clifton if its officers wished to do so.

A. A. Wethetill. of Salinas, has purchased the standard
bred brood mare Clarissa. She is seven years old. and in
foal to Elector, a sonof Electioneer. Clarissa is by General
McClellan, dam by Geo, M. Patchen Jr., 2d dam by William-
son's Belmont; 3rd dam by McCracken's Black Hawk, 4th
dam Belle of the Lake, a thoroughbred.

Ex-Senator James G. Fair is making extensive preparations
on his ranch near Grafton, Yolo county, for the reception of
his race horses. A track for training and speeding colts has
been laid out and is neating completion. He is about to
erect commodious stables and other necessary buildings. HiB
trotters will be taken up to the ranch as soon as the barn is
finished.

Captain S. S. Brown, after due deliberation, has de'initely
made up his mind to move his thoroughbreds from his farm
at La GraDge, Ky., to hisEistern possession in Pennsylvania.
It is said to be the intention of this gentleman to locate some
of his yearlings at Mobile. He will move the more fit and
promising colts and fillies up to Westchester as two-year-olds
from time to time.

The executois of the estate of the late T. J. Megibben have
decided not to dispose of bis great breeding establishment,
Edgewater, but will continue to carry on the business of
breeding thoroughbreds, under the management of his son,
T. Megibben, who iB a young man thoroughly conversant
with horses. It has not been decided yet whether or Dot the
yearlings of this stud will be sold this spring, as it is highly
probable they will be raced by young Megibben, who inherits
all the love his father had for the turf.

Under Crit Davis' management, the track of the Harrods-
burg Association, over which he trains, is being graded and
every hollow rilled, and the hills which obstructed the view
removed. This has always been one of the slowest tracks in
Kentucky, but the improvements now going on will make it
equally as fast as the best. Great efforts will be made to
have a fine meeting there nest summer, it being tbe intention
to largely increase the value of the purses, which will be so
arranged as to accommodate all classes of trotttrB, from the
three-minute horse down.

The celebrated broodmare Chriatice bears the name of
Mrs. L. P. Tarleton'a dbughter, Miss Christine Hunt Rey-
nolds, who Is now the belle of Franklin County society and
the queen of Kentucky's capital this season. The mare
Christine deserves being named for such a beautiful and
popular young lady, as she has given to the turf such shin-
ing lights as Bonnie Australian, Vice Eegent, Montana Re*
gent, Julia L. and Beth Broeck. TheBe Derformers have won
on the turf forty-four races and $31,095. ~ Christine is owned
by S. E. Larabie, a wealthy banker of Butte City, Mont,

Mr. Haggin's great mare, Firenzi, is treading close upon
the heels of Miss Woodford, the largest winner of any mare
ever on the American turf. Should she win $23,084 this
year, whioh is quite likely, she would then be op with Miss
Woodford, wtuee total winnings were $118,750. She won
forty-five races during her tnrf career, while thus far Firen-
zi has secured thirty-eight victories and won §95,666. Miss
Woodford is also owned by Mr. Haggin, but is unfortunate-
ly not in foal this year.

Lew P. Tarleton, Jr., Fleetwood Stud, iB making arrange-
ments for the importation of a highly bred English stallion
to take the place made vacant by his stallion Whisper. It is
his intention to buy a horse with a good racing record and a
faultless pedigree. If he findB a horse to suit him he will
not stand on price, and it will be his endeavor to secure him
before the spring season is over. There being so many na-
tive bred mares at Fleetwood, Mr. Tarleton thinks it better to
import an English than to buy a good American stallion.

Sam Bryant, of LouiBville, Ky., has purchased of B. J.
Treacy of Lexington, the cheBtnut colt Charley Treacy, three
years old. by imported Prince Charley, dam sister to Joe
Daniels, by imported Australian, she out of Dolly Car;er by
imported Glencoe. Price, $2,500, The purchase of this colt
and two otLer youngsters in Kentucky by Mr. Bryant, Beems
to set at re&t the rumor that he would retire from tbe running
turf, w hich was started by his buying a couple of bllies at the
Brasfield sale.

Mrs. C. R. Noyes, of Boston, one of the best posted ladies
in the world on irotting stock, has lately received two very
handsome photographs of fillies in Maine. One is Greta, by
Dictator Chief (2:21$), dam, Gretchen, the dam of Nelson
(2:114i) and others of note; the other is Crescent, by Dic-
tator Cbief; dam of Drew and Witherell stock. The latter ia
but a three-year-old, yet raised a filly foal by Nelson (2:14£),
the past Summer that is a little trotting wonder. When but
seven and a-half months old, Mrs. Noyes timed this little
miss an eighth of a mile in thirty-Eeven and-a-half seconds,
pulling a jumper. It was the fourth time the filly was ever
harnessed. Mrs. Noyes has two choicely-bred tiUies in Ken-
tacky; one a three-year-old, by Director (2:17); dam, full sis-
ter to Pantalette, the dam of Epaulet (2.19* and Burglar
(2.24i, This filly was booked to the renowned Bell Boy
(2.19^-. Mrs. Noyes thinks of sending ber to California and
mating her with Guy Wilkes (2.15J. She thinks of sending
Greta to Nutwood (2.18£) in 1891. Sometime in the future
all of Mrs. Noyes's trotting stock will be sent to Riverside
Park Farm, Livermore, Me., and will prove a valuable ac-
quisition to the horse stock of the Pine Tree State.

B. C. Holly, Vallejo haj sold to Thomas Lynch, Grand
Rapids, Michigan, tbe bay colt 'Sheeny' foaled 1886 by Ar-
thurton 366 out of Vixen by Nutwood 2:1S£. grand dam Sis-
ter (dam of Albert W 2:20 and Bonanza 2:29A) by John Nel-
son 187. Price $1000. Judgingfrom his breeding and looks,
The Sheeny should prove a bargain to bis purchaser.

Mr. Morris is intending to provide an ambulance and all
necessary medical appliances in case of accidents at West-
chester, in doing which he follows tbe example of all racing
associations who have already provided these very necessary
accommodations, and who therefore have shown Their sym-
pathy with jockeys and other employes who may be injured
during the races or otherwise.

At the election of officers for tbe new Memphis Jockey
Club, President Arnold resigned, and S. R. Montgomery was
unanimously elected in his place. The selection is a very
happy one, for Mr. Montgomery was secretary under his
father's (Colonel Montgomery) regime, and is in every way
well adapted for the office. The secretary. Captain Rees,
should prove an invaluable assistant to the Jockey Club.

At a meeting of tbe directors of Charter Oak Park, held on
February 19th, it was voted to offer $7000 for the spring
meeting to be held the last week in June; also $25,000 for
stakes for the grand circuit meeting the last week in August;
also $10,000 for foals of 1889 to be trotted in 1892.

The latter is the largest purse ever offered by any associa-
tion for youngsters, and it will be trotted at the regular cir-
cuit meeting.

It has been decided to have dash races at Fleetwood for
members' horses on every Saturday afternoon during the sea-
son. The track of tbe Gentleman's Dming Club of New
York will probably be opened earlier this season than usual.
. The members of the Executive Committee visit tbe Morrisa-
nia grounds nearly every day to watch the improvements be-
ing made in stabling and other facilities, as well as to plan
features for the spring and fall meetings.

The case of Nelson, owner of ihe famous stallion Nelson,
' against the Board of Review of the National Trotting Asso-
ciation has been discontinued by order of Judge Corbett,
; Nelson paying the costs. This brings the matter before the
' Board of Review in the same condition as when the congress
convened, and the question now is whether the Alcryon-
Nelson race in Boston was sold or not. The decision will be
awaited with great interest among horsemen.

The Monmouth Park Racing Association has announced
' two new handicaps for its mid-Bummer meeting. They are
1 called the Hackensack and Hollywood handicaps. The first

is a aweep9takes for three-year olds of $50 each, with $1,500
I added money, and $250 to the second and $100 to the third.

The distance is one mile. The Hollywood handicap is a
j sweepstakes for fillies two years old, of three-quarters of a
I mile, with $J,500 added, of which $500 goes to the second.

At 5 o'clock on February 14th, the ten-year-old mare Lou,
by Mambrino Royal, owned by the Ivy Slock Farm at Inde-
pendence, foaled a full sister to Axtell, his only living full
relative, having been sired by William L. The filly is brown,
marked precisely like the dam, and is exceedingly strong and
lively on its pins. Mr. Bamhart, her owner, is grievously
disappointed in the sex. Though Mr. Barnhart is the exclu-
sive owner of the mare Lou, C. W. Williams, former owner of
Axtell, has a half interest in her produce by stipulation. She
will be immediatelv shioped to Lexington and ?gain bred to
William L.

The firBt foal in the vicinity of New York was dropped on
February 14ih at the Brooklyn Jockey Club track, from
Emma B., and sired by Pontiac. The mare and her foal are
the property of Mr. Brush, the popular superintendent of
the track. He was given his choice between Hanover and
Pontiac for a sire when the mare was covered. Specially sig
nificant and picturesque is this foaling when it is remem-
bered that Emma B. herself was an early foal, she having
been dropped by Chickadee to her owner, Mr. L. C. Beh-
maD, early in 1SS5 at Sbeepshead Bay track, only just across
the way. Emma B. is by Sensation.

The walls of the new club house at Westchester are begin-
ning to rise rapidly, and is busily and continuously car-
ries on under the personal superintendence of the architect.
Mr. Rogers, trainer for Capt. S. S. Brown, 1b expected back
for good certainly by Saturday to-day. Capt. S. S. "Brown
made a flying visit to New York last week, but his business
interests compelled his immediate return to Pittsburg. Matt
Byrnes, the trainer for Mr. J, B. Haggin, visited the West-
chester track on Monday in order to choose a site for the
erection of a Btable where a string of horses belonging to Mr.
Haggin will in the future be quartered.

It is probable that Col. Jack Chinn, the well-known running
turfman, will be offered and will accept the position of starter
on the Kentucky trotting circuit this season, which will em-
brace meetings at upwards of a dozen places in the blue-grass
State next summer, as well as on the Cincinnati (O.) and Rush-
ville (Ind .) tracks, which two will probably join the Kentucky
circuit. The old style of allowing the presiding judge to fill
this position, whose only claim to the distinction is that he is
a member of the association over whose track the trots take
place, has become unsatisfactory to patrons of the trotting
turf, and on this acoonnt a professional starter will be called
into service. Col. Chinn has had considerable experience
at the business, and would certainly give satisfaction.

I have often wondered why Three Cheers did not receive
more patronage in the stud. This year he is making the sea-
son at Sacramento and should have some good brood mares
sent to him, for surely breeders cannot afford to neglect to
breed to a grandson of Newminster (whom he greatly resem-
bles), and he id also a grandson of that grand old mare Fash-
ion, who beat Boston in the celebrated four mile heat race.
Three Cheers' breediug is the equal of any in the State, and
what few of his get that have been trained have won races.
Only a fortnight ago Mr. Winters refused $800 for a two-
year old by him. and there are many other promising two year
olds by him. The old horse is as spry and lively as a two
year old, and shows no traces of his age, and should have
maty years before him.

The question drivers and trainers of speedy roadsters are
interested in now is whether the common law or turf law is
pre-eminent on the trotting track. The decision on the ap-
peals of Messrs. Nelson and Noble, the owners of the famous
Btallions Nelson and Alcryon, offers a solution. The Nation-
al Trotting Association has disbarred both these owners for
collusion when their horses met in tbe ten thousand dollar
Balch stallion race last season. Will the law back up the
trotting organization'.'

In all diseases of the respiratory organs the horse refuses
to lie down. This will always distinguish them from diseases
of the digestive organs' In inflammation of the lungs the
horse stands with his forelegs Btifny fixed and sloping out-
wards like the legs of a rough stool. He is unwilling to
move.and though evdiently weak.determiued notjto be down.
He stretches out his head and neck so as to keep his wind-
pipe as straight as possible, and lets the head drop low enough
to put the weight on the strong ligament or cord, called the
pack wax, and relieve the musoles from any exertion in sup.
porting the head. His nostrils open wide and their lining is
a livid red, turning purple as the disease progresses. The
breathing quick but not deep. As the blood cannot get through
the gorged lungs the circulation is impeded, the heart is
struggling on arteries that have no outlet/so that the pulse ia
felt, if felt at alias a mere feeble fruitless vibration. The
ears and legs are very cold.

As there has been much discussion lately as to the best
horse ever on the American turf, an old retired trainer of
Lexington was asked hiB opinion as to the best horse now in
training. Saith he: "I would rather possess El Rio Rey
than any horse on the American tnrf. My reasons are that
his great grandsire, Boston, was the best horse of his day,
and, I think, the best that ever run in this country, Lexing-
ton, bis grandsire, was the phenomenal performer of his day,
and a lecord breaker; while bis sire, Norfolk, retired to the
stud without having once Buffered defeat. I believe in Ihe
theory of like begetting like, and therefore in my opinion,
El Rio Rey will of necessity be a great sire."

Major B. G. Thomas, the veteran breeder and proprietor of
the Dixiaua Stud, had the following to say on the same sub-
ject: "I have long since learned that every foal is simply a
reproduction of some preceding horse or mare in the family
to which it belongs, and my aim is now to use no more
for laising race horses any save those which have no Btains in
their pedigrees, and can trace their lineage through good per-
formers on the turf, back to an Oriental origin." Thus the
Major and the old trainer agree (though the Major could not
be referring to El Rio Rey) that like begets like. Prince
Charlie's success in the stud is a proof of this fact. He was
a high type of the race horse; his sire, Blair Athol, was a
great turf performer, and sold for more money at action than
any horse in the world— 1$62, 500, while bis grandsire, Stock-
well, was not only a great race horse, but so successful in the
stud that his fee was the highest ever known.

The following is a complete list of the horses taken to
Memphis by Tom Kiley, and they constitute one portion
of tbe Chicago Stable this season, the horses of which
are jointly the property of George Hankins, Eagene Leigh
and Tom Kiley. The other members of this stable, which
number about twenty head, will oe taken up in a few days
and will be trained in Lexington by Eugene Leigh:

Little Minch, b h, aged, by Glenelg— Goldstoue.

Terra Cotta, ch h, 6, by Harry O'Fa'lon — Laura B.

Jacobin, br g 6, by Jils Johnson — Agnes.

Wheeler T., br h, 5, by Speculation— Kitty.

Huntress, ch m, 5, by Springbok — Edith.

Santalene, ch g, 5, by St. Martin or Harry OFallon—
Ollena.

Orderly, b g, 5. by Bramble — Tidy.

Fan King, ch g, 4, by King Ernest — Fan Fan.

Chilhowie, b g, 4, by King Ban — Locust Bloom.

Girondes, ch g, 4, by Jils Johnson — Agnes.

Wrestler, ch g, 3, bj Bramble — Guildean.

Ollie Benjamin, b g, 2, by Springbok — Minnie.

Bay colt, 3, by Pizarro — by Australian.

Wimmer, ch c, 3, by Rossifer — Maggie Hunt.

Of these fifteen head all save the Pizarro colt are winners.
The purchase prices of these horses aggregate the ne»t sum
of $62, ISO.

The Breeders' Gazette suys that "the California papers,
with that enthusiasm which is, perhaps, due to the climate,
are already telling what an easy thing the trotters from the
Pacitic Slope are going to have next summer on the Eastern
tracks. (I deny that any California paper has made such an as-
sertion.— Ed.T. «fc T.) About the only Californianthat madea
trip EaBt last year was the three-year-old filly Margaret S.,
she coming across the continent to go to Cleveland in the
fall and win the Spiiit of the Times stake for trotters of her
age, doing the trick in straight heats and with no tronble
(Have you forgotten Sensation, that trotted out Nelson in
2:15 at Buffalo ?— Et>. T. & T.) At the close of the year Margaret
S. had a record of 2:19.f, and now the California papers are
telling what havoc she is going to makd next season in the
Btakes for four year-olds. It is true that in the richest event
of the coming Beason for trotters of her age, the Horseman
stake, which will be worth at least $7,000 to the winner,
Margaret S. seema to have no formidable competitor, now
that Axtell'B lameness has been found to be of such a char-
acter that he will not appear on the turf in 1800, but for all
this she may not have a walkover in that stake. But sup-
posing this to be the case, she will find other good material
in other stakes, atd sb she is certain to come East, it is only
fair to presume that her owner will engage the filly as heavily
as possible. That she will make a creditable showing in
whatever company Bhe starts no one who has seen the
daughter of Diiectur and May Day perform can doubt but
that she will have a walk over next season is not so certain."
On the same page of the Gazette there ia another item evi-
dently written by the same person. It is as follows, and
shows how one can write both hot and cold: "That tbo foal-
ing of a sister to Margaret S. is a matter upon which her
owner is to be congratulated there is no donbt, for Margaret
is about as speedy a miss as one often sees at her age, and
in addition fo this she is as steady as a clock in her races.
During the early part of last season Bhe was fairly outclassed
by Sunol and Lillian Wilkes, both of whom she was obliged
to meet in her early stake engagements. But later Maigaret
showed the metal of which she was made by doing a mile in
2:19}, and as it happens that neither Lillian Wilkes nor Su-
nol are in some of the big stakes for four-year-olds in which
Margaret is engaged, it looks as though sbe would have av.
easy time winning them, as her other moBt dangerous co
petitor, Allertoo, is laid up for the Beason with a bad leg. '

March 1

A Romance of Mexico in 1857.

[Written for the Bbeedeh and Sportsman.]

It was dusk in the old city of Mexico. From the holiday
appearance of the streets, it had evidently been a fete day.
The garb of the caballeros parading the thoroughfares was
bestrewn with silver and tinsel, while the senorilas were
attired in gaudy apparel, of which the gay silt scarfs were a
prominent and fetching feature. The season was well
advanced, the autumn being all but gone, yet the evening
air was langourous and soft, a characteristic of that dreamy
senBUoas clime.

Upon the esplanada merry groups were holding high car-
nival. Shouts of laughter broke the semi-stillness of the
night, while the tinkling of guitars and mandolinatas echoed
throughout the city. In the distance the spire of the cathe-
dral shot heavenward, and through its decorated windows
the wax tapers Bhone dimly. Toward this place of worship
manv persons were making their way, to take cart in the
evening services peculiar to the day. The archbishop him-
self and two padres had just entered the sacristy by a side
door. Inside the edifice the worshipers were kDeeling before
the shrine of that particular saint they had come to invoke.

Meanwhile the moon had risen, and was bathing the hia-
ciendas and hovels in its soft effulgence. A block away from
the cathedral a huge umbrella tree reared its dense top above
the prominade. In its shadow, dense aDd forbidding looking
in the moonlight, stood two meD; one dressed in the wide
trouserB, short coat, Bash and broad-brimmed sombrero of a
Spanish caballero of that date. The other man was older
than the first, and dressed in plainer attire. His face was
c'.ean-shaven, and its peculiar immobility, lit up occasionally
by a pair of keen gray eyes, made him look not unlike a
priest. Although the dusky skin, piercing black eyes and
curling hair of the first, betrayed his nationality at a glance
(to say nothing of his costume) there -was nothing in the
appearance of the second man to betoken his race. He
looked slightly like a Spaniard, yet his garb was American.
He spoke the native dialect fluently, yet his English was
flawless.

The first man was Don IgDacio Murrillo, and the second
was known throughout the city of Mexico as "Doc" Leonard.
The social and 6nancial position of Don Ignacio was assured;
that of "Doc" Leonard was unknown and, to say the least,
problematical!

"Well, said Leonard, and he langhed softly, "the fair
Selita is to marry our foreign friend, eh?"

"Caramba/ not if I can help it, replied Don vehemently.

"But the means, Don; what can you do?" and the first
Speaker regarded the Spaniard quizzically.

"The way, the way, I know not; but we must find it.
He must not wed the Senorita Selita, do you hear, Leo-
nardos; he must not, even though he "

"Well? Even though he "

•'Be put out the way!"

"Don! you rave! To your excited imagination anything
is possible. 'Tis no easy matter to 'remove' men of promi.
nence, even in this land of stilletos and stealth."

"Perdita," exclaimed Don Ignacio, "listen to me. One
year ago the Senorita Selita wag promised to me by the
Senora Mariana, her mother. The Baneres family are poor,
Leonardus, and I was thought a brilliant match for their
daughter, but she never took to me; por Bias! I know not
why! Then came this Americaa, with his white face and
race hordes, and he haB stolen her from me. We met at her
home— this Chester Parker, as he calls himself. We disliked
each o'her from the first. The Senora Mariana told me of
his wealth, his fine family, his horses— by the Virgin, I
could have tweaked her ears, the garrulous crone! The
Senorita Selita was captivated by the white stranger. He
praised her singing, her guitar-playing — everything; he made
compliments for her, and in ninny ways showed his admira-
tion. I am no man to flatter, thus I saw Selita gradually
lost to me. As I appreciated this thing, my blood ran hot.
For d-iys I knew not sleep, and my companions jeered me,
saying: 'See, see, all for the love of Selita Baneres, whoBe
father sells mescal on the alameda!' I thought his preten-
tions to wealth were perhaps like other Americans I have
seen — and whose paper I still hold and always will — thought
hini an adventurer. I set on foot inquiries, only to find his
statements true. Next meeting at her house, I ridiculed his
race-horses; told him none could run with mjr horse Fulano-
He quietly said that his racing was attended to by bis mana-
ger. I could go to him, and could get any sort of wager.
The next day I went. We placed five hundred doblones-
The day afterward I bantered for five hundred more. They
acquiesced. The next, five hundred more, and the next, the
next, and the next, until I have bet all the money I have and
can get. I pressed this thing, thinking Fnlano could surely
win, and I thought to ruin this American, but Caramba! his
puree rnuHt be long. Now, Leonardus. do you understand?
He has not only stolen the Senorita Selita from me, but
should his horse beat Fulano, I am ruined!"

Leonard had been listening attentively, and when Don
had finished his passionate outburst, he gazed abstractedly at
the people entering and leaving the cathedral. Presently he
inquired:

"Don Murrillo, what end would you achieve in putting

this man out of the way? His horse is in his trainer's hands.

he could win as well with his owner, dead or with him a-

.ive, for you know I caught a trial, as I told ynn, and his

oree Isban can beat Fulano with ease. Again, you might

ot better your caose with the Senorita should Parker be

titilled"* She thinks much of him I am told!"

"Ah! Leonardus, you are stupid for once! Should he
disappear, the race would not take place, we would draw
down our money, and my fortune would be saved. With
him out of the way I would have a chance. Now I have
none!"

"When is this race?"

"The day after to-morrow. Every body will be there.
Dios, I could not withstand defeat! '

"Suppose we "fixed the Americans' horse. He could'nt
race at all then, and as your race is pay or play, you would
take all the stake money."

"Bueno, can you do it?" and the Don's eyes glittered ex-
citedly.

'■I think I c.in, I'm sure I can!"

"A thousand pesos for you if you succeed.

'•Very good, Don, I will see you to-morrow. Till then,
"adios", and "Dots" walked jauntily toward the cathedral,
muttering to himself, "guess I'll go in and say a few lines
to my own patron saint, I've neglected him long enough."

Don Ignacio Murrillo stood looking after his late compan-
ion, until his form passed through the arched entrance to
the Cathedral, there, smiling sardonically- he walked swift-
ly the other way.

As his footsteps grew faiDt in the distance, a singular
thing occurred. A boy about fifteen years of age, ragged,
and with a preternatu rally old face, dropped softly to the
ground from somewhere in the umbrella tree! Looking
first one way, then the other, he ejaculated, "my eyes,
them's a pair," they is sure! Nothin' they would'nt do, I
reckon. Goin ter dose Isban? After ther white way his
trainer done me? Well, they never will, er my name aint
Shorty Briggs" and he darted away on a run.
II.

A slight breath of wind passed marmuring through the
feathery crowns of the slender cocoa-palms, two great spears
of light shot up the sky, somewhere a bird sang— the sun
had risen.

Morning came as it always comes in a tropical country— all
at once. It was the day of the much talked of race. The
residents, from the Alcalde to the ladrones, ;had for weeks
gossiped of nothing but the race between the unbeaten Fula-
no, belonging to Don Ignacio Murillo, of the hiacienda Casel-
abanca, and Isban, a stranger to them, owned by the Ameri-
can, Senor Parker. All thought Fulano should win. and
came prepared to wager their all npon him, whether it should
be a few rials or many doblones. *

In a narrow paseo near the outskirts of the city two men
were earnestly talking, one Bpeakirjg excitedly, the other im-
passively. The former looks around furtively and asks:—

"Are you sure, Leonadus, that he get the poison; sure?"

"Why, of course; I know the lay of the feed box. At three
this morning I quietly bored a hole through the stall about
three feet above the box, and pumped in enough with a syr-
inge to finish four horses. The hungry brute, I could hear
him lap it up like a hog does swill. Depend upon it if he is
not dead lie soon will be."

"At least, Leonadus, it will take from him some strength
even should they discover him sick and promptly doctor him
—and a slight falling away and Fulano wins."

"A slight falling away, indeed. Why, man, the horse iB
dead long ago. The dose I gave will kill in ten minnteB. A
slight falling away!" and Leonardus laughed hoarsely.

"But," persisted the Don, uneasily. "I met Senor Parker
—may the Devil grasp his soul— this morning, an, having
realized from some personal holdings, I dared him to bet
more. He promptly accepted. Why should he do so if Lis
horse was dead?"

The other seemed somewhat startled by this intelligence,
and hastily inquired: —

"What time this morning, Don?"

"About 8.30, I presume."

"Oh, he had not been to the track yet this morning. Trust
me, it's all right." And thus they parted.

Let us return to the boy that dropped like a Mazatlan
monkey from the umbrella tree. Without slacking speed he
ran to the race track, fully three-fourths of a mile away.
Upon arriving he headed for the stalls where Chester Park-
er's horses were domiciled. He approached Mr. Campbell,
the trainer, who was watching a Btable boy leading a blanket,
ed horse.

Shorty was out of breath, and as he 3tood before Campbell,
puffing and blowing, his eyes very wide open, he reminded
one of a puppy pulled by an invisible string. The trainer
regarded him with some alarm and inquired: —
"Well, my boy, what ails you?"

" 'Vited me ter eat wid ther boys tother day, didn't you?"
"Yea," responded Campbell; "believe I did."
"I never aoes back on nobody as asks me ter eat," said
Sborty, concisely.

"Well, what's the matter now? Hungry again?"
"Naw," answered the boy, contemptously. "Old woman
np town set me out nice lay— tomaleB, tortillas, goat's milk —
fit for a king, I tells yer, but I've come ter do yer good, I
have. Never forgit the old woman, either."
"How will you do one any good, soDny?"
"Know Spanish teller named Don Murrillo?"
"Yes, I know him."
"Got a race wid him day after to morrow, ain't ye?"

"Yes."

"Kuow fellar named Leonard — everybody calls him Doc?"

"Yes, he was here to-day."

"He's goin' to pizen yer governor's boss what's goia' to

"What!" said Campbell, his abstracted manner taking
flight instantly, "who's going to poison a horse?"

"Leonard, I told yer, him as wears the preacher-clothes
and looks solemn as old Aguerre's Jack."

Without delay the trainer took the boy into one of the box-
stalls, shotting the door, and there Shorty told him all he
had overheard from his perch in the tree.

Even before noon of the day of the race, crowds could be
seen going to the track. By 1 o'clock the grand stand was
full to overflowing, mostly women, the bright cloaks of the
younger generation contrasting startlingly with the sombre
garb of the older ladies. Upon the grounds, each side of the
track, the men held forth. Some standing, some sitting in
wagons and carts, some riding gayly oaparisoned horses up
and down in front of the stand, the chains on their heavy
Bpurs clanking in unison to the horse's movements. At a
distance was an ox harnessed to a primative cart, while the
occupants, an old Mexican and his wife, were each deftly
rolling a cigarette.

Among these men could be seen Campbell, the trainer. He
was taking the bets of all comers. The stake bolder for all
was the Alcalde. For half an hour Campbell had been
steadily covering bets offered him, some large, some small,
all, however, being placed upon Don Mumllo's horse Fulano.
When it appeared that nobody else amorfr the Mexicans had
anymore money — for the true Mexican bets his last cent
upon a horse race — Campbell went to the stables. As he left
the grounds, a carriage drawn by a slashing pair of bays,
drew up near the railing. In it was seated Mr. Parker and
Senorita Selita Baneres. At 2:15, the judges ascended the
steps leading to the Btand. Five minutes later the horses
came out, both looking very fit, and as they cantered by the
stand, the presiding judge advanced and stated the con-
ditions of the race, two miles and repeat.

Imagine the consternation of the Don and his ally, when
when they saw the stall doors thrown open and. Isban
walked out.

"Diablo, ' hissed the Don, turning toward Leonard, while
his hand moved toward Mb hip, "yon play me false!"

"You lie," responded the other comly, "I thought he must
be dead. Don't s-e why he ain't! Must be like a cat!"

An ashy pallor creept over the Spaniard's dusky face, and a
haunted look came into his eyes, as he muttered:

"I am lost"

"Yes," said Doc, flippantly, "our dog's dead."

The first heat showed the American's horse quite the su-
perior of Fnlano. The* Datives were appalled. They had
been wont to think Fnlano the fastest upon earth. They re-
ceived the judge's decision after the first heat in silence.
Only Parker and the lady with him evinced delight.

The second heat saw Fulano finish tweniy lengths away,

"Caramba." said the crowd, "the white man's horse runs
as the eagle flys," and they left the grounds much poorer
than they entered, but saying never a word, for as a race
they are born gamblers and accept the decrees of Dame For-
tune nonchalantly.

Late that night two well-known residents accos'ed each
other near the Cathedral. A Mexican boy approached their
hastily and inquired of one.

"Are you the Senor Quito Kaytan?"

"I am."

"They want yon at Sherber's, near the Post office, Don
Murrillo is dead!"

"What exclaimed both men, simultaneously."

"Don Murrillo killed himself a little while ago. Lost two
much money on the race to-day, Senor Valde says,"

The man addressed as Kaytan hastened down the street,
while the other crossed himself, and softly saying:

"May the Virgin rest his soul," hurried away to spread the
news.

Two days afterward Dod Ignocio Murrillo was hurried
from the Cathedral with much form and pomp, and masses
were Baid for the repose for his soul, for many weeks. Con-
spicuous in the funeral procession was shorty Briggs, dress-
ed in a new suit of clothes. Harvey W. Teck.

THE FARM.

Thoroughbred Game Cocks.

Bow to Breed and Handle tills Hardy strain of Bird*.

The law that "like produces like" is only true if the birds
are of a pure and known blood, and this is the great secret in
breeding. For color we chiefly look to the hen in game, and
the cock for style and symmetry; but the most wonderful
point is the suddenness with which any change of cocks in a
run will change the blood and apparently reverse this rale. I
have proved this by setting the fourth egg after change, hav-
ing put a brown-red to black-ied hen-*, taking away the same
evening the black-red cock. The fourth egg produced a splen-
didly colored brown-red cockerel; and, wonderful to say,
from one hen of pure black-red blood I thus obtained nine
brown-reds and not one black-red Nevertheless, the rnle
will gum rally hold good of depending on the hen for color.
The belfsame hen, two years before, when a pullet, was left
without a mate after the first two eggs were laid, and every
egg of the batch produced a good black-red. This is the mys-
tery how soon the influence of one cock seems destroyed by
the in(rodoction of another in the run; and there is no way
of Droving _this so well as breeding the different colors in
g.me.

As an instance of how birds with any admixture of blood
will retain it and "throw back," even after twenty jears have
passed, I may mention the following: A short, very hard
feathered spangled cock having been pat to a black red hen,
a cockerel of this class, put to the mother, threw Borne of the
finest black reds ever seen in England. A cockerel from this
cross, put to the hens of the first cross, gave a second family,
which were bred backward and forward as required, and
kept the color well for twelve years. At the end of this time
a cockerel and pallets being mated of the same hatch, pro-
duced a few spangles, which were shown and won the first
prize in the Any Variety Class of game at Birmingham. Again
nine years later, by putting together a cockeitl and pullets
from the same hatch, and from the same blood, 1 had a still
greater number of Spangles come out. This retention of the
oross being so remarkaole, I thoaght it worth mentioning,
especially as the difference in color being so great there was
no mistaking it; and it shows how careful we ought to bs
after putting together different colors, to keep it from reap-
pearing when not wanted.

One very mistaken notion is the idea of most breeders as
to the few hens they think ought to be put to a cock. Jnat
keep in mind how many prolific eggs you wi 1 get from a hen
after the cock has been taken away, and consider in th«t
time, even if twenty hens had been running with the cock,
whether during the length of time she would have been in
layiag trim — say while she laid eleveu eggs — the co'.'k would
not have paid attention to each of those twenty, and the eggs
be far more likely to produce strong chickens? I have proof,
and very strong proof, even in heavy brds, for the most suc-
cessful year I ever had in Dorkings I ran seventeen hens
with one cockerel, and never had I such heavy and strong
constituted birds. Feed well and give a good rnn, and I
should not be afraid to run twenty-five hens with one cock,
though he must be a young, healthy bird; but even a two-
year-old I should not fear to mate with eleven hens, and
would expect to be successful.

Game bens, on the whole, are good average layers, and
there are do better mothers for protecting the chickens, i
have seen a game hen with chickens drive eff all sorts of ene-
,mies, from a horse to a rat, and I have seen a game ben
actually kill a rar, a rook, and even a hawk; nothing is so big
or savage but that she will dafenl her brood from it. In
general, I put eleven eggs under each hen. Unless a few
hens hatch off the Bame day, we are obliged to set the coops
far apart, or destruction would be the result. The best time
to get game hatched is from the middle of March to the end
of April. Get them to nice cottage runs as early as possible
after they leave the bens; and, if this is not convenient,
divide pullets and cockerels— it will save many a fight. Dab
as you find walks for them.

A few hints as to rearing will not be out of place to those
who may be about starting. Never put more than eleven
eggs onder a game hen. When hatched be in no hurry to
take them from the nest, for they will want nothing for
twenty four hours, and very little then; aud as you should
feed the first two or three days with e°g custard and a few
dry crumbs of bread mixed with the custard, tbey will re-
quire no water; bo put none near for them to dabble in. In
a day or two take the hen away from where she has hatched
to a dry shed facing the soutb. or a dry bank sheltered from
north and east winds, and coop them on the ground. If too
wet put some dry ashes under the coop, soft and free from
lamps, and by no means put them, on boards, for by this
we get crooked toes; and rough cinders or gravel sometimes
indent the small gristle of the breast, and if it get3 the least
askew while with the hen, it soon goes worse and worse.
Some breeders say they have had them come straight, bat
this is doabtfnl. Let your coop remain four or rive days at
drst, by merely drawing the hen's droppings out. When
you do shift, do so at midday, and if damp or wet put more
dry ashes or dry earth at night. You will find fussing auout
[his dry lodging pay for the trouble, by seeing your chickens
wme out quite frisky in the morning, and it conduces great-
y to health. Coop the hens for six or seven weeks with
ihe chicks, feeding principally on egg custard, coarse oat-
meal and bruised wheat until about rive weeks old, when
;ive well soaked whole wheat a few times daily, weaning
hem off to the common food by degrees. It is very useful,
f there is no old hedge or low trees near by where your
loops are placed, to drive four stakes in the grnun > standing
ibout a foot high and place a hurdle on thera, then lay a
ew loose boughs on it This serves as a playground m a
,!old morning, as they soon commence to fly np and down
ifter one another; then again before the earth gets warm for
heir feef, they will cluster on the top of it when the sun
:omes out and preen themselves. It makes a nice break be-
ween the coops, and is a protection as well, for if there
■hould beany lartje bird on the wing they are under in a
□oment. Do not let tbem roost until about three months
ild if you can help it, so that yon have plenty of soft clean
tuff lo let them sleep on. They keep warmer in a heap and
, trow stronger, and it establishes a stronger constitution.
; Jse Bulphats of iron in water and your fowl will never have
1 he gapes or roup. The egg custard is made as follows:
5eat three eggs up in half a pint of new milk, put in a sanee-
, >*n, and siir over a fire nutil it becomes a thick curd; then
>reBS the whey oat by squeezing in a cloth. Give this ens-
ard every morning, and as they get older mix oatmeal and
;round rice, which forms a very nutritious food, and they
pill grow and thrive on it wonderfully. The great effect of
iOBtard thna fed, to the chickens getting the rich and strength-

ening diet the first thiDg every morning, is, it is digested
quicker than any other. If sulphate of iron is in the water,
it is not requisite to change it so often as it would be if pure
water.

Raising Calves.

At a recent meeting of the Elmira Farmers' Club, Presi-
ident McCann said he wanted to know how to raise a good
calf without milk. In response, John Bridgman said: "I
have raised calves on hay tea with a very little milk and a
handful of wheat middlings or ground oats nrxed with it.
It will keep tbem growing, and make them strong, but not
fleshy. I have also fed a porridge made of buckwheat Hour.
I think they need milk until a week or more old." G. "W.
Hoffman said *'I would b ed calves dry meal. I never bad
any trouble to get them to eat it. 1 would feed them milk
for two weeks, and three is better; either skimmed or but-
termilk is as good to raise calves on asjnew milk." D. Shap-
pee said: "To raise calves I would feed them new milk un-
til three or four weeks old, and if I was selling my milk I
would go to the creamery and get skimmed or buttermilk to
feed them, with corn meal mixed with it. I would prefer
buttermilk to skimmed milk."

Dehorning- in England.

At a farmers' meeting not long ago in England the subject
of dehorning cattle was considered. The majority of speak-
ers were in favor of dehorning up to a certain point. One
gentleman argue i that the operation caused little or no pain,
at least far less than castration. The same gentleman con-
sidered that with regard to older cattle, where the horn had
grown large, balf-horning was quite sufficient. At the con-
casion the following resolution was carried by a unanimous
vote: *'Tbat this meeting expresses its opinion strongly that
young cattle should be dehorned close to the head, and ol ler
cattle not so near the head, in proportion to their age."

Feeding Horses.

An Eng'ish veterinary surgeon recommends that those who
have chargeof horses, especially farm horseB.should be taught
that the stumach of a horse is not like the rnmen of a cow,
a mere receptable for food, but an e&sential organ of diaestionof
limited capacity, which does not need to be crammed in or-
der to perform its proper functions, and that it cannot be so
treated without danger to the animal; that the teeth of the
horse are provided for the purpose of masticating the food,
and that the food which does not required mastication should
be sparingly, if ever used. He further recommends that no
horse be put to work immediately after a fall meal, and where
a horse has done a heavy day's work it should be allowed to
stand in the stable nntil it is cool and comfortable before be-
ing fed. A little water may be given and if a little good hay be
pat into tbe rack it will occupy his attention, and besides re-
quiring proper mastication will further have thp effect to
slightly stimulate the stomach to secretion and prepare it for
the reception of the feed which is to follow. Should a horse
require more food than usual to supply the extra waste of
tissues caused by hard work, give it by all means, bat let it
be excess in its albuminoids, and let the horee be fed oftener
and not in increased quantities at a time.

New Mexico Sheep History.

Col. T. B. Mil's, of Las Vegas furnishes the following in-
teresting article in the Stock Grower.

Sheep were brought into the territory from the Southern
Mexican States in the early settlement, aud after the Indian
rebellion in 16S0, and the resettlement of the country sheep-
raising became the leading industry. The breed which was pro-
bably originally merino from Spain, degenerated by inatten-
tion to a very inferior class as respects wool, making a good
mutton, however. Previous to the annexation to the United
States large herds were annually driven to the southern mar-
ket from this territory, principally for mutton meat. The
wool was of but little vatae and was almost solely used in the
territory for the manufacture by the people of blankets,
coarse cloth, and bed mattresses. Knives were used in
shearing, and tbe first sheep shears were brought into the
territory and used in 1S54, by John L. Taylor, a native of
TJrbana County, Ohio. The first blooded merino sheep were
brought in, driven across the plains in 1S59, by George Gid-
dingsfrom Kentucky.

Sheep raising has been a prominent industry since the an-
nexation, and the drives to the surrounding States and terri-
tories have been large and numerous.

"Drives into California began about the year 1S52. 40,000
(some Bold as high as S16 per head); sheep driven from New
Mexico into California in 1S53, 135,000 (sold from S9 to $12
per head); Colonel Chaves himself drove in 1S54 (the total
drives that year) 27.000; total sheep drive in 1855, 19,000;
total sheep drive in 1856 200.000; total sheep drive in 1857,
130.000. (Sheep brought about S3 37 per head iu the.se last
years.) In 1S5S and 1859 Indians troublesome, small num-
ber driven; in 1860 business ceased; total number of Bheep
driven from New Mexico into California from 1852 to I860,
inclusive. 551.000."

From Colonel Stoneroad and Colonel Chaves, both of New
Mexico we have tbe following records of sheep driven from
California to New Mexico in more recent years:

In 1876 Colonel Stoneroad took from Merced county, Cali-
fornia, to Puerto de Lnna, New Mexico, 10,000. His route
was up San Joaquin Valley to Bak-rstield and along tbe rail-
road to Tebiebupa Pas?, in Sierra Nevada; thence to Cotton-
wood on the Mojave river, where the desert begins; thence
down stream to a point much below sea-level. Here comes
the real desert trail from the ''Sinks" to Union Pass through
the Blue Kidge Mountains of Arizona, about 150 miles, with
very little water. The whole distance, about 1600 miles,
consumed seven months and a half. 0:hers (Pinktrton, Car-
penter and Cosner Bros., who were robbed and murdered)
drove 16.500.

In 1S77, bv same route, Stoneroad, Hugo, Zaber. Captain
Clancy, McKeller. Kobios^n and Curtis took 12.500; other
flocks* say 5,000 in 187S. Booth and Clancy look 4,000.

AU the above were giade merinos, such being very scarce
in New Mexico. Tbey cost $2 per head in California, and
were worth in New Mexico S3 50.

It is estimated by men conversant with the subject that
from 1S76 to 1878 there were annnally driven out of New
Mexico to Wyoming, Kansas and Nebraska 350,000 head of
sheep. This aunual drive rather increased in number than
otherwise until 1883 to 1885, when the number reached nearly
1,000,000 head per annum, driven principally to Texae. At
that time cattle were considered the beBt investment aud
sheep raisers disposed of their herds in order to go into the
cattle business. The average price realized for the sheep,
which were all Mexican, was ?1 50 per head.

Ram Fighting in Ceylon.

The natives of Ceylon, besides taking delight in cock fight-
ing, are given to ram fighting as well, the rams, it is said
being specially imported bv ihe Mohammedan settlers from
the Indian coast. A law recently parsed with regard to bet-
ting and lawful amusements appears' to make no provision
against that form of amusement, the Government being con-
tent to rely upon the general law against cruelty to animals.
Ram fighting will, apparently, therefore, be law'tol or unlaw-
ful m Ceylon accordug to oircumstances. If the owners of
combatant rams bet upon the battle, it will be a contraven-
tion of the gaming act; if they do not bet, but if they allow
their rams to tight with sufficient energv to hurt themselves,
then tbe law of cruelty comes in. If they neither bet nor
allow the animals to hurt themselves, they are held to be
honest sportsmen, against whom no one could complain, and
the fight is supposed to be to the edification of all men'.

Animal Food for Great Britain.

The complete statistics of British imports for the year 1889
have just been issued, and contain some figures in which
Americans are highly interested. Great Britain imported in
that year no less than 555.221 live cattle against 377,086 in
the preceding year, and almost doubling the imports of two
years ago. The total of sheep imported was 678,058, that of
the preceding year being 956,210. This is the only point in
which tbe imports show a decline. In swine and horses
there whs a very slight increase, and in fresh beef the total
of 657,574 cwt. in 1887 was increased to 1.379,511 cwt. in
18S9. These figures are highly significant to the countries
which furnish Great Britain with its food supplies. Of tbe
great increase in cattle the United States furnished the bulk,
our exports of cattle last year being 294,423 head, againBt
143,495 head in 1SS8, and 94,858 head in 1887, the trade of
the latter year having been about trebled in 1889. Of the
fresh beef which Great Britain imports the United States
furnishes about nine-tenths. If as many sagacious observers
think oar exportation of animal foods should show an in-
crease io 1S90, the tot*l to report a year hence will be large
indeed.— National Stockman.

Shorthorn Sales in England.

Our English exchanges give us some very interesting com-
parisons of the Shorthorn sales of the last year with those of
previous years, as follows:

In 1889, there were forty sales at which S.0S5 head were
sold, at an average price of $167 per head. In 1888. the num-
ber of sales was thirty-nine, number of cattle sold 1594, aver-
age price S132. In 1S87, 1353 cattle were sold at thirty-seven
sales, at an average price of $131 50. In 1SS6 the average
price was $176.

Shorthorn breeders in England certainly have no right to
complain. They are not only realizing good prices, but the
price is slowly advancing nntil it has almost reached the
average of 1885. There can be no advance in Shorthorns or
other improved cattle in America until beef cattle advance
as tbey have done in England, nor can there be such a wide
disparity between the prices in the two counties very long
after congress metes out the proper punishment to the beef
combine. It is not possible to name another article of com-
merce in which there is not a proper correspondence in
prices between the old world and the new. — Homestead.

Lump Jaw in Cattle.

The following resolutions were passed by the Central Illi-
nois Farmers' Institute:

Whereas, The Live-Stock Commissioners of Illinois have
assumed the authority to oondemnaud destroy good, healthy,
fat steers at tbe nnion stock yards when only affected with
small lumps on their jaws under tbe pretense of preventing
the spread of contagious disease, and

Whereas, We are informed by the address of Prof. D. Mc-
intosh, veterinary surgeon of the Illinois university, deliv-
ered before this institute, that the disease called "lump law"
in cattle is not contagious, aud that the flesh of such cattle is
not unwholesome for food bo long as the animal is in a thriv-
ing condition, and fat and well, and

Whereas, Years of experience with cattle convinces us that
his conclusions are correct.

Besolved, That we consider the action of the Live-Stock
Commission in condemning such cattle and consigning them
to the rendering tanks, a high-handed outr.ige, resulting in
the rohbery of farmers and producers, and enricbing the
Union Bendering Company of Chicago, and we respectfully
request the governor of Illinois to make prompt investigation
into the matter, and to take steps to stop this unjust and
arbitrary exercise of power by the Live-Stock Commissi oners.

Contagious Diseases Act.

The Breeders' Gazette says: We have shown that public
sentiment in Great Britain is ripe for the pressing of this
question upon the Imperial authorities, and the very latest
English mail brings tbe subjoined report of a recent public
expression upon this so bject from Mr. Moreton Frewen — than
whom no man is more familiar with tbe cattle trade of both
Great Britain and America:

There was one point, he said, of which be had made a close
study, and it was worth while to consider whether the legis-
lation which was responsible for the present application of
tbe Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act was entirely warranted
by the circumstances of the time. The result of the rigid
exclusion of lean stock from America had been to drive this
countrv more aud more into the dead and fat cattle meat
trade. As long as the Contagions Diseases (Animals) Act
precluded the importation of store cattle from the Dnited
States to this country, he did not think the conditions of
agriculture would be quite healthy. The result of the en-
forcement of that act bad been to prohibit English farmers
from buying their store cattle in the one cheap market of
ihe world. He was aware there was a breeders' t-Me of tbe
question. He bad no cattle interests to preserve in America,
bnt be was convinced that Ireland could carry one-third
more cattle than she had now, and tbe only chance of her
increasing her stock was to buy heifer stock from across the
Atlantic and bring it in alive. On this side of the Atlantic
there were advantages for fatteniug cattle which no other
country enjoyed. If tbe cattle trade of which he was speak-
ing was not subjected to the existing restrictions, and if the
English farmers hid their agents at Chioago who would for-
ward 4,000 or 5,000 head of lean cattle a day, quite a new
phase would he put on the agriculture of this country. As
to the "bogey" of disease, he pointed nut that in dealing with
America there were conditions of security which were offerei
nowhere else. Five or six years ago there was pleuro-pueu-
monia, but there bad nev**r been a single outbreak of foot-
and-mouth disease in the Cnited Slates.

On motion, Mr. James L. Anthony was appointed chair-
man in the absence of the President and vice-President.

The minutes of the last annual meeting were read and
approved.

The reading of tbe Treasurer's report was dispensed witb,
owing to its publication in the Gazette.

The report of the Stud-book Committee was then read and
adopted, and is as follows:
To the American Kennel Club:

Gentlemen:— Tour committee begs to report that during
the year 1889, it acted upon tne most important matter*
referred to it by the American Kennel Club, and reported its
action at the regular meetings of the Executive Committee of
said club, and by them approved. Several unimportant
matters are still in abeyance, and your committee in such
caseB reports proeress. The Stud-book received during the
year 4,217 voluntary registrations mide up from the following
sources:

Cash entries 3,9*7

Lbsb, returned as not eligible. 35

3 912
297

Associate entries

A. K. K. entries (nnder the rule) 8

Total 4,217

The rule allowing A. K. R. entries to be accepted (without
charge) upon application of owners, was rescinded by the
Advisory Committee April 15, 1889, and paid action was rati-
fied by the American Kennel Club May 23, 1889. Tb« copy
for Vol. Vi. of the Stud-book was delivered to the printers
Febrnury 1st, and the book will be ready for sale and distri-
bution the first part of March next. The delay in publish-
ing Vol. VI was caused by the great number of entries re-
ceived during the month of December, amounting to 1,153,
examination and compilation of which, together with the
other business of the office, consumed the entire month of
January, notwithstanding the employment of additional
clerical force. The composition, proof-reading, examination
by the Committee of the Specialty Clabs. and finally the
binding of the volumes, will consume from four to six weeks,
and as early in March as possible the Secretary will forward
the book to each associate and subscriber,
Respectfully submitted,

Thos. H. Tekby 1 .-,

A. D. Lewis, } Committee.

The following are the Articles and Sections of the Consti-
tution to be amended, and notice of the proposed changes is
hereby given:

article IV.

tary of the American KeDnelClub. by not less than two mem-
bers of any club, a member ot this association, or by two
associate members, shall, upon payment of five dollars
annual does and the endorsement of his application by the
President of the American Kennel Club or of the associate
members, become an associate member and be announced as
such in the next issue of the Kennel Gazette.

Sec. 2. An associate member shall be entitled to the Ken-
nel Gazette and Stud Book, and to two free registrations in
the Stnd Book during the ourrent year, for which his dues

Sec. 3. The annual dues of five dollars shall be paid on
the 1-t of January of each year to the Secretary of the Amer-
ican Kennel Club, and any person whose dues are not paid

associate members his name may be stricken from the roll,
provided, however, that upon remitting the five dollars dues
with an application for membership he shall be reinstated
upon the endorsement of his application by the Presidents as
hereinbefore provided.

Mr. Watson — I move that the American Kennel Club con-
sider the recommendations of the associate members made
in the report.

Seconded and carried.

The recommendations contained in said report were then
taken up, read, and severally adopted.

The Article IV with proposed amendments was then read,
and on motion the Secretary was instructed to pub ish them
for thirty days in tbe ordinary form, to be acted upon at the
next regolar meeting of the American Kennel Club.

In answer to questions by air. Jas. Watson, Treasurer
Vredenbnrgh specifically explained the financial statement of
the club as it appeared in the Kennel Gazette, and clearly
showed that the accounts were in proper form, and the club
in a most satisfactory condition.

The Chairman stated that the Advisory Committee
had instructed the Secretary to show the books to any pur-
Ron properly authorized to see them, or. in other words, any
delegate, it not being necessary for a club even to instruct
their delegates, but he wanted it distinctly understood that
the books were not open for investigation by the general
public, or those who have no personal interest in the affairs
of the clnb.

The election of officers now being in order Mr. Watson
nominated Mr. August Belmont, Jr., for President. Mr.
Leslie nominated Mr. Thomas H. Terry for Vice President.
On motion the Secretary was instructed to castfa ballut for
Messrs. Belmont and Terry, as President and Vice president
respectively.

The Secretary proceeded to cast such a ballot, and Messrs.
Belmont and Terry were elected to the offices named.

Mr. Leslie— I move that we now proceed to ballot for
members of the Advisory Committee.

The Chair appointed Messrs. Wilmerding and Lewis as
tellers, to receive and count the voteB for the membeis of the
Advisory Committee, who later announced such vole to be
as follows: Total number of votes cast seventeen. For Mr.
John S. Wise, 9; for Mr. J. L. Anthony, 7; and lor James
Watson, 1.

On motion of Mr. Watson the election of Messrs. Wise
and Anthony was made unanimons.

Mr. Pay nominated Messrs. Thomas H. Terry, A. D.
Lewis, and James Watson, as Stud Book Committee.

On motion the Secretary was instructed to cast a ballot
for tbe thiee gentlemen named as such Stud Book Com-
mittee.

The Secretary cast the vote, and they were declared elect-
ed. Adjourned. A, P. Vreden burgh, Secretary.

The Secretary read his report as fallows:

To the Delegates ot the American Kennel Club— gentlemen,
since my last report, I have received application In proper
form, from tbe Duquesne Keonel Cub of Pittsburgh. Pa ;
the Buffalo Kennel Clnb of Buffalo, N. Y., and the Kansas
City Kennel Club, of Kansas City, Mo. These applicants are
eligible to membership, and their admission is respectfully
recommended.

The apolication of the California Kennel Clnb, which has
been laid over since the September meeting, cannot yet be
acted upon, as no official notice haB yet been received of the
expected amalgamation of that Club and tbe Pacific Kennel
Club. The latest commnnicaton on the subject was written
December 2Gtb, 1889, and signed by Mr. J. B Martin, Com-
mittee of the California Clnb, in which be advises ibis Club
that he will inform it immediately when the matter is taken
up

I have a communication from Mr. J. Otis Fellows, request-
ing that tbe awards made at the Elmira show, held in Sep-
tember 18S9, be officially recagnized by this club, that the
entries were made with the understanding that the wins
would count, and he respectfully asks for your favorable
action. In this connection 1 would say that the Elmira
Bhow was held September 17, IS, 19 and 20, 18S9, and it is
Btated in its catalogue that the judging will commence
promptly at ten o'clock on the morning of the 17th. The
club was elected to active membership in the American
Kennel Club, September 19th, 1889, two days after the awards
were made, and, while it haB been stated in some of the
weekly journals that the Elnrrfl awards should have been
published in the list of "recognized shows, " I beg to submit
that I had no authority so to do, and would qnote from my
report read at the September meeting as follows:

'•Your Secretary begs to c ill Jyour attention to the fact
that some of the clubs whese applications for membership are
"now before you, have held shows sinoe riling such appli-
cations, and, if said clubs are admitted, he would respect-
"folly recommend that some action should be taken at this
meeting as to whether this Association will, or will not re-
"cognize the awards made at such shows." There was no
action taken on my request, and the wins at Elmira have
not been recognized by the American Kennel Club.

At the meeting of tbe Advisory Committee of this Clnb,
held September 19, 1889, it ordered the suspension of the
Albany Kennel Clnb for the non-payment of its prizes at its
show held March 6, 7 and 8, 1889, and parsed a resolution
that if said prizes were not paid within thirty days, that the
penalty nnder Kale 28 should be enforced. The thirty days
expired on the 19th day of December, 1889, and as no official
notification of the payment of arrears of prizes has ever
reached this office, president Belmont, Jr., suspended all
the officers of said club under Role 28, referring to the ap-
plication of Rule 25. I only mailed notices to that eflvct to
Doctor W, C. Hudson, President; Geo. B. Gallup,
Seoretary; and General Amasa J. Parker, Jr., and Robert C.
Prayn, members of the Bench Show Committee. This mat-
ter is now before you, and in accordance with the rules, "the
"Executive Committee of the American Kennel Club must in
every case of suspension, at their first meeting thereafter,
either remove the same, or impose a penalty of disqualifica-
tion for such period as they may decide upon."

At our last meeting Mr. Lorenzo Daniels preferred charges
against Mr. Wm. Graham of Belfast, Ireland, but the same
were ordered laid upon the table, on the ground that Daniels
had not obeyed the orders of this club, and coult not have
his case onsideied until he had onmolied with the decision ot
the club rendered in July 1S80. Under date of January 15th
1889, Mr. Daniels enclosed to your secretary a check, drawn
to the order of the American Kennel Clnb for $50.10, being
the amount awarded by the Advisory Committee, to Mr. Gra-
ham, and requested that his charges against said Graham be
taken up by this this club, and acted up~m Your secretary
promptly referred this matter to Pres. Belmont Jr., for in-
structions, and under date of January 20, 1890, he forwarded me
the following communica'ion; "I b^g herewith to notify you
that in view of the payment to you by Mr. Lorenzo Daniels
oof $50 10 being amount due Mr. Graham under tbe deci-
sion of the American Kennel Club of Joly 1889, the sus pen-
sion imposed upon Mr. Daniels by the American Kennel Club
December 19th 1889, is removed pending final action of the
American Kennel Club at its next quarterly meeting. Yon
will be kind enough to hold the amount before paying the
same to Mr. Graham until such action as referred to above is
taken." A copy of the above notice from President Belmoct
Jr., was duly mailed to both Mr. Daniels and Mr. Graham,
and the check was disposited in the bank, pendiug such di-
rections regarding it, that you may deem proper to give at
thiB meeting. Respectfully submitted,

A. P. Vredenisurhh Seoretary.

The Treasurer's report was read and adopted, and is aB
folia wa;

Feby. 12, 1890.

To the Delegates of the American Kennel Club,— Gentle-
men:— In accordance with the resolution adopted at the last

Laid over.

The matter of the charges of Lorenzo Daniels against
Graham, referred to in the Secretary's report was on|motion
referred to the Advisory Committee.

Id the matter of the request of the Elmira Kennel Club, Dr.
Cryer moved that said request be granted.

Motion seconded and carried.

On motion of Mr. Lewis, the Secretary was instructed to
notify W. C. Hudson, G. B. Gallup, A. J. Parker Jr , and
Robert C. Prayn, of the Albany Kennel Clnb, that they ate

The following kennel clubs were admitted to membership:
The Duquesne Kennel Clnb, the Buffalo Kennel Club and the
Kansas City Kennel Clnb.

The request of the American Gordon Sester Club to change
their name to 'The Gordon Setter Club of America," was on
motion granted.

Mr Anthony's original motion that the delinquent clubs
be notified that if their dneB are not paid within thirty days
they shall be dropped from the roll, was then put and car-
ried.

Mr A. P. Vredenbnrgh was unanimonsly elected as Secre-
tary-Treasurer of the American Kennel Club for the ensuing

C. W. Binsse, who attended the field trials, haB come to
San Rafael for a little stay and we hope will permit his
sportsmen friends to see something of him.

It appears that a clay soil with decided slope would be the
proper thing upon which to keep dogs through the winter.
The rain could drain away quickly and no vapors or mias-
matic poisons pass up through clay. The worst of all plaoea.
is a sandy yard.

Several notable breeding items appear at the head of this
department. California should have, and has as good dogs!
in certain breeds as are to be found anywhere, and prospect-
ive buyers should keep the faol in mind, thereby encourag-i
ing local breeders and bnilding op the interest.

It seems probable that the three or four gentlemen who
make the training of pointers and setters a speoialty in Cali-
fornia will soon all be located Dear San Francisco. George I
T. Allender was in the city on Monday and Tuesday to look
at several places offered him. "William DeMott is casting,
about for an abiding plaoe. M. D. Walter has his eye on i
Berkeley spot, and also on one near Haywards, L. L. Camp-
bell is thinking of going into training, and if he does bo
wieh to be near town.

A little cross-firing is going on in one or two of our content
porariea about the comparative merit of setters and pointers
Iu so far as we have followed the controversy it seems that
all of the writers are a little indefinite in their premises. If
the proposition be that all setters are better than all point titfi
conclusive disproofs might be adduced. If it be merely thai
(he best English setter is better than the best pointer, thei
individual opinion may properly be permitted to each one in
terested. Given suitable conditions under which to work th<
best English setter and there can be no doubt that a brilJian
exhibition will result, and a like remark might be madeo
the best pointer. Individual preference, however, may not
be based upon tbe rare bits of work shown at rare interval!
by types of rare species, but rather upon the average adapta
bility of tbe dog preferred to the work usually done.

We have known devoted sportsmen who would not own t
setter because on tbe quail ground most accessible there wen
cockle burrs and other burry 6tuff which filed the lonj
haired coats and necessitated sittiDgup for hours to clean tb<
dog after an afternoon's sport. Ou the other hand, there an
sportsmeu equally devoted, who are able to go once a weel
fi-80 to a eleau ground for a few hours and who prefer t
dashing, Bnappy setter dog for the little work to be done.JTt
oppose either choice is to be absurd. A good dog is a gooc
dog, and is rare enough at best.

Prom President H. T. Payne.

Editor Breeder and Si-ortsmax :— Some oomment which
I heard doriug my late visit to your city regarding the show
given by the Southern California Kennel Club laBt June, im-
pels me to ask the indulgence of yoar columns in order that
the cause of our awards not being recognized
by the American Kennel Club be fully explained
and the blame placed where it properly belongs. Our club
SB you well know, was organized, and the show held within
the short space of six weeks, and matters neoessarilv had to
be pushed cnward at a vtry lively rate. Immediately on
the organization of the club, we wrote the Secretary of the
A. K. C, asking for the rules of caid i-lob and the necessary
steps 10 be taken in order to gain membership. We received
a reply s'ating that we must forward a copy of our Constitu-
tion and $10 as entrance fee, but no ruleB were sent us. The
Secretary al.o stated that the A. K. C. would hold a meeting
on the May 19ih, and that if our application was in, we
would uDdout.tedly be admitted and our awards rtcogmzed.
On the receipt of this letter a meeting of our club was called,
the nee- ssary action taken and our constitution and a draft
on New York mailed to him the next day. But as the time
was ven short for the mail to reach there by the 19th, we
telegraphed the Secretary that the constitution, draft, etc.,
was in the mail and on their way to the great metropolis,
hoping that the A. K. C, would act on the statement of the
telegram provided the letter failed to reach them by the date
of their meeting. We soon discovered, however, by a letter
from the Secretary, that our hopes were in vain, and that in
the eyes of the A. K. C- the gentlemen composing the South-
ern California Kennel Club were not good for the enormous
sum of $10, com of the realm, the Seoretary stating that al-
though he had received our telegram, the fact that our coin
was Sot spread out before their eyes prevented action being
taken on our admission, but to go aheid with the show and
our awards would lie recognized. But still he failed to send
ns a copy of the rales or make any sagge=t ons to guide us.
Another appeal for rules was made, for it was our desire to
comply with all requirements, for we believed that the
Southern California Kennel Olub had come to Slay.

At last when our catalogue was printed, we were forced to
get our knowledge of the A. K. C. show roles from a few old
copies of catalogues of such other shows as happened to be in
our possession, and here was where we corun itted the crime
which has debarred our awards. In one of these catalogues
appeared a rule stating that "the entry must clearly identify
the dog to be exhibited by name," etc., with a foot note stat-
iogtbal a dog registeied in the American Kennel Begister
DreviouB to January 1, 1888, may be registered free of charge
id. the American Kennel Clnb Stud book. Therefore, in
order to fully identify four or five of onr dogs that under
this foot-note were entitle 1 to free registration, their Ameri-
can Kennel Register numbers were published in our cata-
logue we very naturally supposing, that as the American
Kennel Club had purchased the Begister, they had got
through fighting what was now their property. But alas!
how fallible is human judgment! ...

After our catalogue was printed, and the show had already
' been open two days, we received another letter from the A.
: K C 's secretary, giving ua a little advice, but containing no
■ copy of the ruleB yet, and later, when a copy of our catalogue
had reached his hands, another letter stating that we hid
1 violated an imperative rule by publishing in our catalogne
the A K. E. numbers of a few dogs, and that he _ should
therefore "advise that our awards be not recognized."

This was the head and front of our offense nod nothing
more and for this our awards were rejected. Had the sec-
' retnrv of the A. K. C. performed his duties as he should, we
would have had in our possession a copy of the show rules
long before our catalogues were printed, and this most inex-
orable error of showing that some of o^r exhibitors had
. been Datrons of the A. K E. when the stud book was linger-
ing in that uncertain condition between life and death, would
' have been avoided. Now, when the matter of the rejection
' of our awards was brought before the A. K. C. for re-consider-
ation, the plea was made that we had refused to register our
entries. , , . , , ...

But whv and how? When the club refused us admittance
Bimply because a draft on New York did not reach the Secre-
tary's hands until the day after the meeting of the commit-
tee we did not feel that we could demand registration of our
I ' exhibitors when we were not a member, but wrote the said
Seoretary staling that we would register at the expense of our
club all dogs entered not already registered if our awards
were recoguized. To this we have never received any reply.
The proposition was certainly fair and just. Why should we
he expected to compel registration when we were not a mem-
ber of the A. K. C , and not to receive the benefit of .the reo-
■ ognition of our rewards ? _

When the attention of the Secretary of the A. K. O. was
called to the causes which led to this technical violation
I ' —if it can be characterized by so mild a ierm— his reply was
that he had cautionad us against making this error, viz: the
publication of A. K. E. numl ers. But unfortunately for the
Exhibitors at onr show, his knowledge of the vast extent of
that territory over which "old glory" floats, caused his can-
timing" letter to reach us just two days after our interesting
show had opeDed its doors to an admiring and liberal public.
While every one will concede the necesBitj of stringent rules
for the government of all organizations of any magnitude, yet
il is the general supposition that these national heads are
formed for the purpose of encouraging and aBsisting the sub
ordinate clubs in all manner possible to disseminate the prin-
ciples or advance the interests of that Bpecial work for whiob
the subordinate bodies have been formed, instead of picking
' technical tlaw6 in work that is honestly intended for the gen-
. eral advancement and good of all.

It was my intention to let this whole matter drop with the

I last action of the A. K. C, and quietly abide by its decision,

' but the unfavorable comment growing out of a late publica-

i ' tion of the reasons for its action compells me in jUBlice to our

, i young clnb to place the matter before the exhibitors of this

. coast in its proper light, hewing straight to the line of truth,

letting the ohips fall where they may.

California Aerainst America.

Feb.

The color standard adopted by the Irish Setter Club of the
United States is as follows: f,Color and markings — The
color should be a rich golden chestnut or mahogany red,
with no trace whatever of black; white on chest, throat or
toeB, or a small star on the forehead, or a narrow streak, or
blaze on the nose or face not to disqualify." Stonehenge
eays: "There is no doubt that the preponderance of white,
so as to constitute what is called white and red, is met with
in Borne good strains."

The most brilliant match between teams of ten on a side
that has ever been shot off at pigeons was that of Saturday
afternoon last at the Haigbt street ball grounds in this city.
The match was a peculiar one in several respects. It was
institcted at short notice, to give edat to the visit of the
expert trap shots who are touring the country under manage-
ment of Colonel C W. Dimick, in the interest of the United
States Cartridge Company. No opportunity was afforded the
local men to practice, and none of them bad shot over tmps
to any extent since October last, while the visitors were in
perfect form. Several of the very best of Californian shots
could not take part, Buch as Crittenden Robioson, A. W.
Bruner, Frank J. Bassford, and others, but a good, safe
team was Beleoted, and the splendid scores made fully justi-
fied the wisdom of the choice. It was thought that one
hundred and twenty-five kills would win, but in the outcome
the home team rolled up one hundred and thirty, an average
of thirteen out of bfteen, while the visiting wizards scored
one hundred and thirty-seven, just under fourteen birds to
the man. Such work cannot but arouse admiration and
emulation. The Californians were beaten fairly and squarely,
after a closely Bhot-out race, and took their beating in good
Bpirit.

The visitors were evidently shooting up to their highest
capacity, and they needed to do so.

The Californians were John K. Orr, Captain, whose first
pigeon match in the State was Bhot in 1856, and who is
always brilliant, quick and effective: Martinez Chick, of Sau
Diego, a quick shot and reliable: Chas. J. Haas and Cbas. A.
Merrill, of Stockton, both in the first rank of any company at
the traps; Henry A. Bassford, of Vacaville, a little slow, but a
dead shot; Jos. Delmae, ot San Jobo, not particularly graceful
in handling a gun, but as reliable as any man in the State;
Dr. 8. E Koowles, of this city, who has reduced trap shoot-
ing to certainties, bar luck; Colonel 8. I. Kellogg, not as ex-
perienced at live birds as the others, but a cleaD, fine shot;
H. C Golcber, a Hercules in frame and a master of the gun,
and Edward Fav, whose race was as brilliant as any of the
day. The team did not work together with sufficient care,
and lost several birds which might have been scored dead
with more watchfulness.

The ten visiting world-beaters were Harvey McMurcby, a
model in style, judgment and skill; W. H. Wolntencroft, the
quickest shot alive, and deadly withal; W. F. Quimby, a
little slower, and not given to leading his birds quite enough;
H. B. Whitney, trim, precise, sure as fate, and the equal of
any man ever seen in the State as a shot; W. E Perry,
whose shooting actuallyseems automatic; C. W. Badd, clean-
cut, masterly and perfect at the traps.

Jame3 R. Slice, a massive man, but lithe and speedy; Rol-
la O. Heikes, a first rate Bhot aDd first olass in all other re-
spec's; S. A. Tackei, known and read of all our readers, and
John A. Ruble, a little morose in manner and failing to cen-
ter his birds, yet scoring them all dead.

All of the visitors were craoks, and their styles afforded
moBt interesting matter for study and reflection. Mr. Wol-
stenor-ft in particular was a Btudy. Such marvellous quick-
ness was never before Been. HiB second barrel is fired almost
simultaneously with the first.

Colonel C. VV. Dimick was referee, Ramon E. Wilson and
H. H. Briggs judges, Ed Hough aNd H. T. Payne scorers.

Bassford, of the California team, was the first to f«ce the
traps, and opered the contest auppicionsly by droppings
block-tailer within three feet of the trap with the first barrel,
the appreciative crowd in the grand stand applauding the
performance with much patriotio euthnsiasm

Wolateocroft, the lightning marksman of the champion
team, came next, and fairiy discounted Bassford's clever per-
formaoces by slaughtering, his bird before he was six inches
above the trap.

Kellogg of the local team then followed and knocked a fist-
ful of leathers out of a powerful red left-quarterer that
dashed wildly away toward the Cliff House the moment the
trap was sprung. The secoDd barrel of the Colonel's twelve-
gauge stopped the fugitive, however, within twenty yards of
the boundary, and the grand stand resounded again with lo-
cal enthusiasm. Budd of the visiting team then killed a
white-tailer in fine style, and the shooting kept on alternat-
ing, Golcher scoring with his seond barrel, Murchy with his
first, Knowles with his first, Stiee with his first, Perry with
his first, Fay with his second, Quimby with his second,
Chick with his first, Heikes with his first, Merrill with his
first, Ruble with niB first, Delmas with his first and Whitney
with his second.

Nine men of eaoh team had killed their birds, only two of
the Californians being compelled to use the second barrel,
while five of the champions deemed it prudent to pull the
second trigger and lose no chance. Haas was the last of the
Californians to face the traps on tbe first round and he
killed his bird in fine style. Tucker of the visiting team
was the last of the champions, and the echo of his ten-gauge
gun was dimmed by the shout in the grand stand, as the
right quarter he aimed at defied his first barrel and carried
the charge of shot from his Becond outside the fifty-yard
boundary. This was the first mies of the day, and the
CalifornianB had won the initial round, having sccred tea
straight birds to the champion's nine.

On the next round, however, Bassford, Chick and Delmas
missed, and tbe champions led by one bird, the score stand-
ing 18 to 17. The champions gained another bird on the
third round, scoring 27 to the Californians' 25. The next
round was a Btand-off and the Bcore stood 36 to 34. The
Californians held the champions level in the next two rounds,
and in the seventh killed ten straight birds, while Perry of
the champions missed one, the score then standing 63 for
the visitors to 62 for the Californians. Evener shooting is
not often seen, bat the champions shot with more method if
less brilliancy than tbe local men. The visitors threw away
no chance, and killed their birds almost on the traps, while
tbe local men very often let the birds get a start that needed
the hardest kind of shooting to stop.

At the end of the tenth round the score stood 93 for the
visitors to 89 for the Californians, and then the home talent
experienced a streak of bad luck that lost them the match.
Bassford began the round by failing to stop a left-quarterer
with both barrels, though the fugitive dropped dead at the
fence. Golcher gave a swift black-tailer both barrels, but
the load of shot only increased the fugitive's pace. Fay,
who had a clear score of nine straight kills, gave a right-
quarterer both barrels, but the bird struggled out of boundB
and died there. Chick wasted two cartridges on a fleet-
tailer. The climax for the Californians was capped when a
left quar;erer that was apparently dropped dead in bounds
by Merrill fluttered across the field in front of the retreating
pointer and got well outside of bounds before yielding up
the ghost. Heikes was tbe only member of the visitiDg team
who failed to score, as his bird, a strong red tailer, took both
barrels and got to the fence before dropping. The score
stood 102 for the champions to 95 for the Californians. On
the next round the demoralized Californians diopped be-
hind two more, and at the end of the thirteenth the score
stood 121 for the visitors to 111 for the Californians.

On the fourteenth round the Californians shook themselves
together once more, and Wolstencroft and Quimby missing
easy birds, the visitors' lead was reduced to e ght birds. On
the final round Kellogg missed a Btrong left-quarterer that
skimmed over the fence like a swallow. The other Califor-
nians all scored in tine style. Heikes, of the visiting team,
missed a lively black-tailer that made a bee-line for Alameda
the moment the trap was sprung, and Tucker, the last of the
visitors to shoot, missed by the failure of his first cartridge
to explode. Be got a second chance, and missed his bird,
and the match ended in favor of the visitors by the score of
137 to 130.

Budd, McMurchy, Ruble and Whitney of the champion
team made clean scores. Of the Californians, Merrill was
the only man who killed fifteen straight birds. Orr, Fay,
Delmas and Haas came within one of clean scores, and but
for bad luck would have equalled the visitors.

Colonel Dimick was the perfeot referee, being alert, at
home in the position, quick in applying the rules, and so
affable as to make everything run smoothly. The loral men
were not familiar with the ruleB and lost two birds by the
fact. The scores were: .

At 15 live birds per man; for teams of 10 on a side, chosen
from California and from the U. S. Cartridge Company's
Aggregation; revised American Association Rules; fora trophy
presented by Mr. E. T. Allen. Referee. Colonel C. W. Dim-
ick; judges. Ramon E. Wilson and H. H. Briggs; ScorerB, E.

Tbe United Stales Cartridge Compare 's teams shot in Sac-
ramento on Monday afternoon last, before a small audience,
at Agricultural Park. The day was the coldest and most dis-
agreeable experienced in that usually pleasant city during
the prtsent season. The match was, as usual, at thirty sin-
gle Blue Eock targets and fife pairs, American fahc-oting As-
sociation rules. The psrty was pleasantly received by loca
shots and in return entertained their hosts at the special
car the Iolanthe. in their own peculiar, gorgeous, pictnr-
esaue fashiou. The Sacramentans did ample justice to the
entertaiument offered by Cilontl Diuirmck, and were as fa-
vorably impressed by that most cordial and dehghtfol man
as were those who have come to know him at other points

along his route. . , . . ,

The Bine Book Club met last evening and arranged ita
schedule for the coming season.

Frank Russell, of Hanover. Me., while fox hunting, slipped
on some icy ledgeB and would have slid over the precipice if
the hammers of his gun bad not cut into the crust. .A sit
was be slid until one foct was over the edge. Here, at least,
was a case where a hammer gun saved a life.

A match of 100 live birds for §500 a side is being arranged
between Mr. Crittenden Robinson and Mr. Martinez Chick.
The gentlemen have shot two similar matches, Mr. Robinson
having been successful in both The match to come off will be
shot in or near this city. Mr. Robinon is ready and willing,
and the making of the match depends upon Mr. Chick.

The 6nest elk now extant, an animal larger than the elk of
the Kocky Monutain platean, still roams in herds the conn-
try about" Gray's harbor in tb.p State of Washington, and the
loot-hills of the Coast Range. His antlers are magnificent. When
pursued by dog3 he turns to fight them, and thus falls an
eaBy prey to the hunter. When in fight he throws his nose
high in the air. His immeuse widespread antlers fall upon
each side of hiB back, and away he goes at a round trot, for he
never gallop3 — crashing through the saplings and underbnsh
as though a railroad train had broken loose.

They can tell pretty good bunting stories in Ehode Island.
Here is one that is current: Jeremiah G. Danbar, of Water-
ford, is not slow with a gun. He was out for a iew hours on
Monday, and came back with twenty birds. Two partridges
got up together and he dropped one with each barrel of his
gun. On another day he killed sixteen quails and three
partridges, with but two misses that time; but his best work
was the killing of twenty-three quails in twenty-four shots
one day recently. The twenty-fourth shot was carelessly
fired at a bird that was out of reach of the gunner.

Col. C. W. Dimiek left California on Monday night last for
Bait Lake City. Denver, Kansas City, St. Loois and the E-tst.
That his visit to this coast has been productive of much real
benefit to the sport of trap shooting cannot be gainsaid Tbe
personality of the man iB most impressive, and all of tbe im-
pressions work for the elevation of all interests which he
touches. Of course the primary purpose of his visit was to
popularize the shot shells made by the United States Cart-
ridge Company, and he haB undoubtedly done much in that
behalf, but aside from that parpsse he has shown the opera-
tion of the American Association Rules, as interpreted by a
skilled referee, has coincided with every effort to posh other
sportsman's interests, and has left remembrances of his energy
clear-headedness, grasp and suavity which will remain for
many a day.

On Mondav of last week Philip Scott Loois B. Woodard
and George.Birber, three conductors on the Southern Paci-
fic, with Mr. Haley an attache of the same road went out into
the country near Bakerfield for a drive and hunt. While
returning homeward and witbin about three miles of towD
Scott an \ Woodard upon the back seat, the former saw a
meadow lark upon his side of the road and oiled to Woodard
to shoot it, and still looking at the game as the carriage was
passing by threw up his arm to scare the bird, jnst as Wood-
ard Bhot. The ohargefrom the gun entered Mr Scott's left fore
arm, so shattering it that amputation was deemed neceesary.

This was done late in the evening, Dr. Fergussoo cutling
off the injured member jnst below the elbow, assisted by Dr.
Snook and Franz Bnckrene. Everything possible wab done
for the comfort of the woonded man, and as soon as they
could come, his wife and his brother arrived. Phil Scott, as
his many friends oall him, is during well and haB every
chance of recovery.

Accidents of this kind are shocking because tbey come
right right in the mist of pleasure. AU accidents do that it
is true, but it is hard, most especially for one whoisthe inno-
cent cause when by the incident of accident, joy is converted
into sorrow an i particularly painful when the unwitting one
who inflicts injury is one of such friendly,6unny nature asMr.
Woodarrl. wb > would at any time endure misfortune, to save
a friend harmless.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports a"d Other Pastimes.

EDITED FY ABPHIPPUS,

SUMMARY.

As we go to press the weather appears to have taken an-
other turn, and the chances are about even that the rain is
over at last.

Athletic sports were booming during the past week, several
important events having been decided.

On "Wednesday evening a handicap live mile run v. as given
at the Olympic club rooms.

On Thursday evening the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club
held its first indoor exhibition, and on tbe fame date the
California Club's regular monthly boxing exhibition took
place.

On Friday evening a very important meeting of the Pacific
Coast Amateur Athletic Association was held at tne Olympic
club lojms.

To-morrow afternoon the postponed out-door handicap
games of the Alpine Club wili be decided at Harbor View
Park. The new ont-door grounds of the Ohmpic Club are
now ready for the use of the members, and the ont-door sea-
son may be fairly said to have commenced.

RONNEBS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

It is possible that the challenge recently issued by J. B.
Buchanan, the Australian amateur atblete, will remain un-
answered, at least as far as any of the Pacific Coast athletes
are ooncerned. There are one or two amateurs in the East
who might make a creditable showing against this young
gladiator, but we donbt if there is one man in California
strong or experienced enough to be compared witli him.

The new track of the Olympic Club is perfection itself, and
there is now no reason why the old records should not be all
knocked on tho head.

The P. C. A. A. A. should make an effjrt to bold the an-
nnal championship meeting on May 30th. By putting the
meeting off until July 4th, tbe association will be doing an
injustice to the Berkeley athletes, wbo^e vacation will be-
gin in the middle of June. The Olympic Club might easily
arrange for the formal opening of their new grounds on some
Saturday afternoon, in April or early in May, so as to allow
the P C A A A a chance to hold their games on tbe usual
date, Decoration Day.

The Alpine Club will bold its initial cross country run
from Sausalito on Sunday, March 23d. Several of the
members have promised to take part. After the race the boys
will indulge in a salt water bath and then sit down to a tooth-
some lunch. Captain J. J. Larkey, under whose direction
the run will take place, expects to bring out over twenty
starters. He intends calling a run about twice a month dur-
ing the season.

Captain George W. Jordan and Lieutenant S V. Cassidy,
of the Olympic Club, are already making preparations for their
next cross country run. Jadgiug from the success of tbe
last run from Milbrae the next one promises to be the best
given so far.

Carpenter, tbe high jnmper and ex member of the Golden
Gate Athletic Club, is now residing in Astoria, Oregon, where
he is publishing a newspaper.

Tbe twenty-fourth annual games of the Caledonian Club
will be held at Badger's Park, on Saturday. May 31st. T e
P C A A A should ask the athletic committee to add several
amateur events to their programme. The athletes will all
be in tip top trim for Decoration Day and as the Csledonian
games will be held tbe following day the idea suggested
would surely be a good one.

The first regalar foot ball game of the season will be played
on the Berkeley campus this afternoon. The contesting
teani3 will be tbe Universities and tbe Volunteers.

Tbe Olympic and Alpine Clubs will probably piece football
teams in the field before long and then there will be some
g-and kicking.

C. A. Eldridge of tbe Alpine Club, while practicing the
"clown act" in the gymnasium on Tuesday evening last, got
a bid fall which cut and bruised bis face severely.

The P. C. A. A. A. should have a benefit entertainment for
the purpose of sending a couple of its best athletes ba^k East
this summer to represent it at the American championship
meeting.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Alpine Amateur Ath-
letic Club held last Monaay evening, it was decided to hold
the first out door games tomorrow afternoon. The track at
Harbor View is in fine condition, and some very good per-
formances mav be expected. The track :s 220 yards in cir-
cumference, or eight laps to the mile. There is a straight
120 yards Btretch. The gameB will begin at one o'clock sharp
and the spectators will be able to reach town in time for 5:30
o'clock dinner.

A. Conk, the champion walker of the Los Angeles Athletic
Clnb, who recently joined the Alpines, will receive 20 sec-
onds start of P.N. Gafney in the mile walk. He will also
compete in the 220 yard run.

Cassidy, the scratch man in the run, is practicing bard at
SanLeandro. He will have no easy task overhauling some
of the long start men.

The 4s"0 yard run will be a very exciting race between Lit-
tle, Luttrenger and Garrison.

J. J. McKinnon is liable to lower tb.3 record in the ham-
mer throwing event.

Gf orge W. Armbruster will make the pace hot in the nov-
ice walk.

E. P. Moody should carry off the prize in the half mile.

THE WHEELMEN.

There will be a big race-meet on Decoration Day.

George P. Netmore of the Buy City Wheelmen will shortly
resume pratice. HiB good «howing last year is a clear proof
that he will carry off a good many prizes this season.

There are some good wheelmen in Alpine Clnb and the
Directors will offer them many inducements during the sum-
mer months.

Several local riders appeared on their wheels on Sunday
last for the first time in weeks.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Our usual Eastern notes have failed to come to hand again
this week owning to tb« del-yed mails. After this week we
bopethe storms will net prevent us from publishing in full
our "Jottings from all over."

The annual fireman's tournament for thp counties of Napa
Sonoma, and Marin will be held at Healdsbnry during the
month of May. A great interest is taken in the tournament

W. M. Meeker, who has long been regarded as the greatest
road rider of California, has sold bis ordinary and will ride a
Psydio Safety.

R. M. Thompson, Chief Consul, will also have a safety this
coming year, but be will still retain bis ordinary.

Plummer, Hammer, Doane and Wetmore intend takiDg
the first long ride of their season on Sunday. The trip will
be for the purpose of finding out the condition of tbe roads
after tbe prolonged storms.

The San Bruno road is impossible and will probably re-
main so far a couple of months.

It is to be hoped that the San Francisco Bicycle club will
take an active part in getting up tbe Decoration Day race-
meet. The Bay city wheelmen should not be left to work
alone.

Captain George F. Drake of the Oakland Bicycle club has
callled tbe 6rst run of tbe season for to-morrow. Tbe mem-
bers will assemble on the 8:30 a. m train from Oakland to
San Francisco. The run will be through tbe Golden Gate
Park. Dinner will be taken at the park.
and it will not be surprising if a number of records are
broken.

AT THE OARS.

The majority of the local oarsman took advantage of the
fine weather on Sunday and indulged in practice spins onl
the bay.

Two crews from tbe Pioneer Club rowed to Hunters i
Point.

A couple of the Ariel crews took a spin around to Fort)
Point.

Two regular crews and two Bingle scullers from the South!
End Club passed along tbe Water Front.

The canoe fleet of the Lurline Club toak a spin around
Goat Island.

At the next meeting of (he Pacific Rowing Associatian
rangements will be made for the holding of the annual
gatta. As several new clubs have lately joiued the assoi
tion, it is expected that this years regatta will be the most
successful one ever held on the Pacific Coast.

The Dolphin Club will hold open house to-morrow. A
fine programme of athletic and aquatic sports has been ar-
ranged and an enjoyable time is assured all who have
fortunate enough to receive invitatioas.

A special meeting of tbe Oakland Canoe Club will be held
at S o'clock this evening, to adopt rules for the holiday on]
races.

The recent wet weather has been a great drawback U
Charley Long, and he has found it impossible to keep dowi
in weight Now that a fine spell his set in, he will be abb
to do some work, and his backers are confident that he wil
row up to the starting point in 6rst-class shape. "Whitehead1
and Co will have the exclusive, pool privileges both in tbt:
city and at the course.

Henry Henceman of Stockton will be down next wpek ant
will Baish his training on the bay. He is in fine trim ant
will be heavily backed by his Stockton friends, who thiol
that he will again easily defeat Long.

LAWS TENNIS.

The tournament of the California Tennis Club, which wai
held at tbe club grounds, on the corner of Bush and Scot
streets, on Saturday and Sunday last, was well att'nded
The arrangements were admirably carried out under the sn
pervision of the Board of Directors, consisting of Mrs. H
H. Sherwood, C. R. Yates, F. H. Beaver, E. N- Bee ami B
Lindermann. The winners of the preliminary bouts on Sat
urday were Kilgariff and Beaver, and Yates and Harrison!.
Of tbe final seta the former had won two and the latter one

score at three games all in the fourth set.

Seventh game — Kilgariff won.

Eighth gamp — This was lost by Yates and Harrison tbrougl
their weak returns.

Ninth game — Won by Yates and Harrison.

Tenth and last gaiue — Beaver served well, playing h\:
usual steady game, and, assisted by Kilgariff, succeeded ii|J
scoring the winning stroke by placing tbe ball bac& of Harri
son. This decided the match, giving Kilgariff and Beave
three sets ont of five to their opponents' one. The followirj
couples will play this afternoon for second prize: Yates an- ■
Harrison, scratch; Haigbt brothers, 1 bisque; Taylor an
Hoffman, owe 15; Magee brothers, J 30; Morris and Haslelt I

Oooley will be presented with a diamond looket, Collins
will receive a diamond ring, and Espinosa a gold watoh
charm.

The five miie handicap run for members of the Olympic
Clnb was decided in the gymnasium on Wednesday evemug
last. The race was close and exciting, and was wituessed
by a large crowd of members and their friends. The fol-
' lowing men toed the scratch and were started according to
their handicaps: M. L. Espinosa, Rcratch; Frank L. Cjoley,
scratch; J. A. Code, 30 seconds; W. T. Haberly, 2 minutes;
Newton L. Williams. 2 minutes 30 seconds; H. M. Collins,
2 minutes 30 seconds; Steve V. Cassidy, 2 minutes 30 sec-
onds; J. .J. Blake, 2 minutes 30 seconds; W. J. Moore, 3
minutes.

After the first mile had been finished it was easily to be
seen that Cooley was in fine condition and stood an excellent
thanoe of overhauling his men. Espinosa also ran iu good
style and looked like another winner. The race was, won in
igood style by Cooley; Collins, who had a start of 24 minuteB,
finishing a close second and Espinosa a good third. Williams
retired after finishing 25 miles. Cassidy was taken with a
stitch in his si'.le after he had made 4 miles and was obliged
to retire from the contest. The winner's time was 32 min.
5 sees., which will stand as the Pacific Coast record for five
miles.' Had Cooley been on the outside track of the clnb he
'would have done considerably under those figures. The
ifollowiug gentlemen acted as officials: Handicapper, Capt.
George W. Jordan: Keferee, D. W. Donnelly; Judges, J. H.
Gilhulv and J. P. Kelly; Timers, Peter Mclntyre, Waltsr A.

A Nfew Hatchery.

Trotters and Pacers of 1890.

The Government has just established at Camp Gaston, in
iloopa Vallev, Humboldt County, a fish hatchery. The plant
vas built by "Captain Brice, a naval officer of the Government,
iow on detail duty as a fish commissioner.
' The hatchery was established, and Mr. Morgan is still
':here in charge, but the business will soon be turned over to
"aptain Ltougher y, comminder of the post. The hBtehery
ias a capacity to hatch out and put in the streams from two

0 three millions of young salmon yearly. Aside from the
i;reat benefit to resident whites and Indians of this great in-
crease, the canneries will be benefited, and to supply their
Irain a hatchery is absolutely necessary; otherwise there
rill be no fish.

1 There have already been sent out from the East Penobscot
almon eggs, and the ova of the Eastern brook trout that are
o be hatched at Camp Gaston and put into the streams.

'Saston was selected on account of its proximity to the
pawning beds of the salmon, also for its pure and abundant
upply of clear water of the proper temperature. The eggs
tan only be taken from salmon in the vicinity of their 6pawn-
Dg grounds, which are near the beads of the Bmall streams
lowmg into the rivers, and fish hatcheries are always located
vith reference to the convenience of taking the fish when
e»dv to spawn. By comparison, one thousand eggs are
latched out artificially to one hatched naturally, and of the
ish pit into streams still a greater per cent, live than those
[Stoned naturally. The Government determined, some
ime ago, to establish sixteen hatcheries on military reserva-
ions, and the one at Gaston is one ot the number.

Chief cf Patrol F. P. Ca'.lundan is receiving many com-
.ilaints of violation of the bsh laws by prominent citizens of
,m Mateo and other connties near San Francisco.

We give below the list of trotieis and pacers who Lave
made records iu the 2:30 list during the past season, and al-
ine Wallace registration company, published in the monthly
so those who have lowered former ones during 1890 in Cali-
fornia. This is compiled from the advance list of the year
book published by for February. We noticed a mistake iut he
record of Fleet. It is given as 2:24i made at Stockton, whereas
she made a record of 2:24 at the Napa meeting prior to going
to Stockton. It will be noticed that many of the
names have stars in front of them, which
indicates that the pedigree if fautly. If any of our

Certain citizens of Sonoma County have petitioned the
,upervisors of that county to change the law regulating the
ize of meshes in salmon seines, bo aB to enable fishermen to
atch what in their petitiun are styled a smaller variety or
pecies of salmon known as the "steel heads " It ia puoba-
le the petition was circulated by parties more interested in
tiling a few Bsh during the spawning season than in observ-
ag the law and regarding the rights of their fellow men. The
•upervisoTB very wisely deferred attion on the petition, and
-e trust will refuse to grant the prayer.

Kennel Continued.
California Kennel Club.

The California Kennel Club held an adjourned meeting
iat Wednesday evening at 439 Montgomery street, J. B.
iBwis presiding and W. F. Cue acting as secretary. The
tonfereuce Committee which was appointed to confer with
he Pacific Ke-nel Club, made a report and stated the terms
n which the Pacific Kennel Club deaired to consolidate:
'hat both dobs should unite under the name of the Pacific
lennelClab; that the present officers, constitution and by-
iwb of the Paciue Club, as they now are, should be accepted
nd govern the new club; that the California Kennel Club
hould assume half of the indebtedness of the Pacific Kennel
lob, which'ia between S400 and S500 for unpaid prizes won
t their last bench show in May, 1889.

On motion of James Sumner the report was received and
lecommiitee. consisting of J. B. Lewis, A. B.Truman, J.
;. Martin and John M. Crane was discharged.
Thomas Eigga moved that the terms be not accepted and
ie motion was seconded by W. G. O'Hara. All of the mem-
ars present were opposed to the terms offered by the Pacific
lub and it appeared to be the unanimous opinion that the
oly terms which would be acceptable to the club were as
illows: That the California Kennel Club should name Fiist
ad Third Vice-Presidents; that the Executive Committee
nould consist of sixteen memhers, eight from each club;
mt they should not assume any indebtedness of the Pacific
lub; that the funds now io the treasury of the California
'ennel Club should be placed iu the hands of a responsible
erson, and should be used for no purpose other than giving
1 bench show, that the name of the new club should be the
California Pacific Kennel Club," and that the constitution
ad by-laws be revised to conform with the constitution and
y-laws ot the American Kennel Club.

[It is to be regretted that the Committee of Conference from
ie Calffornia Club did not simply report progress and ask
irther time. It is admittedly desirable that the clubs Bhonld
ise, and the more conservative members of both organiza.
ons are willing to meet cpon a plane of mutual considera-
on. If fusion does not result it will be because of thought-
!8B haste and inconsideiate demands. We think that the
onference Committees have not made a report, and are enr-
tised that any one should undertake to report to the Cali-
irnia Club the views of the Pacific Club men until they are
-rmally drafted and in black and white. — Ken. Ed.]

Horses With Corns.

I have been asked several times of late, as to whether
corns constitute unsoundness. There is but little doubt,
that while they exist, the animal is unsound. Corns are
caused in the majority of cases, from defective shoeing, also
from heavy concussion on hard macadamized roads, and
on cobble-paved streets. They are not as some persons
imagine, hereditary. I do not know of any colt being foaled
with corns, but I have seen dozens of youngsters dropped
with spavins, curbs, ringbones, and other hereditary diseases.
The best way to treat corns, is to study the|shoeing. When
an animal becomes lame and there is nothing to see, the
majority of persons put it down for shoulder lameness.

If they take the trouble to move the shoes and carefully ex-
amine the feet, they will find that a large percentage of
lameness arise from the feet If the corns are likely to sn-
pinate, poultice with flaxseed, for a few days, afterwards,
have the animal shod with leathers for about two weeks,
then remove the leathers. See that the shoes are properly
fitted, <md no undue pressure placed on the hind heel.

In some cases it would be advisable to use a three-quarter
shoe and so do away with any pressure on the part of the
foot affected. W. Henry Jones, M. E. C. V. S.

I have got a bull bitch who had pups some three monlhs
ago. Since weaning the pups, a hard swelling has appeared
on the teats. Please inform me what the swelling is, and
what the best thing to do with it. Also what the probable
coBt would be to ensure a certain cure.

Answer. — Judging by your description of your bitch, I
have no hesitation iu pronouncing it a tumor on the mam-
mary gland. I would recommend you to have the tumour
removed by excision. With reference to cost, it would de-
pend entirely how you make your arrangements with the
veterinary surgeon you engage.

I have a horse afflicted with the thrush in one of his fore
feet. The frog seems to be decaying and exudes a foetid
dark colored matter. No contraction of the heels as yet.
What remedy would you advise?

AnBwer.— With reference to your enquiry about horse with
diseased frog, should advise you to huve the diseased portion
of the frog removed carefully, then poultice with fiax seed
poultice until the discharge becomes less fetid. Afterwards
apply calomel in small quantities to the cleft of the frog and
keep the foot dry. When the discharge has stopped apply oil
of Tar in some cotton wool or tow. I do not think you need
fear contraction of the heels. If there is no improvement in
a week after treatment be good enough to notify the Breeder
and Sportsman.

BILLIARDS.

John Koberls, Jr., of LondoL, the noted bliliardist, has
challenged any American pool-player lor a reasonable unni'
ber of games, pyramvd pool, £."00 to £1,000 a side. It is
Malone the American champion who will accept. Hall the
games to be played in England and half in America.

William Goldthwaite, the most. formidable antagonist whom
Dndley Cavanagh nsed to battle wilh for old-time fonr-ball
carrom championship honors, died at Bellevoe Hospitul.New
York Feb 8lh. The chief and determining cause of deash
was colitis, which was contributed to by exhaustion. Fun-
eral services were held from the warerooms of Patterson,
Bevins & Plowright, 355 Fourth Avenue, at 2 o'clock, Feb.
13th. The interment was in Woodlawn. "Billy" was a
grand dayer in his day, and was accounted by many the
finest player in America. For some years he had been living
from hand to month, his physical infirmities unfitting him
for the long hours which are necessary to devote to a billiard
room.

Tb.9 higl W nervous horse ci.n never be mistaken. Every
portion of tL» body and every motion will give some indica-
tion of that umperameut. The skin will be thin aud sensi-
tive the tones small, the pulse quick, and easily affected by
anvthiog done to or near the horse. The thiu hpB will be
highly compressed the prominent eye will catch everything
that moves either far or near, aud the small, thin, transparent
ear will be in frequent qnick motion. The walk will incline
to a dancs, and the gallop to a rapid succession of springs.

Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Asso-
ciation-

A printed circular has been issued by this association
which merits the attention of not only all upon this
coast who are engaged in the breeding of trotters, but
also of thosa who, as farmers, have the facilities to raise
horses for their own use, or for occasional sale. It has
become the settled condition of the farming class, who
must have horses to perform much of the work upon
their farms and for their drives to and from market,
that is is practical economy to raise the better grades of
horses for their purpose. The trotting horse is the most
useful as well as the most valuable horse for every pur
pose. He excels every other kind of horse for general
use as farm horse, as horse of all work, as driving borse
for every member of the family, as roadster, and as the
horse for speed and lasting qualities in cases of urgency
when dispatch and distance are chief considerations.
Besides lhese material facts to the farmer to recommend
to him the trotting horse, there remains the more
material point with many — that of the market or selling
value of the horse. Every breeder who breeds to supply
the market and meet the growing demand for fast trot-
ters for turf uses and for the stud, understand the prime
quality in the breeding. He procures the very best
blood and line, with leBS regard to cost, and uppermost
care as to pedigree and performance and form, because
in this case and study of selection and breeding, is in-
volved the all-important matter of producing the trotter"
to excel in speed and staying quality, to lower the re-
cord, to command the topmost price, and to be of great
est value in the stud when the time of turf performance
is past. The extraordinary prices which have been paid
for trotters within the last thirty years have in great
measure revolutionized the general sentiment in regard
to horses, and largely instructed breeders to the ad-
vanced syBtem of the present period.

It is the development of the reasoning faculty which
instruct that it costs at the outset little more for the
breeding of a horse that may be sold for thousands of
dollars than it costs for the breeding of a horse that will
never attain a value beyond the low hundreds, or, for
that matter, that may never be worth one hundred dol-
lars. All the while it is possible that the farmer who
breeds intelligently and with discretion superior to the
consideration of the first cost of breeding may be the
breeder of the phenominal trotter to command a price
even beyond any sum yet paid, and thus become not
only famous for his greatly superior breeding, but rich
besides. The great trotting Bires of forty years ago,
whose descendants have since astonished the world by
their performances, and whose sons and daughters are
the marvels of the turf and track, were of the stud, with
\aluea commensurate, were bred upon ordinary farms by
common farmers who bred simply for the farm and not
for the turf or stud. The champions of the trotting turf
— tho Hambletonians, the "Wilkes and other great lines,
now of highest valuation— were in such manner bred;
but the farmers who bred tbem and thence became fam-
ous, had the sagacity and possessed the pride to breed to
tue superior blood of their period. Eysdick and Gold -
Bmilh were farmers of this class. Their systems have
developed into the great and very profitable breeding
farms of this period. Those engKged in them, such as
the owners of Palo AltOrof San Mateo, of Rose Farm, of
Eancho Del Paso, of Pleasanton and of other similar
establishments, require no hint or comment on the sub-
ject. There are still, however, many farmers wbo are
apparently careless, indifferent and unmindful in this

important branch of farming, although better attention
to it is more likely to profit and enrich them than any
other of the branches of farming. It is to this clasB of
farmers that the benefits set forth and made feasible by
the opportunities which the Association offer are easiest
attainable. Many of the farmers, and they are the most
intelligent, as they are the irost prosperous, have adopted
the wise lessons derived from the valuable example of
the most noted breeders, and similarly profit thereby.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa-
tion, as its title indicates, is organized and established
for the purpose of better developing the trotting horse
breeding industry in California and in every one of the
Pacific States. In tbe circular to which reference is
made tbe situation is clearly and succinctly set forth,
with sound reasoning and assuring examples.

The association proposes to supply the means to the
better benefit of the farmer who breeds for his own faim
and to sell the produce, whether of crops or horses. It
enables the owners of horses to devote them to the better
opportunities of the turf, particularly in respect to the
youngsters who develop good Bpeed, though not of tbe
highest order. It is designed to encourage the better
condition and improvement of the trotting turf in every
manner. It will afford fair play and equal chance to
all. It will greatly advance the trotting horse interests
of the whole coast. In California these will be ma-
terially benefitted by the labors of tbe association, com-
posed and governed aB it is by practical men, breeders
and turfmen who are actuated by the commendable
spirit which seeks the best and pursues the right course
to the ultimate highest results. An association ot the
kind has been much needed on this coast, especially ia
this State. This need is now supplied. It rests with
those most interested to encourage and sustain the asso-
ciation. In view of the increasing demand for Califor-
nia bred stock at the East, even from the famous Blue
Grass region of Kentucky, from the great breeding farms
of the Northwest, and from the great turf coun ties of the
Atlantic sea-board — as sales every year in these States
and in the rich market of New York attest — the estab-
lishment of this association may be compared to an in-
stitution in which the highest preparatory training is
guaranteed by most effective methods, and likewise will
flow the most profitable outcome. The circular has
been Bent broadcast over the State and coast, for the
common benefit of breeders and farmers and turfmen.
It should be read and well censidered by all.

Fresno Spring: Meeting.
The Directors of the Fresno Fair Association, with
energy characteristic of them, now make announcement
that a spring meeting will be held in their thriving little
city during the week commencing March 24th. Three
races have been selected for each day, and there is vari-
ety enough in the distances to warrant good entries and
excellent sport. In the way of money, the Directorate
have, as usual, displayed a lavish hand, putting on tbe
•'added" with a generous spirit. Fresno is one of tbe
favorite spots for horsemen to visit, the accommodations
being of the best, and the management cannot be ex-
celled. That old time horseman, Frank Baldwin, is the
Superintendent, and realizes what horsemen require, so
that there is nothing lacking, and everything to tempt
the owner, trainer and jockey to make Fresno a visit.

I

Tbe Balch Races.

For many years Wels-y Balch, of Boston, has pro-
moted sensational trotting races which have drawn the
eyes of the trotting world toward the "Hub of the uni-
verse." His stallion race of last year has raised a stench
that is now stinking in the nostrils of all honest men.
The Alcryon and Nelson affair has been ventilated so
freely through the press that it is not to be wondered at
that outsiders believe in the axiom, "that there must be
some fire when there is so much smoke." Mr. Balch
has been in correspondence for some time with the own-
ers of the most promiuent stallions throughout the coun-
tiy, and now proposes to arrange a race for a purse of
$20,000, and the Eastern newspapers state that at least
twenty posaes°ors of famous stallions will a°Tee to en-
ter. With an entrance of $2;000 the scheme is a good
one from a financial stand point for Mr. Balch, but oan
the owners of these horses afford to have their animals
trot under thg management of a man who denies mem
bership in either of 'he associations, and seems to feel
agrieved that Mr. John Sheppard, of Bostou, sent on
the annual membership fee for the course over which the
race took place. Mr. Balch evidently does not believe in
keeping up tbe ethics of the turf, but believes solely in
lining his pockets with the filthy lucre, to be made from
arranging such races. It is a faot known of ell men that
the old sensatiooal events did more to keep down racing
than anything else could possibly, and the large
purses given for four mile races on the Pacific Const,
gave the thoroughbreds such a black eye that its effeot
on the attendance is still felt.

Another Query For Our Readers.
Do you know anything of the breeding and history of a
horse brought to California some time in the '60s called
Toronto Chief Jr. He was brought out ( 10 I am informed) by
J. Eoff; was owned by J . Agnew, then in San FraneiBCO; next
by Sawyer, of San Antone, Contra Costa Co., then John
Rogers, San Francisco; then Win. Woods, Sulphur Springs
Valley, near Vallejo. fie was a pacing stallion, dark brown
or chestnut, white strip in face, and three or four white
feet. The Boston Cultivator, in an article about a year or
more ago, about the early day trotters and rjacers, speaks
of a paciug stallion Toronto Chief Jr that went to California.
It gives h m a record to harness of about 2:34, and 2:32 to
saddle. Maybe some of the readers of the Breeder and

Answer. — VIr. Williamson, former owner of Belmont, seDds
us thefollowine letter:

San Jose. Feb. 22, 1890.

J. F. Walker, of Irvington, Alameda Co., and was by Bel-

the country and I think bred her. Respectfully, etc ,

Lexington, Ky , Feb. 17, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman, Sam Francisco, Cal. —
Dear Sir: — This is the last call for entries in the Kidd, Ed-
monson and Morse's great contest sale at Chicago, March
17th to 21st.

Tho39 that have not sent their entries should do bo at
once, as the catalogue is now being prepared for the press.

Chicago is destined to have the largest horse sales of tine
and valuable horses, of alt breeds, in th-3 wotld. No other
city offers such advantages in location and population within
aradius of 500 miles. The untold wealth and enterprise of ber
people, locat' d in the heart of America. The center of the
demand where people can go with eaBe and comfort, buy and
sell their valuable horses, of all classes and breeds, to the
best advantage by men that have giver* the sale business a
life long study, and piloted the greatest sa'es toasuccess, that
has ever been held on American soil. Entries have already
been made by prominent breeders of Illinois, Iowa, Minne-
sota, Missouri, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Kentuckv, Michigan,
California, Dakota, Nebraska and Wisconsin. We hope this
will be a united action of every breeder to pull of the sale.
Bring your friends with you to Chicago to be titted in any
kind of a hors« that may be needed. This aloDe will make a
rousing attendance.

Mr. L U. Shippee of Stockton. Cal., in speaking of his
consignment, says: "I have just gotten out the pedigrees of
the coUp, and have them in the Btables. I think they are a
choice lot; they are well bred, and are undoubtedly fine ani
mals." Mr. Shippee is the third largest breeder of trotters
on the Pacific Slope, and the Calitornia trotters at the pres-
ent time are enjoyitg an unequal boom.

The horsemen will await with great interest the coming of
his consignment, as much is expected both in breeding and
quality.

Mr. Jackson I. Case, the owner of J I. C. enters in
the sale a number of good ones from his great breeding farm
at Racine, Wis. ^

Parties having mares that are barren or irregular breeders
would do well to consult Dr. G. W. Stimp'oo, V. S Office
and Hnspital 19th Street, near Sam Pablo Avenue, Oakland,
Cal. Best of references.

Los Angeles, Feby. 27th.
A comparison of the best turf records of Austr-ilii and
America will be of special interest, inasmuch as it now is tbo
popular fad to purchase the Colonial bred horse for a croj s
on the native bred animal. A newspaper friend of mine re-
siding in Australia sent me the following table by the lest
steamer. 1 beleive that it will be found to be correct to the
end of 1889.

AUSTRALIAN RECORDS.

It will be seen that the Australian records compare very
favorably with the American records, and this, too, in spite
of the fact that the races are run on turf in the Antipodes.
They have no toboggan slide tracks in Australia, conse-
quently Sextant's 47£ seconds is probably as good
as Geraldioe's 46 seconds for a half mile.

The American record for a mile is just a quarter of a
second better than the Australian record, but the latter re-
cord was obtained in a race, consequently Maori's 1:39 4 5
is the only American record better than Bolka made in a
race. America his half a second the best of it at a mile and
a quarter, but Abercorn'B performance is as good if not bet-
ter than Kingston's when it is taken in coodderatiou that
Abercorn packed 130 pounds in 2:07, while Kingston was
only weighted at 122 pounds, when he made bis record of
2:0b.i. At two miles Ten Broeck has a second the best of the
Australian record and Drake Carter's celebrated three miles
in 5:24 is a second and three-quarters faster than the best
record of Australia.

QU4.RTER-STRETCH GOSSIP.

Cordova is the name of a race-horse by Balboa who is now
being traioed at Santa Anita. This horse was bred by.Charley
Thomas, of San Jacinto.

A feature of the nest fair to be held in Los Angeles will be
a two and three-year-old trotting stake.

Hancock Johnston expects to send two car-loads of trotters
next month to either Lexington or New York to be sold under
the hammer. They are principally by A. W. .Richmond,
Monroe Chief, Del Sur and Dash wood.

Dr. K. D- Wise is to establish a breeding farm near the
Cententlla Ranch on the Iiedondo Reach road. He has pur-
chased 400 acres of land admirably adapted for breeding pur-
poses. His stalbous will be Emmin Bey by Guy W,lkts,
dam Tempest by Sultan; INjah by Sultan, dam Kilty Wilkes
by George WilkeB, and Glendine by Saulsbury, dam Tempest
by Sultan. The broodmares will be purchased from time to

Ellwood, a p^ciDg mare with a record of 2:!7jf, will shortly
drop a foal by Alrazar 2-:2Q\. Ellwood is a full Bister to Ar-
row 2:13i- The new comer should be speedy-
There is no breeding tarm in tbe state more in need of
new s'ables than Santa Anita. Tbe present stables are in a

A HALF BROTHER TO

ALMONT PATCHEN,

(3:15, trial 9:13 3-4).

JOANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 188G. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patchen
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, he 1b a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him ia
that business c*lls him away from this section of
the State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

.Designer's dan is May Queen, by Abbotsford,
2:iuy,sire of Coode, 2:19j^; Abbosford isbrotherto
Pancoast,2:2iaf, sire of Patron, 1-MX.

May Queen was never trained. When two years old
was driven over the roadthr< e weekH, and trotted to a
cart two miles in six minutes. A few days after she
paueda quarter in 40 seconds bare -footed; after being
shoed she trotted a quarter in 37 seconds.

Second dam by Elmo, 2:27j.; ihalf mile in 1:06), full
sifter in blood to overman, z-A'i 1-i, sister to the sire

match-race in three straight heats in 2:15, 2:i7, 2:F2f
Only two of her oroduce were handled very little, one
trotted as a three-year-old, with tbr^e weeks' work
early in the spring, a mile in 2:35, last quarter in 35
BeconrtB: the other trotted as a three-year-old, a mile
in 2:27jtf, quarters in 33 seconds, with seven weeks'
work, if her produce had been given proper train-
ing, Bhe would surely have had three in the 2;30 list.

Third dam bv David Hill,
and Black Swan,2:28Jtf.

Fourth dam by G>

FaTgo,2'.18Stf.

Emu dam by Williamson's Be'mont.

i Designer is a rich bay horse, 5 years old, 153£ hands

high, weighs 1,0-0 pounds, disposition the very best,

has a perfect gait. and shows every indication or being

very last. He has never been trained, but will be

given a low record, barring accidents. He is a horse

of great substance and high finish; his family on both

sideBare producers of great si-eed, unit he can not fail

, to make a great producer, as his colts inherit all these

qualities— the same disposition and natural trotting

ictiim being large, and showing great breeding. He

. dag but 15 colts in all (.three two-year-oldsi; one of

them has been broken, and last !■ all trotted a quarter

\ in 4ti}£ econds, which proves that he produces early

toners. Those having coirs from him are highly

pleased with t >em, and all returned the mares to him

!■ ;be following season but two.

Breeders will see by carefully examining his pedi-
gree, that his bloodlines are invaluable for the pro-
nation of high breediugand great speed. No stallion
< low in public service can s'iow a pedi ree with such
!dst records as enrich the blood ot Designer. Consid-
:ring his bree^ing.he is by far the cheapest horse in
California. This 13 a rare opportunity to get the ser-
vice or a good horse at a low price, as within a short
leriorl his i»rice will be much higher.
Limited to 2i) mares, at 850 for the season, eommenc-
ng March 1st, ending June lath. Mares can be
■etnrned npxt season if not with foal, provided mares
■r horse have not changed bands. Fee due at time

by Sir CharleB

Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
horoughbreds. Under these diaadvanlaRes he Bired
a long list of winners. His si»-e Newminster, won
the St^LMger 1851. and his dam, Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 183G. Newminister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1834. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 64 races out of 04 starts, by Dr Syn-
tax, winner of the DoncaBter Cup. 1817— -40-41— 42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that teat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheerj is eyually well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded us one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
ster lioe in America.

LOCATION.

TBREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This placn has
been selected lor the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there lor the exclusive use of

are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

A reliable gentleman who raises every year about
one hundred bead of hogs told me he never lost

ANTEVOLO, JR.,
The property of Mr. L. Hewlett, Oakland, California.

194

%ht %vtz&*x %u& § voxt&mzu.

Marcb/8

The subject of our sketcli this week, which has been pro-
dnced in most inimitable style by the Breeder and Sports-
man's artist, Mr. Boyd, is Antevola Jr , the property of Mr.
L. Hewlett, Oakland, CaL. The colt is three years old, and
gives every promise of being as good as his notable sire when
lie folly matures. Antevolo Jr. is a dark bay, 16 hands high,
well developed, with plemy of bone and mnscle, and has
extremely good feet. He is io stature, probably one of the
tallest of the get of Mr. Simpson's borse, bnt he is so evenly
turned that his height is carried off with his otherwise grand
proportions. He has not been driven to exceed thirty limes,
but is well broken, and already shows a good gait, with a
smooth, easy action that should ultimately cause him to
become one of Californian's best stallions; taken all in all, he
is a very handsome colt, as will be seen by his picture. The
dam of Antevolo Jr. is Brownie H. by Priam, a son of
"Whipple's Hambletonian. Brownie H. is a large, fine mare,
with Btar in forehead, one white hind ankle, and is a very
speedy animal herself; she also stands 16 haudB high, and
weighs in the neighborhood of l,250.pounds. Mr. Hewlett
has frequently had her exhibited, and sne invariably carries
off the blue ribbons. Brownie H. was never trained, but can
show a "twenty" gait almost any day. Although compara-
tively speaking a young mare, she has already had six foals,
each and every one of whom have proved themselves to be
very fast roadsters, and the elder ones would undoubtedly
have proved themselves good track horses, but have never
been trained; Bhe herself was entered in a gettleman's race,
for a set of harnesses at the Oakland track, and although
receiving no special preparation, was enabled to win easily,
her best mile being 2:36, and shortly afterwards she showed
in private trial at the same place, 2:2S to a cart.

Brownie H. is the dam of Santa Rita Belle, by Echo Jr.
Santa Rita Belle, with but six weeks' handling by Andy
McDowell, showed a mile in 2:26, and two half miles, the
first in 1:11 and the second in 1:12. Mr. Hewlett sold thi8
good filly to Mr. Sturgis, but the latter gentleman was not
willing to go to any more expense in training, and has had
her bred to Director, by whom she should get an exceedingly
fine foal.

Brownie H. is also the dam of Alda H., by Director, who is
now three years old. This young filly so took the eye of Mr.
Salisbury, that the owner of Director purchased her, and
now he claims that she is the fastest filly he ever sat behind.
"With less than three months' handling, she was able to speed
with Goldleaf, and was driven alongside of the noted pacer
very frequently by Mr. Salisbury. She has been relegated
to the broodmare division, having been bred to Gay Wilkesj
and from the opinion that Mr. Salisbu ry has of her, we know
it would take a very handsome sum to purchase Alda E.

Still another of the colts of Brownie H. is Greenwood by
Lynwood, now two years old and weighs 1,000 pounds, and
is 15.2 in height. Greenwood is owned by Geo. W. Rnssell,
of East Oakland, and is considered one of the most stylish
colts in Alameda County. Although but little exercisedt
Greenwood can show better than a 2:40 clip, and will un-
doubtedly prove himself as fast as any of Brownie H.'s foals.

Hulda H. also claims Brownie H. as her dam, she being
by Director. This little lady is only a yearling, of very
handsome conformation, and should prove herself one of the
speedy lot. Mx. Hewlitt refused $1, COO for this filly when
oaiy three weeks old. One oE the peculiarities of Brownie
H. is that she invariably breeds after whatever horse she is
bred to, and having produced such a very handsome foal by
Director, Mr. Hewlett has bred her back once more to the
premier Btallion of the Pleasanton Stock Farm Company.
Another peculiarity of Brownie H. is, she is both a natural
pacer as well as a speedy trotter, aud it makes no difference
at which gait she is going, a spectator is apt to believe that
she could not go at any other.

In speaking of the dam of Brownie H., Mr. Hewlitt said:
"Her dam was Black Bess, also a fast pacer, who, before I
bought her, some eighteen years ego, showed me a mile in
better than 2:40 to a buggy, with two heavy men in it, on the
old half-mile trtck, and although there was no pedigree to
go with her, I became convinced she was one of the sort we
needed here, and I paid for her what was then termed an
insane price; notwithstanding the fun poked at me by my
friends, I was offered more. than one-half of my money back
for the use of her to take part in a pacing race which was
about to come off during the fair; however, I refused, as i
did not purchase her for racing porposes, but only for my
own amusement. I wanted to clean the road with her, and
there are those still living who remember the extreme speed
of my grand old mare, Black Bess. I bred her to Priam, a
Bon of Whipple's Hambletonian, and the first year I got the
mare Ha, which is the dam of Eeho Jr. Ha, when three
years old, pulled my bnggy a mile in 1:50. I then bred Ila to
Echo, and got Echo Jr.; at four years old I drove him a half
mile doting the stud season in 1:11 to a cart, showing that
the tamily would breed on in Bpeed during many generations.
Mr. Simpson, in speaking of the death uf Ejho Jr., said he
was the best colt of his age in California, and so I considered
him. Echo Jr. died in June, 185 1. After the birth of Echo
Jr.. Black Bess was bred once more to Priam, and got
Brownie H., the dam of Antevola Jr., and every one of her
colts as you will see have speed. Ila also has a Nutwood, a
Monroe Chief, and a five-year-old stallion by Echo, none of
which I have worked to amount to anything, but either of
them can pull a cart any day in 2:40; they only require work
to show how extremely fast they are."

Mr. Hewlett is a very busy man, and his time will not per-
oit of his working his horses as he wculd desire, but there is

no doubt if he should turn his young stock over to some
reliable trainer, that there would be several additions to the
2:30 list during the year of 1890.

To show the peculiarities of families, and how their gaits
will alternate, it might be as well to say here that Greenwood
is a naturaltrotter, as was also Hulda H., <?n the contrary
Alda H. paced as did also Santa Rita Belle; Antevolo Or. is
another of the trotters, and all of Ila's colts are trotters like-
wise.

Brownie H. is now twelve years old, and with her colts,
make aB fine a family for premium purposes as can be found
on the coast. The extreme beauty of Antevolo Jr. is well
known in Oakland and vicinity, so much so, in fact, that Mr.
Hewlett has been urgently solicited by many of his friends to
stand the horse for the season of 1S90. and he has finally con.
sented to accept fifteen mares for service. The youngster
will not be trained this year, but his owner will in all proba-
bility turn him over to one of our crack drivers in 1891 to
receive preparation for a campaign during that year.

Mr. Hewlett iB the owner of a very nice ranch joining the
Valensin Stock Farm, but for the present has it rented out;
however, there is a prospect that in the near future he will
begin the nucleus of another breeding establishment which
will be a fitting neighbor for the many at present In Liver
more valley.

To those who desire fast, young stock, we would advise
them to call on Mr. Hewlett at his Oakland address, to see
what grand individuals can be there purchased at a very
moderate sum.

Second Meeting- of the Arlington Jockey
Club.

Friday, the 2Sth of February was a perfect day. The
track was in splendid condition and the crowd of people pres-
ent to witnesB the races was joyous. It is seldom that yon
see so many people present at a postponed meeting. Santa
Barbara surely has no equal. Only three or four days before
the meeting the track was heavy, as it had rained for sev-
eral days till 72 hours before the race, and yet Friday was
a glorious spring day, and the track could not be Letter for
runners. The first event of the afternoon was a one quarter
mile dash, weight 160 lbs. In this race eleven horses were
entered, so that the race was run in heats. Io the first heat
the following horses started:

Blue Rock, r g, entered by Bayard Thayer.

Butcher Boy, cr g, entered by A. A. Freeman.

McGinty, br g, entered by J. J. McKeel.

Bdly, bg, entered by C. Carter.

Mark B., b g, entered by C. H. Gates.

This heat was soon over, as the starters, Thayer and Stow,
caught the horses all in a bunch and sent them away to a
splendid start. Butcher Boy was a disappointment. Mark
B„ ridden by P. Menchaca, won the heat handily, McGinty
second; time, :26|. This left Mark B. and McGinty to run
in the final heat. In the second heat the following horses
Btarted:

Blaekfoot, r g, entered by H. I. V. Blake.

Killjoy, c g, entered by P. H. Doryea.

Bay Billy, b g, entered by H. T. Pendry.

Tom, b g, entered by Seth LoomiB.

Charlie K., c g. entered by R. H. Kissell.

Modoc, blk g, entered by I. G. Waterman.

This heat was won, "hands down," Ly Tom, ridden by
Frank Stoddard, Bay Billy second; time, 0:26.

This left the following four horses to run off for the purse:
Mark B., Tom. McGinty and Bay Billy.

In the pools Mark B. sold for §5, Tom for S3 and the field
for $2. Tom was unknown to the "boys," but they argued
that Mark B. had so superior a rider that he should win the
race. The starters gave ihe horses a good send off, and from
the start to the finish the distance was contested by Tom and
Maik B, Tom winning by half a length, Mark B second,
Boy Billy third and McGinty fourth; time, 0:26.

The second event of the day was the "Holiday Stakes,"
one-quarter mile handicap. Purse $45. The following horses
started:

Blackfoot, r g, entered by H. J. V. Blake, ridden by
Cordero.

Gladstone, b g, entered by E. R. Den, ridden by Menchaca.

Bob, br g, entered by C. Divers, ridden by Divers.

Jane, b m, entered by A. J. Boeaeke, ridden by Boeseke,

Although Gladstone is out of Lillian, she by Crighton and
by Hardwood, still the talent played Bob, of unknown breed-
ing, to win the race, and he did not disappoint his backers,
for Bob won the race by a neck, and was never touched with
the whip or spurs. This little brown gelding is a good
horse. Bob won, Gladstone second, Jane third; time, 0:25}.

The halt mile dash parse $100 was a sure thing for Grim-
bo. Lima Beans, the uld stand by, wbb lame and sore, so
that Grimbo was un easy winner. Very few pools were sold
in this race. What few were sold were for Becond place,
Lima Beans selling for $5, and the field for $3. The starters
had much difficulty. The horses were half an hour fooling at
the post, and after severe reprimands the horses were sent
off to a fair start, Grimbo taking the lead and won eaBily.
The following hcrses were entered:

Grimbo, s g, entered by Duryea and ridden by Duryea.

Pete, s g, entered by Mrs. Schawb, and ridden by Mar-
quell.

Lima Beans, g g, entered by F. Stoddard, and ridden by
Stoddard.

Domerio, s g, entered by C. H. Gates, and ridden by Ro-
mero.

Lightfoot, s g, entered by Duryea, and ridden by Men-
chaca.

Grimbo 1st, Pete 2nd, Lightfoot 3rd, Domerio fourth.
Time, 0:56.

This ended tbe day's sport. In a few days the third event
of tbe Arlington Jockey Club will be announced. Purees
will be very liberal and thoroughbred horses will be eligible.

Santa Barbara will soon become famous in the equine
world, for gentlemen of means are purchasing the best bred
horses and mares that can be procured. E. R. Den and J.
S. Bell have purchased from H. I. Thornton, thoroughbreds
that will be shipped to Santa Barbara this week. J. W.
Cooper's handsome two year-old colt has been brought iu
from the country and will be put to work. He will be pre-
pared for tbe races of this fall. The colt has developed won-
fully. His muscular development is astonishing. He has
the kindest disposition, and is very intelligent. He was be*
ing shod to-day and the colt appeared to realize the impor-
tance of the work He stood it like one accustomed to it.
The colt will make a record for himself this >ear. T. M.

Veterinary Editor Breeder and Sportsman:: — I have a
young horse which was cut by a barbed wire on the inside
of the right fore leg, just above and touching the hoof. The
cut seems to be deep and is circular in shape. The wound
has been growing worse for a month and promises to leave
an unsightly lump when it heals over. At first it caased
scarcely any lameness, but now he can with difficulty use
the foot. As tbe horse is at a ranch remote from a resident
veterinary, will you kindly inform me through your query
column what treatment to pursue to avoid leaving a blemish
when the wound heals. Thanking you in advance, I am,
Yours very truly, A. D. Ferguson.

Answer. — In answer to your enquiry on your yonng horse,
I consider it a very bad case, and I do not think I can pre-
scribe for the horse without seeing it. But in the meantime
I would suggest, that you poultice the foot with flax seed,
and apply carbolic acid two drams, Glycerine one ounce.

Laminitis or Founder in Horses.

Many enquiries having been made relative to the above
disease, I think it advisable that the subscribers of tbe
Breeder and Sportsman should have some information on
the subject.

There are several causes for this affection. Many cases
arise from over driving and then giving the animal a quanti-
ty of cold water. It may arise from feeding on wheat or
barley to a large extent, more especially in young horses.

The treatment to be pursued iu any caBe is to remove the
shoes at once, pare down the soles, administer a purgative,
poultice the feet with Has Beed. keep the animal on low diet,
for instance, bran mashes and hay. On no account give any
grain.

If the horse after a few days shows any indication of walk-
ing on his heels, it would be advisable to call in a veterinary
surgeon.

The Vital Force.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — There have been a
number of articles on uThe Impregnation of Sire Strains"
and the "Theory of Control of Ses" produced by different
able writers, and their arguments inmost cases have been
Belf sustaining. I beg leave for admission of a few remarks
on the subject, based on psrhaps a different light than that
which has been heretofore advanced.

I have always considered the universal force that governs
the entire universe as the oaose that controls everything
created therein, either animate or inanimate; and for a rea-
son that such a belief is applicable to our caso, I give that
the Creator has undoubtedly inveuted the most economical
force to accomplish his purpose, and that everything that is
created is subject to man, I hope all will admit.

This great force is electricity. By its action, the centre of
which is our solar system, we are alile to be, and without it
evolution would cease. The subject as applied to the horse
I shall endeavor to illustrate by taking for granted that elec-
tricity exists in all matter, and its presence is shown in all
ohemioal actions. That there is chemical action in trans-
forming or converting organic food into animal force or
power will conclusively be granted, and while the living
body appears an unvarying form, it is yet composed of inrJu-
itel> small particles in a state of swift transition. The mo
mentfood is taken into the digestive organs the manufactuie
of force, which was in a dormant state, begios in a most in-
dustrious manner, selecting its respective ingredients for
their proper destination. The hundreds of muscles that
adorn the strong bony system, so framed as to admit free
motion, are the instruments of action; its circulatory sys-
tem is the foundation of forcp, and its nervouB Bystem binds
all into a unit for effective efforts which alone are voluntary
to the animal life, and which is controlled by the will, the
seat of which, as in man, is found in the brain.

The office of the brain need not be explained further than
to say it is the recipient of the dictates of man and any Eur-
rounding objects that may come within influential contact,
and these dictates are transmitted in less time than is within
the conception of man to grasp, and an idea is only formed
by mathematical comparison with the transit of less speedy
mediums.

As in fulfillment of his duty, the horse brings into action
certain portions of his frame, nature demands a replacement
of the exhausted piwer, and rotation progresses in proportion
to the exertion or intensity. The parts that are called upou
to act in the practice of certain gaits, the trot for instance,
are consequently developed and the seat in the brain which
is oalled instinct is also proportionately developed and event-
ually become a faculty which is adapted as a natural char-
acteristic which in turn is traosmittable to the progeny and
in many cases for a series of generations, and if kept in agi-
tation they become a fixed type which distinguishes differ-
ent families.

This electrical force which is considered pynonymous to
nervous force, is no doubt possessed in different individuals
in as many different degrees, yet it can be increased where
it is scarce by abundance o£ food and exercise, the same as it
can be reduced in high strung animals by severe work and
insufficient diet. Scientific breeders have acquired this
knowledge and stay by it.

The six hereditary rules will be adopted for generations
to come, and the arguments are favorable to prove that they
are governed by the universal force, and these hereditary
qualities are as inherited from nature, plus that which is ac-
quired by teaching and are transmittable to the progeny in
proportion to the intensity it is possessed by the individual
parents, either male or female.

The embryo in rfomb of dam is. in the same proportion,
possessed of the characteristics of sire, yet subject to inci-
dental changes the result of which are governed in a marked
extent by the characteristics of the dam, her occupation, etc.
That the sire should have such strong prepotency (vital force)
as to stamp himself and maintain his control in the fcetus
for the 49 or 50 weekB it is carried by the dam seems to me
Bomewhat exaggerated by Borne, for this newly formed being
which once was in the loins of sire and a part of him, is tak-
en into a new world as it were, and if the habits or nature
of dam are different to those of sire, they cease to be devel-
oped and remain in a dormant state until after birth when
with the ai t of man they can be awakened. These truths
have been brought before your readers repeatedly, and sever-
al illustrations might be produced where horses of unknown
breeding unexpectedly showed phenomenal bursis of speed
and became famous turf performers and the investigation of
their ancestery, breeders, etc. pro/ed their descendants from
prominent trotting families.

I hope that from the above there has been sufficient paid to
show that electricity is the medium which transmits to the
progeny the characteristics of sire and dam in proportion to
the intensity that it is possessed by the respective individuals,
and subject to development both whilst in the embryo and
after birth. .

Now, in regard to the control of sex, our subject reaches a
point which, is really beyond the comprehension of the aver-
age man. but, nevertheless, I beg leave to Btate that this same
alectrical force is the sole controller, and that regardless of
the physical condition of either male or female, but governed
by the intensity of vigor of the generative organs at the time
3f copulation, when the one possessed of the greatest amor-
)us intensity will control the sex. To illustrate, I shall pro-
lace a stallion to serve a mare, and both in full vigor, and at
.he highest Btage of sexual heat the mare deposits her eggs
nto the generative organs, by the repulsive qualities it pos-
tages, to be met by the germ therein placed by the male,
ind po°Bessed with the opposite qualities which in tnrn are
..tractive as like electricities repel and unlike attract each
'ther.

I consider that in the germ there are males and females,
.nd in the eggs male and female eggs also, but in a reverse
mtnre in each, so to make them have an affinity for each
ther. the male germ attracting the male egg and vice versa;
nd the control of sex will, according to this, be governed by
he pirent with the great intensity of sexual heat. In con-
tusion I would Bay, that man would have to know when this
tage of sexual heat is in the required intensity to produce
lie sex sought for. There are some men that imagine that
reeding as the mare comes in season, the produce will be
ne sex, and if at the time she is going out, the produce will
e the other, and yet there have not been Bnfficient proofs
U lome to mv knowledge to mike me onvincerl that the idea
i practicable, and I doubt if it can ever be done mire than
) have it io oar list of theories. Yet when these cease to be
f snfficient strength to convince the student, he deems it
.eeessary to snrrender to the great and uoiversal force.
These are my sentiments, and hope I have done my duty
i expressing my views to the many readers of your valuable
aper, and I will be attentive and studious to the arguments
hat may arise, endeavoring to discredit the same.

Difficult Birth.

Declarations in the East.

I

Time is very often the e3seuce of the contract in affording
relief, where delivery is difficult in the mare, cow, audevic;
consequently a few hicts to breeders may enable them in
some cases to give aid promptly, and thus avert the bad
results to the mother of prolonged paining, and the great
jeopardy to the unborn young from delayed birth, says Dr.
C. F. Greenside in the Canadian Live Slock Journal. A lit-
tle knowledge, con6deuce and judgment, are all that are
necessary to enable one to rectify the majority of conditions
that prevent delivery from taking place spontaneously.

Certainly experience is also valuable. The attendant upon
animals that are about to bring forth should avoid being un-
necessarily meddlesome, for while in this condition they
should be disturbed as little as possible. An eye however,
should be kept on them in order to observe if any progress
ie being made towards delivery after paining begins. This
is particularly necessary in the mare, for a natural birth usu-
ally only occupies from fifteen to thirty minutes. If
the period of delivery is prolonged beyond half an hour in-
terference is justifiable, for the foal seldom survives more
than an hour or two; three at the outside — bnt with the cow
it is different, and there is not much danger in allowing her
to go an hour or two, or even more, before affording relief.

As already stated, if progress is not noticeable, in due
time an examination muBt be made. In doing this the hand
and arm should be thoroughly cleansed and oiled in order to
prevent the introduction of any foul matter, or the irritation
of the maternal passage.

The introduction of the hand into the passage is not so
easy until the first six inches have been passed, then the
canal is larger. At from twelve to sixteen inches fron> the
pMnt of introduction the mouth of the womb is reached.
This can be recognized as a ring-like ridge, which varies in
prominence according to the ex'ent to which it is dilated. IE
any portion of the foetus has pissed through the mouth it
will usually be found of considerable size, but in some in-
stances it may not be large enough to admit the hand until it
is pressed through gradually.

When the fcetus is reached it can then usually be ascer-
tained why birth is being delayed, for in nine cases out of
ten it is the result of some wrong position of the foetus,
which renders it a mechanical impossibility for it to pa^s
through the passage, owing to its increased volume. Occa-
sionally, and especially with the first young, and particularly
the cow, even although the fcblii* is in its proper position,
the walls of the canal are not sufficiently dilatable to admit
of birth by the unaided efforts of tbe mother, so that help
has to be given. The natural position for the foetus at the
time of birth is to find tbe two fore feet with the head be-
tween them presented. It can readily be seen how favorable
this presentation is for the gradual expansion of the passage.
The front of the foetus forms something of a cone-shaped
mass, the priot of the cone coming first, and gradually mak-
ing room for the circular base. But as has been already
Btated, deviations from this natural presentation are usually
the cause of difficult birth. One naturally inquires the
cause of variations in position. The most reasonable ex-
planation of the majority of wrong positions is that when the
pains begin and the womb bpgins to press on <he foetus and
force it towards the mouth of that organ, if the mouth is not
sufficiently open to receive it, the pressure continuing, turns
the presented position backwards, and a malposition is pro-
duced. However, this will not account for all cases, for in
some instances there is undoubted evidence that the fcetus
has been in an unnatural position for a length of time, as
shown by the legs and neck being bent and stiffened.

Up to one month prior to birth the fcetus is not in the po-
sition naturally found at the time of delivery. A month
before it is time for it to be born it alters its position to that
found at birth, and doubtless it is then that some caBes of
malposition are brought about.

On making an examination if it is found that the mouth of
the womb is not sufficiently dilated, the hand should be
gradually forced through it until the fcetus is reached, when
the fore legB and muzzle should be drawn into the narrow
position and left there.

When paining reours, the force being exerted on the
foetus, in the natural (iirection, the passage soon expands to a
sufficient extent to allow the fcetus to pass. In a case in
which the fcetus is large in proportion to the size of the pas-
sage it may be necessary to aid the mother in its expulsion
by drawing on the presented parts. In applying traction to
the fcetus some care should be exercised in order to prevent
injury to the mother. The drawing efforts should be made
simultaneously with the expulsive ones of the mother.

Between the pains only sufficient force should be exerted
in order to prevent retraction. In drawing, the traction
should be applied in a downward direction, as tbis is the
natural one, and consequently less opposition is likely to re-
sult from following it. When great force is required in or-
der to effect delivery, some advantage may be gained by
drawing first to one side and then toward the other. From
the slippery condition of the fcetus very little grip can be got
with the hands, and it is consequently almost always neces-
sary to use ropes with the ends looped oyer the presented
parts. Hopes of the size of the ordinary plough lines are
suitable. They should be applied as far back on the fa^tus
as possible in order to take advantage of all power. In order
to make an e xamination of the position of the fcetus it is
often necessary to tear the water bags. There should be no
hesitation in doing so when necessary.

Io some cases of prolonged birth, if the bags are ruptured
early, and paining goes on, all the water is ejected and tbe
walls of the passage become dry, which greatly adds to the
difficulty of extracting the fcetus. In such cases some bene-
fit may be derived from the pouring in or injecting of some
lubricant such as oil or cream.

Protect) ngr the Feet-

An ingenious little device has been patented in England
for the protection of horses' feet, which is said to not only
be much neater but much more effective than tho boots or
rings hitherto used for that purpose. It consistsof a molded
piece of rubber with a flange and a half round edge, tapering
from the toe of the Bboe t • the be?l. which is nailed through
between tbe iron-^hoe and the hoof. The rubber filled thus
applied acts ns a buffer, and prevents injury in tbe case of
horses that are prone io cut one leg by tbe shoe of the other.
It also does away with the necessity of rasping the feet or
drawing io the sb^es, which causes ihe feet to contract and
often leads to lameness. It is a useful Bppliance for colts
when broken iuto harness, as there is no dauger of rlumnuiog
their back sitiews, as is now often done when the use of cer-
tain kinds of boot* are resorted to. It is further claimed tbat
it supplies a valuable addition in the raciog stable for horses
in training, as it prevents injury to the fetlock joint by
treading or striking.

Declarations from the spring handicaps were due February
20th. Considering tie larpe number of entries very few are
declared out. So far returns received at the jockc-y clubs
show but few stars of the fiivt m&goitade. DwyerBios. de-
clared Hanover and K ugiloa from all but the Brooklyn
Handicap, tbe first of the great handicaps to be run. Iu the
absence of tbe Dwyers, the reason is said to be too heavy an
impost of weight. Kingston headed the Brooklyn Handicap
at 12S pounds, and thfl Suburban at 130. Following are the
declarations received as far as known.

The Standard.

[AS REVISED AND ADOPTED liY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TROTTING-HORSE BREEDERS. DECEMBER 14, 1887.]

In order to de6ne what constitutes a trotting-bretl borseand to estab-
lish a bbeed of trotters on a more intelligent basis, the following
rnles are adopted to control admission to the records of pedigrees.
When an animal meets the requirements of admission and Is duly
registered, it shall be accepted as a standard trotting-bred animal: —

Fiest. — Any stallion that has himself a record of two minntes and
thirty seconds (2::-0) or beiter, provided any of his get baa a record of
2 :35 or better, or provided his sice or bis dam ia already a standard
animal.

Secomi. — Any mare or gelding that has a record of 2:30 or better.

Third. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with a record of
2:30 or better.

Fourth. — Any horse that ie the sire of one animal with a record ot
2:30 or better, provided he has either of tbe additional qualifications!
(1) A record himself of 2;35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:35 or better. (2) Has a sire or dam tbat is
already a standard animal.

Fifth -Any mare that has produced an animal with a record of
2:30 or better.

Sixth. -The progeny of a standard horse when out of a standard
mare.

Seventh. — The female progeny of a standard horse when out of a
mare by a standard horse.

Eighth. — Tbe female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

Ninth. - Any mare that has a record of 2:35 or better, and whoa
sire or dam is a standard animal.

used by runners alone, has never been in good condition
for horses to even canter on.

Mr. N. Finzer, the owner of Maori, last Monday en-
gaged Barnes to ride the well known mare at 107 lbs. in the
Suburban. The imported mare, who ran such a cracking
mile at Washington Park last year, carrying 105 lbs., in
1:39 4 5, should render a good account of herself with the
colored crack up, although it would seem almost a furlong
too far.

Mr. N. Finzer of Lnnisville, Ky., has bpen taking a look
tbrongh the Stwte, and besides engaging Barnes to ride Ma-
ori, Mr. Firzer purchased Volante from Santa ADita; the
old horse whoso face i<* well known on almost every race

ten shout at the last turn that he will lay so-and-so, which
horse the dumb man has communicated to him is already
beaten.

A. G. Hunt, a Boston horseman, sent a trotter down to
Bangor Me , one day last week, and would have gone down

That horse kept him in the Hub a week. He swapped elev-
en times, and got two harnesses, a bnggy and three watcheB,

Secretary Mclntyre his announced the following stakes
to be run at the Spring meeting at Elizabeth, which begins
on April 14.

half a mile, aud the Claremout and Koselle Stakes, at five
furiongB.

For three-year-olds — The Luke Blackburn, at a mile, and
the Bayonne Stakes, at a mile and a fnrlong.

For tbree-year-olds and upwards — The New Jersey Jockey
Club Handicap, a double event. The first to be run at a
mile and a fnrlong and the second at a mile and a quarter.
The Oakwood Stakes, at six furlongs; the Seward, at sis
furlongs; the Great Long Inland, at a mile and a quarter;
and the Meadow Stakes, at six furlongs. The latter is for
fillies.

The stakes will close March 20.

Truth says: The iiolioy of increasing the value of the
Eoglish Grand National (the Blue Riband of cross country
sportsmen) to £2,000 appeared to practical people to be of
very questionable prudence, and it is clear that the extra sum
might as well have been thrown into the Mersey, as there
are actually four entries less than last year, nor is there auy
compensation (indeed, were auy possible) in point of quali-
ty. There are four previous winners in Voluptuary (1884),
Roquefort (1SS5), Gamecock (18S7), and Frigate, who won
last year, after having been threo times placed second or
third. There are ten Irish horses, two from France (Fetiche
and Content-Toutde-Meme) and a German candidate in Par-
nais. The stable over which Mr. Arthur Yates presides has
six representatives. Tbere are all the old stagem, such as
Hettie, Battle Royal. Bnllot Box, Bellona, Why Not, TJsna,
Johnny Longtail, Come Away, and Th* Sikh. Among the
new names the best known are Phil, Lntania, and Grey
Friar, to whi'di mav be added that of Touans, who is now
twelve years old. The chances are that there will be a small
field.

Firmness, kindness and patience are three of the essential
elements in the make up of any one who is a snecess in
handling hordes. Without the first a man would naturally
be a failure. The condition of a horse when under the sub-
jection of mau is unnatural, although no domestic animal
submits to its surroundings more gracefullv and carefully.
To control bim perfectly the one doing it roust be master of
the situation under all circumstances. A firm man will pre-
vent disasters where a faint ore would fail. Vhen a horse is
to be brought under snhjpclion it must be done by conquer-
ing his will and not his strength. It would be a dismal fail-
ure if the reverse were true. As to tbp second element,
kindness, the more of thin the better. No horse was ever
spoiled or injured by kind treatment. There is no animal
upon the miud of which kindness will make a greater iin-
presBion than upon that of a horse. Without the latter, pa-
tience, no man can hope for snecess in handling horses. The
man who can patiently develop the good traits of an animal
aod diweonraee the vtsciotitt one?, has it within his power to
change the horse of had habits into oue that will bo valuable.
These points are certainly apparent to every thinkiug man,
and the "three graces" should be acquired, if not already
possessed by till who have the management of horses to look
after. — Canadian Agriculturalist.

Before the last race at Clifton on February 24tht
Jockey McCarthy received his final instructions from
Owner Flynn as to how he should ride Young Duke in
the race about to be run. "Now, Andy, I know you like to
ride as suits you best, but I want you for once to do as I tell
you and you will win," handing the jockey as he said this
u ticket on Young Duke calling for ¥250.

"Now bear in mind from the first jump to lay with Auto-
crat. He i3 the horse you have to beat and the d 1 take

the others. Never mind where the leaders are, you make '
your race with bim from the turn home."

A few minutes later, showed McCarthy raoing helter skel-
fcer after Sondial and so taking it out of Young Duke that he1
failed to beat Autocrat by a small margin. What Flynn said
aft*rwards won't bear repetition.

Tbe famous old thoroughbred Arislides. winner of the first!
Kentucky Derby, and whose time of 4.-.271 for two and one-
half miles still stands as the best on record, has been sold
by Patton «fc Crosswhite. Aristides was foaled in 1872,
and in his three and four-year-old form disputed with'
Ten Broeck the claim to the title "King of thy Turf " Iti
was as a four- year-old, on September 16, 187G, with 101 lbs.,
up, that he made the record for two and a half miles,!
Although he was supieme on the turf, he has been a failure^
in tbe stud. It has been the experience of breeders of bott|
trotters and runners, that the performance of a horse is not i
always a criterion of his value as a sire. Aristides was in Lucas
Turner's Kinlock stud for years, and when the stud was dig;
posed of at auction 14 months ago, the old hor=e was bnDgh '
by Patton & Crosswhite, and put in the stud at their fern,
near Sturgeon, Mo. Aristides had several starters on th<; i
turf last season, and the best of the lot was W. J. Widener'ij
Aristi. br c, 5, who, as a three-year-old and four-year-old
won a number of good races. Atticoe, ch c, 3, and Artistic
b f, 2, failed to secure brackets. Mr. Patton said to a 8ti
Louis Republic reporter: ( We have sold Aristides, but w
are under p'edge not to reveal the name of purchaser on
price- You can say that Aristides ntw owner will probabl;
sell him, and that he is now considering a good offer " Mi
Patton was part owner of Favor, the firtt St. Louis Dt-rbii

Affairs of the Linden Park Blood Horse Association
to be in a decidedly unsettled condition, which is extreme!
unfortunate, for the track's surroundings and its buildiuj
are such as to make it a most attractive spot. The opeuiu
meeting was a complete fiasco, because the truck was m
ready at that time. The trouble seemed to be that the orij
inal builder of the track constructed it on wrong principl*
Superintendent Frank Clark of the Coney Island Jock<
Club was called upon at the eleventh hour, and although
did all he knew bow, to remedy the trouble, it was impossib;
to make the track anything but a peaty-like mass, ovi
which it was unsafe to race. Lucieu O. Appleby, the prim
pal capitalist, interested in the scheme, dio all he could
induce his associates to abandon the meeting of last Cctobe
But he was outvoted, and, as will be remembered, with di
astrons results. Since that Bhort meeting the track has bee
entirely rebuilt, and will be in good condition for racing i
April, when, under arrangements made last fall, it was pr
posed to again trv racing at the track on alternate days wi'
the New Jersey Jockey Club. There is now more troub
among the owners of the property, caused, it is said, by t
unwillingness on the part of some of them to advance a:
more money. Whether tbere will be racing there in ti
ppring is as yet undecided, but there will be in all probab
ity, if the latest reports regarding the track he true. Tb
report is that the Pennsylvania Railroad people, who ba
been to considerable expense in constructing side tract
propose to step into the breach and fnroiso whatever mon<
may be necessary to put the club on a good financial footb
and enable it to have a spring meeting. It would surpn
no one familiar with racing matters if this should be I)
case. In fact, many expect to see the track eventually pe
wholly into the hands of the railroad people, who know tfc
racing has proved very profitable to its backers in Now it

Leslie Macleod,

assistant editor of Wallace's Month
wrote a long account of his Palo Alto visit in the New Yij
Tribune. Among other things he says:

"Charles Marvin, Senator Stanford s trainer, is a man
great resources in his profession, an indefatigable work'
and a close student of the mental traits of the horses
trains. He is far and away the most successful trottii
horse trainer of this age, and a man of even temper
superior intelligence. My visit to Palo Alto was for
purpose of preparing for publication a work on traioi:
written by Mr. Marvin, and necessarily 1 Lad lo study
Palo Alto methods closely. The usnul coarse was fvdlo'
with Sunol. The colt at Palo Alto is weaned at aboul
months old, and is then taught to lead by the hulter. Af
he. becomes thoroughly accustomed to this, he 1h given
first preparation for his turf career. This is on the mio
ture track, or, as I cail it, the kindergarten, and mark )\
this innovation is oue of the distinctive features of the s
tern of training which Senator Stanford and Mr. Marvin \t
fected. This is a covered track, about one-tifteenth u
mile in circumference, and in fact, a counterpart iu uiic
ture of the regulalion mile track. This colt is led eroundl
until the novelty wears off, and is iheu turned loose, at
being carefully lxoted with perfect fitliug sbiu and qnar
boots. Of course the colt's "rst impulse is to gallop ar0i
the track, but he soon settles into a trot, and is there&i
kept at it as much as possible, heme controlled by the voi
and the whips of the trainers, but he is never struck
treated with the slightest violence.

'■The youngsters leirn surprisingly fast what i* wante
them, and after a few months take the exercise with soai
a mistake. Prominent among the good features of this ti
ing equipment, it ma< be mentioued that it sifts theg'
from the bad, and enables the trainer to pick out those 1
are most promising. This is no small advantage at a pi
of tho extent of Palo Alto-,- where there are about 300 br
mares in the stud, aud from 70 to 100 horses and colts al'
in training."

"How loug does this training on the miniaturo track
tione!"

"Until the colt is about fourteen months old it is the
training. After that he is worked, both in harness am
the miniature track, until, say two years old, when he
the last of the kindergarten. At about fourteen montl
age tho cjlt is broken to harness, and his work begine on
mile track. This work consists iu short, sharp brush)
develop h'gh speed, and this brush system' is also ft
Alt<> innovation. This, with the miniature track, has
criti> issd by trainers of the old school, but their criticism!
not have much weight against the fact that horses bred
'rained at Palo Alto bold the f.istest trotting record for y
linys. two-year-olds, three-year-olds and four-year-old,
Sunol's three-year-old record is within one-half seoonc
Jay-Fye-See's five-year-old record."

Oriilamme, the gray son of Flood and Frolic, is said to be
in aB good trim as he ever was in his life, and great things
are expected from him this season.

Charlie Kerr, the sporting owner of Apache and other well-
bred race-horses, has, with all due formalities, ohristened his
ranch near Bakerstield, "The Antrim Stook Farm."

Rev Del Key, brother to the Emperor and El Rio Key had
a severe attack of pneumonia on his outward journey, but
rapidly recoveied. It would have been very hard luck if
Mr. Winters had lost him, as oDly last year The Czar, his
(then three-year-old) brother, died on the way out and a few
weeks ago the yearling half brother, by Hooker — Marian,
died on the ranch.

Mr. Ijams says that Axtell has grown dnriog the winter
and that he now stands 15. 3J. He is higher forward than
behind and he is jogged every day.

Mr. Corrigan's horses have left Gnttenbnrg for Lexington
in charge of the old foreman of the Chioago stable. From
Lexington they will go to Memphis.

There -were 4,792 races run in America in 18S9, against
4,130 in 1885, and 3,548 in 18S7. The added money in 1889
foots op $2,379,192 against $1,839,275 in 1888.

Mr, R. A. Swigerfc -will probably send the yearling colt
CarlBbad by Glenelg out of Lady Wayward, to England next
fall. He is said to be exceptionally good looking while his
breeding is gilt edged.

Matt Allen, Senator Hearst's trainer, has a challenge out to
fight his f Jap against any bird of any feather in New York,
New Jersey or Pennsylvania, for any sum up to $1,000 a
side.

In conformity with the recent decision of the Supreme
Court that the act legalizing the selling of pools on races
run outside of the State was unconstitutional, the poolrooms
in Memphis on the 24th closed by order of the Criminal
Conrt.

The string of thoroughbreds belonging to Amos McCamp-
bell has arrived at the Louisville track. They are Bonita,
Joyful, Longsides, Rollin Hawley, Victorine, Engenius,
Laughter, Florence Shanks, Grayson and Flyaway.

The first mare served to Axiell this year was Myra by
Electioneer, dam Addie Lee, by Culver's Black Hawk. Myra
is a full sister to Adair 2:17:1, and Grace Lee 2:29$, owned by
W. P. Ijams, one of the owners of the champion stallion.

The New Yorkers who wintered at Hot Springs, Arkansas,
were so highly satisfied with the environs and possibilities of
the place that C. W. Barton, of New York, leased the track,
and also the one at Little Rock, and will have both put into
good trim for racing next Fall.

It is said a big suit has been entered against John A. Mor-
ris, of Westchester fame, in connection with Louisiana Lot-
tery stock, involving $2,000 000. Mr. Morris will be defended
by ex-President Grover Cleveland, while R. Neweombe will
look after the interests of the plaintiffs.

Of the Winters' striDg which left Reno, and are at present
in Nashville, Rey Del Rey (brother to El Rio Rey), Nor-
etta (a three-year-old sister to Alta), and Average (a two-year-
old filly by Hooker, out of the dam of Laura Gardner),
received especially favorable comments on their arrival.

A. F. Oridge, head of the bookmaking firm of that name,
is enjoying a winter's rest in Florida, having journeyed there
when the city rooms closed. He is at Oak Point, near New
Smyrna, where also Mike Murray and M. F. Dwyer are locat-
ed. Mr. Cridge will not return until business is resumed.

Pate's Stook Farm Company tiled articles of incorporation
last week. The capital stook is $150,000 in 1,500 sharea.
i Mr. Pate owns 1,340, and the rest are owned by L. J. How-
1 ard, Fred Burgdorfer and W. H. Mayo. The farm will be
: devoted to the production and care of thoroughbred and trot-
ting horses.

The sale of thoroughbred yearlings during 1S89 shows a

fall in the average. During the year 862 head offered brought

' $536,845, an average of $622 79. This is a falling off' from

1 18S8, when 778 head brought $520,238, an average of $667.-

■ 82. High water mark was reached in 1887, when 692 brought

$465,395, an average nf $672.54.

There are about 150 horses now in training at the Louis-
ville track, and fifty or so at the Latonia course. The Mem-
phis track will soon be swarming with thoroughbreds, and
, the Nashville contingent is quite a numerous one. The re-
. pairB and alterations on the Lexington course have served to
banish a good many of the Btables to other points.

The New Jersey Jockey Club Handicap is a double event
affair, the first race at a mile and a furlong and the second at
a mile and a quarter. If the same horse wins both the Messrs.
Dwyer will present the owner with the historic Woodlawn
Vase, which recalls reminiscences of the victories of Bramble
and Miss Woodford.

John A. Morris purchased twenty six head of thoroughbred
yearlings at public sales in 18S9 for $44,259. Marcus Daly
purchased nineteen head for $43,450. The Dwyer Brothers
purchased eighteen head for $30,250. Pierre Lorillard for
thirty-four head paid $24,625, while Ave yearlings cost Sena-
tor Hearst $19,C00.

The two-year-olds sold at the Rancho del Paso sale last
year, have already commenced to show up well. Madge L.
; (Darebin or Warwick — Altitude) won the Washington Staked
$1,000 added, by half a length from Eclipse (KyrleDdy—
Billow); Florence ( Warwick, out of Ysabel) also created a
favorable impression in the same race.

The news of the resignation of Captain Ward from the
superintendency of the New York Jockey Club track is Btill
a matter of comment among turfmen, and all who knew him
regret the necessity for such a step, aB he was becoming very
popular. It is said his wife has fallen heir to considerable
money io England, and his unexpected luck to some extent
induced him to break the ties that bound him to the posi-
tion. ,

While many horses quartered about Corey Island Bhow
great improvement on their form of last year, yet some few
have become developed to such an extent that they will sur-
prise racegoers when the season begins, The blaok racer
Defense orginally Satan, will be likely to make the fur fly
if he keeps clear of mishaps, He is looking grand and is
high in flesh, while work improves him.

Major Du Bois, Denver, has purchased of Mr. A. Spreck-
les the chestnut mare Lucy Abbott, and last Saturday be
shipped Magnet 2:2S$, Superior 2:19J, Lucy Abbott, Eg-
berta, already bred to Magnet, and a Magnet mare already
bred to Superior, back to Denver in a new baggage car ad-
mirably fitted up under the Major's supervision. In the
car were Col. Streeter's two horsea which have been under
B. C. Holly's care this winter.

The dates for this season's running meetings in the West
will be as follows: New Orleans, Feb. 15 to April 7th; Bir-
mingham, April 9th to 15th; Memphis, April 12th to 23rd;
Los Angelts, April 14th to 19th; Nashville, April 26th to May
3d; Lexington, May 6th to 13th; Louisville, May 14th to 23d;
Latonia, May 24th fo June 7th; St. Louis, June 7th to 20th;
KanBas City, June 10th to 19th; Chicago, June 21st to July
10th; Twin Cities, Minn , July 23d to Aug. 2nd.

Messrs. McMahon & Co. will sell at auction their entire
stable in order to settle the interests of the individual mem-
bers of the firm. There are some twenty horses to be dis-
posed of, including Speedwell, Eolian, and others less well
known. /This sale is the outcome of the quarrel between Gar-
rison and his father-in-law. Garrison too had to close out his
interest in the stable because the Messrs. Dwyer, to whom
he is engaged for next season, desire that he shall have no
pecuniary interest in a racing stable while he is in their em-
ploy-

Now that it has been demonstrated that even low class
platers can run three miles without difficulty, the Clitton
management will give a long distance race, io be decided March
17th, for horses of a better grade. The conditions for the
stake will be announced in a few days. Probably a race will
be given at the Clifton track in about a week for horses to be
ridden by their owners, W. and Alf Lakeland, W. Rollins,
W. Olney, L. Lloyd and several others have consented to
make entries and ride if such a race is given.

One of the best looking Shetland ponies seen in the State
was sent a fortnight ago by Bnldy Hamilton as a present to
his veteran friend Luke Du Bois now of Denver, Coloradp.
The Sheltie was a magnificent sturdy looking, stout built
7 year old stallion.

Last year one hundred and eighteen dashes of a mile were
run over the various tracks in this country in le3S time than
1:43. Five years ago 1 :43 was beaten in only twenty four
races. Of the fast mile records last year, seven were made
at Washington Pyrk and thirteen at West Side Park, Chi-
cago. Maori's 1:39 4-5 at Washington Park, heads the list
as the fastest mile ever made in a race.

The Lamasney Bros, have just made arrangements with
Barnes, the famous colored knight of the pig skin, to ride for
them during the early part of the coming season. Barnes
has signed with "Lucky" Baldwin, but as Mr. Baldwin
will not begin racing until the Washington Park meeting, he
consented to Barnes riding for the Lamasneys until he needs
him.

Allen Farm claims the distinction of having the first foal of
the season in the North dropped on its place. The foal is a
fine filly by Sable Wilkes out of Minnie Wilkes, a daughter
of Sultan (sire of Stainboul 2:12}) and Kitty Wilkes (dam of
Rajah 2:29J) by George Wilkes. Minnie Wilkes is own sister
to Elizabeth that brought $6,100 in the recent Brasfield sale,
the highest price paid for a brood mare in sale.

Bela, the winner of the Old Dominion at Clifton, is bred
to go a distance, his dam being Weiland by Wanderer (a
well known four miler), out of a LexiDgton mare, and she
out of old Iodine by imp Sovereign. The time was fairly
good considering the track was slow and a three-quarter
track, too. The fractional time of the race was, quarter 28,
half 55, three-quarters 1:23, mile l:51f, mile and a quarter
2:21^, mile and a half 2:49£, mile an-J three quarters 3:18,
two miles 3:46$, two miles and a quarter 4:14, two miles and
a half 4:42£, two miles and three-quarters 5:1 1 J, three miles
5:3SJ.

Dr. W. T. Monsarratt, the veterinary surgeon who waa
located in Danville, Ky., tor a Bhort time, but left to accept a
position at Honolulu, Sandwich Islands, is now enjoying the
emoluments of the very lucrative post of Government veter-
inarian. The Kentucky Advocate says: An idea of the per-
quisites he receives can be obtained from the statement that
fur every animal imported, he is paid the following fees:
Horses, mules and bovines, $1 per head, and hogs and sheep,
10 cents per head. The veterinarian's income from this source
is about $400 per month. He is also allowed the privilege of
a private practice, and adds to Mb income from this source.

Congressman W. L. Scott's splendid winter quarters for
his thoroughbreds at Cape Charles City, Va , are arranged on
) a magnificent Bcale, 2,700 acres of land being enclosed. The
thoroaghbred stables are simply superb. They might, with-
out exaggeration be easily termed "horse parlors." One
large bouse covers over bfty weather boarded and padded
stalls. Immediately in front of the big stable is the track,
one mile in circumference, always kept io prime condition
and very fast, for exercising the horses and many frisky
youngsters. On the north side of the track iB that part of
the farm used for trucking panoses, the principle truck
being spinach and strawberries. On the west side and
directly opposite the stables are the quarters for the men
and boys employed in the stable. On the south side one has
a good view of the Chesapeake. The quarters for the em-
ployees are fitted u p in a very comfortable and homelike man-
ner. With the exception of Chaos, all the horses have win-
tered well, and among the two-years are some slashing look-
ers.

The satisfactory result of the original cross with English
horses, soon lead to a great deal of attention being given to
the importation of the best Eistern horses, Oliver Cromwell
for war, and King Charles II for sport, both sent emissaries
from England to the East in search of good horses. The
Barb seems to have-been chielly used, though often under
the name of Turk or the Arabiau. There is much confusion
in the manner in which names were applied at this period,
not in accordance with the strain of the horses, but after the
name of the country from which they happen to nave been
imported. Some twenty Oriental hordes are known to have
been used in the formation of the thoroughbred between 1620
and 1750, but the pedigree of no English horse can be reliably
traced back further than to Place's White Turk about 1655.
Place was Cromwell's stud master, and like all Cromwell's
officers no doubt understood hiH business. His horse, the
White Turk, is known to have been the sire of several horses
and marss to which some of our best stock is now traced.
The right quantity of Oriental blood seems to have been in
fused in the English stock, and a new breed of a fixed char-
acter formed in little more than 100 years. No further in-
fusion of Eastern blood has succeeded. All late experiments
in that direction have entirely failed, but the superior speed
and t-taying power of the English thoroughbred hone is now
so undoubted, that no cross whatever can be adopted with-
out deterioration.

Secretary Brewster has been Btriving hard to get a National
Jockey Club formed which shall have control of the rac-
ing rules on all traoks. It is time it was done and Mr.
Withers, it is understood, has formulated a new Bet of raciflg
rales based on the English raciog law, supplemented by Bucli
innovations as a careful study Of American racing for many
years have taught him to be necessary in this country. It is
even said among racing men that when the new Monmouth
Park track is opened, Mr. Withers will ask owners to give
his new code a praotical trial. Perhaps this would be the
very best way out of the present wholly unsatisfactory con:
dition of affairs, which is especially annoying to owners who
race both in the East and West, and who are at times Unable
to say under what rules, if any, they are racing. Mr.
Withers' rules would certainly be welcome if they tend to se-
cure uniformity in theBe matters throughout the countty,
and it is pretty certain that the Western clubs, in their
anxiety to secure a truly American code, will come more than
half way in an effort to adopt them.

The Supreme Court, on the 22nd, affirmed the verdict of
the Davidson County Criminal Court in the poolroom cases,
deciding that the making of books and the selling of pools on
races ru n outside of the State (Tennessee) is in violation of law,
and therefore indictable. These cases were against H.C.Brown
for bookmaking and Palmer & Cartwrigbt for selling pools.
The opinion in the former cause was delivered by Justice
Folkes and in the latter by Justice Lurton. Soon after the
action of the Supreme Court became known, the four pool-
rooms in Nashville ceased business, and of course all other
establishments of the kind in the State were likewise closed.
An attempt was made at the session of the Legislature in
18S7 to legalize bookmaking and poolselling, but the bill
looking to that end was defeated. Two years later license
clauses were interpolated in the general revenue bill, and a
day or two after the measure had been signed by the Govern-
or the poolrooms were opened.

Brown was indicted in a test case, tried and fined $50 for
gambling by betting on a horse race in violation of law. The
defendant appealed in error, relying on the clause in the
revenue act, which fixed the license on bookmakers at $25
per annum. Defendant acted as a bookmaker, and made bets
on a race run over a track not in this State.

Palmer & Cartwright were convicted of selling pools on a
horserace also run outside of the State, and fined. They also
appealed, with the result stated.

The New York World has been issuing reminiscences o
the Old Guard, headed by Barnnm, Exile, etc., and later on
Bay b: —

The oldest member of the Old Guard is Hickory Jim, No
man knowa his age. Years ago, when the present generation
of trainerB and juckeys were in their swaddling clothes, Hick-
ory Jim was a veteran on the The oldest turf guide printed,
records, "Hickory Jim, aged." His life bridges the old and
the new turf. He goes back to the days when the Bufords
and the Blackburns and the Swigerts raced their horses for
pleasure on their private tracks over the blue gTass of Central
Kentucky, and discussed pedigrees beneath the shade of their
old oaks with the aromatic julepB near by.

Old Jim has no royal pedigree, nor were his ancestors from
the priceless strains of Arabia. His sire was Geo. DaBher, a
Western horse, and his dam is unknown. Hia owner, D. D,
Davis, who has had him for eighteen years, bought him in
the far West. They have seen many strange sights, old
Davis and Hickory Jim, and they have been together bo much
that they have grown to resemble each other in a manner
half ludicrous, half pathetic.

Davis, in a quaint, halting way, tells how for years he
raced old Jim through the territories of the Northwest.
Scores of times Jim ran against the best Indian horses, and
on one memorable occasion he beat the beBt horse of the
Sioux, and every buck in the tribe was a bankrupt for a
year.

The horse became so famous through all that region that
Davis could get no odds against him, and he determined to
change hiB name. After much consultation he thonght Red
Mike the proper title, andcuoningly entered the horse by
that name at the thriving mining town of Butte, where the
miners had built a little track. As it happened, the miners
were nearly all Irishmen, and the name, Bed Mike, seemed
to recall patriotic memories to them. One and all plunged
on Red Mike and Davis could not get a bet. He left in dis-
gust, and since then tbe old fellow has been Hickory Jim.
After running him on every race track in the far West, Davis
went South with him and raced him against the Mexicans
and Indians of New Mexico and Arizona, and he was always
successful. After years of tnis kind of running, Jim was
taken to GalveBton," New Orleans and Mobile, and at length
struck the big tracks.

One day there appeared on the Lexington track a weather-
beaten, ragged, angular old horse with hair all over him two
inches long, and altogether the most extraordinary spectacle
ever seen on that aristocratic track. Ab he galloped around
the track with a weazened-faced little jockey on his back, Buch
a roar of laughter went up as never greeted a horse before.
Every one asked who the stranger was and where he came
from. No one knew aught of him except that his name was
Hickory Jim.

The old horse seemed to feel that he was not fit for such
fine company, and when the prancing thoroughbreds came
out one by one, many of them with ribbons knotted in their
manes, the gloom on his scarred old face became deeper and
deeper.

He got offbadly, and as he passed the stand he waa several
yards behind the bunch an>l the crowd cheered him derisive-
ly. He paid no attention to their insult, but continued on
his way with his head down, giving strict attention to busi-
ness.

As they rounded the turn some one yelled: —
'•Why, old Hickory Jim is winning!" And sure enough he
was. With long, steady strides he closed up the gap, and
one by one he had overtaken his Tivnls. He passed through
the midst of them like a resistless machine, and never vary-
ing his long stride, as regular as a pendulum, he came under
the wire winner by half a dozen open lengths.

The crowd gave him a great ovation, but old Jim, still
wrapped in the deepest gloom, hung hie head down mourn-
fully and went off to his stable. His owner says Jim has rnn
hundreds of races, and the records show that this is true. In
purses and bets Davis won with old Jim half a million dol-
lars. He has won creditable races at Monmouth andSheeps-
head Bay, but for the last few years he has only run at the
winter tracks, where now and then, by his superior sagacity,
he slips in through a crowd of stupid youngsters who hnv
not had the experience of wily old Jim,

THE FARM.

Promoting Milk.

The London Live Stock Journal says: "A copious flow
of milk, sustained through many months, is a quality which
has been produced by art in domestication. Wild cattle
rarely provide more than enough milk to rear their own
offspring, and the flow of it is of comparatively short du-
ration. Small in volume, the milk ib rich in quality, but
the lacteal organs soon dry off again. This, of course, is in
harmony with the requirements of the yooog aaimals in a
wild state, and is a correlation of the roving lite and hap-
hazard feeding of thp dams. More milk than the calf re-
quires under such conditions would be a waste of mateiial
energy which nature does not encourage. It would, more-
over, be an encumbrance to the mother. Wild cattle are
neither good milkers nor good fatteners. and in parts of
England where calves are allowed to run with their domesti-
cated dems generations after generations, the breed of suoh
animals is not famous for milk-giving. Like that of the
mare and ewe, the milk is smaller in quantity, rich in qual-
ity and of short duration. The desultory and irregular
sucking of a calf or foal or lamb is not conducive to the de-
velopment of a large flow of milk, and it distinctly tends to
shorten the flow, Hand-milking of a sim lar character has
the same effect. Young people are allowed to learn how to
milk on cows who are going dry for calving, not on those
who are still in fall flow. New beginners soon dry up a
cow's milk, and bad milkers do the same.

"Heavy milking properties, then, are artificial, in the sense
that they* have been developed under domestication, and by
careful breeding, for a given end; yet, like many other qual
ities, which are a little more than mere germs of natore,
they become hereditary by long usage. Few sorts of an-
imals, if any.are more susceptible than cattle of being mould-
ed into what we want; no physical quality is so easily
trained and developed as that of giving milk. It is a func-
tion which constantly varying of itself can be dwarfed or ex-
tended at will. By means of careful training, kind treatment
and intelligent breeding, it can be developed and made he
reditary; an opposite system keeps it in a state of nature.
The habits of a cow and the food she rereiveB, have a great
deal to do with her milking powers; quick and silent hand-
milking does the rest. The practice of hend-milking cows
has all along tended greatly to the development of the lacteal
glands, and this development has become hereditary in Bom*
of our milking breeds. The ewes of the Larzac breed of
aheep, from whose milk the famous Roquefort cheese is
made in France, have been hand-milked for generations, so
that their milking properties are now considerable and in-
herited. By repeatedly escitiDg the teats it is even possible
to canse an animal that has never borne offspring to yield a
small quantity of milk, and a cow sometimes remains barren
several years after having had a calf, giving a profitable
quantity of milk all the while."

A Pare Breed of Polled Durhama.

Our British contemporary. Fanning World, under the
heading of *'A New Breed of Cattle," says:

"Our enterprising cousins on the other side of the Atlantic
ire ever hunting for improvements. There is no limit to
their inventive genius. Not satisfied with the pure breeds
)f cattle which we send them from this country, they have
oow resolved to found a breed of their own. By mating
Aberdeen-Angus sires with shorthorn cows, they have suc-
jeeded in forming a class or cross [bred?] without horns, but
n regard to color and other cattle characteristics strongly re-
iembling the shorthorns."

The Polled Durhams originated not by crossing Aberdeeu-
Arjgns or any other polls or shorthorns. They are of two
iub-familiep. One from a sport in the herd of high grade
shorthorns of Mr. A. G. Burleigh of Illinois, prepotent, and
oow fixed by careful selection for many years.

The other strain of Polled Durhams is from descendants
)f thoroughbred shoTthorne, regularly registered in the
American Shorthorn Hand-book, and the descendants regis-
*red and entitled thereto. Upon the authority of Hon. J.
3. Pickrell, secretary of the American Shorthorn Assona-
ion, which will not be questioned, and from an examination
>f the record, we find that the herd of Mr. W. S. Miller of
)bio, was established as follows:

This herd is descended from a 'naturally polled cow, not
>nly of the purest shorthorn blood, but of a herd second to
lone now in the United States or England. We refer to the
ate herd of Hon. Wm. S. King of Minnesota, and noted for
'he superior breeding of its animal*. The origin of the
lore bred herd alluded to was originally from twin heifere of
tfr. King's herd. These became the joint property of Mr.
3. McNair and the estate of Hon. W. W. McNair, of Minne-
ipolis, and all descended, either through dan* or sire, from
)akwood Gwynne 4th (an imp. Medora, by Horatio), by Mar-
quis of Geneva 10451.

Nellie Gwynne and Mollie Gwynne (twins of October,
.881). From this cow and the 7th Duke of Hilhurst 34221,
ler bull calf King of Kine (Angust 15, 1883), by Bright Eyes
5uke 31894. Also Nellie Gwynne 2d, out of Nellie Gwynne,
md by Favorite 48182; Mollie Gwynne 2d ont of Mollie
Iwynne, and by King of Kine; all entirely devoid of horns
it birth. Kingof Kine, at the bead of this herd, has in only
.ine instance got a calf with horns, and these very small.
Many of the animah descended from the Ohio importation
if 1834 were noted for very small horns, and this importa-
ion certainly was not noted for under-bred cattle.)

To return, Mr. W. S Miller, of Ohio, was so impressed
nth these cattle (the McNair sport) that he bought the whole
ierd, and has since been breeding them earefullv. He had
irevionsly been breeding Red Palled Shorthorns — if the term
joey be admissible — starting, of course, with grades. Yet
o potent are the Polled Dnrhams (the name now established)
hat Mr. Miller affirms that, no matter which parent is horn-
36B, nine-tenths'of the progeny are hornless. So far as the
iiure breeds are concerned, they come hornless, except in oc-
asional instances, and theD with imperfect horns.
I Onr contemoorary will thus see that the now well estab-
lished Polled Durhams are in neither case descended from a
| ross of Aberdeen-Angns are any other polled cattle; and in
! he case of toe pure-bred stock they are Dot even indebted to

he far away Galloway infusion of blood in some of the
j horthorn sub-families, but are from bb pnrelv bred as possi-
I >le. As originally stated by ub, we believe that the 'Tolled
] Jnrhams" have come to siay; and, equally, with the three
Mtatinct origins of this breed} bat we do not assert that the

toxTilcsa are better than the magnificent horned varisty, ei>

♦pt that it is better, to bread, natural polls than, to dehom.--

Prospects of Shorthorn Breeders.
Before we eDgage on our subject, it may be well to give,
in a prominent way, an explanation of certain terms which
must necessarily crop up time after time as we consider the
prospects of breeders of Shorthorns.

We might supplement this by Baying a good animal is nec-
essarily a well bred one, and an inferior aDimal is a badly-
bred one, let its pedigree be what it may. And now to our
subject. About twenty years ago a great change came over
the Southern world. Prices went up, and all sorts of stock
shared in the inflation which occurred in the first of the
"seventies." Herds were started in new centers, aDd many
took to breeding Shorthorns either bs a hobby or because it
was a fashionable occupation. Certain families of Shorthorns
were termed "highly bred," and breeders vied with each
other in obtaining representatives of these families. The
trade of the country was good, farming was prospering, and
hundreds and thousands were expended in the purchase of
single animals. Men altogether unfitted for the pursuit em-
barbed in Shorthorn breeding, and for a time judgment was
of no account whatever. When a sale catalogue was pub-
lished the whole business was reduced to such a simple cer-
tainty that one could tell almost to a trifle the number of
hundreds or, as the case might be, thousands every animal
would make. It mattered not whether the animal was
"good, bad or indifferent," if its pedigree read right it was
"highly bred" and worth so much money. This was very
nice, and all was smooth sailing. We had "highly bred
Shorthorns" spread over the country, and a large propor-
tion of the breeders who owned "well bred Shorthorns" be-
gan to use bulls from "highly bred families. Men departed
from lines they and their fathers had gone upon in building
up those "well bred" herds. They knew certain strains of
blood were worth so much money under the glass; they
pored over pedigree, finding happy combinations here and
flaws there, till they lost sight of the qualifications of the
individuals that composed these pedigrees. Their great am-
bition was to get their herds as closely related to "highly
bred Shorthorns" as possible. Everything for a time went
off merrily as marriage bells. As we have said, it became a
fashionable pastime with wealthy men to breed Shorthorns;
and it was neither a question of meat nor milk with them so
long as the pedigree read all right. "Well-bred Shorthorns, ' '
however, suffered after a time. Instead of sharing in the
increased values they lost ground. They were neither fish
nor flesh, they could show no straight line of descent; and
although they were either good betf or milk cattle, or per-
haps both good beef and milk cattle, they were of no account
in the sale ring. They only brought tens when their aris-
tocratic "highly bred," but comparatively poor blood relations
made thousands.

Towards the close of the "seventies," corn growing,
through bad seasons and foreign importations, became un-
profitable. American and continental cattle and meat poured
into our porte1, trade of allsorts was in a bad state, and money
got acarce, not only with the ordinary farmers but also with
Shorthorns breeders. Prices began to fall off, even for "high-
ly bred Shorthorns," and much as was then and has since
been done, by one breeder buyiDg from another to keep prices
up whenever such cattle were put upon the market, values
decreased enormously. Let us take any of the fashionable
families and compare the prices of to day with what they at
one time brought, and we are pretty near the truth when we
say they are worth little more than a tenth of what they
would at one time have realized.

Did these "highly bred Shorthorns" benefit the breed? I
do not think they did. As we have seen, they were not bred
to produce meat or milk: bnt beyond being a negative, they
were a positive evil. Bred from paper, as we may be allowed
to call it, they were produced weaklings. Mischief in the
shape of hereditary diseases, through in-and-in breeding, be-
came developed, and several herds lost constitution and flesh.
There was no difficulty in making cattle bred in this way
fat, but it wa3 "beyond the power of man" to give them flesh
and constitution.

Just as the early Shorthorn breeders bred for fat, we must
to-day breed for flesh. Those excessively fat Shorthorns
were required seventy years ago, when the ordinary stock of
the country were full of flesh but wanting in fat, but th^y
are no longer necessary. The ordinary farmers' cattle are
changed, and what is now needed are strong coustitutioned,
thick-flesh Short-horns.

And now as to the prospects before breeders of Shorthorns.
We held that at no period of the breeder's history uave they
been brighter. We have quite got over the theoretical period
— we have returned to the practical. Of all the breeds of cat-
tle in the world we venture to say that under ail circum-
stances, in all climates, and on all soils, there is no known
breed that can compare with "well bred Shorthorns." If,
perchance, Shorthorns have lost touch with the ordinary far-
mer, the butcher and the dairyman, it is not the breed that
is to blame — it was the people who made a sport, a pastime,
a play of them, and to-day we find those men at their wits*
end to know what to do for a cross of blood that can bring
life and living into their herds.

We have no donbt that many will soe^r at much that we
have written, but facts speak for themselves; and a good
wide-chested, well-fleshed specimen of a "wtll-bred Short-
horn" is worth in the market to day five times as much as be
was worth ten years ago, while, in point of faot, he is worth
any numberof "higbly-bredShorthorns," whosedeh'mtion we
gave at the opening of this paper.

Seeing, therefore, that Shorthorn breeding has made a
fresh start, as it were, men's hands are free;aud auy-one with
judgment can purchase and breed good cattle, assured that
there are many keen buyers for everv good animal he can
rear. The best buyers will never ask if the animals for sale
are fashionably bred; they will judge of tbeir breeding hy
their looks', and if the breeder does not make a good price
for good cattle it will only be because he does not ask
enough and stick to his price. Really good cattle are not
thickly sown over the country; the drain upon this class for
foreign countries is great, and it reqnirts little foresight to
predict that "welVbied" Shorthorns have a great future be-
fore them.

may be blamed for making light of r^digree. Let me la a

value r-eyoud measure a good arimul from a stock of good
ancestors, and I hold he has a good pedigree.-JRobert Bruce,
in London Live-Stock Journal Almanac

The Boundary Chaoeed.

The Drovers* Journal, of Chicago, learns from Col. Pearson,
the Bureau of Animal Industry representative now at the
stock yardB. that the government authorities have decided
upon a new quarantine l>De for splenic or Texas fever.

Last year's line staited in Clayton countv. Arkan* a
above the 35th parallel, nn nortbwesterlv Through the Cher-
okee nation to the center of the Osage reservation then
southwesterly in a straight line, crossing Indian territory
diagonally to Wichita countv, Texas, and continuing through
the counties of Baylor, Haskell, Jones, XolaD, Tom Green
and Crocket to the southern boundary of Pecos county
below the 30th parallel

The new line starts at the northest coiner of Kansas, run-
ning due west along the Kansas southern bonndary to' "No
Man's Land," then directly south to Cottle conutv Texas
and due west on the :«th parellel to the center of Bailv coun-
ty, Texas. In other worns, the new quarantine line" places
n nder the ban a'l of Mian territory ;.ll of Texas except the
Panhandle portion lying north of the 30th parallel.

This move will please some, and it will diepnseofthe trou-
ble heretofore encountered of driving cattle from below the
line into Indian territory and shipping from there.

As it Should Be.

A representative of Xels Morris one of the "big four" in
the Chicago cattle market, was in the office of Young A- Kuhen
inquiring after beef steers and trying to convince those who
were there that Morris was one of the best friends the cattle-
men ever had. so good in factthat he would go out on the mar-
ket and buy cattle for more than the market price when he
did not want them just to koep the market up.

'■Well," said Col. Young, "I will look and see what I have
got. Here it is I can let you. have 900 head of two-year-old
steers at $13, 700 head of threes at $16, or 7o0 head of fours
and fives at :?£0."

Morris' man rubbed down his mustache a time or two and
remarked :

"I guess I will wait until figures get more our way."

"All right," answered thecolonel. "It is for us to say what
we will take and what you will give. No hard feelings, you
know. I said I would take $13 for the twos, but I would
take $14 if you would offer it. You see. it is just this way.
When we ship out cattle to Chicago we have to take just
what yon fellows offer us, if it is only S3 a head, but when
we get you down here we have something to say about what
we will take — that's the way of it."

The colonel was right, and if cattlemen would study his
concluding remark they would find it pregnant with sound
sense. Get the buyers here aud you will have something to say
about what vou will sell your cattle for. "If the mountain wi'l
not go tc Mahommed, Mahommed must go to the mountain."
If cattle are not shipped to the "big four.1' the "big four,"
will have to go where cattle are if they want them. Every
cock has an advantage on his own dugnhill that he has not
in his rival's territory, and is in better condition and has
more heart to defend his interests.

It might be tough on the cattlemen in the start, and for
some time afterwards to hold their cattle back, but if they
could only starve a little while the feast would surely come
to them iu the end. — Ft. Worth Gazette.

Saltless Butter.

On many occasions we have told it as a fact that the best
butter used in London aud Paris is entirely free from salt.
That information was gained many years ago from a visit
we made to these cities. Mr. Basham, a skilled English
dairyman who has just arrived in this country and made us
a visit, tells us that to-day no butter sells at or near the
top of the market in London that possesses a trace of salt
in it.

The butter of the very highest class he thinks is made in
England, but there is not much of it, representing the same
position probably that our dollar-a-pound dairy butter does.
The great bulk of tine butter he says comes from the north-
ern part of France and is made by the French farmers, col-
lected and worked together according to quality, has little
color and no ealt. Tbat is the pat butter to be seen on
the tables of the best hotfls aud restaurants of London.
This French butter comes to England in two pound rolls
end boxes containing twenty-four pounds and is exposed
for sale in the stores in this shape. Fine cheese cloth is
used for wrapping with pinked edge=, but only covering
about two-thirds of the top of the roll having a space open
for testing. Danish butter, he says, is more salt and takes
a rank below the Normandy or French rolls.

This evidencs bears ue out in the statement'tbat the world
is working toward htitter sweet and entirely free from salt.
Mr. Basham s»ty> tins is insipid butter to these accustomed
to sour milk butter freely salted, tint be also says those who
like the former eat two or three times as much of it as those
do who prefer the salted sonr milk article.

It may he said that New York is not the London and
Paris market, bnt only the last year the reported talks of
dairymen who supply the Boston market all ^ave evidence
of the strong tendency of the market toward butter without
salt, matiy of them fornisbicg it in that condition, ft wnq
only thp other day when tb« writ, r took dinner with a frieud
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, thin city, which our couDtry
friends know is the swell hotel in the city, and we noted
; vly the butter that it was Deftrly if not quite free
from any taste of Bait. Go into the highest c! , -
rants in the city, aud do you 11 cream

butter?" Not at all, everything id the establishment is of
delicate flavor, butter and all.

The dairyman who his -»u eyp to business will take a no'e
of this factaod measure his actions accordingly. — Amtvicrn

THE GUN.

The Game and General Situation.

It is not necessary to the existing situation to recite the
Game laws of the Stite concerning either fish, flesh or fowl.
Unprecedented rains and snows have deluged and covered
the State— the entire coast for that matter— to soch a con-
dition that as the quotation goes, as iu the midst of war,
between nations, tbe laws are silent, similarly amidst the
war of the elements all of Nature's regulations in ordinary
coarse are tumultuou^lv over-ridden. The waters of the
heavens have drenched the earth, and compelled the waters
of the earth to rise in disastrous greeting to submerge the
earth already oversoaked. The beautiful snow has made of
itself the dreaded snow, and in a shroud of white has cov-
ered aDd wrapped the giants of hill and mountain which over-
look the valleys and the plains, as in coverments which was
weary to all of human kind. These natural provinces of the
tributary streams which feed the rivers and the oceans, and
supply to the husbandmen the nourishment of prosperous
tillage and to all in traffic the means to transportation aui
commerce, have this sad Winder become as the lodgements
of the violent storms, and from these vantage heights have
plunged the avalanche) which have made the gorges of the
Sierras and of the Siskiyou to resemble the renowned valley
of Chamonia where from the towering Alps the vast Blides
are precipitated.

Railroads, bridges, dams, and artificial works of every kind,
have been as sacrifices to the extraordinary burst of tbe el-
ements. What the high lands could not resist, the low lands
are unable to withstand. To what man could not master
or meet, every creature of the earth has had to socaumb.
Fin, flesh and wing are in the category. The burrowing ro-
dentB have not escaped. It is the gratifying fact— the go-
phers are drowned almost to extermination for the year.
They will increase, but they will not formidably multiply
for the year to come.

With every specieB of game, whether of land or of water,
the trouble is apparent. The brutes which hibernate and
are privileged to prey at all seasons are the only exception. No
hunter has ever discovered the carcase of a bear snowed un-
der. Bruin haB his own special browBe upon his paws, on which
to tramp it in the open season and subsist during ;"ae close
season. His olaws are his clauseB of exemption. The ant-
lertd Bpecies fare not so well.

Crops and vegetation useful to man and beast will be so
much spared. It is a boon in view of the diminuition of
production. Philosophers, who retort from every evil some-
thing of good, and the optimists who argue that every
calamity ib a blessing in disguise, have now. their full swing of
delighting and uplifting remarks to console the downhearted
and cheer the despondent. Shakespeare's note, that '"the toad,
though ugly and venomous, yet weara a precious jewel
in its head," is solacing. "Every cloud has a silver lining,"
is as a bow of promise in the heavens, still we suffering mor-
tals, drenched and ohilled, the snow bound and the deluged,
pray fervently for the single glimpse of the white wing
which may in season blush to the golden hue which is assur-
ance of rich reward that every mortal strives for in the life
that is, while he heeds not the life that is everlasting, nor
can take with him thither the gold that would impart color
or make weight. There is a sound lesson — "out of the net-
tle danger, pluck the flower safety." The moral of it is, now
that the elements have manifested their powers; the genius
and ingenuity and study of California should be directed to
the betterment of all antecedent methods to meet and over-
come these elements. There was a deluge. It had its Noah
and the Omnipotent design. Noah and all that he had saved,
better peopled aDd occupied the earth. We^have had more
than the forty days and forty nights of rain — the biblical re-
cord has no account of snows, so that the fair inference is
that these piling stores of heavy wet are as the heaping of
the measure; and the indications are that tremendous interest
has accumulated in all the ageR which this generation is des-
tined to liquidate, or bd snowed under. Signal Service fails,
and there are no assets. "Old Probabilities" has sunk his
reputation to the condition below tbe shattering of the as-
trologers. Like the dreams of Kory O'More, his prognosti-
cations are safest when accepted by the rule of contraries.
"All signs fail in fair weather. " We pray for that order of
weather which shall not convince us that "the rain it raineth
every day," and in which the sign shall be of the old tavern
style." entertainment for man and beast "

They are the beast we think of, make intercession for. Tbe
unsophisticated youthful girl pupil who gave us the answer
to the question direct. "Tell me of beaBts," th^t "all living
creatures are beasts; brutes are imperfect beasts; man is the
only perfect beast," taught her preceptor a new theory of
instinction. As the little girl answered to the question of the
reverend Father, "what is matrimony?" and had her mind
set upon the answer as to purgatory — that it was "a middle
Btate of suffering for soules" — so it is with the germs and
species to be classed as beasts. Are fish to be sociaBBed? Is
a whale a fish? What shall be said of the whale which took
in Jonah? Would any other than a beast or a bunko sharp
have done that thing? Fishes swim Id the vasty deep;
sport in shallower waters. The whale comes up lo blow or
spout. How like the "perfect beast? He is the rising poli-
tician of the great salt sea. Sharks and other species attack
him and devour him. The simile holds good. One touch
of Nature makes all mankind kin." The harpoon of the
"perfect beast" of the whaler 6ignifieB to the whole that also
is the "perfect beast" of the blubber hunter in touch with
him — even to going through his vitals.

There is a distinction, yet hardly a difference, between
hunting offal and hunting office. It is the whole which
blows and sponta. The sharks and othera are direct on busi-
ness. Business is the means to pleasure, and tbe longer is
the enjoyment. Pleasure has its days; business keeps right
on.

But all this is not of game quality. I am getting to it.
Game itself is getting gamey this extraordinary season. As
tbe Chinaman remarked, "No caD catchee, how can bave3."
The game laws require no improvement. There are no of-
fenders. Cause why, principally, they can't;Mastly, as Doghe-
ny put it, there isn't any game swimming, running or flying;
and secondly, nothing of the kind will pan out or pay. It
may be called 1 the close open season, temporarily closed on
account of the weather. Deer bide, every winged creature
except the geese and duoks, don't obtrude; and the mute tiBh
experience what it is to have a rush of waters and h flood of
adversity. The Fish Commissioners are in the anomalous
condition of being afloat as they are kept at home. Callun-
dan and his deputies are housed and in the swim. What is
the use? Mountain avalanches of Bnows sweeping away
storages of spawn; swollen and roaring rivers Burmonnting
their accustomed banks, and the ordinary means of travel
impossible — what are any of them to do? To do nothing,
and to do it gracefully and effectually is the best that jb left

them to do. The elements are their obstructionists, and be-
tween the elements and man the yielding place is with man.
Senator Eoutier and his colleague. Hon. Mr. Harvey
of the Fish Commission are unresignedly resigned to
their compulsory inactivity to restive degree; Cal-
lundan and his assistants are as pike in pickle,
and still the rivers rise and their tributaries roar as audi-
ences delighted to encore and swell the volume as the rains
pour and the snows, like Zacoheus. come down.

In the very ancient and mythic il war of the Titans the
giant gods threw rocks and smashed things generally. The
railroads appear now to be the objects of the fury of the ele-
ments. Bravely do they withstand the terror of snow and
rain Driving through avalanches, removing landslides,
compelling floods and washouts to make way, the iron horse,
harnessed to the cyclone steeds of the rail, hitched to the
snow plow, and combatting every obstruction with Bteam and
brain, with skill and pluck, with endurance and toil, wins
the right of road, restores travel aud communication, main-
tains the linking of the continent from the Pacific to the At-
lantic, battles for the longitudinal line from California to
Oregon, and contests with valley floods and mountain snows
the whole way through from San Francisco to Puget Sound.

There is game all along the route— the game of the water
aud the land; the heroic game of men. This winter will tell
the etory. It will be of enduring record. The oldest native
Californian recollects no equal to it. The youngest of the
native born will probably never have experience of itB par-
allel in the allotted age of man. It is phenomenal.

King Richard was premature in his "Now is the winter of
our discontent." Shakespeare ought to have awaited events.
Yet the glorious summer of the markets of New York and the
increasing demands of the East for the fruits of this golden
West will uplift «nd bring out Bhiniug prosperity at last.
The wines of California will cheer, the superior horses of
California will speed the greeting; the "glorious climate" of
the State will yet entice, and the wild game of the coast will
have its charm.

Student and Sportman's Club.

A special meeting of the clab was held Wednesday evening
of last week to listen to the report of the committee on con-
ference with the proposed Athletic Club of Bakersfield. Its
recommendations, clause by clau e, were unanimously adopt-
ed. Then the names of Senator E. Wolcott of Colorado, Sen-
ator Leland Stanford, Hon. Charles N. Felton, Hon. John
Sanford, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Gen. William Shaeffer
and Gen. E. F. Beale weru presented for membership. A
communication from Truxton Beale was read, which stated
that ex-Gov, Stanford had expressed himself very much in-
terested in the olub aud its object and would see that the
railroad company aid it by refusing to carry eny kind of
game, deerskins, etc., (out of season, of course) as freight
and that it would gladly help in any other way that the club
should suggest.

The letter stated further, that if the club felt so disposed,
efforts would be made to have the government allow some of
the buffalo now in the Yellowstone Park, to be located either
upon the lands of Gen. Beale or upon Haggin & Carr's pro-
perty, under the care of the elub, as a blizzard or a hard
winter might destroy tbeni all where they now are. The
matter was referred to a committee, which was given full
power to act in the premises.

An interesting discussion followed, resulting iu a very im-
portant step being taken by the club. Preservation of the
timber in the high Sierras and upper watersheds of Kern
river is a vital matter, and recently has been a subject of
petition to tbe authorities at Washington. It was decided
that if all of the country on the upper Kern, above a certain
altitude to be hereafter 'determined upon, should be taken
possession of by the government and declared a game pre-
serve tbe desired results would be accomplished. Messrs.
H. A.Blodget, W. E. Houghton aud H. C. Park were ap-
pointed a committee to consider the matter and urge upon
the eastern and other iunueutial non-resident members, con-
certed action to that end.

Editor Claude King, of substantial Sports Afield, in hiB

know it. We have followed Mr. King since his salutatory,

clear title to general regard at the hands of Bportsmen.

In Baja California.

"Wake np, Gus.:*

"All right; I'm with you."

And hearing him moving about the room I ran across to
the stable, soon had Santa hooked up to the cart, and in a f?w
minutes Gus and Sam came over clad in overcoats, hunting
boots, etc., with De (Sam's pointer) frisking at their heels. ' It
took us only a few seconds to get under way, and long before
day broke we were well on our way towards old Mexico, fif-
teen miles south of National City, bound on a quail hunt,
and determined to make this the hunt of the season, as the
1st of March was getting very close at band, and we should
have to drop field work after that date until next September.

Down across the Sweetwater Valley, throngh Chula Vista,
past Otay, and daylight found us near tbe Mexican Custom
House at tbe line, and after being overhauled by tbe Mexi-
can guards stationed there, we were allowed to pass, and
away we went up the first big canyon to the right, some five
or sis miles, until we came to a water hole in the middle of
the valley, which was overhung by two or three huge Byca-
more trees, making as pretty a campground as one could
wish for.

"Now, boys, here we are, aud if we don't bill some birds
to-day it's our own fault. Just look at that!" I said, as
about one hundred birds got up with a whirr all around us
as we pulled up under one of the trees. And as we were
unhitching we could hear on all sides the clear notes of hun-
dreds of California quails. The ground waa simply superb,
level as a floor, very little cactus (that bane of California
quail shooting), and the cover consisted of tar weeds and
brush not over three feet high.

"We were in the centre of a valley about three miles wide,
and it seemed as though tbe supply of quail was inexhausti-
ble, to judge from the tracks we could see on every hand.
The dogs could hardly be kept quiet while we were getting
ourselves into hunting trim, and when we left camp about
six o'clock with old Sol just commencing to disperse the
night vaporp, and with the knowledge that we had all day
before us, accoutreed with an abundance of shells and with
hundreds of quails calling on every side, three good dogs,
wild to get to work, no wonder we felt our muscles swell and
our blood bound along through our veins with a thrill that
put every sense on the alert as we oalled to the dogs "Hie
on, sir," and with a plunge away went De wi'h Trix and
Countess through the undergrowth, and we hadn't got fifty
yards away from the camp until De "froze" solid as a rock,
and before we could get close enough to get action on him,
up jumped at least a hundred birds, and as they got up away
went another covev on the right of as many more.

"Mark."

"All right."

"I'm on," we answer, and away wnt the dogs again, per-
fectly frantic, with their owners not much belter.

"Look there, Ad," and sure enough, Trix was all out of
shape, backed by the pointer Countess. "Steady, sir, steady,
old fellow," and I walked slowly up until I was withio eight
or ten feet of the dogs, when out with a "en t, cut, cut" and
a whirr, jumped a couple of quail, and as I pulled on the
right hand bird I heard Sam away on my left turn loose
with his old No 10 Parker, and wheeling I saw the air just
full of birds, rising on all sides. Banq! went my left barrel,
and breaking tbe gun, I slipped in two more shells and was
juBt in time to make aB clean a miss as any one very well
oould make on an old cock who went hurtling away from un-
der my dog's nose, twisting like a veritable old "long bill"
does under a stiff March wind. "Won't do, old man," says
Gus, and as a bird gets up under his feet and starts off he
swings his gun onto him, and before he can pull the trigger,
bur-r-r! away go about a dozen birds from right under his
gun, and Gus frantically tries to cover first one and then the
other, until when he does shoot, the nearest quail is about
seventy-five yards away, aud just everlastingly making the
air hum as he goes through it.

"Ha, ha! there, found that hole, did you?" I call out, and
Gus, with a rather unpleasant remark about game birds iu
general, swings off towards Sam, who is just piling into the
quail right and left.

"This won't do," I think, and I call Trix and Countess in
and work along cautiously towards the right, where I bad
marked down at least a hundred birds. Trix is quartering
finely when around come6 bis nose until the point of his tail
and his nose are within an inch of each other. "Who-a-p,
sir, steady, Countess," and as my bird gets up and I wait nn-
til I can be certain that I don't tdar him all to pieces anil
then "let him go,"what solid satisfaction one feels as he sees
the bird double up and cume down, and as your retriever
fetches to hand and you bug yoor bird and throw your ham*
merleBS forward with a '*Hie on," you wouldn't change places
just then, with the greatest ruler on earth.

But away goes another bird, quartering away to the left,
and I pile him up about forty yards away, and look over to
see how the boys are getting on. I don't need to look to find
out whether they are getting any shooting or not as the con-
tinued bang, bang, of their guns attests the fact that they are
very busy.

The birds are lying finely now, and I don't go over twenty
feet until both dogs are standing, and as two birds break away
aud are successively brought to trrra jirmat and the dogl
start to retrieve, and both draw down again on two different
quail, I mentally exclaim, ' Oh! that I could only put this r»n
canvas!" I have shot quail all over Southern California, bat
this day's outing in old Mexico beats them all.

The supply of birds seem inexhaustible, and it is not long
before I turn towards camp loaded down and out of shells
(I left camp with sixty in my coat); there I find Sam bent on
the Fame errand.

"Did you ever see auy thing like this, " be says, as he
wipeB off his mauly brow, and old De hunts the shade of .the
sycamore.

"Grand indeed," I reply, aud we commence to unload
birds, fill up our pockets with shells, aud after we have
opened a bottle of Auheuser-Busch, we strike out again over
the same ground.

"How is Gus making it?"T ask. "Why didu't he come
in?"

"Well, you know this is his first season, and be don't
shoot as fast as we do, but I saw him do some mighty good
shooting over there, and was just enjoying himself hugely."

We walk along about a hundred yards further, coming near
to an elderberry tree, and Sam Bays:

"Good Lord! Ad, look there!" and I wheel quickly around
only to see, it seems to me, a thousand quail rise with a
mighty whirr, only to settle down not over another hnudred
yards iD front of us. I look at Sam, and J?am looks at me.

"I'm going back for the balance of my shells," Sam says.
"I don't want to lose auy time going back to camp after we
get into them."

"Oh. oome on!"

"No siree!" and away he goes, and I swing along until a
bird gets up right in front of me, only to plunge downward

again as the Parker 12 spits an ounce of No. S's into him
before he geth 30 yar^p away. I work along into a little
depression io tbegrorna, and there I find Ons seated nnder
a wide spreading mebquitc bush fanning himself with his
straw hu\ (Its too warm in Mexico to hunt with any other
kind of ntad covering).

'•Well Outsie, how is it?" I ask, as I join him.
"Wrl', I've got nearly two dozen birds, and as its nearly 11
o'clock, t'm going to camp and have a drink and a bite to
eai before I get used up. I never saw so many quail in my
life before, and I don't understand how it is that none of San
Diego's market hunters have got in here before this."

"Probably they are not on," I reply; l,bnt, Gus, you are
shooting finely. By George! if you keep on, some of our
local champions will have to look out. A. man who haB
never shut a gnu off a dozen times in his life until thisBeason,
that can take the field as you have to-day, and bag 24 quail
by «veu Doon, and kill every bird in the air, is not to be
sneezed ft." And Gus tries to blush as he starts towards
cauip, but as he is of rather a florid complexion, and his late
exertions has rendered bis face the color ot a red, red beet,
tbe attempts is a dismal failure.

About tbis time I see De come tearing through the brush
ahead of Sam, and I pull myself together, knowiog that I
have about two hours hard work ahead of me.

"I kDewyou would want it,' he remarks, as he gently
twisted the handle of his corkscrew after inserting the sorew
into a bottle of oool beer which he takes out of his inner
pocket, "because I'm not going back to that wagon until I'm
shot out, and you've got to stay with me too, old Bon, or I'll
roast you when we get back to town. You have been giving
it to me long enough, my boy. Now look out for yourself
or I'll wipe your «ye."

And ho took out of a aaok all the loaded shells I had left in
camp and turned them over to me.

"We'll cache tbem, Ad, until we shoot our pockets empty,
go we won't have to carry too many."

"Well, <\s you seem to have arranged it all yourself go
ahead." I returned and away we went.

"Two to on-? on the gun on the first quail that flushes,"
says Sam, and as he has no takers, we work along Bilently
for a minute or two, when a bird gets np so suddenly right
under my gun, that ere I am aware of it I have pulled into
him and literally torn him into fragments.

"What in thunder are you doing Ad," says Sam disgusted-
ly, as the pieces of quail, feathers, etc., come down about a
dozen feet away. "I don't see any use in acting the hog that
way," he continues, as I laugh. "Sam you were too anxious
to wipe my eye that time," and I don't get the words fairly
out before whirr goes Mr. Quail up from under hi-ifeet, and I
turn as his gun speaks, only to catch sight of a fluff in the
air as Sam tears his bird all to pieces.
"What's the matter with you," 1 yell.
"Ad, I couldn't help it; I had to shoot!" he says, and we
both laugh, and as we get into the birds, we gradually get
further apart and now I find myself in the prcttieat cover
you ever saw, and as I don't travel over twenty yards be
tween shots, it can be seen that I am having a regular picnic.
It is not loug until I am loaded down and I turn back to
our cache and unload some thirty quail and till my pockets
with shells, but after shooting half an hour or so longer I
made up my mind to hunt camp and lay off for an hour aa the
sun is boiling down on me and it is just after noon and oh,
so hot.

1 find Gus in camp coolly taking his ease, and as the blue
clouds of smoke float away over his head from his fragrant
Havana, as he lies on his back in the shade, with his hands
clasped under his head, he looks too comfortable for any
thing.

"Used up?" he asks as I drop hunting coat and gun
and throw myself on the ground beside him.

"No," I reply "but this is too nice a ground to use up in
half a day, and as we don't want to start home until nearly
dark, we have lots of time to get our work in this after-
noon.

"Eight you are'' and we open another bottle of "choke
bore" and silently enjoy a long, strong pull at it, and Gus
continues "I wish Sam was here; it would be more sociable;
I wonder what he is about; I have'nt heard him ahoot for
some time.

"Should'nt wonder if he was headed this way now," I re-
mark and sure enough in a few minutes Sam shows up
laughing.

"Thought you was going to use up your shells before

"Oh, you go to blazes" he breaks in, and Gus and I join
in tbe laugh.

"Well boys, lets count up and see what we have done,"
says I, and I turn out 72 birds; Sam shows up as many more
counting from bis pockets and Back, and after Gas had added
22, Sem qnitely drew one eyelid down, and pulled out a doz-
en extra from inside his shirt and Back.

"Got yon on the hip, to-day," he says, and turns to me
with a laugh.

"Wait till night, Sam, don't be in a hurry" I reply as we
pile our 178 quail in three heaps and commence to draw
them.

"All right, old boy" after our present job Is completed
we feed the dogs and refresh our inner selves with more
lunch and loll around until we can feel the cool afternoon
breeze come up the valley from the ocean making us feel
like new men.

"Come, boys," and once more we don coats and grasp our
guns' and start a'resh more quail to slaughter.

I have only a hundred shells left, and, (we left town with
about 700 shell?, and lest some ot my readers doubt my story
let me tell them that in this vioinity no quail hunter thinks
of going out for a day's shoot on quail with Isbs than a hun-
dred and frequently with two or three hundred shells) know-
ing that fact make a mental resolvd to be more oareful this
afternoon, but the first three birds that gets up I miss clean,
and it is only after a dozen hits and misses in succession
that I steady down to hard work.

I hear the other boys pounding away and it nerves me up
so that by the time I have shot away fifty shells I am getting
there in great shape, and very few birds fail to come to earth
as my butt plate strikes my shoolder after Mr. Quail gets up.
If there were plenty of birds in the morning, there are
myriads in the afternoon, for hundreds come down from the
surrounding hills and mesas toward the water hole where we
were camped. As the afternoon wanes, and before four
o'clock, I have exhausted my nundred shells and make my
way towards camp perfectly satisfied with my day's shoot.

There I count out sixty-five qnail for my afternoon's work
and feel that I have done very well, particularly as Sam com-
ing in only shows up fifty five, thus only doing me up two
birds. As Sam is counted one of our champions, I naturally
feel elated. Gus, too, has made an extraordinary bag for a
novice, killing in all 4 J- dozen, and having plentj of Bhells
left. But as we are all tired, we decide to pull out for home,
which we do, getting into National City about S o'clock in

the evening, where we eit down to an elegant supper ordered
"afore hand," and over our roast joint and clnret we recount
the events of the day and kill over again some lusty old cock,
as he gets np under our dog's nose away down in old Mexico.
San Diego, March 2, '90. Trtx.

Perplexity is onrs, for the reason that an enthusiastic
0wner of an IriBh setter by Mr. Truman's Rush T. — Lady
Eloho T. sends to us a card inscribed "Arthur Allan Brig^s,
Sierra City, California, February 1st, 1890." We recall the
existence of a brother in Sierra City; a Benedict; and not a
bad fellGw withal, and in the absence of any explanatory line
conclude that the house of Briggs is waxing in the land.

Mr. J. S. Fanning of this city has gone North on a seal
shooting trip with Captain MiDer, on the sealing Bchooner
AUie J. Alger, of Seattle, Wash. He made a similar trip
laBt year that was quite successful, thanks to his superior
marksmanship, and we hope he will return from his pres-
ent venture loaded with pelts and profiis in time to partici-
pate in the next meeting of the State Sportsman's Associa-
tion.

There will be a grand pigeon shoot at Lathrop on Wednes-
day, March 12th. All matches will be governed by the Amer-
ican Association Shooting Rales of 1890. Prizes to be divided
according to number of entries, viz : 5 entries or less two-
thirds and one-third; 6 to 9 entries 50, 30 and 20 per cent;
10 or more entries 40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent.

FirBt match— Six single live birds. Entrance, $2 50.

Second match — Five pairs double live birds. Entrance,
$5 00.

Third match — Fifteen single live birds. Entrance, $7 50

Fourth match — Freeze out at live birds. Entrance, $2 50.

Fifth match — 15 single and 5 pair double clay birds. En-
trance $2 50.

Plenty ot live and clay birds will be on hand and the pub-
lic are asBurea of a good day'B sport. Shoofing to begin at
10 o'clock Scarlett and Howland will act as managers and
the buccoss of the meeting is consequently assured.

The Board of Fish Commissioners.

The regular meeting of the Fish Commission, held on
Tuesday afternoon last at 220 Sutter street, was verypioperly
confined to consideration of Buch matters as were urgent, for
the reason that the much regretted demise of Colonel J. Mer>
vyn Donahue, a relative of Hon. J. Downey Harvey, indis-
posed that gentleman for more tbao rigid duty. The minutes
of the preceding meeting wereapproved.

The demand for $150 for legal services from Mr. Henry
Hogan in the matter of the State vs. the Sawyer Tanning
Company of Napa was then audited and the Board resolved
to stand in favor of paying Mr. Hogan $100.

The monthly report of Chief of Patrol F. P. Callundan
was then read as follows:
The Honorable, the Board of Fish Commissioners: —

Gentlemen, In obedience to your order the monthly re-
port of the Chief of Patrol for February is sutmitled.

Comparatively little has been done for the reason that tbe
prevailing high waters have prevented successful fishing by
Chinese and others who practice illegal methods.

Three Chinese have been arrested during the month, and
are now in jail in this County pending a hearing, all of them
for having tbe young of fish in possession.

The appeal cases of the Chinese recently convicted at Mar-
tinez remain in statu quo, but Assistant District Attornt-y
Wells of Contra Costa County is about to move actively in
the matter, and a speedy consummation is anticipated.

Your Deputy at Eureka,iHnmboldt County, has plaoed the
officers of the gas oompany of that city under arrest for per
mitting tar and other Deleterious substances to pass into
waterB of the State. Publio sentiment is strongly with Dip-
uty Smith, and he is quite sure of convicting his men.

Deputy Ennis has been very efficient in watching the city
for doe and fawn skins, and reports that none have been
received here during the month.

Sinoe March 1st, upon which day the open season for
quails closed, the San Franciseo markets have been regular-
ly inspected, and it is a gratifying evidence of the success at-
tained by your Honorable Board to be able to report that no
quails can now be had, and that the dealers generally offer
positive assurances that they will refuse to receive or handle
quails until Septemter 10th next.

The Cold Storage Company of this city has no quails on
storage and will receive none, so that that door to annoyance
and legal complications is closed.

Thrte days of last week were passed in Marin County by
three of your Deputies in the hope of finding Bomeof the per-
sons said to be taking salmon trout and other trout from the
streams of that County. It was only with the utmost difficulty
that the fishing grounds could be reached, and when they
were reached no fishermen were found. There remain sever-
al creeks to be visited, and your Deputies will go to them at
an early day. Deputy Herzog, at Bethany, reports high
water and little fishing at that point.

During the month he found and took possession of two
Chinese sturgeon lines — one with 216 hooks and the other
with 400 hooks. Both lines were taken in Middle river.

Deputy Herzog desires your honorable Board to provide
him with oil, to be used as fuel upon his steam launch. He
states that the consumption, while in active service, is about
50 gallons in three days, and requests that 250 gallons be
sent to him, or enough to keep him supplied for 15 dajB.

He also reports that he has located five gangs of Chinese
of seven men to tbe gang, all working under one boss or
superintendent. All of these men are located in the sloughs
between Old river and Middle river; have their camps made,
and are ready to fish as soon as the water falls sufficiently.

After consultation with Assistaht District Attorney White
of Stockton, Deputy Herzog states that he considers it advis-
able to take all persons arrested by him to Stockton for trial.
The nearest justice is at Tracy, bat it would be quite impos-
sible to secure the presence of the District Attorney at a trial
held there.

Deputy Thomas Tunstead is constantly on doty about the
markets, and among tbe wharves and commission houses.
Keepectfully submitted, F. P. Callondan,
Chief of Patrol.
The report was approved and filed as read. The Board
upon suggestion of President Joseph Routier resolved to
purchase two hundred dozens of quail and distribute them in
Los Angeles, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Napa and Sacramento
counties. Immediate applications fir tbe birds were invited
from persons controlling places where they could be pro-
tected for four or five years. A communication from Mr.
0 H. Eigenmann, tbe pisioulture of the coast, was received
in which it was stated that two fronts, the Balmoiridueus
and the salmo gairdneri were found in the coast streams of
California. After consideration of the regular monthly bills
and the usual orders, tbe Commission adjourned to meet on
the first Tuesday in April at the same place.

The Occidental Coursing Club meets at Newark to-day to
run off a sixteen dog aged stake for tight dogs. The meet-
ing offers great attractions ano should be largely attended.

J. L. Miller of Bakersfield, waB busy about this city all last
week laying in goods for a store whioh he is about to open in
that town. Between purchases he found time for a little
recreation of mild sorts.

Forest and Stream receives regular contributions now from
Mr. James Watson who judged non-sporting dogs at the
Pacific Kennel Club show in '88. The journal is to be con-
gratulated upon the addition of a writer so learned, suc-
cinct and inciBive. He has few peers and no superiors.

Mr. J. F. Hughes of Guinda, Capay Valley, was out with
Joe M. Bassford, Jr., in the last week of February, shooting
over Sankey (Point — BloBsom), and Joe's pup by Mountain
Boy — Beautiful Queen. Mr. Hughes writes to Mr. William
Sohreiber. owner of Mountain Boy, that the pup backed at
his first opportunity, and "all around" was, he thought, the
"best pup in the State." Sankey hasrecovered from his recent
dose of bird Bhot and did splendid work, a faot that will be
learned with pleasure by the many who admired him in the
field trials at Bakersfield. It is a pity tbat Beautiful Queen
and Mountain Boy cannot be again crossed. They are both
rare good hunting dogs and strong breeders.

A Present of English Trout Bfifgs for America.

There is a desire on the part of our American cousins to
get that fine game and table fish, the European trout, S. fa-
rio, or brown trout, acclimatised to stock trout streams from
which the native brook trout, or 8. fontinalis (which is a
ohar), has disappeared, or is disappearing. Several consign-
ments of eggs have been Bent to America from Eugland,
Scotland and Germany. Some years ago we presented Amer-
ican anglers, through the American sporting paper Forest
and Stream, with ten thousand eggs of tbe best English
trout bred by Mr. T. Andrews of Guildford. To-dtiyl ten
thousand eggs sent as a present by ub to America leave Liv-
erpool in the steamship "Arizona." Thev are forwarded
free of charge by Messrs Thos. Meadows & Co., European
representatives of the American Express Co , to Mr. Fred
Mather, to be hatched at Ins hatchery on Long Island.

We have asked Mr. A. Nelson Cheney, editor of Shooting
and Fishing, kindly to dispose of these eggs, whioh are alBo
from Mr. Andrews' celebrated fish breeding establishment.
From a few hundred English trout eggs sent out to New
Zealand by the late Francis Francis, of the Field, the whole
of New Zealand has been stocked with trout, whii-h grow
much larger than tbeir English ancestors. We confidently
hope tbe Bame success will be met with in America, and only
truBt the Americans will call the fish "brown trout," and
not by any foreign name, as has been suggested. — Editor if,
B. Marston, in English Fishing Gazette.

[When that robust and genial angling confrere Cheney is
casting for places to Bend the "brown trout," let him keep
California in mind. Ever running, snow-fed, food-glutted
streams abound in these parts, and anglers too. — Ed.]

that each of the animals brought on the first day of the sale
The first animal led out was Alca*ar. A bid of Sln.OOO was

that price bidding was by thousands until the »18,000 mark
was reached, then it mounted to $ IS. 100, when there was a

horse he had ever bred. Then the bidding proceeded, with
Bobert Steele of Phildelphia, E. A.Tipton (Secretary of Lex-

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED PT ARPtUPPtJS,

SUMMARY.

The first out-door pamas of the Alpine Club on Sunday
last were a success. The athletes have commenced to train
for the opening g-tmes of the Olympic ithletic Clab. The
Long-Henceruan boat race is causing Great excitement in
rowing circles. Judging from the present out-look, several
of the Pacific Coast records which we print below will Deed
to be changed before the year is over.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETS.

A tug of war for Married vs. Single members will be added
to the O. 0. programme for Deoora'iou Day.

Walter Scoit is thinking of donniDg his sx>ikes again this
Beaton. He has been out of practice for a loDg time, and
should not neglect to train before meetiDg Cooley, MoArthur
and H. C. Cassidy.

The Alpine runners say that if Captain George W. Jordan
makes up his uiiod to ratrle his stop watch they will gladly
buy up all the chances.

Johu D. Garrison surprised the boys with his great show
of speed on Sunday. Handioapper Jordan gave a knowing
wink each time the Alpine sprinter breasted the tape.

The Olympic Cinb's Championship team are being mus-
tered up already. The following men bave promised to
train faithfully: Scott, McArtuur, Espinosa, Cooley, CofBq,
Jarvis, Henderson, O'Kane, Casady, and McGee, Pnrcell
and Scbifferstein may also help the Club out.

AT THE OARS.

The fine weather on Sunday moruging was highly appre-
ciated by the oarsmen, and a good many cr«ws were out for
a practice spin.

The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Clab held its high
jinks on Sunday. The house was crowded all day long.

One week from to-morrow Charley Long and Henry Hen-
ceman will straggle for first place over the Alameda mole
course. So far the betting has been light but a couple of
days previous to the race there is no doubt but that several
thomaDd dollars will be staked. Both men are in fine trim
and the betting is about even,

LAWN TENNIS.

The second prize in the handicap tournament was finally
wou by the Magee brothers, after a hard battle with Harrison
and Yates.

The directors of the California Club will try to get up a
ladies championship tournament if enough players can be
induced to enter.

There still weemB to be a doubt about the championship
J .irmmeut beiog held at San lltfael. The majority of the
I '*iyers favor San Kifael aud the chances are the touroameat
Lo held there.

JOTTING FROM ALL OYER.

The annual handicap decided at Sheffield, Eng., on Feb,,
17 and for which several American sprinters were entered
wa* won by Jauies Collins, the western flyer, whose defeat
in the previous handicap in which he took part there was
so great a surprise to his friends here.

A, G. Mills has resigned as a mem her of the Board of Go-
vernors of the New York Athlr tic Club, and also as a delegate
from that organization to the Amateur Athletic Union.

John Kotherman has been elected president of the Scottish
American Athletic Club, of Jersey, vice Henry Keagan,
resigned.

The annual boxing tournament of tho New York Athletic
Club will begin this evening.

The competitions for the Western Amateur Athletic Asso-
ciation championship in boxing and wrestling, took place at
Kt. Lonis, Mo., on the night of Feb., 20. Thore was a large
gathering of athletes and others, and the contests were watch-
ed with much interests some of ths competitions being very
excitiDg. The winners were: BoxiDg— 1301b and under,
Pteve Mallory, Missouri GymDa6iom; 130 to 1401b, Joseph
E. Stewart, Missouri Gymnasium: 140 to 1501b, Harry
Brown. P. A. C; 150 to 1601b, John Victor; 1601b and over,
John Victor, for Harry Morris. Wrestling — 1301b aod under
Ed. Barth, Missouri Gymnasium; 130 to 1301b, B. A. Mc-
Faddeu, M. A. A. C; 140 to 1501b, John C. Meyers, M. A.
A. C. 150 to 1601b Johu Schran, Missouri Gymnaaium; 1601b
and over, George Baptiste, M. A. A. C.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

At a meetiug of the Board of Directors of the Tennis Club,
held on Weluesday afternoon. February 2Gth, the following
action was taken in regard to the tournament voted by the
club. The date was set for Saturday, March 8th. As there
will be from eight to twelve entries, it is an assured fact that
the entire afternoon will be consumed at the two courts.
There will be some exciting sets, as all the players play about
the same sort of game. Several visitors are expected over
from San Francisco.

The Occident, the official organ of the University, in the
last issue, makes some rather hard assertions regarding the
Olympic Clab. It stated that at a meeting of the associat«d
students, held on the previous Wednesday, it was decided
to withdraw from the P. C. A. A. A. in tho event of the
championship games b, ing held later than May 30th. It
can scarcely be considered the fault of the O. C. if the annual
championship meeting is not held on the regular aate, May
30tb, and the associate clubs should bear in miod that the
O. C established its new grounds for its own members, and
not solely for the benefit of the P. C. A. A. A. The Olympic
Club, if broached in the proper manner, might consider the
matter in a favorable light, but we doubt if any good result
will come from threatening. The Olympic athletes are not
quite as fearful of the Btudents as the Ojcident would have
its readers believe, and if the University boys had the inter-
est of their club at heart as much as the Olympic members
have, then the fact that vacation had commenced should not
prevent them from training. The kick, under the circum-
stance, appears to be a very unieasonable one, and the
Berkeley champions should not be so uncivil towards their
brethren on this side of the bav.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

The Garden City Athletic Club of San Jo=e, Cal., an or-
ganization founded through the exertions of Mr. Victor E-
Schjfferstein of the Olympic Club of Ssn Fiancisco, was ad-
mitted into the P. C. A. A. A. at the last meeting of that
body.

On account of the new rules adopted by the P. C. A. A.
A. the Gulden Gate Athletic Clab will not tbe represented
at the next championship meeting.

There are now eight bona tide Amateur Athletic Clubs in
the P. O. A. A. A. and keen competition may be expected in
the future.

The new grounds of the Olympic Club will be entirely
ready for the members' use in about four weeks. The truck
is now iu condition but the club house and handball court
are not quite finished.

The membership of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club is
rapidly increasing and there is a talk of limiting the mem-
bership after 250 names have been signed to the roll.

A meeting of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association
was held in tbe parlor of the Olympic Club on Friday eve-
ning Feb. 23, Walter A. Scott occupied the chair.

Secratary J. J. Jamison requests that a temporary secretary
be appointed iu his place as he ^desires a chance to defend
his club whicb was to be tried that evening for violating the
rules of the association, E P. Mosdy one of the detegetes
frjm the Pacific Athletic Club was appointed secretary pro tern.
Delegates from the following associate clabs were present;
Olympic, Golden Gate, Acme, Alameda Olymp c, Alpine, Pa-
cific, Kelianoe and Pacific. The trial o£ the Golden Gate
Athletic Club was begun. W, P. Lawlor of the O. C. ques-
tioned delegate Jamison at length and it was finally decided
to lay the case over another week in order to allow tbe G. G.
A. C. a chance to enter or withdraw from the association.
Immediately afte/ the adjournment of the regular meeting a
special meetiug was called for the purpose of taking action on
tbe application of the Sau Jose, Cal. Garden City Athletic
Club. After it wsb decided that tbe application was correct-
ly made out the Garden City club was admitted to member-
ship.

The first in-door exhibition of the Alpine Amateur Athletic
Club was held at the club rooniB, 706 Powell St., od Thurs-
day evening, Feb. 27th. The club had only been iu tbe
building a couple of days previous to the exhibition aud the
committee in charge of tbe affair deserve credit for theirquick
work. The gymnasium, which was lit up by powerful eleo-
tric lights, was packed and even standing room was at a
premium. President M. C, Giry officiated as master of cere-
monies. It was pleasing to observe that the usual ring was
missing Amateurs can exhibit on the floor just as well with-
out as with the ring.

The exhibition began about 8:30, with a parallel bar act
by Messrs. Cherry, Barr and Edwards. The trio received
unbounded applause for their fine w*ork.

Next came boxing by Messrs. Kramer and Rochette. These
young men gave an exceedingly clever exhibition, Rochette
appearing to the best advantage. Smith and Cook boxed
three ronnds aud tbeir scientific bouts were loudly encored.
Messrs, Bair, Edwards and Henry performed some hard feats
on the rings and J R Collins and Otto Lunn sparred three
lively rounds.

The champion bantam weight of the club, J McLaughlin,
faced Turnbull, another amateur of some note and both men
deBerved the applause which they received for their quick,
clean hitting and scientific duckiDg.

Mr. Dooly proved {that he Could swing clnbs as well as
any professional and he fell in for his share of hand dapping.

Messrs, Kennedy and McSweeney boxed three good rounds
and raised themselves in the estimation of the audience.
Messrs. Barr, Edwards and Henry exercised their muscle on
the horizontal bar in great style and their act was well re-
ceived. Charles Vultee, Charles Armbruster, E P Yonng and
Hogan competed in a running high jump. Vultee cleared
the bar at 5.t 2in, Hogan 5ft and Armbrnster at 4ft 10m.

Vultee gave exhibitions of standing higb,aud bopping high
jumps. With proper practice he should make a first rate
jumper. The closing event of tbe evening was a foor-ronnd
Bet to b9tween J SLeeban and Ed Morrissey. This promised
to be the most interesting item ou tbe programme but un-
fortunately Sbeehau sprained bis wrist at the beginning of
the third rouod. The first two rounds were hot; each man
proving that be was not afraid of the other. The next in-door
exhibition of tbe club will be given about the first week in
April.

There will be a general meetiug of the ilpioe Club on
Thursday evening, March 13th, at 8 o'clock.

THE WHEELMEN

The party of whedmen who intended trying the roads on
Sunday laBt were prevented od account oi the gloomy Btate
of tbe weather.

There will shoitly be a meeting of the bicycle men to con-
sider the ways and means of holding a race meeting on Dec-
oration Day.

Tbe next regular meeting of tbe Oakland Bicycle Club will
be held at 1857 San Jose aveDue, Alameda, Cal., on Tuesday
evening, March 11, 1890, at 8 o'clock.

Alpine Field Day.

A Fine Programme of Sports at Harbor V.'ew.

The games of the Alpine Athletic Club, which, on account
of the bad weather, had to be postponed from February 16th,
were successfully decided at Harbor View Park on Sunday
last. When the sports began at 2 30 p. m. at leaat 1,200 peo-
ple, many of whom were ladies, were in the Park. The club
members were not prepared for such a big rush, and the con-
sequence was that the track was crowded ail tbe afternoon
with men and boys, which made it rather unpleasant for the
competitors. There were nineteen events ou the programme,
and be it said to the club's credit, the last race was over be-
fore five o'clock. Oat of about thirty five entries not more
than twenty stripped, but the majority of the men who com-
peted were in fine trim, and they made an excellent showing.
Three prizes were to be awarded for each event, and three
special medals were to be presented to the three members
making the greatest number of points during the day. Tbe
points were to count as follows: Five for first place, three
for second, one for third. John D. Garrison won the first
special medal. His record was as follows: Five first prizes,
oueithird. Total points 26. C. A. Eldiidge won tbe second
special medal, with the following score: Two first prizes,
four second prizes, three third prizes. Total points 25 P.
N. Gafney won tbe third sptcial medal, with tbe following
score: Three first prizes, two second prizes. Total points -
21. Garrison, Eldridge, Cassidy, Sexsmith. Moody, Lnt-
tringer and Gafney showed up in tine condition, and had the
track and field been in better condition their records would
have been much better. The mo&t notable performances of
the day were the running of Garrison in the 440 and 8S0
yards run, the pole vaulting and standing jump of James
Sexsmith, the walkiDg aDd high jumping of P. N. Gafney,
and the rucning of H. C. CaBsidy in the mile race.

The handicapping was excellent, reports to the contary
notwithstanding, The only circumstance to mar the pleas-
ure of the day was the appearance of one or two
professional athletes who took a great delight in expressing
their opinions and in essaying to beat the records made by
the amateurs. Such persons should not be allowed on the
track. The following is a correct account of the different
events with the names of the winners, their handicaps and

says "Abdallah and Glencoe stand at the head of the list of
Bires of famous trotters.

year if they prove to be of any account.

"We hope Mrs. Langtry may read the above for the entire
item will be news for her. It may also surprise the lady to
know that her Stock Farm is in Southern California.

On last Saturday a large assemblage of horsemen congre-
gated at the Railroad Stables, corner of Turk and Steiner, to
attend the sale of roadsters, saddle horses and trotters ad-
vertised to be sold by order of Captaiu B E. Harris. Killip
& Co. were the auctioneers, but notwithstanding the earnest
efforts of Mr. Killip, those present would not pay what the
horses were worth, the prioes proving a disappointment to
the owner. Quite a nnmber that were catalogued did not
find purchasers, as it was only cheap horses that were in
demand.

I. DeTnrk of Santa Bosa has purchased of Wm. McGraw
the black stallion "Silas Skinner," sire "Aloona Jr.," dam
"Fontana" by "Almont," and will trot bim through the cir-
cuit this fall. Boys, lookout for ' Silas" when the bell rings

Mr. Judson H. Clark has changed the name of Wellington
(the brother to Sunol, recently purchased by him) to Lord
Wellington, there being another horse already called Welling-
ton. He has been placed in the stud, the service iee beiog
$300.

Mr. W. P. Fine is naturally well pleased at the large list
of entries in his colt stakes, but notes that a mistake was
made in the published list, as Mr. Wisecarver's "Antelulu"
should have placed under the yearlings, instead of among
the three-year-olds.

The first of the get of Edgemark, four year old recoid 2:16
was foaled last week at ColoDel Russell's firm Millon, Mass.,
and is a colt out of a mare by Smuggler, 2:15J; 2nd dam Ma-
dam Powell (dam of Monroe Chief, 2:1SJ), by Bay Chief, Bon
of Mambrino Chief II.

Messrs. Sweeney & Co, of Carson, are going to have a
great combination" sale of trotters, thoroughbreds, HolBtein
cattle and jaoks during April and as the stock is of the beBt,
buyers should be plenty. We will give a description of some
of the horses to be sold in our next iBsne.

The dam of Bismarck, owned by Mr. Marshall of Denver.
Col., was a fiDe saddle mare, a single footer, and a daughter
of the good horse Pat Olayborn of Missouri. Before being ta-
ken West she had once been matched against time to pace
a mile in 2:40 trot a mile in 2:50 and run a mile in 1:50. She
won all three events.

As Mr. Corbett of the Sau Mateo Stock Farm won the two
year old Btake last year at San Jose, with Begal Wilkes, le
has been given the privilege of naming the three year old
colt stake of this year. The gentleman has named it after
the colt, so the stake, will, for 1890 be known as the -'Regal
Wilkes."

During the finish of a recent trotting race at the Bay Dis-
trict track four dogs were loose on the track, and at the gen-
tlemans roadster race at the Oakland Park, a like nnmber,
dashed down the turn barking at the heels of the contest-
ants- Track Superintendents should make it an imperative
role that "dogs will not be allowed on the track."

Io anBwer to the question, What suggestions would you
make as to the best methods of popularizing trotting races ?
A. J. Hook of Paris, Ky., writes to a contemporary: "To
popularize trotting racing, give large purses, charge five per
cent, to enter, five per cent, additional for starters. Conduct
races strictly according to rules, and don't lorget to use print-
er's ink."

Verily California is a great state and she excels in every
thing. On Wednesday evening the fifteenth annual com-
mencement of the New York Veterniary college was held at
Cbii kering Hall on Fifth Avenue, there being two hundred
and Beven graduates to receive their diplomas. During the
exercise Edward John Creely of San Francisco, was present-
ed with a gold medal for having passed the best practical
examination before a committee appointed by the Faculty
from among the local veterinary exper's Mr. Creely will
shortly locate in this city and will unquestionably be a val-
ued member of the profession which he has adopte3.

The grandly bred horse Topic will be offered for sale at the
Kellogg combination sale, March 19th. Topic was bred by
A. J. Alexander, Woodburn Farm, Ky.and greatly resembles
Mb sire. Belmont. He has trotted a trial in 2:3H, and quar-
ters in 36 BecoDda, driven by Crit Davis. His speed is still
undeveloped. Is a first-class horse to train or put in the
stud, and is perfectly sound.

Among the many stallions standing for service in Oakland
is one should commend himself to all fanciers of good blood.
Ashland Aimont is a son of the mighty Almont 33, dam
Pauline by Ashland Chief: 2nd dam Rosina by Abdallah 15.
He is a particularly good looker, has plenty of speed himself
and transmits it to his progeny. The low price at which he
is offered should warrant a full book for this finely bred
Btallion.

I have received a letter from Mr. L. A. Richards of Grey-
son, in which he informs me that he fully expects to place
six or eight of the get of his stallion Elector in the 2:30 list
this year. The success of J. R. last season, shows that all
of the Electioneers breed on, and Mr. Richards is to be con-
gratulated on the ownership of such a fine young horse.

When Col. R. S. Strader of Lexington, Ky., started East
with a lot of California horses some weeks ago. one of the
number was Hernani, owned by J. H. White of Lakeville.
Sonoma Co., which was consigned to the great Woodard
Sale. Hernani was sold on Thursday, Feby. 20th, and

Elector! Election! Election! Eleotor! For heaven's (and
all horsemen's) sake, gentlemen, please to use a little id;:- n -
mity and originality in naming ynur Btallion colte! Hamble-
tonian's was not a play upon ihe name of his sire; nor was
Mambrino Chief's upon that of his; Electioneer aud George
Wilkes, sons of the same sire, and founders of great f-mi!iea,
owe none of their success to their names, but to their indi-
vidual merits. Imagine half a dozen Electors and as many
Elections, founding great families! The next generation of
pedigree experts would, soon find itself fit for an insane asy-
IW.

The two-year old trotter Sacramento Girl has been kept out
of a lot of stakes for trotters of that age in California, Bhe
having shown so much 6peed last fall as a yearling trotting a
mile in 2:56 on a slow track, that the owners of other two-year
old trotter do not think their colts have any show of beating
her. The owner of Sacraments Girl seems to be a very ac-
commodating gentleman, for on learning that that the owners
of other young trotters were discouraged at the prospect of
starting against his filly, he very courteously informed them
that she would not be entered in any of the events to which
she waB eligible — Breeders' Gazette.

For gracious sake, Dear Old Gazette, where do you manage
to pick up such noosensi al items.

Some of the pedigrees found in the interior papers are very
unique. The following are a few samples:

"Diotator, the sire of Jay-Eve-See (2:10), Phallas (2:13»),
Maxey Cobb (2:13}), Director (2:17), S'amboul (2:14) and
Electioneer, the great sire of colt trotters."

"The produce of Beautiful Bells, by Electioneer, have
three crosses by Guy Wilkes."

"Is a son of Young Prince, the thoroughbred English rac6
horse. And his dam, Nettie, is by Kentucky Hunter, also
an imported English thoronghbred, her dam, Flora, was by
Chieftain, a thoroughbred."

When at the Oakland track a few days ago I had the pleas-
ure of taking a peep at Mr. Ayres young horses which have
been taken up, preparatory to being put through their work
Of the lot I am rather prejudiced in favor of Kodiac a two
year old by Mambrino Wilkes, dam Fancy by Bonner. He
is a full brother to Gns Wilkes 2:22. and is a perfect beauty
There are many who think the best of the collection is
Chaldean, by Mambrino Wilkes, dam Fredolia by Fred Ar-
nold, but while the lalter is a gocd one. still I will pin my
failh to the former. Balkan is looking snpnrb, and all
traces of his illness has disappeared, giving him a much
improved appearance. Mr. Ayres has a good string on hand
and the fame of Mambrino Wilkes should ring throughout
the State this year.

Last Sunday afternoon a match race took place at the Oak-
land track between C. Nathan's Encinal, C. Lapham's Tony
and W. F. Scbultz's Alameda Lily. Mr. Laphara drove his
owjt horse, which b a pacer. C Thornquest haudl-d Alameda
Lily, another pacer, and Tallman sat behind Encinal, a trot-
ter. Each of the interested parties selected a judge, and
abont 2 30 o'clock the fun began. Encinal showed a lack of
work, and was really never in the race, the interest center-
ing in Tony and Alameda Lily. The latter won with com-
parative ease in consecutive heats. Time 2:55, 2:44+ and
2:39£. Encinal was distanced in the second heat and Tony
in the third, but the jndgeB decided that Lapham was enti-
tled to his money back, probably because he and his judge
••kicked" so. When the flag fell Tony was fully five lengths
outside.

A dispatch from Nashville says that the three-year-old
stallion Bow Bells, by Electioneer, dam Beautiful Bells, and
Moquette, a yearling ally, by Wilton, out of Alma Mater,
the property of the Hermitage Stud, arrived in that city on
the Southern Pacific stock-car Gasmere, over the North-
western road, from Palo Alto iu good condition. Bow Bells
has four other traveling companions besides Moquette, two
of which pre the property of a Mr. Pearce, of Pennsylvania.
The other two will be taken care of by the Hermitage Stud
until the winter has completely broken. Bow Bells will
make a short season at the stnd and will then be trained.
He has a two year-old record of 2:32}, but as he couieB from
the most illustrious trotting family in the world, on both
sides, be is expected to make a great showing as a three-
year-old.

Last Saturday afternoon was a typical Californian day
and the announcement that there would be four races at the
Buy District track should have drawn a large concourse of
spectators, but notwithstanding the attractions only a very
small number were present. The first race bad aB entries,
the trotters Success and Lacoma and the pacer Creigbton.
The pacer was not troubled much in his efforts io win taking
three successive heats very easily in 2:49, 2:45} and 2:40.

The next event was a match race between James L and
Mission Boy. The latter was the favorile in the fow p->ols
that were sold, but James L won the first, second and fonrth
heat handily in 2:33}, 2:36 and 2:33. Mission Bay taking
the fonrth heat in 2:35.

The runners now took possession of the track and three
of them appeared for a half mile dash, they being Abb, Black
Pilot and Jim Jou . Asa proved the Vidor in 50J seconds.

A dash of five lengths of a mi'e brought out the Baine
trio and in the proli Black Pilot was a pronounced favorite,
selling at S15 to $7 for the field, but in th" outcome Jou Jon
manage I to win bv a verv short head. Owing to a couple
of fouls being mad-, the Judges ordered the race run over
again and admonished Ballv, who ro 'e Jou Jon. that it he
did not win, a severe penalty would be inflicted The sec-
ond attempt wan a verv hollow affair, Jou Jou winning by
twenty or more lengths in the excellent time pi 1 ;03,

The following is from an Eastern sportiD" paper- "It
appears that during the 'boom' in real estate throughout
Southern California in '85, '80 and '87, a vast number ofdriv-
mg horBes of excellent individual merit were shipped to the
State from the East, notably from Kentucky. The men who
purchased them were coining money hand over fist and did
not begrudge a thousand or twelve hundred dollars fur a
road horse possessing style, and cai.able of going a mile in
2:40, or thereabouts. At the present time, these self-same
dealeis in 'sunshine and climate'— for that was all there ever
was to the California boom— find themselves loaded down
with property which is valueless except for purposes of taxa-
tion, and are compelled to keep cIobo within the Bhore. Their
expenses have been cut to the very quick, and whereas they
formerly lived on 'calves liver and bacon' and other tooth-
some viandB, they are now glad to dine on cracker soup
backed up with a small piece of sage brush mutton and in
order that they might exist at all, it is Decessary to dispense
with the quick steppag Kentucky roadster, the speedy
native bred son or daughter of any of their famoUB stallions,
and so cheap are these horses in Los Angeles, that you can
purchase them at prices commonly paid in the East for Btreet
car stock. Then again, no one cares for the ten or twelve-
year-old horse when fashionably bred youngsters can be pur-
chased at the same price."

If tkeie is any class of trotting horses needed by the breed-
ers of this State it is fine brood mares.

Breeders will have a rare opportunity of supplying this
need at the coming combination sale of Messrs. Killip & Co
which will occur about the 3rd of April next.

Among the offerings will be seven mares by Mambrino
Wilkes— sire of four, "in the 30 list" incloding'Gus Wilkes,
and the "coming horse" Balkan, 2:29.5, as a three year old'.
Each and every one is a choice individual, of fine size, style,'
aud mnscular developement, as will more fully appear in
the published catalogue —

We can not refrain from mentioning Clara P.. a most
beautiful blood-like animal, deep bay with black points,
just the right size, 15-2 with extra tine musoleB, Standard
(registered) and with a record of 2:29.1. She is the beau
ideal of a brood mare. Istar by the same sire Mambrino
Wilkes, is but two years old but gives promise of being ' a
sure enough trotter." She is the perfection of form, of fine
size, and gentle disposition, well broken to harness, and in
admirable condition for track work. She is entered in the
Occlriental Stake aDd the last payment due has been made.
Her dam Narka presents a royal line of breeding, viz.. by
Nephew 1220, dam Babv by Chieftain 721; second dam Fan-
ny Havs (dam of Gold Nofe) by Jack Hays, thoroughbred;
third dam s. t. b. by Imp Leviathan. Space forbids further
allusion to the line line of horees to be offered by the aboye
named gentlemen. We await with impalienoi the forth
coming of their catalogue, remarking that it is unnecessary
to go out of this State to procure animals of the ohoicest
breeding.

Haggin's Sale Postponed.

A telegram was received Thursday morning at this
office announcing that the J. B. Haggin Bale of trotting
horses announced to take place in New York city on
March 10th, had been unavoidably postponed until
Thursday and Friday, the 13th and 14th inst. The tele-
gram does not state why the sale has been postponed,
but it is probable that the combination sale which was
announced to take place prior to that of Haggin's has
been unavoidably drawn out, so that it will not be fin-
ished as soon as was expected. There are many first-
class animals catalogued in the lot that will be disposed
of by Mr. Easton for the Rancho del Paso, and we feel
assured that the contest to secure possession of many of
them will be just as eager and intense as has been dis-
played at the Rosemeade Sale.

On another page we give a full list cf the entries re
ceived for the P. C. T. H. B. A., and while there are
some that have not been filled as well as might have been
expected, still there is such a very large entry list that
the members cannot help but feel a certain amount of
self satisfaction at the grand result.

The Stanford Stake, which has been for many years a
prominent event in California, received fifty six entries
which goes to show that it is just as popular as ever, for
while in the past there may have been a larger number
of entries, still the class of horses represented would not
compare favorably with those that have just been entered.
The other stakes and purses have also been well patron,
ized, and with the additional purses which will shortly
be offered by the Directors of the Association, should
make a programme that will far surpass any that
has ever been given in the past. Quite a number of new
members have joined the Apsociation. and there is an in-
creased interest being displayed on all hands. Califor
nia is now the recognized leading State in the country
for the produce of trotting horses, and it is only fit and
right that such an organization as is now in existence
should receive the nearly support of all breeders of the
light harness horses.

The Rosemeade Sale.

Tbe Race Track Question.

The daily papers of San Francisco have for the past
few weeks teen trying to stir up a certain amount of ex-
citement in regard to the demolition of the Bay District
Track which is simply a question of time; and it has
already been announced that the grounds will be cut ud
and sold for building lols sometime within the near
future. The various articles that have been written all
seem to point to one proposition, that action should be-
taken immediately toward procuring the necessary land
before the breaking up of the Bay District Track; but
there is one thing that has been overlooked in all the
articles, and that is the fact that there are only two As-
sociations in the State that feel interest enough to war-
rant them in talking about such matters, and neither of
the organizations have any money wherewith to buy or
lease land or even to put up the necessary buildings.

The Trotting Horse Breeders Association is an organi-
zation of such recent date that there has been no chance
to accumulate a large fund, and the Blood Horse Asso-
ciation have always conducted their business, not as a
matter of money making, but of pleasure alone, there-
fore as a consequence have not the many thousands on
hand which will be necessary for the equipment of a
new course.

The Breeder and Sportsman has had a commission-
er search the San Francisco peninsula over to find out
where theie were any eligible sites for a first class race
track, and the gentleman reports that there are six
places, all of which can be secured for that purpose and
at a very reasonable outlay for the laud, and in more
than half of the cases the property can be leased at a
very small rental; however, that is neither here nor
there, when the two associations interested have not the
wherewithall to commence operations there is only one
feasible way by which a new race track can be secured
for this city. If a number of wealthy gentlemen who
are at present interested in breeding horses, will asso
ciate themselves together and build a track at their own
expense, making it a close corporation, a very good in-
terest can be realizedon the money invested; in addition
to which there are hundreds living in this city and
State who would gladly become members of a first-class
organization, if founded in the way before mentioned .
The "Washington Park Club, of Chicago, which is now-
one of the most influential turf and social organizations
in the country, was started in this same manner. There
is a proprietary interest among a few gentlemen who
organized the institution, and they control the grounds
club houses, etc., while the members pay an initiation
fee and annual dues, and are allowed all the privileges
of the same during good behavior; it is by these means
alone that a race track can be secured for San Francisco
and if they are not carried out very shortly there is every
prospect of this western Metropolis being without a
race track. Some of the prominent and influential
breeders must take this matter in hand if it is deemed
necessary to have a course on this peninsula, and when
such a question is agitated the Breeder and Sports-
man will very gladly lay before such gentlemen all the
data that we now have as to where eligible lands may
be secured.

It is extremely gratifying to be able to publish this
week the first installment of the Rose sale which com-
menced in New York City on Wednesday last. The prices
obtained were of the very best, and it must be a source of
great satisfaction to the owner of Roseniealelo feel that
the Eastern public have such great confidence in his word,
as to pay the large prices which have been given for his
choice stock.

Rosemeade has for many years been one of the princi-
pal breeding farms of California, and it is to the indefa-
tigable energy and perseverance of Mr. Rose, that much
of California's reputation as a great speed producing
State is due. By his very fortunate purchase of Tbe
Moor, a Dew trotting family has been established, and
to-day the reputation of Stamboul, Alcazar and Sultan,
have made this family celebrated from one end of the
Union to the other; these three great horses are now
scattered, one fortunately remaining in the State, while
another has been for several seasons in Kentucky, adding
both fame to his own Dame and financial success to his
purchaser; the third h ts now been sold to go to Mil
waukee, where he will undoubtedly prove a profitable
venture for his new owner.

In next week's Breeder and Sportsman, we will con
tinue the list of the animals eold and the prices paid, as
each animal sold is a direct encouragement to the many
small breeders who are springing up on every hand.
Time had demonstrated that tbe best pays best in the
long run, and those who have elected to breed their
mares to California's great Btallions, will reap a profit-
able harvest before many years,

Appointments to Agricultural District Boards.
A few weeks ago Governor Waterman appointed Mr.
I. De Turk of Santa Rosa as a Director of Agricultural '
District No. 4 (Sonoma and Marin). This was an excel-
lent selection, and met with not only the approval of the
acting Directors, but with that of all the people in the I
County of Sonoma, who take a deserved pride in their
District, and who desire to see the lately existing jealousy 1
between its northern and soutaern sections allayed, and
its people all working together to support and build up |
the great district fair annually held at Petaluma.

Now, low and behold, it is discovered that Mr. De I
Turk is not and Mr. Sam I. Allen of Sduta Rosa is one
•f the Directors.

Mr. De Turk, it appears, was in the East at the time |
his credentials were issued; either he knew nothing of it,
or, even if he did, was, owing to his absouce, unable to !
qualify within the time prescribed by law.

Without, so far as we learn, any enquiries being made)
as to Mr. De Turk's negligence or the cause of delay, I
and without consulting the people most interested in the!
efficiency aud harmony of the District BDard, a substi- 1
tute was appointed and Mr. Allen now fills the vacauoy..

Mr. Allen may, and it is hoped will, prove the next I
best man to Mr. Dh Turk for the place; but it would be
interesting to know the why and wherefore of his selec-
tion.

His prominence in Republican political circles, his in-
fluence with "the boys," and his indefatigable work-
ing abilities and. propensities are generally recog-
nized, acknowledged, and, let us hope, appieciated— but
what have politics to do with Agricultural Boards?

We are uPftble to say with what degree of justice, but

certain it is that when Mr. Allen was in the Legisla-
ture the people of the southern half of the County credit-
ed him with using his political influence to defeat the
Agricultural District appropriations for the purpose of
injuring the District Fair held at Petaluma, and placing
on a fairer footing of competition the County Fair then
being held at Santa Eosa. The people of the southern
half still entertain suspicions of distrust against Mr-
Allen's disinterestedness, and point to the fact that only
last week and immediately almost after his appoint-
ment as a Director of the District Board, he made a mo-
tion at a meeting of the defunct Sonoma County Agri-
cultural Park Association to the effect that the tnrther
consideration of selling that Association's property (lo-
cated in Santa Rosa) be postponed until March 1st, to
give the people an opportunity to form an agricultural
organisation.

It must be admitted that this does not look very en-
couraging as regards the efficiency and co-operation o*
the new director in the District Board; his willingness
and desire to rehabitate a rival institution certainly will
not tend towards "harmonious" action in that Board.

These, however, bo far as we are concerned, are little
aide issues, which we only desire to use to "point a
moral." It is neither wrong nor unfair to Mr. Allen to
commend these data and items to the attention of our
worthy governor, in order that their oversight should
not in the future jeopardize the usefulness of our Agri-
cultural Boards — as it certainly will do if a man's quali-
fications thereto be gauged solely by his political prom-
inence or influence. The agriculturists of the State can-
not afford to have the ends and purposes of these institu.
tions sacrificed to attain for the "powers that be" the
political support of their appointee, the forthcoming con_
ventions.

As hereinbefore intimated, there is no intention on our
part to reflect in the slightest degree upon the character,
ability or intentions of Mr. Allen. But the manner of
his appointment, apparently neither solicited nor recom-
mended, gives it the appearance of a "still hunt" after
political support on the part of the administration.

The last three or four Governors have been guided
more or less by the desires and advice of those.1 L'm embers
of the respective, boards who were known to have the in-
terests of the associations at heart, but Governor Water-
man has, we trust, unwittingly established a precedent
which, if persisted in, will certainly bring ruination to
the Agricultural Societies — as the Sonoma County peo-
ple Bay, he has thrown the first "political" firebrand in-
to their lapful of agricultura products.

True, they may be mistaken; it may only prove a
"tempeBtin a teapot," but the agricultural teapot, Gov-
ernor, is very slim; it is Badly in need of "protection!"
The annual fair is the agriculturist's best, and often his
only advertisement; fair week is his one and only holi.
iday. We trust its management is not to be relegated to
politicians merely because they are politicians.

A Match Race.

For some weeks past tbere has been a spirit of rivalry ex-
isting between the respective friendBof T. W. Barstow owner
of Cyrus R. and R. H. Walton owner of Argent 2:24r. On
March 1st the two gentlemen met, and the following agreement
was Bigned.

San Jose, March 1st, 1890.

We the undesigned agree to trot our respective horses,
viz., Cyrns R and Argent a match race, for the sum of live
hundred dollars ($500) a Bide, Baid race to take plaoe over
the track of the Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Society;
at San Jose Cal , on the 31st day of July 1890, tbe race to be
mile heats three in five to harness, and under the roles of
the American or National Trotting Association, that the said
Society may adopt. A deposit of five hnndred dollars
($500) each must be made with tbe Breeder and 8portsman
of Saa Francisco, Cal on or before March 5th 1890.

Mr T. W. Barstow reserves the right to make the Baid
stake five hundred dollars ($500) or one thouaand dollars
($1000) more, on or before the 30th day of July 1890.

If the said day (Jnly 31st) is unfavorable, the raoe may
be postponed to the first fair day thereafter.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Y<nr correspondent
"Jerri" under the head of Yolo Cuunty cornspondeDce, on
derlakes to give the readers of the Breeder and Sp rts.ma;
some idea of the fast horses of Yolo county, 1 r.t makes thi
mistake of touching the horse elem< nt very lightly lo givi
some gilt-edged taffy to a very few imorg our m»ny cwnei
of highly bred stock.

My complaint against him comes in when, after uaminj
Yolo, Tom Rider, Belle Button and J. H., all by A'ex Button,
as among our prominent young flyers, he atakeB a fling
my training, by telling "what J. H. might have done ii
handled differently."

Now when I took J. H. he waB a very badly spoiled colt,|
and utterly unfit to appear on a race track. After a few al-
most hopelesB attempts I found that tbe colt was really
amenable to discipline and I literally broke him anew, and1
he showed me such fast quarters, halves, and Ftioh. good
miles, that it was agreed among all interested that he Bhould
be put into the raoe at Napa, against Belle Button, Tom Rtd-|
er and Cora C, without expectation of victory, but as a lesson!
in company.

That race gave Belle Button and Tom Rider their records,
and J. H. would also have obtained a better record than his
separately timed 2-22J, bu' for a combination.

I claim that I brought him to the post and handled him
in a first olass manner, considering his antecedent bad edu-
cation, and that he will continue to improve until fit to stay
in the. best of company. I think that in bis admiration for
certiin horse owners of th»B vicinity, "Jerd" has overlooked
the fact that there are some other valuable strains in tins
section with produce wbiob will be heard from in good time.

I wonder if be has ever heard of such horses as Langford,
Owen Dale, St. Cbsrle", Odd Fellow, Norfolk, Jim Dnnglafl,
all runners and sires o' uumtrous descendants now mingling
with suoh horpes as Killaruey (2:20i), Alex Button (2:26$)
and others too many for mention now.

I may some day tell you about the difference between tin
cup trophies and reh] victories, but for tbe present I shall be
content to expect that the Bkekder and Sportsman will have
occasion during (he coming racing season to chronicle the
doings of a few more Yolo horses and their enterprising own-
ers. Our wealthy ranobere are beginning to realize that it
pays to have oolts of good stook developed.

DESIGNER, 11,157

Son of Director 2:17.

Sire of DIRECT, 2:1S}, as a four- year-old,

(lapping out PALO ALTO in 2:164), and

MARGARETS., 2:19£, as a three-year-old,

and GUIDE, 2:28i, as a three-year-old.

DIRECTOR is brother to JAY-EYE-SEE,

2:10, and PHALLAS, 2:18§.

At the State Fair of 1889, he received the Gold Medal
as the best producer of averaged speed incoltsof two,
three and tour years of age, beating Electioneer, Guy
Wilkes, Sidney, stamboul and others. He is the only
trotting sire wl.o hay to his credit two performers In
the 2 21) list, when his oldest colts were only four
vearsold; his services are eagerly sought by breeders,
with a fee of ^300.

Designer's da a is May Queen, by Abbotsford,
2 ■]))!<, sire of Conde, 2:19^: Abbosford isbrotherto
Pancoast, 2:21^, fire of Pairon, 2:H&.

May Queen was never trained. When two years old
was driven over the road tUr^e weeks, and trotted to a
cart two miles in six minutes. A few days after ehe
paced a quarter in 4U seconus bare-footed; after being
ahoed she trotted a quarter in 3< aecondB.

Second dam by Elmo,2:27j<; .half mile in 1:06), full
slater in blood to overman, z;i9 1-4, sister to the sire
ofL. C. Lee, 2:15 made when he defeated Arab in a
match-race in three straight heats in 2:16, 2:17, 2:173? .
Only two of her produce were handled very little, one
trotted as a three -yea r-old, with three weeks' work
early in the spring, a mile in 2:35, last quarter iu 35
Beconds; the other trotted as a three-year-old, a mile
in 2:27)£t quarters iu 33 seconds, with seven weeks'
work, if uer produce had been given proper train-
ing, she would surely have had three in the 2:^0 list.

and Black Swan,2;28K-

Fourth Jam Q, tieu. Taylor, Bire of the dam of Wells

Eumaau, by Williamson's Belmont.

Designer is a rich bay horse, 5 years old, lb% hands
high, weighs l,uu pounds, disposition the very best,
has a perfect gj.it, and shows every indication of being
very laBt. He has never been trained, but will be
given a low record, barring accidents. He is a horse
of great Bubstauce and high finish; his family on both
sides arc producers of great sneed, and be can not fail
to make a great producer, as his colts inherit all these
qualities— the same disposition and natural trotiing
action being large, and showing great breeding. He
Las but 15 colts in all (three two-year-olds*; one of
them has beeu broken, and last t all trotted a quarter
in 4ti$4 seconds, which proves that he produces early
trotters. Those having colts from him are highly
pleased with them , and all returned the mareB to him
the following season hut two. ....

Breeders will see by carefully examining his pedi-
gree, that his blood lines are invaluable for the pro-
duction of high breeding and great speed. No stallion
now in public service can show a pedigree with such
fast reoords as enrich the blood ot Designer. Consid-
ering biB breeding, he is by far the cheapest horse in
California. This is a rare opportunity t<> get the ser-
vice oE a good horse at a low price, as witbina short
period his price will be much higher.

Limited to 20 mares, at $50 for the season, commenc-
ing March 1st, ending June 15th. Mares can be
returned next season if not with foal, provided mares
or horse have not changed hands. Fee due at time
of service, and must lie paid beiore mares are re-
moved. Pasturage 55 per month. All mares at own-

( Bonnets o' Blue,
by Sir Charles
Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he Bired
a long list of winners. His sire Newminster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and bis dam, Jovial by Bay Mid-
dieton, winner of the Derby 1836. Newminister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1834. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 54 races out of 04 starts, by Dr. Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cup, 1837—40-41—42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that teat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheer* is equally well
related. Toung Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf,

HorBemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
ster line in America.

LOCATION.
THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This place has
been selected for the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there tor the exclusive use of
these mares, and the other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mareB (especially mares in foal)
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

The above pedigree should show every intelligent breeder that Don Marvin is "high" bred though very
strong in trotitng blood. All the comment it is deemed necessary to make as to the value of "thwroughbred
blood" in the trotter is simply to refer to the very significant fact that the first and second dams of Maud S,

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1890.

Our Tennessee Letter.

Gallatin, Tens., March 5, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Until the past fonr
days the winter in Tennessee haa been marked by its extreme
mildness, and breeders and trainers of horses could not have
been more delighted than were thev. The weather of the
past fonr dajs has been most fickle, and at times very se-
vere. A sudden change of temperature, accompanied by
raiD, which was followed by snow and sleet, means lots of
mnd and slush, and a let-np of training at Memphis and
Nashville. While no wonderful trials are reported at either
place, it is said that the older division at Memphis are going
like chain lightning.

Memphis seems to have an extra good chance of again
furni k ng us with another Derby winner. There is some
good Derby material wintering at Memphis, and, as a friend
writes me "they will take a deal of beating." Ed Corrigan's
Riley is the most prominent Derby candidate there, or at
least he will receive a good deal of backing in the winter
books. Then there are Blarneystone Jr., Milton, Bine Blaz-
es, Kitty Cheathan and other lesser lights that will do to
keep an eye on. On last year's form I should think Kitty
Cheathan the best 3 year old in the West, but a year's time
often works wonders in an animal losing or discovering nn-
looked for speed. Then, too, mares are uncertain creatures
in the flowery months of spriDg, and very often have to suc-
cumb to horses not within ten pounds of them. The Ken-
tncky Derby of 1890 seems to be a very open race and
even those who have great predictions for giving forecasts
of future events, shake their heads when asked for their opin-
ion.

The Winters string of horses have arrived at Nashville,
including the Eastern and Western divisions. The Western
division as is -well-known have been in quarters at Nashville
for Btveral weeks, but the EiBtern division have only been at
the Park for a few days. Nashville turfmen were very much
disappointed at the absence of El Rio Rey when the Eastern
division arrived. Owing to a delay of 12 hours en route
from Westchester, the big son of Norfolk and Marian tired
badly, and it waB thought best to leave him over^ at Louis-
ville until he bad reonperated sufficiently to again resume
ihis southward journey. He was taken from Louisville to
Nashville yesterday, and did not look any the worse for his
trip. Many have fears that his illness at Westchester recent-
ly may yet result in something serious, and that he may
turn "roarer", while others say he will be as good as last
season, and even better than the Emperor of Norfolk was at
the same age. He does not look as if he ever knew what
sickness was, and it will take a great horse to ever give him
ft race.

The Supreme court of this State has closed all the pool
rooms in operation, and none of them will be allowed to open
until racing is resumed in this State, and then only as long
as racing continues at Memphis and Nashville. An enter-
prising book-making firm has, or will, open a room across
the river from Memphis and will charter a ferry boat, and
will give all speculators free transportation over the river.
There is no law in Arkansas to prohibit book making, and
it can now be carried on to the convenience of Memphis
sports, as well as if it W6re in that city.

The twenty-third annual sale at Belle Meade is looked upon
as the coming event in turf circles in this State. At this sale
every thorooghbred aDimal upon the place will be sold, in-
cluding the stallions Bramble, Luke Blackburn, Iroquois,
imp. Great Tom, and Enquirer, Bixty-four yearlings and one
hundred broodmares, together with the foals that will have
■been dropped by the date of the sale. Two days — April 24th
and 25th — will be consumed in disposing of the entire stud.
Oapt. Phil Kidd will wield the gavel, and some loDg priceB
may be expected. This sale is for a division, Judge Howell
E. Jacsson wishing to retire. Gen. "W. H, Jackson will be a
bidder at the sale, and it is thought will be the purchaser of
the stallions Iroquois and Luke Blackbnrn.

Upon the heels of this great Bale, Messrs. C. H. Gillock,
Lyle & Parmer will hold their inaugural sale of yearlings at
Lyle & Parmer's Horse Exchange, near West Side Park.
This ib a new firm, composed of three gentlemen well known
'in turf circles. Mr. Gillock lis the genial Secretary of West
Bide Park, while MesBrs. Lyle & Parmer are known as the
Southern Mule Kings, and as prominently connected with
some good turf performers. About seventy head of yearlings
will be eold by these gentlemen on April 26th. The colts to

Catalogues have not yet been issued, and upon their appear-
ance I hope to make further mention of some of the good
ones numbered therein.

The proprietor of Kennesaw Stad is yet undecided as to
where he will sell his yearlings. I would not ba surprised if
the Kennesaw colts were disposed of in New York City,
together with the forty-nine colts at Fairview, owned by
Charle.Reed.

Rumor has it that the Hermitage Stud last week refused
an offer of $20,000 for the three year old trotting colt Ponce
de Leon, by Pancoast 2:2l£, dam Elvira, fonr year old record
2:18, by Cuyler. The offer was refused as th« colt is not for
sale. This was a pretty high figure for a three year old colt
that had never made a mark. The Hermitage Stud people
are gradn ally getting together some of the best horses that
can be had, and in a few years it will Btand second to no es-
tablishment of its kind, excepting Palo Alto Farm, the pride
of the famed-golden State upon the Pacific. Bow Bella, who
recently arrived from California, is looking exceptionally
well after his long joarney across the continent. We are glad
to have him added to the list of the great horses in our
State. What is Tennessee's gain is California's loss. The
filly Moqnette, by "Wilton, that came through from California
with Bow Bells, is said to have distemper, and is not doing
ao well at her new home in Tennessee.

Dave Waldo has purchased the steeplechaser Brac-a-Ban by
imp King Ban, dam Little Fanny, and he is now at Memphis
where he will remain during the winter.

St. Louis, Terre Haute, Lexington, and Nashville are try-
ing to arrange a trotting circuit for 1S90. If the different as-
sociation can agree npon purses and classes the meetings will
be held in the order named.

Col. G. M. Fogg. President of the West Side Park Associa-
tion, and proprietor of "Melrose" Farm, intends purchasing a
few thoroughbred mares Vhich he will bred to Benton, 2:27$,
by Gen. Benton, Mr. Fogg, like senator Stanford, has faith
in the crossing of runners and trotters, and to the embrace
of Benton his thoroughbred mares may drop a Sunol or Palo
Alto. Kennesaw.

Editor Breeder asd Sportsman:— Owing to the extremely
bad winter, oar track has been in a deplorable condition for
Beveral months. It is troe that at times we have been favored
with one or two good days, but taken all in all we have had a
very hard time in working our horses. Those who have win-
tered at the Bay District Track have been fortunate inas-
much as they could at least walk their horses in the Park,
but our roads and streets have been so bad that we have not
been able to utilize them for that purpose; in fact, it would
have been dangerous to the hoises to do so. "Within the last
few days our worthy President and Secretary have issued a
very sensible order to the Park Saperintendent, showing
him the danger in having trotters and runners working on
the track at the same time, and now the thoroughbreds will
have the advantage of morning work, while the trotters will
occnpy the conrse during the afternoon — providing it don't
rain. There is no use in disguising the fact, there is not a
horse here fit to run a mile in 1:50, and I hardly think we
will be able to get tbem in first class condition by the time
set for your Blood Horse Meeting.

Frank De Poyster's string looks about the best of the lot
here, and it may just be possible that if the horses which
have been wintered at other sections are in no better condi-
tion than ours, that those under Frank's charge may be
found leading the van in April next.

Al Farrow and Longshot are about the best that Frank has
in training. Guido also looks fairly welL and one of which I
have great hopes is a Gano filly belonging to Mr. Paddock
of San Francisco; she is a little beauty and w:ll be heard from
before long.

The old stand-by, Ab Stemler is looking after the Shippee
stable; he has Fellow Charm which I may mention is the best
of the lot; the two-year-old Longfellow has a very slick ap-
pearance, and the Prince CharlieB may soon be tit for a race.
The King Ban colt is a big, strapping fellow and if he stands
the "grand prep," is liable to get to the front. Picnic has
not grown mach and is about the same as when you saw her
here.

The well known Matt Storn has eight altogether in his
stable, the more prominent of which are Lurline, Marigold,
Kildare and Larghette, the latter he has lately bought from
Charles Aby of the Langtry Stock Farm for quite a long figure
so I am told. A three-year-old colt by Jils Johnson and out
of that great old mare Leverett by Lever, he is rather a hand-
some looking colt and showed np fairly well until last sum-
mer when he had the misfortune to spring an ugly curb.
However, all signs of that has now disappeared and he is
likely to make a moderate good race horse.

Wm. M. Murry is looking after a number of youngsters
but tneir names and breeding I have as yet failed to learn,
with the exception of Kiro which is the beBt Hooker I have
ever seen, and while all of Mr. Mnrry'a horses are looking
well, vet none of them are tit to he seen on a public course
yet.

Col. Harry I. Thornton's stable is about on a par with the
balance as far as the amount of work given them is concerned.
However, I am satisfied that he has somo good two-year-olds
amongst them; the Carrie C. filly is very taking to the eye,
and as our old friend Senator McCarthy would say ''will race
to a finish." The big Darabin colt out of Bavaria, and the
John Happy youngster are a pair of good ones, and the Col-
onel also bus a Hyder Ali filly which will tempt me to back
her for a little the first time she starts; the old mare Abi if
she has not lost her speed will be a very dangerous opponent
for anythieg that may start against her this year.

I was going to say something about the Dennison Bros. 'a
stable, but there you know how Blick they are; it is impos-
sible to tell at the present writing whether "Lucky Dun"
has a good thing up his sleeve or not. Will send you anoth-
er letter in the course of a few days whenever the weather
brightens up sufficiently to warrant the boys in giving the
horses the necessary exercising gallops. Lookout.

on the list.

Foreign Demand for the American Trotter.

It is not at all unlikely that ere long the tables will be
turned in the matter of trade in norses between the United
States and foreign countries, and instead of importing hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars' worth annnally and exporting
practically none, our exportations across the seas, before many
years elapse, may become largely in excess of any importa-
tions that have been made in the past, says an exchange.
While we do not look for any immediate falling off in the
importation of first-class draft horses for breeding purposes,
owing to the fact that our supply is still very much less than
the demand, yet the eyes of the whole world are constantly
being turned to this country on account of the wonderful
excellence that has attached to our fast driving horBSF, or as
they are generally called "roadsterB." Theie has been an
occasional demand upon onr breeders for horses of this typo
from foreign countries for several years past, but this demand
appears to be rapidly growing of late. In fact, within the
pjst month we have been in receipt of inquiries from South
America and from prominent dealers in two European coun-
tries making inquiries concerning the prices at which fast
trotting and roadster horses can be purchased. The Euro-
pean papers especially have expreseed the opinion that a very
extensive and important trade might with very Utile effort be
built np for horses of this type. It is a universally conceded
fact among the horsemen the world over that for fast driving
upon the road there is no horse bred anywhere that is equal
to the American trotter. The nearest approach to it is doubt-
less the Orloff trotter of Russia; but these are unquestionably
inferior to our horses in speed, and probably in powers of
endurance as well. Our last inquiry comes fiom a European
dealer who is engaged in furnishing horses in large cumbers
for the German market. This correspondent says: "Every-
body in this country wants to drive fast now-a-dajs, and the
Germans generally have came to understand that the place to
tret fast driving horses is in America." It is pleasant to note
that while the busint-ss of cattle breeding may be suffering
temporary depression, owing largely to over production and
to the practical exclusion of our meats from a considerable
portion of the markets of the world, yet there is every indi-
cation of continued prosperity to every branch of the horse
breeding interests. Heavy draft horses sell readily and at
good prices. High stepping, Btylish carriage horses cannot
be found in sufficient numbers to supply the demand, while
our fastest roadsters and trottiDg horses bring almost fabu-
lous prices. Of course the weeds, the culls, and the inferior
ones of all types are a drug on t. e market, and this is as it
should be, for it affords encouragement to the enterprising,
intelligent breeder who. values good blood, exercises eound
judgment in the selection of his breeding stock, practice*
judicious methods of feeding, training and management and
hence produces the very best.

I take pleasure in saying that when my horses were sick
with what was called lung fever, last spring, I gave Simmons
Liver Regulator (liquid) in one ounce doses, twice a day.
They all recovered speedily. — E. T. Michener, Proprietor
Michener's Express, Jeukintown, Pa.

A valuable borBe of mine was taken with colic, and after
using all means available, the thought struck me {as I bad no
salts) to use Simmons Liver Regulator. One half-hour after
giving it he had an operation and was cured. I think it vh
uable information to yourselves and Stock raisers. — W.
Halland, JeBsnsville, Ua.

by Albert W. 2:20. Among the thoroughbred mares Carissima
has a big powerful chestnut colt by imp Sir Modred. Up to
the 25th of February, there were fifty-four foals on Rancho
Del Paso. How would that look in Kentucky ?

Hoise thieves were busy in Los AngeleB last week, Mr.
Wilshire, of Fullerton, having a five-year old A. W. Rioh-
mond mare and a bay horse stolen.

Ben BeDJimin the well known Southern sporting writer,
is doing good work now as the Secretary of the Los Angeles,
Sixth DiBtriot Agricultural, Association.

California Writers originated the statement that Los Ange-
les can trot a mile in three minutes, yet it is singular no
Californians believe that the mare can do it.

The Duke of Portland should have a few good two year
olds again this season, among them are Simon Magnus by
St Simon out of Wheel of Fortune. The Wheel was prob-
ably the beBt race mare Lord Falmouth ever owned; and
Koorali is a full sister to the flying Semolina.

Robert Bonner says: "If I deBired to produce only the
greatest possible number of 2:30 trotters, I should not use
any thoroughbred blood but would stick to tested trotting
families. If, however, extreme speed was the result I wished
to obtain, I should want at least 25 per cent, of approved
thoroughbred blood."

Mr. Charles Baokman writes: The first foal here is a bay
filly, foaled February 23d, got by Kentucky Prince, 1st dam
Regina by Wood's Hambletonian; 2d dam Mary Ann by
Magnolia j 3d dam by McConnell's Champion. I have added

between my place and the station.

Wm. Hendrickson who was (with Old Patoben)foryeaTs a
feature on the California race tracks, has after carefully trav-
elling around, bought a horse of Mr. John Gordon, San
Jose. He is an eight year old ohestnut, sonof Nutwood 2:18},

John Williams will handle the horse for a while in Sacra-
mento.

Mr. Lee, the owner of Robert McGregor, 2:17$, has farmed
of A. A. Kitzmilier, Plane View Stud, to be bred to that
horse, the fast four year-old pacing mare, Lydia Wilkes by
Red Wilkes, dam Aileen by Mambrino Boy, paying for her
services this year $2,000. She has no record, but was timed
a mile out in 2:20 in her race with Don Pizarro last summer,
which was won by him in 2:15J.

The experience of TariB tramway companies with regard
to the hardihood of horses is corroborated in New York, name-
ly, that gray horseB are the longest lived and give the great-
est amount of service. The roan horse is equally good.
Blaok and cream-colored horses lack Btaying power, especial-
ly in summer. Bays show an average. Black hoofed horses
are the stronger and tougher.

Mr. H. P. Headley, administrator of the late Mr. B. F.
Pettit, Lexington Ky. has sold to Milton Young, McGrathiana
Stud Lexington, Mr. Pettit's half interest in the imported
brown horse Pnate of Penzance, foaled 1882 by imp Prince
Charlie, dam Plunder, bj Buccaneer, her dam Sister to Aegis

who was a fair racehorse in England will make the season at
the McGrathiana Stud.

A road match for $250 a side came off last week at New
York between the pacer Monkey Rolla, 2:15$, and the trotter
Little Wonder, trial to road wagon. The course was from
One Hundred and Thirty-third Street to One Hundred and
Fifty third Street and Seventh Avenue, Monkey Rolla to
pull two men weighing 300 pounds, and Little Wonder one
mttn. The distance is about one mile, and the contest was
to be best two in three. The pacer, driven by the veteran
Pete Manee, won in two straight heats.

Brown Dick will have a strong stable this season, among
the older oues under his care are Prodigal Son, Pearl Set, and
Ruperta. Allen will ride for the stable again.

O. A. Hickok has been jugging his pacer Adonis for the
last couple of weeks at Palo Alto. The Wilkes — Lucy pacer
has also been taken up and put into jogging.

lone Race Track has had a fair amount of patronage this
fall, Rondo and several other sprinters being on the track,
while a host of trotters have been jogging along,

CharleB Marvin left for New York last Tuesday with 104
head of trotting stock, including Ansel, who will be delivered
to Mr. Bonner. The remainder are to be sold in New York.

Mr. Theodore Wintera says he has heard nothing of the
reported offers that have been made for El Rio Rey. Nearly
all his Hooker fillies which are in Nevada are already bred
to Jumbo, by California out of Big Gun. The mares at Sac-
ramento will be bred to Hooker, and all will be taken across
the mountains shortly to Washoe Valley.

There should be quite lively bidding at the Belle Meade sale
for Iroquois, sire of Cayuga, and Luke Blackburn, sire of
Proctor Knott, both were high clasB racehorses in their day —
Iroquois in England and Blackburn in America. Some of
the Scotland mares too should provoke a good deal of spir-
ited bidding, while the yearlicgs always sell well.

Jas. Lee, ex-trainer for Mr. Chas. Reed, will hold the start-
er's flag at the Washington meeting, beginning April 1st. Lee
has already officiated with success as starter several times at
the winter meetings, and should give every satisfaction at
Washington. It seems a pity, though, that bis loDg con-
nection with Mr. Reed is severed.

Frederick Vanderbilt is said to have been offered $25,000
for the offspring of Aldine and Early Rose if both are fillies,
§30.000 if there is one of either sex, and 535,000 if both are

The Italian Trotting Derby for 1893 (for four year olds)
has forty one eutriee, thirty-six of which are by American
staliiuus. Amber has fourteen, Hambleton twelve, and Ell-
wood Medium ten.

On Thursday the 27th, atEaston's Hunt's Point paddocks
imp. Gruditz, by Kisber (winner of the Derby), dropped a
filly foal by imp. Esher, son ot Claremont, who was second
in the Derby to Galopin in 1875.

It is said Mr. Chan, Reed has presented Capt. J. B. Howe-
sou, of Gallatin, with two Btallions, Highlander and RoBsifer.
Mr. Reed's stallions, Forrester, Mr. Pickwick, Miser and
Long Taw, will serve no outside mares.

Mr. F. J. Baldwin, Managing Director of the Fresno Race-
track Association, has been in town for several days. He
says their prospects are exceptionally good, and he expects
to have a highly successful spring meeting.

Immediately the announcement appeared in the Breeder
\nu Si'uktsman last Saturday, that Barnes would ride Maori
in the Suburban. The mare waB cut to 80 to 1, and on Mon-
day to 20 to 1, at which price she now BtandB.

Hon. C. M. Thomas has introduced the following in the
Kentucky Legislature: "An act to prevent false timing at
trotting contest in thecommon-wealth; making it unlawful for
any party acting as official timers to announce a slower orfast-
er time than that actually made, and fixing a Fine not to ex-
ceed $500 and imprisonment of six months. ',

I received a letter, but too late for the public, last week,
from New York, from which it seems that the veteran cross-
country traveller John Mackey landed in New York with the
Rancho del Paso trotters at 2 a. m. on the preceding Satur-
day, having been five days and ten hours on the cars. The
horses all turned out in good shape after their journey.

W. H. Madden, the clever light weight attached to W. M.
Murry's stable, has in conjuncticn with with his
parents signed a contract for two years to ride for
Murry. Mr. Murry says the reason for having the
contract drawn up so stringently was that one of
our wealthy Western racing men had been making vigor-
ous attempts to entice the boy away, but Mr. Murry has had
too much experience in that line of business to be fooled with
and soon put a stop to it.

Among the many new rules passed at the National Trot-
ting Congress most of which are necessary there
is one commends itself to all straight forward
even minded men, viz.: "When two or more horses
have each won two heats and there shall have occurred be-
tween them a dead heat in any part of the race, they alone
shall start in the next heat." The effect of this is, it does
not make any difference where the dead heat was trotted, if
there be two heats won by each horse and a dead heat be-
tween them.

Maj. J. L. Hallett, Spring Hill Farm, Washington County,
Or., has Bold to Van B. DeLashmutt, Portland, the bay mare

Ths dispatch stating that Paterson, N. J. would offer a
S10.000 pnrse for a match race between Sunol and Axtell
was shown to Mr. Ijums, one of the owners of Axtell at Ter-
ra Haute on March 7th. He said: "I cannot tell what opin-
ion the other gentlemen may have in the matter. It may be
accepted, but I hardly think Axtell will be in shape for a test
of speed. He now has over 40 engagements in the stud and
will not be through until some time in July. Axtell is at
Mr. IjamB' s/oek Farm atTerra Haute and is in fine condition,

Fleur de Champs died on February 28th at Mr. A. Bel-
mont's Nursery Stud in Kentucky. She was one of the very
few daughlers of the mighty Newmioster imported into
America, and resembled the old horse uncommonly, having
all his well known qualities and finish. By her side, when
she was imported, was Nellie James, who afterwards woo the
Hopeful and other crack races, and is the dam of Jacobus,
Jack of Hearts, St. James, etc. Woodbine was the best of
Fleur de Champs' many good foals sweeping the deck in filly
races, and since is the dam of Forester, etc.

The Shire horse trade in England seems very brisk, as I
notice that, on the 5tb, Mr. Clarke of the Moulton Chapel
Stud, Spaulding. sold fifty-one animals for an average of
121 guineas, ($600) the highest price being 400 guineas for
a two year old filly, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Marl-
borough, Lord Ellesmere, and others being purchasers.

Little Teddy Martin, the precocious infant who was mixed
up in the Aylesbury racing scandal, has returned from Buen-
os Ayres without very exalted ideas of the Buenos Ayrians.
Martin, who was a very capable light weight, should have
plenty of riding in England next Beason as he was practically
exonerated on account of youth, etc, when the expose oc-
cured.

White hat Dan McCarty's stable in the East is not as large
&b usual. The Eastern papers Bay the stable of McCarthy,
of California, is in good shape just now, although it contains
but three racers. He has Pandora, three years old and two,
two-year-olds, one a black filly by Joe Daniels — Test, the
other, a bay filly by B.n d'Or — Lady Glasgow, also four trot-
ters.

John Splan has returned from England. He Bays that the
English people will pay a reasonable figure for a moderately
fast stepping road horse that can go a distance. If Ameri-
can breeders will send that class of animal across, they will
find it prove remunerative. The horses must be of good
class, capable of goh>g a distance at a good clip, have oour*
age and be good lookera. Splan brought back with him an
Orloff or Russian trotter, the gift of Mr. Winans of Brigh-
ton. He is a brown stallion, 15.3 hands, and Splan will
breed him to mares here as an experiment.

The Melbourne Cup of the 4th was won by the three-year-
old Dreadnaoght two and a quarter miles in 3:59i. Dread-
naught is by Chester, dam imported Trafalgar by Blair Athol,
grandam Mosquito, Bister to Musket. The three -year- old ran
the course in the best time ever made since its initiation race,
in 1863, which waB won by Barwon, three years old, 106 lbs]
in 4:27- Among other winners of the cup isLurline (dam of
J, B. Haggin's imported Darebin) in 1875, when five years
old with 113 pounds up in 4:25.

W. Field Smith made a very successful sale last week of
his Wilkes stock, Mr. Miller of New York buying his three-
year-old stallion Kalibar by Guy Wilkes 2:15*,. dam by Sul-
tan, granddam Inez 2:30, by The Moor, and his two-year-old
filly Felucca by Guy Wilkea out of Cora by Buccaneer.
Wilbur will probably Boon have the vacancies in his stable
filled, as he is one of the moBt capable, reliable drivers and i
trainers in California, his word being better than most men's
affidavits.

Prof. Fred Smith, of the Army Veterinary School at Alder-
Bhot, England, says that the compression to which the navi-
cular boneB of the fore limbs are exposed is something enor-
mous. A horse weighing 1000 pounds throws 187£ pounds
more weight on his forelegs than on the hind ones, and the
total amount on his forelegs is 600 pounds, or 300 pounds
on each leg. This shows how important it is to take especial
notice of the forelegs, as wtll as the hind, in purchasing a
horse.

Mr. W. E. Holloway has bougbt several thoronghhreds
from Col. JaB. McNasser which he will ship to Messrs Grant
«fc Co., Valpariso, Chili, to be raced or trained as is deemed .
advisable. The horses are Lady Delia, 3-year-old cbe3tnut
filly by Longfield out of Maud Turney, by Harry Blnff; Lil-
lias, 4-years-old bay filly, by Norfolk, out of Madam Tu'rnev,
by Harry Bluff; the trotting stallion Hambletonian Kiog Jr..
by Hambletonian King, dam MoroBa by Autocrat; and the
three-year-old colt San Victor, bred by W. L. Pritchard, by
Young Bazaar out of Lizzie P. by Leinster.

At the Pleasanton Stock Farm sale in New York, Gold
Leaf 2:11£, the craok Sidney pacer sold for $S,000; Thistle,
full brother to Gold Leaf, brought S4.000, both being par-
chased by J. H. Schnlts: Erect, three-year-old brother to
Direct 2:18$ fetched $5,000, the purchaser being H. Kirken-
dall, of Helena, Montana; Saccharine, two years old by
Director 2:17, oat of Sweetness 2:2H (dam of Sidney 2:19£)
was bought by E. J. Travis, Chicago: for $4,500.

The fact that in the English haodicaps the fields are inva-
riably larger than in this country shows that sometbiug is
wrong in the American system, aDd the only plausible theory
Is that the low weight limit is responsible. Messrs. Law-
rence and Mclntyre, the leading Eastern handicappers, have
cansed the withdrawal of maoy cracks from the big events
for this spring by asking for instance, one 3-year-old to ran
against others of the same age, at a difference of forty
pounds, and by placing in all aged contests the same limit be-
tween top and bottom weights.

The high-bred horse is the animal nearest to man in intel-
ligence. Horee-breeding has become a science. In France it
has reached a wonderful degree of perfection. The French
people are lovers of horses. This sentiment has been kept
alive amid all the turmoils of France. The government has
lent its interest to secure a valuable animal for army use.
Thegovernmenthasitsown stud horses selected with the great-
est care. This fostering has resulted in wonderful progress.
Over 12,000 have been recorded under the direction of the
government. The most valuable horse in France ie the
French coach horse.

Better betting is to be had this year on the English spring
handicaps than for several seasons past. The latest figures
on the Lincolnshire Handicap Bhow 100 to S against Nun-
thorpe (111), 100 to Teach against Laureate (128), Sweet Briar
(103), Clar.belle (106) and Daubydale (103), and from 20 to 33
to I against the others The four Suburban favorites are Pio-
neer (106), at 100 to 7; Amphion (121), 100 to 6; Laureate
(119), 20 to 1, and Theophilns (110), 20 to I. For the Derhy
Burefoot is a steady favorite, the price being i to 1. Le
Nord, Heaume and Biviera are next in order, and long oddB
can be had against the other oandidates.

Wilfred Blunt, a noted English breeder of Arab horses,
gives it as his opinion that the Arab belongs to the original
wild races of Africa rather than of Asia, and was introduced
to Arabia by way of Abyssinia, whence it is historical that
he spread northward. He was not known in Europe before
the Mohammedan conquest, but since thenhis blood his
spread through all lands visited by communication with
Mecca through the pilgrimage. The Barb of North Africa,
the 4ndalosian horses of Spain, the Turk, the Persian and
the Turcoman have been all largely infused for centuries
with Arab blood. The first Arab blood in England was prob-
ably brought through Spain and France, and the latter from
Palestine by the Crusaders.

Last week owing to hurried work, I stated that Marion's
yearling was dead. I should have said her foal to Hooker
came dead. Mr. "Winters has the yearling half sister to El
Eio Bey, near Sacramento. She is a tine Hooker filly, a rich
chestnut, with a little white on one hind fetlock and resem-
bles the Cz«r more than any other of the family. Alice N ,
the dam of Applause, has a very racy looking brown colt by
Hooker. Countess Zerika has a good looking Hooker foal.
Mr. Winters was in the city this week and will take
all his stock into Nevada, including Noifolk. The old horse
is in such wonderfully good trim just now that it seems a
pity to transplant him.

The City and Surburban, to be decided on April 23, at the
Epsom Spring Meeting, closed with an entry of nearly 70.
The old established Great Metropolitan Stakes (April 22),
which is run under slightly different conditions this year,
has been supported to double the extent it was last year, the
entries numbering between 50 and 60. So far as class is
concerned, the City and Surburban is well represented.
Amongst the older horses nominated are Veracity, Sheen,
Reve d'Or, The Baron. Kingmaster, Felix, etc The four-
year-olds include Vasistas (the winner of the Grand Prix)
and Miguel, who was second to the Donovan for the Derby,
whiUt many good-clasB three-year. olds have also been en-
tered.

There were on the Palo Alto special train eight head of
horses, the property of Mr. Charles Miller of New York, who
had purchased them in California. Three of them were
fcougbt from Wilber Field Smith, viz : Calabar, bay three
year old stallion by Gny Wilkes 2:15£, dam Bosedale by Sul-
tan, granddum Inez 2:30 by The Moor; Felucca, two year old
'brown filly by Guy Wilkes 2:15}, dam Cora 2:44 at two years
■old, by Buccaneer 2656, granddam Pearl 2:32£. by Blue Bull
and Nnola, bv Sidney 2:19£, dam Mollie by Chieftain 721. Mr.

2:21}) by Berlin, and a yearling brown filly by Norval, dam
Thalia (sister to Thapsin 2:21} and Pansy 2:24^).

Porterville is keeping up its racing proclivities. The En-
terprise has a graphic account of a two days' meeting on Mr
Kelly's mile track. On the first day the stallion trot had
three entries— Capt. Hayes bay stallion Judge Kyle, Mr.
Hawkins' black stallion Black Dick, and Mr. Anderson's bay
stallion Bey Wilkes. Black Dick won the first heat in 2:43£,
Judge Kyle the second in 2:48. Bey "Wilkes woundup the
race, taking the next three in 2:38}, 2:41 and 2:43.

On the second day the free-for-all pace had two entries —
Mr. G. Nanny's bay mare Birdie and Mr. J. Jackson's bay
horse Ed. Birdie took the first heat in 2:29J, the second in
2:33}. Ed took the third and fourth in 2:41" and 2:38. The
fifth was declared no heat on account of several fouls, and
as Mr. Jackson did not appear for the final, Birdie walked
over in 2 :34^.

A meeting of the prominent Kentucky breeders was held
to fix dates for the spring yearling sales. John S. Clark took
the chair, and B. G. Bruce acted as Secretary. D«tes agreed
on were:

Monday. May 5th— Clay & Woodford, John S. Clark and
Mrs. W. Cassius Goodloe.

Tuesday, May 6th— H. C. Headley a^d other breeders.
.Wednesday and Thursday, May 7th and 8th — Bruce &
jCidd's combination sale, consisting of the Edgewater. Kings-
ton and other well known yearlings.

Mr. Milton Young of the McGrathiana Stud was present
at the meeting, but took no part. He will sell thirty-seven
head of yearlings in New York this spring, and the remain-
der will be sold here next fall. . .„.
. - Neither the Woodburn nor Elmendorf Studs were repre-
sented,

J. H. Oglebay, treasurer of the Kansas City Joekey Club,
who has been absent for some time, has succeeded in pei-
ferting his big scheme. The Western circuit as now arranged
takes in Chicago, Independence, la., St. Louis, Kansas,
City Jockey Club, Topeka, Kansas City Exposition Driving
park, Terre Haute, Lexington and Nashville. It will open
up at Chicago on August 18-23 Then will follow Indepen-
dence la., August 25-30; St. Louis September 1-6; Kansas
City Jockey club September 7-13; Topefea, September; 14-20
Kansas City Exposition Driving park September 21-27, fol-
lowed in October by Terre Haute, Lexington and Nashville
in the order named,

The Kansas City Jockey club will open no stakes for th»
September meeting, but will h<mg up large purses, none leBS
than $1,000.

Geo Van Gorden, the Superintendent of Senator Hearst's
San Simeon Ranch, was in town last week making entries
for the Blood Horse and Breeders' Meeting. Despite the
heavy rains, he says the stock are all in good order, several
hundred head of cattle being fat and ready for killing, while
the thoroughbred Ftock are doing very well. Twelve or
thirteen thoroughbred foals have already been dropped on the
ranch, Jim Brown's get being unfortunately all fillies this
year. Mr. Van Gorden sent Bix mares to Sacramento last
week to Cheviot, the rest of the mares are being bred to
imported San Simeon (Peter Jr.), Jim Brown and the Austra-
lian stallions. Among the trotters. Mr- Van Gorden has
great expectations of the four-year-old Claremont, by Mc-
Ginnis, out of Mageie C, a thoroughbred daughter of S-am-
perdown. McGinnis is a bay pacing stallion by Algona
11543, out of Creole by The Moor 870, grandam Madam Gib-
son by Ten Broeck (Cosmo — Fannie Howard by Illinois
Medoc).

It is semi -officially stated that the St. Louis Jockey Club
will race three days a week during spring and summer. The
subject was discussed on March 1st at the meeting of the
board of Directors and all seemed to be in favor of it. The
plan is to begin in April the same as last season, and race
three days a week until the spring meeting in June. After
the meeting inducement areto be offered owners to keep their
stables there and continue racing through the summer. The
question of success depends largely on owoers. It is a well
Known fact that the St. Louis track is not popnlar with ow-
ners, Many of the most prominent stables have not entered
there at all. The minor striDg now in training are going to
Nashville as fast as possible. Owners assert that stable room
is offered free in the South, and that St. Louis puts a price
on it. If owners could be induced to make their headquar-
ters as the Fair Grounds successful racing could be given
through the season, but the indications now are that there
will be a huge vacancy in the stalls.

The annual meeting of the Directors of the Mt. Shasta
Agricultural Society was held March 1st.

Directors present — James Vance, President J. V. Brown,
J. T. Moxley, S. D. Prather, F. A. Antenrieth, J. M. Wal-

of Trinity County.

Reports of Secretary and Treasurer examined, found cor-
rect, and ordered to be placed on file.

Election of officeiB held, and Jamea Vance re-elected Pres-
ident, C. S. Smith, Secretary, and Mauiice Benner, Treas-
urer.

The following committees were then appointed:

On Collection of Subscriptions — J. T. Moxley.

On Track— J. E. Harmon, J. T. Moxley and W. S. Stone.

On Speed Programme— J. M. Walbridge, S. D. Prather and

There being no further business, the Board adjourned to
the call of the President.

When a Gaucho wishes to catch a wild horse, he mounts
one that has been used to the sport, and gallops over the
plain. As soon as he comes sufficiently near his prey, the
lasso is thrown round the two hind legs, and as the Gaucho
rides a little on one side the jerk pulls the entangled horse's
feet laterally, so as to throw him on his side, without endan-
gering his knees or his face. Before the horse can recover
the shock the rider dismounts, and, snatching his poncho or
cloak from his shoulders, wraps it around the prostrate ani-
mal's head. He then forces into his mouth one of the pow-
erful bridles of the conntry, straps a saddle on his back, and
bestriding him removes the poncho, upon which the aston-
ished horse springs on his legs, and endeavors by a thousand
vain efforts to disencumber himself of hi6 new master, who
sits quite composedly on his back, and by a discipline which
never fails, reduces the horse to such complete obedience
that he is soon trained to lend his whole speed and strength
in the capture of his companions.

Interested parties are forming a stock company to lease the
track and its equipments from the St. Louis Jockey Club,
give races and guarantee the purses, none of which shall be
under $250. This company is to have the track all the year
except duriog the regular Bpring meeting and the regular
trotting meeting. Agents of the company recently submitted
the matter to President Green, and he said he would lease
the track for $20,000 a year. The chief object of the company
in securing the track is to provide for the anti-pool bill,
which is expected to come up before the next Legislature. In
case pooling is prohibited, except on race tracks, bookmakers
can make books on the Eastern races at the St, Louis track.
This is anticipating the Legislature, which body mav not dis-
turb the bookmakers, and if they do, a year's grace is usually
given. Chicago is the only city in the West which holds races
throngh the spring and summer, and the important factor in
the success in the West Side Track is that the company which
operates it is composed of horse owners.

One of the English papers some months ago, spoke very
plainly abont the Dokeof Portland. It said a good deal
of fulsome rubbish has been written and said about tb»
sportsmanlike qnaliMesof His Grace. If genuine sportsman-
ship on the tuTf consists in literally running horses off their
legs then it must be candidly admitted that His Grace is
facile princeps of all the noble patrons of that branch of sport.
Not content with breaking down Semolina, he succeeded in
the Champion Stakes in finally closing Ayrshire's career, by
Btarting the horse in a condition which made it apparent to
the veriest tyro that defeat was inevitable. As a matter of
fact the suspensory ligament of the off foreleg cave way dur-
ing 'the race. Even if the Dnke were a poor man, it would
be inexcusable to work his horses in the way he baa done
during the present season, but as he is the possessor of a
princely income, his conduct appears suspiciously like cal-
lous or is tinged with an inordinate greed for winning heavy
Ptakei That he has not yet succeeded in breaking down
Donovan is a matter of pure luck. How often is it here
we see a good horse run off his legs and then if a gelding?

The feature of the Shelburne Farm's Sale, held in the
American Horse Exchange, was imported Siddartba, 10 years
old, by Pero Gomez, out of The Pearl by Newminster, grand-
dam Caller Ou by Stockwell out of Haricot by Mango or
L^nercost, out of the famous Queen Mary. Sidnartba is one
of the highest bred horses ever imported. His sire Pero
Gomez, was beaten a head for the Derby of '69 by Pretender
but easily turned the tables in the Leger. Pero Gomez id
the sire of Pontiac, Hidalgo, Merry Thought, Gil Bias, Har-
binger, Espada, Titania, etc The Pearl is the dam of Selby
winner of the Great Yorkshire Handicap in 1886. Siddar-
tha's granddam is Caller Ou, winner of thirty-four Queen's
plates and stakes innumerable; and among other famous
winners in his family are Blink Bonny, out of Queen Mary;
Blair Athol, Sir Bevys, Blinkhoolie, Freeman, Good Hope,'
Thrift; etc. Siddartba isadark bro*o stallion, imported by
Pierre Lorillard, ten years old and 16 hands high. The bid-
ding for him was not very lively, and he was knocked down
to Dr. A. W. McAlester of Columbia, Mo., for $1,^00.

Sam Bryant, the picturesque owner ot Proctor Knott when
he won the Futurity and the Junior Champion, was at one
time, according to a new Western story, the superintendent
of a small southern track, and owner of some two year olds,
to one of which a horseman took a great f-incy. The horpe-
man said he would buy him if the colt could' go half a
mile ioside fifty seconds. Bryant told him to come to the
track early next morniDg and see for himself. The man came
and the colt was sent from the half mile pole to the wire in
forty-nine seconds. The delighted horseman Daid his money
and departed with the colt. Friends of Bryant who visited
the track that aftetooon say that Sam was busily engaged
in digging up the half mile pole.

"What's the matter, Sam?" questioned one of the party.

''Oh, this half mile pole's well-nigh rotten, an' I thought
I'd plant a new one," was the crafty Sam's reply.

People do say that the new pole when in position was 100
yards farther from the wire than that which marked the half
mile pole when the trial was run that morning.

Which will turn out the crack two year old among the high
priced ones is the problem of the day. Marcus Daly the
Montana millionaire has among others Silver King by St.
Blaise, dam Maud Hampton, bought as a yearling for §22,-
000;Montana,byBanFox,damQueen$600b, Prince Charm-
ing, by Sir Modred, dam Cariesima, $3,650; Mistletoe, Brown

D. T. Pulsifer. has Sir George, by Spendthrift, dam Picca-
dilly, paid $1,200; Kirkover, by Attilla, dam The Squaw,
$1,000. E. "V. Snedecker paid $1,500 for a sister to Kingston
and there are many others.

A good deal of interest was caused at the Haggin sale of
yearling thoroughbreds last July by the announcement that
six fillies, some choice lots of the sale, purchased by Mr. C.
Reed, were for Mr. John H. Shulta, a Brooklyn breeder
of prominence. It *as further added that Mr. Shults pro-
posed to race them until they matured sufficiently for breed-
ing purposes, and signs of interest in racing shown by such
a man were hailed as renewed evidence of the growing popu-
larity of thoroughbred contests. The Sporting World says:
Mr. Shults, however, has changed his mind, il in reality he
ever Beriously contemplated racing the rillies. Being trained
would be of great benefit to the fillies, and Mr. Shults' decis-
ion, therefore, will not meet with general approval, especi-
ally as, should any show signs of special ability, they would
be great acquisitions to racing talent. Some of them are
exceedingly promising, as Mr. Moser, superintendent of the
farm, gave four out of the six, furlong gallops, with 110
pounds up, in 12A seconds, they not previously having
received any training other than that acquired by themselves
in a natural way. The entire lot look remarkably well, and
are as follows:

Bay filly by Arthur H. — Augusta E.

Chestnut filly by Warwick — Clarissa.

Bay filly by Warwick^-Cordelia Planet.

Bay filly by Himyar — Alice.

Bay filly by Kyrle Daly — Alva.

Chestnut filly by Darebin or Kyrle Daly — Agnes.

It is the preHent intention of Mr. Shults to have them
served, when they have sufficiently matured, by some prom-
ising thoroughbred stallion, and they may prove the nucleus
of a breeding farm for thoroughbreds.

The Old Guard Stakes at a mile and a half on March 7th,
was the most comical race ever seen on a winter course. The
conditions were that only non-professional jockeys should
ride at weights 00 pounds above the scale. There were
eleven entries and all started, the weights raDgiDg from 150
to 165 pounds. The wind was keen and piercing, but the
track was muddy and sloppy. Most of the riders were old-
time-re who had outgrown their business. They were received
with shouts of laughter. The gentleman joefety who caused
the greatest outburst of merriment was Mr. W. Woodlands,
owner of the imported horse Dochart. He rode his own horse
at 156 pounds and the post betting was 15 to 1 against him.
Woodlands is a very short man with a rotund body. He
wore a bright orange jacket and a black cap was pulled down
over his head almost to his shoulders. His nose resembled a
beak. At the start it looked as though Dochart was carrying
a prize pumpkin with a crow perched on top of it. The
black horse Falcon strode away in the lead. Theresas
nothing else in the race for nearly a mile. Then the orange-
colored pumpkin loomed up in the front and was never
headed, winning by half a length. The shouts of laughter
and applause which greeted the winner were mild, compared
with those which hai'ed him when he prnce- ded to the post.
In the excitement of winning Mr. Woodlands forgot to sulufe
the judges before dismounting. Major Wheeler, who pre-
sides with the dignity and solemnity of a Supreme Court
justice, added to the fun by informing Mr. Woodlands that
he must pay a fine of 75 cents for dismounting without p^r
mission. All wondered how the rotund jockey finish-
out tumbling out of the saddle. Several of the riders n>
came to grief, and all were covered with mud.

The Rose Sale-

This year Mr. Rose desired to clear out Bosemeade Stud,
and hence he brought his gilt edged property to New York,
says the Herald, the second time, and once more placed it in-
to Mr. Kellogg's hands to dispose of. It wa3 of the same
sort that created such a seosation one year ago, only better,
if possible. Greai merit is claimed for it, and the great trot-
ting judges of the country admit there is much in the claim.
Mr. Rose is sure of the merit of the blood he has been prop-
agating and he defies contradiction when he says that ail in
all there are no trotters superior to those he has been breed-
ing and developing at his farm.

The eagerness of the breeders to obtain the first class
stock is proof that they entertain a like feeling with Mr.
Eose, and the fact goeB to show that the trotting families not
of the highest notch must fall into the utility classes in the
future. There is a great number of wealthy gentlemeD in
the country interested in the produciion of trotters, aod they
are willing to pay big money to obtain the fashionable blood
to work with. This was demonstraied yesterday at the sale
of about one-half of Mr. Eose's consignment. Forty-three
head were sold, and thev brought the enormous sum of
$140,270 — an average of $3,262— which is the laigeBt aver-
age for any number of horses that was ever made at any sale
in this or any other conn try, either of trotters or racers.

The Eosemeade owner was naturally pleased, and once
more he will go to his distant home satisfied that he has been
on the right road in his breeding business.

The sale commenced with the seven-year-old bay stallion
Alcazar by Sultan dam Minnehaha. Mr. Kellogg referred to
the merits of the horse and nf his owner's judgment in his
breeding interests. Then Mr. Eose had something to say
about Aleazir being in his opinion a sire without an equal.
The bidding commenced by Mr. John E. Madden, of Lesing-
ton, Ky., offering $15,000. The starter was only needed.
Half a dozen took a hand in the bidding at once, and soon
it was $20 000 offered. Here Madden quit. Then Mr. Rob-
ert Steel, of Philadelphia, seemed to hesitate, and at ©21.500
he had gone far enough. Mr. Edward A. Tipton, of the firm
of Messrs. W. E. Br*sfield & Co., of Lexington, Ky, chimed
in, and with Captain Fred Pabsr, of Messrs. Uhlien Bros, of
Milwaukee, Wis., and Mr F. C Babcoek, of Hornellsville,
N. Y., made it merry and gave Mr. Kellogg all he could do to
keep track of the offers. Tipton fell out of theranks at $25,-
300, and then Pabst and Babcoek had it_to themselves. The
crowd was intensely interested. Cries of "Don't weaken!"
were frequent. Babcoek hesitatingly offered $25,600, and at
the same time a friend shouted to him- — "Go in, Babcoek. If
yon are too nervous to sign a check I'll sign one for you!"
But Pabst wouldn't be denied. He boldly cried $25,S00, and
the building rang with cheers. Babcoek was turned
to, but he was silent, and the "going-going-gone" was
soon heard giviug the stallion to the TJhlien Bros., of Mil-
waukee, for $25,800. Mr. Kellogg smiled, so did Mr. Eose,
and so did the crowd.

The start was a good one. There is nothing like it at an
auction sale, and to the end the gilt edged 6tock brought mar-
vellous prices.

The nest offering to create big excitement was Voodoo,
a bay colt, foaled June 2, 1883, by Stamboul, dim Eva. by
Sultan. The crowd was at fever heat. The opening bid
was $5,030, and soon Mr. John H.Shults, of Brooklyn, who
has a breeding farm at Parkville, L. I . was an interested
party. He sent the thousands Hying upward with a freedom
that seemed to say, "I'm in to stay!" But Mr. Babcoek,
who had been unsuccessful in his pursuit of Alcazar, had
his courage doubly riveted and he "saw all of Mr. SbultB'
bids" and went a grent deal better. With $24 000 Mr. Shults
quit. Then "824, 100" from Mr. Babcoek secured the prom-
ising youngster.

"Mr. Babcoek," said Mr1 Eose, looking thoroughly pleased,
"won't you go to the be*t tailor in New York, get the best
suit of clothes he can make and send me the bill?" .Mr.
Babcoek smiled in return, and doubtless he will be in a nob-
by soit in a few days, even if be has placed many thousands
ai intereflt in a two year old trotting colt.

Thor, a two year old by Alcazar, brought $0,000, (the tele-
graphic account sent ns stated the price at $4,000, — Ed.), Mr.
Tipton, of Kentucky, buying bim for Mr. G. M. Fosg, of
Nashville. Harvester, an eight year old stallion, was sold
for $3,600 and goes to the Blue Grass region of Kentucky.

Choice a Dictator mare with a colt at foot, sold for $3 000
and follows Harvester to Kentuckey, Grecian Bend, another
Director mare was purchased by "Andy" Welch, of Hartford
a young gentleman who started a few years ago with nothinp,
but now whose bid is as good as anybody's at a horse Rale.
Henlen, a Ken'ucky Prince mare, joined Thor for $3,100
and will go to Tennessee.

Laura Corbett, a Guy Wilkes mare caused a bitter fight be-
tween severnl gentleman, among whom was Mr. Shnlts, but
she was finally secured by Mr. F. C. S lyles and will go to
Providence, R. L Lady Maokey was considered worth $5,000
uud will be heard from in Kentnckey. Mista by Alcazar, dam
Lady Dey. by California Dexter, who took a two year old re-
cord of 2:20 in the second heat of a race, wns secured by Mr.
William Pabst, Jr., and will be found in Milwaukee in the
future. She will attract ntteution nnywhere. Mispah, Bister
to Mista, brought $4,fi00, and goes to Pennsylvania, and so
the great work of rolling the dollars into Mr. Rose's treasury
continued in fine style until forty three lots were sold and the
day's catalogue was exhausted.

Tben Mr, Ro^e lghted a oigarretts and leaving the side of
Mr. Kelloge looked around among his friends and said some-
thing which everybody addressed understood. It sounded
like this "There's plenty of wine, gontlemen."

Our Nashville Letter.

West Side Park, Nasuville, Tenn., Mar. 1, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The weather here ha3
been exceedingly wet for the last few days, which has im-
peded the galloping somewhat, though some were sent along
regardless of weather. The horses here are all healthy, and
mostly in good condition. Eeports from Memphis of work
both Btrong and fast there reach here daily. There are about
one hundred and fifty horses there, and one hundred and
thirty here. Major Elliot has Bridge Light and Sam Doxey
here, both in Eastern Stakes, and they are looking remark-
ably well and working along slowly and kindly. Mr. Win-
ters' car arrived from New York this morning with Joe
Courtney, Don Jose and others lookiDg fresh and well, but
El Eio Eey, who showed fatigue and uneasiness, was taken
off at Louisville and left there to rest. The car was, through
the negligence of that woTst than all impostors, a railroad of-
ficial, side tracked and left twelve hours at Cincinnati, not-
withstanding it *as coming by express. It is to be hoped
that Mr. Winters will try tbem a heat through the courts,
for their motto seems to be to take your money, promise
everything and perform only as they like.

The catalogue of the twenty-third annual sale of the Belle
Meade yearlings is jnst out, and contains sixty-four yearlings
— the get of Enquirer, Iroquois, Luke Blackburn, Bramble
and Great Tom. Many of them are from dams of winners,
and some full brothers and sisters to winners. They are
said, by competent judges, to be a superb lot of youngsters.
In addition to the yearlings, the entire stud of mares, oue
hundred in number, and the five stallions will be sold, to
dissolve the existing partnership. The sale will be made the
24th and 25th of April. Of the imported stallions Bince the
days of Diomed, Glencoe, Bonnie Scotland and Leamington
have proven of greatest worth to the American thoroughbred.
Their sons and daughters have laced to the front, and have
got and thrown winners of greatest worth. Many of th«
broodmares at Belle Meade are rich in the blood of the two
former. Two sons of Old Queen Mary's son— Bramble aDd
Luke Blackburn — are doing service there, and two of Leam-
ington's Bons — Enquirer, the good racehorse and sire, and
Iroquois, probably the best sou of Leamington, and likely
to prove as famous in the stud as he was on the turf. His
get will rank with the best America or England can produce.
The locality that secures this young eire will go to the
front as a producing section. Who does not like the Leam-
ingtons? They go all distances, carry all weights and win.
They may be said to train themselves, for they win with any
kind of handling, and in any kind of hands. Some of these
youngsters that are to be sold, perhaps some of the cheap
ones, will make great horses one or two years hence. Mr.
Cherry has just shipped his pacer, Jesse James, to New York
City, to make a race of half mile heats against a roadster of
that city. A recent decision of the Supreme Court has closed
all the pool rooms here; and hereafter, pools can only be
sold and books made duriDg races here. It is becoming pop-
ular these days for men who play stable-boys "tips" and in-
vest two or three dollars on a loser to go straight away to the
Legislature and introduce a bill to prohibit the demoralizing
business of pool selling, then po3e as benefactors. The
contempt they have for everything connecied with borses
and racing, and for men who engage iu it, is pompously
paraded on all occasions, and their denunciation loud and
severe, whilst they generally run their fingers into their vest
pockets, as if the subject was suggestive of pick pockets, or
perhaps remiuded of the missing change before they turned
moralists. They bear a strong likeness to each other in
faature and mariners. They generally drive to the sta> les
and want to stop a rubber from his work to hold thrir Jade,
while they light a "twof'r" and quis the bojH for informa-
tion; sometimes, not always, giving the boy who holds for
them, a "nickle." It is hoped the pool room is the only
place of wickedness known to them. Pity some of them ever
figure in more degrading resorts. Only those who do, need
be offended — the innocent ara not herein, as aforesaid men-
tioned. The blood horse has made his presence known and
valued here. The roadsters of the city aod 'roundabout, are
well bred, handsome, stylish, and with plenty of "go along"
in them. An infusion of the thoroughbred can be recognized
wherever seen, even in the commonest cob. Sheridan is
eogaged to do the starting here, and at Memphis. The
weather is raw and cold at this writing. Silenxe.

The American Trotting Association-

M. F. Tarpey, Esq., has received the following letter from
the Seoretary of the American Association, which may be of
interest to the local associations which are unattached at
present:

Dear Sir: The prospeots of the American Trotting Afso-
ciation are very bright for 1S30, and we especially desire to
increase our membership in California aod its contiguous
stateB and territories. We have oue hundred more members
than the National Trotting Association, and by the change
in our rules at the last Congress, give almost entire jurisdic-
tion to all cases arising west of the continental divide, there-
by virtually giving you control olyour own cases and all the
facilities of this office. It is tantamount to a Paoifio Coast
Association without the attendant large expense necessary
for carryiug on a central office.

I send you by moil to-day (in another inclosure) a lot of
our circular letters setting forth a few of the many advan-
tage* of belonging to the American Trotting Association,
which I hope you will be able to use to advantage. I would
also tbuuk you to send me the names of any and all parti«*»

THE FARM.

Is It Best to Breed for Mutton and Let the
"Wool Take Care of Itself?

[A paper read by I. J. Williams, Miincie. Iod ., at the Indiana Wool
Growers' Meeting held at Indianapolis, Jan 21-22;!

The question whether sheep can be profitably bred for
mutton alone has been one to which considerable thought
has been given; and yet we find a diversity of opinion among
men who it woQld seem are fairly able to judge. To the qnes-
tion I would venture to say no, and try to give reasons after-
wards.

Now if we raise sheep for the mutton only why not aban-
don them and raise cattle? From my experience I have ar-
rived at the conclusion that in raising sheep the wool will
pay for the keeping, and we have that much more profit; and
that when we breed for the mutton alone we necessarily de-
crease the wool product and proportionately deorease the
profits arising therefrom, and therefore we must not breed
for one thing only.

If the numerous flocks of this country were bred for mut-
ton alone it would be but a short time until the entire wool
business woold he turned over to our Australian friends,
who would supply the denand, which would have a tenden-
cy to increase the price of wool, which in turn would of
necessity increase the prioe of common wearing apparel. Or
if we would turn the whole wo?l business over to our Merino
friends to supply ns with fine wool, tben we could not afford
to wear such fine clothing. The Merino breeders don't raise
very much mntton, aB their sheep are nearly all wool, and
after the fleece is clipped there is nothing left but a very
small caroass. In order to gain a reqiisile amount of pro-
fit we must raise a sheep that will combine a growth of wool
with a growth of mutton, and tdat will make the most mut-
ton and a good grade of wool. The greatest number of
pounds of mutton with the least feed is where we get our pro-
fit. Where we drop the wool interest we are losing that
which we should have; for if the wool pays for the .Keeping
then all we make on the lambs pays us well for our money
invested.

For illustration suppose that we take $100 in the fall and
start ont and buy under favorable conditions. And in the
handling of sheep, as of other farm animals, the beet fed and
yield the highest profit.

For bringing up lands, no farm animal is the superior of
the Rheep, andforbriDging up quite poor landB, no other farm
animal iB its equal This is because the sheep will utilize
more of the growth of such lands than will any other stock,
and while the composition and quantity of manure made by
the sheep for certain food is not superior to the manure of
other animals using the same food, the tine division and
more general distribution of the manure of the sheep make it
a superior animal for improving lands, particularly poor
lands. The man with worn or thin landB to enrich, can use
sheep to better advantage than he can any other animal.

For several reasons sheep oomm-n'l themselves to the man
with limited ready capital. For example, to stock land with
Bheep requires less money than to stock it with horses or
cattle, and the sheep will make returns earlier and more fre-
quently. Many men cannot afford to wait two or three years
before getting a substantial return on their investment; but
sheep will produce an income within a year, and will afford
two sources of income every year — wool, and the increase for
mutton.

It is not contended that every farmer shonld grow sheep
extensively, or that every farmer should keep sheep; but it is
submitted that a careful inquiry into the advantages of sheep
husbandry, close figuring on costs aud returns, will Rhow
that more farmers should have sheep, and that many hock-
masters would do well to increase their flocks. — National

Stockman.

Reciprocity.

The following is from a Canadian paper, the Free Press of
London: —

"The attention of Parliament has been called to the large-
ly increased import of freih beef into Canada from the United
States, and a recommendation comes from Mr. Joseph Mar-
shall, the member from East Middlesex, to increase the duty,
with a view to affording further protection to our own farm-
ers. It is probable that some such course aB this will be
taken. In western Ontario the force of this compptition is
not felt, but in the Maritime Provinces several millions uf
pounds are annually brought in. It is said that the facilities
for transportation are such that fresh beef can be laid down
in the Lower Provinces at a very small cost; so small, in-
deed, as to be abont the game as it would coBt a farmer 150
miles away to deliver his beef. It is known that the indus-
try in beef raising has grown to be such a large matter in the
Western States that Bpecial means of carriage have been
found. Refrigerator cars are now run in large numbers over
the through routes, and at a cost most astonishingly low. In
dealing with this matter it must be borne in mind that Cana-
da aims to be a large cattle and beef producing country, and
it would be an anomaly if we shonld send large numbers of
live cattle across the Atlantic, while doing little to preserve
the relatively more valuable home market. There need be
no oompunction on the part of the Canadian authorities in
taking high protective grounds. No one cm read the recent
announcements of the Secretary of Agriculture at Washing-
ton and fail to see that the definite policy of the American
Administration is to take every means within their power to
protect their farmers. Considerations of self interest should
dictate the propriety of our authorities being equally vigilant
in the interests of our agriculturists. If large quantities of
beef, either salted or fresh, are wanted in the (Maritime Prov-
inces, it will hardly do to have the Americans BUpply it,
while we have abundance of the fi&est meat in our own coun-
try. This is a proposition which will commend itself to tbe
judgment of Canadians generally.

Chester Whites.

At a discussion in the National Chester "White Association
of "Black spots in Chester Whites," it was decided that black
Bpots and black hairs were an evidence of impurity of blood
and were therefore objectionable; that the blue flecks in tbe
skio, while not any evidence of impurity, were not desirable;
and that the only method of suppressing these objectionable
spots was to discard all pigs having them, or pigs from litters
any of which were bo spottei. JBreel entirely from hngs
which are pure white and whose ancestors were also pure
white with pure white skina and the spots will soon disap-
pear, was the general conclusion;

Montana Stockmens' Opinion.
The stockmen of Montana have nothing to fear from the
present agitation in regard to taxing range privileges, which
is now going on in the east. Certainly the government
cannot exact a tax upon our cattle without giving some guar-
antee of furnishing a supply of feed; and if the scheme of
renting its domain at a given price per acre were adopted,
it would have to guarantee the exclusive right to use the
Bame aud allow it to be fenced, which would be contrary to
its present attitude towards the unenclosed lands. It is
only the poor man who is strugnling to lay the foundation
of a home, who is barely able to supply his family with the
rudest necessaries of life that this scheme would discommode.
The cattle owners would profit by this system, as it would
enable him to control his range. We do not favor it because
it would retard the progress of civilization. We have no
fears as to its not meeting the approbation of a large number
of stockmen, and we are rather inclined to think that it would
be'advautageous to the heavy grower. Tbe feeling that
prompts the agitation, though, is not calculated for the ben-
efit of the weak, but is engenered through jealousy based
upon assumptions which have no foundation in factB. Our
stockmen have richly earned every privilege they enjoy,
and there was a time when there waB an advantage in free
range. Bat the country is now so crowded with stock that
there is no security whatever offered and thereare few heavy
owners who would not be willing to pay a fair price if they
could have a given range for their own exclusive use. And,
unless the agitators of the scheme are ready to assure this,
it is idle to discuss the question; but, when they do this,
they must remember that they raise a formidable barrier
against further settlement. — Rocky Mountain Husbandman.

Acute Tympanitis or Hoven in Cattle.

This peculiar affection is known by a variety of terms hov-
en, hoose, blown, dewblown, grass-sickness, etc It oooors
very rarely among cattle grazed on the range country, but
frequently in cattle permitted to graze on clover or alfalfa
pastures; and especially in cattle that have been driven loDg
distances and while very hungry turned into damp or dewy
pastures, Almost any kind of food in excessive quantities
may produce it.

The symptoms are a well marked enlargement and eleva-
tion of the left flank; sometimes the stomach becomes enor-
mously distended and ruptures; the breathing is muoh im-
paired and there is dribbling of frothy saliva from the mouth
and constant belching of gases; pain and suffering is mani-
fested by moans and grunts, also general uneasiness and
stamping the fet- 1 or striking the abdomen with the hind feet;
the eyes look wild aud the animal glances frequently at its
sides. If not relieved in a Bhort time, death may result from
rupture of the stomach, blood poisoning due to absorption of
gases, or Buffocation due to pressure of the enlarged Btomach
against the diaphragm.

The treatment must be very prompt to save the life of the
animal- In very severe cases the best and proper course is
to clip the hair off a small spot on the most prominent point
in the left flank, then plunge a small lance through tbe skin
and push a trochar end cannula through the muscles and in-
to the stomach, then withdraw the troohar and allow the
cannula to remain in till all the gases escape. Push the
trochar into the cannula whenever it becomes obstructed
with escaping food. A small or medium knife blade may be
used, cattle feeders often used a medium sized butcher knife
on cattle in alfalfa pastures. In California the cattlemen al-
ways watch tbe stock carefully for a week or ten days after
changing to a new location from range to alfalfa pastures.

The wonnd in the side ought to be treated with some heal-
ing lotion or carbolic aeid ointment. The mild cases may be
treated successfully without any operation in the aide and
stomach. Both the severe and mild cases ought to be treated
with a half teacupful of bicarbonate of soda, or baking pow-
der, a tablespoonful of black pepper, or a teaspoonf ul of red
pepper, with a pint of water. Those remedies are generally
at band on every ranch, end may be repeated every two hours
till the animal shows signs of recovery, then cease giving
medicine and drive the animal several miles. A tablespoon-
ful of powdered ginger and a pint of water makes a service-
able drench, or a tablespoonful < f carbolic acid and a pint of
linseed oil will answer very well when no other medicines
are at hand.

It would be good policy for every ranch man to have a few
good books on diseases of live stock, and devote some of
thoBe long winter evenings to study.

Markings of Berkshire Hoes.

Editors Country Gentleman: — Mr. A. B. Allen, page 92,
referring to the English breeders in confining the markings
of Berkshire pigs to four white feet, white tip to the tail, and
white on face, but white anywhere else objection al, says, "It
seems a very foolish and hurtful thing to confine them to
such narrow markingB." Mr. Allen is certainly right if there
were any diffinlty in securing these marks, so that some of
the best must be rejected, but the BerkshireB have been so
long and carefully bred that these marks are almost certain.
Out of thirty-seven pigs dropped Bince January 7, 1890, not
more than two would be ruled out. Pigs can be bred so easi-
ly that it wonld be folly to breed anything bat the beBt, and
to expect a fancy price for these is also folly.

In the same paper, same page, Mr. S. H. Todd Bays ''the
coming hog" most be large and light, with lean meat. "Large
and light" means much bone and little meat. A large, leggy,
thin carcass is certainly not the best for lean meat. A thick,
leshy, compact carcass, with heavy hami aud shoulders,
fine bone, Bnperb back and loin, fine, short head, fine tail
andagoodcont of fine hair— these points of excellence are
found in tbe Berkshire. Any pig with these qualities will be
free fleshers, which can never be snd of tbe large, light hug,
of whatever breed I do not know whether Mr. Todd's hog
is an imaginary one, or whether he knows of such a breed. I
can hardly understand how a hog with superb back and loin,
spleudid ham. medium shoulders and smooth, firm body can
be the large, light hog described. Tbe hog we are after is a
small, heavy hog of early maturity and small offal, and such
I find in th ■ Berkshire. With skimmed milk, peameal and
bran, our pigs will dress 200 lbs. at six months, with good,
solid' meat, not too fat for the market. If it is desired to have
them leaner, feed slower by giving less meal and more milk —
they mnBt not be stinted in quantity. Tbe breed that has
more points of excellence than the Berkshire is yet "the com-
ing hog." and when he does come he will not be some new
breed, but some of tbe present breeds yet more perfected. We
cannot afford to throw away the many points of excellence
secured to ns by the many years of careful Btudy by Bkilled

breeders. We must br^ed as well as feed for first quality
meat, which means marbled, not lean, for although it has
been proved that lean meat can be produced to a limited ex-
tent by forced feeding, yet if the natural assimilation is forced
by a food over rich in albuminoids, it will be at a loss, and
our aim in all operations is to avoid this.

Cattle Statistics.

We are in receipt of a few additional statistics on the cat
tie interest of tbe United States from the AgricuhnrM De-
partment. The number of cattle exported during 18S9 was
603.952 head, alive and dressed, as many in 1889, as in 1S88
and 1887. The market value of British and foreign cattle in

oonmarket* takiDS the weekly quotations for the last half of
1889, and quoting the average of the markets for the last half
of the year, was follows: British cattle Becond qualitv, four-
teen; first quality. 5 6-10; foreign cattle, second qualitv, 11-
65-100; first quality, thirteen. The above prices are the
dreseed weight. It will be noticed that as between British
and fireign cattle there is about two cents on each quality,
or, to be more exact, on second there is a difference of 2 4-10
cents and on first quolity 3 6 16. Mr. P. D. Armour, in his
statement to the committee of the Uoited States Senate said
that nis firm purchased in 1888 340,649 head of cattle: that
the average dressed to live weight was 54.76 per cent., nearly
fifty-five per cent. The export cattle are of a higher quality,
and ought to dress sixty per cent, dressed to live weight.
The shipping rate during 1889 has ruled higher than usual
for the reason that the large shippers have undertaken to
controlthe shipping room of the steamers. The low prices that
have prevailed during 18S9 at Chicago have been charged to
over-production. As between the first and second quality of
British cattle and tbe same classes of foreign cattle there
iB a differenct of $2 60 per hundred. If American breeders
and feeders will breed and feed for the top of the market thev

ran cover $1 60 of this differene, which would give about
$14 per 100 pounds for a dressed carcass or for a well bred
aud well fed 1500 pound Bteer there is §100 at Chicago.—

Suggre3tions in Milk Setting.

1. To make the finest flavored and longeBt keeping butter
the cream must undergo a ripening process by exposure to
the oxygen of the air while it is sweet. This is best done
while it is rising. The ripening is very tardy when the
temperature is low.

2. After cream becomes sour, the more ripening the ruore
it depreciates The sooner it is tben skimmed and churned
the better, but it should not be churned while too new. Tbe
best time for skimming and churning is just before acidity
becomes apparent.

3 Cream makes better bntter to rise in cold air than to
rise in cold water, but it will rise sooner in cold water, and
the milk will keep sweet longer.

4. The deeper milk is set the less airing the cream gets
while rising.

5. The depth of setting should vary with the temperature;
the lower it is th« deeper milfe may be set; the higher, the
shallower it should be. Milk should never be set shallow
in a low temperature nor deep in a high one. Setting deep
in cold water economizes time, labor and space.

6. While milk is standing for cream to rise the purity of
the cream and consequently the fine flavor a*id keeping of
the butter, will be injured if the Burface of the cream is ex-
posed freely to air much warmer than the cream.

7. When the cream is colder than the surrounding air. It
takes up moisture and impurities from the air. When the
air is colder than the cream, it takes np moisture and what
ever escapes from the cream. In tbe former case the cream
purifies the surrounding air; in the latter, the air help* to
purify the cream. The selection of a creamer should binge
on what is most desired — highest quality, or greatest conven-
ience and economy in time, space and labor. — Ex.

Shorthorn Sales.

The announcement that an auction sale of registered Short-
horn cattle will be held at Sacramento on April 3rd, is made
in our advertising columns. Baing held under the manage-
ment of the Pacific Coast Short-horn Breeders' Association,
is a guarantee that the animals will be exactly what they are
advertised to be, and all breeders of cattle and ranch owners
should attend the sales and not neglect such a grand oppor-
tunity to improve their herds.

Large Imports of Meat.

"Twelve steamers," says the North British Agriculturist
of January 22nd, "arrived at Liverpool during last week
from American and Canadian ports, bringing 2,435 cattle,
18,803 qrs. of beef and 69 carcasses of mutton. As compared
with the arrivals of the preceding week, these show an in-
crease of 1,312 cattle, 8,127 qrs. of beef, and 2S carcasses of

mutton."

•*>

The Secretary of Agricultural is in receipt of advices from
Senor Ernesto Boscb, Acting Charge d' Affairs of tbe Argen-
tine Republio at Washington, to the effect that tbe date fixed
for the presentation of applications by foreign exhibitors for
space at the forthcoming Cattle Show and Exhibition at
Bueno3 Ayres, opening April 20, 1890, has been extended uu-
til the first of January next.

The Nebraska Farmer says: "The demand for first-class
Holstien-Friesian cattle is good, and while they are not sell-
ing at fanoy figures they hring good prices. There is no
grade cow that sell as readily as a grade of this breed, be-
cause most of them are large milkers and the demand for
more milk is increasing as the dairy interest of onr state
developea. We have frequent inquiries for grade Holstein
cows and heifers, but the demand is so great that those who
are known to breed these grades find ready sales for them."

The success attending tbe new creameries in Hnmbolt has
been so great that another has alraedy been started there. The
Ferndale Enterprise says:

Another creamery company was organized in Ferndale
Monday, with a capable stock of S6000. at $12 per share
each share to represent a cow, and none but dairymen allow-
in the company. The creamery is to be built on the Sum
Fulmore place on tbe Island, and all tbe stock has been ta-
en but ?400. The stockholders are: JameB Nissin. Sifilfcn

THE GUK

"Crack" loading.

The superb work done by the United States Cartridge Com-
pany teams during the recent visit has doubtless aroused in
many minda a desire to know precisely what guns, of what
weights and what methods of loadiog contributed to the re-
markable scores of the inviucibleB.

Not forgettiDg that a bad gun and poor load in the hands
of a good man are better than the finest weapon and Selby
cartridges in the hands of a poke there yet seems interest
enough in what may be considered the highest attainment
in the art of shooting, by the men selected from All America
as most skillful, to justify presentation of all attainable de-
tails tending to their success up to the moment the word
"pull' 'is given.

As the oldest at the traps and- with practice, perhaps as
bard a man as any to down Mr. S. A. Tucker may be first
mentioned. He uses a nine and one half pound Parker
hammerless ten bore.

Three and three-quarter drams of American dead-shot
powder, one card wad, two No. 9 pink-edge wads, and one
and one-quarter ounces of soft 7's at live birds.

At artificial targets, the powder charge is three and one-
half drams; otherwise the load is the same.

Mr. Harvey McMurchy, dividing with Tucker, popularity
as a travelling gun representative, and also entitled to the
highest honor as a trap shot, ases anL. C. Smith 12-bore gan
weighing seven pounds twelveounces; at live birds, three and
one-half drams of American "Wood powder, one card wad, two
No. 11 black-edge wads, and one and one-eighth ounces of
Boft 8's in the right barrel; in the left, three and one-half
drams of Laflin & Rand powder, otherwise the same load.
At artificial targets he uses Laflin & Rand powder in both
barrels, otherwise the same load.

Mr. J. R. Sties, six feet of good shot, uses a seven-pound
fifteen-ounce Parker hammerless 12-bore. At both live birds
and targets, uses three and one-half drams o£ American Wood
powder, one card wad, three No. 11 black-edge wads, one
and one-eighth ounces of Tatham's trap shot No. 7.

Mr. C. W. Budd, who divides with Stice the claim to the
American championship at live birds, prefers and uses an L. C.
Smith, of seven pounda twelve ounces in weight, and 12 bore
invariably uses American "Wood powder, three and one-fourth
drams, one card wad, three No. 11 black-edge wada, and at
live birds, one and one-eighth ounces of chilled 7's; at targets
he uses No. 8's instead of 7's.

Mr. W. H. Wols ten croft, thirty per cent, quicker than
lightning, uses a W. W. Greener ejector, seven pounds four
ounces, and twelve bore. Mr. Wolstencroft always uses
Sohultze powder and loads his own sheila. He uses three
drams of the powder by measure, just seating a card wad
and two No 11 black edge wadB on the powder, one and one-
eighth ounces of c lulled S's in the right and the same quan-
tity of ohilled 7's in the left at live birds. At targets he uses
ohilled S's in both barrels.

Mr, H. B. Whitney, the boy of the party, handles a nine
and one-half pound ten gauge L. C. Smith, with four drams
of Schultze, one card wad, two No. 9 pink edge and one No.
10 pink edge wads, and one and one-fourth ounces of Talt-
ham's trap Bhot No. 8 in the right barrel at live birds. In
the left he uses four and one-half drams of Laflin and Rands'
powder F. F. G.; otherwise, the same load. At targets he
uses three and three-quarter drams of Laflin and Rand's F.
F. G. powder; otherwise the same load.

Mr. John A. Ruble uses a twelve bore Lefever weighing
eight pounds. At live birds three and one-half drams of
American wood powder, one card, three black edge weds,
one and one-eighth ounces of Raymond Chicago shot No.
7 in both barrels. At targets three and one-fourth drams of
Laflin and Rand powder F. F. G., one card, two black edge
wads, and one and one-eighth ounces of Raymond Chicago
shot No. S's.

Mr. Rolla O. Heikes also uses a Lefever, twelve bore of
eight pounds, Laflin & Rand powder, three and one-fourth
drama; at targets, one oard and two blaok-edge wads, with
one and one-eighth ounces of No. 8 Tatham chilled shot.
At live birds he uses No. 7'a in both barrels, with three and
one-fourth drams of Schultze, one card and three black-edge
wads in the right barrel.

Parson W. F. Qaimby misuses a 10-bore L. C. Smith
weighing eight and three fourths pounds; four and one-fourth
drams of American Wood powder, one card, three No. 9
black-edge wads, and one and one-fourth ounces of No. 7
Tatham's trap shot. At targets he uses No. 8'b.

Mr. W. E. Perry Bhoots a ten-gauge Parker which weighs
nine poundB three ounces, three and three-quarter drams of
American Rifle Cartridge powder, three No. 9 black-edge
wads and one and one-fourth ounces of No. 8 chilled
Tatham's shot at live birds.

The other Perry, Mr. W. S., is also a Parker gun admirer,
using a ten gauge that weighs nine pounds one ounce. At
live birds he shoots four and one quarter drams of American
Dead Shot powder, one oard, two black edge wads No. 9, one
and one-fourth ounces of No. 8 Tatham soft shot. At tar-
gets he reduces his powder load to three and one-half drams;
otherwise the same.

These suggestions are not offered in the belief that adop-
tion of any one of the gUDs or loads will iDsure the making
of a Stice or a Whitney or a Budd, but there must be some-
thing in the manner of loading or the men would not use
any oare, but shoot any cartridges at hand.

A Differentiation.

An angling reader of the Breeder and Sportsman in far
away Prussia send this analysis of two words often misuaed.
•'The two words sportsman and sporting affect me very differ-
ently. I read the word Bporting for instance and into my
mind rushes the image of a tall, well-built, clean-shaven in-
dividual, jaunty of air aud short of purse, who iB surrounded
by trotters, jockeys, boxing gloves, billiard tables, cards and
dice. How different is the picture called out by the word
sportsman! Mountains, green fields and quiet nooks of every
6ort for back ground; for foreground a running stream in
which stands a man tender of heart, clear of mind, faithful
of thought and full of love for animals, out-of-door life and
all things poetical and artistic."

Blue Rock Club.

San Francisco, March 13, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The officers of the
Blue Rock Club newly elected are: J. O. CadmaD, President;
Dr. S. E. Kuowles, Vice-President; Chas. F. Stone, Secre-
tary and Treasurer; Captain F. R. Noyes (resigned), Cap-
tain; S. L. Abbot, Jr., and Henry C. Golcher, Directors.

No election as yet to till the place vacated by Mr. Noyes.

The first match was to have been shot last Saturday, but
owing to the bad condition of the grounds, traps, etc., noth-
ing but an informal shoot took place. No scores were re-
corded. The future dates of matches have not yet been de-
cided on. Mr. J. O.Cadman, 101 Sanaome street, has the
power to appoint the days of meeting.

Charles F. Stone, Sec'y.

New Trap Ground.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The Gun Club and I
believe all the other wing shooting clubs, will shoot thiB seas-
on at the Oakland race track. Arrangements have been com-
pleted with the lessee of the track, Mr. Hinchman, to put up
a suitable and neatly built club houBe on the grounds with all
the necessary conveniences for shooters. The location of
traps, seats for spectators, etc., are all arranged, and Mr.
Hinchman promises that gentlemen will find every conven-
ience at his place, and with timely notice birds will always
be on hand, trappers, etc. The track is just 35 minutes from
town, and trains leave between 6 a. m. and 10, a. m. Every
half hour between 10 a m and 3 m, every hour after 3, half
hourly until 7 or 8 p m. I was at the track last week, and
the grounds inside are in excellent condition being dry, even
after this past eevere winter. Altogether, I fancy that pigeon
shooting men will be much pleased when they visit Mr.
Hinohman's place. Secretary;

A very crisp and pleaaaut monthly comes to us with the
title Amateur Sportsman. Published in New York City,
and well edited, it is a desirable visitor to any fireside.

The California Wing Shooting Club meets at Oakland
Trotting Park to-morrow, at 10 o'clock A. M., via Berkeley
train. A general invitation to sportBmen is always extended
by the club.

A large and vigorous Rod and Gun Club has been formed
at Santa Cruz of which Mr. E. C. Williams is secretary. The
Club offers a reward of §25 for information that will lead to
the conviction of any person violating the game or fish laws.
We wish the utmost success to the new organization, and
shall be very pleased to receive reports of its meetings reg-
ularly.

Mr. A. H. Woolery in sending his shooting programme
at Traver on April 7th and 8th sends these words: We have
some good shots in this part of the country. They do not
bar anyone, and there is a chance for any one to come and
shoot and if they can beat the home boys they will do welj
financially, aa there will be some good sweepstakes."

Colonel C. W. Dimick telegraphed us on Wednesday last,
from Kansas City: "We beat the Kansas City champions
to-day at live birds ten birds a man ninety three eighty six,
regards to all*"

More tinware for the Menagerie! The Iolanthe will rival
Hammersmiih and Fieldj in brilliancy, if luok remains with
the tourists.

Some of the Chinese quaik distributed by the Fish Com-
mission were sent to Colonel J. N. Bailhache near Healds-
burgh. When the birds were set loose some ran into the
brush, some flew into trees and the whole lot disappeared in
short order. They will be strictly protected for five years.
We invite others who have received the birds to send us
notes about their behavior and progreBS.

In response to a request for the acores made by the Gun
Club at San Bruno on March 1st, the Seoretary, Mr. John K.
Oit, writes: "I am not authorized to give the scores of the
Gun Club to any one this season, as the members have deter-
mined not to have any scores published in any of the
papers." Such a rule is extraordinary, to speak mildly, and
hardly to besuatained.

County Clerk Hall of Tehama County informs us tha^
hunters from the Coast Range mountains state that a great
amount of wild game has been frozen to death in the moun-
tains. Very often the oarcasB of a deer is found where it had
died iu soeking shelter under a tree; and quail and other
birda are found frozen stiff upon limbs where they have
perohed. This is noticeable to a greater extent on the
country above Hay Fork. It proves that the Beason, outside
of human observation and knowledge, was something posi-
tively exceptional, because the instinct nature gives to the
denizeDs of the mountains and lorest would have prevented
these fatal results if winter's such as wo are juHt emerg.
ing from were recurrences from time to time.

Mr. W. L. Colville (the "Dick Swiveller" of Commerce) is
in the city repreaenting the Baker gun. He iB pleasant and
bright as ever, and about ten years younger than last year,
because his sales are bo encouraging. He goes hence to the
North on Monday next, and is commended to the mercy of
our Portland and Seattle friends.

The Northern Development company, whose office iB t No.
5 Market street, Room 5, iu this city, in another column
calls the attention of sportsmen and anglers to a most invit-
ing programme of travel and sport just projected. An ex-
ploring party will leave San Francisco about April 10th for
the Alaska coast, St. Matthews Island and the Yukon River,
stopping at numerous places on the way where game is
abundant and the finest of fishing for salmon, trout, halibut
and cod, The scheme embraces five months of travel and 13
to be a joint stock affair, thus reducing the cost to the mm
actually and necessarily expended. A grander opportunity
was never afforded those fond of the gun and rod, and the
Development Company will undoubtedly Boon have its ros-
ter filled.

Says a Pacific Beach, San Diego County, correspondent1
"The close season has arrived for the little quail, but by tbe
booming of guns on the hill back from the beach is good proof
that the quail get no rest in this part of the country, there is a
move among the leading sportsmen here to organizing a
gun club and game protective association, but it seems to bs
up hill work as the inducements put out by some of our lead-
ing hotel men for game in close season is so tempting, some
of our crack shots tumbled in and got fat. If we had a fearless
game warden here he could make it quite warm for a few
local sports in town."

Until San Diego Sportsmen arouse themselves and stamp
out the pot-shots, there is little encouragement to the Fish
Commission in planting game birds and fish in that section.
Why do not the local officers place the hotel proprietors who
serve quail out of season, under arrest?

ROD.

A Washington Commissioner.

Mr. George Ferguson of Artondale, Washington makes
these suggestions to whioh we gladly give place and endorse'
ment. Mr. Hume's standing in this community and his long
time acquaintance with the needs of the fisheries fairly en-
title him to such consideration.

Mr. Ferguson writes: All persons interested in the propa-
gation and preservation of tish must be highly pleased with
the action of the legislature of Washington in passing an act
for the appointment of a fish commissioner. During a resi-
dence of ten years on Puget Sound I have seen salmon de-
crease in number year after year, until there is not now one-
quarter of the number that there wer« when I first came here.
I have often seen tons of herring and smelt drawn cut on the
beach and left there to rot by fisherman who cared nothing 1
about the future supply of food fishes. These fishermen
had long seines with very small meshes, and they would I
haul in their net and find in it half a dozen salmon and two
or three tons of herring. The salmon they would pot in
their boat and tbe herring they would leave on the beach to
rot. They oared not, though they were exterminating the I
food of the Balmon. A majority of the fishermen around,
here are Italinsa and Greeks, who care nothing about the
future supply of fish, and who will require a man of nerve
and energy to compel them to respect any laws relating to
tbe presveratiou of our food fishes

The man who canddo this better than any other man on ;
Puget Sound is Davi H. Hnme, of Taooma. He baa been
fishing or dealing in fish all his life. He has twenty year's
experience on Puget Sound as fisherman and wholesale dealer
in fish. For years past he has advocated legislation to pre-
vent the extermination of our food fishes. His thorough
knowledge of the "propagation, protection and preservation
of food fishes aud oyster.-,'' his praotioal experienoe of forty
years among fish, and his business abilities make him tbe
fittest man in Washington for the position of fish oommiB- ,
sioner.

A truck load of great packing cases was being dumped be-
fore Mr. E. T. Allen's store at 416 Market street the other '
day, and curiosity prompted us to ask as to the contents.
The reply was that a shipment of S. Allcook & Co's stand-
ard fishing taokle had just been received from Liverpool.
There seemed to be enough to supply all tbe anglers in crea-
tion, but Mr. Allen blandly remarked that his orders then in
baud would absorb most of the shipment, but that more
tackle would be coming for some weeks.

Rod makers are fairly distancing gun builders in increas-
ing the excellence of their prodnots and reduoing prices.
Messrs. Clabrough. Golcher & Co., at 630 Montgomery, are
displ-iyiDg a fine line of specialties in the tackle way. partio-
ulnrly split bamboo rods. Such implements ub they offer now
for fifteen or twenty dollars could not have been purchased
five years ago for thirty-rive. In balance, material, jointing,
play and finish, their light weight "Webber Lake Rod" is a
marvel, and will become the standard for ordinary trouting
uses in California.

Occidental Club's Spring Meeting.

A more unpropitious day than Saturday last could not have
been selected by the Occidental Coursing Club for its Spring
meeting for 1890. Washington's Birthday was originally
Belected, but constant raiu storms made it advisable to choose
another day.

Saturday opened drizzling, and at eight o'clock only Treas-
urer S. L. Abbot, Jr., Secretary J. F. Carroll and a lone
reporter appeared at the South Paci6c Coast Railroad depot.
Very soon, however, others came along, and by 8:10, fifteen
of the twenty-four dogs entered were on hand, together witk
a few spectators. Hurried consultation among the Directors
of the club resulted in an order to proceed with the meeting,
and with many misgivings, tickets for Newark were purchased.
The intervening country was one great lake. Water, water,
everywhere, except in tbe train, where a peculiar amber
liquid seemed to be the only diluent. The hour's ride was
short, because of lively ohat.

Newark was reached in a driving storm, which made an
umbrella more to be prized than a section of land. The
coursers huddled in an old barn on the coursing grounds,
peerad out through sundry crevices, and exerted all their
Mark Tapleyism in making the best of it. At 10:30 the Santa
Clara County delegation arrived with the rest of the dogs, and
as the ram had ceased for the time, thesport was inaugurated.
Rubber boo's were fitted to President Gregory and Secretary
Carroll, while Slipper Wren was fitted out with top-boots.
The oogs were all in good condition, except Dr W. E.
Wadam's Midtigbt, which had a broken toe, and Mr. J. F.
Carroll's Dark Rustic, which wbb injured on Friday by a
barbed wire fence. Midnight did well in the run-up. but
could not work his bare because of his sore foot. Dark
Hnstio did not appear.

The All-Aged Siake was won by Mr. S. Milliben's brindle
and white bitch Peasant Girl by Tribute— Tampete. Peasant
Girl is a medium weight bitch of fine points, very speedy to
ber hares and when in possession very hard to displace, be-
ing exceedingly clever and a close worker. The runner-up,
Mr: T J Cronin's black and white dog Dan B by Chicopee—
Lily of Kiliarney, was a favorite for the stake and there was
little to choose between him and the winner. He is a ru-her,
goes a little wide on turns, but is very fast, true and clever.

In the Sapling Stake, Mr. T. Cooney named the white and
black bitch Kathleen by Kiliarney — Culverine and won with
her. Kathleen had the foot of any thing in the stake in the
straight, was in fine condition and won with something to
spare. Mr. Cooney also owned the runner-up Dandy Jim by
Stranger — Jereey Lily, a very neat, white and blue dog, a bit
largish, but very able. The names of those enthusiastic
enough to brave the elements deserve record. They were
Messrs. S. L.Abbot Jr., T. J. O'KeefEe, S. O. Gregory, J.
F. Carroll, James E. Watson, Dr. W. E. Wadams, J. B.
Dickson, J. Scnnett, T. Gallagher, G. G. Taylor, James
Wren, Thomas Shea, A. J. McCoy, M. airtes, E. Portal, M.
. McCarthy, Pat Behan, T, J. Cronin, D. J. Flannery, L. H.
Garrigus, C. C. Wilkinson, H. Boyd and J. McDonald.

The ground was soft, sloppy, under water in many places,
and the hares only ordinary as a rule, with now and then a
clinker which had managed to keep out of the wet. The
judging of Mr. J. B. Dickson gave satisfaction, as did the
work of the slipper, Mr. James Wren. The officers of the
day were: Field Stewards, Col. S. O. Gregory, T. J. O'KeefEe
and J. E. Watson; Slip Steward, J. F. Carroll; and Flag
Steward, H. Boyd. All performed their duties admirably.
Perfect order and the best of feeling prevailed throughout the
day. Coursing began at 11 o'clock and ended at 2:35.

ALL-AGED STAKE.

Woodside — TcfNiE— A good slip and an even run up to a
good hare, which turned, and another hare starting each
dog took one and killed. Slipped again, Woodside led to
the quarry, wrenched, again wrenched and placed Tinnie for
a wrench, when Woodside killed and won.

Midnight -Dan B— The brace got a good hare, and from
a long slip Midnight made a pretty burst, but Dan B scored
a go — by. Then each had two wrenches, when Dan B killed
and won.

Saturday Night— Laurel wood —Slipped at fifty yards to
a cliker. Laurelwood got the run up and turned, placing
Saturday Night for a turn, when Laurelwood again took the
hare for two wrenches and the kill. The race, from different
standpoints, appeared to some to belong to Saturday Night,
but the judge and those in the most favorable positions co-
incided in believing the course properly Laurelwood's.

Mollie Bawn— Freestone — The slip wa» a long one to a
lively hare. Freestone had all the speed, scored the rua-up
—three wrenches and the kill, beating Mollie pointless.

Chicopee Lass, a bye. Dark Rustic not appearing by rea-
son of severe injuries received the day before. Chicopee
Lass ran a bye, which was a hard one.

Harriet S— Peasant Girl— Peasant Girl broke from slips
like a whirlwind, got first to the hare, held it for four
wrenches, then turned to Harriet S, who killed. Peasant
Girl won, hands down.

Juanita — Daisy — After two short do— go's a fair hare was
started. Juanita got the run up and turned, but Daisy when
placed scored rapidly, three wrenches and the kill. The
course was given to Juanita.

Mosquito— Faugh a Ballagh— The scut was an ordinary
one. Mosquito cut out the work and scored all but the kilL
which was made by Faugh a Ballagh, Mosquito winning.
first ties.
Woodside — Dan B — The dogs ran a no course, then Dan
B did some fast and close work one a good hare and shut
Woodside out.

Laurelwood — Freestone— Freestone shut his competitor
out brilliantly, did some quick work, staying close, killing
and winning.

Chicopee Lass— Peasast Girl— The course was short,
but the Girl was too olever, and won hands down against
her good opponent.

Juanita— Mosqctto — Mosquito, not the favorite, won a
short, sharp course, scoring the ron up. two wrenches and
the kill, against three wrenches for Juanita.

SECOND TIES.

Daf B.— Freestone— A close thing. Dan B speediest a
little. Both exceedingly clever. Dan getting the kill and
win.

Peasant Girl— Mosquito— The hare was a cracker, but
Peasant Girl made a grand dash, turned it without placing
Mosquito, wrenched several times and finally killetLshutting
her competitor oct pointless.

FINAL.

Dan B— Peasant Girl — After a short no-course the dogs
were Blipped to a fine hare, the Girl racing away from her
fine brace-mate by superior speed, held her hare for two
turns, three wrenches and the kill, a performance rarely
equalled, when the quality of Dan B is consideied.

year as follows: President, J. B. Lewis; First Vice-Presi-
dent. George Flournoy, Jr.; Second Vice-President, Thomas
Higgs; Secretary, J.B.Martin; Treasurer, John de Vaull;

Kiog and A. B. Truman, were appointed to draft a set of res-
olutions in respect to the memory of the late J. Mervyn Don-
ahue, who was a lover of huting dogs. The Secretary was
instructed to notify the Secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club
that the members of the California Kennel Club positively
refuses to assume any of lhe Pacific Kennel Club's debts,
and a consolidation cannot be bad until such terms as have
been proposed by the California Kennel Club are accepted.

SAPLING STAKE.

Volunteer — Sweep — The hare was a good one. In the run-
up Sweep made a strong play, but Volunteer had the foot,
turned without placing Sweep, wrenched and let Sweep in
for a wrecch, then resumed possession, killed and won.-

Kathleen* — American Bot — The dogs were almost upon
the hare wnen slipped. Kathleen, a rattler from slips, showed
the way to the hare, turned it, placed the Boy for a wrench
into Kathleen's mouth for the kill and win.

Dandy Jim — Killarnet Boy II. — Jim led to the best hare
of the day, turned it and placed the Boy; resumed after a
wrench and worked his quarry to the escape, winning easily.

Pauline — Bo Peep — The slip was a bad one, Pauline hav-
ing much the best of it, and improving her advantage by
leading to the hare for a turn without letting Bo Peep in ;
held the scut for three wrenches, then placed Bo Peep for a
wrench or two, the hare finally wrenching to Pauline for the
kill and win.

flrst ties.

Volunteer— Kathleen — Mr. Wren sighted the dogs on a
good hare, but could not level them except to a long slip,
which he gave Volunteer made a brilliant burst, but Kath-
leen was too fast and secured the run up and a turn. Volun-
teer using the hare for two wrenches, when Kathleen re-
placed herself, killed and won.

Dandy Jim — Pauline— Jim led to a good hare, turned it,
but another hare started, and the dogs tock it to a lumber
pile. A boy succeeded in dislodging it. the dogs scoring
about equally, with Pauline perhaps a shade the best of it,
until the hare again reached the pile of lumber. The judge
called it an undecided course, and the dogs were again slipped
to a fine hare. Dandy Jim had the pace, used his bare for a
half dozen wrenches and the kill and wiD, shutting Pauline
out pointless.

final.
Kathleen— Dan dt Jim— After a short no-courae on a sick
hare, Kathleen fairly flew to a lively haie, turned it, regained
possession without letting Dandy Jim score, wrenched twice,
killed and won the course and first money.

SUMMARY.
Newark, March 8, 1SBC — Sapling Stake; for eight dogs at 35 each;
Kunner-up £15.

Any reader who chances to recall the pedigrees of the ball

confer a favor by sending them to us. Jerry we believe was at
one time owned by Mr. Gillig.

Dr. A. C. Davenport sends from Stockton a nice photo-

A local journal devoted to poultry and pigeons intimatf ■
that the delay in paying some of the poultry prizes at the last

O- C- C- Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Occidental Coursing Club was
held last Tuesday eeening at Mr. William Schreibers, No. 21
Kearney St., with fifteen members present. The Treasurer,
Mr. S. L. Abbot Jr., reported the financial standing of the
club satisfactory, there being a balance of six dollars after
payment of all bills. It was proposed that an all-aged stake
and puppy stake be held at Newark Park on the 30th of May.
Tbe election of officers for the ensuing year followed. Mr.
S. O. Gregory was unanimously re-elected President; T. J.
O'Keeffe, John Grace, S. Milliken and C. C. Wilkinson, vice-
Presidents; S. L. Abbot Jr. re elected Treasurer and J. F.
Carroll Secretary. The Executive Committee is composed of
H. E. Dean, J. K. Dickson, H. Boyd, T. J. Cronin and W. S.
Kittle. Tbe club voted also to have an annual dinner in
March of each year, the first one to be given during the pres-
ent month. Messrs. H. E. Deane S. L. Abbott Jr. and T. J
O'Keeffe were appointed a committee to arrange the banquet,
and they especially request members of the club to write
whether they can and will be present at the banquet or not.
Mr. Abott can be addressed at 228 Montgomery Street, City.

It is with field trials as with any other races, the best dog
does not always come fittest to the post, and too often a duf-
ferish beast is advanced in a stake more by luck than merit,
while a really superior performer, because of tbe very keen-
ness which makes him superior, is exposed to a thousand
dangers which do not menace the more ordinary brute.

The pointer Sankey (Point— BloBsom), which won second
;n the last field, is an examplp. In his preparatory work he
was brilliant, but just when the critical time came he was sick.
Since then he has regained his strength, and Mr. Joe Bass-
jord writes of him:

"I had a good time with Mr. J. F. Hughes on the last day
of the season. We worked his pointer Sankey for three days
as hard as a dog was ever worked, we going out in a cart in
the morning and back at night, making Sankey run the dis-
tance. And of all the dog3 I ever shot over or ever saw work
he is the best, surest and gamest, and for staying power.^
which is one of the best points in a dog he is the 'boss.'
He was beat in the trials, but for a quail dug I would prefer
him to any that run at the last trials or ever did run in Cali-
fornia."

The Southern California Kennel Club will give a bench
show during the first week in May next. The club is now
regularly a member of the American Kennel Club and will
give its show under A. K. C. rules and wins there will count
for championship honor?. It is altogether improbable that a
bench show will be given in San Francisco before next fall,
and local owners will do well to condition their dogs and
send them to Los Angeles, By clubbing together and select-
ing some careful man who knows how to care for a dog
the expense can be reduced to a nominal figure. Most
dogs will be in good coat on May 1st and san easily be fitted
for tbe show. We hope many entries from the Northern part
of the state will appear. Premium lists may be had from Mr.
EL T. Payne, President of the Club, at Los Angeles or from
E K. Benchley, Secretary, or E. B. Tufts, both of Los
Angeles.

BILLIARDS.

J. L. Malone, tbe pool expert, who has been laid up at
the Laclede Hotel, St. Louis, Mo., for several weeks, was
recently removed to the Mullanphy Hospital. Malone has
had a severe attack of the "grip." He has been convales-
cent several times, but bad relapses, and at last resolved to
go to the hospital, where it is expected a final cure will be
effected.

Schaefer & McCleery play during May for $4000 ($2000
a side) half forfeit. Each party has $1000 up as a forfeit
with the 'Examiner" the exact dates of the contest will be
named, and all preliminaries Bettled on the night of May
1st at the Baldwin Hotel Billiard Koom and the other $1000
each posted. The game is 3,000 points up to be played on
three snccessive evenings.

We have a semi professional billiardist in the city at pres-
ent who it is whispered intends to challenge McCleery. At
any rate he practices daily at the Baldwin and knocks out
300 and 400 points very often. He should have no trouble
if he wants a game, as Mc's ideas on that point are well
known, and to play a match at any and all times is right
into his hand.

Why don't some energetic man arrange to bring out the
great players to this city, say, in May, Put up a good
purse include McCleery and Sayler, thus having eight con-
testants— make it a handicap at 8 inch balkline making a
weeks play. There iscerta nly a good lump of money in
the venture and as Schaefer is coming to play McCleery
and being on the heels of the great Chicago tournament the
interest wonld be at fever heat.

Ladies and gentlemen who are fond of billiard playing can
take instructions either at private residences or at Professor
McCleery's Parlor, up stairs in the Baldwin Hotel.

Jim Cbesley thinks well of having the players all come out,
Jim Orndorff and he both say that if a season ticket be not
more than $25, they certainly would have to have one each.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPtflPPUS,

SCMMAKY.

The Secretary of the Students aDd Sportsman's Club of
BakerBtield, Mr. S. N. Reed writes nnder date, March 5th
as follows:

"In a few dayB wewill begin the execution of a gymoasinm
bath roonid, etc in rear of our club room. All is progressing
nicely and our club promises to be a phenomenal success. '

The "Willows Athletic Club went to Colusa on March 1st
and gave an entertainment which was highly praised by the
Willows Journal, says our valued exchange:

"Upon reaching Colusa about 200 citizens of Colusa were
at the depot and bade tbe excursionists welcome to their fair
city. Frum the depot all made a bee line for the Colusa
House, where B. Pmrer the proprietor, assigned about 100
"Willow-ites to the rooms.

At 4 o'clock the Club formed in front of the Opera
House, aDd wiih Silvey's Cornet Band at their head, paraded
the principal streets of the town.

The exhibition by the Athletic Clab was good, considering
the time the members have been practicing. The house was
orowded from the door to stage. Every seat was sold before
4 o'clock. The performance was highly appieciated by the
citizens of Colusa. No people ever entertained a crowd bet-
ter than the citizens of Colusa did those from Willows.
Everyone who went to Colusa speak in the highest terms of
Colusa's hospitality, and all unite in returning their heartfelt
thanks for their royal reception."

At a meeting of the P C A A A held last Friday evening,
the Golden Gate Athletic Club resigned as a member of that
body. The annual championship athletic meeting will be
held on Decoration Day at the new grounds of the Olympic
Athletic Club, and it would appear that a hot battle will en-
sue between the teams from the different clubs for the cham-
pion nag. The falling through of the Loog-Henceman scull-
ing match has been a great disappointment to the rowing
men.

KU2CNE&S, WALEEES, JUMPERS, ETC.

P J Higeins, the Irish distance runner, has returned to
the city from La Porte, Cal. He may possibly compete in the
mile run on May 30th.

J B Bnchanan, the Australian champion all round athlete,
will leave for Chicago in a couple of weeks He intended
joining the Olympic Club but his business pursuits will com-
pel him to take an early departure.

McDonald says he will train hard for the Novice hundred
on May 30th.

The openiDg of the Olympic Grounds will be attended by
the largest audience ever seen at an athletic meeting in San
Francisco.

Frank L Cooley, the amateur champion five mile rnnDer
of the Pacific Coast, is willing to run any of the local amateurs
a five mile race for a gold medal. Mr, Cooley does not desire
to issne a challenge but he says if any one disputes his title
he will be only too glad to settle the question,

John D Garrison, who has been on the path unly a short
time, is looked upon as a dangerous man iu the quarter-mile
run.

Like the majority of good athletes, Victor E Schefferstein
finds it impossible to remain in retirement and he will be
seen on the track again on May 30tb.

There will be a grand gathering of athletes on Decoration
Day, as all the old timers will be on hand to prutect their
records .

It is generally telieved that the records in the following
events will be broken at the championship meeting: 880 yards
run, one hnd five-mile runs, one and three-mile walks, put-
ting 16-lb. shot, running high jamp, throwing 16-lb. ham-
mer, 120 yards hurdle race and pole vault.

A young man named Rankin, who claims to be the cham-
pion ten-mile ranner of America, will represent one of the
clnbs in the rive-mile run at the championship meeiing.

On Sunday last several of the Olympic Athletic Club's ont-
door men took a trip out lo their new grounds and indulged
in trial spins. Mc&rthur jogged a milein5:36; Jarviswalked
a mile at a moderate pace, covering the ground in 7:45, and
several of the sprinters ran short trials. Walter Scott ran a
couple of miles at an eaBygait, and he did not appear to have
lost any of his old-time staying powers. Jar vis, the walker,
who has been on the best tracks in England and in the East,
says that the new track will be equal to any track he has
ever raced on. It will be at least three seconds faster in a
mile than the old track at 14th aDd Center Streets, Oakland.

Charles Little, who, through illness, did nat make a very
good showing at the Alpine games, may surprise some of the
boys in the half-mile run at tbe ntxt games.

With proper training, James Sexsmith should vault 10 feet
with the pule. He holds tbe coast record of 9ft 3iin.

J. J. McKinnon, the hammer thrower, will apply for rein-
statement to the P C A A A.

A Tunning bop, step and jump would be a very interesting
event to add to the cnampiouship programme.

Messrs. Lichlenstein and Cberry, tbe well known amateur
swordsmen, will give an exhibition of their skill at the
' Ladies1 Night" entertainment of the Alpine Club next
month

J B Buchanan, the Australian Hercules, has also promised
to be present on that evening, to show the fair sex what he
can do with the heavy weights and clubs.

Some of the local amateur walkers would like to see John
Elliott, of the Olympic Club, appointed judge of walking for
the championship meeting. Sir. Elliott has been all over
England and Ireland, and has an excellent idea of what
"square" heel aod toe means.

Fred D. Scholtzer, the Financial Secretary of the Acme
Athletic Clnb of Oakland, died last week and was buried on
Sunday. The members of the club attended the funeral in
a body. The deceased atblete was held high in the estima-
tion oi his fellow members.

Walter A. Beatty. the one mile runner of the University
Athletic Club, suffered a painful experience at Tiburon on
Sunday last. He was out suiling in the Corinthian Yacht
Club's sloop, Lark, with a fellow lawyer named John F.
Sullivan Jr., and when passing through the straits near
Point TibntoD, Snllivan, who waB forward, was thrown over-
board by a sudden lurch of the vessel, and owing to the
strong tide running, although beicg a good swimmer was
drowned before the eyes of his campanion, who was unable
to offer any help. The sloop was carried beyond Sausalilo
and Beatty would have perished too had not some boats
gone to his aid.

Secretary J. J. Jamison, of the Golden Gate Athletic Club,
is very much worried on account of the clnb having to re-
sign from the P. C. A. A. A. Mr. Jamison h*s been a dele-
gate to the Association almost since its foundation, and his
brother delegates are heartily sorry for his loss. Individual-
ly Mr. Jamison has always been a hard worker in the inter-
ests of amateur athletics/and he never failed to do all in his
power to help the P. C. A. A. A. out at their aunual out-door

meetings.

Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Records.

Some weeks ago Captaiu George W. Jordan was appoioted
a committee of one by the President of the P. C. A. A. A.
to compile a correct list of the Pacific Coast Amateur Ath-
letic records and the following table shows the lesult of his

CLUE JOTTINGS.

It has been decided that the annnal championship games
of the P. C. A. A. A. will be held un the grounds of the Olym-
pic club on Friday May 30, {Decoration Day ) The tiaek will
be in tine condition, the prizes will be the most cosily ever
given on the Pacific Coast a fine band of music will perform
during the day and everything possible will be done to please
aod make comfortable both the audience and the contestants.
Should the weather be tine it is safe to calculate on 5,000 peo-
ple beirg present to see the sport.

The first "Ladies Night" of the Alpine Amateur Athletic
Club will be held at the club rooms, 706 Powell St , early in
April. A first class programme will be given and the special
medals and prizeB won at the late beld-day of the club will
be distributed.

At a meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. held in the pailor of
the Olympic G!nb on Friday evening March 7, the Gulden
Gate Athletic Club tendered its resignation as a member of
the Association. The reason why the G. G. A. C. resigned
was because the P. C. A. A. A. recently adopted rules wnich
prevented any club that fosters professional sport from being
a member.

A meeting of the P C A A A was held last evening, an
account of which will appear next week, A committee has
been appointed to formulate a programme for the annual
championship out-doormeeting which will beheld May 30th.
It is probable that the programme adopted by the American
Athletic Union will be passed upon. This programme would
add the following events to the usual list of games given by
thePCAAA: 1— Five-mile run; 2— Three-mile walk; 5-220
yards hurdle; 4— Individual tug-of-war (unlimited weight);
5— Tug-of-war, four men on each side (unlimited weight);
6— Flinging 56-lb. weight; 7— Throwing 16-lb (formerly 12-lb)
hammer. The committee would do well to replace the tug-
of-war with a running, hop, step and jump.

AT THE OARS.

The Ariel Club members have repaired all their boats, and
are ready to begin the summer season. The club had out
four crews and bve siogle scullers on Sunday.

E. fleenan »f the Pioneer Club has commenced to train,
expecting to row for tbe championship at the amateur re-
gatta of the Columbia Club of Oakland which will be held on
Decoration Day.

The Long-Henceman race has ultimately fallen through on
account of Charley Long beiDg obliged to give up training,
thiough having contracted a severe cold which settled in his
stomach. His managers asked for a two week's postpone-
ment, which he was entitled to bnt Henetman would not sanc-
tion the postponement, claiming that tbe race should be de-
cided on the date already set. Knowing that Long would Dot
be in proper condition to row to-morrow, his backers decided
to lorfeit the money deposited with the San Francisco Chron-
icle, on the grounds that it would be much better to forfeit
the $250 tban to have him run the risk of beiDg defeated,
when his friends would be all left in tbe lurch. Long says

he is by no means scared by the Stockton oarsman'B speed
and tie feels positive that he can defeat him under favorable
conditions.

William Haurahan and E. M. Coffey of last years champion
Amateor ciew who resigned from the Ariel club l*Bt Jaouary
have made application to join the Pioneer club. They deserve
high compliments for their devotion to the art of sculling.

The canoe fleet of tbe Lurllne club was out in foil force on
Sunday. Captain A. C, Eonard was obliged to remain on
Bhore on account of some tvilly disposed person having cut
several boles through the bottom of his canoe the "Ho-Bo."

James Cochran, President of the Ariel club has purchased
tbe shell of Tom Brown aDd says if he makeB a success he
will keep bis cluo mate, Billy Growney, bustling for first
honors in the Ariel club.

Tbe directors of the S. P. Co. will at their next meeting
take action on the proposed building of a new boat house on
the site of the old depot of the Narrow Gaoge Bail Boad. It
would be a capital iuvesimeDt for the S. P. Co., as the differ-
ent rowing clubs have already a membership of 978 and with
the Olympic proposed rowing annex the improvement would
net the Bail Boad Company a handsome sum each mouth
during the season. They will have the entire support of the
Rowing Association comprised cf the following clubs;— The
Ariel, Dolphin, Alpine, Lurline, Pioneer, South End and the
V oion Club of Stockton.

UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS.

The field-te^m have made up their minds to be in good
tn'ni for May 30. Their motto is "Now or never.'' They
feel confident of victory, and with the addition of a conple
id good new men, last years team should certainly make it
interesting for the athletes representing the Olympic and
Alpine Clubs.

Tbe game of foot-ball which was played on Saturday week
was rather uninteresting. Bat very few spectators were
present to watch tbe game which was won by the U. C. team
with a score of 12 to 0. The University foot-ball team before
es-aying to play a good game needs lots of hard practice.

At last tbe heating apparatus bas been placed in the gym-
nasium, aDd tbe athletes are able to enjoy a warm shower.

The Students are highly pleased to hear that the cham-
pionship games will be held on May 30. They will now train
wiili a good will.

MoU'et will go io for the ruuDiDg high jump and hurdle
race and Bhould break the records io both events.

E. Coke Hill and J. G. Sutton will make a good show if in
the middle and long distance ruDs and possibly botb men
may earD a new record.

All of last years team will compete.

ON THE WHEEL.

The roads are not sufficiently hard as yet for riding. A
couple of weeks of warm weather will put them in fine con-
dition.

Tbe wheelmen should join hauds and build a new track
of their own.

Sanford Plummer will shortly l^ke hiB departure from
San Francisco.

On account of the Olympic Club track being so small the
P. C. A. A. A. will probably omit the bicycle events on May
30.

JOTTINGS FSOM ALL OVER.

A sculling match for the championship of the world has
been arranged between Neil Matterson and Peter Kemp, to
take place on the Parramatta course April 25tb. "William J.
O'Connor, the American champion, who has arrived in Aus-
tralia, will challenge the winner.

College athletes are gettiog into shape for the annual in-
tercollegiate championships. Harvard is getting a lot of
novices and expects to develop some good men at the differ-
ent games. Princeton aDd Columbia will have a rare old
tussle for first place, aDd if there is any upBet it will be fur-
nished by Yale, with Sheirill in tbe 100, 220 and 440. Tbe
meeting will be held in the vicinity of New York on the last
Saturday iu May, and the Berkeley Oval or Morris Park will
be the venue.

T. P. Conuiff, the well known distance runner of the Man-
hattan Athletic Club of New York City, has left the hospital,
and is now convalescing at his residence, 347 Wist 41st j
street. He will enter athletie games as soon as he can do so j
with safety.

The initiation fee of the Manhattan Athletic Club of New |
York is to be raised from $50 to S100.

It is said that the Nautilus Boat Club of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
cleaied nearly £900 by their joint gamea with Company H,
Thirteenth Regiment, at New York, on February 5th.

There was great excitement over the election of a President
for the New York Athletic Club. There were two candidates
— Jennings S. Cox, a banker, and Walter G. Schuyler, a
prominent man in athletic ciroles. The excitement during
the contest on Tuesday evening last was something fearful.
Schuyler was elected by a large majority.

The Board of Managers of the Amateur Atbletio Union
held a meetiDg at Wilmington. Del., March 1st, at which the
following clubs were admitted to membership: Massachusetts
Institute of Technology A. A.; Prospect Harriers of Brook-
lyn; Cathedral A. C, New York; Aciors' A. A. A., New
York; Bedford A. C, Brooklyn, and West End A. C, New-
ark, N, J. It was decided to hold the annual schedule meet-
ing in New York City on March 19th, and the discussion re-
garding the employment of amateurs in a clerical capacity by
athletic clubs led to ihe passage of tbe following resolution:
"Any person receiving compensation for services performed
in any athletic clnb, or in any capacity io connection with
athletic games, will be iue'igible and remain ineligible until
his case has been passed upon by the Board of Managers."
The Board, on this, very wisely decided that a rule would
not be applicable to all cases, and each must be investigated
and decided upon its individual merits. The large clubs of
tbe present day call for the appointment of clerical help,
which in no way interferes wilh the amateur statUB of the
employee; bnt a rule permitting this is liable to be stretched
to cover other employment of a questionable nature, and it
was to avoid such a rule that the above resolution was
adopted.

The progress of the MAC new building is beiDg watobed
with inteiest by the members, aDd tbe exterior is Dearing
completion. Tbe iron girders to support tbe roof of the
garden at the top of the buildiDg are iu place, and this will
undoubtedly be completed in a few weeks, when work on the
interior will be begun. It is authoritatively stated that the
club will move into its new quarters on the first of May,
though it is not expected that more than the first two floors
will be ready for occupancy by that time.

Cirrim's Gossip.

The Directors of the Monterey Agricultural Association
havs claimed the dates from September 30th to October 4th
for their annual fair and races.

"Andy" Welch, of Hartford, paid $4,600 for the Kentucky
Prince mare Jeanne on Wednesday at Kose's sale and on
Thursday turned her over to J. E. Madden of Lexington, E.y.
for $5,000.

Mr. Roseaays that the rumor that he has been offered $15,-
000 for the yearling brother to Mascot, the buyer to take the
riBk of his recovery from his tempeorary illness, is without
foundation.

I will esteem it a faror if my many readers will send to
this office any stallion cards they may have containing ped-
igrees of horses. Not only for the present year: but also any
old ones they may have on hand.

Wilson & Handy, Cynthiana, Ky., on Thursday of last
sold to StoDer & Clay of Paris, that State, the Silver Threads
mare Lady Mackey, bought by them on "Wednesday at Rose's
sale for $5,000 at an advance of $1,000.

E. C Archer of Linden sends me the bad news that his
mare Nellie by Partizan is not in foal this year. Her pro-
duae was entered in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity
Stake and her owner is sadly disappointed.

At a meeting of the Directors of the Napa Agricultural
Society held last week, it was ordered that Humboldt County
be added to the li=t of counties comprising the district from
which entries an eligible for their district race.s

Several gentlemen have bonded a piece of land in San Ma-
teo County for the purpose of buildmg a race track, at least
so it is stated. The land is Bitnated near Colma on what is
known as the Knowles ranch, and it is claimed to be a most
excellent site for the purposes ioreoded.

On Tuesday last Fontana by Almont, dam Fannie Williams
by Abdallah 15, was sent to the ranch of W. S. Hobart, near
San Mateo. She is one of the best broodmares in the State,
and should prove aD acceptable addition to the many choice
matrons already at the home of Stamboul.

The good folks in and around Pleasanton are puzzled in
selecting stallions for service, as there are so msny rare ones
to choose and select from. Among tbe numbsr advertised
are Director 2-17, Sidney 2:I9£, Roy Wilkes 2:12£. Guido
2:2Si, Corrector, Decorator and Admire. All royally bred and
worthy of this great state.

Mr. Frank H.Burke has determined to send Eros for a re-
oord this year, and with that end in view will only serve him
to a few mares. Compeient judg s assert that this son of
Electioneer and Sontag Mohawk is as speedy as any stallion
that ever left Palo Alto, and he should be, from hisbreeding.

After the formB had gone to press containing the entries
to the Blood HorBe meeting, a letter was received from W.
H. Babb of OregOD, entering ch c Guido (31 by Doable Cross
dam Aurora by Thad Stevens, in races 1, 4, 6, 12, 16, and
17. Those who save the list on another page for reference
Bhould alBO bear this in mind.

Alfred De Cordova and E R. Bowne, member of the New
York btock Exchange, last week bought tbe eleven-year-old
black trotting stallion Bayonne Prince 2:21£, from R Cadon-
gan of Bayonne, N. J., for $25,000. The stallion, which is
a son of Kentucky Prince, was originally bought by Mr.
Cadongan for ?500 His earnings in the Btud last year are
said to have been §22,000.

Within the past few days ex-Senator Tim McCarthy has
been carrying his hat on one side and putting on '*a sight of
frills," as one of his friends remarked, but he is justified in
his assuming superior airs, as M. M. Sage, of Pueblo, Colo-
rado, has named a well bred two year old "Tim McCarthy."
If the oolt is as much of a thoroughbred as the well known
politician, no road will be too long for him.

I had a pleasant call a few days ago from Mr. F. D. Cottle,
BuperiDtendenLoE the Frankella Stook Farm, owned by J. J.
Evaup, Esq., of this city. The gentleman rerorts the young
stock to be in good condition and the stallions Heraldic 8137
and Amberline in tbe pink of condition. Nest year "Frankella"
will be represented in the colt stakes and from the character
of tbe brood mares that Mr. Evans has picked up from
time to time, there should be a few of the "babies" that will
bring him fame and profit.

A dispatch anDouDcing that the Trotting Association at
Paterson, N. J., would otter a $10,000 purse for a match race
between Sonol and Axtell, the $105,000 stallion, was shown
to Mr. Ijames, one of the owners of the latter. He said:

"I cannot say wbat the opinion of the gentlemen will be in
the matter. It may be that it will be accepted, but I hardly
think Axtell will be in shape for a test of Bpeed. He now
haB over forty engagements in the stud, with which he will
not be through until some time in July."

The Rochester Driving Park, will as usual this year, give
their $10,000 purse for 2:30 performers. The -'Flower City
3take" is" now one of the regularly recognized events of their
annual meeting, and as it is open to all comers has generally
i large list of entries. This year should prove no exception
to the rule and we confidently expect to find a number of
3ahfoinian representatives in the list when it closes. If
my of our readers contemplate taking horses East, the ad-
'■'' rertisement of the Association should be carefully read.

Ed. Bither will leave for Pittsfield, Mass . to take charge of
the Allen trotters ou the 15th of this month. "Ed" writes
that he will have a good string to go on the grand circuit, and
that he will in all probability train on the Hartford track.

John A. Goldsmith, Superintendent of the San Mateo
Stock Farm, was in the city on Monday last, and promises
the public a surprise or two doriDg the coming season. Lil-
lian Wilk?s is running out, and has entirely recovered from
her disability,

J. J. Evans of California Street, has two fine young colts
for sale, and it will pay to take a look at thpm. One of them
is by Abbotsford Jr. (son of Abbotsford 2:1{H). dam Jane
Cottle by Victor (son of Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31); 2nd dam
by Billy Cheatbam; 3rd dam by Collier. The second one is
by Cornelius 11335 (son of Nutwood 600) dam Young Grecian
Bend by Shannon; 2nd dam Grecian Bend by Lodi; 3rd dam
Fanny Johnson by St Louis. These fine youngsters can be
bought cheap, as Mr. Evans has too many horse colts, and he
will dispose of them at a bargain.

Theodore Winters has been in towD several days this
week, and he denies completely that he has had any offer for
his great crack, El Rio Rey, The sensational reports which
were telegraphed from the East relative tu a syndicate who
were willing to pay §100,000 for the son of Norfolk and Mari-
on, evidently eminated from the brain of Borne reporter who
dreamed what he wrote. At the present writing Mr. Winters
has no intention of selling his horse, and he has yet to hear
from the mythical syndicate.

Many of the old time drivers have issued bonks giving the
benefit of their experience to the American public, and many
of the publicuions have attained a large sa!e. The new work
to be issued by Charles Maryin of Palo Alto will be ready to
issue about April loin, and we predict a larger sals for it thtm
was ever attained by any similar work. It will be 12 mo , of
convenient thiclmeSB, and will be bound in cloth, with git
back and title. Frank Whitney will be respon-ible for ibe
illustrations, which is sufficient guarantee that they will be
of a high order. Mr. Marvin relates his experiences in a very
readable way and also tells the reader the inside method of
his training theory at Palo Alto. There will be chapters by
other well known writers, and we have no hesitancy in rec-
ommending it to our readers. The price will be $3.50, and
those who desire to subscribe for the took can leave orders
at this office.

Entries for the Petaluma Colt Stakes.

Mendocino, Yolo,

Harry Cohen, formerly Secretary of the Eureka Jockey
Club, is in San Francisce at present, and he gives the cheer-
ing information that W. S. Clarke, owner of the race track
there, has built a neat two story hotel in the grounds, and
will spend at least a thousand dollars in improving the
track. H. M. Devoy, President of the club, and W. Ride int.
Sectetary, are at present preparing a programme for the July
races, and they promise to furnish a card that will draw
horsemen from all quarters of the State. They had a good
meeting last year, and I hope they may have a still better
one this.

Harry B.Slarr paid the city a flying visit en Tuesday to
lehver some of the mares that were sold at the Skinner sale

;ood condition, considering the frightful winter we have had.

las relieved that portion of a great deal of tbe water wlich
ormerly lodged there, and now tbe track is 6t to use on any

Spring Sales.
If there have ever been any doubta existing in the
minds of the general public as to the desirability of Bell-
ing first-class horses in this State, they must have been
removed on Thursday of last week when the highly-
bred brood mares of Mrs Silas Skinner were sold at
public auotiou at Woodside Farm. Notwithstanding the
bad weather, a large representative assemblage of prom-
inent stock breeders met there, each and all desirous of
securing some of the gilt-edged trotters offered by the
proprietor of the place. It was understood that the sale
was to be a clearance and without reserve, Mrs. Skinner
having determined some time ago to move to Oregon for
the purpose of looking after her very large interests in
that State.

When Mr. Killip announced that the sale was about to
proceed, the crowd that pressed closely around him
showed that the stock which had been catalogued were
being eagerly sought after. Samuel Gamble, manager for
W. S. Hobart, was there to try and add to the numbers
of the royally-bred matrons which are at present under
his charge. B- C. Holly also wanted several of the ani-
mals to take with him to his well known Hollywood
farm near Vallejo. Gilbert Tompkins had determined
that the brood mare list of the Souther Farm should be
increased and he Becured one excellent individual. Fred
"W. Loeber, of the Vineland S'ock Farm, was here, there
and everywhere. The Hon. F L. Coombs was also an
interested spectator; Judge "W. E. Greene, of Oakland,
Geo. E. Guerne of Santa Bosa and Alfred G. fame, was
there to see what could be picked up towards improving
his stock, and Harry Agnew was there to see what he
oould get bold of, but- was very unfortunate in his bids
as there were those present who aeemad to take a special
delight in outbidding him, Fred Talbot, of San Fran-
cisco, wanted a few of the good ones but had to leave
without purchasing. Charlie Scott, ot Napa, was look-
ing for bargains as were Dr. P. J. Dunne, G, C. Clay, C
M. Dougherty, A. C; Henry and many others.

The gem of the collectton and for which there were
many prospective buyers and liberal bidders was Fon-
tana, the well known Almnnt mare, dam of Flora Belle
2:24, Silas Skinner trial 2:23}, San Die^o and many
other good ones; the bidding was lively and spirited and
she finally changed hands, Mr. Gamble being the lucky
ourchaser at $4,400. "Veronica, a six-year-old mare by
Alcona 730, dam Fontana, was secured by the Souther
Farm at an outlay of §2,500. Dr. Dunne, of Berkeley,
was fortunate enough to secure Madonna by Cassius M.
Clay, Jr., dam by Joe Downing, for $2,000.

All of the stock brought large prices and the lesson to
be learned by the sale is, that where good stock is offered
and when it is understood that there are no restrictions
and no by-bidding, that the public will be tempted to
give good fair prices for well-bred horses.

Mrs. Skinner is to be congratulated on the prices
which were obtained for her stock, and the gentlemen
who bought are to be congratulated also in becoming
the possessors of animals which they need not feel
ashamed to show anywhere.

Messrs. Killup & Co. worked up the sale in a truly
masterly manner, and as we learn from the firm, it will
only be a matter of a few weeks until they give the first
of their spring combination sales, in which has already
been entered rniny first-class representatives from some
of our principal California breeding farms. It is to be
presumed that their next sale will be equally as success-
ful as the one just alluded to.

In conversation with Gilbert Tompkins, he informed
us that at a near future day he will offer for sale some
of the youngsters from the Souther Stock Farm; he haB
gone into the business methodically and with a system
that is bound to t ay in the long run. He proposes to
have his stock go to thu highest bidder, no matter what
the priceB may be. There will be no bidding in, and by
these means the public will become convinced that
whenever sales be advertised for and in behalf of the
Souther Farm, horses will really go to the highest bid-
der aud without any reservation.

Mr. Irviu Ayres has determined to follow in the Bame
footsteps, and Mr. Wilfred Page of the Rancho Catote is
inclined to follow suit. If the stock farms of California
will keep up what baa now been inaugurated, it will
take but a very short time for the large Eastern buyers
to cooie to California and attend our sales in this State
without the necessity of our breeders having to send
their stock to a far distant market.

The Belle Meade Sale-

When the annual advertisement for the Belle Meade
sale came in during the week, it made our mind revert
back to the many happy days spent in that great blue
grass country in which is situated the Belle Meade Farm,
one of the oldest of American nurseries. We have to
trust to memory a great deal, but we can safely say that
within the confines of the old farm, there were over 3,500
acreB. The soil the finest to be found anywhere in the
Western country, with plenty of timber, which is one of
the best tests of fertility; the great meadows are well
watered by the beautiful stream Richland Creek, and as
the great grazing paddocks are well filled with the choic-
est youngsters to be found on any thoroughbred farm in
the country, the sight as we saw it last was one beggar-
ing description. The name itself, Belle Meade, means
beautiful meadow, and it is aptly named. For over half
a century it has had the reputation of being the nursery
of race horses. The imported cracks, Priam, Eagle and
Bluster, have been the veritable Alexander Selkirks of
that remarkable region; they have ruled supreme in the
Belle Meade harem, and although their bones are laid
beneath the mighty oaks, and their dust mingles with the
fertile soil of a foreign home, their spirit still lives in the
fleet descendants of succeeding years, and brings more
delight to the eye, and new fame to the race track of
their remarkable Bires. Vandal, Jack Malone, Sir Rich-
ard, Highlander and Child Harold, have all held cour^
here, and these great kings were finally succeeded by
that greatest of all imported sires, the mighty Bonny
Scotland, who died full of years and honor in 1880; all
these have pasBed away, and we find reigning in thoir
stead Enquirer, Great Tom, Luke Blackburn, Bramble,
and the great horse of whom all Americans feel justly
proud for his great victories on the English turf, Iro-
quois.

The number of race horses that have been bred at
Belle Meade are simply legion; here was foaled Gamma,
the mighty grey mare who dominated the turf forty
years ago; among those of more modern celebrities, those
whose nameB are familiar to the present generation of
the race going public we might mention Vandalite, Vol-
tigeur, Bramble, Eland, Bazar. Euchre, Vidette, Venti-
lator, Sentinel, Planchette, Nellie Ransom, Camargo,
Belle of the Meade, Bombast, Bushwhacker, Bancroft,
Bootjack, Barn urn, Barrett, General Harding, Balance
All, Inspector B., Biggonet, Tyrant, Proctor Knott, Ni-
agara, Bendigo, Bella B., Egmont, Reporter, Banner
Bearer, Kee-vee-Nah, and a. host of others whose names
are still fresh in the public mind.

More convincing proof of the excellencies of this stud
could not be given; the names alone are enough to stamp
it as being one of the greatest breeding farms in the
United States. From those who have seen the lot that
will be sent to the auction block this year nothing but
words of praise can be heard. One gentleman told us
only a few weeks ago that next to Rancho Del Paso,
Belle Meade was the grandest breeding farm in the
country, and even then, said he, there are several indi-
viduals among their youngsters that I prefer to many on
your great California farm.

The twenty-third annual sale will take place at Belle
Meade, at public auction, on Thursday and Friday, April
24th and 25th, commencing promptly at 10 o'clock a. m.
The well known live stock auctioneer, Capt. P. C. Kidd>
has been retained to sell this extremely choice lot, and
we can safely recommend any of our readers who feel
disposed to purchase any of the youngsters catalogued at
the sale that they will receive good value for their money
by sending on a commission to Capt. Kidd, whom we
have known for many years.

A Great Combination Sale.

The State of Nevada has never had such a combina-
tion sale as will take place at Carson City, commencing
April loth, and continuing until all the stock is sold.

State Agricultural Society Colt Stakes
The colt stakes that have already closed received earn-
est support from all sections, and it is only natural to
suppose that those offered by the State Society, which
close to-day, will also be equally well patronized. The
events consist of two, three and four -year-old stakes, the
added money being $1,100 in all. Owners of good colts
should not overlook these important stakes.

The Rose Sale.

It wan a smiling crowd at the American Institute Building
yesterday morning, says the New York Herald.

Mr. L. J. Rose, whose California trotting stock, "good as
gold," was being sold, walked in with a pink bud in his but-
tonhole, and, greeting his acquaintances, his face became ra-
diant.

Auctioneer Peter C. Kellogg had ridden from one of the
Jersey Oranges, and upon his bright countenance there were
no traces of the fatigue felt the evening before at the close of
the biggest sale of horseflesh that had ever taken place.

The buyers of the day before and the prospective purchas-
ers of the occasion all felt happy, and even the horses whin-
nied as they were led under the hammer.

Forty-three head had been sold on Wednesday, and forty-
four still remained. There was as muoh gilt edge about the
latter as ornamented the former, and this was proven by the
prices obtained.

Mr. Rose and his pink bud took a seat on the right of the
persuasive Kello? g. and the sale continued. Nava, a Dicta-
tor mare, was the first lot that really rustled the breeders.
She was wanted, and thousands answered the auctioneer's
invitations, until $5,250 was had, when she became the prop-
erty of Mr. W. S. Hobart, and will again journey across the
continent, as her new owDer lives in San Francisco.

Sensation the second followed immediately. Nelly May.
an Electioneer mare, five years old, caused it. She is of very
fashionable blood and will prove a gem for the nobbiest
breeding farm in America. The first bid was 51,000, but it
increased and rolled up bigger and bigger until $8100 was the
notch, and the palms of Mr. Kellogg's hands meeting, that
was ber selling price.

And the buyer? Why Commodore J. Ma'colm Forbes of
Boston, whoLe yacht Puritan smothered Sir Richard Sutton'B
cntter Genesta when she wanted the America's Cup, and
who is also owner of the "Flying Fisherman" from Mr. Bur-
gess' hands — a yachtsman known the world over, a few
Tears ago Commodore Forbes or his representative purchased
liberally of high trotting stock in Kentucky, and the addi-
tion of Nellie May causes the impression that he may start a
breeding farm somewhere near Boston. If he does and is as
successful as he has been in his career as a yachtsman he
will be among the first producers of trotting stock in the
land.

And then another ripple, another sensation! Reverie,
bay filly, foaled January 5, 1SS8, was brought in. As a year-
ling she took a record of 2:36, and trotted a public trial on
September 15th last in 2:31J. She is by Alcazar, dam Sallie
Dorbrow by Arthnrton. Mr. Bose considered her a gem.
And no doubt somebody else, quite as good a jadge, thought
so. It was in December last that Mr. Bobert Bonner and
Mr. David Bonner were at Mr. Rose's farm at Los Angeles,
and Reverie was one of the animals shown the New York
gentlemen.

It may be shrewdly guessed that the owner of Maud S
and 8unol made a note about Reverie, as he was among the
early arrivals at the sale yesterdey, and when Mr. Kellogg
quietly talked of her royal lineage and of what she has done
and is expected to do, Mr. Bonner was an attentive listener.
And now how muoh for this great filly ?
"Ten thousand dollars!"
"It's Bonner's bid, Bonner's bid!"

Chairs were mounted, heads stretched, and dozens ran
around to the place where the bidder was standing.
It was Bonner's bid and the only one made.
"Ten thousand — thousand — thousand — any more?"
Mr. Rose laid his hand on Mr. Kellogg's arm with this re-
mark: "Don't dwell on the filly. I want to take off my
hat to Mr. Bonner!"

"Ten thousand dollars! Sold to Mr. Bonner! '
Mr. Bose raised his hat, Mr. Bonner lifted his, and the
crowd cheered. Reverie will go to her new owner's farm at
Tarrytown. ,-, . ~.

Broodmares of high quality are always as gold to tbe
breeder, and the catalogue being rich with them there were
frequent tilts for their possession. Chief among these was
that for Zoraya, a Guy Wilkes mare, four years old. There
was $5,000 sent at Mr. Kellogg at first, which inoreased until
all bidders dropped out but Mr. H. L. Stout of Dubuque,
and Colonel R. G. Stoner of Kentucky. Both were game and
didn't yield an inch until Mr. Stout qnit at $13,000, and
with $13,100 Zoraya became the property of Stoner & Clay
of Paris, Ky.

Zoraya had a foal at her foot, which was dropped as the
train containing Mr. Rose's horses was crossing the moun-
tains bound to New York.

The Stamboul and Alcazar youngsters also brought Btag-
gering prices. One colt, not yet a year old, pulled $6,100
from the pockets of Mr. George B. Easton oflPeona, 111.

Mr. Buppert considered a bay filly a year old the 19th of
last month, by Alcazar, worth $3,000, and so the great work
went on to the close of the lot.

And then Mr. Rose, smiling as he can, said to the assem
Wage, "You may be sure, gentlemen, I am greatly obliged
to you!"

To me a minute later he remarked:— "It is a great sale-
greater than I anticipated. I feel like treating the whole
house to wine!"

Among the interested spectators toward the close of tbe

sale were Governor Morgan G. Bulkeley, of Connecticut, and

his friends, Mr. Burdett Loomis and Mr. Leverett Brainerd,

of Hartford.

Forty-four head yesterday brought $95,725, an average of

$2,175,57.
Add fortv-three head sold on Wednesday for $140.2;0, and

there is had eighty-seven head bringing $235,955, making a

grand average o£ $2,712,59.
Beat it!"

I have an aged mare which suffers frequently from colic. I
feet her on bran and oatB, but the latter do not appear to be
well masticated, the greater portion being passed in the faeces
in a whole condition. Can you kindly give me an opinion
how to treat her, and if anything can be done to assist her
mastication

Answer. — In answer to your query with reference to your
mare, I would advise you to feed on crushed oats instead of
in the whole condition, also to have her teeth attended to, by
a veterinary dentist, (see advertisements Breeder and
Sportsman). If she should be attacked with Colic in future,
administer spirit of nitric ether two ounces, spirit ammonia
aromatic two ounces, tincture opium one and a half ounce m
a pint of warm water. If no relief is derived, give another
draught in two boors. A do3e of cathartic medicine could
be given with safety, on the first appearance of pair.

A HALF BROTHER TO

ALMONT PATCHEN,

(3:15, trial 9:13 3-4).

JOANITO JR. is a beautiful bright hay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1886. As a colt he baB
given much more promise than did Almont Patcben
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, be is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
spued, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him is
that business cnlls him away from this section of
the State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

The pedigree of Juanilo Jr. is by Juanito (sire of
Almont Patchen), dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom

( Bonnets o' Blue,
by Sir Charles

Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
boronghbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long list of winners. His sire Newmioster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam, Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. New»riinister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1834. Dam Beeswing,

sirej Is universally known us the best young sire in the world, a producer of extreme speed at an early age,

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted In public in his twovear-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandee in a r«eon the Bay District Track, the second heat of Which was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and hail it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question that he would hive Blmwn in public very close to the best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 84 Heconds.

Asafoor-year-oid Memo only s-arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, gre*t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C, T- if. B. A. meeting, but after BDOWtnjE several very fast mi lib hie leg filled and ne was Inld up for
tbese.inon. He is sixteen lunula high, and nf powerful build throughout. His col .r Is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition ii all that coula be desired, and Ms action superb. He is a Bure foal
getter, only one mare being report' d not In foal during his last season.

Santa Hoaa Horses.

habvey w. Peck

A friend and myself made a flying trip to Santa Hosa a
short time since. Oar time was limited, bat a slight sketch
of what we saw may be of interest to the readers of the
Breeder and Sportsman.

The first horseman to cross my line of vision was Mr. J.
E. Lawrence, Captain Grosse'a able trainer, driving the An-
teeo stallion Sunset. This horse is 161 hands high and will
weigh 1200 ponnds. He is a grand, big horse, smooth, well
tarned everywhere, fall of style, a handy-gaited fellow, with
speed enoagh to beat 2:30 this season. Tn fact his owner
claims for him a trial at Petalama in 2:33!. I know of no
better big horse anywhere than Sunset.

As Mr. Lawrence drove away, Mr. Mart Rollins came up,
and we repaired to the stable occupied by Mr. Rufus Mur-
phy's horses, who are in charge of Mr. Rollins. The tidy
appearance of the stable and the sleek coats of the horses
Bhowed that Mr. Rollins understands his business.

The only colt in the stable that is known to horsemen at
large is the three-year-old filly Maud D. She participated in
two races last year, winning second money at Santa Rosa
and first money at Petalama, getting a two-year-old record of
2.46£, if I remember correctly. Maud is by Anteeo, her
dam being a good little mare by Nutwood. She is a low,
long-bodied mare, and strikes the beholder as being "good
goods" as Boon as seen. She has a conformation built upon
lasting principles, and as a "wear and tear" trotter should
eqaal the best. She went a mile in 2:3S£ as a two-year-old
last fall, and considerable is expected of her the coining sea-
son.

Later on I met Mr. W. B. Sanborn, who, in answer to my
inquiry, stated that Ned Lock, owned by himself and Rufus
Murphy, had wintered nicely. Ned Lock is the first grand-
son of Nutwood in this State to beat 2:30. I make this state-
ment from memory alone, as I can think of no other grand-
son of "the old horse" that has entered the list. I am sure
there is none in the male line at least. Lock's sire was Ante-
lop**, a horse that was brought to Santa Ro=a sis years ago(
and made one season. He was afterwards taken to Oregon,
where he made a record this last season of 2:23J. While
Antelope was in Santa Rosa, I went out to the track in com-
pany with his owner, Mr. Duncan, to see him. I greatly
admired him, remarking to Mr. Duncan that I could see no
reason why his horse should not be a trotter, with opportun-
ity. He was a highly formed, solidly built horse, with grand
muscular development for a young horse, while his disposi-
tion was perfect and his intelligence of high order.

Like many another good horse, he did not receive very
much patronage. The gTeat mass of people never find out
the excellence of a highly bred horse until he is sold and
taken away, or dies, and then they silently kick themselves
Antelope has a worthy son in Ned Lock.

"We visited the farm of Dr. W. Finlaw nest. This place is
known as Rosedale, and is situated in the suburbs of Santa
Rosa. The Doctor has some highly bred stock, both mares
and stallions. The stallions are Daly (Gen. Benton — Elec-
tioneer), Laurel Dale (Anteeo— Don Juan), and Kinsman
(Anteeo — Gen. McClellan), while the best of the brood mares
are two full sisters to Alexander Batton, a coaple of mares by
Steinway, and others the breeding of which I do not recall^
are worthy representative matrons.

Our next call was upon Mr. McGraw, who is in charge of
Mi. De Turk's horses. Everybody knows Mao, a whole
souled man and a competent and careful driver.

We looked at the brown stud by Anteeo out of the dam of
Alexander Button. This is a good looking little horse and,
Mac says, can go some. Mr. E. C. Spear, of St. Helena,
Napa Co., has rented the horse of Mr. De Turk, and will
make the coming Beason with him at St. Helena, where the

horse should certainly ]do a|good business. We next entered
the box of Anti-Coolie. This stallion has always had the
reputation of being bad tempered, and hard to manage. He
developed no bad symptoms, however, as we entered, and
Mac says he is gradually getting over his bad traits. It may
be that he will be like his'.owner's wine — improve with age.
Anti-Coolie has always had speed, but be never could be got
to "rate" a mile, always wanting to rush off and trot over
himself. As a three yecr old he had * high flight of speed,
but his unreliability ruined his prospects. If he gets settled
and becomes a good actor it will interest most any trotter of
his age to beat him. Mac has confidence that he will make a
low record the coming season.

A very handsome filly is the Anteeo— Nutwood. A seal
brown, two years old, good size, finely finished, and is
threatened with speed. She is entered, I believe, in a couple
of stakes.

Several more were brought out until we finally wound up
at the stall of the black stallion, Silas Skinner, formerly
owned by Mr. McGraw, but now by Mac and Mr. I De Tork.
This horse was sired by Alcona Jr. (son of Alcona by Al-
mont) and his dam was Fontana by Strader's Cassius M.
Clay. Fontana recently sold at Mrs. Skinner's sale for $4,-
400. She is the dam of Flora Belle also.

Few horses can outshow Skinner in style and beanty. He
has a fine coat of hair, black as a raven's wing, and is a fine
feeling and toppy horse. His good qualities are not confined
to appearance alone, as men who know say he can go down
the line a right merry clip.

From here we drove to the S. P. R. R. depot. Mr. George
A. Stone, the agent for the Southern Pacific, is the owner of
the horse Illustrious. This horse was bred byWm.T. With-
ers, of Kentucky. He was sired by Happy Medium ; his first
dam by Strader's Clay, second dam by Almont, third dam by
Alexander's Abdallab, fourth dam the dam of Lola 2:15. He
is 15£ hands and weighs 1010 pounds. He is a very Kind,
gentle horse, and I liked his appearance very much. He is
after the blocky order, and if breeding counts for much, will
make a record that his owner will be proad of. I saw a little
filly by him, running lcose in a grass lot, and she can cer-
tainly move fast. Her dam, Mr. Stone informed me, was
Irene, (the dam of Florence R. 2:26}) by Erwin Davis.

Our last call was upon Mr. Geo. Guerne, who is well known
as a pleasant gentleman and hospitable host. Mr. Gaerne
has an elegant home in Santa Rosa and is always glad to see
his frienc's.

In the Btables the first horse viewed was the full brother
to Alfred G. This colt is of a heavier mould than his noted
brother, having wonderful substance everywhere, He is in
the stud thiB season.

Mr. Guerne's bay mare Eva G. is a fine specimen of the
well bred trotter. She is a long bodied, well tarned, racy
looking mare, with a splendid neck and head, while the ex-
pression of her eyes and the constant motion of the ears
betoken a high degree of courage. She is by Anteeo, her dam
being by Nutwood. If she fails to make a trotter she will
have to meet with accident that will unlit her for training.
Several colts were shown, and then the little brown hoise
Philosopher was brought out. This horse whs foaled in
1886,stands about 15 hands high and weighs about '.)~o pounds.
He was brought from Kentackey by J. W. Knox about 18
months ago. He was bred by Mr, T. E. Simmons of Wilkes
LoGge, Lexington, Ky. His pedigree is as follows: Sired by
Pilot Wilkes (son of Geo. Wilkes and Grace by Pilot Jr.) dam
Bella by Geo. Wilkes: 2nd dam by Bell Morgan, sire of Lady
Tarpin 2-23. He is a horse of great length, considering his
height, He is double gaited and can show lots of speed at a
pace. As will be noticed he is very Btrongly inbred, and he
represents very valuable strains of blood. He is a horse of
singularly quiet disposition for a stallion; in truth, I have
never seen bis equal in that respect. I am compelled to say

that many men in Sonoma coonty have attempted, without
knowing anything whatever of the facts of the case, to do
this little horse, his owner and the gentlemen who have had
him in charge, an injustice. Several men have told me indi-
vidually, that his breeding was not as represented. When
I pinned them down to the facts, they knew less abont hea
ven. Those kind of people remind me of a dog that comes
bouncing out of a door yard and barks himself weak at the
rushing railway trains. He really accomplishes nothing, bo*
do you suppose you could convince his cannie brain that he
was not a terror to the numerous trains at which he barks?
Just so with some people; They look at things of which
they know nothing, just as long as the Lordinhisin6crntible
providence prolongs their breath, and proudly imagine that
the voice of their vantings accomplishes a purpose in the
world. The fact that they display their ignorance when-
ever tbey open their mouths is not realized by tbem.and thus
the fine edge of their wisdom is never dull. I append Mr*
Bimmons note, answering my own in which I give the pedi-
gree given by Mr. Knox,

Lexington, Ky. Feby., 7th 1890.

Dear Sir: — The breediag of Philosopher is as stated in
your note. Yours truly, L. E. Simmons.

1 regret that time would not permit me to see several other
gentlemen who are interested in the horse business, but the
train waits for no man. Redwood is in Oakland, and Alfred
G. in Kentucky. Santa Rosa horsemen are proud of these
young horses, and justly so, for if ever two yonng horses
acquired fast records under more unfavorable circumstances
than these stallions, I am unaware of the fact. That they
both will lower their present records is beyond doubt.

The race track question is being discussed vigorously. It
would seem a great pity to have the Santa Rosa Track close
its gates. Even if no Fair was given, the track itself, as a
training ground, is of great value to many of the residents,
and of considerable value indirectly to the general public. I
certainly hope that it may be reserved from utter oblivion.

Our Australian Letter-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — It will be a matter of
news to the many who have visited Australia from Yankee
land to learn that the Hon. James White is about to retire
trom the track. He has been one of the most successful
that has ever appeared on this great continent, as the
well known colors "blue and white" have been carried to
many a victory.

The announcement that his racing stable was to be sold in
conjanction with a liberaldraft of yearlings and two year olds
from his mammouth breeding farm has caused a ripple to ap-
pear over the somewhat dull waters of the running turf here.
During the many years that Mr. White has been connected
with the turf he has placed to his crsdit 11 Derbies, 8 Lepers,
3 Champions, 3 Maribyrnong Plates, 3 V. R. C. Oaks. 3
Australian Cups, 3 Metropolitans, 2 Melbourne Caps, 4 As-
cot Yale Stakes. 1 Newmarket handicap and 1 Sydney cup;
truly, a marvellous record for any one man, and something
of which he may well feel proud. It was originally intended
that Mr. White would leave for England bo as to be
present when the English Derby was run, he having, as your
readers will know, two of his Australian bred colts entered
for that claBsic event, but owing to bad health his trip has
been postponed lor the present, so he will not have the satis-
lactiou of seeing bis entries start.

His great Bale will take place on Friday, April lltb, and it
seems a pity that information had not been seDtto the Onited
States sooner, for beyond a doubt there are maoy of your
large breeders who would have sent representatives or com-
missions here for ihe purpose of trying to get some of his
royalty bred horses. Of the entire lot which he bus in train-
ing at present, but one will be reberved, and that is our great
champion Aber-jjro. Some of the joangsters will include

get of Chester, Martini-Henry and Phil Athol. [Oar Aus-
tralian correspondent may be somewhat surprised when he
finds the Hon. T. B. Merry on the grounds waiting to nod
his head lor any of those offered for sale that may suit his
fanoy. — Ed. Breeder and Sportsman.]

J ana sorry to have to chronicle the dfath of one who is
well kcown to all visiting Americans. I refer to Hon. Andrew
Town, owner of the Hobartville stud. For some years his
colors were prominent on the turf, but of late he has
made a world wide reputation for himself in the judge's bos,
he beiug always seen at our important race meetings, and to
his credit be it said his decisions were never questioned. He
was the owner of the well known American trotting stallion
Childe Harold, whose get in the 1S89 Bales brought pooh
Urge soms; althoagh I am sorry to say that at the sales late-
ly held the trotting stock brought but very low figures, aver-
aging only a little more than $250. Although it was gener-
ally known that Mr. Town was laid up with illness at his
private residence at Lady Robinson's Beach, it was a great
surprise to hear of his demise, which ocoored on Monday,
February 10th. Typhoid fever was the cause of his death.
Mr. Towne was well known and highly respected throughont
all the Australian colonies, and especially in Windsor, where
he was best known.

It is only occasionally that we hear of a ''welcher" in the
colonies, but one Wm. BrownVas recently brought before
the magistrate at Williamstown, Victoria, being charged with
having levanted after losing a wager on one of the locil races
there. On Brown's being asked to plead, he Baid guilty, and
the Magistrate gave him three months with hard labor.

It se«ms to be the proper thing nowadays to send horses
to England, owners probably being influenced by the success
of Ringmaster in the old cuantry. The latest of our local
celebrities to leave is Chicago, a son of the Drummer and
Corisande, who has proven himself a Caaltield Cup winner
as well as beiug victor in other important races; while he can
not be compared with Carbine and Aberenrn, still he is a
good all-round performer, and if his legs will only stand
preparation he should make a rama for himself on the other
side; his underpinnings have already given his trainer con-
tiderable trouble, and. it was only as late as Inst New Year's
day when he pulled up lame after running in the Bagot Han-
dicap. Should he stand conditioning, Mr. Saville, into whos«
hands he goes on arrival in England, will probably have a
good bread-winner. The Hon. Mr. White will also very soon
ship to England the colts Wentworth aDd Nepean as well as
the filly Mons. Meg. As Mr. White has made up his mind to
go to England, that is probably the reason why he has deter-
mined to rid himself of the horses already in training.

Mr. C. Bruce Lowe of Sydney has received a commission
fiom one of your Calif orniau breeders to procure for him a
first-class stallion, and it goes without saying, if the animal
required is not up to all the expectations Mr. Lowe will have
nothing to do with him, he being odo of the moat conscien-
tious agents we have in New Sooth Wales. If there are any
others in your State who wish to impiove their stock by im-
porting from our shores, they cannot do better than to leave
their bnsiness in the handB of Mr. Lowe.

The weather here haB been very warm for this season of
the jear, and the attendance at many of the smaller race
meetings has suffered considerably in consequence.

Cheap English Horses.

Some very interesting particulars, anent prices paid for
and doings of horses "in the past" appear in the Bird of
Fieedom. It sta?6B that Octavian was purchased for £10 as
afoa', and afterwards won the St. Leger; he became the sire
of Oetaviana, who, in turn, was the dam of the great Cruci-
fix. Mother and daughter were purchased for £60, and after
the latter's brief but brilliant career on the turf — winning
twelve races in as many months — she bred Surplice, winmer
of a Derby and St. Leger. Venison was one of the nailing
good horses of the "thirties," who, costing but £100, went,
as a three-year-old, from one racecourse to another, and won
eleven races between Epsom and Doncaster, at the latter
place defeating Mundig. the Derby winner of the previous
year. Miss Ellis cost £40, and won the Goodwood Stakes
and Cup the same year (1S45), landing for her owner, the
famous Lord George Bentinck, a tolerable percentage on out-
lay. The Hero, winner of two Ascot Cops, a DoncaBter
Cup, a Goodwood Cnp, and every kind of long-distance
race, besides defeating all the best animals then running,
aDd Sweetmeat, one of the best horses of his day, for whom
4 000 guineas was subsequently refused cost the first owner,
with his dam, £30, the second £20! Van Tromp, at 300 guineas,
and his stabl6-compauion, the .Flying Dutchman, at 1,000
guinea^, won between them two St. Legere and a Derby
(Van Tromp ought also to have won the Derby), besides an
Ascot Cup eaoh and all sorts of other races. Voltigeur was
sent to D.»ncasler as a yearling, and no one would look at
him, and he was refused by the late Mr. Jacques of Elsby
Abbey at £100, only beiug purchased at last, after an extraor-
dinary trial (three, in fact), by the late Lord Zetland for
£ 1,500 and contingencies. He won the Derby and St. Leger,
and his match with the Flying Dutchman is a historical e-
vent- He was a grandson of Blacklock, and sixth in descent
frcm Eclipse; he is a'so the giandson of St. Simon. Stock-
well won the St. Leger, but his fame rests upon his marvel-
ous career at the stud. He was foaled at Mr. Theobald's
paddocks at Stockwell and sold to Lord Exeter as a yearling
for £180. Six of his get won the St. Leger, three the Derby,
four the Two Thousand, and one the Oaks. Indeed he is
ODe of the chief landmarks in the Stud-Book, the winningB
of his stock in a single year having reached over £61,000,
and without the colossal prizes which so assist the totals of
our present racehorses and sires. Kettledrum and Musjid
cost, as yearlings, 400 guineas eacb and Thormanby and
Virago 350 eacb; the three colls all won the Derby, while the
Hlly turoed out simply the best mare the world has ever
seen. Fisherman was ODe of the stoutest horses ever foaled,
and he, Weathergage, and old Tom Parr, their owner, were
a trio hard to beat, and such as are seldom now met with.
Weathergage cost £63, sold, or rather given away, out of the
Bedford Stable, by the order of that most prejudiced of men,
the late Admiral Rous. The horse landed two coupe, in the
Goodwood Stakes and Cesarewitoh, at the old "list" day
prices, which meant a fortune, and was Bold for a big sum
afterwards. Our contemporary does not refer to horBes pur-
chased in recent years for a trifling sum. Bendigo, for in-
stance, fetched £70 as a yearling, and afterwards had a bril-
liant career in England.

Our Tennessee Letter.

Gallatin, Tenn , March 12, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The light snows of
jaBt week were followed by much warmer weather in Ten-
nessee. The rapidly melting snow and ice caused an over
abundancy of mud and slush and training has been consid-
erably delayed in both this State and Kentucky. In Ken-
tucky the bitter pangs of real winter have been more severely
felt than in Tennessee, and the horses in training in that
State are several weeks behind those wintered in Tennessee.
After the snow, which was general throughout this State,
came rain in torrents, with no indications of its stopping for
several days yet. The owners of spring horses are getting
a little chary over the prospects of beiDg able lo bring their
horseB to the post fit for their earlier engagements.

The horseB iu quarters at Memphis are much earlier than
those at Nashville, and, with one exception, seem to far out-
class the st ike animals at the latter place. The two-year-
olds at Memphis are, or have been doing, four furlongs near
:50 and many of them are stepping quarters in :24, with
weight up. The elder division are not so forward as the
youngsters, and a mile in 1:48 is about the way the more ad-
going. The Memphians have

vanced

A youDg Western horse which had evidently been pam-
pered np and drnggad for sale was completely let down and
suffering from much fever. Findiug it necessary to employ
an active purge, I, at the requebt of the owner, used Sim-
mon's Liver Regulator, giving one pint doses twelve hours
apart, and as eoon as he could eat, giving it in powder form
iu brau. Iu one week he had folly recovered.— Geo. "W.
Rodfonu. V. S. Germantown, Fa.

of them are going. The
pinned their faith to old Terra Cotta, "and many
of them believe him to have a cinch on the more prominent
stake events in whicn he is engaged. George Hankin's faith
in the hero of other years, seems to strengthen as the old
horse grows older. He now has Jacobin, Little Minch and
Terra Cotta at Memphis, and all are said to be in fine fettle
These three horseB deserve a rest, not only for a few months,
but for the remainder of their days, We have Been Jacobin
when be could do his miles iu 1:41, and Little Minch aud
Terra Cotta have at times seemed invincible. The Hankins,
Leigh and Kiley combination will nrobably be one of the
strongest stableB in the West this season, and before the cur-
tains have been drawn over the racing drama of 1890, it
should have a lion's share of the Western Stakes.

The Cassidy string at Memphis looks to be one of the most
formidable stables of its size in the West, and a goodly num-
ber of races are likely to be captured by a representative of
the cherry and black Btripes of the St. Louis turfman. In
the three-year-old division Kitty Cheatham and Blue Blazes
look to be about the best, and are suggestive of good stake
winners.

Long FiBh, one of the grandest looking horses that ever
wore plates, and Clara C, both of which have a "dickey" leg,
will be the main reliances of the stable in the older classes
A pretty fair string of two-year-olds will doubtless make the
stable successful the coming season. Other horses of the
stable should pay for their winter oats, and render a consid-
erable balance on the right side of the ledger. Sir Abner by
imported Uhlan, dam Barbary, is the tip of the two-year-old
lot, and it is said he has the making of a race horse in him,
As a yearling Sir Abner was a very ordinay looking young-
ster, but, as an old turfman remarked to me a few days Bince,
"They go in all shapes." The Cassidy string field of opera-
tion will be confined to the West.

The present bad weather haB almost suspended training
at Nashville, but now and then a faBt two-year-old trial
serves to break the monotony. In the younger division they
say that the Wandering Jew by Kosciusko is the best one up-
on the course. The Wandering Jew iB owned by J. G. Greener,
and is in the charge of Major Buck Elliott of Billy Gilmore
fame. His sire, Kosciusko, was sired by Kyrle Daly, out of
Colossa, dam of Bella B, Inspector B and Getaway. As a 3-
year-old Kosciusko was quite a good horse, and he ran that
good mare Modesty to a head for the American Derby, after
one of the most hotly contested and excittng finishes ever
witnessed upon any course. After the Derby Kosciusko de-
feated Modesty very easily. In the Derby it took all of a
great jockey's persuasive powers and great skill to land the
mare a winner by a head in front of the blaze-faced son of
the Irish Kyrle Daly.

Charles Re9d, proprietor of Fair View Farm, is at home
this week from the city of Gath. The Fairview Stable is iu
winter quarters at Westohester. The horses of the Fairview
turfman were, we might say, a sore disappointment last sea-
son, and it cannot be said that Mr. Reed's return to racing
was signalized by any great amount of success. Timothy,
their crack two-year-old, only won one bracket during the
season, and then only a small purse at the Nashville spring
meeting. I believe he was troubled with a sore mouth all
the season, and was never able to show how good a colt he
was. Violante and Rebecca captured several purses for the
stable, and Peterborough succeeded in winning the Good-Bye
stakes at Coney Island, which was the only stake victory for
the stable during the entire year. This season, however,
the stable has quite a string af good-looking two-year-olds,
and a more successful season for the Fairview Stable than
was last may be expected.

Now it seems as if the Birmingham (Ala.) Jockey Club
has again fallen through. The management has failed to
arrange a programme, which does not look favorable towards
a spring meeting. Last year they expected to give a meeting,
but owing to a failure of the contractors in not having the
stables, grand stand, etc. completed, the inaugural meeting
was postponed until last fall. The Birmingham people do
not take very kindly to horse racing, and their taste for such
will have to be cultivated as was the trotting horse interest
in Tennessee. A presiding judge at themeeting this last year
tells me that thousands of the inhabitants of the Magic City
knew nothing of the race meeting being held there until the
meeting had been inaugurated for several days. This how-
ever, did not encourage the management to any great extent,
and it is likely they had to go down in their pockets for
enough fnndB to make both ends meet.

Addie Belle, 2:22£, pacing, who was campaigned last season
by Frank Jenkins, has been returned to her owner at this
place. I think this is one of the most remarkable mareB
Tennessee has yet prodaced and had she received the atten-
tion that is necessary to produce extreme speed, she would
no doubt have been the equal of Mattie Hunter, and others
of that class. When a 3-year-old I saw her pace over the
Gallatin track in 2:24 jt in the second heat of a winning race,
at that time the track was very slow, and had it been prepared
for the race, Hhe would have easily paced iu 2:18. Until
she was 3-yearn-old no one ever suspected that she had any
speed, but she showed a remarkable gait while working to a
wagon upon the farm. She is by Arohie, an obscure saddle
stallion that stood here many years ago, who also sired W.
R. VV. 2:22.}, Addie Belle has repeatedly paced halves in
1.05 with but little training. She has a head of her own, and
if Bhe can ever be induced to pace a ftw heats iu her best,
bhe will make the record tremble.

Bookmakers aie generally a very sharp and shrewd set of
people, but that bookmaker who thinks he oan violate the
law under the nose of Judge Riddley of Nashville only has to
try it once to be convinced that the judge means business in
regard to the recent amendment of the pool room law by the
Tennessee Legislature. Johnny Payne, an enterprising and
successful bookmaker of Louisville China down from that city
to Nashville and established a branch agency of the Climax
Pool Room of the former city. He would not lay the oddB
himself, but would telegraph all bets to his LouiBville house,
and they would telegraph results after each race. In this
manner Payne hoped to avoid the strong arm of the law, but
Judge Riddley instructed his grand jury to attend lo the
matter and lo return indictments against all parties concerned.
Some one gave Payne a friendly tip, and he vamoosed.
The Nashville authorities seem determined to break up pool
rooms in that city, and the actions of the last legislature are
lavored by all thorough horsemen.

Hickman Weakley, of Murfreesboro, Rutherford County,
has purchased for $1,500 the stallion Cuthbert by Cuyler,
dam Marcie S. He is a well bred horse and will prove a val-
uable addition to the rapidly increasing develooment of the
harness horse in that country.

The Tennessee Pacing Horse Breeders' Association met in
the Commercial Club rooms at Nashville Wednesday morning.
Mr. Frank Buford, the president, presiding over the meet-
ing, and in a few words explained that the meeting was the
annual one and the most important business was the
consideration of a standard, foimulated by theDirectors,
who were appointed at the first meeting. In formulating the
ruleBof registration the phraseology of the trotting horse
register was closely followed, and in but few instances do
they differ.

In Kentucky over a hundred broodmares have Blipped
their foals this spring. The caus« ofc this cannot be accounted
for unless it has been the mild winter up to March 1st. which
caused the graBB to be very forward and Bappy for the early
season of the year. At the Coldstream stud, imported Queen
Maud died in foaliog to Springbok, and The Niece by Alarm
slipped a foal to Springbok. Kingston Stud's imported Un-
dercrnst, by Brown Bread, slipped a foal to Longfellow, and
many other breeding establishments have Buffered by this
strange freak of nature. Had Kentucky, Tennessee and Cal-
ifornia thoroughbred breeding farms shared the 6ame fate to-
gether, the average prices of yearlings in 1S91 would be con-
siderably higher. There will be enough— even had one third
as many more mares slipped their foals — to Bupply the de-
mand to keep up racing until another crop could be pro-
duced. Xoors,

Kennesaw.

Such I found to be the general topic of conversation upon
my return home yesterday. Will you allow me lo make a
short statement in my own behalf, and a little lunger one
(based on figures) in behalf of Sidney? Yes? Thanks.

Well, I am eatisfied. My good stock sold fairly well, my
poor stock cheap, as it should have. Poor stock is worth-
less. Sidney's get were very much sought after, therefore I
am pleased. Was it sought after, though? some will say who
saw the average. Let us see. Yearlings sell lower than two
year olds and upwards. As Sidney had ten of his in the
6ale, Guy Wilkes one, and Director two, it made my aver-
age lower. I shall discard the yearlings for all three of these
horses, and then may be we can place them differently. Fair
for one fair for all.

three not bred brought $4,450 or an average of $1,483.33, it
wid be conceded that the buyer certainly gave as much for
the prospective Stamboul colt, or the colt at the dam's foot,
as they did for the dams themselves. None of Director's,
nor of Sidney's daughters had been bred or had colts that I
know o(— cerlaiuly none of Sidney's. Should Guy Wilkes
get all the credit for the high prices paid for three of his
daughters when those not bred bruught bo much less!
Should the avt-rage ot the three stallions be looked at equally
under such different circumstances?

Let any fair-minded man decide.

I tuist Messrs. Corbitt and Salisbury will not see anything
personal in this statement. I have great admiration for
their slock, but on account of the distorted reports of

Alterations and Additions to the "Rules of the

National Trotting Association, Passed

at the Biennial Congress, Feb. 12,

at Buffalo, N. Y.

After Section 1, two new sections will read as fol-

Rnle 1

lows:

Sec. 2. All owners entering horses in any of the stake or
pnrse races of any member of this association, and all drivers
in snch races shall be required to submit themselves to the
jurisdiction of the National Trotting Association. Any suoh
owner or driver who fails or refuses so to submit himself to
said jurisdiction and abide by its judgment and rnlings> or
tho3e of any mamber thereof, shall not be entitled to or
receive the protection of this association, or of its rules, nor
shall such owner or driver be permitted to start or drive any
hoise upon the track of any member. All members shall be
required to enforce this rule under a penalty of not lesB than
$100, or by suspension or expulsion.

Sec. 3. It shall be the duty of each member to report to
this association all material violations of the rules that may
come to its knowledge within one year after sue., violation
occurred; and it shall be the duty of the Board of Review to
investigate all material violations of the rules comiDg to its
knowledge irom auy source, and to adjudge the punishment
prescribed by the rules for such offense.

Rule 2. In Section 2, after the word "telegram" is added
"as well as the written entry." The effect of this amend-
ment is that the telegram and the written entry must be exact
copies.

Rule 3. In Sec. 3, after the word "conditions" the section
will now read ad follows: "And any nominator who is al-
lowed privileges not in accordance with the published condi-
tions of the race, or which are in conflict with these rules,
Bhall be debarred from winning any portion of the purse;
and upon sufficient proof of tne fact, he shall refund the
amount, if any. awarded him, and it shall be awarded to the
remaining hotses entitled thereto. And the said nominator
and the Secretary or other persons who allowed such privi-
leges, shall be deemed to have been parties to a fraud, and
be punished by tine, suspension or expulsion, according to
the judgment of the Board of Review."

Rule 6. In Sec. 4, the word "may" is substituted for
"shall" in the sentence which imposes a fine of $100. This
makes the punishment optional with the Board.

Rule 7. In Sec. 3, after the word "identity" there has
been added "and eligibility." In future, in case of protest,
the identity of the horse must not only be proved; he must
also be proved eligible. In the same section the date "twen-
ty-one days allowed for identification" is altered to "thirty
days." In Sec. 4 of the same rule, after the word "associa-
tion" there is added the sentence "or any party competing in
the race." This addition gives authority to such parties, as
well as the officers of the association, to call for proofs of
identity and eligibility.

Rule 8. In Section 1 a most important addition has been
made, which reads a3 follows: "Bat nothing in this restric-
tion shall be construed to prohibit a member from opening
a stake or purse lace with a condition that a nominator there-
in m»y start two or more of his entries." The old rule still
remains that an owner can only start one horse in a race, but
the above addition gives associations the privilege of opening
Bpecial parses or stakes with wider conditions.

Rule 15. In See. 1 the opening sentence has been altered
t a read: "A reward of $50 may, in the discretion of the
Board of Review, be paid," etc. The old section read "Will
be paid." The giving of the reward is now optional with the
Board.

In Sec. 3 of the same rule the word "conclusive" before
evidence is altered to "satisfactory, "and the time for return-
ing the premium or for furnishing information to sustain a
protest is altered from "three weeks" to "thirty days." In
Sens. 7 and S the same alterations occur as to time.

Rule 18. In Sec. 1, after the word "meeting," these words
are interpolated, 'except as to an unfinished race." The ef-
fect of this amendment will enable a member to trot out an
unfinished race on the week following its meeting.

Rule 26. A new section has been added, which reads as
follows: Sec. 2. The judges shall have power to examine on
oath all parties connected with a race, as to any wrong or
complaint made bringing in question the conduct of the same.
Rale 28. In Sec. 5 after tne word "improperly" there is
now inserted * 'at any time during the conduct of a race."
This does not really extend the meaning of the rule; it sim-
ply makes it more definite. At the end of this section
the following important addition is made: "The judges may
waive distance, except for fouls as to any horse for which
they have substituted a rider or driver." A new section is
also added to the rule, as follows: "Sec. 6. Any driver who
is intoxicated or refuses to comply with the directions of the
judges, or who is reckless in his conduct, and endangers
the safety of horses or their drivers in the race, may be re-
moved and another driver substituted at any time during
the race, and the offending driver may be fined, suspended,
or expelled; and the substitued driver shall be compensated
as provided in Sec. 5 of this rule."

Rule 29.— In Section 6. with regard to dead heats, the sen-
tence will now read: "When two or more horses shall make
a dead heat the remaining horses shall start for the succeed-
ing heat in the same positions with reference to the pole tnat
they occupied at the finish of the dead heat. ThoBe making
a dead heat shall be placed for the succeeding heat by allot-
ment by the judges."

In Section 10 that part of which once read "He shall not
change from the right to the left, or from the inner to the
outer side of the track." will now read "he shall not change
either to the right or left." This refers to the leading horse.
The following important addition is made to this section: —
"If in the opinion of the judges the horse coming to the
wire first was enabled to do so because of the help rendered
him by the offending horse, rider or driver, the judges may
declare such heat 'no heat,' and have the heat trotted over
(after the customary time between heats}. In case the of-
fence occurred during a deciding heat between the leading
horee and the cne interfered with, and the horse interfered
with finished second, then OLiy the first and second horses
shall be started in the next heat, otherwise all shall be start-
ed except those disqualified nnder the rules. If in the opin-
ion of the judges an arrangement or collusion existed be-
tween the drivers of the horses helping and the one helped,
then both horses and drivers shall be punished as hereinafter
provided in Section 11."

Rule 30. In Sec. 3 there is a vital addition, which very
much simplifies a judge's duties. It reads thus: "A horse
breaking four times in a heat shall be regarded as repeatedly
breaking, but nothing herein shall be construed into permit-
ting a horee to make four or less number of breaks without
being liable to the penalties prescribed. If in the opinion of
the judges a driver, allows his horse to make repeattd breaks
without being liable to the penalties prescribed. If in the
opinion of the judges a driver allows his horse to make re-

Deated breaks for the purpose of fraudulently losing a heat
he shall be liable to the penalties elsewhere provided for
frauds and fouls."

Rule 31. In Sec. 1 the latter part of the section, which
reads as follows, is stricken out: "And where tenor more
horses shall start in a race every horse not distanced shall
have the right to compete until the race is completed— subject
however, to all other penalties in these rnles." This erasure
will send all horses to the barn who have not won a heat in
five, irrespective of the number which start.

Rule 32. Sec. 2 will now read: "When two or more
horses have each won two heats, and there shall have oc-
curred between them a dead heat ir. any part of the race,
they alone shall start in the next heat."

Rule 42. Sec. 1 has been altered to read: "Any contest
for purse, premium, stake or wager, or involving admission
fee, on any couise, and in the presence of judges appointed
in accordance with Rule 25, shall constitute a public race."
The alteration simply emphasizes the fact that the judges
must be regularly appointed.

Rule 44. Sec. I has the followirg addition: "but time
made to wagon shall be a record or bar, as the caBe may be,
in races of every character.

Rule 49. Sec. I will now read: "All persons who shall
have been fined under these rules, unless they pay the fines
in full on the day when imposed, or when demanded, shall
be suspended until they are bo paid and deposited with the
Treasurer of the National Trotting Association."

The new part of the Rule consists of the words "or when
demanded."

Rule 62 is a new one and reads hb follows:
Rule 62. Sec. I. Whenever reasonable grounds exist
for a belief that any person can give material evidence that
would aid in the detection or exposure of any fraud or wrong
on the trotting turf, in a case under investigation, or pend-
ing before the Board of Review, or before any District Board,
the President or Secretary may require such person to testi-
fy by deposition or affidavit, or in person before such Board,
but without cost to the witness for necessary expenses. Any
person required to testify as aforesaid, who shall fail or re-
fuse to comply, may after due notice be suspended by the
President until the requirement is complied with, or until
relieved by the President or by the Board of Review."

Third Meeting of the Arlington Jockey Club.

The races of March Sth were postponed on account of the
rain aud run off Tuesday, March 11th. Tuesday was a most
delightful day, and all who are fend of eqaine sports were
present to witness the best raceB of the Arlington Jockey
Club. The track was neavy, but in better condition than
could be expected. There were many handsome turnouts on
the track and much interest was manifested in the contests.
The "short end" boys were jubilant, for they made money,
aDd the talent lost heavily. The pool selling was very ani-
mated. In the first event the following horses started:

Montecito Stakes; three-eighths of a mile handicap: purse
$30.

C. D. Diver entered br g Bob, and ridden by Diver;
weight, 160 pounds.

Crawford entered b g Joe Dandy, and ridden by Brown;
weight, 150 pounds.

J. Daniels entered ch g Ed. S, and ridden by Seth Loomis;
weight, 160 pounds.

Duryea entered ch g Grimbo, and ridden by Duryea;
weight, 160 pounds.

The pools in this event sold rapidly, Grimbo selling for
$10, Bob $4 aud the field $3. The four horses were given
the word to go to a most excellent start. Grimbo took the
lead immediately, closely followed by Ed. S. The latter
horse made a good effort for the race, but Grimbo had too
much speed. Grimbo won easily, Edward S. second, Bob
third. Time, 0:40.

The second event was a surprise to all the knowing ones.
The following horses started : —

Amateur Stakes, 28 class; one-fouith mile dash. Purse
$30.

C. D. Diver entered f g MeGintv; ridden by Diver.
J. Bailard entered g m Nellie Grey; ridden by F. Stoddard.
P. Lorlllard; Jr., entered br m Dado; ridden by Smith.
R. H. Stevens entered c m She; ridden by Menchaca.
A. Boeseke entered b m Mary; ridden by Boeseke.
Nellie Grey haik from Carpenleria in this county, and as
she beat in Ventura three years ago the famous Dotty Dim-
ple a half mile in :4S£ the boys thought that Nellie Grey
could not be downed. It was rumored tbat she could run a
quarter in :24. In the pools Nellie Grey sold for $10, She
for $3; and the field for $4. It was the liveliest betting race
of the day. A great many outside bets were made. Two
were that Nellie Grey would win the race. All the horses
behaved so well at the stait that they were soon dispatched
to a splendid start. Nellie Grey was in the lead till she
reached the eighth pole. She was then passed by McGinty
and Mary. McGinty won as he pleased, Mary second, Nellie
Grey third. Time :26. The boys who had bought the field
were rich, and for the next race they "plunged."

In the third event were entered the tollowing horses: —
Gaviota Stakes. One half mile handicap. Purse $40.
Mrs. Schaub entered s g Pete, ridden by McGuill, 150 lbs.
Duryta entered c g Lighifoot, ridden by Brown, 140 lbs.
Duryea entered c g Grimbo, ridden by Duryea, 175 lbs.
E. R. Den entered b g Mark B., ridden by Menchaca, 145
lbs.

S. Loomis entered br g Tom, ridden by Stoddard, 150 lbs.
J. Daniels entered c g Ed. S., ridden by Seth Loomis, 150
lbs.

Grimbo was a hot favorite at $10, Tom second choice at
$4, and the field for $3. Many of the field buyers argaed
that Grimbo was fast, but that 175 lbs. was too much weight
for him. Many pools wete sold in thi3 race, the admirers
of Grimbo feeling certain of success. The hoise gave trouble
at the starting post, but all the spectators were so delighted
by the beautiful afternoon that the time seemed short. When
the horses were sent away they were all in a bunch. Grimbo
immediately took the lead and ran easy for the first quarter,
but at the eighth pole he was a beaten horse. His rider then
let up on him. Mark B. won easily, Ed S. second, Pete
third, and Grimbo fourth. Again the field boys made money.
The time for the race was .54.

The fourth event was the drawing card of the aftemooo.
Free-for-all Stakes, poise $60, one-half mile, Free-for-all.
G. W. Leland entered g f Lucy, ridden by Clark.
J. S. Bell entered b g Sid Law, ridden by Pico.
A. Boeseke entered by ch m Maid, ridden by Appleton.
Sid Law and Maid are by Robbery Boy and Lucy by Acci-
dent. It was rumored in the track that Sid Law conld run
ahalf in :4Si. The pools sold: Sid Law $10, field $4 Mr.
Leland had faith in the grey filly by his stallion Accident by
Monday, dam Flora by Norfolk. The filly looked worn our
by hard work. In the scoring she showed her chances, for
the race were ten to one. She could not even break with

the other two. When the word was given Sid Lawand Maid
were half a length ahead and both immediately ran away from
her. She was never within four lengths of the leaders. Sid
Law and Maid ran like a doable team, and under the wire
Sid Law showed off first, Maid a neck behind and Lucv away
back. Time, 0:50*. -

W. L. Low, proprietor of the Commercial Hotel, was an
interested witness of the races. He sat behind his handsome
span of black geldings valued by him at $1,000. These
horses were in superb condition Tuesday and Wednesday
but Thursday morning at 6, Mr. Low was called out to his
stables and when he got there his groom was leading one of
the black geldings, and Mr. Low had hardly time to ask what
was up, as the horse dropped dead a few minutes later. They
immediately suspicioued foul play. They examined the feed
and found in the oats and barley enough "rough on rats" to
poison all the horses in the county. An examination was
made of the dead horses and it was found that the horses
had been fed crashed barley about 4 a. m. that morning. The
fiends who perpetrated the loul deed intended to poison the
fine horses, but were frightened by some noise. In a closed
box stall was Mr. Low 'a valuable stallion Royal George by
Seely's Royal George, and next to the black g*ld in ga poisoned
were two handsome mares. What will not the fiend do that
did poison two handsome, kind and valuable horses? Mr.
Low will not leave a stODe unturned to find the wretch, and if
he be found woe be to him, for these handsome geld-
ings were looked upon by Mr. and Mrs. Low as almost mem-
bers of the family.

A deed almost as bratal came to fight on Friday. J. 8.
Bell had his valuable bred mare Carrie B., by A. W. Rich-
mond, out at pasture. The mare has a most handsome
yearling by StambouL 2:12£, and is in foal by Alcazar. Carrie
B. has never been worked, and only driven a little to a light
buggy. The man who has the Rincon ranch rented, was
much in need of a working horse. He saw Carrie B. run-
ning on the ranch, so he took her up, harnessed her, and put
her behind (with other horses) his plough. Carrie B. was
seen by a passer-by, who noticed that the mare was in a crit-
ical condition. He brought her to town, and when J. S.
Bell saw his favorite mare in a dying condition, he immedi-
ately went for a physician. The mare, it is thought, will
die; at any rate, the colt that is due in April will surely come
dead. Legal proceedings were immediately commenced
against the farmer who took up a mare to work because he
needed a horse so badly.

Saturday, 15th of March, at 11 a. m., there was a match
race for $200 a side between Duryea's Fandango and Pierre
Lorillard Jr.'s Baby. Both horses carried 160 pounds. The
race was looked upon with much interest, as both horses are
well known here. Both were raised in the county.

Duryea entered s g Fandango by Arrellane'B horse; ridden
by Duryea.

P. Lorillard Jr. entered s g Baby by Robbery Boy; ridden
b} P. Menchaca.

The starters were Mr. Thayer and Mr. Barnes. The judges,
Chas. Fay and P. Dnryea. Distance, half-mile dash. Both
Fandango and Baby acted so well at the starting post, that
they were sent off on the first attempt to a most even start,
Fandango having a neck the best of it. Baby had the pole.
The horses ran the first eight in 0:12i. A blanket would
have covered them both. They reached the quarter in 0:23$,
the three-eighths in 0:375. Fandango gave it up. Mr. Dor-
yea saw it was useless to punish his horse, and pulled him
up. Baby won the race very easily; time, 0:53f . Both
horses are evenly matched as far as speed goes, bat Fan-
dango can not carry weight. Baby is a powerfully- built
horse, six jear old. He can run a quarter with 160 ttonnda
almost any dav in 0:23. T. M.

Communication-

Ractxe, Wis., March 10, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman, Sa>* Francisco, Cal.:
—You stated in your paper a short time since that I had gone
back on my contract, or had broken it with Mr. Valensin.
I don't know who gave you such information, and it matters
not whoever it was. I think it would have been only fair if
they had stated both sides of the story, and not tried
to advertise their slock at my expense. I will give you the
facts, and I wish you would please correct your former state-
ment. While I was in California Mr. Valensin made me a
liberal offer to train and drive for him, and left it open until
about January l=t or thereabouts. About that date I received
a tel gram frcm Mr. Valensin saying that he wished to know
my decision as he wanted to make stake entries, etc. I
wired him that I would accept his offer and had mailed a
contract to him to sign.

Instead of Mr. Valensin signing my contract he made out
another one, which differed greatly from the one that I had
mailed him. I have both contracts, and it is just as I have
stated. There was nothiDg between Mr. Valensin and my-
self, only that we misunderstood each other as to the condi-
tions of the contract. If he had signed mycontract, I should
have certainly gone to California and tried to please Mr. Val-
ensin, which I thiok I could have done, notwithstanding all
reports about him to the contrary. Hoping that you will
give this a place in your columns

, I am.

Blue BuU 75.

At last the blood of the Hero of Flat Rock is beginning to
be appieciated. At the recent Kellogg sales of California
trotting stock in New York City several animals were offered
having more or less of ILe blood of Blue Bull, and an bnt lit-
tle of this blood has ever been offered in this section before,
there was great speculation among oar breed3rs as to what
the public estimate would be a3 expressed by the crut-ial ttst
of the auction riDg.

The prices brought by these animals were as follows:
Gold Leaf, ch f. $8000, J. H. Shults. Brooklyn, X. Y.;
Thistle, blk?, $1000, J. H. Shnlts, Brooklyn, N. Y ; Habibi.
br f, $3300, J- H. Rupert, New York City: Miss Jay Eye 8t>e,
blk f. $1000, H. Kirkeiidall, Helena. Mont.; Mn6cadin, b c.
$1000. Scott Quiatin, Trenton, N. J.; Chostnat mare, $500,
said to be by Bine Bnll 75, but not eligible to registration.

But the most convincing argument of all was the price
brought by the ch m Wiggle Waggle, $2050. she being uo in-
bred Blue Bull and baving no oulcrosj to get the credit. Her
brteding is as follows:

by John E. Madden, has been shipped to Terre Haute, Ind.,
where she will be bred to Astell. Jeanne, who is now heavy

It is reported from Berlin that the Emperor William who
like his brother-in-law, the Duke of Augustenberg and
Prince Frederick Leopold, tak>s a great interest in the Ger-

Isaac Murphy will remain iu Kentucky until after the
spring meeting of the Kentucky Association, when he will go
East with the Dwyer Bros.' string of horses, which he will
take charge of. Murphy is in better health this spring than
ever before. He weighs 133 pounds, but expects to reduce
it to 112 pounds before the racing season begins.

The various tracksin the state have been so bad that it is
probable some peculiar form will be shown at the coming
running meetings. Sacramento, San Jose and Oakland and
the Bay District track have practically been unfit to work
on for the last two months, while Henry Walsh at Palo Alto
has been in as bad a plight having to use the lane.

The larger pool rooms in the city have a struggle on hand
to freeze out the smaller ooes. The grievance is that the
smaller rooms get the starters, odds, etc., from the larger
rooms who have to pay a large sum monthly to the Telegraph
Department for their lists. The probability is that the lesser
rooms will stay as long as their wealthy rivals, unless they go
broke Borne hard day.

Mr. M. Dwyer who recently passed through Memphis
on his way from Hot Springs, Ark., visited the track, and
among other things said to a reporter: "I took a look at
Terra Cotta, and I never saw him when he appeared in bet-
ter condition. There, I think, is one of the greatest horses
in this country, and those people who think he will not yet
win great races will be badly disappointed when he comes to
start."

At the Sweeny Combination Sale in Carson City, Nevada,
many promising youngsters will be sold. I have heard very
flattering accounts of several of them, and hopes of seeing
some of "them on the California circuit. The grand stallion
Gibraltar (Old Gib), with a record of 2:22i, and among others
the tonqueror of Eehora, Abbotsford, and many other well-
known performers, will also be offered at auction.

As a horse likely to run frequently this year J. M. Brown
& Co's. Texas bred sprinter Creole is invested with interest.
He is said to behalf bred only, and was a noted quarter
horse, but after Brown secured him he trained Creole as he
did other horses in the string, and now theNew Orleans touts
swear he can go a mile with anybody's horse In a six-fur-
loug dash rocently he won handily in 1:14$ with a good
weight up.

Santa Anita has already lost four broodmares: Too Hard,
Maggie Emerson (dam of Lucky B ), Fallen Leaf and Marie
Stuart (dam of Caliente), all in foal to The Emperor. It is
extremely doubtful whether Miss Ford will recover, while
Grisette (in foal to the Emperor) is expected to be all right in
a week or two. Cold, wet weather, bad stabling, and worse
attendance, is said to be the reason for the unusual Bickness
at Santa Anita.

At the Kempton Park March meeting on March Sth the
race for the champion hurdle handicap of 1000 sovereigns.sub-
scription of five sovereigns each, two mile over eight flights of
hurdles, fifty four subcribers. twenty five of whom paid five
sovereigns each, was won by Capt. L, H. Jones' five-year old
bay colt Theodolite. Mr. F. S. Gooch's four-year-old
bay colt Papyrus waB second and Mr. C. Hibberfe six-yearold
Castillian third.

A few days ago Ed Corrigao, the famous Western turfman,
paid a flying visit to New Orleans, bat was off asain before
his presence in the city had become generally known. It
now transpires that Mr Corrignn visited New Orleans for the
purpose of buying J. M. Brown A Co. 's three-year-old bay
colt Red Light by Leonatns, dam Idalia by Red Dick, hut
his offer of S5.000 failed to tempt Mr. Brown to part with the
promising youngster.

Clay & Woodford. Runnymede stud, shipped East 10 days
ago a brother to Fordbam two years old, which was pur
chased last Spring by The Dwyer hrotbers atthe Woodhuro
yearling sale." He was not sent ou with their other yearlings,
owing to being hnrt by an accident too bad to travel. His
heel was bruised but it is now well, and from appearances
he promises to tread in the footsteps of his speedy brother.
He cost the Dwyer Brothers ©1000 last spring.

The yearlings at Woodburn this season nninber uearly
fifty head, and according to Mr. Brodhead's estimation are
fully up to those of any other year. Prominent amoDg the
number are full brothers to Fordbam, Troubadour and Penn
P , and half brothers to Foxhall, Fresno and Gallifet. Since
1869, when yearling sales were first inaugurated at this es-
tablishment, twenty-one sales have Wen held arid 782
colts and fillies disposed of for $542,404, au average of $693,

Jockey Anthony Hamilton, the famous middle-weight rider,
was at Clifton yesterday. Hamilton has been several
weeks with some relatives at St. L^uis, and looks in good fet-
tle. He said that he expects to report for duty to Trainer
Rowe at Babylon L I,, about the last week in this month or
tbe first of the next, and that he will be able to ride a pound
or two lighter this season than laBt. With the material in
the Belmont stable to handle, Hamilton haB a good oppor-
tunity this year if he sticks to his business.

Although late in the season Mr. Dietz is out with his
Riugwood cards. $50 the season seems no price for a bod
of Sydney 2:193 — the greatest young speed producer at an
early age in the world — with a thoroughbred oross to give
stamina. Ringwood himself showed great promise as a four
year old working a trial handily iu 2:19 J, and but for an un-
fortunate accident at Napa would undoubtedly have ob-
tained a record of 2:18 or better. All Ringwood's colts show
great promise and style, and he is a Bure foal getter.

Ben Bruce is of the opinion that Riley, Protection and
Prince Fonso, in the order named will end this year's Derby.
In the East most of the trainers seem to favor the Prodigal
Son. A well-known trainer said recently: "I think Prodigal
Son will win the Kentucky Derby. He was pretty well up
in most of his races, and met the best of the East. But he
is one of the kind that improves, and will beat most of them
who beat him last year. He is a beautiful colt. He looks
like a Lexington, and I'm satisfied he'll improve.

Following if a list of the thorough bred mares Clay & Wood-
ford will breed this spring to Mambriuo Russell (half brother
to Maud S. 2:0S:T): Dreamland by Billet— Delight; Retreat by
Virgil— Return; Vellum by Bertram or Billet — Vassar; Meddle
by Wanderer — Manbatta, Theckla by Billet — Glena; Waif
by Wanderer — Ei; BaBtante by Bramble — Melrose; Gram-
macita by John Morgan — Meteor* bay filly by King Alfonso
— Benita and Fairy Girl by King Furo. If this experiment
proves a Buccess trotters will aloo be bred at Runnyuaede.

Despite the graphic accounts to tbe contrary, it is not Mr.
Baldwin's habit to break all, or any of, his thoroughbreds to
harness. As a matter of fact, Los Angeles, Volante, The
Emperor, and the other Santa Anita cracks, never had harness
on them, and there is only one instance where odo of the
Santa Anita racers has been hitched up (I think it was Car-
rientes). and that was a few months ago, and he kicked the
harness into pieces, and did a good deal of damage to a barbed
wire fence, dying from blood poisonirjg, the result of his at-
tack on the barbed wire fence.

Among the many trotting stallions at Oakland Bonanza is
attracting as much attention as any on account of bis looks and
his near relationship to so many game, speedy performers. Bo-
nanza is by Arthurton, sire of Arab 2:15, Joe Arthunon 2:20|,
etc.; his dam is Sister dam of Albert W 2:20 and she is by Trus-
tee out of the Lamott mare dam of Aurora 2:27, who is the dam
of Arol 2:24^-. Bonanza ka-i a record of 2;29J, and has repeat-
edly shown miles better than 2:25, and with his Hambleto-
nian. Star, and thoroughbred blood all close np should prove
invaluable in the Btnd.

In a little stable near the winter track of Clifton an old
horBe stands all the day long and listens with head erf ct to
the thunder of the hurrying hoofs when the races are being
rnn. Shaggy and rough does tbe old horse look, and bis
once glossy sides are branded and marked by many a crnel
whip aud spur. In spite of his humble surroundings, how-
ever, there is an air of conscious pride and power about him,
and at times he appears to be listening to the app'ause of the
shouting thousands of the by gone years; for aR he stands he
is the great captain of the old guard of the turf, the last and
the mightiest of the illustrious line of Bonnie Scotland,grand
old Barnum.

A great deal of unnecessary disease is even now, contract-
ed in Borne stables by the indiecriminate use of the same
stable bucket, and frequently of clothing, says the Sporting
World In glanders there is only one thing to be done,
which is to destroy the infected animal aud bury him deep
rfith quick lime, everything, harness, blankets, etc., and all
the thiDgs which come in contact with the body should be
burned, and the stable, after scraping, thoroughly dosed with
carbolized whitewash and then planked over, or, better still,
the stable Bhonld not be used at all for some time for Btock.
There are literally no remedies to be given when once the
disease has been developed. In its first stages, as faroy, it is
in many cases amendeble to remedies, but in its developed
stage, as glanders, curative remedies are still entirely un-
known.

The Supreme Court deeided a few days ago that betting
and bookmakinp on races run outside of the State of Ken-
tucky was illegal, and persons violating the law were liable
to indictment. The sporting fraternity were determined not
to be outdone, and tbe Climax Pool Room of Louisville, Ky.,
established a betting agency in Nashville, bets on races being
transmitted by wire.

Judge Ridley, of the Criminal Court, learning of thiB
move, summoned the grand jury before him on tbe 12th,
and instructed them to make an iuvestigatiou aod indict
every perBon connected in any way with tbe agencv, or as-
sisting in making bets. He said the betting was in'violation
of the law, the claim of agency being of no avail. The action
of the grand jury is awaited with no little interest.

There have been many attempts at artificial starting. Mr,
Finigm had his idea some seasons ago, but it wsb given up
as a failure. Capt. Harris's was just as much of a failure,
and to are all ways of starting except with a born starter. Mr.
Hunt, an Australian gentleman, has a Dovel idea for startiog,
bnt the chunces are it will not work well, and it, like all
other contrivances of that kind, brings one back to the old
standing start Mr. Hunt's invention consists of a pair of
flexible steel gateB, meeting on tbe centre of the course. On
these is placed a red flag, the horses being drawn up in a
line some 90 feet behind them. The starter pulls a string
which causes tbe flag to fall, and releases tbe oatcb in the
gnte, which, being made of vulcanite and steal, and operated
upon by a powerful spring, disappears into cylinders fixed
on either side of the course.

The New York Spirit of the Times of March Sth, says: At
the Hoffman House there was a Dotable litlle crowd of gen-
tlemen from California devoted to the trotting horse compar-
ing notes on Monday night, the evening preceding the initial
day of the great Kellogg sales. Count Valensin, the owner
of the wonderful sire Sidney, smiling and affable, discussed
the breeding problem with Mr. Monroe Salisbury, the owner
ot that magDiticent campaigner and sire, Director, 2:17, while
the evergreen veteran from Kentucky, \V. H. Wilson, put in
an occasicnal sentence replete with wit and wisdom. Mr.
Kerr, the proprietor of the Califoruian Breeder and Sports-
man, a very genial and well informed horseman, who is here
attending the sales, talked glowingly of the gigantic strides
which California was making as a breeding State. The unan-
imous sentiment of thecrowd was that the present prosperity
of trotting hor^e interests was thoroughly heilthy, and that
good stock would always command high prices.

I had a very pleasant, chatty visit from "Wilber Field Smith
last Monday. Wilder says that although he sold several
youngsters — the three I mentioned last week — he is still in
the ring, and will Boon bate their p^ces filled. Mr. Smith,
after careful consideration, has decided to send three mares
to Sidoey, 2:19|: His grey mare by The Moor, dam by Peck's
Idol, granddam by Pilot Jr.; Pansy, 2:24| {sister to Thap-
Bin, 2:214.). by Berlin, dam Lady Hubbard by B^neeia
Bjy, and a mare by Echo 462, the well known son of Rys-
dyk's Hambletooian, and sire of Belle Echo. 2:20. Senator,
2:2H, Victor, 2:22, Gibraltar, 2:22£, Echora, 2:23*, and eight
others in the 2:30 list, and dama of Direct, iunr year-old,
2:1S£, and Pink, 2:25, The mare's dam is a grandly bred
tb.oroogh.bred mare, and all three should produce trotters by
the crack producer of early speed at an early age.

The Board of Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural
Association nitt last week, pursuant to the call of the Presi-
dent, at Xo. 7A North Maiu street. President Lichtenberger
was in the chair, and Directors Wright, Hiods, Wise, Work-
man, KobiU'on aod Newton present. The Prea dent report-
ed that the sale had been consummated and the money paid
for the lots at Agricultural Park owned by the association, to
the Redoudo Beach Railway Company. The lots were sold
for $0,000 The President reported that there was $S,62S in
the bank to the < redit of the association. A discussion was
had as to the next annual fair, and it was decided to claim
the dales of August 11th to 16th inclusive. The Directors
decided to meet in seven days at Agricultural Park and look
over the race track with a view to deciding about the new
grand stand, club houses, etc., which are to be erected at a
csst of several thousand dollars.

The Secretary was iustructed to advertise two and three-
year-old trotting stakes for 1890 and 1S91

Robert McGregor, 2:17i, one of the most famous of trot-
ting sires, has been purchased by Johu E Madden, of Lex-
ington, Ky., from R. I. Lee, of Topeka, Kan., fur a fancy
price. The stallion is the sire of Bonnie McGregor, 2:13i;
of Burns McGregor, 2:29 as a two year-old; Roxie McGregor,
2:20£, and others in the list. Robert McGregor i* nineteen
years old, and combines in his breeding the blood of Alex-
ander's Abdallah and Seely's American Star. He and his son.
Bonnie McGregor, hold the fastest combined record for sire
and son. He is a game horse, and his get develop early speed
and stamina. His book, forty mares, is full for the season at
$500, and breeders are anxious to secure his services. Mr.
Madden, who is in New York, retuses to state what he paid
for the stallion, but it is know that the price is upwards of
$25 000. The horse will remaia in Kentucky at Mr. Mad-
den's farm.

The New York pool rooms have opened np again, and
many were in fall blast during the last two days of last week.
Their managers profess to be doing only a "commission busi-
ness" on the races at Clifton and Guttenberg. It was gen-
erally believed that they would remain closed until after the
legislative committee had finished its investigation of the
various city departments. A disagreement as to the terms
for protection seems now to have been the reason for Lheir
closing. It is said that they p»id some one $150 a month
for protection a d that this some one raised the price to $200.
This the pool room men refused to pay, but the story now is
that a compromise was effected at $175 a month. At one
time there were forty-three rooms which contributed to this
protection fund. How many contributors there are to the
new fund is not known, except to the collector and bis prin-
cipals.

The bill to kill the winter race tracks in New -Jersey by
permitting racing for only thirty days in the year on any
course came up for final passage in the House on March 12th,
and created a spirited debate. Kalisch, the introducer of
the measure, made a long and effective speech for it, denying
that the act would in any way legalise gambling. Voorhees,
of Union County, said the devil himself would be puzzled to
give a good reason for the existence of the winter tracks. The
fiequenters of tbo=e courBeB were of the lowest type of hu-
manity, he held, but laws prohibiting gambling upo-j them
could not be enforced, owing to the grip that the associations
bad upon the officials of the counties in which they are loca-
ted. The tracks were maintained in winter for the purpose
of gambling, be declared. The sentiment of the State 1b
against this kind ot Bport. At some of these tracks eighteen-
year-old horses were run as often as two-year-olds, a form of
cruelty that should be abolished without delay. The bill was
passed by a vote of 34 to 10.

Peter Manee dropped into a reminiscent mood the other
day, and there was a good laEsoninshoeiog brought out at the
same time. The Horsemen says: He contends that in nine
cases out of ten a trotter or pacer will go faster if shod all
around, with very low toe and heel calks. It gives the horBe
surer foothold and less liability to make missteps and hit his
legs or feet. On calling for proofs he said. "Well William
H. Allen and Mary A. Whitney. I tried them both ways
and they could go much faster with the calks. Mr. Bonner
tried them on Pocahontas and Murphy drove her down to the
half in 1:05k Then Mr. Bonner gave me §25 for the hint."
Speaking of Mary A. Whitnev, Petersays she could have had
a much faster reoord, but he was saving her for the 2:30 class
and the day she made her mark of 2:28 at Fleetwood, in W.
H. VanCott's time it was given him, as there was a "grand
kick" about calling slow lime. He then made Daniel Mace
drive Vanity Fair the next heat in 2;25 to win it. Peter will
be on the war-path the coming season with Monkey Rolla.

The sporting exhibition which opened on the ISth at the
Grosveuor Gallery, London is one of the most interesting and
remarkable collections of the preeent day. Amongst the
exhibitors are her Her Majesty The Queen who Bends with
other greHt works Landseer's "Sanctuary," and two paintings
by Carl Haeg. which have a special value apsrt from their
merits — viz., "The Royal Family at Rochn&gar." with portrait
of the Queen aud Prince Consort and their children, and
"Evening at Balmoral." in which the Dnke of Sase Cobnrg-
Gotha and Lord Aberdeen are also represented. Emil Adams's
* Bend Or" and "Ormonde," and Stubbs's "Mambrino," the
ancestor of every first rate trotter in the United States, are
amoogst the canvases representing equine wonder?.
Among curiosities there are W. M. Turner's fishing-rod, the
first racing prize ever given in England, a set of silver bells
belonging to the Corporation of Carlisle.the portrait of old Mr.
Tattersall and TattersalFs "as it wa«," and a complete series
of English fowling-pieces, from the cross-bow down to the lat-
est breechloader.

The aristocrats of the English turf have always held aloof
from the trotting element and Buch taleB— probably correct —
as the Col Wood one are Dot calculated to create any respect
for (ratters. It seems according to the N. Y. Sun that apro-
pos of Col Wood, it has come to light that a clever bit of turf
jugglery was performed in connection with his shipment
abroad. Ibe gelding was purchased by C. G. Frazier, for-
merly of Eagle Bridge, New York slate, who had previously
bought horses and taken them to England. Frazier acted
for J. A. Prince Smith, of Vienna, and it was supposed that
the horse woold be taken direct to Austria. Sborily after
Col Wood was shipped from this port, it was given out that
he had been lost on the voyage. The horae, however, was
quietly takeu to London, where an important handicap trot
was abont to take place at Alexandra Park, and fur which the
contestants had already been named and bets made on the
result.

Ooe of the favorites had broken down in training, and as
Col. Wood tore a strong resemblance to him be was substi-
tuted, and before the trick was discovered the race was cap-
tured by the fleet American, and a good sum, said
to be about $100,000, went into the pockets of the principals
in the job. The English managers of the race ruled the con-
spirators off their track when they leart-ed ihe truth.

Soon Hfter this Col Wood turned up in Vienna, where he
was no lunger masquerading. In his first race there he was
distanced for running, though he was known over here as
one of the handiest trotters on the turt. The European
method is to divide the course into sections, marked by flags,
and the rule requires that when a horse leaves his feet he
must recover and be trotting when he reachea ibe next flag.
Since then Col. Wood has retrieved his loBt honors, and is
now looked on as one of the cracks of the continent.

Protection, the junior champion winner, shows great
signs of improvemeut. He has grown and spread out in a
remarkable degree, and trainers at Latonia think highly of
his chances for the Kentucky Derby. Dungarren, the brother
to Catalpa, is a very handsome two-year-old, and Trainer
Hannigan believes he has in him another Hanover. None
of the horses at Latonia have as yet done any rapid work,
but their preparation has been steadily going on, and from
present prospects they will be r-ady to meet their Southern
rivals when the bugle calls them lo the post in May. The
outside track was put in order last week, but its use was
only available for a few days owing to the heavy rains. So
soon as the weather again settles it will then be kept in first-
class condition until spring. Among the stables in Central
Kentucky that contemplate going shortly to Latonia is that
of Frank Harp r, which is one of the most formidable aggre-
gations in the We?t. The programme book of the coming
spring meeting at Latonia will be out in a few days, and its
principal feature will be its large an-ay of rich purses, which
will be up to any series of like raees ever offered by any
Western association.

The first homebred mare the late Lord Falmouth ran was
the celebrated Qoeen Bertha, who won the Oaks in 1863
In regard to his betting propensities, his only bet is always
said to be as follows: In the eutoinn of 1861, Lord Fal-
mouth, who then raced under the assumed name of Mr. T.
Valeotine, betted Mrs. John Scott, the wife of hi* then
trainer, sixpence that Qneen of Hearts beat Q. E. D. in a
Criterion Course Sweepstakes for two-year-olds. His lordship
lost. On the One Thou-and Guineas day of 1862, he pre-
spnted Mrs. John Scntt with tbe sixpence, set in a handsome
pin, and that very afternoon carried off the stake juit men-
tioned with the Wild Dayrell fill? Hurricane. An English
sportiog writer says this is not the only bet Lord Falmonth
ever had. The other gamble was a new hat on the St. Leger
of 1S78, with Lord Alington, to the effect that Jannette, the
bearer of the "magpie." beat Childeric, (both the property of
the Lord of Mereworth) and this Lord Falmouth won. Lord
Alington afterwards offered the late Lord Falmouth a sover-
eign In pajment, to which his lordship good-humouredly re-
plied: "Oh, no; our bet was a new hat; and mine cost 30b
each!"

Sunol and Axtell will not meet this season. AU the recent
talk about a match between these great trotters has not the
slightest foundation. There did exist a hope of such a race,
and it was caused by the offer of the managers of the new
trotting track, Dundee Park, near Paterson, N. J , to give a
purBe of $10,000 for a race between these phenomenal trot-
ters. The proposed race was to be beBt three in five, in
harness. National Trotting Association rules to govern.
Ijams, one of AxteU's five owners, in speakiDg of the pro-
posed event, said that Axtell was atabled at the Terre Haute
(Ind.) farm, 'and woald earn $40,000 this year in the stud.
This being the case, tbe horse woold hardly be in sbap* for a
great test of speed. Robert Bonner, the owner of Sunol,
said the other day, that there was not the slightest probabil-
ity of a race. "When I paid for Sunol," said Bonner, "it was
with the agreement and understanding that I should let her
remain at Gov. Stanford's farm until nest October, to give
him an opportunity of lowering her record. He therefore
has charge of her racing record this year, and I have nothing
to do with her. Gov. Stanford holds the mare at my risk,
and Bhould anything happen to her it 1b my loss."

H. L Levy & Brother, manufacturers of boys' clothing, at
No. 19 Mercer street, New York, failed, and their place of
business has been closed by the Sheriff. They have been in
business since December, 1SS3, when they succeeded Norris
& Levy. Their Btock was damaged by fire July 26, 1SSS, and
it is said they received §6000 insurance and the damaged
goods. Their statement January 19, 1889, claimed assets of
S74,450, and liabilities 814,000, leaving a capital of $60,450.
Both the partners, Herman L. and Aaron, are young men,
and their failure Is attributed to horse racing, in which they
are currently reported to have loBt $22,000. Herman Joseph,
attorney for the judgment creditors, said that the boys tried
to run horses and were heavy losers. They formerly had a
stable of twelve horses, and were interested in a race track in
New Jersey, but they made a failure at it, were attached
there, and the hor.=es were sold out. They also lost heav-
ily in a Twenty-eighth street pool-room. Aaron Levy, when
be was married a few years ago, received $10,000 from his
father-in law, Mr. Jacobs, who since then also lent him
$5,000.

That well known horseman. Capt. W. A Kerr, in a recent
letter to the London Live Stock Journal, gives his reason for
the importation of American remounts: The more I see of
the manner in which our b itteries are horsed and our cavalry
mounted, the more am I confirmed in my opinion that never,
within the memory of man. has the British army been so
infamously underhorsed. The fault lies, not with the In-
spector-General of Remoun-s. but with those who vote the
sinews of war. By paying a better price, the French and
Germans secure the pink of the market.

I have not heard that Majjr-General Ravenbill baB ex-
pressed an opinion adverse to the Canadians; that officer's
hurried ranter through tbe Dominion would not. however,
justify an opinion opposed to tho^e of others equallv eutitled
to rank high, aud who have had wider and longer experience
of the Nortb American horse.

I never ventured to suggest that our island eenerat-purpose
breeds are to be improved bv those importations, though I
did recommend the getting bock of some of the Margrave,
GleDcoe, Priam, Tranbv nod Leamineton mares. Moreover,
I have hazarded au opinion that Blu* Gra^s is about the
best of the premium millions, fox hall's performance*, not
to mention those nf Iroquois, taught ns bow transatlantic
horses «»llop. and I question if we have many horses capable

There is an almost podigal liberality about everything
done under the auspices of the New York Jockey Club, says
Town Topics. Tiffany & Co. recently received the largest
order for high class engraved stationery that was ever given
out for private distribution. It consisted of an engraved an-
nouncement of the erection of the new clab house and an in-
vitation to become a member of the New York Jockey Club
without payment of the ipitiation fee, at annual dues of $25.

The club house, it is stated, will be kept open all the year
round. Thousands of these announcements with accom-
panying engraved blanks signifying a desire of the recipient
to be listed were sent to men of the leading clubs throuehout
the country. The new club house will be the finest build-
ing of its kind in the world. The applications for member-
ship are, I am informed, coming so fast that the limit will
soon be reached. Bot the lavish expenditure up^n the new
clubhouse, and the quite irresistible inducements held oot to
insure a select membership has an ulterior purpose in ele-
vating tbe social tone aDd fixing the standard far above the
ordinary in racing associations. The many eligible men of
the Union, Knickerbocker, New York, Manhattan and other
clnbs of this and smaller cities that have already joined the
New York Jockey Club guarantees the excellence of its com-
position. That the fashionable olientele of Jerome Park
which gave to that historical racing ground the especial
stamp of social distinction, will transf.-r its fealty to the
youager organization, is no longer a matter of doubt. The
contiguity of the New York Jockey Clab in this city, the
location near at band of several of tbe swell suburban and
hnnt clubs, combined with the opportunity of enjoying the
privileges of the handsome clubhouse and grounds, will make
aracibg day scene with the gathering of drags, stately eqi-
pages and mounted men and women, strongly suggestive of
the English Ascot. It is a deft hand and facile miud that
may grasp 'he various details of the business management of
so prodigious a turf enterprise, and at the same time manip-
ulate with requsite finesse the social side of the project into
enviable prominence. It is peculiarly fortunate for the New
York Jockey Club that its Secretary, Mr. T. H. Kock, cam-
biues the business energy and savoir /aire that have pot tbe
association in the front rank of racing organizations in this
country. In the meed of praise accorded Secretary Kock the
capable Assistant Secretary, W. H Powers, must not be for-
gotten. I am sure that his fair minded chief would be tbe
first to desire that his efficient aid should have becoming
recognition.

The Rosemeade sale seems to have either supplied every
one or disgusted every one with any other class of hordes.
The Backman sale on the lltb was practically a failure, and
the Rockefeller mares sold badly, considering their great per-
formances and grand breeding. Prominent among them

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports atad Other Pastimes.

EDITED PT ARPHIPPU8,

SUMMARY.

Great prepirationsarej being made for the coming cham-
pionship games. The students at Berkeley are more deter-
mined than ever that the flag will cross the bay this time.
The Field captains of the Olympic and Alpine Clubs are urg-
ing their men to train that the pennant may remain on this
side. The athletes of the Olympic Clnb held a cross-country
run from Sansalito on Sunday, and to-morrow the Alpine
boys will hold their initial cross-country inn from the same
place.

KUX-NERS, WALKERS, JUMTERS, ETC.

A glee club has been organized at the ™vewity by^ <he
following students: P. G. Someifl, '92, .ndH.O. Baldw u,
'91, first tenors; A. W. Gunnison *91. and G. W Howar ,
eecond tenors; Hugh Howard. '90, andC H Bentley 91
first bass; and V. C Carroll, '93. and Walter Mayee second
bass. During the Bummer vacation the club will make a tour
of the interior towns, the proceeds of their concerts to be
applied toward the furtherance of athletics at the college.

The annual eames of the St. Andrew Society will be held
on Saturday, May 3rd.

Both Lean and Kolb are getting into good trim for their
coming wrestling match, which will take place at the Olym-
pic Club rooms April 29tb. Lean has already reduced twen-
ty pounds, and expects to be as hard as a board on the
evening of the contest. Kolb is also getting rid of his fat
and there is no doubt but that the bouts will be long and
hotly -contested.

The date of the "Ladies' Night" exhibition of the Alpine
Amateur Athletic Club has been set for Tuesday, April 8th.
The nest outdoor games of the club will be held probably at
the Bay District Track on Sunday, May 4th The programme
will be given out in a few days, and will be published in
these columns nest Saturday. There will be ten events in
all four of which will be open to the members of ciubs be-
longing to the Faei6c Coast Amateur Association. The open
events will possiblv be: 100 yards handicap run, 880 yards
handscap run, 5 mile handicap mo, and seven mile walk
handicap. Gold and silver medals or jewelry prizes will be
awarded the winners.

The members of the University Athletic club are becoming
quite pro6cient in the horizontal bar exercise under the able
tention of Leader Magee. He is also instructing his pupils
in the art of high jumping and expects to develope one or two
new men in this branch of sport of May 30.

A conple of hundred people were drawn to the Bay District
track on Sunday by the announcement that a Series of sword
contests would be given on that dav in which some of the
crack swordsmen of the world would figure. Before the
tournament had been brought to a close those present were
satisfied that they had been duped and it was with weary
hearts that they made their way to the cars which brought
them to the city again.

In the issue of the Occident, (the University official t r $ n)
of March 14-, a letter appeared over the nom deplume of "Ath-
letic." the conduding'portion of which ran as follows: ''The
U. C. has in its team all the men who won places for us last
year and it has beside" the best class athletically considered
that ever entered the U. C. from which to draw men.

Dobbere, Hunt, McNear, Gates, Mays, Van Dyke and
Whiting are all "phenoms" in their lines and they are Dot
afraid to train. Put a little enthusiam back of them and the
Olympic Athletic club will have to import more than one all-
round Irish athlete in order to carry off that game." "We
presume "athletic" is one of the college athletes, and we are
really sorry to discover that the U. C. boys are so deeply em-
bittered against the Olympians. Be it said to the credit of
theO. A. C. athletes that while they are doing all in their
power to encourage each other to train for the coming games
they certainly are not publishing discourteous articles rela-
tive to their rivals across the biy; they believe in rivalry,
good natured, manly rivalry, but they do not stoop so far as
to incourage unfriendly emulation. Tbe Olympic team will
be even stronger than ever and with the Alpine Club to help
it out it is very doubtful if the championship play of '90 will
be carried across the bay.

The tenth cross country run of the Olympic Club wes held
at Sausalito on Sunday last. About twenty-five ruDners were
present and enjoyed the journey. The air was cool and fresh
and JQBt suited for this kind of sport. The course was in
fairly good condition and lay along side the sea shore. The
run was to Lime Point and return, the headquarters being
Dexter's Cottage. The first men home covered the distance
in 55 miuutes. The following athletes toed the scratch:
Frank O'Kane. "W H Woods, J A Christie, W M Phelps. P F
McDonald, D B Crnne. F F Piowdeo, G F Green, D J Bar-
nett H M Collins, F F Foster, H Egbert, "W THaberly, Frank
L Cooley, C T HeBS, A C Thornton, P Ward, J Kortick, C J
Jelliueak, A S Henderson, E S Martin, R G Cole, J H Davies
E Gross and H S Allen. W A Scott, S V Cassidy and Capt.
George W JordaD. In the afternoon too men sat down to a
nice lunch which was prepared by Mrs Boss Jackson.

Messrs. Lakeman (Chairman) and Townsend have been ap-
pointed senior representatives on the athletic committee of
of the University Athletic Club.

F E Holland, the well known sprinter and jumper has
joined the Alpine Club.

The new ranniog track at the California Athletic club
rooms is now used only by fat prize fighters who desire to re-
duce their avoirdupois. The amateurs have all turned their
backs on the club and are now members of legitimate ath-
letic clubs.

Walter Smith, formerly boxing instructor to tbe Lurline
Club, has been engaged to instruot the members of the
Alpine Club. He began his duties on Wednesday evening
last, and those who took lessons from him regard him bb a
first-class teacher. His clasB-uights will be Monday, "Wed-
nesday and Friday, from eight to ten p. M.

The members of the Olympic Clnb are anxions for Professor
Cornell's return from the East. His old olasB badly feels his
loss.

Every afternoon and eveuing the outdoor men of the O.
A. C. praotice on their new track. On account of tbeir cross-
country rou on Sunday last, only a few athletes vieitf d tbe
grounds.' Several of the championship team will sleep at
the grounds for pome weeks previous to tbe ganif-s, that they
may better be able to get into good condition.

Peter Mclntyre is proud of "his" track, and he says he will
never give the boys a chance to grumble about its condition.

The ioitial cross-country run of the Alpine Amateur Ath-
letic Club will take place to-morrow from Dexter's cottage,
Sausalito. Over thirty of tbe members have already signified
their intention of starting. C»ptain J. J. Larkey will act as
the pace-maker. Tbe course will be to the Lime Point Light-
house and return. Lunch will be Berved after the run.

If earnest solicitation counts for anything. Captain E. Coke
Hill, of tbe University Club, will have his field team in good
trim for Decoration Day. Like Richmond, he goes fiom
"tent to tent" urging his men to battle.

Up to date the field captain of the Alpine Athletic Clnb
has selected tbe following men to form his team for the cham-
pionship games: For the sprintB, John D. Garrison, J. J.
Larkey, R. J. Luttringer, F. E. Holland. 0. A. Eldridee; for
the half and milerons, H. C. Cassidy, E. P. Moody, Charles
Little; for the walks, P. N. Gafney, A. Cook and H. C.
Philips; for the field events, CharleB Vultee, Jas. Sexsmith,
J. J. McKinnon, F.E Holland. This list does not include
include the names of several prominent amateurs who have
been proposed for membership, but who have not been yet
elected. The team will probably be made up of about thirty
men.

The report that McLaughlin of the Alpine Clnb had been
matched to fight a member of the Acme Club of Oakland is
not correct- The Directors of the Alpine Clob know nothing
whatever of the affair.

The new outdoor grounds of the Olympic Club will be
turned over to the Athletic Committee early next week, when
the athletes of the club will be enabled to commence regular
training. The grounds and track are now entirely finished.

THE WHEELMEN.

The Oakland Bicycle club held its second rnn of the sea-
son on Sunday last. The ran was to the Cliff House, through
the Golden Gate Park and home by the Presidio.

The Bay City Wheelmen contemplate building a club house
of their own.

Several wheelmen visited the Park on Sunday and enjoyed
the musical programme.

The Alpine Athletic Club will include a bicycle race on its
next out-door programme.

AT THE OARS.

An unusually large number of boats were out on Sunday.
Several crews from Long Bridge rowed to Hunters Point,
and to the Sugar Refinery. The North End Clubs sent out
crews to Harbor View and along the water front.

The different boating clubs are beginning in earnest to
make preparations for the coming season. Crews are being
formed, boats are being overhauled and the club houses and
slips are being repaired.

The Alameda Boat Club is gaining in membership and
some of tbe local oarsmen will need to train hard in order to
keep the prizes at this side of the bay during the summer
months.

The Lurline Club intends purchasing several new racing
shells in the near future.

The Ariel Club will sadly miss its last years champion
crew at the coming regatta.

Charley Long has almost entirely recovered from the ef-
fects of a severe cold which he contracted while training.

CLUB JOTilRGS.

The regular monthly meeting of the Golden Gate Athletic
Clnb will be held on Wednesday evening next, March 26th,
at the club rooms, 190 Stevenson street. A fine programme
of boxiDg bouts has been arranged.

It is only a matter of time until some of the so-called ath-
letic clubs are broken up. The exhibition given a few even-
ings ago under the auspices of the Occidental Club was a suf-
ficient proof that square, scientific boxing matches are on
the wane, and that lovers of genuine sport will soon have to
become members of our amateur clubs in order to witness
first class exhibitions.

A meeting of the Paoific Coast Amateur Athletic Associa-
tion was held in the club rooms of the Olympic Club on Fri-
day evening last, Walter A. Scott presiding. E. P. Moody,
of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club, was elected Secretary
of the Association vice J. J. Jamison of the Golden Gate
Athletic Club, resigned. It was decided to hold the annual
championship meeting on Decoration Day. May 30th, at the
new grounds of the Olympic Athletic Club. A committee was
appointed to act in conjunction with the O. C. A. in forming
a suitable programme of events. The games will be held un-
der the auspices of the O. A. C. In addition tu the regular
list of events there will he a couple of events added to the
programme in which only members of the Olympic Athletic
Club will be allowed to compete. Handsome souvenir pro-
grammes are to fbe gotten up for the occasion to commemor-
ate the opening of the new grounds.

At a meeting of the Silver Gate Athletic club of San Diego
last week, a board of Beven directors was elected for the en-
suing year. The directors elected were as follows: W. E.
Hayden, T. J. Waleott, Frank Goodendorf, Thomas Gallagh-
er, A. Whitrnore and Fred Matheison.

The officers elected were W.E. Hayden, president; T. J.
Waleott, vice president; Frank Goodendorf, financial secre-
tary; A, "Whitrnore, treasurer.

The club has a membership of 70, each member paving
dues of SI per month, and it now has several hundred dol-
lars in the treasury.

The ambition of the club is to have grounds and build club
rooms of its own, as did the Turn Verein society a year or
more ago,

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Tbe Cornell Foot-Ball Association is in debt $700. It cost
S3. 000 to run the eleven last season.

There are over fifty cross-country clubs in New York,

The annual championship meeting of tbe Canadian Ama-
tuer Athletic Association will be held on Sept. 27th, at Mon-

The great eight-mile handicap cross-country run under the
auspices of the National Cross Country Association was de-
cided at New York on Saturday last. W H Day, the scratch

The RacinR Board of tbe League of American wheelman
recently adopted the following rule: Any cycle club will be
allowed under special sanction of this Board, to pay the en-
trance fees and reasonable traveling expenses of a member
whom tbey may desire to represent them upon the path, but
without this special sanction no competitor in amateur
events shall accept from bis own club, or from a club pro-
moling sports at which he competes, any payment for his ex-
penses, under penality of suspension from tbe track for a
lime at tbe discretion of the board. No rider will be allowed
to have his entrance fees or any expenses whatever paid by
an officer, member, committee or department of an athletic
organization other than a cycling club.

At the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletics of America, it was decided to hold the an-
nual championship games at the Berkeley Oval on May 31st.
The following board of officers were elected: President, F C
Miller, of Princeton, class of '90; Vice-President, F R Coates,
of Lehigh, class of '90; Secretary, D C Babbitt, of Lafayette,
class of '90; Treasurer, H H Sanger, of Cornell, class of '91.

At a meeting of the National Cross Country Association
held at tbe Grand Union Hotel, New York City, Feb. 13th, a
resolution offered by C C Hughes, of Manhattan Athletic
Club to amend the rule which prevents athletes who have
not residsd in this country one year from competing in cham-
pionship runs, bo as to allow such athletes to compete in in-
dividual runs, not for the championship, was adopted.

It is about time that the proprietors of the New York Spir-
it of the Times and of the Turf, Field and Farm put a stop
to the personal controversy of their athletic editors. Etch
week the readers of both journals are compelled to digest col-
umn upou colomn of spiteful personal matter. These quar-
reling scribes should be made confine their notes to legitimate
athletic Dews.

The largest canoe ever constructed in the United States is
that now being built for the Rochester (N. Y.} Canoe Club by
Capt. Ruggles. It 1b modeled after the Toronto Club*s big
canoe Huck-ta-hee, is 30 feet over all, 50 inches wide, and 22
inches deep amidships. It will be manned by sixteen pad-
dles, although it can be easily handled by four men, and is
intended to comfortably accommodate thirty-five persons.

The Union Armory in New Haven, Conn., was well filled
with interested spectators on the evening of Saturday, March
Sth, gathered to witness the annual joint meeting of the Yale
Athletic Association and the Second Regiment. The meet-
ing was open to all amateur athletes, aod the clubs of New
York and vicinity, together with Harvard University, were
well represented in the different events. The entertainment
afforded satisfaction to the lovers of athletics, although no
specially good performances took place.

Williams, who tendered a complimentary breakfast to his
confreres, C C Hughes, J H Mellorand Will Frank. The

preliminaries of the monster handicap run, to take place at
Morris' Park at 3:30 P m Maroh 15th, were decided upon. The
committee wi'l visit Morris' Park next Sunday, 9, to lay out
tbe course, which will be done in such a manner as to "have
the entire race run in full view of the spectators in the grand
stand: The obstacles in the shape of fences, hedges and

the next eight placed men will receive a fine trophy: ' The
runner who makes the fastest time in tbe race will be award-
ed a handsome silver cup by the New York Herald: The cup
will be a credit alike to the paper and the lucky winner, and
the competition for it will be the feature of tbe great race.
The New York Jockey Club will give a handsome trophy to
the club having the first six men to finish: Each starter will
receive a solid silver souvenir medai, to be stricken from one
of the National Cross Country Association's standard dies.
The Games Committee has rereived assurances from about
every prominent dub and college within 250 miles of Now
York City to the effect that entries will be sent to this gigan-

A proposition has been made by tbe League of American
Wheelmen that a committee from that body and one from the
Amateur Athletic Union meet and arrange a settlement of tbe
differences now existing between them concerning the pay-
ment of travelling expenses and entrance fees of the racing
men. It is hoped that the impending war may be averted by
carrying out thiB proposition.

Tempest, 2:19, has not won a-race in South America as yet,
although she has been in the hands of that careful condi.
tioner, Charlie Parker, who has also handled J. Q. A gen-
tleman writing to an Eastern contemporary, says: A great
many of the owners of trotters are dissatisfied with the judg-
ment on the races this season. The facts are that they
received their jast dues. As they cannot win with a hop-
skipping runufr, they kick. Our rules are very strict in
regard to running. A horse running twenty-five meters iB
distanced, and twenty-five meters is not far. The kick comes
when they finish first, and are set back for running. People
coming here with trotters should bear (bis in mind as a
good level-headed horse that can go the distance on a trot
if uot a record-breaker, will prove a bread-winner, as there
is plenty of racing.

THE FARM.

The Beef Outlook.

BY JOHN M. STAHL.

We all know that the price of cattle is too low. Eighty
per cent, of the men that have fattened cattle during the past
three or foar years have fed at a loss. What are tlie reasons
for this? Some put the blame on Armonr and the other
dresaed meat men. I have no love for Armour, bat I be-
lieve that if the dressed meat men are gnilty the batchers
are far more gailty. Whether or not there is a combination
among dressed beef men to put the price of cattle down, no
outsider knows; hut it is significant that there is a wide-
spread impression that such combination exists. It is cer-
tain that in some stook yards the buyers for the dressed
meat men are in command of the situation; they fix prices;
Farther, cattle bid in by a dressed beef buyer in Kansas City
cannot be sold for more in Chicago than was offered in Kan-
sas City. This indicates pretty clearly that the dressed beef
men have control of the market. It may be only an "under-
standing," not a combination. Does not this control of
prices on certain grades also argue collusion on the part of
stockyards companies?

But while Aimour pays low prices for cattle, he pays a bet-
ter price than do the local butchers, even considering qual-
ity, and the dressed beef men handle better cattle on an
average than do the local butchers. Farther, Armour sells
to consumers for much less than do the local butchers. The
local butchers sell to consumers now at the same prices they
got when they paid from two to three times as much per
pound for live cattle, except where dressed beef competition
forced them to lower their prices. Good butchers' cattle sell
in Quincy now for from two to two and one-quarter cents per
pound; one-third of what the batchers buy cost them less
than two cents per pound on the hoof. Yet steaks cost ten
to twelve and one-half cents per pound. Isn't that a hand-
some margin? It is so big that batchers are making money,
although the wide margin has attracted to the business twice
as many men as are needed Every town now has butchers
galore. And if the dressed beef men have combined to fix
prices, so have local butchers; there is the same evidence in
the one case that there is in the other. The dressed beef men
make prices in the big markets and the butchers in the local
markets. The farmer is helpless. He cannot raise a butch-
er's bid. He must take what is offered at home and he must
take what is offered at Chicago. The butchers are jast as
hard on the farmer as is Armour, and they are much harder
on the consumer. Armonr haB brought good beef within the
every day reach of maoy that could rarely afford it when
they were compelled to buy of local butchers. Thus he has
increased the consumption of beef, which is at least an indi-
rect good. People that have become accustomed to meat
every day will continue to use it though the price has ad-
vanced somewhat. Armonr has effected a permanent in-
crease in meat consumption.

I believe that supply and demand is yet stronger than aDy
combination or understanding among dressed beef men or
batchers; and therefore I believe that better prices for beef
cattle are ahead of us. The low prices that have prevailed
during past years have discouraged cattle rearing and have
latterly rushed cattle to market. At present we are not fully
stocked with growing cattle. Two years from now a scarcity
of ripe cattle will be apparent and prices will be better. The
man that starts with young things now will come out all
right. Low prices have increased beef consumption and, as
already stated, this will be largely permanent. People will
have beef and good prices will accompany a shorter supply.
The man that is fattening good cattle will make a
good profit. Where good stockers were bought in the fall
for two cents per pound, they are being fed on twenty cent
corn. Three cents per pound on the farm when they are
ripe will make a profit and they will bring more than that.

It is important, as affecting the snpply of cattle on the
market and the disposition to sell, to understand correctly
the figures given out from Chicago and Kansas City. Those
figures are correct, but comparing the receipts at Chicago or
Kansas City now with the receipts of ten years ago gives an
erroneous idea of the growth of the cattle supply, for this
season. On account of the development of the dressed and
canned meat industry, a considerably larger proportion of
cattle are now put on the large markets. A less per cent, are
slaughtered on the farms and in villages. The cattle supply
haB not grown near so fast as the receipts at Chicago and Illi-
nois.— Indiana Farmer.

Abandoning Beef.

The discouragements connected with the production of
beef cattle in the last few years have been great — unparal-
leled, in fact, in the history of the country; and in conse
quence a very considerable percentage of farmers have turned
away altogether from the basiness of cattle feeding to some
other specialty which seemed for the time to promise better.
This change is most natural under the circumstances, and is
only history repeating itself. But there is a tendency to car-
ry the matter beyond reason, aud it strikes us that just here
is room for a word of caution.

If the general industry of farmiog is to be carried on with
good average results to the bulk of those engaged in it there
must be a wide diversification of labor and products. The
fact that each may grow what he pleaseB is the source of in-
finite variation in the relative qualities of the various food
staples produced; and while it iB one thing one season it may
be entirely another thing another season which suffers in
value from overproduction. In some things overprodnction
can be corrected in a single year, and in others — as in cattle
— years are required for restoring a wholesome tone to the
trade. In other words, a widespread abandonment of beef-
growing does not at once show itself in a positive improve-
ment in prices.

The original trouble with the cattle industry some years
ago was overproduction. This has for some time been
gradually correcting itself, until we believe that it is no longer
the great diffiulty in the wav of good cattle times. As an
obstacle to improvement it has been so far eliminated that,
in good to choice cattle at least, it is getting to be a problem
as to where the markets are after a while to get their supplies.
So decided are the proofs of the correctness of this position
that we believe that if the dressed beef industry were not in
the way good beef cattle would command today prices which
would thoroughly satisfy producers. The signs of the times
are that ihe power of beef monopoly to oppose and thus
stand in the way of farm prosperity will one of these davs in
someway be curtailed. But whether efforts to fiompass this
end are successful or not, there is reason to believe that tbe
time is coming when, in spite of this hindrance, the market
will assert itself again.

To the man who will sit down and carefully "size up" the
situation it must appear that there is more danger of over-

production in some other things in the early future than in
beef cattle. Take dairying, for instance. There is no lack
of evidence that this may one of these days be overdone; not
that more fine butter may be made than there is a market
for, but that the average maker of decently good butter will
find himself after a while in an overstocked market. We do
not expect to ever see dairying bo depressed as beef-making
has been— for a good beef market afiords an easy remedy;
but we cannot believe with so many of the enthusiastic dairy
writprs of the day, that dairying will be periennially so much
better than the other side of the cattle industry, or that it
cannot be badly overdone.

In view of the signs of the times, we feel like remonstrating
with those who act as though there were no future for the
beef breeds of cattle. The craze for abandoning beef has
well nigh driven tbe possibility of anything better to oome
out of the minds of many people. Tnose who would keep
their business well in hand for taking advantage of probable
developmonts should not fail to keep the beef idea in view
in shaping up their farm Btock. We must be largely beef
producers if we are a nation of successful farmers; and both
branches of the cattle industry will nourish best when nei-
ther is abandoned for the other. — Stockman and Farmer.

Cattle Trading in Ireland.

An aged Irish cattle dealer was at death's door, and sur-
rounded by his family, was slowly and surely departing.
Suddenly with a holy calm in his eyeB, he said, "Boys listen
to me; I've nothing much to lave yez, but" — and here his
sons drew closer round his bed — "there's wan bit of advice
I'd like yez to keep in moind." "Go on father dear," Baid
one. The old man with a struggle seemed to gather his re-
maining strength, and with a gleam of light borrowed from
other days, touching to behold, gasped out, "boys this that
I've to tell will be useful to yez all the dayB of your loife.
Whisper " Closer and c'oserdrew tbe expectant sons, anxi-
ous to catch the faint tones of the dying man. "Boya when
you're at markets or fairs, buying or selling, never — drink —
whisky wid yer back to the tire." And conscious of a duty
nobly done, the old man departed in peace,"

Crossbred Buffaloes.

Twenty-two years ago there was a buffalo half breed cow
elaughteied in New York City, and tbe editor of an agricul-
tural journal was invited to dinner to test some of tbe beef.
He pronounced it tender and juicy, and averred that it pos-
fesBed a slight but agreeable wild taste, and was saperior to
the bsef of domestic animals. And now a breeder out West
is engaged largely in producing a herd of crosses between
buffalo built and Black Polled cows. Three-year-old cross-
bred steers weigh 2,500 to 3.000 pounds, and the cows 1,200
to 1,500. The steers make excellent oxen. They are strong,
hardy and quick in their movements. The cows give less'
milk, but richer than domestic cowa. The croesbreds are
dooile. It is believed that a crossbred bull mated with a
Jersey cow will give to the progeny greater size and hardi-
ness and equal milking Qualities for butter when ricbneBB of
milk is considered. 1 he hair of the crossbred is glossy and
silky, and a good-sized hide will sell for $50. It makes two
large "buffalo robes." The crossbreds retain the character-
istic of the buffalo in assembling together and facing storms
instead of separately seeking the lee side of fences and build-
ings, aa domestic animals do. A neighbor is negotiating for
a bull buffalo for breeding purposes. While these animals
are nearly extinct in America, "Buffalo Jones" possessing
nearly all that remain, there are many thousands of them
in Australia. ^ Galen Wilson,

Dehorning.

We devote this week a considerable portion of our space
to a report of the interesting trial at Haddington, in which a
cattle dealer named George Wilson was chareed with cruelty
to certain bullocks caused by dehorning them. Notwith-
standing the mass of evidence — prof essional and otherwise —
led by the Procurator Fiscal, the learned Bheriff had no diffi-
culty in arriving at a decision completely exonerating the
defendant. We, as butchers, are deeply interested in cases
of this kind, and our influence should be exerted in every
possible way to induce breeders, feeders and dealers to prac-
tice dishorning in every case. The anomoly which makes the
practice illegal only in England was the result of persistent
prosecution by the Royal Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals, and this Haddington case no doubt had
its origin from the same qaarter. The splendid work done
by this Royal Society is freely admitted, but there are many
who, like ourselves, consider the action of the Society in this
particular matter as neither more nor less than meddlesome
persecution.— London Meat Trades Journal.

Around El Paso.

George B. Loving, of El Paso, writing to the Fort Worth
Journal, Bays:

There is but little doing in the cattle business through
this section. Kansas feeders are picking up quite a number
of three and four-year-old steers through soothern New Mex-
ico and Arizona, for which they are paying S15 to ©17 per
head. These cattle go to Kansas to assist in eating the over-
supply of corn, aud later on to help glut the market. Speak-
ing of Kansas reminds me of a conversation I overheard a
few weeks ago in a restaurant in Hutchinson, Kansas. A
farmer came in and asked the price of a dinner; and when
told that he could have a good square meal for 20 cents,
replied that he was very hungry, but thought he had better
fast until he could reach home, a^ he did not feel disposed to
give two bushels of corn for one meal.

As stated in a former letter, some 30,000 to 40.000 cattle
will be driven from that part of Texas lying between El Paso
and the Pecos river. These cattle are now being gathered,
and most all of them will be on the trail by tbe 15th of March.
Quite a number of theBe cattle were intended for the Chero-
kee strip, bat will now be ruled out of that section by the
recent proclamation of the President. Suppose, however,
that they will be able to find grazing grounds in the Chicka-
saw, Choctaw and other nations of the big Indian Territory.

C. B. Zeek, a well known cattle buyer through this section,
who is connected with the well known live stock commission
house of the James H. Campbell company, with headquarters
at Kansas City, was in El Pbbo yesterday, and purchased of
the International Investment agency 500 Arizona feeders,
three and four years old, for which he paid $15 per head.

Care of Brood-Sow3.

Those who are to have early litters of spring pigs must
give the brood sows proper treatment during tbe winter
months. The first requisite is good shelter and a clean,
wholesome sleeping place. The next is a reasonable amount
of liberty. It will not do to keep a brood sow shut up con-
tinuously in a Bmall pen, even if it is kept reasonably clean.
She will become sluggish and inert, with none of the vigor
and muscular stamina needed to produce and rear healthy
pigs. A certain amount of exercise every day is necessary.
If she will not take her daily "conatitutional" of her own
accord, it is best to drive her out. Nothing ia better during
mild open weather than the run of a lot where she may root
to her heart's content. Never put a ring in the nose of a
brood sow.

The food Bhould be abundant, but not of a fattening char-
acter. Milk, bran and middling, with a small modicum of
oil-meal, varied frequently by boiled turnips, carrots, beets
or other Toots, clover-bay chopped short and mixed with the
cooked ration, and in cold weather a small proportion of
corn meal will keep the animal in good thritty condition.
It is well to remember that awine are omniverons, and an oc-
casional morsel of animal food is always acceptable. The
'lights,' entrails and other waHte material of a slaughter house
when aUaioahle are desirable additions to the animal's die-
tary. It is well to ke*p a mixture of salt, charcoal, and a
little snlphor in a trough where the sow can help herself
ad libitum. It is always beBt to keep brood sows separate
from the rest of the herd. Tnia is specially imperative as
the time for farrowing approaches. — Colman's Rural World.

The Light Brahma is jnstly termed the grandest fowl on
earth. In diepoBition, quiet, loving and lovable; in carriage,
majestic, dignified, the very king of all Aeiflstic breeds, be
runs, for general utility, about an even race with America's
national fowl the Plymouth Rock. Thoroughbred he is, if
properly fed and cared for entirely free from the hackneyed
objections urged against mongrel Asiatic stock; he is not lazy
nor gluttouish, and doe3 not run around for months in sum-
mer time without any clothes on. He thrives equally well in
confined quarters or with free range, and in confinement he
distances all competitors in the return given for his keeping.
His fleBh is toothsome as the ideal spring chicken at an early
stage of his growth from the broiler size up until he is a year
old, and a spring chicken that will weigh "ten pounds is by
no means to be sniffed at about Thanksgivfng time.

The breed as we know it to-day is an American production,
evolved from the old long-legged Shanghai, by eliminating
its undesirable qualities and engrafting certain foreign fea-
tures npon it. The poultry literature of the past twenty
years contains more relating to this grand bird than to any
other. Its economio qualities are of the highest order — wit-
ness the production of eggs at the most profitable Beason and
the fine quantity and quality of its flesh. As a fancier's fowl
it fills the bill; its particolored plumage furnishing an incen-
tive to the most careful breeding, and the noble bearing of
the best birds a sufficient reward for all the efforts required
to secure it. Few who have bred the Light Brahma ever care
to give it up entirely, its loving disposition endearing it to
the true fanciers no less than the courage of the game fowl
fascinates its admirers.

Now that the breed has a special association pledged to its
advancement, which started with a generous support and is
rapidly growing in membership, we may expect it to still fur-
ther widen the circle of its influence in fancierdom. — Col-
man's Rural World.

Duck Raising: in China.

Duck and goose-farming are great industries in South
China. I saw duck boats at Canton upon some of which
lived as many as two thousand birds. These birds were of
all ages and sizes, from half to full grown, and I consider
them one of the most wonderful things in the land of Celes-
tials. Tbe owners of the boats were big-hatted Chinamen in
blue gowns and wide blue pantaloons, which flapped against
their bare legs as they moved about watching thtir flocks.
These duck herders row or scnll the boats along the low
banks of the rivers and creeks, and stop from time to time
to let the ducks crawl out upon the marshy lands, where
they are expected to get their living by digging in the mud
with their bills for worms and snails. It is "root duck or
die," and the duck roots to sach an extent that he fattens
very quickly and grows very fast. These feeders have such
a control that the ducks will come back on the boat the mo-
ment they are called. They come with a rush, too, and I
noted that the bird laBt on board always got a sharp slap from
the bamboo rod of the herder. When the ducks are fat they
are sold to the salting establishments or are peddled out to
the market men.

The herder in the first instance gets his birds, wbeD half
grown, from the duck farmers, who buy them from the duck
hatching establishments, a peculiar institution of China.
These incubators hatch thousands of eggs at a time, and,
rode as they are, they are managed so carefully by expsri-
enced hands that very few birds are lost. The eggs are
placed in baskets filled with heated chaff, and are for the
u'rst twenty-four hours hung over charcoal fires in a close
room kept at such a temperature that the egg will be jast fo
warm, and no warmer. The experience of the 6emi-naked
employees rather than the thermometer regulates tbe height
of the temperature, and I am not able to give the degiee
Fahrenheit at which the rooms are heated. At the end ut
this time the eggs ate carried in cloths to another room of a
different temperature, acd in order that they may be equally
heated they are put in rattan baskets lined with coarse
brown paper, and moved about from day to day. Tbe eggs
are in tbe upper part of the basket during the dav, and are put
in the lower part at night, and they are thus moved abont for
two weeks. At the end of this time they are takeu to a third
room and laid npon shelves, wrapped up in thick paper or
warm cotton. This room is also heated aud the temperature
is so well regulated throughout that the eggs hatch out at Ihe
same time. Daring almost the same hour a thousand little
bills pick their way through a thousand white shells aud the
little duoklings voice forth their first weak quack. The duck
farmers of the vicinity know when each big hatching is to
take place and are on hand to buy the fluffy little creature?.
They carry them to their farms, which are located on thw
rivers or creeks, and they have as many roles for trenliu:'
tbem ss our stock breeders have for their Jersey cows jicd
their blooded horses. They first let them have rice water in
drink, and after this change them to a diet of boiled ric* .
They next give them bran mixed with chuff, and after a time
allow them to go to tbe creek and forage for themselves.
They are as oarefnl of them daring their babyhood as an
American mother ia of her child, and for five days after they
are born they try to keep them away from all noise whatso-
ever. They pen them in a coop, the bottom of which is
covered with grass, until they are two weeks old, and are very
particular to *ee that they are provided with clear sprint;
water to drink during the first two weeks.— F. Carpenter, in
American Agriculturist.

to express the highest appreciation. Among the ™ilina
sportsmen were O. II. Ondy of Tnrlock; F (Joykendall G.
Anderson and J. Delmas of San Jose: J. Kelly and D. Mc-
Avoy of San Francisco. The famous shots of the home team
were Dresent and found it necessary to do their best work.
There 'was a large attendance of spectators, and the sport
was enjoyed by everybody.

The first match was at sis single live birds, Hntlmebam

California Winer Shooting: Club.

The days of San Bruno as a resort for trap shooters seem
to have been numbered. The ground daring the summer is
undoubtedly the most suitable in the State and one of the
bes* in the country because of the generally prevailing high
winds which blow from the score to the traps and cause many
twisting tailers which try the mettle of the most expert shots.
But the ground is comparatively inaccessible, can be reached
by but tffo trains daily, and people must wait until the late
afternoon before being able to rrturn. The attendance of
spectators: has fallen away until only very few visit the place.
Io place of San Brnno. however, a new ground has been fit-
ted up that more nearly meets the needs of local experts
than any place hitherto at command. The Oakland Trotting
Park is reached by S-in Franciscans via the Berkeley train to
Shell Mound S:atiOD, from whence a walk of three hundred
yards brings one to the shooting ground.

Visitors from a distance can leave their trains at 16th street
Station, Oakland, and then take the Berkeley train back to
Shell Mound Station. The place is reached by half-hourly
trains between 6 and 10 o'clock a. m. From 10 to three
the trains ran hourly. Between three and 8 half-hourly.

The proprietor is Mr. W. H. Hincbman, a very pleasant
and popular young gentleman, whose whole energies ere be-
ing given to the caie of the trotting park. He has erected a
convenient shooting house, gun racks, seating, etc., and is
ready at any time to entertain those who care to do a little
trap shooting.

That jolly and accommodating old time purveyor of live
birds, Mr. Murphy, m the Center Market, has contracted to
furnish the birds, which is sufficient guarantee that they will
be lively ones.

Blue Hock targets will be supplied by Messrs. Clabrough
and Golcher, together with the lstest devices in the way of
traps and appurtenances.

The park is level, nicely swarded, pretty as a picture, con-
venient, well suited for shootiDg.

A nicely conducted club house is at hand for luncheons
and the like, and the movement is one that will conduce to
the development of the shooting interest in a high degree
Last Sunday was one of the typical California spriDg days,
clear, warm and delightful, and it was only fatting that the
new ground should be opened formally by the oldest clnb in
the State, the California Wing Shooting Club.

The birds were fairly good and the Bcores creditable.
American Shootiog Association Rules have been adopted by
the California as well as all other clurs of any prominence,
and in operation were pronounced very good. Messrs- Orr,
Eldy, Cadman and Gnmchen shot by invitatioD. Mr. Crit-
tenden Robinson had the only clean score, and that he made
with all his old-time sureness and brilliancy.

Messrs. Orr, H. C. Golcher, Thompson, Schroder and Fay
Bcored eleven each, all of them losing birds dead out of bounds.
Dr. Knowles lost a bird in the same way, and Mi. C. M. Os-
bom had the unusual bad luck to see both of the birds which
he failed to score just wabble out of bounds and die. Will
De Vaull was clear oil', scorit g only 7, an absurd'y low rec-
ord for him.

The club will meet at Oakland Trotting Park on the third
Sunday in each month, beginning to shoot at 10 a. m. The
first event of yesterday was the club match at 12 pigeons,
American Shooting Associalion rules, for the regular club
prizes, and the scores were:

Captain Brewer called at the Herald office the day following
his match with Mr. Clarke. He freely acknowledged that he
had received far better treatment and bad more courtesies
extended to him by the Melbourne Gun Clob than he ever
had in any portion of Europe. Speaking of the match he
paid. 'T found Mr Clarke a gentleman who only wished
fair p'ay, and I am satisfied were any advantage offered him,
he and his father, in fact all his friends, would have shunned
the offer, however advantageous it might have been. I have
travelled all over Europe and can candidly state that Mr.
Clarke is the best shot that I have thus far'met. Of course
I believe we could produce say two better ones in America,
Messrs. Crittenden, Robinson and Mitchell; but they make a
livelihood out of the game; consequently they should be su-
perior to a gentleman like Mr Clarke, who merely handles
a gun for pure love of the sport, and devotes no great amount
of time to practice. He has the makings of a wonderful shot,
and when I hang up my imolement and go on the retired Hat
you may then remark that Mr. Clarke will be sale in dipput-
ing the World's Championship and taking all comers. When
I came here I hardly expected to meet a man who could kill
over80bird3 in 100, and when Mr. Clarke disposed of 82
within the boundary line, and under Melbourne rules, too.
I became convinced that I had met a real good man. I
should like to hear of him going into a match against the
best shots of Enrope. You may rest assured all I possessed
would go on the Australian as a winner. I foand tbe mem-
bers of the Gun Club here, as well as Sydney, to be thorough
gentlemen, and on my retm-n I'll not hesitate to inform all
the Americans that Australia is the beet country — outside
the States, of course — for fair play and hospitality.

[Captain Brewer is in error in presuming that Mr. Critten-
den Robinson makes a living out of the game of trap shoot-
ing. It is true that Mr. Robinson is ready to match him-
self against anyone for almost any amount, but in fact he
only rarely able to get a match, and is engaged in business
in San Francisco, being Secretary of the State Mining Bn
reau. — Ed.]

Captain Brewer in Australia.

Considerable interest was shown by knights of the trigger
in the match between Captain Brewer of the United States,
and Mr. Clarke, one of the crack Bbots of the Melbourne Gun
Club, on January 22nd, on the ground of the Melbourne
Club at North Brighton, sayB the Melbourne Sportsman.
The attendance was large, and the match passed off in the
most pleasant manner. The American at first desired that
the contest should be carried out under London Gnn Club
Rules, but agreed to the shooting being under the Mel-
bourne Gun Club role-. The difference in the rules of these
bodies is this: The shootist under Melbourne rule«, after
sighliog, is not allowed to keep the gun at bis Bhoulder. He
must at once remove it, and wait until the bird rises before
he elevates the weapon. The London rules allow that tbe
gun can be kept at the shoulder. Captain Brewer was not
altogether comfortable as regards tbiB, but he shot neverthe-
less with wonderful accuracy, and upheld his reputation.
His opponent performed well too. The match was for $1000
a side, 100 birds each 30 ya#ds rise. Mr Holske stood
umpire for Captain Brewer, and Mr. W. Sayer, the well
known Melbourne pigeon shot, for Mr. Clarke. Mr. P. Glen-
ister was appointed referee. The American bad a trial at
halt a dozen birds before the match, and at 1:45 o'clock the
contest was commenced. Captain Brewer's first bird got
away, although it had been hit. He essayed the task of
gathering it, but the pigeon eluded him. Thus the opening
sbot was a miss. The nest was beautifully grassed, but the
third got away.

Mr. Clark started much better by killing his first brace.
However, he missed the succeeding two. Matters were
pushed on speedily, and when half the number of birds al-
lowed each competitor had been «et free, Captain Brewer's
record was 42, aud Mr. Clarke's 37. Trnly, this wa6 very
fair shooting, but a great improvement was to come, and af-
ter shooting tbree more Captain Brewer killed 35 in succes-
sion, and out of .K6 be only missed once. Mr. Clarke missed
5 outof 55 The outoome of the matoh was a win for C«nt.
Brewer with PI to hit credit. Mr. Clarke killtd 82. The

He Surprised Them.

Clarence JarviB. Ione's champion quail shot, who is at pre-
sent residing in San Francisco, gave some of the crack shots
of the City a leson in fine shootiog last Sunday. Clarence at-
tended a pigeon shooting match of one of the sportsmens clubs
of the City and although he had never tried bis hand at trap
shooting before, he took part in the contest. He "paralyzed
them all." for he Btarted in by making a clean score of ten at
single birds and then followed up with a clean score at dou-
bles winnings the first prize of the matoh. It's a picnic for
Clarence to shoot pigeons as they go from a trap, but if he
had some of those city sportsmen up here hunting quail in
the brush he'd make them think they couldn't shoot a little
bit. "Tramp" Clarence's great quail dog, also took io the
shoot and won much applause by bringing in every bird shot
by his master, while refusing to get any shot by others no
matter how near they fell to him. — lone Valley Echo.

[The sbootiDg of "Clarence Jarvis" whose name is unfami-
liar, is not half so surprising as his wonderful nerve in ''fak-
ing" his admirable home paper.— Ed.]

A Match Off.

It has been rumored that Mr. Martinez Chick of Sau DL
ego desired to shoot a matoh with Mr. Crittenden Robinson
at 100 birds for $500 a side, but the following letter places j
the matter in another light. We hope another match between I
the two cracks may soon be brought about. Mr. Chick write*
to Mr. Robinson on March 10th as follows:

Dear Mr. Robinson:— Your letter came to hand, finding i
me not in the best of health, and my wife down with La 1
Grippe. Well, I am anxious to burn some more powder I
with yon, but at present you will have to wait a while longer I
as I am not prepared for business reasons to meet you for I
the amount, as in our previous matches, and when I am
ready you will receive a formal challenge from your compel- I
itor. Hoping when we do come together tbat I may givt 1
you a three bird harder race, and hoping it may be soon.

The tournament at Traver on April 7th and 8th is attract,
ing much attention and will be generally attended.

Wildfowl are plenty about Tulare Lake now, probably on
their northward flight. Sportsmen cau reach the lake either
from Tulare or ViBalia.

The Alameda County Sportsmen's Club shoots this after-
noon at Oakland Trotting Park. The park is reached by the
Berkeley train to Shell Mound. On Saturday afternoon next
the Gun Club will use the same grouud.

L. L. Gaffney informs us that the town of DownievilleU
at present inhabited by quite a number of deer that w
captured during the storms the past two months. They walk
around town and are as tame'as cattle, some of them going
up to children on the street to eat food and delicacies given
them. One baod of fourteen were found near the banks of the;
river, above town. They were all bunched in the snow (and
left over night, The next day those who found them picked
out what they wanted and tonk them to town, where in a few
days tbey became perfectly tame. Some are kept tied in sta-
bles and some wander around town at will, returning to tbe
barn when they have had their exercise. The town dogs <?c
not disturb them when tbey are ont.

Jadge Sloane's court room in San Diego was comfortably
611ed with local nimrods one night last week, called thither
for the purpose of organizing a gun club. Mr Tel Grather
was chosen as temporary chairman and D. H. Johnson tem-
porary secretary. The matter of indiscriminate slaughter of
game was thoroughly discussed, aud it was the sense of the
meeting that positive steps should be taken at once to pui a
stop to the unlawful practice. Reference was made to the
act passed at the sitting of the last legislature wherein $2,000
was appropriated, not only for the importation of will tur-
keys, Bob White quail, pheasants, prairie chickeDs and other
wild birds, but for the lawful protection of the same. The
act makes it a misdemeanor for any one to kill certain birds,
so imported, until after the last day of the year 1895. It is
the object of the sportsmen of San Diego city and county to
form a club for the propagation and protection of game in
Southern California, and at the same time to provide all
lovers of the dog and gun with a vehicle of pleasure and
sociability. The initiation fee was placed at $1, and the
yearly dues at §1.

Perversions.

We regret to note that the Evening Post^of this city has
been led into taking a wroDg position with reference to the
relations existing between the State Board of Fish Commie"
sioners and that body of sportsmen known as the State Pro-
tective Association. With the association as a body, noDe
bat the most friendly relations exist. At a regular meeting of
the association, a representative of the Fish Commission
asked the clab to suggest names of suitable persons to receive
appointments as Deputy Fish Commissioners, andsome'aix or
more such names were taken and the men appointed.

We are informed by a leader and director in the State Pro-
tective Association, that the position taken by the Post is
the result of misrepresentations made by a few members who
dislike the Fish Commission because of the very qualities
which commend the Board to all fair-minded. law-abiding
and reputable sportsmen. The Fish Commission was com-
pelled to withdraw the appointments as deputies of several
members of the Protective Association, because they persist-
ently violated the law and used their power as Deputy Fish
Commissioners to shield themselves in doing so. These men
have since desired the Protective Association to champion
their cause, and have endeavored to arouse a feeling of
enmity against the Fish Commission, but have only suc-
ceeded in securing the cooperation of a little handful of
men, not of particular moment, and men of whom it is said
that they have endeavored, and are now endeavoring, to give
a political cast to the Protective Association. The better
class of members, which includes a great majority, repudiates
those schemers, and intends to hold the Protective Associa-
tion to its legitimate aims, and to uphold the Fish Commis
sion in its efforts to do its duty.

The association is a large one, and includes many men of
wide reputation as sportsmen of the genuine sort. Such men
cannot afford to be manipulated for base ends by a few wire-
workers, and we hope they will stamp out the undesirable
element at once, and that the Evening Post will set itself
straight in the matter

All of the acts of the Fish Commission can be canvassed
by any gentleman of the press, and such canvass will, we are
persuaded, convince any one that the Commission is doing
grand work, honest work and effective work, and is fairly
entitled to unreserved support.

traps, and all of the leading gun manufacturers. The time is
at hand when legitimate fishermen most begin to select their
tackle and none should do so without consulting Clabrough,
Golcher & Co.

The Supervisors of El Dorado county have under consider-
ation an ordinance to project the h'shin the streams by pre-
venting them from getting into the irrigating and niiniog
ditches and destroyed in them. The proposed ordinance is
as follows; "The proprietors of all water ditches and tlames
drawing their supply from the waters of this county, shall
place and keep in good repair at the heads of their respective
ditcheB or flumes, through which the water from the stream
or lake entering the ditch or flame shall pass, strips of wood
or other material, the meshes between which shall not exceed
one inch in width, for the prevention of the passage of fish
from the stream or lake into the ditches or flumes. Any per-
son taking water from any stream or lake in this county in
violation of the provisions of this ordinance is guilty of a
misdemeanor."

"Another feature of Ash protection," says the Republic in,
"is to require ditch owners to leave at all times at least ten
inches of water in the stream at the head of the ditch, so that
fish caD exist and get up and down the stream. The Board
is also urged to adopt an ordinance for the protection of deer
by making it a misdemeanor to kill any of these animals for
the next two years. This measure is deemed necessary by
some of our citizens, as these animals have died by hundreds
in the mountains this winter on account of the unusually
heavy snowfall, and have also been destroyed in large num-
bers by those who hunt them for their hides."

The Waterloo Cud Win.

The thirJ day (Friday), on which the "Waterloo Cup was
decided, was the ino3t glorious of the whole meeting The
weather was delightful, and the Lydiate meadows had all
the appearance of a far-advanced spring. The company
was very lirge, and as there were only seventeen courses to
run off, enough hares were to be found in a short beat.

Q£ course the piece de resistance of the meeting wch when
Mr. J. Trevor's nomination. Downpour, and Colonel North's
Fullerton by Greentick— Bit o' Fashion came together e&\t
the London Stock-Keeper. So confident were the hackers of
the latter that they did not hesitate to lay sis to one on the
son of Greentick and Bit o' Fashion. Just as Wright, the
slipper, had bis dogs ready, the sun came out from behind
the clouds with a glare, and everyone was on the tiptoe of
excitement. Downpour was on the near side of the slips,
and Fullerton was conspicuous by his splendid long and
arched neck, and from the manner he stands in the slips.
Wright delivered them to a good hare, when the crack shot
away three or tour lengths the better of the bitch up to the
hare, and kept there, and of course won.

When the white flag went up the vast crowd burst into a
wild cheer while pigeons were tossed here, there and every-
where. Signals were flashed by means of flags from one point
to the other, and the winner wa3 known at Formby Post
Office in a couple of minutes after the course had been won,
and doubtless the news was known in London a minute or so
afterwards. All was over by 11:40 a. m. so that seventeen
courses had been run off' in less than one and a half hours.

When Fullerton was brought baok through the crowd by
his trainer Dent, both man and dog received quite an ovation,
for many old coursers are of the opinion that Colonel North's
highly-priced dog is quite on a par with the never-to-be-for-
gotten Master M'Grath. Fullerton shows such exceptional
speed, devil, and cleverness on his game that he is undoubt-
edly one of the best long-tails ever delivered to a bare. The
Nitrate King will now, we should say, be very par ial to Liver-
pool, for has he not won a brace of Waterloo Cups, ani the
Liverpool Cup with his horse Philomel!

A visit to the streams along the North Paoific Coast Rail-
way was made last Saturday by Chief of Patrol Callundan
and deputies. Many men with fishing tackle were found,
but not one of them did any actual fishing, some one having
given warning.

In another column will be found the advertisement of
Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher k Co., 630 and 632 Montgomery
street, San Francisco, announcing that they are wholesale
and retail dealers in the finest fishing tackle procurable in
any of the markets of the world and agents for the leading
tackle manufacturers of America and Europe. The firm has
been noted among anglers, from fish and game warden
Allen, of Bangor, Maine, to those in the South Sea Islands,
'•r the invariable superiority of the goods handled; the finest
things in gut, flies snelled or eyed and lines, while its speo-
ities in reels and split bamboo rods have given it a com-

Pacific Ocean-, March 4, 1890.

Steamer City of Sidney, nearing Panama, I

Editor Beeeder and Sportsman: — After leaving you on
Saturday Feb. 15tb, we had very rough weather until Monday.
I was the only passenger out of about 30, but what was sea
sick. There were not half a dozen that appeared at their
meals on Sunday, and they disappeared in rive minutes I
had a lonesome day of it. Oo Monday the sea settled down
and we have had tine weather Bince. We stopped at seven
ports in Mexico, Guatemala and San Salvador, remaining
about a day at each. Another gentleman and myself fished
at each, but caught nothing but c*t6sh 5 to 12 inches long,
and no good. They are like the fresh water fish, but lighter
in color. We saw large numbers of red snappers (a fine fish)
of five pounds and upwards, swimmirg near the surface,
picking up scraps from the ship. Several at a time would
rise and tear up pieces of floating bread. We tried them with
the following baits, but could not get a bite. Raw and
cooked beef, salt pork, catfish belly, dough and cotton mixed,
bread, flies and spoons. Fished on the surface, and various
depths of water. It was aggravating to see the big fellows
skipping about. Perhaps you can suggest something that
may be of benefit to some of your readers that may take the
trip. There were some on board that took an interest in our
fishing, encouraging us with bites, even if some didn't hook
anything. For instance, I had a good one— soon another,
which was that of a twenty-pounder.

On looking over the side, I found my line within reach of
a dead light on the lower deck. The third time I caught
him, and on threatening to shoot, they let up for the day.
Another day we adjourned at 11 o'clock for a short time,
leaving our lines out tied to the rail. On our return we
found short pieces of plank attached for floats. At another
time, after a short absence, we couldn't pull our lines in. and
upon examination found that tbey had been pulled through
a hawser hole and made fast to a stanchion on lower deck.
It all helped to paBB away the time. I will finish on the
other side of the isthmus.

that I had a Bbeet over me.

The advertisement of the Los Angeles dog show aopears in
another column, and should be read by all fanciers.

Doctor A. C. Davenport, the cocker spaniel breeder o*
StocktoD, called at this office on Monday last, and dilated for
an hour upon the excellences of cockers generally and his
own superb animals in particular. He thinks of sending a
team of dogs to Los AngeleB in May if any others do so in
company.

♦

President H. T. Payne, of the Southern California Kennel
Club, which is to hold a dog show at Los Angeles on May
6th, 7th, 8th and 9th next, writes: "Our premiumlists will be
out by the first of next week, when I will send you some for
distribution. Tell Mr. P. D. Linville that Florine must be here
without fail. If he can't come down himself, I will take per-
sonal care of her myself. Should like to have him send the
pointer puppies also. Our committee has decided to return
the entrance fee to all winners of firsts that come from a dis-
tance of over 200 miles. The f^ehng here is good, and the
club-men are all enthusiastic. I think we will reach nearly
200 entries this time.

♦

Mr. E. J. Roy, at Room 87. S. P. Company's building,
Fourth and Townsend sts., City, is interesting himself in
behalf of those who may wish to attend the Los Angeles dog
6how. If fifteen persons go dosvo a very material reduction
in fair can be obtained, as well as reduced rates for any dogs
taken along. Mr. Roys kindness should be appreciated, and
if those who intend visiting the show will write to him they
will receive full information.

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Paoifi«
Keunel Club held on Wednesday evening last, a communi-
cation from the California Kennel Club was r^ad in which
notice of the discharge of the C. K. C. Conference Commit-
tee on consolidation was given. The communication was to
the effect that the C. K. C. could not meet the demand of the
P. K. C. that the former should assame half of the indebted-
ness of the last show, should accept the P. K. C. constitution
and name, and officers. A more absurd jumble of misun-
derstandings could not be imagined. At the meetings of the
Conference Committees, the P. K. C. 'Committee was ready
with membership list and full statements with reference to
the condition of the club.

The other club could not be induced to present a candid
stitement of its condition. It professed to have $80 in its
treasury which sum represented the accumulation of nearly
four years from dues, initiations aud all scources, with no
outlays. Its dues are twenty-five cents per month, or three
dollars per year, and a simple deduction will show that it
has but seven members in gooi standing.

The Pacific Kennel Club asked but one thing, which was that
the conjoined organization should retain the nsme Pacific, so
that the continuity of the record might not be disturbed.
All other matters the P. K. C. was wiiliDgto leave to the ac-
tion of the amalgamaed clubs, such as the election of officers,
formation of Constitution etc:

It is patent to any fair mind that San Francisco does not
presnt a field broad enough tojsustaiu two Kennel Clubs, and
since the Pacific Kennel Club is and always has been a mem-
ber of the American Kennel Club, in good standing, it is
hoped that the application of the California Kernel Club for
membership in the A. K. C. will be closely scrutinized and
not accepted without the consent of the P. K. C.

Mr. G. Howard Thompson has lost by death the famous
old cooker spaniel Sport, the first really fine dog of the breed
that was brought to California, Sport was a fine field dog,
of good size, typical points, and a prepotent sire. He was
imported by Mr. George S. Ladd, whose death a few months
ago removed one of the truest of sportsmen. Poor old Sport
was run down by an Ellis-street cable car on Thursday last.

Success in an enterprise is not always double-barreled,
and while the Continental Kennel Club's show in Denver last
December was eminently successful so far as the public were
concerned, there was still a deficit in the treasuiyof 5428 91,
At a meeting of the club on the 28th ult. lo consider ways
aud means, it was decided that each member hhonld I e as-
sessed for the sum of $20— this to be looked upon as a loaD,
to be repaid at such time as the club is in a position, finan-
cially, to reimburse them.

This is the statement:

Receipts, all sources

Deficit 428.91

I .',581 53
Expenses, all sources

I hear that the members are answering the call promptly,
and all liabilities are paid. Let us hope that next winter's
show will Det a large enough amount to not only pay nil ex-
penses, but at the same time reimburse these puWu-spiritei
gentlemen. — Doqwhip, in S ports Aji- Id.

U-rim's Gossip.

A full brother to Sunol 2:10* has been foaled at Palo Alto
during the past week.

The Bales of the Pleasanton Stock Farm in New York aver-
aged S2.0S4, 60 per head, not bad.

Ed.Lafferty, trainer for Mr. Kirkendall of Helena, Montana
has several of his horses at Pleasanton, wintering.

Lee Rose has returned fioin his trip East, and is now look-
ing after his trotters in the southern part of the State.

Theodore Winters tells me that he will start East about the
20th of May, and will continue with the stable during the
the balance of the season.

Quite a number of horsemen are goiDg to leave the city
Monday evening, to be on baud at the opening of ihe spring
racing meeting at Fresno.

Hernani, the property of J. H. White, has been farmed out
to Dr. J. R. Tilton, of Carlisle., Ky., who will stand him
during the season at that place.

The match race between the horses owned by Messrs. By-
ington and Healy of Santa Rosa, will probably take place
within a few days at Petaluma.

Every horseman and breeder who has tried the columns of
the Breedek and Sportsman aB an advertising medium will
tell you that it pays. Try it and see.

J. H. Neal, Secretary of the Pleasanton Stock Farm Co.,
sends word that four foals have been born at their PleaBanton
place and thai all of them are during well .

Antevolo 2:19* has been taken to his new home near De-
troit, and has been much admired by prominent horsemen
who visited Clairview Farm to see the new comer.

If there are any persons who wish to send horses East be-
tween the 1st and 15th of April, they can hear of an oppor-
tunity by addressing L. A. Davies, care of this office.

Those who have returned from the New York sales say
thatW.H. Wileon of Kentucky, made $4,000 by reselling
some of his purohases before leaving the American Institute
building.

A recent advice from Nashville tells me that El Rio Rey is
being galloped daily on tne track. Winchell pilots him, and
he is usually accompanied by Don Jose, ridden by trainer Joe
Courtney.

Some body asked Hr.AlfEslil which was the best thorough-
bred stallion in California. Without any hesitancy he re-
plied that Joe Hooker was tbe best stallion in California or
any other State.

"There is but one intelligent opinion throughout the coun-
try," says the Turf, Field and Farm, "and ihat is that No-
ble, owner of Alcryon, should never be allowed to start an-
other horse on a national track."

I wonder what truth there is in the rumor that W. H. Wil-
son of Cynthiana, Ky, has aBtrong notion of startiog a breed-
ing farm in California. If he should decide to come out and
settle we can guarantee him a hearty welcome.

Mr. Sal;Bbury haB publicly announced in the East that he
will send a string of trotters to the other side of the Rocky
Mountains during the latter part of the present season. This
will somewhat cripple the interest in our late meetings.

Harry J. Agnew of San Francisco, has purchased a brood
mars from John F. Henrichs of this oity. She is by
Mohawk Chief, dam by Gen. Taylor, and she has a filly foal
at her side by Director 2:17. The price given is not stated.

A trainer who has seen all the fastest and best colts that
has come to the Oakland track, and who has no interest in
tbe matter, declares that he thinks Mylitta, 2 years, by Mam-
brino Wilkes — is the beBt colt that he ever saw on the track.

As will be seen by glancing at the liBt of foals born lately
at Palo Alto, the great brood mare Beautiful Bells has pro-
duced a brown filly by Electioneer. With ordinary luck there
are tbr»e more of her get that Bhould enter the 2:30 list, dur-
ing 1890.

John Lawrence has taken a string of horses to Petaluma,
where they will receive their werk preparatory to the open-
ing of the circuit. It is more than likely that the Petaluma
track will be extensively patronized this year, owing to the
closing of the one at Santa Rosa.

Among the advertisements this week, will be fonnd one,
calling attention to the fact that a son of Albert W. is for
sale. He is reported to be fast aod should be a good road-

The Cook Stock Farm has Bold the Standard Stallion CreB-
co 4903, by Strathmore 408, dam Alia by Almont 33, 2nd
nam by Brignoli 77. Crtsco has been purchased by the Wi-
ley Bros, of Emporia, Kansas. Tbe horse has already been
shipped to his new home in the Eist.

Messrs. Stoddart & de Gormz are doing a "land office"
business with their stallions at the uew breeding farm near
Auburn. In addition to horses, the firm will also deal largely
in fine Hnlstbin cattle and Berkshire pigs, in which there is
plenty of money to those who understands the business.

Miller & Sibley, Prospect Hill Farm, Franklin, Pa., have
purchased from E. E. Coe of New York, for $7,500 the three
year old grey stallion Conductor by Electioneer, dam Sontag
Mohawk (dam by Sallie Benton, four year old record 2:17|,
Sport 2:22$, and Eros 2:29$) by Mohawk Chief; second dam
Nellie by Toronto Sontag.

Among the many promising yoang fillies which I have

Death haB again invaded the ranks of old-time, famous
trotting owners, and William H. Humphrey, ooce known as
the owner of Judge Fullerton 2:18, and other noted perfor-
mers, has passed from tbe busy scenes of life Some years
ago, when Dexter, 2:19:}, Judge Follerion, 2:18, Lady Thome
2:18}, and Lucy 2:18J, were the star performers, Mr. Hum-
phrey was a familiar figure at all prominent trotting meetings.

Hon. C. M. Thomas, has introduced the following in the
Kentucky House of Representatives: "An act to prevent
false timing at trotting contests in the Commonwealth; mak-
ing it unlawful for any party acting as official timer to an-
nounce a slower or faster time than that actually made, and
fixing a fine not to exceed $500 and imprisonment for six
months." Every State in the Union should have such a
law.

If you do not know Hugh Kirkendall of Montana, there is
a treat in store when you receive an introduction, for Hugh
is one of the most enthusiastic horsemen in the business. At
the Salisbury sale, he purchased a full brother to Direct,
2:18}, and at once offtred to wager Mr. F. C. Babcock §5,000
that he could beat the $24,100 Voodoo any time during the
Fall, but the banter only ended in words, as no match was
made.

Many complaints were htard laBt 3 ear about the colors
worn by drivers on the circuit, or rattier I should say a lack
of colors, as it was at times rather difficult to diotiugush one
horse from another, especially by those who only viait a fair
giound once a year. Directors of associations should make
it obligatory on drivers to send in their colors, and then have
the same entered on the programmes. It would increase the
Interest and lena an additional beauty to the scene.

Shippee is a lucky man," said many when he sold an
Electioneer colt for a very long price some time ago to Mr.
Campbell of Kan as, but Mr. Campbell was equally for-
tunate, asduriLg last summer ' Campbell's Electioneer" made
a mark of 2:22i. The colt was then driven by Thompson,
who will this season march down the line with Mr. Shippee 'a
string, while Dick Tilden, a well known reinsman from Ne-
braska, will handle the Campbell lot.

Valensm and Andy McDowell got into an argument about
the speed of Direct and it finally culminated in a wager being
made, the "White Knight" of the sulky putting up $100,
against $300, by Valensin that. Direct would trot this year
in 2:15i. It ib a pretty low mark Andy, but I sincerely hope <
you may win the money.

The mails bring information that Valensin'B lot of twenty,
sold for S'9 520, an average of $976, so that he has no reason
fur complaint. This average would have been greatly in-
creased had Sydney's three-year old daughter Fleet been in
such condition that she could be sold. But in some way
she calked herself on the train when en route, and an ugly-
looking cut on one coronet made her slightly lame and con-
siderably sore. The injury however, told against her, and
Mr Kellogg therefore allowed her to be withdrawn, aB he
could secure no bid of $S,000 or better for her, and he did
not desire that Mr. Valensin should fail to obtain a fair value
for bis property because of the accident.

During the week I received a pleasant visit from C. H.
Burton, who formerly worked for G. W, Woodard and C. H.
Hoppin of Yolo County. Mr. Burton is now the manager of
the new track which has lately been built at Tacoma, Wash-
ington Territory. Harry Morgan, of that lively burg, has
expended a lot of mooey in clearing away a site situated be-
tween the old and new towns, and already two lines of
street cars pass tbe front entrance It is intended that the
course and all its appointments shall surpass anything west
of the Rocky Mountains, as money will 'not be Bpared to
make it perfect in every particular. With tracks at Olympia,
Seattle, Port Townsend and also at Victoria, a good circuit 1
can be arranged, and if the purBes are liberal no doubt many J
of the California horsemen would go up to "take chances" II
with the light harness brigade that make their headquarters! ^
on the Sound.

We notice that C. J. Hamlin appears with a chip on his
shoulder and offers to match ChinitG against any other Bon
of Beautiful BellB. The Herald will go you one better. We
will match Compbell's Electioneer against Chimes or any of
the Beautiful Bells family. There is nothing small about us
and we are willing to go outside of the bsaunful family just
to accommodate the gentleman. Cmie and see us Mr. Haai-

George W. Blial is the name of the young man who showed
the Valensin stock at yesterday's sale of trotters saya the N
Y. Times. Nest week he will take to Italy the four-year-old
roan mare Wanita, 2:18, which is the property of Mr. Beck-
with of Evanston, Mon. The mare is to be pitted against
the best trotters in Italy, and her ultimate destination will
probably be the breeding farm of the Italian Government,
which already contains a number of American trotters.

The usual frequenters o. tiio Pal k roads were out in full

are well known as frequenters of the track were seen.

A note from Secretary McCollom, of the California State
Veterinary Association gives the information that the regular
quarterly meeting of the society will take place at the Bald-
win Hotel, on Wednesday, March 26th, at 7 o'clock p. m. It
is a very strange fact that so few practicing ' 'vets" have their
names enrolled as members of the State Association, because
most assuredly the public are ready to believe that those who
are not members, really belong to the "quack brigade."

Among the rules of a New York livery stable where the an-
imals of mauy wealthy men are kept, are the following: "No
man will be employed who drinks intoxicating liquors. No
man shall speak loud to any of the horses, or in the stable
where they are. Horses of good blood are nervouB, and loud
excited conversation is felt by every horse who hears it, Bnd
keep them all nervous and uneasy. No man shall use pro-
fane language in the hearing of horses."

A letter from Cynthiana, Ky , says that ''On the morning
of the 11th inst., Wilson & Handy's car reached Cynthiana,
Ky., laden with their purchases of last week at the New York
sale. The 10 head cost $13,190. They were as follows:
Harvester, b s, 8, by Sultan, dam Harvest Queen, 2:29$, by
Hanibletonian 10; 2d dam by American Star. Choice, b m

colt by Harvester. B g by Sultan.

Mr. W. W. Ayres sends me word that he has disposed of Bay
Rose 2:20£ to Dan McCarty for $10,000. Daring the week
many rumurs have been afloat about the buying of the stal-
lion, but not a single person who claimed to know anything
of the transaction put the price quite so high. It is also on
dit that Dan has sold a half interest in all his brood mares
and also a half interest in Bay Rose to Mr. L, A. Richards of
Grayson, Stanislaus County. The price received from the
latter has not transpired.

Charlie Andrews, of Milwaukee, formerly owner of the
stallion Elmo, from whom Orrin A, Hickok bought him,
Bends me the following, from the Semi-Weekly Star of Boon*
ville. Mo: "A mare owned by Frank Martin of Chotean
Springs recently gave birth to twins— a mare mule colt and a
horse colt. Stockmen Bay this is an unusual happening."
Well I should say it was an unusual happening. However.
Mr. Andrews does not vouch for the truth of the yarn, and
the reporter who furnished the item to the paper will have to
father the responsibility.

James Delaney of Salinas City has sold to 0. C. (lay of
San Francisco tbe grandly bred Btallion Herooian 3337, by
Belvidere {sou of Belmont 64), dam Hattie Sparks by Sweep-
stakes 298, 2nd dam by Young Washington (son of Burr's
Washington), 3rd dam by American Star 14. Berodian is a
grand individual, and will be placed at the head of a breed-
ing farm which Mr. Clay will shortly start near Livermore.
The gentleman already has a choice lot of broodmares whioh
will be added to from time to time as opportunity affords.

Last Monday morning Mr. Valensin returned from New
York extremely well pleased with his trip, and far from beingfj
the disgruntled person that the New York dailies would makt
him out to be. He says that there was only one animal thall
sold for less than she should have brought, and that wael
Lassie; but with all the others he is extremely well pleasedX
Out of the twenty which h- took with him. five were of ver\
poor breeding on the dam's side, and that lot of poor ones:
only aggregated $1,275. The balance were from good dams,!
and sold for an average of over $1,200 eaoh, a good, fail!
ptice. Mr. Valensin has sold Fieet, conditionally. As I hurt
already stated in another paragraph, the fleet daughter oil
Sidney hurt herself while on the cars, but Mr. Valensin itm
inclined to think that the injury is not a permanent one, S(|
Mr. J. H. Shults, the wealthy Brooklyn baker, will take hei!
if the swelling in her leg reduces in size, The price agreed otl
is $8,000, and the California^ fanciej the sale as good aiU
made.

In regard to the piopDsed match between Axtell and Suno:
Mr. Bonner says: "'± ..ere is no probability of its occurring
I met Mr. Ijams, one of the nve owners of Axtell, very re,
cently, and he told me that the stallion was on his farm a1
Terre Hautte, Ind., and would earn S4O.0O0 this year, so hi,
would hardly be in shape for a great test of speed. As re
gards Suuol, when I paid for her it was with tbeagreemeo,
and understanding that I should let her remain with Gov1
ernor Stanford until next October, to give him an opportunij
ty of lowering her record. He therefore has charge of he
racing record this year, and I have nothing to do with her|
He holds her at my risk, and if anything happened to her i
would be my loss. When I made the offer I told him
would take her just as she was for a certain sum that ha
never been named, but which was more than that paid fo
MaudS. — $40,000 — and the highest price ever paid for an;
mare in the world. I always keep myself posted about her
and she is at present doing finely on Governor Stanford'
farm in California."

Passing from one group to another and equally popnlafj
with each, sayB the N. Y. Spirit in speaking of the Rosej
meade Sale, was Col. Conley, of Chicago, the hero of tbj
syndicate which purchased the great Axlell for $105,001
In response to a direct inquiry by us with regard to Axtelj
trotting next Autumn he said: Three responsible association!
have notified us that they will give large purses for a raojj
between Sunol, 2:10-1, and A* tell. One association offera 1
purse of $15 000, while Dundee Park, N. J., and anothe^
well known association offer $10,000 each with free entraotx
If Axtell is fit and well and Senator Stanford will allow Sac
ul to compete we will accept these three offers and trot tlirt
races. The Senator controls her racing qualities until tbj
bill of sale calls for her being handed over to Mr. Robert Borl
ner, and as the great Califoruian will in all probability sen
a otable East, it is to be hoped that he will allow tbe yono
trotting queen to meet in friendly rivalry the stallion kin(,
This is very dfferent from tbe many versions which tt
daily papers have published, but as it comes from au anther,
tic source it looks more than proba' le that the great pair ma
meet. What will Senator Stanford say? is now the qnestioi
His well koown courtesy will probably induce him to consu
Mr. Bonner. It is to be hoped that the latter gentlemau wi
not use his influence to prevent three of the greatest cot
tests ever seen on the trotting turf.

CORRESPONDENCE.

An Agricultural District Matter.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — An article in the
Bbeeder and Sportsman of March S, relating to the ap-
pointment of Hon. 8. I Allen of Santa Rosa aa Director of
Agricnltnral District No 4, does muoh injustice to Mr. Allen,
and unjustly reflects upon Governor Waterman, who made
the appointment. The article is, evidently, not of editorial
parentage, as its tone, temper, style and dragooning of italics
manifest. The animus which inspired the article ia apparent
throughout, an^ it is to make it appear tnat the appointment
of Mr Allen should not have been made. To this purpose it
isiDtimated that the position was solicited by Mr. Allen
himself- that he designs to use it to promote his own politi-
cal interest, and that he has not reasorjable claim to the
pl*tce, except as a politician. In addition to these intima-
tions are imputations to the effect that Mr. Allen is inimical
to the interests of the Agricultural District to which he is
appointed Director. It is alleged that while a member of the
Legislature he endeavored to defeat the appropriation to the
Agricultoral District of which he is now Director — the Dis-
trict comprised of Sonoma and Marin Counties, which holds
annual Fairs in Petaluma, and that he did so in the interest
of the Sonoma County Agricultural Association, which held
annual County Fairs in Santa Rosa.

The allegation is unfounded and not true. Mr. Allen voted
for the appropriation to the District Association which has
■in charge the Fair at Petaluma. He made no effoit to cripple
that Fair.or to desert from it to the Santa Rosa Fair any por-
tion of the appropriation voted to the Petaluma District.
Another allegation is that Mr. Allen, about the time of his
appointment as director of the District, at a meeting of the
Sonoma Agricultural Park Association, in Santa Rosa, to con-
aider the proposition to sell the property of the association,
'made a motion that the selling be postponed to a further day
in order fo give the people opportunity to form an Agricul-
tural organization. Mr. Allen made no motion to snch effect,
his motion, aa he stated his design was to postpone the sale
to enable parties to obtain possession of the Association
grounds for turf purposes and to so maintain the track and
'ouilding and stables, to complete their arrangements.
■ The holding of annual fairs was not contemplated in the
'motion made by Mr. Allen, Santa Rosa had for years been
assigned a good place in the great racing circuit of the State,
ind Mr. Allen, with many others of Santa Rosa and Sonoma
jounty, deBired to have this place continued in the yearly
issignment of race meetings. His mo'ion suggested the cns-
omary and friendly connection with Petaluma, in the racing
tircuit. and not competition, to impose or detract from the
jiDDual Fairs of the District Association.

As to the effort to make it appear that the appointment
i>f Mr- Allen as Director was by himself sought and solicited,
md that hrs own political interests are to be advanced by the
,,flice, it will suffice to state that Mr. Allen did not seek and
lid not solicit the appointment.
• ' He waa recommended for the position to Governor Water-
nan, by leading representative citizens of Santa Rosa. He
Vi» not trail the Directorship in political channels. The
.nthor of the offending article protests again3t the admission
if politics into the Agricultural Board. He is himself the
;mly offender in that direction: Mr: Allen has no intention
o that design. He is President of the Santa Rosa Board of
Trade, a member of the State Grange, and also of the Agn-
oltnral and Horticultural Associations: Personally, in own-
rahip and business way, he is interested in farming, in yiti-
iltnre and fruit growing, and in the breeding of cattle and
i live stock generally He is respected as a private citizen
nd honored in public life: Santa Rosa has been his home
: ,or many years, and throughout the country he is esteemed
1 idt his integrity, probity and fidelity to every trust and obh-
. ation: Hie popularity needs no aids through public posi-
i ion. and he would scorn to pervert any such to the pro-
motion of partisan or personal ends. He will fulfill the
, uties of Direotor with ability, discretion and keen judgment.
1 'tovernor "Waterman has not made any mistake in the ap-
" ointment of Mr: Allen to the Agricultural Board, and is to
\ a commended for his action. The undeserved strictures
, f his unfriendly critics will not affect the good standing of
lr. AlleD with any who know him: M.

Santa Rosa, Maroh 11, 1S90.

[Our correspnndent mistakes the intent of the article re-
ared to, and has misinterpreted its language. We simply
: esired to call attention to the font that as Mr. De Turk was
' t ot in the state to qualify, Mr. Allen's appointment was
lade without consulting the other members of the Board as
i their wishes in the matter: No imputation was cast on
[r. Allen's integrity, nor was it even suggested that tbe gen-
eman used any influence to gain the honorable position. —
ditor Breeder and Sportsman.]

2:30 or better, provided he has either of the additional qualifications*
(1) A record himself of 2:35 or better. (2) Is the sire of two other
animals with a record of 2:36 or better, (i) Has a sire or dam that is
already a standard animal.

mare by a standard horse.

Eighth. — The female progeny of a standard horse when out of
mare whose dam is a standard mare.

sire or dam is a standard animal.

A peculiar illustration, says The LexiDgton Transcript, of
the reward Providence bestows npon breeders who treat their
customers in a liberal manner, is the following little story
which has the merit of being true in every detail: Some years
a=o, Mr. Luke Brodhead, the manager of Woodburn Farm,
sold a promising trotting colt to a Western gentleman for
S2,000. In tbe shipment of the youngster he rfas injured,
an'd for over thirteen months showed no signB of improve-
mf nt. His owner wrote this fact to Mr. Brodhead, and hav-
ing previously been a good buyer at Woodburn, the manager
enclosed him a check for $2,000. at the same tim<> requesting
him to ship the horse back to Woodburn. He arrived in do.
time in his general dilapidated condition, but atrangeto sbv,
he had not been on the place a week before showing signs of
improvement. In two months he was ready to enter train-
ing and so nicelv did he take to his work that last yeer he
got'amarkof 2:27. Being satisfied he had in him the mak-
ing of a grand horse Mr. Brodhead took him out of training,
it being his intention to give him a winter's rest and train
him again this year. Another breeder, however, happened to
inspect him a few days ago, and, after heating his strange
history, paid Mr. Brodhead S5.000 for the colt, which less
than a year ago, was considered worthless. Further than
saying the horse is located in Iowa, Mr. Brodhead is dumb as
to the animal's identity."

Catalogues are out for a combination sale to be held
at the Bay District Track on Thursday, April 3rd, at 11
o'clock a. m., under the direction of Killip & Co., live
stock auctioneers of this c»ty. The class of animals of-
fered are such that there should be plenty of competi-
tion, as the breeders of California are constantly on the
lookout to secure the best that money can buy. It is
rarely that a catalogue is issued which contains such re-
gally bred stock, the names of Guy Wilkes, Electioneer,
Alexander Button, Sidney, Mambrino Wilkes, George
M. Patchen Jr., and Art hurt on figuring prominently
throughout its pages. To show what a selection there
is, it may not be out of place to give a short synopsis of
what can be bought at the eale.

Flora W by Guy Wilkes 2:15£, dam Lyla A by Ar-
thurton, 2nd dam Flora Langford, dam of Lillian
Wilkes 2:17£, and Joe Arthurtou 2:20£.

Laurel B by Sable Wilkes 2:18, dam Lyla A by Ar-
thurtou.

Lyla A by Arthnrion (sire of Arab 2.15), dam Flora
Longford by Langford.

Mambrino Wilkes is just commencing to be appreci-
ated by the breeders, and his get should bring good
prices. Mr. Irvin Ayres of the San Miguel Stock Farm
has sent in several contributions, among which are:

Clara P 2:29£, by Mambrino Wilkes, dam Cora by Cor_
sican, 2nd dam by Jack Hawkins.

Istar, by Mambrino Wilkes, dam Narka by Nephew,
1220, 2nd dam Baby by Chieftain 721, 3rd dam Fanny
Hayes (dam of Gold Note 2:25) by Jack Hayes. Istar
is entered in the Occident Stake and second payment
made.

Veronica, by Mambrino Wilkes, dam by Winthrop
505, 2nd dam by Chieftain, 721, etc. This mare took
first premium as a two year old standard trotter at the
State Fair of 1886.
Nercha, by Bay Frank, dam by MambriDO Wilkes.
Maud, by Don Juan, dam by Young Niagara. Maud
has a colt at her side by Mambrino Wilkes.

Paska, by Alpheus 2:27, dam Sister to Doty 2:21, by
Challenge.

P. J. Williams is represented in the sale by a bay stal-
lion sired by Piedmont 2:17£, dam Queen by Garibaldi,
2nd dam Lady McClellan by Royal George. This young
stallion should bring a fair price, as he is bred right and
Bhould prove acceptable to many of the small farmers
who wish to purchase a good horse.

D. J. Murphy of San Jose sends in a number of richly
bred ones, the first on the list being Lady Carter, by-
California Nutwood, dam Newark Belle by Nutwood
600. This four year old mare is an inbred Nutwood
and should be eagerly sought after by those who fancy
"good goods." Mr. Murphy also has several of each by
Rea's Nutwood, Jack Patchen and others which are en-
titled to the consideration of prospective purchasers.

Mr. D. E. Fortin of Oakland has four head cata-
logued, three 61lies and a stallion colt, the latter by Ori-
ent, a son of Millimen's Bellfounder. Those of the op-
posite sex are by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr. and Anteros. One
of the mares is heavy in f«al to St. Nicholas, the pro-
duce being entered in the Breeder and Sportsman
Futurity Stake.

Capt. B. E. Harris has half a dozen good ones entered,
Harry Mac, Starlight and Sidena being the bright gems
in the collection. Harry Mac is by Alexander Butten,
dam Young Rosedale (the dam of Rosa Mac 2:20jj) by
Sawyer's Messenger. This is a very racy looking geld
ing and can earn more than his oats on the track.

Starlight made a name for herself last season as a
yearling, winning the colt stake at Napa in 3:12, she
having been handled but six weeks prior to the race.
Starlight is by Dawn, 2:1 8$. dam Lena Bowles by Vick's
Ethan Allen 2993, 2Dd dam Shafer by Sidney 4770, dam
Lena Bowles. This is a very promising filly and a per-
fect trotter.

Marvel, Hugo and Brentwood are all well bred and
should find ready purchasers.

Somo of the sires about which less is known than
those already mentioned are Geo. C. Gorbani, Norwood,
Leland Stanford and El in wood, all of which are repre-
the sale by their progeny, and we have no hes

The Late Saleb.

The fact has been proven beyond a doubt that Eastern
breeders will pay larger prices for California bred horses
than for those reared in any other section. The fiat has
gone forth, and there is not a scintilla of evidence lack-
ing to convince the world that the Golden State occupies
the premier position in the eyes of those who desire to
purchase the best trotting stock. Rosemeade, "Valensin
Stock Farm, Pleasanton Stock Farm and Rancho del
Paso have each sent on consignments, the prices ob-
tained being such that no one could grumble at them.
Following closely on the heels of the California produc-
tions, Mr. Chas. Backman of Stooy Ford, G. E. Rey-
nolds of Utica, N. Y., the estate of B. E. Bates of Water-
town, Ma3S., and a choice consignment from the great
breeding farms of William Rockefeller, were offered for
sale by Messrs. Kellogg A Co of New York, but taken
in general average, they sold for nowhere near the me-
dial brought by the stock from this State, and yet Mr.
Backman and Mr. Rockefeller are reputed to have as
gilt-edged matrons as there are in the country. Thi
climatic influences of California are such that the yonng
foals are much more forward in growth, are hardier
better able to stand the wear and tear oftrainirg, and
develop sooner than do those reared in the Eastern States,
The native grasses of California are better adapted for
young stock than any of those to be had in the East, and
as a consequence when offered for sale.our horses command
top prices. Breeding Farms are springiag up on every
hand, and the day is not far distant when buyers will be
just as anxious to come here to purchase, as breeders are
now to send their stock to New York.

The Golden Gate Association.

In the appropriate column will be found a new adver-
tisement from the officials of the Golden Gate Agricul.
tural District No. 1. They announce four new purses
which should receive the earnest consideration of every
horse owner in the State, as the purses offered are large
and the terms ot payment for entrance, extremely lib-
eral.

The first, or "New List" is a purse of $1,000, for
three-year-olds whose sires up to January 1, 1S90 have
not produced an animal with a record of 2:30 or better
the entrance fee is ten per cent, divided into four pay-
ments.

The second is a Guaranteed Purse of $1,200 for the
three-minute class, free-for-all, and an entrance fee of
ten per cent, which is also divided into four payments.

The third is a Guaranteed Purse of $1,200 for the 2-40
class, entrance ten per cent, also payable in four install-
ments. Entrances foi all the above close on May 1st
with the Secretary.

The fourth is called the Guaranteed Futurity Purse
for foals of 1890. and has been placed at the magnificent
figure of $4,000, and the Directors have seen fit to charge
only five per cent, entrance, payments to be paid in five
equal installments. This particular purse should receive
a very large number of nominations; the enormous en-1
try list secured for the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity]
Stakes being a guarantee that there are many now breed-
ing first-class horses who are willing to subscribe tD, and)
supoort such stakes as those just instituted by the Oakland!
Association. The payments for this purse are as follows
$40, August 1, 1890 at which time the entries close; $40
August 1, 1891; $40, January 1, 1892; $40, January 1,1
1893, and the last and final payment is $40, Auo-ust 1
1893; the race to be trotted at the regular meeting of thel
association in the fall of that year. The usual condition!]
can be seen in tha advertisement, and it goes without'
saying that each of the purses will receive unqualified:
indorsement by the horse breeders of this State.

Imported Game Birds.

sen ted

itancy in assuring our leaders that this is a Itonaftde

auction, and that Messrs. Killip & Co. will see that these

choicely bred animals are knocked down to the highest

bidders.

The Board of Fish Commissioners is actively engaj
in importing and distributing Chinese quails. Th«
birds are protected by statute, but unless the good wi
and high spirit of shooting men in the neighborhc
where the birds have been planted can be enlisted thJ
birds will soon be destroyed, and the generosity of thii
State set at naught. The birds are hardy, easily becoi
acclimated, are prolific, are excellent table birds, and ill
every way desirable. When the sportsman chances up!
on a bevy of the brown little beauties the temptatic
will be strong to try a shot or two, but if the tempt
tion be resisted for a few years there will be sport
every one, and beside that consideration, there will b
an increased self-respect in the sportsman, which alon
will be ample reward for the forbearance exeroiee
The localities in which the birds have been planted wil
be published, and it is the hope of the Fish Commissioi
thai both sportsmen and citizens generally will make i
a matter of pride to conserve the quails until 1895.

Catalogues.

It is now the correct thing for breeders to issue cata -
logues so that prospective purchasers may know what
can be bought at the various stock farms throughout the
country. During the past few weeks we have received
the following catalogues which are valuable to an office
such as this, in more senses than one.

The Highland Stock Farm, property of H. L. * P. D-
Stout, Dubuque, Iowa, principal stallion Nutwood 600.

Property of W. F. Kendrick, Denver, Colorado, princi-
pal stallion Kepublic 4898.

Edgewood Farm, Terre Haute, property of W. R. Mc-
Kcen, principal stallion Jersey Wilkes 2516.

Faustiana Stock Farm, Mary ville, Missouri, propei ty
of J. B. Prather, principal stallion Faustus. (Thorough-
bred.

Village Farm, East Aurora, Erie Co. N. Y., property
of C. J. Hamlin, principal stallion Chimes 5348.

Mambrino Park, Des Moines, Iowa, the property of D.
E. Mills, principal stallion Chestnut Wilkes 11410.

Chino Ranch, Chino, San Bernardino Co., property of
Richard Gird; principal stallion Woolsey 5337.

Indian Hill, Louisville, Ky., property of R. S. Veech;
principal stallion Princeps 532.

Kalamazoo Farm., Kalamazoo, Mich., the property of
S. A. Browne & Co.; principal stallion Anteeo 7868.

Woodside Farm, Rushville, Indiana, the property of
Campbell Bros.; principal stallion Haw Patch 1140.

Uihleiu Bros.' Stock Farm, Truesdell, Wisconsin, prop-
erty of Uihlein Bros ; principal stallion Alencon 9342.
/Probably the next catalogue of this farm will have Al-
cazar as premier.)

Parkville Farm, Parkville, Long Island, N. T., the
property of John H. Shults; principal stallion Pancoast
1439.

Prospect Hill Stock Farm, Franklin, Venango County
Pa. The property of Miller & Sibley; principal stallion
St. Bel 5336.

Last, though not least, the mammouth catalogue of
L. IT. Shippee of Stockton has also been received, which
is very complete in its way, and gives a good idpa
of what stock the millionaire banker has on his many
ranches. Hawthorne 10,935 is the leading stallion
among the trotters, while Fellowcharm by Longfellow
has the Dost of honor among the thoroughbreds.

The Future of Trap Shooting.

The recent visit of the shooting aggregation piloted by
»he President of the American Shooting Association,
Colonel C. W. Dimick, has exerted an influence upon
i the trap shooting interest of the State, which cannot as
yet be accurately measured. One most desirable effect
is already in operation, the adoption by all shooting
clubs of the Association rules. The rules are in a degree
faulty, as for instance, in allowing any position of the
I; gun, but when gentlemen compete everywhere under
the same rules a line as to the merit of trap work can he
obtained, which is unattainable in any other way. An-
other noticeable effect of Colonel Dimick's visit is the
general desire to become as finished in manipulation of
the gun as the more skillful men of the visiting teams.

Among local shots some might be mentioned whose
quickness and certainty Btamp them as peers in the
shooting House of Lords, but it cannot be denied that a
degree of laxity has been permitted at matches in Cali-
fornia hitherto, which has made the scores rather uncer-
tain guides to the actual excellence of the performances.

Fish Thieves.

"

A harsh sounding title, perhaps, but one justified not
only by sportsmanly ethics, but also by that more stern
interpreter, the common sense of the average citizen,
when applied to those who persist in appropriating
common property to their private uses, as is done by the
men who fish out of season.

The day has gone by long since in which it waB neces-
»ary to cite precedents at common law.to sustain the belief
that the fowls of the air, the wild beasts of the field, and
the fish of the waters were owned jointly by all citizens-
and were proper subjects for legislative consideration
and conservation. As long ago as the timeB of the earli-
est records, game and fish were protected. At first by
autocratic decrees, and later by statutes enacted by popu-
lar representative bodies. The invariable principle
being that at certain seasons, when males were erotic or
the females gravid, they were alike unfit for food and
for sport.

It is left for these latter days, that the sun shall rise
upon men willing to stand in the runways of deer blind
So all but the instinctive promptings of nature and
3hoot them down; or stand over riffies and kill fish
oblivious to any danger but one which seems to binder
completion of a necessary function.

Using words with moderation, the term "fish thief"
may fitly be applied to one who goes upon spawning

beds and kills salmon, salmon trout, trout, or any fish(
the killing of which is prohibited by law, either the
statutory or that higher unwritten law which should
guide all above the grade of brutes.

There were foaled at San Miguel Stock Farm on the 12th

by Mambrico Wilkes, 2nd dam bv Pill Bos. and bay colt by
Mambrino Wilkes, dam Annie Laurie by Echo, 2nd dam
Black Swan by Ten Broeak, thoroughbred son of Jack Haw-
kins.

Both Annie Laurie and Amy were entered in the Breeder
and Sportsman's Futnrity Stakes. The owner of these colls
says: That stake has been won so often already that it is now
too late for him to lay claim to it, but he ventures the predic-
tion that either colt will stay in the race till it is finished, even
if it Bhould be prolonged for ten heats.

Please give breeding of thoroughbred mare Qneen Bops, we
think by Hyder Ali; also breeding of Bess, owned by Davis
& Hall of Keysets, W. Va , and raced by them; also whether
they are good ones or not.

Answer.— Queen Bess by Hyder Ali, dam Interpose by
Intruder. She is a full sister to SpokaDe, so yon can judge
as to what her merits should be. Bess is by Fadladeen, dam
Betsy bv Curies; 2d dam Red Eyes by Red Eye; 3d dam by
Bailie Peyton; 4th dam by imp. Emaucipation; 5th dam by
Sir CharleB, etc. We do not know whether she is good or
not.

Can you give me the history of Sweet Briar, dam of Clo-

Answer— Sweet Briar, the dam of Clovis 4909 was a browo
mare 15 3 hands in height, and weighed about 1,050 pounds.
She had received a^out three months training prior to the
time she was bought from her former owner. Mr Kitteridge.
by Samuel Gambel, now Superintendent for W. S. Hobart of
this city. Mr. Kitteridge lived in Peekskill, New York; he told
Mr. Gamble that the mare had showed a mile in 2:47. but
that she had received an injury which disabled her for any
further development, and Mr. Gamble simply bought her bs
a broodmare and paid $400 for her, shipping her to a stable
in 42nd street, New York. Mr. Gamble traveled around con-

siderably and left her there, with instructions that she
should be exercised as necessity required. On his return
from one of hi? trips the well known Colonel Dickey who bad
driven the mare on the road, informed Mr. Gamble that
Sweet Briar was going to prove a trotter. "Sam" conld
hardly believe it after what had been told him by Kitteridge,
but was persuaded to go out and see her work on the follow-
ing day. Mr. Gamble drove her himself the first mile in
2:42 and a repeat in 2:31^. He then had her shipped along
with Imogene (dam of Guide 2:28J) and Priceless (dam of
Ernest Maltravers 2:22) to Chicago. On arriving in the
Western city some sis weeks afterwards, Mr. Gamble was
very much surprised to rind the mareB in a most horrible
condition. Imogene was so Btiff she appeared foundered,
and Sweet Briar seemed all used up from long standing in
the stable and high feeding, conpled with no exercise; how-
ever, the three wer« brought to thiB State and were very
poor looking mares to prove trotters, but they were all
turned info the matron list, the three proving themselves of
a high order. This is the history of Sweet Briar a3 given us-
by Mr Gamble.

VETERINARY.

Conducted by W. Henry Jones, M. R. C. V. S.
Subscribers to this paper can have advice through this column In
all cases of sick or injured horses or cattle by sending an explicit de-
scription of the case. Applicants will send their name and address
that they may be identified. Questions requiring auswers by mail
Bhould be accompanied by two dollars, and addressed to W, Henry
JoneB, M. R. C. V. 8., Olympic Stables, butter Street, San Francisco.

I.N. M.

I have a grey mare with a large, hard swelling on the oti
fore elbow. I have UBed warm fomentation, but without any
good result. Can you tell me the cause, and what to do
with it?

Answer. — The swelling arises from the horse lying on the
inside heel of the shoe. I wouid advise you to huve it
excised by a veterinary surgeon.

Mrs. G.

I have a skye terrier which was stolen from me some three
weelta ago. I got DOBseBsiou of him on Monday last. H«
has been dyed with a pink dye. Since recovery, he has Der-
vous twitohingB, whioh be did not have before. Could the
dye have produced these effects?

Answer.— It iB difficult to form an opinion of such a cise
without Boeing the animal. The twiichinga may arise from
many causes. Aniline dyes contain a percentage of poison,
and it is possible that the absorption of the same may bnve
produced the symptoms in your dog. I would advise you to
take him to a veterinary Burgeon at once, and get his advic
on the case.

ALMMT PATCHEN,

(9:15, trial S:I3 3-4).

JUANITO JR. is a beautifnl bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1886. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patcben
at the same age Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him is
that business c*Ils him away from this section of
the State.. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportiiclty for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

The pedigree of Juanilo Jr. is by Jnanito (sire of
Almont Patcben), dim Nettie Moore by Old Tom
Moore. For further nartlculirs, address

MEMO Is, as can be aeen at a glance, one of the best bred young stallions in service, having three
croBseBof Ryadyk'n ECambletonlan and one of Harry Clav, the sire of Green Mountain Maid (dam of Elec-
tioneer, etc.), while Long Isl «nd Black Hawk and Flaxtail also contribute to his blood. Sidney (Memo'B
sire) 1b universally known as the bcstyoiiDg sire in the world, a producer of extreme speed at an early age.

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted in public in hie two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was cloBe to
Grandee in a r,ice on the Bay District Track, the second heut of wlilcb was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first In 2:3^.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question that he would have shown in public very close to toe best reoord. On the
uakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters In from 32 1-2 to 31 seconds.

As a four-year-oid Memo only s'arted once -at Sacramento when, although out of eondltlon, ho showed
great speed, aud improving as he went on, greit hopes were entertained of his going well down In the 'teens
at the P. C, T. H. B. A. meeting, bur. after shovine several very fust miles his leg filled and he was laid up for
the season. He Is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His col >r Is a glossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition l« all that coula be desired, and his actlun superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mure being reported not In foal during his last seaBon.

TERM*. 3W0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number oF mares. Senson to cIobo JUNE 15th,
when he will be prepared for track purposes. 1 ast trago $5 per month. Have leased the cricket ground
adjoining the track for pasturage, where there Is floe feed. Reasonable chsrees if fed luy and grain. Best
of care taken of m*res In any manner owners may desire, but positively no responsibility assumed for acci-
dents or escapes. For further particulars address

Our Tennessee Letter.

Gallatin, Tenn., March 19th.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— It is only a little over
three weeks from to-day until the Memphis spring meeting
will have been inaugurated. The heavy winds of the laBt
few days came when most needed, and have served materially
in drying the tracks at Memphis and Nashville. The work
of training has been resumed and the trainers and horses are
at it in dead earnest. The horses at both Memphis and
Nashville are not as far advanced at this time as was ex-
pected, but th^y are coming around now in great shape. At
Memphis faster work has been reported than at Nashville,
bat with a continuance of this good weather the horses at
"Westside Park will be fit by the turn of the Spring meeting.
Last Sunday, at Memphis, Blarneystone Jr., a Kentucky
Derby aspirant, worked a mile very easily in 1:50. Cataline,
who is in Charley Doherty's string, was 6ent sis furlongs in
1:22, while the two-year-old filly Sweet Alice covered the
same distance in 1:26. Riley, Ed. Corrigan's Derby Candi-
date, was galloped a mile in 2;00. He bas not been given
any fast work as yet, but it is said that a mile and a half is
his distance. Blue Blazes, under the watchful eye of George
Muldoon, cantered seven furlongs in 1:43, and pulled up
with plenty of wind. Blue Blazes has the making of a race
horse in him, and if he does not play a prominent part in
the three-year-old racing drama of 1890, I am badly mis-
taken. Thomas Mackin, a good-looking two year-old colt
by Old Blazes, in Ruddy Brothers' Stable, is said to be
a corn-cracker. Be is trained by Jim Cartes, and as yet has
only been given moderate work. Little Minch, the hero of
many battles for turf supremacy, has covered a half mile in
:52, and not extended at that. He will be a sure winner at
Memphis and Nashville if nothing ails him. Captain Wide-
ner has two two-year-olds at Memphis that are said to be
about first-class, and they are being closely watched by the
toots and race track habitues.
No BenBational work has been done at Nashville unless it
• is being done between the setting and rising of the sun.
Sam Doxey by Casino, and who is the much talked of three-
year-old, has not improved much by his winter's rest. He
, has not been sent along very faBt yet, and will hardly start
at the Nashville meeting. The Wandering Jew, in the same
■ stable, i3 a coltish looking youngster, and can not be got
ready for the spring meetings. It is said that Buford,
three-year-old, by Boulevard, is "fit to kill," aDd his party
have great faith in his future success. El Rio Rey, and the
test of Mr, Winters' string have not been asked to do any fast
' work yet, but the whole stable seems to be iu the pink of
condition. El Rio Rey will be started at Nashville in the
Link's Hotel and Kinney Handicap. It was given out that
i be would not see tbe red bandanna fall at Nashville, but Mr.
Estell decided to have the big son of Marion stBrt. Rey del
Rey has been the cynosure of all eyes since his arrival, and
J when he starts Tenueeseeans will baok him to a man.

There will be something over 60 foals droppedat Fairview
Farm this season. About twenty have already been foaled,
and the rising of the mornings sun falls for the first time
npon a new arrival nearly every day. The youngsters
are by Imp. Pickwick, Forrester, LoDg Taw, Miser and
( Muscovy.

Our horsemen here have arranged to have some 2 year-old
trotting races about April 15. Some speculation on the
result has already begun. Billy Dawning, the veteran knight
of the Bulky, and of Lady Mack, 2 :19£, fame, has quite a
j string of good looking youngsters, and he will get a lion's
share of the parses.

Bow Bells, by Electioneer, is the most sought after stallion
In the State, and his limit of ten outside mares at $300, has
already been filled. With the high class mares that he will

embrace at his new Tennessee home he should become one
of the most famous of this great tribe of trotters.

Dr. Ed. N. Franklin of this city tells me he has decided
to sell his 2 year old filly by Bomont(son of Belmont) dam
Edgefield Girl, in one of the combination sales at Nashville
next month. She will probably bring a long price es her
dam is the dam of Annie W., record 2:20. la the fifth heat
of a winning race when dead lame, Billy Downing, who is
now handling her, tells me he thinks the young filly consid-
erably faster than Annie W. at the same age.

Mr. Jno. R. Head, of Brownsville, Tenn,, has sold to Grady
& Co., of Kentucky, the mare Annie W., 2:20, to Gen.
Thomas, for $5 030. Annie W. will be immediately put in
training, and she will doabtless lower her record of 2:20 tbe
coming season.

M&ry M. (dam of McEwen, 2:181, Annie W., 2:20, and An-
dante, 2:27^), foaled at Maj, Campbell BrowD's Ewell Farm
on the 13th inst., a brown colt, with star and white hind
ankles, by Almont Jr. This youngster is a fall brother to
Annie W., 2:20, and Andante, 2:27|.

Frank Jenkins, who has been in winter quarters at Pensa-
ola, Fla., with his string of trotters, has returned home.
Frank had rather indifferent luck last season, and the cam-
paign of 1S90 was unsuccessful. This season he will have
quite a large string of one and two-year-olds, mostly the get
of Wedgewood and Nathunter, and he may be expected to
get his share of the "pie" in the southern circuit.

An unusual large number of horse sales will be held in
Tennessee this season. The Tennessee Importing Company
will hold a combination sale of trotting and saddle horses
April 1st, 21, 3d. A. P. McKimmin's 13th annual ea'e will
take place at Nashville March 27th and 28th. Babcock and
Buford will hold their sale of trotting, road and saddle horses
at Columbia April 14th and 15th. The Belle Meade closing
out sale will be held the 24th and 25th of April, and Messrs.
Gillock, Lyle & Parmer will hold their sale April 26th, the
first day of the spring meeting at Nashville.

Wilson Abeel, trainer for Mr. Van L. Kirkman at Oak Hall,
near Nashville, came np to this city a few weeks ago, and
was mixiDg with his friends. He (ells me that he has seven
or eight horses in training, all of which give promise of
getting a good deal of first money the coming season. He
thiDks Bell Archer, two-year-old record 2:49], by McCardy's
Hambletonian, will be a good one in her class, and says she
will get a mark far below 2:30.

The programme of the Memphis meeting has jaet been
published. The meeting will last ten days, and bas five
races each day. Of the fifty races on tbe programme, seven
are at a half-mile, all of which are for two-year-olds; six are
at five forlongs, most of which are for two-year olds; five are
at six furlongs; five at Beven forlongs; eight atone mile;
seven at one and o-ne-sixteenth miles; six at a mile and an
eighth; two a mile and a fourth, and one two miles. There
will also be two three-quarter mile heat races. Of the fifty
races to ba run, twenty-five are a mile and over, and two of
the others are heat races- This is not a bad showing for
Memphis, and while that club does not belong to the Tnrf
Congress, it has, in but few instances, offered purses at a dis-
tance, not favored by the rules of the Congress. This is not a
bad showing for the Memphis management, and the pro-
gramme jast printed is approved of by every lover of long
distance and honest racing.

As the racing season of 1S90 draws near we hear much
about tbe coming three-year old champions, and the ques-
tion of "What about King Thomas?" is frequently asked. Al-
though he was a failure last season, his party think he will
be one of the stars of the new racing season that is soon to
be inaugurated. It is said that iu his work lately he has
shown great Bpeed and powers. In America, as a general
rule, the high priced yearlings have been a failure. After
Lake Blackburn proved himself to be such a groat three

year old, the Dwyers paid $7,500 for Joe Blackbarn, the
brother to Luke. Joe Blackburn developed a vicious temper
and was never a winner during the two years the Dwyers
owned him. He had speed, and the Dwyers retained him
until he was four years old, hoping he would run kindly,
but he never did. He is now drawing a buggy on Long
Island, after being sold for $150. Three years ago tbe
Dwyers paid Capt. Franklin $6,500 for Kern, out of Kath-
leen, the dam of George Kinney. Kern was afterwards
transferer! to the Haggin's stable, and has been almost
a complete failure, only winning once out of many starts,
and then in poor company. Year before last the Dwyers
paid $8,200 for Houston, the brother to Hanover, and he
has failed to get a winning bracket. Senator Hearst paid
$40,000 for King Thomas, and everyone knows what a great
disappointment he has been. Upon the other hand we could
mention hundreds that were sold for a mere song and after-
wards were performers of the firBt light. Luke Blaokbnru,
Aranza, Glidelia, Kennesaw, Diablo, Proctor Knott, Mad-
stone, Lord Murphy, Reclare and many others of that ilk
were lead away from the auctioneer's box for a mere Bong.

At the meeting of the Tennessee Pacing Horse Breeders'
Association at Nashville a few days since, the following rules
for registration of standard animalB were adopted: —

Rule 1.— Any stallion that has himself a pacing record of
2:30 or better, provided any of his get have either a pacing
or trotting record of 2:35 or better, or provided his sire or
dam is a registered animal.

Rule 2. — Any mare or gelding that has a paoing record of
2:30 or better.

Rule 3. — Any horse that is the sire of two animals with
pacing records of 2:30 or better.

pacing record of 2:30 or better, provided he has either of the
following additional qualifications: let — A pacing record

mala with pacing records of 2:35 or better. 3rd — Has a sire

which has produced a pacer with a record of 2:30 or belter,
provided he has either of the following additional qualifica-
tions: 1st— a pacing record of 2:30 or better. 2nd— la the sire
of one pacer with a record of 2:30 or better. 3rd— Has a bire
or dam that is already a standard animal. 4th— Has two pa.
cers with records of 2:35 or better.

Rule 11. Any horse that is tbe sire of one pacer and one
trotter, or of two trotters with records of 2:30 or better, pro-
vided he is of recognized pacing blood.

The rales regarding the registration of non-standard ani-
mals are as follows:

Rule 1. Any horse that has sired one pacer with a record
of 2:30 or better, or two pacers with records of 2:35 or baHfer.

Rule 2. Any animal that has a pacing record of E
better.

Rale 3. Any animal that is by a Bire or out of a dam of rec-
ognized pacing blood.

With the organization of the Tennessee Pacing
Horse Breeders' Association, a long and mucbvTieoded meas-
ure was inaugurated. Breeders of Ken'.,n *y, California ami
other States will most likely co-operate with the Teoness» e
Association, and in a few years the breeders of pacing bores a
may be able to ascertain, and establish the breeding of son
of our best pacing horses whose breeding ia now obsonre.

Fresno Races-

The Fresno Association has since its formation spared nei-
ther mooey nor time in improving its track, beautifying the
grounds and generally adding to the attractive appearance of
the course, wnich can now be said to be the equal ot any in
the State. A grand stand superior to even Sacramento and
Stockton provides for the comfort of the spectators, while
the track prooer has been re-clayed for the last two furlongs,
and is in first class order, being one of the few tracks in
the State on which any kind of work conld be done during
the exceptionally wet weather we have jost had. The ener-
getic manager. Air. Baldwin, noticing the gradual but sure
increase in the interest taken iu running this year decided to
hold a spring running meeting, and on my arrival od Tues-
day Ifonnd the town thronged with racing men, prominent
among whom were J. Woolman, tne wealthy Montanan, D.
Brown, the Petaluman, so well known to old time trotting
horsemen, Percy Williams of Grand Island, H. D. Miller, the
owner of Daisy D and other well known horses; Porter and
Sidney Ashe— by the way, the latter sports bis own colors,
black end white stripes, white cap; Kelly & Samuels of Mc-
Ginnis fame; N. S. Stranbe, the popular owner of Clovis
and other promising trotters; B. C. Holly, equally at home
among runners or trotters; Tim Lynch, looking lonely, for
Jou Jon was at San Jose; J. K. Res*, the owner of ihe Bpeedy
Kitty Van, Oro and others; F. W. Wickersham, D.Brown,
Jr., and amoog a host of other well known faces, laBt but not
least, Dan Dennison, with a horse or two_ threatened with a
great turn of speed.

The opening day had a small but sporting attendance and
gave great promise cf a good attendance later in the week.
The Judges were President Dr. LewiB Leach and Messrs:
Straube and W. Helm. Starter, W. Hughes.

Three races were on the programme for the opening day,
the first beiDg noteworthy for the appearance of R. P. Ashe's
Judge Teiry, the first of "Alta's get to face the starter, pecul-
iarly in-bred, too, by Alta, a son of Norfolk and out of Pet, a
Norfolk mare; he is a good looking bald faced chestnut colt,
with both hind legs white to the hocks, and won like a race
horse, though be bad nothing to beat, Corrigan's represen-
tative being out of a $25 mustang, while Tulare Chief, though
speedy, waB too small to be in the bunt.

The second race was an exceptionally good one. The bet-
ting public seemed to think it a gift for Louise M., but after
running well in front to the half-mile pole, she came back to
her field, and a tight finish ensued between the three placed
horses, Oro on bis favorite ground (he always seems to run
7 pounds better here) just winning by a short head from
Pliny, who ran like a race-horse, and with a stronger boy up,
would probably have won. The last mile was run in 1:44.

The repeat race was really a gift for Cyclone, though the
public pinned their faith on Gypsy Girl, who conld never
live with Cyclone, who won readily in straight heats.

There was very little betting, at $20 Judge Terry to $6 the
field, and after a short delay a start was effected, Judge Terry
being quickest on his legs, showed in front, but was taken
back, and Tulare Chief cut out the pace to the head of the
stretch, when Judge Terry closed up and won in a big gallop
by five lengths. Guilderoy was never in the hunt.

Louisa M. sold a big favorite at §20 to §6 for the field, and
$5 each for Pliny and Hotspur. A start waRTeadily effected,
and Louise M. taking the rails, led Hotspur a neck past the
stand, the rest close up, and increasing her lead, was four
open lengths to the good at the quarter, with Corono third,
cloBe np to Hotspur; Oro and Plioy showing in front of the
rear division. Up the backs! reth Louisa came back to her
field, and Hotspur, Pliny aod Oro were at her heels round
the turn, and the mare dying away, the trio ran a hard, pun-
ishirg race home, Oro winning by a head from Pliny, who
was a long neck in front of Hotspur; Louisa M. was three
lengths back, and then came Brady, Corona and Willoughby
laBt all the way.

The talent made Gypsy Girl favorite at $20 to $20 for the
other two. After sfiveral breakaways all three got well away
and kepf together to the drawgate, when, with HennesBy and
Moore riding hard, Cyclone showed in front, winning clev-
erly by a neck.

Very few pools were sold after the first heat at $20 for
Cyclone to $8 for the field.

The second heat was a repetition of the first except that
Cyclone won easier, while Springwater beat Gypsy after a
whipping finish by half a length for the place.

WENESDAY.

The second day opened out well, but owning probably to
the wind which was rather troublesome, very few ladies
graced the grand stand by their presence. The three races
were run thiongh in good style, Mr. Hughes, the starter, be-
ing very happy in his effort. In the first race, a five furlong
sprint, Kitt}' Van was made favorite, only to be displaced by
Jnbilee who went to the post first choice. First thoughts
would have been best, for Kitty Van won readily, though
Jubilee might probably have made a closer race, as he got
well away and mq head and bead with the mare to the turn,
when he was taken back and turned into the stretch last,
finished strongly, was only beaten by half a length.

The mile and repett was a gift for Daisy D who outclassed
her two opponents and won easily in straight heats. The last
race a half mile dash was a gift for Sunday, who won as he
pleased.

After a few breakaways the flag fell with Kitty Van and
Jubilee a length in front and both ran together to the turn,
when Jubilee dropped back last, Adam taking second place
two lengths behind the leader and one in front of Painkiller.
When fairly in the stretch Jubilee passed Painkiller and
went in pursuit of the leaders, and finishing stroDgly beat

pace, led Brady a length round the turn and past the half,
with Pilot five lengths back. Pilot closed up a little round
the turn, and passed Brady in the straight, uunting Daisy
home, the mare winning eaBily by a length. No pools could
be sold, and after a short delay, the flag fell. Brady jumped
off in front, and, with the mare bard held, led a length round
the first turn. Daisy closed np on the backstretcb, and took
the lead at the half, and Pil^t, making up a good deal of
ground, was level with Brady at the bead of the stretch, with
the favorite two open lengthB in front, running easy; Daisy

D. won by a length without being stretched, Brady beatiDg

A good deal of time was consumed getting the quartette
away, and when the flag dropped, Sunday and Clauderoy had
two lengths the beet of it and ran away from the other two,
Sunday winning as he pleased by an open length. Birnie who
started very slow cbased up rapidly in the stretch, finishing
close up to Abbott's oolt, who was five lengths behind the

Laws of Heredity.

Following are the six leading laws of heredity which w
reprint by request: —

1. That from the male parent is mainly derived the eiter-
nal structure, configuration and outward" characteristics, also
the locomotive system of development.

2. From the female parent is derived the internal struct-
ure, the vital organs, and, in a much greater proportion than
from the male, the constitution, temper and habits, in which
endurance and bottom are included.

3. That the purer the race of the parent, the more certain-
ty there is of its transmitting its qualities to the offspring; say
if two animals are mated, if one is of purer descent than the
other, be or she will exercise the influence in stamping the
character of the progeny, particularly if the greater purity
is on the side of the male.

4. That apart from certain disturbing influences or causes,
the male, if of pure race ani descended from a stock of uni-
form color, stamps the color of the offspring,

5. That the influence of the first male is not infrequently
protracted beyond the birth of the offspring of which he is
the parent and his mark is left upon subsequent progeny.

6. That the transmission of diseases of the vital organs ifl
more certain if on the side of the female, and diseases of the
joints if ou the side of the male parent.

Last week a correspondent who lives in OregoD, aaked for
the pedigree of Director Jr., and enclosed one which he
wiBhed to ascertain if it were correct. We answered tbat it
was, bnt incidentally mentioned that the name of the horse
had been changed to Corrector, and that he was now stand-
ing at the Pleasanton Stock Farm. On looking over the
Portland Kural Spirit, we find the following, advertised by
one John Pender of Salem, Oregon, who says the horse will
stand there this season:

Director Jr. is a black horse, 15 hands IJ inches high,
foaled 1SS6; bred by F. S. Malone, of San Francisco.

Pedigree: Sired by Direotor 2:17, dam Brainy by Echo:
2ad dam Lady Dudley by Tom Dudley: (for extended pedi-
gree see Bruce's American Stnd Book, Vol. l.p age 604.)

Director bv Dictator (sire of Jay-Eye See 2:10, Pballas,
2:13|, etc.,) dam Dolly (dam of Thorndale, 2:22*- Onward,
2:251; Cezarina 2:27£), by Mambrino Chief.

Echo (sire of the dams of Direct, 4 years, 2:1S£; PiDk, 2:25.
and twelve trottera and one pacer in the 2:30 list), is by
Rysdyk's Hambletonisn, dam Fanny Felter, hy Magnolia 68,
son of American Star, 14, sire of sis stallions that have eleven
trotters in the 2:30 list, and sire of thirty-five damB that pro-
duced forty three trotters and one pacer with records of 2:30
or better.

Director, sire of Director Jr. is also the sire of Direct, four-
year-old record 2:18^: Margaret S, three-year-old record 2:194,;
Guide, three-year-old record 2:28^. Margaret S. is claimed
by noted horsemen to be the greatest and ganieat three-year-
old ever produced, considering age, as she was not foaled un-
til August, 1SS6, as is also Direct one of the gamest colts that
ever faced the starter. Director also has the honor of being
the only stallion alive or dead that has sired two colts with
records better than 2;20, with his oldest colts but 4 years
old.

Now, if our readers will torn to the advertisement of the
Pleasanton Stock Farm in the present issue of the Breeed-
er an'd Sportsmax they will find the following: —

Corrector, fonr years old. Sire Direotor 2:17, dam Brainey,
she by Echo, Echo sired by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, out of
Magnolia, she by Seely's American 8t;ar. Braioey's dam
Lady Dodely, she by Tom Dudley by Blacknose, a son of
Medoc, he by American Eclipse. Lady Dudley's dam by
Bertrand Jr., a son of Bertrand.

Correotor is a rioh seal brown, 15} hands hiRh, and is the
fastest young stallion in the world under tbeBame conditions,
never baviDg been off the farm where raised, and never hav-
ing been shod or driven for speed before last Christmas, and
can trot quarters now in 35 seconds, a 2:20 gait.

He will be allowed to serve ten good mares, at $100 each
for the seasoD.

Now it would seem, after reading the two advertisements,
that Brainey had two foals that year.orlhat Mr. Pender orMr.
Salisbury is claiming a wrong peiigree for his horse. Those
who are acquainted with Mr. Salisbury know that he would
not misrepresent anything. Mr. Pender we do not know, so
cannot say whether he has been swindled in the pedigree
that be presents to the public or whether be is willfully try-
ing to impose on tbe owners of brood mares in Oregon. An
explanation is in order.

Parties having mares that are barren or irregular breeders
would do well to consult Dr. G. W. Stimpson, V. S. Office
and Hospital 19th Street, near San Pablo Avenue, Oakland,
Cal, Best of references.

rounding too again in great

Dan Honig has purchased the bay colt Ripley, 3 yrs. old by
Alarm, dam Lady's Maid by imp Leamington,

Mr. Peter3 has sent his Bpeedy mare Lulu B, by Langford,
to the Gueuoc Stud Farm to be brad to St, Saviour.

Game old Inspector B. has been leased to tlib Kittson
Bros , and will join Elfcwood in the urdenheim Btud,

Frank Elliott has purchased the browD gelding Pericles,
agsd by imp Strachino, dam Grecian Maid by imp Glenelg.

Bed and Blue, by Alarm out of Maggie B. B , dam of Iro-
quois, foaled a slashing chestnut colt by Hindoo at Runny-
mede.

Governor Waterman has appointed F. A. Antenreith, Sis-
kiyou, Agricultural Director lor District No. 10 and David
Alexander for District No. 12 (Lake).

Washington Park, Chicago, has selected Major Joseph J.
Burke of New York for presiding judge tlU season, the selec-
tion should prove a very happy one.

Messrs. Clay and WoDdf or d (Rutmymede) will after this sea-
son give np yearling sales and race their own colts on account
of the big stakes which are being hung up.

It is rumored that Mr. Pierre Lorillard will attempt to re-
purchase Iroquois (who carried his colors so nobly in Eog-
land) when the Belle Meade sale takes place.

A. Lakeland has sold to H. Harris the bay horse Troy, 6
yearB old by Lelap?, dam Reel Dance by War Dance, her
dam Blanche Roosseau by imp Mickey Free.

Dan Honig has purchase from T. B. Doswell the chestnut
filly Wild Cherry 4 yrs old by Wilful, dam Cerise by imp.
Moccasin, her dam Lizzie Lucas by imp Australian.

M. Daly has named the two four-year old fillies he
purchased from Mr. Withers. The Stonehenge — E cola filly
is called Rose and the Stonehenge— Maxim filly Rosa.

There is a vague rumor gradually growing stronger that
H. D. Mclntyre, the popular Secretary of the Brooklyn and
New Jersey Jockey Clabs will give up the turf for politics.

Imported Leopold by Doncaster, dam imp. Princess by
Kiog Tom has been bred to Accidenta (dam of Valparaiso,
Llera and Mt. Lebanon) by Messrs. Talbott Bros , Paris. Ky.
Prince Leopold was bought laat fall by Messrs. Talbott Bros.,
but he will not be trained this season as was intended, ow-
ing to tbe great demand for bis services as a stallion.

Old Norfolk (28) is as lively as can be and feeds well, but
is practically impotent. Marion is quite youthful in appear-
ence and iB a typical looking brood mare, the only thing be-
ing that there are few of so high a type. It seems almost a
shame and is anyhow a risky spec transplanting a lot of old-
ish mares from Sacramento's sunny plains to Nevada's chilly
hills and dales.

Mr. Boots who lately purchased imported Brntusfrom Palo
Alto will use him in the stud, but may possibly race him
this fall. Brutus foaled 1885, is by Macgregor who won
the Two Thousand Guineas in 1870, and went to
the post for the Derby with Fordham np at 9 to 4 on,
running unplaced to Kingcraft. Palmerston and Muster, his
dam imp. Teardrop is by Scottish Chief,

Matt Allen is getting still more anxious to match his Jap.
He tried Green Morris for a while, but Green was too wily to
be caught. Matt is now hunting MesBrs. Blackburn & Co,

W. Lovell, New York City, lost recently at Gntteuburg N.
J., from the result of an accident the chestnut filly Nanine 3
yrs old by imp. Kantaka, dam Nannie King by Ringmaster.

W. B. Jennings, Washington, D. C. has purchased the
chestnut mare My Own, 5 yrs old by Sensation, dam Queen's
Own by imp Australian, ber dam Qaeen Victoria by Lexing-
ton.

The San Simeon stable, with W. L. Donathan in charge,
have arrived at San Jose, and are said to be looking excep-
tionally well. They will race at San Jose, the Blood Horse,
aDd then go to Chicago.

The first of Edgemark's foals is oat of a mare by Smuggler
2:15J, granddam Madam Rowell, the dam of Monroe Chief
2:184;. Edgemark last year got a record of 2:16, and the colt
should have unlimited speed.

Oae of the most promising two year olds in Kentucky is
Mount Joy, by Pontiac out ot Accidenta.tne dam of Mt. Leb-
anon, etc. Will McDaniel, who trains the colt.'says he is
one of the best he ever handled.

The Australian race horse Chicago has arrived safely in
England. In his own country he was a fair performer, not
really first-class, and should render a good accouut cf himself
>n the mother country if well placed.

Ex-Senator James G. Fair baa purchased the Adams Ranch
— owned by John Adams — in the uppsreod of the Berryessa
Valley for $35,000. The mortgage wnich was recently fore-
closed on the ranch was for $2S 000.

J. C. Kankell, Harrisburg, Pa., has purchased from W.
H. Laughlin, Woodstock, Pa., a mare well known to Califor-
niaus, viz., Empress 2:24, foaled 1876 by Hambletonian 725,
dam Katy Tricks (dam of Tricks 2:20) by Colonel.

The Linden Park Association announces $50,000 in added
money for its first spring meeting, to begin at Linden, N. J.,
on April 22nd, and that the average will be 53,500 a day,
which indicates a fourteen or fifteen days meeting. If tour-
teen or fifteen clear days can be had from April 22nd the
meeting will probably pay. JameB R. English is announced
as President and Richard Stockton as Secretary and Treas-
urer.

Prince Charlie's successor at Elmendorff is said to have
got several flying two-year-olds, Heiress by Rotherhill out of
Finance by Leamington being said to be the best filly in the
Rancocas Stable, while Andrew Thompson has a slashing
colt out of Pauline Sprague. It is to be hoped for Mr. Swi-
gert'a sake that imported Rotherhill will breed on and rival
his great predecessor, Prince Charlie, the Prince of the T.
Y. C.

Harold was nine years old when he got Maud S., 2:0S£,
while Electioneer was seventeen when he sired Sunol, 2:10J.
Harry Wilkes the fastest of the Geo Wilkes breed was among
the first of his sires get aB was also Axtell, 2:12 among the
first of the get of William L. In the same line bruod mares
follow stallions, some dropping their best foals early in life,
while others only show np prominently when their days are
nearly over.

H. L. & F. D. Street of Highland Farm, Dubuque, Iowa,
have been offered and refnsed $10,000 for a weanling colt,
by Notwood, 2:18?, out of Sohoxso, 2:171- The offer was
made by a Pennsylvania gentleman, who wishes his name
kept secret. The colt is a beautiful solid bay. He is en-
tered in the yearling stakes in Iowa this season. He has
been named Ohso, and his ownerB think him the best year-
ling in the country.

The Duke of Westminster has now in his stable two year-
lings by Ormonde, the first one a chestnut colt out of Ange-
lica, and the other a bay colt, out of Shotover. Angelica is a
near relative to St. Simon, the great sire of Sigoorina and
Shotover is a daughter of Hermit, the well known Darby win-
ner of 1882. The last named is therefore sired by a Derby
winner, as well as being out of a dam that had also won the
great blue ribbon, a feature of breeding that never happened
in England before.

Unless a horse is known to be very quiet and unexcitable,
he should never be whipped on the hind quarters, as it often
tempts a horse to kick. Strike him on the shoulder or fore
leg, and if he does not answer to it immediately, strike him
harder. It will not hurt him so much as jerking his mouth
with tbe reins, and you had better do it yourself than be
obliged to sell him to some one that will drive him and whip
him without measure or mercy. There is as little real kind-
ness in spoiling a horse as there is in spoiling a child.

The Kentucky Derby at a rough estimate will be worth
$5000 to the winner the following will probably include all
the starters. Avondale, Bill Letcher, Corticelli, Eberlee, Ely
Good-bye, Grayson, Honduras, Mount Lebauon, Outlook,
Outright, Palisade.Phomix, Prince Fonso, Prodigal Son, Pro-
tection, Portlaw Riley, Robespierre, Rosemonnt, Santiago,
Sunnybrook and W, G. Morris.

After a good deal of dickering here and there the Santa
Rosa Agricultural Park Association have sold the race track
to Mr. Ira Pierce of this city for S17.500. Mr. Pierce who has a
number of good horwes himself hopes with the co-operation
of the Santa Rosa horsemen to make the track as popular i
any in the state, and judging from the admirable situation
it should prove a successful venture.

A telegram from Los Angeles says that John H. Shults,
the millionaire horse owner, is a gueBt at the Hollenback.
Mr. Shults came here two. years ago and purchased the cel-
ebrated pacer, Arrow, and the Brooklynite now owns prob-
ably the fastest team in the United States, having recently
purchased Gold Leaf. Arrow and Gold Leaf have records
faster than 2:14. Mr. Shnlts is a great admirer of Califor-
nia Btock, and it waB he who bid $24,000 for Voodoo. It is
not improbable that he will make some purchases while in
this part of the State. Next to Mr. Bonner, Mr. Shults has
the choicest collection of trotters in New York.

H. B. Dickinson. Ocean Point, Long Island, New York,
has imported from England the bay hor^e Helicon, foaled
1878. bred by Lord Durham, by Cardinal York (son of New-
minster and License by Gameboy), dam Artemis by Thor-
manby, Ler dam The Nymph by The Flying Datchman, 3d.
dim by the Cure, 4th dam Elpbine by Emilu.s, 5th dam Var-
iation by Bustard, &c. Helicon won three times out of rive
Btarts at two years old, did not win at three years old out of
Beven Btarts, won once at five years old of eight starts, won
three timeB oat of five starts at six years old, at seven yens
old started seven times and won four races, and at eight
years old won once out of rive starts.

"My cboice," says Samuel A. Browne in the Sportsman,
"is in tried producing dams, no matter how bred, and the
Kalamazoo Farm has adopted this as the only sure basis.
Pedigree with me is of little consequence if there is no per-
forming blood. This will ultimately be the only standard fGr
trotters. I would not give anything for a standard-bred pedi-
gree of five or six standard crosses, provided some of the dams
of the animal had not produced speed, and tbe more of them
that have, and the lower the records, conpled with cam-
paigning ability, the more valuable they are to the breeder.
Non-producing blood is only worth intrinsically what it will ,
bring for hack or work horse purposes, no matter how many ]
standard crosses it may have."

Prince SoltykofTs bay horse Tibthorpe, foaled 1864, by Vol-
tiguer, out of Little Agnes by Tbe Cure, her dam Miss igoes
by Birdcatcher, out of Agnes by Clarion, died at Newmarket,
Friday, February 21, 1S90, aged 26 years. Tibthorpe was
a speedy horse, and though a frequent performer only one
event of importance was won by him. That was the Stew-
ard's Cup at Goodwood. He 6ired several horses of fair
class, some of whom could stay well, though he himself was
deficient in stamina. Among tbem may be mentioned Al-
thorp (winner of the Great Metropolitan, Ascot Stakes, As-
cot Cup and Prix de Deauville), Lucetta (winner of the Cam-
bridgeshire Stakes), Tip and Kingthorpe.

"Having given the breeding problem many years of study,
all tbe time trying to "keep np with the procession," writes
Editor Dunton in the Spirit of the Turf, it is our logical
conclusion that the next move on this chess-board will be to
look dispassionately through all branches of our great trot-
ting and thoroughbred families for tbore horses which go
over the ground with the least possible waste motion; easiest
to themselves, ^ith the lightest shoe that it is possible for a
horse to W6ar, and with the greatest lung and will power.

The Scoggan stable has twenty one head of horseB in train-
ing, most of them heavily engaged. Robin Hood, who was
bought from W. M. Murry last year, has a leg, and as it is
very doubtful whether he will stand training, he has not been
heavily engaged for this season.

Homewood 3970, record 2:23A, foaled 18*7S by Hambleton-
ian Tranby 3969, dam Belle, has been Bold by Mr. McCor-
mick, Pittsburg, Pa., for So. 000 to the Sire Bros , who are
acting for the German Market. Homeward will be shipped
lo the Fatherland at the earliest opportunity.

Mr. L J. Rose has evidently decided to stay in the thor-
oughbred business, for immediately after his return from the
East he viBited Palo Alto, and last Saturday purcbased seven
yearling colts for $13 500 Amougthe lot which are, of course
only halter broken is a full brother to Flambeau,

Diok Havey has had the misfortune to los<» his well known
stailiou Bonanza 2:29i, who died last Satnrday from
inflammation of tbe long*. It is a severe loss for Mr. Havey.
as irrespective of his racing prospects, the horse had already
twenty mares booked to him, and maoy more applications.

Mr. J. B. Ferguson, who acted a* starter at the list meet-
,ing at Jerome Fark and who is now acting in a like capacity
says he has been engaged to act as starter at the meetings
to he held at Lexington, St. Louis, Louisville. St. Paul, and
at "oneEisleru track." He was by no means a success at
Jerome Park last season.

We are strongly in favor of early breeding says the Agri-
culturist. If the mare is bred at two and has a colt at three
years, Bhe may be longer maturing, but she will be no smaller
and will make a better broodmare. This is the experience
of the draft horse breeders of France to early establish regu-
lar breeding. The mares are given full work upon the farm,
and the most careful attention is given to breeding, to be
sure of a colt the next year as the leading feature of the an-
nual cash income.

"That one well bred mare is worth a field of scrubs was
never better illlustrated than at the Brasfield b sale," says the
Terra Haute Express. "The late Col. Wm. CassiusGoodloe's
stud, consisting of but three mares by Geo. Wilkes, and five
tdlies by such sires as Dictator, Mambrino Russell and Lord
Russell brought S27.S50 an average of S3.851. The people
all over the conntry are beiog educated to the fact that breed-
ing horses of an inferior class is not a profitable business.
Poor hordes are not in demand at any price. There is al-
ways a demand for tbe best."

Dan McC^rty, as I stated last week, took Mr. Ricbards in-
to partnership with him in Bay Rose and ten mares. Dan
put tbem on the cars to go to Grayson but Messrs. Allen
Mayhew and Ira Pierce bought the horse for $20,000aod took
him off tbe carB at 16th street, Oakland. Dan says Designer
will fill his plaee at Grayson.

The American Tart Congress mston tbe 13th and Judge
Perkins of the L^tonia Jockey Club was unanimously elected
President in the place of the late T. J. McGibben Esq:,
after highly eulogistic complimentary remarks which were
certainly deserved by the late President. Col. L. Clark was
elected vice-president, and B. G. Bruce secretary, without a
Bingle dissenting vote. It was tactily understood when tbe
meeting adjourned that another meeting would soon be held
to come to a definite conclusion with regard to the wire re-
ports to the various pool rooms.

A writer in a New York Bporting paper makes an interest-
ing oompirison of the various modes of locomotion with tbe
following results: A man can swim a mile in 2Gm. 52*., he
can walk it in 6m. 23s. he can cover it on snow shoes in 5m.
391. be can run the distance in 4m. 12Js ; he cm ride it on a
tricycle in 2m. 12 3 5s. Behind a trotting horse he gains
nearly four seconds by covering the distance in 2m. 8£s.;
while on a running horse he gallops the mile in lm. 39$.; and
Let and faBtest he sits in n railroad train and rlies over
mils of the steel rails in 50}s.

Ansel, George Rice and Fayette, who respectively trained
Artislides, Lord Murphy and Buchanan, winners of the Ken-
tucky Derby are dead. John McGinty, now Labold Bros.1
trainer, is the only man that has prepared two Kentucky
Derby winners. He sent Leonatus and Montrose to the post.
Of the other victors in this great race, Vagrant was train
by Dudley Allen, Baden-Baden by Brown Dick. Day Star
Lee Paul, Fonso by Tice Hutsell, Hindoo by James Rowe.A^
polio by Green Morris, Joe Cotton by Abe Perry, Ben Ali b;
JameB Murphy, Macbeth II by John S. Campbell, and Spok-
ade by J. Rodegap. With the exception of Lord Murphy
bred in Tennessee and Spokane, foaled in Montana, all the
winners of the Derby were Kentucky bred and born.

At Independence. la., last week, Fischer and Borroughs of \
Allison served a writ of replevin on C. W. Williams for the
Irecovery of Mambrino Boy, sire of the dams of Axtell and Al-
lerton. They were met with locked doors and a refusal to
deliver. About fourteen months ago the owners placed Mam-N
brino Boy in the hands of Williams for a term of five 3
with the agreement that be should not be sold for one year
and then for not less than $5000. Yesterday he was sofd to1 1
John Graham of Biggsville, 111., for $5500. Williams consid-
ers this a ruse to obtain possession and refused to deliver.
He has also a claim against the horsG which has not been set-
tled. A delivery bond was executed, and the case will be1
tried at the next term of court, in about two weeks.

With moderate care and good usage a horse's life may 1
prolonged to 25, 35 or 40 years. An Englishman had thr
horses which severally died in his possession at the age of I
37 and 39 years. The oldest was in a carriage the very day,
he died, strong and vigorous, but was carried off by "spas*
modic colic to which he was subject. A horse in use io a:
riding school at Woolwich lived to be 40 years old. A grayN
horse bred and raised in Lockport, N, Y\, a- d owned for 37 -|
years by a Mr. Brann of that city, will be 44 years old nextfl
May. He worked daily in a pottery mill to grind clay op lo
last year, and now kicks and frisks about in a box stall His-f
tory tells of a horse belonging to the Mersey & Irwell Navi-
gation Company, London, that was declared to have been 111
his 62nd vear when he died.

A horse can hardly be said to have passed his primary ed*a-l
cation until he has boen taugkt all tint is really necessary!
for an ordinary roadster to understand. He will have more
to do than most other riding horses in the way of passing!
and meeting vehicles, and other objects on the road, andl
great care and patience should be exercised to teach him to
do this pleasantly, without getting dangerously near them, 1
or shying too far away from them. He should be taught (oji
go a little faster when overtaking than when meeting an ob-
ject. A good bold rider may allow him to select a soft pat!
near the side of the road to save his feet, but when so in-
dulged there is always more risk of a sudden Bwerve to one
side, so that a less accomplished rider had better teaoh his,
nag to keep the best path he can find Dearer the middle of
the road. Cantering on hard mettled roads is an expensive
luxury, especially with a heavy weight, as few horses stand
it long without failing in the leading forefoot or leg, so that a
young mm who waots to save hi* borse from lameness had
better be content to walk or trot. As in every other riding
J horse, a good, fast, easy walk is a valuable accomplishment.

Secretary Keck has been at work quietly but very effective-
ly, and his efforts bave been attended with moat gratifying
results. Within the past month the New York Jockey Clnb
has received an accession of nearly 1,000 members to its rolls
made up of club men from New York, as well as from other
parts of the country. San Francisco, St. Louis, New Orleans
Chicago, Buffalo, Washington, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Phila-
delphia and Albany have now many representative club men
on the rolls of the club, and new applications for membership
are being received daily. With the clubhouse oompleted and
the attractions offered to both resident and non-resident
members, it is not at all strange that the club's growth is so
phenomenal. A social future as well as great racing future
is clearly open to the new track.

W. L. Donathan has twelve head of the Hearst stable at
1 San Jose. Owing to the incessant rains they have had little
, or no work on the ranch, but all look exceptionally well. Sev-
i eral of them are entered at San Jose and the Blood Horse, in-
i cludiog the well known four year old Almont, by Three
' Cheers, out of Question; Del Mar and Gertrude, both four
year olds imported from Australia, by Somnus; Baggage
3, Warwick — Maria F., is the hero of the sensational Chica-
go race in which Redlight and Protection wfre in front from
start to finish, but the judges made a mistake— afterwards
acknowledged — which gave Baggage the race; Sacramento
is a three year old by Joe Hooker out of Ada C ; Primero 2,
Powhattan^Speed, Anarchist 2, Joe Hooker — Chestnut
Belle, and Yosemite 2, Hyder Ali — Nellie Collier; the last
named shows exceptional promise.

The subscribers to the stock of the driving park and race
course, met this morning at Maze -V Abbott's office, says the
Modesto News, and perfected a preliminary organization.
The capital stock of the corporation is $30,000, of which
$17,600 is already subscribed . The following Board of Direc-
tors were chosen: L. A. Richards and R. M. Wilson, of the
West Side; J. J. Dolan of Turlock, and A. L. Cressey, J. W.
Davison, L. B. Walthall and Thomas Wallace of Modesto.
The name selected was the "Stanislaus County Agricultural
Society." L. B. Walthall, the Secretary pro tern, was in-
structed to secure the articles of incorporation of different
agricultural societies, after which a permanent organization
will be perfected. The society have already negotiated for
100 acres of land near the railroad traok, northwest of town.
The next meeting will be held in about a month.

Owing to the severe storms in the Northern section of this
state and Oregon, during the winter, many mares have died,
the latest returnes, coming from the Jacksonville (Oregon)
Times It says: A heavy loss was sustained by Jas. McDon-
ough of Willow Springs recently in the loss of three of his
fine Morgan race stock, including "Mary," one of his best an-
imuls and a'so another choice mare the dam of the promising
young trotter ''George Woodthrope" which surprised the trot-
ting fraternity here by trotting iu 2:3S at the district fair last
fall less than 4 months after being broken to harness It is
\ county calamity to lose such valuable stock in the prime of
ife. The cause of death in all three animals was the ulcera-
;ing distempter known as "the railroad disease," which has
caused so many animals to die in various part of the state dur-
ng the past year.

As intelligent a gentleman and good a critic as Mr. Robert

r Bonner was at Columbia, Tenn., last May, says Colman's

* floral World, and claimed that he oould invariably tell from

.he looks of a horse whether he was a pacer or trotter. This

itatement being challenged, he commenced to examine some

>f the horses there at the fair grounds. One of the first ones

ixhibited was the great pacer Duplex, record 2:17^. After

. jookinghim over and wisfly examining his conformation, he

i )ronounced him a pure gaited trotter. Duplex is not only a

latural pacer, but has not a drop of trotting blood in him,

■ .Dd unlike most pacers, is not inclined to trot.

The fallacy of the contention that the pacing gait is con-

« rolled by the conformation is illustrated over ana over again

: >y the fact that nearly all the fast pacers are also fast trot-

ers by the use of a little weight. Little Brown Jug 2:11£,

rhen three yearn old could trot faster than he could pace.

irown Hal, 2:121'has a well authenticated trial trotting rec-

rd of 2:21, and nearly always trots in a jog, while Boneset-

» ar. with a trotting record of 2:19, was a natural pacer, and

>ok many ^prizes in the saddle ring before he entered the

rotting arena.

i It is not often that a horse is ruled off after winning a race,

! ut this is what occurred at New Orleans last week, says the
'urf, Field and Farm, when the brown gelding Tom Karl,
is owner, S. O. Hildretb. and the jockey, Bunn, were ruled
ff after Tom Karl had finished in front of his field, but it
as not for winning this race but for losing one on the pro-
ceding Saturday, March 8th, that the punishment was in-

i icted. On that occasion the odds opened short againstKarl,

at Bteadily lengthened until a false price was quoted at the

ose of the betting. His jockey, Bunn, seemed not to try to

■i H the horse off at the start, and when the hag fell, Lady

1 lackbarn took the head and easily held it to the end. Bunn

. lade some show of whipping Karl, but it was a weak effort.

- n the Monday following the two met again in a race of the
ime distance. Tom Karl had a little les3 weight up than on
Uurday, but not enough to have made any material differ-
lce. Before the race Hildreth went to the po3t Tom Karl
aB at 1 to 4, and Lidy Blackburn at 2 to 1. This time Bunn
as alert at the post, and getting away well placed be soon
id the lead, whichjhis horse held to the. end, winning the
ot in a big gallop under a strong pull. This was a little
o much for the judges, and as Hildreth's explanation failed

I satisfy them, all were ruled off.

A friend to the standard, looking to_a higher rank for the
Jtter, based on merit, suggests the following, and invites
e views of breeders from all parts of the country to ascer-
in whether higher standard is desirable. The proposed
iw rules are intended to cover the whole gronnd, but not
troactive. It is not intended to upset, or make any animal
m-staodard that is now recorded, but to cover the ground
t the future. Some change appears necessary to get rid of
aeds and establish merit. The following are the proposed
les, to which we invite attention, and would be pleased to
ar the concised views of breeders upon them, and to have
y suggestions looking to improvement:

1. Any stallion or mare that has a record of 2:20 or better,
that has produced a yearling with a record of 2:40 or

tter, or a two or three year-old with a record of 2:30 or
Iter, or four-year-old with a record of 2:25 or better, or has
oduce of any age, with a record of 2:20 or better.

2. The produce of any stallion or mare becoming standard
ider these rules, together with any animal making the fore-
ing reoord, shall be entitled to standard rank and entiled
registry^Wefltern Sportsman,

John Mackey returned from the East last Saturday bring-
ing him ten head of horses, seven of which went to Mr. Salis-
bury's farm at Pleasanton while the other three stayed ou
the Rancho Del Paso. The most notable of Mr. Mackey's
purchases was Roxaline, own sister, a year younger, to Ma-
rian dam of the Emperor of Norfolk El Rio Roy, etc. She is
thedainofFredB Princes=,Brait and other well known horses.

Spirit of the Times: — Decidedly one of the swell campaign-
ers of the day was Rosa Wilkes 2:lSj, and as a graudindivid-
ual daughter of one of the incomparable George Wilkes her
value as a broodmare can hardly be estimated. The Hon. F.
G. Babcock, owner of theBabcock Stock Farm, Horneilsville,
N Y., her owner, conceived the idea that he would like to
send the fair Rosa to the embraces of the gBlIant Axtell 2:12.
but unfortunately his book was full. In this dilemma the
good offices of the editor of The Spirit was invoked, and, in
answer to a letter from the office. Mr. William P. Ijims pent
the following gracious reply: "Terra Haute, Iod., Feb. 26—
Your favor or the 24th mst. at band. Contents carefully
noted. I have written to the Hon. F. G. Babcock, offering
him a place for Mb mare instead of one of my own if it would
be any accommodation to him. Yon know Axtell is young
and we must keep him within the limits. I booked six of
my own mares and will allow him oneof these places. Thank-
ing you for the interest you have taken in the matter, I am
very Bincerely, etc., W. P. Ijams." The little incident is a
very pleasant one. It is an instance of the chivalrous cour-
tesy which exists among our leading breeders although per-
sonally staangers to each other, and it is another instance of
the universal popularity of the young stallion king.

We learn sayB the Kern County Californian that work has
been commenced on the ninety-acre track, north of the rail-
road, which Mr. Haggio has determined to use for a race
track and for Agricultural Fair grounds and the necessary
sheds, stables, etc. The principal entrance to the erounds
will be reached by way of Chester avenue, upon which a re-
sponsible company have a franchise for a street railway. The
situation is probably as well adapted for the purpose as auy
that could be found. It is near to town, on the prolongation
of one of the widest and best streets and convenient for vis-
itors and stock that may come by the railroad. The nature
of the soil is such that dust will not be troublesome, and is
of fine texture and easy and elastic or springy for the feet
of animals. When all is completed, it will be conspicuous
and of considerable interest to passengers on the railroad.
As no one knows better than Mr. Haggin, the importance
this vicinity is rapidly attaining as an agricultural and stock-
growing district, he is Daturally impressed with the impor-
tance of making ready a suitable, convenient and prominent
place for training and exhibition purposes as soon as possi-
ble. He evidently believes as all men of affairs do, that it
is the true policy to be ready for a need by the time it comes,
instead of incurring the delay, trouble and damage that comas
by putting off action until afterward. As was stated last
week, it is proposed, if an Agricultural Fair Association is
formed and" they desire these grounds, to give them the priv-
ilege of purchasing them on easy terms.

Another Tennessee driver that has done well with pacers
is Bob Anderson. His face is also guiltless of hirsute adorn-
ment, and he has given the boys in the North several hard
falls with the grey gelding Argyle, record 2:I4£, that could
get himself distanced any time by merely making one break.
Two years ago when Anderson and Argyle were at Detroit
and taking part in a pacing race it struck Orrin Hickok, who
was watching the oontest from the grand stand, that, proper-
ly driven, Argyle could win the race, a feat that he was not
by any means performing under the guidanceof Anderson So
Hickok had a hurried consultation with Capt. John De Mass,
who has been on the turf for forty years, and John Turner,
the driver, the result being that the three formed a combine
and leased the services of Argyle for the race, agreeing to
pay Anderson first money whether the horse won it or not,
the only stipnl.ition being that Hickok should drive. He got
up behind Argyle and won two heats easily, but in the third
it was a close fit as to whether Argyle or another horse that
had won two heats would get to the wire first. Anderson
saw this, and as he had quietly bought a few tickets on his
pat he wandered up to the head of the homestretch, to see
how things were coming on. Soon after he reached that point
Argyle and bis competitor came teariDg around the turn,
and as they passed Anderson he saw that Argyle was going
steady and strong and had a nose the best of it. Being well
aware that once he was in the stretch where the road was a
straight one Argyle would not break, Anderson sung out to
Hickok in tones that could be heard for half a mile: "Hit
him, Orrin! Hit that old boss on the back!" Hickok fol-
lowed instructions, Argyle won by a neck, and everybody
but the losers were happy. — Breeder's Gazette.

A Sun correspondent interviewed Mr. Scoggan at Louisville
last week, and this is what that gentleman had to say about
Proctor Knott: "I do not intend that he shall at any time
work faster than 0:53 outside of a race. That is fast enough
to keep him on edge. I don't propose to let him waste his
speed and slrength in record-breaking trials. I'll save that
for the actual race. He is certain to start iu the Suburban if
he has four good legs under him. I propjse to race him
when he is ready, whether that be at Nashville, or Coney
Island, or elsewhere. We begin the season at Nashville, and
from thence take in the entire Western circuit. If at the end
of the Latonian meeting Proctor is good, I will send him and
two others EaBt. He won't start at Brooklyn, and probably
not at Westchester. I don't quite like the idea of sending
him down that hill. I've seen a number of good ones go
wrong that tried it, and shall probably not take any risk
Bat here's one that will start in the Toboggan," referring to
English Lady.

"Proctor Knott's weight in the Suburban wouldn't have
Bnited me better, if I had fixed it myself. No, it won't be tbe
weight that will keep Proctor Koott from winning tbe Subur-
ban. And, if he's fit next June, it won't be L-mgstreet. Sal-
vator nor Tenny that will keep him from winning, tither.
Murphy let Longstreet beat my horse in the Omnibus last
summer by Btupid riding, but there'll be no mistake of that
kind committed this yetr. Proctor is a horse tbat will not
submit to being pulled back in the rut, an Murphy did on
that occ*sion. He likes to either cut out the pace or else
keep well up with the leaders. If Murphy had followed our
instructions to this effect, he couldn't have lost tbe race.
Instead of that, be kept Proctor in the rear for almost a mile,
then feeling his speed and letting him get into a good posi-
tion alongside tbe leader, pulled him back again to last place.
Tbe consequence was tbat LoDgstreet had reucbed the Btretch
before Murpby began to make his run. Once given his head,
Proctnr came like a cannon ball, aud while he passed them
all save the leader, tbe distance was too abort in which to
catoh the Dwyer horse. But I'll bave another go at theRe
Ea tern chaps this summer, and if they beat me again I'll
give up, but oot before,"

The following extract from a letter written by a well known
turfman now in Nashville, Tenn , will be interesting, as it
gives considerableinformatioo about Theodore Winters' Btable;
"Yesterrlay I was at the track and took a look at the Califor-
nians. El Rio Rey looks in splendid health, but is a little
low in flesh. Rey Del Rey has a strong resemblance to the
Emperor, but is a little larger. Don Jose, Joe Courtney and
the other horses from the East look very well, except the first
Darned had one of his fore 1-gs dreased in a wet bandage.
Judge Post, a brother to Don Jose, is a nice lookiDg two-
year-old, of tine size, and from his manner will train quickly
aud run fast. Average is a cat-like going fellow, and will
carry their colors in the Trial Slake here. Noretta, three
years old. a full sister to Alta, will be prepared for the Dun-
can Hotel Stake, and it is no secret that the stable expect to
get the money with her.

The racing sensation in New Orleans laat week, was the
ruling off the turf of the well-known trainer S. C Hildreth,
Bunn, the jockey who rides for him, and the browu geldiDg
Tom Karl. On Saturday a fortnight ago, Lady Blackburn
was made the favorite over Tom Karl in a race in which they
met, whereas nearly every well posted man on the track
knew that the latter was much the faster of the two. The
odds opened up Bhort enough against Karl, but a rumor got
out that be was not to win, and they steadily went up against
him until a false price was quoted at the close of the betting.
Tom Karl's jockey, the boy Bunn, seemed not to try to get
the horse off at the start, find when the flag fell Lady Black-
burn took the lead, and easily held it to the end. Bunn made
some show of whipping Karl, but it was a weak effort. On
Monday the two met again in a race of the same distance.
Tom Karl had a little less weight up than on Saturday, but
not enough to have made any material difference. Before
therace Hildreth went into the ring and backed his horse,
and when they went to the post Tom Karl was at 1 to 4, and
Lady Blackburn at 2 to 1 This time Bunn was alert at the
post, and getting away well placed he soon had the lead,
which his horse held to the end, winning the race in a big
gallop under a strong pull. This was a little too much for
tbe judges, and they called Hildreth into the stand and
asked him to explain how it was that his horse had made
such a wonderful improvemeut in two days' time. He claimed
that the difference in weight was the cause, but with all the
light turnished by the peculiar betting, this failed to satisfy
the judges, and all were ruled off. Hildreth is said to be a
capable trainer, but his horses bave run in a very uncertain
manner all winter.

Speaking of the different trotting horse breeders the Horse-
man says: Monroe Salisbury owner of Director, is tall, of
athletic frame, gray hair and close-trimmed mustache, fair
complexioned and blue eyed. He is good company and ever
ready to delend the merits of Margaret S. and Direct. He
hopes to land Tbe Horseman's Great Expectation Stake with
tbe former, which is. like her owner, a good traveler, and ap-
parently locks forward to a trip across the continent with
pleasure.

L. J. Rose, former owner of Stambonl, and proprietor of
Roserneade Stud, is a medium sized strongly built man, with
a smooth face aud dark, curling hair, tinged with gray. He
is a most genial companion, a man of tbe world, and as an
authority on breeding the trotter has no superior. Beginning
with The Moor, Oveiland and Minnehaha he founded a stud
which passed uu^er the hammer recently for a sum hitherto
unknown in auction records. Thousands wero given for the
representatives of the blood lines he blended at Sunny Slope,
and later at Roserneade. With Sultan's get he first achieved
fame as a breeder, and the youngsters traciDg to that horse
have kept him in the swim since Sweetheart made her first
bow to tbe public about ten years ago.

Leland Stanford, proprietor of Palo Alto Farm, is a tall,
middle-aged, dark complexioned man, with gray hair and
beard. He always dresBes in black, with no jewelry or any
other symbols of the great wealth he possesses. He is very
dignified in bis manner, but is of the nature that draws men
to him. He has given the subject of breeding the trotter
much study, and although many do not agree with hie the-
ories he is respected for having the courage to practically ap-
ply his convinctions. With Electioneer and the mares pur-
chased in the East, as well aB a few selected in California,
he has founded a family which by the records ranks aB the
fastest. To this sire belongs Ihe honor of having four per-
formers with records below 2:17, which is something never
enjoyed by any trotting-breed stallion tbat has as yet been
brought before the public. Palo Alto also developed a new
era in colt-trotting, and its successes and methods bave been
instrumental in bringing many other families to the front ear-
ly in life.

Wm. H. Mathews, well known as a superior care-taker of
trotters, has just got hack from South America, and among
his first acts upon reaching his former home in Ticonderoga,
N. Y., was to sit down and indite a letter to the Mirror and
Farmer. The letter is a chatty one, and feeling sure that
many of "Bill's" friends will be glad to hear from him agaiD,
we cull from it as follows: "I have just returned from Bu-
enos Ayres, South America, and thought I would drop you
a line to let you know that I have had a very fair season in
the Spanish country. Tbe horses that I took there have
done well. I had on my Btnff Century, '2:25, Piano Boy 2:2H.
and Little Walter, 2:29$. Among the other North American
trotters there are Prince Wilkes, 2:14i Spoflord, 2:184, Gov.
Hill. 2:18$, J. Q , 2:171, Tempest, 2:19, Mambrino Archy,
2:24*. Pickwick, 2:26. Clara M.. 2:29:}, Chasey Maid, 2:27J,
EndymioD, 2:23£, Sir Roger, 2:22, and a few others. Prince
Wilkes did not take kindly to the South American ways of
racing; the standing starts didn't suit him at all; he won three
races and went lame, and has been fired. Gov. Hill is by
far the best there; ho won nice races last season. Spofford
comes next, with five winning brackets. J. Q. ib also a fail-
ure in long races. Those people are the gamest set of men
that ever attended a race meeting, and will bet more money
than anybody, but it is more than a money matter to tnke a
good hoTee there, as the risk is great. It takes abont forty-
five days to go from New York to Buenos Ayres, and there
are few animais that it don't knock out. The boys here at
Ti advertised a week's races, but the weather is so mild that
they have declared them off. The horsemen here are all en-
gaged in getting in ice for the New York market, and the
colts are munching hay. There is no snow and the roada
are very bad, not much like tbe weather last year, when we
were lookiug over the stock. I saw John Splan in Londou,
a'so Madam Murantanette and her manager, Mr. Harris, who
all do their little tricks in Barnum's show. Splan has Bold
all the horses tbat he took to Englaud, exoept Mambrino
Sparkle, 2:17, and he will take her back. I leave here about
the 14th with a carload for tbe Kellogg sole, belonging to tb-
Baldwin estate, and after tbat I am ready to sign with any
gentleman who wants the services of one of my calibre, pop-
ing to find joo well. I iemaiDi Sours truly.

THE FARM.

Cattle in the Torrid Zone.

The rearing of cattle in the torrid is neither so extensively
nor so profitably carried on as in the temperate zoneB. The
region within the tropica where cattle rearing is most snccess-
fnl, ib on the elevated plains of Sonth America; yet Brazil,
fully as large as the United States, contains only about
*20,OUO,000 cattle, while our country has over 50,000,000. The
Brazilian cattle are long-horned, loDg-logged animals, of a
yellow brown color resembling those of Mexico and Texas,
and do improvement has taken place in this stock during the
past 200 years. Butter, cheese and milk are almost nnknown
in Brazil, and what batter is osed is imported from other
conntries. The milk consumed is the condensed product
imported from the United States, while cheese is so rarely
naed as to cauBe but little demand for it. While cattle are
numerous in Brazil, Rio Janeiro, the leading city, imports
54,000,000 pounds of dried beef from Uruguayand the Argen-
tine Republic for the use of its people.

Many cattle are raised in the United States of Colombia,
but there has been no attempt to improve the breed since
they were introduced into South America by the Spaniards.
Those raised upon the lo* plains when taken to the higher
plateaus give to the grass through their saliva a poison known
as "ranilla," which destroys manycattle of the cooler climate.
The grass has to be burned several times to kill this pest,
which will often last a whole year before it can be got rid
of. The hotcountry cattle, after beiDg kept for some months
on the higher plains, lose the power of poisoning the grass.
Further losses are occasioned by tigers, as it is estimated that
five per cent- of the cattle raised are killed by these animals.
All cattle are pastured the whole year in the countries of
South Americi, and receive no care during summer or winter,
though twice a year the herds are rounded up to brand and
mark the calves. In Peru no butter or cheese is made, and
milk is seldom used. This country dues not produce enough
cattle for its own use, and many head are imported from
Chili and the Argentine Republic.

In Venezuela, cattle roam at l*rge during the whole year,
no attention being paid to them except to brand the calves in
the Spring and Fall. Many auimalB run wild, and are as
unapproachable as deer or antelope. In Bolivia the gnanac,
the llama, alpaca and the icunha, take the place of cattle to a
great extent. In the West Indies, owing to the heat of the
climate, cattle do not thrive as well as in colder lands, and
but few of them are raised.

In Horjduras, while many cattle are reared, some peculiar
customs prevail. The State law prohibits the slaughtering
of cows; bullB are not castrated till three years of age, and
are not killed for beef till six or seven years of age, so that
Honduras has the poorest and toughest beef of any cattle
country in the world. Instead of keeping their finest and
best bulls to breed from, they select their strongest and larg-
est for slaughtering, hence there is no improvement in the
stock of that region.

Two causes interfere with cattle rearing in Honduras. The
first is the presence of the puma or tiger, which is capable of
killing a full grown ball, and annually destroys thousands of
head; the second is a venomous spider which stings the ani-
mal just above the hoof, causing the foot to rot and drop off.
Ownership in that country is indicated by branding, the same
as in the western part of the United Slates.

In all Honduras there is not a butcher's block, saw or
cleaver, but beef is torn from the bones with butcher knives,
and is consumed in a few hours after the animal is slaugh-
tered.

Cattle in Ceylon are of native stock, as the natural pastur-
age is so poor that European cattle will not thrive. The
grass being of a coarse, wiry character, collects in a ball in
the animal's stomach, and cannot be digested. The cattle
must therefore be fed upon roots, grain, or other artificial
food. The imported cattle cannot endure the humid climate
of the sea coast, and must be kept on the elevated plains of
the interior. The native cattle are the small, humpbacked,
Singhalese breed which are difficult to improve, for when
they are crossed with other breeds they do not produce a
hardy and vigorous stock. While they improve in milking
qualities, they lose in other points. These native cattle, are
only four feet high, and weigh when alive but 350 pounds.
The cows give only two quarts of milk a day, and unless they
are fed upon roots, grain, cotton-seed cake or poonac, they
will give but half of this small amount. The milking season
only lasts during six months of the year. These cattle are
tough and hardy little animal-*, used as beasts of burden, and
are driven in carts, often at the rate of six mile3 an hour.

Siam and Malaysia are not cattle breeding countries, and
the cows are the lop-eared hump-backed kind, with a thin
covering of hair. Milk and butter are almost unknown, and
the cow is generally used as a beaBt of burden. For hun-
dreds of years there has been no attempt to improve this
class of animals. In Ztnzibar the cattle are few in numbers
and of little value. On the Philipine IslaudB the cattle are
like most of those in hot conntries, kept as beasts of burden
rather than for dairy purposes.

In southern China, buffalos are more common than ordi-
nary cattle. These animals, like those in parts of India and
tropical Africa, are well adapted to the low marshy regions
and hot climate of those countries. The buffalos are larger
and more powerful, and can haul a greater load than the
ordinary ox; they bear the heat belter, and are not so subjeot
to disease. In many parts of Asia and Africa they are packed
like horses, but the loads they uarry must be such that the
water will not injure them, for the buffalo is almost certain
to lie down in every stream he croBses. He prefers the
rough, coarse herbage found in the marshy districts, and will
wallow for hours in the water and mod till he in completely
covered with a coat of the latter. These animals are exten-
sively used in India, parts of China, the islands along the
coast of Asia, in Egy'pt, Italy and Hungary.

The flesh of the buffalo is greatly inferior to that of the ox,
but the buffalo cow gives a large quantity of milk, and it is
from this milk that Ghee or the semi-fluid butter of India is
made.

Cattle of Sierra Leone are ot the sorub kind, and quite
small. The beef is dry and tasteless, no butter is made, and
what is used comes from goats. The Balonda negroes of
Africa raise cattle, but thiev are wild, and have to be shot
down like deer. Among the Demara tribes cattle are com-
mon, but milk is rarely used. The Kaffirs, on the other
hand, milk their cows take good care of their stock. A hole
is made through the nostrils of the animal, and through this
a Btick is inserted, so that if the cow does not stand still, tbe*^
Btick can be twisted, giving great pain to the animal and
obliging her to remain quiet. Among the Jlaftir tribes the
yard where the cows are kept is called tbe Isi-Baya, and into
this the women are never allowed to come on pain of death.
Wives are bought and paid for with cows, each wife costing
from eight to fourteen cows.

The Latooka tribes keep large numbers of cattle, and to
prevent any being stolen, they are driven at night into
large stockades, passing through a narrow gate-way just wide
enough to admit one animal. Over this is hung a bell in
such a manner that each one rings it in passing in or ont.
Cattle in the tropical parts of Australia are not so successful
as in the temperate parts, and during the past ten years there
has been a decrease there of almost 2,000.000 head. A little
further south or in New Zealand, some of the finest cattle in
the world are produced, and all the breeds are reared in great
perfection.

In no part of the world are there such vast numbers of
cattle and such splendid breeds as in the United States and
Western Europe, nor is it probable that any part of the Tor-
rid Zone will ever compete with the region just named in the
rearing of fine cattle, though there is a good market for '.pure
bred cattle, whioh will keep increasing. It is in our own
country and those of Europe that cows are raised for dairy
purposes, while in the tropical regions they become only
beastB of burden or are killed for their hides and tallow.

The Management of Boars.

One of the easiest things possible is to be able to find fault
with the writings and mode of action of other people. Just
to prove tbe truth of this to a slight extent, I will suggest
that the communications of "A Farmer's Son" would have
been read with moae pleasure and profit had he given his
name, as your readers would then have been able to estimate
the value which ought to be placed on the opinions expressed
by his communications which appeared in the Journal of the
3rd and 17th ult,

The system recommended in his firBt letter is not Buch a
one as I adopt — this may simply prove that in this there are
two ways of arriving a tthe same end— and to me it also
appears as though the thirst for learning exhibited by "A
Beginner" in the letter given in your issue of the 10th nit ,
will not be completely assuaged by the reply of "A Farmer's
Son," which you gave last week. It struck me that "A Be-
ginner" gave such valid reasons for his disagrefment with
the advice given that he was deserving of a somewhat more
specific reply than was furnished by ' A Farmer's Son" who
seemed more anxious to show fight, to deal in generalities,
and to credit "A Beginner" with opinions not expressed,
than to really grasp the question and to give reasons for his
actions and definite proof for his statements. If we closely
analyze or boil down his reply it may prove to be very good;
but it is no answer to, "A Beginner," nor does it furnish
as with much of fact or instruction; of statement tbe reply
is liberal, and here comes in the great necessity of your read-
ers being furnished with the name of the person who gives
his opinions and practices, as unsigned statements are now-
adays looked upon with a certain amount of doubt. Besides
this, if the public were only aware of the large and success-
ful experience of "A Farmer's Son" how much more valua-
ble for argumentative and practical purposes his writings
might become.

Being myself, as I take "A Farmer's Son" to be of a retir-
ing disposition I too 6houid like to air my opinions over a
synonym, but I fear you might not allow me to do so after
my remarks on anonymous writers. I must therefore keep
my notions to myself and give you only my system of man-
aging my boars and the sows at certain limes.

As some few of your readers may be aware, I have for
nearly thirty years, humored my fancy for pigs, and during
that period I have tried well nigh every variety, some of
them on a tolerably large scale. One of my greatest difficul-
ties has been to obtain a really good boar, which will not on-
ly please the eye or win prizes, but a boar which will beget
pigs true to type and well formed, and with no variety have
I had greater difficulty than wilh Large Whites. I have not
hesitated to give long prices. I have bought boars from the
greatest prize winning herds, and the result has been mnoh
the same, the produce would come black and white, as did
some of those by a noted Royal winner; of the little pigs
from one litter would furnish small, middle or large whites,
as did some litters begotten by a boar from one herd. This
annoyance has caused^me to try to do without purohasieg
many stock boars, and to effect this I am obliged to keep a
somewhat larger number of boars of my own breeding to
cross with the sows of the other distinct families or strains.
This would strike some persons as an expensive system; so
it is, but to it I attribute much of my success in pig breed-
ing. In this opinion I am partially supported by a remark I
heard made some years since by Mr. G, M. Sexton, whose
success with his Small Blacks was almost phenomal. It was
to the effect that he found himself well repaid by keeping a
boar solely to mate with one particular sow which produced
to this boar such good pigs. I have now eleven boars which
are used more or less; ten of these were bred by myself.
Four of the oldest of these— Holywell Giant 15th 699, Holy-
well Joseph (Vol. VI.) Holywell Jackie 989, and Holywell
Judge 993— are located in an old shed divided off with rails,
so that at all times the boars can see and smell each other,
and, when they choose, can have a little talk with each other
over the tops of the division rails. As theBe boars are all
over two years old, they require little or no exercise beyond
that which they give themselves when a sow is taken to be
mated with one or other of them; there is then a little ex-
citement amongst the disappointed ones, but this does not
last long. As the sow is only allowed one service, she is then
taken away at once, the uproar soon subsides, and a stranger
going to look at the boars a few minotes afterwards would
notice nothing unusual, although he might be surprised that
boars so situated should be so quiet, all the boars coming to
the gates in their turn to have their usual share of notice.

It is the greatest possible mistake to suppose that boars are
naturally savage, they simply require to be well, but firmly
treated, never give them an opportunity to prove that they
are stronger than their attendants or feeders: I have bad
hundreds of boar?, and only one has been really savage; this
was SampBon VI, 123, a boar which won for me a number of
prizes, including two at the Royal, and which I afterwards
sold into the North, where he coutioued his showyard sue
cesses, and aiBO sired a number of splendid pigs. This boar
was made savage solely through the harsh treatment and
nervousness of the old man who attended to him for a time.
A ohange of feeder had some effect, but the bad habits were
never wholly lost. None of his stock inherited the weakneps,
so we may infer that it was not hereditary. All young stock
boars should be walked out for a few minutes occasionally,
the attendant hiving a stiok or a whip, keepiug close to tbe
quarters of tbe boar, and not allowing him to stop and to
commence puwiog and champing; the trouble begins when,
it at any time, the boar facon tbe driver, aud is tons belter
prepared for an aMuok, which, if serious mid determined, is
likely to be in favor of the quadruped. Many young boars
of about a year old will champ and fame when first let out of
their stye, especially if another boar has just been exercised

on the same ground, but if he is kept on the move he soon
quiets down, and walks off "like a Christian," as an old pig.
man of mine used to say.

Before we have got as far as this we have to select the
young boar, and this ought, if possible, to be done almost aa
soon as the little pigs are farrowed. This can be done then
just as easily, and with greater certainty, than when the pigs
are weaned. The thickest, best shaped and most robust at
two days will, barring accidents, be the best of the litter at
maturity, whereas the best and faltest pig at weaning time
often owes its apparent superiority to the position of the teat
at which it has sucked, and sometimes to the decease of its
neighbor, so that it has had two teats to suck instead of one.
This or any other advantage cannot be obtained by any of
the litter before birth. They then share alike, and the one
best devtloped when farrowed is constitutionally stronger, or
is by nature better formed than its brothers and sisters.
ThiB is no theory or assertion, but approved fact.

One of the chief requirements in the successful growth of
a young boar, whether he be intended solely for breeding or
exhibition purposes or for the two combined, is plenty of ex-
ercise from the age of two to at least six months. You may
appear to sacrifice flesh, and even at times growth, but you
secure health, muscle and sound joints. Numbers of boars
are rendered useless at an early age by heing kept shut up in
a small stye and highly fed when they are young in order to
bring them early to maturity and to improve their appear-
ance, the owner entirely forgetting that in a state of nature
the young boar is of a most roaming disposition, and that by
the repeated selection of the most sleepy and the most prone
to lay on fat, we have made the boar still more dependent
upon a certain amount of liberty to Becure a healthy devel-
opment of the chief organs.

Many young bo.irs are also rendered infertile at an early age
through being used as soon as they show any desire, from
being too frequently used when young or being turned
amongst a considerable number of yelts or sows. In the lat-
ter case the boar will often completely exhaust himself in his
frequent attentions to an old sow which will persist in re-
maining in a state of heat for three or four days. If this be
often repeated the boar loses muscle and appetite and soon
becomes sterile, whilst the number of pigs in each litter will
be small, and the pigs often weakly and sometimes ruptured.
I have more than once proved that by too frequent use of a
boar, the number of pigs which he will beget from the sow
put to him at the latter period, are neither so numerous nor
so good. It is also a great mistake to have the boars' bouse
within hearing of the place where the sows are located; the
boar becomes restless and iritated, and he acquires bad hab-
its if the sows at certain times are allowed to be within sight,
scent, or hearing. The young boar should be at least seven
or eight months old before he is mated with a young sow,
and if properly managed a boar of really good constitution
will often remain fertile until he be seven or eight years old,

Shipment of Holsteins to South America.

By the steamer ' City of New York", sailing on the 22nd
of March, 1890, there was shipped from Mr. F. H. Burke's
ranch at Menlo Park, two bulls and four females, thorough-
bred Holstein — Friesians. to Valparaiso. These were shipped
to till an order, and were the first ever sent to South Amer-
ica, although Mr. Burke has sent cattle to British Columbia,
the Sandwich Islands and Mexico, but has never before sent
them sooth of the equator.

The largest bull sent was "El Cuervo Netherland", one of
the best bulls ever seen in a California show ring and for him
an extra large stall had to be built, being ten inches longei
than any other ever put upon a mail steamer on this coast.
He is a winner of the following prizes:

First prize in Oakland in 1SSS as the best two year old Hol-
stein bull; at the Sacramento State Fair in the same year,
first prize as a two year old, at Stockton Fair tbe same year
he took the first prize and also stood at the head of the herd
winning first prize, and won the sweepstakes himself.

In 1889, first prize in Napa as the best bull of any age,
bead of the winning herd in Napa, first prize in Petalumi
the same year, head of the herd there aod sweepstakes. A
the Sacramento State Fair in 18S9 he was awarded the firel
prize as the best Holstein bull of any age, showing agaiu&i
the largest nnmber of Holsteins ever entered for prizes in
California. Also stood at the head of the sweepstake herd
at the State Fair, and as an individual winding thesweepstaket
for Holsteins.

The other bull is a youngster by El Cuervo Netherland. Id
the consignment goes the show cow "Edna of Troy" who waa,
in the herd winning the first prize in Stookton in 1S86, and
wasalso awarded (the same year and at the same fair) firot prizi
as the beBt yearling cow; also first prize in San Jose as ( lit
best yearling and was one of the herd winning there in 1887'
She was awarded the first prize in Oakland as a two year old,
and also at Stockton and San Jose the same year.

The other animals are as yet untried heifers Tbese ani-
mals have been brought by large ranch owners in Sontb
America to experiment with the breed.

Imports and Exports-

i I

In 1SS9 the United States imported sheep for food pan
poses to the valoe of SI, 130,281, against §1,206,328 tbe ye»l
before. Of sheep for breeding purposes we imported §595,11'.,
worth, ag^nst $71,034 worth the year before. Onr import
of wool in the sam time were worth $18, 096,277, against
$14 542,244, in 1SS8: manufactures of wool to the value oil
$54,080,159 og«nst $49. 9S4.29S in 1S88. The total imporj.
tations of sheep, wool and manufactures of wool last yearn
then amounted in value to $74,001,830 against $65,806,90'l|
in 18S8.

In the same time we exported sheep to the value of $393,-
185 against $243,483 in 1SS4; mutton, $30,b42, against $16..!
955; wool, $43,433. against $5,228; manufactures of wool
$397,235, against $396,757. Our total exports of this kirn
would then foot up $864,495 agsiuBt $662. 483 in 1888. Tha
is to ^ay, in ISSSour imports of flock products were wort
over S5i times us much as our exports.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED FT ABPHIPPOS,

SUMMARY.

The first oross conntry ran of the Alpine Amateur Athlet-
ic Club which took place at Saasalito on Sunday lust was a
great success. Below will he found the programmes of two
very impurtant oat-door athletic meetings whioh will come
off in this oily within two months. Several notes of inter-
est to the athletes will be found in these columns under their
particular headings.

BTTNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The report that James Jarvis the English walker was about
to leave the city is not true Mr. Jarvis has no intention of
departing from San Francisco at present and he will repre-
sent the Olympic Club in the one and three mile walks at
the ohampionship meeting on May 30.

Messrs Cherry and Lichtenstei n of the Alpine Club are prac-
ticing daily with the rapiers and will give an exhibition of
their skill at the coming ''Ladies ftight" exhibition.

Frank L. Cooley the well known amateur runner is inter-
esting himself in the study of Hamlet. It is his intention
to appear in the role of an amateur actor in the near future.

It would appear that the members of the recently organ-
ized Garden City Athletic Club of San Jose are intent on
makiDg a great show at the championship games. Strange
that so many good men spring up all at once. From the
accounts published during the past week in the daiiy papers
the San Jose athletes are all capable of winning champion-
ships. The morning of May 30 may see a good many disap-
pointed athletes rise from their couches after having spent
a weary night.

The annual games of the San Francisco Athletic Club will
be held at Glen Ellen, Sonoma Co. Cal. on Sunday, April 20

Judging from the success of the two cross country runs
lately held at Saasalito a championship oross country run un-
der the auspices of the F. C. A. A. A. may possibly bs given
daring the summer.

The Atheneum Athletio Club has gone out of existence.
Some of its members have retired entirely from the athletic
world whilst others have connected themselves with other
clubs.

It is claimed that the Pacific Athletic Club is still in exis"
tence, bat we would like to know where the members meet-
Action has already been taken in regard to the Standing of
the clnb by the P. C. A. A. A. and in a short whileit will be
decided whether the club is a dead letter or cot.

Aocording to the New York Clipper of March 22. Horace
Coffin is credited with holding the Pacific Coast Amateur
half mile running record of 3min. 31sec. The eastern folks
mast think the runners out this way awful Blow. Mr.
Coffin's record is for a walk and not a run, hence the error.
The same paper in its list of coming events announces that
on May 30 the O. C. will will hold its Epricg games and on
July 4 the P. G. A. A. A. will hold its annual championship
games. These announcements are certainly new to the ath-
letes here for it has already been decided that the grounds
of the O C. will be opened on May 30 with the championship
games of the P. C. A. A. A.

A league has been formed to play for the amatenr baseball
\ championship of the PaciBc Coast. The following clubs have
| already entered teams: The University of California, Berkeley,
, the Reliance of Oakland, and the Olympic and E & O. E.'s of
San Francisco. A pennant will be played for. and each club
will play two games with e*ch of the others, The games are
[ to take place at the new Oakland grounds which are being
, fitted up.

The University Lawn Tennis Club is in a very flourishing
condition. The members pay their dues regularly, and one

■ and all seem to take an active interest in the game.

The members of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club held
: their initial cross-country run from the Dexter Cottage at

• Saasalito on Sunday last. Thirty-three members went over
'■ from this side on the 10 A. m. boat. Both Mr. and Mrs, Boss

• Jackson, of the Dexter Cottage, received, the athletes with
open armB, and the best rooms in the house were turned over

■ to the runners to be used as dressing rooms. At 11:17, H.
0. Farrell, the treasurer of the club, started the following
men on their long tramp over to the Fog station at Lime

' Point and return: C. W. Meyer, C. Vnltee, W. Frank, P. N.

mer, J. J Larkey, F. M. Howard. K. L. Martin. George Wil-
liamson, T. V. Kennedy, T. S. Brown, T. L. Carroll and E.

' Lewis.

The contestants werearrayed in different colored costumes,
and they formed a very pleasing and interesting sighi as they
sped on their way towards the hills. The run to the Fog
station, 3 miles, was made in 10 minutes. After resting a
few minutes the pack started for home, but after going a

i short distance, the boys divided into two teams; one team

■ under the guidance of John D. Garrison continuing on the
old trial, the other team preferring to climb over a high hill

' which loomed up in the distance. The Garrison team

■ arrived home in 39 minutes, the leader arriving at the finish-
ing point some 2 minutes ahead of his men. The CasBidy

■ team, on account of having covered more ground, did not

■ get back until 4 minutes later.

The day wa3 exceptionally fine, and the boys enjoyed the
run immensely, the pace being very moderate. After bath-

■ ing and cooling off, the hungry athletes assembled in the
' dining-room of the Dexter Cottage, where a fine lunch was
i served. H. O. Farrell acted as toast master. A vote of
' thanks was given to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for the very hos-
' pitable manner in which they treated the Alpine boys. The

participants all returned to the city on the boat which left
Sansahto at 4:15.

The University cinder path is in a very bad condition, and
should be fixed at once, so that the students may be able to
train properly for the coming games.

The University athletes who intend competing in the dis-
tance races at the championship games are training on the
road iu front of the new Chemistry Department, the cinder
path being in too bad a state to allow of training on it.

The second Field Day of the Alpine Amateur Athletio Club
will be held, possibly at the Bay District track, on Sunday,
May 4th, commencing at 1.30 P. m. sharp. The programme,
which consists of seven closed events and four open, is as
follows, for members of the club only:—

1. 100 yards run, novice.

2. 120 yards run, handicap.

3. 210 yards hurdle, handicap, 2ft. 6in.

4. 880 yards run, handicap.

5. Seven eighths mile steeplechase, handicap.

6. 1 mile run, handicap.

7. Banning high jump, handicap.
The open events are: —

S. 3 mile walk, handicap.
9. 3 mile run, handicap.

10. 100 yards run, handicap.

11. 440 yards run, handicap.

Two prizes will be given for each event, and the winners
may select either medals or prizes, according to their tastes.
An entrance fee of fifty cents will be charged for each event.
Entries may be made to the Secretary of the Alpine Athletio
Club, 706 Powell street, San Frantisco, or to the Secretaries
of the diffVrent clubs belonging to the Pacific Coast Amateur
Athletio Association.

We are in receipt of the following communication from
Mr. F. L. Cooley, the champion amateur long distance run-
ner of the Pacific Coast, and a member of the Olympic Club:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: —

Dear Sir, In one of the daily papers of Monday last ap-
peared a challenge from Mr. Rankin of the Alpine Ath-
letic Club, in which he offers to ran any amateur iu
America. If Mr. Rankin will place a deposit in the hands
of the Breeder and Sportsman, I will immsdiately cover the
same and arrange a five mile race with him to take place on
the Olympic Club grounds five weeks after signing articles.

The agreement must be drawn up in strict accordance with
the amateur rules. Yours truly,

F. L. Cooley,
Olympic Club, San Francisco, Cal.

March 26th, 1890.

The following is a list of the championship events which
will be decided on Decoration Day at the new grounds of the
Olympio Club: —

1. 100 yards run.

2. 220 yards run,

3. 440 yards run.

4. 880 yards run.

5. 1 mile run.

6. 3 mile run.

7. 1 mile walk.

8. 3 mile walk.

9. Running high jump.

10. Running long jump.

11. Pole vault.

12. Throwing 16 lb hammer.

13. Putting 16 lb. shot.

14. Flinging 56 lb. we;ght.

15. 120 yards hurdle, 2ft. 6in.

16. 220 yards hurdle, 2ft. 6in.

In addition three events will be added which will be open
only to members of the Olympio Club.

The regular championship events will be all scratch, the
Olympio events will be handicap. An entrance fee of §1 will
be charged, fifty cents to be returned to starters. Three
costly medals will be awarded for each event, and the club
winning the most points will be presented with a handsome
pennant emblematic of the championship for 1890. The en-
tries will close on May 20, 1890.

Hereafter associate clubs of the P C A A A giving open
games must oomply with ihe rules of the American Athletic
Union. All open handicap events must be handicapped by
the official handicapper of the P C A A A. This official has
not yet been eleoted but the probabilities are that Captain
Jordan, of the O C, will be selected. In the past he has
proven himself to be a competent handicapper, and it would
be hard to find a man with more experience or better able to
fill the position.

It is proposed to hold a wrestling tournament at the Olym-
pic Club rooms sometime in May.

Two or three members of the Lurline Club who are good
runners are anxious that the club make application for mem-
bership in the P C A A A.

THE WHEELMEN.

The rules of the League of American "Wheelmen forbid rac-
ing on Sunday, and the Alpine Athletic Club will not add a
bicycle race to its next outdoor programme on this account.

The Oakland Bicycle Club of 1839, will take an active inter-
est in racing this year. The club will be strongly represented
at the coming tournament.

The California Division. League of American Wheelmen,
has decided to hold its next annual meeting on April 19th.
At this meeting arrangements will bs made for the Fourth of
July tournament. The divisions of Napi, San Jose, Stock-
ton and Sacramento are taking an active interest in the com-
ing tournament and a number of good races are looked for.
A road book will be issued to members giving the available
country roads and the distances from this city.

There will be a picnic run of the Bay City Wheelmen to-
morrow to Lake Honda. The start will take place from the
corner of Van Ness and Market streets. Captain Richardson
will start the men at 10 a. m. sharp, and all the wheelmen are
requested to be on time.

According to the rules of the A A U, a two-mile bicycle race
should be added to the championship programme of the P C
AAA, but as the new track of the Olympio Club is so small
the chances are that that event will be droppsd from the list.

AT THE OARS.

Sunday was all that could be desired by the oursmeu, and
several knights of the oars made their appearance on the bay.

The Larline Club will hold its second high jinks next
month. Jimmie Carroll has consented to spar four rounds
with some other prominent middle weight. A good pro-
gramme will be given.

John Muirhead, the amateur single scnller of the Ariel
Club will send East and get a Ruddock boat as he seriously
thinks of entering the regatta this year.

The Ariel Club ha* expended the sum of $100 in repairing
the float in front of their house and nuderpinning the house
itself, and the club will probably remain in ita preseot quar-
ters for some time to come.

James Cochran has at hst began his career as a sinele
sculler. Last Sunday, while taking the first trial in a shell,
be received a sodden introduction to Neptune, and after get-
ting back into his boat again he continued rowirjg for an
honr without taking his second plunge. He is a rery prom-
ising stndent in the art of sculling.

The Pioneer Club shows the most activity at present. All
the club boat3 were out on Sunday. Hanraban and Coffey,
Espy and Larson will no doubt form the amateur crew from
this club.

Referring to the challenge recently issued by Henry Peter-
sen offering Henry Henctman of Stockton fifteen seconds'
start in a three mile race, we do not pee how the foimer can
afford to be bo liberal. From the toi e of a letter which we
received from a friend residing in Stockton, it would seem
that Henceman can row just as fast as Petersen has ever done
during his many trials. Henceman haB rowed a trial this
spring inside of 21 minutes while training for his race with
Charley Long.

Messrs. Ronard (Captain) O'Brien, Berkeley and Murphy,
with Dunn as coxswain, have been rowing to Harbor View
during Lhe pleasant evenings of the present week.

The Dolphin Clnb had out two barge crews, and their
pleasure barge with several lady friends went to Hunters
Point for dinner. After enjoyiug the sparkling wit of Brother
Dwyer the ladies voted the sail a decided succobs.

The South End Club have at last awoke from their long
slumber and st-nt out three crews on Sunday. The members
indulged in several impromptu races around Mission Rock
and back to the boat house.

H. O. Farrell, the Secretary of the PaciBc Rowing Associa-
tion, writes that the next meeting of the Association will be
held at the rooms of the Alpine Clab. 706 Powell street, on
Monday evening, April 7th. The reconstruction of the ama-
teur rules relating to the Pacific Rowing Association will be
taken up, and the rules and amendments paBsed at the last
meeting will be adopted.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

A general meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club
will be held on Thursday evening next.

The regular monthly exhibition of the Golden Gate Ath-
letic Clnb was successfully held last Wednesday eveDing at
the club rooms on Stevenson street.

An athletic clnb is being formed at San Mateo. MeBBrs.
T. Coleman C. Hatch, W. Price, Dr. Baldwin and P. Malo-
ney are the Committee on Organization.

The Garden City Wheelman of San Jose, Cal., will try to
shut out the Alpine Athletic Club at the coming champion-
ship games, There are some old and experienced athletes in
the Alpine Clab and the San Jose tyros will have their hands
full in trying to defeat them.

The new out door grounds of the Olympio club are now in
full possession of the athletic committee and the athletes may
begin to ase them wherjever they desire.

A meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. was held at the Olympio
Club rooms on Friday evening last. Walter A. Scott presid-
ing. A programme of the events for the championship games
was artoote 1 and it was decided that the rules of the Ameri-
can Athletic Union will in future be adopted by the Associa-
tion as far as the holding of games is concerned. The meet-
iog adjourned to laBt evening.

A few of the Olympic Club members are kicking because
the Directors agreed to allow a club of ladies to use the gym-
nasium two mornings each week. As only a handful of mem-
bers are incommoded by this agreement it is probable the
kick will amount to nothing. Perhaps if ten yonng men
who are doing the kicking were allowed to watch the fair
ones they would forget their objections and hold their tongues.
The class began practice on Monday morning under the
guidance of Professors Smyth and Tronchet and the head-
way made by the young ladies in the course of a couple of
hours was most wonderful. When the class grows larger
the fair ones mav rent club rooms of their own where they
will be e*abled to practice muscular development without
fear of being seen by the "horrid men."

The Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association has declined to
join the Amateur Athletic Union.

J. M. Crowie, the ex-amatenr champion sprinter, of Eng-
land, will run for the Manhattans tins year.

Luther Cary. of Chicago, is running in grand form. He
will represent the Manhattans at the championships the com-
ing season.

At the last meeting of the Directors of the Western Asso-
ciation, it was decided to hold the boxing and wrestlinR
championship at St. Loais, on March 28th and 29th, instead
of at Chicago.

Eistern men are anxious to have the Western Associstion
clubs go into the Union. It is likely that a meeting of repre-
sentatives of both bodies will be held before long.

The Pennsylvania Bicycle Club of Philadelphia has twelve
lady members.

The report of Secretary Bassett L. A. W., chowed that
income from membership bad been $16,701. Of the sum
collected, S10342. 50 had been distributed to 30 state divis-
ions and the balance retained by the organization. The sec-
retary said that of the 1558 members who joined the first year,
but 95 now remain on the rolls. The membership of the
league at present is 12,500. New York stands first in mem-
bership, Massachusetts second, and Pennsylvania third.
Treasurer Brewster's report shows a balance of $1,887.

THEGOT,

The L- C Smith Gun-

We won Id respectfully call your attention to some ol the
principal shooting events of 1887 and 18SS, which we trnst
yon will accept as substantial proof that the Smith Gnns are
far in the lead in handling and shooting qualities, which has
led to itR general adoption by expert trap shooters, who waut
the best Bhooting and handling guns obtainable,

At the Chamberlin Cartridge Co. 'a Tournament, held at
Cleveland, O., from September 13th to 16th inclusive, for the
year 1SS7, the "Smith" gun won first money in evpry claaB.
It also won nearly two-thirds of the entire amount ($3,000) of
cash prizes, and championship Diamond Trophy which was
awarded with first money in the 90 class. In the 90 class it
won the 1st, 2d and 4th moneys; in the SO class it took the
1st, 3d, 4th and 5th; in the 70 class it took 1st aud 2d, with
the 1st and 6th iu the 60 class, making a total winning nearly
four times greater than any other gun, of either foreign or
home manufacture.

At the Chamberlin Cartridge Co.'s Tournament, held at
Cleveland, C\, September 12th to Hth inclusive, for the year
188S, the "Smith" gun won first money in the 90, SO aud 60
classes. It also won the Diamond Trophy, which was
awarded to the winner of first money in 90 class, and nearly
two-thirds of the entire amount (3,000) of ca=h piizes.

At the KeyBtone Manufacturing Co.'s Tournament, held at
Corry, Pa., September 18. 19, 20, and 21, 1888, the "Smith"
gun won all of the trophies, and out of the $1,351 50 in cash
prizes in this tournament, it won $901 04. Considering that
eight other makes of guns were iised in tbia tournament, yon
will see what remarkable winners the "L, C. Smith" guns
are.

WINKERS IX CHAMBEBL1K CARTRIDGE COMPANY'S TOURNAMENT

Alameda County Club.

The first meeting of the season was held at Oakland Trot-
ting Park on Saturday last. All conditions were most favor-
able, and the poor scores are only to be aocounted for by the
fact that the birds were all quick drivers, the best shot at for
many a day.

Mr. C. M. Oaborn carried away first prize. He was in
great form and shot beautifully, getting but one incomei,
But two others of the eighteen got into double figures,
Messrs. J. O. Cadman and H. Schroeder.

The prizes for the year are a match bos of gold and silver,
fashioned into a shot cartridge, with a fine diamond for a
primer; a medal and a gold dog whistle.

Pheasants.

a free use of Her Majesty's English as might do justice to the
occasion.

Very soon after a day's shootiog begins, especially if the
birds are flying well or the wind is high, the gnns will find
their real level. A really first class shot is rarely met with,
the more's the pity; but each least bad shot among a lot of
duffers will think himself to be one, and his friends will flat-
ter the delusion. A mao may be from some cause or another
off color and shooting badly, but it is quite easy to see, from
the way he handles his weapon and takes his birds, if he
knows what he is about. Another man may, on the con-
trary, on the particular day make a fairly good average of
kills out of the cartridges fired, but then if you watch him,
you will see that he refuses all difficult chances, tailors a good
many very fair shots, and if you ask him about his bag he
will exaggerate, if not deliberately lie to you.

The common English pheasant, Phasianus colckicus, has
been so long naturalised in that country, we are apt to forget
that it was originally introduced there. Its native haunts
are supposed to be on the banks of the river Pbasis, which
runs through ancient Colchis in Asia Minor, and perhaps
the earliest record of its presence in England is given by
Bishop Stubbs, who shows by the regulations of Harold,
1059, unus pkasianus is presented as alternative to two par-
tridges or other birds as rations for the canons of Waltham
Abbey.

The pheasant loves the shelter of the wood or copse, the
thick bushy underwood composed of stunted Bhrubs, bramble
bushes, and other wild plants, where it remains quietly rest-
ing most of the day, preferring the evening and early morn-
ing as the time for visiting its feeding ground in the adjacent
fields. During the autumn and winter months it perches at
night in the larch or other fir trees, where its conspicuous
appearance on a moonlight night renders it an easy prey to
the nocturnal poacher. In the winter the males usually keep
by themselves, "and in spring again choose a domain of their
own, strutting, crowing, and clapping their wings to the ad-
miration of the females." The pheasant (as need not be said
for the information of sportsmen), is liable to 6port in its
plumage, some being found pied, and occasionally white
specimens have been met with, but the most common variety,
which is now so numerous as to be almost considered dis-
tinct, has a white ring round its neck, aDd is in other parts
slightly paler in color than the true specimens.

Some Shooting Men.

These are days of change in sport as in everything else.
The very nature of shooting is altered. The cause has been
assigned to the change in our agricultural system, or to the
artificial rearing now in vogue, rendered necessary by the
ever increasing number of shooting men, says an old English
hand. Now and again one meets with a sportsman of the
old school, who sneers at modern improvements, but as a rule
they too have marched .with the times, and have adapted
themselveB to modern ideas. Take for instance the case of
the Major, who is to be met with at most shooting parties;
that red-faced, jovial creature, the remains of a good shot
and better billiard player. He has been a sportsman more
or less all his life. He was in India at the time of the Mu-
tiny, which he calls being "all through it, sir!" the differ-
ence dwindling during dinner and disappearing after it. The
only remnant of old ideas in hiB case is that he always shoots
black powder out of the second barrel; otherwise he moves
with his age, and although not rich, spends his money like a
prince, and his winters at Monte Carlo. A much more con-
servative individual is Jones, the senior partner in the city
firm of that name. Precise business men are as a rule bad
ahots. They have mostly started sport comparatively late in
life, and even then do not get any useful practice. It is con-
fined to the barn-door sort of snooting which they get on
their own or their friends' places, all, as the land agents
have it, conveniently situated at bo many minutes' run by
fast train from the city. For obvious reasons they prefer
shooting partridges out of standing corn, or pheasants out of
hedgerows, to anything more ambitious, and if by chance a
tall bird is put over them, they are quite at sea; indeed, if
they manage to get their gun off at all at it, they are quite
pleased. And so it is that from choice or nece?sity they are
greatly behind the times, unless it be in the matter of guns,
of which they have as a rule a fine selection,' often buying a
pair of chokebores before they know how to use one which
has not the ghost of & "pinch" in it.

It is impossible to go out Bhooting muoh without meeting
the most dangerous gun of all, a man about town. He com«*
out, not because he cares for the sport, but to display his
gorgeous shooting attire, and to be able to have something to
yarn about at the club afterwards. He is the sort of man that
one heara of as going to have lessons on shooting, and who
cannot understand why it is that he can make good practice
with turnips thrown over his head to resemble pheasants, and
yet that when face to face with the real article finds a distinct
falling off. But it is the old story of the cabbages and the
senators, with an eyeglass and perpetual cigarettes thrown in.
A pseudo sportsman in every sense, his experience is derived
solely from the none too trustworthy correspondence which
fills some of our sporting papers, from wbich he has evolved
sundry new dootrines, such as firing off both barrels at once
at more than usually distant birds. He should be watched
very narrowly at cornets, else he will shoot your pheasants
on the ground and the beaters in the legs.

Heaven forbid that it should ever be your bad fortune out
shooting to meet a sporting parson who has brought Ins dog
with him. Both master and dog maybe quiet enough at home
before the library lire, but as soon as they have seen a rabbit
or two, and beard some shots fired, they both go raving mad.
The parson shoots at birds flying low along the line, aud
swears at missing them. The dogoatcheH the infeclion and
darts into the covert after the next rabbit that h^pa across the
ride. Yap, rnp! away he coes up arid down the wood, until
at last be emerges from the corner wbere the last rise was to
have takeD pluce, amid a cloud of pheapanta and a storm of

oa . No, that is just the worst of it, the preeence of the

holy man, albeit the cause of all the evil, is a check to buou

fers a reward of $25 to any person causing the arrest and
conviction of anyone guilty of violating the game and rich
laws. The club starts under good officers and-fair auspices
and should do good work.

There is no doubt but that the Indians in the mountains
are waBtefully killing deer. The snows have driven the
game down, and Mr. Lo. who claims immunity from the
game laws, has gone to slaughtering them for their hides.
This course will soon exterminate the deer, for they do not
even respect spotted fawns. — Kern Co, Californian.

Don— Croxteth Blood-

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — My kennel has recent-
ly been inoreased by the addition of fourteen pointers, seven
dogs and seven bitches, all of one litter by Point (Vande-
vorts Don — Drab) out of Queen Croxteth (Rush T— Cham-
pion Patti Croxteth T.) '.Che litter is unusual in number,
although not quite equal to the fifteen presented to my friend
Mr. George W. Bassford, whose Blossom littered fifteen to
Point. I have destroyed all but five of the dog puppies
aud four of the bitches. Those remaining are sound, lively,
well sized, nicely marked animals, and I expect every one
of them to prove a bench and field trial winner. They have
more bench and field trial winning blood in them than any
pointers ever before whelped on the Pacific Coast. I must
acknowledge the courtesy of Baron J. H. F. von Schroeder
of this city in permitting the use of his grand dog Point.
Point iB undoubtedly one of the best field dogs of the day,
both in his merit as a performer, and in his breeding which
in tabular form is given.

Croxteth graudsired the Devonshire Kennel's Cherrystone

Truly a brilliant showing for old Croxteth, and one that
few sires can equal. I recently suggested to Mr. E. K. Bench-
ley of Los Angeles, owner of a litter brother to Queen Crox-
teth that he cross his dog upon a litter siBter to Point, owned
by Mr. R. T. Y.anderwort at Pasadenia, and I understand the
cross has been made. If so, another lot of youngsters of
precisely the blood outlined in this letter will soon be com-
ing along in that paradise, the Los Angeles region.

If any of your readers can Bhow up more excellent and sub-
stantial breeding, I hope they will send to your very valua-
ble journal and let us know where we stand in the matter of
pointer strains.

Elcho Kennels, March 26th, 1S90.

The Dimick Crowd-

Mr. Ed. Hough, the forest and Stream representative
travelling with the United States Cartridge Company's teams,
has placed himself high up among keen, faithful reporters by
the accounts of the trip furnished to his journal. "While in
these parts Mr. Hough made many warm friends, who
learned to value him for his ability, earnestness and exceeding
refinement. His work stamps him a fluent, elegant writer, a
close observer and withal a breezy disseminator of "Eng-
lish as she is wrote." We shall expect a volume of rare in-
terest from Mr. Hough after he shall have rested and di-
gested the material obtained in his circum-eontinental jour-
ney.

in his latest report Mr. Hough presents these interesting
data about the members of the teams.

"Up to March 11th the averages were as follows:

1. Wolatencroft, average 92g per cent

'2. Stlce " 92 " "

3. Whitney " 90 25-38 " "

4. McMnrcby " — 90 5-12 " "

5. Heikes " S8& " "

G. Budd " 88 " "

7* W.E.Perry '* 86i " "

8. Ruble n *9i " "

9. Cahoon " 74 39-38 «■ "

10. W.b Perry " 72 9-38 " "

"WolBtencroft is only five birds ahead of Stice. Stice is top

man on the doubles. Heikes is only one bird ahead of Bndd.

Jt may be interesting to note that in two live bird races,
California and Kansas City, nine men, namely Budd, Mc-
Murohy, Wolstencaoft, Stice, W. E. Perry, Heikes, 'Ruble,
Whitney and Tucker, have only lost 13 birds out of 125 they
shot at. That is very strong team shootirjg indeed.

A trifle further in the way of statistics has developed the
following acta fas to the age and weight of the different mem-
bers of this party, and the appended table may be of inter-
est to the curious: —

Fiehine Out of Season.

Editok Breeder and Sportsman:— I have seen for two
weeks past, different persons tinning for trout in the San
Antonio Creek, Routh-west of Pelaluma, almost every day.
On Sunday, the 23d, there were foor well-known parties from
Petalnma trying their luck with hook and line. I think it
is a shame, and the practice should be stopped at once.
What is the use of a fish law if people are not made to live up
to it? It is just so with quail and deer. There is always
some pot-hunter going around who will shoot the first living
thing his eyes discover. The honest sportsman who waits
for the opening of the season, as every man should do, is left
without game to shoot or fish to rise at bis flies on opening
day. This way that certain "thieves" have of fishing and
shooting during close time is played out, and I hope the
people generally will sustain our excellent Board of Fish
Commissioners in its efforts to make convictions, and admin-
ister the full penalties to all guilty persons.

Death of Ulster (Jbief.
Id 1374 Josiah Sessions, of Oakland, brought to California
the stallion Ulster Chief, which ha3 served many mares since
then, and the pedigree appears in many of the present Cali-
fornia tabulations. On Saturday, March l8t, the horse died
from old age. If he bad lived to the 3d of May, he would
have b6en 27 years old. The following is his geneologica1

Thus it will be seen that the Western team is older and
heavier than the Eastern. It may be seen also that Mr.
Dimick is carrying along 2.205 pounds — more than a ton — of
live stock on this trip. Mr. Dimick himself is 31 years old,
and weighs 200 pounds ordinarily. Since yesterday he
weighB a little over 1,300.

Further statistics show us that the man with the largest
foot is either Tucker or Jim Stice. The hungriest man is
either Ruble or Mitchell, the property man. The wisest man
(or the one that knows the most) is either Tucker, W. S.
Perry or Mitchell. The fattest man is Tucker, and the lean-
est W. 8. Perry. The crossest man didn't come along, and
the beBt-natured man is everybody, as near as can be deter-
mined. ^

Elsewhere the breeding of Mr. C. W. Wilson's Jennia to
Mr. Kittle's Luke is noted. Luke is a superb specimen of
the English setter, and as Jennie is about equally good, the
produce should be rarely beautiful B3 well as good in the
field.

Another litter from Mountain Boy and Beautiful Queen
may be exrjected, and we hope more will live than of the last
lot. The oross seems a nick beyond question.

In another column Mr. J. Martin Barney of Dutch Flat,
offers for sale pointer puppies by Tom Pinch— Galatea.
Both sire and dam are animals of exquisite finish, and the
■very highest quality. Tom, especially, is probably the
handsomest pointer living. Both Tom and Galatea have
won on the bench, and Tom is also a field trial winner. The
puppies should be tine as silk and pretty as possible.
■•>

Mr. Joe Bassford Jr. writes to Mr. William Schreifcer, as
follows, about his pointer pnppy Queen's Last (Mountain
Boy— Beautiful Queen). "On the last day of the season I
had the pleasure of seeing my puppy do some extraordinarily
tine work. Her nose is number one. Od point she is per-
fectly petrified. No tail waggle there. She is a perfect back-
er and one of the greatest workers of her age that was ever
turned loose. In fact Bhe is to-day capable of doing a good
hard days work, althougb only Beven or eight months old,
and doing it well- She is in fine condition, growing fast and
filling out handsomely all over."

Never aim at display when driving. It will tell against
you. Try no close shaving. Give especially plenty of room
to lady drivers, to old men or to young, timid horses. Stop
rather than drive anyone into a mess. Get out of the way of
pedestrians if you can, rather than drive them into the dirt
Leave the most level part of the road to high, top heavy loads
whether they are entitled to it or not. Do as you would be
done by with everybody and everything, and don't foolishly
get out of l»mper because other persons may not treat you
the same, or do not even know their business. You may gain
much by such conduct, and will never gain anything by the
reverse.

History of Lady Vernon.

Mr. Joseph Battell, of Middlebury, Yt., is writing a history
of the * 'Morgan Horse," and has sent to California for all
that could be found out about Lady Vernon. The gentle-
man to whom the letter was sent, has kindly permitted us to
copy his answer, which may be of interest to our readers:

Mr. Sessions tells me that Lady Vernon was probably seven
or eight years of age when she came to California, and that
when she died, if his surmise is correct, she must have been
in her twenty-eighth year or thereabouts. You must under-
stand that some years after he boughlLady Vernon, Mr Ses-
sions visited New York, and was there introduced by Somer-
indyke to the man from whom Somerindyke bought her, and
Mr. Sessions gives us the story as he got it from the hog
dealer who sold Somerindyke the mare. I will now try to
give the story as near as possible in his own words:

A party of Indiana horse dealers bought a lot of animals
to sell in the New York market, and while passing through a
small town in New Jersey, stopped at a hotel which was
some distance from the railroad station; the hotel-keeper was
in the habit of carrying the mail from this small town (the
name of whioh Mr. Sessions cannot remember) to the railroad
station, and required an extra horse to perform some of the
work. The horse dealers sold the hotel-keeper the filly,
which they considered would not bring a reasonable price in
New York. When she started carrying the mail, it was found
that she was very fleet of foot, and she was such a square
trotter that she attracted the attention of the hog dealer, who
bought her from the hotel-keeper. This hog dealer is the
one who persuaded Mr. Somerindyke to buy a one-half inter-
est in the filly for §900. Mr. Somerindyke, it seems, drove
her on the road, giving her many brushing races with men
who were in the habit of driving their own roadsters, and
Somerindyke became so infatuated with her, that he bought
the other half interest from the hog dealer, paying him
another §900. Somerindyke sold the mare to Pat Hunt, who
brought her to California, where he raced her, Mr. Sessions
thinks, about six or seven times, securing for her a record of
2:31 (according to Chester, although there are people here
who think she trotted in 2:28 i). Pat Hunt had taken in
with him a partner by the name of Edward Fulton, who
finally secured entire possession of the mare.

In the course of time Mr. Fulton wanted to return to New
Orleans, and asked Josiah Sessions to loan him 61,-00, and
Mr. Sessions mentioned the matter to Chas. Lux, and told
Mr. Lux that if Mr. Fulton did not return the $1,200, that he
(Sessions) would take the mare and pay the money. When
Mr. Lux advanced the money, the mare was in foal to Eis-
ton's David Hill, and a short time afterwards gave birth to a
filly foal.

At about this time Mr. Lux called upon Mr. Sessions and
seemed somewhat afraid that if the mare died he would be
out considerable money. Mr. Sessions took the mare and
filly, paying Mr. Lux his $1200. Fancying that she would
prove a good broodmare, he gave a one-half interest in her
to Stephen Whipple, afterwards owner of Whipple's "Ham-
bletonian" 725. Mr. Sessions tellB me that after she had her
colt by ''David Hill," that notwithstanding the fact that
her legs were badly tired and blistered, she having been re-
peatedly under veterinaries' care, she showed him a half mile
in 1:09. After the first foal was born she was again mated
to David Hill and produced Master Vernon, a horse colt.
Her third foal was by Werner's Rattler and was called Rat-
tler Vernon. Her fourth foal was by Vermont and did not
have a name (so far as Mr. Sessions remembers) it was a
horBe colt. Her fifth foal was by George M. Patcheu, Jr.,
and was called Billy Patchen. Her sixth foal was also by
George M. Patchen Jr., and was called Patchen Vernon.
Her seventh foal was by Hamilton Chief; this foal was called
California Chief. The eighth foal was also by Hamilton
Chief and was subsequently called Tom Vernon. H- r ninth
foal was Oakland Meid 2:22, by Speculation. Her tenth foal
was again by Hamilton Chief; this colt was never named as
be was poiponed. The eleventh foal was by Irwin Davis
and waB called Ned Vernon. Her twelfth foal was by Pine
Knot (a son of Hamilton Chief and out of Trifle, a very fast
road mare which was here in California in early days). Mr.
Sessions tells me that while the mare was still carrying
Patchen Vernon he got into a diVpate with Mr. Whipple as
to how the mare should be bred in future, and be finally
bought out the one-half interest which be had originally giv-
en to Mr. Whipple, for $1600, which included Billy Patchen
(the young colt) and her prospective progeny, the one which
afterwards proved to be Patchen Veruon; from thia time out
he owned her altogether, and consequently all the following
colts were his.

The first foal, which wa3 called Young Vernon, proved very
fast, and Mr. Sessions paid Mr. Whipple $775 for Whipple's
half interest in the foal because as he had given one-half of
the mare to Whipple, Whipple owned one-half of each of
her foals; before the misuoderstanding spoken of above oc-
curred they had divided, Mr. Sessions taking Rattler Ver
non and Mr. Whipple Master Vernon; the Vermont foal Mr.
Sessions cannot remember what became of it.

Our Southern California Letter.

There has been a dearth of live horse news in these parts
for the past fortnight. The sacoessful sale of L. J. Rose at
New Tork has been a fruitful topic for conversation and the
breeding industry in this section has been given a wonder-
ful impetus in consequence. Mr. Rose has sold ten trotters
off his ranch during the past fifteen months, the average of
which exceeds $20,000, a showiDg I believe no other breed-
er in the country can equal.

The owners of fashionably bred stallions report good bus-
iness notwithstanding the complaint of dull times and the
fact that they have not yet learned the benefits accruing from
the judicious use of printers ink.

A sensational and exaggerated report was sent out of this
city over the Associated wires about the lo3s of broodmareB
at S.^nta Anita. The fine broodmares that died are: Fallen
Leaf, Grisette, Maggie Emerson, Marie Stewart and Too Hard.
They were all heavy in foal to Emperor of Norfolk. Maggie
Emerson was the dam of Lucky B. The less said about the
partial cause which led to their death the better.

The San Diego Union of March 23rd, contains a column
about the trotters imported to San Diego by Captain Seaman,
of Bell Boy fame. The genial captain owns H. B. BanniDg
by Abdallah Mambrino, sire of Geneva S 2:19, dam Queen
by Clark Chief by Mambrino Chief, Thomas Rydyak by
Rydsyk, dam Largesse 2:26 by Scott's Thomas: Josiah A, by
Clingstone II, dam Miss Wilkes and Acquaintance by Stran-
ger, dam by Mambiioo Star.

It will therefore oe seen that San Diego County is looming
up as the home of the fashionable bred trotter.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

Jockey Barnes started for New Orleans last week.

Los Angelos will be unusually well represented on the
grand circuit this year.

The WoolBey youDgsters at Chino are highly spoken of.

The Rose string of runners is doing finely at the track.
They will be taken north for the Blood Horse Meeting.

The Sixth District Association have arranged for two and
three year old trotting stakes for 1S90 and 1891. The con-
ditions will shortly be advertised in the Breeder and
Sportsman.

A number of improvements are in contemplation for the
Agricultural Park track in the very near future.

President Riffenburg of the Pacific Beach tiaek was a re-
cent visitor in Los Angeles. He reports that a meeting will
shortly be aonounced for San Diego.

The entries for the spring meeting of tbe Sixth District
Agricultural Association close with the Secretary, B. Benja-
min, at 7A North Main street, on Tuesday, April 1st.

Kelly & Samuels expect to take their string as far I" .st as
St Paul this aeasoD. They expect to take in tte Denver
meetiDg en route.

Dr. K. D. Wise h' s sent Somi Tropic to tbe Corbett Ranch
to r-e bred to Gny Wilkes.

The grand circuit of 1890 begins at Los Angeles. The Di-
rtctois will shortly announce a tempting programme in tbe
expectation of gelling a big entry list from the Northern part
of the State.

In the near future I rfill let the readers of the Bbi

(irrim's Gossip.

We will have a full history of Idaho Patchen in nest
week's Breeder and Sportsman.

George Doherty of Indian "Valley, owner of Victor 2:22,
has purchased the Hednck Ranch, and added it to his In-
dian Valley Stock Farm.

Mrs. B. C. Hjlly and Miss Lena Holly intend making a
visit to the Eastern States before long, and it is within the
possiuilites tbat a European trip may be made as well.

A fine brood mare by Whipple's HambletoDian 725. dam by
Jerseyman {son of Geo. M.Patehen Jr. 31), 2nd dam Whisky
Jane (dam of Sam Purdy 2:20£ is advertised for sale this
week,

The Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association have had ex-
ceedingly fine programmes for their spriDg meeting issued,
which are being distributed to those interested in the sport
of kings.

Among the pacing celebrities the produce of Koy Wilkes,
2:124, and Jenny Lind, 2:17, is the representative of the
fastest pair which have been coupled. The foal is a natu-
ral trotter.

Mr. J. H. Strobridge of Haywards has a fine Antevolo colt
of whom great things are promised. He has been named
Centella, and we wish his owner luck with his well bred
youngster.

A veterinary dentist is advertising himself in the northern
portion of the State by driving a stallion through the streets
of whatever town he may be in, without bridle or lines,
hitched to a care.

Mr. A. B. Rodman, than whom there is no better posted
horseman in Lake County, has been in town during the past
few days. He reports Advocate in splendid condition, and
his brood mares doing well.

George H. Morgan, who has contributed much of interest
and value to the Horseman over the nom de plume of "Dio-
med," has cast his fortunes with the Chicago weekly Horse
Review, and is now its editor.

No person can be a really accomplished driver, who does
not knuw a good deal about the natural disposition of a horse
— why he obeys and when he will be liable to disobey; how
to educate him, and how to take advantage of that edaca-
tion.

Capt. C. M. Bellairs, the efficient Secretary of the St. Louis
Jockey club, writes me that declarations must be made on
April 1st, for the Derby, Oaks and Chas. Green stakes.
Those who have entries and wish to declare should remem-
ber this.

Mrs. WolfBkill has sent the two thoroughbred mares, Heli-
otrope and Edelweiss to Santa Anita Ranch when they will
be brtd to Volante. Two foals by the gallant son of Grinstead,
from two such game mares should prove the very Acme of
breeding.

To Bhow what trotters will bring in open market, when
bred in th9 £a6t, we quote from the New York World, which,
in speaking of the Kellogg sale of March 18th, says: "A score
or more of registered youngsters went for less than §100.
Some were Bold as low as $70."

A match race had been arranged to take place at Phoenix»
A. T. on the 11th of this month, bat one of the parties paid
forfeit. My correspondent Buys that the match was for $500
a side between J. L. Wards "Smokey" and the Casa Grande
Snva mare, trotting, three in five, but that the CaBa Grande
people paid forfeit.

M. Sanders, now located at Fleetwood Park New York ex-
presses great confidence of doing well iu his new home. He
nays Guy 2:10£ is one of the very greatest horses in training
and that he has offered Mr. Gordon to take his horse for
ninety days and free from expense, providing he does not
succeed in driving him in 2:08^ or better.

The fast trotting gelding Thapsin2:21£, was shot on March
5th, at the Bay District Track. Ever since his last race on
November 9th, 1889, the poor horse has been suffering, and
E. H. Miller Jr, his owner, ordered him to be destroyed.
AH of the veterinanes who had examined Thapsin, pronoun-
ced him past aid, and his destruction was simply an act
of mercy.

The Rohnerville Herald says: "Our friend Heity Fogo-
boom has two colts that are wonderful performers for their
age. One is Wby Not, and the other is Remember Me. Both
were sire! by Waldstein. One day last week Heity was ex-
ercising them on the track, and we are told by parties who
saw them trot that they made wonderful fast time in a quarter-
mile spurt. We might tell the time those little ones went
that quarter in, bat oar readers would not believe us."

It may easily be determined whether advertising in the
Breeder and Sportsman pays, by asking any one who uses
the columns for stallion announcements. From all quarters
we hear the glad tidings that books are filling rapidly, and
never before have firmers paid so much attention to the im-
provement of their sto.-k. It cannot be presumed that poorly
bred horses will receive the same amount of mares that are Bent
to the better bred one?, but those who bring their horses
prominently before the publie, are all doing good business.

The Moor blood seems to rale the trotting horse market at
the present time, and mares or BtallionB by that now cele-
brated horse, or his progeny, command the top prices. Col.
Harry I. Thornton, recognizing the waotta of the public, has
purchased the magnificent stallion Grand Moor 2374, by The
Moor 870. dam Vashti by Mambrino Patcben 58; 2d dam Kate
Taber by Mambrino Messenger (son of Mambriuo Paymaster) ;
3d dam a mare of Messenger decent. Next week Rancho
Resaca will have an advertisement announcing where the
horse will stand for the season of 1890.

Victor, 2:22; the name is hardly ever mentioned, but what
one reverts to the summer of 1838, when "Hayseed" swept
down on the trotters and m-ule a olean-np that astonished
the talent. To this day there U no telling what Victor can
do in the way of speed, bnt there is one thing sure, he "trains
on." Mr. Doherty, hi-i owner, ha-? decided to stand him this
year at Santa Rosa, and there is no question but what he will
receive plenty of patronage. Victor is by Echo, dam by
Woodburn; 2d dam by Ashland. The advertisement in
another column gives all necessary particulars.

During our fall meeting six pacers secured records from
2:13 to 2:19J. Can any other track equal this showing? Ter-
ra Haute Express.

That is right, Mr. Express; show what can be done in six
days on your track; bat just compare the time made on the
San Francisco track, Saturday, Nov. 16th, 1890, with what
has been done on any other track in the world for any one
day. Snnol, 3 years old, 2:10$; Palo Alto, 2:12i; Staruboul,
2-.13J; Regal Wilkes, two year old stallion, 2:20$, and Faus-
tino, yearling 6tallion, 2:35, and, remember, all trotters at
that.

The owners of Axtell have publicly refused to allow, says
the Cleveland Pain-Dealer, the great stallion to enter in a
race with Mr. Robert Bonner's Sunol for the purse of $10,000
which has been offered. Another race can be made for Su-
nol which would be fully as interesting Bhould it take place.
Henry Sanders, trainer of Mr. W. J. Gordon's horses, said
last evening that if it could be arranged, Mr. Gordon's great
trotter Guy would go into a race with Sunol for a purse.

Such a race would be of national importance and interest,
and efforts will without doubt be made to -bring Sunol and
Guy together.

Of coarse it will please all our readers to learn that Major
Du Bois of Denver, arrived home safe and Bound with his
car load of trotters. A correspondent writes to say that the
Major is delighted with his treatment on the Pacific Coast,
and that he will probably return to bny a breeding farm in
California. While here he made several entries in the Breed-
er and Sportsman Futurity Stake, and we learn that one of
the matrons whose produce was named, has had a foal and
the owners confidently predict that they have the winner
The mare alluded to is Mandilene by Magnet, and her foal
is by Superior.

Two weeks ago I requested that all persons having stallion
cards, whether for the present seaBon or for years gone by,
should send them to this office, but I did not give my reasons
for wishing them. We are trying to secure a list of all the
horses that have ever stood in California, as many of the
pedigrees are very fanlty, simply because no one has ever
been willing to spare the time to collect the necessary evi-
dence. It can readily be seen that old stallion cards and
catalogues of sales, will assist us materially in our efforts, Bnd
we trast that readers of the Breeder and Sportsman will
render whatever assistance they can. Remember this is for
the benefit of every breeder in the State, and pedigrees of all
horseB, both trotters and thoroughbreds, are required.

One of the cuteBt horsemen in California is John Mackey,
superintendent of the Rancho Del Paso, and he rarely allows
himself to be outdone by others. While back East lately
with th- Haggin consignment he cast his eyes around and
finally selected another trotting stallion to grace the realms
of the great stock owner, his choice being George H. Lowe, a
son of Florida 482, dam Mary Hunter by Guy Wilkes (sire
of Whipple's Hambletonian); 2nd dam by Friday, a son of
imp. Trustee. George H. Lowe is a producer of speed, being
the sire of Eva 2:23^, etc., and also of Lowell Chief, the sire
of Morris H. 2:22^, so that it can be seen that his stock
breeds on. Mr, Mackey is entitled to congratulations for hiB
happy selection.

A well-known minister in this country, says the Lexington
correspondent of the N. Y. Spirit, and an owner and breeder
of some excellent trotting Btook. being desirous of giving to
otherB the benefits of hiB experience, stated to a number of
breeders recently, that a night or so previously he bad found
a fine filly Buffering terribly from colic. As be had no tried
remedy at hand, he gave her a tablespoonful of kerosene, and
in ten minutes she was entirely relieved. Judge Johnson,
who was present, said tbat the night before oue of his colts
was suffering the direst agony from the same complaint, he
gave the colt nothing, and in five minutes the colt was free
from pain, and apparently as well as ever. Difference in
favor of letting nature alone, five minutes.

Andy McDowell returned last Monday from his Eastern
trip and reports Mr. Salisbury as well satisfied with the New
York Bale. Andy had rive days of sickness, in the "Big
City", but claims that the Californians stuck to him like
leeches and would not let him die. "There is but one Rose,
and that is L. J." says the Pleasanton driver, "he knows ev-
ery horseman in the country, and every one is his friend.
How the buyers did bid on his stock! it was one of the most
marvelous thines I ever saw." In answer to the question,
"will you win the bet you have made with ValensiD," Andy
answered with an emphatic "yes, I can beat any stallion,
with possibly one exception, that draws breath, and I will
make a mark for Direct this year that will put the young
horse at the top of the heap."

"An auction sale of horses these days is different from
what it was hfteen years ago," remarked Peter C. Kellogg the
other day. Then no confidence existed in auction sales of
horses. Buyers thought that unless a horse was too worth-
less to 6ell privately he was never sold at auction. That view
is all changed now. If conducted in conformity with rules
and regulations that secure and sustain the confidence of
buyers they soon come to be respected. Most buyers who
can afford it are willing to pay pretty well up toward the mar-
ket price of a horse. If he sees others willing to pay more
than the limit he first held in mind, he will often go on with
the feeling that if another man can afford to pay more he
can. In this way buyers often 'mark up' their bidding limits
to conform to the evident market. But just let a bidder mis-
trust that the owner is gettiog in opposing bids and you will
see him quit bidding on an animal at far below the mark he
intended to go."

As is well known, the Santa Rosa track has been in the
market for some time, the gentleman who owned the con-
trolling interest wishing to dispose of the property. The
Pierce Brothers of Oakland have purchased the land and all
the appointments, giving them a training place to go on with
at ouce. It is the intention to put the track in first-class order
and make it second to none in the State. Trainers who wish
to use the track will be allowed to do bo, and a oharge will be
made for the use thereof, but only enough to keep the traok
always in the best of shape. The new owners have also pur-
chased from U. J. McCarty the stallion Bay Rose 2:20A, by
Sultan 2-24, dam Madam Bildwin by The Moor. The "price
paid was $15,000. They have bought in addition from Mr.
McCarty ten head of trotters, all mares, which he brought
out from the E*st with him. These are the mares which it
was reported last week be had Bold to L. A.Richards of
Grayson. The Pierce Brothers have been interested for years
in horses, but they will now branch out and go into the busi-
ness io a thoroughly systematic manuer.

Mr. A. J. Ross of Spokane Falls, has purchased from Char-
les Havens E^q., of San Francisco the black gelding Racquet
2:20*. the price paid beiag SI. 500. Mr. Ross has secured a
good campaigner and should be able to win him out in the
northern circuit.

Harry Agnew keeps bnyiDg brood mares when they are of
the right sort and has purchased Bince our last issue the fol-
lowing:

Nettie Nutwood, bred and raise i by John Barry, of San
Jose, Cal., nine years old, sired by Nutwood, 1st dam by
Ethan Allen Jr. (Vicks), 2nd dam by Williamson's Belmont,
3rd dam by b. t. b Bertrand mare. In foal to An tin on a, a

som by Billy Blossom. 1st, 2nd and 3rd dams raised by Hi-
ram Kinney now employed at Rancho del Paso. Laska is
in foal to Boodle.

When the Salisbury stock car arrived at Sacramento last
Saturday, three head were taken off, they being the property
of J. B. Haggle. Those which continued on to Pleasanton
were four mares owned by Mr. Salisbury, two of which will
be relegated to the Matrons division. They are both by Echo
462, and were purchased at the Haggin sale along with a
yearling filly by Albert W. The fourth one is a chestnut
mare, with a rattling turn of speed that will be seen on the
circuit this year. ThecaralBo contained four head, bought
by Mr. Hugh Kirkendall, oi Montana, who forwarded them
on to his trainer, Mr. Lafferty, who is at present domiciled
at Pleasanton. One of the Kirkendall lot ie Erect, a fall
brother to I irect 2:1S}, that was purchased at the Salisbury
sale for S5.000. Another is the black Director filly, Miss J.
I. C, dam by Blue Bull, who is very promising. The third
one is a Director filly, dam Roxana by Gibralter 2:22£. The
other is a filly by Monroe Chief, dam by Carr's Mam-
brino. Still another that was on the car was the royally bred
Mati on Nava by Dictator, dam Belle Brasfield 2:20, which
was purchased at the Rose sale for Mr. W. S. Hobart, of this
city. The last one of the car load was the mare bought by
Mr. Valensin,

Notwithstanding we sent on to one of our Eastern corre-
spondents for an account of the sales at Peoria, as yet we
have failed to get a list of prices for which the Shippee con-
signment was sold for at that point; however, from Chicago
the news comeB that the Stockton horses were sold as fol-
lows:

The regular quarterly nitenug oi the California State Vet-
erinary Medical Association was held in the Baldwin Hotel
on the evening of March 26th.

President Maclay of Petaloma occupied the chair, and the
following members of the profession were present: Drs. Or-
vis, of Stockton; Spencer, of Sun Jose; Wadams, of Santa
Clara; Egan, Masoero, JoneB, Nief, Browns and Woodruff
of San Francisco.

Mr. Hume Spencer of San Jose, student of the Chicago
Veterinary College and Dr. Alex RaDkin assistant to Dr. Mo-
Collum, Sacramento were among the visitors.

Letters of regret, at being unable to attend, were read
from Dr. McCollnm of Sacramento and several of the South-;
ern members.

Alter the minuteB had been read and approved the mem-
bers present gave the benefit of their experience in interes-
ting cases that had come under their observations during the
last quarter. Dr. Maclay made a strong appeal to the mem-
bers regarding the necessity of preparing a proper bill to
present before the next legislature, regulating the veterinary
practice, and for the benefit of the members who were un-
able to attend the quarterly meeting held at Los Angeles,
tuld what had been done there, and the happy manner ii
which the members living in the southern portion of
state had entertained the visitors. At the next meeting
Maclay will deliver an essay on Bog Spavin, and Dr. Joi
will read an article on Tetanus, — Lockjaw.

One of the most unkind and uncalled for paragraphs that!
was ever penned, appears in last week's Mirror and Farmer.'
The clipping is as fullnws:

There has been considerable talk about the J.^OOO wagei
between L. J. Rose and W. H. Crawford dependent on Stam
boul'a gettiDg a record of 2:12 or better, which Mr. Rose lost
by a scant quarter of a second. Hickok and Crawford hav*j
been fast friends for years, and the gosBips do not hesitate to
say that the famous CtiHfomia reinsman would not drive on
Crawford's money. One critic remarks: "You will remembei
tbat Stamboul did not show any sp?ed till l*te in the season
and Hickok worked him in heavy shoes all the time. Then
he turned him over to another trainer, who put on lightei
shoes, and he soon went a mile in about 2:15. Less than I
week after this was announced Crawford was registered at tbt
Palace Hotel, San Francisco, and he remaioed out there foi
some time. To my mind that is conclusive evidence thai
Hickok did not try very hard to win Mr. Rose's money." An
other wiseacre claims that Crawford got the bet deolared off
and then Hickok sent Stamboul to his limit.

Orrin A. Hickok has been called the "Tallyrand of thi
Tarf," on account of his great diplomacy, and he is jostlj |
entitled to the pseudonym, bat the fifteen hundred persont
who saw him drive Stamboul at Napa, will each and every
one testify that man never drove before as did Orrin on tha
day. I was the clerk of the coarse, and occupied a poaitioi
in the judges' staud from whence every foot of the jonrne:
was carefully noted, and the asseniou is unqualifiedly mad'
tbat Hiukok : never drove such a heat in his life nor trie<
harder to win. When he came no to be weighed it was al
he could do to Btand, the exertion and exoitement havlni
completely unnerved him for the moment, and his remark)
made before the judges would convince the most skeptics
that Hickok drove to make Crawford lose his bet.

The Pacer.

The wonderful speed of the pacer and the readiness with
which he can be developad, his smooth, Motionless way of
coing that euables him to repeat mile after mile within the
fractional part of a Becond of his best time, has at laBt won
the respect and challenged the admiration of the turf-loving
people of America, and the question naturally arises, will he
be given an equal showing and an equal division of purse
money with the trotter?

There is and always has been — less now than ever before —
a strong prejudice against pacers for turf purposes. The
gait, it is claimed, is not fashionable; but divest this feeling
of fashion and there is not a single reason left — if this can be
called a reason — why the pacer should not take precedence
of the trotter in every respect.

Speed is the great attraction that draws the crowd to a
race oourBe, and there is no longer any doubt but that the
pace is a much faster gait lhan a trot. In this respect, then,
the pacer is unquestionable the superior of the trotter. It is
equally true that a pacing sire will transmit his gait to his
offspring witli much greater uniformity than a trotting stal-
lion. To those who have an opportunity of observing this
strong prepotency in the pacer, a statement like the above
may sound unreasonable; but whenever the two strams of
blood have been placed side by side in breeding, it has as a
rule proved true. Bat just at this time, when trotting is so
fashionable, the strongest claim the pacer has upon lovers of
the trotting horse is the value of bis blood in producing the
trotter. I have yet to hear of a single instance where the
blood of a trotter added anything to the speed of a pacer
Westmont is not a pacing-bred horse, but it requires the
plebeian blood of the side-wheeler to be united with the aris-
tocratic blood of the trotter to produce a Maud S. or a Jay-
Eye See.

Were I to summarize, I would say the pace was faster
than, the trot because it ha* been proved on the turf that it is
an busier gait than a trot, because three of the fastest heats
in a race in harness were made at pacing; that pacing blood

is most valoable to produce speed in harness because it in-
creases the speed of the trot, but gains nothing from it; that
this gait is transmitted with more certainty and greater force
than the trot; as witnessed by the great number of brilliant
pacing performers, as compared with the number of trotters
on the turf, that have come from unknown and obscure ori-
gin.

The question of fashion wft decided by circumstances, ex-
cept snch part as we ape from our English cousins. It is
claimed that the American trotter is purely a Yai/kee inven-
tion, and considering our best clasB of trotters he is; but after
all we borrow the original idea from England, for horseB were
trotted against time and for money there long before Messen-
ger ever came across the water. On the other hand, pacers
are strictly and purely American, and it is safe to say there
is not a horse in all Europe to-day that can pace a mile in
4:00, unless he was bred in imerica, or by an American bred
horse. As thiB country became more thickly Bettled better
roads were made, and the saddle was gradnally abandoned
for baggies and carriages. The trot was substituted for the
pace, and has been assiduously cultivated ever since. Trot-
ting races had their origin in these older sections of the
country; hence the trot is fashionable there. More than a
century has passed since then, and the marvels of time of
2:08| has been marked as the speed attained by the American
trotter, and yet the despised pacer has beat it by two and a
half seconds.

We are, as a people, quick to appreoiate merit in anything,
and now that our pacers have shown such speed, we may
confidently expect a fair division of the spoils, as well as the
honors f th« trotting and pacing turf. Liberal purses were
given at he principal trotting associations in the country the
past season for pacerB, aud the disposition and indications
are that they will gradually increase until we have aB many
classes for pacers as we now have for trotters. Especially in
the South and West, when this is the case and more atten-
tion is given to breeding the pacer, you may look for some
side- wheeler to cross the score in less than 2:00, and what
State is more apt to produce him than Tennessee? — K. A. in
Spirit of Farm.

Advertiser's Notes.

Mr. French calls the attention of borpemen this week to
his tine joong Btallion Arlington, by AbbotBford, dam the
Gillespie mare, by Blue Bull. The terms of service are only
$50, and he should receive plenty of mares at th.it figure.

There are many of the California horsemen who will visit
Carson City next mouth to attend the great combination sale
which begins there April loth. The stock is all of the best,
and many of the animals are in training, so that they will be
seen in the height of condition. Old "Gib," the hero of many
battles, will pass under the hammer, and for him competition
will be keen.

Mr. E. 8. Culver, Secretary of the Blood Horse Association,
has some choice fillies and a colt for sale that should tempt
those who are looking for high class trotting stock. A son of
Gay Wilkes is rarely offered for sale, and Mr. Culver should
receive many answers to the advertisement which appears
elsewhere.

Anteeo Button, as the name indicates, is a grand combina-
tion of two of California's blood lines, and Bhould prove a
drawing card to his owner. Terms, etc, will be found else-
where.

There Are More Ways Than One to Kill a Cat.

The great success attained by breeders of trotting
horses, and the enormous prices paid for fashionable
strains of blood, is mainly due to the vigorous efforts put
forward by the two asBOciaticns that have looted so
faithfully afrer the best interests of the sport for several
years back, and to the "National," and "American" all
credit is due. When the $10,000 National Stallion race,
gotten up by and held under the auspices of Wesley P.
Balch of Boston, was trotted last September, a hue and
cry was immediately raised that the best horse had not
won. A correspondent of the Breeder and Sportsman
who was present informed our readers about the ugly ru-
mors that were in circulation, and bis Btory was substan-
tially corroborated by the turf journalists of the country #
The matter got to be such an open secret that evidently
the man who claims to be the owner of Alcryon did not
hesitate to talk about the disgraceful affair, as he had a
conversation with G. W. Archer, Esq., (the presiding
Judge in the stand, on the day of the race), and the fol-
lowing affidavit haB been prepared and entered as evi-
dence in the Superior Court of Erie County, State of
New York, in the case of Charles H. Nelson vs. The
National Trotting Association:

George W. Archer, being duly sworn, deposes and says
that he resides in the city of Rochester, N. Y., and is Presi-
dent of the Rochester Driving Park, and is, and during all
the time hereinafter mentioned, was a member of the Board
of Review and Board of Appeals of this defendant That he
was the presiding judge of what was called the Balch $10 000
stallion race trotted at Beacon Park on the 22nd day of Sep-
tember, 1889, in which the horses Alcryon and Nelson com
peted. That during the trotting of said race deponent and
the other judges thereof, thinking that the horse Alcryon was
not being driven to win the race, called the driver, Mr Rob-
ens, into the judges' Btand and ordered him to drive said
horse to win or a penalty would be imposed upon him. The
next heat was the third and last; said horse Alcryon did not
win the same, and the race was won by the horse Nelson.

That on or about October 4th, 1S89, after said race, depo-
nent met Frank L. Noble at the Murray Hill Hotel in New
York City; said Noble is one of the plaintiffs in this action,
and as deponent understands, had the control and manage-
ment of the horse Alcryon during the season of 1889 and at
said race. That deponent Btated to Noble that it waB fortn
nate for him that Alcryon threw his toe weights in the last
heat; that Noble replied, "That made no difference; that he
had had the horse shod a few days before so that no driver
could drive him to win the race, and that if they had taken
off Robens the horse would have lost jast the same." Noble
further stated "that before the race began he had agreed to
lee Nelson win the race, and had Nelson's check for $5,000
before the race started: that he (Noble) had won second mon-
ey, and had got $7,500 out of the race."

That deponent replied to him, "Don't you think you are
taking pretty desperate chanceB?" and Noble said, ".1 don't
know; what could you have done about it if you had discov-
ered the fraud at the time ?" Deponent replied tbat if tbey
bad known of the fraud at the time the judges would have
declared the pools and the race off*.

That as deponent understands and believes, large numbers
of pools were sold and large amounts of money staked by the
public on the horse Alcryon winniDg the race; that on the
llth day of November, 1889, he reported the said facts to the
National Trotting Association, and upon such reports, as he
understands, the charge of fraud was made against the plain-
tiffs; tbat deponent knows from conversation with other men
connected with the turf that said Noble has made the state-
ment to many others, and that many men interested in turf
matters and members of the CongresB, at Buffalo, believe
that said Noble is unworthy of privileges on the association
courses. Deponent further says that the public standiog of
the National Trotting Association and of its associated
courses would, in his opinion, be degraded it men who pub-
licly acknowledge their own participation in a fraud were per-
mitted to take any part in the public exhibitions on the as-
sociated courses. Geo. W. Archer.

Now the standing of Mr. Archer is such that every
horseman in the United States will believe what he here
states in his affidavit, but the thieves and blacklegs who
follow the racing circuits of the country, will denominate
him "an old crank" for meddling with something that
does not concern him. Mr. Archer is to be commended
for calling the attention of the "National" to the lan-
guage of Noble, and it is to be sincerely hoped that an
example will be made of every one concerned in the
dirty business. As 18 well known, an injunction was
served on the Board of Review, preventing them from
investigating the charges of fraud, and the officers of the
association have been called upon to show cause why
they should not be punished for passing a resolution
suspending Nelson, Noble and Robins until such time as
the Board of Review can act on the case. A preliminary
hearing of the case has been heard, and twenty days
given attorneys to prepare briefs for the court. Now
if the court should prevent a hearing of the testimony,
it becomes the duty of every member of both associations
to bar defendants and their horses from all races that

may be advertised in future. We mention horses advis-
edly, as if only the men are barred the horses can be
sold, or ostensibly so, and the present owners would
suffer no loss, but if the horses are also put under a ban,
then the defendants suffer a pecuniary loss, inasmuch aa
their animals are only fit for private use and stud pur»
poses.

Then there is another way in which the National
Association may reach at least two of the accused. One
of them was taken out of a sulky at the Lexington meet-
ing, because the judges thought he was pulling Roy
Wilkes, the pacer, and was fined $500 for his style of
driving. Now would it not be a good plan to call up
the case which is now on appeal of L. A. Davis vs. the
Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, and
have Robens testify in whose interests he acted as he
did? Also have Mr. Noble as a witness, and find out
how much money he played in on Roy Wilkes, as his mn\
driver iras up "behind the -pacing stallion. But be sure and
have the pool-sellers also as witnesses, so that the truth
of the matter may be arrived at. Then it may not be
necessary to try the Balch case at all, except in so far as
Nelson is concerned.

The trotting associations of America- cannot afford to
have anything to do with such men on the track, and
the sooner they are eliminated from the sport, the better
it will be for all concerned.

Short Horn Breeders' Association.

At the last annual meeting of the Pacific Coa3t Short
Horn Breeders' Association it was determined to hold an-
nual sales under the auspices of the Board of Directors,
and certain rules were devised for the guidance of the i
officials. Heretofore breeders have had individual sales
some of which were successful, while others did not give [
the satisfaction they might have done, owiDg, no doubt, I
to the apathy of the public to believe that the pedigrees I
as given in the published catalogues were correct. How-
ever, that excuse can no longer deter would be purchas-
ers from attending and bidding at the sales to be con-
ducted by this Association, as the rules laid down are
imperative, and only pedigreed animals will be accepted
for vendue. It behooves every breeder of Short Horns:
to join the Association which has been started, to aid and|
assist them in improving the breed, and by their suppoit(
encourage the officers and members in the good work,
which they have undertaken. The sale will take place si
at the State Fair Grounds, Sacramento. April 3rd,
commencing at one o'clock p. m., and it is only fair tc
assume that purchasers will be present from all over the
State. The rules under which the sale takes place
as follows. —

All members of the Association who desire to offer cal
tie for sale at any public sale held under the auspices o!
the Association shall, at least forty days prior to the
time of such sale, send to the Secretary a complete list o
all such cattle, together with extended pedigree thereof
which pedigree must be made satisfactory to the Boan
of Directors by certificate from the Secretary of tin
National Short Horn Herd Book Association, or other
wise.

All sales shall be properly advertised by the Director
of the Association by the usual means — through cats
logues and newspapers.

The Board of Directors shall employ a competent auc
tioncer, paying him such compensation as shall b
agreed upon by said Directors and auctioneer.

No stock advertised for sale can be withdrawn exoep
by order of consent of Board of Directors, but must b-
sold at the time advertised, unless such sale be postponei
until some future day by order of the Board of Director!

All expenses connected with the advertisement al
conduct of any sale shall be computed and, except
hereinafter mentioned, be divided and charged per on pit
to the cattle connected therewith.

The Association shall chaige and deduct from the prt'
ceeds of all sales not to exceed o per cent, of the gro
receipts as commission, which shall become the funds
the Association, and shall be used for the purpose of p»j
ing the auctioneer; the balance, if any, after paying su<
auctioneer, shall go into the general fund of the Assoc
ation.

In addition to the charges and expenses hereiubefb
provided for, there shall be charged on account of
cattle connected with any sale the sum of one dollar p
head, as incidental fees, which shall become the funds
t.ie Association.

The Directors shall have the management aud contr
of all Bales conducted by the Association.

Any member willfully refusing to obey any oft'
rules governing sales may be fined not to exceeed fif
dollais, or excluded from participating in any present
future sale in the discretion of the Board of Directoi
but only after an opportunity for an explanation
hearing has been afforded the person offending.

The Solano and Napa Stakes-
Oq April 1st entries are due for this wide awake young
association's stakes, and as the fame of the Napa track

large one. As will be seen by reference to the advertise-
ment in the appropriate column, the stakes are of a di-
versified character, with easy payments in all cases. The
first two are for two and three year olds respectively,
entrance free for all, while the next three are for one,
two and three year olds, for colts owned in the district.
And then there are three nomination stakes for the 2:20
horses, the 2:24 class, and for those eligible to the 2;20
class. Fifteen hundred dollars is the amount offered for

The Pacine Standard.

Oar Tennessee correspondent, '-Kennosaw," gives to
our readers this week the full list of rales which were
adopted by the Tennessee Pacing Horse Breeders' Asso -
ciation March 12th, governing the standard of registra-
tion of pacers. They will naturally he the subject of
much comment, as the trotting horse fraternity seem
lothe to recognize the sidewheelers and ownen of pacing
animals have been forced to organize for their own pro-
tection. With but trivial alteration the rules of the Na-
tional Trotting Horse Breeders' Association have been
adopted by the Tennesseeans, taking 2:30 as the basis
for entry into the standard list. We thinK this is a mis-
take, as they should have lowered the time mark to such
t point that in time those who rule the destinies of the
trotting division, might recognize the pacing association
aDd their rules, but from the spirit displayed at the late
meeting of the Directers of the National Breeders' Asso-
ciation, it would seem that they were unwilling at pres-
ent to make even 2:25 the standard. However, a start
has been effected, and we will watch with interest wha<;
revisions they will make at their next annual meeting.

Trouting- Prospects.

A Subscriber.

I have a yearling colt which was cot directly over the ball
of the eye some time ago. I cured the cat through the eye-
lid, which had proud-flesh in it, by the use of carbolic acid.
There is a red substance in the corner of the eye which I
judge is the inflamed and swollen membrane of the eye. It
is possible that it is proud flesh in the eye, but does not look
like it. Can you kindly suggest through the columns of the
Breeder and Sportsman the best method to restore the eye
to its normal condition?

Answer. — In answer *o your inquiry, re,, your colt, I
thiok, jodeing from your description, that the" malady lies
more with the membrana nictitaus than with the membrane
covering the eye-ball. I would suggest the constant applica-
tion of cold water; to do so, make a swab of two pieces of
linen, and between the folds place a thick piece of lint or
cotton wool.

To the red substance, apply twice daily a lotion containing
nitrate of silver, ten grains, two ounces of distilled water. If
no improvement in two week*, send communication to
Breeder and Sportsman, and we will endeavor to assist you
farther.

The trouting season of 1890 bids fair to be one to be
remembered, and it is altogether probable that for two
or three years to come the beneficent effects, from an an-
gler's standpoint, of the unprecedented floods which have
swollen every little brook into a mad torrent, will be felt.
Except for the few bait fishers, there is little encourage-
ment to visit the streams. In all of them the whole con-
tour of the beds has been changed. New pools, and
deep, have been cut. Familiar ripples have disappeared.
Snug resting places for big fish have been turned into
bare gravel beds, and wading is impossible in all of the
brooks from which reports have come. Meantime thou-
sands of small salmon trout are passing up from the salt
]agoons and fattening upon bottom feed and growing in-
to the nice pan fish which will fill mary baskets during
June and July.

When our friend Bither is about to leave us, I could not if
I would, and I would not if I could refrain from saying a few
words.

Mr. Bither has been among us for many years. While I
have not all times agreed with him I have looked the ground
all over and have weighed him iD the scale of mankind, and
on the whole I find him moch above the average of men
who have followed his vocation.

He has been a true and faithful man for his employers.
He would under no consideration deceive or betray them.
Such men are valuable when such trusts, as he has held,
and even larger trusts I assume, are to be placed in his hands.
I do not hesitate to say to the men where he iB to go that
they can rest in all confidence that Mr, Bither will be a faith-

A HALF BROTHER TO

ALM0NT PATCHED,

(9:15, trial *:13 3-4).

JUANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay. black
points, wiih no white, foaled 1886. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almoot Patchen
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling bim is
that business c*lls him away from this section of
the State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

The pedigree of Juanito Jr. is by Joanito (sire of
Almont Patchen), dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom
Moore. For further Darticulars, address

Grandee in a r*ce on the Bay 01 strict Track, the second bout of which was nude in 2:31. 1-2, the first In 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight b train of his fore fet-
lock, there It little question tha* he would have shown in public very close to the best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 l-'J to 34 seconds.

Asa four-year-oid Meinoouly s'arted once-at Sacramento when, although out of condltlon.be showed
great Bpeed. and improving as he went on, gre«t hopes were entertained of Ids going well down in the "teens
at the P. C.T. H. B. A. meeting, but after showing Bever*" very fast miius liita leg filled and up was laid np for
the season. He Is fclxt^cMi hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His col T Is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. Hib disposition 1« all that coula be desired, and his action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mare being report d not in foal during bin last season.

BAY ROSE, 2:20 1-2.
The property of Henry and Ira Pierce, Santa Rosa Stock Farm.

The gallery nf the notable horses of California would not
be compete if a picture of Bay Hose, 2:20£, were omitted from
our columns, and it can be truly said that Mr. Boyd, the artist,
has given our readers an exceedingly good picture of the cel-
ebrated stallion that has changed bands so often within a few
months. The subject of our sketch has been a consistent
performer for several years, the first mentioD that we find of
him being when his initial appearance was made at Fresno in
1884, the other entries being Elite and Lain F. The black

stallion Elite manased to win first money, with Bay Rose a
close second in each heat. The colt was bred by the Hon.
L. J. Kose, but bad been sold to Mr. E. Giddings of Lemoore,
Tulare county, in whose name he trotted for the first two
seasons. In 1S85 he made a second appearance at Fresno on
October 9th, his opponents being Waterford and Legal
Tender. Again he won second money, capturing the third
heat and gaining a record of '2:41 \ .

Before the racing season of 188G began. Bay Kose was pur-
chased by J. X. Ayer of Visalia, who started him five times
that year, the first being at the Bay District track, where he
received third money, his half brother Hidalgo and Gns
Wilkea beating him for higher honors. At Stockton, Mount
Vernon, 2:21. and Adrian, 2:26$, beat him in the district
stallion race; and in the 2:40 class he was also defeated,
Lottie M. proving viotor, but she had to trot one heat in
2:24 to win.

^lue gsmfe awd ^pxrrlsmati.

April 5

■

On December 14th of the same yesr, he met at Visalia
Barbero, Milton R. and Waterford in the stallion stake, and
won the first, fourth and fifth heats, reducing his record to
2:33. On the 17th of the same month he was entered in the
free-for-all race, and again he won, getting the second, fourth
and Btxth heals to his credit, and entered the 2:30 list, win-
ning the laot heat in 2:29, the time of the different heats being
2:29, 2:29|, 2:29, 2:32, 2:37 and 2:29.

The following Beason was a very unfortunate orje for the
son of Sultan, he only starting at the State Fair, but the pre-
vailing epizootic had got such a hold on the stallion, that it
waB deemed expedient to oancel his entries, and therefore he
did not start again until the followiog season.

Fresno was the starting poiDt in the campaign of Bay Rose
in 1S88, he being pitted against his old opponents Barbero
and Waterford, and he was fast enough to win in straight
heats the lime being 2:26J, 2:31 and 2:31. At the same meet-
ing he started in the free for all, and secured second money
from such good ones as, Don Tomas, Hidalgo and Emma
Temple, Valentine proving the winning horse. Bay Rose
won the first heat in 2:24, tut lost the subsequent on?s in
2:23, 2:22 and 2:28. We next find the stallion entered in a
match race at the Bay District Track on October 18th, which
as it required six heats to decide is well worthy of a recap-
itulation. The story of the contest was admirably told in
these columnB at the time of the occurance and is herewith
reprinted.

A match race for a purse of $500 betrfeen Los Angeles
stables's blk. g. Don Tomas and J. N. Ayer's b. b. Bay Roi-e
was the next thing on the card. The first was driven by his
owner, C. A. Darfee. the latter by J. A. Goldsmith. Though
Deither horse is what turfmen call fast the race was very
close, and decidedly interesting. Before the first heat Bay
Rose was the favorite at $40 to $25. They were sent off to
a neck and neck start, Tomas going to the front on the turn.
The bay hung on to his wheel down the backstretch around
the turn, where he collared him and came into the straight
half a length leader. Just tnen Tomas went up, but caught
quickly, and they came down home for a hot finish. Bay
Rose was leading slightly, when he went up for Borne unac-
countable reason, and before he recovered Don Thomas was
under the wire in 2:21.

After this heat the pools were about eveD. They were sent
off with a good start, and Don Tomas, taking the lead, reached
the quarter in 36 seconds, the half in 1:10, and the three-
quarter pule in 1:45. Just at the head of the stretch Bay
Rose, who had been from a half to a full length in the rear,
came up oven, and the horses came into the straight neck
and neck. Bay Robo led a little way, then the black gelding
got a slight advantage. Nearingthe wire Tomas broke, and
Bay Rose also went op, and both horses plunged under the
wire together, making a dead heat in 2:21 After this heat.
Don Tomas was $50 in the pools to $27 on Bay Rose.

The third heat was another hard one. Tomas took ths
lead. At the quarter the bay was at his wheel and stayed
there down the back stretch. At the half Tomas broke and
ran some distance, and Bay Rose led him into the upper
turn. AfteT he got down again Tomas began trotting fast
and caught Bay Rose at the middle of the turn. They went
around to the three quarters neck and neck. Down the
straight there was not a perceptible difference in them, and it
seemed aeif there would be another dead heat, but right at
the post Goldsmith lifted his horse and fairly Bhoved him in,
winning with Don Tomas at the bay's throatlatch. The time
was pretty fast for a third heat of that class— 2:20*.

After this beat Bay Rose was the favorite at §70 to $43 for
Don Tomas. To a good start Bay Rose took the lead at the
first turn and was three lengths in advance at the half. At
the three quarters Don Toraas was doing nicely, and only a
length of daylight was between him and the leader as the
stretch was fairly entered. Don Tomas made a grand trot
coming home, and only those persons Btationed right under
the wire could see that he had lo=t by a nose. Time 2:27*.
Pool selling was brisk before the fifth heat, Bay Rose
bringing $100 to $50.

The fifth heat was the most exciting of them all, and it was
anybody's heat to about half way down the stretch, when
Bay Rose broke and Don Tomas came on and won the heat
easily in 2:23.

On account of darkness the deciding heat was postsoned
until Saturday.

SATURDAY.

The finish of the postponed match race was next called for,
and Bay Rose and Don Tomas promptly appeared.

Don Tomas is a big. rangy gelding by Del Sur. He has a
high, bold action, and although not handsome, being too
lightly built for his height, he has shown well this year and
horsemen think well of him. There iB too mnch daylight
under him and he iB too ragged in finish over the hips to
please the critical observer.

Bay Rose is a dark brown stallion, tan muzzle, and flank
like his sire Sultan. In common with many Sultans, he is
very large— indeed, he is far above the average height of the
Saltans, being 1« 3.- He weighs 1,250 pounds, is well propor-
tioned, beautifully finished. A "bay rose" is something of
which no florist has ever heard, but his beautiful color and
the name of his breeder has furnished the horse with a cog-
nomen which at least has merit of oddity, and merit it sure-
ly is, in these days of multiplying initials and confusing for-
eigD nameB.

On the third score a good start waB given, and at the turn
Don Tomas waB slightly leading. He increased this lead to
over a length as they neared the three-eighths, traveling well
within himself, but when near the half he broke, coming al-
most to a standstill. He ran for half a fnrlorjg. Bay Rose
gaining by the same. On the last turn Ihe pace was faster,
the black still in the lead on the stretch. Bay Rose was go-
ing better, bnt Don Tomas came under the wire an easy win-
ner. Time, 2:22.

On the 28fh of the same month we find Bay Rose pitted
against Lilly Stanley, Don Tomas, Valentine, Franklin,
Mount Vernon and Qua Wilkes, a strong field to combat
againft, bot even with the big odds, the Sultan stallion won
the first heat in the crediiable time of 2:20£. Don Tomas win-
ning the next two in 2:£0 and 2:22J, while the Wbippleton
onder managed to secure the next three in 2:20£, 2:10| and

2:21£. We next find Bay Rose at Sacramento, where he
easily defeated Alio and Junio in 2:24£, 2:25J and 2:25.

This finished up his season for 1S8S which brings us down
to the opening of the circuit last year, wbeu we find the gal.
laut stallion in the hands of Mr. Hickuk, who had prepared
him for the arduous work cf another campaign. Santa Rosa
was the place selected to start the horse, and he met V'ctor,
Don Tomas and Jim L., an array of taltnt that was hard to
down, but he captured the first heat in 2:21, although he had
to succumb later on, as the epizootic had taken a firm hold
of him. At Fetaluma he was again started, bat this time in
addition to a large field of horse3, there wa3 the "whirlwind
of the Coast, " Palo Alto to contend against and to
the credit of Bay Rose be it said he is the only horse that
won a heat from Palo Alto in 1889. The representative of
Senator Stanford won the first, third and fourth heats, Bay
RoBe taking the second in 2:20}. At Oakland he was again
pitted against a large field in the 2.20 class, but Palo Alto
won in straight heats, Bay Rose being well np in each heat,
the last of which was trotted in 2:20. At Sacramento he won
second money in the 2:21 stallion purse, Direct 2:1S£, getting
first. At Stockton Bay Rose was third in each of the heats
for the Pacific Coast Trotting Stallijn Stake, the time of each
heat being 2:16£, 2:17f and 2:13$. At San Jose he won sec-
ond money to Direct, time 2:21 J, 2:2(H and 2:19. Shortly
after the San Jose race Bay Ro3e was sold by J. N. Ayres to
W. W. Ayres of San Francisco, and the next appearance of
the stallion was on November 2nd, when the trotting mati-
nee was given for the benefit of the Speed Drive Fund, but
his long retirement had unfitted him for hard work and he
only secured third place. His last performance for the year
was at the justly celebrated meeting of the Breeder's Associa-
tion at the Bay District track, on November 9th, the occasion
which is now known a? "Record Day" for the California
horses of last year. When the horses were cilled up to score
Junio sold for $120, Thapsio $75 and Bay Rose $25. Thap-
sin won the first heat in 2:21|, but Bay Rose had no trouble
in capturing the next three in 2:2l£, 2:23 and 2:22£.

Bay RoBe was placed in service this year at Oakland by Mr.
Ayres, bnt before there had been a chance to book a large
number of mares to him, the indefatigable Dan McCarty pur-
chased the horse, paying $10,000 for him, but before there
was a chance to ship him to Stanislaus County, where Mr
McCarty proposed sending him, the Pierce Brothers of Oak-
land bought the bay horse, pajing a large increase on what
Dan had paid for him. There is not a horseman in the State
but what feels that the new buyers have made a wonderfully
good purchase, and with the first-class mares now owned by
the Santa Rosa Stock Farm Company, the near future should
produce a crop of foals that will be a credit alike to the com-
pany and to the State.

There is not a driver that has handled Bay Rose for the
past two seasons but what knows perfectly well that his
present mark of 2:20i can be lowered materially, and pro-
vided there be no further sickness to prevent his training on,
a very low re.ord should be gained for him this season. Bay
Rose is by Sultan 2:24, one of the best sonB of The Moor S70,
the horse that laid the foundation stone for all the greatness
attained by the Eon. L J. Rose in the horse world. The
Moor is the sire of Beautiful Bells 2:29i, (dam of Bell Boy,
three-year-old record 2:19£, Hinda Rose, three-vear-old re-
cord, 2:19£. St. Bel 2:24* and Palo Alto Belle, three-year-old
record 2:22i) Del Sur 2:24i, (sire of Don Tomas 2:20 ) Inez
2:30, Sir Guy 2:28£, Sultan 2:24 and Tammy Gates 2:24.

Saltan 1513 by The Moor has an even twenty in 'the list,"
three new ones having been added this year. They are as
follows: Stamboul 2:12}, Alcazar 2:20*. Bay Robo, 2:204, Big
Frank 2:30, Center 2:29J, Contiaotor 2:24$. Dubeo2:28, Eva
2:23£ Hidalgo 2:27, Kismet 2:251.. La Grange 2:23*, Mar-
garet 2:28 (dam of Rtgal Wilkes, two-year-old record 2:20£),
Rajah 2:29*. Ruby 2:19|, Soudan 2:27J, Sweetheart 2:22J,
Sunny Slope 2:29}, Melrose 2:27, Lucy R. 2:30 and San Gab-
riel 2:27f. Every one of the Bons of Snltan that have colts
old enough to trot, shows that the great speed produc'ng
power of "The Moor" goes on in the family from generation
to generation, and it requires no spirit of prophecy to fore-
tell that Bay Rose will be equally successful with his other
half brothers. A full brother of Bay Rose, Pasha 2039, had
only one representative on the track this year, as far as mem-
ory serves us, and that was Moro that got a record of 2:27 at
San Jose.

The dam of Bay Rose is Ma'am Baldwin, a mare highly
valued by Mr. Rose, she having prodoced, not only the sub-
ject of our sketch, but Pasha 2:36, lately owned by S.N.
Straube, of Fresno, who has a number of foals by that horse
that are ready to knock for admission to the 2:30 list. Mad-
am Baldwin was by The Moor, her dam being by
Ben Lippencott a son of Belmont (Williamson's) who
although a thoroughbred, was sire of Venture 2:27£,
and sire of the dams of Belle Echo 2:20, Flora Shep-
purd 2:30, Monarch 2:28}, Nelly Patchen 2:27} and Prince
2:23£, showing that "Old" Belmont was able to impart
his trotting instinct to his children and grandchildren.

The large prices paid by Eastern buyers for two of Mr.
Rose's stock, Alcazar, $25,800, and Voodoo, $24,100, show in
what appreciation the blood of The Moor is held by those who
make breeding a study, and Messrs. Henry and Ira Pierce can
be congratulated that they have added such a fast and game
son of Sultan to their new stock farm. As is well known,
they have lately purchased the Santa Rosa Race Track, and
hereafter it will be called the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, and we
can confidently predict that Bay Rose will prove equally as
successful in the stud as be has been on the track.

Our Southern California Letter.
I notice that Protection is greatly fancied for the Kentucky
Derby. I have it from the best of authority that the junior
champion winner will not Bport silk in that race. This will
be a piece of news for the Eastern turf paperB. My infor-
mant is none other than the lucky owner of the son of Prince
Charley. In a conversation with your correspondent, Bob
Campbell stated that Protection would be reserved for some
of the big three-year-old events later in the season.

L. J. Robo was in an especially good humor when the
Breeder and Sportsman representative called at his mansion
the other evening. The owner of Rosemea^eis a good reader,
and the accnmulation of turf literatare on hia table while
absent from the city a week or two, reminds one of a news-
paper office. "They've got a sensational two-year-old &t
Santa Anita," opened up the newspaper man. "I have got
two or three good ones myself," replied the former owner of
Stamboul, ; and I will back one of mine against anything in
the State."

Do I think that Rico will win the Brooklyn Handicap?
The race has never been won by a three-year-old, was the
evasive answer, but Rico is a great horse, and he will be in
the bunt.

Mr. Ro-e is more than satisfied with his Palo Alto pur-
chases. The horses are showing op splendidly in their work
and it will be surprising if he does not captore some of the
big Eastern stakes, especially for two-year-olds. The follow-
ing is a list of the yearlings at Palo Alto recently purchaBei
by Mr. Rose:
B c by Argyle — imported Amelia by Salvator.
B c by Wildidle— imported Amelia by Lowland.
B o by Flood — imported Cornelia by Lionomy.
Br c by Wildidle — impor ed Flirt by Hormit.
B o by Argyle — JeDnie C by Norfolk.
Br c by Argyle — imported Patilla by Pero Gomtz.
B c by Argyle — imported Rosetta by Strauan.
Br f by Flood imported Mutiny by Adventurer
B f by Flood — imported Goula by Esminster.
Governor Stanford refnBed to sell any fillieB, consequently
Mr. Roi-e was only able to secure the racing qualities of the
two fillies given on the above lift.

It took $5000 to Btcure the Wildidle— Flirt colt, but the
youngster will be worth every dollar paid for him if he takes
aftpr his brother Flambeau.

The youngster whose dam is Cornelia should be hot prop,
erty if brteding is any criterion. Cornelia is by Isonomy,
and was purchased in England at a cost of three thousand
dollars.

The impression prevails that Captain Merry has been in-
structed to purchase ten broodmares for L. J.RoBein Aus-
tralia This is partially incorrect. Captain Merry has been
given a good round sum of money and has carte blanche to
use his own judgment in expending the amount for brood-
mares and fillies. I am not at liberty to state the sum Cap-
tain Merry took to the Antipodes, but it should be enough to
buy at least a couple of dozen broodmares and fillies,

I received word too late for mv IaBt letter of the death at
Santa Anita, of the brood mare Freda. Freda will be remem-
bered by old time race goers. She was quite ppeedy in her
day and is credited with several good performances, a notable
one being her two-mile race at the Bay Distriot, when us a
three year-old she packed 116 pounds in 3:32*. She was by
Wild Idle out of Frolic.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

Jne Narvice will in all probability go East with the Rose
stable.

W. J. RobiDsonis highly pleased with Al West, his new
trainer and driver. There are two new comers at Edgemont.
A Stamboul oolt out of Jes-ie Ballard 2;25 and a Red Wilkes
colt out of Lady Coats by Dictator. Two well bred young-
sters, to Bay the le*st.

Charlev Durfea will make the circuit this year with Gossi-
per, McKinney and a green pacer.

Jack Felton has a string of trotters in training at Santa
Ana, including the game gelding Danger 2;26j. He expects
to take in the grand circuit this year.

Sam Caton, who has been wintering here with a string of
trotters, expects to leave on Saturday for the East.

Cy Mulfcey will be represented at the Blood Borse Meeting
with Tcm Daly and Siofax The latter colt Cy has been
leased from L. J. Rose to take through the Montana Circuit.

The Rose string will probably leave here on Monday for
San Francisco.

Mr. Reed has purchased from W. K. Robinson, Othello,
tbe Sultan stallion. The dam of Othello is Atlanta, a full sis-
ter of Beantiful Bells. Mr. Reed will in all probability, take
Othello to Ohio, where he will make the season.

The Horse Interest of Inyo Co.

Up to three years ago, there was very little interest taken
in the horse business here except by a few, among whom
were Henry Giles, who had a horse by Budd Doble, Mike
Muldoon who brought a roadster by Bismarck from
Kern Co., and William Rowao, of Bishop, who brought sev-
eral Normans from M. W. Dnuhan, 111. He also brought two
Cleveland Bays into the valley a year ago. Three years ago,
W. S. Enos Independence brought in the standard bred
horse Albenton 4023, nljo a few well bred mares in foal by
such horses as Fallis 4731, Sterling 6223 and Prompter 2345.
The next horse brought was by B trna Peeler of Bishop, and
was the thoroughbred horse Bronco by Jo Hooker. Last fall
Holbert & Smith brought Pickpocket by Joe Daniels and An-
tare by Anteros, he by Electioneer 125. This winter, tbe
Conklin Brop. pnrchased another good one from Mr. Kaxe.
It was Mount Vernon Prince by Mount Vernon, dam Libby
B. by Wintbrop, 2od dam Fanny Fern by Jack Hawkins.

R. C Spear-', ofL/.ne Pine, hj.c just purchased a fine young
roadster Flash by Prompter 23t'5; 1st dam Lady Nelson by
John Nelson, he by imp Trustee, 2nd dam Oregon Nell. This
young stallion was raised in Inyo county, by Euob & Mo-
Sweeny.

The cattle bosinesB haB always been the principal stock in-
dustry of this eeotion, but now that so great an interest is
being taken in the raising of good horses, I predict that In*
yo horses in a few years will become Doted for their endur-
ance as road and farm stock. Inyo.

Parties having mares that are barren or irregular breeders

Fresno Races-

THURSDAY.

There was a considerable improvement in the attendance
at the race track on the third day. Three races were on the
programme, the first of which was conceded a good thing for
Pliny and he justified the confidence reposed in him by win-
ning readily in 2:08|. The second race, a five furlong repeat,
was expected to be a certainty for Kitty Van, who sold for
$20 to the field $8 in a few pools, after which she was barred
and Painkiller brought $20, to the field $13.

The tactics used in the race combined with bad luckat the
start beat the mare. Painkiller and Adam had two lengths
the best of the Btart in the first heat and the mare had to go
round both. A singular accident occurred to two of the
horses. The Abbott colt fell and Revolver fell over him,
both riders beiDg on the ground together. Luckily neither
was seriously injured, though Davis, who rode Revolver,
had hiB foot and neck badly braised.

In the second heat, exactly the same tactics were pursued,
the result beiDg that Kitty Van stopped at the finish a little
and was beaten cleverly by Painkiller, who won the decid-
ing heat easily, the mare being pumped out.

In the last race of the day, a quarter mile dash, Hazlittrode
Sunday, who did not seem to make a great effort to get away,
and was easily beaten by Cyclone,

First Heat— Kitty Van sold for$20 to the field $8. WithKit-

was soon effected. Painkiller and Adam having two lengths
the best of it set the race at a merry rate round the turn.
When in the straight Kitty Van came very fast, and passing
both, won the heat cleverly by half a length from Painkiller
with Adam third and Mirope fourth. The Abbott colt and
Revolver both fell on the upper turn, but the judges did not
distance them and Abbott started in the next heat. Time,

Second Heat—A. little betting was done at $20 for Kitty
Van to $5 for the field. After a few breakaways Adam and
Painkiller again were a couple of lengths in front of Kitty
Van, and though Kitty Van came fast in the stretch, she
never caught Painkiller, who won easily by a length and a
half in 1:02*.

Third Heat — Painkiller was a strong favorite at §20 to $7
for Kitty Van. Both got away well Painkiller, running easy,
was half a length in front all the way. winning readily by
that distance from tbe mare, who tired badly.

Cjclone sold a big favorite at $20 to §5 for Sunday and $3
for the field. The flag was soon dropped, and Cyclone going
right out, had a two lengths lead of Gypsy Girl, with Sunday
well in the rear. Cyclone won easily by two lengths from
Gypsy Girl, who just beat Sunday for the place, Hazlitt, on
the latter, riding hard the last hundred yards. Time. 0:23£.

FRIDAY.

The chance of witnessing a good race between Daisy D.
and McGinnis brought a better attendance to the track, and
the public were certainly satisfied with the grand race given
them, and the phenomenal time made, 2:07£, is an excep-
tionally fast race for the time of year, and the winner, Mc-
Ginnis had a little in reserve.

The first race, a three furlong repeat, was won readily by
Sunday. The last race of the day, a handicap for beaten
horses", was a mixed up affair. Jubilee, the favorite, won
pretty' handily, but Brown, who rode Revolver, and Hen-
nessy, Clauderoy's pilot, both said they were fooled, and the
judges, being of the opinion that all the riders had ridden
foully except Ward, ordered the race to be run over again,
when Mirnpe, after running slowly for the first quarter, went
round the other trio, and won handily by a length from
Jubilee.

Sunday and Birnie a shade in front, but the filly dropped
back, and Sunday stayed in front all the way, winning by
three quarters of a length from Cyclone. Time, 0:35;.

The betting settled down $20 for McGinnis and $8 for the
field. $100 to $60 was several times bet on the track that
McGinnis would win. "When the nag fell Daisy cut out the
work at a lively rate, and Ward being instructed to mate the
pace on McGinnis, had to squeeze the bay horse to keep
up with her down the stretch. Passing the stand Daisy had
her head pulled round and was leading the horse half a
length, but rounding the turn he closed up, at the quarter was
about level, and both straightening out ran together to the
half, when the horse began to show his head in front and
gradually wearing Daisy down passed the starting post half a
length in front, the mile being run in 1:4H. McGinnis drew
away down the stretch and won handily by an open length.
Pilot never was in the hunt. Time 2:07|.

Also ran Cianderoy.

Jubilee was such a hot favorite that only $9 could be ob-

rope bringing §20, Cianderoy $13, and Revolver $3.

When the flag fell Cianderoy jumped off in front and had
a two lengths lead of Revolver and Jubilee, at the half pole.
Jubilee then dosed up the gap and passing Oauderoy on the
turn won pretty easily by two open lengths while Mirope
was last, half a length back. Time, 1.15|.

After a good deal of arguing among the jockeys all of whom
claimed fouls on each ottier except Mirope's rider, the race
was ordered to be run again and the horses went to tbe post
again after an interval of about half an hour, A start was
soon effected Cianderoy and Revolver breaking away well
led Mirope and Jubilee two lengths up the backstretch, and
round the turn when Mirope moved up and passed the leaders,
closely followed by Jubilee whom she beat out, a good length
in exactly the same time as tbe first heat 1:15$.

SATURDAY.

As no one was in a hurry to leave, the Directors gave an
extra day on Saturday, and though the horses were not quite
first class the betting was as good as, if not better, than
any of the previous days. Of the three races on the pro
gramme, the second was very interesting, as the Maltese Vil-
la oolt, Terry, who bad won easily earlier in the week, was
expected by the stable to win again, but the colt had the
worst of the weights with Captain Al, and really never could
get alongside him.

The last race was a complete upset, as Funny, who had
no friends, won cleverly, Tbe Manager, Mr. Baldwin, held
the starter's flag, and got the horses off in good time in all
three races.

SUMMARY.

It ib now a little more than two years ago that imported
Greenback was brought to America, in company with some
of the best animals ever Bent over from Eogland. At the
time, "Vigilant?," the wtll known authority on matters per-
taining to the turf, wrote as follows in the New York Spirit
of the Times:

"Greenback, the stallion, was out in the stallion paddock
when we arrived, with Mr. Easton and Mr. Charles Reed
viewing his capers as he lunged and trotted under the exhil-
arating influence of the keen bright air. Greenback is, bar
Eayon d'Or, the most magnificent specimen of a blood horse
that we have seen among the imported horses of the past fif-
teen years. He is thirteen years old, a whole colored brown,
with broad, flat legs, great length and liberty, a fine spread
of hips and every evidence of great constitution and animal
vigor. About the head and neck he is mnch of the type of
Stockwell, but bodily he is different, having more of that
trim quality of the Leamingtons, only more substantial,
straining probably to his grandaire, The FyiDg Dutchman.
He is like an eel as he moves about with a quick, sinuous
glide. He is a superbly coated horse, reflecting a purple
sheen, which blazes in the sunlight, and no one would dream
that he had so recently left the ship Greenback's blood is
as high as his conformation. He is a son of the French
horse Dollar, who was by Flying Dutchman, dam Payment,
by Slave. Dollar's dam was tbe dam of Florin, the sire of
Florintin, winner of the French Derby in 1866, and of Man-
tilla, the champion French two-year-old of 1878. Dollar's
merit aa a Bire is famous, as he got Salvator, St. Cyr, Peria,
Almanza, Nathan, Fontaioeblean, Salvanos, Torrent and An-
drocles. One of his daughters, Nellie James, produced Jack
of Hearts, Jacobus, etc., in Mr. Belmont's stud. Salvator
won the Grand Prix de Paris and French Derby in 1875, and
Salvanos won the Cesarewitch in 1872. On the side of his
dam Greenback is glorious. His dam was the Duke of Ham-
ilton's great mare Music, ihe best broodmare in Europe.
She has foaled Ossian, Fiddler, Song, Songstress, Nina, Po-
etry, etc., Nina being one of the best two-year-olds of 1837,
winning the Clearwell, Bretby and Homebred. Aa for Ossi-
an, she won the St. Leger, while Fiddler beat Fosball for the
Alexandria Plate. Music is a daughter of Stockwell, from
the invincible One Act by AnnanHale; 3d dam Extravaganza
by Voltaire, etc, gives Greenback an infusion of Blaeklock
blood. Greenback was a really good race horse, winning the
Stretchworth Stakes, at Newmarket, as a two-year-old, and
the Earl Spencer Plate, at Northampton, as a three-year-old.
The Peel Handicap, the Queen's Plate, at Ayr, and the Cale-
donian Cup, at the same place, also fell to hia share. He has
got Beveral winners, having sired Greenlight, Greenjacket,
Greenshank, Greenwave, Greenhorn, etc. He is the only
direct representative of Bay Middleton's male line in Amer-
ica, and will be a grand outcross for our native mares.

The Fresno Fair Grounds Association are certainly to be
congratulated on the splendid order of their track which is
probably the fastest and best appointed in the State, and re-
flects great credit on the efficient management headed by
President Dr. Lewis Leach and Vice-President S. N. Stranbe.
Esq., for despite the heavy rains all through the winter the
natural condition of the soil and track are such that it readily
dried out. A good many skeptical people doubted tbe
phenomenal time m.%de by Ed. McGinnis, but it was perfectly
absurd for the timers were K. Porter Ashe. G. Starr, tbe well
known trotting driver and It. B. Terry, all of whom should
be qualified timerB. Anyway, McGinnis has often Bhown bis
ability to run ss fait, as when one allows for the difference in
weight it must be a peculiar idea of how weight tells on
a horse which will not allow three-quarters of a second for 44
poundB. Ed McGinnis carried 127 pounds at lone early
fast August, and was beaten a head in 2;0Si, being then four
years old, and last week, as a five year old, carried 83
pounds. With regard to the other times, at short distances,
probably the crack sprinters in the West were at Fresno, Sun-
day Kitty Van and Cyclone being fast, among fast horses, and
it was to be expected that something pheuomenal would be

done.

More About Lady Vernon.

The readers of the Breeder and Sportsman will be
pleased to read the following letter, Iwhich tells more about
the history of Lady Vernon. We are much obliged to Mr.
Bement for his kindness, and would be pleased to receive
letters from any of the "oil timers" about the horses and
races of "Auld Lang Syne'':

Maple Grove Farm, Oakland. March 30, 1890.
Editor Breeder, and Sportsman:— I have just been read-
ing your article about Lady Vernon, and thinking perhaps
you would like to know what little I remember about her,
send you the following memorandum of her races and prog-
eny. I saw her trot all her races in San Francisco and re-
member them perfectly. The first one was for a purse of
SI, 000. with an inside stake of S1000 each, against the pacer
Lady Mac, and took place on the Pioneer course in April,
1854, and was won by Lady Vernon in one heat, distancing
Lady Mac in 2:28i, but as she made several very long breakB,
was set back four seconds for running, and the time was an-
nounced 2:32£. I remember tbe circomstance distinctly.

The next race was al-o in April, 1S54, and was for a purse
of $500, over the Union Course, Lady Mac to saddle and
Lady Vernon to harness, and waf won by Lady Mac in four
heats, Lady Vernon winning the second Time, 2:32, 2:34,
2:34 and 2:37.

She then trotted against Daniel Webster and Lady Mac,
both pacers, over the Pioneer Course in May, and won in
three straight heats. Time, 2:37, 2:33 and 2;35.

She also trotted at Sacramonto a match for $1,000 aside,
with Lady Jane, withdrawn, after the second heat. Time,
2:31 and 2:37.

In July, 1855, she trotted a match race with New
York for $1,000, over the Pioneer Course, two mile
heats, Lady Vernon to wagon and New York to
harness, which was won by New York in straight
heats, time 5:16 and 5:15, and I think tfie3eare the only races
she ever trotted in California.

Young Vernon, Master Vernon and the Vermont Colt were
afterwards owned by Mr. A. Hay ward. The Rattler Colt by
Erwin Uavi6: The first Patchen colt he sold to William
Woodward, who trotted him in the colt Stake at Shell Mound
Park under the name of Billy Vernon, and who dropped
dead in a two mile race on the Ocean Houee track. Califor-
nia Chief ran away and broke his neck. Tom Vernon went
to Watsonville and Oakland Maid he sold to W. S. Hobart.
The other four I never saw. Yours truly,

Geo. Bennett.

Salt For Animals.

Why do animals need salt ? Because animals is an epitome
of mineral and vegetable matters, and salt is a medium be-
tween them — a compound of these campounds in certain de-
finite proportions, and graBS and giain do not supply a snffi-
cient proportion to complete the compound, and are not there-
fore complete nutrients. Horses fed on an excess of grain.
in disproportion to most fibrous plants, will eat the ground
with acidity when they can get at it, and it supplies in a
measurea corrector of vegetable acidity. Salt being a chlo-
ride of sodium furnishes both chlorine and soda, the latter
being a nentralizer of excessive acidity, especially derived
from grasses, pampered horses should be provided with the
following ball, always in easy reach: First, make a strong
brine of rock salt with a, tenth of saltpetre in it. then get a
spit of pure clay and half a gallon of fresh wood ashe?, and
of these mike a mixture with sufficient water, and roll into a
ball and dry. Keep tbis in a till of the mariger, clean and
always in reach of the pet animal, jost as are the grass and
ground in hia native wood. As I have said tbe horse is an
epitome of all that he will eat in health, and this Is why they
nourish and build up each function.— S. F. Larkin, iu Horse
, World.

W. Ayres, the one time owner of Trade Dollar and other
good racehorses, is in town again, having come down on a
visit from Portland, Or,

Cook, the jockey, is still out East, but Messrs. Kelly &
Samuels expeot him back in time for the Blood Horse meet-
ing, or possibly San Jose.

Dan MeCatty tried to get Kelly and Samuels to put a price

price, and Dan offered §15,000.

Rosa Wilkes 2;18} has a pretty foal by Nutwood 2;1S£. The

quirer out of Bribery, and therefore a brother to Miss Ford.

At the request of Jockey Palmer "Father Bill" Daly has

In the six furlong race on Friday at Fresno, with four start-
ers, Porter Ashe's boy was tbe only one not accused of foul
riding. He was always too far back, yet in the second heat
Mirope outstayed the lot and won cleverly.

The first foal of tbe season dropped at F. B. Harper'n Nan-
tura Stud, is a bay colt by Longfellow, dam Lenora Morris
(Bister to Drake Carter). It came the other day, and the lit-
tle fellow very much resembles Drake Carter.

Victor Von Bismarck (sire of Edgemark 2.10 as a four-venr-
old), will not be a public 6tallion from now on. G. G. White
his owner, will keep him to serve his own mares at the Gilt-
Edged Stock Farm in Bourbon County, Ky.

There are forty-six yearlings this Spring, twenty-four colts
and 22 fillies, at MoGrathiana Stud. They ore the get of
Harry O'Fallon, Strathmore, Doke of Montrose, Onondaga,
imp. Rapture, imp St. Blaise, Aristidea and Speudthrift.

It is stated by an authority that 75 per cent, of the trot-
ting and thoroughbred broodmares in Kentucky are barren
or have slipped their foals this season. The loss is not only
large, but wi'l cause a shortage of yearhngB next spring.

In Kentucky only one thoroughbred stallion, Longfellow'
stands at $500. Four trotting stallions. Robert McGiegor,
Baron Wilkes, William L. and Red Wilkes, are advertised to
Btand at that price, all of them being in and near Lexington.

Mr. Kittson has sent imported Clara, the dam of Cartoon
and Reclare, to Mr. Cassatt's Stratford. Cartoon and Reclare
are both by Reform, a son of Leamington, Stratford should
therefore nick with tbe mare, as he of course is a Leamington.

Pat Malloy, the renowned thoroughbred stallion, will not
serve any mares this season, Mr. Brodhead, the manager of
the Woodburn Farm, being of the opinion that a year's rest
will help to reinvigorate the old horse, who was foaled in
1865.

Mr. W. E. Spier a year ago purchased from Palo Alto for
for $8000 the bay stallion May King, foaled 18S6, by Elec-
tioneer out of May Queen 2:20. Last week May King was sold
to Messrs. Sibley and Miller, Frankfort, Pa., for about
$20,000.

Last week in Turf and Track, I mentioned that Mr. Mackey,
the Rancho del Paso superintendent, brought back Roxaline,
sister to Marion, the dam of the Emperor of Norfolk, El Rio
Rey, etc. I should have said Easter, a daughter of Roxaline,
by Vicksburg.

The Duke of Malborough, despite a strong aristocratic
backing after putting up bis name for "Tbe Turf," which is
the crack sporting club in England, decided to withdraw his
name and not be blackballed, as he was informed be most
assuredly would be.

Magolica 2:15 only elicited one bid at auction, the Sire Bros,
getting him for $1,000. Prior to the Bale they offered $2,000
for the fourteen-year-old gelding, whose poor condition pre-
vented any bidding for nim. He will be sent to Europe with
several other trotters.

Mr. William Thomas, of Chico, in a very characteristic,
chattv letter to our Field editor, says he has a very usefnl
looking colt by Signal Wilkes, a son of Guy Wilkes, 2:15^,
out of a mare by Arrow, grandam by Blackbird 402, record
2:22, great granddam by Lancet.

J. K. Megibben & Co.'s striog of thoronchbreds consists
of eighteen horses, among tbem being the Kentucky Derby
candidates Eberlee, W. G. Morris and Avondale. James
Rodegap, who prepared Spokane for his Derby and other
victories last year, is training them.

Among the many well bred mares stinted to the Duke of
Norfolk are Laura Gardner, Ida Glenn, the big Adams' mare
and Mr. Winters' Ballinette, the dam of Alta; Dan Dennison
sayB his coltB are great lookers, and one or two he knows are
more than threatened with a turn of speed — they have it.

Starter Caldwell baB bought the horEe Lageard, seven years
old by Uncas out of imported Dawdle from M.Daly. Tbis
once famous racer who in 1887, won eight races and in the
Raritan Stakes beat Hanover, who up to then had won four-
teen straight races that season, will be retired to tbe Btud.

Mr. Salisbury is back again from his eaatern trip with
which he was highly satisfied. He says as 2; 12 is the fash-
ionable mark to shoot at, Direct will receive no mares
this year, but will be specially prepared for a low mark. Mar-
garet S. is in grand trim, and will make a big race for the cup.

Clifton Bell, the well-known racing man has been in the
city for several days, after spending the winter in Los Ange-
les. I am sorry to say Mr. Bell and his wife are both in
very indifferent health. He says the mare Lob Angeles has
wintered exceptionally well and never looked so well in her
life.

The McGinnis-Daisy D. race at Fresno last week, a mile
and a quarter in 2:07 J, was a scorcher for the time of year.
The first mile in 1:41 J, took the kink out of the mare's neck;
in fact, the horse be*t her at the end of the six furlongs. It is
noteworthy that McGinnis' dam, Jeunie G , is a full sister
to Daisy D.

The Fresno Association is making a great and meritorious
effort to have on their track for their meetings all tbe best
horses in the West and there is every indication that Mr.
Baldwin will have the track extensively patronized next fall
by EaBtem stables who will send the pick of their stiings to
winter in Fresno.

One of the most successful and prolific broodmares ever
owned by Col. R. P. Pepper, Frankfort, Ky., was Crop. She
was by Pilot Jr,. out of a Canadian mare. Col. Pepper paid
$100 for her at an executor's sale, and before she died he sold
over $20 000 worth of her colts and fillies. Her ears were
frozen off when a colt, hence the name.

Ed.Bitherhas arrived at Allen Farm, Pittsfield, Mass.,
and among the horses that will be campaigned ai e several
which will be bred this spring, viz.. Jet Wilkes to Yataghan-,
Elista 2:22£, to Electrite (brother to Sphinx 2:23*); Miss Ma-
jolica to Launcelot; Mentaka to America; Maudlen 2:25J, to
Electioneer (by courtesy of Senator Stanford).

The Belle Meade Stud, Nashville, Tenn , has lost tbe
brown mare Hiawasse, foaled 1879, by imported Saxon, dam
Vandalite, by Vandal, out of Vesperlight, bv Childe Harold.
She cost Belle Meade $2,000 at the Lorillard sale, but has
been sick ever since, and had no produce. She was a super-
ior racer, winner of the Mermaid Stakes, Monmouth Oaks
and other races. Hiawasse was in fold to Enquirer.

That great race mare Freda and Grissette (in foal to the
Emperor), died last week at Santa Anita. If the present rate
of deaths continue, Mr. Baldwin will have nothing to breed
to the Australian stallion — when he comes. Miss Ford is re-
covering rapidly and it is hoped is out of danger. She is be-
lieved not to be in foa), bat aa she was bred late in June (to
Verano), there is a chance that she prove in foal yet.

Mr. 8bippee is very unfortunate in his racing this year.
He declared all his three year olds out of all engagements at
the Blood Horse Meeting, except Fellowoharra, by Longfel-
low, out of Trinket, and a fortnight ago the colt partially
broke down and was let up on with the expectation that
he would be all right again, but unfortunately his first good
gallop exposed the fallacy and his turf career is ended.

R. Porter Ashe was particularly pleased with JudRe Terry's
run last week at Fresno. He expeots Alta to prove himself
one of the crack stallions in another season or two, as bia
colts are an exceptionally fine lot, and all that have been
worked are very speedy. A few weeks ago, be sold to Mr.
James Davis, for $500. a yearling by Alta, mil of Termagant.
The colt will stay on the ranch until next Fall or Spring.

Mr. Salisbury sayB Mr. Case is delighted with the sister to
Direct which Echora foaled on the 17th. She will be bred to
PhallaB this season.

Clifton closed two Dew stakes, the Passaio County Stakes,
to be run April 11th, for three year olds; seven furlongs and
a half, with $1,000 added. The Clifton Stakes, to be run
April 14th, for all ageg. $10 accompanied the entrance, and
$1,200 is added; welter weights, and selliog allowances.
Distance four miles.

A number of mare3 wbich went to Ormonde during his
first season proved to be barren, and he had only eight foals
last year, of which one (colt out of Freia) died. The Duke
of Westminster has colt* by Ormonde out of Sbotover aDd
out of Angelica, dam of Blue Green. Lord Arlington has a
colt ont of Thistle, Lord Gerard a filly out of Bryonia, and
Mr. J. S. Harrison a colt out of Crucible.

H. G. Scoggan says: "les, Proctor Knott has had fome
thiog the matter with one of his forelegs, but I do not think
that amonnts to aojthing. I can hardly tell you what it
wa3, but it will not affect his running. People who think so
will be undeceived in a few days. He is not in anything like
racing form, and I don't know how soon he will be, and for
that reason I am not certain when and where I will Btart
him."

J. Dwyeris training a public stable of horses at Fresno,
among tbem being an exceptionally good looking, rangy mare,
two > ears old, by Clovis, out of Ida Davis by Del Nor, a son of
Strathmore, the property of Mr. S. N. Straube.whoalto has a
yearling in Dwyer's care. Mr. Straube has several other
horses at the track, with his own trainer in charge, including
Junio, 2:22, who is in spleodid condition, and being exten-
sively patronized. Clovis and Apex, 2:26, are on the ranch.

George Slarr will probably leave for the East the middle of
this month; it depends on the weather the other side of the
Rockies when he will depart. Mr. Starr's horses are looking
exceptionally well; JohnstoD, Little Ed. Annan, the gray
horse Jack, Marie Jansen, Reina and the others under his
care having been jogged for some time have lately had a few
workouts. The Waters Stock Farm's Faustino has wintered
well and has grown into an exceptionally fine looking two-
year-old .

Wilber Field Smith wrote me uu Monday that his thor-
oughbred mare Annie Lanrie, entered in tbe great Matron
Stakes was not in foa). He also said: "I have a foal for tbe
Breeder and Sportman Futurity Stake, a chestnut colt
foaled March 19th, sired by Albert W. 2:20, dam Bell
Blanche by The Moor; 2nd dam Belle Vipw Maid by Peckr
Idol; 3rd dam Sue Monday by Pilot Jr ; 4th dam Kate Tabei
by Mambriuo Messenger, etc. He ought to stand the drilling
and go the route.

It

The following autborative statement has been sent out by
the Kentucky Association: Tbe report that the Kentucky
Association will have no racing tbis spriogis utterlv untrue.
Our track is now in good condition; in a few days both in-
side and outside tracks will be equal to any in America. We
have 150 horses on the grounds doing well, and have stables
engaged for 60 more horses to arrive next week. We have
completed sixty new stalls, and our club houses and bettinq
shed will be complete for the races, May 6th. We expect an
unprecedented meeting.

Shoe3 were used in verv early ages; as a matter of fact,
tho feet of horses were protected by leather boots to keep the
hoof from splitting and chipping while on long journeys, and
by the wealthy people, as early as tbe times of Aristotle and
PliDy. These boots were sonieiimes shod with metal. The
mules of Nero were said to be shod with silver. Homer
mentions "brazen-footed steeds. " Iron shoes nailed to the
hoof were firBt mentioned in the works of the Emperor Leo
in the 9th centurv, and were introduced into England by
William 1st, about 1688.

John Goldsmith tells me that Nina D., 2:26*. by Nutwood,
2:18£, foaled a slashing bay colt on the San Mateo Ranch by
Sable Wilkes, 2:18 Nina D. waB pent out here lust spring
by her owner, Dan De Noyelles, to be bred to Sable WilkeB,
and at the hametime Mr. De Noyelles suggested toGoldsmith
that if he could give her a record, he would be pleased.
Goldsmith not only gave her a record but won several races
with her. The colt should be a wonder, for the speed lints
are astonishing: his dam is Nina D, 2:264, dam Adelaide, '2:19}.
by Phil Sheridan, 2:26*. while his site is Sable Wilkes, 2:18
at three vears old, by Guy Wilkes, 2:15j, a son of George
Wilkes, 2-22.

The St. Louis Republic of the 26th says: Dr. A. C. Ber-
nays' four-year-old mare Kidnap, by Luke Blackburn — Caa-
tilla, was killed at the Fair Gronnds track yesterdav- She
was stone blind, aud waa ont exercising with an 85-lb. boy
nam^d Sherman on her back. When opposite the betting
stand she threw the boy and galloped around to the back
stretch, where Bhe ran into the track machine. Her fore leg
was caught and wrenched completelv off the tiunk. She
jumped around on three legs until J. G. Gibbnns arrived,
when be mercifully shot her. Kidnap wns by Lake Black-
burn out of CaBtiila, and was bought in a selling ra e for
$475, during the last meeting.

Truth says the Paris correspondent of one of the morning
papera made the absurd statement la»t week that the date of
the Grand Prix has not been changed because many of tbe
animals engaged have engagements at Ascot, whereas a
change to the Sunday week after that meeting (June 29)
would haveeuabled their animals to fullfil their engagements
at Ascot, which ibey certainly cannot do nude* the present
very incovenient and idiotic arrangement. If the Grant!
Prix had been postponed until June2il, the race would nn'
doubtedly have been benefited, as there would have been a
larger Held of English horRPB,-and the alteration would have
also been most beneficial for Ascot.

St. Gatien who ran a dead heat for the Derby io
1884, with Harvester, and whose stock will begin to run
this season, had seventeen foals last year, of which one
(colt out of Polaris) died. They include a colt out
of JMecaria (dam of Laureate) and a filiy out of Flor-
ence, both owned by Mr. Hammond; Mr. Corlett has a fillj
out of his grandly bred mare Pretty Dance; and there art
colts out of Lucy Glitters, Quilt and Balmoral; and fillies oil'
Eira, Maxima and Peevish. Among St. Gatien'a two yea
olds of this season will be the Duke of Portland's colt out o
Modwena (sister to Donovan), Mr. Hammond's colts out o
Electric and ont of Decoration, and hia filly ont of Macaria
who is said at Newmarket to be very smart; Mr. Gosling''
colt out of Winifred, which was sold at Doncaater for 53'
guineas, and M.JDawson's filly out of Galvanic.

During the recent Kellogg sales "Counselor" Crawford,
U. H. Nelson and other noted horsemen got into qnite a
warm diseoBeion over the merits of trotting stallions. Mr.
Crawford offered to wager that Nelson 2:14}, would not beat
2:12 this year, and in reply Mr. Nelson said: "Time is a
fnnny thing; it is always on an edge, and is a hard thing to
beat sometimes. It is different with a horse; he has his off
days, and if I mate any matches it will be horse against
horse. Now, I will tell you what I will do. I will match
Nelson against Axtell, Stamboul or Palo Alto for $5,000 a
Bide, and trot the race this season.' The "Counselor" said
he did not eontrol either of the horses, and, therefore, could
not make the match.

Col. R. S. Strader, who spent most of last'fall and winter
here and took away with him a high class list of trotters,
shipped several mares to California from Kentucky. Among
them were to Mr. W. S. H bart Nancy Lee (the dam of Nancv
Hacks) by Dictator out of Sophy by Alexander's Edwin Forest:
Nola, a four-year-old mare by Nutwood nut of Belle Bowman
by Clark Chief and Valdosta, a tive-year-old mare by Nutwood
out of Emma Arteburn by Mambrino Patchen. To the San
Mateo Farm, Bon Bon, a three-year-old tilly by Baron Wilkes
out of Mary Whitney; Little Odd, a three year
old brown filly by Baron Wilkes out of Odd Stocking bv
Happy Medium and a Mambrino Bushel filly. The last
three will be bred to Guy Wilkes and are the property of Mr.-
John A. Skamnell, Shreldeport, La.

The Anaconda Review says: Through the courtesy of Mr.
Ed S. Maxwell, who has just returned from a visit to Madi-
son County, to the farm of Noah Armstrong, we are able to
give the readers of the Review the names of the horses now
in Mr. Armstrong's Eastern stable.

Spofeane, ch h, 4, by Hyder AH— Interpose.

Remint, bra, 4. by Bed Boy— Bolus.

Mickey H, ch m, 4, by Red Boy — Bessie Douglass.

Polemus, b c, 3, by Ked Boy— Lady Prewltt,

Crawdsb, ch c, 3, bv Rayou d'Or— Brienda.

Tacoma, b f, 3, hy Tom Bowling— Annie Louisa.

Beinier, cb c, 2, by Pizarro— Electrical.

Orcas, br f, 3, by Patrick — Bessie Belle.

We also learn that it is very doubtful whether Spokane will
be seen in public before the Suburban at Coney Island. The
oolt was never himself after the American Derby at Chicago
last year, and Mr. Armstrong IhinkB that he can beat any
horse in the land at a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half
if he is in good condition.

Oats should be clean, dry, sound, plump, full of flour and
rattle like dried peas. Good oats have no smell, except in
fresh samples, when they savor slightly of earth. Before be-
ing fed to the horse they should be cleaned and winnowed
to get all the dust out of them. They should never be used
when kiln dried, which is sometimes done to preserve and
whiten them. These are Iosb nourishing and cause diabetes.
To horseB that bolt their food and do not masticate it thor-
oughly, chaff, or hay cut up tine, may be given in each feed,
a good handful at a time. Clover hay treated in the same
manner answers the same purpose and is an agreeable change.
Light feeding horses will often eat their oats the better for it.
The same may be said of carrots finely chopped, about half a
pound to a feed, or even less as a relish. HorseB are exceed-
ingly fond of carrots, and will frequently be tempted by a
feed so flavored when they would not finish a plain one.
Nevertheless, in large quantities they are not recommended,
being apt to produce eruptive blotches on the skin, difficult
to eradicate and indicating that much of this food is injuri-

The Stewards of the French Jockey Club have jast made
some most important alterations in their rules, which will be
much appreciated by owners of racehorses, whom they are par-
ticularly designed to benefit. London Truth says: Sweepstakes
made up of entrance fees and forfeits are abolished, and the
amount of the entrance fee to a race is never to exceed five
per cent, of the added money. In future, moreover, man-
agers of meetings muBt show that all the profits (except a
certain and moderate percentage) are devoted to bona "fide
racing purposes, and there are to be a fixed proportionate
number of handicaps weight-for-age stakes, selling races,
and two year old stakes every day. No meeting held within
twenty-five miles of Paris is to give less than £720 added
money every day, and there are never to be more than six
races per day. It is a great pity that such rules cannot be
passed by our Jockey Club, although they would not meet
with the approval of "enterprising managers" and other turf
cormorants, whose cupidity is notorioubly insatiable.

For Borne weeks negotiations have been pending between
the Sire Bros., of New York, and Hermann Dix, of Berlin, for
the famous trotting campaigner Harry Wilkes, and it was
common talk that the fastest son of old George Wilkes would
soon bid adieu to his native land and make the ocean voyage
to Germany, where his name and fame would insure him
speedy recognition on the European turf. The deal has fal-
len through, bowever, and the swift-footed gelding will pro-
bably remain in this country for another season at least.

Mr. Sire was seen at his office on Broadway last week in
relation to the matter. He said;

"Wehave heard from Mr. Dix, who had held an option on
Harry for some time, with a proviso that he could have two
other trotters, owned by us, if he did not decide to take him.
He cables us that he will bay the two stallions, Red Star and
George Peacemaker, and Harry Wilkes will no donbt be
ready for the campaign this season and take part in whatever
engagements are made for him."

In a paper read the other day before the London Royal In-
stitution, Professor Flower, F. K. S. stated that the evolu-
tion of the horae is a subject almost equal in interest to that
of the descent, of man. This is largely because American fos-
sil remains have thrown so much light on the matter that it
seems likely to become as Professor Huxley remarks, a test
case of the value of the Darwinian theory. Owen has shown
that the hoofed vertebrates — which are further distinguished
from animals with claws by having herbivorous teeth instead
of carnivorous — are naturally divided into even-toed and
odd toed. The odd-toed have a curious geological history,
and may be traced by ample evidence back to a common an-
cestor, the fossil phenacodus There is proof that both the
odd-toed and the even-toed swarmed in early Eocene time,
though now the even-toed — oxen, sheep, deer, camels, pigs
and hippopotamus — are kept going chiefly by the iofluence of
man, while the odd-toed, there are only the tapir and rhinos-
ceros, besides the horse. Concerning the phenacodus much
has been learned within a year or two. More remains have
been discovered, one skeleton being almost perfect, aud these
have the ppcnliarities of the hoise and Bhow that there has
been but little chauge sxcept in the long-boned tail. The
Bize of tbe lower jaw, the teeth, the limbs, and, in short,
every detail of structure regarded as important, are the same.
The size of the animal varied from that of a terrier to that
of a sheep.

Last year there were no fewer than 413 thoroughbred foals
in the Austro-Hnngarian Imperial studs, 216 colts, and 197
nllies, of which thirty-seven died. Doncaster. by Stockwell
k ?ire °f Kend 0r' was broiaght a few years ago from
the Duke of Westminster, takes the first place, with thirty-
one foals; Craig Millar, by Blair Athol, who won the Leger
of 1875 for the lite Mr. Stirling Crawfurd, had fourteen; and
Kisber, by Buccaneer, had eight.

The top bone in the structure of the front supports of the
horse is the scapula, blade bone, shoulder blade, or upper
shoulder bone, Unlike the topmost bones in the hinder
supports, it does not touch the spine, though it reacbesabovo
the spinal column, and it 1b not attached to it, except by
the muBcles that are attached to both. It is strongly imbed-
ded in large muscles, and reaches from the point in the
shoulder to nearly the top of the wither. Its height, its
length, and above all the angle at which it B]opes back 'as it
rises, are all important feautures in considering the value of
a horse. The more it slopes back the more advantageously it
will be connected, both with the assisting muscles of the
back and loins, and with the resisting weight that it has to
sustain and move through the lower shoulder bone, so that
with sufficient slope, the fore legs will be lifted farther and
more easily, the saddle will be earned further back, and the
fore legs will be set on further forward . Its back slope thus
contributes in several different ways to the ease and safety
of the rider, and to the moving power and endurance of the
horse.

The New York Herald contained a communication from
Newbnrg, N. Y., concerning the pedigree and history of
Lady Dunn, the grandam of the great three year old trotter
Axtell 2:12, which will prove of interest. It says: "Lady
Dunn waB bred in Newburg by Captain Samuel Roberts, then
a resident here, and who is remembered as one of the con-
tractors who, with George Law, built the Croton Aqueduct.
While Captain Roberts was engaged on that work he bought
from a Long Island breeder a fast road mare of imported
Messenger blood. After using the mare for his own private
driving in New York he brought her here and bred her to
Seely's American Star, then standing at Goshen. The get
was a gray tilly, which he named Lady Dunn, She was pur-
chased by John McQuoid, a well known horseman of New-
burg, who broke her to harness and then sold her to JesBe
Hulse, a neighbor. She began to develop remarkable speed
and promise, and attracted the attention of Jack Nodine,
then a noted New York horseman, who bought her of Mr
Hulse for another horse and $275 in cash. The subsequent
history of the mare in connection with her removal to Ken-
tucky and the performances other progeny are well known,"

Running away is a term applied to an uncontrollable gal-
lop, which may proceed from very different causes and pre-
sent very different degrees of danger. There is the self-
willed gallop of the hard mouthed horse, who ehooseB to go
his own pace, and in his own direction. There is the un-
controllable gallop, excited by emulation in company, or the
determination not to be left behind, and there is the far more
dangerouB panic flight of the terrified horse. The panic
stricken horse running away in terror under the impression
that some frightful auimal has got on his back, or is" follow-
ing on his heels, is a pitiable sight and one full of daneer.
His exertions are bo desperate and exhausting, and the spt-ed
so terrific, that either a tail or a collision is sore to be some-
thing very serious, and tbe horse loses his senses so com-
pletely that he is far more likely to run into, than to avoid
the most evident danger. It rarely if ever occurs with the
well educated horse, but sometimes attacks a half educated
horse. Such badly broken horses are always liable to catch
a sight or sound of something thst they have not been recon-
ciled to. and to gallop off in frantic terror, especially if rid-
den by young and timid boys who do not know how to
manage them.

Mr. Briggs gave an interesting account of his experience
with The Seer. It will be remembered that this colt, a very
ordinary looking yearling, having a spike tail and crooked
legs, was bought at the first Palo Alto sale in New York by
Dr. Garcelon of Lewiston, Me., for a little over $200. He is
by Electioneer, dam Queen by Young Consternation, son of
imported Consternation. In the summer of 1S8S, as a three-
year-old, Mr. Briggs took him in hand and found he waB a
mixed-gaited, shuffling sort of a foxy fellow, and that a radi-
cal change was necessary to straighten him out. So the
teacher experimented with shoes until he hit the right com-
bination of shoe and toe-weight, and then sent the colt along
a big road gait on the highways and byways until an even
stride was fixed in his head and heels. The next move was
to take him to the track, where he %vas put through his paces
by Btrong jogging and sharp brushes. Presently The Seer
found he was a trotter and was anxious to show it. Then
Mr. Biggs brought him out and gave him a record of 2:29 as
a three-year-old on the ;half mile track at Lewiston, Me.
Last season Tbe Seer was put in shape by Johu F. Haynes
of Biddeford, Me., and lowered his record to 2:222 on the
mile track at MyBtio Park. He is essentially a toe-weight
trotter, and, strange to say, stands straighter on his fore legs
when shod sufficiently heavy to make him go square, than if
allowed to go bare-footed or with common shoes.

Some time ago the Licensed Victualler's Gazette gave the
following reminiscences: Many a man has been ruined by a
mistake; few, as in the following instances, bave made lucky
hits thereby. In 1856, Mr. J. M. Stanley deputed old Fred.
Swindell, of Burton Brewery fame, to back Porta Rica for the
Two Thousand Guineas. One day, while on the race course,
Swindell received a telegram to back a certain number he
would find in a little book on coming racing events, at that
time published by Wright. Upon consulting this work he
thought tbe instructions were iutended to apply to Lord
Stanley's colt Canezou, by Orlando, which was entered im-
mediately after Mr. Stanley's horse, and be sent off at once
to his commissioner Robinson, to put £500, at 25 and 30 to 1,
on the former. After obeying instructions, it struck Robinson
that there must be some mistake, as the colt bad not been
mentioned in the betting quotations and never yet run in
public, so away be went to his principal. The error was
now quickly observed, and tbe money considered as good as
gone. Shortly afterwardB, however, Lord Stanley's colt won
a firnt-rate trial, and ultima'ely, under the name of Fazzolet-
to. the Two Thousand Guineas, when our friends bad the
satisfaction of pocketing several thousand pounds by a mis-
take. A very similar thing happened to the Marquis of
Hastings. Mr. Edward Brayley had two horses in tbe Metro-
politan Stakes, and, one day, while conversing npon ibe
merits of the two competitorp, hi* lordt-bip. who was rather
deaf, mixed up tne n«mes, and stood tn win, on wbat was
supposed to be the worse of the two £7,000. The horee car-
ried off the stakes. But for the blunder the Marquis would
haye been a heavy loser.

A friend of mine, who is a greenhorn in the matter of
horseflesh, was anxious to purchase a horse, but was afraid
of being taken in, says The Pall Mall Gazette. He tried to
persuade an acquaintance experienced in such matters to ac-
company him to inspect an animal on sale at a horsedealer's
establishment. "There's no occasion," said thelattev for
me to accompany you. All you have to do is to seem know-
ing. When you get to the place pot yourhands in your poc-
kets and yonrstick under your arm, and in an offhanded
manner say: 'Groom, run him down. Now, then, pull him
op and let him walk;' then in a knowing and doubtful tone-
Open his mouth. What did you say his age was? I think
hes a little long io the tooth. Seven years did vou say he
was? I should call him 10 or 11 years old. Oh/he's a very
cobby little chap, but I think you 're asking out of the way."
My friend found the above an excellent formula.

St. Stephen's Review, tbe well known London paper, some
weeks ago published the following questions and on Maroh
loth says.

''Interesting and instructive answers keep coming to the
following questions:

"1. What, in your experience, is the cost of breeding and
rearing a yearling up to the July saleB, or to the Doncaster
ones?

"2. What is the best way to feed a foal and yearling so as
to insure the fullest developments without undue fattening?

3. "What strains of blood on the sire'ssideare the surest to
produce good results and command high prices; and from
what blood would you select mares with a view to breeding
winners ?

"4. Do you advocate inbreeding; snd, if so, to what extent,
and to what strains — if you have any preference?

"5. Do you consider British bl-iod stock better or worse
than it used to be; and how, in your opinion, can it most
readily be improved?

"6. What is the best old sire of the day : and which is the
most promising young one, bar St. Simon?

Answers by John Porter, Kingeclere:

"1. £150; this amount will cover keep of yearling and
mare, but not stallion fee or traveling expenses,

"2. Good old oats, beans, peas, with linseed mash and
carrots occasionally, meadow hay and grass; and not less than
four to six hours' paddock exercise daily.

"3. Hermit, Hampton, Galopin. St. Simon, Sterling and
Isonomy: mares descended from Stookwell or Voltigeur to
Hermit and Hampton; mares descended from Newminster
and Macaroni to Galopin. St. Simon, Sterling and Isonomy.

"4. I do not object to moderate relationship. Stallion
and mare removed from common ancestor four or five de-
grees would not be too much inbred, but I would go no near-
er than that.

"5. Worse. We have fewer good slavers than formerly,
with more roarers and unsound horses. You tTy to get your
foal in January. February and March, tbe three coldest and
worpt months in the year, therefore you must house both
mare and foal moBt of the time; if turned out you see the
foal shivering by the side of its dam, it then sows the seed of
roaring and many other diseases from which it never thor-
oughly recovers. Whereas if foaled in April or May, the
mare gets natural food in tbe shape of Spring graBs, which
produces a better quality of milk than any artificial food you
give her can produce. With this and warmth and Bunshine
the foal thrives, and in all probability goes right ahead with-
out the many checks that early foals are subject to. I should
therefore suggest that to improve the breed of thoroughbred
horses you should be careful to select thoroughly sound
mareB and stallions of good running blood, have your foal if
possible in April or May, run them later and less often at two
years old, with more races of a mile and upwards for older
horses.

"6. Ayrshire. "

The most pictureeqe man on the turf is old Burton the
bookmaker. The New York World says: Long and loose-
jointed, and lank of figure is old Burton. He haB a quizzical
look in his eyes, ana a perfect flood of quaint words and
queer expressions flows from him all day long. Everybody
will be sorry to hear that the old man has lost a great deal of
money during the past winter, and that he will be unable in.
all probability, to make a book the coming season. The canse
of Burton's misfortune may be traced to "oontz" or "craps,"
a game with dice, which was played solely by the negroes in
the South until the past winter, when nn inexplicable craze
seized the people of Louisville and Nashville, and men,
women and children began playing "oontz " The mania be-
came so violent that the Legislature of Kentucky passed a
bill a few months ago making "oontz" playing a felony; but
the law was not passed until hundreds of men had been
ruined. Among those whose monsy was lost was old Bur-
ton. He is said to bave loBt $16,000 in one night at Nash-
ville.

Burton's favorite method is to pick out a horse aud plunge
on him, and then when the race comes off run behind the
grand stand, turn his back to the track and put his fingers in
Lis ears. In this way he hears nothing and sees nothing. He
thinks it is bad luck to watch a race. When he is making a
book he lays extravagant odds against certain horses that he
doesn't like, and bis prejudices against horses are as bitter as
men's hatred of their deadly enemies. When he happens to
lose he will jump down from his box, and taking off his hat
begin thumping Lis head.

"Burton, you ole fool," he cries in his broad Southern
accent, "who tole you to bet on horses? Burton, you long-
legged, pigeon-headed ole jay bird, what right you got to bet
(bangiDghis bead vigorously meanwhile).? You ought to be
drownded. Burton, yon mis'able.good for nothing jack bsb."
All this in the midst of 10,000 people, to whom he pays not
the slightest attention. After he has delivered his lecture to
himself he gets back on bis box aud begins taking in beta.

Burton always walks with his hands behind bim, talking
enegetically to niraaelf. This habit saved him $1,500 a year
or so ago in New York. He was going down Broadway in his
long, shambling way, swearing at himself vigorously. One
of Inspector Byrne's men happened to be beside him.

"Burton, you ole fool, what you let them people rob you?
Ain't yon got no sense. Burton? About time you learned
somethin'. Better go off and drown yourself, Burton, if you
let yourself be robbed that way." The detective a*«ked the
old bookmaker what it was all about, and Burton told bim
very relnctaotly bow he had been "badgered" ont of $1,500.
The deteotive got the money back, although Burton waB wil-
ling to let the badgers have it. as he wanted the matter
hushed up. He was thought bv tbe publio to be a very rich
mgn, as his books centrally offered unusually liberal odds;
hut it is now said that Burton was only the representative of
half a dozen others, and that he owned only a small share of
bis book. In spite of his whimsicalities and peculiarities he
was a shrewd bookmaker, and every season found bim a
winner. Everyone likes tbe queer old fellow, and hii mis-
fortune will be universally regretted.

THE FARM.

Selection, Care and Management of the Breed-
ing Ball-
Paper Ke»<l Before Hie Wisconsin Farmers' Convention
at Madison, F*b. 5»H. by John B. KUer, Oregon.

In selecting a breeding bull obtam the very beat animal
that can be secured at a reasonable price. Do not call a
piice unreasonable if yon are called upon to pay a little more
for an excellent animal than the price of an "ornery" one. By
all means secure a well bred animal. Let him be a true type
of the breed whose name he bears. Let individual merit be
the first point to be considered. Back this up with a strong,
vigorous constitution and a well established lineage of meri-
torious animals. He should be uniform in quality, not strong
in one point and weak in another, as his progeny is jnst as
liable to inherit the weak points as the strong ones. With
uniformity you can expect uniform results. The class of cows
in a herd should to a certain extent* govern the choice of
bulls. If your cows are loose, rangy, over-grown animals,
choose a bull of more compact build— an earlier maturing
animal. IE your cows are close built and undersized, choose
a bull larger and more Tangy. If your cows are of proper
form and size, choose a bull of similar form and size. While
early maturing, auick feeding cattle are desirable, I do not
advooate the continuous mating of close built, compact ani-
mals, as observation and experience convince me that such a
course will result in deterioration of size. As an old and re-
liable breeder once said to me, "It is an established fact that
where such a course is pursued it is necessary to reBort to a
coarser and more ^rowthy crosB once in a while in order to
retain size." * * *

While Short-horns stand to day at the head of all breeds
as beef animals yet they possess dairy strains to an extent
with which no other beef breeds can begin to compare. These
strains should be fostered and developed; therefore do not
lose sight of the value of dairy strains in the breeding bull.
* * " My model of a Short-horn bull would be one that
weighs at maturity not less than 2,000 lbs. nor more than
2,300 lbs.: red or roan in color. His nose nut brown or
copper colored: his eye clear and bright; his head well pro-
portioned, broad and full between the eyes; his horns of med-
ium length, stroDg and well set, curving in and down rather
than upward; the neck in proportion to his body — not too
long nor too short; it should be a little full midway between
the horns and top of shoulder, and clean-cut and slightly
arched from the throat to the breast. His front broad, deep,
and full; his shoulders set smoothly on his body, his arm
strong and well developed; his fore leg3 wide apart, yet set
well under his body; straight, clean-cut, and noe from the
knee to the hoof; from the top of his shoulder to the root of
his tail straight and broad; well filled behind the shoulders
and from point of hip to root of tail, and strong across the
loins. His body good length and depth; his ribs well sprung
and closely coupled to the hip; his lower line almost parallel
with his upper line; his hind quarters broad and well devel-
oped, tied low down; his hind legs straight and stroDg. He
Bhould stand square od his feet. His tail set on a level with
his back, small and tapering; his hide loose and mellow; his
hair fine, thick and good length. Animals of pronounced
dairy strains are usually cf rougher build than those of a
beef type. * * ,

We should aim to keep the bull in good, healthy, thriving
condition, not overfat. In order to do this he should be fed
regularly and at proper intervals with good, substantial
food, such as hay or grass or corn fodder, with sufficient
grain, such as corn, oats and bran, io keep him in proper
condition. We have two bulls in service at present. One
has reached maturity. His feed consists of all the timothy
and clover mixed that he will eat, with three quarts of
ground corn and oats and bran, equal parts, twice a day.
The other is still growing and is fed the eame as the first, ex-
cept he is grained a little heavier, receiving five quarts twice
a day. When kept in a good, cool box-stall m the summer
time this is sufficient, but if kept in close hot quarters, or
exposed to the 6nn in summer time he should be watered at
least-three times a day. He should be provided with proper
shelter to protect him from summer's heat and winter's cold.
A box-stall is best, as it gives him more freedom and is safer
for an attendant, as he can feed and care for him without
placing himself in such a position as to take chanceB of get-
ting hurt. * * His hind hoofs, when too closely con-
fined in a stable, are apt to grow and become unshapely —
not wearing off at all, but turning up in front and prevent-
ing the animal from walking squarely on his feet. When the
hoof gets in thiB condition it should be shaped properly by
means of saw, hammer and chisel. * " He should have
regular exercise. The best way to exercise an animal is to
have a small lot or pasture in which he can be turned for
exercise. " . * "

Sehct the right kind of a hull to start with. Keep him in
good, healthy, thriviog condition. To accomplish this feed
him well. Give him plenty of pure water, pure air and ex-
ercise. Provide him with good, clean, well-bedded quarters.
Handle him kindly and quietly. Do not overtax his strength
by excessive services. Then instead of being a nuisance and
a disgrace he will be an object of admiration and a credit to
his owner. — Breeders' Gazette.

The Feeding, Care and Management of Pigs

After tbe sow has had her young she should be given food
that she can easily digest. At first it is best to feed her light-
ly, and then gradually increase the amount of food she eets
as the strain becomes greater ou her. Sickness Bbould be
caref oily guarded against both in the mother and her young,
and the best protection against disease is pure air and sun-
shine. They Bhould have a warm pen, with a yard attached.
The young pigs should be taught to feed themselves as soon
as possible. Their trough should be a shallow, flat-bottomed
one, so arranged that tbe sow cannot get to it. The food of
the young pigs should consist first of milk, than of mid-
dlings, oats or barley meal mixed with warm milk. They
may be weaned gradually at tbe end of six or eight weeks,
and a little oil-meal and also corn and pea meal may be ad-
ded to their food. Their growth should now be pnshed
along as fast as possible, and they should be fed regularly,
say about rive times a day, but given only aB much as they
will eat up clean each time. A little salt may at times be ad*
ded. Care should be taken that they are fed regularly as
much as ther will eat. Green corn pulled by the roots is a
good form of green food for them, as is also green clover,
and it is well to have a pasture, field or yard provided for the
pigs to run it. They should not be fed on food too fattening
in their nature, suoh as corn when growing, as a young pig
will not grow well if too fat- but tbev Bhould be given green
food principally, aB this will supply material for the build-
ing ol bone and growing of muscle. To finish them off in the

fall for tbe market, they TBhould have corn, Boaked peas, or
pea-meal; the latter is said to make the meat solid. Avery
good mixture of food consists of barley, peas and oats chop-
ped together. Some prefer cooked roots and pumpkinB
mixed with pea or barley meal to begin fattening on.
Prize essay in Canadian Farmer.

Light and Heavy Cows.

Some years ago, G. S. Smith made a carefully conducted
experiment to see how light and heavy cows produced. He
experimented on Holsteins and Ayrshires. He stated that
the Holstein gave in a year over seven and three-fourthB
times her weight in milk, the Ayrshire gave eight and a half
times her weight. He also compared the Holsteins with the
natives, feeding them precisely alike, tbe natives being of
average excellence. Tho Holstein gave about twelve pounds
of milk more per day than the common cow and produced a
pound of milk for one-fifth less feed consumed than the
native cow did. Professor Rhode, of the Royal Agricultural
Academy, in Eldena, Pomerania, in feeding, fattening and
milching cows; also in making butter and cheese; and a pre-
cise account was kept with every cow, with results as fol-
lows:

1st. Four Toudern cows yielded on an average of 2,917
quarts per cow — highest yield 2 931 quarts; lowe»t, 2,525 qU.
2nd. Two Breitenburger cows yielded on an average 3,580
quarts— highest yield, 3,6S2 quarts; lowest, 3,525 quarts per
cow. 3d. Ayrshire cow averaged 2 247 quarts per cow — high-
est, 2 811 quarts per cow — highest, 2,811 quarts; lowest,
1,769 quarts. 4th. Twenty-two Holslein cows yielded on an
average 4,437 quarts per cow; highest, 5,677 quarts; lowest,
3.157 quarts.

These cows were fed during the winter ten pounds of cut
straw, two and a half pounds of wheat and oat chaff", twenty-
five pounds of turnips, ten poundB of hay, eight pounds re-
fuse from the brewery, three pounds of rye bran, containing,
said the chemist, three and 2S lOOtbs pounds nitrogenous
matter, and fourteen and 30-100ths of nnn-nitrogenous com-
pounds, equivalent to forty-two and 90-100ths pounds of
good hay. During the summer they were fed green clover
and clover and vetches three timeB a day, each ration con-
taining eight pounds of hay, equivalent in nutritive value to
five and 70-100ths pounds of nitrogenous, and fourteen and
91-100ths pounds of non-nitrogenous compounds, equivalent
to forty-five pounds of hay.

Professor Rhode was asked if the Holstein rows, severally,
did eat much more feed than the smaller Tondern cows, and
he said there were nine Holstein cows on the right, and ten
of the smaller breed on the left. The same weight of feed is
put into every trough or manger, and that before the smaller
cows' feed is first consumed, the proportions being as nine
to ten, i. e., the smaller breed consumed forty-five pounds
per cow, and the larger fifty pounds. If desirable to know
whether it requires more feed to make a quart of milk in the
Holstein cows than in the other breeds, all the elements for
the compntation being at hand, show the following results:

1st. The Holstein eats five pounds of hay for .every quart
of milk produced.

2d. The Brettenburger eats six and one-quarter pounds of
hay for a quart of milk.

3d. The Tondern seven pounds of hay for a qaart of
milk.

4th. The Ayrshire nine pounds of hay for a quart of
milk.

Baron Ockel, in Frankfield experimented with Ayrshires
and Holsteins with the following results: The average
weieht of the AyrBhires was 806 pounds, and of the Holsteins
1,016. The experiments showed that the Ayrshires eat three
and three-tenths pounds of hay for 6very 100 pounds of live
weight, while the Holsteins consume two and eight-tenths.
Of the amount of feed consumed, one-sixtieth of their live
weight only was required to keep the Holsteins in their nor-
mal condition, while it required one-fiftieth of the live
weight to keep the Ayrshires in their normal condition. He
then took four Holstein cows, the two heaviest of which
weighed 2,112 pounds on June 14th, and the lighter two
weighed 1,537 pounds. He put them in two groups, the
heavier in one and the lighter in the other, and continued
the experiment fcr sixteen days, the feed being weighed aB
fed to each group, and if not all eaten, what was left was
weighed and deducted from which it formed a part — their
live weights remaining unchanged dnring the time, with the
following result:

This experiment shows that the heavier cows of the same
breed, with tbe same treatment, consume, relatively, less
feed than the lighter, and at the same time yield a greater
relative return of milk from it.

Baron Weckerlin, for many years the leading "cattle man"
in the Hohenbeim Agricultural University, after having made
many experiments with a great variety of breeds of cattle,
came to the conclusion that a cow weighing 700 lbs. requires
one-sixtieth of her live weight in hay equivalents to main-
tain her normal weight, and yield from four to five times her
weight in milk, according to the breed or race, quantity,
quality and manner in feeding,

In 1852 a series of experiments were made at eleven differ-
ent localities in the kingdom of Saxony.by order of the Royal
Agricultural Society, dnring a period of rive years, tbe cows
selected being some of tbe best "Scrubs," Allganerf, Olden-
burgers and Holsteins, tbe latter two being only the same
breeds, as reported, the ooly difference being traceable to
different care and different localities. The results per an-
num for five years were reported as follows: —

With common feed and common care: —

The scrub cows averaged 1,437 quarts per annum

The Allgauers '■ 2,334

The Oldenburgers " 2.220 " " "

The Holsteins " 2,062 *» *' ■"

With the best feed and good care: —

The scrub cows averaged 2,3f6 quirts p°r annum

Tbe AHg-mers " 3,000 '

Tbe OldeuburgerB " 3,712

Tbe Holsteins " 2,'J:'2

Oor dairy of Holsteins, of 100 cows, averaged 4,076 quarts
a cow her annum.

In regard to the size of cows, Professor Caspar! made eigh-
teen experiments in feeding milch cows with a view of ascer
taining how mauy pounds of h*y, or its equivalent, it re-

What Gcnd Cattle Should Dress.

Some one desiring to know what weight good beef cattle
shoold dresp, The National Stockman and Farmer said: There
is much variation in this, just as there is in the amount of
butter a good cow is expected to furnish. SixtypoundBtothe
hundred weight is a very good outcome, and good cattle may
go a pound or two less. Strictly choice beeves, thoogh, should
exceed sixty per cent., rather than go below it. There are
many cases where this yield is increased several pounds to
the hundred weight and in the Chicago Fat Stock Shows
figures rangirg from sixty seven to seventy pounds have
been secured. In his late testimony before the Senate
Committee, Armour stated that the average dressed weight of
his beef was abont 54| per cent, of gross weight. Good
feeders should of course do better than this average of cat-
tle of so many kinds and grades.

Live Stock Numbers and Values.

The recently issued report of tbe Statistician of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture, on "the Numbers and Values of Farm
Animals," is full of suggestion and food for comment, i
few of the salient points which will strike the reader on a
first perusal of it may be epitomized just heie advantage.

There are more hor-e-s in this country now than ever be-
fore, tbe present number being 14,213,837, an increase of 550,
543 over last year. The current valuation is $68 84 pe
head, againBt $71.89 last year $71.82 two years ago, and an
average of S72'58 for the past six years. As the report re-
marks, "this indicates a full supply," and mildly points to a
possible tendency to over-production and lower prices, fur
nisbing a point which horsmen will do well to study.

The numberof milchcows showB a gain of 654,258 head,
the total now being 15,952,883 head, worth $22 14 per head
— $1.80 less than last year. The price now reached is the
lowest in ten years. Other cattle number 36,849.024 head,
an increase of 1,S16,607. The decline in prices is even
greater than in cows, the figure being $15.21, against $17.05
a year ago. Notwithstanding the growth in numbers there
is an aggregate decrease in value of a littl-i over five per cent.
No other commentary is needed on the worse cattle year the
coantry has ever known.

Sheep show an increase in numbers for the first time since
1884—1,736.993 of a gain — making the present total 44,33<
072 head. This increase in number is accompanied, too, by
an increase of over 6i per cent in per capita value, or a
change from $2 13 to $2.27 per head. Sheep are higher now
than in any year since 18S4, the average value for the five
intervening years being about $2.05 per head. Considering
the adverse conditions affecting the wool market the sheep
industry has done at least as well as oonld have been expect-
ed, and it shows at the present time an excellent tone.

The coantry has 1,301,188 more swine lhan a year ago, the
present aggregate being 51,602 780 head. Hogs show a sharp
decline in value, the current S4.72 per head being $1.07 low-
er than a year ago. Notwithstanding this decline there is
nothing especially discouraging in the outlook for swine. The
average value for ten years has been $5 22, and it has been
an unusually good ten years in swine prices.

Taking the live stock of the country in the aggregate we
find nothing except mules and sheep which have increased
in total value within tbe last year. All kinds of stock taken
into the count, tbe valuation is placed at $2,4lS,766,028— a
fall-off of 3* per cent, from the valuation of January, 1889.
Estimating the population of the United States at 65,000.000,
and 44 per cent, of this as rural, there would be an average
of about $8.45 worth of live stook for each individual living
on a farm. It is notoften that the per capita distribution of
live stock would show as low a figure, and we question
whether it will again for a number of years —National Stock-
man and Farmer.

Thoroughbred Sires.

Mr. George Paris of North Dakota writes to Hoard's Dairy-
man an argument in favor of breeding to fall-blooded sires
that may give some new ideas to many farmers. Mr. PariB*
theory is That during pregnancy the female of any animal is
to a greater or less extent affected by the intermixing of her
own blood with that of the foetus, and thai thus tbe charac-
teristics of the male are impressed in part upon the dam.
By breeding some native cows to a Jersey bull, he believes
he has increased the milk and butter-prodncing capacity, not
merely of the offspring, but of the cows themselves. Some of
these are aged cows past their prime, but on the usual feed
they are giving one-quarter more mitk than before they were
bred to pure sireB. The natural corollary to this idea we be-
lieve to be also true, that is, the cows bred to bulls of inferi-
or milk and butter strains are deteriorated in quality. It is
not, therefore, a matter of no importance what bull is bred
to if the calf is not to be raised. The milking capacity ofi
herd of cows may thus be unconsciously deteriorated without
any suspicion by tbe owner of tbe cause. It is said in lno.il-
i'ieB where mules are raised that a mare which has once
borne a mule will ever thereafter be liable to impress some
characteristic of the mule on her colts, though she is after-
wards bred to a finely formed stallion.

Canning Mills-
One of the new idf as about tbe milk supply is the canning
of sterilized milk. Tbe milk is first brought to the boiling
point, to destroy all tbe bacteria and other microbes, then
pot into cans and sealed while at the boiling temperature.
Of course it must be nicely done, and the cans made perfect-
ly air-tight, as is the case with condensed milk. A corre-
spondent of the New York Tribune says that be pat up milk
in this way for family use, while milk was plenty, that he
might have a supply on hand when milk was scarce. He
was using out of cans "put np some weeks ago," and tbe lad-
it s said it wai" 'just lovely," while the correspondent says
it is so uice that he wonders it was Dot long since brought in-
to general use. as it is much more desirable than condensed
milk, having a more natural flavor. For infants, it is much
belter, more fiesb-like, than condensed milk, and must cer-
tainly be preferable to the watered and doctored stuff gener-
ally peddled in cities.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports aud Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ARPHIFPOS,

SUMMARY.

Several prominent young athletes have recently set up in
business for themselves. Ed A. Eolb who is to wrestle A. H.
Lean in the O C, is the head of the firm of Kolb & Denhard.
at 422 Montgomery street, and Mr. Ike Deutoh has recently
established an elegant business house at No. 8 Eidy street.
"We offer congratulations and wishes for great prosperity.

The outdoor men have settled down to strict training for
the coming athletic meetings and the new track of the Olym-
pic Club is beiog well held down by the club's ranners and
walkers. The wheelmen and oarsmen are also making extra
preparations for the opening of the season, and the swimmers
and anglers will be ready in a couple of weeks to begin work
for 1890. Taking everything into coosideratiDn a busy season
jo all kinds of sports may be anticipated.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

A crowd of the Olympic and Alpine athletes enjoyed the
moonlight nights of the past week. The former at their own
grounds, the latter at the Bay District track.

Coffin, Cooley, McArthur. Jarvis, Espinosa, O'Kane, Hen-
derson, Winslow, Cassidy, Williams, McD >ntld and Scott of 1
the Olympic team, have made np their minds to train failh
fully for Decoration Day and with such a good representation
the O C should stand an excellent chance of walking off with
the pennant.

It is now almost a certainty that J. Barr Buchanan, the
champion all round athlete, will not be in the city when the
championships will be decided- Were it possible for Mr.
Buchanan to remain here and represent the 0 C, the other
clubs would stand but a small chance of coming out ahead,

Garrison, Gafney, Goodman, E'dridge, Larkey, Little, Lit-
tringer, Jefferey, Cooke, Holland and Armbruster, of the Al-
pine Ciuh. began training at the Say District track on Mon-
day last. They take exercise e\ery evening in the moonlight
McGee U undecided whether to run or not in the "quarter"
on May 30th. His friends are trying to force him to com-
mence training.

Some individoal without authority recently stated through
the sporting columns of one of the daily papers that Rankin,
of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club, was willing to run any
i amateur in Amerioa five miles. Frank L Cooley, of the
Olympic Club, called at this office the day after the challenge
was issued and informed us that he would rnn Mr. Rankin
for a valuable medal. It now appears that Rankin is a well
known professfonal runner, he having on several occaBnns
competed against professional runners for money prizes. The
Directors of the Alpine Club are highly incensed over the
matter and have asked U3 to state that Mr, R*nkia is not
and never was a member of this club. 'lhe supposition is
that some scheming person had the challenge put in with the
intention of making a little stake.

Capt. George W. Jordan, of the Olympic Club, has been
elected official handicapper of the P. C. A. A. A. He will
handicap the games of the different associate clubs in future.
The open events in the Alpine games will form his initial
task.

The Alpine Club has secured the Bay District track for
Sunday, May 4th, and will hoH their next out-door games
there on that date. The track will be put in splendid condi-
tion, so that the athletes will have a chance to make fast
time.

The coast records for three miles running and for two and
three miles walking are very poor, and there is no doubt but
that these records will be improved on May 4tb. The three-
mile run will be a very exciting contest between H. C. Cassidy
and F. L. Cooley, as both men are evenly matched. Jarvis,
Coffin and Gafney will possibly compete in the three-mile
walk on the same day. and a fine race may be expected.
Jarvis should certainly knock a couple of minutes off the
two end three-mile records.

To-morrow afternoon there will be a serieB of professional
handicap sprint races at the Central Park grounds, corner 8th
and Market streets. Some of the fastest men in America will
compete. The sum of $160 will be given for prizes. Daring
the coming season it is the intention of the managers of the
park to hold a series of long and short discance races there,
when several thousand dollai'3 will be paid out as prize
: money.

The athletic editor of a local weekly sporting paper, last
week asserted that Charles Little, of the Alpine Club, was no
other than the well-known Boston professional runner of the
same name. Mr. Little desires us to contradict this state-
ment, and informs us that his home is in Grand Junction,
Colorado. Mr. Little h?s been successful in several amateur
races, and has made very fast time, and he feels much put
cut to think that he is accnsed of being a professional. He
will represent the Alpine Club in the quarter and half-mile
races at the championship games on Deooration Day, and if
the directors of the club had the least idea that Mr. Little
was anything but a bona Ji.de amateur, his name would at
; once be stricken off the membership roll, for the club does
• not admit professional athletes into its ranks.

We are in receipt of a communication from Frank C.
Philips of Healdsburg, in which he informs us that he and
several other amateurs nf that town, are aV»ut to organize a
new athletic club. Mr. Philips says that the people of Healds-
burg take a very great interest in athletic sports, and that the
[ proposed club will no doubt be a success. The club will
apply for admission into the P. C. A. A. A.

The following schedule cf games has beeo arranged for the
amateur baseball championship of the Pacific Coast. AH but
the first game are to be played at the new grounds, which are
' Bituated at Emery station, on the Berkeley line. The first
came will take place this afternoon between the U. C. and the
. E. and O. E. teams on the campus at Berkeley All games
will be called at 3:15 p. m. sharp, except the game which is
scheduled for May 30fcb, which is to be called at 2 p M. The
Olympic Club team has dropped out, aud has been replaced
by the Anglo-Nevada Assurance Corporation team. All com-
' municationa should be addressed either to the president of
1 the league, W. H. Cbicberine, or to the secretary, Richard
Belcher. The schedule is as follows:
April 19th— E. and O. E. vs. A. N. A. C.
April 26th— Reliance vs. O. and E. O.
May 3d— TJ. C. vs. A. N. A. C.
May 10th— U C. vs. Reliance.
May 17th— U. C. vs. E. and O. E.
May 24th— TJ. C. vs. A. N. A. C.
May 30th— Reliance vs. E. and O. E.

May 31st— TJ. C. vs. Reliance.

June 7th— E. and O. E. vs A. N. A. C.

June 14th — Reliance vs. A. N. A. C.

With careful practice the TJ. C. team should carry off the
pennant.

The V. C. tennis courts are constantly filled with those
who are training for the class doubles which occur next
Wednesday. Twenty-five lockers are to be built for the mem-
bers in the dressing room by the cinder track.

President Davis of the TJ. C. has offered S100 for a trophy
for the winners of the relay races on field days. Messrs.
Lakeman, Stouey and Townsend of '90 and Ainsworth and
Allen of '91 will form a committee to select the design. The
trophy is to be given first to the team that won last field day.

The first "Ladies' Night" exhibition of the Alpine Amiteur
Athletic Club will be held at the club rooms, 706 Powell
street, on Tuesday evening next, April 8th, commencing at S
o'clock. The following iB the programme for the occasion:

1. Horizontal bar— Prof. G. C. Rouse (Club Instructor), E.
Barr. Russ and Eckbardt.

2. Boxing— W. F. Kennedy and W. H. Dooley, Hall Turn-
bull and Len Hueston.

Lafferty.

Flinging the 561b. weight and the individual tug of war
have been dropped from the P C A A A programme for May
30:h. The individual tug of war is never a very interesting
event and was properly dropped. The team tug of war, in
which four men of unlimited weight will be allowed to com-
pete on each side, will prove exciting This is a good chance
for the different clubs to put forward their big men.

THE WHEELMEN

The members of the San Francisco Bicycle Club do not ap-
pear to be taking a very active interest in racing matters just
now. The Bay City Wheelmen, as usual, are in the van, and
they are doing their best to arouse the other clubs to action.

The Oakland Bicycle Club is making rapid strides. Several
prominent wheelmen from across the Bay intend joining this
voung organization in the near future. Captain Drake is
very busy at present mapoing out a list of runs to come off
during the summer months.

G. P. Wetmore and several other member* of the B C W
recently made a successful run to Livermore and return.
They report the roads in fair condition.

The B. C. W. are on the lookout for a suitable lot up-
on which to build a club house. The club is now in a flour-
ishing condition having a membership of over one hundred,
and the members are of the opinion that the club should own
its own club hbuse.

The following card has been addressed to the members
of the California Division, League of American Wheelmen: —
San Francisco, March 25th. 1890.

The annnal business meeting of the California Division,
League of American Wheelmen, will be held in Sachem Hall,
Red Men's Building. 320 Post Street, on the evening of Sat-
urday, April 19th, 1890.

This meeting will consider the reports of officers and se-
lect the date and place for holding the annual meet of the
Division.

Any member may be represented by proxy, but no mem-
ber shall vote more than ten. Walter D. Sheldon,

Secretary and Treasurer.

At odd intervals during the past few year3 there has been
mention made of the formation of a separate and distinct
association of Pacific Coast wheelmen — separate from the L.
A W., of which the Pacific Coa^t now forms a division.
This project was at one time taken up Bomewbat enthusias-
tically by several prominent riders of this city on account of
the unfair manner in which the League treated this divis-
ion. The agitation, which they promised to bring forth good
fruits, was, however, allowed to die. But latterly the re-
spect for the L. A. W. has been gradually declining on this
Coast on account of the neglect with which the National
officers have treated the Pacific Division, and there is quite a
strong though quiet feeling in favor of the formation of a
distinct wheeling association.

Captain F. J. H. Manning of the San Franciscos is plan-
ning an active system of runs. While the roads are as yet
impassable in the country, owing to the mud, the very fir^t
date that they are tit to be travelled over a short run will be
called to Haywards or some near point. Tho first big run of
the season will take place, if the roads are in condition, about
April 5th, to Mount Hamilton, when the moon will be full.
The trip will be so arranged as to permit those taking it to
arrive at the summit of Mount Hamilton in time to have a
look through the great Lick telescope.

Another two day's run on wh'ch a number of men have
promised to go is through Nap* and Sonoma Counties. Cap-
tain Manning was over the roads last year, and pronounces
the journey one of the most delightful that can be taken
awheel.

Still another will be called through the Santa Cruz Moun-
tains. The start will be made eirly Borne Saturday after
noon and San Jos<* reached by dinner time. After dinner
the party will go to L03 Gatos. remaining there all night, and
make an early Btart for S*nta Crnz on the next morning.
The return will be made on the evening train to this city.

Bolioas and Pescadero are objective points for pmspective
ruuB. Both are splendid trip?, though requiring good stay-
ing powers in tho^e takiog them. BesHes all these^lhere
will be moonlight runs to San Jose. Sunday morning's jaunts
to the Cliff House for breakfast, and other enjoyable excur-
sions to near by points.

AT THE OARS.

Tne Pncifio Rowing Association will meet on Monday ev-
ening at 706 Powell Street.

The season will open on Sunday April 20 with the High
Jinks of the Lnrline Clnb.

The amateur crew will commence their coaching and
training to-morrow.

Champion Henry Peterson has been the victor in a series
of eight contests during the past week at the "Henley Re-
gatta."

We are awaiting r°turns from the party having tne man-
agement of the Victoria B. C. Regatta to be held on the
Queen's Birthday.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The next cross country run of the Alpine Athletic Club
will take place from Dexter Cottage, Sausalito, on Sunday,
April 13th.

The Alameda Olympic Club will give a party at its club
rooms on Lincoln Avenue, on the ISth of April.

The Olympic Club wi'l give one of its enjoyable "Ladies
Night" exhibitions at the end of the present month.

A general meeting of the Alpine Athletic Club was held on
Thursday evening. Final preparations were made for the
coming "Ladies Night " Several new members were elected
and E. P. Moody was elected a delegate to the P C A A A,
vice M. C. Giry, resigned. It was decide:! to engage Prof. G.
C. Rouse as gymnastic inBtruotor to the club. His class
nights will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week.

A meeting of the P C A A A was held at the Olympic Club
rooms on Friday evening, March 24th. J. J. McKinnon ap-
plied for reinstatement as an amateur. The ciEe was put off
until the next meeting, which was held last evening. Captain
G. W. Jordan was appointed Official Handicapper. Several
new rules connected with the A A TJ were adopted.

IN THE SURF.

In a couple of weeks the season will have fairly opened, al-
though for some time past many persons have been indulging
in daily dips in the open sea.

The Lnrline boys will do much towards booming this past
time during the summer months. The club will offer many
valuable prizes for competition.

The Alpine Club will also hold races at its Harbor View
Grounds.

TheTerrace Swimming Club has disbanded and will be re-
organized under the name of the Pacific Swimming Club. The
membership will be limited probably to fifteen and only first
clasi swimmers will be admitted to membership.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Jake Gaodaur is willing to row Hanlan any time before
July lBt for any amount up to $5,000.

The following records of the present holders of the various
lawn tennis championships will be of interest to all tennis
players: —

England — Champion, W. Renshaw; lady champion, Mrs.
Hillyard; double champioDS, E. Renhhaw and VV. Renshaw;

The Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Union held
a meeting on Sunday evening, March 15th, at the Astor
House, New York City. The application for reinstatement to
the amateur rankB of A. E. Mansfield of Worcester, Mass.; of
McNolan Watteawau of N. J., and Fremont Swain, of New
York City, were rejected, and that of Charles F. Hock of the
Syracuse Athletic Club wbb granted. The following clubs
were elected to membership: Yonkers Athletic Club, St.
George A C, Sixty. ninth Regiment A. C, and New Haven
A. C It was decided that the next championship field meet-
ing should be held at Washiogton, D. C, and that the Unioi
should pay the expenses of the baseball teams of the East and
West in travelling to play the games necessary to decide the
amateur championship of 1890.

The proposed international match between Thomas Pett-
itt, professional court tennis champion of the world, and
Charles Saunders, the English expert, who seeks to wrest
from the Bostonian the laurels he hns won, may now be con-
sidered as good as made. Pettitt has forwarded a draft for
$250 to the editor of the Loodon Sportsman, to bind the
match, and has engaged passage on the Consider Umbria,
which leaves New York on April I2tb. He will be accom-
panied by Fisk Warren, of the Boston Athletic Club, mem-
bers of which organization are finding the S2.5C0 constitu-
ting Pettitt's share of the stake to be contended for. The
Britisher seems thoroughly in earnest in his desire for a
meeting with the champion, and it is unlikely that he will
hereafter interpose acy obstacle to the ratification of articles
to the match, which will create great interest among players
of the game on both sides of the Atlantic.

From Chico.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I don't know enough
of sporting news to fill a postal card from our town as Chico
is not possessed of one thoroughbred sportsman. It has
rained entirely too much for the farmers in the Sacramento
Valley this year, (over 48 inohes already and still raining)
so times are dull and consequently no sport of any kind

Game was Bcarca the past season except in the foot hills
where it was driven down by the snow in the mountains.

There is a talk of having a pigeon shoot'ng match in Chi-
co this spring but I suppose it will be nothing but a local

YYttk tfllt

I would have liked very much to have been with yon when
thoBe Eastern sportsmen visited your city as I like to see
good shooting, and they must have been world-beatera m-
deed.

the voyage, a few small trays (the same as are used to hold
the sand and gravel, may be sown with seeds, such as rape,
mustard, or any quick-growing vegetable. The green food
thus produced should be cut for them from time lo lime, and
the sand and roots afterward thrown in the cages.

Distributing Brown Quails.

Editor Bkezdee and Sportsman:— I have just returned
from a little duck shoot and find yonr letter asking for a de-
scription of the ground on which I turned out the brown
quails sent by the Board of Fish Commissioners.

I met the birds at the depot, fed and watered them, and
forwarded them by the same train to Hon. Eichard Gird's
ranch, whicb is located just over the line between this and
San Bernardino counties.

I had previously arranged with Mr. Gird for their care, and
he turned them out in pairB placing from S to 12 in a place
in the most favorable parts of the ranch. Mr. Girds domain
consists of about 44,000 acres all fenced. A large portion of
it is low meadow land with an abundance of water, besides
thiB a large part of it is cultivated to grain, alfalfa, vines and
frnit trees. There is also considerable upland, covered with
low brush, affording the best of cover. In fact it is the very
ideal country for the propagation of either quail or rraine
chickens. I know of no ground in the state so well adapted
to these varieties of game. Besides these qualifications of
country Mr. Gird is par excellence the man to care for them.
He allows no shooting of any kind on his vast premises. He
is an enthusiastic game protectionist and a great admirer of
the feathered tribe. He is a man of large heart and gener-
ous impulses, always feeling well repaid for the small mod-
icum of fruits andjgram that hiB feathered fnendB destroy,
by the pleasure he experiences in knowing that he is adding
to their enjoyment and preventing their ruthless destruction .

My object in placing all the birds on this one ranch is that
their protection will be perfect, and that the place is so well
adapted to their wants. It will therefore always be a pre-
serve for their breeding, from which in future years when
their number haB increased, they can be trapped and dis-
tributed over other parts of this or other sections of the

State. . . -., , ■

1 am sorry that the Commissioners did not succeed in get-
ting Eastern quail and chickens for this season, as this same
ranoh would afford an excellent place for them.

[Eastern birds have been contracted for and will Boon be
here.— Ed ]

I shall try and make arrangements with the owners of
Catalina Island for its use for the propagation of wild tur-
keys. They could be reared there in large numbers and
then distributed on the main land.

Let ne here whisper in your ear that the Breeder and
Sportsman is just a little slow in not prodding np our Hon-
orable Fish Commissioners to more active work in procuring
game for the State. The truth is they have let more than a
whole year go by and might have accomplished more. 1
know that they think that I kick too mnch, but the only way
to make a success of anything is to take hold of it and do it
at once. .

How are the dog men feeling about our coming Bhow; Are
they going to come down in force and give us a boom? We
want to make the Los Angeles show a fixture and I believe
that we can do it if we follow tho course that we have adopt-
ed and keep within lines on the question of expenses.

The Pacific-Union Club, beside being the moving spirit in
all prominent social events, is also an institution thoroughly
en rapport with aquatics, athletics and field sports of all
other legitimate sorts. Those meinbere of the club who fancy
trap shooting, recently organized what is styled the Country
Club. The olub meets once or twice in each week at the Oak-
land Trotting Park, and shoots a few pigeons, in a friendly
way. It does Dot especially care for a large attendance of
spectators, and is in other respects quite exclusive, but its
meetings are most delightful, because of the abandon of the
men, and the constant cross-fire of ohaff. The shooting
done is usually good, and some of the members are quite the
equals of the best expertB in the other shooting clobs of the
city . The revised rules of the American Shooting Association
are followed with the utmoBt strictness.

On Friday afternoon of last week an informal meeting was
held, sides being ohosen and a match shot for the evening's
dinner. The best work of the day was done by Mr. W. B.
Tubbs, whose twenty-one out of twenty-four hard birds were
grassed in neat style, the second barrel being used but little.
Mr. R. B. Woodward made the only clean score. Mr. Ramon
E. Wilson, Mr. A. C. Tubbs and Mr. Worden ran up seven
out of eight.

Mr. A. S. Tubbs was the eleventh man, and was chosen by
one team, and four birds allowed the other team, for him, iD
each match.

Hon. J. Downey Harvey, m intervals between jokes, did
some handsome shooting, and the same remark is applicable
to Mr. J. D. Redding, although the work of the latter was
uneven Some of his kills indicated nnuBual ability, and
some of the hirds which escaped him suggested carelessness,
Mr. John M. Adams shot in bad lock, as did Mr. "i'red-
erioks," both losing many birds dead ont of bounds. Mr.
Fred Webster was very handy with his gun. but got some
birds too strong for aDyone to stop.

Mr. A. S. Tubbs, the new man at the game, did some of
the beBt work, particularly with the second barrel. The
scores were: —

3. N Bailhaohe reports the brown quails recently liberated
on his place Bouth of Healdsburgb as doing well. They were
liberated near the spring baok of his residence instead of Lit-
ton Springs. The Commissioners and Mr. Bailhaohe join in
requesting that the birds be not disturbed aud especially that
parties will not thoughtlessly or carelessly shoot them.

Instructions About Transporting Pheasants,

Quails. Etc.

The present general interest taken in stocking California
with pheasants, brown quails and other desirable birds
makes any information about care in transporting them valu-
able. The most exhaustive and sensible suggestions yet no-
ted are these, wbioh we transcribe from our valued exchange
Shooting and Fishing:

1. For exportation, birds bred or reared in captivity
should, if possible, be procured; but, if this cannot be done,
the following rules Bhould be attendtd to as regards wild-
caught birds: —

2. As soon as the birds are captured, the feathers of one
wing and of the tail should be cut off tolerably olose to their
bases. The birds should be placed in a room lighted only
from a skylight above, snd having tbe floor sprinkled with
gravel or sand, mixed wifh tnfts of grass and roots and a lit-
tle earth. Among theBe the food should be thrown. A tame
bird placed with the wild oneB is ft great advantage, because
this bird will induce tbe new captiveB to feed. The birds
should be kept in this way until they have beoome tame and
are fit to be transferred to tbe packing-cases.

3. The food should consist of grain and seeds of various
kinds, berrieB, fruit, insects, green food (such as cabbage,
lettuce, etc.), bread or soaked biscuit, chopped meat, boiled
eggs, etc.

4. TravelliDg-cages are most conveniently made of an ob-
long shape, divided into compartments about eighteen inches
square, and not higher than just sufficient to allow the birds
to Btand upright in them. They should be boarded all
around except in front, where strong wire netting may be
employed; although, if the birds are at all wild, wooden
bars, close enough to prevent the inmates from escaping be-
tween them, are preferable. _

5. Every compartment should have the top on the inside
padded with canvas, a«, if this is not done, the birds are
very liable to injure their heads by jumping upward.

6. A movable feeding-trough should be fixed along the
front of each compartment; one-third of this should be lined
with tin, pitch, or otherwise made to hold water; the remain-
ing two-thirds will hold the food.

7. Coarse Band or gravel should be kept strewn on the
bottom of the cages, and a supply of this Bhould be sent
along with the birds, as it is necessary to them for the heal-
thy digestion of their food.

8. The front of tbe cage should have a piece of coarse
canvas to let down as a blind to keep the birds quiet; and,
in order to give them air, round holeB should be bored at the
back of the box in tbe upper part.

9. The box should be cleaned out when the birds are fed,
through the opening in front made by removing the feeding,
trough, care being taken that this opening is not wide enough
to let the birds escape.

The most recent experiments with smokeless powders have
been made at instance of the English government by Sir
Frederick Abel, an authority in such matters, and his con-
clusions may profitably be studied. Four years ago smoke-
less powder of extraordinary power was said to have been
introduced with the Lebel rifle in France. It has since
transpired, however, that several successive experimental
compositions were tried with this rifle. Guncotton pure and
simple was tried by Sir F. Able for small arm cartridges for i
some years with marked but not uniform success. Great ad-
vances were made, however, on Von Lenk's achievements
with guncotton, and the adoption of guncotton as an explo-
sive was then achieved by Sir F. Abel, and, though not as a
military propellant, it has been used with great success in
sporting cartridges. Colonel Schultze of the Prussian Ar-
tillery, has brought in the sporting powder identified with
his name, consisting of wood converted into nitro-celluloBe.
In its best form this closely resembles a granulated nitro-
cotton powder made at Stowmarket. Absolute smokeless-
ness was not, however, attained, nor a high degree of accu-
racy. The smokeleBs powder of MeBsrB. Johnson A: Borland,
and of the Smokeless Powder Company, are well established
compounds in England. Camphor has been used with suc-
cess to harden the surface and close the pores of the powder
granules now used. In French and German emokeleBS pow-
ders, acetic acid and acetone have been used, not merely to 'I
harden the tablets or granules, but to convert them into
hornlike material. The first powder used with the Lebel
rifle took the form of yellowish brown tablets as thin as stout I
note paper. .The composition was made a mjBtery of, bet I
apparently it contained picric acid — the basis of melinite. The']
powerful and much vaunted French explosive employed in
shells has for its basis picric acid, which was first used by I
Designolle about twenty years ago.

The earliest smokeless French powder undoubtedly fulled!"
in the quality of stability, and has been superseded by«l>
simpler compound. German powder of great promise, elft- 1
borated at the Bothwell powder works, failed from the sam<
defect of instability. Guncotton of slow explosive power bftB,
by the use of solvents, been converted into hom-ltke mater,
ial, and pressed into the shape of rods, tubes, sheets, ant.
other forms, which may be cut up into tablets or strips a,
any required shape. Mr. Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dyna
mite and other powerful blasting agents depending on nitro
glycerine for their basis, also made smokeless powder basse}
on guncotton in the above form, bearing considerable resem
blance to his blasting gelatine. Col. Hess, in Austria, ren
dered this substance leBS susceptible to accidental explosioi
by the incorporation of camphor previously used in the man
ufacture of the curious substitute for ivory, horn, eto , kDowli
as xylonite. Mr. Nobel has had some Buccess in Italy witl
his smokeless powder, with which Krupp is also said to b
experimenting. The government committee on explosive
have used Nobel's powder aud others in the form of wire t.
and rods in bundles in small arms with excellent resnlteM.
The mOBt promising of them, besides fulfilling the conditionlf
of smokelessness and stability, has developed muoh greatel.
energy in small-bore arms.

Considerable erosive action is produced, and the arm i
heated, while but little fouling is produced. Success wil
small arms Beems on the eve of attainment with smokelei
powder, and its application to larger barrels of from 1.85 ir
to 6 in. in caliber ib attended with less difficulty. Probabli
the form of the gun will need modification, the pressure
the chamber being less and in the bore greater than wit
black powder. In onr service the need of resisting climati
action of all kinds involves unusually great difficulties,
modifications in our syBtem of magazines may be necessii
ry.

As to the effect on operations of war, much lioense has bee
given to the imagination as to results arising from the pi
of powder from which noise as well as smoke has been elin
mated. This has no foundation, the noise of smokeless pov
der differing only from that of black ponder by being ratbi
Bharper and of shorter duration. German field goes an
our own experimental pieces are fired with powder generatil
a very slight smoke, like the puff of a cigar, whioh is instsn
ly dissipated. Independent rifle firing is not visible at 81
meters distance. Tbe main effect in battle will be to increa
the elements of calculation, leaving less to chance.

A match at blue rocks between the clubs of Healdsboq
and Windsor in Sonoma Coanty is imminent. A meetil
was held ot Healdsburgh last Friday evening to reorgani
the gun club of that city.

The Blue Rock Club meets this afternoon at Bird's Poii
which plaoe is reached by the 1:15 p. M. boat on the Son
Paoific Coast Railroad system. Both the March and Ap
scores will be shot off, at 15 single Blue Rock targets ar*"
pairs. ;

The first matoh for the Selby medal representing the Bl
Rock championship of Central California for 1890, will
shot at Oakland Trotting Park on tome day in the preaa
month, probably the last Saturday. The match this yi
will be at 30 single and 10 pairs of Blue Eock targets, Ame
oau Shooting Association rules; entrance $2.50.

Leon Meyn, better known as Leon Martin, the ohanipi
rifle shot of Hoboken, would like to make a matoh with a:

Piscivorous Cows.

Last year's was the largest salmon pack in British Colum-
bia, and the run was one of the largest ever known to have
occurred. Cayoosh creek ig a small stream dropping into the
Fraser about 200 mileB from its mouth. For over three miles
the 6a!mon in trying to asoend the slream were so thickly
crowded togeiher that one might kill aDy number by pushing
a pitchfork into the water. Old Indians say they never saw
such a ste»dy run of Balraon night and day as went up that
stream for those three months, nor Buch a mass of dead ones
floating down So thick were they, that when the water
receded, the shores were lined with the dead. About two
miles up the river is a lake, and at the foot of it the salmon
were piled a foot deep. The wind blowing up the lake dashed
the water and the salmon up on the shore, mangling them
into a confused mass, which afterward putrified, oausing the
death of (he other kinds of fish. The wonderful part of the
story is that along Cayoosh oreek the cattle have developed a
taBte for salmon. Some cows have been known to eat bacon,
but in Lillooet they eat salmon with apparent reliBh, prefer-
lin<* them to bunch grass, and thrive upon them. So plenti-
ful°was the supply, that the animals became choice in their
use of this strange viand. The salmon on the shores were
too dry for them. The cows have been seen to walk into the
stream where it is shallow, catch live salmon and eat them
with relish, the latter wriggling their tails lustily as they go
down to— the bottom of the cow's belly. Several visitors to
the creek have seen the occurrence, but not wishing to secure
the fame of being the boss fish liars, have refrained from
relating the story. But the foregoing was given us by a reli-
able resident of the vicinity, who vouches for its correctness
in every particular, and inviteB any doubters to visit the
oreek and investigate for himself. It is stated, too, that the
lacteal fluid is quite sweet, and does not taste a bit Siwashy.

[There's nothing more to guess until some SiwaBhwbo does
not fear the future, writes about salmon which eat cows.— Ed.]

Keen Sport.

The Paoific Coast offers some sea fishing that is calculated
to test, alike the oourage and the strength of the fisherman,
such as trolling for bonita. barracoota, and jew-fisb, but it
is probable that no such grand fighter as the tarpon is to be
■ hooked in local waters. Mnch has been written of tarpon fish-
ing but perhaps the most graphic tale is one contributed to
' The Weeks Sport, by one of its talented staff who says "Tne
! Tarpon is the Monarch, and when a fisherman strikes him
: he catohes a veritable Tartar, besides whom even the shark
'is mild and gentle. I had heard so much of the prowess and
savagery of this fish from the Florida fisherman that I was
extremely desirous to tackle one; so I hired a native, who
:fnrnished boat, tackle, and a life-long experience. Just at

• the spot where the swell and sweep of the billows came heav-
'iest, the native checked the boat and fold me to get ready.
'The' line was of the best hemp, aboot half an inch in diam-
eter. One end was tied to a steel chain some two feet long,
'to prevent the oord being cut by the scales on each side of

the creature's jiw. A shark hook was attached to this chain;
; the barb was baited with a live mullet. I dropped the line
and the heavy sinker carried it. many fathoms deep. I asked
the native, in my innocence, if he wasn't going to fish, too.
He grinned and laughed until the boat quivered from Btern
to stern. When he got bis breath he said. "Jea you wait
until a jew strikes."

Well I had not long to wait. The lme was resting idle and
■inert one moment. The nest, Great Cmsar! it seemed as if a
sub-marine comet had hooked on to the lower end and was
going at the rate of a million miles a minute. I dropped it
as quiok as I would a red-hot poker. I would have as soon
|*eized a line attached to a whale bound on a special express
lor the North Pole. The only thing I held was my breath.
liThe cord which was coiled in the bottom of the boat was
[whizzioe out the stern with frightful rapidity. Suddenly it

t ae jerked his old slouch hat from his head; make a turn in
< hat line and hang on like all creation. I'll help you as soon
' is I find whar that air Jew is heading. I twisted the hat in
i i double knot in the rope, and waited all eyes to see what
1 vould turn up next. All at once I perceived a silvery gllt-
- ering body jump at least eix feet in the air, describing a
I leantiful parabolic curve before it struck water. Then there

1 '.ound front I had been bragging of hooking. Had I got the

- ah, or had the fish got me? It was like the song of the old
5 arkey that was drowned by a huge drum fish:

••And the people who found thera could never tell,

iTHth all then thluking and fleurlnf:,
Whether the nigger a fishing went, or the fieh that
Went a niggeiing."
Certainly. I felt as small as a dog tied to the tail-board of a
' inr-horse wagon. Like the man who swung on to a mad
' 'nil's tail, I gripped tight, because I was afraid to let go, but,
J nlike him, I was not worrying over whether the tail would
1 old or not. The boat careened fearfully. My hat blew off.
I ad my hair seemed as if it was going to keep it company. I
j.ivea hasty glance backward; the native was Btretohed
:' ight, his eyes towards the sky, as if be had bidden farewell
' i earthly things, but I saw his jaws moving aB he coolly
? ;iewed his quid, and that gave me courage. I thought if
lat three hundred pounds of steel, whalebone and deviltry
nt had the other end of the line in his mouth and was drag-
1 eg the boat oceanward could not prevent that native from
isnrely turning with his tongue a piece of tobacco from one
leek to another— then he was not such a "terror" after all.
. | It braced me up. Still, I thought, if we go on as this rate
"• , speed we will soon doable Cape Horn or strike the Straits
'" Magellan. I shut my eyes tighter and clutched the cord
;j ]l I knew how. This scaly imp of Satan carried the boat
■ rough the heaving swells as straight as an arrow, and Bev-
el times it Beemed as if the overhaneing orests would swamp
i. I slmott gave np the fight and hope too, and made some
tod resolutions fnr the fntuie.one BmoDg them that 1 would
iverlie about tbe '.enf,th c,i a fish— and the best proof is
at I had this fish meiBured in the presence of three wit-
and sworn to, and hiB length was exactly six feet four

inches. Again the line relaxed, and I devoutly hoped that
the infernal fish had gotten loose. But the native shouted
to me to gather up the slack and be certain not to let go. A
succession of lugs and wrenches of the line showed that the
tarpon was savagely shaking the fastened chain like a terrier
does a rat. Now followed an ominous stillnesB. Pull up the
slack again, ordered the fisherman, and I reeled it in hand
over hand. About forty yards distant I could see plainly the
silvery sheen of the fish but a few inohes below the surface
of the water. A torrent of foam, and tbe raging, furious Jew
darted straight for the boat. Nothing but the coolness of the
native saved us from the shock. He seized the rudder and
gave it a twist. The boat was still forging ahead, and the
craft sheered off several feet. The tarpon struck tbe water
from a flying leap exaotly where tbeboat had been, and made
a report like a pile of bricks dumped in the sea, and lashed
around like an incarnate demon. Now tbe native's knowl-
edge came out strong. He pulled the fish by might and main
close to the boat and told me to lean on the gunwale of tbe
opposite side. In a second he had the gaff in its gills, and
he held on and let the fish fight himself to death. In aboot
a half an hour's frantic hammering the vanquished fish turned
belly upward."

Webber Lake will be opened for arjglers about June 1st,
and it is probable that the fishing will be good.

We Bhall be very glad to reoeive and publish notes of sport
by any angling readers who are making excursions during
these early days of the season.

Mr. Clarence A. Haight, Secretary of the Pacific Kennel
Club, is to spend May upon a ranch back of San Mateo, to-
ward Spanishtown, driving, fishiDg and building up gener-
ally. We suspeot he will have many visitors.

The best possible advice to offer those who desire to go
fishing for front is to "go aB you please." There is no choice
in streams; all are bank-full, muddy and unwadeable, ex-
cept at the headwaters, and there brush prevents good, com-
fortable sport. There too, no flies are "up" and no number
of fish can repay one for smearing himself with bait.

A mnoh needed adjunct to the attractions at Point Tiburon
has been added by Mr. B. F. Naphthaly, the well known
angler and sportsman of thiB city. Mr. Napthaly has made
his home at Tiburou for some time, and in a friendly way
has entertained scores of friends who happened that way to
fish. Now he has opened the Corinthian Cafe and Restau-
rant, where meals will be served to order at all hours and
lunches prepared for fishidg parties. The Corinthian will be
headquarters for yachting and fishing parties.

Deputy Fish Commissioner and Chief of Patrol F. P. Cal-
lundan visited San Jose, Los Gatos and Srnta Crnzlast week

in giving the Deputies information and showing them about.
At Santa Cruz, Mr. E. C. Williams, Secretary of the Hod and
Gun Club, was moat courteous, and extended the privileges
of the Club's rooms, beside devoting his time to the enter,
tainment and instruction of the visitors. Dr. Plant, Dr.
Bailey and other prominent citizens were called upon, and
much good done in the way of arousing proper interest iD
the work of the Board of Fish Commissioners.

Aboot May 1st the rook-cod season will be in full blast.
Th6 indications of good fishing are already very pronounced,
as the fish appear to be more plentiful in the bay this year
than for many seasons past.

The interior creeks are affording excellent trout fishing.
Some of the creeks that have been fruitless for years are
fairly swarming with speckled beauties. Many anglers who
have lately been up in the vicinity of Pescadera, report good
sport and lots of fish.

Plurality of Sires.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Is it possible for a slut
to give birth to a litter of pups, by a plurality of sires. For
instance.— A setter slut^B stinted to a ball, a oar, and a
pointer. Will the pnps be a mixture of all the above breeds;
or will they be a cross between one of the above named dogs
and the sleet. A Subscriber.

Answer. — It is possible, and not uncommon, particularly
among street curn Tbe ovum which is fructified by a zoos-
perm from the bull dog will be half setter and half bull, tbat
impregnated by tbe pointer will be a dropper.

Mr. M. D. Walter writes from Gait that only the bad
weather has prevented his renewing his search for a suitable
kennel location near San Francisco. His grandly bred En-
glish setter poppies by Rodney— Phyllis II., are growing into
beauties and are already showing lots of quality.

On "Dad" Wilson.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— No doubt many of
your readers have heHrd ef Mr. B. F. WilBon of Pittsburgh
Pa , formeriy Presid^ut of tbe Eastern Field Trial Club; and
Mr, George T. Leach a worthy member of the same club — -
two genilemeu whom its a pleasure to call sportsmen. Here
is an amusing story about them, which was told the writer
by Mr. Leach while being pleasantly entertained by him in
New York several years ago. I was at High Point N. C. in
November 1884, while contending for first honors of the mem-
bers stake. The contest had narrowed down between the
two dogs owned and handled by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Leach.
The owners had agreed tbat the loser should pay for a bot-
tle of extra dry, and a gentleman of color followed them
with the refreshing bevarage in a silver ice cooltr. The un-
derstanding being that tbe winner was to be toasted upon
tbe field soon as the beat was decided. The dogs were about
equal in points and backs one more point would cause the
cork to be pulled. A bevy was flushed, Leach being the
younger, with eyesight more clear, marked them down cor-
rectly. His dog the Irish setter Brock, bad been broken to
point at command. As they neared the bevy Leach called
his dog to heel, then ordered him on, when he thought be
had gotten near enough to the birds Leach called out "Brock
what are you doing, steady my boy," when Brock well nnder-
standi g his owners wishes, drew himself up on a nice point.
The claim was made' the birds to order were flashed, the
dogs taken up. and the race and cup awarded to Brook and
his owner. The ice cooler was brought forward, the bottle
opened, and the throats of the Judges and owners were re-
freshed at Mr. "Wilson's expense. C. M. Munhall.

Cleveland, Ohio.

Our exchange, the Fanciers Journal, stroDgly urges the
consolidation of the Pacific Kennel Clnb and the California
Kennel Club.

Working Scotch Collies are advertised in another column
by Mr. W. A. "Wickham of Tipton, Cedar County, la. Fash,
ionable blood slrains are utilized.

Those who own setter or pointer puppies whelped on or
after January 1, 1889, should enter them in the Pacific
Coast Field Trials Club Derby. Entries close on May 1st
next; $5 forfeit; and the names, oolors and descriptions of
the dogs should be sent before tbat date to the secretary of
the club, at 313 Bush street, San Francisco.

Mr. E. H. Hasher rncently Bhowed as an English setter
bitch procured from Mr. Hatoh of Gold Hill, Nev. The
bitch is well formed, beautifully marked, and of great quality.
In breeding it is closely related to the noted Bohemian Girl,
being by Duke (Count Noble — Mollie Belton) out of Countess
Mollie (Dan — Mollie Belton). The field qualities of the bitoh
have not been fully developed, but are promising.

The Pacific Kennel Club will meet on Wednesday evening
next at the office of the President, Mr. Ramon E. Wdson, at
419 California street, third floor. Those members of the club
who have neglected it and remained away from meetings, will
do well to attend, or they are likely to hear something drop.
The few men whose time, energy and money have sustained
bench 6how interests in San Francisco, are about ready to
reorganize the Pacitic Kennel Club, and cat off the drones,
whose only activity is manifested at bench show times. A
club of two workers is better than one of fifty pretenders.

A bit of good news for all who favor square Bport at the
field trials is tbat Mr. Robert T. Vandevort returned to Cal-
ifornia on Tuesday last. For four months he has been in
Peru and Chili looking up manganese ore to be used in the
manufacture of Bessmer steel by tbe Carnegie plant at Pitts-
burgh. Mr. Vandevort was accompanied by Mr. R. L. Hurst
a mining expert, and tbe pair tell very funDy stories about
that singular region where Colonel North the '-Nitrate King"
is practically the autocrat. A land of rocks along the coast,
with rich valleys inland, which only need water to make
them equal to any land in productiveness; cultivated in a neg-
lectful way by a population which is satisfied, if only'it can
keep tbe vital spark glowing. The country is not one to at*
tract warm regard, exoept from those who chance to be able
to handle at a profit the mining and fertilizing interests.

Mr. Vandevort saw abd studied tbe "Cbili partridge,"
which the Fish Commissioners at one time fancied for intro-
duction to thiB State. The bird is about as large as the
mountain quail; is brown in color, frequents grassland near
grain farms in bevies of five or seven; lies well to tbe dog,
and is a good table bird. In Chili it is not abundant, and in
tbe markets costs the equivalent of fifty cents per bird. Mr.
Vandervort does not consider it a desirable addition to tbe
fauna of the State.

Two months of life maintained by tbe national dishes,
"oazuela," a hotchpotch, and "charquican," a stew, brought
the distinguished pointer man down to lighting form. Not
an ounce of superfluous flesh, but Mr. Vandervort is 6till tbe
Bam« keen, likeable little man whose absence was bo mnoh
regretted at the last field trials.

A few days ago an incident oceurred in a village near Tbirsk
of a our dog having been sold at so mnoh per lb. live
weight- One of the inhabitants had takeu a great fancy to a
ueigbourioB farmer's cur dog, and as the aDimal was an ex-
cellent worker amongst ptock he was greatly valued by his
master. The parties could not agree upon any definite price,
and at last the villager offered to give tbe farmer 5s. per lb.
for bis dog live weight. The farmer accepted the offer, but
begged that he should be allowed to keep the dog a week be-
fore be delivered him, ThiB was agreed to. and on the fnrnier
getting bis dog horre he laid him off work and set about
feeding him up. On the delivery of tbe dog it is needless
to say tbe purchaser was somewhat astonished at the weicbt
of "Laddie," he having put on a considerable amount of
flesh with his Beven day's holiday.

U-rim's Gossip.

Palo Alto Stock Farm has made a large number of entrieR
for the Terre Haute Trotting Meeting, which begins October
7th, 1890.

It will be seen by the letter from onr Los Angeles corre-
spondent that Protection will not start for the Kentucky
Derby.

Mr. Boucher of Woodland, Tolo Co., has a brother in blood
to Tolo Maid for sale, and as he is a fast pacer there should
be no trouble in finding a purchaser.

A climax, has been reached in naniiug colts: H. A. Moyer
of Svracuee N. Y., has Darned a youngster "William L. Sul-
tan." He is by Snllan 2-24 dam Susie C. C, by William L.
sire of Axtell 2:12. '

Geo. A. Vigoolo writes me that he fully expects to trot
his home "What Ho" in 2:20 or better this summer, and as
he is eligible to the "30" class he will be a warm customer
for some of the green horseB to meet.

That good old brood mare Mineral, by Spendthrift, slipped
a foal by St. Savior on Mar h 17th, and Una. by Daniel
Boooe, had a bay tilly by imp Greenback on March 23d. Dr.
Aby reports the stalliond in good fettle, and grass plenty.

A letter from Lexington, informs me that Alfred G. arrived
in first class order, and that he has been much admired by
the many who have paid " Woodlawu'* a visit during the past
week or two. The well known Anteeo is also at the same
farm.

Mr. Corbitt cf the San Mateo Stock Farm, has added to his
brood mare list by purchasing from A. L. Whitney of Peta
luma, a two year old filly, by Dawn, dam by Auteeo, the
price paid being $1,000. Crossed with Guy Wilkes, the pro-
geny should be as fast as the wind.

W. H. Wilson of Cynthiana, Ky., mnst have foreseen the
great run there was goiDg to be on the Moor blood when he
purchased Soltan, in 1SS6 from Mr. Rose. At any rate he
is fast accumulating a lot of youngsters by that noted sire
that will add fame to Abdallah Park.

The Lakeport people are determind to make the fair of
1S90 a big success. An exceedingly good speed programme
has been, arranged and generous purses are offered. Mr. Mc-
Cutcben has Fent a number of entry blanks to this oflBee,
where they may be had on application.

A, C. Henry of OakUnd, has purchased from A. J. Mc-
Govern of the same city, a brown mare by Wissahicken 647,
dam by Winthrop 505, 2nd dam by Chieftain 721; 3rd dam by
Billy "Wallace, etc. The mare has a foal at her side by Direc-
tor, but the colt does not eo with the purchase.

Atalanta WilkeH (alwavs a favorite of mine) has been
speeded on the snow at Pittsfield, Mass., and proved herself
fit to travel with the best of the Eastern horses. I shall be
sadly disappointed if Ed Bither fails to make a low mark with
the daughter of Guy Wilkes and Atalanta this Beason.

My readers should remember that if a letter be sent to Dr.
Jones, the veterinary editor, for advice, that a fee of two
dollars should accompany the note. When letters are sent
direct to this office, then the answers are published through
our columns, so that all mav be benefited thereby.

Jas. McNassar. of Sacramento, has sold to W. E. Holloway,
the colt San Yictor, 3 yrs. old, by Young Bazar, dam Lizzie
P. by Leinster; Lady Delia, 3 yrs. old, by Langfield, dam
Maud Turney by Harry Bluff; Lillias. bay filly 4 yrs. old, by
Norfolk dam Madam Turney by Harry Bluff; and they have
been shipped to Yalpariso, Chili, South America,

We would warn onr Montana and Oregon friends to look
out for a bay gelding \5h hands high, star in forehead, good
mane and tail, carries his head rather high when trotting,
is a very bad scorer, but fast when once Btarted. It is just
possible that he may be seen in California before the season
ends. The horse iB Pawnte 2:21 J, lately sold by his owner
to suspicious parlies.

Col. Harry I. Thomtoo has been fortunate enough to have
his tine brood mare Adina drop a filly foal to Director 2:17.
Adina is by Electioneer, dam Addie Lee (dam of Grace Lee
2:29*,), by Culver's Black Hawk, grandam Old Nancy; Baid to
be by Morrill 850. As will be seen, Adina is full sister to
Adair 2:17i, and if the lately foaled filly is not a trotter,
pedigrees and fast time go for nothing-
After all the amount of talk there has;been between the rival
pacer owners, the following squib from the Terre Haute Ex-
press seems Bomewhat strange: "Mr, L. A. Davis, owner of
Boy Wilkes, 2:12£, ba9 written from California engaging fif-
teen boxes. He will ship his string to Terre Haute with Orin
Hickok about the middle of April " We are inclined to dout t
the statement that the two great pacers will travel in the
same car.

California is once more to the front. On Monday evening
April lBt, at 10.30 p. m., Trinket 2:14 gave birth to a hand-
some bay filly, small star, both hind ankles white, by Stam-
boul 2:12}. Sam Gamble writes me chat Trinket had a hard
time, as the foal was turned (head inwards) and left fore leg
turned under. It seemed for a time that she oonld not be
saved, but at last accounta mother and daughter are doing
well. This filly is the fastest combination of speed that has
ever been foaled.

As was noticed last week, Col. Thornton has purchased
Grand Moor 2374, by The Moor 870, dam Yashti by Mam-
brino Patchen 58; 2d dam Kate Taber by Mambrino Messen-
ger, son of Mambrino Paymaster, Since his arrival at Oak-
land, he has been visited by many of the prominent breeders
of the State, all of whom ppeak of the horse in eloquent
terms, and many have booked mares to him. As this seems
to be the great fashionable blood of the present day, it goes
without saying that the book of Grand Moor will fill almost
immediately.

Mr. Charles L. Fair, son of ex-Senator Fair, has joined the
P. C. T. H. B. A., and will eodeavor to breed trotters equal
to any. The gentleman has lately purchased Oakland Maid,
2;22, by Speculation 928, dam Lady Vernon. Queen, by
Garibaldi (son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian), dam by Royal
George, he by Royal George 9. This mare, over whom there
has been much controversy, was bred by Wells Yeily, Pleas-
ant Valley, Duchess County, N. Y. Mr. Fair has also bought
a two-year-old filly by Woolsey (full brother to Sunol) dam
Oakland Maid. Queen is in foal to Eros. The purchases
were all made from JameB L. Flood. The price given is not
stated.

The Directors of the Monterey Agricultural Association
held a meeting on March 24th, a full board being present.
It was determined to hold the fair of 1890 from Sept. 30th to
Oct, 4th inclusive. $1500 was appropriated to enlarge the
pavilion and a committee appointed with full power to act.
The race track has been plowed and harrowed, and it was
determined to have the track resurveyed, as it is claimed that
the course is considerably over one mile. A committee was
selected to prepare the speed programme, consisting of M.
Lynn, B. V. Sareent and H. S. Ball. The outlook for the
fair being a great success could not be better, and the resi-
dents of Salinas can rest assured that the exposition of 1S90
will surpass any ever before held.

It is rarely that a firm of the standing of Acker, Merrill &
Condit will give such an unqualified endorsement as they do
in the Bbeedek and Sportsman this week for Peruvian
Bitters, a tonic that from merit alone has a good reputation
on the coast. Wilmerding & Co. are the sole agents for the
Pacifio States, and those who are troubled with maleria, or a
disordered stomach, can not do better than try this excellent
remedy.

The mare will generally receive the horse Borne time be-
tween the seventh and twelfth day after foaling, and it is .
important to attend to that, as she does not remain in season I
long when suckling, and is more safe to conceive at that pe- !
riod than at any other time. While suckling the mare should
do no hard work, and if she is taken off her pasture at all
she Bhould be well fed at very short intervals, and tho foal .
fed with her and allowed to suck very often. The mare has j
no large retentive udder like the cow, no capacious stomaoh ■
to hold a day's supply of food, no power at any time to go \
long without food safely, so that when she has to eat and di-
gest for two, all her wants should be very liberally and very J
frequently supplied. It iB in every way better to leave her |
for the first few months in a good pasture to attend to her '
own requirements. The foal can be weaned at four months
old, but it will tell against its growth and size, so that unless |!
it is a pony tbat you want to keep small, it is better not
weaned until six months old.

The principal question asked by breeders throughout the
State at present is: "Will Hickok go back East this year?"
All are anxious to secure the services of the noted reinsman
if he is going to stay, but it looks at present as though Orrin
would journey toward the rising Bun, and that with a really
good stable. He has not stated positively as yet whether he
will go or not, but appearances point Btrongly toward a
journey.

Last week attention was called to the fact that two horses
were standing for Bervice, one in Oregon and the other in
this State, the Bame age being claimed for both, and also a
like pedigree. It now transpires tbat the horseB are full
brothers, the one in Oregon being a four year old, while the
one standing at Pleasanton is a year older, the advertisement
from the latter place containing a clerioal error, which is cor-
rected in this issue.

In the Gossip column last week there occurred a funny
blunder in speaking of the stallion lately purchased by John
Mnckey for J. B. Haegin, Esq. The sire of Mary Hunter was
given as being by Gny Wilkes when it should have been by
Guy Miller. Mistakes will occur at times, but we are pleased
to be able to say that fewer errors creep into the columns of
the Breeder and Sportsman than into any Boorting paper
in the United States.

The yearling filly Moqnette that was purchased by the Her-
mitage Stud and taken across the continent in company with
the celebrated Bow Bells, is not doing as well in her new
Tennessee home as could be desired. She contracted a cold,
it is said, which has caueed distemper. This filly is by Wil-
ton, the great eon of the renowned George Wilkes, dam Alma
Mater, and was foaled at Mr. Hobart's farm, the mare being
in foal when he purchased her.

With a very free horBe it is desirable to cautiously accus-
tom him to the sound and feel of the whip lightly drawn
across him so as not to hurt him at all. This will prevent
him from rushing whenever you take the whip in hand, and
make it possible to touch up a slug by his side. A slow, easy
going horse on the other hand, should never feel the whip
upon him except to hurt him. Ladies and tender hearted
drivers often do great mischief to such horses by constantly
fiicking at them until the horse cares no more for the whip
than he does for his own tail. With such horses a pretty
heavy whip Bhould be used, and used not often but so that
they will feel it and know what it means. A horse tbat will
not move, and move quiokly to the whip, is neither peasant
nor safe.

On March 17th, Eohora2-23|, by Eoho 462, foaled at the
Glenview Stock Farm, Louisville, Ky., a large, strong, hand-
some black filly by Director, 2:17. This aristocratic young
maiden is a full siBter to Direct, three year record 2:23, four
year record, 2:18J, and is the property of Hickory Grove
Farm, Racine, Wis., by whom Echora was purchased at the
Kidd, Edmonson & Morse Chicago sale last fall for $6150.
Echora has been bred to Phallas, 2:13$, blood brother to
Director, 2;17, and Mr. Case is confident that this union will
prove eminently successful on the turf. He reports having at
Hickory Grove Farm a number of Phallas two and three year
olds which, under the care and handling of their new trainer,
Mr. R. E. Curry, will surely place the name of Phallas on the
list of sires of 2:30 colt performers.

The Horseman gives the following pen pictures of two well
known trotting horse breeders which will prove interesting: i

G. Valensin, owner of Sidney, is a short. Blender man, 1
dark-complexioned, and wears a slight mustache. Heiaal
neat dresser, very gentlemanly, is fond of a good dinner, and |
very sociable. Abb breeder of trotters and pacers of the first ;
rank, no man has been more successful, considering tbel
years Count Valensin has given to the pursuit. At the New I
York spring sales, the product of his farm has brought
remarkable prices, a state of affairs tbat were warranted by i|
the successes of Adonis, Gold Leaf, Faustinoaod Lougworth. i

Van B de Laahmutt, Mayor of Portland, Ore , and proprie- j
tor of Witch-Hazel Farm, is medium-sized, dark-complex-'
ioned, and wears a full beard. He dresses in plain black, is!
the architect of his own fortune, a Bhrewd business man, will
in time attain the higheBt political honors of his State, and U
one of Oregon's most progressive trotting-horse breeders. He
owns the stallions Hambletonian Mambrino and Pilot Cham-
pion, and has in his brood mare list bix with records betters
than2:S0.

KiUip & Go's Combination Sale at the Bay
District Track-

Last Saturday the four well known mares -Julia P by
Wheatley out of Mercedes; Dairymaid by Shannon out of
Mercedes; Comanche by Leinster out of Vivian and Sophie
by Bazir out ofSophie Jennison wereshipped to Sacramento
to be bred to E S. Culver's Three Cheers. The grandson
of the mighty Newminster 1b slowly but surely proving him-
self a sire among sires and why should he not be? He is a
son of imported Hurrah a highly successf al sire, he by Newmin-
ster whose fame will never die, out of Jovial by Bay Middleton,
as speedy and as great a progenitor of speed as any horse in
England. Three Cheer's dam is Young Fashion (the dam of
Hock Hocking, Liverpool and other well known horseB) by
imported Monarch out of Old Fashion the great four mile
heat mare. With such speed and stamina on both sides
of his pedigree Three Cheers fillies should be priceless.

I.

Two weekB ago the gossip column contained an item, sent
me by Charles Andrews of Milwaukee, telling of a mare that
had given birth to twins, one a mule colt and the other a horse
colt. I rather doubted the Btatemeot, but am afraid that 1
will have to back down in face of the following letter from
D. G. Hawkins of Vacaville.

"I see by my last paper that you seem to doubt a repor-
ters word about a mare having a mule and horse colt. I
can tell you about another case here which will bear out the
Eastern reporter. My brother had a mare last spring that
had twins, one a mule and the other a horBe colt; he bred her
to my Jack and brought her back on the ninth day as she
was still in season, but I refused to breed her, so he left in a
huff and bred her to a neighbors horse, and the result is as
above stated. If you would like to have this substantitted,
I can furnish all the proof necessary."

Peter Woods, a new comer to San Francisco, but of a
quarter of a century's experience, east of the Booky
Mountains, has located at the Bay District Track, and is
p'epared to take horses tor training purposes. "Pete" comes
highly recommended from Chicago, and those who have
aiready entrusted him with trotters, speak in the highest
terms of his capability. Mr. E. Topham, of Milpitas, has
sent up a Grosvenor colt, which is spoken of as a very sreedy
youngster, and which will be heard from in the slower claeses
this season. TheRancho Del Bosque is represented in the
Wood's stable by a mare called La Belle by Gibraller 1185,
dam Eleanor G by Billy Walker. She has a nice easy action,
and promises well. Sigoa is a grey filly by B lly Lyle, son of
Elector 2-.2l£. dam Tilly by Fairv (non of Joe Dake) owned
hy A. P. Wangh tbat Wood* is aloo handling. A gelding by
Altamont. who pnt five in the 2:30 list last year, is one that
the bettine fraternity Bhould watch as he gives every indica-
tion of being as fast as a ghost. Mil Woods should do well,
as he is thoroughly competent and a skillful driver:

Our Tennessee Letter.

Gallatin. Tenn., Mar. 26th.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman; — The bangtails on the
Tennessee and Kentucky tracks are being 6ent along at a
merry clip these spring-like mornings. Many horses at
Memphis are going at a winning clip for a short distance, but
they are not advanoed enough to go the entire circle. Yes-
terday at Memphis, Blaroeystone Jr., a derby candidate, waB
sent a mile in 1;50. He turned the half in 55 seconds, and
came home the remeirmer of the distance with his head
pulled over bis shoulders. Blarneystone is a handsome ani-
mal a very dark brown, and from his racing form in the
back end of last season, he has the making of a race horee.
The filly Helter Skelter was given a Bpin of a mile in 1;47|;
she carried 123 pounds, and did the mile in that time very
easily. Last spring she was considered as one of the best
! two-year-olds in the West, but she went amiss early in the
i season an i did not regain her form. Blue Blazes and Doher
j ty'e Tom StevenB were given a mile together in l;49jj. Both
1 horses finished strong, and Tom Stevens could have chipped
I several seconds off the time had Mat Monahau given him
: his head. The Chicago Stable including Jacobin, Huntrees,
Terra Cotta, Wrestler and Little Minch were out for an air-
! ing, but they were only speeded a short distance. Terra
' Cotta and Jacobin are yet nigh in flesh, and both seem to be
[better horses than at this lime last Beason, or when we saw
,them at Nashville. Riley, Jake Saunders, Ten Times, Irish
', Pat, Brookwood and Shoshone in Ed. Corngan's string did
some clever work. Jake Saunders and Riley are Corrigan's
■ Derby horses, and both are receiving a speoial preparation
ifor that event.

I Argenta, Stoney Montgomery, Artistic, Bonnie Tan, Okla-
homa, Big Three, Bertha aDd a host of two-year-olds were al-

| so given strong work, and any of wbich will be thoroughly

itit by the time the drom taps. It is only about twoweeks un-
the Memphis meeting begins, which marks the opening of the
racing season on this side of the Rockies.
At West Side Park, Nashville every thing is push and bus-

.tie. Trainers and horses are working early and late. Day-
light catches many of the trainers and horses upon the tracR,

tand the track is black with horses throughout the entire day.
The horses in the winter's string have only been given short

igalIop3, and I doubt if any of the string will be tit by the

I I time the Nashville meeting begins. El Rio Rey is the pic-
ture of good health, — no ill effects from his sickness at West-
chester oeing nerceptible. They do say thatBnford, by Bou-
levard, is going to cut a prominent 6gure in the Kentucky
Derby! He is a stayer and the Derby distance will just suit
him. It is said that Ophelia, by imp Glengarry, dam Ven-
ezula, is the best 3-year-old at Nashville, barring El Rio Rey.
She is moving like great guns, and she should get winning

.brackets at the spring meeting. Old Bndgelighl, a pretty
'fair horse, last season, never looked better than he does now.
'An offer of S7000 was recently refused for the brown son of
' Brigadier. He is now in John Greene's stable, and will doub-
i illesa prove a good bread winner for the Nashville turfman's
stable. . .

' An authoritv who is in a position to know says that at least
i ! 75 per cent, of "the brood mares in Kentucky, both trotting
. andthoroughbred, are either barren or have lost their foals
,this spring. The breeders attribute this great loss of foals to
the mares eating too moch of the rank grass the open winter
caused to grow so luxuriantly. This belief is partially sub-
stantiated by the fact that mares that were barn fed are
with few exceptions safe in foal. In Tennessee breeders
'have suffered but little of this strange freak of misfor-
tune at all the different breeding establishments mares
, have' been foaling since early in January, and so far I can
learn of but few instances where mares slipped their foals.
' The Scoggau string of horses are expected to arrive at
-Nashville any day. The stable of horses were announced to
'be shipped from Louisville Sunday, but a severe Bpell of
weather caused their -departure from the Falls City to be
delayed. The horses are Proctor Knott (that name makes a
Tennesseean go into epileptic tits), English Luck, Betting,
Good Bye. Ban Chief, Dollikins, National, Martha Washing-
ton Apexj G- W., and several other lesser lights. Proctor
Knott is said to be as sound as a dollar, and as good as he
ever was. A report gained currency that Knott "had a leg,"
and that he had entirely broken down. The blaze-faced son
1 of Luke Blackburn has not been given any strong work this
Spring, and as he is such a big, muscular fellow. I doubt if
he can'be prepared for his earlier engagements. Tennesseeans
will back him to a man in the Suburban Handicap at 15 to 1.
I hardly think he will face the Btarter in the Brooklyn Han-
dicap or at least one of the Scoggan brothers recently said
that he would not be taken East for that race. Mr. Scoggan
also sayB that Knott will not start for the Toboggan Slide
Handicap, which is run down the hill at Westchester. If
Knott is himself Suburban day, there is no horse living that
i can give him a race at the distance with the weight he carries.
Tennessee sports backed Knott in every race he started for
last season, and unless he pulls off the Suburban, this State
will "go broke."

Of all the newspaper comment about the probable winners
of the next Kentucky Derby, we have heard but very little of
that good colt Phcenix, in Billy Lakeland's stable at West-
chester. Phoenix is by imp. Mr. Pickwick, and is an un-
beaten horse. He started twice last year, and as many times
he won first brackets. He started at Lexington during the
spring meeting in a purse race, which he easily captured from
a good field. His next and last start waB at Latonia, where
he won the Harold Stakes after a hard finish. Phcenix was
bred at Fairview, and was purchased by Mr. Barnes of the
Melbourne stable. On Mr. Barne's retirement from racing,
Phcenix was sold at Lexington, together with The Lioness.
Gallifet, and other horses of that stable. He was purchased
by the ex-colored jockey Walker, who occupied the seat in the
pig-skin on Ten Broeck in his most noted performances.
; Mr. A. J. Cassatt af towards purchased the colt from Walker
for $5 000, and upon Mr. Cassatt's retirement, Billy Lake-
land's'bid of $4,600 bought him. He is a rather small colt,
but just the kind that improves, and if Billy Lakeland hap-
pens to come West with him, I expect to see him take the
trick. As is well koown, Lakeland's held of operation is
' entirely in the East, but the Kentucky Derby of this year
' will be worth coming after if he has a formidable candidate.
Another Derby entry, seemingly unnoticed, that looks to
have a chance is Honduras, a pretty fair colt. He showed to
be about as good last season as did others that are well
spoken of, and he should not be overlooked. Santiago, in
the same stable, suggests some consideration. TheKentucky
Derby has always been an uncertain race, and from the pres-
ent outlook, we are compelled to believe that a dark horse
may slip in and surprise us on Derby day.

The owner of Penn P., that good Powhattan colt, has been
giving him a special preparation for the Derby, thinking his
colt was eligible to start. He was surprised to learn a few
days Bince that his entry was void, and that he had been
rushing his oolt for no purpose.

"How about the Suburban?" is the oft repeated sentence
from every turfite's lips. The daily papers are full of "Han-
dicap GosBip." Tennessee, of course, has pinned her faith
to Proctor Knott, and Ca ifornia has a worthy representative
in Senator Hearst's Gorgo. Kentucky feels sure of victory
with Salvator, Kingston, Raceland and a few others. Ten-
nessee's representative, Knott, has repeatedly walked over
Kentucky's champion, Salvator — and he is reputed as the
equal to Kingston and better than Raceland — and if both
horses start, providing they are in condition, and consider-
ing weight, it looks very much like Knott and Gorgo at the
finish with a verdict for the former.

An Auction Sale.

Messrs. Killip k Co. of 22 Montgomery St. will sell at pub-
lic auction, at the Fair grounds, San Jose on Wednesday)
April 16th a lot of brood mares, trotting and draught hor-
ses, the property of D. J. Murphy, Esq. of Santa Clara Co.
Mr. Mnrphy has a great deal more stock than he has room
for and therefore is compelled to sell, and the chances aie
that those who go, looking for bargains, may be able to pick
up some real good ones at the sale. Among those we notice
in the catalogues are Pinafore by George M. Patchen, Jr. 31,
dam Prairie Flower by Williamson's Belmont, 2nd dam by
McClellan. Pianafore is a nice driving horse with good style
and conformation and her pedigree should recommend her to
any breeder; she is in foal to Sonde n (son of Sultan) 2:27}.
Elsie has been driven single and to the pole and should
make a fine mare for a gentleman's roadster, sue is by Rea's
Nutwood, dam Violet by Jack Patchen, 2nd dam, dam of
Quinn's Patchen.

Emma should make a good brood mare for all who believe
in the proper kind of a thoroughbred cross, she being by
imp. Hercules. Emma is now in foal to Dick Patchen;
drives single and doable and is a good serviceable mare.

Hattie has also been broken single and doable and is a nice
kind driver, she is by Tom Patchon, dam Queen by Joseph
(thoroughbred).

Hagar is a half sister to Hattie and has the same nervy,
high strung way of going, she ia by Dick Patchen, out of
Queen.

Eva is a five-year-old and is a' very speedy mare, showB
gameness and bottom, travels well single or double and no
road is too long for her, she has also been bred to Dick Pat-
chen and is due to foal about the time of tbe sale. Eva is
by Red Line, son of Wm. Welch, he by Rysdyk's Hamble.
tonian, first dam Fanny McDonald by Castor, 2nd dam
Pera by Sultan. (See Bruce's stud book).

Oneida is another fine driving mare and would make a
splendid animal for ladies' driving; she can trot close to
three minutes. Oneida is by Lame Deer, a son of Joe Dan-
iels, damLady Fisher by Capt. Fisher, 2nd dam by St. George,
3rd dam by American Eclipse, etc

There are a number of trotting colts, mares and geldings
in the catalogues by such sires as Dick Patchen, Rea's Nut.
wood, Grosvenor 1833, Billy Mathews, Harold CosBack 4402
and Billy Thornhill 8707. Many of these colts are richly
bred and will amply repay anyone who may be fortunate
enough to purchase one of the well bred ycungsters. There
is also a large consignment of draught stallions, mares and
geldings; one particularly that deserves mention, he being
Prince Albert, Jr. by imp. Prince Albert, (Clydesdale) dam
by imp. Clydesdale stallion, Pollock. Prince Albert Jr. has
taken first prizes at the San Mateo and Santa Clara Fairs
and never fails to carry away a prize whenever exhibited, and
his colts have taken first prizes in every class they were en.
tered in; all of his colts show good action, and kind dispo-
sition; as to size and weight they are all that eould be de-
sired, several of his colts running in the pasture until tbey
were three years old, weighing over 1600 lbs. one weighing
over 1700 lbs., these were not awkard or overgrown, but com-
pact, well formed horses.

Catalogues of tbe sale may be had by application to either
Messrs. Killip & Co. or D. J. Murphy, San Jose.

News From Santa Barbara.

A Nashville friend tells me rather a good story of Uncle
Bob,"* the famous old Belle Meade stud groom. It appears
that recently Col. Estill and Mr. Courtney of the California
Stable journeyed out to Gen. Jackson's place to see the year-
lings-

"Why, Uncle Bob, all your colts hold their heads pretty
high," said Mr. Courtney.

"Yes, sah," responded the oracle of BelleMeade-- "dey knew
de Californians was comin' to-day."

It would have put many a polished courtier to his wits
end to have paid a more appropriate compliment.

The thoroughbred colts from Colonel H. I. Thornton's
Ranco Resaca have arrived. The two colts were pnrohased
by John S. Bell and E. K. Den. The smaller colt of the two
is a bay foaled on March 16th, 1888. He is by imp. Parti-
san, dam Catalina by Wheatly. Catalina is as fashionally
bred a6 any mare. Her dam, Carrie C. has produced So-
brante, that won the Gano Stakes in 1887, and Sonoma, that
won the same stakes in 1888. This colt is named Sugar Plum.
The other colt will make a large gelding; he ie also a bay,
but with a white forehead. He is by imported Partisan, dam
Esmeralda. The pedigrees of imported Partisan, Catalina
and Esmeralda are too well known to repeat here. Suffice it
to say that in the pedigree of imported Partisan appears Poc-
ahontas, England's greatest producing dam, Harmony, King
Lorn, Sweetmeat, Mincemeat. Sweetmeat sired Mincemeat
and Mince Pie, winners of the Oaks, and Macaronie, winner
of the Derby and 2.000 guineas. If the pedigree assures run-
ning qualities, these colta will make a name for themselves.
Thev look like racers and will surely ron fast and strong.

The jockey Leu Eainey died at Santa Maria in this county
March 15th, 1890. Leu was a good rider and a young man
ofjadgment. His face will be missed at all the meetings in
Southern California. ^ T. M.

On account of his feeble condition, the great Bire, Pat Mal-
loy, will not be allowed to serve any mures this season. Mr
Brodhead thiok* that a year's rest, should he live that long,
will Bt him for limited stud duties in 1891. This great horse's
days, however, are numbered, and it is exceedingly doubtful
if be lives to see another winter. He has bad to be fed on
mashes and other soft food, as he has not a tooth in his
head. He will live in turf history as one of the most suc-
cessful stallions that Bprung from the loins of the great Lex-
ington. Among bis get are such noted turr lights as Ozark,
Blue Grass, Irish Pat, Gen . Harney and Favor. Pat Malloy
is 25 years old.

Mr. C. W. Aby's colt Rodman, two years by Rutherford,
dam Leverette, which was sent on recently to Pinccs, has
been transferred to Hyland's Stable, at Jerome Park, as Pin-
cos had no room in his stable for more.

The Oakland Programme.

It will be seen by looking over the advertising col-
umns that the Directors of the Golden Gate Agricultural
Association have seen fit to change their programme very
materially in regard to the Purses and Stakes which
have been already advertised. In looking over both ad-
vertisements it seems to us that a very wise change has
been made, one decidedly for the better. They now an-
nounce three nomination purses in which entries may
close in the name of owners or trainers on May 15th.
All nominations are transferable, and nominators are
held only for the amounts already paid in; horses must
be named five days before the first advertised day of the
meeeing.

The first, called the New List Purse, is fcr three-year-
olds whose sires up to January 1, 1890, have not pro-
duced an animal with a record of 2:30 or bettpr, at three
years of age or under. The entrance, as usual, is 10 per
cent., payable in installments as follows: §25 on May
loth, entries as already stated, close in the name of own-
ers or trainers; $25 on June loth; $25 July 15th, and
the last and final payment of §25 five days before the
first advertised day of the meeting, at which time horses
must be named.

The second purse on the programme is a guaranteed
one of $1200, for the three-minute class, entrance also 10
per cent., payable as follows. $30 on May 15th, when
entries close, $30 on June 15th, $30 on July $15th and
$30 five days before the first advertised day of the meet-
ing, at which time horses must be named.

The third of the purses is also a guaranteed one of
$1200 for the 2:40 class, entrance 10 per cent., $30 of
which must be paid on May 15th, when the entries close,
$30 June 15th, $30 July loth, and $30 five days before
the first advertised day of the meeting, at which time
horBes must be named.

Their guaranteed Futurity Purse of $4000, which we
have had occasion to mention before, has had the en-
trance money considerably lowered, the Association now
only asking 3 per cent, of the purse from those who
wish to enter, the payment being also on the installment
plan, so that those who wish to enter may do so at a
very small outlay. The purse is for foals of 1890, en-
tries to close on May 15, 1890, when $10 must accom-
pany the nomination; the entries to close in the names
of foals or of their dam and sire; $10 is due January
15, 1891; $15 June 15, 1891; $15 January 15, 1892; $15
June 15, 1892; $15 January 15, 1893; $20 June 15, 1893;
and $20 five days before the first advertised day of the
race.

If the last payment is made on twelve or more entries
the horses shall be started in trial raceB, in which not
more than eleven or less than six shall be allotted to
start. The trial races shall be mile heats, three in five,
for a purse of §1000, given by the Association for each
race. If two trial races are trotted, the first four horses
shall only be entitled to start in the final race. If three
such trial races are trotted, only the first three horses in
each trial race shall start in the final; and if four or
more trial races are necessary, only the first two horseB
in each trial race shall start in the final race.

These trial races must be started not less than five nor
more than ten days previous to the day set for the final
race; and if possible all trial races will be trotted on the
same day.

Alcona 730 and Grandiesimo.

Owing to the death of Whippleton, Mr. F. W. Loeber,
of the Vineland Stock Farm, has altered his arrange-
ments for the season, and instead of Grandissimo stand-
ing at Napa, he will be taken to Mr. Loeber'a place
near St. Helena. This will make no difference to those
who have already sent mares to Napa, as the matrons
will be taken, free of charge, to Vineland and the b«Bt of
care given them. In fact, the alteration should be ben-
eficial, as the pasturage at the latter place cannot be
surpassed in the State, and the mares will probably be
benefitted by the change. Alcona will make a heavy
season at Vineland, as it is an opon secret that there are
several of his colts that will make a very low mark this
year, one especially, of whom it is claitnod that he can
put three heats inside of 2.20. Mr. Loeber is fortunate
in having two such stallions, and his neighbors should
lake advantage of such a favorable opportunity to breed
good mares to them at their present low figure. The
change in the advertisement came in too late to correct
this week, but will receive due attentiou in our next
issue.

San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association

Colt Stakes.

In the appropriate column, and uuder the usual head-
ing, will be found this week the advertisement of the
above association for their colt stakes, the decision of
which will take place as usual at their auuual fair in
September. The entrance for each has been placed at
the same figures, viz., $50, of which $10 must accompany
the nomination, $15 to be paid July 1st and $25 on
Monday, September 1st. They are divided in sets of
four each, the first of which are called the Pacific Coast
Stakes, open to all, whereas the San Joaquin Valley
Stakes, another set of four, are restricted to youngsters
owned in the San Joaquin Valley only. In the first, or
Pacific Coast Stakes, the events are for two-year-olds,
best two in three; for three-year-olds, best three in five;
for four- year-olds, best three in five, and a pacing race
for two-year- olds, best two in three. To each of the
above races the society adds $200. The four other events
which are open to colts owned in the valley only, $150 is
added to each race, for two-year- olds, best two in three;
three-year-olds, best three in five; four-year-olds, best
three in five, and &. pacing race for two-year-olds, best
two in three. Five or more full paid up entries are
required to fill, with three or more colts to start. The
money will be divided into 50, 25, 15 and 10 per cent.;
however, if only two colts start, they may compete for
the stakes paid in only, divided into two-thirds and one-
third, otherwise the usual conditions of the San Joaquin
Association for 1889 to govern the above races. The
entries will close on Thursday, May 1st, with Mr.
La Eue, the Secretary, P. O. box 188, Stockton, Cal.

The Breeder's Association.

The Directors of the P. C. T. H. B. A. held an impor-
tant meeting last Friday afternoon at the editorial rooms
of the Breeder and Sportsman, on which occasion a
large number r>f additional races were added to the pro-
gramme for the fall meeting. There] i e^ome in the
racing fraternity who have seen fit to characterize the
Directors as tinged with a spirit of meanness, in
offering what they term small amounts of added money
to the Btakes already advertised, but it seems by the
amount of the purses offered in our columns this week,
that the Directors have gone to still the other extreme,
for generosity is strongly marked on the face of each and
every event announced; the various classes are so diver-
sified that it becomes necessary to enumerate each in
turn and show what the Association offers to the breed-
ers of the State for competition among the owners of the
light harness horses.

The firat race is for three year olds eligible to the 2.40
class, mile heats, best three in five, entrance $50, with
$300 added; the entrance money is payable $10 on May
1st, $15 on July 1st, and $25 on the fifth day preceding
the first advertised day of the meeting.

The next is for four year olds eligible to the 2.30 class,
mile heats, best three in five, entrance $50, with $100
added; entrance money payable S10 on May 1st, $15 on
July 1st, and $25 on the fifth day preceding the firs!
advertised day of the meeting. The two events men-
tioned above are both stakes.

"We now come to five nomination trotting purses, the
first of which is a $2000 Purse tfor stallions eligible to
the 2:18 class, mile heats, best three in five, entrance 10
per cent., payable $40 on May 1st, $40 July 1st, $40
August 1st, and $S0 on the tenth day preceding the first
advertised day of the mee 1iig .

The next is a $2000 Purse, free for all, milo heats, best
three in five; entrance 10 per cent., payable $40 May
1st, $40 July 1st, $40 August 1st, and $80 the tenth day-
preceding the first advertised day of the meeting.

$1500 is also offered for five-year-olds, mile heats, best
three in five, 10 per cent, entrance, payable $30 on May
1st, $30 July 1st, $30 August 1st, and §60 on the tenth
day preceding the first advertised day of the meeting.

The 2:22 class has $1500 offered for them, mile heats,
best three in five; entrance 10 per cent, payable S30 on
May 1st, §30 July 1st, $30 August 1st, and $G0 on the
tenth day preceding the first advertised day of the meet-
ing.

The 2:27 class has also a Purse of $1500, mile heats,
best three in five; entrance 1-0 per cent., payable $30 on
May 1st, $30 July 1st, §30 August 1st, and $60 on the
tenth day preceding the first advertised day of the meet-
ing.

The pacers have not been forgotten, and two purses
are offered for them, the first of which is $1,500, free
for all, mile heats, best three in five, entrance 10 per
cent., payable $30 on May 1st, $30 July 1st, $30 August
1st and $60 on the tenth day preceding the first adver-
tised day of the meeting.

One of the heaviest betting races of last year was the
2:25 class for pacers, and this year the association offers
to ihem $1,000 for mile heats, best three in five, entrance

10 per cent., payable $20 on May 1st, §20 July Is*, $20
August 1st, and $40 on the tenth day preceding the first
advertised day of the meeting.

In all of the above purses, both trotting and pacing,
horses have to be named at the time the last payment is
made. Any of our readers who are desirous of making
entries in the above purses and stakes, and who have
not as yet joined the association, should make application
for membership to the secretary, and remit the sum of
$25 to cover membership fee, prior to May 1st next. The
advertisement should be read carefully, as there are

I many conditions which should be thoroughly understood
by all who propose making entries in the stakes and

I purses.

Time Records.

The subject of "tin cup" records, or trials against the
watch, has for sometime been the subject of much con-
troversy among prominent breedeis throughout the
United States, so much so in fact, that at a meeting of the
Executive Committee of the National Association of
Trotting Horse Breeders held at Fifth Ave. Hotel, New
York City, on Tuesday of last week, the subject was ar-
gued pro and con for some considerable time. There
were those on the Board who favored records made in
races only, while others were inclined to give the "beat-
er of the watch" a chance to show what he could do
when specially prepared for single heats. At the meet-
ing there were present H. "W. T. Mali, President of tbe
Association, J. C. Sibley, J. W. Gay, "W. E. Dickerman,
S. H. Rundle, I. V. Baker Jr. and L. D. Packer, the
Secretary.

After a great deal of discussion it was finally moved
and seconded that a committee from the Association be
selected, to meet like committees from the American and
National Associations, to see whether the following
scheme could be adopted by all of the Associations. The
plan as formulated is as follows: A purse must be hung
up, for which there may be any number of entries and
the horse winning the first heat shall step down and
out; at the expiration of the second heat, the horse win-
ning said heat shall also be ineligible to start again, and
so on with the third, fourth and successive heats, each
winner going to the stable after each heat; the horse
winning the fastest heat, to take the first money, the
horse winning the second fastest heat, second money,
etc., but if all of the horses fail to win. in better than
2:30, the purse to revert to the Association offering it.
i It is to be hoped that some means can be devised
which will be found equitable for alL concerned, so that
there may be a spirit of harmony among all breeders as
to what constitutes a perfect record.

Death of Whipple ton.

We are extremely sorry to have to announce the death
of Whippleton 1883, which occurred on Friday of last
week; a stallion which has done much for the trotting
Mid pacing interests of Napa County, and whose ab-
tence will be .sadly missed by the owners of good brood
mares in that neighborhood.

"Whippleton, of late years, has been owned by Mr. F.
W. Loeber of Viueland Stock Farm, St. Helena, Napa
Uounty, by whom he was thought a great deal of, and
whose death caused a very serious loss to his uwner.
Whippleton first came into prominence when the phe-
lominal speed of Lilly Stanley began to show, and there
ire many who still think that her record of 2:17^ is not
lear so low as it might have been. In addition to this
jood game mare, Whippleton was also the sire of the
>acer Homestake 2:16£; Flora B. 2:27; Cora C. 2:31£;
Slack Prince 2:36£; Eachel 2.38, and Prince W. 2:40,
vith at least a half dozen more that we know of, which,
f given a show this year, should surely enter the
harmed circle.

Whippleton was of great individuality, of perfect con-
oimationand excellent disposition; in height he was 17
lands, and weighed when in condition almost 1400 lbi.;
■ great many of his progeny are 16 hands or over, and
.e had the remarkable faculty of stamping all his get
ither bay, brown or black. Mr. Loeber, his late owner,
ifornis us that he never sired a sorrel or a white-faced
olt; in fact, he has been so marked in this respect that
f late years the advertisement about the horse has al-
ways contained the paragraph; "If he sires a sorrel or a
"hite faced colt the service fee will be refunded."
Whippleton was sired by Hambletonian, Jr. (sire of
[aucock 2:29), he by Whipple's Hambletonian 725, dam
iady Livingston (dam of Lady Blanchard 2:26£, and
loomfield Maid, trial 2-22), by General Taylor, he by
le Morse horse. There is no doubt but what if Whip-
leton had bean spared for one or two more seasons, his
ime as a producer of speed becoming so well known,
is services would have been eagerly sought by breeders
om all over the State.

We extend our sympathy to Mr. Loeber in his great
tss, and sincerely trust that the day may not be far
Lstant when he will have an equally as promising a
roducer of speed in either of his young horses, Alcona
10, or Grandissimo.

From the present outlook, the first spring meeting for
thoroughbreds held under the auspices of the State Agri-
cultural Society at Sacramento, beginning April 2Gth,
will be one of the most successful affairs ever instituted
in the State. The Stakes already closed, had large en-
try lists, and as there are a great many green horses in
the field it is to be expected that the surprises will be
many. The programme is a large and varied one, tak-
ing in all distances from five- eighths of a mile to one
mile and a half. Five of the purses will close on April
7th, and those who have horses in training should read
over the advertisement carefully, which is in this issue,
and see wherein they can place their runuers to advan-
tage.

The first is a Purse of $400, for three-year-olds and
upwards. $15 from starters, to go 'o second horse. A
winner this year of three-quarters of a mile to carry
three pounds extra, maidens allowed, if three years old,
five pounds; tour years old or more, ten lbs.

The next is a Selling Purse of $400, of whioh $50 goes
to tbe second horse, for all ages, winner to be sold at
auction, horses entered to be sold for $1,500 to carry rule
weight with one pound off for each hundred dollars down
to five hundred dollars. The value to be placed on
starter at 6 o'clock p. M-, the night before the race; the
distance is one mile and one-sixteenth.

A Purse of $400, for all ages, next claims attention.
$10 required from starters which will go to second horse*
maiden allowances; if three years old five pounds; four
and upwards, 10 lbs; non winners this year allowed five
pounds, allowances cumulative, one mile and one- six-
teenth.

Another Selling Purse of $400, of which $50 goes to
second horse, is the fourth race which will close on Mon-
day, for all ages; horses to be sold for $2,500 to carry
rule weight with one pound off for each hundred dollars
down to five hundred dollars. Value to be placed on
starter by 6 o.clock p. m. the night before the race; the
distance being one mile and one-eighth.

Tbe last of the events to close on Monday is the Hope-
ful Handicap, a Sweepstakes for all ages, $25 each, $15
forfeit, and $10 if declared, with $400 added, the second
to receive $100. Weights in this handicap will be
announced by 10 o'clock p. m. the day before the race.
Declarations are due at 5 o'clock p. at. same day; the
distance in this race is one-eighth of a mile.

The programme is published in its entirety with the
days in which each race will take place, and those which
are still open are called on the programme, races No. 1,
3, 7, 12 and 14. As before stated they will close with
the Secretary, Edwin F. Smith, at Sacramento, on Mon-
day, April 7th.

Please inform me, through your valuable paper, the nec-
essary steps to taKe, that I may prevent injury to a mare af-
ter her foal has been taken from her. She gives a large
quantity of milk, and her bag has been spoiled.

Answer. — With reference to your letter dated March 29th,
I beg to inform you that I consider jour communication very
ambiguous. The udder of the mare may have been injured
either before or after foaling: or the mare have been neg-
lected. Under the circumstances I would advise you to take
the milk from her twice daily. Keep her on a low diet, and
apply a solution of alcohol to the udder daily — alcohol two
ounces, water three ounces. If you have any pasture avail-
able turn her out in the day time. Write again if there is no
improvement. W. Henry Jones, M. R. O. V. S.

Pedigree of Idaho Patchen.

The pedigree of Idaho Patchen has been in a measure lost,
as Mr. Knight, who now owns him, could get but little track
of how the horse was really bred from those from whom he
purchased him. In a conversation some time ago with Mr.
Knight, we talked the matter over, and it has finally resulted
in the pedigree of the Homholdt horse, beiDg explained to
the satisfaction of everybody concerned.

Idaho Patchen is a mahogany bay, with black flowing
mane and tail, star in forehead, 16 hands high, weighs about
1,130 pounds; he is very compact in form, of splendid dis-
position, aad has been a prize winner on several occasions.
Only last Fall he took the blue ribbon over such noted horses
as PoBCora Hayward, Grand Moor and Ira, as a roadster, at
the District Fair held at Rohnerville last September. A few
days after the fair, he was trotted a half mile in 1:09 with
several watches on him; he has also worked out a fourth heat
jn 2:25 4-5, and palled out around a harrow, which is con-
sidered about as good as 2:23. Those who know the horse
best consider that nis present record of 2:26i is really noth-
ing near the mark that he is liable to make when in first-
class condition.

It was originally known that the horse was brought from
Idaho, but it has taken a great deal of correspondence to
place his pedigree with certainty; however, it is now cleared
up with the necessary certificates and letters to show that he
was by H. B. Patchen, who was taken to Idaho by Mr. Thos.
Frood, who bought the horse in the East. The dam of Idaho
Patchen is Kate Walling by Lnsby (son of Ericsson 130, Bire
of six in the 2:30 list). Lusby'a first dam was by Hooton;
2d dam by Grey Eagle; 3d_dam by Artns, and it is well
known that Ericsson was by Mambrino Chief 11; the dam of
Kate Walling was a mare taken from Oregon to Idaho, and
while she looked very much like a thoroughbred, it has been
impossible to find her breeding. As there have been many
doubts cast on Idaho Patchin as to whether he has any pedi-
gree or not, this should satisfy all who have any colts by that
good horse, for he undoubtedly will leave a great Dame
behind him in Humboldt County.

Foaled 1876. Black.

^ By Mambrino Messenger.

Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of highest form and quality; of great excellence in every point; a type of hie celeb i-ated fam-
ily; of marked Individuality, spirit and endurance; never properly trained or raced, but shows the pos^
session of great speed; perfectly manageable in the stable and on Ihe road and track.

As be is sired by The Moor 870. a Bon of CLAY PILOT, oat of Vashti by MAMBRINO PATCBEX, he is a
most valuable crosB for mares of other families, TBE MOOR sired Beautiful Bells and the dams of Sable
Wilkes and Margaret 2:28 (dam of Regal Wilkes, 2-year-old record 2:203}.

MAMBRINO PATCHEN is regarded as the unsurpassed sire of broodmares, having, among many
others, sired the dam of Guy Wilkes and of Wm. L (the sire of Axtell), and a Bon of his sired the dam of
Axtell. The public saleB thiB year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of The Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with the Hambletoniana it may be called
"the ready money crosB."

GRAND MOOR will make the Beason of 1890 for a time at the Oakland Rac« Track and afterwards at my
Ranch, fifteen miles from Oakland. Mares can b« delivered at the race track to the groom in charge.
Pasture at 35 per month. For other food, if requested, an additional charge will be made.

TERMS, S150 for the season, with privileges of return if the horse does not change hands.

Every care exercised, but no liability for escapes or accidents.

AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT.

Peruvian Bitters are made of the
purest ingredients and compounded as
carefully as any prescription.

Peruvian Bark, one of its prin-
cipal ingredients, was introduced
into Spain by the Countess, wife of
Count CINCH0N, Spanish Viceroy to Peru
in 1630, who was cured of a fever by its
use, since which time, no better remedy
for Malaria and for Restoring the Natural
Tone of the Stomach has been discovered-

On the Atlantic Coast they are used in
the principal Hotels, Clubs and Res-
taurants, and sold by all Grocers and
Druggists. We have sold them for the past
three years WITHOUT ANY ADVERTISING and
sales have constantly increased UPON
MERIT ALONE, and we unqualifiedly recom-
mend them to our friends and customers.

Grandeein a r-«ce on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2. the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three yearB old, and had it not been for a slight strain of Ids fore fet-
lock, there is little question tna- he would h*ve shown in public very close to tie best record. On the
Oakland track be was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters In from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

Asa fonr-year-oid Memo only s'arted once-at Sacramento when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, ami improving as he went on, gre»t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the I'. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, but ufter sho wine severa' very fast ruiies his leg filled and ne was laid up for

Son of Boston.

The grandam of Maud S, (2:0830 was by Boston and
the grandam of Jay-Eye-see (2:10) was by Lexionton,
flon of llocton. no Balkan is the same remove from
Boston that Maud is, and oue remove nearer than
Jay-Eye-See.

fanny Fern has produced Molly Drew, Onyx, Fred
Arnold Moby Fern and Balkan, all by different airra.

Balkan's sire and dam both being producers, and he
being a trotter himself with a record of 2:29 1-2 i three-
year-old) and timed separdtely 2:221-4 in 4-year-old
Stake, Bay Distrlf.t Track. October 14, 1889— it Is but
fair to presume that he will get trotters of the high
eat order.

DESCRIPTION.

He is seal brown, 16-1 ihands high, in style rivalled
by few, and excelled by none with las pure a gait as
has yet been exhibited in public— bar none.

Balkan will be at Oakland Trotting Park for the
Beasonof 1890. and will be limited to ten mares, at
HOOfee, In order to be put In training early, as it 1b
morally certain that if given a reasonable opportun-
ity he will be fast enough to compete with the best of
his Jige. For further particulars, address

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY. APRIL 12, 1890.

SAN JOSE BL00H0ESE MEETING.

SATURDAY, APRIL 5TH.

The San Jose Blood Horse Association is gradually but
surely working its way to the front. This year it had a great
influx of new members, and all round an increased interest
was taken in the management of the association and general
working thereof, and it is now the expressed opinion of the
i racing public that it is only a matter of time, at the present
rate of progress, wheo San Jose races will be the peer of any
in the State. Since last Fall a club house — nearly completed —
has been erected, and the exterior portion of it was used by
the members. The initial day last Saturday showed a marked
change in comparison to the previous San Jose meetingst
when San Francisco and outsiders have been the principal
patrons. Last Saturday a good attendance— for a first d&y —
was almost entirely local, and the interest they took in the
proceedings was equal to that shown on any track in the
State.

For some days — weeks in some cases — before the races,
horses had been congregating on the track, and Saturday
found upwards of seventy horses located at the track, includ-
i ' ing as they did the best horses in the State. Palo Alto, with
the veteran Henry Walsh in charge, had Geoffrey (4), the
I winner of three races out of five last year; Faustine (4), the
winner of the Fame Stakes last year; Eaoine (3), the winner
of the Gano— now Racine Stakes — in 1:14£, and ten other
races last year; by the way, I have made a mistake, the Gano
Stakes was changed to So-So the year previoos, when Sonoma
won in l:14f, and was disqualified; Flambeau, the acknowl-
edged crack three-year-old of the stable, who ran second to
[ ■ his stable companion Eaoine last year in most of his races,
1 and won three himself, including the California Annual
Stakes in 1:43; Muta, a three-year-old filly who Btarted three
times last year, running second to Santa Anita's Atalanta in
I her first essay, winning the Ladies' Stakes in her second, and
running third to her two stable companions Eacine and Flam-
beau, in her third. The two-year-olds include Einfax, by
Argyle, out of imp, Amelia; (Undine Stables) Glenlivet (a
sister to Gueen and Geoffrey) by Flood — Glendew; TearlesB,
a chestnut filly (sister to Eaindrop and half-sister to imp.
Brutus and imp. Gyrus) by Wildidle, out of imp. Teardrop,
and several others.

Senator Hearst, with Geo. Van Gordon managing and W. L.
Donathan training, had twelve representatives, two were
imported from Australia, viz., Gertrude and Del Mar, both
being by Somnus, and rank as four-year-olds here; Almont,
the speedy four-year-old son of Three Cheers, as a two-year-
old won six races, beating Bon Jose and Picnic for the
California Annoai Stake in 1:*2|, and in the Night Hawk
Stakes, also a mile, for all ages, he beat, among others, such
horses as Daisy D., Al Farrow, Edelweiss, Welcome and Ida-
' lene Cotton in 1:42|; last year he was taken sick on the way
East, and nearly died, and though looking exceptionally well,
is said to be thick in his wind; Baggage, tbe lucky horse in
. the sensational race at Chicago, won by Eedlight and given
to Baggage, and afterward paid to both horses, and Sacra-
mento, by Joe Hooker, out of Ada C, represent the three-
. I year-old division, while among the two-year-olds were Anar-
, ' ohiBt (a brother to Dynamite) by Joe Hooker, out of Chestnut
Belle; Snowball (a brother to Snowdrop) by Joe Hooker, out
of Laura Winston; YoBemite, by Hyder Ali, out of Nellie
Collier; Primero, by Powhattan, out of Speed; Charley
Brown, by Jim Brown, out of Viola. The horses in the
Hearst stable all looked exceptionally well, but a little short
of work, as they undoubtedly are, and they should keep
improving on their form.

Kelly & Samuels had their old favorite McGinnis and Wel-
come, five- year- olds, Eosebug (4), Pliny and Adelaide (3), and
Lizette, two years old.

W. L. Appleby had in his stable, among others, the well
known horses Applause (a), Carmen (5), Odette (4), Wild
Oats (4), Steve Stroud and Eaindrop (3), and Wild Kose (2).
The Elmwood Stable had their well known string Nerva,
Nabeau, Vinco, Index, Installation, and three three-year-old
fillies and two two-year-olds. Miller & Owens had DaiBy D,
Corona and Capt. Al. Hazlitt had Louise M., Jubilee and
Pilot, while among other well-known horses were Sunday,
Kitty Van, Oro, Bessie Shannon. Alfaretta, Jack Brady, Pain-
killer and Jou-Jou.

With such a brilliant gathering of horses, it is no wonder
that good racing was expected, and the four races on the card
were run off in good shape, W, H. 'Coombs being very suc-
cessful as starter. The first race was quite a surprise, as the
unbacked Australian, after running three or four lengths
behind the leaders, came fast up the stretch, and just got up
in time, winning by a head from Daisy D., with Kitty Van a
neck behind. The winner, who was very short of work, ran
a slashing race, but was lucky in having an opening left, as
the leaders made the turn into the stretch very wide, while
he hugged the rails and came up on the inside. Eacine was
never half extended, and was galloped an extra quarter at the
end of the mile (1:421-) without materially slowing up. The
two-year-old race was won all the way by Einfax, and the last
race was won by Palo Alto's Faustine. The stable thus
started in three races, and won all of them. Pliny and Faus-
tine made one of the prettieBt races ever seen, the mare on
the inside leading a head all the way to the stretch, when it
almost looked as though Pliny would vsin, but the 75-pound
boy could not hold his lead up, and he was beaten about a
length.

The officials for the day were: Judges, T. S. Montgomery,
President of the Association, William Buckley, and Charles
T. Boots. Timers, W. A. Parkhurst, G. H. Jefferson, T. F.
BarneB, Secretary C. H. Bragg and Starter W. H. Coombs.

First race six furlongs. Punctually on time the horses
were called out for the 'first race, a six furlong dash for all
ages, which had fifteen entries, five of whom came to the
post, viz., Daisy D., Kitty Van, Del Mar, Adam and Eain-
drop. The pools settled down to Daisy D. $20, Eaindrop $4
and the field $5. A start was soon affected, Kitty Van, break-
ing away like a quarter horse, had two lengths the best of it(
Daisy being a shade in front of Del Mar and Adam, with
Eaindrop laBt. When all were fairly straightened out Kitty
Van was two lengths in front of Daisy, with Del Mar three
back and a length in front of Adam, who was two open
lengths ahead of Eaindrop. The two leaders kept the same
distance round the turn, while Eaindrop drew up almost
level with Del Mar. Turning into the straight Kitty Van,
and Daisy, who was closing up a little, ran very wide and
looked to have the race to themselves, but at the drawgate
Kitty began to stop and Daisy caught her and both boys rode
hard, but Morton on Del Mar, who hugged the rails all the
way round, came with a clatter, and won on the poBt by a
short head, Kitty a neck back third, Adam a moderate fourth.
Paris mntuBls, Field against Daisy D., paid $14.10.

The Vendome Stakes for 3year olds brought out four start-
ers but was productive of little or no betting, Eacine selling
for $20 to the field's $4.

The flag was Boon dropped, Eacine going to the front, be-
ing a length in front of Baggage and Capt. Al, with Muta two
engths in the rear,

Eacine, running easy, increased his lead to two open
lengths in the first quarter, where Baggage and Captain a'
were level three lengths in front of Muta. The order was
not changed until the head of the stretch, when Muta
closed np to the two second horses. Eaoine was palled back
a little to the other three on whom whips were cracking, but
at the drawgate Narvice gave him his head again and he shot
out like a rocket, passing under the wire four open lengths in
the lead and was worked anotherquarter without showing any
signs of slackening up or tiring. After a hard finish for the
place, Baggage got it by three-quarters of a length from Ma.
ta, with Captain Al a length back.

The Debut Stakes for two year-olds, with three starters,
was considered a certainty for the much vaunted Argyle colt —
Einfax, and pools sold Einfax $20 to the field $12. A little
— very little — delay was caused by the fraction sness of the
youngsters, and when the flag fell Einfax drew out and led
Wool man a length and a half to the turn with Wild Eose a
length behind. Wild Eose drew level with Woolman as they
turned into tbe straight and wan at one time two lengths in
front of him, bat both hard ridden for the last furlong, made
a dead heat for second place, three lengths behind Einfax,
who won cleverly.

Paris mutuals paid, Einfax v Field $7:70.

The St. James Hotel Stakes one mile, for alleges, brought 3
horses to the post and was much the best betting race of
the day, Pliny, who was sold from Palo Alto last spring
being well backed on account of his good form at Fresno-
Pools sold rapidly at $i0 for Faustine to $32 the field. A
good start was effected, Faustine (on the inside) and Pliny
cutting out the pace at a merry clip ran locked together for
six furlongs with Fannie F., outpaced all the way, Faustine
and Pliny were level in the Btretch and it looked anybody's
iace, but Narvice rode the mare brilliantly and drawing away
inside the drawgate won by a length- Had Ward, who had
twenty lbs. of lead, been strong enough to hold Pliny togeth-
er, he would probably have won. Fanny F. was six lengths
back. Mutuals (Faustine v the field) paid S8.80.

MONDAY.

The weather was almost perfection in the afternoon but
the local race goers did not turn out as they should have
done, and the consequence was a great decrease in the num.
ber of people who passsd the gate. The officials for the day
were: Judges T. S. Montgomery, W. Buckley and Jesse D.
Carr. The times were Messrs. Jefferson, Parkhurst and
Barnes; Secretary, C. A. Bragg, and Btarter, W. H. Coombs.
The four races on the programme provided excellent sport.
In the first Daisy D who wasabig favorite won readily as d>
Palo Alto's Faustine in the second. The third race was the b'_
betting race of the week ; Mntawas made favorite with Baggtu
selling well up and Pliny a fair tbird, but the line thron

Saturdays running did not prove trne, as under Mouohan's
handling Pliny carried his weight nicely and after trailing be-
hind for almost six furlongs he came through and won easily.
The repeat race was supposed to be a gift for Sunday but
Carmen made a dead heat with him in the first heat, al-
though it looked as though Hazlitt could easily have won
the heat had he made an effort. In the second Newell was
taken down, it being said he was not tryiDg to win and Narvice
rode Painkiller who got well away and won easily, Sunday
being hard held all the way. The Judges ordered Mcrton
to ride Sunday but when he had got ready, Hazlitt bad per-
suaded them to leave him in the saddle. Painkiller and Sun-
day got well away and the former just won by a short neck.
The 6rst race, the Santa Clara Slake, a seven-furlong
sweepstakes for all ages, had four starters. Daisy D. sold a
big favorite at $20 to Oro $5 and the field $9. Jubilee was
very fractious, and delayed the start for some time, eventually
the bag was dropped to a fairly successful start, Daisy being
a little behind the rest, Raindrop was rushed to the front,
leading past the sis furlong pole by a length, Oro second,
half a length in front of Jubilee, with the favorite close up,
IaBt. Down the backstretch Eaindrop slightly increased her
lead, Jubilee and Daisy passing Oro, followed her to the turn,
when Daisy went up to the leader, and going on, turned into
the stretch a length in front of Raindrop and Jubilee, who
were about level, two lengths in front of Oro. Daisy D.
romped home an easy winner by a length and a half from
Jubilee, who, hard ridden, was three lengths iu front of Oro.
Paris Mutuals paid $8.60.

Pliny $17. A beautiful start was effec ted almost at once.
Muta on the inside, with Baggage lapped on her, made tbe
running neck and neck round tbe turn and down the back
stretch, Pliny being pulled in behind, three lengths back.
Baggage was ridden hard round the turn to keep hi* place,
and turned into tbe stretch level with Muta, Pliny two

FirBt Heat. Sunday sold for $40, to Carmen and Painkill-
er as a field $15. Very little dtlay occured at the post. Car-
men and Sunday had a shade the best of the start and cut
out the work, Painkiller dropping in behind; Carmen, who
was on the inside, ran level with Snnday round the turn.
Murphy rodb Carmen all the way up the stretch, making a
dead heat witb Sunday, Hazlitt beeming not to make a big
effort — or possibly he drew it too tine. Painkiller finished
three lengtbs back, running easy.

Paris Mutuals paid §7 on tbe field and $3 50 on Snnday.
Time, 0:48 J.

Second Heat — Narvice rode Painkiller. Pools sold, Field
$20 to Sunday $11. There was quite a long delay at the
post and when the flag fell Painkiller had a good two lengths
the best of it, and ridden hard increased to it four before the
torn was reached. Sunday cloted tbe gap a little round the
torn and finished with his head pulled round two lengths be-
hind Painkiller. Carmen jast saved her distance, getting
badly away and laying up the heat. Time, 0:49.

Third Heat — PouIb now changed entirely, Painkiller selling
for $20 to $8 for the field. After a blight delay at the post
Sunday being unwilling to face tbe starter, the flag was
dropped with Painkiller and Sunday two lengths in lront of
Carmen. The two leaders ran head and bead round the torn,
Painkiller on the inside having about a neck the best of it
inside the stretch and answering gamely to Narvice's errbits,
won a bard tJniBh by a neok, Sunday two lengtbs in front ot
Carmen. Paris Mutuals paid $6.95. Time, 0:49.

WEDXESDAY.

The third and last days racing of the San Jose Blood Horse
Association was of the same style as the preceding two days.
The fields were again small. Palo Alto having removed their
horses to the Bay District Track, The first race of the day,
an owners handicap at a mile, was a surprise to the talent as
no one expected that Kitty Van could run a mile if turned
looBe, with Daisy D. It looked to me as though different
tactics should have been pursued with Daisy, had she carried
Kitty Van the first Bix furlongs in 1:15 or better she might
have had made her stop at the end of the seven furlongs,
as it wa-* she allowed ttie crack sprinter to run the brst six
forlongs easy, and consequently she stayed the journey and
won easily, admirably ridden by little Ward at771bs. The two
year old race only hadjthree starters, two of them from the Or-
ange Grove Stables, and the other from the HeaTst Stables.
The latter was a useful looking chestnut by Powhattan, but
unfortunately his eye was injured while at exercise in the
morning and besides being unable to see out of it, it made
him *ery nervous and fiightened and he was never really
in the race.

The third race was praoticilly a walk-over for McGinnis,
who is in pretty good form just now. Monohan rode tbe
winner, and consequently received tbe order for a suit of
clothes presented by Messrs. T. V. Hobson & Co. The special
race did not fill, and a quarter mile and repeat wound up the
meeting, and did not add much lustre to the proceedings. .Ml
Bhort races of late have been productive of unseemly rows,
and this was no exception; the sooner tbey are done away
with the better, and I understand that the association, which
is striving hard to please the public and thns make a success
of their meetings, will have no more short races.

Christopher Green, Esq., President State Fair Association,
presided in the judges' sland, assisted by Jesse D . Carr, Esq.,
Salinas, and T. S. Montgomery, Esq., President San Jose
Blood Horse Association. W. H. Coombs, starter.

First race, Al Farrow Stakes, one mile, four horses turned
out. Daisy D., with 102 pounds, was made a hot favorite in
the pools, being backed as though tbe race were over, at $20
to Kitty Van $6 and the field $3. A very good Btart was
made, all four being well under way when the flag fell, with
nothing to choose between thtm. Kitty Van, pulling hard,
rushed to the front, and went round the turn, hugging the
rails, two lengths in front of Carmen, with the other two a
length further back. Kitty Van ran easy down the back-
stretch two open lengths in the lead, Daisy D. second, a
length in front of Carmen, who waH the same distance in
front of Fannie F. Kitty still had her lead when the stretch
was reached, and though Hennessy made a vain attempt, he
could never get up to her, and she won cleverly by two open
lengths from Daisy D., Fannie F., five lengths back, just btat
Carmen for third place. Time, 1:41. Paris mutuals, Fitld
vb. Daisy D., paid 513.90.

SUMMARY.

The Dick House Stakes, for two-year olds, had three start-

and Joe Woolman were favorites, first one and then the other,
Woolman finally going to the post a decided favorite at $20
to $13 Primero and $5 Bon Ton.

A long delay occurred at the post caused by Bon Ton who
refused to join the other two. The fl g was eventually
dropped with Bon Ton and Woolman two lengths the best of
Primero. "Woolman made the running a length in front of
Bon Ton to the turn when he increased it to two. Primero,
hard ridden, closed up, being almost level witb Bon Ton, but
dropped back again in the stretch after making his effort.

tiful start, all three being level and in motion. Sacramento

two lengths behind taking it easy. McGinnis running easy
still, joined the two leaders at the quarter and stayed with

History of the Mohawk Horses.

Editoh Breeder and Sportsman: — Since Elmo 2:27, has
been one of the greatest producers of extreme speed in Cali-
fornia, no doubt your many readers would be interested in
reading a history of the Mohawks. Old Mohawk was a dark
chestnut, 164. hands high, and would have weighed in fair
flesh 1200 lbs. He had three white ankles, two behind and
une in front, had a star and snip. For style, beauty, strength
and great endurance he could not have had many equal?, lor
he never was trained two months for speed, always waB in the
stud, and was fat and in no condition to trot races. I have
Known him to serve mares right up to the 4;h of July and
start on the 4th in a free-for-all stallion race, and win it, de-
feating as good trotting stallions as could be found in our
Srate, or brought from other States. He was a good scorer
and a great finisher. He was a nice big coach or carriage
horse; his neck was very long and nicely arched; he had a
nice neat bead, powerful shoulders and loins, and was dead
game — could trot all day. Mr Ltek Yorks of Long Island,
New York, bred and raited him. His tire was Long Island
Black Hawk, his d i u a daughter of Mambrino Chief. Mr.
Yorks sold him to Geo Alley of New York City, Mr. Alley
sold him to John J. Wise of 24th street, New York. He sold
him to Joseph W. Hall of Knox County, Ohio. Jos. W.
Hall purchased and brought him to Kuox Coon'y, Ohio, in
April, I860. He made three seasons in Kuox County, Ohio,
siring Elmo 2:27, Clark's Mohawk Jr., 2:25, at 4 ytars old.
Hall's Mohawk Jr. 2:26, and a s ore of others that could
beat 2:40. Our mares were what are called common stock.
Rysdyk's Hanibletunian was at that time having a boom Mr.
Hall took a carload ■ f horses and money enough to buy Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian and went to Orange County for the pur-
pose of bringing Hambletonian home with him. Mr. RyB-
dyk asked him $14,000 for him. While in New Yorfc selling
his horses, he saw Mohawk and liked him much better than
Hambletonian to cross with our mares It is believed by
many good trotting horsemen that had he purchased old
Hambletonian and brought him to this county, he would not
have produced as well as Mohawk did. Great opportunities
make great producers If old Mohawk had had acce&s to
staudard mares, his roll of honor would rate with the best of
them. We all know that Electioneer is one of the greatest
sires on earth, but I will ventnre to state that there are many
breeders in California that honestly believe that if Mr. Sian-
ford had placed Elmo 2:27 where he placed Electionter that
Elmo would to-cay iate wheie Electioneer rates.

I will give a short history of how Elmo came to exist. In
the year 1S62 an old Englishman by the name of Robinson,
and his son Robert came from England and purchased a
small faim near Fredencklown, Knox County, Ohio. I
think the farm cost them twenty-five hundred dollars Thej
bad $1500 to pay on it, and gave s mortgage on the land for
the balance (S1U00). They moved on the farm in April, and
about the 1st of May they came to oor place to ste the slock.
The old gentleman bragged of Lis bay, Sir Richard's Mare, he
was driving. My father said to bim be thonght old Mohawk
and his mare would prodnce a valuable coll. Tbe old mau
said he could not afford to pay $25 for a colt, for he had a
mortgage on his farm for $1000 and had to be careful or he
could not lift it. Father said to him that he thonght a colt
from Mohawk and his mare might help him to pay off lb .
mortgage. The old man took with tiie idea and bred *
the produce being Elmo 2:27. When be was two y<
he was broken to harness and driven once or twice a wt
tbe road. He had plenty of natural speed the first tin.
was hooked up.

About three weeks before onr CDunty fair a local train.
took bim to the track and trotted him, at the fair winning
the three-year-old race in a jog in 2:52. This race gave him
the name of being a great colt. Mr. Van Giesen, of Chicago,
heard of him, and iu the spring of 1866 he sent Mr. Sargent
to buy Elmo. Mr. Sargent was afraid Mr. Robinson would
back out when he would take him up, so took a friend to
have hold of the strap when he purchased him. Mr. Robin-
son priced him at §2.000— a price at that time for a tbrte-
year old colt looked exorbitant. Mr. Sargent purchased him
at $2 000, getting bis sulky and harness. The old gentleman
was not loog in coming to see us, and was delighied in tell-
ing that the mortgage was lifted and bad $1,000 left to
improve his farm with. Elmo's career after he went to
Chicago, is known by many of your readers. Clark's Mohawk
Jr., 2:25, by Old Mohawk, was a great race bor^e. He met
with an accident at five years old which caused bis death.
He would have been a grand stallion if he had lived. Be
was the sire of Fashion, 2:23, and Yellow Dock, witb run-
ning mate, 2:11.

Hall's Mohawk Jr., 2:26, was foaled in 1S62. He was 16
hands, dark bay, with four white ankle?, star and snip. He
got a record over a poor half-mile track of 2:26. He sired
Belle Ogle, 2:214; she trotted quarters in 0:29} seconds. He
also sired Mohawk Gift, 2:2!}. McFadden (pacer) 2:24, Mo-
hawk Kate, 2:26, and Mohawk Chief. 2:30. All the above-
named horses are from now standard mares. Hall's Mohawk
Jr. has over thirty of Irs gt-t in this locality that oan beat
2:45, from common mares, and used only as road horses. I
know of a three-year old stallion by Hall's Mohawk Jr. that I
saw trot quarters in 37 seconds with a three-ounce tip on.
He is a fine, big, rangy fellow, and will beat 2:25 this season
if trained. He is Senator Stanford's kind — trots with light
tips. If Mr. Stanford had him, I am confident he would
soon make a great stallion out of bim, and one that would
produce as well as Electioneer, for .he is so much like Elec-
tioneer in every respect.

The Electioneers an3 Mobawks are almost 1st cousins as
the Clays and Mohawks both originated from Andrew Jack-
son. Harry Clay was sired by Andrew Jackson dam un-
known. Andrew Jaokson Rired Loog Inland Black Hawk,
dam Sallie Miller record 2:33 by Tippo Saib by Messenger.
We combine the Mohawks and Electioneers and then look
out for great speed.

If unv of your readers desire any information in regard to
the Mohawk Horses, I will be glad to write them what I
know about them. Yours, Geo. S. Hall.

Further Conditions.— A Bf cond payment of $15 on each nomination
Is due on or before June 1st, the third uayment for s'arters, of 825,
must be paid as in other races, through the entry box before six
o'clock, p. at., of the day preceding that upon which the race is to
take place. A failure to make the payments as above specified declares
the nomination out of the stake.

The Home of Director-

The desire is always strong within us to pay visits to the
vaiious stock farms and keep the readers of the Breeder
and Sportsman posted as to what is going on, but there are
so many calls on the time allotted to work, that from "sun
up to Bun down" is a long time to be away from the office.
However, it is imperative that the many rumors prevalent in
spring time, should be verified, or the minds of the public
disabused, about the wonderful form shown at the various
breeding farms, so on Saturday last the first of a long list of
contemplated visits was made to the thrifty little town of
Pleasanton, to take a peep at the Bons and daughters of the
"Iron Horse," a name given to Director years ago, when he
was tbe brightest particular stallion star of the great galaxy
that swept through the Septuple circuit.

A few hours give but little opportunity t-G carefully exam-
ine the many good ones that are always to be found at the
Pleasanton Stock Farm, so that this initial call was more
simply a visit of introduction to the little masters and fair
maidens that are liable to make themselves celebrated on the
fields of contest during the circuit season of "Ninety."

An earlyrise brought ns indoe season to thefoot of Market
street, where we fonnd tbe "white knight" Andy McDowell
and L. A. Davis, of Roy Wilkes fame, also in waiting to take
the 8:30 train, eauh bound for the same destination. Just before
the boat starts, Mr. Salisbury and his bonny little daughter
Margaret (after whom tbe winner of the Spirit Futurity Stake
of last year is named), make their appearance, and the party
is complete. The principal owner of the now renowned
breeding establishment at Pleasanton, is a pleasant gentle*
man, who always had a predeliction for fast horses, and it is
not so many years ago that we remember him in Washington
driving behind such good ones as Sweetness, 2:214_, Bateman,
2:22, and a few others equally well known. It was a subject
of wonder then, where "the old fellow from California"
picked up such good ones, but as he always managed to pass
everything on the road, no matter what was tnrned against
him, it finally came to be understood that "Salisbury's lack"
was too much to batile against.

With indomitable courage and perseverance he kept on
purchasing stallions until finally he secured tbe game and
speedy Director, having had also Admiral, Romero, Monroe
Chief, and a few others with which to give the boya a taste
of his horse knowledge, but it was in tbe purchase of the lit-
tle black that his name became famous, as the trotters that
have eminated from the loins of Director are all noted for
their speed and staying qaalities; the great desideratum to
those who are trying to purchase the best. That the day is
not far distant when Director, as a sire, will stand as the
peer of any stallion in the land, must be evident to any one
who visits the Pleasanton Farm, that is, provided any bias
already formed be laid to one side. Arriving at the stables,
no time was lost and in a few minutes Andy was warmingup
Direct 2-18J, Mr. Salisbury was soon in a sulky himself, he
moviog the young stallion Corrector in a masterly manner.
It will take one or two more calls to determine what there is
^n this big bay, as he has not had work enough to sbow
what be is capable of doing. While Direct was being given
a breathing spell, a black-grey filly was brought out which
should astonish the natives this year. She is by Director,
dam by Paddy McGee, and her mode of locomotion is nearly
perfect; a little hitching is her only fault, a fault easy of
correction. It should be within her province to make a mark
close to 2:20 this year, and it will not be surprising if she
even beats that.

Direct waa brought out the second time and Andy drove
him one or two very fast quarters, tbe little black showing
that he had lost none of his former speed, and it is jnst pos-
sible that there are good grounds for McDowal's belief that
his favorite can touch the 2:12 notch this year: it will be re-
membered that when in the East lately he made a bet with
Mr. Valensin that Direct would trot during the season of
1S89 in 2:12 or better: when we spoke at the time of the bet
being made, we said it was rather doubtfol as to whether he
oonld get down so low, but from the manner in which he is
moving there is a possibility that Andy may win his bet.

Katy S. another Director filly, was formerly owned by Col.
H. I. Thornton, bnt was sold sometime ago to Mr. Salisbury,
and she is another of tbe rare good ones that may astonish
the turf patrons this seasoD, smooth, easy aDd frictionless in
gait, her prospects are good for adding fresh laurels to tbe
brow of her aire. Those working on tbe farm place reliance
on the speed of this animal, and many seem to think that
■Direct is the only one of the progeny of Director that will
have a lower mark than she this year

Margaret S. has filled out wonderfully and to those who
have only seen the filly once or twice sbe would be hardly
known again; she has only been worked a very little, but
Mr. Salisbury fancies that if the four-year-old event in which
ahe is entered baok East is won by any other horse, at least
2:14 will have to be beaten. Having carried the colors of
California so well in the Spirit Futurity Stake last year, ail
breeders in this State will bid her a hearty "God speed"
when Bhe goes back this year to contest with the crack ones
of the Eastern Circait.

We did not see Mr. J. H. White's Contention move, bnt
we are told that he will be another of the astonisbers in the
California Circuit this year. McDowal thinks very well of
him and there is no one who will begrudge his owner a low
mark for the Director colt.
The time was so short that there was no opportunity to go

to the field and take a look at the brood mares with the ex-
ception of a couple which were seen at a distance.

May Day by Ballard's Caasius M. Clay has a foal at her
side bv Director. This little Miss being a fall sister to Mar-
garet S., there is no reason in the world to donbt that she
will be equal in speed to her illastrions sister, and barring
accidente, good reports in the future should be beard from
her.

We also saw the dam of Ranchero, who has a colt at her
side by Montana Wilkes, he a son of Red Wilkes. This is
another of tha promising kind and Mr. Salisbury may well be
congratulated upon having obtained possession of sucfi a grand
old brood mare.

When the season is a little farther advanced we will pay
the Pleasanton Farm another visit, so that our readers may
keep posted as to the speed shown by the sons and daughters
of the great Director.

Chapter on Smuggler-

Taken Irom tJie Advance Sheets of Marvin's New Book

In his work, "Training the Trotting Horse," now in press,
it is not surprising that Marvin tells fully the brilliant career
of Smuggler. We have seen some of the advance sheets of
Marvin's work, and the story of how Marvin converted
Smuggler from the pace to the trot is one of the most inter-
esting things we have seen in any horse book. He says: —

"Mr. Morgan wished me to train him (Smuggler) as a pa-
cer and take a half interest in him, which I promptly and
emphatically refuted, telling him that pacets were of no ac-
count, and he would have to allow me to train him to trot or
I would not train him at all. This he refused, and came to
see me almost every other day for two months, endeavoring
to prevail upon me to meet his proposition. Morgan was a
very erratic man, and had a peculiar old gray soldier-coat
which he wore winter and summer. He, in copious and
highly-seasoned language, would ridicule the idea cf trying
to make Smuggler trot. 'Why,' he exclaimed, if yon knocked
him down with a clnb be'd get np pacing.' It amuses me
now to recall how, after Smuggler became famous as a trot-
ter, Morgan would loudly tell how he bred him for a trotter,
and how he knew from the first that be would bs a great
trotter. And I am bound to add that once after, when Smug-
gler was defeated, Mr. Morgan wrote Colonel Russell that if
he would "buy Marvin a pair of rubber reins be would always
have a winner.* I trust I have outlived the astute Mr. Mor-
gan's suspicion.''

"Finally, finding it futile to urge me to train Smuggler as a
pacer, Morgan compromised by giving him to me lo train to
trot, on condition that if I failed I was to make him pace as
fast as he could when he came into my hands, which was
not a very heavy contract to assume. Thus it was that
Smuggler, obscure and unknown, came into my hands on
August 15, 1872, the day he was six years old. I found him
a good looking bay horse, 15 3 in front, and 16 hands high
behind, and a white rear heel, and a star and snip. He was
a well made horse all over, with excellent legs and grand feet.
His head was well shaped, and his broad lorehead and rich
hazel eyes gave him an expression of great intelligence.

"I tried every known method of conversion with Smuggler,
and at times I despaired of ever learning him to trot. He
was a pacer through and through. First I shod him with an
ordinary Bhoe, bnt had to increase this again and again until
he finally wore two pounds on each front foot, his hind shoes
being ordinary hve ounce ones. It has been contended, I
believe, that Smuggler was injured by carrying excessive
weight, and that is possibly true. He had the best of feet,
joints, cannons and tendons, and had it been otherwise, he
might not have stood what seemed necessary to be done. If
the reader will follow me after I have done with my story-
telling into the discussiona on shoeing and weighting, he will
discover that I am on principle opposed to heavy shoes, and
'dead against' weights. Bat all cases cannot be treated alike;
exceptional cases require exceptional treatment, and the oase
of Smuggler certainly was an exceptional one. It should be
remembered that he was not the only horse that carried such
weight. Nettie, 2:1S, carried 10 ounces more than Smuggler
ever did; and so did the little mares Lulu, 2:1?, and May
Queen, 2:30. None of these conld compare with Smuggler in
muscular development, and another thing greatly in his favor
was that he was a mature horse before the task was asked of
him. Id many cases the end justifies the mean?, and those
who criticise the methods pursued with Smuggler have in
2:15J a stubborn obstacle to brush away.

*-As I have said, I tried every known method of conversion
with this horse. Different methods of converting pacers will
be treated later on, but here I may say that I tried the cross-
straps by which it is made impossible for a horse to pace; I
tried the plan of placing rails on the ground at such intervals
as would compel the horse to pat his feet down in the dia-
gonal order; tried weighting in everyway, and all availed
nothing. Finally by a sort of inspiration, I strock on a plan
which perhaps found its first growth in the knowledge that a
horse cannot turn short at the pace. I wonld start him up
slowly and rather suddenly throw bim off to one side at a
pretty sharp angle, compelling him to change his gait; and
the new gait he would keep for a few steps. As soon as he
came back to the pace I would swing him on sideways again.
Of course this was virtually driving around in a email circle,
until he began to go a considerable distance trotting. At
each time he would remain at the trot a little longer, and af-
ter the long, tedious and discouraging experimenting, the
reader may well understand how glad and encouraged I was
when one day, after goirg around in a circle for eleven times.
Smuggler struck a trot and kept it np for a quarter of a mile.
Before this I had unsuccessfully worked him for 28 days.
Tbe third day after this evidence of a change of heart he
went a full mile, trotting in 4:20, and two days later did a
little better, trotting the mile in 4:00. Tbe seventh day after
showing his first inclination to trot he showed a mile in 2:59,
and the rapidity of his improvement is shown by the fact
that on the 13th day he trotted the mile in 2:41$; the 21st
day he worked three heats in 2:43*. 2.-38A and 2:32, and tbe
2Sth day miles in 2:32$, 2:30}. This ended the work for
that season and dnriDg the winter Smuggler suffered from an
attack of epizootic. He was jogged easily during March, 1873,
and in April we began working him again. On May 1st, he
was good enough to trot a mile in 2:27, and do it in away
that was fall of promise of improvement. The second week
in May he trotted a mile in 2:25, and three days afterwards
in 2:23. Then Benjamin Akers offered $10,000 for him, but
we declined the offer. Fe kept right on gathering speed and
improving in form every day, and a week after Akers offered
$10,000 for him he went a mile in 2:22; the next week he
trotted three miles in 2:26, 2:21*, 2.20. and tbe following
weak I worked him two miles in 2:19J and 2;20A. He was
then sold to Capt. W. S. Tough, of Leavenworth, Kansas,
and abipped to New York in my charge."

The story of Smuggler's campaign is written vividly by hi*
old driver in his great book. Those who desire Slur-
book can send orders to this office. Price, $3 50.

TUEF AND TRACK

Anteeo's book for 1890 is fall.

Whitecloud, Appleby's crack sprinter is still turned out.

Matt Storn has bred Lurlioe to imported Cheviot. She
will be raced later in the season.

"Wild Oats bas been added to the list since last fall having
been gelded to improve his temper, etc.

Cook returned from the Ea->t last Monday, arriving in San
Jose jast too late to ride Pliny to victory in the Lamolle
Stakes .

Faustine, the Pa*o Alto fonr-year-old mare, winner of the
Fame Stakes last year, and two races at Fresno this Spring
meeting, has already been bred to Argyle.

John Sp'an will locate at Cleveland, and it is said that Mr.
Gordon will torn over to him the "black whirlwind" Guy,
2:10$, to be prepared for an effort against Mb record.

Dwyer Bros, have leased their well known Inspector B. to
the Kittson Bros , thus tuking a favorite with the public from
the peblic near the tracks near New York to those of Penn-
sylvania.

Major H. C. McDowell has refused an effer ot $700 per
aore for Ashland, near Lexington, Ky. Ashland as a stock
farm was founded by Henry Clay, and has remained in the
family ever Bince.

One of the seventeen mares Mr. R. S Veech will breed to
Axtell is Imogene 2:29J, at foar years oil (full sister to Gen-
eva 2;19£) by Princeps, dam Ozone by Hambletonian 10, 2d
dam by Magnolia, son of American Star.

The black mare Q^eenby Mambrino Boy, dam Fanny Law-
ton, property of T. F. Curtis, dropped a fillj by Axtell early
on the morning of April 2nd. This is the first and only pro-
duce by the great young stallion in existence.

The Charter Oak Driving Park, Hartford, Conn., will give
a purse of $10,000 for trotting foals of 1SS9, to be trotted dur-
ing its grand circuit meeting in 1392. Entries will close May
5th, when $10 mast accompany each nomination.

Wigfall O'Hair of Paris, 111 , has sold Guy G. Crouse of
New York State a bay paoing mare by the Wateon Horse, for
$1,000. She will be sent to the Argentine Republic. She
shewed a naif mile over an Eastern track last summer in
1:09.

Oro, the well known son of Norfolk and Golden Gate, who
has many a time and oft shown his long tail to a Geld of
horses at the finish of a raoe, bas been altered. He has,
besides joining the list of geldings, had his tail squared, and
looks every inch a race-horse.

Mr. Marvin's gTeat book on developing trotters will Boon
be ready for delivery, and we predict for it a great sale. He
is the greatest oult developer in the world, and if he tells all
he knows, as we certainly believe he will, this will be the
most valuable book ever published on the subject.

The license for standing stallions in Bourbon county, Ky.,
amounts to more than $3,500. It looks a little hard to
charge one for improving the stock of his county, but as, ad
vantages Buoh as liens on colts for services, etc., are thereby
secured, they more than make up fcr the outlay.

Harry Agnew, who purchased Lyla A. for $2,050, by
Artburton 365, out of Flora Langfotd, dam of Lillian Wilkes,
three-year-old record 2:17f, and Joe Arthurton, 2:20}, at the
late Killip & Oo.'s combination sale, has Bent her to San
Mateo Stock Farm to be bred back to Sable Wilkes, 2:18.

The 9 years-old Princeps mare Femme Sole, 2:20, who se-
cured her record against time in '86, and was recently pur-
chased at the Rockfeller sale by the Hudson river Btock faim,
Poughkeepsie, N. Y , will be campaigned, it is said. This
will make another "bang-up" contestant for the rich 2:20
clasB.

It is reported that Count Potocki, an Austrian nobleman,
who was lately on a visit to Calcutta, has purchased the Ma-
harajah of Durbhunga's well-known Arab "Euclid" for £700
for breeding purposfs on his estate in Austria, where he has
a large Btud farm, but it may be as well to add that the re-
port requires confirmation.

Virginia Evans, 2:24 at four years old, by Kentucky
Wilkes, will be handled this season by Ed Geers, and in
whose hands she, no doubt, will perform with credit to her
game and fast little Bire. Ab a four-year-old she was badlv
handicapped with a driver afflicted with a "strong arm,"
which would everlastingly contract as Boon as the turn for
home was made.

TrottiDg horses that are compelled to carry extra toe weight
to haleuoe them and keep them square in their gait are leBs
appreciated every season. Prince Wilkes and other fast toe
weight trottera have not been successful in foreign countries,
but have been repeatedly beaten by horses of less Bpeed than
can trot without extra weight. A material point in a trotting
horse's favor is that he trots without weight.

The 15-year old mare Cleora, 2:183, by Menelaua, son of
Rysdyke Hambletonian, dam Thornleaf, by Mambrino Pat-
chen, wftB sold at the recent Kellogg Bale for $585 to W. S.
Spier, Glen Falls, N. Y. She was a sensational performer in
1882, never meeting defeat. After her purchase by Mr. Rock-
efeller she wbb driven on the road and in 1883 to pole carried
the grey stallion, Independence, 2:21$, a mile in 2;17,

It is reported upon good authority that a German musician
of note has had an eye on Harry Wilkes (2:13}), but bas de-
cided to buy the trotters Red Star aDd George Peacemaker
iuBtead The former is a gray stallion by A. W. Richmond,
son of Simpson's Blackbird, and has a two mile record of
5:13. The latter is a full brother to Dauntless, sire of Gene
Smith (2:15) and other fast ones. His record is 2:34J.

An exchange says that Messrs. Look & Smith of the Ken-
tucky Live Stock Agency, Loniaville, Ky., have Bold the six-
year-old stallion Auctioneer to Mr.Seth B. Rubert of Howell,
Mich. The pedigree of this horse is one of the choicest
found in the stud book, being by Alcantara, record 2:23; first
dam Susie, dam of De B-irry, 2:194. by Happy Medium; boc-
oud dam the dam of Nettie 2:18, by American Star. The Bire
of Auctioneer in one of the leading Wilkes stallion*, having
twelve to his cr«dit in the 2:30 list, and both the first and
second dams of the horie sold have produced a trotter with
a record below 2:20.

You should put the wind power of any horse you intend
buyiDg to a severe test, if he" is in good hard working condi-
tion, so as to bear it without injury. Trot him two miles or
more and tiniBh with a smart gallop up hill. Then get down
and watch him, and you will estimate the wind power of the
horBe by the quietness of his flauks. A fat, soft fed horse
will not bear so much driving however sound he may ^e,
and must not be expected to breathe as quietly after exertion
as a= horse in working condition, bnt his breathing must be
regular.

Verbal warranties or promises to warrant are worthless,
and the most legally worded written warranties, even from
the most respectable men, are best avoided. The interpreta-
tion that may be put on them in a court of law is very uncer
tain, and the amount of evidence that may be brought against
you still more so. The amount of successful swearing that
some witnesses can accomplish in such cases is truly aston-
ishing. No sensible man with his eyes open will go into any
transaction that may take him into a court of law, especially
in a horse case.

The failure of so many in breeding may with assurance be
charged to awant of daily exercise; owners of brood mares
have the right to demand that the horse they patronize re-
ceive this work. It means everything to them, for the whole
year's results rest here. Woik the stallions Give less at-
tention to fancy points and more to the underlying princi-
ples. Build up strong, healthy muscles before the season of
breeding opens, so that the per cent, of mares returned will
be as low as possible and the character of colts assured.
Work the stallionB.

The owner of Thornless is anxious, so he says, to trot his
horse in a sweepstake race against Belle Hamlin, Harry
Wilkes, Jack and Gene Smith, for $500 a side, and added
money to be offered by some association, or will trot a match
race against any other horse under like conditions Thorn-
less must have improved wonderfully in that game leg of his.
We have often heard it stated by good horsemeD that they
regard Thornless as a faster horse than Gene Smith, if his
legs would stand the necessary fitting. — Horse Breeder.

Among the Boots' string are two useful two year-olds, one
of whom looks more than usefnl, a f-ur-sized bay colt with
black legs, by Duke of Norfolk out of Gipsy, by imp. Hercules,
out of Miami by Belmont. He is a good looking colt with
plenty of muscular power, rather cobby looking, but speedy.
The chances are he will be sold to go East, as he is entered
in the Futurity. The other is by Nathan Coombs, out of
Bessie, and will run at the coming Blood Horse meeting.
The stable have great faith in a three-year-old longish-backed
light bay tilly by Inauguration out of Mamie Hall.

At the late Kellogg sale the loquacious Splan, while "jol-
lying" a crowd, was asked why he had not deserted the trot-
ters like Rogers, Knap McCarthy, Johnny Campbell and other
reinsmen and taken to the running turf, in which there ap-
peared to be more money. "I never went in for runners but
onoe," replied Span, "and that day I made more of the long
green than I ever did on any Riven day in the sulky." Being
quizzed for an explanation, Splan resumed: "I got three
tips on as many different horses; bet $10 on each one. They
all lost. Was struck for loans aggregating $2,000, which 1
didn't lend. Taking my $30 loss from $2,000, you have my
winnings, $1,970."

For some time past a wealthy Tennessee horse fancier has
been trying to get a proposition from our fellow-townsman,
George W. Morrison, for the purchase of his great stallion
AnteroB.

Thus far Mr. Morrison has named no price and even re-
fused to consider the matter, but the persistency of the fellow
makes it look like he was determined, and he may offer so
fabulous a price that Mr. Morrison could not afford to hold
on.

It would be a great calamity to Eastern Indiana to lose this
splendid animal, and we sincerely hope that the trade may
be declared off. — Connersvil'e NewB.

"What" asks a correspondent, "is the diffeience, if any,
between a "pacing horse'' and a "racking horse?" and is a
racking horse a species of pacer? The difference between
the pacing gait and that of racking is so slight that the two
are considered identical, says an exchange. "Pacers when
in motion extend the right hind and left fore feet at the
same time. Both feet leave the ground at the same instant,
throwing the body forward, and after being extended are
brought to the earth again at the s^nie instant. In racking
the animal moves both feet on the same side at the same time,
bnt the hind foot strikes the earth an instant before the for-
ward oue, bo that two distinct strokes are heard, while in
the pace the ear can detect bat one. The rack is simply a
fast amble.

One of oar Kentucky exchanges contains the following ac-
count of remarkable precocity in a filly: "E. A* Robinson,
of Lagrange, Ind., sends us a statement in regard to a very
remarkable mare in Lagrange county. Mr. Robinson says
she is not five years oid and has four foals. Her name is
Moll Latta, and she is by Haw Patch 1140. She was foaled
October 1, 1885. Her first foal (a filly) was dropped May 17,
1887; her Becond (a colt), May 8, 188S; her third (a filly),
April 11, 1889; her fourth (a colt), March 19. 1890. She was
hsB than twenty months old when she dropped her first foal
and was four years, five monthB and eighteen days wben she
was delivered of her fourth. She was but nine months old
when she first got with foal. She is the property of A. G.
Hostetter, Lagrange, Ind. Mr. Robinson challenges the world
to produce a parallel case."

It is said that the two coarsest mares at Palo Alto are a pair
by Almont, their dam being the famous Mambrino Chief mare
Dolly, that also produced Director, 2:19, Thorndale, 2:22$,
Onward, 2:24J, and Czarina, 2:17}, the last named going into
the list thiB year. It may be, as the editor of an Eastern
paper, in whioh the above information regarding the two
mares at Palo Alto appears, says: That the prodnoe of old
Dolly are coarse, but they are certainly first-class in other
respects. Onward is a greit sire; Thorndale has sired two
with records better thau 2:20, and Director has two in the
2:20 list before his stud career has fairly begun. As to
Czariua, it is true that she ib a big mare, and not a purtica-
larly fine one in appearance, but she is a trotter, as was evi-
denced by her work last fall. McHeory, who gave Czarina
her record, says that she will trot close to 2:20 with another
season's handling, and he is a man who does not overesti-
mate his horseB. To have prodaced Direotor, 2:17, hvG"orge
Wilkes; Onward, 2:25J, by George Wilkes; Thorndale, 2:22$,
by Alexander's Abdallah, and Czarina, 2:27}, by Egbert, would
stamp Dolly as one of the greatest mares that ever lived, even
if all three of her sons were not s'res of 2:20 and better Bpted.

An exchange Bays: The Memphis turf scribes are wildly
touting Blarney Stone as a dangerous factor in the Kentucky
Derby. He is covering miles in 1:45 and "running away
from Riley" in all of his trials, etc. All of which would be
interesting were it not for one single fact — Blarney Stone is
not in the Derby. Amos McCampbell is trying to engage
Isaac Murphy to ride Grayson in the Derby. Should he suc-
ceed thi3 will be the fifth horse which Marphy, according to
rumor, has agreed to ride in Kentucky's classic event.

Mr- Rody Patterson of Lexington, Ky., has been secured
as successor to Captain W. H. Bovce as Buperinteadent and
trainer for Edgewood Farm. Mr Patterson, althongh young
in years, has won his way to the front rank of educators of
the light harness home. Among the mauy results of his
teachings the moBt prominent is Bessimer. that be drove to a
four year old record of 2:16 over the Cleveland track on his
21st birthdny, and further reduced the pacer'e record last
year to 2:13}. Coupled with his skill in the sulky, he brings
to Edgewood a manly and rpfiued character. The scions ot
trotting:j|nobility thatroam Edgewood's pastures will be in
charge of a master hand, who, ere the summer sun is high,
will guide them to many a victory. Mr. Patterson will take
charge about April 15lh.

A great deal of unnecessary disease is, even now, contract-
ed in some stables by the indiscriminate nse of the same sta-
ble bucket, and frequently of clothing, sayB the Sportiug
World. In glanders there is only one thing to be dono, which
is to destroy the infected animal and bury him deep with
quiek lime. Everything, harness, blankets, etc , and all the
things which come in contact with the bodv should be
bnrned, aDd the stable, after scraping, thoroughly do edwith
carbolized whitewash and then planked over, or, better still.
the stable should not be used at all for some time for stock.
There are literally no remedies to be given when once the dis-
ease has been developed. In its first stages, as farcy, it is in
many cases amendable to remedies, but in its developed
stage, as glanders, curative remedies are sti 1 entirely un-
known.

Simeon B. Hoaglaod, the veteran jockey, driver and train-
er, and all round sportsman whom every one knows, has
recently lost by death his favorite roadster, old Privateer,
which he bred and named after, perhaps, his greatest friend
during life in turf ranks, the lute Mr. Charles J. Foster. The
horse died at Mr. Hoagland's homestead in Graveaend on
March 17th, and has been buried back of the Brooklyn Jockey
Club track hard by Green Mo-ris' new house and stable. Mr.
Hoagland. now a veteran of 73 never tires of sounding the
praises, either of his great horse, or the wonderful turf writer
whose nom de plume he bore. Anecdotes about the great
little man he has by the Bcore, and it is a source of pride to
the old man to tell how many of "Privateer's stories were
penned under Uncle Sim's roof. As to the borse he is fam-
ous if only for the fact that he sired Lady Blanche, the dam
of the trotter Alcryou, whose case gained such notoriety last
season, and it is still under review by the trotting authorities.

The introduction into Paris of horseflesh as an article of
food was due to M. Decroix, former President of the Society
for protection to animals, who brought it into public notice
in 1866. He practiced what he preached, and partook largely
of the viand that he recommended so highly, declaring that
it possessed all the nutritive properties of the best beef. Tbe
statistics concerning the consumption of horseflesh as an art-
icle of food in Paris have just been published. No less than
17,000 horses were slaughtered for the market in 1S8S, to say
nothing of 241 asses and 43 mules. Only one-third of the
meat thus obtained was eaten in the form of steaks and
roasts; the rest was worked up into sausages, and. in fact,
the equine race furnishes by far tbe largest part of the mate-
rial used by the sausage markets of Paris. Horseflesh is said
to exhale a peculiar odor wben uncooked, and e*n readily be
detected by a practice inspector in that way. But wbeo well
cooked it is impossible for the daintiest palate to discover
the difference between it and the very best beef.

Of the many things managers of trotting associations are
required to do in order to secure and retain the confidence
and good will of the horsemen who attend their meetings,
says Dunton's Spirit, the securing of a competent starter is
one of the most important. Not only is this true, in regard
to horsemen who start their horses, but a stupid starter in
the judges' stand will do more to cut down tbe gate receipts,
than almost anything else. What is wanted is a man with
a clear head, cool temperament and courageous enough to
enforce the rules to tbe letter. No timed, nervous individual
Bhoald be allowed in the judges* stand at all. What is more
disgusting than to watch the tedious scoring of a field of
horses, manipulated by drivers who have no respect for the
"stand?" or, on the other hand, perhaps the starter has too
much respect fcr some of tbe horses in the race Above and
beyond all, honest men should be secured for judges — men
who would keep a close watch oo the pool box, not from a
speculative stand point as is commonly the case now adays,
but so as to be the better able to thwart any attempt at fraud,
for in nine cases out of ten, all fraud in trottiug races origi-
nate at the betting booths. Not only managers of trotting as-
sociations, but all interested in tbe trottiog horse of America
should exert their influence in every way to bring about
honest turf contests, for in no way can the business be more
substantially advanced.

The best English trotting records are far below the Ameri-
can marks, as will be seen by the followiog from the English
racing calender:

Mr. Knock the secretary of the New York Jockey Club has
revolutionized the management of race-tracks in the East
says the World. He is a quiet, unpretentious gentleman
who has few con6dants and who believes that intelligent ef-
fort can accomplish everything. Mr. Koch was born in New
Orleans and educated abroad. He was for years connected
with the Morgan line, and Wells, Fargo & Co., and although
he had a thorough business training when Mr. Morris pat
him in charge of his new race-track, he had never Been a
horse-race and had to ask a friend what a filly was.

When Mr. Koch came to this city the newspapers laughed
at him. He was called the ''railroad man from Texas." Ev-
erybody predicted failure. No one anticipated success. It
would be difficult to imagine a man having more things to
contend against. Even the railroads opposed him, and he
found that they had not signed a solitary contract to move
the crowns, and that he was absolutely at their mercy. That
Mr. Koch made a sue ess, and a great success, in the face of
all this is Bimply astounding.

•The easiest "thing in the world to manage," said he the
other day, ''is a race-track. All you have to do is to apply
business methods."

He worked for months from b" in the morning till 2 or 3 at
night. He thought it best to know the pedigrees of the hor-
ses, bo he had a list of allthe horses running in the world
made cut and learned them off by heart. He learned the
great races in the same way. To-day he can give the trainers
information.

Aradee in Independence Progress: The tabulation of pedi-
grees and extensions of blood lints that cross and recross in
warp and woof of the breeders' eqairje fabric, has become a
profession that requires the hand of an expert lo disentangle
the mass of fiction and imaginary stuff that hangs about the
"manufactured pedigrees" of some of the "equine wonders'
hauling wood wagons and dragging the plow in the West. If
a man possesses the strength of a Sampson od other topics he
is certain to display a weakness on the breeding of his horse
when he sets up a claim of "Haaibletonian on one side and
Diomed on the other," the very antipodes of horse history.
The records and standard registry of numbers serve a good
purpose in forcing some men to tell the truth. To illustrate,
a few days since a letter of inquiry of a mare that had been
shipped far West with a colt by Governor Wilkes, claiming
the mare to be Orange Girl, 2:20. As such mares and recorag
as "twenty" do not, to use a popular phrase, "lay around
loose," and particularly by Hambletonian, "gathered to his
fathers" these many years, had the individual the least know-
ledge of trotting history he must have known such a fraud
would be exposed. About the fastest mare that has a colt
by Gov. Wilkes in Missouri is Bronze, 2:21]:, and she is in
her owner's stable at Kansas City. Another fast mare, Lil-
lian 2:23, dam by Almont 33, had a colt and was sold to J. I.
Case, of Racine, Wis., and died at seven years old. These are
the only two low record mares on Governor's bjoks. The
practice of misrepresentation in such high matters should be
made subject to State law as well as turf law; it is a clear
case of obtaining money under false pretense.

During the last years of his life Dan Mace drove horses
occasionally, not for what there was to be made by it as much
as for the sake of taking his mind off his bodily troubles.
The last regular meeting in which he was an active partici-
pant was held in October, 1880, at West Side Park, Jersey
Citv. Dan entered the bay mare Western Girl, and drove
her in the 2:34 class againBt six others, standing good for his
entrance money up to the fifth h> at. Billy Button and
Breeze Medium were the contending horses, and carried the
clip too fast for Mace, who was shut out at the filth ronod.
Nothing daunted, Dan drove the mare the next day in the
2:38 class and got fourth money. Dan was in great glee.
lie was as full of fuu as a school boy entering on his vaca-
tion. The West Side track at Jersey City was built on a salt
meadow, where the high tide at times surrounded it. Thick
planks were first laid down and clay placed on top, the sur-
face of the track being about two feet above extreme high-
water mark. On the day of Dan's second race there was an
unusually high tide, and to make matters worse, a tremen-
dous rain storm set in. All hands decided to start, and
twelve horses scored down the narrow homestretch for the
word. The tide water worked under the planking, and com-
bining with the rain water on top, converted the half-mile
riDg into a perfect sea of mud. In fact, in places a scow
could have floated. As the horses went in a bunch to the
turn the spectators could see the track "pompey" like an ice
pond, while the rush and weight of the contestants forced the
water from beneath the track in fountains. Mud flew in
showers, and it was impossible to distinguish the horses.
Mace's laugh rang high above the din, while he drove as
artistically as he ever did in his life. They pot up five bang-
up heats, ranging from 2:37 to 2:43. Western Girl was a close
second in the first heat and finished fourth in the fifth. Each
driver carried about five pounds of mud overweight, and, as
Dan declared, had a hundred dollars' worth of fun.

The new Board of Directors of the Pacific Coast Blood
Horse Association are going about matters in the right way.
They have had cards printed and served on all the trainers
and owntrs, notifying them that the following rules will be
lived up to strictly:

TO OW-NEBS, TRAINEES AND JOCKEYS.

The following rules will be rigidly enforced by the officers
of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association during the pend-
ing Spring Meeting:

1 Owners whose colors have not been registered will be
required to file with the Secretary a written description of
their colors by 5 o'clock b. h. of the day preceding the race
in which they propose to start a horse.

2. Jockeys will be required to ride in the colors so regis-
tered. No substitution or change will be allowed.

3. The Secretary will be in attendance at the scale room
from and after 12 o'clock noon of each raciDg day. Jockeys
will be required to show their weight at least ten minutes be-
fore the aovertised starting time of the race.

4. A bngler will be in attendance at the paddocks, and will
sound three calls. The first will be to prepare the horses;
the second to mount the riders aod parade the hordes in front
of the j ldgea' stand; the third for horses to go to the post,
and no more than three minutes will be allowed after the
post-call for horses to go to the starting post.

5. OwnerB, trainers and jockeys must understand that the
horses are entirely under the charge of the starter immedi-
ately on goiDg to the post. Any disobedience on the part of
any of the said parties will resnlt in a fine or other penalty.
The Directors will nphold the authority of the starter.

Failure to comply witb the above rules, will result in fines
to either owner, trainer or jockey, or all of them. Infraction
of rule 2 may disqualify a horse from starting.

Special attention is directed to the change in declaration
hour to 5 o'clock p. m.

Albermarle, in the New York Sportsman, says: "We see
strange things in the breeding world, remarked a man of
observation, the other day. I, for one, would never have
bred a thoroughbred mare to Gen. Benton to get the dam of
a trotting wonder; yet Governor Stanford did it, and pro-
duced the fast filly SunoL 2:10£. I never woold have bred a
mare of little or no developed speed, to William L.t neither
fast himself by record, nor the sire of fast ones. Yet a young
man did it, and got the king of Btallions, Axtell, 2:12. Nor
would I have taken a mare by old Vermont Hero, and bred
her to Daantless, at that time considered a rather inferior
stallion, and expected a race horse! Yet another man did it,
and the result was Gean Smith, one of the greatest of all-
round campaigners, a horse that last year started twelve
times and won nine first moneys, and carries the record in
the fifth heat, 2:16. Nor would I have thought that the
mingling up of the blood of Happy Med nm with that of a
little Morgan mare would produce such a stayer and genuine
race horse as Jack, 2:15. As a matter of fact, Gean Smith
and Jack were the two best gel ings seen in the circuit last
year. Neither are fashionably bred, no Star cross, no Mam-
brino Patchen cross, no thoroughbred cross — just a couple of
trottiog-bred horses that happened to trot, and had the good
lock to be driven by Goldsmith and Doble. These two horse*
show that breeding a race horse of the first water is still a
mystery."

Dave Pulsifer, formerly of Chicago, who owns the great
little four-year-old Tenny, said the other day: "lam not
obliged to start Tenny in either the Brooklyn or Suburban,
and persons who back him for either do so at their own risk.
He is enttre i pretty well in all age stakes, and will have an
abundance of racing before the season closes. I still think
he is fast for his inches, and nothing would afford me more
pleasure than to put him in a little sweepstakes with Salva-
tor, Longstreet, Spokane and Proctor Knott for company,
$2,f00 or 55,000 each, some reputable racing association to
add a few hundreds or thousands by way of increasing the
value of the same. Such a race at. say, a mile and a quar
ter, weight for age, would draw all New York and Brooklyn
to see it. I would not ask for an especially prepared track
with only my jockey posted as to its peculiarities., nor would
I seek to prevent good jockeys from betting in the race.
Neither would I expect the judges to award the race if some
other horse beat me a neck. A little sweepstakes like the one
I suggest cmld be run over the new Monmouth track at the
midsummer meeting without proving hurtful to fall engage-
ments. The owners of the record breakers I have indicated
may consider the matter favorably and a big race be the re-
sult. Little Tenny has not taken on much flesh and he is
still sway backed, but from the manner in which he kicks
stalls into smithereens and seeks to climb out through the
roof I infer that he is game enough for another campaign,"

B. C. Holly says that his mares are foaling in good shape.

had to be destroyed. Aurelia's colt being put on to the mar.
Instead.

The Australiasian, in speaking oi Chicago, the horse lately
sent frcm the Antipodes to England, says: "In Australia we
consider Chicago a bigger, and, perhaps, a better horse than
Eingmaster, but he may not prove bo' in England, for big
horses are apt to turn roarers in the old country. He ran a
good horse oo New Year's Day, but he pulled up rather lame.
I don't think, however, that it was anything serious, and, if
all goes well with him, he ought to win a race or two in Eng-
land before the close of the season. There is a rule iu the
English Jockey Club Code which should not apply to hordes
hailing from any portion of the British Empire. It is this:
'No horse is eligible to be handicapped for any public race
unless he shall have been habitually trained in the United
Kingdom, or have twice run there during the six preceding
months of the racing season." Formerly only horses trained
in England and Scotland were excepted. This was certainly
'another injustice to Ireland,' and, despite strong adverse
criticism, it was retained for some time, aod when a repeal
was first mooted, it met with strong opposition from some
members of the Jockey Club. The rnle was introduced to
provide against French hordes sweeping the board, but it had
little effect, for tbe wily Gaul — or lather, an English trainer,
brougbt over Tenebreuse. ran her two byes, got into the
Cesarewitch at a nice weight, and won the race and a trem-
dons amount of money in bets, all of which went over to
France, the Britishers refusing to believe in her. By run-
ning Chicago twice in weight for-age races, he will be eligible
to be handicapped, but he must necesS'rily be out of condi-
tion, and the handicapper. consequently, cannot form any
thing like a true estimate of his capabilities. Chicago will
go to Mr. J. E. Sivill, who thoroughly understands the basi-
net of training horses in the Australian style. He is not too
proud to admit that he learned much by watching such men
as Mr. John Tail and Mr. James Wilson, and it will be
remembered that he trained The Assyrian when he won the
Melbourne Cnp, and a'so won many races with other horses.
I should like to see Mr. James White give him a chance with
Rudolph aod Sinecure. Tbey are not much to look at, aDd
would he laughed at in England, but our kinsmen would find
them 'rum 'una to go.' "

We take the following from the anecdote column of the Li-
censed Victuallers Gazette. Horses have curious fancies,
likes and dislikes, and are at time3 as unreasonable as wom-
en. Squire Oibaldeston had a horse, called Grimaldi. who
for some reason would not fc-oe running water, in conse-
quence of which caprice he lost the Squire two races; but he
had a third on hand, against Colonel Charrims's Napoleon
for 500 guineas. The course was over the Dunchurch coun-
try; so Osbaldeston^went to the famous rough-rider, Old Dick
Christian, and consulted with this eanine oracle as to what
was to be done to get Grimaldi over a stirfish brook that lay
in the line of country. Dick had a wonderful power over
horses, his great secret being coaxing and kindness; he agreed
to meet the Squire and his horse on the following morning at
Brixwortb, and there, having allowed Grimaldi to Bmell at a
small stream, and patted aud coaxed him, at last induced
him to cross quite easily. He was then led to the brook.
"He'll never cross this, Dick," said the Squire. "I'll bet you
a guinea he will. Squire, " answered Christian. Dick then
waded into the stream, and finding a place where he could
stand, he arranged with Osbaldeston that he would be io that
place when the match took place. "I'll be here," he said,
"with my hat on the top of a stick; gallop right for me and
keep him going." The Squire carried ont these instructions
to the letter, and Grimaldi leapt clean over Christian, hat
and all, cleared the brook, and won the match for his owner,
because he had confidence in the man who coaxed him.

There should be some one to enlighten the amateur horse-
men, says the Horee, in the proper use of check-rein, from
the fact of there being a number that have tendency to imi-
tate their neighbors. "When any of these people see a horse
hitched they go home and try the same plan, frequently
checking a colt up as high as they can, and start in to break
him. The result ia that nine ont of ten are partially spoiled
and develop a dislike for the check, and it is years before
they are cured of the habit of tossing their head. If the be-
ginner would use a little forethought and check a colt up
gradually, he would soon find the natural position and avoid
future trouble. Under such treatment the colt will soon
learn to drive pleasantly and speed without pulling. One
colt likes an overdraw, another a Bide check, and so on,
therefore the driver should endeavor to get a kind that will
suit. It isfnever safe to check a colt up nntlll such a point
is reached, as he will do his work easier and with more de-
termination. This is especially true of the trotter and road
horse. Get Mm where he trots steady and easy, after his
feet are balanced, and do not try to drive him in 2:20 the
first week. Wait patiently and find where he likes his head
and what kind of check or bit makes him feel comfortable.
Iu nearly every town an observing man sees hoises speeded
up the streets, over cro^a-walks with their heads stuck up in
the air as if they were taking astronomical lessons. Such a
method is not the best way to make a good track horse or
even a safe roadeier, as he has not liberty enough to see his
way or what is going on around him. Give the horse a lit-
tle freedom in harness, treat him kindly and speak to him
when he is doing his work. It does not cost anything and
it wins hi3 confidence.

The New York Tribune says: While the wretohed weather
is keeping back training for the spring races, let us consider
the subject of jockeys and their repute. It is an important
one, and by continual hammering we may induce racing offi-
cials and racing as.-ociations to take some interest in it. Now
"pulling" a hurse is a figure of speech in nine cases ont of
ten. It means riding him to lose where he can win, but it
by no means implies that there has been any direct use of
the bridle to hold him back from winning. The writer has
seen horses actually and literally "pulled," but perhaps not
one of the 2C0 that go out for airiugs require such strong
measures to prevent him from getting his head home first. A
horse can be effectually "stopped" by other and more covert
processes. A jockey can lie too far out of his ground; take a
turn too wide; court a cross or collision in the stretch. Any
one such occurrence may happen to him against his will
when he really desires to win; it is high art to obtain them
when he wants to lose. Again, when it comes to the actual
finish, when jockays "sit down" to "ride" their horses home,
art also cjmes in. The orthodox rider should be feeling his
horse's mouth with even reinB and a light hand; his body
should play to the stride of the animal, his hips being braced
and his shoulders also. A bad rider who sits with slack hips
and loins and windmilarms (like W. Donohue), and "grinds
coffee" (like Soden), causes his center of gravity to wobble
and so balks the stride of his horse; and if one rein is slack-
ened the horse is not held together, nor his head balanced to
his line of progress, aud all this tends to Bhorten his stride.
Without displaying wind mill action of arms or "grinding
coffee" an artistically dishonest jockey can ride badly enough,
and at the same time deceive th~ eyes of even good judges —
unless they happen not only to know his real powers, but
also to be so posted at the moment as to have the clearest
view of his action when he sweeps past them and happen to
be fixing their eyes on him.

The Nashville authorities have set a good example in pub-
licly declaring their special rules. They are as follows:

"36. No person whatever, whether he be an officer on the
course or not, shall be permitted to remain in the judges'
stand, during the pendency of a race, except the presiding
judge, two assistants aud the Secretary.

"37. If the presiding judge be unable to decide any ques-
tion, he may call for the opinion of his assistants, and the
decision of the majority shall rule.

"38. If in any case the judges have sufficient reason to be-
lieve that a fraud haH been committed, they may exercise
extraordinary powers for tbe administration of justice; may
declare all pools and beta off, and if the winner of the race ia
implicated, declare the race void, return the added money to
tbe association and tbe entrance money to the nominators;

THE FARM.

SheeD-Feediner Experiment-

The fattening of cmrae-wooled eheep for the market has
received a Dew impulse of late and all facts throwing light
upon the most economical methods of feeding are of interest.
The science or art is an old one in England: accurate data
are less common in thiB country. But it is not my purpose
to treat of matton sheep at this time, but to narrate a simple
experiment in feeding the Spanish Merino sheep in Vermont,
and do where else is the Spanish Merino so scientifically
bred and cared for. The following is a small experiment,
bat it was carefully and accurately conduoted with a view of
ascert»ining the normal growth and development of this
breed of sheep when moderately fed and properly attended.
Twenty ewe lambs, small, oily, wrinkly, wooly specimens,
were selected. Their average weight on January 2nd was
only 52 3-20 pounds. They were confined to a comfortable
shed, in which was ruouing water, and were regularly fed
with hay three times each day, while the grain ration, given
at Doon and night, consisting of oatB, bran and a little
cracked corn, weighed only one-third of a pound to each
sheep per day. At the end of thirty dayB, or on February
1st, the lambs were re-weighed {at the same time of day as
before) and showei an average gain of 5 3-5 pounds each in
weight. This is apparently nothing extraordinary, but it is
in reality an increase of over ten per cent od their origiDal
weight in thirty days. The grain ration, it will be observed,
was very small indeed, and designed for a healthful growth,
and not for fattening purposes. Mutton sheep are fed at
least four or five times as much grain, and that of a more
carbonaceous nature, when they are beirg fitted for the
market. But a lot of ram lambs fed and treated in a similar
way did even better. They made an average gain of exactly
seven pouudB eaob. or nearly 11 percent, on their original
weight. One lamb— a small one weighing but 54£ pounds-
made the phenomenal growth of ten pounds.or an increase of
over 18 per cent in the thirty days.

Does my high esteem for the constitutional vigor and pow-
er of assimilation of food in the Spanish Merino Bheep mis-
lead me in believing that the instances are rare where, with
so smill a grain ration, any breed of mutton sheep has made
bo creditable a feed record? The grain fed to each Bheep cost
loss than one-third of a cent per day. It is claimed that the
manurial valoe of bran is $13 a ton, and that the larger part
of this value ramains in the manure. The latter statement
would apply to the feeding of oats, but Dot so fully to corn,
which, however, is not a good or safe feed for sheep, as a
rule, and may well be dispensed with. It was UBed in this
experiment only to "strengthen" the oats which were light.
I believe the cheapest way to purohase chemical fertilizers is
u> feed wbeat bran largely. It would, however, be stating
the truth but partially not to add that the lambs were fed the
best hay possible for sheep. ThiB consisted of rowen, Alsike
Clover, a few daisies and some mixed grasses, all nicely cured
and in every way palatable. Their feed, as a whole, both of
grain and hay quite nitrogenous. Not only this experiment,
but repeated observations in caring for sheep, induce me to
believe that sheep demand for their best devplopment both in
carcass and .wool a close feed ration. — L. W. Peet in Cole-
man's Rural World. _

Cots wolds.

Stephen Lyle, in The Stockman of February 27, thinks I
make UDreasooable statements in regard to Cotswolds. How-
ever, he makes one assertion that I will not attempt to dis-
pute when he says that Merino ewes will not give milk en-
ough to raise their lambs when bred to a Cotswold ram.

He says that to claim the Cotswold is the best for wool
and mutton is too much, and any one who is a judge of Bheep
knows that the Merino is better for wool and as good for
mutton, But we will oonsnlt the figures and see who is in
the dark: I sheared 20 Cotswold yearling ewes last May that
sheared 20 pounds per head. This wool was sold in June,
and brought 25ots. per pound, which made $5 per fleece.
On the day I sold my wool a Merino breeder sold his wool to
the Bame dealer for 16 cts. per pound, and hie fleeces weighed
6 pounds on an average, which brought him 96 cts. per fleece.
He was well satisfied with the sale, and said they made a
fair average. This leaveB a difference of $4.04 each in favor
of toe Cotswolds.

Now as to carcass, an ordinary bunoh of Cotswold ewes
Bhoald weigh in breeding order at least 200 pounds each,
while I am told by a Merino breeder who breeds the Ver-
mont Merinos that 90 pounds would be a good average for
his flock. Taking anv market quotations we find the Cots-
wold selling around $6 00 per owt., while the little Merino
mo3tgo at less than $4 00 per cwt., which wonld bring
sometbiog like S3. 50 each — a big difference in favor of the
Cotswold. Even thiB is unfair for the Cotswold, for our
shippers say a load of good Ootswolds would spring the mar-
ket 50o. per cwt.

It may be that in portions of our country where there is
no demand for mutton, and where the qualities of the pas-
tures are such as to require a small, nimble, sure-footed sheep
the Merino may prove more profitable. But of their fleeces
from forty to seventy per cent is yolk, grease and dirt.

I have been a breeder of Cotswold sheep for a number of
yearB, and I have yet to see the first Cotswold affected with
ecab, hoof-rot, paper-skin, or walking on sled-runner feet
(while I have seen Merino sheep affected with all fourof these
complaints), aod if all this does not constitute superior har-
diness I am at a loss to know just what does. — Leonard Bry-
an in Stockman and Farmer.

Breeding Black: Sheep.

It has always been a debateable poiDt, says the Leader,
whether it is possible to breed a flook of black sheep. All
sheep breeders are aware thnt, by a freak of nature, black
lambs are found in their flock every year, although the sires
and dams of these have been pure white as far baok as their
pedigrees can be traced. The lambs come black, and no sat-
isfactory explanation can be offered as to why they are ho.
Following up the breeding, however, it in found that the the-
ory of like producing like does not hold good where black
sheep are concerned. The progeny from a black sire and
dam will in about seven caRes out of ten, throw back to the
previous generation. Mr. P. McFarlane. of Barooga, one of
the most experienced and observant sheep breeders in Aus-
tralia, is of the opinion that the type and color of black sheep
oan be fixed, aod he is now devoting bis attention to the car-
rying out of this theory. All the black lambs of Baroosu are
collected and aeut to Malonpa, a stati-m in the Lacblan dis-
trict. He finds that by careful seleotion and tbo rejection of
all lambs having a trace of white about them, the color can,
with a considerable degree of certainty, be depended on in the
third generation. He intends persevering with the experi-
ment.—Australasian.

Price of MuttoD, and Great Demand For It.

Mutton has been higher for some time past than beef in
the United States and Canada, and it is likely to continue so,
as the taBte for it when good is rapidly increasing. It does
not cost so much to produce mutton a3 beef, and the return
from its sale iB one or two years sooner, thus not requiring
half the capital to grow it. This is the Bame in England, it
being now said there that "sheep farming is in faot by far
the most promising of all farming, and of all flocks none are
so muoh in request as the choicest of Downs." These have
been my views for some years past, and I have repeatedly so
stated them in various agricultural papers.

Our flockmasters ought to choose Down sh6ep in prefer-
ence to any others in breed, as their mutton is of the best
quality, the most tender, juicy and lean, and commands the
highest price in the market. The sheep are hardy, fruitful
and mature early, farrowing generally, since more improved,
at an average of one year old when properly reared. They
ought to be imported by the thousand, which is moBt cheaply
done by attending the sheep fairs in Great Britain in the
summer season, where they may be found numbering from
five to forty thousand head, and held there at moderate
prices. Companies of our stock raisers ought to be made up
for the purpose of importation, and they should bring shep-
herds and dogs with the sheep fur the purpose of rearing;
them. These would take such excellent care of the sheep
that neither strang6 dogs nor animals of any kind would at*
tack or destroy them. For the pastures they could select
cheap lands, and it would be better that these were Dot in a
latitude above 38 degrees north, and then the sheep would
require little shelter from winter storms; and a little more
south of this, pasture generally continues the year round.

The flockmasters should select large tracts of land near by
each other, and then they would be less lonely in situation,
and of material help to each other in their business. — A. B.
Allen, in the Stockman and Farmer.

The Shire Horse at Home.

Shire horse breeders have never assembled under more
more propitious circumstances than they will do this week.
The most sanguine of them could hardly have expected such
a rapid and signal development of the draft-horse trade as
baB latterly taken place. Within the past twelve months
wonderful progress has been made, as may be gathered from
the fact that some 200 or more horses have to find accommo-
dation within the Agricultural Hall to-morrow than were en-
tered laBt year. What may be expected of the future, with
Shire horse breeding still in its infancy?

The Agricultural Hall will this weekcontain the largest col-
lection of Shire horses ever seen at any one meeting. Some
two-thirds of their number will have to take "gallery seats"
for the first time. Provision has been made for their ascent
and descent by means of a tan-covered gradient — this erec-
tion parsing over the heads of a number of the animals be-
low. How to dispose of the enormous accessions to the en-
tries has been a sort of Chioese puzzle to the accomplished
Secretary and his associates. While the first floor affords
sufficient relief, however, for the excessive entries good and
well, but how is next year's increase to be stowed away?

As we have already hinted, Shire horse breeding is but in
the spring time of its existence. This has been demonstrated
beyond the faintest doubt. Of this the events of the past few
months furnished sufficient proof. The Blagdon Stud Farm
sale brought together an excellent oompany, and but for on-
fortunate weather the some sixty head of horses sold would
have undoubtedly made a considerably higher average than
71 gs. Yet that figure is not to be despised; though it is
somewhat annoying for the disposer to hear, as Mr. Clement
Keevil did, that some of the horses afterward almost doubled
the price he obtained for them.

The Earl of Ellesmere's sale gave an impression of great
sucoess, with an average of £122 for fifty-nino head of stook.
His lordship's stud was Doted forits show-yard achievements,
and was bred and cared for as few stud owners can afford to
do. Yet the prices realized at the Moulton Estate Bale a
few weeks later eclipsed the Worsley Hall results. In this
instance fifty one horses made no Iosb than an average of
£127. When it is remembered that both in the case of the
Earl of Ellesmere's sales and that of Mr. Clark's a consider-
able proportion of the stock sold were young these results
must be regarded as very significant indeed.

If further proof were needed of the still infantile propor-
tion of the Shire horse breeding industry we should direct
attention to the organizations being formed in different parts
of the country with a view to fostering the cause of the breed
where it has never been espoused before. The work which
these associations are calculated to do in the interests of the
Shire is great and cannot fail to materially aid in swelling the
entries at both the 'local" and ''open" exhibitions of the fu-
ture. What of the readiness with which the best horses have
been let for stud purposeB? The entire agricultural commu-
nity would almost seem beot on the attainment of one aod
the same object, viz., the improvement of the draft horses of
the country generally. If union is strength, surely there is
strength snough in this pursuit; and we have every reason
to expect a very marked extension of operations in future in
the department of pedigree horse breeding.

Foreign demands are obviously on the increase. Our good
friends beyond the water do not conceal the faot that there
is an unlimited market for draft horseB in the United States.
The few thousands of stallions that have crossed the "her-
ring-pond" are positively buried in the vastness of the repub-
lican territory. An English visitor might roam over bound-
less tracts of that great country and never see an English bred
horse, and yet we are told that her great and growing cities,
her lumber trade and quarrymen are waiting to be supplied
with short-legged, Bbort-baoked, thickly-built, powerful
draft horses, varying in weight from 1,300 to 1,700 lbs.—
London Farmer k Breeder.

The English Meat Trades Journal aays: Purveyors of beef-
tea and other "meaty" drinks and compounds do not seem
to he iu any hurry to take up the question of the played-out
horses that our shipped from this coantry to ADtwerp. See
ing what a sucoess they are having with their Dew produc-
tions, we think they are unwise to let tue question drift.
"How do you think it will affeot your Bale of this kind of
wholesome drink?" a newspapar representative asked a bar-
keeper. "Seriously," was his prompt reply. 'Several cus-
tomers have referred to the subject this very day." It is
true that one great company advertises a forfeit of £1,000 if
it oan be shown that they use anything but the best beef.
For our own part we believe the popular meet beverages are
genuine, and for that reason we think it is a pity there should
be any question about it. The report of the Sooiety for the
Prevention of Oroelty to Animals touohing Antwerp's "horse
beef" can hardly be said to cover the latest English dealings
iu horse-flesh.

American Clydesdale Association.

The subjoined resolution have been adopted by the Clydes-
dale Association:

Whereas, The prime object of the American Clydesdale
Association is to preserve accurate records of the pedigrees
of well-bred ClydeBdale horses, as well as to encourage the
improvement in quality and breeding of the same, and

Whereas, There is every probability that the World's Fair
of 1892 will be held at Chicago, conceded to be the most
accessible point for the great majority of the prominent
breeders of Clydesdale horses to exhibit their stock, aod

Whereas, An exhibition of Clydesdale horses held in con-
nection with the W. rld's Fair of 1892 will enable breeders to
widely advertise the superiority of this breed of draft horses,
and

Whereas, The members of this association have resolved to
make the exbibition of Clydesdale horses to be held in con-
nection with the World's Fair of 1892, both in extent and
superior quality of the display, most creditable to the breed,
and of the greatest possible benefit to all interested in the
same; therefore be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of the Executive Committee
of the American Clydesdale Association that rive thousand
dollars in cash prizes be offered by this organization in addi-
tion to the premiums offered the breed by the general man-
agers of the World's Fair of 1892, said five thousand dollars
to be awarded to members of this association exhibiting at
said show the best specimens of Clydesdale horses of their
own breeding.

Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to devise
and report to this association at the next annual meeting the
classification of prizes, the conditions that should govern the
awards of this association and other matters in connection
with the Clydesdale exhibit at the World's Fair of 1892.

Besolved, That the Secretary of this association be and is
hereby instructed to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolu-
tions to each member of this organization, with a request
for such suggestions as will tend to make the proposed exhi-
bition of the greatest possible benefit to the ClydeBdale inter-
est in America.

Valuable Cows.

Some yeags ago the writer hereof made an accurate com-
putation as to the actual cash value of the descendants of
the Bates Duchess Short-horn cow, 10th Duchess of Airdrie,
from which it appeared than no less than $300,000 find to be
placed to the credit of that grand old matron before her
death. This case, exceptional as it is, may serve to illus-
trate the possibilities of the business of pedigreed cattle-
breeding; but when contrasted with the marvelous aggregate
wealth contributed to the general cattle stock of America by
that other roan cow. imp. Young Mary by Jupiter, even the
brilliant record of the Airdrie Duchess pales into compara-
tive insignificance. It would require the stastical genius of
an Atkinson to present in proper terms the full measure of
the donation of this one cow to the cattle stocks of this con-
tinent. No matter what the bulls nsed — so they were of rea-
sonable quality — the descendants of this cow retain even
to this day a useful, work-a-day character whioh all unpre-
judiced persons freely concede. The record, too, of euon
cows as Rose of Sharon, Josephine, and Young Phyllis must
furnish fresh inspiration for thoBe who regard the breeding
of pedigreed cattle as a calling worthy of the best attention
of the most intelligent men. To breed such well-producing
cows is an honor to which the most ambitious may properly
aspire. Let the younger members of "the profession" im-
bibe new courage from these achievements of the older mas-
ters of the art. The production of an "epoch-making" bull
or a famous family of cows has never yet failed to bring hon-
or and gold to the intelligent manipulator of herd-book
blood. Good cattle are an absolute necessity to the success-
ful prosecution of American agricultural operations in gen-
eral, and "iu the long run" yield suitable rewards to all
who give personal attention to their work, — Breeder's Ga-
zette.

Shorthorn Breeders' Association.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Considering the long
and severe winter our sale was a succe=s. although high
prices did not prevail, the sellers were satisfied. Many pur-
chasers expressed themselves as well pleased with the man-
Der of conducting the sale and felt assured in bidding that
there was no by bidding, the rules being very strict in that
regard and many promised to attend the Association's next
sale to be held in Saoramento duriDg the State Fair. The fol-
lowing are some of the prices:

Manuga Duke bought bv P. Peterson, $225

Viscount bought by F. Stauffer, $325.

Hualpha bought by H. Gaupe, $120.

California Chief bought by John Bidwell, $150.

Scottish King bought by P. S Chilis. $140.

Humboldt Duke bought bv John Bid well, $150.

Red Prince bought by C. T. Elliot, $110.

The average for the cattle sold was over $100.

It is the intention of the Association to give annnal sales,
and e\ery opportunity will be given purchasers to obtain
choioe cattle from the best herds iu California.

Sale of Ayrshire Cattle-

Messrs. George Bemeot and Sou of Maple Grove Farm,
shipped last week on the Bteamer.City of Pekiu five head of
Ayrshire cattle, purchased by Mr. A. B. Fay for parties in
Japan, being the secoud shipment of that breed by the above
Darned gentleman to that country. The herd consisted of the
following named animals: Two-year-old bull Express 4503,
sire Archie 3432, dam Elaine 7401; four-year-old oow Ethel-
berta 9579, sire Melanctou 343S| dam Ethel Brown 4504; three
vear-old heifer Lavina 9522, sire Archie 3432, dam Lurline

dam Lady Faxon 7551, and two-year-old heifer Leoline 9865,
sire Ethelbert 4313, dam Lurline" 7S10.

Shpep are now sheared by electricity in Australia, Freder-
ick Wolseley, a brother of Lord Wolseley, having invented a
machine for tbe purpose. The method of usiDg the shears is
very simple the operator haviug merely to thro* a f riot ion
wheel into adjustment by means of a handle, and then push
the oomb into the wool, pressing it continuously forward and
keeping it as close as possible to the body of tbe animal be-
iDg operated upon. From ooe to one hundred shears oan
be operated atone time. By this mode the shearing is done
more meoifully than when done by hand shears.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED PY ABPHIPPUS,

SUMMARY.

The Ladies' Night exhibition at the Alpioe Athletic Club
rooms on Tuesday evening was a complete success. The
swimmers opened their season on Wednesday. The athletes
are getting down hoe for the coming field days. The wheel-
men are making active preparations for the 4th of July
tournament. The meeting of the Pacific Rowing Association
which was held on Monday eveuing last waB largely attended
and the delegates who were in attendance were of the opinion
that the coming season will be the most successful one Cali-
fornia has ever seen.

RONNHRS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC,

The weather at the present time is all that an athlete can
desire, and I he men who intend competing in the gameB of
the Alpine Club on May 4th and at the annual championship
meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. on May 30th are hard at work
preparing themselveB for the different contests.
The Lurline Club will probably be a member of the P. C. A.
A. A. before many weekB, and it is said that a c >ople of the
Lurline boys who intend entering the games on May 30th will
make the pace exceedingly hot in the sprint events for the
other crack runners. The Lurline Club will make no bid for
the pennant this year, and the club members will be fully
satisfied if their athletes can get away with a couple of the
gold medals.

A large number of the ClympicClub boys visited the club's
new grounds on Sunday and took exercise.

Eugene Kelly, under the guidance of Jim Jarvis, is train
ing for the championship one mile walk. On Sunday last
this promising young heel and toe ariist walked a mile con-
siderably under nine minutes.

Cooley ran two miles against time within the past week,
and jadging from the showing which he made he should well
be able to lower the long distance records at the coining ath-
letic meetings.

The members of the Garden City Athletic Club of San Jose,
Cal., are training hard, and it is more than probable that a
good many points will go to this club on May 30th. The
Scotch amateur champion 220 yards runner has become a
member of the club, and will represent it at the championship
meeting.

The fight for the flag will ^f course lay between the Olym-
pic and University Clubs, but there will be considerable
skirmishing done by the representatives of the Alpine, Gar-
den City, Acme and A'ameda Olympic Clubs. The Alpine
Club stands a good show for that place. All the clubs named
are determined to put strong teams in the field.

J. J. Moriarty, the well known distance runner, was re-
cently appointed a member of the police force.

The annual Spring games of the UniverBity Athletic Club,
will be beld on Saturday, May 24th. The cinder path, which
at the present time is in very bad condition, will be put in
first class order for the occasion. The programme has not
yet been made oat, and it is to be hoped that some of the
eventB will be left open. The out-door men will be in good
condition about this time, and the Btudents would do well to
give the outside clubs a chance to compete.

Some prominent members of the Caledonian Clnbare about
to try and establish new roles for the governing of the out-
door Bports held under the auspices of the club. Their
intention is chiefly to do away with money prizes.

The members of the Alpine Club, who intend taking part
in the crosa-countTy run to-morrow, are requested to meet on
the 10 a. m. Sausalito boat. Over forty names have been
signed to the entry list.

On Friday eveniDg of last week, DeWitt C. Davis, of the Olym-
pic Club, and Young Merles, of the California Athletic Club,
by mutual agreement met in the gymnasium of the Olympic
Clnb and settled the question as to which was the better man
atwreBtling. There had been keen rivalry between the men
for a long time, and it was thought that MerteB could easily
defeat Davis, as the former considered himself good enough
to meet Ungetman or Kolb The match was refereed by
George Meihling; Oscar Tolle officiating as time-keeper.
Mertes weighed 154 pounds, while Davis was 18 pounds
lighter. The agretment was that one fall was to decide the
match. Afiera hard struggle, which lasted 20 minutes and 30
seconds, the Olympian downed the California Club member,
and received quite an ovation for his plucky and clever work.
Thecontest was for glory, i o prize having been agreed upon.
For a small man, Davis has proven himself a wonder. He
first come into prominence as "a wrestler aboot five years ago,
when he was a member of the Pythian Athletic Club.

The chief event at the coming "Ladies' Night" exhibition
of the Olympic Club, will be the tug-of-war contest between
members of the club. Several of the strongest men in the
club are in training for the contest, which promises to be
very interesting.

The entries for the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club games,
which will come off at the Bay District track on Sunday, May
4th, will oloee at the clab rooms, 706 Powell street, on Satur-
day evening. April 26th, at 10 o'clock. An entrance fee of
fifty cents will i-e charged for each event. The programme
consists of twelve events, four of which are open to all the
amateur clubs. Good prizes will be awarded, and everything
possible will be done to make the meeting a success.

Some of the lady admirers of E. P. Moody, the genial cor-
responding F-ecre'ary of the Alpine Club, played a good ]oke
on that athlete a coupleof days ago, Mr. Moody \va«i to have
appeared in an exhibition high jumping contest at the recnt
"Lilies' Night" exhibition, and as the moths bad Bomewhat
diwfigmei his knee tights, Mr. Moody politely requested a
young lady friend of his to sew up the holes which the moths
had eaten through his pants. When they were returned by
a committee of two females, Mr. Moody, of course, was rro-
fuse in bis thanks for the supposed good work which had
been performed. The package was laid aside for a coup'e of
days, and on ''Ladies' Night." Phil was about to step before
the vast assemblage of ladies and gentlemen arrayed in his
newly mended tights, when bv chance one of his friends dis-
covered to him the tact that his fair friends had been more
than kind to him. They had embroidered the emblem of
the olnb as well as the initials of his name on that Dortion of
the tights which would show be*t when a person's back is
turned to the audience. It was a narrow escaoe, and the
corresponding pecretary will be more careful in future when
donoing his exhibition costume.

The flowprs and shrubs which were planted some time ago
at the new Olympic grouodB. are beginning to spring up, and
by the 30th of May the place will present a very pretty sight.

The Directors of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club have
requested us to state that M. C. Giry is no longer connected
with the club, his resignation haying been requested by the
Directors. The members of the olub are very muoh incensed
over the unmanly conduct of Giry in some of his actions
towards the club. From what we have been given to under-
stand Giry has left himself liable to arrest for trying to take
property out of the club ruoms.

THE WHEELMEN.

There will be a picnic run of the Bay Citv Wheelmen to
Lake Merced to-morrow. The start will be from the corner
of Van Ness and Market Sts , at 10 a m.

The roads are now in good order and several of the local
men ride far into the country on SundeyB.

A large crowd of wheelmen were noticed in the park on
Sunday last. A good many club riders rode out to the Cliff
House during the moonlight nights.

We would be glad to print notes of interest from the wheel-
men in theBe columns.

IN THE SURF.

The bath houses did a rushing business during the week
on account of the unusually warm weather.

The Lurline boys are getting into trim for coming events-

The Terrace Baths at Alamada have changed hands.

The members of the Civil Service Swimming Club opened
their season on Wednesday afternoon. The club's headquar-
ters are at the Shelter Cove Baths, foot of Mason street. H
O. Farrell, Henry McGowan, P J Fay and a couple of other
members eutered the water for the first time this year.

AT THE OARS.

Despite the bad weather on last Sunday a good many o*
the different crewB were out. Now that the season will Boon
open, the oarsmen are trying hard to get into trim and a little
rain does not seem to bother them in the least.

Julian, the Australian oarsman, Ed Finley and Douber, of
the Ariel Club, were out for a practice spin.

Whitkopt, Phelan, Nunan, Willie Adams and Manheim of
the same club, were oat for a row.

H. A. Pless and Henry Tauk took the club's Whitehall boat
and rowed to Washington street wharf.

W. C EUis made bis debut aB a single scull artist. He was
made fully aware of the fact that he was no better than the
average novice when he took his initial dump overboard. He
is a big, strapping young fellow and promises to make an A 1
oarsman.

The South End Club appcars to be standing on very weak
legs just at present. The membership is very small indeed,
and the prospects are that the club will soon disband.

A very important meeting of the Pacific Eowing Associa-
tion was held at 706 Powell street on Monday evening last.
Delegates from all the associate clubs were Dreser>t. Messrs.
E 0. Colvin, E Flanders. Al Rothkop. W. E. Ellis and H.O.
Farrell were appointed a Picnic and Regatta Committee, with
fnll power to act. The picnic will probably be held at Harbor
View Park. Robert Christie applied for reinstatement. His
case was referred to the Investigation Committee.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The P C A A A held its regular weekly meeting last even-
ing. There was to hive been considerable business trans-
acted, but owing to our going to preBS bo early io the week we
are unable to report the proceedings in the present issue.
Next week full particulars will be given.

The Golden Gate Athletic Clnb does not appear to have
been hurt any by the fact of its having been compelled to
withdraw from the P C A A A. The members take just as
great an interest in the club as ever, and every afternoon and
evening the gymnasium is filled with young athletes who de-
sire to improve their science and muscle. Young men can
join the amateur annex by paying a small initiation fee. The
monthly dues of the annex members are one dollar.

The ladies' athletic class at the Olympic Club rooms does
not appear to be as big a snoceBs as was anticipated. The
fair ones are now satisfied to allow the "horrid men" to take
all the "gentlo" exercise.

Ladies Nieht.

The Alpine Athletes entertain their Lady Friends.

On Tuesday evening last the large gymnasium of the Al-
pine Amateur Athletic Club at 706 Powell St., was filled by
an audieice of about 600 ladies and gentlemen who had as-
sembled there at the invitation of the members of the Clab to
witness their initial "Ladies Night" exhibition. The people
present were of the most respectable class which put to flight
at once the slighest doubt as to the social standing of the
club, lhe Alpine Clab is the only club ovtside of the Olym-
pic that has dared to hold a "ladies night" and the Alpine
members being somewhat new in the business were anxious
to discover if the ladies were "with them." They were, and
the club is now an assured suoceps. The ball was well lit
with electric and gas lights, and all the arrangements ejpec-
ially the seating accommodations were perfect. The full pro-
gramme was run off smoothly and there were none of the
long waits generally found at similar exhibitions. I P. Beau
made n first class Master of Ceremonies and duriog the eve-
ning he made some very appropriate remarks in the interest
of the club The exhibition began at 8.30 with boxing by
W. H. Dooley. Both men are clever and the bouts which
were very spirited elicited considerable applause from tbe
audience.

Prof. Henry Aosot and one of bis pupils, Ashton R. Fry
next made their appearance in a fencing with foils contest.
Prof. Ansot it will be remembered is the swordsman who
fought the duel with Prof. Trochet at the Grand Opera House
a conple of }rears ago.

Mr. Fry made an excellent showing against his more expe-
rienced teacher, and the ladies especially applauded their
act.

lhe third event was a fine exhibition of club swinging by
Prof. G. C. Rouse, the club instructor.

E Barr and W. Henry, two members of the clnb, next
performed on the swinging rings and their very line work was
well received.

Event No 5 was boxing by M Gallagher and Partnei, Otto
Lnhn and J. Horl. Each conple did clever work.

The next event w-»s the presentatiDn of th* all round med-
als won at tbe late field day of the clab. J D. Garrison was
presented with the gold championship medal, having earned
26 points in the sports. C. A. Eldridge, for winning 25
points, received tbe second, silver, all ronnd championship
medal, and P. N. Gafney, with a record of 21 point?, took the
third silver all round medal. After his medal wbs p'nDed on
Gafney made a short eoeeoh, in which he s^id that be felt
assured that the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club was now an

assured success. He remarked that although the club just
at the present time could not expect to have its rooms Jur-
niehed with twenty dollars a yard carpets, or with oil paint-
ings by the old masters, still it could expect io the near fut-
ure to be able to furnish its gymnasium and club rooms in a
comfortable manner. In oonclusion he said that there was
one thing the clnb could be sure of, and that was athletic
talent. The club has on its membership list at the preeent
time the names of several pr in inent athletes whose perform-
ances in the near future would build up the club to a level
with any other club on the Pacific Coast,

When Mr. Gafney finished his remarks the members passed
around ice-cold lemonade to their lady friends, and then tbe
lion of the evening made his appearance in the shape of J.
Birr Buchanan, the all round amateur champion. Mr. Bu-
chanan, who is an exceedingly handsome and well propor-
tioned man, was warmly received, and his fine appearance
and great muscular development made a great impression on
the ladies present. He give a splendid exhibition of heavy
clab swinging, heavy weight lifting and weight lifting with
his teeth. At the conclusion of his task Mr. Buchanan was
presented with a handsome floral piece from the club. The
floral tribute was gotten up by Lean Brothers, florists. The
letter "B" was arranged in the centre of the piece.

Prof. Ansot and Ashton R Fry appeared for the second
time in a fencing act. This time broadswords were used. As
before their wurk was a success and the pupil again proved
himself to be quite an adept in the fencing line.

Parallel Bars were next performed on by Messrs. Rouse,
Barr and Henry. Professor Rouse's work was very superior,
he doing some very hard acts with perfect ease. Messrs. Barr
and Henry also showed up to advantage, bnt of course their
work was not quite as finished as that of the Professors, who
has been in the business for over 15 yearp. The well known
clnb swinger, Frank Hart, appeared next and his scientific
performances with all kind of clubs drew forth rounds of ap-
plause. Every one present agreed that he was well entitled
to the championship which he holds.

The closing event was a set to between Prof. W Smith, the
club instructor, and his pupil W. Cook. This proved to be
the best boxing exhibition of the whole evening and Prof.
Smith, who, by the way, is an old pupil of Eddy Graney's
duoked and dodged and swung and countered in a manner
that caused even the ladies to applaud continually. Cook
made a tine standing against the Professor and proved him-
self to be a credit to his instructor. The entertainment was
over at 10;30, andthelirge crowd left the rooms in good hu-
mor after having witnessed one of the best athletic exhibitions
given in San Francisco for a long while. These "Ladies
Nights" will be given about every three months and it is
probable that advance will finish the next one.

challenced tbe winner of the coming race on the Paramnttn
River, in Australia, to row for the championship and $2500
a side, and tbe caMe informs us that both Peter Kemp and

Editok Breeder axd Sportsman:— I thought it might be
of interest to the owners of the dogs, now in my charge, to
learn something of my new quarters. I have leased a place
of twenty acres, one mile from Vega Station, and five miles
from Watsonville.

Visitors can stop off at Vega, and be at my place in fifteen
minutes, and see their dogs on birds wilhin an hour after
leaving the station. I have some promising puppies, for the
Derby. Mr. Norman Hideouts' (of MaryBville) "Lord Chum-
ley", Mr. Eamon E. Wilsons "Ned", and several others are
to be entered. By the way, it iB about time you should com-
mence to mention the Derby, and stir up the "slow ones."
I also have several all aged starters. Geo. T. Allendfr.

Field Trial Derby.

Editok Breeder axd Sportsman:— As the time is drawing
near when the entries for the Derby for 1891 will close, it be-
hooves the sportsmen to see that their young dogs are en-
tered and placed in the different breakers hands to be pre-
pared for the race. That the coming trialB can be made the
best yet ran in the State, and to equal the great Eastern
Trials there is no doubt, if the sportsmen will only take the
interest that they should, for with the tine blooded dogs that
are now being bred by the different breeders there should be
not less than fifteen starters in the Derby, and fully that
many in the Aged Stakes. Sportsmen who have no Derby
entries can easily purchase them and by communicating with
such breeders as A. B. Truman, theBassfords and other noted
breeders can find winners and dogs that when broken would
gladden the hearts of the most ardent fancier.

Do not think because you have failed to win before that
it is only folly to try again, but see that the puppies are en-
tered. Some of the best dogs the writer has had were not
Derby entries and to run them in the aged Btakes was un-
fair because they were too heavily handicapped on accouDt
of lack of age and experience

So now brother sportsmen send in your entries and your
dogs to the breakers and my word fcr it we will show you
one of the beBt trials and some of the beBt work that the
followers of the California Field trials ever saw.

Galt, April 6lh, '90- M. D. Walter.

A California Dog" Appreciated-

843 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, O.
A. B. Truman, Esq., San Francisco, Cal.

Dear Sir: — Permit me to congratulate you on your success
with Pafcti Croxteth, the bitch I sold to you in '88. I have
often since then regretted parting with her, and my object in
writing you now is to Bay that if she is in perfect health, etc ,
that I will give you $250 for her delivered at express office.
My friend, Mr. Munhall, informed me that while in your city
last summer, he offered you $200 for Patti, and as it was
refused, I know you value her highly. However, if you
do not wish to sell, I would like to make you a proposal. I
think you will agree with me when I say that there are no
dogs in California, or vicinity, worthy of her quality, when
you think of breeding, and also that it is a pity not to breed
auch a bitch.

I presume Patti will be in season very shortly now, and if
you will ship her to me (at my expense), I will breed her to
Molton Baron. I mention this dog, as I consider him the
most desirable dog in America to-day to breed to. He is of
the same type as Patti; his breeding is superb, while as a sire
I would say that my uncle bred a litter from him last Fall
which exceeded in beauty any litter I ever saw. Only two
are now living, and they will certainly be heard from before
long. However, as regards his stud record, I presume you
Bre fully posted. But to return. If you will send her on I
will breed her to him at my expense, keep her until she has
weaned the litter, return h6r to you free of charge, and when
the poppies are three or four months old, send you half of
them, also at my expense.

Let me say here, that I am going abroad the last of this
month, to be gone until the laBt of May, but if you trust Patti
to me, you can be sure she will not be neglected, as I will
place her at our country place, twenty miles from this city,
whore she will be in charge of a thoroughly trustworthy and
experienced man, who will give her the best of card and
attention. As regards myself, I would refer you to Mr. Mun-
hall or any other sportsman of this city, as of course you are
not personally acquainted with me, and woold want to be
pretty Bure as to whom you would send such a dog as Patti.
I hope, if you do not desire to sell, that you will favorably
consider my proposition, aB I consider it a fair one, and am
also sure that the cross I mention would produce something
ahead of anything in the "doggy" line yet produced in this
country. As soon as you receive this, please wire me what
you think of my two oilers.

If you will send Patti to me to breed I will immediately
send you the amount of the express charges here and you
can sand her on at once. I will also mail you a receipt for
the bitoh and a contract, stating what I have agreed to do.
Be sure and write me, as in case you send her I want to make
all arrangements for breeding her, etc., before sailing. Again
expressing the hope that you will favorably consider one of
my offers and thus give Patti an opportunity to distinguish
herself in a more substantial manner than heretofore, I am,
Yours most truly. Worthing ton Hoyt.

March 5. 18f)0.

P S. — Should you prefer, I will, during my absenoe, place
Patti in charge of It. B. Morgan, Akron, O., instead of at our
country place. He has trained and handled for me and is a
good man, and has a splendid place for dogs at Akron, see my
description of his kennels in the Am. Field, of June 8th,
(about) last. In either case as before stated, I will pay all
expenst. of express charges, stud fee, keeping, etc, W. H.

Dog owners should not forget that the Pacific Coast Field

Trial Club's Derby for setters and pointers whelped on or af-

isco. When dogs are entered the nameB, date of whelping,

ex, color, and names of sire and dam should be sent.

F. A. Taft at Home.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman. — The sixth annual bench
show of the New England Club opened on the 1st with a
benching of our 700 dogs. I send you a catalogue, al*o a Bos-
ton paper, with a list of the awards. It is the finest exhibition
that I have ever attended. There were but few poor dogs in
any of the classes. The pointers, setters, masliffa, St. Ber-
nards and Great Danes were particularly fine, making it very
difficult in many instances for the judges to make their de-
cisions. You will notice that in the Challenge Class for Gor-
dons that Littie Boy wins over Beaumont. This is the 4th time
that they have met, and they now stand even as to winnings.
Messrs. Watson and Davidson were there, and inquired after
their many California friends.

There was an interesting scene yesterday when over twen-
ty blind girls and boys (from ten to twenty years old) from
the institution for the blind were led by their attendants into
the judging ring to see the dogs, which they did with their
hands in a thorough manner, enjoyiog it muchly. A number
of dogB of different varieties from the largest to the smallest,
were introduced for their inspection. They would feel of
every portion of their bodies, commenting among themselves.
They were very much amused at the head of an enormous
bull dog. The attendance has been good so far, and the
weather fine. Yours,

Fred A. Tapt.

We are pleased to learn that Mr. A. B. Truman will visit
Los Angeles during May, and exhibit his dogs in the dog
show. His red setters Lady Eloho T. and Mike T., and his
pointers Patti Croxteth T. and Queen Croxteth, will be taken

down.

The letter to Mr. A. B. Truman from Mr. Worthington
Hoyt about Patti Croxteth T., which is printed elsewhere, is
an indication that interest in dogs owned in these regions is
not confined to local circles. The offer is s most flattering
one, and reflects credit upon the maker. We hope the cross

may be made.

Mr. Kittle's Luke (Carl E — Bessie) should be a fashionable
sire among English setter fanciers. His beauty, breeding
and field excellence all entitle him to pre-eminence. The lit-
ter by him, noted elsewhere, is of the very highest quality,
and as fine in every respect as dogs of the breed ever are.
Mr. Wilson is to be congratulated upon the fact that so many
dog puppies were in it. He will reserve those which please
him best and the others may be had on application to him at
21 Kearny street, city.

The owner of the Mount Washington Kennels at Pitts-
burgh, Pa., Mr, S. L. Boggs, has been in San Francisco for a
week, as nearly every body knows. Mr. Boggs beside owning
Paul Gladstone (Gladstone — Lavalette) has a way of ac-
quiring a sort of proprietary interest in everybody he be-
comes acquainted with and the consequence is that bis friends
jn this city may already be numbered by hundreds. For
ways that are peculiar and for aggressive Hkeableness that is
unique there is but one Boggs.

Entry blanks and premium lists of the Southern California
Kennel Club's bench show, listed for May 6th, 7th, Sth and
9th next, may be had on application to this office, a supply
having been received on Monday last. The show will prob-
ably be as large as any hitherto held in California. Mr. B.
F. Naphthaly, of this city, is going down with a string of
dogs, and others will attend. If Mr. Geo. T. Allender, of
Watsonville, Mr. M. D. Walter, of Gait, or Mr. Wm. De
Mott would agree to go down, owners could send their dogs
jn confidence that the animals would be well oared for and
well shown. The Los Angeles Club is Bhowiog sound ]udg.
ment in keeping its expenses down to a point at which the
receipts will undoubtedly equal them. Los Angeles and its
environs are well worth visiting, even if no dog show, with
its myriad attractions, was at hand.

There is no more effective way of teaching a dog to 'carry
his head well up than over the wet meadows, or more pleas-
ing opportunity to watch his work than in the opeD, where
English snipe are always found. Being in the open is one of
the chief attractions about snipe shooting. You constantly
have your dogs before you, and you oan observe their intelli-
gent working in locating the birds, says au exchange. Thete
is always good, clean, open, shooting, no branches or trees
to interfere or to be avoided, and the bird is iu sight from
the lime he flushes with his sharp akeap akeap, until he falls
to your aim or goes twisting away from view over the green
meadows. True, the walking is often difficult over the moist
ground, with frequent watliDg ot pools aod rivulets, but then,
one cannot have everything when hunting. Oat, too, on
the broad low lands, with the horizon far away on all sides,
and the fresh breeze blowing in your face, a feeling of free-
dom and solitude is felt Dot experienced in the wood. Every
shot, too, is a pozzle, as the snipetwiBts away, first this way,
then that, in his zigzag flight, and more tbao a usual source
of satisfaction is felt as you nee him, with lifeless wings,
pitching down to be retrieved. And what a delicious dish

they make for supper when broiled with a tiny piece of bacon
pinned to their little fat bodies, and served hot on soft brown
toaBt, with a glasB of dry sherry alongside. An Epicurean
could not do better. May ye little wayfarers long flit over
our country in your migratory flights.

The Fish Commission.

The April meeting held on Tuesday afternoon last at 220
Sutter street, was not attended by a large numbeT of persons»
because of a misunderstanding as to the date of the meeting.
The Board of Fish Commissioners usually meets on the firs t
Tuesday of each month, but for sufficient reasons, the date
for April was changed to the second Tuesday.

After presentation and approval of the minutes, the report
of the Chief of Patrol, Mr. F. P. Callundan, was read and
ordered on file. The report was as follows:

The Honorable The Board of Fish Commissioners —
Gentlemen:— Since the last report made by the Chief of Pa-
trol very mnch has been accomplished by the deputies in the
matter of stopping the takiDg of small fish by Chinese and
other fishermen.

Frequent raids upon the fishing settlements along the
shore of the bay in South San Francisco have been made and
od several occasions men were arrested either in the act of
fishing illegitimately or with evidence of having done so in
their possession.

The raids were made in common row boats, and only with
difficulty could the Chinese junks be overhauled. If it was
possible to procure a steam launch from time to time a great
portion of the fishing grounds could be visited in a few hours
with certainty of being able to run down any depredators
discovered. Your deputies have also endeavored to put a
stop to trout fishing during March, and it is believed that
some good haB been done in that direction. The difficulties
lying in the way of 0De who attempts to patrol a trout stream
are such that under the present law it U next to impossible
to detect violators of the law in the very act of killing trout,
as is necessary to insure convi-.tion . The sport is one neces-
sarily pursued in quiet, and those who do most of the fishing
out of Beason are alwayB on the alert to detect the approach
of possible officers. The usual rigid inspectian of tbe mar-
kets and commission houses has been maintained during the
month, and but one arrest made, in which case deer hides,
from which evidence of sex had been removed, were traced
to the possession of a glove manufacturer of this city.

During the two weeks last passed the marketsof San Fran-
cisco have been offering striped bass varying in size from a
half pound to two and a half pounds. The presence of the
fish in sneb numbers has excited remark, and it has been
intimated that your Honorable Board should prohibit their
being taken until they have grown to much greater size. In
the absence of specific instructions, your deputies have not
interfered in the matter of striped bass.

The first week of March waB spent in pushing the prosecu-
tion of the twenty-one Chinese jailed at Martinez for taking
small fish. Twelve of them paid fines of $60 each, the money
being apportioned according to law. The nine remaining
were convicted, but moved for a new trial. The motion was
denied by the court, and it is probable they will now pay
their fines.

On March 15th, in company with Deputy Innis, the Paper
Mill Creek was visited, and a search made for trout fishers.
A number of men were on the creek, but none were detected.

On Maroh 25th, with Deputy Curley, South San Francisco
was visited, but the day was so stormy and the bay so rough,
that nothing could be accomplished.

The 27th was also passed at South San Franoisco, and rive
Chinese arrested with bag nets and small fish in possession.
The case is now pendihg in the Police Court of thiB city before
Judge Lawler. On the same day. Deputy Tunstead" placed
the firm of Conkling &Co. under arrest for having in posses-
sion deer-skinB from which evidence of sex had been removed.
The case was tried on April 1st, and Judge Joachimsen, of the
Police Court in this city, dismissed the case, remarking in
doing so, that the evidence teemed conclusive, but as it was
a first offence, he would dismiss the matter.

April 4th, och and 6th were spent in San Jose and Santa
Cruz. In both cities, strong sportsman's clubs exist, whose
officers and members are actively in sympathy with the work
of your Honorable Board. In Santa Cruz, particularly the
Secretary of the Rod and Gun Club, Mr. E. C. Williams, and
Deputy Fish Commissioners Barlow and Googin, are pushing
the work of stopping unseasonable fishing aDd shooting. The
club offers a reward for convictions, and the poaching has
ceased practically in that vicinity.

For the comiDg month the collection of licenses aDd the
prevention of the taking of small fish, will engage the depu-
ties. Respectfully submitted, F. P. Callundan,

San Francisco, Aprils, 1890. Chief of Patrol.

Some of the suggestions made in the report were discussed
by the Commissioners, Hon. Joseph Eoutier, Hon. J. Downey
Harvey and Mr. Eamon E. WiIbou. With reference to
striped bass, no action was taken further than to request Mr.
Wilson to draft a suitable ordinance, which will be presented
to the Board of Supervisors of this city, limiting the size of
the fish whioh may be offered for sale. A batch of bills from
the State Hatchery, the deputies and other sources were then
examined and audited, and after some general remarks by
members and others, the Board adjourned.

Judge Joe E. Carney, the great fly fisherman of Sierra City,
descended upon San Francisco on Sunday last for his first
visit since 1854. He found the city somewhat changed in
several respects. His favorite swimming hole in '52 at what
iB now Battery and Commercial, is now, much to his discom-
fiture, a half mile up town. The""excellent cotton-tail shoot-
ing which in those early days he used to eDJoy, where the
Palace Hotel now stands, is no longer available for the reason
that for five miles beyond that point the closely built city ex"
tends.

Judge Carney has been so long a denizen of the pathless
woods in rugged Sierra that upon reaching San Francisco he
purchased a tack hammer, and as he wanders about blazes
bis way by knocking chips from corner buildings chipping
paint from the Lotta Fountain, and in general acting like the
genuine free-i-pirited old mountaineer that he is. He must
be a good fisherman because iu all the three decades during
which he has lived beside the Yuba nearly all the trout he
has caught have averaged about four pounds in weight.

The opening of the trout seaaon at Spokane, Washington,
■was highly appreciated by the admirers of the fascinating
sport of fly lushing. The rods and reels which have been
stored away were taken down, and the speckled beauties
came to gritf. Spokane boasts of a number of experts, and
there are numbers of others who are learning the art rapidly,
aod who may soon be classed with the experts. The sport is
unlimited in Eastern Washington, and the fish run large and
are game as possible.

The Ne3ts and Bffgs of Townsend's Junco
{Sunco Townsmdi) and Ban Pedro Partridge

[Oreortyx piclus conflnia).

BY A. W. ANTHONY.

measuring inside 70 mm. in width by 40 mm. in depth. The
material used in its construction is the parte as that in set
No. 17S, with the addition in the lining of a little cow hair.
The eggs of this set are alike in color and markings, and
appear at first glance more like eggs of Sialia mexicana than
tho^e of any junco with which I am familiar. They are uni-
formly bluish-white, with a few of the faintest minute specks
of burnt umber, on the large end, which are not at first
noticeable. Incubation was well advanced. Measurements,
20x15; 19x15; 20x15 mm.

Set No. 179, May 1, presents features different from either
of the others in their profuse markings, they being. I think,
the heaviest I have seen in this genus. The ground color is
faint bluish-white; one is heavily marked with large spots of
raw umber and lilac, chiefly collected about the larger end,
but covering the entire shell to a great extent; another has a
heavy ring of raw umber encircling the large end, mixing with
finer spots of lilac, a few fine markings straying over the
entire egg. The third has similar markings, but collected
about the small end, though it is hardly proper to call either
end small in this case, the specimen being unique in having
ends almost equal in diameter.

Unfortunately the nest was not saved with the set. The
eggs measure 20x15; 19x15; 18x15 mm.

The single nest of the San Pedro partridge that I have seen
was discovered near the base of the San Pedro Martir range
March 29, 1889. It contained but a single egg, while tbe fe-
male, which was secured as she left the nest, famished a
second, which she was about to deposit. These specimens
are of the usual pyriform shape common to the genus, and
not distinguishable from eggs of O. pictus in my collection
from Oregon.

In color, creamy white; measuring in millimetres, 37x27;
36x28.

The nest was a mere hollow under a manzanita bush, filled
with dry leaves from the manzanita and lilac.

A Sacramento man claims to have foisted a young hare up
on a cat with kittens, and states that the old cat thinks more
of the foundling than of its own progeny.

A number of pheasants were imported to Vancouver re-
cently and placed in the Park aviaries, where they will re.
main for a few days and then be turned loose at suitable

spots.

Our Tennessee Letter.

In the latter part of April and first of May, 1889, this junco
was found by Mr. Charles H. Townsend and the writer to be
very abundent throughout all of the San Pedro Martir re-
gion, above 7,000 feet elevation, and many nests could doubt-
less have been taken had the time at our disposal permitted
of onr making a more extensive searoh. But three sets were
taken and these vary to such an extent that a description
and comparison is of interest.

Set No. 178, collected by A. W. Anthony, from San Pedro
Martir, Lower California, taken May 6th, 1889, at an eleva-
tion of 9,000 feet. Nest composed of soft, dry grasses and
lined with finer grass stems and hair of the mule deer. Is
unusually thick, but soft. It was very artfully concealed be-
hind a thick bunch of grass and under the overhanging edge
of a large granite boulder. The eggs were three in number
and slightly incubated. The shell is pure white in two spec-
imens, while the third shows a slight greenish wash. This
specimen is also the most strongly marked of the set, being
heavily blotched with pale lilac, chiefly on the larger end,
but extending in small flecks over nearly the entire shell.
The other two are marked with small spots of pale fawn color
with a few small spots and lines of burot umber collected
about the large end. They measure in millimetres 19x15,
19x15, 19x14. The nest measures externally 130 mm. in
width, by 60 mm. in height; inside diameter 57 mm. by 30
mm. in depth.

Set No. 177 was taken in the same locality May 5tb. The
nest was sunken to the level of the ground, apparently in a
cow-truck, and well hidden in the tall grass on the edge of a
running stream. Owing to its location the walls are very
* in, and the nest much smaller than the first mentioned;

Gallatlv, Tenn., April 2, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Lust Sunday morning
I took a run down to West Side Park to see the horses take
their work, and to hear the usual race track gossip that is
always to be heard at the track. Only a high wind served to
make the trip a disagreeable one, but as it takes cyclones and
tornados to keep me away from the horses when an opportun-
ity is presented, I boarded the South bound train, and in less
than two hours found myself sitting on the outer rails of the
track at West Side Park. Watch in hand. I anxiously awaited
to see something "move," and after El Bio Bey had taken a
preliminary gallop, I had sufficient cause to start the
"ticker," for the big colt was going to work a quarter. The
younger brother, Eey del Rey, was to accompany him, and
they seemed to skim over the ground very easy and without
any exertions. I once thought they would gallop past in
about 0:30, but, nevertheless, they were going, and when I
stopped my watch, it registered 0:26, many utheis made it
0:2o£. They both finished strong, and looked like they
could have gone in 0:24. I saw Don Jose and several of the
two-year-olds out, but they did not try for fast time.

Major Elliott gave Bridgelight, Sam Doxey and The Wan-
dering Jew an airing, but I don't think they were sent their
best. Old Bridgelight never looked better than he does now,
and that is saying a good deal. He was a pretty constant
performer last season, and when he starts he will bear watch-
ing.

Jonas Kleiser cut Osborne loose for six furlongs, and he
surprised the knowing ones by finishing the distance in
1:184.

Tom Severs had Miss Maud and Ebyme out on the traok,
but they did not Bhow any fast work. They are both looking,
and, Seyers sayF, are doing well. Blantyre was given a mile
in 1:49, carrying 133 pounds: He finished the lust quarter
in 25 seconds, and he did not seem at all distressed. Blantyre
was almost a failuie last season, but he looks now as if he
would take a good deal of beating.

The greatest mile at Nashville so far was made by Idle
Girl, a sister to Kidnap. She worked a mile last Wednesday
on a heavy track iu 1:46}. She carried 142 pounds in this
trial, and if she does not get stale, she ought to be dangerous
when she first comes to the post. She was recently purchased
by Ed Gorman, who will take her to Toronto, Canada. She
will make the Canadians stretch their neck at any distance
from a mile down to a half.

Secretary Gillook received a letter this week from P. M.
WeBt, whose stable is now at Louisville, asking that stable
room be reserved for ten head of his horses. In West's string
is the good colt Grayson, whose chances to capture the Ken-
tucky Derby are pretty good, Longsides, Bonita and that
speedy daughter of Geo. Kinney, Flyaway. The West stable
has been expected at Nashville all the week, but there is some
delay at Louisville.

Many say that Jonas Kleiser has another Big Three in the
colt Osborne. He is ceitainly a good looking youngster, and
just why he should not win is hard to account for. Uncle
Jonas has always got a "^ood thiog" in his stable, and he
may surprise the talent with Osborne, as he did with Big
Three last season, when the bookieB were laying odds of a
hundred to one against the colt.

At this writing the Scoggan Stable is still in Louisville, and
contrary to all reports, the horseB will be taken direct from
Louisville to Memphis, where they will begin the campaign.
On this side of tbe Eockies we hear but little horse talk, but
what we hear is Knott's name frequently mentioned. He
and Spokane will meet at Nashville for the first time this sea-
son, and if Spokane's leg is O. K. we may see a race. Tenn
esseeans must have bacKed Knott heavily in the Suburban,
as I note that his price has fallen from 40 to 1 to 12 to 1. All
this was done inside of a few days, and when he faces the
Hag on the Suburban day, there will boa mint of winter
money hanging over the gelding.

Th«n there is Eico, the Californian. His price in the Sub-
urban has been considerably lowered. Eeport has it that

Mr. Eose has been baoking him, and this alone gives the
speculators food for thought. Well, we Tennesseeans have
again pinned our hopes and purses to Proctor Knott, and if
he fails this Scale will be more noted for "soup" than as the
home of the blooded horse.

Latest news from Memphis ib to the effect that everything
will be ready for the spring meeting which begins in ten
days. Last Sunday Blue Blazes and Tom Stevens were giv-
en a trial mile in 1:47. They worked together, and the latter
was the stronger at the finish. Helter Skelter, the imported
three year-old filly by Pell Mell has reeled off" the fastest mile
at Memphis— 1:46— carrjing loads ot weight. She ought to
win the first races she starts for.

Quite a Btir was created in turf circles here a few days ago
upon the announcement that Kitty Cheatham had gone lame
at Memphis, and would not be trained any more this season.
The report was without foundation, and lacks confirmation,
as the namesake of the Tennessee actress is now taking her
work at Memphis, and is Baid to be the best of hcr ape
there.

The programme of the Washington meeting is out, and Is
a very attractive one. Secretary Gillock has left no stone
unturned in trying to make the coming meeting a success,
and he has prepared a programme that is not to be excelled
by any on this side of the Mississippi. The "card" for the
seven days is one fit for historic Jerome Park or classic Mon-
mouth. All in all, it is tbe best programme the WeBt Side
Park management has ever offered.

Mr. Sbafer tells me that Kate Fisher, dam of Kitty Cheat-
ham, Long Fi6h, Col. Clark, etc , has foaled a chestnut cols
by Blazes. Kate Fisher is one of Tennessee^s famous
broodmares, as everything she has prodnced that has been
trained has been a winner. There have been but five foals
at Peytona this season, all of which are by Blazes. The Pa*
ytona yearling are said to be the finest lot of youngsters ever
bred in Tennessee, aod that is saying a good deal.

There are now thirty-five .foals at Fairview. There will
probably be as many more to come this season. The Fair-
view people have great faith in the ability of imp. Mr. Pick-
wick to Bire good ones, and I believe he is the premier stal-
lion of the harem. He was well represented last seiBon by
Picnic, Phcenix and Eeelesborough— all stake winners.

The Memphis "talent" has selected the filly Helter Skelter
to win the Tennessee Derby, run at Memphis tbe first day of
the coming meeting. She worked a mile there last Sunday
in 1:46 carrying 132 pounds, and on a heavy track at that.
She will have to do some running to beat Eiley, Jake Saun-
ders and Blarneystone Jr., while there is a filly or two in the
same race that can run a little.

The Memphis management has arranged a programme for
two day's matinee racing. The matinee races heretofore held
at Memphis have been a success, and with the hold that rac-
ing has upon Memphis people, I wonder why they do not
hold a Fall meeting each year after the close of the Nashville
meeting. A week of good racing in the late Fall would create
considerable interest in the sport, and would assist in making
the spring meetings a success. Kennesaw.

Our Southern California Letter.

The Eose string of runners will have reached the Metropo-
lis before this letter appears in print. The horses have win-
tered well and there are aome fivers among them. Of all the
Brooklyn Handicap candidates, Eico is probably in better
condition than any of them with the possible exception of
Los Angeles. The three year old has been especially pre-
pared for this -event, and will be dangerous with a good
j ickey in the pigskin. Mr. Eose has played him to win to
Borne extent. Eico has shown a half in 48£ in his work, but
has not gone oyer the Brooklyn distance faster than 2:13J.
All the two year olds have been worked five-eighths in 1:04.
They are a most promising Jot of youngsters. CoDrad, Fairy
and Oscar are regarded as the best. The fastest one of this
trio will be sent out to .capture the great American Stake, and
it will take a sensational youngster to catch the judge's oye
ahead ,of the California bred youngster. Tbe Btriog that will
make the Eastern trip is as follows: Mikado. Tycoon, Eico,
Rover, Conrad, Oscar, Masrico, Fairy, Flight, Bianca and
Peiii.

The Directors of the Sixth District Agricnltaral Associa-
tion have declared the May meeting off. There were several
reasons for this action. The running events did not fill very
well and the Directors thinking tha.t they could not present
a good programme worthy of the patronage of the public,
deemed it expedient to call the meeting off. This was a dis-
appointment to many of the local horsemen who had been
to some expense in training horses for the meetiDg. Another
unfortunate feature was the fact that a letter containing a
number of ei tries did not reach the Secretary until 2 o'clock,
on April 6th, although they were mailed at the University
Post Office, on April 1st. The letler took just six days to
travel three miles. Isn't that another record for Los An-
geles?

Your correspondent had quite a pleasant chat with Jake
Gries, of Compton, the o'her day. Mr. Gries is an enthusias-
tic running horse man, and is the owner of the great stallion
Bachelor. By the way, some of the Bachelor colts will make
their debut this season. Bachelor was a gi eat race horse,
and with the proper opportunities should make his mark in
the stud.

I want to put myself on record for Proctor Koott in the
Subnrban with Prince Eoyal as a second choice. If the
great son of Luke Blackburn faces the starter in good trim,
Idon't see anything in the race to get away with him. I am
not Proctor Koott crank by any means. I expected him to
win the American Derby to be sure, but it is a matter of rec-
ord that the horse was lamentably out of condition, although
this fact was not known out here until afier the race.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

George Vignolo has a yearling by Alcazar out of a mare by
Mohawk Chief. The colt was one year old on April 6tb, and
on tbatday he was sixteen hands, one inch high. How is
that for a colt?

There is a distinguished new comer at Eosemeade. It is
a Stamboul-Minnehaha colt. Who wants this aristocratic

Len Eose will take Eichmoud Jr. East.

Nick Covarrubiaa has quite a string of trotters and runners
in training. He owns a two-year-old brother to Gambo wlm
should be speedy.

It is very doubtful whether Atto Eex will be seen on the
circuit this year.

This iB tbe time of year to bear about sensational trials.
Tbe latest is wafted in from Eosemeade, where Walter Maben
is handling Dr. Wise'B Glendine. No two agree on the time,
but an average would make it about 2:21.

Cy Mulkey has taken his string north for the Blood Horfp

year-fid California-bred bay trotting stallion Glen Dower, by
Gay Wilkes, 2:15£, dam Woodford Qaeen, by Almont; second
dam Virginia, by Billy Towues. Glen Dower's book for the
season was foil at $100:

I bad a pleasant visit on Tuesday last, from H. G. Com
stock Correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times.
He will devote his time for the present to the bangtail division,
taking in both the Blood Horse Meeting here and the State
Agricultural Society's meetiDg at Sacramento.

Mr. J. Sutheil nd, Hatch Farm, Pleasanton, has in train-
ing two lilliefl owned by N. J. Stone, one the daughter of Ha-
zel Kirke 2:24, one by the some sire, dam a thoroughbred.
He thinks well of them both, and especially of the Hazel
Kirke filly. He Bays she can be put in the 2:30 list thiB sea-
son.

A practicnl horseman says that when the time for the mare
to foil approaches, and she Bbows no signs of havirjg milk,
to give her a ha f gallon of sweet m Ik, mixed with enough
bran to make a nitsb; salt slightly and feed once a day aB
lorg as they think uenesHary. A mare will eat it greedily,
and it seeun to be just what they want.

S^me weeks ago, a match ra^e occurred at the Oakland
Track between Eoeinal. Tony Lee and Alameda Lilly, but
the owner of Lee was dis-tatiried, as he was beaten, and there
is some t«lk of a return match between the grey pacer and
Alameda Lily. Eoeinal has -been sent away for stallion ser-
vice, so he cannot content with the others,

man ia the art and mystety of training and driving a trotter,
basing given to the three fastest mares of their tiuie— Flora
Temple. 2;19fl Lady Tborne, 2:18i, and the pacer Pocahon-
tas, 2:17 J — theii best records, is still alive and hearty, al-
though well on toward e gbty years of age.

Judge W. E. Greene, of Oakland, is the happy owner of a
Director colt, dam Aldane by Wissahickon. The youngster
is a deep setil brown, 6tar in forehead aDd white heels be-
hind. The Judge thinks most people will see those white
heels as they drive under the wire behind his colt. He
thinks 2:10 would be an appropriate name for him.

Sam CatoD, who has wintered at Loa Angeles, started for
New York on Thursday of last week. Before leaving he
bought Cousin Joe, a pacer by Dal Sor; a fnl! sister to Cou-
trcctor, and the br f Amber, 2 years old, by Stamboul. In
addition to these he took back those be brought out to Cali-
fornia, thirteen head belonging to Mr. Simpson of Cuba, N. Y.

F. L. Duncan, of Cbico, had a very narrow escape from
death a few days ago. He was diiving a young boree on the
road, and the colt becoming frightened at something turned
suddenly and upset the cart, throwing Duncan out, the un-
fortunate driver sustaining a fracture of the left shoolder.
However, he is doing as well as can be expected nnder the
circumstances.

Mr. O H. Lockhart of Burbank , near Los ADgeles, has pnr
chased from J. B. Mason the b. m. Pond Lilly 2:29* by
George M. Patchen Jr, dam unknown. The price paid was
$1,000. Shortly after the purohase, the mare gave birth to
a filly foal, by Alcazar 2:20i. Mr. Lockhart has named the
newcomer Alcazette, as she looks as much like the sire as
the name is.

Pete Williams is working a few trotters at the Oakland
Track and I can assure readers of the gossip that Silver Bow
will prove a wonder this season for he is moving in fine shape
and can show well within 2:30 now. Pete is also moving

The little sister of Axtell has been known to the world un-
der the name of Can't Tell, but it appears that this name is
not acceptable to the owners. Mrs. Barnhart states: "It has
never been recorded, and we may see fit to change the
name,,' and Williams, the joint owner, is of the same opinion.
He says ''that no colt can be expected to trot hampered with
such a name."

Last week John Faylor took the three year old colt Lord
Wilkes, by Guy Wilkes 2:15i, dam Minnie Wilkes, by Sul-
tan 2*24, to Fresno and delivered him over to George Starr,
who will take the colt back East, for J. B. Honaker & Co. of
Penick, Ky. This is the right cross for speedy animals and
we expect to hear good reports from Lord WilkeB when his
progeny are old enough to trot.

Last Saturday a match rate took place at Petaluma between
two SaDta Rosa horses owned by W. Byicgton and W. E.
Healy. The race was for $200 a side, and was won handily
by Dandy, the horse owned by Healy, ho taking the first,
second and fourth heats in 3:08, 3:08, and 3:09A. Prince
took the third heat in 3:13. About two hundred persons were
fn attendance, many of whom came over from Santa Kosa.

W. S. Johnson, owner of Edwin C, pacing record 2:15. has
sold his faBt horse to a party calliog himselt John Thomas,
of Findley, Ohio. Edwin C is by Elector 2:21i. dnni Lady
Cooney by Venture 2:271. The price paid was 55000- Al-
though a great deal of Mr Johnson's time is taken up with
his sportsman headquarters, corner of Mason and Eddy
streets, he will be on the circuit this seasjn with one or two
fast ones.

J. H. Shults, Esq , of Brooklyn, N. Y., started East on
Monday last, havi. g msde a cireful examination of many of
the California Stock Farms. It goes without sayiog that the
gentleman was pleased with what he siw, and he eot figures
on several promising colts that struck his fancy. Mr. Shults
is a pleasant affable gentleman, and made many friends dur-
ing his short stay on the Pacific Coast.

Many of the authorities quote Sidney's age as nine, but in
conversation with Mr. Salisbury a few days ago he stated
that the well known horse was named after his little son Sid-
ney, who was born the same year ihat the horse was. Now,
Sidney Salisbury is only eight years old and necessari'y Sid-
ney the horse must be the same. Mr. Valensin should have
Wallace make the correction at once as the mistake may lead
to difficulty in after years.

A horse ODly requires opportunity to show what he can do
in the stud, and Mambrino Wilkes, although hia opportuni-
ties have been restricted, has shown his great power to pro-
duce speed be having four in the 2:30 list. Last week Mr.
Ashby, of Oakland, sent to the harem of Mambrino Wilkes
the standard mare By-By got by Nntwood 600, dam Rapidau
by Dictator, 2nd dam by Edwin Forrest 851, 3rd dam by
Mambrino Chief 11. If the progeny of this union is not a
grand performer I will be greatly mistaken.

I see by the exchanges that Sunol, 2:10£, and Axtell. 2:12,
are barred from the Hartford Capital Stakes for foals of 1886.
Now, my fellow paragraphers, I have studied well the conse-
quences of the following assertion, and am prepared to have
you all assail my truthfulness, but I can prove what I say.
There is a three-year-old stallion in California to-day, that at
this early time of the year, trots faster than either Axtell or
Sunol ever did during their three-year-old form; therefore, do
not be surprised if Axtell's 2;12 is beaten in 1S90 by a Cali-
fornia bred colt, and I Bhall not be astonished if even Sunol's
2:10* is wiped out.

The telegraph informed us that Chas. Marvin started back
immediately on the conclusion of the Stanford sale, but in-
stead of taking the train to San Francisco, he paid a visit to
Prospect Hill Stock Farm, owDed by Miller <te Sibley at Fran-
klin, Pa. The proprietors showed up all their young stock,
and were especially proud of some yonng St. Bel's which
have all the phenomenal speed of old Electioneer. One al-
though not a year old until the 23rd of May, was driven by
Marvin at a 2:40 gait. His dam is Nabia by Harold. Mr.
Marvin was highly pleased with his visit and has an exalted
opinion of the Miller & Sibley youngsters.

In a short time Charles David will take up a string of
horses to the Napa Course, where he will prepare them for a
summer campaign. Nona Y. will be the principal one, and
Charlie is satistibd that she is better than ever she was iu her
life. Gold Medal the pacer, will be a candidate for the free
for all class and there is every indication that be will be
able to hold bis own against the best of them. A two year
oldoolt by Whipjtleton, dam Nona Y. will be exercised. He
is a big fine lusty fellow and looks every inch a trotter. Sev-
eral other good oDes will be taken along and Mr. David has
a bright out look for trotting honors.

Th^ Buard of Directors of the P. C. B. H. A. have secired
the services of two veteriuaries, one of whom will be in atten-
dance constantly during the races.

You pay your money and can take your choice.

"Nashville, April 1. — It is reported here that El Bio Key
is suffering from lung fever at West Side Park track, and
reliable turfmen have stated that El Bio Key was blowing
hard after work on Saturday and was wrapped up in neck
clothes. The colt was led to the stable and treated for throat
tronbles."

Nashville, April 2nd. — El Rio Rev is perfectly souod and
takes his work in a kindly manner. He is stout and lusty,
showing up in good form, and it can confidently be said
tbat he will surpass his efforts of last year.

An Eastern contemporary, in giving pen pictur°s of promi-
nent horsemen, says that J. Beach, owner of Altamont. is
slightly built, of medium height, fair complexion, and wears
a blond moustache. Mr. Beach is one of the most progress-
ive breeders on the North Pacific Coast. Late in the seven-
ties he took Altamont to Oregon, and iu a few years this son
of Almont produced a marked influence on the horse stock
of tbat State. In 1889 five of bis get entered the 2:30 list, a
number exceeded only by one other son of Almont iu a sin-
gle season. Mr. Beach owns a Dumber of well bred mares,
and from them bred the performers Wallula 2:29$, Almonette
2:291, and Oneco2:29j.

Harry J Agnew has made another ten strike by purchas-
ing from A. L. Whitney the noted stallion Dawn 2:18|. As
the horse has been extensively advertised to stand at Petalu-
ma this season, it was deemed expedient that Mr. Whitney
should carry out his contracts, so Mr. Agnew will not gain
possession of Dawn uDtil the first day of August, by which
time he will havf all the arrang ments completed about his
breeding farm. The price given for the hcrse was $15,000,
and at the figure he is one of the cheapest horses in the
State. Mr. Agnew is on the right road to success, and with
his knowledge of what Eastern buyers want, the day is not
far distant when the Agnew Farm will be one of the celebrated
ones of California.

R. S. Strader, 6on of Col. Strader of Lexington, Ky.,
departed for home the beginning of the week. He brought
with him two mares for Mr. Hobart, one of them Nancy Lee
(dam of Nancy Hanks, 2:244} by Dictator; the other was
Nola by Nutwood, dam by Bowman's Clark Chief, he by
Clark Chief. Col. Strader sent out the mare Valdosta by
Nu'^ood, dam by Mambrino Patcben, to breed to Stamboul.
In the same car was Bon Boa by Baron Wilkes, dam Odd
Stocking by Happy Medium; Baroness hy Baron Wilkes,
dam Mary A. Whitney, 2:28, and a filly by L^rd Russell.
B >n Bon will be bred to Stamboul, and the otber t* o to Gay
Wilkes. The three last mentioned belong to Mr. Scannell of
Tennessee.

The only representative of the noted Von Wilkes, yearlirg
race record 2:38} (Von Wilkes was lost by fire last Mav) is
Lady Von Wilkes, bay filly, both bind legs white, foaled
March 4, 1890, by Von Wilkes, yearliDg record 2:3S-§; 1st
dam Lutie S , by Victor Von BismaTck; second dam Mat tie
SentioeL by Almont Sentinel: third dam K>ite by YaDkee Boy
Jr.; 4th dam by Woodpecker, etc.

This beiDg the only representative of the phenomenal Von
Wilkes, and being so strongly inbred to Hambletonian 10, she
is prized as a keepsake. She traces five time to Hambleto-
nian 10, through Bismarck, Wilkes, Sentinel and Almont,
twice to Clay, three times to Mambrino Chief, once to Pilot
Jr., and then on thoroughbred. She onght to be able lo do
honor to her sire and kindred.— Paris Kntuckian-Citizen.

Mr. C. J. Hamlin is nothing if not original, and, according
to a Snnday paper issued in Philadelphia, one page of which
is devoted to original horse matter, Mr. Hamlin is prepar-
ing to convert Belle Hamlin into a runner, and according to
the same authority. Senator Stanford, relying probably upon
the influence of the thoroughbred dam of Palo Alto, desires
to start the celebrated stallion in a raoniug race against
Belle.

This would certainly make a novel contest, and would
undoubtedly draw more dollars into the treasury of the Buff-
alo Driving Park than did the Harrv Wilkes — Belle Hamlin
battle of last year. Here is what the Philadelphia Item
states:

"Pa Hamlin says he will run Belle Hamlin a race against
Palo Alto or any of the flyers dnring the circuit. Senator
Stanford would like to start Palo Alto against Belle Hamlin
or any other horse. With such expressions Hying around
looae there should be no trouble in arranging a match."

A correspondent writes from FarmiDgton: It may be of in-
terest to your readers to know that the Fnnk Bro3. of this
place have secured the services of John McConnell (Buster)
as trainer and driver for the comiDg season, aod that he will
have full charge of the three quarter mile track at their place.
As understood at present he will not be restricted in bis work
but will be allowed the privilege of handling any outside hor-
ses that may be sent to him to train. The Funks have quite
a Dumber of good trotters on hand and it is confidently ex-
pected that he will be ready with them to open up at the
first meeting on the circuit. ■ Buster" has already done well
in the sulky having eiven records to Albert W. 2:20. Sidney
2:19£f Tom Rider 2:20-1, Fleet 2:24, Lorena 2:30, Simmooolou
2:294, and m\ny others which I caonot think of for the mo-
ment. Mr. Drais will have one or two to train and others in
the neighborhood are going to take this opportunity of pre-
paring their stock for track purposes. Thp track will be put
in excellent repair and no money will be spared to make it the
equal of any training grounds in the state.

Col. Harry I Thornton has been well and favorably known
on all the running tracks of the. State for many years, he
having owned in his time many famous thoroughbreds.
This year will see his colors also in the Bolky, as on May 1st
he will Rend to Sacramento for training purposes, the' bay
stallion JameB Madison by Anteeo, dam Lucy Patchen by
George M. Patcben Jr., 31, This grandson of Electioneer
has already shown that be is possessed of t-peed, and it will
be no trick for him to make a mark low dowD in the "twen-
ties." Five yoUDgsters will also be seDt along, the first being
the bay filly Emma Nevada, two years old, by James Madi-
son, dam K-»te Dudley by St. Joe. The next is a brown colt
called Chandelier by JameB Madison, dam Betsey Trotwood
by Abbotsford. Still another is a two year-old bay filly by
James Madison, dam Lady Elmo by Elmo. The fourth oce
is a yearling by James Madison, dam ZeaDa by BerliD. The
last of the lot is the black colt Reflector by Director, dam
Oriole by Monroe Chief. With this selection, Mr. Swan,
manager for Col. Thornton, should be enabled to laud several
first monies.

'California" Abdallah.

Many times we have been asked as to the breeding of Bass-
ford's Abdallah, Hani's Abdallah, Paul's Abdallah, Bryant's
Abdallah and the California Abdallah. The following letter
xeceived from Jos. 31. BasFford, Sr., now of Solano County
gives us the following history of the horse; —

I left San Francisco on the 26th day cl August, 1S57, on the
Bteamahip, Sonora, Capt. Eicbard Whiting, with tbe inten-
tion of buying two good boree3 and three good mares as a
starter for a breeding farm, having for some time determined
in my own mind that an enterprise of the sort would pay in
California. I already had a fairly good ranch and therefore
only needed the proper kind of stock. We arrived iu PaDama
all right, but on the other side we connected with the Cen-
tral America, on which we had a very rough time, which, ul-
timately resulted in the ship'9 going down, and I arrived in
New York in my stocking-feet, with a handkerchief tied
around my head for a hat. My fond horse calculations were
knocked in the head, and consequently I will make this let-
ter to you as short as was my stay in New York.

I bought Abdallah from Henry Chanfrau, brother to the
well krown actor, paying him for the horse $1000. Chan-
frau had acted in New York as an agent for Steve Whipple,
and I therefore had every confidence in him, I left New
York in March, 1S5S, on the ship Northern Light, Captain
Tinkelpaugb; laid over one trip on the Isthmus, there being
a perfect flood of passengers. Among others who staid over
with me were Frank Jones, who had in his possession Prin.
cess (dam of Happy Medium), a mare that afterwards became
well known on account of being taken from California by
Eoffto trot against Flora Temple; another horse that re-
mained over for the trip was Stoekbridge Chief, Jr., who was
in charge of P. Vibard. We all arrived in San Francisco safe
and sound, and I considered that I had the very best horse
that up to that time had ever been brought to this State. The
pedigree as I received it at the time, and which has siuce
been verified, is as follows: Abdallah, by Eysdyk's Hamble-
tonian, he by Abdallah 1; the dam of my Abdallah wi>s by
imp. Eoebuck, the 2nd dam being by Henry, who was the
competitor of Eclipse in the great races East. I sold the horse
to E. L. D.Bryant of Benecia in 1860, after serving ten
mares with him in 1S59, as I thought he was too young in
that year for service, he being then only four years of age
In I860 Bryant had him served to sixty mares at §50 each,
which was a handsome price at that time.

Bryant sold him to Ben Fish of Santa Clara County. Fish
sold him to Capt. Paul of May Held; Paul afterwards sold him
to Capt. Ham, in whose hands he died at twenty-one years
of age, killed, I am satisfied, through kindness, as he was
grain fed constantly, and was given little or no exercise. God
blesB the old horse; he was a good friend to me when I need-
ed friends. Yoors sincerely,

Jos. M. Bassfoed.

handsome saddle horse. He is a dark brown, sixteen handB
high and his style of travelling iB very graceful and easy. C.
E. Sherman is justly proud of this handsome fellow. In the
pools Capitan sold for $5, Semito for S2, and the field for S3.

The horses in this race were in superb condition. The
betting was lively— Sid Law $20, the field $10. A great deal
of money was bet on this race at these odds. The horses
behaved well at the starting point, so that the starters had no
trouble to send them oft' at a most even start. Sid Law im-
mediately took the lead, and Maid ran a length behind. Sid
Law won the race most handily. Many of the Bports with
their watches caught the time -49. Sid Law is a handsome

He ib very speedy; it is said that he ran a trial one half mile
dash three dayB before the race in :48. This race ended the
afternoon's racing. The Stewards of the Arlington Club
deserve credit for the manner in which they have conducted
their meetings. Their special care has been to give satisfac-
tion, to treat all impartially and justly. They have done a
great deal towards entertaining the numerous visitors from
the East, and we all earnestly hope that they will return
next winter. H. B. Duryea, the President of the club, has
worked iudefatigatly for the success of each meeting. His
efforts are thoroughly appreciated. Charles Fay, Secretary,

The Judges' Stand.

It has been published and claimed to be true tha* John
Splan once said. —

"I can do better when I am honest, and when I see
men in the stand who are impartial and who will pun-
ish me when wrong and protect me when right, I will
drive an honest race; but when I look up into that stand
and see there a man whom I can steal out of his clothe3,
and he won't know until next morning he has been stol-
en, I am out for the stuff."

Have we any such men in California? There is not a
track in the State but what the public feel that they
have, at some time or o^her, beeD victimized by the sharp
practise of drivers, and one of the main objects of each
Board of Directors should be to see that thoroughly re-
liable men are in the judges' stand. There is no abso-
lute necessity for the judges being members of the Asso-
ciation in whose stand they serve, so that genllemen
should be selected who are well up in the rules, able to
distinguish when "funny business" is going on, and
with backbone enough to apply the strict letter of the
law in regard to penaliies. Make the drivers understand
they must be honest, or that they will have to chaDge
their business, and then we will have the best horses win
irrespective of how the money is on in the pool box. Sev-
eral of the Associations secure the services of Mr. La Rue
each year, because it is a well known fact that the would
be crooked ones are afraid of having him. deal out justice
to them, and consequently they try to win. "We need
many more such judges, and they can be found if the
Directors will only take the matter in hand early
enough, and we would advise a liberal payment to such.
Do not ask good, capable men to give up their business
for pleasure alone, but make it an object fjr them to do
so. Let the year 1890 mark the beginning of a new era,
in which satisfaction to the public will be the first thing
considered, and combinations among the horsemen en-
tirely broken up.

Goodwin's Official Turf Guide.
Some few weeks ago we received a letter from a turf-
man in New Jersey, asking if Bolero had ever won a race

in California, giving as his reasons for the inquiry that
a protest had been entered against Bolero, the horse
having been named in a maiden's race at one of the New
Jersey tracks.

Goodwin's Guide shows that on Saturday, Sept. 10th,
1887, Bolero won a race at Oakland, but from the files •{
the Breeder and Sportsman we learn that Laura
Gardner won the race, with Bolero second. The Goodwin
Bros, wrote a letter to this office, stating that they had
received official notice of the result frcm the Secretary
of the Golden Gate Association, and that ois letter states
that Bolero was the winner. The Secretary says he
cannot remember to have sent any official notification to
the office of the Guide, and that if he did so, it must have
been copied from the books exactly as they are. Not
deeming it of very great importance we did not publish
the letter Bent from the Goodwin Bros., and have r<
ceived another, which is herewith appended. —

New York, April 3rd, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:—
In He Bolero.

On March 4th last we mailed you a letter regarding the
above named subject, and are somewhat surprised to find
that you bave not displayed the same readiness to publish
onr reply that you did the article which tended to give the
impression that our Guide was wrong. Will you please ex-
plain to u a why you suppress our reply, and" oblige yours
truly,

Goodwin Bros.
Having mislaid or destroyed their former letter, it is
impossible to publish it.butcan simply say that no slight
was intended, and it is surprising that so few mistakes
appear in the Guide, and the one alluded to is probably
a typographical displacement.

The Detroit Driving Club.

The announcement is made in the proper columns of
the Breeder, and Sportsman this week that the Mer-
chants' and Manufacturers' Stake, guaranteed to be
worth $10,000, is offered by the Detroit Driving Club for
their annual blue ribbon meeting. This Association has
held for many years the premier place among the Asso-
ciations ou the grand circuit, and this year will be no
exception to the general rule, as the Directors have deter-
mined to surpass anything ever accomplished before.

The guaranteed stake alluded to will be trotted on one
of the days of the meeting which occurs July 22, 23, 24
and 25. Ample time will be given to each of the nomina-
tors so that the exact date will be known. The stake is
an open one, free to all horses eligible to the 2:24 class
on April 15th, 1890.

The entrance fee is only SoOO, and is payable as fol-
lows: §125 at time of subscription, which is to close
Tuesday, April loth, 1890, each subscriber to give his
residence and post office address at the time of makirjg
the nomination; the second payment of $125 is due
Thursday, May 15th; the third payment of a like
amount is due Monday, June 16th; and the final pay-
ment of $125 must be paid on Monday, July 7th, at
which time horses are to be named. No subscription
will be accepted unless the first payment shall accom-
pany same, ae subscribers are liable only for the amount
actually paid in. As in the case of all like stakes, a fail-
ure to make subsequent payments shall be construed to
be a surrender of the subscription to the Association.
Subscribers also may at any time transfer their subscrip-
tions. The entrance money received shall be devoted to
the purse, and it is guaranteed by the Association to be
not less than $10,000; however, in case the entrance
money should exceed that amount by less than $500 that
will be also divided, but if the excess should be over
$500, then the extra money will be devoted to a con •
eolation purse for horses starting and winning no part of
the original purse. The purse ur purseB will be divided
into 50, 25, 15 and 10 per cent for first, second, third and
fourth horses. As there are quite a number of horse8
going on from California, it is more than likely that this
very liberal guaranteed purse will find full favor among
those going from this Stale, aud it is only necessary to
advise our readers that nominations can be made to Mr.
Campbell, Secretary of the Detroit Driving Club, De-
troit, Michigan.

Tha Carson Combination Sale-
We wish to call the attention of onr readers once
to the grand combination sale of standard-bred trotters
thoroughbreds, Clydesdales, Percherons, fine roadsters,
work horses, registered and grand Holstein cattle and
registered jaekB, to be sold by John P. Sweeney & Co.,
of Carson City, Nevada, commencing Tuesday, April
loth, and continuing until the entire catalogue is dis-
posed of. AmoDg the trotters are many of the get of
Echo, Gibraltar, Prompter, Buccaneer, Blue Bull, Sig-
nal, etc. Many of these are already in training, notably
among which is Alpha, 2:40 (trial 2:25J), by Privateer,
son of Buccaneer, dam Fawn 2:30£ (trial 2:22),
Marion, son of Mambrino Chief.

Triumph, by Prompter, he by Wilson's Blue Bull,
dam Lady Brighton by St. Clair; Gibber, three year eld
record 2:47, and a ninth heat at that; Ernest Harris, a
very promising young colt, by Gibraltar, Sam Lewis
2:24J, by Echo, and many others that should be worth
lots of money to those who expect to have horses on the
circuit.

• Old Gibraltar, that good old game horse, will also be
sold, and we have been creditably informed that he is
faster to-day than ever he was in his life, and that he is
in perfect condition.

Among the thoroughbreds, there will be the get of Joe
Hooker, Norfolk, Lodi, Breckenbridge, Three Cheers,
Langford and others.

There is also catalogued the celebrated Holstein bull,
Saratoga, and a number of fine calves and heifers by
him, together with other well known thoroughbred Hol-
steins- The sale will be positive and without reserve,
that those who attend may feel sure that there will be no
bidding in or by bidding.

The Runnymede,

Coldstream
Sale.

and Loudon

In the advertising columns will be found the annual
announcement of the yearling sales, of Runnymede,
Coldstream and Loudon Stock Farms. The sale will
take place near Paris, Kentucky, ou May .3tli and is un-
der the supervision of Messrs. Baxter & Stringfield, of
Lexington, Kentucky. These yearlings are the get of
such sires as Hindoo, Billet, Leonatus, Onondaga, Fon-
•o, Alarm, Springbok, Sensation, King Alfonso and
Bend, Or. They include full brother to Hanover, Jim
Gore, Bedford and The Lionoss, Ballston, Perkins. Mado-
lin, Burton, Millie and Miss "Motley. Sisters to Runny-
mede, Barnes, Meriden, Servia. Cameo, Heathen Hindoo,
Rose, Lillian Lindsay, and Sunbeam. Half brothers to
Pure Rye, Ocean, Middlestone, Catalpa. Miss Thomag,
Winslow ami Stouey Montgomery, and Longshore, and
half sisters to Alarm Bell, Warren Lewis, Shelby Barnes,
Florence E., Brussels and Kilkenny.

To those of the California breeders who are interested
in thoroughbreds, the sale is of great importance as the
choice youngsteis to be disposed of can hardly be
equalled in the country.

On application, catalogues will be sent from this
office.

The Belle Meade Sale.

Attention has already been called in these columns to
the public auction, April 24th and 25th, of all the stal-
lions and thoroughbred brood mares at Belle Meade
Farm. This will be the greatest sale ever held in the
United States, with possibly the exception of the one
held by Mr. Lorillard in October, 1886, that was a truly
marvelous sale, but we confidently predict that the Belle
Meade one will surpass it, as the great Iroquois, Luke
Blackburn, and other noted sires will be sold; the brood
mares are the peers of any to be found in any country,
and when it is considered for a moment that seventeen
daughters of imp. Bonny Scotland will pass under the
hammer, it will readily be seen that there are good
grounds for our belief that this sale will surpass the
Lorillard one. There are also sixteen mares by imp.
Great Tom, and as his progeny have nearly all proved
producers, it is fair to presume that they will also be
eagerly sought after.

The catalogues have been sent to all prominent breed-
ers, and we expect that there will be a number of Cali-
fornia breeders represented at the sale.

The Blood Horse Meeting-

It has been usual to speik of any meeting of the Blood
Hcrse Association as the "Mud Horse Meet" owing to
the rainy weather which have so frequently fallen to
their lot on the dates claimed, but from present appear-
ances it wculd seem that beau' if ul weather is in store for
the society. The race going public of San Francisco
have always given approval to well conducted race
meetings and for years have recognized the fact that the
representative organization of the Pacific Coast is well
worthy of every support that can be given it.

On looking over the list of those who have entered
horses, we find Senator Stanford, Senator Hearst, Col.
H. I. Thornton, Hon. L J. Rose and Hon. L. U. Ship-
pee, names that are a sufficient guarantee to the public
at large that the horses will be run on their merits and
the contests be of an exciting nature. The Directors
have left no stone unturned toward making a successful
meeting, and it is impossible to give any reason why the
Spring gathering should not prove a financial success.

Another Auction SUe.

Messrs. Killip & Co announces this week that they
will offer at public auction on May 2d, by order of S. C.
Tryon, Esq., the well-known pacing mare Pocahontas,
2:22£, who is heavy in foal to Dexter Prince. The grey
gelding El Monte, 2:29£, will also pass under the ham-
mer, together with the brown pacer Castello, 2.3 H, and
the three year-old trotter Majester, two-year-old record,
2:49£. Some twenty others will be sold, all of which
will be fully described in the catalogues, which will be
out in a few days.

Boy Wilkes.

Taking advantage of a visit paid to the Pleasanton Stock
Farm we took a look at the youngpacing stallion Roy Wilkes,
which has wintered in California, and improved wonderfully
thereby, at least Mr. Davies, his owner, says the horse was
never in such 6ne condition in his life. He is a seal brown
in oolor, 15| hands in height and weighs in the neighborhood
of 1,000 poands. In bodily conformation he is apt to remind
the spectator of old George Wilkes, being very much like his
grandsire. He has a massive neck, built on the Patchen
line, but there is the breast, barrel, shoulders, back and legs
of Wilkes. His legs cannot be improved upon, the hooks
being simply perfection, and he has excellent feet. He has a
fine intelligent head, and seems to know at all times what is
wanted of him. Of a kindly disposition he takes to his work
in a good natnred manner, aDd although he has been in ac-
tive atud service for some time, his owner drove him at a
2:20 gait pacing and at word of command had the beautiful
horBe strike a trot, doing better than a "thirty clip." Mr.
Davies seems to feel confident that he can beat all stallion
records with Boy Wilkes, and proposes to fit him especially
for exhibition miles. It is probable that the coming season
will be his last as a pacer, as Mr. Davies has made up his
mind to only start him in trottiog races after this year. Roy
Wilkes taken all in all, is one of the handsomest horses we
have ever seen, and he should be a valuable animal for tbe
head of a breeding farm. There never was a gamer horse
ever seen on a track and be should stamp the same char
acteristics on all of his get.

A Use for Skim Milk.

Sales.

J. B. McDonald, of Marysville, sends word as follows:—

I have made the following sales: To James Linden of Sac-
ramento (for other parties) tbe mare Fedora, record 2:30J. by
Brigadier, dam American M«id. Price $2500.

Bay mare Patch Work, by Brigadier, dam by Signal. Price
$1500.

To C. W. Godard, of Sacramento, chestnut mare Beckey
Magee, by Brigadier, dam Magee mare, Price $500.

Tbe well known turf writer "Aurelius" contributes an ar-
ticle to the Horse and Stable, part of which is herewith
copied, as it is well worthy of perusal.

Several years ago I became acquainted with a gentleman
well known to New England breeders as a prize winner
against the severest cocp-tition. I refer to L. M. Payne, of
Hinsdale, Mass. He has been a regular prize winner for a
great many years back, not only at the American Horse Show
in New York City, but also in the great New Eogland Fair
at Worcester, Mass,, and at the BoBton State Fair. I know
of no person who has met with more success, considering the
size of his stud, which is a small one, and the number of biB
exhibits. His premiums were won with William Tell, son of
Knickerbocker, a magnificent youns horse and also with his
progeny for the mo-t part. That Wm Tell ahonld always
prove a winner in the show ring against such competition as
New England could muster, and that his progeny should
meet with such uniiorm Buccess as it has, is due primarilly
to individual merit. Still, a large degree of praise should be
given to the skill with whk-h Mr. Payne prepared his stock
lor exhibition, and to the materials he used in their develop-
ment. J say development, for I think the expression "forc-
ing process" should be abolished from the language of breed-
ers.

There is no such thing as a "forcing process" either with
children or colts. If the child or colt is heal. by, its appetite
will be insatiable, and it is simply answ ring the call of na-
ture to give it what it can eat. Neither can it be said that it
is advisable to give colts or children food rub in fattening el-
ements.

Charles Marvin was a* Kochester several years ago, and in
conversation with him he pointed out a colt saying, 'There
is a yearling that gets 15 quarts of oats daily, besides plenty
of grass and hay, and he eats his oats clean; I can drive him
a quarter in 35 seconds, and a half in 1 :1 1 or better." This
was Chimes, now owned by Mr. Hamlin,

The testimony of Mr. Williams as to the amount of food
that Axtell was given and consumed daily, in his two-jear
form, far surpasses that consumed by Chimes.

Dr. J. W. Day, Dr. Thomas S. Flood and other successful
colt handlers are unanimous in their testimony that there is
no such thing as "forcing" colts. Their b"rst condition is to
give them all they will eat, and with it exercise sufficient to
keep their digestive appatatns in order, and make them long
for their work, as a healthy boy or girl does for a romp.
Your steady going, meditative Bort of a boy, girl or colt is
not healthy, or else he doesn't get sufficient proper food.

To returned to Mr. Payne. No one can deny his sucoess
as a developer of calts for the show ring. His list of prizes
tells its own story A prominent feature of his regimen for
colls was the liberal use of skim milk, Polycrap says "he
woald as soon think of forcing a colt on wheat straw, as of
forcing an abnormal growth on Bkim milk." Whilst there is
no talk here- of forcing an abnormal growth, but on the con-
trary, of assisting nature to its normalstate of healthy growth
I may say that in my brief experience I have learned to value
wheat as well as skim milk. If wheat straw be cut when
the berry is ripe, but before it is old and dry, before the sap
and green has left the stalk and the straw has become woody, I
may say that the grain will not only make better Hour, but the
stalks or straw will make excellent feed, nutritions and heal-
thy, which tbe stock will eat readily. It would be better
than half the hay which is fed to the city horses, gathered af-
ter it has been wet, and which is productive of heaves. With
such wheat straw, and with skim milk and ground oats and
bran, with carrots every day, I would run my risk of getting
a colt into condition to exhibit any whtre.

I have conversed with several successful cattle breeders,
who were also breeders ot horses, about this very subject of
feeding skim milk. Amoog these was Dudley Miller of Os-
wego, well known all over the United States as a breeder of
Holstein cattle, and also as an interesting and judicious
writer on tbe horse. Another was Mr. Powell, of the well-
known firm of Smith, Powell & Lamb of Syracuse, N. Y.
Both of these gentlemen agree that it would pay horse breed-
ers to keep cattle for the sake of the skim milk, even if they
threw the cream away. Mr. Powell was especially an en-
thusiast on the subject of feeding Bkim milk to calves and to
colts. I know of no firm in the United States that receives
as large prices for their bulls and heifers as does this firm,
and their constant practice of feeding skim milk shows that
it must have merit, as measured by that most infallible rule,
public approbation. Messrs. Smith. Powell & Lamb have a
centrifugal separator, and the mil£ is put into it as it comes
from the cow, separated aud fed to the calves and colts still
warm.

It is worthy of note that the cream alone, from such a sys-
' tern, would well pay for the trouble and give a margin on the
investment, Separate the cream whilst fresh, bottle it up
and sell it to city customers, in pint or quart bottles, and I
am sure that customer would rush to patronize such a dairy.
I give the experience of others in preference to that of my
own, for the gentlemen mentioned are well known experts,
and I am sure would gladly give euch information as lay in
their power.

My own experience has been emphatically in favor of feed-
ing skim milk. I bought Troublesome, 2:25£ last spring with
a colt by her side by Sherman. I bought her low, and after
a conversation with Gen. Tracey I found that be, too, sold
her because he said, "She was a poor nurse." It is true that
she is not not such a milker as I could desire, though I think
at the present time was not properly handled. She was fat
and sleek when I bought her. but her colt was poor and thin.
It had all the fat producing elements which the mother could
give. I shortly afterward bought the colt, when a good heal-
thy man could put'bim under his arm and carry him off with-
out difficulty. His hair was turned toward his head and a
generally sorrowtul look always ha\inted bis conntenance.
I weaned him, and commenced to teed him 12 quarts of skim
milk daily, besides oats ground with bran. After a month
the improvment commenced, amd he grew rapidly, until at the
present time, as a yearling, he is far larger than the other two
of Tronblesome's progeny: Oracle 2:23£, trial 2:28 at three
years, and Hildegrade (dam of Cheltenham, 2:2S). As I be-
lieve Troublesome to be one of the best broodmares in thiR
couniry, it was with no little satisfaction that I saw that I
could give nor colts all the growth that nature intended they
should have. I have constantly fed skim milk for some years
back, to backward colts and fillies, and I believe that a good
herd of cows should prove a most valuable adjunct to any
stock farm.

At the request of Horace Browu. C. J. Hamlin supplied a
number of cows, and the results Mr. Brown tells me are most
satisfactory. It is my own practice to set the milk in a Coo-
ley oreamery aud feed in the morning what was milked at
night and vice versa, the milk being warmed to take the chill
off. I tbinkPolycarp's experimentsmust have failed, if they
rlid at all, for some other reason than that of the unfitness
of such food in its condition w.thout the cream. He Bays

I

"he is satisfied it is a fairly good food to make bone and
muscle." I think if he will write to Smith, Powell k Lamb
of Syracuse, N. Y., be will be convinced that one tirst-claRS
firm of dealers in Holstein stock, at least, believes in milk,
skim milk and not milk with the cream, as a proper food for
young stook.

It is by comparing notes that we will all learn, and I am
very much indebted to the gentlemen who have, as nBmed,
made a practice of feeding skim milk, for the benefit of tbeir
experience. It has been a scource of profit to me, and I feel
persuaded that it will be to every breeder who gives it a fair
trial. Ar/RELiire.

PERFORMANCES.

Grandee in a r*ce on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made ia 2:31. 1-2, thefirBt in 2:3:!.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it uot been for a Blight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there ia little question that be would have Bhown In public very close to the best record. On the
uakland track he waB timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

Ab a four-year-oid Memo only s'arted once -at Sacramento -when, altboueh out of condltion.be showed
great, speed, and improving as he went on, gre*t bopeB were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, but after Bhowing several very fast ruiieshiu leg filled and he was laid up for
the Benson. He in sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr Is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition !■ all that coula be desired, and Lis action superb. He iB a Bure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season.

1R hands, and weighs, in ordinary condition, 12 0 lbs. fie is a Bne Individual, good style and form, combineu

one break in five closely con'ested heats. He has great Bpeed and endurance, with tne pure, rapid Electioneer
gait. He trots without toe weights, and wears only 8 oz . shoes in front. He gained his record the past season
in the third heat, on a slow track, after making a Beason (serving over 60 mares), with scarcely any prepara-
tion. His record iB no mark of his speed. He waB a natural born trotter, and Mr. Charles Marvin consid-

SPRING MEETING

Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association.

The initial day of the annual spring meeting of the Pacific
Coast Blood Horse Association was as one especially selected,
being a typical California day, one worthy of a trip from the
East, to enjoy at this particular time of the year, perfect over-
head and all that could bi desired under foot. It is true the
ocean winds tended to sharpen up the air, bat only enough
so that the term "bracing" could be aptly applied. "Little
Jack Edgar" had been selected as the Superintendent of the
grounds, and he filled the bill exactly. The club house had
been cleaned as it should be, there beiDg forms and chairs in
plenty to accommodate the active supporters of the organiza-
tion. The members part of the graod stand was filled with
new chairs and even the reporters' stand had not been ne-
glected. The pencilling fraternity were present in force,
seven of them calling the odds to those who were disposed to
patronize the books, while Messrs. Killip and Whitehead at-
tended to those who were inclined to put their money in the
auction pools. Combinations are also a favorite form of bet-
ting and one of the boxes was set apart for those who wanted
jto tempt Dame Fortune in that way, while the mutual cards
' teould also be had by investing a "fiver." The wheel of for-
I •tune had a plentiful supply of the Qenius Sucker hanging
irouod, and the small change of spectators rolled in liberally
;o fill the pockets of the peanut vender. The attendance was
?ood. their being probably between 1500 and 1S00 persons
present. The five events on the card were well filled and
the contests exciting, with the exception of the last one, in
t which Palo Alto only had one competitor, and he was thor-
oughly outclassed, A pleasing innovation was the "bugle
3all," which for the first time was used instead of the old time

I I ;>ell. The carriage enclosure was well filled, some very hand-
jome turnouts being noticable. As the time approached for
, :he sport to begin, the judges of the day mounted the stand,
:fae selected ones being Col. Caleb Dorsey, of Stanislaus, C.
C. Boots, of the Elmwood Stable and Ariel Lathrop, Presi-
lent of the association. Whtn Palo Alto had entries in any
A the races, Mr. Lathrop would step out and Col. H. I.
Fhornton take his place. Dr. W. G. Ross was also used as
in alternate when Mr. Boots had an entry, and there is no
>etter judge of Hat racing in America. The timers were Ed-
vin F. Smith, Secretary of the State Agricultural Society,

■ William Sullivan, Manager of the Bancho Del Paso, and B.
F. Carroll, who represented the Directors of the Association.

■ ?or the first race the bookmakers were well patronized, the
taction pools doing little business. Abi was a strong favor-
te, her success last fall being still fresh in the minds of the

1 mblic, bnt to the julge in such matters, it was plainly seen

1 vhen her blanket was removed that she had been drawn too

ine. The supporters of Pliny were rather jubilant when

hey saw the condition of Abi, but they overlooked Al Far-

ow. who never looked better in his life. And right here a

, ivord of compliment is due the old trainer, Frank De Poyster,

rho had all of his string in superb condition, notwithstand-

'cg the bad weather of the past winter. Farrow was in the

>ink of condition and by his performance he stamped himself a

ace horse equal to the best, for although he conceeded every

lorse that started from four to twenty-four pounds, he won

aaily considering his impost. Prior to his suspension last

pring he was a general fav^ rite, and his win on Saturday was

ery popular. His new owner, Mr. W. H. E. Smith, of Hum-

! «oldt County, was naturally jubilant over the victory and

■?e Hill, the jockey, two fifty dollar bills for his ssrvices.

Classified as on the programme, the Introduction purse was

he opening race, in which there were seven starters, the

ighthname on the programme, Oro, being scratched. Henry

ValBh, of Palo Alto, was the starter, and the flag fell to a

[ood send off, A 1 Farrow, taking the insidernnning, almost

immediately. Before the horses reached the wire, Guido
stumbled and fell, throwing his rider quite a distance, but
fortunately neither horse nor jockey were injured. Al Farrow
was the first past the stand, with Pliny and Baggage fighting
for place honors, and the three leaders remained in the same
position until the outcome. Coming down the homestretch,
Pliny was sent for the leader, but the big bay had too much
in reserve, and he landed the money for his stable by a
length, and it could have been by several if necessary.

The time is wondeifol when the stason of the year is con-
sidered, and the weight carried taken into consideration.
Eylton only carried 106 pounds when he made his mark Of
1:47$, and that in June, so that the difference stamps Al
Farrow's performance as a much better record. The follow-
ing is the

SUMMARY.

The California Stakes, for two-year-olds, brought out nine
promising youngsters to face the starter, who in this race
was C. T. Boots, Mr. Walsh having Kinfax in the race. This
race was of more than passing moment, as it reintroduced to
the public, the colors of ex-Senator L. J. Robo of Los Ange-
les, who quit the running turf many years ago to take up
the trottfrs, and it goes without saying that his victory in
this event was the source of much gratification to his friends,
who congratulated him warmly on his success. Tne old
gentleman was heartily pleased, and we trust that his initial
win is only the fore-runner of many more. At the third call
from the bugle, they all started for the half-mile pole, and it
was only with considerable difficulty that Mr. Boots could
get them off in something like decent shape. When the fla°
finally fell, Fairy and Homer made fight for the leadership"
with the latter a head to the good; Minnie B. led the balance
there being a length of daylight between her and the ruck.
In the upper turn Conrad and Anarchist made play for a
few moments, but their chances had been lessened by the
numerous false starts. When the head of the stretch was
reached, it could easily be seen that Monahan had Fairy well
in hand, Narvaez plying the whip on Homer, and although he
made a gallant fight for supremacy. Fairy won handily by a
length in the really good time of 49 seconds. Minnie B. and
Conrad made excellent time in the straight, and both of them
will bear watching, for they are liable to torn up winners at

Selling races gives the poorer class of horses a chance to
show their running qualities, and it seemed on the opening
day as though every owner for miles around wanted to dem-
onstrate the ability of his racing steed. Fifteen BtarterB
sported silk, and Henry Walsh had the sympathies of the au-
dience as he took his place to send off the field. They were
an unruly lot, and the jockeys were likewise unmanageable-
so after numerous attempts to get them awav in something
like decent shape, Mr. Welch cautioned them that he would
start them without fuither parley, and true to his word the
flag was seen to fall to a very uneven start, Ida Glenn and
Applause being fitst away in full flight before the others had
caught their stride. The start absolutely left the fight be-
tween the two leaders for the nest nearest horse was fully
fifteen lengths behind when the half mile pole whs reached.
At this point Ida Glenn was a head to the good with Ap-
plause banging on like grim death. As the three-quarter
pole waB being neared by the two leaders, Kildare was
brought out from the stragglers, and made a desperate finish,
Pierce working the eon of Kyrle Daly for all there was in
him, but without beneficial results as the others were too far
in the van.

When the decision was given the judges announced a dead
heat, between Ida Glenn and Applause, but from the repor-
ters stand, it was clearly Ida Glenn's race bv a head. After
consultation between the owners of the two horses, it was
decided to run it off, so after the last event on the card, the
two were again started, Narvaez piloting Applause to a cred-
itable victory, in the fast time of 1:1% the first time this
year that 1:14 has been beaten. Kildare was in rare condit-
ion to run and it was evident that if he had got an equal
start with the others that he would have had a good chance
for first money. Too much praise cannot be given the train-
ers of the other pair, for the outcome showed plainly that
they were fit to race for a man's life.

A purse of §350, was the next event on the programme,
and was the means of bringing ont half a score of starters,
many of whom were old performers, Sir Reginald, belonging
to n" S. Hamlin, being the only one that was a newcomer to
a San Francisco audience. Owing to his many victories in
the past, Longshot was a alight favorite, followed cloBely for
choice by Mr. Wbitmore's Coloma. For such a large field
an excellent start was effected, Kiro and Carmen cutting out
the pace, with Fanny F well up, the balance being bunched
two lengths in the rear. The same order was maintained to
the upper tnm where Fanny F fell back beaten, Captain Al
taking her place and makiog play for the leaders, but although
he kept up his speed, he could not win, Longshot coming with
a ruBh that soon settled all doubts, he passing under the
wire winner by a length, Captain Al second and Coloma third.
Kiro and Carmen having fallen back, in the ran down the
home stretch.

Tbe fifth and last race on the card was the annual renewal
of the Tidal Stakes for three-year olda, which is usually at-
tended with much interest as it giveB the public a line on the
Derby candidates, bat the Bmalloess of the field robbed the
contest of much of its attractiveness, Mr. Kose being the
only one tbat would venture a (Igo" against the two cracks
from the Palo Alto Stable. Mr. Bocts had no trouble in get-
ting them away at the first time of asking. Tbe race requires
no description, for after passing the stand Flambeau took
the lead by a length and kept it to tbe wire, Eacine simplv
acting as an attendant, the big colt not being pushed to make
the mi!e and a quarter better than 2:09 Rover was whipped
all the way down the stretch, but could not get within half
a dozen lengths of the second horse.

SECOND DAY.

The second day of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Meeting
was all that could be desired, with the exceptfon that the
wind was a little too high for extreme speed. The crowd was
large, almost equaling that of the openiog day, and it was a
pity that the starting was of such a nature as to cause great
dissatisfaction, not that it changed the resolt of the races, but
that it prevented close contests except in one instance. The
bookmakers were kept busy, and the auction pools were
largely patronized, the betting being a great deal heavier than
it was on Saturday.

For the first race the talent seemed to have selected Al Far-
row as the sure winner, but there was quite a tip out on Al-
mont, the Three Cheers colt having Bhowed up very well in
his work at San Jose and also here. Daisy D. was exceed-
ingly well backed, but she disappointed her supporters, al-
though she did get second place.

When the last bugle call was sounded nine horses faced
the starter. Al Farrow's superb condition gave his backers a
fancied security which was not borne out by his running in
the race. Daisy D. also looked extremely well, as did Al-
mont and Gertrude; King Hooker was very nervous and fidge-
ty, as was also Eettie B , and it was owing to the bad con-
duct of the two latter that the start was delayed fully thirty
minutes. When the flag fell Mr. Walsh started them with
Eettie B. two lengths to the good, with Coloma and the Three
Cheers representative in second place, Daisy D. was a good
fourth with Al Farrow and the balance in the ruck. Eettie
B. cut out tbe pace going around the turn with a good ad-
vantage, Coloma falling a little behind and Almont takirjg
second place. At the quarter the Undine Stable representa-
tive was still a length ahead with Almont second, Daisy D.
a length and a balf behind him and Coloma at the mare'B
flank. Al Farrow was not runniDg up to his usual form, the
heavy weight which the handicaps er had given him making
him show up very poorly. Going down the backstietch there
wa< no change of positions except lhat Daisy D. was grad-
ually crawliDg np ou Almont aud when they were fairly into
the turn Eettie B., Almont and Daisy D. were all bead aDd
head; as they straightened into the Blretch Eettie B. fell
back beaten, leaving tbe fight between Almont and Daisy D.
It was here noticed tbat Spooner, tbe jockey on Al Far-
row was doing all be possibly could in the way of persistent
nrBi°g> ont the big horse could not respond and at the draw-
gate the right lay between Almont and Daisy D. Tbe mare
was Beverely punished, but she could not get any better than
Almont's flank, he winning in the exceedingly good time
of 1:41 l. Tbe following is the

The second race was a free handicap nweepitnke for two
year olds, the Association adding $300, the distance five fur-

longs. Eight names had been placed on tbe programme to
start, but Einfax, the Palo Alto colt, was scratched, leaviog
seven of the youngsters to contest for supremacy. Homer
was represented on the card as belongina to the Dndine Sta-
bles, a new name to the race goers of this coast, and it might
not be out of place to state that tbe owners thereof are Ira
Eamsdell and Thos. a. Williams and fancying tbat they
had a good thing, although their hors s carried tbe top
weight of 115 lbs., almost $5000 was placed with tbe book
makers on Homer's chances; as Homer is trained in the sta-
ble of Henry Walsh for the present, he did not act as starter
in this race, the unthankful position falling to tbe lot of
Charles T. Boots. Unfortunately for those who bad money
on the other horsep, Charlie dropped the flag with Homer a
good three lengths in advance and at bi^ full stride, while
the others straggled along behind, wholly unprepared for the
signal. The mart finished the race. Homer was never head-
ed, winning as he pleased by fully six lengths, with Parapet
second and Joe Woolman third. Narvaez, on Homer, took
no chances whatever, and carried the colt at his highest rate
of speed, landing the owners of the colt many thousand dol-
lars winner. As was only natural, a great deal of grumbling
was expressed at the miserable start, but all f*lt assured that
the best norse had won, the time, 1:01$, at tbis season of
the vear and with the weights carried proving to all conclu
sively that Homer was the best horse in the laee. The fol-
lowing is the

Owing to the magnificent run made by Kildare in the sel-
ling race of Saturday last, the talent to a man selected him
as the winner, and from the weights up it looked almost "a
moral." Tom Dily was scratched, leaving eight starters, of
which Applause was a good Becond choice, but again the
knowing ones were doomed to disappointment, and Phil Sie
benthaler's chestnut colt Sheridan was the first to catch the
judges' eye, notwithstanding the fact that there were many
who contended that Kildare had made a dead heat with him.
After the race there were any quantity of claims of foul, but
tbe judges listened to the bickerings of the j^ckejs, and the
result as above stated was finally given in favor of Sheridan

When the flag fell, Dave Douglas had a Blight advantage,
with Kildare close on hiB fUnk, and as they swung into the
lower turn, Douglas was Btill leading, Kildare and Applause
fighting for second place, with Sheridan sticking to them like
a plaster. Fanny F., Wild Oats, Nerva and Jack Brady
strung out As they swept down the back stretch, Kildare
closed up with Dave Douglas, and Applause and Wild Oats
close at hand. On the turn Dave Douglas, Rildare and
Applause were almost together, with Sheridan trailing fully
two or three lengths behind them. When they settled into
tbe homestretch, Williams began his run on Sneridan, and
right royally did he run for first honors, so much so, in fact,
that as they passed under the wire, it wsb impossible to ttll
in whose favor would be the verdict, as it Beemel to almost
all spectators that the heat was a dead one. Applause seem-
ingly was let up with on the straight, and did not run nearly
as well as he did on Saturday, when he beat Ida Glenn
After consultation the judges decided Sheridan the winner,
tbe following being the

The Pacific Derby is supposed to be one of tbe most excit-
ing and determined races of the spring meeting, but owing to
the extreme high form shown by Flambeau, the race lost
much of its interest as it seemed to be generally conceded
that nothing could beat the ohestuut colt, his running of last
Saturday stamping him as being one of the speediest horses
in the State. Henry \Val3h gave the boys instructions as to
how he wanted tbe race run, and they obeyed his orders to
the letter.

There are many who to-day consider that Eacine could
have beaten Flambeau on Tuesday, but those who talk and
think tbat way could have paid but little attention to the
easy manner in which Flambeau came under the wire, for
while he was only at a common canter Racine was at the top
of his speed, and the hoy necessarily had to pull him to pre-
vent him from beating Flambeau at the wire. Mr. Walsh
had determined to win with Flambeau, and consequently ac-
cording to all racing rules, he was justified in instructing his
jockies exactly as he did.

Five horses started in this race, and when the flag fell Lord
of the Harem set out to make the run with Eacine second,
Sacramento third, Flambeau forth and Mohawk last. The
first balf mile was run in this order, all going in a very easy
manner, but on the lower turn the Hearst Stable's colors
were seen in front, and it was at tbis point that the Palo Alto
colts were turned loose; going up the backstrelch tbey found
little or no trouble in getting on even teims with the 1-ader,
but it was Bimply a question of sufferance in allowing Sacra-
mento an even position with them, as thoy could have run
away from him at any time had the jookeys so desired.
When they came into the homestretch Racine waB leading by
a half length, but Harris pulled him back, allowing Flambeau
to take the lead, which the colt did very easily, and from
this to the wire it was only a romp.

Our Southern California Letter.

The Santa Anita string selecied to uphold the prestige ct
the famous breeding farm founded by Lucky Baldwin, left
Monday night on the overland, bound for Brooklyn. The
entire stable started out in fine form. Los Angeles never
looked better, and should be able to run the race of her life
during the approaching season. The Glenelg mare will car-
ry the Maltese cross culors io tbe Brooklyn Handicap and
given a muddy track, it is not five to one that Bhe will not
capture the clas&ic event. It is rumored tbat Clio is the sta-
ble reliance for tbe American Derby. Everybody connected
with the Santa Anita establishment is very close mouthed,
but I labor under the impression that there is very Utile oif.
ferenee between any of the thr e year olds and tbat the
racing season will be far advanced before it is determined
which is the beBt one. The two year olds are a racy lookiDg
lot. I fancy E-peranza tbe most. She looks speedy and 11
appearances are not deceptive, the daughter of Grinstead and
Hermcsa should make a rtcord for herself.

The string which Bob Campbell took E ipt is as follows:

Los Angeles' 5— Glenelg— La Polka.

Gannymede. 4— Grinstead — Jennie B.

Clio, 3 — Griustead— Glenita.

Amigo, 3 — Prmce Charley.

Santiago, 3— Grinstead— Clara D.

Silverado, 2 — Eutherford — Josie C.

Eosenada, 2— Rutherford— Anita.

It is also intended to send a s- cind string Ean sometime
in June. Emperor of N r'olk will be induded in the second
consignment. Vulante the hero of the stcoud Americau
Derby ever run, was al->o taken E 1st to be turned over to his
new owner. In discussing the Santa Anita three year olds
I forgot to say a good word for Honduras. He is a slashing
looking colt and hi-j Eqniiy win at Saratoga should not be
overlooked. He pucked 118 pounds and finished the \ mile
in 1:15}, which is more than an ordinary performance over
the Snatoga track.

E. B. Gifford was a visitor in Los AngeleB during the past
week. "We are to have a bang up meeting at San Dieg-i in
July," said the owner of Atto Bex, "and we are going to bang
up some big purses. Mr Babcock, of Ho'tl Coronado fame,
is spiring no expense in making the track at Coronado pec'
ond to none in the State."

"Will Atto Eex make the circuit this year?" broke in tbe
Breeder and Sportsman representative

That is a matter of doubt, bnt I have still hopes that

at the Blood Horse meeting, although they won a race with
Al Farrow and another with Longshot. Al Farrow was not
backed much by them, while all bucked Coloma and when he
eould not win Longshot in the same stable had to.

The succesB of a training stable does not altogether depend
upon the skill, knowledge, etc., of the managing chief, but
very materially upon detail, the faithfolness of subordinates,
and their good judgment relative to the care, kindness, and
the proper handling of the horses under their charge.

Tbe Minnesota Driving Club will give a four days' racing
meeting from July 1st to 4th. The amount hung up for

Question.

John G. Kreyer has Bold to Charles Boyle the five-year-old
bay horse Longitude, by Longfellow, dam Indemnity. The
horse will likely be sent to Canada for use as a stallion. As
he was a fair racer, he might sport silk the other side of the
border, and show his heels to many of the horses there before
he is retired.

One of the principal features of Morris Park, when all the
plans have been completed, will be the clnb house. This
building will be of brick and wood, 120 feet long and 120 feet
deep, with a tower 30 feet squaie and 130 feet high, which
dimensions, however, give an inadequate idea of what the
building will be.

It will hardly be credited what some of our big bookmakers
lose over bad debts, BayB the London Sunday Times. One
of the leviathans (old me recently that his losses under this
head during the last ten years, have amoanted to over
£150,000, but he cannot afford to press for the money for
fear of losing custom.

J. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, has purchased from George
H. Hicks the two year old filly Eusenole.by Electioneer, dam
Rebecca (dam of Eexford 2:24), by Gen. Benton; second
dam Clarabel (dam of Clifton Belle 2:24£), by Abdallah Star.
This is the filly that Mr. Hicks bought at the recent New
York sale for $1575, and declined an advance of $1000.

The track at the Bay District was this year in good Bhape
for the horseB to work on when they arrived, having been cut
up and worked into good order, and great credit is due the
Superintendent, J. F. Edgar, who was out early and late
displaying an extraordinary amount of activity and vim,
which was appreciated by every one who had horses to work
or race on the track.

William Day, the veteran trainer who handled Foxhall
in England, is about fifty years behind in some of his
views. He would do away with ready-money betting, but it
woold in my opinion prevent heavy gambling if all our
plungers were compelled to put up the stakes as they crake
their bets. Speculating on the nod is the cause of there
being so many "'brokers."

Among the many visitors to San Francisco for the Blood
Horse raceB, there was no one more enthusiastic and better
posted than R. B. Terry the brilliant Fresno lawyer. His
knowledge of racing pedigrees and racing itself is aslouDding
when one considers that he is so tied to his profession that
he has very little leisnre to devote to the sport of Kings. T'is
ever true breeding will tell.'

The 'Racing Calender" of March 27th states that a meet-
ing of the Jockey Club will be held at Newmaiket on Wed-
nesday in the Craven meeting, when the following motion
will b*> moved by Lord Durham: — "That in future a short-
hand writer be present at all meetings of the Jockey Club,
and that a full report of the proceedings be published in the
next available "Racing Calender."

The farmers for miles around are complaining about
Smith's bell at Guttenberg, which rings when the horses
start. The farmers declare their hands are eating them out
of houBe and home, as every time ihey hear the bell they
think, for an instant, it is the dinner gong, and with their
minds running so continually on food, they return with the
appetite of a horse, and eat gigautic Boppers.

Mr. Eupsell Mnnning, M. D.,V S., Raid in 1881: "The
day is passed for bleeding and purging for everv ill that eveD
horseflesh is heir to." Dr. Dixon says: "Nature is ever
busy by the silent operation of her forceB in caring disease.
Her medicines are air, warmth, food, water and sleep. Their
use is directed by instiDct, and that man is most worthy tbe
name of physician who most reveres her example."

The Tidal Stakes, 1} miles, brought out the Palo Alto
craoks io grand style. Tbe general opinion after the race
was that at 1 ■; miles ih-re was very little to choose between
the colts. Had Flambeau's saddle not slipped the race would
have been run much faster. Luckily the horse had a mar-
tingale on which helped to keep the saddle in position, or
poasiblv the nluncer would have lost bis S 1000 on Flambeau .

The Hearst stable has shown up in good form this sprinj
with Del Mar a winner at San Jose and Almont at the Blooc
Horse. The handsome son of Three Cbeers ran a grand mil
on Tuesday, and had it not been for hiB severe illness a
Fort Worth, would have been fit for any company.

Sam Caton, who wintered in Los Angeles, has left for Ne1
York State with sixteen head, inoluding three purchased i
California this winter, viz., Cousin Jo, pacer, by Del So
bay mare, sister to Contractor, by Sultan; and a two year ol
filly by Stamboul out of Soncie Lass. Mr. Caton was hi^
pleased with the California climate and facilities for winl
ing, and leaves many new friends behind him.

here is on the Memphis track a very remarkable horse
tt property of W. L. Cassidy of St. Lonis. Blue Blpzes is
b'dlazes, out of Emma Howison, a three-year old raised by
H?. Shafer of Gallatin, and is a trim, dark grey, a little
4r fifteen hands high, with good, clean limbs, ample depth
Jbest, good driving power and a fine head. The prevail-
indark grey is irregularly sDlashed with lighter marks In
Weft ear of the horse is a well defined protuberance winch
«iot better be described than as a perfect claw of some
« of prey. In fact it is nearer like the claw of a hawk
h any other bird. The claw, or semi-horny substance,
p-s from the membrane of the horse's ear to the lenoth of
t inches. °

tlemen, too— who on last saddling-bell day by the side of the
tc, were still members of the dangerous classes; and the on-
ly people who seem to object to the assumption of gentilily
and fame on their part are those who had only a year or so's
start of the new-comers on the same road frim the »ial and
the padding ken to the delights and privileges of noble
sportsmanship. Change begets change, and reform comes fast
and thick when once it has started— shall we vet live to see
the gentlemen who picked my pocket at the Lincoln of '88
and the other gentleman whom I saw being kicked and
punched as a welsher in 89. members of the renovated and
enlarged Jockey Club that we are promised, if not in '90 in

The Eeferee (London, Eng.) says:— In case I am right in
thinking that I have not Eeen any where among our English
sporting papers announcements of Mr. James White's
plan of attack on onr Derby, I may mention that a good
friend of mine in Melbourne has been kind enough to write
telling me that Mr. White haB arranged to tackle ns for three
years straight away. No matter whether Narellan and Kirk-
ham have good or bad luck the Australian sportsman will
hope to be represented at Epsom and for other rich three-
year old prizes up to 1892. The news is welcome if only be-
cause it removes the impression that the keen eyed veteran
intends to cut horseracing altogether, as might be inferred
from his disposing of his stud at home — I mean to say, in
the colonies. Last year I committed myself to the opinion
that if the Antipodeans will seed their "best goods here we
simply cannot handicap them out of middle and long distance
races — provided, that in, we treat them at all reasonably.
Their gees are taught and trained to run over long courses
from end to end. Of course, it is a matter of murdering each
other, but they do stay long at the game. In a way, I hope
that the bold spirits who are sending thoroughbreds to the
old country will not be disappointed. I should be in a warm
corner if the handicap horses intended for the 1890 campaign
disappointed their proprietors, because I am informed that
the speculation is clue to remarks made on the subject in
these sporting notions last summer. No doubt my interview
with the gentlemen concerned, of whose advent I am fore-
warned by mutual friends in Melbourne, will be pleasant
enough. What sort of a time shall we have together next
back end if the experiment, not too put too fine a point on it,
comes off crabs ?

many of tbem are qualities that the eye of the best judge
could never estimate with the certainty with which they a?e
proved on the race course. Men could judge something of
the bones, sinews, muscles and form of the horse, and in so
doing often expected to select with certainty the best but
experience proved that they could not do so. The brain
the nerves, the heart and the lungs were always out of sight'
and the best judges were always at fault. The Godolphin
Arabian was conaemned to a shop keeper's cart and not used
as a sire until ten years old, when Lath, his then only son out
of a good mare, proved on the race course that his father had
latent qualities which fitted him, as they had destined him
to be, the progenitor of the most successful animals that have
eince figured in the British Stud Book. Eclipse was never
trained until five years old, and qualities which enabled him
to enrich more than one owner, and to distance all competi-
tors, were only discovered by trial and competition.

A special from Memphis says: While there are a dozen
horses here right now capable of doing a mile in 1 :42 or even
better, the fasttst work done yet was a mile in 1:46, accom-
plished by Santalene and Robespierre, both of the Chicago
Stables. In this connection it is well enough to mention
that all the horses belonging to this great organization are in
the best of fettle. Trainer Kiley seems to have found out
the humor of each horse and his likes and dislikes, and as a
result they all bear the appearance of being ready to go to the
string when the bugle calls. Little Minch and Terra Cotta
are still both high in flesh, but the former, especially runs
better when m this condition. Jacobin pulls ud lame after
every strong gallop, but it is thought this will not keep him
from winning several good races this year. The work done
by Robespierre makes that horse loom up as a dangerous
quantity in the Derby, while as to Huntress and Santalene
they look and act more as if they ooold run one, two in any
race m which they go to the post. From every standpoint
it looks as though this stable this year will make even a bet-
ter showing than in 18S8, when, under the skillful handling
of John Campbell, it was a terror to other stables all down
the line. Coming on the track as if he had seen turf battles
and participated in them for several years, with the tread of
a king, came Riley, Corrigan's crack colt, the favorite in all
quarters for the Kentucky Derby. Several trainers were at
once asked how he was doing, and all with one accord pro-
fessed utter ignorance, save to say that he had grown, spread
out and improved in every way, which any observer who
knew him last year could readily tell. He resembles the type
of a Longfellow, being very much on the order of Linden and
Freeland, although he moves with the daisy-cutting stride of
Thora and The Bard.

The Nashville American tells a very pretty tale of seeing
double in the judges' stand: —

"Were you ever at Swampsboro, Arkansas?" asked a drum-
mer at the Duncan yesterday, as he joined a group of fellow
travellers. None of the crowd had teen there.

"I'm just from there," continued the speaker, as he passed
the cigars and took a seat in the circle," "and while there I
went to MoFquito Park, the new race course. There was a
good deal of excitement and much betting, the contesting
horses being an aged claybank and an old flea-bitten gray-
only two entries. The regular judges were part owners of
the horses entered, and it was deemed prudent to call in an
unbiased and disinterested party to judge the races. So Col.
Bloud of Bear Ridge was requested to accept that important
office. With the assistance of several members of the asso-
ciation the Colonel aod his jug mounted the stand. After
several false starts the flyers got off fairly well, and the race
was closely contested as far as the home stretch, but at that
point the gray horse, in passing through a swamp that had
not been properly drained, mired op to his knees in mud.
The claybank was a little more fortunate, being on the inside
track) where she struck firmer dirt, and won easily, coming
in at the finish probably 300 yards ahead.

"The claybank's backers were, of course, wild with de-
light, and they picked him up bodily and carried him aronnd
on their shoulders. Their joy was only momentary, how-
eyer, for Col. Blood, standing up on a soap box and flourish-
ing a pair of silver mounted derringers said: —

" 'Gentlemen of the Swampsborough Blood Horse Associa-
tion and fellow countrymen, all bets on the race what hev
just been run air declared off.'

"Now was the time for the old gray's backers to yell, and
you bet they never lost the opportunity. For fully ten
mionteB the shoutH were deafening. In the meantimethree
men died unnatural deaths and two others were disabled for
life.

"I don't mind getting my chitlings cut out,' said a wound-
ed man who leaned against the judges' stand and held his
hat over his abdomen; 'an' I ken manage to git along with
only one eye. but Colonel, I'm a son of a woW if I ken see
how in tbe nation you can declar' the bets off when the gray
wuz beat 300 yard-!'

•' 'Gentlemen. " roared the Colonel, as he finished reload-
ing his derringer aod took another pull at the jug, 'gentle-
men, my decision war prompted by the rules and regulations
of all first class race tracks, aod that high Bense of bonah
characteristic of a Kentucky bred gentleman. Sirs, I am not
ignorant of the fact that the grays were left 300 yards behind
io yonder neighboring swamp, but my decision wuz based on
the fact that tbem two yellers rnn a dead heat, an' I am here
to defend mv judgment an' mv honah.' "

THE FARM.

A Colony of Bee3.

A colony of bees, in a normal condition, consist* of about
80 000 workers, or female bees, several thousand drones and
a queen. The queen is the mother of the entire colony, and
Uvea from two to four vears, gener*lly being at her best dur-
ing the second season, although some very good queens, bred
from prolific mothers, continue to render good service until
they are four years old, when they become unprolific, and if
not then substituted by the aspirant will be superseded by
the bees. A queen is easilv distinguished from the worker
bees by being longer, yellower and majestic in her carnage.
Her wings are bhort. being only about two-thirds the length
of her body, her abdomen tapering to a point Every apia-
rist should become familiar with the appearance of the queen
in order that she may be distinguished at a glance when ex-
amining the frames. The qu*enis of paramount importance,
as everything depends upon her: hence thebee-keeper should
know all about her, and always keep her safety in mind. She
leaves the hide only once, except when a swarm issueB, and
then to ba fecundated by the drone. She goes out to meet
the drone when she is five days old, and in about hve days
thereafter she commences to lay, the eggs producing perfect
bees in twenty-one days. The rule is thus applied to the
product of the queen, viz; Three and a half days in the egg,
three and a half days in the worm, and fourteen days sealed
over. The apiarist should commit this to memory, as he will
often have occasion to apply it all through his experience.

The queen lays from 2500 to 3000 eggs daily, beginning in
early Spring and continuing at thiB rate until Fall, and then
she ceases for the Winter- The ovaries of the queen occupy
a large portion of her body, in consequence of which she
should never be handled except by the wings, and never
touched at all if it can be avoided. Many bee keepers do not
handle her at all, bo t cage her by placing a cage over her
and letting her run into it, and clipping her wings while
she is travelling over the combs. It is said that the ovaries
of the qneen contain not less than 20,000,000 seminal fila-
ments, to exhaust whioh would require twenty yearB, provid-
ed she laid 2000 eggs every day in the year. A fertile or fe-
cundated queen lays drone or worker eggs at will, while an
unfertile queen can deposit only drone eggs. The drones
hatch in twenty-four days, and a perfect queen in sixteen
days from the time the egg was laid. It is also worthy of
mention here that the same egg that would have produced a
worker does by different treatment by the beeB produce a
queen. If an egg is selected to produce a queen, the bees
build a large wax cell over it, feed the egg with "royal pab-
ulum," and in sixteen days from the egg the queen emerges.
Until the beeB are fourteen days old they are workers inBide
the hive; after that they become field foragers.

"Wax is produced by the bees eating honey, and then hang-
ing in olnsters in the hives as lazily as possible. The wax
appears on their backs. Other bees take it off and manipu-
late it into combs. Pollen or bee bread is the dust collected
f rjm flowers, which the bees roll into honey and then pack
away, with which to feed their young. Propolis or bee glue
is also oollected by the bees from resinous plants and trees.
They also bring and deposit water in the combs. The pro-
polis is used to fasten combs, eic.

To further classify the inhabitants of a hive, it may be ad-
ded that the workers do all the labor, the queens lay all the
eggs, and the drones are tit only for one purpose (one of
them only), to fecundate' a newly hatched queen. When a
queen once meets a drone, she becomes fertile for life. She
begins to lay in five days thereafter, and never ceases daring
life, except as herein stated.

To become successful, every person who undertakes bee
cuUure should carefully study all these things, and become
familiar with all that pertains to these industrious creatures.

How to Raise Turkeys

Turkeys are considered by many farmers very delicate and
hard to raise, and for this reason they are not found on many
farms. If farmers understood their nature better, turkeyB
would soon become more common. Every poultry manor
farmer that has ten acres of land or more can easily raise tur-
keys to advantage, and if the conditions are favorable they are
one of the most profitable kinds of poultry to raise. Get a pure
breed, either for market or home use. Such are cheaper in
the long ran, and do not let size be the only qualification, a
flock of good medium sized, square bodied, well matured
birds at Thanksgiving time, is what you want. Two plump,
ten-pound turkeys will bring more money at that time than
one lean, lank fellow that weighs twenty pounds. I do not
strive to get great size in my breeders, either male or female.
We do this for the reason that the eggs of the largest hens
are not as a rule as large as thoBe from fair to good sized birdB
and it is pretty generally conceded that for active vitality and
sure breeding the male muBt not be too large.

It is mostly a question of feed as relates to size and heavy
weights. I have taken the common turkey and made them
weigh twenty-poundB at two yeara. With pare breeds of tur-
keys a good weight can be made with ordinary care and a
small amonnt of feed. Here lies the superiority of the thor-
oughbred over the scrub. In pickingout hens do not let great
weight influence you. Good form, fine stout legs, square
bodies and breasts, are what is wanted. Mnch the Fame will
be proper with the male in buying. He should not be re-
luted to the females. One male is sufficient for one dozen
females, all things considered I have found the White Hol-
land turkey the most profitable for the farmer to raise, as
they are hardy, mature early, are docile in disposition, not
inclined to stray off and fall victims to hawks and skunks.
Like the wilder varieties in quality of flesh, they are par ex-
cellence as a table fowl and proliSc layers of good sized

eggs-
Desiring to raise as many as possible to the number of
hens kept for breeding purposes, I set the first laying of eggs
the turkey hens lay, under the chicken hena. When they
hatch I examine to see if they have auy vermin on them; if
so, I dnBt them with insect powder and keeped them cooped
olopely for three or four days, until they get used to the call
of the hen. If allowed to run out they are likely to stray af-
ter any hen that comes along. I feed often, and very spar-
IngJy the first week, with hard boiled eggs and corn bread
crumbs, mixed fr e and dampened with a little milk. After
the tirst week I give more bread crumbs, with a little barley
meal, onion tops, and lettuce chopped fine Milk should be
given them as a drink, as it keeps them in a healthy con-
dition. Corn meal dough should not be given them, a=> they
are liable to diarrhoea, aDd it increases the tendency. Their
food should be strictly fresh. Keep cooped in the morrjiug
until the dew is off the grass, until they are six weeks old, for
cold spring raios and dew are fatal to young turkeys. The
second laying of eggs I let the turkey hen sit on and raise the

brood. I do not pay much attention to them except to feed a
little each evening to get them accustomed to come up at
night, and keep them growing. They will piok up moat of
their living in their rambles. Productiveness depends on
the care. If you breed thoroughbreds, breed only from the
best, and if yuu succeed in raising good birds let it be known
by exhibiting and advertising. The owner of really good,
high-scoring stock usually getB for them all conscience will
allow him to ask.— J. Eflars in Ploughman and Farmer.

Capons.

There is probably no flesh more eagerly sought after than
the large, tender, rich capon. They are always pcarce in the
market, and command high prices, and it is impossible to
find one except in our largest city markets. Not one Ameri-
can in ten thousand ever tasted a piece of capon meat, and
the farmers who have raised fowls for years hardly know
what a capon is, when they might have been supplying their
own tables with them all their lives. What is the reason for
all this? Simply this. The common farmer and poultry
raiser has never given the en' ject any attention. Each one
could just as well have caponB in their poultry-bouses and
around their doors as so many tough, stroDg and bony cock-
erels, that when dressed only weigh four or five pounds.

A capon is a cockerel that has been castrated, that is all.
He may be of any breed in the wide world but if castrated
successfully, he becomes then a capon. Farmers castrate
their lambs, calves, colts, pigs, etc., but when it comeB to a
cockerel, the easiest of them ail to do, they draw the line?
Why? Because the fact has never struck them point blank
that it was desirable to do so, or that they could do it them-
selves. Well, let me say right now to one and all of yoa,
that you can perform the operation just as successfully as
you can dress a chicken, and furthermore, let me Bay that
you oan increase the weight of your cockerel very much more
in proportion than any animal you ever had castrated. In
many cases, if the right breed of fowls is used, you can double
their natural weight. Can this be done with auy other ani-
mal? But you not only do that, but you double his market
value per pound, and if you consume him yourself, you
greatly improve the quality of his flesh, as you will find when
yon sit down to a good roast capon. The operation can be
performed in four minutes, and the bird recovers from it in
three days, and commences at once to grow and lay on flesh.
All that "is required is a good set of instruments, which cost
but little now, and a box to lay the fowl on with two straps,
to hold his legs and wingp. In another article I will describe
how to make a cheap table to perform the operation on.
Cockerels may be caponized at any time of the year, and at
any weight, bat the best time is when the chicks weigh one
pound and one-half — Geo. Q. Dow, in Ploughman and
Farmer.

Annual Records and Net Profits.

I want to shake hands, figuratively, with F. C. Murphy
for his article in the Dairyman of February 21&t. As he says
there is too much claiming of "the earth," by breeders of,
not Holsteins alone, but some other varieties as well. Every
breed of cows has its peculiar adherents, but there is no need
of truth-stretching to give any breed popularity. If a breed
has worth, it will be recognised fully as quickly by the bet-
rer class of farmers and dairymen by sticking to the truth
That Holstein breeders have been eDlaiging on the merits of
that breed as mach as the average animal will bear, ia self
evident.

While private tests may be all right there is always an of-
fensive odor attached, and public tests keep folks honeBt.
At the New England fair of 18S7, in the public butter test
were 4 Holsteina giving from 45 to 53 lbs. milk, a Jersey with
a record of 30 lbs. private teBt, two or three Ayrshires and a
little old family cow, the only one the man had. The Hol-
steins made from 4 oz to 9 oz. of butter from one day's milk,
the little old cow tied the 30 lb. Jersey for first with 16 oz.
to her credit. At the New England fair for 1889, public but-
ter test for herds of five cows each, no alarming record was
made. Two herds of Holsteim with immense batter records
were recorded, but their owners after looking at the buttery-
looking Jerseys, Guernseys and grades decided to stay out.
Comparisons are odious. The manafactnrer is always on
the look-out and eagerly seizes upon any article or machine
which returns him a larger dividend for the money iuvected
than what he already has. So with the farmer and daiiy-
man, they want the cow that at the end of the year will re-
turn them the largest net earnings. Therefore all tests of an-
irnaU whether from Holsteins with a good sized balloon full
of laotial flaid attached, or from the smaller sized Jerseys
with their miniature cream pots, Bhould contain a full and
tabulated amount of grain fed, how many kinds, who mixed,
how much per diem from the cow, and how much said grain
cost and what the butter wa3 worth. Then can we, and per-
haps some other poor worshipperof honest butter recordsand
groper after an honest living, see which is best for our re-
spective farms. A 1,500 lb. cow devouring $5 worth of feed
to make $16 worth of butter or milk; or an S00 lb. cow tbat
takes $8 worth of feed to make $10 worth of butter.

The cow irrespective of breed which will at the end of,
not 7 days, but 362} days returns us the largeBt amoant net
in dollars and cents is the cow we are after. — Down Easter
in Hoard's Dairyman.

Jerseys, Querns-ys and Alderneys.

Jersey, Guernsey and Alderoey are the names of three
islands situated in the English Channel near the French
coast, and which, with a few smaller ones, form the group
known as the Channel islands. The cattle of these islands
are similar in most respects, and have been known by the
general appellation of Channel Islands cattle, although when
first introduced into this conntry they were all called Alder-
neys. They were all more or less distinguished for tbeir
dairy product. But while this in a common and general
characteristic of the cattle of the Channel Islands, those of
each of the islands named are kept distinct, and no crossing
is permitted; neither are live cattle from any other country
permitted to be brought into any of tbeBe iplands other than
for immediate slaughter for beef. The oattle of the Inland
of Jersey and those of Alderney reBemble eaoh other more
olosely, perhaps than those of Jersey and Guernsey, but the
points of difference between the cattle of all these islands are
so slight that they might with some propriety all be olassed
as a single breed. The Guernseys will average more than
the Jerseys, and the Jerseys will average larger than the
Alderneyp. There is no speoial distinction between the
cattle of these several islands in the matter of color. Fawn
cilor. squirrel grey, light aod dark brown, all, with or with-
out white markings, are very oommon. The Guernseys and
Alderneys perhaps have a larger proportion of the light fawn
and yellowish shades than the Jerseva,

Sheep and Cattle.

Can mutton be more oheaply produced than beef? A
bearing upon this subject Stewart calls attention to thefa<
that the sheep is a source of double income — meat and woo.
He refers, too, to the experiments of Sir J.B. Lawee, in refei
enee to the percentage of food utilized or stored up by diflei
ent animals, and these experiments presented the sheep in
very favorable light. Of the dry food consumed, he foun ■
that sheep stored up increased weight twelve per cent, whi:
cattle only laid up in increased weight eight per cent; that : '
eight and one-half pounds of dry food increased the liv
weight of cattle.

So that, relying upon these experiments, sheep must t|
considered as excellent utilizers of food, as producing ■
many pounds of mutton, besides the wool, from a given quaij
tity of food, as can be produced of beef; and as the best mn
ton briogs as high a price as the beef, it would appear onthi
basis, the sheep would give the fleece as extra profit ovii
cattle. If this" is not too favorable a view, the sheep on soi
able lands must be considered among the most profitable
favm stock. It is true the dairy cows brings her protitab
flow of milk to offset that of wool; bat the dairy cow do
not lay on flesh while producing milk, as does the Bhee
while produtiug wool. A fleece of five pounds of wool, grow
in a year, requires only a daily growth of one-fifth of i
ounce, which cin take but a small portion of food toprodac
The mineral matter taken from the soil by the fleece is on
1.6 ounces per year; and if six half-mutton sheep represent
cow, the whole mineral constituents taken by the six fleeo
would only be 9 6 ounces, and about 1.9 pounds of nitroge
whilst ttie ordinary cow, yielding4 000 ponndsof milk, woo
take twenty-six pounds of mineral matter or ash, and twenl
five of nitrogen, or forty-three times as much mioeral matt'
and thirteen times as much nitrogen as the fleeces of the shee

Sheep Breedirjfif.

The most difficult stock to breed is the sheep. There i
many things to be taken into consideration in baying shei
About the first thing a purchaser will look at is the size
the sheep, and the next is the length of the worl it hai
its back; and to the average man that is about ell that c<|
stitntes a sheep. Bnt is that all? Now what does it take'
constitute a typical sheep? First, it takes size. What;
size? Is it a sheep that is stnok up in the air on a pair
lega two feet long? No, it is a sheep that has short legs a
a heavy body of good length and properly shaped; is sqn'
on the shoulders, with a round rib, good, straight back, ?l
rounded hams, heavy brisket, two or three rolls around
neck. The next point is the constitution. You don't i
to breed to a ram that is like two slabs liid together w
pins driven in for l«-gs. How will we tell when a sheep
a good constitution? He will stand with his head erect,
tucked down; and a sheep with a good constitution
keep in good condition under favorable circumstarji
What else should a typical Bhetp possess? Wool coveri
Does this mean wool three to five ioches long on the b
and none on the legs and belly? "Nay, verily;" the mc'l
sheep has a good length of wool on the back and sides, 1 1
the most important of all is to have good length on the b>;t
and legs. Don't buy a ram uoleps he has a good leDgtl
wool on his belly and legs — wool down to the hoof, hit
about the head? It must be well wooled down the face •
low the eyes and up the throat well along the chops. '
wool should be white with dark points, throwing out pie f
of oil. Some may say that a greasy sheep is not fit to on1,
as it cannot stand the cold. There is a d fference betweet i
oily sheep and a gummy one. A sheep tbat has yellow 1 1
in his wool can't stand anything, bat a sheep that haa w ■
oil will come through all right and will be fat and nic

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports aod Other Pastimes.

EDITED PT ARPtllPPUS,

The athletic season is now fairly opened aDd the athletes
both old aod young, fat and thin are working hard trying to
prepare themselves for the great battles which will be decid-
ed within the next sis weeks. The fine cinder path at the
new grounds of the Olympic Club is attracting an unusually
large number of runners and walkers, and some "dark
horses" may soon make their appearance.

BU>~NERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC

We predict a victory for yonng McDoDald in the novice
sprint for 0 C. members on May 30th.

Some of tho University Club athletes have not yet com-
menced training, and they should remember that ouly sis
weeks are now left them in which to prepare themselves for
battle with the cracks who represent clubs on this side of the
bay.

The Olympic Club's "Ladies' Night" programme has been

completed, and a good exhibition may be looked forward to.

On Tuesday evening, while engaged in a practice bout

wi'h Al. Lean at the Olympic Club rooms, Ungermann, the

' well known wrestler, was unfortunate enough to break one

of his fingers.

Apropose of Lean, we understand that he had some trou
Me with the bosses of the California Athletic Clnb. and the
re3oltwas that he handed in his resienation. It has been
very evident from the start that the Directors of the New
Montgomery street Club were never very fond of their ama-
teurs, otherwise they would not have acted as they did to
wards some of the yonng athletes whom from time to time
they have disgusted away from their ranks.

A. Cook, the English walker, is in strict training, and it is
reported that he recently made a mile under 7:30 with only
two days* training.

The ^ld proverb, "A dying man will clutch at a straw," is
very applicable to the case of M. C. Giry, the ex-Presileot of
the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club. We have before us a high
pile of communications which refer to Giry's conduct in con-
nection with the club mentioned, but as we do not wish to
tnrn our columns into a literary battle field, we ninpt refnae
to publish them. In substance, however, the comp>amts
state that Giry was ore of the chief organizers of the Alpire
Club. After the club bad been running a couple of mon'hs
Giry proposed certain thines to which the balance of the Di-
rectors would not agree, and the consequence was that he,
seeing that he was not the rnling power of the organization,
began to circulate false stories, which he intended should un-
dermine the good standing of the club and »oppleit over. His
stories, however, were not sufficiently s'eeled with argument
to have any effect and the battering r*ms which he nsed
against the stroogholl of the club were suddenly turned on
himself. In short, he was politely requested to band in his
resienation as President of the cluh, which he very speedily
did. And now comes th» grand climax of his meanneps. He
' h"s announced his inten'ion of reorganizing the defunct Pa-
cific Athletic Club aod placing a team of athletes (?) nnderits
auspices in the field on Decoration Dav. Had Mr. Giry si-
lently retired after having resigned from the Alpine Clnb. his
previous conduct might have been forgotten in time, but now
that he shows fight his case Is a hopele s one It is safe to
presume that no ath'ete of sinnd ea'iber or entertaining any
respect for himself will snff-r himself to be goided or rnled
bv such a man as M. C. Giry. It is even qaestiona*Je if the
members of a club presided over by Giry would be permitted
, to compete in the ch'mpionshio games.

James McLaughlin has be^n expelled from the Alpine Club
for aiding M. C. Giry in removing property from the club
rooms.

J. Barr Bochanau, the amateur champion all-round ath-
lete of the world, left this city for Chicago on Thursday last.
The many friends which he left behind regret that he conl 1
not remain until after the championship meeting, for he
would ea-ily have broken some of the Pacific Coast records.
Before leaving Mr. Bochanan presented the following letter
to Mr. W. E. Holloway, the secretary of the'Olympic Club:
"W. E. Holloway, Esq ,

Hon. Secretary O. A C —
Dear Sir: As I am about to leave your city for Chicago, I
\. rannot help writing you th»se few lines expressing my sin-
cere thank* for the great kindness bestowed on me by your
dub during my seven months' residence in San Francisco.
Regarding your club in general, permit me to s*ate that I
have inspected the very finest gymnasiums and athletic clnhs
throughout the Australasian colonies, hot never have I come
across a club as handsomely and completely arranged, so
well instructed or composed of a more manly and gentle-
manly set of fellows than the Olympic Athletic Club of San
Francisco. In conclusion. I again express my thanks, and
hand the olub herewith a life-size phonograph of
Yours faithfully,

Thos. Barr Buchanan,
Champion Amateur Athlete of the World.
H. M- Johnson, the professional runner, every afternoon
and evening instructs the nmners of the 0. C in the art of
starting. Should Mr. Johnson decide to remain in San Fran-
cisco, he will probably be offered a permanent position by the
clob as trainer and athletic instructor.

The next meeting of the California Foot-racing Association
will take place at Central Park, corner Sth and Market
Streets, on Sunday, May 4th. There will be a large field of
competitors, and nearly all the leiding runners of America
■ will take part. It is also proposed to bold race-meetings by
electrio light in the evenings. In a month or so, when the
warm weather sets in, this should be a very profitable under-
taking.

The amatenr athletes should bear in mind that the entry
list of the Alpine Cluh games will close at the club rooms,
706 Powell Street, on Saturday evening next at 10 o'clock.
The open events are, 1—100 yard9 handicap run. 2—440
yards handicap rnn. 3- -Smiles run, handicip. 4— 3 mile
walk, handicap. Valuable prizes or medals will be given for
each event. The clnb will sp*re no expense to make this
their first open field dav a grand snce?s*. A fine brass band
of 12 pieces has been engaged to perform at the Bay District
track during the orog'e^s of the games. The Uoiversitv
Olympic and Garden City athletes should do all in their
power to help the hard-wording and well-meaning Alpine
boys ont by sending in their names to be entered for the
op°n events.

The Bay District track U in good condition for training
purposes, and every evening or>wd«of ambit'ous runners and
walkers may be witnessed exercising on it. Immediately
after the Blood Horse, racss, it will be out into good order Mr
the Alpine sports, which will come off on Sunday, May 4th.

An "athlete" forwards us his views as to the results of the
coming championship meeting which wiil take place at the
Olympic Club's new grounds on May 30. Here iB his spec-
ulation: 100 yards and 220 yards run Victor E. Schifferstein.

Before competing in picnic races Amateur Athletes should
read the rules of the P. C. A. A. A. on the point.

IN" THE SURF.

The season has already opened at Santa Cruz and at Camp
Capitola. The prospects of a busy season at both places are
very bright.

The swimmers are already beginning to desert the tank
baths for the open sea. The Terrace Baths at Alameda and
the Sheltered Cove Baths at the foot of Mason Street were
well patronized during the past week.

"Work has already begun on the new bathing establishment
about to be put op at fhe corner of Sntier and Stockton Sts.,
on the site of the old Vienna Gardens.

ON THE WHEEL.

The local wheelmen are getting into condition for coming
events. Every evening parties of bicycle men may be 6een
exercising in and around the Park.

The pastime appears to he gaining favor with the fair sex.
Quite a number of ladies take their daily spins through the
Park.

W. M. Meeheris still working on his road book and expects
to have it issued in conjunction with the consul's hand book,
which is to contain the names of all League hotels, Consuls,
etc.

The Bay City "Wheelmen are making great efforts to have a
track bnilt for the use of the wheelmen. The track will
probably be a half mile one and will bs located in a sheltered
valley in the Golden Gate Park, just north of the new
grounds of the Olympic Club.

Great performances are expected from some of the Oakland
Bicycle Club boys this season. Many of them are in good
condition at the present time.

It is also thought that the Alameda Scorchers wilt come to
the front once more before the year is over. Clift, Ireland
and other good men should not remain in oblivion.

AT THE OARS.

The Triton barge crew visited Sausalito on Sunday.

About twenty members of the Dolphin Clob took a trip in
the pleasure barge, Whieland, on Sunday- They went over
to Sausalito and witnessed the cross country run of the Al-
pine Club.

To-morrow the Alpine Amateur crew will contest with a
crew of the Lurlioe Clnb at their opening exercises Tbo
Alpine crew will consist of J J Larkey, stroke, A M King, 2,
H Tank, 1, H O Farrell, Row.

The Ariel Club will have several impromptu races in the
near fatnre between the members in order to pick oat their
regular amateur crew. There is an increased activity in
club affairs, and probably a little jealously may arise from the
selection.

J. Cochran takes regolar exercise since his debut in single
sculling.

The Lurline Clnb has made great preparations for its open-
ing tomorrow. Several races are on the tapis. Single scull-
ing, canoe and barge races together with a first class in-door
athletic exhibition will form the programme. Refreshments
will be served all day.

Harry Smith, the Captain of the Oikland Club, has begnn
training for the championship at the club regatta which will
be held on May 30tb, at the Estuary.

CLUB JOTTINGS,

There was no meeting of th* P C A A A last Friday eve.
Cause, want of a quorum. "We think if the meetings were
held every other week instead of weekly as at present the at-
tendance of delegates would be much larger. From now an
til after the championship it would be a good idea to fine
any delegate who was absent from two successive meetings.

The members of the Alpine Amateur Club held their sec.
ond cross country rao from Ross Villa, Sausulito, on Sunday-
About thirty-four athletes started. The run was to the Fog
Station at Lime Point and return, distance about 51 miles.
The distance out was made in about 16 minutes. After the
soin the boys were treated to a fine chicken lnncheon by
Mrs. Ross Jackson, who, by the way, has become very popu-
lar with the young athletes. The next run of the club will
be held about the second Sanday in May.

There will probably be an immense crowd of people at the
opening of the new Olympic grounds on Decoration Day.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

"We wonld suggest that one of the Eastern athletic clnhs
put up a purse for a finish fight between the athletic editors
of the New York Spirit of the Times and of the Turf, Field
and Farm. The two writers in question for many weeks
past have been engagiog in a wordy war at their readers'
expense, and it is high time a stop was put to their folly
Let them meet in private and Bettle the qnestion once and
for all, and thos save their readers from a lingering death.

Sidney Meyer, a m-mber of the Blackbeath Harriers of
England, has j >ined the Manhattan Athletic Club of New
York City. He will prove a valuable addition to the "cherry
diamond" list of athletes.

The joint athletic meeting of the Prospect Harriers and
Company F, Thirteenth Regiment, N. G. S. N Y-, wbioh
were held at the armorv of the regiment in Brooklyn. N. Y„
on Saturday evening. April Sth. were wfll attended, althongh
there was not sach a large turnout of the fair friends of the
militiamen as usual oo snch occasions, probably due to the
fs.ct that boxing competitions formed a considerable propor-
tion of the programme. The events were well contested,
and a couple of them furnished surprises in the defeat of
warm favorites. A summary follows:

Fiftv yards run— Final heat: W. P. Belknap. Lawrence-
ville. Pa", 9ft start, first, in 5 3 5s: H. Thompson, Robert-
son's Gymnasium. 10ft, second; E. Rasoover, New Jersey
Athletio Club, Sft, third.

Three hundred yards run — Final heat; S. B. Weirs. Mtn&
Athletic Club. 14yds start, first, in 35 3-5s; H. W. Beckle.
Pastime Athletic Clob, 14yds, second; G. S. Jackson, Acorn
Athletic Club, lSjda, third.

One thousand yards run— Final heat: Jame=< Reed, Ameri-
can Athletic Club. 2Svds start, first, in 2m 25 4-53; F C.
Ciark. B. R. and A A., 30yds, second; E. Hjertberg, New
Jersey Athletic Club, scratch, third.

One mile and a half walk— C. E. Nicoll, Prospect Harriers,
25e start, first, in 11m 45 l-5s;T. "W. Allen, National Athletio
Club, 55s, second; E. D. Lange, Manhattan A»h'etic Club,
penalized 10s, third, his actual time being 11m 50 4-5s.

One and a half mile rnn — W T. Yonng, Manhattan Ath-
letic Club, 50yds start, first in 7m 3 2-5s; Willie D, Day, New
Jersey Athletic Club, scratch, second, his time being 7m 6s;
M. E. Healey, Acorn Athletic Club, 165yd*. third. The men
ran a lap short, through error of the scorers.

A half milo foot handicap was recently rnn in heats at
Sheffield, Eog., and was participated in by a number of the
fastest professionals ever there. The final heat resulted as
f' Hows: A Perkins, London, 50 yards start, in one minute
57 3-5 seconds; J. Virtne, Newcastle, 45 yards, second, by a
foot; "W. Williams, Newcastle. 30 yards, third, by the same
distance; F. Smith, Worksop, 30 yards, fourth. The winner
fell in a dead faint at the finish, while both Virtne and "Wil-
liams had to be carried off the track showing what a pun-
ishing race it was. The purse was 8500.

At a meeting of the indoor championship committee of the
Amatenr Athletic Union, held in New York City rn the even-
ing df April 7th the entries of Malcolm W. Ford of the Brook-
lyn Heights A. C, and F. H Bailey ofjthe Sydenham Clnb of
Providence, R. I , for the Boston games on Saturday even-
ing were rejected.

The various teams of cross country runners in the East are
busy preparing for the annual race for the championship,
which this year is of more importance and interest than here-
tofore, for the reason that a junior contest is added to that
of former years. Full details oj the meeting were arranged
at a meeting of the games committee held on April 1st, at
which the following circular letter was adopted:

The Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Uuion
held a meeting at the Grand Union Hotel, New Ycrk City,
on Friday evening, April 4th, at which considerable business
was transacted. W. B. Curtis was appointed a committee
of one to make necessary alterations in the roles for lacrosse,
football, bicycling, lawn tennis and PwimmiDg. for the Union
Handbook, and J. E. Sullivan and F. Gerow were appointed
a committee to amend the roles for boxing, wrestling and

ROD.

Great Sport
Editor Breeder a>'d Sportsmax:— The article in your
issne of April 5th. concerning tarpon fishing in Florida
waters brines to my mind the magnificent 6shtng we have
had in Sao Diego Bay daring the pa^t ten years but which
now, I am afraid, is a thing of the past. Halibut trolling
from onr wharves was a year or two ago one of the most de-
lightful pastimes imaginable. Blessed with the finest climate
in the world, a magnificent sheet of perfectly calm, beautiful
clear sea water, fourteen miles long by two wide, filled with
an abundance of finnv denizen* from the two inch mmnow
to jew fish weighing 200 poonds. and plenty of time to allure
them in, who would not enjoy life in San Diego, where one
could hie himself to the wharves any day in the year armed
with the necessary la;kle, and rely on the assurance of re-
turning home with his creel well filled with finny beauties.
Pompano mackerel, smelt, rock cod, bass, croakers, sea
trout, halibut, flounder, perch, yellow fins nnd herring litter-
ally swarmed in the waters of our beautiful bay.

Daring the fishing season I have counted 67 set lines for
halibut alone on the P. 0. S. S. Co. 'a wharf io one afternoon,
besides at least a hundred persons engaged with rod and reel,
fishing for smelt, mackerel and pompano.

Daring the sea trout season (i. e.. summer months) one
could see dozens of these beautiful fish ranging from one foot
in length to three, being brought off the wharf from a day's
fishing.

Halibut weighing from two to fifty poonds have been
caught with lire bait by trolling along the wharf, and the
man who has ever struok one of the game fish with a light
rod and tackle that did not realize the fact that he had bit off
a very large Blice indeed don't exist.

During the spring of 1885 D. B. Hininan of this place,
Btrnck and successfully landed a halibut measuring 4S inches
in length and weighing 42 lbs., from off the steamship wharf,
using a 20 ounce Chubb rod and 55 feet of linen line Mr
Hinman fought his fish op and down the entire length of the
wharf several times (575 yards), and althoug several times
Mr. Halibut sneaked around a pile under the wharf, at the
expiration of about forty minutes from the time of the strike
Mr. Hinman had beached his fish aDd had him weighed.

The old gentleman has cast his line in fishing waters from
New York to the Pacific, but he has often said that that after-
noon's work was the best he ever done, and he never expects
to equal it again.

About the time the run of halibut ceases the king of them
all, the sea trout, shows ap. This is called sometimes the
blue fish, but I believe erroneously, as far as the blue fish of
the Eastern coast is concerned. Imagine yourself armed
with a light joint rod, uot heavier than 15 or 20 ounces, with
a good click reel holding about 100 feet of hard braided linen
line, at the end of which is a leader three or four feet long
attached to a Carlisle hook, which is inserted into a live
smelt, standing on the wharf in Sao Diego Bay with me to-
day, your minno— (no, I won't say minnow, bat I'll use the
old familiar word so dear to all fishermen — minny) playing
out in the water about thirty feet from you, just in sight
through the clear water — "What was that? Look out there!"
Bur-r-r-r-r goeB your reel. There, you've lost him. You
struck too C|uick, my boy. Keep ooul, he'll be back. Now
reel in your line, examine your minny. He's all right, still
alive, but you had better change bait and give that one a
chance to reBt. Pull up your bait can in which repose about
a dozen live bait, and gently drop that one in; now Becnre
that smallest one, that one about five inches long; careful
how you hook him; insert the point of the hook about two
inches from his head, a little to one Bide of the dorsal fin;
let the point of the hook come out towards the head; don't
get it in too deep. Now cast him uot gently; don't let him
strike the water too hard, yoo'll stan him. Never mind
your bait pail; I'll lower it again. Now look out. Ha the
tide has turned ; it.carries your bait under the wharf. Never
mind that; the piles are far apart; there's very little danger
of yonr losing yoar fish, if you do as I tell you. Lookout
there; let him have it, steady — steady, now, give it to him.
What did I tell yoa?

He'B a boater, ain't he? All right, reel him in; he'll go the
other way in a second. There he goes. Bur-r-r-r; how he
takes the line. Don't look bo white around the gills! he's all
right; but you have to cut him open to get yonr hook loose —
he had that hook clear in his maw before he felt it. All
right, bring him in. Mobob! what a beauty! that fellow will
go five pounds if an ounce. Now look out; where's your
gaff. Aha! there he goes down; never mind, old boy, he is
awfully tired; he'd never lay over on his Bide that way if he
wasn't. Now steady; yon can be cutting your hook loose in
two minutes more if you will just let me get the point of this

gaff right — in — nnder there you are! Now what do you

think of sea trout fishing? Just look at that fellow, will
you! Isn't he the perfect picture of a salmon if he had the
spots. Oh! I told you what you woald have to do. Now
open his mouth, ran yoar knife blade down; that's it. See!
he had that hook clean swallowed. There you are. Now
wait, get out yonr scales; that's right. What's that? 5i lbs. ?
good enough, my boy. Now put him in this basket, and I'll
cover him with a wet sack; don't hang him down in the
water. "Why?" Too many sharks and turtles around.
"Turtles?" Oh, yes! I've seen as many as five and six come
up at once off this wharf. Billy Littlefair canght one weigh-
ing nearly a hundred pounds here laBt summer while fishing
for shark, and landed him, too. "Edible?" Why of course!
same as they get on the lower coast and ship to 'Frisco. I've
heard that they come in here to lay their eggs, and that on
the bay Bide of Coronado Heights, the Chinese fishermen have
often found their eggs. It may be only rumor, but I do
know that during certain months, San Diego bay is fall of
turtles.

But this ain't fishing. Oh, you've got your line out? that's
right, never mind my talk. Aha! got him again! By the
Lord, Harrv, that's no trout! that fellow means bnsinese-
Look out there! now he's aroand that pile; nevermind, don't
give him an inch, unless he has yonr line fast in the oysters
on the pile he'll come out. Ah-ha! told you so. Now bring
him to the surface Ho-ho! I thought so; a Bea bass — a fioe
one, too. Now I've got him. We'll put bini right alongside
of your trout. No, Dot as long as the other, but will weigh
nearly as much. You see, he's a whole lot thicker, and got
much the larger head and month.

Well we wer'nt after bass, but they are here all the season
and we catch them all the year around. Yon Bee they fre-
quent the piles and as your line is under the wharf you hap-
pened to cet into him. Oh. yes, they grow larger than that.
I was trolling for halibut one day but about fifty yardB from
the wharf, and got a Btribe, and to my surprise I found I had
hooked a bass. "Laud him." Yon bet. weighed nearly thir
teen ponnds, I believe the largest ever oaught in the bay, al-
though the fishermen outside the heads oocasioDally bring
one in weighing over a hundred lbs. There, you've got a

rise. All right. Now watch out, I boo yoa are on. That's
right good, you are doing fine; only been here about an hour
and you have about fifteen poonds of as fine fish as you can
get in the world. Put him with the others. What! going to
quit? Tired,' well I don't blame yon, bat I am going up to
the hotel, so we will walk together.

"Yes,' onr front fishing is good, but the maokerel, smelt
and small fishing in San Diego Bay is a thing of the past.
'Why V well I'll tell you— for about three or four years past
our bay has been afflicted with that curBe of the Pacific CoaBt,
the Chinese fisherman. With no respect at all for the laws
of the country which snppirts him, he can be found where-
over the fish are, plyiog his calliog by day or night; armed
with seines with meshes so small that he captures fish as
small as three inches long. He can be seen at all hours ot
the day and night rowing from point to point until his boat
has captured. Eay in 12 hoars at least a half million of these
minnows. Loaded down, he hies himself to Chinatown or
La playa, unloads, nnd while he snatches a few hours rest,
another crew t»ke his boat and return for more fish while
more of him spread the minnows out on boards to dry, after
whioh they are Bhipped all over the country to other China-
men. .

Now this sort of thing has been going on here for, as 1 said
before, about four years, and you can eee what the result has
been. Three years ago, I have stood on the wharf and seen
the surface of the water so covered with minnows that you
couldn't put your hand between tbem, and schools of them
coverinq two or three acres. Fact, I can bring proof of it, and
now— well you can see for yourself. 'Why don't the Fish
Commissioners do anything?' Echo answers Why? I don't
know of any arrest for violating game or fish law in this
country for at least eight years past, and yet both the fish
and game laws are being violated right along I hope some-
thing will be done, thoogh. about it.' Well, here we are
"See you to morrow.' Of course, I'm at the wharf whenever
I am not busy, now that the quail season is closed and the
dncks have left us. "Well, so long." Trix.

Mr. J. M. Bassford Jr. left Vacaville on Sunday last for

edibility of the trout of that stream. We hope luck may at-
tend him, and appetite as well.

Mr. E. T. Allen, of 416 Market Street, San Francisco, in
another column advertises what he Btyles the "Abalone
Spoon" for trout and ealmon. The spoons are beautifully
finished, strong and good spinners. We have noi tried them,
but in other hanJs they have proved most effective, being
iridescent, and looking like nothing so much as a bright min-

Fraud at Traver.

The tournament held at Traver, Tulare, County, week before
last terminated most disadvantageonsly to the manager and
one or two of the local participants. It is believed that fraud of
the most flagrant and unjustifiable sort was deliberately
planned and execute J upou the gentlemen invited from a
distance to the shoot. It was announced that live birds in
plenty had been secured, bat when the shooters reached the
town and ground but about twenty-five or thirty dozeos
were on hand, which were shot off on the first day.

It was then stated that more were cooped in the town and
would be on hand the next day, but in the morning none
were to be bad, and tbe only explanation offered was that the
birds had escaped during tbe night. On tbe second day a
match at 50 Blue Rock targets. $50 entrance, was shot, and it
was in this matoh that the fraud mentioned is believed to
have been practiced -

The manager of the tournament sold pools on the match
which was participated in by Martinez Chick, H. T. Hopper,
"Crane," Shiell and Bare. Chirk was a strong favorite, and
the money of visiting shots went on him at long odds as
against either of the others individually or as a field. Tbe
scores by all but one of the local men Bare, were ludicrously
small, but at the time no deceit was suspected and the stakts
and pool money were paid. In discussing the match it w,g
suggested that the visiting shots were either clear off, or that
some trick had been practiced.

The next day when shooting began, some of the targets
trapped for the visitors were secured and also some of those
trapped for the local man B,«e.

A marked dis^imularity was noted. The visitors being
given a tarpot, just like the blue rocks but of a different and
practically unbreakable material, while the local men were
given the real bine rock target. Much indignation was felt
and expressed by the citizens of Traver.

Biie waB compelled to refund the money won by him, bat
tbe pool moDey was not repaid.

The target furnished the visiting shots is a patent fraud,
and the scheme seems to have been one of the most rascally
kind, as to which no condemnaiion is too severe.

In order to present a full statement of the case, we wrote
to some of those present, inviting them to send their opinions
for publication, and have received the following letters. Mr.
Woolery was the promoter and manager of the tournament.
Mr. Bare and Mr. Shiell are residents of Traver. Mr. Shiell
writes:

FEOM MR. SUIE1X.

Traver, Cal., April 15, 1890.

Editor Breeder axd Spoets max— Dear Sir:— In regard
to yours of the 11th inst-, 1 will try to give you as correct a
statement as possible. I don't suppose there is a man that
ever shot a clay pigeon or ever had anything to do with them
but what will say those birds as you have seen were made
for fraudulent purposes; but in what way were they meant
as a fraud?

It does not look reasonable to say they were rung in by
some of the contestant shooters, as everybody interested in
the shoot had plenty of money to my personal knowledge;
also, they had every opportunity to bet their money at odds.
Why did they not bet it if they knew those birds were rang
in in their favor? If so, they knew they had a sore thing
as we thoroughly tested those birds alter the discovery and
foond they could not be broke by shot of any size. Also,
there were part of the time three trap tenders and never less
than two, one of them being a young innocent boy that nev-
er loaded traps before. The boy has been pnmped by his
mother and many others, declares he was instructed in no way
whatever concerning loading the traps with any different
birds. Also when the discovejy was made we found just as
many of tbose frauds in hiB pile as either of the other two,
and there were just as many in tbe field which had come
from his trap as either of th6 other two traps; therefore it is \
a mystery to me how those birds came there and what they
were put there for.

Concerning the discovery, lam notable to say who first
made the discovery, as I had made such poor scores I had
concluded I conld not shoot a little bit, in fact nad got dis- '
gusted and quit aDd waB not paying much attention to the
shoot at that time. But, hearing some load talk, my atten-
tion was attracted, when I saw Martinez Chick have a bird
in his hands which looked very psculiar to me; it looked as
though it had been struck with 12 or 15 shot and was not
broken, each shot leaving a blue spot; some of them had
gone through, while others glanced off.

We found another of the same denomination and shot at it
twelve times, hitting it with something like 70 shot; evi-
dently the bird would have stood 70 more and have been a
good bird after all.

I think they were put in by some malicious person for ■ .
damage to the Cleveland Target Company, or otherwise to
damage the character of tbe Traver shooters. If any further
discovery is made I will let you know at first chance.

Yours truly, J. W. Shiell,

Tirlock, Cal , April 15, 1890.
Editor Bresder ash Sportsman:— Replying to yours of
the 11th inst., regarding the fraud praciioed at the Traver
Tournament, I will say there is no question whatever that
the birds tbrowu for visiting shooters were a fraud of the
vilest kind, and were used successfully in the way they were
intended, viz.: To be shot at but not broken. Ab it proved
to be an impossibility to break tbem at eighteen yards' rise,
which I fully demonstrated by trapping one bird and shoot-
iog it twelve times ami finally retrieved it from a stone pile
and carried it home with me as a "trophy" of the shoot,
thp bird showing forty-one shot marks, incladiog ijiiilea
number of holes through it just the size of the shot used,
there beiug also ahot buried in the bird which every shooter
knows is an impossibility with any ''breakable" target on
the market. I am at a loss to know what the counterfeit is
made of. Ii is the same in shape as the Bine Rock, cnly
moch thicker. The material is of a ''doughy" texture and
a bluish tint painted or dipped in black, and tbe top painted
ve'low, the same as the genuine. The bird is one that is cal-
culated to deceive any one unleaB they take and examine it
clo-ely. To further try tbe breaking qualities of ihe bird'I
hung one up top to me, at a distance of about twenty -five
yards, and fixed two charges of No. 8 and the same of No, 4

shot. Result, bird punctured foil of holes and still in shape
to be trapped. I agree with you io believing that the matter
should be thoroughly sifted and the guilt placed where it be-
longs that other shooters may not be similarly imposed upon.
The management cl limed to have purchased the birds from
Golcher & Co. (1 think), Agents for the Pacific Coast, but it
is hard to believe that the Blue Rock Co. or its agents would
place a spurious article on the market and ruin the trade of
the Blue Rock, which it would surely and speedily do. Being
desirous of aiding, if possible, in ferreting out the perpetra-
tors of the fraud, and showing them np in their true light, I
add my mite by merely giving yon a few of the facts, trusting
that they may aid yon in commenting on the matter, which
I hope you will handle without gloves.

Yours truly, 0. M. Judy.

FROM MARTINEZ CHICK.

San Diego, Cal., April 14th, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Yours of April 11th at
hand and contents duly noted, and in reply to your request
will state the following: I arrived at Traver, Tulare County,
April 6th, 1S90, being one of the five competitors in the Blue
Rncfc SweepstakeB, $50 entrance, being at 26 siDgle and 12
pair Blue Rocks. Ou arriving at Traver was met by a Mr,
A. H. "Woolery, who kindly escorted me to the hotel, seem-
ingly to be a perfect gentleman. After arranging all neces-
saries, had ainner, and was then invited to have a paactice
Bhoot to spend the afternoon, in which there were four of ns
participated in sweepstakes. I, being lucky, could smash as
many Blue Rocks as I wished to. Mr. A. H. Woolery re-
marked that I was hot stuff, after which we awaited the San
Francisco train, which contained several sportsmen to join
in the to-morrow's sport. Well, we all, after greeting each
other, found our way to the hotel, had a nice time telling old
tales, etc. Well, we one by one retired for the night to only
find us np and on the ground by 8 o'clock the following
morning. As the crowd thickened, pool selling commenced
by Mr. Woolery, the manager. I then suggested a small
sweepstafie, as one of the contestants was absent, a Mr.
Shiells. As soon as our sweepstake got under headway,
being at six siDgles and three pair Blue Rocks, I still re-
tained my good luck in smashing the Blue Rocks, scoring 11
out of the possible 12, winning first money. The pools were
selling very good, first one and then another selling for first
choice, so on arrival of Mr. Shiells the pieliminaries were
soon arranged so as to begin the race of the big sweepstake,
in which I felt sore of being near the top man, but must con-
fess that I was very much disappointed by scoring the enor-
mous figure of 28 out of a possible 50. I murmured over my
. bad luck, as it had never heretofore happened, but contented
myself, as I had company of the same nature. The scores
resulted as follows: Chick 28, Hopper 25, Crain 28, Shields
31, Beare 42. Beare was declared the winner and the money
delivered to him, after which we all joined to try our luck at
live birds. Had a good time; but for the lack of birds could
have had a better time.

Mr. Woolery said that he had plenty of birds in his barn,
and would catch them all to-night ready for the morniDg
shoot, but alas! on arising in the morning it was learned that
all of the birds had made their escape, so consequently no
live bird shooting to be h&d for that day; so there was noth-
ing else to do but to try my hand at the Blue Rocks. Well,
we started off in good shape, and as my luck seemed to be
good I could handle things as I choose, until I had won first
in several sweeps. My friend Mr. Beare, the ''Traver oham-
pion," or "Jack Rabbit Hunter," as they termed it, ap-
proached me with a double eagle, stating that for its fqual
his score would beat mine, being at 20 single Blue Rocks. I,
' being there for my health, immediately accepted, and the re-
sult showed a score of 11 to 15 in favor Mr. Beare. Well, I
must say that I knew my aim was true, and that by findiog
that the birds were too tough for my 10 gauge L. C. Smith,
and with a good solid load of Selby & Co.'s best, aroused my
suspicion in regard to the birds, which were dusted and could
not break. Nevertheless, I ventured to try my luck again
with -'Mr. Beare" in the nest match, similar to the one just
Bhot. fle accepted, placing the wagtr in my hands. I at
once proceeded to the field to investfgate the dusted birds,
and did not have any trouble in finding the article, as the
field waB full of them; 60 I brought one in to my competitor,
asking him if those were the kind of birds he was winning
my money with, and as he did not seem to wish to face the
music, told him that I would not give up the stakes which I
held, as I did not come here to be robbed, and also told him
that I wished him to refund the money in the ¥50 sweep-
stake the day previous. He seemed to look gnilly, bo I asked
Mr. Woolery regarding the matter, in which he stated his inno-
cence. Ab soon as I started the racket the boys, that is, the
contestants in said shoot, became "red headed" at onco over
the matter, so as there were a paity of the shooters made up
to have a duck hunt, including Mr. Beare and myself, I left
the grounds in hot water, or in an unpeaceful condition.

I said nothing more until I was out on the grounds for
dnek shooting, after which I made it my business to be in
company with Mr. Beare, so when alone with him started the
conversation regarding the thievery and asking him to refund
the money, which after a long talk came to my desire. Of
course I knew when we arrived at Traver in the evening the
other shooters would be after him as he had the money, but
what went on at Traver with Mr. Woolery and others do
not know, while we were out duck shooting. On our arrival
at the hotel in the evening things were still red hot. Mr.
Beare was asked by several to refund the money for the big
shoot. After considering the situation and feeling of his fel-
low competitors, and the style upon which the match was
conducted, thought it best tosatisfyalland return the money,
which he did. I am satisfied in my own mind that this job
of thievery was planned, cut and dried to rob us out of our
money, which they would have done if they had not been so
hoggish, and also am satisfied that Mr. Woolery, Mr. Beare
and also the trapper were well aware of the plot. They
stated that the birds came packed in the barrel with the
others, whioh I do not believe. I hope that the exposure of
this fraud will put all sportsmen on their guard against like
attempts at robbery, and truly hope that I am not to be caught
shooting against such odds, and also such men. If the Blue
Rock Company does not manufacture the composition the
they will be able to solve the matter. I can say for myself
that I will not take part in any tournament that either of
these rascals have anything to do with.

Yours most respectfully, Martinez Chick.

not know anything aboot it, only from hear say.

The manager of the meeting. Mr. Woolery, has this to say:

FROM MR. WOOLERY.

Traver. Cal , April I2th, 1S90.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I herewith enclose you
the scores made at shoot on 6th Inst, very poor scores. The
fraud you mentioned is a kind of mystery; something never
heard of before. I am endeavoring to £et at the bottom of
it. Tjntil I do I cannot write you anything much concern-
ing it. One thing sure they could not break them. Will
be in the oity in a few days and will explain all .

Yours, etc., A. H. Woolery.

Mr. Bare, the man Guspected by some of connivance in the
fraud, writes:

FROM MR. BARE.

Tbaver Cal , April I4th, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Yours of the 11th just
to hand .In reply will say that there was a fraud perpetrated
there is do doubt. But to whom or where to lay it I do not
know, and until the matter is settled where it belongs. I do
not consider it prudent to give the matter too mnch public-
ity.

Hoping you may agree with me in the matter I am most
respectfully, J. W. Bare.

In addition to the written statements, Messrs. R. M. Eddy
and Crittenden Robinson of this city, in conversation, have
expressed the opinion that a deliberate fraud was practiced
by one or more of those interested in the tournament.

That the "fake" targets were on hand is to our notion con-
clusive proof of vicious intentions. Messrs . Clabrough,
Golcher & Co., Pacific Coast Agents for Blue Rocks, disclaim
all knowledge of the fraudulent target. The disclaimer was
not necessary. The standing of the firm and its business in-
terest in increasing the sale of the legitimate targets alike for-
bid any attempt at fraud. The use of the fraudulent targets
could not have been accidental for the reason that the local
man Beare had none of them, while the others had many.

It seems that explanation of the villainous scheme must
rest between the Director of the shoot, Mr. Woolery, and the
man who profited by taking the stake money, Mr. Bare.

It rests with the two mentioned to clear the matter if pos-
sible.

In the match in which fraud was detected, which was at 26
singles and 12 pairs of Blue Rook targets, $50 entrance, the
scores were Martinez Chick, 28; S. H. "Crain," 28; H. T.
Hopper, 25; J. Shiell, 31; J. W. Bare. 42.

Such scores are absurd for all bat Bare, and in themselves
suggest irregularity of some sort.

We hope nest week to be able to present letters from others
who were present at Traver.

The citizens of that town have as much interest in ferret-
ing out the guilty ones as any others can.

Alameda Gun Club.

lar club match at 12 live birds per man, American Shooting
Association rules. The day was fair and the birds good.

A most singular report of a trap match was sent ub the
other day from Carson City by Mr. Harry A. Weaver. That
gentleman happened to be on the ground, and having no
score book, jast whittled a piece of soft wood smooth,
checked the scores on it and mailed it to this office.

The match was between Hon. J. M. Dormer, Secretary of
the State of Nevada, his Deputy, Pratt, and Mr. John Fur-
long, at seven birds per man. They killed sis eaoh, one of
Mr. Dormer'a falling dead outofbouods. Poor Mr. Weaver
lost fifty cents on the only bird clean missed by Dormer
and must consequently wait until the snow melts and walk-
*ng is good before he leaves Carson for his home in Stockton.

Do Deer Shad Every Year.

Editoe Breedee and Sportsman: — Please inform several
constant readers if a deer sheds itB horns every year or not.
Some contend that they do not shed their horns nnless they
are broken oil' or injured. Respectfully, J. S. W.

Pacific Coast Field Trials-

The Parker Gun.

Editoe Breeder and Sportsman: — The expert trap shots
of the country making the tour of the U. S. in the interest of
the V. S. Cartridge Co., finished in Boston, Mas3., April 2d,
a series of 32 matches between the Eastern and Western
teams, 40 birds to a man, 30 singles and 5 pairs. J. R. Stice,
Jacksonville, 111., being one of the "Western team, shooting
a 12-bore Hammerless Parker Gun, was high man of the 10

The California "Wing Shooting Club meets at Oakland Trot-
ting Park to-morrow morning. Visitors should take the
9 a. m. boat for Berkeley and alight at Shell Mound Station,
near which the shooting ground is situated.

The time for closure of entries to the Pacific Coast Field
Trials Derby has been extended to June 1st, 1890. May Is'
has heretofore been the date, but for the present year it was
deemed advisable by the Executive Committee to extend the
time.

There is no reason why the Derby should not be the best
yet run in California. Very many fine pointer litters have
been noted during the two years last passed and some setter
litters of mora than ordinary excellence, which should have
representations in the trials.

The Execative Committee ordered that the rule, that five
dollars forfeit should accompany each Derby entry be strictly
enforcad, and no entry will be received unless the money is
received by Jane 1st.

The general condition of the club was disoussed by Presi-
dent J. E. Elwards, Treasurer J. M. Kilgarif, Directors Wil-
liam Schrtiber end J. S. Dunham and Mr. P. S. Lin-
ville.

Inspeclion of the books showed that there was $410 due
the Club from members, and $61.05 due from the Secretary.
The liabilities are $176. The Treasurer was instructed to
make a vigorous attempt to collect the dues and arrearages
now owing.

Mr. P. D Linville suggested a vote in recognition of the
extraordinary manner in which the seoretary had performed
his duties at the last field trial, but the suggestion did not
seem to arouse enthusiasm.

The club has 52 members of whom probably thirty will
square up and retain active relationship to the institution,
A combined effort should be made to thoroughly rehabilitate
the organization, secure new members and make the trials
first rate in every respect.

From Inyo-

Mr. E. C. "Williams, Secretary of the Rod and Gun Club of
Santa Cruz is proving himself an extremely effective officer.
He is keeping his club stirred up to the necessity of obser-
vance of the game and bsh laws, and Santa Cruz County will
be anything but a happpy hunting ground for poachers here-
after.

Mr. "William Schreiber at 21 Kearney Street has on exhibi-
tion two fine cock pheasants, one tbe Mongolian bird so
common in Oregon, the other the Copper pheasant of Japan.
Tbe Board of Fish Commissioners is about to introduce both
birds. The Japanese pheasant is to our notion the better
looking bird, being heavier, of richer plumage and more game
I by report.

Editoe Breeder and Sportsman: — I wish I were able to
send you some dog news, but I believe I have the only thor-
oughbred dog with authenticated pedigree within fifty miles.
She is named Fanny B ; bred by G. "W. Bassford, Soisun
Valley. Her sire is Victor 2d, h« by Glen R.— JoBie Bow,
etc.; her dam iB Gracie Bow by King Bow — Grace, etc.
Color, liver and white. Whelped November 27, 1886. There
is but one other pointer in Owens River Valley, viz , Money,
brought from the E*st to Arizona by U. S. A. officer; from
there here by under-Sheriff W. P. Taney. Pedigree unknown;
sire and dam s. t b., imported from England, There are
three or four good field dogs of the setter type at Bishop
Creak, but I do not know their pedigree; will try tind find
out. I do not know of any other dogs in the valley eicept
curs, which are too plenty.

I would be glad to furnish sporting items if they were to
be bad. Quail are very plenty in this valley, also dncks.
Owens Lake would be a duck-hunters paradise. Some geese
in winter, and once in awhile swans. Curlew and euipe are
found along Black Rock and Fish Spring Slcughs. In the
mountains may be found grotase, mountain-quail and some
deer. Once in a while bear and mountain sheep may be met
with. I have been along tbe Coast Range from Humboldt
to San Diego, but have never seen a place where more or
larger trout can be caught than in the streams leading into
the Owens Valley from the Sierras, and along the head-
waters of Kern and other streams opposite the valley. If
you can use anything I have written, you are at liberty to
cut it up to suit yourself, as I am unused to writing for pub-
lication". Will H. Graham.

Grim '8 Gossip.

torn Hazlett and Kelly~& Samuels will start «or Denver
with their horses immediately on the conclusion of the Sac-
ramento meeting.

Griffin has a new name for the practice of bur>ing great
horses in the solitudes of non-racing stod tarms: He calls it
"Bonnerizing" them- -

As is only natural, the race track has had any quantity of
visitors during the early morning rans, and the touts have
not failed to get on to one or t*o good ihiQga.

S A Eddy, of Hanford, is handling his three-year old colt
George J. by Pasha, 2:36. and he shows a great deal of speed.
The Pasha colts are sure to come to the front before long.

Frank Baldwin, the manager of the Fresno track, has been
in town during the week, shaking hands with old friends and
making many "new ones. It is a pity that there are not more
such managers knocking arouDd..

The pacer Westmont 2:13} that has wintered at El Smith's
club house, Chicago, is in sound shape, and will start
againBt time and with running mate in the Southeastern cir-
cuit, beginning April 29ih at Washington, D. G.

It is of the highest importance that the rule requiring pert
igrees of horses to be given with all entries be enforced bv
managers of trotting associations,^ papers reporting trot-
ting races shoold always pedigree their summaries.

S. N. Straube of Fresno has sold to G. H. Bernard the
two fillies. MattieVickers and Matilda. Th-y are both by
Pasha 2:36 (sire of Moro 2:27) and out of a mare by Hocte-
hocking. The mares are both in foal to Apes 2:26.

Oar old-time friend "Billy" Ayres, of Portland Oregon, is
in the citv taking a look at the tiyers now at the Bay District
track. It is only.* few years ago that Mr. Ayres was largely
interested in "bang tails," and many times has his colors
been seen past the wire first.

There is no probability that there will be any estra racing
given by the Directors of the Blood Horse Association, as
many of the gentlemen are opposed to the eehfnie. This
will enable the runners to have a rest for a few days, prior to
starting in at Sacramento.

A few minutes' thought of what the world would be with-
out the horse, leads us to a true estimate of his vt»lne; and
enables us to realize what our lives would lose of pleasure,
power, Drotit and picturesqueness without the animal that
brings sach great, yet such controllable, powers to oar aid.—
Exchange.

The thousands which have assembled at the Bay District
track since our last issue, hive not been composed entirely
of followers of the thoroughbred, for many prominent owners
of trotting horses can daily be seen watching the runners in
t^eir work, and they seem to enjoy the sport just as much as
they do the trotting meetings.

It is the general impression that the bookmakers' stands
should be further apart in the betting enclosure. As at pres-
ent situated, there is not room for persons to pass the large
crowd thatat all times stand aronnd the "layers of the odds,"
and it is almost impossible for one to go to the upper stand.
This should be remedied in future.

Ab Stemler is at present in San Francisco, and he states
that he will start the Shippee string at Chicago and the Twin
City races. Before Fellowcharm wrenched himself, the in-
tention was to take in the extreme Eastern circuit, but from
present appearances, only the two meetings mentioned will
tee the colors of the Stockton stable.

The Hon. L. J, Rose evidently knew what a choice bit of
horse flesh he had in Fairy, the winner of the California
Stakes, for on the day previous to the one on which the
stake was run for, that gentleman b ught from the Palo Alto
Stock Farm the sire of Fairy; Argvle is by Monday, dam
Coha by imp. Australian; 2d dam Beitie Ward by Lexington,
etc. Price paid, S5.U00.

Pat Farrell is very anxious to find out the breeding of the
dam of Coquette, and I have do doubt but what some of onr
readers can inform the old time horseman of the pedigree de-
sired. It seems as though Mr. Pralher, of Yolo County, or
Fraak Malone of this city, might be able to give some clue,
by which the breeding could be obtained.

Woodnut 2:16i has been promoted to the premier posi-
tional Cedar Farm, the California stallion being oonsidered
one of the best now standing for public service in the E-ist.
Col. R. S. Strader of Lexington, Ky., who lately visited many
of the large establishments on the Atlantic Coast, says he is
the best looking horse he saw on bis entire trip.

The Kentucky Stock Farm, speaking about George Wilkes
very seriouely suggests, that Electioneer should be mated to
a few Mambrino Palchen niaies, or to the daughters of some
of Patcben's be^t Bons and says, "reasoning from analogy
•-hip should be Fl* Pioneer's best nick." Please Mr. Stock
Farm what Putchen mare cm pr.duce another Sunol or Palo
Alto.

One of the race arjimnls that the public miss from the
traok this spring is Bessie ShanDoo, formerly owDed by John
Reavey. Meeting John on the track, he was a^ked where the
mare was, and be answered that she had been sold to
Charles Vanina of Wasbo County, Nevada and was shipped
to her new home on Friday of last week. She is a good, use-
ful mare, and will no doubt be heard from over there.

There is always a lot of knowing oDes who fancy that
simple assertions are enough to make facts. It has been
common talk that Dan Miller especially prepared Ida Glenn
for the Selling race on Saturday )a«t, and that she was to be a
big surprise to the bookmakers. Now the truth of thematter
is the mare was taken from the Btud and given two short
trials, one of three-eighths and the other of hel' a mile, and
then turned loose in the race; still io the ran-off she made
Applause go the three-quarters in 1:13$.

One of the prr minent breeders of California has received a
cablegram fri- m T. B. Merry, askiogif he wishes to purchase
Dunlop for $5,000. Ii the price slated is correct, the horse
is very cheap, and as hiB performances were of the best, he
should prove a desirable animal for the stnd on any of the
breeding farms of America He wbb prominently engaged aa
a two, three, foor and five-year-old, winning at all distances,
his greatest effort beiug the win for the Melbourne Cup,
which he negotiated in the good time of 3:28}, the distance
being two miles

Capt Matthews has been adding to hiB stable by purchas-
ing from Mr. Sargent, of Gilroy, the six-year-old black stallion
John Gordon by Brown Jug, dam Maggie by Budd Doble
3764 2nd dam Ladv Clinton. The Captain's new purchase
is a magnificent specimen of the trottine horse and already
gives promise of proving very fast on the road. Several gen-
tlemen owing fast horses have tackled the black, but he haB
so far b«Hen~them all. __

Whenever you bear the owner of a stallion going about de-
nouncing the stallions owned by his neighbors, —trying to
cast suspicions upon their pedigrees, and back-biting their
owners, while he is profuse in his praises of his own horse,
and unbluBhingly seeks to impress his listeners with his own
superior horse knowledge and experience— look oat for him,
ten to one he is a fraud, and his horse a dung hill.

For years the Cockrill brothers of Scledad. have had hor-
ses on the runniog turf, but owing to their selliog Daisy D.
and Captain Al, last year Bruce Cockrill was left with only
Mero b. c, bv Wildidle. dam Precious, by Lever. Mero was
entered at the spring meeting of the Blood Horse Association
and made such a fine appearance that the Owens Bros, of
Fresno, bought the colt before he was seen by the public. The
price paid was $1,500.

It is stated that the weather is perfect at Memphis, and
but for the prevalence of buffalo gnatB the horsemen at
Montgomery Park would be happy. The track is in the pink
of condition, and the flyerB are getting into shape rapidly.
Proctor Knott has a cough. He and others of Scoggau's
string caught cold while en route, and the great gelding is
not at home to visitors. His trainer is giving him quinine.

During the present week there have been in<my gentlemen
from the Eastern States present at the Bay District track to
witness the races of the Blood Horse Association, and it has
been the generally expressed opinion that the class of horses
present were superior to those usually seen on an Eastern
track. The two and three-year-olds are away above the average,
and as several of them will be seen on the "big" tracks this
season, the race goers on the Atlantic Coast will bo able to
judge what California can produce.

It will be remembered that not long agG I spoke of Mr.
Merry's good luck in being in Australia when the Hon. James
White's horses were to be sold. If rumor is correct, "Tom"
will not benefit much by being on the ground, as the sale
will in all probability be declared, off, as it is said that the
entire stable has been sold to a young gentleman living in
Sydney. Mr. Merry's knowledge of the Australian horses ib
such, however, that I confidently expect the next steamer to
bring over a choice lot Belected by him.

Attention has been called in this paper quite a number of
times to the conflict in dates claimed" by the various associa-
tions. I have received word from the Santa Clara Valley
Agricultural Association that the date for the Sa-i Jose meet-
ing has been changed from that originally claimed to the
week preceding the Napa Meeting. According to this, San
Jose will have the pride of opening the circuit this season.
The Secretary of the Sixth District Agricultural Association
also sends me word that Los Angeles will hold their meeting
on the week beginning August 4th. It is to be presumed at
the next meeting of the Board of Directors of the Breeders'
Association that they will finally select the week they are go-
ing to have, so that all horsemen may know exactly how to
arrange their circuit.

The knee of the horse is no common joint. It is, in fact,
not one joint but three. As it is the only joint in the body
in which one bone receives the weight of the body from anoth-
er bone, in a perpendicular direction, it is furnished with the
most extraordinary precautions to prevent any injurious con-
cussion. Between the lower end of the arm bone and the
upper ends of tb.e shank bone and its two small bony attach-
ments, six small flat bones are interposed in two Layers, each
bone being deeply covered with elastic cartilages. These are
connected together by vt-ry strong ligaments, so contrived as
to bold between each layer of polished elastic cartilage a sup-
ply of oil, sufficient not only to lubricate, bat also to soften
in the most effectual manner any otherwise injurious concus-
sion.

Two months or better ago, James A. Dustin, better known
as "Jim," went down to Palo Alto to take charge of the trot-
ters during the absence of Mr. Marvin in the E^st with the
horses that were lately sold at auction. As Marvin haB
returned, Mr. Dustin has turned over the stables once more,
and now is looking for a Btable to train on the circuit. He
will work at the Bay District track, beginning operations
immediately on ths conclusion of the Blood Horse meeting.
Jim is a careful trainer, and now that he is thoroughly posted
on the Palo Alto methods, he should have a full stable in no
time. Good drivers are going to be Bcarce on the coast this
year, so that Dastin's entry into the field of competition,
will add to the pleasures of the circuit this Fall. Owners
caring to secure his services, can address him care of this
office.

In his work entitled "Training the Trottirg Horse. "Marvin
says: The Moor founded one of t he greatest California 'amilies
— horses noted for good, clean, sound legs and feet, solid
colors and excellent form. The Moors are uniformly trotters,
and as a rule are game, resolute horses. They are generally
built on the greyhound order, the most objectionable feature
being their heads, which are often large, and nearly always
of the Roman order. Many of them are stroug-wille I and
ra'tle-headed. The most noted descendants of the Moor are
his daughter Beautiful Bells, his grandson Stamboul, and Sa-
ble Wilkep, whose dam was a daughter of The Moor. The
blood of The Moor is a grand, speedy, fashionable strain iu a
pedigree, and one that is now widely appreciated. He died
young, leaving few foals, but had in him the elements of
greatness.

The following mareB have been bred to Axtell 2:12: —

Property of C. R. Noyes, Boston, Mass.: Marinette, by
Director 2:17. dam Pautalette, as given above. This filly
was sold by Indian Hill as a yearliDg for $4,000.

F. D. Myers, a prominent real estate broker of Oakland,
has gone into the breeding bnBiness quite extensively, hav-
ing purchased, iu addition to what he already owns, several
fine mares in the East. The gentleman started last "Wednes-
day morning for Lexington to bring on the mares, and he
will have room in his oar for several more than bis own. If
there are any of our readers who wish to have animals
brought out from Lexington or Dubuque, Mr. Myers can
accommodate them. A letter will reach him if sent in care
of the Kentucky Stock Farm, Lexington, Ky.

When I saw the Tidal Stakes run for on Saturday last, the
conclusion was forced on me that Flambeau was the greatest
colt ever seen, not even barring El Rio Rey. HiB run was
made so easy that it looked better than even money that he
could btatthe record whenever called on. These thoughts
passed through the mind with no nearer inspection than the
reporters' stand afforded, but on Tuesday a close look was
taken when he was stripped for the Pacific Derby, and iny
mind changed at once. I do not like the look of hiB hocks,
and one of his forelegs seems in a very dickey condition. He
may poBsibly pall through a light campaign in the East, but
if he is given hard work, he will be another of the likely
ones tit only for the stud. No doubt the racing reporter will
say something about him in the account of the race, but the
only inference I can draw from his looks is that he will be a
failure in the East. Racine had a splint last fall, which has
entirely disappeared and he looks as clean as a whistle, with
plenty of run in him to make a mark for himself anywhere.

A note from Farmington informs me that Mr. C. E. Need-
bEm, of Bellota, has had exceedingly good luck this year with
his foals, and as many of them, are by his great horse Steve
"Whipple, 2:23 (trial 2:17i), and out of first class mares, it
should not be long hefore we have many of the trotters from
Mr. Needham's stock farm enrolled in the 2:30 list. Amoog
those who have bought colts from him are W. T. Smith of
Farmington; the colt has been given the name of Select, he
being by Voter, he by Elect, a son of Electioneer. Select's
first dam is Polly by Alexander's Belmont 64, he by Abdallah
15; 2d dam by Young Hambletonian by Bishop'B Hamble-
tonian; 3d dam represented as being a Messenger and Eclipse
mare. Voter's 1st dam Twist {dam of Steve Whipple) by
Hambletonian 725; 2d dam Jenny Lind by Vermont Black
Hawk 5; 3d dam Old Stub by Young Telescope; 4th dam by
Justin Morgan. Elect's dam Inez by Nordale; 2d dam Lizzie
by Williamson's Belmont. Select, it will be noticed, is a
great grandson of Electioneer, and Bhows three direct lines to
Rysdyk's Hambletonian 10, each lines of the most approved
breed, ng.

An old friend writes and asks, What treatment is necessary
for mares and foals. Now it is many years since I had to
personally attend to such matters and I feel that my memory
is a bit treacherous, but for the sake of "old times" will gay
that mares should be carefully watched when about to foal,
as many youngsters are lost, owing to lack of attention at
the time of birth. When it is found that respiration is not
as it should be, blowing into the mouth of the foil is consid-
ered necessary, and another good plan is to rub the body
qaite sharply with a handful of straw or hay. Brandy and
water (about evenly divided) is also beneficial, a few tea-
spoonfuls given after the first respirations will tend to quick-
en the action of the vital forces. As soon as possible the
mare should be allowed to show her maternal ioBtinct by
nursing the foal, which she will do by licking and caressiDg
the colt; however, at times the mother will Dot do this; then
it is necessary to dry the little one with fl-mnel and assist it
to the teat. Mares are at times ill naturul and will not be
sacked, bat in that case the foal must be guarded to prevent
the mother from hurting her offspring. When once the
mare allows the colt to milk, there is little or no farther dan-
ger, but if the mare absolutely refuses to nurse the colt it j
must be carefully watched over and brought up by hand. A
case like this is rare, still it is necessary at times.

The large prices which have ruled in the East for California
bred trotters have incited qnite a number cf gentlemen to
purchase good young stallions, hoping that the day may not
be far distant when they will be able to realize largely by the
sa'e of well bred young stock.

It is with pleasure I note that Mr. S H. Hoy of Winters,
Yolo County, has purchased from Fred W. Loeber of the
Vineland Breeding Farm, St. Htlena, Cal., the choice two-
year-old colt Dawnlight by DawD 2:18$, dam Alida (dam of
Directs, three year old record 2:314 ) °y Admiral (sire of Sis-
ter 2:i9J, Nona ¥ 2:25, Perihelion 2:25. Huntress 2:28. etc ),
son of Goldsmith's Volunteer, 2nd dam Mas Drake (grand-
dam of Bud 2:33) by Mohawk, 3d dam Fanny Bassford. Mr.
Hoy paid $1500 for the colt, and Mr. Loeber ipforms me
that he considers him the most promising two-year-old he
ever raided. There can be no doubt from the breeding here
shown that Dawnlight should not only make a good record
for himself, bat that he Bhould materially improve the stock
in the vicinity of Winters, where he will stand for the future.

Mr Hoy is an energetic and well posted young breeder,
who has had some esperienoe already, and I have no doubt
that he will find his new purchase a very profitable one.

Mr. Charles Mai vin spent three hours with Mr. Robert
Bonner on Tuesday of last week, before starting back for
California, says the Turf, Field and Farm. The owner
Sunol has no anxiety about his great filly so long as shi
controlled by Senator Stanford, and is trained and driven
Marvin. Sunol will be brought Eist in May. and if el
keeps right, will not shrink from a meeting with Astell or
any other four year old. Marvin examined Maud S. with
the greatest care, and he expressed aBtonishment at finding
the Queen with such good legs after doing what sbe has done.
Great as is bis confidence in Sunol, lie is in doubt as to what
the result would be phould -Maud S. be put in shape and
started on the same track and day in the month of August
againi-t the time effort of the daughter of Electioneer.

The improvement which Mr. Bonner bas made in a few
week's time in Reverie, purchased at the Rose s»Ie for $10,-
000, also astonished Marvin. The filly now stands firmly on
her feet, plainly showing what practical knowledge of balanc-
ing will do. An6el was jigged up and down the stable floor,
and his action was so elastic that Marvin ventured tbe opin-
ion that he would stand training again. He addfd that tbe
stallion had speed enough to trot in 2:15, if he could be kept
at work. The change which has taken place in tbe horse
under scientific shoeing is marvellous. Mr. Marvin remarked
to us that tbe knowledge wbich be had derived from Mr.
Bonner would prove of the greatest value to bim in educat-
ing trotters at Palo Alto. He sees how he can avoid in shoe-
ing many of the mistakes of the past. He left for the Pacific
Coast strong in the faith that he would be able to keep SudoI
so perfectly balanced that she would lower this season her
record of 2:10$.

THIRD DAY.

Notwithstanding the overcaBt sky on Thursday, a fairly
good crowd assembled at the track to see the four events on
the programme run off, and they were well repaid for their
trouble, as the contests were highly interesting, and. escitiDg
enough to satisfy the most exacting. The Belling race was,
as usual, a guessing one, and considerable money went into
the bos, as each of the starters had more or less backing,
the strong favorite being Kildare, although Sheridan, Ap-
plause and IdaGlenn Lad supporters by the score. On gen-
eral appearances, the latter named was in the best condition,
with Applause a good second choice. For the Racine Stakes,
for two year olds, only four of the youngsters made an ap-
pearance, Murry's Power being scratched. The Los Angeles
filly was Dot as shifty as on Saturday and Homer had no
trouble in proving superiority, inuoh to tbe delight of those
who had pinned their faith to the Shannon colt. The mile
: heats, UDset the calculations of the talen1, for the race was
I generally conceded to Daisy D, although many ot the own-
! era who have watohed the horses closely in their work seemed
' inclined to fancy Coloma. "There is many a slip 'twist the
i cup and the lip" and as Dan Dennison expressed it "Dive
; knew he would have to walk home if he lost the race, bo he
, used a little exertion." Many of the stable bojs bad a field
ticket bo the shouts of the lads when Douglas wor, was some-

I thing to be remembered. The Sequel Stakes brought forth
i another surprise, inasmuch as close observers have generally
. been willing to admit that Al Farrow could not go over a

mile and an eighth, and many believed he was faint hearted.
But the result mu*t have caused such believers to change
their minds for he proved himself a horse of courage, endur-
ance, and more than all, a weight carrier. As a days sport,
the like is rarely seen especially as the starting was much

. better than it was on the two previous days, and general sat-
isfaction was expressed by all who went for sport alone, the
only grumblers being those who lost their money.

; The Judges of the day were Col. H. I. Thorlon, M. F. Tarpey
and Mr. Guntz, while the timers seats were filled by K T.
Carroll, James A. Dustin and Edwin F. Smith.

At the third bugle call, William Coombs, of Napa, trok (he
flag, and although the gentleman has had a great deal of
experience in the past, he was almost an hour in getting
them in something like good shape before he oould send them
on their journey. Sallie C. and Nerva were particularly bad

. natured, and both gave signs of being in season. MaDy

■ breakaways were made, and at last the welcome shout was
raised ''they're off." True enough; the fUg deeerded, and
Kildare was a leDgth in the lead, but in a stride or two
Sheridan was at his shoulder, he lapped by Ida Glenn. Ab
they shot around the turn, Applause and Oakdale worked up
on tbe leaders, the balance being strung oot behind. On the

i backstretch, Kildare, Glenn aud Sheridan were on even

I I terms, and as Api lanse was given bis head, the sou of Three
, Cheers was soon on an equality wiih tbe others. At the

half, the four were haviDg a determined battle, with the nose
of Sheridan ehowiug in front for a moment or two, but he
, wbb quickly displace! by K'ldare. On the upper turn Ida
Glenn was taken back, but as the leaders swept into the
homestretch, she was given her head, and a battle royal eri-

■ sued between the mare, Applause and Kildare. At the draw
gate the race was virtually over, as Glenn had the speed of
the party, and weDt under the wire winner by a neck, Kil-
dare Becond. and Applause on Kildare's flank. Of course it
would not be a selling race if there had not been "a kick." so
on dismountiog, the jeekeys on Kildare and Applause both
claimed foul against the rider of Ida Glenn, and after a long

' i coLference, the judges placed Ida behind, and decided aB fol-
, lows:

The second race on the card waB the Eaoine Stakes,
named after the winner laBt year, he having covered the dis-
tance in 1:14}. Whenever that time is beaten the stake will
be renamed after the winner. Four two-year-olds sported
silk, the favorite being Mr. Rose's Fairy, tbe filly which
showed to suoh advantage in the California Stakes. Many
prominent bettors fancied Homer, and several large amounts
were booked anent the representative of the Undine Stable,
his easy win on Tuesday gaining him many friends. When
the starter got them away, it was with Homer in the lead,
but he was quickly caught up to by Fairy, the two making
a pretty race from" the half mile pole around the turn and in-
to tbe homestretch. Ab the caatigation commenced, the filly
wanted to quit, but kept up well to the drawgate, where she
showed plainly that she had had enough, and Homer was al-
lowed to win as he pleased by at least two open lengths, with
Conrad three leDgtbs behind Fairy. And now comeB the

turn and prepared for a run up the backatretoh, they were
paired, Coloma and Daisy leading, with Douglas and Brady
at their heels. No change occurred until tbe middle of the
upper turn was reached when Brady was Bent up to join the
leaders, the three turning into the straight together. Down
the homestretch the four came, Douglas gaining at every
stride on the others and at the head of the upper stand he
was leading and won handily by almost two lengths, Brady
coming in second, Daisy third and Coloma last.

Three hundred to eighty were now about the way the
pools sold on the two remaining in the race, Douglas finish-
ing so strongly that it was dollarB to beans he would win the
deciding heat. There was no misplaced confidence in this,
as he won in a common canter, Coloma showing signs of dis-
tress,

BILLIARDS.

For the last event of the day the Sequel Stakes, one and
three-eighths miles, another surprise was sprung on the
shrewd ones. If one would listen to horsemen's tales the
Directory was giving everything in sight to Palo Alta. "Was
not Faustine in at 114 pcoDds. who could beat her at the
weieht?" Stilla few thought Fliny. with J 10 pounds, might
do the trick, and backed him accordingly, while Al Farrow
had a slight support from those who back the "big horse"
every time he starts. The horses scored several times before
the tlag fell, but at last they got an even start, with Rain-
drop showing in front fir-t, barrow and Abi in the second di-
vision, and the balance well bunched. As they passed the
wire for the first lime it was Raindrop, Farrow and Abi, the
second horse being held well in band by his rider. In the
turn Raindrop was in the lead by four open lengths, Farrow
second still under a pull, and "the long tailed mare" still
third.

Down the backstretch the same relative positions were
maintained. Raindrop making all the running, much to the
discomfiture of field buyers, who fancied that 6he should not
have been sent at such a cracking pac1, and in the torn she
proved the correctness of the theory by falling back to the
field, having run herself out. Before the three quarters was
reached, Abi was in tbe lead, but the pride of position was
only on sufferance, as Al Farrow was let out at the head of
the homestrelch and quickly passed the mare never being
again headed, he winning in a romp by two leDgths, Abi sec-
ond, McGinnis third. The following is the

i The bettins race of the day was the one of mile heats in
which the starters were Daisy D., Coloma, Dave Douglas and
Jack Brady. 1 he mare was a great favorite and money poured

\ in in handfulB on her both in the auctions and to the book-
makers. After a little delay Mr. Coombs trailed the flag and
awfty they went, Douglas a length in advance, the others
bunched. As the turn was reached, Coloma Bbowed in front,

I Douglass having fallen behind, the leader being hard pressed

1 by Jack Brady and the favorite. Down the backstretch and
into tbe upper turn the positions were still the same, but
when nearing the three-quarter pole, Brady was pulled back
and thetwoleiders made a hot fiuieh which resulted in Colo-
ma winning bv half a length, Daisy D. second, Brady, third.
Daisy still retained the position of favorite, with Coloma
well up for second choice, pools selling until the flag again
fell. This time Donglas was again away in the lead and by
long odds he looked the freshest one of the quartette. Young
Dennison took him back gradually, and as they rounded the

It is now a little more than two years ago that imported
Greenback wbb brought to America, in company with some
of the best animals ever sent over from England. At the
time, "Vigilante," the well known authority on matters per-
taining to the turf, wrote as follows in the New York Spirit
of the Times:

"Greenback, the stallion, was out in the stallion paddock
when we arrived, with Mr. Easton and Mr. Charles Reed
viewing his capers as he lunged and trotted under the exhil-
arating influence of the keen bright air. Greenback ib, bar
Eayon d'Or, the most magnificent specimen of a blood horse
that we have seen among the imported horses of the past fif-
teen years. He is thirteen years old, a whole colored brown,
with broad, flat legs, great length and liberty, a fine spread
of hips and every evidence of great constitution and animal
vigor. Abont the head and neck he is much of the type of
Stoekwell, but bodily he is different, having more of that
trim auality of the Leamingtons, only more substantial,
straining probably to his grandsire, The FyiDg Dutchman.
He is like an eel as he moves about with a quick, sinuous
glide. He is a superbly coated horse, reflecting a purple
sheen, which blazes in the sunlight, and no one would dream
that be had so recently left the ship Greenback's blood is
as high as his conformation. He is a son of the French
horse Dollar, who was by Flying Dutchman, dam Payment,
by Slave. Dollar's dam was the dam of Florin, the sire of
Florintin, winner of the French Derby in 1866, and of Man-
tilla, the champion French two-year-old of 187S. Dollar's
merit as a Bire iB famous, as he got Salvator, St. Cyr, Peris,
Almanza, Nathan, Fontaiuebleau, Salvanos, Torrent and An-
drncles. One of his daughters, Nellie James, produced Jack
of Hearts, Jacobus, etc., in Mr. Belmont's stud. Salvator
won the Grand Prix de Paris and French Derby in 1875, and
Salvanos woo the Cesarewitch in 1872. On the side of his
dam Greenback is glorious. His dam was the Duke of Ham-
ilton's great mare Music, the best broodmare in Eorope.
She has foaled Ossiau, Fiddler, Song, Songstress. Nina, Po-
etry, etc., Nina being one of the best two-year-olds of 1SS7,
winning the Clearwell, Bretby and Homebred. As for Ossi-
an, she won the St. Leger, while Fiddler beat Fox-hall for the
Alexandria Plate. Mutdo is a daughter of Stoekwell, from
the invincible One Act by Annandale; 31 dam Extravaganza
by Voltaire, etc , gives Greenback an infusion of Blacklock
blood. Greenback was a really good race horse, winning tbe
Stretchworth StakeB, at Newmarket, bb a two-year-old, and
the E*rl Spencer Plate, at Northampton, as a three-year ol'.
The Peel Handicap, (he Queen's Plate, at Ayr, and the Cnle-
donian Cup, at tbe same place, also fell to hi» sba^e. He has
got severil winners, having sired Greenlight, Greenjacket,
Greenshank, Greenwave, Greenhorn, etc. He is the only
direct representative of Bay Middleton's male line in Amer-
ica, and will be a grand outorobs for our native mares.

McCleery has begun practice fur his coming contest with
Schaefer— which will be played here about tbe 20th of May.
Jake haB demonstrated tbat he is tbe champion of the world
and McCleery says 'if anyone can discount me and win it
certainly is Schaefer."

There has been a great revival in the interest of the "gen-
tlemens game" here of late, and the hope of many is to see
the "big six" players enter lor a tournament (handicap) here
as played in Chicago (making it 8 inch balk line and add Ben
Saylor & McCleery) for an$8,000 purse— giving a weeks phy
— financially it certainly would be a success.

The Local tournament at the Cafe Royal is drawing to a
close. Prof. MoCleery, manager of the Baldwin Rooms will
arrange an amateur tournay to begin about May 1st.

There are two or more Pin Pool players lately arrived from
the East. Query— if they want Pin Pool why don't they tack-
le McCleery instead of drawing in people who profess
to play only for amusement.

Leland Stanford and Palo Alto.
It is not the design of the Breeder and Sportsman
to interfere in any manner whatever in matters which
have political trend, or in affairs which are of personal sig-
nificance. It is eminently fitting at this time, however,
that the chief paper of the State an i coast, devoted to
the interests cf the turf, and the breeding of thorough-
breds and tro'ters, should present suitable tribute to
Leland Stanford, as the foremost patron of the breeding
industry on the whole Pacific coast, if not in the entire
oountry.

California owes gratitude to Leland Stanford for his
invaluable and munificent services in this respect, in the
establisment of the great breeding farm at Palo Alto,
which is famous for its grandeur of area and magnifi-
cence of system, yet more for its peerless product, in
quality and performance, of the trotters that great farm
has produced. This debt of gratitude is freely acknowl-
edged throughout California, without disparagement or
omission to any other of the ranking breeders.

Great wealth was required to engage in the undertak-
ing. The vast area essential to the enterprise was of
itself a matter of very large cost, and this was much
exceeded in the purchase of the best lines of blood, and
of highest type, with which to stock the Palo Alto farm.
Superior judgment, studious care in the selection, and
fine discrimination in the purchase, were prerequisites,
and the ability as well as. the disposition to overlook cost
in the determination to secure these highest types of
horses were indispensable qualities. Leland Stanford is
endowed with these dominating Datural faculties, and
his years of experience have wrought their brightening
influence. He devoted time to the quest, and from the
noted breeding farms of Kentucky and Pennsylvania,
and other portions of the East, he chose with singular
intelligence the founders of his unrivalled stud at Palo
Alto.

It was not for his own enjoyment only that he devoted
his time and care, aad disbursed his wealth; nor with the
purpose to make Palo Alto farm a source of profit, that
he embarked io^ this. His better motive, and loftier
object were to the establishment of a system which would
greatly improve the breeding interests of California and
the Pacific coast, ultimately to produce the highest in
type and choicest in commanding qualities of any quar-
ter of the entire country. It has been to the greater
renown and substantial benefit of California that the
Palo Alto breeding farm has put forth so many celebri-
ties of the turf and stud. Electioneer is at the head of
the list of famous Bires for Bpeed and quality. Among
his sons and daughters, the names and extraordinary
performance are familiar, of Bell Boy, Manzanita, Sunol,
Palo Alto, Anteeo, Antevolo. There are many more, but
the mention of these will suffice.

The annual sales in New York are further in testimony
of the advanced rank of California horses at the East. If,
is largely due to the sagacious founding of Palo Alto
farm by Leland Stanford. The broader effect of his
grand plan in breeding is every year better developed in
the quality of the horses for daily use in every capacity
— as the well-trained, spirited, yet gentle and safe horse
for pleasure driving, the horse for city work, the farm
horse, and, superior to all others, for roadsters and dis-
play.

Leland Stanford has, besides, visited England, and
from the famous lines of thoroughbreds he has secured
colts and sires of greatest celebrity in racing, to make
Palo Alto Farm complete in its equipment. His exam-
ple has encouraged other of the men of millions aDd
disposed to stock breeding to engage in the enterprise on
grand scaleB. These great farms will eventually work
such improvement as to animate the farmers of Califor-
nia to the better system of breeding, which shall make
the horse and other domestic animals of this State the
boast and pride of owners, and the observation of all.

There are other great and noble works of Leland Stan-
ford in California, aside from his railroad connection and
apart from political concern, which have impressed the
people with the deep sense of respect and honor they
bear toward him. His crowning magnificent benificence,
the Leland Stanford Jr. University, will endure as the
splendid monument to educate the youths of California
and to the enlightenment of all and the memory of its
founder's most munificent gift to the equal benefit of
every class and every grade, will be honored and revered
inseparable from the great institution, in every Age.
But within the sphere of the Breeder and Sp-okt&max,
the reference is confined to the work of Leland Stanford

in the establishment of Palo Alto Breeding Farm. The
highest praise is his in this connection. It is impulsively
awarded and popularly expressed. The great wealth he
has accumulated in California is being returned to the
better account' of the people of I he State by the most
advantageous and most useful methods, to the material
benefit and enduring good of all. His work and bounty
reaches beyond the present, and will be of greater wortfe
and broadar benefit as generations succeed. It is with'
out equal example in the history of the world, and hat
no parallel in the vast measure of the endowment. If
brings to California an enviable fame — alike in tht
grandeur of the work and the possession of a citizen
inspired to such nobleness of soul. The name and char-
acter and honor of Leland Stanford hold warm place in
the hearts and memories of California, and these senti-
ments and emotions are not wisely to be disturbed.

Wanda, 2:24.

There is probably no one thing that will make i
breeder feel so very much annoyed as the creditiug of ai
animal with a record to a wrong horse. Last year wi
had occasion to call the attention of our readers to thi
fact that Wanda, 2:24, was by Eros, 2:29$, and not bj
Fallis, 2:23, as was then elaimtd. To substantiate oui
statement, F. H. Burke, Esq., of this city, the owner o:
Eros, produced affidavits enough so that we were enable*
to positively state that Wanda should be accredited t(
Eros and not to Fallis. Owing to an oversight prob
ably, the Wallace Registering Company, in publishing
the year book for 1S89, states that Wanda is by Fallis
and her dam is given as Girofle by Elmo 891. In Wal-
lace's Monthly an advertisement of Fallis appears, am
therein it is also stated that Wanda is by Fallis. Mr
Burke has forwarded the necessary affidavits and certifi
cates to the office of the Wallace Company, and in thi
last number of the Monthly we find the following edi
torial:

"In the Year-Book, the bay mare Wanda, four-year-olt
record 2:24, is credited to Fallis, 2:23, son of Electioneer, ant
her dam is given as Girofle, by Elmo S91.

Some time Binca we were made aware that this pedigre* \
was disputed on behalf of Eros, 2:29.1. another noted son o (
Electioneer, The evidencewe had when the Year-Book veni (
to press seemed conclusive enough that Fallis was the sire o (
Wanda; but now, alter some investigation and the filing o i
fuller evidence, we are convinced that Eros was the sire o I
Wanda and that her dam was Accident, by E'mo.

In 1884, the late Mr. Henry W. Seales, of Mayneid. tb<
neighboring town to Menlo Park, Cal , bred Girofle, by Elmo*
to Fallis, 2:23, and bied Accident, by E'mo, to Eros, 2;29J-
both horses being in the stud at Palo Alto. Both mares hat
foals, Accident, a bay filly, and Girofle, a bay colt. Oi
November 17. 18S6. Mr. Seales' horses were sold by unction
at Maytield, by Killip & Co , the live-stock auctioneers oi
San Francisco, and the bay filly was sold, being No. 3t> in th
catalogue, as by Fallis, out of Girofle. We have affidavit!
from the man in charge of Mr. Searles' broodmares and foals'
and from the men employed nnder him. in which they sweaj
that the intention was to sell the bay gtlding by Fallis, out o
Girofle. and that it was he that was catalogued, but that it
separating those that were to be sold from those that were ■
be kept, "those babies got mixed up," and the bay 611y wai
turned into the sale in place of the bay gelding.

The auctioneer swears further that after the sale Mi)
Scales told him the tilly was sold by mistake, that she wa
not bred as stated, and desired him to see at what fignre sb
could be repurchased from Mr. Burke. He also makes sffil
davit that Killip & Co. sold at anction, in San Francisco
February 23, 1S89, the bay gelding Samoa, by Fallis, ont oi
Girofle, four years old — the same age as Wanda. As Mt
Seales' foreman swears that Girofle never bad twins, it il
clear that she could not have produced both the geldic,!
Samoa and the tilly Wanda in one year. So, unless addil
tional evidence reveals something new, we most credit \\ 'and
to Eros, dam Accident, by Elmo."

The Turf Guide-

It is now a number of years since the Goodwin BroB
of New York issued their first volume of the Turf Guide1
which was a worthy successor to the annual books issuetj
by "Krik." There was not an editor in the country buj
felt sorry when the sporting editor of the New Tori
World had to announce to the public that the support hi
received was insufficient to warrant him in continuity
the publication of his guide, but the Goodwin Bros
stepped at once into the breach and tilled what woult
have been a serious break in the turf records of thi
country. From the date of their first issue they hav>
published a very serviceable work, one in fact which n«i
association can afford to be- without, and the supporter!
of the racing turf cannot expect to follow the form showi
by horses unless they constantly study the guide as it i
now issued. The publishers have notified us that the;
will issue the first volume for this year on the loth o;
the present month, and it is presumable that the book
are now on their way here. There will be several nev
features introduced, as for instance, the names of stable'
under which borsea run, together with the indi vidua.
name or names of owners of such stables. In the sum
mary of the races they have also included the names o
*be owners of winning horses, and it goes without say
ing that all the old prominent features will be retainec
in the Guide for 1890,

Sale of Thoroughbreds.

At the annual spring sales of the yearling thorough-
breds in Kentucky or in New York there is always great
competition for those which represent the produce o*
speedy families, and it may be therefore concluded that
at the sale of the Edgewater and Kingston Stud year -
lings, comprising thirty-five head, there will be a great
deal of competition among the purchasers. The cata-
logue shows that the colts and fillies are by Springbok,
Audrain, Oaondago, imp. Silvermine and imp. Deceiver,
the above being the stallions in service at Edgewater.

In the Kingston catalogue we fiud the get of Longfel-
low, imp. Zorilla, imp. The III Used, Jils Johnson and
Duke of Montrose; we find yearling brothers to Audiain,
Gbano, Ascalon, Ascoli and Sierra Nevada; also half
brothers to "Weasel, Olaudo, School Master, "Warrior
and Sonnet, a fall sister to Lsla May, and also a full
sister to East Lynn.

Among the Kingston lot we find half brothers to Hel-
ter Skelter, Biscuit and Prodigal Son, together with half
eisters to Winning Ways and Rollin Hawley, and a full
sister to that great horse Keuney. On the day following
the above sale there will also be sold at the same place
fifty-two bead of yearlings, two year olds and three year
olds, brood mare?, stallions and horses in training; the
yearlings number twenty-nine and are the get of King
Alfonso, Jils Johnson, Longfellow, Himyar, Duke of
Montrsse, imp. Rossington, Onondaga, Virginius, Fal-
aatto, Col. Clark, Gov. Bowie, Harry O'Fallon, Bersan,
imp, Rapture, Melbourne (formerly Elias Lawrence),
Turco or Melbourne, Yolturno, imp. Stylites and Jim
Gore. Among them is a full brother to Brandolette,
half brothers and sisters to We Wa, Teuton, Yorick, As-
ceoia, Marguerite, Autocrat, Monocrat and Jack Rose,
aod out of mares by Longfellow, imp. Gen. Atbol, Pat
Malloy, Reverberation, LisboD, Knighthood, Lightning,
King Ban, Thunder, Virgil, Bertram, King Alfonso,
Lever, Eolus, "War Dance, Tobe Drum, Charlton, Tom
Bowling, Revolver, Hurrah. "Wanderer, Wildidle, Je-
rome, Edgar, Gen. Shields, Aramis, and Ballinkeob
all from racing families.

Among the broomares are a full sister to Eolian, half-
sisters to Jennie June and Explosion (Dew Drop's dam)i
by such sires as Eolus, Lisbon, Ten Broeck and Ring-
master.

Among the two year olds are full sisters to Burlington
and Spendwest, by such well known sires as Powhattan,
Harry O'Fallon, Spendthrift and Ten Broeck. The older
horses are by Germantown, King Ban, Forester, Rossi.
fer, Duke of Montrose, Allan Pinkerton, Ten Broeck and
Kyrle Daly, from racing and producing families.

These sales will be held at Treacy A Wilson's stable,
Lexington, Ky., beginning each day at 9 a. m. For cat-
alogues address this office, or Bruce and Kidd, the auc-
tioneers, who will execute any commissiens that may be

all cases of sick or injured horses or cattle by sending an explicit de-
scription of the case. Applicants will send their name and address

At theopeniug of the racing season Silt Lake City has
usually been in the van with its advertisement, announc-
ing to owners of trotters and thoroughbreds that they
would give an early meeting so that those who felt in-
clined to patronize the track at the Mormon City could
do so before branching oat for the Montana Circuit, and
this year proves no exception to the rule. In the appro-
priate column will be found the announcement of $7,000
to be given in purses. The authorities state that the
meeting is arranged to accommodate horsemen in their
way to the great racing circuit of Montana, and as the
meeting at Denver closes on June 7th and dc»s not be-
gin in Montana until July 14th, it gives ample time for
resting at Salt Lake. At the present time the city is
enjoying an era of prosperity which justifies the antici-
pation of the best meeting ever held. They extend a
cordial invitation to all horsemen to visit their meeting,
and as their programme is a long and varied one, al-
most all horse owners can find some purse in which they
may enter their horses. Troiting, pacing and running,
are equally distributed, and as there are five days in all*
with liberal disbursements of money, the meeting should
receive a large number of entries from the Californians
who will take their stables Eist immediately after the
Sacramento meeting. The advertisement gives full par-
ticulars, amount of purses, and spates that May 30th is
the day for entries closing.

W. J D.

I have a large grey mare that has been lame for some time
in the near bind leg. My friends tell me she has got a
thorouga-pin. The swelling has been there for some time,
and does not increase or decrease. I have bliBtered her
twice, but without any good result. Can you suggest any
treatment that might be of service?

Answer. — I would suggest that you have the mare exam-
ined by some competent veterinary surgeon, but if there is
not one in your neighborhood, send to Mr. McKerron, Ellii
Street, San trancisco, for one of his patent thorough pin
trusses. They possess many advantages, sb the horse can be
constantly worked with it, and also he down. 1 have every
reason to think that one would be beneficial on your animal.

I. M. C.

A chestnut mare of mine recently struck her knee against
the manger while being dressed; the result is a large swelling
on the joint. It is very hot and painful. Will you kindly
Buggest some treatment.

Answer. — Foment the leg with hot water, and apply a mix-
ture of soup liniment four ounces, tiact of opinm two
ounces, twice daily. Give a purgative consisting of Aloes,
six drapis; common mass, half ounce. Keep the mare on a
low diet, such as bran mashes and little hay. Give no exer-
cise for a few days.

Testimonial.

We are pleased to again place the advertisement of Goui-
bault's Caustic Balsam before our readers, aa we know it to
be a staple remedy for the many cases for which it is recom-
mended. As a blister to be used in cases of enlargement,
sprains, diphlheria, etc., it has no equal, being powerful,
effective and perfectly safe for anyone to use, and with no
danger of leaving any scar or blemish, as is the case with so
many of the blisters used to-day. The importers, Lawpence,
Williams & Co , of Cleveland, Ohio, are reliable, and our
readers requiring anything of the kind, oan afford to write
them for circulars, and for any special information desired. *

Spokane Falls.

Can you tell me when colors were first worn by jockeys?

Answer — The first mention of an owner having distinctive
colors is to be found in the first volume of Clunv's Racing
Calendar, 1727, entered in this style: "The Dnke of Somer-
set's b m Brown Betty, rid in yellow." But these were left
entirely to the choice of the owner, for in seven entries two
are "rid in white," two in yellow and three in red, so that the
colors were of very little use in distinguishing a horse when
running. Nor does there seem to have been any hard and
fast line drawn until 1762.

Mr. Rose will start East, on the conclusion of tbe Sacra-
mento meeting, with a dozen of his well-bred thoroughbreds.
He has every prospect of a successful season, and sU hiB Oal-
'lomift friends wish him "good luck,."

Will you please publish or give through the columns of
your valuable paper, the pedigree of Sherman's Black Hawk?
Also state if any of his get became in any way noted by per-
formance. I think Sherman's Black Hawk was formerly
owDed in Stockton, Cal.

Answer. — You evidently refer to MeCracken'a Black Hawk,
foaled 1857, got by Vermont Black Hawk 5, dam not traced.
Bred near Utica, N. Y„ and sold by a widow lady to Mr. Mc-
Cracken, who took him to California in 1860. Black Hawk
died in 1S69, the property of Dr. Grattan, Stockton, Cal. He
is the sire of SisBon Girl, 2:2S£, and the sire of the dams of
Ha-Ha, 2:22}, and Overman, 2:19}.

Can you let me know, to decide a bet, how and when Al-
exander's Abdallah died. Did he ever have another name?

Answer.— Abdallah 15, was taken from Woodbnrn Faim
in February 1S65 by confederate soldiers and along with Bay
Chief was driven across the Kentucky river, wnere a com-
pany of Union soldiers came upon the camp of the southern
soldiers. In the conflict which ensued Buy Chief was woun-
ded and Abdallah was recaptured, he being found in a sta-
ble where he bad been left by his first captors. Mr. Alexan-
der claimed the stallion but the man who had him in poss-
ession refused to give him up, and the men trom Woodbnrn
followed tbe Union soldiers some fifty miles. Here Abdal-
lah was turned loose by the troops and the Woodbnrn people
caught tbe horse and took him back to Lawiecceburg where
he v. as taken with pneumonia and after a few days died in
his thirteenth year. He was called at one time Joe Love,
when Joel F. Love, and James Milier owned him at Cynthia-
na, Ky.

Answers to Correspondents are usually of such a nature
that many items of information may be given in the column
devote for that purpose. However, P. A. asks for a list of
the brood mares that have been owned, or are now owned in
California, which have put two in the 2:30 list, or put one,
and sired a aire or dam. After a lot of sorting out, the fol-
lowing list is given, taken from the Year Book. It may not
be absolutely correct but is very nearly so.

Sydney, New South Wales, March 19, 1S90.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — There should be borne
big chaDgea shortly in connection with Colonial racing by
reason ot the sales advertised by the Hon. James White; the
Hobartville Stud, recently presided ovtr by the late Andrew
Town, aDd the New Zealand Stud Company. Mr. White.is
parting with everything, barring his stnd stock and his pet.
Abercorn. The yearlings — so it is reported— have been pur-
chased by a syndicate of eleven persons, who have thrown
in £500 pounds each for the eleven youngsters, eight colts
and three allies, a conple of the males being full brothers to
Dreadnought and Titan. In the event of cups being won in
the future to prevent discord amongst the owners as to pro-
prietorship, it has been decided to hand them ovtr to Mr.
White. Amongst the adul's to come under the hammer will
be Dreadnought, Titan. Singapore, Sinecure, Kudolph, Lava
and many o" hers of tip-top quality. The Hobartville Stud
will come before the public on the 29th of May, when the
sires Trenton, Segenhoe, Gloucester, Cheviot, Sardonyx and
Monmouth will in all probability change hands. The New
Zealand Stud Company, at which the defunct and world-re-
nowned Musket reigned as Lord of the Harem, will also put
some first water animals on the market, and the three sales
combiued should prove of sufficient importance to draw the
attention of buyers all the world over. The fact of Carbine
and Maxim, two New Zedlanders, heading the list in the han-
dicap for the Australian Cup, may tend to show the respect
with which the Moarilander is held in Australia. Mttxim haB
never come over to Australia, but he is a magnificent animal,
and, as I have before stated in a letter to your paper, is just
the sort your stud masters should not let price stand in the
way of obtaining.

A novelty in the way of racing has been introduced by the
Rosehill Race Club, a proprietory instiiuiion, with its race
course Bituated a few miles out of Sydney. It is called the
Tontine Stakes for now yearlingB to be run during the sea-
son of '90— '91. The winner of the three events, half mile to
be run in August, 1890, six furlongs in April, 1S91, and mile
in July, 1891, Beoures the Btake of £1000 added by the club,
in addition to payments made by owners, but one horse fail-
ing to win the three, the stake goeBon inert a^ng year by year
until it may assume big proportions. The winner of each
event receives £100 from the fund. Australia received quite
a shock a few weeks back when it became known that its idol
Abercorn had severely injured himself whilst doing a gallop,
and would in all probability never show again on a race
course. However, "Abby" has continued on the improviug
list up to date, and although he will be unable to start at the
ooming A. J. C. autumn meeting, he is expected to spurt
Bilk later on.

The Victorian Racing Club autumn meeting, held at Flem-
ington, near Melbourne, commenced on the 1st of Maroh.
The card opened with the Hopeful Stakes, for which the
Hon James White's Marco, an antriedeon of Martini — Henry
and Melanie were baoked on the strength of his breeding and
stable as first favorite, and he duly justified the confidence
placed in him by winning from a moderate HelJ. The St
Leger, usually au uninteresting race, proved an t-xception to
the rule, as only the Hon. James White's pair. Dreadnought
and Singapore faoed the music and the p*ir fioiwhed in the
order named. For the Newmarket Hau neap, six furlongs,
all the flyers of repute put in an appearance, but aristocratic
lineage and wonderful trials went for naught, as the winner
turned up in the rank outsider Churchill, a 33 to I chtmce,
who won from Boz, whilst Sir Modred's son, Sir Williim,
filled third place. The Hon. White ugain scored with ihe
gelding Titan by Chester — Tempe, which wen the Ascot Vale
Stakes. The hero Carbine annexed the Esseuden Stakes, one
mile 2£ furlongs, from Singapore, whilst Meloa filled third
position, and Titan secured another win for his popular own-
er in the Sires Produce 8takes. The Australian Gup, 2£ miles,
brought out the cracks again, when they finished in ihe order
of Dreadnought, Melos and S'r William, in Lbe great time of
3 minutes 59i seconds. The Hon. James followed up his
success by winning the Nursery Handicap with Prelude, a
filly by Martini, Henry and Philliua. New Zealand wbb to
the fore in the Aotumn Handicap, one mile rive furlongs,
which was won by Scots Grey with 7st. 111b. by the immor-
tal Musket from the Maid of Athol. Singapore and Sir Wil-
liam started with S->t. 10lb. and 8st. 51b. respectively, but
were unable to run into a place. The champion Stakes,
three miles, weight for age, brought out Melop, Dreadnought,
Carbins and Rudolph, the betting being even on Dread-
nought. Approaching home it looked like a duel between
Dreadnought and Carbine, but Melos fairly electrified the on-
lookers by passing the pair and winning by a length all out.
Melos is a four-year-old, which makes the win all the more
meritorious, as a glance at the records will -how that tb.
three-year-old has all the best of the weight-for-age soBle in a
three mile race. Since Fishhook won in 1867, no less than

sixteen three -year-oldB have won the Champion race as
against five other ages. £2500 has since been offered for
MeloB and refused. Titan won the Special Juvenile Stakes,
which is for geldings only, and Carbine added another win-
ning bracket to his name in the All-aged Stakes. The Place
Handicap, one and oae-balf mile, was won by Tautallor,
Bonnie Spec second, and Sir William third. Carbine again
showed his consistency by winniDg the Loch Plate, the task
of beating Singapore and Fishwife proving only play for him.
The meeting was a most successful one, the Hon. James
Whit?, as per usnal, securing the largest portion of the stakea
—£5547, 4, 0.

Moorebank the sensation horse of the Caulfield Cup, about
whom I told you such a pot of money had been lost, was re-
cently cast in his box, and received such injuries that it was
found necessary to destroy him. An autopsy was held by a
veterinarian, wben it was found that his hind quarters were
quite decayed, and it is now surmised that the horse was
poisoned prior to the running for the Cup, which accounted
for the prior show he made on the course after doing such
wonderful things on the traiuing track. "The Jungle."

DAM FASSY FERN BY JACK HAWKINS

Son of Boston.

The grandam of Maud S, (2:0850 was by Boston an1
the grandam of Jay-Eye-^ee (2:10) was by Lexington,
son of Boston. So Balkan is the same remove from
Boston that Maud is, and one remove nearer than
Jay-Eye-See.

Fanny Fern has produced Mol'v Drew. Onyx, Fred
Arnold* Moby Fern ana Balkan, all by different 8ir» s.

Bolkan's sire and dam both being producers, and he
being a trotter himself with a record of 2:29 1-2 ithree-
year-old) and timed separately 2:22 1-* in 4-year-old
Stak->, Bay District Track. October H, 1S89— it is bat
fair to presume that he will get trotters of the high

DESCRIPTION.

He is seal brown, 16-1 ihands high, in style rivalled
by few, and excelled by none with 'as pure a gait as
has yet been exhibited in public— bar none.

Balkan will be at Oakland Trotting Park for the

Hurrah was imported by John Eeber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long list of winners. His si^e Newminster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam. Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. Newninister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1831. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 64 races out of 64 starts, by Dr Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cup, 1837—40-41—42,
tbe'only horse that ever accomplished that feat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheery is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat ABteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and heat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Three Cheers to be the fineBt type of the Newmin-
ster line in America.

LOCATION.

Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This place has
been selected tor the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of

are better than can he found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

must have if he is to thrive. Every animal is given

A Dry, Warm Place to Sleep,

No matter how stormy the weather. All Stock under cover when it rains.
VISITORS WELCOME ANY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAY.

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak-
land- The stables are about one mile east of the couDty road, which runs between Oakland and San Lean-
dro. The place to turn oft is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm iB placed. Guide boards
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads are very good, aud they are fairly good
after the unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent from i^an Francisco may be brought over by G=»rcia's Express, No. 3 Market street, San
Francisco. They also have an order box outside of Hawley Bros.' Rardware house on the corner of Market
and Beale streets. The expresB leavps i^an Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at i:3\ but all
orders should be in tbe order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. S Market
street, bv 11 o'clock at the latest In the case of very young or very valuable horses, tbe Souther Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A small cnarge will be
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are very easily taken irom Oakland to the (arm, and where it iB inconvenient for owners to
bring them or send them, the farm will Bend after anything that is to come. On horses that stay three
months or oyer there is no charge for getting or delivering. Where a horse stays a short time the actual
time and expense only is charged to him.

Hors^B can he shipped iiy rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro, Always notify the
Farm sev ral dayB before shipping anythir g, and then men will be on hand to rereive stork on arrival " The
railroad Btation is but two miles from the Souther Farm, and the anent invariablv gives immediate notice
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the nhove farm, but when word is sent to the farm in good season
bv 1-tter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple or hours in the car.

P SBenger triins leave San Francises (from the broud gauga ferry) and First an 1 Broadway, Oakland,
at rrequent intervals during tbe day. 1 here are several trains from San Jose to San Leandro on both tbe
broad and narrow gauee railroads; the bmad gauue, by way of Niles, la much more convenient for get ingto
the tarm. There ore trains each day from Sacramento, Stockton and Li\ermore to San Leandro. In ordi-
nary weather it is a short and pleas-tut drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San Francisco 1o
tbe Farm by way of the Creek route f>rry boat. Always notify the Souther Farm just when you will arrive
tit San Leandro, and some one will meet you at tbe station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance ask
the stage driver, who will point it out.

Write to the above address for references, circulars ami price lists. Ternis
reasonable.

ford Mambrino, dam Columbia by Youn^ Columbus,
he by Coluinbns Woodiord Mambrino'sdamWoodbtne

ford Mambrino is recognized as the best son o£ Mam-

Abbotsford, the sire of Arlington IzWH and his bou
Conue 2:2j),andhehas also a large numiier in the 2:30
ltBt. He is also the sire of Princeps the Bire of Trink-
et, record of 2:14. Abbotaford, for the short time he
lias been in the stnd.has proven himself a sire worthy
ol merit, his daughter Jassemlue having won the Em-
bryo Stakes of 1181, and every one who was put in
training i as shuwn goi'd speed. The dam of Arling-
ton was a beautiful bay mare, 15M hands high, sired

The above pedigree should show every intelligent breeder that Don Marvin is "high" bred though very
strong in trotitng blood. All the comment it is deemed necessary to make as to the value of "th .roughbred
olood" in the trotter is simply to refer to the very significant fact that Lbe first and second dams of Maud &,

AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT.

Peruvian Bitters are made of the
purest ingredients and compounded as
carefully as any prescription.

Peruvian Bark, one of its prin-
cipal ingredients, was introduced
into Spain by the Countess, wife of
Count CINCHON, Spanish Viceroy to Peru
in 1630, who was cured of a fever by its
use, since which time, no better remedy
for Malaria and for Restoring the Natural
Tone of the Stomach has been discovered-

On the Atlantic Coast they are used in
the principal Hotels, Clubs and Res-
taurants, and sold by all Grocers and
Druggists. We have sold them for the past
three years WITHOUT ANY ADVERTISING and
sales have constantly increased UPON
MERIT ALONE, and we unqualifiedly recom-
mend them to our friends and customers.

Petaluma Horses.

BY fiABVEX W PECK,

For many years past Petaluma has been noted as one of
the horse centers of California. When many of the counties
now famous ag homes of celebrated trotters were in an em-
bryotic state as regards the rearing and training of race-
horses and trotters, Petalama enjoyed the reputation of being
a "horsey" town. Long before Santa Clara Valley, San Ma-
teo County, Contra Costa County and the Pleasanton country
were widely known as the home of the trotter, Petaluma was
pegging away at a few trotters of more or lesss speed on the
old half mile track. While other sections have "gone by" the
town in rearing horses of extreme speed, she has progressed
slowly but surely and without doubt there glows within her
aspiriog bosom sweet dreams of the two-minute trotter.

During a recent visit to Petaluma I was taken under the
protecting wing of General Fine, and shown every horse and
colt to be found. General Fine is a hustler as well as a thor-
ough horseman. He is in charge of the grounds and Club
House of the Sonoma and Marin Association, and the excel-
lence of the track at this time of j ear is the best evidence of
the fact that he is the right man in the right place. Upon
his invitation I took lunch at the Club House with him, in
which we were shortly joined by Mr. Shaner and hiB charm-
ing wife. Lunch over, we started to inspect the horses.

The first string were those under Mr. Shaner's supervi-
sion. Mr. Shaner's popularity as a driver is well attested)
when I mention that he has some 25 or 26 horses and colts in
training. The consequence is that he rides many miles in
a day, which every horseman knows is not as funny as it
looks. I looked at so many horses and colts that only a lim-
ited description of them can be given.

Annabelle, chestnut tilly, light mane and tail, by Dawn,
dam a thoroughbred mare by Hubbard, bred by Mr. Pacheco,
owned by Arthur Whitney. Fine lookiDg filly; is now two
years old. Made yearling record of 3:06. Webt an easy
mile the other day in 2:58. Can go quarters fast.

Black colt, one year old, by Dawn, dam Jennie Offut by
Gen. MeClellan. Good looking colt. I am assured is a very
promising colt. Owned by Arthur Whitney.

Oaknut, ch s, by Dawn, dam Miss Brown, by Volunteer son
of Gen. Dana. This horse is a larger pattern of his sire, hav-
ing great Bubstance everywhere. He is 15.3 hands high and
[Weighs 1180 pounds. He is five years old. Last year he
went a mile in 2:32, and quarters in 354 seconds. Barring
accident, he will be heard from this year. He is the property
of W. E. Overholser.

Emma Temple 2:21 was the nest one we saw. She is look-
ing well. As all horsemen are aware, she is the property of
Harry Agnew and is an enduring and good race mare.

Chestnut stud, owned by Harry Agnew, sired by son of
Almont (could not find what one), dam Maud, pacer, 2:20.
This horse 1b a pacer, 15.3 hands high, strong all over, and
san pace a good clip. His dam, Maud, it will be remem-
bered, went through the circuit two or three seasons ago.
He was bred in the Sandwich Islands. (The sire of the horse
here mentioned is Bosworth. — Ed. Breeder and Sportsman.)
Light bay fil!y by Sidney, dam Young Countess, by Sam
Patchen; second dam Countess, the dam of Dawn and Strath.
way. This is a good looking filly, not large, but of consider-
ible finish, and is claimed to have plenty of speed. She is
atered in the two-year-old Btakes. Owned by A. L. Whitney.
Stammoor, black colt, 15 hands high, small strip in face,
loaled 1888, owned by Robert Brown, Petaluma. As his
name indicates, he is a son of Stamboul, dam Moor Maid by
the Moor. He is a fashionably bred youngster, and Bhould
lie prove as good as his pedigree, he should make a race
horse. He is a smooth looking, kindly dispositioned fellow.
He is entered in the District and Fine stakes for two year

m

Tamaraok bay tilly, two years old, sired by Mambrino Jr.,
dam by Belle Alta. This filly was purchased from her
breeder, Mr. Jas. Wisecarver, of GeyBerville, by Mr. Thomas
Donohua, of Litton Springs. She is entered in the Fine
Stake, I believe.

Light bay filly Bired by Anteeo, dam by Nutwood. Owned
by Lot Slocum, of San Francisco. A good looking and racy
appearing youngster, now three years old.

Two year old filly by Junio 2:22, dam by Sultan. If she
does not belie her breeding, she will trot some.

Yearling colt by Dawn, dam. by Geo. Booth. A very good
colt.

In the nest stall was Mr. Shaner's two-year-old colt by
Sidney. This is a small unprepossessing looking chap, but he
makes up in speed what he lacks in appearance. He is a
pacer and was very fast as a yearling. In truth, I was going
to give away the fact that this colt as a yearling could make
Lot Slocum brnsh a couple of hundred yards at hiB best rate,
but I won't tell it without consulting Mr. Shaner.

Mr. Shaner has a yearling filly by Sidney, dam by Vick's
Ethan Alien, that is speedy and good looking.

Clara Z., grey mare, foaled 18S5, sired by Capri, dam by A,
W. Richmond. This mare was bred by Mr. Zane, of Healds-
burg, and recently sold by him to Mr. Shaner. She is a
good looking mare, has been one of the improving kind, go-
ing a mile a3 a yearling in 3:05, and having sufficient speed
last year to beat 2:30.

Two-year-old filly Donis by Dawn, dam by Don Juan, sec-
ond dam by Roadhouse's St. Lawrence. This is a grand
poking colt, fine size, speedy conformation, good disposition
and will make a trotter. In my estimation she is among the
best of the Dawn's. She is entered in the Fine Stake.

Warde, g c, two years, sired by Capri, dam by Belle Alta
Jr. This is a good looking, good going colt, with considera.
ble speed for his opportunities. He is entered in the Fine
Stake.

Mr. J. B. Hinkle has a good looking colt in Whaler by
Whalebone, dam by Gen. MeClellan. This colt I under-
stand is jointly owned by Mr. Hinkle and Mr. Edwards, of
Penn's Grove. He is entered in the two year old stake.

Mr. Hinkle has a running mare he thinks well of. She
was sired by Boots, dam Disie Maid by Woodbarn, second
dam Disie by Kentucky Whip. She is five years old; will
weigh about 1000 pounds; is a mare of good appearance, with
lots of driving power. Mr. Hinkle says she can go a quarter
fast enough to satisfy anybody for a "short horse," while
she can maintain a high rate over a distance. Here is a
chance for some one desiring a euro thing to cam-
paign through "the bushes," and she can be bought at a
reasonable figure.

The following are in charge of Mr. Burrell: Roan filly,
one year old, sired by Dawn, dam by Nameless. Just broken.
Belongs to Dr. Proctor.

Chestnut mare, 6even years, sired by Elector 2:2R, dam by
Venture 2:27. This is a grand looking mare, large, well
shaped, fine coat of hair, combined with good disposition
and level head in herwurk. She has been driven on the road
by her owner, Mr. Asa Higgins, until recently. She can trot
quarters better than a 2:40 gait with short work.

Bay mare, sired by Auctioneer Johnny (may the devil fly
away with the man who evolved that name) a sou of Geo. M.
Patchen Jr., dam by Williamson's Belmont. This is a pro-
mising mare, with a lot of speed for the chance she has had.
Owned by Mr.Borrill.

Yearling colt by Anteeo, dam by Alexander. This young-
ster is black and as large as any ordinary two-year-old. He
has just been broken. He belongs to Robert Crane of Peta-
luma.

Yearling tilly, black, small, sired by Abbotsford, dam by
Rustic, grandam by Novato Chief. She is owned by Senator
F. C. he Long, of Novato. Her education haa jaat begun.

I nest visited Mr. Fine's stable, containing Poco Tempo,
Captor, Capri, and Examiner.

Poco Tempo is a brown stud sired by Anteeo, dam by Joe
Daniels, grandam by The Moor. He is 154 bands high, and
will weigh I jadge something over 1000 pounds. He went a
mile laBt year in 2:*04, and that with being "worked out"
but four times. His best previous performance was 2:56t
Gtn Fine thinks that poco tempo he will beat 2:30 and I think
he will.

Capri is a grey stallion, sired by Jim Lick, dam by Wil-
liamson's Belmont. He is about 15£ hands, and weighs I
believe 1050 poundB. He is the sire of Clara Z. two-year-old
record 2:45 and Captor, three-year-old record 2:34. He is
owned by Mr. Zane and is making the season at Petalnma in
charge of Gen. Fine.

Captor, grey colt, four years old, Bired by Capri, dam by A.
W.Richmond. As Btated above this colt acquired a three,
year-old record of 2:34. He belongs to Mr. Zane and is in
he hands of Gen. Fine for the coming season.

Examiner, chestnut colt, sired by Dawn, dam Vashli, 2:324
by Chieftan. This colt, although undersized as a yearling,
has developed into a good-sized, nice looking two-j ear-old. He
is considered a very promising colt by those acquainted with
his merits. He is owned by Gen. Fine and is entered in
two stakes.

Theie are a couple of bay geldings quartered at the track,
sired by Alexander. One belongs to Mr. Higgins, while I
coold not ascertain the owner of the other. They both have
Borne speed.

In company with Gen. Fine, I drove to the stables in town.
The first place we stopped was at the barn occupied by Mr.
J. R. Rose's horses that are under the supervision of W. J.
Frost. The string contains the following:

Rosie R., brown mare, foaled 1887, 15$ hands high, weighs
about 975 pounds — perhaps a little more; sired by Gen. Me-
Clellan Jr., dam Susie Rose by Sam MeClellan. As the above
pedigree shows, she is full siBter to Nellie R, 2:174. Rosie
is a nicely turned mare; has just been broken, and shows a
nice way of going.

Minnie R., brown mare, 15$ handB high, weighs 1,1Q0>
sired by Gen. McCItllan Jr., dam by Ulster Chief, son of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian. This is a fine appearing mare,
resembling Rosie very closely in color and conformation.
She trotted a mile last year in 2:332, and quarters in 35J sec.
onds. She will be worked this year, and Mr. Frost thinks
well of her.

HernaDci, light roan filly, foaled 18S6, 15.24 hands high,
weighs about 1050 pounds; sired by Hernani, son of Elec.
tioneer, dam by Gen. MeClellan; 2d dam Fan (dam of Sweet-
brier, paciLg, 2:264). This mare Sweetbrier, it is 6aid,
acquired a record of 2:234 in the East, while doing the cir-
cuit under the name of Lamplighter. 1 can find neither of
these performances, but the roan filly is quite a trotter never-
theless. Considerable is expected of her the coming season
by Mr. Frost.

Black colt, foaled IS88, eired by Alcona Jr., dam Kittie D.
by Alexander; 2d dam Shoo Fly by Gtn. MeClellan This
colt was bick for a long time, but is now rounding to, and I
do not think will disgrace his sire when he gels ready to
start.

From Mr. Frost's stable we drove to Mr. O'Reilly's, near
the depot. Mr. O'Reilly is a lover of a good horse. Away
back in the dim and dusty past, he raised or purchat-ed, I
have forgotten which, a mare called Emma Taylor. Bired by
Alexander. From this mare Mr. O'Reilly has a string of
young horses that any man would like to own.

He first bred the mare to AMeeo and got Annetto, a bay
mare weighing about 975. She was foaled in 1885 I think,
and got a record of 2:39^, in a matinee race. Could hav
gone quite a little faster.

362

Jfeje gSuejefe awd Byoxtsmnn.

April 26

He returned the mare to Anteeo and raised Alto, a dark
brown horse, about 15J hands, that would weigh in the
neighborhood of 1,000 pounds. Alto is a fine looter, and has
plenty of Bpeed. His trainer told me that he drove Alto,
■when a yearling, a quarter in 40 seconds. He is now in the
stud.

Mr. O'Reilly's nest venture wbb to breed his mare to Ante-
volo, the result being a bay filly, with a strip in her face.
She has received no particular attention.

Emma Taylor was nest bred to Dawn, and in 1S88 pro-
duced a colt by him. This colt is now a sort of dapple
brown, fine size, well made, and with a chance should make
a trotter. He is Bimply broken to drive.

In 1859 the mare bad a colt by Secretary. I did not see it,
bnt it is a good colt I am told.
This present season the mare has been again bred to Dawn.
From Mr. O'Reilly's we again drove up town. Mr. Mizuer
showed us a stallion in his charge. This horse is called
Dauntless. He is a bright bay, 15.3£, and would weigh
about 1050 pounds. He differs materially in appearance and
make up from the majority of his sire produce. This must
be accounted for by the influence of his dam, Miss Spiers,
(dam of Mattie P. 2:31), by Tom Eyer, Jr. He is a good look-
ing, well disposed stud, and although receiving as yet very
little training, Dan thinks well of his future.

Dawn we found stabled at Mr. Whitney's place in town.
Any extended description of him by me is unnecessary as ev-
ery well informed horseman knows that he is a highly bred
courageous racehorse, with speed beyond his record. Bar-
ring unusual accident, Dawn will have some representatives
in the 2:30 list this year.

I took a flying glance at A. P. Patehen, a big ton of Alex-
ander and Gazelle by General McClellan, second dam Jenny
Shepherd (dam of Flora Shepherd 2:30 and Nellie Patehen
2:27}} by Belmont {Williamson's). This horse is a light bay,
16 3, and weighs 1300 pounds. He is a stylish going horse,
with good mane and tail.

Mr. Fraiser's horse Secretary is kept at his ranch in Chel-
anay Valley. He is now 16 hands high and will weigh about
1100 pounds. He is a large sized representative of his sire.
He differs from him in some respects, to be sure, yet the
resemblance is very strong. Secretary was sired by Director,
dam by Volunteer (Goldsmith's). It is my humble convic-
tion that a better colt than Secretary never heard the bell
ring. He trotted as a yearling at Petalnma, and at the finish
he and George V. by Sidney were the contesting colts, Sec-
retary haviDg thirty yards the best of it when clcse to the
wire. He made a bad break and before he recovered George
V. went by and beat him under the wire. As a two-year-
old Secretary was taken to the Pleasanton track, and there
received too many quarters in 34 and 34£ seconds. Mr. Fraie-
6er says he is right now and expects to train him this coming
Beason. If he stands work he will go down to a low mark,
as he naturally is very speedy.

I looked in on Jackson Temple, sire of Emma Tewple 2:21
and Mattie P. 2:31. Temple is a dark bay horse, weighing
about 1150. He is a son of George M. Patehen Jr., and haB
a record of 2.38J. His daughter Emma is certainly about as
conscientious and clever a lace mare, up to her speed, as ev-
er looked throngh a bridle.

Inside the track, busily at work on the rich grass, was
Lot Slocnm, 2:17£ and Chapman, the pacer, 2:22. They
are looking rugged and strong. As the horses and colts went
by they would raise their heads and look intently at them,
and then suddenly drop them again, evidently thinking what
an amount of drilling the youngsters would have to go
through before their speed equaled their own. Chapman is
said to be able to time a horse a quarter, with great accuracy.
I hardly believe this although Gen. Fine vouches for it.

After a handshake with Dr.Maclayand several other horse-
men. I entered the 'bus for the train, thoroughly impressed
with the good fellowship of Petaluma horsemen and the con-
viction that Petalnma streets are the moat devilish upon
earth.

Fallibility of Trainers.

Suspensions and Expulsions.

We have received from M. M. Morse, Secretary of the
National Trotting Association, the "Blue Bjok" compiled to
and including January 1, 1S90. The work contains a full
list of all persons under suspension, or those who have been
expelled, and remain penalized to the date mentioned. The
list has been sent to the vaiious secretaries of all tracks who
have membership in the association, and it iB to be presumed
that those whose names are in the "Bine Book" will not be
allowed to start unless the penalties are rescinded. The
American Association recognizes the suspensions and expul-
sions of the National, so that the black-listed oneB stand little
show to trot horses unless the matter is arranged before the
season opens. The list of Californian names is rather an
extended one, and is here given in foil, bo that tbe parties
interested may take the necessary steps to restore themselves
to "good standing:"

Noah Armstrong, owner of Spokane, tells a story illustra-
ting tbe fallibility of trainers as authorities on racing form
which we find in the Horseman: Said he: "I once bad a
trainer whose hindsight was a blank sight better than his
foresight, One day at Latonia my horse Gray Cloud was to
run for a stake against Mona, Kaloolah, Ed Corrigan and
King Robin. I asked my trainer in the morning what he
thought of onr chances, and he said; 'Mr. Armstrong, we
ain't in it; we won't be brst, second or third. Mona will win
it and Kaloolah will run Becond. Don't bet connterfeit
money on our horse.' I went down to tbe betting ring when
they began to sell the auction pools, and found fellows fall-
ing over each other to buy Mona and Kaloolah. Each sold
for about $150, and King Robin had plenty of backers at
9100, but nobody wanted to buy pools on Ed Corrigan or my
hor^e. Gray Cloud; so when the auctioneer put the two to-
gether in the field, and the boys began to chaff me about
Montana's bringing up the rear, I bought the field, paying
$30 for the two horBes against about $400 on the other three.
I bought the field in every pool but one that was soli on the
race, and then took a stroll around tbe ring and backed Gray
Cloud for a place. He won it — won it easy, and Ed Corrigan
oame second. Right after tbe race my trainer came up and
said; 'Did you put a crimp in the bookmakers, Mr. Arm-
strong?' 'Ob, no,' I said, 'I only bet a few soiled and torn
small billy.* 'That's too bad,* said he, 'you Bhould have won
a fortune on that race. I don't see how you missed it. You
didn't suppose those skates could beat our horse, did you?"

Last Day of the P- O. B. H. A. Spring Meet-
ing.

Last Saturday was ushered in by heavy clouds and from
all indications rain would surely spoil the afternoon's sport.
However, on the evening previous the Directors, at a meet-
1ng, decided to have the programme run off, rain or shine,
bo the regular race goers turned their facss trackwards, ini.
mediately after luncheon. ■ About noontime the clouds dis-
persed and the beautiful day tempted many to visit the Bay
District, who would have Btayed away, if the weather had
still looked threatening. The Association bad prepared an
! excellent card, there being five events to decide, all of which
were well filled, and the promise of good sport seemed excellent.
! The carriage paddock presented a handsome appearance, the
• tarn outs being numerous and pleasing lo the eye, while the
! ladies' stand was nicely tilled, the spring dresses, with their
! variegated hues, lending a charm to the scene that can only
be appreciated by those who were present. The betting was
fully up to what had been done on other days, and now that
the racing is all over, it may not be out of place to tell the
public that the bookmakers lost heavily. It seems to be the
usual custom for all reporters, especially on the daily press,
.to state that "the bookmakers won on the day," but at the late
meetiag, we can safely say that the fraternity were all on the
wrong side of the ledger when the racing terminated.

The first race of the day was for two-year-olds, the sensa-
tional Homer and the grand young filly Fairy, not being
among those to start, caused the betting public to fancy the
chances of the Falo Alto representative, Rinfax, the second
choice being Col. Harry I. Thornton's pair, Arcade and Cime-
ter, while the field consisted of Sir Walter, who carried the
colors of the Elmwood Stable, and Sinfax one of Mr. Rose's
castoffs, that gentlemen having leased the running qualities
of the colt to Cy Mnlkey. There used to be an old saying
! ;'a Vandal for the mud," but from the outcome of Saturday's
work, Californians are apt to change the quotation to "a
Wildidle for the mud," as three of the events were won by
the get of that game son of imp Australian, while for the
fourth event on the card, another "Wildidle was beaten only a
very short length. The track was a muddy one in the strict
sense of the word, the backstretch being more lika a dnck
pond than a race course As on the previous day Mr. Win.
Coombs occupied the position of starter and upheld his
previous high reputation in that respect. The judges of the
iday were Messrs. Ramsdell, Guntz and Anderson, and the
[ 'time made was recorded by Messrs. Carroll, Smith and Sulli-
,van. The youngsters made several ineffectual attempts to
i get away, the rider of the favorite, having determined that
'his mount should be in stride before the horses got off and
he was successful a* he accomplished his object.

The flag fell to a very even start, the nose of Rinfax show-
ing first in front, Sinfax second, and as they got squared
; away Sir Walter was third, Cimeter fourth, and the chestnut
oolt Arcade a bad last. The contest quickly resolved itself
into a duel between the two ''faxes," the Palo Alto repre-
sentative cutting out the pace, but Sinfax would not be shak-
en off, Dennison on the Mnlkey entry keeping shoulder to
; Bhoulder with Rinfax. Coming into the homestretch Denni-
Bon tried to keep to the extreme outside of the track, but
| Narvaez was possessed of the same desire, fouling Sinfax
| quite perceptably. Dennison stuck to his work, and by the
\, sheer gameness of his horse won a grand race by three-quar-
ters of a length. Time, 1:13}. Considering the state of the
I 'track, the time made was excellent, and the finish by both
colts waB of the highest order and thoroughly enjoyed by the
spectators.

SUMMARY.
Purse S350, of which $50 to the second horse, a handicap for two-
' year-olds; entrance free for starters. Declarations 55 to go to the rac-
ing fund, Eleven-sixteenths of a mile.

The "Shortenders" were naturally jubilant over the result
I of the first race, and did not hesitate to invest liberally on
the Belling Tace which was next in order on the programme.
: There was plenty of time to get in all the money necessary
as two of the horses acted very unruly at the post and de-
layed the start for a long time, Steve Stroud being particu-
larly Btubborn and ill natured. The jockeys were also in-
clined to do as they pleased, so much so in fact that Starter
Coombs set eleven of them down for fifteen days each, the
only one to escape punishment being Casey, the rider of Tom
Daly. This is unfortunate for many of the lads, as the time
covers the Sacramento meeting. At last the field was Bent
away to a straggling start, Eildare, Tom Daly and Rose
Meade showing first to the front. Ladi Ali came with a good
burst of speed, and at the half was leading by two lengths,
with the other three bunched and tbe field strung out, Adam
, bringing up the rear. On the turn Kildare fell back beaten,
I Ali being taken away on the outside, while Rosebug was
kept next to tbe rails where the going was the heaviest. Mag-
gie B. at the three-quarters came up gamely, but she also quit
in the stretch when near tbe drawgate. Tom Daly was taken
to the outside together with Kildare, Ida Glenn coming down
tbe middle of tbe track. The mud told on Glenn and her
chance was gone at the upper end of the Grand Stand.

At the draw gate Rosemeade was still in the heavy going
and perfectly fresh, he finishing as he pleased in 1:22, Tom
Daly second by a head from Kildare, the remainder strung
out for a distance of fifty yards or more.

SUMMARY.

Selling purs'* $350, of which $50 to second; for all ages. Horses en-

Again were the field purchasers happy, but by this time
those who allow no point to escape had noticed that two
Wildidles had won, therefore there was a little rush to back
Raindrop and Fannie F for the next race. There are those,
however, that want stable tips, and play no other, and royally
were this class cinched on the third race, as according to all
the rubbers and stable boyB, Captain Al would win in a
walk, "there was nothing else in it." To the close observer,
Raindrop was in the best of condition, and so was also Cap-
tain Al, but the Wildidle blood was there to back np the ex-
quisite form, and money went in very freely on "Billy" Ap-
pleby's neatly turned Ally. The Sacramento division had a
fancy for Sheridan, so Phil Siebenthaler's Joe Hooker colt
also carried a small pot of money, his rnnniug in the races
of the previous days fully warranting the strong belief that he
could beat the field he had to contend against. There was
not much time wasted in breakaways, and the flag soon fell
to a good start, the favorite, Captain Al, showing in front, as
the seven passed the stand. Madden on Kiro at once set sail
for the leader, and as they ronnded into the first turn was
flanking Captain Al. At this point Fannie F stumbled and
fell, throwing her rider, Ross, the boy afterwards claiming
that he was fouled. The balanc kept on their journey, Kiro
and Captain Al fighting every inch from the quarter pole to
the upper turn, the others evidently waiting for them to tire
themselves out. At the three quarters Captain Al fell back
beaten, the running now being taken np by Coloma and
Raindrop, the latter soon passing Kiro and winning in a
handsom* gallop by at least three lengths, Coloma gaining
second place by a length from Kiro.

SUMMARY.
Purse $400, of which $50 to second, $25 to third; for three-year-olds
and upwards. Winners of any race at this distance or more at this
meeting when carrying weight for age or more, to carry five pounds
extra; of two such races, eight pounds extra. Horses beaten at this

An owner's handicap is at the best but a poor guessing
affair, no one being able to draw a line on the runners, and
more especially when the mud has also to be made one of the
quantities in calculating the probable result. Light weights
rule, and even stables are nonplussed at times, how to lay
the money when there are more than one starter carrying the
same colors. This was aptly illustrated on Saturday, the
Hearst contingent feeling positive that Gertrude could beat
Baggage with the light weight, and they played the Austra-
lian mare accordingly, but Baggage proved the victor after a
peculiar run race. Eight horses sported silk, the distance
being a mile and a sixteenth; Pliny, from the Kelly & Sam-
uels' stable, owing to his light weight, was selected by the
talent to win, but hewas notin the hunt. The Hearst stable
was second choice, with Carmen a close third, in fact before
the flag fell, Pliny receeded to third choice in the books.
When Starter Ccombs got them away, Pliny and Leland
started out to make the pace, with Gertrude as a fast com-
petitor. On reaching the backstretch, the three were making
a show of the field, but gradually the Australian fell back,
and in the turn Pliny turned faint-hearted, allowing Carmen
to pass him. Coming down the stretch, Ltland threw up his

The final event was the longest race of tbe meeting, the dis-
tance being a mile and five-eighths, and the ones to face the
flag were Sacramento, Ed McGinnis, Hotspur and Faustine.
The bookmakers made this race "an air tight" for although
there were four starters the highest odds oo any one, was 3
to 1. Sacramento, the Hearst entry, was tipped as tbe sure
winner, but what it was on gracioUB only knows, for he made
a most miserable exhibition of himself calling down on his
head the onraes of hia ardent supporters. The McGinnis
backers were rather dubious as to the result of the heavy

weight, causing them to fear a defeat. Of the four, Hotspur
looked the most fitting for a hard race, and on his appearance
was backed quite extensively for place, he justifying the fond
hopes of his admirers. There is but little description required
of the race. Hotspur was first away, with the Palo Alto
mare second, McGinnis third and the favorite last. From
the start the race was virtually between Hotspur and the
"Irishman," the former leading to the middle of the home-
stretch where McGinnis came away and won as he pleased in
3:04, Faustine third, and Sacramento away off.

Our Lakeport Letter.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— With the return of
pleasant weather, horses and horsemen are shaking off the
lethargy of winter and are preparing, lite the nimble bee,
for immediate action.

Onr horse breeeders are becoming more and more alive to
the imperative necessity of good blood. For blood is what
counts. Auctioneers want it, racing interests demand it,
breeders will have it, and the general public won't do without
it. Blood it is that trots, runs, endures and wins. Blood
is speed, beauty, intelligence. Yon can raise it easier, keep
it cheaper, and sell it higher than the ordinary common
sort, and so it pays. In short, blood is the all essential
requisite for the successful breeding of good horseB for
any purpose. It is true that the raising of exceptionally
fast horses is a lottery, but the chaoces against yon are great-
ly diminished by jodioions and careful breeding. Therefore,
the motto of every horse breeder should be "Get the Best "

Bert Rodman, owner of Advocate (bv Attorney he bv
Harold) has bred his mare "Nellie Turner" a near relative of
Geo. Washington 2:30 to Starrs Anteeo colt, dam Count-
ess.

J. W. Boggs, bay Btallion Daniel Deronda by Black Ralph
dam Bessie B by Milton Medium is in the stud, and deserves
a liberal patronage.

Hildebrande & Kelling, proprietors of Alwood Stock Farm
have secured the services of Mr. Traoy as trainer for the en-
suing season. Their horse Alwood is a well bred youngster
and will be sent for a record this year. In addition they
have several promising colts that are to compete for stakes
this fall.

"Jim" Corcoran has come to make his home with us and
will train for Hon. R. J. Hudson, ex-Sheriff Boggs and oth-
ers. We extend to him a hearty welcome, and feel assured of
his success.

Judge Hudson has an Anteeo filly, which, as a 2-year, old
trotted in 3:14 on a half mile track at Ukiah, without a mur-
mur. The same gentleman also has a yearling bv Anteeo
out of a Milton Medium mare, which should be "a "hum-
mer."

"Lil" Boggs claims the champion high jumping colt. He
has a yearling by Advocate which cleared a fence 6 feet 2
inches high, with 6 inches to spare. How is that for a skv"
scraper? 3

We stopped in this week to see the stallion colt Anti-C by
Anteeo 2:16J, dam Conntess (dam ol Dawn 2:18} Strathway
3-year-old, 2:26, etc). He is a beautiful bay, verging into
black on the legs, of superb conformation having a well
turned barrel, strong loin, well set shoulders', sound feet and
legs and the typical Electioneer head. He is undoubtedly a
good one, and Mr. Starr is to be congratulated in being his
fortunate possessor. "X"

Bad Shoeing Eeeponsible.

Nine times out of ten faulty shoeing is responsible for
lameness. Colts are born with perfect feet. Nature intended
them to run on the ground constantly, and if they did their
hoofs would wear away evenly, but instead they are kept in-
doorB five months of the year, the hoofs become long and
break off in pieces from time to time. If a considerable
piece breaks off at the Bide the foot runs over, like an old
boot, and tbe colt acquires the habit of walking partially
on 0U9 side of the foot, which is very difficult To remedy.
Sometimes both sides break off, leaving the toe unnaturally
long, thus throwing more weight on the heels, oansing them
to wear away faster than they should. This produces flat
feet. Tbe uneven breaking off of the hoofs before the ani-
mal matures causes most of the imperfections in the feet of
the horse, with resultant ringbones spavins, curbo and other
ailments.

When a horse with a bad foot comes to be shod, it runs
over at the side, it should be leveled up gradually at several
succeeding shoeings by making the shoe thicker at one side
and parting down the hoof a little the more on the opposite
Bide. If the feet are flat the heels should be let alone and
the toes cut as far back as it will answer at every shoeing
The shoe should never bear on the sole of the foot, but on
the wall alone. If the sole is low dowu and presents a con-
vex surface, as is oft=>n the oase, the Bhoe should be made
either concave, to match, or very Darrow to fit only on the
horny shell. If the animal has contracted feet the heels
should be cut away all it will do, as well as the horn, on the
bottom of the foot, and the shoes should be beveled out from
the quarters back, that the feet may have a leodency to
spread. If the animal has ringbone or any stiffness in the
joints the toeB should be cut back. This rule applies to cases
of spavin, thoroughpin, curbs, etc. Bad feet in horses are
generally traceable to inattention of man.

The feet of colts should be attended to once in three
months, from the time they are first stabled in the fall, un-
til they reach maturity, and then permanently good feet will
be assured. If agricultural societies would employ a skill-
ful man to shoe borses at their fairsand give illustrative lec-
tures, they would accomplish more good than they do now
by some of their transactions.

No well regulated ranch or farm is oouiplete without Dar-
bys Prophylactic Fluid.

Rub your horses with Darbys Fluid forswellingorstifrne=r
of the joints.

L J. Davies, the owner of Roy Wilkes, returned from
Monterey last Tuesday night, and left on Wednesday morn-
ing for Chicago via Los Angeles and San Diego.

The latest fashion among the gentler sex who visit Eastern

are finding the Bure thing and investing the money.

The Senate at Albany on the loth passed Mr. Deane'a bill,
which extends the Ives poll tax of 5 per cent, to the gross

Gertie McCarty, by imp. Hurrah or Duke of Magenta, out of
La Gloria, foaled a grand-looking filly by C. H. Todd or imp.
Oa'cake. Dan says there is no doubt it is a Todd, and calls
it Todd's Only.

The reports tbas far from Kentucky and Tennessee make
no mention of any damage to valuable tbronghbreds or trot-
ters, and it is to be hoped that the race tracks and stock farms
escaped the cyclone.

Je§9 Armstrong a three year old by imp. Glengarry out
of Myrtle has been reeling off halves at astonishing rate in
fata work at Memphis and his owners think they have anoth-
er Stuyvesant in him.

John McCarty did not go East with the Santa Anita Stable,
as thesboeing-smith, having received an ofler from Palo Alto,
nnd White Hat's brother is now displaying his skill on Sena-
tor Stanford's well equipped ranch.

Sinfax, the Wildidle— Fostrese two year old, who beat
Rinfaxinlhe handicap for twc-year-olds last Saturday, is the
property of L. J. Rose who had teased him to Cy. Mulkey.
The colt is entered in several races in Oregon.

After the success of the Wildidles in the slippery going
last Saturday, Mr. Van GoHen decided te send imported Gei-
Irude to W7ifdidle instead of taking her East. The mare is
exceptionally racy looking and should pick up a race this
fall.

W, H. E. Smith hope3 to make arrangements to take Long-
shot East with Al Farrow, and will probably purchase Mr.
Boots' two year old Duke of Milpitas by Duke of Norfolk out
of Gipsy by imported Hercales. The Duke haB Beveral valu-
able engagements in the East.

I am told that one of the best stables in Eogland this year
will be John Porter'B. His horses are backward just now,
but they are an even lot, and it is expected the master of
Kingsclere will pick np some good prizes before the Man-
chester November Handicap is once more decided.

It is becoming quite fashionable to breed mares in the
spring and race them until well into the fall. Already Fsus-
tine has been stintedto Argyle, Ida Glenn to Prince of Nor-
folk, Lurline to imported Cheviot, while Welcome will be
sent to the Prince of Norfolk when in Sacramento.

An English exchange says: Our racs-course officials are far
too honorable to delay any event in the interests of Tatter-
sail's ring; but if we get many more petty delays, there will
be found no end of people ready to hint that these were
caused so that more time for betting might accrue.

We understand that Major H. C. McDowell has refused Bn
offer of §700 an acre for Ashland, says the Lexington Daily
Press. He not only declined this offer, but refused to name
a price at whiob he will sell. Mr. A. Smith McCann was
offered $25,000 bonus on his purchase of Fairlawn.

Judge A. S. Green's Linwood mare Linda has proved bar-
ren to Sidney, and therefore her entry is void in the Breeder
and Sportsman Futurity Stake. The Judge still has an en-
try, though, which should prove dangerous, viz., Bessie
Howard by Whipple's Hambletonian, in foal to Simmocolon.

Burns McGregor, a promising young trotter, with a record
of 2:29 as a two year old, and the most promising of the get
of Robert McGregor, is dead from an attack of pneumonia.
He was three years old, and his dam was Birdie J., by Yonng
Jim. He was owned by E. S. Muirs of Lexington, Ky., and
could readily have been 6old for $10,000.

Horse nomenclature seems to be falling away, 'and it is
very seldom one sees an aptly named colt, but I notice that
on the 16th, at Elizabeth, in a two-year-old rac% the Messrs.
Morris' Terrifier beat Pestilence and others in a two year old
scramble. Terrifier is by Alirm out of Bonella, while Pesti-
lence is by Wanderer out of Quarantine.

Col. H. I. Thornton received one of John Mackey's ex-
pressive telegrams on Wednesday evening. It read: Brown
colt all right; and meant that the Colonel's favorite mare
Carrie C had foaled a brown colt by imported Darebin. Ab
Carrie C has already thrown two good racehorBOB in Sobrante
and Sonoma, this colt should be a clinker.

Orrin Hickok will leave for Terre Haute on the first day of
May with Adonis 2:14, the Wilkes — Lucy pacer, Monterey
& four-year-old stallion by Electioneer— Minx and Prince
Warwick a stallion by Alcona, Possibly Arol 2:24$;. and
several of the Palo Alto horses will go east to be campaigned
by Hickok. Edwin C 2:15, and Roy Wilkes will go on the
same car.

Sam Bryant thinks more attention should be paid to
breeding jockiea He says the cross should be Bire Irish,
dam English, grandam Jew, and explains it by saying Irish
for pluck to go thioagh, Euglish to 6tay, and Jew for cun-
ning. All the dare devil riders are Irish, the English are
bull dogs for hanging on and Providence favoiB the Jews.

Eoglish bettors are getting tired of following the military,
and an exchange Bays: Many officers fancy because they can
Bit a charger on parade they are, therefore, good jockeys, but
the form displayed in race riding by some of them is simply
ludicrous. They often lose their seats and more often their
heads, the resolt being tantalizing in the extreme to poor
backers.

Louis Whiting has a good claim to the championship as
the veteran Judges' stand attendant. For 35 years he has
been round the circuit and at the various meetings. At the
State Fair, he has held his position for 27 years without any
interruption which speaks volumes for bis integrity and up-
rightness. This year he was in bis old position at San Jose,
The Blood Horse and Sacramento.

Rico, who is L. J. Rose's entry forthe Brooklyn and Sub-
urban got out of his stable at the Bay District track last Friday
night (a week ago yesterday) and was found the nextmorning
Beveral miles away, tied to a lamp post. It had been raining all
night and besides that the oolt had badly skinned his legs,
fortunately he was not seriously injured. Mr. Rose will
probably in future employ a night watchman.

A prominent San Franciscan has received an intimation
from The Thompson brothers, the wealthy Australian book-
makers, that they will take $100,000 of stock, if the rest of
the money can be raised to build a track on the best possible
lineB. The intention is to have a lawn for the ladies to prom-
enade on aud every other accomodation and luxury that is
to be found at Saratoga, Ascot, or the Australian tracks.

The last of old Maggie B. B.'s (dam of Iroquois, Harold,
Panique, Pera, Francesca, Jaconet and Homeopathy) will be
offered for sale among the Erdenheim yearlings on May 17th.
He is a slashing chestnut colt by imported Woodlands, sire
of Cracksman and other speedy horses and should run as
well as half brothers and sisters, the most celebrated of whom
was Iroquois, the winner of the English Derby and St. Leger
in 1831.

Edwin F. Smith the popular secretary of the State Fair As-
sociation oocupied a seat in the timers stand at the Blood
Horse ineetiog. His young son was in the members enclos-
ure, the youngster seemed to take great interest in rasing.
His pride at present ib that he was the first to throw a It g
over the now celebrated Emperor of Norfolk, being put on
his back by Mr. Winters when the bay wonder was only a
yearling.

Mr. William Hamlin, acting for a syndicate, purchased at
public auction on Friday, April lltb, the property of the
Buffalo International Fair Association, paying for it $207,-
522.12. The Fair Association will now be reorganized, and
the August races will be given as heretofore. The chances
are against a fair being held this fall, but next year an exhi-
bition can be given which will command the attention of the
whole country.

A stockholders' meeting of the Philadelphia Driving Park
Association was held at the club bouse on the Point Breeze
track on the 15th. The meeting was called for the
pnrpoBe of allotting the private box stalls for the coming
season, and tbere was a large attendance of members. The
bidding for the choice stalls was spirited, and the total amount
realized from them was $1,326.50— about 25 per cent, more
than they sold for last year.

Robert A. Pinkerton, the famous, shrewd and efficient de-
tective of the Pmkerton Detective Agency, returned to New
York from Hot Springs oa April 10th, looking in the
best of health. He will have charge of the secret police at
the Westchester, Brooklyn, New Jersey and the Coney Island
Jockey Club race tracks during the approaching racing sea-
son, and will look after the interest of the Association and
the public in his usual watchful way.

Little Charlie Dennison received a round of applause from
the fielders when he landed game eld Dave Doug as, an easy
winner in the repeat and on the last day when with Sinfax
he beat Palo Alto's crack Rinfax by half a length, after ft
bumping finish he was again vociferously cheered. Old
Dan is bringing bis boys up in good shape. They are qniet,
civil and neat, good riders and have a brilliant future before
them, if Dan does not overfeed them.

At Woodsburg, L. I., a few weeks ago, several parties were
brought before the court on a charge of dockiog ponies tails.
The principal defendant pleaded guilty of performing the
operation on twenty ponies, which were intended for polo
purposes, and claimed ignorance of the law. The judge took
a different view of it, and fined the operator $50 or twenty
days, and each of Mb assistants $40 each. This was the first
case of the kind in that section under the new law.

Scott Quinton, who handled the crack pacer Yolo Maid
and the rest of Mr. Daly's string last 5 ear, is getting together
a stable of horses at his home, Trenton. New Jersey. Among
his purchases are a chestnut colt (brother to Silverone), two
years, by Alcyone, dam Silver L^ck by Mambnuo Time* a
hay cult, three years old, by Red Wilke-', dam by Marubrioo
Pet, and the bay colt, ye*rliog, by Red Wilkes, dam by Nut-
wood. The three were bought of John E. Madden, Lexing-
ton, Ky.

One of the bargains at the recent Pain Alto Bale in New
York was the five year-old hay stallion Pomona, which was
bought by A J. Welch of Hartford, Conn., for 53,000. He
has since sold him at a good advance to Charles F. Forbes, of
New York, who will have him trained for a fast record.
Pomona is by Electioneer, dam Pearl by George Lancaster;
second dam Melinche (Ham of Fred Crocker 2:25£, at two
years of age) bv St Clair, sire of the dams of Wilddowtr 2:21,
Manzanita 2:16 and Bonita 2;13£.

Eugene Leigh, the well known trainer of race horses, has
broken the good performers Lucy Johnson and Florence E.
to work in harness, and they can make a buggy sp'n on th«
road. It is bis intention to train the last named filly, butil
she does not Bhow up well she will be bred to Electioneer if
he can get a season to the big horse. Lucy Johnson will
also be bred to a trotting stallion. As both mares have won
many races on the running tnrf, their career a3 trotting mat-
rons will be watched with interest.

The Prince — not the Dake of Norfolk — was the horse re-
ferred to a couple of weeks ago as haying some very prom-
ising colts. One of them Miuoie B with the worst of the
start ran an exceptionally good race In the California Stakes.
The Prince has a chance second to none in the state tbis
year as he already has booked to him among others Laura
Gardner, Ida Glenn. The Adams' mare, Ballmette — the dam
of Alta. Welcome. Delia Walker — Al Farrow's dam, Lizzie
Idle — the dam of Minnie B, Frankie Devine, Fusillades'
Last and Why Not (Three Cheers— Nellie Collier.)

A meeting of the Board of Directors of the Nevada State
Board of Agriculture was held last week. President Gould
presiding, and Directors Martin, Fliot, Mulcahy, Bailej and
Powning being present. The premium list for this year was
submitted and approved. Directors Winters and Powning
and Secretary Stoddard were appointed lo prepare the speed
programme. President Gould said he would give a special
premium of $50 for the best exhibit of horses at the fair of
1890. Director Martin stated that he would give a special
premium of $50 for the best exhibit of cattle at the fair of
1890.

Tbe Austrians are taking a great neal of interest just now
in tbe trotting horse of America. Lewis Sohopper, secretary
of the Vienna Trotting Association, says tbe trotting interest
in that country is growing very rapidly, and there is some
talk of making purchases of a large nnmber of high prioed
horses in America, both alalttons and brood mares, for the
purpose of starting an immense breeding establishment. He
is of the opinion that the love for the trotter evinced by tbe
Austrians is not ju*t a fancy that will pass away in a short
time, but he thinks it will grow into an industry, as it basic
Kentucky.

Messrs. Look & Smith, Louisville, Ky., have bought for
Dr. William Morrow, of Nashville. Tenu., from the ownere,
MesBrs. Oliver Posey & Sod, of Rushville, Ind., th« two year
old colt Gny Corbitt 11720, eired by Guy Wilkes, 2S07, record
2:15$; dam Minnie WUkes, by Sultan 1530, record 2:24; 2od.
dMni Kitty WilKes (dam of Rajah 2:20$), by George Wilkes
510, record 2:22; 3rd dam Snipnose {dam of Garnet 2:19), by
American Clav 34; 4tb dam by Downing's Bay Messenger.
This is one of the most richly bred colts in the country, and
nbould prove a creat acquisition to the Tennessee- breeders.
Price private, but a long one.

Mr. Van Gnrden, the Superintendent of tbe San Simeon
Ranch, informed me last Monday that W. L. Donathan
would start for New York with tbe Hearst stable the latter
part of this week with eight head of horses, viz , B-iggage,
Almont and Del Mar, loar year olds, all winners this spring;
Primero, Anarchist, J. B.. Snowball and Yosemite, two year
olds. They will make their debnt on the Eastern tracks at
Brooklyn, and on the conclusion of tbe Brooklyn meeting
will go to Washington Park, Chicago. Mr. Van Gordeu will
be UDable to go East at present.

Tbe thoroughbred stallion imported Prince Leopold was
©Id by Brace & Kidd in Lexington last December to Talbott
Jrothers of Paris, Ky. He waa the property of August Bel-
nont of New York. Last week, Talbot Brothers brought
nit against Mr. Belmont for $1,950 the pnrcbase price, with
nterest on the same from the day of the sale. The plaintiffs
slaim that the horse is nnsound, and that he has been so
iver since he came into their hands. The case will not come
ip for trial nntil next November. Prince Leopold is royally
jred, being by Doncaster, ont of Princess by King Tom.

The will of Aristides Weion, me famous breeder, was
idmitted to probate last week. His estate, which was esti-
nated at $100,000 and upward, was bequeathed in trust to
;he Pennsylvania Company for Insurance on Lives for the
wnefit of his three sons. Robert A. Welch, William A. Welch
tud James Welch, until December 14, 1900. when it shall be
:aually divided among them. His personal effects, which
were defined to be hisdiamoud jewelry, plate, pictures, cloth.
Dg, etc , and not moneys, bonds, stocks or securities, was
ilso directed to be divided equally between che sons. He
jrovided for an annuity for his sister.

To what enormous proportions Winter racing has grown
a shown by the record of the Hudson and County Jockey
31ub, whose new track at Gutteubergwas opened last Decem-
ber. The records of Secretary Whitehead show that during
the sixty days of the meeting 361 races were run. The club
distributed among horse owners $152,380, of which amount
1129,250 was added money, the balauce of the sum distribu-
ted, $23, 130, being money paid for entrance fees, all of which
went to horses running second orthird. Of the owners who
won $1,000 or upward during the meetiDg there were thirty-
four, G. Walbaum being the highest winnner with $11,833.

Where weight, material, or lifting power ha= to be econo-
mized, a mechanic will always make his levers light at their
faBt moving end, and stroDg at their slow or powerful end.
Eaoh ot the four supports of the horse's body is a lever, so
arranged aH to give speed to htB feet at tbe expense of power,
so that in judging of the horse's power or speed, we must
estimate it, not by tbe small end of the lever at the shanks,
but by tbe quantity and quality of the muecles, arranged on
the loins, the haunches and the shoulders. The direction cf
each bone in these complicated supports, and tbe angle at
which they lie to each other, is a matter of much consequence
in estimating the cabilities and the pleasantness of the horse,
but to go fully into this subject would require a very long
chapter on anatomy, which we wish to avoid, as we know
that sucn chapters are not often read.

The reason why race horses do not laet a3 long in active
service as trotters do, or one reasoD, at least, according to Mr.
Huggins, Mr. A. J. Casealt's trainer last sf a-on, is tbtlremen-
dous strain under which they work. Take a racer moving
through the air at the rate ot fifty feet a second, which is not
far from the actual speed, and the pressure the atmosphere
exerts against him is tremendocs. 8ay he weighs 1,000
pounds, and the atmospheric pressure on each square inch
of his body is enormous. It strains every joint and muscle
aud finds out every tendon. Now, in adnition, remember
that every running norse is pounding along on the ground
oil the while, bringing each hoof down with a pressure of
10,000 or more, and is it any wonder racers go amiss?

Injudicious feeding of a horse often produces far more
baneful results than does overwork. Wnen a horse is con-
atantly kept upon food as concentrated as he can bear, there
is necessarily a tendency to inflammation and consequent
lameness, but lameness is more certainly produced with sud-
den changes from bulky to concentrated fcod, and that on
tbe day when his feet are to be most severely tried by concus-
sion on a hard road. It would be safer to abuse bis digestive
organs one day and his feet another than to abuse them both
at the same time. Grass feeding horses can be lamed at any
time, without any extra work, by simply giving them more
com and less chaff.

The sporting world says: Lon Myers was telling the trib-
ulations he experienced with his stable boys. Everybody
who knowB him can testify to his generous, 6unny disposi-
tion. Sometimes he discharges all haDds, finds them around
the stable next day. and hires them bark. Recently he was
dissatisfied with the condition of one of his help, and said:
"Here, you'll have to go, I don't want yon any more."
flinch to his surprise, the lad refused point blank to vacate
the premises. "What's the use," argued Myers, ''of my hav-
ing you around, you're drunk all the time." "Well," re-
sponded the help, "what do you give me so much money
,:or; you must expect me to get drunk'" He remains in Lon
Myers' employ.

The Sportsman says: Knap McCarthy turned Salisbury over

,» Mike Daly in such magnificent shape, that the opponents

)f the employment of trotting methods with running horses

lad never a word to say. They were wont to say that a trot-

;ing trainer could keep the veriest cripple on his feet for auy

lesired number of ages, but that his skill— like a certain late

amented gentleman's clock — stopped short right here. Their

ittle tin horns will now have to toot a diffeient air. Salis-

)ury was fit to run for his own — or for Mike Daly's — life on

iatiirday last He just galloped Fitzroy and Bradford half

o death in that firnt halt in 4S seconds. Everybody was

f inxions to know just what sort of a graveyard could afford

. o peddle such a ghost.

Perhaps no animal ever stood so entirely on his own mer-
ta as the English thoroughbred horse. His performances
»ave shown the fallacy of a thousand theories, have put
lown a thousand prejudices, and have commanded the prac-
ieal admiration ot the world. For nearly two hundred years
.fter the English racehorse was admitted to be the fastest
lorse in the world for the short distances run on an English
ace course, doubts were from time to time raised in various
tuirters as to whether he would pr^ve the fastest in a very
i ong distance. The most cruel distances were often pro-
loeed, but seldom accepted, but whenever they have been ac-
epted the distance has only exhibited the superiority of the
horonghbred in a stronger light.

The desk of Secretary Kuck of the New York Jockey Club,
is now ornamented with a massive and handsome ibkstand
of black marble with silver trimmings, which is both admired
and envied by all horsemen who have seen it. Above the ink
well are arranged so as to make a clever pen rack one of the
plates worn by the famou3 El Rio Bey when he made his
record of l;ll at the track of the New York Jockey Club in
the White Plains Handicap on Saturday, Aug. 31, 18S9. The
nails which fastened the plate to the hoof of the flyer form
rests for the pen holders, and tbe plate is supported at the
hack by one of the spurs which Winchell wore on that day.
All these are neavily plated with Silver and held in place by
a framework of the same material. On this work is the in-
scription "Presented to T. H. Kuck, Secretary of the N. Y.
C, by Alt Estell." A smaller plaie bears these words: "El
Rio R-y, 1:11." The whole affair is in Tiffany's best style,
and the donor. Mr. Estell, is the manager of the Theodore
Winters' stable, to which El Bio Bey belongs.

The well-bred and game pacing mare Net dropped a very
laTge and perfect filly foal on April 20th by Almont Patcben,
2:15, one of the greatest performers of the present day. The
foal resembles the eire strongly; is of the eatne dark, hand
some color without white marks. Net, the dam, will be
remembered as the large chestnut who, in 18SS. beat a field
of five, including Keogh, and was handled by Jack Nichol.
At that time Bhe had only been off pasture six weeks, had
not been prepared for a race, and was eight months gone
with foal; she won the stubbornly oontested race — eight
heats — the last in 2:34£. Three days afterward showed a
mile in 2:27; it was tbe general opinion that 2:20 would not
be a low mark for her with proper conditioning. Net was
sired by Magic, be by Elmo out of Lady Whipple, she by
Whipple's Hambletonian. Her hlly should certainly be heard
from some day if gameness and level-headednees are trans-
mitted from sire and dam to their offspring. Mrs. Emily D.
Knott, of Searsville, San Mateo Co., who is the fortunate
owner of the mare and her filly, had an offer of $1,000 for
the produce in the event of its proving to be a stallion. Tbe
filly should be as valuable.

The St. Louis Republic says; Mr. J. E. Farrington, Vice-
Pret-idetit Newport News and Mississippi Valley Railroad,
Lexington, Ry., accompanied by a party of friends, visited
Franklin on the 19th, and purchased from Miller & Sibley
the following gilt-edge trotting stock:

Brown colt, 2 year^, by St Bel, dam Nubia by Harold.

Roan filly, Maltese, 2 years, by St. Bel, dam Mabel May
by Raymond.

Bay rilly, Kalleta, 2 years, by Whips, 2:27, dam by Gen.
Benton.

Boan mare, Mabel May, record 2:33 by Raymond, dam
Flora Pease, sister to Mink, 2:29.

Eich one of the two-year-olds showed speed enough on the
track to sati-fy the Lexington parties that all were capable
of beating 2:30 in their two-year-old form. The prices paid
were private, but horsemen think it was more than was ever
paid in Pennsylvania for three of like age. Trainer Williams
of Lexington, who was of the party, states that be saw more
speed in colts here than he had ever seen at this season of
the year on any stock farm in America. Kentucky coming
to Pennsylvania for trotters encourages breeders in this sec-
tion, and indicated that they realize that trotters can be bred
in the North as well as in Kentucky.

Mr. W. C. Parker, of Newton, came dangerously Dear los-
ing all of his trotting seek by fire on Saturday night, the 5th
inst. Mr. Parker and his trainer, Mr. Ricker, drove over to
Rose Hill Farm in the evening, leaving his stable ia charge
of a mad employed for that purpose. When in sight of tbe
stable upon their return, they noticed that a tire bad started
in that part of the s'able in which the carries were kept,
and was makiog rapid progress. Thero were nineteen head
of horse stock confined in the stables, including a verv prom-
ising son of Alcyone (2:27), a magnificent filly by Woodbtioo
(2:25i), several youngsters by Gold Beater, aud a number of
broodmares. Seeing that it was impossible to arrest the
flames, Mr. Parker ordered the doors leading from the car-
riage-room to the stable closed, and at once sprang to ihe
rescue of the valuable animals, all excepting three of which
were turned loose and saved. Two of those which perished
were turned loose, but rushed back into a box-stall. The
most valuable animals were rescued, Two broodmares and
one young stallion were burned. The latter was by Gold
Beater, dam by Daniel Lambert; second dam Bcsie Snow by
Garibaldi, son of the Bennett Horse. Great credit is due
Mr. Parker and Mr. Ricker for the rare good judgment dis-
played under such trying circumstances. The fire probably
resulted from the explosion of a kerosene lamp or lantern
which the man in charge of the stable left burning when be
went to bed. This man was found asleep, and would doubt-
less have perished, but for the timely arrival of the proprie-
tor. This should be a lesson to those who are employed for
the purpose of guarding valuable property.

Racing at Linden began last Tuesday under very favorable
conditions. Linden Park is now certainly one of the moat
delightfully-located and picturesque race tracks in America.
It was opened last fall under discouraging circumstances.
Tbe shortcomings that were then apparent have all been
remedied. Semetbing like $60,000 has been expended in
necessary work, and now the track is pronounced by trainers
and owners to be as good as any thereabout- The old clayey
track has all been removed, and in its place has been sub-
stituted one of loam and sand, which slopes gently from the
ceDtre to each side, thus insuring complete drainage. To
make this drainage perfect, ditches have been built nn either
side, these feediog into drains, which are laid under the
track, so that all rain that falls is not only carried from the
track but from the grounds and outside of the inclosnre.
The stables and paddock Bheds unfinished at the time of the
original opening have been completed, and are now as near-
ly perfect as possible. Fresh paint and the scrubbing brush-
es of the cleaneis have made everything look in shipshape,
and the clubhouse and members' stand are furnished bb com-
fortably as the most exacting oould wish for. Under its re-
organization James R. English of Linden, a prominent law-
yer and one of tbe counsel of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, is President, Capt. William M. Conner Vice Pres-
ident, and Richard Stockton, of the well-known New Jersey
family of that name. Secretary and Treasurer. C T. Rowe,
who has bad years of experience, is the clerk of the course,
and altogether the club seems thoroughly well equipped for
what may really be considered its inaugural meeting.

Mr. C. J. Hamlin recently remarked that he began breed-
og horses twenty years ago, in a small way, that he bad kept
n accurate account of all expenses, and that he had made
wenty-five thousand dollars, and had three hundred cf the
•est horses he ever bred left, "and," said he. "wbete can
on find a better business than that? It pays to buy and
treed only the best." He further said tbat he once sold.
tinetysix head, aud put all the money into sixteen, for breed-
og purposes. He takes his best broodmares and gets two or
■dree fillies from them, and when they are sixteen years of
ge, or thereabouts, he disposes of them and uses the best
Hies, on the theory that a good mare should from a superior
tallion bring a better foal than the mother.

Alistofthe high priced thoroughbreds in Eogland and
merica has been published in almost every sporting paper,
he American horses, 35 of which are given, run down to
10 000, while with tbe English, twelve of which are given,
20,000 is the lowest price. Several others might have
een added iocluding Busybody, 3, bv Petrarcb, out of Spioa-
ay who was Bold at thefamons sale of Lord Falmouth in 1SS4
ir$44.000; at thesame ealeLouisburg, 2, sold for $20,000,
hile Maximilian was — when sold— the hiehf st priced yearling
aid in England, being knocked down for $20,500, and Captain
lachell paid $20,000 for Blue Blood, a brother to Donoaeter.
he two latter were not worth a twentieth of the price paid,
tit Busybody won the One Thousand and Oaks.

As Borne discuBsion has arisen lately regarding the iden-
' ly of the famous racehorse Lecompte, the history of bis
[vnerebipas told by Mr. M. Hertzog and Mr. J. Alphonse
^rudhomnie (son-in-law of the late Mr Lecompte) becomes

matter of some interest. It is as follows:
, Mr. Lecompte. while travelling through Kentucky, saw the
i rest racehorwe sire Boston, and determined, if possible, to
sou re a colt from him. Not having in his possession a mare
litable for breeding to such a famous sire as BoBton, he bar-
lined for the use of the grand old broodmare Reel by Glen-
», and tbe result of the union was the great Louisiana bred
lOeoorse Lecompte. Mr. Lecompte and Mr. Wells were fcuch
itimate friends thnt the colt always remained in the hands
1 Mr. Wells, but all their friends at the time perfectly un-
:tatood that Mr. Lecompte was the real owner of the horse.

The Chicago Horseman of tbe 17th, in its pen-pictures nf
prominent breeders, says of Dr. Bicks of Saciamento; "M.
W, Hicks, owner of the stallions Prompter. Sterling aud
Privateer, is a short, wiry man, wearing a grayish beard. He
has a quick, nervous manner, is a man of learning, a logical
reasoner, and has a wonderful fund of horBe lore stored away
in his vigorous brain. Dr. Hicks has been very successful as
a breeder. Some years ago be took Buccaneer aud Flaxtail
to California. He bred nis producing daughters Mary,
Prairie Bird, Fern Leaf, Lucy (dam of J. H. McCormack,
2:29) and Flight. From Mary he bred Apex, 2:26, by Promp-
ter, a sire also of his breeding. From Prairie Bird bred
Flight, 2:29, by Buccaneer, and Flight produced Fleet, 2:24
at two years, bred by another party. Fern Leaf produced
the pacer Gold Leaf, 2:11£, and Shamrock, 2:25 at two years.
He is an admirer of the Blue Bull strain, and has ably main-
tained bis opinion with his pen." And later on, in tbe same
issue, By Holly is described: "B. C. Holly, of Holly
wood Breeding Farm, bears a stroog resemblance to John
Splan. He is spare built, dark complexioned, and his hair
and mustache are sprinkled with gray. Mr. Holly has at his
California farm the stallions Election, Mountain Boy, Kafir,
Woodside. Mart Boorbem and the thoroughbred Revtille, by
Shiloh. The noted stallion Woodnut, 2:161. was once his
property, and was sold by him to Robert Steel for a loDg
price."

There seems to be quite a difference of opinion among
horsemen, says the Pennsylvania Farmer, as to the value of
corn fodder as food for hoises. A leading farm paper recent-
ly cautioned its readers against feeding horses on corn-stalks,
stating that they would make tbe horses' coats rough. Mr.
C. W. Williams, the breeder and trainer of Axtell, says that
his wonderful colt had little besides corn-stalks for rough
fodder during nearly two winters. He says he considers
corn-stalks the beBt rough fodder he can get for colts. The
writer once worked for a farmer who never cut any hay. Hie
cattle and horses never had any fodder but cured corn-
stalks. The animals always looked well, and the horses did
their full share of work. The writer now has two tbat have
very little to do and are not heavily fed.

One of them prefers corn-wtalks to hay, while the other
runs down if fed on stalks wi' bout hay. It is an old horse
and cannot handle the stalks us wtll as a younger horse
would. We find that this prejudice against corn-stalks for
horses is quite common among a cUbb of farmers. Except in
the case of old horses with poor teeth we do not tbinb the
prejudice is just. In fact it seems reasonable that a moder-
ate supply of well cured stalks will prove beneficial to a horse
in winter, and even with old horses if the stalks could be cot
and moistened.

It looks as though there were grave doubts about Hamil-
ton's ability as a driver, for tbe New York Sportsman says: —
Mr. Belmont's $10,000 a year colored jockey, Anthony
Hamilton, was in Judge Lachman's court recently as defend-
ant in a suit in which his skill as a driver was seriously
called in question. O'Halloran Brothers, livery stable beep-
ers at No. 127 West Seventeenth street, were the plaintiffs.
They wanted $55 for tbe damages they charged Hamilton
with having inflicted upon an octagon-fronted brougham.

On a Sunday afternoon in the latter part of November one
of the O'Hallorans was driving a lady down Fifth Avenue.
"Che avenue was crowded with vehicles. At Forty-^ixth
street, O'Halloran said, in conformity with tbe unwritten
code of tbe knights of the ribbons, be flourished bis whip to
indicate to the driver behind bim that he was going to blow
up. Almost instantly there was a crash, and turning be
found a horse entangled with a hind wheel of the octagon-
fronted broughan. The wheel had to be removed to release
the horse. In tbe meantime the $55 worth of damage had
been done,

The sleepy-looking little jockey was a thing of beauty as
he took hiB mount on the witness stand. His attire was of
the fineBt. An immense horseshoe blazed upon bis red satin
scarf, every nail a diamond, and a soltaire as big as a hickory
nut sparkled uponafiDger of bis left hand. He languidly
explained to Lawyer Tclman that h6 had ridden for Senator
Hearst of California, and had carried Bcch well known flyers
as Exile, Tattler and others to victory. The turnout he was
driving on that Sunday afternoon was his own. Tbe horse
was a trotter that he had paid $ 1,000 for. He had bten tak-
ing his usual constitutional drive up tbe road with a friend.
Had he drank anything? Yes; tbey bad had a small bottle
of wiue, but be was not drunk— had never been drunk in his
life.

"Now, wasn't it a quart bottle that you drank? he was
q g"k(j 1 1

"No," with languid indignation. "Von don't suppoBe I
could get away with a quart bottle, do you?"

His horse ha* never known the touch ot a whip, be said,
and O'Hallorau's flourish was so vigorons that tbe iasb of the
whip caught his trotter on the neck. He reared, the octaeon-
fronted brougham came almost to a stop, and although H»m-
ilton managed to get the trotter partly to one side, he came
down upon the hind wheel io snoh a manner that his hind
leg could not be extricated O'Halloran started to drive
ahead, and the hori-ewas banly hnit before Hamilton jumped
ont of bis buggy aud grabbed O'Hallorau's team by tbe head.
He remarked to the liveryman's complaint: —

"What have you git to growl about ? My horse is worth a

sight more than your old coach."

The horse was still lame, and Hamilton bed been compelled
ever siDCe November to hire another trotter at $5 a dav
There was some comment upon his ignorance as to the al-
lged signal toftop. and Hamilton remarked: —

"Well. I ain't a coachman. I drive just like any gentleman
does, and I can drive as well as any of them."
Judge Lacbman took the papers.

THE FARM.

Breeds of Uattla.

"We are asked by a correspondent to give a sketch of the or-
igin and history of several breeds of cattle which he names.
It is a large task that he lays out for ub, and we will not be
able to fully satisfy him in the space we have to spare, but
something can be done, and im doing it we can draw freely
from the best sources at hand.

The Short-horns are the most widely distributed of any
breed of beef cattle. We believe that it is fair to say that
they are the standard cattle, though as young as any of the
fixed breeds. In all its peculiar types it may fairly be called
a modern breed.

The breed was greatly improved, and its types fixed by the
Collings Brothers, Bates and Booth. The BateB and Bsotk
blood is now the most fashionable Shorthorn blood. Short-
horns were imported to this country the beginning of the
present century, but those imported before a herd book was
established in Eoglaud and koown popularly as "Seven-
teens," while no doubt of pure blood and among the best for
beef, 'are not "fashionable," and do not command as high
prices as breeders of "fashionable" cattle. For the farmer
who is raisiog only for beef they are just as good and much
cheaper.

The Galloways are one of the oldest breeds. In fact history
does not go back to their origin. They have been kept in
Southern Scotland and Northern England from time immem-
orial. They are hardy as might be expected from their ori-
gin, black and hornless, and for rustling on the prairies they
may be more valuable than Shorthorns. They are not deep
milkers, but give rich milk. Their meat ranks high in the
market. A Bteer at. three years old should weigh about 1600
pounds and dress about 1000. They are prepotent, and a
Galloway bull crossed with horned cattle will produce ninety
per cent, of hornleBs calves.

The Polled Angus are a very old race and were probably in-
troduced into Scotland from Norway. Black is the fashion-
able oolor for them, but they were originally red. yellow or
brindled as well as black, and these colora sometimes show
now, though they are regarded as a bad mark. Their Scot-
tish home is in Aberdeenshire, from which they take their
name of Aberdeen, in connection with Angus. There was no
herd book of Polled ADgus till 1S62, and since that time the
breed has been greatly improved, becoming noted for the
character of the meat and for easy fattening. They are not
deep milkers, but are prominently a beef breed.

There are several breeds of hornless cattle, all of which are
beef cattle except the Jtfced Polled. These are good milkers,
and their admirers claim that they are more nearly the "gen-
eral purpose" cattle that the average farmer wants more than
any other. The polled cattle are all from northern countieB,
and as a rule are more hardy than any other breeds, standing
cold weather better than their neighbors from more southern
sections*

The Holsteins are a Dutch cattle, though there are no cattle
in Holland called Holsteins. They are large, fatten fairly easily,
but are a milking breed. They stand above any other breed
in the quantity of milk given, and their admirers will also
claim for them prominence in butter production.

The Jersey is no doubt the butter cow. They originated
on the little Island of Jersey in the English channel, and
with the Alderney and Guernsey are called Channel cattle.
All of these breeds are superior milk and butter produoers.
but tho Jersey has held the front rank for so long that it will
not easily be dispossesed of it.

Our correspondent asks which of these breed's is best for
the farmer. The question can't be answered as it stands.
There are too many differing circumstances to answer it. If
he wishes to raise beef he must, to be successful, get a beef
breed, and even then the question of which one cannot be an-
swered off hand. Circumstances must decide. If he wishes
to make butter he must select a butter breed, and not beef
stock, and which breed will still be a question for him to de-
cide.

Our correspondent has by no means exhausted the list of
cattle that are claimed to have peculiar excellencies as beef
or dairy cattle. A list of a hundred names would not ex-
haust the breeds for which some special excellencies are
claimed, though but few of them are found in this country.
Among the easily obtained breeds that he does not mention
are the Herefords and Sussex for beefj and the Ayrshire,
Guernsey, Alderney and Red Polled for milk, butter and
cheese. There is among them no breed that is absolutely
the best, each having points or combinations of points in
whioh it is superior to others, and it is in the adaptation of
these pointB to the circumstances of the farmer that the best
for him is found. — Western Plowman.

Disease Conveyed by Meat.

The question of tuberculosis has recently been much dis-
cussed in this country, and is, we understand, exciting a
great deal of attention in Great Britain: The London Live
Stook Journal says:

"The subject waB discussed at some length before the
Leeds Corporation on Monday, Dr. Cameron, the medical
officer of health for the borough, has caused the carcasseB of
two beasts to be seized and destroyed, on the ground that
the animals when killed were Buffering from tuberculosis. A
number of Leeds butchers took up the matter, and sent to
the committee a numerous and influential deputation to urge
that the condemned meat was perfectly sound and fit for
human food. The deputation having put forward their caBe,
Dr. Cameron explained his reasons for believing that the
carcasses were not fit to eat. The medical officer also called
Mr. Jessop and another medical gentleman, who concurred
in the view he entertained. A full committee having debated
the question at great length, it was resolved to seek the opin-
ion of an expert. A joint is to be taken from each of three
different beasts — one certified to be perfeotly sound, another
'suffering partly from tuberculosis,' and a third that is be-
yond doubt not fit for human food. The expert is to be
asked to distinguish between the three portions of meat, both
before and after they are cooked, and to say to what extent
a taint will remain after cooking."

The Farmers' Review appreciates fully the anxiety of the
gentlemen mentioned to arrive at correct conclusions as to
the character of the meat of tuberculous cattle, but it most
express astonishment at the manner in which they intend to
go about the business. "We do not hesitate for a moment to
predict that the butchers will c:>nie off victorious when the
so-oalled expert renders his verdict. He is to say whether
the meat of the three animals ia fit for human use by merely
depeodiog upon his senses of taste, smell and sight. By such
means he oan not possibly tell anything as to whether the
meat in safe food for human beings, aud we are surprised
that our excellent contemporary has not, apparently, recog-
:~M this fact.

Meat may appear perfeotly sound, may taste all right, may
show no taint, and yet be dangerous, and of this class is in
all probability the meat of a tuberculous animal. We must
go bevond the power of our vision, our taste or our smell to
decide whether it is dangerous or not; for the bacillus of tu-
berculosis is not to be detected easily. Even by using a moat
powerful microscope to examine the blood or juice of the
beef, ten chances to one not a trace of the bacillus will be
found, and yet such meat may be most dangerous.

The proper way to decide regarding the meat in question
would be to take some of the blood and some of the juice ex-
pressed from the muscles and therewith inooulate rabbits or
guinea pigs and note tha result. If the meat is unfit for hu-
man use the juice or blood injected into the live animals men-
tioned will probably kill them, and thus tell us the true
story, which otherwise could not be ascertained.

The butcherB could not have asked a better test, eo fur as
their interests are concerned, than this opinion of an expert
regarding the appearance, taste and smell of the meat of the
animals in question, but the consumers should not allow
themselves to be humbugged in this way. Let inoculation
render the verdict instead of the expert, and the public health
will be protected.

Shorthorns as Improvers.

The Shorthorn sire as an improver of all other b«ef breeds,
as well as the native or scrub, has no equal. Some of the
other beef breedu make a remarkably good first cross, but
afterward the improvement is less marked than in the Short-
horn. Take a Hereford sire and cross on the native or Bcrub
cow, and your first produoe will moBt likely be a white-faced
calf. Then take the cow calf and then, at the proper age,
breed her to a pure-bred Hereford, and the produce is more
likely to be a speckled or roan than it is to have a white face.
Jf'or several years of my life I was connected with a Tanch-
man who was the owner of ten thousand cattle, and I thor-
oughly believe one of the best informed men on breeding I
have ever met — a man who had experimtnted and carefully
studied, and amassed a fortune of nearly one million dollars,
and has it yet. He tried nearly all the bpef breeds, and fin-
ally discarded all but the Shorthorn. I have known him to
take bulls worth to sell four hundred dollars each and turn
them out on the ranch to breed his cows to, but be was care-
ful to take them up when breeding season was over and feed
and care for thetu until time to turn out again. He alwayH
claimed that where his cattle were located (Wyoming) they
were better rustlers and made more improvement than any
other breed, not only in the firBt cross, but in each crosB
afterwards.

AS MOTIIERS.

The Shorthorn cow makes one of the finest mothers, al-
ways ready to protect her calf, although bo mild and appar-
ently intelligent when properly handled. I have beard that
there are Shorthorn cows that will not give milk enough
to raise their own calves, but io an experience of over twenty
years I have never seen one of that kind. We have at pres-
ent a pure bred cow only three Tears old and weighing over
1900 lbs., and has had her second calf, that is giving twenty
quarts or milk a day. She is not fed high, nor in any way
to make her give much milk. She was one of our show heif-
ers for two years. In fact, I have seen hundreds of Shorthorn
cows, and pure bred ones, too, that would give two twelve-
quart pailf ula a day when in full flow of milk. If a farmer
can raise that kind of a cow, one that is a good milker, aud
when he is through breeding her he can tarn hor off for beef,
at a great weight, what more does he want? I think he
should feel satisfied with her.

WHY USE SCROB SIRES?

Does it not seem strange that there are not more pure bred
sires used? They are certainly cheap and plentiful enough.
It is either igno'ance or indifference that makes men use a
scrub sire of any kind or breed of stook. They will not pay
the small amount asked by the publishers of agricultural or
live stock papers to read and inform themselves, and have
no ambition to learn, believing in their own narrow minds
that they know it all now. So they continue in the old ruts.
Scrubs are good enough for them; they are scrub men.

BUY SOME GOOD CATTLE.

A short time ago we concluded to have more stock to eat
up our surplus feed, rather than sell it off the farm, as we
neeti all the manure that we can get. Not knowing where we
could get thr6e or four car loads of high grade steers in Wis-
consin, we concluded to go to Chicago. We went into the
Exchange building, to the office of our commission man, and
made our wants known. "Well," he said, "of course you
want well bred ones. You will see very few coming from
Wisconsin." It was really surprising to see the small num-
ber of good cattle there were among the twelve thousand on
Bale that day. Any farmer who will go to Chicago and see
the difference in price between well bred Bteers and scrubs
or natives, and not go home and sell the Bombs and buy
some good cattle, does not deserve to ever be able to own
any. I would like to know what better investment any
farmer can make than to buy a Shorthorn cow or two, give to
a growing up son, and then advise with him as to the proper
manner of breeding for improvement. Buy books to read
about pure bred stook; take all the agricultural and live stock
papers within reach for him to read. How much better he
would be employed tLan in reading a novel, or hanging
around the village store, and how much better you would
feel to see the mind of your boy trained in that direction. —

Controlling: the Sex.

Colorado Against Texas Cattle.

There have been many theories advanced in regard to con-
trolling the sex; some of them were perfect until put into
practice, but the one that, to me, seemed to be the moBt sue-
cersful in practice was the "alternate heat" theoiy; that is,
if a cow were bred aDd the result was a bull calf, if Bhe had
not been bred till the next heat, she would have had a heifer
calf; every other heat giving a calf of the same sex. I have
read of several breeders who have been successful in breed-
ing according to this theory, and last year I tried it with two
of my best oows from which I wanted to get heifer calves; the
result was they both had heifer calves. I have just bred
tbem agaiu as a »eoond trial, and if they will have heifer
oalvea this lime, I will have more faith in the theory.

The ouly trouble is to keep a record of every time the cow
is in heat from the time she drops her calf till it is tiiu to
have her served. If she does not get io culf at that service,
you must wait six weeks — skipping cue heat— before having
her served again. This will interfere somewhat in our efforts
to have our cows come io at a certain time, as it JQBt doubles
th^ time nf waiting for the neit service, and two mioses °f
service will make a delay of twelve weeks. — The Stockmau.

Save your cattle by using Darbys Fluid— the best air puri-
fier and preventive of disease.

A special telegram to the Gazette from Denver, Colorado,
dated April 1st, Bays that a strong effort is being put forth by
the cattlemen in the southern portion of the State to preveot
the movement of Texas oattle by trail across their raoges to
Wyoming and the north. Some years ago this was a favorite
practice of drovers, and it waB only discontinued when the j
local owners banded together, for a vigorous opposition to '
the use of their ranges for common trails and bed groondB '
for these through herds. The obstruciive watch of the local J
cattlemen has been relaxed for the laBt few years, as the j
movement was inconsiderable, but the conduct of those who !
drove last year in getting range cattle into their herds, driv-
iug them long distances from home, as well as in stopping I
their herds whenever the fancy seized tbem, has aroused the J
Colorado man's ire, and be is again banding with his fellow j
sufferB for protection. Petitions tinned by every stock owner '
of the border counties are about to be filed with the quaran-
tine board, urging the latter to enforce the regulations to the)
letter. The effeot of such enforcement will be to tie up the ,
trail cattle on the State Hue for a period of ninety days. The I
looal owuer^ are not wholly dependent upon the quarantine
officials. The latter will act only in so far as disease may be
threatened through the introduction. In the matter of the!
protection of their ranges, they propose to use the local1
courts and proceed by injunction, using every legal method
available to carry out their policy of obstruction, and thus!
make the blockade effectual and permanent. Appearances
now indicate that the lot of the Texas drover after he strikes
the Colorado line, will be decidedly unpleasant. No objec-
tion will be offered to the movement of these cattle by rail.
—Stook Grower.

Keeping Cold-Blooded StallioDS-

The Stockman and Farmer justly says: The temptation
to retain fine looking colts for stallions is often gnat, and
many farmers fall in love with good, growtby yoang6tallione
and keep them for breeding purposes regardless of theii
breeding. It ia a great mistake to do this, for several rea-
sons Where the farm horses are all, or nearly all, reared on
the place where they are kept, there is danger of inbreeding
or intermingling too much cold blood to produce the ordinarj
results expecttd from stallions of even ordinarj' blood
Again, a stallion may be, as an individual, all right himself,:
but any one with experience knows that a product of inferioi
parentage, although of good individuality, is liable, or al
moBt certain, to "breed back," and the result of breedhi|
such a horse is one of great uncertainty. It is certain!;
economy to make valnable work horses out of these proinis
ing colts instead of worthless stallions. There are too man)
well bred horses within the reach of all to encourage th
keeping of stallions that cannot raKe the quality of thi
horses of your district.

Classes of Fowls.

No one can obtain a clear understanding of the varioo
breeds and varieties of fowls who does not understand th.
purposes for which they are kept. Classification becomes in
dispensable in this as in every other branch of human knowl
edge.

Fowls may be broadly separated into two classes— oroa
mental and useful. Such a principle of division, however, i
far from satisfactory, for all useful fowls are more or less use
ful. Still there are some breeds which are kept primarily fo
ornament, and therefore this division is not without som1
value. To the ornamental class may be referred the whol
lists of Bantams, the Exhibition Games, and, perhaps, thi
HamburgB and Polish, although the latter breeds are ver
useful fowls. To the other class may be referred all othe:
breeds.

The useful fowls are divisible into three pretty well detiner
classes — table fowls, general purpose fowls and laying fow'
Such division is extremely valuable. A fable fowl is on
bred primarily for the amount and quality of the flesh it wi
produce. Is must lay some, enough to have eggB for hatch
ing to produce table fowls. Among poultry it ranks wher1
the Shorthorn and Hereford does amoog cattle, or the Soutt
down and Oxforddown among sheep. The laying fowlj
are those whose chief recommendation is the number of egg'
which they will produce in a year. They are the Jersey^
Guernseys, Ayrshires and Holsteins of the poultry yarcl
Their value consists in what they produce while alive, nt
in what their carcass will bring when dead. Between thesi
two olaBBes. partaKing of the quality of both, is the genen
purpose fowl. It must be a goDd layer, it must be a goo
table fowl; yet it is, after ell. but a compromise between tb
table and the laying fowl, inferior to each in its speciality, si'
perior to each in what it does not profeBs to be. The be*
table fowls are better for the table and not so good layers si
the general purpose fowl; the best layers surpass it in lajj
ing, but are inferior to it in table qualities. Some genen.
purpose fowls, as might naturally be expected, approac
quite nearly to one class, some to the other.

The American breeds are prized because they are genen
purpose fowls. For a long time, and that time has perh&jj
not wholly passed, poultrymen expected to combine in oi
fowl all the excellencies to be found in the various breed;
The abundance and quality of the flesh which charactei
the table fowl was to be unite! to the wonderful prolifioai
which marks the great layers. The expectation had not bet
realized; it never will be. Antagonistic qualities can be con
bined only by robbing them of their antagonism. The grei
layer and the great table fowl are differently constituted, wit
different dispositions, and convert their food into differei
products. It is probable that general purpose fowls may!
improved, that the nicest balance between their qualities bf
not been found, bat the Heal general purpose fowl will nevt
exist outside the imagination of its admirers.

There is need of all three classes of fowls. The man wn
raises poultry for market requires the table fowl; the oil fc*i
who produoes eggs for general consumption needs the gre:
layer, and hundreds and thousands of families, which kee
fowls to produce eggs and poultry, demand the general pu
pose fowl. The general purpose is unqaeationab
the most popular fowl in the country, but tl
other two classes are steadily growing in favor, and as tl
number of those who make a business of keeping fowls i
creases the popularity of these classes will increase. Fow
for Bpeoifio rnther than general purpose will be more ar
more demanded as the people learn that there is more pro!
iu having the highest development of a single quality than i
haviog a moderate development of two or more qualities, bi
this demand will never wholly displace the gen ral purpoi
fowl In the fnture as in the past, all three classes of fow
will be required to meet the varied wants of the people.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY AHPHIPP0S,

SUMMARY.

As the date of the championship games approaches, the
interest in amateur athletics increases. The sport-loving
public are looking forward to what promises to be one of (he
grandest athletic tournaments that San Francisco has so far
witnessed. The Olympio Club's "Ladies' "Night" exhibition
was a great Buccess. The Alpine athletes are making extra
preparations for their first open athletic meeting. The
wheelmen and oarsmen ore taking advantage of the splendid
weather, and are getting themselves into fine form for their
coming races. The Leaji-Kolb wrestling match is absorbing
all the attention of the indoor athletes.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

It seems as if every amateur on the Paoific CoaBt is in
training. At the new grounds of the Olympic Club, as well
as at the Bay District track, runners, walkers, jompers and
weight performers by the score are practicing daily, and
already in private trials many of the old coast records have
been knocked on the head. May 30th is bound to be a red-
letter day in the history of amateur athletics on the Pacific
Coast. This year the athletes have had manv good induce-
ments offered them to go into strict training. In the first
place, the splendid cinder path recently built by the Olympic
Club, has helped to induce many of the old timers to go into
harness once more, and then the organizing of the Alpine
Amateur Athletic Clab has considerably helped to boom ath-
ietios. The old time amateurs foand it too hard a tack to lay
back in the shade while younger blown struggled tooth and
nail to improve the existing records. The old saying is indeed
true: "Once an athlete always an athlete." There appears
to be some strange fascination connected with athletics.
Men have retired again and again, and have fully made np
their minds to give up training, but when they watch others
train and think of the cheers that have often rewarded their
own 'exertions in the past, that settles it. They cannot
stand idly by and see new men strive to break their records,
the making of which coat thtm so much time and hard work.
And then the spectators always receive the performances of
the old-timers more warmly than they do those of the tyro.
It is a happiness indeed, to be pointed out as one of the old-
time athletes, and feeling this way. it becomes a rather hard
task to place ones self on a level with the commonplace spec-
tators by watching others gallop round the track in quest of
glory and prizeB, whilst you aie simply looking on while you
might also be earning freBh honor.

The next event of importance will be the Lean-Kolb wrest-
ling match, which will take place in the gymnasium of the
Olympic Club on Tuesday evening next. Both men are in
tine condition, having trained faithfully for some weeks past.
A couple of evenings ago Kolb strained his eide while prac-
ticing with McLeod, but by the date of the match he will be
all right again. On the evening of the contest, both men
must weigh under 154 pounds. Lean has fouDd it very
difficult to reduce his weight on account of his hard muscles,
but from his extensive knowledge of traimog, it is very safe
to anticipate that he will weigh in all right. The prize will
be worth $200, and the winner will be champion of the
Pacific Coast.

The Field Captains of the Olympic and Alpine Clubs are at
present making arrangements for a grand competitive cross-
country run between their respective teams. The run will
probably not take place until after the championship games
on May 30th. The idea is indeed a capital one as such com-
petitions wil naturally tend to higher interest in athletics.
The sporting editor of the Examiner is evidently not
thoroughly posted on athletic records. A couple of days
since a small article appeared in that paper, stating that
James Jervis of the Olympio Club had broken the world's
record for a half mile walk the day before, making the dis-
tance in 3:24 against 3:31. Now it happens that the American
record held by Frank P. Murray of New York City is 3 min-
utes 2 2 5 seconds, or about 21 seconds less than the record
made by Mr. Jarvis. The 3.31 record broken was the Pacific
Coast record held by Horace Coffin. It was said that Jarvis
walked the fiisl half of the mile in laBt year's championship
in It's than 3:15.

The entries for the Alpine games close at the rooms, 706
Powell street, to-night at 10 o'clock. Up to the hour of going
to pre*s several well known athletes had signified their inten
tion of competing in the games, and when the handicapper
takes down the list this evening it is probable that it will
contain over fifty prominent names. Much interest will be
taken in these competitions as, the championship meeting
being eo close at hand, they will help to give the public a
chance to specnlate on the performances that may be ex-
pected on May 30th.

A very large number of entries have already been received
for the Central Park foot races which will take place on May
4th Some of the runners are put out because the meeting
was nut postponed until Sunday, May 11th. They claim
that the track will not be in good shape on the 4th on account
of the Wild West Show which is at present exhibiting in the
Park

A grand wrestling tournament for Olympic Clab members
only will be held on May 13th.

There is every likelihood of a boom in cricket this sum-
mer There are players from Australia and England in the
city at present, and efforts will be made to organize one or
two good clubs in the near future.

The report that V. P. White, the well known amateur
wrestler, was about to turn professional is incorrect.

W. J. Kenealey, a prominent member of the Olympic
Club, has forfeited his standing as an amateur by competing
in a race for professionals at the Lumbermen's picnic. We
understand that one or two other well known amateur ath-
letes are liable to be disqualified by the Pacific Coast Ama-
teur Athletic Association for taking part in picnic races. The
laws of the P C A A A forbids aDy amateur from competing
in games not held under its atiFpices.

J. J. McKinnon, the well known hammer thrower, has
been reinstated by the P C A A A, and is now training with
the intention of breaking the ooast record on May 30th. The
Field Captain of the University Club thinks he has a man in
his team who oan beat McKinnon.

If Mr. C. Giry, the backer of J. McLaughliD, who aspires to
the bantam championship of the Paci6c Coast, really desires
to match his man against Espinosa of the Olympic Clob, he
Bhould back his talk by putting up a deposit in the bands of
some prominent sporting editor or clubman. Espinosa is
very willing to arrange a match with McLauehlin, and if Mc-
Laughlin or his backer will come forward and plank down

their coin, more than one bantam weight will be ready to
coyer it, provided McLaughlin would be willing to fight for a
trophy.

The Lurline Club does not appear to be very anxious to
gain admission into the P. C. A. A. A.

The students at Berkeley, under the guidance of E. Coke
Hill, have at last settled down to steady training. The cin-
der track is now in fair condition and the runners are taking
advantage of the fact. A new walker has turned up amongst
the students, and if reports be conect he will take a place in
the walks on May 30th.

Victor E. Schifferstein is in fine trim at present, and with
proper care he should improve on some of his past perform-
ances at the championship meetings. Many are of the opin-
ion that he will run the hundred nnder ten seconds, and
clear over 24 feet in the long jump. He has also improved in
the high jump, and is likely to give Moffet a hard rub for
first place.

Within the past week the Bay District track has been
placed in tip top condition for foot racing. The Alpine Ath-
letic Club's team are training on it, and a good many of the
boys will show up in great shape on May 4th. Garrison,
MoodB, Little. Luttiinger. Eldridge, King, Goodman, Hudy,
George and Charles Armbruster, Dodd, Jeffery. Steinway,
Coleman. Whelan and O'Connor are training for the running
events, while Phillips, Cooke, Gafney and Gallagher are con-
fining themselves to walking. McKinnon, Hancock. Hart,
White and a few others are practicing jumping and hammer
throwing.

H. C. Cassidy is training for the runs at San Leandro and
expects to be in good form for the games.

At the Olympic Club's new grounds every day and evening
may be seen Scott, McArthur, O'Kane, Williams, McDonald,
Henderson, Cooley, Espinosa, Scbilinghyde, Winslow, Schif-
ferstein, Jellineak, Foster and Hare representing the run-
ners, with Jervis, Coffin and Kelly in the walks. Peter Mc-
Intyre is happy to see t-uch interest taken in the spor*. and
says when he looks at the many old faoes spinning round
the track, it makes him feel like a boy again.

The following gentlemen have been selected as the officers
of the dav for the Alpine Club games which will take place at
the Bay District track on Sundny, May 4tb, commencing at
1:30 p m. sharp: Master of Ceremonie's — T J Cunningham,
A A A C; Keferee— E Coke Hill, U C; Starter— F M Howard,
A A A C; Judges of track events— J P Bean, A A A C. Dr. C
A Bonnestell, A A A C, George W Jordan, O A C; Timers—
John T Sullivan, PBC.fi McArthur, O A C; John Pnrcell,
O A C; Judges of Walking— C B Hill, R B Jones, E Stein-
way, A A A C, Charles Vultee, A A A C; Clerks of Course —
J H Donohoe, A A C, T J Gallagher, A A A C; Call Stewards
— F J Balph, A A A C, W C Bean, A A A C; Marshalls— A M
King, A A A C, Henry Tank, A A A C, W C Gifford, A A A C
J R Collins, A A A C. The full list of entries and handicaps
will be published next week.

The struggle between the tug-of-war teams of the Olympio
and Alpine Clubs at the championship games will be worth
seeiog. The latter team is training at the club rooms under
the direction of Captain P. J. Sheedy.

A ladies annex will shortly be organized in connection with
the Alameda Olympic Club. The class will meet in the
gymnasium once a week.

Lean and Mertes have been "fired" out of the California
Club. Lean is now up for membership in the Olympic Club.
These are not the first men that have been fiied from thiB
amateur-hating club and the fact of an alhlete being expelled
from the California Club should be a sufficient recommenda
tion that he is eligible for membership in any of the first class
clubs. The California Club Directors prefer to see opium
fiends laying around their quarters rather than healthy ama-
teur athletes.

ON THE WHEEL.

Sydney R. Church is proposed for membership in the Bay
City Wheelmen.

Doane, Plummer, Hammer and Weimore, of the B C W,
went to Haywards on Sunday and from there started for
Niles. On account of the bad condition of the road they
were compelled to turn back. They returned to the city had
dinner, and spent the afternoon in the Golden Gate Park.

The fourth run of the Oakland Bioyole Club will be held
to-morrow. The members are requested to assemble at the
corner of 12th and Broadway streets, at 8:30 a.m. The
run will be to San Leandro, when breakfast will be taken, af-
ter which the team will be dismissed.

C. N. Langton and companion started for Mount Tamalpais
on Sunday, bat owing to the muddy condition of the roadB
bad to abandon the trip.

A largely attended meeting of the California division L A
W was held in Red Men's Hall, PoBt St , on Saturday even-
ing last, Chief Consul Thompson presiding. Reports were
made by the different committees. It was decided to hold
the League Meet at San Jose, Cal., on July 4th and 5th. The
San Jose members promised to have a four lap track bnilt in
time if possible, otherwise the track at the p»rk would be put
into good condition for the meet. The following were ap-
pointed a committee to arrange for the tournament: Al. Col.
Wagner, (Local Consul of ban Jose) Dr. T L Hill. — MeKen-
na and G. Drake. Should the winner of the League District
race make good time he will probably be sent East to compete
at the National Championship meeting.

AT THE OARS.

The water was exceedingly rough on Sunday, and in con-
sequence but few of the local crews were out.

It is possible that the Alpine Clob will purchase a new boat
for its amateur ciew before the date of the annnal regatta.

The Lurline Club gave a very pleasant athletic entertain-
ment at its quarters on Bay street last Sunday. About 5000
people were present. Refreshments were served all day, and
the Committee of Arrangements deserve credit for the excel-
lent manner in which they manage things. The aquatic
programme could not be carried out owing to the roughness
of the bay, but the indoor exhibition was good and fully sat-
isfied those who were invited to alteod. The programme
consisted of several boxing bouts by some of the best talent
on the Pacific Coast, wrestling, musical specialties, etc. Tne
final boxing bout was between Messrs. Cook and Smith, and
the result was a clean knock oat. Cook apparently tapped
Smith a little harder than was really necessary in an exhibi-
tion, and the latter retaliated by knocking his opponent un-
der the ropes in the fourth round, where he lay uolil after
the ten seconds bad expired. The club will hold its first
picnic at Wildwood Glen, Sausalito, to-morrow afternoon.
All the boat and athletic clubs are cordially invited to at-
tend.

Great preparations are being made for the annnal picnic of
the Pacific RowingAssociation.

The members of the Oakland. Cal.. Canoe Club have
received an invitation from the Corinthian Yacht Club to
attend their opening day, Saturday, April 20th, at Tiburon.

CLUB J0TT1N»J3.

The regular monthly exhibition of the Golden Gate Athlet-
ic Club was held last evening and was largely attended by
the members of the club.

On exhibition nights PresidentFulda of the California Clob
tries to make the members think that they have no right to
speak. Last Tuesday evening Mr. Fulda addressed ibe mem-
ber at large and aaked them if they were willing to have the
club put up a purse of $20,000 for a battle between John L.
Sullivan and Pete Jackson. Some of the members who were
present suggested that SI, 500 or $2,000 would be enough,
and that such a sum as $20,000 was entirely too much to
throw away in a prize fight. Now these members were quick-
ly told to shut up, and made to feel that they ought to be
thankful tor being allowed the privilege of payiog their dues
every month. In brief, Fulda tried to impress all present
with the fact that he was the power and the say of the club.
It ill behooves the President of any club to try and bluff the
members over which he presides, and the members of the
California Club should strike boldly out and demand that
their voices should te heard and their opinions respected.
The humblest member in the club has just as much right to
talk as Mr. Fulda, the President. A change in the officers
might tend to make things more pleasant for the members at
large, especially since some of the officers have declared that
they do not want amateurs in trie clob.

A general meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club will
be held on Thursday evening next, May 1st, at the club
rooms, 706 Powell street, near Pine. Nominations of officers
for the ensuing term will be made, and final arrangements
will be completed for the coming games.

At a meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. held at the Olympic
Club rooms on Friday evening, April 18th. Several new rules
were adopted, J. J. McKennon, of the Alpine Club was rein-
stated into the amateur ranks, and the officers to manage the
coming champ onship games were selected.

We understand that the Garden City Athletic Club of San
Jose is fast gaining in membership, and that the team which
is to represent it on May 30th is a strong one and liable to
take away a good many points from the local clubs.

LADIrTS* NIGHT.

.The Olympic Athletes Entertain Their Lady-
Friends in First-Class Style-

A Successful Tiio- of- War Contest.

Seats were at a premium in the spacious gymnasium of the
Olympic Athletic Club on Wednesday evening last. It was
Ladies' Night," and the place was packed with members and
their fair friends. The committee of arrangements deserve
much credit for the excellent manner in which every number
on the programme was carried out. The pyramids and
groupings by members of the Juvenile class, was loudly
applauded by the ladies. The boxing was scientific and not
too rough, and the fencing reflected credit on ihe instructors.
The trapeze and horizontal baractB were unusually good, and
the performers showed the results of careful training. The
club swinging act of Prof. Smyth was worthy of that gentle-
man. The tug-of-war contest on cleats was exciting, and
both teams were loudly applauded for their fine wcrk. This
contest was the most exciting one of the whole evening, and
with the fair sex in particular, it took well. The young
athletes who took part in it, were without a single exception
splendid specimens of athletic manhood.

The members of the Juvenile class who took part in the
exhibition were exceptionally well drilled in their different
parts, which fact proves that the instructors employed by the
club are all first class men, and attentive to their duties.
The following is a correct copy of the programme as given:

1. Pyramids and groupings — By juveniles of the Olympic

coast.

A first class string orchestra added much to the enjoy-
ment of the evening.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

Blue Rock Shooting.

The contest at bine rock shooting, at Windsor, Sunday,
April 16th, between the Healdsbnrgh and Windsor fann
Clobs, was won by the latter, as shown by the score below.

Gun Club.

A verr oharming day and delightful trap meeting was that
of the Gnn Club at Oakland Trotting Park on Saturday after-
noon last. The birds were almost without exception clinkers,
and as many of them were white and flew directly toward the
newly printed white fence, it was impossible to see them.
The unusual quickness of the birds accounts in a nieaBure
for the low average scores, although several of the members
had bad luck in bavins birds fall dead out of bounds,
among tbem being Mr. Will J. Goleher, Mr. Fred Webster
and Mr. H. W. Woodward. The only clean score was Mr.
Orr's. He shot in superb form and fully maintained his po-
sition as a premier with the gun .

Messrs. E. B. Woodard, Fred Wooster and E. A. Eddy
alone of the others got into double figures and that only by
some of the cleanest and sharpest shooting that has been seen
in local circles for a long time.

Mr. Ed Donohue, using his 6} lb. ejector, scored nine, a
very 6ne performance for a novice.

Mi. Jellett, who seemed likely to make none but clean
scores this season, dropped to eight,

The match was at twelve birds, American Shooting Associ-
ation rules, and the scores were:

The clnb's nest match will be held on May 30tb, at Ross
Station, as it has been the custom every year to have a picnic
and Bhoot on that day. The shooting will begin in the morn-
iDg, and several side matches will be shot in addition to the
stated shoot.

Lincoln Gun Club.

The Lincoln Gnu Club held a shoot last Sunday afternoon
on its new grounds recently laid out at Alameda Point. All
the members were in attendance, but this being the first
shoot of the season and on new grounds, with a heavy wind
blowing, the scores were not up to championship form.

The first event on the programme was the medal contest
for two classes — first and second.

In the first clasB Holmes won, breaking twelve birds out of
a possible twenty.

In the second class Venker won with seven birds. The
scores of the others were as follows, all being made at clay
pigeons.

First class — Scovern 5, Holmes 12, Campbell 7, Hellish S,
Brans 5, Potter 11, Parks 8, Ford 10, Kearney 10, Allen 4,
Mallert 3. Framzen 9, Fisher 2, Wenzel 4, Gate 8, Fanning
5, White 9.

Second class — Quinten 5, Venker 7, Cohen 1, Brown 6.

The next contest was a free-for-all pool-shoot, in which
twenty-two members entered, subscribing $2.50 each, the
winner to take the entire purse. This was won by Parks,
wbo brought down eight out of a possible twenty. Following
was the score:

Ford 5, Gate 2. Brown 1, Holmes 1, Parks S. Wenzel 3,
Venker 3. Campbell 5. Frazer 4, Thorn 2, Potter 2, Mellon 5,
Kearney 7, Cohen 2, Bruns 7, Fisher 4, Hughes 1, Briggs 1,
Scovern 1, White 1, Foster 4, Qainten 2.

Two other pool contests were shot — the first by eleven
members, in which Cohen won by breaking ten "birds," and
the second, a double-bird shot, with thirteen entries, was
won by Parks, who broke seven birds.

Mr. "Nick" White, of Sacramento, writes: "There are
some snipe about here, and I managed to get a few one day
last week in a fifteen-mile tramp. As many as *3fty to the
gen have there been killed in Borne localities, per day."

California Wine Shooting Club.

Oakland Trotting Park was enlivened on Sunday last by
the pigeon-popping of the California Club. The birds were
more than ordinarily good, and the shooting very fair. Mr.
"Randall" won the first medal on a toss-up in the club
match, killing eleven lively birds cleanly with his little
12-bore. Mr. Crittenden Robinson did what he rarely does,
i. e. scored but eight. Second medal went to Mr. Chase, also
with eleven. Captain E3dy, with the same score, took third
medal, both places being allotted on a toss-up. The scores
were 'made at 12 live birds, American Shooting Association

Interesting Statistics.

Mr. E. Hough, chronicler of the doings of Col. C. W.
Dimick's peripatetic pigeon pulverizers, in closing his annals
of the memorable journey, recites some valuable and inter-
esting details as to the trip:

The Iolanthe traveled rather more than 10,000 miles with-
out any accident beyond one broken spring. The rent of the
car was understood to be $45 per day. The total ontlav of
the trip must have been between S15.000 and $20,000.
Shoots were held in 32 towns. The original schedule included
about 42 towns. The count of towns actually shot in is as
above. The public will not be interested in the fact that
Dayton shoot was counted out, bat will very naturally
include that in the series, as it should be. The individual
averages were made np with Dayton Bhootineluded. On the
above basis the Eastern term won 16 matches, the Western
13. There were three tieE — Austin, Texas; Toledo, O., and
New York.

Total number of birds broken by Eastern team, 5,346; total
by Western team, 5,440. The West thus led in the totals by
93 birds. The nomber of birds shot at by each team was
6.400. Each man who shot in every race Bhot at 1.2S0 birds
in all. Following are the individual totals and averages;

EASTERN TEAM.

H.McMurchy 1,200 1,057 81 1-lf

W. H Wolsaencroft 1,110 1.091 90 11-12

W.E.Perry : 1.200 1,018 84 1-12

H. B. Whitney 1.240 1,099 88 39-65

W.S.Perry 1,200 886 73 5-6

WESTERN TEAM.

C. W. Budd 1,280 1,109 8C41-64

J. A. Rnble 1,280 1 087 85 5-64

R. O. Heikes 1.280 l.u89 871316

C. E. Cahoon 1200 904 75 1-13

J. R. Slice ....1,240 1,136 9119-31

The order of the average for both teams is therefore as fol-
lows: First, Stiee; second, Wolstencroft; third, Whitney:
fourth, McMnrchy; fifth, Heikes; sixth, Budd; seventh,
Ruble; eighth, W. E. Perry; ninth, Cahoon; tenth, W. S.
Perry.

There were absent from matches at different times through
physical debility, on the Eastern team, McMurehy twice, \V.
E. Perry twice, Whitney once; on the Western team, no
absentees from that cause.

The Eastern team won the series. The Western team won
greatest tot.d and first average. It may be asked whether the
matches were hippodromes, since the West came in suspic-
iously strong at the close. The answer is emphatically no.
The boys shot their best throughout.

There is no special Bignilicance in the victory of the East-
ern team. They just won races enough to win the series,
that is all. Their victory is not due to any speoial condit-
ion of guns, loads or members. The teams were abont alike
in main regards.

The loss of the Western team is due to no special cause.
Cahoon has received blame for shooting below his old aver-
age and so for losing the race. Yet we should observe that
Cahoon beat his running mate 18 birds. Cahoon beat W. S.
Perry in 14 races, and was beaten by him in 9 raceB, the
others being ties. How Bhall we then saddle the blame up-
on this member of the Western team? The truth is, that the
victories of the East were usually won in the doubles, and
by a margin of two or three birds or the like. The East nev-
er did give the West such tremendous beatings as it received
from the West. As therefore, it was first odo Western man
and then another that dropped a little and lost a day, it is
only fair to say that any other man of the Western team
might by picking up a little have won the series for his team.
There were three men on the Eastern team who shot very
regularly, and fonr who shot fairly together. On the Western
team there was but one veiy regular Bhootar, the rest being
more spasmodic.

The Western team made the highest score, 191, at Denver.
The two teams tied on the lowest score, 132, ai Claremont,
N J.

There were seven 40 straights made; Wolstencroft 2, Whit-
ney 2, Heikes 2, Slice 1. On several occasions Budd, Wol-
stencroft and others made 39, losing the last bird.

A study of the scores will show that there is not any spec-
ial significance in the winning of the first average, although
the conditions of the two main contestants therefore were
different. Wolstencroft shot a Greener gun and Schultze
powder; Stice shot a Parker gun and American wood pow-
der, Wolstencroft won in the greatest number of races
where he met Stice. The latter never headed Wolstencroft
from Dayton to Philadelphia, Wolstencroft left Cleveland 6
birds ahead of Stice, and skipped two Bhoots, going on to
Philadelphia. It is doubtful whether he intended then to
go on East of Philadelphia, but his friends insisted upon his
doing so. Meantime, for some unknown reason, the Pitts-
burg race was shot at Harrisburg. The conditions were goodt
and Stice put up two 38 scores while Wolstencroft was ab-
sent. At Philadelphia, under the same conditions, Stice beat
Wolstencroft so much as to lead him one bird. At New York
the weather beiDg so extremely unfavorable, that out of
twenty of the best trap shots in the country only two, and
one ot them Wolstencroft, made so high a score as 30 out of
40, Stice announced his intention of not shooting, as he had
alriady shot two races more than Wolstencrofi. He therefore
started for New Hav*>n, and was back again in the evening
by the time the boys had returned from the shoot. Had be
shot in the high wind of Claremont day, it is fair to suppose
that he would have been closa around 30, one side or the
other.

At New Haven, where Stice changed his mind and Bhot,
Wolstencroft beat him three birds. At BoBton Stice came out
ahead one bird. Supposing Stice had shot at Claremont, as
every one wished him to do, and had tied Wolstencroft's
score, the public may then Bee how very close would have
been the averages, and what a pretty contest of skill, man
against mem, it would have been right up to the end. It was
no question of guns. Stice shot too good a gun to need fear
to shoot it at Cldremont or anywhere else. The public was
interested in the contest, and would have been gladder had
each man skippf d no Bhoot at all. but had done his sports-
manlike best, win or lose. That was ali the fun there was
in it, and all the Fignificance there was to it. The public
likes good shooting immensely more than good figuring, but
it is duty that the public, close watcher as it is of both the
shooting and the figuring, should be in possession of all the
facts, so that it may be fair in its judgment. It may be paid
that Stire had a right to shoot only as many races as Wol-
stencroft. Let the public study abont that and decide- It
may be said that Stice conld have won anyhow. That IB it.
He robbed himself and his gnn of an absolute privilege when
he failed to shoot at Claremont, win or lose, when his oppo-
nent was on the ground ready to meet him. He robbed him-
self and his gun of the chance for the glory of an unreserved
and unqualified victory. That was a mistake. It will not
please the public so much as if he had won cleanly, clearly,
fearlessly, shooting his best, win or lose. That was the only
way to dein a race like this, and to point out what exeusesor
justifications there were for domg otherwise adds no signifi-
cance to the winning in the eyes of the sportsmen of Amer-
ica, who best of all like good and plucky shooting. The facie
have now been given.

The styles of Stice and Wolstencroft at the trap are very
different. Stice is deliberate, steady, cool, erect, graceful
and strong looking as he scores. He extends his left arm well
and has not far to go to find his bird, but shoots deliberate-
ly. Wolstencroft is erect, nervy-looking, and quick as a cat.
He shoots his birds yaris and yards closer in than Stice,
and it is indeed simply marvelonB how he can get on to them
bo quickly. He needs steady, regular pulling, for he hardly
calls "pall" before he shoots. There is no shooter in Amer-
ica wbo compares with bim in quickness and brilliancy. His
race is so risky and difficult that it almost puta one in sus-
pense to see him Bhoot, and the relief nearly always comes
in the form of involuntary applause.

Whitney, the gritty and good natured "boy wonder," shot
the biggest gun of the party. He shoots his birds just before
the top of the flight, and is a good one. For Harvey, Roll,
Charlie, there is no need to Bay anything. All the boys
know these boys.

A correspondent anticipates part of this report by asking
details as 10 traps, loads, etc. To repeat: The traps were
three, uosoreened, order determined ly lot; a broken piece
not shot, not to give the shooter the same trap again. The
rice was shot one man down, alternating teams, thrfce birds
per man. rapid firing system not used, angles all known, but
traps unknown. The birds were thrown low and hard.

Two weeks ago we used an article about the "Townseods
Junco" which originally appeared in "Zoe" a scientific journ-
al recenlly established in this city and edited by Mr. Frank
H Vas'it. It was our iniention to notice "Zoe'* in an espec-
ial paragraph, but through inadvertcene it was not done, and
credit for tbe copied article was consequently omitted. We
regret the fact.

"California Belle" Dead.

Mr. E. M. Arthur writes from Portland, Or., that his noted
red setter bitch California Belle died last week, the cause
being some poisonous material picked from a barrel of
refuse. Mr. Arthur adds: "Though past her usefulness for
hunting, I was much attaohed to her, and regret her death."
Her late owner is not without sympathy. Old Belle had a
various and rather singular life. Whelped in this city on
December 12, 1879, she was originally owned by Mr. Geo. A.
Story, who turned her over to Mr. John B. Maynard, at that
time shooting ducks for market on Sherman Island. Mr.
Maynard kept the frowzy little red lump of fat with him for
ninny months, until sufficient growth had been made to
determine the fact that the form of the setter was to be excel-
lent, and her courage and hunting instinct unusually good-
Then, in '81 or '82, being about to enter other business in
which he could not well care for the dog, he turned htr over
to the writer, who broke her and won with her in the Gilroy
Field Trials, and those of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club.
After her last win, in '84 or 'So, Bhe was sent to Mr. Arthur,
who has hunted her on grouse, quail, snipe and ducks ever
since.

Belle littered sixty-five puppies to various sires, her best
being those sired by Kaeding's Duke. Many of trie puppies
developed into good dogs, and some of them show very good
qaality. For nose, staying power, indomitable courage, ex-
cellence as a retriever, and general comfort as a shooting
companion. Belle had few equals. Sbe could not be kept
down in flesh, being a greedy eater, but despite hergrossness,
would trundle along all day in upland shooting, aid never
tiiooh at the longest and coldest day on the marsh. We hope
Mr. Arthur has some of her progeny as good as their dam.

ways be foand some of our dogs {situated at 2922 Pine St.).
Yon note our specialty on the card, which we desire to call
the attention of the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman
to. We also take dogs to board and train at very reasonable
figures. We have just aboot completed onr kennel, that is,
erecting new houses and fencing the dog quarters off, and
shall be ready to invite those who are desirous of seeing and
inspecting the kenDels on or about the first of May. The
writer extends a private invitation to you to accompany him
at any time to visit the place. We have at present quite a
number of promising pups on hand for saie, also a well
broken water spaniel out of Senator Pinder's stock.
Hoping you will bear us in mind, I remain

San Francisco, April 21st, 1890.

Mr. George W. Bassford had two fine beagles accidentally
poisoned a few days ago. They were Duffer (Bannerman
Jr.— Daisy 2d) and Dolly (Drive— Countess).

A subscriber wishes a "Newfoundland pop, or a dog of
some large Bpecies." Any reader who may have what is
wished, will favor both himself and this office by letting the
tact be known.

A noteworthy project in a peculiar way is the etablishment
at BolinaB of a pointer breeding plant- Pointers will be the
specialty of the kennel, but other dogs will be bred and dogs
will also be taken to board.

1 San Francisco exhibitors in the Los Angeles Dog Show,
should remember that the entries close on the 1st of May,
and canDot be received later. Also that the express company
nsports dogs at half rates.

Mr. George W. Bassford sends a handsome photograph of
his pointer bitch Blossom by Glen B.— Josie Bow. Blossom
is one of the best formed dogs of the breed ever shown in the
State and is besides a fine field performer.

Mr. A. B. Truman (Elcho Kennels, San Francisco) has sold
to Captain A. B. Anderson, San Gabriel Cal., two pointer
puppies a dog and a bitch, whelped March 17, 1890, by Point
(Vandevorts Don— Drab) ex Queen Croxteth {Rush T— Patti
Croxteth T.)

Mr. W. P. Lawlor, of the Olympic Club, is going in for
Scotch terriers, having already secured a fine specimen, and
applied for admission to the Pacific Kennel Club. He has a
fine site for a kennel at his country residence near Tamalpais
Station, Marin County.

Mr. Richard Foote, of the histrionic profession in San
Francisco, is the owner of a rarely good mastiff of pure breed-
ing and great quality. His dog has been bred to Mr. E. F.
Preston's superb Actress, winner at both Pacifio Kennel Clnb
shows. The puppies will be in demand.

Every one of the cross country runners of the Olympic and
Alpine Athletic Clubs should own a finely bred fox-terrier, or
one of the rough-haired terriers, and take his companion
with him on the country jaunts. A deal of excitement and
sport would result when the dogs chanced to take the trail of
a wild cat, raocoon or fox, and the runs would be sustained
at better pace, for the interest incident to watching the freaks
of the four-footed athletes.

An unusually large and fine Harlequin Great Dane has
recently been brought to the city by Mr. Joseph D. Calegaris.
The dog must stand thirty-two and one-half or thirty-three
inches, and weigh near one hundred and eighty pounds. He
is in the stud, but has not been much used heretofore.

Mr. McNabb, Assistant-manager of the Occidental Hotel of
this city, has recently received from Southern California a
very fine twelve months- old mastiff puppy. The dog weighs
one hundred and twenty-seven pounds, is an upstanding,
well-formed, well coated, well-masked and able animal.

Entries to the Southern California Kennel Club Show at
Los Angeles, on May 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, are coming in
in gratifying numbers. About two hundred dogs will be
benched, among them many rare good ones. Several San
Francisco kennels will send down dogs, which can be done at
half the nsual express rates.

Mr. Richard P. Barr of Sacramento has been in San Fran-
cisco during the week, partly on business and partly to look
about among the owners of large dogs with a view to buying
something. The short-sightednoss of local breeders in not
advertising their kennels made it difficult to find them, but
some great Danes, mastiffs and Leonbergs were seen.

We are told by Mr. T. J. Watson, of this city, that a New
Yorker, who also has business interests here, Mr, George
J. Harley has purchased and intends to bring to the coast
the Eoglish setter Dan Gladstone by Gladstone — Sue. We
know Dan very well, and while not perhaps the best Glad-
stone pup alive, he is yet a dog of great quality, and will be a
most desirable sire.

Mr. H. T. Payne, President of the Southern California
Kennel Club, together with Mr. F. H. Heald, of Elsinore,
called at this office on Thursday last. Mr. Payne, as is usual
with him in behalf of any enterprise into which he goes, is
full of enthcsiasm about the coming dog show at Los An-
geles. He is anxious to have a good number of visitors and
exhibitors from the northern portion of the State and we hope
he may be gratified.

In sending notices of visits in Kalamazoo, Mich , Mr. Ben
O, Bush, of that city, addB:

"I look over your columns devoted to the dog and gun
with interest each week and notice that you have many good
dogs and tine shots in California. I presume my old friend
John O Cadman, President of the Blue Rock Club, shoots in
his snap, bang, happy go luoky style as of old, when he and
I tramped the fields together."

Captain A. B. Anderson whose place, The Grange, near
San Gabriel, Los Angeles County, is well known, has been
in San Francisco for ten days purchasing the best dogs of
various breeds that he could find. He has secured some
pointers from Mr. A. B. Truman, some fox terriers from Mr,
J. B. Martin, a sable collie from Mr. McFadden, some great
Danes from Mr. NahL, and is examining other dogs with a
view to purchasing. He buys with excellent jadgment and
haB the nucleus of a very fine dog breeding kennel. All of
his dogs will be shown at Los Angelea in May.

Major J. M. Taylor, Manager of the American Shooting
Association has recently been in correspondence with locaj
trap shots, with a view to organizing a great tournament
under the rules and auspices of the Association, sometime
during the coming Fall.

A dog fancier who chanced to learn of the Major's possi-
ble presence here, suggested that a dog show be organized
for about the same time and that he be invited to judge the
dogs. The suggestion was conveyed to Major Taylor wh0
replies, 'Tt would give me great pleasure to be on the Coast
during the Bench Bhow, and if it was the pleasure of the So-
ciety, to judge for them."

Requests for entry blanks for the next field trial derby,
which closes on June 1st, are coming in such numbers as
to indicate considerable interest. Mr. Albert Peri, of Marys-
ville, will make two entries. Mr. J. W.Harper of Suiaun
has a good one. Mr. A. B. Truman has two. Mr. F. B.
Dexter of Fresno will enter Annie Rooney and Beautiful
Language. After the last trials Mr. Geo. W. Bassford ex-
pressed himself rather discouraged and displeased with cer.
tain peculiarities of the stakes run in this State during the
three or four years last passed, but we hope he will pull
himBelf together and make some entries. Mr. P. D.Lin-
ville states that he has an entry. Mr. Ramon E. Wilson has
one, and the list might be lengthened. Those making en-
tries should bear in mind the fact that not one will be re-
ceived, under any circumstances, unless accompanied by a
forfeit of $5.

One day last week was passed at Santa Clara, by invitation
of Mr. C. W. Wilson, of this city. Mr. James Sanderson was
also of the party. The prime object of the visit was to look
at the litter by Kittle's Luke (Carl R.— Bessie) ex- Wilson's
Jennie (Dick— Belle). The pups, bix dogs and a bitch, were
whelped on April 2d, and are so notable in blood as to justify
even a hard trip to see them. As it was, a two hours ride to
Santa Clara, through gieen fields, budding orchards, and
flowery meads, seemed to occupy but a few minutes. Then
a home- breakfast prepared in most deft fashiun, and with
unequalled skill, by the lady of the house. Finally a chance
*o see the puppies. All of them of good size, fat, sturdy and
clean; all but one nicely marked in blaok, white and tan. In
bo far as such young dogs can show beauty and quality, the
litter is one than which no better has been bred within our
observation. One of the pups is marked much like the
Memphis and Avent Kennel's famous Chance, being black on
one side of the head and muzzle and white on the other.
The youngsters will go into the hands of trainers as soon as
they are old enough, and will be heard from, barring acci-
dent, in the field trials.

In response to a query as to what fox-terriers were now in
his kennel, Mr. J. B. Martin, of this city, writes:

* 'I have one bitch nine months old, all white, by Clover
Turk (Mixture — Spite), out of Beatrice (Champion Bacchanal
—Blemton Arrow) No. 13830 A. K. C. S. B. Clover Turk won
first prize puppy 1886, New York. Beatrice is dam of Clover
Patch, winner first at Los Angeles and other good ones. This
white bitch Golden Lilly is a beauty, and probably the best
bitch here at present. Sbe has killed two rats. I have also
six pups, three bitches and three dogs, two all white, the
balance marked very nicely with black and tan markings.
These pups are out of Beatrice (see above) and by Blemton
Vesuvian (Champion Lucifer — Blemton Vesta by Resolute —
Belgrave Viola by Belgrave Joe). Resolute by Champion
Result — Champion Diadem. This is the best fox-terrier
blood, coming from the best winning dogs of the day, and
these pups should turn Gut to be something exlra. I have
been to a great deal of bother and trouble breeding to Vesu-
vian. Both Eeatrice and Clover Turk, also Vesuvian, are
good ratters, and I have seen Beatrice go to ground and
hunt for hours. Vesuvian is also a nailiog good terrier, be-
ing handsome and a useful dcg.

Fishing Notes.

Trout fishing has been fairly good this season considering
the large amount of water in the different streams. Some
good catches have been made in San Antonio, Adobe, Olema
and Paper Mill creeks. El Hedges and Will Harris hooked
a couple of baskets full in the latter stream one day last
week.

Fred Ellsworth returned to this city Sunday evening after
a couple of day's fishing in Mark West creek. Fred says he
caught SO or 800, he was not sure which, and a dog-face sal-
mon.

Joe Bernhard is one of the most enthusiastic followers of
Isaac Walton in our city. One day recently, armed with
his trusty split-bamboo, a bent pin. and two fish-worms, be
Bpent several hours in luring the ounning trout from the
dark recesses of its watery borne. The result of his day's
sport was one water-dog and two bites that he did not catch
on account of having on high rubber boots. At least that is
what "Doc" says and he wouldn't lie about it.

Sam Hopkins and Captain Gould leave to-morrcw for a
couple of day's fishing in Olema creek.

Joe Bernhard says that Harry Maynard caught 230 trout
the other day in the B-street s9wer.

McGinty was caught for a sucker on April fool's day.

The two Jims and Joe were out after a mess of the speck-
led beauties the other day. Big Jim carried the bait and
snake medicine, and his two companions were to do the fish-
ing. Thoy soon located a turtle's trail, and had followed it
up a distance when Joe imagined he had been bit by a snake,
and he turned to taka a dose of the preventive, bat Jim was
missing. The two fishers bold then did seme dry b'shirg
for a couple of hours and finally caught Jim asleep under a
pepper-wood tree. But sad to relate the medicine bottle was
empty. — Petaluma Imprint.

The fish markets of San Francisco during these days are
not uninteresting. Halibut in auy desired numbers, and in
weight from eight to thirty-five pounds. Clean, fat aalmon
of any size. Green cod eighteen inches long, and from that
to three feet, freshly caught, and as sweet as any fish that
swims are in plenty Splendid shad at nominal prices. Red
rock cod. black rock cod, craw fish, flounders, soles, smelts,
anchovies, sardines, perch, striped bass, shrimps, crabs,
oyst< rs, clams of several sorts, trout, salmon trout, king tisb,
pin fish, pompano, sturgeon, hard mouths, eels, blaok bass,
skates, and other sorte, might be found in one or another of
the markets by any early riser who strolls through them.
The bass, trout, pin fish, and others of the more rare and
choice kinds, disappear from the Blalla soon after being
exposed for sale, the purchasers being the clubs and the higb-
priced restaurants, but at any hour, all but the most fastidi-
ous tastes may be gratified at a small outlay.

Grim's Gossip.

When Flambeau won the Paciiic Derby, the result was
telegraphed to the Eastern pres*. but with their Uaual perspir-
acity, the papers we have seen, show, Racine first, Flambeau
Becond.

Mr Eldy's colt, of which mention was made last week, is
not by Pasha 2:36. but by Pasha 2:273. be by Echo 462. The
mistake waB made owing to there being two stallions of the
same name.

George Siarr has taken the Badd Doble string from Fresno
and if not already at Terre Haute is nearly there. The horses
have all wintered well and left the Southern city in the beBt
of condition.

Marvin will start during the first week in nest month for
tbe Eist, and Hickok will also make a move in the same di-
rection on about the same time. Terre Haute is the objective
point of both drivers.

The well known "Dagworth" will represent the Breeder
and Sportsman at the Sacramento raceBand our readers may
rely on a bright newsy account of the spring meeting at the
Capital City, in the next issue.

Although Mr. Rose has disposed of the running qualities
of Stnfax, it is generally understood that he did not forget to
baok the Wildidle colt in the mud race, and made a very hand-
some profit for the money invested.

Marcus Daly, who has spent most of the winter in the East,
relarnei to Anaconda a few days ago, and there is a Btrong
probability that another trainer and driver will be secured for
the trotting horses which have wintered at the Bitter Boot
Ranch.

The question will soon be asked, "What horse will win the
Charter Oak $10,000 stake in 1890?" Heretofore it was won
by Director 2:17, Harry Wilkes 2:13i, Joe Davis 2:17f, Oli-
ver K 2:16}, Patron 2:14J, Spofford 2;18|, and Aleryon2:15£.
What horse will win it this year?

We have received the firBt number of Goodwin's Turf
Guide for the current year and as usual it is full of useful
information to the frequenters of the track. It contains all
the summaries of races run from January 1st to April 12th
and is very oomplete in other respects.

It may not be generally known that Mrs. Wabh names
nearly all the thoroughbreds on the Palo Alto Stock Farm,
bnt such is the case, and it is to that lady is due the pretty
names that grace so many of the faBt runners that Henry
Walsh brings yearly before the public.

On Wednesday evening Alfred S. threw up his his head in
the stall which he occupies, and striking against one of the
rafters, scalped bis head, tearing a large piece of skin from
the pall. The injury is not a serious one, but will discom-
mode the fast gelding for some few days.

E. F. Nash, of Deer Lodge, who has been driving the horses
of S E. Lirabie, has hired out to C. X. Larrabee, and will
remain in Montana another year. Nash has driven quite a
number into the 2:30 list, and is sure to increase his score
with the material now at his command.

"Cap" Matthews was credited last week with having pur-
chased a stallion from Mr. Sargent of Gilroy, it should have
bten ' black geldiDg from J P. Sargent of Sargents Station.
Gilroy or Sargents, it makes no difference to the speed of
the horse, for he is a fast one on the road.

There is no reason to doubt. but that the new section of
the Hearst stable which starts Eist next week, will be very
successful, as there is good material to work on, and Dona
than will fee that the horses come to the post in good con-
dition. The stable will be under the management of George
Van Gordon.

Jockey Barnes will have to report to the Santa Anita Stable
at oDce, be having received orders to that effeot from E. J.
Ba'dwin. "Ptkey" haB been riding for the Avondale stable
at New Orleans and Memphis, and expected to stay with them
for sime weeks longer, but Mr. Baldwin has spoiled the plans
of the demon jock.

Ij. A. Davits, owner of Boy Wilkes, started on MoDday for
Monterey to take a look at the marvelous beauty of that gar-
den r-pot, preparatory to continuing hi? j >urney toward the
rising sun. The gieat paciog station will be taken in the
Hick >k car when that gentleman starts Eut, probably about
the first week in May.

It is now in order for Mr. J. I. Case, to promise a reduc-
tion in the records of Pballis and Brown. Last November I
saw Phallis do two "workoutVand must confess that I think
there is a lot of speed still left in the old stallion. He would
make a good antagonist for Palo Alto and Bonnie McGregor,
providing Axtell does not start.

Some strange pedigrees come to this office at times, and
among them is the following which is given Verbatum:

St. Loiub' dam Kentucky Eclipse, dam sired by Belmont
and Glencoe, sired by St Louis, dam by Pet and sired bv
Modoc Chief, Modoc Chief sired by Spector, Spector by Don-
erel, Douerel by Lexington.

Although a little out of thp line of horse news, it may not
he out of place to notify my readers that A. L. Whitney of
Pe'aluma sustained a severe loss last week by the sinking
of a large fchocner, that was consigned to A. L. Whitney &
Co., loaded with barley. The schooner was partly owntd
by Mr. Whitney, and was not insured.

Cy Mulkey will not race at Sacramento during the meet-
ing there, but will take bis horses to Portland in time to take
part in the meeting there. From Portland, Cy will wend bis
wayEistward to Montana, wbere he will participate in the
circuit. There are several good horses in the Mulkey Btring,
and they will all take a deal of beating.

At the Agricultural Park, Petaluma, this afternoon, there
will be a trotting race between five local horses for a bet of
harness, offered as a premium by a firm in the town. The
starters will be, A. N. Borrell's b m Daisy S, Louis Hoppy's
s m Annie Laurie, A. J. Robinson's b h Fat Boy, B. Boman's
g g Chapo and W . P. Fine's b r Wizard.

C. E. Needbam. one of the Directors of the Stockton Fair,
paid me a visit a few days ago, and reports the yonng stock
at Belotta inBnperb condition. Mr. Needbam also says that
he will have Steve Wbippie 2:23, sent for a fast record this
year and I am glad to hear it, for every hoTs*man in the
State knows the stallion is capable of beating 2:16.

During the late meeting I had a chance to see several
Prince oi Norfolk colts, and a more raoy lot were never looked
at. This same impression evidently has become a settled
conviction in the minds of many horsemen, for many first
class mares have been booked to the son of Norfolk during
the past few weekB. Among others, Ida Glenn, the fast
sprinter has already received his embraces.

MaprE. Hunter of Denver has started homeward from
Fresno, taking with him his late purchase, Antevideo by An-
tevolo, dam Linden Belle by Mambrino Wilkes 6083, 2nd
dam by Chieftain 721, etc. The colt was bred by S N.
Straube, by whom he waB sold to the Major. This colt from
his breeding should be able to show plenty of trot, and it is
to be hoped that he will be given a chance to.

Genial "Knap" McCarthy has finally sold his fleet footed
trotting mare Geneva S. for a Bum said to be $15,000. The
Edgewood Stock Farm, of Terre Haute, Indiana, are the pur-
chasers and a right good bargain they have made. The mare
has only a record of 2:19J, but the number of times she could
have beaten 2:16 last season, would almost prove that each
of the 2:20 purses and stakes are at her meroy.

On the most successful breeding farms it is found profita-
ble to employ a specialist to make an occasional thorough ex-
amination of the mouths of all the animals on the place. The
high bred stock at Palo Alto and the San Mateo Stock Farm
has recently received such attention from Dr Wutkins, the
well known veterinary deDtist, who treated professionally
140 head at the former and 27 head at the latter place.

Tom Murray, who for several years has been in the employ
of Orrin A. Hickok, will branch out for himself this season,
and will be located at Petaluma, where he will train a Btable
of horses, quite a number of gentlemen haviDg signified a de-
sire to have Tom train and drive for them. Hickok is a first
class mentor, so that the new comer should bring a lot of
practical experience into the field where he proposes starting.

Quite a number of persons have asked the question, who
will drive Stamboul, 2:12J, if Hickok goes East, Beemingly
thinking that Orrin will remain away loo long to condition
the great stallion. But tbe old driver will be back in plenty
time to hand Mr Hobart's horse, as Bochester is the last
meeting that he will attend east of the Rockies, and then he
will hasten back to assiBt in lowering the record of the fleet
son of Sultan,

W. E. Campbell purchased the stallion now known as
Campbell's Electioneer from L. TJ Shippee of Stockton, for a
comparatively small price, but he thinks so much of the
young horse, that a few days ago he refused the munificent
offer of $30,000 for him, the offer coming from some Europe-
an parties. This goes to show that even across the broad
Atlantic, the merits of California stock is now recognized,
and thsrefore a new market opons np for onr breeders.

Last ypar Richmond Jr., the gelding owned by Lee Rose,
made additional reputation for his sire, A. W. Richmond, by
trotting to a record of 2:22|. When the thoroughbreds of
the Eosemeade Stable start East, after tbe Sacramento meet-
ing, Richmond Jr. will accompany them, where he goes to re-
ceive the handling of Jimmy Goldsmith, who will take him
through tbe "big" circuit this season. Richmond Jr , in the
hands of Buch a driver, should lower his mark to 2:17 or bet-
ter.

I had a long chat a few days ago with John B. McCormick,
who for many years has been known to the readers of sport-
ing journals by his writings, which he always signs "Macon."
Bro. McCormick iB an able and instructive writer on all mat-
ters of a Bporting nature, and while in California he will viBit
Palo Alto, San Mateo, Pleasauton and many other sections,
to try and gain a lesson or two on the science of breeding.
We bespeak a cordial reception on all the farms for "Mac,"
and tender him the hospitality of our sanctum.

W. H. E Smith of Rohnerville has purchased the ch. h.
LoDgshot, four years old, by Duke of Norfolk, dam by
Langford, from J. T. McBride of Sacramento, price $2,500.
This is another valuable addition to the Smith stable which
now includes Al Farrow, Susie S , and Longshot, with a
chance of one or two youngsters being bought before long.
After the Sacramento meeting. St. Louis, Kansas City, and
Chicago will be visited. and as Frank Du Pojster will be in
charge, the horses will be fit to run when sent to the p:st.

The Twin City Jockey Club has followed Secretary Brew-
ster's lead and engaged J. J. Burke as presiding jadge at
their meeting, which will follow that of the Washington Park
Club. Judge Burke is also consideriug a call frnm the Over-
land Park Club, and may possibly appear in the stand at
Kansas City. With an experience dating back to the early
seventies, when the late Cbarles Foster wielded the most
powerful pen in tbe school of turf journalism, Judge Burke
has a spotless record, and odjovs the confidence of the pub-
lic.

Unless Senator Stanford can secure the servioes of a first
cIsbb driver and trainer, there is small chance of the Palo
Alto colors being seen on California tracks this season. It
was confidently expected that Dustin would drive iheir trot-
ters, but as he haB left Palo Alto, and Marvin is going East,
there is no one to take charge of the stock on the looal cir-
cuit. Mr. Ariel Lathrop thinks that |Marvin can secure the
services of Buch a person as is needed when he goes to Ter-
re Haute, and if he can, Palo Alto will not hesitate to em-
ploy him.

A Brooklyn horse lately Buffered an injury to one of his
feet, and for some time traveled on three legs. Finally the
wound was perfectlj healed, but still the animal refused to
put that hoof on the ground. A veterinary surgeon was
called in, who made an examination and then pronounced it
simply a case of nervousness. "Strap up the other hind
foot and yon'll see," he said. This was done, aDd tbe injured
foot was thus forced into use. It did not take a block's
travel to show tbe horse that his nervous fears were ground-
less, and when the strap was removed he trotted off squarely
on four feet.

Mr. William Boyd, the well-known hotse-shoer has re-
moved from San Francisco, and is now located in Stockton.

Deer Lodge New North- West; A most exciting horse face
has been arranged between W. I. HigginB and M. S. Parker,
to come off on the 19th of April. The bet of Mr. Higgins la
that Deer Lodge Girl v. ill beat the dark gray horse belonging
to Mr. Parker, a race starting at the stable of Ward, Lodge
& Co., on Main street, in Debr Lodge, and ending at the res-
idence of James O'Donnell, on tbe road to Champion, a dis-
tance of twelve miles. The race will be up hill all the way.
The horses go to buggies, each buggy to contain two persons.
Tbe judge of Higgins Bits with Mr. Parker and the judge of
Parker sits with Higgins. The race will start promptly at 10
o'clock. Mr. Higgins bets 3000 shares of American Baby
against the bay mare "Belle," belonging to Mr. Parker, and
these are also the forfeits in case either refuses to make the
race.

The reading public are all more or less tinged with curiosity
and many are anxiouB to know how much was won by each
of the different stables, during the Blood Horse Meeting. The
amounts given are probably in excess of what each party re-
ceived, as forfeits have to be deducted ont, bat horses in the
various stables have won as follows: Palo Alto Stable, $4,-
340; L. J. Eose, $1,600; Undine Stable, $1,590: W. H. E.
Smith $940; George Hearst, $750; Kellv & SamueH $585;
W. L. Appleby, $450; Dennisou Stable, $450; P. Siebentha-
ler, $400; Cy Mulkey, $360; M. Storn, $350; W. George, $350;
C. Foster. $300; J. T. McBridge, $300; Orange Grove Stable,
$290; P. Herzog, $175; W. L. Whitmore, $140; Owen Bros.,
$100; H. I. Thornton, $75; W. M. Murry, $74: H. D. Miller,
$50: Elmwood Stable $35.

The stockholders of the Stanislaus County Stock Breeders'
Association met Saturday afternoon at Maze & Abbott's office
and perfected a permanent organization, says the Modesto
News. The following members were elected Directors: A. L.
Cressey, Thos. Wallace, J. J. Dolan, L. A. Bichardp, J. W.
Davison, R. M. Wilson and L. B. Walthall. The Board or-
ganized by electing A. L Cressey, President; L. B. Walthall,
Secretary, and F. A. Cre&sey, Treasurer. By-laws were
adopted, and an order made for the payment of twenty per
cent, of the stock subscribed on or before May7th, at3 o'clock
p. M., to the Treasurer at the Modesto Bank. The Presi-
dent and Secretary were instructed to procora the services of
a surveyor and secure estimates for a mile track eighty feet
wide, and report at a meeting to be held next Monday at 1
o'clock P. M.

Some difficulty has been experienced between ' The Circuit
tracks and tbe Helena Directors, in Montana, about the time
each should have, and bitter war has been carried oo, which
finally resulted in Helena being left ont in tbe cold as regards
dates. From the Anaconda Review we learn that the Secre-
tary of the Helena Association last week wrote to E W.
Wynne, Secretary of tbe Butte Association, asking if some
arrangements cannot be made to avoid the conflict of dates
for the fall meetiog. Mr. Wynne replied that the matter ia
one which concerns the whole circuit and therefore suggested
a meeting of the Secretaries of the various associations at
Anaconda, for last Saturday, for tbe amicable arrangement of
tbe difficulty. It is probable that the Anaconda, Butte and
Helena meeting will be cut to eight days, which arrangements
will allow ample time for admitting Helena to the regular
circuit. When the mail arnveB we will have full particulars
as to how the meeting resulted.

Harry J. Agnew has at last secured a breeding farm, which
he is confident will rill the bill. The place is situated five
miles from Sin Jose on the Monterey road, aud was formerly
called tbe Senter Banch. It contains in tbe neighborhood of
two hundred acres, of which fifty acres will be put in alfalfa,
Mr. Agnew being a believer in the fattening qualities of tbat
succulent grass. Already twenty broodmares have been
secured, many of them choics individuals, and all of them
rich in producing trotting blood. Here it is that Dawn, 2:18},
will be taken on his retirement from Mr. Whitney's stud, and
from his young get, it is natural to assume that he will have
every opportunity afforded him to make a name for himself
as a great producing sire. Mr. Agnew took possession of the
farm yesterday morning, and will at once begin many altera-
tions, which are deemed necessary, to place the ranoh ou an
equality with the already prosperous ones of which there are
bo many in California.

In view of the large number of additions to the 2:30 list
each year, it iB a very common thing to hear the remark tbat
a 2;30 horse is not of much account any more, and that un-
less a horse can beat 2:20 at least three times it is not worth
while to Btartout with him says the Indiana Horseman. We:
admit that there is a great deal of significance and quite a
good deal of truth in these remarks, and yet when we come
, to take individual sires and see the very small number of
contributions they make to the 2:30 list in proportion to tbe
whole number of colts sired by them, and, on the other hand1
when we come to count up the number of 2:30 horses that;
have been raised by breeders of our own immediate acquain-|
tance, we are forced to believe that after all it is no very
small matter to produce even 2:30 performers. Again, when*
we talk so glibly about 2:20 horses being tbe onk ones
worthy of our attention, we seem to forget that although the.
2:20 list is each year growing, there are just nineteen horses,
living and dead that have ever contributed three cr more
trotters to that list. We were forcibly struck with a remark,
recently made to us by Mr. Brodhead, of the Woodburni
Farm. He said: "A man does not know how hard it is to
raise even a 2:30 trotter until he has tried it."

[

Mr. L. A. Bichards has started an innovation which is
well worthy of imitation by tbe trotting horse brederB in
other sections of the State. Wishing to show what speed
his young colts have, a general invitation was extended to
all who wished to visit tbe home of Elector, and on the
afternoon of the day selected a large company assembled
and witnessed what the stock could do. M«ny trotters were
driven and excellent time shown. The affair was a great
success, and those who were present speaa in the higheBt
manner of the way in which they were treated by Mr.
Richards.

C. 0. Seaman of San Diego, has r ceived an interesting let-
ter from W. J, Gordon of Gordon Glens, near Cleveland,
Ohio, says the San Diegau. It will be remembered tbat some I
time Bgo Mr, Seaman bought two colts from Mr. GordoD,
the coltB being Thomas Rysdyk by Rysdyk, the sire of Chug-*
stone 2:14, and JoBiah A , by Clingstone II, a full brother to
Clingstone.

In regard to Clingstone II., Mr. Gordon says he has been* .'■■'■
given regular work tbiB winter, and has developed intoapj *;
grand horse. Saunders, the trainer, claims a 2.20 gait foi '■''■',]
him, and is confident tbat he can be made to go a mile this
season in 2:25. 'If I was ten or fifteen years younger," sayt
Mr. Gordon, I would put Clingstone II. at the head of f
stock farm, and be disappointed if great results did not ful
low."

Mr.,Gordon has been driving Guy 2:10 and Clingstone 2:Kj
as a te'am, and Bays they are the most perfect fast team fi<
ever rode alter, and intimates that they may be sent to bea1
the reoord this season. Individually they have the speed t(
do it.

E. B. Gifferd, the owner of Atto Rex, will have quite a sta
ble on tbe coast circuit this season. Besides Bex be will bavi
two colts by A. W. Richmond and a mare by Echo. HeeX
pects to put Bex in training at Coronado Beich in tbe onr*
of a week.

Many of the colts for this fall's racing are being driven,
and they all look well and act like trotters. Harry Stamboul
looks as much like his sire as a yearling can look, and he is
the proudest and purest gaited colt I have ever seen. News
comes from Lompoc that the Bashaw colts are wonders, and
Mr. Rucker writes that his yearling by Rucker is a marvel,
and that he has a first mortgage on the race.

J. M. Rochin, who has been in the horse business for
twenty years, is certain that his colts will carry the purse to
Los Alamos, and Santa Maria says that the Electro colts can
not be outtrotted. It is to be regretted that no colt by Glen-
wood by Nutwood has been entered.

At the Agricultural Meeting this fall there will be a grand
running race of five-eighths of a mile for two-year-olds. At
least ten colts will start in the race. The favorites here for
the race are, J. Cooper's Solano, E. R. Den's Sugar Plum,
the Arrellanes colt and G. Sherman's black gelding.

Races and a grand barbaque at Los Alamos on the 1st of
May; but they have barred all horses from our city. Why
so selfish? T. M.

Santa Barbara, April 19, 1890.

Flaxtail 8122.

We do not know personally anything about the horse
mentioned below, but as the Flaxtail blood plays a promi-
nent part in many Californian pedigrees, we republish the
following, taken from an Eastern exchange:

H. H. P. Oscaloosa, Iowa. — Can you tell me anything
about a horse called Bull Pup, owned at one time by Jesse
A. Mitchell of Bedford, Ind.? What did Mr. Mitchell do
with the horse? I think he is the same horse that came here
m 1863 or 1864. He is registered as Flaxtail 8122. This
horse was brought here by Mr. Mitchell, who had a lame
arm. and he called the horse Bull Pop. We have written to
Mitchell, and he refuses to answer. This horse's history be-
fore coming here was always kept dark. Give us all the
light you can, aDd oblige many of your readers.

Answer — The Bull Pup owned by Jesse Mitchell of Bed-
ford, Ind., was the old or original owner of that name, son
of old Raolng Pilot. Mr. Mitchell bought him as a five-year-
old, from hia breeder, a few mileB from Louisville, Ky. Tne
Bull Pup that went to Iowa was bred by Newton Wiseman
of Salem, Ind., and sired by old Ball Pap (Jesse Mitchell's),
dam a small, fast, pacing, bay mare of unknown breeding.
In 1864 a brotner of Newton Wiseman, who was half owner
of the sorrel Bull Pup, sold him to Joseph Mitchell of Salem,
and he took him to Iowa. When the Wilson horse, known
generally as Blae Bull 75 (but whose legitimate name was
simply "Sam") was in the zenith of his glory as a sire; the
story was started that the Iowa Ball Pap horse was got by
Pruden's Blue Bull, the falsely reputed sire of the Wilson
horse, and the then owner of Bull Pap Jr changed his
name to "Flaxtail." This yon can rely upon as the true his-
tory and pedigree of the horse now registered under the
name of Flaxtail, which name together with the pedigree at-
tached to it was manufactured out of whole cloth some time
after he was sold to Iowa.

Some time ago a filly of mine, which I value very much,
showed a slight swelling at the back of the ntar hock. The
filly has never worked, and always had the best of care. Her
dam was badly affected with curbs. Will jou inform me if
curbs are heriditary ? Also inform me what is the best treat-
ment to adopt.

Answer.— Your filly is no doubt developing a oarb. Apply
a blister, consisting of Biniodide of Mercury, two drams, to one
ounce of l«d. Carbs are not heriditary. bnt colts maybe
foaled with hocks of a ourby formation, and will readily strain
the ligament and soon become lame from the same.

I have an old grey mare that has discharged from the nose
for about six weeks. People say it is glanders. Myself, I do
not think so What is best to be done?

Answer. — Your best plan would be to take her to a veteri*
nary surgeon; he will tell you whether it is glanders or
otherwise. Personally, I have not seen a case of glanders in
this city, although I believe horses have been destroyed for
that disease.

The Haerein Annual Auction Sale.

The Superintendent of Mr. Haggin's breeding Farm
has engaged the services of Messrs. Killup & Co., live
stock auctioneers, to dispose of at public auction on
Tuesday, May 6, 1890, at the Eailroad Stables, corner of
Steiner and Turk streets, San Francisco, an exceedingly
choice selection of road and harness mares and geldings,
work and draught horses, together with a superb lot of
Shetland ponies. It has usually been the custom of Mr.
Haggin to dispose of the stock as three-year-olds, and
this is the first venture at placing four- year-olds on this
market. It was considered by the gentleman injudicious
to tlace harness and work animals at public auction so
young, there being many exceptions taken by would-be
purchasers, who would rather have older animals, those
ready to put to work at once.

The entire consignment are of average size, good color
and desirable in many particulars. The catalogue con-
tains two hundred and three lots by such stallions as
Norwood, George M. Patchen Jr., 31, Bismarck, "West-
ern, Kentucky, Dana, Charles Dickens, Muldoon, Victor
and Zulu Chief.

Messrs. Killup & Co. have had very neat catalogues
issued, and those desirous of receiving them can obtain
them by addressing the auctioneers at 22 Montgomery
■treet, San Francisco.

Hickery Grove Stock Farm.

"We have received from J. I. Case, of Racine, Wiscon-
sin, his new catalogue for 1890, which from the illustra-
tions aud typographical neatness, makes it one of the
finest we have received this season. Comparing it with
the catalogue of 18S9 we find many additions and as is
only natural, quite a number of eliminations.

In a private letter Mr. Case expresses himself as being
confident that he will have quite a number of young
horses go in the 2:30 list during the present year. In
addition to Phallas 2:13| Brown 2:18|, and Harold
Wilkes we find that one of the stallions is Lexington
Wilkes, another of extreme speed and which for beauty
of form and finish is one ot the heat ever sired by George
Wilkes. He stands 15 hands and 3£inches in height and
weighs 1150 pounds, a quality lacking in many of the
Wilkes family. As a sire of speed, the few colts be has,
promise to make his name familiar to the race going
public.

Quite a number of mares have been added to the new
catalogue, Borne of which are very choice. We find
among them our old favorite Echora 2:23j, dam of Di-
rect 2. 18J; she is also the dam of Erect who trotted as a
yearling several trial quarters in forty seconds, and was
sold at the Kellogg sale to Mr. Hugh Kirkendall, of
Montana, for So,000. As we stated two weeks ago, Echora
foaled on March 17th, a beautiful blaek filly, full sister
to Direct, and has since then been "bred to Phallas broth-
er in blood and race horse fame to Director 2:17, the sire
of all her fillies previous to this date.

Next in order of rank we should piobably name Eliza-
beth, Bister to the dam of Rajah, four-year-old record
2:29£ by George Wilkes out of Snip Nose, the dam of
Garnet 2; 19 by American Clay. Elizabeth had been
bred to Phallas, and will probably be handled for speed
this year.

High wine is another of the likely mares, three years
old by Nutwood 2: 18|, dam Alta 2:23£ by Almont 33;
2nd dam Lady by Bourbon Chief; 3rd dam strictly thor-
oughbred.

Brilliantine is another of the good ones, her record of
2:32$ being made last season; she is by Nutwood, dam
Crepon by Princeps; second dam Crape Lisse by George
Wilkes; this young mare is also in training and will be
given a record, barriDg accidentB. Brilliantine has been
bred to Brown.

Maud Thomas, another of the additions is a black
mare of great individual excellence by Voltaire 2:203.
dam Tullahotoa (the dam of J. B. Richardson 2:17£) by
Almont; sbe is in foal to Almont Wilkes, and will be
bred, later on, to Phallas.

Constance is peculiarly and intensely inbred to Mam-
brino Patchen, and Mr. Case assures us that if inbreed-
ing produces such as she, he feels sorry that he has not
commenced the theory of inbreeding much sooner than
he has. Her sire is EUerslie Wilkes by George Wilkes;
the dam of EUerslie Wilkes is Aileen by Mambrino Boy,
son of Mambrino Patchen. The dam of Constance is
Kincora by Mambrino Patchen; Kincora's dam is Kitty
Tranby by Mambrino Tranby. Coustauce is in foal to
Red Wilkes and is booked for 1890 to the great Wilton
2:10}, through whom we get the double Hambletonian
iDfusion, through bis best son George Wilkes and one of
his greatest dams Alley.

Mr. Case also has in training some seven or eight aged
horBes, and twenty-five or thirty, two and three-year-
olds, all of whom are uDder the supervision of the new
tiainer, Mr. R. E. Curry, who has taken the place of ^

Ed Bither. Mr. Curry is no stranger to the trotting
tracks of America, and bringing as he does, his many
years of experience to Hickery Grove Farm, it can be
confidently asserted that this year there will be many
first class trotters emana'e from Mr. Case's establish-
ment.

Since the catalogue was published Mr. Case has pur-
chased the dark chestnut horse Philander by Pendennis
2:34, full brother to Calamos 2:344; and Geanette trial
2:27, dam Victoiia (the dam of Victoria Wilkes 2:25J).
And now Mr. Case has on his farm all of this mare's oro-
duce, it would seem from the fact that he has purchased
them all, that he is striving to make her family one of
national reputation.

Tiie Rosemeade Stud. -

A few mornings ago we had the pleasure of a visit
from the Hon. L. J. Rose, whose fame as a breeder of
trotters is world-wide. In the course of conversation the
gentleman informed us that be would net hang on very
long to the thoroughbred division if he received many
defeats; in fact as he put it himself, "I cannot stand
many beatings; my disposition will not allow of it."
Mr. Rose is generally supposed to have disposed of all
the trotters in his possession, but this is a mistake, as he
informs us that he has seventeen yearlings by Stamboul
and Alcazar, and also two very good sons of Bob Mason
(he by Echo) out of Almeh, she a daughter of Minneha.
ba. These two stallions Mr. Rose values quite highly,
although they are both non-slandard, still, as he flays
himself, if he finds it necessary to sell out the thorough-
breds, he has a much better nucleus to start with now
than when he originally commenced. As is well known,
Mr. Rose is an ardent believer in inbreeding, and bia
wonderful success in that line has been the means of
making many converts; in fact not very long ago, when
Harry Agnew, who has just bought Dawn, asked the
question of a well known horseman, "What will be the
best mares to breed to Dawn?" the answer was, "Nut-
wood mares by all means." Mr. Rose ^is so fully con-
vinced that his theory is correct that he wants to breed
Stamboul fillies to Alcazar colts and vice versa, and in
such a cross he seems to feel assured that the acme of
perfection can be obtained in the trotter. He is also sat*
isfied that with proper handling Stamboul can beat his
present record of 2: 12£, and, like many others, is confi-
dent that the stallion will improve best with hard work;
he seems to be satisfied in his own mind that if Stamboul
had received more work last season that 2:12 would have
been beaten beyond a doubt.

In addition to the yearlings that Mr. Rose has, there
are also ten broodmares remaining, his reason for not
selling them being, in the first place, that eight of tbem
were not as highly bred as those he disposed of, th« ninth
Minnehaha, he wilt not sell under any consideration, and
the tenth, Almeh, a daughter of Minnehaha, was not in
condition to sell at the time when his consignment waa
sent East.

An Important Sale.

Jqo. G. Hill, Esq., of Ventura, California, will hold a
very important sale on Tuesday, M*y 15th, in this ci'y.
It will consist of about eighty head of well bred stal-
lions, mares and geldings, principally the get of the
celebrated standard bred sire, A. W. Richmond 16S7, out
of thoroughbred mares mostly from that noted horse
Woodburn, sire of Monarch 2:261 and the dam of Victor
2:22 and others. Mr. Hill has determined to close out
all his trotting bred stock and he owns at present nearly
all of the mares in the State that contain Richmond
blood. There should be great competion among the
breeders of this State to secure those that will be offered
at the sale.

A. W. Richmond has stamped himself as a prepotent
Bire, his speed lin°s being of the best and his get have all
proven fast trotters or pacers. Richmond Jr. only lastyear
cameout as a green horse andtrotted to a record of 2:221-
Romero was as game a horse as ever stood on iron, he
gaining a record of 2: 19 J; What Ho 2:29i, we are credi-
bly informed, can trot in 2.20 or better. Arrow, the
celebrated pacer, is another of Richmond's get whose
record of 2:13} is known of all turfmen in America. Ell-
wood 2:17if was another of Richmond's fast get, aud the
old horse should have also received credit for LeD. Rose,
he having trotted a mile in Australia iu 2:27. In addi-
tion to the above A. W. Richmond's name has become
famous by being the sire of the dam of Anteeo 2. 16 £ and
Autevolo (four years) 2, 19 i. We are confident that the
day is not far distant when if Richmond's mares are given
favorable chances that they will prove themselves equal
to any brood mares in the country. This is not an in-
dividual opinion hut is largely shared by every breeder
throughout the State, and we fully expect to find every
breeding farm throughout California represensed at Mr.
Hill's sale.

P. C. T. H. B. A.

Among the maDy events to close on May 1st are two
trotting stake races, five nomination trotting purses, and
two nomination pacing purses which should receive the
attention of all horsemen throughout the State. The
purses are liberal, the payments are easy, and it becomes
the duty of every breeder in the State to support the
efforts now being put forward by this association to for-
ward the trotting-horse interests of California. The con-
ditions are many, but lack of space will not permit us to
givo them entire; those interested can find the advertise-
ment of the association in our advertising department.
It must be born in mind that persons desirous of making
entries in the purses and stakes must become members of
the association, and those who desire to join, can send in
their application for membership to the Secretary, care
of this office. All of the other races filled so well, that
these are sure to receive a likewise liberal support from
the members.

staying qualities, as she got her record in a sixth heat at
Stockton, in 1886 defeating such good ones as Fred
Ackerman, Shaker, Peacock and Mink; she is heavy in
foal to Dexter Prince, and is about due to foal. She
should make a grand broodmare, and is fit to grace any
harem in California.

"We also find in the catalogue colts, fillies and geldings
by such well-known sires as Echo 462, Fallis 4781, Nut-
wood Jr., Berlin 3514, Alcantara Jr. 3703, Jack Nelson,
Fred Low, Buccaneer, Chieftain 721, Apex, Ca3tello, and
others. The catalogue is well worthy the attention of
every breeder in the State, as there are many choice lots
to be disposed of.

The Lakeport Stakes.

By reference to the advertisement of the 12tb District
Agricultural Society it will be seen that four of their
trotting stakes close on May 1st, and it would be well
for those whc contemplate entering at Lakeport to read
the advertisement over, as there are other races which do
not close until later on. Those to which we wish to call at-
tention to at present are the yearling trotting stakes
with §200, guaranteed; entrance $30, payable as follows:
$5 May 1st, $10 July 1st and $10 September 1st, when
entry must be named, and $o additional for starters.

The second, is a two year-old stake, mile heats, best
two in three, $300 guaranteed; entrance $50, payable
$10 on May 1st, $10 July 1st, $15 September 1st and
$15 additional to start.

The third, is a three-year old stake, $300 guaranteed
with $50 entrance, payable $10 May 1st, $10 July 1st,
$15 September 1st when entry must be named, and $15
additional to start. This race is open to Napa. Solano,
Sonoma, Marin, Lake, Colusa, Yolo, Mendocino and
Humboldt Counties.

The fourth race which closes on the 1st is a trotting
race, mile heats, three in five, free for all horses owned
:d the counties described in the three year old stake, with
$400 added; entrance fee $60, payable $10 on May 1st,
$20 July 1st, $20 September 1st, when the entries must
be named and $10 additional to start.

The same conditiors apply to these races that applies
jo all nomination stakes, the subscription being
transferable any time before the colts are named.

If the payments in the races amounts to more than
the sum guaranteed the additional amount will be divided
in 60, 30 and 10 per cent., and in case of only two horses
Btarting, 60 and 40 per cent, and in case of only one
horse walking over, the whole amount to go to such
borse: A failure so make any payment when due shall
be considered a withdrawal and all amounts already
paid in shall be forfeited.

The Directors have determined to made this the most
successful meeting ever held in the 12th District, and we
feel assured that the entries will be liberal.

The Tryon Sale-

During the spring meeting of the State Agricultural
Society at Sacramento, Messrs. Killip & Co. will dispose
of, at public auction, a very fine lot of standard-bred
trotters, pacers and roadsters, the property of Mr. S. C.
Tryon, a gentleman well aud favorably known to many
)f the track frequenters of this State. It has become
lecessaryfor Mr. Tryon to sell the animals offered in the
jatalogue, and from their breeding and ability to go
'aat, we feel assured that the sale will be a very euccess-
'ul one.

A catalogue has been sent to this office, from which
we glean that among others to be offered for sale will be
Jaatello, 2:31^, a black stallion seven years old, by Echo
62, sire of half a Bcore or more in the 2:30 list. Cas-
tillo's dam being Bessie Turner by Fred Low; 2d dam
ienicia Maid by John Nelson. This is a very promis-
Qg green pacer, and can show a 2:20 gait; he should
lake a grand stock-horse for those who desire good
reeding.

Magister 8152 has a record of 2:49£, made as a two-
ear-old; he is a brown colt, foaled May 9, 1887, and was
red by M. W. Hicks of Sacramento. Magister is by
terling 6223, dam Madam Baldwin (dam of Bay Rose,
:20) by The Moor. This exceedingly tine colt is almost
6 hands high, and will weigh nearly 1.100 pounds; he
i a beautiful mottled brown, and shows in every move-
lent the blood he bears; he is reputed to be a level-
saded, square gaited horse, and should make a very
ist trotter.

Pocahontas, 2-22£, is so well known that it is superflu-
jb almost to tell what she is. Pocahontas is well known
> the breeders of this State, who are well aware of her

San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association.

The usual colt stakes advertised by the various socie-
ties throughout California have not been overlooked by
the San Joaquin Valley Directors, and they announce
in this issue that on May 1st eight stake races will close,
four of which are free for all, while four other stakes are
eligible for colts owned in the San Joaquin Valley only.

In the free-for-all $200 is added by the Society to each
of the races, while in the restricted class $150 is added
by the Society to each.

Stockton has always been noted for its successful
Fairs, and it can be readily understood that this year
will be no exception to the general rule. There are many
first-class stallions owned in the San Joaquin Valley
counties, and it is only fair to assume that those who own
good colts will have a desire to participate in these colt
stakes. Those open for the free-for-all classes should
have ample entries, as from the present indications, 1890
will see more colts trotting in this State than any year
previous. Those who have colts to enter should read the
conditions as the stakes include both trotting and pacing
events, aud the payments are due on the installment
plan. Entries, as usual, will close with Mr. La Rue,
the Secretary at Stockton, California.

Horses In Training: for Sale.

Mr. W. M. Murray has determined to cut down the
size of his racing stable before starting for the East, and
will offer for sale at public auction at Sacramento on May
2nd, eight thoroughbreds, six of which are in training at
present. They are all uBefnl animals and will be eager-
ly sought after by those who fancy the runners. As
there will be a large representation of sportsmen from all
sections of the State at Sacramento during the spring
meeting, Mr. Murray has taken advantage of a favor-
able opportunity to dispose of these grandly bred horses.
Several of them bave already been seen by tne public,
and each of the starters has proved himself possessed of
more than ordinary merit. That the sale will be a suc-
cess there can be no doubt, as colts and fillies bred as
those advertised for sale cannot help but bring good
prices.

Messrs. Killup & Co, will have charge of the sale, and
those who wish any further information than what is al-
ready given in the advertisement can receive it by ad-
dressing those gentlemen at 22 Montgomery street, San
Francisco.

Thoroughbred Yearlings.
This will be the last chance for us to call the attention
of our readers to the thoroughbred yearlings which will
be offered for sale at Raceland, near Paris, Kentucky, on
Monday, May 5th of this year. Messrs. Baxter & String-
field -of Lexington will on that day offer for sale all
the youngsters from Runnymead, Coldstream and Lou-
don Stock Farms. These yearlings are the get of Hin-
doo, imp. Billet, Leonatus, Onoudago, Fonso, Alaim,
Springbok, Sensation, King Alfonso, and Ben d'Or.
Such a rich array of blood should surely teirpt some of
the California buyers to send a commission to Raceland,
as in all probability many very good bargains may be
picked up there1

Answer—He is in service at Senator Stanford's Vina Ranch
at present.

T. H V , Tnstin City, Orange Co., Cal.

Will you please tell me through the columns of your val-
uable paper whether Silkwood and Satinwood or either are
standard bred horses? Owned by a Mr. Willets of Santa Ana,
Cal. If so, will you give their pedigrees. Also tell me the
rules for sending in names chimed.

Answer. — Satin v»*ood is not standard, but Silkwood can be
made standard if his breeder has not already registered him.
Satinwood is by Blackwood Mambrino. dam Uarda by Buck-
eye Chief, a son of Provincial Chief 634. Silkwood is by
Blackwood Mambrino, dam Lady Woodruff, by Hiram Wood-
ruff. When claiming names, write name, color and mark-
ings, when foaled, names of sire, dam and sire of dam, and
as much of the pedigree as possible.

Subscriber.

Will you inform through your valuable paper whether
Electioneer was ever trained, and if he ever had a bad leg.

Answer. — Electioneer has not been prepared for participa-
tion in races, but he has frequently been driven a quarter in
35 seconds at Palo Alto. The leg that is generally spoken
of as "bad" was hurt by a knock, but he was never troubled
by weak legs, bad tendonB, etc.

Will you be kind enough to inform me if this horFe is eli-
gible to registery. By ALbotsford, dam Annie Nutwood, by
Nutwood, 2nd dam by Herculfs, 3rd dam by Greens Bashaw.

Answer. — If horse colt no, if filly yes.

Sherman Black Hawk.

Last week a correspondent asked for the pedigree of Sher-
man Black Hawk, but from the mauner in which the ques-
tion was put, it seemed as though he wanted the pedigree of
McCrackens Black Hawk. We have received since then the
pedigree of a horse called Young Sherman Black Hawk,
which stood at Knights Ferry during the season ef 1S71, and
aUo give his pedigree as that may be what was wanted.
Young Sherman Black Hawk, bred at Bridport, Addison
County, Vermont by Wm Braisted Esq.; was sired by Sher-
man Black Hawk, he by old Black Hawk, he by ShermaD,
he by Justin Morgan; 1st dam by Sir Jed, he by Cock of the
Rock, he by Doroc, he by imp Diomed.

Los Angeles Notes.

It is reported here that the colors of the Santa Auita mil-
lionaire will be seen on the California Circuit this year. I
don't know how much truth there is in the story, but the
presumption is that half a dozen of the most likely bread
winners at the ranch will be selected to carry the familiar
Maltese cross. Rumor also has it that Mr. Harold, a son-in-
law of •'Lucky" Baldwio, will have charge of the string.
The speedy Laredo fs now in training at Santa Anita, but I
rather think be is to be sent East some time next month.

In glancing over the weights for the Great Western Handi-
cap to be run at Washington Park, Chicago. I notice that
Ed MoGinnis is weighted at 10S pounds. Ihere are a num-
ber of crackerjacks in the race, but it appears to me that the
great little son of Grinstead should be in the hunt at the
finish if he starts in g'^H condition. A mile aDd a half
would not be too far for E 1 McGinnis with only 103 ponndB
to pack.

I ran across the-followii g squib in the QaeenBlander, pub-
lished at Brisbane, Australia, which is of more than passing
interest:

"It is reported that an offer of £2500 has been made for the
racehorse Melos on behalf of an American gentleman. Melos,
who performed very credi'ably iu the last Me. bourne Cup,
and distinguished himself last week by winniDg the V. R. C.
Champion Stakes from |Dr£adnongbt and Carbine, is a very
Btoutly bred horse, being by Goldsbrongh from Melody, by
The Barb from Mermaid, by Fisherman from Sweetheart
(imp). For stud purposes he should be good value for the
£3000 requiredfor him by his owner, Mr. Gannon."

It wooli not prove surprising if Melos should be pur-
chased for the owner of Santa Auita. Two otherstallious for
sale in Australia are Carl yon and Cranbrook. Both bave
performed well in the Antipodes. The sire of both is Chester.

I desire to register a good sized kick. Why is it that the
Directors of many associations included iu the California Cir-
cuit pay so little intention to the bangtail division? The run-
ners never fail to draw out the crowd, yet few of the associ-
ations cater to the running hor^e men. Tbe trottiDg men get
much the biggest Blice of the pie. In fact they get seven-
eighths of tbe pie. This is the reason why so man3; running
owners in California do not patronize the home circuit. I
take as much interest in trotters as ruonera. but a glance at
the programmes of 18b9 convinces me that something will
have to be done in the very near future. I am also nwar^ •
the fact that nearly all Directors of associations in this glori-
ous State are trotting horse men, but isn't it poor policy ot
neglect the running brigade ! Dagwobtti .

BASE BALL.

The Game Last Saturday.

Tlie Seuators Badly Beaten »>y the Colonels.

SCORE 13 TO 15.

There was a fair-sized audience at Haight Street last Sat-
urday to witness the Oakland-Sacramento game, and while
the score was very much one-sided, the game abounded in
many tine and brilliant plays. The river team was in poor
condition to try issues with the aggregation of Colonels
— throDgb Roberts, Stapleton and Bowman being on the sick
list, and their places were filled in by Buckley, Kavanangh and
McHale respectively — still, notwithstanding that the odds
were greatly against them, the Senators fairly captured the
Htlding honors of the game. Reitz and Godar were *'in it"
for their lives, and their pretty stopping of base hit?, wonder-
ful pickups and clever throwing, stamp them as players of
great ability. Goodenoogh played a marvellous game in the
field, one of his catches being the finest ever seen on the
grounds. The battery work of Harper and McHale waB only
fair, Hirper sending six men to bases on balls, and was hit
freely at opportune moments.

Cobb's pitching, Dungan'e hitting and McDonald's second
haBe play were the features for the Odklands. The Sacra-
m6ntos etarted oft' well. With two out and Daly at brat,
Buckley sent a beautiful drive to centre for two bases, scor-
ing Daly, Backley crossing the plate a moment after on Reilz's
single. The Oaklands made three in the first innning on
O'Neill's bit, base on balls, Dungan's hit to right a wild
pitch and an error by McBale.

The second inning also resulted in the Oaklauds increasing
their score by four runs, taking a lead which the Saoramentos
were never able to reach throughout the remainder of trie

game.

Sunday'^ Game.

BORCHERS IN UBEAT SHAPE.
Which Resulted in the Detent of the Oaklands 8 to 5.

Last Sunday there was a decided falling off in the attend-
ance at the Haight St. Grounds, but nevertheless a fine qual-
ity of ball was "put np'* and those who were absent missed
it. It was a great day for Stockton though and the way
Captain Fogarty's boys played ball made th« 'Frisco contin-
gent yell with delight. To use the phrase of the day the
"Oaklands weren't in it" after the third inning. Borchers
was in perfeci form and pitched winning ball from the "go."
His Biipport was excellent with the exception of Fairhurst
who was 8 little weak, not having fully recovered from his
sore arm yet. Fudger covered himself with glory at the bat
and Wilson's reappearance at third was the signal for hearty
applause. The Oaklands played well too, the fielders having
plenty to do. Meegan being hit out hard and freely. C. O.
Neill had eight nice chances in left all of which he gracefully
accepted and McDonald played an almost faultless game at
second, The noisy Pooh-Bah of the team saved himself a
lot of guying by merely playing on the bench, Farrell taking
his place at third, and although he had little to do, that little
was done well. The Stocktons crept ahead in the fourth
inning and augmented their score in the eight inning by
three runs maintaining a lead which the Oaklands could not
overcome.

The Jevne who will be remembered as the clever left field-
er of the Pioneer of '88 is now taking care of the center gar^
den for Spokane.

The Stocktons are badly in need of another catcher. Why
don't they give young Stanley who last year caught Borchera
in Merced, a chance'.'

The News says Comiskey is the big dog with the brass col-
lar with the Chioago baseball public at preseut. Anson is
not on the map.

The sympathy of the majority of the Eastern ball patrons
is with the Brotherhood, as is evidenced by the vast super-
iority in numbers attending their games.

The Sacramentos were much handioapped in last Satur-
day's game. With Stapleton, Boberta and Bowman on the
sick list their team is in a very crippled condition.

Jim McDonald never showed np in better form than he has
this season. His second base play is of the finest quality and
he is hitting the ball pretty regularly also.

The absence of Noisy O'Neill's ludicruous chestnutty and
at times insulting remarks on the coaching lines, was a pleas-
ing feature of last Sunday's game.

Tom Powers has fairly captivated the Baltimore cranks.
His brilliant coaching, fine discretion, clever fielding and
scientific hitting and base rnnning have made him a big fav-
orite in the Oriole City.

Godar, of the Sacramentos, will undoubtedly lead the third
baseman of the League. His fielding of ground hits is mag-
nificent and his throwing accurate and strong.

The League managers should lose no time in having the
grass in the ont field of the home grounds mowed down. It
now presents more the appearance of a cow pasture than a
ball field and greatly interferes with the fielding of fly and
ground hits.

Jack Wilson was warmly applauded last Satuiday when he
made his reappearance at third with the Stocktons. Jack has
always been a favorite and deservedly so, aB he ie a most con-
scientious, gentlemanly and able player.

Manager Zeigler could very materially strengthen the Sao-
ramentos by securing the services of Tom Buckley and play-
ing him permanently in right. His outfield would then be
second to none in the League, and besides Buckley would be
a valuable acquisition on acoount of his batting.

The Eastern papers seem to be completely ''at sea" when
stating that Goldie now with Peoria lead the base stealing re-
cord of the California League. The fact of the matter is
Goldie never played with any team in the California League.
We remember him as a fairly clever and tricky second base
man of the Los Angeles team and also with the Santa Ciuz
team of '88 of the California State League, but aB no official
scores were ever kept by this League the title to being cham-
pion base runner of even the State Leaguers ib evidently self
assumed.

Cooney, Hayes and Thompson intend goiDg north to join
the Northwestern League. Here are three excellent players
who were overlooked by the local managers, and who would
lend great strength to any team. Cooney, who played with
the Stocktons and Pioneers is a very heavy hitter, speedy
base runner, good outfielder and strong thrower. Daddy
Hayes has always been a most popular player on this coast,
and in all departments of the game can keep well up with the
procession and genial John Thompson. Aside from being a
good hard hitter he is a most promising back stop and infielder.
The Northern League teams would do well to seoure theBe
players immediately, for as far as good playing is concerned,
it would be a case of "satisfaction guaranteed.

Symptoms of Spavin.

Spavin is not always shown by an enlargement at the hock
joint. It is sometimes "occult," or hidden, and ocours with
in the joint where one bone works upon the other. Ar y
tenderness there is very painful, and the animal is lame with-
out any external sign as to the locality. The disease is
characterized by an objection to put the heel to the ground
and by frequent stumbling or knuckling under of the lower
joint, also by stepping on the toe when running, causing the
undue wearing at the toe of the shoe. A blister iB the best
remedy.— N. T. Times.

It is announced that the National Trotting Association
has deoided to publish at the end of every season a book
giving the official record of the year, with the full breeding
of the borsrri making them, says the Indiana Horseman. The
American Association should do the same. The National
Association of Trotting Horse Breeders should co-operate
with them and thus avoid much confusion and many dis-
putes as to the authenticity of records.

How to Make Horses Win,

One of the sensational features at the winter tracks during
the season that closed yesterday was the administering to
horses who "Bulk" in races of a hypodermic injection of a se-
dative claimed to at once quiet their sulks and arouse, for
the time being at least, their courage, says the Sporting
World. For a long time before it was fairly known that the
same was a chimera or a reality, it used to be rumored around
before a race that So and So's horse "had an injection."

Inquiry revealed that "tbe injection" was not a chimera,
but a reality, a young Mi6sourian, P. B. King by name, form-
erly well known on the Western trotting circuit as the train-
er and driver of Magoozler, was finally located as the origina-
tor of ''the injection."

Since Mr. Ring left the trotting turf to become identified
with the bang tails, he has been more or less well known,
and always favorably known as interested in several race
horses in this vicinity, Free Lance being the last to carry
his colors.

Lately, but particularly at the commencement of the sea-
son juet closed, Mr. Bing became convinced that a hypoder-
mic injection, at once harmless, sedetive and stimulating,
would be of benefit to horses who are found to sulk in races,
in other words, "soft hearted" racers.

The idea no sooner originated than it was at once pnt into
application. What the fluid used is composed of is Mr. Ring's
secret. His charges have been nominal for the same, and he
rightly enough from the first has made the stipulation of "No
success, no cost to the owner of the horse." Whatever it is,
it has shown itself to be of no ba1 or deleterious effects, for
the reason that horses who have experienced tbe treatment
have not only not been dependent on it, but have won raoes
after its discontinnance.

One of the first to be treated was the mare Connemara, last
August at Worcester. The mare had been a notorious "sui-
ter," and before the mile and five furlong dash, won by Hin-
doocraft, Mr. ;Ring tried his band, or rather hypodermic
needle on her. Tbe mare on that day led the party for near-
ly a mile and a half at such a stout pace that the merits of
the treatment were mauifeBt, although she did not win.

Lf.ter in tbe season Mr. Ring began operations at Clifton
and Guttenberg. Adonis and Specialty at Clifton were
among the first he treated, and both ran good races at long
shots under the influence of the injection. The last named
mare won twice on successive race days, and later LancaRtfr
three times in succession. Bonanza, Adonis, Specialty, Bar-
rister, Gendarme, Lottery, Top Sawyer, Cupid, Raveller and
many otherB won under its at once sedative and stimulating
effects.

It has been claimed by some that any hypodermio injec-
tion must necessarily be injurious in its after effects, as well
as leaving the animal dependent on it at all times. Nothing
can be more true, but as yet it has not shown ill effects in
this instance. The cases of the racers Specialty and Top
Sawyer, who have received this treatment the most fre-
qaently, are to the point. Both have so far not become
dependent on the treatment, but appear to have' improved on
it, as their last two wins show, Top Sawyer at a mile in 1 :43|
at Guttenberg being the best race he has ever run. There-
fore "the injection" may be noted as not deleterious, while
it seems to have been demonstrated to be most useful in
cases of a "sulky" animal. Yet it is not possible that it will
ever be used on any horse of value.

the' only horse that ever accomplished that leat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheer* is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His graudam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
ster line in America.

LOCATION.
TBREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This place has
been selected for the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of
these mares and the other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mares (especially mares in foal)
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

. may desire at bottom rates for grain and hay. All
Dills payable before the mare is removed.

He exhibited phenomenal Bpeed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little quest on tha he would have shown In public very close to t.ie best record. On the
uakund track lie was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 31 seconds.

Ab a focir-year-oni Memo only s arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, gre-t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C, T. H.. B. A. meeting, buc after shoving several very faBt mites his leg filled and ue was laid up for
theseHBon. He is sixteen hands h-gh. and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a ^loBsy black, with

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of 8an Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak-
land- Tbe stables are ahout one mile east of the county road, which runs between Oakland and San Lean-
dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed. Guide boards
will be found ateveiy crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads are very good, and they are fairly good
after the unusuallv heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent "from .^an Francisco may be brought over by Qnrcia's Express, No. 3 Market street. Ran

send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A small charge will be
made iu such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are very easily taken irom Oakland to the farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to
bring them or send them, tbe 1 arm will send after anything that is to come. On horses that stay three
months or oyer there is no charge for gettiug or delivering. Where a horse stays a short time the actual
time aud expense oulv is charged to him.

Horsfs can be shipped by rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify
Farm sev. ral davs before shipping anything, and Then men will be on hand to receive stork on arrival,
railroad station is but two miles from the Souther Farm, and the agent invariably gives Immediate in tn

Electioneer and George Wilkes.

Editor Breeder and Spobtsmax: — I have lately received
from Kentucky a breeder's printed circular of four pages with
the significant heading. "By their ac's ye shall knoiv them"
''George Wilkes vs. Electioneer — Which produced the most
speed''" There is no word or line to indicate its sonrce; it is

, simply a circular containing certain records of perform-
ances of the Wilkes family — Harry Wilkes. Guy Wilkep, Rosa
Wilkes, Wilson, Wilton. Baron Wilkes, J. B. Richardson, Joe
Banker, and Tom Rogers; also, performances of the E ec-

> tioneers— Snnol, Palo Alto, Norval. MaLzaDita, Hinda Rose,
Lot Slocum, Bell Boy, Bonita, Adair, Anteeo, Antevolo, An-
sel and Albert W. ItTore than three pages are devoted to the
jwilkes family; to the Electioneers is allowed less than one
page. The intention of the circular is readily apparent. It
is to detract from the just merits of Electioneer and to make

I it appear that to George Wilkes, as the greatest of producers,

• is the palm of superiority to be awarded. To this purpose it
is misleading to ordinary readers; but practical breeders, ex-
perienced turfmen and informed patrons of the turf will eas-

| tly detect the peculiar and studied method employed in

presenting the facts. It is set forth that Electioneer has

hirteen sons and daughters that have publicly trotted in 2.20

I jr better in sixty-eight heats: and that George Wilkes has

i :en sons and daughters that have publicly trotted in 2-20 in

I me hundred and sixty-seven heats — showing a difference in

:■ 'avor of the Wilkeses of nin ty-nine heats in 2:20 or better.

^ote is made that George Wilkes has been dead eight years,

ffhile Electioneer still lives and is doing service.

It is remarkable that in stating the records no mention is

t nade in the circular of the ages at which any of the per-

ormances were made. Everything is omitted exrept the bare

•ecord of heata without remark whatever. Next follows a

) itatement of the one hundred and forty-eight heats trotted

>y Hariy Wilkes in from 2:134 to 2:20, in which the average

n one hundred and seven heats is better than 2:18, and the

« iverage in forty-one heats is better than 2;16. The records

>f the Electioneers of 2:20 and better are then given, to the

1 Effect that all the noted sons and daughters of Electioneer

•foiled oDly fourteen heats in 2:17 and better against the

orly-one heats made by Harry Wilkes, showing to the credit

t 'if Wilkes twenty-seven beats more lhan was trotted by all the

Electioneers. Further, that against the one hundred and

jieven heats by Harry Wilkes in 2:20 and better, all the Elec-

■ >ioneers have no more than sixty-eight heats to their credit,

|i difference of thirty-nine in favor of Harry Wilkes.

By this method of presenting the matter it is made to

.ppear that the thirteen sods and daughters of Electioneer

\ !iave averaged no better than 2:18, while Harry Wilkes alone

i as made the average in sixty-eight heats in better than 2:17.

Following this comparison of Harry Wilkes with all the

■ electioneers, is the statement that the sons and daughters of

Jeorge Wilkes won in twenty-two races in which they had

* 'rotted three heats in 2:20 or better, while there were onLY

onr racps won by the sods and daughters of Electioneer in
?hicb Ihose heats were made in 2:20 or better, a difference
■f eighteen races in favor of the Wilkeses. Also it is stated
hat the sons and daughters of George Wilkes won Bixty-
ight races in which they mada two beats in 2:20 or better,
?hile the sons and daughters of Electioneer had won in all
hirty-two races in which they made two heats in 2:20 or
'etter, a difference of thirty-six races, in favor of the
|Vilkeses. All these figures are up to December 30, 1889.

The method of these statements is ingenious, but the
Qanner of these in disingenuous, and their "purpose is to
aUlead. It is the creft by which, while "figures won't lie,"
hey are ho distorted from their proper realities as to put
ruth on the defensive; as involved in the intricacies of cun.
ling statement of the records, by artful muDiputation, as to
the true facte and delude the reader. But no clear-

"

minded horseman, at all informed in the matter, will be de-
ceived, or will fail to detect the hocus poous. Omitted trom
the reckoning are the facts that to the credit of the sons and
daughters of Electioneer are records of 2:10|;2:12}; and
2:12i, while the best record of the sons and daughters of
George Wilkes are 2:133; 2:14* and 2:15. Further, the re-
cords are used in the circular to show that in twelve heats
in four races won by the Electioneers, the average is not
quite 2:18, while in twelve beats in twentj-two races won by
the WilkeEes the average was 2:15.V, a difference of 2i seconds
in favor of the latter. The average number of heals won by
the Wilkeses in the twenty-two races is put down as thirteen
and one-fifth, while in the four races won by the EU ctionesrs,
the average heats were ooly three — a difference again in
favor of the Wilkests of ten and one-fifth heats. Summing
np, it is made to appear that the average of these raceB won
by the Wilkeses is four and two-fifths, while the average
of the Electioneer is only one race, a difference to
the eredit of the Wilkeses of threeand two-6ftns races.
The four Electioneers names are Lot Slocum, Palo Alto,
Manzanita and Anteeo. The Wilkeses that won the twenty -
two heats were Harry Wilkes, Wilson, Rosa Wilkes, Guy
Wilkes and Wilton. The device of naming Palo Alto, An-
teeo and Manzanitais unworthy a turfman or breeder. Man-
zan?ta was retired after few performances because of disable-
ment. Anteeo was put upon the track only one season, and
has been regularly devoted to the stud, and Palo Alto has
never been kept to the turf. On the o:her hand, Harry
Wilkes, gelding, was kept exclusively for racing, to say noth-
ir g of Guy Wilkes and the others. The enli e figuring on
the bide of the Wilkeses and against the Electioneers, con-
tained in the circular, is to similar effect a distortion of facta
to convey a misleading impression.

By similar method of statement and the like process of ar-
gument, it could be shown that a campaigner in the 2:20
claBS with no belter record lhan 2: IS, and an average of bare-
ly 2:20 in two hundred hta's, is superior to the stallion who
was kept from the stud one year, for a turf record, and never
more figured as a performer after his fourth year, with 2:19
to his average. Goldsmith Maid — an Abdullah, by the way —
with a time record of 2:1-1 at 18 years, again of 2:14A, and
twice of 2:15 at 19 years, and at 20 yfars made forty-one
heals in 2:30 or better, and had to her credit 332 heats in
2;30 or bett r, still her average of time w&s not equal to
that of Harry Wilkes, 2:17. Then, too, is Maud S. speediest
of all, the sequent Queen of the Turf, with her 2:0S£ in pub-
lic, had made no better than 2*26, 2:28, 2:30. 2:31, in some
of her races, while Harry Wilkes trotted 107 heats in 2:30 or
betti r, all the way down to 2:134; — his best — and made an
average of better than 2;17 in 41 heats. Yet the figuiing of
the circular pattern would show Harry Wilkes to better ad.
vantage than Maud S. It is absord.

An honest, painstaking and reliable comparison and analysis
of the relative merits of Electioneer and George Wilkes, as
producers, and of their sods and daughters, with their turf
performances, was contributed by J. C. Sibley to the New
York Spirit of the Times, some months ago. Every materia]
point sought to be made to the greater advantage of George
Wilkes and his get, is clearly set forth by Mr. Sibley to con-
trary purpose and to the better showing of Electioneer and
his progeny. Mr. Sibley makes tabulated statement of a\\
the performances of the Electioneers and of the Wilkeses,
and by excellent analysis so clearly presents the whole mat-
ter that even the reader inexptrienced in relation to the stud
or the turf cannot fail to understand and cemprehend all
that he expresses. After giving the names of the performers,
with the number of races won and lost by each, the record
and the average, he presents the analysis of the performances
to show which is more entitled to rank first. This be award-
ed to Electioneer upon plain showing in impartial spirit, and
awards to George Wilkes the next highest rank. In Lis

statements Mr. Sibley presents the accurate record of per-
formances and his analj'sis and comr/arisocs are withoi t
fault or favor. The Electioneers trotted in 324 races, in
which they won 1S4. and lost 140, a percentage won of 56 79-
100, of 43 21-100 lost. The Wilkes trotted in 1124 races, in
which they won 3S7 and lost 735 — a per ceniage of winnings
of 34 60 100, of losings of 6o.40 100. Ihe average record of
the Electioneers was 2.22 43-64; of the Wilkeses, 2;24.14-59.
The sh jwing to the credit of Electioneer is too plain to re-
quire remark; it is too clear to be clouded by discolored
figuring.

In the whole Wilkes family there are none to place with the
best of the Electioneers in speed — the 2;10i of Sonol
three years, the 2;12} of Palo Alto. The best showing of
Harry Wilkes, the fastest of the family, is 2:13£.
In many of the races in which the Wilkeses con-
tested, their competitors were of the class, but had not bet-
tered 2;20 lower than one second. In every race the Elec-
tioneers contended they had the ranking performers of tbe
class as competitors.

Mr. Sibley, in his closing summary, states his deductions
from all that he has cited in support of bis opinion that Elec-
tioneer holds indisputable rank at the head of the list of trot-
ting stallions and great producers and transmitters. He
remarks: "The tabhs show that to win a race, the Election-
eers had to trot nearly three seconds fester than was requisite
for the Wilkeses to win their races; yet in spite of this, the
Electioneer won 56.77-100 per cent of all theirs." while the
Wilkeses won oDly 34 60-100 per cent, of tbe races in which
they trotied. Then Mr. Sibley, in full candor, concludee:
"Id comparison with E'ectioDeer, my judgment is that no
family of great prominence will stand the test so close as the
George Wilkes family." To similar conclusion is Wallace's
Monthly of March, in which, without contention as to sires,
as producers of speed, the treatment is general as to all of
rank. Referring to sta'lions with record of 2:20 or better,
Wallace says, after mention of the entire list by name, with-
out regard to age: "Of these, Alfred G., 2:19$, Allerion.
2:18}, Antevolo, 2:19A, Axlell. L:12, Bell Boy, 2:19}, Brown,
2:18$, Direct, 2:18}, Edgemark, 2:16, Harry Noble, 2:17i,
Lord Byron, 2:1S, McEwen, 2:134, Patron, 2:14}, Repetition,
2:19}, and Sable Wilk. s, 2:1S, made, records below 2:20 at
three and four years old, while the ones having tbe beet
inheritance as regards colt trotters, particularly in the nearest
ancestors, are Bell Boy, Antevolo and Alfred G., represent
lDg tbe first and second generations from Electioneer, Alfred
G. being by a full brother to Antevolo."

Now, Mr. Editor, I think the point at which I aim, to show
the misleading character of the Kentucky circular, is made
and I have no more lo remark upon the subject. Anteeo,
the noted son of Electioneer, has left splendid loken of bis
own and his great sire's worth in Sonoma couLty. Here we
haie Alfred G., G. & M., Sunset, Redwood, and others— tho
sons of Anteeo, and with these can rest conlent, on the aide
of Electioneer. Still, we hold the Wilkes family in high
estimation, and have the young stallion Philosopher, Fon of
Pilot Wilkes and a Wilkes dam, as illustration of this. M,
Santa Rcsa, Cal., April 30, 1890.

There is a rumor current tbat Marvin will try aDd reduce
the two, three and five-mile trottiDg record with Gertrude
Russell, 2:23k As is well known, this mare is a full sister to
Palo Alto, 2:12}, and she has shown such powers of endur
ance, that thoee in charge are satisfied tbat she can reduce
the distance records mentioned above. It is extremely prob
able that the smashing of records will be attempted in a five-
mite dash, so that they will all fall at a sicgle attempt. Tb< se
who are supposed to know, state that the mare can an -
plish the feat easily, and that she will be reserved for tl :
work alone.

Other Cuuiitry Drivers -H'cull ProfeMJi.oiials.

"No, there is no reason why women should not drive
trotting horses. I mean no reason based upon hard logic.
Tbe trained horse is the gentlest and moat intelligent ot an-
imals, and must appreciative ot delicacy and kindness.
Woman's nature is particularly snob aa to appeal to the high
bred horse, and there is no donbt of tbe fact that she has
naturally sufficient physical strength to drive. She would
probablv acquire much quicker than men tbat delicacy of
touch and h mdling tbat goes so far witb horses of merit."

This was what Robert Bonner said wben he was asked
whether tbere was any reason other than fashion's whim why
women should not drive fast horses. He said, however, that
he knew of no women who drove or owned fast horses, or
who took any but a passing interest in trotteis. He did not
comment opon this lack of interest in an animal so worthy
of woman's attention as he painted. Neither did he attempt
to assign a reason for it.

Bat the trotting horse is not so exclusively a man s ani-
mal as Mr. Bonner Beemed to suppose. A vast number of
women are numbered among its admirers. Women who
drive are assertiog ibemselvea more Btiongly every year, and
doubling or trebling their nnmbers with each succeeding
season. And. although riding is tbe prevailing hobby
among Ntw York ladies and a dozen riding schools and rid-
iog clubs floaiish, while there is not a similar ins itution
for driving, nevertheless the fair devotees of the trotter are
not a bit discouraged, and boldly prophesy that the logic of
the thing, if nothiDg else, will bring tbe trotter eventually to
the from as the women's horse, lo be driven rather thau to
drive, and to take saddle horses ani be densely ignorant of
trotters, is fashionable propriety for women to-day Bui there
are hosts of women who openly defy this dictum, and take
Iheir Bpin in the Park or the bighwaya of the annexed dis-
trict daily, much to the improvement of health, complexion
and good humor. This much can be paid of tbe women de-
votees of the trotting horse, and it is not always true of those
who ride — they do not follow a fad, but a passion. Those
who love driving drive in every wtaiher, and because they
ljve it. The saddle horse has followers, the ti otter has wor-
shippers. Women, too, are taking an interest in trotting
stock, and more than one has made a reputatiou as a success-
ful noise breeder. The example of Mtb. Lorillard, who car-
ried on, with marked success, her husband's s'ud farm of
runners, is matched by half a dozen women who have put
brains and good management into the raifiug of trotters and
have made money out of it. There is another Urge and grow-
ing body of women who, while they drive little and have no
taste for breeding horses themselves, are intensely interested
in trotters from a Bemi scientific standpoint, and take every
opportunity they get to see a finely bred or finely trained
horse. John Splan says that the reason running races are
more popular with women than trotting matches is tbat the
running raceB are more exciting and spec.acular. This qual-
ity draws hundreds of women who crave excitement without
knowing or caring a atraw about a hor=e. Od the other hand,
he Bays every woman who attends & trotting r ce is very like-
ly an expert, or at least an enthusiast on horses, and if rac-
ing crowds were compared, woman for woman, it would be
found that the trotting horse, considered as a horse, has a
greater following of women than the running horse.

It is impossible to speak of women who love trotting
horses to trotting sharps aroond here without at once hearing
of Mis* Edith Van Buren. She is tbe daughter of the late
John Van Buren, Consul-General for several years to Japan,
and a niece of William Walter Phelp*. Though only 26 or 27
years of age, Miss Van Buren haa been breeding horses on
her father's place at Teaneck, N. J., for a number of years,
■with the result of having produced some very creditable
horaeB. She has been a student of the trotting horse since a
young girl, and, practically, is a thorough horsewoman. On
the Vau Buren and Phelps places at Teaneck she speeds
her horses to her heart's content. Away from home bow-
ever, she will Dot handle tbe reins. But wherever she is she
will lose no chance of inspecting a finely bred horse, and
will leave a ballroom any day to talk reoords and breeding
theories with an expert.

Miss Van Buren is described by her friends as very attrac-
tive, She is of good figure aud very aotive. Her complex-
ion is fair and she has dark brown hair, and large, dark and
thoughtful eyes. In the privacy of her father's and uncleV
great grounds at Teaneck she lives an active outdoor life,
f very hour of which has something to do with a hor-e. The
Vau Buren place adjoins William Waller Phelps' lLco, and
the two together contain something like fifteen or twenty
miUs of drives. This ia a very paradise to the young horse
lover. There is a half mile trotting track nearby under the
management of an association, and here she sends ber
horaeB at times for timed trials. Not far from ber house are
large stables, which contain every possible convenience for
raising and breaking horses. Miss Van Buren suoerintends
tbe raising and breaking of her horses herself. She is per-
fectly capable of doing it. At intervals a veterinary surgeon
from the city visitB her stables, or cornea on her call by tele-
phone.

Miss Van Buren got her first good horse before she was
20 years old. It was a mare of good blood, down in the
trotting register as Norma. She bought her at the Waverly
State Fair, where she had just got a first prize in ber olass.
Norma ha* since taken several prizes in the New York horse
shows. She has been Mies Van Buren's principal brood
iiutr*, aaviog be.n bred to Idle Gift and several other Btallions
eq-iatlv well kDown. MiBs Van Baren haB raised five colts
from Norma, all of which have proved oapital stuff. She
owns the Hambletonian black stallion Prosper. Her bay
mare Thorndalia by Thorndale. sired by Edwin Thome,
2:16$, out of Norma, she is using for breeding purposes. Nor-
ma and another mare are at present in foal by Idle Gift in
her stablea. Two of the get of Prosper, out of Norma, the
black gelding Typhoon and the brown mare Pet, are now
stabled with John J. Qainn in Harlem for the winter. She
haa at present eight or nine standard-bred trotters belonging
to her Btable.

Miss Van Buren's horse breeding is done on thoroughly
scientific principles. She knows the literature of the trotters
as well as most breeders and can give offhand the pedigree of
more good horRes than the average expert can. She believea
in thoroughbred blood, and i8 in the habit of analyzing every
blooded horse Bhe sees with tbe idea of tracing ita points to
their respective origins in Btrain. In breeding her mares, she
studies out with great care the points she wishes to produce
in the foals, and selects stallions in nccordancp. There are
two maros now ia foal in Miss Van Buren'a stables whose
foals will be of interest to breeders generally. They will
mark the success or failure of any interesting experiment

which Misa Van Buren is making in coach horses. Miss
Van BnreD has long been c nsidering the problem of im-
proving the American coach horse. She has been casting
about for some cross to produce a cob made chunky coach,
with arch neck, big Btride, and great endurance. The Amer-
ican coach horse possessed neither the strength nor the en-
durance that she wished. Not long ago her attentions was
directed to the bronco as a marvel of snap and endurance.
The bronco was Bmaller than she wished and possessed of
bad habitB to boot. But she determined to try the experi-
ment, believing that if once a strain of horses could be pro-
duced with the broncho's endurance and snap, the bad
points conld be rednoed by further breeding. To this end
Bhe secured two bronoho mares of pjwerful build and good
habit, and put them to a coaching stallion of undoubted
blood and unusual size. Her experiment is looked upon witb
some donbt by some horsemen, who think the broncho will
predominate iu the get to a degree to spoil a coach horse.
But it has never been tried, and conservative horsemen re-
serve opinions. Miss Van Baren herself is very hopeful of
the result, The cross is the result of a good deal of careful
study on her part, and she ie confident that it will be pro-
ductive of good.

Nearly every corner of the country has Borne woman to ex-
hibit who has made a success with breediog trotters. Miss
Van Buren's s'udy of trottars is purely a matter of personal
enjoyment with her. But there are in other parts cf the land
women who have entered the field to make moDey, and who
have succeeded. One of the betst known of these women is
Mrs. John M. Clay ot Lexington, Ky., the widow of Henry
Ciay's son, and the owner of the Ashland thoroughbred stock
farm, one of the beat known and best equipped stock farms
in the blue-grass region. Mrs. Clay's efforts are by no means
confined to trotters. She has a number of famous thorough-
bred running horses, and raises rb good stock as can be had.
The whole world knows Henry Clay's love of good horses.
His son inherited the taste, and made of his father's stables
a great stud farm. John M. Clay died two years ago. Then
his wife at once picked up the business and has been carrv-
ing it on Bince with marked success. She is pushing her way
boldly, and ia booked by Kentucky horsemen to become a
famous horse raiser. She haa got out an attractive catalogue
of the broodmares at her farm for 1890. In the announce-
ment at the front of the volume she modestly says:

"'Tbe management has now fallen into not very competent
hands; but the honest effort which someMmes supplies the
place of ability will be used to keep the stock, at least ap-
proximately, at its standard of excellence."

It is tbe opinion of horsemen, however, in spite of Mrs
Clay's expressions of self-depreciation, tbat the fine stock in
the Ashland farm is in the hands of one who understands
it.

Mrs. John Stiner of Detroit ia a woman often spoken of aa
a p oof of womaus fitness to own and manage and breed
trotting horses. She is a very pretty woman of small erect
figure, with fair complexion, fair hair, and bright blue eyes
She came by her love of trotting horses through her husband,
who is tbe Secretary of the American Association of Trotting
Horse Breeders. Mrs Stiner has a farm at Iudianapolis which
she visits frequently, and where she personally raises a good
many fine trotters. It was she who first brought the great
pacer Westmont, whose record is 2:13£, to the front. She
owned Westmont, and rode and drove him. Sne came to
beiieve he had speed somewhere in him, and set about de-
veloping it with a success whioh enabled her to sell him for
a great price.

It is naturally the blue grass region which has produced
the largest number of famous horsewomen. One of the beat
known after Mrs. Clay, is Mrs. Rbodie Patterson of Lexing-
ton. It was the death of a huBband in her oase, aB in Mrs.
Clay's, that sent her into the business of horse breeding.
Her husband made his reputation aa tbe man who brought
ont B;lle Bratsficld, who trotted in 2:20, when that was a
famous record, and who afterward was Secretary of the Home
Driving Park of Pittsburg, Pa. They were a Pittsburg fam-
ily, lived there always until Mr. Patterson's death, when Mrs.
Pa terson went to Lexington and began to raise trotters. She
now owns a good farm near the city, and is doing a large bus-
iness A o>lt Bhe raised from Belle Brassheld recently sold
for £5000 at one of Rose's sales. She is the sole head aud
brains of her stock farm. Her son Rhodie is growing up un-
der her care, and promises to become a good horseman in his
time. She now is intrusting the training of tbe horBes to
him, while she looks particularly after the breeding and the
general and business management of the farm. One of her
horses is the paosr Bessemer, who made 2:15 as a four year
old Mrs. Patterson is making money.

Mrs. Augustus Sharps is identified with Shady Side Farm
three miles from Louisville. This is a prosperous Block farm,
where fine trotteis are bred. It has an annex of 235 acres
on the Taylorsville road, also near Louisville, and puts out
voluminous catalogues of stack each year. Augustus Sbarpe,
the manager and proprietor, is making a fortune out of his
business. Mrs Sharpe does not appear as interested. It is
well known, however, that she is a thorough horBewoman,
and contributes to the success of the farm. So enthusiastic
is she that she accompanies her husband around the circuits
when their best horses are racing. When their Greenlander,
who holds a stallion record of 2:19£, was beaten at Cleveland
recently, Mrs. Sharpe burst into an uncontrollable fit of
weeping, aud had to be conducted from the grand stands
The occurence made no small Bensation, us she is a tall and
handsome blonde whose striking appearance had previously
attracted widespread attention. Since then she has visited
New York with her husband, and seen Greenlander win at
the Driving Club races.

Mies Nannie Smith of Lexington, Ky., is generally spoken
of as tbe luckiest women having to do with trotting horses
She was tbe sole owner of Red Wilkes, the famous son of
George Wilkei. She sold a half interest in him to C. W.
France for $12,500 several years ago, the understanding be-
ing that Mr. France was to manage Red Wilkes in stud.
Misa Smith's income from the famous stallion's stud fees has
exceeded $10,000 a year since.

Though the women who have gone into raising trotting
stock are few and far between, tbe fair devotees of the fast
horee and the light carriage are many. Tbey are little heard
of, probably for the reason that fashion has turned its back
upon the trotting horse. The ladies who drive, moreover,
are generally not seekers for notoriety, and they take their
pleasure in a qniet and unaBBuming way. If one wants to
see them for himself, let him go to the Central Park in tbe
early forenoon, and take a seat by a principal driveway. It
i* gen ra'ly too crowded for women to venture out in the
afternoon, yet Borne do, and steer their turnouts throngh the
throng of carriaegs of every sort with great skill. Manager
L. T. Curtis of the Wiutield stable in fifty eighth street,
where a considerable number of ladies keep their horses,
says that driving is becoming more popular with ladies every
day. Women like tine horses and fast horses, be says, and
love to own them. There are many women of Btaudlng in

the city who take great interest in their horses, enquire
about them every day, and give personal direction as to their
keep and care. Mr. Curtis is another one of those who be-
lieve that women are perfectly able physically to manage
thoroughbreds.

Ihe carriage most used by women in the Park and suburbs
is tho phaeton, rigged either single or donble. This is quiet
and unassuming, and, with top raised, protectathe fair diiver
from impertinent gaze from sides and back. The fashiona-
bly proper thing in phaetona is an extremely heavy vehicle
which requires twoBtrongJhorses. But the enthusiastic 8D»p
their fingeis at fashion, and purchase aa light a phaeton as
is made, and this, behind a sii.gle horse or pair, is the
oarriage you most often see driven by ladieB in tbe Perk.
Aud very often the expert will pick out some remarkably
doe horse hitched to these modern carriages.

But the women who love la-t horses do not always confine
themselves to phaetons. There is one young woman of strik-
iog beauty, who is seen every day in the Park, but is known
by none who drive there, whose outfit is, from the horse
lover's standpoint, complete. She either drivts a pair of
browns, which can pull a wagon a mile in 2:40, or a single
bay horse, which is the admiration of every Lorse lover who
sees him. She has a black phaeton as a matter of course,
which she uses either siDgle or donble, but Bhe frequently
drives in the afternoon in an airy road wago i of light wood,
with light leather finishings and brats guard. A girl who
report says is her sister usually accompanies her, and a ter-
rier 18 generally hid away in the turnout somewhere. When
there is suow, she drives out in a green and cold trimmed
Stivers cutter which can hardly exceed sixty-five pounds in
weight. No day is too rainy or soowy or hot oi c >Jd for tbw
young woman to take her spin . She is always ace mp inied
by some one. She drives for the pleasure of the drive, and
on pleasant dayB will speed no Seventh avenue, over the
bridge, and often to and beyond Yonkers. Her turnout, with
ita fine horses, of course attracts no end of attention, but she
never looks to right or left, or notices people Bhe meets,
except to turn out of their way. Report has it that she lives
in Madison avenue near the Park, and is the daughter ol a
well-known business man.

There is a lady who lives in the Navarro flats, whose hus-
band was a defeated candidate in a reeent election, who is
seen Dearly every day driving in the Park. Her daughter
usually accompanies her. Another lady, the wife of a
banker, who lives in Sixty-pecond street, near Fifth avenue.
driveB a pair of cobs to an Eoglisb T cart every morning. A
red-wheeled road wagon tehind a pair of cobs is looked for
every morning by the habitues of the park drives. The lady
who handles the reins knows how to drive. She is the wife
of a Liberty street real estate dealer. Another habitual
driver is a brown-haired young woman, who manages a fash-
ion journal. She is usually accompanied by a Bister or brother,
and drives a black horse to a red-wheeled Brewster wagon.
An Englibh woman, who drives a seal brown, bangtail cob
every morning in the Park, is said to be one ot the most
devoted advocates of driving in thin city. Women know
much more about horses in England than here, she nays A
verystylish turn-out is seen early every morniDg in the park.
It is a Bpider wheeled buckboard with \ellow wheels. The
lady who sits in it and drives a pair of black, chunky-built
sobs is the wife of a stock broker. On pleasant afternoons
she sometimes meets her husband at the elevated station
with this rig, and they drive together, the wife handling the
reins. Another lady whose face is very familiar in the park
on pleasant mornings, is the wife of the manager of a ltrpe
up-town theatre She drives a sorrel horse, aud likes to
drive fast. Miss Fannie Dickinson, the daughter of Cot. A.
G. Dickinson, is seen almost daily in the park and upper
drives of the city. She drives a pair.

The few women here menti ne i, aDy of whom may be rec-
ognized in the Park anyj.le«saut day, are only a very few
examples of the many ladies who habitnallv drive in this
town, and drive good horses too. The demand for fast borsts
of good blood for ladies' use is becoming snch that horse
trainers are making a specialty of training blooded horses to
answer to the pull of a ribbon.

To see the woman devotee of the tro'ter in all her glory,
however one must go to the country. At all the resorts dur-
ing the season the demure city girl, who has been a victim
to s'yle for the rest of the year and has sat niscontentedly in
the back of her brougham while Jehu handled the ribbons,
lets herself loose an I drives the fast horse at will on country
roads over hill and through valley. The couotry is the trot-
ting horse's paradise all the year round, and country fnits
are largely patronized by women who love tbe speeders. Mrs.
Rollin M. Squire is a type of a great many estimable women
who delight iu a fast horse. The poet ex-Commissioner Li
a country place in Westchester, and Mrs. Squire delights to
drive a snpi-rb Kentucky thoroughbre t for which her hus-
band paid $5000 She appears at fairs in a dainty country
phaeton behind this fine horse, and is so proud of him tbat
she does not miss an opportunity to enter him for Ihe honor-
ory prize for fine blood horses often offered at the larger
county fairs. Mrs. Squire has driven her horse herself in
such conteats, exhibiting his paces and accomplishments.

Philadelphia has a yonng woman who is well known for
her love of fine trotting hotses, and sometimes appears, like
Mrs. Squire, before a country crowd, if by po doiDg she can
bring laurels to the proud head of a favorite blooded borte.
She is Miss Linda Cooper, daughter of James Cooper, once
the partner of P. T. Baroum. She is about 20 years old, and
an unusually pretty brunette. Her father is very wealthy,
and humors bis daughter to the iitmo.-t in her fancy for tine
trotters. Mr. Cooper himself is a natural horseman, and bis
daughter has inherited his tastes. She drive? sing'e or doa-
ble, and no weather can keep her oil' the road.

In tbe field of professionalism, tbe trotting horse has natur-
ally been tbe favorite with womeu. Barri. g circus horses,
whose running is at btst nothing mere than a desperately,
slow canter, tbe running horse is one too many for tbe profes- I
sioual woman. But there has been no end to the women i
who have made their living "by driving trotters at country '■
fairs and other shows. Every ot.e who has ever attended
country fairs with their trotting tracks is familiar enough
with tbe horsy woman, with painted cheeks, gay colored
dress, and silk jockey cap who is advertised to drive a trotter
with a mile-long pedigree, against time or against a running i
horse, ridden by Monsieur Somebody, tbe world-famous
jockey. Sometimes these women travel tbe oircuits in pair*
and drive against each other in raceB that are of course more
or less "fake," but whioh throw a countrv crowd into a state .
of wild excitement. And very able horsewomen they often
are, too It is not Beldom that a woman of this soit is en-
gaged in good faith to drive a favorite trotter in a dash for
rich stakes, and often Bhe accomplishes ber task and lands
her horse a winner in a style thet brings her plenty of well-
merited applause. Tbere is one woman among these pro-
fesBional horsewomen so far above the rest in accomplish-
ment that she deserves mention. . She is Mine. Marroutette.
She has been before tbe public now for nearly fifteen years,

ai has made a comfortable fortune. She has always owned

h own horses, and has scorned any bnt the best. She has

d. devoted herself to trotting horses by any means, although

triers have naturally occupied most of her attention. She

isn all-round horsewoman. She originated the idea, which

bi been so popular for years at country fairs, of women

rising running horses to light wagons for money prizes, and

si holds the bona tide record for the fastest work in this

li . It was sha also who originated the long-distance riding

ras for women at country fairs, with numerous changes of

fuses. She comes honestly by her French name, although

at is an American. She married a Frenchman named Mar-

rtielte years ago. As a skillful driver of trotters Bhe is

fei wn over the circuits from the Atlantic to the Pacific. — N .

Several times we have had occasion to mention the new
track lately finished at Coronado Beach, and are pleased to
lay before our readers a letter from an occasional correspon-
dent who shows the advantages of this one over many others
of the so-called winter tracks.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— There is probably no
place where the horse is fouud in a higher degree of perfec-
tion than in California, and this is especially true in the
case of high graded Block. The m03t of the State is well
suited for breeding, raising and training such stock, hut the
southern portion of it is especially so, and Coronado now
enjoyB peculiar advantages that enutld it to a foremost rank.
Visitors who have spent some few weeks in the locality often
remark that the salutary influence of the climate on the state
of their health is quite astonishing. The same effect is equally
noticeable in the c-ise of horses, and the animals raisad in this
climate are distinguished for great cheBt development and
increased breathing capacity.

Fully appreciating the rapidly-increasing interest mani-
fested everywhere in the racing and oth*r fast stock of Cali-
fornia, the Coronado Beach Company deemed it important to
have a tirst-class race track on their grounds, and that for
various reasons: There are but few places in this State where
all the requirements of a good race-track can be found, or
where the requisite climatic advantages can be had in any-
thing like the same degree as on the peninsula of Coronado.
The soil wnere the track is laid out is a sandy loam, which
neither becomes muddy when wet nor cakes in drying. Even
after the moBt drenching rains, the water is Boon absoibed,
owing to the porous Dature of the ground, which is never
sloppy or heavy, and rt quires no artificial drainage. Conse-
quently the horses-never cup the soil, but speed onward with
clean feet and the easy, elastic bound much appreciated by
the riders. For breeding, raising, and training hordes of all
classes, and especially fast stock, this climate cannot be sur-
passed; and the superior quality of the water is equally con-
ducive to their health. There are no extremes of heat or
cold, no snow or ice, only moderate rainB, and no high winds.
Fogs are rare, the air is dry and mild, and the days are nearly
all fair and sunny. In fact, the climate is all that could be
desired. Here the exercising and training of the horseB can
be carried on with perfect regularity the whole year without
intermission, a fact that must be appreciated by distinguished
drivers and horsemen, such as Hickok, Marvin, Welch and
others.

The racing interests of California are year by year increas-
ing with rapid strides, and will doubtless continue to do so.
Hence the necessity for a brat-class race track, and it is a
fortunate circumstance for horsemen that such a track has
been formed in a climate fitted for nsing it at all seasons. In
laying ont the track, the services of an eminent railroad en-
gineer were employed, and the work was executed in a scien-
tific manner, special attention being paid to the proper ar-
ranging of the stretches and the curves, and also to the due
adjusting of the grade of the curves, leaving the outside
the higher, with the same precision as on a railway track — a
thing of much importance, as an error in this matter would
likely cause accidents and much injary both to men and
much injury both to men and horses.

The track was located, after mature deliberation, with the
advice of that celebra'ed horseman, Orrin A. Hickok, who vis-
ited the ground and designated its location and shape. It is
a regulation ffne mile course with stretches and turnR of one-
fourth of a mile each. The whole track is so nearly level
that there is Dot three feet of difference in the height of the
ground anywhere, and the home stretch comes in with a

The grand stand is in a position where it commands a full
view ot the whole course. There are over one hundred box
stalls, eacb 14 feet square, with ample sheds adjoining, which
are rented at $2 per month each. Several of them have al-
ready been taken for 1390-91.

This is the only raca course in California where weather,

The Pacific Coast Live Stock Owners' Mutual Protective
Association has been organized under the laws of the State
of California for the purpose of preventing the spread of all
contagious and infectious disease amongst livestock and to
prevent the throwing upon the market of diseased meat ani-
mals and the sale of diseased and unwholesome meat for hu-
man food, and also by mutual and proportionate subscription
to indemnify members for loss of live stock by accident or
disease.

This association originated among stockmen in one of the
largest stock counties in the State, who, from personal expe-
rience, saw the necessity for united action to prevent the dis-
astrous spread of contageous diseases, and after mature
deliberation came to the conclusion that an association of
this kind, honestly and carefully managed, could not only be
made a benefit to its members by securing to them a means
of protecting themselves against loss, but be far more power-
ful and influential to contend with the spread of disease.

The General Manager of the Association is Volney Howard,
Room 73, Flood Building. San Francisco, a man of extended
experience in the insurance field.

The Seoretary is G. W. Gallanar, editor and proprietor of
the Pacific Grove Review.

The Actuary is F. D. Howard, proprietor of the Del Monte
Drug Store, Monterey.

Tne Vice-Preeident is Edw. Ingram, ex-Postmaster of Mon-
terey and senior member of the firm of Ingram Bros., whole-
sale aDd retail butchers Monterey and Pacific Grove.

The President of the Association is the Hon. B. V. Sar-
gent of Monterey, known throughout the State as one of the
largest and wealthiest stockmen in the country. His connec-
tion with the association as its President is an assurance of
careful and honeBt management in all its branches.

The President of the association refers to the following
well known persons: D.J. Staphs of San Francisco, Jesse
D. Carr, President of Salinas Bank; A. B. Jackson, Vice-
President of Salinas Bank; L. D. Sbippee of Stockton, Sen-
ator John Boggs of Colusa, Henry Miller of Miller & Lux,

More About Flaxtail 8132.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I see from your issue
of the 26th inst. that some of your exchanges are discussing
the breeding of Flaxtail 8132. His stable name when I first
knew him was Flaxtail, and he was said to be a "Bull Pup."
Just before I came to Cdlifornia, I attempted to trace his
breeding. I learned that he was brought to Iowa from Salem,
Indiana, by a man by the name of Mitohell. I addressed a
letter of inquiry to "Any Leading Horseman, Salem, Indi-
ana." In reply I received a letter, saying in substance, "Our
postmaster did me the honor to hand me your letter, and it
fell into the right hands. My brother and I broke the horse
Flaxtail when he was two years old, and I think he was the
fastest pacer in the world, but his breeding is unknown. His
dam, a mare that looked like a thoroughbred, was brought to
our place in the Fall by a stranger, and sold so cheap, that
every one believed she was stolen. In the spring she foaled
this colt you are inquiring about." The satchel containing
this letter was lost on the way here, and aa I considered the
pedigree hopeless, I did not charge my memory with the
writer's name.

Flaxtail and Blue Bull, from the middle piece forward,
bore a most striking resemblance to each other, but Flaxtail
had more of the pacing conformation behind. Both were
phenominallyfast pacers, and there was soch a strong resem-
blance in their produce, that the get of one horse could easily
have been passed off for the get of the other. The place of
Fiaxtail's birth made it possible, and these resemblances
made probable that he was sired by the sire of Wilson's Blue
Bull. It would have been to my interest to accept the claim
that he was of Pilot descent, aa Maud S. had made that blood
popular. I have never attempted to give his breeding farther
than to accept the "said to be" of the Eastern journals,
which, for the above reasons, is in accordance with my
belief- _ M. W. Hicks.

The Race Record— Who Holds it?

Editor Breeder and Sportaman.— In looking through
the table of fastest trotting records, in Wallace's Year Book,
I see that Maud S. is credited with the fastest heat made in
a race. This honor, I think, belongs to Sunol. Maud S.
took her rerord of 2:I3| in a race against a single competitor,
and she, a mare only able to drive Maud S. out in the two
previous heats in 2:19 and 2:2H. Sunol's race was for a
stake opened two years previous, in which there were twenty-
one entries. Most of these made payments up to the last
before the race, but in the meantime Sunol had shown such
speed that it was useless to go against her, and it would not
affect Sunol whether others were in the race or not. It is
true that the announcement was informally made that she
would go the heat faster than her previous record of 2:13f,
but the fact could not affect the character of the event. No
choice could be made of weather or track, and but a single
heat could be allowed. Had Trinket beer: in the race and
able to go as fast as she did against Maud S-, she would not
have got near enough Sunol to be considered as a factor.
Had Trinket fallen down immediately after the word was
given, Maud S. would still have been given credit for the
heat as a race record.

Whether a performance is a race or not, does not depend
on the presence of a revival contestant; it needs only be a
fixed event, in which competitors can appear, and over which
the owner of this trotter has no further right and powers than
in any other race. There is no rule of the turf that makes
a walk-over anything other than a race. Can it be said
that a horse who has been a winner in a walk-over for a
regnlar stake is eligible in a class for horses that have never
started in a race? Had a cart-horse been started agaiost
Snnol, even Mr. Wallace would not have questioned her

race record. Denver.

could then afford to attend the Southern meetings.

W. It. Smith has adderi Duke of Milpitas (Duke of Nor-

seem.

The Sporting World says: A bulletin board aboa
twenty feet square with tbe inscription, ''No admittance

attached to the gate at tbe entrance of the judg
stand at the Elizabeth course. If the judges and club

from the enclosure to the betting ring or heard the remark
of the occupants of *he stand in regard to the unknown gen
tlemeo who congregate there, they would order the banne
painted at once.

this city have just received their badge of membership for I
current year. Although an entirely new departure, t
badge is thoroughly in keeping with that suaiptnousn
that has characterized almost everything connected w
Morris Park from the inception of the enterprise to itsoo|
pletion. Instead of the usual ornamentally printed piai
board disk the member's badge furnished by tbe New Y<
Jockey Club is a button of solid silver that is made to tit ill
the lapel button hole of tbe coat. The disk, which is '
p'ayed on the lapel, is about the si7,e of a fifty cent pie
having a black oxidized ground on which is a grotesque ran
design in burnished silver. This design includes tbeoln
initials, while on a broad raised rorder of irregnlar
work is engraved the name of the member, while on i
button which fits into the buttonhole is er graved the nifi
ber's number, as it stands on the roll of membership.

he success of the meeting. Secretary 8haw has just returned
rom Chicago, where he bad a conference with Secretary
Brewster, of the Washington Park Club. After the close of
Vashington Park, there will be a general division of the
Vestern stables. Some will remain at Chicago to tace at
Vest Side Park, while others will flock to Saratoga and Ham-
ine. Seoretary Shaw has received assurances from the own-
rs of the most prominent stables in the West, that they will
!hip their strings to Hamline instead of going East. This
jesures a brilliant meeting for the Twin City Club.

Obas. Marvin, Superintendent of the Palo Alto trotting
lepartment, will leave for Terra Haute to-morrow. AmoDg
Ihe horses taken on will be the world renowned Sunol, 2:10J;
jte peerless mare was never better in her life, and though
Ihe has had little or no work so far, should go a terrific mile
then keyed up, as Bbe is much stronger and bigger looking
ban last spring. Palo Alto, 2:12:1, is in grand shape, his
set, which troubled him last season, has not shown the
lightest indication of soreness so far, and he ought to lower
ie stallion record, besides accounting for several free for
lis. Gertrude Russell, 2:23^, a full sister to Palo Alto, is
bowing up well and is expected to go low down in the
'■ens. Sport, 2:22£, is also expected to be verv dangerous in
pod society. Arol, 2:24, is relied on to lower her mark Rev-
eal notches, as are several of the others, and should reflect

A special to the Independent from Deer Lo'ge. Helena,
ys: "This morning the ten- mild race on the roai to Cham-
jn took place according to arrangement. The race was
ide up some weeks since, and had been extensively adver-
ed. W. H. Higpins bet M S. Parker 2,000 shares of Amer-
in Ruby stock against a mare Belle, belonging to Parker,
at the mare Deer Lodge girl could beat Parker's horse to a
rtain point on the Champion road at a distance of ten

piles. The bet was equal to $800 a side. There were about
,000 of side bets The horses went to buggies, each buggy
otaining two persons. The horses started at 9:56 o'clock
.im the Kentucky stables in Deer Lodge. Deer Lodge Girl

• notes, beating the horse 1} minutes. This is a remark-ible
;ord, as the road is up hill all the way, with some very
avy grades. The finiBh is 1,300 feet higher than the start
:$ point. Both horses were of course tired, bat Deer Lodge
rl, after resting an hour, made the return trip in 58

V Montana horsemen writing from Loniaville to the Helena

lependent says: Spokane moved for the first time this
ring out of an ordinary gallop. He seems to favor his

ame leg" considerable and is qnite likely to go down in the
' ler leg in trying to save the one that is already lame. His
rates t race for this season, I think, will he against his old

tagonist, Prootor Knott, aod the race will be to see who
i 6 lired first. I do not believe that either of them will win
' y gieat events this year. King Regent iB bore, and worked
; ialf mile this morning in 54, whiob, considering the oon-
jion of the track, was very good work. He seems to be all
jht, and the weight he has got in the handicaps ought to

ke him a sure winner of one or more of the events.
pur horses are doing very well and never looked better.
'Nevada is good and will make these Kentucky people woo-

t whit kind of a country Montana is before the season is

Kingsberry is a very promising 3 year old, and if he
lot win the American Darby, will make the people nn-
itand that he is a race hor-e.
(Varpeak and X are showing very well and ought to re-
foa last season's poor work

31d Daniel B. frisks about like a 2 year old and can beat
y horse in Kentucky a half mile dash.

"Ah, the race track's full of 'em," said Jack, jast as he re-
fnse i a colore! man who had accosted him on West street, a
small loan. "Why, you'd scarcely credit it, but there's a
gang of them that jast make a living borrowing. They'll
take from five dollars to a qnarter: they'll get you to buy
them a badge and then resell it; and, if thev can't get any-
thing else, they'll borrow a chew of tobacco. Why, here a
little fellow, he was a jockey's valet or stable lad, jast about
the size ot a jockey, bothered me once to pick him three win-
ners He diin't know much, but he bothered me, and finally
I picked him three. Well, as it happened, the three won.
Now, what do yon Buppose that young kid did? He went to
a bookmaker and said some trainer or other had Baid they
would win, snre. They were passably loug shots, aod the
bookmaker held them out. Well, to my surprise, every one
got there, and the bookmaker staked tbis ki I qnite lively.
In faot, the kid had a good time until the bookmaker tum-
bled and got tired. The boy's around now, only he's grown
into a big, strapping fellow. They c*ll him Frenchy or
something of that sort. Ah, there's lots of Bchemes on a
race track," soliloquized Jack.

At this season of the year when so many two-year olds are
being given names, it may not be quite useless to make an
appeal to owners and trainers to abstain from giving them
such appallng titles as some of our race horses bear. The
Weeks Sport, a spicy New York Weekly eays: If one looks
through racing reports or tbe pages of "the guide, it is hard to
reconcile the connection of such magnificent beasts as these
thorough' reds are, with the outlandish names with which
thpy are weighted. It is Dot an easy thing .to name horses
well, I know, though in some stables one notes particularly
happy selection?, both euphoDioUB aud consistent with the
breeding, but it is a mistake to give them the names of peo-
ple, more especially vvhen only initials are used in whole or
in part. Every man who keeps poBted in racing matters will
be able to call to mind a dozen instances of names that are
enough to stop horses from Bhowingeven decentform, though
little good would result from ptrticnlarizing. It is all very
well for half bred plugs destined for bushwhacking rouud
country fairs to be called by names that would appropriately
adorn the bar room loafer, but when it comes to giving such
soubriquets to high-bred youngster* that qnite probably may
Bhow slake winning form, it is quite another matter. Sjme
of the two-year-olds that have already made th^ir debuts
have been very well named, and perhaps the Hon. W. L.
Scott Rets a particularly good example in his horses. It is to
be hoped that owners "will take the trouble to follow such
good examples.

The ParU, Ky., News Fays there has been a loss of proba-
bly $50 000 worth of foals in Bourdon countv the present
Beason owing to the open winter and the peculiar nature of
the- grass or other food given to brood mares Stock men
have been very reticent about their losseB, for fear it will re-
flect on their t-tock, and have in most instances requested a
suppression of the strictly h gilimate news items. The follow-
ing from the Richmond Register shows the same fatality
among the stock men of Madison county, Ky: "Col W. M.

following mares slip their foals: Mona Wilkes, by George

Yeare ago when Alden Goldsmith and Edwin Thorne, two
men who lent dignity to tbe trotting turf, and who are both
sleeping under the Orange County sod. bought a colt by
RyBdyk's Hambletonian, out of Lady Patriot, daughter of
Young Patriot, son of Thoroughbred Patriot, they called him
Hambletonian Jr. One day the two fine old Orange County
horsemen drove up to Wm. M. Rysdyk's gate at Chester to
visit the great father of trotters. When they drove away
their conversation was earnest. Mr. Rysdyk repented the
naming of the Lady Patriot colt Hambletonian Jr. Being
j?alous of the name ''Hambletonian," the idea of calling
Lady Patriot's colts as he was called led the carious old man
to rage, and not lot g after the visitors had left Thorce asked
Goldsmith, "What sba 1 we call him?" The rebellion was
just then developing from a mere insurrection into a civil
war and the patriotic spirit was then rife. Said Goldpmith:
''Let ub call him 'Volunteer.'" And so the great Volunteer
was named.

Volunteer would never have been great but for the hard,
intelligent and persistent work of Alden Goldsmith and his
sonB Mr. Rysdyk lost no opportunity to caBt opprobrium
upon Volunteer. His dam, he declared, was a mongrel, and
he could be nothing. But the Goldsmiths trained and
worked with the >ons and daughters of Volunteer with per-
severance and faitb. And when Huntress, the grfat three-
miler, Driver and Gloeter, the incomparable trotting race-
horses, and St. Julien the record-breaker, came out, there
were none to say that Volunteer was a mongrel.

The Volunteers were not young trotters; they took time to
develop, and neither were they uniform trotters, like the
Electioneers; but that thpy were race hor^s of the first
water is nniverpally admitted. The family of Volunteer is the
only family in trotting history of which it has never been
Baid that any of them were "quitters." Tbe sons of Alden
Goldsmith are living up to their name. After Charles Mar-
vin, John A. Goldsmith is eaBily the star winner of the
Pacific Coast. He trained and drove to his record Guy
Wilkes 2:15|, and trained and drove the famous youngsters
by Guy WilkeB, viz., Lillian Wilkes, 2:1 7|. as a three-year-
old; Sable Wilkes, 2:18, as a three-year-old; Regal Wilkes.
2:20^, as a two-year-old; and Hazel Wilkes, 2:20, as a four-
year-old.

Mr. Corbitt. the owner of tbe San Mateo farm, over which
John Goldnnith presides, is a rich Califoroian who has made
his money in canned goods. He is an enthusiastic horseman,
and has retired from aUbnsineRS except that of breeding trot-
ters (Ed. T. T. ) which he has made immensely profitable. J.
H Goldsmith, the elder of the Goldsmith boya, wan the ■ tar
driver of tbe Eastern circuits last season, and probablv will
be this. He wjnterpd his ptable at Wasbingtonville, N. Y.,
the old h^mest^ad of the Ooldsrniihs, but bas now gone to
the one mile track at Paterson, N J., to piepare f r tbe sum-
mer campaigns. Tbe great bor^e of tbe stable is that pood
campaigner Gean Smith, record 2:loJ, flnd be will be a dan-
gerous horse in the free-for-all classes this year.— New York
Tribune.

A writer, discussing Capt Sam Brown's 2-year-olds, says:
The 2 year old division ot seven, all the get of imported Rich-
mond save one, bra a fair looking lot of jouugsters that look
like earning their way this season. They have to the eye
many of their famous sire's characteristics, his color, build,
etc. The Mayfield colt and the Alabama colt look perhaps
the pick of the lot. but then amoig 2 year olds tbe turf-wurld
over, "handsome is as handBome does." The Hiiuyur filly,
a half sister to the KeDtnoky Oaks winner. Jewel Ban, looks
nearly fit lo race now and suonld be speedy if looks aod re-
lationship count foranytbiug. Rogers says that Troubadour's
sickness at La Grauge farm in Kentucky is not yet over.
The Suburban winner has bud pinkeye with lung complica-
tions, and at last advices was much improved, but not yet
out of danger.

We take the following from the anecdote c lumn of the
Licensed Victual'frs Gazette: It is notgeuerally known that
the famous mare Blink Bonny, the winner of the Derl'y and
Oaks of 1857, suffered greatly with her teeth, which preven-
ted her e iting and masticating her food Manv teeth were
extracted, which doubtless gave her some relief; but in tbe
skeleton of the mare, so ably and scientifically preserved aud
put together by Mr. Tom Bowman, V S , of Sledmere, the
presentation of which to tbe museum of the Yorkshire Phil-
osophical Society in York, was almoBt the last act of the late
Mr. I'Anson's lite, there can be seen still remaining in the
j iw one of the grinders or back teeth, the blackened and de-
cayed sta*e of which tells of intense Buffering and consequent
deprivation of food. Many a time, after a morning's exercise
in the clear, bracing air of Langton Wold, did she rush with
avidity to the corn offered her, and then lay her head on the
edge of the manger in despair at being unable to eat it. One
day, just before the D.-rby, Mr. Maw, the respected veteri-
nary Burgeon who a< tended the Spring Cottage and other rac-
ing establishments in the district, was asked by several friends
about tbe Epsom race. Ee answered: "I cannot tell you
what will win the Derby, but I can tell you what will not,
and that is Blink Bonny, as I took these from her bead only
a few days ago," at the Bame time he produced a number of
"wolf teeth" from his pocket. How the prediction was veri-
fied is known to the merest tyro in racing history.

It will be remembered that for One Thousand Guineas of
1857 Blink Bonny was an immense favorite, which proved
the unbounded confidence of Mr. I'Anson, her owner, though
without doubt the mare was in very backward condition. Im-
perieuse, who was as rough as a badger, but was full of health
and good work, was sent by John Scott, the Wizard of the
North, as he was styled, from Whitewall, to take her chance.
It was one of Mr. Scott's theories always to run a filly if she
was well, as he said, "You never know what may happen."
Mr. Scott, a careful man iu such matters, as he was not pres-
ent at Newmarket, gave strict injunctions to his representa-
tive, whom he sent with his mare, to hedge his stake, that
is to lay the odds to £100 against her. Bather rough looks,
the prestige of Blink Bonny, and other cautee, led to as much
as 15 to 1 being offered against Imperieuse, and tbe idea of
laying £1,500 to 100 against a filly he knew to be well de-
termined the Baid representative for once to diBobey orders.
He therefore had the satisfaction of telegraphing to his prin-
cipal, "Won easily, and not a sixpence hedged,"

Qaite a controversy has taken place lately in England as
to the use of horse shoes. The Pall Mall Budget says: Ab
the public are being invited to view a collection of horseshoes
at the AnimalB' Institute, aud a series of paperB are being
read on tbe art of horseshoeing, tbe question whether onr
horses Bhould be shod at all might be raised opportunely.
Use and wont have so accustomed us to shod horses tbat it
wi'l appear to many to be as absurd to discuss the practice as
it would be to begin a contention as to the wearing of boota.
But it is not by any means tbe first time that the wisdom of
nailing an iron shoe on the hoof of horses has been called in
question. Some years ago the matter was hotly debated,
when tbe advocates of the shoeless system came in for tbe
abuse usually awarded to the pioneers in any reform. The
Royal Society for tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals also
gave it out that they would prosecute any man who rode or
drove a horse wilhont shoes, being convinced that it would
be a piece of cruelty to do so. If they are still of the same
mind they need not lack a subject for prosecution, as we
know of more than one owner of horses who has converted
theory into practice.

A doctor in considerable practice in the north of London
has been driving one of his horses for nearly a year past
without Bhoes, and hi^ experience confirms in the fullest d< -
gree the views of the Rev. J. G. Wood, as set out in his book
on 'Horse and Man," a p^ruBal of which induced him to
make the experiment. When the shoes were first removed
the hoof were soft, and in order that they might harden and
so return to their natural condition, the horse was kept on a
hard floor in the stable for three months. That is a costly
but necessary preparation where Bhoea have been used, but
later economies v. ill more than balance tbe account. At the
elope of the period named he was put to work, and, notwith-
standing the tear and wear in all weathers and on bard ai d
soft roads indiscriminately, '.he hoofs are to-day perfectly
sound. Frost makes no difference to the Burefootedness of
the unshod animal, and while the horses of brother practi-
tioners were confined to tbe stable owing to the Blippery con-
dition of the roads, he went his ronnds with absolute safety.
ThiB is a clear demonstration that a horse can do traction
work without shoes with distinct advantage both to the ani-
mal and tbe owner, and tbe Rev. J G.Wood contends that
it can do paddle work also better than when shod on any de-
scription of road. Veterinary surgeons, farriers and grooms
may be sceptical, but practice is better than theory. The
following are the advantages which one of tbe author's cor-
respondents Bets out as the result of hiB personal experi-
ence:—

1. Five or pix pounds per annum are eaved by non-shoe-
ing, including the frost nails in winter.

2. Can gallop on a road coverei with ice, wbeu other
horses are not safe even with Ihe use of frost nailB.

3. The weight of the shoes is taken off the feet, which is a
considerable help to the horse.

4. Tbe foot, being flat from the frog and down to tbe
ground, leaves no receptacle tor stones.

0 Tbere is none of the unnecessary jar caused by the
shoes, so that the horse travels freer and lighter.

The doctor's groom, who in an enthusiastic conveit to the
new system, not only cor firms these advantages, bot claims
that the animal is saved from various diseases of tbe> foot
caused by shoeing, while its BorefootednefB is most remarka-
ble. It stepB high and goes well, and at the end of a day's
work its feet are perfectly cool. If this surefooledoets can
be secured without detriment to the hoof, it certainly would
be an incalculable boon to the horses which are constantly
ooming to grief in the preify London Mrtetp, and I esides it
would afford not a little relief to those who have to watch the
torture of the animals as they make painful efforts to regain
their foothold.

Store Cattle f ->r Great Britain.

Confirmatory of what has beou siated in the Rural World
about the desire of the farmers of Great Britain to purchase
steers from America and fatten them upon their farms, we
publish a portion of the report of Mr. Moreton Frewen, of
England, who 1b thoroughly posted on the subject:

There was one point, he said, nf which he had made a
close Btudy, and it was worth while to consider whether the
legislation which was responsible for tbe present application
of the contagious diseases (animals) act was entirely unwar-
ranted by the circumstances of the time. The result of the
rigid exclusion of lean Btock from America had been to drive
this country more and more into the dead and fat cattle meat
trade. As long as the contagions diseases (animals) aot pre-
cluded the importation of store cattle from the United States
to this country, he aid not thu'k the conditions of agricul-
ture would be quite healthy. Too result of tbe enforcement
of that act had been to prohibit English farmers from buying
their store cattle in the one cheap market of the world. He
was aware there was a breeders' side to the question. He
had no cattle interests to preserve in America, but he was
convinced that Ireland could carry one-third more oattle
than she had now, and the only chance of her increasing her
stock was to buy heifer stock from across the Atlantic and
bring it in alive. On this Bide of the Atlantic there were ad-
vantages for fattening cattle which no other country enkned
If the cattle trade of which he was speaking wub not subjec-
ted to the existing restrictions, and if the English farmers
had their agents at Chicago who would forward 4,000 or 5,000
head of lean cattle a day, quite a new phase would be put
on the agriculture of this country. As to the "bogey" of dis-
ease, he pointed out that in dealing with America there were
conditions of security which were offered nowhere else. Five
or six years ago there was pleuro-pnenmouia, but there had
never been a single outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in
tbe United States.

The complete statistics of British imports for tbe year 1889
have just been issued, and contain some figures in which
Americans are highly interested. Great Britain imported in
that year no less than 555,221 live cattle against 377, 0S6 in
the preceding year, and almoBt doubling the imports of two
years ago The total of shet-p imported was 678,958, tbat of
the p-eceding year being 956,210. This is the only point in
which the imports Bhow a decline. In swine and horses there
was a very Blight increase, and in fresh beef the total of 657,-
574 cwt. in 1887 was increased to 1,379,511 cwt. in 1889.
These figures are highly significant lo the countries wbkh
furnish Great Britain with iU food supplies. Of the great
increase in cattle the United States furnished the bulk, our
exports of catils last year being 294,423 head, a^amst 143,-
495 head in 188S and 94,858 head in 1887, the trade of the
latter year hiving been about trebled in 1889. Of the fresh
beef which Great Britain imports the United States furnishes
about nine tenths. If as many sagacious observe) s tk>nk our
exportation of animal fools should shew aninorease in 1890,
the total report a year hence will be large indeed — Colman's
Rural World.

Qualities of the Cow.

THE GOOD COW.

A good oow wnen in milking order is neither flesh}' nor
scrawny, but she is of a bappy medium order, that combines
muscular symmetry and lacteal voluptuousness. She is rep-
resented in all breeds of catile subjeot to especial adaptation.
She is physically healthy from hoof to horn (provided phe
hasn't monkeyed with a dehorning chute), and of strong con-
stitution enough to insure vigorous offspring.

While dependent largely on man's care for a substantiation
of the term "'good," the snperiority of her inherited lacteal
organism is a marked characteristic peculiarly her own. She
is naturally of a sensitive, docile nature, but will stand on
t e defensive whan abused. Her very nature makes her in-
dustrious about feeding, and she is never lazy in this regard.
When she is in the pasture she grazes assiduously until her
stomach is full, then she lies down and ruminates till the food
she has absorbed is assimilated, heing up and off immediate-
ly in search of another repast. Her hair is i-ilky, and she
has a refined physical contour. Although a heavy eater, she
carries no ill-pr. portioned "paunoh," and she possesses great
powers of digeBli m and assimilation. It matters not whether
her name U "Crumpled Horn" or "Muley Jane," she has ho
many prominent good points that you could spot her for a
superior cow in the middle of a ten -acre lot.

THE BAD COW.

She is frequently built like an ox, and her udderine devel-
opment i* either nominal or small. Although cut out by na-
ture Rolely for beef, she seldom reaches tbe butober's block
till she has been a co-tly experiment to some dairyman. She
has none nf tbe nervous temperament of her good Bister, but
is of a coirse, physiological character. Frequently she has
fairly good milk traits, and is made had by the negleot and
ignorance of her owner. This is easily aooomplished by win-

t r •^pOBure, inadequate feed and general neglect. The 1
cow has no blue-blooded ancestry, and she might be tern
"a oreature of chance." She will lie lazily in the Bhade wl
she should be up feeding, or she will walk two miles uipp
the amount of grass her good relative would have gleaned
a rod of ground. I never knew a "tramp cow" to be a pi
itahle one. Take it all in all, the bad cow is a most m fo>
nate creature. She is not to blame for being here, yet bd(
censured for bringing the records of so many dairies into (
repute. Individually she is not to be condemned, but rat
are the men who by lax methods tolerate her in the U
The best way to open the negligent dairyman's eyes as to
real value between the good and the bad cow is by a relai
array of faota. Give him opportunity to note the act
yield of the former and the actual yield of the latter, i
thon mentally digest the comparison. ''Blood will tell," t j
so will feed.

THE MEDIUM COW.

Between the good and the bad of everything there is alw
a medium, and in the American national dairy we find a la '
percentage oi halfway between cows. Many of this all
are evolutions from poorer stock, improving under tbe !
nign influence of cross breeding, enhanced care and bet
understanding of r itiooing for milk production. Then ag '
there are others, the progeny of dams of good lacteal capu j
ities. but by the use of inferior sires the stock has degei
ated until it is below par. We thus have regeneration t
degeneration blending and producing cows neither hot t
c^ld, but lukewarm, from a lacteal point of view Althoi1
the medium cow is an improvement ou the bad one, she
just the factor that is keeping thousands of dairies ud I

financial distress. So many farmers seem to rest cont
with this "passable" stock that is not netting them more tl
S34 or $40 per head for the milk season. In the great da
•action where the writer resides he has knowledge of nan
ons farm'rs situated as above described, who attribute tt
low inor me per bovine capita solely to the produce marl
When will the scales ever fall from their eyes and reveal
them their fallacy"

Geo E. Newell in Stockman and Farmei

The Broad-Tailed Rhe-p of Western Asia

We have knowledge of but one breeder of this peco
breed, Col. Jashington Watee, Laurens, South Carolina i
what has been learned of their peculiarities hue been byre
ing accounts given by naturalists and visitors to their Dal
conntry. Comparatively litile bas been written about I
V6ry nseful animal in its native clime. This is but am
mention of it in our English works, and that consisting
largely of misrepresentations. The follow ng is from an
count of this sheep written by an Armenian student fi
Asiatic Turkey, now at Cornell University:

"From tim^ immemorial this has been the common spei
of sheep existing in Arabia, in Palestine and Syria, in ~
and in the Barbary States of Africa, in Asia Minor and
western Asia as far as anti-Taurus and the mounUinn
Koordistan. OutBide this boundary it give3 place to theci
mon species.

"Stilllater we find it mentioned by an Englishman, J(
Harris, in bis booV, 'Voyage and Travels." published
London, 1705 Mr. Harris' descriptiocs of monkeys i
elephants, aB well as sheep, are very extraordinary and t
gular, and were iutended for no other purpose buttosati
the laudable cur'osity of his readers. Unfortunately, mi
writers, especially religious authors, have exae'ly oop
thi-i false description, and now it is not uncommon to
pictures of this sheep with a tail two or three feet long, u
Caswell's ' Illustrated Bi'le."

* 'Where thiB species rirnt originated is a mystery, but
cording to the most ancient historians, very probably t
first oame from the peninsula of Modern Arabia.

"The broad tail rs highly esteemed in all lands where it
found, on account of its caudal appendage, which is c<
posed of an accumulation of dilicate fat— a medium betw<
lard and butter, but an excellent substitute for the foro
The notorious orien'al dishes, so well known from the oh
times, ae whollv prepared with this fat. In localities wb
the climate is cold, this fat is preferred to butter by mil
and is eiten raw after chopping a lump to a compact Di
In warmer climates it c*n be k*pt longer than butter wilhW
beir>g apt to grow rancii.

"In faot the broad-tail Bheep has no separate breed exc:
from the changes it has andergone in different climates n
pastures. There may be specified three different kioda. Cj#
Bidering Asiatic Turkey as the home of this sheep I sho'i
say that those found in Koordistan, and in the districtaroim
Mount Ararat, are thelargistin flesh and in the sfodK
their fatty tails, and are designated by the general name;'
Bayazit" sheep from the city of Bayszit, as the center of •
home. They are cM fly of a dark brown or light blaok, w,i
short aud coarse wool. It is in those districts where i
owners are often obliged to pnt small oarts under the hei,'
tail of the ill-fated animal to relieve him from the pain e\-t ■
annoyance of su"h an incumbrance.

"The shape of the tail is nearly circular, reseuiblin .
obair cushion, and hung on eaoh side of the caudal spi'. -■
while the tail proper extends several inches below at i
middle, In many cases if the cart is not fixed on in time
t<ril grows fatler and one of the lobes dropes off by its old
weight. Those found in Asia Minor, and mainly in the f
vincf s of Siva and Angora are smaller in size, of pore wl(>
or jet black in color, aod are noted for the fineness aodab*
dance of their wool.

"It may be well to note that the form of the tail is invi*
ably the same all over.

•'Under the hot climate and iu the poor pastures of sool-
ern Me^opatamia we find the species entirely chaDgj n!
piorer in flesh, ooarser in wool and hardly ever free frji •
diseases through tbe careless attention of the noma'1
Arab."

Doubtless in the Mosaie-Law in Leriticns IU, 9, "And ■* *.!
rump thereof,'' ha* reference to this species. This is th« ■
motest mention of the existence of this species. At ah'* ^
p<mnd about twenty-five hundred years ago, Herodotus I '
described it as ooourring in Syria wnd Palestine, and difl'
iua from tbe common Greek sheep by having a tail *V' ' >■
cubio in width." — Homestead.

BASE BALL.

[Reviewed by Phil potte.J
THE "WEEK'S GAMES.

Good Ball Beinflr Put Up by the California
League Teams.

EXTRA INMMJ UAHKS.

'FrU-o Stfll In the Lead.

The CaliforDia League teams have completed a week of
good, honest base ball before an aggregate assemblage of
twenty-five thousand devotees of the sport.

The 'Friscos are still in the lead, with Oakland treading
uncomfortably close at her heels. Stockton maintains her
third place, and Saoramento, who started off very unluckily
at the begining of the season, is now making a great spurt,
and intends to keep tbe leaders hustling. Appended will be
found the full scores of all games for the week commencing
Thursday, April 24th. This retrospective glance of the hap-
penings of the week on. the California diamond, as presented
in these oolumns, will especially commend itself to the many
managers and players throughout the entire country, and
will be favorably welcomed and appreciated by all admirers
of the national game.

Stocktons vs. Oakland, Thursday, April Id, at Halgbt

Street.

The game was a complete surprise to the half thousand
persons who saw "Bteady Pete" Meegan, pitch "gild edged"
ball for the Colonels from across the bay. But in the ninth
it was a mournful "tale of woe" for the Oaklanders, for the
Stocktons opened a fuBilade of base hits which went crack-
ing all over the lot, and these, aided by a couple of misplays,
gave them seven runs and the game. The score:

Stockton vs. San Francisco. Saturday, April 26Ui, at
Halglit Street.

12 INNINGS.

The best game of the season was played between Stockton
and Frisco last Saturday. So said the fifteen hundred cranks
who turned out to see Frisco "do" the Gas City's boys.

But while many were disappointed in the result, they were
all unanimous in declaring that they more than got their
money's worth.

Chase and De Pangher were in the "points" for Stockton,
and Lookabough and Speer did the honors for Frisco. Chase,
although perceptibly weak toward the end, twirled far the
better ball, Lookabough being hit very hard by Holliday.
Swan, Fudger and De Pangher. Frisco tied the score in the
eighth and then the battle began. Each team scored once in
the ninth, but brilliant fiel 'iug by both nines prevented runs
in the tenth or eleventh. In the twelfth the Fri^cos were re-
tired in order on infield hits and Swan toik the bat for Stock-
ton, making a pretty bit. Cahill flew out to Levy, but Hol-
liday's safety advanced Swan to third. Fudger was next up,
and on hiB beauty to left field the winning run came in amid
deafening cheers. The score:

Oakland vs. San Francisco, Sunday, April 37ih. at
Halgut Street.

Oakland wasn't satisfied with doing 'Frisco up "to the
Qoeens {or rather tbe ColonelB) taste in tbe morning, for in
the afternoon, in the presence of about eight thoosand 'Frisco
oranks they just "repeated the dose." It is a sad event to
ohronicle, but such things happen very often in baseball, a»d
Borne day (we hope in the very near future) Manager Finn's
boys may have "the laugh" on the Athenians, but to do this
they will have to improve materially in their hitling and
infield work. Cobb was in good form, and kept the bits well
scattered but Lookabough curves when tbf-y came in contnct
with the Colonel's bats generall> went sailing over the field-
er's heads for two or three bases.

BILLJARDS.

Od Thursday, May 1st, between 8 and 10 p. a.., at the
Baldwin billiard room, the balance of the stake money in the
great MoCleery vs. Sehaeffer match of three thonBand points
for two thousand dollars a side will be put np.

The billiard world of San Francisco is now extremely agi-
tated as the time approaches for the great match game of bil-
liards whioh is to take place at Metropolitan Temple on May
29th, 30th and 31st between Oacob Sehaefer and Professor
McCkery of this city. As iB well understood, the match is
for S2.000 a side at straight rail billiards on a fonr and a half
by nine table of the Biunswick-Balke & Collender Co. make,
the Eastern man to discount McCleery. When the match
was originally made, a $1,000 a side was deposited, and on
the evening of May 1st, the parties interested each pot np
SI, 000 a side more, at the bar of the Baldwin Hotel billiard
parlors.

Prof. McCleety has been hard at work for several days pre-
paring himself for the contest, and we understand that
Sohaefer is on his way West now, in company with Frank C.
Ives, the well-known young billiard player of Chicago, the
two giving exhibitions en route. As is only natural, Mc-
Cleery's fiiends are strong supporters of the theory that no
man living can discount him at the straight rail game, and
yet we find in looking over the files of onr Eistern exchanges
that Sehaefer has many supporters in the East, and tint bet-
ting in the match already is 10 to 7 in his favor. The two
great tournaments whi<-h have lately been finished in the
East the first in New York and the second in Chicago, has
tended greatly to enhance the interests of the "gentleman's
game " and there are many east of the EocRy Mountains who
will watch the result of the contest here with a great deal of
interest, as McCleery's prowess iB but little known on the
other side of the continent. When the match was first made,
we were inclined to the belief that McCleery had a little the
best of it, owing to the shortness of time that was to elapse
between the finishing of the Chicago tournament and the
match to take place here, but as the time has been extended
which will give Sehaefer a longer opportunity to practice
than he otherwise would have had, we ar6 now inclined to
think that the chances are more even.

It is now some years since we have seen Sehaefer nurse
the ivories, but the manner in whioh he has been playing in
the East, Btamps him conclusively as being one of the great-
est players of the present age, and yet with even the bias that
mnst be formed by his friends in his favor, and with his
superb playing in Chicago, there are many Californians who
will be willing to make many modest little bets that the wiz-
ard of the cue will be unable to discount the California favor-
ite, McCleery.

The Selby Smelting and Lead Company last year offered a
handsome medal to be competed for at bine rock targets by
residents of Central and Northern California. The medal
was won by Mr. Henry A. Bassford. The Selby Company

The Traver Fraud.

The Cleveland Target Company, manufacturers of blue
rock targets, wrote their agents here, Messrs. Clabrough.
Golcher & Co., on April 2lst, offering a reward of $25 for
evidence that will lead to the conviction of the sconndrels
who introduced a "fake" target at Traver reoently.

The Company offers to make affidavits that it haB never
made any such bid as that "rung in" at Traver. Incidentally
it is mentioned that but one similar fraud haB come to notice
at which time wooden imitations of b'ue rock targets were
used. Messrs, Clabrough and Golcher and several promi-
nent sportsmen of Traver, are iiBing all diligence to ferret out
the guilty persons, and when discovered they will be held np
to universal execration.

Mr. N. H. Cadwallader, of San Jose, has challenged Mr.
C. H. Cateto shoot for the Selhy Medal won by the latter on
Saturday last. The match must take plaoe within a month.

Andrew Baker and Mr. Black of FreBno, while trout fish-

Mr. Chas. Cite, winner of the Selby medal on April 26th,
and challenged by Mr, Cadwallader. of San Jose, has named
May 25th, 10:30 a. m., at Lincoln Clab Grounds, as time and
place for the match

Col. Gordon tried the experiment of planting California
quails on his plantation, Loohinvar, Mississippi, about thir-
teen years ago, but it was not successful. The Colonel found
that the California birds drove away the native quails, and
being such runners, and not lying well to the dog, did not
afford the sport to be had with the native quails.

A report cornea from Strawberry Valley, high up in the
mountains of Yuba County, that the Indians and a few whites
are slaughtering deer alon^ the line of the melting snow. It
is said that twenty-seven of the animals ha3 been lately
killed, ten by one Indian. The past winter was very hard
on the deer, and many perished iu the snow. S )me persons
think that to preserve this game from extinction it may be
necessary to prohibit killing of any kind of deer for a season
or two. The present Blanghter is in violation of law, as the
close season lasts till July.

John Sanborn was in town from Hay Fork this week and
informs us that after the melting of the snow, Jo Smith, of
Hay Fork Valley, found within half a mile of his ranch the
bodies of forty-five deer piled in a spice of ten feet Bquare,
says the Trinity Journal. The plaoe where the deer were found
was at the foot of a high bluff; last winter the deer oauie
down the ridge of the mountain through the deep snow met
the blnff wh'ch they could not pass, aud, being unable to re-
trace their steps through weakness and the snow, lay down
and died. Mr. Smith skinued the deer and has the hides to
show for it If any of our mountain contemporaries have a
bigger deer story than this, aB a relio of the big winter, let
him trot it out and take the persimmon.

How to Cook Trout.

A writer in the Sun gives the following direction for cook-
ing trout:

Clean a few trout in the crystal waters of the stream. The
troufc are buttered, and seasoned with salt and pepper; then
wrapped in paper or leaves, and buried in the hot ashes,
where they steam in their own fragrant vapor.

The next best mode of cooking small tront is to clean them,
rinse quickly in cold spring water, dry with a towel, and rub
a little salt on the inside along the bone. Then cut into dice
half a pound of the sweetest salt pork obtainable, try it out
in the frying pan, and in the pork fat, actively boiling, plunge
the delicate fish..

The writer is a firm believer in and a vehement advocate
of cooking fish by Bteamiog. Large brook trout, salmon and
lake trout are delicious Bteamed Butter the trout and sea-
son with Bait and pepper; wrap the fish in muslin, put them
in the oil fashioned steamer, place it over a pot of boiling
water, and the ascending steam will do the re^t.

Brook trout are also excellent broiled. Very large trout
may be stnffed and baked. Never remove the head, tail or
fins of trout; serve them so that they may look bb mnch as
possible like their own sweet selves.

If you must veil their native beauty, dredge a little yellow
Indian meal, bot under no circumstances cover them with
batter or a thick layer of crumbs.

Drawn or melted butter, thickened with freshly gratel
horseradish, forms a harmonious Bauce for steamed large
trout.

Nothing daintier id the way of trolling tackle has been
seen for many a day than the Abalone spooDs. manufactured
by Mr. E. T. Allen, 416 Market street, city, to whom we
are indebted for a sample which will, we hope, get fast iu
ni^ny a big trout this season. The Bpoons have been tried,
and fonnd most killing, the iridesence of the polished shell
being just like a glinting minnow.

A very recherche bachelor's supper was given at the resi-
dence of Dr. A. H. Bailey, 00 Front Street and Minnesota
avenue in Santa Crnz on T hursday evening of last week, one
at which genuine enjoyment of a menu fit for an epicure was
followed by au honr of wit, song and story long to be re-
membered.

Dr. Bailey entertained, five of his friends, who each con-
tributed something substantial or etherial to the feast. Early
in the day, BootBy— the only Bootsy — bad been sent out to
a mountain stream for trout. He returned with nearly 100
and these were the main reliance for the feHst.

They were cooked by that amatenr cordon bieu, Howard
Coult. who also gave his friends Jiletsd' abalont aud a capi-
tal nalade, all done by his own fair haDds.

W. H. Galbraith brought down some of Kilfasset's famous
vintage, so t e wines were perfect, while Fred Stevens '"set
the table" with all the grace of the prettiest of maids.

George H. Ready and LeBarm Olive, having "nothing
else to do," were the belles of the evening, and alao proved
themselves gallant trenchermen.

"Bootsy" was promoted to the office of chief waiter, after-
wards acting as prima donna with prooounced success.
"Aloha" was said regretfully, when the fmnr grew late.

All of the gentlemen are prominent m'nibers of the Santa
Cruz Bod and Gun Club of which Mr. E. C. Williams is the
efficient Seoretary.

ble notices of whelps. Bales, names clalmed.presentationsand deaths,

Deaths-

Mr. Gforge Bassfords pointer bitch Blossom whelpe>
March 27. 1836, by Glen R.— JosieBow, died on April !~~
1890. Cause, poison.

Mr. Frank H. Allen haB brought from the kennel of Mr. j
H. Moore, Melrose, Hash, a St. Bernard dog puppy, seven
weeks old, by Ben Lomond — Saffron. The puppy arrivei
after its long journey clean and lively. The breeding cane
be beaten.

The death of Mr. Geo. W. Bassford's grand brood bite
Blossom, noted elsewhere is to be deplored, not only because
she was the valned companion of her owner, bnt also beoauPe
she was of unusual excellence both on the benoh and in the
field. In sending notice of her death, Mr. Bassford adds a
few words whioh are so eloquent and so touching that we
venture, without his permission to use them. Blossom won
V. H. C. at the dog show of '86 when only four month's old;
2nd at the show of *S8 and 1st at the show of '89. She di.
vided third in the Held trial derby of '87.

Mr. Bassford writes: My neighbors had put out sqnirrel
poison without notifying me, and she somehow got one of
the poisoned squirrels and ale it, and was not discovered un-
til tuo late to save her though all was done that could be
done.

Though I have bred a great many dogs, and make the
proud boast of having bred more priZ9 winning pointers both
in the field and on the bench, than any other breeder on
the coast, I consider Blossom one of the best, combining
as she did mauy of the sterling qnalities that go to make a
good dog. In the field she was more than an average, as a
brood bitch ona of the best, as"B companion kindatfeotionate,
and obedient. To say I feel her loss keenly, to say tjat bad
I lost one of my own flesh and blood I could not feel muob
more, cannot convey to you any idea of just how I do feel
and jet she was only a 'Dog",

It is some consolation to know that I have two bi-ches of
her get, one by Point, and one by Scout Croxteth, yet I feel
thiit they will never attain the high estimation that I had of
their mother. She was due to whelps to Point the day after
she died.

A local light in pointer breeding circles sends us a fewnoteB
iu relation to the management of the Pacific Coast Field
triaU which may be read and carefully considered with pro-
fit. He writes:

*'Ab to a certain handler controlling the Pacific Coast Field
Trials Club, and running it for his personal benefit, that U

you know the facts as well as I. Neither do I wish to be

put down as a kicker, for if I or any one else does not lite
:he way the clnb conducts its trials we have our remedy in
withdrawing our entries, and if it is to be a one 7nan's club
;he entries will be light, notwithstanding the fact that con-
tracts are male with parties who receive presents of pups to
ran them in trials for three years.

We all have our hobbiesj to ra'se pointer pups and put
;bem to the front is mioe, tor I am afraid of no man's
pups be they pointers or setters, but when a breeder and
aandler controls the jadges and clnb it gives him an ad-
vantage, and it is a combination that is hard, to down."

Arsenic for Chorea.

Editor Breeder and Spobtsmax. — A young man, a friend
)f mine, has a Bmall dog puppy, when grown, will weigh
weoty or twenty five pounds, and a short time ago it was
aben with the jerks in the left fore shoulder. I advised him
o give him some Fowler's Arsenic.

He commenced with fonr diops twice a day, went op to
ifteen drops twice a day, then dropped off one drop a day
intil four drops twice a day from starting point. I saw him
•esterday, and he said he didn't think he wa3 any better.

The puppy is five or sis months old and 3neand healthy —
;rows finer — good appetite, etc. Please prescribe for it.

Stockton, April 28, 1890. A. C. Savenpoet.

[It is with diffidence that we differ with so sound an
uthority in canine ills as Dr. Davenport, but accepting his
•elief that the pnppy is choreaic, it is suggested that some
mulsiou of Cod Liver Oil and the hypophosphites, together
rith sulphate of strychnia and a little iron would probably
educe a more perfect assimilation of food, and a general
anicity of the nervous tract which is thoseat of the tronblt

ceding of bones in plenty; preferably the soft bones of
alves. DogB very much eojoy gnawing them, and will
rush, Bwallow and digest them to an astonishing extent; the
esult being increased strength, sound bony parts, clean

Treatment of the Patient in Distemper.

As distinguished from the exhibition of remedial agents
rescribed by a competent medical adviser which might be
Allied treatment of the disease, the caie of the patient as to
jod, oleanliness and surroundings may be considered as of
tie utmost importance in distemper.

The medical aspect of treatment has been so often discussed
s to have reached a high development, but the care of the
atient is generally but perfectly conducted, and any
Qggestions on that line should be appreciatively received,
'he most recent and certainlv as sound as any, are offered
y an editorial writer in the English Kennel Gazette, Merlin,
y signature, who puts in clear and positive language the
jnvictions resultant upon long stady and extended exper-
;oce. Fie says that isolation is the first thing necessary
'hen distemper is discovered in a kennel.

All dogs attacked must be placed in dry, well-ventilated
uarters, which must be warmed artiSeially if the weather be
aid. These quarters must be qaite separate from the or-
inary kennels, and great care must be taken to prevent those
•ho attend the sick dog-t from carrying infection to healthy
oes. A special jacEet, a large apron, and gloves, shonld.be
■orn by the attendant while in the "hospital," and should
e taken off and left there, to be donned again at every visit
> the patients Mere separation would be useless if the at-
mdant. were allowed to pass from diseased to healthy dogs
ithout such precautions as are here indicated. Everything
eeded for use about the sick dogs, feeding pans, drinking
essels, sponges, etc , should be carefnlly cleansed nit -r use,
nd should not be nsed for any other dogs, being kept in the
ck quarters so long as they are needed.

When distemper ends fatally, it is usually because of the
xtreme exhaustion due to the fever, or because of complica
oob, due to exposure to colds or to other canses. The
trengthening of the patient by nourishing food is of the
rat importance, but there is frequently a great difficulty in
dministering food, as the disease is accompanied bv extreme
Titability oc the Btomach and intestines. Nourishing food
mat be given regularly, whether the patients like it or
ot. Beef tea and raw eges are specially valuable, and a
pouted feeding cup should be osed for pouring these and
thei liquids down the patient's throat. Beef jelly is also
specially valuable in these cases, and raw be*!, minced or
irraped, is perhaps still more valvable, for a pill of Bcraped
eef may be given, when the stomach is so irritable as to re-
>ct every form of liquid nourishment.

Lime water is especially valuable in correcting the irrita-
ility of the stomach and intestines. It may be obtained
*om any chemist, or may be prepared in a few hours by any
erson. A piece of unslacked lime the size of a hen's ef g
hould be placed in a large bottle with about three pints of

ater, and the bottle should be well shaken till the lime is
lorougbly broken up. After the lime has settled the clear

ater should be poured into another bottle and kept for use.
[ilk should be diluted with an equal proportion of lime

ater, and the addition of a spoonful of sherry or of brandy
j each cupful of milk, and water will be of special value as a
simulant.

For the first day or two the patients will doubtleas lake
roths, etc., pretty freely, but afterward they will probably
sfuss everything. A cupful of milk and nine water, or of
eef tea, should oe given, forcibly if necessary, about every
>ot or five hours, and a raw egg might with advantage be
dded to each cup of beef tea. If there be vomiting, smaller
uantities muBt be given more frequently, If all liquids are
ejected by the stomach, beef jelly should be given, a tea
poonful about every two hours, or raw beef scraped and
lade into pills should be pushed down the throat at similar
itervals.

Nothing has been said about medicine, because, as already
tated, the treatment of the disease itself is a matter for a

ronerly qualified Feterinary surgeon. Some owners treat

rdinary cases of distemper without veterinary assistance,
elying chiefly on quinine and on careful nursing. It U

oped that these may find something useful in the foregoing

notes, although the hints as to feeding are intended chiefly
for those who nurse distempered dogs that are under skilled
veterinary treatment.

The nose and eyes of a patient most be frequently cleansed
with a sponge, which should be rinsed in hot water contain-
ing a disinfectant strong enough to destroy disease germ*,
food and drinking pans, aprons, gloves, and everything else
used in the hospital, should be scalded before being put
sway, or taken into ordinary use. All woodwork should also
he thoroughly scrubbed with hot water, containing a reliable
disinfectant in proper strength.

A New Foundland bitch fiive years old, black, with white
star in brisket, and a fine intelligent animal may be found on

One of the finest and most remarkable coursing matches
ever run in the State came off at "Tule,' Johnson's ranch
on the Marysville road near Sacramento on Sunday last.
It was a match race between Bell Boy, reared and owned in
that city by L. Stuart Upson, and Snowball, owned by Mr*
O'Connor of Penryn, Placer county. The latter dog has
been recognized as one of the beBt in the State, and bears a
high reputation in coursing circles in San Francisco. It was
thought that he would surely beat the Sacramento dog, and
had backers in plenty. He was run under the management
of Major Neary, who has had great experience in coursing.

The match waB the best three in five, and was a "corker''
from the Bt-art. Bell Boy won the first course, making six
points to his adversary's three. Snowball won the second-
the third and fourth were declared no race; the fifth was won
by Snowball; the sixth was no race.

The dogs had been severely punished by these six heats,
and Snowball seemed quite distressed, while Bell Boy (in
pngilistic parlance) came up for the seventh round in good
shape. He won the race handily, Snowball "not being in it."

Bell Boy showed not only great speed, but remarkable
staying powers, and by defeating 6ueh a true and tried dog
as Snowball is entitled to championship honors. He is
royally bred, being by Cato, ex-Blue Nell. Cato is by Bradly,
and Blue Neil is by Blue Jacket. This breeding shows that
Bell Blue comes legitimately by his great racing qualities,
as all the dogs named were phenomenals in their day.

Nolhwitbstanding the fact that it has been proved time
and again since the commencement of the world that the dog
is man's best friend, a good many cranks would like to see
every dog in the country either poisoned and thrown to the
buzzards, or converted into the succulent appetizing sausage
says an exchange. This is a great mistake, as a dog in its
proper place — and it is easy enough to keep them there — is a
great benefit to mankind in general, and often save the lives
and property of its master.

W. Blake, who lives about a quarter of a mile this side of
Daunt Tulare County, had a couple of dogs that proved an
exception to the rule, but now alas, they are numbered with
the things that have passed. It appears that about 2 a. m.
last Monday week, a large Californiau lioness accompanied
by two cubs wandered down to Blake's place in search of
provender, and seeing a plomp yearling colt, the property of
the aforesaid gentleman nonchalantly roaming about at a
short distance from its dam, the lioness concluded that oolty
was her meat, and straightway made for the unsuspecting
quadruped, in that crouching and stealthy manner so peon
liar to animals of the leonine species.

GettiDg within springing distance of her intended victim
she was in the act of making the fatal leap, when a couple of
sheep dogs, belonging to Blake, and a large white retriever
owned by A. J. Doty, evidently enielling something sus-
picious, appeared upon the scece and attacked the lioness,
and a terriole fight ensued. The colt becoming scared ran to
its mother; and the noise awakening Blake he rushed out to
the scene of the conflict, but only in time to citch a dim
glimpse ot the lioness and her cubs as they disappeared in
the darkness. His two dogs lay torn almost to shreds, and
quite dead on the ground, while Doty's dog was badly lacera-
ted th'-t he will probablv have to be killed. From the pieces
of fur lying aboat, and the cut up grouod where the fight oc-
corred the dogs must have made a terrific stand against their
powerful adversary, and the only pity is that they were not
victorious. A party of hunters started after the trio, but aa
we have not heard of their capture or death, the probabilities
are that they are on the high road to Modoc or some part
of the county.

One of my colte haa got a large swelling on both sides of
the bead and also between tbe jaw. She feeds well and does
not appear to softer much. What is best to be done to re-
duce tbe enlargement?

Answer. — In all probability your colt has strangles. I woold
advise yon to ponltice tbe swellings, till they get soft, then
open at the lower part with a sharp knife. Give him good
nutritious food and seethst he is kept warm bdI comfortable.
Isolate the animal from tbe rest of your stock, for a time,
otherwise the others will be likely to become affected.

C. O. S.

A valuable bitch belonging to me has the mange very bad-
ly. I have tried all Boris of remedies but without any good
result. Can you Bssist me with your advice?

Answer — I would advise you first to well wash the bitoh
with carbolic soap and warm water, dry thoroughly, then ap-
ply olive oil six ounces, oil of tar fonr ounces, sulphur three
ounces, c rbolic acid two drams. Rub the mixture well in
with the hand or a soft brush, and let it remain on twenty-
four hours, then remove with soap and water and reapply tbe
applioation. Two dres-dDgs will be sufficient Keep the bowels
open, and do not feed on any meat for some time.

Beve d'Or Wins the City and Suburban Handicap.

Loxdon, April 23.— This was the second and last day of
the Epsom Spring meeting. The principal race of the day
was for the City and Suburban Handicap, for three-year-olds
and upward; about one mile and a quarter (sixty-six sub-
sciibers). It was won by the Duke of Beaufort's sis- year -
old chestnut mare Eeve d'Or, by Hampton, out of Queen of
the Roses. Baron de Hirsch's four-year-old bay colt Vasis-
tas, by Idus, out oi Veranda, was second, and Mr. J. Low-
ther's four-year-old chestnut colt Workington, by Cbaribert,
out of Hematite, third.

The other starters were Pioneer, Gold. Surbiton, Bojal
Star, Swift, Bena, St. Kieran, Antibes, Qaartus, Kaikoura,
lnDisbeen and Sabrioa.

The post odds were 7 to I against Beve d'Or. 50 to 1 against
Vasistai, 11 to 1 against Workington, 5 to 2 against Pioneer,
8 to 1 against Gold. 14 to 1 agiinst Surbiton, 17 to 1 against
Royal Star, 22 to 1 against Swift and Bena, 25 to 1 against
St. Kieran, 33 to 1 against Antibes, 40 to 1 each against
Qaartus, Kaikoura and Innisheen, and 100 to 1 against
Sabrina. Royal Star made the play to the stra ght. °Here
Reve d'Or and Yasistas headed him and raced home, Reve
d'Or winning by a neck. Vasistas was three leogths'ahead
of Workington. Time, 2:12.

The race for the Hyde Park Plite, for two-year-olds at b'va
farlongs straight was won by Lord Elles mere's brown Hlly
Sabra, by St. Simon, out of Belinda, by a length. Mr. H.
Nixon's chestnut colt Hindebert was 6econd, half a length
before Lord Londonderry's gray colt Dereham. Betting— 6 to
4 Sabra, 10 to 1 Hildebert and 5 to 2 Dereham.

Grindiaar Oats-

Grinding oats to a coarse meal for winter food, says The
Horse World, is certainly an advantage to the owner as we\\
as the horse. When fed whole, a varying proportion of them
pass off unmasticated and undigested. Some people have
claimed that the ga3lric juices of the stomach extracted all
the nourishment out of an oat kernel, if passed through in
its original form. The folly of this assumption is, however,
demonstrated by the fact that chickens and pigs will get (at
on such oats, hence they must be rich in nutriment; again,
such oats will grow when planted, whioh is a still stronger
proof of their composition having remained unimpaired. The
damage sustained when oats are passed undigested is two-
fold; first, in the oats themselves, and second, in the loss of
energy by the horse, which haB gone through the physical ef-
forts of swallowing, salivatiog and passing them without any
compensation therefrom. With high bred hois*e destined
for a career, where absolute superiority is the universal de-
sideratum, this seemingly trifling matter is well worth con-
sidering. It has been argued that, when ground oats are fed,
the powers of mastication Bre not properly exercised end that
a deficiency results in the amount oi saliva given out by the
glands This argument hinges on another wrong assump-
tion. It has been amply demonstrated by modern scientists
that a How of saliva will occnr regardless of mastication.
Who has not yet fxperiencod the sensation of the soliva com-
ing copiously into tbe mouth at sight of something good to
eat?

Grim's Gossip.

Tenny is now tirst choice for the Suburban with Bacelaod
and Prince Royal close up.

Jockey Hayward has joined the Hearst Stable at Sheep3-
headaDd is daily in the saddle.

The Fresno meeting is advertised this week, and will re-
ceive proper mention in the nest issae.

If Kelly & Samuels go East Pliny and Ed McGinniB will be
the only two of the string to be ta&en along.

If there is a heavy track on the day that the Brooklyn
Handicap is run, Lob Angeles fihonld stand a very good show
to win.

A fact not generally kDown is that the late Aristides Welch
was, with Horace Greely and others, one of Jefferson Davis'
bondsmen.

Los AngeleB, Sorrento, Rico, Flood Tide and Honduras,
are the rive California horses remaining in the Brooklyn
Handicap.

Rico is under the weather slightly, and unless he picks up
on the j jurney across the continent it is 2 to 1 that he will
not be a starter.

A stable of thoroughbreds from Palo Alto will be on the
California Circuit this year. The string will include Peel,
Riofax, Muta and several others.

It is reported that the programme arranged for the comiDg
fair at Los Angeles includes a subscription purse of $2,000
for all horses eligible to the 2:30 class.

Week before last a stallion show was given at Lexington,
Ky.. which 5000 persons witnessed. There should be more
of these exhibitions given in California.

Lovers of good horses should pay a visit to the Bay District
track any morning, and see what the trainers have on hand.
There is many a good one being worked out every day.

W. S. MoLanghlin, better known as Billy McLiughlio, the
veteran jockey, died at Grace Hospital, Detroit, Mich., on
Thursday, April 17, from a complication of diseases.

Ross expects to go East with Kitty Van and Oro. Tom
Williams made a proposition to have Kitty Van go aloDg in
his stable, but it is doubtful if Ross will consent to this.

Ed Bither of Jay-Eye-See and Phallas fame is located at
Charter Oak Park, in charge of nineteen head of Allen Farm
trotters, some of which will be seen at the front btfore Fall.

The young Btallion, AlexMc Gregor, 18S6, known by many
breeders throughout the West, died in Peoria, April 25th
He was one of the finest bred and most promising grandsons
of Robert McGregor.

Othello ib the last Sultan to get a record better than 2:30.
In a match race betwen Othello and P. Q. (pacer) at Los An-
geles last Friday week, the trotter won in three straight heats
the fir.it heat being trotted in 2:284.

The Sporting World says that "Mr. Thomas Maguire, who
was the pioneer of theatricals on the Paci6c Coast, now a re-
sident here, is one of the most ardent turf lovers we have. He
is rarely misled from the Jersey tracks."

We take pleasure in calling attention to the large advertise-
ment of Gombault's Caustic Balsam which appears on page
399. We hear the remedy highly spoken of by horsemen
who have used it, and we think our readers can afford to
give it a trial.

Theodore Winters Esq.. was represented at the Belle Meade
Bale and his agent purchased a brown yearling colt by Iro-
quois, dam Valerian by Vandal. Price $2,000: also the brown
ytarling colt by Iroouois, dam Toplight by Great Tom.
Price, $1,600.

Someone is evidently backing the California horse Floodtide
for the Brooklyn Handicap, as several of the "books" have
him rubbed off, and the announcement is made that they are
"full." Probably his owner, R. Porter Ashe, has sent on a
commission,

The Mountain Boy foals which have appeared so far, are
all marvels of beauty and the owners of the various ones,
each claim that hi» individual cneis the beat. By Holly
made a wondrous good trade the day that he secured this fine
eon of Kentucky Prince.

From Eastern exchanges I learn that Bow Bells has been
injured and it is not deemed advisable to trot him for a re-
cord this year. If the report be true, the Hermitage stud
owners will bQ sadly disappointed as part of their plans were
to give the eolt a low record this season.

Mr. W. H. "Wilson, of Abdallah Park Cynthiana, Ky., has
purchaaed of A. J. Feek, Syracuse, N.Y., the mare Black
June (dani of Rosa Wilkes 2;l8i and Simmons 2;28, the sire
of 9, 2:30 performers at ten years old) by Mambrino Patcben.
She will probably be stinted to Sultan 2;24.

Edwin C. 2:15, the pacer lately sold by Mr. Johnston to
par ies in the East, was not sent on the Hickok car, as the
final payment had not been made. Some fifteen hundred
dollaTB is Btill due on the horse, and JohLBton refuses to ship
until full settlement is made. Perftetly right to.

In the next i°sue of the Breeder and Sportsman we will
try to give the full list of entries for the various races, which
closed on May 1st. Secretaries of all associations will pleaBe
forward lists as soon as possible, and alBo a list of all second
payments on stakes that have closed in the paBt.

The Eros foals of 1890 are far above the average and happy
owners of the promising colls aie to be met every day. Mr.
Burke will give this Bon of Electioneer a chance to reduce
bis record during the present year and those moat likely to
know, claim that 2:20 is not too low a mark for him.

Mr Davidson, one of the Directors of the new agricultural
association that will have headquarters at Modesto, has been
viaitiug the various trucks in this vicinity during the week,
for the purpose of gaining all necessary information as to the
building of their tiack, whioh the members have determined
anall be the equal of any in the state. This point is exceed-
ingly desirable as a trotting horse ceotre, as tbe breediog in-
terests in that neighborhood are large, and tne track will be
h desirable one for horsemen when traveling between Stock-
ton and Fresno.

Jaok Garrity is moving his chestnut pacer by Sidney, dam
Humming Bird along at a lively rate and the victors to the
Bay District track are satisfied that at last Jack has one that
will be hard to beat. Old Humming Bird was the fastest
pacing mare I ever saw, and it is only natural that from a
union with Sidney, that the produce should be of the world
beater variety.

Mr. Cyrus Berry one of the administrators of the estate of
S. B. Emerson, has determined to settle in California, and to
that end haB sent in his name as a member of the Trotting
Horse Breeders Association. The late Mr. Emerson was de-
votedly attached to the trotting hotse interests, and it is a
pleasure to note that his nephew, Mr. Berry, is also inclined
the same way.

Governor Waterman haB appointed the following Agricul-
tural Director,: John MoBeth, of Plumas county, a Direotor
of the Eleventh District Association; C. N. Thawing, of Sut-
ter county, a Director of the Thirteenth D. strict Association,
vice J. H. Kimball, resigned; Wm. H. Hammond and R. E.
Hyde, of Tulare county, members of the Fifteenth District
Association.

T D. Meyers, the real estate dealer of Oakland, is at pres-
ent in Kentucky, picking up the brood mares which he haB
bought from time to time, and which he proposes to bring
out to California within the next few days. While at Lexing-
ton he attended the WoodarJ sale and was fortunate enough
to purchase a full sister to Minnehaha, another gem to add
to his collection. The price paid was only $800, and a lare
good bargain it is.

Some time ago Mr. Valensin was commissioned to buy a
good mare that could trot in 2:20 for a gentleman in Italy.
He fully intended to procure WaDita 2:20i. but circumstances
prevented him from visiting Mr. Beckwith at Evanston, or he
would have bought the young mare. I hear that the Sire
Bros, have finally secured her and that John E Turner will
have the handling of her on the circuit. Wanita is by Aber-
deen, dam Wvoming Belle by Lowe's Pilot, 2nd dam Juanita
by Pilot Jr. "

"Lucky" Baldwin tells me that he is not training aDy of
his horses for the California Circuit, but will ship another
lot EaBt about May 10th, including Laredo and the Emperor
of Norfolk. The gentleman claims that the latter is as sound
as he ever was and expects good reports from him this year.
Baldwin will start East himself in the course of a few weeks
and will be in attendance at all the events where his horses
are entered.

"Leslie E. Macleod," says the Piince Edward Island Ag-
riculturist, "another brilliant light amongst them, an author-
ity on all that treats and touches of the standard trotter —
seems to have the magic touch of pen that captivates the
American readers, in telling the never tiring story of how the
world beateis are bred. Well, Leslii first saw the li^hltjdown
here by the murmuring sea and we have reason to be proud
of him, for he is a 'star performer' in his class, respected and
applauded by thousands of his new made American friends.'*

Pete Woods seems to have caught on, and before another
week rolls around, he will have a tine Btring at work at the
Bay District. The Grosvenor colt, owned by E. Topham of
Milpitas, ib showing up well, as is also the chestnut mare
from Del Bosque Rancho. She is a Gibraltar, and will prove
one of the fast ones. Dixie by Altamont should add another
to the list of his sire, as he can trot better than a "30"' gait
even this early in the seaBon. iJ'our new ones will be sent to
Mr. Woods next week, one of which should prove "good
goods."

Throughout the great north-west, the trotting boom is still
on the move, and I learn that at many of the tracks through-
out Oregon and Washington, the good work has already com-
menced. At Spokane the beautiful course has been entirely
reclayed, making a decided improvement. "Doo" Lindsey
haB a string already on the move, mid he promises to make
it warm for those that may have to contend against his rivers
thiB season. Joe Crabb, of Walla Walla, sayB that their track
is in good shape, and expects to see the Washington horses
beat all their previous records this year.

The miny friends of Dick Havey will be pleased to hear
that he will have charge of the Palo Alto horses during the
absence of Mr. Marvin, with the Extern division, and will
also drive behind the Palo Alto horses that are to be seen on
the California tracks this season. Dick is no Btranger at
Menlo Park, having woiked there years ago, and fully under-
stands the Marvin methods. A good driver, and splendid
conditioner, with nerve enough to take advantage of any slip
made by his competitors, Dick should prove the necessary
sort of man to fill the bill, and we wish him lack in his new
position.

A new law in Indiana pertains to the service fee ot stal-
lions and requires registry of stock horses with the clerks of
circuit courts. One of tbe requirements of the law is as fol-
lows: "That a copy of such license embracing such sworn
statements and pedigree, with the fee the owner proposes to
charge for service, shall be posted by the owner of snch sire
in two or more conspicuous places in tbe vicinity of the place
where the sire is kept for service, and should aDy part of said
sworn statement be to the knowledge of the owner of such
sire false in any particular, the owner shall not be entitled to
collect any fee for such service, and the falsity of such state-
ment, or any part thereof, may be pleaded in the bar to any
contract or account for services of such sire."

Baseball is said to be the national sport, but the amount of
capital inveBted in tbe baseball parkB and clubs and players
of the United States is trifling compared to that which is
represented by the American race-co\irses, stables, jockeys,
trainers and nags, Bays the World. The Monmouth Park
track and improvements will not be valued at lesBthan $700,-
000; the New York Jockey Club's new tracks, grand stand
and olub-honse are estimated to have cost $2,000,000; the
Coney Islaud's track is put at $300,000; the Brooklyn at
$200,000, (he Linden aud Elizabeth each at $150,000. The
aggregate of these estimates is three aud a half million dol-
lars, and many millions more would not represent tbe value
of the horse-flesh that runs on those tracks. Many of the
richest men in the United StateB make money out of race-
horses and race-courses. Wm. K. Vaoderbilt owns the
Coney Island Jockey Club, practically, and Wm. L. Scott and
the Dwyers oontrol the Brcoklyn Jockey Club,

A. J. Cassatt, who is estimated aB a two-millionaire, and Mr.

For the sanguine temperament wanted in every horse, the
heart and lungs must be large and good. Of these we cau
judge something by the frame that conlains them. If the
chest i& small and circular, there will not be room for euough
heart and lung power. If it is large and circular there will
be room for large heart and lungs, but Btill the lungs will on-
ly be able to work by pressing on the other vital organs, as
a circular chest will resist all efforts to expand it. If the
chest is deep and capacious it can expand and contract with
every breath, and can thus meet any extraordinary demands
made upon it, provided the Inngs are healthy and good, and
the heart, air passages, and supplying pipe are all duly pro-
portioned to them. But all these ifs and buts can only be
securely decided by a trial of the horse's wind power under
Bevere exertion. We cannot look inside, aDd if fifty things
are right and one wrong, that one will put its limit on the
horse's breathing power, and consequently on his capacity
for exertion.

It is a pleasure to meet breeders of the type of S N.
Stiaube, and it is very few in the country that can show
three such rare good stallions as Clovis 4909, Apex 8935 and
Junio2:22. The last mentioned one has jast been purchased
by Mr. Straube, so he tells me, from A. M. Gonzalez, and io
future that game son of Electioneer will grace the harem at
Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, Fresno County, The young
Clovis colts and also those by Apex will be handled this yeai
by Matt Dwyer, who was understudy at Palo Alto for Mr.
Marvin, and is thoroughly capable of putting on the finish-
ing touches to a trotting horse. As will be seen by reference
to the foals of 1890 in this issue, Mr. Straobe has a fine lot
of youngsters already on tbe scene of aotioD, aod there ar<
many more of the mares to bear from yet. Mr. Straube bac
made a good name for himself amoog the breeders of Cali-
fornia, and he is juttly entitled to it, for there are none mort
conscientious in their dealings with the public.

The matrons that were sent to Oakland to receive tbe em

there is no likelihood of complaint. Tbe foals by Redwooi

plenty of indication that another Califomian horee will add

famous.

SACRAMENTO SPRING MEETING.

The initial spring meeting under the auspices of tbe State
agricultural Society began Saturday at the Capital city under
-,he most favorable conditions. The track was in tip-top con-
dition, the weather was perfect, and the racing furnished was
iret class. The attendance was not quite up to expectation,
int this was due to the many counter attractions of the day.
Che fair sex were well represented, and they lent eclat to the
>ccasion, with their elaborate costumes- Sacramento is noted
or ite pretty girls, and there was quite a galaxy of the wealth
md beauty of the capital city in the grand stand on the
ipeoing day. They appeared to evince the greatest interest
,n tbe equine struggles for supremacy, and many a pair of
laiotily gloved bands came in contact when their favorite
iame coder the wire first.

i Sacramento has always been famous as a race-horse center,
ii d many a gallant battle has been foogbt over the Agricul-
inral Park track. It was on this track that tbe celebrated
Norfolk made his great three-mile heat record. This was
ray back in the sixties, but even yet it is ever a fraitfnl
Dpic of conversation among old-time racing men. By the
ray, that record of Norfolk stands to this day. It was over
be Sacramento track that the celebrated El Rio Rey was
rat galloped, and rn*ny of the sensational California race-
orses first won their spurs at the Capital. city.
The phenomenal success of the California bred racehorse
n Eastern tracks during tbe paBt Beason, and the increased
i teres t and rapid development of the thoroughbred in tbe
?eat, induced the Sacramento people to come to the front
ith big stakes and purses as a further incentive to promote
le breeding industry in this State.

The officers of the day were, Judges:Mesers, LaRue, Green
ad Hancock. Timers: "Waterhouse, Wilson and Burns,
.arter; W. H. Coombs. The latter gentleman wielded the
*g in good stjle. The opening event on the card was the
mile purse. Seven sported silk for this event. Al Farrow
as made a red hot favorite. Kitty Van was not without
ipporters, but the race-goers who miDgle a little judgment
ith their betting, labored under the impression that the
oDtana mare had a little too much weight to pack. Very
.tie bettiog was done on the race. Al Farrow justified the
nfidence reposed in him by winning under a strong pull,
in got the place and Jackson finished third. This colt
.oold not be overlooked in the future. He is a racy look-
g animal, and is fashionably bred.

SUMMARY.

'he next event proved to be the betting race of the day,

every one of the nine starters had friends. It was the

' ing purse over a mile and a sixteenth course. The bet-

; fluctuated up and down. Oro was probably the real fa-

rite, but just before the race the talent plunged on Jou

and the Monday gelding was cut down to 3 to 1. There

quite a Sheridan contingent who also invested at odds of
& to one. Applause, Kildare and Welcome were well sup.
ted. There were a number of breakaways before the red

nant waved tbe gentle zephyrs. Welcome cut up as usub1(

got decidedly the worst of what was otherwise a splen-
1 d start. Applause, Jou Jou and Sheridan passed the stand

he head of Ihe procession. It waB a pretty race along tbe
| istretch, but Sheridan niataged to keep his nose in front,

ongb hard pressed by Jou Jon. Down the straight whips
I e brought into free play, but Sberidan was Dot to be de-

1 and won cleverly by several lengths. Kildare finished

second with Applause, Welcome and Oro close up and
bunched. The judges awarded the third place to Oro. The
Jou Jou crowd looked crestfallen.

THE CALIFORNIA OAKS.

This race was considered a cinch for the Palo Alto repre-
sentative. The filly won the race, but only by a scant nose
after a whipping finish It was by long odds tbe best race of
the day, and the Wild Idle filly Raindrop surprised the talent
by tbe wonderfully good showing she made. Appleby rode
judiciously, but many held the opinion that if he had come
up a little sooner, he might have captured tbe race. Starter
Coombs promises to develop into another Sheridan, for he
succeeded in getting the quintette off on very even terms.
The colors of Marigold were first distinguished in the front
van, with Kettie B. dancing attendance. A blanket would
have covered the condidates for the blue ribbon along the
baek-jtretoh. They were nicely bunched, rounding the bend
for the run home, except Raindrop, who '.was a couple of
lengths in the rear. Appleby called upon the tillv, and she
responded gallantly. A desperate race ensued down the
straight. Whips were used in a most determined manner.
Cries of "Muta wins, ""Look at Raindrop," were heard on all
side- as tbe two leaders rushed up towards the wire. At the
distance po3t Raindrop looks all over a winner, but Narvaez is
equal to the occasion, and making a last effort, captured the
California Oaks with the Palo Alto representatives.

and he came with a big rush such as only a great racehorse
can make, and turning into the straight witb a slight lead
the Chris Green Handicap was all over but the shontiog.
There was a great fight for second place, Lrongstreet snatsh-
*ng the victory from Mikado in the last half a dozen strides
by the shortest of heads. The victory of Al Farrow was a
popular one and tbe speedy son of Conner was given an ova-
tion when the jockey returned to be weighed in. Ei. McGiu-
nis failed to show up as well as his backers anticipated. In
fact, his running was a disappointment to many. Mikado ran
a good race, especially when it is remembered that it was his
first appearance thiB year. Longshot demonstrated the faot
that he can stay a distance ineood company.

SUMMARY.

The mile and a sixteenth proved to be a good betting race,
and each one of the three starters had a host of supporters.
The betting veered round in a most peculiar fashion, and
Picnic, Captain Al and Carmen alternated as favorites. In
the pools Captain Al was the favorite all the time. Carmen
and Picnic led past the stand, but Carmen disputed the hon-
or rounding the bend. At the half Picnic and Carmen were
neck and neck with Captain Al two lengths behind. On the
home turn Hennesay shook up Captain Al and tbe race be-
gan in earnest. Captain Al with his light weight outstayed
his competitors and won comfortably from Pionic.

THE SECOND DAY.
Tuesday morning opened up cloudy but old Sol asserted
his supremacy before noon and the weather was pleasant, not"
withstanding the breeze that swept over the grounds. The
attendance was larger than on the opening day but not in
keeping with the sport offered for the patronage of the pub-
lio.

Mr. Coombs again handled the flag to the satisfaction of
ever> body and the Breeder and Sportsman representative
will take time by the forelock and dub the gentleman from
Napa, "the Sheridan of the West." Messrs. Storn Green and
Hancock were in the judges* stand and their decisions were
never questioned. Altogether it waB & field day for the back-
ers of the favorites. The festivities were inaugurated with
the Matadero Stake for two-year-olds. L. J. Bose telegraphed
trainer Bridges not to start Fairy and in consequence it de-
veloped upon Conrad to uphold the prestige of the new
stable. The four to contest for this stake were Rinfax, Con-
rad, The Brake and Minnie B. The Palo Alto entry was a
decided favorite in the betting and went to the post at three to
five. Conrad was backed to some extent. A capital start
was effected without much difficulty. Rinfax set out to
make the pace and was soon a length and a half ahead of the
other trfo who raced locked along the backstretch. The gap
was lessened between the leader and the field before turning
into the straight, but Einfax came away at every stride when
called upon. Conrad finished second but the judges very
properly gave second money to Minnie B. Half way down
the straight, Monaghan plied his cat gut on Conrad, who
swerved across the track and interfered, with Minnie B
throwing her out of her stride.

but just before the race the stock of Ed McGinnis roBe very
considerably. He jumped from $12 to $19 in the pools with
lightning rapidity, owing to the over anxiety of several to get
on a pool on the eon of Grin«tead. Then again there were
tbose who couldn't see where Raindrop could lose with only
98 pounds to pack. So to make a long story short, the flag
was dropped to a splendid start. The Dennison entries were
sent in the lead and the order passing the stand was, Hots-
pur, G W. MikadoandEdMcGinnis.Itwasaprettyracealong

rjole. Soon after the shout,went np 'Look at Al Farrow coming'

Only three faced the starter for the Weinstock and Lubin
Stake and the lot were all bred at Palo Alto. Of course,
Bacine was a terrific favorite, the bookies risking one dollar
for every eight dollars handed them. Bacine was admired
on all sides when he made his appearance on the track. He
looked in grand fettle. Eico is not a good looker, his neck
being too crane like. It was generally expected that either
Pliny or Rico would, at least, be able to extend the pride of
Palo Alto. Pliny was a little obstreperous at tbe start, but
after a little delay the trio were sent on their journey. Ra-
cine soon forged to the front. He led the Brooklyn Handi-
cap candidate a length at the quarter, which he increased to
a length and a half before half the journey had been negotia-
ted. Narvaez was pulling double on the BiBhop colt and the
veriest tyro could see that the race was all over. Racine Ral-
loped under the wire an easy winner. Pliny came with a
rush near the end and beat Rico home. The opinion is very
general that Racine could have made the mile in 1:40£, if he
had been extended.

THIRD DAY.

The raceB on Thursday were better patronized than on the
preceding days. Many of the fair daughters of Sacramento
occupied seats in the grand stand and the band rendered ex-
cellent selections between races. The day waB a delightful
one, there being just enough breeze to make it pleasant for
the spectators.

The opening event proved to be a capital race. Seven well
bred youngsters sported silk and the parade preliminary to
the race was watched with considerable interest.

Rover, a slashing looking Wildidle, was tbe favorite, and
the gold rolled in on bim. Take Notice and Prince'* First
were not without admirers. It waB Prince's first debut. He
is a handsome looker, and old Dan Dennison bad his idol
gaily decorated with pink ribbon. It took some little time to
effect a start, Kiro refusing to come up to the other horses,

with King Hooker in the rear of the procession. At the quar-
ter Leland was in the lead, with the other horses bunched.
Prince's First challenged the leader, and wbb in advance at
the half. A slashing race now ensued, and whips were plied
vigorously after turning into the straight. Rover begun to
improve his position, but it was anyone's race half way down
the stretoh. Half a furlong from home Rover shot out of
the crowd and won by a length. Kiro was second and Leland
beat Prince's First by the shortest of heads for third place.

Lady Lynwood for filly foaled April 25, lSQn, by Lyuwood,
dam Maggie V by Nephew. Entered in Breeder and
Sportsman's Futurity Stake. P. Visher,

Many times since assuming the editorial contrd of the
Breeder And Sportsman we have been asked, "how
can we insure first class horses?" and have always had
to answer that we knew of no reliable association that
would take such risks as the owners required. However,
this week we have an advertisement from a newly
started enterprise which is called the Pacific Coast Live
Stock Owners' Protective Association. A careful pe-
rusal of their pamphletB and the many inquiries made
from those who have agreed to back the enterprise with
their money, leads us to the belief that this one should
prove beneficial to all owners of stock who may see fit to
join the association.

The President of the Association, Hon. B. "V. Sargent
of Monterey, a gentleman of wealth and extended ac-
quaintance among the leading stock raisers of the coast,
called at this office on Saturday last, and stated that he
was satisfied in his own mind that the company was one
long needed by stock men and that he was willing to
give it his earnest support, that while he did not expect
that he would be called upon personally to have to pay
any large sums of money, still he was fully prepared to
indorse the enterprise with his wealth and he was sat-
isfied that it would not take long to put the association
on a paying basis. The only person who will receive a
salary is Mr. Yolney Howard, who for many years has
been well and favorably brown to all the Insurance
Companies of the Pacific Coast, and he has received the
unqualified indorsement in his new position, of all the
companies for whom he has evsr worked. "With Mr.
Howard's long experience it will enable him to quickly
start reliable agencies wherever the Association may
choose to operate.

We are also told that if the losses after a fair trial ne-
cessitate burdensome and impracticable rates all losses
will be paid any way, and the Association will be dis-
banded with possible loss only to its wealthy projectors.
The Association is not only founded for the purpose of
insuring live stock but in its articles of incorporation
the fact is stated that the objects of the Association will
be suppression and the prevention of the spread of any
and all coutageous and infectious diseases of live slock
and the prevention of the throwing upon the market di-
seased meat, and to assist in the suppression of any in-
fectious and contagious diseases of live stock, and also
bv proportionate subscription to indemnify all members
owing live stock and holding indemnity certificates from
the loss arising from the death of the same by reason of
such disease.

We would suggest to those of our readers who may be
interested in this matter to send to Mr. Howard at the
general business office of the company, which is located
at Room 73, Flood Building, Market street, San Fran-
cisco, for a copy of the rules, regulations and by-laws
of the Association so they may thoroughly understand
what the company has been started fur, and the benefits
that will be derived by those who may join.

At present there is a great field in California for such
an Association if properly conducted, and from the
gentlemen who are connected with the enferprise it seems
to us as though it should be highly successful.

The Year Book.

It is with great pleasure that we acknowledge the re-
ceipt of a complimentary copy of Wallace's Year Book
covering all the trotting and pacing races which tooK
place during the year 1889, and the trotting and pacing
records of all time. As is well known to all who
have followed the publication of this work, it im-
proves year by year, and the volume now before us is no
exception to the general rule. It could not be more com-
plete than it is, it being full of the best information de-
sirable of all horsemen, and there is hardly anything
than one may choose to look up but what can be found
within its cov#rs.

The first part of the book, covering 193 pages, is de-
voted entirely to the trotting and pacing races which
took place last year throughout the United States. We
also find an alphabetical list of all *:he horses that trotted
slower than 2. 40 during 1889. Then follows an alpha-
betical tabulated list of 3851 trotting horses who have
secured records of 2:30 or better; and the pacers have not
been forgotten as we find a like table comprising 962 of
them.

Part third of the volume is a great table of all 2.30
horses under their sires to the close of 1889, giving the
pedigree and history of sires of 2:30 trotters, with such
of their sons and daughters as have a representative in
the 2.30 list. This is a very full and complete table, and
while there may be some errors, as is only likely in such
a work, still it is one of tbe most complete that we have
ever seen.

Another spction of the work is devoted to a table of all
trotting horpes with a record of 2:20 or better; while still

another table is given of the same performers alphabeti-
cally arranged under their sires to the close of 1889.

Part six is a table of horses who are the sires of two or
more dams of 2:30 performers, but are not the sireB o*
any 2:30 tro'ters themselves. This fills quite a want
that was noticeable in Vol. IV., and is of great service to
the student1

As usual a table of great brood mares is given, a table
that is intended to include, first: all mares who have
produced two or more performers with records of 2:30 or
better, one of which being a trotter, Second All mares
who have produced one 2:30 trotter and another son or
daughter that has sired or produced a 2:30 trotter.

Part eight is a table cf mares who are the dams of two
or more producing sous and daughters, but are not them-
selves the dams of any 2:30 trotters.

We also find a table of the fastest records including
both trotters and pacers-

The indexes alone take up 46 pages in the work, and
by that it will be seen what a very comprehensive work
it is.

The book is a beautiful, large octavo, over 500 pagon,
bound in green and gold. No man who wishes to be in-
formed on trotting-horses and trotting-blood can afford
to be without it. Published at S2.50. post-paid, by
Wallace Trotting Register Company, 280 Broadway,

Eureka Jockey Club.

As will be noticed by retiring to the advertising col
umns, the Eureka Jockey Club sets before our reader*
this week a four days' programme for their annual July
meeting, commencing on the second day of that month
For several seasons the horBemen of California haft
looked forward with pleasure to their annual visit tc
Humboldt County, as the purses are always liberal, tb(
management of the best, and the hospitality extended,
unsurpassed. In looking over the list we find that tht
majority of the races are devoted to the thoroughbreds
still the trotters have not been neglected, as there is 6
purse for tbe three-minute class, and also a pur«e for tut
2:40 class. The running races include all sorts, from b
half mile and repeat to dashes of a mile and a quarter
The trotting races are best three in five, with four tt
enter and three to start, but the Board of Director!
reserves the right to hold a less number than four to fil
by the withdrawal of a proportionate amount of th<
purse in tho trotting races; the rules of the America!
Trotting Association to govern, and in the running races
as uBual the Pacific Coast Blood Horse rules will be the
guide.

The Secretary, J. P. Monroe, Esq,, will receive entries
up to Thursday, June 20th, at which time the list closer
Eutry blanks will be furnished upon application.

The Beginning of a New Bra.

Many of our readers will remember an exchange o
complimeuts that took place during the past winter be
tween the .rotting horse and the thoroughbred men. Th
gist of the discussion was that while the trotter sold fv
the most money, thoroughbreds had far the greater earn
ing capacity. The back bone of the trotting industry i
the fact that it supplies the light harness horse of Amer
ica, aad for every one horse on the race track there an
dozens in the hands of pleasure drivers. The usefulues
of running horses is of course much less, and they h»v<
not the same adaptability to every day life; nevertheless
system has made it possible for running horses to ein
many times the amount that can be earned by trotteiB

The prospects for trotters could not be better thai
they are to-day, and this is largely due to the recogni
tion of the fact that large stakes must be organized fo
trotterB as well as for runners. These are begun whei
the horses that are to contest in them are mere colts; i
small first payment, with easy payments at differeii
intervals, enabling an owner to enter all his good colt!
and gradually select out those which promise best,
TheBe small payments when made by a great many ownj
ers and trainers, are not felt by the individual, and ruak
in the aggregate very desirable winnings.

The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake wai I
the opening wedge for stakes of this class for trottinj
colts of the Pacific Coast*. The great success and ex
tremely large entry Hat for this event is well known
285 first payments are a strong index of the great inter
est and belief in such stakes. Another event of tbi
same class, and for foals of 1890, is now offered by th
Goldru Gate Association. Entries close on May 15tb
tb.H nurse is $4000, the entrance but three per cent., Bo-
tha t with a first payment of only $10, tbe other pay
monta coming at intervals of about six mouths. A mor
liberal purse could hardly be offered, and the Ooldei
Gats Association deserves great credit for its enterpris
and liberality.

Beth of the above stakes will be trotted in 1893, wbei
the colts named therein will be three years of age. Tbi

^hx Hfrjeetfcer and j&portstttatf.

ggtegate value of these two stakes will be between
$8000 and $10,000, and as other Associations will un
doubtedly follow in the footsteps of this journal aud the
jrolden Gate Association; the best three-year-old of the
year 1893 will earn a small fottune. Nothing will do
nore to increase the value of this year's crop of colts;
let one that is engaged in this or any other large stakes
nakfl a good showing in his or her two-year-old form,
and its value will be immensely increased. The fact
that so much money is to be won will start every one
that possibly can, to begin picking up and training all
available material, and those that may be outclassed in
the great purses will have so many opportunities to earn
money in other events that the very number of pro-
spective competitors will surely bring out.

We send our colts East to be sold now; the Easterners
will come to us in '93.

This State can raise better baby trotter* than any
State in the Union, but if we are to do justice to our
natural advantages we must keep things moving and
give the colts of this Stite the best possible opportunity.

Contra Costa Agricultural Association.

Arooog the many other Associations to offer District
Colt Stakes for 1890, the Contra Costa County Agricul-
tural Association, known as District No. 23, announces
this week to our readers that they have opened a stake
for yearling trotters, for two-year olds and for three-
year-olds. The moneys will be divided into 60, 30 and
10 per cent, and as ihere are so many good stallions and
excellently well bred broodmares in the District, there
should be a long list of entries for each of the three
events. The entries do not close until June 1st, and the
payment in each stake has been made, $40, of which $10
is required w'teu the entry is made, $15 on September
1st and $15 on September 22d. The Fair will be held
from September 22d to 27th inclusive, and there is no
reason to believe but what it will be equally successful
with that of former years. Those living in the District
should read the advertisement carefully and make en-
tries in this stake.

The Haggin Sale.

Readers of the Breeder and Sportsman are requested
to read the last announcement of Messrs. Killip & Co.,
who will manage the annual sale of J. B. Haggin's
Stock, which takes place at the railroad stables, corner
of Turk and Steiner streets, San Francisco, on Thursday
next. Those who desire to purchase will have a chance
to examine the horses at the stables on and after to day.
The catalogues are now ready, and can be had on appli-
cation to the auctioneers.

The consignment is an extensive one, and consists of
road and harness horses, work and draught horses, and
several choice Shetland ponies This is a rare chance to
secure bargains, and should not be missed by those*who
are in need of first class animals.

and healthy and as sound as a bell. If she shows up this
year, although she may not lower Maud's record, she will
probably be left in Marvin's charge for another year, and be
brought back to California for another winter. She is num.
ber one — out of nine — on the list to go East to-day; the
second, Palo Alto 2:12} is a brilliant example of Senator
Stanford's thoroughbred theory. As a four yearold he made
an Eastern trip, losing one race against aged horses in
2:19|, 2:19} and 2:20, and winning eight others against aged
horses with- heats split np, and obtained a record of 2:20£
which he last year lowered to 2:13£ at Stockton and 2:12* at
the Trotting Horse Breeders meeting, and finally at Napa
lowered it to 2:12} with two breaks; the phenomenal perfor-
mances of the stallion fully warrant the belief that the
stallion record will assuredly be lowered by him. Palo Alto,
has served twenty names this season, and consequently has
not been in strict training, but looks the picture of healths
and the best news I heard of him, was from Mr. Marvin, who
said that bis foot has not bothered him in the least since last
fall Gertrude Russell 2:23J, full sister to Palo Alto, is a very
neatly turned bay mare with beautiful action and in good
trim for a journey, being much fitter than either of the
cracks. Marvin Bays that when he returns peop'e will not
be talking altogether of Palo Alto and Sunol, for Gertrude
will lower ber record at a clip that will astonish everyone
and if looks go for anything she should be go down
very low in the teens. Arol 2:24 by Electioneer, out of Aurora
2:27 lookiDg big and fat, is rather lame presumably in
her feet, but if she gets to a raoe all right should readily put
in three heats better than 2:20.

Navidad, b g, 5, by Whips 2:27|. out of Lady Thorn Jr.
dam of Santa Clans 2:17*, and Mollie Mack 2:30£, has shown
lots of spee ), and should be a very useful green horse. Am-
igo, a five year old brown stallion by Electioneer out of Na.
dine by "Wildidleout of Norah, sister to Charley Champlin
2:2U, is a big, powerful horse, with more of the Electioneer
thau the thoroughbred appearance, and is a very resolute fast
trotter. Colma is a neat, shapely, gray mare, 4 years old, by
Electioneer out of Sontag Mohawk, dam of Sallie Benton
2:17|. SpJtfc 2:22$, and Eros 2:29*. She should improve her
famous dam's record by going well inside thirty.

Willmontis a v^ry racy, handsome three yearold bay,
mare with grayish forehead, by Piedmont 2*17£, out of Wild-
flower 2:21 at 2 years old. She should prove a phenomenal
trotter.

And last, but by no means least, is Eleotrio Bell, a beauti-
ful brown colt, 2 years old, with a slightly Moor back, by
Electioneer out of Beantiful Bells 2:29£, and therefore a full
brother to Bell Boy 2:19J. Hinda Rose 2:19|, St. Bel 2:24 J,
and Palo Alto Bella 2:22£. Electric Bell will most decidedly
not disgrace his illustriouB relatives, and next year will find
him enrolled in the list of honor.

Such a brilliant collection of fast and highly bred trotting
horses have never left the State before, and the care and
skillful handling they will receive from Charles Marvin, who
is the peer of any man as a trotting horse educator and cam-
paigner, should make them all more renowned than ever.
The stable will go to Terra Haute, thence to Detroit, and if
all keeps well they will return home in October.

Wlio Knows 'l liis Horse

April 22, 1890.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I should be obliged if
you could discover the pedigree of a stallion called Ashland
that stood at San BernardiDo about 14 or 15 years ago. He
belonged to Mr. Conn and was, I believe, bought by him at
Los Angeles, and Buppo.sed to be by Ashland the thorough-
bred. Yodtb, W.

We do not think very highly of the breeding yon mentioD.
The horse can not be registered in either the standard or

Will you kindly let me know the pedigree of Johnny Hay-

Answer— Wallace says, said to be by Poscora Hayward.
That ii all we know ot the pedigree.

Eastern Sales.

On Monday next the annual sale of yearlings from
Runny mede, Coldstream <& Loudoun Stock Farms will
take place at Raceland, near Paris, Kentucky. As the
youngsters are of the very best breeding and by favorite
sires, there should be lively competition for them.

On Wednesday and Thursday of next week Messrs.
Bruce & Kidd of Lexington, Kentucky, will also sell the
entire produce of the Edgewater & Kingston stud year-
lings, comprising thirty- four head, together with a lot
of yearlings, two-year-olds, three-year-olds, broodmares,
stallions and horses in training consigned by various
owners. The advertisement for both of these sales may
be found in another column.

Foals of 1890.

Palo Alto.

It was definitely arranged last week that the Palo Alto
trotters would leave for Terre Haute on their Eastern cam-
paign on or about the third, and consequently a representa-
tive of the Preeder and Sportsman visited Palo Alto during
the middle of the week to Bee the equiue wonders that are t0
add to Palo Alto and California's fame, as '.he favored place
in America for horse raising. On our arrival at the trotting
department, the first familiar face was Dick Havey's. Dick,
who waB one of America's famous jockeys, being the rider of
Norfolk and other flyers in his youthful days, is not a
Btranger at Palo Alto, having educated trotters there a few
years previously, and during MBrvins absence East. Eavey
will take his place, and Bhould fill it well, for his judgment
and capacity as a driver, are far above all doubt, for he ranks
among the best Califomian drivers. Ina few moments Chas.
Marvin appeared; the popular superintendent and equally
popular driver who has done bo mnch towards placing Palo
Alto Stock Farm in the foremost place, was behind Sunol
2:10£, having just jogged her a few miles. The peerless bay
mare has thickened out, let down and improved immensely,
has lost almost all that tucked up appearance that character-
ised her last fall, and so far has had no real work, but is strong

H. Latham:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Can you or the read-
ers of the Breeder and Sportsman tell anything of the
breeding of Lady Zephyr bay mare, star and perhaps one
white foot; ran races at Sacramento and other place.-? St«
was once owned by George Hancock, Oroville, and also by a
Mr. Geiger, of Sau LuiB Obispo.

Answer.— We know the mare but do not think there was
ever any pedigree gvven for her. Cau any of our readers fur-
nish any information about her?

Wiil you please inform me how to lay out a half mile

AnBwer.— The above question conies to us so frequently,
and also the one i nreference to a mile-track that we give the
measurements for both.

FOR A MILE TRACK.

A field of forty-two acres will do. Draw a line through
the oblong centre, 440 yards in length, setting a stake at
each end. Then draw a line on either side of the first line,
exactly parallel with and 140 yards from it, setting stakes at
either end of them. You will then have an oblong square
440 yards long and 280 yards wide. At each end of these
three lines you will now set slakes. Now then, fasten a cord
or wire 140 yards long to the centre stake of your parallelo-
gram, and then describe a half circle, driving stakes as often
as you wish to set a fence post

This half circle commencing
at one side and extending to the other, will measure 440 yard^.
When the circle is made at both ends of your parallelogram,
yon will have two Btraght sidf s that measure 440 yards each,
and two ciroleB of exactly H.h same length, which measured
three feet from the line, wi I be exactly a mile. The turns
Bhould be thrown up an inch to the foot.

HALF-MILE TRACK.

Draw two parallel lines of 600 feet long and 452 feet five
inches apart. Half way between the extrtme ends of the
two parallel hues drive a stake, then loop a wire around the
stake, long enough to reach to either side. Then make a
true curve with the wire, putting down a slake as often as a
fence post is needed. When this operation is finished at
both ends of the 600 foot parallel lines, the track ib laid out.
The inside fence will rest exactly on the line drawn, but the
track must measure a half mile three ffet from the fence.
The turns Bhould be thrown op an inch to the foot,
stretches may be anywhere from 45 to 00 feet wide.

Special Notice-
Any one knowing the whereabouts of the race mare Dew
Drop, purchased from me last fall by J. W. Dowell, will con.
fera favor by writing to me at Genoa, Nev. " L Fray.

Jimmy Dustin is hard at work at the Bay District track,
and already he haa five good ones which he hopes to pilot
to victory on the cirouit this year. It is a reminder of old-
times to hear Jim's cheerful voice calling to his trotters as
they come down the stretch, and I trust it may be many
year before we miss it from the California tracks,

Five horses were saddled up for the Hall, Luhr and Co.
Handicap. They were Mohawk, Mute, Sheridan. Pliny and
Captain Al. Pliny was installed a red hot favorite with Muta
second choice. This proved to be the first bad start of tbe
meeting. Muta was virtually left at the post and waB fully
ten lengths to the bad wben the horses got going. Pliny led
past the stand with Mohawk and Captain Al dancing attend-
ance. At the half Sheridan bad moved up second and Muta
had lessened the gap between her and the leader about bix
lengths. The race waB never afterwards in doubt.Pliny win-
ning without any great effort. Sheridan came in second and
Muta beat Captain Al by very little to spare tor third posi.
tion. Muta must have run the distance as good as 2:09& and
with a good send off would undoubtedly have secured the
place.

The starter experienced considerable difficulty in getting
tbe horses off in tbe selling race. Welcome adopted her usual
tactics. Starter Coombs stayed with his contract patiently
and after working for an hour, got the big field off to a mod-
erately good start. Passing the stand, Oro led by a clear
length, Applause Kildare and Jou Jou racing neck and neck
around the first bend. Welcome improved her position very
materially and was close up with the leaders. At the half,
DouglasB, Albatross and Black Pilot were fully half a dozen
lengths in the rear, «nd evidently out of the race. Turning
into the straight the order was Oro. Jou Jou, and Kildare
with the latter horse coming fast. A slashing struggle took
place down the stretch but Kildare was not to be denied and
won handily by a couple of lengths to spare. Oro got the
place while Applause just beat Welcome who was coming fast
on the outside. Dennison, Hennessy, Hazlett, Narvaez and
Hitchcock were each fined $20 for breaking away in front
during the starting of the race.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

Their appears to he a lack of unanimity among the horse-
men assembled at the Slate capital about the msrita of
Flambeau, Racine and El Rio Rey. The Racine adherents
bad a big inning on Tuesday, aod many were heard to re-
uark that night that tbe Bishop colt was the greatest three
/ear old on the continent. Tbe writer soon after en-

countered aFlamheaucrowd. They were equally enthusiastic
about the Wildidle— Flirt colt. He is the greatest three
year old "that ever looked through a bridle," one of tbe
pirtv remarks 1, .'and it is all boab about bim being horsdu
combat,1' Bit s all bosh! The impression is very general
that he has bolted a tendon and while he is not yet broken
down, that it is only a matter of a little time. At all events,
it is to be hoped that these horsemen have missed the mark,
and that Flamheau will add laurels to the California bred race-
horse. Trainer Walsh gives it as his opinion that Flambeau
is b greater colt than tbe great Racine. He also says that
Flambeau is still a sound horse.

Mr. Rose telegraphed his trainer, Dave Bridges, not to start
Fairy in the Matedero stake on Tuesday, but if he had seen
the Argyle rUly canter home on Saturday he would undoubt-
edly have started her.

Billy McCormick is the trainer selected to go East with
the William string (Undiue Stable) whose shining stars will
be Racine and Homer. They are two of a kind that will be
hard to beat.

Kelly and Samnels expect to start in thecourse of a week for
Denver.

Rioo does not appear to be partial to weight. He ie a Bpeedy
gelding, but judging by his run on Tuesday, the Brooklyn
Handicap distance is a trifle to far for him

Carmen and Raindrop are both to be bred to the Duke of
Norfolk.

Dan Dennison never tires of singing thG praises of the
Prince of Norfolk.

The Palo Alto bred horses are having a big field day in the
stake races.

Matt Storn drives out daily behind tbe stylish looking Bel-
videre. This three year old is by Le Grande out of Sunny
Slope Belle.

At this writing the bookmakers are away behind on the
meeting. The talent is picking out winners at every clatter
of the box.

On Saturday and Tuesday, Joe Narvaez rode in every race
and landed four winners. Joe will in all probability go East
with the Undine Stable.

One over night purse would have 611ed well every day.
As it is, owners of second class horses have had to keep their
animals in the stable.

A feature of the spring meeting has been the excellent
music furnished by the Hussar band.

The proprietor of the Orange Grove Stable announces that
he will shortly leave for Denver, and the West side track at
Chicago. The string will include Adam, Jack Brady, Joe
Woolman, Rosemeade, Earthquake and Bon Ton.

Mr. Smith wil! start East with Al Farrow, Longshot, and
Susie S on the 15th of this month. Billy Hill will go East
to ride these horses.

Steve Strond has been turned out. While being trained at
San Jose he showed a half in 48J and § in 1 :15, but when he
struck Sacramento he wouldn't run worth a cent. Steve is
a great sulker but is very fast if he could be induced to run
in company.

Odette is in very bad condition. She did splendidly in the
early part of the year but can gbt lu ng fever and is now afflicted
with a secondary form of the epizootie.

William Hendrickson will have a string of trotters on the
grand circuit this year. John Williams, who has had fifty
years experience in the sulky, is training for Mr. Hendrick-
son. Fanny D. is reported to be showing up well in her
work. Mr. Hendrickson recently imported from New Jersey
Patchen Medium, a two-year-old Btallion by Mansfield
Medium.

L. M. Morse, of Lndi, is having Homer T. worked at the
Sacramento track. He is a promising trotter, and is by Dex-
ter Prince out of a Santa Clans mare,

Minnie B. ib to be turned out, and will not be started again
this year.

Blue Bonnet baB a handsome suckling filly by Prince of
Norfolk.

The work of Longshot will have a tendency to boom up
the Duke of Norfolk as a sire. Another fine looking colt up
here is the Duke of Milpitas, but he has not been given any
fast work yet.

Billy Appleby says: "If there ever was a horse who could
beat El Rio Rey it was Flambeau."

L. J. Rose arrived here Thursday from Los Angeles. He
informed the Breeder and Sportsman representative that
Mr Merry would arrive from Australia in June with Mb
Australian purchases.

The Rose string was sent East on Friday. They go direct
to Brooklyn.

The victory of Kildare on Thursday was a popular one and
Matt Storn was kept busy Teoeiving the congratulations of
his friendfl.

On Thursday morning a representative of the Breeder
and Sportsman was shown the Prince of Norfolk. He iB a
Bplendidly muscled horse and of tine conformation. Judging
by Minnie B. and Prince's First, tbe only two of his get
trained, Mr. Todhunter's stallion pronriaea to be a little gold
mine in tbe near future. All the Bucklings and yearlings by
Prince of Norfolk look shapely and have plenty of substance.

Edwin F. Smith has been doing an indefatigable work for
tbe success of the meeting but his efforts have not been sec-
onded by the populace of the Capital City.

Joe Narvaez will go East with the William's string. Mon-
aghan will ride for L. J. Rose in the East,

The favorites have been winning right straight along.
How about some outsider for tbe last day?

The officers of the day on Thursday were: Messrs. Green,
Hancock and Cox; timers, Waterhouse, Burns and Wilson;
starter. W. H. Coombs.

The spring meeting will be brought to a close with to-day's
races — the California Derby, tbe Hopeful Handicap, the
Golden Eagle Hotel Handioap and a purse of all ages mile
heats

Wilbur Smith intends to visit Kentucky and he East this
year. At the present time he has no trotter to make tbe
California circuit with.

Cheerful, the Drake, and Prince's First, made their first
appearance on the turf during the week.

The victory of Sheridan on the opening day was a very
popular one with the residents of the capital oity.

In tbe list of suspended persons published last week, the
name of Dan McCarty and A. McFadyen appeared. Mr. Mo
Carty called and stated that he settled the matter at the time,
and a letter from Mr. MoFadyen informs us that at tbe time
of the Sacramento meeting last year, sickness prevented him
from atlending.but a 6hort time afterwards be sent bis ohecque
for tbe amount, and has a receipt for tbe Earae. ^uoh being
the case, it is a shame that these gentleman's names were al-
lowed to be published, and shows gross negligence on the
part of looal Secretaries.

ATHLETICS.

EDITED PY AEPHIPPOS,

SUMMARY.

The Lean-Kolb wrestling match was the only event of im-
portance that took place during the past week. The Alpina
athletes are in good form for their sports which will come off
to-morrow afternoon. The Olympian amateurs are still hard
at work preparing for the opening of their new grounds oq
May 30th. Tbe wheelmen are practicing hard for the great
two days tournament which will come off at the Garden City
in July. Judging from tbe great interest taken this season
in all kinds of amateur sports several of the Pacific Coast re-
cords should be beaten during the year.

runners, walkers, jumpers, etc.

We are in receipt of a letter from Joseph Barr Buchanan,
the champion all round athlete of the world who is at pres-
ent residing at the Hutel Brevoort, Chicago, Ills. Mr.
Buchanan will probably take a trip to Eu°land before long.
He will endeavor to make a match with &ome of the Eastern
cracks before leaving America.

Everard Dowdle will represent the Acme Athletic Club in
the running high jump on Decoration Day, He is s*id to b«
able to do five feet foar inches, and should take a place.

The order for the "Relay Trophy" donated by the Presi-
dent of the University at Berkeley, has been given, ani the
trophy is being made. The design is that of a heavy shield
with embossed filagree work of silver and oak with the words
"Relay Trophy," at the top. Beneath in succession will be a
U. C. monogram, a picture of the gymnasium and of the cin-
der track and a figure of two sprinters at work.

The cinder pith at Berkeley is at the present time in fair
condition and the athletic students are now able to exercise
on it. Nearly all of last years team are in training and sev-
eral new men will make their debut at the U. C. sports on.
lhe 17th inst. The Olympic athletes will be able to judge on
that day what opposition they may expect to meet with on
May 30th.

Foulkes should break the University record of Sm 17sec.
for the mile walk on May 17th. He was at the Bay District
track on Sunday morning last and received some points from
P. N. Gafney. Foulkes has a good easy style and with prop-
er training he should prove a dangerous man next peason.

Several of the University athletes were at the Bay District
Track last Sunday morning. They seemed to take a great in-
terest in the performances of the A'pine boys, who were
practicing at the time. E. Coke Hdl ran a mile in company
with Phil Moody and a couple of other Alpine athletes

Moffitt of the U. C. team is at the present time in Lower
California. He will probably be back in time to get into form
for the championship games.

The new grounds of the Olympic Club presented an ani-
mated appearance on Sunday morning last. The outdoor
team were out in full force Captain George W. Jordan and
Peter Mclotyre were kept very busy coachingthe boys, many
of whom remained on the track all day. Each athlete, as he
passed out on his way home, was requested to write his name
on a large slate (which had been hung up near the entrance
gate by Cap'ain Jordan) and the length of time which be ex-
ercised. During the day athletes from some of the other
clubs visited the grounds aod declared themselves highly
pleased with tbe cinder path and its surroundings.

John Purcell is getting into trim ior May 30th. He will
compete in tbe broad jump, hammer and shot events, and in
both hurdle races. On Sunday he exercised in the hand ball
court and on the track for several hours encased in a huge
sweater. He appears to be getting back into his old time
form again, and will no doubt make his appearance kDown
to the other athletes on the day o' the ohampion games.

Young Foster of the O A C is improving daily, and he will
be heard from in the high jump and hurdles.

Cooley is running in great form and should make a fine
showing in the three miles to-mcrrow.

The O'Kane brothers and Billy Kenealey were at the Dew
grounds practicing on Sunday.

Coffin and Jarvis are working hard getting into trim for
the walks. It is said that Coffin haB wonderfully improved
since last season and that he will make the mile inside of 7
minutes on Decoration day.

The University regents have made an appropriation of $1,-
500 to complete the apparatus of the gymnasium. A portion
of the money will be spent in converting the gallery into a
running track.

Tbe 440 yard open run al tbe Alpine games to-morrow will
be a hot race between Henderson, Garrison and Little. The
latter should win with Garrison close at his heels.

Jarvis has withdrawn his name from the 3-mile walk as he
sayB he is not in condition at present to raoe three miles.
P. N. Gafney will start from scratch and will try to lower the
Pacific Coast records for 1J miles 1'2 min. 7 sec., held bv Hor-
ace Coffin, O A C; 2 miles lb" min. 57 sec. and 3 miles 25 min.
51£ BecB. held by himself. During the past couple of. weeks
he has walked 3 miles, 2 minutes under the record. Gafney
has given up his old style which was too square to be fast
and he now walks with the hip motion as practiced by Jarvis
and other fast men*

The games of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club will take
place to-morrow at the Bay District Trace, commencing at
1.30 p. M. The admission will be only twenty-five cents,
which will include a seat in the graud stand. The Phoenix
Military bfmd has been engaged and will perform all the af-
ternoon. It will be seen from the list of ninv e below that*
nearly all tbe crack amateurs oi tbe P C A A A will cjmpete-
aod olose and exciting contests must necessarily be the result.
The club events were handicapped by P N. Gafnev, the of-
ficial handicapper of the club, while Georgo W. Jordan the
official handicapper of the P C A A A attended to the open
events. The following is a correot list of the officers of the

Any athlete who breaks a Pacific Coast record will receive
a special ''record" medal. The sprint races will not be run
in heats as the track is wide eDou^n to start the men all to-
gether .

The tickets are out for the opening of theOlympic Grounds
on May 30ih. The price of admission has been tixed at 50
cents. It is expected that the Olympic Club members will
disp3se of at lea^t 5000 tickets which wl 1 insure good prizes
for the coaip;ti ors.

Tha Alpine Clnb has on view in the wiodow of Kast's shoe
store on M-rket St., a large frame of medals won by the mem-
bers at different nth'etic sports in the past. The prizes to ne
awarded the winners to-morrow have been on eshibitton at
Lnudy's j=welery store, cor Market and Third streets for the
past week.

ON THE WHEELS.

The American Bioycle Clnb was organized April Sth. The
membeis had a club run to Sau^aiito last Sunday S. B.
Morse who whs a pro ijiuent member of the Sau Francisco
Bicycle Club is an Hctive member of the new cluh. Some of
the S F B C members have resigned to join the Aruericin Bi-
oycle Club.

Six trophies and a number of medals will be awarded the
different winuers at the coming San Jobo tournament.

President George Butler of the Bay City Wheelmen is out
again on his whtel. He rode to Bdmout on Sunday last in
company with Langton, Toil aod others.

Messrs. Allen, Spaulding and W. E. Thompsan rode to San
Jose on Sundav and back (on train) They intended riding
both ways but when they arrived at the Garden City it was
considered more judicious and le?s tiresome travelling home
by rai1.

On May 17th, there will be a century ron given under the
an*-- pices of the California Division of the L. A. W. The run
will be from Oakland to Hollititer, the distance being abont
102 miles. Obly members of the league will te allowed to
take part in the run, and each rider's expenses from the time
he leaves Odklaud until he returns again, will be paid out of
the tieasory. It is expected that the number of starters will
be very lurge.

The committee appointed to make preparations for the L
A. W. meet at San Jose, Cal., are working hard, and it will
be no fault of theirs if everything does not turn out a'l right.

Plummer, Hammer and Wetmore made a round trip of the
bay on Sunday, covering 9SJ miles. They vihited San Jose
duriog the trip, and report the roads all the way in first-class
condition.

Of late there has been considerable discussion about the
condition of the San Bruuo road. Wheelmen who have been
over it within a week or bo, say that it is in better condition
than it has been in for years. Betwean Milbrae and San
Mateo the road is faultless.

A good many of the local wheelmen rode to San Mateo on
Sunday, and not a few continued on to San Jose.

The San Jose wheelmen expect to be able to have a new
four-lap track ready for the July meet.

AT THE OARS.

Most of the local oarsmen attended the picnic of the Lur-
line Club on Sunday.

John Muirhead, the champion light-weight amateur single
pculler of the Ariel Rowing Club has ordered a new shell of
Ruddick of New York.

The Picnic committee of the Pacific Rowing Association
have abont completed arrangements for the Fall meeting, to
be held at Sbellmnund Park in October.

The picnic given by the Lurline Club on Snnday last was
a grand success. Over 1,000 people paid admission at the
gate. The process will net the club several hundred dollars.
Two new barges are to be built for the use of the members
during the coming season.

E. Kolb, the after waist man in the amateur crew of the
Dolphin Club won his match with Leau the wrestler, at the
Olympic Club on Tuesday evening. This year he will orga-
nize a crew that will represent the Olympic Athletic Club.

The Dolphin Swimming and Boating Clnb wdl give their
eleventh annual outing on May 12th. The escursiou will be
to the Big Trees. A good time may be expected, as the com-
mittee in charge of the affair are well known as hard workers.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

A general meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club
was held at the club rooms, 706 Powell Street, on Thursday
eveniig. Officer1* were nomiuated for the ensuing term.
Several new members were elected, and it was decided to
purchase several new pieces of apparatus for the gymnasium
Final arrangements were made for the beld-games, which will
take place to-morrow.

Several amateur runners claim not to be aw -ire of the fact
that the P C A A A forbids its associate club members from
competing in picnic races. It would be a good plau to have
the Secretary of the P C A A A mail to each of the associate
clubs a copy of the rules which govern the athletes as far as
their competing is concerned.

Hereafter the P C A A A will be very strict in acting on the
application of athletes who desire reinstatement, and only
men who can really prove their ignorance of having trans^
gressed the amateur laws will be taken back.

Lean Defeated by Kolb.

About 1500 sportsmen aaocujUica m the gymnasium of the
Olympic Club on Tutsday evening last to witness a wrestling
match between E A. Kolb and A H. LeaD. Kolb is a mem-
ber of the Olympic Club while Lean is unattached. The
President of the Club read a lung list of rules defining the
definition of an amateur and then the articles of agreement
drawn up between Lean and Kolb.

At 8:35 the men stepped on to the mat. Lean's weight was
announced as being 159 pounds, while his opponent scaled
but 14% pounds. Eugene Van Court seconded Kolb, while
Gus Ungerman stoud behind Lean. F F Scanlan of the Ac-
me Athleiic Club was chosen as referee, and Walter A. Scott
and C. Coleman timekeepers respectively for Kolb and Lean,
Lean looked big and strong enough to ciush the life out of
his rival, but before many miuutes had elapsed the smaller
man had proven that te was no tlouub. For some minutes
after the wrestling began neither athlete gained any advan-
tage over the other. Kolb accidentally rubbed his nose np
against Lean's Bhonlder, and it began lo bleed. At the end
of sixteen minutes Kolb secuied a good hold on Lean's body
and stood him on his head. After a short; but desperate
struggle the Olympian forced Lean's shoulders on to the mat
and so won the tout. The applause which iollowed was
deafening. Van Court acted a little bit huBty in rushing over
lo his man before the referee's decision could be heard. The
mat was now rolled up, and a couple of boxing exhibitions
were given. The four young men who performed did re-
markably well, the last setto between Green and Smythe
being particularly interesting.

After a rest of abont half an honr the wrestlers reappeared .
This time Lean looked a trifle nervous, while his opponent
looked conhdtnt. At 9:20 the struggle for the second fall
began. Lean seemed inclined to act more on the defensive
than he did in the tirst bout, and allowed Kolb to do the
heavy work. Quick as a Hash the florist made a clutch at
the Olympian's leg, but that gentleman was prepared and he
quickly turned the tables on his heavier rival. How it was
done uobody seemed to know, but in exactly two and a half
minutes Lean wbb Hat on the carpet and he had lost the
niatoh. It would be impossible to describe the scene that
followed. Kolb was lifted on to the shoulders of a crowd of
his friends and borne in this style to the dressing room,
while Lean remained sitting in his corner staring wildly
around him, trying to realize that he had lost the match.

The style of wrestling was catch-as catch can. As Kolb
was under the required weight, he won the $200 trophy and.
the amateur championship of the Pacific Coast. Had Lean
won the match he would not have received a cent for his
trouble as he was ten pounds over weight, the limit being
158 pounds. It was reported after the match that Lean had,
thrown the match, but persons who are up in wrestling tac-
tics seem to think differently. At all events Lean made a
poor snowing, and it is almost certain that Kolb is his match
in strength as well as in science.

Lean's friends lost considerable money on their champion,
and it was said that L an late in the afternoon had represen*
tatives in the pool rooms who bought up all the tickets they
could got on Kolb. If this report be true, Lean must have
either made up bis mind to throw the match or else he lost
pOofideuce in himself at the last mon.ent.

W. H. Day again came to the froht by winning the team
cross country championship at New York on Saturday last.
In a cold and beatirjg rain he ran eight miles over the rough-
est ground imaginable lowering hn own record by almost
six minutes and wiring the distance iu -47 minnteu 41 sec-
onds.

This will no doubt be the last opportunity to obtain at public auction the blood of this

( Bonnets o' Blue,

by Sir Charles

Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long list of winners. His si^e Newminster, won
the St .[Ledger 1851, and bis dam, Jovial by Bay Mid
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. Newmnister by
TouchBtone, winner St. Ledger 18U. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 64 races out of (14 starts, by Dr Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cup. J 8 J7 — 40 -41— 42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that teat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheer* is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever ber.t Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Litlle Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandara, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
Bter line in America.

LOCATION.

THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This placn has
been selected lor the reason that first cJass pastur-
age has been secured there tor the exclusive use of

are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

J. H. WHITE'S TROTTERS.

What the President of the P. C, T. H. B. A. is
Doing.

A Fine lot of Horse* la Training.

California is now looked upon as the principal horse breed"
log State in the Union, and where we have so many choice
spots, all of which have iheir particular advantages for the
breeding of race horses, it is a hard matter to decide what
particular locality is the best for this industry which has now
obtained snch great proportions on the Pacific Coast. There
is hardly a county in the State but what possesses some in-
dividual advantage, but , taken all in all, it will prove a pretty
hard matter to show that there is any one county that is
superior to Sonoma for this particular branch of business.
LeBs than a jear ago Leslie E. Macleod, the assistant editor
of Wallace's Monthly in a conversation witb the writer stated
that from what he had seen of Sonoma County, he was satis-
fied that it was one of the best places in the United States to
raise trotters. A statement such as the above from such
authority should have heavy weight with those who are seek-
ing to locate breeding farms, especially in view of the fact
that there is not a state in the Union but what has been
traversed by Mr. Macleod while seeking information for the
articles which he presents to the horse reading public month
after month in the "Wallace publication.

Among the many prominent breeders located in that chosen
spot is J. H. "White, the present President of the Pacific
Coast Trotting HorBe Breeders' Aasociation, a gentleman well
verted in everything appertaining to the horse, having been
for many years more or less closely interested in turf matters.
Mr. White's farm is a Binall domain in itself, located about
Bis miles south and east of Petaluma, and contains in the
neighborhood of 1600 acres. The land is divided into 600
acres of flat land and about 1000 in hilly or rolling land,
almost every portion of which is studded with clover and
wild oats, a combination that by many is supposed to surpass
even the much talked about alfalfa. It is notour object at
the present time to discnes the relative merilB of the native
grasses of California, but there is so much that can be said in
favor of clover and wild oats, especially when the horses
raised on this succulent food are examined that the spectator
is liable to cast a vote in favor of the Sonoma grasses as
against the popular alfalfa or alfilleria.

Last Saturday morning was selected for the trip and a
more pleasant day it could not have been. While the early
morning ocean airs tempted one to wear a spring overcoat,
the thoughts of the great valley that we were about to visit
made it prudent to take a linen duster instead of a coat of
heavier material. As we rolled along through the country
compassed by the San Francisco and Northern Pacib'c Kail-
road, the beauties seen by the eye surpassed description.
From every point there was one continuous carpet of green
relieved by the wild flowers and the orchards carrying their
loads of blossoms. Verily Sonoma Counfy never looked
prettier than it did while we were rushing on toward the
quaint old town of Petaluma, where we were met by a car-
riage and pair to convey us to onr destination. The
effects of the very bad winter are still to be seen on much
of the low land which skirts Petaluma Creek, and tho roads
are hardly what they might be, still taking everythiog into
consideration, they are not as bad as the many unfavorable
reports would have led us to believe.

The proprietor met us with a hearty shake of the hand
and welcomed us to his pleasant home. As time was short
every advantage had to be taken of each moment, and it was
not long before we were on Mr. White's race track, which, by
the way, is au exceedingly fast one, and kept in perfect con-
dition. The master reiusman of the place is Steve Crandall,
who has for many years been known to all turf frequenters

in this State, As we appeared he was sending a beautiful
mare through her paces, a mare called Mountain Quail by
Hernani, dam Annie bv General McClellan; 2nd dam by imp
The Lawyer. Steve was joined on the track by one of his
assistants who -was driving Princess, a beautifal mare by
Hernani, dam Susie by Sam McClellan (a sou of General
McClellan 144), 2nd dam Brownie, the old California mare
that was sent East many years ago to contest against the
Eastern trotters. It would be hardly fair to tell the times of
each mile made by the various horses that we saw, and wi'l
simply say that Mountain Quail has a very bright future be-
fore her, and it will be some very great accident that will
prevent Hernani from having quite a list of 2:30 performers
during the present year. As each "work out" was effected
new candidates for trotting honors were brought forward,
and the scene was a pretty one, for while the usual grand
stands and official positions were not to be seen, the clatter
of hoofs over the speed track lent a charm to the scene that
was singularly striking.

Mr. White has in training altogether about thirty trotters,
many of which will no doubt score np for the word during
the coming season. Taking the whole lot, it would be a
very difficult matter to find on any breeding farm in Cali-
fornia, a superior looking stable of horses. Mr. White's two
stallions, Hernani (a son of .Electioneer) and Marco (a son of
Elector, 2:21^, have stamped great individuality on each of
their get. It is very rarely tbat such intelligent heads, finely
arched necks, superb bodily conformation and legs which
can only ba called perfection, are to be found, where such a
large number of horses are congregated together.

In addition to the two which have already been mentioned-
there are a few others that deserve personal notice. One,
which iB particularly striking to the eye, being Joe by Marco,
dam Kate byMilliman's Bellfounder 62. He is a horse of
splendid appearance, fine smooth action, and it was intended
that be shonld be sent a very fast mile on the day we were
present, but owing to a trifling injury to the foot, it was
deemed expedient to give him only slow work, and still it did
not require the knowledge of a professional to see that Joe is
liable to make a low record for himself this year.

Mabel is a handsome chestnut filly two years old by Her-
nani, dam Mesquite by "Washington (a sen of California
Smuggler); 2nd dam Fanny (sister to St. Helena); 3rd dam
Buttermilk Sal. Mabel is a pacer and shows so much speed
at that gait that by many she iB looked upon as beiDg anoth-
er CaliforLia phenomenon.

Mabel has a full BiBter, Julia, who gives every evidence of
possessing speed and will beyond doubt do honor to both
herself and sire.

Ida Franklin is a full sister to Mountain Quail and if looks
go for anything, should be able to make the Qaail fly very
rapidly to beat her.

Alice is still another sister to Ida Franklin and Mountain
Quail and was trained last year at Petaluma, Bhe showing,
while there, a quarter in 321 Beconds and many in 33} or
better.

A very tine two-year-old colt was seen in Jim Mac by Her-
nani, dam Mollie Mac, he is of the sturdy improving order
and should be heard from in the two year old stakes this
year.

Last season Mr. White waB fortunate enough to secure a
record of 2:22$ for the handsome brood mare, Kitty Almont
and she has as one of her representatives at the farm, a fine-
ly put op three-year old called Dot, this handsome lilly is by
Hernani and is a typicul California trotter. She is a beau-
tifully formed animal, heavily muscled and can show a gait
this early in the season that warrants the belief that she will
be entitled to a place in the 2-20 HbI before long.

Maroo as stated before is a son of Electioneer 2:21J and
shows the same aptness for the trot as did his well known
sire. Marco's dam is by General McClellan 144; his 2nd dam

being a sister to St. Helena 2:271. Owing to stud service he
has not been given as much work as some of the others but
is an illustration of the often refuted assertion that the Elec-
tioneers do not breed on for if Marco does not prove remark-
ably fast this season, then looks go for nothing.

Another of the premising ones is Henrietta, a four year old
by Hernani, dam H. D. by General McClellan; 2nd dam Lady
Burgess. This mare gives every indication of being a fast
trotter, and backed up as she is in the 2nd dam by the well
known Belmont blood should prove a trotter of speed and
endurance.

Straitedge is a chestnut colt, three years old, by Marco
dam Fanny by General McClellan 144; his gait is of the best,
with that easy, frietionless way of going tbat always produces
high flights of speed. He is a credit to his young sire, and
should be one well inside of 2:30 before 1891 is rung in.

A bay gelding, two years old, by Hernani, dam Miss Kohl
by Irvington; 2d dam by Speculation, is bred well enough to
warrant the belief that he can hold his own against any who
are likely to compete with him this year. He is a handsome
fellow with extremely fine carriage, nice gaited, and will cot
require much work to show what he can do.

Mr. White has always beenopposed to the early educationof
trotters, but finding that the other breeders of the State were
educating their yearlings, he has taken up several of the
youngsters to see what they could do, and one that particu-
larly impressed the writer was a bay colt by Hernani, dam
the Kalston mare; this well known mare was used for some-
time by the late Wm. Kalston, Esq., for whom Bhe was pur-
chased in Kentucky by one of his agents. While it has not
been clearly proven, there is but little reason to doubt that
■he is a daughter of Alexander's Abdallah, and as we saw her
in the paddock, although now twenty-six years old, she
allows the traces of grand breeding, and is a superb individual
in every way, and to those who have studied the breeding of
the Hambletonian family there can be no doubt but that she is
richly imbued with that blood; notwithstanding the extreme
youth of this colt, he has already shown a number of quar-
ters, beating fifty seconds at every time of asking.

As lime was limited, we could not pay the attention to the
broodmares that we should like to have done, but a casual
glance warrants us in the belief that Mr. White can show as
fine a lot of suckling foals, when numbers are considered, as
any breeder in the State. They are by Hernani and Marco,
and as Mr. White had bo many Hernani's on the place, he
■ent that exceedingly fine stallion to Kentucky this season
where he is now standing as a representative of the Elec-
tioneer family.

For breeding service this year, Mr. White has secured in
addition to his own stallions the handsome bay colt Winwood
by Antevolo, dam by Nutwood 600. Winwood is the property
of Mr. Requa, of Oakland, and is a typical Antevolo, of
splendid carriage and exquisite figure; he would draw aiteu"
lion from his fine appearance from the most fastidious.

From the extremely well bred mares of which Mr. White
has many, we can readily believe that Winwood will get a
splendid lot of foals.

As time drew near for us to catch the train, the carriage was
once more brought into requisition and we were soon rolling
back to Petaluma. A glance was made at the racetrack, which
we found iu excellent condition, but time would not permit a
close examination of the horses, of which there are many
now stabled there. General Fine has evidently hit the public
taste, and he is the right man in the right place as Superin-
tendent of the track.

We feel assured that we are not transgressing in telling
our readers that they will be always welcomed al Mr. White's
farm, and the popular owner will ever esteem it a pleasure to
Bhow his fellow horsemen of the State what he has at his
well arranged stables. A grand entertainer with fun I

the most popular horsemen in California, as is evident in the
fact that his fellow breeders have made him President of
their Association, and the office could not be in better
hands. For many years Mr. White has been, like many oth-
ers in California, endeavoring to raise 2:30 performers, but
luck combined with accident has usually presented so many
obstacles that his success has not been as gieat as many of
the other breeders: however, from present indications there
is every reason to believe that Daaie Fortune will smile on
him this year, as he has many promising youngsters who are
likely to go into the charmed circle.

John Nelson Again.

From Wallace's Monthly.
Mr. Alfred A. Snyder, of Caldwell, has supplied additional
information with regird to the Btallion John Nelson. Mr.
Synder elucidates some hitherto doubtfal points in the his-
tory of this horse. As part owner of the stallion at one time
earlv in his career, Mr. Synder speaks with authority, and no
one'is more competent to speak concerning the tacts in his
possession.

Mr. Synder says that the horse John Nelson was owned by
himself and his father, Mr. Halsey Snyder, in 1855. They
came inlo possession of him in the following manner: Mr.
Alfred A. Snyder traded a bay mare called Bowery Girl to
u Mr. Queoh-t (or Goelet) for a half interest in the horse. He
was theu four years old, having been foaled in 1S51. He was
at that time in the hands of John Nelson, on Long Island for
training. Subsequently he came to Newark, and at the earn.
est solicitation of Mr. Snyder hiB father purchased Mr. Qaoe-
let's interest, paying therefore §400. Mr. Snyder says that
Mr. Qaeolet either bred the horse himself or purchased him
wheu very young from Mr. Thomas Evans, of New Bruns-
wick. That the horse was bred in New Brunswick by either
one of these two men there is no question. John Nelson,
Mr. Snyder says, at the time he owned him, was matchless
for beauty of conformation. There were very few horses,
he says, that could compare with him in style and general
finish. There was no appearance of the stallion about him,
and any one seeing him traveling along the road would take
him for a gelding. Some time during 1855 Mr. Snyder dis-
posed of his interest in the horse to his father. The latter
kept him until the spring of 1858, and then sold him to Hor-
ace F. J^>nes, who kept a stable on Mercer street, near Prince,
in Now York. "While Mr. Halsey Snyder owned him he
showed a mile in 2:36. Mr. Jones returned the horse to the
hands of John Nelson for further training, and during 1S59
sold him to pmies to go to California. Mr. Jones paid Mr.
Soyder $1,800 for the horBe and received nearly $6,000 from
the California people.

Mr. Alfred Snyder Btates positively that the dam of John
Nelson was by one of the Vermont Morgans, and his sire
imp Trustee " He says that he told Mr. Bruce several times
that the dam of John Nelson was not by Abdallah.

In the year 1855 Mr. Halaey Snyder bought a bay mare
from Mr.Queolot, which was in foal to John Nelson. This
mare foaled a filly, which was the first of John Nelson's pro-
duce. This filly, afterward known as Alice, was bred to
John J. Crittenden (by Volunteer), owned by a Mr. Carpen-
ter, living at Woodbridge, and the result was a colt which
weot by the name of Good Templar. This grandson of John
Nelson could trot in 2:40, and was a magnificent roadster.
He is now, or wa^ when last heard from, on a stock farm in
Coloraio. Alfred A. Snyder is firm in his declaration that
Jobn Nelson's dam was a Morgan. He Bays there never was
any question about that. Not only did Mr. Queolet eay so,
r-ut he himself knew the name of her sire when he owned
Nel-ion, although in the long lapse of years the name has es-
caped bis memory.

Mr Snyder's story corroborates that of Mr. John W. New-
ell of New Brunswick, in every essential particular. Mr.
Newell says that Mr. Evans of New Brunswick raised John
Nelson and sold him to Mr. Qaeolet (Mr. Newell spells that
name Geolet. but Mr. Snyder says the name is spelled Queo-
ltt on the books), and the latter disposed of him to Mr. Hal-
sey Snyder. As Mr. Halsey Snyder did own the horEe, Mr.
Newell might easily be mistaken in attributing the sale in
the first instance to him, and not to Mr. Alfred A. Snyder, ,
who was really the first purchaser. Mr. Newell also says
that the dam of John Nelson came from Vermont. The his-
tory of John Nelson in brief is as follows: John Nelson, ch
b, foaled in 1851, by imp Trustee; dam a Morgan mare. Bred
by Thomas Evans of New Brunswick, N. J.; passed through
the hands of Messrs.' Alfred and Halsey Snyder of Newark,
N. J., to Horace F. Jones of New Y»ork. and subsequently
went to Cilifomia, where he died in 1871. — Newark (N.J.)
Sunday Call.

[Note. — The above agrees substantially with what we have
hitherto had abont John Nelson, hot it does not add much
light as to what horse was his sire. Though the presunip
tion is that he was bred by Mr. Thomas Evans of New
Brunswiok, that fact is Dot established beyond doubt. If
th-re be uncertainty as to the breeder, there must certainly
be uncertainty as to the sire. The only evidence which will
put the matter beyond doubt are the books of imp Trustee,

The American Trotting Association.

Two weeks ago we published a list of the persons at present
under suspension or that have been expelled by the National*
and made a tew remarks in reference thereto, which has
called out the following letter from the Secretary of the
American Association:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Permit me to call your
attention to a little error in tbe heading of "Suspensions and
expulsions" published in your issue of April 2tith, page 26.
Suspensions by the National Trotting Association are not
recognized by the American, or vice versa; but all persons
and horses ruled off by tbe American Baciog Association, or
upelled by the National Trotting Association for frau<i, are
likewise disqualified from competing on tracks of memberB
of the American Trotting Association. But persons and
horses exp lied by the American Trotting Association for
fraud are welcomed by tbe National Trotting Association.
The disqualification on American tracks of persons and horses
expelled for fraud by the National TrottiDg Association was
done in order to promote the breading and trottiDg interests
of the couotry; as it was deemed by our Congress that a per
non or horse expelled for fraudulent transactions 1-y any repu-
table organization was not fit to compete on American tracks.
Yonrs truly,

J. H. Steiner, Secretary.

Parties having mares that are barren or irregular breeders
would do well to consult Dr. G. W, Stimpson, V, 8. Office

Guenoc Stock Farm Purchases.

Judge J. McM. Shafter has sold to the Guenoc Stock
Farm, tive thoroughbred mares and four foals as follows:

Wab-ta-wah, foaled 1876, by War Dance, dam Date Tree by
Mickey Free. Wah-ta-Wah has a bay colt by imp Greenbaok
for which the name of '"Guenoc" has been claimed.

Proeperine, b m, loaled 1876, by Daniel Boone, dam Anna
H. by Lee Paul. This mare has a chestnut filly by imp
Greenback, the name of Prostitute being claimed for her.

Una, foaled 1876, by Daniel Boone, dam by Beacon. Una
has a brown tilly by imp Greenback, for which the name of
Leonie is claimed.

Miss Hooker, ch m, foaled 1883, by Joe Hooker, dam Napa
Queen by Norfolk. Miss Hooker has a bay filly at her side
by St. Savior, and this little lady has been named Itawamba.

Alice T by Haddington, dam Una by Daniel Boone is bar*
ren this season.

The price given is not stated.

Mr. Frederick Gebherd and friends started overland on
Thursday evening, after a stay of almost a month at the
Gaenoc Farm. Tbe gentlemen were all pleased with their
trip, and Mr. Gebbard is well satisfied with his Lake County
investment. He will keep adding from time to time to the
brood mare division at Guenoc, hoping in the near future
to have a list of matrons that will compare favorably with
any establishment of like kind in the Eastern States.

Some weeks ago Mr. Fair's Superintendent, Humphrey
Sullivan, started for Wyoming Terrrtory to purchase any
well bred mares or fillies that might suit his eye, and at Uinta
Stock Jb'aim, the property of A. C. Beckwith, he secured sev-
eral which are a credit alike to his judgment and good taste.
Among those which be has brought back to California with
him is Fanny McGregor, a chestnut rill j, foaled 1887, by
Eobert McGreger 647, dam Fanny Patchen by Mambrino
Patchen 58; 2nd dam by Mambrino Whalebone; 3rd dam by
Tom Crowder: 4th dam by Old Copper Bottom. Fanny Mc-
Gregor comes from two very fine families, and from her
breeding should surely trot and stay for any distance. Her
sire is one of the greatest trotting horses that this country
has ever seen, while her dam represents tbe great broodmare
family of the present day. Robert McGregor is the sire of
eight in the 2:30 list, including the well known Bonnie Mc-
Gregor, whose record of 2:131 has stamped him as one of the
fastest horses of the present decade. Going into the Mam-
brino Patchen family, we rind this notable sire with fourteen
in the list, while twenty-eight of his bous have got fifty-four
trotters and three pacers, while thirty-two of his daughteie
have produced thirty-five trotters and three pacers.

Hattie H. is a bay filly, foaled 1388, by Wyoming Chief
3S97, dam Flora WilkeB by Geo. Wilkes 519; 2d dam by
Seeley's American 8tar 14. As Wyoming Chief combines the
blood of Strathmore, Woodford Mambrioo, Miss Bussell and
Pilot Jr., this mare should make a very valuable addition to
the farm, either for trotting purposes or as an inmate of the
harem .

Lizzie H. is a bay filly, foaled 1889, by Wyoming Chief
3397, dam Hilda Rose by Dictator 113; 2d dam Fanny Pat-
chen by Mambrino Patchen 58, etc. This filly is fine,
shapely, and trots well, which she Bhould surely do when we
consider the combination of great blood lines which flow
through her veins.

Annie Kirkwood is a chestnut filly, foaled 1889, by Satin-
wood 5u64, dan Annie Kirksey 408; 2d dam Miss Kirksey by
Mambrino Le Grand; 3d dam Nellie by White Mountain; 4th
dam Nellie Bly by Rhode's Highlander; 5th dam by Young
Sidi Hamet. Here we again find the Hambletonian, Abdal-
lah and Mambrino blood to back up an exquisite filly which
is the equal of any vearling ever seen in the country.

Zetlie is a bay filly, foaled 1889, by Wyoming Chief 3897,
dam Flora Wilkes by Geo. Wilkes 519; 2d dam by Seeley's
American Star 14, etc. This is a beantifnl little miss, of
quality and substance, compact and powerful, very stylish
and nicely finished; she is well gtited, and shows nothing
but trot. Her dam is one of the finest specimens of tbe
Wilkes family to be found anywhere, and her first foal was
sold as a two-year-old for $3,000.

Princes3 Wilkes is a black filly, foaled 1889. by Ned Wilkes
4775, dam PrincesB Clay by American Clay 34- 2nd dam .Car-
rie Prince by Black-Prince; 3rd dam Gip by Abdallah and
thence on through the thoroughbied lines to imp. Diomed;
here is another of the grand combinations which should at
once produce good game trotters. American Clay with very
limited opportunities got three in the 2:30 list, and two of
his sous have got six, while seventeen of his daughter* have
produced e ghteen trotters and two pacers. Carrie Prince,
the graodam of Princess Wilkes is bred very much like Darnel
Lambert, her sire being a son of Hill's Black Hawk, and her
dam a daughter of Old Abdallah. The sire of this beautiful
little filly is by Baron Wilkes 4758 dam Steinette by Steinway
1808; 2nd dam Ned, the dam of Clemmie G. 2:15J, Post Boy
2:23, Alice S'oner 2:24*, Mystery 2:25 j and Forest Wilkas
2:24|. With such blood lines emanating from both sire and
dam, Princess Wilkes should prove a perfect gem.

We are pleased to see that Mr. Fair has purchased such
extremely well-bred mares and fillies, and sincerely trust that
the money invested may be well spent.

Inyo Notes.

A few days ago, it was a privilege on my passage up the
valley, to call on W. S. Enos, and while there passed a very
agreeable hour among the horses owned by him and Mr. Mo-
Sweeny.

The horse that particularly attracted my attention and
admiration was the young horse Falliston, son of Fallis.
From his sire he draws some of the bluest of blue trotting
blood, that of the justly famous Electioneer; and on the side
of his dam he is a great grandson of tbe thoroughbred Bel-
mont (Williamson's) sire of Venture 2:27J, and of the dams
of some speedy ones; also through his dam he is a grandson
of General McClellan, she being sired by Duke McClellan,
son of the General.

Falliston is three years old, having been foaled in April,
1887, in Owens Valley, Ioyo Co. He is a deep bay with blank
points, clean limbed and beautiful. He has an intelligent
head, kind eye and small well set ears. To my eyes, by no
means those of a professional, he is the model of a perfect
horse being outlined in every part by Hogarth'Bline of beauty.
In motion he is as near perfection as he looks; he carries
himself proudly erect, as if in disdain of his richly endowed
companions on the farm, and as he walks, bis feet touch the
bosom of mother earth as if pavements of gold were none too
good for bis aristocratic hoofs...

His trotting action is good, but as he has never been trained,
the limit of his speed can only be conjectured; however,
his ancestors and his own apparent qualifications give prom-
ise that when be knocks for admittance at the enchanted
portal it will not be denied. Until then he will have to be
called a non-standard.

His etable companion is Albenton, son of General Benton
and Abbie, by Almont. He is a noble specimeu of the equine
race, but in many respects not the peer of Falliston.

Being a great lover of a fine horse, I may seem to give a
somewhat highly colored picture of this beantifnl animal;
but other admirers of the same regal race would pardon me
if they could have but stood at my side as I feasted my eyee
on his symmetrical proportions and graceful movements

We boast of some fine horses here — Thoroughhred, trot-
ting and draft of different breeds, and Inyo with her high
altitude, dry climate and good pastures, may, in the near
future, begin to make a noise in the world. More an >n.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPHIPPUS, '

SUMMARY.

An excellent showing was made by tbe members of the Al-
pine Athletic Clab on Sunday last, on the occasion of their
second out-door meeting, which was held at the Bay District
track. Several records were broken and the members of the
new organization proved in a substantial manner that their
club will be well represented at the championship meeting on
Decoration Day.

Tbe outdoor athletes were obliged to stop practice for a
couple of days at tbe beginning of the week owing to the wet
weather. The rest, however, will do them more good than
harm as many of them have been training hard for several
weeks past.

The opening of the Olympic Clubs new grounds will be
the next event of imporiance and great preparations are being
made for the occasion.

The wheelmen are enthusiastic over the coming century
run which promises to bring out an unusually large field of
riders.

BUNNERS, "WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Itis Baid that Purcell, of the O. C. team, recently in a
private trial broke the Pacifio Coast record for pole vaulting.

Judging from tbe records made by some of the athletes at
the sports of the Alpine Club on Sunday last, a good many
of the old time Pacific Coast records will be left in the lurch
od May 30th.

The members of the Lurline Club will hold a cross country
run from Sausalito on May 18th.

The same club will hold a "Ladies' Night" exhibition in
about two weeks, when a seleot programme of athletic sports
will be given.

Ihe students at Berkeley will hold a Field-day on Saturday
next. The following is a list of the events to be decided:

1. 100 yardB run, maiden, closed.

2. 100 yards run, scratch, open.

3. 220 yards run, handicap, closed.

4. 220 yards run, scratch, open.

5. 440 yards run, scratch, open.

6. 880 yards run, scratch, open.

7. 880 yards run, scratch, closed,

8. 1-mile run, handicap, closed.

9. Kunoiug broad jump, handicap, op n.

10. Running high jump, handicap, open.

11. Throwing 16-pound hammer, handicap, open.

12. Pole vault, haniic^p, closed.

13. 1-mile walk, h-mdicap, closed.

14. 120-yard hurdle, handicap, open.

15. High kick, handicap, closed.

16. Consolation race, 440 yards open.

17. Kelty race, I mile, 5 men, closed.

18. Tug of-war, team'? of 4 men, closed.

These games Bhould be well attended, as all the athletes are
now in the pink of condition. The Olympic and Alpine
Clubs of this city will send over some of their best men to
oompete in the open events, which are indeed very numer-
ous. The U. C. men have not been sleeping of late, and will
make a good showing against the outBide men. Competitors
and visitors should take the 12 o'clock boat from this side,
as the games will begin promptly at 1 o'clock.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club will hold a boxing tour-
nament for members of the club during the month of June.
Valuable prizes will be awarded the winners.

Walter Scott of the O C. appears to be getting back into
his old form again. He should make a good tight in the five-
mile run on May 30th..

Both the Olympic and Alpine tug-of-war teams are practic-
ing hard for the championship struggle.

OH THE WHEEL.

It is expected that the members of the Bay City Wheel-
men will carry off the majority of the prizes at the coming
two-day tournament to be held at San Jose Cal. Hammer,
Plummer and Wetmore should certainly win some of the
medals.

A number of the local riders were seen riding in the direct-
ion of San Jose on Sunday. The roads are now in first class
condition. Four or five years ago it was considered quite a
performance for a man to ride fifty miles in one day, but at
the present time there are dozens of local riders who think
nothing of riding all round the bay, a distance of over one
hundred miles, on Sunday.

The membership of the California Division League of
American wheelmen has largely increased during the past
month. There our several candidates now waiting to be
elected.

Runs are being held regulalry every week by the different
clubs which keeps the riders in good condition.

AT THE OARS.

The fine weather on Sunday was appreciated by a good
number of the North and South end oarsmen who took prac-
tise spins on the bay.

The April Club sent out several crews, while the oracks of
the Pioneer Club also rowed to the Sugar Refinery and around
the city front.

The Lurline Club members were busy on Sunday, and not
a Bingle boat remained out of the water. This young club is
fast gaining in membership as well as in fame.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

There was no meeting of the P C A A A on Friday even-
ing, May 2nd, as only two delegates were present. It is evi-
dent that too many meetings of the Association are held. At
present a meetiDg is held every Friday evening, whereas two
meetings a month would be sufficient to transact all tbe nec-
essary business. Some of the delegates ccmplaio of the
length of tbe meetings, which generally drag until aboutrmd-
night. They say they would willingly attend the meetings
if they were held semi-monthly instead of weekly.
The Directors of the California Athletic Club have at last
' decided to do away with their amateur annex. They made a
great mistake when they first started the annex. The men
who first euggested the idea were not urged on by their love
of pure athletics; it was jealousy and a craving for greatness
that prompted them to organize an amateur branch. They
thought that by inducing the young members of the Golden
! Gate Club to come over to them they would cripple that club,
but in this idea they were mistaken. On the other hand, they
expected to place their club on a level with the Olympic by
having under their jurisdiction a body of young amateur ath-
leteB. It is true that some of the beBt amateurs on the Pa-

cific Coast were connected with the California Athletic Club's
annex, but tbe unmanly and ungentlemanly manner in
which some of these athletes were treated by the Directors
of the club at large is a sufficient proof that the amateur
branch was started merely as a bluff at some of the older and
more respectable athletic clubs. When the P C A A A re-
fused to recognize the California amateur annex the Directors
of the club became demoralized as it were, and finding that
their amateurs were of no use to them they started in to get
rid of them as quickly and easily as possible.

The second handicap meetiDg of the California Footracing
Asssociation was held at Central Park on Sunday afternoon.
Owing to the counter attractions the attendance was only
moderate. The sprinting was good, however, and in the
majority of the heats fast time waB made It was understood
thac H. M. Johnson tne champion all round athlete was to
attempt to lower his own record for the 100 yards run, but
as Mr. Johnson was ill the trial was not made. The next
meeting of the Association will be held at the same place on
Sunday, -June 8. All the leading professional sprinters in
America will take part in the runs.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

The annual spring games of the Manhattan Athletic Club
will be held at New York City this afternoon.

The individual general athletic championsbio competition
under the auspices of the American Athletic Union will be
held at New York City on June 10.

R. C. Chadsy, who rejoices in the title of the champion
runner of the National Guard, and claims the best profess-
ional indoor record for three miles, has resigned from com-
pany E, Ninth Regiment, N G S NY, and removed to Stam-
ford, Ct., having accepted a position with the Yale & Towne
Lock Company. He intends to join Company C, Fourth Reg-
iment, N G C, and will represent said company in future
National Guard contests after the Summer is over, as he doeB
not propose to do any running till Fall.

Two fine performances were accomplished at the games of
the South London, Eog , Harriers, held at the K>nnington
Oval, on April 12. The president of the Oxford University
Athletic Club, W. Pollock-Hill, had a virtual walk over in
the 1,320yds. scratch race, he running out against the watch
and making the distance in 3m. 12:3-5a., faster time thanfwas
ever previously accomplished on a grass course. In the four
mile event the winner, J. K.ebble white, covered the distance
in 20m. 20:3-03., which also easily beats all previous records
on turf. He completely outclassed his field, finishing twen-
ty seconds before Fry, the second man.

The Harvard 'Cycling Association have decided to accept
the challenge for a team race of two miles between three
men each of Harvard and Yale Universities, provided that
the chairman of the Racing Board of the League of American
Wheelmen allows the contest to be governed by other rules
than those laid down in track rule 33 of the League

C. G. Psotta will take both a cedar and a paper shell with
him to England, and in the race for the Diamond Sculls at
Henley will represent the Schuylkill Navy and also wear the
colors of his alma mater, Cornell University.

John Teemer, ex-champion sculler of America, has re-
ceived a license as a saloon keeper at McKeesport, Pa , and
it is annonnced that he will now abandon rowing and give
his whole attention to tbe liquid refreshment business. It
is pretty certain, however, that in case Wm. O'Connor re-
turns to the States champion of the world Teemer will have a
try for the honors.

The match between Peter Kemp and Neil Matterson, the
Australian sculler, for $2,500 a side was rowed over the
usual course on the Paramatta River, at Sydney, N. S. W.,
on April 25th, and resulted in the victory of the former, who
led throughout and won by forty lengths. Time, 21m. 13°.
It is now in order for the victor to challenge the winner of
the race for the championship of the wotid (which was not
included in the issue of the recent race) between Wm. O'Con-
nor and James Stansbury.

The Columbia Athletic Club, of Washington, D. C , opened
their new, commodious and eleeanily appointed club house
on the evening of April 25th, and from the crush within the
walls it appeared as though all the youth and beauty of the
capital had turned out to celebrate the event. The rooms
had been beautifully decorated for the occasion, flowers and
tropical plants being here, there and everywhere in the great-
est profusion, and the scene ersembling fairyland. The num-
bers of the club paid the closest attention to their guests,
fair aDd otherwise, and everybody present managed to derive
much real enjoyment from the visit, despile the elbowing
they were unavoidably subjected to. The Columbias may
well feel proud of their new home, and the inducements now
offered should have the effect of adding largely to tbe mem-
bership of the organization.

William Jackson, alias "The American Deer," the veteran
runner once famous in sporting circles the world over, is
siill living in England, and is to take a complimentary bene
fit at the Royal Albert Music Hall, London, on May 13th.

The Becond out-door athletic meeting of the Alpine Ama-
teur Athletic club was held at the Bay District track on Sun-
day last under the most favorable auspicies. The weather
was warm and delightful, and the surrounding hills and
fields looked fresh and green. A more perfect day for field
games could not have been selected, the strong winds that
generally blow up the home shelter of the Bay District were
substituted by gentle zephyrs that soothingly fanned the
faces of the spectators as they sat in the grand stands. The
attendance was fair, being probably about 1,000, and the
track in very good order, especially in front of the club house
where the sprint races were decided.

The Phoenix Military Band played choice selections during
the progress of tbe games, aDd the music certainly encourag-
ed the athleteB, for several records were broken. The Alpine
Club is a new organization, and we do not care to sensure any
of its members, but we think the members at large should
have taken more interest in last Sunday's games. The man-
agement of the meetiog was left to half a dozen of the mem-
bers, most of whom were entered for the games, while the
majority Btood around or sat up in the grand stands watch-

ing the sport. The result was that outsiders had to be called
in as judges, timers and measurers. The Alpine Club has
now a membership of nearly 200, and in future the members
at large should get in and work on an occasion like that of
Sunday last, and show the public that they were both willing
aDd able to manage their own games.

The Marshalls failed to do their duty and allowed men ana
boys to crowd on the track to such an extent that the ladies
and their escorts in the Grand Stands were unable to witness
the finishes of the races. Several prominent club men were
present, including W. Greer Harrison, the ex-President <f
the Olympic Club, who speaks verv highly of the Alpinb
Club.

The first event on the programme was the 100 yards run
(novice) formemberB of the club. Kelly was the favorite, bnt
J. W. Creagh, a comparatively new man, surprised his club
mates by winning the event with perfect ease in 1 1 3-5 sees .
It was said that Creagh had only practiced twice for the race
and if the report be correct he Bhould make his mark at
sprinting.

A handicap race of 120 yards also for members of the club
was next on the programme, and the scratch man John D.
Garrison won after a magnificent struggle from E. P. Moody,
who had five yards Btart. Previous to tbe race many claimed
that Garrison was too heavily handicapped, but the bandi-
capper had his time down fine and felt confident that he had
a good show to win. Another new man turned up -in the
shot putting event in the person of P. J. Sbeedy, who in his
first put covered a distance of 32ft 9£in. Even with big han-
dicaps none of the other contestants could come up to Sbee-
dy, who felt very proud of his victory. With proper practice
Sheedy should make a fine showing in the championship
games.

The most exciting raea of the day was next deoided. It
was a 440-yard haDdicap run, open. Many thought that
Henderson of the Olympio Club, who was placed at scratch,
would have had an easy victory, but Garrison of the Alpines
was in too fine a condition to be beaten. He bad eight yards
start off Henderson and won rather easily in 53 1 5 secondB.
The speed and staying powers displayed by the Alpine man
in the race caused a good many of the sports present to
change their minds as to the respective merits of Henderson
and Garrison. Many claimed that Garrison could defeat
Henderson from scratch.

A three-mile handicap walk, open, brought out but two
starters, P. N. Gafney and A. Cooke, both of the Alpine Club.
Gafney was in good condition, having trained faithfully for
six weeks before. He broke all tbe Pacific Coast recordB.
Tbe old records are as follows: One-half mile, 3:31 (Horace
Coffin, O. A. C), one mile, 7:101 (C. B. Hill, M. C. C ), one
and one-half miles, 12:07 (Horace Coffin, O. A. C), two miles,
16:57, and three miles, 25:51i (P. N. Gafney, A. A. A. C.)
Gafney'a time was as follows: One half mile, 3:26$; 0De mile,
7:07; one and one-half miles, 11:03; two miles, 15:13, and
three miles, 25:09. It will be seen that all the records were
lowered by many seconds. For five days previous to the
race, Gafney had been sick, and wben he fioished the second
mile he was obliged to stop through weakness. On coming
too, however, he continued on, and although in stopping he
Iobi o?er one and a half minutes, he managed to break the
three-mile record by 42J Beconds. A couple of prejudiced
individuals who were present claimed that Gafney oid not
walk square during one period of tbe race, but as the judges
who followed tbe men around the track thought otherwise,
Gafnev's walking was accei ted as square. When C. B. Hill
made the mile record of 7:10iat Oakland six years ago, a
good many persons claimed that he had raD. It is a hard
task to judge walking, and it takes an expeiienced eye to
detect "mixing." Some people imagine that because a man
makes very fast time he must be running. They will not
take the trouble to watch tbe performer's movement steadily,
preferring to base their opinions on the announced time.
Charles Little, of the Alpine Ciub, surprised the people by
winning the Club 880-yard handicap run from scratch in 2m.
7Js , a little over a secoid slower than the coast record.
Little is a very small nai, and when in condition weighs
only 105 pounds. He has a splendid style, and overB ground
i-i a very graceful manner. Some of the "kickers" present
claimed that Little muit be a professional on account of the
fast time he made. J. P O'Connor, of the Alpine Club, won
the running high jnmp in grand style, clearing 5ft. 3Ain. He
was the scratch man With Bteady practice O'Connor should
get over 5ft. 6in. Charles Armbmster, who got secoDd, is a
very promising youug man, and also promises to become
famous at this pastime.

Garrison again achieved another victory by winning tbe
220 yard run from scratch in 24£ sees.

The three mile run brought out all *he cracks. Little won
in 16min 30sec , breaking the coast record by several seconds.
He had 15 seconds handicap. Coolly, of the Olympics, fin-
ished second. He waB one of the scratch men but Little re-
versed affairs by gaining on his handioap. Walter Scott also
started but had to quit on the second mile. Little can pro-
bably beat any amateur on the coast at any distance from a
quarter of a mile up to ten miles.

The open hundred yards run was won by J D Garrison, of
the Alpines, in 10J seconds. He had a start of 4 yds.

The final event was a steeplechase which H. C. Cassidy
easily won. He made a fine race considering the fact that he
was out of form.

Cooke, who participatfd in the three-mile walk obtained
second place, and he, although very tired, made good time.
The following is a summary of the results:

when asked to put a price on him after his last victory said
$25,000, $10,000 was offered for him and refused.

It is of the highest importance that the rule requiring ped-
igrees of horses to be given with all entries be enforced by
managers of trotting associations, and papers reporting trot-
ting races should always pedigree their summaries.

Mr. A. B. Etter, of Amherst, N. 8., while on a visit to the
United States, a short time ago, purchased the valuable two-
year-old filly Highlawn Belle, by Alcantara, 2:23, dam Al-
monia by Almont 33, out of the dam of ^nstomont, 2:27 J.

Mell.

Messrs. J. A. & A. H.Morris have a two year-old colt
called Glucose. The Castle Slable also rejoices in the posses-
sion of a Glucose of the same age. If both stick to the name,
the bewildered speculators are apt to get ''stuck" on the
wrong one,

Charlie Dennison left with the Rose Stable last week.
Charlie, who has been very successful this spring, should
learn a good deal on the Eastern trip, and as he can ride a
handy weight, is quiet and steady, he will reflect credit to
his well known sire, the irrepressible Dan.

The well-known broodmare Hettie B died at Capt. Frank-
lin's Kennesaw Stud, Gallatin, Tenn., on the 19th. She was
a bay mare, bred by Capt. Franklin in 1878, by imp. Glen-
garry, dam Kathleen (George Kinney's dam), by Lexington;
2nd dam Maria Innis by imp. Yorkshire.

The May Day races at South Park, Eureka, resulted as fol-
lows: Trotting, mile heals, 2 in 3, was won in Biraight heats
by T. F. Rick's bay mare Be?Bie; time, 2:52, 2:53£. ihe half
mile dash, for two-year-olds, was won by E C. Hunt's Arthur
H. Jr. The other trotting rac6 was won in straight heats by
Ole Peterson's brown gelding Charlie.

C. B. Hawkins, the breeder of the famous Longstreet, is
playing in hard luck. He has six mares, one of whom proved
barren, two others slipped their foals, two colts died after
living a few weeks, and only one of the lot, Semper Idem,
the dam of Longstreet, came out all right with a One brown
colt. He is by the great sire, Longfellow, and therefore a full
brother of Longstreet.

The following horses have been shipped by Mr. Ellam of
Picadilly, London, with a Btud groom and jockey, to Mr. A.
Whilebouse of Wyoming: Busy Bee, 8 yrs., bay horse, by
Altyre; Queen Bee, by King Tom; dementia, by Venison;
Little Vixen, 5 yrs., mare by Foxhall; Mattie— Astray, by
Blair Athol; Iluna, 13 yrs., mare by Blair Athol; Martinique,
by Macaroni; Taxation, 6 yrs., mare by Richelieu and a
Hackney stallion.

The five-year-old mare Seabreeze, winner of the Oaks and
St. Leger in 1888, and many other valuable races has been
Bent to Welbeck to the Duke of Portland's unbeaten St. Si-
mon by Galopin. Seabreeze is by Isonomy ont of St. Mar-
guerite by Hermit ont of Devotion by Stockwell. If the
result of the mating of two such royally bred race-horses
were put up at auction as a yearling the chances are that all
yearling prices would be eclipsed.

The lone Valley Echo says: Geo. Brown of Plymouth and
Elmer Devore of the Consumnes, came to lone, Wednesday,
and while here offered to trot their buggy horse against any
borse in town. Alex. Fowler of San Francisco looked at the
horse, accepted the proposition, and a bet of $20 a side was
made. Mr. Fowler then started out to find a horse, and Be-
leoted C. F. Bunch's Ajax. The rece, one mile dash, took
place at the Park in the afternoon. The visitor's horse trot-
ted a lively clip for a half mile, but Ajax was too much for
him and won by several lengths. The time, we are iniormed,
was 2:48i.

Several California racing men have been complaining about
the dearth of good trainers and yet James Garland, better
known aB Big Jim, is at present disengaged. Jim, is. as is
well known, one of the most successful trainerB ou the coast,
a favorite with all men on account of his kindly nature and
good judgment. All race goers recollect the tine Bhape in
which Beacon6field was brought to the post for his en-
gagements, while only last spring Emotion was in grand
form and with ordinary luck could not have lost the six
furlong race won by White Cload, Garland is at, present
living in Saoramento.

Two minuses make a plus. A pure-gaited natural trotter
is the result of the mating of Roy Wilkes 2.12$, and Jenny
Lind 2:17, both pacers, last season.

Since Samuel Emery, the bookmaker, paid $5,000 for Ford-
ham at the Dwyer sale last December, the speedy brown son
of Falsetto has won eleven races, worth §3,960.

An Austrian gentleman visiting New York made the journ-
ey from his country to induce one of the best of our jockeys
to go to AuBtria and ride for Prince Ester hazy, the principal
turfman in Austria. "Snapper" Garrison was approached
by this gentleman, who made a most tempting offer to the
"Snapper". It is said to be as high as $30,000 for the sea-
son, but Garrison was yet staunch enough to declare that
America was gcod enough for him.

The racing galloway Merry Bells, that died in England
about two weeks ago, while being prepared for the Abbey
Park meeting, appears to have been a greater performer than
old Barnum. She was foaled 1863, sired by Knight of St.
Patrick, dam Solitude, and bad won one hundred and
twenty-two races before she was retired to the paddock at the
age of twenty-une. Proving a failure as a matron, she was taken
up and put in training at twenty-seven years old, and she
was running wonderfully well until a day before her death.

French Park has been declared ont of the Suburban, a fact
which would seem to indicate that Mr. Gideon's horse will
not be able to undergo the severe work of training.

"W. "W. Adams of Lexington Lao bought of R. T. Arnold
the two year old colt by Vauxball-Silken Ban, by King Ban,
for $1,000, He will be shipped to Buenos Ayres, where he
will race.

The cheBtnutcoltFontenoy, 2 years, by Fonso, dam Sleepy
Kate, dropped dead at Lexington, Ky., while galloping on
the 22d. He wa3 well tried and considered a colt of great
promise.

One of the handsomest teams in the state is J. L. McCord's
two chestnuts, Mary Lou 2:25 J and afour year old gelding full
brother to her. Mr. McCord was driving them daily in Sao-
ramento last week.

It is Baid that Col. Mclntyre is having the McCarty white
hat renovated after its 17th of March experience, aod that it
will positively make its reappearance, with a new nap, on
Brooklyn Handicap day.

When Donathan left with the Hearst Stable it was intended
to go to Washington Park, and after a few days rest goto
New York, but while en route Donathan received a telegram
and went to St. Louis instead.

"If you stay in the breeding business twenty years longer,
I Dredict that you will make more money than if you worked
even a gold mine," was the remark of Senator Stanford to a
well known breeder after the close of the Palo Alto sale in
New YorK.

At the Belle Meade sale it was pitiful to see the anxiety of
the stud grooms when the stallions were being auctioned off.
Old Bob, the venerable head groom, was in a fever of anxiety
for fear some of hiB pets would be sold away from the farm,
and when IroquoiB was under the hammer and about to be
knocked down, the groom, who held the horse's bridle, not
knowing where the last bid came from, excitedly called out
to Captain Kidd, the auctioneer; "Be shore you close him on
de right man."

"When a shoe is to be taken off it must not be violently
wrenched at the risk of splitting off' a large piece of hoof with
it. Let the clinched ends of each nail be brBt turned back.
Then the shoe may be carefully raised with the pinohers,
far enough to withdraw the nails, to that their heads may be
taken hold of by the pinchers and each nail separately drawn.
The nails may also be drawn out, one at a tirre, so as not to
alter the position of the tip or Bhoe, and a fast nail, made to
exactly fit the countersink in the shoe and to pass through
the Bame hole in the hoof, may be driven in its place.

Jimmy Dnstin is gradually gathering together a fieleot
Stable of trotters for the circuit. Dan Dennison's old fnvorite
Rnbe 2:24 is among the string. Dastin still has room for an-
other good one or two, and as he is well known as one of the
best and steadiest drivers in the country; he should soon till
up the vacaucies in his stable. Only last week from
memory he ran eff over twenty horses with records bet-
ter than 2:20;whioh be has handled, including Johnston 2::06}
M»xieCohb2:i3J. Rowdy Boy 2:13$, Almont Patchvn 2:15,
Anteeo 2:16}. Darby 2:10J, Charley Ford 2:163, J Q2:17J, Pied-
mont2:17i, Ned Winslow2:17}. Allan Roy 2:l7i. Adelaide2:18,

Camors 2:19$, Deck Wright. 2:19$, besides lowering with
FauBtino last year the yearling stallion record to 2:35.

The Undine Stable and W. H, Smith's horses will go to
Chicago next week, the former will include Homer, the
speedy two year-old who beat Fairy at the Blood Horse meet-
ing; Tycoon, who was very successful last year at Sacramento
and other meetings; Racine, who has an untarnished escut-
cheon, for when he has not won, he has run seo <nd to his
stable companion; and Glenhvet, a two year-old sister to
Guenn. Joe Narvice will ride for the stable, and W. Mc-
Cormick— than whom there is no better — will train. Mr.
Smith will have the sensational Al Farrow, Longshot, the
speedy Susie S., and probably Duke of Milpitas with F. De
Poister in charge.

Jookeys make a great mistake in bringing the spur into the
fides of their horse as the first intimation that he is wanted
to jump forward. If daily piacticed to walk and to stand a
long time in row, and then at some painless signal to start off
with companions at no furious pace, and to pull up soon,
without any raoing, the young horse would ome to learn
that he need" not tear himself to pieces before his race begins,
nor be prancing ten yards behind, or with hiB head tbe
wrong way, when tbe tl ig drops. Trainers might often aciee
together or with any friend on horsebaca to introduce occa-
sionally the excitement of strange company, which would,
no doubt, be an important part ot tbe lesBon.

The Kelly & Samuels stable, with Dan Hennessy in charee,
will leave for Denver on Monday. Ed McGinnis, Pliny and
Lizette Will form the sttble. The former is well
known on the coast, having been a successful performer for
three years, while Pliny who was purchased a year ago from
Palo Alto, has done well for his owners and Bhould account
for the Colorado Derby. Lizette is a two year-old filly by
Hyder Ali out of Kate Fletcher. Casey McLaughlin will ride
for the stable instead of Cook, whose services have been dis-
pensed with. Tbe Golden Gate Stable and probably the
Orange Grove Stable will go at tbe same date to participate
in the racing at the Overland Park meeting.

Last week we noticed that the young Electioneer Btallion,
Bow Bells, had been severly injured at the Hermitage Stud.
"Bon Air" has a paragraph in the Spirit which would tend
to show that the cult was not aB badly injured as at first
supposed; he says

"The great Bow Bells received a Blight Wrt at the Hermi-
tage Stud the other day, which was at first thought to be
serious, but which, 1 am glad to state, will not result in any
permanent injury. The hurt was received while in the act j
of embracing a mare. In Borne way all Ins feet left the earth, i
and before tbe attendants could prevent it tbe horse foil to
the ground, striking on his hip. I asked Mr. Overton if the
horse was badly hurt, and he replied that he was not; that
he would be all right in a few days.'"

Le Roi Est Mori; Hermit is dead. Most race-goers will
recollect tho snowstorm year (1S67) when Hermit won the
Derby at 66 — 1. He was shortly afterwards relegated to the
Btud, and has earned undying fame for himself by his sons
and daughters, whose racing qualities were so excellent, and
the pnhlic demand for his services was so great, that Henry
Chaplin, the owner of Hermit, bad at last to limit him to five
approved mares — outside his own — at $1,250 each. Among
the best of his get are Shotover, St. Blaise {now Mr. Bel-
mont's property) both Derby winners, Friars Balsam, The-
bais, Peter, Tristan, Martini, St. Marguerite {dam of Sea-
breeze), Lonely, St. Mirin and St. Medard. Hermit mares
are invaluable, and as a matter of fact, cannot be purchased
for love or monGy. Flirt, the dam of Gorgo and Flambean,
U one of the few iu this country — by the way, Mrs. Lang try's
Friar luck is a full brother to Flirt. Hermit was foaled in
1864 by NewminBter, out of Seclusion by Tadmor, grandam
Miss Sellon by Cowl.

The Rose stable left for New York last Saturday morning.
Bridges had nine horses on the car, viz.. Mikado, ch g, 6,
Shiloh, dam Margery; Rico, b g, 3, Shauuou, dam Fannie
Lewis; Rover, 3, ch c Wildidle,dam imp Rosettu and six 2-year
olds; Conrad, brc, Flood, dam impGoula; Oscar, brc, Wildidle,
by imp Petroleuse, a brown colt brother to Rico by Shannon
ont of Fannie Lewis; Fairy, b f, Argyle, dam Fairy Rose-
dam of Racine and Shannon RoBe; Peri, blk f, a sister to
Oreflamme by Flood — Frolic, and Flight, b f, Bister to
Faustme by Flood dam imp Flirt, dam of Gorgo and Flambean.
Mikado was very successful last year in Californiaand should
make a usefol plater. Rico was the winner of the Nigbthawk
Stakes in 1:42, at Sacramento, last fall, and should be more
than useful. Fairy is probably one of the speediest two-year-
old fillies in America. Flight should be good. Monoban
and Charlie Dennison went on with stable. Mr. Rose left
this week for Ne# York.

An express agent, speaking of shipping Btock by freight,
told a story of Sam Bryant. "I had been negotiating last
spring with Sam Bryant concerning chipping his horses to
Louisville, and waBat WeBt Side Park talking to him, having
just about completed arrangements, when a red-faced race-
horse owner, who seemed to be on excellent terms with the
redoubtable Bryant, came up and in a badgering tone re-
marked: 'Htllo, Sam, you've a fool to ship them horses by
express when they will be just as safe and won't cost half as
much by freight.' I began to be a little uneasy for fear tbe
remark would influence my man not to let me have the ship-
ment, but I was soon reassured. 'Look here,' said Bryant,
as he turned a withering glance upon the Bpeaker and scanned
him from head to foot, 'I reckon you wouldn't.' Then after
a scornful silence of a few seconds, he jerked out: 'When I
had bosses like yourn, an' it ain't long ago neither— yen, 1

used to have 'em — I didn't ship by
'em through the courtry.""

Secretary Brewster of the Washington Park Club, Chicago,
is quoted ai saying: "I will bet a good round sum now that
El Lio Key will not win the American Derby, and I will go
farther than that and wager that he will not even be a Btarler.
I have had twenty-seven years' experience in the racehorse
bnsineps, and I have never yet seen a horse that had either
lung fever or pneumonia that had palled through aDd ran a
mile and a half at good speed. I do not cire whether the
horse is a roarer or not. There is one thine, however, that
I do know, and that is he was a very sick horse last fall. It
took four men to hold him up for hoars, and it was their at-
tention that pulled him through. Had he been allowed to
lie down the chances are that he would have died. Should
he come to the post there may be a lot- of fools who will be
scared oat by hia appearance, for there are lots of fools in
the racehorse business.

"At a sale of Nelson stock in this city on the 24th inst,"
says a Boston correspondent of the New York Sun, * Mr. C,
H- Nelson, the owner of the celebrated stallion Nelson, 2:14£.
and 'Myrtle' Downing, a well known sporting man, became
involved in a hot argument. Downing offered to wager $2,-
500 that Alcryon could beet Nelson, and characterized the
great national stallion race, which was trotted at Beacon
Park last September, which was won by Nelson, as a 'job.'
Nelson waxed warm and offered to bet $50 that Dowuing
would not make good his offer to bet $2,500. Whereupon
Downing put up $50 that he would bet, and went away to
get the money. He returned with $2,500, flaunted it in Nel-
son's face, after which he planked it down on a desk aod
called upon Nelson to cover It, at the same time claiming
the $50 which he said that Nelson wagered that be would
not 'put up.' A hot argument followed, which interfered
with the sa'e. At length a policeman cleared the crowd, and
the stakeholder, to stop all disputes, returned both Nelson
and Downing their money."

The sons of Eolus are in great request as stallions. Eolian
has been sold to Mr. Wm. Easton of New York, to Messis.
Kohrs & Beilenberg, Deer Lodge City, Montana. Eolian is a
brown horse, bred in 18S3 by Mr. R. J. Hancoek at the El-
lerslie Stud, Albemarle, Va. He is a son of Eolus, dam Ca-
lash, by imp PhaetoDj 2nd dam Blandina by Lexington; 3d
dam My Lady by imp Glencoe; 4th dam Motto by imp Bare-
foot. As a racehorse, Eolian was very successful. In 1887.
as a four-year-old, he won 16 out of 28 races, among them
the Woodlawn Handicap, one mile and three sixteenths, in
2K)2£, with 115 pounds, beating Euros, 116 lbs.; Volante,
120 lbs ; Qoito, Rupert, Richmond, Baroum, DryMonopole,
Ben Ali. etc. He defeated Hanover twice at Baltimore. At
Coney Island he did his mile in 1:40|, beating a Held of six
teen and carrying 111A lbs. The followng Bpring he eclipsed
this when, with 115 lbs. up, he beat a field of eight in 1:40J,
the field including Terra Cotta. Ejliao is one of the most
highly formed horses in the world, and if Montana expects to
produce more Spokanes, he is the right horse.

The conference committee appointed by the Vermont
State Agricultural Society and the Connecticut River Valley
Association met on the I6th iost. at White River Junction
and elected the following officers for the joint fair to be held
at White River the secoud week in September next: Presi-
dent, George W. Hooker: Secretary, E J. Wallace; Treas-
urer, J. C. Parker; Executive Committee, H. G. Root, H. N.
Mclntyre, Chester Pike, Henry CbaBe, F B. Kendrick, J. C
Parker, George W. Sm th and George W. Hooker. Plans
were submitted to the building committee for a fire-proof
exhibition building to be 34 by 100 feet, a graud stand with a
capacity of 3,000 people, five stables and other buildings nec-
essary. Piuses and premiums amounting to $8,000 are of-
fered for compe ition. In regard to a track, quite a strong
sentiment was expressed in favor of the kite-shaped track,
the latest fad in mile tracks One has ]ust b en completed
at Independence, Ii., and Vermouters want to be the first
to introduce one into New Eagland. It would be a big at-
traction, and as to its practiability it has the induraement of
some of the best horsemen in the country. The indications
are at present thai the kite-shape will be adopted.

R. E. Loft, writing in the London Live Stock Journal on
the subject of mules' breeding says:

There are a number of well-authenticated instances of the
female mule breeding. I think Herudotus makes mention
of one instance, it was, of course, regarded as an omen. If I
am not mistaken the Jardiu d' Acclimation in the Bois de
Boulogne haa more than one prolific mule, proline both with
the ass and the horse. 1 went with the idea of purchasing
one, but did not find the manager at home. One strain of
Barb (North Africa) is supposed to have a cross of the wild
ass of the desert, and there is certainly a mulish appearance
in some points noticeable in the Barb that is by ".o means
the casa in the Syrian. And the interbreeding of nnimalB in
a state of nature in different from that of animals in a state of
domestication. I believe a cross between the fowl and
pigeon has been produced, but not in a state of nature. I
6aw the Paris prolific mules, but did not see the foal, but the
whole matter is one of notoriety, though by no means com-
mon. The male mule is not often seen entire, is extremely
troublesome, attacking horses (entire) with great fury. I
have never heard of a stud mule getting stock, but there
may Livo been instances.

It is reali? sarpriBUig to note the change among Kentucky
breeders in their estimate of Clay blood in a trotting pedi-
Rree. But a few years ago it was "No Clay in mine;" now,
a horse bearing the nanae of Clay alone, without prefix or
annex, attracts to his embrace the best bred mares in Ken-
tucky, writes Mambrino in the Spirit.

The changed sentiment is probably as graiifying to Col.
Strader as anyone in America, excepting always Mr Randolph
Huntington. The Colonel relates a pleasant conversation he
had with Mr. Bonner after his Electioneer purchases that is
at this time qaite apropos. He, after congratulating Mr. Bon-
ner upoo his liberal investments in Clay blood, remarked to
him: "Mr. Bonner, you owe me forty thousand dollars."
To a man considering himself no man's debtor financially
this was rather a startling announcement to make. "How
is that?" inquired Mr. Bonner. "Why," s^id the Colonel,
"when yon, several years ago, compared the Clay blood in a
trotting pedigree as 'sawdust in na's it coBt me forty thousand
dollars. My horse, Cassias M Clay, became valueless to me
from that time as a pablic Btallion and just about broke up
Bob 8trader " Mr. Bonner, after feeliugly expressing his
deep regret that he should have been the innocent cause of
pecuniary loss to the Colonel, turned to his brother David,
in his ready way, saying, "Draw the Colonel a check for for-
ty thousand." The Colonel replied. "Yon draw it; I'll take
it." Aperson fully posted upin the turf perfcmiiucea of
some of the Clay familiet at the time Mr. Bonner was cred-
ited with the "sawdust'1 expression might conscientiously
have endorsed Mr. Bonner's views and oommended his dis-
cernment.

S. R. Crumbaugh has purchased from Walter Gratz of
Philadelphia, the celebrated thoroughbred stallion, Elkwood,
for $5 000, says an exchange. Daring Elkwood's racing
career he defea'ed "The Bard," Hanover, Kingston, Racelaud
Firenzt, Dry Monopole, Terra Cotta, Eolian, Exile. Dewdropj
\ olante, and a host of other first class horses. Perhaps the
two last races ever run by Elkwood were (he Keuner Stakes
at Saratoga, in which he ran two miles with US pounds op
in 3:3*1 as a three-year-old. This time has never been beaten
on tbis track hy a three-yeir-old, and the Great Suburban,
Conpy Island, in 1S88. in which he ran one and one-fourth
miles with a hundred and twenty pound* ap in 2:07+ this
being the fastest Suburban on ttcord. That Elkwoo'd is a
great horse, and will make a great sire, there can be little
doubt. He was sired by Eoius out of Minnie Andrews, by
Victory; 2d dam Nannie Harper by Glencoe; 3d dam Fannie
Hill by Monarch; 4th dam Allegraote by Young Traffle; oth
dam imp Phantnmia by Phantom, and bo on fifteen or twenty
crosses to Old Vintner Mare, thus combining the Leaming-
ton, Lexington, Glencoe, Revenue, Boston, Eclipse and Erne-
bus blood. Major Crumbaugh has named Mb breeding es-
tablishment "Elkwood Stud Farm," in honor of his famous
stallion.

"Yes, gentlemen, Small Hopes, Vanderb It's $10,000 trot-
ter, is now hanlingau express wagon in New York, and it's a
shame. He was the greatest 'ringer' on the American turf,
made fortunes for more than one man. I ought to know,
for I was his rubber."

There were a number of gentlemen in the reading room of
the Leland hotel, and they were all admirers of the trotter.
A discussion arose about Vanderbilt's and Bonner's posses-
sions of horseflesh, when the "rubber" or groom of Small
Hopes opened their eyes about the horBe whose name was on
the lips of members of every trotting association in America
fourteen years ago. After a successful career of five years,
the gang who handled him were detected in Boston, and after
considerable trouble had been experienced, the greatest turf
scandal of modern times was exposed.

The horse was forever barred at the meeting of the National
Turf Congress, and his driver, Bill McGuigan, was also barred
from ever driving a trotting horse for a purse or stake over an
association course. After much litigation the famous horse
was sold to Vanderbilt. With Lady Mac he annihilated all
team records, and in his old age is compelled to draw an ex-
press wagon. He was bonght by his present owner for $6i.

'"He must be about nineteen years old now," said the
former- groom, who is now in the real estate business, "but
when he was five years old he trotted mauy a mile in 2:15.
He was the cleanest trotter that overlooked thiongh blinkers;
no boots, braces, check reins or any modem trotting para-
phernalia for him. And when it came to heats, he was the
greatest stayer I ever heard of."— Horse Review.

Kicking horses are a dangerous nuisance, says a horse ex-
change, bat they can be frequently cured of the habit by the
use of expedients and exercise of patience. One lesson that
may take a good deal of time with a young horse, and espec-
ially with a yoong mare, is allowing articles of any kind to
be placed between its tail and its body. First put on a com-
mon crupper, and fasten it moderatelv tight to the surcingle.
Tne foreleg may be strapped up if necessary for this pur
pose, aod let down again as soon as all is secure. Let the
colt move round you, and you will soon see if it is going to
be licklish about its tail. If it kicks let it kick as long as it
will, and when it will not kick any longer slacken the crup-
per, so that it will drop three inches down its tail, and try
the colt round at that. When it will no longer kick at a
tight or 6lack crupper, tie a piece of stout string as long as
your lounging line to the crupper midway between the tail
ani the surcingle, and taking the loose end of the string in
your hand tighten and slacken the cruDper with it as the
colt passes round you. When reconciled to this, strap up
the foraleg and take off the cropper. Fold and secure a dus-
ter or some sach fabric round it so as to make the part that
goes under the tail three or four inches in diameter. Then
put the crupper on again, and try the colt round with it. If
it kicks keep it going until it kicks no longer- See that lit
is not too tight, and that there is nothing about it to make
very tender skin under the tail sore, so that it may be kept
on several days ann nights if necessary. It will have a
greater effect, and ba less likely to piodace any Eoreness or
tenderness if the materials under the tail, as well as its size
and position, are varied every day, The crupper can be
shortened and lengthened so as to touch different parts ot
the tail. On the fl-econd day a piece of wooly sheepskin
may take the place of the duster; on the third day a hay band,
on the fourth a loose cloth or a wide piece of leather or sack-
ing, and thus continue something new until the colt will take
no notice of any harmless thiDg, and will not pinch any of
them when placed under his tail. — Exchange.

The Times Democrat says: A look of renewed interest
was visib'e on the faces of every one present when the last
broodmare at Belle Meade was knocked down and the sale of
the stallioDs began.

There was a storm of enthusiastic applause as Uncle Bob
reluctantly led Luke Blackburn into the ring. "You have
before you, gentlemen," said Capt. Kidd, "a horse known
and admired from Maine to California. He is the most even
and beautiful breeder in America, and is regarded as the
greatest horse. How much to start him — $20,000?" There
was no answer for a niinate, when Ed Applegate of New
York broke the silence by offering $5000.

Uncle Bob's eyes rolled anxiously in the direction of bis
master, who had already said $6000. Van Kirkman then
bid $10,000 for R. 8. Hayne of Kooxville. Thousand dollar
bids were then made until the price reached $20,000. It
hung fire folly five minutes, and Capt. Kidd raised both
bands and announced that when they touched the horse was
sold. There was an impressive silence as he slowly brought
them together aod when they touched and Luke Blackburn
was to remain at Belle Meade a great yell went up and Uncle
Bob's eyes were raining tears of joy.

Iroqnois was started at $15 000 by Wm. Easton, of New
York. Gen Jackson immediately said $16,000. Easton qnit,
but Geo. Wbe-lick. for "Lucky" Baldwin, entered into the
bidding with $1,000 raises. Gen. Jackson promptly res-
ponded. There was a pause afier Jackson's bid of $32,000,
but finally Whi-elock came again with $33,000. Gen. Jack-
sou went him $1 000 better, and after another paiofal sus-
pense, Iroquois was knocked down to the owner of Belle
Meade.

Enquirer did not bring a bid of is much as $1,000, and
Gen. Jackson anid he should not be Btarted at ltss, and he
wns led back to the paddock.

Great Torn met the same fate, Capt. Kidd saying that he
had betn selling Tom's get ever »ince he bad been in the busi-
ness.

Bramble was started at SI 000. and run up to $2,500,'where
he was knooked down to Gen. Jackson.

The Times Democrat of the 2d savs: Those who have
backed Hanover for any of the early handicaps will not get a
start for their money, as the great race horse was fired and
blistered on the right foreleg yesterday morning by Dr
Shepherd, and will consequently be thrown out of training.
\\ hue this does not mean that Hanover retires permanently
from the turf, it will be sometime belore he will start in a
race again. The leg treated has been troublesome for the
past week, and sooner than risk breaking him down by con-
tinuing his work in that condition, the trip to the veterinary
was resorted to. He looks well bodily, and was within three
weeks or a month of a race. Sir Dixon will be the Dwyer's
reliance in the Brooklyn. With Hanovtr out of the way
Raceland bobs np serenely, and that the gelding i* meant for
the event is clear from the euDport he is receiving, $200
having been placed on him yesterday morning in one'book.
Mr. Belmont's horses will arrive at Sheepshead'Bay on Tues-
day next. It is generally understood that Gorgo, Senator
Hearst's splendid daughter of Isononjy, will also be an absen-
tee from the Brooklyn. The f ;ct of the matter is that the
mare is on the shelf at present, the old trouble in the
shoulder having shown itself once more. Diablo is doing
well in his work for the race, and so is Come-to-Taw.

The New York Jockey Club is pushing with giant strides
to the foremost rank as the most powerful jockey club in the
world. Its membership, which two months ago was but 800
is now at the 2500 mark. Where in the annals of clubdom
can such a record of membership be found. It almost seems
beyond belief, bnt it is an absolute fact, and I have no hesi-
tation in saying that hy tbe fall meeting of 1891 tbis club
will have a list of members in excess, in point of number, of
any four jockey clubs in the world. Mr. Koch, the courte-
ous and gentUmanly Secretary of this great association, has
done nearly everything in connection with its advancement.
It was due to his untiring energy and hard work that the vast
membership it now enjoys was secured. He has introduced
many features in the new club that will prove of great bene-
fit to horsemen, and the programme that will shortly be is-
Bued. will prove a revelation to owners, trainers and racing
p°ople geuerally. It is so far ahead of any of the programmes
formerly issued by the various racing associations, and con-
tains so much data information, an important memoranda
outside of its entry lists that it will be eagerly sought for by
all interested in racing. The books is handsomely gotten up,
and no expense ha* been spared in making it the finest thing
of the kind ever sent out by a racing association. Mr, Koch
has labored long and earnestly on the book, and to him will
be due all the thanks of horsemen for the most complete and
magnificent programme we have yet seen. It is the purpose
of the New York Jockey Club to allow members of all recog-
nized olubs in United States, Great Britain, France, etc., of
good standing, socially and financially, to become members.
The new and magnificent clnb house now being erected at
Morris Park at a cost of over a half million dollars, will soon
be ready for occupancy, and will be kept open the year round
jast like any of the other great clubhouses in this vicinity
(such as The Utiin, Union League, etc ) It will be sumptu-
ously furnished and equipped. Magnificent roads and drive-
ways leading to it are contemplated and will soon be con-
structed. And when one thinks of how reasonable it all is,
to be members of this great club, it seems almost improbable.
The initiation fee and dues for the first year, £25. seem
ridiculously sm«*ll, in fact no initiation fee is charged, the dues
being only $25 a year to resident members, and $15 per year
to non resident members. The club has a great future be-
fore it, and started off successfully by having secured so effi-
cient and hard working Secretary as it has. — The New York
Saturday Globe.

Mr. W. B. Jennings, the well-known Maryland turfman,
has a somewhat peculiar lawsuit on his bands just now, be-
ing in the nature of an action for damages brought by Miran-
da,Lane of Memphis for depriving her of the services of her
son Alexander, says the Sportsman.

It appears that the plaintiff was once a slave, and the boy
is her son by a second marriage.

"My client in 1872 married a man named Lane, and tbis
boy waB virtually her only child" said Mr. Ottis. "She
lived in a little house of her own and worked out. About
May 1, 1884 — in fact, to-morrow is the sixth anniversary of
that event — her boy did not come home for his supper. The
mother, distracted and broken-hearted, believed he bad fallen
into the Mississippi. Not for a week did she obtain the
slightest inkling of his whereabouts. Then his playmates
spoke of his having frequented the racetrack. Finally she
received a communication of Jennings, apprising her of her
boys whereabouts.

"She caused letteri to be written demanding his return.
They were ignored. After this suffering for four years she
applied to a lawyer in Memphis, and he sent the caae to
me. I do not suppose there ever was a case, excepting those
of abdaction for ransom, bo unfeeling and outrageous as this;
There never was a case where a man who claimB to be re-
spectable, perpetrated and persisted.in such an outrage. I
can only account for it on the supposition that Mr. Jennings
has entirely neglected to put himself in this bereaved old
mother's place. If there was no remedy at common law for
such a wrong I would want to go out of my profession."

Mr D. F. McDonald of No. 167 Broadway, is attorney to
Mr. Jennings. When asked for his side of the story: "In
April, 1884," he said, "Mr. JeDnings, who has a stable of
horses, was with them in MemphiB. Day after day this little
fellow came about the track importuniog the trainer to give
him a job. Finally the trainer called his employer's atten-
tion to the boy, who said that hiB mother sent him. He sent
word to the mother that he whs soon going away. Neverthe-
less, tbe boy brought a written agreement which was read by
one of his brothers to the mother, and to which he appended
her name by her request, wherein she agreed to let him go
with Mr. JenniugB for three years for his board and clothes,
be to have all moneys that be might earn riding horses for
other owners than Mr. Jennings.

"You see, be was then a little ragamuffin, and Mr. Jen-
nings thought he was doirg an unspeakable service to both
mother and boy in thus providing for him. After a year or
so she wrote to tbe boy to come home. Mr. Jennings tried
to get him to do so, and offered to give him the money to go
with. The boy was doing first rate and wouldn't go. A
year or so ngo this woman sued him for $2500 wages of the
boy and $2500 for loss of his society. Tbis suit is an out-
rage on the hoy, and more especially an outrage on a reputa-
ble, generous gentleman like Mr. Jennings/ who supposed
be w«s doiDg both mother and boy a great service in giving
the latter employment."

Racing men will uod^rstand what a hardship tbis case
mast be on tbe Man land torfman. It is bad enough to
take one of these urchins and try to make something out of
him, but when you can be sued for damages for doing so r
is oDe of those legal peculiarities which men are think it-
sadly.

THEJJUN.

"Real Sport" in Prance.

Charles Macalester. a rare shot, and as keen a sportsman
as shootR. writes most interestingly of the French manner of
seeking sport with the gun- He says:

"Would yoo like a day's shooting?" was the question put
to me one afternoon in Paris by one of the dearest and beet
Frenchmen that ever lived. I had not tired a gan for nearly
three months, and having heard a great deal aboat a "Bat-
tue," but Dever bad a chance to take part in one, it is need-
less to say I accepted on the spot.

We parted with the understanding of meeting at the Gare
du Nord nest morning at 7:30 sharp.

The next thing was to get a gun My French friend offered
me one of his, bnt they were pin 6re with very short and
crooked stocks.

Fortunately, I ran across a German-American, who told
me he had a beauty of Eaglish make and kindly offered it to
me.

When it reached home I found a nice No. 16. Haying or-
derea my cartridges, which arrived in due season, with my
natural curiosity, and always having u little hesitation about
shooting shells unless 1 know what is in them, I cut one
open.

The powder was all right, but the wide! Two, heavy;
thick felt over powder, and a good Bize hair wad over Bhot.
It waB too late to ohange them or order new ones, bo I packed
them up.

On my arrival at the station next morning I found my
friend, with live others, where they had been waiting for me
about half an hour. It is characteristic of the Frenchman,
when he goes anywhere— no matter how unimportant his
object— to start about an hour ahead of time, and wait in the
crowd for the gates and ticket office to open. Well, we were
fortunate enough to get a compartment to ourselves. Aa
soon as we started a pack ot cards was brought out, a game
of ecarte began, and we played until we reached our destina-
tion.

What card players the Frenoh are! They always have their
game at night. Father, mother and children all join in and
always play for something. I have Been three generations
represented at one table, the grand-parents taking as much
interest as the children.

On oar arrival we found one of the party had won the large
sum of twenty francB.

After haviDg a 6ne luncheon with plenty of red and white
wine to wash it down, a stage arrived to take u3 to the shoot-
ing grounds. It was a lovely drive of about four miles.
Arriving at the lodge we were met by the bead keeper and
fifteen beaters, each armed with two Bticks about five feet
long. After putting oar guns together and getting cartridges
ont, my friend, who happened to be the head man of the
club, blew his horn. I fully expected to see some honnds
come out, but no, it was to call the party together. He led
the way, and stationed ns aloDg a narrow road about fifty
yards apart. In the meantime the keeper and beaters had
gone way around the piece of woods we were to shoot first.
Two more blasts from the horn, answered by the keeper a
quarter of a mile away, and then perfect stillness, every one
on the lookout for rabbits, woodcock, partridges and hares,
in fact, anything that should show itself. After a few minu tes
you hear the beaters hitting the bushes and trees with their
sticks, driving everything in front of them. The next minute
the bunnies are up to us, and such a cannonading! It is
very exciting for a few minutes, but one is in fear of being
shot by his neighbor as a rabbit jumpB across the road and
bang goes the gun of the man next to you.

My gun was so hot I could hardly hold it. We gathered
two woodcock (my, what fine birds they are; nearly twice the
siza of oura), one partridge, fifty-two rabbits; eight owls, two
ducks and five hares.

After this we went to another bit of woods, and the Bame
performance was gone through, bnt this time we did not
have quite such good luck, but numbered all about the same
amount of game, many of the counts being blackbirds and
thrushes.

We then Btarted back for the lodge; afterchanging clothes,
shoes, etc., etc., we had a cup ot tea, drove back to the
village, took the train and began ecarte again. Before we
arrived in Paris our friend had lost the twenty francs he had
won in the morning, and when we settled up we found all
stood about square, as usual.

They have two kinds of partridges in France — "Perdrix
Rouge, " or red-legged partridges, are considered the best, and
Rive fine shooting, as they are very fast flyers. "Perdix
Griae," gray-legged, are nearly the same in size as the red-
legged; they are twice the size of our quail.

Their Caille, or quail, are very small; about the size of a
marsh blackbird, but broader.

Kabbita are the Bame size as ours, but much lighter in
color; rather a bluish gray.

The hares are the same color as our rabbits, about twioe the
size. By the way. have we any rabbits in this country, or
are they hares? Rabbits burrow. Hares do not; what we
call rabbits live entirely above ground.

Two Notes from Shooting: Times.

It was not until the beginning of the present century that
double-barrelled guns came into favor. aDd they were at h'rat
considered unsportsmanlike. Why? Because two birds
o Juld be killed at each point!

AN EPITAPH.

Beneath this Blone sleeps William Farrel,

Whose earthly dream exploded
When he looked down the shotgun barrel,

Not thinking it was loaded.

The Gun Club has adopted a very neat uniform to wear on
occasion of their shoot6. It consists of a navy blue "Nor-
folk" jacket, with a braiding around the collar and cuffs of
an inch wide same color, a very genteel, Btylish garment
and a navy blue soft felt hat to match. The club hope, at
least the members in great part, to wear its new uniforms at
the picnic on "Memorial Day," 30th of May, at Ross Valley,

We should like to have the opinion of Dr. S. E. Kuowlea,
Mr. D. J. Haas and Mr. Crittenden Robinson about the sub-
ject matter of the following paragraph, touching the headaohe
which in the gentlemen mentioned, too olten follows a hard
race at the traps.

"How my head aches!" said a beginner at the Wellington
traps the other day, to a Boston reporter.

"Merely a gun headache," answered an old trap shot;
"you'll Boon get used to the noise, and will not be troubled

The reporter cornered one of the oldest trap shots on the
grounds and propounded the question:

"What is the cause of gun headache? lb it due to the
noise, the recoil, or both?"

'Well," said he, "I think it is doe mainly to the noise,
though the excitement consequent on the shooting helps as
much as anything in the men it attaoks. You very seldom
hear of it in an old Bhot, unless his ayBtem is out of order.
The constant banging Boon gets one accustomed to it. Gun
headache attacks a man who has never been accustomed to
sharp ringing noises, and some are more sensitive than
otheis."

"Is shooting with Shulize or white powder any preventa-
tive?"

"Yes, if every one uses it, but at the traps the proportion
of black piwdera is 29 to 1. I think the ache iB produced as
mnoh bv the other reports as by that of one's own gun."

"Have you known men who never have had the trouble?"

"Certainly, just as there are men who go through life with-
ont disease. I don't think there is any protection agiinst
it, and the cure depends on the conditions."

ROD.

The Fish Commission.

The May meeting of the Board was held on Tuesday at 220
Sutler st , City, both the Honorable Joseph Routier and
Honorable J. Downey Harvey being present.

The minutes were read and approved.

The report of the Chief of Patrol was submitted in these
words:

The Honorable the Boakd of Fish Commissioners,
Gentlemen; — The monthly report of the Chief of Patrol for
April is submitted with a degree of satisfaction because a very
considerable amount of work has been done, both in relation
to fish and game. Yoor Deputies have been active and have
been rewarded by the appreciation of all who know of their
proceedings.

The easts of Chinese arrested for fishing with bag nets
and for having small fish in possession which were pending
in the Police Cjurts of San Francisco at the time of the last
report, have all been disposed of. That of Yan Ching wbb
dismissed by Judge Rix because the evidence tended to show
that the small fish were caught five miles from shore in the
Pacific Ocean, and Judge Rix held that his Court had no
jurisdiciion. An effort was made to show the absurdity of
the Chinaman's claim to have fished with a bagnet and
caught the very amall fish found in his possession, so far at
sea but the opinion of the Judge coul 1 not be shaken. Before
Jndge Lawler on April Hth, five Chinese were tried for hav
ing the young of fish in possession and the evidence seemed
clear and conclusive, but Judge Lawler professed to be in
doubt as to whether the five men fonnd in the boat with the
fish were actually owners of the boat and in possession of
the fish. The Judge dismissed the case. On April 9th, at
Martinez, Judge Jones, of the Superior Court, denied new
trials to the nine Chinese convicted before by JadgeBailhache
and who appealed from the decision of the Justice. The
men are at liberty on bail but will soon be compelled either
to undergo imprisonment or to pay their tines. On the 15th,
Deputy Curley was compelled to arrest an Italian fisherman
who refused to submit to authority and to pay the fishing
license. The man was tried by Judge Lawler and dismissed
upon agreeing to pay his license at once.

On the 19th Deputy Tun6tead discovered and took posses-
sion of a lot of deer akinB from which evidence of sex had been
removed. The skins belonged to L. Lobree of Covelo, Men-
docino Co., and were consigned by him to the Sawyer Tan-
ning Co. at Napa. Lobree is the man from whom the Saw-
yer Tanning Co. received the hides which were the subject
of action against the Tannery Co. by your Honorable Board
a few monthB ago. At that time the Sawyer Co. professed to
be in Bympathy with your Commission and disavowed all de-
sire to antagonize your honorable body, the law and public
sentiment. It was hoped at that time that the Sawyer Co.
and other Tanning Companies would instruct .their agents
throughout the mountain regions, not to receive doe skins or
skins from which evidence of sex had been removed, but it
appears that the confidence was misplaced since Lobree now;
ships many objectionable hides to the Sawyer people. The
hides are in the premises of the San Francisco and North Pa-
cific Railway Co. where they will remain subject to the order
of your Honorable Board. There seems to be justification
for prosecuting Lobree, and your instructions in relation to
the matter are requested.

On the 19th I went to Benicia by direction of Commission-
er Harvey to ascertain the condition of affairs among the sal-
mon and shad fishermen there. I found the fishermen on a
strike because the canneries refused to pay five cents per
pound for salmon delivered to them; three hundred and fiity
men and half that number of boats were idle. No fishing
was being done nor is it probable that much will be done for
some time to come, since the markets of the world are glut-
ted with packed Balmon and the canners prefer to suspend
operations rather than to run at a loss. From Benicia I went
up the Sacramento river, finding no nets with meshes smaller
than are allowed by law. A large portion of the month has
been passed by Deputies Innes and Curley in colleofing
licenses from fishermen along the Sacramento, they were
compelled to use a row boat, a slow, tedious, ineffective
method of progression when the distances to be covered and
the necessity for rapid transit are couaidered; if the Board
could secure the use of a ateam launch for a few days the
whole fishing interests of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
rivers and tributaries, as well as the fishing stations about
Sai* Francisco Bay, could be visited, and a much larger sum
secured from sale of licenses than has ever accrued hereto-
fore. The attorney for the Board, Mr. Ramon E Wilson, in
accordance with the request of the Board, drafted an ordi-
nance prohibiting the offering for sale of striped bass less
than eight pounds in weight.

The ordinance has been presented to the Supervisors, con-
sidered in committee, and received the support of the
Board and has become the law for this city and county. The
Fisherman's Union at Benicia requests the appointment of
a Deputy Fish Commiaeioner from among the residents ot
that citv, a request which I gladly second. The brown
quails distributed by your Honorable Board have in several
sections paired, and it seems probable tbat they will be-
come acclimaled readily and do well. Respectfully sub-
mitted. F. P. Callunpan, Chief of Patrol.
San Francisco, May, 1890. j

Deputy Fish Commissioner A. Googens, of Santa Cruz, in
his monthly report to Chief of Patrol Callundan, says:

As requested, I make you a report from my district.
I have succeeded in making the fishermen in the bay re-
spect the laws as to Setnets and Bagnets, and as far aa I
know, the laws are now being observed, unlesB the nigut
fishermen violate the law, which cannot very well be pre-
vented, as it is difficult to detect them, and the only way to
determine that, would be to make a raid on them in the
night with a boat. I cannot devote all my time to looking
after the law-breakere, as it does not pay me, but will do all
I can to see that the law is enforced.

As to trout fishing, I am sorry to say that there iB none
hardly to be had; the Btreama, which a few yeara ago were
full of trout are now depleted. Was np on the San Vicente
Creek two weeks ago; went up for two miles above the old
saw mill, and could not get a bite, and there were no Bigus of
young Hth in the stream. This is a beautiful stream of
water, and once was a fishing stream; also fished at Mill
Creek, whioh empties into the San Vicente, and that too ia
cleaned out. Reports from other streams aretheeame, and un-
less these streams are re-stocked, trout fishing is done for in
Santa Cruz County. The Rod and Gun Club has done food
work this last close season in protecting the streams, and ex-
pected with the long winter, to have good fishing, but they
are much disappointed and discouraged, and declare tbat the
streams are depleted and must be re-stocked, (notwithstand-
ing the report of the Academy of Sciences, saying that our
trout are the off-spring of salmon).

I am satisfied that salmon exist in the streams, but they
are not, and were never very numeroas.

Hoping some time in the near future of seeing you in
person and discussing the matter more fully, I am,
Yours truly,
A. Goot-iEN's, Deputy Fish Commissioner.

J. G. Woodbury, SaperintendeDt of Hatcheries, reported
that since the last meeting of the hoard be had been to Lake
Tahoe to begin the spring wurk there. He found the snow
still very deep, the house being entirely buried. The flume
was badly damaged and extensive repairs were found neces-
sary. Some delay waa caused by the roads being blocked,
and a steamer and scow were chartered to take the outfit up
to the mouth of Taylor Creek. After providing for the com-
fort of the expedition, the seines were drawn for several
nights, bnt only a few fish were caught, The streams were
low, the water cold and the season was backward. What
spawn was obtained was sent to the hatchery at Tahoe. The
assistants of Mr. Woodbury — Messrs Hunt and Benton — will
continue fishiug until the hatchery is full of eggs

Mr. Woodbury went to SiBson and found the 400,000 young
salmon in good order. At Shovel Creek 1,200.000 trout egg
were taken. Arrangements have been made with the North
Pacific Game and Fish Club to receive 100,000 trout egg*
from Shovel Creek and hatch them out at Glen Ellen and
distribute the yonng trout into Sonoma Creek and the Rus-
sian River and its branches. The club will do this free of
cost to the State. Arrangements have also been made with
Mr. Knox and Mr. Green to have them receive 50,000 eyed
trout eggs from Shovel Creek, which they will send to the
hatchery on Los Gatos Creek. They will hatch out these
eggs and distribute the young fish, one-balf into the head-
waters of Loa GatoB creek and one-half into the waters of
San Lorenzo Creek. Fifty thousand trout eggs will be shipped
to Alexander Badlam's new hatchery near Mount St. Helena.
These eggs will be a good addition to the streams and cost
but little to the State. Four hundred thousand trout eggs
will be shipped this week from Shovel Creek to the hatchery
at Sisson. As soon as she roads are open to McCloud the
Eaatern trout willbe ehipped there and to Senator Stanford's at
Vina: also to the west fork of the Sacramento River, Shasta
and Big Springs in Siskiyou County.

Mr. Woodbury's energy was favorably commented on by

the Commissioners.

Up or Down.

A correspondent has begged an explanation of what the
floating fly and dry fly fishing for trout is; aDd as the topic
is ODe especially seasonable, I will explain briefly says a par-
ticularly krowing exchange: It has been fonnd in Europe,
and par.icularly on the clear chalk streams (so called because
they arise from the chalk Btrata), that the wily salmo fario,
or brown trout, will not take the fly unless it is almost an
exact copy of the natural insect, aDd also unless it is pre-
sented in the most exactly imitated manner of the natural fly.
This is the case also on some streams I wot of in this country
and hence my correspondent's query.

Such being the state of affairs, what does the angler do?
He watohes for the rise of the natural insect and captures one
and takes it to hia fly dresser, or if he can do it himself he
sets to work and as nearly as the resources of fur and silk and
feathers will allow, he fabricates a counterfeit presentment.
A large amount of wing is necessary — sometimes a double
pair — and he then proceeds to the river side. Does he go up
stream and fish down — oh, no! No such dilettante work — he
would never catch a fish. He knows that the trout always
heads up-stream, and he wants to get the blind side of him.
As Seth Green once said to me about bass fishing, * to catch
lots of bass you don't want to let them known you're in the
same county,'' and so iB itwith our tront fisher. Beuee he
fishes up; but the fly is delivered with the greatest delicacy,
and the leader must be of the fineBt gossamer gut, and the
fly must float od the water without movement of any aort.
That is precisely what tbe water born insect does. He just
aailB down; he does not struggle like a fly in a milk bowl. Of
course tbe top of the rod iB gently lifted to pick up the slaok
line, and the space fished is very short, but it is in that space
that Piscator expects his quarry to be, and if he does not
find him in the spot he can comfortably oommand he tries
somewhere else. Perfeotly simple!

But, of course the fly gets wet after tbesecond or third cast
or throw, and to dry it he makes several false casts — that is,
he briugs the rod back and forth, but does not allow the lure
to fall on the water unlil he thinks the air has sufficiently
dried it to allow of its floating"; The floating ia a sine qua
non, and aeveral devices are resorted to to aecure the floating
puses, especially io the larger flies. One is to use oolored
straw in tbe compoeilion of the body; another, to increase
the number of wings, and another is to waterproof the wings
— wLich latter is a very good plan, and one I adopt myself,
and that with a novel waterproofing. This consists of the
oil from the oil sac under tbe tail of all the duck family— mine
is prooured from the little oleaginous "dipper" of the eaatern
and northern counties of New York, but I am not sure the
gre»ce from the ordinary domestic duck would not do as well.
I boil the feather in tbis fat, and it is astonishing how the
water will run off it. Tbe application of a solution of rubber
in peroxide of hydrogen is another way, but it is only appli-
cable to large bass flies and lake trout rlief*. and Ub "odor is^*
well, »imply appalling.

"The California Fish Commissioners are doing work in the
right vein this year. This body was formerly one of the
niOBt efficient in the country, and meted out stern punish-
ment to offenders. Then it fell into idle ways and had a
triangular quarrel among its members, which long impaired
its efficiency. These difficulties, however, seem now to be
of the past, and if the Commission continues to work as hard
and as intelligently as it has lately, a new era is opening be-
fore anglers and sportsmen. California has four large batch-
eries — 0ne at Lake Tahoe, with a capacity of twenty-four
troughs; one at Sisson's, of forty-four troughs, one of the
largest in the United States; a small one at Shovel Creek,
used for "eyeing" the trout eggs for distribution over other
parts of the State, and a large salmon hatchery on Hat Creek
near its mouth, where it empties into the Pit River in Shas*
ta County. The Eastern trout that were put into Placer
Creek, Lake Tahoe, and into the headwaters of the American
Biver and Soda Springs, and the South Fork of the Tuba
Biver, have maintained their characteristics and reproduced
themselves in large numbers. The striped bass introduced
in 1883 have evidently made themselves at home in San Frau-
oisco Bay, one weighing thirty-five pounds being caught in
Benicia a Bhort time ago. The Commissioners have discov-
ered that the Cbineee have been netting young bass of per-
haps a quarter of a pound weight, and selling them in Chin-
atown and elsewhere. The penalty 1b a fine of one hundred
dollars, or one hundred days in the connly jail. The city
supervisors are expected to pass an additional ordinance for
the protection of the bass."

[Those who have followed the labors of our Fish Commis-
sion will feel grateful to our skilled and discriminating con-
temorary. "The Weeks Sport" published in New York for

mission is inadequate. Th« places are honorary, but the

A Week of Good, Bud and Indifferent
Ball Playing.

Games Played.— Standing of the Onfos and Notes.

The past week of baseball has been characterized by the fluct-
uation of the different terms in the percentage column. Frisco,
by a hard struggle, still retains the lead, and Oakland hap ad-
vanced to Becond place. Stockton has gravitated down to
third position, and the plucky little Senators, though still at
the "bottom of the heap." have advanced a trifle in the per-
centage of games won. The record:

San Francisco vs. Sacramento, Friday, Slay tod <.t Oak-
land.
About eight hundred rabid Oakland cranks assembled at
the grounds at Emery Station in the hope that San Francisco
would meet her Waterloo in the game with the Senators.
Bnt the Frisco boys just "fooled 'em," although it took eleven
innings to do it. The Senators had the best of it as regards
hitting, bnt their infield errors were very costly, and to this
may be attributed their defeat. The features were the back
stop work of Bowman and Speare, and the pretty fielding
of Roberts, Levy, Godar and Reitz.

Although outplayed both in the field and at the bat, Oak-
land was victorious in this game by reason of olever hitting
in the- first four innings. A brilliant triple in the first in-
ning in which O'Neill, McDonald and Isaacson figured, was
the principal feature.

ELEVEN INNINGS.

The second eleven winning game of the week was played
last Sunday before some 5,000 people. As a game it was a
combination of heavy hitting on one side and miserable blun-
ders on the other. Borchers did not pitch the g*me be is
capable of and Wilson's back stop work was faulty. Kelly
playing at third was also very ragged. Buohan and Hanley
both played their positions "out of sight" and their hitting
was very olever. The score was tied in the seventh and the
following three innings were non-prodnctive of runs. In the
eleventh Spear led off with a single and stole second. Levy
struck ont but on Stevens double Spear tallied which was the
winning run.

"an Francisco vs. Sacramento, Saturday, May 3rd, at

The Senators won their first game from San Francisco and
their first game on the Haight street grounds by making four
ruos in the fifth inning, which together with three secured in
the second, save them the lead which they maintained to
the close. Zeigler gave way to "Toreador" Harper in the
fifth, who pitched out a good game. Reitz, Goodenough and
Hanley excelled in fielding, while Daley, who makes marvel-
lous piok ups, was way off in throwing.

The Stocktons resurrected Ban Flynn from "innocnous
dpsuetude" and put him in to pitch against tLe Colonels.
This he did right well, there being but seven hits secured off
his delivery. He was, however, wild, and the nine bases on
balls given by him are largely responsible for the Oaklands
victory. The battery work of the Oaklands was very effect-
ive, and Wilsou'e Fogarty's and HolUday'a fielding was much
appreciated. Many of Donohue's decisions did not find fa-
vor with the Stock toman s.

Sacramento vs. Oakland, Ma? 5tn, at Sacramento.

Meegan was hit unmercifully in the game with the Sena-
tore, home rons, triples and safety shots being the order of
the day and of their ten runs eight were earned. Harper
pitched pennant winning ball from the start and received ex-
cellent support. A very disagreeable feature was the qiarrel
between umpiie Chipman aud player O'Neill, which resulted
in O'Neill who appears toliave been the aggressor being ar-
rested.

PROFESSIONAL PICK-UPS.

Where is Hen Moore?

Euchan is improving in hitting.

Borchers did not exert himself in last Sundays game.

Selua is playing an admirable first base for Stockton.

Good news continues to come over tne wires concerning
"Pap" Swett.

Nick Smith is playing a great short field for Kansas City.

The second base ball play of little Reitz is a revelation to
California base ball patrons.

The Sunday crowds seem to be diminishing which may be
attributed to the picnic season being now inaugurated.

Daley is the only weak spot in the infield of the Sacramen-
to team. There is much room for improvement in his
throwing.

Fudgera salary will lie reduced five dollars this month for
not running on his fair hit last Sunday.

A new league to be called the Inter Mountain league is
being formed by teams from Heleoa and Butte City Moun-
tain and Salt Lake City and Ogoen Utah.

Smalley is more than holding his end up with Cleveland.
Reports irom that city pronounce him to be the best player
ever seen there in that position-

The jewelry firm of Nat Raphael & Co. has offered a trophy
to the team winning the championship of the California
league. It consists of a silver plated bat and ball, regulation
size, and is handsomely engraved. It is now on exhibition
in their show windows on Kearney Srreet.

The frie .dship exis ing between Ed Stapleton and Fred
Roberts, of the Sacramentos, is of the Damon and Pythias
type. Stapleton thinks there is no better fielder in the bnsi
ness than the Oakland boy, and Roberts is of the opinion
that as a gentlemanly ball player, Stapleton is at the "top of
the heap."

The Sacramento players guy Zeigler for his weakness in
hitting. The other day after he had struck out, Capt. Sta-
pleton said: "George, why don't you get your eye on the
ball?" to which the pitcher replied: "I can get my eye on the
ball all right, but the trouble is I can't get my bat on it."

The Friday games at Emery are graced by several of the
Catholic clergy, who take a deep interest in the sport. Base
ball since its incipiency has always been recognized by the
clergy as a healthful and invigorating pastime, and one which
is highly conducive to good morals, and consequently it has
received the encouragement and co-operation of "the facul-
ties" of every college throughout the land.

THB AMATEURS.

E. T. Aliens vs. Burlington, Sunday. 11 a. m.
Mas 4tn, at Haight Street.

The Burlingtons won their first game of the season by
defeating the Aliens "just by a scratch." It was a prettily
played game throughout, and the errors made were principal
poor throws. The battery work of McDonald and Stanley
of the Aliens was excellent, and the fielding of Dunn Reilly
and McCarthy was of a high order. The Aliens oat batted
and out-fielded their opponents, but lost the game by the
Burliugtons bunching their hits in the ninth inning. The

AMATEUR SHORT HITS.

Cook is quite a bitter.

Lewis, of the Aliens, is on the sick list.

Diok Nagle captains the Woodland team.

Gene Brodericks error was a very costly one.

The E T Aliens have been photographed.

Santa Rosa has five left hand hitters.

Haydook and Elwell form the bat'ery for Ventura.

Frank Warren is tbe veteran manager of the league.

Fiuoigan is doing fine work in the box for Merced.

Tillson is playing the game of his life at short this season.

Strand, of the Will & Fincks, is the best long distance
thrower in the league.

Dave Creamer, of last season's Stooktons, is a valuable ac"
quisition to the ranks of the Aliens.

Little Gimmel, of the Santa Rosa's, is referred to as the
Hughey Nicol, of the Amateur League.

Leveque has found his position in the field and is playing
it "out of sight." There are "no skates" on Joe.

Davo Levy has become quite a coacher. He is said to
even rival "Lorg John Riley" in his palmiest days.

Callen, the blonde pitcher of Santa Rosa, is a most grace-
ful roan in the bis. He has good speed, corves and drops
and best of all possesses a good clear head.

We regret to announce the serious illness of that popular
and clever young plarer John Cooney. John lies very sick
at the residence of his parents and it is to be earnestly hoped
that he will soon be convalescent.

Matt Stanley is showing a marked improvement in hi8
backstop work. He has effectually remedied his only weak-
ness—that of throwing to ba-es — and now his good right
arm asserts its power at every opportunity.

The Vallejos are still in the League, the differences be-
tween Manager Campbell and the other managers of the
League being amicably settled. It is stated chat under the
new aarangement the visiting teams will receive twenty-hve
dollars and expenses or an option of taking forty per cent, of
tbe gross gate receipts.

THE KENNEL.

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

A Counter-Blast.

Ed:tob Breeder and Sportsman. — Permit me, on behalf
of the Bikerafield members of the Field Trial Club, to criti-
cise the unfair comments made in your last issue, by a "local
light in pointer breeding circles" about one of our brother
members, the judges at the last trials, and your endorse-
ment of the views of the growler.

It is to be regretted that the Bakersfield members of tbe
club will make no entries for the trialB next January, and
having made none this year, we are in a position to judge
as to the fairness of the manner in which they were conducted,
and as a nnit, we agree that any reflection cast upon any
member of the club, so far as our observation went, and we
were present at all meetings held here, is UDjust. When the
"pointer man" suggests that any one man controls the club,
we consider that his prejudices overcome his good judgment,
and when he claims that any decision of the judge was in-
fluenced by anyone, we maintain that he makes a wilfull,
malicious aud unwarranted statement.

The petty dissentions which have cropped out in our club
during this year are unworthy of its gentlemanly and whole-
souled members; let us bury such seDtiments, gentlemen,
and join hands with the good will which characterizes the
true sportsman, aud you, Mr. Editor, never again admit that
such views as appeared in your last issue, can "be carefully
considered with profit." W. E. Houghton.

Bakersfield, April 4, 1890.

[Our esteemed friend, Mr. Houghton, seems in error when
suggesting that we either endorsed or repudiated the opinions
expressed by a correspondent last week. His views were
given in his own words, and are to be taken for what they
are worth. The same deflire to be fair which prompts us to
present Mr. Houghton's rather severe letter, actuated us in
publishing the other, and we can see nothiDg in the presen-
tation of either, likely to work harm. If a lively rattling of
the dryish bones of the field trial association results in in-
creased activity, the end is to be desired. If other readers
care to send their views, we shall be glad to publish them. —

A large pointer dog, white and lemon in color, obedient to

THE FARM.

The Shorthorn.

At the recent coovention of the "Wisconsin Farmers* As-
sociation, reported in the Southern Gazette, Hon. H. 0.
Thorn made an address to the breeders of Shorthorns, in
wbioh he said:

"The trouble with the cattle business at present iB not so
much the low price they bring as the kind of cattle that are
thrown noon the market. Good stockis bringing better than
$5 per 100 pounds to-dav, while most cattle are changing
hands at from SI. 75 to $2.50. Beef can be made on Wiscon-
sin farms at $4 per 100 pounds at a fair profit. Lower prices
than S3. 25 are ruinous to most breeders. As near as I can
estimate, beef can be produced at S3 per 200 pounds. That
this can be done can he figured as absolutely as that butter
can be produced at 13$ cents per pound, or that calico can
be manufactured for 3*centB per yard. Three conditions are
essential in order that meat can be prodoced at this figure:
first, good stock; second, economical feeding and handling;
third, early maturity. In some respects cattle are like men;
the lean and hungry ones, although great consumers, are
rarely fat ones. Your attention is respectfully called to the
president of this association. It makes some men tired to
carry arouDd what they eat; others of closer build and more
quiet consciences are content with what they get, and rumin-
ate over the cut of the eternal fitness of things and grow fat.
The racer is the result of long years of careful breeding. The
bullock, although of greater bulk, represents just as much
skill as the courser. There is a strong sentiment in maDy
minds against inbreeding. In a broad senBe the tide may set
the right way. Many of us undoubtedly need training to
know just what to do. It might be well to say here, however,
that tho Shorthorn breed was beBt developed and perfected
in the hands of a man who brought this about by the severest
practice of inbreeding. The animals grew under his careful
eye in grace and beauty. Desirablepoints were strengthened
and developed; the weak ones eliminated and destroyed. An
abiding faith that skill would win brought about the grand-
est results, made the name of the man immortal and left a
race of cattle that lovers of graceful lines and colors will fall
down and worship, for verily they were golden calves whose
mothers would sniff at the sacred cow. The feeding and
handling can best be brought out in the discussion, perhaps,
because I can then call to my aid men of greater age and ex-
perience. My experience has given me radical ideas on theBe
matters; they may not be progressive; surely they are honest.

"The question of maturity nextdemands attention. Three
and 4-yaar-old cattle are unprofitable. Thirty months is an
Rxtreme age to turn off. The first 600 pounds is cheapest.
I know of a 5-year-old steer that was kept 365 days, eating
as many pounds of grain and hay as when 4 years old, and
gained never a pound. Feeding experiments at our Wiscon-
sin Btation give ample data to clinch the statement that the
quicker the maturity the greater the profit. That feeders
complain is not to be wondered at. The stock yards evi-
dence criminal bungling. Matched clear flooring is worth
more than cull lumber. A poor ax helve finds a customer
only in a plug chopper, who Bplits kindling wood for his wife
at the back door, and does that little under protest. Yet Mr
Jones, of Dane county, sends a steer to Chicago that makes
the average Texan stare, and kicks because he does not get
the top of the market. The steer 1b not to blame; oh, no!
Jones made him and he pays the freight. JoneB would not
expect a big price for poor eggs, bat he does for poor meat.
Experience is not quite so strong in the latter business.
"When he 'goes broke' Jones will wake up. It is all folly to
talk of going out of th9 stock business. It is the true foun-
dation of rotation. Without Btock, farms will rapidly de-
plete in fertility. "Wisconsin farmers have had a bitter exper-
ience, and will not be caught again. It takes as much time
and coBts as much money to restore a lost fertility as it does
to clear and break the original homestead.

"I would suggest that the general market might be im-
proved if more attention could be given by our foreign con-
sulates to this great industry. With much regret I am con-
strained to say that few of them know or care how much
could be done in this direction. Nothing but flimsy excuses
Btand in the wav of heavy exportation. Many of the so-called
rulings are in direct violation of the existing treaties. The
thousands who are in the business of beet production, the
millions of money invested, Bhould demand recognition and
a channel paved to good foreign markets. That herdsmen
may not become discouraged, I beg to call attention to the
fact that we are growing faster in our demands than we our
in Bkill in breeding and feeding. It is but a few short years
since steers were changing hands at $12 per head, just Bucb
cattle as we think ought to bring S5 per hundred. What
right have we to ask this? This right — that we wish to ride
in a carriage. A wagon used to answer. Wheat, so we say,
can not be raised for 75 cents per bushel. My father used
to raise it for 25 cents, and haul it to Milwaukee with a team,
and kept up a cheerful whistle and raised a InBty boy with a
good appetite. Ah, yea. Luxuries of those days are neces-
sities now. We are fighting the battle of life against greater
odds. Our wants are growing faster than means for sup-
plying them, and we kick the 'big four' the steed, the mar-
ket, and Bcold oar wives because things are awry.

"A good animal, well matured and finished with a sleek
coat, with a good distribution of muscle and fat, will bring
more money, more content, and Bmooth mo:e wrinkles and
Keep back more gray hairs than all the petulant fault-finding
that ever rose to heaven. 'The eye of the master makes the
animal.' Keep the old sayingin mind; bind your fortune to
the Shorthorn. They have had a glorious past: they are
steady in the present, and the future is fall to repletion of
bright promises. It is a popular fallacy that because a pure
bred costs a large Bum that he will fatten on ragweed and
water. Profit comes to no man by shirking responsibility
and labor. Give the animal care, treat him kindly, shelter
him; feed him; then he will grow under the master's eyes and
conform to the measure of an ideal. Out of all of this labor
and love will spring a result that will be a credit and an hon-
or to all these years of line breeding, to the men who have
fashioned the Shorthorn by a long term of study to be a
thing of beauty and a profit forever."

In reply to the questions which were put at the close of
his paper, Mr. Thorn stated that there are probably as many
Shorthorn cows in Wisconsin that are p»yiDg their own-
ers in milk production a>» all other breeds combined. He ex-
plained his method of handling steers when in feediog, which
is to keen them in a hox stall liberally bedded with straw,
leaving the boxes uncleaned until the cattle are turned on
grass or marketed. In response to questions he submitted
figures of the cost of production, showingthat he could make
a pound uf beef by the aid of silage for three cents. A
scattering crosB tire ensued, and Mr. Thom cloBed his con-

tribution to the discussion by declaring that in his opinion
the present outlook for the beef grower was the brightest he
had seen in ten years.

Value of ShorthomB.

W. H. Jacobs, Jr., president of the Wisconsin Shorthorn
Association, said the Shorthorns stood in the front rank in
the march of progress for half a century, and was now firmly
established as the beef breed of America, and also the general
purpose cow. He did not claim that the Shorthorn cow
would equal in accomplishments at the churn or the milk
pail the beBt specimens of the special dairy breeds, but she
would give most excellent results in dairy products, and
produoe a calf each year which would promotly contribute a
good quantity of cheaply-produced beef of the beBt quality
for th* market. "Can beef be produced in Wisconsin for a
profit" was answered in the affirmative bv Dairy Commis-
sioner H C. Thom. To raise beef at a profit requires skill
in breeding and feeding, and good judgment in marketing.
Experience has proved that with well bred beef animals,
properly cared for from the day of their birth unt'l they are
ready for the block, there iB a eood profit for producing beef
in WiBcnnsin at the present prices for a finished article of
beef. The silo comes to the relief of the beef producer nnd
renders profit possible. The beef producers of the northwest
are now in competition with the whole country. Our herds-
men must down this competition with an article of superior
excellence.— O. J. Farmer.

Berkshire Pies the Best in the World-

How many times I have heard visitors at my farm remark,
when looking over the swine, "I don't like those nasty black
pigs," and at the exhibition shows the same remark is often
heard. Probably these people forget for the moment that
color is only skin deep, or rather in this case, it is only a light
coat of bristles deep. They undoubtedly never had any experi-
ence in keeping Berkshires, for if they had such thoughts
would lose themselves, in the many attractive qualities they
would discover in this breed of swine.

In the first place, the Berkshire is one of the oldest breeds
in oxistence. Having been bred so many years, every charac
teristic feature about them has become tho:oaghly established
and any one who is breeding the pure stock is as sure of
every point showing itself in every litter that is farrowed, as
he is that he exists. The Berkshires breed true every time,
and a Bpot or "off" pig is as rare as green peas at Christmas.
One of their strongest features is a disposition to grow from
the start, a' d to take on flesh and fat. "Another very impor-
tant point in any breed of animals is possessed to a mai-ked
degree by the Berkshire, and that is a decided power or con-
stitution to resist diseases of all kinds. When properly fed
and cared for, they are seldom if ever sick, or off their feed,
and while breeders of other varieties arGund me are in con-
stant trouble with a Biuk sow, or weak or ailing litter of pigs,
my herd of Berkshires go right along in perfect health, pro-
ducing big, strong, vigorous litters of pigs, all of which grow
and thrive.

The pure bred Berkshires make the best of mothers, are
very gentle with their young, and have an abnndance of
milk, which continues to flow for a long period when desired.
Having been bred in all climates for so many years, they
withstand the heat of Bummers and the cold of onr long win-
ters, and are but little affected by either. From this fact fall
litters from the Berkshires grow and thrive, while other
breeds become stunted and weak from the cold of approach-
ing winter. This feature alone places them far ahead of all
other breeds. This fact should overcome any prejudice one
has againBt their color, for all breeders want and expect
two litters of pigs a year from their sows, one of which from
necessity must farrow in cold weather, and to have the latter
grow and thrive is absolutely essential to success. This the
Berkshire will do.

Another thing that all careful breeders and farmers try to
do, is to produce the largest and best animal, the most meat,
for the least amount of money expended for feed, and right
here is wherb the Berkshire pig excls all other kinds in the
world. I have bred all of the leading kinds of swine, and
made many careful experiments in feeding the same and not-
ing results, and my experience teaches me that whether I am
after fat, pork, or meat in a herd of pigs or hogs, I can obtain
the same with a herd of Berkshires at thrt-e-quarters the
expense, or less, for feed and half the expense for care and
trouble over any other breed of hogs, and I will not have to
fight disease or sickness in producing the same, and I see no
more objection in the color black in swiue than in any other
animal or fowl. That is why I like the Berkshire pig.— G. L.
Dow, in the Poultry.

Spangled Hamburghs.

There is no more beautiful variety of the domestic fowl
than the Spangled Hamburgh. The clear, rich golden bay
of the Golden variety, and the clear, silvery white of the Sil-
vers, with their respective large round black mooQs or spang-
les, and the small, neat head, with shapely rose comb, offer
a combination which is to be met with in no other breed.
And they have also the merit— in which respeot they are
unlike the Penciled variety, which are purely ornamental —
that they are also economical fowls to keep, for tbey are the
most prolific of all layerB, and with the Black Hamburgh,
easily stand at the head for fecundity. Wereit not that their
eggs are rather small in size, the'- would be far more popular
with those who have to produce for sale, but at present their
eggs are, as a rule, rather below the requirements of the
market. So far as the producer is concerned, they are best
of all, for they are very small eaters, and hence they are most
profitable to keep. By the exercise of a little eare, the size
of the egg could be enlareed, and selection wonld go far to
remedy this one defect. There are some faurlies which lay
larger "eggs than do others, and if attention were given to this
point, it wonld soon be improved.

Spangled or Mooney Hamburghs are really the old Lan-
cashire or Yorkshire pheasant breed, and owe all their per-
fection to the careful way in which tbey have been bred in
these two counties. Long before the era of modern shows,
there were small village exhibitions at which the colliers,
hand-loom weavers, and others of the indnstrial population
coinpet' d with each other's fowls. In those days only the
hens were fhown, for the cock* were regarded as too ugly,
and it was only by the inticluctinn of a cobs between the
Yorkshire and a Mooney cock t hat the gentlemen were made
fit for the show pen. I have already told, but the story will
bear repetition, how it was the custom for the exhibitors to
take their birds under their arms and show them in a room

on a table, eaoh exhibitor arguing for the good points of his
birds, while his rivals pointed out their defects. The judge
stood at one side of the table and heard all that was said
pro and con. for each bird, of which two were on the table at
onetime. The worse of these was taken away, the one left
having to face the next competitor, and so on. That left at
the conclusion of the contest was declared the winner. This
system, which would be utterly impracticable nowaday,
doubtless had much to do with the perfection to which the
breed was brought; for each breeder learned just in what
way his breed was deficient, and he could seek to remedy the
defect. In the show-pen at the present time, in this coun-
try at least, he has usually to be content with the fact that
he is beaten, and must find for himself in what way.

Before giving the standard for this breed as adopted by
the Hamburgh Club, I may be permitted to quote from on
article on the "Matching and Breeding of Spangled Ham>
burghs," published about two years ago from the pen of that
well known breeder and judge Mr. Henry Beldon of Bingley,
Yorks. who haB done more to popularise HamburghB than
any living man, and who may safely be called the father of
the Hamburgh fancy. On this point Mr. Beldon wrote:

"The spangling of this variety is very bold and very rich
in color, the black almost green (the metallic sheen is to be
avoided), broad backs that give plenty of room to show off
the spangling. The combs of these pure Mooneys are often
coarse and the ear lobes reddish, bntto the old fanciers these
W6i« only minor faults, perfection of feather and size of body
being the points sought for. For a further description 6ee
my description in Wright's Poultry Book. In breeding,
therefore, care must be taken to get hold of the proper article
to begin with, and if the amateur has not sufficient knowledge
to start with, to put himself into the hands of some well
known and experienced breeder. These Mooneys, however,
can be recognized by the size of their bodies and richness of
spangling. To breed from, get these large birds with broad
backs, spangle rich and bold and free from pepperiness, neck
well striped up to the head, I prefer a dark bird to one too
light, as the tendency U to breed lighter. Combs are, as a
rule, coarse, and should be selected not too ugly; the cocks
mU3t be hen-feathered and correctly marked, intensely rich
in color; defects of any kind to be avoided, such as hump-
backs, squirrel or wry tail. Ear lobes are of secondary impor-
tance; ot course, it does not follow that all hen-feathered
cocks are the proper thing, as this hen feathering can be
easily got, but a little experienea will suffice for the amateur
to recognize the proper thing.

"For cock breeding another set is required, the cocks be-
ing very profuse and fall in feathering, but the fancy is now
so very far improved that tventnese cocks must be spangled
or marked at the tip of every feather — I can scarely call it
spangling — the elongated nature of the neck hackle, back
and saddle hackle clearly spotted (not cloudy, or brassy, or
brown — great defects. The comb should be long, with plen-
ty of work in it, the ear-lobes round and njt too large, as
these very large lobed birds further develop in their offspring
the white face, which is a grevious fault; besides, these neat-
lobed cocks look better, and we mast never forget that Ham-
burghs are, of all breeds, birds of feather; he should have
nice carriage, carry his tail well, and be free from any marked
defect. Some birds are naturally very tractable, and show
themselves in a pen, and this property is olten hereditary; so
of course, cocks possessing it are much to be preferred. With
such a bird the beginner should have a fair chance of produc-
ing something good; but he must have hens from a reliable
source, as these hens cannot always be distinguished by their
appearance. Care, however, must be taken to have the hens
clearly spangled, with nice carriage and fair size, and with
good, long comb, evenly set on the head, and clear lobes.
Such birds ought to breed well, but experience is the great
teacher. Of course, if you cannot always get perfect birds
in a'l points, care must be taken not to match those with the
same faults. As, for instance, if the male has a short comb
the hens should have long ones; if he is a little light in
markiDg, the hens should be darker, and so on. Once hav-
ing got a 6et of birds that produced good chickfns, to stick
to them, and not be led away by introduoing fresh crosses,
as the work of years may be spoiled by this injudicioas pro-
ceeding."

The following is the standard for Spangled HamburghB
adopted by the Hamburgh Club:

Comb square at front, tapering nicely into a long spike,
full of puiuts (by no means plain), firmly and evenly set on
the head; face red; ears moderate in size, round as possible,
and clear white; legs leaden blue; carii ge graceful, plumage
very profuse. Color — Cocks; Silver spangled, clear silvery
white ground, every feather tipped or spangled, the I rtast
bold as possible, bat showing the sparjgle, the bars of the
wing regular and bold; neck, back and saddle nicely tipped;
bow well marked (by do means cloudy, brown or br*sey),
back as green as possible. Golden Sparjgled — color very
bright and rich, and black glossy green: the neck, back and
saddle nicely striped; bow of wing well marked. Hens: Sil-
ver Spangled — the white clear and silvery; the spangles large,
green as possible, distinct and clear. Golden Spangled—
ground rich, clear spangles, large and distinct.

Goeline— How to Manage Them.

While the gaese are sitting, they should be thoroughly
dusted with dry Sulphur once or twice, to cleanse them from
vermin. After the twenty-eight day the eggs should be put
in milk-warm water a few momeDts each day. This softens
the shell, and enables one to throw away the rotten, aod to
count the goslins before they are hatched. Have the neal
tight, and keep the goslins in over one night after all are ont.
Make a triangular pen with three long boards, where the
grass is short hut fresh aud green, and move to a new place
every day. A shallow diph of water must be placed so they
can get into it, and be re-filled as often as it gets foul. Feod
a little at a time, but often, while they are small, and at the
end of a week they will have gained strength so they may be
turned into their pasture, if sheltered at night. If a gosljn
gets wet so as to look drenched, and it begins to droop, it
must be carried to the fire and dried.

Feel corn meal ground with the cob, mixed into dough,
rather dry, with an occasional sprinkling of salt. Care must
be nsed to tench them to eat regularly. Throw the dough, b
morsel at a time, in the midst of a flock, or the old geese will
get the most of it. The goshuB soon become tame, and will
eat about as long as one will feed them; At the end of the
third wrek feed thom only twice a daj', and after the sixth not
at all, till ready to fatten them for market A little poultry
foid aud cream for a chilled gosliog is about the only remedy
I know of for sick oues, nor do I think they will be often
sick if tbey have good care, and poisonous herbs are kept out
of their ranch. If goslins are taught to eat. then well fe<l,
and kept dry till well feathered, success is almost certain,—

The accuracy observed by writers on turf matters is well
; exemplified by the fact that Western papers tipped Blarney

A large breeding establishment is being organized at Mar-

By the time that this issue of the Breeder and Sportsman

reaohes our readers, the Palo Alto and Hickok siables will have

Snapper Garrison is not as natty appearing these days as
, when he was king of them all. He loiters about the grand-
stand, not having much to say to anyone, and his friends
wonder what has come over him. It is a very fair assump-

that before the season is over he will be seen riding in his old
brilliant form.

Our thanks are due to B. G. Bruce and J. K. Stringfield of
Lexington, Ky., for a neat little book entitled "Thorough-

all spoTting men. The book can be obtained for the small
price of ten cents, and should be in the possession of every
horseman in the country.

Dan McCarty before leaving for the Atlantic States called
on me and Btated that he would have a few good "barjg-tails"
to carry the McCarty colors this season. notwithstanding he

the thoroughbreds each season.

Lee Shaner has a wonderfully large string of horses at the
Petaluma track, several of the number being of the "promis-

race. The stake is said to be $5,000. Cleon is training at
Morristown and Charley Gibbons is being worked by his
owner. There will be a race meet at Waverly Park on May
30 and 31. This race will be the chief feature.

Paramatta, an Australian bred horse, managed to win a
race at Linden Park on Thursday last. A telegram from
New York says that "Paramatta is by Senator Hearst's Che-
viot." He is nothing of the kind; the horse is one of the
Newton importation, and is not by the Cheviot that is in
this country. By the way, I Bhould think that Dr. Ross
was becoming tired of hearing his stallion always spoken of
as Senator Hearst's.

It is a little singular that as late as this in the season not
a solitary new-comer to tbe 2:30 list has been reported. They

I. DeTurk of Santa Rosa was in town several days during
the week and he reports the trotters in his locality as being
ready for tbe fray. Some fifty horses, Dot including those
owned by the Pierce Bros., are being exercised at the track

A. W. Burrell of Petaluma has lately purchased the horse
known as The Asbcat Hambletonian Stallion. He is a dark
bay, with black points, stands 16 hands, and weighs about
1200 pounds. His pedigree, as given, is by Hambletoniau
Jr., dam Topsy by Black Pilot, 2od dam Peggy, a Messenger
mare. Mr. Burrell'B new stallion has fine action, very sty-
lish, and is a beautiful animal. The price given is not
stated.

I wonder if some of the old horsemen of Santa Clara
County can tell me how many "David Hills" have stood in
their neighborhood. It is necessary that a full history of
the David Hills and Black Hawks that have stood in Califor-
nia be published, as many mistakes in pedigrees have al-
ready been made by confounding these horses. I shall be
glad to receive information from any who will tske the troub-
le to forward it.

Harry J. Agnew writes me that he has taken possession of
his new purchase, "The Agnew Stock Farm," and is hard at
work getting things in apple pie order. The large barn,
which has at present twelve single stalls, will be remodeled
and twenty roomy box stalls put up for the accommodation
of the royally bred stock, which will be quartered there.
Mr. Agnew has an experience extending over almost a quar-
ter of a century, and that the new undertaking will prove
successful is the heartfelt wish of many friends.

4 little meal mixed with other feed is especially valuable
in spring for both catlle and horses. It promotes digestion
and helps loosen the old coat of hair, as well as to make the
new one come on glossy and beautiful. It is often said that
fattening food must not be given to horses at work, but oil
meal is strength giving as well as fattening. Mixed with oat
meal it is a better ration than the one commonly given of
corn and oats, but it is not advisable to feed so large a ration
of it as is often given of corn when that is fed with oats.

Last week the Board of Review of the National Trotting
Association met at Chicago and investigated quite a number
of cases among others being the Roy Wilkes affair. It will
be remembered that last season, at Lexington, L. A. Davies,
the owner of Roy Wilkts was fined $1 000 and RobeDs the
driver fined $500. Mr. Davies claimed that the fine was un-
juBt and asked for a review of the case, and he presented a
lot of affidavits in support of his appeal. The board, how-
ever, saw fit to uphold the fine, so Davies will have to pay
$1,000 if he wants to pace his horse again.

J. H. Kock, Secretary of the New York Jockey Club, has
forwarded to this office an elegant programme book contain-
ing a full list of all the fixed events and the entries thereto.
In a short preface we find the following:

It will be the endeavor of the New York Jockey Club to
make Morris Park, in all its details, the most attractive sport-
ing centre of this continent. There is no form of reputable
and popular sport which will not find a home on its grounds.
They will never be closed.

From all sections of the country comes the news that tracks
are bfcing put in condition for the summer campaign. Owing
to the severe winter, many of them will require more than
the usual amount of work, but they will all be in shape be-
fore long. The track at Greenville, Plumas County is being
attended to by W. H. Killeby for Charles H. Lawre'nce, who
will have bis stable ready for exercise in a few days. As
there are many trotters through the Plumas Valleys, the
Greenville track should be weil patronized by the local horse -

"John Thomas," the purchaser of Edwin C, 2:15, came on
from the EiBt during the early part of the week and paid
the balance of the amount due. The fast pacer was at once
shipped by express over the Southern route, and he is now
on his way to his new home. The circumstances attending
the sale of this horse would almost warrant us in the belief
that he is intended for a "ringer" on the other side of the
Rocky Mountains. If any of our Eastern contemporaries
hear of a pacer kicking his driver out of the sulky, then they
will know that Edwin C. has been heard from.

It often happens that full brotbers and sisters to noted
trotters and successful stock horses are very indifferent ani-
mals. Imported Dioined was one of the most distinguished
progenitors of race horses ever brought across the water.
His full brother Admiral, foaled in 1779, was also brought to
this country, but his name is not found in the pedigree of
any distinguished animal, whether racers, trotters or pacers.
Fearnaught (2:23£) was the best son of Young Morrill, by all
odds buth as a frotter and a sire, yet he had several brothers
that were not distinguished either upon the turf or in the
stud.

The attendance at the Petaluma race track two weeks ago,
was rather small when the bell was rang for the race for
named horses, and the sport Dot very exciting as the grey
gelding Chapo, although having but liitle work was too fast
for the balance of his field. The summary was as follows:

"One has to go away from home for news", was never
more aptly illustrated than the following item cut from the
New York son. In speaking of Orrin A. Hickok that paper
says:

"The fastest trotter in his string is the bay stallion Alfred
G , by Anteeo, 2:16}, to whom Hickok gave a record of
2:19& last November in his fonr-year-old form."

The racing reporter of the Sunisonlyona par with the
ordinary, or ratber, I should say the extraordinary reporters
to be found on the daily papers of this city.

The misunderctanding existing between the Montana As-
sociations, has at last been amicably settled and the dates as
now arranged, are as follows:

MiBBonla, July 14, 15, 16, 17. 18, 19.

Deer Lodge, 22, 23. 24, 25, 26.

Anaconda, August 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

Butte, August 12, 13, 14, 15. 16, 18, 19, 20.

Helena, August 23, 25, 2G. 27, 28, 29, S9.

There is no change in the Missoula and Deer Ridge dates.
The Helena visitors to Anaconda speak in highest terms of
the outlook for the unusually successful Beason. All horse-
men ar6 looking forward to a splendid circuit.

Several of the sporting papers of the country have a stand-
ing paragraph in their composition rooms now-a-Jays which
reads as follows: "Andy McCarthy has been Bet down for
the remainder of the season." This item can usually be in-
serted six times a year.

Two colt stakes were lately instituted in Yolo County by
local horsemen, but they did not fill. The two-year-old
stake had one entry, Dixie, by Clay Duke, while the three-
year-old stake bad also one entry, Rilej by Clay Duke. There
can be only one of two reasons for this apathy, first because the
managers did not advertise in the Breeder and Sportsman,
or, the local horse owners are afraid of the Clay Duke's. If
the latter is the cause, then I am pleased for the sake of Mr.
Martin, his owner, as I saw Clay Duke on the circuit last
season and was prepossessed in bis favor. There is a strong
prospect that all of the Aloonas will be heard from during
1890.

There are mony reasons why the spur is preferable to the
whip. In the first place it is far more effectual; it comes
without warning, and the horse cannot watch it, or swerve
from it, as from a whip. In the second place the whip should
be nsed as a guiding monitor rather than an instrument of
punishment, and, for many obvious reasons, the colt is best
not to feel much of it. Thirdly, the spur, though more
dreaded by the colt, inflicts far less pain upon him. The
most superficial spick answers the purpose far better than
anything more, and even the deepest prick that a properly
made Bpur would inflict, would not carry so much future pain
as a whip used hard enough to produce a weal.

Messrs. Page & Aiken, of Newman, Stanislaus County,
have purchased the well known Morgan stallion, Frank Mor-
gan, which has been much admired by the friends of C. W.
Welby, his later owner. Frank Morgan is perhapB the hand-
somest specimen of the Morgan family that ever crossed the
Rocky Mountains, and as his get are all of them beautiful,
showy horses, he should prove a desirable Eire for roadster
and carriage horses. Page & Aiken have a number of well
bred trotting mares which, when crossed with Frank Morgan,
should x>roduce roadsters second to none. Frank Morgan is
by a son of Morgan General Jr., he by Morgan General, he
by Billy Root, he by Sherman, be by Justin Morgan. The
dam is by Romeo, he by Green Mountain, he by Gifford, he
by Woodbury, he by Justin Morgan. The price paid for
tbis horse was S1.500.

Tom Murphy, lately Hickock's atle lieutenant, has located
at the Petaluma track, and starts in with a good string of
horses, among which ar6 A. F. Hatch's Lenmar by Admar
(son of Admiral); M. T. Tarpey's five-year-old mare by An-
teeo, and Wilfred Page's stallion Gran Moro by LeGrand",
dam by The Moor; three-year-old filly Leoline by Clovis (son
of Sultan), dam by Woodford Mambrino; yearling tilly Mor-
trica ty Mortimer, 2:27, dam by Alexander 490. and other
equally well-bred youngsters. As Tom drove Arab. 2:15,
Elector, 2:21}, Conde, 2:20, and other fast ones in their work
on the Petaluma track two years ago in the presence of tbe
Petaluma public, his abilities as a driver and trainer require
no commendation at our hands, and his tuition under the
"prince of conditioners" should certainly make him the peer
of any other trainer in ordering his horses. We bespeak for
Tom a hearty reception.

Some of our trainers are beginning to repeat their horses
already, says the Rushville Graphic. Last year we knew of
several promising colts ruined for all time to come just
because they were repeated tffice a week as fast as the whip
could send them. Some drivers seem to have come to them-
selves aB it were, and learned to harden their horses by short
flights of speed. Some argue tbat if tbe horse has not bis
mettle and endurance tested he is not ready for a race, and
that he must have two repeats a week. It would be a God-
send to all horses as well as trainers, if no visitors were
allowed during "working up" days. Every trainer has a
pride in his "string," and his ability as a driver is being
reviewed. So he is inclined to let his horse go faster and
faster on account of all this as well as to entertain his friends.
In this business as much if not more we need men with strong
minds, quick perception, well-balanced, and those whese
whole soul is in their business.

Every Vermonter knows of the hoTse, Ethan Allen, says
Vision in Wallace's Monthly, and could give a very intelli-
gent account of his history, and at least one version of his
pedigree, but not one in a hundred knows anything about
the famous general of the Revolutionary War, that died and
was buried at Burlington in 17S9, and for whom, sixty years
later, the horse was named. Whatever the connection, it is
practically impossible for a resident of the Green Mountain
State to have any conception of this name except as belong-
ing solely to tbe horse. The grave of the famous general is
in a very sightly and beautiful spot, and the monument is
surmounted by an excellent life size statue, which strongly
shows the characteristics of a great general. One 4th of July
many persons were standing around his grave, when a man
from the rural districts rather astonished the others by ex-
claiming, "Well, I never did see old Ethan, but I have seen
lots of his colts "

There are qui'e a number of my readers who imagine that
all of Theo Winters thoroughbreds are in the East prepara-
tory to undergoing a severe contest for supremacy as between
the Eastern and Califoinian horses, but in addition to those
owned by Mr. Winter's on the other Bide of the Rocky Moan-
tains, he also has in training at the Reno track a small con-
tigent which although few in numbers are able to cope with
any now on this coast. There is a slight possibility that the
stable's colors will be seen on tbe California tracks during the
circuit, but the horses now in training in the adjoining Stale
will surely be seen at the meetings held across the divide.
An occasional correspondent sendB me a list of those now
going through their preparations, and also states that Maurice
Peppers has charge of the striug. Maurice has had lots of
experience in this sort of work, and should be able to bring
his charges to the postfit to run agaicst any thoroughbreds
in the land.

Chau. Haskill is o representative of the well known Nor-
folk family, being by that great horse, dam Addie O'Neil by
Leinster.

The next is a four-year-old gelding, Leh, by Joe Hooker,
dam Illusion. Princess Norfolk is a fonr-year-old filly by
the Duke of tbe snme name.

One of the promieiog ones and oue which was originally
intended for Eastern campaign work is Black Bart, a son of
Three Cheers, while another of the two-year-old lot is tho
filly Blizzard by Blazes. Io addition to the above there are
several trotters being speeded at the Reno track, and every-
thing looks prosperous for a splendid season of sport in
Nevada this year.

The Story of John Nelson.

In another column of this week's issue will be found
an article on "John Nelson Again" which was copied in
the current number of "Wallace's Monthly, and taken
from the Newark (New Jersey) Sunday Call. The fol-
lowing foot-note is also given under the Call article,
which, as it is signed "Editor," is supposed to emanate
from the pen of Jno. H. "Wallace. While we are willing
to concede that Bro. Wallace has done more for the trotting
horse interests of the United Slates than any other one
man in them, still he has a nack of sticking to a point
after he has made an assertion, tbat becomes annoying,
especially when his readers know that he is mistaken.
The foot note is as follows:

[Note. — The above agrees substantially with what we have
hitherto bad about John Nelson, but it does not add much
light as to what horse was bis sire. Though the presumption
is that he was bred by Mr. Thomas Evans of New Brunswick,
that fact is not established beyond donbt. If there be uncer-
tainty as to the breeder, there must certainly be uncertainty
as to the sire. The only evidence which will put the matter
beyond doubt are the books of imp. Trustee. — Editor ]

The first time we find the name of John Nelson men-
tioned iu any of the registers is in Yol. IY., wherein it
states: "John Nelson 187, ch h foaled 1851, got by a son
of imp. Trustee, dam the Redmond mare by Abdallah 1;
bred on Long Island; taken to California." Now in the
editorial note we find that full concurrence is given to
the pedigree as stated by the writer in the Sunday Call,
and Mr. "Wallace even uses the words: "The above agrees
substantially with what we have hitherto had about
John Nelson." Now if such really is the case, and Mr.
Wallace has had the same information before, why is it
that even as late as the Year Book, published presumably
about the 15th of last month, we still find "John Nelson
187, ch h foaled 185 1, got by a son of imp. Trustee, dam
the Redmond mare by Abdallah 1; bred on Long Island;
taken to California; died 1871." If Mr. Wallace has
had any doubts in his own mind as to the breeding of
John Nelson, why is it that he still claims the sire as
being a son of imp. Trustee and not by Trustee himself;
he still sticks to the Redmond mare, and yet confesses in
the editorial note that his previous information was that
the dam of John Nelson was by one of the Morgan
horses; but the more particular point which we wish to
clairu is, that it is extremely doubtful whether anyone
can positively tell John Nelson's breeding. Some one
must evidently have shown Mr. Wallace pretty con-
clusive proofs that be was by a son of imp. Trustee, or
the horse would not have been originally registered in
that way. And again, Mr. "Wallace has in the Year
Book, "Died in 1871," whereas, we know positively that
the horse was alive in 1876, and for some time Mr. Wal-
lace has refused to register mares which were foaled after
1872. It is only a short time ago that Mr. Shippee, of
Stockton, wished to register some John Nelson mares,
but Mr. "Wallace refused on the grounds that he had
information showing that John Nelson died in 1871.
When the answer to Mr. Shippee's application was shown
in and around Stockton, it caused many of the old horse-
men to smile, because it is a well known fact in that city
that John Nelson stood there in the Centennial year
under the management of Mr. Potter; it was sometime
after that before the horse was sold to Messrs. Miller &
Lux, and we are only awaiting answers to inquiries sent
out to prove positively when the old horse did die.

This is written more to show that the history of John
Nelson is somewhat clouded as far as Eastern writers are
concerned, When the horse was bought by the Califor-
nia parties alluded to, a certificate of his breeding was
given by Mr. Horace F. Jones, which read as follows.
"John Nelson is by imp Trustee, out of the Redmond
mare (who trotted in 3:35), by Abdallah, be by Mambri-
no, and he by imp Messenger." That certificate was
seen by scores of persons now alive, and the first adver-
tisement that was written for the horse in this State was
written by a gentleman who had that certificate in front
of him as he wrote the advertisement. The owner of
John Nelson was Mr. Edwin M. Pitcher, a dairyman
who lived on the old Auburn road, a few miles out of
Sacramento. Mr. Pitcher was an honest man, respected
by all who knew him, and it is unnecessary at this late
day to state that he was not a man who would have
given a false pedigree to any horse. Black Hawks and
Morgans were then thought a great deal more of than
any other strains of blood here in California. The Ab-
dallah and Hambletoniau fever had not set in. Abdal-
lah was, comparatively speaking, an unknown quantity;
therefore, if a false pedigree had been given, a much bet-
ter one could have been advertised than the one that
was originally written by Mr. Merry. It is extremely
to be regretted that the correct pedigree of John Nelson
cannot be obtained, for he has left in this State a name
that will endure for many generations. The name of
John Nelson, when it occurs in any pedigree, is ample
assurance to the horsemen of California that stamina
and endurance are part of the composite parts of the an-

imal under consideration. Mr. Wallace finishes up his
editorial note very well by saying. "The only evidence
which will put the matter beyond doubt is the books of
imp Trustee."

The Fresno Fall Meeting.

The Directors of Agricultural District No. 21, located
at Fresno, present their annual fall programme to our
readers this weefe, or at least such part of it as requires
early entries. As usual the purses are large, and as Mr.
Baldwin, the Secretary, states in a letter: "There are no
strings to any of them." This Association has seen fit
for some time to throw their purses open to all.and district
stakes are relegated to other associations. From the incep-
tion of this organization, the policy of the Directors has
been to do all that could be done for horsemen in the
State, feeling assured that they would receive a generous
support from those who own horses in training, and con
sequently would ieceive a liberal return from the public
at the gate, who are always desirous of seeing the best
contests possible.

Among the guaranteed purpes which the Association
offers this year is one of a 81,000 for the 2:24 class, the
entrance fee being S 100, of which §25 is payable May
15th, $25 payable July 15th and f 50 payable August
11th, when horses are to be named.

The second is a guaranteed purse of 51,200 for the 2:20
class, 10 per cent entrance payable, $30 on May 15th,
$30 on July loth and the balance, $60 on August 11th,
when horses are to be named.

The third is a nomination guaranteed purse of $1,000
for the 2:30 pacing class, with $1000 entrance, S25 paya-
ble May 15th. $25 on July 15th and $50 August 11th
when horses are to be named.

In all the above purses, if the entrance money amounts
to more than the $1,000 guaranteed by the Association, it
will be added to the purse, and the Directors in addition
will also add a bonus of 20 per cent of the amount of the
purse.

The thoroughbreds are also taken good care of as we
find in the announcement, the President stake with ft
guarantee of $1000 for all ages, weight for age, one and
three-eights of a mile dash, $100 entrance, $10 payable
May 15th, $15 on June 12th, $25 payable July 15th and
$50 payable September 6th.

The second guaranteed purse for the runners is called
the Raisin Handicap of 61,000 for all ages, a dash of one
mile and a quarter. The entrance money and the pay-
ments are the same as the President Stakes. Weights
for the handicap will be announced on August 15th,
through the columns of the Breeder and Sportsman.

The two running races have the same additions an-
nexed to them as have the pacing and trotting races. If
the entrance money amounts to more than $1,000, it will
be added to the purse and the Association will still fur-
ther add 20 per cent, of the amount of the purse.

The programme with all the conditions will be found
in the appropriate column and we would urge all owners
who have horses that are eligible for any of these races,
to enter, as Fresno is noted for its well finished track,
splendid stabling, magnificent climate and the hospita-
ble character of its inhabitants. Those who attended
the fall meeting at that point last year, are all loud in
their praises of the management and as Mr. Baldwin
has had many ypars of experience be understands fully
the wants of horsemen and is always willing to do what-
ever lies in his power for the comfort of their horses and
themselves. We fully expect that Fresno will have an
entry list second to none, and as the number of entries
asked for is in accordance with the American Assoc ia<
tion's rules, they are all bound to fill.

Golden Gate Association-

One of the most prosperous Agricultural Associations
within the confines of this State is the one called Golden
Gate No. 1. The Directors are all well known horse-
men and they are ever ready to accept any suggestions
which will add to the pleasure of their meetings. For
the jpresent season they have adopted the nomination
purses which are now so general throughout the East
and have also offered two guaranteed purses for the
slower classes in addition to a stake which they call
'The New List." Seeing the success of the Breeder
and Sportsman Futurity Stake, they have taken time
by the forelock, as it is the first association in California
to offer a large guaranteed purse for foals of 1800; the
race to be trotted at the fall meeting of 1893. The sub-
scriptions to each of the purses offered are on the install-
ment plan, so that the payments are easy which enables
those who are not over and above well-to-do, a chaoce to
enter iu one or more of the stakes. The entries for the
races already advertised close on May 15th, so that those
who are desirous of making entries should read the an-
nouncement at once and not defer it until too late.

The first event in the programme is called "The New
List" purse of $1000 for three-year-olds whose sires up

1890

<gto gmfler attd jl puvtemm.

419

to January 1, 1S00, have not produced an animal with a
record of 2;30 or better at three years of age or under.
The entrance fee is 10 per cent., payable $25 on May
15th when entries will close in the name of owners or
trainers; $25 is payable on June 15th, $25 on July 15th,
$25 five days before the first advertised day of the meet-
ing. When the last payment is made, horsas must be
named.

The second is a guaranteed purse of SI 200 for the
three-minute class, entrauce 10 per cent., payable $30
on May 15th, $30 on June loth, S30 July loth, and $30
five days before the first advertised day of the meeting at
which time horses must be named.

A guaranteed purse of $1200 is also offered for the 2.40
class, entrance 10 per cent, of which $30 is payable when
the entries close, May 15th, $30 on June 15th, $30 on
July 15th and $30 five days before the first advertised
day of meeting.

A guaranteed Futurity Purse of $4000 is also offered,

in such small installments that any one can afford to
enter foals of the present year; entries also close en May
15th for this Futurity Purse, at which time $10 must ac-
company the entry, $10 on January 15, 1891, $15 on

a last payment of $20 fifteen days before the advertised
day of the race. If the last payment is made on twelve
or more entries, the horses shall be started in trial races
in which not more than eleven nor less than sis shall be
allotted to start; the trial races shall be mile heats, three
in five, for a purse of $1000, given by the Association
for each race. If two trial races are trotted, the first four
horses shall only be entitled to start in the final race; if
three such trial races are trotted, only the first three
horses in each trial race shall start in the final; and if

horses in each trial race shall start in the final race.
These trial races must be trotted not less than five nor
more than ten days previous to the day set for the final
race, and if possible all trial races will be trotted on the

• same day. "We have no doubt from the success of the

• Breeder axd Sportsman Futurity Stake that this one
will also receive a generous support from the horsemen
of California. The race will be trotted in the same year

, as the Breeder a>t> Sportsman Futurity Stake, and
therefore tha champion three-year-old of 1893 should be
able to win for his owner many thousands of dollars.

Remember entries for all these races close, as stated
before, on May 15th, and we therefore urge our readers
to carefully scan the advertisement in the appropriate

Races at Los Alamos.

The raceB at Los A.Ianio3 on 1st of May were intereresting,
and they gave universal satisfaction. The judges were
anxious to give all their dues, and each race was watched
closely by them. The first race was the3;00 clasB, mile heats
2 in 3.

Harry held the inside, Neva second and Don EimoD out-
side. The horses behaved well and were sent away to a
splendid start. Don Rimon took the lead immediately, and
was never headed. He won handily in 3:07. Harry 2nd,
Neva 3rd.

In the secDnd heat Don Ramon acted badly, he being raDk,
and wanted to ruo, bat the three horses were soon started.
Harry aod Dim Ramon trottiog together till they reached the
half. Dan R*mon broke and Harry g?t a lead of five lengths,
baton the homestretch Don Ramon trotted fast and over-
took Harry, and both horses pissed under the wire together.
It was declared a dead heat, time 3.02.

Third heat was a walk-over for Don Bamoo, who immedi-
ately took the lead, and was never headed. He won handily
in 3:07.

Three borBes came to face the starter in this race. There
was lively betting on this event, Arab being the favorite,
with Mercedes and Sportime in the Held . The horses were
booh started; Mercedes had the rail, Arab 2nd, Sportime 3rd.

The horses ran all together around the tarn. Wheu they
straightened oat Sportime fell behind and Arab and Mercedes
made a driving finish, the mare Mercedes winning by half a
length in 53 seconds. Although the mare won, Arab was
still the favorite and when they were called ont to run the
nest heat Arab looked still a winner. As the trio were quiet,
• the starter had no difficulty in getting them off to a good
start. From the beginning Arab and Mercedes ran close to-
gether. A large blanket would have covered both all the
way around. A hard finish again, and the mare won the
' heat and race, the talent getting left.

The Last Day at Sacramento.

The attendance at the Sacramento track on Saturday of
last week, was in no wise larger than the average of the pre-
ceding days and it seems a shame that the residents of the
Capital City should have neglected to patroniza the sport so
generously offered by the Directors of the State Agricultural
Society. A better programme was never arranged, the horses
were known to be the eqnal of any that California has ever
produced. The purses were large yet still tbe public would
not attend; we are pleased to say, however, that the Directors
do not feel dishearteted bv their lack of support but will
Continue in their good work and next spring another running
meeting be given, in hope that the public may gradually be-
come educated to the sport of the kings.

The weather was all that could be desired and the racing
equal to any seen during the week. The CrBt race on the
card waB the Golden Eagle Hotel Handicap for two-year olds,
the only two coming to the wire being Col. Harry I. Thorn-
ton's ch c Arcane and J. E. Smith's eh c Bon Ton. Whether
the name of Smith's was a fictitious one or not we do not
know, but the colt has been trained in a stable that has a
rather unsavory reputation, in fact the owner or at least the
Drincipal owner was expelled only last year from the Fresno
course, and so stands to-day. Owing to the remarkable and
peculiar bettiDg indulged in by those who were eager to place
their money on the winner, suspicion was aroused that the
race was not to be run on the merits cf the horses alone, and
therefore the judges took a hand in the matter and made
diligent inquiry as to the suspicious circumstances that had
caused the betting to change so materially. When the pools
first opened Bon Ton was the favorite at S20to$14for his
opponent but gradually it got down to even money, and final-
ly changed to $20 for Arcade and $13 for Bon Ton, the pools
selling like hot cakes. After the judges had taken the mat-
ter under consideration for s< me time, LawlesB, the jockey,
who was on Bon Ton was taktn down and Joe Narvaez se-
lected to fill bis place. Joe cantered Bon Ton up and down
for some time and finally gave it as his opinion that the colt
was "stuffed." At this point the judges who were'Messrs.
La Rue, Greene and Cox announced that they would defer
the running of the initial event until later on in the afternoon
to give Ban Ton a more equal chance. The colt was turned
over to Henry Walsh, trainer of the Palo AUo stable, who
watched hiB charge carefully until the time came for the race
to start.

In the meanwhile the second event on the card, the Hope-
ful Handicap for all ages, was called. Four horses faced the
starter, the favorite being Pliny who sold in the books at 2
to 5. Longshot 2£ to 1, Sheridan 4 to 1 and Oro 6 to 1. After
quite'a number of false starts the field was sent away to a
straggling start with the favorite the last of the quartette. W.
H. E Smith's new purchase, Longshot, took the lead at once
with Oro a good second and in these positions they passed
under the wire the first time; at the quarter Longshot was
still leading with the others well bunched close up; the same
relative positions were maintained to the half where Oro fell
baca: behind his field, Sheridan and Pliny improving their
positions just a trifle, Longshot still leading around the turn
and into the homestretch, Pliny having his nose almost even
with Longshot as they turned into the straight to come home.
CaBey, ?he jockey, on Pliny here p'ied the bat at a vigorous
rate and ultimately showed in front but for a moment only,
as Longshot was given his head and he came away winning
easily by two lengths, Pliny second, Sheridan third and Oro
beaten off.

SUMMARY.

The Hopeful Hindicap.— A sweepstakes for all ages of $25 each, S15

The California Derby, which earlier in the season promised
to prove one of the most interesting races of the meeting,
was bereft of the semblance of a contest, as tbe only horse
that came to the post was Uinta, the Palo Alto 6ily, the well
known Racine being allowed to stay in the stable, so hie com-
panion had a walk over,

The third race of the day was the Handicap for all ages,
and it proved the biggest betting race of the day, Guido being
installed favorite in the pools, he selling at $25, Ida Glenn at
$15 and the field $11. Again there was some little delay, as
at least a half dozen scores were made before the flag fell;
when Starter Coombs sent them off, the favorite and Kildare
started off to make the running, leading the balance of the
ruck by two lengths. The same positions were kept up until
the homestretch was reached, where Kildare fell back a little
and Jackson took second place, the heat resulting in favor of
Guido by a length, Jackson being second aod Kildare
third. For the second heat pools sold, Guido $25, field $14.
Again the starter had a great deal of trouble in getting the
horses away, as each of the jockeys seemed determined to de-
lay the otherB and prevent an equitable send off. After an
hour bad been consumed in this unsatisfactory manner the
Hag fell, with Guido leading. Casey, the jockey, who, by the
way, has stamped himself as a long-headed rider, again made
the running with bis mount and was never headed. Com-
ing down the stretch Louisa M gave him a little brush, but
the filly was not equal to the task and Guido won by a neck,
Jackson being third.

Subscriber.

I have a valuable animal that strained a tendon on his
front leg; the tendon is enlarged and he cannot walk on the
leg at all. Please prescribe for the same through the columns
of yonr valuable paper and oblige.

Answer. — I would advise you to foment with warm water,
three or four daily until suob time as the heat and pain are
removed; then apply a strong blister, once or twice, and give
some three months' rest. In the meanwhile, I would keep
au eye on the sound leg and keep it cool with cold water
bandages, as it will no doubt swell with tbe undue pressure
placed upon it while the affected limb remains painful. Ad-
minister a dose of catbarlic medicine, and feed on a low diet,

Thoroughbred in the Trotter.

Much discussion has been goiDg on in horse papers, the
past year or two, respecting the value of thorough blood in
the trotter, without any apparent conversion or argument
between the parties starting out with opposite views, writes
Ii. Farnham in the Horse and Stable. The reading public
have been somewhat instructed by these discussions, but are
still at sea as to the real merits of the question.

It is a matter of considerable importance to the extensive
breeding interests of this country, whether the union of
thorough blood with trotting blood is beneficial to the latter
or not; and, as it is a matter of fact determined by experi-
ment, it seems to me that a summing up of the results already
obtained should settle the question with approximate correct-
ness. Men do not differ essentially upon the relative value
of other straios of blood wh^n properly united with Hamble-
tonian— Ihe great trottirg blood of tbe land.

Is there any more evidence to Bhow the effect of Mambriro
Patchen, American Star, Pilot Jr., Black Hawk or Clay blood
tban there is to show the effect of thoroughbred blood. I
cannot avoid the feeling tbat many writers upon the Bnbject
exhibit more or less prejudice according to the side of tbe
house they occupy. One writer says: "If a little thorough
blood is good, a good deal is better." If then, a little Clay
or Black Hawk is good with HambletoniaD, why is not 100
per cent, of it better?

If 50 per cent, of the ass is good to cross with the horse,
why isn't the pure blood of either better than the combina-
tion?

The logio does not hold. Every one conversant with the
borse history knowB tbat the highest types of the horse have
been produced by the jodicious crossing of entirely distinct
families' tbe idea being to so cros3 them that whatever defi-
ciencies exist on one side will be made np on the other, with-
out a corresponding loss on other points.

The objection made to thoroughbred is that it lessens the
instinct to trot. This is logically and Drobably in fact true;
but does not the infusion of 15 or 25 percent, of it add
enough of nerve force and organic quality to more than bal-
ance the damage to trotting in&tinot?

Let us see i£ there is any evidence to support the presump-
tion.

The fastest record by any trotttr is the 2:081 of MaudS.;
second fastest 2:10, by Jay-Eye Ste; and third 2:10J, by Sun-
ol. The fastest five heats in a race was by Oliver K. °-l5}
2:15,}. 2.101. 2:16}, and 2:18; the fastest twenty mile'heat
was 58 25, by Sovereign: tbe fastest 50 miles 4:55 40* by
And, and the fastest 100 miles 8.56.01, by Conqueror. "

A daughter of tbe thoroughbred Boston produced Maud S.
A daughter of Lexington, son of Boston, produced Jay. Eye-
See, and he wa6 ulso the sire of the grandam oi Sunol. Oli-

ver K's dam was by a son of Lexington. I am quite certain
that Sovereign and Ariel were strongly tinctured with thor-
oughbred, and tbe great Conqueror was by Bellfounder. The
blood of Duroc is in Dexter 2:17}, and Phallis 2:13$. A
daughter of Lexington produced Clingstone 2:14, and a son
of Wagoner got the dam of FanDy Witherspoon 2;16£. So
we might go on.

Now are these facts mere incidents and valueless in deter-
mining the importance of thorough blood iu tbe trotter? If so,
will some disbeliever in thorough blood explain how so many"of
tbe greatest feats on record have been performed by horses
burdened with 10 to 25 per cent, of it or more, while those
with less have not got there so soon? 1 will ask him also to
explain the probable effect of the 25 per cent, of the blood of
Bellfounder on the greateFt speed progenitor that ever lived
— Rysdyk's Hambletonian,

I lay no claims whatever to being an expounder of the
principles of horse breeding, but claim to be able to discrim-
inate between a one-f-ided argument and one aiming at facts.
I would like to see this article criricised, if the ideas it con-
tains are not well grounded, for I em willing to learn the
facts and not persist in being the servant of prejudice.

Manaerem^nt of Stallions.

The entire hor^e in common witb all male animals, during
the act of copulation, iojects into tbe female whai is com-
monly called tbe seed. If a drop of tbis seed is examined
under the microscope, it will be found to contain a number
of living bodieB as evidenced by their ability to move. They
have oval shaped heads and many thread-like tails. Iu
order that the coming together of the stallion and mare may
bear fruit, it is essential that some of these bodies come in
contact with the egg— ovum of the mare, in some portion of
the womb, otherwise the egg perishes after a time. The
wavy, thread-like tails endow these bodies (spermalozoa) with
powers of locomotion, so that on being injected, into the pas-
sage of the mare (vagina) at cjpulaiion, they by degree work
themselves into all parts of the womb, and thus come in con-
tact with the ovum of the female.

It is through the medium of theEe minute fertilizing bodies
that the qualities and cha aterislics of ibe s-ir jaretransmit ed
to the progeny. Although the general characteristics of the
progeny may not be affectei by the vigor, or lack of vigor, of
the sire at the time of, and shortly prior to copulation, still
the strength and vital power of the foal, bo essential to tide
it over that critical portion of its life — the first few weeks —
and enable it to grow, thrive, and strengthen into an animal
possessed of constitutional vig r and stamina, depends on
the condition of the sire. Taking a shorter sighted view of
the matter, and considering the ability of a siie to get mares
in foal, and to maintain his health and strength, during the
seaEon in which there is suoh a drain upon his vital powers,
it is absolutely essential that he should commence the season
in good condition.

We very frequently hear the statement made that such
and such stallions are overfed. This, in the majority of in-
stances, is incorrect. We cannot, if we feed rationally, or
afford ail the nutritious matter tbat the system can properly
assimilaie, over-feed a stallion about to commence, or during
the season, but we can very easily under-exercise and im-
pair an animal's assimilative power thereby.

A horse is an actively constituted animal, and yon cannot
produce condition, in the true sense of the word, without
sufficient amount of exercise. Condition does not simply
mean the presentation of a good appearance, but it sign ties
the ability to do work and maintain health. Tbe two latter
abilities cannot be possessed without liberal feeling and
plentyof exercise. Good condition require time to produce.
The work of conditioning ought to begin fully two months
before the season. The daily exercise and quantity of food
should be increased in like ratio; until five miles a day is giv-
en a draught, and eight or ten a light horso.

A great invigorator of the horse is rubbing, nothing next to
good feeding gives him more vim. A plentiful supply of
good, dear, cotton rubbers should be on hand, and the horse
should be vigorously rubbed after his exercise, until he is
perfectly dry. Groom while the circulation of the skin is
active, as after exercise is far more beneficial than at any
other time. Have nothing to do with drugs or nostrum, for
they do more harm than good if the animal is well, and if
sick they should only be used under the guidance of one who
understands their action, and the nature of the malady to be
cured. Drugs are in no way essential; in fact they are detri-
mental to the process of conditioning.

It is advisable that the season should begin early and ex-
tend over as long a period as possible, so that at no time tbe
stallion's powers shall be unduly taxed. If it is possible to
procure the services of a few mares before the enervating
effects of the very warm weather come on, so much the bet-
ter, as the animals powers are gradually stimulated and
strengthened thereby.

The death rate amongst heavy stallions duriDg the season
is much higher than it need be, which is largely the result of
abruptly puttiDg horses into the trying ordeal of heavy ser-
vice and constant excitement, without building up tbe sys-
tem in tbe manner indicated. Breeders blame stallion own-
ers for having their horses abnormally fat, and consequently
lacking in vigor necessary to get good, strong colts. Few,
however, have the courage or judgment to allow the animal
that lcoks like a Btall-fed ox to pass by, and select one that
does not r» quire to be patched up with adipose tissue to con-
ceal bis defects.

Many flat-sided, long-backed, slack-loined horses are receiv-
ing patronage on account of their defects being considerably
masked by layers of fat and flabby muscle. — F. C. Grenside,
V. S., in Canadian Live Stock and Farm Journal,

mire it. It was a beautiful picture of confidence between
man and beast. She knew Charlie well and had no fears for
her youngster, but let anyone else go near her and a pair of
twingling heels warned him to keep his distance."

BILLIARDS.

Jealous Mothers.

Will Goober says: "Some mares, particularly those of
sensitive organizations, are excessively jealous of their off-
spring. Goldsmith Maid was one of that kind. It is re-
lated of her that when ber first foul was brought forth she
would allow no one to come uear it. One day Charlie, ber old
attendant when she was in Budd Doble's stable, visited Fash-
ion Farm. Charlie and tbe Maid were once firm friends,
and to test tbe endurance of that friendship Charley con-
cealed himself near the doughty old mare and allowed ber
to hear his voice. The Maid waB browsing in a paddock
with her colt by ber side. On bearing Charity's vice she
raised her head, gave a whimmy of delight, and with tbat
bold, free, sweeping stride that iu years gone by elect! ified
thousands dashed about the paddock in search of ber old
friend. When Charley appeared she went to the fence over
which be leaned, and showed her joy in every action. Not
only did she we'eome him, but invited bim to fondle her
baby. Konnd about the two she circled, uttering a low
whimmy which expressed a mother's pride and love. She
pushed the colt up to Charley, smoothing its coat with her
tongue, aud asked him in tbe plainest horse language to ad- |

Mrs. Langtry is very fond o£ billiards, and wieids the cue
cleverly.

PATTl's BILLIARD PLATING.

"Why," said Mr. Williams, matager for tbe Brunswick
Balfce, Collender Co., I know some women who are fairly
crazy about tbe game. Take for instance Mme. Patti, the
noted songstress. She IB what you wonld call a "crank" on
tbe game. She plays a pretty stiff game, too. How it is she
became interested in tho pastime I do not know, but I do
know that I have never yet seen a man or woman -who equals
her in enthusiasm. You know that when in this city she
slops at tbe Palace Hotel. Well, I remember a few years ago
when she was here, she sent an order for a table. "Mr. Wil-
liams picked the handsomest he bad in tbe bouse and sent
it to the hotel, where it was put up in her private onrlor-
there, every afternoon and at night, after performances, Bhe
and Sig Nicolini played. Slosson is a great favorite with ber
and under his instruction she has made rapid progress. She
is a poor loser, though, aid I just tell you it's fun to see her
when she makes a mis cue or fails to effect a carrom; then
she bcowIs and stamps her pretty little foot and does not
regain her usual frame of mind until an easy Bhot is offered
her, then she is happy, and ticks off point after point in great
style. Why, do yon know she is so much in love -with bil-
liards, that a coup'e of years ago she invited SlosBon to go
over to her castle in Wales so that she could see him play
Her billiard rDom there is a grand one. The Palace is called
Craig-y-Nos, aud she has spent a fortune on it, but Bhe spent
more on the billiard parlor than on any other room.

Mme. Patti and Sig. Nicolini occupied a box at the Metropo-
litan Opera House dniing the late Billiard Tournament in
New York.

The coming Schaefer— McCleery Billiard match is much
discussed in tbe different Billiard Booms and there is con-
siderable speculation as to the outcome. Prof. McCleery is
practicing daily and is getting himself in excellent trim, dur-
ing the week in the presence of a large number of spectators
be made runs of 1016, 1000, 602, 478 and several runs of over
200. In making the above runs he made several difficult
Masse shots which were loudly applauded. The above run
of 1016 was made on a small wager, McCleery belting an out- !
aider that be would make a run of 1000 before Mr. Merrifield,
who is a good amateur player, wonld make a total of lOo! i
He made 94 -when McCleery made the required run.

Schaefer was in KansaB City when last beard from giving !
exhibitions with Frank Ives. He is expected here some time I
next week.

Additional Rod and Gun.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Fish Commission
last Tuesday afterncon, Superintendent o! Hatcheries, J. G.
Woodbury, rep-rted tbat since the last meeting of the Board
be bad visited Sisson and found tbe 400,000 young salmon
in good order. Over 1,200.000 trout eggs bad teen taken at
Shovel Creek. Tbe North Pacib'c Grove and Fish Club had
agreed to receive 100.000 trout eggs from this place and
batch them out at Glen Ellen for tbe purpose of distributing
the young trout in Sonoma Creek and Russian Eiver and
its branches without cost to the Commission.

Mr. Knox and Mr. Green have also arranged to take 50,000
eyed trout eggs from Shovel Creek which will be 6ent to tbe
Los Gatrs creek hatchery. The young trout from these eggs
will be distributed in Los Gatos Creek at its head waters and
Sari Lorenzo Creek.

Alexander Badlam's hatchery near Monnt St. Helena, will
also receive 50,000 eggs from Shovel Creek, to be shipped tbis
week from Sisson.

The Eastern front will le shipped to McCloud as soon as |
the roads are opened to that point, and like shipments will al-
so be made to tbe west fork of the Sacramento, Shasta, Big |
Springs in Siskiyou Co., and Senator Stanford's Vina Earn* :
as soon as circumstances permit.

Chief of Patrol F. B. Collundan reported the results of bis !
labors during tbe month. Lack of court jurisdiction had ac- '
quitted You Ching, charged with fishing within the five mite J
limit.

Tbe Fishermen's Union of Benicia sent a reanest tbat
deputy Fish commissioner be appointed from ths citizens of !
tbat vicinity.

License collector J. F. Curley reported tbat he had collec-
ted §1100 since Apiil 1st. Owing to the fishermen's strike |
along tbe Sacramento river collections were smaller than ex-
pected.

JOAN1TO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1885. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almoot Pntcben
at tbe same age Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every Indication of great
speed, and is so gentle nnd kind, tbnta lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling blm is
that business nils him away from Ihls section of
ilii' siii.'. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This i- a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure n first-class trotter at a very low figure.

MEMO Is, as can be seen at a glance, one of the best bred young stallions in service, having three
crosses of Rvsdrk's Hamblftoniau and one of Harry Clav, the sire of Gre«n Mountain Maid (dam of Elec-
tioneer, etc.), while Long lsl nd Black Hawk and Flaxtail also contribute to his blood. Sidney (Memo's
sire) is universally known as the best young nire in the world, a producer of extreme speed at an early ace.

PERFORMANCES. b

MEMO trotted in public in his two year-oil form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he waB cIobc to
Grandee in a nee on the Bay D'strict Track, the second heat of which was m*de in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2 3/.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little quest on tha he would h-ive shown in public very close to tie best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20- 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

As a foaryear-oid Memoon'y sarted once -at Sacramento when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, gre t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C,T. H. B. A. meeting, but after showing severa1 very fast miies bis leg filled and tte was luid up for
theseiBon. He iti sixt"eu hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His col .r is a flossy black, with
bo*h fore-feet white. His disposition i* all that con la be desired, and his action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mure being report d not in foal during his last season,

TERM.s, ?ro, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th,
when he will be prepared for track purposes, lastirage $5 per month. Have leased the cricket ground
adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is fine feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. Best
of care taken of mares i<i any manner owners may desire, but positively no responsibility assumed for acci-
dentB or escapes. For further particulars addreBS

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight miles southeast of 0«
land- The stables are about one mile east of the county road, which runs between Oakland and San I
dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed. Guide boar
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads aie very good, and they are fairly gw
after the unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent from san Francisco may he bruugntover by G^rcia's Express, No. 3 Market street, Ri
Francisco. They alBo have an order box outside of hawley Bms.' Hardware house on the corner .if Mark
and Beale streets. The express leavps fan Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at 1:3', bnlij*
orders should be m the order box at Market and Beale streets hv 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 Mart
street, bv 11 o'clock at the latest In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the Souther Farm wl
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A Binall ciarge will li
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

ll-.rs.'y are very easily takeu irom Oakland to the (arm, and where it is inconvenient for owners
bring them or send them, the farm will send after anything that is to come. On horses that stay thr
months or oyer there is no charge for gettiug or celivenng. Where a horse etayB a short time the actii
time and expense only is charged to him.

Horses can be shipped I'y rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always nidify til
Fann aev ral days before shipping anytbii g, and then men will be on hand to receive sto^k on arrival T
railroad station is but two miles from the Sunther Farm, and the agent invariably gives immediate uotli
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the above farm, but when word is Bent to the farm in good
by 1-tter or telegram, the animals sent are saved wailing a couple ot hours in the car.

P ssenger triins leave s%n Francisco (from the broad gaug.} ferry) and First and Broadway, OakUn
at 'requent intervals during the day. 'I here are several trainsfrom San Jose to San Leandro 'on both t'
broadand narrow gauge railroads; the broad gauge, by way of Niles, is much more con »enlent fjr get Inc

SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1890.

Our Tennessee Letter-

1

Gallatin, Tenn., May 4th.
Breeder and Sportsman:— The Nashville meeting closed
yesterday afternoon after seven days of excellent racing. The
opening day was one of the worst imaginable, it having
rained several days previoas, and that morning it seemed as
if some one had turned on the Atlantio Ocean from some
place above. The Two Thousand was the race of the day
and while it was rnn on a track ankle deep in mud, it was a
splendid race, rnn in good time, aud a good horse won. llob-
eepeirre was a 6 to 5 favorite, and he won almost as he pleased
Prince Fonso, a grand horfe, gave him abrnsb in theBtretch,
but Bob Francis gave the distinguished Frenchman his head
and he came away from bis field as though tbey were tied to
the iurlnng pole.

The mud did not suit Prince Fonso, and I hardly think the
best horse won. Then, too, Kobespeirre had had a race thiB
Spring, and be was much more seasoned. Blarney stone
seemed to wear a dark and stubborn coat, and, I hardly be-
lieve be was as good as when he ran at Memphis. I think
he llkts a long distance, and at a mile and a quarter, or a
mile and a half he would be a cracker.

E. S. Gardner is having a great rnn of luck this spring
with his Avondale Stables. ITe has eight head in training
now, and his two-year-olda, Ida Pickwick, Monte Rosa and
Kaluna, are about the beBt trio of youngsters to be found in
any of the "Western stableB. Ida Pickwick had two stakes to
her credit at the Nashville, one of which she won carrying
118 pounds. She is by imported Mr. Pickwick — Ida K by
King Alfonso. At the Kennesaw sale at Nashville last week,
Mr. Gardner purchased the yearling half siBter to Monte
Rosa for $2200. The yearling is by Mr. Reed's stallion For-
rester, a eon of The Ill-Used, and looks like she could give
her half sister weight and a beating now.

The Btlle Meade sale will go into history as the biggest
Hale of thoroughbred horEes ever held in this country. It
was truly a pleasure to watch the bidding when a choice
youngster was led into the ring, or when Great Tom or Bon-
nie Scotland broodmare was brought under the auctioneer's
notice. All was excitement when the stallioDg were put un-
der the hammer. When Captain Kidd had told the record
of Luke Blackburn and Iroquois, and when he had asked,
"What am I offered to start this great horse ?" everything
was as still as death. But not for long, as soon there were
bids from almost every seat that surrounded the ring, and
the bidding was kept up until Gen. Jackson was forced to
pay respectively $20,000 and $34,000 for Luke Blackburn
and Iroquois, the latter being the highest price a thorough-
bred ever sold for in America. When Captain Kidd wielded
his gavel and Baid, "Luke Blackburn goes to Gen. Jackson
for $20,000, old Uncle Bob, the colored character at Belle
Meade broke forth with three cheers for Tennessee! Luke
has always been Uncle Bob's favorite pet at Belle Meade.
Th% crowd responded with cbeers, and Blackburn, with his
i head erect and ears pricked back, standing before a repre-
sentative gathering of America's great turfmen, seemed pos-
sessed of a dignity that was equal to the occasion, and as he
Blood in that position many an old turfman's thoughts wan-
dered back to the Beason of 1880, when the gallant son of
hardy old Bonnie Scotland and Jimmy McLaughlin took the
field and Bwept everything before them. I too, had happy
thoughts of days gone by, and July 3, 1880, quickly came
back into my mind, for was it not on that day that I saw
Luke Blackburn lead the great Duke of Montrose and Har-
old to the win in the Ocean Stakes at Long Branch? I felt
like throwing up my hat as I did on that day in doing honor
to the greatest horse upon the continent. It was a great day
tor Tennessee, and thanks to Gen. Jackson for keeping him
within the bounds of hiB native State.

One of the best jockeys now sporting silk in the West iB
Bob Francis, and he is a young fellow that smely deserves
success. This year he is riding for George Hawkin's Chicago
Stable, and his work in the saddle can not be critioised. On
Thursday he rode four of the five winners at Nashville, and
had he not gotten off very badly in the last race he would
have most likely landed the winners of the entire programme.
It was surely Francis' day, and those who follow his mounts
made quite a killing

The sale on the opening day of the meeting at Nashville
was largely attended, and with but few instances, I believe
the prices realized were satisfactory. Several of the young-
sters by Blazes were sold at a sacrifice, I might say, and Mr.
Sbafer tells me he will never offer another yearling of his for
sale at that place. Auctioneer, Wm. Easton was a large pur-
chaser at the sale, and I am inclined to think he will sell his
purchaser in New York some time later in the season. If he
doea they will bring double the amount he paid for any of
them, which would make the New York market be in demand
next season. Horses will bring as much here in Tennessee
as they will any where, but breeders and salesmen, you can-
not sell your colts unless you advertise your sales. A sale
in Tennessee judiciously advertised would draw as many
buyers as would the same sale in New York, or any other
place, and when you get buyers upon the ground the horses
are going to bring good prices. Suppose this be tried next
season. Catalogue and advertise your sales, and if you do
not gst good prices and plenty of buyers, there is nothing in
actual experience.

A note from Major Campbell Brown tells me that he will
hold his annual spring sale of trotting and pacing horses on
May 28th, at Ewell Farm, Spring Hill, Tenn. Major Brown
is the pioneer breeder of Tennessee, and the crack trotterB
and pacers that have left Ewell Farm in the last few years
are legion. The stallions at Ewell Farm are Brown Hal
(pacer) 2:12J, Talisman, (pacer) Tennessee Wilkes (trial 2:25)
by George Wilkes, and McEwen 2:18£, the champioa four-
year-old race stallion. This is a quartette of trotting and
pacing stallions that is hard to beat, and as all mares at
Ewell Farm are of the most approved strains, the public will
have an opportunity to secure something phenomenal at the
coming sale.

I saw Riley, Ed Corrigan's Derby candidate, a few days
ago. He is now pretty high in flesh, looks very lusty, and
has the build of a great race horse. He does not move along
with that free and e&By action that denotes health, and I fear
his illness at Memphis was of a more serious nature than re-
ported. He was entered in the Two Thousand at Nashville,
but the morning of the race Mr. Corrigan decided not to
start him, as the track was a 8ea of mud, and was not sug-
gestive of doing an ailing horse any good. Jake Saunders
Riley's stable companion, is a much better lookinglcolt now
than the latter, and he strikes me as having more speed than
the Kentucky Derby favorite. I did not see Riley extended,
but a trainer who has had his eye on the colt for sometime,
tells me that he has lost that great burst of speed which he
possessed last fall.

And this reminds me of El Rio Rey, who many say is a
great "roarer." and of whom much has been written lately.
I took a look at him a few mornings ago, and, while he was
not moving, I could not see anything indicative to his having
turned short-winded, or a roarer. He carries a good deal
of surplus rlesh juBt now, but I presume that Courtney will
strip him of tbiB before he comes to the post. All the horses
iu the El Arrayo stable are high in flesh, and those that have
Btarted at Na? hville have not shown up very well. Joe Court-
ney ran on the opening day, as did the two-year-olds Aver-
age and Oletia, the latter finishing last, while Courtney was
no better than third. Average is a smart looking youngster,
and will do well later up the line. Don Jose is reported as

being ailing, and as far as I can learn, his illness is nothiog
serious.

I have seen Proctor Knott taking his work several times
during the last few weeks, and, no doubt, but what many
will be surprised to hear that the big gelding is all right. His
limbs are as smooth as a yearlings, and there is absolutely
nothing to make one believe he is not sound on his pins. He
is in even better condition now then when I saw him run at
Nashville and in the Derby last year, and just what right any
one has to say that he is mercifully broken down, I cannot
tell. He will not come to the post before about the middle
of June, when he will start in the Suburban Handicap. His
price in that race now stands at 20 to 1, while I notice many
books — very wisely so— are holding him out entirely. When
he starts, look out for him, and if nothing goes wrong with
him, he will take a world of beating in the Suburban.

Maori, another Suburban candidate, will do to watch. She
ran a good race at Memphis, and did a fast Becond to
Robeepeirre at Nashville. Last Tuesday, in the Duncan
Hotel StakeB, and on a heavy track, she ran Robespeirre to
a short heat in 1:43. The race was at a mile, and consider-
ing the difference in the days aod conditions of the tv»o
tracks, her race for the Duncan Hotel Stakes was a muoh
better performance than when she led Little Mincb, Laura
Davidson and Alaho from wire to wire at Washington Park
(Chicago), last summer in 1:39 4 5. She is owned by Nick
Finzer, the Kentucky turfman, who has great faith in her
chances to capture the Suburban, and if she is in condition
when that race is run she will be a certain starter. If she is
ridden properly in that race, and is fit, she will be dangerous.
She has a wonderful burst of speed, and I would not be sur-
prised to'see her fighting out the finish with such good ones
as Raceland, Knott, Salvator and others of that ilk.

English Lady and Dollikins, two suburban candidates and
stable companions of Proctor Knott, are hardly suggestive
of being by that class of horses that win the big handicaps.
The latter was a winner at Memphis, and while both fillies
are very speedy, I am not inclined to think Scoggans will
start either if they start Proctor Knott.

Mr. H. C. Sbafer of this place tells me that he is negotia-
ting with B. J. Johnaon anent the forming of a partnership
for the purpose of breeding thoronghbreda. Mr. Shafer now
owns that good stallion Blazes, sire of Barney, Gray Rock
and Kitty Cheathan, and besides the larRe number of mores
now upon his farm, they will import ubout twenty-live from
England. B. J. Johnson trained the Chicago Stable horses
last season, and nB be and Mr. Slmfer nve experienced horse-
men, they will only buy the best. I suppose it will be nec-
essary for them to buy another stallion, &B it would be taxing
the physical powerB of one stnllion too much to have him
serve bo many mares. It was currently reported a few mouths
since that Johnson owned the horse Once Again by Ononda-
ga Blaok Marin, aod if he does it is probable that he will be

returned to the new stud. He was a good racehorse, and
with his breeding he should be a success in the stud.

Farmer Jere Baxter, now a prominent candidate for Guber-
natorial honors in Tennessee, holds his annual sale of trot-
ting horses and Jersey cattle on May loth. He has a fine
collection of trotters catalogued for his sale, and they Bhould
realize good prices. His farm, Maplewood, is one of the fin-
est and best arranged stock farms in Tennessee.

Kennesaw.

By reference to our Australian letters it will be seen that
Mr. Merry ha^ purchased Borne excf edingly good brood mares
for L. J. Rose, and they will come to California by the next
Bteamer. The breeding of all tho mares is of the bept, sev-
eral of them being closely related to the best of the race
horses now in training in Oceanica. It is to be regretted
that E. J. Baldwin did not give Mr. Merry a commission to
purchase a stallion, as there is one badly needed at Santu
Anita as an outcross for the fine mares now at that breediuc
farm.

TWO AUSTRALIAN LETTERS.

The Mighty Carbine— A Great Sale— What
Mr. Merry Has Purchased.

rOHHOB WAISTS THE t H AMPIOSSHIP-DEATH OP
U.VKNEY THOMPSON.

Sydney, N. S. Wales, April 16, 18S9
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— 1 he Hod
White, having decided to give racing a spell for a couple of
seasons, his horses in training weie, on the 11th instant,
brought under the hammer. The prices in many cases must
have proved beyond Mr. White's most sanguine expectations,
for good horses as maDy of them undoubtedly are, they
would not have brought such prices had they corns out of
any other stable. ThB top price was given for a gelding
named Titan, whiob fell for the fabulous price of 4,600
guineas, to Mr. £. G. Brodribb. Mr. Brodribb is Ihe son of
a well known Xew South Wales squatter, deceased, aDd in
addition to squatting interests, the son made a pile nut of the
Broken Hill Silver Mines. Mr. Brodribb, however, wiJl want
all he has made at the silver mines, to keep up the pace he
has started with, he being a veritable Colonial Jubilee Jug-
gins. He went down heavily over Moorbank, about whioh I
spoke in a previous letter, and at the recent A. J. C. Autumn
meeting, the writer heard him otfar to lay a big Colonial
owner and bookmaker £5,000 to £1,000 on Carbine in one of
the races afterwards won by the Moari giant.

To a man of Mr. Brodribb's betting proclivities, the sum of
4 600 guineas is not so enormous when it is taken into con-
sideration it giveB him command over the wonderfully speedy
two-year-old, who has his two Derbeys, New South Wales
and Melbourne before him. However, I did not think there
wasanother man in the Colonials who would give a bona fide
bid of anything near the price, and I cannot but sarmise that
the Broken Hill plunger was "run" np to the price he gave.
Titan is by Mr. White's favorite Bire Chester from Tempe.

The nest best in ptice was a two-year-old filly by Martini-
Henry from Phillina, named Prelude, which brought $2,750
guineas. The colt Dreadnought by Chester — Trafalgar, three
years, is a good animal undoubtedly, and fell to the nod of
Lird Kesteven, who is now on a visit to the Colonels, for
2,100 guineas, so the colt may yet run on English turf.

A biy colt by Martini Henry — Malacca, named Singapore,
brought 2,000 guineas altogether beyond his value as a racer,
whatever he may ultimately do at the stud. The next btst
price was 1,550 guineas for a filly called Litigant, and then
the prices tailed off from 820 to 100 guineas, the thirteen
horses sold, amonest tbem being seven geldings, making the
handsome total of 16,765 guineas. The following is the full
list and prices obtained:

Ch g Sinecure by Martini-Henry — The Solent (imp.) by
Fdvonins— Lady Newby, 3 years; Mr. C. M. Lloyd, 700
guineas.

Ch c Dreadnought by Chester — Trafalgar (imp.) by Blair
Athol— Mosquito, 3 years — Lord Kesteven, 2,100 guineas.

B c Singapore by Martini-Henry— Malacca (imp.) by King
of the Forest— Catinka, 3 years — Mr. M. O'Shanassy, 2,000
gu:neas.

Br g Rudolph by Martini-Henry— Rusk (imp.) by Brown

Bread— Lady Sophia, 3 yearB; Mr. W. K. Wilson, S20 guineas.

B g Tribune by Marlioi-Henry — Wheel of Fortune by

Goldsbrough— Brown Duchess, 3 years; Mr. L. Oakley, 100

guineas.

Ch g Titan by Chester— Tempe, by Somnus (imp.)— White
and Blue (imp.), 2 years; Mr. E. G. Brodribb, 4 600 guineas.
Ch g Marco by Martini-Henry — Melanie, by The Marquis
{imp )— Art Unioo, 2 years; Mr. A. Johnston, 625 gnineas.

Br g Carlist by Chester — Copra, by Robinson Crusoe —
Cocoanut (imp ) 2 years; Hon. H. C. Dangar, 550 guineas.

Ch g Denman by Chester — Goldfinch by Kingston (imp.) —
Daughter of Little John, 3 years; Mr. J. Woods, 250 guineas.
B f Prelude by Martini Henry — Phillina (imp.) by Bonny-
field— Mrnandrea, 2 years; Mr. V. J. Dowling, 2,750 guineas.
Br f Ultimate by Martini-Henry— Ultima, by Yattenden—
Remnant, 2 years; Mr. T. Sanders. 220 guineas.

B f Utter by Martini-Henry — Uralla. by Chester — Moon-
stone. 2 years; Mr. H. Oxenham, 500 guineas.

B f Litigant by Martini-Henry — Leonie, by Yattendon—
Thyra, 2 years— Mr. C. M. Lloyd, 1,550 guineas.

At the Australian Jockey Club Autumn Meeting, held a'
Raodwick on April 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th, the Hon. D. S»
Wallace's four-year-old Carbine by the defunct Musket, from
Mersey, proved the hero of the four days, winning the au-
tumn stakes. U miles, the Sydney Cup, 2 miles, the all aged
fiUkea. 1 mile, the A. J. C. Plate, 3 miles, and the Cumber-
land Stakes, 2 miles. The principal horses he had to beat
were Melos, owned by Mr. William Gannon, and the then
Hon. Jhs. White's Dreadnought. On the brst day Titan
beat the Hon. D. S. Wallace's nlly Wilga, without an effort
for the A. J. O. Sire's Produce StakeB, 7 furiongB, but later
on in the meeting, when the pair met on the Champagne
Stakes, 6 furlongs, the tables were turned, owing to a mis-
take of judgment by the crack jockey Hales, who allowed
Wilga to get too big a lead, and tie was UDable to bring Titan
within more than half a length of the lilly at the finish, great-
ly to the chagrin of the backers of the gelding, on whom they
nadlaid7to2. And it is at a janctnre of this sort that a
clenn reputation 6tands to owner and rider, for what in the
clean potato ia looked upon as an error of jndgment in the
doubtful spud is at once jumped at by the crowd bb a
"crois." In a former letter I planked in favor of Titan for
the Doncaster Handicap, but he was scratched, and the win-
ner turned up in a horse of more interest to you people
acrosB the Herring Pond— Bir William, the colt by your Sir
Modred from Vesper, who won with 8 stone 6 lb., the second
highest weight, from a really good field. Sir Modred still
further distinguished himself as a sire on the last day with
Antaeus, a colt from Millie, who won the Rous Handicap, 1
mile, 3 furlongs, with 8 at. 7 lb., beating amongst others the
Bpeedy gelding Rudolph, 8*t, 5lb„ who the day before had
brought at the White aale 820 guineas. You may remember
my speaking of a very fractious colt called Daniel, owned by
the Hon. W. A. Long, Baying that he would one day be io
tbe humor and run like a racehorse. Well, my remarks were
verified ou the third day of the meeting, when he won the
Welter Handicap, 1| miles, from rather a large field, with 7st
91b. in the saddle.

Since Abercorn's breakdown the people out here have
"turned up" their old idol and gone io "bald headed" for
Carbine as "the best horse Australasia ever saw." I am not
altogether of the same way of thinking, and both fit and well
would pin my faith to my old horse Abercorn. Carbine cer-
tainly has the best showing on paper, as the following tables
attest:

CARBINE.

First Second Third Unplaced

At two years 6 0 0

At three years. 9 3 10

At four years 9 2 2 1

23 5 3 1

ABERCORN.

First Second Third Unplaced

At two years 5 1 1 °

At three years 6 3 0 1

At four years i 4 3 1

At five years 6 0 0 0

Carbine is ahead of Abercorn about £1400 in the matter of
winnings. However, Abercorn won his Derbies whilst -Car-
bine failed in the attempt, and whilst Carbine took 3 minutes
37 seconds to run his two miles in the Sydney Cup on a fine
day and a firm course, Abercorn won the Metropolitan Stakes
on a heavy course in 3:33, under which circumstances I am
loth to transfer my allegiance from Mr. White's erstwhile
crack .

Jack Thompson, a very popular Sydney bookmaker, bro-
ther to Joe and Barney Tnompson, who are now in London
and likely shorty to try their luck in America, died in Syd-
ney last week. Poor Jack went through the American war,
and many an idle but pleasant hour have I passed listening
to yarns of his experiences, both humorous and pathetic.
He was at one time in a partnership with the English tighter
Jem Mace in Melbourne, and Mace made a very scientific
fighter of Thompson, who stood some six feet two in height.
Thompson's only tight in the ring, if I recollect aright, was
with Christie, a big lump of a man, a Victorian detective
and a fair sculler, in addition to his bruising proclivities,
whom Thompson defeated in a round. "Ihe Jungle."

Another Letter from the Antipodes.

Editor of the Breeder and Sportsman. — I send by this
mail the papers which contain accounts of our autumn race-
meeting just over.

You will note that the only Sir Modred colts we have run-
oing down here were both returned as witness, viz., Sir
William, 3 yearB, in the Doncaster Handicap of 1,1.00
sovs. 1 mile with 118 lbs. on his back; 29 starters, the dis-
tance being covered in 1 03£, which was fast, considering the
big Held and heavy going. He is a muscular brown colt,
short in the back, strong loined, with hind legs well under
him, and standB over very little ground. Without being
actually first class, he is both fast and constant. Antaeus,
the other representative of your handsome exile, is a much
longer horse, with unusually powerful thighs, and it is
thought by good judges down here that if he had not gone
through sucu a severe preparation as a young three-year-old,
for the Melbourne Cup.he would have developed into a much
finer horse. He appropriated a race on the last day of the
meeting, after a slasning set to and under a big weight, and
with a spell may prove a dangerous horse in our next Mel-
bourne Cup in November next, when the rich stake of $10,-

000 will be run for.

The hero of the meeting of this occasion, however, was the
gtllant son of tho defunct "Musket," "Carbine." who woo
evtry race he Btarted for (5) at the meetiDg. including the
Sydney Cup of 1,500 sovs, 2 miles (a handicap), carrying the
steadier of 9 s 9 lbs. He is undouotedly the most brilliant
horse we have ever Been in the colonies, and his great pace
enables him to make every post a winning post from 4 fur-
longs to 3 miles.

flis breeding is worth the study by your stud men, and
reads by Musket (imp.) from. The Mersey (imp.) by Knows-
ley, from Clemence by Newminster, from Eulogy by Euclid,
from Martha Linn the dam of Voltigeur. Musket is by Toxo-
philite from a daughter of West Australian from Brown Bess
by Camel. Knowsley is by Stokwell from daughter of Mando
rfoni Brown Bess by Camel.

This is one of a large number of pedigees of phenomenal
horses put together in the same fashion, and it confirms
what we have long extended for, viz, that one of the con-
ditions of success lieB in mating strongly the blood of the
second and third dam of your sire. A glance at the pedigee
of Barcaldine will reveal a Bimilar niching of these elements

1 cannot call to mind others, but that wonderful sprinter
Peter, if I mistake not, is another instance, though the nick
of Brlchazzer is further away. In each of these three cases
it will be remarked that the return is to Blacklock a strain
of blood that to my mind responds more powerfully at long
distances than any other in the stud book.

Up to the preseut O'Connerbas been unable to get a match
on with any of our Bcnllers who are all so busy maiching one
another to 6nd the best man, that he will probably have to
cool his heels for some months to come. It is partly his own
fault, as I am told he will only pull for the championship of
the world, and as none of our men except Kemp {who is
probably our tbird best man) have any fair claim to hold it,
it would be nothing more than a farce to seriously make any
such match.

While we all regret the situation, it is impossible to help
it, and if he iB in real earnest he can get plenty of off matches
to fill in the time and aclimatize himself.
I have bad many pleasant visits from your old friend Thos.
B. Merry, Esq. He came amongst us in a very quiet, unos-
tentatious manner and really before I knew it fie had se-
cured Irom me two of my best mares. He has also purchased
five or six others from other gentleman and I learn thaL he
is negotiating for our Melbourne cup winner, Dunlop. As
near as I can learn, Mr. Merry has bought the following:

Bay mare Lady Alice by Musket, dam Erycan by Sledmere
and therefore own bister to Mitralleuse; this mare is six years
old.

The brown mare Ricochet, five years old, Bister to the
above.

Chestnut mare Hester by Derby, son of Kingsborongh, six
years old. This mare carried 142 pounds and run second
for the Morimbidgee Handicap; she is I ."4 and puis me very
much in miod of Mr. Haggin's Fireczi.

Chestnut mare Elsie by Grand Flaneur, dam Daughter of
the Regiment, Her second dam being the dam of MeloB
wrrch gives her a double cross of Yattendon, the aire of
Chester.

Bay mare Phoebe Marks by Kingsborongh, dam Lady And-
ley. (dam of Tbe Secret). She is 10 hands high and bus been
trained. She is now in foal to Cthello, son of The B*rb and
is the only one of the mares, so I nnderstand, which Mr.
Merry has bought that will foal to tbe Australian dates.

Brown mare Princess Royal by Goldsborough, dam Queen's
Head by Yattendon. I heard Mr. Peyton, trainer for the
Hon. Jas. White, say that Mr. Merry bad secured two of the
^est mares in Australia when he bought Princess Koyal and
P joebe Marks.

Chestnut mare Montalto by Neckersgat, dam Homola (dam
of Menotti and other good ones ) This is a very grand mare
and as a two-year-old was very Bpeedy but the handicapper
made her carry such terrific weights that she was usually
beaten before she started.

Mr. Merry is at present negotiating for Laughter, a brown
filly, Bister to Sweet Anchor, being by St. Albans out of
Queen Mary. This filly is at present in training and shows
considerable speed. Her owner asks four hundred gnineas
for her, but Mr. Merry, like all you Americans, is trying to
beat him down in price. Laughter is lo| hands and very
heavy bodied. It is altogether likely that if she should be
bought by the Californian that she will not be bred but re-
served for racing purposes in your country. Yours,

Centaur.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Happening in Fresno
City on a rambling tonr, I utilized a favorable day in the
matter of weather to viBit the Fresno Fair grounds and the
race track, two and a half miles distant from the city. The
ride is made easy by the street railway, running round trips
everv hour from Hughes' Hotel, which is, by the way, one of
the handsomest buildings in the modern style of architecture,
with elaborate finish in California, and in internal arrange-
ment, elegance, completeness and decoration, very few hotel
buildings equal the Hughes'. Its furnishment is cosily and
luxurious, in exquisite taste, and the cuisine is sumptuoas.
It is in full sense a first class hotel.

In less than half an hour the trip to the Fair grounds is
made, with floe views of the surrounding fruit orchards,
vineyardB of wine and raisin grapes, native shade trees and
magnificent landscapes extending in every direction to the
distant mountain ranges. In all California are no more
attractive surroundings to delight the eye, no location better
adapted to the purposes of husbandry, viticulture, breeding
and the turf.

A local stock company own the grounds and buildings.
The tract is one hundred acres in extent, and is in every part
as level nearly as a lioor. The soil is a light and lively sandy
loam, solid to wheel and springy to hoof, Irte from deep wiDd
and dense dnst in wettest and dryest seasons. Abundant
water is supplied by three large artesian wells and fifty wells
of ordinary bore, which never fail in flow and volame. The
track is one foot in exceBS of a mile three feet from the
inside, and in its preparation, thorough means were studied
and applied. Upon the hard part a few feet below the sur-
face sand was laid, and upon this quick loam spread and
worked in to ensure ease and elasticity, to guard against pos-
pible iojury to horses in the severest trials of racing perform-
ance. It is said to be the best track in California for speed
to the comfort and eafety of the horse. In quality of soil it
much resembles the old Union course on Long Island— the
memorable scene of the feats of Eclipse and Sir Henry, of
Fashion and Boston, and of Peytona and Fashion, many
years agone. In appointments it is much superior to that
famous old sporting ground, as the genius of tbe period sur-
passes the art <?f the early turfman in the management of
racing grounds, and the many accessories in late days wrought
to a degree that stamps it as perfection, with notbing beyond
to devise or accomplish. The Fresno track is laid out after
the best approved models, with clear starling way and first
rate homestretch from the turn to the finish to enable judges
and spectators to witness the concluding struggle ior the
mastery under the wire. From the straight of the home-
stretch to the judges' stand, there is an imperceptible declioe
of twelve inches, which asanres utmost Bpeed without possi-
ble injury, and heightens the excitement of the race. This
is the only departure from complete level all the way around
the track, which is maintained in thorough order in every
season.

The grand stand is well placed, with shade during after-
noons to the occupants, and the view of the track free from
obstacle o» obstruction. The structure is 130 feet in length,
raised to two high stories, with comfortable seats and clear
look to everyone, and its capacity is 3 000 grown persons —
1,500 on each floor. At each front corner is a lofty tower,
of hexagon form, projecting and constructed in Irussel man-
ner, so aB not to obstruct the view of any in the main stand.
On each tier floor is room for thirty persons, seated wilh com-
fort. In these are reserved places for press representatives.
The entire structure is built with chief r gard to strength
and safety. The foundation, supports and walls and roofing
are assuring against possible accident, from tbe giving away
of any part under the utmost pressure. The judge's stand
and the box-like bow structure for the timers both need
remodelling and improvement. The track appointments, for
weighing, for trainers and grooms, riders aud drivers and
horses, for placing at the score, for announcing results, and
all else, are quite complete. The fenceB, g-ites and entrance
to the track show the skill of a master hand in arrangement
and manner.

Near the track, with fine views of it from the broad and
extended balconies of the lower and upper stories, is the club
house, a capacious building, fully adapted to its UBes and
enjoyments, with commodious parlors elegantly furnished,
members' rooms, offices and apartments, all appropriately
fitted and furnished. The choice portion of the upper bal-
cony is reserved for ladies and their escorts, and proper care
is observed in the admission to the building and balconies.

Within the tract are fields of alfalfa and nutritioua grasses
choicest for pasturing, and these supply abundant feed dur-
ing every month of the year. In tbe severest winters there
is no trouble from inclement weather, and with the bounte-
ous supply of water by artificial means, the perils of drouth
are no more to be dreaded. Budd Doble, wilh his wide ex-
perience in .such matters, selected Fresno Fair Grounds last
winter for the care of his valuable horses, and those com-
mitted to his charge, and in the ppring he started eastward
wilh them all in prime condition. It was, too, on Fresno
track, that Marvin reduced the record of Sunol to 2:13$, and
at the time he was in doubt of her ability to meet the issue
because of the condition of the peerless filly of Palo Alto.

Nearer to the principal entrance of tbe Fair Ground is the
pavilion for agricultural and kindred exhibitions of the
products of the farm, tbe orchard, the vineyard, of the skill
and handicraft of the housewife, and the fair of the honBe-
hold, of the mechanical art, of everything which goes tn make
up the grand aggregate of the accustomed Annual Fair which
attract moltitudes from afar, and in the great holiday festival
event of the year to the proJncers and residents of the local-
ity. It is a large building, of unique architecture, a capa-
cious ootagon, with et trance to every side, and one side the
equal of every other in tbe choice of place of exhibition and
display. It rises to the quivalent of two lofty storieB and a
dome orcuDola. The roofing is of curru gated iron and to that
degree fireproof and preventive of rain pour or tricklings.
The lower floor is devoted to the more cumbersome exhibits,
with the great central space held for visitors, and on occasions
cleaned for danciog if required. The second floor is a kind
of gallery for visitors and a place for tbe displey of the more
delicate and attractive articles of the artifices and from tbe
realm of femininity, paintings, feathers, flowers, needle-
work, etc. Above is tbe cupola, giving light
to the graceful finish which it gives the structure from out-
side view. The whole building is amply lighted with great
windows above and below on every sine. Adjacent are the
sheds and stalls and pens, for farm animals of every kind;

tbe farms and coops and "contraptions" for poultry, fowls,
and every species of the domestic creation. In all theap-
rjuntments of our Agricultural Fair, up to the advanced con-
dition of the agriculturists of the country, the Fresno Fair
Grounds are up to tbe best examples.

There is still more to add in reference to the excellence of
the Grounds in another and kindred relation. The stables
specially built for the accommodation of horses with their
trainers, groom?, handlers, riders, drivers, and others, are
superior to almost any others in the State, in plan, structure,
furnishment, space, comfort, food and water, and other im-
portant accessions. The care and condition of the horBe has
evidently been the mindful stady and consideration of the
owners and managers of the Grounds. It is difficult to sug-
gest improvement upon what has been done so very well.
To be seen and to be copied is the consequence of the visit of
which I write.

At the stables, during my too brief visit, I was shown
many valuable, fine and attractive horses. Of these were
Electioneers, Sultans, Wilkses, Nutwoods, Alexanders, and
others. Junio and Clovis. each the property of Mr. Siraube
ot Fresno, are paramount in qualities and magnificent in
aDpearanoe. Junio is the best son of Electioneer, judged
by look, that I have seen. A two year old colt, an Election-
eer, also owned by Mr. Straube, is a perfect type of the great
sire, and a beauty to look at. Clovis, a Sultan, is like-
wise a noble horse to view.

I have seen and ascertained enough to be convioced that,
Fresno is high in the line toward foremost place in trotters
in California— and what state equals this? Here they have
got the soil, the climate, the grass. Farther, they have got
tbe men who have got the money too; men who know a
good horse when thej see one, and don't haggle as to the
price. They want him, they will have him, if he is for sale.
Lewis Leach, a pioneer of Fresno of tbe Fifties, and Pres-
ident of a Bank here, is president of the Fair Grounds Com-
pany. Mr. F. B. Baldwin, an old and eiperienced breeder
and turf man, from New York formerly, is the superinten-
dent and manager in charge. His son is Secretary. The in-
stitution is prospering. All the time improvements are pushed
onward. Landscape gardening is the latest step to beanti-
fication of the grounds' A master artist is employed for the
tastefol work. Shade trees, fruit trees, everything to be ob-
tained that will grow and ornament, and choice flowers are
cultivated. Fresno has not leaped from a population of
1100 in 1830 to 15,000 now, without recognition of the duties
incumbent upon citizens to exert themselves further, and
keep up their rapidly growing city to the standard of the con-
sequent prosperity. Here are the tioest buildings of splen-
did architecture, only one, two and three years old. The
kind are multiplying. By 1900, Fresno will cover miles of
site and display her many hundred of grand edifices to the
pride of the 50,000 inhabitants. She is accumlatively raising
the progressive wealth of her raisins, now enjoying the top
of tbe market. M.

When a man starts out with a "ringer" he starts out to
steal. He has the conrage to do it because the civil law will
not reach him if caught, and the penalty imposed by tbe Na-
tional or American Associations will not prevent him from
doing it over again. The man who does this is hardly as
honorable as the burglar who cracks a bank. Both want to
get away with the spoil* not honestly obtained, and the bank
cracker has the cDnrage to risk the punishment of the state.
Now to make the identification of tbe horse and driver more
complete, both should have a license from the association
over whose track they are trotting.

The driver should file a certificate giving hi^ name, resi-
dence, age, height and complexion, attested by three wit-
nesses; a"fee of $5 should be paid and a license issued to him.
Every hor^e also should be registered in like manner, giving
age, height, breeding, marks and record, it should be re-
newed every year. An owner should have the right to drive
his owd horse, but no other, uuleBs he has paid the fee of $5,
which would constitute him a professional driver. These fees
shoald constitute a fond from which a judge should be hired
to visit every track in a given circuit. If an owner or driver
has a comp'aint or protest to make, it should be lodged with
tbe circuit judge, who should present it to the American or
National Association.— Spirit of the Hub.

Several New York sporting men are said to be correspond-
ing with the many broncho riders of Mexico, Arizona and
Texas in regard to holding an international tournament in
Gotham on odo of the race tracks. It is expected that the
distance of the race will be from 50 to 300 miles, with relays
of horses. '

A trotting meeting was held at Alexandria Park, London,
on May 5th, and was conducted on the American plan — mile
heats, three in five. Harry Walkis beat Little Sioux and Bos-
ton Boy in straight heats, best time 2:37. It is rumored that
several tracks will be built on the American plan and made
as fast as possible.

The Undine and Smith Stables will leave to-morrow; the
former will go on to Westchester while the latter will stay in
Chicago. Homer, Racine, Glenlevit and probably Tycoon
will be taken on by the proprietors of the Undine Stable un-
der W. McCormick's charge. Mr. Smith will have Al Far-
row, Longshot and Susie S.

Gregory has shown by his work that he has improved,
while hiB old rival, Reclare, has gone back. Burlington
begins to show up to advantage, and if he continues to thrive
he will rank close up with the first class three-year-olds
Not more than half a dozen trials have been run as yet by
the horses et work on the various New York tracks, and but
few of that number were beyond a mile.

Judge Van Sickle, at the opening of the May term of the
Union Court this morning, desired the grand jury t$ bring in
indictments against all bookmakers doing business at the
race tracks of the New Jersey Jockey Club and the Linden
Blood Horse Association. "Horse racine," he said, ''is not
against the law of New Jersey, but bookmaking is."

The dam of Reno's baby, the famous Texas colt which
last year was campaigned the season through, finally getting
a trotting record of 2:25J and a pacing record of 2:24£ as a
two year old, was got by a pacing horse taken to Texas from
New York years ago, that was called a Morgan at the time.
All attempts to get at the facts of his breeding have proved
futile.

Riley won the Kentucky Derby last "Wednesday in 2:45, the
slowest time since the race was started, but the track was
very heavy, and in Murphy's hands Riley rompsd home five
lengths in front, despite the faot that he was said not to be a
good mud-horse; he is by Longfellow, out of Geneva by War
Dance; probably it was the latter cross that gave him mud-
sense.

E. J. Baldwin, the Santa Anita millionaire, has a remarka'
bly Btylish five-year-old black brown mare by Sultan 1513,
out of Kitty "Wink by Coming's Harry Clay. The mare was
sent to Chas. David's training stables last week to be broken
to harness. Her dam Kitty Wink was brought out as a mate
for Volney 2:23, and was very speedy but never was driven
for a record being used double by Mr. Baldwin.

Lord Durham, a London correspondent has been told by
a rasing authority, is determined to suBtain his character as
a turf reformer, and, undeterred by the trouble and loss to
which he was put in regard to his difference with- Sir George
Chetwynd, is now engaged upon an elaborate statement,
which he will shortly publish, and which is intended still
further to expose certain abuses of the raoing world.

Dan Dennison Sr., and young Dan left Sacramento last
Monday for Portland, Ore. Dan wrote me that he would
take in the mountain circuit with Hotspur, Dave Douglass,
G. "W. and Mohawfc. On the same oar were Coloma and
Guido— the latter has not been sold to W. H Smith. Dan
should pick up a little money with game old Dave and the
useful four-year-old Hotspur, while the speedy but erratic G.
W. may account for a race or too.

The Umpire (England) says: There is no Donovan this year,
Curiously enough, nearly every 'bad year' has admitted of
one horse standing out vigorously from his contemporaries.
"Will the time ever come when the relative merits of racehor-
ses will be decided by any other test than that at present in
vogue? It is yet only a matter of opinion whether Ormonde
was the horse of the century. Many people would at the
present moment vote Donovan that honor.

Jas. E. Watson informs me that his mare Nellie by Mc-
Clellan, foaled on April ISth, a splendid blaok filly by Memo,
the foal is entered in the BREEDER and Sportsman's Futur-
ity stake, and Mr. Watson pays will prove as invincible as
Black Joe, his wonderful, ill-fated, black pointer, was— by the
way,Mr. Watson has another black poioterrecently imported,
which is showing up very well, and also an imported black
bitch which laBt week had eight young puppies.

The World says: "On bis general reputation this man Mc-
Cormick onght to go. He has been running his horses in
and out for months. Look at Early Blossom. Who knows
when she is going to win? Who knows when she will lose?
Who knows when Sparling will win? McCormick may be
unfortunate. So is the man who has yellow fever or small
pox, but that does not keep him from being put into a safe
seclusion. The public has had enough of this kind of work.
It is about time to stop it."

Owners or trainers who did not, or neglected to, furnish
their jockies with their proper colors have been having a
hard time of it at Elizabeth. A system of tines wits inaugu-
rated which should have a wholesome effect upon delinquents
in this regard. A fortoight ago C. J. Donovan & Co.,
Charlie LittleGeld and O H. Stebbins were fined $10 each
for not having their representative colors at the track. The
Jockey Club has rightly determined to put a stop to this sort
of thing, whioh has become verj troublesome to the officials
and annoyiog to the public.

The Manchester Umpire says: It is always pleasant to note
improvements at Newmarket, as a certain section of the pub-
lic had begun to think, from the continual grumbling of the
scribes, that such thingB were almost unknown at headquar-
ters. One of the latest is that the exercise grounds are now
all mapped out with posts placed a furlong apart so that the
lads who ride can make no mistake with their charges, bat
cm send them along exaotly the distance their trainers in-
struct them to go. It is also a boon to the amateur tout, of
whom there were plenty on the heath during the three days
of the Craven Meeiing.

The following jockeys are now under suspension: Horton,
suspended until June 1st; Murtha, until the end of the pres-
ent year; A. McCarthy, until the end of tho present season;
Bender, Croker's rider, until June 2Gtb; SampBon, until the
end of the present year; Ross, until the erjd of the present
year; D. "Watson, suspended until June 1st; Winslow,
until the end of summer meetings; Trainor, until the end ot
the present year; Johnson, suspended until June 12th;
Kelly, until the end of the present year; Murray, until June
25th; Vincent, suspended until June 1st; Tabor, suspended
until June 1st; Canip, suspended indefinitely; Van Keuren
until he makes satisfactory excuses.

The Poule d'Essai races were run at Paris May 4th. The
race for fillies had only three starters, and was won easily
by a length and a half by M. Pierre Donon's Wandora, by
Bruce out of Windfall. Alicante waB second, fifteen lengths
in front of BeronicA. The last betting was 2 to 1 on Wando-
ra, 4 to 3 against Alicante, and 50 to 1 against Beronice.

In the race for colts there were seven starters. Baron
Rothschild's English ored colt Heaume by Hermit, nut of
Bella, was an easy winner, finishing a length and a half
ahead of Pourpoint, who was eight lengths in front of Yel*
low. The last odds werd 6 to 4 against Heaume, 5 to 1
against Pourpoint, and 6 to 1 against Yellow.

The death of Silvio, who has for some years been regarded
as one of the leading thoroughbred stallions in France, has
followed very closely upon that of his breeder, Lord Fal-
mouth, for whom he won the Derby and St. Leger of 1877,
and many other valuable races. Silvio's success at Epsom
was more largely doe, however, to the mediocrity of his op-
ponents and to the accident which befelChamaut, the French
bred son of Mortemer, who had beatea him in the Two Thou-
sand, than to his own merits as a race horse. The late Duo
de Castres purchased him of Lord Falmouth for 7,000gs, in
1881, for his stud near Moulins, where he had every chance
of distinguishing himself.

The troubles of a light-weight are admirably rendered in
the Sydney Bulletin, which has a ske'eh of a corpulent owner
and his emaciated light-weight with the following dialogue:

Jockey to Owner — Very sorry, sir, but I can't quite manage
it.

Owner — Been eating anything?

Jockey — No. sir; not tasted anything since yesterday.

Owner — "Were you weighed with the pound saddle?

Jookey — Yes, sir.

Owner — Got your lightest jacket on?

Jockey — Yes, sir.

Owner — Oh! D — u it! go and have a shave.

The first Electioneer to enter the 2:30 list this season was
Suisun, previous record 2:3H, by Electioneer out of Susie
2:2G£ by Geo. M. Patehen Jr. 31. At Washington, D. C. on
May 1st, after laying up two heats John E. Turner was called
to the stand and after some argument allowed to continue
driving the mare who readily took the next heat in 2:25jf and
wound up the race in 2:31 and 2:31. Turner was very sore
as he did not have a dollar on the mare, and he said after-
wards that the JAsBOciation was much to blame especially,
as on the preceding day in the 2:23 pacing Vietor and J K
made a dead heat in the second beat and the time was given
2:22J to keep them in the 2:23 class, while in reality the time
was 2;21J.

A newlaw in Indiana pertains to the service fee of stallions
and requires registry of stock horses with the clerks of oir-
cu it courts. One of the requirements of the law is as follows:
"That a c^py of such license, embracing Buoh sworn state-
ments and pedigree, with the fee the owner proposes to
charge for service, shall be posted by the owner of snob sire
in two or more conspicuous places in the vicinity of the place
where the sire is kept foraervioe; and should any part of said
sworn statement be, to the knowledge of the owner of such
sire, false in any porticular, the owner shall not be entitled
to collect any fee for such service; and the falsity of such
statement, or auy pirt thereof, may be pleaded in the bar to
any contract or account for services of such sire."

The latest Enclish news of the Derby says Surefoot (Wis-
dom— by Galopin) proved himself so much in advance of all
other competitors in the race for the 2,000 guineas that he
has been installed a hot favorite for the Derby at 6 to 4 on.
One gentleman this week endeavored to lay .C 3,000 to C2.000
on him, but without finding any takers at the price. Lord
Rothschild's LeNord was so decisively beaten tbat all hopes
of his turning the tables on the favorite in th« Derby have
been abandoned. The fielders have this week had a good
time, as neaily all have a favorite on their books, while
scarcely anything was ba'.ked for the one thousand guinea
beyond Semolina, the winner. The Duke of Portland owns
both Semolina and the second mare, Memoir, and all com-
petent judges are of the opinion that Memoir could have won.
The Duke, however, had his money on Semolina, who is
more than a half sister to Donovan, by St. Simon, outof
Mowerina by Scottish Chief, while Donovan is by Galopin,
the Biro of St. Simon.

The foreleg foi speed can hardly be too light at the bottom,
but it is never too heavy at the top. There are no muscles
below the knea. Not an ounce of superfluous weight is per-
mitted where it would have to be lifted at such a great me-
chanical disadvantage, so that the muscles on the arm have
not only to lift aod carry the leg on, but to work every joint
below the knee by a beautiful system of polished, well oiled
pnllies, and smooth strong cords. No strength elsewhere
can compeDsate for weakness in the muscles of the arm.
"Where great speed is required the arm bone Bhould be long
in proportion to the shank bone below it. No horse can be
safe, strong and enduring unle3^ the upper portion of this
bone exhibits a full supply of well developed muscles.

The Sporting World says, speaking of Hermit and his
sensational career:

Perhaps the most marvellous instance of iron nerve evin-
ced over a severe betting loss was when Hermit came to
weigh in. Lord Hastings, whom the victory had irretrieva-
bly ruined, descended from the stewards' stand, and, with-
out the slightest touch of bravado, patted the horse on the
neck. On his death bed, referring to the circumstances, he
observed, "I said nothing, but people did not know howl
felt*" Hermit's career on the turf was not a long one, and
he has ever since been located at Blankney serving 100
mares every season, latterly at 250 guineas each. (He was for
several years limited to 5 outside mare?, and never served
anything like 100 in any one season. — Ed. T. T.)

The nps and dowrs of tnrf speculators are very like
the history of Wall street frequenters. Take the case of Sam
Emery as an example. A few years ago be was a rich man.
Shortly afier he won a fortune with Dry Monopole in the first
Brooklyn Handicap he had to sell out his racing stable and
retire from the turf. He was "sold out under the rale," to
use a Wall street term, to satisfy his creditors. Again, shortly
after, he counted his profits by tenB of thousands of dollars.
Last week" he was unable to make a book, as he hadn't the
necessary capital to bay a seat in the Bookmakers* Exchange.
So he stood on the ground. On Saturday he put the last $50
he had on Rosa m the fourth race and won $5000. This
week he will probably be bulling the market from his usual
atand in the betting exchange at the race tracks.

The outlook for the spring meeting at City View, Portland,
continues to grow brighter day by day. sayB the Oregmian.
Eecent importations of blooded horses have increased the in-
terest and prospects of horse breeding in the State, and it is
generally understood that Oregon, Washington and Mon-
tana breeders will have a larger represent ition here than
ever before.

The efforts of the association in improving the track and
grounds have evidently created a favorable impression among
horsemen hereabouts, and the entries promise to be unusu-
ally large. There is no great probability, so far as appears,
of any extensive representation of California, and on this
account home breeders will undoubtedly feel a greater free-
dom to enter in all the races.

The various reports in the daily papers of the Arcade
Bon Ton race at Sacramento, a fortnight ago stated that
both boys were taken down. Casey was not taken down but
rode and won on Arcade against whose owner and trainer
no compldint was made. Reporters should be careful and
njt make such grave errors.

Many of the nobility— or at least the younger members of
that class— now look at trade in one form or aoother, either
for support or as a means of investment, and various are the
ways adopted. Some take to stocbbroking in the City, others
to banking, whilst a few are now engaged in ranching in the
Wild West. The Umpire says: A few years back society was
startled by the announcement that Lord Marcus Beresford
had accepted the position of starter to the Jockey Club — a
position at that time considered rather inconsistent with a
title. However, his Lordship entered upon his new duties
with heart and soul, and has done much during the short
time he wielded the red flag to abolish abuses which at times
previous were often too frequent. We now learn that he
has resigned the position which he lately held so creditably,
and has joined the army of trainers. He has taken a large
establishment at Newmarket, and will train for the Prince of
"Wales, Baron Hirsch, and Lord Randolph Churchill.

No Steward of the English Jockey Club within recent times
has done so much to make bis term of office famous- as Mr.
James Lowther, and it was the wish of a large number of the
racing fraternity that he would allow himBelf to be re-elected
The last three years may justly be described as a critical time
for tne clnb. and it is in a very great measure owing to the
exertions of the retiring Steward that they have come through
it so satisfactorily. The Manchester Umpire says: While re-
gret accompanied the retirement of Mr. Lowther, satisfaction
is general at the choice of his successor, Mr. J. H. Houlds-
worth. The litter gentleman was elected a member of the
club in 1874, but previous to that time he had confined his
attention in ths racing Hoe mainly to the Northern steeple-
chase meetings. The best horse he has ever owned is un-
doubtedly Springfield, though that celebrated horse s de-
scendants have not been so successful as might have been ex-
pected. As Mr. Hpuldswortb is practically a non-betting man
his gr en and gold jicket is popalar on every racecourse, but
nowhere more so than in the north of England. His acces-
sion to office was marked fitly enough by the success of his
colors on Evergreen in the Babraham Plate, and that this
may be the preoursor of many more successes is the wish of
all lovers of racing.

The Secretary of Charter Oak Park announces 311 entries
for the $10,000 colt race for foals of 1839, mile heats, best
three in five, to be trotted during August. This list is be-
yond all anticipations, having entries from twenty-one States
and the British provinces. Kentucky leadB with 69, New
York 44, California 33 Massachusetts 27, Conuecticut 27,
PennBjlvania 19 and Offio 18, The others are from 1 to 9
each. The entries include the get of the speediest aod great-
est stallion? in America, viz* Nelson 2:14J, Paton 2:144,,
8tambonl2:l2i, Wooduut 2:16£. Nutwood 2:18J, Director
2:17, Guy "Wilkes 2:15} and Electioneer. Palo Alto farm
names ten, among which are Belle Elower, Hiada Rose, Palo
Alto Belle. The La Siesta Ranch names eight and L. J.
Rose of Los Angeles names one by Stamboul and three by
Alcazar.

The Helena Independent says: Near by the Montana stable
at Louisville is that of H. R. Baker, also of Montana. In this
stable there is a large chestnut geHmg that attracts a good deal
of attention on account of the loud, roaring noise he makes
while at work on the track. The horse is Daniel B., by Glen
Elm, out of Nettle3, a short-bred mare. He was born and
reared on the plaios of Montana, and on his left shoulder
bears the brand of the ranch to which he belonged. Daniel
was a powerfal race horse when he first went on the turf,
and he won nearly every race in the northwest in whioh he
started. Two winters ago he had the distemper, which left
the muscles of his throat paralyzed. To enable him to make
a race at all, a slit was cut in his throat and a silver tube in-
serted, through which he breathes. The tube is used ooly
when he makes a race and is exercising; without it a roaring
noise is made caused by his breathing through the hole in his
throat.

In the spriDg of 1869, Harry Bassett was sold as a yearling
for $345, and the draft made on Col. D. McDaniel for him
went to protest. Mr. C. J. Alloway finally took up this draft
and the colt passed into possession of the McDaniel confed-
eracy. As a three-year-old Harry Bassett was without a
rival, winning thousands of dollars, and as a four-year-old he
was 'the sensation of the East. In 1872 he met Longfellow
in the Monmouth Cup at Long Branch, and the whole coun-
try went wild over the race. Harry Bassett was beaten, but
be turned the tables on the magnificent son of Leamington at
Siratoga in the cup contest at tbe Springs, and he was again
the idol of the public. The Turf, Field and Farm also
pays: although the chestnut son of Lexington and Canary
Bird brought so much wealth to the confederacy, the draft on
Col. McDtniel for $345 taken up by Mr. Alloway was never
paid. That gentleman still has it. The unwritten history of
the tnrf ib full of curiouB thing?.

The Jasksonville Democratic Times of the 9th says: The
annual meeting of stockholders of the Jacksonville cDuaty
agricultural association was held at the town ball in John-
sonville last Monday afternoon. More than one-half of the
capital stock were represented, in person or by proxy, and
the following directors were elected unanimously to serve
for the ensuiDg year: I. B. "Williams, C. C. Beekham, "W. C.
Leever, Geo. T. Hersbberger, Geo. DeBar, F. T. Downing
and J. VV. Merritt. The association haBat IaBt been able to
get its affairs into good shape financially, and will doubtless
prove of vast benefit to the country in encouraging fruit
culture and fine stock raising. A welcome despatch waB re-
ceived before the meetiog adjourned, from F. T. Downing,
the association's representative on the Southern Oregon
State Board of Agricultural in session at Grant's Pass at the
same hour, stating that the district fair will be held on the
grounds of the Jackson county fair association next fall.
After the adjournment of the stockholders' meeting the newly-
elected directors qualified and held a business meeting at
which they re-elected I B. Williams president, Wm. M.
Holmes secretary and C. Magruder treasurer for the ensuing
year The following executive committee was appointed:
F. T. Downing, J. W. Merritt and Dr. Geo. DeBar.

An interesting letter, covering a lot of ground, appears in
an Eoglish sporting contemporary on raciDg and its surroun-
ding in BuenoB Ayres. It is from the pen of Mr. Brett, one
of the leading trainers in the Argentine. He refers to Or-
moDde, who is in his charge, as being a perfect picture, and
SBys that he gave him good, healthy exercise for about two
months, in whioh he was ridden daily by Kellett.

He continues: — The reason why I gave Ormonde so much
exercise was to prevent him from becoming too tre?h, and
hence prevent an accident, as I waB obliged to take him daily
through crowds of traffic of all sorts on my way to the exer-
cise grounds. Often jfou might have seen me leading him
by the side of my pony, goiog through crowds of c»rts cart-
ing sand from the river. The horse at the pretent lime is in
charge of my head man, John North, who lived with me when
at Kennett, Newmarket, and Utterly with Mr T. Cancon, at
Stockbridge. Ormonde takes his daily exercise by the side
of a hack, leading him. He has got moat comfortable quar-
ters, and is well cared for in every way, and I think when
you kno » that I was engaged as far back as last March twelve
months to manage Ormonde I surely know a little more than
most people do about the horse.

"The annexed resolutions embody the results accepted at
the conference on horse-shoeing, held in connection with the
Animals' Institute on Saturday: 1. The foot should have
only so much horn removed from it at each shoeing as is
necessary for the proper fitting of the shoe, and no more.
2. The frog should have a bearing on the ground, but no
other part of the hoof should be weakened to give this healthy
action. 3. Shoes cannot be too light if they give sufficient
near. 4. The width of a Bhoe need be no more
than is necessary to cover the bearing Burface. 5.
Nails are the most secure and simple fastenings for
horse-shoes, and a properly driven nail never does any
harm. 6. The most important requisite in hoise-shoeing
is the adoption of a correct system, not the use of any special
form of shoe. 7. All shoes should have a level bearing on
tbe foot, extending from the toe to the heel. S. Thfi ground
surface of a shoe should follow the form of the ground sur-
face of an unshod foot which has traveled on a level road.
9. No better form of shoe exists than a narrow one, made
rather thicker at the quarters than at the heel and toe. 10.
The recent proposal to affix shoes on feet (without nails) by
broad projections into the hoof and by pressure round the
wall is impraticable and injurious. 11. No advantage fol-
lows the retention of shoes on a foot for more than four
weeks, as the growth of the horn in that time produces a
disproportionate hoof. If in thiBtime the shoe is not worn
out it should be removed. — London Live Stock Journal.

Work npon the new race track for the Stanislaus Stock
Breeders' Assoniation is progressing rapidly, says the Stanis-
laus County News. The track for the entire mile has been
plowed up, and considerable grading already done. From
the grand stand to the first quarter turn the track is eighty
feet wide, and for the rest of the distance sixty feet wide.
On the turns tbe outer edge will be five feet higher than the
inBide, or one foot to the ten rise that being universally con
ceded by horsemen to he much better for the horses, as level
turns on a track have been found to tend to strain the horses'
feet. The track will be completed in about two weeks, and
will be one of the fdstest and best winter tracks in the State.
Four four-horse scrapers are kept constantly at work, and in
two weeks it i* expected that the track will be graded and
rolled and ready for use. "Work upon the erand-stand and
other buildings will not be commenced until after the next
meeting of the Bnard of Directors, which will be held some
time during the present month.

John Reavey's seven-year-old mare Vedette, foaled on the
28th of April, a slashing looking chestnut colt by Dnke of
Norfolk and has been bred back to him. The youDgster
should be a race horse sure, as he is full of the best blood in
America, his pedigree showing at a glance four crosses of
imported Glencoe, three of Lexin^tan, two each of imported
Sovereign and imported Yorkshire with croSBeB of (imp) Bon-
nie Scotland and (imp) Leamington close op. The pedigree
is so rich and rare that I give it below;

There are in the possession of Mr. Wm. Robinson, Dan-
ville Ky., several antique documents giving the pedigreeB of
thoroughbred horBes in ye ancient days. The following ex-
cerpts will prove attractive to those interested in the gene-
alogy of the blue-blooded racers; "The pedigree of Vampire —
The bay colt was by Regulns; his dam by Steady, his grand
dam by Partner, his great-grand dam by Greyhound, and
bred by the late Craftz Banforth; as witness my hand, this
14th day of April, 1765, [signed] Thomas Hutchinson, Wal-
lier street, London." This certificate then follows; "This
colt I sold to Lord Waldegrave for Wm. Avon. This is to
certify that the above horse called Vampire was bought as
above mentioned by the late Earl Waldegrave, and was sold
by order of hii Lordship's executors, after hisdeath, by Wm.
Pond, at New Market, the 28th day of April, 1763, unto the
Rt. Hon'ble Lord Farohaup, for His Grace, the Duke of
Bridgewater, for 400 guineas. James Underhill. Steward to
the late Eirl WaHegrave. The above mentioned horse, Vam-
pire, I sold in July, 1764. [Signed.] Mr- Thomas Hodgkin."
Col. Hodgkin was then living in King aod Queens county,
Virginia. In another memorandum he mentions Minerva,
foaled in 1794, and notes her success in four races run in
1799 in whioh her total winnings were £372 8s. Od. The
first race was two mile heats, and tbe other three four-mile
heats. One of the latter was run over the Richmond course,
the 16tb of October. In a note the owner sayB: "On the
morniDg of this run Mr. John Randolph, now a member of
CongTesB, offered me £2,000 for said mare Minerva." The
offer was evidently declined, as a memoraodom of a race at
Petersburg follows and contains thiB note: "This is the last
race run with success, being injured in her run at Peters-
burg."—Danville Advocate.

Tbe New York Times referring to tbe recent arrests at the
Brooklyn Jockey Ulub says: One of tbe strangest things
known in the history of horse racing is "Pete" De Lacy, the
proprietor of closed poolrooms in Barclay Street, Park Bow
and North William Street and the reputed backer of a faro
game in the Bowery, posing as a reformer, and advocate of
law aod order, andan agent for the suppression of gambling.
De Lacy is the man whose two clerks, Wynn and Skahill,
have caused the arreBt of officers of the Brooklyn Jockey
Club and the bookmakers at the track. The men first fried
to accomplish their object by an appeal to the Union Coun-
ty officers at Elizabeth. They knew who De Lacy was, and
that his purpose was merely a matter of retaliation upon tbe
jockey club people for refusing io famish him information
necessary to the running of his city pool rooms. Appeals to
them having proved faultless, De Lacy'a agents went to Rah-
way, and there secured from Justice Frazee the necessary
warrants. It is only fair to Mr. Frazee to suppose that he
knew nothing of the character of the men who swore out the
eighty or more warrants, or of their motive for so doing.
They represented to him that their action was solely in tbe
intereBtof law and order! A tine trio indeed to make such
representation. As a matter of fact, De Laoy is one of the
worst of the proprietors of tbe oity pool rooms. His North
William Street place was commonly called "the dollar room"
because bets of that amount were taken from clerks, messen-
ger boys, and others who could not afford either to go to a
rack track or to play the races He also allowed combination
bets at 25 and 50 cents to be made, this system, as every
one knows, being little better than highway robbery, as snob
a thing as winning one of these bets when extremely long
odds were offered is well nigh an impossibility. The city
rooms at best are the curse of the whole racing business, aod
it is in them that the petty embezzlers and thieving employes
cast away their earnings. Aa a rule, tbe men who go lo the
race track are olose students of the sport and can afford to
lose when they do bo. Tbey are men who have left tbe other
speculative games at the Stock, Prodnce and other Exobanges
down town for a g-me wh> re tbey believe there is a belter
chance to win, or whereat least no half dozen men can con-
trol the market and make every one lose when tueyHe 6t.
There is no public form in stock, oil, grain, cotton, or coffee
speculation. Tbe city pool roomB bear exactly the same re
latiou to the race tracks that the backet shops do to tbe i
ohanees. The first two are four men an 1 bo}fl who cannot
afford to speculate at all, tbe last two for capitalists to in
dnlge their speculative spirit to its fall bent.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA KENNEL CLUB.

Second Annual Bench Show.

A SPLENDID EXHIBIT.

The second bench show of the Southern California Kennel
Clab began at Lob Angeles on Tuesday, April 6th, at 140 and
142 North Main Street, in a well-situated hall, opening
directly from a thoroughfare. The hall was of ample Bize,
with convenient annexers in which to cook the necessary
food for the dogs, and an ample yard wherein to exercise
them. The only criticism to be made upon the hall was that
the light might have been better. The club was organized
on May 7, 1889; -was made a member of the American Kennel
Club on September IS, 18S9, and is officered as follows: Pres-
ident, H. T. Payne; vice-Presidents, J. F. Holbrook, J. E.
Preston; Secretary, E. K. Benchley; Treasurer, E. B. Tofts;
Bench Show Committee, J. F. Holbrook, J. E. PreBton, C.
E. Font, J. H. Keifer, Tony Bright; Superintendent, H. W.
Wilson; Veterinary Surgeon, J. A. Edmonds.

The first show given oy the club in 1889 was given in con-
junction with a poultry association, and it was observed at
that time that the dogs attracted the crowds, and were the
main Eource of revenue, as is usually the caBe in such com-
bination affairs. This year it was resolved to give an inde-
pendent dog show, and the first day already passed gave
assurance that the idea was a wise one. The receipts on
Tuesday were $150. On Wednesday nearly twice that
amount. All departments of the show have been managed
with the utmost discretion, and the success of bench shows
in Los Augeles is assured. Several prominent San Francis-
cans had aoimala on exhibition, among tbem Mr. A. B.
Truman, Mr. Eugene J. Boy and Mr. J. B. Martin. The
show was attended by the fashionable people of the city
and vicinity.and was the thing of the day.even to the extent of
attracting visitors from Buch ultra suburbs aB Pasadena and
San Gabriel, Mr. Bobert T. Vandevort coming from the
former and Capt. A. B. Anderson and lady from the latter.

The officers of the club were all on hand and alert to meet
all possible inquiries and needs. The Superintendent was
Mr. H. W. Wilson, and a fine one he was; courteous, prompt
and firm. President H. T. Payne, Vice-President J. F. Hol-
brook, Secretary Benchley, Directors Tony Bright and C. E.
Font and Veterinary J. A. Edmonds must all be praistd for
effective service and constant attention.

Of the average quality of the dogs shown, too much can
hardly be said, when the conditions under which the show
was given are considered. Excepting the bix or seven San
Franoiaco entries, the exhibit wa3 purely a local one, and it
speaks loudly for the local fanciers, that one hundred and
thirty dogs of good breeding and points can be gathered in a
city of only one hundred thousand inhabitants, while San
FranciBCO, with its three hundred and fifty thousand dwel-
lers, drawing upon all sources, can bench but two hundred
and fifty dogs.

The leading exhibitor is Capt. A. B. Anderson, whose dogs
are all of excellent quality and well shown. He has mastiffs,
St. Bernards, pointers, collies, fox-terriers and pugeon show.
First in mastiffs was won by Mrs. Dorothea Lommis, of
Los AngeleB, with Amado (Chino Lion — Chino Beauty), a
dog of fair size, good points and able.

In bitches, Capt. A. B. Anderson took first with Atella A.
(Imperial Arno— Zslla M.), a small beast, but very typical and
good.

The greyhounds were strong, both in numbers and quality,
first in dogs going to J. W. Gordon's Leo, a handsome fawn.
In bitches, Mr. C. F. Holder, of Pasadena, had an easy win
with Dina, also a fawn.

Some Bplendid fox hounds were benched, the best yet seen
at a show in CaUfornia. The Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena
getting first in dogs with Melody, a b w and t flecked dog,
very nice.

In bitches, first also went to that club for Queen, a properly
marked and typical animal.

The pointers, heavy weights, were Mr. E. K. Bencbiey's
Kan Koo, getting first. In light weight good dogs, Mr. E. T.
Vandevorthad an easy win with Billy V. (Don — Drub) despite
his washed-out color.

Heavy weight bitches brought a new and good one to the
front in Mr. A. B. Truman's Queen Croxteth T., a clean, well
framed and handsomely marked Hninial.

Light weight bitches made lively competition between Mr.

A. B. Truman's Patti Croxteth T. and Dr. M. E. Tabor's
Babbetta (Mainspring — Dell). The latter is a recent impor-
tation, and is a clicker, clean, upstanding, of high quality,
beaatiful liver and while markings and excellent points'
although not quite the equal of Patti Croxteth.

In pointer dog pups, Caot. A. B. Anderson hftd things his
own way, winning with El Kio Bey (Climax— Baberta) He
also won in pointer bitch Dups with Susie Po6t a litter sister
to El Bio Key.

English setters were very good, first in dogs going to Mr.
J. F. Holbrook's Tom Payne, winner last year. In bitches'
Mr. H-«rry Kose's Princess Nellie Elgin got first.

The Irish setter dog class gave the bine ribbon to Mr. A.

B. Truman's Mike T., perfectly shown, and in bitches the
same gentleman won first with plenty to spare. Lady Eloho
T. looking better than ever, although Mr. E. J. Roy had fine
entries. The Gordon setters were excellent, first in dogs be-
iDg given to B. A. Breakey Jr. 'a Duke, winner last year, and
in bitches to Mrd. Edwin Cawston's Lady Lufton.

Notes.
Mr. Geo. T. Allender writes that his dogs are all well, and
the Derby entries doing nicely.

If the subscriber who recently expressed a deBire to have
a Newfoundland dog, will again send his address, we can
perhaps assist him.

The dog show at Los Angeles daring last week, was judged
in all classes by the Kennel Editor of this paper, which may
excuse seeming over sight to correspondents.

The San Francisco visiters to the Los Angeles dog show
were invited by Mr T. E. Walker to his delightful home "The
Tolteo" and given the freedom of the place.

Owners should not forget that entries to the Field Trials'
Derby close on June 1st, and that no entry will be received
without the forfeit, $5. Seven have already been made, and
the stake should number at least thirty.

A bit of news that will be generally relished, is that Mr.
Henry Wormington, of this city, who has been abroad for
some months, has retarned. A keener coarser, kinder man
or more likeable companion cannot be found.

man, a pointer dog puppy by Point (Don— Drab)— Qneen

by Mr. Schreiber to be very bright and nice.

The successful outcome of the Lob Angeles dog show has
caused some little talk among S.in Franciscans about giving
a show here in the fall. It does seem that a show might be
given and managed so judiciously as to clear expenses, even
if, it does not result in profit. "We hope the agitation will
continue.

Mr J. M. Kilgarif, Treasurer of the Paoific Coast Field
Trial Club, on Wednesday last embarked upon the sea Of
Monterey and the train for Los Angeles. We have known
"Kil." man and boy, for these many years, and can recall no
joining of futures in which both parties could more heartily
or confidently be congratulated.

A story comes to us that Mr. Geo. Rainey of Napa County
recently killed some deer hounds belonging to Mr. Andrew
Jackson of the Napa Soda Springs. It is stated that Mr.
RaiDey knew the dogs, and that they bad been raised with
eheep, and were absolutely harmless, bot finding them near
a band of sheep, he deliberately shot them. If the facts are
as stated, no condemnation can be severe enough to meet the
gravity of the offence. Even if taken in the act of worrying
sheep, the law gives no one a right to kill a dog. There is
another remedy and an adequate one. It the temptation to
kill a dog is so overpowering, could the owner of the dog be
blamed if his resentment led him to summary revenge
againBt the dog Blayer? "We would like to hear the Raioey
Bide of the affair.

ROD.

The ''Call" Scored.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Among the sporting
items of the Call in Sunday's issue, the 11th inst., appears
another false statement regarding the work now being done
by the North Pacific Land and Improvement Company at
the Glen Ellen Fishery. As this ib tot the first uncalled for
slur on the work being done here, the Call had tetter seek a
more reliable source for its informant n, if it wishes its utter-
ances to have any weight with the public.

The following is a statement of facts:

Every fish hatched here this season from eggs taken from
Sonoma Creek was put back into Sonoma Creek, and not
one was serjt to Lake or any other county, as misstated in
the Call. The North Pacific Land and Improvement Com-
pany purchased in the Stale of Nevada a large lot of fish
eggs, and hatched them here, and when ready placed them
in Robinson Creek, a stream emptying into Russian River.

The lot of eggs dow hatching here are to be placed when
ready in Sonoma Creek and Russian River and its tribota-
ries, unless the ceaseless whinings of the Bore heads cause
the Company to leave Sonoma Creek out entirely. As all
this work is done free of expense to the sportsmen or tbe
State, one would naturally think they would accept the grti-
tuity with thanks, instead of filling the Call's sporting col-
umns with false statement?.

The statement that the streams hereabout are decimated is
true, and the cause is equally palpable. The fish that laid
the golden egg has been killed during its breeding season by
poachers who followed them persistently to their destruciiou,
until tbe Fish Commissioners made some healthy examples.

The benefit of the work now being done here cannot of
course appear until next season or the season following, as
vour attention is called to the fact that tbe fish are not
hatched fully grown.

As to the matter of "salmon" and "salmon trout" and
"steel head salmon trout," etc , etc., the question has been
fully settled upon tbe highest authority, and the only per-
sons who still call our brook trout by these false names are
possibly those pseudonym sportsmen who eeek to destroy
them while spawning Alfrfd V. LaMotte.

Glen Ellen, May 12, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman;— I have recently sold to
Mr. George J. Harley, of your city, tbe Field Trial winning
dog Dan Gladstone, (Gladstone— Sue). Mr. Harley leaves
here to-nignt for Frisco accompanied by his dog, as Dan is to
be returned East in September. His services should be sc-
oured for some of your good bitches. I have seen the dog
and some of his get run recently and can recommend him.
I have sold that corking good dog Gatb's Mark to Mr. Henry
Hulman, of Terre Haute, Ind , whom I also sold, Fannie M,
NaDnie fct, Olivette, Rods Gal, I. X. L., all of which are

never selected for any one man before. The attached Hoes,
which are undoubtedly original with Dr. Maclin, were
tacked on Gatb's box when shipped. Am g'ad to report that
I am doing very well with my dog business and its encour-

THE FARM.

The Silver Grey Dorkingr-

No doubt the Dorking is one of the oldest of onr domes-
tic fowl*, if not the oldest. There are no definite records to
show when it was first bred in this country, or whenoe it
came, except in the latter case the supposition that it came
tons by the Ronuns, who evidently possessed a fowl with
somewhat similar characteristics. On this point Mowbray
says:

"Is undoubtedly a breed of great antiquity, having been
notioed and described in the first ceDtury of the Christian
era by Columella and Pliny and there seems fair grounds for
supposing that these birds were introduced into this conn-
try by the Romans, among whom they had attained at that
early period, some cslebrity, and were much esteemed; with
us bat few fowls can boast such high and long continued
reputation as the Dorkings. It has been suggested that
Shakespeare was acquainted with the superior qualities of
these fowls, and that he alludes to them in his Henry IV.,
when he makes Justice Shallow, of Glos'ter, order 'a couple
of short legged hens' for his guest's repast. The chief dis-
tinctive mark or characteristic of the breed is the presence
of a fifth, or supernumerary toe, springing behind, a little
above the foot, and below the spur. it has been sought by
various writers to deprive Dorking of the honor of being the
original and principal rearing place of this jnsily celebrated
variety; and it is asserted that the true Dorking fowls are
raised at Horsham, Cucktield, and other places in the Wenld
of Surrey; and that the ancient and superior -white fowls
from Dorking are a degenerated race compared with the 'im-
proved' Susses breed."

It has also been claimed that the Dorking doss not owe its
origination to Surrey or Sussex at all, but comes to us from
the north of England, for in Wingtield and Johnson's Poul-
try Book, published early in the fiftiep, we find it stated that
•'some writers have even ventured to assert that the native
place of the Dorking is among the Cumberland Hills. It is
certain that in that region is a race of fowls, five-toed, and
bearing other points of resemblance to the Dorking. These
are known in Cumberland as the 'Jew breed;' but it appears
to be called still farther north, 'the silver pheasant kind," and
at Eiinburgh, 'the old Scotch breed.'" In the same work a
quotation is made from the Gardener's Chronicle of 1S4S,
which says: . « , , ,

"This Jew kind is said to be very ancient in Cumberland;
and it is still very usual for the Lancashire men to carry off
any fine birds of this raca which they see among the moun-
tain cottagers. However, it would be a vain attempt to trace
the origin of a breed which was accurately described 2,000
years ago by a Roman writer; and, as Roman stations abound
in Cnmberlaud, it is quite possitle that a poultry-fancying-
prfetor, 1,503 years since, might send or carry in the same
year the first couple of Djrking fowls to the banks of the
1 Thames, and to the old camp at Ambleside or Castle Hill near
Keswick." „

Both the colored and the Silver Grey Dorkings have un-
doubtedly Bprung from the old gray variety, the colored be-
ing brought to their present form by a cross made by Mr.
John Douglass, while the Silver Greys have been produced
by careful selection of the light-colored and soundest silver-
plumaged birds. That being t^o, the claim that the Silver
Greys are the purer Dorking cannot be denied. It is cer-
tainly a very handsome fowl, having that square box Bhape
which is so characteristic of the Dorking race, and in good
specimens the plumage is rich ia color. It is thought that
as a rule the Silver Grey does not attain the same size as
the colored, but I have often seen birds of one variety jost
as large as tha other, and there can be no doubt as to the ca-
pacity for fattening of these fowh. It is often said that the
Dorking is rut a hardy fowl. This is, however, misleading.
The Dorking cannot certainly be kept on any soil, or in any
place, and damp, cold.ground is fatal to it. But the fact that
it is so largely bred in the north of Scotland, away in the ex-
treme north of Ireland among the Cumberland hills, and in
numberless places which are cold and exposed, Bhows that it
is a hardy fowl in all respects save one — that it is unable to
withstand damp, clay soils. No matter how cold the place
may be so iong'as it is dry and free from clay; it will do well,
at least that is the experience in this country. It is a fair
layer, as good aB are any of the Dorking family, makes a
capital sitter and an attentive "biddy," and, of course, is one
of the finest fowls that can be found on the table. This is
partially due to the readiness with which it will fatteD, for
without thiB quality it would be impossible to ripen the flesh
as is now done. The flesh is exquisitely white, and very del-
icate in its texture. In fact, it is difficult to imagine a finer
fowl on the table than the Dorking, and it is equal to nearly
all the best French varieties, though I am inclined to think
that the La Bresse and La Fleche sometimes surpass it,
though they would never do so if the same system of fatten-
ing was adopted here as in the districts of France where these
two varieties of fowl are so largely bred. Nowadays there
are vast multitudes of fowls sold in London as Surrey or
Sussex, which have simply been fattened in those counti a,
but were never bred there and have not a trace of Dorking
blood in their veins. But the system of fattening is bo ex-
cellent that they may make fair birds, though of course, not
to be compared with the splendid fat Dorkings which the
best poulterers supply.

The advice which must be tendered to those who think of
keeping Dorkings is that they should first consider whether
the place they have is suitable, for unless this the ca9e, they
are better left alone. Then second, the demands of the mar-
ket or the needs of the poultry-keeper muBt be regarded. If
the demand is for table fowls nothing could be better, pro-
vided that anything like a fair price oan be obtained for them,
a3 it woo Id not pay to breed Dorkings to sell at three shil-
lings a coaple. If eggs are chiefly in demand, Dorkings would
be of no use, as they are only moderate layers. The egg is
large in size, and very tine in flavor, the shell being pure
white. Ab a proof of the value of this variety ol the Dorking
it may be mentioned that it is growing rapidly in favor in
France, where it i 3 highly esteemed for its economic quali-
ties. The other varieties of the Dorking are scarcely to be
met with across the English channel.

The following are the points of color in Silver Grey Dor-
kings:

Cock. — Head, silvery white; backle, pure silvery white, as
free from Btripes as possible; comb, face, earlobes and wat-
tles, bright c Till red ; beak, horn or white; eye, orange; breaBt
thighB and underparts, black; Back, shoulder coverts, saddle
and wing bow, pure silvery white; ooverts, greenish black;
primaries blaok, edged with white; secondaries, part of outer
web forming "wing bay," white; remainder of f rat hers form-
ing wing butt, black; tail, greenish, glossy black; legs, feet
and toe nails, white.

Hen.— Eye, beak, comb, face, wattles, legs, feet and toe
nails, same as in the cook; head, silvery white, with slight
grey marking; hackle, silvery white, clearly striped with black
breast, rich robin red or salmon red, shading off to grey on
lower parts,- back, shoulder coverts, saddle, wing bow and
wing coverts, bright silvery grey, with minute penciling of
darker grey on each feather; the shafts of the feathers white;
primaries, grev or black; secondaries, grey; tail, grey of a

Does Raisins Poultry Pay?

We have often been asked, Does it pay to raise poultry?
It is just as reasonable to ask us, Does it pay to engage in
business pursuits? Some men fail and some succeed. If
asked this question, Jay Gould or RuBBell Sage would say
that it did pay, while the ninety-five per cent of all the ad-
vertisers who annually fall by the wayside would report dis-
couragingly. If one has adaptability, perseverance, intelli-
gence, and a proper sense of the value of the de'ails. success
will follow effort; but slipshod, inexperieoced experimentors
will unquestionably fail. Too much iB expected from slight
investments and indifferent attention to minor duties of the
business. The tendency of the age is the desire to do a big
business and reap large profits on small investments. Men
who imagine that they can grow amazingly rich in a few
years in raising fancy poultry without much effort shcnld
stay out of the business entirely, unless it is treated as an
exclusive business with appropriate investment of money and
time. We need only address the class who wish to engage
in it in a moderate way. To puch persons we would say
poultry can be made to pay a handsome percentage of xorofit.
Boys and girls on the farm where but slight expense is need-
ed to procure houses, and where feed can be obtained cheap-
ly, may Burely expect success if they start with the right kind
of stock. But in order to know just what is gained, a Btrict
account of everything that is consumed — every hour's work
performed — should be kept; the eggs and meat whether eaten
by the family or sent to the market, should be credited to
the stock at ruling prices; in Bhort, book accounts must be
opened, and the business be conducted on business i:>rinciple3.
Experience of that character will be beneficial in more ways
than one —Jason Ellais, in Southern Farmer.

1 he Angora Goat.

Though we find indications in the old testament which
make it appear that the Angora goat had already existed in
Asia and Asia Minor at and before King Solomon's time and
aB the Golden rrleece of the aDcient Greeks most likely was
nothing else but an Angora goat skin of a bright yellowish
color, yet the first positive knowledge of this valuable ani-
mal's existence was not received in Europe before the middle
of the sixteenth century, from a description of Father Belon,
then travelingin Asia Minor.

The Angora goat, however, does not appear to have been
indigenous to Asia Minor: but according to traditions in the
goat districts of that country, it came from Central Asia.
This seems very probable, as the very tribe who are now
principally carrying on the mohair goat husbandry came, ac-
cording to the mosi. prominent Orientalist, originally from
the southern border of Siberia. Be this as it may, the ani-
mal, as it presents itself to us to-day was first found by Eu-
ropeans in the Asiatic peninsula, had existed there in large
numbers for thousanda of years, and we may therefore con-
sider that country as its proper home.

The shape of a perfect Angora goat, when in full fleece,
should appear like a right-angled square (parallelogram).
The body Bhould be full and long, and of Btraight build. It
should be densely and evenly covered with fine, curly and
lustrous silky hair, appearing from a distance as if it had
been trimmed off below the body. The chest and shoulders,
especially with the male animal, should be broad and strong;
the legs straight and chunky; the head clean cut and trim,
not coarse like that of the common goat. The horns of the
buck are long and strong, inclined towards the back, and of
spiral-like Bhape, some almost perfect spirals* the horns of
the ewea, short and thin and curved backward. Hornless
Angoras exist but are rare. The ears are almost always
what are commonly called "lop-ears," and differ very much
in size; those of Borne animals are over a foot long and about
four inches wide. However, the existence of so-called "fox
ears" or "mouse ears" is by no means an evidence of impur-
ity of blood.

When first born the kid is covered with short, curly, white
hair, looking veiy much like Astrachan fur only coarser.
This hair, however, grows but little, and the kid begins to
lose it Bbortly after the mohair has made its appearance, and
in its stead a very short straight hair begins to grow between
the mohair, which only rarely gruWB long enough to be
touched by the shears at clipping time. — Stock Grower.

Swine Raising.

Mmia^empiu ot Pigs After Weaulng Time.

After the sow has had her young she should be given food
that she can easily digest. At first it is best to feed her
lightly, and then gradually increase the amount of food she
gets as the strain becomes greater on her. Sickness should
be guarded againBt both in the mother and her young, and
the best protections against disease are pure air and sunshine-
They Bhould have a good warm pen with a yard attached.
The young pigs should be taught to feed themselves as soon
as possible. The trough Bhould be a shallow, flat bottomed
one, so arranged that the sow cannot get to it. The food of
the young pigs should consist first of milk, then of middlings,
oatB, or barley meal mixed with warm milk. They may be
weaned gradually at the end of six or eight weeks, and a little
oil meal, and alBO corn and pea maal, may be added to their
food. Their growth should now be puahpd along as fnst as
possible, and they Bhould be led regularly, say about five
times a day, but only given as much as they will eat up clean
each time. A little salt may bb added. Care should be taken
that they are fed regularly as much as they will eat. Green
oats pulled up by the rootB is a good form of green food for
tbem, as is also green clover, and it is well to have a pasture
field or yard provided for the pigs to run in. They should
not be fed on foods too fatteuing in their nature, such aB
corn, when growing, a* a young pig will not grow well if too
fat; but they should be given green food principally, as this
will supply materials for the building of bone and growing of
muscle. — Montsna Farming and Stock Journal,

Fat Saps Vitality.

W. E. Pendleton says: Showmen of hogs at the fairs hurt
their stock by excessive fattening. Should an exhibition of
breeding stock be turned into a fat stock Bhow? A breeder
anxious to make a fine display frequently fattens his swine
for weeks in advance, and it takes months to reduce tbem
again to good breeding condition. I Iobi more than I gained
by this error last year. Two of my sows shown laBt year lost
their litters of pigs. The pigs were small, weak and puny.
The sows had no room to grow and mature pigs; they were
too fat. Farrowing caused great pain, the sows were clumsy
had little milk and were faulty in many ways, while usually
these very animals have done woll. The boars were lazy and
their offspring weakened. But how are breeders to give up
the foolish practice? At the fairs, the judges demand fat
breeding hogs. One of my boars at a fair scored high, but
was severely cut by the judges because he lacked flesh. I
had taken ppecial pains to keep him from being fat, because
I wanted good pigs. There 1b a happy medium between
showing for fat stock and for breeders, and the quicker we
get there toe better. Showing in fair working condition, not
too fat. nor by any meanB too poor, is better for all. This
would be just as fair for one breeder as another and would
not ruin Btock. If it be necessary to show what the breed
will produce for the pork barrel, let us have a little side ehow
for fat animals at each fair. — Montana Farming Stock Jour-
nal.

Protectionists Tire of the Sheep and Turn to
Poultry.

The sheep has perversely refused to respond to the nur-
turing band of protection. His fleece has been heavily "pro-
tected" for the past quarter of a century, bnt the obdurate
animal has refused to keep pace with increased population
and increased demand for his wool. Forty years ago there
was a sheep a piece in the country for everyone. Now we
are short 20.00('l000 i-h?ep of enough to go rcuui.

There is evidence that the incapacity of the sheep to de-
monstrate the efficacy of protection is turning the minds of
protectionists against him and in an other direction. The
Committee on Ways and Means have their eyes on the hen.
It is a well known fact that this unpretending creature adds
every year more to the wealth of the country than do all the
sheep in it. She has done this thing in complaining com-
petition with foreign hens. Instead of bleating lament over
the injustice done her, she has gone about her task with cack-
ling complacence. This fact is no longer to go unrecognized.
There is to be a tariff imposed upon eggs. The hen is to be
cherished as Bhe well deserves, and her eggs are to be added
to the list of things made dearer and more prtcious by pro-
tection. Republics are not ungrateful.— Philadelphia Re-
cord.

Treatment of Milk Fever.

The fear of milk fever in cowb creates much aDxiety with
some dairymen. It can generally be avoided by diet before
parturition and for a few days after, but not many take this
precaution. It is only when confronted with actual cases
that many owners bestir themselves to do anything for the
animals. Then unless a veterinary practitioner is convenient
the cow usually dies; and when the disease has progressed
far it is an even chance with his assistance that the patient
recovered. Formerly when managing cows I kept cer;ain
remedies on hand. I have treated successfully three casts,
one of them almost hopeless. The remedies 1 used, and how,
I give below: Homoeopathic tinctures of aconite, belladon-
na, nux vomica, arsenicum album and ammonium caustioum.
These were given in ten drop doses, each put in atablespoon-
ful of water and placed far back on the tongue. At first
aconite and belladonna were administered in alternation
every two hours as long as symptoms of pain were exhibited.
If the animal bloated, and they generally do, I discontinued
these for a time and gave one dose of ammonium, which re-
lieved the bloat every time, and then returned to the former
treatment if there was still evidence of pain. When that h-id
ceased I gave arsenicum once an hour for five hours, an 1
followed this with nux vomica in two, three, four, five and
six hours. 'I he treatment should be varied according to the
'ensemble" of the symptoms, bearing in mind that aconite
tends to allay fever, belladonna the Becretion of milk, ammo-
nium to reduce bloat, and arsenicum and nux vomica have
a tendenoy to strengthen, each to be given as the symptoms
indicate. While it is advisable to call a veterinary practi-
tioner it is well to keep these remedies on hand for use when
one cannot be bad. The Homceophatic physiciau can furnish
the remedies, and while he might advise additional curatives
in some casea he will know these are proper to be giveu as j
recommended. A further thought is. they oan do no harm, j

The Trail in Texas Stopped by Stockmen.

The day of the Texas trail is about over. The Btookmen o( )
southeastern Colorado have taken their Winchester rifles in I
band to inform the drovers of the Bea lion district that they j
are well and hope that these few lines will find them the)
same. They go on to say that they object to having their I
rancbeB made a road of, and discuss the side matter of die- j
ease germs, bacilli, miorobes and distempers. In other words \
the Colorado cattlemen pay that sanitary law or no sanitaiy I
law the Texas cattle shall not pass through their ranches iJ ]
aeveral hundred men with lead and dynamite can head tbem \
off. This would be moat discouraging to the gentle drover
from Texas were it not for the consolation that cuttle con hi
shipped by rail Recording to bw. and arrive at their destina- i
tion quicker and in better shape. Considering the trouble. ■
delay and opposition it is really better and cheaper to ship
than to trail. The trail is gone, the rail is here.— Las Vegas

Grim's Gossip.

"I told you so; a mare cannot win the Brooklyn Handi-
cap."

Next week we will present a list of the entries to the Oak-
land Association.

Almont Eagle, 2:27, full brother to Piedmont, 2:17}, will
be sent to reduce his record this season.

Mr. Hamlin of Village Farm is evidently prepared to put
more thoroughbred blood yet into his trotting stock. At the
Belle Meide 6ale he bought a two-year-old filly by Iroquois,
a mare by Glenelg, and another by Planet. These he will
doubtl ss breed to Chimes by Electioneer, in hopes of emu-
lating the success attained at Palo Alto.

All reports to the contrary, notwithstanding, the fastest
full mile that Direct has made this year is 2:25,

Senator Stanford has fully determined to sell no more
Electioneers at present. This should send the market still
higher.

"Big Jim" Garland Matt Storo, E F. Smith, Ab Stemler
Isadore Townsend, "Wilbur F. Smith and General Hart, were
all down from Saoramento on Thursday.

It is now claimed in Indiana that Roy Wilkes will make
bis last season East this year, and that henceforth the pac-
ing stallion will have California as a home.

The A. W. Eichmond fillies at the Hill sale averaged $427.
The day is not far distant when Richmond mares will be
worth many times what tbey broaght at the sale.

Mr. F. D. Meyers of Oakland, who has purchased a num-
ber of brood mares in the East, will ship them to their Cal-
ifornia home, toward the latter part of this month.

OwnerB of pacers should bear in mind the §1000 offered by
the Breeders' Association for the 2:20 sidewheelers. This
will be a great contest, and it will be a hard matter to pick
the winner.

The Kentucky Derby was run on Wednesday last, and the
winner turned np in Ed Corrigan's Riley. Thomas Francis
Meagher was heard to observe to Matt Storn, "This is a great
day for the Irish."

Mr. "William Ashby, of Oakland, reports that bis Almont
stallion. Ashland Almont 3431, has received a fine lot of
mares and that this will be the last season for him to stand
at the present price.

Electioneer has still another of his get to bring him honor,
as on May 1st Suisun, made her first mark of 2:25£. This
makes the first three horses to enter the 2:30 list in 1890,
all of California birth.

It is rumored that Mr. Wm. Eussell Allen, one of the own
ers of the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, is considering the idea
of erecting a new hotel at Lexington, Ky., where additional
hotel accommodations are badly needed.

Just before going to press, word was received from our
Nashville correspondent that he considers it extremely
doubtful if Et Eio Eey will ever start in a race again. This
is bad news indeed, and it is to be hoped tbat "Kenneeaw"
is mistaken in his belief. Throat tronble is at the bottom, of
this, so it would appear that his last winter's ailment was
worse than at first supposed.

Many complaints have been heard because the Brooklyn
programme books can not be had in San FraDcisco, but the
reason is, Secretary Mclntyre has been seriously ill, and the
Paoific slope has been overlooked in the distribution.

Guenoc Stock Farm is again in luck as a full brother to St.
Savior has lowered the vicorious colors of Badge, the mighty
sprinter. Eon is the name of the new candidate for turf
honors, and he promises to keep up the great reputation of
his family.

A gentleman who was present at the recent sale of Nelson
I stock in BoBton says that the yarn printed in a New York

paper regarding a heated argument between C. H. Nelson and
| Myrtle Downing ovot the Balck stallion race did not contain

one trnthful statement.

Sam Bryant thinks more attention should be paid to breed-
ing jockies. He says the cross should be sire Irish, dam En-
glish to stay, and Jew for canning- All the dare devil riders
are Irish, the English are bull dogs for hanging on, and
Providence favors the Jews.

Fannie Wither-poon. 2:16J. has had a fine horse colt by
Notwood 600, and the little fellow, on looks, promises to be
bS fast as either his sire or his dam. Marcus Daly only needs
a first class trainer and driver to make his Bitter Eoot Farm
as well known as any in the country.

When Scott Quintin was out on the coast a few months
ag">, he told me that Yolo Maid was under the weather, and
might not be seen on aoy track this year. Information now
comes from Anaconda that the celebrated mare is once more
all right, and Dr. Bovett says "she is as fine as silk."

The Brooklyn Handicap for 1890, has been run and a rank
outsider, Castaway II proved the winner. One well known
gentleman in San Francisco won about $2,500 on the result.
Almost all the talent backed Los Angeles on account of the
heavy track, but she failed to come up to expectations.

Speaking of the statement that Emperor of Norfolk was to
be brought Eist later in the season. Bob Thomas, his for-
mer trainer, said: "I will bet 55,000 to $250 that Emperor of
Norfolk will never win another public race, and another hon-
dred that he iB never shipped out of California to run in
one."

On May 10th, at Pleasanton, Maude 2;20 gave birth to a
black horse colt by Director 2;17. This little gentleman has
the proper kind of breeding behind him to warrant the belief
that he should be a grand addition to the promising family
of young Directors that have made their app?arance this
teason.

A letter from Gravesend says that D. L. MtCarty's Pan-
dora did her first work on the track a week ago Thursday
morning. She showed Bomewhat of a Bulkinesa of temper.
A good looking bay filly, by Stanford — Lady Glasgow, also
in the same Btable, made her first appearancs in company
with Pandora.

Mr, C. C. Seaman of San Diego has, so it is claimed, the
, only living stallion foal by Bell Boy, foaled iulS89. The
little fellow has been named Ding Dong. His dam is by Wat-
kill Chief, (aire of Dick Swiveller 2:18) 2nd dam by Henry
Clay. Report speaks very highly of thi6 well bred youngster,
and his owner iB jnstly proud of him.

Frank Baldwin, Manager of the Fresno Track, has paid a
visit to San Diego, to assist in arranging a programme, for
the opening of the Coronado Beach track in July. It would
be a good plan for the owners to secure the services of Mr.
Baldwin as manager for the occasion, as he would materially
' in making the opening a snecesa.

A well known driver, while in the office a few days ago,
stated that if Norlaine's yearling record was to be broken this
season, that there is a strong probab lity that Sidena owned
by Capt. B.E. Harris will be the one to do it. Report speaks
very highly of this little lady and she is known to be fast,
however 2:31 J is a low mark to aim for, but then one can
never tell what each new generation will do.

Race goers are apt to compliin of what is known as "race
track whisky" and there is often good grounds for the grumb-
ling. However if the leasees of bar rooms will keep a stock
of "Jesse Moore" on hand the discontent will soon be a thing
of the past, for tbat well known brand always gives satis-
faction. Moore Hunt & Co., have an advertisement in this
issue, so retailers can rind out where to send in orders.

Mr. Yalensio has sent two fine Sidney yearlings to the
educational college of James A. Dnstin at the Bay District
Track. Tbey are both of them very fast, one of tbem hav-
ing shown quarters in 40 seconds before leaving the farm.
These candidates for honors are named Deana by Sidney,
dam Miss Helen by Gov, Benton, 2nd dam Nettie George by
Norfolk; the other being called Sid Fleet, she being a full
sister to Fleet 2;24.

Mrs. Isabelle Coombs, mother of Frank L, Nathan and
William H. Coombs died May 1st, on the steamship New
York, while returning from a trip to Panama. The lady had
been in bad health for some time, and it was thought that a
bob voyage would be beneficial. The body was enbalmed
and brought to this port, from whence it was sent to Napa.
The family have the sincere sympathy of all freinds in their
sad bereavement.

Chas. R Boppin, f jrmer owner of Yulo Maid, writes me
that the young 6tock in his neighborhood are all looking and
doing well. Geo. Woodard is exercising Bell Button, 2:20,
Button Jr., and several other good ones. The two mentioned
are moving nicely, and the mare has improved considerably
since last year. As the free-for-all pacing race has been
declared off, there is a probability that Belle will be entered
in the 2:20 class.

The varioos agricultural associations are competing with
each other in offering liberal purses for the trotting fraternity
this year. San Jose, not to be outdone by its rivals, has
sent a lot of entry blanks to this office, and by them,
it may be seen that the Directors offer $1,200 for the three
minute class, §1,200 for the 2;30 class, and ©600 for the 2:30
class of pacers. If you have an animal fit for any of these
purses send to this office for an entry blank.

Mr. L. A. Richards of Grayson, Stanislaus County, is al-
ways on the lookout for something good, and lately he has
added to his stable the chestnut colt, Diablo 11404, by Charles
Derby 4907, dam bv Alcantara 2:23, 2nd dam by Bayard 53;
3rd dam Blandina by Mambrino Chief II; 4th dam (the dam
of Eoselind 2:2', and Donald 2:27) by Parker's Brown Pilot.
In this colt, Mr. Richards has secured a grand individual,
one that should make a good cross for his Elector tillies.

Some time ago I called attention to the age of Sidney 4770,
it being argued by those who claimed to kaow, that the great
sire was only eight years old instead of nine, as claimed in
Wallace's Register. Col. P. A Finigan has kindly furnished
the following information, which puts the disputed point at
rest. Sweetness was sent to Santa Clans in 1830, and wbs
served February 5tb, 14th, 24th and March 4th. The colt
Sidney was foaled in 18S1, so the register is right as it at
present stands.

Andy McDowell has bought for the Pleasanton Stock
Farm Co., from M. Henry of Haywards, one-half interest in
the stallion Decorator, by Director 2:17, dam Chess by Cardi-
nal, he by Gen. Gilford's Morgan;dam of Cardinal, tired by
Joe Gales of Ohio, he by Marlborough oat of the Ducbe^s of
Marlborough by Southern Eclipse; second dam old Dachess
of Marlborough by Sir Archy; third dam by imp Diomed.
Decorator's Becond dam a Morgan and Messenger mare. The
price paid for the interest was $4,500.

The following horses were declared out of the Great Eclipse

eligible to start. Value of stake (with 30 starters) $30,535.

Tybalt, the trained moose, owned by Francis Dunlap, of
Montpelier, Idaho, has trotted a mile in 3:30. Dunlap is eag-
er to match the moose to trot a race of one mile and repeat
against any horse in America in the 3:00 class, the stakes to
be from S500 to SI, 000 a side. The moose is one of the sport-
ing sensations at Montpelier. Tybalt was lasRoed 13,000 ft.
above the sea in the Teton Mountains, Wyoming Territory,
He is 2 years 6 months old, stands 5 feet 6 inches in height,
and weighs 600 pounds. He is well broken to harness can
trot single or double, and has shown great speed. He will
drop on his knees at command, jump 5 feet in height or over
a mustang, and has been trained 19 months.

In conver-ation with a prominent breeder from the laud
east of the Rocky Mountains a few days ago, he incidentally
stated that he thought it extremely probable that Axtell'a
three-year-old stallion record wbb in danger, as he had seen a
phenomenal burst of speed by a three-year-old stallion dur-
ing his visit to the coast. I tried to make him commit him-
self by saying that Sand's time was also liable to be beaten,
but he would not go that far, yet still he Baid it would not
surprise him if 2:104 were lowered by the colt he had seen
speeded. This is corroborative of what I stated three weeks
ago. The gentleman's Dame is Mr. Fleming, owner of Strath-
more 408, Red Bell, 2:17, and Nil Desperandum 1389.

Impudence and cheek carries many persons long journeys,
but for the champion man of "gall" commend me to Noble
the owner of Alcryon. He has now sued the National Trot-
ling Association and President P. P. Johnston for $25,000
each, claiming that his reputation has suffered to that extent.

Last week a'tention was called to the rumor prevalent that
Roby, 2:19£, was dead. I heard the report too late to verify
or deny the news, but since then Mr. Corbitt has called and
denied the story, but showed how the rumor started. Rubina
Wilkes, a yearling daughter of Roby, by Gay Wilke°, died
last week, and the owner tells me he bad refused S20.000 for
her. She had proved that her speed was remarkable, and
Mr. Corbitt was aware that he had a yearling second to none
in the country. The filly had been exercised iu the new
kindergarten track, and the owner thinks she was given so
much work tbat she became dizzy, and fell on her head. At
least when an autopsy was held, coagulated blood was found
at the base of the brain.

Now there is no use trying to disguise the fact that the
country is rapidly becoming overstocked with inferior ani-
mals. In many instances theBe animals have excellent ped-
igrees. The day is at baud when pedigree, unless accom-
panied by individual merit, will connt for but little. The
lesson which young breeders should learn is to breed for
quality aod individual merit, as well as pedigree. There is
more proit in the product of one first-class broodmare than
in ten inferior ones. It will not pay to breed from inferior
mares, and the man who patronizes eeoond and third-clasB
stallions will find horse-breeding up hill work, no matter how
rich a pedigree the owner of the worthless animal may be
able to show. Young breeders, heed the lesson! Breed'only
from first-class mares and to first class Btallions. There will
be blanks even then. — Horse Breeder.

The Directors of the Stockton Fair have secured special
passenger rates for those who may visit the "slough citj"

Two-thirds round-trip rates for passengers from all points
between and including BakersfielH, San Jose, San Francisco,
Marysville, lone, Los Banos, Valley Springs, Milton and
Oakdale to Stockton.

A special passenger train will leave San Francisco on Sat-
urdav, September 27th, at 7:30 a. m ; morning, leaves
Stockton at 6:30 P. M.

Tickets will be on sale at all points as above noted, good
for passage to Stockton, beginning Monday, St ptember 22d,
and to retnrn to point of issuance up to and including Sun-
day, October 5, 1S90.

No stop-over privileges allowed on these tickets.

England has at last "caught on," and the trotting fever is
now sweeping over great Britain. At Alexandria Park, Lon-
don, a trotting meeting was held on May 5th, at which
the American system of tinniug was introduced. The
meeting was a great success, and there was a big gathering of
spectators. There was some heavy betting in favor the Arab
horse Little Sioax, driven by K*lley, and Barnum's Boston
Boy, both of whom were badly beaten, the race, which was
for a challenge cup, ron in mile heats, being won by Harry
Walker in 2:37, three seconds ahead of the previous English
record.

Tom Kirby, as an inducement to Americans, has offered
lb 100 to the owner of any horse who trots a mile in 2:30,
either in harness or under the saddle, and guarantees the
sale of the horse for a big price.

The Kensal Green Driving Club proposes to construct a
new crack, which will be the first specially constructed one
in England.

George ha=? broken down completely, and it is probable she
will never be trained again, says Vigilant in the Spirit. Mr.
Frank Clark brought the news to us at Elizabeth on Satur-
day last, he having come dlreot from Coney Island, where
the black mare is trained. From all we have since learned
the mare began hanging out signals of distress a fortnight
ago, and has not been at exercise since the 26 nit., bat, like
all trainers, Allen hatei to be convinced that there was no
hope. We think it probable that the black Ai glo-Californ-
ian was one of the speediest mares up to a mile and a fur-
long we have seen in some time. Her stamina is doubted by
many, but she was badly ridden several times when she
might have established it. She is bred muob like Seabreeze,
the English St. Leger winner of 1S8S, being by Isononiy from
a Hermit mare, and all horsemen pray that Gov. Stanford
will not waste her iu experiments of breeding her to trotting
stallion-;, as she is a mare fit to woo the lovers of kings, such
as Longfellow, Iroquois or Hindoo.

looked forward to with a great deal of interest by racing men
and the catalogues are eagerly scanned by prospective buy-
ers. This year the sale will take at Hunts Point and one
hundred yearling thoroughbreds, will pass under the ham-
mer. The lot this year will consist of a full sister to Dew-
drop, a foil sister to Madge L., a half sister to Morristown,
a half sister to Dannie Lizzie, a half brother to Ban Fox and
King Fox (by imp St. Blaise), a half brother to Kempland, a
half brother to Bavarian, a half brother to Geronimo, a half
brother to Ingleside, a half sister to Pearl L. and Waoderoo,
a full brother to Sir John, a fnll sister to MoDsoon and Muci-
lage, a full sister to Marie Lovell and Milton, a half sister to
Nioena, a full brother to Tournameut, a half brother to C.
H, Todd and Sorrento, a full brother to Fanny J., a half sis-
ter to So So, a half brother to Priscilla, a half sister to Star-
light, Hiawassee and Housatonic, a foil sister to Majjr Daly,
a half sister to Masterlode, a half brother to Cruiser, a half
sister to Ballarat, a full sister to Wyndham, a half sister to
Hotspur and a half sister to Trade Mark.

One good thing has been gained by our publishing the list
of those who are under suspension by the two trotting asso-
ciations. Names of persons have been sent broadcast as
being under a ban, when in reality qaite a number of those
whose nnmes have been published, have had settlement long
ago. In addition to those already spoken of who claim that
they have clean records, W. H. E. Smith states that he was
suspended at Oikland for non-payment of entrance money,
his horse, Ralph Bngbee, having been taken sisk, so that he
coold not start. The horse recovered, and was about to be
started at Rohnerville, when objection was made that owner
and horse was under suspension. The wires were brought
into requisition, and Seoretary Vail telegraphed to the 9th
District Agricultural Association that if Smith paid three
hundred and some odd dollars, the horse might 6tart. Mr.
Smith paid the mouey to Seth Crabtree, tbe Secretary of the
Association, and was allowed to start. Mr. Vail has never
taken Mr. Smith's name off the black list, notwithstanding
the money was paid. The present Secretary, Mr. M. M,
Morse, should inquire into this matter.

the associate editor of Wallace's Monthly was arrested for
complicity in the matter, but he waB almost immediately dia
charged as there was no proof against him. I am heartily
glad that my old companion has come out of the matter with

TrottiDfi: Horse Breeders' Association.

Last Friday afternoon a meeting of the Directors of
the Trotting Horse Breeders' Association was held at
this office for the purpose of looking over the entries
which bad been received for the purses, advertised to
close on May 1st.

In addition to the President, J. H. White, Esq., there
were also present Wilfred Page, F. H. Burke, Gilbert
Tompkins, G. Valensin and F. L. Coombs.

On motion, the reading of the minutes of the last
meeting was dispensed with; and after looking over the
entry list for the various stakes and purses, the follow-
ing ones were declared filled.

The Trotting Stake for three year-olds, foals of 1887,
eligible to the 2;40 class with §300 added.

the 2:22 class.

The Nomination TrottiDg Purse of $1,500 eligible to
the 2:27 class.

On motion it was also ordered that the following races
be declared not filled:

$2,000 Stallion Purse eligible to the 2:18 class.

Free-for-all, purse $2,000.

lost.

A motion was made by Mr. Burke and seconded by
Mr. Page that the next race meeting of the Association
be given between the dates of October 7th and October
18th, which was carried.

On motion the Secretary was instructed to ascertain
what track association would add the most money to
have the annual meeting take place on their grounds.

A motion was made by Mr. Burke ard seconded by
Mr. Coombs that thft Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breed-

bers of the Association.

On motion the meeting adjourned subject to the call
of the Chair.

"Marvin's Book."

We have received by mail a copy of Mr. Marvin's new
work, entitled ,vTrainiug the Trotting Horse," which not
only contains all of the best points which experience has
brought tim, but also contains a full and detailed ac-
count of what is known as the Palo Alto method. Time
has not allowed a full and complete perusal of the work,
but from a hasty glance it warrants the statement that
Mr. Marvin has placed on the market a work superior
^0 any hitherto issued. While quite a number of chap-
ters are devoted to historical data, giving full accounts
of many now celebrated races, still ample space is allot-
ted to education, veterinary, [shoeing and the proper
course to pursue in preparing the trotting horse for cam-
paign work.

While the book will prove invaluable to the young
student, there is hardly a man engaged in the horse
business but what can find something that may prove
beneficial in his business. The kindergarten work is ful-
ly explained, as is also the common injuries and ailments
from which a horse in training is liable to suffer, and
many first class remedies for the more ordinary ail-
ments are given.

The question of breeding has not been neglected, as a
very readable chapter is given on Mr. Marvin's theory
of "thoroughbred in the trotter." As can be surmised, he
pays an exceedingly graceful tribute to Electioneer and
says that he believes him to be the greatest of all trot,
ting sires. The writer also has a good word for many of
the other California sires.

SpeakiDg of what is known as the Palo Alto
method, Mr. Marvin says: "Governor Stanford ex-
plained to me his ideas of training, fully outlining a the-
ory, the general principles of which are those now fol-
lowed at Palo Alto, and which is properly called the
*Palo Alto System.' He explained the advantages he
saw in the 'brush plan' of teaching a horse to trot fast.
He did not believe that the best way to teach a horse
speed was by incessant jogging or working mile after
mile in a drilling way. Oa the other hand, he contended
that by sending a horse short distances nearly up to his
limit but not far enough to tire him, allowing him to
get his breath between dashes, he would make speed
faster, and do his work with eagerness, a spirit and rel-
ish. He saw that speed was the great essential and that
the best results would be attained by making speed and
then conditioning the horse to carry it, rather than by
drilling him into condition without first teaching him to-
trot at a high rate."

We can conscientiously recommend all horsemen who
are readers of the Breeder akd Sportsman that they
will get their money's worth by subscribing for Mr.
Marvin's wort.

Los Angeles Association.

In former years it has usually been the custom of the
Los Angeles Association to finish up the California
grand circuit, but this year they have reversed the order I
of things and claim for their summer meeting Augus*. I
4th to 9th inclusive. By the time the horses have usually
gotten through the section of the circuit which lies with I
in a circle of one hundred miles of San Francisco, the
animals are nearly worn out and require rest, so conse- i
quently the City of the Angels has not had as large a
representation in entries as they otheiwise would have J
had and it is probable that that is the reason why they
have selected an early date and taken the initial position
in the circuit for the year 1890.

Fifteen thousand dollars in all will be given in purses
stakes and premiums, and a speed programme has I
been prepared which will compare favorably with I
any given by any other Association. Four races I
a day seems rather a long card, but undoubtedly |
if time be not wasted between heats there will
bB ample opportunity to dispose of their lengthy t
programmes. It would not be surprising if many 1
of the horsemen of California should not only make en- I
tries but take their horses down to the Southern city J
early enough to prepare them for campaign work. Thel
track will be put in the most perfect order, and every fa- I
cility will be afforded those who wish to go there for the j
purpose of training.

Entries for the 230 purse and District Trotting Stakes*
close June 16th, and for everything else July 1st. Thel
purses are large and will beyond doubt, receive hearty \
support from those who will start the circuit at Los An- f
geles. The following is the list of the races that wily t
take place each day.

MONDAY, AUGUST 4TH.

Trottine, three-minute class, best three in five; district, L
§500 added.

Trotting, 2:30 cla^s-. free for all, $1,500 added.

added.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 5TH,

Trotting, two-year-olds, heats best two in three; $250 H
added.

Pacing, 2:35: district; $500 added.

Running, Edwards and McKnight Stake; two-year-olds, ;
half mile, $150 added.

Nadeau Hotel Handicap; $1,000 purse; one and a quarter1
miles.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6tII,

ded.

Running, sweepstakes, 2 year-olds, five-eighths of a mild,
$300 added.

Running, California Handicap, three-quarters of a mile,
§1,000 purse.

FRIDAY, AUGUBT 8TH.

Trotting, 2:20 class; free for all, §1000 purse.
TrottiDg, 2:50 class; district, §500 added.
Running. Flyaway stakes, half-mile heats, $200 added.
Running, Santa Catalina Cup, oneand one-eighth miles,
sweepstakes, $300 added.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9tU.

Trotting, 2:35 class, $S00 odded.

Pacing, 2:25 class, §600 added.

Running, Junior Handicap, 2-year-olds, three-quarters of a
mile, $250 added.

Rauning, 3-yeor-olds, one and one-sixteenth miles, $250
added.

The judges at the Benuing track, Washington, D. C, were
evidently "new hands". In two beats where a horse was a
head in front they pronounced it a dead heat, and then
placed a new driver behind a jaded horse in the seventh heat,
when tbey should have done so earlier in the race. These
are the kind of jadges that cause so much dissatisfaction to
the drivers and spectators.

The San Jose Association.

The Directors of the various Agricultural Societies are
fast coming to the conclusion that liberal purses mean
liberal entries, and San Jose comes forward this week
with three purses which are entitled to consideration
from any who own horses eligible for the slower classes.

$1,200 is a good round sum for the three-minute class
and yet there is no reason why a race of thiB sort should
not be particularly interesting, a ad prove as exciting as
many of those which are trotted by horBes in much faster
classes.

The Directors have also seen fit to offer $1,200 for the
2:30 trotters, and as there are any quantity of green
horses this year, the natural inference is tbat this stake
will be supported in a generous manner by horse own-
ers.

The pacers are not forgotten as §600 is offered for the
side wheelers eligible to the 2:30 class.

These purses are all guaranteed, with conditions for-
mulated much after the style of those issued by the
Breeders' Association. The generosity displayed by the
association warrants the belief that horsemen will not
overlook San Jose in makiDg up their circuit for the
season of 1S90 .

The Souther Farm.

Santa Clara Valley has been written of many times, and it
is always claimed that it is one of the most productive in the
State of California. It extends for many miles north and
south, the upper end of it skirting the eastern edge of San
Francisco bay; fr:>m the northern line of Santa Clara county,
however, this valley is usually Bpoken of as the Alameda,
probably because it is in the county of that name, jet still it
is only a continuation of the Santa Clara.

Nestling in the Contra Costa foot-hills, abont two miles
from the town of SanLeandro, the visitor can find the exceed-
ingly well arranged Souther Stock Farm, which was insti-
tuted a little more than three years ago by the present pro.
prietor, Mr. Gilbert Tompkins. Although imbued with the
enthusiasm of youth, he has made careful selections of all
stock which are now catalogued from the ranch, and his
preferences have been of the best. The broodmares will
etand equal in pedigree and individuality with almost any
stock farm in the State, while the stallions cannot be sur-
passed anywhere in the country.

The farm io its entirety consists of a trifle more than 300
acres, abont evenly divided between foot-hill and valley land.
The foot-hills are particularly rich in wild oats, while quite a
large pasturage has been prepared of the favorite alfalfa, giy-
ing a chance to secure for the stock green feed the entire year
around.

Last Saturday a visit was paid to Mr, Tompkins' place, but
owing to the heavy showers, but few of the horses were seen
at exercise. The proprietor has prepared an exceedingly fine
Bpeed track, which is the equal of any to be found anywhere;
owing to its slippery condition, the speedy ones had to be
exercised on the joRging track, which did not give them an
;1. opportunity to be seen at their best. Mr. TompkinB has vis-
ited the principal stock farms of California, and in hringiDg
his place to its present effectiveness, has taken all the good
points io be found at rival establishments and left out all the
bad ones, as a consequence there is probably no breeding
farm in California tbat can show so many modern improve-
ments for the care and education of the horse as the Souther
Farm.

When Mr. Tompkins firBt began his experience in breeding
trotters he secured the two well known stallions, Jester D.
5796 by Almont 33, dam Hortense by Messenger Duroc 106
and Figaro by Whipple's Hambletonian 725, dam sister to
Voltaire 2:203-. Both of these stallioDs have had considera-
a-tli ble work, but as each campaign season came along accident
i or sickness has prevented them from making the mark which
each is justly entitled to; in tfceir work both have shown
their ability to enter the charmed circle, and it has only been
bad luck that has prevented them from receiviDg their just
dues. The breeding of both these stallions has given reputa-
tion to the Southern Farm and many owners of brood mareB
have sent their favorite animals to the embraces of these
splendid Bires. Although but a very short time in service
they are both represented with exceedingly fine colts, many
of which are entered in the trotting colt stakes of this year.
A few months ago Mr. Tompkins also added to his stallion
list by purchasing from the Palo Alto Stock Farm the bay
colt, El Benton, foiled March 25th, 1SSS, by Electioneer, dam
Nellie Benton (out of the dam of Norval 2:17i,sire of Norlaine
2:3U) by Ganeral Benton 1755; 2nd dam Norma 2;33*(dam
of Norval 2.17A) by Alexander's Norman 25; 3rd dam by Tod-
hunter's Sir Wallace. It is a hard matter to describe El
Benton except by usiDg the word "perfection," for he is one
of the most perfect colts that the writer has ever setn, formi
substance and disposition cannot be improved upon, he is a
perfect little gem and isatjpical Electioneer in speed; Mr.
Tompkins has decided to train him himself and will no donbt
be seen on the circuit this year piloting his handsome colt to
victory.
The second of the purchases from Palo Alto is Glen
brtune, a bay colt with hind ankles white, 15. 2£ hands
;h, foaled February 21th, 18SG, by Electioneer, dam
enne by Messenger Duroc 106; 2nd dam Glenella by Wood
ard'aStar, son of Seely's American Star; 3rd dam Sbangha
tfary. It would be very hard to improve on such breeding,

iJi:

and Mr. Tompkins may well be congratalated on haying
four sooh grandly bred stallions to represents his interests;
it would indeed be a hard matter to go from one end of the
State to tbe other and purchase such a quartette of horBes
bred in the purple.

Of the broodmares there are thirty or more, but owing to
the bad weather it was our misfortune to miss a view of
many of them Among some of the best known are Veronica
by Alcona 730, dam Fontana (dam of Flora Belle 2:25) by Al-
mont 33, 2nd dam Fanny Williams (dam of Bay Chieftain
2:28*)byAbdallah 15.

Namora by Almont Mambrino 7G1, dam the Lackey mare
by Blood's Black Hawk.

Rosebud by Gibraltar, 2;22i, dam by A. W. Richmond
16S7, 2nd dam by Crichton.

Rosaline by Major Mono; this mare is the dam of Alphaeus
2:27.

Puss by Skeneudoah 926. Puss is the dam of Haverly,
with a pacing record of 2:25, and Belle Davis, who, as a three
year old, made a record of 2:40 almost twenty years ago. 2:40
is not considered ranch for a horse at the present day, but
the little filly was considered the best foal of her year, and
there are many who recollect with pleasure how fast the
daughter of Pass could go.

Besides tbe above there are two mares by Whipple's Ham-
bletonian 725, one by Vernon Patchen, two by Erwin Davis,
two by Fleetwood (son of Nutwood 600 and Centennial
Belle by Woodburn), two by Figaro, one by Thad SteveDB
one by Reliance, one by Ulster Chief, and one by Tom
Benton (sire of Mary Lou 2:25, and Ned WinBlow, who has a
pacing record of 2:17£.)

Mr. TompkinB has arranged bis paddocks in a most ad-
mirable manner with a series of gates so that they can all be
thrown into one or divided off into small ones at pleasure.

The service yard has been fitted up with all the modern
accessories, and is as peifect as can be devised, there being
absolutely no chance for accident. Large barns and stables
have been completed, there being in one building alone sin-
gle stalls for thirty-two horses, while there are also in the
other buildings box stalls to accommodate fifty animals.

Already many entries have been made from Souther Farm
for the circuit of 1890, and it may be confidently expected
tbat many victories will be credited to Mr. Tompkins be-
fore the seasons ends.

As a reader of your paper, would say I have a horse eight
years old that is troubled with his water; he has great trouble
urinating, and groans when he does. Ee sufiera most after
a long dtive. Would you kindly BubEchbe for him? What is
the trouble?

Answer. — Judging by the meagre description given in your
letter of 14th, I should judge that your horse, in all proba-
bility, is suffering from calculus of the bladder. Get Eome
veterinary surgeon to make an examination of the animal,
and follow his advice. It is a hard matter to prescribe for a
case of this description without seeing the animal. If yoo,
canuot get a veteiioary surgeon, please forward to the office-
of Breeler and Sportsman a small portion of tbe urine,
and I will examine it with a microscope, and by that means--
be able to arrive at some definite conclusion.

A Reader:

Will you please inform me through the columns of the-
Breeder axd Sportsman, where the best veterinary schools
are in the United States and Canada0

Answer. — In answer to your Inquiry regarding veterinary
schools, I think it is a matter of opinion, I would advise you
to write to the principals of the different schools and get
them to forward you their pro pectus and by comparing
them you may be able to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion.

Late News Prom Tennessee.

Gallatin, Todd., May 10th.

Editor Bheedee akd Sportsman:— At a meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Memphis Jockey Club, Jockey Fox
was reinstated. Fox was suspended for the alleged pulliDg
of the three-year-old colt Joe Walton, owned by Tucker &
Cherry, but s:nce Fox was suspended, the horse has run sev-
eral times, and in very mediocre company, and hiB perform-
anca shows him to be a rank duffer. Fox is a pretty fair boy
on a horse, and I think he has been too severely censored
since he was suspended. Tales have been told about his
pulling this and that horse last seison, but there are more
jockeys ridiog to-day that need to be criticised in their work
in the saddle.

By the way, I notice that a paper is being circulated among
the owneis and trainers in and around Chicago, prayiDg for
the reinstatement of Jockey Tom O'Hara. who was ruled off
a* Estonia last Fall for pilling Irish Djn in the race won by
Ciamor. O'Hara is a first rate jockey, but more than once
hi3 he baen under a cloud of suspicion. "When he was rultd
off, he had a stable of his owd, and was successful as owner,
trainer and jockey, la the racs which Irish Dan was said to
hive been palled, a watchman was sent up the stretch to see
if the horse would be palled, as there were rumors in the bet-
ting ring that things were not just right. Irish Dan got sec-
ond money after an exciting finish with Clamor, but the
watchman said that O'Hara palled the Irish Dan, and the
judges' decision was given accordingly, So *,it was in the
Fox-Joe Walton case; some one Branding at the head of the
stretch said thit Fox took Walton back. It is singular that
one man was interested in both of these horses, and tha*
after the suspension of both j ockeys, neither horse could beat
a goat.

The j odges officiating at Nashville the closing day and who
suspended Gollidav, the jocky, and the trainer of Jesse Arm-
strong, together with the horse, met in Secretary Gillocks
office one day this week, and reinstated horBe, jocky and
trainer. JesBe Armstrong, like nine-tenths of the get of hiB
Bire, is an in-aiid-onter, and I think the judges were justifi-
able in reinstating all parties concerned.

Ill luck seemB to have attended the Lexington As3ociation
this year, but with all the diawbacks and miBbap3, the
present meeting will prove a howling buccbbs. Not long since
many of the stables at the track were burned, and the thor-
oughbred horses were running loose through the streets like
sheep upon a farm. The stables were immediately rebuilt,
and better than before. Bad weather has laBted almost
throughout the entire present meeting, but the racing has
been good. Close finishes, heavy betting, and most of all,
strict and honest jndges in the stand, are foreshadows of a
sucoessfal meeting.

Memphis is to hive a four days trotting and pacing Diet-
ing next week. There are no Sunoli, Axtells, or Jay-Eye-
Sees around the Bluff City, but there are many high steppers
there, and with the large number of middle Tennessee horses
that are going down to tafie a hand, there should be some
pretty fast miles. This is a new feature in Memphis, and if
it takes as well as have the runners the meeting should prove
successful and profitable to tha management. Joe Mooney
will take his string of Tennessee borse3, which aie now at
Han'sville, Ala., to the Memphis meeting and with such
£ jod ones as Estella and Tosa, he will get his share of the pie.
I am told that Memphis will have another trotting meeting
this fall, which will take xolace during the fair held there.

A rumor ha3 been going the rounds that West Side Park
ha? seen its last raciog days. It is a well known fact that
stockholders in that Club are opp03ed to having fairs and
trotting meetings at the track, while others insist upon hav-
ing a trotting meeting each summer or fall. Then it is said
that the property in its present location is too valuable to be
used as a race trick, and some of the club members desire to
have it cut up and sold out as town lots. If Bold out for
town lots the property would bring an enormous snm, bnt
-with the buildings, and late improvements upon the traok
and grounds, I cannot see bow the management can atfjrd
to abandon the course. Some say that the track would be
batter if located farther out of the city, but by all means let
us retain beautiful West Side Park as it now is, and not try
to improve upon it by locating farther away from the city,
and in not near such a desirable place. For the sake of
past victories of champion equioe turf performers that
we have seen at West Side Park do not crush out the memory
of happy events we have Been upon the best of Wtstern
tracks.

They do say that the- Tennessee pacer Joe Townsend is
goicg to be a terror in the land the coming season. He is a
pacer sure, aDd if he does not stop the watch in the neigh-
borhood of '10" the coming season, he will be a blank dis-
appointment to those who have seen him at work this spring.
As a prominent trainer told me last summer at a big meet-
ing on the grand circuit when I asked him, What must I
"play" in the next, a pacing race? "Pat yonr money on that
brown Tennessee pacer of course; these Tennessee pacerB
are h — 1 when it comes to fighting for a finish." I did ac-
cordingly and was benefited. I do not think Joe Townsend
is an exception to my emphatic friend's idea of the Tennes-
see pacers, and the ones that "do" him when he starts will
have to haBtU from wire to wire.

The daily papers and turf journals in giving reports of the
Bale on the opening day of the Nashville Spring Meeting, do
Mr. Shafer an injustice by giving the average of his colts
something below $500. Only six c iltfl catalogued as owned
by Mr Shafer belonged to him, and these six made an aver-
age of $679.20. and one of these was badly crippled. The
other colts acid by Blazes were owned by other parties. Thi3
speaks well for the attention the youngsters receive at Pey-
tina, as Mr. Shafer's colts averaged almost double as much
as did other well bred colts by the same Bire. Khhkbjaw.

E. C. Walker, of the Chicigo Horseman, who is a clever
and careful trainer and driver of trotting horses, has a stable
near Fleetwood track, containing a number of good horses
which he is working. If Mr. Walker has as good success
with his horses bb be had la-it season with the bay mare Miss
Alice, 2:20J, be will be pretty well to the front. There is no
reason why he should not do well this year, since he leaves
nothing undone. He attends closely to the details of In-
stable. Mr Walker was intimate with the late Dan Mace,
with whom he freqaently talked over the merits of trotters,
and the training and driving of them.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports arjd Other Pastimes.

EDITED FY ABPHIPPUS,

SUMMARY.

This afternoon au interesting and varied programme of
athletic sports will be given on the campus at Berkeley. The
athletes are patting on the finishing touches for the cham-
pionship meeting, and on May 30tb, those who will be pres-
ent at the opening of the Olympic grounds will witness one
of the best day's sports ever before given on the Pacific Coast.

IN THE SURF.

The warm weather during the past week was the means of
increasing business at the snrf bathing establishments. The
Shelter Cove baths at the foot of Mason Street, and the Ter-
race Baths at Alameda were crowded morning and afternoon,
especially on Sunday and^Monday.

The crack swimmers of the Pacific and Lurline Swimming
Clubs are practicing hard, and some good con'eetB will no
doubt be shortly witnessed between the members of the two
clubs.

The old Terrace Clab has reorganized under thenemeof
the Pacific Swimming Club. At a swimming exhibition
which was given at the Palace Baths on Sunday evening last,
some of the Pac tic cracks showed up to good advantage,
Vollmer and Spiller in particular. Most of the members of
the old clob are members of the new one, and duriDg the
season the Pacific boys will give a good acount of themselves
in all the contests which they may enter.

The members of the Civil Service Swimming Club will
shorily hold a meeting and electcfficers for the eusuin* term.

The season has op ned at Santa Cruz and Capitola, and
already the regular summer visitors are flocking into both
placos. The bath-house men at Santa Croz anticipate a suc-
cessful sra-on. as the beach is in much better condition this
year than it was last.

The Palace and Crystal baths fell in for their share of
patrooage during the week, and at times it was impossible
to get a room at either place.

The new bath hoase which is to be coaetrue'ed on the site
of the old Vienna Gardens, will prove a boon to the public.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

In less than two weeks tho great athletic battle will have
been fought, and the athletes will have laid themselves down
to rest after several weeks of hard training. As the eventful
day approaches, the interest in the struggle heightens. The
entries will close on next Tuesday evening, May 20th, and
until after we have perused the list we cannot suggest who
the probable winners wi 1 be. From the look of things at
present, it would appear that the Olympic t« am were well in
it for tbe banner, with the University second and the Alpine
third. We do not know what men the Garden City Athletic
Club will enter, but by next Saturday all the athletes will
know who their rivals will be. With John Parcell and Vic-
tor E. Schifferstein to back them, it is out of the question for
the Olympics to be defeated for firtt place. In addition to
these two champions, the club will be represented by Scoit,
Cooley, Coffin, Jams, Henderson, Cassidy, Winslow, O'Kaae,
Foster, and a few others not bo well known in the athletic
world. The U. C. Club will place its last year's team in the
field, but the Students will be too heavily handicapped by
the Btronger and more formidable Olympic team. Some of
toe first prizes, however, will be carried over to Berkeley.
The A'pine team wi'l be limited to a few of the beBt men in
the club, and the representatives of this new organization
will possibly make a good showing against some of oldt-r
clubs. According to reports whicu were published in the
daily papers some weeks ago, regarding tne ability of the
newly formed San Jose. Cal , Clab, the Garden City athletes
should also make good records. Gov'. Waterman will be
present at the championship meeting, and a band of thirty
pieces will perform dnriog the progress of the games. We
hope the Olympic Club will make a good round Bum on this
occasion, after all the trouble it has gone to in trying to
arouse interest in the meeting.

It is to be hoped that Little's standing will be determined
before May 30th. If Mr. Little is really a professional, he
should not enter his name for tbe games, as the fact of his
being proven a professional after May 30th would reflect
heavily on the club which he represents. If he is an ama-
teur, which his friends claim he is, fhe half, mile and five
mile runners will be badly left in the rear, for Little, when
in good condition, is certainly a "phenomenal" runner.

The athlete who wins a medal on Decoration Day will cer-
tainly be a good man.

Coffin is holding Jarvis well down in the mile walk, and
many persons seem to think that Coffin does not walk
Bquare at all times duriog a race, and as be also claims that
Gafney does not walk, he should, if his op:nion be correct,
have a soft thing in both the one and three mile walks.
Cooke of the Alpines is ironing hard for the^e races, and as
he is also booked as a doubtful man, the three judges will be
kept buBy .during the early portions of both races. Eagene
Kelly, a pupil of Jarvi3, who walks a mile in about 8 min-
utes 30 seconds, will probably be entered, as be may, in case
Gafaey, Coffin or Cooke should be ruled out, win second or
third prize.

In the absence of Little, Cooley should win the five mile
run. The one mile race will be hotly contested between
Hill, Cooley and Caasidy. Scott and Sutton, it is expected,
will move pretty lively in tbe half.

The Garden Cit}* Club claims to have a man who will win
the 220 yards flat. He is a recent arrival from Scotland and
is the lucky possessor of ninety-four medals.

The University and Alpine athletes are a little put out be-
cause they will be allowed only two days practice on the
Olympic cinder truck before tbe championship games. They
will petition the officers of the Olympic Club askiog them to
break the rule for this special occasion and a'low thesm at
least a week's practice so that they may get used to the track,
the distances, turns, eto.

The members of the Alameda Olyn-pic Clnb will hold a
cross country run from their gymnasium on Lincoln Avenue
to-morrow morning. AU members of the Pacific Coast Ama-
tenr Athletic Association are cordially invited to participate.
The pace will ba moderate.

Peter Schumacher, a well known local wrestler, was de-
feated at Buffalo, X. Y., on Mondiy evening last by Hugh
Leonard of that place. The match was Grecco- Roman style
and the Btakes $200. Leonard won the first and third
bouts.

The spring field day of the University Athletic Club will
be held to-day on the campus at Berkely. Several represen-
tatives for the Olympic and Alpine Clubs of this city will
compete and a tine afternoon's sport will be witnessed. As
the majority of the open events are scratch the on lookers

will have an excellent chance of judging how some of the
championship events will turn out.

The warm nights are highly appreciated by tbe athletes
and many of them may be seen on the track long after dark.

Some of the Olympic Club boys are living at the grounds
that they may be able to practice morning and evening. Two
of the Alpine Clnb athletes are living at the Bay District track
for tbe same purpose.

After the championship games it is possible that amonster
cross country ran will be gotten up in which all the clubs
will enter.

The Alpine Athletes appear to have deserted the Harbor
View Grounds, which they claim are too small for training
purposes. Tbe track, eight laps to the mile, is poorly laid
out and is in very bad condition, and the boys are afraid of
straining their legs Bhould they practice on it.

The Olympic Club will hold a boxing night some time in
June.

The U. C. tug-of-war team are all in goodconditioD, having
practised faithfully on the cleats in the gymnasium for weeks
past.

The emblems of the O A C and Alpine Clnb are the same
and tbe Directors of the foimer clnb have addressed a com.
munica'ion to the Alpine members asking them to adopt
some other emblem, as on field days it would be impossible
to discover one club member from another. The O. A. C.
was the first to adopt the emblem which is the first letter of
the clab tj .nged with two spread wings, and the Alpines will
probably change theirs.

ON THE WHEEL.

The American Bicycle Club is now composed of Bis mem-
bers. Sig B. Morse is the captain.

Run No. 4 will be made to-morrow to Piedmont and Jack
Hays' canyon.

Tbe Bay City Wheelmen wiil surely raffle a Rover Safety
for the benefit of their treasury.

The San Francisco Bicycle Club has moved to new quar-
ters.

The Century run has been postponed to June 1st. The
wheelmen will assemble at the corner of 21st and Mission
streets at 5 a. m, on that day from whence the start will
take place League members are requested to bring their
League tickets along The run was postponed on account
of the muddy state of the roads and in order to give some of
the wheelmen a better chance to prepare themselves for the
long ride.

A good many of the local riders visited the park on Sun-
day. The threateniog weather prevented several of the boys
from going into the country.

The following circular has beeD issued by R. 31. Thomp-
son:

San Francisco, May 1st, 1S00.

Dear Sir: There are many wheelmen in our State who
are not members of the League of American Wheelmen, and
the reason that snch is the case is presumed to be that
the advantages and benefits derived from such membership
have never been made known to them.

Allow me to present for your consideration the following
reasons why every wheelman should join this organization;

In the first place "In union there is strength." The
Lesgue of American Wheelmen ib comprised of upwards of
12,000 members, and is the largest and strongest athletic or-
ganization in the United States; it is devoted exclusively to
the interests of wheeling, and itB objects are to tscertain and
protect the rights of wheelmen; to secure the improvement
of public roads and highways; to provide for amateurs a pure
6dj >yment of the sport in all its branches, and to bring to-
gether men of kindred tastes and interest?, by which is pro-
moted fraternal feeling and good fellowship.

Every member receives a weekly paper, Tbe Bicycling
World and L. A. W. Bulletin, free, which alone is worth the
amount of his League dues, the subscription price to Don-
league members being SI per year. Valuable road-books are
issued to members without cost.

Eich division has its League hotels where members are
given extra attentions at reduced rates. California Division
has already upwards of twenty such hotels, and more are be-
ing appointed as fast as arrangements can be made and con-
tracts signed.

In every city and town in our Division where there are
any League members, there is a local-consal to whom a ticket
of membership is an introduction, which insares the possess-
or a cordial reception and au introduction into the wheeling
circles of every part of the Division.

The League protects the rights of its members and will
furnish them legal counsel if these are infringed upon. Mr.
Geo. H. Strong. 220 Market Street, San Francisco, is Chair-
man of the Division Rights and Privileges Committee, and
all cases where members' rights are infringed upon, if report-
ed to him, will receive immediate attention.

Through the ioflneuce of the League of American Wheel-
men, bills have been passed in various legislatures through-
out the United States granting wheelmen the same rights and
privileges in public parks and public roads ay are enjiyed by
the driverB of any other vehicle. It obtained from the Nation-
al Government a decision classifying bicycles as "vehicles"
instead of "machinery'" which has been of no little valoe to
Americans touring in foreign countries, and has established a
precedent for all jadiciai proceedings.

The League has procured from the principal railway com*
panics throughout tbe United States, free transportation for
wheelB. Last year a number of railroad companies withdrew
this privilege, but the powerful influence of the League en-
forced its restoration and on a permanent basis. There is no
company in our Division which makes a charge for carrying
bicycles.

The League is now directiugits attention and influence to-
wards tbe public roads aud highways. Already many bills
have been introduced into the different legislatures through-
out the country and more are being prepared. The move-
ment has become a general one, and is receiviugthe endorse-
ment not ODly of the prominent wheelmen of the country,
but of the carriage men, horsemen and farmers, aud of many
statesmen and other prominent citizens.

On this acconnt, alone, every wheelman owes it to himself,
and to his fellow wheelmen, to lend his assistance to the
League by becoming a member.

Every wheelman who is not a member of the League is ii
debt to tbe Leagae; he has received, aud is daily receiving
benefits which have been procured by the League for which
he has not helped to pay. Is he not in honor bound to join
the League?

Now is the time to become a member: it is the beginnioR
of the League year; the Division meet is to be held Boon
[July 4th acd 5th] and non-members cannot participatein
the races.

This is to be the grandest bicyole tournament ever held in
our State.

There will be a League century-run on July 1st, at which
the expenses of each member attending will be paid by the
Division.

The following circular has also ju6t been issued:

Ban Francisco, May 5th, 1S90.

Members Cal Division L. A. W:

At the business meeting of the Division instructions were
given me to call a century run for members of the Division,
it being the sense of the meeting that expenses incurred
while on the ran, such as meals, etc., be paid by the Di-
vision.

It was the original intention to have this run to San Jose,
and return, thus making 100 miles, bnt I have been petitioned
bv a large number of members to make the run to Holiister,
thos avoiding the strong head-wind we would get on the re-
turn from San Jose, and. also affording a comparatively new
ride with a continued change of scenery. Members say they
would prefer to pay the railroad fare from Hullister than to
ride back from San Jose.

It was necessary, however, to provide a special train from
Holiister, in order to get back io San Francisco the same
night. This will cost about $150, which would make the
ride rather expensive if only a few participated.

The Board of Officers have rieemed it a better plan, and one
which will make the run much more of a success, to pay for
the special train and let each member taking the run pay his
own meals and incidental expenses.

The run is hereby called for Jane 12, 1S90, and will meet
at 21st and Mission streets at 5 o'clock a. m , sharp. Break-
fast has been ordered at Millbrae, dinner at San Jose, and
supper at Holiister.

An L. A. W. sDecial train will leave Holiister at our con-
venience and it will cost members of the Division nothing to
return on it. Non-members making the run will be charged
53 for return fare. I have just returned from Holiister; the
roads are good and the run will be an easy and very pleasant
one. It is to be hoped that members will encourage the ef-
forts of their Board of Officers to make thia run a success, by
attending if, and thereby advancing the interests of Cal. Di-
vision.

Members reasonably certain of attending will confer a
favor by notifying Yoars fraternally,

W. M. Meeker,

AT THE OARS.

The gloomy weather and the rougb sea on Sunday caused
a good many'of the oarsmen to remain in the shelter of their
boat houses. Those who did venture out speedily returoed.

The different clubs have taken active measures, and are
getting their crews into the finest condition for the coming
4th of July regatta.

The challenge which appeared on the slate at the Pioneer
Club House on Sunday, it not taken up by the members,
will be open to all bona fide crews of the Pacific Coast Row-
ing Association. The limit of the weight will be 560 pounds
for eueh crew.

H. O. Farrell, Secretary of the Pacific Coast Eowing Asso-
ciation, has received a letter from A. E. Colfar, Secretary of
the Harlem Regatta Association of New York, with a pro-
gramme of the nest regitta of that organization, which will
be held on May 30th. Mr. Farrell is also in receiptof sever-
al entry blanks, which will be duplicated by the P. C. R. A.
and used by that body in future.

Dennis Griffin, the local sculler, anticipates going to Port"
land this summer, with the expectation of making a matcn-
Mr. Griffin is now engaged in making two double scull work"
\ ing boats, which measure 20 feet long, 3 feet 10 inches wide-
and 14 inches deep. They are for the Dolphin and Lurline
Clubs.

It would not be amiss for the officers of tha Pacific Coast
Bowing Association to communicate with the Board of Su-
pervisois, requesting their co-operation in arranging matters
for the coming 4th of July regatta.

The well known local sculler Charles Long of the Pioneer
Rowing Club has opened a sporlioe house with Joe Eviston
for a partner at 17 Turk street. There will be a grand open-
ing to-night, and all tne oarsmen are cordially invited to be
present. A royal good time is assured.

Captein A. C. Ronard of the Lurline Club has. had his ca-
noe, "The Ho bo," overhauled, and is still practicing with
the intention of lowering all previoas canoe records.

The Alpine crew will go into active training next month,
and will give a good account of ihemselveB at the regatta.

CLUE JOTTINGS.

It is only a matter of time uutil all the professional clubs
go under. The Golden Gate Athletic Club, however, stands
a good chance of holding its own, for its members favor ama-
teur sports as well as professional. The G. G. A C. may yet
evolve into a strictly amateur club, as its officers have always
upheld the amateur members.

A meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. was held at the Olympic
Club rooms on Friday evenir g, May 9th. Walter A. Scott
occupied the chair. The following delegates were present:
W. A. Scott anrt G W. Jordan, OAC; W. F. Knoll, A O C,
P. N. Gafoey, E. P. Moody, A A A C; T. F. Scanlan, A A C.
Final preparations were made for the coming championship
games. Charges of professionalism against Charles Little, of
the Alpine Club, were made by George W. Jordan. It was
decided to mail copies of Mr. Little's photographs all over the
United States to the different athletic clubs, with the inten-
tion of finding out if Little wao known as a professional. It
wa3 decided that the Secretary, E. P. Moody, be requested to
notify A. H. Lean, Gus Ungerman, Mertes, and Mr. Thos.
Flynn, of the Chronicle, to appear befoie the association
on Friday evening, May 16th, for tbe purpose of being ques-
tioned in regard to what they know regarding the Lean-Kolb
wrestling match.

The Alpine Club will not hold a cross-country run until
'alter May 30th.

On class nights at the Olympic Club, the gymnasium is
'generally well tilled with ambitious athletes. There is a big
difference now in tbe attendance to what it was a couple of
years ago. The teachers rniy be thanked for the change.

Good Wrflstliog.

The wrestling tournament opened at the Olympic Club on

Tuesday evening and tbe attendance wai not remarkably

arge. The second night, however saw a larger audience.

The following is a summary of the results:

BTB61 NIGHT.

The style was catch-as-catch can. The tournament was

or juvenile and adult members of the club. F. F. Scaulan

, >f the Acme club was chosen referee. E. A. Kolb and E. S.

Van Court acted as Judges. Leader J. A Hammersmith was
master of ceremonies.

The exercises were commenced by the special class (juve-
niUs), the weight limit being 125 pounds. Thomas Code,
113 pounds, and Otto Westerfield, 112 pounds, were tbe first
pair to wrestle. Code won in the short space of 29 3 5 Bec*-
onds. FG Phillips, 116 pounds, and George Zeiler, 125
pounds, followed, and despite the difference in weight, Phil-
lips threw his opponent cleverly in 2m 34s.

The next on the carpet were EK Preston, 113J pounds,
and A M Dopern, 124 pounds' As in the preceding bout,
the lighter lad won, the time occupied being 7m 33s. H S
Russ, 120pouuds, and Sidney Vernon 124* pounds, then
engaged each other. Rus3 placing the fall to his credit in 25s.

A. M. Duperu, 124 pounds, drew a bve, but was mated
with Code, who rolled him over on his shoulders in 2m 38^-

The second part of the special class wrestling wa3 opened
Preston and Russ This bout was very exciting. Preston,
although haviog a disadvantage in weight, proving very wiry
and agile. He wriggled out of some dangerous positions
over and over again, bnt Russ finally threw him in 10m 32s

Wegener and Phillips then wrestled, and Wegener won the
fall in 3m os.

The winners in these bouts were then allowed a breathing
spell, and two bantam weights — Philip Boule, 113 pounds,
aBd J M Brewer, Jr., 114 pounds — took the carpet. Brewer
threw his man in 7m os. as these were the only two entries
in the bantam class, they wrestled aeain, and Brewer once
more threw Boule, this lime in 3m 48s, and w«"m the mtdal.

The concluding bouts of tbe special eless resulted as fol-
lowb: Russ threw Wegener in 3oa 14s; Code threw Russ in
2os; Rnss threw Code in 3m 7s, and again in lm 23*. The
prize winners were: Russ first, Code second and Wegener
third.

The feather-weight competition (limit 125 pounds) resulted
as follows: W P Henry, 122* pounds, threw Harry Baker,
123 pounds, in lm 13s; F A Grim, 123 pounds, threw Henry
in lm 22s; Henry threw Grim in lm 23s, and again in 22s.
Henry therefore won the prize.

Light weights not » seceding 140 pounds — R Y Cole, 140,
threw J S J O'to, 137, in 2m 50s; C J Lntgen, 138, threw G
H Wigmore, 134, in 3m 55s, Cole threw C C Beck, 135, in
3m 27s.

Cole and Lutgen then engaged in the final bouts. After
fifteen miuutei' wrestling no tails had been secured and the
verdict for first fall was awarded to Lutgen on points.

Middle-weights not exceeding 15S pounds — \V T Haberly
threw Alexander Pettee, 158"-, in 44s; R Y Cole, 140, threw
Edward Gros, 157, in 49i.

During the evening, E. A. Kolb, who recently defeated A.
Lean for the middle weight catch-as-catch -can championship
of the coast, was presented with the trophy, a handsome gold
watch, chain and diamond locket.

SECOND NIGHT.

Quite a large gathering of tbe members of the Olympic
Club were preseLt on Wednesday evening in the club's gym-
nasium to witness the final bouts of tbe wrestling tourna-
ment, which began on Tuesday evening.

Mr. Cole, who had entered in the light and middle weight
classes, was so completely tired ou: after the hard struggle
he had engaged in with his opponents on the night previous,
that he withdrew from the final of the light weight contests
in favor of Lutgen, thereby giving the latter title to first
honors.

Cole was to have wrestled Haverly for premier position in
the middle weight class, bnt as both athletes were suffering
with sore arms and necks the match was postponed for three
weeks, when the championship of the middle weight claBS
will be decided.

Professor Miehling, McLtod and Haverly gave very clever
exhibitions of heavy-weight lifting. Meibling raised two dumb
bells, each weighing 100 pounds, over his head. The club
will have a grand amateur bosing tournament in June.

BILLIARDS.

Hints To Amateurs.

BY SIATJBICE DALY.

The most important point in billiards i3 to hit your cue
ball where you aim. All beginners cannot draw a ball be-
cause they do not strike where they aim.

It is always better to play with an opponent of superior
skill.

In making a miacue, do not rest the blame on the cue. It
is mostly faulty aim.

Always make a carom with a view to leaving the balls in
position. The majority of new beginners are indifferent to
the second shot.

Don't forget that at least 60 per cent, of a player's snecess
is due to his execution, which means that it is necessary to
practice a great deal.

The best way to improve is to study position playing.

Do not forget to obtain a thorough knowledge of the twists
given a ball, for without that it is impossible to play well.
It would be wise to consult professionals on this point.

The draw shot 13 the must important shot as the best re-
sults are obtained with it.

The follow shot is also very important for position playing.

Do not bother about nursing until you learn to gather the
balls.

Do not turn to the sand paper every time you miss. A
great many good tips are ruined in that way.

Chalk is good, but accurate aim is better.

Do not strive for too mnch at once.

In driving balls try to drive only one, as it is easier to do
one thing than two.

Mr. W. A. Spink, representing the Schaefer and Ives com*
bination, arrived in the city on Wednesday, and is attending
to the interests of Mr. Schaefer in his forthcoming match
with Prof. McCleery. Mr. Spink states that the two brilli-
ant experts will arrive from Ogden either to-day or to-mor-
row. On the overland trip they have given quite a number
of exhibitions, and in every instance the houseB have been
packed.

Prof. McCleery has been rasticiting for several days dur-
ing the present week, but has returned and buokled down to
hard work for his forthcoming match with the champion.
When the doore open for the first match, on May 20tb, there
should be a Urge crowd at Metropolitan Hall, for this is the
most important match that has taken place on the Pacific
Coast since the emblem cue was played for, between Deery
and Rudolph, when the championship of tbe United States
depended on the result. Already considerable money has
been wagered on the result of the coming contest, a wtll
known ama'eur player having given slight odds, to a prom-
inent clab-man, that the coast representative will beat the
Eastern champion.

The championship billiard match between Jacob Schaefer
and George Slosson, set by agreement for June next, in New
York City, has been postponed. Desiring to go to San Fran-
cisco to play J. F. B. McCleery. Schaefer asked for a post-
ponement of the other match until about July 15. It would
be folly to play in that month, as a corporal's guard would
not he io town to see the game- Slosson wired back that the
contest would have to take plau* according to contract or be
deferred until October next. No answer was received until
the next day. when it was settled that Schaefer and Slosson
are to play their championship match aboot the middle of
next October.

(9:15, trial *:I3 3-4).

JCIANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1886. A* a colt he bu
given much more promise than dM Almont Patchon
at the same age Instead of being a pacer, he is »
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so geDtleaud kind, that ft lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him I*
that business c^lls him away from this section of
the Stat*>. He will be soil at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter a( a very low fignre.

crosses of Rysdvk's Hambletonian and one of Harry Clay, the sire of Grein Mountain Maid (dam of Elec-
tioneer, etc. t, while Long IsWnd Black Hawk and Flaxtail also contribute to his blood. Sidney (Memo's
sire) ie universally known us the best young aire m the world, a producer of extreme speed at an earlv aee.

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted in public in hia two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandee in a r*ce on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was m-ide in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight Btrain of bis fore fet-
lock, there is little question tha: he would have shown In public vary close to tne best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:2u 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

As a four-year-oid Memoonly B'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great Bpeed, and improving as he went on, gre-t bopeB were entertained of hlB going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, but after showineaevera' very fast miles his leg filled and he was laid np for
the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition i« all that coula be desired, and his action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season.

TERMfe. f 1^0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to cIobc JUNE 15th,
when he will be prepared for track purposes. 1'astarage $5 per month. Have leased the cricket ground
adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is flue feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. Best

I Bonnets o' Blue,

by Sir Charles

Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long list of winners. His &ire Newminster, won
the St.fLedger 1851. and his dam, Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. Newmioister by
Tonchstone, winner St. Ledger 18:11. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 54 races out of C4 starts, by Dr. Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncasier Cup, 1837—40-41—42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that feat.

On the side of the dam Three Cbeerj is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever ber.t Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Li z-
Eie. His graDdam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat BoBton in that historical
match at four mile beats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
Bter line in America.

LOCATION.

TBREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This placi has
been selected lor the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of
these mares, and the other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mareB (especially mares iu foal)
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

TERMS.

Pasturage 85 per month. Mares cared for as owners
may deBire at bottom rates for grain and hay. All

RAMBLING NUTER.

A Visit to Fresno— Some of the Horses in
Training— The Bemhard Stock Farm-
Oregon Boy 5515 — Princess
Alice — The Shippee
Trotters.

I hardly kDOW where to begin as I have called at eo maDy
tracks and stock farms within the past ten days that I am
afraid my notes have got terribly jumbled; however, I will
do the best I CiD, so your readers may know what is being
dooe on the lii.es over which I have traveled.

At Fresno, although I arrived there at an early hour in the
morning, I found driver HahD, who was handling the rib-
bons over a three-year*old Bay Rose filly, who showed a nice
turn of speed, she being accompanied on her journey by Doc
Williams, who was handling a green horse, whose name I
did not learn, but from Doc's talk I fancy he thinks he has
a good one.

At 8 o'clock the first of Mr. Straube's string of babies ap-
peared; one proved to be the ladylike and racy two-year-old
filly Elise by Clovis, dam Ida Davis by Belnor. As you al-
ready know, Mr. Stranbe has secured the services, as tiainer
and driver, of Matt Dwyer, who was so long at Palo Alto,
and whose experience there has well fitted him for the valu-
able charges which are now under his care. Eliee showed
herself in her preliminary work to be a smooth and very even
gaited tiotter, and bore out the good opinion which I
formed of her many months ago, when I Baw her for the first
time; she showed a very nice eighth of a mile in 19 J seconds,
which for this early season and her youthfulness, was con-
sidered by all who saw her perform, a capital piece of work.

Poplar Girl wa9 also given a few sharp brushing eighths,
one of which was timed in 23 seconds, while other eighths
varied from 24 to 25J seconds.

Valley Girl Maid did not accomplish any of her eighths in
better than 24 seconds, but I am told that she has shown
much better time.

Mr. Dwjer has quite a number of Mr. Staube's colts at the
track, they include the get of Clovis, Apex, Pasha and An-
teeo; Mr. Dwyer is fast bringing them to that point neces-
sary for a race, and when the bell rings at any of the points
where they are entered the public may rest assured that the
Poplar Grove Stock Farm entries will be ready lor a contest.

On returning to the hotel we had luncheon, and were then
driven to the farm. of Mr. Gto. Bernhard, where we were
shown the magnificent stallion Oregon Boy 5515. Oregon
Boy was bred by Mr. A. C. Goodrich, of Jordan Valley, Ore ;
he is seventeen hands high and weighs almost 1,400 pounds;
he is a beautiful bay with black points, heavy mane and tail,
excellent feet and legs, and a great deal of substance; he has
a lofty, light carriage and a pure gait, with rather high knee
and hock action. Although he has never been regulaily
worked, Oregon Boy can show quarters in forty seconds: he
is by Alcona 730 (eon of Almont 33), dam Livonia by Almont
33; 2d dam by Mambrino Champion; 3d dam by "Wake-Up
Jake, son of Downing's Bay Messenger. Alcona, sire of
Oregon Boy, has never had the opportunities that he
deserves, for notwithstanding the limited number of good
mares which have been pent to him, he shows speed in all of
his get, and it will not be surprising if severalof his sons and
daughters enter the charmed circle this year. The artist of
the Breeder and Sportsman who tccompanied the party,
Becured Home excellent pictures of this well-bred horse, and
it is lo be presumed that your readers will have the chance to
see for themselves before long what he looks like.

The stock fairn of Mr. Bernhard is under the management
of Mr. Henry McHugb, a careful and painstaking trainer and
driver who is constantly looking after the needs of the many

well-bred horses which are on the farm. Mac is working quite
a number of the mares and colts, and is also giving the big
horse a few miles of exercise every day, breaking the mono-
tony at times by making him show some good eighths and
quarters. After the season's service is over, Mr. Bernhard
intends to try Oregon Boy at his best, and obtain a record
for him if possible. Among the get of Oregon Boy which we
noticed at the farm, was a strapping big colt out of a Belmont
mare. This lordly little fellow is a yearling, and already
shows considerable Bpeed; he is entered in the Hughs' Hotel
Stakes for yearlings, to be trotted at Fresno Fair this Fall,
and should give a good account of himself.

A black filly also by Oregon Boy was next shown, and
under inspection proved a very pleasing subject for the criti-
cal eye ; she looks a trotter all over, and although low in fi esh,
after the severe winter, will doubtless prove herself a good
one when called upon in the Fall.

Among the brood mares we noticed Nell by Black Ralph,
bred by G. Valensin. Nell's dam is Humming Bird, a fast
pacing mare by Teoumseh; at her side is a tine colt by the
premier stallion of the farm.

JesBie is by Western Boy, a son of Chieftain 721, dam Nell
by Black Ealph as above. She is accountable for a topping
bay colt also by Oregon Boy,

Gipsey is a bright chestnut from the old Belmont stock and
she also has a bay colt by Oregon Boy.

Revielle by Woodburn, dam Minnie Weaver bv Langford
is stinted to the same horse.

Mag Donahoo, record 2:44 has an exquisitely formei and
an exceptionally good colt by the son of Alcona.

Cherry Ripe is a three-year-old bay filly by a son of Geo.
M. Patchen Jr., dam Mag Donahoo.

Mattie Vickers by PaBha, dam by Hock Hocking has a
handsome bay filly foal at her side by Apex.

Matilda is also by PaBha 2:36 out of a mare by Hock Hock-
J"ng; 2nd dam by Redmond's Sorrel.

Capulet is by Sea Breeze, a son of Piedmont 2:17;}, dam
Nell spoken of before; 2nd dam Humming Bird. Capulet is
stinted to Oregon Boy.

In an adjoining pasture were a large number of well bred
mares, the property of many owners, who are here on a visit
to the lord of the harem.

Adjoining Mr. Bombard's ranch is the beautifully improved
place of Mr. M. F. Tarpey, so well and favorably known to
all horsemen throughout California. He has 160 acres of
five year-old vines loaded down with luscious grapeB; an im-
mense fig avenue rune through the entire place from end to
end, while walnut trees encircle the neat and commodious
homestead and barns; 640 acres of grain and 60 of alfalfa
complete this very valuable property. Mr. Tarpey intends
shortly to place the 640 acres in alfalfa and in the near
future will move his entire stud of horses to this ranch.

From the lower end of the San Joaquin Valley I travelled
away to the north and finally brought up at the Stockton
track, our main object being to take a look at the black filly
so highly spoken off last year before the circuit opened, and
from whom was expeoted a very low mark during the season,
however, she disappointed both owner and friends, but hav-
ing heard that Princess Alice had again shown high speed,
we determined to take a look at her in her work; she is still
under the care and guidance of Geo. Kneier who handled
her last year; as usual George is very sanguine of being able
to give his black pet a very low reoord during 1890, but
whether be will be able to do it or not, time alone will tell.
I must confess that last year I very strongly wished that
Hiokok, Goldsmith or Marvin had this mare in charge, for
I£am more than satisfied that she would have made alow
mark for herself. In the early part of last season it was no
trouble for her to go quarters in 32$ seconds, and it was very
larely that she could not goto the half in 1:06. However,
George claims that he can beat all former records with her,

and does not hesitate to say that if she is tit to go to the
wire, Johnson's record will not be too low for the mare to
aim at.

In an adjoining stall is Crown Prince, another of Georgie'a
day dreams. He is a chestnut colt with considerable white
markings by Dexter Prince' dam Clara by Chieftain 721.

On asking Kneier for the pedigee of Princess Alice he gave
it as follows: by Dexter Prince, dam Mollie by General Mc-
Clellan; 2nd dam Fanny by McCrackeu's David Hill, Jr.

There is also in the stable a two-year-old, called Eda by
Harry Gear, a son of Echo.

Revive is a two-year-old stallion by Reliance, dam Flora
by George M. Patchen, Jr. 2nd dam Lulu by Speculation.

I am rather inclined to the belief that if Princess Alice is
well handled this year that she should cause all of the pacers
considerable trouble, she is looking more robust and in bet-
ter condition than when last seen, and 1 think if anything,
a little faster. I timed her from wire to wire at Sacramento
last season after nineteen scores in 2:17, and I fancy she can
beat that a trifle this year.

Mr. Shippee's stable is under the charge of Harry Whiting
and all of the horses look first-rate and show up well for this
season of the year. He has in the string KilraiD, a son of
Hawthorne, dam by Whipple's Hambletonian. Moses S. who
is well known on the tracks of California is looking superb
and fit to go with tha best of them; if Mr. Shippee does not
give tbis horse a mark far below 2:20 on the circuit this year
it will be because accident prevents it,

Harry also has Petro, a bay gelding by Hawthorne, dam
Daisy by Chieftain. Chief Tborne is by the same sire and
out of the same dam as Petro.

Princewood is by Dexter Prince, dam by Nutwood 600,

Captain Thome is by Hawthorne, dam an inbred Lambert
mare.

Beauty, Lady Pet and one or two others whose names we
did not learn are also in the string, Harry has his hands full
in looking after this very promising lot.

The journey would not have been complete if we had
failed to pay a visit to the establishment of Mr. MorBe at
Lodi where we were shown that exceedingly good stallion,
Dexter Prince; the old horse, if he may be so called, is now
at his very best ; notwithstanding the heavy strain on bis pro-
ducing powers he seeme as fresh as a lark and shows his con-
dition in the brightness of his eye and the glossy health look
on his coat; seldom a week passes but what some enconrage-
ing report comes from some of Dexter Princess' colts, and
there is no reason to doubt that in the near future he will
have a long list enumerated among the 2:30 performers.

We were also shown Hero, a dark brown sou of Director,
dam by Santa Clans; 2nd dam by Bull Pup, 3rd dam by Cal-
ifornia Patchen; this horse will take his place as second fid-
dle to Dexter Prince next season and will undoubtedly be
well patronized.

We were also shown a tine lot of brood mares but as time
was limited we could not get a list of them, however, suffice
it to say that Mr. Morse is on the high road to success and
we fully expect to get encouraging news from Lodi before
long.

The track at this place has been put in good shape aud
already several contests have taken place, giving much en-
joyment to those who live in the neighborhood. The soil is
of such a character that I am inclined to the belief that for
winter purposes it cannot be excelled in the State, in fact ia
almost a counterpart of Mr. Salisbury's track at Pleasanton.
and we all know what a grand place to exercise Ibat is, when
water prevents work at other places.

As I have already taken so much of your valuable spac<\
will give you further particulars of my journey in anot'h
letter. Yours, Ban FRANris*<>.

A Letter from Terra Haute.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I feel assured that a
few lines from this place will be of interest to yon and your
readers, especially in view of the fact that all the principal
trotting horses in this great western country are now cen-
tered at Terre Haute.

Much care has been exercised in preparing the track here
for preliminary work, and Mr. Jeffries, the able superinten-
dent has had a six-inoh coating of yellow clay put over the
course, and it now looks very much as did the Bay District
Track during the fall of last year; I am certain that it will
be tery fast, the only fear being that it may get too hard,
however, I am satisfied that every eare will be taken to pre-
vent that.

As so many trainers and drivers have made application for
stall room, it was deemed necessary to increase the number
of stalls and this has been done by building two immense
barns 150 f^et by 50 feet, the buildings being two and a half
stories high. These immense structures have ju3t been com-
pleted and there are twelve bos stalls 12 X 14 on each side
with a space between of about twenty feet. All the wood work
inBide the barns is of Indiana Poplar, with the exception of
the gratings in frmt of the stalls, which are of oak; the ven.
tilation is of the best and the space from the floor to the
comb of the roof is fully fifty feet; eaoh Btall has a window
in it and a large door leading into the open, and in case of
tire the latter would prove a very desirable adjunot.

I am pleased to state that the Hickok car arrived all right
and all of the horses were in exceedingly good condition,
Roy Wilkes looking particularly well, there was not a scratch
or a cough among the entire number; it is too bad that the
same oannot be said of the Palo Alto string, as several of the
horses have colds and a number of them are skinned, one
in particular, Arol 2:24 evidently had a genuine attack of
horse hysterics; she fell down in the car and was badly
braised and barked, however, I do not think the injury is ser-
ious and I fully expect to see her at work before long. Mr.
Marvin is quite worn out with the trip, having to be up day
and night looking after his charges, but a little rest here will
soon set him all right.

Bain has interfered with our working the horses this
month, as is always the case in May and we could hardly ex-
pect good weather at this season.

The Palo Alto string occupies one entire side of one of the
barns while the Hickok string with the necessary feed stalls
occnpiee the other side of the same barn; the other large
building is occupied in its entirety by Budd JJoble who has
an overflow, in addition to the twenty-four large stalls whioh
he uses. Badd is a big favorite with gentlemen who own
trotting horses, and that be is a great trainer and pilot can
not be gainsaid. However, he could not be otherwise, as he
has a good pedigree and is well bred.

I almost wish that the managers of yonr California race
tracks conld see the way things are managed here; every
thing is in tip top Bhape and every convenience for horses
and horsemen are at hand. I take it that the guiding spirit
here is Mr. Ijams, one of the owners of the great Axtetl, as
he is oonstantly on the lookout to see that the trainers and
drivers are satisfied. There are here now probably three
hundred and fifty horses, all of whom are being worked when
the track will permit of it and more are coming in every day.
Tink Hill is here with Hendryx 2:18J, Tariff 2:21J and eight
or ten more good ones. Tariff is a big black gelding, 16£
hands, and built in proportion, and if be does not have
trouble or accident is liable to get a mark of about 2:17;
when I say trouble, I mean muscular rheumatism, as the
gelding was sorely tried last year with that complaint. His
fall brother, Free Trade, is learning to trot very fast, and
will likely add to the reputation of his sire Young Wilkes by
entering the list this year. There is no use talking this
Wilkes blood is great staff and makes horseB trot from almost
any cross.

The well known Billy Maloney may be seen out almost
daily with Jersey Boy and Kitty Grey, and their owner Al
Post, of Chicago, aspires to overthrow the great double team
pacing reoord of Silvertail and Daisy D. with this pair of
test ones. "Happy Joe" Rhea when he drove the team to the
record of 2:18J made a mark for the boys that will require a
deal of speed to lower. However, if Jersey Boy and Kitty
Grey can show any sort of pace, Billy Maloney is surely the
man to lower the record. In addition to the two mentioned
Maloney has several other good ones that are going very
glibly, and it will not surprise me to see some of their names
at the top of the summaries during the season's work.

John Dickerson, the "champion kid driver and trainer " is
here with a legion; Johnnie has had to refuse business, and
from the immense string that he has at present under bini
will not have to chew snow-balls next winter. Among the
good ones, he hae FauBtino, 2:35, the champion stallion
yearling, of which all Californians naturally feel proud. Geo.
Starr brought this trotting phenomenon from Fresno to this
place, and turned him over to the care of Dickerson, who
will do some driving for Frank Waters of the Genoa Junc-
tion Stock Farm this year.

I understand that Mr. ValenBin wants to have this ma^nifi
cent colt get a mark of 2:20 in his two-year-old form, but
Dickerson informs me that he has no euch orders from Mr.
Waters, and that he will feel satisfied if the youngster touches
; however, I am inclined to think from the way the colt
looks at present, that Regal Wilkes may possibly have his
two-year-old stallion record lowered. This would Dot sur-
prise me, for Mr. Waters is one of the luokieBt men alive; in

faot, he is about the only one I know of who could land a
whale with a trout line.

I feel confident that Roy Wilkes will beat 2:10 this year
before the "pampkinB turn yaller;" if the low mark is made
for him, he shall never pace again, as I am satisfied that he
will make as good a trotter as he is a pacer; he will only be
allowed to serve ten mares outside of our own, as he will
begin oampaign work about August 1st. I have about made
up my mind that California is the place to winter horses, and
you may rest assured that, barring accidents, I shall be on
the Pacific Slope before the snow falls here. More anon.
Yours respectfully, L. A. Da vies.

Santn, Rosa.

On Saturday last a visit was paid to what is now known
as the Santa Rosa Stock Farm, formerly the Santa Rosa race
track. Since its purcbaBe by the Pierce Bros, many im-
provements have been put under way and the place already
shows a decided improvement since the ohange of owner-
ship. Mr. Thos. Bonner is general manager and superinten-
tent of the farm; he has his hands full in looking after not
only the large Dumber of mares which have been bred to Bay
Rose, but also in seeing that the traok is kept in perfeot or-
der for the fifty or more horses now in training there. We
had but little better than an hour to spend at the track, and
consequently there was not the attention given to detail that
should have been, but we are pleased to note that many of
the horses there are in the best of condition and are all im-
proving in speed.

Under the guidance of Mr. Murphy, it took but a short
time to drive from the livery stable of Messrs. McFadyan &
Underhill to the track, where we were heartily received by
Mr. De Turk, Mart Rollins, William McGraw, W. B. San-
born, Geo. Kennedy and many others who have horses there-
After a look was taken at a few of the best of them, Mr. Bon-
ner outlined his plans for the future, and if carried out in
their entirety, it will make the Santa Rosa Stock Farm a
favorite winter resort for those who have first class race
horses. There is already being prepared and well under
way a covered in winter track, which will be over one-eighth
of a mile in length, made on the conventional shape with
thrown up turns and everything requisite for the proper
speeding of horses during the winter monthB. The
track will be finished in the very best style, and already an
exceedingly fine quality of loam is being brought in where-
with to finish the track nnder the sheds. The two stretches
will be much longer than the turns as the location of the
awnings prevent as wide curves as Mr. Bonner would have
liked, still when finished his winter track will far surpass
anything at present in the State.

A look was taken at the pavilion, and Mr. Bonner informed
us that the entire ground floor will be devoted to the use of
large box stalls, of which there will be eighteen in all; the
upper floor, or promenade, as it was formerly oalled, will be
used for the storing of hay and grain.

While all these improvements have b6en going on, the out-
side track has not been forgotten, as men are constantly at
work keeping it in the most perfect condition.

Only a few of the howes were speeded while we were pres-
ent, the better known ones being the Anteeo tilly, Mand Dee;
this is a very promising three-year-old owned by Mr. Mnrphy.
Ned Lock was also given a fast quarter, and he proved
himself competent to travel with any of the 2:27 class where
ever he may meet them.

Silas Skinner, the black colt owned by Mr. DeTurk, was
brought out for inspection, and from what we were told,
should judge he might be able to get a pieoe of the parses in
all the 2:30 races in which he may start.

Mr. McGraw a'so broaght out and jogged The Dane by
Stamboul. This is a colt formerly called Coronado and
owned by the Coombs Bros, of Napa. He has filled out won-
derfully since last year and shows himself a trotter of no
mean order.

The Pierce Bros, have a large number of well bred mares,
many of whom are being stinted to Bay Rose. George Ken-
nedy is lookiog after one or two thoroughbreds and he only
requires a chance to be able to ship a two-year-old baok East
to take part in the Coney Island Futurity Stake. This is a
fine youngster by Three Cheers and George feels pretty con-
fident that he would have a slice of the big plum if he could
get the filly acrosB the mountains in as good condition as she
i i at present.

Many of the gentlemen whom we met at the Santa Rosa
traok favored the idea of the Trotting Horse Breeders' Meet-
ing being held at that point, and several of them thought
that a goodly sum of money might be contributed in the town
toward that object if the matter were taken in hand by a
good committee.

As train time was approaohing we had to leave, not, how-
ever, without a strong and abiding faith that when the cir-
cuit opens many of the horses now in training at the Santa
Rosa Traok will give a good account of themselves.

I have long used Simmons Liver Regulator for my horses,
cows, sheep and chickens. To my horses I give a teaspoon-
fill of the powder in a mash three times a week. I find it in-
valuable for Cough, Hide-boand or Pneamonia. Giving it lo
my game chickeDs for Cholera I have not lost one in the
last five years. I make this statement tbat mankind may
know Simmons Liver Regulator as a valuable remedy for the
ills of man and beast.— T. G. Bacon. Edgefield, S. C.

From Kelseyville.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— While rambling
through this section of the State a few days ago. I paid
a visit to the race track to take a look at the horses in train-
ing. The weather has been delightful and as there is no
better climate in California in whioh to train, the horses are
all looking in splendid condition. When the track at Lake-
port is fit for work, which will be within a few days, thoss
who are here will in all 'probability be taken over there.

Our old friend Jas. Corcoran ia located here and has 6ve
which he thinks very highly of; I rather fancy that the beBt
of the lot is Advocate 6544 by Attorney 1005, dam Minta by
BaBhaw 50, grandam the Dr. McAllister mare by Sampson,
Bon of Sampson Canadian. This horse is now five years old
and is the property of Mr. A. B. Rodman, of Lakeport. From
the way in which- Atto Rex went down the line last BeaBon, it
should be presumed that this half brother of his will also
make a good fair trotter, and it would not surprise me if
Corcoran gets a low record for him. Advocate is a remarka-
bly fine looking horse and is not unlike Atto Rex in confor-
mation. He will be given every chance to show his ability
and will be sent for a record before the season ends. Corcoran
also has two colts, the property of Mr. L. H. Boggs, one is a
yearling by Advocate, dam Bent B.; tbiB is a fine rangy look-
ing youngster and presents far more the appearance of a
thoroughbred than he doeB a trotter; the other one is a two-
year-old by Oakland Boy from the same dam as the yearling.
She is a very handsome bay, and from the peculiar manner
in which she is built is apt to give the visitor an opinion of
what Snnol looks like, for they are built on almost the same
lines. Jim also has a good looking three-year-old brown mare
by Anteeo 2-16J, dam by Abbottsford 2;19J. This is a big
looking filly and she should most assuredly be heard from in
the races this year, as I understand Mr. Boggs will have her
entered at several places on the circuit.

The old Petalnma driver also has a very fast pacer which
he was exercising while we were present, and a right merry
clip was shown ub; Jim was very reticent about what the
pacer could do, but speed enough was shown us to warrant
the belief that he could get a slice of the money, if entered in
the 2:20 purse of the Breeders' Association.

H. Tracy is here with the stallion Alwood and two other
colts, all of which are showing the benefit of the consistent
work which they are receiving.

Charles Piener has four of Mr. Starr's horses here, one of
which is a colt by Anteeo out of Old Countess, the dam of
Dawn. This one I rather liked, and if well seasoned, there
should be another of Countess' oolts to enter the 2j30 list.

Before leaving this seotion, I took a drive over to the farm
of Mr. J. W. Boggs, and had the pleasure of viewing several
very handsome ooltB. Mr. Boggs has a very fine place, with
any quantity of feed, and something that I always particu-
larly like— plenty of shade. The young Btallion Daniel
Deronda by Black Ralph, dam Bessie B. by Milton Medium;
2d dam Mollie Higby by Billy Cheatham, is a rare good
looker; he has a fine head and neck/well set on his shoul-
ders, a magnificent back and loin, with great driving power.
Mr. Boggs naturally feels very proud in the possession of
this handsome colt, and within a few weeks will turn him
over to some capable driver for the purpose of getting a rec-
ord for the colt if possible. He also has quite a taking two-
year-old by Oakland Boy, dam Bessie B., which is on a par,
as far us appearances are concerned, with the balance of the
trotter i in this neighborhood. He also has a yearling by
Advocate out of the same mare, that is as fine a looking colt
as one could find anywhere.

From here I Bhall go to Lakeport, and let you know what
alterations and additions are being made to the track it that
p'aee. Yours, Travkler.

Marcus Daly's Ranches.

The famous ranch of Mr. Marcus Daly is in the Bitter
Boot Valley about forty-five miles south of MiBsoula. Ihe
Home ranch lies on the east side of the river, but doea not
tonch it, and contains about three hundred acres, says the
Montana Farming and Stock Journal. There is a good man-
sion upon it fitted for the summer residence of his family,
houses for bis workmen and Btablee for his horses, and reser-
voirs for supplying the horses and stables with water. It
[seemed tons that the buildings, with the exception of the
mansion, were not first class, nor well arranged, but they
were better than the houses of farmers in the States. The
whole is well fenced, and good gates were found wherever
I needed, but the arrangements of the fields might have been
; better.

There is a fine track on the ranch three-quarters of a mile
i round for training the horses, but owing to the rains, was not
jin a condition to be used the day we visited the ranoh.

The horses Mr. Daly has purchased are of course the chief
attraction to visitors, and too much oannot te said in praise
;of them or of the manner in which they are kept. The thor-
oughbreds and trotters are kept separate, and a trainer is
in charge of each. There are but thirteen thoroughbreds,
each two years old, and all, if we remember rightly, fiom Mr.
J. B. Haggin's stables in California. They are:
i Brown Fox, b c, by Ban Fox, dam Illusion.

Josephine, b f, by Joe Daniels, dam Nonage.
! Dora, b f, by the celebrat d Australian Darebin, dam Kate
Bailing.
Virgin, b f, by Milner, dam Virgie.
Bandana, b f, by Darebin, dam Bessie Peyton.
Governor, b c, by John Happy, dam Susan.
Palfina, b f, by Hyder Ali, sire of Spokane, dam Pandora.
Yoland, ch f, by Joe Daniels, dam Unit.
"Walnut, b f, by Sir Modred, dam Wonder.
Edorsada, b f, by Darebin, dam 8ozjdout.
! Bay filly by The Illused, dam Flower Girl.

Chestnut filly by Warwick, dam Eliza.
I '■ Chestnut filly by Hyder Ali, dam Assyria.

The weather was bad and the horses were not put upon

the track, but we are sure all will give a good account of

i "themselves. If they show up well they will probably be sent

;to Chicago within a few weeks. They are under charge of

Mr. Joseph Nelson, whom we judge to.be a competent, care-

. ful man, who is not at all given to boasting — about his horses

or himself.

The standard or trotting stock are more numerous, and
occupy two large stables and several smaller ones. They are
i under the charge of Mr. S. G. Larimore, a life-long horse-
man. The appearance of the horses shows the care he gives
, them. The horses are all kindly treated and they respond
to their treatment so well that there is not a vicious one
among them. They can be easily handled and touched on
I noy part of their bodies without exhibiting the least dig-
(pleasure. Tbey are kept in box stalls, where it is impossible
\ for them toinjare themselves. All the appliances and dress-
ings known to horsemen are furnished. In this particular,
J is'in every other, the stables are superbly equipped. The
\ following is the record and pedigree or breeding of the trot-
ters:

Lord Lyon, 2:18, b s 5 years old, by General Benton, dam
May Day; bred at Palo Alto.

Frisco, b a, 2:52 at two years old, by Echo, dam by Al-
Qont.
3t. Patrick and Yolo Maid are pacers,
"esidea these there were ten yearlings, all finely bred, the

best being a black filly by Director, dam Belle Evans by
■oho.

Mr. Daly also has a fine string of thoroughbreds in New
York whioh are expeoted to give fame to his stable the com-
ing season.

Mr. Daly expects to make this a breeding farm where
great horses may be bred, aDd he will not be satisfied with
less results than have been achieved by the breeding farms
of California.

This year he is breeding to Lord Byron: Lightning Bug,
EaseL Fannie Witherspoon, Lulu B, Vesolia, Hattie D.,
Lady Byron, Favonia, and Queen WilkeB.

To Prodigal: Fanny Bicknell, The Baroness, Brown Silk,
Vera, Mountain Lass, Griselda, Clara D., Helen F„ Nan and
Irish Lass.

To St. Patrick: Gertie Arnold, Maudine, Maggie C, Maud
D., Belle Evans, Governess, Flora, Yolo Maid, Montana
Maid and Stambella.

To Mascot: Vixen, Dolly Dimple, Sally Wilkes and Fan-
tasie.

To Deputy: Cora Belle: Virginia "Wilkes and Guelda.

Anj one who looks up the pedigrees of these and sees the
horses and their work will expeot some famous horses from
this year's breeding.

Which are the best of these would be hard to say. Mascot
coat $26,000, and there are others which Mr. Daly would
not sell for less than $40,000. While there are many pretty
horaes, MaHcotispar excellence, the perfect horse, with Bpirit
and grace that add to the perfection of his form. Mr. Daly
was offered $30,000 for Mascot from a man he did not like
to refuse, and he said to Mr. Larimore, "I guess I'll nave to
let him go. Bring him out till I look at him." He was
brought out and looked over, when Mr. Daly said "Put him
up; I won't part with him."

Mr. Joseph Cox, recently from Pennsylvania, has charge
of the farm. He is an active, energetic, capable man, and
has the ability and industry to conduct large farming opera-
tions. Next spring will see great improvement in the ranch,
if we are not mistaken.

Mr. Daly has two other ranches, a hay ranoh of 160 acres
and a ranch in Gurge creek valley of about 1600 acres. He
has some stock on each. The small grain he uses is princi-
pally raised on this ranoh, which shows that it is in good
hands.

Mr. Daly has some fine Holstein-Friesian cattle, one of
which was imported, and a fine herd of two-year-old and
yearling Shorthorns, all of which are registered.

Unfortunately Mr. Daly was not at the ranch while we
were there, but it is evident that he bought his ranches leas
than two years ago for the purpose of breeding fine horses
and cattle in Montana. He has a love for farm life, and
horses and cattle, and while the business of breeding and
farming 1b in the line of his taste, he did not establish this
place for profit. If it pays expenses it is all he asks; but he
wants to show to the wccld that fine Btock can be raised in
Montana as well as in Kentucky or California. In thia is
shown the public Bpirit of the man, and his pride in Mon-
tana. It seems to us he could not have obosen a better or
wiser means to carry out his great ideas, and every citizen of
the state will rejoice in the ancceas that is sure to come to

By Dr. A. E. Bnzard, M.K. C. V. 3. L.

I have been requested to treat on this important lameness
in the column of the Bbeeder and Spobtsman.

Fifty years ago navicular disease was unknown, not be-
cause it did not exist, for probably it has been a source of
lamenesa Bince the horse's domestication, but because it was
not recoganized until Prof. Turner of the London Veterinary
College made the discovery that the mischief lay in the deep-
seated structure of the foot. Prior to this, any obscure
lameness, for which there was no appearance, was relegated
to "the shoulder," especially when the foot was good and
open, and presented noappearance of disease, as is frequent-
ly the case, while when small and misshapen it was referred
to as "contraction." Now we know that contraction is rather
the effect than the cause of navicular disease, but "the
shoulder" is still a favorite spot for fixing the seat for lame-
ness, and many are the rubbings and blisterings that the un-
fortunate animal is subjected to before Borne one a little
wiser points to the foot as the correct situation of the dis-
ease. The foot of the horse is something more tban a lump
of horn to which an iron shoe may be nailed. This homey
box is nature's ahoe, and the true foot structures are con-
tained within it, the prinoipal one being the coffin bone. Be-
hind this a small wedge-shaped bone, called the navicular
or ''shuttle" bone, and over it the tendon plays a3 it runs to
its insertion into the inferior surf ice of the coffin-bone. Navi-
cular disease commences in an inflammatory process in this
bone, or in the cartilage lining the inner surface. The dis-
ease is progressive, caries of the bone takes place, the tendon
playing over it becomes involved, and in extreme cases up-
turned, so that the toe of the animal is cocked up, and the
back part of the fetlock touches the ground.
OAOBE3.

1: — Hereditaby. — Whenwe say a disease ie hereditary, it ia
not necessary that it should be congenital, or present at
birth; what is meant is that certain structures are predisposed
to take on the diseased state, and only require exposure to
favorable conditions to insure its development, i. e.t the feet
of an animal bred Irom parents, or a patent, lame from navi-
cular disease, would not stand the '"ammer, 'ammer, 'am-
mer, on the 'ard, 'igb road," like those of an animal that had
not the hereditary taint. The feet might remain healthy
doing alow work on the soft ground, but fail when fast work
on hard roads is demanded. There is no surer way of propa-
gating thia disease than breeding from unsound parents.
There is a greater tendency to this, perhapa, where navicular
disease ia concerned than there is with other hereditary un-
soundnesses, and for this reason it is rare to find a bad horse
Buffering from this form of lameness. They are generally
good all round, well-bred, well-shaped, good-hearted, good
workers and fast; they get lamer and lamer, change owners,
until they fall into the hands of some one with an "ey« for
the beautiful," so far aa a mare is concerned, and he perhapa
thinks she would throw a good foal. She ia cheap, beoauae
unlees for work, being inourably lame, she is, therefore, put
to the horBe to earn her keep, and the result is a good look-
colt, but one with a predisposition to the same disease.

2.— Stable Management haa something to do with it.
Horaes are frequently kept standing in the stall for days to-
gether. During theBe periods of rest there is a deficiency of
synovial secretions; then the animal ia taken out. put to hard
fast work, which, but for its irregular character, it could have
done very well, and the result is bruising or injury, inflam-
mation and navicular disease.

3. — Wobk.— Light horses are more subject to navicular di-
sease than the heavy breeds uaed in alow draught, although

It is sometimes foond in those that are "high ateppers"and
work on stone-paved roads, but the rule is that draught ani-
mals are more prone to laminitis than to navicular lameneaa.
A very large proportion of horses suffering from lamenesa in
front in San Franoisco and other large citiea, are lame from
thia disease.

The forefeet receive the whole weight of the body, or rath-
er of the head, neck and half the trunk; behind, the hooka
receive the greater portion of this weight. Therefore we
look principally for foot lameness in front, and hock lame-
ness behind. Added to this weight on the fore feet we have
the dashing and banging on hard roads, and it is reasonable
to expect that inflammation of structures on which this stress
iB laid would be excited. Occasionally it may occur auddenly
without reference to work, from a slip or stumble, or from
concussion in jumping. The horse may be ridden from home
sound enough, and fall dead Jame bo suddenly as to causa
one to think it had picked up a stone, but no stone is to be
found, or indeed any other apparent cause of lameness, and
then the usual tale ia that the horse has "sprained its
shoulder.'* stmpto3IS.

The Brat symptoms 1b generally "pointing", an almost in-
fallible teat for navicular diseaBe, although there may occa-
sionally occur a case that doeB not point. It is often possi-
ble to foretell it from this symptom alone, when to all ap-
pearance the horse is quite Bound, and certainly works so.
Horses sometimes point from habit or weariness, but thia
differs from the pointing of navicular disease. In the former
there ia a careless, lounging attitude, one hind and one fore
foot being rested simultaneously. In the latter only one foot
ia pointed at a time, and that in a manner that Bhows the
horse is in earnest about it; when both feet are affected he
will advance them alternately. The next symptom, and,
from want of observation on the part of the owner often the
first noticed, is a shortness of step, perhaps without posi-
tive lameness, the animal going worse down hill from the
weight being thrown on the heels, thus placing the Btresa on
the affected parte. In comi g out of the stable the horae
■eems stiff and disinclined to mo?e, but when he has gone
aome distance, eapecially if the groand is soft, the movement
ia freer and the aiep longer. A look at the shoes will show a
deal. The horse lame from navicular disease alwa>B throwa
as much weight as possible on his toes, thus the shoe ia worn
at the toe. When both feet are affected the step is short and
atilty, and the muscles of the shoulders seem stiff aDd rigid,
giving rise to the ridiculous term "chest founder". This id
easily accounted for, the step ia short because the pain in
the foot on the ground causes the horse to bring the otber up
quiokly to relieve it, and the Btiffness arises because the
flexion of the foot causes pain in the joint, and he does not
pick up his feet freely because he knows that the further they
have to come down again the greater will be the shock of the
• mcDSsion; hence the painful "dot'', "dot", of groggy horses.
There is Degative evidence of navicular disease when no other
possible cause of lameness can be found, but the pointing,
the peculiar joint, the wear of the ahoe, and the varied tem-
perature of the foot, are generally positive enough to enable
an experienced veterinary surgeon to pronounce on the Beat
of disorder,

TREATMENT.

For navicular disease, there is no cure. A measure of
relief may be given in the eariy atages, and the horse kept
working for a time, but sooner or later the lameness becomes
so great as to render this out of the question. Frog setons,
blisters, and firing at the coronet, and bleeding at the toe,
have all been tried, but in vain. Sometimes the treatment
adopted tor contraction, viz., a dose of physic, cold poultices,
a blister to the coronet, and a run at grass seems to giva
relief, but it is only temporary; the lamenesB grows gradually
worse, there is ulceration of the navicular bone or adhesion,
and preaently rupture of the flexor tendon, and the horse
becomes useless; RsBt does not Eeem to help the animal,
indeed, it haB been frequently remarked that "The longer they
stand in the worse they come out." If the lame animal is
put to slow work on soft ground, the disease is found to make
slower progress than if it ia retained at road work.
ON-NERVING.
The grand remedy in caaea of navicular disease ia the oper-
ation of neurotomy. This does not cure the diseased struc-
ture, but it takes away all pain and consequent lameness,
and makes the horse useful for a period, depending on the
care in selection of cases, and the carefulness of the shoeing
smith. Neurotomy is an operation that requires scientific
training on the part of the operator. It consists in removing
about an inch of the nerves that supply the foot with aenaa-
tion. The horae ia cast, the foot to be operated upon released
from the hobbles, the hair closely clipped, and a Iranaverse
incision made through the skin just above the paatero, the
nerve aearched for, freed from connective tisBOA cut through,
and about an inch removed from the side moBt remote from
the nerve-centre.

There are aeveral ways of performing the operation which
need not be entered into. The high operation jnst described
is the best; the nerve being divided above its bifurcation, all
■ msation is then removed from the foot. The want of judg-
ment in selecting subjects for the operation has brought it
into disrepute. But for horses incurably lame, either from
riDgbone, side-bone, or navicular disease, it becomes a ques-
tion of this sort:

I have an animal tliit is absolutely worthleos, because it ii
cruel to work it. If I have it unnerved, and it only lasts six
months, its labors will have repaid me for the cost of the op*
oration. But, instead of only lasting six months, it mar,
with judicioas treatment, last eight or ten years, or until the
horae meets ita end from aome otber cause, so that, instead
of being passed from hand to hand until it goes from bad to
worse, not only in disease, but as to owner, the animal is
usefully performing all the work that we can ask a horse to
do. The success of the operation is immediate. The horse
gets up sound, but about three weeks, often less, are neces-
sary for the wounds to heal. Instead of a cripple, we have
an animal that step3 as freely as on the day it was foaled, no
blundering or stumbling, as some suppose. It may be rid*
den down hill, over rough reads, with perfect security. I
have seen unnerved horses used for every purpose, and out
of Borne scores of cases which I have operated upon have
only known two that went wrong from causes other tban
preventable ones, and these were from disintegration of the
tendoD, which causes the heel to bulge out and the toe to
turn up.

Sometimes ngivi-tnmor* form on the cut end of the nerve,
and this happens when taken too soon to work after the op-
eration iB performed, but the removing of a neuroma is a
aimple affair. Pricks from shoeing or other injeries that
with feeling in the foot would cause the auimat to go lame,
and so receive treatment, in the unnerved animal pass un-
noticed, there being no sensation; these suppurate and cause
the hoof to drop off. This is one of tbe drawbacks to the
operation, but in everything connected with horseflesh In
is a great element. In any case, we have an incurably lam<
horse; with neurotomy we have a possibly useful servant.

Farfaletta, bay mare 23 years old, by imported Australian dam
Elkhorna, by Lexington, is dead at Fleetwood Farm, near
Frankfort. Among other good ones she produced the well
known horse Falsetto. Buchu, chestnut mare, 20 vears old

St. George in the Denver Horse, says: I had a talk with
Frank Harper yesterday about his stallions. He thinks that
Longfellow is the greatest stallion in America, and that Jils
Johnson is the worst. In reply I told him that he would rind
RosBington to be equal if not superior to either. His answer
was "Maybe so." He intends to breed Belle Knight, the dam
of Freeland and other good ones, to Longfellow as long as the
old horse lives, and then he would give Rossington a chance
at tbe great matron.

Kiog Solomon of old was a large importer of horses from
Egypt, says an exchange, and with his wealth, wisdom and
power he is likely to have secured the best, so lhat there is
something very credible in the Arab tradition that their best
horses descend from the stud of Solomon. Mahomet appears
to have severely tested the powers of the Arabian mare, and
as he would be able to obtain the best, mares that had en-
dured such tests from him would naturally become celebrated
and thus the Arabs get another starting point in the pedigree
of their best horses more than 1,600 years later than the reign
of Solomon.

The Beverwyck stable (owner of Castaway II.) is com-
posed of ex-Mayor Nolan of Albany and Johnny Campbell of
trottine horse fame. Campbell is known as one of the
smoothest men on the turf, and his winnings on tbe race, in
bets alone, are stated on reliable authority to be $27,000.
Next to Campbell, Dan DeNoyelles, owner of the trotter Frtd
Folger, brother of the famous Guv, is tbe biggest winner, bis
profits being placed at $17,000. E A. Buck of the Spirit of
the Times, who is another of Campbell's friends, is said to
have won $10,000.

An exchange says Castaway II., the winner of the Brook-
lyn, is a plain-lookiDg bay colt by Outcast, out of Lucy
Lisle, 15 3 hands high. He has always been a fair performer
in sloppy going, but a mile and a quaiter was always con-
sidered beyond the limitB of his powers. He ran this Bpriog
at the New Jersey tracks with varying success. The result
of the race proved one thing, that seasoned horses are tbe
ones to back, the first three horses in the handicap having
been running for a month or more.

Mr. Sampson, or Charlie Sampson as he is better known,
left for Denver last Monday. Denver has had several visi-
tors on the ooast this season, viz , Mayor DuBois, genial
Lake DuBois and Clifton Bell, but none were more popular
than Mr. Sampson, whose eaBy, unassuming manner and
general all-round knowledge made him a great favorite with
all. His place in the Palace coterie of well informed raring
men will be hard to fill, and a seat will always be vacant at
the round table where he, Hickok, and the rest of the boyB
most do congregate. After our last conversation with Mr,
Sampson, we only said adieu, as he promi&eB to return in
the Fall.

TheOregonian says: Superintendent E. W. Allen, of the
Industrial Exposition Association, is busy with the prospec-
tus of the fair tbis fall. The fat Btock department is to re-
ceive very prominent attention at the hands of the associa-
tion. The premiums in this department will aggregate $5,-
500, practically doubling up on last year. _A good portion of
the first week of the fair will be devoted to the fat stock de-
partment, including the horse and cattle day, sheep and
wool day, and the barbeoue day, when an old fashioned bar-
becue will be held, and toasts proposed by W. M. Ladd,
chairman of tbe committee, and responded to by leading
stockmen. The fair will devote its Becond day to tbe press
and will extend many courtesies in tbe way of suburban ex-
cursions, a banquet, etc., to the newspaper men of the Pacific
Northwest.

A suit, of interest to horsemen, was tried on May 12th,
says the N. Y. Times, before Chief Justice Mercer Beasley.
It was one brought by Joseph Reilly, a lawyer of Red Bank,
against Augustus W. Weingardt of New York, the owner of a
stable of race horses. Reilly's suit was based upon a breaoh
of contract. An attachment had been secured against Wein-
gardt by Stephen B. Billings for wages due his son, John
Billings, the jookey, for mounts on Wellington, the race
horse. Reilly acted as Weingardt's counsel and wai victori-
ous in the case, and as Weingardt did not pay the amouDt
due him he attached Weingardt's horses. Charles Littlefield,
the trainer, and HarrisOolev, tbe jockey, became Weingardt's
bondsmen. The jury rendered a verdict this afternoon
against Weingardt for the full amount claimed, $300, with
costs and interest added.

The catalogue of the Rancho Del Paso yearlings to be sold
on June 30th in New York is one of the moHt perfect ever is-

pedigree of each of the youngsters.

D. A.McAlliBter(La Giande.Ore) has sold to William Cush-
man, the two year old filly by Lemoot (by Almont 33) out of

die, three year old record 2:27^.

John Splan says "My experience tells me there aro two
kinda of game horses; the first and very much the most num-
erous are the ones who plod along and try as long as their
drivers force them. The other, which is scarce, are the
ones that have- the disposition born in tbem to make an ev-
erlasting struggle ut the critical moment."

CharloB Marvin says, for a two-year-old stallion, I think
three or four mares are really beneficial. I would not give
him more than six and they should be well distributed over
the Beaaon. For a three-year-old stallion 20 mares should be
the outside limit; and they should be well distributed, too.
A four year old atallion can comfortably cover 30 to 35 mares;
and at five years old he should take a full season. I believe
50 mares furnish a heavy enough season lor any hoise to

The English Derby now looks as though it would be Sore-
foot or Sanfoin. Surefoot is a bay colt by Wisdom, dam by
Galopin— winner of Derby in 1875* out of MisB Foote; he is
the property of Mr. W. A. Merry, and easily accounted for
The Two Thousand. Sanfoin is said by a well koowo writer
on turf matters, to be a bright chestnut, blaze face, off hind
shank white half-way to hocks, and near white hiud fetlock;
exquisite shoulders, grandly arched loins, deep and powerful
quarlers, olean hocka, and Btanris true ou good legs and feet;
he is by Springfield out of Sanda, and was bred by "Her
Majesty," being bought by John Porter for 550 guineas as a
yearling, since then his owner has refused XG.500 for him.

One of the most prominent breeders, in conversation a
short time since with a gentleman who was about to embark
in the business, let fall these words of troth and wisdom:
"Begin at the top and breed up. Remember the faot that it
is the largest and most prominent of our breeders who are
now doing this. You cannot begin below the scale and breed
beyond it, and, besides, yon consume valuable time in the at-
tempt. If you begin at the top, every generation whioh
is added to your stock is a step in advance, but if you com-
mence at the other end you have to reach tbe slandurd of
excellence aa it now exists, and by the time you have reached
what is now regarded as the standard, it has in the mean*
time advanced also, and joa are as far away from the goal
for which you are striving as when you began. -Massachusetts

The Kentuoky Stock Farm says: Tbe farrier too often
makes a horse his patient for life by rnthiessly cutting away
the elastic cnshion, called the frog, which is nature's natnral
support for the greet flexor tendon. This cushion is nature's
provision to support the center of the horse's foot, to take off
the strain from the sensitive lamimu with which the hoof is
oonnected with the foot, to prevent tbe extreme depression
and consequent strain on the flexor tendon, and to bleak the
concussion caused by the horse's great weight coming so rap*
idly to the ground. When once severely cut away tbe frog
never entirely lecovers its original efficiency, and will be ft
very long time before it will be even moderately useful. At
the same time the enamel, like the enamel covering our fin-
ger nails, which covers the whole of tbe outside of tbe colt's
hoof, and effectually retains ita moisture and suppleness, is
rasped away to make his foot fit the shoe, and to give it a
a round and uniform shape- Tbns two of nature's most im-
portant provisions to secure an elastic tread are ruthlessly
destroyed, and the horse compelled henceforth to stump and
jar away with his sensitive foot and loaded siuewa resting
entirely on the dried and unyielding crust of his hoof, made
still more unyielding by being nailed to an iron ring.

E. J. Baldwin, the Santa Anita millionaire went to Sacra*
mento last Sunday to see his mares which have been stinted
to imported Cheviot. Mr Baldwin, while over to the Bot-
tom and was particnlarly impressed with the Rancho Del
Paso yearlings He said they were b'g, stroog and very good
looting; his favorite among the stallions was Darebin for
whom he has a very great liking.

The Kancho Del Paso colts of 18S9 are showing op well al-
ready. Arcade, Eclipse, Madge L, Pribcilla and others have
won raceB. Eclipse, who has proved such a lucky purchase,
was bought at the last Haggin sale for $325 by J. Sennett.
He is by imp Kyrle Daly out of Billow by Longfield, grand-
dam Medea by Norfolk. Eclip=e's dam Billow was a good
race mare, winning the California Stake m 1SS5, and after
foaliog Eclipse was sold in the fall or 13S8 to R. E Bybee
for $420, and proving barren was raced last year, and bred, I
think, to Leon by Leinster out of Ada by Asteroid. Last
Monday, Eclipse, in a five furlong at Brooklyn, carried 121
pounds, and won by a head from Russell, 113, and Lord
HBrry, 118. Time, lK)2f. Eclipse's owner was asked to pot
a price on him, as I mentioned some few weeks ago, and said
$25,000, but would rather not sell. One never knows when
selecting youngsters which will prove the best if equally
well bred, and this year the Rancho Del Paso youngsters are
bo eiceptionally well formed that all should be good, and
the only way to get the best is to buy them all. Kentuckians
will be astonished at the sight of so many clinkers.

The newly formed Oakland Driving Association promise8
to be a decided buccsbs. Already upwards of seventy mem-
bers are enrolled. The intention is to hold matinees on each
Wednesday and Saturday at the Trotting Park until a correct
idea of the form of the members' horses oan be arrived at,
and then hold a series.of races for members only — owners to
drive. Last Sanrday several members were speeding their
road horses, but unly two races were held. The first was for
pftcers, one mile, two heats. The entries were: Dr. Walker's
Woodchock, W. Coleman's Haverly, J. Birmingham's Oregon
Boy, C. W. Knox's Minnie R, O Emery's Sam Washington.
The first heat was won by Haverly in 2:42, Washington sec-
ond. In the second heat, Haverly who has a recora of 2:25,
was withdrawn, and Sam Washington won in 2:45, with Ore-
gon Boy second.

The next race was trotting to buggies, one mile. The
entries were: J. C. Kimball's Jim Blaine, John T. Jordan's
Mary J, Dr. Woolsey's Doctor, J. Brown's Jim, Colonel Ash-
by 's Blackbird. The first heat was won by Jim Blaine in
2~A9\, with Mary J second. The second heat was won by
Doctor In 2:58, with Jim Blaine second.

The following are the leading North Pacific dates for race
meetings:

Oregon State Fair, Salem, Sept. 15— six days.

Eastern Oregon Second District Agricultural Association,
The Dalles, Sept. 23— five days.

Montana Agricultural, Mineral and Mechanical Association
Helena, July 2 — four days; August 20— ten days.

Baker County Agricultural Association, Baker City, Sept.

Walla Walla, June 19— three days. October 6— six days,

Latah Coanty Agricultural Fair Association, Moscow, Ida-
ho, September 30— five days.

The Executive Committee of the Southern Oregon State
Board of Agriculture assure us, says the Democrat Times,
that the coming district fair at Central Point, will be made
o .e of the leading fairs of the northwest. Upwards of §2,000
will be expended in the speed riog alone, possibly as much
as $3,000, and all races after Wednesday will be free for all
horses on the coast. The fair will continue for an entire
week, six days, including a free fruit exhibition on Monday.
The event of the week iu the speed ring will be a $500 free-
for-all trot on Thursday or Friday, and several other good
parses will be bung up. Premiums will be advanced in all
classes, and especially in the live-stock departments where
sweepstakes and herd premiums will be offered, and other
important changes made. As the success of the fair is no
longer a doubtful matter, the board feels justified in making
the premiums in all departments commensurate with the im-
portance that should attacb to a district or state enterprise.
Their coarse cannot be too highly commended, as they have
no desire to accumulate a surplas in future, and the liberal
patronage sure to be bestowed by the citizens of this valley
and the district at large insures the financial success of the
fair, even though larger premiums be offered than are given
at Salem, A magnificent exhibit is assured for next full, and
the whole county will derive benefit from the holding of the

fair.

A. L. Hinds is working an exceptionally useful looking lot
of horses at the Oakland Trotting Park. They Pre of course,
the property of the San Miguel Stock Farm (with the excep-
tion of the pacer) and the nine all look exceptionally well.
In the string are three five year-olds. Balkan 2:29J who is
looking better and stronger than ever in his life is expected
to— and should, lower his record a good many notches. Xol-
land, a good looking bay gelding, is a full brother to Gus
Wilkes 2:22 and cm trot now in about 2:30 and is expected to
give Mambrino Wilkes one more iu the 2:30 list; the other
five-year old is a bay mare by Mambrino Wilkes, oat of a
John Nelson mare. The only three-year-nld Mr. Hinds has
is spacing mare by Mambrino Wilkes, dam by Chieftain.
She w»s raised near Stockton and after sho wing several quar-
ters in 35$ and 35 was purchased by a gentleman for $1,000
last week and will be left with Mr. Hinds. The two-year-
olds are the bay stallion Kodiac, full brother to Gub Wilfees
2-22. Kodiao is the pride of the stable and is expected to
make a good showing in the Occideut Stake. Chaldean is a
neat black colt, an in-bred horse, as bis Bire is Mambrino
Wilkes and bis dam Fredoliais by Fred Arnold, her dam by
Mambrino Wilkes; he ia also entered in the Occident. Myhtta
the other two-year-old ia a very trim filly by Mambrico
Wilkes out of Mollie Fern by Captain Cole, erandam Fannie
Fern, dan of Mollie Drew 2:27. Balkan 2:29*. she looks as
though she will not diegraee her distinguished relatives. The
twoyearlirgs »re Sargon, a SDlendiHly shaped yearling by
Mambrino Wilkes oat of Contra by Electioneer, she out of a
thoroughbred mire. The colt shows a good deal ci qaality
being neatly turned and well finished; a Wilkes all over and
bas an easy pure gait. The other two-year-old is a leggy
bay filly by Mambrino Wilkes out of Kitty by Conductor.

A similar race having proved so attractive last season, the
Twin City Jockey Clab has decided to open a sweepstake for
gentlemen rideis, the race to be run at Ub impending sum-
mer meeting. The first prize will be piece of" silver plate,
emblematic of racing, valued at $500. The entrance will be
$10 each, play or pay, to accompany the nomination, and
to go to the second horse. Horses named must be owned by
the nominator at the time of closing the entries, five or more
to enter and three to start, or the race may be declared off.
The distance will be one mile, weights 28 pounds above the
scale, and extra weight will be allowed. The standard scale
of weight for age for July, 1890, ia as follows, and pro-
spective nominators can figure the weight at which they will
start: One mile, two years, 79; 3 years, 109; 4 years, 122;
5, 6 and aged, 124. No conditions interposing, fillies. 2 yeais
old, allowed 3 pounds; mares, 3 years old and upwards,
allowed 5 pounds; gelding allowed 3 pounds. Secretary Shaw
has received assurances from a number of owners that there
will be a large field.

A good story, the truth of which is vouctied for, says the
Buffalo Commercial, is told of a certain dealer in horses in this
city (Buffalo). The dealer in question had been endeavoring
for some time to secure a fast pacer. He finally succeeded in
purchasing, for a long price, one that had shown a mile in
2:27. The horse was taken to the stable and comfortably
domiciled in a box stall. The head salesman was absent
when the horse was brought in, and when he returned the
proprietor, with an assumption of pride and importance,
showed him the pacer and asked him in a joking way, if he
thought any one would give a hundred dollars for him. The
salesman replied that he thought he could get that much for
him. Nothing more wbb said at the time, but during the
day the salesman, while driving on the avenue, met a gentle-
man who was in search of a pacer. The latterasked the sales-
man if he knew where he could get one cheap. The sales-
man replied that he thought the identical animal was at that
time in the stable. They both repaired to the stable, and
finding the proprietor absent, the pacer was brought out and
put through his paces up and down the boulevard. The
time was satisfactory and the price asked, $150 promptly
paid and the horse delivered. In the evening when the
dealer returned the salesman informed him, with a good deal
of satisfaction, that he had sold the pacer at fifty dollars ad-
vance. "What did yon get for him?'' queried the dealer.
"One hundred and fifty dollars," said the salesman, unable
to account for the sudden pallor which overspread the
countenance of the other. "One hundred and fifty dollars,"
moaned the dealer; "why I paid $500 for him this morning."

There should be some one to enlighten the amateur horse-
men in the use of the check rein, says the Sporting World,
from the faot of there being a namber that have a tendency
to imitate their neighbors. When any of these people see a
horse hitched they go home and try the same plan, frequent-
ly checking a colt up as high as they can, and start in to
break him. The result is that nine out of ten are partially
spoiled and develop a dislike for the check, and it is years
before they are cored of the habit of tossing their head. If
the beginner would use a little forethought and check a colt
np gradually, he would soon find the natural position and
avoid future trouble. Under such treatment the colt wili
soon learn to drive pleasantly and speed without pulling.
One colt likes an overdraw, another a side check, and so on;
therefore the driver should endeavor to get a kind that will
suit. It is never safe to check a colt up until such a point
is reached, as he will do hi i work easier and with more de-
termination. This is especially true of the trotter and road
horse. Get him where he trots steady and easy, after his
feel are balanced, and do not try to drive him in 2:20 the
first week. Wait patiently and find where he likes his head
and what kind of check or bit makes him feel most comfor-
table. In nearly every town an observing man sees horses
speed up the streets, over cross walks with their heads stuck
up in the air as if they were taking astronomical lessons.
Snch a method is not the best way to make a good track
horse, or even a safe roadster, as he has not liberty enough
to see his way or what ia going on around him. Give the
horse a little freedom in harness, treat him kindly and speak
to him when he is doing his work. It does not cost anything,
and it win3 his confidence.

An old turfman writes the following (to the Turf, Field
and Farm), which gives subject for reflection to those con-
templating breeding enterprises: "Dr. Merritt, the Virginia
turfman, importer of Priam, Margrave and Lnzborongh, once
remarked that if he were (after his observation and experi-
ence) to establish a stock farm he wonld purchase one on
which race horses had been bred and no other; not an adjoin-
ing one, even, for there were differences in soil, water and
grasses not to be detected or discovered by the eye. He
declared that Mr. Brodnax, the breeder of Virginian and
Virginia Lafayette (incestuously bred, by the way) was the
most successful breeder in Virginia, and that his farm in
Brunswick County, where the lands were poor and not attrac-
tive in appearance, had succeeded, while his neighbors, stim-
ulated by his success, had failed, and that there must have
been something in the grasses and water on his that their
farms did not possess.

To support this view, note thedifference in success between
the stud farms of Erdenbeim and Chesterbrook, near Phila-
delphia. One produces racerB like Iroquois, Sensation, Par-
dee and Rataplan, the other a fewsecond rate winners. When
Sir L. Newman, a young English tarfman, determined many
years Bgo to establish a large stud farm in Devonshire County,
a writer in Bell's Life in London predicted bis failure on the
around that several previous attempts had failed, and that
there was something unknown which would defeat his aims.
The prediction became true, for with Gemma di Vergy as the
head stallion, and the American mare Prioress as one Df the
matrons, the enterprise was abandoned after Beveral years'
trial.

Recently in The Field, a writer from France about the stud
farms there, in commenting on the success of one and the ill-
succesB of another, states that they are similar in every res-
pect, soil, surface, climate and water, and are but eight miles
apart, and that the proximity of the non-successfnl farm to
the ocean is the probable reason for the failure. Now, will
the baneful effects of the ocean winds account for Glen Cove,
on Long Island, sheltered from winds, rearing the racers
American Eclipse, Treasurer and Dove: and Babylon, exposed
to the ocean breezes, being abandoned by Mr. Belmont, who has
removed his mares to Keotucky ? Perhaps Mr. Wither's partial
sncc9es may be attributed to this proximity to old ocean as
compared to that achieved where Fashion, Mariner and Clar-
ion were bred, not far from hia stud farm.

Referring to the fifth race at Brooklyn on the 16th, in
which Anderson had such a narrow escape, the St. Louis
Republic says:

Mr. Pierre Lorrillard was on hand to back hia filly, but
third was the beat she could do, while William Daly or
Father Bill, if you choose, gave the boys an eye opener in
the fifth by winning with Dalsyrian. Rancocas was the
favorite, and while at the post in a break away the colt was
knocked to his knees. Spider Anderson, who had the mount,
was thrown to the track and two horses ran over him. The
Spider staggered to his feet and reeling would have fallen had
nut Jim, the starter's assistant caught him.

"Ob, Jim," sobbed the boy, "I'm killed snr»; take me to
the stand qoick." Jim picked the boy up in his arms and
placing him in the starter's wagon the team were whipped
into a gallop. Nine-tenths of thoBe in the .-tud thought the
colored lad was dead when he was placed on a stretcher and
lay motionless. His jacket was torn to rags He was
hurriedly carried to the jocky's room and a doctor sum-
moned. After a time he revived, and the doctor asking him
how he felt remarked:

"I goess you are all right now; you were more Beared than
hurt."

The renowned crap-player from Maryland resented this
slur on his pluck by retorting:

"D — d if I don't ride that horse yet," and getting on his
feet he walked out and, Rancocas having been canght and
brought to the paddock, the Spider remounted amid the
cheers of the crowd He did not win. bat did the next best
thiug, ran second. Anderson is a nervy boy. A year ago
Juggler seized him by the leg and pulled him out of the Bad-
die when he was up on Fides and shook him as a terrier
would a rat. Anderson faiuted with the pain, but remounted
Fides and won the race.

That well know authority, J. G. Truman says. The hack-
ney horse is, without contradiction, the oldest breed of coach
horse in existence — tracing back, registered, to Shales (699),
foaled in tbe year 1755. They originated a3 far back as 200
years, when the Norfolk trotting mares were crossed with
Arabian and thoroughbred stallions. The Norfolk trotters
have always been noted for their very high knee-action.

In the first volume of the hackney stud. I find Bellfounder
(55) foaled in the year 1S16. sired by Bellfounder (52), dam,
Velocity. The horse was imported into the United States by
James Booth, of Boston, July 11, 1S22. When at six years
old, he trotted nine miles in twenty-nine minutes and thirty-
eight seconds, his owner challenging to perform 17} miles in
one hour, but was not accepted. Bellfounder (55), while
under control of Col. Jacques, was leased by him to Mr.
Timothy T. K'ssam, of New York, he describes him as fol-
lows:

Imported Bellfounder had a small head and ears; full promi-
nent eyes, and wide apart; neck, medium length, set well np
from tne withers; shoulders deep and oblique; deep girth
and full chested; fore legs wide apart; Bhort back, round
ribbed, and very broad on the loins; hips wide and well
gathered in; full quarters to hocks, and short to fetlocks;
limbs strong and w 11 muscled, broad and flat below the
knees and hocks; pasterns, rather short; concave hoofs and
open heels; tail and mane full-haired; had a large star on fore-
head, with a diamond strip on end of nose or lip, one biod
pastern white, and a little white on the opposite fore foot at
the heel. Bellfounder's dam, Velocity, trotted in the year
1808, 28 miles in one hour and 47 minutes. I find that the
dam of Rysdyk'e Hambletonian (10) is eired by Bellfounder
(55). The trotting horses of America to-day are noted not
only for their speed but their power of endurance, which they
certainly owe chiefly to the infusion of hackney blood
through Bellfounder.

The Terre Haute Express says: It was a genial party that
gathered in the smoking-room of the Terre Haute House last
Saturday evening. The veteran Orrin Hickok, who brought
out St. Julien, Arab and a host of other good ones; John
Splan, the developer of Rarus, and who set Guy to going;
Budd Doble. the taciturn but able horseman who brought
out the mighty Doxter, the queen of all campaigners — Gold-
smith Maid, and now part owner and trainer of Axtell- the
"Kid Drivers," Dickerson and Patterson, pre-eminent among
the young horsemen of the country; W. G. Pollock, one of
Cleveland's wealthiest citizens and an admirer of horseflesh;
Mr. W. P. Ijama and Mr. Frank McKeeo. Talk turned
upon the fast Cleveland track, and naturally shifted to the
mighty deeds done over it. The story of the triumph of the
trotting queen, Maud S, was told in Splan's inimitable stjle.
How Bair gave her a warming up mile of 2:12* and a repeat
of 2:11|, how Splan said to the darky Swipe. "Get out the
sulky for the runner and if Maud S beats her record I will
give yoa half the stuff." "Smoke who had seen tho two
hard drives said, "Boss, 1 guess I won't take that off.r, but
will sell you my share for five bright dollars." The drive
was made from the wire at a killing pace, and when the tbird
quarter was passed, the mare swerved, Splan yelling to Bair,
"See, she can never make it." Just then Bair made for the
whip, and Splan thought the mare was done for. With a
telling force the gad was used. She being too close to the
fence to break, collected all her energies, shot forward, the
runner hugging close, and the mile was done in 2:08J, which
has stood to the preseot day.

'*I know of no animal." said Hickok reminiscently. "that
is in many respects her equal. I used to think she was
driven too hard, bat I now believe she required all that work
to bring her to an edge."

Doble was interrogated, "if in his opinion, the horses
twenty years ago were as good as now..' The answer was,
"Yob; George M. Patchen and Dexter were the equal of auy
horBes now living, when we take into consideration the crude
tracks, appliances and the manner of blanketing, and draw-
ing fine then in vogue. There were not so many of them.
but the few good ones were as good as the best nowadays."
"You will have to except one," said Splan, "for I believe Ax-
tell will come nearer touching Maud S's record than any
horse that I have ever seen. I saw bim at Cedar Rapids ss
a two-year-old, and I then wrote Mr. Bonner, whose interest
in tbecolt was even then aroused, that he was as pure a
gaited horse as 1 had ever seen I believe the day of the
two-minute trotter is not so far off as a great maoy people
think. When you get a horse with the pure gait of Axtell
and the stamina of Maud S doing quarters in 2S4 or 29 sec-
onds, the 2:00 minute trotter will be due."

"How fast do yon tbink Axtell was going under the wire
Mr. Doble. when he made his record?"

"It was hard to jud^e with so smooth a going animal. I
should have said at the time not better than a 2:30 gait, and
he surely was not going faster than 2:25 . "

The bright aad interesting talk kept on until well into the
evening. Such a gathering of brainy men interested in the
light harness horse is rare, and one takes no note of time
while listening to their fund of experience.

Old Black Joe .

" V-.

Oar readers will be interested in the excellent picture of
that great pointer Old Black Joe, owned by Mr. Jas. E. Wat.
son. Joe won the Derby and the all aged stake of his year
in grand style, and was one of the best dogs ever whelped.
He died soon after Mb return from the field trial, of distem-
per.

The picture is of the dog as he appeared when making Mb
last point in the trial. It shows the uerviness of the dog but
not Mb first rate form. But one of his puppies is alive, we
believe and whether that is being trained we do not know-

More Pointers.

Bassford will never be forgotten and if the Pointer men will
only breed judiciously, train their dogs systematically and
give them an opportunity to get to the front there seems to
be no reasons why the Pointer should not be the special dog
of the Pacific Slope. A. B. Trumax.

He will have it nicely mounted.

Baron von Schroders pointer dog Point, loss of which was
noted a few weeks since has been found and returned to his
owner, who is now at his ranch near Templeton.

We have to acknowledge receipt of a delightfnl lettei from
Mr. Edward Dexter full of interesting notes about Main
spring, King olKent.Rip Rap, and the other famous pointers
of his kennel. Next week we may present a resume of bis
pointer notions.

The draw for the coming meeting of the Occidental Cours-
ing Club will be made on the evening of Tuesday May 27th,
at Mr. William Schreibers, 21 Kearney St.. City. After tbe
draw the club will be entertained at dinner by Secretary J
F. Carroll.

We are indebted to some careless proof reader for, the op-
portunity to again mention the recent benedictine indulgence
of 3 Mr. J. M. Kilgarif. In last weeks paper he was made to
embark upon the sea of "Monterey" instead of "Matrimony".
Upon any sea he is sure to sail serenely.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In sending notice of
the visit of my Pointer Patti Croxteth T. to Rush T. I de-
Bire if permissible to make a comment or two. Rush T. is
the only dog I have ever UBed as aire with Patti. Patli's first
litter of eight all proved to be good ones. Two of them will
start in the all-aged BtakeB of the Paoifio Coast Field Trial
Club in January next and I confidently expect each of them
to be placed. Only four of the litter have been exhibited at
bench shows and the following wins are credited to them;
Mr. R. K. Gardener's Tennis won second, and my Rab T.
won third «t the Pacific Kennel Club show in 1889. Mr. E.
K. Benchley'a Kan Koo, one of the litter when ten months
old won first in the open class and a special for the best sport-
ing dog or bitch under a year old at Los Angeles in 1889; also
first in the open class for light weight Pointers and a special
for the best Pointer dog in the show at Los Angeles a few
weeks ago; a third of the litter my Quean Croxteth T. won
first in heavy bitohes and a special as one of the best breeding
kennel on exhibition at Los Angelas recently. I claim tlit
title ohampion under the American Kennel Club Rules for
my Pointer bitoh Champion Patti Croxteth T. winner of four
first and ten special prizes. For my IriBh Red Setter dog
Champion Mike T. winner of five first and fonrteen special
prizes. For my Irish Red 8etter bitch Champion Lady Elcbo

"The challenge class shall be for all doga having won four

prizes in ibis class shall havb the privilege of the title of cham-
pion without further competition." It was indeed a p'eas
ure to note at Los ADgeles a few weeks ago that Pointers were
coming into vogue. The general opinion of the sportsmen
gathered at the dog show there was that the short haired ner-
vy, thoroughbred looking, heat-enduring Pointer was tbe
dog of all dogs for use in California and I think it is not un-
true to Bay that 8an Francisco sportsmen agree with their
southern bretbren'in tbe belief. Since Mr. Wm. Scbreiber,
Mr. Will Kittle, Mr. P. D. Linville, Mr. E. W. Bnggs and
otherB have actively takeu up Pointer culture, the average
quality of the breed on this coast has improved marvellously,
until now dogs may be had here of as high type, fine quality
and Rreat excellence in field attributes as anywhere in the
world. The pioneer work in Pointers done by Mr. G. W, ,

J. M. Bassford, Jr., was in town on Monday last to make
his field trial entries and discuss the matter of judges for the
next trials. He insists upon fair, unprejudiced men who
will watch the work of both dogs in each heat, and who will
decide in accord with honest convictions without temporis
ing.

owned by Mr. E. W. Briggs at 630 Market street, which was
confined closely while in season and Dot bred. After the
usual time she was allowed liberty, and it was then noticed
that lactation was active. A tabby in the store chanced to
have kittens about her and the dog drove away the cat. ap

THE GUN.

Ihe North Pacific Game and Fish Club.

Upon invitation of Mr. Alfred V. LaMotte, manager of the
olub, two days of last week were passed at the preserves near
Ukiah, in company with Mr. LaMotte and Mr. Will Rix^
Leaving the city at 7:40, by way of the San Franoisco and
North Pacific Railway, five hours are consumed most quick,
ly riding through peerless Sonoma County, where everything
now is luxuriant — fat orchards, fragrant vineyards, wide ex-
panses of flower starred plain, emerald mountains, tumbling
trout streams, and Mr. LaMotte's huge hamper full of glass
ware and Hamburg pate combined to induce a beatific
frame of mind and to prepare one for the excellent entei"
tainment of mine host Hirsch of the Grand Hotel in Ukiah.
Mr. Rix craoked three jokes and a half on the way up, while
Mr. LaMotte killed over again the hundreds of deer, ante-
lope, elk and bear which fell to his rifle in Sonoma and
Lake CountieB during pioneer days. Ukiah reached, a few
hours passed ia driving about thvough the country adjacent
to the city, some lively chat with Col. Jerry Donohoe and his
very courteous partner in busiDese, Mr. Johhson, then a
dreamless night and a 5 o'clock start for the preserve. Six
miles bebiod a lively span in the crisp air of tbe morning
through a naoyon surpassingly beautiful, and tbo preserve
of 8,000 acres was reaohed. After driving up through its
center so that some general idea of tbe ground, the streams

and the cover could be obtained, it appeared that a more
perfectly adapted plot of ground for a game and fish preserve
could not be imagined. The preserve is not unlike a hug6
amphitheater walled in by thickly covered chemise moun-
tains, and traversed by Robinson Creek and its branches, as
grand a trout brook as one could wish. Along the floor of
the canyon are many little flats of two or three or four acres,
upon whioh buckwheat and other suitable seeds will be
planted to sustain the Bob Whites, Grouse, PheaaantB and
other game with which the preserve is soon to to be heavily
stocked. The six miles of Robinson Creek, which also is to
be stocked and replenished annually from the hatcheries now
in course of construction, will afford t ' > e finest of fishiog for
a large number of rods. A comfortable, commodious and
handsome club house is to be erected at once. Robinson
Creek will be cleaned of the drift wood and low hanging
branches which now make fishing in parts of it rather tasking
sport. The stream runs winter and summer an ample
head of water, is full of food, running throughout its whole
extent under arching and overhanging limbs and foliage.
Mr. LaMotte and Mr. JohnBon, who accompanied the party,
were quite sure that Robinson Creek trout would uot take
the fly, but in consonance with our practice for years a small
fly and a gossamer leader were rigged, soaked and tossed into
the first pool. Immediately a lusty half-pounder smashed at
the fly as though he wanted it pretty badly, and thenceforth
we found no trouble in raising fish with our little dark
grouse hackle. By noon several pounds of nice brook fish
were in the bag, a halt was called, a goodly frying pan pro-
duced, with sufficient store of sweet corned pork and a little
bag of cracker dust, a handful of fire, and soon a fragrance
went up out of that canyon more delectable by far than any
odor to be sniffed about Delmonico's. Mr. LaMotte, Mr.
Johnson aDd Mr. Rix did the eating, another person did the
oookiDg, and it must be admitted that the cookiDg was su-
perbly done, if the quanties of fiBh devoured by the non-aot-
ive members was a guide. After lnncheon an hour or two of
rest, then four or five more hours of fishing, the result being
fifty or sixty very handsome fish, and then a return to town
and business. Mr, LaMotte's plan is to induce the joining
of fifty meD, the yearly fee to be $100, the Directors of the
S. F. and N. P. Railway to retain control of the ground, to
keep up the stand of game and fish and do the managing
generally. The place is perfectly adapted to the uses sug-
gested, and is beside a very beautiful site for a 6ummer rest-
ing place— fine springs of sulphur and other mineral waters
abound. When the list is open for signatures there will un-
doubtedly be many applicants, and a hint to those who might
care to join, to see Mr. LaMotte soon might not be amiss.

Lincoln Gun Club.

Selby Live Bird Championship.

The Lincoln Gun Club held its second monthly medal
shoot at Alameda Point on Sunday last, beginning at 10 a.
m. and lasting until late in the afternoon.

The olub has two medals — the first class and second-class
— and .the conditions are twenty Blue rocks, eighteen yards
rise for ten bores and sixteen for twelves, American Associa-
tion rules to govern.

Sixteen members shot for the first-class medal, whioh was
won by ParkB with sixteen brakes, Potter being next with
fourteen. Below are the scores:

First class— Holmes, 8; Cate, 13; Mellish, 9; Campbell, 13;
Pretzell, 4; Potter, 14; Kearney. 13; Brnns, 10; Soovern, 13;
ParkB, 16; Ford, 13; Fisher, 9; Franzen, 12; White, 12; Mail-
lot, 4; Allen, 9.

Second olass— Venker, 12; Quinton, 8; Boilings, 8; Brown,
9.

A pool at six singles and six double birds, $1 entrance with
twelve entries, was won bv Brans with a score of eigh', H.
Golden being second vith seveD.

On Saturday laBt, at Oakland Trotting Park, the first con-
test for the Selby medal for live bird shootiog, was brought
off. It was expected that Mr. Crittenden Robinson, Mr. Ned
Fay, Mr. Heary Bassford and many others, would enter, but
only four contestants participated.

Shooting commenced at 10 o'clock, and though the hour
was rather early for a full attendance of sportsmen, outside
of those directly interested, the number of those present
gradually increased as the day wore on.

The medal given is open for competition to all residents of
the Pacific Coast, and is emblematic of the Coast champion-
ship. All matches are to be shot under the rules of tbe
American Shooting Association, at forty single live birds.
Each time a competitor wins the medal he will be s*t back
one yard in tbe next match in which he may again compete
for it.

The birds were average, with now and then a driver, and
the shooting was very fine. Mr. C. B. Smith's score of 37
stamDS him the peer of any local Bhot. He used an L. C.
Smith gun, and killed his birds cleaoly, as did Mr. Eddy.
Both Mr. "Randall" and Mr. Haas were clear "off."

In the afternoon Capt. Brewer, the champion trap-shot of
the world, paid his firBt visit to_the gun grounds. "As yot,"
he said, in answer to inquiries, "nothing has been signed,
seoled or delivered in the matter of matches here, but three
or four are ou the cards that are likely to prove somewhat
exciting. Anyway, I mean to stay right here for a while yet
in the hopes of making some matches."

After the msdal match had been shot off, $5 pool-shooting
was indulged in, C. J. Haas and "Randall" dividing the first,
R. A. Eddy winning the second, with C. B. Smith next, C.
J. Haas again winning tbe third.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I hope before a great
while to have the pleasure of again meeting yon. I am now
on my way to the Paeifio Coast, and unless something hap-
pens, shall certainly be there. I am now with the American
Arms Co. of BoBton, and am introducing their new Hammer-
less Shot Gun and Safety Hammerless Revolver, which is
meeting with good sales. We shall move our factory to
BlnBton, Ala , in about three months. The company has
been re-organized.

I saw Major Hammond, of Forest and Stream, yesterday,

The sixth annual tournament of the Sportsman's Associa-
tion of the Northwest will be held in Portland, Oregon, June
12 13 and 14. It will he conducted under the auspices of
the Multnomah Rod and Gun Club, which has been reorgar-
ized with T. Msir President, and Buell Lsmberson Secretary
and Treasurer. Prizes aggregating $6,000 will be offered.
There will be the usual medal for the best average. It was
won two years ago by A. W. Eberly of Tacoma, and last year
by Zeno Doty of Whatcom. Then there will be the Associa-
tion gold badge valued at $250, and the Tacoma Globe dia-
mond trophy to sboot for.

' It will be the biggest meeting of the association ever
held " said Secretary Lamberson recently. "When we were
in Tacoma last year we were treated well, and we told the
South people that Portland was a great town, and whan they
come here in June we want to make our word good. San
Francisco has promised to send a team and Helena and Butte
are corresponding with us with that object in view."

One of the most distressing accidents that has happened
in this community for a long time occurred in the hills north
of Hot Springs about eighteen mil»s from Ukiah, last Sun-
day evening says the Ukiah Dispatch Democrat. Wm. T.
HolliDgsworth and Pomery Field were spending the day
hunting in the hills, and along the evening they wounded a
deer which ran into a thicket close by. In order to mike
Barer of their game the two boys separated, aDd in a few min-
utes Hollingsworth shot at what he supposed was the deer,
but which proved to be his companion. The deadly bullet
struck Field in the back and went clear through his body,
splintering the back bone and hip, and cutting in two the
large intestines. Fields was still conscious when Hollings-
worth re»ched him. and upon considering matters it was de-
cided that the latter had better go to Hot Springs— five miles
—to procure assistance. It was a terrible trip over the rough,
broken country, and at midnight, when the rescuing party
arrived at the scene of the tragedy, the poor victim was cold

"^is body was brought to Ukiah on Monday, and a Cor-
oner.B inquest was held by Dr. Bond, the verdict wholly ex-
onerating Mr. Hollingsworth.

[Moralizing ia worthless to the victim of such terrible mis-
fortune, nor can it intensify the grief of fhe man who fired
the fatal shot, but the item may serve to impress caution
upon those who will soon go into the bruBh to shoot deer.
It might be suggested that the persons mentioned were
breaking the law in shooting deer in May, the Beason not
opening until July 1st. — Ed.]

ROD.

How High Will a Salmon Leap?

This is a question at present agitating the experts repre-
aeoting respectively a well known angling paper of Gotham
and a fishing and shooting weekly of the "Hub. The latter
representative quotes one of the New York Commissioners
as saying "I saw myself at Mechamcsville lest snmmer a
salmon that jumped vertically ten feet at least " The form-
er rather inclines to the belief that six feet is the limit says
The Week's Sport. Without doubt the swiftness of the cur-
rent against which the fish is contending is a prime factor in
the result I have seen a large brown trout (s. fario) leap up
from comparatively still water over a dam that measured
eight feet, the fish being probably ten ponnds; but though I
have watched salmon trying a similar feat, I cannot state bb
a fact that so great a height was accomplished. Still, if a
trout can do it, doubtless the "lordly" salmoo can, also.
There are many noted leaps of this fish on record in tht
works of the European fishermen. "Ephemera" (Mr. Fitz-
gibboo, long the angling editor of Bell's Life in London),
says, in his splendid book on the salmon: "I have seen a
grilse, and not a verv large one, jump upwards and forwards,
somewhat obliquely, the length-I aod another calculated—
nf mv fiahina ™d. that is. seventeen feet." Mr. Young (In-

also told Fitzgibbon
in the course of

over a fall of 30 feet. To which one may retort, credal ju~
daeus apella.

Some other curious stories of this leaping power of the sal-
mon are to be found in angling literature, and each one ap-
pears to be so authoritative in the light of both internal and
external evidence that one may fairly ask if he is warranted
in rejecting them. One jotted down from the British Natur-
alist is to the effect that the Frasers of Lovat — real blue
blood of "bonnie" Scotland — were wont to astonish their
guests with the voluntary cooking ot a salmon, self-caught,
self-cooked. A kettle of water was set over a fire at the side
of a fall selected, and the company waited until the leaping
salmon fell into the cauldron and was thus boiled in their
presence. Mr. Cholmonrieley Fennell also speaks of a sal-
mon leaping over the heads of two young ladies who were
seeking to prevent its escape from a cut de sao in the river.
It fell on dry ground; and was duly carried home in triumph.
By the way, in Brown Goode's "American FisheB," there is a
reproduction of an instantaneous photograph of a salmon
leaping np a cataract. It appears in mid-air, and is particu-
larly well denned.

How does the salmon leap? This is what Ansonius, the
fourth century poet of the Moselle, says, being interpreted:

Nor 'will I pass the glittering salmon by,
With crimson flesh within of sparkling dye.

A hidden impulse first disturbs the stream
That silent flows; then upward darts the gleam
At middle water; and the bounding fish
Strife ea with bis quivering tail, in earnest wish
To dart aloft.

The salmon certainly strikes the water beneath the surface
with its tail, and so far our poet is an accurate observer. It
has since his time been gravely asserted that it takes its tail
in its month, and bounds like a piece of whalebene bent in a
similar fashion; but this is a view not at all justifiable. The
following is probable, "and, as far as observation goes, the
true modus operandi: Id making its spring it first sinks rap-
idly by an upward action of the fins, and then, suddenly re-
versing their aotion, and finding a point d'appui in the
volume of water under it, and bringing the saltant power of
its muscles into requisition, it bounds beyond the water's
surface in an obliquely vertical direction. The greatest
power is furnished by its propeller, the caudal fin of tail."

the large skin waterfall was blasted, its first ledge was 16 feet
from the surface sf the water when the river was at its aver-

The nineteenth annual meeting of the American Fisheries
Society opened at Put-in-Bay, Ohio, on May 14th. The so-
ciety iB the largest and most important of its kind in the
world, and consists of scientific gentlemen interested in
ichthyology and members of various State fish and game com-
missions. The society was this year entertained by the Ohio
commission, and the gathering was called for Put-in Biy,
the location of the largest fresh-water hatchery in the worl<i.
The meeting was called to order by President EugeDe G.
Blackford. The following members were present: New York,
Eugene Blackford, Fred Mather, E. P. Doyle; Minnesota,
Robert Ormsby Sweeney; Georgia. Dr: H. H. Cary; Pennsyl-
vania, Henry C. C. Ford, W. L. Powell, James Vernon Long;
MichigTD, Hoyt Post, HanceJl Whitaker, L. T. Spencer, J.
K. Webster; Wisconsin. James Nevin; Ohio, John H. Low,
Dr. J. A. Fenshall. C. N. Osborn, Emery D. Potter; Nebras-
ka, W. L. May. President Blackford delivered the opening
address, recalling the society's history and directing atten-
tion to the bill introduced in Congress placing the United
Statee Fish Commissioner under the control of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture. Mr. Blackford strongly argued against
the proposition to band the commission over to the politicians
and advised taking some action. The great work of the New
York Commission was then explained. "Reports from the
regions of streams," said Mr. Blackford, "indicate that, where-
ever we have placed our fry, front are unprecedentedly num-
erous. The success of our shad in the Hudson Biver alone
recompenses the State for its fishery outlay." The BtockiDg
of salmon in rivers wherein it had never existed was men-
tioned as a positive success. The support given the com-
mission by the courts in vigorously prosecuting violators of
the law was given as another encouraging indication.

Treasurer Henry C. Ford of Philadelphia, Babmitted the
society's financial statement. A communication from Super-
intendent F. N. Clark of the Michigan sta'ion of the United
States Fish Commission was read, in which he referred to
fish culture as being in its infancy. Thequfstion of hatching
eggs, he said, is thoroughly understood, but that of distribu-
ting fish at the proper time and in proper places iB one of
very great importance. I am thoroughly convinced of the
practicability of rearing fish to be planted in new waters.
Mr. Clark stated that 5,000,000 trout will be distributed the
coming winter in the streams of the Northwest

Mr. Whitaker of Michigan moved that a committee of three
be appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the sentiment
of the society on the proposition to incorporate the Fish
Commission with the Bureau of Agriculture. The motion
was carried and the committee was announced as follows:
Mr. Whitaker, Mr. Osborne of Ohio, and Mr. Powell of
Pennsylvania. On motion of D*. Sweeney of Minnesota, it
was deoided to hold the next meeting in Washington, D. C.
The hearing of papers from members of the society was then
beeun. They were as followi:

Inquiry as to What May be Done Further to Promote and
Develop the Soience, " by John F. Gay and William P. Seat

At the evening session a tariff debate was precipitated by
Commissioner Osborne of Ohio, who introduced a memorial
to Congress asking that a tariff on Canadian fish be exacted
during the season when fishing is prohibited in the States.
Secretary Doyle of New York and Judge Potter of Oh o spoke
strongly against suoh a policy. During the debate the fact
developed that nine-tenths of the society are free traders.
Mr. Osborne finally withdrew bis resolution,

Boat-Outfit for Bay Fishing.

So many hundreds of our readers go weekly during the
season to points about San Francisco and other bayB to fish,
that these suggestions from an old-time bayaDgler may not
come amiss:

It may safely be said that a fifteen to sixteen-foot boat
built like a skiff, and capable if necessary of holding two men,
is best for all practical uses in the bayB, rivers and estuaries
hereabouts. If one be wise there is seldom or never any
necessity for very hard or long polling in such boats. The
trip can generally be timed bo that advantage of the tide or
wind, or both, can be taken from and to the clnb house or
fishing station. Just a hint or two as to the appliances nec-
essary in a boat of this size aod character: The plainer the
furniture of such a boat, the better; a mushroom anchor, not
too heavy, with a light cotton line braided or plaited of sev-
enty-five to eighty feet in length, is sufficient for the bow of
the said boat, and, if it be necessary to anchor midway in a
stream or channel, which is a bid thing to do if it can be
avoided, as the boat in that case will catch all the drift or
seaweed that may be going with the tide, then a light line of
twenty-five or thirty feet in length attached to a smaller
mushroom anchor is generally sufficient to ke^ the boat
stationary, or nearly so, either as against the tide or wind.
If a boat of this description, even if it be shorter than fifteen
feet, is rowed and managed by one man, the best plan is to
have the bearing or wrghtin the boat on the third of the
boat astern. It will be always found in polling a boat of
skiff shape, that it will pull much easier and can be managed
very much better if its bow or nose is a trifle out of the water
instead of being on an even keel.

It will be found very convenient in the stern of the boat to
have a locker that can be kept dry in case any water should
get in the boat, and to accomplish this it will be necessary
to hang a shelf underneath where the top of the locker ib,
and by that means provisions and everything else can be
kept dry as loDg as one does not have to put them down, on
the bottom of the boat. The best plan to keep fishing tackle
and all the appliances used during a trip where angling is in-
tended, dry, and to preserve them from the sea water and
the dampness of the atmosphere, is to have a little drawer
under the seat on which the oarsman Bits, which he can pull
out without moving, and in which he can have little compart-
ments to keep his hooks, sinkers, floats, reels, and every-
thing else he wants.

A man to fish neatly Bbould also take with him a small
gaff hook — it need not be expensive — and also a sharp case
knife, not too long in the blade, and he will find also that if
he has the gaff hook handle made heavier than they generally
are made in the stores — in fact, as thick as a policeman's
club is for six inches of the extreme part of the handle end cf
the gaff hook — it will be a most successful instrument with
which to kill dogfish, sharks or any other fish that he does
not want to retain. In fact, it should be known that the
best plan is to kill fish as soon as they are caught, even if it
be in the hottest weather — that is, provided of course that
the fish can be brought ashore before they spoil, otherwise it
may be necessary to pack them alive into a basket, covered
with damp seaweed, and in this way they may be preserved
longer perhaps than if killed on the spot as soon as they are
canght, but if one wants to retain the flavor of a delicat* fish
like the weakfish it should be caught, killed at once and
eaten within half an hour of the time that it has been taken
out of the water.

All professional fishermen carry a club for thumping ob-
streperous fish. Usually the club is made of the end of an
oar. There is no better tool for the purpose. Rubber coat,
overcoat and lunch should be kept in a dry locker. A cup
should not be forgotten, though it is possible to drink out of
tbe old stone jug in an emergency. A pair of easy old shoes
are the correct things to wear in a boat, and a fore-and-aft
steamer cap is quite as essential to carry as a broadbrim
straw. Keep your boat clear of hamper and Uy your line
Bristol fashion when you haul it in, so that it will not kink
when you pay it out. Never spit in the boat; spit overboard.

Iowa has just passed a new fish law, of which the follow-
ing is a synopsis:

It is unlawful to take any fiBh from fhe waters of this
State at any time except with hook and line, with one excep-
tion. Suckers and buffalo can be Bpeared beiween the 1st
day of November and tbe 1st day of March following.

Catching trout is prohibited between the 1st of November
and the 1st day of April following, and ba-B fiom November
1st to May 15th following. Minnows may be taken for bait
with a net, provided all young bass, pike, croppies, trout and
salmon are at once returned to the waters from whence
taken .

Shooting fish or using medicated bait, or using any other
means to stupefy the fish, is absolutely prohibited.

All obstruction of rivers to prevent the free passage of the
fish up or down is prohibited, even to the placing of a trot
line.

Fishing in streams that have been ptocked with trout with-
in one year prior thereto, is prohibited, provided notice of
such stocking is posted, by authority of the State Fish Com-
missioner, wherever a public highway crosses such Bt reams.

The person filing information where the law is violated is
entitled to a fee of from $5 to $10, which shall be taxed as a
part of tbe costs.

A person convicted of violation of this law shall be fined
not less than $10, nor more than $100, and stand committed
to jail until tbe fine is paid.

This law does not apply to the Mississippi or Missouri
rivers.

Under the old law, the trout season was Febrnary 1st to
November 1st, and for bass Jane 1st to April 1st.

A new Bounding machine is about to make its appearauoe
which has for its object not only the taking of a single sound-
ing, but in thiok weather and in uncertain positions tbe
sinker can be let to a safety limit, according to locality, and
thus become a continuous sounder, so that the vessel cannot
gel into a shoal water without a warning being instantly
given, says a contemporary. The sinker is practically a kite
inverted; it is made of wood loaded with metal, aod is so
constructed that variations of speed do not nffect the vertical
depths at which it tows. While the vessel is going at any
rate of speed this sinker can be let down to a known depth,
and will tow at thai depth until tbe bottom shallows to Bnch
limit of safety, when the pinker, upon striking the bottom,
frees itself and rises to the surface, simultaneously giving a

THE FARM.

Hardiness.

The majority of those who write on poultry for agricultural
papers recommend the large breeds to farmers. In one
sense they are right, because the large breeds are more ro-
bust and can stand the rough usage of the barn-yard much
better than small birds. Again, it is claimed in their favor
that they weigh much heavier, and that one breed can be
kept and bred to uniformity, while with the small breed it
necessitates other hens to do the hatching. These advanta-
ges are worth thoughtful consideration; and yet there are
many cases where a small breed, such as Leghorns, would
pay more.

Heretofore the Dorking, Leghorn and Houdan have borne
the reputation of beiogtoo delicate for farm life, in compari-
son with Asiatic and American classes. Recently Dorking
breeders aBBert that this fowl will compare favorably with
any foreign breed, and the Leghorns, as all know, have been
tested on farms and village lots in cold and warm climates,
and their hardiness and vigor established beyond doubt;
and nothing in the line of delicacy can be brought against
them exoept that their combs and wattles will readily freeze
if exposed to cold weather and out-of door foraging in winter,
which is usually the case on farmB.

The large combs and appendages ot the Mediterranean
breedB are not adapted to our frigid climate if exposed to
winter's frost. Neither are the combs of Cochins, LangBhans,
Javas or Plymouth Rocks. The much-vaunted hardiness
claimed for the common fowls is all fndge. They were forced
through neglect and indifference to stand all Btorms and ex-
posure. The dung-hill served theni for a standing and
scratching place in the midst of winter, and the fence, plow
handle, wagon box, or old cheery tree over tha woodpile for
a roosting place. What was the result? Their combBand
wattlers fell off with mild weather, their toea were frozen,
and the sufferings which they endured put them back so that
they did not begin to lay before Easter, and many families in
autumn packed e^gs for that special occasion, as they were
not accustomed to get eggs before graBs and vegetation had
fairly started. We remember those days well and the sorrow-
ful looking pictures of those dunghills. We kept common
fowls many years and know all about their hardiness; we
know that fro3t will not exempt the common fowl any more
than the improved fowl. Bat raise. that breed from chicken-
hood to all kinds of weather and exposure, and it will be
as hardy as any dunghill in a few generations.

At Toronto, where the writer was raised, the boys made
fnn of the colored fowh which had ju6t arrived from the
South. When their first winter in Canada began, they
coald not bear the cold at Srst, but after some years tbey ap-
peared to enjoy the winter as well as the native. It is the
same with our thoroughbred fowls; they are accustomed to
comfortable quarters and good care, and If they are exposed
on the farm to frost and snow they will show greater delicacy
in the beginning than do tbe common fowls, and this has
given rise to the belief among some farmers that the improv-
ed breeds are not so hardv and robust as the old fashioned
common fowls. — Joseph Wallace, in Stockman and Farmer.

Berkshire Pigs the Best in the World.

How many times I have "heard visitors at my farm re-
mark, when looking over the swine, "I don't like those nasty
black pigs," and at the exhibition shows the same remark is
often heard. Probably these people forget for the moment
that color is only skin deep, or rather in this case, it is only
a light coat of bristles deep. They undoubtedly never had
any experience in keeping Berkshires, for if they had, such
thoughts would lose themselves, in the many attractive qual-
ities they would discover in this breed of swine.

In the first place, the Berkshire is one of the oldest breeds
iu existence. Having been bred so many years, every char,
acteristic feature about them has become thoroughly estab-
lished, and any one who is breeding the pure stock is as sure
of every point showing itself in every litter that is farrowed,
as he is that he exists. The BeikBhires breed true every
time, and a spot or "off" pig is as rare as green peas at
Christmas. One of their strongest features is a disposition
to grow from tbe start, and to take on flesh and fat. An-
other very important point in any breed of animals is pos-
sessed to a marked degree by the BarkBhires, and that is a
decided power or constitution to resist diseases of all kinds
When properly fed and cared for, they are seldom if ever
aick, or off their feed, and while breeders of other varieties
around me are in constant trouble with a sick sow, or weak
or ailing litter of pigs, my herd of Berkshires go right along
in perfeot health, producing big, strong, vigorous litters of
pigs, all of which grow and thrive.

The pure bred Berkshires make the best mothers, are very
gentle with their young, and have an abundance of milk,
wbioh continues to flow for a long period when desired.
Having been bred in all climates for so many years, they
withstand the heat of summers and cold of our long winters,
and are but little affected by either. From this fact fall lit-
ters from the Berkshires grow and thrive, while other breeds
become stunted and weak from the cold of approaching win-
ter. This feature alone places them far ahead of all other
breeds. This fact Bhould overcome any prejudice one has
against their color, for all breeders want aud expect two lit-
ters of pigs a year from their sows, one of which from neces-
sity muBt farrow in cold weather, and to have the latter grow
and thrive is absolutely essential to success. This the Berk-
shire will do.

Another thing that all careful breeders and farmers try to
do is to produce the largest and beBt animalB, the most meat.
for the least amount of money expended for feed, and right
here is where the Berkshire pig excels all other kindB in the
world. I have bred all of the leading kinds of swine, and
niade many careful experiments in feeding the same and not-
ing results, and my experience tenches me that whether I
am after fat, pork or meat in a herd of pigs or hogs, I can ob-
tain the same with a herd of Berkshires at three-quarters the
expense, or less, for feed, aDd half the expense for care and
trouble over any other breed of hoge, and I will not have to
fight disease or Biokness in prodncing the same, and I see no
more objection in the black color in nwine, than in any other
animal or fowl. Thatiswhy I like tbe Berkshire pig.— G. L.
Dow, in the Poultry.

Live Sheep Shipments.

From Hie Argentine Republic to Great Britain.

The fact that over 300 live sheep from Buenos Ayres have
been landed at Liverpool, and have been sold at double the
price of frozen mutton from the same quarter, is of great
importance both to the owners and the consumers of mutton
in this coantry; for in the course of the last year or two there
have been pretty clear indications that the supply of sheep in
this country is not equal to the demand, and that the import
of dead mutton could not make up the want of live sheep.
And the Argentine Confederation can give ue practically
unlimited supplies of sheep if they could be brought here
alive. It takes rank next to New Zealand in tho weight of
frozen mutton which it sends to us. In 1887 we imported
from the Argentine Confederation 251,273 cwts. of fresh
mutton, and in 1888, the last year for which we have complete
returns, we received 345,392 cwts. of matton. Now that a
few of the many millions of live sheep there have found their
way to us, and have sold well, we may be certain there are
more to follow. — Mark Lane Express (London).

The Suffolk Sheep.

The Suffolk sheep, as its name implies, had its origin in
Suffolk. The foundation of the breed was laid about one
hundred years ago by a cross between the original Norfolk
horned ewe and improved Southdown rams. The Norfolk
sheep (now extinct) were noted for their activity, longevity,
prolific breeding and success as nurses; the Southdown for
its good type and early maturity. The amalgamation of the
form and fattening properties of the Southdown with the
hardy, prolific and highly-bred Norfolk resulted in the pro-
duction of a valuable type of animal, combining the best
qualities of its progenitors and now recognized as the Suffolk
sheep. The breed has been cultivated with great care. Some
of the existing flocks date back to 1810. The Suffolk Sheep
Society was established in the spring of 1836 for the promo-
tion of the purity of the breed; at the present date about
ninety registered flocks are established in Suffolk, Norfolk,
Essex, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. Flock prizes are
competed for yearly for the best and most uniform flocks of
ewts, rams and ewe lambs, the property of one owner.

The Suffolk sheep may be described as about thirty per
cent, larger than the Southdown, with black, glossy fa^e,
hornless, and clean black legs, long back, with well developed
legB and loins; wool of fine texture, thick and of moderate
length. In the report of the judges of wool exhibited at
Windsor, 18S9. R. " A, S. Journal, Vol. 25, page 2, it
states: "Class 18, Suffolk. It is a pity there were not more
entries in this clasB, which is likely to lake an important
place in the wool trade of the future. The breed is noted
for its fecundity; thirty to thirty-five lambs for every twenty
ewes being a frequent average. The ewes are excellent
nurses, and live longer than other breeds. Ewes frequently
remain in the breeding flock until they are ten and eleven
years of age. They are extremely hardy. Their comparative
freedom from foot-rot enables them to travel over large tracts
of heath land, where they have to roam for their food, but
they thrive equally in the enclosed and more productive
country where they are confined in hurdles. The'mutton is
of the finest quality and commands a ready sale. It is of
high value, consequent on its venison like flavor and the
small percentage of fat, compared with some of the other
heavy breeds. They mature early, if well grazed and fed,
and are tit for the butoher at ten or twelve months old. In
competition with other breeds they have on several occasions
been awarded by the first prize at the meeting of the Royal
Agricultural Society. In the Keport on the Exhibition of
Live Stock, at Newcastle (R. A. S. Journal, "Vol. 23, page
12), Mr. J. Maodonald states: ''The Suffolk breed makeB
an important addition to the recogn'zed English breeds of
sheep. They possess properties which are sure to gaiu a
good name." Suffolk ewes and rams have been exported to
Austria, France, Germany, Russia, North and South Amer-
ica, and the English Colonies' — Cor. Am. Agriculturalist.

The Shorthorn Sales of 1889.

A Small Flock of Southdowns.

It is a good idea, that should be fostered, to have sheep on
every farm, even though the number must from necessity
be limited. A few animals of the best breed will be found
valu ible and profitable, and no breed can be more highly re-
commended for this purpose than the celebrated South-
downs. American breeders, as a rule, do not go to England
for their system of keeping their flockB, and so we find a sys-
tem of breeding and feeding that is peculiarly American.
From the nature of our country and business methodB, es-
pecial interest is laid upon early maturity, while in England
the breeding and feeding are conducted with a view to pro-
ducing the heaviest and ripest carcass possible. The ques-
tion of two or three years extra feeding is an important one
here, and it may rob the farmer of all bis profits. The best
success has been obtained when the sbeep have been reared
with the idea in view of producing first .class mutton at two
years old or less.

In a general way, it is more expensive to keep a small flook
than a large one, other things being equal. Better care, as a
rule, is given to the small flockB, because the farmer can look
after eaoh individual sheep; but the profits per head are
likewise proportionately different. The number that did or
do not properly develop, owing to crowding and other causes,
in a large flock is not always included In the profits and loss
of a large sheep ranch. The whole flock could have been re-
duced to the number of those which died or failed to improve
any during tbe year, and the profits wonld have been ob
large. Tbe food and care giveu to the unprofitable bones
were sheer Iops. As the flocks are reduced in size the num-
ber of poor sheep is also reduced, until the lowest minimum
possible is reaohed. This is reached on the small farm,
where only a limited number of sheep are kept. Few, if any,
ueed die here from cold, laok of food or shelter, nnd none
need fail to inorease in weight and quality through lack of
attention. Tbe Southdowns show very markedly the effects
of good or bad treatment, and for this reason also they are
especially good for small (aims, where each individual mem-
ber of tbe flock can be looked after to a reasonable extent.—
J. D. Morrow, in American Cultivator.

With the sale of the famous Glanatore herd, the sales of
Shorthorns for the year were brought to a close, and we,
therefore, give a table showing the details of the various
public auctions at which the red, white and roan have been
offered. On the whole, the year has been a fairly good one,
where really well-bred stock has been offered, though lor
ordinary animals, prices have ruled — as for so many years
past — low. As compared with previous years, the average*
price for the year is as follows:

Year. Average paid.

£ s. d.

1885 37 10 0

1S86 30 9 1

1887 21 12 6

1888 27 15 8

188y 32 19 3

During the present decade, values have been lower than
before 1880, and it is worthy of note that, for the twelve
years preceding 1S79, the average at the whole of the saleB
was no less than $54 7s. 7£3. It is exceedingly satisfactory
to note that, although valo.es have not reached this average,
they are better this year than in any since 1885.

So far as numbers are concerned, it will be seen that at
forty-three sales, 2,323 head have been sold for a tolal of
£76,570 14s. 6d. Last year 1,596 head were sold for a total
of £44,013 13d. 63. at thirty-nine sales, and in 1887 there
were thirty seven sales, of which 1,353 head were disposed
of. It will thus be seen that there is a great increase iu the
numbers sold, us well as a very satisfactory rise in the aver-
age price. — Mark Lane Express.

Angora Goats.

Will Tbey Prove More Profitable Than Sbeep?

Statements have been received from all the leading Ameri-
can manufacturers of mohair good6. From these it seems
clear that the use of mohair is increasing rapidly; in fact, the
demand for mohair- dress goods was never better than at
present. All the manufacturers seem to agree that the
American-grown fleeces are, as a rule, inferior to those
brought from Asia Minor or Africa. Whether the Angora
goat can reach its highest perfection in our climate is as yet
an unsolved problem. Of coorse, these manufacturers know
nothing about breeding the goats; they merely know what
they want in their manufacturing. It would seem, then,
that a farmer may safely depend up3n selliog all the mohair
he caD produce at a price somewhat above Ihat obtained for
wool. It iB by no meanB certain that the best quality of
mohair can be grown here. The grades that can be grown
here are, however, worth as much as the best wool, and in
regions where sheep-killing dogs abound, the goats will un-
doubtedly prove most valuable. — Rural New Yorker.

Food for Hens-

Keeping food before the hens all the time iB both wasteful
and unprofitable. It is wasteful for the reason that as long
as the hens have a plentiful supply before them all the time
they will give themselves but little trouble to look for food
elsewhere, which is detrimental in not inducing to exercise.
It is extravagant, because the hens will Dot only eat more
than they require for healthy digestion, bnt will scratch and
waste a large portion. These objections are small matters,
however, compared with the iDJury occasioned by over feed-
ing, which causes henB to become excessively fat, when they
will lay bnt few eggs, some of which will have no shells,
whilo others will be doable-yolked. Instead of keeping food
before them constantly, the hens should only be fed when
they are hungry, and even then they should be made to hunt
and search for what they receive. We do not recommend
stinting them of their food, but it should never be placed
where they oan eat their till and mope around. Active exer-
cise conduces to prolificacy. The beBt layers are those that
are constanMy doing something. The hen that takes mat-
ters easy and seldom Btirs about will be an excellent subject
for the tab'e, but her productive organs will be too much
clogged with fat to allow her to lay her quota of eggs. — N. E.

Moore's Advice to Beginners.

The following "Suggestions to Purchasers" from the cata-
logue of Mr. M. E. Moore, Cameron, Mo., are reproduced as
being well worthy of study. As an illustration of mullum
in parvo it is excellent:

It iB my ambition to breed, to import, and to sell superior
cattle only. A disappointment to any one of my patrons
would be a greater disappointment to me. I therefore make
the following suggestions in referenoe to selection and man-
agement:

1st. Every man who desires to purchase cuttle of this
bieed Bhould post himself upon their history and character-
istics.

2nd. Study some standard work upon the principles of
selection oi milch cows without reference to any particular
breed.

3rd. In selecting a herd endeavor to secure general uni-
formity in size, build, and oolor. Such uniformity is very
pleasing to the eye, beside j it gives special oharaoter to the
herd.

4th. As regards color, the evenly varigated and tbe black
predominating are generally preferred In Europe the light-
er colors are thought to be less hardy.

5th. Avoid animals with heads unsymiuetrical in form
("mullet heads") or with coarse Roman noses. Such are gen-
erally of questionable breeding.

6th. Avoid animals with harsh hair and uuinellow skins;
such qualities indicate a lack of Thrift.

7th. Avoid animals with extremely sloping rumps. There
are many objections to this form besides tbe laok of symme-
try.

Sth. In breeding do uot couple animals together that
largely show a similar deficiency in form of character. Those
that do not show such deficiency may be inbred for a few
generations to establish tbe especial character of the herd,
but always with much watchfulness of results.

9th. Keep breeding animals in good condition. Avoid ex-
tremes of leauess or rleshinesB, as both these cooditioDS tend
to produce degeneracy in the offspring.

10'h. Train young cows to large yields and long periods
of milkioc. In order to get the best results in growth, in
milk production, and in the developement of offspring, heif-
ers that drop their first calves at two years of aee should
not be required to bear a second calf in less than 18 months
from the rirs.t. — Holstein Friesian Register.

half mile tracks, all of them owned on private plaoes.

The New York Jockey Club are about to honor E. J. Bald-
win by calling one of their fixed events the Santa Anita
Slake . _____

A telegram of Raucho Del Paso notifies me that the great
sale of yearlings will take place in New York on June 16th
and not on June 30th as heretofore advertised.

What a Bhaking up of old bones there will be when the
■circuit opens, for there are so many sure things bottled up
for use that a general explosion is likely to occur.

From all who visit J. H. White's place at Lakesville, comeB
the same story, *'Sih has the best lookers in the State."
The story is true, and Mr. White should have a lot of trotters
this year.

Do not forget to make entries in the stakes of the Contra
■Costa County Agricultural Association if you have anything
that is good for the purses offered. The entries close on
June 1st.

Oaknut, the Dawn stallion owned by Mr. Overhflser,
trotted a mile during the past week on the Fetaluma Track,
in 2:28i, which should warrant the belief that 2:20 will be
about his mark before the season ends.

In the list of declarations to the Great Eclipse Stake, New
, York Jockey Club, on May 1st, the name of Sextus was un-
intentionally omitted. This leaves one hundred and eleven
eligible, instead of one hundred and twelve, as stated.

The San Jose Associatian are offering very liberal purses
to the horsemen of the State, and those who intend to corn-
pets for the large money prizes should not forget the Garden
City in making up their circuit. Entries close June 1st.

On Tuesday, Jane 3rd, Terre Haute will have a great field
day, and many of the noted trotters and pacers now congre-
gated there, wili be exhibited. Sunol 2:UH, Axtell 2:12, and
Palo Alto 2:12J are among those advertised to be Bhown.

i From present indications J. H. Shults Esq. will have a

It does not seem so very long ago that people were im-
pressed with the idea that Director was not a sure foal getter.
Last year he got 72 per cent, of his mares with foal, and this
year, from the reports already received at Pl6asanton, even a
larger percentage can be shown.

The old timer Tom Smith of Vallejo has secured a fine lot
of mares this year for his stallions, George Washington 11,-
623 and Mambrino Chief Jr., 11,622, and Tom is about to
get the fiist named ready for track work as his present mark
of 2:30 is no measure of his Bpeed.

Wilfred Page reports that Tom Murphy has "caught on"
atPetaluma, and already has a fair sized stabla under his
care, Tom was so long with O. A. Hickok that he Bhould
be up to all the tricks of the trade, and will undoubtedly give
satisfaction to those who employ him.

Mr. S. S. Howland's horse Ontario, which raised a sensa-
tion last year by his wonderful jumping, has surpassed his
former efforts by clearing seven feet. This is far in advance
of any other authenticated jump, although there is a tradition
that seven feet bix inches has been cleared in Ireland.

Mr. T. B. Cooper of Adin, Modoc County, advertises that
he wishes to sell the sire of Almont Patchen 2:15. In a note
accompanying the "ad." Mr. Cooper says that he is willing
to dispose of the stallion at an extremely liberal figure, so this
is a rare opportunity for some one to secure a first class horse
at a low price.

"Good goods" always find a ready market, as Mr. Benton
found out when he sent his pacer by Mambrino Wilkes, dam

: by Chieftain, to Oakland week before last, for the horse was
no sooner given his preliminary exercise than Mr.W. Coleman
asked for a price on him, and a few days ago the fast pacer

1 chaDged ownership, the consideration being $1000.

Mr. M. T. Grattan writes me that Jessie, by Bates Em-
peror, was foaled in 1860, and is therefore thirty years old.
She was bred to Herod April 26, 1SS9, and at no other time
duiing the year. No other stallion bad access to her. On
the third day of May, 1S90. she gave biith to a black pacing
colt, the image of its sire, a BtroBg, active, healthy colt.

Mr. A. Hecox, formerly of Gilroy, has taken charge of Capt.

sition of so good an artist, and Mr. Hecox may be proud of
his charge, as among the youngsters he has the promising
two-year old filly by Dawn — Lena Bowles, and Acorn, the
half brother of the lamented Lorena.

Mr. George Thtuerkanf, of Gorjzalez, has placed in the
hands of Peter Woods for training, the i hestnut gelding Lee,
five years old by General Lee, dam by General Taylor. Lee
bas a record of 2:3U made at the Salinas Fair laBt fall, he
winning the fourth, fifth and sixth heats in the 2:35 class.
Mr. Theuerkauf's trotter is a good one and the chances are
favorable that he will make a low mark in the 2;30 class this
rear.

Some exceedingly bright young pirate connected with one
)f the Press Associations has seen fit to telegraph all over the
United States, a list of the horses that Captain Tom Merry
Purchased in Australia. It is needless to say that he did not
live the Breeder and Sportsman credit, notwithstanding
bis was the only paper to receive the news, from our regular
Australian correspondent.

Senator George Hearst bas at last purohased the Valen-
, ine Ranch at Pleasanton, the land was deeded to the new
iwner by Charles C. Mclver, who acquired the property from
#. D. and Mary Valentine. The Senator being in the East,
t is impossible to find ont to what use the farm will be pot,
•at it is presumable, that it will be fitted up as a first class
itock farm. With the many fine brood mares now owned by
Senator Hearst, the Valentine place should prove a first class
•Btablishment, for the raising of thoroughbreds and trotters.

Last week, B. C. Holly, of Vallejo, paid a flying visit to
Santa Rosa and took a laok at the good stock in that neigh*
borhood. While there he purchased from Mr. Frazier, of
that city, a yesrliDg bay filly by Anteeo 7868, dam by Whip-
pleton 1883, 2nd dam by Sam Purdy 918, third dam by Rifle-
man, fourth dam Lady Crnrn, the dam of Alexander 4t0.
I have not heard the price that was given for this young

large colt by her side by Noonday, to Mrs. Silas Skinner, of
Jordan Valley, Oregon; price $2,500. Madonna is the dam
of Alcona Jr , 2;41. sire of Silas Skinner, trial 2:23*. She is
also the dam of Del Rey, 2:31, and others. Madonna is one
of the coming broodmares, and is a serious loss to California

Tho directors of the Napa track have seoured the services
of John True, and he will in future have sole management
of their track. Already the new superintendent has set to
work, and the noted course is daily the scenes of fast brashes,
as the different trainers send their charges down the home
stretch. There is some talk of having the grand stand
moved back about forty feet, which will be of great conven-
ience to the spectators, for as at present situated it is too
close to the stretch. Many other improvements will be
made.

Margaret S. 2:19}, was never in better fettle than she is

Andy McDowell has received a telegram; so 1 am informed,
that he will have to get the mare ready for a trip across the
mountains, as she is entered in the Horseman's Stake, for
foals of 1S86, and the race has been set for July 12th to take
place at Detroit. Mr. Salisbury is at present in the East,
but on his return arrangements will be made to send the
game daughter of Director back East. That she may be suc-
cessful in her next effort, with the noted trotters of the East,
is the heart felt wish of every Californian,

At the last meeting of the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural
District Association, held at Stockton, a dispute arose over
the right of John A. Goldsmith to return to the wire, after
the word was given to Btart, in a walk over with Regal Wilkes
for the two-year-old trotting stake. At the late meeting of
the Board of Review the following question waa submitted,

"Copy of Minutes:

Stockton, Cal., Sept. 24, 1S89.

Upon call of the Judges of the races of the day, the
Board met at 8 p. m. at the Pavillion office, Directors Sar-
gent and Shepherd absent.

The Jndges submitted the following statement:

Mr. John A. Goldsmith started for a walk-over in the two
(2) year old Pacific Trottirg Stake of Stockton Fair, of this
year, with "Regal Wilkes."

Having been tapped off and receiving the signal "go",
Goldsmith drove hiB colt half around the first turn. "Regal
Wilkes" made a serious break and Goldsmith returned for
another start, claiming the right to Btart as many times as
he saw fit. That afternoon, before Goldsmith reached the
wire on his return, the Judges notified him he would not be
permitted to start twice for a walkover. Goldsmith did re-
turn, cross the wire and demanded another start. The
Judges refused to start him the second time, as the N. T. A.
Rules give no rule concerning such cuBes. The Judges,
with Goldsmith will ask the Board of Appeals to establish
rales concerning such case.

THE HAPPY FRENCHMAN.

A well known horseman in writing to me about old pedi-
grees says, "I have kept a pedigree book for the last forty
years and at various times I have written down my personal
opinion of the animal when writing down the pedigree. In
looking up one of my old books, I find the following, written
many years ago: Abdallah, a bad headed, ugly dispoBitioned
brute, of ungainly shape and a stain in any pedigree. Of
late years my opinion of Abdallah has bo changed that I at-
tribute the well known and invariable gameness of the many
decendents of John Nelson, as much to the Abdallah as to
the Trustee Cross."

From a gentleman who has been visiting Palo Alto daring
the past week I learn that the reported indisposition of Elec-
tioneer resulted from an injury that he received, when dis-
mounting after service. He was Btrained across the back,
and the result was chronicled to the world as a "Eerious ill-
ness" by the gossip mongers. The old horse is once more
able to move about bat be will not be stinted to any more
mares this season, he having already covered twenty five.
Nest week I will endeavor to give my readers a word picture
of this noted stallion, which has added bo much to the fame
of Palo Alto, and done so much for the good name of Cali-
fornia.

On Monday, April 18th, Mr. C. F. D. Hastings sustained
a severe loss in the death of the brood mare Juno by Pat
Malloy (son of Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31) dam by Ethel Allen.
Juno was a fast and game mare, and her endurance was un-
limited. These same characteristics she imparted to her
progeny, the beBt known of which is Como 2:2G| by Elmo.
He was a good game trotter, being always able to win when-
ever heats were split. He was the first of Juno's foals, the
second being Ethel H.by Sultan 2:24, She was never trained
and is now used as a brood mure. The third foal was by
Anteeo 2:16^, but he died from the result of an accident. Her
fourth foal is now 2 years old, by Fallis 2:23, while the foal of
1S39 is a chestnut filly by Woodnut 2:16A. Juno died giving
birth to a bay colt by Noonday, and the little fellow will be
brought up by hand.

In speaking of the Wallace defalcation, the New York
Times says: Leslie E. McLeod, formerly assooiate editor of
Wallace's Monthly, who was arrested Sunday night on a
charge of grand larency in connection with the robberv of
certain bonds valued at $35,000, the property of Mr. John
Wallace, was yesterday honorably discharged by Justice Mc-
Mahon at the Tombs Police Coui-t. There was no evidence
to show that Mr. McLeod had in any way been connected
with Robert C. Wallace in his thefts from Mr. Wallace,
amounting to some §50,000.

Assistant District Attorney Lindsay telegraphed the State
Department yesterday, requesting that measures be taken for
the arrest and extradition of young Wallace and Bookmaker
Louitz, who sailed for Havana last week Wednesday on the
steamer Saratogo.

The sale of the Auburndale Racing Stable, owned by Mr.
J. F. Donnell, took place in the saddling paddocks at the
Linden trtck on the 10th. The pick of the lot, King Hszem,
was knocked down to Mr. L. L. Lloyd for So 600, Mr. Lloyd
also purchased the three-year-old tillyUnadaga by Onondaga —
Una, and that good little colt Jay F. Dee, for the sum of
$575 and $1,600, respectively. William Easton, the auction-
eer, after eome spirited bidding, secured the gelding Kosci-
usko Kay for $4,800. P. Brady bought the two-year-old filly
Enola for $1,000, and G. Walbaum bought the two-year-old
chestnut colt by Jils Johnson— Sue Finnie for the same
amount, and a bay colt by imported Tympanum ont of Creda,
by Harry Bassett, for S3.S00. The rest brought small prices,
J, L.Lubin getting Dnke John for $825; E. W. Phillips a two-
year-old by Ten Broeck — Belle of Nantura, by Longfellow,
for $325; J. R. Dean a three-year-old colt by Dalnacardoch—
Blue Lodge for $200, and A. Lakeland buying Saracen for
S130.

The county of Sonoma and particularly that portion of it
lying between Petalama and Santa Rosa is so strongly im-
bued with trotting horse lore that it even occasionally breaks
out among the young ladies attending the district schools in
that section. A few days ago duriug the examination in
English history, the schoolteacher (who is not very well up
in 'records') asked one of the young ladies to name the
leader io the great conspiracy that attempted to blow up the
houses of Parliament; like a flash came the reply "Gny
WilkeB." A titter from her equally well 'posted' classmates
called the replicant's attention to her slip of the tongae and
she promptly added, "I should have Baid Guy FawkeB."
"And who, I should like to know was Guy Wilkes? asked
the teacher. Chorus from the class; "Why! Guy Wilkes
2:15J, of course!" There are rumorB that the horsemen in
the neighborhood have contributed Wallace's Year Book to
the school library for the teachers benefit.

Wells, Fargo's Bank Paid Him a Biff Stack of

Twenties.

A Laundrj limn Suddenly Enriched— He Will Invest a
Part oi His Money in Real Estate.

Dame Fortune never smiled on a more worthy subject than
M. Anathase Robert, an old resident of this oity, whose
parents were born in La Belle, France, and were adherants
to the house of Bourbon. M. Roberts awoke a few mornings
ago to find himself a wealthy man, for while he was goirg
about his business on the day before, an intervenor of the
Mexican Government was inspecting the semi-annual extra-
ordinary drawing of the "Loteria de la Beneficencia Pablica"
of the City of Mexico, and as a result of that drawing, M.
Roberts secured a fortune of $15,000, he holding ticket No.
54700, entitling him to one-eighth of the grand capital prize of
$120,000.

The lucky Oaklander had no trouble at all in securing his
easily gotten fortune, for presentation of the ticket at the
counter of Wells, Fargo & Co's Bank in San Francisco had
the same effect as all gilt edged securities, and 750 shiniDg
twenty dollar gold pieces were stacked up before the foitu
nate holder of the ticket as soon as a telegram was received
announcing the number of the ticket. In the coolest man-
ner possible M. Robert deliberately shoved the shining pile of
gold back at the cashier, after satisfying himself as to the
amount, and took a certificate of deposit on that bank. He
came back to work in Oakland with a light heart, and the
pleaBant expression on his face told better than words that
something unuBUal had occurred. This morning a Tribune
man called on M. Roberts at his residence, 1579 New Broad-
way, where everything was in disorder outside. The grade
of the street ia being raised, and as a consequencs it is not in
the best condition. Within everything was bright and cheery,
a busy little woman was singing merrily at her work, and M.
Robert greeted the reporter with a hearty shake of the hand.
He was dressed in a manner fitting to his sudden rise in
life, and takes his good fortune very gracefully.

He was not disposed to say much about his lucky invest-
ment. M. Robert is in the prime of life, and is a single man,
and up to the "present he has been employed as a laundry*
man in the French laundry of P. Calon, at Twenty-ninth
street and San Pablo avenue. He has often invested in lot-
tery tickets before, buying a number in several companies
each month. He bas often been warned against the Mexioan
lottery, but explained that he had resided in the city of
Mexico, and knew that the "Loteria de la Benificencia Pub-
lioa" was the best of all, and bo it proved to be for him.

His parents came from sunny France before he was born,
and located in the City of Mexico, where he grew into man-
hood, and had an opportunity to see for himself how the lot-
tery was conducted. He explained that it is under the direct
supervision of the Federal Government of Mexico, through
an officer duly appointed for that purpose. His relation to
the company is somewhat like that of the Comptroller of the
United States Treasury to the National banks of this country.

"There are too many dead tickets in these other lotteries,"
explained M. Robert, "while in the Mexican lottery there are
only 80,000 all told and the same number of piizeB us any
other concern, so you can see the more chances one has of
winning."

Several years ago M. Robert came to California with his
sister and located in Oakland, where he has been working
hard to lay up a little money to carry him through hia de-
clining days, but now he has enough to keep him and his
sister in regal style without the necessity of hard work.

"I suppose you will marry?" asked the reporter.

"Oh, no, I won't," replied M. Robert, with a broad smile.
"I have been an old bach too long now to give it up. I shall
move from this house shortly, and will invest some of my
money in good real estate, bo that it will bring me in some-
thing. I have no idea of going into business nt present. The
laundry business is overdone, and a person must select an
opening in which he will not have too much competition. I
think I shall buy Eome property, and that will Le all. The
money could not come to a more worthy person than I, and
I am always glad to hear of atjy hard working man making a
fortune. It is the only chance most of them have, and they
should take advantage of it. I may pay a visit to Mexico
shortly, to eee the Bcenes of my ohildhood, and I may go to
France, but thet-e things are merely suggestions now," and
the man of sudden wealth retired from the room.

Horses racing in Italy bas taken a firm hold upon the
popular imagination. At Milan, which holds two meetings
each year, a handicap, with £2,000 added, will be rnn for at
the end of May, while meetings have already been held this
year at Pisa, Palermo and Naples, to be followed by Flor-
ence, Lazeo, Milan, Turin, Alessandria. All together, there
will be more than twenty meetings of one kind and another,
and the value of the stakes to be ran for, entries included,
will fall little, if anything, short of £30.000. This may seem
small by comparison with what is to be won in England, but
represents an increase of at least one hundred per cent, upon
the figures of 1887, and it is this constant increase which
shows what strides racing is making in that country.

The Oakland and Fresno Entries.

It must he a source of extreme satisfaction to the Di-
rectors of the Oakland and Fresno Associations to see
how generously the horsemen of California have sub-
scribed to the stakes and purses advertised by them.
There has been a feeling of annoyance expressed Dy
many horsemen in the State who have been under the
belief that with the withdrawal of the Hickok and Palo
Alto stables that there would not be enough of horses in
training to fill the many purses which have been and
will be offered; however, that feeling can now be dis-
pelled as the large number of entries made are guaranty
enough that not only a large number of horses will come
to the wire but that the sport will be of an exciting
nature. It is true that the slower classed purses have filled
the best, but from an intimate knowledge of many of
the horses at present in training, we can confidently as-
sert that there are many surprises in store foi those who
may patronize the various fairs during the coming sum-
mer and fall. From all sections of the State favorable
reports have been received, and there are any quantity
of green horses even at this early date which are compe-
tent to enter the 2:30 list, while not a few have already
been mentioned that are fit to trot with ordinary 2:20
performers. As the season advances undoubtedly many
of the horses will improve and those that are at present
a trifle slow will show up well enough to warrant their
owners in making a bid for part of the purses. Never
has a season opened more auspiciously and notwi'b-
standing the absence of many of the most noted horses,
the season of 1890 will, beyond doubt, prove as memora-
ble in the horse history of California as any year that
has ever preceded it. The Directors of both of these
Associations are to be congratulated. Fresno, while
situated many miles from the Bay City, has always re-
ceived a laTge attendance from here, and it is more than
probable that when the bell rings for the first race on
September 30th, there will be more strangers in the
Raisin City than ever before. Oakland always has a
liberal attendance, their fairs receiving a generous sup-
port from both sides of the Bay, and with the advanced
steps they have taken this year to start a Futurity
Stake, it should tend to advertise them more than ever
and consequently show an increased amount of profit at
at the end of the season. From all sections of the State
horsemen have entered their suckling foals for the purse
which is to be trotted in 1893, and lucky indeed will ba
the man who has a colt that can win both the Oakland
Futurity Stake as well as the Breeder and Sportsman

Something" to Ponder Over.

A few days ago a number of prominent horsemen con-
gregated in the office of the Breeder And Sportsman,
when the conversation turned as to the speed that might
be expected from the foal of Manzanita 2:16 and Stam-
boul 2:124; the handsome little filly by Stamboul, dam
Trinket 2:14 was also a subject of discussion, and it
seemed to be the concensus of opinion that two very fast
horses might be looked for, from these two mares. The
large stallion service fee asked by the owners of Axtell
and also the enormous prices asked for service by own-
ers of all stallions which have a very low mark, took up
considerable of the conversation. There was hardly one
present but what was willing to acknowledge that the
best results could be obtained by breeding to horses who
have low records, but Mr. Wm. Ashby, former owner of
Chitwood, upset all this theory hj picking up the Year
Book and calling attention to the following horses who
have low records.

Westmont, pacer, 2:01}, Minnie R., pacer, 2:03 1-4,
You Bet, pacer, 2:05}, Johnston, pacer, 2:06£, Maud
S., 2:08}, Jay-Eye-See 2:10, Sunol 2:10£, Guy 2:10}, St.
Julien 2:11}, Little Brown Jug, pacer, 2:11}, Axtell
2:12, Fanny Witherspoon two-mile record 4:43. Hun-
tress three-mile record 7:21j and Satellite four-mile re-
cord 10.52J.

Among the fast trotters and pacers, the only one that
is left out, with a record below 2:12 is Goldleaf 2:114 by
Sidney, yet still of all the others mentioned there is not
a sire of any one of them that ever entered the 2:30 list.
Now it naturally occurs to the student to ponder over
these facts as it is evident that the great problem of
breeding speed is still a secret; while it is suspeotible of
belief that fast horses can be more readily produced by
and from fast horses, still the above figures would lead
to the belief that there is a great undeveloped secret in
the breeding business. Only a few days ago we saw at
the Bay District Track a gelding which will in all pro-
bability make a mark of 2:20 or better for himself this
year, and yet his sire is now running loose on an im-
mense grazing farm away up in Modoc County and his
dam has no pedigree whatever. While we would like
to believe that some of the very fast and elegantly bred
mares that have been served to Axtell might produce
the trotter of the future, still the records would almost

make us believe that it is too much to expect and that
the future record breaker will be Bired by a horse that
bas not the honor to be in the "charmed circle.*'

Billiards.

As was stated in the Breeder and sportsman in its
issue of last week, MessrB. - Schaefer & Ives arrived on
Saturday. Their advent was the cause of an increased
interest in matters billiardistic in the haunts that are
most frequented by the knights of the cue. As yet there
has been but little money wagered on the result of the-
forthcoming contest between Schaefer and McCleery, but
as the time draws near for the game to take place,
undoubtedly all friends of the two men will be eager to-
back their opinions. McCleery is practicing constant!?
in a room which has been specially fitted up for him in
the Baldwin Hotel; while Schaefer is taking exercise
with his companion in a room fitted up for him by Mr
Orndorff in the Flood Building. It is now many years
since a first-class contest has taken place in San Fran-
cisco, and beyond doubt the three nights' match which
occurs on May 29 th, 30 Lh and 31st, will cause an in-
creased revival in this gentleman's game.

Both of the principals have secured managers to repre-
sent their interests, and it need hardly be stated that
everything will be done that is possible for the comfort
of those who may go to Metropolitan Hall to witness the
game. Especial care Will be taken that nothing will be
said or done to offend the most fastidious, and gentlemen
who wish to take ladies are assured that they may do so
without running the risk of giving offense. Already in
this city are many ladies who have displayed great apt-
ness for the game, and in many of the larger private
residences, a room is devoted especially to this purpose
It is not so very long ago that it would have been con-
sidered unwomanly to acknowledge that a lady was
familiar with the game, but nowadays it is considered
one of the accomplishments, and there are many in San
Francisco who wield the cue in not only a graceful but
very expert manner. "We expect to find many of the
fair sex present at the opening of the game between the-
two great professors of this beautitul game.

Another Futurity Stake.

The Directors of the Sonoma and Mirin Agricultural
Society are nothing if not progressive, and not to be
overshadowed and outdone by otbers, they this week an-
nounce a "Futurity Stake for foals owned in their dis-
trict comprising Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Like, Mendocino,
Solana, Yolo, Colusa and Contra Costa Counties. The-
stake is for foals of 1890, and the race will be trotted at
their annual summer meeting in 1893: the conditions are
much the same as those advertised in the Breeder and
Sportsman Futurity Stake and in the Oakland Futur-
ity Stake. The payments are small and on the install-
ment plan which will enable those who are not well-to-
do in this world's goods to enter for what promises to be
a valuable stake. The entries will close on July 1st
with the Secretary, Dr. Thos. Maclay of Pdtaluma; the
advertisement will be found in another column.

Poems on the Horse.

We have received from the Wenborne-Sumner Co. of
Buffalo, New York, an elegant volume of poems relating
'o the turf, and other ballads written by Emmons S.
Pierce. The writer is well known to the turfmen of
America from his exquisite work in verse, and having
published them in a neat and handy form, they should,
and do deserve, a large sale.

The author's dedication is as follows.
To him who loves the noble steed

and gives him proper care and feed,
Admires his beauty, power and speed,

And is the horse's friend indeed,
Whose warm heart beams in word and look —
To him I dedicate this book.
The price of the work is only $2, and those who would
like to purchase can do so by sending to the publishers
as above.

Our Los Angeles Letter.

The impression is very general that the August meeting of
the Sixth District Agricultural Association will eclipse all
former meetings of the association. The directors are spar-
ing no expense in booming the meeting, and the Los Angeles
public can always be relied on to turn out in force when any-
thing good is offered for their patronage. The owners of colts
intend to enter in the trotting stakes, as they appreciate the
fact that the breeders in Southern California should stand
together in order to foster and develop the breeding industry,
and the best way to do this is by entering in these stake
races.

Many improvements are being made at the Agricultural
Park, and when the bell rings for the opening of the grand
circuit in 1890, Los Angeles will have a track second to none
in the State. By the way, at a meeting of the Dreetors of
the Association, held last Saturday night, it was decided to
hold a second meeting in October, when the agriculture and
horticulture diBplay will be made. Your readers will see
that everything in the way of running and trotting will have
a big inning In Los Angeles in 1890. It will not cost a for-
tune to get there, either with stock, as the railroad people
intend to make an unusaally liberal rate — possibly S100 a
car load.

I Btill hear favorable accounts from Santa Anita about the
Eoiperor of Norfolk. Manager Ui)ruh, in conversation with
the Breeder and Sportsman representative, expressed him-
self confidently in regard to the Emperor standing a cam-
paign. I sincerely hope that the Emperor will live up to the
expectations of the Santa Anita people, but I am afraid that
it will prove a repetition of the Sir Dixon case.

Last Saturday there was a trot at the Agricultural Park,
The time made was not as fast as expected, but Gale was
clearly not herself, and Buffered from a sore mouth.

Jimmy Mack was in town this week. Mack has a etririg
of promising trotters at Santa Paula. This thriving little
town is rapidly coming to the front as a trotting center. W.
L. Harbison the Ventura Oil King, has started a breeding
farm. He has a number of A. TV. Richmond mares who are
in foal to Alcazir, Gossiper, Bob MaBon and Black Pilot, The
latter is a most promising four-year-old Sultan stallion. His
dam is Highland Maid by Arthurton. He was purchased by
a syndicate from L. J. Rose about a year ago. Another stal*
lion that is much sought after by the owners of good mares
in that part of the coantry is the A. TV. Richmond stallion
out of Bridget by Kentucky Hunter.

There are several promising colts in training at the Santa
Paula track for the colt stake, to be trotted at the Los An-
geles meeting in August.

My colts eye has improved a little by the use of Kit. of Sil-
ver and distilled water, etc., bnt think that if yon can sug-
gest some other treatment it would inipruve more. The eye-
ball is a little blurred under the swollen and ittlamed mem-
brane.

Answer. — With reference to your communication Re your
colt's eye, I am afraid I cannot do much for it under the
circumstances. It would be almost impossible to prescribe
for such a case, without first seeing the patient. In the
meantime apply acetates ot lead tweDty grains, distilled water
one ounce. Keep the eye covered, and cool with the swab I
recommended before. Try for one week, and then commu-
nicate with the Breeder and Sportsman as to the result.

What is the best treatment for a two-year-old filly that has
soft swelling on inside of leg near bock. Looks very much
like a blood spavin, but am not certain that it is. There
seems to be considerable fever, but not much lameuesB. She
was hurt while in pasture.

Answer.— Judging by your deecription of the fcwellirjg
near hock, I do not consider it a blood spavin. In all
probability it is the result of a sumewhat Bevere sprain. As
there is considerable fever I would advise joa to foment
with hot water for several hours daily. Administer a .-mall
dose of cathartio medicine, eay five drams aloss, aDd keep
the animal quiet. After the fever has subsided, paint the
enlargement with Tinct Iodine three times a week. If
this dosa not reduce the swelling apply Biniodide Mercury
two drams. Vaseline one oucca. When this is applied it will
be necessary to keep the colt tied up for a few days. The
tail must be tied up, otherwise, the blister will get all over
the abdomen. If no good result follows, write again to
Breeder and Sportsman.

This gentleman asked last week for the breeding of Tin-
ner, and Mr. Buland. of Woodland, has kindly forwarded it.

was by John Nelson 187; dam Ogborn mare by Old St. Clair;
2nd dam a mare of Hambletonian stock, owned by one Mc-
Pherson, of Solano or Napa County. Mr Kuland bIbo says
that Tinner left a great many colts in Yolo County, but be
was burned to death in a livery stable tire, at Knights Lan-
ding, jaBt aa his value was beginning to be appreciated.

I entered my horse in a race of orje-half mile heats 2 in 3,
My hors- won the first heat and lost the second. Now did
the third horse have a right to start in the third heat, or did
only the horses that won a heat each have a right to start?
I contend that the third horse was out of the race after the
second heat. If you will answer this in your p iper, I will be
greatly obliged.

Answer. — Only the two horses, which had a heat each to
their credit, should start in the third heat.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPHIPPOS,

"Bon Air," in the New York Spirit, says: I spent the day
at Melrose yesterday. J. A. Stevens, the trainer, tells me
that he expects to take Thor, EentoD, Esmond, Garnet, Ai-
mer, Glen Mary and Kenwood to St. Louis, Terre Haute and
Lexington. He lays "great store" by Kenwood, hi8 two year
old dependence. Garnet ia three, and he says Bhe can trot
better than 2;30. She ia by Pancoast. As for Kenwood,
Stevens says, "he is a sure trotter," The half-mile track
has been completed and is now being used. Thor is beiDg
Jogged every day. He is a graod looking horse and a grand
goer. What a turning out of the masses there would be if
he and Bow Bella could be brought together in a race! Thor
ia about an inch higher than Bow Bell*, though the former ia
only two years old. Two grander looking horses would be
hard to tind. In the show ring judges wonld have a difficult
(ask in awarding the blue ribbon.

In our columns will be found a full list of the entries for
the great championship meet which will be held on Friday
next, Decoration Day . The athletes are all in the pink of
condition and the beaten aspirants for championship honors
will have no excuse to offer except that the men who finished
in front of them were their superiors.

The wheelmen are getting ready for the century run. The
oarsmen are conimencing to train in earnest for the coming
regatta.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Under the above heading in our last issue appeared an ar-
ticle which referred to Mr. Horace Coffin of the Olympic
Club as having said that Gafney did not walk square.
Through an error on the part of the printer the Eense of the
article was entirely changed and a great injustice was done
Mr. Coffin, We hasten to make the correction and hope that
Mr. Coffin will, under the circumstances, excuse the mis-
take. The article should have read aB follows:

"Coffin is holding Jarvis well down in the mile walk and
a good many persons Beeni to think that Coffin will win that
event.

Jarvis seems to think that Coffin does not walk square at
all times duiing a race, and aR he also claims that Gafney
doeB not walk square, he shoald, it his opinion be correct,
have a soft thing in both the one and three mile walks."

About 75 persons were present at the Bay District track on
Sunday list to witness a match race of one hundred yards
between Frank Sheerin and Jack Egan. H. M. Johoson the
champion sprinter was appointed Btarter. After making
several false starts the men wore sent off even. The heat re-
sulted in a tie, both athletes touching the tape together.
Time 11 2-5 seconds.

The referee decided that the race should be run over
again. After resting half an hour the men again appeared at
the scratch, and after a couple of false starts were sent off.
The excitement was intense. Egan led for the first sixty
yards, when he was overhauled by Sheerin who rushed past
him and won easily in II seconds- The prize was valued at
$20.

The members of the Alameda Olympic Club will hold an-
other crosscountry run on Sunday June 1st. All athletes be-
longing to the associate clubs of the P. C. A. A. A. are invited
to attend.

It will be with surprise that amateur athletes and the
many friends of Mr. Joseph Barr Buchanan the admitted
Prince of Amateur Champions learn that he has positively re-
tired from all outBide athletic circles, and is now undergoing a
strict course of study for the "entrance" examination to the
Chicago Medical University. Expert Phrenologists claim that
this young hercoles has mental ability quite equal to that of his
well known physical strength, and that together with culti-
vation and a strong nerve, he is the making of an admirable
member in that great science of medicine, and more particu-
larly in its branches of surgery and dentistry.

Acting upon the advice of many, Mr. Buohanan has decided
to devote the remainder of his life to this study, and will in
all probability enter as a student in the above well known
Medical College in September next.

A rather peculiar joke was played on the good natured
antipodean the other day. It appears when being shown
around the college he was, by utter surprise, led into that
chamber of horrors — the dissecting room. Buchanan's
nerves can perhaps be imagined when (unlike eveiy99out
of 100) he watched with enraptured interest the students at
that remarkable study of cutting and slicing the dead.

Those who have had the pleasure of meeting this hand-
some young gladiator intimately must admit him to be not
only an athlete of the first standing but also an exceptionally
shrewd and intelligent fellow. As a lad he was educated at
the Auckland College and Grammar School, New Zealand, in
which country he was born of Scotch parents on May 18th,
1867. Mr Buchanan's many admirers in this city will watch
with interest Mb future progress, and will hope his mental
abilities will prove as great if not] greater than his
famous physical powers. Mr. BuchaDan expects to secure
his diploma in 1894.

The amateur athletes are waiting with bated breath for
the approach of Decoration Day. Already they have given
up severe exercise and are now contenting themselves with
jogging. Friday next will certainly prove a red letter day
in the history of athletics on the Pacific Coast and it is pos-
sible that the championship meet of 1890 will excite more
real interest than any other athletic meeting which may
take place for years to come. A few records will no doubt
be broken, and if the cinder path at the Olympic grounds
was not quite so soft, the majority of the PaciBo Coast rec-
ords would be knocked on the head.

The following records will, we feel certain, go under: half,
mile and five mile runs, three mile walk, throwing 161b. ham-
mer. The pennant should be easily won by the Olympic
men who have everything in their favor.

With first class training grounds and a large number of
athletes to draw from the Olympio Club could not be other-
wise than strongly represented. The University team will
stand no show whatever for firBt place. Moffet is out of
condition, and Magee will not compete. Somehow or other
this year the Students do not seem to take a genuine interest
in training, and they can scarcely be blamed. The cinder
path at Berkeley has been neglected and the boys have had
no place to practice. The Alpines are in the same boat with
the Students for they, too, have bad to rely on the old Bay
District track for training quartars.

The U. C. men on account of their numbers should take
second place and as the Garden City Club, after all the news-
paper bombast in its favor has sent in only two entries, the
Alpine Clnb will easily win third place.

The next handicap meet of the California Foot-racing Asso-
ciation will be held at Central Park on Sunday, June 8.

A special "Ladies Night" exhibition was given at the Olym-
pic Club rooms on Thursday evening. As we had already
gone to press we Bre unable to present our readers with an
account of the entertainment in the present issue.

The boxing contest of 8ix, eight and ten rounds will be
given at the Olympio Club in June, for which valuable prizes
will be awarded.

ApropoB of the half mile race which was run at the new
grounds of the Olympic Club on Sunday last, the question
arises, Will the P C AAA allow Walter A i? cott a reoord or
not? The entries were: WA Scott, scratch. S V Window,
29 yds; S V Cassiday, 30yds; J M Whelan, 25yds; J O'Kane,
35yds: C Jellineak, 40yds; J Kortick, 40yds; J W Flynn, 55
yds, and W H Toomy, 55yds. Toomy led for the first quar-

;ry

JbT

om

ter, when Flynn took the lea3. About 150 yards from the
finish Cassidy and Scott closed up with Flynn, and a grand
struggle began. Cassidy broke the tape in 2:05 3-5. Scott
finished about a foot behind, with Flynn close at hiB heels.
It is claimed tnat the watcheB were stopped on Cassidy,
which, if true, would deprive Scott of his record. There is
no doubt, however, but that Scott broke the record of
2:06 2-5, held by J G Sutton of the U C, and on Decoration
Day he should again improve the recdrd.

Jarvis states that he will undertake to lower the oue-quar-
ter, one-half nnd one mile walking records on May 30tb. He
feels confident that the man who beats him in the mile will
have to do better than 0:50.

There will be a handicap one quarter of a mile run at the
Olympic grounds to-morrow for members of the club only.

Cooley should win the five mile run on May 30tb, with a
couple oi hundred yards to spare.

He Arthur has retired from the cinder path. Had he gone
into strict training for the championship games he might
have carried off the mile.

Foster stands an excellent chance of winning both hurdle
events.

We understand that the Alpine Club has refused the appli-
cation of Kankin, the runner, for membership on the ground
that he is a professional.

"Honest" John Purcell, when asked if he was goiDg t<
break any of the records on May 30th, answered, "I will try
to oome within my measwra&Je_distances." If his businesa
would permit, Purcell could, with a month's practice, lower
the hurdle, shot putting and pole vault records.

The Alpine Club has changed the color of its emblem fro;
red to blue.

The Olympic Club has decided that the Lean-Kclb wrest-
ling match was not a fake.

The Occident in a recent issue censured the students for
not paying their assessments towards the Athletic fund. The
article ended as follows: "The Olympio Club men are work-
ing very hard and the Alpines are going to make it warm in
several directions. Meantime the boys are taking things
pretty easy and will get Eeriously fooled."

Several new runners will make their appearance in the
members races on Friday next. Since the new grounds have
been opened a good many young Olympians have discovered
that they are runners.

The Acme Athletic Club will give a "Ladies Night" exhibi-
tion at the club rooms, 305 Hth St., Oakland, on Thursday
evening, May 27th. A fine programme of sport has been ar-
ranged.

OIT THE WHEEL.

H. Lichtenstein and H. Posner will Btart for Monterey on
June 1st. They will possibly remain over a week and the]
return by another route.

Several members of the Oakland Bicycle Club started from
Fruitvale on Sunday last for San Jose, in charge of Captain
G. F. Drake. The run turned out to be a very enjoyable
one. The start was made at 7:30 a. m. and Captain Drake,
J. Kevalk, H. J. Gage, S. K. Irish and G. Gibon reached the
Garden City at 1:30 P. m. The team returned home by rail.

Capt. Kicbardson of the Bay City Wheelmen has called a
club run to Lake Pilarcitos for to-morrow morning. The
start will be made from the cor of 21st and Mission Sis.

AT THE OAES.

Although the bay was rather rough for sculling the few
oarsmen who remained home from the Dolphin's Club pic-
nic took their regular spin on Sunday.

Much rivalry exists between the average light weight ama-
teurs of the Pioneer Club. A match race for a trophy will
be rowed to-morrow and the same crew will change boals and
compete again on the following Sunday. Should each crew
be successful in winning a trial then the Captain of each
crew will toss up for choice of boats and row the deciding
race on the 8th of Jcne. Already several dinners and hats
have been wagered that the Hamaban crew will win two
straight heats.

There is seme talk among the members of the Alpine Ama-
teur Club of making an effort to consolidate with the Colum-
bia Amateur Club of Oakland. The move would certainly
be a good one and if carried out would mateiially help to
boomaquBtics this season,

It is to be hoped that the Board of Snperviaors will accept
the services of the Pacific Bowing Association tendered them
at their laBt meeting thereby doing away with the illfeeling
existing in past years amongst the oarsmen.

Charley Long and Joe Eirston desire to return their thaDks
to their many friends for the large and brilliant .reception
tendered them on last Saturday at the opening of the new
spoi ting resort. The rowing men will at all times receive a
very ht arty welcome. Mr. Long states that he has retired
from match racing but will compete in regattas just for the
sake of keeping company with hiB old partner Billey Grown-
ey.

The Triton Club haB resumed its former activity and it ia
to be hoped will be strongly represented at the coming
Fourth of July regatta. The Triton crew should make the
pace very warm for the Ariels.

The picnic of the Dolphin Club on Sunday last was well
attended, and a general good time was had all round.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

At the games of the Berkeley Athletio Club held at New
York on Saturday last C. H. Sherrill of Yale, won the 100
yards in 10 seconds; L Robinson of the YAC won the 150
yard run in 14 4 5secs; W C Dohms of the N Y A C equalled
the record of lmin 11 2-5 Bees in the 600-yard run. The two-
mile run was captured by W D Day of New Jersey, in 9miu
32 l-5eecs beating (he Amtiican record of 9min 38sec. J P
Lee broke the record iu the 220-yard hurdle, making the dis-
tance in 25 3-5secs.

Willows Athletic Club.

The second exhibition of the Willows Athletic Club was
given at Star Hall, Willows, on Friday evening of laBt week.
The club engaged for this exhibition two members of the
Olympic Club, of San Francisco, Messrs. Stack and Espinosa.
They left the city on Friday morning for "Willows, but failed
to change cars at Davisville and went into Sacramento, where
they telegraphed the club. The managers did not propose to
disappoint the people, so they chartered a special train at
Sacramento to bring the two performers to Willows. The
special left Sacramento at six o'clock and arrived in Willows
ten minutes of eight, which is the fastest time ever made
between Sacramento and Willows. The performance by the
local gymnast boys was far ahead of what was expected.

The tumbling and bar exercise by the Davis and Rams
Brothers, Ed. Killebrew, Ed and Bert McMath, Ira Hoeh-
heimer, Myron Kyes, Tom O'Brien, Roy Marshall and Mud-
get, the CIowd, were exceptionally good and showed that the
boys have made wonderful improvement since their last ex-
hibition. The glove contest between Porter and Ajax showed
marked improvement since the last appearance before the
public. Duncan McCullam's slack wire walking was far be
yond what one would expect from an amateur. Professor
Leandro astonished the audience by his wonderful feats in
tumbling and on the bar,

Messrs. Espinosa and Stack performed a number of very
difficult feats on the bar and in their brother acts of tum-
bling they were simply wonderful. They also gave the best
glove contest ever witnessed in Willows. The performance
was a grand success and a credit to the Willows Athletic
Club and their excellent teacher, Professor Leandro.

The singing by Messrs. O'Connell, Ajax, Hughes, Wadding-
ton and Apperson was ' great." O'Connell has a wonderful
bass voice and completely captivated the house.

After the p?rformance a social dance was given. Professor
Apperson's orchestra furnished the music, and all enjoyed
themselves for several hours.

University Athletes.

Good sport at Berkeley witnessed by a large audience.

The University Athletes held their 16th Field-Day on the
Cinder track at Berkeley on Saturday last. At least 2,500
people, many of whom were ladies were present. The
weather was tine but tbe track was in very bad condition.

On tbe Bide of the dam Three Cheer* is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (tbe only horse that ever beat Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Rate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His graDdam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
tbe greatest events in the annals of tbe turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the 6nest type of the Newniin-
ster line in America.

LOCATION.
THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Raneho del Paso. This placa has
been selected tor the reason that first class pistur-
age has been secured there tor the exclusive use of
these mares, and the other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mares (especially mares in foall
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

TERMS.

160 for the season with the usuil return privileges.
Pasturage ?5 per month. Mares cared for as owners
may detiire at bottom rates for grain and bay. All

PERFORMANCES. b

MEMO trotted in public in hiB two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandeeina r-iceon the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was ru-ide in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal Bpeed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question that he would have shown in public vary close to tie best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 secondB.

As a foor-year-oid Meraoon'y s'arted once-at Sacramento -when.althoueh out of condition, he Bhowed
great speed, and improving as he went on, great hopeB were entertained of his going well down in tbe "teens
at the P. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, buc after showing several very fast njiies his leg filled and he was laid op for
tbe season. He is sixteen bands high, and of powerfnl build throughout. His coljr is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition i* all that coula be desired, and bis action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season,

TERMb. $1"0, with usual return privileges, for a limited nnmberof mares. Season to close JUNE 15tb

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of Sin Leandro and eiRbt miles southeast of Oak-

dro. The place to turn offis at Stanley Roaii, where alarge signboard of the farm is placed. Guide bo-trds

after tbe unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent "from t'sn Francisco may be brought over byGircia's Express, No. 3 Market street , San
Francisco. They also have an order box outside of Hawley Brus.' Hardware house on tbe corner of Market
and Beale streets. The express leaves San Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at 1 :3 ■, but all ,
orders Bhould be m the order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at tbe office. No. 3 Market
street, by 11 o'clock at the latest. In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the Souther Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A small charge will be
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horeesare very easily taken irom Oakland totbe farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to |
bring them or sena them, the Jarm will send after any tiling that ib to come. On horses that stay three
months or oyer there is no c harge for getting or delivering. Where a horse stays a short time the actual I
time and expense onlv is charged to him.

Horses can be Bbipped hy rail from almoBt all parts of the State to Sao Leandrn. Always notify the
Farm several days before shipping anythirg, and then men will be on hand to receive sto<*k on arrival ' The
railroad station is but two miles from tbe Souther Farm, and the agent invariablv gives immediate in tire

by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hours in the car.

PiSBenger trains leave Nan Francisco f from the broad gauge ferry) and First and Broadway, Oakland, I
at frequent intervals during the day. 1 here are several trains from San Jose to Nan Leandro on both the
broad and narrow gauge railroads; the brnad gauge, by way of Niles, ie much more convenient f _tr get log to

ily of marked individuality, spirit and endurance: never properly trained or raced, but shows the pos-
session of great speed: perfectly manageable in the stable and on the road and track _.-_„_„ . .. „

others sired the dam of Guy Wilkes and ol Wm. L (tbe sire of Axtelll. and a boo of his sired the dam of
Axtell The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of rbe Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with the Hambletoniane It may be called
"the ready money cross." , „ „ . _ _. , ,

A HALF BROTHER TO

ALMONT PATCHED,

(9:15, trial V:13 3-4).

JUANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1886. As a colt he haa
given much more promise than did Almont Patchen
at tbe same age Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him is
that business c*Ils him away from this Bection of
the State. He will be soli at a reasonable figure.
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

Tbe pedigree of Juanito Jr. is by Jnanito (sire of
Almont Patchen), dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom
Moore. For further rjartii-ulars, address

I have used Simmons" Liver Regnlator in Colic
and Grnbs with my mules and homes, giving them
about half a bottle at a time, and have not lost one
that I gave It to. You can recommend it to every
one who has stock as the best medicir-e known for
all complaints that horseflesh is beir to.

E. T. Tatlob, Ag't lor Grangers of Ga
FOR CHICKENS.

In using Simmons' Liver Regulator (Powder) with
my chickens for Cholera, I take and mix it with tue
dough and feed it to them once a day. By this treat-
ment I have never lost a single chicken in the last
five years from either Chicken Cholera or Gapes.
T. G. Bacon, Edgefield, 3. C.
HOG CHOLERA.

A reliable gentleman who raises every year about
one hundred head of hogs told me he never lost
one from Cholera, although the disease tad often
appeared among bis herd. His remedy is Simmons'
Liver Regulator given in drenching — about double
that given to a man. 1 give this information for the
benefit of those whose bogs may be attacked with
Cholera.— Pbof. F. P. Hopgood, Oxfoed, N. C.

SHIMON'S I.IVEK RK(.II.AIOR
is so conveniently given. The Powder mixed with
the feed will be eatan by horses, cattle hogs, and
chickens readily, while the Liquid (prepared) is
easily given as a drench.

For Beveial weeks stories have been rife relating to a Berl-
ins illness of Electioneer. The rumors have been so varied
od contradictory that a representative of the Breeder and
Iportsman visited Palo Alto Stock Farm oo Friday last to
Uttruiine what truth there was in the many storieB which
e been circnlated anent the grand old horse. More than
ndinary pleasure was expected to be derived from the trip,
us our companion was to have been Jno. B. McCormick
Macon), the well known sporting writer, who is at present
n ttie Pacific CoaBt. However, we were denied that pleasure,
s a telegram from the East called Mr. McCormick off in an-
ther direction, and the trip was to have been made pre-
omably alone, however, on onr arrival at Fourth and Town-
end streets we were gratified at meeting Mr. L J. Btadbnry,
he well known traveller and man of the world, whose face
well known in the Strand, in London, and Broadway,
•*ew York, as it is on Market Street in San Francisco. Accom-
panying Mr. Bradbury was "Nick" Steiner of Bush street,
iqually well at home when welcoming his gueBts or driving
Debind a fast horse on the speed track. The ride to Menlo
Park in such pleasant company was accomplished in short
irder, and on our arrival we found a carriage awaiting us to
.ake the party to Senator Stanford's celebrating breeding
itabliBhment. Although the morning was oppressive, and
le heat and dast just a trifle disagreeable, the pair of Ben-
:ons behind wbich we sat were but a very short time in con*
ing us to the farm. On alighting from the carriage we
found S. C. Ferguson, Henry Walsh and Kichard Havey
ady to welcomfc us.

As was natural the first inquiries were in reference to the
health of Electioneer, and the party were more then pleased
on learning that a decided improvement was manifest in his
condition. It was" our extreme good fortune to meet there
r. Harry E. Carpenter, who for at least a week had been
iking daily calls on the premier stallion of Palo Alto. Many
the stories which were prevalent in San Francisco in re-
ird lo Electioneer were narrated to those in attendance, and
ih and everyone declared that the stories about a sprain or
ury were not grounded on truth. It seems that laBt year
ictioneer was troubled with sciatic rheumatism; the attack
was very slight and he readily recovered, but this year the
old complaint again returned, leaving him in a rather pre-
carious condition. Veterinary advice was at once Bought,
and owing to the great care bestowed there is every prospect
that Electioneer may still survive for many years. It must
be confessed that the horse has been in eminent danger, and
for two days his life was despaired of, bat Dr. Carpenter
feels that the crisis has passed, and there is every reason to
believe that Electioneer is on a fair way to recovery. For
several days he was fed but milk and eggs, which, with the
aid of Pepsine, was easily digested, but now he has so far
improved that stronger food is beinq given him, and he rel-
ishes his meals in a manner that shows no signs of weak-
ness inside. The spasmodic twitchings incidental to sciatica
are still observable but not nearly so bad, so we were told,
aB when the horse was first taken ill; owing to weakness, it
was found necessary to hoist him with a band and block and
tackle, but his legs have recovered so much of their strength
that he can now rise without artificial aid. Electioneer, as
many of our readers are aware, is now in his twenty-second
year and Bhows the signs of advancing age bat still his eye
la as bright and his coat as glossy as it was when the writer

first saw him in 1879; the back has fallen in a trifle, and the
fore legs are bent just enough to show that this great son of
Hambletonian is fast approaching the sear and yellow leaf;
yet still he has served twenty-eight mares this season, and it
is to be hoped that he may livelong enough and have the
requisite vital strength to leave many more of his progeny
behind him before his days of usefulness are over.

A visit was paid to a paddock where Beautiful Bells is lo-
cated, with her Buckling foal by Electioneer. The writer had
the pleasure of seeing Beautiful Bells start in the first race
she was ever entered in, and although she has taken on the
matronly appearance of a broodmare, she still looks as young
and vigorous as she did in the latter part of the '70's. Her
foal is a handsome bay filly with small star, off hind foot and
inside of ankle white, Dear hind foot white, to ankle with
black spots around the coronets; she is apt to put the spec-
tator very much in mind of Hinda Kose, in fact more so than
any of the other foals which this prolific mare has ever had.
After viewing the two most celebrated horses on the place
a walk was taken to the race track where everything was full
of life and animation. Fourteen drivers on a track at one
and the same time 1b a sight hardly to be seen on any public
track in the country, let alone a private one, yet still we had
this pleasure at Palo Alto, and many were the fast ones
brought out and speeded while we were present.

"Dick" Havey, as is well known, has charge of the trotting
division during the absence of Mr. Marvin in the East. Ha-
vey is no stranger at Palo Alto, having trained horses for
Senator Stanford in the years gone by. There are at present
in the neighborhood of eighty trotters undergoing the re-
quisite amount of work to enable them to stand a canipnign
this year. When the season opens up, some ten or a dozen
of the best of these will be sent to uphold the supermacy of
Palo Alto. Among those which Mr. Eavey is handling him-
self are Electricity 5844 by Electioneer, dam Midnight (dam
of Jay Eye See 2:10 and Noontide 2:20 J) by Pilot, Jr. 12.
Electricity is a large brown horse with rear hind fcot white,
161 hands high, foaled 1884; he has always had a great amount
of speed but has never been able. to come to the wire owing
to an unfortunate habit of interfering, a habit which has
can ed one of his legs to badly swell, no matter what boots
or other appliances have been put onto prevent it. Mr_
Havey is under the impressioD that this sort of annoyance
can be obviated, and already there are decided signs of im-
provement; whether Electioneer will still remain in good
fettle or not is impossible to say at present, but if he doeB
there is no cause to doubt but what there will be another
of the Electioneer family to go in 2:20 or better.

ExpresB 2:21 is by Electioneer, dam Ester by Express,
grandam Colosseum by Colossus, son of imp. Sovereign.
This bay gelding is, as can be seen by the pedigree, one half
thoroughbred, and aB his head is much more level than it
was last year he may be fully expected to lower his present
mark considerably.

One of the most graceful horses to be seen at Palo Alto is
Sport 2:22$ by Piedmont 2:17J, dam Sontag Mohawk (also dam
of Sal lie Benton 2;17jJ and Eros 2:29.!}; he is a fine, big, strap-
ping fellow, a beautiful dapple gray in color and is as hand*
some a horse as one could wish to see, although not in the
catalogue as one of the stallions of the ranch, he has served
quite a number of mares this year and later on will be driv-
en to reduce his present record.

Almoneer is a bay colt, two years old by Alban 5332, dam
America (dam of Bonnie, 2:25, and Benton 2:27$) by Hamble-
tonian 10. This is a handsome little fellow and gives prom-
ise of great speed.

Another of the two year-olds from which much is expected
thiB year in the way of speed, is a bay filly by Electioneer,
dam Lady Ellen by Mambrino 1739. This elegant young
lady is of splendid appearance with a smooth easy way of
going that convinces the beholder that sbe is able to keep up

the reputation of the farm. Elleneer was able to trot very
fast as a yearling and she will undoubtedly be another of the
phenominal productions of Palo Alto.

Kebecca, the dam of Bexford whose three-year-old record
of 2:24 made him famous, waB bred in 1885 to Ansel 2:20,
her production in 1886 being the bay filly Ariana, and bar
accident she should be able to give another fast record for a
California trotter. She is of handsome appearance, very tak-
ing in her gait, and goes her quarters already fast enough to
warrant the belief that she is entitled to a place in the stable
which will represent the Senator on the circuit.

Another of the Havey Btring which is showing up very
well is Susette by Electioneer, dam Susie (dam of Suisun
2:25) by George M. Patohen Jr. Susette is a full sister to
Suisun and has sbown speed enocgh to convince Mr. Havey
that he has a first class mare in charge. Susette is one of
the brood mares of the farm and already has a brown colt by
Nephew but it was deemed expedient to try and get a record
for her as she has shown so much speed at the trot.

Of course there were scoreB of other horses Been going
through their work, but the sight presented was more of a
moving panorama than anything else. And while pedigrees
were given without number, it was a hard matter, in the
short time we had at command, to take notes of all the fast
ones that were exhibited.

After luncheon a visit was paid to that part of the domain
which is ruled over by Henry Walsh, the section where the
thoroughbreds are at home and to be seen, Here a legion of
boys were found, and it took but a very short time for all the
noted broodmares and their foals to be paraded before us.
Without fear of contradiction, the assertion is boldly made
that on no farm in the world can a finer lot of suckling thor-
oughbred fdals be seen in proportion to their number, than
at present are, at Palo Alto. With a pride that was perfeotly
justifiable, Mr. Walsh called the attention of the party to the
many good points of each that were brought forward, and for
good strong backs and loios, perfect shape, and stout sturdy
legs, these litlb lads and lasses will take a lot of beating.
The old trainer pointed out an exquisite filly which Senator
Stanford has selected in his own mind as being the best of
the year, and without a doubt she well deserves the compli-
ment, but Henry could not resist the temptation to point out
a big, lusty colt to which he has pinned his faith, and if the
two ever meet in track work, it would be a hard matter to
guess before hand the winner.

The broodmares all looked well, the two to which especial
attention was oaid being imp. Fairy Roeo, dam of ltacine, and
imp. Flirt, dam of Flambeau; both of them looked well, the
first having a foal at her side by imp. Cheviot, while the
latter had a handsome foal by Flood.

The stallions were next brought on*, and caused favtrable
comment from their handsome looks. Flood, Shannon, imp.
Cyrus, Flambeau, imp. Bruce, Peel and Rinfax were all Been,
and although they all have their good points, fancy leads us
to believe that the young stallion CyruB will leave an indel-
ible mark at Palo Alto; he is by Wenlock, dam Teardrop by
Scottish Chief, with a pedigree that takes in the more prom-
inent of the celebrated stallions to be found in the English
stud book; poBBibly a little under size to the critical eye, still
with power enough to warrant the belief that his progeny
should each of them be able to carry "a house and lot."

After bidding Mr. Walsh good-day, oar party waa driven to
the magnificent buildings now being erected by Mr. and Mrs.
Stanford, which will in the future be known as the Leland
Stanford Jr. University. One cannot conceive the vastness
and magtiificeuce of this great donation to the people of the
State of California without going to Bee it themselves. Acre
upon acre of ground is covered with mammoth stone build-
ings which will stand as monuments for all time to come of
the gnnerosity of Mr. and Mrn. Stanford to the future gener-
ations, o! this, their adopted State. From a casual glanr.

seemed as though a perfect army of men were at work finish-
ing these grand edifices, and outside of the donors, no one
will possibly ever know how much has been expended on
these mammoth buildings. California will indeed owe a debt
of gratitude to the Stanford* for this their great work, and it
is safe to say that their honored names will be revered in ages
to come for their munificence in this direction.

From the grounds of the University a visit was paid to the
magnificent avenues and carriage drives which surround the
private residence of the Senator, drives which are lined with
trees on either hand, shrubbery and flowers, lending an am-
brosial fragrance to the air that is hard to be met with any-
where. Gardners and their assistants were laying out beds
of flowers in a most artistic manner, and beautiful scenes of
landscape work were being arranged by those haviDg the mat-
ter in charge. It is bard for the mind to conceive such a
fairy place, for on every hand were such visions of loveliness
that is is impossible for the pen of mortal to describe it. One
of the celebrated trees after which the place takes its name,
!S still standing on the San Francesquita Creek, which flows
through this great domain. Up to within a very short time
ago, two "Palo Altos" stood on the banks, but lately owing
to high waters, one has been oarried away, leaving only the
one sentinel to be pointed oat in future, why it was that Sen-
ator Stanford's farm got its name.

For the benefit of those who have been unable to visit
Palo Alto, we will say there are 540 stalls, three kindergar-
ten tracks, a mile track and a three-quarter mile track for
the trotters, and a mile track for the runners. Over eighty
men are at present employed looking after the trotting horse
division, while about twenty-five men and boys are attend-
iftg to the thoroughbreds. For the boys who work at the
lower end of the ranch under Mr. Welch's charge, a night
school has been arranged, and each evening two teachers are
on duty so that the little fellows may not snfler for laokof
education.

We can hardly close without returning our thankB to Mr.
Ferguson, Mr. Reynolds, Mr. Walsh and Mr. Havey for the
kindness shown us, and we hope the day may not be far dis-
tant when time will allow a repetition of the visit.

Imported Diomed.

As the name of imported Diomed is about as intimately
connected with the foundation of the American trotter as
that of imported Messenger, the following history of the first
winner of the English Derby will be read with interest:

Diomed, by Florizel, son of Herod, bred by Sir Charles
Banbury, foaled 1777, dam sister to Juno, by Spectator, son
of Crab, out of Horatia, by Blank. 1789— Newmarket sec-
ond spring meeting, won a sweepstake, Ditch-in beating An-
tagonist, Diadem and Savannae; Epsom won the Derby
stakes, last mile of the course, defeating Budrow, Spitfire
and six others; Newmarket July Meeting, walked over for
sweepstakes across the flat; Tuesday, First October Meeting,
received forfeit from four others; Ditch-in next day won the
Perram Plate, Ditch-in beating Rover, Marygold and eight
others; Friday received forfeit from Catalpa, Rowley mile;
Second October Meeting, won a subscription of 20 guineas
each, eight subscribers, B. M. beating Teetatnm, Duchess
and two others. 1781 — Newmarket Craven Meeting, Diomed
received 250 guineas forfeit for Savannah in a match over the
Becon course; First Spring Meeting won the ForteBque
stakes, Ditch-in beating Spitfire, King William and three
others; Second Spring Meeting, won Claret stakes, Becon
courBe, beating Antagonist, Arske and four others; Notting-
ham met his first defeat, running second to Fortitude, by He-
rod, in the Nottingham stakes, twice round the course, Bay
Bolton by Matchem. and one other behind him, Newmarket
First October Meetiog was beaten by Budrow. by Eclipse,
Beacon course. 1782— Newmarket First October Meeting,
paid forfeit to Crop in sweepstakos, D. C. 1783 — Newmar-
ket was unplaced in the Craven Btakes, from the ditch to the
turn of the lands, won by Alaric; Newmarket First Spring
Meeting, was third to Labuenam and Drone, over the B.C.
conrse, six others behind him; same meeting ran second to
Drone for the Ring's Plate, R. C. course, Grasshopper, Buc-
caneer and Nottingham behind him; Ascot Heath was third
to Soldier and Oliver Cromwell, four miles, beating Truth
and Guildford; won Her Majesty's Plate, four mile heats,
beating Mercury; Lewes was beaten by Mercury and Dia-
dem for Her Majesty's Plate, four mile heats, beating Lottery
who won the first heat; Winchester was second to Anvil in
Her Majesty's Plate, four mile heats, beating Mercury; Lewes
was beaten by Mercury and Diadem for Her Majesty's Plate,
four mile heats; Diomed fell lame in the race, and was retired
from the turf,

After the season of 1798 Diomed, tben in his twenty-eec-
ond year, was sold for 50 guineas, and afterwards reBold to
Col. John Hoomes of Virginia, for 1,000 guineas. He was a
successful sire in England, the most noted of his get were
Glauous, Lais, Playfellow, Robin Grey, Grayhound, Wrang-
ler, Cedar, Victor, Valiant, Montesuma, Sir Cecil, Anthony,
Whisker, Champion, Little Pickle, Fanny, Laurentina, Eg-
harn, Agamemnon, Frolic, Lord Fitz william's mare, the dam
of Wonder, Miracle, Caleb, Quo tern, Cossack, etc., Tonng
Noisette, the dam of Navigator, Clermont, Marmion, etc..
Young Giantess, the dam of Sorcerer, and Eleanor, the first
mare which ever won the Oaks and Derby, and the dam of
Mul6y, sire of imp. Leviathian, Margrave, etc, Julia, the
dam of Phantom, Lydia. dam of Corporal; Oressida, th* dam
of imp. Priam. There is scarcely a good horse in England
of this day but what has some of hiB blood. In America he
sired Sir Arcfay, called the Godolphin Arabian of America;
Ball's Florizel, Daroc, sire of American Eclipse; Tom Gal-
lant, Potomac, Stnmp the Dealer, Vingt'um; the dams of
Henry. Shylccb, Cicero, Lady of the Lake, Riohmond, Dio-
med Eagle, DucheBB of Mailborough, Maria Archy, Fanny
Hill. He also sired Lady Chesterfield, Wringjaw, Miss Jef-
ferson, Peecemnker Hambletonian, Hanie's Maria the best
mare of her day; Wonder, Virginius, St. Tammany, Trux-
ton, Herod, Madison, Sting and a host af others. Diomed
was a solid chestnut, without white, except on the heel of
the right hind foot; 15| hands higb, with great substanoe
and muscular power, which he transmitted to his stock. He
died in Virginia in 1808, aged thirty-one years. He left be-
hind him a name and fame which will endure to the tnd of
all time, and crowned with laurels of the two great racing
countries of the world. — England and America.

The Alcryon Case.

Judge Corlett of the Superior Court of Erie County, N. Y.,
in deciding the injunction suit of F. L. Noble and George
Robens v s. The National Trotting Association said:

It appears that the corporation has five judicial districts
which include Canada and the Uniten States; that tribunals
exist which are a part of the machinery of the corporatian to
try and determine questions which may arise, impose pen-
alties and inflict punishment; that this court or tribunal con-
sisted of four members. It also appears that there is within
the corporation a congress whioh represents not only the
corporation, but the numerous local orginizations whioh are
members. No question is made but that the injunction was
obtained for the purpose of presenting the defendants from
trying the plaintiffs on the charges of fraud and punish them
in caBe of conviction. The action was brought for that pur-
pose. The structure of the complaint, the form of the prayer
for relief, the rules and by-laws, all of which are made a part
of the complaint, clearly show the relief sought by this aotion
The numerous allegations in the complaint alleging want of
power and jurisdiction in the tribunal-to try and determine
show that the pleader proceeds up in the assumption that if
the tribunal was not regular or lacked jurisdiction, its decis-
ion would be null.

The plaintiffs sought before the tribunal to obtain an ad-
judication in their favor of the jurisdictional questions by
way of preliminary objection. It was not until after a rnling
against them on those questions that this action was brougnt
and the injunction obtained. It is not alleged, and nownere
appears, that the congress as such has any power or juris
diction to try and determine charges or inflict punishments.
Its functions seem to be legislative and executive, not judic-
ial. The primary object and purposes of the congress seem
to be to secure the rights and privileges of the local organiz-
ations and produce uniformity and harmonious action be-
tween the central corporation and the numerous raoe-courses
which are members. Those local associations appear to be
owned by private individuals, the central corporation having
no legal title to the property, but for the purpose of further-
ing the objects for which the corporation was formed, to se-
cure equality, uniformity and harmony, in short, for the
interests of the central corporation and all its branch mem-
bers, a congress was created so that all branches of the cor-
poration should be fully represented and its business har-
moniously carried on.

Construing the injunction order and the resolution of the
congress in the light of these suggestions it is very clear that
the parties charged are not guilty of contempt.

No steps were taken by the tribunal enjoined or any of
its members to proceed with the trial after service of the in-
junction order. On the other hand, the body adjourned,
the term for which its members were elected expired, new
persons were chosen to perform judicial duties, and then the
congress assembled.

It is entirely immaterial whether the individuals composing
the congress, or whether the President of the corporation or
the members of the judicial tribunal formed a part of that
body. It was a different organization, and created for other
purposes.

A reference to the preamble of the resolution complained of
shows that the injunction order is treated by the Congress as
applying to and restraining the Board of Reviow. There is
nothing in the peramble or body of the resolution indicating
any intention or purpose to disregard or in any way violate
the injunction. Its resolution was to suspend the plaintiffs
and their horses from all benefits of the local organizations
until after the trial and determination of the question of
fraud by the judicial tribunal. So long as grave questions
remained undecided, the congress proceeded upon the as-
sumption that the interest of the corporation and its branches
would be advanced by preventing the plaintiffs or their
horses from participating in its benefits until the accusations
were tried and judicially determined according to the rules
of the corporation.

Interest, progress, fair dealing and reputation often require
aotion during the pendency of proceedings, in order to pre-
serve reputation and advance the usefulness of the corpora-
tion. It may be true that personal animosities and bitter
partisanship had arisen between the parties to this controver-
sy, and that in the aotion taken those considerations produced
prompt and extreme action. It also maybe true that the
practical effect of the resolution, if carried into execution will
inflict great injury and loss upon the plaintiffs. But those
considerations throw no light npon the question whether its
adoption was a violation of the injunction. Those passing
the resolution did not assume any right or power to take the
place of the trial tribunal, or to adjudge upon any of the
questions involved in the action, or as a body representing
the corporation and its branches, it did not assume to have
the right to pass any resolution it saw fit which in its judg-
ment would be a benefit to the corporation in case it did not
violate the injunction. If the passage of the resolution re-
sulted in inflicting injury upon the plaintiffs wrongfully, no
reasons are seen why the plaintiffs have not a remedy at law
to recover damages against those unlawfully interfering with
their rights. But an injunction order granted upon specific
grounds to restiain the performance of certain alleged acts
cannot be treated as violated beoanse other action may be
taken, even though those acts may inflict as much injury as
a performance of those restrained by the injunction- assum-
ing it does not embrace the acts restrained.

Every wrong has iis appropriate remedy, but a precise
remedy applicable to peculiar acts cannot be invoked in sup-
port of different acts, though they may be wrongful if not
within the scope or compass of the original remedy. The
fact that the obtaining of the injunction may be the sole cause
of the passing of the resolution is unimportant. Suppose the
congress had said in so many words; "Because you brought
your action and obtained the injur ction and prevented a
trial, we will resort to another remedy which will inflict quite
as much injury npon you as if yon had allowed us to pro-
ceed in the matter unrestrained." It is obvious that that
act, no matter what motives inspired it, could not be treated
as a violation of the injunction order or a contempt of court
unless it was a direct or indirect attack upon the order or its
effect .

The test is not what injury the proposed action will inflict,
but whether it ia a violation of the court. A resolution by a
body not judicial to deprive a person of rights and privileges
cannot be treated as a violation of an order of the court unless
it in some way interferes with it or prevents its execution.
In this case the congress had power to pasB the resolution
adopted, provided it in no way interfered or infringed upon
the injunction order.

The fallacy of the plaintiffs' position is in assuming that
the injunction 1b broad enough to include all the actions and
doings of the corporation or its branches whioh may tend to
injure the plaintiffs.

In Rapelje on Contempts, 57, the rule is stated that an
injunction prohibiting use as a tow-path would not be vio-
lated by its use for other purposes. Bosley vs. Sus. Canal 3
Bland (Md.) 63-68.

There is no obscurity or ambiguity about the order or its
purposes, and the matters to whioh it related. It is not per-
otived that the passage in any way tends to impair its suffic-
iency or detract from its force.

In Laurie vb. Laurie, 9 Paige's Chan. Rep., 233, it was
held that "an injunction should be clear and explicit in its
terms, and should not deprive the defendant of any right
which the case made by the bill does not require he should
be restrained from exercising it."

So in Sullivan vs. Jndah, 4 Paige's Chan., Rep., 44, it was
decided that "an injunction should upon its face contain
sufficient to apprise the party upon whom it is served what
he is restrained from doing, without the necessity of bis
resorting to the complainant's bill to ascertain what the
injunction means."

In the Porous Plaster Company vs. Seabnry, 16 N. Y. 8t.
Rep. 35, it was held that "in order to punish for a violation
of an injunction, the act complained of must be clearly
within the inhibited acts." In the Court of Appeals. German
Savings Bank vs. Haybrook, 58 How. Prac. Rep. 336, it was
held that "in order to punish for a violation of an injunc-
tion the order should clearly embrace the act complained ot"

It is a familiar rule that an injunction in no way interfeies
with the posession or exercise of control over property, un-
less sued acts are prohibited in the order.

Hemmingway vs. PreBton (Walker), Mich. 5L8,

People vs. Simonson, 10 Mich. 335.
Applying the doctrine of these cases to the one at bar, it
is very clear that the resolution is no violation of the injunc-
tion. The complaint, injunction, order and all the objeo*
tions on the part of the plaintiffs were framed for the pur-
pose of presenting a trial and adjudication^ The numerous
authorities cited by the learned counsel for the plaintiffs
have been carefully examined, but none of them conflict
with the doctrine of the above cases.

The application must be denied, and in view of the novelty
of the questions, without costs.

The Management of the Stable-

Much has been written on this subject, and much more will
have to be written before it can be passed as not needing fur
ther consideration. To understand why and wherefore a
thing should be done or left undone will result, with kind
and well meaning people, in more rational treatment of the
horse in the stable than is the general rule.

Pnre air is as essential to the blood as sound food is to the
sustenance of the body. Consumed air is vitiated air, the
volume of oxygen is reduced, carbonic acid is in excess. The
stable is full of organio impurities given off by the skin and
lungs. Ventilation is found in all well rpgulnted stables, and
draughts are unknown, or ought to ba. But these are matters
for individual consideration, and are best settled by the
builder.

Horses drink once or twice a day, and the horse may be
trusted to gauge his thirst, except on occasions of extreme ex-
ertion, such as a hunting morning. That all horses are the
better for being watered before being fed is an admitted fact
with all veterinery surgeons and intelligent grooms. Colio
and gripes are thus avoided. The explanation given is this:
When the stomach is full, water passing rapidly through the
stomach, on the way is very »pt to carry with it, into the
small intestines, undigested corn, and this produces local ir-
ritation. There is less danger in watering a horse actively
warm than when the system is somewhat lowered. Id the
latter case there is not sufficient vitality to raise any consid-
erable quantity o coll water up to the temperature of the
body hence so many chills Bupervene, bowels are deranged,
and the coat of such horses looks unthrifty, or, as we call it,
"stares." Soft water is better for all stock, and on no ac-
count let horses drink dirty water; it is most objectionable.

Hordes have small stomachs. We divide the corn into
three daily portions, the hay into two. We never give hay
just prior to work; it distends the stomach, and causes the
horse inconvenience.

Delicate feeders must be tempted to take their rations, and
such should never be fed too strongly at one time. A little
linseed boiled to a jelly and mixed with the corn is seductive.
Hay damped and salted will tempt others.

Tick beans, a double handful, are a relish in weakly sub-
jects; pale malt for the convalescent or indisposed; damp
bran oats are engaging for others. Some feeders give carrots
and tares in small quantities. Carrots superinduce diabetes
if given in excessive quantifies. The pecnliar habits of horses
demand the attention of all horse owners and grooms. A
sufficiency of flesh is all that is required, and not "hog fat,"
or "beastly fat," as some phrase it.

Clover, vetches and trifolium are laxative and cooling, and
excellent for the invalid horse or the youDgster. They
should be given sparingly, at the early part ot the season.
Green forage should never be given to horses in fast work ex-
cept on Sato rday nights.

Good grooming is demanded under stable management
and in fast work. The brush, as a rule, should follow the
direction of the hair except when dirt and sweat are caked
into the coat: then you require to go against the lie of the
coat — the set of the coat. Good grooming shortens the coat,
gives a gloss and develops physical foroe. "When a good
gloss is present we know the effects of the body — dirt, stall
sweat — have been removed by friction and that the sweat
and oil glands have been stimulated. Of course warmth
shortens a coat, and moderate warmth in a stable, say 60 de-
grees, ia desirable. A hot Btable is contrary to all soupd prac-
tice, and renders bronchial attacks imminent. Horses should
always be groomed after exercise, and, if washed should be
thoroughly dried. Washing horses, except as a refresher in
very hot weather, is bad; it makes the coat harsh. Of course
mud is usually removed, for the Bake of expedition, by water,
but unless well dried after it, grease, oracked heels, mad
fever, etc , are sure to set np.

After washing feet and legs, and drying them, the legs
should be neatly bandaged. Nostrils are, of course, sponged
out twice a day, the dock likewise. White legs must be
treated to soap and water. Good grooming, feeding and ex-
ercise— i. e., stable management — will put any horse into
working condition, and keep him there, with the occasional
nee of an asperient or diuretic ball, as occasion may demand.

THE FARM.

Store Cattle For Great Britain.

Coufimitttory of what has been stated in the Rural World
about the deBire of the farmers of Great Britain to purchase
steers from America and fatten them upon tbeir farms, we
publish a portion of the report of Moreton Frewen, of Eng-
land, who is thoroughly posted on the subject:

There was one point, he said, of which he made a close
study, and it was worth while to consider whether the legis-
lation which was responsible for the present application of
ihe contagious diseases (animals) act was entirely unwar-
ranted by the circumstances of the time. The result of the
rigid exclusion of lean stock from America has been to drive
this country more and more into the dead and fat cattle
trade. As long as ths contagious diseases (animal) act pre
eluded the importation of store cattle from the United States
to this country, he did not think the conditions of agricul-
ture would be quite healthy. The result of the enforcement
of lhatact had Deen to prohibit Eoghsh farmers from buying
their store cattle in the one cheap market of the world. He
was aware that there was a breeders' side to the question.
He had no cattle interests to preserve in America, but was
convinced that Ireland could carry one-third more cattle than
she had now, and the only chance for her increasing her
stock was to buv heifer stock from across the Atlantic and
bring it in alive' On this side of the Atlantic there were
advantages for fattening cattle which no other country
enjoved. If the cattle trade of which he was speaking waB
not subjected to the existing restrictions, and if the English
farmers had their agent-* at Chicago who would forward 4,000
or 5.000 head of lean cattle a day, quite a ne* phase would
be put on the agriculture of this country. As to the "bogey"
of disease, he pointed out that in dealing with America there
were conditions of security which were offered nowhere else.
Five or six years ago there was pleuro-pneumonia, but there
had never been a single outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease
in the United States.

The complete statistics of British imports for the year 18S9
have just been issued, and contain some figures in which
Americans are highly interested. Great Britain imported in
the year no less than 555,221 live cattleagainst 377.086 in the
preceding year, and almost doubling the imports of two years
ago. The total of sheep imported was 678,958, that of the
preceding year being 956,210. This is the only point in
which the imports show a decline. In swine and horses
there was a very slight increase, and in fresh beef the total
of 657,574 cwt. in 1887 was increased to 1,379,511 cwt. in

1889. These figures are highly significant to the countries
which furnish Great Britain with its food supplies. Of the
great increase in cattle the United States furnished the bulk,
our exports of cattle lt»Bt year being 294.423 head, against
143,495 head in 1S88 and 91,858 head in 1887, the trade of the
latter year having been about trebled in 1889. Of the fresh
beef which Great Britain imports the United States furnishes
about nine-tenths. If as many sagacious observers think
onr exportation of animal food should show an increase in

1890, the total report a year hence will be large indeed —

Questions in Dairying".

A new subscriber to The Gazette writes from Southern
Dakota that he has been engaged in the unprofitable business
of wheat-growing, but having his eye3 opened proposes to
start into dairying. He has spring water in the pastures,
good well water at the buildings, large barns, and contem-
plates a silo. He wishes to know what breed of cattle to
choose for dairying, desiring animals that have beef qualifi-
cations as well.

Realising the dangerous character of the ground on which
I am treading I will hasten by this interrogation as rapidly
as possible. Herfords and Polled Angus are beef breeds in
which the production of milk has been practically ignored,
and no claims are advanced for them at this time. The
Short-horns are descended from excellent dairy stock, and
many of the breed in England and this country still retain
the milk-giving function to a large degree. It is not common
at this time to find pure-bred herds where the cows are reg-
ularly and carefully milked, it being considered more profit-
able to let the calves snek the cows. In spite of this abuse
of the milk-giving function, the breed still shows a strong
tendency in that direction, and a herd of grade Short-horns
can easily be established that will do quite well at the pail,
and make good beef. The Red Poll is gaming friends as a
general-purpose animal. A step further down from beef and
up in milk, is the Holstein-Frfesian, with a coarser frame
than the Short-horn and a greater tendency to milk. Unfor-
tunately many of the owners ef these cattle have been work-
ing for a large quantity of milk, ignoring its quality, and a
large amount ot milk with a low percentage of fat is the re-
sult. A large milk yield, even with a low percent of fat, may
make the net amount of butter quite large. In stlecting
these animals insiBt on a fat test. The Guernsey is a spectic
butter cow, producing a rich, yellow cream. The Jersey, a
little smaller than the Guernsey, stands at the other end of
the line from the Hereford, with a bony frame entirely unsat-
isfactory to the stock-buyer. She yields a moderate amount
of milk of high quality for butter production; the milk flow,
however, is so well kept up that when the year closes, the
total production is entirely satisfactory. The last two are
specific butter breeds. Our correspondent can take his choice.
He next inquires regrading methods of manufacturing
butter. .

This cannot be put down in a brief reply like this. Visit
intelligent dairymen andlearnfrom them. Briefly, however,
for a small herd adopt the deep setting system, which is sim-
pler and more satisfactory than shallow pans. Run spring
water into the dairy house and submerge the milk in Cooley
cans, or set it in deep "shot-gun" cans. For chums, beware
of patents, using a revolving churo of the barrel or box pat-
tern. Avoid all churns with inside fixtures, and have noth-
ing to do with those wonderful churns that bring the butter
in two minutes. At first send the butter to reliable com-
mission men, asking for criticisms on color, salting, grain,
etc. ljefc no personal preferences decide, but make such but-
ter as the market demands. When the art has been learned,
and a uniformly high grade of butter can be made, then seek
to deal directiy with the consumer.

"F. W I., Garden Ranch, Colorado Springs, Colo.," aska
which is preferable for cream separation— the centrifuge sep-
arator or the Cooley system.

Each system has its advantage and place. In the Cooley
system the milk is submerged in cold water in a deep can.
If the water is held not higher than 45 deg Fahr. all of the
fat of the milk except something like one-half of one per
cent will be raised to the top of the can between milkings,
where it can be removed by skimming. Careful experiments
with this By stem show that the cream doeB not always rise

equally well; the milk of Borne cows will cream so thoroughly
that only one or two-tenthB of a per cent of fat will remain
in the skim-milk, while the milk of other cows on the same
feed will leave several times as much fat in the Bkim-milk.
The season of the year or length of time from calving alao
affect the efficiency of the creaming, bat in spite of these
disadvantages the system will remain in favor with many
dairymen, and is one of the best in many cases. Where
cold water or ice can be cheaply secured it is the system to
be adopted until the herd numbers 100 cows or over. Where
a large amount of milk is to be handled the centrifugal sep-
arator is more satisfactory, since with careful management it
skims the milk a little closer, on the average, than any other
system, and works uniformsrly with all breeds and at all
seasons. W. A. Henry.

The New Oleo Law in Ohio.

The Legislature of Ohio, March 7th, 1890, passed a law in
regard to oleomargarine, which is reported as follows in the
Ohio Farmer:

No person, by himself or his agent, or his employe, shall
render or manufacture for sale out of any animal or vegeta-
bles oil. not produced from unadulterated milk or cream from
the same, any article in imitation or semblance of natnral
butter or cheese produced from pure undulterated milk or
cream from the same, nor compound with, or add to milk,
cream, or butter, any acids or other deleterious substance, or
animal fats or animil or vegetable oils not produced from
milk or cream, so as to produce any article or substance, or
any human food, in imitation or semblance of butter or
cheese, nor shall Bell, keep for sale or offer for Bale any
article, substance, or compound made, manufactured or pro-
duced in violation of the provisions of this section, whether
such article, substance, or compound shall be made or pro-
duced in this state or elsewhere.

Section 2 defines the terms "natural butter or cheese" to
mean butter made from pure, unadulterated milk or cream,
with the addition of salt and with or without harmless color-
ing matter; and cheese made from pur* milk or cream, with
salt and rennets and with or without harmless coloring mat-
ter. It also provides that "nothing in this act shall be con-
structed to prohibit the manufacture or sale of oleomargarine,
in a separate and distinct form, and in such manner as will
advise the consumer of its real character, free from any color-
ing matter or other ingredient, causing it to look like or
appear to be butter, as above defined.

Section 3 provides a penalty of $500 to $1,000 fine, or six
to twelve monthB' imprisonment or both, for first violation
of this law, and one year's imprisonment for each subsequent
offense.

It appears from the same paper that some of the rich oleo
makers are disposed to contest the law before the Superior
Court.

We live in the hope of seeiDg a House and Senate in the
Massachusetts State House that will enact a similar law.

Sheep Breeding1 in South America.

I will admit that fowls can be made to pay without selling
at fancy prices. In fact, the market business is the surer of
the two, but all will admit that pure bred stock will pay the
largest profit also, for to cross with success one has to use
pure bred males. It strikes me that where one can make a
success of keeping fowls in large numbers for poultry and
eggs, he will make a successful breeder. While writing I will
tell how I have arranged my buildings and care for the
stook. My hatching and brooding house is built the same
as shown in cuts of the Hammonton farms. My incubator
is a 1000 egg hatcher. I can turn out 2000 chicks in three
months. I never let the heat get above 102 degrees, and
think 100 degrees would do as well. I turn eggs twice a day.
My brooders are fourteen in number, and are heated by hot
water pipes underneath. We could never get the chicks to
stay under the mother of their own accord, as in a lamp
brooder, but have now constructed, for trial, false bottoms,
with an air space between, and think it will obviate the difn.
culty. I use the Silver Wyandotte as a business foundation,
so to speak, to get the most chicks from 100 eggs. I cross
the males on Leghorn hens, to get the earliest layers. I keep
the Leghorn pure. The cross lays a little lighter and larger
eggs. For the finest and largest eggs we keep the Wyandotte
pure. While attending the New York show, the party to
whom I ship my eggs told me he compared my eggs with
those of one of his other shippers of entirely White Leghorn,
and found mine to be superior in both quality aod appear-
ance. To get large eggs I feed liberally. My feed for the
morning consists of wheat middlings, buckwheat middlings
and bran, scalded, and mixed together. At noon, boiled oats,
or turnips or cut hayt thickened with bran, with meat once
a week. My breeding pens are 10x10 feet, with a yard 10 x
50 feet. I give as many as I can free range. — G. W. Howell,
in Poultry Keeper.

Best Breeds of Chickens.

There is likely to be a great revolution in the system of
sheep breeding in the Argentine, says the London Live Stock
Journal: Experts have come to the conclusion that the
climate of the province of Buenos Ajresis much too damp
tor the Merinos, and their conclusions are doubtless well
founded, since thousands of these sheep succumbed during
the past winter to diseases brought about by the humidity of
the atmosphere. Long wooled sheep, especially Lmcolns,
thrive much better in Buenos Ayres, and the great stretch
of thinly populated territory between the province and the
Cordilleras offers magnificent pasture for fine wool breeds.

An exchange thus sums up the leading points of preference
in the various breeds of the fowls:

The Langsbans lay the best in winter. They give a
goodly number of eggs, and are excellent table birds.

The Brahmas come next — the light variety of this class ex*
celling the dark.

The Partridge Cochins are the best layers of the Cochin
class. The buffs the best table fowls; the whites, blacks and
patridge fellow the buffs for meat.

The Plymouth Rocks are good layers and capital table
fowls. So are the Wyandottes, but they will lay more eggs
than the Rocks. All the American birds are good, and come
near beiogall purpose fowls.

The Houdans, and the whole French class, are excellent
layers and grand market birds.

The Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish AndalusianB, and Ham-
burgs are the fowla with big egg records, but they are not
worth much for eating.

The Dorkings are non-superior for flesh qualities.

The white Leghorns, Minorcas, Spanish and Houdans lay
the largest eggs.

The brown Leghorns lay the most eggs of the Leghorn
family, but they are smaller.

The Javas recommend themselves as table birds, and very
readily assume fat.

The Jersey blues are , not highly recommended, either as
egg producers or table birds.

The Polish are the handsomest of fowls, excellent layers,
but not recommended for the table.

The Hamburgs are persistent layers, but of no account for
the table.

The American Dominiques are the original American fowl.
They are good layers and table birds, and just the farmer's
fowls.

The game class are second to none for table use, and also
possess a creditable egg record.

Argentine Sheep in En#land.

The importations of live Bheep into the United Kingdom,
which reached a total of 178,354 head iu the first quarter of
1888 and 209,029 in the same part of 1889, fell off to 2,,34o
head in the first three months of the present year. The won-
derful change is due to the scheduling of German sheep,
which have for a long lime formed the bulk of British impor-
tations of this stock. This apparently opens up a field for
supplies from some other quaitc, and advantage of this fact
is already being taken bv exporters from the Argentine Re-
public Over30O live sheep from Buenos Ayres lately ar-
rived at Liverpool, and proved so attractive to buyers that
their flesh brought twice the price of the frozen mutton from
the same country. Two or three of our English exchanges
aay. (in the same words, for we often find the same editorial
appearing in several of them at once): "In the course of
the last year or two there have been unmistakable indications
that the supply of sheep in this country is not equal to the
demand, and that the imports of dead mutton could not make
up the want of live sheep. And the Argentine Confederation
can give us practically unlimited supplies of sheep if they
could be brought here alive. It takes rank next to New
Zealand in the weight of frozen mutton which it sends to
us In 1887 we imported from the Argentine Confederation
251 273 cwt of fresh mutton, and in '88, the last year for
which we have complete returns, we received 345,311 cwt. of
mutton Now that a few of the many millions of live sheep
there have found their way to us, and have sold well, we
may be certain there are more to follow." British importa-
tions of mutton in the first quarter of this year were 401.174
cwt.! against 296,249 cwt. in 1889, and 227,090 in 188S.-

A Larffe Poultry Tard.

Wild Oata.

San Marcos Farmers Will Cultivate Tliem.

\ correspondent wishes to know where the big farms are,
but wants nothing to do with the fancy breeding chaps. I
contend that the day is coming when buyers of improved
stock will look to the farms to find what they want, i. e.» a
good constitution, coupled with fine plumage. To use a per-
gonal example, I will say I live on a ninety-acre farm, and
breed for both utility and fancy points, making specialties of
pure bred fowls and eggs, new laid eggs, eggs for inoubators,
broilers, market poultry, stocking the village poultry houBes
with laying pullets, etc. The question ib, why should I give
up selling fancy fowls and eggs because I carry on the other
branches of the business? Surely not because I live on a
farm for the village breeder will boast of his farm-raised
chick's Possibly the party who carries on his operations in
a village back yard would say I might make a mistake and
ship a customer some bird I was gettiogready for market. In
many cases it could be turned around and read the other
way to the satisfaction of the buyer at least.

Some experiments that have just been made with wild oats
at San Marcos will lead the farmers there to cultivate that
crop quite extensively in the future, says the San Diegan.

For years it has been known that wild oats hay, when
properly cured, made the very best fodder for either horses
or cattle. J. B. Haggin, the horseman, prefers it above all
other dry feed for his thoroughbred horses, and when his
stock is sent Eist annually it is usually accompanied by a
large consignment of wild oats.

In certain localities where the conditions are favorable,
the wild oats grow in a way that amazes a stranger who sees
them for the first time. They appear to require a Boil which
is retentive of moisture, and do extraordinary well in Spring
Valley and other places where the soil remains damp until
late in the season. And under those conditions thousands
of acres of entirely wild land, which has never seen a plow,
may be seen bearing crops of these wild oats, the heads nf
the grain waving above the backs of the horses, and the
ground covered thicker than any field of timothy that ever
grew in the East.

But until very lately no effort has ever been made to bur-
vest this crop for the grain. D. P. Hale, who has jnst re-
turned from San Marcos, states that a successful effort hits
been made there, and the result is surprising. While ordi-
nary oats weighs thirty-two pounds to the bushel, the wild
oats are found to weigh thirty-eight pounds to the bushel.

This fact has attracted some attention, as stated, and there
is already considerable inquiry for the seed. It is believed
that wild oats can be made a most valuable cultivated crop.

The two highest priced cows at the world-famons New
York Mills sale of Bates-Duchess Short-horn, viz , the Nth
and 10th Duchess of Geneva, brought the amazing sums of
$40,600 and $35,010, the highest prices ever paid for cows.
The Montana Farming and Stock Journal says: Although it
is now generally conceded that the fabulous values reached
upon that occasion — when the long-pursed nobility of Eng-
land and plucky syndioates of western-American breepers
met in tierce competition for Duchess cuttle — were the result
rather of the fever engendered by the excitement of the mo-
ment than conservative estimates of actual worth, the event
will always stand as the moat extraordinary in agricultural
history. "Doom the poonds! Gae an wi' the biddin'!" — the
late Simon Beattie's -puck reply to the query of the British
buyer who paused in the thirty thousands to ask how much
English money was represented by his bid— sounded the
key note of the day. It was "plunging," wild and wonderful
Buch as will probably never be seen again about an an :
sale of blooded cattle.

the programme for the Autumn fair. The premium list is
not yet completed, but the speed premiums are fixed upon.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year;
President G. C. Barber; Treasurer, Louis Feigenbaum;
Secretary, Geo. Underwood.

Messrs. Miller and Sibley sold last week to Messrs Schuml-
bach and Parker two yearling colts, Gold Coast and Golden
Slope; both were bred at Palo Alto, Gold Coast being by
Electioneer out of Edith Carr (dam of Campbell's Electioneer
3. y. o. 2:22^) byClark Chief 89 Golden Slope is by Electioneer
out of Ad die (dam of Woodnut 2:164. and Manon 2:21) by
Hambletonian Chief. $12,000 is the reported price.

A number of gentlemen were joking good, faithful old Bob
the venerable stud groom at Belle Meade, the other day.
One of them remarktd to him; "You came very near losing
Iroquois out at the sale the other day." "Not a bit uv it,
not a bit uv it," replied Bob. "You see, me'n General Jack-
son had dat thing fixed. De 'greement was dat de Genr'l
would bid till de horse went ter $50,000 an' den he wus ter
stop short off an' I wus gwine ter lope right in and buy him.

The Directors of the Eleventh Agricultural District met at
Ouincy last Saturday. Bids for the fair were pot in by both
Quincy and Susanville. The former gave decidedly the best
bid, offering $5,144 in cash and the race track, with stands,
etc., in good order. I he fair will therefore be held at Quincy.
The following officers were then elected: J. W. Thompson,
President; J. D. Byers, Vice-President; E. HuBkinson, Sec;
J. E. Pardee, Ass't Sec; J. H. Whitlock, Treas.

Id the returns of the sale of the yearliDgs from Bundoora
Park, Australia, it was stated in one that Bhe was out of a
mare called Device, which, while galloping about the paddock,
broke her leg badly above the knee. Her owner determined
to try and save her for breeding, and had her at once slung
to a tree. Eventually a wooden crutch waB made for the
mare, and she recovered sufficiently to walk about and gather
her food, and since then she has produced and reared several
good foals.

At a meeting of representative men held in Chicago, May
7th, a grand western fall circuit was formed, and the follow-
ing officers were elected: W. P. Ijams, President; H. D.
McKinney, Secretary. Tbe members of the new circuit are
Cnicaso, Independence, la ; Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo.;
Terre Haute, Ind ; Cincinnati, O ; Lexington, Ky , and
Nashville, Tenn. This make a continuous campaign of eight
weeks, and no parse will be less than $1,000.

The Montana Farming and Stock Journal publishes the
following letter:

Alzada, Mout, May 14, 1890.
Editor Journal;

Dear Sir:— I have a mare that has.had two colts this Bpring,
foaled twenty-five days apart. The first was foaled April 15,
and the second was foaled May 10. They are both 6tout and
healthy. Yours respectfully, Geo. K. Shkldon.

The St. Louis Republic says: A remarkable surgical oper-
ation to preserve a horse for the Btud will be tried this week
on the colt Jess Armstrong. The colt is a 3 year old by Glen-
garry—Myrtle, and has shown this spring to be a orack. He
won one race at Memphis and one at Nashville in fast com
pany and was valued at $7,000 by his owner. In an acci-
dent at the looal track a week ago his right fore leg was
fractured and his owner has decided to have the leg amputn-
ted and save tbe colt if possible for the stud. Dr. Crawley
has the colt in charge,

In the last number of Belford's Magazine Dr. Higbee has
the following on the Kentuckian and his horse: "Were
heaven an interminable boulevard, and the transportation
of horses assured, no Kentuckian would misB it, though con-
vinced that it lay through a prohibition district. Other men
own horses, drive them, admire their beauty, glory in their
speed, but nowhere outside of an Arabian legend is a horse
the obieot of so much affectionate solicitude, fo nearly a part
of its owner's being, as in Kentucky. A Kentuckian may be
conceived of without his title? He may exist without an im-
posing pedigree. A bold flight of imagination may even pic-
ture him without his morning toddy— but without a horse
he is impossible."

Senator HearBt's Ballarat, says the Sporting World, was
more admired by the paddock visitors yesterday than any of
the horseB seen within the inclosure. He looked very fit,
and on his appearance many people backed him, Those
who lost their money on him did not regret it, as they no
doubt felt that tbey would get it back again some day, as
the colt will be started with a light weight up, and then a
young jockey who has vim and courage will ride, and the
colt must prove successful.

The Shah of Persia is probably one of the best and most
experienced horsemen in the world. The royal stables of
Persia have always been stocked with hundreds and thous-
ands of picked steeds, fit for state pageants, hunting and war.
The importance attached to this branch of tbe Shah's houBe*
hold brought about the custom, which existed from time
immemorial, until within the present reign, that a fugitive
from the wrath of the Shah could find a sanctuary in the
royal stables. So long as he remained there he was safe.

Senator Stanford in a recent interview said: "My atten-
tion in the future shall be given more to individuality than
in the past. I want a trotter with a good head, an intelligent
animal. Let a hor.^e have a good head, with all that qnality
implies, and you will note that self-possession dots mnch to
send him first under the wire in a cracking race, a race that
all down the stretch may have been fought inch by inch.
Such I have tried and will in the future try to produce at
Palo Alto in addition to speed, and 1b what I mean by the
individuality of the animal."

An effort is being made in Lexington to establish the Blue-
grass Derby, to be run annually at the spring meetings at the
Kentucky Association course. Leading merchants have
signified their intention of contributing toward the added
money, which will not be less than $2,500. The race will be
for three year-olds, but as the Lexington spring meetings are
hdd so early in the season, the distance may not be over one
and a quarter miles. And as this is tbe oldest association in
active operation in the United States, it is believed that the
proposed stake will be liberally assisted by public- spirited
turfmen in other States.

There was never a time when good jockeys were so scarce
as they are at present. Of the score or more riders who
figure as stars, not one of them gives satisfaction to owners.
To the public it is evident that races are lost time and again
because of the inability of tbe pilots of the horses to keep
their mounts straight, not to speak of riding them out to the
best advantage at the finish. As none of the jockeys show
improvement, the only cnLSolation that owners can fell back
upon just now is that all receive about tbe same treatment,
and the ability of tbe horses alone, without the aid of their
riders, must win tbe races.

Mr. Hull, the judicions and successful trainer at Wood-
burn, says the H^rrodsburg Democrat, is getting Pistachio,
the brother to Nutwood, in shape to trot some tbiB year.
Under tbe Woodburu plan of slow development Pistachio,
although four years this spring, has never had any work for
speed, but enough has been seen of his giit to induce Mr.
Brodhead to believe that he will likely make a very fast horse.
After his season this spring Mr. Hull will begin to "feel" him
a little, and we predict that the son of Belmont and Miss
Russell will respond nobly to training.

C.J.Hamlin has decided to follow Miller & Sibley's lead
and bred a few thoroughbred mares to St. Bel's big brother
Chimes. His name appears as a purchaser in the Tennessee
market last week, and if Buffalo's mo^t successful breeder
can teach the results of the union to keep on their feet as well
as Mocking Bird or Prince Regent, there will be no more best
two-in-thiee challenges dated from the Village Farm. By the
way. Chimes ib to be r ampaigned this year, and in that event
it will be doubly interesting to see what the developed sire
will get for the moBt zealous advocate of the undeveloped
sire theory from fillies that were dropped at Belle Meade and
other Tennessee farms.

America has a lot yet to learn in large attendance* at the
races. According to the Cheshire (Eng ) Observer "No fewer
than 60,000 passengers arrived at the Chester General Rail-
way station on the Cup day, which is stated to be by far the
largest number ever recorded on any Bimilar occasion. They
were conveyed in 52 specials and 22S ordinary trains. The
Cheshire Lines Railway Company brought 12,000 passengers
into tbe city, bringing up the total to 72,000 passengers on
both systems, and it requires very little stretch of the imagi-
nation to compute that double that numher, or close upon
150,000 people, were in attendance at the races on the Cup
day."

Fires still continue. An exchange says — speaking of the
Oxford stable fire. At Cambridge, Mass., May 10th, a fiTe
broke out in the Oxford stables, the property of Stearns R.
Ellis. The stables were very extensive, and contained some
valuable trotting and other horses. Of thebeonly seven were
saved, among those rescued being the white gelding Charley
Thorne, 2:25£, owned by J. H. Davis. By far the larger
number were unfortunately, destroyed, including the trotters
Lady Mack and Lookout, 2:2fU, two valuable roadsters owned
by J. W. Hazeb, and the pacer Topsy, the property of F.
Waphbourne. The loss is estimated at $30,000. Mr. Ellis
had $4,000 insurance on his property.

There remain two colts with whom the Lambourne crack
Snrefoot, will have to measure swords on June 4, these being
Right Away and Sainfoin. The first named, as a two year
old, could harc'ly lay claim to first class form, but Sainfoin
has done all that has been asked of him. His success in tbe
Astley Stakes at Lewes was not a very brilliant performance,
but that his more recent display in the Esber Stakes at San-
down is considered by some judges to be quite good enough
for Derby form is shown by the factthat Sir James Miller,
on May 2nd, concluded the purchase of the colt for $7500,
one of the contingencies of the bargain being that, should
the colt win the Derby, one-half of the stakes should go to
the vendor.

The Montana Agricultural Mineral and Mechan'cal
Association hope to have an exceptional meet'ng this year
particularly in the fall. The officers are A. J. Davidson, pros*
Hent; T. C. Power, vioe-prtsident; B. H. Tatem, treasurer;
Francis Pope, secretary.

The Directors are W. A. ChfBsman, L. H. Herehfiald, A.
J. Davidson, Wo. Muth, B. H. Tatem, C. D. Hard, \V. B.
Hundley, Francis Pope, T. C. Power.

The ruleB of the American Trotting Association, and the
rules of tbe American Turf Congress, will govern the raoes.

The association reserves tbe right to atter, amend or post-
pone any or all of these races should the Board of Directors
in their judgment and for cause deem it expedient so to do.

John Campbell says be is going to preserve the enormous
floral horseshoe, which formed the usaal trophy of the race
for the Brooklyn Handicap. He says he intends having the
natural flowers replaced by artificial ones, and a large picture
of the winner, Castaway II., in the center. This is similar
to the plan pursued by Willie Martin, the jockey, who pre-
served the floral horseshoe em Dl em of Elkwood's Suburban
and is very proud of it.

E. Hunter arrived in San Diego last evening from
Denver with a cirload of pure bred Clydesdale and Cleve-
laud Bay stallions. The San Diegan says: — The car con-
tained twelve animals, which were taken to Levi's stables
on H street, where they will be offered at private sale.
San Diego is already well supplied with the draft Clydesdales
but it is believed this is the first importation of the thor-
oughbred (pure bred) Cleveland Bays. Cleveland Bays are
becoming the most fashionable of carriage horses, and would
make an excellent cross on native stock.

Some of the greatest turf performers the world has known
sold for the mo3t insignificant prices previous to their de-
velopment, says the Newark SuDday Call. Some very wise
horsemen think they can tell bow fast an untrained colt will
go by simply looking it over. No horseman that ever lived
oan tell absolutely by looking at a horse how faBt be will go.
That is beyond the kin of horsemen of any type. The
appended list will show the prices at which some of the very
greatest performers were Bold before their greatneps was sus-
pected. Would any one of them have been sold for any such
sum hadthe'r owners been gifted with prescience?

Maud S.. 2:081, $250; Director. 2:17, $200; King Almoot,

increased to great length.

Of the half-dozen candidates for the position of starter to
the English Jockey Club, choice has fallen upon Mr. A. Cov-
entry, of whose abilities we had a sample during the week jnst
past. The Manchester Umpire says: That he performed his
duties satisfactorily goes without saying, and iD selecting
him to fill the office the Stewards have made a happy choice.
The fixed amount of salary paid to the official starter by the
Jockey Club is exactly £350 a year. Extra work, however,
he is allowed to take, and is puid usually at first-class meet-
ings £5 a day, which brings the emolument up to probably
£1500 £ year. The promoters of race meetings are not
obliged to retain the official starter, as they can engage any
other of the duly qualified starters who hold licenses for
this duty from the Jockey Club. Apropos of this official, the
Earl of Suffolk and Mr. \V. G. Craven, in their volume on
"Racing" in the "Badminton Library," say, — "The starter
should be a cool, resolute man, with nerve equal to the strain
of moral responsibility and of actual physical danger- He
must be firm, even to severity, yet Btrictly just to the joc-
keys, who are sharp enough to note any sign of faltering res-
olution. If the jockeys once Iobo their confidence in, or
their fear of, the starter, chaos quickly ensues."

In the neighborhood of the fetlock there are occasionally
found considerable enlargements, oftener on the hind leg
than the fore one, which are denominated wmdgalls. Between
the tendons and other parts, and wherever the tendons are
exposed to pressure or friction, and particularly about their
extremities, little bags or sacs are placed, containing and
suffering to ooze slowly from them a mucous fluid to lubri-
cate the parts. From undue pressure, and that moBt fre-
quently caused by violent action and straining of the tendons,
or often, from Borne predisposition about the horse, these
little sacsare injured. They take on inflammation and some-
times become large and indurated. There are few horses
perfectly free from them. "When they first appear, aud until
the inflammation Bubsides, they may beaccompanied by some
degree of lameness; but otberwise, except when they attain
a great size, they do not interfere with the action of the ani-
mal or cause any considerable unsoundness. The farriers
used to suppose that tbey contained wind, hence their name,
windgalls; and hence the practice of opening them, by which
dreadful inflammation was often produced, Bnd ninny a val-
uable horse destroyed. It is not uncommon for windgalls
entirely to disappear in aged horses.

Le Sport recently published some very valuable informa-
tion with regard to horse breeding in Russia. The writer of
the article sta'es that the total number of horses in EuHSia is
over 21.000 000, of which 15,000 000, or one for every adult
inhabitant, are fit for work. But there is a considerable
difficulty in obtaining the number of horses required for the
army, the reason being that the Remount Commissions pay
such a low price. The creation of stallions depots by the
State is designed to remedy this condition of things, and in
addition to 3,964 private studs, which comprise about 11,600
stallions aud over 100,000 mares, there are now eighteen of
theBe state depots, which contain about 1,500 stallions, all
placed at the disposal of local breeders at fees ranging from
one to ten roubles, the value of a rouble being now about
half a crown. The administration of the Haras bUo en-
deavors to encourage breeding by distributing about 100,000
roubles in prizes for shows and races. The most valuable
prizes are tho*e named after the Emperor, the Empress, the
Czarewitch. aud other distinguished personages who have
rendered services to the breeding interest, while the weights
are fixed according to the English sc*le. But the distances
are not the Bame, for the fiat iac?s rangq from two and a
half miles to four furlongs, while some of the steeple chases

Lieutenant Von Barby, of the Twelfth HusBar Regiment,
Germany, has taken the most interesting ride of late. He
was riding with the troops in the neighborhood of Merse-
bnrg, when his horse took fright and bolted. All efforts to
restrain him being fruitless, he gave him the rein and waitei
his opportunity to jump off. To bis dismay the animal
swerved suddenly in the direction of a plateau overhanging
a broad expanse of water. A few moments and both horse
and rider would be over the edge. A bright flash was seen
for a moment, the saber of the officer fell upon the head of
his Bteed, and they both came to the ground, the man safe.

Mr. W. G. Craven, the well known English raoing man,
has written an article in a contemporary, in which he refers
to the want of staying powers in the present breed of race-
horses. Writers, he says, are continually expatiating on this
subject, and their theory seems generally to be that we breed
entirely for speed, and that, consequently, it is impossible
that our horses Bbould stay. Now there are several causes
why we should be careful not to assert that our horses can-
not stay. The first is the enormous amount of money that
is at the mercy of two-year-olds over short courses, and the
comparatively small stakes that are open for competi'ion
for older horses over courses of two miles and upwards. The
second is the system of breaking and training horses from
early youth to jump into their bridles and .itart with all their
speed necessary for two year-old racing, and thirdly the im-
mense quantity of races which two-year-olds and three year-
olds are run in. The upshot of these three causes is that we
have no idea how many of our thoroughbreds might stay
were their early education that of Eclipse and snch horses as
are everlastingly quoted. Many of the greatest breeders of
modern times believe that our horses can stay as well as
their ancestors did, and justly laugh at the idea of extraor-
dinary speed preventing a horse from doing so.

The Chicago Times says: "George V. Hankins, the owDer
of Robespierre, and his immediate followers, had 'a dead
sure thing' yesterday, and they played the brown son of Jils
JohnsoD and Agnes as though the race were all over but the
shouting From the general manager of the Hankins' estab-
lishment down to the colored porter there was but one feeling
and that was that Robespierre would win, and they bet their
money accordingly.

("I am booked for the poor house,' said the veteran
Charlie Matthews after the result was made known, and the
picture of Rotespierre that stood upon an easel in the saloon
was draped in mourning.

•'In connection with the race a good story is told upon
Hankins. So sure was he of winning that he had prepared
a canvas four feet square, picturing his horse Robespierre
winning the Derby, and this was to have been exhibited in
the saloon the moment the race waB over. The picture waB
completed, and all was in readiness for its exhibition, but,
alas-! 'the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee.'
Robespierre was lost in the shuffle, and after the positions
of the horses have been changed on the canvaB Mr. Corrigan
can purchase a good picture of the Derby finish of 1890 very
cheaply."

Racing in England seems to be hampered by the very
sanctimonious people just as much as it is in the Eastern
States, for an Exchange says: The Nottingham Town Council
have, after a solemn conclave, passed a resolution that no
fresh race committee be appointed after next November, when
the present committee will be at an end. This extraordinary
action of the Council means practically that the races will
cease to exist, for if this augnst body hold snch Btrong opin-
ions on the subject it is hardly likely they will let the ground
— which belongs to them — to anyone else to hold races. Not-
tingham meetings have always been well conducted, and
although that good sportsman, Mr. John Robinson, who is
quite well again, used every endeavor to combat this proposi-
tion, the white chokers and tea-drinkere outvoted the oppo-
sition to this motion. In striking contrast to this feeble
policy of the Nottingham people, the Commoners at Warwick
have determined to lengthen their course, make a new pad-
dock, and extend the grand stand, and the work is to be
taken in hand as soon as possible. The straight run-in will
now be six furlongs, and with theBe improvements Warwick
should again take a high place amongst Midland fixtures.

Germany will hold this year, for the firBt time, a oreat
national horse Bhow. where all the different horse-breeding
districts of the country will be well represented. The Horse
World says: The arrangements are in the hands of the Union
Club, a similar authority to the English Jockey Club, which
gives a full guarantee that the matter will be carried through
properly. There will be a large number of prizes for the 128
classes, the latter being divided into three great divisions:
A. breeding horses; B, luxury and working horses; C, auxil-
iary branches in connection with horse breeding, etc , as
modes of stables, coacheB, veterinary requisites, literatore
(pictures, stud books, etc ). The royal stud will send a large
collection of thoroughbreds (not competing for prizes). Han-
over, Oldenburg, Prussia, etc., will excel in coach hordes,
Saxony and Silesia in Shires and Clydesdales, etc. Pro-
grammes in English as well as in the French language will be
issued daily for the convenience of foreign visitors. Inter-
preters will be in attendance. Foreign breeders and others
will have a good opportunity to obtain a thorough knowledge
of horse breeding in Germany, as the show will represent a
complete picture of German horse-breeding. A special
feature will be the draft trials, driving, and riding competi-
tions. The date of the show is June 11th to 22nd.

Horses have curious fancies, likes and dislikes, and are at
times as unreasonable as women. Squire Osbaldeston, the
well known English turfman, had a horse called Grimaldi,
who for some reason, would Dot face running water. In
consequence of which caprice, he lost the Squire two races;
but he had a thirdoo haud, against Col. Cbarritus' Napoleon
for 500 guineas. The course was over the Donobnrch coun-
try, bo Osbaldeston went to the famous rough rider, old
Dick Christian, and consulted with this equine oracle as to
what was to be done to get Grimaldi over a stiffish brook
that lay in tbe line of the country. Dick bad a wonderfol
power over horBes, bis great secret beiDg coaxing and kind-
ness. He agreed to meet the Sqoire aDd his horse the next
morning at Brixworth, and there, haviog allowed Grimalai
to smell at a small stream, and patted and coaxed him, at
last induced him to cross quite easily. He was then led to
tbe brook. "He'll never cross this, Dick," said the Squire.
•'I'll bet you a guinea he will. Squire," answered Christian.
Dick then waded into the stream, and finding a place where
he could stand, he arranged with Osbaldeston to be in that
place when the match took place. "I'll be here," he said,
''with my hat on the top of a stick; gallop right for me, and
keep him g^iDg " Tbe Squire carried out these instructions
to the letter, and Grimaldi leapt clean over Christian, hat
and all, cleared the brook, and won the match for bis owner,
because he had confidence in the man who coaxed him.

The Umpire says: In the columns of the well- known pa-
per, the "Chester Courant," appeared on Wednesday mor-
ning, apropos of the race meeting, an extract from the "Cou-
rant" of 1790. giving the programme of the May meeting of
that year. The worthy citizens, it appears, made the most
of the sport, spreading it over five days, commencing on
Monday, giving only one race for each day, but, all the
events were heats, and Borne were four mile ones, probably;
but what with cocking in the morning "between the gentle-
men of Cheshire and Denbighshire," the ordinaries at the
various hotels, presumably at the early hour of four or five
o'clock, and no doubt some hard drinking and a little dicing
in the evening, the day would not prove too loDg. 'The
EarlGrosvenorof that day," we quote the "Courant," was an
owner of racehorses, his entries being frequently met with;"
and later on in the year we stumble aoroBs the paragraph:
"Lord Groavenor has not been so successful for many years,
asup tothe late October meetings at Newmarket his winnings
exceed £20,000." This was not bad for the days when added
money consisted of very trifling sums, so we must conclnde
that wagering formed an important portion of that twenty
thousand.

In reply to a letter from Joseph Battell, Mr. Joseph Harker,
of New York, recently writes that the only mare except Dex-
ter's dam that produced three 2:30 performers by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian was Old Kate. "Kate was purchased about
1S56 in Canada by an Irishman by the name of Gourley, now
dead, who had a small stock farm a short distance from New-
burgli, on tbe Hudson River. He raised Brunette as a three-
year-old for $500. He sold Brnno and Daniel Boone at one
aud two years, I think, for $350 for the two. He then sold
Old Kfcte to Major Morton, a neighbor, for $£0. The Major
raised Young Brnno, Miss Brunette and Breeze, and then I
think be gave the old mare to Mr. Backman. I bought Bru-
nette and Bruno from Mr- Monot, now dead, as four
and five-year-olds for 530,000. They trotted m 1S67 to my
road-wagon, weighing 180 pounds, in 2:20£. If Bruno had
been as steady as the mare, they would have trotted in 2:15.
They trotted a half mile four days previous to their trial on
the Fashion track in 1:06, first quarter in 0:34, second ia
0:32. I bought Young Bruno at five years old and Miss
Brunette and Breeze when two and three years old. Iowned
Luln, Gazelle and May Queen (formerly Nashville Girl), half
sister to Lulu, Mattie and Maud S. I bought Maud S. as a
four-year-old, and let Mr. Vanderbilt have her as a special
favor. I paid $20,000 for her. In 1886, the year after Wil-
liam H. Vanderbilt sold her to Mr Bonner, I offered the lat-
ter for a friend of mine $100,000 for her. I sold my brood
mares and four of their colts to Governor Stanford. I have
been driving on the road but very little for the past five
years." — Dunton's Spirit.

"Lord Durham said that racing is the ODly possible means
of obtaining a true feet of a horse's speed and courage. *' and
the Connly GentlemaD, apropos of the irrepressible Lord's
remarks, says:

"Handpome is as handsome does," is a perfectly unassail-
able motto irom a racing point of view, but when we come to
questions of breeding it is only fair to remember that many
a famous racer, beautiful and otherwise, has proved a failure
at the stud. So that, after all, though success on the turf is
an absolute proof of the possession of desirable qualities by
the winner himself, it does not demonstrate with equal cer-
tainty bis power to transmit his own excellencies to his pos-
terity. Again, with regard to the tests of the show ring,
these are by no means limited to the poiots of the horse's
physical conformation. His soundness of wind and limb are
completely established by a veterinary examination, which
some exhibitors consider only too severe, before he is
adjudged any of the honors of victory. He is, moreover,
"put through his paces," and though a good "action" is not
an infallible sign of quality — either as racer, hunter, or back
— it is surely something to the point. * j * At the same
time, we quite concur in the dictum that "most practical
breeders would prefer to have the services of horses who
have distinguished themselves by wincing good races at all
distances on the turf." We are willing to admit that tbe
race course is by far the best — we simply submit that it is
not the only — test of quality in the thoroughbred as regards
breeding purposes. We are here brought back to the incon-
testable and incomparable value of the turf as an institution
for maintaining the quality of our British breeds of horsep.
For the race horse is only one factor in the account. The
thoroughbred is the keystone of the whole racing edifice. His
strain of blood it is which runs tbe feebler or fuller volume
through hunters, hackneys, army horses, and even the cobs
and cart horses of commerce.

Speaking of gentlemen riders, "Rapier," in a recent issue
of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News says: "Gen-
tlemen riders are of various kinds — very various. They
must not accept payment, but some of them think they may
have a tenner or pony on their mount, and forget to pay if it
is beaten, not to mention a more or less liberal profit under
the head of expenses. But all are, of course, not like this.
Some time ago, for instance, a gentleman rider — I most not
mention names, I suppose, but the new starter could add
some details to the story, I believe— was asked to ride a
horse, and was told it would most likely win. He fancied it
himself from what he had seen it do, and, asked if he would
like to back it, replied that be would have a tenner on. He
w&b beaten, and to the astonishment of the person who
managed the hor6e for the gentleman to whom it belonged, a
cbeane for the lost bet was sent on the Monday. Soon after
he was asked to ride the horse again, and consented .
"Yon'll win to-day," he was told; "what sb;dl I pot on for
yon?" "I won't back him," the gentleman replied, "He
disappointed me last time, and I'm afraid Belted Earl will
just beat me." "Oh, no, he won't," the manager replied, "I
shall put your tenner on; you'll win to-day." "No, I shall
not back him to day. Please understand," he added, check-
ing a remonstrance be saw coming, "I won't have a shilling
on." The'race was tud; Belted Earl, a red-hot favorite was
beaten, and the gentleman rider— for it will be seen that he
was a gentleman — won his race. His moont started at 5 to
1, and on the Monday he received a cheque for £50, signel
by the owner of the horse, with whom be did not chance to
be acquainted. I happen to know that £50 would have been
exceedingly useful to him that morning, but he had cot won
it, and disdained to accept it, so, tenring off the signature,
be sent back tbe cheque with an explanation of the circum-
stances. I think I have heard tales of gentlemen rid**™
which make me tbink tbey wonld Dot have acted thus." Wo
cannot spe that there ia anything very remarkable in the
above. No man deserves to be lauded for mere honesty
rjurpose; it is only what we naturally expect of him.

Ballad of the Boots.

Oat spake an ancient angler —

"My boy, you've quit of school,
And, well I ween.
With ardours keen
Burn for the banks of Avon green
And Breamore's hauDted pool;
Yet sooth," quote he,
"Tho' hot yon be,
You'll find the water's cool!

"Wherofore, my son, take this,-and this, —
(Nay, never for a clout!)

For twenty years —

Excuse my tears! —
They've served me, turn about;

Take them, my boy,

1 wish you joy —
These Waders true and stout,

These Boots, solong

The theme of song —
You'll find the comfort out.

"Up, rods and baits! the train awaits—

Walk back, my son," he said . . .
Down to the Old Mill's tumbling tail,
Where Avon shakes her lilies pale,
The eager angler sped —
And on his feet
The BootB felt sweet,
Tho' ponderous of tread.

There gloomed the broad bay's darkling depth,
There wav'ring water shoots,

There glides the stream

With golden gleam
Beneath the alder roots;
And down he dasht and in he splash t

Amongst the reeds and coots —

"A fool might get

His ankles wet,
But I've got on the Boots! '

Yon shelving beach I now may reach,
Far out in the middle mere;
A lusty trout
Lies thereabout,
Where the stream rons sharp and clear,
And a silv'ry side
Makes a glint in the tide,
For the grayling loves it dear;
I'll drop a cast on their nose at last,
Tho' I've tried for many a year!"

"Oh, the Wader's a free and fetterlesB thing
The elements formed to flout —

But what's this feel

Trickles cold to my heel?
Are there any icebergs about?

I say. hullo!

It's got to my toe —
Perhaps it's a twinge of gout? . . .

It can't be Water! in the BOO TS ! !

''Those boots 'so true and stout?'

The theme'" . . . Oh, bosh!

Home, home, squish, squosh,
Thro' a league of dust and drought!

* * * * #

A stretcher met
Him breathing yet:
He'd found the comfort out.

Eels.

[From Heport of the Fish Commission of N.T., for 1889 .]

These fiBh have been our greatest pests, kingfishes, minks
and turtles coming next in the order named. The eels would
•ome up from the salt water at night, through the wet grass,
and get into our rearing ponds and burrow into the Bandy
bottom, with only their protractile nostrils above the sand,
and there live and forage by night. At times we would be
able to locate one by the clean sand which it had turned over
in burrowiDg; but if the eel wbb killed it only prevented far-
ther damage and did not restore the fry which had been de-
voured. Our new rearing ponds, jast completed, have plank
bottoms, in which an eel will find it hard to hide. Some
years ago the Fish Commissioners of Michigan came East and
took a lot of young eels for planting in the great lakes, above
the falls of Niagara. For the sake of fish culture at large, I
hope that these lish went to sea and never returned, because
they are so very destructive and so persistent in going where
ever water goes. Near the salt water, the eel is a great nui-
sance in the trout ponds, and its keen sense of smell leads it
to a deposit of trout eggs, on which it gorges.

Few people know what obstacles an eel can snrmount in
order to reach waters above. At this place there is a mill-
dam with a fall of a dozen feet or more, but the eels go around
it at night, through the wet grass, and cross the road to get
into the mill-pond. I have seen them in the grass, and their
tracks across the road are sometimes plainly Been. I have
seen them in the morning stuck in the dry sand about our
ponds, trying to get into them, and in digging for the foun-
dation for our new building, they were shoveled out of the
muck twenty feet from the pond. I have seen young eels
from two to three inches in length, climb up the boards on
the side of a flume near a dam, to the height of three or
more feet, in their attempts to surmount the obstacle, and
once saw them travel in the oqobb which grew on the top of
an arch, through which the water flowed too swift for them to
stem; a full report of thiB circumstance wilt be found in the
Ninth Annual Report of the American Fishcnltural AbsocI-
otion, page 20, related by a man who was with roe at the
lime. They clung in the mess as do flies on a ceiling.

As the main damage done by eels is among the fry whioh
are under a year old, it may be possible to prevent it by
planking the bottom of the rearing-ponde.

In this connection I may be pardoned for introducing a
flattering notice from the New York Son of November 16,
1888. which shows the remarkable fecundity of the eel. It
ib headed "Nine Million EggB in an Eel." and althongb the
subjeot-matter was published years ago, the Sun makes
come editorial additions to it, and ssye:

"Scientists have known that the eel iB an egg-producing
rish for a dozen years or more, tbe Rossian naturalist, Syrski,
having first figured the ovaries of tbe female aud the sper-

maries of the male, but bow and where these minute eggs
are laid is still unknown. In October the eels run down to
salt water to breed, and in the spring the young eels ascend
the brooks and rivers in Bwarros. Ab they are then some
two inches long, and of the size of a darning needle, it is ev-
ident that they must have been hatohed several weeks before,
perhaps in February, to have grown bo much from bo small
an egg.

Mr. Fred Mather, the well-known fish culturist, has been
estimating the number of eggs in a six pound eel in Novem-
ber (in what is known to fishermen as 'eel fat' but which are
really the ovaries), and credits thBt eel with fully 9,000,000.
Under the microscope he found that they measured eighty
to the linear inch, and taking one ovary and dividing it by
means of the most delicate scales known to science, he halved,
quartered, and further divided the mass seventeen times, un-
til he had a section small enough to coont the eggs in it.

This section represented 1 =131,072 of the total number,
and three sections were laboriously counted under the micro-
scope One of the sections contained sixty-eight eggs, mak-
ing the total 8,912,896 eggs. The second held seventy-seven
eggs, or 10,092,544 in the whole. Tbe third section consi-ted
of seventy-one, from which it would appear that there were
9,306,112 eggs in the eel. Taking tbe last as the medium
number, Mr. Mather figures, in round numbers, that a sis
pound eel contained 9,000,000 eggs.

There have been many theories about the reproduction of
the eel, some of them beirjg wildly absurd, such as their be-
ing hatched by fresh water mussels, or that the lampiey was
the female and the bo called silver eel the male, etc. Tbe fact
is that the lamprey, miscalled "lamper eel,' is a form of life
lower than that of the true fishes, to which the eel beloDgs, and
is a vertebrate with a cartilaginous skeleton instead of a bony
one, has its skull imperfectly developed, and has no
lower jaw. Superficially it appears like an eel, but is not
nearly related to it. Mr. Mather has done a service with his
microscope in computing the eggs in a fish about whose
breeding babits the majority of fishermen are in doubt."

Fecundity.

According to naturalists, a Bcorpion will produce 65 young,
a common fly will lay 144 eggs, a leech 150, and a spider 170.
A hydrachna produces 600 eggs, and a frog 1,100. A female
moth will produce 1,100 eggs, aoda tortoise 1,000. A gall
insect has laid 50,000, a shrimp, 6,000, and 10 000 have been
found in the ovary of an ascaris. One naturalist found more
than 12,000 eggs in a lobster, and another more than 21,000.
An insect very similar to an ant {Mutilla) has produced 80,-
000 eggs in a single day, Leuwenhoeok seems to com-
pute 4,000,000 as the crab's share. Many fishes produce an
incredible number of eggs. More than 36,000 have been
counted in a herring, 3S,000 in a smelt. 1,000,000 in a sole,
1,130,000 in a roach, 3,000.000. in a Bturgeon, 342,000 in a
oarp, 383,000 in a tench, 546,000 in a mackerel, 992,000 in a
perch, and 1,350,000 in a flounder. But of all the fishes
hitherto discovered, the 3od seems to be the moBt prolific.
One naturalist computes that this tish produces more than
3,686,000 eggs, and another aa many as 9,444,000. A rough
calculation shows that, were one per cent of the eggs of tbe
salmon to result in full grown fish, and were they and their
progeny to continue to increase in the same ratio, they would
in about sixty years amount in bulk to many times the size
of the earth. Nor is the salmon the most prolific species
In a yellow perch weighing 3i ounces have been counted
9943 eggs and in a smelt ten inches and a half in length,
25,141. An interesting experiment was made in Sweden in
1761, by Charles F. Lund. He obtained from fifty female
breams 3,100,000 young, from 100 female perch 3,215,000
young, and from 100 female mullets 4,000,000 young. —

The NepiKon Trout.

This name is also spelled Nipigon and Neepigon, but Nepi-
gon is the usual form, that being the name of the station near
the river and on the Canadian Pacific Railway 65 miles east
of Port Arthur. The river, the lake it flows from and the
bay it flows into are named alike. The lake lies northwest of
Lake Superior, and was surveyed by Prof Bell in 1868, who
considers it the most beautiful of all the great lakes. It con-
tains a great many islands from two to fifteen miles long, the
water being clear and oold. The lake is the sixth and last
in the chain of Great Lakes, being about as large a3 Lake
Ontario, having a coast line of 500 miles. It is nearly 75
miles long from north to south, and 50 miles wide, with deep
bays. Some 16 rivers enter it, one the Kabitotiquaik, has 30
miles averaging 15 feet deep for the first four miles.

At the head of the lake the Hudson's Bay Co. have had a
fur poet for about a century, as it is a rich fur country. The
country bears a variety of timber, and the mineral wealth is
varied and great, while extensive tracts of cnltivatable soil
exist.

Another member then described how once, when lunching
in a windy spot, he stuck a fly on gut into a bit of cake to
anchor it and mark the spot, and then inadvertently ate the
bit of cake! It was agreed his story took the cake for that
evening.

Piscatorial Scotoh professor, to piscatorial minister, whose
guest he is, and who has a fine stream in front of his manse;
' Dae ye never feel tempted, when ye Bee a fine wimple on the
burn there on a Sunday morniDg, just to go and ha'e a bit
quiet throw?" Piscatorial minister: "No, I never feel
tempted; I juBt gang."

At the Flyfishera' Club the other night the question arose
as to what would be the effect of accidentally swallowing a
fly on gut or on an eyed hook; and one member related how
be had placed a book on gut, when barbel fishing in tbe
Thames, in a glass tnmbler; that several of the party had
sundry glasses of beer out of the glass, and that they each
expect to get a bite inside Borne day, or find the point coming
out of their great toe.

The Buffalo Echo advises its readers to try as far as lies
in their power to chock the wanton destruction of trout that
is goiug on daily daring the irrigating season. It is no mere
Bentiment that prompts the thinking person to seek to per-
petuate this species of fish which makes doubly attractive
the mountain regions of the west. There is money in it.
Our trout streams in themselves form oneof the most tempt-
ing attractions to the summer tourist, and the tourist is a
money-spender.

"Mary," said one fair creature to another, "is your hue
band a fisherman?" "Yes, my dearjwhy do you ask?" "Do
you believe him when he tells you he has been fishing?"
"Why, certainly, my dear — sometimes." "Yes, I am 6ure of
H." "But he brought no fish home with him." "Now that
is why 1 am bo sure he went, for when he haB not been he
invariably buys a couple of fish at the fishmonger's, aud
tells me they are trout; he buys all kinds of fish, and thinks
I don't know the difference. The varieties of tront he has
brought home within the past twelve months are astonishing;
I know my business too well to say anything."

The Montana Live Stock Journal Bensibly says: and the
remarks are applicable to all stateB: "The game and fiBh laws
of the state, we believe, are being violated almost daily; but
we have been unable to procure any testimony whereby a
conviction could be made." Snch is the report of the grand
jury of Cascade county. The same may be said of every
oounty in th9 state. The people will come to know when it
is too late the value of the fish in our streams. The govern-
ment would stock our streams with fish, but what is the use
when men will violate the law for the preservation of the
fish, and will not screen tbe heads of tbeir irrigation ditches
to keep out the young fish.

Even if it cannot be said of "Uncle Bob" Liddle at 538
Washington street, City, as it is sometimes said of "Pike",
the old time Yosemite guide that he "packed" the dirt to
make them hills", it cmstiil be said that he has been longer
io the fishing tackle trade than anyone doing business in
San Francisco. Beginning modestly with the rude appli-
ances necessary for bay fishing in pioneer days he has gone
along through tbirtj-Beven years of trade, always the same
accommodating, painstaking good man, popular with all
sportsmen and in demand whenever tbe guild meets either to
discuss some public measure or to while away an hour in
social relaxation. Mr. Liddle's store and stock are an epi-
tome of the inventions in guns and tackle of all the years
since bis name was first painted upon tbe sign which he still
uses. Assisted at present by his energetic and popular son
George, tbe firm has taken new lease of life and is rapidly
reaching out for preeminence in many lines particularly in
the handling of standard fishing tackle.

Just as men differ in tastes, so it seems different firms
drift into peculiarities and build up specialities which mark
them distinctively. Beginning perhaps with a small stock
and finding their goods in a particular line in demand, bus-
iness grows until it is known of all men that certain things
can be had at certain places; as for instance when one fan-
cies the exquisite patterns in trout flies of Mr. Chas. F. Or-
vis, he at once wends bis way to tbe establishment of that
moBt genial of dealers, Mr. E T. Allen at 416 Market street,
City, where Mr. Skinner seems to find real pleasure in show-
ing and praising not only the Orvis flies but also the thous-
and and one other useful and beautiful creations of the man-
ufacturers represented by Mr. Allen. Such for instance as
the Abalone spoons, and the Alloock tackle. One may visit
Mr. Allen's and consume almost any amount of time in
studying his stock, and go away without feeling embarrassed
because-of lack of desire to purchase immediately. Such a
policy cannot but make for tbe permanent prosperity of the
firm. .

* mong the questions seemingly never to be answered con-
clusively is that from the angler who bobs up serenely sea-
son after season, to know what flies he shall take in order to
insure success. A hundred times in these columns sugges-
tions have been offered, embodying the experience of
persons whose success is warrant for reliance upon their
judgment. The day has long since gone by when it could
be said that any one fly could invariably be relied upon, but
jt is nevertheless true that beyond a few colors there is little
need to load the fly book. An inspection of the patterns and
colors offered by that leading firm in fine tackle, Clabroogh,
Golcher & Co., at 630 Montgomery street, City, and consulta-
tion with the members of the firm will enable any novice to
prepare himself perfectly for sport in any of the waters of
the coast, or for that matter in any waters where trout and
salmon abound. To the wibo old hand whose judgment has
been ripened by years of toilsome study on the streams, it
may be suggested that in the Btore mentioned maybe found
the longest and finest of gut, either drawn or undrawn, the
most perfect of rods of all actions, the lightest and most
workmanlike of reels aud a varied assortment of the other
necessaries which go to complete the outfit of him who would
go fishing healthfully and comfortably.

Anglers who draw their inspiration from the dailies may
have settled into the belief that the trout fishing during the
summer months will not be good, but those who kDow the
peculiarities of the fiBh and whose experience extends over
more than a very few seasons, are persuaded that the season
oi '90 will be one of the very best known for many years.
In ordinary years those rather selfish individuals who go
abont thecouu'ry using salmon roe, shrimp, worms, and fleas
and other baits, and whose greatest pleasore it is to sit beside
roily pools and bottom fish during the earlier weeks of the
eeason, lind it possible to clear the streams of about all the
good fish which they contain, bat this season the individuals
mentioced have not been "in it" for the reason that the
usually heavy rains have kept all tbe Btreams at flood height
and all of the flsh so glutted with natural food sb to make
them indifferent to the most skillfully baited hook. Even
Bnch streams as the Sonoma, the Puriesime, the Lagnnitas

and the others which ran but a short course before emptying
into the salt water, have been practicably unfordable and an-
finiehable; they are jaat now rnnning at fair fishing height,
and as the days are at hand when the vacations of business
men are permitted, it will cheer all those who love to angle
to know that there is a good store of fish finning abont
in all waters, ready to ri^e to any fit tackle and to fight the
good fight which every trout makes, to the great joy of him
who fishes legitimately.

« ■

The army of anglers who, prefer the ease of lake fishing
at Crystal Springs, for bass, may find many useful hints in
these lines from an exchange which says:

Beep holes, large or small, under the shadow of rocks,
trees or high banks, are the favorite retreats of black bags.
The approach must be made cautiously, for you might as
well try t j coax a robin to eat your hand as to persuade a
black bpss to take your bait if he gets a Bight of you. He is
the most conning, prudent and suspicious fish that lives, ex-
cepting the trout.

Make your cast quietly, and keep as far as possible from
the spot where the bait is to be thrown. Then let the min-
now dart about, the crab squirm, the hellgramite wriggle,
the frog swim, or the grasshopper kick, as the case may be.
Unless the bass is unusually hungry, he will rather deliberate
abont taking the bait. You may have to wait awhile, but be
patient. The bass is a food searcher, and is constantly mov-
ing about.

The first warning of a bite will be a slow moving away of
the line. Let it move. The bass on seizing his prey, does
not immediately swallow it. He swims a short distance be-
fore beginning that operation. Therefore, keep your line
alack and let your victim carry it along 10 or 20 feet. Then
give a short, sharp pull. But do not be in a hurry. A
lively battle is in store, which will require coolness, skill and
patience. The bass will fight for his life, he will display as-
tonishing strength, strategy and pluck If yon attempt to
haul him in suddenly, something will break and your capture
will escape. Therefore, be firm, but gentle. Temper deter-
mination with deliberation. Let your nerves 1 e of steel, al-
beit sensitive as a magnetio needle. Watch the moois of
your fish. He will rush this way and that, he will pull like
a draft horse, he will alternately attempt to escape by main
strength and try to fool you. You must hunicr him, without
letting him get an advantage

The battle will be an exciting one. The spring of your
light elastic rod will tell terribly on the strength and endur-
ance of the noble fellow who frantically endeavors to escape,
bnt he will not give up until completely exhausted. To tire
him out will take from five to ten minutes, possibly longer.
When he finally surrenders, draw him toward you and get
him on land as quickly as possible, for yon can never be sure
that he has not a final "flop" in reservfl. When the victory is
won you will have an exhilarating sense of triumph, and will
be eager for another fray.

THE GUN,

Fine Rifle Shooting.

A team match was shot at Shell Mound on Saturday after-
noon last between Col. J. H. Dickinson and Officer P. D.
Linville on one side and Col. Sam E. Beaver and Lieut. L. B.
Towusend on the other. The conditions were forty shots
per man, 200 yards, off hand, any military rifle, for a dinner.

The weather was most disadvantageous, a belt of thick fog
blowing across the range, and for a large portion of the time
quite obscuring the target. That such fine scoring Bhould
have been done reflects the highest credit upon the skill of
the participants.

It was particularly gratifying to note that Col. Dickinson,
who is in active command of a regiment of militia, could not
only talk rifle-shooting, but oould also take his gun and
demonstrate his ability on the range.

The gusty wind and a little carelessness in leveling his
eights, gave Lieut. Townsend two 3's in his final score, just
when be was good for 4's at least, and lost him the match.

Col. Beaver and Mr. Linville shot as usual, in sure style.
The scoring was done by H. H. Briggs. The scores were:

The Portland Oregonian gives this "line" on Mongolian
pheasants:

"Quite a number of persons in this city and East Portland
have secured a lot of the eggs of the Mongolian pheasant
from parties in the country, paying at the rate of about 10
cents each for them, and have hens sitting on them. The
success of Mr. Ferry Henshaw in raising pheasants last year
has led others to try their luck, but it is safe to say that
although the chicks are hardy, there will be more hatched
than will be raised. Mr. Henshaw has two pair of pheasants
and the hens have produced forty-six eggs and show no signs
of wanting to sit. He placed nineteen under a hen and
seventeen of tbem are now hatched and the chichens are
hammering away at the shells of the other two. He says
the coceb are such fighters that no pooltry can be kept in
,the same yard with them. They knockout any ordinary
chicken wjthout half trying ;'

Trap at Novato.

A bulls-head breakfast, given by Barney Galindo at Novato,
was the motive which induced several shot-gun enthusiasts
to go there on May 25th. Mr. Galindo kindly placed his
home and grounds at the disposal of the particular little party
mentioned. Officer P. D. Linville sent over a barrel of blue
rock targets and a trap, and Mr. William Schreiber contrib-
uted a Macomber trap and a supply of the "tin pigeons."
The members of the party were Col. S. E. Beaver, William
Schreiber, William Dormer, James Sanderson, P. D. Linville,
Mr. C. McCrea and this reporter.

Of such a crowd, little could be expected except what they
chanced to wish to do, and as the day was warm, all of them
were especially eccentric. After reaching Galindo 'b, the traps
were soon set, and match shooting began. Mr. Schreiber
had never shot over traps, but put his field skill into use.

It was a "find and trap" match, each trapping for the
others. Pretty sood the arm of the blue rock trap broke, and
the birds were then thrown by hand with most extraordinary
results. Some went straight up, others barely skimming the
grass, others in coming, and still others to any and every
quarter of the compass.

About noon Senator F. C. DeLoog drove by, and was
invited to take a hand, which he did most effectively. The
regular scores of the teams were at 30 blue rocks per man,
as follows :

Selby Standard Medal Match.

A match for the Selby medal, emblematic of the champion-
ship of Central California, at artificial targets, was shot at
Alameda Point on May 25th. Mr. X. H. Cadwallader of San
Jose being the challenger, and Mr. C. H. Cate of this city the
then holder. Sixteen men entered, and a lively day's sport
resulted, the medal being won by Mr. Cadwallader, 30 per
cent, of the entrance money by Col. S. I. "Harvey," 20 per
cent, by Mr. F. Parks, and 10 per cent, being divided by
Messrs. C. H. Cate, Frank E. Coykendall and H. C. Golcher.

The shot was at thirty single blue rocks and ten pairs,
American Association rules. Mr. Cadwallader was at once
challenged by Mr. C. H. Cate, and the medal will be again
shot for at Oakland Point to-morrow, beginning at 10 o'clock
a. m. The matoh is open to all residents of Central Cali-
fornia. Entrance $5. The scores were:

A Correction.

Editor Breeder asd Sportsman. — The next shoot for
the Selby Live Bird Trophy comes off on Sunday Jane 8th,
instead of the 7th. Please correct in next issue, as more
entries will be made if it is understood that the contest takes
place on Sunday. C. B. S.

Tbe Paci6c Gun Club of Sacramento will entertain the
State Sportsman's Association in October at tbe annual
meeting.

Harvey McMnrchy, agent for the L.C.Smith gun, is in
the city getting rested after his long trip with Col. Dimick.
Incidentally, he is attending to his orders for tbe Fall trade,
and is doing a tine business,

Blue Rock Club.

May 24th was the regular day of tbe club, and ten mem-
bers met at Oakland Trotting Park to shoot blue rook tar-
gets.

President J.O.Cadman set a good example to his merry men,
making the score 20 out of 25. Seventeen was the next
figure reached, four of the best men of the club getting into
that hole, including the Secretary, Mr. C B. Stone, to whom
we are indebted for these scores. Mr. Sam. Golcher broke
ten in nice style for a novice. He comes of shooting stock,
already has acquired a graceful, easy position at the traps,
and will soon be noted among the winners. The scores
were made at 15 Bingles and 5 pairs of blue rock targets,
American Association rules, and follows:

A Californlan Opinion.

Mr. Edwin Goodall of this city has been going up and
down through the earth Bight-seeing for some monthB, and
as he uses his eyes to see things as they are, his observa-
tions have great value. Last week he sent ub tbe following
note, dated at Nice, France, May 3rd., abnnt some shooting
done near Cairo in Egypt by Prince Albert Victor, son of the
Prince of Wales.

"On the following day the Boyal party drove eight miles to
the Mena Hotel, and were entertained at luncheon and din-
ner by Mr. aDd Mrs. Locke-King. The after-noon was occu-
pied by a ride to the Pyramids of Saknara, where the
"Tombs of the Sacred BuIIb" gave shelter from an exagger-
ated form of Scotch mist which prevailed more or less till
BunBet, and though wet jackets instead of dusty ones were
the order of the day, it was pronounced by all the party to
be rather an agreeable change. When the Prince and Sir
Evelyn Baring started for the return journey to Cairo, about
midnight, the road from the hotel was lined with a double
row of Sheikhs, all dressed in their long white gowns and
each holding a lantern, a novel, picturesque, but rather
ghostly looking spectacle.

The next day a qnail shoot on a large scale took place, and
nine guns produced nearly five hundred birds, to which
total His Royal Highness contributed no less than one hun-
dred and four, and as the fubsy little quail is no respecter of
persons, and offers no royal road for his own destruction,
England's future King must have had his eye and bf»nd in
unigon to some purpose. A small dinner at Sir Francis
Grenfell's and a small reception afterwards were a pleasant
wind up to perhaps the most successful day's sport ever
known in the neighborhood, and the cuisine, illuminations
and general arrangements of the evening were worthy even
of Lady Grenfell's well known and unusual ability for enter*
busing.

Two or three days visiting museums, bazaars, palaces and
barracks (which to ordinary mortals would be considered
absolute toil, but is looked upon as comparative rest for tbe
limbs of Royalty), and then another "contest" with the quail
is organized; but energy on behalf of dufy or pleasure, or a
combination of the two is not always rewarded according to
mortals' desire, and after performing many duties for the
public good UDder a broiling sun, our Royal guest had par-
tially to succumb when anticipated pleasure was within his
grasp, for though he commenced shooting with the other
sportsmen, a headache (which most travelers to tbe East be-
come, some time or other, acquainted with) compelled rest in
the tent for most of the day, and though at night be went
bravely through a dinner at General Sir James Dormer's,
when a large reception commenced, afterwards he was wisely
persuaded by Sir Evelyn Baring fwith whom he has been
staying for the week) to retire and prepare himself for his
early departure the next morning, and though he still looked
jaded and suffering, when the special left for Alexandria a
short time on H. M. S. Scout and a breath of sea air Beemed
to do him the good that everyone in Cairo wished might be
the case."

Mr. Goodall adds: "Unless the Prince is an extra good
shot the birds must have been pretty thick. I suppose he
would not 'ground sluice' them. One hundred and four in
one outing would be a big bag for the best shot in the best
fields of California."

Captain Brewer offers $10,000 to ?4,000, he to use a twelve
bore and any other man on the coast a ten. Long odds it
seems for a 100 bird match.

C. W. Long, of Eureka, Humboldt Co., who is always
awake to the beat interests of his city and county, is making
an effort to have tbe Mongolian pheasant introduced and
propagated there. He is trying to procure a brace of tbe
birda from Oregon, where they have become so plentiful, but
owing to the stringency of laws and other causes he has not
yet been able to Beoure them. Hie son, however, promises
him some specimens as soon as they can be obtained. While
speaking of game why not mention tbe wild turkey? An
effort is being made now to introduce tbe wild turkey west of
tbe Sierras, and 100 of tbe birds have been contracted for.
May not Humboldt get a few wild turkeyp, the noblest game
bird of all, to stock our mountain oak orchards, and feed
upon our grasshoppers and other ioeects? "We believe that
the wild turkey is just the game for our nionntaiue. What
say our sportsmen?

[The Humboldt Times does well when it gives Bpaoe to
such spirited appeals as that excerpted. Just what the value
of the Mongolian pheasant is, dees not yet appear but the
preponderance of evidence is against its quality as a game-
bird. The Japanese or Copper pheasant is, however, free
from the objectionable qualities of the other bird, and is in
every way desirable if it can be acclimated. If any one of
onr readers who is well acquainted with Humboldt County,
and who also knows the habits and habitat of the wild
turkey, can tell us what prospects are for its successful in*
troduotion to that section, we shall be grateful.— Ed.]

California Wing Shootipg Club.
The May meeting beto on Sunday last at Oakland Trotting
Park waB the largest of the season, both in number of shoot-
ers and of spectators. The day was fit and the birds good.
bnt many of the scores were absurdly poor, notably tnose
of Dr. Slade, Mr. Will DeVaulI, Mr. Heeth and Mr. Lewis,
Mr. 0. J. Haas shot in perfect style and with first rate judg-
ment, as did a guest, Mr. "Johns". Four members scored
eleven each, and in the shoot oft Mr. Sohroeder won seoond
medal and Mr. Eobinson third. Mr. Eobert Liadle did
some eitraordiniry work with the second barrel, repeatedly
killing at fifty to sixty yards. The scores were:

Which Is The Most Effective Calibre?

The general rule seems to be that heavy muscular men
prefer the 10-bore, while others of lighter build choose the
12-bore, bnt have any very exhaustive experiments been
undertaken to settle the value of Nos. 7, 7-trap, 8 and 8-trap
out ol 10 and 12-bore guns at all ranges from 25 to 60 yards
says a writer in Shooting and Fishing. If so the results are
not generally known. The published records of European
experiments do not help us much, aB they were made with
larger shot than we use and more of it into the bargain. At
Hnrlingham, Oercle des Patineurs and Monte Carto, unlees
I am incnrrectly informed, 1J ounces of shot is allowed and
no bigger bore than 12 sanctioned. I also believe that nine-
tenths of the winners avail themselves of the privilege and
use the full 1J ounces No. 5 or 6 (218 and 270 pellets respec-
tively to the ounce), driven by 3£ to 4 dramB powder. If
this practice is right, ours is wrong. Probably one of the
reasons that made the American Shooting Association fix
such limits was that 12-bore guns, as a rule, cannot do as
well in the way of pattern and penetration combined with
] I ounoes as they can with \} ounces when they are shootiDg
No. 7 trap or smaller, bat perhaps if the 12-bores were per-
mitted to U8e more shot they might find a size or two larger
a distinct advantage.

It would appear preferable to limit the 12-bores to 1£
ounces and the 10s to lh ounces, as then the best shooting
could undoubtedly be brought out of any particular gun. It
is my conviction that if properly bored to carry soch loads,
a 12-bore can shoot 1^ ounces and 3£ drams, and a 10 bore
If ounces and 4]- drams to advantage, I also believe that
there is just three yards difference between the two, and that
at present the 10-bore has a trifle the best of the odds — sup-
posing the man behind the butt-plate powerful enough to do
it justice. As many men are not so built it is, if I am correct
in my assumption, a premium in favor of muscle. I may
possibly be wrong, and there 1b the other side to be heard
from, and all should allow there is ample room for experi-
menting.

Many live-bird shots believe that they cannot obtain pene-
tration enough by UBing more than 1| ounces shot— this, I
thiok, is an entire mistake — additional penetration can better
be got by using larger shot. Suppose, for instance; one man
to be using 1-& ounces No. 7 (317 pellets) and another loading
with 1J ounces No. 6(274 pellets), the latter would, accord-
ing to my judgment, have by all odds the most killing load.
1£ ounceB No: 7 would mean increased recoil and less pene-
tration, and H ounces No. 6 rather a sparse pattern, bnt 1£
ounces No. 6 should prove to be both thick enough and
strong enough.

At inanimate targets of course mncb less penetration is
necessary, the main point being to get a large and well-filled
killing circle. In conclusion, what is gained by restricting
us to sach small loads of shot?

Public Hunting

and Fishing and Private
Leases.

Within a few years, protests have been becoming more and
more frequent against the custom of leasing the fishing and
shooting privileges on various tracts of lands. Many of the
disgruntled ones argue that it is an injustice to those who
are thus deprived of their fishing and shooting. It would
not be worth while to discuss this subject here were it not
that these protesters have maoy followers. I think followers
a correct designation, inasmuch as I cannot see after their
arguments are carefully analyzed, that they have claims to
other consideration. It is an undeniable right, moral and
legal, that every man can use his property as he chooses, al-
ways providing he does not injure his neighbors most sensi-
bly says the Week's Sport. Is it not acting upon this theory
that the man with the means and the desire leases certain
privileges on the property of one who is willing to part with
it? True, he deprives some one, perhaps, from enjoyiDg a
like privilege on the leased property, but that is a resultant
of ownership always, and, in fact, ownership is only valua-
ble from the right of exclusion, It would be quite a* sensi-
ble for one to objeot and denounce another who with more
leisure was able to spend greater time in search of sport in
the woods, or because possessing more means who could par-
chase grouse and venison at a price beyond their reach.
That those who possess leisure and wealth shall enjoy more
luxury than others with less, is an incident of our social
condition from which there is no escape, and applies equally
to fishing and hunting.

There is one point in their objections that, as regardB fish-
ing, is well taken in theory and partly in praotice, namely,

the State's supplying its hatcheries fry to stock what may be
termed private waters. These hatcheries are maintained at
publio expense, and their produot should go only into public
streams, where all have an equal right, if theory is carried out.
Public streams, are however, limited. Legally they are only
those in which the tide ebbB and flows. To confine distribu-
tion of the slate's fry to these waters would leave many quasi
public waters without attention. What seems just, however,
is that in large rivers or streams, where exclusive leasing or
control is practically impossible, and the public is likely to
have an undisputed privilege, the State should distribute the
fry. This also, may apply to the large lakes to which the
public have access. In the smaller brooks and ponds, how-
ever, that are exclusively controlled, the lessees or owners, if
they exclude the public, should purchase the fry. This will
be the practical outcome of the present issue regarding fishing
contracts. We shall find the State maintaining hatcheries to
supply the necessary fry for the public waters, and private
enterprise supplying private streams and ponds.

It is not calculated to engender good fellowship to be sud-
denly deprived of the privilege of fishing and Bhooting on
ground that you have long been in the habit of frequenting,
and the present outburst is neither novel nor unprecedented
with anglers and hunters. Many cases are printed in the
law reports of both English and American courts, where
those that have fished in a stream for "time almost beyond
the memory of man," and been finally ejected, have sought
with injured feelings to establish unsuccessfully their cause
in the courts. The right to catch and oarry away fish in un-
navigable waters — that is, in those rivers beyond tidal waters
— is not an eaBement, but a profit a pendre, that proof of
custom will not sustain.

Dove Bhooting begins on June 1st, with prospects for poor
sport, beoause of the late rains, which have chilled and
destroyed many hatchings both of doves and quail.

Matches between Mr. Martinez Chick of San Diego, and
Capt. Brewer, will be shot at the Haight Street ball ground,
on Sunday June 1st., Tuesday Jnne 3rd., and Friday June
6th. Mr. George Carroll makes the match for Mr. Chick,
the latter receiving a stipulated sum, win or lose, said sum
being juBt fair recompense for the lime, trouble and expense
incident to practice, the trip and the time consumed. The
matches are for $250 a side each, at 100 live birds per man,
each match, London Gun Club rules to govern. It is prob-
able Mr. Ed Fay will referee, he being agreeable to Capt.
Brewer. The birdB for the first match are to be furnished
by Capt Brewer, and the match will begin at about three
o'clock, after the ball game, the grounds being cleared, and
a seperate entrance fee of 50 cents being charged. Mr. Law-
rence, backer of Capt. Brewer, states that the whole of the
gate less expenses, goes to the winner. We are told
by Mr. Chick that he will shoot to win, and see no reason to
donbt his intention to do ao. Under the governing rules,
the only limitations are upon weight of gun, not to exceed
eight pounds, bore 12, shot load not to exceed 1£ ounces,
any position, ground trap.

The Pacific Coast Spaniel Club.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Permit me to inform
you that a club has been formed under the above caption.
The officers of the club are as follows; President, Dr. A. C.
Davenport, Stockton; Vice-PreBident, Jas. Kerlin, Oakland;
Secretary and Treasurer, H. P. Kennie, Oakland; Executive
Committee, Joseph B. McVay, San Francisco; George W.
Kennie, San Francisco; F. W. Howlett, Oakland; Dr. Da-
venport, Stockton; H. P. Kennie, Oakland. H. H. Briggs,
Kennel Editor Breeder and Sportsman, San Francisco, was
eleoted an honorary member of the club and the Secretary
instructed to notify Mr. Briggs of the fact.

The memberB of the club have decided to publish a paper
to be called The Spaniel Fancier, a monthly, solely in the in-
terest of Cocker, Field, and other standard bred spaniels.
H. P. Kennie, Oakland, has been selected editor and man-
ager, and Dr. Davenport oi Stockton associate editor. Span-
iel fanciers are requested to at once join the club.

May 27, 1890. H. P. Kennie. Seoretary,

37 Sixth street, Oakland, Cal.

[Election to the elub is gratefully acknowledged. It ap-
pears unwise for the club to issue a speoial publication. It
is welcome to all needed space in this journal, and can reach
manyfold more readers by utilizing the Breeder and Sports-
man.— Ed.]

Occidental Club Draw-

The draw for yesterdays meeting of the Club at Newark*
was made on Tuesday evening at 21 Kearney Street. After
the draw the Club was invited by Secretary J. F. Carrolli
to a spread at the Delmonico on O'Farrell street. Sixteen
men were at table, President Gregory at one end aDd Mr.
Carroll at the other. The gueBtB were such wellknown eonr-
sers aB Caryl C. Wilkinson, HeDry WormingtoD, Dootor
Sharkey. Mr. J. R. Dickson, Mr. Pat Lyman, Mr. Gallagher,
Mr. F. P. Callundan, Mr. Thos. J. O'Keeffe, Mr. S. L. Ab-
bot Jr. and Mr. H. Boyd. After demolishing the dainty vi-
ands together with certain ohoice vintages, a lot of littlt
■peeches were made, most of them by Mr. O'Keeffe, who
also warbled a few warbles about Cruiskeen Lawn and other
foreign inventions. Mr. Carroll was particularly felicitous
in his remarks about the earlier history of the Club, and in
what he said as to its future he became really eloquent.

Mr. O'Keefe entered upon a psychological disguisition that
Boon carried his hearers into deep water, from which they
were rescued by the orator who quit talking to pour forth
his welling emotions in unique songs. Considerable money
was booked between members about the meeting of yester-
day. The dinner initiated a series of similar entertainments
to occur after each draw. After expressions of thanks to Mr. I
Carroll and a little mild chaff between the guests, the party jjj
broke up just in time to get the last cars for home.

A full report of yesterdays coursing is necessarily deferred jl:
untii the next issue.

Several good specimens of cocker spaniels have lately jl
been brought to this state, and this breed bids fair to be- I
come very popular.

Dr. Davenport, owner of the Echo Cocker Kennel, offers I-
throngh the advertising columns, some fine Cocker puppies 1
of unexceptionable breeding, at prices that are most reason- I
able.

Mr.fi. P. Kennie, whose advertisement of Cocker Spaniels
appears in another column, now has two nice dog puppies
for sale, one liver and one black . They can be seen at No.
37 Sixth St., Oak St. Station, Oakland. Mr. Kennie,s stock
is all that it should be.

Mr. S. G. Wilder left last week for his home at Honolulu*
He left his pointer Roberta (Robert le Diable — Young Beolak
with Mr. M. D. Walter at Gait to be bred to Mr. A. B. Sperry"
Cjunt Dick. The cross should prove a good one. Roberts
will be sent to the islands aB soon as in wbelp.

Dr. A. C. Davenport, of Stockton, has lost by death his
cocker spaniel, Red Robin. This was the only dog puppy
out of that well known prize winner Woodstock Belle, sired
by Giffee, owned in California, and the loss is regretted by
all spaniel lovers.

Mrs. Folger, of 1308 Jackton Street, Oakland, was unfor-
tunate enough to have a nice little black and tan cocker pup.
py stolen from her yard a few days ago. The puppy waa
sired byJH. P. Kennies "Giffee", and was a beauty. Dog
thieves are very numerous in the vicinity of Oakland just
now.

A meeting of the Board of Governors of the Eastern Field
Trials Club was held, on May 13th, at the office of Mr. F. R.
Hitchcock, 44 Broadway, New York: A communication was
read from Mr. F. I. Stone, Chattanooga, Tenn., in which he
accepted the invitation of the club to judge at the
next field trials. The Secretary was instructed to communi-
cate with Mr. H. B. Duryea and Col. A. Merriman with tbe
views of securing their services as judges at the November
trials. It was announced that the Derby, which closed May
1st, has eighty-four entries, six of which were made from
England, by Mr. Heywood-Lonsdale. These are composed
of three pointers and three setters. This large Derby entry
*s an exoesB of twenty-three over that of last year. Messrs
Geo. W. Ewing, Fort Wayne, Ind.. and W. Hay Bockes,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y. were eleoted members.

Mr. Geo. T. Allender, well known as a trainer of hunting
dogs baB had unusual Buccess at the Pacifio Coast Field
Trials as the following table of winnings will show. In '85
he won first in the Derby with Tom Pinch and tirst in the
All-Aged with Mountain Boy both pointers. In 'S(j, he won
first in the Derby with Shot ira English setter and second
with Climax a pointer. Iu the All-Aged of^tbat year he won
second with Lassie and third with Tom Pinch, both point-
ers.

No trial was held in '87, the date having been postponed to
January '88, when Mr. Allender won eeoond in the Derby
with the pointer Point and first io the All Aged with Point.
In '89 he won first and third in tbe Derby with Old Blaok
Joe and Nestor respectively, both pointers. In the All-Aged
he won first with Old Black Joe. In '90 he won first in the
Derby with tbe English setter Salina aud second in the AH*
Aged Stake with Patti Croxteth T. Some of the wins wer*
without much competition but so many were made in ho
company as to stamp Mr. Allender a skillful handler.

Grim's Gossip.

CbeatiDg on the turf is as bad and as dishonorable as
cheating in the counting-room.

On Saturday, the 31>t, there will be several trotting and
paoing races at the Bay Distriot track.

| From oar exchanges we learn that glanders is quite preva-
lent in the southern portion of the State.

Arab 2:15 will be seen once more on the Eastern tracks.
Mr. Golden will have him in charge this seaBon.

I J. P. Eodehaver, of Petaluma, has left his fine horses for
the time being, and gone on a trip to Oregon and Washing-

| ton.

I Mr. Valensin has been very ill for almo?t two weeks, but
at last accounts he was improving as fast as his friends
could wiBh.

Jimmy GoUsmith has Simmocoloo weU in hand. and already
the chestnut colt is showing miles in 2:26 and 2:2S. If all
I right later in the season his present record of 2;29^ should
! be lowered.

There is a quartet of colorpd jockeys whose mounts seldom
go to the poBt without baviDg received substantial support.
! They are Hamilton, Barney Anderson and Jones, and for
; good work in the saddle and integrity they are hard to beat.

Oo. Jane 3rd Terre Haute will start the ball rolling for the
trotting contingent, aod the California horses will have a
ohance to show what tliey can do. Qttite a number of them
are entered for the meeting and I hope to have a good account
of them.

The Governor has appointed the following Directors of
District Agricultural Associations: E S. Denn;son, Alameda
County, District No. 1, vice Samuel Gamble, resigned; J. H.
Tennant and R. G. Daan, of Contra Co3ta County, District
No. 23, vice themselves, terms expired.

A few weeks ago, Sid Sperry of Petaluma, cnme to San
Francisco with a couple of fast trotting horses, which he of-
fered for sale cheap. One of them has been sold to a gentle-
man from Australia for $1,250. The one sold was L°lia by
Rustic, dam by Eclipse and she could trot fnll miles better
than 2:27.

Dr. Latham his added another brood mare to his already
large list, having purohased from L. D. Wakefield of San
Joaquin Valley, the tbree-y ear-old ch. f. Princess Daxter, by
Dexter Prince 11363 dam by Mambrioo Wilkes 6083' 2nd.
dam by David Hill 857, 3rd dam by Jack HawkinB. This
handsome tiily will be bred to Director 2:17.

Ex-Senator J. G. Fair has lately had a large barn and sta-
ble combined, erected at the Kiight's Ferry Farm It is
100x40. feet, and contains ten box stalls 16x20 each, in
addition to which are the harness room, office and trainers'
apartments. A mile track has also been laid out, and
Mr. Sullivan is exercising the trotters daily.

The sons of Alden Goldsmith bring honor to the name.
John A. GoUsmith is one of the star drivers of the Pacific
Coast. He trained and drove to his record Guy Wilkes 2:15J.
and Lillian Wilkes 2:17$ as a three-veir-old; Sable Wilkes
2:18 as a three yeir-old; Regal Wiikes2:20| as a two-year old
and Hazel Wilkes 2;20 as a four-year-old — Mirror and
Farmer.

The Dennison Bros of Sacramento have arrived at Port-
land with their string of thoroughbreds, including Dave
Douglas^, Hotspur, Prince's First, Mohawk and G. W.
The latter his been under the weatuer, and it i* doubtful
whether the Kvrle Daly colt will start at the City View Park
Meeting. Since the above was written, news of his death
have been received.

Before this paragraph reaches my readers, Mr. Valensin
will have a new superintendent at hi3 stock farm. On May
21st Chandler Quintan V. S , brother to Scott of (hat ilk,
started for California to assume the management of the Val*
ensin breeding establishment at Pleasanlon. '"Doc" Quin-
ton is well versed in all that appertains to the horse and
should prove a valuable man for the owner of Sidney.

If there was ever a breeder of horBes who purchased a
copy of "Horse-Breeding," by J. H. Sanders, that did not
think he got mors than his money's worth, we havs yet to
hear of him. It is the only work treating especially of the
mangement of stallions and brood mares during the breed-
ing season, and its thoroughly practical character especially
recommends it. . Send $2 to this office for a copy of it.

Jim Dnstin id kept hard at work at the Bav District Track,
having now a doz=m head of trotters that take his constant
attention. While there are many "green" ones, Rabe 2:24
is probably as far advanced as any of them. This gelding
will have a chance to show whit he can do this year, and as
Dastin has him already moving as fast as his record, there
is every reason to suppose that he will be able to race much
faster. Rabe is by Strader 673, dam Rose, by Bashaw, 50.

Mr Salisbury returned from his Eistern trip on Monday
night and at once began his arrangements to send the mare
Margaret S back east to compete in the Horseman's Stake
for four-year-olds. She will trot for this rich Stake at De-
troit between July 22ad and 25th, and not on Jaly 12th as
stated last w-aek. The owner feels confidant the Director
filly will give a good account of herself, and has every hope
of carrying away the first money.

It is not often that a race is lost bv a bite, but the large
crowd which witnessed the rnnningof the Chicago Derby on
Monday of this week, at the West Side Driving Park, were
treated to such a spectacle, says The Breeders Gazette. The
backers of filgrim were congratulating themselves on their
good jadgmenfe as the horses came down the stretch, but
just as the race was nearly won Pilgrim turned his head to
bite at Prince Fonso with whom he was ronniog neck and
Deck, thereby letting the latter push his nose under the
wire first.

The following are the declarations out of handicaps re-
ceived May 1st by the Washington Park Club:

The Oakwood Handicap— Terra Cotta, Santalene, Little
Mioch, Brandolette, Spokane, Somerset, Cynthia, Baliyhoe,
Newcastle and May O.

The Great Western Handicap — Carnot, Wheeler T, Sports-
man, Spokane, Don Jose and Longside.

Alfred S , 2:18, now in the Hickok Stable at Terre Haute
is down in all the authorities as dam uotraced. The dam
was always known in this State as Nora Marshall, but in
Poughkeepsie she was known as the Doty Mare, having been
bred and raised by a man called John Doty, who sold her to
the agent of J. C. Flood in 1874.

Near Eminence Ky. Monday night, the barn of H. G.
Moody containing nine head of valuable trotting stock, val-
ued at $10,000, was totally destroyed by tire. The most
noted of the animals lost was the tine station Senator, by
Volunteer, tirBt dam by Woburn, second dam Lady Sears,
dam of three in 2:30 list, by Seely's American Star, property
of T. J. Jackson. Ferryman, Md.; value $5,000. The barn
was fired by lightning.

A visitor to Terre Hau*e writes us that one of the grandest
individuals and oleanest gaited colts be ever saw is the two-
jear-old Sidney Faustioo, who holds the stallion yearling
record of the world, 2.35 He is here in the stable of John
Dickerson, who is very much pleased with him aud with his
promise for this year. Faustino is owned by Waters Stock
Farm, and it is expected thai he will next season be in the
stud at that farm. — HorBe Review.

Some time during the summer, two large brick stables will
ba erected at the Pleasanlon Stock Farm. One of these will
be for the exclusive use of Director 2:17, while the other will
be occupied by Direct 2:1SJ These buildings will lie some
distance apait, so that in case of tire, at least one of the
stables may be save I. This is a much needed improvement,
aod there should be similar buildings on all breeding farmg.
where there ore Valuable stallions.

At the annual meeting of the Thirteenth District Agricul-
tural Society held in Marysville last Saturday evening says
the Appeal, officers for the ensuing year were chosen as fol-
lows: W. T. Ellis Jr., President; C. A. Glid len, Vice-Presi-
dent; A. D. Cutt-a, Treasnrer; G R. Eckart, Secretary. It
was decided to hold the coming fair on September 2nd to 6th,
both days inclusive The necessary funds have been snb-
s 3ribed and it is expected that the event will be the most sue
cesBful held for years.

Messrs. Hutchinson & Fisber have completed a good
half-mile track on their Lone Oak Stock Farm, situated four
miles south of Hanford, says the Fresno Turf . They have at
the head of their stud the stallion Lone Oak, by Sam Purdy,
918, record 2: 20| (the sire of Charlie C, 2:24i), by George
M. Patchen, 31. They owna number of well-bred mares and
fillies, a few of which ara standard bred. A 2-year-old colt
by Anteeo is very promising, and shows every indication of
bMng a fast and reliable trotter.

Probably the largest owner of pacing horses in California
is John Garrity. he having no less than ten in his string, yet
even with this number he manages lo find time to look after
a trotter or two. Oae of the side wheel division that gives
evidence of great promise is an unnamed son of Sidney and
Humming Bird. For a green horse he move3 his miles like
an old hand at ihe business, and he should play a prominent
part in many of the pacing events to be determined this
Beason. Last Saturday he wa=: sent three easy miles, the
time of the best one being 2:24k

One of the questions agitating themiDds of many horse-
men is the following, how fast will Margaret S. have to trot
to win the Horseman's Stake in three straight heats? Very
few of them put the first heatatfaster than 2:18, although
there are a few that think she will have t& go in 2:16. Di-
rect has the record of the thrte fastest heats ever trotted by
a four year old in a race, but it is just possible that the great
mire will have to lower her stable companion's time, to win
the rich stake. I know she can do it.

' To stop the bleeding of a horse or other stock from a snag
or wound," says a correspondent of the National Stockman,
"make an application of dry manure, and it will stop the
bleeding of a wound every time. This information may be
worth a good de&l to many of your readers, so I send it. While
away from home recently a weanling colt of mine broke
through a barbed-wire fence and cut his fore leg badly. It
had been bleeding for eight hours when I got home. I took
dry horse manure and held it on the wound for one minute,
and the blood stopped flowing at once."

John Dillard, sou of Indian Chief, is the sire of more dams
of 2:30 performers than any other horse to date that never
sired a 2:30 trotter or pacer. He has thirteen grand daugh-
ters and grand-sons in the 2:30 list. Kentucky Clay 194,
ranks second with eleven; then Brignoli, Berkeley's Edwin
Forrest and Mohawk Cbief with seven each; Capt. Walker
and Gen. Taylor with six each; Stevens' Bald Chief, Eureka,
Hamlin Pa'chen, Octoroon, Stubtail, Toronto and Vermont
Hambletonian with five each. Strange to say, not one of
these stallions ever sired a 2:3U trotter, but their daughters,
nicked with o'.ber horses, have produced most beneficial re-
Bults.

Mr. John Judeon in writing to the Escondido Times says:
"There is no place in Southern California where the climate
is more even or better calculated for the perfect development
of horseflesh than Escondido, which has been proven by the
fine condition of the horses kept at the Escondido driving
park this last winter. It has been the remark of Eastern
horsemen that they never saw horses in better condition than
they were at the Escondido track the last winter, and this
to a great extent is owing to climate influences. I am satis-
fied that by keeping our traok in good order it can be made
the great winleriog track of California. '

The Cook Stock Farm has sold to Mr. B. C, Holly of Val-
lejo the three standard fillies mentioned below:

Sunlight by Steinway, 1st dam Katy G by Electioneer, 2nd
dam Fanny Malone by Niagara, 3rd dam Fanny Wickham by
imp Herald.

Alamo by Steinway, 1st dam Inex, sister to Inez 2:22$, by
Sweepstakes, 2nd dam Dolly Bull by Kentucky Bertrand, 3rd
dam Nancy by American Star.

Firefly by Director, 1st dam Steinola by Steinway, 2d dam
Phaccola by Silverthreads, 3d dam Minnehaha, dam of Beau-
tiful Bells, etc.

The arrival of the California "Cracker- Jacks" with the good
weather of the last week has fanned the trotting interests to
a white heat, The stream of visitors to the ground keeps
up. and every day is a gala-day. Sunol and Palo Alto are
the center of attraction. 'Ihe filly, whose formation is like
nothing that roams the earth or swims the seas, is to all a
new type. The trainers are at their horses early and late,
and the work of conditioning for the contests of the year
goes marching on. Fast quarters and eighths still continue
to be the rule.— Terre Haute Express, May 18th.

As is well known, Theodore Winters started Eist immed-
iately on the conclusion of the Sacramento Meeting, and
since then has kept a careful eye 00 his horsts. It has been
decided that all ot the string that are at Nashville will stait
for MoDmouth Park next week, so it may be presumed th&t
all of the Western engagements will be cancelled. The move
goes to show that El Rio Rey will not start for some t'ms to
come, and there is a slrong probability that our Nashville
correspondent was right when he sail the graat colt would
never face the starter again.

As we go to press on Thursday of this week, some of our
readers will receive the Breeder and Sportsman in time to
take advantage of the announcement that the Oakland Driv-
ing Club will have a matinee at the Oakland Park on Decor-
ation Day. The officers of this Association are: J. C.
Kimball, President; Y>r. C. H. Walter, Vice Prteideut. Di-
rectors—W. R Birmingham, P. W. Bellingall, Dr. C. H.
Walter, J. C Kimball. W. Coleman, R. F. Simpson, Capt.
/.shby, Dr. Wnolsey, D. S Brown, and S. J. Smi;h. Com-
mitter on Rules and Regulations— L. J. Smith, Cap'ain Ash-
by, Myron T. Whiddan. L. A. E.mlay, Sec. and Treas.

Keep an eye on the get of Guy Wilkes {2:15,]} this season
says the H vrse Br jeier. Mr Enerson Broods, who formsr y
owned the king of wagon trotters, Hopeful 2:14J wagon re-
cord 2:16i), and visited California a few months since, writes
the following in a priva'e letter from whi:h we trust be will
pardon us for extracting as follows: 'T lead the other day
the prophecy of some one as to some wondeifol trotting to be
done this year by the Guy Wdkes tribe. Look out for Regal
Wilkes (2:20$). He is a magnificent horse, and has the
material to carry anv clip. Lillian WilkeB will be there too,
but whispers of Vida Wilkes, as yet unknown to fame, prom-
ise things I don't dare mention.

The tale of the candidature cf the Falkirk Burghs by J.
Merry, the father of the owner of Surefoot, the crack favorite
for the Euglish Derby, may bear repetition. The gentleman
in question took occasion to mention in the course of his
speech to the electors that, apart fr,m any question of poli-
tics, he desired to do them a good turn, and as his horse
Tnorinanby w*s sure to win the Blue Riband they most not
omit to back it. Falkirk Burghs waB "on to a man" after
this intimation, and when after Thormanby's success the
wealthy ironmaster Bent an intimation to the Mayor of the
town, "Thormanby has won;" he receivedtli9 characteristic
reply: "Falkirk Bnrghs is drunk." (Horseman.)

F. Camendzindt has com nenced Buit in Justice Henry's
Court for the possession of a horse says the Record-Union.
The suit is a peculiar one, and involves a legal conundrum
which is not explained in the law books.

Camendzindt waB the owner of a horse which be purchased
for $300. He drove the animal for quite a while and be-
cime very much attached to it. Some time ago the horse
got foundered, and was rendered unfit for work Camend-
zindt thought he might as well end the poor animal's suffer-
ing by killing it, and he gave a man So to shoot the animal.
The equine executioner offered another man $1 to take the
horse to the bone y*rd and have it killed there.

The offer waB ace p!ed "and the animal turned over to
Daniel Heally at the bone yard. Tbe latter took the horse
and resolved to try and euro it. He succeeded, and now has
the animal and values it at $150. Camendzindt now wants
the horse back, and has brought suit for the possession of
the animal, claiming that he never relinquished his title to
it. His attorney is F. Estabrook.

There has been quite a spirit of rivalry existing between
the towns of Sosanville and Qaincy as to where the Annual
Fair of Agricultural District No. 11 should beheld. At a
meeting of the Board of Directors held last week, Quincy
proved too much for the opposition, and it was decided to
hold the fair of 1890 at that place. The bid made by the
citizens of Quincy is as follows.

We, the undersigned, in consideration for the holding of
the annual Fair of the Eleventh District Fair Association,
for the year 1890, at the town of Quincy, io the County of
Plumas, State of California, guarantee to the Directors of
said Fair Association, the som of $5,144, which sum to be
paid to them for the use of said Association, on the first day
of said Annual Fair, as may be demanded by them. We
further guarantee to furnish for the use of said Association,
during said Fair, free of all costs to said Association, the
Race 'lrack in order, fenced with solid board fence eight feet
high, the Grand Stand, Judges' Stand, Bar Room, Kitchen
and Boarding house, and all other privileges connected with
said Track, also sixty-five BoxSta'ls for horses, fifty-two
Single Stalls thirty- five Don He Stalls, four water-closets.
Also free water for all the purposes of said Association in
its use on said track, building? and other privileges, and
also the free use of a hall for Pavilion and Bill. As to the
race-track, the above guarantee is that it shall be in good
order on the first day of the Fair and thereafter it is to be
kept in good order at the expense of the Assooiat ion.

The mode of training horses is a threadbare question, says
the Buffalo Commercial., It has been disoussed over and
over again, still no definite rules have been laid down. The
great Palo Alto Farm will not use toe weights under any
consideration. Thousands do, however, and with great suc-
cess. One thing is certain, the less weight a horse has to
carry and be properly balanced the better. It BtandB to rea-
son that a horse wearing a sis-ounce shoe can go more fast
mileB than be could with a fifteen-ounce shoe. It has been
argued, and by eminent breeders too, that one ounce on the
toe is equal to ten pounds on the back of a horse, The
equine family is not unlike the human family in this respect.
An athlete will soon tire of carrying a pound weight in his
hand and swinging it all the time, while ten pounds on the
back would scarcely be felt. Patience will frequently accom-
plish more than toe weights in learning the colt how to trot,
still there are iostances, and many of them too, where toe
weightB must beuBed. Oat of several hundred horses it is
no trouble for Palo Alto Farm to pick out a number of good
ones each year that will go very faBt without weights, but
had toe weights been used sparingly, perhaps, does any one
think bat what other nags, unheard to-day, might not have
been developed more successfully? Horses must he educated
in various ways, according to their disposition aud natural
gait, tbe same as a wee sma' urchin at school. Whip one boy
and it will do him good, whip another, and he will sulk and
become more and more unmanageable. Colt trainers should
remember that kindness will go farther than abnse; that
great care should be taken in shoeing and developing the
youngster. It is easy to make a failure, and nothing succeeds
like success, but education is the keystone of success. It is
just as essential for a trainer of trotting horses to have a good
education as it is for the successful business man. Educa-
tion enlarges the brain and will distance muscle and whip in
every class.

Farmers acd the Census.
As can be readily understood, many of the readers of
the Breeder and Sportsman belong to the farming
cIbbs, and as the census will he taken this year, all of
them are interested in knowing exactly what questions
they will have to answer when the supervisors call upon
them. Already many inquiries have been sent to the
census department in "Washington, asking for informa-
tion in regard to these questions, and for the aid of the
farmers throughout the country, a list has been prepared
so they may readily understand what the nature of the
ques'ions will be. From a pamphlet sent to this office,
we have collated the following questions and put them
in a concise form so that our readers may understand
exactly what is expected of them in the way of iuforma_
tion. It will no doubt be of great assistance to tho^e
who have this work in hand, if the farmers can have all
the information necessary when called upon for their

Besides these questions on the regular Agricultural
Schedule No. 2, Superintendent Robert P. Porter has
ordered several special investigations in the interests of

agriculture, among which are viticulture, nurseries, flor-
ists, seed and truck farms, semi-tropic fruits, orange?,
etc., live-stock on the grea*. ranges, and in cities and
villages; also the dames aud Dumber of all the various
farmers' organizations, such as Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Societies, Poultry and Bee Associations, Farm-
ers' Clubs, Granges, Alliances, "Wheels, Unions, Leagues,
etc.

In no part of the census work have the lines been
extended more than in the direction of agriculture, and
if farmers will now cheerfully co-operate with the enum-
erators and other officials in promptly furnishing the
correct figures, more comprehensive returns regarding
our greatest industry will be obtained than ever before,

The Stake Book.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Will you kindly
notify horse owners, breeders, etc., through the col-
umns of your paper, that next week we shall have ready
for distribution our official ,'stake or nomination book,
which will contain the names of all horses entered it
every stake that has closed for tbis year, also for 1891
and 1892, to be tun at the Monmouth Park and Saratc
ga Associations, the American, Coney Island and Ne\
York Jockey Clubs; also the Brooklyn Jookey Club for
1891. In addition to the above, there will be a volum-
inous index, comprising the age, color, sex, sire and dat
of every horse entered, by which the engagement of ani
particular animal in any stake can be found at a glanc
The stakes of each club are inserted in alphabetical ot
der, so that any particular one is very easy of search.

This publication will give dates upon which races wi!
close for the future, also dates of declarations and the
scale of weight for age now in force. Col. S. D. Bruce
has kindly prepared a list of yearlings for 1890, which
will form part of this publication.

In order to overcome, if possible, past apathy on the
part of horse owners, etc., with regard to this valuable
work, which necessitated our charging in previous years
$10 per copy, we have decided, as an experiment, to re-
duce the price of this book just one-half, viz., $5 for the
recent volume. Tours truly, GoODTvrs Bros.

Guaranteed Purses.

Once more we wish to call the attention of our readers
to the races advertised by the San Mateo and Santa
Clara Country Agricultural District No. 5 for their fall
meeting, which takes place from August 11th to loth
There are two §1200 purses, the first being for the three
minute class, while the second is for 2-30 horses.
The entrance fee in each is 10 per cent, payable
as follows: §40 on June 1st, when entries close, §10 on
July 1st, and §40 on August 1st. There is also a $600
purse offered for the pacing division for those eligible to
the 2:30 class, the entrance fee is also 10 per cent., pay-
able §20 on June 1st, §20 on July 1st, and $20 on Au.
gust 1st. These races are, all of them, mile heats, best
three in five; a neglect to make payments when due for-
feits previous payments. From present appearances,
San Jose will have the most successful meeting this year
that it has ever held, and as the Directors have seen fit
to keep up with the otber-Tissociations and offer large
and liberal purses, there is no reason to doubt but that
they will receive plenty of patronage in return.

The L.08 Angeles Meetiner.
The large and prominent advertisement in th<
Breeder and Sportsman of the Los Angeles races has
cauBed favorable comment from many of the northern
horsemen who have in the past considered the distance to
Los Angeles too far for them to take their hoises, but
the large amount of money offered by the Southern Cal-
ifornia people is enough to tempt maDy of them to visit
the Angel city and secure a fow of the rich plums whioh
have so generously been hung in sight by that associa-
tion. The trotting stakes close on Juue 16th, but the
balance of the races are left open for entries until July
1st. Already the directors hare seen fit to announoe that
in addition to opening the circuit on August 4th, they
will also give another meetiug later in the season after
the Fresno and Breeders' Association have held their
meetings. Unquestionably the Los Angeles people have
gene to work right this year, and as their purses are
larger than ever, they will receive the unqualified
indorsement of all horsemen throughout tho State.

One Day Earlier.

Owing to Friday, the 30th of May, being a public
holiday, the Breeder and Sportsman appears this week
one day in advance of its usual time, so as to enable the
employes of this paper to enjoy with the balance of
their fellow creatures, a day of rest, which is something
rarely accorded to those who are engaged in newspaper
work.

District Colt Stakes.

The Contra Costa County Agricultural Association,
District No. 23, has three colt stakes advertised in the
present issue of the Breeder axd Sportsmax, all of
which are of interest to those living in the county. The
races are, for one year old, one mile dash, for two year
elds, mile heats, two in three, and for three year olds,
mile heats, three in five. The Association adds §75 to
each of these races, and the payment is £40 in each, di-
vided in installments of $10, payable June 1st, when the
stakes close, $15 September 1st, and $15 September 22d.
These races will take place at the annual Fair, and will
be trotted between September 22d and September 27th,
both days inclusive. As Contra Costa County has ad-
vanced considerably within the past few years in the
breeding industry, it is more than probable that these
stakes will receive a generous support from the local
horsemen.

The Eureka Jockey Club.

We desire to call the attention of all whom it may con-
cern to the races advertised in t.iis issue by the well
managed Association which has its headquarters at Eu-
reka in Humboldt County. The races extend over a pe-
riod of four days, beginning on July 2d, and from the
character of the programme, they should receive the sup-
port of all horsemen. Eureka is well known as a racing
center, and its anual meetings have always been success-
fully conducted; the pool box is always liberally natron-
ized, so that those who wish to invest mooey on their
favorites can find plenty nf opportunity to do so. The
entries do not close until June 20th, but it would be well
for those who contemplate a visit to the Coast City to
send in their entries in time, so that they may not be
overlooked or perhaps forgotten entirely.

2:20 Pacing Purse.

In the advertisement of the Pacific Coast Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association which appeared last week
asking for entries for a pacing race, a typographical mis-
take made the announcement read a Nomination Pacing
Purse of §1,000 for the 2:30 class whereas it should have
read for the 2:20 class. "While mention had already been
made of what was intended there may have been some w-ho
read the adveitisement and did not read the remark9
thereon and their attention is called to this mistake.
There are a large number of pacing horses in the State
who are eligible to this purse and undoubtedly when it
closes on June 10th, there will be a fine lot of entries.
As the mistake has been corrected it is only necessary
to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement
which appears in another column.

Judge Corlett's Decision-

As will be seen by referring to the decision of Judge
Corlett published in another column, he has decided in
favor of the National Trotting Association and declares
that the Congress did not step outside of their bounds in
passing the resolution referring to Noble, Robens and
the gray stallion Alcryon. From the present state of
affairs it would seem that Noble has very much the
worst of the case, and the bettor thing for him to do,
would be to let the Board of Review try his case at once,
provided he feels that he is innocent of the charge? laid
at his door. The association only did what was expected
of them and cannot be blamed in the premises. The
good name of the trotting turf must be upheld at all
hazards or the public will refuse to extend its patronage*

A Good Rule.

Our Tennessee Letter.

At almost every meeting held within our knowledge,
people who have lost money have been only to anxious
to cry 'fraud" when the horses which they had backed
failed to win. Of late there has been so much of this
sort of business going on that the Brooklyn Jockey Club
last week posted up on their grounds at Gravesend, the
following notice:

"Any person on or off the track using language detri-
mental to the interest of racing, such as asserting that a
horse has been pulled, or that a race has been 'fixed,'
will be promptly ruled off the grounds of this club un-
less he can substantiate his assertion.'' By order of the
Executive Committee.

It is about time that this idle talk should be done
away with and we are pleased to see that the Brooklyn
Association has taken the initiative in this matter.

Galeatin, Tenn., May 24th.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman": — The racing season of
IS90 is now on in fall blast, and each day adds more turf
events to the history cf American racing. One by one the meet-
ings at different points are left behind, and with the close of
each we find new nameB among tbe list of star turf perform-
ers. The two-year-olds more especially are coming out, and
since the Memphis meeting began the words have been full
of good two-year-oldR. On the Western racing circuit there
are more good two-year-olds than have appeared in any
previous year. Of the crack colts I may mention Dundeei
Georgetown, Allan Bane, Roseland, Hoeneme and probably a
few others that have shown themselves to be nearly first
class. "What is expected to be the great two-year-old of the
year, Bey del Key, has not started yet, and as he does not
start before the St. Louis meeting, we can not tell whether
he is going to be the equal of his great brothers. In looks
he is their superior, and one would think that no road waB
too long nor any weight too heavy for him to carry any dis-
tance successfully.

Of: the two'year-old fillies that have started this season Ida
Pickwick, Monte Kosa, Annie Brown and Lady Washington
are the pick of the lot, and, singularly, it is, all were bred in
Tennessee. TMb lot of colts and fillies have held a monopoly
ou all the stake races for their age, as they have won every
one run in the "West since the New Orleans Spring Meeting

Isaac Murphy has signed to ride thiB season for Mr. Hag-
gin, the California tarfman. Isaac has several good colts
himself, and after this season he will retire from the pigskin
and hereafter appear in the role of owner and trainer.
Murphy is shoes to places the best pokey that rides in
the West, and whenever he appears in the silks upon any
Western race course he receives an ovation. He will land
the horses of the Haggin string under the wire winners of
many events the coming season, and with his guiding hand
Firenzi should be well nigh invincible, as should the great
Salvator, the Lorillard winner.

It was sad news to hear that the speedy Gorgo had broken
down, and to those who had backed her for the Suburban it
was fearful. Many trainers have told me that the black daugh-
ter of Isonomy would handle Firenzi the coming season, and
that when just right she could smash any previous record up
to a mile and a quarter. She was the equal of any mare of her
age last season and it did look very much like Senator Hearst
would take the nest Suburban honors to his California home.

A bill has been introduce in the Senate against winter
racing at the New Jersey tracks. This bill was most probably
introduced by some Senator who had lost his "wad"
on the Jersey skates, and who now felt it his duty to ask for
the prevention of such cruelty as "racing plug horees in mid
winter." I, for one, do not uphold winter racing as a gam-
bling scheme for touts, pickpockets and these, but winter
raciDg conducted as was the latter part of tbe Clifton Winter
Meeting, will neither injure the popularity of American rac-
ing nor will it be barbarous. The horses raced at these
tracks arenot owned by such men as the Dwyers, Baldwin,
Hearst, Haggia, Belmont or the Morrises, but they are
owned by men who must make them win their feed if possi-
ble, and this is their chance. Clifton did more to increase
the popularity of racing than any of the more ari-toeratic
summer tracks will do this entire season. That club gave
added money to long distance races, and hundreds of people
flocked out to see them, that had not in years been upon a
race course. If Clifton still keeps up as it ended by all
means let it continue to hold its winter meeting. We wonld
refrain from doing anything that this big hearted Senator
would call "cruel and barbarous," and we feel a sympathy
for his feelings when the bill is brought up for a vote and his
brother Senators sit down upon his bill. May they do so.

Mr. Wallace's nephew, who is accused of robbing his
uncle of over $50,000, has been arrested in Havana, and

Langford Stock Farm.

On the banks of the Mokelumne, in the shadow of the Si.
erras, on the richest of native grasses, is the Langford Stock
Farm. There Senator Langford has gathered together a
large number of gilt edged mares and fillies. In the olden
days Senator Langford was a devoted follower of the thor-
oughbreds. Then he had the best and hottest blood that
ever looked through bridles. In that way he ha3 backed up
his trotting pedigrees by the stoutest running blood. From
"Bessie Sedgwick" by Joe Daniels, dam by Starlight, son of
Owen Dale, he has three fillies by Dexter Prince and Haw-
thorne. The oldest one is a bay, 4 years old, by Dexter
Prince. She is large and strong, with plenty of facility and
finish. She is being bred to L. M. Morse's Hero, a son of
Director.

The nest of the Bessie Sedgwick produce is a black, 3-year
old filly by Hawthorne, the son of Nutwood and the sire of
Tempest 2:19. She has fine trotting action and promises to
be prominent in the three year old classes this fall.

The BeBBie Sedgwick two year old is a sorrel filly by Haw-
thorne and with proper handling will be a trotter. The year-
ling from this mare is a bay filly by Hawthorne, and is
owned by N. J. Stone of Mountain View, who alBO has a
suckling at tbe mare's side by Hawthorne.

From Bessie Sedgwick Senator Langford had a filly foal
frcm the cover of Bayswater, the son of Lexington, and Bay
Leaf by imp Yorkshire. From this Bayswater mare the Sen-
ator has a four year old mare by Dexter Prince, a three year
old filly by the same horse, and a two year old stallion colt.
All these are a credit to Dexter Prince and the granddaugh-
ter of Lexington and Bay Leaf.

The Bayswater mare has produced two more — a colt and a
filly to the cover of Dexter Prince. They are owned by Mr.
Stone of Mountain View, and show the royal blood of their
sire and dam.

The next of the Senator's mares is a bay, 9 years old, by
Tom Vernon, by Hambletonian Chief, 1st dam by Stock-
bridge Chief. Jr., 2nd dam by Royal George, 3d dam by Grey
Eagle. This mare is a great road mare, and is being bred to
Hero, Morse's Director— Santa Clans colt. She has a four,
year by Dexter Prince that moves well, and is being trained
at the Lodi track.

Another broodmare is a grey by Wine Creek, son of Mc-
Cracken'e Black Hawk, with breeding on the dam's side the
same as the Tom Vernon mare above. This mare has a grey
two-year-old tilly by Dexter Prince, which has been broken
and jogged, and gives great promise. Her yearling— a bay
filly— :s as fine a Dexter Prince as there is, and that is high
praise, for he is a uniform producer of large, fine looking
colts and fillies. By her side this grey mare has a suckling
filly by Shippee and Parker's Campaign, son of Electioneer
and a daughter of Homer, a eon of Mambrino Patchen. She
has the size and powerful form of Electioneer and the high
finish aod quality of the Mambrino Patchens. By the way,
I want to say here that Campaign has a number of as fine
looking sucklings as I have ever seen.

There is also a brown Mambrino Wilkes mare, 4 years old,
dam by LeRock. brother to Priam, son of Whipple's Hamble-
tonian, granddam by Odd Fellow, son of imp Chloroform.
She is stinted to Dexter Prince. There is a bay mare by
Chieftiin, dam a thoroughbred, stinted to Dexter Prince.

Another broodmare is Reliance 2:22, being bred to Morse's
Director— Santa Claus colt.

Last but not least is HEzel iurke, the game and fast
daughtgr of Brigadier. She never looked better than now.
She is being bred to Hawthorne and should have a great
youngster from this son of Nutwood and the daughter of Vol-
unteer.

In all, Senator Langford has sixteen mares, which will pro-
duce foals that will sell well in the Eastern market, and he is
constantly adding to his list by purchasing the best blood.
He has entered the list of California breeders to stay, and he
will train as well as breed.

Stallions.

The qnestion is often asked "How many mares should a
stallion be allowed in a season?" says the London Live
Stock Journal,

ThiB question is so broad that an answer cannot be given
except at length; bat even whtn I have done so the reply
will still appear vagne, and it must be left so for people of
common sense to weigh and adapt to the special stallion in
whose interests the information is sought. From the way
the question is invariably put it appears to be the opin-
ion of many that there is such a thing as a regulation num-
ber of mares to a hor6e( which, if once fixed, will put an end
to all thought on the subject; but this number will entirely
depend upon circumstances.

In the first place, a young horse should not have as
mauy mareB as a horse in the prime of life, neither should
an aged horse in his first year have as many mares as one
that has got seasoned; secondly, it .depends on whether the
mares are thoroughbred or half-bred; thirdly, it depends on
the temperament and powers of the horse; fourthly, it de-
pends on the knowledge and experience of whoever has
charge of the horse: and thereare, fifthly, various other facts
that materially alter tbe regulation number of mates that a
horse should be allowed in a season.

Now, as to my first query: It must be borne in mind that,
as far as,the horBe is concerned, it is not a question to be
considered of how nuny mares may be allowed him, but it is
entirely a question of how many services he is required to
give duiing the season; and ahorse young at his work may
have to give a larger number of services to produce the sams
results than would be necessary with a seasoned horse, and
each service might, through excessive excitement, take more
out of him than it would do when the horse had steadied to
his work. This is the case with most horses the first sea-
son, and, of course, it is only common sense to consider that
a three-year-old unmatured horse should tot be subjected to
the same exertions as an aged one.

Secondly, as to the difference it makes to a horse whether
the mares are thoroughbred or not is an idea that seems to
have occurred to but few, yet the difference is very material.
Thoroughbred mareB come earlier in seasoD than half-bred
ones, and owiDg to the weather beiDg cold they sometimes
remain in season only a short time — a day or two; therefore,
when the mare is seen to be iD season, it becomes necessary
to serve her to make sure of her. Then, if she happens to
keep in season for several dayB after, it is evident ihat she
waaserved too early, and she Bhould be served again. This
makes two services in the one pride, whereas, were she a half
bred mare coming la'er in the year, when she first appeared
in use it would have been Bate to wait a few days aud then
serve her, and bo do with the one service instead of two.
Then, again, half bred mares are more spread over the season.
Some come la'e, when a horse's work would be Blackening,
and that would not canse the same strain as if all the mares
came with a rush on the horse at about the same time, as
thoroughbred mares mostly do.

Thirdly, horses vary very much in their powers of frnit-
falnesB, and if a horse be specially gifted be can take a great
many more mares in a season than a horse that ir deficient in
this respect, because the latter will miss his mare several
times before he stops her, whereas the former horse would
stop a large majority of his mares with the one first service,
so that a horse of this sort would be able to take a far greater
number of mares to a given number of services than another
horse who was not such a sure foal-getter. It must be borne
in mind that horses frequently vary one year from another.
They do not alwayB do the same, and how a hors6 happens
to be doing m a particular year should regulate the number
of mares put to him for that 3 ear.

Fourthly, much depends on the management of a stallioD;
he may be got toD fat from over-feeding and want of exercise,
and this would cause him to miss a great number of his
mareB, which would return to him and prevent him taking so
many with ease to himself. TheD, again, the man who has
perfect knowledge of the right time to serve a mare and when
not to do so, can save his horse mnch extra work, and prove
in the end to be more successful with his mares. I speak
from experience in this matter, because I now seo the errors
that used to be oommitted in the management of our stal-
lions when we first commenced the stud which I now man-
age. I am sure that etttllions are frequently made to serve
mares that are in foal, and had better be left alone, and that
from want of knowledge stallions are put on mares when tbey
are not quite ready, and that Bervice is one thrown away.
All these little circumstances make a Jot of difference in the
number of mares u horse should be limited to in a season.
I JOne thiDg I am convinced of, viz., that ODe service at th9
right time, if the horse serves bis mare satisfactorily, is as
good as two or more services in the same pride, and I consid-
er that a horse worked by an experienced man on*tbis system
will get a larger proportion of mares in foal than a stallion
worked on the principle of two services better than one, be-

cause a horse worked on the latter lines, if given the same
number of mares as tbe former, would have double work,
and through being over Jone. might fail more or less, whereas
I the other horse would be liesh all through the season.

Fifthly, I will refer to a few other circumstances not dealt
with above. For iostance, much depends on the number of
mares that come late in the Beason, say in June. You
might count three of these mares to cause no more distress to
a horse than one mare coming at the commencemfnt, because
the latter may take the horse once every three weeks all the
season through, whereas the mares that come late have only
one or two chauceB at most". Then ag»in, one horse may be
unlucky in gettirjg severel very obBtinate old mares, that may
be each of them as bai as half a dozen others; while another
horse may get a larger proportion of fo ilirjg mares which are
not so much trouble to get in foal; and, in fact, the whole
thing depends on circumstances, and an owner can see as
the season goes on when a horse haB got as many mare3 on
hislist as he should have, and he can close the list until he
sees the bulk of the mares promise to te in foal, when, to-
wards the end of the season, he can take a few more.

Systems in Batting.

The experience of most men, who have for any long period
been in the habit of risking their money on chance, whether
at the racehorse and gambling table, is that systems are a
snare and a delusion, says the Week's Sport. Better even
then to use such misleading methods of pursuing the "oof
bird," is to adopt the eminently unsportsmanlike system of
backing jockeys and not their mounts. Of course, it is re-
diculous to say that one ought not to back a crack jockey's
mount against a Btable lad's, but Dot even a Jimmy Mc-
Laughlin or a Fred Archer can get out of a horse more than
their is in him; but yet one sees absurdly short prices against
a horse oftentimes simply because tbe j jcky is the best rider
in the race, and the unthinking herd piles on its cash. Some
systems have been found to work moderately well, but only
such as must Decessarily be conducted on the "slow but
sure" principle, so that small winnings only can be made.
Such a method as that extensively adopted during last seas-
on, of which the principle is to back the second favorite for
the place, is as good as any.

Men will, of course, bet when they go to the races — more's
the pity — but the casual race-goer who has Dever followed up
the form of horses and is iD no degree "posted," I do not
mean that it is necessary to ferret around all the while to
getwind ofirobberies.11 Some frauds are certainly perpe'rated,
but there is very little substance in all the fuss about
"stiff'V etc. At aDy rate, you may take it for granted that
when a job is to be brought off', uncommonly few people are
let into the secret, and it is time wasted to attempt to fathom
such dark stable secrets. Those that whh to follow the races
right along must study public form, learn to judge a horsa's
condition, gather what information is to be had abont private
work, carefully notiDg while at the race course how the
horses move in their preliminary work— follow this advise,
and you will have moie chance to win the bookmaker's dust
than by aDy "system."

Sometimes one discovers an animal, especially in the sell-
ing plater class, that has shown good private form, bu' failed
to justify it in public. PriceB rale very loDg against it when
it goes to the post, and as time goes on, aud it ha3 only suc-
ceeded in whipping in the fields it has started with, they be-
come even longer. Follow it right up along and some day,
when the horse is feeling just right, it will jump out with
perhap 50 to 1 against it, and score brackets. There have
been plenty of su^h instances, of late, and one could well have
afforded to lose a small sheaf of ten-dollar bills for the sake
of the harvest that it woald have reaped eventually. To a
shrewd judge two-year old racing can be made a most fruitful
source of profit, but it is necessary to bestow careful considera-
tion on tbe private form, breeding, and handling of tbe
youngsters.

The pith of the whole matter is that on tbe turf as else,
where there is no "royal road" to weilth, and those believing
they can jump in and make a small fortune, unless by a fieet-
iDg stroke of luck, are sorely mistaken. Careful and persis-
tent study and methods are necessary, and even then a man
may be unable to keep ahead of the books. For any but the
professional racing men betting is a mistake, unlesB it be to
add additional zest to a day's holiday.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ARPHIPPCS,

During the early part of the week the athletes were busy
putting on the finishing touches foe the great championship
meeliDg which was held, yesterday. After yesterday's vork
it is probable thai the boys will need a couple of weeks rest
Complete arrangements have been for the centnry ran of the
California Division, L. A. W.t which will commence to-mor-
row morning.

EN THE SUBF.

The different sarf-bathing establishments were crowded on
Sunday last. The managers of the Terrace Ruths at Ala-
meda were kept unnsually busy serving ont suits, many la-
dies being noticed amongst the crowd of bathers.

It is estimated that over five thousand people were present
jn the spectators' gallery at the Terrace baths on Sunday.

Captain Voliiner and several other well known swimmers
donned their bathing suits and gave fine exhibitions of high
and fancy diving during the afternoon.

Several members of the Civil Service swimming Club vis-
ited the Sheltered Cove Baths on Sunday and entertained the
spectators with good exhibitions of diviDg and fast swimming.

The Palace and Crystal Baths did a fair business during
the week, notwithstanding the fact that the warm weather
has a tendency to attract the majority ot the bathers to the
open sea bathing resorts.

The Pacific Swimming Club will open its season of 1890 at
the Terrace Swimming baths, Alameda, to-morrow. A good
programme of sports will be given, and Captain Jack Voliiner,
George W. Spiller and other members of the club will contest
jn diving and swimming events.

Reports from Santa Cruz say that large crowds daily enjoy
the sarf bathing at that place. The season has also opened
at Monterey and Capitola and promises to turn out well for
the bath-house owners at both resorts.

RUXNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

Daring the past couple of months several good amateur
runners have arrived on the Pacific Coast, the majority o*
them being from Ireland. Now that the championship
games are over, it is more than probable that some of them
will join the Olympic Club.

In our next issue we will present our readers with a full
and graphic account of the annual championship games cf
the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association, which were
held at the new grounds of the Olympic Clubyesterday after-
noon.

There has been considerable trouble amongst the athletes
on account of the churges of professionalism brought against
Charles Little of the Alpine Club. "We think all the trouble
might have been avoided if Captain Jordan of the Olympic
Club, who made the charges, had notified Mr. Little to at-
tsnd a meeting of the P. C. A. A. A., and in prasence of del-
egates, give an account of ail his previous records on the
cinder track. Mr. Little was never officially notified to appear
at a meeting of the Association, aod, in consequence, had no
chance to answer the charges brought against him. He was
condemned without a hearing, and in refusing his entry when
first presented, Mr. Jordan certainly showed a very bad spir-
it, and he also violated the rules of the Association in which
he apparently takes so much piide. Such conduct on the
part of a delegate of the P. C. A. A. A,, if permitted to con-
tinue unchecked, will naturally cause discontent amongst
the athletes, and discontent amongst the athletes will most
undoubtedly cause a speedy dissolution of the Pacific Coast
• Amateur Athletic Association. As the outcome of Mr. Jor-
dan's rather premature decision, we have already heard some
of the athletes say that if the clubs which they represent do
not withdraw from the P. C A. A. A. they will tender their
resignations as members. The officerg of the Alpine Club
say that it was never their intention to try and shield Little.
On the contrary, they were only too anxious to have the
oharges brought against him. either substantiated or else
proven ftilse, but as the P. C. A. A. A. did not seem inclined
to give Little a chance to either clear or condemn himself,
the Alpine Club will possibly withdraw from the Association.

The Acme Athletic Clob held a very enjoyable "Ladies'
Night" exhibition on Tuesday evening at the club rooms, 305
Fourteenth street, Oakland.

The members of the Lurline Club gave their first cross-
country run from Jackson's Villa, Sausalito, on Sunday last.
Mr. Stutz was the first runner home. After the run the boys
sat down to a fine lunch which had been prepared by Mrs.
Ross Jackson. The club will hold another run from the
6ame place on Sunday, Jone 8th.

It is said that a new five lap track will be built at Central
Park for the use of the athletes who are not members of the
Olynipio Club. We think the project would pay, as there are
several good athletic clabs in the city that would only be too
glad to secure the privilege of using the grounds for their
members. Go ahead, Mr. McNeill. On vous attend.

■Walter A. Scott, President of the P. C. A. A. A.; has been
elected to the Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Un-
ion of the United States.

There was a quarter mile run for members of the club
only at the Olympic Club grounds on Sunday last. The day
was rather windy and was, therefore, dead against fast time.
The record, however, under the circumstances, was credit-
able. The following men started: V E Schifferstein, scratch;
SVCassady, scratch; J O'Kane, 10yds; J Kortick, 13yds;
F G O'Kane, 14yds; J A Code, 18yds; C W H Toomey, 20
yds; Frank O'Kane finished first in 53 2-5 sec. Cassady was
second bv five yards, Schifferstein third by four yards. After
the race "W. A. Scott made a successful attempt to lower the
Pacific Coast 1000 yard running record, held by J. G, Sutton
of the University Athletic Club. Mr. Scott beat the record
by one quarter of a second.

The Alpine Amateur Athletic Club will hold a grand two-
day boxing tournament on Jane 18th and 19th at the club
rooms, 706 Powell street. Valaable prizes will be given.

M. C Giry and C. C. Johnson are trying to revive the de-
funct Pacific Athletic Club.

JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER.

"Willie Day, the champion distance ranner of America, will
be sent to England to participate in the regular champion-

Iship games.
It is claimed that there are over 200 lawn tennis clubs in
New York City and Brooklyn.
Travers Island hasbeen opened for the season, and already
Beveral of the New York Athletic Club members are begin-
ning to move over there for the summer months.

At Boston, on Saturday last, Downs ran 440 yards in 49
seconds, and Fearing cleared Oft. 0^ in. in the running high
jump, both breaking the college records.

AT THE OARS.

The fine weatl er on Sunday was highly appreciated by a
number of the local Oarsmen, who Bpent the greater portion
of the day on the bay.

Several new men will make their debut at the coming
Fourth of July regatta, and some of the old oarsmen will
have to work hard to hold their laurels.

As in athletics, greater interest will be taken in rowing this
season -than has been for many years past, on account of the
large number of new clubs that have lately sprung into exist-
ence.

ON THE WHEEL.

Only one member of the San Francisco Bicycle Club rode to
Hay wards on Sunday, A regular run of the clob was called,
but the members were evidently too lazy to obey the man-
date.

Captain Manning and his associates have just returned
from their eight day ran through the Napa Valley. They
travelled over 300 miles during the trip, and report the roads
in good condition. The weather, however, was rather too
hot and somewhat marred the enjoyment of tbe run.

The members of the Outing 'Cycle Club had a run to Hay-
wards on Sunday.

Messrs. Doane, Plummer, Hammer and Welmore rode to
San Jose on Sunday. They made arrangements with the
League Hotels for the reception of the wheelmen who intend
starting on the century run to-morrow morning.

The postponed century run will take place tomorrow
morning. The start will be made from the corner of 21st

Ontario's Great Jump.

Having gotten away from the officious interference of the
Society of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Ontario, Mr.
S. S. Howland'a remarkable horse, cleverly demonstrated
his right to championship honors by jumping seven feet on
Saturday afternoon at Washington, and simultaneously es-
tablishing a world's record. It is likely to be many a long
day ere another horse equals this superb performance.

The bar was first placed at 4 feet 6 inches, and raised fonr
inches at a time until 6 feet S inches were reached. Ontario
cleared each of the respective heights without effort on the
first trial. The bar wa* then raised to seven feet, and Judge
Davis, of the Court of Claims, Col. Carpenter, U. S. A., com-
mander at Fort Meyer. Coont Sala of the French Legation,
Mr. Ssvelvn Brown, Chief Clerk of the State Department,
and Mr. Neilson Brown, of Philadelphia, invited to measure
it. This they did with a spirit level, and pronounced a full
7 feet. In his first effort Ontario got over in front but pulled
off: the two top bars. At the second, amid the greatest ex-
citement, with a bound he scored the heretofore considered
impossible jump of 7 feet. He was ridden by his usual rider,
James Freliog, who with his saddle and bridle weighed 159
pounds. The juniD was made off the clay floor of the riding
academy with a very poor take off and no spring whatever.

All hi^h jnmps heretofore have been mide off board floors
covered with Un birk. wbich attbrdei more or less spring

This feit undoubtedly stamps Ontario as the most remark-
able jumper the world has ever seen. Under favorable con-

ditions another six inches is within his possibilities. The
record of this jump has been attested to in writing by the
gentlemen of the committee, whose names are enough to
guarantee the performance. — Week's Sport.

The Age of a Horae.

The following, quoted by the Lancet Clinic from the Dub-
lio Farmer's Gazette, is valuable to every one who owns a
horee:

The foal is born with twelve grinders. When four front
teeth have made their appearance the foal is twelve days old,
and when the next fonr assert themselves its age will be
about twenty-eight days. The corner teeth make their
appearance when the foal is eight months old, and these lat-
ter attain the height of the front teeth at the age of a year.
The two-year-olds have the kernel — the dark substance in
the middle of the tooth's crown— ground out of all the front
teeth. In the third year the middle front of teeth are shifted,
and when three years old these are substituted by the perma-
nent (or horse) teeth, which are larger and more yellow than
their predecessors. The next teeth are shifted in the fourth
year, and the corner teeth in the fifth, giving place to the
permanent nippers.

At five years of age a horse has forty teeth, -of which twenty-
four are grinders, far back in the jaw, with which we have
little to do. Bat, be it remembered, horses invariably have

tushes which mares very rarely do. Before the age of six is
' arrived at the tush is foil grown, and has a slight groove on
its internal surface (which generally disappears with age, thi
tusk itself becoming more round and blunt), and at six thi
kernel or mark is worn out of the middle front teeth. Thei
will still be a difference of color in the center of the tooth.

The tushes have now attained their full growth, bein^
nearly or quite an inch in length, convex without, concave
within, tending to a point, and the extremity somewhat
ourved. Now, or perhaps some months before, the horse
may be said to have a perfect mouth.

At seven years the mark, as described, is very nearly worn
ont of the four center nippers, and fast wearing away in the
corner teeth, especially in mares, but the black mark still
remains in the center of the tooth, and is not completely
tilted up until the animal is eight years old. As he gets on
paBt seven the bridle teeth begin to wear away.

At eight the kernel has entirely disappeared from all tbe
lower nippers. It is said to be '*past mark of month." There
are indications, however, after this age which will eDable a
very shrewd observer to guess very olosely at a horse's age,
but none that can be relied upon by observers.

t Bonnets o' Blue,
by Kir Charles
Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
thoroughbreds. Under these disadvantages he aired
a long list of winners. His sire Newminster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam. Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. NewminiBter by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 1834. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 64 races out of 64 starts, by Dr. Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cup. 1837—40-41—42,
tbe only horse that ever accomplished that feat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheers is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever ber.t Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Kate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam. Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf.

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
Bter line in America.

LOCATION.
THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This place has
been selected for the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of
these mares- and the other facilities to be obtained
there for the care of mares (especially mares in foal)
are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

TERMS.

$60 for the season with the usual return privileges.
Pasturage 85 per month. Mares cared for as owners
may deBire at bottom rates for grain and hay. All
Dills payable before tbe mare is removed.

Mares shipped care of WM. IRVINE, Pacific StableB,
Sacramento, will be properly cared for and sent to
the ranch without delay,

Three Cheers will be in charge of one of tbe most
experienced and competent stud grooms in the State,
who will exercise every care, but no reponsibility
asBumed for accidents or escapes.

MEMO is, as can be seen at a glance, one of the best bred young stallionB in service, having three
crosses of Rysdyk'B Hambletonian and one of Harry G'lav, the sire of Grewn Mountain Maid (dam of Elec-
tioneer, etc."), while Long Islmd Black Hawk and Flaxtail also contribute to bis blood. Sidney (Memo's
eire) is universally known as the best young sire m the world, a producer of extreme speed at an early age.

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted in public in his two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandee in a r*ce on the Bay D'strict Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2-32.
He exhibited phenomenal Bpeed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question that he would have shown in public very close to tae best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

Ab a four-year-oid Memo only s'arted ouce -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, gre t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, buc after sho wine several very fast miles his leg filled and he was laid up for
the season. He ia sixtpen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition is all that could be desired, and bis action superb. He ie a sure foal
getter, only one mare being report' d not in foal during his last season.

TERM&. Sln0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15tb,
when he will be prepared for track purposes. Pasturage ?i per month, ifave leased the cricket ground
adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is fine feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. BeBt
of care taken of mares in any manner owners may desire, but positively no responsibility assumed for acci-
dents or escapes. For further particulars address

THE SOUTHER FARM

Has Green Peed the Year Round,

and feeds Hay in connection with the green feed, which a horee
must have if he is to thrive. Every animal is given

A Dry, Warm Place to Sleep,

No matter how stormy the weather. All Stock under cover when it rains.
VISITORS WELCOME ANY DAT EXCEPT SUNDAY. JL.

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight miles southeast uf Oak-
land- The stables are ahont one mile east of the county road, which runs between Oakland and San Lean*,
dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Roai, where a large Bignboard of the farm is placed. Guide hotrds!
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads ate very good, and tbey are fairly good
after tbeunuBually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock seni from :san Francisco may be brought over by Gtrcia's Express, No. 3 Market street Sana
FranciBCO. They alBO have an order box outside of Bawley Bros.' Hardware bouse on the corner nf Market! I
and Eeale streets. The express leaves S?an Francisco on the Creek route boat, wliJch starts at 1:3' but allf
orderB should be m the order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 ' Market?
street, bv 11 o'clock at the latest. In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the Souther Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A small charge will be!
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are very eaBily taken irom Oakland to the farm, and where It is inconvenient for owners to)
bring them or send them, the farm will send after anything that is to come. Ou horses that stay threef
months or oyer there is no charge tor getting or delivering. Where a horse stays a short time the actual!
time and expense only Is charged to him.

Horses can be shipped liy rail from almost all parts of the Stats to San Leandro. Always notify His
Farm several days before shipping anythirg, and then men will be on. hand to receive stck on arrival ' Tli«
railroad station is but two miles from the Souther Farm, and the agent invariably gives immediate notice^
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the above farm, but when word is sent to the farm in good season'
bv letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hours in the car.

Passenger tr-iins leave San Francisco (from the broad gauge ferry) and First and Broadway, Oakland,
at Frequent intervals during the day. There are several trains from San Jose to San Leandro on both toe
broad and narrow gauge railroads; the broad gauge, by way of Niles, is much more convenient f jr get tnc lo
the farm. There are trains each day from Sacramento, Stockton aud Li\ermore to San Leandro. in ordi-
nary weather it is a short and pleasant drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San Francisco t»
the Farm by way of the Creek route fnrry boat. Always notify the Souther Farm just when you will arrive'
at San Leandro, and some one will meet you at the station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance aek ,
the stage driver, who will point it out.

Write to the above address for references, circulars and price lisls. Terms']
reasonable.

Foaled 1 876. Black. Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of highest form and quality; of great excellence in every point: a type of his celebrated fam-
ily; of marked individuality, spirit and endurance; never properly trained or raced, but sbows the pos-
session of great speed; perfectly manageable in the stable and on tbe road and track.

As be is sired by The Moor 870, a son of OLAY PILOT, out of Vasbtl by MAMBRINO PATCHEN, he is a
moBt valuable cross for mares of other families. THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bells and the dams of Sable
Wilkes and Margaret 2:28 (dam of Regal Wilkes, 2-year-old record 2:202).

MAMBRINO PATCHEN is regarded as the unsurpassed sire of broodmares, having, among many
otlK-rH, sired the dam of Guy WilkeB and of Wm. L (tbe sire of Axtell), and a son of his sired tbe dam of
Axtell. The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis tbe value of The'Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with tbe Hamblelonians It may be called
"the ready money cross."

GRAND MOOR will make the season of 1890 for a time at tbe Oakland Racn Track and afterwards at my
Ranch, fifteeD miles from Oakland. Mares can bn delivered at tbe race track to tbe groom in charge.
Pasture at 35 per month. For other food, if requested, an additional charge will be made.

AN UNQUALIFIED EMDORSMOT.

Peruvian Bitters are made of the
purest ingredients and compounded as
carefully as any prescription.

Peruvian Bark, one of its prin-
cipal ingredients, was introduced
into Spain by the Countess, wife of
Count CINCHON, Spanish Viceroy to Peru
in 1630, who was cured of a fever by its
use, since which time, no better remedy
'or Malaria and for Restoring the Natural
Tone of the Stomach has been discovered-

On the Atlantic Coast they are used in
the principal Hotels, Clubs and Res-
taurants, and sold by all Grocers and
Druggists. We have sold them for the past
three years WITHOUT ANY ADVERTISING and
sales have constantly increased UPON
MERIT ALONE, and we unqualifiedly recom-
mend them to our friends and customers.

(*:I5, trial »:13 3-4).

JCANITO JR. is a beautifnl bright bay, blacl
paints, with no white, foaled 188G. As a colt he ha
given much more promise th&n did Almont Patchei
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, be U<
good square trotter, with every indication of grea
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can dri v-
him. Tbe owner's only reason for selling him t
that business calls bim away from this section o
the State. Be will be sold at a reasonable figure
This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman ti
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

AUSTRALIAN WILD HORSB3.

The Pleasures and Perils of their Capture.

In the year 1868, New South Wales and the greater por-
tion of Victoria suffered from a prolonged draught, and
stock, especially cattle died by the thousands from want of
feed and from thirst. In the Maqaarrie River, some fifty
miles from the town of Dabbo, where the present sketch is
located, water in 68 was very scarce and grass in proportion.
The cattle came from miles in the interior to drink at the
stagnant pools which here and there at long intervals marked
where the Maquarrie once poured along In the mud and
mire round these pools hundreds of cattle got bogged and
starved to death being too weak from want of food to make
an effort to save themselves. For a mile or two in from the
river the plains were as bare of feed as the high road, and
were strewn with carcasses of cattle. In the cattle "station''
(as the ranches are caV'ed in Australia) of Mullah, on which
the writer was there gaining "colonial experience", (which
means working for no pay) there were upwards of fifteen
thousand head of good cattle before the two years draught
set in. A "'muster" after it was over only produced eleven
thousand head of wretched bpologies for beef.

Under these conditions water was highly valued and care-
fully guarded. Eight miles from the main station was a
large natural water hole, known for what reason, I cannot
tell, as the Four Mile Hole. Here we had to station a man
with a rifle to drive off the large mobs of wild horses which
each day watered there, and drive off the weak and thirsty
cattle, besides using up a vast amount of the precious fluid.
It was his business to wait until a mob of horses came in and
then to shoot the entires and scare off the rest.

One evening the stockman from the Four Mile House came
in for provisions, and told us that two large mobs of wild
horses, among which were some fine ones, had lately been
coming around the water-hole. He had fired at the Btallions
several times but so far as be knew had never hit them.

"What do you 6ay boys said superintendent K , if we

' go out to the Four Mile Hole to-morrow night and take a
lnrn at the "clearskins" — (unbranded horses)?

Of course we were only too willing, for our life for some-
time past had been dull and uneventful as the cattle were
too weak to disturb and "mustering" for fat sto:k or calves
was out of the question.

The next day we each of us— there were four — got our fa-
vorite horses up and fed them boantiful measures of Indian
corn, driving the rest of the home horses into the stock-yard,
bo as to be handy to take with us in the evening, and hun-
gry enough to feed quietly when we got them out to the plain
where they were to wait until we drove the wild horses into
them, and Btarted the lot for home.

It was about an hour from sunset when we started out for
our hunting ground, with the band of tame horses number-
ing some eighty in front of us and a couple of pack-horses
carrying our blankets and pots and pans, for we intended t)
c imp at the water hole, and wait the arrival of the wild hcr-
• see which usually came in to drink at night.

In about two hours we arrived at the Four Mile' Hole and
lost no time in making some tea and eating a hearty Bupper
of "damper" and betf. After supper we sent off one of our
number to herd the horses on a small plain close to the water
hole, then lit our pipes, wrapped ourselves in our blankets
and awaited developments, leaving oar horses saddled and
bridled ready for mounting at a moment's notice.

We had smoked away for half an hour or so, when K said
"no more smoking now, or we sha'nt see a horae to-night."
And he was strictly obeyed, for we well knew what a keen
sense of smell the wild horse has and how suspicious he is of
danger.

It was a lovely moonlight night in December, the hottest
month in Australia, and all was still as death except for the
occasional chirp of an opossum or the howl of a "dingo" (a
species of wild dog very like our coyote).

I was just dozing off to sleep when I heard a rustling
among the dry leaves close to my head. I gently raised my-
self up on one elbow and looked for its cause, when to my
horror I saw a black snake some four feet long, coiled np
close to where my head had lain. I jumped up and killed it
with a few blows from my stock whip handle, but there was
no more sleep or thought of it for me that night, as I had a
horror of snakes and the black snake is one of the most dead-
ly in Australia.

It must have bean well on into the night, when I heard
one of our horses give a low wbinny, and at the same time
K clutched my arm and whispered, "Hush! here they come."
He was correct, for I could hear the distant tread of hoofs.
In a second we were all on the alert though still lying down.
"Don't one of you move until I give the signal, " said K, and
then you E go to the right, you F to the left and I'll get right
behind the horses, and we'll rush them out through that
thin lea tree Bcrub onto the plain where P has our quiet
horses."

We all held our breaths and watched eagerly forthe horses,
the dust which they raised being now plainly seen in the
moonlight. At last with a loud neigh up trotted a large
black stallion. He must have stood nearly seventeen hands.
Hia coat- shone like satin and bis long tail swept the ground.
Tne waterhole was surrounded by a dense growth of gum
trees, but the ground was bare for some ten yards or so
around the water. The noble stallion paused for a half min.
ute or so, when he reached the open, threw his head in
the air and catching what little wind there was sniffed for
danger. Fortunately, we were to leeward of him, and not
scenting danger, he soon gave the signal for the re3t of the
mob to approach.

In a minute there was a wild rush and amidst a cloud of
dust we could hear the splashing of some hundred head of
horBOB in the water. When the dust cleared away we saw
them all. There were mares and foals, yearlings, two-year-
olds, and mares and horses of various sizes and colors. It
was a grand sight to see the thirsty and tired brutes disport
themselves in the muddy water.

K was just about to give the signal for us all to mount and
after them, when a loud neigh was heard to our right, and a
heavy cloud of dust was seen rising above the tree tops.

The old stallion heard it as soon or sooner than we did,
and he evidently knew what it meant, for he dashed into the
water and soon had his startled harem closely herded together
in the open space to the left of the water-hole.

Then slowly and majestically we saw a heavy bay Btallion
emerge from the brush. With distended nostrils and fiercely
bulging eyeballs, he seemed to take in the situation at once.
Turning half round he gave a low signal to hia herd, and
then advanced to meet the black horse, who by this time had
singled himself out from the other horses, and stood some
five yards away, a picture of equine beauty and defiance.

With a wild, half human scream of rage, the two rushed at
each other.

In the meantime the bay's band had come into the open,
and the two mobs of horses stood perfectly still while their
lords and masters fought it out in the arena between them.

They reared and struck at each other like human prize"
fighters, and bit each other, holding on with bull-dog teuacity,
while the hair from their long manes was torn out in hand-
fulls. It was one of the finest struggles of any description I
ever saw, and I felt unspeakably disgusted when K gave the
signal "to horse,"

In a minute we were mounted, and before the startled
animals had recovered from the fright of our shouts and the
excitement of the right, we had the two mobs in fall gallop

towards the plain where our tame horses were, with all thiee
of us behind them riding for dear life.

I have ridden to hounds through many a hard ran, in all
sorts of countries, from the grasslands of Leicestershire to
the dikes of Holderness — but a wilder, fiercer ride than that
midnight gallop I never experienced.

Fortunately, I knew enough to give my horse, an old and
experienced stock animal, his head, but still I several times
narrowly escaped hitting my knees against the tree trunks
through which we were going at full speed. Moonlight is
very deceiving, and three or four times the only intimation I
got that there was any obstruction in our way was a bound
that my horse gave as he cleared some fallen tree or leapt
over some deep hole where the roots of some giant gam tree
had been torn from the ground.

About ten minutes of this dangerous riding brought us to
the plain, where our own horses were, and I hailed the 8'ght
of the open with joy.

A few of our prey had slipped away in the thick brush, but
we had still most of them rushed into the quiet horses, and
the whole mob heading for home at a breakneck pace.

In going over the two miles of plain, K got an ugly fall
which put him out of the race, and came nearly killing both
man and horse.

The intense heat had cracked the ground so, that there
were countless .fissures at short intervals from each other.
Into one of these K's horse put both forefeet and rolled over
like a shot rabbit, sending K five yards ahead of him. We
were all too excited to stop to see how much damage was
done, but as we Baw man and horse up again, concluded it
was not serious.

Again we were among the dense brush, this time tea and
wattle trees, with our horses in a compact band in front of
us and so far well under command, with our own going
strong and well under as I got terribly scratched about the
face and neck, and was heartily glad when we struck the
large open plain which lay before us and the stockyard.

In this plain we closed in on our horses and rushed the
pace. When, however, within sight of the stockyard a wild
stampede ensued, and theold wild horses seeing danger ahead
made desperate breaks for liberty. I made after the black
stallion bat could not tarn him as he would sooner ruu over
me than go the way I wanted, besides he had the foot of my
now tired bay. However we succeeded in yarding some
twenty head of mares, foals and two and three-year-olds.

When K. came limping up two hours lator leading his
lamed horse, he of course told us that had he been there he
would have had every horse in the yard; but we took what
he said with a liberal allowance of salt.

These clearskine are seldom of any account, are hard to
break and will years after return, if they have a chance, to
their old haunts and horses. They are the progeny of
horses that have years ago escaped into the bush aud in
breeding has demoralized them to such an extent that but
few of them are even decent specimens of horses. Some are
weedy leggy brutes with heads like coffins, and legs like
tooth-picks. Others are as long in the back as a boat, slack
in the loins and generally weak. W. L. Eye*.

San Francisco, April 1890.

The man wbo won most heavily over the Brooklyn
was generally supposed to be Johnny Campbell, but it has
since been stated that Bookmaker Pearsall, popularly known
as "Eole," had landed $75,000. He not only backed Castaway
II in the winter books at long oddB, but landed over $20,000
at the track on the day of tho race. Pearsall is a smooth-
faced quiet man of thirty-three or thereabouts, who doesn't
say much, but, like the owl, he does a heap of thinking at
times.

Our Tennessee Letter.
Editor Breedee and Sportsman:— Another week draws
as nearer to the renewal of the SuDurban Handicap, and as
the da}' diaws nearer, the interest in the race increases.
Many of the candidates are now receiving special preparations
for that event, and reports from many sound as if each one is
good enough to win. Tenny is being touted to death, as is
Longstreet, Fides, Sir Dixon, Salvator, and, althoughSenator
Hearst's Gorgo was said to be broken down, reports from
"the stable" say that Allen has her going well, and that after
suffering for some time with something like rheumatism, she
is now moving in a manner that makes the California turf-
man'B hopes brighten, and even all the stable-hands are said
to be moving about with an air of "Gorgo will Burely win the
Suburban." Well, maybe she will; but I doubt it.

Pulsifer has engaged Jimmy McLaughlin to pilot Tenny in
the Toboggan Slide and Suburban Handicaps, in the former
carrying 130 and the latter 124 pounds. The great jockey
now weighs 153 pounds, and I doubt if he can reduce to the
proper weight in time ior the Toboggan Slide, which will be
run before this has reached the readers of the Breeder and
Sportsman. Everyone kDows that Tenny has a world of
speed, but can he carry 124 pounds to victory against the
many speedy horses of his own calibre that he will meet at
less weights, to say nothing of the dozen or more good horses
that have slipped into the big handicap with from 90 to 110
pounds as an impost? Tenny is now favorite at 4 to 1 — the
shortest odds ever offered against any Suburban candidate
this loDg before the race.

Longstreet has not had a race yet, and no one except Mb
trainer and a few friends of the Dwyer's, know anything
about the horse that walked away from Proctor Knott and
Salvator at Monmouth last season. He is a Longfellow, and
as they improve each season, he may carry the silks of the
Brooklyn turfmen acroBs the plate winner.

Badge's form of late would lead one to think that the little
son of the Ill-Used was completely out of the race, and while
he now seems to be "stale" or "track-Bore," he may be resur-
rected in time to fight out the finish with the best of them.

On the Western circuit, only Maori, Sportsman and English
Lady suggest consideration as having a chance at the big all-
aged plum. If it te a heavy traok, and he startB, I doubt if
there is a Bingle horse engaged in the race can beat Sports-
man, as his impost is very light at 102 pounds.

Maori's race in the Duncan Hotel Stakes at Nashville,
where she drove RobeBpeirre out a mile in 1:43, and on a slow
track, has given her a world of following, and as her owner,
Nick Finzer, has his heart set on winning the Suburban, her
ehances are not to be hooted at.

English Lady's two races at Louisville has caused her being
backed from 100 to 1 down to 25 to 1, and her performance
in these two races was of Buch high class, I would think her
chances exceedingly rosy, and those who got their money on
her at 100 to 1, should feel very lucky. At Louisville she
won two good raoes, one at 1} miles, and the other the Ken-
tucky Oaks, 1} miles, both of which were won in a canter,
and from good horses. At Lexington she won at a mile in
1:423, ana her race there was won in the same manner. In
theBe three races she lead all the way under a pull, and won
without nourish of whip. She will carry 94 pounds in the
Suburban, and with her great turn of speed, she should be
able to run away from her Geld. Then it is said the Scog.
gans are keeping her for that event, and they think so much
of her chances, that Proctor Knott will remain in his stable
while other great horses are battling against the Scoggan
mare for the big prize.

Los Angeles is now said to be getting into fine form, and if
she is the Los Angeles of 13S8 and 1889, she will be "there
or there abouts." All to start, I look for them to finish in
this order: English Lady, Los Angeles and Tenny, while
Maori or Salvator may interfere, and cne or the other furnish
the place horses.

Latonia is now probably holding the best spring meeting
ever held at that course. Throughout the entire meetirg
the racing has been good, the betting spirited, and the atten-
dance large. The race of the meeting, the Derby, saw Riley,
Ed Corrigan'B Kentucky Derby and Clark Stakes winner
easily beaten by Bill Letcher, a Tenneseee-bred colt.

By the way, this reminds me of the great approaching
opening of the Washington Park (Chicago) meeting, on the
first day of whioh the Great American Derby is run. Cali-
fornia-bred horses have been singularly successful in captur-
ing this race, and a few weeks from now another Californian
may be added to the list of American Derby winners. Silver
Cloud, C. H. Todd, Emperor of Norfolk and Volante all
hailed from the golden-haired State on the Pacific, and only
twice — when Modesty and Spokane won— have horses from
other States carried off the Derby honors at Washington
Park. Isaac Murphy rode each of the four California colts
when they won this race, and it seems as if it is an agreement
for Murphy and California to win this event. ThiB year, how-
ever, it may be different. El Rio Rey, the Dride of the Pacifio
Slope, and who it was once thought had a moral cinch on
winning the Derby, is not the magnificent, strong and great
horse he once was, and now, I fear, he will never hear another
starter's dram tap. Still many say "Oh! that is all bosh
about his wind being affected, and he is sb good as ever."
Well, there is one thing sure, if El Rio Rey ever wins another
race— I mean a race that tests a horse's mind aDd staying
powers — it W!ll be a miracle, and something never performed
in this country or upon the EDglish turf before. Johnny
Campbell, good trainer and jockey that he is, I heard say
once: "Well, if you don't believe old Jim Gray can win, he

will show you when he starts." Jim Gray started, but what
could he do? Another like case is that of the great English
horse Ormonde. He Buffered as did El Rio Rey, and he
turned a "roarer." El Rio Rey is still at Nashville, as are all
of Mr. Winter's horBes. I only hope that I may be wrong in
my opinion of his condition, but after seeing and hearing
that grunting, peculiar noiBe of his when working, I am led
to believe that the greatest two-year-old that ever faced the
flag will not be Been upon the turf at three years old.

Ooher horses of the Winter string are doing well, and they
Bhonld be able to carry off many a good stake before they are
returned to winter quarters. Joe Courtney is a superb
trainer, and in him the Winter's stable has a master hBnd.

The New York plunger, Botay, is the heaviest bettor upon
the raceB in the West, and from his winnings of the last few
days, I judge the most successful. He plunged on Bill
Letcher in the Latonia Derby, and won upwards of $6,000
on that colt's defeat of Riley. He wound up that day by win-
ning 515,000 on four races, having back Melenie to win
$5,000, also. Botay is a professor of languages, and only a
Bhort time ago held a lucrative position in a noted New York
college. He gave up his class, however, for the charma of
the race course, and his advent as a plunger has been followed
by success. He is the "Pittsburg Phil" of the Western rac-
ing circuit. He is very cool and calculated, and gets informa-
tion from some source that has nearly always put him on the
right horse, Kennesaw.

The Home of Mambrino Wilkes.
A Fine Ciop of Foals-The San Hf^uel Brood Hares.

With all the conveniences that at present exiBt in regard
to railroad service, it is rather a difficult matter to pick out
a stock form which is not handy and close to a railroad and
yet there is a certain amount of pleasure in a long buggy
drive, especially when behind a pair of good trotters, that
cannot be derived in nny other way.

Last Friday morning aa early start was made for Oakland
where at the Webster Btreet station the writer was met by
Irvin Ayres, Esq., and we were soon on our way toward the
Contra Costa hills, our destination being the San Miguel
Stock Farm. Although there was a very heavy north wind
blowing, there were so many beantiful sights to witness that
'he unpleasantness of the morning was entirely overlooked.
Mr. Ayres has been for so many years closely connected
with the horse interests of this State that bis many reminis-
cences tended to make the time roll pleasantly by, and al-
though the up grade was considerable and the distance fully
twenty miles, we were little more than two and a half hours
in covering the distance.

Smith J. Hill is the superintendent and general manager
of Mr. Ayres' Farm and no better man could be had for the
place, he is ably assisted by quite a number of hands among
whom we found the old and well known horseman "Lige''
Downer whose face for many years has been a familiar one
on almost every traok in the State.

As was to be expected, in the inspection of the stock that
followed, the first shown was the well known Mambrino
Wilkes 6083, sire of Gus Wilkes 2:22, Alpheus 2:27, Balkan
three-year-old record 2:29} and Clara P. 2:29}. There can
be no question of doubt but what if Mambrino Wilkes had
received the same class of mares that are accorded to the
other members of the Wilkes family in Kentucky, that his
name would stand pre-eminent to-day as one of the leading
sires of the country; individually he cannot be beaten and it
is but little wonder that frequently eastern visitors to this
State make the loDg trip to the San Miguel Farm to take a
look at what was generally considered one of the best sons of
Old George Wilkes. The dam of Mambrino Wilkes was Lady
Chrisman by Todhunter's Mambrino out of a daughter of
Pilot, Jr. 12, the dam was brought to this Stite by young
Rufuslngalls, nephew of Gen. Rufus Ingalls at the same
time that he brought her son Mambrino Wilkes; the hcrse
was ultimately sold to Mr. A. L. Hinds of Oakland, who in
turn transferred him to the present owner. Mambrino
Wilkes was bred by Mr. B. J. Tracey of Ashland Park, Lex-
ington, Kentucky, and was brought to this State when very
young, he stood for one or more seasons at Stockton where
his get Is thought highly of and there can be no reasonable
doubt but what the fillies he left there behind him will play
a prominent part in the future breeding industries of this
State. It is fully a year since the writer saw the beantiful
black horse prior to this visit, and if anything he has im-
proved in appearance, having filled out well under the good
care which he receives. Quite a large number of his get
were Bhown us, and each and every one shows the Btrong
and marked characteristics of the s-re, all having fine
shoulders, good arms and splendidly finished legs. Gub
Wilkes, his son haB just been taken East by Dan. McCarthy,
where probably he will be sold as a gentleman's roadster
with a Btrong probability tbat the laat has been 6een of him
for turf use.

Balkan who as a three-year-old made his present record
will be campaigned this year, and although he has been very
ill with the prevailing epizootic that troubled all horses last
year and the year before, he is better to-day than ever he
was in his life, andcood judges do not hesitate to assert tha,
he will surely beat 2:20 this season. At a race at the Bay
District Traok in the fall of last year at the P. C. T. H. B.
A. meeting he was separately timed in a race with Direct and
Hazel Wilkes, he completing the mile in 2:22 which would
have been a splendid mark for a four-yeai-old, yet still with
the two performers he had against him it was impossible to

nsly
°ty

get a record commensurate with his merits. It is not long
ago that the Breeder and Sportsman called attention to the
exceedingly fine lot of brood mares owned by Mr. Ayres. It
is true there are many of them which would not be consid-
ered gilt edged by those who believe in fashion, yet still the
strong and marked individuality in each is apt to strike the
spectator; it seems as though each and every one had been
selected for its own strong points irrespective of pedigree
and yet there are many of them that are producing mares
and Mr. Ayres fully believes in the theory of S. A. Brown
of Kalamazoo, who in an interview a short time ago stated
that he wasn't very much stuck on pedigrees but did like |
producing mares.

One of the best of the maies to be seen was Annie Laurie,
three-year-old record 2:30, who was formerly owned bv Win.
Smith of San Gabriel Mission, California. She is by Echo,
dam Black Swan by California Ten Brceck, iB a handsome
bay, 15:3 in height, and was foaled in 1877; she has a mag.
nificent foal at her side by Mambrino Wilkes, who for looks
oan compare favorably with any suckling in the Sta'e
great big 6ne fellow, he is a credit alike to sire and dam,
should make a good name for both.

Contra is a bay mare eleven years old formerly owned by
Gen. D. D. Colton, she is by Electioneer, dam Mrs. Newby
by Billy Cheatham, son of Cracker by Boston; this well bred
matron is proud in the possession of a handsome foal fl
Mambrino Wilkes, it is as beautiful as a picture and cainbi:
jng the Wilkes and Electioneer blood should prove able
go any distance and be as fast as the best.

Fanny Fern is noted a3 being the dam of Mollie Dre'
2:27, Balkan who has been spoken of before, Fred Arnol
2:331 and Onyx who has a trial record of 2-40, all of her
foals have proven speedy and if Balkan does not eerionsl'
disappoint all who know him, she will be much more nol
before the season passeB than she is now; Fanny Fern is
the old thoroughbred, Jack Hawkins who was the Eire of the
dam of Echora 2:23} (dam of Direct 2:18},) Fanny Fern's
dam was one of the Jim Crow mares brought to this Slate
many years ago from Tennessee, and while all of her progeny ij
have been fast and successful trotters, she cannot show a
drop of anything but thoroughbred blood.

Another of the mares to command attention was Narka
with a haDdsome foal at foot by Mambrino Wilkes; Narka is
by Nephew 1220, dam Baby by Chieftain 721, Narka is one
of the individually good mares, in addition to her exquisite
breeding, and the strong, stout trotting lines which flow
through her, should make her successful as a brood mare,

Fredolia is a handBome black mare 15} hands high, si
years old bred by Henry Beech of San Joaquin County, Ci
ifornia, her sire is Fred Arnold and her dam was by Mam.
brino Wilkes, out of the Beech mare, although by some
it might be considered inbreeding, Fredolia was bled to Mam-
brino Wilkes and has a very handsome foal by that horse.
the little thing is jet black, strong and powerfully built and
is a "sure enuugh" trotter now.

Old Fancy has nol proved in foal this year and she yet
carries her fourteen years as gracefully as could be wished;
the beholder is apt to be reminded of Old Belmont when
looking at Fancy, as she bears a very Btrong imprint of the
Williamson horse; Fancy is by Bonner, a son of Whipple's
Hambletonian, dam Sophia by Belmont; Fancy is noted as
being the dam of Gas Wilkes 2:22, who has it in him to go
much faster than bis record.

Fan is the dam of Patchwork, trial 2:30 and Cricket with
a public record of 2:32 and a public trial of 2:27.

Piracy is a beautiful bay mare six years old by Buccaneer
dam Louise by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr.

Satsuma is by The Grand Moor, dam by Wisahickom (she
of the dam of Lord Byron 2:18,) and is as handsome a mare
as one could find on sdv farm in the country; combining as
she doeB the blood of The Moor, Mambrino Patchen and
Hambletonian, is it any wonder that she should throw a
handsome foal to the cover of Mambrino Wilkes? Theie
are many visitors who are inclined to the belief that the fcal
of this year out of Annie Laurie is the best on the place tut
after a critical examination the writer is tempted to declaie
in favor of SatBuma's foal which is one of the handsomest
suckliDgB seen this year, a large intelligent head well set on
a splendidly arched neck, a good set of shoulders, baok and
loins that cannot be beaten, coupled extremely well, a good
etof legs and it is a handsome all-round foal this mare is

am- „.

the

mother of.

The yearlings at San Miguel are a fine hardy looking lot
■ id are being worked each day on the track under the guid-
ance of Mr. Hill; there are about a half dozen of them alto
gether and it will be extremely hard luck if some of them do
not become noted in days to come. Many of Mr. Ayres*
youngsters are entered in the Occident, Stanford, Breeder
and Sportsman Futurity and the Oakland Futurity and "tilli
6uch a rare lot of good ones in the crop of this year there
is no question but what some of them will add additional
luster to the name of Mambrino Wilkes.

Daylight in the morning found us ready to start back,
having made careful note of all the improvements whioh have
been made since our last visit, notes of which advantag
will be taken in the future when additional articles are writ-
ten about this farm. To those who are inierested in the
trotting horse industry we tender iuvitation to visit tbiB
well laid ont Stook Farm. Mr. Ayres will be glad at any
time to meet those who are devotees of the light harness
horse and we can assure our readers that it would be a hard
matter to suggest a more pleaBant visit than one to the horns
of Mambrino Wilkes.

THE FARM.

Can We Grow Beef Profitably on High-
priced Land?

Slip-Shod Handlers of Scrubs.— So long as the beef mar-
ket needs a float, and Wisconsin owns men who hope to
foster a profit dollar, slip-shod handlers of scrub stock may
join hands and fortunes with Milwaukee's almon-eyed citi-
zens and "take a walk". It is with fear and trembling that
I pronounce the fatal word *'scrub." It is like unfurling a
red rag before Mexico's idol. Some wise individual is wont
to epring to his feet and carry an assemblage from the wind-
ing paths of the sage-bruBh plains to the Arabian sands in a
vain and inglorious search for a thoroughbred. This blooded
solon who is idigenous to the stamping grounds of agricul-
tural societies and state institutes, feels keenly that if he can
command the attention of one man in an audience of 2, COO
for ten minutes, he has the unbounded gratitude of the re-
maining 1,999, whose ten minutes each represent about. three
dajs'iime. Suffice it to say that we mean a class of cattle
that does not grow poor from dragging about what they eat.

A Lesson from Loiv Market8.~-ln our opinion the low
market referred to is of value to Wisconsin ieeders who are
not driven from the business. The man who jumps from
ione line to another when he sees a red fUg flaunted over his
linarket, deserves but little sympathy, It is well that the
leteinal fitness of things gives him a low price in his new
venture just when he gets ready to tarn off the largest pro-
duct. When the low market does come, the intelligent
feeder and business man doeB not waste his vitality in try-
in0 to raise prices by grumbling about the times, but imme-
diately turns his attention to producing an article at less
cost.

* Wasting Forage, — The severe drought of two years since
drove the truth home that Wisconsin farmers had been wast
ing nearly enough forage to carry the stock through the
Winter. Men of straitened circumstances fell down on thtir
liknees to a corn stalk, and lifted their hatsrtspectlully when
'.hey saw a straw stack.

[ Feeding Steers for the Block. — One who contemplates feed-
ing steers for the block need go to no great expense. We
Venture a maxim here. When no one wants au article, buy.

1 Hints on Feeding C'aloes. — A calf should be taken from

he dam at two days of age. It is unwise to withhold the

,rst milk of the mother from the calf. The calf should get

I ?hole milk for one week, and then skim-milk may be intro-

I need by degrees, thus getting him on Bkim-milk entirely

I rhen two weeks old, and none the wiser for the change.

I ome may say that wiser is not applicable to a calf. Calves

I ave been known to play with a feeder, and take every trick.

1 'he trouble is, we try to feed calves when they are not

I ungry. Then, too, many have a blind idea that a calf can

i raw milk through a finger. It is an easier operation to

robe the finger. Give the calf two fingers, and we have a

liaohine, as good for the purpose as a nursing tube.

I About the time the calf is on skim-milk entirely, whole

I its placed before him will stick to his nose, and he uneon-

I liously learns to eat. The ration of oats should be increas-

1,1 to keep pace with the assimilation. Another advantage

I i feeding oats is that, in eating them, saliva is absorbed,

I '.id he never gets that pernicious habit of pulline another

I It's ear. A calf shows best treatment when ftd three times

llday. Two or three quarts of milk will answer.

I Fresh water should be within easy reach. A calf will do

I )tj.er turned in a lot without a blade of grass, than he will

t i the freshest of pasture. A shed from the sun and a lock

l dry hay are essential to rapid development. Milk should

I it be fed sour or cold. The finger is a good thing with

raich to point out neighbors' faults, but does not serve well

Ira thermometer. One can get along with his wife much

1 Iter by heating water than he can by burning milk to the

I ttom of a kettle. A kettle of boiling water will raise

ough milk to blood heat to feed twenty-five calves. More

Ives are spoiled by over-feeding than by starving.

The oat ration should be continued until the calves are a

ar old and turned to grass. Feed milk as loDg as you have

in the fall. Calves that are intended for the block, should

* Jver be introduced to a stanchion.

Sheds— Dehorning - Stables.— A good shed, liberal bedding

ltd liberty, make a good match for fat calves. Ensilage,

tit straw and bran or oats make a growing ration for year-

1] 0Q Horns should be taken off before turning to grass, in

ring, when one year old. Upon reaching eighteen months,

i ers should be fed in barn or shed with no floor. If the

l nger is raised two and one halt feet above the flooi, it is

it good economy to clean the stables from fall to spring.

: ]ire straw can be converted into manure in this manner

finishing for Market.— -When warm weather comes, the
ctte can be finished for the June market on corn and grass
t2orn and enBilage. Too muoh trouble? Do you know of
Bribing that is too much trouble for your acquaintance?,

■ i hey can see money in it? If treated as suggested, these
8 3rs will weigh twelve hundred pounds, and are just what
k 76TS want.

$■■ <osi4 what is the cost? A calf will drink twenty hundred

zt onilk which, at twenty cents, is four dollars. He will eat

firteen bushels of oats, which, at thirty cents, is four dollars
." a twenty centF, and one dollar and eighty cents of dry for-
[L' a making a cost of ten dollars. A ton of ensilage in the

If worth. He will eat ten bushels of oats, or three dollars,
. ii dng a total cost, at one year, of fifteen dollars. Tbe ren
lJl tt of a good acre of pasture is five dollars, which will sup-
Li' pttwo yearlingB, or two dollars and fifty cents. A steer
<■& c ting two years will eat six tons of ensilage, or Bix dollars,
-, nting a total cost when he goes on grass, at two years, of

■ ', Bimteen dollars and fifty cents. A steer of two years, on
i:" g s will eat ten cents worth of corn, per day, for ninety

d *,'or nine dollars. An acre of good pasture will support
■'■ t' steers, fed on corn at the same time, for ninety days,
w on, at five dollars per acre rental, is one dollar and twenty-
oents, making a total cost of thirty-three dollars and
inty-five cents. One hundred and sixty acres of good
land will carry twenty pilch cows and turn off fifty

Sioine — Shorthorns. — Steers should be fed whole corn to
finish them. While fed on corn the cattle shonld always be
followed by shotes or breeding sows. By careful selection
and good treatment, cows can be readily found among the
Shorthorns that will give two hundrad to two hundred and
fifty pounds of butter: and although I have seen raving
maniacs among Jersey, Guernsey and Fblstein men, I have
never found one who was so thoroughly demented as to
advocate throwing that amount of butter away, even if it did
oome from the patient Shorthorn, that animal which has
done more to eduoate and enrioh the English speaking people
than all other breeds combined. — H. C. Thorn, in Shorthorn
Gazette.

A New Zealand Mode of Making Butter.

When some time ago it was discovered in New Zealand
that cream buried in the ground for 25 hours was converted
into butter without the trouble of churning, the discovery
jvas heartily welcomed, more particularly by cow-keepers in
a small way with one or two milkers, as saving a large
amount of labor which generally fell on the shonlders of
housewives, already sufficiently burdened. That any one,
however, suspected the rationale of the change did not ap-
pear in the public prints at the time, nor, as far as I am
aware, since; most persons who thought at all on the sub-
ject imagining, I fai oy, a correspondent of the British Ma 1
r marks, that temperature had something to do with it. Mr.
James W. Graham, of Waiorongamai, like the rest, buried
his cream to save the trouble of churning it, but being nat-
urally disposed to pry into the wherefore of things was led
to question the temperature theory. Pressure seemed the
only other oondition of change present, and by repeated ex-
periments with various degrees of pressure, and at various
temperatures, from a cool room to out in the December sun,
pressure was fully proved the only condition. Not only so,
bat constant pressure was found to bring the butter in an
honr instead of the 24 reqnired by the burial process, and
as in it all the cream is converted into butter, there is thus
no less of butter-milk, while the quality of the butter is re-
markably g"od. Mr. Graham has just patented his inven-
tion, and will in a short time be prepared to supply his but-
termakers at a low figure — the holidays having delayed their
manufacture for the present. As the machine can be prac-
tically of any reasonable capacity, and may be worked by
hand, horse, steam, or any other power, it is equally suit-
able for the factory, and for the owner of a single cow. As
it is simple and inexpensive, and reduces the time of but-
termaking to an hour, while the application of the pressure,
washing and working the butter, require in all but a few
minutes' work, the inventor will no doubt reap a rich reward
for cultivating a habit of not taking things as granted.

Montana Cattle Brands.

Rules and regulations for recording brands and maika in
the state of Montana, and by the board of stock commiss-
ioners, March 22, 18S7, under authority conferred upon them
by law, approved March 9th, 1S87:

1. For the purpose of recording brands and marks, ani-
mals shall be divided into the following classes:

1. Cattle.

2. Horses, mules and asses.

3. Sbeep, swine and goats.

2. All persons making application for recordings, brands
snd marks shall designate the class or classes for which said
mark or brand is to be used.

3. No mark or brand shall be recorded that in any man-
ner conflicts with any other brand or mark on record.

4. A person recording a brand will be permitted to use
the brand on one side only of the animal, and only one place
for original brand, and one place for vent of same.

5. In order to transfer title to animals bearing recorded
brands, the party selling shall vent, or cause to be vented,
the brand same as original brand, but may be the same brand
reduced not more than one-half in size and on the same side
of the animal as original brand.

6. The addition of a bar, a letter, a figure, or a character
to an existing recorded brand, in the same position and 6ame
side of animal, Bhall be considered an infringement on the
prioiity of said brand, and shall not be recorded.

7. No individual or corporation shall be allowed to rec-
ord for use upon the Montana ranges more than one brand
for horses.

Preventing Trouble at Calving.

Wo often read directions how to prevent milk fever, says
the Stockman and Farmer, retention of the placenta, etc.
Some advise the giving of drugs of various kinds, while oth-
ers advise a special line of feeding; the latter we think the
only correct way of obviating trouble. As to what shall be
fed, opinions differ; one old farmer said he always fed
short corn to his cows for a few weeks before calving, and
never had any eases of milk fever or other disease to contend
with. Others feed whole oats, others bran, and so on. Our
own practice has been to feed bran and linseed meal for three
or four weeks before the cows are due to calve, and we attrib-
ute our freedom from trouble at calving in great part to this
course of feeding. In summer when on grass, no grain feed
is required, provided the cow's bowels are in a healthy con-
dition. Here is wheie the danger lies, according to our ob-
servation— in constipation or a tendency to that condition.
Keep the bowels in a healthy stale, give sufficient feed to
beep up the strength of the cow, feed lightly and with laxa-
tive feed for a few days after calving, and there will rarely
be occasion to doctor a sick cow.

"Judicious laziness" is what most farmers want a little
more of. Not time for loafing and idle talk, but rest from
hard work that their brains may be rested and clear to think
and plan better. I suppose some of the old people will think
that I am preaching a bad doctrine to our boys, but I know
from personal experience that it is true. Not many years
ago, and with a mortgage on the farm, I borrowed money to
pay my expenses to horiicultural meeting and those of our
State Board of Agriculture, and ev3n to go off and visit oth-
er farms. I used tbe opportunities I got for my money. I
remembered what I s*w and beard, and the farm is improved
the mortgage is paid, aDd I am able to live comfortably and
well. To-morrow I intend to visit an intelligent fruit grower,
of whom I think lean learn something mor*. I still prao-

Clydesdales are Pare Bred.

Breeders are Making Preparation* for au Exhibit at
the World's Fair.

At a meeting of the American Clydesdale Association,
which was held recently, the following resolutions were
adopted :

Whereas, The prime object of the Amerioan Clydesdale As-
sociation is to preserve accurate records cf the padigreeB of
well bred Clydesdale horses, as well as to encourage the im-
provement in quality and breeding of the same ; and

Whereas, There is every probability that the World's Fair
of 1892 will be held at Chicago, oonceded to be the most ac-
cessible point for the great majority cf the prominent breed-
ers of Clydesdale horees to exhibit their stock: and

AVhereas, An exhibition of Clydesdale horses held in con-
nection with the World's Fair of 1892 will enable breeders to
widely advertise the superiority of this breed of draft horses,
and

Whereas, The members of this association have resolved
to make the exhibition of Clydesdale horses to be held in
connection with the World's Fair of 1892, both in extent and
superior quality of the display, most creditable to the breed
and of the greatest possible benefit to all interested in the
s ime; therefore be it

Resolved, That it is the sense of the Executive Committea
of the American Clydesdale Association tkit $5,000 in cash
prizes be offered by this organization in addition to the
premiums offered the breed by the general managers of the
World's Fair of 1S92, said $5,000 to be awarded to members
of this association exhibiting at said show the best specimens
of Clydesdale horBesof their own breeding,

Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed to devise
and report to this association* at the next annual meeting
the classification of prizi s, the conditions that should govern
the awards of this association and other matters in connec-
tion with the Clydesdale exhibit at the World's Fair of 1S92,

Resolved, That the Secretary of this association be and is
hereby instructed to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolu-
tions to each member of this organization, with a request for
suoh suggestions as will tend to make the proposed exhibition
of the greatest possible benefit to the Clydesdale interest in
America.

Breeding Mares.

The failure to get mares with foal is becoming a serious
question, says the Western Farm Journal, with the small
farmer who keeps only mares to do hiB work. As a mare can
almost as easily raise a colt as not, her failure to breed is a
direct loss, and often quite a considerable one. It is the
nature of a mare to breed, and if she does not, the failure is
usually from one of three reasons: First, she is not healthy;
second, proper care has not been exercised in taking her to
and from the horse; third, the horse is either impotent, or is
poorly fed and cared for. Probably three-fourths of the fail-
ures may be attributed to the second reason given. Not
many farmers desire to have colts come in March; mo6t of
them prefer April or May. This throws the breeding of the
mare in May and June, during the preefcing work of the year,
when every moment is valuable, and when the mare is dis-
covered to be in heat, the idea is to get her to the horse and
be back in the field as quickly as possible. The horee is
allowed to serve her while Bhe is still warm from trotting to
the stand, and immediately after service she is driven home
and worked the rest of the day. It is very difficult to get a
mare in foal in this way. After the service she should be
tred away by herself for an hour or two, then driven home at
a slow walk and left alone in the stable until the next dV y. A
little care the first trip will save many other tripB. It seems
as if it would be better to begin breeding early in April, when
work does not push so, and when the horse does not have eo
much work to do. To be sure, a colt coming in March mast
have a warm place, but after it is a day or two old it is as
hardy as a calf, and will grow right along.

It sometimes happens that a horse is not a reasonably sure
foal getter, and in this case tbe only remedy is to withdraw
and breed to another horse. It is more frequently the own-
er's fault than the horse's. Patrons of a horse should insist
that he be regularly exercised. Some mares will breed only
every other year, suckling affecting the reproductive organs,
and some mares will not come in heat nt all while suckling a
colt. In some cases this cannot be remedied, and the only
thiDg to do is to get rid of the mare. With other mares the
carelessness of the owner in not trying to get her with foal,
and persistent breeding will sometimes overcome it. With
shy breeders a very good plan is to allow the horpe to give
two services at an interval of two or three hours, and at the
latter part of the heat. The owner of the stallion will usu-
ally rather do this than have the mare coming back duriDg
the entire season. It frequently happens that old mares will
"close up," sometimes within three or four weeks after foal*
ing. In such a case an operationshould be performed by the
keeper of the stallion before allowing the horse to serve. In
case a mare fails to get in foal after one or two services, it is
well to have her examined and see if the pas age is cloeed. It
is usually better to breed old mares to a two-year-old horFe.
In rare caseB a mare will take the horses after being safe in
foal, but usually no damage results from this. Tbe Bafest
plan is to breed on the ninth clay after foaling, and t'y again
about the twenty-eighth day after foaling; passing Ibis inter-
val without taking the horse, a mare may usually be consid-
ered safe in foal.

A Stallion Club.

In unity there is profit aB well as strength. What better
plan for tbe improvement of horse stock could be taken than
to form a horse club in your community? This is done in
some places with gratifying results. A number of farmers
form a co-operative association, advance enough money to
pay for a first-class stallion, and charge a reasonable fee for
his service. This fee is paid the same ns if tbe horse
belonged to an outsider, and non-members are allowed to
breed, if the club is not too large, on payment of the regular
fee. The keeping of the horse generally costs little cash
outlay, some member being willing to care for him in con-
sideration of services rendered for keeper. It iB a good plan
to have the itallion insured, so tbat there will be no danger
of Iosb. A recent English paper gave an account of an asso-
ciation of this kind whose club horse, during a period of
four years, paid for himsflf and gave a dividend to the mem-
bers of the club of about 30 per cent, on the money originally
advanced — all this without counting the improvement made
in the stock in that commuoity, There is no reason why
this cannot be done in many aeotions where good horses do
not abouud or held above the reach of tbe average brfted.

The agricultural pavilion at Salinas has been enlarged and
there is now an elegant commodious structure capable of
accommodating innumerable sight-seers and exhibitors.

There are sixteen colored jockeys in the country who are
paid from $2,500 to $8,000 a year, but not a colored minister
in the United States receives one-half of the lesser of these
sums.

Green B. Morris last week sold to G. R. TompkinB the
chestnut horse Taragon, aged 5 years, by Stratford, out of
Tara. The price is stated to be in the neighborhood of
$5,000 or $6,000.

Imp Hearst by Fergus 1st out of Romping Girl, who was im-
ported by J. K. Newton and sold last year in New York, was
killed in a collision with Gallas Dan and Gyda at Brighton
Beach, on May 30th.

John Mackey, Rancho Del Paso's Superintendent, left last
Monday at 12-30. with a special train containing 06 yearlings
for New York. They will go to Hunt's Point and be sold on
the 16th, in the city.

Messrs. Kelly & Samuels' Pliny is doing well in Denver.
In addition to winning the Colorado Derby he carried a pen-
ally and readily won the Mountain Stakes, running the mile
with 124 lbs. up in 1:44}-

Mr. John Madden's black mare by Kentucky Prince, dam
Suisun, 2;25i, by Electioneer, foaled a tine colt foal by
Stamboul 2:12}, at Warren Park last week. This one is
purely "in it" as to the purple.

The report that Gov. Merriam of Minnesota had purchased
Lady Bullion, 5-y6ar-old, record 2:18}. is a mistake. She
has been bought by Bud Doble from R. Kingman, Battle
Creek, Mich., and will be campaigned by him.

Mr. F. S. Waters, of Chicago, wbb making the rounds last
week. If we owned such a horse as Faustino, we would
want to look at hm all the time says the Terra Haute Ex-
press. Faustino was Count Valensin's crack yearling.

Zoraya, by Guy Wilke3, dam Neluska by Sultan, the $13,-
000 purchase of Messrs. Stoner & Clay, is now enjoying the
luxuriant bluegraBS at Marchmont. Her colt by the great
Stamboul is doing nicely- She will be bred to Anteo 2:16}.

At the Dext meeting of the English Jockey Club to be held
at Newmarket on the first of July, Lord Lascelles will move
to add to rule 47: "Not more than one handicap per day
for three-year-olds and over, of less than one mile shall be
ran.

Timothy Angliu of Glenervon Farm, Lexington, Ky., has
sold to Gerhard Lang of Baffalo, N. Y.% the bay yearling colt
by Wilkes Boy, dam Josie, by the King, for $6,000. Mr.
Lang also bought a suckling brother to the yearling for $2,-*
000.

Billy Dowliog, of Decatur III., has arrived at Terre Hante
with Carrie Walton, 2:22£, by Governor Sprague. This is the
mare J. I. Case recently offered $10,000 for. Rumor has it
she is very fast and that 2:16 will be near her mark before
that the season is over.

Each week shows notable improvement in the condition of
the Helena track. Horsemen are well pleased with the prog-
ress made, and are daily showing more speed to those who
viBit the grounds in the mornings. The inside pole around
the track is about completed.

Gillette, "the black whirlwind" of the Blue Grass region,
wears only 14 ounce shoes forward and 3^ ounces behind;
Dr. Sparks 2;25i, at two years, wears 6} ounces forward and
3 onnces back, and the fast two-year-old Snip Nose weais 8
ounces forward and 3 ounces back.

Bouita keens winning every now and again in good com-
pany in the West as she has for several years. Mr. Bald-
win probably regrets the day he sold the more than useful
ha f lister to Lucky B. and observing "a la William Daly" that
she would make a good buggy mare.

Reina and Betsy Brown, were driven last week at Terra
Hante by Budd Doble to a skeleton wagon a half mile in
1:0SJ, last quarter in 33i seconds, a 2.14 clip. This is re-
markable Rpeed for this season of the year. The trial mile
record of Maud S. and Aldine, made in 1883, was 2:15£.

A blind man, guided by a boy, is a daily attendant at the
Eastern races. He was quite successful in his speculations
one day, and was heard to remark Dn the way to the train
that he never "saw" such good racing. Evidently he viewed
the contests through a pair of dollars and cents glasses.

Hngh Kirkendall's trotting stallion, Procrastination,
reached Helena yesterday from Spokane, where he has been
in training. Ed. Lafl'erty with the rest of Mr. Kirkendall's
stable leaves Spokane next week and goes direct to Helena.
He will not stay over for the Portland meeting as previously
announced.

Dr.Aby.the Guenoc Stock Farm's Manager, says that
their Agricultural District Association will have a whooping
fair this yoar. By the way the genial Doctor is still more im-
pressed with his grand stallion St. Saviour since his brother
Eon's good form and Russell's good races. Both horses are
by Eolus — the king of the mud.

"I consider Axtell t* be the best-gaited horse living.'' re-
cently observed John Splan. "His gait is the poetry of trot-
ting action. The man who conld ever watch the bend of
his knee, the fold of his fetlocks, without being awakened to
a sense of perfection of movement unsurpassed has no pre-
ception of the beauty in art or nature."

The Rancho del Paso catalogues of theyparling sale arrived
last Wedoesday evening and are remarkable for the plain,
straightforward accaunt of each of the youngster's ancestors,
and the carefully arranged tabulated pedig-ee of each of the
dams. The stallions are all tabulated in the front of the
pamphlet which is the most complete ever got up in America.

A wild horse, or what appears to be one, was recently cap-
tured at Horse Landing. Fla. A stockman was heiding cat-
tle and drove the pony among them, and so got him into a
pen. A faint brand mark is visible, but otherwise the animal
appears to be perfectly wild, as much so as a deer, and it is
probable that it has been herding with the cattle for a num-
ber of years.

The first State Fair of the Montana Agricultural, Mineral
and Mechanical Association will be held in Helena next
August. Secretary Pope says that the mineral exhibit will
be exceptionally fine, and that the horse and cattle exhibits
will be up to the usual standard of excellence. The entries
in tbe colt races have been very large, and it is expected that
all Montana will be there.

Alcazar 2:20}, purchased this spring by theUihlien Bros, of
Milwaukee, Wis., has held one uninterrupted reception
since his arrival, and several times over one hundred horse-
men from various parts of the country have paid their re-
spects to the son of Sultan and Minnehaha in one day. His
keok for this Beason was immediately filled, and that of next
year is rapidly becoming so.

Eoglish turfites, in the shape of bookmakers, jockeys, etc.,
are clearing out from Buenos Avres, as not being the El
Dorado it at first promised to horsemen. The native hidalgos
pay big prices lor foreign bred horses; but there is little en-
thusiasm in their sporting proclivities generally; indeed,
pigeon shooting, coekfighting and bullfighting have all been
put down by the strong hand of the law.

Last week Mr. Dave Cox secured, at Terre Haute photo-
graph* of Sunol, Palo Alto, Johnston, Adonia, Jack, Faus-
tino, Fred Arthur, Hendryx, So Long. Gertrude Russel,
M'liss, Nutrell and a group consisting of Nutmeg and rive
of hiR colts, Those of Sunol, Palo Alto, Johnston, Adonis,
and Faustino, were for Artist Cory, of Clark's Horse Re-
view staff, who intends getting up a full page cut of these
flyers, grouped around Axtell.

The newly formed Oakland Driving Park Club held their
UBual weekly meeting at the Trotting Park laBt week on
Thursday, instead of Saturday. In the future they will
meet every Saturday, and judging from the Btyle in which
they turned out last week and on previous occasions, the
club is an un-doubted success.

The Rose fever baa, sajs The Terre Haute Express, com-
pelled President Ijams to seek the raiiried air of Colorado.
His absence during the race week is much to be regretted,
as the association not only loses his services as a starter,
at which he U unexcelled, but his many qualities which ere
of such valuable assistance toward a success. He baB, how-
ever, secured a first-class starter. Mr. T. Woodmartin, from
Philadelphia, and will leave the other duties in capable
hands.

Speaking ot one of the latest recruits to the English.Turf in
Baron Hirsch, the owner of Vasistas, The sporting man on
"Truth" says this "worthy financier was very astute in his]
dealings with the Turkish Government, but on the Turf he
is as much out of his element as a trout on a gravel walk, !
and the wrongs of the Porte appear likely to be thoroughly f
avenged on what Lord Beac'OHsfield described as the "plains
of Newmarket."

The clubs of the Manitoba and Northwestern Racing Cir*l

The Morris' two-year-olds are almost invincible. Russell is j
running in tremendous form, and after his race in the mud foil!
the great American stake Phil. Dwyer said: "There's the beet II
colt I've seen in niiny a day," Mr. Dwyer don't usually eu-K

out of Tillie Russell, and is a full brother to Harry Russell and!

and sold as a yearling to Messrs. J. A. aad A. H. Morris.

"The blanketing, drawing fine, and work which Georg<
M. Patchen had to undergo was terrible" was the recent re
mark of John Splan in conversation with Budd Doble. "Al
one time matched to go under saddle, he was reduced fort;
pounds in one week, and on the day of the race did uot havl
as much flesh as a canary bird carries. You rode him in th<
race, Budd: he was drawn so fine that his sides were gluec
together. He was on fire at the end of the first heat, auc
was much distressed, but he had wonderful recuperativi
powers."

An exchange sayR: The ringing business has begun early
At Holyoke, May 17th, the bay gelding wbb protested, man

Such is the rush for the Galopiu blood that the yon
English stallion, King Galop, imported by Mr. Howland, t
now at Mr. Clay'a Iroquois Stud in Kentucky, has hiy bo
full. Mr. Clay says he has been compelled to refuse quit*
number of mares. King Galop is the only Galopin stall"
in Kentucky, aul his breeding on the side of his dam is ve
high, tracing directly to Sunbeam, the mare who won the'
Leger for Mr. Merry in 183S. In fact, he aDd Galore are t
only Galopin stallions in the country, and St. Simon's t)i
cess with Signorina, Sernoftna and Memoir, as well as G
Hard'n success, shows that the sons of Galopin are likely
continue the stud triumphs of the old hero.

Nearly all of the Eastern turf journals have been rep

I see the New York Spirit says that on May 15th at Louis-
ville. T. Hazlitt's bf Louise 4 by KyrleDaly — Nigbthawk 100.
Allen, won the Fiozer Bros, purse, $400, for maidens all ages.
Louise M b m (4 Kyrle Daly — Nighthawk) on January 9th
and January 14th this year won races at Los Angeles,
, while last year she won the Vestal stakes at the Blood Horse
1 Fall Meeting. Probably the Spirit is mistaken in the mare,
for Goodwin's Guide says it was F. B. Harper's LouiBa
Forest.

i Mr. Lowther is, says a writer in England, much ex-
lercised in his mind because certain black sheep who have
1 been warned off the Tarf have gone out to Buenos Ayres,
where they have succeeded in obtaining lucrative engage-
ments. Tbe trainer of the famous Ormonde is one of these,
laod Kellett, who rode Acme when he was killed, is warned
off both the French and English Turf. I think that Mr. Low-
Ither desires a sort of extradition treaty with the Republic of
i the Argentine. There is so mucb jealousy of the English
lout there that I doubt whether the Jockey Club of that
jcountry will enter into working arrangements with the Jock-
ey Club here.

| Speaking of big horses, says the New York Sun, that other
young giant, King Thomas, has fined down into a noble look-
ing racer. Last year he was, perhaps, a trifle gross for the
(critics, but now no such fault can be found. And, in addi-
tion to tbat, h- is going great guns in bis work, his disposi-
tion being much improved since he and Hamilton parted
company. With Hayward, whose hands are marvellous, to
i handle him, King Thomas will give a good account of him-
(feelf this year. Totirnament, Ballarat and Anaconda in the
[same string are all doing well and taking their work regular-
lv under Mr. Allen's careful eye. Anaconda is a maiden, and
iB nice time a man woald have hunting up a maiden able to
give him a race.

| The Terre Haute Express says:— The Doble, Hieock. Mar-
lpin Hill, Sbuler, etc., stables not having early engagements,
tare still at slow work, repaating in from 2:40 to an oucasional
i, "pipe opener" for an eignth or quarter. The visitors from
ibroad and the city continue to be many. Mr. Marvin is a

ittie early with Snnol, and not many have got to see her
■worked. He is not doing much with any of his stable, and

t will be some little time before a fifth second watch will be
heeded to catch the quarters. Monterey, in Hickok's stable,
f^y his way of going, is doing much to confirm the belief that
fc when he is turned loose, it will take more than a green horse
Lo head him. Pricce "Warwick, in the same stable, is about
Ijhe thing we are all trying to get, "a rare good one."

: The Aberdeen line steamship Damascus left Sydney on
March 29th for Loudon, via the Cape, with the Australian
handidatea for the Eoglisn classic races of 1891 and 1892. The
Loungeters are Wentworth, a brown colt; Nepeau, a bay colt;
Lions. Meg, a bay filly; and a bay colt, half brother to Cran-
forook and Kirkham, by Martini-Henry from La Princesse.
► •Jepean and Wentworth are engaged in the Two Thousand
ISuineas, the Derby, and tbe St. Leger of 1891. Mons. Meg's
iDgagements include the One Thousand Guineas, the Oaks,
f\nd the St. Leger for the Bame season, and the Martini-Henry
li-La Princesse colt is to appear among tbe entries for the
[uassic races of 1892. Should the Damascus have fine weather
t he would most probably reach Plymouth last Monday.

R. E. Bybee, Portland, Ore., writes me that he has not
sold Billow (tbe dam of Eclipse) to Mr. Haggin. "He says: I
still own her; she has a very fine filly foal, bay with small
star, right forefoot white; it is by St. Paul, he by Alarm, dam
Lady Salyers by Longfellow. She has been bred this year to
Oregon, he by Monday, dam Planetia by Planet; 2d dam La
Henderson." My informant understood Mr. Haggin had
bought her, but the sale evidently did not come off.

The St. Louis Republic, describing the race for the Tobog-
gan Slide, says: The race almost from the start lay between
Fides and Geraldine, tbe last named showing her heels to the
field until the end of half a mile. Then Hamilton 6ent Fides
along and collaring Geraldine opposite the lower portion of
the stand, a desperate race ensued. Geraldine stopped per-
ceptibly when MoCarthy struck her with the whip, and
Fides won tbe prize by a length. Blue Rock easily van-
quished the others, and was a very close third. Strideaway
got off last, but was one of the dangerous elements at the dip
by the elm tree. The pace, however, killed him, as it did
the others, Sunday, the horse from the West that was said to
be a world-beater at the distance, and worth another trick
from the uncurried territory, never being able to keep up the
merry clip Geraldine and Fides set from the drop of the flag.
Tormentor ran a good race, finishing fourth, and imported
Delmar will do to remember, the Australian colt showing a
rare burst of speed at the half. We all know how good Fides
is now. and old tarfmen may well shake their heads and looa
sage when they look at the time she made in to-day's race.
It is little short of phenomenal, even on Morns' toboggan
slide.

The death of Hermit has revived an interest in tbe sensa
tional surroundings which marked his Derby triumph of
1S67. The Sporting Chronicle says the following are a few of
the cross and other bets on the race: £40,000 even on The
Palmer against Hermit, which Sir Joseph Hawley laid Mr.
Chaplin, in addition to £10,000 even to Sir F. Johnston,
when the horses were two-years-old, besides an even £5,000
between Hermit and Marksman laid by their owners at the
Middle Park sale, when the colts realized 1,000 guineas each
as they followed each other into the ring, as was the case
with Kettledrum and Dundee atDoncaster, who also ran first
and secondin the Derby. Abet of £lS0,000to £6.000 laid by
the Duke of Hamilton to Captain Machell, who considered that
the horse had progressed so satisfactorily on resuming gentle
work as to inspire him with fresh confidence, and he backed
him to win £10,000 at 1,000 to 15 within the last hour, when
it "rained cats and dogs," although his true startiog price
was 1,000 to 10. which was currently offered afterward*. In
his early days Hermit was in William Goater's stable, but
subsequently left Michel Grove for Newmarket, with the re-
mainder of Mr. Chaplin's horses, to be trained by the late
George Bloas under Captain Maehell's management.

\\ Gorgo, Senator Hearst's fine imported five year old mare,
|ViU probably not be seen at the post very soon if ever again.
I Che cause of her lameness cannot be ascertained by the best
I 'eteiinarians. Conflicting statements have been published
tegardiog her oondition; first she would be broken down and
['be next report would say Bhe was all right and moving well.
lj*st week Senator Hearst was asked about the recent
Import that she was all right, and Baid: "It was correct for
■he day, but that is the funny part of the affair One day
[jhe is taken out on the track looking in prime condition and
Ions like a deer. My trainer is delighted and sends for me
find a lot of horsemen to see the mare go. I am delighted
I'nd gather a lot of friends together and we visit the track,
I'.ud as soon as the mare comes out she limps. I guess Gor-
I p is off the list."

| There was an accident in the fourth heat of the first race at
Philadelphia during the trotting by which Ed. Odell, the
Iriver of Golddnst Prince narrowly escaped seriooB injury.

The English Derby was run last Wednesday, Surefoot, a
red hot favorite was unable to get a place, finishing fourth,
the winner being Sainfoin, who was purchaser) by Sir James
Miller for $7,000 — with oonfingencies to Mr. J. Porter, who
trained him for his engagements. Saiafoin is said by a well
known writer on tnrf matters, to be a bright chestnut, blaze
face, off hind shank white half way to hoc&s, and near white
hind fetlock; exquisite shoulders, grandly arched loins, deep
and powerful quarters, clean hocks, and stands trne on good
legs and feet; he is by Springfield out of Sanda, and was bred
by "Her Majesty," being bought by John Porter for 550
guineas as a yearling. The winner was ridden by Watts, who
was up on Merry Hampton in 1887, he had since his victory in
the Dee Sfakes, one and a half miles at Chester, on May 8th,
been steadily backed at good odds. Baron Rothschdd's
Le Nord by Tristan — a sou of Hermit, oat of La Noce was
second — as he was in the Two Thousand — Fred Barrett rode
and Hayhoe trained him. The Duke of Westminster's Or-
well by Bend Or — the 1880 winner, out of Lily Agnes and
therefore own brother to the mighty Ormonde, the winner
in 1886— obtained third place. Surefoot, a scorching favor-
ite,''ridden by Liddiard was a good fourth.

The New York Tribune Bays:

Naomi, the Keheilan Arab mare, of the Maneghi-Hedrudj
(bred by the Gomussa Bedouins, of the great Anazeh tribes,
and brought from the Euphrates Valley to Eogland by the
late Capt. Roger D, Upton, of the Ninth Royal Lancers, after
whose death she became the property of the Rev. F. F. Vidal,
of Creeting Rectory, Needham Market, Suffolk, England)
which was sent over ia AnguBt, 1888, to Randolph Hunt-
ington, of Rochester, N. Y., to be bred to Gen. Grant's Seg-
lawi-Jedran Arab, Leopard, gave birth to a colt on the night
of May 10. Mr. Huntington describes the youngster as ab-
solutely perfect, and has named him Anazeh. Naomi iB said
to be the only pure Arabian mare ever brought to America.
Leopard, it will be remembered, was presented to Gen.
Grant by Abdul Hamid II (successor of Murad V), Sultan of
Turkey. "Tbe American people," says Mr. Huntington,
"know absolutely nothing of the Arabian horse. What they
believe to be Arabs are only Moorish mongrels, or possibly
Egyptian, or e^en Persian mongrel bred anlmais. Naomi is
the only positively pure-bred Arab mare that has come at
any time to America. In forty year's breeding I have never
seen bo perfect, strong and active a foal, immediately from
birth, as Anazeh."

The Clear Lake Press says:— A large and enthusiastic
meeting was held in Goald & Wood's Clab Room on Mon-
day last for the purpose of inaugurating a Jockey Club.

L. H. Gruwell was appoiuted President of the evening,
and I. S. Alexander, Secretary.

At the requast of the President, B. F. Gould explained
that the object for which tbe meeting was oalled was the
formation of a Lower Like Jockey Club, to encourage the
breeding and trainiog of trotting stock, and maintaining a
racing track known a-i Clayton Park.

At the conclusion of B. F. Gould's remarks, tbe following

Mr Kennedy, the well known mesmerist, told us a sport-
ing story says Rapier, which — well, we will say contained
an amusing coincidence He was in Australia at the time
when Cranbrook, one of tbe best horses tbat ever ran in the
Antipodes, was carrying all before him- The ring stood to
lose heavily over him (I think the race in question was the
Melbourne Cap), and one of them, after ruefully looking at
bis book, said to Mr. Kennedy, "I wish you would mesmer-
ise that horse and prevent him from winning, for it will hit
me hard if he takes the cup." The mesmerist replied that
he would have a look at the animal, went into the paddock,
and presently came across the favorite. "Is that Cran- s
brook?" he said to the boy leading the horse around, and
was answered in the afhrumtive. "Ah, he's sure to win
to-day!" Mr. Kennedy continued, and the lad replied. * Of
course he'll win; he'll win this and whatever else lie runs for.
There's nothing that can ever beat Carnbrook!" Mr. Ken-
nedy made some complimentary rejoinder, and passed his
hands before the horse's face. Whether that had anything
to do with what happened he does not pretend to say, but,
as a matter of fact, the race was run and Cranbrook suffered
what, if I remember the tale rightly, was the only defeat he
ever met with, a mare called Lady Betty upsetting the good
thing.

Singular ignorance has, says a well-known writer, been
sbown by persons commenting on the reBolt of the One
Thousand Guineas, in which the Duke of Portland's Semo-
lina and Memoir ran one two, as to the right possessed by
owners in case of two or more horses running for them iu
any stake. The law is very plain: "An owner running two
or more horses in a race may declare to win with one of
them, and such declaration must be made at scale. A jockey
riding a horse with which the owner has not declared to win
must on no account stop such horse, except in favor of the
Btable companion on whose behalf declaration to win has
been made." A curiouB case in connection with the law to
which allubion has just been made, occurred in the Doncas-
ter St. Leger of 1840. Tbe then Lord Westminster started
Laancelot and Maroon, the former an own brother to the
renowned Touchstone. Launcelot had run second to Little
Wonder in a memorable Derby. Hia owner declared to win
the St. Leger with him, ?nd the colt had for his jockey Wil-
liam Soott, whose many St. Leger successes included four
successive victories. Maroon was entrusted to John Holmes,
who had no pleasant task. Gibraltar, ridden by "Nat" Flat*
mau, threatened sacb danger to Launcelot, who started favor-
ite, that Holmes had to be ready to come to tbe rescue at a
moment's notice in case of the crack failing. Lauucelot
managed to win. An old Yorkshire friend, spectator of the
contest, used to tell me of the agony of a titled spectator who
had backed Launcelot when he saw tbat Maroon could beat
him if necessary. He was a puny Toiced man, and yet
shrieked an entreaty to Holmes to "hold" Maroon, as if his
cry could have availed at all, even had it been heard above
the din of Doncester, when the pinch of the St. Leger had
come.

The Monmouth Park Association announces this year an
innovation says tbe N, Y. Sun, which every race goer will
thoroughly appreciate. It is the opening in this city,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia of ticket offices where ticketB of
admission to the race course and railroad tickets by any of
the routes to the track may be purchased, thns saving to the
public the discomfort and annoyance too often experienced
in securing these very necessary bits of pasteboard at the
ferryhouBes. These offioeB will be opened a couple of weeks
before the opening meeting at the new track on the Fourth
of July, and they will be kept open during the season. This
is a long step in the right direction and one that the great
army of race goers will certainly appreciate.

Work at the new track has progressed so rapidly and has
been carried on so systematically that there is no doubt but
that everything will be in shipshape some time before the
date set for the opening of the meeting. It was a prodigious
undertaking to bnild and equip the the new track in some
thing less tnan a year, yt it bas been successfully accom-
plished, thanks to the push and energy of Mr. Withers, who
bas personally surperviBed the work. The track is nearly
ready for horses to work on it, and it will be in prime con-
dition by July. Mr. Withers' new set of racing rules is now
in the hands of the printer, and they will be put to a practi-
cal test at the coming meeting. This meeting is announced
by a thoroughly original and very handsome lithographic
picture of the start of a race. The veteran starter, Mt, Cald-
well, stands in his box. Hag in hand, ready to start a field of
racers whose jockeys are represented in the colors of famous
American stables. Among these are the Bilks and satins of
the Messrs. Haggin, Withers, Cassatt, Belmont, Dwyer, Lor-
illard, Morris, Polsifer, Galway, Scott, Hearst and Brown,
and pictures of McLaughlin, Garrison, Hayward, Hamilton,
Murphv, Littletield, Day and other jockeys. Taken alto-
gether," it is decidedly unique and Mr. Croft has eclipsed his
previous record for originality in its design.

"Dear RaDier," S. Shirley kindly writes to me from Kim-
berlej', "It may interest you and tbe numerous readers of
your noteB to hear of the latest performances of some of the
more or less illustrious exiles at present in this part of the
world. At the Kimberley Autumn Meeting, of which I en-
close programme, the principal races were won by imported
horses, and, as you will see, the handic&ppers did not forget
the fact tnat they were imported. The Trial Stakes six iur-
longs, was won by Bloodhound, 3 years, Sat lib, by Trap-
pist— Blood Red by Lord Lyon. Candelmas, aged, list 41b,
by Hermit— Fusee, was second for the big race, the Autnmu
Handicap, one mile, but could have won easily, his owner
declaring to win with bis second string— Valhalla, 3 years,
8st lib, Colonial bred, by Whacknm— Helen Mannering, by
Carnival — Miss Mannering. Bloodhound, 7st 111b, was
Second for Flying Stakes the same-day. On the second day
the Criterion, six furlongs was won by Overveen, 3 years,
lOst 91b by Energy— Wild Hyacinth; Bloodhound 3 years,
8st 91b second. In ibe Newton Handicap.U miles, Caudle-
mas with the crusher of list 71b was beaten off, his wind
wtopping him up the hill. On the last day, Loophole, 2 yearn
9st, by Hagioscope— Victress, who was manifestly short of
work, ran unplaced in tbe Juvenile Stakes, 'and Overveen
scored another viotory in the Beaconstield Handicap, carry-
ing Sat Mb over a mile in a heavy storm of wind and rain,
the course being like a ploughed field." Of these, Blood-
hound never won a race in Euglaurl— tbe last time he was
seen oot was at Kempton, tbe day Dearest beat Reviera for
the £6,000 Stakes. Candlemas — own brother to St. Blaise,
now the properly of A. Belmont, we all remember at Kincs-
clere; and Overveen looked like making a good colt tbe day
he won the We&tminster Stakes at Ep-iom, for he came down
the hill at a tremendous pace, and bad all the best of Lactan*
tiue on whom odds were laid; but this was bis la-t sneeep*.
Dine subsequent attempts having been made in vain.— Sport-
ing and Dramatic.

The minutes of the last meeting of the executive commitee
read and approved.
The Seoratary's quarterly report was read as follows:

May 21, 1890.
Gentlemen: I have to Bubmit, anplicitions for admission
to tbe American Kennel Club, from the following clubs and
associations: Youngitown Kennel Clab, of Youngstone, 0.;
the Louisiana Poultry and Pat Stock Association of New
Orleans, La ; Northern Illinois Poultry and Pet Stock Asso-
ciation of Rockford, 111. ; Wilmington Agricultural and Indus-
trial Association of Wilmington, Del ; the Chesapeake Bay
Dog Club of Baltimore, Md.; the Eistern Greyhound and
Coursing Club of New York. The applications of these clubs
were received in due form and time, as provided for in our
Constitution, and action at this meeting is desired. The
application of the Eastern Greyhound and Courting Club was
withdrawn, and an application from the National Greyhound
Club has been substituted.

The application of the California Kennel Club, which has
been in abeyance since August 15, 1889, has been renewed,
and action at this meeting is urged. The facts in this matter
can be briefly stated as follows: At the September meeting
of this club, the application was laid over, until the next
meeting, with instruction that your secretary should put
himself in correspondence with the Pacific Kennel Club, one
of the members of tbe American Kennel Club, requesting it
to advise this club, its opinion as to the expediency of two
clubs from the same city being admitted to membership. The
reply from the Pacific Kennel Club was that negotiations were
pending towards a consolidation of the two clubs, and asked
that action might be delayed until the matter should be
finally Bettled. In this the California Kennel Club arquie-
Bced. February 27, 1890, notice was given your secretary
that the Pacific Kennel Club would consolidate only upon
the following terms:

1st. The name Pacific Kennel Club should be retained.
21. That the money now in the California Kennel Club
(about $100) should be plaoed to the credit of the Pacific
Kennel Club, and used for the purpose of paying off a por-
tion of their debt.

3d, That the members of tbe California Kennel Club upon
enteriog the Pacific Kennel Club, should assume their pro-
rata of the debt of the Pacific Kennel Club. Those terms
were rejacted, and the application for admission was renewed.
Your secretary advised the California Keauel Club that he
would notify the Pacific Kennel Club of the renewal of the
application, and thus afford it an opportunity to lodge any
objection. This he did, and received a reply protesting the
admission of another club from San Francisco, a copy ot this
protest was duly mailed to the applicant, and a replv to the
protest signed individually by the five officers and twelve
members of the Executive Committee of the California Ken-
nel Club has been received, in which they state that they
have fifty members in good standing, they desire to hold
annual bench shows, and earnestly ask for admission. All
the correspondence in thi3 matter is here on file, and will be
read if desired.

The Southern California Kennel Clab of L03 Angeles, Cal.,
has held its feecond bench show, and promptly complied with
all the requirements of the. American Kennel Club," by send-
ing marked catalogue and registration, with fees to cover
same, within ten days of the close of the show. Under dale
of March 12, 1890. the President of this club informed your
Secretary, for the first time, that the letter and rule3 sent at
the time of its first show did not arrive until two days after
tbe show had been open, otherwise there would have been no
misunderstanding, and the show would have been strictly
under American Keonel Club rules. Under these circuni-
stancsB, and nlso in view of the prompt business-like way
that they bav* conducted the seo-jnd Bhow your Secretary
wonH respectfully recommend that the wios of the show of
1889 be recognized by this clab.

The American English Beagle Clnb notifies this club of its
change of n-ime to tbe American Beagle Clab; the Ciocinnati
Spoilsman's Club of its change of name to the Cincinnati
Kennel Clab, with requests to make such changes upon
our records. As such changes are made by resolution, such
action is solicited at this meeting.

A oommunioation was received dated March 11, '90 from
M \ Robert Leslie, calling attention to a violation of Rule 3\
by the New Engluml Kennel Club in neglecting to publish in

its premium list, the list of Recognized Shows, and askiDg
immediate action by the American Kennel Club to have such
a serious error rectified. A copy of this letter was forwarded
to the Bench Show Committee of the New England Kennel
Club, asking an explanation, which was complied with by
Mr. H. H. Moore, he assuming all blame in the matter, and
satisfactorily explaining tbe omiBsion, by stating that upon
receipt of the electrotype plates of the rules from this office,
they were taken to the printers, he supposing that said list
of reoognized shows were inoluded in the plates, and he did
not discover the error until after the premium lists had been
printed and mailed, when his attention was called to it by
the President of his club. As the plan of the American Ken-
nel Club supplying the rules in plates was something entirely
new, the oversight on the part of the New Eagiand Kennel
Club was natural. The catalogue was published correctly in
this respect. Yonr attention is called to an entry in ths
catalogue of the Mascoutah Kennel Club, of Mr. Wm. C.
Hudson's Kenmore (Irish setter). Your Seoretary asked said
club to explain why it had accepted the entry of a disqnali
fiei man, and received a reply that their entries closed Feb.
17th, and that after the catalogue had been printed, Mr. Hud-
eon wired the Superintendent of his disqualification and asked
for the return of his entries and fees. This waB done and the
dogs consequently did not compete, but it was too late to
change the catalogue. The entry in the judge's book was
marked disqualified. The matter being thus satisfactorily
explained, there was no blame whatever attached to the Mas-
coutah Kennel Clab, and this reference to the matter is sim-
ply to explain, what may have been considered by some, as a
direct violation of the rules. By the action of tbe Advisory
Committee at its meeting, April 7th, the case of Graham vs
Daniels waB settled, and your Secretary was directed to for-
ward to Mr Graham the amount of his claim, $50.10, held
by this club since January IS, '90. A b II of exchange was
mailed to Graham, April 8tnt and Mr.' Daniels was notified,
to which he replied that he desired to be pot on record as
considering the action of yonr committee an injustice, and a
shield to dishonest and Bharp dog dealers.

Tbe Albany Kennel Club had not paid Mr. A. W.Smith tbe
prize awarded his black and tan terrier Buffalo General up
to the 30th inst; said olub has been notified of this arrearage,
to which no reply has yet come to hand. No other claim has
been filed against this club.

Mr. W. T. Levering of Baltimore, Md , filed a claim for
the use of the prefix ''Dundee" for his Chesapeake Bay dogs;
the same was published in the April Gazetto, and a protest
has been tiled by Mr. H. T. Drake, of St. Paul, Minn., against
allowing said prefix. This correspondence will be read, and
your action at this meeting is requested. At the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club Show, a special prize of $50 was offered for
the best setter with a field trial record, which was awarded to
Mr. L. Gardner's English setter dog Roger. Tbe award was
protested by Mr. Max Wenzel, he claiming that his Irish set-
ter dog Tim was eligible to compete. This protest was al-
lowed, and the prize was awarded to Tim. Mr. Gardner ap-
pealed from this decision to his club, under date of Feb. 18,
'90, and deposited $10, as required by the rules. The case
is now before you to decide. It is susgdBted that this club
should adopt a list of "recognized field trials," a win at any
one of which shall be considered and accepted as a field trial
record. The Buffalo Kennel Club has served this club with
a notice of the suspension by it, of Mr. Edwin H. Morris, ur-
der Rule XXV for the following reason: Said Morris entered
four dogs at said Buffalo Kennel Clab Show, sending his
check for $12 to cover entry fees, said check waB protested,
and returned with $1.40 charges. The amount has neyer
been made good by Morris. The suspension has been con-
firmed, pending your action by President Belmont Jr. and
notice to that effect has been sent to Morris' address.

(Stgned) A. P. Vredenburgh, Secretary.
Adopted.

Mr. Wise: I move we go into this matter of credentials of
delegates.
Motion seconded and carried.

The Secretary stated that credentials were presented by
Mr. Lohman, of the St. Bernard Kennel Club; by Mr. Wat-
son, of the Southern California Kennel Club, and Mr. Pes-
hall. of the Maryland Kennel Club.

The credentials presented by Mr. Watson to represent tbe
Southern California Kennel Club were then read, and Mr.
Wise moved that Mr. Watson be accepted as representative
of the Southern California Kennel Club, provided his ere
dentials were amended bo as to conform with the rules.

Mr. Watnon: For the present I will withdraw the cre-
dentials of tbe Southern California Kennel Club, and repre-
sent the Spaniel Club.

Oq motion, Mr. Lohmau's credentials being regular, were
accepted.

The credentials of C. J. Peshall to represent the'_ Maryland
Kennel Club were read.
Mr. Leslie: — I move those credentials be accepted.
Mr. Anthony: — I rise to a point of order that the clnb hav-
ing appointed Mr. Malcom for tbe year 1890, had no right
in the absence of the resignation ot Mr. Malcom, to Bend
another delegate.

Mr. Leslie:— Mr, PeBhall responded to the roll-call for the
Maryland Kennel Club, and he was recognized.

The President: — He was not recognized. He chose to
occupy the floor in spite of my refusal to recognize him.

Mr. Wise:— This is a question of power with me. On the
5th of April, 1890, this Maryland Kennel Club met, and it
elected a delegate and duly authorized him for 12 months
to represent it as a delegate, and his name is H. Malcom,
and he stands here as the doly authorized representative of
that club for 12 months. Of course, if there is a resignation
there is a vacancy, but it is the principle of law that a dele-
gate has no power to delegate his authority.

The President:— I desire to state for the information of the
meeting, that that was the ground on which I ruled. When
I fiVHt saw the certificate, if such it can be called — I bad not
heurd of it before— I saw that Mr. Peshall had no authority
to represent any clnh here. I did not have an opportunity
of statin:|so when I ruled, because Mr. Peshall did not wish
to take my ruling, and to silence his interruption, I was
ob'iged to go ou with another motion in order that the meet-
ing might proceel. I think it is very indelioate that Mr
Peshall sboul I remain in the room during this discussion,
bo long as the Chair has ruled that he is not a member or
detente It is clear thit ihe certificate that he presents is
not a va'id one in any sense. It states clearly that it is but
a snbs'itu'ion, and tbe constitution does not recognize the
possibility of a substitution. If nothing had been said about
Mr. Malcom in tbe certificate, I certainly should have
been obliged to recogu:ze Mr Peshall, no matter whether
the regular delegate previously appointed had resigned or
not. In this case be is not seut here as a delegate but as a
substitute. It is so distinctly stated in tbe so called certifi-
cate.

Mr. Wateon:— I very muoh regret that this disoussion has

come up in this shape. I think we ail know what this
means. This is personal animosity to Mr. Peshall.

Mr. Anthony: — In order to cut short all discussion I with*
draw my point of order, and I now move that as Mr.
Peshall is not a ^persona gratia" to the members of this olub
for a reason you all know, he be not accepted as a deltgala
to the American Kennel Club.

Mr. Watson — I object with regard to myself to any ench
motion being put to the meeting.
Motion seconded.

The president (resigning the chair to Mr. Terry)— Concern-
ing Mr. Watson's statement that thiB action is the result of
personal animosity. I think perhaps 1 am the one to reply
to that, as my feelings on the sui ject would probably be tu-
preted as personal. They are not at all. I readily be-
lieve that the party id not worthy of my personal feeling on
the subject. Mr. Peshall has written all aorts of letters and
articles in the papers against the American Kennel Club.
What his motives were is for you to deoide. It was in tbe
main an attack upon the financial conduct of the club, and
after an investigation of the books was made, and after the
financial oondition of the club, as reported by your ofnctrg
was endorsed by a committee appointed to investigate and
report, he did not accept that, and accused the club of ao
manipulating its accounts as to make it appear that ilwsa
in a better financial condition than it really was, and accused
me of having come to the assistance of the club with money,
which the aocounts show I did not,altnongh I offered to do so
in the avent of its becoming necessary. The statement,
made by the American Kennel Club through its officsrs, that
such assistance bad not been given, was not believed, and
every effort was made on the part of Mr Peshall to have Ihe
public, an I the dog men in particular, believe the financial
statement of the American Kennel Club was a false one, and
that the accounts were open to the accusation of mismanage-
ment. Ionsider on this ground that no one taking that
position should be received here as a delegate, because it is
saying prac'ically "I don't believe in your club.'' That ia
one ground. There is another ground, and that is that it
was published in all the papers ihat a Buit was going to be
brought against the American Kennel Club to take it into
court in order to prove tbese false entries, as it was claimed.
That was published everywhere. Some of the delegates be-
ing frigoteued went so far as to write and aBk all sorts of de-
tails, eic, until it became such a nuisance that we consulted
counsel on the subject, and were advised that even delegates
had no right to inspect the books, and I bad occasion to
write a letter to the delegate of the Massachusetts Club say-
ing that tbe books could not remain open to inspection
longer after the committee had passed upon thur accuracy.
We are willing to do anythiog and answer any question that
anybody may reasonably ask, but this incessant peckine be-
came hot only tirt some but insulting. Fur instance, if I ua
your President should make a statement here that I did not
give any money to the club I should expect to be believed,
and if I am not to be believed I am not tit to be your Presi-
dent. Those statements were made. That suit referred to
was never brought, was never intended to be brought, and
never could be brought under any process of law. The par-
ties intending to engage in it would have been shown up in
a ridiculous light. On the two groundB I have stated J mail.-
tain say that Mr. Peshall is not fit to represent any club, nor
fit to sit in this room after the accusation he has made, ex-
cepting as a private individual. The statement that there ia
personal animosity here 1b all nonsense, but if we have any
respact for ourselves as au organization we Bhould not re-
ceive anybody in it who speaks and writes against it in such
a manner.
Mr. Peshall — I ask to be heard:
The Chairman — I cannot recognize yon.
Mr. Leslie — I move the delegatis grant to Mr. Peshall tl 6
privilege of being heard.

Mr. Logan — I haye never met the gentleman, nor do I
know anything about him, but I believe we have by-laws
and a constitution to govern us at these meetings, and I
don't think we should depart from tbeni now.

Mr. Anthony's motion that Mr. Peshall be not recognized
or admitted as a delegate on the ground that he is not a
persona gratia (under Art. XII. Sec. 2) to the majority of the
delegates was then put and carried by tbe following vote:

AyeB, 9 — Am. Pet Dog Club, Associate Delegates (2 votes),
Mascontah Kennel Club, Pointer Club of America, Virginia
Field Sports Ass'n, Westminster Kennel Club, St. Bernard
Clnb of America.

Nays, 3— Am. Beagle Club, Am. Spaniel Club, Massachu-
setts Club.

The question of recognizing the wins of the Sonthern Cal-
ifornia Kennel Ulnb of Los Angeles, Cal., was then brought
up, and Mr. Anthony moved that as the rules and the Secre-
tary's letter did not reach the club until two days after their
show of 1889, and as they oomplied as near as possible with
those rules, that those wins be recognized by the American
Eennel Club.
Motion seconded and carried.

The requests of the American English Beagle Club and the
Cincinnati Sportsman's Club to have their names changed
upon the records to "The American Beagle Club," and "lhe
Cincinnati Kennel Club" were on motion granted, and the
Secretary instructed to make the changes desired.

On motion. Mr. W. T. Levering, of Baltimore, was granted
the prefix "Dundee" for his Chesapeake Biy dogs, against
which a protest had been filed by Mr. H. T. Drake, of St.
Paul, Minn.

Concerning the special prize of $50, awarded by the "West-
minster Kennel Club to Mr. L. Gardner's English se'.ter dog
Koger, which was protested by Mr. Max Wenzel on the
ground that his Irish setter dog Tim was eligible to compete,
and which protest was allowed, and the prize aweried to
Tim, from which decision Mr. Gardner appealed, Mr. "Watson
offered the following resolution:

Resolved, that it is the opinion of this committee that the
term "Field Trial Record" applies only to public trials for
competition open to all, and that the appeal by Mr. L. Gard-
ner in the case of the special prize for the best Better with a
fiel 1 trial record be sustained, and the prize awarded to his
English setter dog Roger.
Resolution seconded and carried.

Io regard to the suspension of Mr. Eiwin H. Morris, under
Role XXV, of which notice was received by the American
Kennel Club, the Secretary Btated that Morris had deposited
with the club $14. which covered entry fees and protest fees
on protested check. That he had wired the Buffalo Kennel
Club to withdraw the suspension, and he had left extra
money to pay wire charges on return. He further stated that
under the rales there was one of two things to be done;
either the suspension had to be removed, or Mr. Morris
would have to be disqualified.
On motion of Mr. "Watson, the suspension was removed.
Tne Secretary — At our lest meeting a resolution was
adopted giving clubs in arrears 30 days to settle their
accounts, otherwise they would be dropped from the roll. I

■ have sent notices to that effect to the following clubs: Chat-
tahoochee Valley Exposition Company, Connecticut State

; Kennel Club, Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock Association,
' Hartford Kennel Clab and Syracuse Kennel Club. The
I German Mastiff or Great Dane Club I overlooked, so I do
not think that club comes under the resolution.

On motion of Mr. WatBon, the clubs named were dropped
from the roll -
On request of Mr. Leslie the Secretary read the charges
I brought by Mr. Leslie againBt the New England Kennel
Club.

Mr. Leslie— I think this is a serious breach of the rules,

and something shoull be done to punish them for such a

< breach. I move that tbe New England Club be suspended

■ for the term of one year for non compliance with the rules in
not publishing the rules of the Bench Show.

The Secretary— I think that would be very unjust. This
|. is the first ve»r that we have attempted to furnish the rules
I for the different clabs. After the rnles wore amended I got
f. them up with all the latest amendments. I had electrotype
plates made of them the proper size for catalogues and pre-
: mium lists, but I did not include the list of recognized shows
[ forth) r3is?n that they are changing all the time. In eeud-
I ing the*e plates to the Boston Club, Mr. Moore very naturally
i supposed they were included, and did not know of their ab
I "sence until after the premium lists were printed. To pen-
l alizethe Boston Club for an error of that kind I think would
* : be a great mistake,
i Mr, Leslie's motion seconded.

Mr. Anthony — I move to lay it in the table.
Motion seconded and carried.

Mr. Leslie — I would like an explanation from the Secre-
tary why one delegate should be refused to investigate the
report of the Treasurer or the books, and another delegate
in a few weeks afterwards be permitted to do so. I should
like to know if there is any distinction, whether one man is
favored over another.

The Secretary— If you will be kind enough to state the
particulars I will answer you.
Mr. Leslie— I made inquiries about the Treasurer's report,
I etc., and I »as refused permission to investigate it. Mr. "Wat-
son, a few weeks afterwards, comes from the Forest and
Stream and he investigated the Treasurer's report, and the
c books were thrown open to him.

The Secretary stated thatcansiderable correspondence had
passed between them in which he stated in substance he had
, invited Mr. Leslie to call at the office at any time and the
books were at his disposal, and that he was ready to answer
any question he asked. That in reply he had received an
insulting Utter from Mr Leslie. He then wrote to Mr. Les-
lie that he asked the President of the olub abont the matfer,
and that he had received positive instructions from him to
D03itively decline to make any further statement of the finan-
t ceB other than the published ones which were duly examined
and audited by the committee appointed by the American
Kennel Club for that purpose. That he Bhould strictly carry
out the instructions of the Prssident.

' The Secretary (continuing): Mr. Watson had written me
about the same kind of a letter as Mr Leslie's first letter,
asking for certain amounts in my accounts. I wrote Mr.
Watson to the same effect as I did to Mr. Leslie, that I had
no time to do it. I was very buBy at the time. I invited
Mr. Watson to come here at the office and look at the books.
Mr. Watson sent another letter in which he v/rote three or
four questions, which I answered, and again invited him
to come here and look at the books. He sent me word he
would come in the firBt time he was in town. Mr. Watson
did come in after I had written to Mr. Leslie. Mr. Watson
had been in the meantime eleoted a member of the Stud
Book Committee. He had a perfect right to those books just
as I had or any other officer. Mr. Watson wiil bear me out
in what I say, that he responded to my invitation and looked
at the books,

The Secretary called attention to a communication in ref-
erence to a special prize offered by the St. Bernard Kennel
Club far the best smooth coated St. Bernard dog. An entry
waa made by Mr. T. B.Lee. It came out subsequently that
Mr. Lee did not own the dog entered by him, which was
awarded the prize, bat that the dog belonged to his wife
Therefore the dog was disqualified. The question now is
what is to be done with the cups which were offered as the
prize.

Mr. Anthony moved that there being no reserve number
and that the Judge not having been requested to re-judge
the class, tbe American Konnel Club consider the cups the
property of the St. Bernard Club of America.

.

Motion seconded and carried.

A communication was read from the Gordon Setter Club
asking that the percentage of blood be raised from 62 A to 87J
per cent.

On motion the matter was referred to the Stnd Book Com-
mittee

Adjourned.

Occidental Coursing Club.

A coursing meeting of the club was held on May 30th at
Newark Park, two stakes being on the card, an all-aged for
eight dogB at $5 each, winner £25, runner up $15, and a
puppy stake for six puppies at $5 each, winner $20. runner
up $10. The day was well suited, but the ground was too
villainously hard to make anything like good conrsing possi-
ble. Stock had been pastured in it during the early spring,
and the foot-marks left by the cattle formed innumerable
little pits with sharp hard-baked edges which ripped away
the nails whenever a dog chanced to step into one. Hares
were rather scarce, and some delay was caused by the fact.
The attendance was small, not more than fifty persons being
present, but those who were there were tbe jolly sort, and
made the day paBB in a lively fashion. The officers of the
day were S. O. Gregory, T. J. O'Keeffe and H. E. Deane; Blip
steward, J. F. Carroll; flag steward, H. Boyd; judge, J. R.
Dickson; slipper, Jas. Wren.

Most of the courses were very short, and close work was
practically impossible, because of the character of the ground.
As to several of the courses, there seemed to be room for a
difference of opinion after the judgments were rendered, but
as was remarked by an old courser, the judge has the best
chance to see, and is moat likely to be right. A detailed
report of the meeting would not, under the circumstances,
be of especial value, and as space is limited, a summary must
suffice.

Consolation Dead.

Mr. Luke W. White writes: "Consolation has just died.
He was without exception the best dog I ever handled. I
never expect to get a better, and if I get as good again I will
be lucky. I have one bitch by him living, presented to me
by Col. O'Dell some time ago."

[The gameBt 6eld trial race we have ever seen was run at
High Point in '86 by Consolation. The dog was sick, some
dysenteric trouble ailing him, aDd it was plainly to be seen
that every movement caused acute pain, while the frequent
stops necessitated by the peculiar character of his disease
strongly militated against his chances in the race, but despite
adversities the game little fellow ran a brilliant nervy race,
with excellent pace, judgment, level-headedness and obedi-
ence. A grander dog than Consolation is rarely seen, and
his owner, Colonel C. H. O'Dell will feel the loss keenly.—

Mr. B. Doherty had his fine greyhound, California Boy by
Ben AH— Daisy, poisoned on May 15th. The dog was a good
hound, and the loss iB a great one.

We regret to learn that Mr. C. A. Loud has been very ill
sinoe reaching his new home at OceanBide, San Diego County g
He iB now convalescent and we hope will soon be quite well.
His illness makes it impossible for him to handle his fine
English setter, Rural Nellie. A. K. S.B., 13,944, and he de-
sires to place her in the hands of some one who would value
such a dog.

It was a pleasure to receive a call last week from Dr. A. C.
Heffenger of the D. S. Navy, who came bearing an introduct-
ory note from that prince of co-laborers in the journalistic
field, Dr. N. Howe of the American Field. Dr Heffenger is
Vice President of the Brunswick Fur Club of Maine, and is
an enthusiast about fox honnda and fox hunting. He i*
also a keen angler, and all around Bportsman whose acces-
sion to the guild in these parts is reason for elation. We
commend him to all readers to whom be may become known.

Mr. C J. Peshall has prepared the papers and will present
them some day this week to the United States Circo.it Court
asking for a mandamus compelling Mr. Vredenburgh, the
Secretary, to submit the papers and books of the American
Kennel Club to Mr. Peehall for his examination, and to an-
Bwer any questions touching the same. Mr. Peshall bases
his action on the ground that the American Kennel Clab is a
voluntary association, and every member of it is a partner.
Another suit ib to be commenced asking for an accounting,
dissolution and windiog up of tbe partnership, in other words
to terminate the existence of the American Kennel Club.—
American Field.

[Is there not danger that Judge Peshall will become a nui-
sance, and forfeit that general esteem which he has gained
during the ten years last passed? As we understand the
matter, the Judge is moving to gratify petty personal spite,
rather than to correct real errors. Go slow, Judge Peshall,
the "Bun'had risen upon the earth before Lot entered into
Zoar." — Ken. Ed ]

It has been found that when an elongated projectile is fired
from a Bmooth-bore, the head of the bullet is gradually lifted
until it is thrown completely over, after which the flight is
very uncertain. A jndicionsly rifled barrel overcomes this
defect It has long been a diepnted point as to whether the
longer axis of a bullet Dreserves its original direction or
whether the point droops and follows the trajectory curve.
It is now believed by the best authorities that tbe latter
obtains as otherwise projectiles fixed at a high angle would
strike nearly lengthways, which has not been observed. An
attempt has even been made by constructing a model bullet,
mounted on a gvroscope facing a powerful fan, to demonstrate
lhe effect of the air resistance upon a bullet. "As soon as
the revolving projectile is put in position, the fan is set in
rapid motion: the current of air first causes the point of the
bullet to lift slightly, then it moves to tbe right or left (accord-
ing to the direction of the spin), and eventually it makes a
strong dip down toward the ground." While this is prob-
ably true with regard to the motions of a bullet diseharped
from a rifle barrel, it can hardly be regarded as proved, as the
conditions are not the same.

THE GUN,

The Gun Club.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The annual pionio
match of the Gun Club was held on Friday of last week in
Ross Valley, not far from San Rafael. The day was simply
splendid, jtiPt breezy eoough to give an impetus to the flight
of the beat all round lot of birds it has been my good for-
tune to look and shoot at for many a day.

The company was delightful, just the kind you generally
have met at the Gun Club meeting, and a few ladies were
also present. It was a pleasant sight to see old timers like
Mr. Thos. Ewing and Mr. 0. D. Laing, who made their brst
appearance in almost two years, and neither of them have
forgotten how "to do it." A bountiful and well spread
luncheon was set out by the club, and, briefly speaking, it
was, as a whole, one of the "red letter" days in the exiBteoce
of the Gun Club.

The Gun Club is about to issue a challenge to the Alameda
SportsmeD's Club at an early day, and as soon as the pre-
liminaries can be arranged. Ten men will probably contest
on each side, for a trophy or dinner.

The birds used were very good, and the scoreB indicate ex-
cellent form on the part of the participants. All of the
shootiog was under American Association Rules, and the
scores were :

Chick vs. Brewer-

On Sunday last at Haight Street base ball grounds, a very
interesting match was shot between Capt J: L. Brewer, who
has been traveling about the world, shooting, professionally,
and Mr. Martinez Chick of San Diego. The match was made by
Mr. Geo. Carroll, 'of this city, who backed Mr. Chick, and Mr.
Lawrence, who backed Mr. Brewer. By agreement the men
were to shoot three matches, 100 birds to the man in each
match, for $250 a Bide each event; London Gun Club rules

The first match resulted in favor of Mr. Chick, who scored
95 of his 100 birds against 92 killed by Capt. Brewer. The
birds were only ordinary, the most of them being rather slow,
with now and then a lightning driver. Gate money was
charged, and but very few attended. After the ball game
the grounds were cleared, except of those who purchased
tickets for the shoot, and perhaps 300 men were present.

Mr. Ed. Fay acted as referee, and not having either a
knowledge of the London Gun Club rules or a copy of them,
he waB in doubt as to many points during the progress of the
match. He reversed his decisions, and allowed one of the
contestants to do pretty much as he pleased. In style, accu-
racy with the first barrel, and general pleasantness of man-
ner throughout the match, Mr. Chick had all the best of it;
the birds were about equally hard for both. Mr. Chick shot
3\ drams of Schultze's powder, 1£ ounces chilled 7's from
each barrel, using a 12-bore under eight pounds. Capt.
Brewer shot 4 drams of Sehnltze, and 1} ounoes of 6's in
each barrel, also using a twelve. The score was:

SECOND MATCH.

On Wednesday the second match of the series was shot
Mr. Chick again winning by a score of 95 to 89. The birds
were better, and all of them had their tails clipped. Capt.
Brewer got a few birds harder than any of Mr. Chicks, but
the latter fairly out-shot his noted competitor at all po'ints.
Not more than a hundred spectators were present. The
BCoreB were: .

A team match has been made between Messrs. C. B. Smith
and C. J. Haas on one side, and Crittenden Robinson and
Ed. Fay on the other, for $200 a side; at 100 birds per man,
American Aaeociation rules; match to be shot within thirty
days, probably on June 27th, each side to find birds for the
other. Capt. Eddy holds a forfeit for the match, and there is
every probability that it will be shot.

Hunting In Modoc,

Fort Bidwell, Modock Co., Cal., May 29, 1890.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — What our mutual
friend may have said to you concerning the game of tbis sec-
tion I know not, but infer from the tooe of your letter that
life in Modoc was pictured in very rosy tints. Eight years
have wrought many changes in this country, and when I re-
member that he came here in 18S0 and left in 1882, ana also
recall the immense flocks of geese, ducks, sage hens, etc.
that we hunted together, I can but believe that be has con-
fined himself to facts. When we took our memorable hunt
at Old Camp Warner across the line in Oregon, we got
thirteen deer in three days, and no day did I see less than
eighteen or twenty in a five mile tramp. But at that lime
the Indians, who in 187S committed depredations on Wilson
and Alexanders raDge, where the Old Camp is located, were
religiously excluded from that section, and deer had flocked
there and multiplied in astonishing numbers, bnt within two
years of that time the Indians were allowed the freedom of
the range and they made short work of the deer. There are
yet many left, but not one can be found now whore ten were
then.

Large bands of antelope still roam over the plains of that
section, and on the mountains a few big horns are to be
found, and I am told an occasional ibex, though this last I
have never seen. The Old Camp is fifty miles north-east of
Bidwell.

Concerning trout. fishing would say that the streams which
flow into this (Surprise) valley contain very few trout and
these were planted there by the State. Tnis is accounted
for by the fact that the lakes in the valley are all very Bhallow
and every few years go dry. To the west of us jnst across
the mountains is the big Goose Lake well filled with trout,
and all streams running into it as well as the Pitt River which
rises near the lake, afford good sport for the augler.

In the he tie Chewaucan Valley about 30 miles north of
Lakeview is to be found magnificent trout fishing. A letter
just received from Hod. John E. Swift, C. S. Minister to
Tokio with whom writer had pleasure of a fiBhing trip to that
region in 1885, expressed the belief that the best trout fishing
in the world is to be found there.

It iB certainly grand sport as is the salmon fishing on the
Sprague River west of'there. Near Bidwell there are but few
sharp tails. They are more numerous in the Goose Lake
Valley, where they afforded me good sport in the fall of '88.
With a good dog a man could have made good bags.

The Btrychnine fiend don't allow ns to keep a dog in this
country many months.

I have heard of some bands of mule deer being seen this
spring. Whether this fearful winter has killed many or.not
we can only surmise, but when from 50 to 90 per cent, of
cattle that were left on th9 range perish it looks dubious for
deer.

There are no elk in this section. Immense numb is of
swan, geese and ducks called on us as they went north
this spring. The swan came in large numberB just after the
thaw, Feb. 1st, and the boys had a picnic with them bringing
in dozens upon dozens.

Before the writer was sufficiently recovered from the grip to
risk exposure to etherial mildness they had become educated
and were much too far advanced for him. I hope, however,
to have my lamp trimmed and burning by the time they come
tbis way next fall.

Many Canada geese nesf! in this section and rear their
young here; especially is this true of the beautiful Goose
Lake Valley. This valley is appropriately named, for when
the native flocks of honkers are joined by their cousins from
the north accompanied by the buow geese, hundreds of acres
of stubble are literally covered with them.

Ask Col. D. S. Gordon, now stopping at the Grand or
Palace Hotel, what he knows about goose shooting in Modoc
County. He has been there, and can give you some points.

Yes, we have snipe, also curlew and avocets, and a few
years ago thousands of quail, but these latter have been
nearly or quite exterminated by the last thrBe winters. Deep
snow, when accompanied by 24° below zero, has distanced the
breech loader in wiping out this boss bird.

Dusky grouse are numerous in the timber. Doves are very
plenty, and in August afford Bplendid sport.

Pelicans and sand-hill cranes are often met here, and the
lyDX., cougar and grizzly occasionally Burrenaer to the saga-
cious hunter.

This is an isolated post, perhaps the most so of any in the
United States, it being 160 milea from the nearest railroad
station (Liegan, the terminus of the Nevada and California
R. R , running ont from Reno), but if anyone wantB a, taste
of frootier life, and can rough it, if he will Bpend the month
of October or November in this vicinity, my word for it,
smashing clay saucers will ever after be deemed tame sport
by that individual. As I do not keep a hotel, I have no
P'jouniary interest in the visits of sportsmeD.

The property holders along Dry Creek, from Oak £noll,
Napa County, to the Sonoma line, hav6 unanimously agreed
to stop all fishing, hunting or trespassiog of any kind. Notices
to that effect will be posted all along the creeks:

Together with a package of glorious cherries Mr. Henry A.
BasBford sent from his Vacaville ranch this note: "I jast
finished packing cherries to-day, had a very good crop. Have
had about 75 boys, girls and Chinamen working for the last
month. I see quite a good many doves around the last few
days. I will have a little spare time now for awhile and I
think I will give Mr. Smith a brush for the medal."

Mr. W. E. Perry, who will be pleasantly remembered as
one of Colouei Diniick s experts has associated himBelf with
the sterling old gun house of Wm, R, Schaefer & Son in
Boston where we hope his attractive personality and his
great knowledge of guns and sportsmen's wantB may meet a
deserved reward.

At BakerBtield on Sunday of last week Messrs. I. L. Mil-
ler and C. N. Reed marshalled the trap shots of that game
little city into teams and scored at blue rock targets, Cap-
tain Millers team breaking 93 and Captain Reed's 87. The
best individual score was made by Mr. Henry Borgwardt,
the next by Charles Gay and the third by Charley Day. Mr.
Ed. Lechner broke IS ont of 21; a very line performance in-
deed. Where were Mr. Houghton, Mr. Seymour, Mr. Leon,
ard, Mr. T. L. Briggs and all the other oracbB?

The regular monthly shoot of the Blue Rock Club will take
place Saturday, Jane 7th, at Oakland Race Track. Take 1
p. m. Berkeley train.

The London Shooting TimeB comments upon the recent
Traver fraud as follows;

"This novel kind of fraud had better be borne in mind, as
clay pigeon matches are pretty frequent on this side of the
herring pond. But that such a bare faced imposition conld
have, at all, succeeded, baffles us. Had we been shooting
ard heard the Bhot strike, we would, of coarse have wanted
to know why the birds did not break, of coarse.

The Fish Commission.

The regular meetiDg hour for the June meeting was 1:30
p. m. on Tuesday last, but as Commissioner Harvey found it
impossible to be present at that hour, the Board convened
at 8:30 a. m. and transacted the usual routine business. The
monthly report of Chief of Patrol Callundan was presented as
follows:

The Honorable The Board of Fish Commissioners: — Gen"
tlemen:— The report of the Chief of Patrol and suoh Depu-
ties as have made their proceedings known to him is submit-
ted herewith. The lack of necessity for watching the trout
streams has made it possible to devote more attention to the
markets and to the fisheries along the Bay shores. If the
views of your Honorable Board are rightly understood it is
the desire to preserve the yoang of fish by such constant aDd
close oversight as will prevent their capture rather than to
make an occasional conviction with accompanying fioe after
the fisherman has worked devastation for a time. It is bo-
lieved that comparatively few small fish are now being de-
stroyed, the daily patrol of the markets prevents their being
offered for sale and the occasional trips of the Deputies to
the fishing stations when unespacted makes it hardly worth
while for the fishermen to dry the fiBh for export. Since
the passage of the ordinance in San FraooiFO prohibiting
the selling or otfaring for sale of striped bass less than eight
lbs. in weight, your Deputies have been especially vigilant
in relation to bass and can report that no small fir«n of the
species have been marketed, although many have been placed
on the slabs weighing from twelve to twenty-two and a half
lbs.

The traffic in deer skin3 from which the evidence of sex
has been removed seems to be about broken up, the skiDs
consigned by L. Lobree to the Sawyer Tanning Co. some
weeks ago still remain under seizure subject to the order of
your Honorable Board where it is recommended that they
remain nntil snoh time as someone attemp's to force owner-
ship of them, when a successful prosecution can be ioi'iated.
Deputy Tunsteal has the matter specially in charge and
may be relied upon to perform his duty with the utmost
faithfulness. Deputy Innes has devoted his time largely to
market inspection and to watching the fish wharves at
which the cargoes from the fishing stations are landed. The
fishermen report generally poor success, light catches and
consequent hardship and inability to pay their licenses
promptly although Deputy and License Collector Curley is
gradually reaching them all.

Deputies have been seDt to various points about the
country adjacent to San Francisco in auswer to complaints
that explosives are being used in the streams. In no case has
anyone been detected in the act of using such explosives but
it is believed that the trips made by the Deputies have ex-
erted a salutary influence in the way of preventing future
like outrages. The Sonoma River at Glen Ellen and near
that town was one of the spots visited, Russian River anoth-
er, the Los Gatos a third and the San Lorenzo a fourth.
About tbe middle of the month a Deputy visited Ubiab and
traversed a portion of the Russian River near that City where
in former seasons Indian fish traps by hundreds have been
set; it is a source of gratification to report that the eff jrts
of your Honorable Commission have entirely put a Btop to
the Indian way of fishing in that stream aDd it U hoptd that
with the increase in the food supply which is destroyed by
the poisons used by the Indians in fishing, Russian River
will soon beoome what it formerly was, one of the greatest
trout Btreams of this or any other State. Several inquiries
have come about the intention of your Honorable Board ns
to establishing small hatcheries at various points near suit-
able public waters, suoh inquiries are referred for the action
of the B:nrd.

On May 3rd and 4th a run was made down the Sacramento
River without finding any fishermen violating the law.

The 8th and 9th were spent at Monterey examining tbe
Chinese and Italian fiBhing stations there. A large number of
boats were found though but few of tbem were in active use
most of the fishermen preferring to wait until a little later
when greater returns for their work are insured The Con-
stables and the Justice of the Peace at Monterey promised
to interest themselves actively in the enforcing of the law
and to sustain your Commission whenever opportunity
offers.

May 15th was passed in Martinez settling tbecases of the
Chinese arrested some months since for illegal fishing. Of
the nine cases pending, four paid fines of $85 each and four
of $50 each, one of the defendants having died shortly after
leaving jail on bail. Tbe total amount S540 was subdivided
of whicU one-third has been paid to the State Board of Fish
Commissioners as prov:.dedby law.

Some weeeks siuce in Mooterey County three Italians were
arreBted and fined for fishing with too small meshes and tbe
whole amount of the fines, $150 was paid into the County
treasury. When the fact became known steps were immedi-
ately taken to secure to this Board the portion of the tines
to which the State was entitled. A formal claim was made
upon the Board of Supervisors at Monterey County for the
amount due, which claim will be actrd upon at the next meet-
ing. Complaints have come to hand that deer were being
killed in Marin County and investigation justifies bblief in
the rumors, the persons whose names have come to hand
have all been notified not to continue their illegal hunting.
Deer bunting at present is done with hounds which find the
weakened does and young fawns an easy prey. Hunting tbem
is an outrage from any standpoint and proflecntioDs will be
vigorously pnyhed all against all as to whom evidence of
guilt can be secured. Respectfully submitted,

F. P. Callundan, Chief of Patrol.

Fish Commissioner Geo. Mills of Nevada has distributed
1,000,000 trout already this season and has nearly as many
more which will be placed in various streams during June,
He isproving the best officer that tbe state has ever had,
being alert, enthusiastic and praotical.

Gnm's Gossip.

Electioneer continues to improve.

John Green is moving Melrose 2:26£ in a quiet manner,
but the Snltan gelding is improving every day.

At the Bay District Traok everything is booming and there
-are always more or less horsemen present to witness the
"work oats.*'

W. E. Wilson, of Cynthinna, Ky., has promised James
Ooldsmith a new sulky when Simmocoloii trots in 2:20.
Jimmy will get that sulky sore.

More horsemen will visit Los Angeles in Angust than ev-
er before. They are going to have a bang np meeting and
all visitors can rely upon being hospitably entertained.

The Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association con-
templates opening a stallion representative stake to close
■January 1, 1891, guaranteeing it to be worth not less than
$15,000.

At Glenbrook Park, there are quite a number of horses in
training, and as the programme is better than ever before,
it is confidently predicted that all former fairs will be sur-
passed in brilliancy.

J. H. White, president of the Breeders' Association, has
been in town during the week, and reports his string as do-
ing well. Ten or a dozen of the best ones have been re-
moved to the Petalunia track.

Wm. Hogoboom is located at the Walla Walla trask where
be has a tine stable of horses. Billy has been long enough
at the business to warrant the belief that he can give satis-
faction to those that employ him.

The sale of the J. M. Donohoe horses in this city on Wed-
nesday last by Killip & Co., was productive of good prices.
The principal sale was a Guy Wilkes filly which fell to the
bid of F. H. Burke, owner of Eros.

And now comes the news that a mare belonging to Wm.
Barnes of Elmwood, Mo., has given birth to triplets. Strauge
to say, all three of the foals are doing well and it is deemed
extremely probable that they will survive.

At a meeting of the Willows Agricultural Association it was
determined to hold the annual fair of 1890, from Aug. 12 to
16th inclasive. Last year a highly successful meeting was
held and a better one is anticipated for this yeor

Programmes and entry blanks for the Sixth District Agri-
cultural Association Meeting to be held at Los Angeles in
August, can be obtained at this office. The directors have
made a move in the right direction by offering liberal purses.

We have had many calls for the Haggin catalogues of
yearling thoroughbreds; but only having one, could not com-
ply with the repeated requests. It is jast possible that many
possible purchasers have been kept away owing to the neg-
lect.

The question now arises what track will offer the best ad-
vantages to the Breeders Association for the fall meeting.
Sacramento, Napa, Santa Rosa and Petaluma are all talked
of but there is no telling at present where the honor will
fall.

Mr. A. T. Hatch has been asked to name a price on Guide
2;28i by Director, dam Imogeneby Norwood. The gentleman,
however, positively refuses to sell his promising young
stallion and the colt will remain at the Hatch breeding estab-
meut.

At Terre Haute last Wednesday Budd Doble drove Houri
2:17. and Lady Bullion 2:181, in double harness a half mile
in 1:08| — the first quarter in 34£, and the second in 34.
Doble said he thought by Friday or Saturday he could drive
the team a half in 1;07.

The trotting meeting at Terre Haute has had the unquali-
fied endorsement of the public as thousands upon thousands
were present each day. Sunol, Palo Alto and Axtell have
been the great source of attraction, the California filly being
pronounced by all an ideal trotter.

Messrs. Miller & Sibley have sold to Sohmulback & Park,
Wheeling, "W. Va., the yearling colt Gold Coast by Election-
eer, dam Edith Carr by Clark Ctiief and the yearling colt
Golden Slope by Electioneer, dam Addie, the dam of Wood-
cut *2:16£. The price for the pair was $12,000.

Mr. Fred W. Loeber, one of the Directors of the P. C. T.
H. B A., has been confined lo his bed for a week or two,
but is once more able to be around. He reports the young
Alconas as being equal to anything in the land, but his first
love compels him to state that there are several Whippletons
that will enter the list this year.

Many times lately I have beard the remark, "things will
be quiet here this year as Marvin and Hickock have gone
| Bast". From present appearances it is susceptable of belief
that the present Season will surpass all former years in sur-
prises and sensational performers, there being many a "good
thing" stowed away on various of the breeding farms of the
State

The Southern California Handicap promises to be as pop-
ular with the horsemen of California as the Toboggan Slide
Handicap was with the Eastern horseowners. The Directors
of the Sixth District Agricultural Association made no mis-
take in giving a thousand dollar purse for a (2)mile race.
The best sprinters in the Btate will be sent to Los Angeles to
have a try for the money.

It would seem as if the California horses are coming rap-
idly to the front this year, as I see by our Eastern exchanges
• that a great deal of money has been placed on Salvator for
the Suberban. The colt is a good one, the distance suits
Trim well, and if Mr. Haggin is fortunate enough to have his
■colors pass under the wire first, his many California friends
will feel highly elated thereat.

Very nearly all of the Eastern "Hoss" journals have had
' accounts of the wonderful performances of Blue Belle on tbe
i -continent, but not one of them have stated that Blue Belle
; is identical with Mila C, 2:26A, a mare that is in bad odor
\ at present, owing to sharp practices played with ber by
, unaorupulous owners. Her American record of 2:26* was
i made at Chicago, 111., October '25, 1873. She is now one of
I the most noted trotting horses io Europe, and it is to be
1 hoped that she is in better hands than formerly.

Mr. Valensin has almost recovered from his late illness
and is able to be around once more. He has been requested
to act as the California representative for the Pacing Asso-
ciation that is now being completed in the East, and while
he oaDnot possibly attend a meeting of delegates which will
take place shortly, still it iB altogether likely that he will re-
tain the position of committeeman from this State.

DeLong's Ethan Alleo, son of E:hau Allen, was killed the
other day at the farm of his owner, Mr. Henry J. DeLong
of Shorebam, Vt. The old horse had become so infirm that
it was thought to be the part of mercy to put an eod to his
sufferings. He was foaled June 26th, 1858, and was the last
of tbe sons of the famous Ethen Allen. Holabird's Ethan
died last summer in Shelburn, Vt.

Mr. S. C. Ferguson, clerk at the Palo Alto Stock Farm, has
gotten up a book to enable horse owners to keep a correot and
accurate account of the horses which they may have entered
in stake races. The book is very complete in its way and
will be of great assistance to all owners throughout the coun-
try. I understand that Mr. Ferguson has copyrighted tbe
work and will be glad to receive orders for them from any
one who may desire to purchase.

We have had a very pleasant call this week from Dr. Aby
the superintendent of tbe Guenoc Stock Farm. He re-
ports that in two weeks at least, work will have commenced
on the new race track which is about to be completed at that
farm. No expense will be spared to make it one of the most
complete and attractive in the State, and it is to be hoped
that in the near future, many youngsters may emanate from
Guenoc, to do justice to that noted place.

W. H. Wilson of Cyntbiana Ky., proprietor of Abdallah
Park has added another choice raire to his collection in pur-
chasing of Mrs. A. P. Dills, Hopkinsville Ky. The mare
Colon (dam of Simmocolon, 5 yeare old, rec. 2:23£) by Strath-
more No. 408; 2nd dam Coral, (dam of Coralloid, 3 years old.
rec. 2:29*) by Clark Chief S9; 3d dam (dam of Caliban rec.
2:34, sire of C. F. Clay 2:1S, Coaster 2:26}. and Cylone 2:23*
he the sire of Dr. SparkB 2 year old rec 2:25J, and Gillette
2:25), by C. M. Clay Jr. 22. This mare is in foal to Sim-
mons 2:28,

To-day (Saturday) the Australian steamer will in all prob-
ability arrive with a large consignment of thoroughbred
mareB which have been purchased by Mr. Merry in the anti-
podes for Mr. L. J, Rose; a list of them haB already been
printed in our columns and on their arrival a personal in-
spection will be made so that we may be able to give our
readers next week a full account of what they look like.
From the breeding, the mares are everything that could be
desired and if their individuality is one-half a3 good, Mr.
Rose will have secured many fine brood animals for his es-
tablishment.

White Hat Dan McCarthy has left Chicago with his string
of California trotters and is now located at Fleetwood Park,
New York. Already he has had quite a number of them out
for inspection, showing up fast quarters and halveB, and
Dan always has an enthusiastic crowd around him when he
commences to talk of the merits of the horse3 from the Paci-
fic Slope. W. W. Mendenhall of Livermore is acting as mana
ger for Dan, and between thi two, no doubt they will make
many profitable sales.

On Wednesday afternoon there was probably no happier
man in San Francisco than Mr. Valensin of Pleasanton. As
stated in the gossip column a few weeks ago. Simmcoolon
has been sent back East to the stables of Jas. Goldsmith of
Dundee Park, New Jersey; on Wednesday afternoon Mr
Valensio received a telegram from Goldsmith stating that
Simmocolon had won a race in three straight heatB and re-
ceived a record of 2;23£, There were originally ten entries
for the purse but whether they all started or not it will be
impossible to tell until the Eastern papers arrive with an ac-
count of the race.

A letter from Secretary Sproul of the Chico Association in-
forms me that the Directors have decided to hold their fair
from August 26th to 30th inclusive. Five days' racing will
be given in which there will be many trotting, pacing and
running events. $6,000 will be hung np in purses, and there
will be for trotters a three-minnte 2:40; 2:35; 2:30 and 2:27,
and fonr-year-old classes, for paoers, a clasB for untried horses,
and a 2:25 parse; in the running events there will be a mile
dash, three quarters and repeat, half mile and repeat and a
mile and repeat; this is a good programme and should warrant
a large attendance.

The following clipping from tbe columns of a Cheshire
(Eogland) newspaper will give an idea of the big crowds
which turn out to the race3 in that country: "No fewer
than 60,000 passengers arrived at the Chester General Bail-
way Btation on the Cap day, which is stated to be by far
the largest number ever recorded on any similar occasion.
They were conveyed in 52 special and 228 ordinary trains.
The Cheshire Lines Bailway Company brought 12,000 pas-
sengers into the city, bringing up the total to 72,000 pas-
sengers on both systems, and it requires very little stretch
of the imagination to compute that double that number, or
close upon 150,000 people, were in attendance at the races
on the Cup day."

In a letter which I received this week from Terre Haute,
the bad news comes that Alfred. S. was kicked by another
horse one day last week, and Hickok has had to let np on
him. The letter was sent too 60on after the injury for my
inlormant to be able positively to say what the effect of the
injury would be. It is to be hoped that Alfred S is not per-
manently disabled, for his present mark would have been
reduced' this year barring accident. Arol, in the Marvin
string, of which mention has already been made in reference
to her injuries, will probably bs saved but will never be
able to race again. This is too bad, for Arol gave promise
of much speed, and her record of 2.25 is no where near what
she could have done.

I am sorry to have toaunounce the death of Fontana which
occurred at Mr. W. S. Hobart's Breeding Farm early in the
week. Fontana was abiown nure, foaled in 1879 by Almont
33, dam Fanny Williams by Alexander's Abdallah 15; 2nd
dam by Denmark; 3rd dam by Robert Bruce. Fontana was
bred by Gen. W. T. Withers of LexiDgton, Kentucky, who
soH her some years ago to the late Silas 8kinner; all of her
produce have been remarkably speedy, notably Flora Belle
by Alcona 730. Flora Belle made a record at Napa last year
of 2:25, and was shortly afterwards sold to Mr. Corbitt of
the San Mateo Stock Farm. At the late sale of brood mares
owned by Mrs. Silas Skinner, Fontana was sold to Mr. Ho-
bart for $4,400; she was in foal to Direotor which makes the
loss still greater; the cause of death is Baid to be colic.

My correspondent at Santa Barbara sends me word that
Carrie B. has foaled a bay filly with left hind foot marked
white and Bmall star in forehead by Alcazar. Canie B. is
by A. W. Riohmond; her foal is entered in the Breeder asd
Sportsman Futurity Stake; the filly is a most handsome one,
active, large aod intelligent.

At the track Geo. Sherman's two- year-old by Accident,
dam by Newry is doing excellent work, although exercised
but a dozen times he ran a quarter last week in twenty-four
and a half seconds; quite a number of gentlemen were pres*
ent and held watches on the colt while the feat was being
performed; a sport remarked after the ran "that colt can eat
his oats out of a silver bowl and drink out of agolden bucket
now.' I am glad that George has a good one. Fergusson
has the youngster in training.

For sometime it has been a mooted question as to which
of the two mares, Minnie Lee or Queen of the West had the
most speed, so a match race for $250 a side was made be-
tween T. J. Powers and Juo. D. Spreckles, the respective
owners of the mares. Tbe race took place on Wednesday
afternoon at the Bay District Track, there being a large at-
tendance of prominent horsemen. The judgeB for the occa-
sion were Messrs. Matthews, Perry and Gonzalez while the
timers were Messrs. Farrell, Dickey and Griffin. Jimmy
Dustin handled Mr. Spreckle'a Minnie Lee, while Jno. Green
held the ribbons over Qaeen of the West. The match was
won in three straight heats MinDie Lee winning in 2:324
2:29| and 2:31$. Queen of the West proved herself a good
mare but is yet a little rank, however, if she keeps on im-
proving, the day is not far distant when her owner will be
able to eay that he has a mare in the 2:30 list.

The race for the Jockey Club prize (the French Derby) was
run Sunday, June 1st, at Cbantilly. and was won by Baion
Both6child's chestnut colt Heaunie, by Hermit, out of Bella.
P. Auniont's chestnut colt Mirabeau, by Saxifrage, out of
Marionnette, was second, and Baron A. DeShickler's bay
colt Fitz-Koya, by Atlantic, out of Perplexite, third. The
last betting was 5 to 4 against Heaume, 4 to 1 against
Mirabeau and 6 to 1 against Fitz Boya. The other starters
and the odds laid against them were: Pour Point, 20 to 1;
Chalet, 14 to 1; Le Glorieux, 25 to 1; Reville, 50 to 1;
Cadi, 100 to 1. Twelve horses were entered. The absentees
were Alicante and LeNord. The field made an excellent
start. Chalet and Beville took the start, closely followed by
Heaume anl Fitz-Roya. At the rise Heaume forged ahead,
followed by Mirabeau, Fitz-Boya and Poor Point in the order
named. In the home stretch there was a lively struggle,
Heaume winning by one length, with Mirabeau half a length
in front of Fitz-Koya.

The dam of Darebin is dead. She was found dead in one
of the Bundoora Park paddocks a few days ago, aod upon
examination it was discovered that she had been shot, three
or four leaden pellets having passed through the skin into
the intestines. Mr. Gardiner thinks the death of the mare was
caused through some boys accidentally shooting her while
they were after parrots. Lorline was undoubtedly one of
the best mares that ever trod the Australian turf- She was
bred by Mr. S. Noswortby in New Zealand in 1869, and was
by the imported horse Traducer, from the imported mare
Mermaid, by King Tom. In New Zealand she proved the
champion mare of ber day, and amongst other races she won
the Canterbury Cup and Canterbury Plate twice. In 1874
she became the property of Mr. H. Bedwood and another,
and with her relative Calumny Bhe was brought to Victoria,
and ran at the V. K. C. Spring Meeting, but being altogether
out of sorts, she did not cut a very respectful figure. Short-
ly afterwards she was purchased by Mr. Samuel Gardiner
for 700 guineas, Mr. "W. E. Dakin having her placed in his
hands, and in her new owner's colours, she carried S3t lib,
and won the Australian Cup. In the Sydney Cup, with 9st
up, she ran a good third to Imperial, 7st 91b, At the same
meeting she beat Llama, Kingsborougu and Bedwood in the
All-Aged Stakes, and on the following day she defeated Tbe
Diver, Melbourne and Goldsborough in the A. J. C. Plate.
In May of the same year she journeyed to South Aastralia,
and with 9st lib on her back, won the Adelaide Cup very
easily, and on the third day of the meeting won the Qaeen 's
Plate. Mr, Gardiner put her to the stud in 1S76, and The
Peer was selected as her mate, the produce being a chestnut
colt, who was subsequently named Motea, but he did not
shine as a racehorse. In the following year she produced
Darebin to the same sire, and he proved himself one of tbe
best horses in Australia.

Norwich (Eng.) Mercury, May 10: "Mr. William Flanders'
brown four-year-old Hackney stallion Star of Mepal (1920)
was bought on Tuesday for £2,000 by Mr. H. L. Bloodgood
of Bloodgood stock farm, New Marlboro Mass., aDd is to be
shipped from London on 22d inst, with several other Hack-
ney— stallions and mares — which Mr, Bloodgood has bought
in the Eistern district. Star of Mepel was the reserve to
Mr. H. Moore's Kufus for the Becond Elsenham challenge
oup at the great London show ir. March last, and was deemed
the most likely candidate for champion honors at next show.
His breeding, as fully set forth in the Hackney Society's re-
port of the show juBt issued, shows that he traceB back to
the very best Hackney blood in Norfolk and Yorkshire.
His dam, Sunbeam. (337). 1b full sister of Mr. Flanders' Ke-
ality— champion of 1SS5' 1S87 and 1S8S. His sire, Star o
the North (1185), which has lately been exported to America
was lirBt-prize winner in the two-year-old class of the 18S5
Hackney Horse Society's Show. Much regret will be felt
that these horses, and Star of Mepol especially, should have
been lost to the country. There wer6 offers of £1,500 for
the Star of Mepal, but these were refused. We congratulate
Mr. Flanders on bis good fortune in breeding so valuable
a horse, and the Americans on having won such a prize. A
few months ago an American was desirous of buying Mr. C.
E. Cook's Cadet at £1,500 and Mr. Henry Moore is reported
to have refused an offer of £2,500 for the champion fcoree
Kufus. There can hardly be belter evidence required cf tbe
rise in the value of good Hackneys. Those who are keenly
watching tbe signs of tbe times say that the American de-
mand is going to be large and sharp. Such a purchase as
this of Star of Mepal, will add considerably to the cariosity
of the American mind as to the worth and origin of the
Hackney horse. That there is yet a great deal of ignorance
in America in regard to this variety of trotting horse is evi*
dent from a foot-note to an article on "Boad Horses" in the
Atlnntic Monthly for April. The writer, who would appear
to be an authority on trotting horee, informs bis readers
that »he Norfolk trotter is almost, if not wbolely extinct {!);
and he further demonstrates bow very little knowledge he
has by a speculation as to the breeding of Jary's Bellfonnder
on which he asserts that little or nothiog is known— as
though the Hackney Stud Book had no existence.

The State Fair.

The Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture ha8
sent us a note stating that the Executive Corumitteejhave
decided to make a number of changes in the programme
from the way in which it has been already advertised.
They have substituted for the free-for-all trotters a purse
of SI, 500 for the 2:20 class, and have also changed the
2:25 pacing race to a purse of $800 for the 2:30 class, and
the purse for the free-for-all pacers has been increased
to 81,000. In the course of a few days, in all probability
by next week, the entire programme in its amended form
will be advertised in the Breeder and Sportsman, so
that the horsemen of the State may know exactly what
the programme will be at Sacramento this year.

The Story of John Nelson-

Some weeks ago we promised the readers of the
Breeder and Sportsman that we were on the trail of
the persons who owned John Nelson at the time of his
death. It will be remembered that Wallace in his Tear
Books states that John Nelson 187 died in 1871; where he
could possibly have gotten his information is hard to
tell, for there are hundreds and probably thousands in
this State to-day who know that the old horse was alive
many years after that. Only a few months ago Mr. L
U. Shippee of Stockton sent back a large number of
mares to be registered, and among them were several
for which the sire's parentage was claimed as John Nel-
son £the Wallace Publishing Co. at once returned the
registration certificates and staled that it was impossible
forfMr. Shippee to haveauy mares by John Nelson born
after* 1872 as they had positive information jm the office
that John Nelson had died in 1871.

Mr. Henry Gore of Reno was the first person to send
to this office any data by which the true time of the
horse's "death could be found out, his^ letter was as fol-
lows:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Being an old sub-
scriber of your paper and reading it regularly every
week I find that there is a controversy on hand relative
to the time of the death of John Nelson. In 1877 I lived
in Colusa and had as a neighbor a man by the name of
Nathan Price, he went dowa to J_San Francisco and
bought from Jas. Eoff, the horse John Nelson who waB
at that time on a ranch owned by Messrs. Miller <fe Lux.
Price told me when he got him he was running out with
a band of mares and looked very bad; Price brought him
to Colusa, as near as I can remember, about the first
week in March of that same year; Price did not keep
the horse but about three weeks and then sold him to T.
B. Cooper who now lives in Adin, Modoc County, but
at that time lived in Colusa. My impression is that the
horse only lived a few months after Coopsr bought him
and he died on Cooper's ranch about one^ and a half
miles from the Town of Colusa.

Yours respectfully, Henry Gore.

A letter was at once sent to Mr. Cooper who is a well
known horseman, he being at present the owner of
Juanito, the sire of Almont Patcben 2:15. It could
hardly be expected that without books to refer to, that
one can remember the exact date of things that happened
over a decade ago. The answer to our letter to Mr.
Cooper is as follows:

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Your favor of the
26th inst duly received and contents noted.

In reply will say that I purchased the horse John Nel-
son 187 from a man by the name of Price sometime dur-
ing the Bpring of 1877. I at present know nothing about
the man Price, where he is or whether dead or alive. I
do not remember the exact date of the purchase of John
Nelson or the exact date of his death hut know that he
died in the fall of 1878. Yours respectfully,

T. B. Cooper.

These letters are at the office of the Breeder and
Sportsman and can be seen by any and all who are in-
terested in the John Nelson stock, and it is to be hoped
that in Wallace's future publications that he will cor-
rect the error which he has printed for so many years,
and givd the exact year of the death of John Nelson and
not claim, as at present, the year 1871.

Speed! Speed! Speed!

The marvelous results attained by the trotting frater-
nity in 1889, has led many to suppose that it would be
impossible to surpass them this season. Howevei, from
the present outlook we feel every confidence that 1890
will prove as sensational a year as was that of the one
preceding it. Already from all quarters of the country
come reports of fast quarters, halves and miles, each new
report surpassing its predecessor in sensation. Califor-
nia will be well represented not only on our own circuit
but 3lso in the East and there is no breeder in this State
but what feels that California will as usual head the list
with sensational performers during the coming racing
season. The runners are also doing well to uphold the
glory of our State, Geraldiue having acquitted herself
with glory in the Toboggan Slide Handicap, for although
beaten by half a length she was not disgraced, as the
three-quarters of a mile was compassed in the rematka-
bly fast time of l:10i; the difference in weight carried
between herself and Fides, who proved the victor, was
enough to accouut for her defeat. The Santa Anita
stable, the Hearst stable and the Haggin stable will be
heard from before long. Already two or three victories
have been secured by them and their representative
horses will soon be in fettle to assert themselves as the
superiors of all comers

Philosopher.

In the advertisement to be found in another columt
it will ba seen that Geo. E. Guerne, of Santa Rosa, offers-
for sale the exquisitely bred stallion Philosopher. This
representative of the Wilkes family was brought to Cali-
fornia some two years ago by Mr. J. W. Knox, and has-
since that remained in the neighborhood of Santa Rosa,
where he stood during the present season receiving many
high class mares. Philosopher should prove a valuable
horse for any of the many breeders throughout this
State. He is only four years old, his sire being Pilot
Wilkes 2987, 1st dam Bella by George Wilkes 519, 2nd
dam by Bell Morgan 61; Philosopher's sire, Pilot Wilkes
is by George Wilkes, dam Grace by Pilot Jr. 12. With
the contention that at present exists between
the believers in the Wilkes family and the many
who are partial to the Electioneers, it can be readily
imagined that there will be many of the former who will
try to secure possession of this finely bred young horse.

A Facing- Purse.

The Breeders' Association offers this week a purse of
$1000 for pacers eligible to the 2:20 class; the raca to be
mile heats best three in five and to take place at their
meeting this fall. Entrance to the purse is made on the
installment plan, the conditions being $100 entrance,
payable $20 on June 10th, $20 on July 1st, $20 on Aug.
ust 1st and §40 ten day* preceding the first advertised
day of the meeting. Horses need not be named until the
final pay men*.. There are a large number of the side
wheel brigade in California at present, eligible to and
qualified to pace for this handsome purse and as the
breeders are all now taking an active interest in the or-
ganization, we can believe that the entries will be large.
It should be understood by those who own horses eli-
gible for this purse that the nominator must be a mem-
ber of the Associatioa, this is readily accomplished by
sending to the Secretary, whose address will be found
in the advertisement, the membership fee.

Billiards.

The long expected billiard match between champion
Jacob Schuefer and Professor McCleery of this ci(y took
place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week*
and it must be confessed that the result was a source of
surprise to the friends of the Pacific Coast ehamoion.
Scbafer fairly outdone himself, and after getting the
balls together on the first evening McCleery was never
allowed another shot. The extraordinary run, 3,000
points, is a record, as tiat amount has never been made
before in a public match . The second contest took place
between "Napoleon" Ives and McCleery which also re-
resulted in the defeat of the California representative.
The two Eastern players have stamped themselves mast-
ers of the game and the exhibitions were witnessed by
many who take an active interest in this beautiful
pastime. We understand that there are two or three
matches on the tapis which will be brought to a conclus-
ion sometime during the coming week.

Hurstbourpe Stud Farm.
We have received from N. T. Harris, proprietor of the
Hurstbourne Farm the "most handsome catalogue that
has ever been sent to this office. As is well kncwn the
principal stallion is George Kinney who stamped him*
self as one of the best race horses of his day. The book
contains a full and complete list of all of Kinney's per-
formances and a very favorably mention is also made
of his full brother John Happy, now standing in Mr.
Haggins stud at Rancho del Paso. There is also enum-
erated a list of thirty seven brood mares, tbac which
there is no better in the country, all of the principal
brood lines represented in the English and American
stud books can be found permeating the veins of the
mares catalogued in the Hurstbourne book. The pro-
prietor, Mr. Harris, is known as one of the most progres-
sive brooders in the country; in addition to Kinney be
has Neptune, son of imp. Mortemer, dam imp. Highland
Lassie by Blair Athol; the third of the Btallioos is Sara-
cen, son of imp. Lemington, dam imp. Lurline by Gem-
mi di Yergy, It cannot be wondered at that such royal
brooding produces royal results, and the rlurstbourae
yearlings always command a ready sale in the markel

The Sonoma and Maria Futurity Stake.

that

*

There is every reason to believe that the Futurity
Stake lately opened by the Sonoma and Marin Agricul-
tural Society will have a generous support from those
who are in the district comprising Sonoma, Mariu,
Napa, Lake, Mendocino, Solano, Yolo, Colusa and Con-
tra Cost a. There is no section of the State where so
many highly bred horses are raised as in the counties
enumerated, and as Petaluma is one of the favorite
places on the circuit for horsemen to attend, we oaD be-
lieve that all breeders living in the district will heartily
support this new stake. Entrance does not close until
July 1st, bntwe are informed that already quite a number
of entries have been made which is an assurance that
the Futurity will be a pronounced success. The pay-
ments are easy and as follows: $5 on July 1, 1890, $5
on Januarv 2, 3891, $5 on July 1, 1891, $10 January
2, 1S92, SlOon July 1, 1892, Slo on January 2, 1893,
the last and final payment being $25 on July 1, 1893, in
which year the trot will take place. Wo fully expect
to receive an extremely large list of entries for this val-
uable slake from Secretary Maclay when it closes.

Pleaeanton Notes-

A telegram was sent to the office of the Breeder and
Sportsman on last Friday evening containing the information
that on the following day many of the fast trotters now at
Pleasanton Stock Farm would be worked out. A visit was
accordingly piid the next day to the home of Director, and
everything was fonnd in a 3tate of activity.

Mr. Salisbury has fully determined to start back East on
or about the 10th of this month; it is extremely probable
that the horses to be sent Eist will go by way of Jackson,
Grand Rapids and Saginaw, as that will BDable Andy Mc-
Dowell to drive eaoh of the horses a race or two prior to the
Detroit meeting. We were requested aB a particular favor not
to tell the time that was made by the several performers, yet
wonld very much like, as a matter of information, to let our
readers know how fast we saw a few of the good ones go,
still in deference to the wishes of the proprietor, that part of
the information gained will not be given, suffice it to say that
Direct is faster to-day than he ever was in his life, and there
is every reason to believe that before the end of the present
season, Margaret S. will have a record lower by several sec
onds than she has now.

Another of the speedy ooes which will be heard from later
on is Katie S., by Director, dam Alpha Medinm by Happj
Medium; this is a very fast mare, and it will be no trouble
for her to beat "twenty." The wiiter thongbt it was a grand
siaht to see Stamboul when he made his record of 2:12* make
his last quarter in 32^ seconds, and we do not think that we
are betraying con6dence in stating that we saw an animal
worked out a full mile at a very high rate of speed, the last
quarter of which was negotiated in faster time than Stambonl
made his last quarter in his memorable trial. This will
natnrally put horsemen guessing as to which of the Salisbury
contingent is the fastest, but the proprietor of thePIeaBanton
Stock Farm has so many good ones this year, that many sur-
prises may be expected from that quarter.

After the Detroit meeting, Mr. Salisbury will in all likeli-
hood ship his horses to Baffilo, and has already entries in
the 2:18 and 2:20 classes for trotters, and likewise has made
an entry in the pacing race there.

On Tuesday of this week El. LifFerty, trainer and driver
for Mr. Hugh KirkeDdall of Montana, left Pleasanton, where
he has been wintering his horses, for Helena, where they will
take part in the Montana circuit. Those betook wi'h him
were Erect, a two-year-old brother to Direct; Miss J. I. C,
two years old, by Direotor.dam bv Wilson's Blue Bull; Home-
stab by Gibraltar, dam Rate by Old Volunteer; Lady Maxim,
2:26i, by Maxim, dam Lady Graves by Smuggler; Mand J.
by Western Lad, dam by Golddust; Dolly by Mambrino Dia-
mond, dam by Live Oak, and also a gelding by HarvcBter. As
most of these are in good racing condition at present, it is
only fair to assume that they will earn their oats in the Mod.

tana circuit.

Dagworth's Letter.

At the present writing the meetiog at Westchester is at-
tracting considerable attention in the horse world and won-
derful p3rformances are crowding one another with a rapidity
that is truly astounding. It certainly looks as if Geraldine
Bhould have captured the Toboggan Slide Handicap. Mc-
Carthy made a serious blunder in not breaking away with
the leaders. I hardly thiok that Mr. Belmont would agree
to match Fides against Geraldine under theBama conditions
as these horse met in the Toboggan.

I heard a pool room frequenter remark the other day that
Russell is a greater two-year-oH than F.i Rio Key was. I
replied that it was rather early in the year to express Buch an
opinion. His answer was that El Rio Rey never met such
high class two years as Russell has. It is remarkable how
quickly the general public forget a brilliant performer. It
was certainly a great performance for a two-year-old to run
half a mile in 46| seconds, but it should not be forgotten that
when El Kio Rey struck Westchester last Feason that he was
called upon to pack a small sized house. If my memory is
not at fault, Cayuga was considered the invincible two-year-
old in the East about this time la3t year, but before the end
of the season there were a number who showed their heels to
jhe Iroquois colt. Therefore I think it rather premature to
deb RuBsell a greater two-year-old than Ei Rio Rey. The
Beason is quite young and a number of gilt edged two year
olds have not yet faced the starter,

E-perarjza ran third in the Debutante Stakes, five-eighths
of a mile, which was won in the record time of 59 seconds.
A race between the California fillies, Fairy and Esperanza,
would be worth going a long way to see. It would be no
easy matter to pick the winner.

Tne Eastern turfites will find out before another moon
that Eacine is a worthy substitute for El Rio Rey if the re-
ports now in circulation about Mr. Winters' colt are straight.
It is to be hoped, however, that El Rio Rey will be himself
again when he next comes to the post.

By the way, what a pity it is that Racine i3 not entered in
the American Derby and some of the other big three year old
events. Racine could win that Derby to a certainty. The
failure to enter many of the big stakes has robbed California
of at least two hundred thousand dollars in the past two years.
What was to prevent El Rio Rey from winning the Junior
Championship and the Futurity in 1SS9? There will be a
gnashing of teeth along the line because Racine has not en-
tered in some of the big money events,before we are all three
months older.

The L03 Angeles Derby gives promise of being hotly con-
tested. The event will be decided on the opening day of the

grand circuit at Los Angeles on August 4th, and several
horses are now in training f or the Derby in different parts
of the State. I think that it was a very judicious move on
the p»rt of the Directors of the Sixth District Agricultural
Association to have twelve running races on the programme.
It wa3 also wise on their part to give more money than
heretofore. The Southern California Handicap for a purse
of $1,C00 promises to catch a big entry. The distance is to
the liking of the majority of horse owners, and many of
California's crack sprinters will, no doubt, meet in this jj
mile race. The directors are negotating with the railroad
people and expect to get a liberal rate for the transportation
of horses and the men connected with the 6tables. It is the
intention of the association to offer every inducement for
horseowners to visit L03 Angeles in August.

The knights of the Bulky should bear in mind that nomina-
tions for the 2:30|class for a purse of $l,500,must be made on
or before next Monday week, June 16th. The conditions of
the event are most liberal. The readers of thiB letter, who
reside in the Sixth Congressional district, should also remem-
ber that nominations for the district trotting stakes for 1890
and 1S91 also close on June 16:h. It might not be out of
place to remark that horses owned in Fresno, San Luis
Obitpo, Tulare, Kern, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles,
San Bernardino, Orange and San Diego counties, are eligible
to entry. This is a big district, and a creditable list of entries
should be obtained. Southern California is, and has been,
the home of many well bred Eires who will, no doubt, be
well represented in the colt stakes. The prcgtny of several
recent importations are not old enough to trot this year, but
the owners of colts should not fail to enter them before next
Monday week in the stakes of. 1891.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

L. J. Rose is domiciled at the Hoffman House, New York.

E. B. Giffjrd was op from San Diego last week.

What Ho was sent a half in 1 :09 the other day. He pulled
up lame, and his owner thinks that he will never again start
in a race.

Ed Smith has commenced to jog Ridical.

E Dupuy is the latest addition to the ranks of the breeders
of Southern California. He has purchased a farm near Los
Angeles, and will breed trotters.

Mr. Rudisil, another gentleman interested in raising trot-
ters, has purchased Orphan Girl. He will start the mare in
the slow classeB at the coming meeting. The same gentleman
has bred four mares to Atto Rex. Dagworth.

Rysdyk's Hambletonian

The following we olip from The Horse Breeder, and feel
that it will be of much interest to cur readers, as it is from
the pen of an eminent writer, and one who fully knows what
he is writing.

In answer to an inquiry of mine, the famous New York
auctioneer , Peter C. Kellogg recently seDt me the following
highly interesting letter. I have his permission to make it
public. Hannibal.

'On Nov. 18, 1873, when the horse was twenty-four years
old, I made a very careful measurement of Hambletonian.
I was assisted by Mr. Guy Miller. In measuring his height
at the withers, I was astonished to find that he was only
fifteen hands and one fourth inch, whereas measured at the
highest point behind he was fifteen hand 2J inches.

It must not be inferred, however, that because Hambleto.
nian measured so low at the withers he was an under-sized
horse He was very peculiarly formed. The tops of bis
Bhonlder blades were so far apart that his withers rather sank
between than mounted above them. The withers were very
low and thick It must be remembered, too, that apart
from his natural formation, which would make him measure
'low for his size,' two other matters had possibly contributed
to reduce his normal measurement. He was very old and
had covered excessively.

"Whether by r«asoa of covering or for whatever cause, his
fore le gs were much wider apart at the brisket than when he
was in his prime. Possibly with this widening of the fore
Ieg3 his chest had stttled Bomewhat between them, and con-
seauently the structure above had settled with it, causing
him to measure less at the withers.

"Again, some years previous he had been attacked with
an inflammation which settled in his froot feet causing such
agony that Mb owner believed he would die. An expert
named Danb^r, of somewhat sensational repute in those
days, asked Mr. Rysdyke to let him operate on the horse's
feet, assuring hira that he could relieve the pain and save
the horse, but it wonld ruin his feet for anything but mod-
erate use.

"At the last moment Mr. Rysdyke consented. Dunbar
was as good as his word, and in 15 minutes the horse was
walking on the gra&B free of pain, but the feet were so cut
away as to cause the crust to opan and the sole to lose its
arch, settling on the ground like a pomaced foot. I always
thought that he lost something in height of foot at that
time which he never reoovered. Originally he had a splen-
did foot, but after the operation the whole sole of the foot
pressed on the groand,

•'Hambletonien was not an under-sized horse. Except
his low withers he was fully a 15.2 horse, of great length,
and his other measurement was proportioned to a horse
15 2 or over. He was in high flesh when this measurement
was taken; in faot, until he shrunk from age, he always cir-
ried full stud condition without reaching the stage of obesity .
In that condition be must have weighed 1, 100 pounds.

,(At the time of his measurement, Hambletonian was still
foil of animation and vim. His groom, who had been "tak-
ing a horn," shouted at him, and he flew around his box
like a wild horae. He showed no signs of age except that
his back was swayed, and there was a slight enlargement of
the glands at the throat.

"In his walk, Hambletonian was the most elastic horse I
ever Raw, and there was oily litheness to every movement
that deprived him of any approach to the stolid appearance
whioh his photographs show. He was the personification of
action, suppleness and power, and his excess of these qual-
ities imparted to him a grace of movement such as I have
never seen equaled in any other horse. Truly be was the
king. "Peter C. Kellogg."

Will you tell me through the columns of your paper, how
many crosses it takes to produce a standard bred mare; com-
meneiog with a cold blooded mareand aBtandard-bred horse?

Answer.— If you mean a thoroughbred, 6ve complete
crosses; if a trotting mare, she must be by a standard horse
and out of a mare by a standard horse.

1. Is California Foxbunter (sire of Dirigo, 2:27) the horse
that is registered as Jerry Lad (»ire of Hunter, 2:25£.) 2. Has
California Foxbunter any record, and has he more than one
2:30 performer to his credit. 3. Can you give breeding of
California Foshunter?

Answer. — We do not know. There is absolutely nothing
known about Foxhunter. We only had one 2:30 performer.

Please let me know if possible the pedigree of Arno. (2)
What is the pedigree of Battler, and what is his record. (3)
What is the dam of Pocahontas and her breeding.

Answer.— Arno wai by Buccaneer, dam by Volscian. (2) If
you mean Werner's Battler, 2:35. (3) The dam of Poca-
hontas has always been given as by Glencce. The Coons
Bros., of Elk Grove, Surameoto Co., bred her, and from
them you can get the information.

THB CENTURY RUN.

53 Wheelmen Ride to Hollister.

The great century run of the California Division L. A. W.
took place on Sunday last, and from every point of view was
a glorious success. The start was to take place from the
corner of 21st and Mis3ion Btreet at 5 o'clock m the morning.
At the appointed hour sixty wheelmen were at the rendez-
vous and each and every man seemed anxious for the fray.
It was twenty minutes past 6ve when the bugle announced
the stirt, and the men shot away at a very rapid pace.
Breakfast was partaken of at Milbrae, the wheelmen reach-
ing there at 6.45 a. m. San Jose wa* reached at 12, and the
tired riders enjoyed a fine loncb which had been specially
prepared for them. With the exception of a few wheelmen
who grew tired or whose wheels broke down, the company
reached their e'estioation, Hollister, at 7 p. m., thus cover-
ing the entire distance, 100 miles, in thirteen and one-half
hours, averagiog 101 miles per hour riding time. Fifty-
three wheelmen reached Hollister. The roads were not in
good condition and unfavorable for record breaking. The
world's record for the League Century run including time,
number of starters, etc , were broken. The men from the
Bay City wheelmen furnished and made a world record for
their club.

The wheelmen took supper at Hollister and after resting a
short time started on to view the town. A special train,
which was paid for by the L A W, left there ae 9p.m, and
on it the fatigued knights of the wheel returned, reaching
San Francisco next niomiog at 1 o'ebek. Tbe run was a
decided success, and wilt be the means of ooomiog cycling
during the present year.

VETERINARY.

Conducted by W. Henry Jones, M. B. C. V. S.
Subscribers to this paper can have advice Ihrough this column in
all cases of sick or injured borses or cattle by sending an explicit de-
scription Of tbe case. Applicants will 6end tbeir name and address
that they may be identified. Questions requiring answers by mail
should be accompanied by two dollars, and addressed to W. Henry
Jones, M. R. C. Y. 8., Olympic Stables, butter Street, San Francisco.

M. G. W:

I have a bay colt four years old, that haa been lame for
Borne time in oue of his hind legs. People say that he has
got a bone spavin forming. If so can yon advise me what
is the beBt thing to be doDe. He has been broken now, two
years and has shown signs of lameness for about twelve
months.

Answer. — If you take my advise, I would have your colt
examined by a qualified veterinary surgson, and abide by his
deoision. Id the event of you not being able to do so, I will
aivise you to blister the hock with biDiodide of mercury 2
drams, vaseline one ounce. Be carefal to lie up the colt by
the head for about four days, and also the tail. At the ex-
piration of four days, dres3 the hock with olive oil and give a
little exercise. Ke3p on low diet and give a small dose of
■carthartic madicine. Write again io two weeks, stating if
there is any improvement.

Liaminitis or "Founder in Horses."

IBy Dr. W. H*nry Jones, M. B. C. V. S.]

Many enquiries relative to this disease have recently been
made through the medium of the Breeder and Sportsman.
I deem it advisable, under the circumstances, to give our
readers a short article on the causes of the disease, and also
the treatment. The disease may arise from a variety of
causes, among them being the common cause, namely, over-
driving, and then allowing the animal to Btand in a draugbt,
and in all probability giving tbe horse a large qusntitv of c . Id
water.

Another prevalent cause is when the animal is in a heated
condition, giving, or allowing to be givan, a large quantity of
food, such as barley, wh?at, and other highly nitrogenous
m iterial.

I have frequently Been horses in England which have
broken loose at night, and when found io tbe morning, suf-
fering the most intense agony, and quite unable to stand.
Recently a case came under my notice, where a valuable
horse was driven into town, a distance of about three miles,
hia Bhoes removed, and then driven back, but unfortunately
for the owner, the driver sent him along fast in tbe park, and
the result was :hat laminitis supervened, and the probability
i3 that the horse is permanently injured.

It frequently happens that an owner may have the misfor-
tune to have a horse "foundered," and the services of a veter-
inary surgeon cannot beobtained.it becomes a question as
what is best to be done. In all cases I would advise the
removal of tbe shoes, and if possible, get the sole3 pared
down; put the feet in hot water or poultices, and continue
the treatment for several days. Administer a strong cathar-
tic, say six to seven drams of aloes, combined with about one
dram of ginger, the latter to avoid griping. Keep the horse
on a soft, low diet, such as bran mashes and linseed. The
horse must be kept perfectly qaiet, and on no account should
-exercise be given. It ha3 been recommended by some veter-
inary surgoons that heavy bar shoes be put on, and the
patient exercised constantly, but this theory is not borne out
by such high authorities as Dr. George Fleming, Professors
Williams and Pritcbard, who are entirely opposed to that
course of treatment, and from my own personal experience of
over fifteen years, I have found it a failure.

After the treatment I have recommended, if there is no
bulging of the Bole or any serouB effusion round the coronary
region, I would suggest that the animal be turned out to
pasture for three or four months, the pasture to be Goft and
m irshy if available.

The disease may manifest itself again in the event of a fast
drive, and I would advise any owner who has the misfortune
.to possess a horse that has been foundered, to sell or trade
the animal away to the best advantage.

One of the common results of laminitis is to Bee the horse
traveling on bi3 heels, and I have frequently Been cases
where disintegration of the fibre* of the tendons had taken
place, and the poor, unfortunate beast going with the fetlock
on the gronnd.

In all such cases the animal should be destroyed at once,
but I regret to state that I saw a case of this sort, within six
weeks, in this city, the animal being driven by a Chinaman.

For grubs in horseB Simmons Liver Regulator is the be3t
remedy I have lound; it has saved many horses and muleB
fjrme. Use my name as you wish in praise of the Regula-
tor. — W. A. Cheery, Macon, Ga.

"I am of the opinion that the mechanical structure most
desirable Id the trotter is also tbe most desirable in the run-
ner and vice versa.

"There does not appear to me to be any logical reason for
supposing that a horse's heart, lungs, arteries, veins, per-
form their functions any differently when he trots than when
he ronB."

It is true that the muscles, arteries, veins, nerves, boneB
and vital organs are similar in all horses, and by tbe dissec-
tion of them and learning the etructure, we can possibly say
they have identical parts and wholes, yet we will find the
same parts differently developed in individuals.

This fact is so well known to anatomists that in the dis-
secting 100m a skilled anatomist can, with almost an exacti-
tude, tell the trade, art (and I wa<3 nearly saying the profes-
sion; if I had, it would be not far erroneous) that the cadaver
in life pursued.

Man and woman, although to the laity apparently different
in construction, are identical in parts. This seems to my
non-professional readers false, still the very parts of the fe-
male that distinguish her from tbe male are possessed by
him; and the parts of the male that distinguish him from the
female are potsessed by her. The only difference is their de-
velopment and function. Yet by all the human processes
knuwn, male cannot be developed into female, nor the female
into the male, although each can be approximated some-
what, changed in appearance and function to the other — the
hairy woman, the nursing man, the hermaphrodite and other
observed conformations.

The trotter and the rnnner and the pacer are also identical
of parts, differing in individual development and function, as
the subsequent needs and nses of the animal require A run-
ner cannot trot any more tban a trotter can ron (understand
me, I am speaking of pure, fast gaits). To an anatomist and
physiologist, the function and the development of the trot-
ting muscle from an original running mnscle is a? impossible
during the life of one animal, as it is impossible to develop
the mammas of the man into the breasts of the woman. It
can be and has been done, bnt the results is not commensu-
rate with the effort ordinarily. The natural function and
development of the female mamma is consistent, continuous,
beautifnl, symmetrical and useful; the development of the
male's is laborious, intermittent, requiring continued exer-
cise, and once in a life time useful, interrupt the excitant
and the function and the orgim relapse into innocuous de-
suetude. The experiment, like developing the trotter from
the runner, may be interesting and instructive, but faw anat-
omists and physiologists would advocate leaving the mother's
breast and developing tbe father's because it may be or has
been done a few times when necessity compelled. Nor would
they advise tint such changed fnnction am advanced devel-
opment were more prolific and beneticial than the harmony
of function and the symmetry of development — the utile re-
sults of procrealive forces of natnre. Palo Alto may trot, and
the slave may have furnished milk from hiB own breast for
hiB baby master; still experience, scienoe or utility would
hesitatingly imitate snch isolated samples of experiment or
necessity, unless other and better methods were unknown or
unavailable, and if adopting them, they would not ignore the
fact that nolens volens, the milk gland and milk tube, gave
the milk, and the trottting organs made the trot, and the
running machine maie the run, wherever found, whether
from natural or artificial causes.

The scientific law — the law of conformity to type — teaches
that there is one kind of life of man, another life of beasts,
another of fishes, and another of birds, each distinct, each
forming its own finished being, but always in conformity to a
Bpecitic type It is as Hammond says; ''The potter who
segments the worm, the potter who forms the horse, and the
potter who molds the man." Not the same potter, but each
individual potter molds his matter in exact conformity to his
pre-existent type, and to no other and in no combination —
the same to-day, to-morrow and forever. He molds the mus-
cle, the artery, the nerve, in accordance with the predeter-
mined type, and the result is conformity — trot with trot, run
with run, leap with leap, cry with cry, et al.

The second generation by judicious breeding — poltering —
may approximate the average or the unity of characteristics
and parts of the parents, but it is not a combination or divis-
ion; each potter molds his own, the most potent crowding
out the weaker and usurping the place. The scientist does
not say, "changed" but '"dominant." Onr dissecting rooms
and the experience and observation of medical men in every
day practice of their profession furnish proofs — a simple in-
stance, the right arm, hand and fingers compared with the
left; the heredity of the syphilitic, the consumptive, or the
scrofulous; and yet I recall not an instance where the inher-
ent function and action of a mnscle, or nerve, or artery, eot.,
has been converted into something other than its natural
function, or natural expression of action. We often find
complexity ingrafted to simplicity, development and growth
of material and function by the ingrafting of similar but
more potent. The movements of walking, throwing, run-
ning, jumping, lifting, trotting, pulling, kicking, pacing,
stricking, vaulting, rolling and other action are simple and
easily distinguishable by an anatomist and physiologist. I
think you would receive a unanimous response from them
that each of these movements are intrinsically and exhanst-
ingly differentiated from another of them; if walking, how
pleasantly the child rests by a skip, hop and jump; if lifting,
to rest by a pull; if running, to rest by a short gallop; if trot-
ting, to rest by a jump or two, etc. This rest tells us natur-
ally and forcibly that these muscles, arteries, nerves, etc , act
in their own way — possess their own function and are rested
by self quietude and by another set in motion. It is the
mere numerously accepted idea that each motion, each part
has its own special nerve fiber. While one is at work the
other is at rest, when the motion is changed the fiber is
changed.

Every part and parcel of the animal body rests in varying
intervals, long orshort, orordioary imperceptibly. The heart,
arteries and nerves, by all my lay readers, are supposed to be
restless; to them a period of rest for the heart means death;
its stopping ends life; yet these organs absolutely rest a long
time during the twenty-four hours, and this rest is as essen-
tial to their well being and to the continuance of health, and
for our own preserve, as rest to the eye, to the brain, to the
stomach, to the limbs, etc , is required by onr sensibilities to
fatigue and by our sensations of comfort. PI -ice your finger
on the radical pulse, or lay your ear to the chest of your
friend (not the lady's, of course), and you hear the heart beat,
beat, beating— lub, dob and repeat; each stroke is work, each
silence is rest, thus the heart works alternately end rests al-
ternately io tbe same manner that the eye, the liver, the
brain, the stomach and the muscles do, differing by the in-
tervals. Arleiies, nerves and every organ, and the condui's,
have periods of rest likewise; work is performed by all under

their respective stimulus, pabulum, vital force, blood, food,
etc.

Remark: This fact is important and confronts the primary
basis of development, of performance, and of endurance;
each organ, nerve, muscle, etc., must be worked and rested
after its own kind and not inconsistent to its structure or
fnnction; if you work or rest the heart, the great cardiac
miiBole. as you do the h<p, the great gluteal muBcle; if yon
work and rest the arterial system as yon do the portal syB-
tem; if you rest the extensor muscles as you do the flexor
muscles; or the arterial system as you do the nervous sys-
tem; or, to exemplify more minutely, if yon work and rest
the jumping muscles as you do the running muscles— were
were any of these instances possible under the present struc-
ture of the horse -yon would produce death or deterioration
of function or substance.

The bearing of all these militates positively against the
position that "there does not appear any logicil reason for
supposing that a horse's lungs, arteries, veins and nerves
perform their functions any differently when he trots than
when he runs *'

Now turn to the movements of the runner and the trotter;
the runner rests hi3 musoles, his nerves, his arteries, his
heart, and all his body on the jomp; his rest is altogether
aniatonce; his work is the propulsion of his body all to-
gether and at once; his rest is the time he is passing over and
on, and at the moment of contact with the track; it may be
Bhort. and it matters not how short, it is the natural way of
rest and recuperation during the supreme efforts, for hi9
muscles, heart, nerves, etc ; rest them some other way and
something fails — speed or endurance or life.

The trotter, on the other hand, propels his body by the ac-
tion of first one tide, then the other— half at rest, half at
work; alternately the muscles of one side work and rest with
the other Bide, and it is the natural inherent way. Of course
the alternate action may not be entire and perfect, bnt the
distinction from the jump is; change his rest any other way
and, provided the extreme effort continues, something fails —
speed or endurance or life. In both these instances the same
ac. ion must continue, running or trotting; of course this is
impossible, for if the rest is in another way, the action will
not be identical, but something else; still it enforces the idea
that the trotter cannot run by the same action, the same
fanction, or the same instrumettalities with which he trots,
and likewise the runner cannot trot with tbe same action, or
function, or instrumentalities with which he runs.

If the foregoiog reasoning from anatomy, physiology and
soience is correct and applicable, the horse's heart, lungs,
nerves, arteries, veins perform their functions entirely differ-
ent when he trots than when ha runs.

'Tis true the heart beats and rests when the horse trots and
when he runs; the arteries carry the bl >od and the veins
return it; the lungs receive it, either forced by muscular ac-
tion from all parts of the body as once, or half and half from
one side, then the other; the roerves incite contraction and
expansion of muscles; the vital force plays its part, but all is
done under different impulses and with different concomi-
tants dependent upon the objects desired — one the trotting,
the other the ranning, and the other pacing. — Wallace's
Monthly.

I use Simmons Liver Regulator for my stock, horses and
mules; it is the best medicine I know of. In cases of colic
in stock it will save them if given in time. Recommend it.

Peter Mclniyrc Defeats Little in lue Sliort Race.

About sis thousand persons attended the '24th grand gath-
ering and games of the San Fiaocisco Caledonian Club which
were held at Shell Mound Park. Berkeley, on Saturday last.
May 31st. The track on which the running events were de-
cided was in fair condition and measured ten laps to the
mile. The most exciting event of the day was the short race
for members of the club. Two of the best runners in Amer-
ica were among the contestants, Peter Mclntyre and J. C.
Little. It wa3 almost an assured fact tbafr Little would win,
as lately he has made some very extraordinary time in priv-
ate trials. There were a good many present, however, who
were willing to back "old reliable" Peter and their expecta-
tions were foily lealized for he won by about two feet. The
performances on the whole were np to the average. The fol-
lowing is a list of the games with the names of the winners
and the value of the prizes: (club members only)

VICTORIOUS OLYMPIANS.

They Easily Win the Much-Coyeted PenDaut.

<;kam> opemng of the new Olympic groiads,

A tars© Audience and fine Sport- f oh n Pnrcell and
James Jarvis Lowers Some of the Coast Records.

The new out-door grounds of the Olympic Club were form-
ally thrown open to the public on Friday. May SOth (Decora-
tion Day) and an nnusually large crowd of people were pres-
ent on the occasion. The grounds were opened with the
annual championship games of the Pacific Coast Amateur
Athletic Association, which this year were held under the
auspices of the Olympic Athletic Club. The games were
announced to take place at 1 p. m. sharp, and long before
that hour the park and Cliff House train brought hundreds
of people to the scene of the great contest for supremacy.
Owing to some misunderstanding, however, the sports did
not begin until nearly two o'clock. At half past one o'clock
the flag, which hong at half mast over the grand stand, was
hoisted, and the gentleman who hoisted it aonouDced that
the new out-door grounds of the Olympic Athletic Club were
nrw formally opened.

A lond cheer went op from the audieoce when the flag
was hoisted and immediately afterwards the officials began
to taie their positioos and the contestants were ordered to
get ready. It was 1 45 when the first race was started. It
is unnecessary to describe the new grounds as full descrip-
tion of the track, dressing room?, etc. have appeared in these
cotomoB already. The reporters stand is situated in one of
the most unsheltered parts of the ground directly opposite
the grand stand. It occupies a position where the men of
the presB cannot fail to catoh the full force of the ocean
breeze, which on the opening day was rather loo strong to be

appreciated. The day reminded one of the "raw and gosty
day" when Caesar and Cassius plunged into the troubled Ti-
ber, The wind was alarmingly strong and rendered fast
time impossible. Had the weather been favorable many coast
recordB might have been broken. The reporters were obliged
to strap themselves down to the benches in order to avoid
being blown out to sea. Their reporting sheets ware cast
on the wind and carried away ont of eight and nvany of them
were tempted to give up in despair, ft seemed a* "if Boreas
had some special wrong to avenge, so furious wan he in bis
efforts to move the entire gronnds farther cityward- The
loose cinders on the track were blown in all directions and
men had to be placed at each set of hordles to stop them from
being blown away. The management of the games were per-
fect and the audience had no complaints to make, except
towards the close of the programme when things began to
lag. The programme was rather too long, owing to the in-
troduction of some special non-championship events for
members of the Olympic Club only. These races might
have been left out on the occasion of a championship meet-
ing.

Thanks to Captain George W. Jordan, the Olympic boya
showed up io grand form and each man as be stepped within
the enclosure had a look of confidenc9 stamped on his face.
The Berkeley students looked determined rather than confi-
dent while the few representatives from the Alpine Club
walked around with an air of indifference. Little and Gal-
ney of the latter club did not compete and their absence
probably lost some points to their club. "When the games be-
gan at the lowest calculation there were 3,000 people on tho
grounds, the grand stand being fairly packed. It was per-
haps one of the most unenthosiastic audiences that ever as-
sembled at an athletic meeting. It was fashionable, but cold;
in fact painfully eo, and except when the College boys pent
np their war hoop of "Ha! ha! Cal if-or-nia. 0C. D C. Ziz,
boom; bah!" and the Olympians used their tisb horns ar-
nounciug victory on either side not a sound could be heard
save the howling of the wind through the fences. Each time
Schefferstein made his appearance a boz of admiration went
through the auJience and when S. V. Cassady on his way
back to the dressing room passed in front of the grand stand
the ladies bowed and smiled and waved their tioy handker-
chiefs at that premising young sprinter. A Field captain is
everything to a club and some of the other clubs should fol-
low t e examples of the Olympic Club in selecting an active
and energetic man for that position. Captain Jordan de-
serves cruise for the great interest which he took in every
member of his team. The official announcer, J. F. Larkin
also deserves a word of praise fcr the brave manner in which
he stuck to his post by the black board in the fa^e of a cy-
clone. The Marshal's were not called upon to perform any
extra duty for the reason that the enclosure is an aDgle so
that outsiders cannot enter without permission. Several
handsome flag? floated over the Grand Stand and all aroond
the grounds, and a handsome flower bed with the letters O.
A. C. io the middle appeared on the slope opposite the
Grandstand.

THE FIRST EVENT.

The first event was the one hundred yards run. There
were four heats. V E Schifferstein, O A C, won the first heat
easily by G yards in 10 3-5 seconds. F G O'Kane, O A C, was
second and J C Ainsworth, V C 3d by 2 yards. The second
heat was won by S V Csssidy, O A C, by 1} yards in 10 4-5
seconds. B Gallagher, U C was second, De Winter, U C,
third. This was a close and exciting race and the winner
proved himself to be a strong finisher. Heat JSn. 3 was won
by J D Harris, G C A C by 6yds in 10 4-5secs; E Mays, U C,
2nd, F W McXear, U C, 3rd. The fourth heat was very
tame. J O'Kane and J Kortick, both of the O A C, simply
cantered over the course. They arranged to run a dead heat
which they did. No time given.

JARVIS EREAK.STHE RECORD.

The next event was the one mile walk. There were five
starters. Jarvis, the ex-English champion, at once cut out
the pace and astonished the audience with his wonderful
p r de. He is a small man in comparison with Coffin an< Cxk
but nevertheless he can take a long stride. Jarvis watkeo
as unconcerned as if he was walking alone, and neTer once
tnroed his head to look at the men who were struggling be-
hind him. He walked a good steady gait and proved that he
is one of the fastest as well as squarest heel and toe artists in
America to-day. He made the mile in 7:03 breaking the coast
record of 7:104 held by C. B Hill. Had the wind been less
severe Jarvis might have done five seconds better. Coffin
walked good but rather loose. He finished second in 7:21.
Cook, of the Alpine Club, tooK third place and promises to
do better in the future. He has a tine square gait but needs
experience. He walked under S minutes. Landnianu, O A C,
gave up and the TJ C man Ftulkes got fourth place. Foulkee,
who is a novice, should improve with practice as he has a
fine stvle. The following is the time which Jarvis made: 1
lap. 1:01; 2 laps,2:10; half mile,3:10; 4 laps, 4:34-5 laps, 5:52;
1 mile, 7min Ssecs,

MORE SPRINTING.

100 yard run, second trials — 1st heat, Schifferstein, O A C,
1st by 4yds; Gallagher, U C. 2nd; Cassidy, O A C, 3rd. Time,
10 2-5 sees. Second heat, Mays, U C, 1st; Harris, G C A C,
2nd- F O'Kane. O A C, 3rd Time, 10 3 Ssecs.

120 yard hurdle— John Pu cell. O A C. 1st by 2ft; HC
Moffitt, D C, 2nd; W WrigL», TJ O, 3d. Time, IS 3-5bbop.
This was an exciting race and Moffit's friends were sadly
disappointed at his defeat. Had he been in good condition
he would most noqnestiouably have wou.

HI1HTER-TEIN WlHS.

The final heat of the one jhnndred yard run was oextl de-
cided. The champion Victor E Sohtffdrstein. of the O A C,
had no trouble in winning, Jis time being 10 2-5secs; Mays,
UC2od: Gallagher, TJ C, third.

A half mile run for Olympic novices was next railed. H
M Collins led all the way and wou handily by I5yda in 2miu
17Jsecs: E M Francis, 2nd; W H Toomey, 3d.

John PnrcMI, O A C. put the 16 Hi shot 37fl and won that
event; L E Hunt. 0 C, was 2nd with 36 It; A G Roberta put
the ball 32ft Oin and got third plac

A IA-T QT/ARTEB.

Only five men toed the scratch for the quarter mile run
although there were twelve entered.

WidhIow, of the O A C. the favorite, was unable to start,
owing to illness, and it whs thoogbl that the rnce would lay
between Garrison of the Alpine and Henderson of the <> A *
A surprise was in store, however, for the Rpeotators, and Ibe
Olympic fraternity were astonished when Sieve Caeady went
to the front nnd won a grand race by several f-et in the fast
time nf 52 4 5 second*. Garrison wan pocketed early in the
race, and so lost all chance of winning. F W MoNear, 0 <*.
wa** second, and A S Henderson, O A <'. third. Ca«ady ran
in great style, and promises to turn out an American cham-
pion. He is a very strong runner.

JARVI3 AGAIN TO THE FRONT.

Only fonr out of six entries appeared at the starting post
when tbe three-mile walk was called. The men all looked
fresb after their previous race. At the crack of the gnn Jar-
vis again took the leid, and before the first half mile wbb
finished, his opponents were hopelessly in the rear. In this
race he walked even better than he did in the one mile race,
and his Btyla was so ea-*y that a person coul 1 look at him
walk all day aod not tire of the task. JarviB would certainly
make the pace hot for Lin*e or Nicholl, and tbe O A C
should send him in company with Schifferstein to Washing-
ton, D. C, to compete in the American championship meet
ing, he would bring credit upon his club. Coffin, and Csok
walked Bide by Bide, aod at any stage of the race the two men
were never mare than a yard apart. Coffin was a little too
confident, and narrowly escaped defeat at th1) hands of the
Alpine man, wham he beat for second p'ace by only six
inches. Cook should beat Coffia next year at this distance-
Cjffio's time was 25 min. 31 A- sees. FoulkeB, of the U. C,
should have retired on the first mile, as he was sadly in tbe
rear. He finished the pntire distance and amused the spec-
tators with an exhibition of fair, bat very slow walking. Jar-
vis made the three-miles as follows: I mile, 3m 33s; 1 mile, 7
min. 26 sees; 1J mile*, 11:28; 2 miles, 15:23 3-5; 2£ miles,
19:33, and 3 miles in 25 min. 31 1-5 sees.

PURCELL BREAKS THE POLE VAULT RECORD.

Parceil, O A C, vaulted 9ft 4iin with the pole, and broke
the previous Pacific Coast record of 9ft 3Mn, held by J. Sex-
smith. A. Kelter. O A C, vaulted 9 feet, and took second
prize. L. Titus, U C, was third, with 8 feet 9 inches.

220-yard run— 1st heat: Schifferstein, 0 A C, 1st. Tiuje,
23 1-5 sees. Mays, U C. 2d; S V Casady, O A C, 3d. The
second heat was not run, as the men agreed to consolidate
the two beats.

SUTTON WINS THE HALF.

Scott, of the 0 A C, the present record holder of the half-
mile run, was unable to tight for his el.ib when that race was
announced. He lost his mother in-law the day previous,
and was compelled to remain a silent spectator. His record
was not bBaten, however, and he breathes freely onoe more.
Sutton, of the UC, won the race in 2min 7 2 5 sees. Heu-
derBon, O A C, 21; E Cjke Hill, U 0, 3d. Moody, of the
Alpine Cluh, cat out the pice, but at the end of the second
lap was content with a back place.

A RECORD FOR THE ALPINE CLUB

S J McKinnon, of the AlpinB Club, threw the 16-lb ham-
mer 93ft 4iu., and broke hie own (coast) record of 94ft 5in.
Morrow, U C, was second, with a throw of 90ft 5in. A G
Roberta, UC, made a record of 87ft 8in and obtained third
place.

100-yard novice rnn for members of the 0 A C. There were
supposed to be two beats, but as some of the entries failed to
Bhow up, one heat decided the event. C A Jelliueak and J.
Korteck ran a dead heat, with P. M Wand 3d. Time, 11 1-5
seconds. In the run off Korteck won easily by G yards in
II 1-5 sees.

220-yard hurdle race— 1st heat. R C Moffit, U C, 1st; J M
Whelan, O A C, 2d. E. Mays, U C, 3i. Time, 30 4-5 secB.
This was an excellent race between the first and second man,
t*ie U C representative winning by only one foot.

A LIL1PUT RACE.

The most amusing race of the whole day was the juvenile
run of one lap. S>me of the contestants were not more
than two faet high, and did not aopear to weigh over twenty
pounds. After the pistol was fired, ooe could imagine that a
troop of frigh'-er.e 1 Li'iputs were running away from Gulliver.
The winners of first and second place were the smallest kids
of the lot, and considering their sizes and ages, ran remark-
tbly well. The soratch man, or rather child, made the lap in
4C seconds.

HILL BEATS COOLHY.

The one mile ran was an exciting contest. Hill, of the
University, and Cooley, of the O A C, had a hard battle, and

the former won in 4min 51 2-5 sees. Casady, of the A A A C,
earned a good third. The other men were nowhere.

MOFFIT HOLDS HIS OWN.

Young Moffit won the final heat of the 220-yard hurdle,
with Casady, O A C, a close Becond. Time, 29 1-5 seconds
Whelan, O A C, slipped shortly after the start, and so lost all
chance of winning first or sec >nd place. He was a good third.
^540-yard run, special for O A C members. J Korteck, 1st.
Time, 54 2-5 sees. He had an allowance of 12 yards. F G
O'Kane, 10 yds, 2d; P M Wand, 15 yds, 3d.

A LONG RUN.

Ten men essayed to run five miles but at tbe end of 1|
miles only half of that namber were left. Espinosa of the O.
A. C out out the pace in the race and up to the end of the
second mile was leading by about 30 yards with CooJey, CaB-
sidy and "Vollmsr running in the order named. At 3£ mileB
Cooley was leading Epinosa by two yards with Hill of the
U C 3d, and Cassidy A A A C 4th. Vollmer was over a lap
behiod. Hill gave np before finishing his third mile. At 4*
miles Cassidy led Cooley by a couple of yards. Espinosa
was one lap behind. On the laBt lap Cooley put on a great
spurt and seemed to run away from Cassidy whom he beat
boTai by 40 yards in 29 min. 3+1-5 sees. Cassidy ran a game
race and deserves credit for his grit and perseverance. Es-
pinosa was U laps behind at the finish. He got 3d plaoe.

Running h'gh jamp. This contest resulted in a dead heat
between Schtfferstin, O A C and Whitney, V C, each man
clearing 5ft. 5in, They agreed to toss for first place and the
Olympic man came out ahead. Moffit of the U C did not
jump up to his old form and could do only 5ft. 4in. thus
taking only 3 I place.

The tug of war proved highly exciting, the U C team win-
ning in three straight duIIb. They were again challenged
by the Captain of the O A C team and another struggle is
sure to take place.

The running broad jamp wound up the days BpDrt. Sohif-
fersteiu cannot be beaten at this geme and he won with a
jump of 22ft 3in. MoNear U C was second with 20ft. 7|in.
and Moffit 3d, with 19ft. 10£ in. Purcell was tired and did
not make any effort to win.

The championship flag was won by the Olympic Athletic
Clob with a score of 78 points. The University Athletic Club
made 55 points and the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club 11.
The Garden City Athletic Club failed to score a single point.

( Bonnets o" Blue,
by Sir Charles
Hurrah was imported by John Reber, of Lancaster,
Ohio, a locality where there were but few breeders of
•horonghbreds. Under these disadvantages he sired
a long list of winners. His 8fe Newmioster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam. Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. Newminister by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 18:14. Dam Beeswing,
winner of 54 races out of 04 starts, by Dr. Syn-
tax, winner of the Doncaster Cap. 1837—40-41—42,
the only horse that ever accomplished that feat.

On the side of the dam Three Cheers is equally well
related. Young Fashion was the dam of Surprise,
Scotland (the only horse that ever beat Asteroid a
heat), Liverpool. Columbia, and Bonnie Eate, the
dam of Little Buttercup, and the flying Bonnie Liz-
zie. His grandam, Fashion was the greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in that historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
the greatest events in the annals of the turf,

Horsemen who are qualified to judge, pronounce
Three Cheers to be the finest type of the Newmin-
ster line in America.

LOCATION.
THREE CHEERS will be located at the Arcade
Training Stable, Rancho del Paso. This place has
been selected tor the reason that first class pastur-
age has been secured there for the exclusive use of

are better than can be found elsewhere in the lo-
cality.

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted in public in his two year-old. form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandee in a r-iceon the Gay District Track, the second heat of which was made iu 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:3 i.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight strain of bis fore fet-
lock, there ia little quest. on thai: he would have shown in public very close to t-ie best record. On the
uakland track he was timed a mile in2:2il 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 31 seconds.

As a foor-year-oid Memoonly S'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, greU hopes were eotertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the F. C. T- H. B. A. meeting, hue after shoeing tteveral very fast iniies his leg filled and ne was laid up for
the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition is all that conlabe Jesired, and bis action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season.

TERMs. ?ln0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th,

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of Sin Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oah-
d- The stable s are about one mile east of the county road, which runs between Oakland and San Lean-
dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is nlaeed. Guide boards
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads ate very good, and they are fairly good
after the unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent from wan Francisco may be brought over byGircia's Express, No. 3 Market street San
Francisco. They also have an order box outside of Uawley Eros.' Hardware house on the corner of filarket
and Beale streets. The express leaves San Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at 1:3' but al I
orderB should be in the order box at Marketand Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 Market
street, by 11 o'clock at the latest. In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the .souther Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead behind a wagon. A small charge will be
made io such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are verv easily taken irom Oakland totbe farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to
bring them or send them, the iarm will send after anything that is to come. On horses that Btay three
months or oyer there is no charge for getting or aelivering. "Where a horse stayB a short time the actual
time and expense onlv is charged to him. .

Horses can be shipped hy rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify the
Farm several days before shipping anything, and then men will be on hand to receive sto-'k on arrival The
railroad Btation is but two miles from the Souther Farm, and the a^enC invariablv gives immediate n. tu-u
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the above farm, but when word is sent to the farm in good season
bv lrtter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hours in the car.

Passenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gaugd ferryj and First and Broadway, Oakland
at frequent intervals during the day. 'I here are several trains from San Jose to .San Leaudro "on both the
broad and narrow gauge railroads; the brnud gau»;e. by way of ^iles, is much more convenient f _»r get ing to
the iarm. There are trains each day from Sacramento, Stockton audLi\ermore to San Leandro. Inordi-
nary weather it is a short and pleasant drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San Francisco to
the Farm by way of the Creek route ferry boat. Always notify the Souther Farm just when you will arrive
at San Leandro, and some one will meet you at the station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance ask
the stage oriver, who will pcinr. it out.

Write to the above address for references, circulars and price lis:*. Terms

By Mai ubrt no Messenger, he by
i^ Mamhrlno Puvmaster.

Foaled 1876. Black. Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of highest form and quality; of great excellence in every point; a type of his celebrated fam-
ily; of marked individuality, Bpirit and endurance; never properly trained or rnced, but sbows the pos-
session of great speed; perfectly manageable in the stable and on tbe road and track.

As be is sired by The Moor 870. a son of CLAY PILOT, out of Vashti by MAMUKINO PATCHES, he is a
most valuable cross for mares of other families. THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bella and the dams of Sable
Wilkes and Margaret 2 :2« (dam of Regal Wilkes, 2-year-old record 2 iiOl).

MAMBRINO PATCHEN is regarded as the unsurpassed sire of broodmareB, having, among many
others, sired the dam of CJuy Wilkes and of Wm. L (the sire or Axtell), and a Bon of his sired tbe dam of
axtell. The public sales this year have demonstrated witb renewed emphasis tDe value of The Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with the Hambletonians It may be called
"the ready money crosB."

ORAND MOOR will make the season of 1890 for a time at tbe Oakland Rac» Track and afteiwards at my
Ranch, fifteen miles from Oakland. Mares can be delivered at tbe race track to the groom in chargo.
Pasture at g5 pBr month. For other food, if requested, an additional charge will be made.

JU&NTTO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 188G. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patcben
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square irotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is no gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. Tbe owner's only reason for selling him is
that businens calls biiu away from this section of
the StaiP. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This Is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class Irotter a( a very low figure.

The pedigree of Juanilo Jr. is bv Juanito (eire of
Almont Patchen), dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom
Moore. For further oartlculire. address

The property of A. T. Hatch, Esq., Pleasanton. Cal.

Pleasanton is fast becoming one of the horse-breeding con-
ters of California. For many years it has been noted for its
salubrious climate, the iffectof which has been to induce
owners of large establishments to locate there when land
coald be had on advantageous terms. The great tronble
with the Livermore Valley is that the vast acreage ia bette*
adapted for fruit lands ihan anything else, and as the yiti"
oulturists and orchardists have taken almost entire possession
of the valley, it is now a very hard matter to secure any land

without paying an enormous price therefor. Only lately Sen-
ator Hearst has been able to secure a large holding extending
over many acres which was formerly known as the Valentine
Ranch, and it is understood that he will in the near future
bring up all of his thoroughbred mares from the San Simeon
ranch to locate a new establishment near Pleasanton. In
addition to the noted Pleasanton Stock Farm and the Val-
entin Stock Farm there is also a preat deal of land devoted to
the stock belonging to A. T. Hatoh, Esq., the President of

the State Board of Trade. Mr. Hatch has been interested
more or less for many years in stock raising, in fact as be
says himself the first money be ever made in bis life he took
to purchase a horse with. Since I860 or thereabouts be
has owned many horses, and last year came into prominent
notice on occonnt of his celebrated young stallion, Guide
who made a record of 2:23$ as a four year old last year at
Santa Rosa. The handsome brown horse had already won
his spurs at Napa, winning there in three straight hoi

gfce fJfjeje&er awd Mvsnctemm.

June 14

later on id the season was troubled with the prevailing com-
plaint, epizootic, and c not do himself justice daring the
remainder of the circuit. "Wishing to give our readers a pic-
ture of this notable horse a visit was paid to the farm last
week and an inspection made of him.

Mr. Sutherland, well ana favorably known to the residents
Of Northern California and Oregon as an old driver and
trainer, has the horae in charge, and at the request of Mr.
Hatch, he was driven around the half-mile track, completing
the two circuits in 2:3U, one quarter of which was speeded
at a "twenty" gait. Guide is in the best of condition,
although he will require a little more work to fit him for an
arduous campaign, but as the stallion season is about over,
there will be ample opportunity for him to become condi-
tioned before he faces the judges' stand for the first time this
year. He has improved wonderfully on lis last year's form;
has filled out to a marked degree, and stands to-day, as can
be seen by the picture, as handsome a trotter as there is in
the State. His breeding is of the best, aod being by that
well known sire, Director, 2:17, cannot fail to reproduce
speed; his dam was Imogene by Norwood 522 (sire of Tommy
Norwood, 2:26}); 2d dam by American Star 14; 3d dam
daughter of Harry Clay 45. There is no necessity to speak
of Guide's sire, as Director and his ancestors are too well
known to require comment, but it may not be out of place
to say that Norwood was by Hambletonian 10, dam Lady
Fallis (dam of Kisbar, 2:27|, Pickering, 2:30, and Gretchen,
dam of Clingstone, 2:14). Lady Fallis was by American Star
14, which, with Clara, the dam of Dictator, gives Guide three
crosses of that noted blood. BeyoDd peradventure, his
chances to-day look exceedingly rosy for making a very fast
record this year, and as Mr. Hatch has entered him in quite
a number of events, we confidently predict that he will add
fresh lustre to the name of Director. Mr. Hatch has lately
been asked to set a price on this handsome young borBe, and
although many thousands were offered, absolutely refused to
part with him. He bas been liberally patronized by those
owning good mares, and already two of his yearlings show
wonderful trotting action, one especially, owned by Mr.
Hatch, being able to show quarters even now in forty sec-
onds. That he will make a famons sire in the days to come,
no one can doubt, and as his breeding is of the best, he
should add both fame and fortune to his lucky owner.

In addition to Guide Mr. Hatch owns a number of other
stallions, one of which, Lenmar, is at present in training at
Petaluma. He was a very fast horse in the early portion of
'89, but as he was likewise effected with epizootic, was un-
able to show what he could do. However, his owner thinks
that there is a possibility thi3 year of his coming to the wire
all right and has turned him over to the careful trainer, Tom
Murphy, who will undoubtedly bring him up in good shape
when the bell rings. Leumar is a b s by Admar, dam Lenore
by Gladiator 8336; 2nd dam Betty Morgan by Grafton, he
a son of Vermont Morgan; 3rd dam Betsey Morgan by Ver-
mont Morgan. As will be Been, Lenmar ha3 nothing to be
aBhamed of in his pedigree and good luck is all that is neces-
sary to briug him forward as one of the fast horses of the
year.

Admiro is a handsome bay horse, eight years old, and
stands 171 hands high, weighing almost 1400 lbs. He is very
speedy for a large horse and can show quarters in 40 sec-
onds without any trouble. Admiro is a Bon of Admiral 48S,
dam Zoo Zoo by San Bruno, he a sod of Easton's David
Hill.

El Key is a sorrel stallion by Admar, dam Polly Lincoln by
a son of Argyle.

Morales is a six-year-old bay horee by Le Grand, dam Mora
by Admiral.

My Guy is a bay horse, five years old, by Guy Wilkes
2;15J. dam Gracie by Arthurton 365; 2od dam Old Lady by
David Hill Jr.; 3rd dam by Williamson's Belmont (sire of
Venture 2;27J). We saw several of the colts by My Guy and
can vouch for their being as handsome as one can want to
Bee. His breeding is of the beBt and speed should surely
follow.

Omar is a sorrel horse, four years old, by Admar, dam
Imogene by Nutwood. Here again we find good breeding as
Admar was sired by Admiral, he by Goldsmith's Volun-
teer (sire of St. Julian 2:111). Admar's dam is Bruna by
Hathaway's San Btnno, he by Eastons David Hill; 2nd dam
Truckee Jane by Grafton.

A handsome little fellow, ODly a yearling in age, but one
to catch the eye at once from his very dignified and intelli-
gent appearanoe, is Correct, a handsome bay by Morales,
dam Imona by Steinway 1S0S. The above constitutes the
stallions at Santa Kits Ranch, and taken all in all, they are
a handsome and desirable lot.

Among the geldings, one that struck the writer as being
very much of a trotter was Montague, dam Imogene by Nor-
wood. Montague ib the exact counterpart of St. JoliaD, re-
sembles him very much in size, color and conformation. He
will be put to work at once to prepare him for circuit pur-
poses, and Mr. Sutherland has confidence that Montague
can make a name for himself.

Steindale is a chestnut, six years old, by Steinway, dam
the Tiffany mare, dam of Gibraltar 2:22$.

Select is a bay, three year3 old, by Derby, dam Cigale by
Admiral, 2nd clam Betty Morgan by Vermont Morgan; 3d
dam, Betsey Morgan by Vermont Morgan. Derby, the sire
of Select, is responsible for the parentage of quite a number
of animals at Santa Rita, so his pedigree is given here. Der-
by, by Newland's Hambletonian, dam Phaceola by Silver-
threads, he a son of The Moor; 2nd dam, Minnehaha, by

Ball Chief ; 3d dam Nettie Clay by Strader's Cassius M. Clay,
4th dam by Abdallah. This is royal good breeding, and
Select Bbould be able to trot very fast with his combined
blood lines, given as above.

Election is three years old, bay, by Admar, dam Electe by
Frank Malone's son of Electioneer.

Admon is another bay, three years old, by Derby, dam Ad-
mira by Admar.

Melnotte is a sorrel, two years eld, by Admar, dam Lenore
by Gladiator.

Tancred, bay, two years old, by Derby, dam Admira by
Admiral.

Miron, bay yearling by Derby, dam Lenmira by Lenmar.

Lenidon is a sorrel, two years old, by Lenmar, dam Ida by
IrviDgton,

Leonard, sorrel yearling by Admar, dam Lenore by Gladi-
ator.

After inspection of the many horses which are at present
being given gentle exercise by Mr. Sutherland, a visit was
paid to the large paddocks where the brood mares were eat.
iug the rich and succulent grasses. For many years Mr.
Hatch has had the major portion of his stook located at
Montague, Siskiyou County, and only lately a large number
of them were brought down to the Pleasanton Farm. The
severe winter had evidently played serious havoc with many
of the highly bred animals, but the nutritious pasturage
which they are now enjoying is apt before long to bring
them up to their normal condition. It must not be under-
stood that the matrons were a bad looking lot, for taken all
in all they are far above the average, it was only lack of
proper food during thewinter, that has caused them to appear
low in flesh. Many of them have suckling foals at their side
and the youngsters are all doing well. Among the large
number which were to be seen it was a hard matter to get
notes about them all but the breeding of some of them will
give our readers an idea of the class of trotters that Mr-
Hatch has at present.

Mr. Hatch is fairly "in the Bwim" with this large and well-
bred lot of trotters, and there can be no reasonable doubt
but what he will be successful in the undertaking of a mam-
moth breeding establishment. He will have quite a number
in training during the season, and that he may meet with his
full measure of success, is the earnest wish of his many

friends.

Meeting at Albuquerque,

The Spring meeting of the Gentlemen's Driving Associa-
tion of Albuquerque, New Mexico, was held at the fairgrounds
in that city on May 15th, 16th and 17th. The programme as
arranged was a very interesting one, And the attendanc6
amply repaid the promoters, from which fact it may be con-
fidently predicted that another meeting on a larger scale wilj
be given before very long. The races were interspersed with
several events for the runners, but our correspondent failed
to send ub a report of what the bang tails did On the first
day there was a trot for the four-year-olds and under, May
Queen, b f, three years old, by St. Cloud, proving an easy
victor in three straight heats, the best time being 3:25,
although the filly could undoubtedly have gone fully ten
seconds faster. On the same afternoon there was a purse of
$75 given for double teams, both horses to be owned by the
same party; 75 per cent, of purse goiDg to winner and 25 per
csnt. to the second. Dandy and Broncho, owned by R. H.
Greenleaf, won an eusy victory in straight heats, they not
being pushed at all. The winDers have a record of 3:16 to
the pole.

On May 16th. a purse of $50 was offered for green horses
those having no record of any kind, and was won by W. L.
Trimble's Babe in three straight heats, the best time being
3-16: Mr. Home's Kitty Cogan was distanced in the first heat
and Grey Eagle owned by J. Eiseman was distanced by the
judges in the third heat for running. On the same afternoon
a purse of $200 was hung up by the association for the 2:55
class with the condition that the horse had to be owoed in
Bernalillo County; there were three starters for this event,
the winner turning up in the b g Lancet, owoed by W. L.
Trimble who won the second, third and fourth heats.
Bronco owned by Mr. Greenleaf taking the first heat; the
best time of the winner was 2-.57L Daniel Boone owned by
D. Armstrong was distanced in the first heat; in this race
Mr. V. A GreeDleaf drove Broncho the fourth heat and was
fined $25 for loud shouting and improper use of the whip.

For Saturday, May 17th, the association offered a purse of
$300 for Free-For-All trotters, the horses coming to the posj
being Faro, b g by Mambrino Gift; Roan Dick, r p, and Miss
Ruby a roan mare: Faro, who was owned by Dr. Carter,
won easily in three straight heats, the best time being 2;39|-
in third heat, in which Roan Dick finished at Faro's wheel.
On the same afternoon the 3;15 class had an outing, the
entries being Daniel Boone owned by D. Armstrong and Bay
Fanny owned by O. R. Cassels Daniel Boone won the see.
ond and third heats, Dandy winning the first. The race was
given to Daniel Boone as in the third heat Dandy was ruled
out for foul driving of his owner; Bay Fanny was distanced
in the second heat. The best time made was 3-.09.

An extra day was given on May 18th, on which day there
was a race which was really the beBt of the entire meeting,
the entries being Lancet, Broncho and Ethan Allen Jr.
Bronoho isonly a $30 Mexican horee.bct in the three heats he
won, showed himself to be a fair trotter, his powers of endur-
ance being much more than that of his competitors, and in
ths heats which he won he never made a skip or left his feet
once. Lancet won the first two heats, Broncho the third
a id fourth, and Ethan Allen Jr., the fifth, while Broncho
outlasted the others and won the sixth heat, the best time ia
the race being 2:55. The following are the

THE FARM.

The Bronze Turkey.

It is claimed by most writers on domestic poultry that the
turkey is the only valuable fowl contributed by North Amer-
ica to the table of the world. Hia native habitat extends
from the Northwest Territory to the Isthmus of Panama.
South of that he id not found. This is the real and only
original bronze turkey. He attains great size, even to 40 and
50 pounds for the male and from 30 to 35 pounds for the
hen, Eat at this size he is no great treat for the epicure.
My preference is a fat, yonng hen weighing from 10 to 12
pounds.

Wnen young, the chicks are quite tender and need much
care. Another rather precarious time is when they are
feathering out. The courtship of the gobbler commences in
February, and when once the hea begins to lay, the whole
of that litter is fecandated. She cmld safely be removed
from the flock, and, under normal conditions, every egg
would hatch. A turkey hen will lay from seven to eleven
eggs at a litter, and will produce three broods if she is not
required to hatch but one.

An illustration: A neighbor of mioe by the name of
Evarts bought one pair of bronze turkeys. In due time the
hen laid nine eggs. These were set under a common hen.
Again, in about 10 days, the turkey hen laid another litter of
11 eggs; these again were placed under a common hen; a
third repetition resulted in seven eggs, and these the turkey
hen was allowed to hatch, and if my memory is not greatly
at fault, Mr. E. raised the whole twenty-seven turkeys to
maturity.

Young turkeys should be plaoed in a board pen; they can-
Dot get over a board 12 or 14 inches wide. If hatched by a
common hen she must be confined, because she is a rambler
aud the ordinary chick is quite spry when but a week old.
The young turkeys should bs fed at first on hard boiled eggs
chopped very tine. In a few days wheat or cornbread crumbs
ma>e be given. They will thrive on this feed. When a
greater quantity of food becomes necessary curds and tine
chopped onions may be added.

Tnere is no fowl more destructive to insects than the tur-
key. A fljck will spread out over a meadow or grain field
like an army with banners, and when they go for grasshop
pers they waste no time and never need make a second peck
to secure mister hopper.

The poultry dealers of almost every considerable city in
our land have their own approved methods in which poultry
shall be dressed und placed upon the market. One way ap-
proved by self and satisfactory to Chicago and Boston deal-
ers, is this:

When all ready cut off the turkey's head, pick off the
feathers dry, being careful not to lacerate the skin. When
thoroughly cleaned hang up by the neck and pour over the
body a dash of boiling water. The whole fowl will swell up
like doogh when placed in a hot oven. Draw all the entrails,
and these should ue nearly empty at the time of killing, but
do not draw out the crop. Use no water, but wipe the in-
side as clean as possible, and place the heart, liver and giz-
zard back and close up with a few stiches. In this condition
when once thoroughly cooled (not frozen) you can send them
from here to Boston or San Francisco and have them arrive
in the best condition, and they will find a ready sale and
briDg good prices. — Chas. W. Mobtteldt, in the Republic.

La Fleche.

La Fleche, the Black Spanish of France, is a veritable
nightmare among fowls. Its tall legs, its bold carriage, its
inky suit and its strange comb give it a very peculiar ap-
pearance. And yet, I fancy, despite the contradictions of
many that the comb after all is what gives this fowl its
strange look. Bpcause the comb is but a small part of the
fowl a great many people who would be wearied with the
carriage of one solid idea have protested that the change in
comb was not enough to separate two varieties otherwise sim-
ilar. It so happens that there used to be aud perhaps still
is a red-faced Black Spanish fowl; with a single comb, which
in everything but comb bore a very close resemblance to
La Fleche, and yet La Fleohe and Red Faced Spanish . were
very different looking fowls — there would be no danger of
confounding them. The two upright horns of Red or La
Fieche make a wonderful change in the whole appearance of
the fowl. If any one doubts that the change in comb makes
a great change in the appearance let him take a leghorn cock-
erel and with a pair of shears cut off the comb and wattles
and then place the fowl by the side of an undipped bird and
note the difference. The two birds look as if they belonged
to two different breeds.

La Fleche is a oomposite fowl, produced by the skillful
crossing of French poultrymen. That one of the breeds was
the Blaok Spanish there is every reason to believe; that the
Polish or Bome other crested breed was also used is appar-
ent from the peculiar comb, the cavernous nostrils and the
small crests that the early specimens used to show.

A good many years ago Mr. Philander Williams imported
some of this breed into the United States. The fowls, after
a time, passed out of his hands, were scattered through many
towns and states, and have practically disappeared. Ire-
member discovering at one time in the town of East Provi-
dence, R. I., a small flock of La Fleche, a remnant of the im-
portations of Mr. Williams. These birds had been inbred
generation after generation until they were little larger than
the Black Hamburghs which were kept by the same man.
The first reallv good La Fleche shown in America in recent
years were exhibited at Buffalo, in 1S38, by Mr. Owen Scot-
ten, of Detroit, Mich. TheBe birds bad been recently im-
ported, and their large size and meaty bodies explained why
the French people prize the fowls for the table. At the New
York show in 1890 a New Jersey gentlemen exhibited some
fine speoimens, which I suspect were either theScotten birds
or descendants from them. If not, they must have been a
recent importation.

La Fleche have never been popular in this country.
Whether this has been due to close inbreeing, caused by the
impossibility of obtaining fresh blood when required, or
whether it has been the result of the change of climate con-
ditions, or whether it has been owing to prejudice, I cannot
fiay. The fact is obvious, whatever its cause. La Fleche
are very good summer layers of large, white eggs, are fairly
hardy as fowls, somewhat tender as chickens, and when bred
fromjgooa stock are excellent for the table. Their black legs,
black pin feathers and white Bkin are objeetiorable when
sold in the markets, but do not affect the quality when served
upon the table. The French prize La Fleche much more
than the American do, but with better birds it is possible
that there will be a greater appreciation of this fowl.

H. S. Babcock, in Stockman and Farmer.

Hints From the Greatest Poultry Country-

The Chinese prize the dropping* of fowls as the best of
manure, carefully collecting those of the geese, docks, chick-
ens and pigeons. Goose-dung brings very high prices. In
the use of Buoh material, they often dilute with water, and
they manure the plants rather than the earth squirting the
liquid article out of watering pots at the roots of the plants.

They have many ingenious methods to save their fowls
from being caught by the hawk. The pigeons in North China
have ti-d to their tails whistles which make a whirring noise
as they fly through the air and which frighten hawks away.
I was a long time at a loss to know what this sound was. I
heard it many times a day in every city of North China. The
goose-herder protects Irs charge in much the same way. He
has a sort of bamboo whistle or tnbe fastened to the end of a
rope whip which he swings from time to time around his
head to scare away the hawks. Inasmuch as some of the
goose-herds number as many as a thousand birds, and as the
hawks are numerous and bold, it will be seen that this is not
an unnecessary precaution.

Ths Chinese are very fond of eggs, but they never eat them
soft-boiled, and they believe that an egg grows better with
age. Preserved eggs are one of the daintiest of China and it
takes forty days to pickle them for use. The eggs are cov-
ered with a mixture of tea leaves, lime, salt, and wood ashes,
made into a paste, and are tbeu packed away in wood ashes,
which, all over China, -are sold to the eeg-packers for this
purpo-e. The older an egg grows after "packing the better it
is snppoBed to be. There are methods of pickling which turn
the eggs as black as jet. In some cases they are steeped in
water in which the leaves of fir or cedar trees have been
boiled. The Chinese also pickle eggs in salt water, and they
regard these salted eggs as good for medicinal purposes.
They have certain festivals at which they give presents of
hard boiled, dyed eggs, and when a child is born the family
and friends celebrate the event by a feast of dyed eggs. All
told, the egg industry of China gives employment to many
thousand people, and forms one of the important specialties
of this very busy nation. — Frank G. Carpenter.

Store Cattle from America.

Sir Jacob Wilson's speech is a purely selfish one in regard
to the importance of store states cattle. His argument is,
clear this country of pleuro -pneumonia at whatever cost, in
order that we may sell our puro-bred stook to our American
buyer; but on no account admit the produce of such stock
to this country again, on account of the so-called risk of
disease. Sir Jacob Wilson admits that there is at present no
pleuro-pneumonia in the western state*, but he says it is
impossible to get the.-e clean cattle into this country without
running the risk of importing disease. Then he holds up
the bugbear of Texan fever, which is a climatic disease, and
would not live in this country. Moreover this disease is
confined within well-defined limits of country, which could
easily be scheduled. Besides, we have the ten days' voyage
acting as a quarantine; and if any cargo Bhould at any time
show symptoms of disease, snch cattle could be slaughtered
at point of landing. Sir Jacob Wilson says the scarcity of
store cattle is only temporary; but where will the price of
fat cattle go to if we breed twice the quantity we do at pres-
ent and also receive all the fat cattle America can send? The
success which has attended the feeding of Canadians this
season is a strong proof of the great impetus which would
be given to agriculture were we to get an unlimited supply
of the raw material cheap. The interest of the feeder is al-
so the interest of the consumer, and these interests cannot
be wholly set aside to please aud help the breeder of pure-
bred stock. Sir Jacob Wilson speaks hopefully of stamping
out pleuro-pneumonia in this country, but many think this
will never be accomplished. In a country such as ours, and
necessarily importing largely, there must always be a cer-
tain amount of risk of disease; and the question comes to
this: Give us the largest supply of store stock possible with
the minimum amount of risk. This question of store states
cattle is rapidly taking hold of the Scotish agricultural mind,
and will bean accomplished fact ere long. Does it not look
strange to admit store stock from Ireland where there is al-
ways more or less disease, and forbid their importation from
the western states of America, where friends and foes alike
admit there is no pleuro-pneumonia?— A. Hutcheson, in
North British Agriculturist.

Whit Red Polled Cattle Are-

Hon. S. A. Converse gives the folowing description of Red
Polled cattle:

Many make a mistake in calling them the "Red Angus cat-
tle." The word Angus is not properly used in speaking of
this breed. They are no more related to the Polled Angus
than they are to the Shorthorn or Holstein. The origin is
traced in another direction entirely. From the remotest time
there has been in Suffolk county, England, the red-mnley
breed called the Suffolk Dun," and, from the earliest time
until the present, always known as a superior dairy breed.
Twenty-five years ago this breed was nearly lost by the
sweeping ravages of a disease known as the rinderpest.
Their scarcity since then accounts for their having been little
heard of. •--*-*

Color is alwavs a solid, beautiful dark red, which is trans-
mitted to all their offspring, and even when crossed with
breeds of a different color 90 percent of the grades will be

They are absolutely hornless, and when crossed with horned
breeds they impart this quality so strongly that out of 250
half-bloods that I nave bred not one has horns, only a few
have even had loose knobs.

In size they are very good. Most of the bulls at matur-
ity weigh from 1.800 to 2,200 pounds, and cows smaller in
proportion.

They mature very early, keep easy, and are smooth, hne
bone and mus le.

They are very gentle and easy to handle; and rarely tnat
ever one of the bulls ever gets cross.

Their milking qualities are first class. They usually give
a good large mess of very rich milk; and a very valuable
characteristic of the breed is that most of them will milk a
whole year, and from one calving to another, thus making a
loDg season in milk.

They leave their impression strongly on any breed they
are crossed with, and their grade and full blood steers are as
fine, pony-built fellows as ever went to market, and are quick
sellers

They will huddle in a shed like sheep and ship with the
leaBt possible injury.

Dairying, East and West.

Eastern farmers are not a little disgusted to learn that in
the towns nearest them, Iowa creamery butter is retailing at
thirty-one and thirty-two cent? per pound, while the best
Home-Made is retailing at twenty eight cents. The first is
made from hay worth from three to five dollars per ton, and
corn from eighteen to twenty three cents per bushel, and the
second from hay worth in the market nine dollars per ton>
and corn worth forty cents per buBhel. There is nothing
very consoling in this to the Eastern farmer,

tailer's profit, and the Western fanner pajs that probt and

and that of manufacture, yet his cheap land, together wim
the ease of cultivating, far more than CDmpensates for this.
He has, too, in his large herds, a far better chance of grad-
ing up his cows aud developing a uniform herd of heavy
milkers

Dairying, whether East or West, to be profitable must be
engaged in as a business, and one of the essential features
of that business must be a dairy cow that will be a heavy
milker. This cannot be obtained by haphazard breeding, or
by using one breed and then another, mingliog bloods till
the h^rd is all colors and forms. It is difficult to do this on
a farm where half a dozen cows are kept and in a neighbor-
hood where four-fifths of the farmers are grain raisers by
birth and education. The difficu ty is increased where one
farmer has moderately level land and can grow good sized
cattle, and his neighbor has a hilly farm where the land
Blides from the hillsides after heavy rains, and he dare not
stock it with large oattle.

The Western dairyman therefore, has the advantage, and
can always hold the Eastern butter market if he will. To
do it, however, he mast increase the butter capacity of his
cows, must give greater attention to all the details of the
business, and must furnish the raw material for a first-class
article of botter. The demand for good butter is constantly
increasing, and will continue to do so, and thtre is little
danger of the market becoming overstocked. The best will
always sell at good prices. — Iowa Homestead.

Argentine Mutton.
London, Msy 10 — The importations of live sheep into the
United Kingdom which reached a total of 178,354 head in
the first quarter ot 1883 and 209,029 in the same part of 18S9,
fell off to 27,345 head in the first three months of the
present year. This wonderful change is due to
scheduling of German sheep, which have for a long time
formed the bulk of British importations of this stock.
This apparently opens up a field for supplies from some
other quarter, and advantage of this fact is already being
taken by exporters from the Argentine Republic, Over 300
live sheep from Buenos Ayres lately arrived at Liverpool,
aud proved so attractive to buyeis that their flesh brought
twice the price of the frozen mutton from the Bame country. In
the course of the last year or two there have been unmistaka-
ble indications that the supply of sheep in this country is not
equal to the demand, and that the imports of dead mutton
could not make up the want of live sheep. And the Argen-
tine Confederation can give England practically unlimited
supplies of sheep if they could be brought here alive. It
takes rank next to New Zaland in the weight of frozen mut-
ton which it sends to us. In 18S7 England imported from
the Argentine Confederation 251.273 cwt. of fresh mutton,
and in 1883, the last year for which complete returns are re-
corded, received 345,395 cwt. of mutton. Now that a few of
the many millions of live sheep there have found their way
here and have sold well, there are more to follow. British
importations of mutton in the first quarter of this year were
401,174 cwt. against 296,2S9 cwt. in 1SS9 and 227,090 in
1888. _

Which is Best?

No one will claim much profit in 2 or 3-year-old stall-fed
Bteers at 2i cents a pound, says a correspondent of Farm,
Stock and Home; but when they sell for 3 cents and weigh
800 at one year old, it is not so bad; and it is not misleading
to say that there are yearhngs in this county that weigh 800
and will sell quick at 3 to 3} cents a pound. One of my
neighbors is feeding a calf that he expects to make weigh
1,000 pounds when he is one year old in July next. Quality
and early maturity are the points to attain. To illustrate:
I saw a few weeks ago a 2-year-old heifer sell for S 10; later
I saw a heifer of the same age sell for $15; afterward, I
heard a man offer $40 for a good grade heifer of same age.
Now, on which was there a profit, and what made the differ-
ence? Nothing but good quality and early maturity. An-
other: A neighbor sold some high grade — last fall calves ,a
few days ago for $20 each. In the same town are yearlings
that will not bring $6 each; why the difference? The first
were good stock, and bad good care; the latter, scrub stock
and had scrub care. 1 5 it misleading to recommend the
former as the most profitable in times of depression, like the
present?

A Long Milking Cow.

One exhibit most likely to arrest the attention of the pub-
lic in general and farthers in particular at the South Frank-
lin Agricultural Show, held at Bukekobe on March 17, was
a well-bred Shorthorn cow, exhibited by Mr. J. Allen, Hill-
side, Pukekohe (but not for competition), says the Auckland
(New Zealand) Weekly. The cow was bred by Mr. Edward
Allen, of Mount Albert, calved second and last time Septem-
ber 21, 18S2. She then gave five gallons of milk daily, has
been milked twice daily ever since, and is now giving a fair
quantity. We have never heard of a dairy cow milking so
continnonsiy (a period of nearly eight years) without having
a calf in the interval, and question very much if it coul 1 be
beaten even on the large continent of America, where all the
unlikely things happen, and the big things grow. We may
add that the cow has not been spayed.

Articles of incorporation of the Chicago and Montana Sheep
Company have been filed says the Livingston Post with the
county clerk. The incorporators are Chas. C. Rice, of My-
ersbnrg, Erve G. Blair, of White Sulphur Springs, and Hen-
ry E Roha, of Chicago, 111. The capital stock is $25,000
divided into 250 shares of $100 eaoh. Operations will be
carried on Myersbnrg. Mont., where the offices will be lo-
cated. The object of the company is the buying, selling,
feeding and dealing in mutton sheep.

Andy Smith of the Stocktons is almost a perfect counter-
part of Jaok Davis who was recently defeated at the Occi-
dental Club by JoeCoyinski.

It is positively a treat to watch the Saoramento infield
play together. Their work doubly discounts that of any of
the other infields on the coast.

A Seattle contfimporary says that '*Hen Harris as a trump-

The noisy man from Oakland got just a little too fresh on

la the Santa Rosa Will and Finok game Snnday. Jim
Cusick demonstrated the fact that he can play ball just as
good as many players in the big teams who the managers
think are his superiors.

First base is being played "out of sight" this year and
Charlev Sweeney heads the list. If he continues his good
work their will be a big demand for his services East next
year, for Sweeney ia "quite a hitter, you know."

"Dioky" Johnson was released from the Bostons to play
with the New York Brotherhood team. Johnson is one of
the prize outfielders of the country and is also considered an
excellent batsman. He replaces Slattery in the New Yorks.

Cahill has been "lining them out" at great speed this sea-
son. Last year Patsy was tie with Gagus and ranked thirty
eighth in hitting, with a percentage of 224 and this yenr he
heads the list so far with a percentage of 317 to his credit.
Quite a difference.

The magnates made a big mistake in not having John
Thompson in one of the big teams. Look at his record in
the Vallejo — Report game Sunday. Two hits (one a three
bagger off Baltz) five put-outs, three assists and one error.
He also figured in two lightning double plays.

The baseball reporters in the Pacific North West Lfague
are not very lenient. In the account of the Portland— Se-
attle game last Saturday two hits were secured off Borchers
in the first inning and the Tacoma Ledger comes out with
a big head line "Borchers knocked out of the box.''

The Texas League is in hard luck this year, being robbed
of two of its best players by'the "grim reaper" Death. The
latest player in that League to join the "silent majority" was
William Shockamp, better known as Billy Mussey. Shock-
amp was a very clever and popular player and left a wife and
three young children.

This is the way an Eastern writer speaks of Pete Sweeney
in the Sporting Life:

"My, oh! my! Pete Sweeney, he from theland of oranges,
grapes, gold mines and Chinese, is putting up as good ball
as any man in the profession. Pete will no doubt be kept
on bag No. 2."

Pickett played with the Philadelphia Players' Club yester-
day, as the Kansas City Club have relinquish all claim on
him in consideration of the payment of legal services incurred
in the suit which restrained him from playing with any club
other than the Kansas Oitys and the return of the money
advanced to him on account of his salary.— Exchange.

Tbere have been no less than Beven professional players
by the name of Smith seen on the California diamond within
the last four seasons. They are "Phenomenal" Smith now
with Philadelphia, Jimmy Smith who played third for the
Californias, Hughey, Jack and Nick Smith, formerly of the
Pioneers, Pop Smith of the BostonB and Andy Smith now
with Stockton.

The idea of a young man playing ball for money is not
nearly as abhorrent now as it was some yearB ego, when a
ball tosser and a loafer were synonymous terms to many
minds. There is nothing at all derogatory now-a-days in a
young man playing base ball for the return it brings him. In
fact, it must be considered in the highest degree commenda-
ble if a young man has the requisite skill to play ball bo
that it will command a financial return, and he ia thus en-
abled to defray, in whole or in part, his expenses. — Life.

Shelly as yet has not fully strengthened the Stocktons in
their weakest point — the catching department. Vogt is fas-
tidious, and cares only to catch Kilroy, claiming he can't
afford to have his hands banged up by working with every
j)itcher; and Smith is entirely too slow to do effective work
at his end when receiving Hapeman. What the Stockton
team needs is a catcher who is capable of handling any of
them, and snch a one is Matt Stanley. Stanley is anxious
to be identified with some of the professional teams, and if
given a chance, will more than hold his end up. His work
with the amateurs this season has been of the very highest
order both in catching and throwing. Lately he has im-
proved wonderfully in hitting, and we have no hesitanoy in
proclaiming him a valuable player.

Digby Bell once officiated as an umpire. It was in a game'
between Philadelphia nines called the Leans and the Fats.
The left-fielder of the Fats was an enormous party who
had contracted the habit of staying out late every night and1
riding home in a cab, after all of the street cars had stopped'
running. This man did not get to first base until the ninth
inning, and then he reached there on a muffed third strike.
Through a series of awful muffs on the part of the infield of
the Leans, he finally reaohed third. The next batter made a .
three-bagger and the big man started to toddle home. He
was stopped by willing hands, however, a cab was brought
into the hold, he was fired into it and drawn home. "We-
couldn't allow you to break your record, my boy," said the
captain of the Fats. "You have always been driven home
in a cab." — Review.

Manager Robinson gives evidence of possessing as many
erroneous ideas about running a ball team as he has suits of
clothes, and they are numberless. His latest is to take Mc-
Donald off second and play him in the field. What a piece-
of stupidity, and where is he going to get Jims equal, out-
side of the Major Leagues. According to a recent compu-
tation McDonald leads the Oaklands in hitting and has had.,
and accepted more chances than any other second base play-
er in the League, ranking close on to the "Btar" of the posi-
tion— Reitz. If the Colonel wants to strengthen his infield;,
why don't he displace the noisy man at short, "who brays>
loudeBt and does least." He can certainly find any number
of amateurs whojcan discount this "high-roller" player in thei
position and its "dollars to doughnuts" that Mr. O'Neill
wont have any better percentage this year than he had last,
when as a shortstop Wilson, Whitehead, Stickney, Ebright
and Newbert ranked ahead of him.

Oneof the promising ball twirlers of the profession is Knell,
of the Philadelphia Brotherhood Club. He has the elements-
of a good ball player, but he is possessed of two weaknessess,
which he must overcome before be can be clasped as a win-
ning pitcher. One is his attempt to fool batsmen on ball's
that do not go over the plate, and the other is his impatience.
Veteran batsmen like those who compose the Players*
League are trained in hitting, and the ball must come over
the plate before they will hit at it. Knell's wildness is main-
ly due to the fact that he works like a machine, firing one
ball after another aB rapidly as the catcher returns it to him;
and, in consequence, he never stops long enough to steady
himself and pick out a mark to throw at. Then, also, a bats-
man becomes nervous andimpatient when the pitcher stands
in the box and faces him for a few moments after delivering
the ball, and he is lees apt to hit it uuder those circumstan-
ces than when one ball after another is sent in rapid suc-
cession. Knell is young and this is one of the tricks he
has not yet learned in his business. — Sporting News.

THURSDAY'S GAME.

OAKLAND vs. SACRAMENTO.

June 12th, at Haigbt St.

The white stockinged Senators and the black jeraeyed
Colonels came together before a very fair sized audience on
Thursday. The sympathy of the crowd was evidently with
Stapleton's men, and loudly applauded their every brilliant
play. It was a game, if minus the first inning Sacramento
would have won. Pokey Chase, who is brought to the front
every time either Stockton or Sacramento is in a hole for a
twirler, pitched for Sacramento. His first inning was a most
disastrous one, the Oaklands making four runs throoga his
wildness and Bowmans error.

The Senators played a hard up hill game, but their hits
were not closely bunched. Their fielding was almost per-
fection, .Stapleton, Reitz, Daly and Godar playing the in-
field in a most finished style, and Roberts and Goodenough
did some marvellous fielding. Bowman worked like a
Trijan, and with the exception of his error in the first in-
ning, his playing was in accord with the remainder of the
team. Chase, after the first inning worked like a beaver,
and was very effective, allowing but seven hits to be made
by the Colonels is a very creditable performance for this .
youngster.

The Oaklands, having been presented with four runs, did'
not have a hard time winning. Their fielding game was of
a yellowish lint in places, the errors being mostly made oni
easy chances. Stickney and McDonald's work were features,,
and their outfield played a strong game.

Strpleton did great work at the bat, hitting" the ball out
hard every time and getting three pretty safe Bhots. Chase,
O'Neill and Hill also hit well'. The score:

OAKLAND vs. STOCKTON.
Friday, June 6th, At Oakland.

About fifteen hundred people, many of whom were deco.
rated with a badge of pearl gray and black ribbons, which
are the colors of the Oakland team, viewed this game at Em-
eryville. It was a very pretty exhibition, fall of life and
some hard hitting, as the score will attest. The errors made
by the Oaklands were of a costly nature however, and were
it not for the great General O'Neill's overthrow of Fogarty's
sharp grounder in the first inning, and Colonel Hill's mis-
judgment of Wilson's high fly, the ac^re would certainly have
been much different.

Parrott pitched a wonderful game, allowing only three safe
hits, and was very steady throughout. Big Andy Smith
caught and threw to bases very cleverly. The Stocktons'
fielding was much superior to that of their opponents.

Lookabaugh pitched great ball in this game keeping tha
nine hits made off him bo widely scattered that tbey were

Roberts scored. The Friscos batted Harper freely from tbe
Btart and won easily. Sweeney, Hanley and Ebright played
brilliantly and bit very hard and Stevens caught nicely. The
Sacramentos fielded neatly and run bases well, but when runs
were needed Lookabaugh was an enigma. Following is tbe

OAKLAND vs. STOCKTONS.
Saturday, June 7th, at Haioht Street.

The game was exceedingly dull, tbe Stocktons playing very
poorly, Careey and Hapeman were the opposing pilubers,
and both were hit hard. Hapeman did not have the best
support in Smith's backstop work, the big fellow being Blow
in recovering, and often falling short in throwing. Fogarty
was in miserable form, making three bad errors. McDonald's
finger was severely injured in tbe fourth inning, but, not-
withstanding, Jim played a good game, accepting some very
difficult chances.

Shickney, Isaacson, Cahill, Wilson and Selna played well,

SACRAMENTO vs. SAN FRANCISCO.

Saturday. June 7ih, at Sacramento.

The fifth inning saw the Senators tie the score and then in
the Bixth with two out they jumped on Young viciously and
the result was that in four innings they added seventeen
runs to their string. Every ball Young pitched was just
"pie" for the heapy hitting Sacramentans, and home runs
triples and safe ties were the kind of hitting they were deal-
ing in. The 'Frisco's got badly rattled as they witnessed
the wholesale slaughtering and piled up the neat sum of
twelve errors of wbich Captain Ebright took three and the
balance were distributed through the remainder of the nine.
The Sacramentos had Farrell, Reitz and Harper in the box at
different times and but seven hits were secured off them.

OAKLAND vs. SACRAMENTO.
Sunday, June 8th, at Haight st.

Harper was wild as a "Texas Steer" and this with a great
many errors and an inability to hit safely whtn hits were
needed, was the cause of Sacramentos crushing defeat last
Sunday, The game was interesting till the Bixth inning,
when the Oaklands piled up five runs on three bases on balls,
Lohmaos single and ONeills triple. This robbed the contest
of all pleasure as the Sacramentos could do but little better
tbau goiDg ont in one, two, three order. The rleldirjg on
both sides was o£ a very ordinary character, errors being nu-
merous throughout the fcame. O'Neill had his usual two and
Hill, Daley, Stapleton, Godar and Roberts were each credited
with the same number.

Bowmans work was exceptionally olever,having to contend
against Borne very ragged pitching by Harper. Donohue's
decisions on balls and strikes were erratio and were deoidely
unfavorable to the Sacramento team.

SAN FRANCISCO vs. STOCKTON.
Sunday, June Sth, at Stockton.

It was a great game twelve hundred excited Stocktonians
witnessed last Sunday. Rcns, base hits and errors were
scarce and consequently the exhibition was a pretty one.
Neither side Bcored til) the fourth inning when Sweeney got
his baEo on balls and Ebrights three baser brought him
home. The Stocktons tied the scire in the first of the ninth
when Selna tallied on his hit and Steal and Vogts single.

Ebright then won the game on his second magnificent three
bagger, andFudgers error. All through the field playing was
brilliant.

Both Lookabough and Kilroy did especially well, being
very Bteady and effective. Ebrights work at short was truly
wonderful and his hitting was simply terrific.

PORTLAND vs. SEATTLE.

Saturday, June 7th, at Seattle.
The Seattles took a big lead of four runs in the first ion-
ing on two safe hits, a base on balls and some costly mis-
plays by the Portlands. In the fourth inning they added
three more to their score, while the Web foot boys were
goose-egged till the sixth. In that inning, however, they
came to time, nimbly knocking out five runs and scored an-
other in the seventh. This was the last of the run getting
on either Bide, and the game ended in favor of the Seattles.
Borchers started in to pitch, but retired after the first inning
in favor of Munday. The score.

PORTLAND vs. SEATTLE.

Sunday, June Sth, at Seattle.

Parrott was batted all over the lot, and this was the prin
cipal reason of Portland's overwhelming defeat. On the
other hand, Seattle's star twirler, Fitzgerald, was very effec-
tive, keeping the bits well scattered, and giving but one base
on halls. The Seattles scored bjx runs in the fiist inning,
making seven hits off Parrott. In tbe second they hit him
for four more safe shots, adding two runs lo their scores.
Then they let up till the ninth, when they slaughtered the
elongated pitcher again, getting four more "safeties," includ-
ing a home run by Camp. Notwithstanding the one-eided-
ness of tbe score, the fielding was generally good, and at
times brilliant. Levy caught an excellent game, barring two
passed balls, and "oldman" Perrier did good work at the
initial. Billy Cooney made his re-appearance with the team
but had no chances. The score:

BURLINGTONS vs. E. T. ALLENS
Sunday, June Sth, at Haxght Street.

The "Railroaders" and "Sports" came together last Sun-
day morning, and although errors were numerous, there was
plenty of excitement in the game. Both teams presented a
rejaverenated appearance, and a good word must be spoken
for the new "finds" — Johnson, Walcott, Mulvey and Kelly.
They are all ball players and will certainly do well.

The Burlingtons took a good lead at the start, and kept
adding to their score in nearly every inning.

The Aliens, although they hit the ball just as hard, were
less fortunate in their run getting. In the ninth inning,
however, they made matters very uncomfortable for the Bar-
lingtons. With one man out, Geishaker was safe on
Dunn's error of bis hard grounder; he promptly stole
second and Boored on Johnson's pretty drive to left.
Reilly then hit safely, and both he and J ihnson scored on
Evatt's beautiful double to right. Bnckley took first on
another error by Dunn and Stanley's sacrifice soored Evatt.
Five runs and only one more needed to tie the score, but they
didn't do it. McCarthy was nervous and retired to side on
Danns assist to Fleming. Both pitchers did well, "Walcott be-
ing as steady as an old timer. Johnson showed some splen-
did curves, bat was nervous in the fore part of the game and
gave eight bases on balls. Stanley and Mulvey were in fine
form, and handled their pitchers perfectly. Bradley, Evatt,
Buckley and Stanley led in hitting. The score:

SANTA ROSA vs. WILL & FINCKS.
Saturday, June 8th, at Santa Rosa.
The ''Young Giants" tackled the "leaders" last Sunday and
came oft" second best. It was a game of the most vital im-
portance to the "Giants" because if they won they would be
very close on to the Santa Rosas for first place and by losing
they relinquished their hold on second, allowing the ReportB
to supercede them in that position. Both teams fielded
beautifully but the Santa RoBas were stronger at the bat and
in running bases. Callen was in fine condition and pitched
a great game. The Santa Rosas played superbly but one er-
ror being made on their side. Howell also Ditched well, but
the Sonoma boys developed a hitting streak in the fourth
and Bixth innings and scored five runs. The Finks had been
goose-egged until the ninth, when they also did a little timely
hitting, Casick, Strand and Tillson each hit safely and Bil-
linga home run drive cleared the bases, making four earned
rans. The esoitement at tbis point was intense but the
Fincks couldn'nt score again and so lost one of the hardest
games they ever played. The score,

VALLEJOS vs. REPORTS.

Sunday, June 8th, at Vallejo.
The Reports won this game in the eleventh ioDing. They
had a slight lead all through till the ninth when the Marines
tied the score. Neither Bide tallied intne tenth and the ex-
citement was great. In the eleventh the Reports hit out
three runs and won the game. The batting of the city boys
was very heavy, Thompson and Maguire leading. There was
also some clever fielding, Farrell, Monet, Hughes, McGuire,
Mclntyre, Thompson and Sharp excelling in this depart-
ment. Baltz pitched his usual steady game striking out
eleven of the Reports and Farrell rendered him excellent sup-
port. The score:

Stocky Billy Kelly, of the Aliens, has the actions of a good
ball player.

Twitchell, an old timer, played right field for the Fincks
last Sunday.

First base is Hen Stultz's position and he should be kept
on that bag.

Dick Nagle has left Marysville, and is now playing first
base for Merced.

Extra inDing games are quite frequent with the California
Amateur League.

The Antiochs defeated the Wilsons of Vallejo last Sunday
by a score of nine to eight'

Donovan of the old Greenhoods would be a fine player for
some of the amateur teams.

Cusick will play right field for the "Giants" Sunday. Frank
Delmas will occupy his old position at first.

Sharp is chasing Gimmel pretty close for fielding honors.
The managers of the big league want to keep their eye on
this player.

The Rosedales beat the Young Stars last Sunday and Man-
ager Murphy would like to hear from the Shamrocks. — Ad-
dress 411 Olemintina St.

In Johnson, the Aliens have another good pitcher. It is
trne he is not as speedy as McDonald, but bis curves are just
as deceiving, and he possesses a cool head when men are on

The Vallejos are just now without a manager, Campbell
having resigned. It is said that Broderiok and Hughes are
without engagements, the team being unable to keep paying
them salaries.

In the Amateur League there are several players who have
been often seen wearing professional uniforms. They are
Buckley, Baltz, Cusick, Williams, Thompson, Monet, Stan-
ley, Lewis and Evatt.

The Fultons will hereafter be known as the M. J. Flav*
ins. The team is open to challenges from any club in the
State and communications may be address to F. A. Griffing
Manager, 928 Market St.

Young Mulvey, the Burlington's new catcher, is a "clinker."
He has a neat style in catching, and throws strongly to bases.
With a little more experience with his pitcher, he will be
reckoned one of the best back-stops in the leagae.

Genial Jim Cusick played a great game at first last Sun-
day for the "Young Giants". He filled Delmas' position to
perfection accepting twelve difficult chances. His hitting
was also a feature. In the first inning Jim led off with a hit
— the only one secured by the team till the ninth, when he
came fiist to bat again and started the ball rolling with
another Bafe shot.

The standing of the teams of the Pacific Amateur League
as computed by scorer Knowles, is:

Won Lost Play'd Per ot

E. &O.E 3 2 5 .600

Reliance 3 2 6 .600

U. 0 2 3 5 .400

A.N.A.C 1 2 3 .333

Frank S. Sheridan is now the acting manager of the Bur-
lington team, Gage being unable to attend to the duties on
account of other business.

The local amateurs complain that the scorers m the inter-
ior towns are continually giving the visiting teams the
"worst of it." A prominent amateur said the other day
"We can't expeot a square deal" from the Bcorers up conn-
try, having never received any thing like a fair show yet.
They seem only too willing to give us an error on the slight-
est pretext and never considerer the adverse circumstances
under which some plays are attempted. Then we are oftea
robbed of base hits, sacrifices, base" steals and accepted chan-
ces, while the home teams always get full credit for every
thing they do and a great deal they don't do."

If Loughran could be induced to play again in the Ama-
teur League what an excellent addition he would be to Wan-
rens "Young GiantB*" They need a change pitcher to re-
lieve Howell and Frank could 611 the bill to the Queen'B taste.
His fielding is of the Roberts style and it is doubtful if any
amateur on the coast can touoh him. His batting lately is
said to be of a very high order also.

No game was played by the Paei6o Amateur League last
Saturday, the E & O E's being without a full nine. Umrire
Van Court declared the game forfeited to the Reliance team
score 9 to 0.

Next Saturday the schedule will be completed, the com-
peting teams to be the Reliance and Anglo-Nevadas. Mur-
phy will pitch for the Reliance team and either Downey or
Rosborough will catch, Clements arm being in poor condi-
tion.

The statement published in last Saturday's issue of the
Beeeder and Sportsman that Dave Creamer, the well known
second baseman, had been released from the E. T. Aliens,
did not create much of a surprise. For some time it has
been whispered and rumored in private circles, especially
among the members of the Raquet Club, that since Dave quit
playing with the Stockton team, he has fallen desperately in
love with a charming young lady residing near the classic
precincts of Seventh and Bryant streets, and, as a result, has
neglected ball playing for more congenial amusement. He
has also secured a good position with a wholesale cigar firm,
and is saving his money with an eye to the future. When
questioned aB to w bether he personally intends to solve that
all absorbing question, "Is marriage a failure?" Dave becomes
very conservative, and prefers to talk on the success of Tom
Powers in Baltimore, but before you leave him he generally
finds opportunity to innocently inquire, ''How much do you
think it would cost to furnish a house of about five rooms?"

The AllenB are now in great Bhape to do some tall ball
playing, and they must be counted as "very much in the
race", even though they are at the "bottom of the heap"
just at present. Manager Keller has been indefatigable in
bis efforts to have a winning nine, and it must be admitted
that his team has played in very "hard lack." Bat with
his new timber we expect to see a big change in the team's
playing , and would not be at all surprised to find the
"Sports" holding at least second or third place when the
season closes. The pitching department is very strong now
and by giving both McDonald and Johnson plenty of prac-
tice, their only defect — wildness, will be overcome, Stan-
ley is the "star" back stop of the league, and hts throwing
to bases is a feature of every game he plays in. The infield
is somewhat different from the way we stated it last week,
and the present arrangement is undoubtedly the best that
could be conceived. Lewis is physically fitted to be a fine
first baseman, having a long reach and being a sure catcher
of hard thrown ballB. Tom Buckleys abilities are too well
known to need any extended mention in these columns, and
Evatt is better placed at third than on first, being lively in
pickups and a strong accurate thrower. Josh Reilly is in
his element at short, or more properly speaking, all over the
field, for we have never seen in any amateur team a harder
worker; one who never loses sight of the ball and who is
always on the alert backing basemen, than this rising yonng
player. The out field also shows increased strength; Mc-
Carthy, Geishaker and Kelly being able to oare for every-
thing coming their way. As a hitting team, the Aliens
ought from this on do some powerful work, for Buckley,
Evatt, Lewis, Rrilly, Stanley and Kelly are clever, hard stri-
kers. With judicious coaching and good captaining the
team ought to push its way rapidly to the front.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPHIPPUS,

SOMMARY.

The great athletio event of 1890 is passed and a general
quietness now prevails in amateur athletic circles. The new
Olympic grounds will in a way help to keep up the interest
in athletics, but it is very probable that the majority of the
crack amateurs will go out of training, now that they have
ended their duty of representing their clubs at the annual
championship meeting. There is a great boom in cycling,
but a general dullness prevails in the aquatic world.

IN THE SURF.

There is an increased attendance at the different surf baths
along the coast. At Santa Cruz, Oapitola and Monterey es-
pecially the number of bathers for this time of the year is
unusually large. Quite a number of our local society ladies
who are summering at Santa Cruz swim to the rafts daily,
and their daring feats in the ocean never fail to excite ad-
miration from the spectators on shore.

The Terrace Baths at Alameda were packed on Snnday. It
was the beBt day of the season so far. The Pacific Club boys
were out in full force as usual, and Borne of their exhibitions
gained considerable applause.

The members of the Lurline Club took the customary prac-
tice spins on Sunday, and are getting into trim for the swim-
ming and diving contests which will shortly take place under
the auspices of their club. Their club house is admirably
situated and the athletes can get up a sweat in the gymaa-
sium and afterwards take a plunge in the open sea.

The Olympic Clob will probably in the course of time fol-
low the examples of some of the leading Eisteru Amateur
Clubs by building a boating and bathing establishment for
the use of its members. There areseveral fine oargmen and
swimmers amongst the members of the O. A C. and such an
addition would most unquestionably prove a great boom.

A sad accident happened at the Terrace Baths, Alameda,
on Sunday afternoon last. A young man from Stockton waB
in bathing in the surf and not being acquainted with the
depths of the water, he essayed to dive head foremost from
a height of ten feet into eighteen inches of water. The result
of his mistake was an iojured spine and several bad bruises.
The Doctors who attended him were of the opinion that he
could not recover. During the past couple of years similai
accidents have occurred at both houses in this city resulting
fatally in some instances. Bathers have been oautioned time
and time again about the folly of diving into water without
having first ascertained its depth. We hopB Sundays un-
fortunate accident will influence bathers to be more cautious
in future.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

The University athletes are much nishearten9d over their
late defeat by the Olympic Club. Had the Btudents trained
as faithfully as the Olympic boys the result would have been
more even. It is exceedingly doubtful if the Berkeley men
will ever make as good a fight again for the championship
pennant, for, while their team may remain just as it is the
0. A. C. team will continue to grow larger and stronger so
that by next Decoration Day Beveral more men like Schiffer-
stein, Jarvis, Purcell, Casady, Cooley and Scott are likely to
wear the flying O on their shirts.

Lieutenant Donnelly of (he O. A. C. haB called a cross
country run for Sunday June 22. The rendezvous will
probably be SausalUo. It is expected that a large number of
novices will make their debut and that this will be the most
successful run of the year so far

The orosB country run of the Lurline Club which was to
have taken place lust Sunday has been indefinitely post-
poned.

The Acme and Alameda Olympic Clubs propose to hold
several cross country runs during the season. All associate
clubs of the P. C. A. A. A. will be invited to attend.

Captain John D. Garrison, of the Alpine Club, has called
a run for to-morrow from Jackson's Villa, Sausalito. The
run will be to Blythedale and return, a distance of about ten
miles. Memt ers are requested to take the 10 a. m. Sausalito
boat from this side.

P. C. A. A. A.

RULE XVII.

THE COURSE.

Each competitor shall keep in his respective position from
start to finish in all races on straightaway tracks, and in all
races on tracks with one or more turns he shall not cross to
the inner edge of the track, except when he is at least six feet
in advance of his nearest competitor.

The Referee shall disqualify from that event any competitor
who wilfully poshes against, impedes, crosses the course of,
or in any way interferes with another competitor.

The Referee shall disqualify from further participation in
the games Any contestant competing to lose, to coach, or in
any way impede the chanceB of another competitor, either in
a trial or final contest.

ROLE XVIII.

FINISH.

The finish of the course shall be represented by a line
between two finishing posts, drawn across and at right anglt-s
to the Bides of the track, and three feet above which line
shall be placed a tape, attaohed at either end to the finishing
posts.

The tape is to be considered the finishing line for the win-
ner, but the order of finishing across the track line shall
determine the positions of the other competitors.

A finish shall be counted when any part of the contestant's
body, except his hands or arms, shall touch the tape at the
finish line.

RULE XIX.

HURDLES.

Different heights, distances and number of hurdles may be
selected for hurdle races.

In the 120-yard hurdle race, ten hurdles shall be used,
each hurdle to be three feet six inches high. They shall be
placed ten yards apart, with the first hurdle fifteen yards
distant from the starting mark, and the last hurdle fifteen
yards before the finishing line. In the 220-yard hurdle race,
ten hurdles shall be used, each hurdle to be two feet six
inches high. They shall be placed twenty yards apart, with
the first hurdle twenty yards distant from the starting mark
and the last hurdle twenty yards before tbe finishing line.

In hurdle races of other distances and with different num-
bers of hurdles, the hurdles shall be placed at equal intervals,
with the same space between the first hurdle and the starting
point and the last hurdle and the finishing line as between
each of the hurdles.

In making a record it shall be necessary for the competitor
to jump over every hurdle in its proper position.

RULE XX.

JUMP INC.

Section 1. All jumping shall be made without any as-
sisting devices.

A fair jump shall be one that ia made without the assist-
ance of weights, diving, somersets, or handsprings of any
kind.

In all handicap jumps the scratch man shall be entitled to
try last.

Sec. 2. The Running High Jump. — The Field Judges
shall decide the height, at which the jump shall commence,
and shall regulate the succeeding elevations.

Each competitor shall be allowed three tral jumps at each
heigbt, and if on the third trial he shall fail he shall be de-
clared out of the competition.

Competitors shall jump in order as placed in the pro-
gramme; then those failing, if any, shall have their second
jump t ill in like order; after which those having failed
twice Bhall make their third trial jump.

The jump shall be made over a bar resting on pins, pro-
jecting not more than three inches from the uprights, and
when this bar is removed from its plaoe it shall be oounted
as a trial jump.

Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump
shall be counted as a "balk." and three successive "balks"
sbatl be counted as a trial jump.

The distance of the run before the jump Bhall be un-
limited.

A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his
turn, and by so doing forfeits his right to again jump at the
height he declined.

Sec. 3. The Standing High Jump. — The feet of the com-
petitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the
ground only once in making an attempt to jump. When the
feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are
made in making the attempt, it shall count &s a trial jump
without result.

With this exception tbe rules governing the high jump
shall alBO govern the standing high jump.

Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump. — When jumped on
earth, a joist five inches wide shall be sunk flush with the
earth. Tbe outer edge of the joist shall be called the scratch
line, and the measurement of all jumps shall be made from
it at right angles to the nearest break in the ground made by
any part of the person of the competitor.

In front of the scratch line the ground shall be removed
to the depth of three and the width of twelve inches out-
ward.

A foul jump shall be one where the competitor, in jump-
ing off the scratch line, makes a mark on the ground im-
mediately in front of it, and shall count as a trial jump with-
out result.

' Eich competitor shall have three trial jumps, and the best
three shall each have three more trial jumps.

The competition shall be decided by the beat of all the
trial jumps of the competitors.

The distance of the run before the scratch lines shall be
unlimited.

Sec 5 The Pole Vault.— Poles shall be furnished by the
club giving the games, but contestants may use their private
poles if they so desire, in which case the other contestants
shall also be allowed to use them if they wish. The pules
shall be unlimited as to size and weight, but shall have no
assisting devices excepting one prong at the end.

The rules governing the ranning high jump shall also
govern the po!e vault for hight, and the rules governing the
running broad jump shall also govern the pole vanlt for dis-
tance.

Sec. 6. The Standing Broad Jump. — The feet of the com-
petitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the
ground only once in making an attempt to jump. When the
feet are lifted from theground twice, or two springs are made

Sec. 7. The Three Standing Broad Jumps.— The feet of
the competitor shall leave the ground only once in making
an attempt for each of the three jumps, and no stoppage be-
tween jumps shall be allowed.

In all other respects the rules governing the standing broad

RULE XXI.

putting the shot.

The shot shall be a solid sphere, made of metal, of the
requisite weight.

It Bhall be put with one hand, and in making the attempt
it shall be above and not behind the shoulder.

The competitor shall stand in a oircle seven feet in diame-
ter, on four feet of the ciroumference of which shall be
placed a board four inches high, at which the competitor
must stand when the shot leaves his hand.

A fair put shall be one in which no part of the person of
the competitor shall touch in front ot the circle or on the
board in making the attempt.

A put shall be counted as foul if the competitor steps over
the front half of the circle or on the board before the meas-
urement of his put is made.

Foul puts and lettiDg go the shot in making an attempt
shall be counted as trial puts without result.

The measurement of all puts shall be made from the near-
est mark made by the shot to a point on the circumference
of the oircle, on a line with the object mark and the center of
the circle.

A board similar to the one in front may also be used at the
back of the circle. The order of competing and number of
trials shall be tbe same as for the running broad jump. Shots
shall be furnished by the club giving the games. Any con-
testant may use his private shot if correct in weight and
shape, in which case tbe other contestants must also be al-
lowed to use it if they wish.

AT THE OARS.

The coming regatta will hardly be as successful as ex-
pected. Somehow or other the oarsmen do not seem in-
clined to settle down to bard work, and in consequence, no
brilliant performances may be looked forward to. We do
not understand the dulln*s^ which at present prevails in
rowing circles, unless it be that people are losing interesL in
aquatio sports. The bay of San Francisco contains some of
the finest courses in the United States, and it is a great pity
that rowing ia not more extensively practiced and fostered.

The annual single scull race at Victoria, B. C, was rewed
on Miy 30th for $30 and a cup presented by R. C. Davis.
William Cotstord, C. Bush and J. Seely entered. CotBford
and Bush got away together, Seelj following close after
them, but falling behind at every stroke. After the first
half mile Cotsford showed bis friends that he had not for-
gotten his old-time bueineBB and he pulled a good race, be-
ing about five lengths ahead of Bush when he showed up.
Bush came in seoond, Seely haviog no place in the race.

Owing to the low tide on Sunday the South End men were
unable to launch their boats and very few crews were out.

J. B. Barber has challenged Joseph S. Nyland, of the Ariel
Clnb, for a three-mile race with a turn, over a course neur
Tiburon, for a pnrse of $250.

The Columbia Rowing Club of Oakland is considering the
advisability of sending a crew to compete for the Amateur
championship at the Victoria (B. C.) regatta, which will be
held on Dominion Day, July 1st.

The Lurline canoe fleet and several shells were out on
Sunday. The Lurline boys are hard workers, and will make
a good showing before the cIobo of the season.

den, forty-three were "ordinary" and ten were safeties.

The San Jose wheelmen are making great preparations for
the coming two day's meet. They will do all in their power
to make tbings pleasant and comfortable for the visiting
riders, and are sparing no pains to have the new four-lap
track in good order and suitable for record breaking. The
local wheelmen have been training faithfully for some weeks
past and a good many of the existing coast records will prob-
ably go under on July 4 and 5.

PROFESSIONAL, SPRINTING.

A moderate crowd of people, many of whom were ladies,
was present at Central Paik on Sunday afternoon to witness
the third Sheffield Handioap. Although a good many well
known sprinters were entered the betting was tame.

Captain Jordan of the- Olympic Club and several other
delegates of the P. C. A. A. A. were noticed amongst the
audience, and any amateur who took part in the heats will
be Bummarily dtalt with should he attempt to hoodwink any

In consequence of the Little trouble, P. N. Gafney of the
Alpine Amateur Athletic Club has declined to serve another
term as delegate to tbe P. C. A. A. A. Owing to business
matters, Mr. Gafney has been unable to accept any office in
his club for the next term.

George W. Jordan of the O. A. C. haB bIso resigned as a
delegate, and will be succeeded by James H. Gilhuly. Mr.
Jordan stateB that his reason for resigning is because some
of the other clubs' delegates opposed his action in barring
Little of the Alpine Club from the championship Rames.

being Bent east as was at first intended.

The Willows Agricultural Association is building a num-
ber of new stalls on the race course to accomodate the many
raoing men who participate iD their annual races.

Jess Armstrong (the horse who broke his leg at St. Louis)
had to be killed. His leg was amputated, but afterwards it
was decided to kill him as he was in such misery.

Mr. C. O. Seaman of San Diego, the former owner of Bell
Boy, has a gold mounted tooth of the unfortunate horse, the
only substantial portion of him remaining after his death.

The Kentucky 8tock Farm had as a frontis-piece last week
a group of free-for-all pacers; Johnston in the center, and
heads of Budd Doble, Boy Wilkes, Lillian and Ed Annan.

Kelseyville is rapidly coming into favor among the trotting
talent in Lake County. Corcoran is there with a striDg of
five; Hiram Tracy has two, and C. S. Piner is working four.

The Owens brothers are working Capt. Al, Mero, 2 — Wil-
didle — Precious and several youngsters on their track near
Fresno. Daisy D. will be put in training for the fall race?.

The State of Maine values the horses within her lines at
over $10,000,000, without putting on any fancy values. Such
being the case, this industry alone is of much value to the
State.

The purest gaited and most promising youngster under
Bither's care at the AllGn Farm is Experta, a two year siBter
to ExpresB 2:21 by Electioneer out of Esther a thorough-
bred mare.

Ella Hopkins, the dam of Geneva S. 2:19£, Quinine S 2:28*
and Mamie H 2:24J, was bred to a jack for two seasons and had
that valuable animal been living Bhe would probably having
been raising mules yet.

Fides, the winner of the Toboggan Slide, is exceptionally
highly bred, by imported 111 TJ=ed out of imported Filagree
by Stockwell, out of Extasy by Touchstone, thus having a
double Stockwell strain.

J. H. Goldsmith made a good start at Dundee Park last
week winning the three minute class with Dawson in straight
heats 2:3U, 2;26i, 2:23}, and the 2:20 with (Mr. Valensin's)
Simmocolon 2:25£, 2:24* 2:23*.

John Splan now haB about twenty five bead of trotters and
pacers in training at Cleveland. Among the Btring is Char-
ley Friel 2:15£. Jae. McLaughlin, a son of Bed Bill Mc-
Laughlin is Splan's understudy.

Tirail'.enr, who after Corunna, is the boss New Zealand
three year old this year is called *'Tra-la-la" by the Btable
boys. A New Zealand jockey loves French Dames as much
as the gaily dressed bookmaker does.

We have had exceptionally flattering accouDtB of Lucy Ab-
bott, who obtaiDed a record of 2:26i at Denver. Pete Bran-
dow's erstwhile pet is now the Du Bois brothers' pride, and
a mark below 20 is confidently expected.

Mr. McMillan has made an offer to trot Governor Stanford
2.23}, by Electioneer, out of Barnes by Whipple's Hamble-
tonian againtt Mr. Bamlm's i 'Limes by Electioneer out of
Beautiful Bells for S 1,000 or $5,000 a Bide.

Palo Alto will have a useful stable for the fall, despite
their many sales. Peel is doiog fair work and is expected to
stand up, while Faostine, Muta aud several of the young-
bters will be in good trim when required.

Sir William the three year old son of Sir Modred and Ves-
per, who ran so we'l in Australia this season over all dis-
tances is sire of about fifteen foal 4, having been turned loose
with a baud of mares prior to being put into training.

W. H. Wilson Cynthiana has purchased Colon, the dam
of Simmocolon, and Patchmore, by Strathmore, from Mrs. A.
P. Dills, Hopkiosvilie, Ky. Colon is in foal to Simmons.
Mr. Wilson also bought a yearling by Gordon 3127 out of
Colon.

A. Smith McCann of Lexington hap sold to Schmulbach &
Park of Wheeling, West Va., for §4,500, two yearling fillies
by Bed Wilkes, dams by Star Almont, and the two year old
bay filly Lady McGregor, by Bed Wilkes, dam by Kobert
McGregor.

Soprano, by Strathmore, 403, dam Abbess, by Albion, was
foaled in 1375, and she is the youngest broodmare that has
three representatives in the 2:30 list. She is the dam of C.
F. Clay, 2:18; Eminence. 2:18|, and Strathbridge, 2;2Si, all
by different horses.

Prince Koyal, carrying 116 lbs. last Wednesday at West-
chester, ran one and one-sixteenth miles in 1:464, the last
mile in 1:40, beating all previous records by three-quarters of
a second. Evidently the Prince has a good chance for the
Suburban yet.

HorseB run in all shapes. Tirailleur, the New Zealand
crack race horBe is said to be a slab-sided, three-cornered
kind of a horse, while Tenny, Dave Pulsifer's pet, would
not be taken as a model by a sculptor, ?nais nHmporte, they
race in all shapes.

The Valentine Banch Dear Pleasanton, which was pur-
chased a few weeks ago for Senator Hearst, will be used
principally for training purposes, a mile track will soon be
built and the youngsters from the San Simeon and Cambria
rauchos will be sent up as soon as they are broken.

Messrs. W. B. Hearst and J. Follansbee have gone to their
ranch in Chihuahua, Mexico. Mr. FollanBbee will putin
training there Lovelace 3 by Kyrle Daly out of My Love and
Kingmaker by Warwick out of Sister to Jim Douglass, and
if they show up well will bring them here for the fall meet-
ing of the Blood Horse.

T. H. Williams Jr. last week purchased from Palo Alto
Stock Farm the two-year-old Kiufax by Argyle, out of imp.
Amelia. Binfax won a sweepstake for two-year-olds at San
Jose, and the Matadero Stakes at Sacramento. He will join
the Undine stable, which is at present at Washington Park,
Chicago.

W. M. Murry started out in wincing form on the opening
day last Tuesday at Kansas City. Lord of the Harem, Wil-
didle — Frolic ran a good second for the Derby, while Para-
pet Bulwark — Nelly Brady woo a five furlong for two year
olds and Kiro .3. Hooker — by FoBter easily accounted for the
six furlong and repeat.

The often quoted veteran racing reformer, Admiral Boos
—than whom there was no firmer believer in the progress of
the thoroughbred, wrote: "The form of Flying Childers
might win a £30 plate, winner to be sold for £40: High-
flyer and EclipBe might pull through in a £50 plate,
winner to be sold for £200.

Bepresentatives of the Willows, Bed Bluff, Cbico and
Marysville district fairs held a meeting in Marysville last
Monday and formed a circuit commencing at Willows August
12th-16th, thence to Bed Bluff, 19th-25th and Chico, 26th-
30th, winding op with Marysville Sept. 2nd to 6th. Up-
wards of $20,000 will bo offered in purse and stakes.

Andy McDowell left Pleasanton last Wednesday with
Direct, 2:18J, Margaret S., 2:19$, Cricket and Katy S.'for the
Eastern campaign. All of them have been showing great
form in their work this season, and great things are expected
from them. T. H. Williams sent his recent purchase, Bin-
fax, in the same car; he will be turned over at Chicago to
McCorinick.

W. J. Gordon has found a mate for the great Guy, as faraB
matching in regard to color, size and appearance. The two
sons of Kentuoky Prince are bo much alike that half the peo-
ple seeing them hitched double for the first time were unable
to tell which was Gny and which waB Prince Hogarth. Mr.
Gordon made his purchase at the reoent FaBig Bale, and paid
$2,150 for the Pr.nce.

Among the purchasers at the Dixiana sale were Messrs.
Haggin, Eobo and Daly. MarcnB Daly paid $4100 for a colt by
Alarm out of Adonia and $650 for a colt by Alarm out of
Queechy. J. B. Haggin paid $1,500 for the Himyar — Hearsay
filly, $1,500 for a colt by Alarm — Haz'ern and $1,400 for two
others. L. J. Bose gave $650 for a Himyar filly. The 29
head sold for $32,575.

Bravo, the winner of the last Melbourne Cnp, has been par-
chased by Mr. Southall for Messrs. Apcar & Gasper, two
prominent Indian turfites. Thirteen hundred guineas was
the price paid for Grand Flaneur's son, and, as Mr. Cripps,
who purchased him nnder the hammer last November, only
gave 975 guineas for him, he has cleared about 30 per cent,
on his five months' investment.

In the Hoose of Commons on May 15th, Mr. Matthews, in
answer to Mr. Samuel Smith, Baid, that every telegram with
respect to betting, was not illegal, but only those inviting
bets, or advertising special information or advice, with a view
to betting. Mr. Matthews said there would be a great diffi-
culty in having such a complete examination of all telegrams
as would be neceBsary to detect those contravening the act.

The English horse Trappist— in his day one of the crack
sprinters, has joined the majority. He was by the recently
defunot Hermit out of Banch, by Muscovite out of Diome-
dia, and when in the zenith of his racing career was the pro-
perty of Captain Prime, for whom he won the Stewards'
Cup at Goodwood in 1875. The best of bis produce is
probably L'Abbesse de Jouarre, last year's Oaks victress.
He was latterly owned by the Duke of Hamilton.

Australians follow the old English plan in dealing with
Welshers, an exchange Bays: A disturbance occurred on
the centre of the course at Bundwick shortlv after the race
for the Sydney Cup. One of the speculative gentry, who
had evidently overlaid Carbine in his book, was about to
make fin unostentatious exit from the course, but hia victims
intercepted him. and treated him to suoh rough usuage that
when he escaped his clothing presented a scene of wreckage
rarely witnessed on a racecourse.

Jimmie McLaughlin's little nine year old son is already
quite a horseman. He exercises a few of the Lorillard string
every morning, and it is said that he sits hia saddle like a
veteran. In face and figure he lb remarkably like his father,

"Lucky" Baldwin is as lucky on the turf as in dealings
with mining stooks and real estate says a New York daily.
He is about five feet nine inches tall, thin and of dark com-
plexion. His hair is gray, and so aTe his mustache and goa-
tee. He does not bet much. If be has a good thing he will
put up $500, and he is nervous and excited all the time un-
til he has won or lost. He plaoes his money himself, and is
usually to be found in the betting ring watching the odds of
the bookmakers, waiting to get the best of the odds.

Mr. Tom Merry, acting on behalf of Mr. L. J. Bose, has
purchased the following thoroughbred mare3 in Victoria:
Catherine's Wheel (full Bister to Taotallon),6yrs.,,by Welling-
ton from Pbizgig (imported — dam of Suwarrow); Harmony, 5
years, by The Drummer (imported), from Maritana. by New
Warrior from Mermaid (grandam of Meloa and The Broker);
also SpiDach, 2 jrs., by Atlantic, from Saakale by Ladykirk,
from Saucepan (imported, dam of Haricot, Fryingpan, etc )
Catherine's Wheel is in foal to Dunlop, and Harmony and
Spinach are to be served by him at onca to foal to American
time

It is said that Mr. Abington (Baird) has already run through
£500,000 in his short and stormy career on the turf. Mr. Abing-
ton Btarted out badly, being ruled off for fixing a race — at
Derby, I think, in which he rode the winner. In those days
he was one of the worst riders among the Bo-called gentle-
men jocks, but he has shown great improvement in style,
seat and finish since his retnrn to the turf, and is now a
fairly good rider. One of his first purchases on his being
re-inBtated was the mare Busy bod? for 8,800 guineas at the
Falmouth sale in the spring of 18S4 in which year she won
the One Thousand and Oaks before breakiog down.

The S. S Alameda which arrived from Australia had on
board six mares pnrcha=ed for Mr. L. J. Bose by T. B. Mer-
ry, and a two year old colt. Seven mares were" shipped, but
one, a full sister to the renowned Sheet Anchor, died en route.
The six which arrived were all very healthy but in poor con-
dition evidently having been shipped lean and seem very
weedy specimens to be by such horses as Darebin, Musket
and The Drummer. What their dams were I could not find
ont as Mr. Merry's men knew next to nothing about them.
Mr. Merry will come on the next trip with the other eight
mares which are being bred.

The following horses have recently been purchased in
Montana for Senator Fair's breeding farm, elope to
Knight's landing, near Sacramento: Fanny McGregor, chest
not filly, by Robert McGregor, dam Fanny Patchen by Mam
brino Patchen; Hattie H.. bay filly, by Wyoming Chief, dam
Flora Wilkes by George Wilkes; Lizzie H„ bay filly, by Wy-
oming Chief, dam by Dictator, second dam by Fanny Pat-
chen; Annie Kirkwood, chestnut filly, by Satinwood, dam
Annie Kirksey; Z^ttie, bay filly by Wyoming Chief, dam
Flora Wilkes by George Wilkes, and Princess Wilkes, black
filly, by Ned Wilkes, dam by American Clay.

Although the racing season of 1S89-90 will not actually
c'ose for over a month, the Hon. J. White has broken all
previous records concerning the amount of stakes won, his
total being over £20.000. This (writes the Leader) is a sub-
stantial increase on the largest sum ever previouely won by
one owner in a season in Australia, the highest sum in for-
mer seasons (all to Mr. White's credit) being £16,72S for
1S87-8; £15,027 for 1SS5-6; £14,496 for 1SSS-9; and £13,783
for 1887-7. The Hon. D. S. Wallace will again be second
on the list of winning owners, having up to date won about
£9,400 in stakes. Last year the contest between the two
most popular owners in New South "Wales and Victoria re-
soeetively waB much closer, Mr. White winning £14,496, and
Mr. Wallace £10.327.

Phaeton, the well known racing correspondent of the
Auckland Weekly News, eays: "Since the mighty deeds of
Carbine at the recent A. J. C. Meeting I have heard many
arguments as to his height and measurements with those ol
his sire. In order to settle a dispute on the point, I have
looked up the question, and the following is the result:

Musket. Carbine.

Height, 16h. Hin. Height, 16h. 4m.

Girth, 6ft. Tin. Girth, 5 ft. 7iin.

Forearm, 21 J in. Forearm, 17io.

Below knee, 8| in' Below knee, 7Jin.

It should be stated, however, that Musket was measured
at sixteen years old, while Carbine's measurement was taken
when he was rising four years old."

Muzzles are still used by many trainers, particularly race
horse men, whose horses often look as though a good feed
would have done them good. Charles Marvin whose career
as a trainer and educator of horses is phenomenal says in his
book on Training the Trotting Horse, that muzzles are an
invention in horsewear that are an unmitigated evil, and if
every trainer were of my mind the harness-makers would
soon forget how to make them. They will drive their heads
to the bottom of the bucket of water, and take chances of
breathing through their ears rather than draw back; they
will try to swallow three quarts of oatB in one gulp, will
g~>rge on all the bay, straw or anything eatable in sight, and
even iu their sleep will dream of hay-stacks. With such a
horse I would far rather regulate his feed carefully, bed him
with something he cannot eat, or even lie him np. In a rare
case the muzzle might be used on a gluttonous colt, but they
are hardly ever necessary, and their use hardly ever excus-
able.

Before the racing began at Morris Park on the 4th, several
individuals were to be seen moving about at a lively rate
buttonholing every visitor as be arrived at the course. These
same individuals talked with horsemen, and in fact everybody
at the track whom they could reaoh. After they hadinter-
viewed several hundred people, they retired to one of the
cigar stands with the orowd following in the betting ring,
and exhibited a petition which stated that the said parties
were authorized to represent the undersigned to sue the New
York and New Haven Railroad for overcharges of fare, which
wns paid by said parties last year when 50 cents was jnid for ■
excursion tickets to the course. It was claimed that the rail-
road overcharged its pitrona in violation of law, aod that the '
sun*, together with damages, would be recovered. When the
movements of the lawyers became knowu to the track officials
the sheets were ordered removed from the cigar cases, and
the parties warned not to continue to work on their scheme
under penalty of ejectment. The whole business created
quite some excitement as long as it lasted.

"Some horses, like some men, have greatness thrast upon
them," says an exchange, "bat pacers have always been an
exception to this trueism. The Bide wheeler has always been
looked upon as of plebian origin, and any honors enjoyed
were dearly earned. Gibson's or Moore's Tom Hal stood
the greater part of his life at a fee of $5, and Little Brown
Jng wa« sold for $25. The great Brown Hal, whose present
value is almost beyond price, was sold for $56 50, part of the
bum being paid in wheat and peas." Wilson's Sam, 15, was at
one time kept as a teaser for a jack, and his owner was glad
to get §5 —for a service when the colt shonld stand and suck.

So long ago as 1S69. the late Lord Derby, in writing of the
Turf, suggested that ltB then deterioration was brought
about — "(1) by the premature running of two-year olds; (2)
by the multiplication of short races, which enables horses to
be brought out oftener, and so affords more frequent oppor-
tunities of gambling; and (3) by the great preponderance of
handicaps. These last are a necessary evil, but their avowed
tendency is to place the best and worst horses on an equal
footing, and thus to encourage the breed of the latter at
least equally with the former." It is not a little curious that
after an interval of more than thirty years the Jockey Club
shonld be contemplating a change in the direction Lord
Derby hinted at in the second of his reasoDs for a deteriora-
tion, which was then, as it is now, more apparent than real.

Up to the present time there are but fen great brood mares
that have a record of 2:30 or better. They are as follows:
Beautiful Bells, 2;29A, dam of four with records from 2:19}
to 2;24i, Daisy Burns, 2:29£, dam of two with records of 2:28
and 2;28J; Dixie, 2:30, dam of one, and second dam of one;
Lady Franklin, 2:29$, dam of one, and second dam of one;
Mary A. Whitney, 2:23, dam of two with records of 2:22i
and 2:29$; Molhe 2:27. dam of one trotter and one pacer;
Pocahontas (pacer) 2:17A, dam of one, second dam of two,
and second dam of two" speed-p-oducing Btallions; Prairie
Bird, -2:283-, dam of one. second dam of one, and second dam
of one speert-prodacing stallion; Tackey, 2:26, dam of three
from 2:20 to 2:22^, second dam of one (pacer) and second
dam of one speed-producing stallion; Lucille Golddust, 2:26}
dam of two with records of 2:19i and 2:20*.

The ten pool room beepers in St. Louis, says
the Times-Democrat, were tricked out of a sum esti-
mated between $5,000 and $7,000 by the old wire-tapping
scheme. The killing was made by the conspirators on the
last race at Latonia. The race wire from Latonia was in
trouble after the second race, and there were long delays be-
tween the fourth and fifth races The race was the Harold
stake for two-year-olds. Palestine was the favorite at 3 to I,
bnt the talent in St. Louis selected Gascon and Allan Bane.

The gang got the winner, Georgetown, who was S to 1, and
held the race back fifteen minutes. Suoh a flood of money
came in on Georgetown that the rooms all wipe! out the
race before the message annonncing "off" came." The
money was paid on Georgetown and the conspirators were la-
ter caught dividing the spoils and talking over ihe trick.
They had the winner, Daisy F, in the fourth race, but as she
was an even money shot they could not make much.

The St. Louis Republic of last Saturday says: ''Ed Corri-
gan was the maddest man in town yesterday. He arrived
from Latonia yesterday morning with his great 3 year-old,
Kiley, for the purpose of starting him in the Derby. About
11 o'clock he marched into the Fair Grounds office on
Chestnut street, and after a pleasant greeting to Mr. Bruce,
who is acting secretary daring the meeting, tendered the re-
quisite amount to make Riley a starter in the Derby. When
Mr. Bruce informed him that the Jockey Club held a letter
from his clerk, in which Riley was ordered declared last
April, the big horseman almost dropped to the floor. His
face took on several colors and when he had regained con-
trol of his voice he demanded that the letter be shown him,
which was done. This satisfied him, but it did not cool his
temper. Had Riley been in the race yesterday he would
certainly have made Bill Letcher stretch his neck to have
won the juicy plum at the end of the course.

There are several different speculations as to the form the
proposals of the Stewards of the Jockey Club will take as to
the supposed preponderance of short distance races, says the
Sportiug Chronicle. One authority sayB they will be of "a
very stringent charaoter, and will place races of a mile and
upwards, on a equal footing with those run over a less dis-
tance, so that those managers of meetings who have been
contributing large Bums of money for short distance races
will be compelled in future to frame their programme eo that
at least as much money must be given away for races of a
mile and upwards as for shorter ones. It is very likely that
considerable hostility will be found to this proposal from a
section of the club, but I have no doubt at all that in the
end the Stewards will be successful." Another correspon-
dent thinks that the "Stewards of the Jockey Club can be
depended upon, however, to introduce reform in a temper-
ate manner, and will surely turn a deaf ear to some of the
suggestions that have been advanced. Handicaps orweight-
for-age races decided over long courses must remain in the
minority, and the principal object that should be held in
view is to strike a blow at the present hurry-scurry system. "
How the reform can be "stringent" and "temperate" at one
and the same time remains to be seen.

!

Mr. W. G. Craves, iererring to raciDg of thoroughbreds,
in an article contributed to a contemporary, seems to doubt
whether any benefit would be derived from three-year-olds
being trained for long courses. "It must Le remembered,"
he remarks, "that in the old days of long races the horses
frequently did not appear in public till four, five and six
years of age. Nowadays, two-year-old racing commences in
March, when many of the competitors are really not of full
age, many having been born in April and May, and there is
no clear proof that any harm has come from this system; and
C3rtainly the size and quality of our horses have in no way
deteriorated, whilst their performances are quite equal to
those of their ancestors for the distances over which they are
asked to race. Besides which, the system of not running
two-year-olds till August exists in France, and twenty years
ago people who raised a cry against two-year-old racing
prophesied that the French would eventually beat us. Has
this come to pass?"

"Ribbleden," the Sydney correspond en tyof the Australian,
says, Rpeaking of the phenomenal Carbine — "It is a most
difficult thing for even the most experienced racing man to
tell when Carbine is beaten. He possesses the knack, some-
how, of doing exactly what is wanted of him, irrespective of
distance, weight, or the quality of his adversaries. The ex-
penditure of his forces is regulated by circumstances. If he
were pitted against a hack, he would not try to bring dis-
grace upon his opponent by finishing the length of a street
in front. He would probably win by a head or so; and any
but the most practised eye might be deceived as to the horse's
real capabilities. No matter under what disadvantages he
runs a race, Carbine gets there all the same. What difficul-
ties were presented in the All- Aged Stakes may be gauged
from the fact that men who have been racing all their lives
betted hundreds and hundreds of pounds at evens that Car-
bine would not win when Prelude and Correze swept into the
straight with four or five lengths the best of it; but the re-
sult shows that it is almost impossible for any one to deter-
mine when Carbine is beaten. A more honest horse or a
more courageous horse was never seen. Mick O'Brien says
that the two-year-olds took Carbine off his legs at the
start, and never gave him an opp rtunity of steadying him
or of pulling him together."

A Buffalo Commercial representative said to Mr. C.
J. Hamlin; "You recently purchased a few thoroughbred
mares down in Tennessee to mate with your trotting-bied
horses; now, why wouldn't it have been just as wise to have
Bent some of your trotting bred mares to be mated to some of
the great race horses?" "I maintain," said Mr. Hamlin,
"that the sire controls the action more than the dam, be-
cause he is stronger. This is true, also in the human fam-
ily. In nine cases out of ten, children take more after their
father than their mother, especially as to gait and disposi-
tion." "Would you, a breeder of long experience, advise a
young man of limited means to buy a thoroughbred mare to
mate with a trotting-bred horse, in hopes of raising a 2:20
nag, in preference to buying an equally good trotting
mare?" "No Bir. A man with limited means cannot afford
to experiment. It is different in the case of Senator Stan-
ford, myself, and perhaps others. If I fail to get good re-
sults from my thoroughbred mares from the fir3t cross, lean
outcross them again, and get tro'tiog instinct sufficient to
overcome the thoroughbred desire to rnn. Thoroughbred
blood, as all know, gives finish and staying qualities. I
have been careful in my selection of running mares to secure
daughters of thoroughbreds that possessed as much trotting
action as possible, so it would be necessary to make but
one outcross. Whether I will succeed or not time alone will
tell."

Judge Morton of the Circuit Court on June 5th appointed
E. A. Tipton receiver for the trotting stallion Red Wilkes.
He is owned jointly by MisB Nannie Smith and W. C. France.
The latter has kept bim at his place for more than three
years, and Miss Smith brought suit for a receiver, claiming
that the books wore not kept right, and that the horse's ftes
should be raised to $500. In granting the receiver the court
ordered that the horse shonld remain at France's farm, bat
that the receiver Bhould have entire control of him.

The inaugural meeting of the Gridley Trotting Association
held last week was highly successful. The Gridley Herald
says: The attendance was between 1,000 and 1,500. Henry
Block Sr., and C. N. Reed were chosen as judges; Wm. Elliott
Sr., timer. The first event was a mile heat for $250 a side,
between Elliott's Cyclone and Carstenbrook's Wonder. Cy-
clone was a favorite in the pools, selling at $8 to
$5 for Wonder. The result corroborated the pool box,
Cyclone winning with ease, in 2:52£. Next on the pro-
gramme was a two in three contest between Rhoton's Single-
ton Jr., and Wm. Sligar's Eclipse. This was a surprise
for the sports, the mare Eclipse being unknown so far as
Bpeed was concerned. She took the first heat in 2:34. Sin-
gleton won the second iu 2:39. In the third and deciding
heat Singleton held the pole until entering the second quar-
ter when the little mare captured that position and "dusted"
him all the way around, winning the heat and race in the re-
markably good time of 2-.32i. H. Block's Crazy Jane, J. G.
Lewis' John G. and F. C. Haack's Lightning Strieker then
entered into a two in three contest; purse, $350. Lightning
Striker won the first two heats and race. Time, 2;56£ and
2;41£. The sports lost heavily on this race, Crazy Jane be-
ing the favorite at odds of 3 to 1 on. W. S. Harkey's Belle and
Lightning Striker trotted a single mile for a purse of $250,
the latter winning in 2:32|. John G. and Crazy Jane trotted
a mile for $100 a side, owners driving. It was a dead heat.
Time, 2:43. The matoh was declared off. '

A meeting was held in Susanville, Lassen Couaty, at
which the following resolutions were passed.

'It is proposed to hold a County Fair at the Fair Grounds
near Susanville in the month of September or October, 1890,
and, if a sufficient sum of money Bhall be subscribed, it can
be made a gTeat success.

"The program, as understood, is to make it strictly a
County Fair! No purses or premiums will be given for ex-
hibits from any other locality, or for horses, except those
which have been owned and kept within Lassen County for
at least six months before the first day of the Fair.

"By this method all money subscribed for the Fair will be
distributed among farmers and stock-raisers of the county,
and the main objection raised against the District Fair be
obviated.

"It will be strictly a Farmers' and Stock-raisers' Fair, as
all the money subscribed will be given in premiums and pur-
ses for Lassen County products and stook.

"We therefore expect that farmers and stock-raisers will
contribute liberally toward the exhibition of our products
and advertisement of our county. This is a prosperous sea-
son, and it is a great opportunity to show what Lassen
county can produce.

"We cannot be loser, for all the money subscribed will be
kept at home.

'Let us all put together, and have a grand exhibition."

Evidently Lassen Co. believes in protection, in fact is a
good old Tory county.

A prominent English sporting journal says that next to the
champion horse of the century (Ormonde). Petrarch was
most probably the highest priced animal that ever ohanged
hands. (Petraroh was, I think, the handsomest horse I ever
saw.— En.T. T ) With Petrarch having won the Middle Park
Plate, beating all the best horses in training, and seeming to
have stakes to the value of £25, COO— including the Guineas,
Derby, Grand Prize, St. Leger, and Prince of Wales' Slakes
— at his mercy, it is no wonder that he was worth a lot of
money. The "cash down" paid by Lord Dupplin was the
extremely moderate sum of £11,000, but, in addition to this,
Mr. Gosden, who bred and owned the horse, was to receive
one-fourth of such raceB as the horse might win in which, at
the time of the sale, he was engaged. Mr. Gosden, not for-
getting his jockey, secured for Goater in the agreement £200
in case the horse won the Two Thousand, and £300 for the
Derby. Goater did very well by this, as, though Luke rode
him when he won the Two Thousand, the £200 was paid all
the same, and Lord Dupplin, who was no niggard, gave him
£500 when he won the St. Leger. The races Petrarch won
under the agreement were: The Two Thousand Guineas,
value £4 100; the Prince of Wales' Stakes, value £2.750, and
the St. Leger, valoe. £4,850. This giveB a total of £11.700.
One-fourth of the above amount represents £2,925. which,
added to the £11.000, paid in the first instance, gives a total
of £13,925, or £75 less than the Duke of Westminster is
reported to have paid for Donca&ter. Taking into considera-
tion the £200, however, to which Goater became entitled
under the conditions, the purchase money was increased to
£14,125— the largest sum that has ever been paid, with the
exception of the big sum that iB said to have been given for
Ormonde.

The 8porting World speaking of the Tenny race says: While
the big bandicap was being ron.Col.Pulsifer sat up in the grand
stand serenely Fmoking a cigar, and Trainer Donovan looked
a little thoughtful as he sat under the shade of the trees in
the paddock, but there was one member of the stable that
waB fully alive to all the excitement and inportance of the
occasion.

He was a diminutive urchin, with about as cute and mis-
chievous a little black face as one can well imagine, and
when the horses were at the post be perched himself monkey-
like on the backstretoh fence the better to watch the proceed-
ing.

"Dat white boy can't ride, I knowed he nebber couldn't
ride that boss," muttered the youngster as the horses made
a break away and Snapper pulled up Tenny righting for his
bead.

"Now dat hoss am mad an he ain't again ter try. I know
him better dan any ob dem. Doan' I ride him all de time?"
And the little Bcamp's eyes fairly leaped out of their sockets
in his intense excitement.

"Look at him now, jes look at him," he screamed. "Dar
he's off last and dar der hev shut him off. Poll out dar men
and gib that hoss a show. Pull out an he'll beat every
body."

As the horse turned into the stretch, and Tenny commenced
to olose up, he lost all control of his emotions and yelled till
he was hoarse, but when the horses had parsed the winning
post he became as decile as a lamh, and a quiet smile over-
spread his fe.t'iKs a he softly ejaculated:

"I knowed it all ae time. I knowed dey couldn't nebber
beat dat little bay boss;" and then he climbed off the
fence and wended his way back to the stable, stopping oc-
casionally on the journey to execute an impromptu break-
down; but mainly he confined himself to murmuring through
his smiles: "I knowed it all de time."

The venerable Judge Barry, of Gallatin Tenn., who with
General Andrew Jackson, used to be active sopnorters of the
turf, gives a correspondent of the Tennessee Farmer a brief
description of one of ye olden times races as follows:

The Judge, speaking of old-time racing, described a race
he saw when the jockey (who was a slave) won the race and
hip freedom. It was on the old Nashville course, and the
horse was Tennessee Oscar, son of Wonder. He was a run-
away horse and dangerous to ride. The rider was Simon,
the best jockey of bis day. The proprietor of Edgefield, Dr.
John Shelby was a generous man, and on« of superior judg-
nent. He had great confidence in Oscar, and knew if he wt»s
well ridden he would reach any goal aimed at. He bet a
large sum of money on him, and told Simon he had bet $250
for him, and that if Oacar won, he could buy himself.
Simon belonged to a widow lady who only asked $400 for
him, as he was lazy and impudent and only fit for the sad-
dle. In those days jockeys were not in such demand as
they are now, nor did they receive half the pay. It was a
four-mile heat race, aDd when the horses were brought to the
post, (there were several Btarted) Oscar was in the wildest
mood and got a bad start, but in a few rounds, it seemed,
he passed one, then another, and by the time he reached the
half-mile post where I stood, he waB going like the
wind. Here Dr. Shelby yelled to Simon: ''Why don't you
pull that horse?" Simon replied, as he flew on: "Look at hiB
mouth; what more can I do?" His mouth was wide open
and he was running away, and such a burst of speed I nev-
er saw before nor since. He distanced all the field except a
fine Whip horse owned by an excellent man and trainer,
Berry Williams, and it was with difficolty he could be
stopped. The next beat was but a repetion of the first.
Simon was again instructed to pull him, and not to distance
Mr. Williams' horse. Simon said: "I will do all I can, gen-
tlemen, but I am riding a crazy horse to-day." Oscar took
the bit and ran away. He ran eight miles in all, the Whip
horse barely saving his distance. He was the gamest horse
I ever saw, and did as much to improve the stock of Ten-
nessee as any horse that ever lived. I was in Gallatin loDg
enough to learn that.

The Gymkhana races of the Rockaway Hunting Club, in
which ponies not exceeding 14 hands 1 inch high will com-
pete, will take place at Cedarhurst, Saturday, July oth, on
the arrival of the 1:30 train from Long Island City. The
Times says: There will be six races— the first a "dressing
race," in which the ponies are to be brought to the starting
point with only a bridle on. The saddle and the coat and
waistcoat of the rider will be on the ground. After the
starting signal is given, each competitor must saddle and
girth Ms pony, put on his coat and waistcoat, and make for
the winning post, when the first man to arrive with coat and
waistcoat all buttoned will be the winner.

There will also be a "manikin race," each competitor rid-
ing to a point in which manikins will be placed, picking up
one and carrying it to the winning post; a "polo ball and
bucket" race, in which each competitor will ha^e to put three
balls in as many buckets, and then come in first; a "cigar
and umbrella" race, in which the competitors are provided at
the start with a cigar, matches and an umbrella, and must
light the cigar, open the umbrella, mount aod reach the win-
ning post with cigar alight, and umbrella in good order.

The fifth race, open only to members of the American
Pony Racing Association, will be very amusing, and is called
the "egg and spoon" race. Each rider muBt carry an egg in
a wooden spoon held in one hand, and must arrive at the
winning post with the egg unbroken and in tbe spoon. If
the egg fall, the competitor must replace it without outside
assistance, and Btart again from the point where it fell or he
may return to the starting post for another egg. The last will
be a "turning race,"the start being made midway between two
two posts. The riders must run around the two posts twice
and finish on the second round at the point at which they
started.

First and second prizes will be offered for all races, and
the rules of the American Pony Racing Association will gov-
ern. Members of any recognized club may compete, except
in the fifth race. Entries should be addreeBed to the Exec-
utive Committee of the Gymkhana Races, at Cedarhurst,
stating riding colors, on or before Monday, June 30th. En-
trance fees are $1 for each race. The judges are V. A.
Blac^ue, Jenkins Van Schaick, and E C. La Montague; ll
clerk of the course is Capt. R. J. Blake, and the E:
Committee is composed of E. C. La Montague, Lt
] cob, Jr., and J. D. Cheever.

Training
The Trotting Horse

BY CHARLES MARVIN.

This great practical horse boot is a handsome,
three hundred page ortavo, bound In ciotb, ele-
gantly printed, superbly illustrated, and explains
in every detail the rematkable succeBs of
CHARLES MARVIN and the whole plans and me-
thods pursued at Palo Alio as to breaking, training,
shoeing, galling, drivi ug, beeping, racing and
breeding trotters.

Read what J. C. Sibley, the owner of St. Bel, says
of this book: "In this work Marvin has let out all
the niyst ries of the craft, and it is so Bimple anfl
plain that any breeder, owner, trainer or rubber
who has any relish for his business can take a colt
as a yeai ling and develop to the highest and fullest
extent that colt's capacity as a trotter. The work
Impressed me bo strongly that I have ordered twenty
copies, and shall place one In the bands of every
rubber on our farm." Mailed postpaid for |3.60.

Gnm's G-osBip.
There are seventeen yearling trotters at Rosenieade.

Harry Rose, a son of Senator L J. Rose, was married on
Monday to Miss Carrier of San Francisco.

It is now believed that Laredo will not go East. It is re-
ported that he did not show np as well as expected in his
work at Santa Anita.

I want every horseman in the state to send me all the newB
obtainable. We are anxions to hear from all sections, and
letters will be always acceptable.

John Watts, the successful rider of Sainfoin in the English
Derby received a cheque for £5C0 from the plucky owner —
Sir Jas. Miller.

W. U. Jones, Columbia, has bought from Major Campbell
Brown, a half interest io the five-year-old stallion McEwen,
2:18£, for $12,600. Ed Geeis will still train him.

Senator Rose is not satisfied with his already large string
of thoroughbreds, and has purchased from the Dwyer Bros.,
of New York, a yearling filly by Reform, dam Megara.

Entry blanks for the Los AngeleB meeting can ba secured
at this office, a liberal supply having been received from the
Secretary of the Sixth District Agricultural Association.

Balgowan, who won the Southern IfHotel Stakes at St.
Louis, is owned by Lieutenant Clay of Los Angeles. He is
by Strathmore, and was bred by George Clay of Kentucky.

Sixteen trotters and pacers have this early entered the 2;30
list of 1890, with records ranging from 2;24 to 2;30. Sulian
and Jim Wilson are the only Bires so far with two to their
credit.

Bruce Cockrill,s mare Marvin by Eyrie Daly, dam Marian
by Hubbard has had a filly foal by Ironclad and has been
sent to Sacramento to receive the embraces of Prince of
Norfolk.

L. J, Rose's gorgeous jacket was seen in front at West-
chester laet Thursday, the speedy filly Fairy beating Blithe,
EclipBe and others, running the five fmloDgs in 1:0H on a
dead slow track.

When is the great tumbling of records going to cease? Ten
Broeck's mile was made in 1:39|, and yet Fides, in the
Toboggan handicap, ran three quarters in 1:10£, at the rate
of about 1;33J for the mile.

■ It iB now said that Major B. G. Thomas has made W. Lake-
land an offer for Exile, and that when the horse is retired
from the turf, he will fall into the Major's hands. I think
be will go to Rancho del Paso.

Mr. J. M. Smith of Contra Coata County, has lo3t a fine
filly. °y Anteeo Jr. The youngster was being halter broken,
and 'threw herself backward, causing an artery to burst, and
the filly only survived a few moments.

J. W. Robinson, one of the directors of the Sixth District
Agricultural Association, was in the city this week from Los
Angeles. He reports that the meeting to be held in Los
Angeles v. ill eclipse all previous efforts.

Bow Bells has recovered from his accident of a few weeks
since and he is now sound and well. Bow Bells, Bonnie
Wood, and several Wedgewood two-year-olds will be taken
through the Southern Circuit by Johnny Thomas.

H. H. Bancroft of San Diego County, has sold to H S.
Richards of El Cajon, the stallion Alert, by Arthorton 365,
dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31. Alert has several prom-
ising young collB that should bring him to the front.

There have been many enquiries for the San Jose entries
but Secretary Bragg has evidently overlooked this matter
and neglected to send them. Horsemen on making entries to
parses and stakes want to hear as soon as possible what they
have to contend against.

There are many who expect to see the record for a mjle
and a auarter beaten in the Suburban, if it be good day and
traok. "Kingston made a low mark to shoot at but the
extraordinary speed shown by several of the candidates, is
enough to cause the assumption.

Although Balkan 2:29 } was withdrawn from the service
this year, it was not on account of his foals, as the sucklings
by him are much admired by all that have seen them. He
will be sent for a low record thiB year and it will take better
than a "twenty" horse to beat him.

Andv McDowell is rolling onward toward the great Eastern
circuit hiving the Pleasanton horses in charge. I asked him
before he started what the prospects were but he refused to
answer. One of the stable boys said they expected to hire
another car to bring back the winnings.

A full brother to Yolo Maid is at present being worked at
the track by Mr. Nolan, object being to Bhow two miles in
5:00, which if accomplished will cause the gelding to change

» hands as a Mr. Foster, from Australia, has an option on him
if he accomplishes the distance in the time mentioned.
Gen. Turner was not satisfied with the record he made for
Buisurl 2;25A, so to Bee what he could do with the mare,
gave her a gentle "breather" on Saturday last over the Bel-
mont Park track, and negotiated the distance in 2;19£. From
present appearances, the Electioneer boom will still continue.

The Los AngeleR programme meets with popular approval
tbid year, and in consequence the Southern citrus belt will
Becure a liberal entry from all over the State. The directors
are also booming their meeting, such as it was never boomed
before, and are bound to have one of the best meetings on
the circuit.

On Thursday afternoon, the Australian mares, sent over
for Mr. Rose, were shipped by rail to the breeding estab-
lishment of that gentleman in Los Angeles county. The
young colt which was brought over, for another party was
also Bent down, and will be kept there until the arrival of
Captain Tom Merry.

B BeDJamiu, Secretary of the Los Angeles Association,
Bends me a telegram that the railroad officials have made
arrangements to carry horses to the Los Angeles meeting at
the rate of $100 per car load. This is a generous reduction
and will be appreciated by those who wish to ship their stock
to the southern city.

Horsemen intending to enter at Los Angeles are reminded
that nominations for the 2:30 trot for $1,500 and the district
trotiing stakes for 1890 and 1891 close on Monday. Lob
Angeles sets the ball rolling on the grand circuit this year
and it will pay all owners and drivers to carefully read over
the programme and conditions published on another page.

The English Oaks waB won this year by the Duke of Port-
land's Memoir, St. Simon— Qoiver, Chevalier Ginistreli's
SigDorina, St Simon— Star of Portici second, and Mr J. H.
Houldsworth'a Ponsea, Springfield— Napoli, third. Memoir
ran second (Uard held) to her stable companion Semolina in
the One Thousand, while Signorina was last year's crack
two-year-old.

Stamboul closed the year 1889 with two in the 2:30 list*
Vesolia (2 years) 2:29£, and Nehusta 2\30. Already lor the
present year he has added another, the black filly Murtha,
her dam being by Flaxtall. With the large number of Stam-
boul youngsters that are now scattered from the Atlantic to
the 1 acific, there should be many more enter the circle be-
fore the trotting closes for the year.

Last week mention was made of the death of Fontana, and
I stated that death was said to be by colic. That was the
street rumor, and was given as received. Sam Gamble has
sent me a note in which he says that the mare's death was
caused by a large tumor in the pylorus of the stomaob, as
was demonstrated when an autopsy was held. Fontana was
within two weeks of foaling, and had her little .one come
into life, a filly would have been the result.

A peculiar case has justcome to light from the Aptos ranch.
Mr. Adolph Sprecklea reports that last year two youngsters
were turned loose in a paddock, one a filly ten months old,
and the other a horse colt eleven months old. The result is
s own in the fact that the filly has a foal at her side and
she is only a little over twenty one months old. The foal
is a tine one, perfect in all ways, and is a natural trotter.
Who can beat this for extreme yonthfulness in both sire and
dam.

R. B. Cockrill and Eugene Breen of Salmas Valley made a
visit to this office on Thursday morning and reported the
horse interests in their section as being booming. Mr. Cock-
rill has a colt oat of Dairy D, from whom "Bruce" expects
much as the youngster is full of promise. Mr. Breen thinks
well of a yearling that he has by Ironclad, out of a Billy
Walker mare. Both of these youngsters will be heard from
at the Blood Horse Meeting next year

Mr. Ferguson, the clerk of Palo Alto ranch has an adver-
tisement in this issue, calling the attention of horsemen to
hie new stake book, which is placed in the market for the
first time. With the experience that the author has had,
there is no one more competent to conetruct a boot of the
kind and those who purchase will find themselves amply
repaid by the saving in time and convenience: Sample
sheets will fce forwarded on the remittance of a two cent
stamp.

Miller & Sibley of Franklin, Pa , seem determined to cap-
ture all the Electioneer colts that they can get their hands
on. A telegram informs me that they have bought from G.
H. Hopper of Unionville, Ohio, the four year old stallion
Connoisseur by Electioneer, dam Consolation by Dictator
113, 2nd dam Belle{ dam of Mary, the dam of Superior 2:19£,
and Benefactor 2-28), by Alexander's Norman 25, sire of
Lula 2:14£ . The consideration paid was $10,000.

"There is one fact that cannot be obliterated," Bays the
Kentucky Stock Farm. "It is that the trotting bred horse
is to be the future roadster of America. Four minute plugs
are no longer in demand. Men in cities, towns and villages
will be buying more largely every year trotting bred horses
for their buggies, phaetons and barouches. This is encour-
aging to the breeder of trotting horses to the farmer who is
patrunizing trotting stallions, as he will be sure to get more
than double for such produce that he would for ordinary
farm horses."

When Major Du Bois was here during the past winter, he
purchased from C. W. Smith, of this city, the mare Lucy
Abbott by Abbotlsford, and took her back to Denver, where
she made her first appearance at the Overland Park, and won
the three-minute purse in straight heats in 2:29, 2 :28£ and
2.26£. By the way, the following out from a Denver paper
will be full of interest to those who have known the mare for
a year or two: "There were tour starters. The winner, Lucy
Abbott, is owned by the well known Du Bois Bros , who pur-
chased her some time since and relieved her of her duty of
hauling a milk wagon," Pete, how much is milk a quart?

"How will the betting be on that pair in the Suburban?"
asked a well known trainer of another as he watched Salva-
tor and Frienze canter past one morning at Westchester.

"Well, it's hard to say. Tenny is in there and bo is
Raceland, and both of them will go all the journey, but I
think you will see a big change in opinion after that big
chestnut is worked a mile and a quarter for the race, and the
horse that beats him will get all the money."

"Then 1 don't know," responded trainer No. 1. "I like
the mare, and don't you overlook her when you put down
your money."

. W. H. E. Smith of Humboldt CouDty lately started East
with a Btring of thoroughbreds, accompanied by the well
known Frank Dupoyster as trainer. My Chicago correspon-
dent has failed to let me know of any disagreement in the
stable Out the following I clip from the Woodland Democrat
which speaks for itself: "George Lambert has reached a high
position as a trainer. He has been appointed at a salary of
$2,500 per qnnum to take charge of Al Farrow, Long Shot
and Susie S. belonging to W. H. E. Smith, of Humboldt
county. These borees are in Chicago, and George leaves
Woodland Sunday morning for that city. He has been in
Mr. Smith's employ for several years. The horses have al-
ready made a fine record."

The Directors of the Oakland, Napa, San Jose and Peta-
luma Associations will each Bend a representative to the
office of the Breeder and Sportsman on Saturday, (to-day)
to consult together in reference to a programme for the var-
ious meetings. This is a good move, and a step in the right
direction, for it woold be very inconvenient for Mr. Corbett
to trot Hazel Wilkes in the 2:20 class at San Jose on Satur-
day, and then to have her trot in the same class on Moo
dey at Napa. ThiB pergonal allusion is made, as it explains
the situation and is liabla to happen to any horseman.
However, a meetirjg of the representatives will tend to pre-
vent any such a jar, and many other matters can be talked
over that will be to the mutual interests of all concerned,

Breeding trotting stock is a very fasoinating pursuit, so
much so, in fact, that it is attiacting the attention of
Englishmen to this country. Mr. Cox, of London, England,
who lately came to America, intends to embark in the trot-
ting horse breeding business. He also expects to campaign
one or two good trotters through the Grand Circuit..

My old friend, Dr. M. W. Hicks of Sacramento, sends me
a letter in which he complains, "that not one of the Turf
papers of the country have mentioned the faot that Blue
Belle 2:26J (Mila C) waB by Blue Bull, not even so fair a
paper as the Breeder and Sportsman." My dear doctor
one would naturally suppose that every person in the coun-
try knew the paternal ancestor of "Blue Belle"after the ex-
pose that was made when she was ruled off, but you must
feel assured that this paper has always been a friend of the
Blue Bull family and said what was" just and right about
them. However that feeling is only what we have for any
other great family of producers and aa an impartial paper
we try to treat all alike.

Last week mention waB made of a telegram received from
James Goldsmith announcing that Mr. Valensin's Simmo-
colon had won a race at Dundee Park, N. J. The mail brings
information that there were five starters for the $500 purse,
but the chestnut horse proved too speedy for his competitors.
It will be seen from the summary given below that he im-
proved his time in each heat.

Many months ago the Breeder and Sportsman ursed
the necessity of a meeting of representatives from the differ-
ent Fair Associations, m the Northern portion of the State,
to fix dates for the Fairs of 1890, bo that there might be no
clashing between them in reference to the times selected.
Acting on that suggestion a call was made for last Monday,
and the delegates met at Marysville, and the following tele-
gram wsb sent to this office; "The meeting of Chico and
Marysville District Fairs was held here last evening, and it
was decided to organize a great northern racing circuit, em-
bracing these districts. The dates of the races and time for
the fairs are as follows: Willows, iugost 12th to 16th; Bed
Bluff, 19^h to 23rd; Chico, 26th to 30th; Maryeville, Septem-
ber 2d to 6th. Eighteen thousand dollars in purses and
stakes will be offered.

In the June number of Wallace's Monthly just published,
the editor, John H. Wallace, gives the explanation of his
recent robbery. He states the amouDt of the robbery at $18,-
835. The checks were drawn on the funds of the Wallace
Trotting Register Company, and Bigned by Robert L. Wallace,
assistant treasurer, except one tor $2,500, which was signed
by him and raised from $2 to $2,500 and drawn on his
personal account. The balance left in the bank is a little
rising $4,000. With this sum, Mr. Wallace says, to the cred-
it of the Trotting Register Company, he does not despair of
being able to pay the stockholders a dividend of five or six
per cent at the close of the year. Owing to the forged check
for $2,500, his personal account was left with a balance of
$18 and a few cents. Mr. Wallace gives a plausible exx}lana-
tion of why Leslie E. Macleod became a victim of circum-
stances in the affair. In conclusion he says; "There is
plenty of marrow in the old bones yet and plenty of courage
to build anew."

A prominent breeder of "New York once told the writer that
he had no use for pacers, and what was more, he would Dot
breed them; but, when he coupled a trottiog and trotting-
bred daughter of Electioneer with a pure-gailed trotting-bred
son of George Wilkes, the result was a foal that was a natural
paoer, Bays the Horse World. This brings to mind the fact
that Jennie Lind, with a pacing record of 2:17, has given
birth to a foal by Boy Wilkes, paoing record 2:12$, and the
foal 1b a natural trotter. It is a very puzzling problem for
breeders to solve, how it comes, when after couDling pure-
gaited trotting-bred parents, the produce will possess the
pacing gait. Take Pocahontas Boy for an example: A pac-
ing bred horse and the Bire of more pacers than trotters, one
would naturally think that when bred to daughters of the
pacing bred pacer Blue Bull, the produce would surely have
the pacing gait- But a look at Pocahontas Boy's 2:30 list
Bhows that while he has sired many pacers and but four
trotters, three of his trotters are out of daughters of Blue
Bull. Will some one who knows kindly tell why this is?

My correspondent at Franklin, Pa., sends an account of a
great fire that occurred in the training and horse barn of
Miller and Sibley at Prospect Hill near that city ou the after-
noon of Tuesday, Jane 3d. In spite of the most streneous
effor'B of the men, the tire was booh beyond control and when
the fire department arrived from the city the place was a
mass of ruins. In addition to the main buildiDg a lot of
sheds and stalls to the east of it were also consumed. The
main horse barn was 385 feet in length by 160 feet in width,
and was one of the most complete structures of its kind in
the country. In the heart of the barn was a kindergarten
track for colts, and outside of that was a driving track. The
outer portion of the building was used as stalls for tbe horses
in training. The heat was so intense that part of the fence
around the training track was consumed. At the time the
fire broke out the stalls were filled with horses, but owing to
the daring and heroic work of Mr. Stinaon and his associates
not one was lost, The cause of the fire is supposed to be
spontaneous combustion. The building was insured for
about two thirds its value.

The Horse World says: "Many are tbe predictions as to
what the four year olds will do this season and in nearly
every case it is either Sunol or Axtell that is placed at the
head. There are, however, three or four colts of that age
that have a license to trot as faBt as either of those remarkable
colts, aud there are some aBtute judges that will not be sur-
prised if one of the unnamed ones should go a faster mile
this season than either SunM or Axtell.

A couple of great young things that may be seen in the
East this season are Margaret B., 2:19}, and Direct 2:18L
two game young race goerB by a sire of tbe same kind, Di-
rector, 2:17. Director was one of the steadiest rating and
gamee't race goers ever seen on the grand circuit tracks, aud
ft is a significant fact that no sire was ever represented, the
same season, by as good a three year old as Margaret S. and
as good a foor year old as Direct. There is something more
about this pair of young race goers that should set the advo-
cates of non-development in the parents to thinking, and that
is that notonlyare they siredjby a developed and can |
sire but tbe dam of Direot 1b Echora 2:23$, and MtV
is out of May Pay 2:30."

The Tacoma Meeting.

The Secretary of the Morgan Memorial Speeding
Traok has forwarded to this office a programme of the
races for a five days' meeting which it is proposed to
hold on July 1st, 2Dd, 3rd, 4th and 5th. There are
about $6,000 offered in purses, there being altogether
five running events, seven purBes for the trotting brig-
ade, while the pacers have not been neglected aB there
are three purses to be divided among the side wheel di-
vision: The programme is a good one and will un-
doubtedly receive the unqualified support of all horse-
men throughout the northwest.

2:30 Records.

It would Beem that at last the National Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association, which formulates the rules
by which horses may be enrolled in the American Trot-
ting Register, have determined to try and prevent the
oft repeated trials against time and bogus matches by
which horses obtain records, and are classed as "in the
list." At a late meeting action was taken in the matter,
and a set of rules was drawn up by the committee ap
pointed for the purpose, which will be revised, if
deemed necessary, before they are given to the public as
"the law." Of course it must be understood that these
rules only apply to those not already in the charmed
circle, and if once a member of that august body, he can
then be sent against the watch to lower his record. The
rules as given below are not in their entirety, but sum-
marized so that the Directors of the various agricultural
associations may understand what is required to obtain a
record that will be accepted at headquarters.

1. All performances carrying an animal into the 2.30
ist for the first time, must be made at a regular meet-
ng of a reputable association.

2. These performances must be made under the con-
trol of the National Association of Trotting Horse Breed-
ers, or of an association in membership and good stand-
ing with the American Trotting Association or the
National Trotting Association.

3. The meaning of the phrase "regular meeting" is
fully defined, and is used in contradiction from what
might be really a special meeting, called for the single
purpose of giving an animal a record.

4. Under these rules there can be no more bogus
matches, gotten up privately, for all performances must
be made at a regular meeting in order to secure the ben-
efit of a 2:30 performance.

5. Stakes may be opened by any association, as re-
stricted above, for all animals seeking admission to the
2:30 list, to be called the "Standard Stakes" the terms
of entrance to be fixed by the 'Association, but not less
than ten dollars. The entries will be divided into groups
of three and so started. In the race, if the leading horse
trots in 2:30 or better, he takeB his record and goes to the
Btable. If in the next heat the leading horBe trots in
2.30 or better, he also goes to the stable, leaving the
(jhird horse to trot the third heat alone, and this is the
only case, under the system, in which a horse trots alone
and that after he has trotted two heats against others.

6. The one-half of the stakes of the winners in a grouo
or division will go to the horse making the fastest record
in the group, the balance to the Association, and the
stakes of all failures will revert to the Association.

There may be seme amendments or additions to the
above, but not enough to materially alter them.

The Australian Importations.

On last Saturday morning the S. S. Alameda arrived
with the first consignment of horses sent over by Mr. T.
B. Merry for ex-senator L. J. Rose of Los Angeles. It
would be very unfair to give a description of the mares
in their present condition as the hurried manner in which
they were shipped from the antipodes prevented the pre-
paration which they should have received for the long
sea voyage. The animals were sent over in charge of
Mr. Chas. "Wilson who is well known to the racing men
of Australia, as the owner and trainer of Gardenia, the
only mare that ever beat Mentor. Mr. "Wilson informs
us that within a day or two of the shipment the mares
were running loose in the paddocks and had not been
taken up in time to properly fit them for the journey.

The daily papers have all mentioned the arrival of the
stock, but aB usual got them all mixed up, for by the list
published in the Breeder and Sportsman some three
weeks ago, it was anticipated that several others would
be sent, but at the last moment changes were made, the
animals sent being aB follows: Lady Alice, b m, by
Musket out of Erycina by Sledmere and therefore a sister
to Mitrailleuse.

Heater, ch m by Derby son of Kingsborough, this was
a noted mare and carried 142 pounds and ran second
for the Murrimbidgee Handicap; she was a good per-
former and purchased by Mr. Merry on account of the
brackets which stand opposite her name in the racing
register.

Elsie, ch m, by Grand Flaneur out of Daughter of the
Regiment; 2nd dam the dam of Melos which gives her a
double cross of Yattendon, the sire of Chester.

Pheobe Maiks, b m, by Kingsborough out of Lady
Audley, dam of the Secret. This mare was thought
very highly of when in training, but broke down early
in her engagements. She is in foal to Othello, son of
the Barb and is the only one of the mares purchased by
Mr. Merry that will foal to Australian dates.

Keziah, by Darebin out of Lady Fanny, is in foal to
Hastings, winner of the Hawkesbury Handicap; Keziah
has been Btinted to foal according to American time.

Rose of Arizona, formerly called Amber, is by the
Drummer, but in the papers sent the 1st and 2nd dams
were omitted, the 3rd dam, however, is the dam of Me-
los.

San Pedro, br c, by "Waxlight, dam sister to Calamia,
winner of the Melbourne cup.

There was also sent a br f Heiress full sister to Sheet
Anchor, she by St. Albans out of Queen Mary; unfortu-
nately this mare died on the voyage over, leaving only
seven of the eight to arrive here. Mr. Merry has pur-
chased eight others for Mr. Rose which will arrive ron
the next steamer. One of the mares which was originally
intended to be sent in this first consignment was *.he br
m Ricochet, five years old, full Bister to the mare Lady
Alice mentioned above, but she received a severe kick
from one of the horses and it was deemed expedient to
leave her until the second lot was sent.

Another Departure.

It is a fact susceptible of proof that we are all more Ot
less engendered with a feeling of selfishness. Many
times within the past few weeks we have heard horse-
man deploring the fact that Palo Alto sent the pick of
their horses East, and that Hickok had also traveled in
the same direction to try and gain honor with those nn
der his charge. It has been a source of grumbling, be-
cause many have been of the opinion that their absence
would detract from the interest of our local racing cir-
cuit, but there is another side to look at in this question,
and that is this: California for quite a number of years
has been the Mecca to which Eastern horsemen wended
their way for the purpose of picking up fast and endur-
ing trotters. The fame of Electioneer, Stamboul, Guy
Wilkes, Director, Sidney, Piedmont, and many others
has gone broadcast throughout the land, and as a natu-
ral consequence breeders in the East have endeavored to
secure the speedy sons and daughters of these noted sires.
This has been brought about on account of what Califor-
nia bred horses have done on the Eastern tracks, and the
residents of this State must bear in mind that every race
won by a Californian representative in the East is only
adding fresh glory to the Golden State. When the two
stables mentioned above started oh the eastward journey
the Breeder and Sportsman wished them Godspesd,
and now we have to say a few parting words to still an-
other Btable which started on Wednesday morning last.
Mr. Salisbury of the Pleasanton Slock Farm has already
won golden opinions for his noted sire because he cam-
paigned him throughout the Eastern circuit, meeting the
many mighty horses of the day, and beating them all
with his speedy black horse. To show the people of the
East that Director reproduces his marvelous speed in his
progeny, Mr. Salisbury has shipped back for trotting
purposes Direct 2:18^, Margaret S 2:19£, and Katie S,
with no record at all, all of which are the progeny of
Director. There is also in the same car a mare by Stein-
way called Cricket, a pacer who gives every evidence of
being very fast when brought in contact with those of
the literal division. These horses will be campaigned
throughout the East until the first of August, and per-
haps a week or two later, when they will be brought back
to California for the purpose of taking part in the latter
end of the circuit here.

The owner takes back with him the good wishes of a
legion of friends, and we sincerely trust that victory may
perch upon his banner whenever any of his stable start-
Ifhe should prove able to beat many of the cracks
a<^ainst whom, no doubt, he will have to contend, there
will be fresh laurels to add to the already large wreath
of Old Director.

The Northern Circuit.

Attention is called on another page to the Northern
Circuit which has just been completed. A correspondent
at Chico who was present at the meeting of delegates
from the different associations throughout the northern
section informs us that 93900 will be offered in purses at
the WillowB; $3500 at Red Bluff; nearly $6000 at Chico
and $5500 at Marysville. We are glad to see that these
associations are acting together in harmony, the only
regret being that the Directors of Glenbrook Park can-
not stand in with the circuit, for the distance between
there and the Willows is so short that many who would
like to attend both places oan only go to one and thus
one association must lose some of its expected patron-
age.

While the Northern Circuit is being made horsemen
further south will be busy atJSan Jose, Napa, Potaluma
and Oakland, but there are plenty of horses in training
today to insure full entries for both of thesecircuita aud
we do not doubt but what both of them will show up
well as far as entries are concerned. In the course of a
week or two we shall be able to offer our readers a full
programme for each meeting of the northern circuit and
horsemen who desire to make eutries up there can find
entry blanks at this office.

Los Anereles Entries.^
■this is the last opportunity we shall have for calling
the attention of our readers But more particularly the
horse owners throughout the State, to the fact that on
Monday next, the 16th inst., the entries will close for
a purse of $1,500 for the 2:30 class at Los Angeles, and
also close for the District two-year-old trotting stakes for
1890 and 1891. It is unnecessary for us to speak of the
liberal manner in which the Directors of this Associa.
tion have acted towards the horsemen of the State by
ottering large and generous purses. There is no one who
cannot afford to go from the central portion of the State
to ties Angeles to compete for the large purses offered,
and we fully expect to see many an entry from within a
radius of a hundred miles of Sicramento. The Secretary
has used his utmost endeavors to make the forthcoming
meeting a great success and as the principal portion of
'Ms labor consists in trying to get entries for the purses,
we feel assured that he will not be disappointed in the
.work he has done. Read the advertisement in the ap-
propriate column aud make entries for the first meeting
of the circuit.

lone Meeting.

The Directors of the 27th Agricultural District com-
prising Amador and Sacramento Counties will hold their
4th annual fair at lone on August 5th, 6th, 7th and
8th next. With two exceptions the entire programme
consists of running races, there being three or four each
day. Handsome amounts have been added to each of
the stakes, and the races comprise all distances from a
quarter of a mile and repeat up to one and three-eights
miles. There will also be during the meeting two match
trotting races between stallions owned in the district.
The rules of the State Agricultural Society will govern
the races except when th^ conditions named are other-
wise. The entries are due on July 15th, and from the
highly successful meeting that was held at lone last
year, there are good grounds for the belief that another
successful meetiug will be held this year. The track, so
we are told, is in the best of condition, and those who
attend as spectators may rest assured that they will wit-
ness grand contests.

Our Tennessee Letter.

Gallatin, Tens., June 5th.
Editor Breeder axd Sportsman:— By the time this is in
print, the Breeder and Sportsman's many readers will most
probably be able to form some idea anent El Eio Eey's
alleged loss of wind, or a "roarer" aB some may term it. The
Winters' stable of horses left Nashville last Monday for St.
Louis, where El Eio Eey is engaged, as are Bey del Bey end
other horses of the stable.

It has been given out that El Eio Eey will start in the St.
Lonis Derby next Saturday, providing the track is good. As
that race will be an event of past turf history ere this has
reached the printer's case, I will not dwell upon the outcome
and probabilities of that race, but will say that any owner
with a pretty fair sort of a colt should not let El Bio Eey's
presence keep him from starting. True it is that El Eio
Bey did an "easy mile" in 1:44 (?) before they left Nashville,
but a trial mile is not an actual race of a mile and a half, or
the other distances that three-year-olds have to run in the
stake races now.

Eey del Eey, without an exception, is the grandest looting
horse that ever wore plates, and Courtney has him in the
pink of oondition. Before leaving Tennessee for St. Louis,
he did a trial three-quarters fast enough to assure all con-
nected with him that he can out-ruo any youngster that
has appeared this season, and when he makes his bow to the
public, it will only be a repetition of his elder brother's per-
formance last year, when he won every race in which he
started.

Don Jose, of the Winter's string, has an ailing limb, and
with the possible exception of El Eio Eey being effected,
their is not another unsound horse in the string. Average
and Joe Courtney will beat more horses than will beat them.
Outside the departure of the Winters horses, there has
been no happenings of more than passing importance among
the runners. Among the trotters and sidewheelers the same
can not be said for from Ewell Farm oomes the news of a
gait never known to have been accomplished before. Some
how or other it sounds like a big Tennessee story with a
Mulhattan flavor, but in this fast age we must not look upon
anything as an impossibility. I have just received a note
from reliable sources at Ewell Farm, which bears the sensa-
tional news that Brown Hal 2:12J had that day paced a quar-
ter in 28 seoonda, a 1;52 gait. This can hardly be true,
yet under the existing ciroumstanceB I must believe that it
is. It is one o' the moBt remarkable feats ever accomplished
by a trotter or pacer. Brown Hal is a full brother to Little
Brown Jug 2;11^, and is himself the sire of Prince Hal. that
obtained a mark last season of 2:16|. Brown Hal has never
met defeat upon the race course, and his record of 2;12£ he
made last season in the third heat uf a winning race, after
Roy Wilkes had paced the seoond heat in 2:13. Consider-
ing that he has just made a heavy sf a9on in the stud the per-
formance is the more remarkable. Ed Geers will go down the
Grand Circuit with him, audit is expeoted of him to eclipse
Johnston's record.

Come over the Bockies, California, with your AdoulP,
Roy Wilkes and others of that ilk, and Tennessee will try to
make it interesting for you with Brown Hal 2:12}, and Hal
Pointer 2:13.

Huntress had quite an easy time winning the three Jaok-
pot races at Lexington, Louisville and Lalonia, The result

of the race this year was hardly what the management of the
three Kentuoky clubs expected, and I would not be surprised
at seeing this race dropped ont of the entry books next fall

Since coming Eaat. Fairy ahd Rico of the Rose string have
both started, but neither have earned brackets. Fairy started
in the Great American Stakes at Brooklyn, and while she did
not win, Bhe ran a very creditable race, finishing in fourth
place, with several crack two year olds strung out behind
her. Rico is in the Suburban at a light impost, and after he
fully recovers from his long trip across the continent he may
be able to show something like Suburban form.

Fide's victory in the Toboggan Slide Handicap has made
her price in the Subnrban move downward several points
There is qoite a difference in six furlongs and a mile and a
quarter, and I am inolined to think the Belriiont filly much
better suited at the former distance. She completely smashed
the record in her race for the big Westchester event, and,
with her smart tnrn of speed, she mav be a dangerods mare
in the Suburban.

By the way; This seems to remind me how fast the 3-year
old nlly English Lady has loomed up as a formidable sub-
urban candidate. A few weeks ago I spoke of her as not
being "suggestive of a Surburan winner? but in this one par-
ticular I have changed my opinion considerably. She is
shoes to plates, the best three year old in the West, not
barring Eobespeirre, Eiley or Bill Letoher, the three Derby
winners. Her four oonsecutive victories at Lexington, Louis-
ville and Latonia have been the cause of her being backed
from 100 to 1, down to 15 to 1 in The Surburbau. Her
Latonia Oaks one and a quarter miles, 113 pounds np in
2:08$ is the best race run in the West this season, and in
point of time, is equal to 2:07 over the Sheephead Bay
Course. She only carries 94 pou da in the Surburbau, and
if Bhe does not go amiss before Suburban day, her stable
companion Proctor Knott, will remain in his stable while
The Lady wins Sheepsheads Bay's big race. She is my
choice, and if she wins that race, the hottest air-tight cinch
ever seen upon an Eistern race course, is going to be un-
corked.

Since writing the above I learn, reliably, some sensational
news regarding the Winter's Stable, which is to this effect ;
Three days before the California horses were shipped from
Nashville to St. Louis, B. J. Johnson.trainer for the Chicago
Stable laBt season, was in Nashville, and most of the time
had business lat West Side Park. Whenever the Winter's
horses were at work, Johnson was upon the track, watch in
hand, noting every movement of the California craoks. Fi-
nally he approaohed Mr. Winters, asking him to put a price
npon his entire stable. Mr. Winters told him that El Bio
Bey he would not sell, and that the mare Florence A , he
would leave at Belle Meade to be bred to Imp. Great Tom,
but that he would sell Bey del Bey, Don Juan, Don Jose'
Judge Post, Average, LorettB. Blizzard, Atelia, Joe Court-
ney and the other horses of the stable for $55,000. Johnson
then asked Mr. Winters if he would take $45,000 and give
him three dayB' option upon the horses, Mr. Winters re-
sponded "I will not give you three minutes. I will sell now,
but in three minutes I might not. Give me $55,000 cash and
I will turn my stable of horses over to you." Johnson re-
plied that he was not prepared to do so, immediately, but
would like to talk to him at the end of the time he asked for.
Johnson is now in Louisville, and is supposed to be trying
to arrange for the purchase of the horses.

In the Winter Stable is a colt— Eey del Eey— that is worth
all of what Johnston offered for the entire string. Before
leaving Nashville, as stated above, he showed the fastest six
furlongs ever rnn over that traok, and there are several
Nashville turfmen who will bet dollars to apples that Eey del
Bey can simply loose Russell, the crank colt of the East, at
any distance. As a prominent Nashville horseman told me
to-day, "There are some two-year-olds in the Winters Stable
that have shown better work here than have any three-year-
olds." The colts alluded to are Don Juano, Bey del Bey and
Judge Post, a trio of youngsters that will show their heels to
the cracker jacks of the aristocratic Belmont, Dwyer, Morris
and Withers Stables when they are taken Eisr.

People who are in a position to know, say that El Eio Eey
is effected with something like catarrh, and the peculiar
noise made by him when at work is from this, and not oaused
by being broken-winded. As this is a peculiar disease among
horses it is not known to what extent it effects the horse.

A Correction-

Two weeks ago we published an excellent article on Navic-
ular disease from the pen of Dr. A. E Bozard, and it has
been extensively copied throughout the United States. The
author calls attention to a couple of mistakes which occurred
in it as printed, tbe proof reaier having slighted the "copy."
In the sentence, "Tbe disea=e is progressive, caries of the
bone takes place, the tendon playing over it becomes in-
volved, and in extreme cases upturned." The word in italics
should read ruptured, to make it read correct. Under tbe
headings of symptoms, "the peculiar joint" should read the
peculiar gait.

Glanders in Horses.

■Written foe the Bbeedeb and Spobtsma

As this disease is becoming very prevalent in this State. I
consider that a short article on the disease may be of some
utility to the readers of the Breeder and Sfoetsmax in as-
sisting them to detect the disease, and also to prevent the
spreading of the same.

The causes of this disease are various, but the majority of
cases doubtless arise from contagioD, that is, coming in actu-
al cod tact with a diseased animal, or by initialing the same
atmosphere, drinking out of the same bucket, or even cases
have been known from wearing the same harness.

It is frequently generated by horses in a low, emaciated
condition, being kept in some dark, unventilated and un«
drained stable, and being allowed to remain for days, or
perhaps weeks, on the manure which has accumulated be-
hind them, End then being obliged to continually breathe
the vitiated atmosphere, whioh will necessarily be generated
in such cases.

The symptoms of this loathsome disease are frequently
very deceptive; many a horse has been destroyed for gland-
ers when the disease did not exist, it being confounded with
nasal gleet. To an experienced person such a mistake Bhould
not be made, as the symptoms between the two affections,
although alike, differ materially, on a close and minute ex-
amination. In a case of glanders tbe discharge from the nos-
trils is scanty, yellowish in color and frequently streaked
with blood, and is very glutinous in character, having a ten-
dency to adhere to the edge of tbe nostrils. The lining mu-
cous membrane of the nostrils, will, in the majority of cases,
be of a leaden hue, and on careful examination, a few ulcers
will be found on its surface, these ulcers presenting a very
distinct and characteristic appearance. The glaods between
the lower jiW will be found somewhat enlarged, hard and in-
durated, and adherent to the bone. Tbe animal will have a
cough but not of a very distressing nature, and tbe general
appearance will indicate that the animal is not in perfect
health, although I have seen oases where the horses looked
the picture of health. Now in ozena or nasal gleet the dis-
charge from tbe nostrils in the majority of cases will be copi-
ous and come away in big white olots, the membrane may
not present quite a natnral color, the glands will be enlarged
but will be soft, and do not adhere to the jaw. In a few cases
there may be a soft c u-h, but the general appearance of the
horse will be healthy.

In cases where a horse is foand to be glandered, it should
be immediately detroyed, and if there be any other horses
in tbe same stable they should be strictly examined, and not
allowed to come in contact with any other horses, should not
be allowed to drink ont of any bucket or trough, which may
be used to water other horses. Tbe stable should be thor-
oughly fumigated and whitewashed as a preventative. In
some cases in London, which came nnder my notice, tbe
entire stable was pulled down and rebuilt with new material.
The harness used by the diseased horse or borses, should be
Bcalded with boiling water, aud often thoroughly scrubbed
with hot water, soap and carbolic acid. In fact, in a bad
oase, it is advisable to dtslroy the harness and tbe Blnble
equipment which has been in use for, or on the diseased ani-
mals.

The remainder of the horses should be examined frequent-
ly, aod on tbe slightest Bymptoms tbe animals should be
destroyed and tbe proper authorities notified.

In few cases, as far as I can ascertain, tbe health authori-
ties never receive any notification when any animal has been
destroyed with glanders. In England it is a criminal
offence to possess, knowioply, a horse with glanders, aod
panishable by fine or imprisonment. St.. b an arrangement
in tbis State, more especially wben this diseape is on tbe
increase, would be benetic al to horse owners and the public
generally.

It would also be advisable to appoint one or more qualified
veterinary surgeons as inspectors, and give them unlimited

power, as to entrance to stables and inspection of such stock
as they should think fit. There are at present numerous
stables in this city which are untitfor occupation, and should
the disease get a hold in such places, it will be a most diffi-
cult task to eradioate it, much less prevent the spread of the
affection .

One word about public water-troughs. In London at one
time, they were considered a blessing and a boon to horses,
and their owners, but after a time they proved to be a damn-
ably cause. The reason of this was that glandered horses
were worked in late night cabs, arid the animals were watered
at these troughs, the discharge dropped from the nostrils inio
the water, and the consequence was, that some sound horse
was allowed to drink at the same place later on, and in all
probability swallowed the discharge, and in a few days the
animal would present symptoms of glanders, and then came
the question: "Where did the horse get it from?" From
numerous experiments on horses made by the Royal Veteri-
nary College in 1874-75, it was proved beyond doubt that
glanderous discharge, given to a sound horse, would generate
glanders in a short time.

T would advise all horse-owners working horses in this
city, or even in the oountry, to carry a bucket with tbern
and draw the necessary water themselves, and not allow their
animals to partake of water at any of the numerous public
horse troughs.

Our Terre Haute Letter.

Terre Haute at the present writing is one of the busiest
towns in the United States when looked at from the trotting
horseman's point of view. There are congregated here at
present a large majority of the best known horses in the
country, and on Monday when I arrived it seemed as though
there were representatives here from all the principal breed-
ing farms in the United States. Special trams were run from
a great many points, and advantage was taken of low rates
by those who are lovers of the light harness horse.

On Monday evening I called in at the pool rooms to see
wnat sort of betting the Eastern people indulged in, and
much to my astonishment, as I entered the door, I heard the
auctioneer saying, "How much am I offered for first choice?"
Yoa can conoeive my astonishment when I heard it knocked
down for $7, the second choice sold for $5, and the third for
$3. 1 had always labored under the impression that betting
in the Eastern StateB on trotting races was far and away
above anything that Californians indulged in, but this sam-
ple of what I saw for the 2:23 purse was so small and insig-
nificant in comparison with what can be seen at Oakland,
Napa, Petalumaor Fresno that I am impressed with the be-
lief that Sam Whitehead and his corps of men can do better
at the small meeting) in your State than they could do if
here.

I can readily understand that the doings of the Golden
State horses is what will more directly interest jour readers,
and therefore will not devote much space to the races in
■which only Eastern horses were engaged. On the opening
day, Tuesday, June 3rd, there was a very fair attendance,
considering the attractions, and yet it is safe to assert that of
the 4,000 people who were in attendance nine-tenths of them
paid their admission fee on purpose to witness the matchless
Sunol. The day was a beantiful one, and if made to order
could not have been surpassed, a day in which one finds re-
lief from the cares of business and the multitude of small
annoyances which are bound to compass any one engaged in
pursuits of any sort, and it is probable that the fine weather
had as much to do with the large attendance as the very or-
dinary racing which ensued. Since the arrival of the Palo
Alto string here hundreds, and probably thousands, have at-
tended the race track, and many had become more or lees fa-
miliar with the appearance of Sunol and the face of Charlie
Marvin; at any rate, wheD he appeared upon the track with
his little bay beauty, they were received with a great deal of
oheeriog and clapping of hands; in answer to the reception
(he Palo Alto reinsman doffed his cap and started down the
reverse way of the track, jogging slowly. When a short dis-
tance past the three quarter pole Sunol was turned around,
and from that point home was gi?en what Budd Doble de-
clared to be a ''little exercise." It was really marvelous to
see the game filly covering the ground at a 2:13 gait, the
quarter being completed in 33J secondB, and yf t those who
8aw her on your California circuit last year knew she was not
being extended even a little bit. I like her much better than
I did last year, and that is saving a great deal, and I am in-
clined to the belief that what Li. Either said to me at the
Bay District Track on the dav when she made her record is
true: "That mare can beat Maud S's time whenever she is
started for it."

Fred Author, the pacer, had a record of 2:15t and that
made on a half mile track. I said "had" because before I
finish my letter I will show you how he has lowered it.
However, the fast son of Belmont was then brought out for
exhibition and Mr. Grimes, his driver, was also as cordially
received as Marvin. The three races which followed
resulted in Nutmeg, a son of Nutwood, winning the 2:23 trot,
the fastest time maie being 2:22f which goes to the credit of
Frank B., a br g, by Bog oak who won the first heat in that
time, the winner's beBt time being 2:26. In the 2:32 trot
which followed, Kitie B.. owned by L. A. Davies, owner of
Roy Wilkes sold favorite over the field, but notwithstanding
a strong and vigorous support from the betting men she
only won the first heat gaining a record of 2:28£, Joe East-
man winning the next tbree and gaining a reord of 2:29A.
The last race of the day was for the 2:50 class, in which there
were four starters, Called Back winning in three straight
heats, the best time bping 2:36^.

OoWednesday the 2:28 trot broughtout Twist, a roam filly
by Jay Bird; Cubic, a b g, by Electioneer, and Cmstantioe,
the Egbert youngster, which was sold for an cb a long price
last year. Twist sold for $10 and the field $10; the roan
had things all her own way in three straight heatB, and was
never troubled in the least by either of her two competitiors,
winning as she pleased in 2:26$, 2:26$ and 2:27. The papers
on the following day Raw fit to Htate that this was the battle
royal between Kentooky and California, to sustain their pet
theories of breeding the trotters. Such consumnate non-
senBe ooold only emanate from Boribblers who do not know

what they are writing about. One of the papers had the fol-
lowing:

"The Palo Alto theory that for speed and endurance at the
Irot, the thoroughbred cross must be close up. was main-
tained by Cubic, son of Electioneer, dam Cuba bv imported
Australian. The roan descendant from the loins of the
mighty Wilkes had the best of the argument, and to-night
the scalp of Sibley is hung in the Simmon's wigwam."

The 2:35 pacer had four starters and it proved an eaey
victory for Catherine, a descendant of Dictator, the best time
made being 2:32^. During the day Budd Doble appeared be-
hind Jack 2:15, and Harry Starr who is Doble's right hand
man, also exhibited Houri 2:17. Johnnie Dickerson also
speeded the two-year-old Faustino, who as every one knows
has the yearling stallion reoord of the world.

Friday morning opened up bright and auspiciously, the
city being crowded to its utmost capacity, for in addition to
the attractions of the race track, Barnum's monster circus al-
so put in an appearance. However, my business called me
to the stables with no time to spare for the circus. When
the bell was rung it must be confessed, that things looked
rather home like for there sat Orrin Hickok in the timers'
Btand as large as life and twice as natural. Johnston 2;06J
was given a Blow mile by George Starr and Palo Alto was
driven by Mr. Marvin a slow half. The great feat of the
day was the exhibition of the pole team Reina and Betsy
Brown driven by Doble who started to beat the half mile rec-
ord of 1:08J. and it must be confessed that the feat was easily
performed, Doble Bending them a merry clip and completing
the distance in 1.071-, the first quarter being consummated in
32£ seconds. Truly it is wonderful time and Mr. Doble pro-
poses when they are both just right to send them against the
double team mile record of the world. The first race of the
day was for the 2:40 trotters which was easily won by Hus-
sar, a brown colt by Jersey Wilkes, three straight heats fall-
ing to him the fastest mile being 2;26£. The sport of the
day finished up with the Free-for-all pacing race, the entries
to which were Fred Arthur, Gray Harry and Bessemer. Fred
Arthur was the favorite in the pool box bringing $10 to $8
for the field. In the first heat he beat Bessemer by a head
only in the really good time for this season of the year, of
2:14}; he easily took the second and third heat?. Grey Harry
being his runner up in 2:17^ and 2:20J. It conld easily be
seen that Bessemer was not in condition for a hard race, but
as he is of the improving sort you will hctar from him later
on.

The fourth and last day of the meeting was characterized
by having the largest attendance of any proceding day. It
seems almost requisite to require, a stretch of the imagina-
tion (o oonceiye that the following horses were all on the
track at one and the same time: Sunol, 2:1 0.1,; Axtell, 2:12;
Palo Alto, 2:12J; Houri, 2;17; Johnston, 2:06$; Hoy Wilkes,
2:12J and Adonis, 2:14; such an exhibition of noted horses
has never been seen at one time before on any track in the
world. Mr: Marvin made himself a great favorite by speed-
ing Sunol a quarter in 32£ seconds a 2:09 gait; Johnston,
the pacer was Bent three heats in 2:27, 2:23 ami 2:20, the last
quarter of one of the miles being completed in 31£ seconds;
the other cracks were only shown to bridle with the excep-
tion of Adonis whom Hickok sent a very slow mile: The
2:23 pacing race proved a strong incentive for the betting
fraternity who piled in their money quite liberally on Frank,
he selling for $10 while the field brought $3, it proved quite
an exciting raoe as Frank won the first heat, Findley the
2nd, Frank the 3rd, Findley taking the 4th and 5th; Frank's
best time was 2:26}, Findley's best time, 2;24J'.

The sport of the day waB brought to a conclusion by the race
for the 2:19 class of trotters but only two starters appeared,
Almont and the old favorite Kit Curry; Almont won as he
pleased in straight heats, the fastest time being 2:203:

Horse's Sense of Smell-

The horse will leave musty hay untouched in his bin, how-
ever hungry. He will not drink of water objectionable to
his questioning sniff, or from a bucket which some odor
makes objectionable, however thirsty. His intelligent nos-
tril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit
offered by the fairest of hands with coaxings that would
make a mortal shnt his eyes and swallow a nauseous mouth-
ful at a gulp. - -

A mare is never satisfied by either Bight or whinny that her
colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal certificate
of the fact. -A blind horse now living will not allow the ap-
proach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not
safely to be disregarded. The distinction is evidently made
by his sense of smell, and at a considerable distance. Blind
horses as a rule will gallop wildly around a pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The sense informs them of
its proximity. Others will, when loosed from the stables go
directly to the gate or bars opened to their accustomed feed-
ing grounds, and when desiring to return, after hours of
careless wandering, will distinguish one outlet and patiently
await its opening. The odor of that particular part of the
fence is their pilot to it.

The horse in browsing, or while gathering herbage with his
lips, is guided in its choice of proper food entirely by its nos-
trils. Blind horses do not make mistakes in their diet. In
the temple of Olympus a bronze horse was exhibited at the
sight of which six real horses exhibited the most violent
emotions. Aelian judiciously observes that the most perfect
art could not imitate nature sufficiently well to produce so
strong an illusion. The scent alone of a buffalo robe will
cause many horses to evince lively terror, and the floating
scent of a railroad train will frighten some long after the lo-
comotive is out of sight and hearing.

Breeding Fillies-

There is quite a difference of opinion among breeders as to
the proper time to commence breeding fillies

We have had considerable experience during the past fif-
teen years in breeding mares, having bred a large number
during that time, both for ourselves and those who patron-
ized the stallions we kept for public service.

We have always advocated breeding the fillies at two years
old, if it is the intention to breed them at all, as it is our
opinion they will foal their first colt when three years old
with less danger to themselves than when four or five years
old, for the following reasons- the mare not being so fully
matured as at four or five years old her bones and muscles are
not so firmly knit, hence will give more readily, aldo the foal
of the three-year old mare will generally be smaller at birth,
thereby lessening the danger of the mare having trouble.

We have never known a three-year old mare to have trouble
in foaling, although we have known of quite a number of
fine mares being loBt by not being able to foal their first colt
when five to seven years old.

Two-year old fillies Bhould not be bred too early in the
season; it would be better to have them foaled in July than
before ^rass comes in the spring, m they will do far better

if they can have a run on._gra.BS for a month or more before
foaling.

We believe that mareB that have their first coltB at three
years make better and more regular breedera, and in our
opinion, the breeder who allows a good two-year old filly to
run over without being stinted to a well-fcred, matured stal-
lion is losing valuable time.

We say breed the fillies to matured stallions, for in breed-
ing horses, as with all other kinds of Btock, if young imma-
ture females are bred to young immature male6, the stock
will rapidly degenerate into mere sera bs.— National Horse

California Kennel Club.

The California Kennel Club held its regular monthly meet-
ing on Wednesday last, at the office of J. B. Lewis, corner of
Montgomery and Sacramento streets. Those present were
Mr. Lewis, A. E. Post, Thomas Higgs, J. B. Martin, A. B.
Truman and two others.

Thomas F. Casey ann Jeremiah Noonanwere elected mem-
bers.

A communication was received from A. P. Vredenburgh,
{Secretary of the American Kennel Club, notifying the Cali-
fornia Club that it bad been elected to membership.

Max Wenzal of Hoboken, New Jersey, a prominent member
of the Irish Setter Club, waB unanimously elected a delegate
to the Amerioan Club to repre3ent the California Kennel
Club.

A. E. Post was elected a member of the Executive Com-
mittee of the California Kennel Club.

A.B.Truman, Thomas Higgs and J. B. Martin were
elected a committee to consider the advisability of giving a
bench Bhow in the near future. It is likely that the show
will be held.

Some discussion occurred on the proposition to bar Mr.
Truman's dogs from competition, bnt the owner stated that
they wonld be entered in the challenge class, and would
therefore not interfere with the entries in other classes.

Interstate Coursing.

The movement towards giving a great coursing meeting at
Merced in the Fall, and hanging up purses so great as to
make it worth while for some of the Eastern and English
dogs to compete, is likely to be successful. A large and
enthusiastic meeting of courBiog men was held at 539 Cali-
fornia street, city, on Wednesday evening last.

The following were elected permanent officers of the asso-
ciation: President, Djminick Shannon; vice-president,
Henry Wormington; treasurer, J. C. Nealon; Secretary, J.
E.Dickson.

The following committees were appointed to collect sub-
scriptions for the necessary purse required by the Eastern
sportsmen who intend to compete in the interstate match:

San Francisco— William Stout, John Grace, James Doug-
las, Matthew Nunan, John Hammill.

Redwood City-- P. Foley and J. Hand.

Petalnma — D. J. Heily and Patrick Can-oil.

Oakland— P. Galligher and P. Miller.

Newark — John Dugan.

San Jose— William McCurmick. A. Tracey, T. Cooney.

Santa Clara— Dr. Wadams, Mr. Corliss, Mr. Portal.

Eockland— Edward O'Connell.

Sacramento— William Hanrahan, Thomas Waite and
Patriok Kenny.

Bloomfield— P. Carroll.

Los Angeles — Walter Moore, Thomas Kice.

San Qaentin— W. D. Bsrry.

The President was authorized to appoint any one else
whom he may deem worthy.

The president announced that the association had received
a guaranty of $500 from Merced. About $3000 will be
sufficient to insure the match, and that amount is already
assured,

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 25th

there is in fact any suoh institution in existence nor can we
deny the existence of the club, if anybody acquainted states
that it is in operation. A Kennel Club amounts to nothing
anyhow except at about the time when a Bhow is to be given.
Then the mossbacks swarm abont, jabber and bustle as
though they had been in it all the time. One thing is sure,
viz: that no show in San Francisco can be made to clear its
way whioh is not oonducted more economically than those
given by the Paoific Club. If the admission of the Califor-
nia Kennel Club to the A. K. C. operates to make the Paoifio
Club more careful it would be a good thing. At all events it
is nonsensical to think of taking the Pacific Club out of the
A. K. C, because if the former ever desires to give a show it
muBt necessarily apply for re-admission. A little time
would temper the acerbity of those who are now cross firing
in relation to the clubs.

The Kennel Club Muddle.

' The action of the American K°nnel Club in admitting the
California Club to membership is being harshly criticized by
some members of the Pacific Kennel Club; those who object
to its admission insist that it is not a club except in name,
that it has no bona fide membership nor any officers who
are performing or have performed any services in connection
with it for four years last past. The discontented ones per-
sist in saying that the animus of the California Kennel Club
is to subvert the purposes of the Paoific Kennel Club; to be-
little what has been done by members of that Club and gen-
. orally to harrass and hamper rather than to move on in good
•,faith for the interest of dogs and their owners. It is urged
(that after such representations as to the extent of the Ken.
Bel field in San Francisco as were made to the Amerioan
Kennel Club, it was unwise and unfair to the Paoific Kenntl
Club to admit a competing organization even though that
organization existed only nominally. It is proposed by
some of the more qaick tempered members of the P. K. C. to
withdraw that club from the A. K. 0., but it is not probable
that such action will be taken. We hope that the utmost
circumspection will govern all proceedings in this matter. It
is worse than folly for any single Club to presume to dictate
to the general Kennel organization of America. Any at-
tempt to override the action of the general body can only re-
sult in disaster to the olub which makes the effort. That
mistakes may have been made by the A. K. C. is likely bnt it
| is a poor remedy for errors in the working of a grand institu.
I tion suoh ae the A; K. C. to demolish the body or to weaken
' it by lessening its membership. We are not prepared to say
that the California Kennel Club has any members or that

Muzzling Greyhounds at Coursing Meetings.

In your valuable journal of May 23 we notice a comment
on muzzling greyhounds at inclosed meetings, and to entire-
ly set aside any and all questions in regard to tbis subject
will fully explain the modus operandi of the mnzz'ing pro-
cess. The muzzling is done, of course, to protect the rabbit
from being killed, and this is done, not for the sake of
economy, out to do away with the least shadow of objection
to ooursing on the soore of cruelty. The universal sentiment
of those who saw the trials at Hutchinson last Fall with the
greyhounds without muzzles was in favor of muzzling; and
when the second stake was opened the association decided to
use the muzzles on every occasion where the running was on
inclosed grounds.

The muzzles used are of very light steel "wire and are ca-
paoions enough so that the dog can have perfect freedom in
the use of his j iws. He can open his mouth to the fullest
extent desired.

After each course an attendant secures the dogs at once
and the muzzles are taken from them. The straps around
the neck are not tight, and in reality the dog is not in any
sense distressed or even annoyed by the muzzles; every
owner of the greyhounds that competed at the meeting will
tell you that there was no appreciable difference in the run-
ning of the dc gs with the muzzles on, and should those with
whom you have conversed witness a course they would be
thoroughly convinced of muzzling the dogs.

The muzzle is a sort of basket work covering the nose to
the eyes, with three long wires reaohina to the neck back of
the ears, through he ends of which the strap is fastened,
and while it does not prevent his breathing in full, he is un-
able to close his jaws on the hare. We have now run four
meetings with the dogs muzzled and in no one case has a
dog suffered in the least and it hai proved so universally
successful that it will be understood that under no circum-
stauces will a course be run on incl >sed grounds without the
dogs are muzzled.

When the subject of coursing was broached to the officers
of the Humane Snciety at St. Louis and an explanation was

knowing that you could not course to rule with muzzled
dogs, because so many points were prevented by their ina-
bility to use their jaws freely. Why not make a stand against
the mawkish sentimentality which would hamper and prac-
tically destroy one of the grandest of sports! What thor-

masks and heavy collars? Ed.]

Occidental Coursing Club.

The Occidental Club held its regular monthly meeting on
Tuesday evening last, at 21 Kearney St., city. Those pres-
ent were Messrs. Gregory. O'Keeffe, Abbott, W. S. Kittle,
Dickson, Wormington, Boyd, Nolan and Carroll. Treasurer
Abbot reported $48.35 in the treasury. It was suggested by
Mr. Abbot that a trophy be added to the regular coin prizes
at the Thanksgiving Day mating of the olub, and the sug-
gestion met general approval, some $40, jbeing subscribed
on the spot. The olub then went into executive Bession,

Mr. B. E Culbreth has lost his fineSt. Bernard Eex. The
dog was poisoned on June 9.h by some miscreant. Eex stood
32 inches at the shoulder and in condition weighed 210

Mr. W. J. Golcher has become the owner of that very
handsome white and liver pointer bitoh Jessie Banger

relationship between the dogs. This later importation is
like that famous Old Black Joe. a dog of unknown breeding.

Kennel matters are quiet although the dog days are near
at hand. About the only aotivity noticeable is at the train-
ing grounds of Mr. M. D. Walter near Gait, and of Mr.
Allender near Watsonville. At these places tine strings of
voung pointers and setters are being handled in preparation
for next January's Trials at BakersSeld. Those who did not
send full particulars when sending their Derby entries
should do so at once. There is a reason for insisting upon
this which will be readily understood by all dog men.

The attention of such of our readers as are interested iD
ooursing is called to the effort being made to give a monster
coursing meeting during the coming fall. The citizens nf
Merced have subscribed $500 toward such an event and other
subscriptions are being freely offered. A little vigorous action
will insure stake money amounting to several thousands of
dollars and will bring to the State the crack dogs of America
and probably some from abroad. Those who care to do so
may send their subscriptions to the Breeder andSportsman.

New Game Birds.

There is something of interest to sportsmen in the re-
port jast received at the State Department by Minister Thom-
as, at Stockholm. The minister proposes to introduce into
tbis country the capercailzie and the black game. These are
tbe two most important birds of Sweden and Norway. In
the fall and tbe winter tbey are to be seen hangiDg on bran-
ches at tbe market places of Stockholm.

The capercailzie is the largest and noblest member of the
grouse family. The full grown male weighs fiom ten to
twelve pounds. He is an extremely hardy bird. In Sweden
and Norway he is found in large numbers up to and beyond
the arotic circle, as far as the 70th parallel of north latitude.
Be can endure the severest cold and deepest snows of the
longest winters. He often avoids the bitterest cold by bur-
rowing into tbe snow, thus obtaining warmth and shelter.

Tbis bird subsists upon tbe coarsest and commonest food.
He feeds upon the buds and leaveB of trees, the needles of
leaves of the pine and spruce, young pine cones, clover and
grass, berries of all sorts, Beeds and grain, and insects of
every kind. In the depth of winter a capercailzie has been
known to live for more than a week in the Bame pine trees,
subsisting entirely upon pine leaves and young pine cones.

The capercailzie is pre-eminently a bird of the pine woodB,
or pine mixed 'With birch, spruce, maple and other growths.
He loves wooded hillsides better than wooded plains, and he
must have fresh water near by — either a brook or pond or
piece of swampy ground.

He is a local, not a migratory bird, though sometimes lack
of food or other causes may drive him to extensive wander-
ings. In his habits be much resembles the American ruf-
fed grouse — though in size he is nearly ten times as large.

Tne black game inhabits nearly the same kind of region aa
the capercailzie. He is equally hardy and can withstand
the cold and snows of the most rigorous northern winters.
His weight is aboat three pounds — about the Bame as our
prairie chicfeen. Tbe male bird U a lustrous, metallic black
in color; bence the name. He has, however, a white strip in
bis wiugn, and his jet black, outward-curving tail feathers
are mucb prized as a hat ornament in tbe Tyrol.

Tbe black game is also a grouse, iiod he is often found in
company with the capercailzie, or at least in close proximity.
The black game is also a bird of the woods, but the birch is
pre-eminently bis tree, though he is met with in mixed
growths of almoBt every variety. He does not frequent the
deep woods as the capercailzie; he loves better the borders of
the forests and woods and groves with frequent openings.
He is alr-o fond of cranberry swamps, and in swampy lands is
often found miles away from any forest.

His food is mucb the same as tbe oapercailzie, though not
quite so coarse. It consists chiefly of the bods and leaves of
trees, berries and ioBects. In summer the black garre is very
fond of blueberries, raspberries and cranberries; in winter he
feeds principally upon the buds of the birch, bazel, alder
willow and beech, and when pressed for food will eat the
young green cones of the pine. This bird seems to be equal-
ly fond of animal food, and readily eats snaila, worms, the
larvae, of ants, flies, beetles, etc.

He is a more sooial bird than the capercailzie, and comee
out more into the fields and cleirioga, and nearer the abodes
of man.

"Hundreds of times," Minister Thomas writes, "when
traveling through the foreets of Scandinavia, I could scarcely
resist tbe con~viotion that I must be back again in the woods
of New England. Here in Sweden are the same bill sidea
and mountains, tbe same swift, clear brooks foaming in their
rocky beds, and the some forest trees — the pine and spruce,
the birch, maple and beech, and oak and ash. Here are tbe
same wild berries too, and in Sweden you may pick wild
strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, jast
as with us in America,

Then take the two grandest and most useful of the wild
animals of Scandinavia. Tbe reindeer, of the fields is al-
most identical with our own caribou, and the most expert
naturalists have been unable to distinguish any substantial
difference between the Swedish elk and the moose of Amer-
ica. The fact is that a great portion of the United States —
at least one third/ perhaps one-half— is Mtted to be the home
of the oapercailzie and the black game, for there is a suit-
able climate, a suitable broken oountry of bill and dale, well
watered and covered with a suitable forest growth, and this
forest growth together with its underbrush and bashes, will
not only provide shelter for these birdB, but will furnish them
with all the food they reqnire until they become aa pleaty
as European sparrows now are in oar streets and public
parks. It is my firm conviction that these valuable birds
will thrive throughout all tbe wooded di triets of New Eng-
land, New York and Pennsylvania, and westward through
the greater portion of the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. They w 11 also find a congenial home along tbe
wooded slopes of the R cky Mountains for their entire length
as well as in all the wooded ravines and declivities of the
mountain ranges of California, Oregon and Washington,

The fact that these birds are found among the hills and
mountains ot Europe as f »r south as Greece, Italy and Spain
renders it almost oertain that they will find a congenial clim-
ate and nature throughout the entire ranges of the Alleg-
hanies, the Blue Ridge and the Cumberland mountain*, to-
gether with their spuis, side tiills and outlying forest districts
and may tbns be easily acclimated over large sections of the
states of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Cirolioa, South Carolina, Osorgia and Alabama. And
beside the diBtriots above enumerated, there are doubtless
many other portions of tbe United States well fitted to be
the home of these magnific&ntgime birds.

The mioiBter explains that it will not be worth while to at-
tempt to try the transportatian of tbe eggs. That method is
usually a failure. But be belirves it is feasible to ahip the
full-grown birds, and says that the forests of Scotland and
various localities in Hungary, Austria and Germany, where
these birds had been exterminated by tbe hunters, had been
restocked in tbis way. He believes that a hundred caper-
cailzie and a hundred bUck game can be obtained and pot
down in thiB country at a cost of $3,000.

Prom Austin B. Sperry.

Editor Breedek and Sportsman:— Asyou were particularly
anxious iu regard to my appearance when I returned from my
journey abroad, I conceived the idea of dropping yon a line to
prepare you for the real changes in my general appearance.
You may expect to see a wind splitter with a soit composed of
two plaids, a tall silk hat, and the usual single eye glass. It
really takes the American to ape the custom b of the old country,
and lam just the one to do it. In regard to my travels so far
I will not attempt to describe them, as everything is such a
change to what they have at home. I am endeavoring to
find some one who will invite me to witness the shooting of
the London Gun Club, and think I have sufficient cheek to
succeed. At Monte Carlo I intend also to witness the shoot-
ing. In Corry, Peno., U. S. A., I met a Mr. H. A. Penrose,
(who I believe is considered one of the crack shots of the
East, and is interested in the manufacture of the Keystone
argets.)

He was very kind to me, and iuyited me toparticipate in the
Club Shoot, which took place while I was there, and which I
aceepte 1, but did not distinguish myself. The Keystone tar-
gets and traps I coosider far superior to the Bine Bocks, and
I saw them worked to the best advantage. The birds are
much superior, and the traps throw the biidi with greater
speed and more accuracy than any I have ever seen. I be-
lieve them to b" the coming artificial bird. They are all
packed very carefully, insuring a less percentage of breakage.
The Blue Rock manufactory at Cleveland I saw also, but it
does not begin to compare with the other.

I wanted to say one thing in regard to the enthusiasm ol
the Eistern sportsmen over ours. At Corry where I visited,
(which is a town of only about 7,000 inhabitants) they have
a club of over 70 members, a nice club house on the grounds
and all of which is entirely owned by the member's, and club
day they all turn out. The day I had the pleasure of shoot-
ing with them it snowed quite hard, but nearly all were
present and participated in the shooting. They shoot very
rapidly, over 40 shot this day at 25 birds apiece. We began
about half past two and were through before five.

Kindly remember me to all of my friends, and hoping to
meet yen at the meeting in October. A. B. Sperry.

London, Eng., May 18th.

At a regular meeting of the Pacific Sportsmen's Club of
Sacramento last Sunday night, it was decided to hold the
next medal shoot at the Gerber grounds on Sunday, June
15th. The club his joined the State Sportsman's Associa-
tion, and will entertain all visiting clubs in October.

Major S. I. Kellogg, of the Selby Standard Cartridge Com-
pany, is visiting Portland, Or., for health and business com-
bined. We hope he may soon return Bound in body, and
encouraged in his efforts to push the sale of his excellent

ammunition.

^ -

A very graphic and interesting letter is that from Mr. Aus-
tin Sperry. We can clearly picture the man in the moon
and without great mental strain can describe Heaven as we
understand it, but to conjure Austin Sperry in the character
of an Anglo — Ape is too much. We congratulate England,
the continent and all those parts, upon the opportunity to
meet Mr. Sperry than whom we know no clearer headed or
more typical American. "We hope that persistent sportsman
editor of the Shooting ThneB Mr. Lewis Clement, may meet
Sperry and take him down into the Shires for some sport.

It is well worth noting that Mr. Martinez Chick in making
his brilliant shooting agaiost Captain Brewer used Selby
Standard Cartridges. The scoreB were the best ever made at
a like number of birds in oonsecutive matches. Captain
Brewer loaded his own cartridges but Mr. Chick Bimply went
into the Selby Company's office and selected his ammunition
from the supply in store, not even thinking it wortb. while to
have them specially loaded, so near perfection have the
cartridges been brought by Major S. I. Kellogg and his co-
laborers in the loading plant. Those who saw the shooting
will admit that more even, harder hitting ammunition never
was let go from a shot gun.

are limited to residents of the Northwest. CalifornianB can
shoot in ten of the twelve events, and if they have not lost
all their money by tbe time they get through with those, they
can make special sweeps and get rid of the rest of it. The
conditions are these:

All shooting will be class shooting. Prices for inanimate
targets will be 5 cents. Prices of live birds will not exceed
40 cents. All matches will be shot under the American
Shooting Association rules, subject to the approval of the
Association.

Entries in each match will close at the firing of the first
gun.

No badge or medal offered in this programme (except the.
Selby best average badge which is open to all comers), can be
won by other than a bona fide member of the Sportsman'B
Association of the Northwest.

Refreshments and Ammunition can be prooured on the
club grounds.

The officers of the Association are: W. T. Muir, President
M. E. and G. C.j H. T. Hudson, Secretary 8. A. N. W.;
Buell LamberBon, Secretary M. R. and G. C.

Mr. W. G. Steele, President of the Exploration Depart-

A very handsome advertisement is that of the Golcher
Hunting Boots and Shoes which appears in another column
aod it'oan truly be said of these goods that "handsome is as
handsome does." If we have a reader who wishes to own a
pair of boots or shoes suitable for walking in over quail
ground, through the mountains for deer, about summering
resorts, as fishing waders, on pedestrian tours or anywhere
else where a sensibly shaped thoroughly made shoe of last-
ing material is needed then we unreservedly advise him to
go or write to Clabrough, Golcher & Co., at 630 and 632
Montgomery St., for the Golcher Hunting Shoes. This ad-
vice is resultant upon the severest possible test of the shoes
for the purposes suggested. A few days ago we visited the
store and purchased a piir of the shoes, put them on in the
Bhop, tramped off in them and for two days did hard walking
over the mountain roads and along fishing streams, without
the slightest discomfort or inconvenience. There are noseams
on the inside of the shoes or boots. The leather is alum-tan
and oil-'an; there are good stiff' counters and firm shanks
awi tough soles. The Bhoes weigh 1\ lbs. per pair, the boots
3 lbs , and while seemingly very low in price they are yet
strong, well made and cannot but be durable. Nothing ap-
proaching them in excellence has ever come to onr notice
and they will undoubtedly be worn universally by sportsmen,
anglers, field trialers, campers and all others who need de-
lightfully easy, light and strong foot wear.

The fear that the late rains had chilled many neBts and de-
S'royed most of the young quails does not appear to be well
founded. Reports from many portions of the State agree
that not for many years have young birds been so abundant.
In Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda and
Sin Mateo Counties, those which are moBt frequented by
San Francisco sportsmen, the stand of quails is greater than
aay Binoe 1883. It is to be regretted that the southern por-
tion of the State, particularly about Sin Diego, is being
swept of its game to meet the never ceasing demand of the
great hotels of that seotion. The San Diego club does not
seem to be able to cope with the owners of the Coronado
Hotel, which institution we are informed is seldom ornever
withqnt freshly killed game in its larders.

Major S. I. Kellogg writes from Portland as fellows;

"I am trying to get up an inter-State match at inanimates*
California will have here for her team Cadwallader, of San
Jose, Dr. Taber, of San Bernardino, Cadman, of San
Francisco and Tours Truly. Can't you Btir up H. A. Bass-
ford or Mr. Chick or Frank Coykendall, or a few more to be
here and strengthen our team. Mind you the proposition
is embryo as yet and may not culminate. Sorry to have
missed the Chick-Brewer affair. Regards to all enquirers.'

ROD.

A Trout Pest.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I am sorry to inform
you of the fact that a fly is beginning to attack the trout in
these waters. It is a black fly with a rather large body for
the size of the wings. I Bend you a specimen of fly with four
large trout that they killed laBt Sunday. Wish you would
show the fly to the Fish Commissioners, and get them to
inform ns as to the best means of exterminating them. What
are fruit pests to this? What is an orchard to a brook full
of trout as large as these? Hope you will get them in good
shape. This is the best I can do bo early in the season.

[We failed to find the fly spoken of, and must ask Judge
Carney to send us more, when they will be submitted to the
Academy of Sciences. They should be sent in a bottle.— Ed.]

The sixth annual trap shooting tournament of the Sports-
man'B Association of the Northwest, will be held at Portland,

Game Fish of British Columbia.

An exchange published in the far north gives these inter-
esting items about the game fish of that section.

If there is one more than another thing that will attract
the attention of the stranger on his arrival here, it is the ex-
cellence and variety of our food fish, while the gameneas of
some of tbem will especially commend them to the sports-
men. There are five varieties of salmon in British Colum-
bian waters, to which extended reference has already been
made in these columns. Three of them may be spoken of
as game fish, viz , theCohoe, the Sookeye and the Tyhee, or
spring salmon. These are emphatically angling fish, and
are plentifulin their respective seasons, notably in Maroh
and April, and when the rivers are full. They may be taken
with the Uy, minnow or spoon bait, in the sea, almost at all
times. Frequently the rivers are too muddy for them, and
they can only be caught al certain times and when there are
freshets.

The trout of British Columbia are of two kinds, the ordin-
ary common {salmo purpuratus) having black epota, and the
steel head tsalmo Gairdneri}. The ordinary trout occasion-
ally attains the weight of ten pounds, but three or four
pounds may be considered the weight of a good fish. The
steel head attains from 25 to 30 pounds. Both species are
plentiful in all the rivers, some speoimens of common trout
being found In the lakes, which are never frequented by the
steel head, Both fish affordj lively sport for anglers all
through the summer months.

In this province there are two varieties of char, the Salve-
linos malma and the Salvehnus NamaycuBh. The former
have red spots and the latter are brown with yellow stripes.
It is not often that either of these fish are caught with the
fly, the last named variety having a fancy for tbe spoon bait,
the minnow or a piece of bacon; but it is scarcely what may
be described as a game fish. They can be caught all sum-
mer, and also through the ice in winter. The Salvelinus
malma seldom reaches over five or fix pounds, while the oth-
er is not known to attain over ten pounds, although in Eas-
tern Canada it has been taken at as high as 120 pounds.

The grayling is seldom seen in British Columbia, it being
only fjund, so far as known, in the Cassiar district. Oo the
other side of the Rockies, notably in the tributories of the
Peace River and streams having their outlet in the Arctic
Ocean it is comparatively common. Although its average
weight is from a half to three quarters of a pound, it some-
times reaches from three to four pounds. It takes the fly
well, and is full of fight. It is in the best condition in win-
ter.

It is said that "giant powder friendB" are at work on the
streams of Lake County.

Mr. Ben O. Bush writes from Kalamazoo, Mich., that
trout fishing is at its zenith, and that prospects for the com-
ing shooting season are good, young bi^B being plenty.

A wrinkle to anglers about repairing a broken rod is to
split a quill after soaking it, lay a piece or two pieces of
watch spring along the break, cover it with the quill and
bind the whole tackle with waxed silk.

Mr. Geo. Heazleton left for Webber lake on Monday last
to be gone ten days. Mr. S. B. Whitehead, better known as
a bookmaker, although a rare anglsr and owner of as choice
a lot of rods as anyone we know goes to Webber next week.
We fear both gentlemen will fail to have such sport as they
desire because of the lateness of the season at AVebber. The

snow is barely off the ground now.

m

The Klamath is the objective point this year for the
leading fly casters. Mr. Ramon Wilson intends to viBit
Shovel Creek, and may be accompanied by Mr. Will Golcher
and Jno. M. Adams. What chance has a trout against such
a trio? There is one*, consolation, however, that all of the
gentlemen named use the fly and nothing else.

As was foretold, the fishing nowadays is something worthy
of remark. The trout streams are juat about right, flies are
plenty, fish in countless numbers and rising freely. Dr.
Heffenger killed something over a hundred in Sonoma Creek
on one day of last week, Mr. Will Rix brought a beautiful
basket of trout from Maria County last Saturday; the flsh
were unusually large, none of them being smaller than three
to the pound and many weighing tbree-quartera.

Lagunitas Lake is full of beautiful trout at present,
although no stocking has been done for several years. The
use of anything but the fly is prohibited there, and we know
no more charming spot to uisit; whether for fish or merely
for an outing. Permission must be secured from the San
Rafael Water Co. to visit the premises. The Menlo Water
Works Lake is said to be overstocked with bass, The body
of water is small, although very favorable for bass; they
multiply there astonishingly.

+

The fishing on th9 Carmel is superb at present. The first
storm last fall washed out tbe fish ladder, and the fish are
huddled below the dam, waiting with their ascension robes
to go up. The road has been so that the company could
not get lumber up the river to replace the ladder as required
by law, but it is reported that it will be done in a week or
two, and the Isaac Waltons who want to get in before the fish
hegira should not procrastinate in getting there.

For some time oast matters have not been going smoothly
with the fishermen in the neighborhood of Sacramento of
whom there are about twenty-five, exclusive of those operating
below Freeport. They had been receiving about 3.\ cents per
pound for their salmon, which did not pay them as the boats
about there average only about 10 fish per night.

On Tuesday last the fishermen met and formed a branch
union among themselves. They called on W. R. Jones,
proprietor of the Sacramento fish market, and made a satisfac-
tory arrangement with him, by which he is to handle all
fish caught by them, and of the net proceeds he is to have
10 per cent commission. If the fish brings 7, 10 or more
cents per pound the fishermen will receive the benefit.

Undei this agreement made, if any fisherman violates his
contract he is to forfeit his boat and outfit to Mr. Jones; and
if the latter does not live up to the terms he forfeits his tish
market to the fishermen.

The latter were in good humor on Tuesday, and returned
to their boats for their night's arduous work, feeling that
life was at least worth the living.

. The manner in which fish— especially trout— come onto
feed during the early stage of a rainy day and "go off*' as
the volume of descending water inoreases, is an interesting
item for the attentive naturalisUangler, says an exchange.
It would seem that the inoreased volume at first sets free all
kinds of hitherto quiescent larvro, and that some tonic effect
comes of the pure Boft water of the skies. Later the effect is
reversed, and the swarming myriads of water creatures are
lost in the preponderating mud and vegetable debris, and the
wa'er itself becomes nauseating to the tish. One can quite
understand also, how the multitudinous partioleB of foreign
matter in a soiled stream may, after a while, mechanically
irritate the delicate bronchia* of the trout. Some fish will
live comfortably in liquid mud (par example, the mud fish of
Ceylon, described by Sir Emerson Tennant iu hip "Fishes of
Ceylon"), but not bo the patrioian trout. His most delightful
habitat is tbe icy and limpid spring gushing from some rook
bound mountain glen or grotto. But of course he does not
disdain the rain swollen river, providing there is not too
much of it, but just enough. At such times he gorges him-
self on all the varied lower life of the stream, and retireB to
digest in somnolent complacency, ignoring sublimely the
feathered lure of every kind whatsoever.

Our Australian Letter.

Sydney, New South Wales, May 14, 1890.

Dear Breeder and Sportsman: — The owner of thai well
performed colt Sir "William, by your Sir Modred, has had the
doubtful honor oonferred upon him of having his horse placed
top weight, 9 stone 5 poundB, in the Royal Stakes, a six fur-
long flutter to be inn at Randwick on the 24th of May. Sir
William was asked to give 2 pounds to Sedition, which Sir
William's owner thought so unfair that he scratched the colt's
name out of the race. Sedition, an aged mare by Neckersgat
from Irish Queen, is a sterling performer, who last year won
the Newmarket Handicap, the champion sprint race of the
colonies, and Bhe won the Royal Stakes last year with the
same weight in the Baddle as she is alloted this year, so that
the owner of Sir William may well feel dissatisfied at having to
concede such an aDimal 2 pounds.

Pony racing has been oarried to such a pitch in the colon-
ies that the Australian Jockey Club, the premier racing
authority in New South Wales has taken the matter up in
the interest of legitimate sport, and passed the most stringent
rules on the subject. No trainer or jockey is now allowed to
own a racing poDy under pain of disqualification, and no
programme that contains a pony race will be recognized by
the Australian Jookey Club. Pony racing is now oarried on
night and day, the Lillie Bridge grounds, situated in one of
the suburbs of Sydney, being fixed up with the electric
lights. The Auckland, New Zealand racing Club, have fol-
lowed the suit of the A. J. C, and placed their ban upon the
sport of the lilliputions.

The Hon. James White's cireer on the English turf has
not opened very auspiciously, what with the indifferent run-
ning of Kirkham and the bursting of the blood vessel of Plu-
tarch. Kirkham and Narellan are big horseB and comeof a stock
that require plenty of work, aud many Australian horsemen
are of opinion that if a colonial trainer had gone to England
with ihe animals they would have given a better account of
themselves. However, a colonial trainer will id all proba-
bility take Mr. White's string iu hand next seasoD, and when
Kirkham and Narellan mature, I shall expect them to show
the Britishers something in the way of weight carrying and
staying powers.

Lurline, the dam of Darebin is dead. Lurline won a Mel-

bourne Cup and foaled Darebin, a brace of events the like of
which fall to very few mares.

Your Mr. Tom Merry, who is at present here purchasing
brood mares, has evolved a scheme which on the face of it
looks as though there might be lots of money in the transac-
tion for all concerned. He proposes to promote a company
for the purpose of buying at least a half dozen of the princi-
pal steeple-chase horses of this country and take them to
America for your coming great exposition, where they will
be exhibited on the various tracks so that Americans can
see what wonderful weights the Australian horses cau carry
and what enormous jumps it is possible for them to make.
Sir Roderick Cameron, wbo is at present in New York, has
been communicated with in reference to the matter and he
gives it his earnest support. In his letter Sir Roderick writes:
"You would receive a cordial welcome from all sporting men
here and they are many and influential. You also should
feel encouragement from the sucsess of Buffalo Bill's Wild
Weat Show that proved a great success. If the Sporting
Clubs of Melbourne or Sydney should take the matter up
and look to the public for subscriptions, I would willingly
give a fifty-pound note towards the fund and I would rejoice
to see your horses clearing five feet of stiff timber and thus
Bhowing to our American cousins how to do it; jumping here
has bo far been a farce and I think I am safe in saying that
four feet of timber has been the maximum and more fre-
quently it is three feet six of brush that is attempted."
There are many here who feel inclined to go into the specu-
lation and I am pretty certain that Mr. Merry will have the
company completed before he returns with his brood mares
on the next steamer.

This month has been a remarkably quiet one on the Aus-
tralian turf, so I shall take the opportunity of giving yoor
readers some notion of the most prominent Australian oars-
men whioh may prove of interest to you Yaokees, by reason
cf our haviDg amongst us your crack sculler, O'Conuor.
O'Connor is well liked iu Australia, and his practice shows
the knowing ones that he is amongst the firBt flight, and it is
the general opinion that he is far and away a better man thau
Ned Hanlon ever showed himBelf to be in Australia, what-
ever he may have been before he reached our shores. O'Con-
nor considered himself rather badly treated at first in not at
once getting on a match for the championship, which Kemp
was supposed to hold, bat Australian sportsmen are of rather
a sospioious nature, and they thought that if O'Connor met
and defeated Kemp for the championship, the Yankee would

at once travel for his native shores in company with the cov-
eted honor.

Another point was that Sydney possessed fonr men, with
money at their backs, who considered themselves fit to row
for the championship: Staosbury, McLean, Kemp and Mat-
tetson, so that it really resolved itself into rowiDg a series of
races in "heats," to find out the beBt man, but O'Connor
wanted the others to "row off," and he to meet the ultimate
winner for the championship. This was manifestly unfair,
| as O'Connor would have started fre<:h for the final event,
whilst his opponent might have been compelled to keep in
training for two or three races and then row, a stale man,
against O'Connor. Matterson, whose ability to raise tho
stake money alone put him alongside the other three, has
now been defeated with the greatest ease by both Kemp and
McLean. Kemp and McL <an meet to-morrow afternoon, and
your O'Connor is matche i against Stansbuiy, so that it will
be between the winners of these two events as to who is the
champion of the world.

Before I proceed further I may Btite that you Yankees may
lay the flattering nuction to your hearts that wc have not
another Henry Ernest Searle in Australia. Searle was u
phenomenan and bis like may never crop np again id tho
aquatio world. Kemp I expect to see ben': to-morrow by
McLean, but in Staosbury and McLean, O'Connor will meet
men of great pace, and men who possess the physical and
mental power to stay cut a gruelliug race. Id Australia,
O'Connor is looked npon as a sculler whose races are dtcided
on the first mile, as were Edward Hanlon's uutil Beach's
dogged determination enabled him to wear dowu the hitherto
invincible Canadian, but if such be the case, O'Connor Deed
look for no respite uutil the judge's Aug falls, for both Stnna-
bury and McLean are a* tenacious as a couple of bull dogs.
It is a peculiarity of Colonial sculliDg that do other Colony
but New South Wales cao raise an even moderate profession-
al sculler. The Co'omal champions. Green, llickey, •Trickett,
Lay cock, Rush, Beach, Kemp, in addition to a host of second
cla*sers better than anything raised iu the other colonies, all
bailed from Now South Walts. It is one of those tbiiiRfl that
caonot be understood by Yours, "Tiik JONOLE,"

for your horses and dogs.

fier and preventative of disease.

MEMO trotted in public in his two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandcein a r*ce on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31.1-2, the first in 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it not been for a slight Btrain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question thai he would h^ve shown in publio vary close to tne best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 31 seconds.

As a fonr-year-oid Memo only s'arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
great speed, and improving as he went on, grett hopes were entertained of his going well down in the "teens
at the P. C, T. H. B. A. meeting, but after showing several very fast miles his leg filled and he was laid up for
the season. He in sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a glossy black, with
both fore-feet white. If is disposition i« all that could be desired, and Mb action superb. He is a sure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his laBt season.

TERMS. UTO, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of marea. Season to close JUNE 15th,
when he will be prepared for track purposes. Pasturage $"> per month. .Have leased the cricket ground

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak-
land- The stable b are about one mile east of the county road, which rnns between Oakland and San Lean-
dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed. Guide hoards
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads are very good, awl they are fairly good
after the unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter.

All stock sent from esan Francisco may be brought over by O^rcia's ExpreBB, No. 3 Market street. San
Francisco. They also have an order box outside of Hawley Bros," Hardware house on the corner of Murket
and Beale Btreets. The express leaveB fc-an Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at l:S>, but all
orders should be in the order box at Marketand Beale streetB by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 Market
street, by 11 o'clock at the latest. In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the tf outlier Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead hehiud a wagon. A small caarge will he
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are very easily taken ironi Oakland to the farm, and where it is Inconvenient for owners to
bring them or send them, the farm will send after anything that is to come. On horses that Btay three
months or oyer there is no charge for getting or delivering. Where a horse Bfcays a short time the actual
time and expense only is charged to him.

Horses can be shipped hy rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify the
Farm several davs before shipping anything, and then men will be on hand to receive stofk on arrival." The
railroad station is but two mileB from the Souther Farm, and the agent invariably gives immediate notice
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the nbove farm, hut when word is sent to the farm in good season
by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hoars in the car.

P -Bsenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gauge ferry) and First and Broadway, Oakland,
at frequent intervals during the day. 'there are several trains from San Jose to San Leaudro on both the
bruad and narrow gauge railroads; the brnnd gauge, by way of Niles, is much more conrenient f jt get ing to
the farm. Thereare trainB each d*y from Sacramento, Stockton andLHermore to San Leandro. In ordi-
nary weather it iB a Bhort and pleas-tut drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San FmnciBCo to
the Farm by way of the Creek route furry boat. Always notify the .Souther Farm just when von will arrive
at San Leandro, and some one will meet you at the station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance ask
the stage driver, who will point, it out.

Write to tlie above address for references, circulars and price lists. Terms
reasonable.

Foaled 1 876. Black. Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of highest form and quality; of great excellence in every point ; a type of his celebrated fam-
ily; of marked Individuality, spirit and endurance; never properly trained or raced, but sbows the pos-
session of great Bpeed; perfectly manageable in tbe Btable and on tbe road and track.

As be is sired by Tbe Moor 870, a son of OLAY PILOT, out of Vashti by MAMBRINO PATCBEN, he is a
most valuable cross for mnreB of other families. THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bells and tbe dams of Sable
Wilkes and Margaret2:28 (dam of Regal Wilkes, 2-year-old record 2:20i).

MAMBRINO PATOHEN is regarded as the unsurpassed sire of broodmares, having, among many
others, Blred the dam of Guy Wilkes and ol Wm. L (the sire of Axtell), and a son of his sired tbe dam of
Axtell. The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of The Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with tbe Hambletonlans It may be called
"the ready money cross."

(3:15, trial 9:13 3-4).

JUANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1880. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patchen
at tbe same age. Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. Tbe owner's only reason for selling biin Is
that business calls him away from this section of
the State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a Bplendld opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1890.

Sam Purdy, 2:20 1-2-

Some time ago we sent a letter to Mr. Foxhall A. Dainger-
fieJd, the present owner of Sam Purdy, 2:2(U, asking for infor-
mation relative to the old stallion, as there are so many horses
in this country to day that have the blood of Sam Pnrdy
running throngh their veins. The son of Geo. M. Patchen
Jr. has been for many years in the East, and it was not until
the year-book for 1S89 was published, that we found any of
his get enumerated in the 2:30 list: however when that use-
ful publication arrived on the Pacific Coast, it was fonnd that
Charlie C , by Sam Pur^y, dam Bessie O'Malley by O'Mal-
ley, bad secured a record of 2:241 at Baltimore on October
25th, 18S9. Daring the prepent year, Charlie C. has again
Btarted and materially reduced his record, and it was to find
out what other ?ons and daughters, if any. of the old horse
could Bhow speed at the trot or pace in addition to the one
mentioned, that occasioned the sending of the letter. In
answer to the request, the present owner of Sam Purdy has
sent ns a communication which will be read with interest by
all who are interested in the trotting horse:

Wren's Nest, Harris ox eitbg, Virg , June 9, '90.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Your letter of March
27, 1890, was duly received, but ill health and press of busi-
ness has so occupied my time as to render more than a bare
acknowledgment impossible, and that little has from time to
time been postponed in the hope that I should have time for
mure.

Alter Sam Purdy left California, be was for some years — or
until 1881 — the road-horse of Mr. James E. Keene of New
York. In the spring of 1881, Mr. Keene (my brother-in law)
sent him to me at this place. Then trotting horses were
practically unknown in tbis valley; the population, largely
Geiman f.rmers, regarding three or four miles per hour fast
enough for safety to the bones of th6 old or the souls of the
young, had bred their mares on not the best blood-lines for
producing trotters, nevereblees, the size and good looks of
Sam Purdy so attracted even these quiet and slow-going
farmers, that from the first he had in numbers a liberal
patronage. A few of oar towns people had saddle or driving
mares possessing some running blood, and many of these
also were bred to Sam Purdy.

The first foal dropped to him east of the Rockies wai a
chestnut filly from a mare by Doswell, a son of Planet; she
unfortunately got an ankle injured, by breaking through a
plank in her stable, and was injured for speed, cat even now,
baving been used as a brood mare, would, I believe, if trained,
endanger the 100-mile record.

The second, a gelding (dam a littlegrey mare used in livery
in this town), is now the good horse Charley C, record 2:21J
io a fourth heat when not in good condition. This is one of
the gamest horses now living.

The third, a bay filly (out of a farm mare owned by a Ger-
man farmer near this town), was purchased on her beauty
and natural speed by a gentleman in Missouri, and was sent
by bim to Mr. J. V. Strjker of Jerseyville, 111., to be bred to
Monon, son of Nutwood. Mr. Stryker regarding her promis-
ing for speed, suggested to her owner that she be developed
to some extent to give additional value to her foals. Under
Mr. Stryker's management, she was trotted trial heats on the
St. Louis (Mo ) track in 2:30 and 2:31 as a four-year-old, and
she was awarded the first prize at the St. Louis fair as the
beBt roadster, four years or over.

An own brother of the same mare, in a field of eight {all
the others standard bred), trotted one-half mile heats the
contest being so close between him and a Bon of King Bene,
as to divide prize and stakes equally between them.

Every foal by Sam Tardy is a natural trotter, regardless of
the blood or habit of action of the dam. Many of them pace
and show speed at that gait, bat they are distinctly doable
(not mixed) gaited, and the pacing tendency has not, so far
as I am informed, in any case interfered with their training
for road or track. I know a few that I believe have more
pacing than trotting, natural speed.

The owners of these colts, being generally farmers, do not
train— or even allow them to exhibit their natural speed— and
the fact that their dams are so generally as "common as the
town pump" (until some of tnem had been accidentally
allowed to show that they had not only speed but ability to
stay an indefinite number of heats), bad prevented their
being much looked after by persons seeking colts for track
purposes. Now, however, they are eagerly sought, and
wholly regardless of the want of breediDg of their dams, are
bought at prices which open the eyes of our farmers to the
fact that a trotting horse is not an invention of the Devil, and

incline many to the belief that they coald give "the aforemen-
tioned" more trouble to catch them if behind a fast roadster
than a plug.

The result is that the old horse is over-run with mares,
such as they are, and gets from them a class of horses with
not the smallest impress in quality of their plebian dams. I
believe that any candid observer will admit that in purity of
action, fine size, style and endurance, the get of Sam Purdy,
from all kinds of mares, are as uniform as those of almost
any other stallion from mares his equal in breeding.

There are very few recognized tracks in Ibis State, so that
very many winners at fairs sired by Sam Purdy have no
records I could name dozens that have won from one to five
or sis races at fairs and on local tracks in matches, etc.,
which have no records, but have shown most creditable speed
and race-horse qualities.

Since his get from common mares have performed in pub-
lic, his harem has much improved in quality. Until the day
before yesterday none of Sam Pnrdy's get that was even out
of a "mare by a standard horse" had ever faced a starter. On
the one-half mile track at Richmond, Va., Judo 7ib, Three
TipB, three years old, by Sam Purdy, trotted a match race
against a three-year-old Bed Wilkes filly, owned by Jo Lasit-
ter of Richmond, Va., on a one-half mile track, defeating her
in Btraight heats in 2:44, 2:42, 2:4:U. The colt Three Tips,
the property of Preston Belvin. E-q., of Richmond, Va., is
out of Virginia Girl by Hetzel's Hambletonian, and was bred
by myself.

The owner of Sam Purdy has bought mares one at a time,
until now the old horse has some excellent matrons in his
harem, and in the past two or three years, as many as eight
States have been represented by the public mares bred to
him, so if the "days" of the old horse are "as long in the
land" as those of his sire, he may yet see many of his pro-
geny emulating his deeds on the track when in his golden
prime.

A colt in my town, which has shown miles in 2:28, has no
record, though he has been twice matched for $500 against
horses having records better than 2:30, he coming out bar-
nested for each match and his competitor paying forfeit. A
colt (out of a mare not equal to five miles per hour in any
gait) has started in two stakes at local fairs, and in three
matches, and has not lost a race or a heat.

At Alder3on (W. Va ), Lynchburg, Stanton, Lexington,
Winchester, Berryville, and many other fairs in Virginia, and
at Frederick City and other Maryland tracks, Sam Purdy's
colts and fillies have won good races. Many have actual
records on regulation tracks in their time for two, three and
four-year-olds. Gold Elsie, 2;30}, is just outside "the list."
Strontia (a colt that once had his fore legs nearly cut off in
trying to get over a stallion fence) has a record of 2:35$, and
last fall trotted in 2;29; Geo. Purdy, record 2:34i; Frances
Pardy, four years old, 2:471; Stockinette, four years old,
2:46J-, etc., and none of them out of mares with any trotting
blood.

Sam Purdy seems to get perfectly level-headed and well-
gaited trotters from mares nearly or quite thoroughbred.

i believe I have seen most of the great trotting stallions
east of the Rocky Mountains, and have some knowledge of
the get of most of the old stallions, and I have never seen one
who impressed his gait and individuality upon his offspring
to a greater degree than Sam Purdy. He is bale and vigorous,
and while dignified in his box. he plays like a five-year-old in
his paddock, and frequently has a circus all to himself when
his groom goes to catch him and pat him in his box. He
touches the road as lightly, and enpys his morning work as
folly and with all the gusto of a youngster; hisconstitutional
vigor is wonderful.

In appearance the get of Sam Pardy are exceedingly haod-
some, showing fine size, Bhapa, style and colors. I enclose
a letter from an Englishman who resides at No. 3 Romford
Street, Liverpool, relative to his impressions of a mare (by
Sam Purdy, out of a mare by Mambrino Pilot) which I sold
him a year age, and which he had bred to Lord Russell. He
had not seen the mare until recently at Woodburo, where
she was in good company. You will note his impresBioDS of
her.

This Rame gentleman bought two trotting broodmares in
this country a few years ago; he returned with John Splan,
and has brought back a filly by Sam Pardy, foaled io Eog-
land, which he will leave in America to be educated. The
other mare he bred to Purdy remains in Americ*.

Two of Sam Purdy's daughters were booked to the ill fated
Bell Boy, one by Mr. Wm. Ellison of Richmond, and the
other bv the Eoglisb gentleman above referred to.

Nutwood, Lord Russell, Sultan, Nutguard. and other great

stallions, are being patronized by owners of good fillies by

I Sam Purdy, their tine appearance and gait causing their own-

ers to deem them worthy of such mating. In this way the
best bred of Sam Purdy's daughters are deoied training.

Yours truly. Foxhall A. Daingerfield.
In addition to the above very interesting letter, we have
also received word from Jas. Cox, Esq., of No. 3 Rumford
street, Liverpool, England, expressing his high admiration of
the Sam Pnrdy mare which he owns: and he also states that
he thought so highly of Nellie Bowyer and her exquisite foal
which she now has at her side by Lord Russel that he has
bred her back. He also states that when at Woodburn in-
specting bis mare and filly, that of all the royally bred ma-
trons to be found at Mr. Alexander's Stock Farm, there was
not one that excelled the Purdy mare in appearance. He
says "she was in high company, and she stood like a queen
among the Woodburn mares; I only wish I had a half dozen
like her."

Another communication, from Geo. D. McNeill of Moore.
field, West Virginia, states that he has a colt called Big Sam
by Sam Pardy, which he sent to Baltimore, and in an easy
workout showed a mile in 2:39 early in the present season,
but unfortunately the horse was ruptured, and Mr. McNeill
says he is very much afraid that he will never be able to trot
agaio, although he had every confidence that 2:25 would have
been an easy mark for his horse.

On June 7th of the present year a match race for $300 a
side for the three year-old trotting championship of Virginia
took place at Richmond, in that State, on a half mile track;
however, the following communication speaks for itselj:
"The race for the trotting championship at Richmond, Va ,
to-day, between Three Tips by Sam Par iy, and Mauesh by
Red Wilkes, was a complete upset for the betting fraternity,
as the tally was a strong favorite at two to one. However,
the race turned out a very one-sided affair, for after the first
quarter had been trotted it was evident that it was no contest
at all, as the filly coald never get her nose in from threo to
five lengths of the colt wh- se owner ran down the track and
motioned to his driver to slow up, the colt jogsed under tbe
wire at a five minr.te gait, reducing the three year old record
of the State by fully ten seconds on a half-mile track, which
by the way, was 198 feet over length. I may state here that
the track was prepared for Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show,
and hence the oddity of its length; it would also be as welt
to notify you that the former three-year-old record of the
State was made on a mile track and was in much batter con-
dition than the one over which we trotted to-day."

Yours, Wm. Ellison.

Mr. Dangerfield has also tried two experiments, by breed-
ing two daughters of Sam Pardy to theirown sire. It was a
rather peculiar idea, and has too niach the character of
incest to be tried by other breeders, yet still the experiment
was warrantable, owing to the scarcity of first-class mares.
In a supplemental note Captain Dangerfield says: I have in
the produce a yearling and a suckling whose gait and speed,
age tor age. I have never seen equaled, and both are grand,
vigorous specimens of tha trotter. A look at the weanling io
my large pasture field where tbe foal was standing by the Bide
of her dam makes me almost regret not baving bred the
mare back again to Sam Pardy, as tbe suckling filly is such a
rare good one. We sincerely trust that in the future Sam
Purdy may make a good name for himself in his new borne,
{or most assuredly he has stamped himself while here in
California as being ooe of the greatest trotters that ever ap-
peared on a California track.

The Bay District Track.

"When there are no fogs and but little wind, the Bay Dis-
trict track is always a place of interest for those who take a
delight in seeing horses exercised. On last Tuesday morning
a" visit was paid to the track, word having been received that
quite a number of horses would receive work-outs. The rain
of the previous night interfered considerably with the pro-
gramme, as it was not until high noon that a fast mile could
be given to any of the trotters at present located there. In
addition to the obstacles presented in the way of a slippery
track, a very high wind prevented fast time being made, but
quite a number of the horses were given moderate exercise,
and there is no reason to doubt that there are^many surprises
in store for track frequenters duriDg the present year.

Jas. A Dustin has a large number under education, several
of which show promise of speed; still, there are several in the
string that Jimmy has had bat a very short time, and con-
sequently no true line ccrald be had on what they are likely
to do.

Mr. Clay, of San Francisco, at the late sale of Mr. M. J.
Hill, purchased a sorrel stallion named Ulster Wilkes, by
Guy SVilbflB, 2:15i, dam by Ulster Chief, sonj.of Rysdyk's
Hambletonian. This sprightly youEg gentleman fchas been
turned over to Mr. Dustin, and during the day was given two
fairly good quarters; he shows that the noted sire of Gay
Wilkes can reproduce speed in any of his get, and it is
extremely probable that before the present season ends, that
Ulster Wilkes will have a good low mark to the credit of him-
Belf and sire.

Rabe is well known to many of the California race-goerB; he
was last year in the stable of Dan Dennison, who secured for
him a record of 2:24. Eabe is owned by Mr. Nixon of Win-
nemncea, Nevada, who hopes to materially lower his mark
this year.

Another in the Dustin string is Mambrino Boy, a handsome
bay gelding who takes to his work kindly, and shows every
indication of lowering his present record of 2:30.

Gracie S., with a record of 2:22, is liable to have a full
Bister with a record equally low, as Lillie S. is moving along
in Bplendid Bhape, and as one of our old drivers UBed to Bay,
is "threatened with speed."

The old horseman, N. J, Killip, has a pacing team in Das-
tin's care, one of whioh was given a mile in 2:29£, while the
other negotiated the distance in 2;34.

The Valensin Stock Farm is represented in the Banie stable
by a fine large black gelding whose pedigree was given as
being by Black Bird 402, dam by Buccaneer 2656; he was
given a mile in 2:28 }, and he took to the work so readily,
that it is easy to believe that if started in a race he would
readily compass the distance in close to 2:20.

California Nutwood, the stallion owned by Martin Carter
of Irvington, is represented in the same stable by one of his
get, a pacer, who was worked out a nice easy mile in 2:35.

Judge Green, of Oakland, is the fortunate possessor of a
Sidney colt who is as yet very rank, still he was able to do a
mile in the exceedingly good time, for a green horse, of
2:40}. This gelding has had only a month's handling, but
the indications are very strong that he will prove a fast and
reliable trotter.

A bay gelding by Nephew was also seen, but as he had
only just arrived, no fast time was shown; he is a handsome
animal, and will beyond doubt prove fast.

Capt. Frank Drake, of Vallejo, haB sent down three to
receive their preparatory work at the hands of Mr. Dustin,
the first being a bay mare by Director, dam Black Flora (dam
of Sister, 2:19J. Nona Y., 2.25, Perihelion, 2:25, and Hun-
tress, 2:28); barring accident, this Director filly should this
year add another to Black Flora's already long list of 2:30
performers. She was given a mile in 2:43, and was not
pushed in the least. The second one is a full sister to the
four named above, being by Admiral out of Black Flora. The
third is a two-year-old chestnut stallion by Woodnut, dam by
Admiral, who will undoubtedly prove a credit to sire and
dam before long.

Mr. Dustin has also one of his own, a bay stallion by Dex-
ter Prince, dam Bessie by General McClellan 144; 2d dam by
Belmont; 3d dam by Shiloh. Although only a youngster, he
is a good pnre-gaited trotter, and. his owner has a great deal
of confidence in his ultimate speed.

The La Siesta Ranch has a half score of superbly-bred trot,
ting stock at the track, none of which as yet have received
any very hard work. Daylight, by Eros, made a n&me and
mark for himself laBt year at San Jose, and as he is in the
pink of condition, should be able to add another to his sire's
2:30 performers.

The bay filly Wanda has filled out and improved wonder-
fully since last year; Bhe must weigh fully 150 pounds more
than when she received her mark of 2:24, and although not
given any hard work, seems eager for fast quarters and
halves^ Mr. Burke, who handled the ribbons over this
superb mare, had no trouble in sending her a quarter in 3S
seconds, the mare fighting for the bit all the diBtance.

Clovewood is the daughter of Clovis, dam by Nutwood, who
from a little spurt she made at San Jose early in the present
year, deterred many from entering in the two-year-old Dis-
trict Stakes at that place; she is a large-bodied and clean-
gaited filly, and if accident does not prevent, should prove
hf r stamina and endurance before the season of 1S90 closes.

During the early months of the year, Mr. Burke and his

veil-known trainer, Wm. Vioget, had many controversies

ispectiDg the merits of the best yearlings at the La Siesta

inch. The many arguments finally closed by Mr. Burke

a^d his trainer, each selecting one to do battle for their opin-

ions; the one Beleoted by the trainer is called Luck of Eros,
by Eros, dam by Nutwood; 2d dam the dam of Vanderlynn,
2:21, by Joseph; 3d dam Old Scully by Easton's Black Hawk.
The one selected by the proprietor is Donzella by Eros, dam
the sister to Lewis D., 2:24|. After a l-Ioso and critical exam*
ination of each of the yearlings, it must be confessed that
from present appearances, the Luck of Eros is the better of
the two, however, Mr. Burke has great confidence in his own
selection, and seems to think that Donzella can beat "Luck"
in a contest.

In the same stable we also find Maggie E., 2:19£, by Nat-
wood, dam by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. This well known mare,
like the balance of the string, has received no hard work, but
will be gradually prepared for this season's campaign.

Maraquita already has a record of 2:43, and is a handsome,
well-diBposed miss who, in her present four-year-old form,
should considerably reduce her present matk. Haraqaita is
by Eros, dam by Elmo.

Another promising one in the same stable is Benefactor by
General Benton, dam Frolic by Harry Clay 45; 2d dam Maori
by imp. Australian; 3d dam by Lexington. Taken all in all,
the La Siesta Ranch has a very useful lot of trotter?, and
from present appearances, there will be quite a number of
Eros colts to add to the list this year.

Our Tennessee Letter-

Gallettn, Tenn., June 13th.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — My worst fearB of El
Rio Bey's condition have atlast become true, and my prediction
thathe would never win another race has been realized. Upon
taking the horse to St. Louis, Mr. Winters had a veterinary
surgeon examine him thoroughly, and after a close examina.
tion it was deemed best to at once retire him from racing and
send him to the stud. It is evident from this fact that the
Westchester illness was the commencement of the trouble.
While the colt Bhowed a splendid mile at Nashville, he could
not go further than that distance, for on a good day and
track there his best mile and a quarter was 2:16£.

He will at once be sent to Mr. Winter's breeding farm.
His fate is just such as was Sensation's, Tremont's and
French Park's, all of whom were unbeaten in their two-year-
old form, but were never trained thereafter. As these raced
in different years, it will never be positively known which
was the best, and almost everybody has different opinions as
to their performances, entitling either one of the four to rank
as king of two-year-olds. As these four colts met all comers
and were never defeated, we must naturally class them
superior to those that were good, but still had been beaten

If the great colt Russell continues to show his heals to his
rivals in the East he will probablj be the first two-year-old
to win as much as $100,000. Besides his already large
stake victories he is yet engaged in seventeen of the richest
stakes for his age, among which are the Carteret Handicap
at Monmouth with §5,000 added, Junior Champion, worth
$25,000, Select, Stakes and the rich Double Event, and Futur-
ity Stakes. In all of theBe racPB he will meet Rey del Key,
and I look for the Winter's colt to as easily defeat BuBsell as
the latter can a selling plater." Bey del Key's stake engage-
ments will be worth something over $100,000, and he may
be the one to first cross the line. If he fills all his engage-
ments he will, no doubt, come as near securing the $100,000
mark as will the Morris colt.

To-morrow week the seventh renewal of the American
Derby will take place at Washington Park, Chicago. It Is
an open race — not because there are no cracks engaged, but
because there are so many of them and they are all so nearly
equal. Kiley, Protection, Amigo, (His a Californian, and
they always win DerbyB) Bill Letcher, Prince Fonso, English
Lady, Pilgrim, Helter Skelter and a few lesser lights that are
engaged will make a hard field to pick from. Good-day and
track, I would not be surprised to see them coming in this
order, providing all of the above start, English Lady first with
Amigo and Bill Letcher for the place horses. The Baldwin
string are now quartered at Washington Park, where his
horses are well engaged. He has been Bingnlarly successful
in running this race, and there are a thousand who will back
Amigo, thinking there is something in the "Baldwin luck.''
Bob Campbell, Mr. Baldwin's trainer, expects to win the race
with his colt Protection, but I am afraid he will be sorely
disappointed with his Junior Champion winner. He is a
good colt, however, and he may finish far in the lead of the
second horse.

The best played "scoop" of the season was that of the
Daisy Woodruff party at Westchester last week; and it was
even nicer than Bhrewd Johnny Campbell's nicely laid planB
for the Brooklyn Handicap. Daisy Woodruff is owned by
Reuben Payne, who owns a large breeding farm here, and be
knows a "dead clinch" when they are about to come off
That day "he went down the line," handling the books a
"century" a piece on his little mare at odds of 50 to 1 against,
and after Bhe had ran the race in 1: 13, he found himself win.
ner of $50,000. Every one of his stable boys simply got rich,
and his trainor, Major Eliott, is said to have won $10,000.
Last year Daisy Woodruff was bred to Asteiro, but owing to
her not producing this Bpring she was again put ia training
and very luckily so for Mr. Payne.

After all the Westchester course *b not going to be the
great thing it was once thonght to be. The "straight'-
track is not what race-goers like to pay their money to see a
horse ran an eighth of a mile and a quarter race on. The
circular track need not feel envious, for the tide of prosperity
will soon turn and Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn and other
oircular courses will be looked upon as the most aristocratic.

Los Angeles News.

The approach of the opening meeting of the Grand Cirooit
has livened up the horsemen all over Southern California,
and the season of 1S90 promises to be a memorable one. The
entries for the 2:30 trot and the district trotting stakes
closed on Monday, but at this writing all the entries are not
in. The colt stakes have filled splendidly, such aires as
Stamboul, Guy Wilkes, WoolBey, Alcazar, Gossiper, Albion,
Will Crocker, Wilton, Endymion, Maximilian, Bob Mason
and Christmas being represented.

"Lucky" Baldwin has arrived at Santa Anita. The Em-
peror of Norfolk, La Cienga and Coata Rica were sent East
last week. The Emperor is expected to make his debut in
the California Stakes at the Saratoga meeting.

The entries for the August meeting close next Tuesday
week. A good entry is confidently expected from the North-
ern end of the State, especially a* the railroad company offer
to charge but $100 for the transportation of a car load from
San FranciBco, San Jose, Sacramento, Stockton, Napa, or any
point contiguous to the Bay City.

QUARTER STRETCH GOSSIP.

A brown stallion that will be Been on the California circuit
this year for the first time is Jud Wilkes by Ira Wilkes. The
dam of Jud Wilkes is Champion Maid by Champion Messen-
ger. This stallion was imported from the East by J. W.
KobinsoD.

John D. Young owns the only Monroe Chief stallion in
Southern California. He is a three-year-old and his dam is
by Young America, who is by Prather's Rattler.

Juan B. Arellan.es is training a string of horses at Santa
Maria.

Atto Kex and Gossiper are being slowly jogged. Opinion
ib divided about their standing for more than two or three
races.

The only son of Wilton on the coast is entered in the trot-
ting stakes for 1891. He is owned by J. W. Robinson and
Mb dam is Grey Diana by Administrator.

Mr. Sanchez, of Santa Fe Springs, is training Dick Rich-
mond. He expects to take this son of A.W.Richmond on
the circuit this year.

Rajah haB been thrown out of training.

THE FARM.

DAIRTING.

The New System of Butter Shows in Den-
mark.

In a report jast issued, Mr. Inslis, the consul at Copen-
hagen, says the Hull, (Eog.) News, who has already pub-
lished an interesting report on dairy farms in Denmark, de
scribes a new system of state butter shows recently organized
in that country by the director of the dairy section of the
Danish Agricultural Department. The fault of the old shows
was that they were not of much practical benefit in encour-
aging the production of tirst class butter or in effectually
tracing faults of manufactore to their source. The new
plan has the support of a large number of dairies, dairy ex-

Eerts, and leading butter merchants all over the country.
ts principal features are: (I) A continuous batter show at
the expense of the State during several months of each year.
(2) Here fresh sampler of butter will be received every
fourteen days. Thus there will be two distinct tt stings, not
only of quality but also of weight. (3) The samples are to
be sent immediately on tbe receipt of a letter or telegram, so
that the dairymen will not be able to make a special cask
for exhibition, and the samples are to be repeated as often as
required. (4) Competing dairies must send in a return of
the feeding system generally followed on the farm, with
special reference to the week during which the samples are
sent in. At present the number of dairies entered is 360.
Nine judges have been selected, and. these act in groups of
three each, each group recording an independent opinion on
each sampl«, which is checked by thoie of the other two
groups. Each group will consist of two butter merchants
and one dairy expert. The exhibitors are paid the usual
market rate for their exhibits. The show will be held at in-
tervals of a fortnight durirjg eight months of the year, and
the government grant during the current financial year is
£1 350. As the same dairy will send in butter several times
in the course of the year, great facilities will be afforded for
ascertaining which are the best managed dairies, and it will
then be seen where the art of butter making may best be
learned. The report concludes by reproducing a series of
qaestions in regard to dairy management put to the mana-
gers of competing dairies.

Some Advantages of Dehorning.

Whatever we may think iu the matter of removing the
horns from cattle when considered from a humane stand-
point, we must admit that there are great advantages to be
gained, 6ays Field and Farm. First, it disarms the vicious
ball of the weapons with which he kills humans. Second, it
provides that the quarreling brutes shall live in harmony
together. Third, it makes it possible for the weaker ones to
live among the stronger ones and to obtain their full share of
the feed when in pens or inclosures. There are many reasons
in favor of removing the horns, and but a single one against
it — that of humanity.

Mr. MoTse of the Windsor Farm, with his hundred head of
pure-bred dehorned Holsteins, says it has added §50 each to
their real value. This from tbe fact that they dwell in peace
together and require much less feed, since none is wasted in
fighting and trampling over it. Every cow gets to the water
troughs without being gored, and each gets its needed sup-
ply. There U peace and harmony in the stables. The man-
agement of the Broadmoor dairy dehorned 200 steers to leed
for the shambles last fall, and found great benefit from the
absence of the horns, since there was a uniform gain in flesh
with all of the cattle feeding, and not one maimed or killed,
and they went to the market unbruisea and unscarred.

The greatest benefit from dehorning we have yet to speak
of. Wiih its introduction in the feeding districts of the WeBt
it has reduced the labor expense of taking care of cattle fully
one-half. Two men will now take care of the number of
cattle that, before dehorning, required three or four. Under
the modern regimu there are no stanchions required or no
tying up in the barns. The dehorned brutes can be kept in
moderately small pens and under sheds, nor be chained like
wild beasts that destroy one another. Stalls in which to
fasten and feed c.ittle will be unnecessary in the future.
Close sheds and small corrals will be the style for cattle feed-
ing.

Proposed Introduction of American Store Cat-
tle Into Scotland.

North British Agriculturist (May 7): A public meeting
called by the lord provost was held in Dundee yesterday for
the purpose of taking steps toward securing the introduction
of United States cattle into this country. There was a large
attendance of farmers from the district. Alter the lord pro-
vost opened the proceedings, Mr. Andrew Hutcheson, in
moving the first resolution, said that the importation of store
cattle from Canada had proved so successful in Glasgow and
Aberdeen that be hoped Dundee would get a share of the
traffic. It was difficult, however, to make the scheme pay
unless they could manage to carry along with them the im-
portation of store cattle from tbe Uoited States as well as
from Canada. TheBe cattle were forbidden because of the ex-
istence of pleuro in some of the Eastern States. He did not
think there was a sufficient reason for prohibiting these cat-
tle to be sent to thi3 country except under the condition of
compulsory slaughter on arrival. Pleuro was not liBe tbe
cattle plague; it could be controlled. Moreover, many peo-
ple were skeptical as to the prevalence of pleuro, and he
read a letter from Prof. Williams of Edinburg, in which he
stated that he had examined thousands of United States cat-
tle, and in no instance did he discover any sign of pleuro-
pneumonia contagion. These cases of supposed pleuro were
merely cases of lung disease, brought on by exposure, and
not of an infections nature. These testimonies, Mr. Hutche-
son added, ought to carry great weight and cause the govern-
ment to look carefully into the question. Canadian cattle
were a limited commodity, but States cattle were practically
unlimited, and what they required was free trade in cattle
with a reasonable amount of precaution against the introduc-
tion and spread of disease. Dundee was deeply interested
in this question, because the removal of the restrictions on
American cattle would give a great stimulus to the cattle
companies and would set them on their feet and add £2 a
head to tbe value of every cattle beast in America. It would
do good also to the farmers, for although it would bring down
the price of beef, raw material would be cheaper. He was
certain the American cattle were freer from disease than Irish
cattle. He moved — -'That this meeting, representing the
town council and harbor trustees of Dundee, and farmers

and others in this and neighboring counties interested, are
6trongly of opinion that it would be in the interests of apri
culturists and the community generally that permission
should now be granted for the importation of States cattle,
on the same conditions as at present exist in regard to Cana-
dian cattle, with such reasonable precautions as may be
deemed necessary by the authorities."

Mr. A. Whitton of Couston, Baid he would go upon the
principle of free trade. So long as this country was made
the hunting ground not only of the natural but also of the
artificial productions of other countries, it was unfair that
agriculturists should not have an opportuniiy of getting raw
material on the same terms. It was far from being a fair
trade that fat cattle could be brought into this country, and
poured, as it were, into the beef market, while they were pre-
vented from going to the like market to supply their legiti-
mate wants in the same way as other countries did. If they
had got as many diseased cattle from Canada as they had
from Ireland, Canada would have been shut out long ago.

The resolution was then adopted.

Salt Every Day.

Dairy cattle should have access to salt every day, and salt
should be added to all their stable feed. A series of experi-
ments has convinced me that when cows are denied salt for
a period of even one week they will \ield from 14i to 17£
per cent less milk, and that of an inferior quality. Such
milk will on an average turn sour in twenty-four hours less
time than milk drawn from the same or similar cows receiv-
ing salt, all other conditions of treatment being equal. Com-
fortable quarters are indispensable to the health and well be-
ing of cows. Stables during the winter should have a tem-
perature constantly within the range of from 40 to 55 degrees
Fahr. In summer time a shade should be provided in the
pasture fields, or adjacent thereto, to protect against the
bristle making influence of Jnly and August suns. In all
the management of cows such conditions Bhould be provided
and snoh care given as will insure excellent health and
apparent contentment. When practicable, milkirg should
be done by tbe same person with regularity as to time. He
only that hath clean hands should be allowed to milk a cow.
I say "he" because I think the men of the farm should do
all the milking, at least during the winter months. I have
exercised the right of changing my mind on that subject
since I left the farm. It is no more difficult to milk with
dry hands than with them wet. It is certainly more cleanly,
and leaves the milk in a much more desirable condition for
table use or manufacture. Pure stable atmosphere is indis-
pensable to prevent contamination from that source. Im-
mediate straining will remove impurities which otherwise
might be dissolved to the permanent injuiy of the whole
product. — Oraoge Judd Farmer.

Shorthorns for Milk or Beef.

The handsomest and most showy form for a Shorthorn
cow includes a broad as well as deep chest, full crops, fore
ribs so ronnd as to leave no depression behind the shoulders;
a straight line along the back end of the rump; wide be-
tween the buckle bones, and well developed quarters. This
is tbe be3t shape for making beef. For milk, the chest
Bhould be deeper and not so broad, fore ribs rather flat and
long, crops less foil than for beef, and the quarters quite
broad, so that in looking at her in front her body will ap-
pear decidedly wedge-shaped, the larger end to the rear.
But even thus formed, when dried off. a Shorthorn cow will
fatten quickly and cheaply, and make a good carcass of a fine
quality of beet. Occasionally ote of beef shape — that is,
about aB foil in front as rear, and rather fat — proves a great
milker of a highly excellent quality, like some Holstein-
Friesians. Many of those latter seem to have changed their
nature in Ameriea, yielding richer milk generally than in
Holland, and yet of a very abundant quality. No doubt
this change is owing to the difference of climate and quality
of food.

The summers in Holland are cool and wet and in Northern
America comparatively hot'and dry, with drier and more
frosty winters, and the graBR of our meadows is less rank
and succulent. These have much influence in giving quan-
tity and quality to milk and also in the formation of flesh.
Still, the difference in breeds of cattle is paramount, and the
animaU should be chosen from such as excel in what is most
desired by the breeder to produce.— Ex.

Pure bred Cattle for Humbolt.

Peter Saxe & Son have for many yeirs been well known as
importers of the purest and best strains of cattle in Califor-
nia". Last year Ira Kuss, Humbolt Co., procured through
Messrs. Saxe eight head of grandly bred Hereford?, and was
so pleased with them that under his instructions they sent last
Saturday a splendid five year old cow and a ten month old
heifer calf to join the herd. On "Wednesday the same firm
shipped a four year old Jersey Bull — Major Bagstock 18993
A. J. C. C, to Mr. Jas. Roberts of Humbolt.

Characteristics of the Cheshire Hog.

In the admirable articles of Colonel Curtis on "Swine
Breeding," he gives quite an extended history of the devel-
opment of the Cheshire, but does not give their peculiarities;
so that one who had never seen them would know little of
the difference between them and the other breeds. I give
briefly their points of superiority:

1. Early maturity; at nine months or under the Cheshire,
on tbe average, will outweigh any other breed. Tbe best
weights I can vouch for are the following: A litter of seven,
killed when exactly niue months and one day old, averaged
406 pounds. One pig, from a litter from which the best ones
were shipped, butchered when eight months and fourteen
days old, dressed, 416 ponnds— forty pounds of fat were
taken from the entrails, which, if counted, would make
dressed weight 456 pounds, Of course, these are exception-
al weights, but good pigs, well cired for, should easily aver-
age 300 pounds or more at nine months. Half blood pigs
from Cheshire boars will grow a* well as the full-bloodB. It
is young pork that pays, considering feed consumed, and it
brings a better price.

2. Quality of flesh— The Cheshire gives a larger proportion
of lean meat than other hog 5 Lean is worth more than fat.
To energize the active, nervous Yankee, lean, not fat is
needed. The flesh is fine-grained and so of the beat quality.
The fat meat ia solid, not soft and lardy, like that of some
breeds. Feed a Cheshire and a small Yorkshire on like food
and the Cheshirelwill give much the larger pruportion of lean.
These two qualities make the hog for the butcher as well as
for home use.

3. Docility— No hog is more easily handled. Children get
into the pen with the sow to play with the little pigs. At
fan-owing time, if weather is cold, a blanket is thrown over
tbe sow, and, as the little fellows arrive, they are put under
the blanket by the udders. In a few minutes the pigs are
dry, warm and fighting for choice of position. The great
loss of pigB at farrowing-time comes from their beiDg chilled
before they get dry. I notice some writers claim that hogs
with erect ears are not as qu;et as those with lopped ears.
This rule, if it may be so-called, is utterly refuted by the
Cheshire, which is the most docile hog in existence.— E. W.
Davis in New York Tribune.

Southdown s.

An influential meeting of Southdown breeders was lately
held bt the .Royal Agricultural Hall, Islington, for the pur-
pose of establishing a society for promoting the interests of
the breed; also for conducting Borne syhtem of registration.
There was a unanimous opinion that a society should be
established and a register commenced. It was generally
allowed that while for the home trade in Soutbduwns, the
reputation of the breed might be sufficient; jet that foreign
buyers unacquainted with individual flockB, look tor a record.
Unless, indeed, a register was established, the foreign
trade wa3 found to be Beriouely curtailed. It appears the
movement in the direction alluded to had already produced
an influence for good in bringing together many of the lead-
ing llockowners, who will find that in union there is strength,
and that there are numerous ways in which the interests of
the breed can be promoted by combination for that purpose.
♦

Sheep.

No man is qualified for a shepherd who is not gentle in all
his ways— a gentleman, remarks Galen Wilson, in N Y.
Tribune. Some are born sheepmen, some acquire skill in
handling sheep; others are poison to the race. Grain pro-
ducing farms grow poorer every year; sheep farms increase
in fertility. The 6heep crop suffers less by drouth than any
other animal or vegetable. Breeding for the most wool to
light carcasses is poor policy — there is no reason for sacrific-
ing fleece qualities in carcass improvement. Onecrossupon
pure Merino ewes by compact-bodied, close-wooled rams is
usually of advantage, but cross upon cross will deteriorate
the flock.

A good constitution combined with mutlon and wool qual-
ities, makes the perfect sheep. The breed that can give best
return for care and feed is the proper breed to keep, and ex-
perience proves the Merino to be the winner in the race for
money. Tbe foot disease does not originate on high, dry
ground, and animals affected with it recover spontaneously
when removed from low to high land. Sheep moved from
the limestone soil of the North to tbe sands of tbe South
generally "die acclimating." Northern crosses upon the na-
tives is the only way to secure desirable flocks there. Some
flockmasters in a "Western county have adopted heroic treat-
ment of sheep-killing dogs. They feed their sheep pieces cf
beefsteak sprinkled with a solution of strychnine, and what
tbe sheep leave the dogs consume, "and nobody's to blame."
Horns on sheep are in the way all the time. Fewer can be
coiralled or folded in the same space or fed at the same time;
they gouge out each others eyes, and a punch in the abdo-
men often causes abortion in ewes. Horna are a terror to
the Bhearer, and valuable feed is consumed to produce the
worse than useless appendages. Horns on lambs are pre-
vented by excising *'the buttons," as with calves, but the hu-
mane way is to breed the horns off. There will be muley
ram-lambs among most horned breeds, and by use of such a
Western shepherd had last season 500 muley ram-lambs out
of 800. and be expects lo succeed iu breeding off all horns
horns and establishing a polled Merino breed.

Trials of the Range Sheep Man.

It takes more brain, more energy, more foresight, Bays
Charles Crane, of Utah, to run sheep than any other live
stock; they must be constantly under the eye of the shep-
herd.

Ranges must be looked up, water piped, dng out and
trougbed, dipping, shearing and lambing looked after and
prepared for.

Salt mubt be packed on the range, pack saddles, wagon
and tent repaired; horses shod; supplies purchased; herders
looked after; rams taken out and herded and fed, and often
purchased; old ewes and poor lambs culled out, and sold;
hay and grain looked after, for teams and rams in fall and
winter; corrals repaired, etc.

His days are busy, and his nights are restless. The sheep
are seldom corraled, and he knows when the moon is up, the
flock is apt to move. When the wind blows, they will seek
shelter behind a hill if near. He must sleep with one eye
and ear open. A constant source of anxiety pervades bis
son!.

Often during tbe storms of winler he is up for days and
nights, getting his sheep where they v. ill not be snowed in.
Often when driving to shelter, he glances around and sees,
as far as the eyes can reach, a waste of snow; he Btruggles
on with his flock, until they bunch and refuse to move, he
camps, feeds his team, and perhaps without a tree in Bight,
or brush large enough to bam, gees supperless to bed, or
watches his flock all night. In the morning bis team is
gone, his feet, although well wrapped up, are frozen, the
storm continues for days, without a soul in sight; cold, mis-
erable, hnngry and wet, be walks around tbe flock and when
the storm ceases, he finds he has lost twenty per cent, per-
haps fifty per cent of his entire flock, the result of years of
toil, labor and privation.

Is it strange we sometimes hear of a splendid shepherd
committing suicide? The constant strain and anxiety, for
safety of this flock, weighs heavily upon him, and tbe splen-
did phyeique and active brains give way, and in a moment
of despondency, a fla-h, and a bullet ends a life.

If any one thinks it is lots of fan, and all profits to run
sheep, permit me to disabuse his mind.

More failures have occurred than in any other business
having tbe same amount of capital invested.

The causes lor this are asnumerons as their sheep — drouth,
storms, poison weed, low price of wool, floods, etc., are tbe
principal ones; what effects one section, does not another.
It is only strong willed, determined, energetic men, who are
in the business to stay, who will not be kept down; if they
lose fifty per cent this season they keep oo hoping lo weather
tbe BtormB next season. — Montana Stock Journal.

TURF AND TRACK

an has left Dave Pulsifer aud will .'ride in the "West.

There is some trLlk of a match between Palo Alto and
Jack.

Mr. Valensih ib visiting Bartlett Springs, and his health is
rapidly improving.

Charles Ingalls, who has been with Hiram Woodruff some
years, has goDe to Montana to tbe Sawyer ranch.

An old man named Tnohy, who once looked after the cel-
ebrated Harkaway, died at tbe Cnrragh recently.

W. S. Vosburgh has been appointed official handieapper
fct Monmontb, and will also officiate as third judge.

Hugh Kirkendall. Heleoa, Montana, lost last week by
death a Buckling colt, fall brother to the speedy Daniel B.

Cassius made all the running in tbe Suburban and oame
very near putting off the double event for the Beverwyck
stable.

The only standard bred filly by Allerton got caught in a
barbed, wire fence at Independence, la , and had to be de-
stroyed.

Garrison had a close shave when Brother Ban dropped
dead on the track last week bat luckily the rider was not
injured.

Ed. A. Tipton. Secretary of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeder's Association, was appoiuted receiver for the stallion
Bed "Wilkes.

The Directors of the Red Bluff race track will have new
stables, fences, and other necessaries completed before the
meeting in AuguBt.

T. H Williams, Jr., left last Friday for Chicago. The Un-
dine Stable will probably start several horses at the Wash-
ington Park meeting. _^__^^

George Baldwin — Lucky Baldwin's nephew — left last week
for Washington Park, Chicago, to take the management of
the Santa Anita Stable.

F. B. Baldwin, the Fresno race track manager, is tuperin-
tending tbe improvements at the Coronado Beach track, and
will be manager of both tracks.

Gen. W. H. Jackson last week purchased from Judge
Howell F. Jackson his half interest in the 'Belle Meade stud,
and is now the sole owner of the famous breeding establish-
ment.

Although the New York Jockey Club has a very strict rule
in regard to owners carrying their proper colors, yet hardly
a day passes but some horses carry the colors of other
stables.

It is confidently expected that the half mile and repeat at
the Coronado Beach track on the Fourth of July will be very
iot-resting. Already half a dozen horses are in training, in-
cluding John Treat.

John Williams one of the oldest trotting drivers in the
state is educating some of the Kancho Del Paso horses,
atnoug others is the Antevolo — Mabel colt who is one of the
handsomest in California.

The Morris Bros, seem satisfied with their trial of the Sir
Modred's judging by their purchase of the Carissima and
Preciosa colts. We like their display of judgment. Both
should prove raoe horses.

Huntress will never be able to race again. She will be
saved for breeding purposes. Among the horses reported
killed are Climax, Brown Duke, Little Minnie, Cruiser, Ger-
manic and Banner Bearer.

Isaac Murphy is in great form just now. He rode a

grand race on Burlington in the Trial States at Westchester,

while last Tuesday he eclipsed himself when he rode his
magnificent finish on Salvator.

George Leavitt has sold Early Bird for $10,000, and
matched Fanny Slope, a four year old mare, bv Florida,
against Andy Welch's Directress by Dictator, for $500 a side,
over the Mystic Park track in September.

Marcus Daly, who bought the most of the Sir Modreds,
should have a good one in Embroidery's son. The Lulu filly
which he bought, is tbe most beautiful creature fa racehorse
all over) in the lot. She is the image of Firenzi.

Mr. L. N. Salmon, who has had several years' experience
as assistant secretary of several courses, intends to write a
book on the management of race tracks. This work will no
doubt prove interesting to the publio and valuable to offi-
cials.

Alex. Sweeton returned to Salinas from San Luis Obispo
last week, bringing with him a black yearling filly by Altoo-
na, dam by Venture 2:27. The youngster will be put in
training for the yearling trotting race at the Salinas Fair
this fall.

Inspector B, after his strvice in the Btud at Erdenheim,
where he covered about thirty mares, has been returned to
the Dwyers' stables, and will be prepared for racs later in
the season. He will doubtless make his debut for the season
at Monmouth Park.

The Sire Bros., New York, have bought of P. P. Johnston
the running qualities of Lady Ban 3 by King Ban — Ladylike
and three two year-old fillies— Sunflower by Lelaos— Smilax,
Tulip by Powhatlan— Hazel Kirke, and an unnamed one by
Favor out of Sophy.

Mr. Hamilton Smith bought the Darebin — Tulare colt.
This colt will make his bow to the public across tbe water.
In our mind, if there were one colt in the hundred, we would
rather choose this as that one. At $5. 100 he should be cheap
for the English turf.

William Hendrickson of Paichen fame is seriously thinking
of taking a stable of trotters to Tar-oma and possibly inter-
viewing some of the Montana tracks with his trotters, prom-
inent among which is a son of Nutwood who shows great
premise; James Linden will drive.

B. McBride tbe owner of Major Daly was ordered on June

P' b to take all his horses from Morris Park. McBride need

jry indecent insulting language in front of the club house

i *'ilo denouncing the management for putting up Hamilton

in ihe Major Daly — Watterson race.

Mrs. Barnhardt, the owner of Lou, dam of Axtell, says the
name "Can't-Tell" was selected previously to the birth of
the sister to Axtell as appropriate to either sex, and a signi-
ficant answer to the speculative enquiries of visitors as to
the future possibilities of the yonngster.

Captain Anderson, San Gabriel, Los Angeles, is one of the
recent additions to the long list of California racing men;
Besides Four Aces and Sir Ladd, he has several youngsters,
and it is his intention to purchase some yearlings and two
year olds to represent him on the track.

At the Haggin sale, Pierre Lorillard could not let Katrine's
colt pass him. The mare's trial with Ponliac before ho won
the Suburban was enough to convince him about her-^she
could give him weight aud beat him shoes to plates. Mr.
Lorillard paid $6,000 for tbe Darebin colt.

Col. H I Thornton's two-year-old colt Austrian by Dare-
bin out of Bavaria, injured himself iu his box stall at Sacra-
mento a few days ago, and it is said he will never be able to
race. The youngster was a big overgrown colt, butassnredly
would not have disgraced bis high lineage.

On Tuesday D. S. Simmons, acting under Dr. Hamlin's
instructions will sell at auction seven head of trotting and
running bred horses at Agricultural Park, Sacramento.
They are pet of such well known stallions as Brigadier 2:214,
and the well known race horse Joe Hooker.

Soprano, by Strathmore 408, dam Abbess, by Albion, was
foaled in 1875, and Bhe is the youngest brood mare that has
three representatives in the 2:30 list- She is the dam of C.
F. Clay, 2: IS; Eminence, 2:IS£, and Slrathbridge 2:28J, all
by different sires. She is the dam of two 2:20 trotters.

People who ongbt to know say: ''The Walton will never
bet again. He is an old man now, although h6 does not
look it, and has a large family. It is believed he still has
$300,000 he salted away in bonds when he came back from
his English triumphs; he should have for he left there in
debt.

E. M. Kies. of Cambria, Hillsdale county, Mich , has sold
to Dr. W. S. Hall, of Grand Rapids, Mich., for $2,000, the
yearling filly by St. Bel, 2:24£, by Electioneer; dam Belle K.
by Masterlode. Mr. Kies paid §1,200 for Belle K. as a year-
ling, and as this is her first foal it was quite a profitable in-
vestment.

May 4th, at Allen Farm, Roaina by Belmont, out of Mii-s
Russell, dam of Maud S , 2:0S| , foaled a chestnut colt by
Lancelot, brother of Prospero, 2:20; Eliine, 2:20; Dame Trot,
2:22, aud Elista, 2:22*. Rusioa is a full Bister to Nutwood,
and Lancelot is the youngest eon of Green Mountain Maid,
dam of Electioneer.

As Pierre Lorillard bought the best of the Darebins — with
one exception— and Marcus Daly and the Morris Bros, the
Sir Modreds — in such hands these fine colts should show us
what the Australian stallions can do. We can say from obser-
vation of the three lots of yearlings sold, that this last is a
truly representative one.

Burlington is, says a sporting authority, a perfect gentle-
man, his color — black — adding to his appearance. He has a
small bloodlike head, with beautiful sloping shoulders, grand
back ribs, and powerful hindquarters. His forelegs appear
lig t below the knee, but one never saw a black horse yet who
did not look lighter than he really wa«.

There were no sensational prices at the Rancho Del Paso
sale in New York, but priceB all round were good. The ab-
sense of the Dwyers of course made a good deal of difference
in some of the sales; Dew Drop's siBter, for instance, would
most certainly have taken their fancy, and if she does not
prove a clinker there is nothing in looks and breeding.

For $4000 cash and $1000 iu future winnings W. W. Fraz-
er, of Cvnthiaoa, Ky., sold to J. F. Williams, of Emi-
nence, Ky., and the Bashford Manor stables, Julia Magee, cb.
f., three years old, by Springbok, dam Bayadere, by King
Alfonso. Julia Magee ran second to English Lady for the
Latonia Oaks and is with the exception of tbe Lady, one of
the best 3 year old fillies in the West.

After making a thorough examination of EI Rio Rey, a
veterinarian advised Mr. Winters to tafte the unbeaten cbam-
piou out of training, and it is now understood El Rio Rey
will be shipped shortly to California to enter the Btud. The
authority who pronounced on his ailment says none of his
foes need worry over prospective meetings with this great
crack — that El Rio Rey has run his last race.

James Golden has twenty five horses in his stables at Mys-
tic. They are unusually good ones, and include the Stam-
boul fillv, who was out of Del Fav, by Del Sur, Fearnaugbt
2:19}, Arab 2:15, Molly J. 2;22£, EmmiE 2:22|, Daisy R.
2:25.V, R. R. H. 2:23J-, Maria Legacy, 2:29], Shep Knapp 2:37,
by Kentucky Prince, Sweethriar 2:36.}, H. B. Winship 2:20^,
and Backman Maid 2:25^. Bard Palmer is there, and the
boy6 are all busy.

The crusade against pool rooms and the bookmakers of
New York is said to have driven away hundreds of dollars to
Long Island City, as a proof of which merchants, cigar
makers, barbers, saloon and restaurant keepers who did bus-
iness in the vicinity of the pool rooms claim that their busi-
ness has fallen off' 20 per cent, by the closing of the pool
rooms in New York.

William Hendrickson who brought Washington and George
M. Patchen Jr. to this state, says that all that ever was, or
will be, known of the former was that he was by Geo. M.
Patchen Jr., dam said to be an Abdallah mare. Washington
was raised near him and his dam was well known and
said to be an Abdallah but even that was doubtful; she was
an exceptionally tine looking mare but could not be traced.

Mr. J. D. Sproul, fthe courteous secretary of the third
Agricultural district, has sent us several eutry blanks for
their fair in Chico beginning on August 26th. Entries close
with the secretary on August 1st. Chico is always popular
with horsemen — 'twas there Goldsmith Maid trotted threo
heats in 2:19J, 2:14 J and 2:17 A, and a good eutry should re-
sult; both runners and trotters are provided for.

Surefoot. tbe winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, and
who was such a red hot favorite for the Derby, has a pecu-
liar pedigree, his sir« Wisdom being by Biinkhoolie (a ami of
Rataplan) out of Aline by Stockwell {brother to Rataplan).
His dam is by Galopin out of Miss Foote by Orlando, out of
Gossamer by Birdcatcher, thus giving Surefoot four Bird-
catcher crosses aud two of Touchstone — through Orlando, a
son and Aline'e dam a granddaughter of Touohstone.

Byron McClelland won a very popular victory in the
Eclipse Stakes at Westchester with his good filly Sallie Mc-
Clelland. Messrs. Morris started their crack RusboII, also
Reckon and Dr. Hasbronck, evideotly intending to corral all
tbe money in sight. Russell and Sallie drew away from the
field, and after a hard race the mare won by a head. The
value of the race to the winner was $23* ,675. Mutnals paid
$59.20 on the winner, who is exceptionally highly bred, be-
ing by Hindoo out of fied and Blue, by Alarm out of Maggie
B. B., (the dam of Iroqoois) by Australian.

The first plunger developed this season on the
turf, the racing sharps say, is Jack McDonald, the
bookmaker, who is reported to have won $50,000 on
Daisy Woodruff. "Pittsburg Phil" has gone in for steady
profits and is backing at least two books, besides making his
own outside ventures. He &till follows his peculiar style of
betting heavily on long shots, backing a horse with 10 to 1
against him as freely as be would an even chance. He does
not seem, indeed, to care to take less than a 10 to 1 chance,
but on account of his being in with two bookmakers, he is
no longer considered a plunger.

"I went out to Morris Park the day Tenny won his low
race," said a gentleman, "and the touts actually made life a
burden to me. They swarm about a stranger in the betting
ring like carrion crows over a carcass, and they are almost as
bold. Most of them borrow a dollar to go out to the (rack,
and there they prey upon the public without a particle of
justification. What do you think of having a dozen coarse,
ill-smelling fellows, whom you have never seen, slap yoo on
the back and offer confidence in tbe pure goodness of their
hearts to let you in to a good thing ? I think the manage-
ment should have police to look after them."

Hon Charles H. Lngrin, Secretary for Agriculture, Pro-
vince of New Brunswick, states that the government more
than once refused $15,000 for Conn's Harry WilkeB, but the
horse has more than paid for himself, and is doing most val-
uable service to the trotting horBe breeding interests of the
Province. He is also drawing business from the border
States. Aurora, hrotber to Aristos, 2:27^, which was pur-
chased as a representative Morgan, is satisfying his patrons
by imparting style and speed to his colts. The handsomest
and fastest juvenile in his class at the Moncton Fair last fait
was got by Aurora.

Buvers of pools at the local trotting and pacing meetings
near New York complain that they often find it difficult to
get a chance to invest their money on an apparently good
thing owing to tbe fact that tbe poolseller himself has some
one outside buying for him. This Sb altogether wrong and
is an imposition upon the public. The poolseller gets 3 per
cent, of every bet made, and that is enough. When betting
privileges are sold by associations it should be distinctly
understood that the men who conduct the business should
not bny pools themselves, either directly or by agents. A
man in tbe pool box with the betting thf-et before him, and
the knowlege of how owners and drivers are placing their
money, has a big advantage o?er the ordinary ectator.

The Little New EDgland pacer Allen Maid, who last season
made a record of 2:161 and equalled it the first time she
started this year, was driven ou the snow all winter by her
owner, who lives in New Hampshire. His system, according
to a local paper, was to jog the mare a few miles in the morn-
ing, and in the afternoon go out on the drive and clean out
the boys. Ibis work Beems to have done her good, and
indeed it is becoming the general opinion of horsemen that
if trotters and pacers are wintered in a Bection of the country
where there is good sleighing for a number of weeks, it does
tbem no harm to indulge in a brush down the road now and
then. Of conrse no horse that is expected to do battle on
the turf tbe following summer wants to be raced ou the snow
all winter, but there is no harm in a little speeding.

John S. Clark, of New Brunswick, will campaien Sadie D.»
yearling record 2:35£; Presto, yearling record 2:41^. two-vear"
old 2:25£. Th^ latttr has been placed in the hands of Mr-
Dickerson, the man who drove him to his rpcord of 2:25*.
Grit Davis will have charge of Sadie D. Presto's first en-
gagement is at Chicigo, and the first important engagement
of Sadie D. wi I be in the stakes of the Northwestern
Breeder's Association, at Detroit. This is a great pair. Mr.
Clark affirms with much emphasis that Pr. sto will take a
mark of 2:15 this year. '*My disposition," Mr. Clark Baid,
(,is rather to underestimate tbe speed of my horses, but I feel
enthusiastic over the performances of these two youngsters,
having seen them move." Mr Clark has just returned from
Kentucky, and while there was treated to an exhibition with
which he was much gratified.

A curious incident happened in the Wickersley Hurdle
Race atRotherham, England, in May. Gladstone was weighed
<->ut for by Savage, and his number was hoisted, but subse-
quently A. Nightingall arrived to Tide tbe boree, and having
obtained the permission of one of the stewards he weighed
out, and Savage's name was taken down. Gladstone (who
had been made favorite) accordingly went to tbe post, but
the stewards then ruled that Nightingall could not ride the
horse, as he had not weighed ont in time, aud a messenger
was sent to bring him back to the paddock, when it was
then decided that the horse should not run. A meeting of
the stewards was then held to coosider whether the horse
had been nnder the starter's orders or uot, and they decided
that Gladstone was not under tbe starter'B orders, and all
bets made on the horse were declared off.

The Suburban last Tuesday was productive of a grand
race, the nine starters all being well known crack perform-
ers. CasBius made alt the pace with Strideway, Longstreet
and Salvator, three lengths back until the stretch was
reached when Murphy on Salvator gradually closed up, and
in a close finish beat CasBius by a neck. Time, 2:06 4 5.

Jimmy Goldsmith is driviog as maD rarely did before He
stole a race with Plosh in the 7th heat at AlbaDy, N. Y. —
on the 10th from Burke behind Yorktown Belle, the latter
being beaten half a length by superior driving.

McCann & Bowman, Fairlawn Farm, Lexington, Ky.( have
sold to Schmulback & Park, Wheeling, W. Va., the bay filly
Lady McGregor, 2 years old, by Bed Wilkes, dam by Robert
McGregor, for $2 000. Also two yearling fillies by Red
■Wilkes out of mares by Star ilniont, for $1,250 each.

John E. Turner, known as the great strategist of the tarf,
has Mb own peculiar way of doing business; and the problem
to be solved when he is in a race is not if be is going to lose ,
but whether he will win. When the "General" is ready to
go to the front he puts an order in the pool box on his horse,
and the talent a.e then sure tbey will get a good drive for
their money, but it would nonplus the Delphic oracla to de-
termine jast when Tamer is ready to cut loose in some
instances. As a rule he is silent as the grave about the
merits of bis flyers and even the owner is frequently kept in
the dark as to what the veteran schemer is about to do. The
redeeming feature about. Turner is that be is manly and
straightforward on the track, trusting to hiB strategio ability
to carry him through. If he gets caught with a sleeper it is
not necessary to take him out of the silky for the assurance
that he will win if possible is to be relied on.

When C. W. "Williams, of Axtell fame, began his career as
abreeder, he made a grand coup by sending three mares to
Kentucky, one to William L , and Axtell was the result, and
he sold the colt last Autumn for $105,000; the second was
sent on a vi»it to Jay Bird, and Bhe dropped Allerton,
2:1S£, who was one of the three-year-old sensations of last
year; the third one gave him a son of Onward, who is now
doing good work in the stud. This year his hick has been
of the opposite character. Ont of four mares bred to William
L„ last season by him he has not a living foal. Two of the
mares slipped, one foaled a dead filly, and the last of the
quartette, Atoka by Jay Bird, dam by Denver Wilkes, foaled
a filly which died two days later. In the great lottery of
breeding it was fortunate tor the young Iowa breeder that he
drew his prizes on the first investment. He can well afford
to smile at this year's bad luck.

Goldsmith Maid, to accomplish what she did, had to be
"an earnest trotter." She was always driven without blinds
and never had her feet loaded with toe weights. Even in her
most desperate contests, the b-inds of mnsic and the cheers
from the myriad spectators, aul the rush and ontention of
fields of rival i never disconcerted her. She trotted every
inch of the mile to win, and whtn a throat-latch only was
needed to land her a winner she would stretch out her neck
like a wild goose to place her nose first across the goal. lu
her genuine contests with Rhode Island, American Girl,
George Wilkes, Occident, George Palmer and many other
trotting celebrities, she not only evinced the steadiness of
nerves and the strength of her courage, but the remarkable
intelligence of her brain. Inbreeding never injured her per-
formances, nor disgraced her behavior under the severest or-
deals.

There is no reason at all to doabt that, if some well-known
sportsmen were to patronize trotting, that form of amuse-
ment wonld.says the Field, very speedily occupy a ninre prom-
inent position than it has ever yet done. In Eogland, no
less than in Ameiica, there is an intimate connection between
the trotter and the every-day harness horse; and that is one
of the reasons assigned for the popularity of trotting on the
other side. The match trotter is to the ordinary harness
horse what the steeplechaser is to the hunter; and the Ameri-
cans take up with the former as readily as with the latter-
Hir-am Woodruff claimed for his countrymen that they had
"a paragon of the animal which is already the wonder of the
world, and which, from the familiar, affectionate, and uni-
versal use made of him on this continent, has already be-
come an Ameri an commercial product of vast importance
and proportions. The English have had the stock all along
as well as ourselves; but it is our method of cultivation and
our perseverance that has made the difference between their
fast trotter of a mile in three minutPB, and ours of a mile in
two minutes and a half" — he might have Baid 2 min. 8| Bee.
had he been alive at the time the famous Madd S. accom-
plished her memorable feat.

Said Frank Eames of Bay Ridge: "I remember once when
in California in the earlv days that the legislature adjourned
for the purpose of attending the four-mile race between Nathan
Coombs' horse, Ashland, andLathrop's Langford. This was
probably the only instance on record in America where a
legislative body adjourned for the express and acknowledged
purpose of attending a horse-race. Still everybody knows
that from a time beyond which the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary th« English parliament has adjourned
every year for the express purpose of attending the Derby.
When Lord Paknerston was prime minister he always made
the motion himself, and made a nice little speech. It is true
he did not call it ahorse race, but alluded to it in classic
phrase as '. 'our isthmian games, " bat they knew what gameB
he was up to.

Yep," said Milliard Sanders, "but I can tell you some-
thing better than that. Daring reconstruction days in South
Carolina, when there was that famous negro legislation which
made hiBtory with the bottom rail on top, the legislature
not only adjourned for a horse-race, but when the sport
was over it appropriated money ont of the State treasury to
pay the debts lost by the members.— New York Star.

The manner in which the fourth estate is represented in
the various jockey clubs is Bomewhat surprising. The Turf,
Field and Farm says "the genial Mr. H. D. Mclntyre,
Secretary of the Bonoklyn and New Jersey olubs, is an old
npwspanfr man of varied experience Mr. Salmon, who is
clerk of the scales for the same clubs, was for many years
connected with the local presB. Mr H. G. Cnckmore, Secre-
tary of the Monmouth, made the World the recognized daily
Bporting authority for so many years that we cannot begin to
remember when "Crick" was not a competent part of that
journal. Mr. J. J. Burke, who has presided in the judges'
stand at Brighton Beach, Clifton and Gutleoburg, and who
last week left for the west to occupy a similar position at
Kansas City, Washington Park, Chicago and St. Pdul, for
years ably edited the raciDg department of a Bporting weekly,
and is at present connected with a daily. Mr. C. V. Sass,
who founded the "pink un" and still finds time to write a
column or so of in*erepting gossip for an afternoon daily, is
tbe secretary at Biigbton and Clifton and a right uood
secretary, too, as is Mr. Samuel Whitehead, of the Hud-
son Countv Jockey Clnb. And now Mr. Vosborgb joins the
long list of bright and brainy newspaper men wbo have
found congenial employment with racing institutions.

Inquiry has been made on all sides respecting the status
of Fashion stud Farm for racing materia1. The Newark Call
says: Surprise has been expressed that out of the magnificent
cootigent herded at the farm none have made their appear-
ance in the classes of the different Spring circa its. The
stakes of the State Breeders' Association, it is true, have a
large entry list from the farm, but apart from these there
have been no entries. Mr. Dnnbar attended the Decoration
day races at Waverly, und was received very warmly by his
host of friends. Good-natured, genial Tpm is always in-
teresting, and whenever he sits down for a moment on the
quarter-stretch he is sure to be the center of attraction for
those who have the greatest respect for his ability in training
and treating the trotting horse, Dunbar spoke very en-
couragingly of the condition of the stock at FaBhion. He
spoke with great enthusiasm of the work of Beulah (2:I9.V)
particularly, and predicted that when she is cut loose she
will beat the great record of Favouia. Most of the racing
stock will be campaigned this Fall.

The Clay Stakes was trotted for at Albany on June 12th.
The weather was cold, and it rained at intervals thrunghout
the day which prevented a large crowd going out to the
track. Six starters turned out for the stakes, value §3,000,
which was won in straight heats by Suisud, driven by
Turner, was forced out in 2:22£ twice by Alioante. Mr.
Valensin's Simmocoloo, driven by J. H. Goldsmith was well
backed and made a strong bid for the third heat, showing
in front up the back stretch, but left bis feet, and when
Goldsmith got him straightened out it was too late.

The racing stable most affected by the disastrous wreck on
the Wabash at "Warrenton. Mo , says the National Horse-
man, were those of F. J. Kellar and Jack Chinn, of Cyn-
ihiana, Ky. Not one of Kellar's horses escaped. His were
in the frd-nt car next the engine, and when the collision oc-
curred the car was telescoped, the engine and tender going
through it, killing the rive horses, father and son who owned
them, and four of their employes, colored. The names of
the horses were Egypt, Lige P.. Spring Dance, Turner, and
Ben Ridgely. Of Chinn and Morgan's horses Gauges, Little
Prince, St. Bridget, Oklahoma, and Leo were killed outright.
Mary McGowan and the fast filly Josie M , were taken out
alive, but badly injured and will never race again. Chinn's
stable was simply wiped out. Huntress, of the Chicago
stable, was in with the Chinn horses and she was buried
under the debris for several hours. She was too badly hurt
to ever race again, but will do as a brood mare. Hindoo-
craft, Proctor Knott. Ja Ja, and English Lady were not on
the train, as first reported. Good-by, next to Huntress and
Josie M., was tbe most famous racer in the cars, but he
was not hurt at all. The train, with its load of eight in-
jured men and the balance of the horses, got into Kansas at
three o'clock in the morning.

For some time past, says S'erling in the Melbourne Sports-
man, I have urged upon thp Victoria Racing Club, the advis-
ability of appointing an officer to act as steward at all meet-
ings within a certain distance of Melbourne, the gentleman
so appointed being paid a fixed and liberal salary by the Vic-
toria Eacing Club, which could exact a fee for his services
from each club for each meeting bo attended. Such an offi-
cer would, of course, be thoroughly cognisant of the meaning
and signification of the rules, and thus would be able to afford
the gentlemen he would become associa'ed with most valua-
ble assistance in involved or intricate issues which crop up
when least expected. He would at once be able to draw the
attention of his brother stewards for the time being to any
irregularity of procedure, or to any infraction of the rules of
racing taking place at tbe meeting held under their direction,
and at suburban meeting?, where it is daily becoming a mat-
ter of increasing difficulty to secure the attendance of compe-
tent men in the capacity of stewardship, he would be a valu-
able factor indeed. Recent decisions at Moonee Valley,
Elsternwick, and Shepparton are the strongest argument in
favor of such an addition to the staff of the Victoria Racing
Club, and such an appointment would, while relieving that
club's committee from the trouble of everlasting appeal cases,
assist the handicapper, and keep the committee fairly in-
formed as to the mode in which the meetings he attended
wire conducted.

John Splan says: -'So many older, smarter, better educa-
ted men than myself have written, lectured and said so much
about trottiDg horses that I approach the subject with very
little confidence in being able to give it any new light. The-
ories I Hnd to be all very well in books, newspapers, lectures,
etc , but when those same theories are put into actual prac-
tice they develop some unloosed for weakne°s which lets tbe
whole structure fall to the ground. The Bame 1 think can
truthfully be s-id in regard to Bhoeing a trotter. Any
knowledge that I have in the matter I have gained from ac-
tual practice tcgether with hints and pointers from men like
Mr. Robert Bonner and a few others I conld name who have
made a lifelong stady of the matter. The first thing to be
decided upon is how little weight you can possibly use in
the horse's shoe to protect the foot and at tbe same time
balance the horse so he will be able to go at his highest rate
of speed on a trot. What makes it more difficult than any-
thing else to give rules to shoe a horse by is a fact that no
two horses can be shod alike. All horses are formed differ-
enily, gnited differently, and have different dispositions. In
all the great number of horses I have bad I cannot now re-
member of any two that I shod exactly alike. I hardly think
that any one outside of an expert ever realizes how much dif-
ference it makes to a faBt horse to make his shoes a couple
of ounces heavier or lighter, but I know plenty of horses
with whom to take off or put on two ounces on each forward
foot would be enough to change tbe result of the race. Now
if this is true, and I am sure that it is, the shoeing of the
horpe is of very great importance.

"In this connection toe-weights come in play. I would
rather a horse would go without the weights than with them
The gieat trouble with toe weights is that people use them
when there is no necessity, and nine times out of ten have
them heavier than they need to be. I use toe-weights a great
deal; if 1 have a horse that has lo wear over a fourteen
ounce shoe, nolens h* has an extremely large foot. I put op a
toe weight. I think there is le«n s'rain on a horse'* leg with
a vpry light toe weight and a light ?hoe than there would be
with "the weight of shoe you would have to put on the horse
without the toe weight."

The EDfclieh Derby.

The following is tbe telegram sent to the New York papers
giving an account of Sainfoin's victory:

London, June 4.— The Derby holiday is pver, and to-
night sportsmen are wondering how they managed to over-
look Sainfoin. Very few knew how good the colt was, and so
few indeed shared in tha pulling off of the greatest race event
in the world. Sir James Miller and his party and the trainer,
John Porter, in whose name and colors the winner raD, are
credited with having made a grand coup, and wonderful
stories are told of their winnings.

Derby Day dawned with a leaden sky that was very de-
pressing to the holiday crowd, and light showers of rain fell
all the morning. The Derby course was sodden and slippery,
the turf holding the water and making the going anything
but Bafe and good. In spite of the weather there was an im-
mense attendance. The crowd looked as if half of London
and all the neighborhood people were present, and the no-
bility were out in force. The betting was tremendous.

There were but eight starters for the Derby, and. as pre-
dicted, Surefoot was a top-heavy favorite. His price at the
opening was 75 to 40 oo, and'tbat was forced to 95 to 40
when they went to the post. Sainfoin was at 7 to 1, Rath-
beal and Le Nord 14 to 1 each, Golden Gate and Kirkham
each 50 and Martagon and Orwell 100 each.

The field eathered at the High Level etarting point. The
eight were bunched and sent away at the^first effort, but it
was with the favorite, Surefoot, behind and standing almost
still when tbe others got in motion. Just before him and
behind all the others was Baron de Rothschild's Le Nord.
The Duke of Westminster's brother to Ormonde, Orwell, was
first away, and he was at once sent on to make the running.
The pace was so slow that it was little more than a gallop for
a half mile. Sainfoin was second, Watts rating him steadily
on. Liddiard, on Sarefoot, took a lot out of bis horse in
closing up the ground he lost at the start, and was at work
on the favorite when the distance was half done- Le Nord
closed up more slowly. Orwell led at the mile, eight lengths
in front of Sainfoin. Golden Gate, Rathbeal and Surefoot
next. At the hilL just before Tattenbam corner. Sainfoin be-
gan to clo^e up. Surefoot was in trouble there, but he game-
ly kept trying, though Ltddiard had alreay made too much
use of him. At the corner, where the world-famed Archer
had won so often, "Watts slipped Sainfoin up. Orwell, Le
Nord and Surefoot then set out for him. The finish lasted
throughout the straight run. For an instant all were
bunched, then Sainfoin drew away, and, with three parts of
a length between him and Le Nord, raced home under all
Watts' powerB of persuasion. He won by a short length,
Le Nord second, a neck in front of Orwell, who was a head
in front of the favorite, fourth, the others well strung out.
The summary follows:

The Epsom Derby Stakes (Illth renewal) of 5.000 sovs. for
the winner, 400 sovs. for the nominator of the winner. 300
sovb. for the owner of the second and 200 sovs. for the owner
oi the third; for colts, 9 st; for fillies, 8 st. 9 lbs.; then three
years old; by subscription of 50 sovs- each, half forfeit if de-
clared by the first Tuesday in January, 1890, and 10 sovs.
only if declared by the first Tuesday in January, 1889, and
surplus to be paid to the winner; about one mile and a half,
starting from the High Level starting post.

Golden Gate and Kirkham, 100 to 1 each Orwell and Marta-
gon.

Sainfoin, the winner, is a son of the Bushy paddock
(Hampton Court) sire Springfield, he by St. Albans, dam
Viridis, and was bred from Sanda by Sir George Man.it.
direotor of Her Majesty's stud. Sanda, Sanfoin's dam, is by
Wenlock; his grandsire is Stockwell, and her maternal great
grandam was Lady Evelyn, winner of The Oaks in 1849.
When a yearling Sainfoin was sold to Sir R. Jardine and Mr.
Porter, who raced him as a two year old. Early this spring
he was sold to Sir James Miller. As a two year old Sainfoin
started but once, then in the Astiey Stakes, five furlongs,
August 9th, at the Lewes Summer Meeting. With Sst. 8 lbs.
he won easily, beating Garter. Springcup, Petrel, Bena,
Gushat, Blondiua, Bright Eyes, Rotten Row and Grenadiere.
He started for the first time in his three year old form at
Sundown Park. April 25th, in the Esher Stakes, one mile,
and with 6 st. 11 lbs., won with plenty to spare, beating Dry
Toast, Cheroot, Ampbioo, Wishing Gate, Free Mason, Ingram,
Miss Dollar, Ronda, Kaikoura, Teviot and the Strathem Co *s
filly. He next started in tbe Dee Stakes, at Kempton Park,
his only competitor being tbe Duke of Beaufort's Bull's Eye.
The race was at the Derby distance, a mile and a half, and
with Derby weight up Sainfoin won in a common canter. He
has never been beateo, and just why he was so overlooked in
the Derby until almost the very day of the race it is hard to
tell. It had been supposed that Sir R. Jardine and Mr.
Porter were dissatisfied with tbe colt, and on that account
sold him to Sir James Miller. But it looks now as if a clever
coup had been made, for Sainfoin was backed right and left,
and his presentowners and the former owners and trainers
are known to have pulled off a rare stake over his victory.
An immense amount of money was lost over Surefoot, tut
that won over S*infoiu will made Settling Day (Monday) a
rare time for those wbo laid tbe odds. Saiofoio has engage-
ments that make him a most valuable horse, now that be baa
proved himself possessed of quality enough to win a Derhy.
He is in the Epsom Grand Prize, in which he carries ten Irs.
penalty for winning the Derby, and Surefoot will carry tbe
same penalty for the Two Thousand. The great races be io
in are the Zetland and Midsummer Plates at tbe Newmarket
first and second July meetings, the Sns-ie\ at Goodwood, the
Doncaster St. Legcr, the Champion at Newmarket, the Roman
Grand Prize, the Ascot All Aged and Hardwick, tbe Stock
bridge Biennial and the Kuowstey Dir.Der Stakes at Liver-
pool. _

There a great many amateurs besides Reilly who only need
to be given a chance to prove themselves "desirable acquisi-
tions" to the professional ranks. We have mentioned a
number in previous isBues, but to refresh the memories of
the Blumbering managers, will go over the list again. Here's
a promising lot of colts to draw from: Tillson, Stanley,

Robinson is a clever gentleman when making a promise,
but like a great many others be evidently believes that
"promises are made to be broken " For the past month he has
assured members of the press that he wonld have the front
of the stand at the Emery grounds padded, but as yet has
failed to do so, The continual driving of the ball against
the stand not only promises to ultimately wreck the structure
(several of the boards are loose already) but is of constant
annoyance to the spectators.

It seems almost inexplicable that the "celebrated, cultivated
and underrated" Colonel Tom Robinson, always so tasty and
neat in his own personal attire, should select such a homely
and mournful costume for his pennant winning team. While
the tight fitting jerseys show off the shapely limbs of his men
to good advantage, the somberness of the uniform counteracts
the other pleasing effect, and instead of a team of happy-go-
lucky ball players, one could easily imagine he was looking '
at a delegation of sorrowful undertakers.

It must be rather embarrassing to the young placer who
leaves his minor league club fnll of ambitioD, and goes into a
major league, where the company is a trifle too Bpeedy for
him, and he is crowded out and obliged to sneak back to his
home and begin all over again.— Sporting Critic.

California has sent a score or more of young players East,
and we have yet to see any of them creeping back home
again. In fact, from past and present indications, it looks as
though the big leagues are very largely indebted to the Golden
State for many of their best talent. — Ed.

Reilly's work in his past few games verifies our statement
in the Breeder and Sportsman of the 24th nit. that, "there
are a number of amateurs right at home, who, if given a
chance wonld prove themselves as capable as many of their
older brethren". Reilly has made a big hit, and hiB playing
Sunday is just a sample of what he cau do whenever the
same opportunities offer. He certainly fulfills our assertion
mide in the Amateur Note3 of the same dale, to wit: " 'Josh'
Reilley, of the Allen*, is a 'comer'. As a second baseman we
have never seen his eqnal in the amateur uiiiks.. He is as
active as a kitten; knows how to play the position for all it is
worth; receives a ball, no matter how hard hit, gracefully
and easily, and has a clever way of touching a runner. He
is one of the hardest hitters in the League, and an earnest
and humorous coacher. As a base runner he ranks up with
the speediest, Reilly would be a success in aDy of the big
League Clubs on this Coast.''

The grounds at Haight Street are anything but pleasant to
look upon. Bunches of rank, withered grass here and there,
and dust circling iu whirlwinds, is ail there is to charm the
eye of the patient spectator who arrives at the usoal time set
for the game, and has nothing but this cheerless outlook for
a dreary wait of an hour or more, as was the case laet Sun-
day. Dan Mariana, who waB most conscientious in bis
endeavors to have the grounds in good condition, has been
dismissed by that "champion releaser," Robinson, and already
his absence is felt. There is no reason whatever why two
ground keepers should not be constantly employed; in fact,
if the managers care to consider the comforts of the patron?t
this is an absolute necessity. With a little expenditure, the
grass iu the outfield and the plats sorrouudihg the infield
coald be easily converted into bright, attractive li\vos. Then
with two men at work with the hose when games are in pro-
gress, the dust could be effectually laid, and the comfort of
the spectators in this respect insured. This would certainly
redound advantageously to the league from a financial stand-
point, aB increased and less dissatisfied audiences would be
the result.

Two loverB went to the base ball game

One afternoon in May;
He was a crank; ehe never has seen

Professional players play.

He faithfully tried to explain it all.

She tried to understand;
But the more he talked, the less she knew

While he thought the game was grand.

He cheered, he danced, he yelled "Hi 1 hi!"

She calmly looked about;
And if anyone made a three-base hit

She asked if the man W<is out.

She tried her best to keep the score.

But when the game was done
He found that whenever a foul was htt.

She bad given the man a run

It dampened his ardor to have her say:

"Why dose'nt the umpire bat?'B
And each question nhe asked diminished bis love,

Though he wouldn't have owned to that.

Till at last she asked in her guileless way:

"Which nine is playing now?"
He broke the engagement then and there,

And now they don't even bow.

THURSDAY'S GAME.

OAKLAND vs STOCKTON
June 19th at Uaicht Street.
It was a dull, uninteresting exhibition. There was abso-
lutely nothing in the game aside from a few pretty catches
to warrant the moat ardent admirer of the sport to give it
his attention. Both team^ fielded like a lot of wooden men,
and balls that should have been caught figured as baae hits.
The pitchers were in very poor form, and altogether it was a
very tame exhibition. Vogt was disabled and Matt Stanley
filled his position. Although he was up behind the bat the
greater part of the game, he had no chances except a high
foul flv which he capcuied neatly; as Kilroy did cot strike
out a single Oaklander. But he was strong at the bat, knock-
ing out a number of hard fouls, and securing two hits. The
batting generally was heavy, both teams participating. The
Oaklands however, bunched their hits, and aided by some
good fc ase running and a good deal of error making, won eas-
ily. The prominent feiture was the fielding of Fogarty, Ca-
hill and StickDey. Fogarty's catch of a hard line drive back

of first was a magnificent bit of playing. The score:

Oak lands.

It is not necessary that Joe Noonan (PurceU) should receive
the consent of his "academic superiors" before he plays ball
again, as stated in one of the morning dailies. Joe is under
no restrictions whatever, and is perfectly free to enter into
any arrangement he may desire. Of course as he is resolved
to study for the priesthood, he prefers acquainting his supe-
riors of his immediate intentions, but this is purely optional
on his part. There ir- no doubt but that if Finn or any other
local manager desires Porcell's services, he is in a position to
consider any proposition for this season.

Thursday's game, the Oaklands launched themselves into
second place, but Sacramento is snch a close third that
should Oakland lose a game and Sacramento win, the Sac-

SAN FRANCISCO vb SACRAMENTO,

Friday, June 13th, at Oakland.

A large attendance welcomed the Friscos and Senators at
the Emery grounds and witnessed a lively hard hitting game.
In fact it was the greatest batting game of the season. The
Friscos presented a patched up app3arance, Sweeney being
on the sick list, and Young was placed in the outfield,
Stevens playing first and Speer catcbiog. Harper was in the
bos for Sacramento and was hit out merrily. The' game
opened fiivorably for the Senators who scored three runs on
Daley's Bingle, Buchan'e error of Godar's line hit, Staple-
ton's and Roberts doubles and Bowman's base on balls.
The Frisco's were gooBe egged till the fitth, when they made
three on a base on balls, two singles and Levy's double.
From tbe seventh inning Sacramento forged rapidly ahead
and won easily. The ftature of the day was Levy's terri6c
hitting. Three doubles and a triple is the best ba*tiug Rube
has ever done in any one game. Speer, Hanley, Young,
Godar, Stapleton and Bowman were also handy with the
stick. The score:

OAKLAND vs STOCKTON.

Friday June 13th, at Stockton.

The above teams played a great game, tbe Colonels fielding
being perfect while the Gas City boys were credited with only
two misplayB. Carsey and Kilroy pitched winning ball and
were equally steady with men on bases. Stickney and Mc-
Donald were in excellent form and played a perfect game in
other respective positions. The same may be said of the
work of Fudger, Selna, Cahill and Isaacson. Holliday,
Cahill, Dungan and IsaacBon did some clever and timely hit-
ting. Donahue's deoisions were as usual unsatisfactory to
the Stocktons. Tbe score:

SAN FRANCISCO vs. SACRAMENTO.
Saturday, June 14th, at Haight Street.
The home aggregation and Senators played a wonderfully
pretty game last Saturday, with tbe home team on the win-
ning end. Farrell pitched a masterly game for Sacramento
except in the fifth inning, when the 'Friscos almost annibi-
lated him. He began in this inning very wild, giving Young
and Sbea their base on balls, and then Sweeney, Hanley and
Ebright hit safely in rapid succession, making five runs and
virtually winning the game. The fielding was of the very
highest order, Reitz, Daley, Godar and Stapleton for the Sac-
ramentos, and Hanley, Ebright and Reilly for Frisco, cover-
ing themeelves with glory. The batting was Bharp and
heavy, Shea, Sweeney, Hanley, Ebright, Bowman and Reitz
doing efficient service with the stick. The score:

STOCKTON vs. OAKLAND.

Saturday, June 14th, at Stockton.
Hapeman in this game was almost invincible, and Meegan
being rapped out for fourteen hits, including three triples,
it is scarcely a matter of wonderment that the Stocktons
won. Not till tbe sixth inning, however, was the game in
the StocktoniaDS hands, when with two out Fogarty hit
safely and his example was successfully followed by Swan,
Holliday, Wilson and Hapeman. This timely hitting netted
four runs. Vogt gave Hapeman fine support behind the bat,
and Fudger, Fogarty, Selna, Wilson and Cahill also played
winning ball. The Oaklands fielding was generally faulty.
Fudger's hitting was a principal feature. The score:

SAN FRANCISCO vs OAKLAND.

Sunday, June 15th at Oakland.
Lookabaugh's curves met with a very warm reception at
Emeryville last Sunday morning, and this can be stated as a
reason that the Colonels won. It was a good exhibition in
which some great hitting and wonderful infield work was
displayed. Oakland scored in the fourth, sixth, eight and
ninth inning, getting in all twelve runs, five of which were
earned. The Frisco's did not hit Cobb hard, and what
''safeties" they did get were widely scattered and conse-
quently non-productive. Stickney's hitting was a feature,
and McDonald, Lohman, Cobb and Shea shared the batting
honors with him. The fielding of N. O'Neill, McDonald,
Reilly, Sweeney and Hanley was of a most perfect quality.
The audience, which numbered about eight hundred, were
very enthusiastic from an Oakland standpoint, and went into
ecstacies over every hit and successful play made by the
Colonels. Sheridan's decisions as usual, met with favor by
players and spectators alike. The score
Oakland.

SAN FRANCISCO vs. OAKLAND.
Sunday, June 15th, at Haicht Street.

The Colonels evidently think they can't have too much of
a good thing, for in the afternoon, at the Haight Street
grounds, in presence of some six thousand Frisco constitu-
ents, they just took the home team into camp as readily as
they did on their own grounds in the morning. Oakland is
largely indebted to youog Mr. Carsey for iheir viotory. He
certainly pitched a most masterly game, Frisco's six hits
being distributed through five innings. The fourth inning
was the only one in which the home team scored, and in that
they just earned one little run. Young was bit considerably
harder than his more youthful adversary, the third inning
being a veritable Waterloo for him. Carsey led off with a
Dretty single to center, and C. O'Neill did likewise. Stick-
ney's hit forced O'Neill, but Dungan's safety filled the bases
again. Then N. O'Neill, for his patience, was awarded first
base on balls, and this forced Carsey across the plate; Stick-
ney and Dongan scoring on McDonald's bit, and "Sir" Norris
coming home on Lehman's safe drive past third. This gave
Oakland four runs and the game.

The fielding honors go to Josh Reilly, just graduated from
the amateur rankB. Rally's playing would do credit to some
of the greatest short-stops in the basiness; in fact, nothing
was hit anywhere near him but what he captured with the
ease and grace of a most finished player. He received a most
hearty ovation for his marvellous exhibition Sbea,
Sweeney, Ebrigbt, Stiokney, McDonald and N. O'Neill also
played a good fielding qame. At the bat Dungan, McDonald,
Carsey and Levy excelled. The score:

STOCKTON vs. SACRAMENTO.

Sunday, June 15th, at Stockton.

Eight innings was the "game" at Stockton last Sunday
morning to enable the teams to catch tbe Sacramento train.
But eight innings w*s jost sufficient to give the Gas City
boys eight runs, and as the Senators couldn't make bat one-
quarter of that number, the Stocktons won with apparent
ease. Perrott pitohed another good game, being very steady
and effective. Chase was hit harder, nine safeties, includ-
ing a triple and two doubles being secured off him. He also
gave four men first on balls. Selna was not on hand and
Smith played first base in good form. The infields of both
teams put up a very pretty game. Holliday, Fudger, Wilson
and Ptrrott were especially strong at the bat. The score:
Stockton. Sacbamento.

SACRAMENTO vs. STOCKTON.

Sunday, June 15th, at Sacramento.

The Senators somewhat evened up matters in the afternoon,
game with the Stocktons, but not without a hard struggle.
The game was not called till 4 o'clock, and the sun beiug low
aod blazing full in tbe fielders faces will serve as an excellent
excuse for some of the errors made. Harper and Kilroy were
the opposing pitchers, and barring tbeir wildness, both did
nice work. Stapleton and Daly were indisposed, Bowman
playing first and Daly going to right with Farrell at short.
Several pretty plays were made, but the hitting was light.
Goodenough's work on the paths was a feature. The score:

The Amateurs.

Games Played

by the California Amateur
League.

The Amateur race is still widely spread out with the Santa
Rosa boys haviDg quite a big lead. But as leBS than one-
third of the schedule of games has been completed, the
teams at present far down on the list need not feel too badly
discouraged, as there is ample opportunity for them to re-
trieve their losses. The Reports are second and slightly in
advance of "Warrens "Young Giants." Vallejo is fourth,
the Burlingtons fifth, and the Aliens are still "in the hole."

E. T. ALLENS vs. WILL & FINCKS.

Sunday, Jose 15th, at HaightStbeet.

It waB the ''SportB*' game up to the sixth inning when the
"Giants" did some clever stick work and with the assistance
of a few costly errors on the part of the Aliens seven runs
came in, closing up the score nine to ten. From that in-
ning on it was a great battle in which the ''Giants" displayed
superior team work and hitting abilities. In the eighth tney
got three men over the plate, L. Delmas being safe on Mc-
Donalds error. Leveque sacrificed him to second and How-
ells drive to center scored him, Frank Delmas then hit to
Evatt who promptly retired the little pitcher at second but
Frank scored on Strands hit to left. Conway collided with
Lewis at first, who fairly had him out, but being knocked in-
sensible Lewis dropped the ball and Strand scored. Billings
ended the inning on his fly out to McCarthy. The Aliens
failed to score in the seventh, eighth or ninth and the game
went to the Fincks. The fielding was at times really brii-
liant, TillsonF,, and L .Delmas, Buckley, Beckett, Geisbak-
her Stanley and McCarthy playing like veterans. Jim Cusick
led in hitting having two beautiful doubles and a sacrifice to
his credit. Evatt, Lewis, Backley, Tillson and Howell also
did heavy stick work. McConvilles umpiring was not satis-
factory. The score;

VALLEJO vs SANTA ROSA.
Sunday, June 15, at Vallejo.

Ths Vallejo's and Santa Rosa's played an eleven inning
game last Sunday which terminated in favor of the "Ma-
rines." In the eighth inning Vallejo forged ahead, making
three runs, only to be overtaken and tied in the ninth by
Santa Bosa, making the same number. In the eleventh,
however, Vallejo settled it, getting two men across the plate,
while the Sonomaboys just tallied once. The game, although
escitiDg, was not a good one in any respect, the fielding be
ing miserable and the batting light. Baltz was very effect-
ive, Btriking out Bixteen and allowing but three hits. Tufts
was in the bos for Santa Bosa, and the youngster did fairly
well. Callen played center and erred on every ohance offered .
Maguire made his Mb first appearance with the "Marines"
and acquitted himself creditably. The prominent features of
the game were the hard hitting of Farrell McQuire and Lee,
and the fielding of Wi6e, Stultz, Arlett, Cook, Gimmel, Lee
aDd MoQuire.

GimmeljStultz and Farrell also did some clever and Bpeedy

PORTLAND vs. TACOMA.

Sonday, June 15th at Portland.
Id this game Portland got there in great shape. Their vic-
tory iB principally due to some excellent stick work in the
first inning. It happened this way. Howard took first on
balls, and J. Parrott's line drive scored Howard; a passed
ball and error placed Parrott at third, and then Cooney
lifted one to short right, Parrott scoring. Cahill hit to
short, but McCabe fumbled, and Cooney was safe at second
with Cahill at first. ('01d man Perrier" scored both men on
his double to deep right. Four runs and a brilliant begin-
ning. Portland added one in the second and another in the
seventh, while Tacoma only tallied one in each, the first,
fourth and ninth, the game ending sis to three in favor of
the Web-feet. The features were the hard hitting of Cooney,
Parrott, Perrier and Hoffman, and the general brilliant field-
ing of the Portlands. The score:

Amateur Short Hits.

Santa Bosa still leads.

Pace is a very accurate thrower.

McCarthy is fieldiug in tine form.

The Aliens missed Reilly Sunday.

The Aliens are "jonahed" somewhere.

Santa Bosa has lost two games to Vallejo.

"Bloudie" Callen is not a success as a fielder.

Tribou has been re-signed by manager Keller.

The Burlingtons play at Santa Bosa to-morrow.

Jim Cusick's two doubles Sunday were "corkers"

Frank Delmas has fallen off considerably in his hittiDg.

The Suisuus defeated the Vacavilles last Sunday. Score,
11 to 2.

The "Young Giants" are fast crowding the Reports for
second place.

Cate is the most successful umpire the Amateur League
has ever had.

Billy Gimmel continues playing his usual brilliant game
for Santa Bosa.

Strand's throwing would put many of the professional
fielders in the shade.

Jimmy Geishaker was himself last Sunday, and put up a
first class game at short.

The Vallejo "Marines" will meet Warrens "Young Giants"
at the Haight St. Grounds, Sunday.

The "pony battery" Howell and Billings have been doing
Borne exceptional good work this season.

Jack Cook is Santa Bosa's third baseman now and Stulz
will be kept in his proper position— first base.

The players of the Report and Burlington teams were
highly interested in the Allen— Finck game last Sunday.

Reed Beckett, the latest addition to the Allen team is a
fast fielder and thrower. His double play Sunday proved
his value to the team,

The Santa Bosas did not annihilate Baltz last Sunday aB
they expected. Three little hits by Buch a heavy team of
hitters as the Santa Bosai claim to be is a very poor Bhowing
for them, but puts Baltz's stock up at a high standard.

If Cusick continues the way he has been hitting for the
last two games he played, he will be at the head of the list
when the season closes.

The Aliens have sustained an irreperable loss in Josh
Reilly going to the San Franciscos. Reilly was the best
player in the team and last Sunday his work at the bat was
greatly misBed. Besides he was a "Btar" coscher and when
ihe team was in a hole there was no player who could "jolly
them up" better than he.

Left field is the position that is being played almost to per-
fection in the Amateur League. The records of Gimmel,
McCarthy, Sharp, Forster and Strand will verify this state-
ment, and it is quite probable that the Amateurs' averages
will bear a very faveraUe comparison with that of the more
experienced professionals.

Jack McConville did not have a very sociable time umpir-
ing last Sunday mornings game. He certainly failed to com-
mand the respect the autocrat of the field iB supposed to re-
ceive and in fact several of the Fincks were very much in-
clined tn "josh" his decisions. Fine3 were certainly in order,
and if McConville wishes to preserve decorum he must not
be too aelicate in placing pid&ters where they are deserved.

Jim Corbett, the "nimble professor," has a yourjg brother
named Joe who, of all promising youngsters, irmst be put
down aB a "comer." Joe haB been covering second base in
such a clever style for a St. Mary's College team, that his
youthful breast is now adorned with a handsome gold medal
presented by some admiring collegians. The other day Jim
had the youngster out to the Olympio Club grounds, and
with some others, indulged in a little practice. After Jim
had wearied himself pitching all kind of balls, only to be
batted all over the lot by the little fellow, he said: "Why, I
was never 'in it at all' with the "two-year-old"; you know I
was no slouch of a player myself, but he can double discount
me playing now.'*

We have noticed that the greater part of the errors made
by the amateurs are attributable to wild throwing. This is
a fault that could easily be remedied. The amateurs like
the professionals know that nothing aside from hard hitting
briDgB them more favorably to the notice of managers, press
and spectators than clever sharp fielding. Consequently
they have become imbued with a desire to figure in rapid
and doable plays as often as the barest possibility will per-
mit. In thiB respect the\ frequently overreach their abilities,
for without taking time (o guage the distance they most
throw,'and the desperate chances they are taking to make
the play effective, they just bang the ball anywhere to get it
out of their hands and the result is, that most generally
every man on bases gets home or at least advances a bag.*
An ipning or two of this kind of work is 6ure to rattle any
team, no matter how capable they are in other departments
of the game, and defeat is almost inevitable.

The Will & Fincks, or as they have been more familiarly
called Warrens "Young Giants", as now constituted, are a
team that ought to do some great battling for the pennant.
In the Amateur League, they are what the Sacramentos are
to the big League. In fact their playing, bearing in mind
that they are amateurs, very forcibly reminds one of the
gild-edged work of the Senatorial aggregation. Warren from
quite an extended experience knows a good player when he
sees him, and is always on the alert tn strengthen his team
in any weak spot. His team to-day is undoubtedly the
moat formidable in every respect in the League. Howell
has proven himself equally as efficient in the box as several
pitchers many years his senior, and Billings has been giving
him the most encouraging support. The infield is a very
clever one; the two Delmas biothers on first and third and
Charley Tillson at short having played together for the past
few seasons know how to play their positions to the best pos-
sible advantage. With Conway they are "four of a kind" and
hard to beat. Then the outfield is the most evenly balanced
one ever seen on a amateur diamond. Strand, Leveque and
Cusick are very fast fielders and accurate throwers. In hit-
ting and base runoing they will" undoubtedly lead the
League as Frank Delmas, Cusick, Strand, Leveque. B llings
and Tillson are exceptionally strong at the bat. They will
probably excel in base running alBo, Tillson, Leveque, How-
ell, Strand and Cusick each having already made an enviable
reputation in this department. All togeiher they are a very
strong team and ought to capture almost "everything in
sight."

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BT ABFHIPPUS,

A large number of novices are preparing themselves for
the coming handicap oat door meeting of the Olympic
Athletic Club, which will be held at the new grounds on
Friday, July 4th. The wheelmen are bestirring themselves
and are getting into good condition for their coming two-day
tournament. Owing to the liberal prizes which will be
offered by the Fourth of July Regatta Committee several of
the local professional oarsmen have gone into training and
will enter the professional single shell races. Several cross
country runs are on the tapis and a boom in that line of
sport may be expected.

AT THE OARS.

Sunday last was a good day for the oarsmen and many of
them were out in their shells. There was an unosaal activ-
ity in the neighborhood of Long Bridge, consequent upon
the favorable condition of the tide.

The South End Bowing Club has elected the following
officers for the eosuing term of one year: J. J. McCarthy,
Prtsident; J. 1 ray nor, Financial Secretary; W. Richards,
Recording Secretary; A. J. Mtllelz, Treasuier; C Barn3, D.
Basse tt and P. Reardon, trustees. The initiation fee has
been reduced to $ 1, and the monthly dues to 50 cts. Here-
after the club will meet twice a month.

Stokes of the Pioneer Rowing Ciub iB in good condition
aDd his club will expect him to win the amateur shell cham-
pionship on the 4ch of Jaly. A good many of the pioneer
scullers were out for practice spins on Snnday.

The amateur crew of the Ariel Club are determined to
show up in great shape at the regatta.

The members of the Dolphin Club are losing no time and.
were out in full force on Sunday.

The oarsmen are in a happj mood because John T Sulli-
van has been elected Chairman of the Fourth of July Regatta
Committee. He is the right man in the right place and will
see that the lovers of aquatic sports get all that Is coming
to thtlil,

The Lurline Club will be represented by the following
crew at Ihe coming regatta: F. H. Tiufeobaeh, bow; J.
Ringen, forward waiBt; P. Gay, after waist; W. Schwartz,
stroke; G. Gay, coxswain. Several of the boys were on the
bay on Sunday and niauy of them exercise daily.

About 51,200 will be spent for prizes by the Regatta Com-
mittee and this fact alone will help to draw out some of the
crack oarsmen who have remained on the shelf for a year or
go.' Ihe programme will be made out about the middle of
next week. It is almost an assured fact that Peterson,
Henchman (of Stockton) Growney, Griffin, Van Gulphin,
StokeB, Doherty and Deane, (of Stockton) will all enter for
the professional eveois. Such an entry list would make the
single shell race highly interesting.

Edward Hanlan has returned to Toronto. He will row in
the Daluth regatta on July 22 to 26.

Psotta, the American amateur champion oarsman should
win the diamond scalls at the Royal Henley Regatta on the
Thames, Eogland, this year. Guy Nicholls, the English
amateur champion will not compete in the race. H. Gard-
ner, the stroke of the Cambridge, will row in the race.

The Aldermen of Boston, Mass., have decided on the fol-
lowing programme for the annual professional and amateur
rowing regatta on the Cbarles river. Here it is: 1st race —
For professional scullers, 3 miles. 1st prize, $175; 2nd, S100;
3rd, $75. 2nd race — For local professional sculltrs, 3 miles.
1st prize, $75; 2nd, $50; 3rd. $25. 3rd race — For amateur
junior scullers, 3 miles. 1st prize, City of Boston Cup,
value $50; 2nd, gold medal, value $25. 4th race — For
eight oared shells, amateurs, 1& miles, straightaway. 1st
prize, nine gold medals and flag, value $125; 2nd, nine silver
medals, value, $75 oth race — For four oared working
boats, professianal, 3 mile-?. 1st prize, $200; 2nd, $100;
3rd, $50. Total value of prizes, $1,125. The entries are
free and may be made personally or by letter at the office of
the clerk of committees, at the City Hall, until 2 p.m. of
July 2. after which time none will be received. The Com-

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.

The athletes do not seem to be taking much interest in the
coming field games of the O. A. C, announced to eomeoff on
July 4th. Certainly none of the running or walking records
will be broken, for the majority of the crack athletes have
gone^out of training, completely worn out by their exertions
trying to get into good trim for the lute championship meet-
ing. Several Olympic novices, however, will make their
appearances, and it will be interesting to watch their per-
formances.

Kortick. Jellineak, Wheelan, Foster and Crane, all new
men, will enter, and good records may be expected from
them. Without exception, they are all promising sprinters,
and by next year may be able to make bids for champion-
ship honors.

8teve Casady has been feeling very pleased since May 30th,
and be expects to do some record breaking next year. With
proper handling he should leave 50 seconds in the shade for
the quarter.

Cooley feels disgusted because of his defeat by Hill in the
mile. It is doubtful if he could down the U. C. man in a
mile or under, but it is dollars to cents that he could lead
Hill all the way from one and a half miles up.

Casady, of the Alpine Club, will continue to practice dis-
tance running, and as he is quite a novice compared with
Cooley, the young Englishman should improve considerably
daring tbe nest couple of months.

With a liberal handicap, A. Cook should make it interest
ing for Coffin in a mile walk. He is an improving man both
in style and speed, and may stand a fair chance for a medal
on July 4th.

V. P. White, of the California Athletic Club, and W. M.
Schwartz, of the Lurline Club, wjll wrestle a mixed match,
catcb-as-catch-cau and Gra?co-Roman, before the former
club Borne night in July for a $25 medal.

Leader John Hammersmith, of the Olympio Club, has
leased the Grand Opera House for September 3d, on which
date the grandest gymnastic exhibition ever witnessed in San
Francisco will be given All tbe prominent athletes in the
club will be billed to appear.

It is said that Harry M. Johnson, the professional sprinter,
has left town.

There will be two amateur running raceB at the Scottish
Thistle Club picnic at Shell Mound Park, Berkeley, on July
4th, under the auspices of the P C A A A. Three medals,
costing respectfully $35, $25 and $15 will be given for each
race. The distances will be five laps, or about half a mile,
and two laps, or about a fifth of a mile. Several of the lead-
ing amateur runners will compete.

The Alpine Club members will take a long walk on Snn-
day July 6. The journey will be from San Mateo to this
city. The athletes will leave on the first train for San Mateo
where they will eat lunch. After walking around town for an
hour or so they will start for San Francisco, the distance be-
ing 21 miles. The pace will be a slow walk averaging about
three and a half miles a hour, and Captain John D. Garrison
will insist that no spurting shall take plaoe at the close of
the walk. The tramp is intended as a pleasure trip as well
as an exercise, by which the muscles of the body may be
hardened without violent effort.

All associate members of the Pacific Coast Amateur Ath-
letic Association are invited to take part- All information
of tbe walk oan be obtained from Captain John D. Harrison,
706 Powell Street. The following men have signified their
intention of starting: A Cooke, R Luttringer, J R Collins,
3 D Garrison (captain) P N Gafney, R Staats, D Vultee, Ed.
Steinwav, Charles Armbruster, George W Armbruster, A
Davis A M King, F E Holland, W Bowen, H C Ca3idy, P J
Sheedy, A Choynski, E P Levy, C W Meyer, W F Vollmer
and T H McCarthy. Judging from the interest taken in tbe
affair, which is an original introduction among the athletic
clubs on the Pacific Coast, it is safe to say that fifty athletes
will undertake the journey.

About a dozen members of the Alpine Amateur Athletic
Club crossed over to Sausalito on Sunday last, where they
enjoyed their third crosB country run from Jackson's Villa.
The run, which was under the direction of Captain John D.
Garrison, was to Lime Point and return. All the starters
had been over the course before and were familiar with its
ins and outs. The outward run was very slow. Garrison ar-
riving at the Fog Station first, with Meyer second and Voll-
mn third, the rest being close up. After resting five minutes
tbe boys started homeward, Captain Garrison allowing his
club mates a start of about 300 yards. The run in was fast,
but Garrison, despite his handicap, got home first by a
couple of feet in 49 minutes, Meyer was second, Vollmer
third, Choynski fourth and King fifth. The following men
started: Captain J. D. Garrison, C. W. Meyer, A. M. King,
G. H. Simmonds, R. C Staats, Ed Steinway, E. 8teinway,
Jr., A. Choynski, W. F. Vollmer, C. H. Larkey. After en-
joying a refreshing dip in the briny ocean, the tired athletes
sat down to a toothsome repast which had been specially pre-
pared for them by Mrs. Ross Jackson. The club photo-
grapher, Ed Steinway, took an excellent photograph of the
men in their running costumes.

The victorious Olympio team which captured the pennant
on May 30th, will shortly hold a banquet. Songs, recita-
tion?, and speeches will follow the feast. The exercises will
probably close with a grand wine rub down.

An excellent photograph of the O A C championship team
was recently taken at the Elite Photograph Gallery. All the
men who competed for the O A C in the games on May 30th
are included in the group.

M. C. Giry, the ex-Pre6ident of the Alpine Club, is now
clerking at the I X L on Market street.

We understand that Captain G. W, Jordan, the ex-delegfite
of the O A C to the P C A A A wrote to the Directors of his
club informing th6m if the Alpine Club was allowed to re-
main in tbe P C A A A he would resign as a delegate. The
Directors accepted his resignation.

Tbe followiog are the winners of the Olympic athletic
games held at St. Louis, on June 7th:

One hundred yard run, scratch — A J Helmuth, OAC,
won; time, 10 2-5&ecs.

One hundred yard run, handicap— L H Aftenkemp, Belle-
ville A C won; time, 19 4 5secs.

One mile walk — H A Hentricks, M A A C, scratch, won in
7min 42sens.

Pole vaulting — Herman Wieneke, M A A C, scratch, broke
the Western Association record in a vault of 10ft.

Four hundred and forty yard run — Won by OttoWareskop-
sy in53secs.

The 16-pound hammer was thrown 87ft 4in by Miles Mc"
Donougb, of the Shamrocks, and he won.

The 220 yard walk for members were taken by Phil Hart-
man in 25 3-5secs.

The one mile ran was won by Gus Wagner, Belleville A C,
60yds, in 4min 47secs.

George P. Powell, the Western champion, won the high
jump with 5ft JOin. St. Louis will send two teams to the
Detroit championships.

During the games of the Interscholastio Association on
Holmes' Field, Cambridge, Mass., June 7th, W. C. Downes,
the Harvard medium distance runoer, made an attempt to
excel tbe best time ever made on that track for half a mile.
He had A. M. White, '92, for pacemaker, and succeeded in
his effort, breasting the tape in lmin 57 2-5s, The best pre-
vious record for the track was lmin 59^Becs, made by G. P.
Coggeshall, '8S, in the year '88.

More than three thousaod persons were present at the open
games of the New York AthleticClub, held at their beautiful
country home at Travers Island, on Long Island Sound, on
Saturday afternoon, June 7. It was also "ladies day" with
the club, and therefore there was even a larger representation
of tbe fair relatives and friends of the members than cus-
tomary at the sports of this influential organization. Better
weather could not have been desired by those bent upon
having an enjoyable outing, but the fresh wind that was so
welcome to tbe spectators was not conducive to superior
performances on tbe running path. The grounds were in
capital condition, the management was as faultless as ever,
and, although there were many absentees among the entries,
the sport was excellent, while that phenomenal shot putter,
George Gray, distinguished himself by creating four world's
records with missiles of different weights, and W. L. Con-
don added to his reputation by throwing the 161b, hammer,
standing, wiih one hand, a distance of 123ft. 6$io. Tbe ab-
sence of W C Dohm and W C Downes from races for which
their nameB were down on the programme occasioned much
disappointment. The former was reported to be sick, while
the representative of Harvard was busy with hi6 examina-
tions and could not attend. The race in which Sberrill, the
Tale crack, and Cary, from Princeton, appeared, at ooe
hundred yards, resulted unsatisfactorily, owing to the for-
mer, who bad easily won his trial heat, straining a tendon in
his foot and falling near the finish in the final. A summa-

The different lodges of the Sons of St. George in New
York City will hold a picric at Jones Wood, New York, on
August 13, the chief feature of which will be tbe sports in
the afternoon, including the following events for which the
prizes will consist of gold and silver watches and silver cups:
100 yards run-. 220 yards run; 440 yards run: 880 yards
ran: 1 mile ran, open to all amateurs, and a tng of war, and
races for men over 200 lbs. in weight and for men over 45
years of age opsn only to members of the order.

The Board of Governors of the Manhattan Athletic Clab,
at a mee'iug held on Jane 6, adopted a resolution to the ef-
fect that the club would not consider the application for
membership of any athlete, a member of any club belonging
to the Amateur Athletic Uaion unless he presented with the
application his release from the club to which he had be-
longed.

W. G. George, the ex-champion amateur rnnner, has as-
sumed the entire management of the Molineux Gronnds,
Wolverhampton, England, a favorite racing path for 'cyclers.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

Some of the members of the Lurline Club are anxious that
the club withdraw its application for admission into the P.
C. A. A. A. They seem to have an idea that the Association
does not care very much to elect a North Beach club to
membership. The Secretary of the Lurline Club received a
letter from the Association in regard to the amateur stand-
ing of one of its members. William Schwartz, the wrtstliog
instructor, who was said to be receiving a salary. The fol-
lowing reply was mailed to the Association: I beg leave to
say for the benefit of tbe club that we are a new organization
heartily endorsing the sentiments of the association in its
good work in bringing together strictly amateur clubs to the
front, and will not this late day make ourselves liable for any
breaking of the rules of the association.

At present we have three boxing teachers, and two in
wrestling, and I am desirions of informing the association
that there is not one of our teachers under pay or being
compensated for services rendered, bat strictly voluntary on
their part, which was the understanding when they were
elected honorary members of the Lurline Club.

The Alpine Clnb will not hold any exhibition this month,
but next month a fine entertainment will be given.

A meeting of the P C A A A was bold at tbe Olympic clnb
rooms on Wednesday evening, June 11th. At 8 o'clock, the
hour at which the meeting should have been called to order,
there were present over a dozen delegates, but as tbe uipht
advanced and 10 o'clock resounded through the halls only
half that number remained in the waiting room. There was
considerable kicking done by the delegates who were com-
pelled to wait, and they had just cause for kicking. It seeuiH
inconsistent that meetings of 'the Association should re-
called at such a late hour, and the sooner this state of thingtt
is remedied the better for tbe welfare of the P C A A A. At
11 o'clock, when tbe election of officers took place, only four
delegates were present: Messrs. Scott, Steinway, Gilboly
and Moody. Tbe other delegates were obliged to leave, ow-
ing to tbelatenefis of tbe hoar. All the old officers were
elected. J. H. Gilhuly was accepted as a delegate to succeed
George W. Jordan of tbe O A O, who had resigned. Several
records were accepted .

The next meeting of the Association will be held
same place on June 25th.

THE WHEELMEN.

The programme for the League meeting has not as yet been
isBued. The new four lap track at San Jose is nearing com-
pletion, and will be in tip top condition by the Fonith of
July. The grand stand has already been erected, and all
the other arrangements are nearly perfected. The ball which
will take place on Saturday evening, July 5th, at the Hotel
Vendome, promises to be one of the events of the season at
San Jo3e. Several hundred invitations will be issued.

A complete list of the prizes to be awarded the winners
will be published on Monday. The prizes will be handsome
and costly and will include watcheB, bicycle3, jewelry, etc.

Several Los Angele3 wheelmen are in training at San Jose,
and doubtless some of the trophies will bnd their way to
the City of Angels.

A good manv of the Garden City Wheelmen are also in
training and the local riders will need to exert themselves.

The Oakland Bicycle Club has called a run for July 3d.
The men will be divided into two teams, a fast one and a
slow one. The slow team will leave the cor of 12(h and
Broadway streets, Oakland, at 4:30 p m. The Scorchers will
follow at 7:30. The run will be to San Jose.

The lantern parade on the evening of the 4th, will be an
interesting sight to witness.

Chief Consul R. M. Thompson's handbook is about ready
and will shortly be issued. It will be one of the largest and
best books of the kind ever issued. Every member of the
Cal. division LAW will receive a copy free and it will be
impossible for outsiders to procure a copy of the book as it
will not be for sale.

At a mating of the Bay City Wheelmen held Jnue 16th,
the two following gentlemen were nominated for delegates at
large: Dr. T L Hill of San Francisco, and C C Moore of
Stockton.

Chief Consul Thomp3on, George P. Wetmore and Sanford
Plummer rode to Santa Cruz on Sunday, going byway of
Boulder Creek and Saratoga.

The B C W will hold a road race in September with time
handicaps. The race will be on tbe prinoiple of the great
Pullman road races. The rare will probably be open to all
members of the Cal. Division LAW. Valuable prizes, con-
sisting of bicycles, watches, etc.. will be given.

At a meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen held June 9th, a
committee was appointed to see what could be done in re-
gard to the issuing of bonds for building purposes.

It is the intention of the Bay City Wheelmen to build a
olub house of their own in some convenient part of the city.
The rooms will be finely famished, and no donbt many
wheelmen who are at present unattached will be only too
glad to join a clnb that will shortly be able to boast of having
a finer club house than any other bicycle organization on
the Pacific Coast.

Chief Consul Thompson and W. M. Meeker intend go-
ing to the YoBemite Valley nest month.

A club run otthe San Francisco Bicycle Club, occupying
a week, is to be taken through Lake and Sonoma counties.

The board of officers ot California Division met last week
and nominated the committee whose daty is to make nom-
inations for chief consul, vice-consul and secretary-treasurer,
for the coming term. C. C. Moore of Stockton, Fred Buss
Cook of San Francisco, H. C. F. Smith of Lo3 Angeles, Dr.
Van Norden of Alameda and A. C. McKenney of San Jose
are the committee. The election will be conducted under
the Australian plan, according to the new constitution. Each
member of this committee will send his nominees to the
secretary-treasnrer, and all the names received by him will
be placed on one ticket and the ticket sent to each member
of the division, who will cross off the names which he does
not wish to vote, and then return the ticket to the secretary-
treasurer. Any other names received by the secretarv-
treasurer indorsed by the members in good standing will also
be placed on the ticket.

The nominations for representatives at large will be made
by the leagae clubs of the division, of which there are five —
Bay City Wheelmen, Los Angeles Wheelmen, Garden City
Wheelmen, Vineyard Valley Wheelmen and Palm Leaf
Wheelmen. Chief Consul Thompson has notified the secre-
taries of these clubs to make nominations for five represen-
tatives on or before July 1st, 1890.

"Hexameter," the Los Angeles correspondent of the L. A.
W. Bulletin, iB strongly advocating the re installment of S.
W. Soeirs into the amateur ranks. The fact of Mr. Speirs
having competed in the Morgan "fake^racesatthe Mechanics
Pavilion some months ago, after having been duly cautioned
that any wheelmen who took part in these races would be
disqualified as an amateur, iB a barrier strong enough to pre-
vent his re-instatement. There are plenty of good wheelmen
now in the State, and the loss of one amateor who waB hot-
headed enongh to violate the rules of the L. A. W. will make
but little difference to the amateur bicycling world.

Unique Racing.

Philadelphia, Pa., June 5. — Milkmen from all sections
of the city, after serving their customers with diBpatch, to-
day turned out iu holiday attire, accompanied by their wives
or best girls, and wended their way to Belmont Cour89 to
witness the third annual races of the Philadelphia Milk
Exchange. The Lancaster turnpike and all roads loading to
the track were crowded by ihe jolliest crowd imaginable.
All sorts of vehiclea, from the genuine backboard to the
dilapidated milk wagon, conveyed over 4,000 spectators to
tbe grounds. The weather was hot and the roads dustv,
but everybody enjoyed the day hugely. Honest racing was
the order, everybody trying to win. Frank Bower, Joshua
Evans, John T. Strickland and Dr. J. A. Marshall were in
the jadges' stand.

Tbe milk wagon race created considerable amusement for
the spectators. Each contestant was stationed at the wire,
the driver to load two thirty-quart milk can3, shut up the
tail-board, and get in his wagon and drive a mile, the first
horse in to be declared the winner. T. Fogarty loaded Hrst,
with Siney second, but Lady Forrest took the lead and won
the race in 3:2H

The 2:35 pacing race was hotly contested between the three
starters, tbe bay eelding Eli winning. Be&t time, 2:34$.

The second Milk Wagon clasB waB a repetition of the first
race, Smiling Jimmy getting the Blart and keeping the lead
to the three-quarter pole, when Jersey Boy passed him and
won the race in 2:39i.

The 2:50 clas-i was the race of the day, with Stone Cutter
the favorite. Stone Cotter won the first heat by a neck.
Iu tbe second heat Frank had the race in hand to the stretch,
when he quit badly, and Stone Cutter passed him a length
from the wire. In the third heat all endeavored to be»t
Stone Cutter. Frank and Butcher Boy made the pace hot.
but Stone Cutter outfooted the field and won by a short
length. Best time, 2;43.

1 HE HISTORY OP TROTTING.

Phenomenal Progress Since the Days of the
First Three Minute Trotter.

Some little idea may be obtained of the rapid growth of
trotting and the phenominal progress made in thiB rate of
speed by a comparison of a few events happening in different
decades during the present century. It was in the year 1818
that a horse first trotted in three minutes. It was accom-
plished at Jamaica, N. Y., by a horse called Boston Blue,
and was regarded as a notable performance. Nothing else
of importance transpired during that decade. In 1844 Lady
Suffolk trotted in 2:261, and the world wondered. In 1845
Moscow trotted in 2:30, in 1849 Ptlbani tiotted in 2:28, and
Lady Sutton in 2:30, and with a notation of these praise
worthy oerformances the history of that decade is written.

In 1S53 Highland Maid and TacoDy each trotted in 2:27.
In '59 George M. Patchen trotted in 2:26^, and Brown Dick
in C.2-V . and in 1859 the sun of that decade Bet in a blaze of
glory on account of the worll famed performance of Flora
Temple, when she trotted in 2:)9£. The news was flashed
to the uttermost parts of the earth, horsemen marveled and
predicted the end had come, the sturdy little mare waB pro-
claimed tbe Queen, and conservative men shook their heads
and indulged in melancholy musings over the fact that it
waB a fast age, and men and women were going to the dogs
because of their love and admiration for a healthful, pleas-
ant sport which many good men and true, believed immoral
During the nest decade trotting assumed some sort of form,
and 2:20 was frequently beaten. Iu '67. '68 and '69 Dexter
earned lasting lame by trotting in 2;17j. Lady Thome
trotted in 2:18i, American Girl in 2:19-J. In 7SRarus trotted
in 2:13*, in '74 Goldsmith Maid in 2:14. in '73 St. Julien
trotted "m 2:12$. in '78 Hopeful trotted in 2:14^, in 75 Lu la
trotted in 2:14£, and in 1S76 Smuggler trotted in 2:154, and
in '74 American Girl obtained a record of 2:164. By this
time trotting had become a recognized sport and a good part
of the stigma or odium atta lied to it had been removed,
while the business of breeding the trotter was assuming a
practical form find becoming reduced to a system.

In 1885 Maud S. trotted iu 2:0S|. 18S4 Jay-eye-see trotted
in 2:10, in 18S1-2 Trinket trotted in 2:14, in JSS2 Clingstone
went a mile in 2:14, in 1H80 St. Julien trotted in 2:11£, in
lS84Phallas trotted in 2:13J and the same year Maxie Cobb
was credited with a record of 2:134;. In 1887 Harry Wilkes
trotted a mile iu 2:13i, in 18SS Prince Wilkes trotted in
2:14f, and Rosaline Wilkes in 2:14^, in 1S87 Patron trotted
in 2:14i. in 1889 Guy trotted in2:10£. Sunol, a three year old
in 2:10j, Axtell, a three year old; in 2:12, Stambonl in 2:124.
Palo Alto in 2:12£, Belle Hamlin in 2:12f, and Bonnie Mc-
Gregor in 2:13*;.

It was in 1S76 that Smuggler obtained the stallion record
of 2:154/, and that stood against all competition for eight years
until Phallas trotted in 2:13f, and Maxie Cobb in 2:13i
These records defied all competition for five years, when the
record was beaten by three stallions, one of them a three year
old. It was in the year 1844 that 2:30 was firsi beaten, and
in the year 1889 there were nearly six hundred accessions to
the list. It was in 1883 that Hmda Eose astonished the
world by trotting to a three year old record of 2:19*. That
record stood unchallenged until 1887, when Sable Wilkes
trotted in 2:18, and since then it has been beaten by seven
other three year olds, and in 1S89 was reduced by Snnol to
2:10*. There are twelve three year olds that have trotted
in 2. "20 or better. In 1886 Manzanita trotted in 2.16 as a
four year old. That record has never been beaten, and only
once eaualed, and that waB in 18S9 by Edgemark It was in
1881 that Wildflower, a two year old, trotted in 2:21. That
record was never even approached until 1888, when Sunol
trotted in 2:18 and Axtel in 2:23, while in 1889 Regal Wilkes
trotted in ?:20£. Only cne two year old has beaten 2:20. In
1881 Hinda Rose, a yearling, trotted in 2:36ft. That record
was considered invincible until 1SS7, when Norlaine trotted
in 2.3I| and SuBie D. trotted in 2.35£. In 1888 Faustino trot-
ted a mile in 2:35, and this closes the list of fast yearlings.
This shows a moBt remarkable rate of progresB.

There occurs occasionally a phenomenal performance,
made perhaps nnder advantageous circumstances by a su-
preme effort; with everything, including nature and the
ingenuity of man in its favor. This performance is rarely
equaled until a certain combination of foroes or fortunate
circumstances afford opportunity, and then the attempt is
made. The die is cast, some speculative or daring individ-
ual risks all upon one grand supreme effort; all circumstanc-
es are favorable, and at once, almost as by an electric spark,
records are broken and smashed to atoms, a great victory
over time and almost over nature is won, and applauding
thousands witneFS, without fully appreciating its full sig-
nificance, a phenomenal event. Perhaps the grandest
struggle against the old man with the scythe was the battle
royal last year between the great 3-year oldB, Sunol and
Axtell. In all its conditions it was an unequal contest.
On the one eide was the prestige of wealth, recognized breed-
ing, a famous sire and one of the most competent trainers
and handlers of colt trotters the world has ever seen. On
tbe other hand was a poor, obscure young man, a colt by a
sire "to fortune and to fame unknown," very little money
and presumably very little judgment in training and
handling. The record is. as it Teads to-day: Axtell, 2:12,
king of stallions; Sanol, 2:10}, qoeen of 3-year-olds.

Tbe grand filly, almost unapproachable, in the marvelous
Bplendor of her supreme performance, has earned the laurel
she so proudly wears; earned it by tention of nerves and
muscle, by one grand, gloriouB, series of great deeds that
have placed her away bayond her kind, and made her name
throughout the length and breadth of this great land a house-
hold word. The wonderful colt, born in a little country
town, educated, trained and driven by an amateur whom all
the world laughed at, shipped from town to town, from State
to State, from track to track, wherever there was a dollar in
sight; trotted under all sorts ot disadvantageeus circum-
stances, and finally by one grand, unexpected, unlooked-for
great effort, crowned king of stallions. The great filly, 2:101,
the superb stallion, 2:12; which is the greater do you say?
That's for you to decide, gentle reader. We don't know or
don't care. We knew them both as babies, and watched
them both in their grand career. One thing we do kno\t,
and it is thi«: Their dams were each by eires almost un-
known, entirely without reputation, among men as brood
mare sires. One thing we don't know is this, and that ia
why their dams were not one or the other some far famed
mare of great reuown, a queen mother in some great brood-
mare family. From abBoIote obscurity two mares bave been
raised to the highest pinnacle of fame by the performance of
two of tbe greatest youngsters ever born, and it is the very
irony of fate that these self-same mares were by sires un-
known to fame.

Why is it, do you say? Quien Sabe; who knows? Who
can tell? Who, among all the wiee mem, the eminent
creators and formnlators of beautiful theories, will rise and
explain? The people are anxiously waiting. Let the scien-
tist who has fathomed the awful mysterie3 of life and death
or the flippant theorist who knows all about it, solve the
problem and instruct the people. As for us, we have passed
that point in the study of the Bcience of breeding, and hon-
estly and humbly proclaim ourselves a mere student of the
mysteries of the great mother nature, and be it understood
the more we study, the more we observe, the less competent
we feel to instruct; the more humble we feel as to our abso-
lute knowledge of the great science. More and more, as we
observe and study are we inclined to be humble, and be sat-
isfied to be a recorder of facts and events, leaving to abler
and more astute minds and to men who have studied and
observed less, the task of elucidating the great problem and
of explaining it to tbe people. Some one will criticise this
article, and we will be glad of it, for as the great premier of
Eoglaud wrote. "Critics are the men who have failed," and
again a great poet said: "To every trade man serves ap-
prenticeship save to the trade of censure. Critics allare ready
made." Vhat we wonld like to see and what the people
demand is that some estimable gentleman who has never
bred a mare or owned a trotter, and who could scarely tell
whether a horse had a spavin or th« glanders should explain
these so-called mysteries— Clark's Horse Review,

Have Mercy on the Horses.

Ab the spring work begins, writes a farmer in the Michigan
Farmer, remember horses feel the heat as much ot more than
we do, as, if we become burdened, we can easily lay aside
our heavy clothing and substitute that which is lighter.
The horBe cannot always do this, for although nature pro*.
claims that animals "shed their coat" in the spring, yet it is
often the case that the horse does not part with his heavy
coat of hair until late in the season. TheD, too, do not hnrry
him tco much. How would you relish being urged contin-
ually at your work? when limbs are growing weary and exer-
cise and Bunsbine combine to bring the perspiration starling
from every pore, to have a whip flourished around youreare,
while Borne cne who holds the reins shouts "Get up!"' How
good it would seem to Btop and rest a minute to get your
breath! Perhaps when that corner is reached you will hear
the welcome "whoa". Ab the corner is neared you involun-
tarily slacken your pace, expecting to be allowed to stop.
But no, instead is heard the command to go on, enforced
quite likely by a whiz of the whip.

How a good drink of water would taste, yonr mouth is bo
hot ! But you know better than to expect that ; and when at
last, tired and panting, you are allowed to reBt a few min-
utes the driver drops his lines, and if It be not too far from
tbe pump, you soon hear the sound of gushing water, and
as he drains cup after cup of tbe refreshing fluid you can
only hope be will perhaps remember that you are thirsty too,
and bring you some. But no; back he comes empty-handed!
when only one pail of water would have been bo refreshing
to you and your mate. For you know quite well that tbe
idea that a drink of water will injure a horse when warm anv
more than it will a man is utterly false, unless it be used
immoderately.

Then there is the check-rein. What it was ever invented
for is more than you or I know. It is nothing but a torture
when at work to have your head drawn up, and do what
yon will you cannot get rid of it. You turn your head this
way and that, trying to get a little relief, and have the whip
applied for your pains. Then, when yon have to start a
load, how mudh easier it is if you can get your head down.

Blinders are another thing often annoying to a horse.
How often we see them so close to the eye that they impede
the free action of the eye-lashes, which would be very annoy-
ing to us, and why is it not to the horse? Look over that
work harness, and if there is any tendency on the part of
the blinders to "lop" over the horse's eyes, cut them off, and
you will never have cause to regret it. A horse soon be-
comes accustomed to their absence, and I am sure if he Lad
a voice in the matter, would much prefer to have them re-
moved.

Then when you hitch np to go to town don't expect to
make a 6rat-class carriage horse out of one that has been
working in the plow all week, and pull his head in the air
and expect him to trot off as livtly as a colt.

Much of the cruelty practiced upon farm horses (and it is
nothing less) is the result of thoughtlessness, abd pages
might be written on the subject. How oft n are the horses
jerked and yelled at in cultivating, only making them exci-
ted and incapable of performing their work as well as they
would if handled quietly and gently!

I have in mind a horse of nervous temperament, which
with quiet treatment is an excellent horse to cultivate with,
scarcely ever stepping out of place, apparently aa carefui
to keep off the hills of corn or potatoes as a person wonld*be.
At a blow or harsh word or jeak of the reins she is fairly wild,
jumping into the next row, taking the oultivator too in her
excitemeDt.

Don't urge the slow-walking team to keep up with one
that walks faster. Note the difference in people as to gait.
Some men will with perfect ease walk twice as fHst as others;
and ought the slow horse be blamed because he cannot keep
up with aoother?

Particular attention should be given to the collar that it
does not cause a gall. A well fitting collar, kept smooth
and clean, will rarely give trouble in that direction.

Grim's Gossip.

The new state book arranged by Mr. Ferguson is meeting
with great sale.

The Horse "World, formerly issued as a monthly, now ap-
pears as a weekly. It is a readable papsr and deserves suc-
cess.

Mr. Walter S. Vosburgh, official handicapper of the New
York Jockey Club, has been appointed to the same position
by the Monmouth Park Association.

Mohawk Chief was seen not long since at Palo Alto pulling
a barrow on the Kindergarten track. He is as handsome a
horse as ever, and took to his work kindly.

The well known horseman, Lee Mantle of Butte, Mont.,
was crushed by the explosion of a boiler in the Silver Bow
Electric Light Works, in Bntte, on Friday, June 13th.

Seconds and thirds seems to be as near as the Malte e
Villa Stable can get to the front intheE*st. Everyone would
be pleased to see Porter Ashe's pretty cherry jacket in
the van once or twice.

Mr. Valensin has not quite recovered from his late illness,
although he has been able to be around once more. At preF-
ent he is rusticating at Bartlett Springs, taking advantage of
the health giving waters.

Geraldine has been unfortunate enough to run second
quite a number of times in very fast time, but those whc
have pinned their faith to the mare have reason to believe
that she will shortly show her heels to the best of them.

W. B. Sanborn of Santa Rosa was in town Monday, and he
reports favorably in regard to the horses in training at the
track there. He says that Sonoma County is prepared to
spring a surprise or twn on the trottingworld when the season
opens.

The Hills Bros, of Lornpoc, Santa Barbara Co. have lately
purchased the bay stallion Commodore Nutwood by Nut-
wood, the consideration paid being §1,000 and a valuable
mare. The horse has a record of 2:32 and has shown a trial
in 2:28.

The famouB Green Mountain Maid's youngest son, Lance-
lot, is three years old, and those who have seen him recently
say he is the beet of his wonderful family, and he will prob-
ably enter the 2:30 list this season. Ed Bither is training
him.

H. Silverman of 1016 Golden Gate Avenue has for sale, the
mare Elaine by Bonner (son of Chieitain 721) dam by Mc-
Crackens Black Hawk. Elaine is only nine years old and
shonld prove a valaable brood mare for those that are look-
ing for bargains.

Victor 2:22 who bes stood during the season at Napa, has
been taken to Iadian Valley, where his owner Mr. Doherty
will prepare him for another campaign, Victor is one of the
favorites on the circuit and race goers always look for a sen-
sation whenever he appears.

The good people of San Luis Obispo are going to have a
one day's meeting on July 5th. Mr. Lew Warden reports
that the track is in superb condition being both fast and
safe; he also says that the regular fall races will commence
on Sept. 2nd and end on the 6lh.

Robert Bonner and a party of friends have paid a visit to
Terre Haute to inspect Sonol and everything is satisfactory.
The great four-year-old ruoved a quarter in 311-5 seconds,
at which Mr. Bonner was much pleased. The query of the
day among horsemen is, how fast can Sunol go?

The Tennessee correspondent of this paper was the first to
announce that Brown Hal 2:12$ had paced a quarter in 28
seconds. Considerable discredit was thrown on the state-
ment, but now Major Campbell Brown comes forward and
verifies the report, which settles the disputed point.

The horse loving people of Los Angele3 aTe confident that
they will have one of the best meetings of the circuit and
that the entry list will be very large. The Directors are
already assured of patronage enough from horse owners to
feel that that they were warranted in offering large purses.

The Greenville (Plumas County) Driving Park Association
has been organized with a cash capital of $400, and land has
been leased in the neighborhood of the city from Frank
Kruger. The Directors of the Association are D. Mclntyie,
G. S, Bransfoid, C. H. Lawrence, D. McKinley and D. L.
Haun.

"We are under many obligations to Edwin F. Smith, Secre-
tary of the State Agricultural Society for a copy of the pub-
lished report of the society for the year 1889. In addition
to a complete record of all the races which took place at the
State Capitol, there are also full reports of the contests that
took place at the other Agricultural Meetings throughout the
State.

R. L. Carroll tells me be will have the Oakland programme
out nest week in the Breeder and Sportsman. Four days
trotting and pacing will be provided for the talent, while the
thoroughbred element will net be neglected, as three days
will be devoted to their mode of progression, and probably
rive races a day, for which free purses on a liberal scale will
be hung np.

Jf the telegraphed accounts are true. Judge Green, Presi-
dent of the St. Louis Jockey Club, is in very bad odor,
owing to a decision given on Thursday last, he naming a
wrong horse as winner. Mr. Green has always held a high
place among the patrons of the turf and I [should be loath to
believe that he was guilty of intentional wrong, unless the
testimony against him was overwhelming.

B"Wm. Napier of Pleasanton was in the city on Wednesday,
and from him I learn that the Three Cheers — Queen Emma
filly, owned by Schweere «fc Napier has been sent to the
stable of Matt Storn at Sacramento to receive preparatory
work for a fall campaign. She has been well entered in all
the stakes of this year, and "Billy" seems to think that he
has got a "show in" for at least a part of the money.

Before another issue of this paper the ball will have started
rolling at Chicago, and many Californian horses will have
shown to the world what they are capable of doing. The
Smith Stable, as well as one belonging to T, H. Williams,
have been quartered at Washington Park for some time, and
those who fancy the runners have every reason to believe that
both of these strings will give good accounts of themselves.

Two well known horsemen met in the office of the Breed-
er and Sportsman a few clays ago and a controversy arose
as to how fdSt Sunol was likely to trot daring the year 1890.
The wordy war finally finished by a wager being made thai
the peerless queen would show a mile sometime during the
year in 2:06. This may seem rather a low mark to set for
the great mare, yet still there are scores who expect to see
her perform the marvelouB feat.

Major Campbell Brown. Ewell Farm, SpriDg Hill, Tenn.,
has sold to W. C. Jones, Columbia, Tenn , a half interest
in the chestnut horse McEwen, 4 yr. old record 2:18},
foaled 18S5, by McCurdy's Hambletonian 1644, record 2:26*
{eon of Harold 413 and Belle, dam of Belmont by Mambrino
Chief) dam Mary M. by Bassinger. This is the young horse
that maty EiBtern turfmen think can beat Direct.

A big hunt for wild horses ended successfully at Casper,
WyomiDg, last Monday. Three weeks ego a party of four
cowboys started for Salt creek to try and capture a herd of
wild horses which nave ranged in the vicinity for several
years. The wild herd was sighted and circled into a narrow
canyon, where thirty of them were captured. They were all
magnificent animals. Seven of them were branded, the re-
mainder were "slicks," or horses which had run wild
from birth.

Mr. J. H. Walters, proprietor of the Lakeport track will
have a one day meeting on Saturday, June 27th. Six events
are on the programme, three being for trotters and a like
number for the "bang tails." This is the season of the year
when life is eDjoyable in Lake County and as the famous
summer resorts of that section are already extensively patro-
nized, the day's sport should be generously supported by
both the local residents, and those who are at present up
there for recreation and pleasure.

Mr. Irvin Ayres, owner of Alpheus 2:27, has leased that
stallion to H. D. Albright of San Luis Obispo, who will in
all probability have him trained and trotted in the southern
pare of the state during the present year. Alpbens is by
Mambrino Wilkes 6033, dam by Major Mono. Mr. Albright
will also make the season of 1891 with the horse at or near
his home, and it will be a splendid opportunity for those
owning well bred mares in that neighborhood, to secure the
services of a well bred and d ad game horse.

Matt Storn has eight thoroughbreds in training at the S*c-
ramento track, and they are all doing well. Lurline has been
bred to imp Cheviot, but will be seen in races thiB fall. Mari-
gold is moving nicely, and Matt expects to win with her on
the circuit. A two year old filly by Three Cheers, dam
Mistake (dam of Kildare) is a beauty, closely resembling in
looks Mr. Haggin's mareFirenzi. The stable boys are very
sweet on her, and she has been named Mystery. Mr J Storn
also has bis trotter Belvidere doing slow work, and threatens
to give him a record this fall.

There can be no reason to doubt the ultimate success of
the Pacing Horse Breeders Association, which will meet at
the Gibson House, Cincinnati on Thursday of next week.
The gentlemen having the matter in hand are enthusiastio
iu the cause and will carry the matter to a successful con-
clusion. The interests of horse breeding demands a strong
organization for registery purposes, and it is proposed that
the committee appointed for the purpose will have a good
set of rules to lay before the association to regulate the
pacers of America.

"There is no quality that exerts a greater influence on the
selling value of road horses, family horses and coach horses
than the quality of beauty. A horse of symmetrical form,
with gracefully curved neck, clean limbs, fine head and
proud demeanor, pleasing color and silky coat, will almost
always sell readily for all he is worth, whether he is large or
small, fast or slow. Other horses that are rough coated,
homely colored, and of ungainly form will have to go beg-
ging for a customer, even though they may be far more ser-
viceable animals than the beauties.

It is likely that Bess, by Fadladeen, out of Betsy, has run
her last race. She ran away th6 other day, and covered three
miles before she could be pulled qd. While she suffered no
apparent haim, it is probable that she will be out out of train-
ing.

Ooeof the noticeable features at Palo Alto is the quietness
with which everything is conducted. There is never any
load or boisterous language, and swearing in aod aronDd the
stables is never heard. This is in contradistinction to many
of the tracks and farms in the State, where most of the rub-
bers and grooms seem to think it essential and necessary to
use rough and coaise language to the animals under their
charge, yet still there is not a stable in the country where
trotting horses are more quiet and gentle than they are at
Senator Stanford's.

"Kennesaw," the well known collector of news for the
Breeder and Sportsman, in Tennessee, has from the first
proclaimed that Rio Bey would never face the starter again,
and now his prognostications turn out to be true, for Mr.
Winters has had his suburb colt thrown out of training,
and the son of Norfolk and Marion will be sent back to
Nevada to take the place of his sire iu tbe stud. He was
the great colt of his year, end it only remains to be seen
whether his younger brother can follow in El Rio Rev's illus-
trious footsteps.

A match race, half a mile and repeat, took place at Los
Alamos, Santa Barbara Co., list week between Harris' Pinto
stallion and Hill's bay mare, the amount run for beiDg $500.
Oar correspondent writes and says: "Ii is astonishing how
some horses will run slower the more they train on, but
perhaps it is not always the fault of the horse, the trainer
has mnch to do with it and the riders often make a horse
run faster one day than they can another. Hill's bay mare
one mouth ago could negotiate a half mile in 52 seconds, yet
still, on the day of the race she was easily beaten by Pinto
in 57 and 574."

Attention is called to the programme of the 17th Agricul-
tural District, the races of which will take place at Glenbrook
Park, commencing August 19th, when $6, SOU in purees will
be distributed among those fortunate enough to own the win-
ners. There are three races each day, aod as the purses are
more than liberal, it may be expected that the entry list will
be a large one. Last year the fair at Glenbrook Park was one
of the most successful held in the northern portion of the
State, and we confidently believe that the fair of 1S90 will be
even more so than the one of last vear.

Reports from the southern portion of the State confirms
the rumor that Nick Covorrubias has a grand race horse
this year in Dan Murphy. He has been given a couple of
"pipe openers," the first being a half mile in 49 seconds,
while a mile was made in the fast iime of 1:42.}. The well
known trainer Gus Walters is handling all of Nick's horses
and has them in the pink of condition; they will no doubt
be heard from when the southern circuit opens. In the
same string is a very large, handsome three-year-old by
Hock-Hocking who runs just as fast as be pleases, no com-
pany is too speedy for him and he is expected to show his
heels to many during the circuit races.

A telegram was r^c^ived June 2 by District Attorney Fel-
lows, New York City, from the United States Consul at Ha-
vana, stating that Robert L. Wallace, tbe defaulting cashier
of the Waltace Register Company, had voluntarily surren-
dered to him $18,000 in United States bonds and $3 000 in
cash, being, it is presumed, all he had left of tbe $52,000
which he abstracted. Although there was no treaty of ex-
tradition between tbe United States and Spain, it is quite
possible that young Wallace and his companion, I. B. Lowitz,
may be brought back and punished for their crime.

Secretary F. P. Lowell, of the Sacramento Colt Stake Asso-
ciation, writes me to say that at the annual meeting held at
the race track, Sacramento, on Jane 10th, only two competi-
tors came forward to do battle for the two-year-old trotting
stake. The first was T. J. Draice's Farmington Boy, by Dex-
ter Prince, and the other A. L. Whitney's Anna Bell by
Dawn. The latter won easily in straight heats, the time
made being 2:53 and 3:01. Those who saw the race are
under the impression that the winner could have trotted in
2:40 or better if necessity had required.

The news had no sooner been received of Silvator's vic-
tory in the Suburban than the New York Herald telegraphed
to the San Francisco representative to send on a message as
to the manner in which the "win" was received by local
horsemen. As was only natural the correspondent at once
visited the Breeder and Sportsman office, where a large
number of prominent horsemen had congregated to discuss
tbe good work done by Mr. Haggin's colt. It was the gen-
erally expressed belief that Salvator is the best horse of the
year, as he beat the best cracks of the East carrying lumps
of weight.

Two races are announced for July 4th at Petaluma. The
Srst one is for a purse of $200, mile heats, three in five, with
the following horses: Lee Shaner names b b Poco Tempo by
Anteeo; A. N. Burrell names b m Lillie Mac by Auctioneer
Johnnie; J. B. Hinkle names b s Whalebone by Iuca; Steve
Crandall namea b m Mountain Quail by Hernanni. The
second race will be contested for by C. Futroe's g m Nellie
RuBtic by Rustic; A. N. Burrell's b m Annie L by Alexander;
R. S. Brown's bg Bobbin and Dan Misners g g Chappo by
RuBtic.

Peter Woods, who has had a large stable of horses at the
Bay District Track in training, has been engaged by Gilbert
Tompkins, Esq., owner of the Souther Stock Farm, to
prepare the promising horses on theFarm for the fall circuit.
Mr. Woods will have the grand yonng stallion El Benton
under his charge and also the four year old Glen Fortune.
I consider the first named one of the best two year olds in
tbe State to-day, and under "Pete's" able management
should make a sure enough trotter.

One of the most important siles that has taken place in
California for many a day, was cousumated on Tuesday last;
B. C. Holly of Vallejo, purchasing from J. A. Goldsmith of
San Mateo, the chestnut mare Manoo 2:21, by Nutwood,
dam Addie (dam of Woodnut 2:16^) by Husbrouck's Hamble*
Ionian Chief, son of Hambletonian 10. With the mate, goes
her three living foals; the first a ob. f. foaled 18SS, the sec-
ond a blk colt foaled 1889, and a eh. colt foaled 1890, all of
the three baing by Guy Wilkes 2:15^, and the mare is bred
back to the same horse. The price paid was $20,000, and
from the way prices go at present, the sum is not exorbitant.
In buying Manon, Mr. Holly h^s returned to his early lure,
for that good mare is a full sister to his celebrated stallion
Woodnut, which he sold last year to Mr. Steele of Cedar
Farm. If the colt of last year is in good condition twelve
montbB from now, Mr. Holly should be able to sell him for
an amount equal to what he paid for the lot.

In the current number will be found an advertisement
from the Directors of the Stockton Fair Association in which
they announce the opening of five slakes and purses which
will be trotted for during their meeting, commencing Sep-
tember 23rd. The 1st is a guarantee purse of SI, 000 for
the three minute class; the 2nd is a guarantee purse of $1,-
000 for the 2:25 clasB; the 3rd for four-year-olds or under
with a purse of $500, open to the district only; the 4th is for
the 2:30 class and the 5th for the 2:40 class, both of the
latter being for a guaranteed puree of $1,000 each. They
also announce the openiDg of the Amador Stake for the
running division open to horses of all ages. This stake is
for animals owned in Amador, Calaveras, San Joaquin
and Stanislaus counties. The entrance is $20 each for all
starters with $150 added; the2nd horse to reiceve half the en-
trance money, the distance teing one njile. For the guaran-
teed trotting purses, the entrance is 10 per cent., payable as
followB: $30 on July 1st, when nominations close; $35
on August 1st, and $35 on September 1st,- when horse
must be named. As is usual iu all nomination parses,
neglect to make payments forfeits all previous amoonta paid

A meeting of the representatives of the fair associations of
Napa, Petaluma, San Jose and Oakland was held in the
Breeder a>"d Sportsman offices last Saturday. F L. Coombs
represented Napa; G. H. Bragg, San Jose: J. H. White and
R Brown. Petaluma; R. T. Carrol, Dr. Lathem and George
Bement, Oakland. A lengthy discussion took place in regard
to haviug tbe same class of races at each of the meetings and
thuB make it an inducement for horse owners to enter with
a chance of earning a respectable amount of money through
the circuit, it being conceded that it was not worth an
owner's while to go to the trouble and expense of training a
horse for only one race and it is confidently expected that by
giving a series of races of one pattern at four of tbe most
prominent meetings, a larger and more uniform class of
horses would enter and better con tests would ensue. With this
object it was ultimately decided to give at San Jose, Napa,
Petaluma and Oakland a 2:20 trot and 2:27 trot the opening
day, on the third day of tbe meeting a 3.-00 trot and a 2:30
pace, and oc another day a 2:24 trot and a free-for-all pace.
The first day at Napa, San Jose and Petaluma will be on a
Tuesday. Oakland will commence on Monday, September
1st and continue to Tuesday, Sept. 9th, and will include
three days for runners and four for trotters and ptu

A Convert.

One of the best known and most popular of writers on
the trotting horse is "Iconoclast," wnose able articles in
each successive issue of the Kentucky Stock Farm are
read with much interest by all who have a fondness for
the trotter. For a long, long time he has made strong
and aggressive war against the thoroughbred theory in
trotters, and has hit many heavy blows in defense of his
pet theory; however, he undoubtedly finds that at least
a little thoroughbred is a good thing in the present day,
as in the current number of his valued paper he makes
use of the following remark: "There is no breeder who
is not glad to have the blood of Miss Russell on his farm;
;t is the very giUsst of gilt edged crosses." We are only
too glad to see that tho Judge ha* come around a little
bit to our way of thinking, and sincerely trust that be-
fore many days he may see fit to become a etroDg advo-
cate of Senator Stanford's theory.

The Haggin Sale.

It must be a source of great satisfaction to Mr. Haggin
and Jno. Mackey, his superintendent, to know that the
stock which is bred at Rancho del Paso is so highly
thought of by Eastern buyers. The telegraph has not as
yet given us full particulars as to the average mads at
the great sale on Monday last, but enough has been
wired over to warrant the belief that all former averages
have been beaten at this great sale. "When the stock
left Sacramento some few week* ago, it was the concen-
sus of opinion that never before had such a grand lot o*
yearlings ever left this State, and this opinion has been
borne out by the purchasers as in many instances the
large prices obtained were not on account of the breed-
ing alone but of the magnificent individuality of the
animals offered for sale, and it can hardly be wondered
at, that buyers are plenty and eager in their efforts to
obtain the thoroughbreds annually offered for sale by
Mr. Haggin, for at each of the Eastern sales which he
Las had, there have been many noted horses sold and
many stake winners secured. The extremely large aver-
age attained in 1888 was due in a measure to the price
obtained for King Thomas, $38,000 being the figure at
which he was purchased by Mr. Appleby, who in tu*-n
disposed of him for $40,000 to Senator Hearst; and last
ytar the average was still kept up by the St. Blaze colt,
which was bought by Mr. Daly fur §22,000 and the Ex-
plosion yearling which brought the handsome sum of
$10,000. This year we find, however, that there have
been no sensational prices paid for any of the yearlings,
but taken all in all the prices are higher than those ob-
tained at the former sales. This encouraging outlook is
enough to warrant the extension of breeding establish-
in ents in this State and is enough to force one to the be-
lief that in the very near future Eastern buyers will be
apt to visit California to attend annual sales, instead of
California breeders having to send their horses back to
the Eastern market.

Napa Aroused.

The communication which appears in another column
signed "Napa Sportsman" is like scores of others which
reach us month after month, year out and year in. It
need not be said that the Breeder and Sportsman de-
precates illegal fishing, the consistent course of this pa-
per for many years is well known and has always made
for the strictest observance of the game and fish laws.

Oar repeated utterances in relation to the matter have
often times been reproduced in our exchanges, and we
hope have contributed to the creation and growth of a
right popular sentiment with regard to game and fish.
At times it seems advisable to use severe phrases in
characterizing the vandals who persist in destroying
breeding fish and game and the young, and when such
language has been used we have made no reservation,
nor have we regretted its use, but it is apparent that
the Breeder and Sportsman: without the active co op
eration of the officials in the various counties and the
intelligent assistance of sportsmen everywhere can ac-
complish but little. We know the hesitancy natural
when it is proposed to impeach a neighbor and can
hardly blame individuals for refusing to proceed active-
ly against their fellow townsmen, even though it is no-
torious that they are violating the law as to fish and
game. In theory no citizen can be excused who shuts
his eyes in the presence of such violations, but in opera-
tion the police supervision of streams and shooting
grounds rests with the paid officers of the law who are
charged with a thousand other duties and who are
seemingly prone to wink at fish cases and game cases
anyhow. District attorneys as a rule let such matters
go by default. When prosecutions are vigorously
pushed it is generally at the instance of some one other
than the regular County officials and the fuDd necessary
must be contributed either by the State or by private
persons. The residents of Napa are the persons most
interested in maintaining a stand of food fish close at
hand and we would suggest that they bring pressure to
bear upon their District Attorney, their Sheriff and law
officers generally and make a few examples. If the
poaching vandals once see that the sentiment of the
community is averse to the continuance of their nefari-
ous practices there is every reason to suppose that ille-
gal fishing will cease. Meantime it might not be un-
wise for the sportsmen and anglers of Napa City to take
some concerted action as to the matters mentioned by
our correspondent. The Board of Fish Commissioners
has done very much and is now willing to do all that it
can in behalf of protection, but funds are not at band,
and it is really asking too much to ask that gentlemen
holding purely honorary positions shall open their
private purses for the general welfare. One point in
relation to our correspondent's letter we dislike; that is,
he does not mention the name of the persons he accuses.

When it is known absolutely that men are violating the
law, it has a good corrective effect to hold them up to
ignominy and to make their names by words.

Colt Stakes-

There can be no question but what Colt Stakes are be-
coming more popular every year, and under the exceed-
ingly low entrance fees required, breeders have no hes-
itancy in making a large number of entries in all stakes
offered either East or West. The great success of the
Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake in which of
the two hundred and eighty-four entries, all but eleven
were from the State of California, has warranted others
in opening up other Futurity Stakes. Oakland with its
usual characteristic enterprise followed suit and re-
ceived large and abundant entries. Petaluma is already
advertising a District Futurity Stake which will close on
July 1st. And now comes the Chicago Horsemen of-
fering a guaranteed stake that will be worth more money
at futurity than a field of colt trotters ever contended
for. This stake is for foals of 1890. and will be trotted
between July 1 and October 15, 1894. The Horsemen
guarantees a main stake of $11,000, divided, $5,000 to
the first horse, §2,500 to the second, S1.500 to the third,
$1,000 to the fourth, with plate to the actual value of
$1,000 to the breeder of the winner, and a consolation
stake of $1,500, to be trotted within four days from the
date of the decision of the first race, open to horses that
start and win no part of the main stake. The entrance
of $200 is payable as follows. $ 10 with the nomination,
on or before July 1, 1890, $10 on January 1, 1891, $10
July 1, 1891, $10 January 1, 1892, $10 July 1, 1892, $10
January 1, 1893, $10 July 1, 1893, $25 July 1, 1892, $25
January 1, 1894, and $100 for taosa declaring to start
on July 1, 1894.

Bad Luck.

Last year the phenomenal luck of C. W. Williams, of
Independence, Iowa, was in the mouths of everyone in-
terested in any way in horse breeding. Starting as a
poor man he bred two mares, one to William L. and the
other to Jay Bud and from these two unions produced
the wonderful colt Axtell 2:12 and Allerton 2:18+, both
records being made at three years of age. From these
two mares has be secured an ample fortue, selling Ax-
tell as he did, for the enormous sum of $ 105,000 yet still
retaining Allerton for his own use and benefit. It would
seem that lightning does not strike twice in the same
place for we are sorry to have to anuounce that last yea
four mares were bred to William L., the Bire of Axtell
and Mr. Williams has been unfortunate enough to have
nothing to show from the connections; two of the mares
did not get in foal, a third one dropped a dead colt and
the last of the quartette had a foal which only lived two
days. Mr. Williams is a clear headed young man who
will not take seriously to heart these sad losses but will
undoubtedly breed back again, to see if there is still an-
other Axtell in the loins of William L.

Goodwin's Official Stake Book-

We take much pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of
a copy of Goodwin's Official Stake Entries for 1890, '91
and '92, containing the entries for all stakes which have
closed from Monmouth Park and Saratoga Associations,
and American, Coney Island, New York and Brooklyn
Jockey Clubs, together with a complete and carefully
compiled index, so that any horse whose name is men-
tioned in the book may be found very readily. Among
the other valuable data, we find dates of declarations,
closing of stakes, scale of weights, dates of meeting and
list of yearlings of 1890, which has been compiled
expressly for this work by Col. S. D. Bruce, compiler of
the American Stud Book. It is a very valuable work for
all horsemen, and should be in the hands of every breeder
and thoroughbred owner in the country. East year the
price of the work was $10. but this year it has been
reduced to $5, at which price it may be obtained from
Messrs. Goodwin Bros., 241 Broadway, New York.

Nevada State Agricultural Society.

Taking time by the forelock the Directors of the
Nevada State Agricultural Society advertise their pro-
gramme for the annual fair to be held at Reno commenc-
ing Mjnday, September 22nd. The card, as will be seen
by reference to the advertisement is a good one, there
being liberal purses offered for the trotting, pacing and
thoroughhred divisions. Entries do not close until the
15th day of August next, by which time owners of
horBes eligible for the various classes will be able to de-
termine whether their animals are fit to start or not. We
shall have occasion to speak more fully of this event as
the time draws nearer for the entries to close.

The Guenoc Stock Farm.

1

A trip into Lake Connty at this season of the year is a
pleasure that is always looked forward to by those who either
from business or pleasnre are required to cross the moon-
tains. Last Friday morning a representative of the Breeder
am> Sportsman left this city for the purpose of visiting (he
oelebrated stock farm of Fredrick Gebhard Esq. It had
been determined tbat the trip should be made via Culistoga,
and on the train the time passed delightfully as we met those
two well known horsemen, Hon. Jno. Boggs and Professor
Heald. As is natural to infer, the conversation was on
equine matters only; Mr. Boggs, just as enthusiastic as in
the days of yore when he owned Old Langford, and the Pro*
feasor confident in the thought that he bus several trotters
now in training with which he expects to win many first
monies.

On arriving at the end of the railroad line, Mr. Palmer,
representing the Jliddletown and Harbin Springs stage Com-
pany was on hand to receive us with two reserved ont&ide
seats, and after a hearty luncheon at the Magnolia Hotel we
were soon on our way, crossing the St. Helena Mountains.
The air was perfumed from the rich scents arising from the
buckeyes and laurel which are to be found on both sides of
the road for almost the entire drive of eighteen miles; while
the day was warm, still the heat was not oppressive and as
the ponderous coach slowly traveled up the side of the
mountains a delightful breeze was experienced which was a
relief from the sun's rays, and tended to make the grand pan-
oramic effects, which are seen from the mountains, more en-
joyable.

At 3.15 the stage pulled up in front of the Middletown
Hotel and we fouod in waiting Dr C. W. Aby, Superinten-
dent of the Guenoc & Langtry Farms, with a carriage and
four ready to take us the balance of the journey, some eight
or nine miles. In very short order we arrived at the hand-
some residence of Mr. Gebhard, but owing to the fatigue
from the journey, it was deemed expedient to postpone the
object of our visit until tbe f3llowing morning.

Already much has been written in these columns in refer-
ence to the stock owned at Guenoc, but now we wish to see
what class of foals has arrived since our last visit to the
place. After an evening delightfully spent in talking over
old reminiscences, many good stories being told by the
genial doctor of things he had heard and seen while at old
Nantura, tbe stallions were brought out the following morn-
ing for inspection. They are under the charge of Mr. Cbas.
Drew, a young Englishman of extended knowledge in mat-
ters equine. It was with pardonable pride that he brought
out horse after horse for our inspection; the first one shown
being the well bred imported Greenback; the extraordinary
good care which this horEe has received since his importa-
tion to Guenoc has considerably improved his appearance,
and as we had not seen him Bince shortly after his arrival,
the improvement was easily noticed. From his lordly ap-
pearance and exquisite breeding it is little wonder that he
received the first premium at the State Fair last September.
St. Savior was the next horse shown and he looked as full
of tire and courage as he did on that memorable day when
led out to do battle for the Emporium StakeB in which he
was cut down, and yet with the gameness characteristic of
hisfamily finished second to the celebrated Rataplan, on three
legs only. The old scar is still observable, but in his ex-
ercise he shows no evil effects from the wound, and when
being cantered back to the stable it was all the boy could do
to hold him back.

.friar Tuck, the noted son of a noted Bire, by Hermit, dam
Romping Girl, by Wild Dayrell, is a most beautifully formed
horse and one that should nick with the grand American
mares that are to be found at the Gebhard Farm. He is a
handsome animal and typical of the Hermit family, his ser-
vices have been in great demand and it is not to be won-
dered at, for his breeding entitles him to a place with the
best.

Several other entires were also shown, but as they were
not of as high order as those spoken of, it is hardly neces-
sary to mention them.

"We now come to the primary object of our visit, viz , the
foals of the year, and it is a hard matter to describe them in-
dividually where each of them are so near perfection. Glen
Queen has a bay colt by St. Savior for which the name "St.
Peter" has been claimed, be is a handsome well behaved
youngster and shows his grand breeding in every step he
takes.

Leverette has a handsome chestnut filly called "Lake
County" by imp. Greenback who gives every evidence of
proving a thorough race horse, Bhe is a finely finished little
thing and is a credit alike to sire and dam.

We Eaw also the old and well known race mare Night Hawk,
proud and happy in the possession of a bay colt with a
blazed face by St. Savior. This elegant young gentlemaD,
from the performances of his parents should prove a race-
horse of no mean ability.

Imp. Restless, a bay colt by St. Savior, a grand looking foal
well put up, with strong sturdy legs and good back. The
word little can hardly be applied to him, for he seems to be
farther advanced, considering his age, than any suckling we
have seen this year.

Her Ladyship has a grey or brown filly by Greenbai k, who
is worthy of mention as she is a very handsome animal. In
fact, more so than her dam who will be remembered by the
patrons of the turf, as Bhe ran only a few year ago.

We also had the pleasure of seeing Mistake, Mr. J. B.
Chass's mare, who has a handsome bay colt by imp. Friar

Tuck. This is one of the best looking foals on the farm, and
Mr. Chase may be congratulated on having such a fine foal
from the daughter of Katy Pease.

We also saw Priscilla who is the mother of a chestnut colt
by imp. Mariner, she having been sent up to the farm to be
bred to imp. Greenback.

Glen Ellen was also seen, she having been sent to the farm
to be bred to St. Savior.

Tne largest foal on tbe place is called "Guenoc" in honor
of the farm name. He is by imp. Greenback and out of
Wah-ta-Wah. If size and appearance are crilerions, Guenoc
should prove a world beater.

The old Daniel Boone mare Prosperine has a very fine
chestnut filly by Greenback. This is a beautifalanimal, and
one from whom much is expected.

Another of the Daniel Boone mares, Una, formerly owned
by Judge Shatter of this city, has a brown filly by imp.
Greenback, Leonie being the name claimed for her.

MiBS Hooker has a very nice bay filly at her side by St.
Savior, the name for which is claimed being "Itawamba."

These are a few of the many that were seen at this great
farm, and it was with pleasure that Dr. Aby informed us
that late in the summer he will start East to bring out an-
other carload of especially eelected mares for Guenoc.

To those who take this trip for the first time it may Beem
a long distance to go, but on arrival one is amply repaid for
ail the trouble and bother that it may have cost, for beyond
doubt there is no place in California that is the superior to
the Guenoc Farm for the purposes for which it is intended.

The rich native grasses were so thick and heavy that quaD.
titles have fallen from its own weight, one field especially of
red top clover being thicker than any ever seen before by the
writer. Fully a year has elapsed since the last visit was paid
there, and the additions and improvements made by Dr.
Aby have completely changed the look of the farm; paddocks
have been laid ont, fences rebuilt, stallion barns erected,
with stables and other necessary buildings in profusion. A
race track has been surveyed in the large field directly in
front of Mr. Gebhard's residence, and when finished will be
the equal of any training track in the State; it will be a full
mile in length and forty feet in width, with the usual grade
on the turns. It would hardly do for a public track, as in
the center is a large field of oaks, which -m a private track
simply adds to the beauty of the place and does not detract
but very little from the sight seeing. Thirly-eight men are
now engaged on the place and mure v. ill be added to their
nunrber as it becomes necessary to finish up the vast and ex-
tensive improvements which are contemplated by the propri-
etor.

In starting for our return to the city, instead of coming
back via Middleton, the trip was made homeward over How-
ell Mountain, we arriving io St. Helena in ample time to
catch the afternoon train for San Francisco, where we duly
arrived in ample time for an early dinner.

VETERINARY.

The McCarty String.

From letters received from New York we learn that the
"irrepressible Dan" haB arrived at Fleetwood Park with a
very large number of California horses which he proposes to
sell, raffie or dicker off before the snow flies in the Eastern
StateB during the coming fall. He started from San Fran.
cisco during the first week in May and arrived in Chicago
with Mb four carloads all in good condition, not one having
even the most trifling ailment.

McCarty is as well known in the "Windy City as he is in
either New York or San Francisco, and it was not long be-
fore he had an enthusiastic crowd of horsemen around bim
to examine the consignment of California horses which he
had brought on with him. To Mr. Stinson, the owner of
Nutmeg 2:22i. Dan sold eight finely bred mares, viz: Susie
B. by Sargent's Brown Jug; Daisy Me Vernon by Mt. Vernon;
Lida S. by Fred Hull; Rosalie by Bay Rose 2:20i; Alzina by
Nephew; Lady Waterford by Waterford, Queen of Santa
Maria by Brigadier 2:21£, and Loretta 2:29i. He also sold
Grayson by Elector (sire of J. R. 2:24), to a party living in
Willon, Maine, for $5000. Three road horses were also dis-
posed of to different parties for $1500, $1000 and $800, the
entire sales jast completing a carload. A week ago last Friday
the outfit arrived at Fleetwood, and during the week Dan
has been busy at work trying to dispose of the other three
carloads. On last Sunday McCarty electrified the spectators
by giving the brown gelding. Milton, a half mile in l:09i,
the best time made for the distance on the track so far this
year. Wesley, a four year old green horse by Mr. Richard's
Elector, was sent a mile in 2:33$, the last half beiog com-
pleted in 1:14£. Wesley is a very promising young horse,
and will surely make a fast one as he has had but two work-
outs since Dan bought him.

Of course it would not be "White Hat" if he did not pat*
ronize the running tracks, and already he has made two very
large winnings figuring up iu the thousands. Oar corre-
spondent says tbat while the party was in Chicago they were
shown two handsome Director colts, one a brother to Mar-
garet S. called Pleasanton, and the other out of Sweetness
(the dam of Sidney) who will undoubtedly make a good
mark for himself under the appropriate name of Saccharine.
They looked bo well and moved bo nicely that the McCarty
party were all pleased with the beautiful animals, especially
as they were California productions. Sidney stands very
high in the East as a sire, so our correspondent writes, and
he furthermore says "We will have aohance to see one of hia
get start for first money at Fleetwood as the Parkville Stock
Farm has Sidney Smith entered in the 6low class, and be ia
well spoken of by those who have seen him move. Will
write and tell you what he does. More anon."

W. T. W.

I have an aged gelding which has shown signs of lameness
for about six or seven months. There is no swelling on the
fore legs and I cannot detect any sore spot. He rests one
front foot and then the other, as if the pain was in the feet.
Will you please inform me what is the cause of lameneBB, and
the best reujpdy to apply.

Answer. — Judging from the description of your lame horse
I have no hesitation in pronouncing tbf> animal to be lame
from navicular disease. The remedy I would suggest, ia to
have the operation of neurotomy performed, and I have no
doubt tbat if tbe operation is properly and skillfully per-
formed that the horse with care will last you some time.

Cruelty to Animals.

I consider that it is necessary that attention be drawn to
tbe large amount of cruelty that is practiced in this city. It
may be safely said that it prevails to a greater extent than in
any other city in the States. One has only to observe the
poor wretches that are used by fruit and 6ah peddlars, and
notice the large piece of old sacking that is placed under the
saddle and withers. If this be removed, a large suppurating
wound will be brought to sight, and the sacking, in some
cases, stick fast to the wound.

It would be a great boon to these animals, if some influ-
ential persons would interest themselves on tbVir behalf, and
bring a few of the owners before the police jadge. and no
doubt the cruelty would quicklv decrease, at least for a time.

The milk ranches should also have some inspection as
regards cruelty, to say nothing of the sanitary arrangements.
The transportation of poultry in over-orowded boxes from
the East is a too frequent cause of cruelty, many of the birds
dying in transit from want of room and water.

The Deadly Glanders-

The following clipping ha* been sent to this office, but
without the name of the paper being mentioned, so we can
not give proper credit.

A number of horses have died in the vicinity of Madera
du ring the past few weeks from a mysterious disease.
The following excerpetd from a communication to the Fresno
Republican may throw some light on tbe subject, and should
be read by every owner of stock: "Every reader of your
estimable journal who owns or has horses or mules in his
possession ought to know that scores of animals in tbe val-
ley are affected and dying with glanders or farcy. It is no
stretch of imagination to Bay that the;.e fatal diseases are so
prevaleot that it is at a risk tbat one waters his horse at any
of the hundreds of inviting watering tiouehs in the county,
the glanders being far more easily contracted from nasal
droppings than from inhalation of tbe breath of diseased an-
imals. In fact, we have known horses tboB diseased to be
worked with and ran in the same pasture with sound horses
for months that did not contract the disease, whereas a sin-
gle drop of tbe virus did the deadly work. Hence watering
places are where the disease is most generally carried from
one animal to another, especially standing water, as in
troughs. It may not be generally known that the glanders
is a blood oisease and can easily te contracted by tbe hu-
man family, especially by a person troubled by catarrh or
lung trouble inhaling the breath of diseased animals, or by
the virus getting ioto any embrasure of tbe skio. Leprosy
and cancer are the only diseases to be equally dreaded and
compared with the glanders when once iu the system."

Answer— Flora Tfuiple, 2:19f, was bred by Samuel Welch,
Oneida County, N. I. She trotted several times in Chicago.

The Portland Races.

It ib very evident that there is something the matter with
the mails or there is something the matter with our Portland
correspondent, as we have failed to receive the full reports
of the racss at that point which we fully expected in time
for the current issue of the Breeder and Sportsman. The
following synopsis of the events have been culled from the
brief reports received in this city but which for some un-
accountable reason have been spoken of very rarely by the
daily papers.

On the first day the well known chestnut colt Guido by
Double Cross, dam Aurora by Thad Stevens, won a good
race beating the Dennison Bros . ' Princesses' First, Witmore's
Coloma, Green's J. M. B.. and Sear's Carrie M,, the horses
running in the order given. Time for the seven-eighths o*
a mile 1:31. Mutual pools on Guido paid $20.50. J. H.
McDonough was fcrtnDate enongh with his roan horse Tim
Murphy to win the half mile dash in 50 seconds, beating
such good ones as Daily Oregoniau, Sunday, Cyclone and
Ben L.

The 2:26 class for trotters brought out Kitty Ham, Alra,
Lady Beach and Blonrtie; Kitty Han won the first, 5th and
6th heats, the 2nd h^at btiuga dead one betwean her and
Alta; Lady Beach captured the 3rd heat while Blondie was
fortunate enongh to take the 4th. The best time made in
the race was 2:32.

On the second day Sunday won the rive-eighths dash in
the very good time of 1:03}.

The second race of the day, a mile-dash, fell to Guido with
Tom Dily, a good 2nd. Time 1:441.

The race for the 2:50 class for trotters was rather unin-
teresting, the winter turning by in Hannibal, Jr.

The third day brought Sinfas to the front. The Cy
Mulkey colt managed to beat R. E. Bybeb's Rain Drop,
Dennison'u PiiLces=' First, Green's J. M. It. and Scare's Car-
rie M , the time being 1:161 for three-fourths. In the
hotting race Susie S. had no difficulty in beating her
opponents, winning in straight heats, time beiDg 2:291, 2:29£
and 2;31J.

There was also a three-eighths of a mile and repeat race,
the entries for which were Sunday, Cyclone, Red Dick, Lit-
tle Dick and Ben L., Sunday winning the 1st and 3rd heats
while Cyclone took the 2nd. "The time was 36, 36| and 35£
seconds.

The last day's races showed up Guido as a winner in the
mile and repeat, Guido winning handily in 1:441 and 1:44.
In the first heat Tom Daly was second and Coloma third, but
in the final heat the positions were reversed, Coloma being
2nd and Daly 3rd.

In the 2.40 trotting race Mozier's Joe Kinney had no
difficulty in defeating the field, the best time made being
2:32}.

The free-of-all trotters was productive of a great surprise,
Lady Beach winning the Brst heat in 2:35, while Alta won
the 2nd in 2:321. Alta also won the 3rd heat in exactly the
same lime, but becoming lame was easily beaten in the next
three heats by Little Joe, who took the 4th, 5th and 6th
heats, his best time beiDg 2:32.

Breeding Trotters.

The majority of professional trainers, those which rank
among the best, have probably had but littlo experience in
breeding trotters. By far the greater portion of them have
given the subject but comparatively little thought. There
are exceptions, however, and among these is the well known
trainer Charles Marvin, who, it is safe to assert, has broken
a greater number of records with trotters that he has devel-
oped than any other trainer living or dead.

During the past twelve years Mr. Marvin has been located
at Palo Alto, the most successful trotting breeding establish-
ment in the world. This has given him a better opportunity
than any other trainer ever enjoyed to study from a practical
standpoint the science of breeding trotters. His views upon
the subject shonld prove both interesting and profitable to
youDg breeders. The following is an extract from Marvin's
recent work, "Training the Trotting Horse":

"On no other Bui'jeet connected with the trotting horse
has so much been written as on breeding, and on no other
do opinions so widely differ. I do not propose to theorize
on the subject, nor to treat it exhaustively, as my main
subject is how to train the trotter rather than ho*w to breed
him; but I may briefly throw together the concluBioDB that
have formed in my mind from extended observations with
trotters.

"First, I hold that there has been wide error, not, per-
haps, in giving too much attention to blood to the exclusion
of everything eke. Form and action, I believe, have been
tor generally negJected, and especially is this true of action.
Although it may seem paradoxical to say so, the gait I would
consider perfection in a campaigner would not exactly suit
r b for a stock horse. I would perfer for a sire a horse

ith abundant and exuberant action, both before and behind,
c e with perfectly true and square stroke, and without
3 mob of mixing.

"I do Dot object to a horse starting on an amble, but when
he trots let it be a trot. I do not care how a horse is bred,
nor how good he is individually, if his action is faulty he
would not suit me for a sire. A foul-gaiied horse will get
foal gailed progeny, and that kind can never hold their own
with evenly balanced trotters. Action is not the only thing
in a sire, but it is an essential for the absence of which
nothing can atone.

"I believe that the chief reason why Smuggler has not
been a greater succees than he is as a sire is because he
bai not the proper order of aetioo. I would exptct of
course the best results from Smuggler when bred to mares
with excessive action.

"The truest kind of action is what we may call line trot-
ting. The horse does not sprawl to get his hind feet out-
side of the front ones. The hind foot goes low, and the fore
foot is lifted just high enough to let the hind one go under,
not outside of the front one.

"I like a horse with a fairly wide chest, and the legs to
stand well apart, and fall straight to the ground (not "both
come out of one hole"' like a sawhorBe). and they should be
especially well muscled. The idea that a narrow cheBfe is
favorable for speed arose, I suppose, from the idea that a
horse's bind feet must necessarily go outside of his front
ones in trotting. It is certainly an error.

"I need not go into a lengthy discription of what the form
of an ideal stallion ought to be; you nil know it. He should
be of fair size, with a good, brainy, intelligent head, a strong,
sloping BhoulHer, a round barrel, with a Btrong, springy Ioid,
quarters of great power, muscled *vell inside and out, strong
gaskins and forearms, square set hocks and knees, short
cannons, strong pasterns of medium angle and good feet.

"Some will argue that loDg caDnons are just as good as
short ones; that a horse with a long cannon will stride just
as far as a short cannoned horse. That may be true, but I
hold that all the driving power is above the hock, and all
the muscles run from that paint upward, and the horse with
the longest thigh has the greatest driving power, and more
leverage to banflle the leg and foot.

•In the dam 1 want also good action, but I would not be
quite as exacting in her case as to have plenty of it, for,
right or wrong, it is my belief thattbesire generally controls .
the action. Sallie Benton's dam had very little action; Dime
Winnie, the dam of Palo Alto (2:12J), and Annette, the dam I
of Ansel (2:20), had not any to speak of, but they were mated
with Electioneer, a horse of superabundant action. I would
avoid a brood mare with faulty action, just as I would a sire.
Let what they have be square, true and good,

"I like a broDdmare ot moderate size. The dam of Man-
z*nita stood only 14.3; the dam of Bonita, 14.2. Beautiful
Bells and Dame Winnie are 15.2; May Queen fifteen hands.
I prefer mares of rather blocky build, and that they Bhould
have good heads, tempers and dispositions. I need not say
that soundness should be exacted in a broodmare, and of
course the more perfect the general form the better. The
idea that anything will do for a broodmare is a fallacy of
bygone days. It I were'breeding trotters I would have
good mareB or none.

"Id conclusion, I like the Bire and dam to be developed
trotters, and the faster they can go the better. If they are
natural trotters, and have in training shown great speed,
together with good form and balance, from mating them you
are almost sure to get a trotter. As for the trotting blood
you have, of course the richer the better. The best test of
trottiDg blood is how faBt and how much it has trotted, and
how many and how fast trotters it has produced. Any kind
of blood is better than unknown blood."

A Carious Craze in Horse-Breedinsr.

Even the most casual student of human nature must ad-
mit that he was not deserving of the epithet "cynic" who
first declared that men are like sheep — where one leads oth-
ers follow pell-mell. The moat soperficial observer of the
affairs of men knows this to be the most patent fact of hu-
man history. In a multitude of iormB it finds manifesta*
tion. It is not difficult to read a bit of evidence of the de-
cent of man from the ape in the actions of the imitative
monkey. In every line of human thought, in every field of
human action the vast majority of men are imitators, each
following a lead which appealB to his fancy, his ambition or
hiB cupidity. In politic:-, religion, society or business, men
tread in the footsteps of predecessors so closely that, like
the band of indians marching single file over the buow-cov-
ered prairie, each moccasined foot falling unerringly iuto the
track before it, they leave but a single trail behind.

These reflections are awakened by the fact that all agricul-
tural Iowa has turned its attention to trying to breed Axlells
and Allertons. Williams' wonderful luck has driven Iowa
well nigh daft, and nearly every duog-hill old mare in the
State has been stinted this season to a trotting-bred stallion
at stud fees exhorbitaDtly, ridiculously, appallingly high.
Especially is thiB craze manifested for 6talhone of Wilkes
blood — whence probably comes the phenomenal speed of the
two Iowa wonders— but the book of every stallion which
carries a drop of trotting blood, fashionable or unfashion-
able, in his veins has oeen crowded with maie3 at stud fees
heretofore Bcarcely dreamed of. The surpassing absurdity
of this craze — for it is worthy of no higher term — is seen in
the character of the mares thus bred from which it is fondly
hoped fortunes will be dropped in the Bhape of record-break-
ing foals. Snch singularly grotesque mismating has never
before been seen in the history of horse breeding od this
continent. Instead of seeking a stallion fitted in form and
character to mate with a given mare, her owner puts her to
the first standard-bred stallion he comes upon, be the two
nsver so incongruous in character. What the harvest will
be is not difficult to foretell. It is not the first time that
Bohemian oats have been bought by the farmer greedy for
undue gain. Seeds have many times been sown the cost of
which the crop did not realize. The Gazette suggests the
possibility that there will be more paid out in trotting stall-
ion fees this season in Iowa than the entire crop of colts
from the misfit unions now being made will bring when put
upon the market. There is food for thonght in this sug-
gestion.

The Gazette of all papers is the least apt to object to the
use of high-class, high-priced stallions when properly chosen
to mate with the mares to be bred. No journal has more
persistantly taught the necessity of patronizing first class
sires, even at increased service fees; but there are limits to
all IhiDgs — save Bpace and eternity. It now seems sb if we
should have to revise our philosophy to include among these
things without limits, the Iowa trottiDg-bred stallion service
fees. Surely the farmers of the "Hawkeye" State over-
looked the fact that Axtells and Allertons are the produce of
a half centary, The labor of parturition necessary to pro-
duce such phenomenon? seems to exhaust Dame Nature ss
to render her incapable for deeades of another such birth.
And yet the Mountain of agricultural Iowa is in costly labor;
when the mouBe is brought forth there will be many a
wiser — and sadder — Man.— Breeders* Gazette.

Gen. Fine has the Petaluma track in good condition, and
the many horses in training there are doing well. Lee Shaner
is beginning to "move up" a few of his good ones, although
as yet no extraordinary time has been made.

A Pointer With a Wooden Le^r.

There is a man now in the north of France who lives in an
out- of the- way village on the coast, and shoots for the
market, who has a most extraordinary pointer, one with a
wooden leg — says an exchange. This is the near hind leg,
which, it appears, was run over by a cart two or three years
ago, and had to bs amputated. The dog was then six years
old, and rather thau destroy his faithful and invaluable
companion the o<vner appealed to the local doctor, who
fitted a wooden leg to the stump.

At first the dog waoted to gnaw the wound, but event-
ually he recovered and now takes no notice of his un-
usual appendage. He goes at a trot with a very Blight
limp, so slight as to be hardly noticeable. The bot-
tom of the artificial leg is fitted with a round mushroom
head-shaped iron ferrule, rather broader than the wood, and
so far as work is concerned the dog, who is a Brayue, is in
no way impeded.

He is as firm as a rock on his pointa and retrieves marvel-
ously well.

The American Beagle Club.

Editor Breeder akd Sportsman: — The American Beagle
Clab desires, through your columns, to call attention to its
organization and the benefits to the breed arising from such
club.

The club has been in existence for some seven years, and
has done a great deal of good in perfecting the breed and
bringing order ont of chaos then existing when the club was
arranged. At bench shows at the time mentioned one judge
would award prizes to the large species, and another would
fancy the smaller ones, which created dissension by clashing
of opinions, and exhibitors were all at sea. After the Beagle
Club was formed, it centralized ideas in regard to merit and
demerit of the ideal dog, and filled a long felt want. It was
gotten up with the intention of including all Beagle breeders
and owners in the United States, And the club heartily ex-
tends an invitation to join to all such that reside on the Pa-
cific slope, and all readers of your valuable journal. Follow-
in are the standard and scale of points which will prove
gof interest to all who have any welfare in this favorite of
breeds.

STANDARD — HEAD.

The skull should be moderately domed at the occiput, with
the cranium broad and fall. The ears set on low, long and
fine in texture, the forward or front edge closely framing and
inturned to the cheek, rather broad and rounded at the tips,
with an almost entire absence of erectile power at their ori-
gin.

The eyes full and prominent, rather wide apart, soft and
lustrous, brown or hazel in color. The orbital processes
well developed. The expression gentle, Bubdued and plead-
ing.

The mnzxle of medium length, squarely cut, the stop well
defined. The jaws should be level. Lips either free from
or with moderate flews. Nostrils large, moist and open.

Defects. — A flat skull narrow across the top of the head,
absence of dome. Ears short, Bet on too high, or when the
dog is excited rising above the line of the skull at their points
of origin due to an excess of erectile power. EarB pointed at
the tip3, thick or boardy in substance! or carried ont from
cheek showing a space between. Eyes of a light or yellow
color. Muzzle long and snipey. Fig jaws or the reverse
known as under shot. Lips showing deep pendulous flews.

Disqualifications. — Byes close together, small, beady and
terrier-like.

NECK AND THROAT.

Neck rising free and light from the shoulders, strong in
substance, yet not loaded, of medium length. The throat
clean and free from folds of skin, a slight wrinkle below the
angle of the jaw, however, may be allowable.

Defects. — A thick, short, cioddy neck, carried on a line
with the top of the shoulder- Throat showing dewlap and
folds of skiu to a degree termed "throatiness."

SHODLDERS AND CHEST.

Shoulders somewhat declining, muscular, bat not loaded,
conveyiag the idea of freedom of action, with lightness, ac-
tivity and strength. Chest moderately broad and [nil.

Defects.— Upright shoulders and a disproportionately
wide chest.

BACK, LOIN AND RIBS.

Back Bhort, muscular and strong. Loin broad and slightly
arched, and the ribs well sprang, giving abundant lung
room.

Defects. —A long or swayed back, a flat, narrow loin, or
a fiat constricted rib.

F0RELEG6 AND FEET.

Forelegs straight with plenty of bone. Feet close, him,
and either round or harelike in form.

Defects.— Oat elbows. Knees knuckled over or forward
or bent backward. Feet open and spreading.

HIPS, THIGHS, HIND-LEGS AND FEET.

Hips strongly muscled, giving abundant propelliDg power.
Stifles strong and well let down. Hock* firm, symmetrical
and moderately bent. Feet close and firm.

Defects. — Cow hocks and open feet.

• TAIL.

The tail should be carried gaily, well up and with medium
curve, rather short as compared with sizs of the dog, and
clothed with a decided brush.

Defects. — A long tail, with a tea pot curve.

Disqualifications.— A thinly haired rattish tail, with en
tire absence of brush.

COAT.

Moderately coarse in texture, and of good length.
Disqualifications. ^A short, close and nappy coat.

HEIGHT.

The meaning of the term "Beagle." (a word of Celtic origin
and in old English begtle) is small, little. The dog -ft as so
named from his diminutive size. Your committee therefore
for the sake of consistency, and that the Beagle shall be in
fact what his name implies, strongly recommends that the
height line be sharply drawn at fifteen inches, and that all
dogs exceeding that height shall be disqualified as over
grown. anl oatside the pale of recognition.

COLOR.

All hound colors are admissable. Perhaps the most popu-
lar is black, white and tau. Next in color is the lemon and
white, then blue and lemon mottles, then follow the solid
colors, such as black and tan, tan. lemon, fawn, etc.

This arrangement is of course arbitrary, the question being
one governed entirely by fancy. The co'ors first named form
the most lively contrast and blend better in the pack, the
solid colors being sombre and monotonous to the eye.

It is not intended to give a point value to color in the
Bcale for judging, as before said all true hounds being cor-
rect. The foregoing remarks on the subject are therefore
simply suggestive.

GENERAL APPEARANCE.

A miniature fox hound, solid and big for his inches, with
the wear and tear look of the dog that can last in the chase
and follow his quarry to the death.

Note.— Dogs possessing such serioas faults as are enume-
rated under the heading of "Disqualifications" are under the
grave suspicion of being of impure blood.

TJudei the heading of "Defects" objsctionable features are
indicated; such departures from the standard not, however,
impugning the purity of ihe breeding.

Beagle breeders are aware of the fact that a S'andard and
Scale of Points are an absolute necessity, so that an author-
ized type of the Beagle Hound is made apparent for Bench
Show Jadges to base their decisions npon, as no two are sim-
ilar in opinion, as to quality and the breed marks of the race.
"With an accepted standard, a Judge has a guide to lead him
through the difficulties of his position, and the breeder if a
novice will be enabled with its assistance to discard those
animals that are deficient in quality, and recognize merit
where it exists, thus elevating the status of his kennel.

The present officers of the club are: President — Herman
F. Schellhass, No. 6 Brevoort Place, Brooklyn, N. Y ; Sec-
retary and Treasurer— Louis Smith, East Saginaw Mich.,
care of Evening News; Executive Commmtte— George Liick,
Tarrytown N. T ; "Wm. H. Child, 613 Commerce St. Philadel-
phia Pa.; J. M. Fronefield Jr., Wayne Pa.

It any readers of this article are desirous of joining the
American Beagle Club, they are respectfully invited to send
their names to the Secretary.

Sport at Goronado.

A party of fourteen riders was made up at Coronado on
June 12th for an afternoon with hounds and hareB. The
party was made up at , the hotel about 3 o'clock, and the
horsemen and horsewomen, uf whom there were half a doz-
en, were followed to the hunting ground by a number of the
hotel guests in carriages.

Of the 1,000 acres comprising North Island folly one-half
has been plowed this season, by the Beach Company and
planted to barley. The crop was off, and only the stubble
was left. It was over this stubble that most of the chasing
was made. The surrounding thickets were foond to be full
of rabbits, which the dogs uncovered and chased to the
clearing, aod then came the horsemen. The chase on several
occasions waB a long and txcitiug one, and the sport was
rarely enjoyed by all.

Ernie Babcock, Mr. Babcock's eldest son, was the success-
ful captor of the first rabbit. Miss Siebein securing the sec-
ond, and Miss Huntington the third. E. 3. Babcock was
himself among the foremost riders, but he can take lessons
from his bo' b in rabbit hunting, his younger Bon beiDg in for
the "brush" of two jjcks before his father had captured one.

Patterson Sprigg, J- Callen, W. O. Gassoway. Budd Story,
W. H. Doud, Mr. Simmons. Mr. Shaffer, Dr. Yeaman, Dr.
Morton, and a number of other Sao Diego ridera weie auioog
the party, and all were led by J. T. Fisher, of the Beach,
who was master of the hounds.

The honnds used were gaze-bonnds, and were secured
from the Valley Hant Clab of Pasadena. They have been
too well kept by somebody and were over fat for heavy work
in soft soil. The result was that they tired easily. Proper
training and freqaent hunts will remedy all that, however. •

The sport has been entered iDto with enthusaism by the
Beach people, and a club is to be organized for holding meets
once or twice a week during the summer. Mr. Babcock will
secure several more dogs, and there iB talk of diversifying

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— As requested 1 will
givayou a slight description of George Allender's new quar-
ters. n

It is about five miles from Watsonville and can be reached
from this city by the S.30 a. m. tram, having the train
stopped at \ ega, a flag station, 3 mi'es this side of Pajaro
aod a walk of a short mile laods one at the best location for
the purpose I ever saw. It 1b in a nice nook sheltered from
both North and East winds. He has leased about twenty
acres— part m orchard-, about two acres of lake— some in
vegetables and the rest pasturage.

On the left as you enter is the yard where he can turn a
hatch (four) of dogs to play about until he cleans oat their
I may Bay stalls, because they are more like stalls than ken-
nels. Then they are returned to their k-nnels and another
batch are tamed oat. After the yard comes a nest of four
stalls or kennels the arrangement of which I like very nincb
Tbey are airy bnt still warm. They stand about a foot or 15
inches above the gronnd. The floor has a plope of 2 inches
from the rear towards the door. The oed is made at the
rear by simply putting a Ioobo piece of board across which is
removed when it is required to wash out the kennele. A
little distance from this .comes another batch, then 20 yards
further along is an ontbuilding where he has his caldron for
cooking, and on the wall are hooks forcollarsand chains, etc
all in apple pie order. Another portion of this building is
used as a Btore room. Then directly across the drive stands
his cottage. Further alone are more nests of kennels— ODly
four io each nest and sufficiently far apart to prevent dogs in
one nest contracting any contagious disease from dogs in the
next nest. Another good thiog is the security of the dogs
never being either drowned or barned no— misfortunes
which Georg6 has nad to pass through. Had he been at this
pots last January I sbouldnever Lave suffered the lossofthe
tinestbitch I ever owmd.He has sown a patch nearthehousa
with rye grass for the dogs to eat— another good thing. I
may say I never saw his dogs looking better. There are
lots of quail »11 aroond even in his orchard.

Dog owners may place their dogs in Allen -ler's bands with
perfect confidence of (heir being safe and well cared for.

ing buyers should examine them.

Blue Rock Club-

Secretary Charles F. Stone very kindly sent the scares of
the last meeting in time for our last issue but they were
accidentally obscured, and are now presented with an apolo-
gy to the efficient executive officer and the members.

The Club met at Oakland Trotting Park on Jane 7th, ten
members being present. The day was warm and the breeze
materially helped the targets.

The shooting is done under American Association rules.
The scores were, at 15 siDgles and 5 pairs of Blue Kock Tar-

Selby Live Bird Medal Contest.

The second match for the live-bird medal oii'ered by the
Selby Smelting and Lead Company was t-hot off at Oakland
Trotting Park on Sunday last. The birds were good, and
the day propitious, bat only a handf ol of spectators attended,
and just four entries were made. The Bhooting was not
very good, many birdB dying out of bonnds. The medal was
first won by Mr. C. B. Smith, and now passes into the hands
of Mr. C. J.Haas. The scores were:

Pacific Sportsmen's Club.

The June meeting of the club was held at the Gerber
grounds in the suburbs of Sacrcmento on Sunday last.
The birds were strong flyers, and the freBh breeze carried
them away from the traps in a manner to severely teBt the
shooters' abilities. Tbe gold medal was won by Frank Euh-
staller with a score of 11 out of 12

After the medal shoot several pool matches were shot, in

A New Club.

A Sportsman's club was organized last week in Yreka,
Mendooino Co., by about twenty of the lovers of hunt-
ing and fishing. 1 he object of the clab is to procure
game birds and fish that are foreign to the county and that
would be the means of famishing sport to all who are fond
of hunting and fishing, also to Bee that the game laws of the
State and county are strictly enforced. It has been a well
known fact for years past that parties are in the habit of kill-
ing deer and antelope out of Beason, and particularly in the
winter season, when they are killed for their pelts, and their
carcasses left to rot. If this is allowed to continue, it will be
only a few years before it would be almost impossible to find
any game at all in our mountains, where in early days, it was
no unusual sight to see deer and antelope in bunds of hun-
dreds, while now very seldom more than three or four can
be seen at once. The introdacaon of a lot of fine fish for
food will also receive their attention, and they have been
promised 70,000 Eistern trout and Lake Tahoe trout to be-
gin with. The<se could not be obtained before the State
Commissioners were assured that the fish would be prevented
from leaving the main streams and entering tbe irrigation
ditches, which would be guarded against by the UBe of
screens, probably placed at the head of all irrigating ditches.
After some time and trouble, the Board of Supervisors passed
a eoreen law with this objeot in view, and it is now the firm
determination of the members of tbe club to Bee that the
law is strictly enforced. It does not work any hardship on
any one to obey the law, and it will be wise for all who have
ditcheB of any size, to place screens at their heads and save
themselves trouble aDd expense. This movement on the
part of the sportBmen is certainly a good one, and it Jb hoped
that all will do what they can to make it a Buocess. The
regular officers of the year have been elected, their by-laws
and constitution adopted, and they are now ready for bus-
iness or pleasure. Dariog the year they will hold both rifle
and shotgun shooting tournaments, to be participated in by
memoers of the club, and at the annual meeting of the State
Sportsman's Association, tbe club will have its representa
tives selected from those who have the beat scores for the
ye° '. They will hold monthly meetings, or oftener as bus-
in. is may require.

In another portion of the paper Mr. E. T. Allen, sole
a-^ent for the Pacific Coast, whose store is at 416 Market St.,
oity advertises the original and only genuine Canadian
I Hunting Boots of the original high quality but at reduced
prices. The original Canadian Hunting Boots were intro-
duced by Mr. AUen nearly four years ago. They are made
of oil tanned material. Tbe leg is made of select alum
tanned calf skin with bellows tongue, to lace. Tbe hottom
and uppers are in one piece like a moccasin. The boots and
shoes are hand-aewed, neat, light and most comfortable; a
man's boots weighing bnt 2£ lbs. per pair, ladies' but H lbs.
per pair. The shoes weigh but 2 lbs. per pair. They are
very highly recommended by the sportsmen and campers
who nave used them, and are most popular where they are
best known. Mr. Allen has in stock many hundredB of
pairs of new and improved styles, and those who wish a
light, easy and practically indestruc ible boot or shoe of the
sort will find their profit in examining the Canadian. At
this season of the year when all the world goes abroad, a
well-shaped shoe is a sine qua non, and those who use the
Canadian will rind that after a summering in the mountains
where protracted pedestrian exercise is taken, their feet are
in perfect condition. For children especially tbe shoes are
most admirahle since they can be laced around the ankle,
affording firm Bupport while the youngsters are climbing
about under unusual conditions and more than commonly
exposed to sprains or wrenches of the extremities.

J. H. Philip, E B. Batchelder and C. J. McDonald are
building a house-boat at Hayward's landing near San Mateo
foi use this fall when hunting on the marshes. It is a scow
eight feet wide, upon which a small house, 12xS feet, is
built with a four foot platform at each end. Irjside are two
double bunks affording sleeping accommodations for four men
besides a stove and a table. The purpose of the boat is to
furnish a rendezvous for the owners after a day's sport. It
will be towed about the marsh by means of row boats. Sim-
ilar boats are in use upon the Sacramento river aDd are
known as "arks" The cost is about $60.

The ^ther day Lum Mulkey, Geo. Grubb, Bobby Res
and Albert Amonsen visited AgeDcy creek near Salem City,
Or , for the purpose of capturing a wild horse that bad been
running there for some time. They were all well mounted
and equipped f<»r the trip, and as they were riding carelessly
along they came upon a young grizzly, who ran from tbem
at the first glimpse. They gave chase and soon overhauled
and lassoed him, and after dragging him for some distance
got him into the creek, where he was finally captnred and
placed in a ^ack and conveyed to George Yearian's ranch,
where be was put into a small enclosure for safe keeping.
He would fight anybody or anything that went into the pen.
The boyB intend to keep and train him.

In response to our request for information about the suit,
ability of Humboldt County as a habitat for wild turkeys, the
Humboldt Times BayB:

"We can inform onr contemporary that we are somewhat
familiar with the habitB and habitat of tbe wild turkey, or at
least, were in the days of our blissful childhood, and sIbo
claim some acquaintance with Humboldt county. We can
therefore venture the opinion that the prospects for its "suc-
cessful introduction here are good. It is not probible that
the turkey wonld multiply so rapidly here as in Michigan or
some of the wooded districts of the East, because there are bo
many enemies in tbe animal kingdom that would Bet about
its extermination. But it would flourish in a fair degree,
and the country abounds in food adapted to the needs of the
wild turkey. A wild turkey that doesn't grow enthcBiaslic
and become enthused with gratitude when placed among
Humboldt acorns, grasshoppers, wild berries and cow peas,
is certainly devoid of the true American spirit.

There may be some danger that the turkey would die
from sheer gluttony if placed in the miast of Humboldt
abundance, but of that our readers in the hill regions can
better judge. Will some of them write us their opinion of
the real ohances of the wild turkey to run the gauntlet of
coyoteB, coons, wild-oats and poor marksmen in the oak for-
estB of the back country?

Virtuous Indignation.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— There are several per-
sons in this city who violate the fish laws to such an extent
that some action must be taken now or it will be too late to
accomplish any good. For the last three or four years, shad
have been coming up Napa Eiver, sometimes called Napa
Creek, to Bpawn in large numbers. The flih up here in-
cluding Bhad, pike, carp, trout and striped bass have suffered
oisastrously this season. There are four or five men who go
netting daily with a large net which reaches from one side
of the creek to the other, and as I said they have been net-
ting almost daily since about the first of May. Although
they claim to go out for shad they also get the other variet-
ies of fiBh I have mentioned. There is strong talk against
them, but nothing is being done to stop tbem or to punish
them severely as they ought to be punished since they are com-
mon every-day vagrants and oatch anywhere from fifty to
three-hundred fishes daily.many of them being fish which are
now spawning. One would probably be surprised to learn
what they do with so many fish, and it is said with regret
that they find a market for about all they can catch, even
when they have no permission to catch or net them or any
license to sell them. Hoping this rascally work may reach
tbe ears of the Fish Commissioners and that the Breeder
and Sportsman may denounce them in strong terms.

Silkworm Gut.

In a private letter one of the chief English gut importers
tells me there is likely to be a "corner" on this indispensable
material this next season. The new crop has jnBt been gath-
ered in Spain (Murcia), and is one of tbe smallest on record,
" certainly the smallest since the dire cholera year,
1885, when one-third the popnlation of the gut-produoing
districts either died or were mortally sick with the oholera
scourge. It is said to be not equal to one-fourth of the crop
of '88 or one-third of that of '89. Two months or thereabouts
will elapse before any of it will reach the Amerioan market,
aud it is fortunate in one sense that salmon fishing will then
be virtually over, for there is Dot more than about 20,000
strands in all of the best salmon gut. This means that next
season the best salmon gnt will be at least three times dearer
than it was in 1889, and I presume I need not tell my read-
ers that the pick of this gnt will be retained over the water,
notwithstanding tbe picturesque references of some of our
home tackle-makers to "our gut factory in Spain." This an-

xiety and uncertainty about the "gut" crop Bhould speedily
have an end. Where is American enterprise? Why cannot'
it be made in this country? California has an ideal climate
for it, and some of those thousands of "unspeakable" heath-
en Chinese could be pressed iuto congenial service in tending
the worms and drawing tbe gut. Why not? — The Week's
Sport.

[The suggestion as to establishing gut factories in Califor-
nia is one whioh was considered several years ago, at which
•ime an exhaustive discussion of the methods of raiaiDg the
worms and manufacturing the gut waB presented in these
columns. Oor contemporary is quite right in believing that
the climate of this State is suitable both for the growing of
the mulberry aDd the worms. The tree flourishes wherever
planted, and the experiments of (he State Society for the fos_
tering of the silk iudustry have proven that the worms grow
to a large size, develope large silk sac?, and produce a fine,
strong, lively gut when properly handled. There is a for-
tune in the scheme.]

To Fishermen.

Editor Bredeer and Sportsman: — In accordance with tbe
provisions of tbe act of Congress for taking the Eleventh aDd
subsequent censuses, it is purposed to secure staiiBtics con-
cerning fish and fisheries. Mr. Charles W. Smiley has been
appointed a special agent to take charge of this work. The
special agent thus appointed haB all tbe authority of a census
enumerator under tbe act of March 1, 18S9, and is empow-
ered to ecnduct in his own name correspondence relative to
this snbject.

Obtaining stat:stics concerning the fishing that is carried
on by people who devote only a small portion of their time
thereto, and upon the various inland rivers and lakeB of the
country, is very difficult; but the subject is altogether too
important to be entirely neglected. This office cannot,
however, undertake to include fishing which is merely for
sport or recreation, aDd which yields but small returns, nor
yet those rare and occasional days of fishing which men in-
dulge in to get a few pounds for immediate home consump-
tion. It dues, however, desire to obtain certain statistics
concerning every one who, as an actual part of hie daily toil,
resorts to fishiup as the best means of obtaining food or
money. There are cases where farmeis leave their farming,
and, with horse and wogoo, go to fishing places in order to
obtain whole loads of fish, which they carry home and salt
for use throughout the year. Such fishiDg should be in-
cluded in our ibquiry. Less than seven days per year
devottd to fishing, and a total catch of lesB than 140 or 150
pounds, is hardly worth considering in the present ioquiry.

The objects of fisbiog which are comprehended in this in-
quiry include not only fish used for food, but for all other
purposes, such as makiDg oil, fertilizers, etc , as well as
clams, oysters, turtles, terrapins, etc.

If there is any part of this circular to which vou feel in-
clined to return a reply, jour kind attention will be greatly
appreciated. If you would regard it as any return for your
courtesy to have copies of the Fishery Bulletins sent to you
when issued, your name will be placed upon the list.

Pish Commissioners Criticized.

There are always men who are willing to carp at those in
publio office and to dtery the endeavors of all, as to whose
motives and actual labors they know nothing, and the mem-
bers of the State Board of FiBh Commissioners do not fail to
receive their share of the adverse criticism. Nor are the
gentlemen of the California Board the only ones who have to
meet quibblers, as is evidenced by the following notes from
an exchange. Tho Albany Journal contained the following
letter:

"The fish commissioners seem to have overlooked the
highest interests of our citizens in the line of wholesome
food and recreation at the same time; for they succeed in
etockiDg our waters only too 6lowly, both for the lack of
public spirit in raising tbe necessary money to pay the ex-
pressage. If our State were divided up into seven districts
and a fish commissioner appointed for each and a hatching
house was at his service, he might restock all the waters in
his district once in three or five years, and so allourstreaniB
would abound with fish adapted to the location. The Leg-
islature should provide for replenishing the fish in oar
streams, which in many sections are well nigh extinot."

The Journal comments upon it, saying: "Of what advan-
tage is the wholesale Btocking of the streams of New York if
it only benefits the market fisher, tbe poacher and tbe trout
hog? It would appear as if tbe authorities were doing all
they could to stock our streams and the people not doing a
single thiDg to protect them."

Our exchange adds, aDd its observations should be weighed
by many of our own readers:

It is much easier to find fault with the acts of the New
York Fish Commissioners than it is to improve upon their
methods of conducting the Commission. The letter nnoted
above is a fair sample of tbe kicks at the Commissioners made
by well-meaning people who really are not well informed
about tbe Bubject of the kick. There is yet a vast army of
fishermen who have an idea that in order to stock or restock
a water it only requires that a large quantity of young fish
Bhall be turned into it aDd the obiect is accomplished.

In the first place it should be understood that the New
York Fish Commissioners give a lot of valuable time to the
State, and to those who are benefited by their acts, without
any return, except the consciousness of well doing, the ap-
proval of the majority of fishermen, and the kicks of the mi-
nority, for they serve the people without pay in dollars and
cents. As fish rearing and fish planting is their business —
a business to which they devote moch thought, and to wbich
they briDg the best talent obtainable— it can be imagined that
they know more about it, and the methods of conducting it
to obtain the best results, than those who do not make it
their business, aDd have but an imperfect knowledge of it.

The letter writer thinks the Commissioners lack system,
and public spirit in raising money to pay express charges on
the fish sent out- As to the first charge, we will say that tbe
Commissioners are progressive men, constantly seeking to
improve the service of the Commission, aud if tbe letter
writer will suggest to them an improvement upon their pres-
ent excellent system — the outgrowth of twenty years' expert*
ence — we guarantee they will adopt the improvement; for
that is what they all labor for. As to the second charge, is it
not rather too moch to ask of a business man to give his ser-
vices to the people, and then ask him to pass his bat around
that the people maybe further benefited? Now, "honest
Injun," could any sane man expect them to do it?

JDANITO JR. is a beautiful brlfftat bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 3886. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patcben
at tbe same age. Instead of being a pacer, be Is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
speed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
blm. The owner's only reason for selliDg bim in
that business calls him away from this section of
tbe State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This Is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter at a very low figure.

They have said, over and ■ over, that the fish hatched by
the State should be distributed by the State free. They have
asked the State that famishes money to hatch the tish to
famish, also, the money to plant them, olaiming juBtly that
the State had not finished its work until the 6sh were planted.
The State has not seen fit to furnish the money to plant the
fish, and, very properly, the Commissioners decline to pass
their hats. They hatch millions of fiBh, doing the work as
cheaply as possible that the State may get a good return for
its money, and say to the fishermen: "We would send out
these fish free to you to be planted in suitable waters, but we
regret that the State ha9 not famished us with the means to
do it; we know that the State should do so, but until it does
we mast ssk yoa to pay the bare transportation expenses."

| It was for the purpose of furnishing free transportation for
fish fry that the Commissioners adked for a fish oar last win-
ter.

If there were seven Commissioners, one of them "might
restock all the watprs in his district once in three or five
years, and so all our streams would abound with tish adapted
to the location."

Then the millennium and ascension robes! What a simple
affair it is to Btock all the streams once in three to five years
— on paper!

And the only place that we know of that it can be done is
on paper. To Btock a Btream properly itehoqld be planted
annually for a number of years, and food must be provided
for the tiBh, if it is lacking, and then the remark of the Al
bany Journal comes in very properly; for if the fish are not

protected during infancy and, later, during the spawning
seasons, the mere planting of the tish fry is money and labor
wonted.

Fish protection is a matter of edacatiou and if it was In
our power to influence the Fish Commissioners, we would
say to them: In communities opposed to tis.b protection let
this education go on while the sin iiius are rarren; send out
not a single fish to a district where the tish laws are openly
and persistently violated— where the sentiment of ibe people
is opposed to protection. The Legii-lature and the Fl«b
Commissioners may do tbeir utmost to stock streams with
tish, and their efforts will be utterly futile unless there Is a
determined effort on tbe part of the people to do their share
of the work and protect the ri»h at times and seasonB when
they retjuire protection to thrive and multiply.

and feeds Hay in connection with the green feed, which a horse
must have if he is to thrive. Every animal is given

A Dry, Warm Place to Sleep,

No matter how stormy the weather. All Stock under cover when it rains.
VISITORS WELCOME ANY DAT EXCEPT SUNDAY.

How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of Sin Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak
land- The stabl-s are about one mile east of the county road, which runB between Oak'and and San Lean-
dro. The place to turn oil is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed. Unide hoards
will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather tbe roads aie very good, aud they are lairly good
after the unusually heavy rainfall of tbe past winter.

All stock sent from an Francisco may be brought over by G'ircia's Express, No. 3 Market street, Pan
Francisco. They alBO have an order bos outside of Uawlev Bros.* Hardware bouse on the corner of Market
and Beale streets. The express leaves san Francisco on the Creek route boat, wiiich starts at 1:3', butall
orderB should be in the order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. S Market
street, bv 11 o'clock at the latest In the case of very young or very valuable horses, the Souther Farm will
send reliable men to lead or drive over any stock that will not lead bebind a wagon. A small cuarge will be
made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred.

Horses are very easily taken irom Oakland to the farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to
bring them or send thfm, the larmwiil send after anything that is to come. On horses that stay three
months or oyer there is no charge for getting or Qelivenng. Where a horse stays a short time the actual
time and expense onlv is charged to him.

Horsf-s can be shipped l>y rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify the
Farm several days before shipping anvthirg, and then men will be on hand to receive sto^k on arrival 'The
railroad Btation is but two miles from the Souther Farm, and the a went invariablv gives immediate notice
of the arrival of any stock consigned to the abo'e farm, bot when word is sent to the farm in good season
by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple or honrs in the c;ir.

P ssenger tTiins leave S*n Francisco (from the broad gaug- ferry) and First and Broadway. Oakland,
at rrequent intervals during the day. 1 here are several trains from San Jose to San Leandro on both the
broad and narrow gauge railroads; the br^ad gauue, by way of Niles, ia much more convenient f jr get bag to
the tarm. There are trains each day from Sacramento, Stockton and Li\ermore to San Leandro. In ordi-
nary weither it is a short and pleas -tnt drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San Francisco to
tbe Farm by way of the Creek route f»rry boat. Always notify the Souther Farm just when you will arrive
at San Lpandro, and some one will meet jou at the station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance aek
the stage driver, who will point it out.

thoroughbreds. Under these dieadvaniages be sired
a long list of winners. His sire Newminster, won
the St.JLedger 1851, and his dam. Jovial by Bay Mid-
dleton, winner of the Derby 1836. NewminiBter by
Touchstone, winner St. Ledger 18-U. Dam Beeswing,

tax, winner of the Doncaster Cup. 1837—40-41 — 42,

Hls grandam. Fashion was tbe greatest race
mare of her day and beat Boston in tbat historical
match at four mile heats, which is recorded as one of
tbe greateBt events in tbe annals of the turf.

Three Cheers to he the finest type of the Newmin-
ster line in America.

Foaled 1876. Black. Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of highest form and quality; of great excellence in every point; a type of bis celebrated fam-
ily; of marked individuality, spirit and endurance; never properly trained or meed, but shows the pos-
session of great speed; perfectly manageable In the Blable and on tbe road and track.

As be is sired by The Moor 870, a son of OLAY PILOT, out of Vanhli by MAMBRINO PATCH EN", he is a
most valuable cross for mares of other families. THE MOOR slr^d Beautiful Bells and the dams of Sable
Wilkes and Margaret2:28 fdam of Regal Wilkea, 2-year-old record -2:20i).

MAMBRINO PATCHEN is regarded as tbe unsurpassed aire of broodmares, having, among many
others, sired the dam of Giiy Wilkes and of Wm. L (the sire of Axtell). and a son of his sired the dam of
Axtell. The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of Tbe Moor and
Mambrino Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with the Uambletonlana it may be called
"the ready money cross." ■

Training
The Trotting Horse

BY CHARLES MARVIN.

This great practical horse book Is a handsome,
three hundred page ortavo, bound in cloth, ele-
gantly printed. Biiperbly illustrated, and explains
in every detail the remarkable success of
CHARLES MARVIN and the whole plans and me-
thods pursued at Palo Alio as to breaking, training,
shoeing, gaitiae, drivUg, keeping, racing and
breeding Irotters.

Read what J. C. Sibley, the owner of St. Bel, sayB
of this book: "In this work Marvin has let out all
the mysteries of the craft, and it is so simple and
plain that any breeder, owner, trainer or rubber
who has any relish for his business can take a colt
as a yearling and develop to the highest and fullest
extent lhat colt's capacity as a trotter. The work
Impressed me bo strongly that I have ordered twenty
copies, and shall place one in the hands of every
rubber on our farm." Mailed postpaid for $3.60.

Our Fresno Letter.

Editor Breeder and SP0RTSMAN:--The late spell of in-
tense warm weather has bad its effect upon man and beast
alike. Fresno, you are aware, is among the southern tier of
valley counties in which the temperature reveals during the
summer months that it means business strictly, and still
gives the mercury a fair degree of rest, resting between 70
degrees and 90 degrees as good average, although dropping
occasionally to 50 degrees, but asserting itself by mounting
jo 100 degrees. Within the psst three weeks the thermome-
ter has rarely shown lower than 65 degrees, aiii two or three
days last week; Ihe tine reckoning was at midday 102 de-
crees, and at no hour of the entire day lower than 75 degrees.
Still, on account of the natural salubrity of this remarkably
healthful section, there lias been no actual discomfort and
not a single case of illness from oveiheating. The soil is so
light and active and the atmosphere so clear and elastic, thaj
the malarial iifhiences which prevail in sections of adobe
soil and heavy damps, with frequent fogs and earthy vapors,
are quite unkuown in Fresno.

The residents of the valley regulate their labors and wbjb
of life agreeably to the changes of weather, and hence in the
heated term oE the summer months they neither fatigue
themselves nor forget their domestic animals in the lines of
every day business and necessary toil. The cautious old
dame of Missouri who demurred in early years to emigrate to
California because she had learned enongh of the Pacific
Coast to cause her to believe that it was a "mighty easy
country for men and dog^, but awful hard on women and
horBes," would be converted to the better conviction in Fres-
no, and come here to paEB the remainder of her days in com-
parative ease and the comforts which promote happy longe-
vity, while her sons and daughters could do better than in
Missouri in the refining influences of dulce et decorum.

As a matter of course you do not expect muoh to be said
of horees and turf affairs in this warm Bpell. Still things go
on with good promise for the fall meeting at the Fresno Fair
grounds in late September and early October; also in the
lines of high breeding and the bettering of graded stock. Be-
sides thejlarge and tine breeding farm of Mr. Siraube in this
county, there is no other fully entitled to be classed in that
category, yet increased attention is devoted to stock improve-
ment in the county and throughout this magnificent domain
of San Joaqnin valley, in some of the expansive grain fields
of which Rhode Island and Delaware could be rolled up and
hidden beyond the quest of the detectives of the Govern-
ment to find out in which of the Valley counties the two
missies States were concealed.

Out at the Fair grounds are between forty and fifty horses
in training and keeping for the .Tall races. The lists are al-
ready filled to insure excellent sport — pacing, trotting and
running. The horses are worked very little this warm
weather, and all are in good condition, in fine form, to be-
gin the work when the time comes. Manager Frank Bald-
win, the veteran turfman and Fair Superintendent, has
everything well arranged, with the determination that the
ensuing Fair shall excel in the display of agricultural pro-
ducts and objects of interest of articles which delight the
wives and daughters of farmers, of the fanciers of art and
adornment which please city dames and belles of society,
and of the beauties of Flora's culture, radiant and of delicious
perfume, in which all find pleasure and attraction. Land-
scape gardening, like that at Del Monte, is among the boau-
tifjing additions to the capacious grounds, and during the
Fair within the handsome Pavilion and about the walks will
be the charm of music, the melody of choirs, and the tran-
sports of the dance, heighteced in effect by the brilliant il-
lumination of myriad incandescent electric lights. Of the
sports of the track better opportunity will occur for the defi-
nite recital.

Fresno is all the time growing and advancing. Rome was
not built in a day, and during centuries continued to decline.
As Silas Wagg had it, to the Golden Dustman, it was the
decline and fall of the Rooshan Empire. Silas was a little off
in his knowledge of history, and had for his display of ignor-
ance the simple, honest Baffin. Fresno is attracting the
notice of the entire land, and of Europe besides, with her
wealth of soil and luxuriance of products — the choicest of
scriptural chronicles and most favored of the luscious fruits
of warm and genial climes — as we read of the repose of the
patriarchal household in the refreshing shade of the vine and
fig tree; and fancy the children of the Holy Land feasting on
milk and honey in the tamed region of Goshen. The dwel-
lers of Fresno may read the Sacred-Book in the midst of his
family and friends, and for practical illustration of the integ-
rity of the text, had them all into his own grounds of boun-
teous supply, to rest and regale after the manner of the
patriarchal gatherings.

Nor does the guest, though a wayfarer, have occasion to go
without the gratifying comforts and delicious treats of appe-
tite in Fresno, in case he may not visit the teeming vine-
yards of grapes for wine, for the table or for raisins, or has
not the opportunity to pluck the iipe figs or the luscious
oranges from the laden tree. Fresno has clear right to
become famous for her hotels. In a previous letter, mention
of the Hughes Hotel was made. It would be invidious to
neglect or omit mention of the Grand Central Hotel of Fresno,
of which Mr. Fulton G. Berry is owner and landlord. The
term host, in its complete sense, is fitly applicable. A pio-
neer, of ripe prime years, of large public spirit and great
enterprise, conversant with the vicissitudes of life in Cali-
fornia, and of the mettle which lifts men superior to depres-
sing circumstances, he has made his permanent home in
Fresno; here pressed on from adversity to fortune, and,
assured in the possessing substantial we 1th, he directs his
energies to plans and means that Bhall further advance the
place aud establish Fresno as the chief city of the valley of
the San Joaqnin. The Grand Central is maintained in actu-
ally first-class style, not as the classification is in some
instances perverted, to the fatigued traveler, the guest accus-
tomed to the comforts of a cosy home and the good things in
the way of living, and to the epicure, the uppermost desire
and most satisfying realization centre in the entertainment at
the table, and in the after contemplation of the delights of
rest and refreshing sleep. At Berry's Grand Central, these
comforts and luxuries are aBBured and enjoyed, with the
pleasing accessories of excellent attendance at table, courte-
ous treatment in every department of the hotel, and the clos-
ing reckoning which better invites the departing guest to
come again, than honeyed phrase and excessive politeness
can induce.

Fishing and hunting are sports yet to be better cultivated
in Fresno. A Sportsman's Club will in time be organized.
Fine trout fishing is found in King's river, and over in the
San Joaqnin I am told of salmon trout, which are probably
voung salmon. Quail and grouse are in the mountains, and
deer are plenty. There are good sportsmen in Fresco and
about, but the thing needed is organization. The Pacific
Coast Field Club has membership here, and for the trial
Derby to come off at Bakerstield, for which entries closed
Jane 1st, two fine dogs owned in Fresno will contest : El Rey,
setter, Goodstone — Enid, one-year-old; and Elite, litter
brother to El Rey, owned by Senator Goucher. El Rey is
owned by Frank B. Dexter, chief clerk of the Grand Central
Hotel. He is a genuine sportsman and clever gentleman,
foremost in promoting the pports of f,he field and gun, and of
the rod and stream, an expert on the wing, skilled in angling,
genial in the qualities of companionship, sturdy in the ele-
ments of manhood. As in Pinafore, the song g^es by the
crew in tribute to Sir Joseph Porter, with all his addenda of
titles, it is made very much to his credit that he is an En-

glishman, similarly it can be underwritten to the oredit of
Mr. Dexter, that he is a zealous friend and an observant
patron of the Breeder and Sportsman'. He files away the
numbers <%b be finishes the perusal.

Manager Frank Baldwin is absent on a visit to Coronado
Beach, where he is preparing the track for racing Fourth of
July. He will return in a day or two and from him no doubt
I can obtain information which will make another letter in-
teresting reading.

Fresno has an excellent Fire Department. Opportunity to
note the skill and courage of the firemen has occurred, and I
can conscientiously commend them. They should be better
equipped with engines and with hose and apparatus. The
fire in the Expositor building two weeks ago was notable
demonstration of efficiency of the department. They re-
served from apparent certain destruction the large handsome
brick building and the more valuable tine printing office of
the Evening Expositor, owned by Mr. J. W. Ferguson, the
pioneer newspaper man of this section and an estimable lead-
ing citizen. Ferguson and his assistants and printers dis_
played their grit and quality of getting out an extra edition
— full size, eight pages — with good acconnt of the fire during
the morning. Fire can't destroy this order of newspaper,
They will develop the Phcenis quality. J. O. M.

Fresno, June 9th.

Our Lakeport Letter.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman-.— Since writing my iast
the track and grounds of the Lakeport Park Association have
been undergoing a thorough renovation at the hands of Mr.
J. H. Walter, the new proprietor, an energetic, wide-awake,
progressive gentleman, who in a very short time has made a
place of which Lake County should be proud. A fine drive
has been thrown up connecting with the county road, and
winds picturesquely along the creek, shaded by broad caks
and graceful willows. A large social hall is in course of con-
struction, club rooms have been put in, a base-ball and
cricket-field has been laid off, a steam pump has been pur-
chased for watering purposes, and lastly the track is gettiog
in good shape, and will, before Walter gets through with it,
compare favorably with any track in the State. HorseB from
the outside will find this track and climate just about right,
and can ship by railroad to Hopland thence 10 miles over a
good road to Lakeport.

There are now at tne traok 13 trotters and 6 bang tails.
The trotters are in the hands of Tracy, Corcoran and Piuer,
Tracy has two stars, viz., Alwood and a two-year-old Mani-
brino Wilkes tilly. Alwood is showing in great shape, far
ahead of expectations, while the filly — well, we have to keep
quiet, but when a two-year-old with three weeks driving can
beat three minutes far and away we can say safely she is an
ordinarily good road animal.

Corcorans string has received an addition from Fred Shafer
of Brentwood— a five-year b. s. by Bashaw, which is a very
Bmooth goer and an unusually handsome animal. Lady
Armington owned by Superior Judge Hudson, by Anteeo, dam
by Abbotsford, is gaining speed slowly and surely, has a
powerful, strong gait, and is a worthy representative of her
blood lines.

C. S. Finer has in charge Geo. Washington (or Anti-C )
by Anteeo, out of Countess, and (our other good ones, 6ome
of which will make a good showing before long. Washing-
ton has had to be carried along carefully, but as soon as his
stud season ends will be given a chance to exert himself.

Among the bang tails P.E.Smith has three, the best of
wbioh, and about the best in the State, is Lulu B. The
other runners are in various hands, and lively times are ex-
pected on the 27tb, when the opening races occur.

By the way, speaking of horses and horsemen, there is a
good one going the rounds on "Doc" Aby. His
noticed, on his last visit here, that he was not his a

being especially sensitive on the subject of trott6rs and
Chinamen. This weakness was freely commented on, bnt
seemed inexplicable nntil this rumor got out, when every-
thing was made clear. It seems the Doctor was bowling
along at a lively rate behind his spanking bayB, cheerily hum-
ming "Little Annie Rooney," when he observed a cloud of
dust ascending the heavens. The afternoon being warm and
the genial Aby being likewise, peculiarly susceptible to both
heat and dust, he clacked to his team, swayed them gently
over to one side and was about to pass. But he knew not
what he did, neither did he wot. That is, not till later. The
personage was none less than One Lung, our Chinese garde-
ner, and the way his old carcass of a horse c^n trot is a cau-
tion. After One Lung slowed up a little, Abe sung out to
him, "Hi! yi! yon sabe! Too niuebee dusty. Gibbee you
onedolla, lettee me go by!" Whereupon the thrifty Lung
accepted, and Aby came in town tired, covered with dust and
dirt, and his voice husky with emotion, but the name of Aby
will be long remembered by the various country urchins who
watched the race, as the one man who could conte3t with
One Lung and BtilJ be victorious. X.

How Salvator Won the Suburban.

When the news came across the wires that Salvator had
won the now classic Suburban, Califoroians were particularly
well pleased, aud around the racing headquarters the great
race was the only thing talked about. So that our readers
may learn bow the race was lost and won the following excel-
lent report is taken from the Herald;

"Polo Jim," Starter Caldwell's dusky right bower, gives
the horses their position, and down the quarter stretch they
walk in Indian 61e. Salvator is in commaud at the head of
the column and steps quietly along like a perfect gentleman.
"Thai's where he'll finish. Hell be in front all the time!"
cries one enthusiast admirer of the Haggin colt, and thous-
ands feel their hearts beat in echo of the sentiment.

Strideway, with Taylor ridiog, is nest in the line and re-
ceives some admiration, but the general feeling is that he
won't do — that he has no business in such Titanic company.
Even his owners have not backed him and thoroughly ap-
preciate the slimness of Lis chances.

Firenzi, the peerless mire of '89. is close at Strideaway's
heels and obtains some applause from those that fail not to
remember her triumphs of past years. Kay rides her and is
tbe cause of considerable specalatiou, as few racegoers aie
aware of his ability as a jockey.

Montague, Longstreet and Cassius follow in the order
named, and then comes Tenny. His thousands of backers are
cheerful now that they can see him, and well they may be,
for the horse they have chosen is in the pink of condition,
full of life and fiery spirit and impatient to go out and run.
As of yore he wears the hood and blinkers, but who dares to
call ihem the badge of a rogue?

RiceKnd aud Prince Royal bring up the rear, and after all
havd passed before the stand a bell clangs, the line is broken
and off they gallop, singly and in pairs, up the stretch to the
starting post, where Starter Caldwell is in readiness to take
them in hand.

As they paraded, so they line up across tha track, with
Salvator having the best position by the inner rail and Prince
Royal last at the outer edee of the track.

This is a crucial moment, and the spectators anxiously
await the falling of the little red flag firmly grasped in the
starter's hand.

Bat there is a delay. Longstreet is fractions, Raceland
is nervous and Salvator the most restless of all. All of them
feel their oats aud they give no end of trouble.

They break away, with Raceland, Longstreet and Mon-
tague leading, and quick as a wink Air. Caldwell scaoB the
track to see if a!l are in motion. Prince Royal is too far
behind to have a chance, and it is no start. Back they come,
and after a deal of kicking aud cavorting they break away
again.

"They're off!" yells a man in ihe grand stand, and he is
promptly denominated a falsifier, for the flag has not fallen.

One more trial and this time they're off in earnest.

Who's leading?

Casfeius!

Yes, there he goes, like an arrow speeding from the bow,
ready, willing and determined to assume the responsibility
and brave the daDgers of making the pace in the great race.
Strideaway is Becond at the fall of the flag, and after him
corns Longstreet, Prince Royal, Tenny, Salvator, Firenzi and
Kaceland in the order named. Montague is in his proper
position— last of all the lot. Last he is and last he will be
if he can't show more speed than he is exhibiting at present,
for the others are running away from him at every stride.

Like u orested wave they move along the initial furlong
past the lawn and to the judges' stand. It's a killing pace
from the start and more than one will surely fall by the way-
side, leg weary and heart broken. Taral has no waiting or-
ders aud gives Cassias loose rein till he has command by the
pole. Then he steadies his horse and setB out at an even
gait on the long journey before him.

I. It's make or break wilh the Dwyers, too, for Bergen push-
es Longstreet into second place, close at the heels of the fly-
ing Caossias, while Strideaway falls back to third position at
the bead of the plunging cluster of horses that threaten mo-
mentarily to run clear over him, so furious are their move-
ments.

Prince Royal is at Strideaway's outer fUnk, while on the
inside are tbe California team, Salvator aud Firenzi, both
tugging wildly against their riders' restraining pull. Gar-
rison, strong armed, resists Tenny's impetuous efforts, and
kaeps PulBifer's pride well back in the rear, where Kaceland
keeps him company.

Montagae maintains his humble rearward position, and
Mr. Galway's smile evaporateB.

Cassius has only a length the best of it as they pass
the jodgeB' stand, and Taral is not satisfied with this
advantage. He is bound to make a runaway race of it if he
can and repeat the trick performed by Castaway II. in the
Brooklyn Handicap. So, pissing the paddock, he loosenB
rein once more, and in a twinkling there is daylight between
Cassius and Longstreet, his nearest opponent.

"Ob, dear! look at Cassius! Tenny will never, never catch
him." I hear a vision of lemale lov.Iiness and lace cry out,
close behind me in the grand Btand. Nor are her fears
groundless, if she has risked her little wager on the son of
Rayon d'Or, for Cassias is opening a palpably big gap in
front, while Tenny is laying further and farther back in the
rear.

Now they swing around the paddock turn, having trav-
ersed exactly a quarter of a mile. There's a mile stilJ before

him, but if CasBius can keep up that soul stirring gait they
won't be long in covering it. He's two lengtbs in the lead
and »oing as easilyas if he were outfor exercise. Longstreet
retains second position, and like Cassius has done something
in the way of running away from the others, for he's a
length and a half away in front of Strideawav.

They're stringing out, for the pace is already having effect
Salvator's nose grazes Strideaway's tail, and Firenzi is a
length behind her stable companion. Prince Royal is in
difficulty, even at this early stage of the gome, for Aoderson
finds no little difficulty in keeping up with the others. But
the Belmoot hopes are not centred on tbe Prince, and as
Raceland is close at his side the supporters of the "maroon
and scarlet" as yet feel no fear.

But what's the matter with Tenny? He's next to last.
Come, Ganison, this will never do. Don't wait too long.
The * Snapper" Beems to appreciate this fact, for as Cassius
shows the way into the backstretch Tenny begins to move
op with his adversaries. There's time yet for him to make
up all the lost ground, but his backers would like it better
if he was nearer the front:

Faster, faster and faster still, like a flying demon. Cassius
continues to increase the pace, and there's a gap of three
lengths between him and Longstreet now. The farther he
goes the greater his advantage, and Isaac Murphy, back in
the ruck with Salvator, recognizes that he cannot afford to
stay where he is. Isaao is a good judge of pace, and he
knows what he is about when he lets out a link of his pull
on the great colt's head.

The effect ia instantaneous, for the moment they are
all well straightened out on the backstretch, CassiuB' lead
commences to decrease. Not that he ib going a bit slower,
for he's not. Those behind him are going faster, all im-
pelled by Salvator's movement. Strideaway moves up to
Longstreet aud he gains visibly on Cassins. Salvator has
taken fourth place at Strideaway's side and Firenzi is not
far away. Raceland and Tenny have began to hurry and
both are within striking distance of those before them.
Prince Royal is no longer a candidate for Suburban honors,
and Montague is more out of the race than ever before.
"Longstreet's hurt! What can be the matter?"
Something is, indeed, wrong. The Dwyer's colt is falling
back faster than the others are going on.

They are jnst starting around the long turn for home, and
the son of Ljngfellow iB still second, the position he has gal-
lantly maintained from the Btart. But he'B in trouble. See
Bergen's whip rise and fall, and almost before we can appre-
ciate Longstreet has fallen back behind Strideaway, Salvator,
Raceland and Tenny. That ends the "dark horse." He'B a
back number, and in a furlong more will surely be dispating
with Montague for last place.

It's a gallant race and in deadly earnest now. Cassius con-
tinues to monopolize the foremost position, but the giants
are overhauling him at every stride. Will they catch him?
That's what "Johnny" Campbell, his astate owner, asks him-
self. Strideeway's race is about run, and he is flying signals
of deep distress a3 Salvator cnallenges him in the chase after
the fleet footed pacemaker. It's an easy task for the Haggin
colt to dispose of Strideaway, and Murphy now looks for-
ward to gathering in the scalp of the single one in front of
him. Garrison, too, watchful of Murphy, is coming along at
a tremendous gait with Tenny, and black visaged Hamilton
has Raceland close behind him.

They're the only ones left in the race. The rest are already
beaten.

Into the homestretch, with only a quarter of a mile to go,
Salvator is at Cassius' saddle skirts, and Tenny, passing
Strideaway, takes third place, two lengths behind the leaders.
Now for a finish. Look out for that stupendous spurt of
Tenny's at the end. Garrison calls on his horse, but Tenny
is unmindful of whip or spnr, or else unable to respond. He
spurts not, neither does he gain an inch. It's all up with
him, and "Dave" Pointer's half a hundred thousand dollars
is already lost. Raceland is no better off, aDd Hamilton
gives up riding him, disgusted and dispairing.

But the leaders, what are they doing? It's a magnificent
contest between Salvator and Cassius for the supermacy. A
forlong from the b'nish Salvator's nose is on even terms with
Cassius, but there he seems to hang. Never a gamer horse
than Cassius has ever been seen. True, he is carrying twenty
pounds less than the California giant, but it is no mean task
to keep up such a tremendous pace. Gamely he does it, too,
Taral using his whip aud spurs meanwhile with desperate
and crael vigor.
Ride, Murphy, ride, if you want to win.
It's a critical moment, and Murphy thus far his refrained
from punishing the kingly Salvator. But Cassius is still on
even terms with him, and extreme measures are plainly nec-
essary. Up flashes Murphy's whip and again and again it
falls, raising great welts on the magnificent colt's quivering
flanks. Nor is this punishing in vain. Ffty yards from the
goal Salvator puts his head in front, and then slowly increas-
ing his advantage to a neck, dashes past the judges, winner
of the Suburban of 1890.

Cassius takes second honors by three lengths from the dis-
appointing Tenny, who pulls up as tired a horse as ever
looked throngh a bridle. Strideaway is fourth, and then
Raceland, Firenzi, Prince Royal and Montague, who at the
end resigns last place to the fatigued and forlorn Longstreet.
The timer hangs out 2:06 4 5 and a yell greets the per-
formance, for it is the fastest Saburban ever run, and only a
fraction of a second behind the record, 2:06§, made by King-
ston, five yearB old, and carrying 122 lbs. Salvator's per-
formance is much the better as he is only four years old and
carried 127 lbs. The track was good, but not lightning fast,
and turfmen who stood around the stand when the time was
displayed said it was the greatest performance on reoord.

Of course Murphy was seized by the maddening crowd as
soon as he had weighed out, and being placed inside tbe
monstrous floral horseshoe, was carried to the jockeys' dress-
ing quarters, where he was congratulated by all his fellow
knights of the pigskin.

Salvator is a handsome chestnut colt, four years old by
imported Prince Charlie, dam Salina, and was purchased as
a yearling in Kentucky for $4,500. In his two-year-old form
be s'arted six times. His maiden effort was the Junior
Champion Stakes, when he finished fourth to Proctor Knott.
In the Futurity he was beaten half a lengih by Proctor
Knott after a punishing finish Salvator's first win was the
Flatbush Stakes, at Sheepshead, and he followed it up by
winning the Maple Stakes at Gravesend and tho Tuckahoe
and Titan Stakes at Jerome Park. The colt's winnings that
year amounted to $17,000.

Last year Salvator started eight times and won seven
races, his total winnings amounting to $71,000. His victo-
ries included the Tidal and Realization Stases at Coney Is-
land in the summer, the Lorillard Stakes and Jersey Handi-
cap at Monmouth, the Septem' er Stakes at Sheep3head in
the fall, and a sweepstakes and purse at Jerome Park.

Including yesterday's Suburban, Salvator has won $95,000
in stakes and purses.

Cheating the Books.

The Third street pool room people are very sore, and til
because, in tbe vernacular of their more regular customer?,
they have been worked. And the feature of the affair that
is most disagreeable to them is that they don't know just
exactly how it was done. They are sure, however, that they
are out on the little game they went against just $1,700, and
that is mateiial proof enough.

The fraud has been going on to the certain knowledge of
the pool room proprietors for two days, but the sad discov-
ery was not made until yesterday afternoon, jast before the
last race at Latonia — The Harold Stake — was run. The tele-
graph operators in the various pool rooms had each received
the message that the horses were at the post when a medium
sized, neatly dressed young man of about 26 years of age,
wearing a black moustache and closely cropped sideburns,
stepped up to Bookmaker Satterwhite, in the turf pool room,
and, pulling out a roll of bills, said:

"One hundred dollars on Georgetown."
"I'll take fifty," replied Satterwhite.
'•Make it fifty each way," remarked the young man.
"All right." was the reply, and in exchange for $100 the
bookmaker handed over a ticket calHoe for $450 straight
and $200 place if the horse won, Georgetown being at odds
of 8 to 1 and 3 to 1, first and second respectively. The
bookmaker than changed the odds to 3 to 1, and even only
to get, almost immediately, another bet of $25 each way
from a smaller and lighter complexioned man of abont the
same age. who, it was afterwards learned, hal been seen in
company with the larger man and heavier bettor. As Boon
as the Turf had nibbled the pluoger went next door to the
Newmarket pool room, and though Mike Flyon, the principal
bookmaker had robbed out his odds, and was in the cashier's
office with his money, the stranger approached one of tbe
books where only small bets are received, and said he wanted
to bet $100 on Georgetown. The bookmaker called Mr.
Waddill, and the latter repeated the matter to his business
associate, the famous Joe Burt.

"Take it," said Joe, aud at odds of $600 to $100 the bet
was made. "Money easy won" may have been Burt's men-
tal comment, while Waddill probably thought "another
sucker."

The bet had hardly been recorded, however, before it was
learned by an employe of Mr. Waddill that the same man
had won $90 under similar circumstances on Eth>l, in the
last race of the previous day, from his house, and $300 from
the Turf Exchange. This at once aroused the suspicions of
Mr. Waddill, but like Daniel when the king caught him, "it
was too late — the laagh was on him."

"Off!" Bhouted Joe Burt, and then a few minutes later,
"Georgetown first passed the post." The young man stood
around until tbe official result, and then collected his money.
Mr. Waddill. Mr. Burte aud the other employes of the
house also stood around. They were puzzled and mad.
They felt that they had been defrauded, but they were not
certain, and besides could not have done anything about it
if they were, though it is said that after the man walked
coolly out, with a cigar between his lips and the boodle in
his pocket, that Mr. Waddill wanted very much to go out
and "catch him."

The money won in the turf was collected first. The young
man had tried to bet in the Suburban, but they would not
take it, as they adhere strictly to the rule not to take a big
bet after the horses are at the post. He did not tackle the
Climax, Johnny Payne having had too much experience in
this line.

That the two men worked together there was no doubt, and
the coincidence that both are unknown, and have only made
two bets on the last race, under the same unusual circum-
stances, satisfies the poolroomers that they had obtained the
result before the bet was made. How, they cannot guesB.
Manager Smith, of the Western TJnioD, said that he could
offer no theory. The tapping of wires was the only way he
could suggest, and that he hardly thought feasible.

But no matter jast how thefraud was pricticel, the public
doesn't oare; it is glad some one got ahead of the races. Tbe
pool rooms hereafter will take no more bets after the horses
have faced the starter.

The men got two $10 bets at S to 1 on with the small
books in the Turf, thus running their total haul for the two
days up to $1,700. The Newmarket lost $690, the Turf;
$1,010. — Louisville Commercial.

In regard to horse breeding in France, at present there are

THE FARM.

Batter at the New Zealand Exhibition.

The Auckland Weekly News of the 2Sth of April says: The
special representative of the Sydney Mail makes the follow*
ing remarks upon a Chinaman receiring the grand prize for
butter at the Dunedin Exhibition: — This colony of New
Zealand prides itself, among other things, upon its ability to
turn out really first-class dairy produce. It fciB justified in
entertaining the feeling. On the other hand, if it did not
turn out thoroughly good cheese and butter, it would have
ample reason for entertaining a feeling the very reverse of
pride. This is a land of moist air and frequent rains, of
succulent and practically perennial grass. New Zealand,
with, its 6ne farmiog population of old country yeomen from
both sides of Tweed, would have to experience another sen-
sation than that of pride if it did not turn out good dairy
produce. Yet good farming old country folk and their off
spring, though New Zealand does posBeBs, they have had to
acknowledge themselves beaten at their own work, on their
own ground, by an unconsidered stranger from anialienland.

At the New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition there was
an exhibition dairy produce show, open to all the colony.
Tons of cheese and tons of butter were sent in. Men who
had made butter in Devonshire valleys, and others who had
done so in the mountains in Ayrshire, were amongst the
competitors. The great exhibit — the great butter competi-
tion— was for the best half a ton of butter, suitable for ex
port. No one supposed otherwise than that the first award
would go to some one who hailed from the British Isles. It
did not bo go, however. Amongst the half-ton exhibits
there came one from a Mr. Chew Chong, of Taranaki, in the
Mount Egmont region of the North Island, 500 mileB distant
up country, and the pluck, enterprise, and good work of
this son of the Flowery Land were rewarded by his obtain-
ing the first prize. I think I cin see Borne of my old friends
of the Illawarra, the Shoolhaven, the Ulladulla, and the
Eden districts opening their eyes at this, and shaking their
heads, as did their fellow-countrymen on this Bide. There
is no nationally inherited gift in doing work, and one good
result of this defeat will be that the New Zealand farmers
will apply themselves with renewed watchfulness and care to
every part of their work, to win back the premier position
which has been wrested from thsm. As Mr. Chew Chong's
position, as the best buttermaker in New Zialand, is some-
what unique, possibly a brief account of his career and
reference to his dairy may prove of interest. Born in the
oity of Canton, he'.received a good education, inclading a
knowledge of the EogliBh language. From there he went to
Singapore, and served eight years in a merchant's office,
then emigrated to Victoria, where, in Castlemaine, he was
Btore keeping for 11 years. From there to Otago, N. Z., in
1867, again trading; and in 1870 he went north to the then
new district of Taranaki, still as a storekeeper Here, think-
ing the butter he bought of the farmers should be better
than it was, he started a butter factory with such success
that he has now 120 milch cows, besides buying large quan-
tities of milk of the surrounding farmers. Mr. Chew Chong
ships large quantities of butter to Melbourne and London,
packing it in box* s of his owu invention. I add the follow-
ing extract from the report of Mr. E. M'Callum, Govern-
ment Iuspsctor, on Mr. Chew Chong's Jubilee Farm. He
says: — "This is one of the best butter factories 1 have visit-
ed. The machinery is good and in first-rate condition, and
everything abont is thoroughly clean. The machinery is
driven by a »ai i- wheel. There are two Danish cream sepa-
rators, each capable of putting through 150 gallons of milk
per hour, one large box churn, and a level butter worker.
The water-wheel is inside of the lower part of the building.
The butter, when churned, is taken to a space between the
wheel and the oatside wall to be made np. When the wheel
is in motion it causes a current of cold air in the place,
throwing at the same time a spray of cold water in the air,
which assists to co j1 it in hot weather, a method invaluable
for buttermaking. The building of a tunnel to bring the
water to the wheel and plant cost over £700." Mr. Chew
Chong is a naturalized British subject, has married a Eur-
pean lady, and has a large family of sons and daughters.

A correspondent on May 10th writes to the News as fol-
lows:— In your lust issue of the Weekly News, you repro-
duce an extract from the Sydney News which has been going
tbe round of the papers, anent the New Zealand Exhibition
award for butter going to Mr. Chew Chong's factory. The
Bubject pffords exclamations of wonder, etc., at the expense
of New Zealand dairy people who are of British descent. To
think that Chinamen should beat them at dairying! All this
makes a readable paragraph, and is probably a sufficient
represen'ation of fact for newspiper purposes. The truth,
however, 13 that, apart from supplying the needful capital
aad Bhowing judgment, as well as having good fortune in
selecting a good dairyman, for whioh he doubtless merits
oommendation, Mr. Chew Chong has no more claim to be a
competent dairyman than I have to be considered a compe-
tent bank manager, because I may hapxaen to hold an inter-
est in a successfully managed bank. The Eltham Factory is
a small one, and probably has less output than tbe smallest
of our lneal ones. Its design and arrangement was the work
of an English-born dairyman, Mr. Sydney Morris, and the
entire management of it, from beginning to end, has been in
Mr. Morris' hands. The reputation of thiB gentleman as a
successful buttermaker was established long prior to the
advent in dairy circles of Mr. Chong. Mr. Chong rarely
visits his factory, and knows nothing of its manufacturing
workings, excepting, which is enough for him, that these are
in good hande. I do not know what may be the position of
matters in the future. Possibly a time may come when a
Chinaman may excel even the best of our butter makers,
although, considering the wonderful interest whichhas been
taken in dairying during the last few years, I do not fear tbe
competition. Yet in dairying matters up to the preseot, and
as far as New Zealand is concerned, it is hardlj fair to assume,
as the paragraphiot has done, that "the Caucasian is wiped
out."

The immense building which has been in course of con-
struction as an addition to Armour & Co.'s immense estab-
lishment at Packiogtowa, was formally opened last week
It is an immense structure and will be used as a beef killing
house. It has thirty-two beds and is the largest beef bouse
the firm has, the part known formerly as the new beef bouse
containing only twenty-four beds. Alderman Johnny Ken-
ney, who baB been foreman of tbe old beef house baa been
placed in charge of the new establishment and will have 500
men under him. The house has a capacity of killing 2,000
head nf cattle per diem, bnt for the present abont 1,500 will
be killed. It is fitted up with the latest appliances, and is a
model bouse in every respect. This house was built to kill
cattle for the export trade, into which line of business the
house is now embarking— Chicago Drover's Journal.

Dairying in Sweden.

While in Sweden last year (wiites Mr. F. K. Moreland to
the American Agriculturist) I had occasion to pay some at-
tention to the moBt recent practice and methods in the dairy-
ing of that country. There are two points in which the
people of Sweden are not behind the foremost nations of the
world, and these are inventions and dairying The people of
Sweden seem to have a natural talent for making inventions,
and some of the most important of those, applied to dairy
science.have come to ub from almost within the Arctic Circle.
These comprise the entire range of utensils and machinery
used in the different branches of dairying, and of late years
leading dairy teachers have carried their studies Btill further.
It is the objective point with the Swedish dairymen, as with
the American, to increase his income. Whether this increase
comeB from a higher price received in the market or from a
cheaper manufacture, from a larger dairy product or a more
profitable ubo of the refuse of the dairy, it is equally wel-
come.

A Swedish dairy instructor, Mr. Kheustrom, has success-
fully dealt with tbe question of profitably disposing of all re-
fuse material. In fact, under his method there ceases to be
such a thing as refuse in the dairy. Wheyto be run into the
gutter, or skim-milk to be fed at little profit to calves or pigs,
are, in Sweden, things of the past. In the most modern
method of Swedish dairying, Bkim-milk, sweet and sour, and
whey become valuable raw material, which, properly handled,
adds much to the income of the dairymen. The process is
as follows: Skim-milk is handled as in tbe manufacture
of "skim-cheese," except more rennet is used and the precipi-
tation is made at a higher temperature in order to be more
complete. This product is pressed, dried and ground, and
in this form, containing as it does a very large percentage of
protein, is used with milk-Btuff in making oompound feed-
ing-cakes for horses, cattle, dogs, etc. The whey remaining
after tbe curds have been removed, as above described, or in
usual cheesemaking, is mixed with an equ&l quantity of
skim-milk and evaporated. When the evaporation is com-
plete the product is dried in cakes, out in small oubes, roasted
and ground, ready for use.

It is hardly the province of a laymen to give the chemical
valaes or elements of the prudacts of the two processes de-
scribed. It is more satisfactory to state that the product of
Bkim-milk finds a more legitimate and profitable use than if
the milk were fed to swine and calves, or turned into "skim-
cheese, " and offered on a market where there is not nor never
will be a demand for it. The process of evaporation makes
useful absolutely all tbe solids of the skim-milk and whey.
There is nothing wasted, while the point may be urged that
the digestive functions of pigs and calves utilize all the nour-
ishment of skim-milk and whey in its natural form, yet the
fact remains that the several products of the processes de-
scribed are available for more profitable uses. The skim-
milk product may be stored up on the farm in tbe form of
feeding-cakes for future use, or shipped at slight expense to
any available market.

The product of the evaporation process has a dozen profi
table uses. Mixed with coffee or cocoa, it is used with satis-
faction by the best Swedish families. It is also used as a
body for soups and sauces. The manufacturers of these goods
in Sweden pays for the dry pressed curds and the evaporated
product a price equivalent to about six cents per gallon for
skim milk. When it is understood that as a food for calves
and pigs it can hardly be worth more than two cents per gal-
lon, and that the cost of producing the pressed curds or
evaporated cakes is at most but trifling, the importance of
this innovation will readily be understood. It is quite proba-
ble that this new method of disposing of skim-milk will soon
beoome an important factor in American dairy economy.

English Breeds of Sheep.

W. F M. V. asks the Rural New Yorker:— "Would a pure
brod Hampshire Down ram make a good cross on pure bred
South Down ewes ? What is the difference between the Hamp
shire, Oxford, and Shropshire Bheep? Which is the largest
of the three? Would the Lincoln sheep be a good breed to
raise for wool and mutton? Are sheep of this breed the larg-
est?"

The Hampshire is a larger sheep than the South Down
and the cross contemplated would increase tbe size of the
cross bred sheep. As a rule, cross breeds, the progeny of
two different pure breeds, gain in size over either of the
parents — (see figures below). The difference between the
breeds mentioned consists in several points; they are all
cross breeds and English in their origin, and all have South
Down blood in them. The Hampshire originated 80 or 90
years- ago, in a cross between a large white faced horned sheep
of the county of Hampshire and the pure South Down. By
selection and some crossing with the Cotswold this breed has
been brought up to a largo size and made to produce a valu-
long wooled fleece. The Oxfordshire sheep is a cross be-
tween the Hampshire and the Cotswold made sixty years
ago. It is a large sheep and has a fleece finer than the Cots-
wolds, and coarser than the Hampshires. Its fleece is not
so black as that of the Hampshires. The Shropshire is of
rather mixed progeny. It came from a cross of the Cotswold
on tbe Morfe-Common sheep, a black-faced, hornt'd bind,
small, bnt very hardy. This cross was further mixed with
Leicester blood and finally with South Down. The breed is
about 100 years old. It is smaller than the other two, but
larger than the South Down, and has a longer, somewhat
coarser fleece, bat of the same class of wcol — "medium cloth -
ing." The relative sizes may be seen by comparing the fol-
lowing weights of the prize fat wethers and lambs under a
year old at the EDglish shows of tbe past fall months. The
common average weights of the sheep mentioned are about
two-thirds of those of the fat wethers given below:

Breeds Sheep Lambs

Leicester 254 165

Cotswold 277 174

Liucolns 321 191

South Downs , 217 163

Hampshire 269 198

Shropshire 241 148

Oxfordshire 293 183

Cross-breeds 288 213

The Lincoln is the largest of all sheeD and its fleece is the
longest. Fat wethers of this breed have reaohed a weight of
over 400 pounds and the wool a length of 16 inches. The
Hampshire, aB the weight of the lambs will Bhow, is remark-
able for its rapid early growth and the size of the larnbB.
For the production of early lambs its qniok growth and
black face give it an advantage over all other breeds. The
Lincoln breed has been imported to n hid all extent, but it
has proved quite unsuitable lo the American climate and
conditions of feeding. It is rapidly retrograding in England
and giviog way to the Oxfords and Sbropshires. If not
loaded with fat it is nothing but '-a bag of bones,1' and the

taste for excessively fat mutton is disappearing even in Eng-
land; consequently this breed would not be a good one for
any American farmer for any purpose. The Shropshire is
hardy, yields the best mutton and a very good fleece of ex-
cellent wool, rears its lambs well and is not particular about
the climate or locality. In these respects its surpasses all
the others named except the South Down, and it aurnasBes
this in its size and the weight of its fleece.

White Rose-Combed Bantams.

It has been said on no less authorily than that of Darwin,
that white fowls are more delicate than their dark-hued
brethren, but the experience of later years has Fhown that
some of our hardier breeds are white, notably the White Leg-
horn. There can be no question as to the beauty of the
white fowl. In thiB country, wher* we h*ve bo much pas-
ture land, and where the well kept lawn and park is to be
found everywhere, their green makes a splendid background
for the white plumage of fowls. Hence while white fowls
will never become as popular as dark, probably there is no
country where so many are kept.

The Bantam family embraces many lovely varieties, and
the two known as tbe Kose-combed are perhaps about the
most perfect in shape and contour Their sprightly carriage,
neat beads, and flowing tails are so well balanced that the
eye bas perfection before it in a good specimen. The black
variety has airtady been dealt with, and now we turn to the
white, which in most respects is an exact fac simile, the dif-
ference being chiefly in tbe plumage. Instead of being a
metallic black, showing very dark green reflections, the vari-
ety under review is of a satiny white, pure and clear, but
with that sheen which satin bears. The head is small, and
surmounted with a neat rose comb, upon which much Btress
is laid, for a badly shaped comb will Bpoil the appearance of
any bird however perfect it may be in other respects. Upon
the top the comb Bhould be covered with what are known as
points, and the more even these are in height and shape the
better. Behind, the comb runs to a point, known as a spike,
and it should be of a bright red and well fitted on to the
head. The wattles are small, and with the face should also
be of a bright red, the beak being white. In this country the
ear lobe is white also, but it would be better if red as in the
American Standard, for tbe red lobe on tbe white plumage
must" be very striking and pleasing. While in the face should
not be tolerated under any circumstances, and white ear
lobes always have a tendency in that direction. The legs and
feet are white, and the entire appearance of the bird is
sprightly and active. Of course size is an important consid-
eration, and some of the best birds bred in this country have
not weighed more than 12 or 13 oz. In these miniature spec-
imens every point is brought out at its best, for in Bantams
it is undoubtedly true that "good stuff goes into little bun-
dles," whereas those larger are very apt to get coarBe. We
must not omit to mention that the wings should drop some-
what, not enough to touch the ground, but below tbe line of
tbe body, and the tail meat be very full and the sickles large.

The following is the standard of perfection adopted by the
English Poultry Club:

Cock — Comb rose, broad in front and tapering into a loDg
spike at the back, pointing slightly upwards, full of separa-
tions, flat on top and firmly Bet on head; head short, lively
and smart; beak short and small; eye full; face finooth; ear
lobe flat and nearly circular; wattles thin and well rounded;
neck moderately long and arched, hackle very long and full,
coming well over the shoulders; breast full and round; back
moderate in length, looking short owing to length of hackle;
wings large, neatly tucked up; tail carried upright, but not
Bquirrel faBhion; sickles and coverts broad, plentiful and
sweeping; thighs slender, short and neat; legs, small boned,
taper and medium length; toes slender and well spread; gen-
eral shape and carriage lively, graceful and strutting.

Hen— Comb as in cock, but not too large; head, beak, face,
eye, wattles, breast, back, wings and thighs &b in cock; ear
lobe smooth and round, not wrinkled, fitting close to face;
tail ample and broad in feather, carried at a medium heigh*;
legs short and taper.

Color — Cock and hen — Comb, face and wattles rich bright
red; ear lobe pure white; eye bright red; beak white; plum-
age pure white; legs white. Stephen Be ale

Notes.

In the first four months of this year, the United Kingdom
imported 124,976 beef cattle, of which 100,010 came from the
United States, agaiost 64,743 from this country in the same
part of 1889 and 42,585 in 188S.

Australian live stock returns: Horses, numbers returned
on Jauuarv 1 1890, 430,777; on January 1 1899. 411, 36S; in-
crease, 19,409. Cattle, 1890, 1,741592; 1889, 1.622,907; in-

President Thayer, of the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company of Chicago, says that the sale of the business to
the City of London Contract oompany, is practically assured;
negotiations have beon in progress since last February.

During the first five months of 1890 Chicago received over
5,190,000 head of all kinds of live Btoofc, divided as follows;
Cattle, 1,321,521; calves, 38,492; hogs, 2,911,296; sheep, 875,-
003; horses, 46,100 Compared with receipts for the corres-
ponding period last year these figures exhibit an increase of
217,000 cattle, 584,000 hogs, and 201,000 sheep.

The present Stock Yards bank at Kansas City will go into
liquidation on July 1. A new bank, with a capital stock of
$1,000,000, will occapy the field, to be Imown as the Inter-
State National bank. " The capital is to be loaned in the in-
terest of the live stock trade of Kansas, Missouri and
Nebraska. The management will have a special care to foster
and build up the live stock interests of these states.

The bonds between the Texas Dressed Beef and Packing
company and the Metropolitan Trading association of Lon-
don, were signed and deposited today. This closes one of
tbe largest and most important contracts ever executed in
Texas. To a representative of the Texas afternoon press,
CharleB Goodnight said: "Suppose tbe big four do come in
here and buy up all the cattle and advance prices so as to
defeat the carrying out of this contract, we will then have ac-
complished more than we hoped to do by the fulfillment of
tbe contract. To advance the cattle market to a point where
the contract would not be profitable would meao $25,000,000
in the pockets of tbe stock raisers of Texas. That is iu^t
what we want, and it will enable lib to divide ban
with our English friends, who helped make a m
Texas meat."

Guido has proved a very handy horse since Col. H. I.
Thornton sold him as a yearling for $95 After winning
three laces at Portland, W. H. Babb is said^to have refused
$3500 for him.

The favorite stallion for getting horses, suitable for the
army in India, is the Norfolk trotter. The Horse Breeding
Department is strongly in favor of them, and all-round they
are in great favor.

The weather at Westchester was all through the meeting
exasperatingly hot, and the crowds at times so large that
many would-be bettors did not care to face the crowd in front
of the betting stands.

"How much will the yearling, if there ever is one, by Salva-
tor out of the peerless Firenz9 bring?" asked a prominent
turfman last Wednesday afternoon. $50,000 was the answer
of our sporting editor.

To see George Barrett in breeches and gaiters, riding a
bicycle through Newmarket, looking as scared as a stray cat
in a strange garret, is one of the sights of the Turf Metrop-
olas, says a London (Eag.) exchange.

Salvator should, according to the late Admiral Rous who
is even yet the authority on racing, at least seven pounds
batter than Tenny, for there is no doubt at all it is a great
disadvantage to mike your own running.

Secretary Wheatly informs me that the horse Ballston,
who was ruled off in 1889, has been reinstated to all the
privileges ot the turf by the action of the majority of the
Board of Stewards of the Saratoga Association.

Guido won $910 for his owner at the Portland meeting.
J. Dowd's Sunday won $520; T. H. Tongue's trotterB pulled
down $800, and the rest of the $5600 was split up in small
sums of which the veteran Dan Dennison only obtained $110.

Greenville (Plumas Co.) Park Association have leased for

Ed. McGinnis on "Wednesday, and Al Farrow on Tuesday
did not add much to the renown of California. E3,(by Grin-
stead) was beaten by Bonita, (a cast off of E. J. Baldwin's) by
Grinstead out of Maggie Enerson dam of Lucky B., one and
one half miles.

The English Derby day was the wettest and dreariest siDce
Macaroni won in 1863. Nevertheless it was patronized by
the Prince aDd Princess of Wales, their two married daughters,
the Dakes of Cambridge and Clarence and Prince Christian,
with Lords innumerable.

Uncle Bob will no doubt be the happiest man in America,
as his namesake by his favorite Luke Blackburn readily ac-
counted for the Chicago Derby last Saturday on a worse
track than even when Volante won with that good mud horBe
Favor second, the rest nowhere.

Secretary Kock has made a great success at Westchester,
and is now admitted to be the peer of any of the racing
secretaries. It is strange that a man with no previous ex-
perience should within a year gain such a reputation, and
must have been the result of many a day's hard work.

The Bupreme test of a brood mare is that when bred to any
horse, she produces natural trotters, which in turn beget
trotters. If in addition to this she happens to be deeply bred
in potent and fashionable trottiog lines, then indeed is she a
paarl of great price, and her value is beyond computation.

Matt Allen, Senator Hearst's trainer, says that he is play-
ing in the toughest bind of luck. His horses appear fit to
run for a man's life, but something always haDpens to cause
their defeat. Then his imported Japanese cock was defeated
in a battle for $ 1,000 the other night, and altogether Matt is
in doubt as to whether this world is worth living in or not

W. L. Scott's Bolero by imported Rayon D'Or out of All
Hands Around by War Dance, when in receipt of thirteen
pounds from Russell, easily beat him in the Zephyr Stakes,
bis furlongs, last Tuesday. Vagabond, Bolero's stable com-
panion, finished second three lengths back, and two in front
of Russell, who was evidently overrated a few weeks ago.

A great brood mare is a mare that produces a 2:30 trotter; a
greater one is one that produces two or more trotters; still a
greater one is a mare that produces one or more 2:20 trotters;
but greater than all th^se is the mare that universally pro-
duces to the embrace of any kind of horse, colts endowed
with estreme speed, which, when pat in the stud ^r harness
themselves, produce first olass trotters with uniformity.

Official statistics aB to Russian studs show that in Lula,
where horse breeding is chiefly carried on by the Govern-
ment, there are altogether 103 studs. In fifty-five studs trot-
ters are bred: in twenty-four, draught horses and cnacherB;
and in the other twenty-four, only riding horses. The first
category of studs possesses 182 stallions and 926 mares, the
second category sixty-seven stallions and 375 mares, and the
third class of studs 21 stallions and 15S mares. The total
number of horses in all the studs is 336,850.

The one mile rule for races for three-year-olds and upward
has been thoroughly tested at Latonia, and has given the
amplest satisfaction. It was a failure at Lexington because
of the Ecarcity of horseF, and was by no means an entire suc-
cess at Louisville, for the fields there were meagre in quite a
nom'^er of races. At St. LouiB they have been ample,
numerous, as a rule, and a trifle unwieldly at times, but the
contests they afforded have been bo much more satisfactory
than the short scrambles the public had been used to that
there is no comparison between them.

Albert Cooper, the veteran colored trainer, had a slight
argument on Suburbau day with one of the Hough brothers
and throw up the stable. Albert had done very will this year
with the black three year old Burlington, Come-to-Taw and
Drizzle. The probability is the Houghs will not do as well
with their stable under different hands for the reBt of the
season. Cooper will have a public stable and should have
lots of patronage, as at one time or another he has handled
a host of cracks for J. B. Haggin, Santa Anita, Theodore
Winters and other prominent turfmen.

The well known thoroughbred mare Huntress died on the
13th, from injuries received in the railroad accident. She
was carefully nursed to the last, and when George Hankins
was notified of her death he instantly telegraphed back,
' See a physician and have Huntress' body embalmed ; do this
at any cost."

Huntress was by Springbok— Edith, and was the greatest
handicap mare in the West. As a three-year old Bhe won
both the St. Louis Fair Oaks and Charles Green Stakes. She
won all three of the Kentucky Jackpot Stakes at Lesington
Louisville and Litonia this spriog

"Tunbridge Wills is justly famous," says a Kentish piper,
"for the piety and propriety of its inhabitants, who comprise
more than the average number of maiden ladies. The most
respectable virtues, however, ma}' be overdone, says the
'Pink Un'which is edited by the versatile J. Corlett. The owner
of a well known stud horse (Evolution) in the neighborhood
of Tunbridge Wells has been accustomed to send the horee
weekly to the market in charge of a groom. The other day,
however, the groom was stopped and sent back by the police
on the ground that an animal of that character could not be
allowed to show itself in the town. I presume that an edict
will shortly be issued requiring all horses in Tunbridge Wells
to be put into trousers*"

In silent, patient, unresisting endurance of suffering from
which he has not been allowed to fly, the horae has few
equals, says the Sporting Wor'd. He plods patiently on
from day to day suffering from heat, CDld, starvation and
thirst, until his bones start through his skin, and his wasted
muscles can no longer raise him from the ground. He car
ries his rider without a groan or a pause with flanks heaving
for life until he drops dead. No person can be prepared to
deal properly with the horse who starts with the too common
impression that he has to deal with a cunning, courageous
obstinate animal. He has usually to deal with an animal
simple as a baby, nervous as a lady, and timid as a partridge.

To Mr. Bybeeor any other horseman — Dear Sir: If any
of your friends have any doubt that everything is not all
right in regard to our race meeting to be held at Tacnma,
commencing July 1, you will do me a'ereat favor by telling
them that on account of the short time I had to get the track
in condition I could not come over to the meeting at Portland
and esplain. Now, if you consider my word equal to the
occasion, and that I am responsible, tell any horseman there
will be $6,000 to race for put up by C. P. Chamberlin, as
that amount has been agreed upon by the owners, and I will
give security that the same will be forthcoming.

Oegeonian. C. P. Chamberlin, Portland.

The third anuual Rancho Del Paso Bale was highly suc-
cessful; 95 head were sold for $115,850, in average of $1, 219
Last year 95 head were sold for $113,750, while in 1888,64
head were sold for 5112,795. The principal difference is in
the Maud Hampton colt, which this year Bold for $7,000 as
against $22,000 last year, and $3S,000 in 1S8S. Marcus
Daly was the largest purchaser, buying twelve head for $31.-
500; Pierre Lorillard bought nine for $16,300, while L. J.
Kose gave $11,375 for nine head. Of the stallions Sir
Modred bad much the best average, 24 (15 colts and 9
fillies), youngsters averaging $1919. Darebin's eight colts
and seven fillies averaged $1533; Tyrant' four averaged
$838; Warwick's niue, $761; Kyrle Dalv'e eight, $753; Joe
Daniels, eight, $703; Tyrant, four. $83S; Hyder Ali, eleven,
$568; John Happv. eight $563; Longtield, two, $600; Talis-
man two, $555; Milner, one, $450.

There is no doubt in my mind that the cbaraoter of the
colt is largly determined by the condition of the parents at
the time of conception, an eschange says. If the Bire's vigor
be sapped by too much stud service, you can hardly espect
the colt to be uniform with one begotten in a state of full
vigor. I suppose the reader means, as a breeder, to aim at
great results rather than numbers. To lhat ei-d it is certain-
ly enough to let a horse serve once a day; and, indeed, I
would prefer that he is u?ed only on alternate daya if practi-
cable. Certainly one good colt is worth ten ordinary ones,
and if it be true, as I verily believe, that moderation in the
use of stallions will result in better prngency, then it is poor
economy to yield to the temptation to overdo it. With all
the care that can be exerc'sed yon will get enough common
ones, but no one will doubt the sapped condition that over
Bervice produoes must prove detrimental to a stallion's suc-
cess as a sire.

Joe Courtney has left Mr. Winter's employ. Kascal has
been sold, El Rio Rey turned out, and the rest of the stable
turned over to John Davis, who at one time trained for Clif-
ton BelL winning for him, among other races, the Omnibus
of 1882 with Harry Gilmore. Little Ruffin and John Davis
were among the other more than useful horses trained by
Davis for different ownerB during Mb long career as a trainer.
Davis Bhould soon win a race with the Winteis' stable, which
so far has been unable to catch the judge's eye first.

The love of sport is early planted in (he mind of an Eng-
lish school boy, as the following story shows:

*'A clergyman, whose vigorous denunciation of all kinds
of racing and betting is well known, called at a school whose
teacher he knew, and asked the yourjg scholars several ques-
tions in Biblical history. Among other items he inquired:
* Who was Iahmnel ?' and was rej jiced to see the alacrity with
which a bright faced boy held up his hands indicative that
he was brimful of the required information. 'Well, my boy,
who was he,' inquired the reverend gentleman. *A jockey,'
replied the youth. The clergyman was much shocked at the
'sportirg' characterof the answer, but had sufBcientpresence
of mind to ask the reason for such a supposition. The ur-
chin promptly replied that according to the' verse 'Ishmael
grew an! became an Archer.' The examination in Biblioal
history was at once brought to a close."

Speaking of exercise for stallions, a well known English
racing authority sayB: Although it will always remain matter
for doubt in some minds whether Bend Or is Bend Or by
Doncaster, out of Ronge Rose, or Tadcaster by Doncaster,
out of Clemence, certain it is that Bend Or, as he stands at
Elton, is one of the loveliest specimens of horse flesh that the
eye ever looked upon. His career at the stud without "being
unique,a° in the case of St. Simon, has nevertheless been suc-
cessful enough to be worthy of his great celebrity as a race
horse, and most remarkable has it been how very few of the
mares that have been sent to him subsequently proved bar-
ren, only two such being recorded m his last season. It is
well within the bounds of possibility that this excellent rec-
ord is in the di-md due to the fact that Bend Or does a hun-
dred and twenty miles of walking exercise every week of his
life, averaging twenty miles in each of the six woiking days,
while the seventh is observed as a day of rest.

Messrs. Judson, Latta and the OH brothers have, says
theEscondido Times orginizad the San Pasqua Horse Breed*
era' Association, for the purpose of improving the stock of
horse3 in this part of the county. The fine imported pure
bred Cleveland-bay stallion, Goldfinder, purchased by them
last month is the first move. In establishing a breed of fine
horses, John Judson and B. B. Rockwood have had up to
the present time some fine horses, and experience has proven
to them that in no part of the State can be found better
conditions, in way of climate, soil and feed, fcr the success-
ful raising of 6ne horses, than are to be had in the San
Pasqual, Valley Center. Escondido and the ccuntry — tiibu-
taryto this section. Hence at great expense they have organ-
ized the present company for the purpose of handling pure
bred imported stock, crossed with our native horses. In a
few years this section will become noted as producing as tine
horses as are raised in any part of the State. It is one of
the best signs of the new era of prosperity in this part of the
State to find our farmers investing in this class of property.

The annual meeting of the Directors of Agricultural Dis-
trict No. 25, composed of the counties of Napa and Solano,
was held in Napa Thursday of last week, the following Di-
rectors being present: L. L. James, Nathan Coombs, John
Even. Napa: F. W. LoebBr. St. Helena; L. G. Harrier, Val-
lejo; J. Hoyt, Benicia; E. Leake, Dixon, .i. T. Hatch, of
Suisuo, wss unavoidably absent.

Napa was again selected as the place for holding the next
Fair, and the date was fixed for Angust ISth to 23rd,. inclu-
sive, making Napa second in the GraDd circuit, San Jose pre-
ceding, Petaluma following, and Oakland succeeding Peta-
luma.

Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Pres-
ident, L. L. James; Vice President, F. W. Loeber; Treasurer,
John Even; Mr. McCullom, Treasurer of the Nana Co. As-
sociation, will however, perform the duties, Mr. Even turn-
ing over the business to him; Secretary, A. H. Conkling.

The following Committee on Premiums wa3 appointed;
Messrs Loeber, Coombs, Even. Harrier, Leake.

The local Association was empowered to receive and ex-
pend the State appropriations, and to take entire charge of
the Fair.

A well known Eastern gentleman (at present Ftationad at
Mare Island), endowed with sporting proclivities, slightly in-
clining to fox hunting, but still with a great love for the
trotter, writes me in regard to the birthplace of the well
known trotter Pilot Knox.

Down on the coaBt of Maine, in Kncx County, there is a
rugged little peninsula dear to the sportsman's heart, known
as Bristol Point. This tongue of rocks, birdns and alders af-
fords caoital woodcock and ruffed grouse shooting, and when
the bird season closes, no better ground for chasing sly rey-
nard can be found. It was for this last sport that I found
myself on the point during the frosty morniugs of November
a few years ago.

While returning one afternoon from a very exciting chase,
in which a grand old red fox of sixteen pounds had* been de-
prived of his brush, a youDg farmer who had joined in the
chase, and was returning to the rendezvous with me, called
my attention to an exceedingly dilapidated little barn, and
marked that it was "in thar" that Pilot Knox first saw the
light.

Of course, my curiosity was at once aroused, and a few
questions elicited the following facts: Mr. Orville Clark, who
owned the rocky little farm, tumble down bam, etc , had
been the possessor of a very good road mare of local raisiog
by Col. Elswcrth 1769, dam unknown, and as she managed
to pass all turnouts on the road, he was emboldened to breed
her to a local Btallion, Black Pilet 1797, who at that time
had no particular reputation otherwise than being consid-
ered a strong, clean legged, strong backed horse, with every
indication of "getting useful if not speedy" colts. The colt
Pilot Knox came in due time, but showed no great form, and
Mr. Clark beiog rather disappointed, sold him for a fair
price for what he had shown. In new hands the colt soon
developed speed, and promised so well thBt he wae sold to
some expert horseman, and eventually proved himself one of.
the greatest stallions in the country. When Mr. Clark-heard
bow well the colt had shown up, he bred the mare again to
the same stallion, and the next co't, Silver Knox, was eagerly
sought for and brought a much better price than the first.
Silver Knox, however, proved a disappointment, for though
a good trotter in Maine, he did not develop speed enough to
win any monev out of the State, aud Mr. Clark, in a fit of
disgU6t, sold the mare, whose subsequent history was un-
known to my informant.

The Missoula Gazette says that Joe Nelson and B&rney
Mowry came down Tuesday morning of last week from the
Marcos Daly's ranch with a carload of fine horses. They
consisted of eight two-year-old thoroughbred runners, and
the celebrated St. Patrick 2:19£. Mr. Nelson went East with
the running horses the same day, and Mr. Dowry left the
next evening with St. Patrick for California.

Although the horses Alcryon and Nelson, with their own-
ers and the driver of the former, stand suspended by a reso-

not to be caught napping by any legal trick; they have there-
fore, by resolution, barred both horses, owners and driver
from participating on any of their tracks during the season
of 1890.

The board of stewards of the Grand Trotting Circuit met at

The Haggin stable followed up their grand victory of Wed-

2:34 had stood cince 1880, but had twice been equalled: in
1886 by Jim Guest (Supervisor), and in 18S8 by Firenze, who
was then four years old.

A New York morning paper says: It is amusing to note the
wrapt adoration of Pierre Lorillard for his love, the turf.
Once in a while the master of Rancocas writes a letter to the
newspapers protesting that he does not bet more than $500
-on a race, and doubtless that is true, but it Bhou'd be re-
membered that Mr, Lorillard playd what are technically
known as "short horses." A "short horse" always has a long
price, Mr. Lorillard is nothing if not enthusiastic, and. it is
due to his unquenchable enthusiasm that he attained his
former great figure in the racing world. A sudden fondness
for yachting, and later on a complete absorption in Tuxedo
caused him some years ago to lose his faith in mankind in
general and racing in particular. He left the turf with as
much precipitancy as he had gone on it, but it was impossi-
ble for him to keep entirely away from his old love. He is
the popular idol of a racing man — big, breezv, handsome,
well dressed, friendly and striotly reliable. His stable has
always been run on principles of absolate integrity. This
year Mr. Lorillard has been on the track morning, noon and
night. He talks horse until midnight, and is the first man
around the following morning. A good many men have tried
to get away from the fascination of racing, but the majority
of them do not make any more of a success than that which
has distinguished Mr. Lorillard's recent effort. The public
is to be congratulated upon the return of an old-timer in this
instance,

Mr. A. C. Dietz has already Bent Ringwood to J. A. Dust-
in to be campaigned through the circuit. Longsworth 2:19,
who has made a highly successful stud season in Ventara
County, will be sent up to Dustin next week. Both are
confidently expected to get very low marks before next year.

The less important betting agencies have yielded to M.
Constans* ordinance, which was published in the Journal
Officiel to-day, but has not yet been served on those whom it
concerns The London Daily News of June 4 says: According
to the decree, beta can only be mad6 on race courses, and for
sums over 5f. There are 3 000 agencies in Paris, most of
which are held at publio houses, where drinking and gamb-
ling go hand in hand. The great agencies, however, which
have offices of their own, intend to tight the Government
before the Council of State. They will be represented by
Maitre Demange, a Bouapartist advocate. Last night they
elected a syndicate of defense. It appears that there is an
arrkie of the Court of Appeal of Rouen deolaring betting
agencies of the "Pari Mutuel" class to be legal. Fifteen
agencieB and 6porting offices took part in the election of the
syndicate. Some advise defiance, others propose simply to
continue bosiness in a disguised form as commission mer-
chents, taking 5 per cent, on the bets. A movement is be-
ing started to transfer the business of the bettiDg agencies to
the race-course companies. The pretext is that the business
would in this way be utterly disassociated from drink. But
it is probable the public houses would spring up around the
new agenoies, perhaps , belonging to the racing companies.
Racing and tippling in absinthe, beer, and other drinks
which are now sold at bars, are brutalizing the male part of
the trading classes, and the working population of Paris.
I met a Frenchman to-day who has been thirty years in
South America. He was at Chantilly last Sunday, and was
horrified at the drinking and rowdyism which he witnessed
there. In his time, people used to take coffee and eau sucree
flavored with orange flower water, and never thought of a
"nip" unless immediately before dinner. Civilians seldom
took absinthe, which was introduced by officers who had
served in Algiers.

Quite a good Btory is told; of how Isaac Murphy fright-
ened millionaire Baldwin once so as to cause him
to swallow a chew of tobacoo. It was two years ago,
and Murphy had the mount on Baldwin's horse Volants at
Saratoga; just before the start he called Murphy into the
grand Btand and said, "Now Murphy, I don't want any
monkeying about this race, none of your sensational finishes.
Yon just cut the old horse loose, and send him from the fall
of the flag to the finish, I've got a lot of money on this
race, and don't want to be worried about the result." Mur-
phy showed his white teeth in a smile ot acquiescence, and
then in a low tone impressed the ladies in Baldwin's party
that he would make the old man faint away. When the
flag fell, Murp-by pulled Volante back to fourth place, and
held him steady 'round the turn; going up the back stretch
the leaders flew, with Murphy trailing along quietly as
thoueh ont for a pleasure ride. Baldwin began to kick, and
bit off' a big ohunk of tobacco and began to chew at a tre-
mendous rate. As the horse rounded the lower turn and
entered the stretoh, Murphy began moving up inch by inob;
it seemed an impossibility for him to reach the leaders, but
he did, and one by one thev surrendered, until when within
a hundred feet of the wire Volante had disposed of all but
one. Then with a magnificent exhibition of horsemanship,
Murphy fairly lifted his mount up to even terms, and in the
last bound landed Volante a winner by a noBe. Before the
jockeys dismounted, Baldwin turned to a member of the
party and said: "Gaorge, 1 wish you would get theBe tickets
on Volante cashed and bring the money to me at the hotel.
I'm going home right away. I don't feel well; some fellow
swallowed a chew of tobacco which I had in my mouth,
when that black devil made that close finish."

The above story has been published in all — or almost all
the Eastern papers, and as no credit is given is given one
cannot tell who was the expert who manufactured it. The
tale itself is very amusing and does credit to the original
writer; unfortunately the moat amosing portion of the pro-
duction is hardly justifiable, for Mr. Baldwin does not chew.

The Blander action which was some time ago instituted in
Australia, in connection with statements m He re Moorbank'a
running in the Caulfield Cup appears to be coming to a head
at last. The Melbourne Sportsman says: The case came be-
fore Mr Justice Webb in the Supreme Court, on Friday last,
in a preliminary form. The action is brought by Mr Pat-
rick Kelly against Mr. JameB B. Gill for the recovery of
£5000 for Blander, the alleged slander consisting of state-
ments that the plaintiff had "stuffed" and "stiffened" Moor-
bank for the last Caulfield Cup. The defendant pleads that
the words were true, and, furthermore, that they were spok-
en on a privileged occasion and without malice. Particulars
of the defence were asked for, and the defendant then stated
that what he had said was true, and that the words were
spoken of by him as a member of the Victoria Amateur Turf
Club and the Viotoria Club, and a person pecuniarily inter*
eBted in the running of Moorbank in the Canlfield Cup, in
the course of an inquiry into the suspicious running of the
horse, and for the purpose of carrying out the object of the
club in rtgolating and managing horse racing in Viotoria,
and to persons interested as owners of horses and employers
of the plaintiff in the conduot of the plaintiff as a horse
trainer. Mr. Fink applied on Friday for further particulars.
Mr. Duffy said that to give further particulars would be in
reality furnishing the plaintiff with the evidence in sopport
of the defence. His Honor agreed with this view, and re-
fused the application.

During the past few days I have been, says a member of
the Pink Un Staff, an interested listener to a good deal of
information concerning the mode and manner of racing in
Buenos Ayres, given by a gentleman well qualified to form an
opinion, seeing that he gave it a practical trial of six months'
duration, and "but for other ties at home would be very glad
to ha\e_another turn over there." The now familiar tales of
foul riding and general thieving amongst the contemporary
jockeys over there was confirmed, as also to some extent the
poor welcome given to English aspirants to fame and for-
tune. Extraordinary tales were told and instances cited of
gigantio sums being given for horseflesh, young or old,
merely through pique or jealousy among the would-be buy-
ers, and thi3 was remarkably so in regard to a yearling sale,
when some thirty youngsters were disposed of on an average
of a little over or under a "thousand." The demand for
European blood was at its height last year, when as much as
£24,000 was actually offered for Stuart, and half that sum
was similarly rejected in the case of Amphion; and I believe
I am right in adding that neither the one nor the other has
since won a race.

It is, I believe, the rule, rather than exception— with a
view, of course, of advertisement — to give free leaps in Bue-
nos Ayres in a horse's first season, and this will aocount for
the assertion that when Ormonde made his appearance in
Buenos Ayres, M. Bocarj, his owner, received no Iosb than
eight hundred offers of mares to send to the Eaton caBt-off,
whose plucky owner, however, declined graciously, on the
plea that he had given £14,000 for the eon of Bend Or and
Lily Agnes with the Bole aim and purpose of keeping him to
serve his own mares exclusively. From all accounts, the
Duke of Westminster's colt did not desert these shares with-
out first leaving hiB mark, and the time may not be far dis-
tant when his late owner will wish him back again; for I am
told by a competent judge of Buch matters, that two grander
looking yearlings than his coltB from Shotover aud Angelic**
respectively have seldom been Been. The former, who will
be remembered as winner of the Derby, has grown into a
magnificent mare, that is certain to make a big mark, the
more so, as I understand she is one of the privileged lot that
have visited St. Simon this year. Angelica is the dam of
Blue Green, and if the mare coold throw such a useful youog-
ster to Cooruleus, she should surely produce something out
of the common to so exceptional a horse as Ormonde. There
seems now greater reason than ever to regret that Bend Or's
best son should be in exile.

There has been as indicated in a previous issue a good
deal of kicking anent the 1000 guineas. Vigilant and the
Wizard, equally well known raciog writers, say in the Sport-
ing Times: "We are much surprised that no one has ven-
tured to accuse the Duke of Portland of not being a sports-
man for not having allowed Semolina and Memoir to be
ridden out to the last ounce in the One Thousand. 'When
a man makes a fool of himself, I always notice that there are
plenty of people to cheer,' was the sententious remark of the
"Old Castilian" on a memorable occasion, and we have do
doubt that if the Duke of Portland had given the jockeys of
Semolina and Memoir orders to ride irrespective of each
other, loud would have been thd cheering. The most re-
markable occasions of one horse being pulled in order allow
the stable companion to win were the Derby of 1827, when
it was said that if the bridle had broken, Glenartney would
have beaten Mameluke; in the St. Leger of 1840, when Lord
Westminster sacrificed Maroon to Launcelot; and in the
Stewards' Cup of 1878, when the Duke of Hamilton's Lolly-
pop had his head almost pulled off in order prevent him
from running over Midlothian. At Shrewsbury, when
Queen of the Chase beat Blue Beard, and almost broke the
owner of Amsterdam, the declaration was made to win with
the loser, the jockey of the winner, who, it transpired bad a
spite against his employer, pretending that he did not know
that it was Blue Beard that was runniDg second. This gave
rise to a tremendous controversy, Admiral Rous writing letters
to the Times declaring that to poll a horse under any circum-
stances was an act of brutality, and Mr. Chaplin, on the oiber
hand, contending that where a publio declaration was made
of theowner's intentions, no wrong was done. The common
Bense of the argument, in our opinion, lay with Mr. Chaplin.
We forget when Count Lagrange ran first and secoDd for the
Cambridgeshire with Palestio and Gabrielle d'Estries,
whether any declaration was made. The most remarkable
instance of two horses belonging to the same owner running
home together in a great rflce was when Marie Stuart and
Doncaster fought out the St. Leger of IS73, when every yard
of the road was contested, and the filly eventually beat the
colt by a head. Mr, Merry, who owned these animals, was
then getting old, and was* contemplating parting with bia
stud; and. moreover, the two animals had few engagements
of any value. Under these cironmBtancea he gave the pub-
lic some fun for their money with a vengeance. He auted
very differently over the St. Leger of 1858. when The Hadji,
ridden by Aldoroft, interfered with the deep laid plain to
win with Blanche of Middlebie in preference to Sunbeam.
Luke Snowden watched Aldcroft as a oat would a mouse, and
when he saw that The Hadji had taken the measure of
Blanche of Middlebie, he pounced on him with Sunbeam
and won the race, "Blanche" finishing third. The desire
was to win with the latter, though financially it road
difference to Mr. Merry which won, he having '
both. They were trained in different Blables.

Daly has struck his gait with the Senators and is nnUino
up a wonderful article of ball. For a heavy man be is an
exceedingly active one, and the hardest hit gronnd ball
scarcely ever passes bim. His throwing lately has been very
imcorate. and his general clever work and gentlemanly de
r .eanor has made him a prime favorate with Frisco audiences
n^hil f ]Vbe b?tli^av«a6es, being considered

.'ily is certainly an inestimable treasure to Saorameito.

Base-ball has taken a firm grip upon the inhabitants of the
Hawaaian Islands, who now have a four club league of their
own. Games are played every Saturday, and large crowds
always assemble at the contests. The double-umpire system
has been adopted, and the game is enjoying a big boom.

A spectator in the bleachers last Sunday said that "Beilly
was so much surprised when he made that hit to right, that
he kept on running out to the field to see if it actually was a
hit". He certainly could have made second without much
exertion, but that he did not we believe was the coacher's
fault and not Reilly's.

By the proposed transfer of the Stockton club to San Jose
Stocktonians have at last awakened to the fact that tbey
have not been giving the team that represents their city in
the League the support it deserves. It was all very well
while the team was winning games, but when it experienced
a streak of hard luck such as is likely to visit any team, no
matter how strongly constituted, the people withdrew their
financial aid, and shifted the expenses of the team on the
shoulders of the too good natured directors. Stockton has
yet an abundance of time in which to recuperate, and if her
new timber turns out favorably, good accounts may hence-
forth be expected. None of the teams are "out of the woods"
yet, and Stockton's chances for pennant honors are almost
as anspicions as those of any of them.

The Senators have added strength to their pitching depart-
ment in Hoffman. The new pitcher has Bhowed himself to
be a good one and has yet in reserve a few balls that will be
puzzlers. In addition to a good out and drop ball he is said
to possess one that fairly jumps and which is most deceiving
and effective.

In the four games in which Stanley caught, he made an
excellent record. He was sixteen times at bat, and made
four hits, a percentage of .250. Of twenty-one chances he
accepted fourteen put outs and rive assists giving him a
fielding average of .905. In the four games, he caught Kil-
roy, Perrott and Hapeman, allstiangers to him and bad but
one passed ball.

The Pittsburg League Club has signed pitcher Zeigler, ex-
manager of the Sacramento Club. Shouldn't wonder but
what he may turn oat to be a good man.; — Sporting Life.

Well, if Zeigler can be termed a good man, why, we can
just flood the Eastern market with a car load of amateur
pitchers who can give the ex manager cards and spades and
beat him easily.

The following story is told by Frank Lane; actor, journcl-
iet and ex-umpire, about Harry Pitt, a Boston actor, for-
merly of the Daly company. Pitt is an American, but he is
awfully "English, you know." Tbere was to be a ball game
between theatrical people for the benefit of a deserving char-
ity, and Pitt was asked to add eclat to the occasion by offici-
ating as umpire. He knew not the first thing about base
ball, but he consented to officiate if it would help the char-
ity. In the first inning a hit was made by the second man
at the bat. He reached first, and danced off toward second.
The batter knocked a liner to the short stop, who pulled it
down and threw it over to catch the man at first. The first
baseman touched the runner, who slid back to the bag, but
it was a very close decision. "How is it?" he yelled appeal-
ing to Pitt for a decision. The latter, lost in admiration of
the play, responded with; ' Bloody wonderful, my boy!"

Port Townsend is gathering together a strong team, and
makes a very good showing in the exhibition games played
against the Pacific North West League teams. Daddy Hayes
and Dwyer, ex-manager and captain of the Portlands, have1
already been signed, the former to play at short and the lat- :
ter second base. Billy Hulin, one of the beBt infielders in the
California Amateur League, has also left to join the same !
team.

We are very much inclined to believe that the wvery know- '
ing, over flowing, easy going" Colonel has made a serious j
mistake in releasing Meegan. Steady Pete is in the "zenith '
of his glory" in the sultry days of Jnly August and Septem-
ber, and these are the months in which the actual struggle
for the pennant occurs. Possibly before the season is over,
Robinson will have occasion to regret his hasty action, bat
then he has to keep np his reputation as "champion re-
leaser" you know.

An exohange says: "In private life, Anson is one of the
most interestine and pleasant companions one can ask for.
He is a good talker. There are four subjects on which he
will argue with anybody — baseball, politic?, billiards, and
his trip around the world. He is a tine story teller, and
can spin yarns as long as he can keep awake. He has been
called 'the Rider Haggard of baseball', and as far as the abil-
ity to tell an interesting narrative goes the appellation is
correct. On the field, AnsoD, in spite of his 'kicking', and
bis bulldozing of umpires, which is quite as notorious as that
of EwiDg, and oftentimes more to the purpose, is universally
popular. His value as a player, captain and manager cannot
be overestimated, as may really be judged by the able way in
which he has, during the past three years, brought his al-
most experimental team to the front. HiB methodB are more
of the driving than the persuasive kind, and the rigor with
which he holds players up to their duty does not make him
over popular with thani. And yet few men who ever worked
for Anson have other feelings toward him than intense admi-
ration and respect.

The Sacramentos are called the ''Senators", and the Oak-
lands are generally known as the "Colonels". The Stock-
tons are referred to as the "Wind Mill", "Gas City" or
"Slough City" team, while the San Franciscos have been
without any special designation except simply the "'Frs
cos". A baseball writer on a daily paper haB, however, dub-
bed them the "GoblinB" which is a very appropriate appel-
lation, goblin blue being the shade of the uniform worn by
the team.

THURSDAY'S GAME.

With the bases full, Haddock, at New York (P. L ), made
* fearfully wild pitch that went clear to the backstop,
O'Day on third started for home, but Mack secured the ball
on the first rebound from the backstop, and throwing it to
Haddock, who was covering the plate, caught the runner,
and Umpire Ferguson said he was out. Ewing immediately
claimed that the ball had passed the catcher ninety feet, and
consequently the runner was entitled to the baBe. .Measure-
urement showed that it was eighty-nine feet to the backstop.
— Pittsburg Chronicle.

Jack Sheridan has tendered tendered his resignation to
the Calitornia Leagne, and has been appointed on the staff
of the Players League umpires. Sheridan was undisputably i
the best umpire ever Been on the California diamond, and it ]
is doubtful if he has any superiors in the country. He has
shown himself to be pOBBessed of excellent judgment, is
quick but cautious, and immovably decisive. Honest, fear-
less and capable he won the admiration of players and pub-
lic alike, and who now Btand as one man in wishing him ,
every success in his new sphere of usefullness.

The following is from the Stockton Independent.— Stanley,
the young amateur catcher, made a decided hit and was
cheered every time he came to the bat, and the applause
was deserved. He may be only en amateur, but so far as
ability is concerned, if Sunday's gama may be taken as an
index, he outranks many professionals. He catches well, but i
his strong point is throwing to bases. At the commence- |
ment of the game, the Oaklands tried the experiment of run-
ning from first to second, bnt they found the ball and the,
second baseman waiting for them with such unfailing regu-
larity, that tbey were taught wisdom by experience. Both ;
the O'Neils and Duugan tried to steal second on Stanley, to
their sorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO vs SACRAMENTO.
June 26th at Haioht Street.
The Sacramentos came down with the determination of
winning at least two of the three they play here, and if
they play as well as they did Thursday, the chances are
they'll come off with flying colors and win all three. Their
team was in great form, Daly being back at short and Hoff-
man in the box. The new pitcher showed himself to be a
good man, but did not exert himself to any great extent,
relying more on hits in-field than his strike out abilities.
His support was absolutely perfect. Young and Stevens
were in the points for Frisco, and the Btrong armed pitchsr
did good service, barring an occasional wildness. The Sen-
ators did not hit him hard, but iheir hits were very fortu-
nately bunched with out-field errors of the FriBCos, and thia
gave Ihem the game. The Capitol City boys started off well
in the first inning, Daley getting his base on bails, and then
Godar hit safely to center, the ball passed Hanley and before
fielded inside the diamond, both Daley and Gcdar scored.
They tallied again in the fourth inning getting two runs,
and in the fifth and sixth one each. The Friscos had been
blanked till the sixth, in which inning they earned two runs
on Sweeney's double, and Hartley's and Ebrights singles.
In the seventh they eirned another. Buoban hit safely to
center and crossed the plate after two men were out, on
Shea's double. This was the extent of the home team's run
getting, and the score ended six to three. The principal
features were the batting of Ebright, Godar, Shea and Bow-
man, and the magnificent playing of Stapleton, Daley, Godar,
McHale, Beilly and Sweeney. Gagus umpired, and although
the audience seemed inclined to guy many of his decisions,
his judgment on bases was in every instance correct. On
balls and strikes he was a little "off", but favored neither
one side nor the other. The score.

Bowman, the catcher of the Sacramentos. is a player that
JB "np to date". He is one of the prize gems of that constel- j
lation of Senatorial stars, and, clever as the remainder of the '■
team are, with an inferior man in his position, the Saora-
mentos would not occopy the exalted station they hold to-
day. Bowman is a player of the most finished stvle, knows
every point of the game, never loses his head, and has won-
derful powers of perception. Add to this his great reach,,
receiving and throwing abilities, and you have a thorough
backstop in the fullest meaning of the term. Bowmau is
also a Btrong reliable hitter, is speedy on the paths, and
tireless as a coacher. Without being offensive in the leaat, '
he can "jolly up" bis own team (and "jolly down" the others) |
better than any coacher we have seen this" season.

SAN FRANCISCO vs. STOCKTON.

Friday, June 20th, at Oakland.

Four hundred people were all that witnessed this game
which was one of the best ever played on the Emery grounds.
There was lots of good hard hitting, and the fielding was
sharp and with few exceptions perfect. Both Young and
Ferrott were exceptionally steady and gave a soperb exhibi-
tion of their art, neither albwing a base on balls. Frisco
started oft in the third inning scoring three runs on Steven's
hit, FadgVs error of Saea's fly. Sweeney's hit and Hanley's
triple. In the eight Stockton who bad been playing mag-
nificently got in four runs by hitting Yonng hard and timely
and Ebright's very costly error. In the ninth Frisco tied
the score by tallying one on successive singles by Levy,
Speer and Stevens. Then in the tenth they wou the game.
Banley hit safely again, Ebright ditto and Hanley scored on
Levy's sacrifice, Ebright coming home also on a wild pitch.
This ended the mn getting and the score closed six to four
in favor of Frisco. ABide from the heavy hitting the features
of the game were base play of Buchac, Selna, Sweeney, Shea
and Fogarty, the fielding of Cahill, Holliday and Levy and
the splendid backstop work of Stanley. The score:

OAKLAND vs. SACRAMENTO.
Friday, June 20th, at Sacramento.
This was an extra inning day and in the game at Sacra-
mento the SenatorB lost a twelve inning game joBt by an
"eye brow." It was a great game all through and the Sacra-
mento boys should have won. A close deci3ion by Meegan
favoring Oakland gave them the victory. Both pitchers did
excellent work, Harper being very effective. Cobb was hit
harder but kept the safe shots off him well scattered. At the
beginning of the twelvth inning the score stood three to two
in favor of Sacramento. For Oakland, C. O'Neill led off with
a single. Stiokney hit to Harper, who threw to second, and
Daly and Reitz, who were both covering the bag, allowed the
ball to pass and C. ONeill scored, when there should have
been a double play. Stickneywent to third on the throw
"and scored the winning run on N. O'Neill's hit to Reitz. The

SAN FRANCISCO vs. STOCKTON.
Satdrdat, June 21st, at Haiqht Street.
This was a very one-sided affair, with San Francisco get-
ting the best of it throughout. But it was not a tame game
by any means,and althongh badly worsted, Stookton played a
plucky up-hill game. TheFriscoB certainly won on their mer-
its. They batted heavily,ran the base scientifically, and fielded
elegantly. But one error was made on their side, and that
was a misplay by Sweeney. The Stocktons did not do near
so well. Their hitting was light and their fielding was
marred by some serious fumbles at critical moments. Hape-
man was touched up very lively, and was wild. Stanley's
catching was simply grand, and he saved Hapeman a num-
ber of wild pitches. Speer was Buffering from a sprained
ankle, and gave way in the fourth inning to Young, who did
well both at the bat and in the field. The score:

SACRAMENTO vs OAKLAND
Saturday, June 21st., at Sacramento,
The Senators took sweet revenge on the Colonels in this
game by shutting them out without a run. Hoffman made
his first appearance for the Senators, and pitched winning
ball. He was admirably supported by Bowman and the re-
mainder of the team, Carsey pitched a nice game for the
Colonels, but their fielding was very rocky at times, and this
contributed to Sacramento's victory. Stafford, formerly of
the Altas, umpired very satisfactorily. The score.

SAN FBANCISCO vs SACRAMENTO.
Sunday-, June 22nd., at Haight Street.
This was a superb game. It was fall of snap and ginger,
and both teams did some wonderful playiDg. The Senators,
inspired by their victory of the day previoas were in excel-
lent form, and gave the bix thousand people present a sample
of pennant winning ball. Harper was a "tower of strength" in
himself, and allowed but two singles. The team back of
him bunched their hits nicely and fielded like "thorough-
breds". Young was also in excellent condition aud pitched
a masterly game. The fourth inning was a fatal one for him
though. Goodenough craoked out a Bafe one, and Farrell
sent out another. Then the quiet little third baseman —
Godar met one sqnarely, and it sailed over to the right field
fence on a line, Goodenough and Farrell scoring, and Godar
breathing easily at third. This was two rana and a mag-
nificent lead. Then Stapleton Bcored in the sixth. Ed took
his base on balls, Bowman's hit advanced hira to second,
and then Roberts hit a hard one to Ebright. The Bbort-stop
gathered it in neatly and forced Bowman at second, but in
attempting to complete a double he threw wildly to Sweeney
and Stapleton scampered home. The Friscos never had a
chance to come anywhere near scaring, their two hits beiDg
divided between two innings. Their fielding, though, was
excellent, and almost on a par with that of the Senators,

STOCKTON vs. OAKLAND.
Suni>ay, June 22b at Stoukton.
The Stocktons gained a most decisive victory in this game.
They had their team rightly placed again, Wilson being on
third, Selna at his old position and Stanley behind the bat.
Kilroy started off badly but soon steadied down and pitched
a fine game. His support was clever. The Oaklands played
a good game but did not hit Kilroy hard while Cobb was
landed out heavily at opportune moments. Prominent
among the features of the game was youDg Scaaley'a magni-
ficent work behind the bat. He captured the crowd bat
throwing out three of the Colonels in the forepart of the
game and then they hugged the bases closely. Cahill, Holli-
day, Fudger, Perrott and C. O'Neill were Btrong at the bat
and McDonald, N. O'Neill, Cahill, Selna and Fogarty ex-
celled in fielding. Meegan'a umpiring was very unsatisfac-
tory. The score:

SEATTLE vs PORTLAND.

Saturday, June 21st, at Sfattle.
Seattle both outbatted and outfielded Harris' Webfootera
in this game and won with apparent ease. Munday pitched
a good game for Portland, but his support was poor while
the Seattles backed up Fitzgerald in winning style. The
game was devoid of any specially brilliant plays. Cooney

SEATTLE vs. PORTLAND.

Sunday, June 22o at Seattle.
Three thousand enthusiastic spectators saw the Seattleites
<(do" the Portlands in this game by a score of six to five. The
contest was full of ginger from the start and was anybody's
game till the last man went out. Whittaker made his first
appearance in the box for Portland, and barring wildness
pitohed an excellent game. Hassamer, the Portlands new
captain played short aud put up a wonderful exhibition.
Rhne filled the first base position in acceptable style. The
Portlands had a nice lead till the seventh inning when the
Seattles tied the score and went one better; The Portlands
failed to get a man across the plate after the third inning.
The features of the game were the fielding of Howard, Zim-
mer's work at second, and Hernon'b at first, Parrot's at
third, and the remarkable game of Haesamer at short and at
the bat. The score:

Games Played by the California Amateur
League-

The teams are in the same rank as they were last week,
bat the averages show considerable change. Santa Rosa
still maintains her good lead. The Reports, by doing some
good work of late have pulled up very perceptibly. The
Fineks are a very safe third, and the vallejos firm in fourth
place. The Burlingtons are still fifth, and the Aliens con-
tinue to repose undisturbed at the bottom of the ladder.

DAILY REPORTS vs E. T. ALLENS.
Sunday, June 22nd at Haight Street.
The Aliens were not in this game at all, being outplayed at
every point. Bat their baing in a very crippled condition,
will, to a certain extent, excuse the poor showing they made.
They had Johnson in the box and the little fellow worked
hard, but he was badly handicapped, Allen being unable to
catch him effectively, and besides he faced a team of terriffic
Bluggers. The Reports lost no time in getting to work, for
in the first inning they poanded oat four runs, which was
one more than the Aliens secured in the entire game. Monet
was in good form, and the team back of him played splen-
didly. The Aliens presented a zigzag appearance, with the
players badly placed, and praotically no catoher. Allen re-
tired to right field in the fourth iriDing, Beckett going be-
hind the bat. and his work was a vast improvement on that
of his big predecessor. Monet, Mclntyre, Sharp, Gormley,
Reilly, Lewis and Evatt swelled their batting reoords consid-
erably, each doing some powerful work with the stick. The
short stop work of Reilly and Thompson, the base play of
Evatt, Gormley. Buckley and Lewis, and the catching of
Green and Beckett were the features. The score.

VALLEJO vs. WILL & FINCK.
Sunday, June 22d at Vallejo.
This game was a most complete walk over for the Marines.
The Young Giants were BcaTcely in it at all and presented a
very weak team. In the first inning Vallejo scored six runs
which gave them a big lead and which they maintained till
the close of the game. The Vallejos under new management,
has now a very promising team, and if they can play as well
from this on as they did on last Sunday, will surely have a
mortgage on the pannant. Howell and Billings were the
battery for the Giant6 and played their customary good
game. The two Delmas brothers and Cusick were greatly
missed, as their positions had to be filled in by raw material,
and had the above named been on hand the base hit column
would certainly have had a few more figures added to it.
Th6 Vallejos played almost perfectly, BalBz pitching wonder-
ful ball and being accorded great BUpport from Hughes at the
receiving end. The fielders had but little to do, all th« put
outs being confined to Hughes, Ryan, Maguire and Wise.
For the ^Giants the battery, Leveque, Gately and Tillson
performed the best work. The soore:

SANTA ROSA vs. BURLINGTONS.
Sunday, June 22d, at Santa Rosa.
The Sonoma boys did the Rail roaders up in great shape
last Sunday to the tune of twelve to five, It was not a bril-
liant or even an interesting game although witnessed by al-
almost a thousand spectators who remained till the last man
was out. The Santa Rosas outbatted the Burlingtons while
the oppDBite was the case in fielding. But the Burlingtons
errors were nicely bunched with the hitting of the Santa
RoBas in the third inning, and this inning told the tale. Cal-
len pitched his usual strong game but was net well supported.
Cook, Gimmel and Stultz did some very pretty fielding and
Pace's record barring his error oolumn ivould have been an
exceedingly bright one. Tne Burlingtons did not soore till
the fifth when one run came in, and in the seventh and
eighth they added four more but they were too far behind to
have any chance of catching up. Their fielding was far
snperior to that of the "country fellers," Bradley, Malvey,
Deane, Dunn and Fleming playing their positions in a finish-
ed style. McConville, as umpire, gave good satisfaction. The
score:

Strand is not a success as a third baseman.

The Repo rts are a very heavy hitting team.

The Meiceds are having new uniforms made.

Kelly is now playing right held for Santa Rosa.

Mclntyre iB the safest hitter in the Report team.

Monet is pitching ball longer than any of the Amateurs.

Pace did some tremendous hitting in last Sunday's game.

McCarthy is as sure a fly catcher as either Gimmell or
Sharp.

"Dutch" Allen gave a very rocky exhibition of catching
Sunday.

Buick is the fifth pitcher the Burlingtons have had this
season.

Evatt, Lewis and Buckley are the tallest men in the Ama-
teur League.

Howell has Ditched in every game except one this season,
for the Will & Fincks.

Heron, formerly of the Alameda Maroons, and lately with
Santa Cruz, played first for the Giants Sunday.

Dunphy has bad fewer chances at third base than any
other player in the same position in the League.

There was only one chance offered to the outfield of the
Reports last Sunday which was accepted by Hearty.

Santa Rosa seems bound to win the championship, but
Warren and Ashman say that the Sonoma boys flint going to
have a walk over.

Jack Ryan, formerly the first baseman of the Greenhood
and Morans, played that position very acceptably for the
Vallejos laBt Sunday.

McGuire was an excellent addition to the Vallejo team.
He has always been considered a fine in-tielder and heavy
batter, and will be sure to do good service for his Dew team.

Little Beckett is the utility man fnr the Aliens, and he is
a good 'an. He is active, clever and earnest, and although
in speedy company, he is not behind any of them in playing.

Ashman has strengthened his infield considerably by secur-
ing Dave Creamer to play Beoond, and placiog John Thomp-
son at short. Ashman is out for the pennant and intends to
keep the leaders hustling.

The following are the Captains of the amateur teams:
Will & Fincks— Charley Tillson. E. T. Aliens— Scotty
Evatt. Burlingtons — Alex Bradley. Daily Reports— Gray
Gormley. Santa Rosas — Billy Hulin. Vallejos— Tom Mc-
Guire.

Manager Keller has arranged to take the Aliens to Merced
to play three games with the team of that place on July 3rd,
4th and 5th. The team winning two out of three games will
capture the stake amounting to $500 and 60 per cent, of the
gate receipts.

A singular coincidence oocurred in last Sunday's game.
The two short stops, Reilly and Thompson, each had thir-
teen chances offered, and each accepted eleven; and Goimley
and Evatt at firit had each seventeen chances and both
players accepted sixteen.

Reilly showed he was possessed of good horse sense by
playing with the Aliens last Sunday. Although he has made
a wonderful showing with the professionals, he has not been
affected with the swelled head, and says he is quite willing
to lend his services to the amateurs until regularly attached
to a professional team.

The Young Giants had a badly patched up team to Vallejo
last Sanday. First baseman Frank Delmas, third baseman
Lonny and right-fielder Casick were absent, and their places
were hurridly filled in by back numbers. As the three play-
ers named are among the star hitterB of the team it is no won-
der the Giants Buffered defeat.

Baltz has been making a great record for himself la'ely. In
the game against Santa Rosa, on the 21st inst., be struck out
sixteen and allowed only three hits, and last Sunday he
struck ont the Giants fifteen times, aurt only allowed the same
number of safeties. There is no use of the professional man-
agers looking East for pitchers, when we have players of
equal ability right at home in the amateur ranks.

The Burlington team have undergone quite a change, and
are practically the old Franklin team now. Billy Buick is
pitching again, and last Sunday did some excellent work.
McKenzie is placed in right, and is a very Btrong man in that
position, and young Kennedy is also a nice intielder. The
team is a much improved one in every respect, and the "Rail
roaders" are henceforth espeoted Lto give a good aocount of
themselves.

Manager Keller is dissatisfied with his present team, and
and intends securing some new talent. Tom Buckley will
be made captain, and a new battery signed. Among the
players who might be seen wearing one of their expensive
uniforms shortly might be mentioned Bart Parker for
catcher, and Southpaw Nolan, Rohan or Hyde for pitchers.
Frank Loughran might also be induced to play, and will
either be placed in tne field or on first base. Ed Hammer
would be another good man, and Keller wont have much dif-
ficulty in transforming his now tottering team into a winning
one. With Parker behind the bat, and any of the above
named pitchers in the box, Loughran on first, Bxickley sec-
ond, Evatt Bhort, Lewis third and McCarthy, Hammer, Gei-
ahaker and Beckett as fielders, the Aliens would then be
conditioned to beat any team in the League.

Grant Goueher, for several seasons connected with the
E. & O. E. team, has temporarily retired from the diamond,
and is now undergoing a severe course of training prepara-
tory to his entering the "paper weight" class of the Sparring
tournament at the Olympic Club. The medal for this class
has been successively held by Wave Thompson and Fred
McWilliams. Thompson however, has now reduced to a
"shadow weight", and as no member of the club cares to dis-
pute his claim to this honor, the medal awarded him by hifl
confreres will no doubt gracefully repose on his manly bos-
om for some time to come. With McWilliams and Goueher
it is somewhat different. Both are aspirants for "paper
weight" honors, and the outcome of this match is patiently
awaited by hundreds of admirers of both parties.

ATHLETICS.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes.

EDITED BY ABPH1PPUS,

SUMMAEY.

Friday nest will be a g^la day for the runners, wheelmen
and oarsmen. The games of the Scottish Thistle Club, which
will be held as usual at Shell Mound Park, Berkeley, will
draw a very large crowd of people, while the friends of the
club whose emblem is the living O are sure to patronize its
sports, which will take place on the afternoon of the same
day. The wheelmen are bound to be well treated at San
Jose, and as the regatta will be a free Bhow, the oarsmen are
certain to attract a large audience.

THE OARSMEN.

The Regatta Committee have finally decided to allow $500
for prizes for the Oarsmen on the Fourth of July. As stated
iu the Breeder and Sportsman some lime ago, the regatta
will hardly be as successful as in former years. Somehow or
other, the Oarsmen this year do not seem to take a genuine
interest in their training, and with the exception of the pro-
fessional shell race, the contests are liable to prove tame. The
Ariel crew stands a good chance of winning the amateur
championship.

Peterson has been out of training for some months, and
Charley Long should to iu it at th« finish in the professional
scull race.

Growney and Sullivan have been takiDg practice spins
right along, and they are also liable to be heard from.

The amateur barge race will probably be confined to the
Pioneer and Ariel and the Olympic Club Crew^, as the
Lurline Clnb is hardly prepared to send out a crew that
would do it fall justice.

Sunday forenoon the weather was rather disagreeable and
the water choppy, and but very few of the oarsmen mus-
tered up courage enough to launch their shells. In the after-
noon, however, there was a change for the better and several
crews put out for exercise.

On Monday last, Stansbury of Shoalhaven, New 8outh
Wales, the champion oarsman of the world, defeated O'Con-
nor, of Toronto Canada, champion of America. The race
was for the championship and £500 aside, and was rowed on
the Paramatta river. It was an unusually severe struggle
for a mile, but Stansbury outlasted bis man and won easily
in the finish. The contest was witnessed by 40 000 people,
and the betting was very heavy, the wiDner being a 6-to-5
favorite.

The race was rowed down Btream from Ryde to The Broth-
ers, a distanca of three miles. The start was by mutual
consent, aud for the first GOO Yards the men rowed on even
terms. At this point there is a Blight bend iu the river and
around it the American showed slightly iu the lead, at which
hiB friends Eeot up a joyful shout. The champion, however
put od more sttam, and at the white beacon, a mile from
home, had guaged his opponent and had him practically
beaten.

lhe record for every distance from a mile to three miles
was broken. The whole distance was covered in 19:53, the
previous record of 20:44 having been made by Beach in his
race against Trickett over the same course.

O'Connor's backers feel very sore over his defeat, as they
placed great confidence in their man and fully expected to
bring the championship back to America.

Thomas Gihon, the veteran amateur oarsman of this city,
has entirely recovered from his recent illness and was out in
his boat at liburon on Sunday laer.

The house of the Alameda Boat Club at the foot of Chest-
nut street has been comfortably fitted up and the club is now
on a prosperous basis. It will hold its first regatta the latter
part of next month.

C. W. Chauucey, president of the O-Wash-to-nong Boat
Club, oE Grand Ripids, Mich., has been recently elected
president of the North-western Rowing Association.

The great Duluth-Snperior regatta will be held on Superior
Bay. situated between Duluth and Superior, commencing
July 21 and ending July 26. It will undoubtedly be the
greatest event of its kind ever held in America. Duluth is
situated on the west side of Superior bay in Minnesota, and
has a population ot nearly fiity thousand. Superior is direct-
ly across the bay in Wisconsin, with a population of about
twenty thoupand. Between the two cities they have raised
nearly 520.000, a^out $15 000 of which will be given away in
prizes in the various eveDts. In the professional events the
prize money will be as follows:

Singles— 1st prize, S 1,750; 2d, $800:33, §400.
Doubles— 1st prize, SI. 000; 2d, $550; 3d, $350.
Four-oared— 1st prize, §1,250; 2d, $600; 3d, S300.

Single quarter— mile dash— 1st prize, $400; 2d, $?50; 3d,
$100.

lhe Mississippi Valley Amateur Rowing Association's re-
gatta will be held during the same week. The Duluth
Superior Association has subscribed $2,500 toward the prizes,
expenses, etc.

It will be decided in a few days if any open amateur events
will be added to the programme. If there are some of the
Eastern oarsmen will doubtless be attracted to Duluth. The
course that the race will be rowed on is situated directly be-
tween the two cities and is a fine piece of water, well sheltered
from the wind, and even in the roughest weather there is
hardly a ripple on its surface. It is undoubtedly the finest
rowing course in America.

THE WHEELMEN.

The members of the American Bicycle Club bad a run in
full uniform to Mill Valley, Sausalito, on Sunday last. This
was the sixth run of the club ana was under the charge of
Captain Sig. B. Morse.

The committee in charge of the League Meet at San Jose,
Cal., have issued the following notice to all members of the
League:

"Dear Sir: The League Meet at San Jose on the
Fourth will be the grandest one ever held in California. The
track is excellent and the grand stand capable of seating
1,400 people. You will miss a rare treat in wheeling if you
do not come. The programme will reach yon in a few days,
it having been unavoidably delayed.

Committee L. A. W."

The following circular recently issued by Chief Consul
Ralph M. Thompson will be read with interest by all wheel-
men:

Office of the Chief Consul,
San Francisco, Cal., June 18, '90.
, Dear Sir: The renewal list of California Division, L. A.
W., received June 4th, does not contain your name.

Allow me to call your attention to the fact lhat your mem-
bership expires on July 1st.

California Division is fast moving towards the front and is
now in a position to offer far more advantages than ever be-
fore. The League meet to be held July 4th, will be the
grandest celebration ever known to California wheelmeu.
Non-members will not be permitted to participate. Enough
will be saved on this occasion alone, to far more than defray
the cost of renewing your membership.

The Division hand book will be issued July 1st, free to
members. It alone will repay you for renewing.

Many plans are being devised by the Division Board of
Officers for giving members personal benefits duriDg the com-
ing year, aside from the general advantages with which you
are acquainted.

We have just given a century run and it is the intention
to give a series of shorter runs during the coming year, the
expenses of which will be borne by the Division.

In order to carry out all our plans, however, it is necessary
that our membership be kept up.

Applications are being received daily and the membership
rapidly increasing, but we shall regret very much losing any
of our old memberB.

Hoping that it you have not already sent your renewal
East, vou will see that it goes prior to July 1st.

(After that date it will cost $2 instead of $1.)

I am, fraternally yours,

Ralph M. Thompson,
Chief Consul, Cal Div., L. A. W.

C. C. Moore, of the B.C. W., has taken up riding again
and can be seen almost any night on his "star."

Burke, of Los Angeles, is training at the Haight Street
grounds. He is now in good condition and will show up
well on the Fourth of the coming month.

Wheaton, formerly of the San Francisco Bicycle Club and
Plummer, of the Bay City Wheelmen, are going to ride in
the tandem race on Friday next.

Dr T. L. Hill, C. W. Hammer and C. J. Schuster, of the

B. C. W , and several unattached men rode to the Garden
City on Sunday.

George P. Wefmore and Sanford Plummer Btarted on their
wheels from this city on Saturday morning last at four o'clock
with the intention of wheeling to Santa Cruz. They were
compelled to walk from Saratoga to the summit on account
of the rough state of the road which was covered with six
inches of gravel. From Boulder Creek into Santa Cruz they
found the roads in better order. They remained over nip ht
at Santa Cruz and returned Sunday by way of Soquel, Hotel
de Rulo and Alma.

The members of the Bay City Wheelmen are jubilant over
the success of the bond scheme, which is now an assured suc-
cess. Largo sums have already been subscribed, and in the
course of a couple of weeks the committee exprcts to be able
to surprise the club by producing a long list of subscribers.
The B. C. W. boys are deserving of their success for they
have always worked hard and faithfully in each others inter-
est.

Chief Consul Thompson rode to San Jose on Sunday to
examine the condition of the recently constructed four lap
track which is to-be used by the wheelmen on Friday and
Saturday next. The Consul had the men mix cinders with
the loose earth and now the track ia in tip top condition for
record smashing.

A. D. Allen Jr , H. W. Spalding, W. E. Thompson and E.

C. Landis rode from San Mateo to Spanishtown on Sunday.
They report the roads in that neighborhood to be in fine con-
dition.

The annual ran of the 'cyclists of the Metropolitan District
from Newark, N. J., to Philadelphia, came off on Saturday,
June 14th, two hundred starting. The roads were found to
be in a miserable condition, retarding the progress of the par-
ticipants, and making them about two hours behind the
schedule time. Out of the large number wnich started, only
sixty had the pluck and endurance to complete the journey.
The great effort made by the Century Cluo of Philadelphia,
to secore the handsome banner offered for the best attend-
ance, was successful, this club having the greatest number
of men in at the finish. Among those who completed the
journey were Mrs. Dalsen, captain of the Fairmount Ladies
'Cyclers; Miss L. Frehelberg and Miss G. Welch of the Wis-
sahickon Wheelmen. Among the first ones to anive were
Captain Dalsen and several members of the Century Wheel-
men, Dr. Finn, Kings County Wheelmen; F. M. Cossitt,
Riverside Wheelmen; Mrs. W. Fuller, W. H. Meeter, H. E.
Raymond, C. F. Quimby, N. Rogers, G. Warren, and W. J.
Masterson of the Brooklyn Bicycle Club, and members of the
Park Avenue and Oxford Wheelmen. The various 'cycling
clubs of Philadelphia tendered a reception to their visitors in
the evening.

The Elwell European party left New York June 7th on the
La Bretagne of the French line. On reaching Havre they will
begin a tour through France, spending the remainder of June
in that country. Switzerland, Germany and Holland will
use up July and part of August, and on August 17th they
will sail from Rotterdam for London, where they will disband
on August 19th.

The annual Catford race meeting in England was one of
the most successful meets ever held, 10,000 people attending.
The programme was phenomenal in size, there being 183 en-
tries for the half mile novice's handicap in tweDty-four heats,
and 147 entries in eighteen heats for the open mile mixed
handicap. The latter, the principal event of the day, was
won by C. A. Murray in 2m 42 4 5s. The quarter mile
scratch race was won by F. J. Osmond in 37 l-5s. and the
quarter mile safety was captured by E. Leitch in 36 4 5s.
The five mile team race, eight men a side, was won by the
Catford team.

One of the latest additions (o 'cyoling accessories is an in-
strument looking something like a steam gauge, to be fast-
ened to the front forks of a machine, which indicates at what
8peed per hour the rider is traveling.

An electric bicycle lamp has been patented in England
which will burn for fifteen hours.

A ladies bicycle club, with a membership of 15 has been
organized at Bridgeport, Conn.

The annual races of the Connecticut Division of the League
of American Wheelmen, held in New Haven, June £:th, was
attended by about 500 bicyclists. Four hundred of these
took part in the parade at 10 o'clock. David J. Poat, of
Hartford, was marshal of the parade, and Fred Bailey, of
New Haven, was adjutant. The aids were Dr. W. H. Emery,
of Boston; Charles S. Davol, of Warran, R.I; L. A Miller,
of Meriden; E. A. DeBlois, of Hartford; Fred Atwater, of
Bridgeport, and Arthur Munson, of Stamford.

The Hartford Bicycle Club was awarded the prize for the
largest number of men in line, and the Colt Club of Hartford
won the prize for the best appearance. In the aftfrnoon a

tournament was held ot the Elm City Driving Park, the races
resulting as follows;

One mile novice race— Charles G. Sage, Hartford, 1st, in
3:07$, with Leo. C. Heir, Waterbury, 2d.

The L. A. W. Meet.

The programme of the coming League meet has just been
issued and it is a very neat and artistic piece of work. The
following information Is given in the book:

"The League of American Wheelmen is an organization to
promote the general interests of cycling: to ascertain, defend
and protect the rights of wheelmen (which are those of any
driver of horse and wagon), to encourage and facilitate tour-
ing, and to regulate the government of all amateur sports

The General Committee removes a year's accumulated dust
from Its gold tipped Stylograph to pen a cordial invitation to
its fraters in the League, and its friends among the uninitia-
ted, to its Fifth Annual Meet; the former that we may take
them by the hand in a healthy L. A. W. grip, and renew the
jolly good fellowship of former years — and the latter that we
may make the benefits of a membership in our organization
apparent to them.

In selecting the "Garden City" for its '90 tournament, the
members of the California Division feel that its easy acces-
sibility, its good roads, the numerous pleasant spins in its
vicinity, and the well known hospitality of its people, will
combine to attract together a large representation ot the Di-
vision. We woold like to greet every devotee of the noblest
of sports, "from Del Noite to San Diego, from the Sierras to
the Sea," and hope they can all arrange to be with us on the
Nation's Birthday. At this early date indications are good
for a very successful meet.

Away up in the rocky confines of Milpitas, the rariried at-
mosphere already resounds with the soul stirring notes of
the club bugler, scaring the fleet winged Willfwinkum Occi-
dental with a startled wail from her lofty perch, and an-
nouncing that the wheeliets of the metropolis are preparing
to begin the perilous descent of the precipitous declivities to
tbe plains of San Jose; while, with ear to the ground, the
anxiouschairrranoftheGen.com. hears a rasping sound,
as tne lone cyclist ot Siskiyou saws off the unthawed legs of
his winter overalls to make knickerbockers.

A letter just received from an intending "meeter," who
evidently resides in the Murchison part of Los Angeles, says:
"What is the speoiil booking for cyclists to San Jose, don't
you know? And is there a tavern iu the beastly village9 "As
the secretarv has fainted, we will tell yon tbe rest at the par-
ty.

The League party will take place at the Hotel Yeudome on
Saturday evening, July 5th. The grand march is announced
for half after eight, and carriages may be ordered for twelve.
Wheelmen will appear in uniform, their friends in evening
dress. Tickets, admitting gentleman and ladies, SI, to be
obtained on presentation of invitation, of A. C McKenney,
89 North First ereet, or Oswold Granicher, 16 South First
street.

The St. James, the League Hotel is centrally located on
First street, aud prepared to accommodate a goodly nnmber

rate, please present your membership tickets. Further in-
formation promptly and cheerfully furnished by the Chair-
man of the Accommodation Committee, at 15 South First St.,

Saturday, July 5th, owing to the variety of interesting
points in the vicinity of San Jose, it has been deemed advisa-
ble to give visiting wheelmen their choice of spins, instead of
calling a division run to some point which many may have
visited before. In consequence, the committee offers the
following list of desirable places to visit, with the names of
local wheelmen who will act as guides, and to whom visitors
will report, after selecting their tour, at the time and place
named:

New Almaden Quicksilver Mines, round trip, 24 mileB;
Wm. R. Lipsett, G. C. W. Club Rooms, 8 a. m.

Los Gatos, Saratoga, Congress Springs, round trip 25
miles; Joseph DeBimone, G. C. W. Club Rooms, 9 a. m.

RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC.
Little, Kendall and Mclntyre will meet again at Shell
Mound Park on Friday next and one of the best raots that
has ever taken place in that park will be witnessed. The
Scotchmen will back Mclotyre while the knowing ones will
take chances on Little.

On account of so manv counter attractions, the Games
Committee of the Olympio Club have decided to give only a
small programme of events on the Fourth of July. Five of
tn^ events will be for membt-rs of the Clnb, while throwing
the hammer, the running broad jump and the two mile rnn
"/ill he open to all associate members of the P C A A A. No
special effort will be made to boom the meeting, as it is the
iteutiou of the club to hold its first grind outdoor meeting
nn Admission Day, The meeting on Friday next, however,
.^ould attrnot a fair crowd of sport lovers as some of the
cinck athletes will appear.

The two amateur races will bring out a fine field of run-
ners, and with soch men as Cooley, Scott, Moody, Garrison,
Casady, Casidy, Hill and others, the job of capturing ten
handsome medals will be a rather difficult one.

The amateur races will be run off in the forenoon in order
to give the runners who have entered a chance to recrotts the
bay in lime to compete in the Olympic games, which will
commence at 2 o'clock p. m.

It would be in order for the Directors of the Alpine Club
to drop a couple of names from their membership roll, as the
parties we refer to have most outrageously violated the ama-
teur rules by competing in all kinds of professional races.

Last week we received a detailed account of a "fake" foot
race which was stated to have taken place on the previous
Sunday at San Jose between two well known runners. Apart
from the account referred to, we heard so many contradictory
statements that we decided to withhold the factB until some-
thing more definite is heard in regard to the true nature of
the "swindle." Several amateur and professional athletes
and oarsmen are involved in the affair, and when we do pub-
lish the account our readers can rest assured that it will be
authentic.

Captain George W. Jordan of the Olympic Club has re-
turned from a much needed vacation, and will start in to
coach his men again.

Coffin and Jarvis will probably not go in the mile walk on
Friday, and the club novices will have a chance to win some
prizes.

Those who intend taking part in the road walk of the Al-
pine Club from San Mateo to this city on Sunday July 6th,
will take the triin which leaves Fourth and Townsend
streets at 8:30 a. m. Field Captain John D. Garrison recom-
mends the men to wear canvas shoes, straw hats, woolen
shirts and light clothing. All outside amateurs are heartily
invited to take part in the walk.

The U. C. athletes are now enjoying a vacation and will
not take any active part in athletics until after their return
to college.

Albert Perkins, of London, has lowered the roller skating
record for one mile 7 is. He covered the distance in 2m 59s,

Frank Cooley, the well known athlete, is beooming popu-
lar as an amateur reciter. He appears at nearly all the lead-
ing entertainments.

V. E. Schifferstein will attempt to lower the Amerioan
record for the running broad jump at his clab'a games on
Friday next.

CLUB JOTTINGS.

If the application of the Lurline Club is not acted upon at
the next meeting of the P. 0. A. A. A. the application will
probably be withdrawn.

On Wednesday last in this city Mr. DeWitt 0. Davis,
champion light weight wrestler of the Olympic Club met
defeat at the hands of an opponent not bo heavy as he by
twenty pounds. It was a catch-as-catoh-can match best of
sixteen thousand two hundred andtifty falls, to be oontinued
from day to day until one or the other quits. The viotor up
to this writing is Mrs. p. C. Davis, nee Miss Rnby Arey The
happy and heariily congratulated pair left on a honeymoon-
ing trip to the fashionable resorls immediately after being
married, and carried with them the best wishes of half a city
full of admirers and friends.

A meeting of the P. C. A A. A. was to be have been held
on Wednesday evening, but owing to the absence of "Walter
A. Scott, the presiding officer, the meeting was postponed to
next Wednesday evening, July 2d at 8 o'clock.

The amateur clubs are in a qnandary on account of the
law against boxing. If boxing exhibitions are to be prohib-
ited in future some of the amateur clubs are likely to follow
in the footsteps of the professional organizations and go un-
der.

A boom is expected in wrestling, but the sporting men who
have been used to witnessing bloody battles for the last
conple of years will soon grow tired of this tame carpet sport
and resign from the clubs to which they belong:

The members of the Alpine Club are complaining against
the location of their club rooms and it is not at all improb-
able that a change will Boon be made. There will be a spe-
cial meeting of the members at 706 Powell St. this evening
at 9 o'clock for the purpose of considering an offer made to
the club by D. R. McNeill of Central Park. Should the club
decide to move to Central Park a club house will be fitted np
at once in the park and the members will have the full use
of the grounds for training on. As the majority of the
members are out door men the chances are tuat the club
will foster only out door sports in the future.

Grim'B Gossip.

On Monday next, Marvin and Hiokok will leave Terra
Haute with their horses and go to Detroit.

Intending competitors are reminded that all entries for the
Los Angeles meeting close next Tuesday, July 1st.

The bangtails should be well representee! at Los Angeles-
The running programme could hardly be improved on.

James Boyd of San Jobb will have his stallion Billy Thorn-
hill worked, so as to try and secure a record for him this
year.

The time for nominating in the 2:30 trot atLos Angeles has
been extended until next Tuesday. The puree for this event
is $1,500.

L. A. Davis and Orrin Hickok were interested spectators
on Derby day at Chicago, both of them making expenses on
the day.

J. A. Dustin ha<3 had another addition to his stable. Mr>
Theurkauf, of Gonzalez, has turned over to Jimmy the fast
gelding Lee.

The Rural Spirit says that Cy Malkey haB purchased the
loan gelding Tim Murphy, by Kyrl Daly, dam Maggie R.,
paying $ 1, 500 .

The lone track is reported to be in splendid condition and
the horses now there are all doing well. lone will have a
good meeting this year.

The Governor has appointed E. C. Yoorhees of Amador
County and E. J. Gregory of Sacramento Directors of Agri-
cultural District 26.

Who will win the 2:30 class trot at Napa? is an open ques-
tion at present and is a source of much speculation among
horsemen throughout the State.

We have received number 5 of Goodwin's Official Turf
Guile end us usual it is "chock" full of information for those
who patronize the turf.

Mr. A. C. Dietz of Oakland, has aent his trotter Kingwood
to the stable of J. A. Dustiu, who will handle the Sydney
horse during the fall mettings.

Are you going to Los Angeles tor the opening meeting o*
the grand circuit? If not why not? The purseB are liberal-
Do not fail to enter on Tuesday.

The Detroit Driving Club will this year again carry out the
original feature adopted last year of not charging admission
to their grounds on the opening day of the summer meeting.

Dan Honig has purcL«oou uuoi Theodore Winters the
three-year-old colt Rascal by Joe Hooker, dam Mattie Glenn,
He is a fairly good colt and should earn money for his new
owner.

Ab waa predicted in these columns some time ago, Arol,
2:24: will never again come np for the word. The injuries
she received in transportation will prevent the mare being
ever trained again.

Jack HalHoan has two fine Sidney foals at the ranch of
Smith & Sutherland which are perfect beauties He also has
a yearling Director which should prove a trotter if there ib
anything in good looks.

For the great Blue Ribbon stake at Detroit, it is generally
conceded that Goldsmith will start Simmocolon. As Turner
will have in Soisun and Hickok, Prince Warwick, the con-
test should be an interesting one.

Jimmy Goldsmith evidently has Richmond Jr. on edge as
I see that he has entered him in a number of purses back
East. Richmond Jr. is a fast horse and his mark of 2:22f
should b6 reduced materially this year.

Fred Taral, by Frogtown dam Caller On by imp Lgaming-
ton, has been bought by R. H. Cole of Los Angeles, from
M. Berry of St. Louis. The horse will probably make a first
appearance at the Angel city during the coming fair.

Rumor caused me to say last week, that Mr. Albright of
San Luis Obispo had leased the services of Alpheus, 2:27.
From headquarters I now learn that the horse was sold out-
right to Mr. Albright, the price paid is said to be $5,000.

Jim L., 2:20, owned by Mr. Linsuott of Watsonville, has
been taken from the stud, and is now receiving preparatory
work at Fan Jose; C. B. Coffin has him in charge, together
with Mr. Montgomery's Boodle, and several other good oneB.

Guido has shown such exceedingly good form since leav-
ing California for the north that Mr. Babb, hia owner, has
refused $3,500 for him. The colt is a good one and should
be very valuable for a stock horse when his racing days are
over.

F. A. Sprague has been in the city several days during
the week working up the interests of the Glenbrook Park,
Chico and Marysville meetings. Fred is an active hustler
and already many entries have been promised for all of these
meetings.

Henry Sears, of Woodland, has sent his trotting stallion
Harry Nutwood to Sacramento, where he will be prepared for
track work by Worth Ober. The horse is five years old, by
Fleetwood (son of Nutwood), dam by Gold Dube. He is
right bred, and should prove a trotter.

The piratical journal, Parisha Referee of Chicago, after
stealing a copy of Racine's picture from the Breeder and
Sportsman and running it as Dan Honig's Cartoon, last
week republished it as a cut of Salvator. Keep it Friend Re-
feree you may be able to use it again as Firenzi or Cassius.

On the day that Marvin trotted Sunol a quarter in 31 1-5
seconds, Bonner offered Hickok $100, if he would Bend
Adonis a quarter of a mile and beat ?r2\. Orrin refused the
offer as, by winniDg the "century" he might lose thousands
by giving his horse too fast work at this early stage of the
game.

Among the best known to Californian horsemen, of those
who won money at the Portland meeting were. W. H. Babb.
S910; Cy Mulkey $380: W. Wbitmore $180; Dennison Bros-
$110: and Jay Beach $50. The Meeting was a glorious suc-
cess from start to finish, and the Direotors are entitled to
great credit.

In a letter from LeBlie E. Macleod, he states that $25,000
will heal bis wounded feelings in tbe Wallace matter, and
that suit will be brought for that amount against the owner
of the monthly. If the news telegraphed to this city is cor-
rect, Inspector Byrnes and tbe Safe Deposit officials should
also be made parties to the suit.

A drawf among drawfs was foaled recently in the stud of
Mr. George Bruce, Secretary of tbe Northern Agricultural
Society in Eogland. It was a Shetland pony, weighing at
birth only 16 pounds, and being 21} inches high, otherwise
complete from tip to tail. The dam stands 38 inches, and the
sire, Paris, is 39 inches high.

Much of the cruelty practised upon farm horses (and it is
nothing less) is the result of thoughtlessness, and pages
might be written on the subject. How often are horses
jerked and yelled at in cultivating, only making them ex-
ulted aud incapable of performing their work as well as they
would if handled quietly and gently!

Owing to the Fourth of July falling on Friday of next
week, the Breeder and Sportsman will be issued one day
earlier than usual and correspondents must be guided there-
by. I am always glad to hear from all Bections with regard
to horse news, and can always find room to chronicle the
doings of trotters or runners in the various portions of the
state.

When Marvin started East with the Palo Alto string he
took with him the colt Electric Belle, by Electioneer — Beauti-
ful Bells, which had been purchased some time before by
Miller & Sibley of Franklin, Pa. The youngster has been
inspected by G. H. Hopper, one of the owners of Bell Boy,
at the time of his death, and rumor now has it ttiat the oolt
will surely change bands at the reputed price of S50.000.

On Tuesday, July 1st, entries close for the Spring racing
meeting, to be held at Helena, Mont. The programme is a
good one, and as many Californian horses are at present in
Montana, the racing Bhould prove both exciting and profit-
able. In another column will be found the advertisement of
the association.

G. C. Owen, who was formerly employed atPalo Alto Stock
Farm, has opened a public training stable at San Jose.
Already he has secured several promising youngsters from
gentlemen in the neighborhood, and feels satisfied that when
once his merits are known, that he will have all the work he
can attend to.

Harry Starr has his hands lull at Napa, having almost a
score of promising good ones. I have heard favorable reports
from more than one about one of his string named Oakville
Maid, owned by Mr. Crabb, and if Dame Rumor iB correct in
her surmises, this filly will be a thorne in the Bide of more
[ban one owner this season.

Mr. Gilbert Tompkins, of the Souther Farm, has had
patented a new style of foot rasp which should at once spring
into popular favor. It is so constructed that the borse-shoer
can fill a"« parts of the foot at once without touching the frog
thus assuring an evenness of surface fur the part that is to
receive the shoe. Mr. Tompkins is a close student in matters
that pertain to the equine race, and he is convinced that the
invention will prove of great benefit to those that try to keep
abreast of the times.

"Broadchurch" is nothing if not original, in speaking of
the St. Louis Derby he says: "It wad not much of a race—
the St. LouiB Derby. Bill Letcher was not in form and or-
dinary horses could have beaten him, but the other two
horses were not fit to ran in a selling race. Bill Letcher is
only an ordinary little horse; any good horse ought to give
him ten pounds. It is true he beat Riley at Latonia. but
that was no true race. Riley was pulled so his neck was al-
most broken and besides he was carrying a barrel of whis-

Talkingover the article in last week's issue on SamPurdy,
Frank Maloue tells me that after Mr. Keene purchased the
Stallion he was given two heats of two miles each, one
after-noon at the track, but as there were a large number
of persons present, it was deemed expedient to take private
time at some other point than from wire to wire. The dri-
ver was notified of the change in the timing place, and drove
accordingly. Tbe two heats were accomplished in the clever
time of 4:41 and 4:4U, although as taken from wire to wire,
the time was several seconds more. Purdy was a great
horse, and his like may not be seen for many a day.

Did you ever viBit a pool-room and watch the faces of the
crowd as the caller announced the positions of the horBes at
the various dividing posts in the milo? A large majority of
those present have a "wee bit" on the result, and as their
choice happens to be in a favorable position or almost "out
of it," the facial expression vary according to the teller's
report. The modem pool-room would have been a grand
place for Walter Bessnt or W. M. Thackery to study charac-
ter, for surely "all sorts and conditions of men" can be found
in that "Vanity Fair."

The Oakland folks have arranged a bill of fare for their
patrons, which is sure to draw large entries, and is a guaran-
tee of a "big gate." Secretary Diamond has worked indefa-
tigably to secure good entry lists for tbe stakes already closed,
and who can doubt but what the events that close on August
1st will be equally well patronized by the horsemen from all
sections of the State when they are arranging their circuits.
The Directors are all "old hands" at the business, and their
programme is of such a character that there is no ohance for
them to be distanced in the race of competition.

W. M. Murray has disposed of two of his thoroughbreds
in Kansas City. The first is the two-year-old bay filly, Lady
Scoggan, by Little Rnrfin, dam Hiawasse, who has been pur-
chased by J. T. Speaks. The second sold, is the two-year-
old bay colt Parapet, by Bulwark, dam Nettie Brady, This
one was sold to the Paxton Bros.

Mr. Winters has evidently tired of the services of Joe
Courtney as trainer, for he has disposed of Joe, and placed
Tom Conley in charge of the stable. Rey del Rey has receiv-
ed no hard work 3ince leaving Nashville as he has been un-
der the weather, but is now recovering and he will at once
be prepared for his engagements.

C. H. Corey has taken charge of the San Jose race track,
and it goes without saying that everything will be attended
to in first class shape. A horseman himself, "Charley" thor-
oughly understands the wants of others, and those who
attend the Garden city meeting, will have cause for congriUu-
lation that a good man is in charge.

Charles Davids has in training at the Napa track Nona Y.,
2:25; Gold Medal (pacer) with no record; Josie S. by Ha-Ha,
2.22J; Capt. Anderson's b m Eva L.; Mountaineer by Whip-
pletOD, dam Nona Y., and a couple of green colts. Several
of these are above the average, and Charley expects to get a
slice of the money at more meetings than one.

One ot Hiekok's horses is thus spoken of by the Terre
Haute Express: Prince Warwick, by Alcona (he by Almont)
dam Warwick Maid, by Almont Mambrino, the 5 years old,
entire horse owned by Hickok, showed up splendidly in his
work. He is a green horse but is Bweet gaited and is Bure to
give some of them an argument before the season is done.

The Directors of Glenbrook ±*om will spend a large sum of
money in preparing their track and grounds for the annual
meeting in August. They have decided to leave no stone
unturned toward making the 1890 fair the most successful
ever held in Northern California, and if energetic push can
accomplish that feat, I do not fear but what they will realize
their wish.

Dr. Richards, a homeopathic V. S. of Delavan, Wis., has
taken the colts from several mares who=e time for foaling
had expired and who showed by infallible signs that matur-
ity was nigh. In most cases where the dam had made no
efforts to foal, he found the foal out of place. In less than
forty minutes he has the coli alive, standing on its feet and
nursing.

Matt Stom is a rare guesBer, or he has exceedingly good
judgment. To all of bis friends he imparted the informa
tion that Salvator would win the Suburban and Cassius get
the place, and for the American Derby, he played Uncle Bob
straight and Santiago for place. HiB winnings will help pay
expenses until the Glenwood Park meeting, where his colors
will be seen on the opening day.

Frank Baldwin has accepted the management of the Core-
nado Beach Track, and in a note he states that there will one
day's racing given on July 4th. Frank also says that after
the Breeder's meeting Coronado will give a big meeting at
which there will be liberal purses offered and endeavors
made to secure all the best horses in the state to attend. The
buildings and track are not as yet completed, but when the
finishing touches are placed on, Mr. Baldwin says he will
have racing grounds second to none in the State.

B J. Johnson purchased a few days ago from Edward
Brown (Brown Dick) the three year old filly Ruperta, by
Prince Charlie, dam Marguerite. Tbepnce paid was $10,000
a pretty steep figure for a filly, but then Ruperta is one in a
hundred. A good many believe she is the equal of English
I ady, and that means a good deal. It is a question whether
Mr. Johnson has purchased for himself or for somebody
else, may be for the latter.

I had a pleasant call this week from President Kimball and
Secretary Hook of the Red Bluff association and they promise
to have things in splendid condition prior to .the opening np
of tbeir new track. Every attention will be given to detail,
and those who may elect to visit the Bluff City may be sure
of a hearty welcome. It is now many years since fir3t I vis-
ited Red Bluff, and no doubt many of the old timers that
used to frequent the old track have passed away, yet still
there will be some to talk over the reminiscences of early
days when money flowed like water on quarter races, and
thousands were.won or lost on a singlo event.

In that great French remedy known as Gombault's caustic
balsam American horsemen have the king of veterinary reme-
dies for animals suffering from spavin, ringbones, curbs and
all kinds of bony enlargements, as well as strains, rheuma-
tism, etc. This balsam is specially prepared by Dr. J. E.
Gombault, ex- veterinarian to the French Government stud,
and is imported direct by Lawrence, Williams & Co., Cleve-
land, O , who are the sole American ageats. It has been
used io American Btables for about a dozen years and has re-
lieved thousandB of horses from the above mentioned troub-
les. As a counter-irritant it has the approval of our sur-
geons, and has the further advantage that it can be used with
perfect safety, for it will not leave the slightest blemish on
the animal. It is sold by all druggists, $1 50 per bottle.
Send to Lawrence, Williams & Co., for circulars, testimonials
etc.

When Mr. Winters left St. Louis for Chicago, the intelli*
gent correspondent who is supposed to pick up news for
distribution abroad, telegraphed out the following. — "Tnere
has been considerable dissatisfaction with the management
of the races, which culminated to-day in the semi-ofneiel
announcement that Mr. Theodore Winters will be conspic-
uous by his absence from the St. Louis track after this, as
will also his stable. Mr. Winters claims that Starter Fer-
guson is deliberately giving hia horses the worst of the start
at every opportunity. Winters has also had a falling out
with President Charles Green- He complained to Mr.
Green of Ferguson's poor starting, but his complaint was
entirely disregarded. A popular idea prevails out at the
Fair Grounds that Winters is "sore" because of the bad
showing of bis horses. He has not made a cent yet, and
El Rio Rey, the most petted animal of his gilt edged stock'
will not run again this Summer."

Mr. Manly came to town last Friday with a four-horse load
of wood, says .the Fresno Expositor. He disposed of the
wood to Jim Hudson, the north side grocer.

On Saturday alternoon he loaded up with provisions and
started for home. Prior to doing so he watered his horses
at the trough in front of Jim's store.

With a flourish of whip Manly pulled out homeward
bound.

Just before reaching Ferguson's place, about 25 miles out,
i where he was to camp for the night, Mr. Manly noticed his
near leader belching water from its mouth. He thought
nothing of the occurence at the time.

Arriving at tbe station, the horse, a young bay eight years
old, standing 16} hands and weighing 1232 pounds, dropped
down in the truces a moment later to be seized with violent
convulsion.

Mr. Manly and others labored incessantly to relieve the
animal, but'withoat success. At midnight tbe horse, in a
paroxysm of pain, died.

At the post-morlem examination held yesterday morning,
Mr. Manly found a squirming catfish in the belly of the
horse. Hb born bad punctured the coveriDg of the belly,
and an apartnre fully eleven inohee long showed conclusively
what had caused the painful death.

'There can be no doubt," said Mr. Msnly to an Expositor
reporter, "but what tbe horse swallowed the tub at the trough
in front of Hudson's grocery. I did't water my team at any
other place. 8ome time ago I read how Mr. Baker lost a
horse in the same way, but I thought, to my sorrow now,
that it waa a newspaper yarn.

The lone Meeting.

The first clasB programme arranged by the Directors
of the Amador and Sacramento Association, has brought
forth favorable comment from all owners of thorough
bred horses throughout the State, and as it is the only
meeting that is given up almost exclusively to the
"bang tails" it can readily be surmised that at this meet-
ing beginning August 5th, there will be representatives
present from all the principal stables of the State. Rules
of the State Agricultural Society will govern the meet-
ing, except when the conditions named in the advertise-
ment are otherwise.

The Directors also announce that stable room, together
with " all necessary hay and straw will be free to
prospective competitors. The various stakes and purses
an.» so diversified both in regard to distance and for the
d .'erent aged horses that almost anyone owing a thor-
oi *hbred can find some favorable race in which to en-
ter. "Entries for this meeting close on July loth.

The Horseman Guarantee Stake.

The Chicago Horseman, through our columns this
week, announce to the readers of the Breeder and
Sportsman, that they have opened up the Horseman's
Guaranteed Stake for trotting foals of 1890, A stake of
§12,500 to be trotted for in 1894. "While there have been
many stakes instituted for thoroughbreds which far
exceed thiB amount, still it is the largest sum of money
ever offered by private individuals or association for
trotting foals, and no doubt the breeders throughout the
United States will heartily support this great stake.
Although the guarantee is a very large one, the entrance
is very small, and even then payable on the installment
plan. Entries will close on July 1, 1890. at which time
§10 must accompany the nomination; $10 is payable
January 1, 1891; $10 on July 1, 1891; $10 on January 1,
1892; $10 July 1, 1892; $10 January 1, 1893; $15 on
July 1, 1893; $25 on January 1, 1894, and $100 from
those declaring to start on July 1, 1894. Like all other
produce stakes, mares not having foaled by July 1st may
be nominated, and the entry must give the name of the
mare and stallion to whom she is bred, and within thirty
days after foaling, name and description of foal must be
forwarded. In case of a dead foal, the entrance fee will
be refunded. Nominators are liable only for the firBt
payment, and failure to make any subsequent payments
when due shall be considered a withdrawal from the
stake with forfeiture of all former payments.

The Horseman guarantees that the total value of the
stake shall be not less than $12,500; the main stake to
be $11,000, divided $5,000 to the first horse, $2,500 to
second, $1,500 to third, $1,000 to fourth, and a piece of
plate of the actual value of $1,000 will be presented to
the breeder of the winner.

A Consolation Stake of $1,500 is also offered to be
trotted for within four days after the date of decision of
first race, over the same track and under the same condi-
tions and rules. This Consolation stake is open only to
horses who start and win no part of the main stake.
In case the stakes exceed in value, the guaranteed sum
of $12,500, the .excess shall be added to the Consolation
stake, which shall be divided into 50, 25, 15 and 10 per
cent.

As there are so many breeding farms in California
that depend upon Eastern markets for their sales, it
is only natural to suppose that this stake will receive a
bountiful support from the large establishments here.
Those who are interested will find full particulars in the
advertisement.

Guaranteed Purses at Stockton.

On the first day of July the entries will close for the
six trotting and running events offered by the Stockton
Fair Association. Attention has already been called to
these stakes in a former issue, but bo that owners of
horses eligible for these purses may not overlook them, we
deem it expedient to call their attention once more to
them. Four guaranteed purses are offered of $1,000
each for the three minute class, 2.25 class, 2:30 class and
the 2:40 class; the payment of eaci of these is the usual
10 per cent., divided in installments into three different
payments, the horsa having to be named when the final
payment is made.

A district trotting race for four-year-olds or under, is
open to Amador, Calaveras, Tuolumne and all the San
Joaquin Valley Counties. The purse is $500, which will
be divided into four moneys. The Amador stake is for
the thoroughbred division for all aged horses open to
Amador, Calaveras, San Joaquin and Stanislaus Coun-
ties. The entrance to this purse is $20 each for all
starters, and the Association adds $150, the second horse
to receive half of the entrance money, the distance being
one mile. In both of these district stakes we anticipate
a large number of entries, as the horse breeding indus-
try of that particular district has gone forward with
long bounds within the past few years. In the vicinity
of Stockton alone there are many first class breeding
farms, and the highly representative stallions that are
now owned in that immediate neighborhood would be a
credit to any breeding farm in the country.

Remember the entries for all of these stakes and
purses close on Tuesday, July 1st.

The Los Anereles Association.

A note from the Secretaiy of the Los Angeles Associa-
tion notifies us that the 2:30 trotting race, for which en-
tries were to have closed laBt week, has been, by order
of the Board of Directors, kept open until July 1st, as
there are many other large purses in addition to this one
that also close on the same date; horsemen should read
the Los Angeles advertisement over carefully and then
make their nominations. The Association this year has
surpassed all previous efforts in preparing a first class
programme and also in offering very large amounts in
added moneys, and they are well worthy the support
of all horsemen throughout this and adjoining States.

The Grand Coast Circuit.

San Jose, Napa, Petaluma and Oakland have joined
jn together, and this wep-k present to the readers of the
Breeder and Sportsman a full page advertisement con-
taining each programme for their respective race meet-
ings, which will take place in August and September
next. There has never been a time in California when
so much money has been offered in purses as the present
year, and the horse owners who may be fortunate enough
to have winners will be able to recoup themselves for all
trouble and expense that they may have gone to in pre-
paring their horses for the season's campaig . The
Oakland Association has adopted the novel rule of nam-
xng the majority of their stakes after some prominent
stallion, and it must not appear strange if a Guy "Wilkes
should win the Director stake or a Sidney win the Dex-
ter Prince, while a Mambrino Wilkes is liable to carry
off the honors in the Hawthorne purse; as Mountain Boy
has been such a short time in this State, we can hardly
expect him to win the Electioneer purse, but there is a
possibility that a young D iwn may carry off the money
offered in the Stamboul purse. Taken all in ail, the nro-
grammeB, as presented, are good and arranged in such
order that horsemen will have no trouble in filling tbeir
dates at the different meetings. There are still a large
number of purses which are open for entries so that
horse owners in the State should make a careful examin-
ation of the programmes and enter accordingly.

For the Honor of California.

The s^ioke of battle had hardly cleared away from the
great contest which occnred on Tuesday of last week at
Sheepshead Bay, before the wires notified us of the fact
that a match race had been made between those gieat
giants of the turf, J. B. Haggin's Salvator and D. T.
Pulsifer's Tenuy. The excitement in regard to the
Suburban had run high and Tenny had been quoted
for many days prior to the event as the favor-
ite in the betting, but withia the last forty-eight
hours prior to the Suburban's being run, Salvator had im-
proved considerably in the minds of the public and as a
consequence the two were almost equal in the betting,
the Californian representative having many staunch and
true friends. The word "Californian" is hardly proper
to use in connection with Salvator except that the honor
be applied from pride of possession, a Kentucky bred
colt, he has never seen the Golden State, for although
bought as a yearling he was sent on to the Eastern
stable of Mr. Haggin, and as yet has not made the over-
land trip. However, Mr. Haggin's ownership of the
wonderful colt was enough to make all residents of this
State pin their faith to what they recognized as their
representative in the great contest and when he won the
Sururban, as is only natural to Buppose, great joy was
expressed by all who are interested in horses. For two
or three days prior to last Wednesday the principal topic
°f conversation in all the hotels, clubs and popular placeg
of resort was the great race match that was to determin6
the merits of the two well bred stallions. That California
supported Salvator to a man is only reasonable to believe,
for while there may have been a few who believed in the
great sprinting ability of Tenny, still Salvator had
shown himself such a wonderful colt that it looked use-
less to place money against him, and that the many
friends of the Haggin stable had good grounds for their
judgment was evident in the resuH of the race.

Kingston's remarkable performance of 2:06* made last
year was knocked completely in the shade and from the
telegraphic account, it can be readily surmised that
there was less than a quarter of a second difference be-
tween the two gladiators, although the mile and a quar-
ter was compassed in the remarkable time of 2.05. Mr.
Haggin may well be congratulated in the possession of
such a horse for we know it has been his intention for
some time to add Salvator to the already large stud at
Rancho del Paso.

The Undine stable owned by Messrs. Williams &
Ramsdell have also cause for congratulation as they have
during the week tended to enhance the value of Cali-
fornia productions by winning at Chicago with their
first class colt Racine. It is true that for the class of
company he was in, the Palo Alto- bred colt was in at
remarkable light weight, having evidently been over-
looked by the handicapper; by winning his mile as he
did, hands down, in the really excellent time of 1:41 we
may presume that hereafter he will have to carry lumps
of more weight.

Not to be outdone by other stable the Maltese villa
colors were seen first past the winning post on Wednes-
day last at Sheepshead Bay. The wonderfully good
mare, Geraldine, making the short three-quarter track
in 1:10, and on the following day L. J. Hose's Fairy was
second in a race, the time of which was 1:00 2 5. Fol-
lowing up the successes of her stable companion Firenzi
on Thursday defeated a field of good horses at her own

569

special distance, one and a half miles, winning in the
record-breaking time of 2:33. This mare has been a
good bread winner for several seasons for the Haggin
stable, and as she has jus^ come to herself there is every
reason to believe that there is plenty of more dollars in
sight which she will add to her credit on the right side
of the stable ledger. The thoroughbreds have started
off all right for California's honor a id glory, we can
only trust that our trotting representatives who are now
in the East will do fully as well and repay the owners
for the great trouble and large expense to which they
have gone, in taking their horses to the Eastern States
to compete with the best there is in the land.

The Sonoma and Marin Futurity Stakes.

In conversation with Revtral prominent members of
the Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Society within the
past few days, we find that it is extremely probable that
an exceedingly large list of entries will be made in the
Futurity Stake recently opened by that progressive asso-
ciation. "While it is true that the stake is confined to a
limited district, still there can be no doubt but what the
counties named contain a larger number of firs*, class
horses than can be found in almost any other section of
California.

The race will take place in 1893 for foals of 1890 and
aB the entrance fee is only $75, the payment of which is
distributed over almost three years, there is no one but
what can afford to enter for this prospectively large stake-
As usual neglect to make payment on the dates
stipulated incurs a forfeiture of all payments already
made. Entries will close on next Tuesday, July 1st., at
which time those making nominations must pay £5 for
each entry. $o will also be due on January 2, 1891, $10
on January 2, 1892, §10 on July 1st, 1892, $15 on Janu-
ary 2nd, 1893 and $25 on July 1st 1893. The associa
tion will add $25 for each Btarter over two and up to five,
and §10 for each additional starter up to ten.

The district from which entries will be received com-
prises Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Lake, Mendocino, Solano.
Yolo, Colusa and Contra Costa Counties. The Board of
Directors reserve the right to declare the stake filled or
not without binding themselves to any specified number
of entries. We fully expect to see a very large entry
list and look forward with great anticipation to a note
from Secretary Maclay assuring us that the stake has
met with unqualified indosement from all horse breeders
throughout the district.

Our Tennessee Letter.

The Northern Circuit.

The Northern California Circuit announces through
our columns this week that they have arranged for four
consecutive weeks' racing, beginning at The Willows on
August 12th, Bed Bluff August 19th, at Chico August
26th and at Marys ville on September 2nd; §18,000 are
offered in stakes and purses, the entries for which will
close with the various Secretaries on August 1st at 10
o'clock p. m. The events have been so placed on the dif-
ferent programmes at the four points of meeting that
there will be no clashing, and the horses taking part
will have ample time for rest between races of a like
class at the different points. "We shall have occasion in
the near future to speak something further of this North-
ern Circuit, but in the meantime would advise all horse-
men to carefully examine the programme as published
in this week's issue.

Hugh B. Deane.

A sudden and much to be regretted death was that of
Mr. Hugh E. Deane, which occurred last week at his
home in Oakland. Mr. Deane was never of pronounced
physique, but had be^n fairly well until about three
months ago, when a general failure of vitality began
and the courtly niau went day by day down to the
grave. Mr. Deane was created of fine clay, in the
shapeliest mould, and within him moved all those in-
stinctive promptings which make the gentleman par
excellence. Modest and retiring, generous alike to all,
cleaving to friends through all exigencies, he will be
sadly missed at all councils of those who fancy coursing
in which sport he found his only recreation.

Change of Entry Date.

The Directors of the Nevada State Agricultural Socie-
ty have seen fit to change the time of the closing of en-
tries for their annual races from September 1st to August
1st. This is a very good move, as without doubt there
are many horses now eligible to the slower classes which
will before the 1st of September, have secured records
for themselves, and this fact would probably deter many
from crossing the mountains to take part iu the Nevada
races. By closing at an earlier date it will give the
owners a better chance to place their horses in the races
where they now belong, and will also insure larger
fields of horses for the annual meeting at the Nevada
Fair.

Gallati.v, Tenn., June 21

Breeder and Sportsman — It is many weeks yet before the
racing season of 1890 draws to a close, but after the running
of the Brooklyn and Suburban Handicaps, the raceB for the
older horses do not excite much interest, and the racing
seems to lack animation, when it is compared with the en-
thusaism and speculation that has made the two big handi-
caps such femoTis events. True it is there will be a great
deal of stakes offered for the aged horses, but after the
Brooklyn and Suburban, that part of the raciDg drama is
overshadowed by the big stakes for the two and three year
olds; such as the Junior Champion, Matron acd Futurity
stakes, and the Omnibus, Realization and Lorillard Stakes.

I, for one, believe the Jockey Clubs would make a move in
the right direction if they would announce more stakes with
more added money for the older division. What oan a first-
class four-year-old win nowadays compared to the winnings
of a two-year-old or a three-year-old? Take the racing sea-
son of 1S83 as one example. Proctor Knott, as a two-year-
old, won upwards of $69,000, while The Bard, who won all
his races but one, and who started in every big all-aged event
of the season except the Suburban, had less than 520,000 to
his credit. The same season there were half a dozen three
year olds that placed considerably over §20,000 a piece to
their credit, Last season El Rio Bey and Chaos — the latter
a very ordinary youngster — won §46,480 and §63,180, re-
spectively, while the amount won by the six largest winning
4-year olds and upwards ot the season did not amount to as
much. So it will be this season, Bassell will come near
winning $100,000— provided he retains his form, and Sal va-
tor, the best horse of the year, will probably stop under
$30,000.

Let's give the older horses a chance. Let's do not b; ng
up a mint of money for five and six furlong sprint 2-years
old races, but divide the thing and see such gallant turf
heroes, as Salvator, Tenny, B icelaud, Kingston, JFirenzi,
Prinoe Eoyal, Hanover, Lcs Angeles, Proctor Knott and
horses of that ilk measuring strides for big money and over
a distance of ground. The rapidly increasing amount of
added money given each season by the numerous racing
clubs forcibly illustrates that we are still on the ascendency
in American racing, but pray do not let us ignore the cham-
pions of other years and give all to the younger division. I
hope to see some club remember the "old guard" when the
stakes for another year are opened, and every old tuif man
of the country would dance with delight to know that we
were going to have, say a half a dozen, two-mile races with
from §10,000 to $20,000 to the winner.

Mr. Winter's stable of horses are now at "Washington Park,
where his horses are engaged in all of the stakes. Jo Court-
ney no longer trains for Mr. Winters, and he has returned to
California. The veteran trainer, John Davis, of Missouri,
has been engaged by Mr. Winters, and he now has command
of all the horses. Mr. Winters has sold to Dan flonig the
chestnut three-year old colt, Rascal, by Joe Hooker, dam
Mattie Glen, she by Imp. Glen Athol. He has given to
some relative in Illinois the bay colt Barrett by Joe Hooker,
out of Countess Zicka. Barrett is a full brother to Don
Jose, whom Mr. Winters has given to Pat Grogan to train.
So far none of the Winters' horses have shown winning
form, but under the watchful eye of John Davis I expect the
horses to begin to earn brackets.

At the recent Morris Park meeting, which closed last
Saturday, the stables of Messrs. Baldwin, Hearst, Ashe, Bose
and Haggin captured $14,020 of the money hung up for the
Dang-tails. The Californians made a good start at Sheeps-
head Bay the opening day when Porter Ashe was second
with Geraldine in the opening scramble, and Mr. Haggin's
great Salvator won the Suburban.

Brown Hal truly astonished the world with bis remarkable
quarter of a mile trial at Ewell Farm, and when it was read
in the columns of the daily papers and turf journals of the
country many old Grand Circuit followers shook their heads
and simply said "it won't do." Well, it will do, and it has
been done. To me it seeemed an impossibility, but now a
note from Mr. Horace Polk, Secretary at Ewell Farm, tells
me that it was an absolute fact, and that not only did he
pace a quarter in 28 seconds, but that when he did so he was
pulling a road cart. Of the performance Mr. Polk writes:
"There can be no doubt of Brown Hal's going the quarter in
28 seconds, for there were four watches on him. Ed Geers
who drove him caught the time in 28 seconds; Dr. W. E.
Henderson of Sardis, Miss., made the time in 27^; George
Thomas made the time 273-5, and|Major Brown made it eith-
er 28 or 28J, I have forgotten which. He went a quarter for
John Bostiok in 27£ seconds once, but we never ^mentioned
it for no one would believe it." If Brown Hal can pace a
quarter in 28 to oart, pray tell me how fast he would go at
Cleveland to a sulky?

Mr. Polk also writes: "We had a pretty well bred foal
dropped on the 8th inst. in a bay colt by Anteeo, 2.16i, dam
Alice Bassell, by Lord Russell, '2nd dam Aliue by Allie West,
2:25 (sire of Jewett 2:14), 3rd dam Coquette (dam of Nutmeg
2:23* and Col. Stevens 2;28i) by American Clay. This
youngster will be entered in all the big stakes now open, aud
we expect to be able to get Borne of the money with him.

Mr. Charles Reed shipped from here to-day to New York 48
head of yearlings, the produce of Long Taw, Miser, Muscovy f
Imp. Mr. Pickwick and ForreBter, Mr. Reed's own stallion.
In the lot is a half sister to the Bard, aod a filly by Miser
out of the great Thora. There is also a colt out of Heolo-
pen, a filly out of Sarony, a colt out of Bonnie Wood and a
filly out of Acquittal,

One would judge that ill luck is now a very close attend-
ant in theScoggan stable. Early iu the season the horBes of
the Louisville turfmen fairly swept their fields before them,
and now they are frequently numbered among the swept'.
The Scoggan's bad great hopes of winning ihe Suburban
with Knott, or English Lady, but when the horseB arri/ed
in the East Knott had developed a splint, and after English
Lady had been given an easy mile and quarter in 2:16 she
pulled up very lame, which necessitated her absence as a
starter. Knott was left with Dr. Shopped, who will fire and
and blister the big gelding, and English Lady was taken to
Chicago where they hope she will be able to fill her engage-
ments. I am of the opinion that Knott, famous as the first
Futurity winner, will never win another race,

THE GUtf.

the Northwest.

The sixth annual meeuug oi tne Association began at
Riverview race track, Portland Oregon, Thursday July
19th. The weather was all that could be desired, and the
attendance throughout most flattering, very many ladies
gracing the grand stand and applauding the more brilliant
performances of the notable experts present.

Portland, Seattle, Tacoma. Spokane Falls, "Walla Walla,
The Dalles and Eagene had representatives at the tourna-
ment, all told, ther« being about fifty shooters in attendance,
including Mapr Kellogg and J. O Cadman of San Francisco.

H. T. Hudson, secretary of the association, and BuellLam-
beraon, secretary of the Multnomah Rod and Gun Clab, had
made every preparation in the line of accommodations for
tte e rent,

A targe tent was utilized as a sort of headquarters room,
and also served the further purpose of making a convenient
place for the ammunition, gun cases and other traps usually
cirried by nimrods. Sandwiches and liquid refreshments
were served from the grand stand, and the shooting contin-
ued the entire day. There was no interruption from the
time the tirst shot was tired until late in the evening, when
it became too dark to see.

No live birJs could be prooured. and the Peoria black-
bird was the only target used The targets flew sharp-
ly' but few were broken by the trap?, and the targets met
with general approval. All shooting was under American
Shooting Association rules.

FIRST DAT.

The shooting did not begin on Tharsday until half past
ten, because of delays in listing the participants, and secur-
ing the proper adjustment of one or two of the traps. Mr.
Buell Lamberaon acted as scorer.

At 10 Peoria blackbirds, four moneys. A. 9 A. rules.

Fun at Grass Valley.

The Grass Valley Sportsman's Club, one of the oldest and
most firmly knit sportsman's organizations on the coast has
for many years held semi-annual reunions in the field. One
in June when doves are plenty and one in the fall when quail
shooting is at its best. The club throughout its membership
is unexceptionable from the sportsman's standpoint, its mem-
bers being not only good shots and very food of sport but
also considerate men, alive to all public interests tending to
elevate sport and particularly awake to the neoessity which
exists that men who desire to shoot or fish, either upon
public lands or upon the properties of their neighbors should
recognize rights of ownership and should practice the amen-
ities, lacking which man is but a savage. On Saturday last
the clab and its invited guests drove down to Ben. Van
Slyke's tine floothill ranch, some fifteen miles below Grass
Valley to hold its dove reunion and camp Btew for the year.
The season of course militates against the presence of many
visitors from a distance. Most men who are able to leave
for their vacations have already gone to the mountains or to
seaside resorts, yet about 100 gathered at Van Slyke's and
passed a day in each sport and jollity as only those royal
Grass Valley men can afford.

Leaving Grass Valley at 4 o'clock in the morning the party
by various roads reached the rendezvous in time for break-
fast at 10 o'clock, some of them bringing doves, some eotiu'Q
tails and one detachment which drove by Mr. Montgomery's
having a sack of chickens which that free hearted man in-
sisted were in his way. President Geo. Fletcher was there
as usual. He always seems to be there, just why nobody
has ever been able to determine. It certainly cannot be to
kill game or else he would occasionally hit something. He
is not known to be learned in the misoibility of lime joice,
sugar and ice and tansy and cold tea and other fluids,
although a legend of the neighborhood credits him like the
Polar bear with having been known to "eat three tubs of
ice, then call forsoda water"on the morning aftera day at Van
Slyke's. Lots of people were there, Hon. Bill D. English
and Dr. Matthews from Fresno were ubiqoitoos, tbey carried
wood, stirred the camp stew, ate all the tid bits and cnt up
generally. Dr. I. W. Hays and Coon Seaman relaxed a
little the stem morality which has held their Sunday-school
classes for them for going on a few months. Sweet-faced
Charlie Mitchell wandered about showing his familiarity with
etrang3 tongues and his newly imported whiskers. There
was only one sad man present, Mr. Jim Shoemaker, and his
sadness was because the heat was so intense and perspira-
tion so profuse that he found it impossible to raise his spirits
even though downing whole pints of the spirits of corn made
perfect. Assessor Bond, Capt. Kapp, M. P. Stone and M. L.
Elliott formed a guard of honor about a little booth in a
shady spot where they seemed to be targeting pistols or
something like that, if the popping noises were not miscon-
strued. That Faintly man, Jidge Dibble, tried to stand off
unregenerate Geo. W. Starr in the matter of stew con-
sumption, but after S'arr bad called for his fourteenth plate
the Judge "smole a ghastly smile," lolled over on his back
and was vacaoua forthe rest of the day. After breakfast Mr.
Stokes, the caterer, drove everybody from camp in search of
dovep, and while they were gone laid the foundation for the
thirty gallons of camp stew which suffices to feed the Grass
Valley crowd and the special five gallon caldron which is
always made for Mr. Tom Bourne. The hunters began
straggling in about 2 o'clock, and by 3 all had retnroed.
bringing in in toto some fifteen dozens of doves together
with many rabbits. The game was all cleansed and dumped
into the caldron which was already simmering. After the
seething mess had boiled and bubbled until the peppers and
the onions were thoroughly disseminated, the game and
chickens cooked just right, the bacon and potatoes done to a
toothsomeness, tit fur Key. Mr. Bowman or any other con-
noiseur, the hundred hungry sportsmen grabbed each his
pannikin and set. about that Btew in a way .to recall the King
of the Cannibal Islands. An hour of qaiet munching and
sipping and sighing and smacking and calling for more fol-
lowed, until there was no more stew nor any bread, nor even
tea or anything in the jugs, and a melancholy settled down
over the outfit broken only by a coneentaneoas convulsive
sob as Fletcher and two or three other jokers falsely so called
attempted to say fuDny things. The evening shadows
gathered and through them sportsman after sportsman stole
silently away to assimilate stew until the full when the club
again will gather at Van Slyke's to pour other oblations to

The match between Messrs. C. B. Smith and C. J, Haas
and Crittenden Robinson and Ed Fay is off.

The organization styled the Sportsman's Protective Associ-
ation of California has issued a pamphlet, the central idea of
which is to discourage the formation and maintenance of
clubs of sportsmen which shall le^se or acquire by purchase
and preserve suitable tracts of ground or water upon which
to hunt. The pamphlet is a rehash of what has been said
from time to time by one or two rather thoughtless and in-
considerate sportsman's journals. There is no armament in
it and the sentiment is rot. The Protective Association has
neither sympathy nor support at the hands of sportsmen
generally. Its animus is unworthy, its methods are ques-
tionable, and it is, altogether, a good thing to let alone
severely.

In sending a report of the Portland Tournament, Major
S. I. Kellogg, adds these characteristic notes:

"Oregon and Washington full of woods. Woods full of
shooters. Shooters full of "get there" and enthusiasm.
California boys here, full of 'get left" and despair. Cadman
shooting like a sky rocket. Your humble servant sampling
local mud and soup with a big and varied stock to draw
from.

Tournament a success. "Walk around" system used to
everyone'* satisfaction. No hve birds to be had for love or
money. Peoria blackbird used exclusively. Everybody ask-
ing "Where's that duffer Maynard?" We sympathize with
friend Cadwallader in his trouble and miss him. Where's
Dr. Taber and all the other California shots who ought to be
here? This is a great country. Yon should be here to
sample the strawberries and see the pre'ty girls. Du Bray
says, "Come to breakfast" "No more. Yours, ready! pull! !"

The supervisors of Lake County have ohangedthe game law
for that county so that the open season for quails is from
August 20th to March 1st, For deer, from June 1st to Ooto*
ber 15th.

Mr. W, J. Fox, the affable and popular book keeper at
Messrs Clabrough, Golcher and & Go's, returned from his
first weddine trip on Wednesday last. Seasonable compli-
ments are offered to him and the favored help-meet.

Rarely indeed is it that the same photographic plate irri-
prints the counterfeit piesentment of an individual with an
interval of fifty years between the pictures, yet such appears
upon a photograph recentlv received bv Mr. E T Allen of
this City from John P. Lovell of the John P. Lovell ArmB Co. of
Boston. Mr. Lovell was born in Braintree Mass. on Joly 25th
1820. Commenced business in Dock Square, Boston, on
Judo 13th 18-40 on which day he bad a daguerreotype made
of himself, which shows a pleasant faced, bright-eyed' shock
headed, chokered young man in decidedlv antique costume.
He has remained in business in Boston ever since, and on
June 13th 1890, just fifty years after beginning business, he
was again photographed. The picture showing a portly,
slightly bowed, bald-beaded., firm jawed, shrewd looking old
gentleman of seventy years. The employes of his 6rm feted
him at the Qaincy House in Boston, oo the fiftieth annivers-
ary of his bUBine-s life, and presented to biro a beautiful,
gold-headed, ebony cane. He was then invited to the res-
idence of his son, Col. Ben. S. Lovell, in East Weymouth,
where forty or more of his associates of his early business
life had gathered to do honor to their old friend. Such an
occasion must have been one of great interest. Mr. Lovell
is of that sterling type of business men now fast passing
away, whose ambition was first to preserve business honor
inviolate, second to deal only in articles of excellence, and
thirdly to extend business connections only by legitimate
means.

Muzzling Hounds.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In yonr issue of 14th,
I read an article on muzzling greyhounds. You are correot.
It is just as natural for a hound to pick up a hare as it is for
a cat to catch a mouse. Give it to the cranks when they go
after legitimate sport. w. Gregg.

Chorea.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Would you kindly
in your next issoe furnish me a prescription for my eight
months old English setter. He has had distemper for the
past two weeks and now I notice that his muscles keep
twitching most of the time. I believe they call this symp-
tom by the mine of Chorea, but I have been unable to find
any treatment for it. Would you please furnish me with one
through your next issue. J. A. Caxfield.

[Our correspondent prescribes no easy task when he de-
sires specific instruction for the cure of Chorea. The con-
stitutional condition of which Chorea is a symptom is one
that too often has its origin in congenital weakness, excessive
mentality, what might be called hypersesthtsia or excessive
nervousness, with corresponding weakness of the digestive
tract and excretories. It is a truism that a perfectly
healthy dog will not be troubled by the twitching styled
Chorea, but in a general way it may be suggested, as it has
been in these columns from time to time that the feeding of
proper food,including meats and bones, access to pure water,
with a few doses of cod liver oil and hypopho3phites, and
perhaps the administration of soma alterative and tonic such
as strychnia, in combination with iron or quinia, are as
likely to correct the general condition of the dog as any other
lines cf treatment. Success is more probable in the case o*
young animals^han in thosewhich have gone beyond a year in
age. If in a litter the Choreaic tendency is manifestedgenerally,
it is probably the best course to destroy those dogs affected,
and in the future breeding, select some other sire. Life is too
short to make it worth while to tinker with a twitching,
weakly, badly nourished beast that at best is only capa-
ble of slight exertion and is liable at any time to fits or utter
failure of the vital powers. It seems hardly possible that if our
correspondent's dog has been sick only two weeks he should
ha^e more than passed the acute stage of his distemper, and
we strongly advise that the dog be taken to the infirmary of
Dr. Masoero, at Sll Howard street, and left there for treat-
ment.— Ken. Ed.]

Mr, B. F. SeitDer of the Idstone Kenneis, Dayton, Ohio,
sends his last catalogue and announcement which may be
had on application to him.

Mr. J. Martin Barney still has two Pointer poppies by
Tom Pinch — Galatea which he offers for sale. Ihey shonld
be pretty to look at and good -inea to go.

Attention is called to an advertisement of native foxhounds
which appears in another column. The dogs are young, of
the black and tan sort, and very good looking.

The movement in behalf of a inter-state coursing meeting is
going along smoothly. Mr. Dominick Shannon reports sev-
eral hundred dollars already subscribed and is sanguine the
amount will reach at least $3,000. The coursing will be
done at Merced and if the stake money or purses are large
enough, plenty of entries may be looked for from other
States and there is little doubt that if invited, Col. North and
some of the other leading English coursers would send over
dogs. Why does not Mr. Henry Wormington import some
of the giand dogs which he saw recently in England? Such
an enthusiast is fairly entitled to the best dog to be had any
where.

Kennel readers will regret to leara that the pointers expected
by Mr J, M. Bassford, Jr., and Wm. Schreiber, from their
brood animals, Beautiful Queen and Sal, did not appear.
Queen had been bred to Mountain Boy, a nick which had
produced Queen's Last, one of the best young dogs ever bred
in the State a year ago. and Sal had been seDt to Los Ange-
les to be bred to Mr Vandevort's Billy V. It was hardly
expected that Queen would produce another litter, being very
old, but Sal was relied upon for some splendid youngsters.
Both animals gave every indication of being in wh I

Mail orders receive prompt attention.

It iB proposed to initiate coursing at Coronado. Mr. F. B
Baldwin, manager of the Coronado Race Track, writes that there
are about 5,000 hares on the island and that he proposes to
organize a coursing club. He will find active co-operation at
the hands of Mr. Baboock, of the Coronado Hotel, and other
sport loving gentlemen in the vicinity.

Judge PeBhall makes a long and labored statement in hiB
own behalf in the last American Field as to his relations
wit j and views about the American Kennel Club, The state-
ment lacks the accuracy, clearness and convincing quality of
w at of the writings of that brilliant man. It is to be regret-
■..<:. i that he remains at outs with the Kennel world.

The Spaniel Club is increasing its membership rapidly.
Those desiring to join may send applications to H. P. Rennie,
at .37 Sixth St.. Oakland.

A letter from B.kersfield informs us that quails are exoeed.
ingly plenty this year: on the Field Trial ground particularly,
bevies are large and numerous. Bakersfield is fast resuming
its position as the banner town of Central California for
energy, public Bpirit and general attractiveness. Its young
business men are of the rarest excellence. One of them, Mr
Henry L. Borgwardt is to be made Sheriff for the comiog
term barring political mishaps. His determination, thorough
acquaintance w.th Kern Co., absolute integrity and general
popularity will go far to secure general support for him. We
extend the heartiest wishes for his (success.

Mr. F. B. Dexter, manager of the Grand Central Hotel at
Fresno and owner of several fine pointers and setters, visited
San Francisoo last week, partly to attend to business affairs
and partly to select a few new songs to be Burg at the next
Field Trial. One of the most touching Bights we remember
was Mr. Dexter as he marched up and down thiough the
muddy streets at Bakersfield last January dressed in his best
suit of clotheB, and warbling Annie Rooney, without regard
for the sanitary future of the city, the expostulations from
the police or the evident terror of all the inhabitants within
hearing. He spent an evening at Mr. Schreiber'a while here
with Mr. Linville, Mr. Sanderson and a few more, and we
have not learned whether his remains have | since been
identified yet or not.

Foaled 1 876. Black. Sixteen hands high. Bred by L. J. Rose

A horse of higbeBt form and quality; of great excellence in every point ; a type of his celebrated fam-
ily; of marked individuality, Bpirit and endurance; never properly trained or raced, but shows tbe pos-
session of great speed; perfectly manageable In tbe stable and ou tbe road and track.

As he is sired by The Moor 870, a son of OLAY PILO l\ out of Vashti by MAMBRINO PATCHES, he Is a
most valuable cross for mores of other families. THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bulls and the dams of Sable
WilkeB and Margaret 2:28 (dam of Regal Wilkes. 2-year-old record J:20i).

MAMBRINO PATCHEN is regarded as the unsurpassed sire of broodmares, having, among many
others, sired tbe dam of tiuy Wilkes and of Wm, L (the sire of Axtell), and a son of bis sired thn dam of
Axtell. Tbe public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of The Moor and
Mambrlno Patchen strains of blood. For combining particularly with tbe Hambletonlans it may be called
"tbe ready money cross."

GRAND MOOR will make the season of 1830 for a time at the Oakland Rac« Track and afterwards at my
Ranch, fifteen miles from Oakland. Mares can bt delivered at the race, track to tbe groom In charge,
Pastureat -5 per month. For other food, if requested, an additional charge will be nade.

TERMS, $150 for tbe season, with privileges of retura If tbe horse does not change bands.

Training
The Trotting Horse

BY CHARLES MAEVIN.

This great practical horse book is a handsome,
three hundred page octavo, bound in clotb, ele*
gantly printed. BUperbly illustrated, and explains
In every detail tbe remarkable success of
OSABLE3 MARVIN and the whole plans and me-
thods pursued at Palo Alto as to breaking, training,
shoeing, gaitlne, driving, keeping, racing and
breeding trotterB.

Read what J. C. Sibley, the owuer of St. Bel, saya
of this book: "In this work Marvin has let out all
the mysteries of the craft, and it is so Bimple and
plain that any breeder, owner, trainer or rubber
who haa any relish for his business can take a colt
as a yearling and develop- to tbe highest ami fullest
extent that colt's capacity as a trotter. The work
Impressed me so strongly that I have ordered twenty
copies, and shall place one in tbe hands of every
rubber on our farm." Mailed postpaid for 83.50.

Bire) is uuiversallv known as the best young sire in the world, a producer of extreme speed at an early age.

PERFORMANCES.

MEMO trotted in public in hia two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to
Grandpeiuariceon the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2, thefirBt In 2:32.
He exhibited phenomenal speed when three years old, and had it uot been for a slight strain of his fore fet-
lock, there is little question that he would have shown in pnblic very close to tne best record. On the
Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:20 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds.

As a fonr-year-oid Memo only B'arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed
gTeat speed, and improving as he went on, gre<t hopes were entertained of his going well down in the 'teens
at the P. C, T. H. B. A. meeting, but after Bhowine several very fast miies his leg filled and be was laid up for
the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a flossy black, with
both fore-feet white. His disposition i* all that coula be desired, and his action superb. He i3 a sure foal
getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last seaBon.

TERMS.. $V0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Senson to close JUNE 15th.
when he will be prepared for track purposes, lastarnge $5 per month, fcl ave leased the cricket ground
adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is fine feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. Best

A HALF BROTHER TO

ALMONT PATCHEN,

(2:15, trial 2:13 3-4).

JUANITO JR. is a beautiful bright bay, black
points, with no white, foaled 1886. As a colt he has
given much more promise than did Almont Patchen
at the same age. Instead of being a pacer, he is a
good square trotter, with every indication of great
Bpeed, and is so gentle and kind, that a lady can drive
him. The owner's only reason for selling him is
that business callB bim away from this section of
the State. He will be sold at a reasonable figure.
This is a Bplendid opportunity for a gentleman to
secure a first-class trotter ac a very low figure.

The pedigree of Juanito Jr. is by Juanito (sire of
Almont Patchen), dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom
Moore. For further particulars, addresB

Peruvian Bitters are made of the
purest ingredients and compounded as
carefully as any prescription.

Peruvian Bark, one of its prin-
cipal ingredients, was introduced
into Spain by the Countess, wife of
Count CINCHON, Spanish Viceroy to Peru
in 1630, who was cured of a fever by its
use, since which time, no better remedy
*or Malaria and for Restoring the Natural
Tone of the Stomach has been discovered-

On the Atlantic Coast they are used in
the principal Hotels, Clubs and Res-
taurants, and sold by all Grocers and
Druggists. We have sold them for the past
three years WITHOUT ANY ADVERTISING and
sales have constantly increased UPON
MERIT ALONE, and we unqualifiedly recom-
mend them to our friends and customers.
