SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1890. SUBSCRIPTION FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR. How Salvator Beat Tenny. Although mention wa3 made last week of the marvelous time made when Salvator beat TeDny in the match race for $5. COO a side at Sheepshead Bay, still further comment was deferred until we could get the report sent out by our New York correspondent, and although drawing on us for space give it in its entirety, so that our readers may understand how the race was viewed by the Breeder and Sportsman representative. A day of yellow sunshine, almost without cloud; a day of soft sweet breezes that tempered the heat; a day when water raffles and wrinkles, but does not wave; a time when trees are moving aloft without scorch of sun on the leaves; an occasion too warm for spirits, but not waim enough for ices; a June day when a worker in-doors, though comfortable» would yearn to clear out and go away where there might be waters, and foliage, and shadows — such were the conditions this afternoon down at Sheepshead Bay track, where the great match race between Salvator, the 4-year-old Prince Charlie and Salina, and Tenny, the 4 year-old son of Bayon d'Or and Belle of Maywood, was decided, and where Salvator was returned the victor. Atd thousands of men who work in doors and out, had yearned and had gone down there by the sea where the waters wrinkled coolly; where there were big trees that made great blotches of shadow, and where the soft west breezes caressed the back of the grandstand while the crowds fanned aud perspired on the benches on the other side. Yes, women too — hundreds and hundreds— came down to see Garrison and his black colleague, Murphy, ride good horseflesh for a toothsome prize. Two or three books opened on the race before the first event, but there was not much speculation, as betting men preferred to hold off for better oddB. Only 2 to 3 was offered on Salvator and it was not until Jake Shipsey stuck up 65 to 100 against Salvator that they began to be interested. Ship- Bey's slate did not bear these figures long, however, as a batch of five $100 bills were handed up and he took the bet. 8 till the figures remained and the same man took $500 more. Then Shipsey concluded he was getting in deep water, and lie hauled down his flag. The big match was set for 4:15 o'clock. As Eoon as the winning numbers in the third race had been hung up there was a rush for the betting ring, and in a few moments the lawn was almost deserted. Betting men and bookmakers alike fought shy of each other. The bookies posted up 3 to 5 against Salvator and 6 to 5 Tenny, and still the betting was held aloof. Some small fry invested some $5 and $10 bills, but the big investors would not bite. Finally an adventurous bookie offered 7 to 10 Salvator. That was all the Haggin party wanted, and they fell on the bookies like chunks of lead. The bookmakers held out for a little while longer, and then cut the price to 65 to 100. Tenny's price was lengthened to 13 to 10, and although no big money went on the little swayback, the bookies were chary of offering more odds against him. Most of the Tenoy money went on at 13 to 10, and when the bugle sounded for the post 7 to 5 could be had all around the ring against him. The best at that time was 3 to 5 against Salvator, and barrels of money were poured on him at that price. In the meantime the horses that were to take part in the great race were getting their preparation. Salvator was taken ou the track and with a stable boy on him was sent out for a warming up gallop. He looked in grand shape, and the gen- eral verdict was that he was fit to run for a man's life. His sides glistened under the rays of the sud, and as he galloped past the grandstand he was greeted by loud applause. Tenny was not deserted by any means, but his toilet was made at his stable, and the public did not have a chance of inspecting him. "When the bugle blew, the expectations of the crowd were raised to the highest pitch. Race-goers came down to see a horse-race, and their expectations were more than realized; and aseaoh awaited the start, and glanced at their cards, they saw in the place of fourth event these conditions: The conditions— Match $5,000 eaoh, with $5,000 added by the clab; to carry 122 pounds; good track, the stewards to decide; one mile and a quarter. Salvator 122 (Murphy), straight 3 to 5, place out; Tenny, 122 (Garrison), straight 6 to 5, place out. As the pair cantered upon the track, thousands of eyes follow the magnificent animals, and the admirers of each horse cheer them wildly. Grand specimens of horse-flesh they are, both of them, and their riders appear like part of the animals, so perfectly they are fixed in their seats. Garrison, on Tenny, appears to be confident of winning, for he nods and smiles in a satisfied way at some of his admirers who chaff him. Murphy, like the sphynx he is, looks neither to the left nor right as he gallops past the stand, but he wears a "do or die" expression on his face. He smiles grimly as some one shouts: "No grandstand finish to-day, Isaac; the Soapper's a hard one when it comes to a fight." Now the racers are atthe pist. Mr. Caldwell with a bit of red bunting in his hand, is waiting impatiently for them to get on even terms, so that he may come in for no share of condemnation from the losers. He has not long to wait. There is a sudden flash of color and a strip of red flashes perpendicularly through the dusty air. 'They're off" comes in a chorus from thousands of throats and then a deep silence ensues as the noble racers sweep by the grandstand with Tenny on the inside. "Phew, how they are going;" says a looker-on. The dusty track seems fairly to fly under the horses, so terriffio is the speed. Salvator is in fiont, and Murphy is just rating him along. Garrison keepB Tenny at the hind-quarter of the Suburban winner aud watches his dusky rival with an anx- ious eye. Around the first turn they sweep in a cloud of dust, and the same positions are kept. Murphy is seen to urge Salvator as they enter the baok stretch, and like a flash, the long, rangy chestnut, opens the least bit of daylight be- tween him and his Bwaybacked parsuer. "Look at Salvator leave him," shouts a hundred enthusi- astic Salvator partisans. "Not much," answer Tenny's admirers as Garrison lets out a link and resumes his old position st Salvator's saddle girth. The pace is getting hotter. Faster and faster the swift racers travel, and the far turn is reached with the pair still running so close and steady that a blanket would have cov- ered them. Now the battle royal is begun. The etable boys liuiDg the fence on the turn can see the crack jockeys take a firmer wrap on the rein. A grim look of determination set- tles on both their faces and they gra3p their whips firmly in their hands. On and on they sweep. Neither shows aDy signs of weak, ening yet, and the enthusiasm of the spectators is aroused to a boiling-over point. The spectators, men and women, mount chairs and railings to get a view of the grand straggle. On the far turn Murphy lets out a link on Salvator and the gallant chestnut opens up a gap and his partisans shout that all is over, but GarrisoD begins to ride hard. "Look at Salvator go away," shout the delighted backers of Haggin b horse. Garrison redoubled his exertions, but as they sweep into the stretch Salvator has three pounds the best of it. "Salvator wins in a walk," was the cry, but it was a trifle too soon, for under the Soapper's vigorous ridiDg Tenny commenced to gain as they swung into the stretch. Crash! came the catgut on Tenny's Bide, and he went forward like a shot out of a gun. Murphy saw the move and drew bis whip in readiness, but he did not use it yet. "See him come, see him come," shouted the crowd as Ten- ny came up the centre of the track. Soon the sound of the flyiog hoof beats could be heard by the thousands in the grand stand by the finish. Men's faces were blanched white and hard with sympathy and money in- terest; women sobbed hysterically and laughed and shouted. Then came a time when people held their breath, when they lived only in the eye and ear, when the lungs were strained and still, aDd when the heart ceased its pulsing and ham. mered the brain with quick, hard blood-beats. That patter of hoof beats growing louder finally help3 to loosen the tension. It is an audible evidence of the great race, and the hush that hung on the silent struggle at the far turn is broken as the splendid animals come thundering home. Girrison, the white jockey, is riding like a devil, and now the multitudes can see him plunging the wicked spurs into the heaving flinks of the willing brate he bestrides. With a bound the game colt starts forward, aud as he does not collar the leader fast enough, Garrison goes to the whip. Up to this time Murphy had been Bitting like a statue, but as Ten- ny began to gain slowly on the chestnut, Murphy began to ride. At the last furlong pole Salvator was two lengths in front. Garrison was riding like a crazy man. He dug his spurs deeper in Tenny's side and the switch of his rawhide on Tenny's flanks could almost be heard above the frantic yells of the crowd. Inch by inch Tenny gained on Salvator. Murphy has redoubled his exertions on the latter, and is riding for all he knows how; bat, ride as hard as he might, Tenny still gains, and a great shout goes up that "Tennj wins." Garrison is riding one of the grandest finishes ever 8een on a race track. He fairly seemed to lift his mount to the winning post. Twenty thousand people are yelling like mad as the horses sweep under the wire. "Dead heat, dead heat," the shout went np as the horses heads go by the finish together. Salvator had won, however, by the shortest of short heads, and had the race been 20 yards further Garrison's niignincent riding would have landed Tenny a winner. A wild, glad shout went up as the time was put up. The record was broken all to smash. The record of 2:0G$ was beaten one and one-half seconds, and the judges hoiBted 2:05 as the time. The fractional times were as follows: First quarter, 25 seconds; half mile, :49J; . five farlongs, l:02Jf three-fourths, 1:14$; seventh-eighths, 1:28$: mile, 1:39$- mile and an eighth, 1:52}, and the mile and a quarter in 2:05. Mutuals paid $3 20. Much has been said and written about the ownership of the American Derby winner, and how he passed through many hands before becomiDg the property of the Chicago Stable. And now a story comes from the East that shows how easy it is for the shrewdest of horsemen to be mistaken and overreach a little in a trade. Last fall when Sam Bryant had an auction sale of his horses at Jerome Park, among which were Come to-Taw and Uncle Bob. he placed a reserve price of $4,000 on the latter. The gelding was knocked down at that figure to a bidder for Sire Bros., but on their being asked for the money they denied he was bought with their sanction and authority. Sam Bryant afterward saw them before his return to Kentuoky, and tbey offered $2,000 down and $2,000 this spring, providing he was of any account. To use Sam Bryant's words: "No, you don't, young gentle- men. You are very nice, and I'm pleased to have met y< but I don't quite see why you should pay $2,000 for which next year might be worth $15,000." The deal w closed, and by their own sharpness the Sire Bros, n possessing this year's Derby winner. 582 $lxt jjfceete att# ^ygrtsman> July 5 Examination of Horses for Soundness. The following is from an excellent paper by Koscoe K. Bell. L>. V. S.. pertaining to very tborongh examinations for deciding as to the soundness of horses, read before the Long Island VeieriDary Society at the April meeting: I know of no branch of veternary acienee in which there is more clashing of professional opinion, nor one upon which careful study and observation will yield more satisfactory re- sults, than that very protitable department of onr peculiar calling, known as "Examinations for Soundness." I can only give you a rough outline of the views of some of the many writers who have had occasion to discuss this subject interspersed with a limited amount of original thought gained in the course of a short practioe. Each year I have become more and more convinced of the value of this branch of our profession to the community, and judging by the increased demand for such services, I am led to believe that the public are imbued with the same estimate of it. Very few gentlemen in the large cities will now pur- chase a valuable animal upon their own judgment or upon the representations of the dealer. They want to know from a veterinary Burgeon, not only if a horse is sound, but tbey seek his opinion upon the conformation, disposition, and general traits of the beast. I do not wish to be understood as saying that these latter points have anything in common with our duties; but I know that our clients invariably wish our judgment upon these matters; they lean upon up for guidance in their equine purchases, and often force us to an estimate of the horse's monetary value— a thing we should avoid wherever it is possible this side of actually offending our client. If the animal cannot pass a clean examination, they often make the issue deSnite by asking in bo manywords: "Will he do my work?" They want to know if the horse is serviceably sound. I am sorry that this is so, for I am of those who do not believe that it is an easy matter to say of this horse, "he is sound," of that horse, "he is un- soand." This could be done if we had certain laws laid down for our guidance; certain things always constituting un- soundness; other defects to be classed simply as blemishes. We all know that a certain defect in one animal may render him unnt to perform work, while the same apparent trouble in another may be no worse than an eyesore. It requires a tine discretion, an acute judgment, and long observation to do jastice to the animal and to the buyer. Nothiog makes more enemies for the practitioner than examination for BOundnesB. A dissatisfied dealer can often prove to any in tending purchaser that this veterinarian's opinion is value- less by^procuring a certificate from an equally reliable source, having a contrary verdict upon the animal's bodily conditiou. And each certificate may be honestly given, based upon con- scientious belief. This comes from the fact mat different men view the animal from different standpoints, and esti- mate differently upon certain conformations and conditious. A writer io the March number of the Veterinary Journal exemplifies this assertion by pointing out that a man who has more particularly devoted himself to the study of physi- ology would be more inclined to first familiarize himself with the state of the animal's health. He would inquire into the condition of the circulatory apparatus by noting its effects upon the visible mucous membranes; observing the character and speed of its movements as denoted by the pulse; he will auscultate the respiratory murmur, and note any physiologi- cal or structural abnormalities there to be. met. He will look into the functional activity of the principal glands of the system; carefully take note of the character of the intestinal secretory gland, by watching the condition of the faces; of the hudoriforouB and sebacious glands, by observing the effec's of exercise for the former, and examining the con- dition of the coat for the latter. He obtains an idea of the quantity and quality of the renal excretion to speak for the condition of the kidneys. He will do! admit to make a thorough examination of the organs of special Bense,not only viewing the eye from every angle, but will briog his ophthal- moscope into requisition, to determine if there is complete transparency of the crvstalline lens; if the vitreous humor is devoid of foreign floatirjg bodies; if the retina iB luminous and normal, and it there is targescence of the choridal ves- Bels. But, on the other hand, we fiDd a man equally as con- scientious, though more practical, who deems theEe details, if not absolutely non-essential, of very minor importance. He is spending his time in a much more practical way. He moves about the animal with a studied grace, and touches with a systematic and theatrical show and grave composure, his educated hand, making a few quick strokes of the neck, down the front fore legs, over the fetlocks; slipping back to the rear, he dexteriously manipulates the hips and the hocks. He brings down the admiration of his audience of the usual stable contingent, by a single glanoe at the incisor teeth, a fillip of the ringers in font of the 6ye to test the visionary powers of the wonderful beast, and w.th a dig in the Bide he is prepared to pronounce the animal not a "roarer." With a trot up and down the street he is then ready to give his opinion to the owner as to the soundness of the animal. 80 these two men observe the same defect, but it will have a different significance to each in many cases. Again, personal experience with certain structural effect- ions will influence an individual estimate ot their signifi- cance. Those who have never met a case of sidebooe, pro- ducing lameness, would be disposed to undervalue its im- portance, while the practitioner, observiog hygroma of the hock only as a blemish, would not feel justified in sending its possessor back to his master; or he who has only found Hplents cool and located on the rudimentary metacarpel bone, would hesitate in dealing harshly with one situated a little anteriorly. But converserly, an examiner who is fresh from a poor result in treating such an affection as any of the foregoing, would pronounce severa judgment on such ab- normalities, bo there are very many reasons why two practitioners examining the same animal may differ in their estimate of the horse's worth. We will not speak now of that veterinarian who becomes bo expert with his "practiced eye ' and "educated touch" that a i.1 irefn 1 examination is not necessary for a thorough knowledge of the horse's condition. The time has passed when a harried glance over the stall door will rtsveal to the intuitive mind of the "born veterinarian" a perfect insight nto the anatomical structure and pbysiologic.il functions of the salable solipsd. We have no patience with a man who can see in his "mind's eye" this flame hcrse ten years hence, performing his work to the perfect satisfaction of his trust- ing client. Bnt, to the careful, painstaking, intelligent veterinary sar- ■■■"ii. who goes about his task in a systematic, professional manner, allowing no point to escape him, testing every func- tion, and nsing every precaution to avoid overlooking any defect, carefully weighing everything which has a bearing upon a correot and contentions opinion upon the condition of the animal he is called upon to examine, we de-iire to address ourselves, and try to assist him by an interchange of views. _ - ... , Oar time is too limited to discaBB the many debnitions of "soundness" which are as various as the writers upon the subject are numerous. I am not willing to deny that the definition given us many years ago by Mr. Percival is not as good as any that have preceded or succeeded his contribution to veterinary jurisprudence— so far as it goes. He says: "Any horse which is lame, or has that about him which is likely to render him lame, is unsound." But snrely a horse may be absolutely unsound, and yet free from lameness. I Bhould not employ the second time a doctor who allowed me to purchase an animal affected with pulmonary emphysema simply because he was not lame. Professor Liautard makes a decided improvement upon thiB qualifying definition when he says: "Ad animal to be sound mast be as near perfection as possible; must be free from disease likely to render him useless. We may find remains of disease, and yet he may be perfect enough to be a useful animal." I do not like that portion of his definition which saya "likely to render him useless." He need not be useless to be unsound. He may be able to be useful, and yet his usefulness may be of an unsatisfactory character; and if he find "remains of disease and yet a useful animal" he is not necessarily a sound oDe. Possibly we may be able to arrive at a definition later on which will be the legal standard the world over. To examine an animal thoroughly, we should see him at rest and in action; we should see him hot and see him cold. When at rest in the stall we are permitted to watch how he deports himself; what he does and how he does it ; and espec- ially should we note his first movements when beiog backed out into the gang-way, for I need not tell you the significance of the symptoms which may here be displayed. Examine him in the full light. Place him squarely on his legs, devoid of every vestment save the halter. Look at him from eveiy side, cairying in your mind whatever irregularities you may deteot. From this position there are many pointB which you will be enabled to note. You will measure with your eye how he stands upon his legs; their contour and the confor- mation of important joints and sections; in a minute you have seen if there exiets a curb; if he knuckles at the fet- locks; if he "goes over" at the knees; and many other points of value to be remembered when yoo begin to look into the details. The more experience one has the more he becomes impressed with the value of a system in examinations. Begin at oae point and dissect the live body, with care and with system, using all of our special senses. Starting at the labial muscles, examine everything of importance about the head, mouth, age, pulse, intermaxillary space, eyes, ears, parotid gland and temporal fossa. Passing down the neck, mark its junction with the thorax, the withers, the shoulders, the anterior extremities, the vertebral uolumn, the chest, trunk; then do for the hind legs what yon have done for the front ones, the hips, the stifle, the hock, and so on to the foot. Examine the inguinal region, feeling the condition of the scrotum, and terminating with tail and anus. Tour animal may have stood thiB examination with credit, and now yoa order him to be taken into the street. Thoagh he may have Bhown no unsoundness at rest, he may develop it when thrown into action. He should be led by the halter, with possibly a foot of liberty, and handled by a hostler who knows his business. He Bhould be trotted toward you, away from you, and in front of yon, and displaying a regularity of action which only oomes from the perfect working of every joint. If the defects be not in hiB gait, it may exist in his respiratory apparatus, or there may be abnormalities in his circulatory system. And we should not consider any exam- ination where palpable unsoundness has not been found com- plete until the horse has been cooled off. after having been well heated up, and again submitted to an examination in action. Many imperfections are brought out thus which otherwise would escape our observation. Now, what will we look for to constitute unsoundness? As stated, we mil begin at the head, and look for malformations or diseases, employing all our special senses to help ns. You are standing directly in front of the animal and you will note his age, which will display the natural or the artificial incis- ors; if he is a crib-biter; necrosis of the inferior maxilla at the interdental space, or caries of the teeth. Peering into the nostrils, we may find the pathological lesions of acute or chronic inflammation of the Schneiderian membrance; sup- puration of the maxillary sinuses, necrosed bones, the ulcer- ations of glanders, or the petechias of purpura hemorrhagica. Dropping the hand into the intermaxillary space, we feel its bony walls for evidences of osteo-porosis or other diseases or abnormalities, and running along the bottom of the hyoid space our hand may come in contact with the hot and painful fluctuating abscess of rbinoadenitis. or the indurated, nodu- lated adherent swelling of glanders. While stopping a moment here, yoa have an opportunity of getting the move- ment of the pulse as the gloss ■->- facial artery turns around the rami of the inferior maxill. Standing there we will examine very carefally each eye, comparing one with the other, and if our ocular inspection be not absolutely satisfactory the opthalmoscope will be indispensable, especially so if there is suspicion of periodic ophthalmia, noting the chaDges in the lens, the vitreons humor, and the circulation. Mounting to the occiput, one finger will slip into the ear for foreign bodies, or neoplasms and pass back over the poll tor fistula or the cicatrix of a past one. The hand then seizes the larynx in search of aoatomical imperfections, and by a gentle squeeze we test its walls for ossification of the cartil- ages, and, at the same time, will be rewarded by an involu- tary cough, which may reveal much that will assist us in de- termining the philosophy of the lungs and throat. A look at the parotidregion may reveal m irks of setons, cicatriza- tion of evacuated abscesses, or traces of blisters, which would give you the history cf a part larnygitis. Pressure of the finger in the jugular groove will dam the blood in a normal vein, and if the dilatation be bassilated inoharacter we would suspect that our animal had been the subject of repeated bleeding, which may have been necessitated by such an un- wonted affection as bead staggers, or, if dilatation does not take place, our vein may have become obliterated from pre- vious phlebitis. It may be that the traohea is irregular or angular, which might have been produced by fracture of a riugor from the operation of tracheotomy, which we know is often followed by the complication of roariug. It would not be out of place here to feed the animal just enough to deter- mine tbe absence of a jabot, and to see if mastication and de- glutition are performed in a natural manner. The hand and eye pasBiDgcarefully over the withers would convince ns of tbe absence of fistula, cysts, abscess, or dis- eased bone in this region; and keeping on down tbe verte- bral column, find pressing with the ringers 00 arriving at the lumber region we would expeot to see our animal yield gently ns do all horses who are enjoying immunity from reDal affeo- tions or whose spinal bone may have become ossified. A gross inspection of the sides of the chest may show marks of blisters, the rhythm of respiration or the double movement of heaves. While the ear, placed against the thoracis walls, will give the musio of the vesicular murmur, as the air-cells fill in the whole extent of the surface of the lungs. At tbe umbilicus we may find marks of hernia, and at the inguinal opening we look for the complications of caBtration; or if he be a Btallion onr mind would be at rest if we made a rectal exploration and found the internal openings of the canal alike on each side, thus doing away with the possibility of his being subject to intermittent hernia. By scrutinizing the penis, or volva, the tail and the onns, we are then prepared to go into a detailed examination of the extremities. As a general rule, any lame animal is UDsound; and as a rule we will not discuss whether the lameness is acute or chronic. If he is lame at the time we examine him, he is unsound. There are many pathological lesions and struc- tural changes found upon tbe legs of horses which will not interfere with their action, and it is just here that jadgment, reason and experience will stand us in well. It woald be unjust to condemn horses for defects which we known will not interfere with their usefulness, or their perfect perform- ance of the work exacted of them. First we will examine the front legs, and in doing bo we will not be hasty. We will observe his general mode of stand- ing; whether his legs are on a plumb-line, in advanced of it, or behind it; if too wide apart; or the elbows abducted. At the scapnlo-humeral articulation we would look for traces of setons or blisters giving ns the history of a past lameness; and while examining here the hand drawn over the spinatus fos^a and shoulder joint, would discover small tumors from collar-pressure. Possibly we have an atrophy of the muscles of this section, or malformations in the scapular region. The arm will very seldom be found the seat of disease; but at the point of the elbow we find cysts or neoplasms, which are unsightly if not unsound. Arriving now at the forearm and knee joint, we scrutinize more closely to reinforce the opinion formed while viewing him from the Bide, and are careful to note if there is a ten- dency to weak knees, if not absolutely "sprung," and while manipulating this region we mcy find on the inside of the carpal jjint an osseous or fibrous thickening, reminding us that at some time the animal has inflicted speedy cuts or blows, and storing this point away we are careful to note his manner of traveling to see if he has overcome that interfer- ence. Around the front of the knee the hand may feci a cicatrix from broken knee, telling us how, at some time, be had fallen upon them, but not necessarily denoting that he ie a Btumbler. We will find here, too, enlarged bursea, con- stituting a carpal thoroaghpin. We have now descended to the digital region, and along the metacarpals we fi^d spleuts, which are unsoundness in some cases, calling into functional activity the examiner's judgment and knowledge. Ab the back of this region we find the important tendons which bear the whole weight of the anterior twj-thirds of the truDk at oertain times, and are very liable to disease, and should we discover sprains of the tendons, ligaments or sheaths, or indurations from previous inflammations, we kDow that sooner or later they will tive way and the animal will not conform to onr definition of soundness. At the fetlock we will find dilations of tendinous and articu- lar bursea. Much will depend on their dimensions, and it is always policy to direct the attention of the purchaser to them. The region below the fetlock is fraught with many defects, and requires the closest scrutiny and jadgment, for here we find that most serious lesion, ring-bone, the simple presence of which requires an unqualified condemnation. Here, too, we will find on tbe inBide, marks of old or recent interfering, while just above the fetlock on both the inside and outside may be fonnd the small cicitrices of neurotomy; or possibly the new operation may have placed the Bears below the fet- lock. Careful examination of the front foot is one of the most essential points in the examination, and it is best tested by the hoof searching forceps for braises or corns, or weak soles; while with the hand we will examine for side-bones.and having the foot raited from the ground we note if tbe plantar surface is flat or pamiced; if the heels are contracted; if toe or quarter-cracks be present; and oar examioation is nnt com- plete if we have not looked for thrush or oanker. All of these diseases or conditioDB are likely to produce lameless, and onr judgment must be formed according the our know- ledge of their condition when we are making the examina- tion. Passing now to the rear in our detailed examination, we glance at the general position of the animal. From the hip to the thiah on each eide, noting variations in the size of the two memberaj the shape of the hocks, and the obliquity of the fetlocks. Standing behind the animal, with one band on each hip, looking first at the external aDgle ol the ilium on one side, then the other; noting if they are on a level with each other; and at equal distances from tbe sacrum. Here, too, we may find atrophy of the gluteal muscles of one Bide, not an unsoundness of itself, but possibly connected with former lameness. At the coxofemoral joint evidences of counter-irritation having been applied to overcome positive or fancied disease of this region. Passing the hand down the femur, we reach the stifle, and failing to find anythmg abnormal, we proceed to that seat of disBention known as the hock. We will remember just here that a healthy hock con- sists of skin, bone and a few tendons; aoything supeifluoan ie abnormal. Around at the internal and anterior aspect of the region, we may discover a dilation of the synovial mem- brane of the tibiotarsal articulation, constituting the ordinary blood or bog spavin; or the lesion may be of tbe tendinous saok of the tendo-Acbilles, forming a thoroaghpiu. At the posterior surface we will look for exostoses and onrbs. There is a little unanimity of opinion among veterinarians upon the soundness of horses possessing these defeots aB there exists among astronomers as to the distance of tbe furthest fixed Btar. It is, of course, unnecessary -for me to speak of exost- oses on tbe interna) aspect of the hock joint, hs I think tbe profession is a unit in condemning every animal possessing such an addition to his anatomy. Personally, I not only reject an animal when they are present, but will not tolerate the suspicion of snob a condition. There is another thiDg to be carefully watched for, and thut is the presence of string- halt. Whatever tbe pathological lesion may he. it is an unsoundness, and it is sometimeB so slight in Its iocipienoy that we may overlook it. Therefore the first movements of tbe animal in backing out of the stall are of special import- ance to us, and a quiok turn of the animal may produce the symptom where it is latent in tbe forward movements. If cbtonic scratches of the front of the hook is not an unsoundness, it is a great nuisance, and it should be con- demned along with cbronio greasy heels. Below tbe hook we have about the same conditions as met with in the ante- rior extremity, only that interfering is better characterized. Puffy swellings may exist at tbe fetlookB, and the foot should be examined, especially to note if shod for interfering or over reaching. 1890 lit* %xzz&tx arrii j^rismatu 583 THE FARM. Peediner Swine. When a young sow has farrowed and is in condition to feed and care for her pigs, her rations mnst be liberal and of high quality, says James Cheesman in the Farm and Home. The following will be a fair provision for a gilt with a litter of ten pigs, but none too much to keep her in good flesh: Skim-milk, 25 lbs: corn or barley meal, 2 lbs.; bran, lib.; peas and oats ground, 4 l»-8 ; a total of 31 lbs. This will give her about 74 lbs. of dry mutter per day. If there is no skim milk to be had, try the following (in either case care- folly scald and feed in a slop state) three to four times a day: Corn or barley meal, 2 lbs.; bran, 2 lbs ; peas and oats, 2 lbs.; oil meal, 2 lbs.; making 8 lbs. Cnt clover and corn ensilage m»y be fed in the proportion of 2 lbs. of the former moistened, to 6 lbs of the latter, or still better, 1 of clover and 3 of ensilage mixed. These mixtures are inertly suggestive, and not intended to be rigidly adhered 1o, as the market prices of foods will vary mneh in different places. It is very essential that the food of the sow shculd be well prepared to render it soiiable for the young pigd. At 20 or 25 days old they take to eating with their dams, and if skim- milk forms a part of their ration they will begin still earlier Remember that a sow at 12 months old will likely weigh 340 to 360 lbs., and her maintainance and provision for a daily growth of 3 to 4 lbs. in the litter demands liberal feed at this period. Sow's milk is the richest of that of any farm animal, containing from 17 to 18 per cent, of solids; It not only contains double the solids of skim-milk from cows, bat live times as much fat as will be found in Cooley creamer skim- milk, and live and one-half times as much as seperated milk. The mineral matter or bone growers will be one-sixth to one- fifth greater, hence the urgency of full supplies of cut fodder and grain to supply the phosphoric acid and lime. A young sow, when properly fed, provides in her milk a larger amount of dry matter for the growth of her young, thin a riairy cow three times her weight. Professor Manly Miles found by experience that Essex pigs consumed 3£ lbs of milk each per day the first week, and double that amount the second week, if the demands of their growth were properly sapplied. Such facts claim from pig breeders great attention and care- ful observation to enable them to satisfy the requirements of the sow suckling a large litter. No wonder the less observ- ing men fail to rear large litters when iu too many cases they are unable to comprehend the power of early growth in young pig*. There is no greater test of knowledge and sound judgment in the farmer than ability to understand and nro- vide for the wants of plants and animals during the most critical period of early infancy. A gre*t secret of success is centered here, and no amount of food supplied during later growth will compensate for what is lo3t in the first three weeks. The Swine Diseases of the World. The following correspondence, recently passed between M. Jose Benito Perez, one of Cuba's most prominent swine breeders, and Dr. F. S. Billinga of Chicago will, says the Breeder's Gazette, be read with interest. M. Perez has been purchasing some high-class pure-bred pigs from American herds and is naturally solicitous as to the health of the swine of his country. THE INQUIRY PROM 31. PEBLZ. Santa Glasa, Cuba, June 1st, 1S90.— Frank S. Billings, Esq., Chicago, 111. — Dear Sir: As I am the President of the Breeders' Association of the Province of Sta. Clara, and have read in the Breeders' Gazette concerning your swine inocu- lation, I would like (o know all about it, and at the same time rind out if it could be brought to my country, since we suffer greatly from a swine plague, but I do not know if it is the same as the one you have in your country. Now I wit-h you would answer the following questions at your first op- portunity: What sickness does your inoculation prevent? How do you do it? How do we have to treat the sick pigs after inoculation? Please send your circular as soon as possible and let me know what food I must give them when they are inooulaled. Yours truly, Jose Benito Perez. THE REPLY FROM I>R. BILLINGS. M. Jose Benito Perez, Santa Clara, Cuba — My Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of June 1 is at hand. We send you circular to-day. You are at such a distance that according to our experience it would seem futile to endeavor to Bend virus to you as we find it even suffers chaDges in transpor- tation occasionally in this country, if kept too long, and then being fluid we do not kcow that we coold ship it any way; but were we sure what disease you had we would glad- ly try it simply as an experiment. The study of the infectious diseases of swine is still in suoh an embryonic and uncertain condition the world over that it is somewhat difficult to judge of them. To my mind there are at present but two diseases which can really be called plagues or pests. The hog cholera or real swine plague of this country {swine fever of England and swine pest of Europe) is the one really widespread and the true plague, and the other is the rouget, or mal de rouge, of France and Germaoy and some other paris of Europe, but not existing in this country. Then there is the disease known asschweine seuche in Europe, which is neither one of the above, and ac- cording to my present view of the matter consists of two or more distinct diseases, one long known as wild seuche. get- ting its name fiom the fact that it attacks the wild animals — deer, wild hogs, and cattle in Royal preserves, and another a local pen disease; aod I also think the Germans include in the name the real swine plague— our hog chclera. The lost named and rougei can be easily distinguished: 1st. Their germs are very different. 2nd. The rouget is characterized by a copper red color of the skin (which sometimes does not appear until shortly after death), and by its very rapid course and failure of pneu- monia. Hog cholera has a different germ, a very variable course, no distinct lesions, unless you take the disease in hundreds of cases when a general picture will result. Some- times the animals die very quickly, and again linger from twenty to thirty days. There are little patches of redness of the skin, but not coostantly present. Sometimes— and most always when the disease lasts over eight or ten dayF — there is pneumonia, and again it may be absent. Then again there are two varieties of lesions in the large intestine, both of which are not absolutely necessary to the disease, and which are more frequently absent than pneumonia. The one is an nlefration, covered with a dryish yellow friaMe material and varying much in size and amount; the other is a so-called bntton-like lesion, blackish, bluish or whitish in color, hard and generally made up of ringB, as when you drop a pebble into still water. Clinically speaking, this disease sometimes presents diarrbcea, and at others the animals are constipated; sometimes pieces of skin or an ear drop off. All this has made farmers think they had a variety of diseases. There is in this country, in the Eastern portions, a pen disease, due to some germ which develops in filth and may be connected with feeding city refuse, to which our govern- ment has lately given the name of "swine plague," which is manifestly wrong, as the word "plague" means a disease which sweeps over a wide extent of country. I have as yet, after three years' search, been Junable to find it in the West, where I have worked entirely and where hogs are not penned as they are in the East and Europe, and it has not yet been found in England, which is not to be wondered at as they have very few investigators in that country. I am at pres. ent of the opinion that that this disease is included in the diseases named bytheGermans sckweine-seucke (swineplagne) but do not believe it to be even the real swine plague of Germany, which to my mind is either the ivild-seuche, or our hog cholera; though where hogs are penned and fed on house refuse there will be much more of it than in other places. This disease is paid by the Germans to be more of a pneu- monia than anything else, though what it is in this country I am at present unable to say, some autnorities claiming it, as the Germans do, to be a pneumonia only, while others claim there are intestinal ulcerations accompanying it. The trouble is they are trying too hard to find it identical with the German schiceine seuche,, which I am pretty sure is a col- lective name tor several diseases. The wild-seuche generally kills in twenty-four to forty-eight hour.-*, and is characterized by enormous deforming swellings of the body, out of which, when cut oozes a reddish, watery fluid, but if, as occasion- ally happens, the course is prolonged, then pneumonia sets up from riisturbances in the circulation in the lungs. Ulcer- ations have not been reported in the intestines. I have answered your letter the best I can, and would gladly aid you further if you can describe to me the disease you have, but recommend your trying to interest the Gov- ernment Laboratory in Havana in your trouble. If they would invtstigate it, and send me cultures of the germ, per- haps I could aid them in deciding which, if any of the above diseases, afiiictB your hogs. Very respectfnlly yours, F. S. Billings. Sheep Shearing- A few remarks on sheep shearing. The best method of sbeep shearing has been imported from North Cumberland, England, and there it is known as the cullying method. To practice it grasp the sbeep by the wool on near shoulder and off flank and turn him onto his rump; then set him up so that his back rests against the shearer's knees. Now take the shears in the right hand and with the left turn the sheep's head around to the left and clip all the wool from back of head, coming around to Hoe of windpipe in front. This done, continue clipping until all of the right side of the neck has been bared and the wool on the breast opened out clear down to the brisket. Now let the shepherd take the shears in his left hand and the sheep's head in his right. Bend the latter down to the right over the thigh and com- mence shearing from the shoulder left to right, ending at the backbone. When the fore leg has been passed the shears may be taken in the right hand and the wool on the belly re- moved from right to left. Then resume the left hand shear- ing on the ribs as far as can be gone by stooping down with the sheep's head between the legs. When the most of the side has been shorn, the sheep may be laid down on its un- shorn side, the shepherd kneeling on his right knee, with his ankle across the sheep's neck, thus holding the head down. Sweeping the shorn portion of the fleece around behind the sheep, the shearing may be continued until the hind leg is reached. In clipping from right to left over the rump, the shear marks Bhould be made to turn forward into the nick over the tail, following the rounded shape of the hams. The remainder of the belly wool should now be removed, care be taken not to 'njure the scrotum or udder, as the case may be. The tail having been bared the fleece may be roiled out of the way, and the sheep again pliced in a Bitting posi- tion on the shorn side of his rump. The wool on the near side of the body may now be removed with the shears held in the right hand, and each shear mark or rib should join nicely on the spine with the corresponding one previously made in removing the fleece from the other side of the body. — Field and Farm. Veal. French people, or some of them at least, know both how to feed calves for veal, how to cook veal, and how and when to eat it. By a certain process of feeding they produce what is considered a superlative quality of veal in from six to twelve weeks. At the first named period they bring calves np to 200 lbs. and over, and at three months make them weigh over 400 lbs. The average weight under the best man- agement of the veal producing districts of Champagne and Brie will reach 350 lbs., and bring from £9 to £15. It would, indeed, be difficult to find similar rapid increase of weight in as short a time in any other country. This is their meth- od of feeding. They feed nothing but milk, beginning with six quarts a day for a few days. The calves are muzzled to prevent the possibility of their eating anything else but the milk. The calves are kept in warm, darkened stables. The milk is gradually increa=ed to what the calves will take with avidity After six or eight weeks, to make the meat white and inviting, from two to six eggs are given in the milk The color of the meat may be ascertained during the life of the calf by looking at the color of (he blood vessels of the mucous membrane of the eyes. If of a delicate light pink, the veal will be clear and white; but if of a dark color, the meat will be of a reddish-yellow color. The meat of calves slaughtered too young will be dark red, and feel slimy when handled. The meat of strangled calves is of a bluish red color. WashiDff Butter. Washing butter at too low a temperature will, says Profes- sor BobertBon, carry off the volatile oils. He recommends washing in a granulated state, with water at from 50 deg. to bo deg. A lower temperature leaves too much water in the butter, and injures it. Salt butter by mixing the salt in the butter when in granulated state. A temperature of 55 deg is the best to work butter. Butter should be worked as little as possible. It can be injured by over-working. Churn the cream at as low a temperature as possible. Sweet and sour cream will not work together. By churning sweet cream, twenty-three per cent, goes into the Gutter milk. Cream from open Betting of milk does not require so much time for ripening as that of submerged milk. Cream shoold be stirred frequently while ripening. High Prices for Dairy Products Necessary to Success- Success in dairying does not so much depend on high prices of butter and cheese as it does on cheapening the production of feed. A rich soil ordinarily produces large crops; large crops provide for an increased number of cows. An increased number of well kept cows furnish the means to buy the nilrogenons feed to mix with the cheaD food pro- duced on the farm, and theieby make it profitable. It might as well be admitted now that no man is Bmart enough to make money keeping a summer diary on pastore grass alone in summer, and mostly on meadow hay in winter. These methods belong to a past age, cheap laud, aod are slowly passing away, and the new and improved system of dairving taking its place, substituting intelligence in place ot ignor- ance, profit in place of loss. The combination essential to successful dairying will con- sist in enriching the soil with nitrogenous food taken through the cow, and the manure taken from the stable daily and spread upon the plowed land, instead of piling it ia the yard to remain until the next autum, and then plowed under eight inches deep to wait until the resurrection tor any re- turns. A'so to change the combination of cow feed from the expensive pasture grass, meadow hay and carbonaceous corn meal, to cheaper soiliog, silace and nitrogenous bran, oil or oat meal, and by so doing make it possible to extend the milking season Irom eight months to eltven months of the year. Also to chaDge the practice of producing the greatest flow of milk when it sells for 50 to 60 cents per cwt. to such time as it Bells for $1 30 to $1.60 per cwt., with no increased cost of production. Arso in removing out the antiquated notion that any beef cow Is a dairy cow any more than the dump cart makes the best snlky, because you can use it on the race track one day and haul manure in it the next. Alto exchange the cold stable, ice water and a hunt in the frozen corn fields for the noon meal, to a warm stable, warm water, remaining most of the time iu the barn to chew the end of comfort. The modern improvement in dairy farming stated ■jbove is no untried theory, but has been worked out in prac- tice by hundreds of living witnesses that have come up through great tribulations, from the old methods, into a suc- cessful practice of the new.— Hoard's Dairyman- Where the Cattle Are. "There are simply no native Bteers east of the Mississippi river," was the remarks gentleman made to the writer the other day af'er an extended trip in that country. The same is tine of Iowa, Nebraska and part of Kansas if we include those now in the feed lots eating corn preparatory for the shambles. There are many of these, but we doubt if more than common this time of the year. The question then presents itself, where will the steers come from that are to take the places made vacant when these ripened cattle are gone? Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and the territories west cannot supply 200,000 this year, if all shipments are sold for feeders. This is less than 30 days' supply for the Chicago market alone. Arizona, New Mexico and the Indian territory, and Texas are the only resources. Kansas has ab=orbed 150,000 from these countries already this spring to feed on grass and grain, designing to market them for Christmas or into the spring and summer of 1891. Those sections still have a few steers unsold, but if the local pnpers tell the truth the number is comparatively small. It is universally admitted in Texas that the steer crop is smaller than it was a jear ago — there has been a cutting down year by year since 1887. In the southwest is our main reliance for beef steers; if the number there is smaller than the past; if the corn states are out of steer cattle does it not begin to look as if the time had come when stockmen and farmers should husband their cat- tle resources? The supply will continue liberal until the steers now eat- ing corn are disposed off and under a decline in the foreign markets prices may stiffen slowly. But when these are gone, then what? Prices must advance even without a foreign de- mand, for the simple and very good reason that the fattened pens can only be filled up to the present standard of numbers by the purchase of yeailings. Make money by feeding to ripeness the cattle you now have in your lots if it takes until March, 1891. Tbe future is bright with hope, notwithstand- ing a break in the foreign market. Hold on. — Cheyenne Live Journal. A deputation from Scotland visited Henry Chaplin, minis- ter of agriculture, and asked him to modify the restrictions against the importation of American cattle. The chief argu- ments in support of their request was scarcity of store cattle in Great Britain and the absence of pneumonia in America. Chaplin said that as the bulk of the farmers in Great Britain favored the restriction, he was unable to hold out the slight- est hope of any modification of the present regulations govern- ing the importation of cattle, even if the cattle in America were entirely free from disease. At the annual meeting of the American South-Down Asso- ciation of Springfield III. ,May 29tb, it was resolved to otter special prizes this year at tbe Illinois State Fair, the Detroit Exposition, and tbe Chicago Fat Stock Show; and officers were elected as follows: President — J.

The American product is discriminated against by vexatious and unneces- sary inspection ou tbe pretense that disease may be lurking in the meat. Tbe working classes in the city are indignant over the discrimination, which they regard as intended for the benefit of the peasant farmers of France at tbe expense of consumers in tbe industrial centers. M. Delayoe, who was the French representative in the Berlin conference for the benefit of the workingmen. expresses himself very pltinly against the policy of excluding foreign meat, and 6 that it i° one of the grievances that is likely toe;: the Socialists by promoting agitation. However, in pect France is not alone, and Germany is preparing to i the severity of the laws which are supposed t< public health, but really protect tbe farmers and cat- . era. 584 %hz Qxzz&zx tm& M> pottsxtmn July 5 TURF AND TRACK Prootor Knott is in Dr. Shepard's infirmary.

Mr. Hun- ter's old colors are now used by his eon. Huntly and Pruit's Red Boy is being trained on the Helena raoe track. Red Boy is now fourteen years old and is the Bire of several well known race horses among them, being Abi the long tailed mare which raced in Col. Thornton's colors last season. Racine broke the mile record laBt Saturday at Washington Park, Chicago, osrrying 107 lbs. The three year old ran the mile in 1;39-V, and did it with Buch ease that he woold evi- dently have'had a big chance in some of the three year old Btakes if he had been left in. The District, fair held in lone last year proved so success- ful that the Directors have again decided to be thorough- bred, and the management may rest assured that they will have plenty of entries for everyone has a good word for them and all the running horse men will be there. Mr. Belmont has announced his intention of disposing of all his yearlingB in the paddock at Monmouth Park on Tues- day, July 7thT He wilt retire from the active scenes of the tnrf for a period, but it is probable that his devotion to rac- ing will induce him to make the period as short as possible. St. Simon was the sire of the first, second and fourth in the Epsom Oaks, which performance makes him rank almost equal to the famous Birdoatcher who sired Songstress, Bird on the Wiug and Gossamer, who were one, two and three in 1852 and Stockwell,who96 sons Lord Lyon, Savernake and Rustic ran one, two, three in the Derby of 1866. Riviera, one of the moat promising three year olds in Eng- land, a winner of ten races out of thirteen as a two year old, fell down while at exercise and broke her back. Riviera was a royally bred fillv, being a full sister to Seabreeze by Isono- my out of St. Marguerite by Hermit ont of Devotion by Stoekwell. She was the property of the Dowager Duchess of Montrose. Four horses belonging to the Australian sportsman, Mr. James White, have reached England, and been placed under the charge of Matthew Dawson, at Newmarket'. Three are two year olds, by name Nepean, Weotworth, and Mods. Meg. well engaged next year; while the other is a yearling. Mr. White's pluck and enterprise deserve reward, even if he is not fortunate enough to secure it. When Sainfoin was sold one of the conditions was that he should not leave Porter's stable until after the Derby. A horse cannot be trained at Porter's says the 'Man of the World' without the permission of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Westminster. This permission may possioly be given in the case of Sainfoin but the original intention was that he should leave the stable directly after the race. John Porter, the owner — until a while previous to the Derby— of Sainfoin had £10,000 to £100 in Sir John Will- ougby'a Yearling Book, abont Orwell who finished third. Dr. Sargent and Percy Williams purchased two yearlings at the Haggin sale, a Hlly by Darebin out of Glendora, for $850, and the filly by Sir Modred out of Shasta for §1,000. Mambrino Abdallah, a bay stallion 17 years old, by Mam- brino Patchen-Lady Agnes, by R^chnaud's Abdallah, died last week at Williamstown. Ky. He was owned by George Yanoey. The Hardwicke stakes lj miles at Ascat was won by Gen. Byrne's Amphion by Speculum or Rosebery out of Suicide, Sainfoin (the winner of the Derby) finished second and Sure- foot third. A Newmarket correspondent on June 12th says Donovan has not been seen out sinoe he pulled up lame last Saturday. His lameness is said to be causad by his foot being bruised on a stone. Dowd Williams is training the Santa Anita Stable in ChicHgo duriDg Bob Campbell's trip to New York with Sino- loa II. It is just possible that Campbell will leave Mr. Bald- win's employ. By Holly says that St. Patrick, the Montana pacer, who arrived last week, is in good trim, but will want a good deal of time before he is ready for a race as he has bad a big sea- son in the stud. The Duke of Portlaod did not draw both Surefoot and Bainfoin in the Turf Club but drew Surefoot and agreed to divide with Lord Cadogan who had drawn Sainfoin. The Duke was in luck. Senator Hearst's speedy paoer HomeBtake, is showing all hie old speed, but it is doubtful whether he will Htand a hard preparation; if he does, ho will have a big chance among the free for all pacers. Al Farrow 123 and Ed McGinDis 110 ran unplaced to Ham- let 103 in a mile and a quarter at Washington Park. Ham let is by Regent out of Nannie Holton and was formerly owned by B. C. Holly. Marvin aDd Hickok were among the spectators At the Chicago Derby. Both had gone over from Terra Haute for » couple of days. Hickok while in Chicago consulted an oculist, the son baviug hlightly affected his eyeB. Richmond Jr. started in the 2:22 class at Charter Oak Park, Hartford on the 24th of June, he was driveu by Jas Goldsmith who is training him, but could only finish fourth with four starters, time, 2:251, 2:2U, 2:23, 2:23. W. F, Freeman, the courteous Willows' secretary, says thst there is every indication of a gra. d success at the forthcom- ing meeting. He bat. received innnmerpble inquiries from horse owners wishing to participate in the sport. Quite a number of thoroughbreds will be found on the circuit, despite the fact that Mbbsts. Baldwin, Haggin, Wil- liams, Rose, Smith, Kelly & Samuels, Hazlitt and others are in the East. Among the owners who will be represented on the CoaBt Circuit are Palo Alto, Percy Williams, W. Boots, Matt Storn, Owens Bros , H. D. Miller, L. U. Ship- pee, H. I. Thornton, W. Appleby, H. Howard, P. Sieben- thaler, and F. De Poyster. The National Association of Paoific Horse Breeders held its first annual meeting at Cincinnati, O., on June 6th. About forty delegates were present and a permanent associa- tion will be formed to keep an authentio register of pedigees of pacing horses. There officers elected were: President F. B. Buford, Boford, Ky; secretary, J. W. Neal, Indiana- polis, registrar, T. C. Parsons; treasurer, F. G. Germain, Scotland, Pa. The Stewards at Newmarket recently decided not to permit a competitor to change his position, on the grounds that he would only try when on the off side instead of the near side of hia opponents. Jousiffe wished Surefoot to have the out- side position in the Derby but the precedent was against him and Surefoot who is said to be meaner than HadeB had to take his position fourth at the start — as a matter of faot he finished fourth. The £2,000 stakes at Milan early last month was won by Fitz Hampton, by Hampton out of Lady Berks, who was bought for 400 guineas by the Chevalier Scheibler at the Bale of the Queen's yearlings in 1888. Several French horses ran, and it was fully expected that one of them would win, and the field also included three animals recently brought from England, one of them being Merry Monk, for whom Lord Dudley gave 2,250 guineas as a yearling, but he won nothing last season except a private sweepstakes It is interesting to note that the winner of the Two Thousand in England has succumbed in the Derby to a horse he had beaten in the Two Thousand on eight occasions, viz.— in 1861, 1870, 1872, 1873. 1877, 1881, 1883, and 1889. The favorite has won thirty-nine times, run second twenty- four times, third fifteen times, and unplaced thirty-two times since 1780. It is also remarkable that the only occasion on which the first favorite has won the Derby three years in succession was in 1788, 1789. and 1790. A curious incident happened during the race for the Man- chester Cup. In making the turn at the seven-furlong post Bert, who was amongst the leading lot at the time, ran wide and lost his place. In being straightened he cannoned against Oxeye, who was knocked onto Ringmaster, where- upon the Australian bred horse seized Oxeye by the ear, and the two ran in this position for some distance before Ring- master released Mr. Glover's horse, whose ear wis badly torn and his chance destroyed by the savage attack on the part of the Australian horse. A dairyman in Eogland has been giving his horses butter- milk to drink instead of water. Eaoh horse gets his ration regularly throughout the year and the system having been continued for eighteen monthB, and found to answer in a most satisfactory manner, is not likely to be abondoned. There can be no doubt, a contemporary remarkB, that the valuable solids in butter-milk du the unimal a great deal of good, and prevent the necessity of such large corn-feeding as some praotice, while thero is at all times a healthful smaok about the article which leadB many people to drink it. The Salinas Journal of the 27th, says: "Erwin Davis, the famous old trotting Btallion by Sbenandoah, died in tbie oity yesterday morning. He was the property of Jas. H. Harris, and had reached the advanced age of 26 years. He was the sire of two in the 2:30 list, and left a number of his get in this vallev that are uniformly good roadsters and fine 'all round servioe' bo's"*." Erwin Davis 5558, foaled L9G5 by Skenandoah !)26— dam Lost Diamond said to ha hy Hauibletonian (Harriw') — was the Hire of Carrie F., 2:275, Ed, 2;26, and the dam of Florence R . 2:26$. The members of the Irish betting ring have passed the fol- lowing resolution, which will be the rule of "ready money merchants" in Ireland: — "That all ready money or ticket bets shall be paid on the horse that comes in first, unless an objection is lodged against the winner within one quarter of an hour after the race is decided. Any subsequent objec- tions cannot be entertained." Some of the English layers tried a regulation of a similar description nearly eighteen monthB ago. Mr. Joseph OBborne,who, under the signature of "Beacon, \ has for many years been known as the most able English writer on the subject of the racehorse, is at present suffering from a severe attack of bronchitis. Odo of his most valua- ble contributions to tnrf literature, the "Horsebreeder's Handbook," has been enlarged by the addition of twenty new sires, with an obituary of all the celebrated stailioos since 1723, and further embellished with fine portraits of St. Simon and Bendigo. A member of the English Jockey Club, speaking against short races, said, amoDg other things: l,It was evident to all members of the clnb that ODe effect of the extraordinary increase in short races had been to seriously interfere with the capabilities of our jockeys, but anyone who bad paid attention to the start for such races would have noticed that horses' tempers were sorely tried there, and they would also have noticed that a large proportion of short races were won more at the start than at the finish." William Day's article in the Fortnightly, favorable to the introduction of the totalisator on to English raoeoourses, has been freely criticised in Australia, where the instrument is in use in some parts of the colony. The Australasian, in concluding a leading article on the subject, says; "Racing is a sport that can stand up against many abuses, bot there can be little doubt that the grand old sport would be im- proved even in Victoria, where Mr. Day's denuociations do not apply in their entirely, by the introduction of the total- isator." Father William Daly has been getting quite a surfeit of his own game recently in the matter of running up the winner of selling races, and it is generally believed that were it not for family pride's sake the sage of Hartford would gladly cry quits with the stroDg combination that has been formed against him. Of course it is a hard matter on general princi- ples to beat a maD at his own game, but Messrs. Abe Gallon, Charles Sattler and one or two others appear to have devined the secret, and the owner of all the faBt selling platers might do worse than to retire gracefully. Mr. Rose, the California millionaire, one of the recent con- verts to the running turf, is, sayB the Sporting World, one of the most enthusiastic owners of the present day. He works just as hard as if he was training himself, and person- ally lookB aftrr the hiring of jockeys, etc Col. Washburn is another enthusiast, and it is almost amusing to see him bustliDg around the paddock as if his bread and butter de- pended upon it. "I had heart trouble," said he, "and I bought a few colts to occupy my attenlion. Now, sir. I don't know that I have a heart. Oh, I tell you, if you want to be a healthy man get a few colts and fuss about with' them as I do. Every humane per60D, says a contemporary, will sympa- thise with the objects sought to be accomplished by the in- stitution of a system of registration of farriers throughout the kingdom. It is notorious that Bhoeing Bmiths very often, by ignorance or carelessness, occasion the animals they have to deal with a good deal of suffering, and not infrequently lame them. It was stated at a meeting held ia London that large numbers of horses are incapacitated from work owiDg to the ignorance of the smiths who undertake to shoe them. The Farriers' Company have recently made a move in the direction of bringing about an improved state of things, wbich promises to be productive of good results. The hold the pari-muteul system of betting has gained on the inhabitants of Paris has led to the growth of a large num- ber of betting agencies conducted in a manner not altogether free from dishonesty and common welching. The small shopkeeper?, whose traie is being ruined by the "universal providers," run into these agencies whenever they have a tew francs to bet with, in the hope of m tking ap for business losses, and offices where honest business is done are not the most numerous. At the Bame time, M. Constans, the Min- ister of the Interior, proposes to allow some of the racing companies Btill to carry on the system if tbey will give goar- antees for their proper management The result of this further experiment will be watched with considerable curios- ity. Rover did not prove a very cheap horse to W. C. Daly. A1J though he won the first time he started, the N. Y. Times says: Rover was given out as the particularly good thing for the last race, a run of a mile and a sixteenth on the turf, for which Tattler, on his form, was naturally the favorite. The race was entirely one between the pair, and Rover won it by a length. Tattler, who finished Becond, being four lengths in front of Cast Steel, who led the rear bunch home. R^ver is a recent purchase of your U^cle William Daly from Million- aire Rose of California, aDd Uncle Bill had entered him to be sold for $500, so as to get light weight upoD him. After the race "Abe" Garson aud Charlie Sattler both began bidding for the horse and ran him up to $1,200. A further bid of $5 saved him for Daly. The net value of the purse to Daly was but $585, so that it really cost him $120 to win it, aud he smarted and swore about being given a dose of his own medi- cine. A oaBe somewhat interesting to ready money layers and backers in England was tried at the Melbourne County Court at the beginning of April. The plaintiff was a book- maker of the name of Webb, and the defendant Ellin a punter, and the dispute arose over a race won by a pony called Wallace. Aa the pony had been wrongly described as a horBe instead of as a gelding he was disqualified, aud the stakes were awarded to Mamma, who came in second. Webb, who wan betting on the race, laid Ellin 50 to 5 against the winner Wallace, and as it was a cobIi wager Ellin drew his moDey immediately after the race. When Wallnce waa dis- qualified Webb asked for the return of hia money, but Ellin refused to disgorge; hence the action. Webb sought to re- cover £50 from Ellin on the ground that be had paid the money to Ellin under a mistake of fact. The judge how- ever, held that there was no mistake of fact, beoause at the time \V«bb paid the money the objection to Wallace had not been lodyed, and on Webb's part it whs a voluntary pay- ment. Ho therefore returned a verdict in favor of Ellin, but so satisfied wbs he that Webb was morally entitled to the money that he ordered Ellin to pay his own costs. 1890 'Qhe fpuette and J^oxtsttmtt. 585 Judge Rider, 2;2S|, is a four-} ear-old son of Billy Wilke^ by Harry Wilkes, 2:13*. It is donbtfal if Aubine will be started in any of tbe stake races in single harness. Jas. E. Kelly, the champion of the betting ring, won $10,000 on Sal vat or in the match. Early Bird, the four-year-old son of Jay Bird, is expected to trot in 2;20 this season. Electryon and Pure "Wilkes have been taken to Mystic, July 1st, and fitted up for a record. Grimes received $100 from the owner of Jersey Wilkes for putting Hussar into the 2:30 list. A foal ont of Urbanna Belle, 2-.20J, and her next produce by Gov. Stanford, has been sold for $2,000. Two blooded stallions ou the ferm of Captain Prester, of Aurora, Ind., recently fought to the death. A Kansas mare was bred to a horse and afterwards to a jack and foaled twins, a mule and a horse colt. On June 18th, Jou Jou, by Monday, out of Plaything, dropped dead at the conclusion of the laat race at "West Side, Chicago. Pittsburg re-joins the grand circuit this year. Trotting was discontinued there because legislation was made inimi- cal to pool selling. The Breeze Hill Stock Farm Company has been incorpora- ted under the laws of the State of New York with a capital stock of $100,000. C. H Nelson expects to put three of the get of Dictator Chief in the 2:30 list fall. He has a two year old that he that be thinks can go in 2:20. Dan Dennison is in Tacoma, *W. T., with Prince's First, Hotspnr, Dave Douglass and Mohawk. He will probably return in time for the State Fair. Pacers will be very speedy this year, and plenty of them. The boFB pacer will earn plenty of money, but it will be a hard luesel before he gets through. It is not so many years since a band of poisoners went down the grand circuit, and it is a widely known fact that Barns was got at in 1874 at Hampden Park, Springfield, At a meeting of the English Jockey Club held on June 11th it was voted that every horde be considered as having started which is under the starter's orders when the advance flag has been raised. Mr. Leopold Rothschild, the well known racing member of the family, said at a recent meeting of the English Jookey Club that there were 500 less horses running in England than twenty years ago. It is now deoided that Gertrude Russell, 2:23£, sister to Palo Alto, 2:12}, will be bred to Jersey Wikes. The mare who was expected to lower a few records at 2, 5 and 10 miles went wrong and being lime was left at "Warren Park. One feature in Club life in London is the Annual Derby Sweep. The Turf Club Sweep was won by Lord Cadogan, The Garrick by Henry Irving, the well known actor, while the Devonshire was won by Edmond Routledge who drew the winner last year. In the Press Gallery in the House Df Commons, G. Bussey, Chief of the Hansard Corps drew the winner. Mr. Bussey is said to have drawn the winner on 17 occasions. It is evident that Bergen holds first place in public favor, so far as tbe jockeys of the present day are concerned. When his name is posted on the telegraph board to ride, the messenger boys who make regular laps from the stand to the betting ring find that the name of his mount will be written on their order slips, regardless of its merits, a grea'er num- ber of times than any three horses in the race combined. When Bergen passes the grand stand on his way to the starting post, he is invariably noticed and applauded. Each of the old time riders have had their day when they held 6rst place in public favor, and this season Bergen is having bis turn. Backers seldom compiain when he fails to land the money for them, as they show a willingness to overlook any mistakes which he may occasionally make. In view of the first great German Horse Show, which is being held at Berlin, it may be inieresting to record the fact, «aya the "Telegraph," that great numbers of Teutonio steeds are sent over annually to the farms *ound London, After having been fed on English provender and shod by English smiths, they are returned to the Fatheiland and sold as "English" hunters. The Agricultural Society of Hanover is about to despatch a commission to England to select 40 Shire colts and fillies (yearlings and two years old) out of the principal studs for the members, as Shire horses are now in grea t demand in this part of North Germany. "Did you back dot colt, Jake?" shouted an excited German who stood on tbe lawn after the first race at SheepBhead yes- terday to a friend in the stand. "No, "William, I did not." "Well, dit your wife back him, Jake?" "No." "Ah, mine gracious, it was the surest way to get money to back colts like dot." A little later in the day, however, our friend wended his way home sadly. "How did you quit them?" asked a fellow passenger on the train. "I don't know codings about dem," murmured he plain- tively. "Dey wbb like Jack's in de boxes. Just when you tinks you have 'em, why den jou haven't." The bay gelding Oro by Norfolk out of Golden Gate, after winning a selling race at Kanpai City was knocked down "to Scoggan Bros, for $1200 ($200 over the entered price). Ed Corrigan subsequently purchased the gelding at an advance on $1200. When Sainfoin went to Ep=iom to run for the Derby he was stabled at Bob I'Anson's, and was led out for the fray by Mrs. I'inson. Five Darby candidates have been led out by Mrs. I'Anson at different times, and only one has been beaten, and in previous years there was no talk of bypnot- zing. The well known stallion Kingfisher, died last Tuesday in Kentucky. Kingfisher was foaled in 1867; by Lexington, out of imported Eltham Lass by Kingston out of a daughter of PyrrhuB the First; he was the property of Mr. Belmott and besides being a good race horBe was the sire of several good performers. 'The Sinner' by Barabbas out of a daughter of Windisch" gratz died last month. He never recovered from the effects of bis faU in the Monmouth Hunter Steeplechase at Sandoin last April. The Sinner in his best day could beat all tbe Saints — Galmier thrown in, in a race for hunters and was a leviathan among runners, A rumor was going the rounds at the track yesterday that the Jockey Club would abandon the matinees after Saturday. Since tbe regular meeting the attendance has been very light, and the management has not taken in enough to pay the purses. The rumor was corroborated by the fact that the superintendent notified George Bennett, who was putting up fixtures preparatory to selling pools on Chicago and East- ern races, to hold off. Bight on the heels of the above comes another rumor that Dan Honig would lease the track and continue the matinees all summer. To a Bepublic man Mr. Honig Btated that he had not seen President Green or any of the Jockey Club people with reference to the leasing of the track, but that he was seriously contemplating doing so, as it was reported they would quit. It is probable that he will call on President Green shortly for the purpose of talking the matter over and if satisfactory arrangements can be made the matinees will be continued without intermission. The mile dash at Salt Lake on the Gpening day was won by Lew Carlisle, Joe Hoge second, Svmpathe tic's Last third, time 1;47. On the third day Joe Hoge won the six furlong Scramble in 1:20. Joe Hoge was sold last January by Col. Thornton to'Mr. Skagg and ran in the latter gentleman'* name, he is by Joe Hooker ont of Viola B. Sir George Chetwynd has published a long letter on the subject of Lord March's proposals for the lengthening of the distances of races. The Sporting Chronicle says: He opposes the suggestions of the Jockey Club stewards. He opposes the suggestions, "That there are many horses that get five furlongs with brillianoy now who could be trained to win raceB at a mile." "The Duke of Beaufort," continues Sir George, "says lightly that his experience is that stajiog pow- ers are born in a horse, and that a horse cannot be made to stay by training, and that the speed of a bois^ would be destroyed by training him for long races." "It is a great pity," he adds, "that a racing club cannot be formed to con- sist entirely of owneis of horses. Then, when the Jockey Club propose important alterations in their rules, a meeting of owners could be held to discuss their projects, and the result might be forwarded to the Stewards, who would thus at a glance be able to tell the viewB of owners, which now and again might be of help to them in their decisions. Silver Spray, American Wilkes, Claud Baseett, Cohannet, Granite State. Athenian, Sinclair, George Wilkes Jr., J.J. Connelly, William Tell, Archie Comstock, Tborndale Echo, Lancer Northcote, Sultana, Pembrook, Simmocolon and Pam- lico were exhibited at the stallion show at Mystio Park laat week in connection with the races held there. The correspondent of the Chicago Horseman is evidently "a little off" when he says that Kacine had never been heard of until the spriug meeting of the Blood Horse meeting at San Francisco in 1889, when he won the California Stakes. Racine won two races at San Jose a few weeks previous to the Blood Hotb3, running five furlongs in 1:02* and six fur- longs in 1:16}, without being pressed. "Dan Mace bad a peonliar experience with the bay geld- ing Sensation, 2:22£" writes ''Veritas" in the Horseman. "After a deal of trouble Dan got him going level by using an old-fashioned leathern pocket weighted with lead distributed ail around the foot, instead of a concentrated metal toe- weight as now in ^ogue. For a heat or two Sensation was trotted with this attachment, and then after a bit Dan would remove the weight and pnt on an ordinary strap in its place buckled up pretty tight, and the old gelding, fooled by th's, would Bqnare away just as if he had on his weights. But started withou t them in the first place he would shuffle, pace, mix, roll and go all manner of gaits." The report of the Boyal Commission on horse-breeding presented to the English Parlament a few weeks ago is said to be a very bulky document, for though the report itself does not cover more than four pages, it is followed by the whole of the evidence which the Boyal Commissioners took last autumn, and as the 32 witnesses comprised such shin- ing lights as the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Portsmouth, Col- onel "Jack" Thompson, Mr. John Usher, Captain Fife, Mat- thew Dawson, John Porter, Geoerals Ravenhill and Thorn- hill, and Lord Harrington, it need hardly be said that such evidence will be read with tho deepest interest by all who are ooncerned in horse-breeding All of the witnesses were agreed as to the good effect which the system of awarding premiums to thoroughbred sires suitable for the getting of hunters and other half-bred stock was produoing, and, for- tified with this oonsenBus of opinion, the Boyal Commission- ers have asked the Government to increase tbe grant in aid, so that they may work npon a rather larger scale. Queensland has says the Manchester Sporting Chronicle, long been the home of turf scandals, and the one I am about to refer to is not a jot worse than some others that have come to light now and again. This was in a selling plate at Brisbane, in connection with the Queensland Turf Club, the leading racing institution in the northern colony. A couple of horses performed in such a barefaced manner that the Btewards could not for shame's sake withhold Borne sort of an inquiry, but nothing came of it. The general body of the members, however, were determined not to let the matter drop, and the result was a special general meeting, at which a vote of cenBiire on the two stewards who adjudicated was carried by a large majority. They were alBO oallel upon to produce tbe'miuutes of the evidence heard before them, but declined to do bo. "When, however, the minute book was procured it was discovered that the leaves containing the evidence of the inquiry had been cut out. To wind up with one of the stewards has resigned, but tbe other brazeDS it out. The Queensland papers, it is pleasing to say, have spoken their mind freely on this shady piece of business. Thomas French "Wallace, one of the oldest and most respected men in the west end of London, died a short while ago. He wag one of the old sohool, born in ISIS. The Field Bays: "Never was there consigned to his last long home a straighter, more honorable and kinder-hearted man." He was buried in that Campo Santo of racing men, Kensal Green; near him rest tbe ashes of General An3on, Admiral Rous, George Payne, The Marquis of Hastings, and many others. Speaking of the accident that had befallen the beautiful mare Kiviera, the Pink TJn says: Although she was vanned away from the exercise ground, and immediately subjected to all that veterinary skill and science could prescribe by the eminent practitioner. Mr. Barrow, small hopeB were indulged of saving her for stnd purposes, while it was at once seen that her racing.career was at an end. Paralysis supervened an injury to the spine, and all hope having been abandoned, the "Iriendly bullet" was brought into requisition on Mon- day, when the daughter of Isonomy and St. Marguerite was freed from her sufferings. A winn r of something approach- ing £13,000 in stakes as a two year old, Kiviera might have been sold at about Ascot time for the enormouB sum of £20,- 000 had Mr. Milner cared to accept the offer; but, like Chevalier Giuestrelli, who refused a similarly tempting bait in respect of Signorina who, it may be feared, may, after all, fail to realize her marvellous two year old promise, for the latest reports from Newmarket are unfortunately not too flat- tering concerning St. Simon's peerlsss daughter. Much sympathy is felt for all concerned in the untimely fate of Riviera in the racing world, and it can only be hoped that a real flyer may be found in the Chesterfield House team wor- thy to take the place of the bonny bay mare deceased. "The other day." says Mr. Labouchere, the well known proprietor of Truth, "I received the prospectus of a National Anti-Gambling League, accompanied by a form of pledge for my signature. I do not know to whose interest in my welfare I am indebted for this attention, but I strongly re- sent his benevolent interference, and 60 I take it will most persons similarly favored. Shortly after this there reached me a pamphlet, entitled 'A Plea fcr a New Crusade,' by a Reverend C. F. Aked. The crusade pleaded for is a crusade against 'betting and gambling,' which the author thinks is to be accomplished by 'prohibiting the pnblication in any journal or newspaper of intelligence of race meetings.' If this gentleman and his associates had in mind a crusade against the speculative spirit which permeates the commer- cial system of the present day, and seriously injures legiti- mate trade and industry, this aim wonld be well meaning and useful, though chimerical. The National Anti-Gambling League, however, proposes no interference with commercial speculation as a means of livelihood. It only concerns it- self with those forms of speculation which are pursued for private amusement, and which, unless indulged to excess, as any amusement may be, are not open to rational objection. I, therefore, regard the National Anti-Gambling League as another impertinence of too exuberant virtue." One of the shrewdest bettors at the Eastern tracks this year is a young Australian, a devoted admirer of Sir Modred, wnich he declares most emphatically was the greatest, grand- est, noblest racehorse the world ever saw. His eulogistio praise of this horse extends even to its descendants, including the unfortunate Tournament. He still believes that Tour- nament, properly trained and ridden with force, skill and determination, could give Burlington five pounds and a beating at any distance, at any weights and under any con* ditions. But that has nothing to do with the Bobject in hand. Concerning hia system of betting, which ha3 been highly buc- cessfal, he Bays: "I go on tbe theory that all races are run honestly. Of course I know that as a matter of fact they are not. I know there is fraud, but I know also that there is far les3 of it than people imagine. If I were continually looking for it my judgment would become so warped as to render me utterly incapable of picking a winner. I should lose all idea of public form. I speak from experience, as I have been backing horses for ten years in Eogland, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand and America. I am not a heavy bettor. The bookmakers do not wipe off their slates when they see me coming, yet many of them cannot help knowing that I am a little ahead of the game. I invariably back what I think is the best horse in the race, regardless of the thousand and one paddock rumors that fly around to knock men off their balance. If I were to listen to half the rumors set afloat for one purpose or another lam sure I should go crazy" David Gideon is a conspicuous example of the waiting sort, says a clever Eastern turf writer. He can live ten days or two weekB without making a bet. Mike Dwyer with all hiB hard horse senae and judgment couldn't do that. He would die of ennui. Phil might. Bot then Phil is a rare philoso- pher. John Kelly ass rts that he has quit betting, bat bis "How 'bout it?" is still heard in the land. Ee is tbe willing recipient of more information than any ten men that go a-racing. He usually gets a tip on every horse that starts, but never was known to back any brute that stood at a bet- ter price than 2 to 1 on. Mr. Kelly deark loves, that is, he once dearly loved, to put up ?I 000 to win $200. Yon can not pull him on a 10 to 1 chance with a log chain. His fa- vorite system of betting is to play a favorite one-two three. He would like to play it one-two-six. Mr. Kelly is a victim — a viotim of popular affeotion. Whenever an owner or trainer has a "good thing" he must let the victim know it, and the viotim is forced to suffer from an embarrassment of riches. Henry Clay Ditmas, who is reported to have won $100,000 last year, made a large part of his money by place betting. He invariably backs hia horses three ways — itraight, place and one two-three, usually investing enough one-two-three to save his other bets. "Dit," who is one of tbe best fellows in tbe world, has not been as lucky this year as formerly. He seldom bets less than $1,000 when be has a "good thing," and has nerve enongb to put up $ 10,000. Moore, of Brook- lyn, the young man known to tbe racing world two years ago bb the "Ghost," is at it again, after a year's retirement. He is another of the patient sort. And he "salts down" bis winnings in real estate, so that tbe ring cannot get them back. The "Ghost" is a very wise young man. "Pittsburg Phil" is still plunging away, though Binoe he has turned bookmaker no notice is taken of him. 'Luce" Appleby was wrong on Sallie McClelland both times, but he rarely makes a mistake when Tristan starts. Twice or three times this year he and Tristan have made hie brethren of tbe ring very sick. His luck of late haa not been phenomenal, more's the pity, aa he is much liked. He i9 a good loser, but would rather win. Still, when he loaea, his book wins, si. right. J. E. McDonald, M. J. Corbett and Mahony plungers of the ring. Throw in David Johnson for measure. Jones is said to have won $15,000 on 1 Bellwood the first time he started at Brooklyn, $12,1 seoond time and $S,000 the third. 586 %\tt jjfceecUi; atut j^prxrrismatt. July 5 Base Ball and Athletic Department. Professional Pick-Ups. Sacramento now leads. There has been a change. Vogt hae fallen off in his hitting. The San Franciscos are receding* Perrott is Stockton's winning pitcher. Borchers has been suspended for two weeks. Duanehas not yet been signed by Stockton. Andy Smith has been released from Stockton. Hill is the weakest hitter in the Oakland team. Holland replaces Kiok Smith in the Kansas City team. "They never speak as they pass by"— Cobb and O'Neill. Whitehead and Nick Smith are expected to arrive Bhortly. The fielding of the Friscos lately has been very "yellow." McSorley has been signed by the Jamestown N. Y. Clnb. Tommy McCord saw the Oakland-Stockton game last San- day. Paol Hines has been signed to play center field for Boston. Pitcher George Zeigler was released by Piltsbnrg after bnt one trial. . Vonder Abe has released Pete Sweeney from the St. Louis Browns. Stapleton has not yet made an error on the Sacramento grounds. Selna makes a very youthful appearance with hismoustache shaved off. It is reported that some of the Friscs players' days are numbered, Jack Wilson's work at third baBe this season could scarcely be improved on. The Gas City boys are improving in fielding, hitting and general team work, Lohman is not a success as a short stop. The trouble ib Pete is too anxious. Goodenough's base running is one of the big features in the Senators' playing. Many new and "old familiar faces" may be seen on Califor- nia diamonds before long. It is a question as to whether the professional or amateurs are paid the most for their services. Silent Bob Blakiston was out at the grounds Sunday just to Bee how his old friend Gagus got along umpiring. The season is about one third over, the war is still raging, and the prospects are very bright for a heavy financial loss. — Eastern Exchange. Five players from Waco, Texas, hove signed with the Portland team. They are Hassamer, Khue, Land, Whit- taker and Scatchen. Billy Cooney has been suffering from a sprained finger and badly bruised leg, and has in consequence been unable to play regularly with the team. In the four games in which Baltz pitched for Vallej-). but nineteen hits have been made off him, and he struck out fifty-eight batsmen. Quite a record. The OaklaDd grounds are yet in a wretched condition, the outfield being covered with a dense growth of weeds, which greatly interferes with the fielding of the game. Why someone of the different managers dont sign Purcell we are at a loss to understand, unless it is that they intend importing more "cheap labor at reduced rates." Dick Belcher, ex Amherst, ex E.and O. E , and ex Tacomas is frequently seen at the Haigbt Btreet grounds accompanied by two or more charming and beautiful young ladies. Ebright is an awfol hard kicker when one of his men makes a misplay, but Buck shonld remember that he bimBelf can contribute to the error column pretty near as fast as the next man. Fodger who seemed totally disheartened by the poor showing the Stocktons had been making has now braced up and is hitting the ball with telling effect and also fielding his position in capital Btyle. Boscoe Coughlin recently pitched for EvauBville against Cerre Haute, and was hit Bafely eleven times, including a 'homer" and two three basers, and the Terre Hautes earn- ing four of their five runs. Harris failed to fulfill his prediction that the Portlands n-oold be "the people" by Jnly 4th. As yet they are so far tiown id the race that the Northwestern papers frequently come out with the head line "Portland Not In It." Ed Keeder, whowill be remembered as the first baseman of ] the old Californias, and who has until recently been playing i with the Austin, Texas team, is now with Indianapolis. Catcher Earle has accepted the terms of the Tacoma Club, I of the North Pacific League. The Cleveland Players' League team is after him, and he is on the fence, for Tacoma has not sent a ticket, as telegraphed. Four of Robinson's Colonels of last Beason are now playing iu four different teams of the Atlantio Association. Tbey are Long, with Baltimore; Dooley, with Jersey City; Wehrie, with Wilmington; and Stallings, with Hartford. In Zimmer the Cleveland Club has a treasure, and he has done more catching this saason than any catcher in the base ball arena. Tbey never hear a marmar out of him either, and he is always ready and willing to go behind the bat. In the eight innings last Sunday the Oaklands were re- tired on three pitched balls. C. O'Neill hit to Fogarty and was thrown out at first. Dongan hit to Fudger and went out the same way, and Meegan hit to Wilson and followed suit. Dungan has not yet got over his grand stand playing. It is said the Colonel has threatened to fine the big back-stop $25 the next time he catches him looking to the grand stand in search of admiring glances. The Colonel wants all these for himself. McHale has developed into a rattling fine outfielder and has also been doing hard service -with stick. Although Bow- man has done the bulb of tho catching for Sacramento in an emergency Mac can be depended on to make a good showing in the backstop position also. It is difficult to understand why the Stockton management did not hold on to Matt Stanley. The team has practically speaking but one catcher — Vogt — as Duane is not coming and Armstrong scarcely fills the bill in the back stop line, although it is said he is a very claver in and out fielder. For the team to win games they should certainly have at least two reliable catchers on the roll and Stanley has demon- strated the fact that he can catch along with any back stop on, the Coast. Armstrong could be used most advantageously in left field and would be of much benefit to the team if played in every game on account of his strong hitting and versatile fielding abilities. Then with the pitobers and catchers paired off good battery work could be expected which is a powerful factor in the success of a team. We would most strenuously advise the Stockton team to add young Stanley to their regular pay roll, feeling confident that he woold be a most valuable acquisition to the team and knowing that our belief in his capabilities is shared in by some of the best Eastern critics and players who have witnessed his work as an amateur. We are sorry to learn that Billy Farrell has been indulging in "big steams with the collar round the bottom." Billy has a snug berth with the Sacramentos but as the management are strict disciplinarians it behooves the "utility man" to walk the straight and narrow path. The following are some of the players familiar to California patrons whose heads have felt the weight of the axe already this season: Stallings, Brooklyn; Nick Smith, Kansas City; Trick McSorley, Peoria; Roscoe Coughlin, Chicago; Hughey Smith, Hartford; Goldie, Peoria; Howard, Detroit; Whitehead Denver and Perrier, McCarthy and Barry, Portland. The following combination of "Don'tB-' are offered as ad- vice to players and patrons by the Boston Globe: Don't eat heartily before a ball game. Don't Bleep after 7 a. m. if you want to keep in good con- dition. Don't roast the poor umpire when you are getliog the best of it. Don't try to throw before you get the ball. Don't give it away when you feel nervous. Don't try to Blide on your spikes. Don't be too anxious to hit the ball. Don't play in the same spot for all batsmen. Don't try to kill a baseman with hard throwing. Don't hold the ball in the outfield. Don't think the game is won until the last man is out. Don't get rattled if the papers criticize your playing. Don't be afraid to soil your olothes in sliding. Don't expect to win games without team work. Don't forget that many of the spectators were players when schoolboys, and can appreciate good work. Don't play for the grand stand. Don't drink too much water in a strange town. Don't wait for a slow bounding ball to come to you. Don't look for perfect players or umpires. Don't fail to keep your eyes on the coming champions. A man cannot remain on the top of the heap forever, even if he does have a fine run of lack while he is properous. John Clarkson knows a thing or two about this business. Last year he was a king in his line, and even this year he is I drawing the largest salary of any pitcher in the world, al- though he is losing games now as fast as he won them last season —Critic. When Bug Holliday politely asked the umpire if he was quite sure he eaw a certain play, he was rudely informed, "Jost as snre a3 I am that it will cost you $5 for asking me." Mr. Holiiday's feelingB, as well as his pocket, were hurt, so he took a vacation and sneaked over to the players' bench to ponder over the many nice things be could have bought with that unfortunate five-dollar note. —Exchange. Ed Stapleton has released "Scotty" — Zeigler's little bow legged mascot. Ed says "Scotty" brought good luck to Zeig- ler, but just the opposite was the case when he assumed the management. In Sacramento the Senators need no mascot, but while here a "little ragged urchin," who thinks the big first baseman is the best player in the profession outside of Buck Ewing, has been signed to help pave their way to victory. There is no player in this League that is ofteoer the recip- ient of applause than John Patrick Parnell Cahill. Patsy has long been a universal favorite and deservedly so. From the time "play ball" is called till the last man is out, Cahill is every moment "in the game." Always reliable at the bat, Bpeedy and foxy running bases and an intelligent outfielder Cahill comes pretty near to being what many of his warm snpporters claim for him— the beet general player on the Coast. Col. Tom Robinson, the "unaffected, undetected and well connected" manager of the Oaklaods made a great big mis- take when he saidStickney played ball "like an old woman," May be the Colonel thought the term "old woman" as ap- plied to Stickney was synonymous with clever, "out of sight" and other popular expletives used to denote excellence when used in reference to ball playing, but whether this is so or not, we wish there were more "old woman" players of Bill Stickneys calibre in the Oakland team to-day. Wouldn't Reilly have been a good man for Finn to have taken on his last trip "up country" ? When Young was bat- ted out of the box and Sweeney substituted, the team was without a capable player who could be spared to play first. Had Reilly been with the team, Ebright who can play a very acceptable first baBe, could have been placed there, Beilly at short, and Speer in right field, and with this arrangement it would be a safe bet that their run column woold not present such a dismal contrast and that their error column wonld also contain fewer figures. In the 8t. Louis-Toledo game, June 10, at St. Louis. Pitcher Stivetts, of the home team, is credited with winnirg the game by making a home run in the ninth inning with three men on the bases. His record for that game was three runs and four hits, including two home runs. Besides, he retired ten of the visitors on strikes. — Exchange. From the present outlook of the Stockton-San Jose d al, it would appear as though one of the local dailies was rather premature in making the statement that the "Stockton Clob's franchise had been sold to San Jose." The following extract from the Stockton Mail of June 30th, pnta the matter in a vary different light: "As to the transfer, that will not be made if the people want the club to stay here and will subscribe the necessary amount of money within the next fifteen days. If two of the Directors had their say the club would perhaps be San Jose's property immediately, but there are three who will stand by this city and who are now (instead of laying back and letting the club go to San Jose by default) actively en- gaged in aiding the work of obtaining subscription. The Director who has made the assertion to more than one person that the club would certainly go to San Jose by the 1st of July if S300 per month was not subscribed, and the one who said sarcastically, "we will see," when told that he could not do the same thing, are discovering that their de- sires in the matter and their power are two entirely different things. The people will retain the club, if they want it. The leading dailies of San Francisco have taken the op- portunity to hit Stockton a blow in the matter, and assert that the sale has surely been made and that the club will certainly go to San Jose by the 1st of next month. They are not aware of the fact that one Direotor cannot slip over to San Jose and sell the team there on the quiet. Whatever arrangements he may have made, they amounted to nothing, and the city of San Jose is in a position to receive consider- able ridicule for her too sudden enthusiasm. The Dnbuque Club had a pitcher of the name of Kea«, who was a pretty tough nut. He did about as he pleased until it became necessary to call him down. The clab officials talked the matter over and it was decided that Manager Mo Caull shonld put the bell on the cat. He mustered np his courage and now, as bold as a lion, informed Mr. Keas that he had been fined. Seas was very much surprised, but be did not fall into a fit. He simply said: "You have fined me. have you? Well, I'll give you something to fine me for." And in less than a minute poor Manager MoCaull was a sad looking spectacle. Keas, having a few minutes to spare, just put it in to the best advantage and wipsd up the earth with his manager. The directors found it advisable to re- lease Mr. Keas. — Exchange. Henry Chadwick on Scoring. Here is the record of Armstrong, the new Stockton player, while with the Texas League till its disbandment this year. Armstrong's name is sixth in the hitting list of sixty-one play- era, having a batting average of 290. As a second baseman he ranked fourth among nine players of the same positioa with a fielding average of 921, and of twelve third baseman he was third on the list with 926 per cent to his credit. Judging from these figures one is warranted in saying "He's all right, etc" Why do not official scorers when they send reports to the press give the number of innings each pitcher pitches in when more than one pitcher is employed on the team? Looking at a score in the papers, one finds the names of two pitchers on each team, without auy figures on the score to show how many innings each pitched in. The summary score of a game should include the following pitching record : Ba°es on balls — By Jones 5, by Brown 3, by Kobinson 1, by Walker 0. Wild pitches— By Joues 2. by Brown 1, by Robinson 1, by "Walker 0. Hit by pitcher— By Jones 1, by Brown 0, by Robinson 0, by Walker 0. 8truck out— By Jones 4, by Brown 3. by Robinson 0, by Walker 0. Base bits — Off Jones 8, off Brown 4, off Robinson 2, off Walker 0. Innings pitched in — By Jones 4, by Brown 5, by Robinson 6, by Walker 3. Earned runs— Off Jones 3, off Brown 2, off Robinson 0, off Walker 0. Here we have a complete pitcher's score. In the batting summary the record of extra hits, which is simply offering a premium on record play at the bat, should be left ont, and runs batted in by safe hits, theeriterion.of team work at the bat substituted. 1890 2?Jue ifrjejete and JSpjaristuan. 587 The California League. GAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCK TON. THE STANDING OF THE « 1.1 US. Sacramento has at last "got there", and the chances are she will be a "stayer". Good team work coupled with clever captaining and efficient management cannot but be prolific of good results and this is what has placed Sacramento in the lead. The Friscos are bat a shade behind bnt it looks as though they had lost their grip and are certainly mnch in need of some new talent. Oakland has a very firm hold on third position, and Stockton, though still last, has shown a decided improvement in games won for the past week.

There was a mixed base ball element in the twelve hun- dred spectators that viewed this game at Emeryville and the Senators evidently had a goidly number of waim supporters xn that throng. But there was a very large number of the Colonel's constituents on the grounds also and conse- quently much enthusiasm was voiced. The Oakland team was a sort of impromptu one, Captain O'Neill receiving a severe bruise to his right hand in the preliminary practice which incapacitated him from playing. Lehman was there- fore placed at short, Dungan behind the bat and Carsey in right held. The Sacramentos had out their strongest team but did not put up the game they are capable of. Harper was not at his best. Bowman was slightly off in his throwing and even the "king pin" Beitz was credited with two errors which were partially excusable. But their was some excel- lent hitting and the game was such as to keep every one guessing as to the ultimate result. The errors made were of a most costly character and of the sixteen runs made but three were earned. McDonald, Dungan, Reitz, Daly and Bowman's hard and timely bitting was much appreciated as was the exceptionally clean and clever work of Stapleton, Roberts, Daley, Goodenongh and Carsey.

Friday, June 27th, at Stockton. Good, honest hitting in the sixth iDning brought in five runs and won the game for Stockton. Lookabaugh had been pitching a magnificent game up to this inning, when with two out and Selna on first, Cahill landed a corker in right field. Then Holliday's wagon tongue came in contact with another of Look's curves, and avery timely two-bagger was the result, Selna. tallying1. Fudger was not to be outdone by any of bis predecessors, and banged out a healthy three- baser, Cahill and Holliday walking home. Fogarty hit to Buchan, and bnt Sweeney dropped the ball on which misplay Fudger scored. Fogarty then stole second, and on Wilson's fly to center, which Hanley dropped, Fogarty gained the plate, This great advantage completely knocked the steam out of the Goblins, and they played a weak game after this disastrous inning. The Gas City boys played -elegantly, Wilson, Holli- day, Fudger and Selna distinguishing themselves. The hit- ting was remarkably light, Fudger's stickwork alone being worthy of any special mention, Djnohue's umpiring was very satisfactory.

Saturday, June 28th, at Haigiit St. It was a t-raw and gusty day" and not at all in accordance with the salubrious climate in which the Senatorial aggre- gation are accustomed to make their marvellous pickups, wonderful throws, brilliant catches and corking long shots. They played a very ordinary game and the Colonels had little difficulty in winning. Hoffman was in the points for the Senators and was hit rather freely. Bowman gave him fine support. Young CarBey did the twirling for Oakland and his work was more than clever. The Oaklands fielded their positions in great shape making but three misplays, one of which proved very costly. The Sacramentos took a nice lead which they kept till the sixth inning, but the Colonels made four runs at this stage of the game on Hoffmaus wildness, a hit, a passed ball and a few mellow errors. It looked as though the Senators had a chance to make things very warm in the seventh inning for with two out and one man scored, Goodenongh hit safely and stole second. Then Daly Bmashed out another, Goodenongh sprinting homeward. O'Neill made a fast field and throw to the plate and the next instant there was a collision and Dungan was rolling over and over amid volumes of dust but still holding the ball. It was a question aB to wnether Goodenongh was out or not but Ga- gus said so and what Gagus says on the ball field '"goes." The particular features were Goodenoughs, Bowmans, Reitzs, Dungan and Isaacsons general playing and Carseys work in the box.

The hiltiDg was light and the fielding generally good. Armstrong from Texas made his debut, but did not prove himself a wonder in his position. On the other hand, Stevens baokstop work was excellent. In the fifth inning Kilroy hit for a triple; Cahill followed with another bit of the same quality, and Selna's sacrifice brought home Cahill, making two earned runs. Prominent among the features of the game was Ca- hill's stick work, Selna's first base play and Ebright's base running and work at short field.

Every man in the team Btemed "chuck.full of glory," and they just dashed through the game in the style of the pennant winners of '88, Perrott was in the box, and his work was something beauti- f nl to witness. For eight innings, four hits were all that were secured off him, and he was very steady throughout. Arm- strong was his catcher, but bis work was not by any mean* first class. Cobb was in the box for Oakland, and was hit hard. His support was not good, Lohman being in very poor form, making three bad miaplajs; but some of the Oaklands did play ball, and wonder ul ball, too. Bill Stickney at third brought down thunders of applause, and his stops and throws were something amazing. In the eighth inning he made the greatest catch of a high line hit ever witnessed on the grounds. It came from Fudger's bat, and looked as though it was a sure double, but "Mobile" nimbly jumped fully four feet from the gronnd, struok up his paw, and the ball rested there, but only for a moment, for the next instant the ball was landed safely in McDonald's hands, Holliday being doubled up by this wonderful play. The fielding of the Stocktons was gilt edged, it being im- possible to improve on CahilPs, Fogarty's Fudger's or Selnas' work. Armstrong showed himself to be a heavy batsman, and in this line Selna, Holliday, WilBon, McDonald and Isaacson kept pace with him. Gagus umpired his first Sun- day game to the satisfaction of all.

Fully four thousand people were attracted to the grounde, and all were hopeful that they would see the Senators landed in first place, and also that it would be a brilliant game. In the first instance their hopes were most fully realized, but in the second they were doomed to dismal disappoinment. The Frisoos seemed totally unprepared to play their game of the season; in fact, their playing was a most perfect burlesque on how the game should be played. They were as full of errors as a mosquito net is of holes, and every player except, ing Stevens gave an exhibition of how base ball should not be played. Young was to be the pitcher, but he was wild as a "Texas steer," and in three innings gave six bases on balls, hit Daly, and was touched up for seven hits. Sweeney was then substituted, and considering the ragged support aocorded him, pitched a good game. "Toreador" Harper was also very wild in the third inning, but otherwise did well. Bowman's work behind the bat was eiceptionally fine, as was the field- ing of Stapleton, Reitz, Godar, Roberts and Stevens. Other features were the base running of Goodenough, and the hitting of Beitz, Godar, Stapleton, Goodenough, Shea and McHale. Stapleton, who got his base on bulls four times, signalized his first obance to hit the ball by banging out a home run. Godarjalso made a four baser in the second inning. Donohue's decisions on bases were in every case correct, but the pitchers could not get a strike called unless the ball trav- elled over the center of the plate.

The Amateurs' rank is still unchanged but there have been some lively fi actuations iu the percentage column for the past week. Santa Rosa has taken a big drop and the Reports are gradually nearing the top. The Will & Fincks have dropped perceptibly, but are a very firm third.

The above teams played an intensely interesting and excit- ing game last Sunday, and which the Young Giants lost through some stupid base running in the seventh inniDg. Walcott pitched for the "Railroaders" and his work was ex- ceedingly clever. Mulvey at the receiving end. gave him almost perfect support. Howell, the "two year old," was.in the points for the Giants, and was a trifle wild at critical times. The backstop work of his partner, Billings, could not be surpassed. The Burlingtons scored twice in the third inning on McKeDzie's base on balls, Bradley's force hit and Mulvey's single to"right. In the sixth Bradley took first on balls, Biole second and scored on Kennedy's triple to left, Kennedy coming home on Walcott's single; Walcott tallied on Tillson'B error of Dunn's hard grounder. In the seventh they added another to their string. Bradley, who had been very fortunate in run getting, took his base on balls, stole (second, and crossed the plate on Mulvey's second single. The Giants tallied one in the first on Cnsick's base on balls and steals of second and third and Conway's out at first. In the second Leveque was safe on Dann's error and home on Frank Delmas' triple. They tallied one in the fifth and their chances for winning the looked bright in the seventh inning. TillBon led off with a double to left, stole third and scored on Leveqne's single, Joe taking second on the throw in. Frank Delmas was given first on bulls and pilfered second. Howell had mean while struck out and Cnsick, the most reliable hitter in the team was at the bat. Delmas then did some monkey base running which retired the side. He followed close up to third forcing Leveque to leave the bag and take desperate chances of scoring and the result waB that Joe was canght between third and home. There were Borne pretty and smart playing done by both side*. Noteworthy of par- ticular mention was the fieldiDg of Kennedy, Bradley, Flem- ing, Strand and F. Delmas; the hitting of Laveque, Mulvey, Tillson, F. Delmas and Kennedy, and the base running of Cnsick, Bradley and Leveqne.

Sunday, Junk 29th at Santa Roha. Santa Rosa lost the first game on their own grounds to the Repoits laBt Sunday. It was not a hard fought battle for the "News Circulators, ' both out batted and out fielded the Leaders. Callen wbb hit out hard and frequently and the Sonoma boys evinced a tendenoy to help the visitors along by condescending to make errors when their opponents were doing their hittiog. But between the errors was B.^ndwiched some brilliant playing. Young Gimmel was a host in him- Belt, and captnred the crowd and Bome very difficult fly balls aB well. Cook also took an active part in the fielding and Hen Stultz's work at first was reminiscent of the manner in which he covered the initial when with the Tribunes. For the Reports Monet and Green worked well together, and the infield exhibition by Gray, Creamer, Thompson and Dunphy could scarcely be improved on. Mclntyreand Sharp put op a pretty fielding game also. Sharp, Mclntyre, Green, Van Haltran and Pace did some telling work with the stick. Umpire Cate gave good eatisfaotion but found it necessary to tine Gray for back talk. The score: Santa Rosas.

VALLEJOS vs. E. T. ALLLENS- Sonday, June 29th, at Vallejo. ^PLast Sunday was a memorable occasion for the "Sports" for by an arrangement entered into by the managers cf both teams before the game, it was decided that the issue of the contest would also decide which team was entitled to the tie game of May 30th. The Aliens brought xxp a strong team and went in to play ball, while the Vallejos seemed content to lower their fielding records by making nearly as many er- rors as they had chances. Tne Aliens made sis runs in the first inning, principally on errorB, and augmented their score by one run in the fourth and three in the seventh; while the Marines, who hit hard, scored ono tally at intervals of the first, sixth, seveuth and eighth innings. Baltz pitched an- other of his wonderful strike out games, 'but his support, with few exceptions, was wretched. Farrell's work behind the bat was fairly good, as was the first base play of Jack RyaD, taking into consideration the "skyrocket" throws he was expected to receive. The remainder of the team played like a lot of Turks who had never Been a ball before. The Aliens gave a pretty exhibition. Stanley handled McDon- ald's erratic pitching to the Queen's taste, and Reilly made some extraordinary stops and pickups of hard grounders. He was given an error on which play the batsman should have been credited with a base hit. Bnrt Parker made his appearance with the team and was slightly "off" in throwing, otherwise his general work was first class. Maguire, Baltz and Reilly excelled at the bat, and Parker and Maguire did some good base running. McConville's decisions were often disputed by the Vallejos who, besides giving a rank exhibi- bition of base ball, also gave a sample of rowdyism. The score: AlXENS.

McGuire is a good captain for the Marines. Dave Creamer lost his temper last Sunday. Lewis is now playing second for the Aliens. The city teams were all winners last Sunday. Bradley has developed into quite a base runner. The Santa Rosas lost last Sunday's game by wild thron- ing. Sharp and Molnfyre are the safest hitters in the Report team. John Thompson is playing great bull at short field for the Reports. Stanley caught another magnificent game for the Allen8 Sunday. Jack .Ryan's work at first base last Sunday was not up to the standard. Josh Reilly's work at short stop last Sunday is said to have been simply wonderful. Sullivan, Dave Levys old twirler, has been signed to play second base for the Chronicles. Joe Leveque has regained bis batting eye and is hitting the ball out frequently and hard. Cartright, formerly pitcher of the Burlingtons is now play- ing in the field for the Francis Valentines. Last Sunday "the little demon" Gimmel played the finest fielding game ever witnessed at Santa Rosa. Last Sunday the defeated teams, Santa Rosa, and the Will & Fincks made four runs eaoh. Vallejo Judging from the Ecore of the Vallejo-Allen game, Hughes does not appear to be much of an improvement on Broder- ick. Umpire Cate docked Gray, the first baseman of the Reports, five dollars for using insulting language in the Report San- ta Rosa game. Lippert of the Francis Valentines is said to be a tine pitcher. He has great speed, deceptive curves and very fair command of the ball. That boy Sharp has been doiDg some pretty tall hitting this season for the Reports. If the averages were corn- pled, the ohances are Sharp's name would ornament the top of the list Manager Grace has secured Charley Van Haltran to play second base for the Santa Rosas. In the great pitchers brother, Grace has a good reliable infielderand hitter and one who will certainly give good satisfaction. Why dont some of the teams negotiate for Agnews servi- ces. He is probably the best amateur pitcher on the Cobs', with tremendous speed, curves and command and woul 1 be a "corker" for the team who is lucky enough to get him. The following is the team Manager Keller will take to Mer- ced to play that team on the 4th 5th and 6th. McDona'd pitcher; Stanley, catcher; Evatt, first baBe; Lewis, second base; Van Haltran, third base; Reilley, short stop; and Mc- Carthy, Buckley and Geishaker, fielders. Tom Buckley is now stationed in center field with the Al- iens at his own r. quest. Not but that he is fully capable to guard the second bag in A 1 style but being thoroughly con- scientious he knows that to play the position to the beBt ad- vantage requires constant practice and being unable to do this he prelers playing in the outfield. Keller showed where he was level heacUd in signing Buit Parker. Here is a rattling hard worker, one who enters into the spirit of the gtnis boiy and soul. Burt may be a kicker and a hard loser, but he ib withal a clever ball player and can fill any potition except that of pitcher. When with the Clevelands — one of the strongest amateur teams ever or- ganized— Parker did almost all the catchiug and was a light- ning thrower to bases. He was also strong with the willow, and fast on the paths. Keller has decidedly improved his team with the new addition thereto. Gene Broderick who has played third for Vallejo since the beginning of the season has b6en released. Gene appears to have been badly treated at the hands of the Vallejo man- agement. The arrangements made when he signed was that he was to be retained throughout the entire season and that he was to be provided with a good position. The promised position was almost a myth, for in three months he secured but ten days work, and a very few dollars besides his board and lodging would cover his gross earnings with the team. From certain reports it would seem that the team is beinq run by a olique, and if their emnily is incurred no stone will remain unturned until the object of their maliciousness is removed. From a personal knowledge of the player in ques- tion we oan cheerfully say that he has always appeared as a thorough gentleman, and from a cursory glance at the scores believe that be ranked very high in the team as a batsman, and was way above the average as a third baseman. We re- gret to hear of bis release, but undoubtedly some of the other teams will quickly negotiate for his services. SCHEDULE OF GAMES -OP THE- CALIFOKNIA Base Ball League, SEASON 1890.

Nothing succeeds like success It is now claimed that Ax toll's book for 1891 is full, and it is safe to say that if he lowers his present record that before the 1st of January the one for 1892, will be full also. Guide 2:28J is moving up in his work and Mr. Sutherland feels sure that he has a great horse this year. I have already predicted a low mark for Gaide this season and shall feel dis- appointed if he does not touch close to "twenty." L. J. Ro38 has purchased from W. C. Daly the bay mare Little Barefoot bv Tom Oohiltree, dam imp Allie Slade bv Typtroens. In 1S8S this mare won a few good races and it is likely that Mr. Ro se will keep her for breeding purposes. It may not be uninteresting to let our readers know that Mr. Shnlts who purchased Gold Leaf last spring is having her worked as a trotter, and the great daughter of Sidney can show a mile in much better than 2: 30. Sbe has been bred to Baron Rose. The Directors of the Petaluma Fair have made arrange ments with the Street Car Company, and the latter will run the cars directly up to the Grand Stand. This ia a grfat improvement, and will be appreciated by those who patron- ize the grounds. John L. Day, of Chicago, "writes me that bis wife has been honored by Mr. James Long of Georgetown, Ky„ who has named a well bred oily, Ida F. Day. The filly is by Petoskey, dam by Forrest Glencoe, 2nd dam by Mambrino Pilot, 3rd dam by Tom Hal. The Antevolo colt owned by Mr. Requa of Oakland, that ia now being handled by Steve Crandall at Petaluma. gives promise of extreme speed, and so he should, for mating Nutwood blood with a first-class son of Electioneer is almost sure to get performers. I take pleasure in saying that when my horses were sick with wbat was called luog 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, Jenkintown, Pa. In our Los Angeles letter published June 21st, the corres- pondent said that J. D. Young owned the only Monroe Chief sUUion in the southern portion of the Stata. J. B. Palin writes me that he also has one named John H. Thompson, the dam being Eva P. by Ben Wade. A telegram from New York sent on Wednesday afternoon says that Robert L. Walboe and Ignatz Blotz who p'eided guilty to the larceny of $50 000 belonging to J. H. Wallace, uncle of the former, were that day sentenced to State Prison for eight years and eleven months each. The reason that Gertrude Russell was bred to Jersey Wilkes was beoause she had become lame owing to an un- balanced hoof and Marvin threw her out of training. Palo Alto Stock Farm has been very unfortunate so far with their Eastern contingent but we hope to see them attain great re- sults yet. All of the Dawn colts that are being worked show up well and that fact has encouraged a number of owners of good brood mares to send their animals to the harem of Nnt wood's best son. Mr. Whitney has bad a very successful season with him, and now almost regrets tbat he has sold the great horse. The Terre Haute Express is quoted as spying that: Ger trade Russell, 2:23£ (fall sister to Palo Alto), by Electioneer1 dam Dame Winnie, was bred to Jersey Wilkes last Saturday. Nothing could better illustrate the high estimate placed on thiB great son of George Wilkes than the fact that the Palo Alto farm should send one of its best mares to him. Arol, brown mare, 2:24£, by Electioneer, dam Aurora, 2:27. that was injured in shipment to Terra Haute from Palo Alto farm, died at Drs. Koowles &: Thompson's hospital in Terre Haute last week. Prior to her shipment, she had shown her ability to beat her mark by many seconds, and Marvin confi- dently expected to get a much lower record for her Frank H. Burke and William Vioget his trainer will have agala dav to-morrow (Fridiy). owing to a dispute that has arisen between then respecting the sp°ed of t*vo trotting horseB, niw quartered at the Bay District Track, in the La Siesta string. A wager had been posted on the result, and those who attend at the treok may expect to witness a sharp losteat, On the steamer that started for Australia last Saturday, there was shipped, a fall brother Ito Yolo Maid, he having been bought by Mr. Foster, of Sydney. The purchase was conditional on the horse being able to show two miles in five minutes or better and as the feat was accomplished in 4:51, the sale was coueumated. Oro, the property of J. R. Ross, won a selling race at Kan- sas City, on June 12tb, the entrance price being $1,000. The Scoggan Bros, bid the winner in for $1,200 and again sold him to Ed. Corrigan at a considerable advance. Oro was bred the property of Theodore Winters, and finally passed into the hands of Owen Bros, of Fresno, who last year sold Oro to Mr. Boss, and was by him taken East a few months ago. Secretary Campbell of the Detroit Association writes me that eighteen of the original subscribars to the Merchants and Manufacturers Stake of $10,000 have come up smiling and made the third payment, thereby assuring as tine a field of starters in the 2:24 class as ever left the wire. July 7th is the date for the final payment and the naming of the horses, when it will he in order for the knowing ones to pick the winner of this valuable stake. Jo. D. Sproul, Secretary of the Chico Association, informs me that Hon. Chris Green, of Sacramento, will act as the starting judge io a'l the trotting and pacing races at that point. I am glad to see Chico secure the services of snch a capable starter, for then the public will feel assured that all of the races will be on the square. One good man in the judge's stand always makes the crook3 afraid to carry out any fraudulent schemes they may have concocted. Another of the better known ra<"e horses has passed away, Jon Jon, falling dead in a race at West Side Park, Chicago, on June ISsh. By many the old gelding was supposed to have been one of the fastest horses ever raised in this state, and to this day there are those who assert positively that whde in work in the Oakland Track, he was timed a mile in 1:38. Be that as it may, be was a fast horse and generally had a large following whenever he was announced to Btart. •Jou Jon wai by Monday dam Plaything by Alarm. Ab one or two mistakes have already taken place this Tear in regard to making entries, envelopes not being post- marked properly, we would like to impress on all our read ers the importance of making their entries in lime, so that the post-mark of the day intended may show. This inti- mation is necessary, as there are many of the smaller towns where letters put in the box after the train arrives are not post marked until the following day, and as a consequence payments and entries are liable to be thrown out. Make your entries early. Col. Harry I. Thornton is the proud and happy possessor of two Director foals from thoroughbred mares that are re- ported to be far above the average. Both of the youngsters are natural trotters, and before leaving for the East Mr. Sal- isbury expressed a desire to purchase them both. It is ex- tremely probable that he will do so aB there is only a small snm difference between the price named and offered, and still the figure is up in the thousands. One is out of Aurora, the dam of Guido, while the other is out of Lngena. Mr. Gilbert Tompkins and his trainer Peter Woods are sanguine that Glen Fortune will turn out to be a sure enough trotter. The colt is foor years old and was purchased from the Palo Alto Stock Farm at the same time that Mr. Tomp- kins bought El Benton. Glen Fortune is by E'ectioneer dam Glenne by Messenger Duroc; 2nd dam Gleonella by Woodward Star; 3rd dam Shanghai; Mary, dam of Green Mountain Maid, dam of Electioneer. Glen Fortune from his blood lines should be able to trot fast and in Wood's hands will undoubtedly do so. The yearling Sable Wilkes colts are highly thought of by those who have seen them work, and John A. Goldsmith has an idea that the son of Guy Wilkes will make a great name for himself in the stud. There is no reason why he should not do so, possessed of great speed himBelf and as the repre- sentative of two speed producing families, he should surely be able to transmit the same in a marked degree The pub- lic will have a chance to see what, they can do as several of them will be started this year. Friend McNabb of the Petaluma Argus, seems to think that the Sonoma and Marin Society have not offered money enough for local horses in the speed programme, evidently forgetting the fact that where a Board of Directors restrict themselves almost entirely to home horses, that the popula- tion will not turn out to see Speed contests. It is the horses that come from a distance that are the drawing cards, and those who have tried both plana find that the "open to all" are the best paying as lar as "the gate" is concerned. Now that Washington has taken on Statehood, she rises to assert her rights and by our exchanges learn that the good folks of the late territory will hold a State Fair during the present year. To further that end the Washington Fair As- sociation has been incorporated with the following board of officers and trustees: B. F. Shabut. President; J. W. Mo- Leod, first "Vice-Preeident: J. McNaught, second Vice-Presi- denl;S. Baxter, third Vice-President; J. H. McGraw, Treas- urer; T. B, Bearman. Secretary. The capital stock is $50,000 and the first meeting will be held on Julyllth, 12th and 13th. L. H. Mcintosh, of Chico, one of the Directors of the P. C. T. H. B. A., was in the city during the early portion of the week and reports his crop of foalB as being equal to any found on the coast. In Arthur Wilkes he has a first claBs stallion and to test his speed Mr. Mcintosh will have his Bon of Gny Wilkes trained, and is satisfied that he will win a tJace for bim in the 2:30 list. With the many good stallions now in the vioinity of Chico, the day is not far distant when that section of the State will be able to turn oat as many, and as fast trotters, as any other in California. During the week just passed, Mr. LafayetteFonk of Farm- ington has been in the City looking after his interests, and in=conversation he stated that within a few weeks he would in all probability ship down to the Bav District Track all bis horses now in training. The Funk Bros, have many well bred youngsters at their firm, and from among the many we fully expect to see one or two fast trotters crop up before the season closes. John McConnell (Buster) will train and drive their horses throngh the circuit, he having b*eq domiciled at Farmington for the pas*, thiee months. Tke statement that Jennie Lind 2.17 pacer, has given birth to a trotting foal by Roy Wilkes, pacer 2:12£, is still being copied and commented upon by many turf papers; and as the statement first appeared in the Breeder and Sports- man, it is ODly just that we should say that in a letter lately received from Mr. L. A. Davies, owner of Boy Wilkes he says that the foal has taken to paciDg. Thd fact that Stover was expelled or suspended from the Fresno track does not seem to make any difference to that slick individual as he has been cutting a wide swath on the Eastern tracks. A short time ago he bought the aged horse Hamlet for $1,800 at Kansas City and won $3,000 with him in his first race, and then sold the horse to A Simon for $2,200. How it must have tickled the fancy of this individ- ual to see himself called "a shrewd California horseman," when the real facts of the case are, that there is hardly' a Directorate in the State bnt what feels better satisfied with his absence, than p eased at his presence. The trotters in foreigo parts appear to be unusually busy. At the spring meeting at Vienna, May 11th, the famous Praterpreis, free for all, for 2,500 florins, divided, was won by Mr. Ehrich's brown mare Polly, lale Utopia, in seven heats of 1,100 metres each, or about 5i furlongs. Polly's fastest heat was made in 1:36, and represents a 2;27 gait per mile. Inquiry has been made about the selling price of the gray mare Keosett F. The presentlowners, Messrs. Allergaert andD.B. Goff, ask 80,000 francs, $16,000. The mare under- took the Snuday following the races to beat Mollie Wilkes' record on the Vienna track, made last summer, of 2:20£ per mile, but was not quite sncceseful. The first attempted mile was trotted in 2:28, then a running horse was put in requisition, and she trotted the two following miles in 2:23 and 2:21 respectively. Arthur Simmons has a Texas pony on his farm at Chokee whose ability as a jumper cannot be surpassed. He is a diminutive specimen of that breed of horse-flesh and a day or two ago was put into a big box or crate for shipment to Americus, there being no stock car convenient at the time. The pony and box were placed upon a fiat car and the train pulled out. The little sample of Texas cyclone soon got tired of his close quarter?, and while the train was running at a speed of thirty miles an hour, kicked the box into a cocked hat and made a leap for liberty. He struck terra 6rma right side up with care, and when the train men came back to view his cold remains the said remains were quietly nibbling at a ke of iron spikes on the side of the road, and it took four men and a boy an hour to run down and cap- ture him. At least that is what the conductor said — Amer- icus (Ga ) Times. A peculiar fight has taken place in the County Board of Equalization at Terra Haute over the fignres that two stal- lions should be assessed at. It seems that Mr. Ijams re- turned Axtell and Jersey Wilkes in his assessment blank at $100 each, but the Farmers' Alliance appeared by represen- tatives, and asked that the Township Assessor's return assessing the stallions at $75,000 each be approved. By a vote of four to three — Axtell was assessed at $8,000 and Jersey Wilkes at $3,000. The Farmers' Alliance petition that the animals be assessed at $75,000 each was beaten by a vote of five to two. The fight has attracted much attention among horsemen, and the Alliance is not satisfied. It claims that Axtell cost $105,000, earned $40,000 in the stud the past season, and that $75,000 is bis fair cash valae. Axtell'a owners threaten to remove him from Terre Haute if the assessment is made high. That Axtell and Sunol will meet in one race and possibly three before the close of the seasor, is almost an assured fact, says the Horseman. The champion stallion will not be in condition before September, although Doble finds that he still possesses his wonderful burst of speed, while Marvin gave the public a line on Sunol last week when he sent her a quarter in 31:1-5 seconds. All of the parties controlling the pair of four-year-olds are anxious that they should meet, so that the only barrier between a meeting is one or both of them losing their form before the autamn months. A race or series of races will settle the Wilkes-Eleotioneer race war, and stir up a greater interest in trotting. On paper Axtell should defeat the California filly, as ha finished ten heats as a three-year-old over mile tracks at an average of 2:16, while Sunol averages a fraction under 2;18 for twelve heats. A glance over Axtell's performances also shows that as a three- year-old he trotted four miles over half-mile tracks and that the average for his fourteen heats is 2:17}, It is with a great deal of pleasure that I finally have a chance to record a winning for the Hearst stable. Although starting many times this year, if memory serves correctly, and without turning up the Guide, the stable has won only once, until Wednesday last, when for the great Realization stakes the now celebrated horseman had the pleasure of seeing his horse Tournament carry the green and gold to victory. 8alvator was the winner of last year's Realization stakes, the first ever run for, and it is rather a strange coin- cidence that the time made this year was exactly the same as that made last, 2:51, the distance being a mile and five- eighths. There are so many different acconnts of the race in the San Francisco dailies that it is an extremely hard matter to tell how the race wa« won, as one of the morning papers says he won bv twenty lengths, another says he won by thirty lengths while an evening paper says he won by only ten lengths; be that as it may, undoubtedly it was a hollow victory and one without a struggle. I sincerely trust that the Senator's colors may be seen in the lead many more times before the season closes. At the very commencement of the betting on the Loantaka race on Thursday, says Roundabout in the Sportsman, a rotund booky at the lower end of the ring was seen to mark up even money against that speedy sprinter's chances of run- ning first, second or third. The crowd almost carried away his stand in their first wild dive at him, but he did not weaken. He stood up there in the midst of that Octopus- like conglomeration of racing arms for the full half hour, and never manifested the slightest inclination to go to the chalk. The lucky holders of the big tickets against him came back to his stand after the race in the firm belief that they would find him over his head in the slough of despond. Inntead they found him ptuiling like a wbcle lumber yard of chips. His next neighbor nnveiled the secret of his one: jocuudity. He had bet every dollar placed with Loantaka to ran first, second or third npon Lour This was the way in which he had reasoned ont hie Loantaka has bottom enough to stay the rou speed enough to win; if he has not that bottom he ! one, two, three.

A. was held at the rooms of the Association on Tuesday last, to canvas the best possible means of having a meet- ing which will surpass in brilliancy the one that was held at the Bay District Track last fall. As many favor- able reports had been received from various sections of the State iu regard to free-for-all pacers, it was decided to offer a purse of $1,200, for the side wheel brigade, the entries to which will close on August 1st. The entrance fee will be ten per cent, of the purse, but not payable in installments, although the purse is a nomination one. Another meeting of the Directors will be held on Tues- day of next week at 2 p.m. sharp to finish up the pro- gramme for the year, and also to take some action as to where the Association will have the annual meeting. It ia understood that several of tbe District Associations 'e auxious to secure the honor, and the majority of the irectors are in favor of receiving sealed proposals and electing the track whose Directors will give tbe largest d nus. However, their plan of action will be deter- mined on Tuesday and those who are interested should ■j.tten'1 the meeting. Racine 1-39 1-2.

The California Wing-shooting Club held a meeting on latt Sunday at the Oakland race track. It was the fourth con- test for three medals . Live birds were used in this match, which resulted as follows; Robinson 10, Haaa 12, H. C. Goloher 9, Slade 9, Fay 9, Schroeder S. This gave the first medal to Hass. ou 12 birds and the sec- ond to Robinson on 10. Goloher, Fay and Slade having made a tie, killing 9 birds eaob, a second match was shot for the third medal, which was won by Goloher on 10 birds. W. A. Eberly of Tacoma won the '"Beat Average Standard Medal" given by the Selby Smelting and Lead Company with 74 out of 81 birds, artificial and live. Mr. Eckbardt a distinguished trap shot of Spokane is in San Francisco buying a set of double harness, as he intends to travel hereafter with a matrimonial running mate, Mr. C, Hellish has challenged Mr. J.

He says deer are very scarce; that they either died during the hard winter or that they have left the country. ' The Supervisors of El Dorado County have prohibited the killing of deer within thecoaDty for a term of years, an ordinance which was urgently demanded since hide hunters and slaughterers generally have about exterminated the deer in that once abounding section. A shoot for the Peter's medal will be held on Corouado Beach, on July 4th. Mr. W. J. Morgan, of San Diego, having challenged the present owner of the medal, Mr. Martinez Chick. We shall receive a full and interesting report of the naatch from our correspondent at San Diego. The other match is at 26 singles and 12 pairs of blue rock targets, $3 entrance, birds extra; other matches will also be shot, sweep- stakes and pools to suit the desires of those who attend. Many of the men whose popularity has advanced them to the gubernatorial chair in Califoroia have been more or less fond of sport but none of them have been distinctively and : aggressively sportsmen as the word is now understood. It appears however, that the highest post within tbe State may soon be graced by a man in whom among many other admirable qualities, tba love of sport afield is e. distinguish- l ing attribute. Mr. Jas. V. Coleman, whose desire to be Gov- [ ernor is generally known, is esteemed among sportsmen for | his undeviating devotion to the preservation and introdnc- j tion of game and fish as well as f>r his skill in all manly exercises, including the use of the gan, dog and rod. Hudson, E. W. Moore, H. H. Lewis, and all the other shoot- ing cracks of Portland . The City, its surroundings, itR bus- iness character, the potentialities perceivable in it, every- thing about it won the Major. From Portland he travelled with Mr: Harvey McMurchy to Seattle, Tacoma, and Walla Walla; in every place meeting the most cordial reception and the most generous entertainment. At Walla Walla, Arthur W. Da Bray took Maj. Kellogg in hand and with Hungate, Straight and ore or two olher invincibleB of that burgh made a little party at the Da Bray mansion, the incident of which next to the charm cast over the affair by the ho3tess, was the trotting out of three young Du BrayB, pretty much of a size, and if Kellogg is to believed, sweeter than peaches and CTeam. Mr. Du Bray or" Gaucho" as he is more generally known, gathered up all the live birds in the town, nine in number, and the boys went out for a little shoot in which Major Kellogg swept everything because he shot all the birds. In Seattle, Messrs Hardy and Hall took the wander- ing San Franciscan into camp and did for him what only a warm-hearted sportsman of the nntrammeled north-west would be likely to do. Through a'.l these experiences the guide and mentor of the peripatetic Major was that citizen of the world, Mr. Harvey McMurchy, a man who knows more specifically and says less generally, than any man we ever saw. After conquering the north-west Maj. Kellogg was fortunate in meeting the Bteamship Columbia and its pop- ular purser, Maynard, who did not leave a moment of the Major's time unoccupied, affording one little entertainment after another and making the trip from Portland all too short because of its delightfulness. The Rocky Mountain Sportsman's Association with the aid of excellent Sports Afield has reached a position of prom- inence most flattering to the public spirit of the sportsmen of Colorado, and to the wise counsel of Editor Claude King. In his last issue the editor says: In consequence of the annual meeting boing made attractive by a trap shooting tournament many lose sight of the fact that the main object of the society is the prosecution of offenders against our fish and game laws. The prosecution of law breakers by volunteeis inter- ested in only a general way, is always a thankless and un- pleasant task, and for these reasons loo much credit cannot be given the active members of this association. Experience has taught that there is but one way to found these societies and keep them alive. The R. M. S. A. has struck the key note, and prospers acordingly. The Memphis and Avent Kennel is about to be sold at auction, or rather to the highest bidder, bids to be mailed to J. M. Avent, Hickory Valley, Tennessee Col. Arthur Merri. man and Mr. W. B. Gates retire ab-olutely from all connec- tions with dogs and kennel interests, except rb they may own dogs for their private shooting. Mr. Avent will continue to breed English Setters and to train and run them at the Field Trials. Tbe combination has been the strongest in the Eng- lish Setter world. Mr. Avent is a trainer of the rarest intel- ligence, patience and faithfulness, and it is to his marvelous appreciation of the various methods of development suited to different dogs that tbe unparalleled success of the kennels at the Field Trials has been due, although it cannot be denied that the deep study of blood lines and tbe practical knowl- edge of breeding which alone conld have resulted in such grand dogs as have represented the kennel, have been as much shown by Col. Merriman and Mr. Gates as by Avent. We regret the change, not alone because tbe warmest per- sonal liking is cherished for all the gentlemen named, but also because English Setterdom is likely to feel severely the altered condition of things. THE KENNEL Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest possl* ble notlcea 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. Visits. Henry A. Bassford of Vacaville, when driving home from Suison the other day, saw a large bull snake stretched across the road and he thought it would be a good joke to run the wheel of his cart over the reptile and did so, and the next instant the wriggling, squirming, five foot monster waBin hie lap, brought up from the ground by the revolution of the wheel. Henry kicked and frisked about, and the snake hissed and struck at everything in reach. The situation be- came so uncomfortable that he decided to throw himstll from the c-irt and in an endeavor to do so he became entan- gled in some manner, when the horse became frightened and ran a considerable distance, dragging Mr. Bassford and bruis- ing him up quite severely; however, he managed to check the horse, but his snakeship was missing.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In reply to an article of Mr. PeBhall, alluded to in a recent issue, regarding the Auditing Committee appointed to examine the accounts of the Secretary-Treasury of the American Kennel Club, in which he says: "Now as far as the Auditing Committee that was appointed is concerned, permit me to now state to the dog men and breeders of this country, that the accounts of the American Kennel Clnb have not been audited by the said committee, that is, they simply signed the statements made out by the secretary and treasurer. Two of the committee have so said to several parties, and one member of the com- mittee, I believe, has written a letter to that effect." We desire to say that every statement contained in above quota- tion is unqualifiedly false, as we did examine tbe accounts as directed, and that we made out and signed our own state- ment, Mr. Yredenburgh taking no part in the examination except when called upon to give any needed explanation of entries, and that he took no part whatever in preparation of our report. We individually deny having made any such statements as are contained in above article personally or by letter. A. Clinton Wilmerding, J. M. Taylor, New York, Juoe 19th. Geo. W. LaRce. With an apology to our readers, who may chine e to see the Morning Call newspaper, for dignifying that publication by repeated mention, we again feel it ri»ht to point out the persistent refusal of the Call to inform itself as to certain matters of general importance and interest. Its course for a long time with reference to the game and fish interests has been one of misrepresentation. Its reports of the work performed by the Board of Fish Commissioners and the Deputies have been directly at variance with fact. Such influence as it has, has been exerted persistently to destroy and to subvert the results of the efforts of gentlemen and sportsmen in tbe way of creating and foBtering a healthy pub- lic sentiment about the preservation of fish and game. The Call insists that the Deputy FiBh Commissioners generally are in receipt of compensation from the State. In fact, but two Deputies receive salaries. The other Deputies when they make arrests and secure convictions are entitled to one- third of tbe fines'just as any citizen is and to no further re- ward. The Call implies that the Commission has improperly used funds given to it by tne State with which to import game birds, an implication which could only have its origin in malice, since the books and vouchers of the Commission are open to the publio at every monthly meeting held in this cily on the first Tuesday in each month and inspection will show that such money as has beeb expended has been judi- ciously spent. The correspondence of the Commission will also show that it has made all reasonable effortB to secure other and further supplies of game birds and the fact that it has failed to do so is due only to the inability of those who live in sections where the game birds are plenty to procure them. It is stated that Sir John Lester Kaye has brought to his ranch in the NortbweBt some Belgium and French wolf hounds, which do great work in killing coyotes. A coursing match with the artificial hare is announced at Gilroy for July 6th. Really good dogs are rarely turned down with tbe artificial hare. It 6oon makes them cunning or takes all spirit out of them. On Friday of last week Mr. William Lumbard of Wheat- land lost his pointer dog Ponto, a full brother to Mr. Austin B. Sperry's Count Dick. Tbe dog was run over by a railway train while crossing the bridge below Wheatland. Ponto was whelped on October 4, 18S8, by James K (Bow Jr.— Mol- lis Ashe) out of Donna (Eldon Don— Fnrsdon Juno), and was a dog of rare form, much beauty and high field promise. He won first at tbe Pacific Kennel Club Show in 1889 But two dogs of the breeding are alive, Mr. Sperry's at Stockton and Mr. Sam Enoch's at Wheatland. The dam of Ponto was poisoned a few months ago, so that the cross cannot again be made. Mpjor Ksllogg, two gun cases, three grip sacks, a sample box of Selby Standard Cartridges, a gingham umbrella, and a downcast air, returned to this City from Portland on Juoe 29th by the steamship Columbia, of which that inveterate and superb shot, Jno. B. Maynard has for so maDy years been purser. Major kellogg is almost weaned from his firBt love, San Francisco. He exhausts superlatives in telling of the friendliness of Baell Lamberson, "Boss" Schenck, H. T. That most excellent bench show judge and considerate waiter, Mr. James Watson, who visited Sin Francisco in '88, sayB in Forest and Stream: "There is quite a kick among the Pacific Kennel Club members over the admission of the California Kennel Club to membership in the A. K. C. They should not be unreasonable, but remember that they are not Iikeiy to hold a show this year at least, and exhibitors should not be deprived of the opportcnity of getting a show if an- other club desires to give one. I will guarantee to say that if a club in any Eistern city announced that it would not hold a show in 1891, and another club from the same city appeared for membership, it would be elected by the A. K. C." The following circular has been sent to members of tb# O. C. C, and we hope may meet generous responses: San Francis* o, June loth, 1S90. Dear Sir:— At a late meeting of the Occidental Coursing Club, Mr. S. L. Abbot Jr., proposed that the club start a voluntary subscription list, to purchase a trophy, to be con- tested (or at the next fall meeting of the club, as an incentive to members to purchase and keep good greyhounds. The amount the club can afford to offer for prizes, out of the small revenue it derives from initiations and dues, is poor compen- sation (even to the winners) for the expense and trouble of getting greyboundB in proper condition to win. The above gentleman's proposition seemed to meet the ideas of all pres- ent; for, in a few minutes after the list was opened, the fol- lowing members subscribed five dollars each: S. L. Abbot Jr., T. J. O'Keeffe, J. B. Lincoln, H. Wormington, H Boyd, P. D. Nolan, Col. S. O. Gregory, J. F. Carroll, and two others —total, $50. If yon feel disposed to subscribe to tbe above fund, you will please notify the Secretary as soon as possible. Subscriptions payable on or before November 1st, 1890. J. F. Carroll, Secretary, Third and Berry Streets, Editor Breeder and Sportsman: In Mr. Peshall's slander- ous letter alluded to in your issue of last week, he saw tit to accuse me of fraud, dishonesty and trickery in manipulating the funds of the American Kennel Club, and of submitting an untrue statement of tbe finances of tbe clnb for the year 18S9- The charges contained in this letter are too ridiculous and absurd too answer. To all who know me personally as the secretary of the American Kennel Clnb, I desire to state publicly that it is only a short time ago .that Mr. Peshall urged me to accept a position of trust and confidence under a high railroad official (tbe president of the Lehigh Valley R. R. Co.), to whom he (Peshall) bad recommended me as a person not only competent, bnt one who would be valuable to him. On consultation with Mr. Belmont I decided to re- main with the American Kennel Club At the time of this high recommendation by Mr. Peshall, he knew as much about my method of transacting the aflVrs of the club as he does to-day, and this is sufficient proaf th it ha does not really believe his own statements. He has coined absolutely, and without one particle of troth, phrases and statements never used by me, and the very idea of which never crossed my mind. This is done to build an argument known to him to be false, malicious and without a shadow of foundation, bnt serving at any cost his hatred of the American Kenn*-! Clnb and its officers. Ma. Peshall vilifies me and the officers of the club I represent. He maligns and insults the auditing committee, knowing full well before bis letter is published that at least one member of the committee bad protested against that portion of hi* statement referring to the person- al examination and ^certification of the correctness of my books and accounts. Therefore, in order that this matter may be sifted to the bottom, I have preferred charges against Mr. Peshall and have asked for his perm men t disqualifica- tion. A. P. Yredenburgh. New York. Pursuant to the call of Major J. M. Taylor, a number of EDglish setter men gathered at the rooms of the A. K. C, 44 Broadway, on Tuesday, June 24th, tn organize the new club. Those present were: Messrs. J. Tredwell Richards, Peroy C. Ohl, Thomas H. Terry, J. C. Long. Wilson Fiske, W. Tallman, Maj >r Taylor and Dr. H.Clay Glover. Mr. J. T. Richards was made temporary chairman. The officers appointed bo far are: President, Pierre Lorillard Jr.; Vice- Presidents, J. Treadwell Richards, —tbe other appointment being left vacant till the English Setter Clnb of America can be communicated with, and if consolidation is agreed upon, a mamber of tneir clab will be given the office.

E Dager, Wilson Fiske and another from the Massachusetts club as agreed upon. Tbe name chosen for the new club is "The English Setter Clnb". The following committee was appointed to formulate a standard and report to the Executive Committee: Messrs. Taylor, Bryson, Lor- illard, Tallman and Fiske. A committee was appointed, consisting of Messrs. Taylor, Ohl and Vredinborgh, to con- eider means and confer with tbe English Setter Club of America, with a view to consolidation and report tbe result to tbe Executive Committee. The executive committee adopted a constitution, and was further instructed to adopt by-laws. The initiation fees are to be $o and annual dues the same, no reduction for charter members. There was a meeting of the Executive Com- mittee, Thursday, July 3rd., at Mr. Ohl'a office, 48 Broadway, New Xork City, to receive report of Consolidation Committee, when further action will be taken. It now lies with the Massachusetts division of the English setter com- munity to decide whether they will join hands. As we ' there is a feeling among several of the influential me: of the older club favoring amalgamation, there is little that such will be tbe peaceful solution of what pi to be at first a battle royal. 596 %ht %xtz&tx and jSportemm July 5 The coursing community will hear with great regret that the famous trainer Archie Cokediel recently at li*s resHenc, the famous Arm3 Hotel, Birkdale, Hampshire, Eog. He had been in declining health during the past sis months, ao tbat his death was not altogether unexpected. The Birkdale kennels, over which he.presided for the pasf quarter of a century, year after year turned out some of the foremost greyhounds in the country. His most famous success wbb the division of the Waterloo Cup with the kennel mates, Herschel and Greater Scot. Greentick and MacPherson also did him good service in the field and at the stud. His prin- cipal employers were the late Mr. T.D. Hornby, Mr. R. F. Gladstone. Mr. Jas. Bassel, Mr. G. Robison, Mr. G. Hall- goth, Mr. E. V. Mather, and several othfr prominent sports- men. The kennel will no doubt be kept on under the cara of his son, Mr. J^hn Coke, whose abilities both as trainer and judge are well known; ROD. Tha Fish Commission. The July meeting of the Board was held at the rooms of the Labor Bareau, 220 Salter street, City at 2 r. m. on Tues- day last, both President Routier and Hon. J. Downey Har- vey being present. The minutes of the preceding meeting were approved. The report of Chief of Tatrol Callundan for June was then read as fjllows: The Honorable the Board of Fish Commissioners— Gentlemen:— If the report of the Chief of Patrol for the month of June seems meagre, it may be said in explanation that with the slight force of Deputies now in commission, it is quite impossible to properly watch outlying districts where violations of the law are most likely to occur. The markets of San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, San Jose and Los Angeles can be kept under constant supervision, and it is believed that in all of the cities mentioned dealers in game and fish have rigidly observed the law. In the smaller cities and in the country towns an1 villages it is al- together probable that unseasonable game and fish have been sold. It is generally known that salaries are paid to but two Deputy Fish Commissioners, all of the rest serving without pay or reward from the State, their only emolument being a portion of such fines as may be levied after prosecutions in- stituted by them. It is creditable alike to the energy and public spirit of many of your Deputies that despite the in- adequacy of their recompense, thev yet continue actively engaged in tbe work to which this Honorable Board has in- vited them, and that tbey have accomplished a very great deal is known to all whose interest has led them to consider the reports made to this Board from time to time, and the statements which have appeared in the press throughout the State. The great diminution of the Eaw dust evil is due solely to the efforts of unpaid Deputies; tha practical cessa- tion of dealing io doe skins is due almost entirely to the activity of unpaid Daputies; the freedom of the markets from trout during the close season may also be credited to the unrewarded Deputies. If the fands of your Honorable Com- mission permitted tne maintenance of a body of inspectors or game wardens at reasonable salaries, it is probable that more might be done than is at present being accomplished, but without such a force it is not easy to see how the present condition of things can be improved. During June our efforts have been put forth to stop the marketing of deer be- fore Jaly 1st. Ten or twelve complaints have reached the Chief of Patrol during the month about persons said to be slaughtering deer; each of tbe complaints ha3 been investigated and in several instances it has been established as a moral certainty that deer have been improperly killed but no eye witness to the killing ould be found in any case, nor could men be procured to go into court and convict those who were suspected. It is believed that many complaints that have reached the deputies are made in a Bpiteful spirit, with a hope th it some grievance, real or fancied, may be avenged by making trouble for the offender. Of the brown quail distributed some months ago, many have become accli- mated and have prodaced. There Beems good reason to be- lieve that the attempt to introdace them will be successful. The Supervisors have changed the game law in Lake County so that the open season for quail is from August 20 to March 1, and for deer from June 1st to October 15th. The chaDge was unknown to the deputies until they began to investigate complaints from Lake County that deer were being killed in June. On Jane 6:h, 7th aud 8th Marin County was tra- versed more with the idea of warning the hotel keepers who have been in the habit of entertaining poachers who killed deer out of season than in the hope of taking anybody in the act of deer killing. On June 10th the Harbor View Fishery and the two or three little fishing camps toward the Presi lio were visited, complaint having been made that small fish were being taken thf re. Well equipped plants for catching sardines and anchovies were found, and it was learned that some few small fish were killed during the capture of those m tst desirable; not enough, however, to justify any alarm. On JuEe 14th the Contra Coista line as far as Martinez was inspsoted without detecting any illegitimate fishing. The 17th was spoilt at Napa from which city complainlB have come tbat shad and trout and other fish were being netted with small mesh nets. Examination on the ground proved tbat tbe complaints were made in error. Sheriff McKenzie of Napa County professed eymwathy with the work of your honorable commission and pledged himself to enforce the game and fUn laws vigorously. Mr. Holden of the Sawyer Tanning Company of Napa stated that Mr. Lobree of Cuvelo was willing to pay a fine of $50 for violating the law about the possession of hides now under seizure at the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad yard. The matter is one for your consideration and advice On June 23d Daputy TuDBtead eeizsd a package of deer skins eonsigned to B. F Sawyer by Meyer & Co. of Healdsburg, evidences of sex baviog been removed from many of the hides. The hides are held subject to the direction of your Honorable Board. Deputy W. H Talbot of Santa Cruz re- por's that he and Deputies Googin and Batlow are devoting as much time to tbe work of the commission as their private io erests permit. Notices embodying the substance of the f? me and fish laws are being distributed throughout Santa ( ruz Co. by the Deputies at the instance of the Santa Cruz od and Gun Club, an active and useful organization. Re- peated complaints come that Chinese fishermen along the n Joaqain river and its various slonghs and channels are d.nly violating the fish laws and it is respectfully suggeated that Deputies be sent to tbat neighborhood and tbe abuse be stopped; Respectfully submitted, F. P. Callundan, Chief of Patrol. The suggestion of Mr. Callundan that more salaried Dep- uties be appointed was commented upon by Commissioner Harvey who stated that with the fuuds at hand the Board was doiogall that could be done. If a proper appreciation of the importance of the work of the Fish Commission could be generally disseminated and a sufficiently strong public sentiment could be brought to bear upon the Legislature to increase the Fish Commission appropriation, the Board would undoubtedly be able and glad to do more than could be done at present. Several communicationa of no special interest were then read. Mr. Thos. Tunstead presented a bill for $547 for services rendered as a Deputy Fish Commissioner. Inquiry revealed the fact that neither President Routier nor Commissioner Harvey had employed Mr. Tunstead nor bad either authorized his employment as Deputy Fish Commis- sioner at a salary. Mr. Tunstead in his own behalf stated that he had been employed by the Chief of Patrol and had devoted himself faithfully to the performance of his duties with the clear understanding between himself and the Chief of Patrol that he was to be paid $75 per month. He had patrolled the city front daily for months and felt that he had done his duty. Commissioner Harvey in response said that if the Chief of Patrol had employed Mr. TunBtead without authority from the Board, the latter should look to his em- ployer for payment. Mr. Tunstead then entered upon a heated statementin which he charged that the Chief of Patrol and Deputies had been guilty of malfeasance in office suf- ficient to stamp those mentioned as unfit to hold office UDder the Fish Commission or anywhere else. Mr. Tunstead claimed to have in his possession conclusive proofs of all he said and threatened to defeat what he claimed to be the polit- icaraspiration of the Chief of Patrol by the use of the doc- uments and proofs mentioned. Commissioner Harvey stated that he knew no reason why any member of the Commission or any one of its Deputies or employees should not be inves- tigated if charged with irregularity, and he invited Mr. Tun- stead to set a time at which formal charges against the Dep- uties mentioned could be presented to the Board and inves- tigated. After some consideration Mr. Tunstead selected Tuesday July 8th as the day npon which he would present charges, at 2 o'clock p. m. in Room 13 at 220 Sutter Street. With reference to the charge made by oae of the daily papers that nets with meshes too small were being used on the Sac- ramento River, Deputy J. D. Ennis stated that he and Dep- uty Curley had recently inspected and measured the meshes of all the fishing uets in use from the mouth of the Feather River to Rio Vista on the Sacramento and had found none too small. The Board then adjourned until Tuesday next at 2 p. m; The Tiburon fishing grounds appear to be played out. Smelt are running very freely at Sausalito and at the old Oakland wharf. "Pop" Chapin spent the day on the Oakland wharf and managed to laud about thirty pounds of fine smelt. Donner Lake is covered with boats containing fishermen these days. There is no way of telling the number of trout that are caught daily. Two railroad men caught250 recently, and many other big catches were made. Sunday last, although during the forenoon the bay was rough and the wind strong, some of tbe beBt catches of rock cod made this year so far were had by the fishermen who visited Sausalito, Lime Point and Tiburon. Two brothers who reside in this city took a boat at Sausa- lito and rowed over to Lime Point, where, in a couple of hours, they Bucceedei in hooking over one hundred pounds of rock cod, nearly all of which were very small, the largest not weighing more than one pound. A packing case reached this office on Wednesday laBt marked "Petrouella", from Captain Thos. H. Chubb the rod and tackle factor at Post Mills, Vt. The package was duly transmitted and will doubtlesB do excellent Berviceand be highly appreciated. Rock-cod are alarmingly scarce this season, chiefly, we suppose, on account of the very wet winter. Owing to the heavy flow of freBh water into the bay from the surrounding country, the rock cod have abandoned their old grounds, and it is bnt very recently that the bay anglers have been at all successful in making fair catches. An acceptable application of aluminum to the needs of the fly fisher has recently been presented to the atten'iou of anglers by Dr. Redheld, of Providence, R. I. He us-s alumi- num foil for the tinBel bodies of such flies as tbe "Silver Doc- tor," "Alexandria," etc , and has very kindly sent me some to experiment with. This I have done, and find it in every way satisfactory. Silver tinsel tarnishes very soon whether the fly be used or retained in the fly book. Tbe contact of the tingerB or the most infinitesimal particle of sulphur in the air (from the coal stove) whilst using silver tinsel is sure to begin a discoloration which ends in the bright tinsel beooming hideously black. Not so with aluminum. The Pittsburg Reduction Co., to whom I am indebted for valuable information and samples of this metal, assert that it is not acted on by air or by water, nor by conoentra'ed sulphuric or nitric acids, nor by sulphuretted hydrogen, oarbonjc oxide, sulphurous acid or other sulphur vapor. It is also practi- cally unaffeoted by common salt, either wet or dry, or by sea water or weak solutions of salt in acetic acid. Apparently this metal ranks pretty near to gold in its invulnerability. Now I purpose experimenting with a view to using this light, elastic and untarnishing metal for reels, ferules, guides, fly books and artificial fish baits — especially those intended to come in contact with salt water. The chief difficulty in sea angling with a rod aud reel is the highly oxidizing character of the water. No steel fittings will resist it, and brasB and German silver are equally soon rusted. Apparently, alumi* num is the desideratum we have been looking for. — Week's Sport. [If our contemporary could have the pleasure of inspeoting the stock of tackle at Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co*s., he would find aluminum reels in plenty, of varionB pat'erns and sizes. Some five years ago the firm., at instance of the An- gling Editor of the Breeder and Sportsman, aud after speci- fications made by him, had constructed an aluminum reel, with flush handle, raised pillars and click. The reel to hold one hundred yardB of silk line weighed two ounces and a quarter. That reel has become the standard among Califor- n iii us, and many scores of them have been made and sold. The original reel is still in use and perfect condition, al- though it has seen hard servica each season. It is perfection itself for the fly fisherman. — Ang.

SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1890. HUBSCRIPTION FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR. A Leaf From Life. [Written for the Breeder and Spobtbman by Harvey Ward Peck.] One night, several years ago, four of us held down dress circle chairs in the Baldwin theatre. It was a first night, and the opera waB Wagner's "Siegfried." The house was com- fortably 611ed, and as the reporters of the daily press are wont to express it, "the flower and teanty of the Four Hundred were present," apparelled in that pretentious garb that is a distinguishing feature between upper tendom and the "great unwashed." Siegfried," as everyone knows, contains some of the most delightful melodies that its great composer has thus far evolved. In the midBt of this opera occurs "the Wald- weben" — those sylvan mnrmurirjgsof young leaves and little shivering bre-zes; rustling of reeds about a pool; gnrliog of hidden brooks round smooth stones and mossed roots, where the long-leaved cresses sway and rock in the brown current. Surely the musical coloring of "the Waldweben" is above reproach. At least to said Hoffman, and no one ever disa- grees with Hoffman; he is a recognized authority. At the close of this melody, while the audience were recov- ering from the rapt and strained positions they had assumed, a man came slowly down the aisle and took the seat next my own. He was about sixty years of age, smoothly shaven and neatly dreBsed. When his eyes encountered mine -which occurred immediately upon his taking his seat— I noticed they were dark and pierciDg. but they failed to see me! This would Beem anomalous if unexplained. His eyes had that vacant, shifting expression, seen only in those whose minds are blank, or at best partially so. He sat very quietly, arose with the rest, and filed slowly out at the conclusion As the crowd spread ont upon Market street, he seemed to momentarily hesitate. Finally he started up Market, and as far as I conld see, he plodded along with that machine-like methodical step which is characteristic of the mentally weak. "Well," said Hoffman, addressing our party, "let's go to the Louvre and eat some of those diabolically sour sausages ?" After we had surrounded one of the tables, and while a waiter is procuring "sour sausages for four," I will introduce the party. Hoffman was a man of perhaps thirty, a Kentuckian by birth, a Bohemian by occupation, and an all-round literary and musical critic of recognized ability. He was very quiet, talked little, and was devoid of eccentricities. BrowDley was about thirty-five, a handsome fellow, a man of fine education, and had the reputation of always being equal to an emergency. He was connected with two dailies, was a brilliant and versatile writer, and was equally at home at the swellest gathering or amid the festive gambols of "de gang" way down south of Market, where Tim Milligan (pugi- list and all-round tough) one night placed his arm affection- ately round Brownley's neck, as he inquired: "Young feller, are ye wid me or agin me?'' Brownley's reply was so abso- lutely diplomatic, that Tim continued in husky tones (made bo by whisky that would take the point off a wagon): "Young feller, yer white goods; come long— Miss Gould, Mr. Dusen- berry — now Dusenbeny (speaking confidentially toBrownley) thiB is Jay's daughter and my gal; she's awful fine goo-3s, warranted ter wash and not shrink. She's a bang-up dancer and handy in a scrap, don't yer never forgit it— Miss Gould, Mr. Dnsenterry," and Tim swaggered off. Brownley proved bo agreeable to "Jay's daughter," that she assured Milligan, after the dance was over, "that I a heap rather have him nor you, only he can't fight none, I don't suppose." The third member of our crowd was Sam McLaughlin. Everybody knew Sam. If they did not, they were looked upon as freaks. Sam was a horseman and turf-writer. Sam was very witty, very droll, and the best story teller upon earth. In his younger days he had been educated for the priesthood, and in pursuit of that knowledge, which would fit him for bo exalted a position in this temporal life, Sam was sent to Europe. H9 traveled from St. Petersburg to Madrid, from Holland to Turkey. He used to tell of his pilgrimage with the Archbishop to Cairo, where they viewed the pyra" mids and stared at the sphinx; while at Joppa they went to see the supposed site of the house of Simon, where St. Peter had his visions. In Jerusalem they trod the soil of that storied place, saying mass in turn at the sepulcher of Christ; on the Mount of Olives; on Calvary and at Bathlehem. Sam evinced great delight in telling of the devotional attitude the mules assumed while the Archbishop said mass. At Paris he deserted the Reverend Father, and with a party of Bohemian artists from the Latin Quarter, returned to Egypt. They floated down the historic Nile for 150 miles, accompanied by a return of Arab servants, when they landed. Sam gave the boat a kick down stream, and it drifted away toward the Sou- dan. The party returned to Alexandria in palanquins borne by the Arabian carriers. By the time Sam reached the United States, his religious inclinations were not very Blrong, while his preconceived convictions that he was not destined for the priesthood were unyielding. Be that as it may, had Sam become a priest, a great horseman would have been lost to us, and had he not become a horseman, a great priest would have passed his life in cloistered prayer at St. Michael's! I, myself, would hesitate between the two — especially the second ! What then could be expected of Sam ? As the waiter brought the Eour sausages (which I heartily despise), and had inquired in that conciliary tone for which waiters are notorious, whether we would have ale or porter. McLaughlin said, addressing me: "You noticed that man in the theatre to-night? Sat next to you?" "I did." "He's gone wrong. If you care to hear, I'll tell you about him. His name is Morris, and when I first knew him, he was a bright man. He had a nice family and a good home. He came here from Ohio in 18j0; made some money in the mines, and finally gravitated into the real estate business way up Montgomery — which was then the center of business, you know — and he made quite a stake and built a house on Fol. som street, the then swell residence quarter. Morris always had a liking for a trotter, and always had a pretty good horse. As heflour'shed financially, he kept pace by getting better horses, until in 1873 he had a young mare that he had bred himself, that could make the circuit in 22 or 23, and come with her blankets. You bet that was a whole lot faster then than 'tin now. We were over in the woods near San Rafael when Morris first told me about his planB and the speed of the mare. He calculated she could trot three or four heats belter th9n 2:20, and I guess she could — she was a bird--and she was a good aotor besides. The old man said he intended taking the mare East, and trotting right through the Grand Circuit. He figured that the mare could not lose, in the slow classes, right through. He confided to me that be intended to borrow a lot of money on his property and play his mare for plenty whenever she started. I thought he had a bon- anza, for I tell you that the horses for the free-for-all east of the Rockies that could beat the mare were mighty scarce, so it looked like he had the purses already won. Well, boys, we sat there and talked and built air castle3 till the sunset faded, the woods grew dim and cold, and in the their dark depths a night bird began bis tremulous song, that grew clearer and purer as he sing. There wasn't any half hour boats in those days, and we came home in a sailboat. Our conversation occurred in March, and in April we were going acro3s the mountains— for I was going to drive the mare. To simplify matters, we got there all right, with the mare in good condition. We didn't have Arm's patent cars either— nor any other patent but our own— but, as I say, we got there right Bide up never, theless. We stoppad at Detroit, and for a month and a half I simply jogged the mare, with an occasional brush. She was in fine shape, and one moonlight night we tried her out in 2:18£, and bless your life, she went easy. Nobody ever saw the mare move a mile letter than 2;33 or 2:34, and I don't think they thought she cculd go much faster, if any. She was the first trotter that went across from the state to take part in Eastern races. Goldsmith Maid made her mark the npxt year and Dexter still held the trotting record. Cali- fornia horses were unknown, and therefore not respected. On the 16th day of June 1874. we entered the mare in a race with Chicago, a horse known afterwards by two or three different names— came out here several years after; Clara G., a bay mare bred in Canada, that had made a record of 2:26 in 1871, and Suburb, a sorrell gelding that could go a mile in 2:25 or thereabouts, I think, in 2:25, if I remember correct- ly. Chicago, the old devil, had a record of 2;24$, that he captured in 1S68, and was a pretty good horse, and a great stayer." I have been thus particular that you all might see that the mare had a walk-over. Not a sucker among 'em seemed to think that my mare had any chance. They made Clara G. favorite, Suburb second choice, Chicago third, and my mare — by the by, her name was Josephine — brought up the rear. Pools sold lika wile-fire at $200 for choice, and when they got eager they went to $300, with Suburb at $150* Chicago $75, and Jo, as we always called her, at about $50 to1 $60. The old man bought most every pool sold on the mare, and before the fir^t heat got in a thousand at average, odds of seven to one. When the bell rang Morns walked up the stretch with me. We were going to lose the first heat so Morris could get in his other thousand at better odds than the first. He left here with something over $2,000, about $2,500 probably. Suburb won the first beat, Clara second, Chicago third and the mare last. The time was 2:25 and they all tried for the heat but me. The betting was not much changed and Morris pTt in the other thousand- He then stool to win about $14,500 if the mare won. As we scored for the second heat I was thinking what part I would get. After we got away I sent the mare along, and the way Bhe moved by that party I will never forget. When we were well into the backstretoh I had a clear lead of five lengths, and I won the heat in a jog in 21 J, shutting out Chicago. You never heard such a howl. They waited on the Judges — swore the mare most be a ringer; wanted me distanced for not driving for the first heat, and how miny other things I cannot now recall. The Judge* were honest, and were in for giving me a square deal, and I got it. The way they hedged would make a strong mun weep. I won easily in 2:23}, with nary a bors<* within six lengths. You can judge how we felt! Fourteen thousand sure, and no chance to get away. Morris and I shook bnnds every time we met, while be hugged the mare in the excess of his de- light. The Judges called me into the stand and asked me if I wouldn't show the crowd a fast mile the next heat, for they knew she could go faster than she had shown. Having been protected by them I could not refuse. When we left the wire the last heat I cut the mare loose and went up to the half in :09 and calculated to finish as well. As I was round, ing the upper turn I could see the others fifty yards back. I was well into the stretch, with Josephine at about her best clip, when like lightning out of a clear Bky, the mare stopped, Bmall clods flew through the air like hail, and I was thrown partially on to the mare and partly out of the sulky. I was duzed for an instant, but through my mind kept running the thought. I must not get distanced, I must not get distanced. As I scrambled back into the sulky Clara G went by. and a Becond later Superb. I grabbed the lines and fait the mare a crack with the whip. She simply threw her head up an 1 down, up and down, and refused to move. I hit hei and she hobbled forward a step and then stopped. I lenr forward and saw what I took for one fore foot held in Ihe i. Just at this juncture I heard the bell ring and groaned alo as I knew I was shut out. I saw MorriB running down * . ■ ■■MK! %\it |pmte mxd jlipxrrisraatu July 12 track toward me, and as I got oat he arrived, breathless, and white as a wall. We both simultaneously saw the trouble! The mare had fractured her front cannon bone and the end stuck through the skin and there she stood in mute agony. The same thought evidently possessed us both, and we turned without a word to look for the cause. A couple of steps behind the sulky was a hole where the crust of the track h»d broken through and the dirt was soft beneath. That did the business for us. The crowd had now reached da and those who had cuiraed Us the loudest were the most profuse in their sympathy. Some one brought a spade, and I found that a gopher had tlDdermined the track, and done us irreparable injury. I hGver will forget the look on Storris face, as he stood apath- etically by Josephine's side. His hands hung by his sides and the light seemed to fade out of his eyes. I didn't feel very chipper myself, but I roused up, got a vet, and had the mare's leg put in plaster, though I think there is better treat- ment now. In two months she was well, and I sold her to a breeder of trotters for $2500, about one-tenth what she was worth if sound. I brought the money back and gave it to Morris' wife. The nest morning after the race, I met MorriB at the breakfast table. He smiled pathetically and inquired, in a low tone. "Do you think Josephine can win to-day t\ I looked at him sharply and encountered the same look in hiB eye that has been there ever since, and a cold feeling ran down my back. The man was daft! The sudden change from the summit of equine fame to the possession of a crip- pled mare; from plenty of money to a $2000 indebtedness, had turned his head. Since tho^e days his property has made him rich. He recognizes but few people, is always quiet, and of those he addresses at all, he invari-ibly aBks, cautiously, "Do you think Josephine can win to-day?" The Tacoma Meeting. Two or three weeks ago we announced that the Morgan Memorial Speeding Park would be opened on July 1st for a racing meeting consisting of five days, and as the purses weie large and the entries likely to be productive of much sport, a special correspondent of the Breeder and Sports- man was sent to Tacoma for the purpose of letting our read- ers know how the sport of the Kings is conducted on the Sjuod. He writes as follows: Between 2,000 aDd 2,500 people gathered together at the race track on Tuesday, July 1st. for the purpose of inaugurating the first meeting of 1890. One o, clock was the hoar appointed for the opening of the sport, and at that time a large attendance was on hand to witness the first event on the programme, consisting of a free for-all novelty running race. However, for some reason it was long after two o'clock before the run- ners appeared on the track, the entries being Little Maud, Tim Murphy, Tom Daly, Regal, Ben L., Bed Bird and Quil- icine. There was a large number of pools sold, an average of which would be about as follows: Cy Mulky's Daly and Mnrpuy coupled $35, field $10. The race was very unin- teresting, as Tim Murphy w*»s first at the quarter and first at the half, while Tom Daly led at the three-quarters and also at the finish. The time as given out was, first quarter twenty-five seconds, half mile fifty-two seconds, three-quar- ters 1:17 j, mile 145J, The purse was therefore divided as follows: tirst quarter $6o, half mile §80, three-quarters of mile £95, mile $165; total $400. A running race for a purse of S250, three quarter mile heats, was next in order. The entries being Raindrop, Hot- spur and Sorrel Dan. Oceanica and Oregonian were also en- tered, but their owners scratched them out of the race. Poole prior to the first heat sold Raindrop £20, Hotspur $10, Sorrei Dan $3. When the flag fell, Sorrel Dan with Carlton on hie back immediately took tbe lead, but the pace was too much for him evidently, as he was soon headed by Raindrop, who with Holman up had no difficulty in winning in 1:17$, Hotspur making a spurt coming down the stretch and was only beaten a nuse, Sorrel Dan being at least seven or eight lengths behind. For the 2nd heat the hag fell to a very good start, tbe three getting away insplendid order. At the quarter Sorrel Dan fell oehind, leaving the finish to Hotspur and Raindrop: young Dennison on the Californian horse made a grand finisnand beat Raindrop by half a length. Time 1:16.1. The pool selling which had been rather slow at the beginning of the 2nd heat now assumed greater proportion as those who had wagered heavily on Raindrop were anxious to hedge, and Hotspur was an immense favorite, selling for $35 to $5 only for the field. In the 3d heat the hard work already gone through with told peroeptibly on Raindrop, and Hot- Hpnr had no difficulty in winning by a dozen lengths in 1:18*. Tne pacing race for the 2:40 clasB for which a purse of $600 was offered, brought to the post Rosie B., Mink, Harry T. (formerly Hugh Patrick) and Sleepy Tom. The heat was an uneventful one as Rosie C. won quite handily, Harry T. 2d, Sleepy Tom 3rd with Mink a bad 4th. Time 2:22£. In the 2d heat Miok got the beet of the Bend off and was soon lending with plenty of space between her and Sleepy Tom, who was second in the procession. At the turn Rosie 0. crawled slowly up to Sleepy Tom, and at this moment Mink and Rosie C. broke badly, Tom keeping his feet and putting a long distance between him and his opponents before they settled down. Harry T. paced well and finally passed Sleepy Tom, Harry winning the heat with Mink second, Sleepy Tom 3d and Rosie C. last. For the third heat Roses Ci was an immense favorite, although Mink still had many fol- lowers. At the wcrd Mink took the lead with Rosie C: close up; They paced along to the quarter where Harry T. got into a pocket and again broke badly, and when his driver finally settled him the others were two dis- tances to the good. RoBie C. led at the turn and also into the home stretch, winning the heat easily by four lengths with Mink second, Sleepy Tom third and Harry T. fourth. Time, 2:28'. Quite a little breeze was created at the end of this beat by Mr. Burton, driver of Miok, who outspokenly declared that the man who held the distance flag hud been driven out of California on account of crookedness. This arose from the fact that he declared that Harrv T. was distanced in the third heat, the distant judges said that the horse was not, and consequeolly he was allowed to start in tbe fourth heat. Notwithstanding the fact that Harry T. had shown up so poorly in the laBt heat, he won this one easily, Rosie C. being 2nd, Sleepy Tom 3rd, Mink being set back for run- ning. Time 2:26f. The 5th heat was paced amid considerable excitement. Sawyer who was substituted for Burton drove Mink under the wire winner, Sleepy Tom 2nd, Rosie C. 3rd and Harry T. 4th. Time 2:27. For the 6th heat Sawyer was enabled by skillful driving to bring Mink in first, Harry T. being 2nd, and Rosie G. 3rd. At the termination of this heat great excitement prevailed and it was now so dark that the judges deemed it expedient to postpone the race until the following day; they announcing from the stand that the 7th heat would be paced at 1 p. m. sharp. Second Day, Wednesday, July 2nd. Owing to a great change in the atmosphere the attendance on Wednesday was not so good as that on the day preceding, there not being to exceed 1500 persons present. The first event of the day being the finish of the pacing race for the 2:40 class which had been postponed from the day previous. The three horses left in the race, Harry T., Rosie C. and Mink each had their supporters, and after a hardly con- tested heat Rosie C. proved the winner. Time 2:26J. The regular programme of the day was a fairly good one and commenced with a purse of $400 for the 2:27 class of trotters. The entries were Siphon, Maud Knox and Katie Ham. It took six heats to decide this race notwithstanding the fact that Siphon was distanced in the first heat, Maud Knox winning the first and second in 2:33£ and 2:31 A. Katie Ham took the 3rd and 4th in 2:37 and 2:30. In the 5th heat Maud Knox was under the wire tirst but the judges declared it no heat, owiDg to a technical objection having been made but Katie Ham won the 6th heat and the race in 2:33}. The 2:35 trotting class was productive of only three start- ers, Joe M., Delcho and Coquette. Joe M. won the first and third heats in 2:29* and 2:3H. but Delcho proved to have the most endurance by winning the 2d, 4th and 5th heats in 2:29£, 2:30 and 2:30J. The three-minute trotters were tbe next to make an ap- pearance for a purse of $400, there being six starters as fol- lows: Carrie A., Jjucy Golddust, Wonder, Delia A., Hannibal, Jr. and Harry Howe. The first and second heats were taken by Harry Howe in 2:284 and 2:31, and owing to the darkness the judges postponed the balance of the race until the fol- lowing day. Third Day— Thursday, July 3rd. The final heat of the three-minute purse was trotted to- day, which resulted in Harry Howe winnipg the third heat aud race in 2:34}, Hannibal Jr. taking the second money and Wonder third. The first event on the regular programme of the day wan a running race of a mile and a quarter for a purse of $350, S50 to second horse. The entries were Hotspur, Coloma, Tom Daly and Broadchurch but as the event was considered a foregone conclusion in favor of Broadchurch, the Directors of the Association gave Mr. Jones, bis owner, $150 to with- draw his horse and still gave the original amonnt of the purse to the starters. Hotspur got off a little in the lead but was qoickly overtaken by Tom Daly who won as he pleased in '2 -All, Hotspur second and Coioma third. The next event on the card was a running race, five-eighths of a mile foe- two-year-olds, the purse being $250. The starters were Sinfax, Misty Morn, Mabel M. and Ben Martin. The race was a good one although the time waB rather slow, Sinfax proving victor with MiBty Morn second. Time, 1:05. The last race of the day was a trotting contest for the 2:25 class for a purse of $400, tbe starters being Katie Ham, Maud Knox, Alta and Stemwinder. Owing to the predeliction of two of the entries to run, Maud Knux was given the first heat notwithstanding she came in third; on account of the running indulged in, the judges announced that no time would be given. Katie Ham had no difficulty in defeating her opponents in the next three heats, time being 2:30|, 2:28* and 2:30. Fourth Day. Friday, July 4th. Being a holiday and perfect weather coupled with a first- class programme, induced over 2,500 people" to visit the Park on the fourth day of the meeting. An Indian poDy race for a purse of $100 was the prelimin- ary attraction, there being fivd starters, the victor turning up in Black Feet, Sleepy Dan being second and "Yakima third. Time, 2:06. The three-quarters of a mile dash was the next event, it being a speoial race between Raindrop, Broadchurch and Mohawk, the owners of which put up 5100 each and the management $400, making $700 for the winner. It was orig- inally intended that Cy Malkey's Tim Murphy would start, but owing to a bad attack of "John Barley Corn," Mulky's rider was unable to sit in the saddle, and' consequently Cy had to declare his entry out. Raindrop proved the winner with Mohawk second. Time, 1:184-. The third race of the day was the 2:30 pacers, the starters being Rosie C, Sleepv Tom and Mollie Cooper. Rosie C won in straight heats in 2:25, 2:27$ and 2:24. The concluding race of the day was for the 2:50 trotting clasB, purse $400, the starters being Joe Kenney, Harry Howe. Wonder, Carrie A, and Delia A. Nux was also a start- er, but after coming in fifth In tbe first heat, his owner was allowed to withdraw. Harry Howe won the first and second beats in 2:324 and 2:324, Joe Kenney winning the third, fourth and tilth heats in 2-254, 2:30£ and 2;30£. Fifth Day, Saturday, July 5th. The closing day of the meeting witnessed a very fair attendance although as would necessarily follow, Dot nearly as large as on the holiday preceeding. Taken all in all the Directors and management may be congratulated od the suc- cess of their initial meeting, and it is fair to presume that in future the attendance will be large, as the efforts put for- ward at this meeting have been duly appreciated by the public. The opening race of the day was for a purse of $350, mile and repoat. The entries being HotBpur with Dennison up, Coloino ridden by Bostillos and Broadchurch, who was piloted by Holman. The two former carried 115 Jdb., while the latter carried 113. Tbe race could hardly be called a contest, as Hotspur won both heats with ridiculous ease, the time nung up for each heat being exacily alike, 1 :43$. The second event on the card was a free-for-all pacing race for a purse of $350. The entries being Mink, Mollie Cooper and Harry T. Mink won the race in the 1st, 2nd and 5th heats. Time 2:244, 2:23* and 2:29; Mollie Cooper taking tho 3rd and 4th heats in 2:30, and 2:33, whild Harry T. waB distanced in the 2nd heat. Tbe free-for-all trotting race for a purse of $450 brought out Alta, Stemwinder aDd Maud Knox; Alta winning the 1st, 3rd and 4th heats in 2:31£, 2;27£ and 2:294; Stemwinder taking the 2nd heat in 2:29.1. The oonclnding race of the day was for the 2:40 class, trotting. The eutries being Delcho, HaDnibal Jr. and Carrie A. The race was a veritable walkover for Delcho in three straight heats; the time being 2:31 4, 2:33, and 2:37. List of Mares bred to Illustrious— Season of 1890.

On the afternoon of July 1st, a large concourse of specta- tors assembled at the Oakland Trotting Park to witness a series of trotting races, which bad been arranged by the Gentleman's Driving Association of Oakland, and to say that the affair waB a success is putting it mildly. The track was in fairly good cordition, while the day was all that could be deBired. It is only necessary to state that there were a great quantity of vehicles of all descriptions at the track; ladies and gentlemen turning out in great numbers in their private con- veyances to witness the sport of the afternoon. At a quarter after two o'clock the first race of the day was called, the judges being Messrs. Bellingall, Smith and Simpson; the timers being Messrs. Hines and Wilson. Owing to the rather leDg thy programme, which consisted of four events, the heats of the races were sandwiched so as to enable the programme to be trotted off in the one afternoon. For the 2:45 class there were six entries: P. R. Potter's Billy, D. C. BrowD's Sunrise, T. Rutherford's Sunset, R. B. Chisholm's Blue Bull, S. Martin's Stanhope, and W. W, White's Beauty. The first heat was won by Sunset in 2:43* the bay gelding beat Blue Bull by half a length for that honor. The second heat was taken by Mr. Chisbolm's entry in 2:41, although not without a hard tight with Sunrise. The third heat was a very easy one for Sunset, his only opponent being Sunrise. Time being same as in second heat. SUMMARY. T. Rutherford's b e Sunset i 4 j R. B. Obieholm's bs Blue Bull 2 1 3 D.C. Brown's b g Sunrise 4 2 2 Shelby Martin's b g Stanhope 5 5 4 W. w.

THE FARM. Fleuro-Pneumonia in America. Tlie Last Vestiges Almost Destroyed. An act was passed by Congress May 29, 1834, establishing a Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agricul- ture * 'to prevent the exportation of diseased cattle, and to provide means for the suppression and extirpation of pleuro- pneumonia and other contagions diseases among domestic animals." ..We will confine ourselves in this article to the work performed by the Bureau in the lung plague of cattle or pleuro-pneumonia, merely stating that the bureau has also investigated with great care hog cholera and other infectious diseases of swine, glanders, etc., in horses, and has done much to prevent the Bpread of these disease?. Pleuro-pneumonia was introduced into this country about fifty years ago by the importation of a cow having the dis- ease into the city of Brooklyn trom England. The disease spread through the counties of Kings and Queens, ani grad- ually forced its way west, notwithstanding many determined efforts to suppress it, until a systematic effort was made by the Bureau of Animal Industry in 1SS6 and '87 at Chicago to stop its advance. At that time the entire West, with its countless herds, was threatened with the dread disease; should it ever get a foot- ing among the immense droves of Colorado, Kansas and New Mexico, our cattle industry would probably be mined. Ap- preciating the vital importance of the situation, the Bureau of Animal Industry opened an office at Chicago with an efficient corps of veterinary surgeons, and an adequate force of assistants, and by a strict system of quarantine, by de- stroying all affected and exposed animals, and by carefully disinfecting all places where such animals had been, suc- ceeded in eradicating the plague from Illinois, so that although it was considered necessary for safety that the quorantine restrictions should be maintained until April 1, ■ 188S, the State wa^ practically free from the disease before November 1, 1887. The attention of the bureau was now called to the counties of Westchester, New York, Richmond and Kings and Queens; offices were also established at Baltimore, Philadelphia and Jersey City, and the herculean task simultaneously started to stamp out the plague in its very home and stronghold. The same system that prevailed at Chicago— though on an extended scale — was instituted in New York; affected and exnosed animals were appraised by the government apprais- ers, and purchased and destroyed by the officers of the bureau; all suspected buildings, yards, etc., were disinfected and a rigid quarantine drawn around the infected districts. The good effect of these stringent measures were soon appar- ent; the disease was extirpated from Westchester and Rich- mond counties during the summer and autumn of 1888, and its spread checked in Kings and Queens counties. During the latter part of 1888 the disease appeared in Orange county and caustd much alarm, this county being noted for its large herds of cattle, but fortunately being tak- en in hand on its 6rst outbreak, the spread of the plague stopped, and in a few months entirely disappeared from the county. It might be well, for a better understanding of the subject, to mention here that the plague can be much more easily handled in a grazing country where farmers and milkmen appreciate the efforts of the bureau, than it can be among the cow dealers and impecunious milkmen in the suburbs of Brooklyn and the adjoining towns in Queens County. Many of the small milk dealers also in Kings and Queens Counties are opposed to the bureau, as it prevents their changing cat- tle at pleasure, and compels them to keep their stock off the highways and commons; these people give great trouble and annoyance to che officers of the bureau in the necessary in- spection of cattle. Notwithstanding the many obstacles the bureau has had to contend with, it is gradually driving its enemy from the field. Maryland is free from lung plague, so is Philadelphia and New Jersey, with perhaps one or two isolated caBes in Hud- son county * the counties of Orange, New York, Westchester and Richmond, New York, are also delivered from the terrible disease. Contagious pleuro-pneumonia is now confined to a small district in Kings and Queens counties, and here it makes its last fight, but it cannot long withstand the deter- mined efforts of the bureau. By the following order of Secretary Rnsk of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, all cattle found running at large in the counties of Kings and Queens, are to be seized and destroyed, the bureau naying the owner the appraised value: "To all Owners of Cattle and Others: You will please take notice that in accordance with the Rules and Regulations made for the suppression of contagious diseases by authority of an act of Congress approved May 29, 1884, and of the laws of the State of New York, all cattle found without permit on the streets, highways or commons in the counties of Kings and Qneens, State of New York, will be condemned as ex- posed cattle, and after appraisement, slaughtered. All per- Bons violatingj or assisting in the violation of any of the above mentioned regulations, or any of the provisions of the proclamation of quarantine of the counties of Kings and Queens, made by the Governor of the State of New York, will be refused permits for the movement of cittle within said quarantined district, and will be prosecuted under the laws of the State of New York, for the violation of said quarantine. J. M. Rusk, Secretary of Agriculture. This order will have a most beneficial effect; already 125 head have been seized and slaughtered, and the ownerB now see that they must obey the laws—the promiscuous inter- mingling of cattle on the unfencsd lots in the suburbs of Brooklvn having heretofore been one of the chief factors in the spread of the plague. Od6 hundred and sixty thousand tags have been used by the employes of the bureau in New York in tagging cattle, and probably $150,000 has been spent by the bureau throughout the country in extirpating contagi- ous pleuro-pnenmonia — a large sam of money, it is true, but a very Bmall sum when we consider the hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of cattle that were threatened by the spread of contagious plenro pneumonia. During the last four months 1,046 cattle have been slaught- ered, of which 263 were diseased and 783 had been exposed. The government paid out §37,546.50, and received $16,432.52 as salvage on meat of non-diseased cattle. Before bringing this article to a close, the subject of export- ing live cattle to Europe should be considered. The quar- antine laws of England against American cnttle at present are almost prohibitory, all stock being killed at port of entry en arrival, thus putting a stop to one of our great industries. The extermination of contagious pleuro-pneumonia in Amer- ica will compel the English government to repeal these laws, and an immense benefit be conferred on the cattle industry Transfer of Pure Bred Devon Cattle: American Devon Cattle Club.

If a corresponding plan is adopted with poultry, the young cocks can be kept until late in the season, or even into the new year, without deterioration, but, on the other hand, with with great improvement as regards size. The same remarks are true, mutatis mutandis, with regard to the hens. A fowl that has laid an egg is herself edible, but cannot for a moment be compared to a pullet that has not laid; the quality, tenderness, and sapidity of the flesh of the latter are greatly superior. Hence those pullets that are intended to be fattened for the table should not be allowed to run promiscuously with the other birds in the poultry yard; if first-class fattened poulards are required, they should be separated. It may be said that this separation of the sexes in poultry is too much trouble to be generally followed. This may be true, but in many places where large numbers of poultry are reared for home consumption or the market, it could be done without any great increase of trouble, and the im- provement in the birds would amply repay that which was necessary. To those who rear for their own tables, and have facilities for carrying these suggestions into effect, I can strongly rec- ommend tbem; but tbey must take the strictest precautions that the birds are separated before they have manifested any sexual proclivities. — W. B. Tegetmeier, in the Field- Canned Meats. "Will you please explain the modus operandi of canning meat in the great canning establisbments at the Union Stock Yarda?" asks a correspondent. Cattle killed for canning are usually well fattened native cows, and Texas and other range cnttle, such as are usually ranked in the market as good butchering cattle. Corned beef, after being first salted and cured in the chill-room, at a temperature of thirty-eight degrees Fareuheit, is taken over to the cannery and cooked by steam in hot water. It is then put upon the chopping table aud cat up. Hand labor is employed for this purpose, because it is necessary to se- lect the parts of the beef that go into the cauB, and to throw out the gristle and other unsuitable portions. The best cuts of table beef are selected for canning purposes. This pro- cess over, all the rest of the manipulation is done by machin- ery. The cans are placed in a receiver and are charged from the bottom. A steel plug or plunger presses the beef com- pactly into the cans. They are then weighed and any short- age or overplus is rectified. A circular oritice is left in the bottom of the can. Upon this a disc c-f tin plate, with a small hole in the center, is laid overlapping the orifice, and firmly soldered aronnd the rim leaving the little aperture in tne middle still open. The cans are next placed in a steam bath for about thirty minutes, which creates a vacuum. As soon as the air is thus expelled from them, the remaining opening is quickly soldered, and the can is then air-tight, or should be so. Each can is tested by an expert, who ascer- tains by sounding if there is any defect. If so, it is thrown out, but if found perfect the cans are run through steam and washed in hot water to remove all grease from the out- side, and are then plunged into a bath of cold water to col- lapse them. The only remaining process is the lacqnering and labelling. This is done by girls and women. — Western Rural. Blocd Will TeU. The determination of the age at which chicken should be shut up in order to be fattened for the table is a point of verv great importance, if first-rate results are required. The general rule is to Bhut up the cockerels "as bood as their tails begin to turn," that is, as soon as the two long central tail feathers over-lap the straight feathers of the tail; and the pullets before tbey have laid. The object of these directions is evident; as soon as the young birds begin to exercise their reproductive functions, they cease to be first-class table ponltry. It is quite true they are edible, but they are not birds that one woald wish to place before a gourmet; and what is still more to the point, not only is the quality lessened, but the quantity is seriously interfered with, for the birds cease to grow or fatten at the rate they did previously. It is not generally known that by keeping each sex not only apart, but absolutely out of sight of the other, both the cockerels and pullets may be grown to a much greater size than usual, without the quality of the fleBh being deteriorated . If the young cocks are separated before their tailB begin to tarn, and removed out of the sight of the hens, they do not become hard and coarse, and grow to a larger size than they otherwise would. I am not recommending tbat they should be shut up in small runs or pens, but that they should be kept quite apart, and out of the sight of the other sex. If thiB is done, the severe aud painful operation of capon- ising is quite unnecessary; in fact, it is not generally per- formed, even on the finest birds at the fat poultry show held in Paris during February. The keeping the sexual proclivities in abeyance by sep- aration is sometimes practised with regard to Gold or Amherst pheasants. These birds, as every rearer of them is aware, are mest pugnacious, the males killing not only one another, but also the females. Nevertheless, a score of gold cocks m full plumage may be kept in one inclosure, affording one of the most gorgeous sights in the animal kingdom, providing only that the whole of the males were put together whilst chicken, and had never been allowed to associate with the hens Under these circumstances they live peaceably, but the introduction of a single hen would have been the signal for the commencement of a battle royal, from which it is probable not a single bird would emerge alive. Texas Live-Stock Journal: — "For a number of years Mr. Sam A. Wolcott has gained quite a reputation for first-class beeves, but this year he has taken the blue ribbon a yard wide for the best grass beeves ever marketed from Texas. Mr. Wolcott has improved on native stock with Short-horn bulls, and altogether on grasB; the only difference between his method and many others who fail to attain satisfactory results being that he sees to it that bis pastures are cot over- stocked and his cattle starving or suffering for grass or water. His ranch is in Encinal County, where many contend that nothing but scrub long-horns can thrive. Last week Mr. Wolcott marketed in Chicago on a bad market, there being a decline of fully twenty cents per. 100 lbs. from the week pre- vious, selling thirty-eight Bteers averaging 1,346 lbs. and selling at $4.25 per 100 lbB., and twenty tight cows aver- aging 930 lbs, for S3 25, which was $57.20 for the steers and for the cows §31.85. Mr. Wolcott was offered $36 a head on the ranch for the steers, but he netted S49.48 per head. This stock never had a grain of food other than the native grass nor any of shelter. What Sam A. Wolcott can do in Encinal County, can be done by thousands of others in hun- dreds of counties in Texas. Management of Young Pigs How They Should be Wenned-The Care of tlie Sow. If only two litters of pigs are bred a year they most be allowed to suck until eight or ten weeks old, the last two weeks being given to those rather under-sized, so as to bring them up to the average and make an even lot. We have known titman by an extra three or four weeks' pull at the teat to grow bo tbat it could hardly be distinguished from the best. But long before the weaning is accomplished, the pigs should be taught to eat, and given three or four times a day all they will eat up clean. Some milk should, if possi- ble, form a part of the ration. To this may be added fine wheat middlings, ground oats or pea?, and a very little corn- meal. If there is no milk to give, withhold the corn alto- gether' With a good run at pasture or in a bearing orchard the pigs will make a large growth before fall, and be ready if well fed for killing at any time. The sow will take the boar three or four days after the pigs are weaned. It is important that her milk flow should stop as soon as she is with pig, hence such milk-producing foods as bran and fine middlings shoald be withheld at least for a week or two. The trouble will be to stop the sow tbat has been suckling a lot of raven- ous pigs from growing too fat when they are taken from her. Why Butter "Will Not Come. Among the reasons why butter will not come, an exchange gives the following: 1. Because of some disorganised or unhealthy condition of the cow. 2. Oo account of the unwholesome food and wa'er supplied. 3. Want of proper cleanliness in milking and setting the milk. 4. Lack of right conditions in the raising of cream — pure air and proper tem- perature. 5. The cream is not raised and Bkimmed in dn time. G. Cream not churned at the proper time — kept I long. 7. Cream too warm when churned. 8. Cream cool. 9. Churn not a good one. 10. Lazy hand at the i Some persons have the churn around nearly all the snr: or winter; take a few churns and then stop, fool aroti & begin again. %ht Qttt&tx awd Myoxtsmm July 12 TUEF AND TRACK.

Thirty-three thoroughbred yearhugs, the product of August Belmont's Nursery Stock Furm in Kentucky were shipped to New York last week; part of tl.em will be sold at auction and t'-e rest put into training. Charlie Foster moved to San Jose early this week with a stable of trotters and prcers belonging to Mr. Martin Carter. One of them betore leaving showed a mile better than 2:30 and is on the improve. One of the carious Bights of Coney Island is the spectacle of fifty or sixty thoroughbreds Btanding in the ocean every morning. The salt water appears to be the beBt thing in the world for bad legs.

August Belmont has lost, beside Kingfisher whose death I mentioned last week, the bay horBe Minus by King Ernest dam Nina by Kentucky, and a suckling hlly, sister to St. Carlo by St. Blaise from Carina. It is the policy of the owner of Lucille Golddust. the only mare with a record better than 2:17, that bes produced two foals that averaged better than 2:20 in speed, to mate her only with stallions that have fast records. Mr. W. C. France has amended his answer in the Red Wilkes case and asks for a dissolution of the partnership and for a sale of the horse. It is therefore extremely proba- ble Red Wilkes will be sold this summer. La Siesta Rancho's stallion Eros 2:292, was brought up to the Bay District Track last TueBday. Yioget expects to knock seveial seconds off the record of the half brother to Sillie Benton and Sport before next season's stud entries. Herrick & Ellsworth of WorcheBter, Mass.. have sold the bav mare Daunt by Dannlless (sire of Gene Smith 2:18|, Ed Annan 2:16J). dam by Honest Allen 2:28, in foal to Electu- ary, son of Electioneer, to Otis & Gramish of New York. Mr. E. S. Culver, the popular Blood Horse Secretary, had the misfortune to lose a good looking foal by Three Cheers out of Charity by Red Boy. The youngster, who was a very neat, powerful colt, broke his leg and had to be destroyed. It is announced that J. H. Shults, IheBrooklyn millionaire baker, bas got tired of the breeding business and will sell out his trotting stock next fall. Mr. Shults has been one of the most liberal tuyers ever connected with the trotting turf. When Jack 2:15 was a two-year-oH his dam Carrie Russell was sold for $50. After Jack's fame began to be noised abroad a hunt was made for bis dam, and she was found in a Michigan livery stable and was afterward sold for $3,000_ John Porter, the celebrated Kiogsclere trainer who has trained five winners of the English Derby, says if ws had later foals. leBB two year old racing, and longer races, we should have better horses, better trainers and better jockeys. C. J Hamlin's offer to put up a purse of $5,000 for Sanol and Belle Hamlin to trot for at the Buffalo circuit meeting, has been decline^. Marvin says he is willine to start Palo Alto against Belle Hamlin, but he wants a race best three in five.

Y. over the Village Farm track, the horse stumbled and turned a com- plete somersault, taking with him driver and sulky, wifhout injury. The horse was started up again and trotted faster than ever before. Fairiawn is celebrated as the place where General Withers raised so many successful performers, Bnd as the piacs where the mighty Almont and Happy Medium died, and now we hear with sorrow and regret that it is to be cut up into town lots and sold. McManus is working on the Chico track a whole host of trotters, the property of D. M Reavis. One of them, a black Director filly, is said to he exceptionally good. The chestnut Brigadier pacer Wapple 2:27, is moving rapidly, and is ex- pected to go low down. A two-thirds interest in the famous trotting stallion Robert McGregor haB been Bold to W. E Speirs of Glens Falls, N. Y., by J. E, Madden of Lexington, Ky. The horse was bought by Madden for $35,000, last Bpring, but this last transaction is at a private price. A tremendous and yet a fashionable, crowd turned out at I'ouchamps to see the Grand Prix. The gate money receipts amounted to rather over $80 000, while the Pari Mntual did almost twice as much business as on Drevious occasions, nearly $300,000 to S200.000 last year. The Drexel Stakes at Washington Park, Chicago, last Wednesday proved an easy race for E J.Baldwin's Santiago Theodore Winters Noreito was close up in the stretch and unfortunately attempted to Bqueeze between the leaders when the filly fell and her rider Abbaawas killed. Orrin Hickok declares that he is always afraid of a trotter to which a fast record has been given by a green hand at tbe business, as it bas been his experience that in Buch cases the animal is usually pretty well knocked out by the eyatem pursued and tbe inevitable weak spot made worse. Last Saturday at Washington Park Mr. "Winters won his first race with Noretlo a three year old sister to Alta. tbe filly readily accounting for a $600 purse, doing the mile in 1:43$. On tbe same day Senator Hearst's Almont ran a good mile being beaten only a head in 1:41 \ with 122 lbs. Mr. Refd was particularly unfortunate in taking his year lings from TennesBee to New York. The express company provided an unFafe car, and the pirtitious giving way the colts injared themselves, one being dead on tbeir arrival in New York; another out of that grand race mare Thorn has since died. Visitors to Fleetwood Sunday before last had a grand treat. Mr. Gordon's black wonder Gny was driven by Mil- lard Sanders in 2:16 without an effjrt. Mr. Walker drove his handsome mare Miss Alice a mile in 2:20i, Sanders then drove Mr. Gordon's team, Ernest Maltravera and Cap- tain in 2:23. The yearling filly by St. Simon out of Quiver was sold at auction in England last week for 5,500 guineas. She is a full BJBter to the Duke of Portland's Memoir, the winner of this year's Oaks. The twenty yearlings the property of the Queen, bred at the Hampton Court Stud Farm, were sold at an average of 705 goineas. Senator Heart's Almont ran a grand race in tbe Great Western handicap, carrying 106 lbs. He ran tbe mile and a half in 2:36 with Santa Anita's Los Angeles carrying 121 lbs. running a good second. On the same dav Al Farrow won a mile and a furlong in good style, but Longshot after win- ning the first heat in a mile and repeat died away and was readily beaten by Brandolette. Mr. Kemmis*' the Englishman who carried all before him at Beunos Ayres. having won every two-year-old race in which he started anything, intends sending some youngsters to England. Phoenix seems to be the crack sire, bis sons and daughters being almost unbeatable, while Whipper In (Hermit — Scarlet Runner) is getting some handsome colta. Col. Bruce sold fourteen horses, tbe property of Messrs. Cotton and Boyle at Sheepsbead. Among them were Mas- terlode. a three-year-old chestnut colt by Sir Modred or Kyrle Daly out of BeBsie Peyton $4,050; Grey Dawn, a fonr- year-old horse by Billet from Mary Clark, $2 800, Eminence, a three year-old filly by Kyrle Daly, dam Elizabeth, $1,300. It looks rather as though the Sporting World intended to be sarcastic when it said: "Matt Allen stood midway between the half mile and five forking posts daring the race for the Realization, and shouted to Hayward that he had his pursu- ers all dead. He iuBtmcted Hayward to ride Tonrnament as if he was giving him work. He did bo, as any good little boy would." The English Jockey Club mtt on Jane 5th and amended the racing programme bo that it now Btands as follows: "There shall be in each day's programme the following races, ' to fill with five entries for each of them: (1) Two racas of a mile or upward. (2) One being neither a handicap, a race in which there are any selling conditions, nor confined to two- year olds; this race may be one of the two races specified in the last clause." The National Harseman is now being published at Cleve- land under the title of The American Sportsman, the first issue of which appeared on Jaly 3rd and it is up to the stan- dard of excellence previously displayed in Indianapolis. Turf and Trotting interests are ably looked after by W. H. Gocher late of the Horseman, while Frank H Brunell after his retirement from the Secre'aryshipof tbe Plavers National League, will keep an eye on tbe baseball and athletic depart- ment. Mike Kelly took a trip to Monmouth before racing started there last week, to see how the straight tracks would Buit Geraldine. *'I don't like it," said Mike, after he had taken a considerable tramp over it. 'It's too big, and it will take us all day to go and come from the stables. I will start Ger- aldine there a couple of times, and then go to Saratoga. It's not a very good track for an excitable horse." GeraHine used to be the reverse if excitable but probably with age she has altered. Noah Armstrong, the well known Montanan who owns Spokane, has among other valuable mares on his Doncaster Farm, near Helena, the dam of last year's hero. Last week while at grass with her foal by Tom Bowling, she in some way broke her leg, bat it is said by the veterinary in charge that she will recover in due course — (She is at present in slings ) Mr. Armstrong has on his valuable horse ranch besides thoroughbreds, about 150 trotting bred youngsters including a useful Dictator cdH. To show what valne a popular thoroughbred stallion has after his tnrf career is ended, the mighty Iaonomy who baa been iu the stud for several seasons and is the sire of, among many others, the flying Seabreeze, has his book filled for the next three years bringing his owner an income of $45,000 irrespective of bis own mares, and yet if memory serves me well $42,500sras his price after Mr. Gretton's death though Senator Stanford was said to have offered $100,000 some time previous. The opening day at Tacama, Washington Territory, was very successful. Cy Mulkey took the whole pot iu the nov- elty race, Tim Murphy being in front at tbe quarter and half and Tim Daly at the three-quarters and mile. The six furlong and repeat had three Btarters, R. Bybee's Raindrop, winning tbe first heat in 1:17$. Hotspur only beaten a bead. Hotspur won the second heat by half a length in 1 :16J and the final was easily won by Dan Dennison's horse, wbo fiu- ished five lengths in advance of Raindrop. L. A. Ragsdale of Clarksville. Teun., has bought of A. J. Alexander, of Spring Station, Ky , the following young trot- ters: Re-election, gray colt, 2, by Electioneer, dam Lady Russell by Harol 1; Elieo, bay filly, yearliog by Pistachio (brother to Nutwood) dam Elect by Electioneer, second dam Mioeola by Rvs^yk's Hambletonian; Ra^sehte, chestnut filly, 3, by Lord Rassell, (brother to Mand S.,) dam Elite by Me-senger Doric, second dam Greeo Mountain Maid by Sayres' Harry Clay; Tuberose, bay, 7, by Natwood, dam Mossrose by Woodford Mambrino, second dam Primrose by Alexander's Abdallah.

SACRAMENTO vs. OAKLAND. Sunday, July 6th at Haight Street. A large crowd witnessed thin contest, and although the Colonels secured the greater number of hits, the Senators were fortunate in getting theirs when men were on bases. Hoffman was hit very hard but the Sacramentos pat up a great fielding game behind him and often prevented their opponents from ecoiiog, after they got two and three men on bases by safe bitting. The fielding of the Oaklanda was very ragged. The score; Oaelands. I Sacramento. C. O'Neill, If. Stickney, 3 b..6 Dnngan, c f — 6 N.

Thursday, Jolt 10th, at Haight St. The Goblins made a wretched snowing against the Colonels in this game* and for a long time it looked as though they would be shutout. Their fielding was clever enough, in fact it was greatly superior to that of the ColonelB, but for seven long innings they could scarcely touch Cobb at all. When they did get men on bases, the succeeding batsmen left them there, for little infield hits which were eaBy chances for the Colonels seemed to be their best efforts. The Colo- nels had the "Benedict" in the box, and his work was artis- tic. To show how effective he was, not a hit was secured off him for the first Sve innings. In the sixth and seventh, but one each was seoared, and then when he had the game welt in hand he let rip somewhat, and the Friscos banged out two in each the eighth and ninth, but they availed little, for the Oaklands had obtained suoh a lead that it was impossible to overtake them. The fielding was streaked. N. O'Neill's exhibition in the eighth inniDg would have disgraced a school boy. Dungan's very heavy hitting, McDonald's and Shea's base work, and Cobb's pitching were the only redeeming features of this very tiresome contest.

Stapleton's Senators have been playing ball and have increased their lead, while Finn's Friscos are taking a tobog- gan slide. The Colonels also are pulling up a bit, and Shelly's Stooktons although slightly below the four hundred mark, have been doing such excellent work that another month may place them close to the leaders. the record:— (to July lOt1!, inclusive).

Dive Levy has caught in sixteen consecutive games for the Portlands. Borchers is himself again and is doing great work in the box for Portland. "Silver" King is doing wonderful work in the box for the Chicago Brotherhood. Glasscock now leads the New lork League team in bat- ting. Tiernan is second. When Norris O'Neill makes errors they are of the yel- lowest possible description. The "Reitz touch" is now oonsidered the most approved style of tagging a base runner. Ebright's body is said to be a mass of black and blue bruises from being hit by the ball so often. The Stocktons have been doing a lot of winning lately and must be considered aa very much in the pennant race, Crosby and Morgan, the old Pioneer battery are side part- ners again, travelling for an Eastern manufacturing 6rm, Of sixteen second basemen in the Atlantio Association, Hughey Smith ranked fifteenth. No wonder Hartford let Mm go. Connie Doyle, formerly third baBeman of the San Francis- cos, now ranks second in that position in the Atlantio Asso- ciation. Zeigler is now with the Wheeling team of the Tri-State League. It looks like a case of "from post to pillar" with the ex-manager. Oh my, how Tom Powers has been lacing the ball out for Baltimore in the last few games. Three and four hits a game seem to be "just his size". Reports from Portland say that Billy Cooney has been hitting well, but has fallen off very much in throwing, Dave Levy is still a big favorite up there. Lookabaugh is not a phenomenal pitcher in this climate. It is said that where it is intensely warm, Look can pitch great ball but as yet he has not shown much ability as n twirler on the home grounds. Mike Kelly has his weather eye on that $10,000 present his Boston friends are going to give him. He seems to be very much afraid that the laBt three ciphers will slip off before he gets the prize.— Critic. It was a pleasure to see the "old horse" Perrier in harness on the Fourth. Hyp played in his old Pioneer style, and proved himself a great favorite with the audiences. Why don't some of the managers give him a chance again? Billy Sunday is miking great progress in the right direc- tion. When the baseball business ceases to be remunerative, it is his intention to become a minister, so he is keeping in trim by delivering lectures to the baseball players. — Ex Pete Sweeney was not released many hours before the wires were hot from different managers asking his termB. After considering them all, Pete decided to sign with the St. Paul team, of which he will undoubtedly be made cap tain. Reports from Melbourne say that since the Spalding party viBited the Colonies baseball has taken a firm hold, and is now in a flourishing condition. In Melbourne they have thirteen clubs, all playing good ball and attracting large audiences. The Colonel intends releasing a few more of his players and several new men are promised. The Colonel had better be snre that his new men will be an improvement on the old before making any changes, as he has had experience in this line before. The Friscos need a bracing up or they wont be "in it" at all when the season cloBes. They are particularly weak in the pitching department, and unless a couple of good twirlers are immediately secured, their chances for winning the pennant will be very slim. The Boston League team has lately been making a utility man of Lou Hardie. In the absence of their regular players Hardie has played on firBt and third bases and his filled both positions very creditably. He is bIbo doing some excellent work behind and with the bat. Robinson, of the Athletics, griuned like a hyena when Manager Sharsig wheeled & baby-carriage over to him as be stepped up to the home-plate in ihe fitst Athletic— Syracuse game. He was the happy father of a ten-pound baby, and he didn't seem to care a fig who knew it. — Exchange. Jack Hayes writes that he is playing great ball for the Port Townsends and has made a big hit in base running. He says the crowd feels disappointed if he dont steal second and third on the two first pitched balls after he gets to the initial bag. He also states that in the games played against the Spokane and Seattle teams he played in excellent form, petting two hits in each game. President Mone has returned from his northern trip, and expressed himself as well pleased with his vacation. He says that the Seattle grounds are very fine, and that baseball is a perfect craze in all the league cities. Notwithstanding that Harris has played in the hardest kind of luck, the people of Portland give the team great support, and Hen thinks that with his new players in good form, he will soon pull out of the hole. It looks ridiculous to see Dungan leaving the grounds accompanied by a messenger boy carrying his grip and bat bag. Is the big center fielder eo wearied after playing for two hours that he cant carry his own grip? From all appear- ances Buch must be the case but possibly the messenger boy is brought into service to attract attention. This is patting it on pretty thick, but it would not be surprising to see Col- onel Dungan with a valet de chambre at the club house to rub him down, and a Gurney in waiting to convey him to the ferry. Column upon column of praise has been bestowed by the local press on the work of Nick Smith, Bill Smalley and Milt Whitehead as third basemen, but for a player who fills the position up to the letter give ub Johnny Godar of the Sacra- mentos. Godar is no record player but goes after every- thing in sight and generally gets what he is after, too; but like Roberts he works in that easy unostentatious style that the people don't seem to realize how wonderful some of his plays really are. Nothing is ever hit too speedy for this nimble little third baseman, and he throws with a lightning precision across the diamond. He is also one of the Sen- ators' safeBt and hardest hitters, and when the averages are compiled at the close of the season we will be much mista- ken if the name Godar does not head the list of third basemen. Sweeney and Buchans release from the San Fr^nciscos occasioned no little surprise in the base ball world although Buchan was considered from the start a little slow for the company he was travelling in. However, he rapidly improved in fielding and his hitting was often so timely that it waB thought he would be a fixture with the team until at least some Eastern man came to take his place. But Manager Finn was not at all pleased with his work in any department and has replaced him by Reilly, who made such a favorable impression in the few gameE he played with the FriscoB. Why Sweeney was released was not on account of poor play- ing but rather for insubordination. Finn says that Charley failed to show up in practice for the past week and had also been indulging too freely in "Beltzer and lemon. " His place will temporally be filled by "old man" Perrier. We regret to see Sweeney taken out of the Frisco nine aB his playing has always been of a most finished character and a treat to wit- ness. BeBidee he was exceptional Btrong at the bat, being a veritable terror to pitchers when men were on bases. The Oakland management also contemplates making Beveral changes but who will be released and who signed is yet a matter of conjecture. Thomas P. Robinson as Mr. Umpire. Many amusing incidents have occurred at the Haight St# grounds sinceMts opening with a brasB band one bright day in April 18S7, but none have equalled the exhibition given by the irreBistable and irrepressible Colonel Thomas P. Rob- inson last Sunday morning. To the Duke of Baratarra and his numerous qualifications we have likened his Colonelehip, but when we said he was celebrated, cultivated and under- rated; very knowing, easy going and overflowing, we did not commence to convey, the slightest idea of his remarkable ver- satility. Every one knows that the Colonel is the Vonder Ahe of the Paoific Coast and many reasons have been ad- duced as the cause of his celebrity. He has long been rec- ognized throughout the length and breadth of this glorious country aB a "champion releaser" of ball players and in thig respect is only equalled by the great Chris himself. It is a well known fact that one by one he has released his best piayers, and then had the supreme satisfaction of seeing them asBiat very materially in defeating his team but this dont "phase" the unaffected Thomas, "a little bit," He just goes right along and releases the ground keeper and then endeav- ors to dispense with the services of Lingenderfers peanut boys, Tbe Colonel is also renowned for his pennant win- ning smile. This smile, although not enriching the coffers of the league treasury to any great extent is largely responsible for the feminine attendance which throngs the grand stand on the days when the Colonels team plays. And then what a dresser is ThomaB P. tbe Beau Brummel of the City of OakB. Would any of the jeunesse doree of that ola6sic little burg acrosB the bay dare to presume to attire themselves in habiliments not sanctioned and set by the Colonel? An echo from the hills of Contra Costa answers "Not much." Bat his indisputable qualifications as an ideal manager, his ex- quisite taste as a dresser, and his debonair style as a fascina- tor of the fair sex pale into utter insignificance when com- pared with his wonderful abilities as an umpire. (Right here yon stick the pin.) It 1b reported that on a previons oecas- Bion the Colonel was requested to umpire a game in whioh his team took part but he modestly declined that honor. It must here be said that the Colonel is very niodeBt. For a professional man he is exceedingly so. But last Sunday morning Fate decreed that the Colonel should umpire. In fact he waB really compelled to officiate in that capacity. Not one of the staff of umpires who are paid princely salaries with the express understanding that they are to be on the grounds when the gong sounds, were present. So the Col- onel who in the absence of the Hon. John J. Mone constitutes himself President, Treasurer and all the other lesser positions the league affords, held a consultation with himself and as President politely invited the Treasurer to officiate in that responsible position and as Treasurer gracefully accepted the Presidents (his own)ievitation. Tbis he would not have done had there been any oneelse on the grounds capable of officia- ting, because as we said before the Colonel is modest, and re- ligiously refrains from making himself conspicuous on any oocassion. But this was a case of actual necessity. The two teams leading amateur teams were ready for the fray, and only waited for the word. So the Colonel carefully rolled up the bottom of hiB pants, just permitting a glimpse of his black silk socks, (the Colonel is fashionable and all his little adornments are now black even to his eye glass) and majes- tically strode to the plate. The teams were in position and Gimmel was at the bat. With an imperious wave of his right hand and in stentorian tones uttered the command "Play Ball." There was a look of consternation ou the faces of the players which rapidly suffused the countenances of the eight hundred spectators and then it broadened into a yard wide grin. The Colonel had forgotten tne little white sphere which is so essential that without it the game cannot proceed. But this wbb a very trifling error for an umpire and al- though a long column in the papers is crammed with figures ennmerating the misplays made by players no column is set aside for the umpire's errors — we suppose for lack of space. The perceptive scorer, however, quickly took iu the situation and tossed out the requisite horse-hide globe; the Colonel made an attempt to catch it but missed and the crowd laughed again. Then the game commenced in earnest. Gim- mel tired by tbe protracted delay, lost no time in bringing his bat in contact with the ball and sent a swift grounder to Sharp. The third baseman believing that "delays are dan- gerous" heroically blistered his hands by stopping the ball and furiously sentit speeding to first. It arrived at the iutended destination some time before the runner bui the Colonel evi- dently thinking it was a tine time to create a sensation and also to inspire the players with his importance, sonorously Bhouted "safe." Many thought he meant that the ball was safe in the grasp of the first baseman, but wa believe he meant the runner had arrived safely at the bag without meet- ing with any accident on the way. The next man up waB the tawny Cook. The catcher put on his mask and tbe Colonel did likewise, but the back stop planted himself firmly in the ground so as not to be carried off the earth by the force of the ball while the Colonels position was a perfect elucidation of the "poetry of motion." Posed on one toe, his manly form Bwaying gently to and fro. one could easily imagine he was witnessing an equilibrist going through some excrucia- ting gyration on a trapeze. All that wus needed to complete the act was a calcium light. But we are diverping from tbe game. The dark skinned batsman met another of Monet's architectural curves and it went sizzling down to wheie Thompson was stationed. The short stop scooped it in his capaoious paws and drove it over to first. Gormley was affectionately caressing the ball before the runner did his ninety feet of sprinting, but the Colonel again thought that "safe" was a good word to use in a case of tbis kind and so emphatically expressed that opionion of the play. There were stern faceB in the Report team and Tbompson hotly said "Oh! come off, Colonel!" to which the well connected war- rior replied, "Don't call me Colonel here; address mo aB Mr. Umpire." And so the game progressed without blood Bhcd although some one thoughtfully telephoned Chief Crowley for an extra squad of police. In justice to Mr. Robinson we must say that he is of a very generous disposition and is very lenient with pitchers. The record that neither Monet or Callen sent a single man to base on balls is higbIy|cieditableto tbem and for this they ore very muoh indebted to the Colonel's excellent judgment on balls and strikes. But there is an end to all things an game and the Colonel's umpiring came to a close but w him later on in the shade of Hagerty'e Symposium o'' T Refreshments surrounded by a score of playere, peami ders and interested spectators to whom he was renderu choice dissertation on "Umpiring as an Art." 10 aen eager to match hiB horse for some time, and it is just prob-b]e that there rrjjy be some- thing in the report. Mr. L. J. Rose experienced a dose of bad luck when two of the beet mares in the Australian contingent purchased for him by T. B. Merry died en route. And this was followed up by another misfortune, for the Sir Modred— School Girl colt purchased by Mr. Rose for $5,800 at the Rancho Del Palo sale contracted a severe cold on the oars coming back and has since died. Among the faBt trotters being worked at Santg Rosa is Mr. Guy E. Grosse's Sunset. Mr. Lfiwrence has him in oharge; and although the colt is only lately out of stud service, he showed four miles averaging 2:31, the fastest heat being made in 2:29. This is very good for a horse weighing 1225 pounds, and when he gets a little of his fat off he will show up equal to any of the get of Anteeo. Mr. W. W. Worthing of Stockton has sold recently to T. E. Keating now of Sacramento, a Bix-year-old gelding by Priam, dam by General Dana. The consideration is $2,000, which was given on the promise of Mr. Worthing that his gelding could beat 2/25. Notwithstanding the horse has had but little work, the mile was easily accomplished in 2.23£ and the sale consummated. For sometime there has been considerable controverBey be- tween the friends of Messrs. Jameson, Pressy and Davenport of Porterville, Tulare Co. as to which one owned the fastest yearling or two year old. To decide the question Mr. C. M. Davenport has challenged Messrs. Jamesou and Pressy to trot anytime within two weeks their yearlings or two year old colts for $100 a side for each race. Mr. F. S. Waters, the owner of Faustino, the celebrated young stallion who made a record of 2.35, at the Bay District Track last fall has received a letter from driver Dickerson in which he received the information that Fanatino was given three slow miles on Monday of last week. The time being 2:45, 2:46 and 2:35, the last half of the last mile was made in 1:14 and the last quarter in 35J seconds. It loofes as though Senator Stanford would have done bet- ter to keep his stable of runners together for they always paid their own expenses and had he sent his able trainer, Henry Walsh Eist this spring the chances are that with Fairy, Rin- fax, Racine, Flambeau, Peel and others well entered, as most of them then were, he could have earned money and fame, be - sides laying the foundation for an annual thoroughbred yearling sale which would equal if not eclipse anything held in the country. Among those who have subscribed to the Buffalo stakes are Pleasanton Stock Farm, O. A. Hickok and Palo Alto Stock Farm in the five year old and under trotting class. In the 2;40 class we find Hickok and Salisbury represented. In the 2:27 class there are Palo Alto and Hickok. In the 2:22 class Palo Alto is the only tCalifornia entry. Hickok and Salisbury are both in the 2:18 class, and the same two are also in the 2:21 class. The following few lines from a correspondent speak for themselves: "How is this for a stake winner? Horse colt by Director, 2:17, and dead game, dam Belle Echo, 2:20, and dead game. This little fellow was born Monday morning, June 30th, is dark brown, and as fine a looking colt as has been foaled at Pleasanton this year." Any remark on that note would be superfluous, and fortunate indeed the man who can afford to purchase the colt. Mr. J. P. Sargent of Sargent's Station sends me word that he has sold his Nutwood stallion, Brown Jug, to Merritt Love for $2500. Brown Jug has not been as successful in the stud as he might have been as the claBB of mares sent to his harem have not been of the gilt edge variety. Brown Jug is a dark bay stallion by Nutwood; 1st dam Young Mol- lie by Bndd Doble, son of George M. Patchen, Jr.: 2nd dam Mollie Trussell by General Taylor; 3rd dam the Livingston A telegram from Jackson, Mich, gives the gratifying in- telligence that Mr, Salisbury has won the two first races for which he started. In the first Katie S. was the entry and she had no difficulty in beating her field in three straight heats the fastest time necessary to win being 2:29£. In the 2:40 pacing race Cricket also won in Btraight heatB but the timeiB not given in the dispatch. Mr. Salisbury nas started off well and all Californians wish that he may keep up his victories. It is not very often that we hear of such a strange proceed- ing as was lately carried out on the streets of Launceston, the second largest city in Tasmania, It Beems that a Mr. Crosby had matched his mare Termagant against Mr. Rich's pony, The Devil. The race started from a hotel in Perth. Crosby's mare taking the lead with The Devil close np. The trBffio in Wellington Btreet was completely stopped during the race, those who were driving vehicles giving way to the contestants. Genial Tom Smith of Vallejo paid me a visit a few days ago and does not seem down in the mouth over the reports of fast time made by horses that he will have to tackle on the circuit. He says that Washington has been given some Blow work but thinks he will be much faster this year than last, at least there is every reason to believe so. Mr. Smith will bIbo have Mambrino Chief Jr. on the circuit so that if there be any made np races he will have a ohance to show what that branch of the family can do. The sensational Red "Wilken case is liable soon to be set- tled for good and all. W. C. France has filed a petition pray- ing the court to order the partnership dissolved and have the horse sold. Franoe claims that Smith McCann, the other half owner of the horse, has annoyed him so much about the animal's management that he is not willing to oontinue as McOann'a partner. We do not blame Mr. France for wanting to be rid of McCann. If Red Wilkes is offered at auotion many predict it will be the most sensational Bale of the year. Mr. Geo; Woodard, owner of Alexander Button, Bire of Yolo Maid, was in the city during the early part of the week, and reoorts bis young horses as all doing well. Belle Button has lost none of her speed, and Alex. Button Jr. promises to develop ag much Bpeed as any of the rest of the family. Mr. Woodard, while exercising one of his horses a few days ago, wae thrown from hiB sulky and received rather a 6evere shak- ing up, but as no bones were broken, it will not take long for him to oyercome the effeots of bis "spin." At Kankakee, 111. on July 1st was opened up the first of the kite-shaped tracks which were advocated a long time ago by Mr. Fasig, the enthusiastic Secretary of the Cleveland As- sociation. "Whether the new innovation is a Buccess or not, our telegram has not stated but that it is unusually fast is assured by the fact that the 2:29 trot was won by Magna Wilkes in'fhe r'ght good time of 2:234, that being his fastest mile. In the 2:50 class the fastest mile was 2:28}, the win- ner turning up in Alice Black by Jersey Wilkes, this being the second of his get to enter the 2:30 list this year. A good story is told about Senator Hearst, and as it comes from a very close friend of his, there is a strong probability that considerable truth lies behind the "yarn." It seems that a gentleman approached the Senator laet winter, when he was out here, and urged him to buy a very fast tunning horse, claiming wonderful speed for his equine. Mr. Hearst finally told his importnner that he must wait for u day or two, as he (Hearst) was about to visit Sierra County to look at a mine, and if the "proBpect" suited, would probably pur- chase it, "then," said he, "come and tell me about your horse, for I never buy one but what I also want a mine to piy the expenses of the d — d brute." An old friend writing from Wheatland informs me that a number of gentlemen living at that point have instituted a Driving Club and elected the following officers: L. Melton, President; J. M. C. Jasper, Vice-Praaident; B. F. .Goons, Secretary; J. Seward, Secretary; C. W. Bennet, Superin- tendent; and C. V. Griffith, Keeper. The Association have already leased some land from Mr. Wm Brewer which is lo- cated only a quarter of a mile from the town, and have already commenced work on a three-quarter mile track, which they hope to have finished in short order. This is a move in the right direction as there are plenty of good horses in the neighborhood, and the owners will now have an op* portunity to erjjoy their favorite Bport. Mr. Ya'ensin brings me the Bplendid news that his horse 8imm:colon won an eight heat race at Point Breeze Park, Philadelphia, on Wednesday last, and gained a new record for himself of 2:20}. This young Btalliou has done remarka- bly well so far this year and has made many friends. A gentle- man writing in Wallace's Monthly sayB: "Snisun won the Clay Stake in straight heats. Simmon- colon was entitled to the race, for he is in our judgment a faster and gamer animal than the daughter of Electioneer, but the soft, springy track was unsuitable for his big gait, and threw him off his stride. It is not improbable that when Count Valensin's horse is returned to him, he will have the fastest Wilkes record on the Pacific slope," From Mr. Whitney who paid me a visit on Monday last, 1 learn that the Petalumans were served up with a splendid treat in the shape of trotting at the race track there on Fri- day last. The first contest was between Lilly Mac, Poco Tiempo and Whalebone. The first heat was won by Whale- bone; the second was a dead heat: Lilly Mac won the third; Pooo Tiempo the fourth, while the fifth heat was also decided as a dead heat; Lilly Mac ultimately won the sixth and sev- enth heats and the race. The second race of the day was between Bobbin, Annie L, Nellie Rustic and Chappo. Bobbin, driven by Lee Shaner, won easily in ihree straight heats. Homeslake by Gibraltar, dam Kate by Volunteer 55, has at times in California shown wonderful flights of speed, but he has always proved a bad actor when1, called upon to face the starter. When Ed Lafferty, trainer for Mr. Kirkendall, returned to Montana a few weeks ago he took with him the erratic trotter and now comes .word that "Ed1' has carried the son of old "Gib" to victory. The following is the sum- mary: Fourth race, purse $300, trotting, mile heats 3 in 5 2:38 class. Ed.

The following about an old time California horse is taken from Dunton'B Spirit: General McCellan ch h 151 bands, was bredbyL.B. James, Pile Station, in Central Ohio, foaled 1855, at Jamesville, Wis., got by North Star, a son of Morgan Emperor, dam a chestnut mare by Ohio Bellfonnder. The breeding of the dam of North Star is not given, but Morgan Emperor was got by BulruBh Morgan, out of a mare by imp. Prince William. The dam of Ohio Bellfonnder was the thoroughbred mare Bet Singleton by Tormentor. General McClellan when owned in Jamesville was known as Red Iron . Mr. Yan Gilder bought and sold him to Mr. Jas. M. Lear- ned, who lived in Jamesville, Wis., and took the horse across the plains to California, with Rattier and other stock, in company with Seneca Daniel. There may or may not be in General MoOlellan the blood of Blue Bull. The San Diego County Fair will be held this year at Es- condido and the Board of Directors have arranged the fol- lowing speed programme for four days raoing begioning Sept. 30th: Tuesday — Trotting, 2;-10 class, purse, $250.

Running purses will be divided into three moneys, 60, 30 and 10 per oent. The New York Tribune of last Thursday has the following to say about Mike Kelly, trainer for R. Porter Ashe: "If a subscription paper was passed around at all the great East- ern race courses and turfmen generally were asked to sub- scribe to a handsome testimonial to Michael Kelly on con- dition that be would never ride Geraldiue again, that worthy and excellent young man would be enriched in a few minutes by an enormous sum of money. Last year Geraldine ran in twenty one races and won thirteen of them. Kelly ran her only once in public, and then sbe was beaten. This year Kelly, who managed Ashe's stable, has been more aspiring and ambitious. Geraldine has run in eight races in 1890, and has won only one of them, when she was ridden in tine style by Taylor. Kelly has ridden her in four ont of her seven defeats. With all due respect to Kelly's many excel- lent qualities, it may be respeotfully. submitted that to a very few human beings sinoe the world began has it been given to excel both as trainer and jookey at the same time." 1890 Ske flmte attd S^nwtstttau. 15 The Los Angeles Entries.

Towhead, by Echo, has at her side a full brother to St. Nicholas, this youngster being a very handsome and well put together colt. Lady Hannah by Arthurton, dam Hannah byLanford, haB a full brother to Andy McDowell's pacing filly, who showed a trial mile this spring in 2:224, although only three yearB old; though her older filly was a pacer, this little fellow is a clear gaited trotter. Boseleaf, by Buccaneer, dam Fernleaf by Flaxtail, and is a full sister to Shamrock, two-year-old record of 2.25, has a larg« filly on foot by Sidney that shows remarkable trotting action, and should be a phenomenon. Miss Hoy is by Buccaneer out of the dam of Allen Roy, 2:17£; she hasa chestnut colt by Sidney, and looks as though he could go a distance and stay for any number of heats. Mr. Sutherland, who is training for Mr. Hatch and others, at an adjoining farm, has a colt out of this well put up matron that can show quarters and repeat in forty seconds. Faustina, by Crown Point 1990, dam Del Foster by A. W. Richmond; 2d dam by George M. Patchen Jr., as most of our readers are aware, is the dam of Faustino, who made the yearling stallion record last year at the Bay District track of 2:35. This season Faustina has produced a bright bay filly, who, for size and amiability, cannot be beaten anywhere, she is a very handsome young one, and if looks go for anything, should be fully as speedy as her elder brother. It is only natural that one should piok out an animal from among a large number, and settle the fact in his own mind that that particular one is better than any of the balance, and the writer has to confess a weakness in stating that the filly by Sidney, dam Venus, the dam of Adonis, 2:14, was the one selected as beiug themostspeedy looker on the farm; abig,fine ohestnut filly who would take the fancy of almost any judge, and it will have to go on record that the writer predicts extreme speed for this handsome sister to the great pacer. Patti, by Nutwood, dam Centennial Belle by Woodburn; 2d dam Bonnie Belle by Belmont, is the mother of a lordly looking bay colt by Sidney, that from his breeding should be as fast as any of them. Ometta, by Aberdeen, dam Kentucky Central by Balsora; 2d dam None Such by Brignoli, hasa chestnut filly by Sidney, the blood lines of which in the New York market should entitle this little fellow to great consideration by those who desire to purchase pedigree. Belle Grande, by La Grande, dam Oak Grove Belle by Arthurton; 2d dam Henrietta by Bell Alta, has a ohestnut filly by Sidney, and Oak Grove Belle, the dam of Bell, Grande, has a ohestnut stallion by the same horse. A very taking ohestnut colt that was much admired was by Sidney out of Alice C. by Wilkes Boy, dam Primrose by Mambrino King, the second dam of Alice C. being Dolly Var- den by Consternation Jr. Juno, by Buccaneer, dam Venus by Captain Webster; 2d dam by Skenendoah, was the proud possessor of a bay filly by Sidney, and she is a superb little creature; as her mother trotted off through the Geld, this filly followed close ut her heels, trotting as fairly and squarely as one could wish for. There are a great many on tside mares sent annually to Sid. ney, and one that struck the writer as being remarkably good is the property of I. Morehouse, of Montana, and if Mr. Morehouse is not Batiafied with his magnificent colt by Sid- ney, we shall be very much surprised. Judge Green, of Oakland, has a Whipple's Hambletonian mare there who has had a beautiful filly by Simmocolon; the judge is indeed fortunate to own a filly by this coming sire. Jno. A. Goldsmith, the skillful reinBman at the San Mateo Stock Farm, is also represented, he owning a bay mareby Alaska which is the dam of a very elegant black colt by Sim- mocolon. Mr. Goldsmith also has a Elmo mare which has at foot a black or brown colt by Sidney, Although there were a great many other mares seen and noteB taken about them, lack of space prevents us from men- tioning any except one more, this is a bay colt by Sidney, dam Ellen Tomlinson by Dictator.

Editoe Breeder and Sportsman. — The muscular force, the magnetic nerve force, the sensory forces and even the conscious force of one person, may be connected with those of another, by a current of electro magnetism generated by the galvanics or forcedic battery; in other words all of the muscles, tissues, fibres and nerves can be connected; the current passing through one to the other from the battery is restrained by the gaBts of the atmosphere, the natural elec- tricity and magnetism generated in each person, and the earth's magnetism. No other conductors are needed. It may be necessary to overcome the resistance of the will power temporarily in order to establish the connection from the brain of one person to the other. This being the case, mind reading, thought transference, seeing at a distance, the Asiatic secret mail service, and the many other so-called mystic phenomona can be explained. The subject of animal electricity has not been sufficiently studied. By reference to experiments being carried on near London, a magnetic reel has been invented, which moves by the mill power without touch. It is asserted that a person can be artificially charged with electricity, if this is the case, why cannot our racers be now charged to increase their speed? H. Athletics— Continued. The Alpine Club is rather unfortunate in losing such good members as Little and Sexsmith. Both men are out and out professionals and of course had to resign from the club. Eldridge was also forced to follow the example. I overheard a conversation the other day between a couple of prominent athletes who were speaking about the respect- ive merits of Cooley and Casidy. One of the talkers was of the opinion that Casidy could beat Cooley at any distance, while the other argued that Cooley was ompetent to allow Casidy a start either in a mile or two miles. At all events I think a race between the two men would prove highly interesting. Casidy has picked up wonderfully of late and when he next meets Cooley neither man can afford to let the grass grow under his feet. I am informed that the Alpine boys are organizing a team of Cricketers to play a match game with the Alameda Cricket Club in a couple of weeks time. The Olympic boys who visited Willows on the Fourth of July were well received by the people of that town. The athletic exhibition which was given in a Urge grain ware- house attraoted a large crowd of about 5,000 persons and many were unable to gain admission. "Jim" Corbett of course was the main attraction. His appearance on the stage was the signal for an outburst of applause. Cooley recited a comic recitation and brought down the house. Later on his scientific boxing with Boulo also gained the good will and hearty applause of the Willowites. The first event on the programme was a horizontal bar act, in which Mr. Boulo and the Stack Brothers participated. Their work was fine and up to the professional standard. F. L. Cooley next read a very comical poem in fine style. Jim Corbett and J. L. Lafferty, Champion Welter weight of the Coast then pat on the mittens, and Corbett fairly electrified the oountry peo- ple with his great Bhow of science and agility. Lafferty who made a creditable showing with the champion got great applause also. Champion McGill swung his clubs in excel- lent shape, and won much applause. There were several other events. The Olympic Club boys were sent home on a special train. Daring the afternoon Cocley was wandering around the town when suddenly he found himself in the preBenoe of no less a personage than the champion runner of Willows, who, by the way, is a colored bootblack. The oolored man calmly informed Frank that he would run any man in the world a mile, barring JohnBon. 'I'll go you a mile" said Cooley. "All right," said the bootblack and 60 it was arranged and tbey at once set out for the race track. The word to go was given and when the half mile was reaohed-Cooley was leading by 100 yards. Here the shoe cleaner fainted from sheer exhaustion aud the Willows sports had to prooure a buggy to oarry their defeated pet off the field Cooley finished the mile in 5:6, which, considering the bad condition of the traok waB fine. I very frequently take in Sunday picnics, and it is sur- prising what a number of our local amateurs take part in the races usually given. I have iu my miud a list of names which would be sufficient almost to fill a whole page. If these men were thrown out of the P C A A A one club which I know well would lose a good many of its "amateur" members. Several of the Alpine club boys are going out to the Bay District traok to morrow morning to have themselves photo- graphed in a group by the club photographer Hemway. "Bamblfb."

Californians at Washington Park. One of the breeziest writers on the New York Spirit of the Times is "Pilgrim", whose racy articles are always read with interest. In the current Dumber he says: Thursday evening I met AH Estell, the Californian, in the Palmer House corridor. The Kenwood Stakes had been run that day and the Winters colt. San Juan, had been beaten by Palestine. Mr. Estell looks after the Winters stable, a faot well known. He is one of the sirent men, bat when inter- ested a most fluent and agreeable talker. He was sitting alone trying to catch a breath of fresh air from the Lake, for it was very warm. I leaned over his chair and said: ''San Juan was beaten but I like him just the same yet." He answered: "1 will tell you a story that will give you the real reason of his defeat. Some three or four years ago I was one of the judges at a fair and race meeting in Califor- nia. There waB to be an Indian pony race, and it was pre- sumed horses were to be owned and ridden by Indians. The Chief had the ponies tested and, selecting the best as his entry, went around telling everybody with great pomp and pride that he would win sure Up at Haggin's ranoh John Mackay had a lot of Indian boys picking hops. Se- lecting the brightest little fellow, Mackay asked him if he could ride. The boy was right at home, and tickled to death he answered, "Oh yes; me sabe hoss." Mackay mounfed him, and after giving him a trial eatisQed himself the bo> would do. He then picked out one of their smallest thor- oughbreds, rubbed his hair full of oil and dirt, and the three blew into the gates. The horse looked pretty rough, the chief thinking him a veritable cayuse. Going to the chief Mackay begged to be allowed to Btart. The chief readily consented, giving Mackay to understand, however, that there were no fleas on him. aDd that he was going to win. When they got the word Maekay's hor.se went off with the track, and the farther they went the further he left the re&t behind. There was nothing in it from end to end but Mark- ay's horse and little Jim. After it was over the chief went np into the stand to explain it. His pride was humbled, but he was game. He went on in broken Eoglish to tell how it happened. He said his own horse was u good one, etc., then gave this as the reason of his defeat: "Little Jim got good hoss; he too quick, no catchee." So it was with Palestine that day, "too quick no catchee," was the only reason San Juan was beaten." Mr. Estell 6D joyed the thought of the chief's reason for defeat taking it home to himself. without one particle of soreness over his own, and I know he baoked his colt, too. A level headed man is Alf Estell. Another Californian that I admire is W. H. E. Smith, owner of Al Farrow, Sngje 8. and Longshot, He is a six- footer, with a heart as big as bis herculean frame. He is looked upon by Pacific Coast people as a man that will do to tie to. He likes to win, and turns loose for first money always. He is one of God's noblemen. LaRt Tuesday Al Farrow started in a race, and though Mr. Smith had his money on him to my certain knowledge, the horse was not in it. The distance was too far for the 126 lbs. be carried, that is tho fact of the matter. Robespierre, who is blamed near to first-class just now, had but 103 lbs, on and won almost as he pleased, simply because he wan by long odds the best horse at the weights. I begged Mr. Smith to scratch out his horse, for I did not think there was a ghost of a chance for him. Like Uncle Jim Gray, he was so bent on winning that he wouldn't listen to me, left him in, backed him and lost all around. He was all oat ap over it and felt like thunder. Two dajs afterward he came to me, and, palling an evening newspaper out of his pocket, said: "Some reporter accuses me of pulling Al Farrow Tuesday; says that he was expelled on the Coast, but fails to say that I didn't own him nor have anything to do with him then, but jnst about calls me a thief. Yon know all abnat it, that I tried to win, and I want you to set me right." I told Mr. Smith it was not necessary to Bay a woid, but his feelings were hart down deep and I could not talk him out of the idea he ought to be set straight. He went to Mr. Brewster with it and fully exolained everything. How anxious he was to win; how he lost, and all that, and I do know that Brewster believes in his manhood and honesty. I believe in him, also, and right here I declare myself. Sunol and Axtell. It is sincerely to be hoped that the much talked of race between Axtell and Snool will take place, so that the ques- tion of which is the better race horse may be settled, says the Breeders' Gazette. There are a lot of people who, with- out any good reason therefor, are onntinaally asserting that Axtell is the superior of the filly. Ou what they base this assertion it is difficult to see. As a two year old, at whicb age both the stallion and the Ally began trotting, sbe was immeasurably the superior of Axtell. his best mile being 2:23, while Sunol did the distance in 2;18, completely eclipsing all previous records for that age. As a three year old her 2:104, in the opinion of thinking men, is just at much ahead of his 2;12 as her 2:18 was superior to his 2:23 when both w&re two years of age. There ib no nse bnttine against a stone wall of unassailable facta. Axtell is the greatest t-Ul- lion, in point of speed, that has thus far beea produced, but Buool has for two years shown herself his superior. What may occur when they meet in a race it would be foolish lo predictor speculate ou. The filly is a nervous thing, while Axtell ia as steady under all cireumstancea as a clock, and iu a race this matter of disposition alone might settle the con- test. If ever they meet and Axtell should win without goicg a better mile than the 2:10i of Sunol it would simply prove that she did not have her speed. In order to show himself unquestionably the beat of the pair be will have to beat Sunol and 2:1(H at the same time. If any driver can pat him in shape to do this Budd Doble is the man. He will go along carefully with the stallion, and should he dtcide to start him against the watch cv in a race where Sunol was the competitor the public wolud flock to sea the performance, knowing that Doble never brings an inferior article of goods out for show. "Pulling Matches." The following timely words taken from the Kentucky Stock Farm should be taken to heart by all who are interest- ed in the trotting horse in California, as the remarks apply equally to this State: "There seems to be a decided disposi- tion among some drivers to convert trotting races into "pull- ing matches"; the one who can get the tightest grip on his horse and drive him under the wire iu the slowest time and still save his distance is regarded us the best man. Sometimes this style of driving pays pretty well, but occa- sionally it results in "laying np" a driver fur nu indefinite number of beats. The scheme seems to work better ou some tracks than on others. The attention of one gentle- man who was using rather extraordinary skill, iu, bringing bis horse in towards the. rear of the procession was called to this as the possible result of mi exhibition of too great dex- terity in the way of preventing bis horse from t-huwiug too livtly a rate of speed, and the driver claimed that he was mere- ly carrying out an arrangement that he had previously marie with the judges' stand. About the n*»xt race be was in the sametactics were pursued, resulting iu a mild intimitation from tbe stand to the fact that a persistance in that sort of driving would in all probability lead to tbe sur>stitution of » uew driver. This was one of tbe neatest pulling m itches yet known. As it turned out, the favorite won the race. At some of the tracks driving of thin character is not atall popular, and the men who iarlu'ge iu it are liable to get iui > Iron hie when they least expect it. If it should so happen that tb^ track should be d of ihe valuable servioes, for two or three seasons, of a fea the gentlemeu who are so peonliorly skillful iu Dot « race*, the laoienUtiuus of thi friends «>f bouenl racii not be violent or protracted in their duration." 18 2£lxe §5mte awtl j^ptfrismaw.

JDANITO JB. 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 geQtle and kind, that a lady can drive him. The owner's only reason for Belling him is that business calls 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 Juanito (Bire of Almont Patcbeni, dam Nettie Moore by Old Tom Moore. For further particulars, address JTJANITO JR., Santa Clara P. O.. CaJ.

Read what J. C. Sibley, tbe owner of St. Bel, snyi ofthlBbook: "In this work Marvin bas let out all the mysteries of the craft, and it is bo simplp aod plain that any breeder, owner, trainer or rubber who bas any relish for his business can tike a colt as a yearling and develop to tbe highest ami fullest extent that colt's capacity as a trotter.

MEMO trotted in pnblic in his two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to Grandee in a rice on the Bay D'Btrict Track, the second heat of which 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 quest'on that he would hive shown in public vary close to t>ie best record. On the Oakland track he was timed a mile in2:2u 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds. As a foor-year-oid Memo only s'arted once -at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he Bhowed 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, hut after Bhowing Bevera' very fast miles his leg filled and he waB laid up for the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His cobr is a flossy black, with both fore-feet white. His disposition i« all that coulo be desired, and his action superb. He is a sure foal getter, only one mare being report-d not in foal during his last season. TERMs. $r0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th, when he will be prepared for track purposes. I ast jrage $5 per month. Have leased the cricket ground adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is flue feed.

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak- i land- The stables 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 alarge signboard of the farm is placed. Uuideboards I will be found at every crossroad, lnany ordinary weather the roadsate very good, and they are fairly good after the unusually heavy nun fall of the past winter. All stock sent from t-an Francisco may be brought over by Garcia's ExpreeB, No. 3 >farket street, San FranciBeo. They also have an order box outside of nawley Bros.' Hardware house on the corner of Market and Beale streets. The espreBB leaves San Francisco on the Creek route boat, wnich Btarts at i:3i, but all orders 6hould be in the order box at Market and Beale streets bv 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 Market I street, by 11 o'clock at the latest. In the case of verv 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 cnarge will be | made la 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 1 bring them or send them, the iarm will send after anything that ie to come. On horses that Bray three months or oyer there is no charge for getting or aeiivering. Where a horse etays a short time the actual | time and expense only is charged to him. Horsts can be shipped l>y rail from almost all parts of the Stats to San Leandro. Always notify the Farm several days before shipping anything, and then men will be on hand to receive stoi*k on arrival. The railroad station ie 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 i by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple o( boors in the car, P .ssenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gaugo ferry) and First and Broadway, Oakland, at frequent intervals during the day. I here are several trains from San Jose to san Leandro on both the broad and narrow gauge railroads; the broad gan^e, by way of relies, iB much more convenient f jr get.ing to the farm. There are tniius each day from Sacramento, Stockton andLherraore to San Leandro. In ordi- nary weather it is a short and pleasant drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from San Francisco lo the Farm by way of the Creek route ferry boat.

They were reported to have been the pick of the country, and they were selected personally by the Sullan, but they nevertheless turned out to be very ordinary animals. However, the matter is explained by the fact that the offi- cials who had charge of their shipment. Oriental like, sold the original animals and substituted inferior ones. There were two saddle horse races at Greenville on the 5th, the first a half mile and repeat with eight starters. The first heat was won by Branley's Black Fuss, Stark's Susie second, Smith's Rock tbird. Time, :55. The second heat was taken by Stark's Susie in 57.,, Black Puss second. Rock third. The third heat and race was won by Susie in :o9l. Black Puss second. The quarter race had four entries, Rock, Coyote, Blue Jay and D. L. Rock won first and second heats in :27 and 27* respectively, Coyote being second. Fannie Swope, a four-year-old daughter of Florida, for which a cash offer of $6,000 has been refused, was purchased at a Kentucky auction sale list year for $620 by a Boston horseman who liked her looks and remembered what Fortu- na, Frenzy aud Faust, all by Florida, had been doing. Florida is another instance of a horse beginning to sire speed in his old age. Barring Walnut and Lotta, Florida never got any- thing that was of much account during the many years he stood in New York and Illinois, but since going to Kentucky he haB done wonderfully well and is now largely patronized at a large fee. W. McCormick is credited with saying that "Flambeau (Wildidle — Flirt (imp) ) can beat Racine after going a mile and any part of the road before going it and do it easily." HeDry Walsh assured me both last year and this spring that from one jump to the Rocky Mountains Flambeau could beat Racine, and slowly but surely I had to acknowledge that the veteran was right. Flambeau hadlhe been out east, all right, this year would have romped away from all the three year olds, and even Salvator would have known he had had a race when he got through with the royally bred son of Wildidle and imp Flirt by Hermit, grand dani by Wild Day- rell, who like Hermit was a Derby winDer, Splan tells a very good story about Doble'a experience at one of the Northwestern Circuit meetings last year. A farmer had a horse entered at the meeting aud managed to get Doble to drive him. He was very well pleased with the showing until his horse was not returned as a winner, and sought out Splan in order to learn how much he should give the present trainer of Axtell. "Well," said Splan, "Bsdd trains horses for three dollars a day, I think, and about half that should be all right." The countryman swallowed the bait, and started out to rind Djble. Splan followed, but was annoyed to see Bndd decline the agriculturalist's munificent offer of $2 for the afternoon's work. The New York Spirit in the racing gossip anent the pedi- gree of Salvator (taken from a western Exchange) says Prince Charlie was dubbed the Prince of the T. Y. C, and says that it means the two-year-old course distance about a mile. As a matter of fact, the T. Y. C. varies from 5 to 6 furlonga, but is never understood to be a mile. At Newmarket the two- year-old course on the Hat is 5 furlongs and 14 yards, while the new two-year-old course on which the July stakes is run is 5 furlongs and 136 yards, as is the Ascot T. Y. C. At Epsom the T. Y. C. is 6 furlongs, a i it is at Brighton, Good- wood and Siockbridge. The T. Y. C. at Doncaster is 7 fur- longs, 214 yards. Bath, Lincoln, Beverley, Durham, Man- chester, Sandown and York call o furlongs the T. Y C. A distinguished man once remarked that a mule has no pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity. When nature has produced a mule she generally stops there and the series ends, as with other hybrids. There are, however, a few cases on record of productive mare mules but .they are so rare as to be justly regarded as freaks of nature. A case of this sort is reported in the American Agriculturist, The mare mule is owned on the ranch of Mr. Timothy Dyer, Wyoming. The sire is a gray stallion, also owned by Mr. Dyer. The colt is piebald brown and white. On the haunch- es it shows the short hair and dark brown hide of its dam. Two other authenticated cases are reported of mare mules producing foals, both of which were exhibited for a long time in the Jardin des Plantes, Paris. RoBie C was given by our reporter as by Hambletonian Mambrino— dam by Pathfinder. There appears to be consider- able doubt yet a3 to the pedigree of Clancey's pacer, Rosie C, who made the great record of 2:22i last week at Tacoma. The Oregonian," says; She was entered last year as a Ham mare, and Goddard, who came near buying her once, says she is by old Ham out of a Rockwood mare. Mr. Smiley says the same. Mr. Tongue thinks she is by Duroc Prince, dam by Pathfinder. At any rate, De Lashmutt owns her mother. If it is the Rockwood mare, 6he is out of the Pathfinder mare, and the latter will foal again in a few days. As the City View fall programme gives a $1000 purse for pacers, Rosie C will have an opportunity to show if she can beat this time. A measure is now before the British Parliament which has for its object the official and systematic registration of far- riers and shoeing smiths throughout the coantry. It is pro- posed that no one should be permitted to shoe horses who has not previously obtained from the Farrier's Company a diploma, which would only be delivered after careful exami- nation into the man's technical and practical knowledge of the business. The latter is one in which technical instruc- tion is essentially requisite. For unskillful treatment, whether in medicine, surgery, or even in the shoeing of a horse, is only one remove from criminal carelessness, and whereas the human creatnres are able to protest and com- plain, the poor beast is obliged to bear in silence, and can only indicate its suffering by a limp. The ownerB of the City View park seem to have a kindlier feeling for the race interests than was generally supposed, 6ays the Portland Oregonian. At the last meeting of the stockholders it was agreed that a committee should be ap- pointed to see if the grounds eooid be disposed of for race track purposes for $125,000. It is understood that the ma- jority of the stockholders favor having a race track kept up there. It appears to be the only convenient and adequate grcund for a race track near the city. The project has been proposed and urgently pressed, to cut up the tract for suburban property- By this arrangement, probably $200, 000 could ba realized from the 17S acres which compose illd champion "Bogardus." With Bruner. Taber and Chick, Southern California feels proud." J. W. Funk, a farmer of Hey worth, 111., is one of the 14,- 000 inventors who are competing for the prize of $125,000 offered by the government of New South Wales for the trap which may be decided to be the most likely to be effective in ridding that country of its fearful pests of crop destroying rabbits. He has received a letter from Australia sayiog that the committee which is to decide the matter has looked with favor upon his modtls, and inviting him to visit Australia and demonstrate the working of the trap. . He will probably do eo in a few weeks. The trap is bimple and cheap. It is a device to dump the rabbits, one at the time, into the pit by means of a platform swung on pivots below a suspended bait. In a trap of similar device has he caught fifty-seven in one night in a cornfield. A device in use in Kern County ,this S ate is to lay a section of say eight inch stove pipe over a pit, the pipe being cut away directly over the month of the hole. The rabbits, in trying to pass through the pipa, fall into the pit in n ambers, more than a hundred have been taken at one time. Several notes bearing upon the question whether the bite of the polecat, Mephitis Mephitica, gives rise to rabies or not have come to hand. On June 18th, near Pres- cott Arizona, a cowboy named Charles Morris died from rabies caused by the bite of a skunk. From later advices it is learned that Morris was out on a round-up near Camp Verd and, of coarse, made his bed on the ground. While asleep one night about May lit, he was attacked by a email skunk, which bit him on the nose and showed fight when Morris jumped up. The animal was killed and the man felt but little worse for the bite until a week had passed, when he was taken with severe pains in the head. The trouble appeared to develope slowly and it was not until five weeks had passed that he died, in dreadful convulsions, foaming at the month and snapping. In ChinoVulJey, sixty miles from Prescott, another man was bitten by a skunk about the same time. He also died within a few weeks and with every indication of rabies. Near Pleasant Valley, Gila county Arizona, during the latter part of May a cattle-man nsmed Conway, who was lying asleep on the ground in the early evening, was bitten through the ear by one of the little creatures. He caught it by the tail and knocked its head off against a rock, laid down to sleep again and not even washed his ear on which the ani- mal's saliva had left a gummy froth. The marks of the skunk's teeth are plainly to be seen, two small pieces being bitten oat, bat as yet Conway has experienced no bad effects. It may be that the poison of the saliva did not get into the blood. The larger or spotted skunk does not seem to be as offen- sive as the smaller variety, but is a peaceful creature only defending itself when attacked.

Editor Breeder a>"D Sportsman;— You will doubtless have forgotten me, but I had the pleasure of meeting you some three years ago at the Western Field TrialB, held at Abilene, Kaosas, and yourself, Mr. Pray, Mr. Eutchine of Texas, and myself, spent two or three very pleasant evenings together talking over pointers and setters. I returned to Eogland soon after that, but as a great in- terest seemed to be springing up for coursing in this country, and being passionately fond of the sport, I came oat again and brought two greyhonnds, "Partera" and ''White Lips," with me. The former I purchased of Mr. Leonard Pilking- ton, the well known Lancashire courser and owner of Bur- paby, winner of the Waterloo Cup. I got Partera quite as a personal favor from bim, as he never sells any greyhounds /rocs bis kennels, She won seven courses oat of nine when owned by Mr. Pilkington. She is by Mortimer out of Mrs. Jinks, Mortimer by Peter oat of the great Coomassie, twice winner of the Waterloo Cup. Peter is a litter brother to Paris, sire of Miss Glendyne and Bit of Fashion, who is the mother of Col. North's Fullerton, twice winner of the Waterloo Cop. White Lips won the Midway puppy Btakes in England be- fore I bought her, and since living in this country she was the runner np in the Field Cup at Gr. Bend in 1888, and also in 1889, and yoa will have seen by the reports of thoBe meet- ings in the papers, that it was the general opinion of those that saw the races, that it was only a bit of bad luck that pre- vented her winning eaoh year. She is by Hotspur out - with difficulty that subscriptions can be secured in fai ■ - large amounts. The committee haviog the matter in -har "« is in nowise neglectful, and may be relied upon to gather a great a sum as possible, not only because of their interest in coursing, but also for the credit of the State. It takes money to brine out good dogs; $5,000 would not be too large an amount to hang op in the various events. The proposition to run a 128 dog stake does not impress us so favorably as another to run several smaller stakes. Thelargtrstake makes it practically impossible to keep dogs well keyed up for the several days necessary to run off a stake of such magnitude- 64 dogs is eoough in any one event. Mr. M. D . Walter, whose Field Trial training kennel at Gait is one of the most popular in the west, visited San Fran- cisco early in the week, partly on business and partly to inhale a few whiffs of the salt laden air, which makes San Francisco so enjoyable a place of residence for all reasonably healthy persons. Mr. Walter reports his Field Trial puppies in fine condition and most promising. The pair owned by Senator Goucher and F. B. Dexter of Fresno, both of them by Loadstone— Enid.are particularly preity.fast and biddable. Mr. J. S. Dunham's Rodney— Phyllis II. puppy is like his" sire, a sizable, free-going, fearless youngs'er. Mr. Waller remarked that he had sent to her owDer, Mr. E. M. Arthur of Portland, the red setter Countess by Kfeding's Duke— Cal- ifornia Belle. Countess, in Mr. Walter's hands, developed beautifully in all respects, her nose not, however, having yet reached perfection. She will doubtless in time develop all the strong hunting instinct of her dam. At last that pointer enthusiast and keen sportsman Mr. J. Martin Barney, condescends to explain his long silence in these words, from Dutch Flat: 'T have been so busy since my return from the East that I have not taken a gun in my hands. In fact I have not been away from home bnt very little. I had made up my mind to have lots of sport with the dogs during the last qaail sea- son, "but the best laid plans, etc., etc." Yoa know what a terrible winter we had, and although we had "La grippe," we were forced to stand by our shovels or get snowed under. It was nothfng but snow, snow, snow, and it was almost im- possible to get help of any kind. I managed to save my buildings here, bat my damp houses, blacksmith shops and other baildngs at Lowell Hill succumbed to the immense weight of snow, and collapsing smashed the cars into splin- ters and destroyed quite a quantity of pipe, tools, etc. All of this plant had to be put in shape again before we could take oat a dollar, and although it looked like a summer job when we started, a few weeks more and we will be rolling out the gravel again." As an illustration of the extremes to which doggy men can go in opinions, we present a few extracts from a letter re- ceived from a resident of the South and East who has seen more or less of the dogs he mentions and of held trials for some years. He writes: 'T am not what they call a doggy man," as you know. I run dogs in the field because God gave them four legs. I think it very doubtful if bench shows have done anything to give us any improvement. It is much like the country fair against the race coarse. Mr. Londsdale has sent a crowd to beat as in trials. He may, but if he does it will be tbe first instance of a turnip field against our rangers. There has been no contest that I remember where an English imported dog has done anything in his first year on our birds. Bang Bang, a second rate any way, under the skillful hands of Capt. McMurdo, did nothing till he was too old to do anything good, and then he took a second place in perform- ance. Mainspring may be quoted as an exception, but he was phenomenal and did nothing till hiB second year. Graphic has been a soft failure. Beaufort was below criticism in the field, though bred in this country, and is perhaps beyond the range of my present remark. I never knew of Osborne Ale*s doing anything except through his descendants. Sensation, a much advertised doc, was worthless. Of course we owe everything to English blood, but never to my knowledge in the first generation. Look at the setters Rockingham, Count Howard, etc. Ton might as well put a poodle in the race." ROD. The Fish Commission Investigation- On Tuesday afternoon last, at the office of Hon. J. Downey Harvey, the changes made by Thomas Tunsteud agaiost Chief of Patrol, F. P. Callundun, were investigated. The meeting was held with closed doors, none but the Fish Com- miBsioners and Messrs. Tunstead, Callundan, Eonid and Curley beiDg present. Mr. Tunstead charged under oath that F. P. Callondan had, daring April, May and June 1890, received $15 per month from each of three Chinese whom be mentioned. When asked to prodace his evidence Mr. Tun- stead said he could not compel his witnesses to attend, but would take tbe Commissioners into the presenoe of thu Chinese mentioned in his charges. This was done, and in each instance the Chinese denied having at any time or :o any connection pnid F. P. Callundan any money forany pur- pose whatsoever. When asked for further evidence Mr. Tun- stead said he bad none. The result was the complete and absolute exoneration of F. P. Callundan from iu- made under oath by Tunstead. Not ooe jjt of evidence wa« produced that even implicated Callundan. We are I upon tbe best authority that Tunstead's charges were without foundation, in so far as F. P.

Haiper pitched aiiothei of his wonderful games, the Stocktons getting hut one little hit oft his delivery. Perrott was hit rather lively and at times hard, Godar and McHale Becoring home rnnB. Both teams Belded excellently, but that of the Senators was the more brilliant, Keitz. Harper and Stapleton's work being especially noteworthy. For Stockton, Fogarty and Wilson performed the beBt fielding work. It was not till the sixth inning that the Sacramentos soored With two men ont Godar drove a "beant" to deep center making the circuit of the bases on the hit. The next inning four hits, one a. home run by McHale, an error of Fudger's and a passed ball allowed four runs and ths won tbe game for the home team. Goodenough, Stapleton, Bow- man Godar and Reitz were very effective -with the bat. Um- pire Stafford's decisions met with favor both from the con- testin» teams and the spectators '! errors were frequent and expensive the hitting was free and tbe exoitement intense. Hapeman had one of bis off days being very wild and giving Armstrong, bis baokstop, plenty of work. Wilson and Fogarty also were kept busy but ac- cepted all their chances in fine style. Hoffman was batted out of the box, being superseded by Farrell in the fourth in- ning who pitched out a good game. The best hitting in the game was done by Bowman, Koberts, Goodenough, Cahill, Fudger and Wilson.

One of the largest crowds ever assembled at the Emery grounds were present last Friday afternoon. They came to see Robinson'6 men "do" the Goblins, but were disappointed. It took twelve innings for Finn's men to win the game though, which was one of the prettiest ever played on a California diamond. Lookabaugh and Stevens formed the Frisco battery, and Lookabaugh pitched fine ball. The team back of him played like fiends, but Speer's error in the sev- enth was disastrous, permitting the Oaklands to tie the score and occasioned the protracting of the game beyond the UBual number of innings. The infield playing was superb. Stick- ney and Ebright at third base haa twenty-one chances between them, all of which were accepted in excellent Btyle. Josh Reilly and O'Neill at short, Shea and McDonald at sec- ond, and Hanley, Levy and O'Neill in the field, also did mar- vellous work in their positions. ' Old man" Perrier played first in good Btyle, but Sweeney's absence was very conspicu- ous when Perrier was at the bat. The Colonels scored one in each the first and seventh innings, while FriBco's runs came in at the fourth, sixth and twelfth, all three being earned. The winning run was made by Stevens who was the first man up in the twelfth. He drove a hot one to deep left, getting two bases on it. Ebright then sacrificed Stevens, taking\hird, and Levy's single Bent the backstop across the plate. The score: San Fbanciscos. ab r bh sb po a b Shea, 2b 6 1 2 0 6 3 1 Hanley, c J....6 12 0 4 0 0 Stevens, c 3 1 Ebright, 3b. ...6 0 Levy, 1 f 6 0 Perrier lb 4 0 Speer, r f 3 0 Reilly, s s 4 0 Lookabaugh, p 1 0 Stocktons 2 6 0 2 110 0 0-12 Bacramentos 2 0 4 0 0 2 6 0 «— 13 Earned runs— Stooktons 2.

Saturday, July 12tu at Haight St. Three thousand disgusted spectators raved and swore and hnrled anathemas at the heads of half a dozen bungling ball players who largely contributed to one of the rockiest ex. hibjtions of the national game ever perpetrated on this coast. The Frisco team lost and deserved to. The brilliant manage- ment of that team found itself without the full complement of players and so drew on the amateur ranks. Reilly was placed ehort, bat Josh was too anxious and hiB one very cost- ly error in the second inning so completely unnerved him that he slipped up on nearly ever chance offered afterward. Finn did not use much discretion in placing Stanley, a crippled man, at first. Stanley is a baokstop, and a good one, but has never made any pretensions to being a first base man, and were he in the best of condition he would have been out of his element playing that bag. His hand being badly bruised and his total unacquaintance with the position will excuse the poor showing he made. But there were others besides the amateurs who figured conspicuously in the error making. The "grand mogul's" captain and short stop, N. O'Neill, and also Lohman and Dungan took an active part in lessening their own and their clubs fielding record. i However, some of the players did field well, so we mention them. They were McDonald, Shea, Stickney, Hanley and Levy, who accepted all their chances in a neat and finished manner. The score: San Fbancisco. ab b.bh. sb to.a.e. O. O'Neill.lf.

Saturday, July 12th at Stockton. Stapleton's Senators shut ont the Stocktons in this game— ^he first time that team was goose egged this season. It was a magnificent contest full of smart and at times brilliant playing, but the cream of the honors go the pinchers. Hoff- man was almost invincible, Fogarty beiug the only man of Gas City aggregation being able to touch him for a hit Kilroy was aho in fine condition, not a hit being secured off him till the eight inning. But this was the inning the Sena- tors developed their delayed batting streak and before the third man went out, Roberts, Reitz, McHale and Goodf-nougb had acored. The runs came in on two singles, a triple, some daring base running, a base on balls and an error by Fud- ger. Daly, Reitz, Stapleton, Fogarty and Wilson had sev- eral difficult ohances but accepted them all, with tbe excep- tion of Reitz who had one excusable error. Tbe score: Stockton. At! II BH RB PO A F.

It was a conglomeration of good hitting, fine pitching, nice base running, but very poor fielding, especially on the part of the Stockton "beauties." The runs came in spasmodically. For the Gas City, they came in one by one, while the Gob* lins came home in pairB. Finn had another new man in his team and he was a success. Pokey Chase is his name, and Pokey is quite a pitcher. His work was excellent, as will be attested by a glance at the score and also by several mem- bers of the S'ockton team. Perrott was also in fine form, but the people back of him displayed a tendancy to make errors just when they should have fielded bes-t, and to these gentlemen,BDd not to Mr. Perrott, is the;defeat of the Slough City team attributable. Every player in the team had an error, with the exception of Perrott. while Duane, the new back stop, made three bad misplays, all poor throws. Josh Reilly wa3 stationed at Bhort again, for Frisco and Josh did play ball in great stjle, accepting six chances cleverly and gracefully, and erring on two — one a wild throw and the other failing to get a very meanly bit bounder. "Old man" Perrier also covered first base in a creditable manner, but waa again weak at the bat. The fielding of the Frisco was generally perfect. At the bat Ebright and Amstrong excelled and were closely followed by Shea and Cahill. The score: San Fbancisco. AB.B. BH.SB.

The Colonels were their opponents, but the ''warriors" were never "in it" with the "legislators." It promised to be a most exciting battle, as both teams were on their mettle and in great playing condition. Harper was in fine trim and Bowman, together with all the rest of the Sac- ramentos gave him grand support, Carsey was hit rather freely and was not as well supported as Harper. Charley Sweeney played second for the Oaklands on account of Mc- Donald suffering from an injured hand, while Jim played right field. The score was olose and in favor of the Senators by one ran up to the seventh inning when they added five more to their string. With one man out, Goodenough got his base on balls and was advanced to second on Daley's safe drive to left. Godar sacrificed, each man advancing a base, and both scoriog on Siapleton's beauty oast short. Bowman cracked out a safe one to right and "Stape" came home on Mc- Donald's poor throw in . Roberts then hit to O'Neill who over- threw to first, Bowman scoring. Reitz hit n high one which O'Neill also erred on, and RobertB tallied. This waa run get- ting by the wholesale.Jso McHale quieted the Colonel'sagony by flying out to O'Neill. The features of tbe game were the brilliant fieldiDg of every player in the Sacramento team, Dongan's general work and tbe hilttug of Daley, Goodeuough and Roberts. The Bcore: Sacbamento.

Sunday, July 13th at Haight St, The leaders and the tail enderB came together last Sunday morning and the result of the game was in favor of the Allen team. It would have gone to the Reports however, if they had not been guilty of some very stupid base running. The "Newsies" had out their strongest team, while the "Sports" were minus the services of Stanley and Reilly. JPhilpot was in the bos for the winners and acquitted himself credita- bly. His support from catcher Parker was good. The Aliens had another change in their inQeld, Buckley being on Erst, Lewis at second, Evatt short and Gene Broderick at third. The Utter, but recently released by the Vallejos, was the "star" of the game, accepting ten hard chances in perfect style. The out6eld had but little to do. The Reports played their usual strong game with the exception of Gray at first who made three bad errors. Ashman's men hit Phil- pot safely but six times and these hits were widely scattered. BesideB the powerful work at the bat by Van Haltren, Evatt and Monet, the prominent features were the fielding of Brod- erick, Buckley, Evatt and Thompson. Rube Levy umpired and gave fair satisfaction. Daily Reports.

SANTA ROSA vs VALLEJO. Sunday, July 13th„ at Santa Rosa. The Marines visited Santa Rosa last Sunday and defeated the borne team in a very closely contested game by a score of three to one. The fielding on both sides was excellent, but the hitting was very light. Ballz and Callen, the oppo- sing pitchers did wonderful work, the Vallejo twirler hav- ing slightly the best of it. Farrell's work behind the bat was something magnificent, twelve put outs and six assists without an error being an extraordinary performance for an amateur. TJtt for the Santa Rosas, did not do so well hav- ing foui passed balls and making two errors. There was but little work for either team in the out-field, while the in-tields had several different chances, Pace, Arlett, Kelly, Lee and Ryan capturing the honors. The result of the game brings VdlUjo up considerably in the race, and caused the Sonoma boys to drop below the 700 mark for the first time since the opening of the season. The game was umpired satisfactorily by Clipper.

The above teams visited Vallejo last Sunday aud played a poor game in presence of a few hundred spectators. The Young Giants, as is usually the case when taking a coantry trip, had a patched up team. Cusiek, Tillson and Leveqne, three of the best players,being the absentees onthis occasion. The Railroader's team was a strong one, and although mak- ing more errors than their opponents, they hit harder and ran bases furiously. Walcott was their pitcher, and this youngster is quite a winner, the Fincks getting but five hits off his delivery, while he struck out ten and gave but one base on balls. Coughlin is back again at short for them, and Billy Kennedy placed in right Held, but we do not think the change, if permanent, will be a beneficial one. Little Howell was touched np pretty lively, and when runners got on bases they lost but little time in getting round. The most promi- nent features of the game was the great base running of Bradley and McKenzie, the solid hitting of Strand, Coughlin and McKenzie, and the third base playing of Jerry Denny Dunn, The game was umpired by Gene Murphy.

McGlade and Stanley will be "Sports" battery for Sunday. Keller contemplates taking hiB team to Los Angeles soon. Philpot did some great work in the bos for the Aliens San- day, Hageriy's best friend when the Allen team plays— Old man Mac. The Vallejos are jubilant over their victory at Santa Rosa Sunday. Alec. Bradley is undoubtedly the best base runner in the amateur ranks. The tailenders, Aliens, Burlingtons and Vallejos, were all winners Sunday. Second baseman Lee has gained an unenviable reputation for playing dirty ball. Since with the Sports, Charley Van Haltran has done som» good work at the bat. "Blondie Callen" of the Santa Rosas, is enjoying a weeks' vacation at Little Lake. "South Paw" Nolan, of the old Cleveland's, is now pitch- ing for Port Townsend. A strong hitter and excellent second base man who is un* signed — Merve Thompson. Kennedy is a better short stop than Coughlin and should be kept in hie right position. Deeney, formerly of the Neuberger— Reiss team, is now a regular member of the Fincks. Harris, formerly captain and short stop of the Oaklands is now playing with the Meroeds. Jack Ryan 1b covering first base for Vallejo in A 1 style but his bitting has been rather light. Dan Armbnster'B arm has lost its cunning. His delivery is now "pie" for opposing batsmen. The amateurs would like to have a regnlar umpire ap- pointed for their games at Haight street. The Young Giants have taken quite a toboggan slide. Its time they were climbing up hill again. Vallejo is Santa Rosas Btumbling block. Grace's men have lost three of four games played to the Marines. Finn was seriously thinking of giving Baltz a chance to Bhow what he could do with the professionals. It is whispered and rumored in private circles that Frank Loughran has, or is soon to, become a Benedict. Rubs Pace, the catcher and center Belder of the Smta Ro- sas has been offered an ergagement by the Port TowDsends. Tom Buckley can play a great first bag and will divide honors with the veteran amateur in this position — Frank Delmas. Tillson, Leveque and Cueick, the Giant's best hitters and fielders were absent from the team Sunday and consequently they lost. That boy Sharp failed to get his customary three safe shots in last Sunday's game and was "chewing the rag" with him- self all afternoon. Manager Warren needs to brace up his team in several weak places. They have been losing too Bteadily of late, and the reason is quite apparent. The new grounds at Fresno will be opened next Sunday, and the game will be played bv the Merceds and Fresnos. The Fresnos will wear their new uniforms on this occasion. Monet ia the steadiest pitcher in the amateur ranks. About eight hits is the maximum number ever secured off him, and no matter how poorly the team plays back of him, he is never rattled. Tom Agnew's services are now much in demand. Accord- ing to many, Agnew is the greatest amateur pitcher on the coast, and is a slashing bard hitter and great out-tielder. He formerly played with the Phoenix team of St. Mary's College. Green of the Reports has the physique and actions of a fine catcher, and if we can judge by what work we have seen him do thus far this season, we have no hesitancy in pro- claiming that he will be one of the coming backstops of the country. Lolly Dunn of the Burlingtons is known as "Scissors" in Vallejo. Some one must have "given the snap away" that Jerry Denny the Second, puts in his time during the week measuring calico for a large retail dry goods establishment in this city. Last Sunday, Dick Nagle, who was formerly captain of the Emersons of this city and who now acptainB the Merceds, played a magnificent game for that team against the Fresno's. Nagle made two runs, two hits, had three base steals and as catcher had eight put outs, four assists and but one parsed ball. Nagle is strong enough for any of our big league teams. Jimmy English has developed into quite a twirler since he has taken up his residence in Merced, his delivery being said to be far more deceptive than that of his brother Billy, who but a few years ago was reckoned one of the most prom- ising pitchers in this country. Both the English boys were great players when here aud were never without an engage- ment. Talk about the Will & Fincks being Giants! Why, they are like midgets beside my aggregation of ball tossers, said Manager Keller the other day. I've got the biggest, heaviest, best looking lot of amateurs ever tot together in one team, and they're just commencing to show what they can do. Look at Evatt, Lewis, Buckley, McGlade, Van Haltren, Mc- Carthy for stalwarts, and if I get Agnew, who stands six feel four, I'll have the "daddy of them all," both as reeards size and pitching abilitirg SCHEDULE OF GAMES —OF THE— CALIFORNIA Base Ball League, SEASON 1890.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes. EDITED FI ABFHIPPUS, SUMMARY. The reports of the Fourth of July Bports which were un- avoidably crowded outlaBt week will be found in our columns this week. In the wheeling world the next event of import- ance will be the great road race, which will be decided in September. The athletes are looking forward to September 17th, when the meeting at Sacramento will be had. The oarsmen are nndeoided in their movements as no event of importance 1b assured for the present. The wrestlers and amateur boxers are patiently awaiting the long evenings when their sports will be in favor. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. I had a letter a eonple of days ago from Joseph Barr Buch- anan, "the champion amateur all round athlete, who is at present studying to be a surgeon in one of the leading medi- cal colleges in Chicago. Mr. Bo.cb.anan informed me that he has resolved to take up athletics again, and will mase a big effort to break Gray's shot putting record of 45 feet 1 inch at the game which will be held in Chicago during the month of September. I notice that ex-President Giry of the Alpine Club is striving to gain popularity as a boxing manager. If he has any intention of becoming popular as a business man, I would advise him to keep clear of the would be pugilists that constantly hang around him. If the Olympic Club desires to retain its amateur athletes it woald act very wisely in forbidding some of its officers from giving information to the Sporting Editor of a prominent evening paper which makes it a rule never to miss a chance to make the public believe that there are two factions in the Olympic Club. The paper in question has always been noted forits untiring efforts in this behalf, and if it is allowed to continue in its course unchecked there will in reality be a division of opinion amongst the members of the Winged O Club. The approaching 25 mile road race of the Bay City Wheel- men is attracting all the attention of the wheelmen. I un- derstand that a good many of the San Jose boys are in strict training for the event, and if reports be true the Smyth broth- era of that city are determined to win the two first prizes. Some of the Bay City boys smile, however, at the idea, and assert that all the first places will be captured by men who represent the B. C. "W. The 11th cross country run of the Olympic Club will take place to-morrow from Ross Jackson's cottage a* Sansalito. A large number of the Olympians will participate, and I have been told on the quiet that a couple of the participants will make an effort to knock spots out of all previous records over the course. The Alpine Club officers are addressing circulars to all members notifying them that the club will move to Central Park, corner 8th and Market Streets, on or about August 1st. Members who are two or more months in arrears by that time will be exDelled. The last issue of the New York Clipper contains an excel- lent picture of W A. Scott of the 0 A C, t gether with a sum- mary of his wins. I am inclined to think that there will be no club competi- tion at next yearB' championship meeting. In less than a year from now the O A C team will be so powerful that none of the other clubs will make any effort to win the .pennant. Of course there wilJ always be an individual jealousy, and the competitions on this score will not lack in interest. The prizes won at the Scottish Thistle Club games on the Fourth of July were distributed in the Mechanics' Pavilion on Friday evening. The amateur runners especially re- ceived great applause. The Hand Book of the California division L. A. W. has just been issued to the members. It iB a very neat publication and should prove a valuable acquisition to all wheelmen. It contains 92 pages of very interesting matter besides several photographs of the leading coast wheelmen and other views of importance. As a supplement it has a large, excellent map of California.

Jelleneak is a promising novice, and his running speaks well for his future performances. Foster, a youngster in appearance, surprised every one with his hurdle jumping. He is most undoubtedly the com- ing champion at this event. The race meet of the L. A. W. which took place at San Jose, Cal., on Friday, July 4th, waB a flattering succes. The all weather and attendance were that could be desired. The track, however, might have been in better condition, and it was owing to its roughness that many of the reoords made were so poor. The following is a summary of the competi- tors; One Mile Safety State Championship Race — J F Ives, Ala- meda, 1st; T H Doane, San Francisco, 2nd. Time, 3min 18 3-5seos.

The fair Bex were out in full force. The morning parade on the Fourth brought out over 200 wheelmen and was a big success. The parading wheelmen were nobly received along the route. Every window was tilled with the admirers of the bi- cycle men. The track was very uneven and hard to travel on. The attendance at the races was about 1200. Henry Lichtenstein, of San Francisco, was kept busy all day explaining the proceedings to his many fair admirers. G. P. Wetmoie, of the B. C. W., was an interested specta- tor and when any good performance was done he was one of the first to applaud. Several of the San Franoisco wheelmen rode on to Santa Cruz in preference to staying over at San Jose. The young maidens of San Jose are anxiously looking for- ward to another meeting. The night parade waB but poorly attended as the majority of the wheelmen were either tired or else getting ready for the ball. The ball was a great affair. Several hundred couples were on the floor and the main ball room looked dazzling. The gentlemen all appeared in evening dress. The music was tine. Burke, of Los Angeles, did not do as well as was expected of him. He hurt his knee, and was unable to appear at hia best. The Smiths had things ell their own way. Julius appears to be rapidly improving, and in future will make the pace very hot in any races he may enter. It is hardly possible that either of the brothers will be sent East, for it is almost a certainty that there are much better men to be found in the State. Up to the present time, Julius Smith has been singularly fortunate in not having had to compete with some of the cracks. When he does meet some of the best men, it is cer- tain that he will bring much credit on his native town. The shape of the track was perfect, but that was about ii# only redeeming feature. The Bay City Wheelmen members did not appear to take a genuine interest in the meet. The few that did attend, how- ever, were very enthusiastic. Captain Sig. B. Morse, of the American Bicycle Club, pre- ferred travelling on to Santa Cruz. Most of the winners were new men, and they will take great pride in showing their dearly won prizes. A regular meeting of the Bay City Wheelmen was held on Monday evening. A regular meeting of the Oakland Bicycling Club was held at the residence of Secretary, Sam S. Small, 804 10th Street, Oakland, on Tuesday evening. The Buy City Wheelmen may give a grand road race on September 8th on the San Leandro triangle Time handi- caps will be allowed, and valuable prizes will be awarded. It is expeoted that a good many entries will be received from the other clubs. G. H. Gihon, of the Oakland Bicycle Club, is enjoying a couple of week's rest in the Yosemite Valley. The San Francisco Wheelmen were left out in the cold at San Jose, and now perhap3 some of them may wake up and begin training. MISCELLANEOUS. The lawn tenuis tournament for the Pacific Coast champi- onship closed on Sunday last at San Rafael. W. H. Taylor, of San Francisco, won the title of champion. The game deoiding the championship closed as follows: Taylor 6 9 6 Yates 4 7 0 President W. M. Newhall, of the Pacific States Tennis Tournament, in an appropriate manner presented the cham- pionship Cap to Taylor. A picked team of famous football players of Scotland will reach this city early in August, and on Labor Day will meet the champions of America, The married members of the Burnaby Cricket Club, defeated the single members on Sunday last at the Alameda groundi by a score of sixty-four rans and one wicket. The Shelter Cove baths at the toot of Mason Street has been doing a lively business for some time past. The Lur- line Club swimmers, who practice there, generally attract a large crowd of fair spectators. The Crystal and Palace baths are thronged nightly. Swim- ming and diving contests are held a couple of times a week at each resort. Over 1,500 visitors sat in the gallery of the Terrace baths at Alameda on Sunday watching the bathers. Spiller and Cap- tain Volliner, of the Pacific Swimming Club, were .in the water the greater part of the afternoon, and kept the crowd interested with their scientific and daring feats. THE SCOTTISH THISTLE CLUB GAMES. Tip-top Performance by Professional and Am' ateur Athletes. • OVER 7,000 PEOPLE WITNESS THE SPORTS. The eighth annual games and picnic of the Scottish Thistle Club were held at Shell Mound Park, Berkeley on Friday, July 4tb, commencing at 9 a. m. Atteudance, 7,000; track ten laps to the mile and in fair condition. Weather charm- ing and suitable for out-door sports. It was expected that Peter Melotyre would meet Charley Little in the long race for professionals, but as the former had to be in attendance at the Olympic Club grounds, where games were beiog held, the spectators were disappointed. The race was won by Tom Kendal with Little a close second. The knowing sports seem to think that if Mclctyre had been able to enter the race the Scotchmen would have backed him heavily and then Little would have shown his hand by cantering away from his opponents. The amateur races brought out some of the fastest men on the coast and were splendidly contested. A little kicking was done regarding the handicaps, but every one cannot be pleased on such an occasion, and Captain Jordan, under the ' circumstances, showed good judgment in his handicapping. The following is a summaxy of the different contests with the names of the runners: Quoits, first prize S7; second prize $4; third prize $3— R Jardine first; James Curry second; J M Forsythe third.

As will be seen by the advertisement in another col- umn, the Ormsby County Agricultural Association asks for entries to a first class programme for races to take place from September 29th to October 4th inclusive. Those of the California contingent who saw fit to go over to the Bister State last fall were highly delighted with the treatment that they received, and spoke in the high est terms of the management. The purses offered by this Association are extremely liberal and will warrant many of our horse owners in taking their trotters and runners over into Nevada. There are twenty-four events in all, consisting of trotting, pacing and running raceB, the large majority of which are open to all; however, wherever the word District occurs in the programme it is intended to mean the State of Nevada and Mono, In- yo, Alpine, Modoc, Lassen, Sierra and Plumas Counties in California.. The entries do not close until the 15th day of August, so that it will give all ample opportunity to determine whether they will take advantage of the liberality of the Directors of th3 Nevada Association. As the time draws near to make entries, we shall have oc- casion again to call attention to thiB exceedingly good programme. Arrangements have been made with a prominent tarf W riter to furnish the Breeder and Sportsman with a full id detailed acoonnt or the great race between Jack 2:15, .-id Palo Alto, 2;12J, which will take place at either Cleve- land or Detroit, in chelaetweek of this month. Naturally, the match race will have great interest for onr readers, and a zull report will be given. The Horseman's Stake. "Week before last an advertisement appeared in the Breeder and Sportsman asking for entries to the Horseman's Guaranteed §12,500 Stake for trotting foals of 1890, and no better illustration can be given of the great value of this paper as an advertising medium than the fact that notwithstanding the great number of breed- ing farms now located east of the Rocky Mountains, that a larger number of entries were made from California than from any other State or Territory in the Union. The four largest representations are California 86, Ken- tucky 61, New York 52, and Illinois 40, while there is a total number of 532 nominations, the produce of 234 different stallions, and representing 267 different breed- ers. In speaking of the event, the Horseman says: California, with the eighty-Bix representatives of its genial climate, will be a strong factor when the stake is narrowed down to a decision. Kentucky, New York, Illinois, Michi- gan and Pennsylvania contribute liberally, as do all the prin- cipal breeding States, while from away down East in New Brunswick four youngsters are named to meet one from "Washington, one from Alabama, one from Utah and two from the Indian Territory. From all the points and extremesthey come to claim supremacy for each breeding section, and to uphold the glory of the blood they carry. The other States no longer propose to leave the richest prizes for California and Kentucky to decide alone. The spread and growth of the breeding interest has demonstrated that when Iowa can grow an Astell, Michigan a Jack and Aloryon, and Maine a Nelson, it is not vain for Northern breeders to dispute the prestige of the blue-graBS region and the golden slope. Those who entered from California are as follows: Palo Alto Stock Farm 30, G. Valensin 14, San Mateo Stock Farm 10, Pleasanton Stock Farm 8, Sam Gamble 4, Souther Farm 3, La Siesta Ranch 3, Geo.E. Guerne 2, Wilfred Page 2, Ariel Lathrop, Jno. A. Goldsmith, HeDry T. RudiBill, G. W. Stimpson, L. U. Shippee, and W. A. Gamble, one each. This makes a total of 82 repre- sented by California breeders, but there are four others entered from California, the mares now being in this State, although owned in the East. The "Horseman" may well feel complimented on the result of its generosity, for up to the present time no association or individual has had the courage to guaran- tee such a large amount for trotting foals, and we sin- cerely trust that the gentlemen who have seen fit to launch this purse to the trotting world may receive due recompense for their liberality. Politics and the Fish Commission. At intervals during the few weeks last passed, the news- papers in the city have contained what purported to be reports of the transactions of the Board of Fish Com- missioners. We readily concede to every newspaper the desire to publish facts in its news columns, and are not disposed so take exceptions to any editorial based upon what really are facts,but we feel constrained to say that never during an experience of some years have all of the daily newspapers of San Francisco concurred in stating as facts what were really not so, as in the case of the re- Dorts of the investigation of charges made against Chief of Patrol Callundan by Tunstead, formerly a deputy Fish Commissioner. The Commission, very unwisely, we think, resolved to hold its session privately so that such reportB as have been made must have resulted from interviews with some one, or all of those present; no re- porters being permitted to attend. We are advised by three of the gentlemen present, including the two hon- orably gentlemen, members of the Board and the Chief of Patrol, that they had furnished no statement to the press, thus leaving the responsibility for the reports pub- lished to reBt upon Tunstead, Curley and Ennia. We are told at second hand that Enuis furnished nothing to the reporters, and we believe that such statements as were made for publication were made by Tunstead. In his formal charges, sworn to, Tunstead mentioned but one man aB guilty, viz., the Chief of Patrol. The Board con- vened to investigate the charges against the Chief and for no other purpose. We are advised by Hon. Jos Routier, President of the Commission, that not only was no proof in support of the charges presented by Tun- stead, but the witnesses denied absolutely ever having had any transactions with the Chief of Patrol, or having paid him any money at any time for any purpose. If the daily newspapers received their information from Mr. Tunstead, and he failed to Btate the fact just men- tioned, then he must be guilty of lack of candor; if he stated the fact and the newspapers suppressed it, then the onus of course reHts upon them. To account for the squabbles and the unpleasantness incident to the work of the Fish Commission is not an easy matter. The office of commission is one without salary, and it must, be conceded that it is held either for personal gratifica- tion or for political reasons. We hesitate to ascribe to either of the present incumbents and such little vanity as can be made to plume itself for such slight reason( and we conclude that political forces are subserved by membership in the Board. If this be so, then the ap- pointments made by the Board are likely to be made primarily as political rewards, a reason which may in- duce the service of a good man, but is as likely not to do so. Of all State Boards, it would seem that the Fish and Game Commission should last come under political management, pure and simple, its duties are so directly at varience with those of other Boards. To conserve a food supply; to increase and distribute edible and de- sirable fishes; to introduce and maintain and protect such wild birds and varieties of game as are likely to become acclimatized, these are the simple and pacific duties of a Fish Commissioner an! of Deputy Fish Commissioners; not to brawl unceasingly. It is probably easier to sug- gest than to change, but we submit that the Fish Com- mission should be taken absolutely out of politics. Auction Sales. Messrs. Killip & Co. announce to our readers this week that on next Monday they will sell a consignment of trotting and thoroughbred horses, the property of M. A. Foster, Esq. of Los Angeles, at the City Front Stables, Washington street, this city, at 11 o'clock a. m. The majority of the animals to be offered are from four to six years of age, and comprise the get of such well known sires as Grinstead, Silvercloud, Silverthread, and by sous of Overland and Sacramento. No doubt there will be many bargains picked up at this offering, and those who are looking for good, cheap horses would do well to attend the sale. Full description and pedigree of the animals will be ready on Monday, and tho^e who desire to purchase may know exactly what they are getting. The same firm also announces that they will sell at the Railroad Stables, corner of Turk and Steiner streets, on Thursday and Friday, September 4th and 5th, an im- portant consignment of trotting horses and thoroughbred Holstein cattle, the property of J". H. White, Esq., of Lakeville, Sonoma County. This lot will comprise over forty head of highly bred trotting stallions, broodmares, colts and fillies, many of them standard. From personal knowledge we can truthfully say that they are all excep- tionally fine individuals. Electioneer, Director and An- tevolo blood is prominently mixed up in Mr. White's sta- ble, and we feel assured that those who purchase will get good value for their money. The cattle comprise over 100 heads of thoroughbred, registered Holstems, and as the progenitors of this herd were selected from the most famous breeding establishments of the East, it can read- ily be seen that an extraordinarily good chan«e is offered for those who wish to purchase this particular breed. The herd have taken many premiums whenever shown, and we can confidently recommend them to the cattle- men of the State. The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake. On the first day of last January the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake closed with 284entrieB, which up to that date was one of the largest Futurity Stakes fortrotting foals that had ever been started in the United States. According to the conditions, the second pay- ment of S 10 each falls due on Friday, August 1st by which time it will become necessary for all who desire to remain in the stake to make their second payment. As is well known this paper guarantees the purse to be worth ©3000 at maturity, and from the present indica- tions it will be worth a great deal more. Following in the footsteps of the Breeder and Sportsman many other associations have opened up like stakes and all of them have met with great success, but even then from the large number who entered in this stake, there can be no reasonable doubt but what the winner of the first money will receive a larger amount than was ever paid over before in a trotting race in this State. Those having entries must remember that on Friday, August 1st the second payment of $10 eaoh is due. Pedigrees of Trotting Horses. We particularly call the attention of all Secretaries of Associations to the rules of both the National and American Trotting Associations, which require that the name, color, sire and dam of horses entered, be given. For the past few months we have been endeavoring to straighten out as far as possible the pedigrees of as many of the old California horses as we could, but we find it very up-hill work, as in looking over the old newspapers we find that but very rarely have pedigrees ever been given for the contestants. It is particularly desirous that pedigrees be given in full, or if not known, to be so stated. There is another point too that ha9 great bearing in the matter of pedigrees, and that is to the student who wishes to study the blood lines of prom- inent horses so as to discover what are the best liDes to breed to, what crosses would prove the most effective, and at the same time produce speed; this is impossible 1890 Site !mto attd ^pxrrtsman. 37 when horses are started as they have been in the past and no pedigrees given. It is to be hoped that the Di- rectors of all Associations in conjunction with the Secre- tary will demand from those who make entries that a full pedigree be given whenever it is possible to do so. The Corbitt Horses- As is only natural at this season of the year, rumors fly thick and fast in reference to the work done by horses who may be entered in their various classes throughout the com- ing circuit, and it is not long ago that we heard an acconut of some pbenominal yearlings that might be seen at the San Mateo Stock Farm: happening by chance to meet Mr. Goldsmith, he informed the writer that there were several Sable Wilkes youngsters down at the farm which would bear inspection, not only for good looks but alio for the amount of speed that they could show. Having an idle day on Saturday last a trip was made to the home of Guy Wilkes for the purpose of taking a look at the stock in general, and the wonderful yearlings in particular. As good luck would have it, the trip was not made alone, for on arriving at the depot at Fourth andTownsend streets, we were more than pleased to find aB companions Mr. Yal- ensin, the owner of Sidney, and also tnat old and well known trotting horse driver, Wilber Field Smith of Sacramento both of these gentlemen being on their way to see the same eights that had actuated the writer in making the trip. As is only natural to suppose, in suoh pleasant company the time passed very speedily and it seemed but a few minutes before we were at Oak Grove, a station which is situated on Mr. Corbitt's place. We found the proprietor in waiting with a team to drive us up to the stables and in little or no time we were shakiog hands with Mr. G.13smith and his atl« assistants, John Rogers and Chris. Lang. Since our last visit to the farm many improvements have been made, in fact, as the proprietor Bays, "We try to keep improving all the time". The kindergarten track, without which no first-claBs farm is supposed to be complete, has been finished and is one of the very best in the country; no expense having been spared to make it perfect in every par- ticular. La Grande having died, his place is now filled by Leo Wilkes and the stallion service has also been augumented by the entrance to stud duty of Eegal Wilkes 2:20J, that being . the fastest two-year-old stallion record in the world. It is true that the young son of Gny Wilkes has only been bred to a very few mareB, bat it is to be hoped that his days may be long on the San Mateo Stock Farm for stallion duty. On our arrival, although we started at an early hour, the sun was well up in the Heavens, and after a very short glance arou nd the stables, Mr. Goldsmith ordered ou the yearlings for the work of the day; and taken all in all, it must be confessed that there is a doubt existing as to whether there is another stock farm in the country where five yearlings can be seen, each and every one of which has gone a quarter in 41 seconds or better, one of them having completed the distance in 37 seconds. It is true that while we were present the time was not quite so fast, yet still enough was shown to convince ns that Mr. Corbitt has some of the best yearlings in the coantry. The first one brought out for inspection was by Sable Wilkes and out of Laura Drew. This representative of a noted stallion was shown to ns twice during the forenoon; the first quarter being accomplished in 41} Beconds, while on a second attempt the youngster had no trouble in going the same distance in even time. It is so rarely that one can see even in this great breeding State, yearlings going quarters in 40 seconds that the spectators were more than pleased at the sight, and Mr. Corbitt was heartily congratulated on the possession of such a speedy yearling. Another of the young ones was by Sable Wilkes and out of Blanche, the dam of Hazel Wilkes 2:20, who is a oredit to both sire and dam; this one oompleted a quarter in 40£ sec- onds, proving the right to be claimed a fast one. However, the one that seemed to more particularly please the onlookers than any of the others, was a black yearling by Sable Wilkes, dam Mamie Comet 2:23} by Nutwood; for perfect and complete trotting action this was given the palm by all of us, notwithstanding that it took him 41 seconds to go the same distance that the others did; clean gaited, hand- 8omely put up, without a point that would be changed if it could, he is a representative colt, an honor to the great breeding farm from which he comes. In between the heats of the "babies" we were shown Bupee and Hazel Wilkes, Bupee being a pacer from whom much is expected. He Is a big sturdy fellow by Gny Wilkes, dam Sable Haywood and had little or no trouble in Bhowing us a mile in 2:28. However, it might be here stated that he and Hazel were worked together, Bodgers driving the mare while Goldsmith handled the ribbons over Bupee; the last half of the mile was made in 1:12J while the last quarter was com- pleted in 35 seconds. Hazel does not seem to have lost any of her old speed and it is extremely probable that when she is brought to face the starter on the coming circuit she will be able to show milos faster than ever she did. The piide of the farm, Begal Wilkes, was also brought nut for exercise, his time for a mile being 2:36. However, Gold- smith extended him in the last quarter and the great young stallion was timed by Mr. Valensin in 3«, while Mr. Corbitt and Mr. Smith made it 35. Lillian Wilkes 2:17J as will be remembered by our readerB was withdrawn from the turf last year after a very short campaign, she developing lamenesB in her left foreleg: after Borne time a splint became noticeable, for which she was fired and blistered and was turned out for nearly all the winter months. However, a short time ago she was again taken up and given very slow work, as Mr. Goldsmith does not wish to have a recurrence of last year's trouble if it oan possibly be avoided. The mare looks well, seems in the pink of con- dition, although a little stout for tracs work but aeems eager to take hard work once more. Neither Mr. Goldsmith nor Mr. Corbitt could give any aB. surance that she would be seen this season on the circuit, but the proprietor did not hesitate to say that if in future Bhe showed up well in her work, able to beat her former rec- ord, that most assuredly the race going public of California would have a chance to see her later on in the year. After the speed trials a look was taken at the various brood mares and their foals, which are to be found scattered over the entire farm. Mr. Corbitt unhesitatingly said that all of his yearlingB of 1S91 would be sold at public auction, as he did not wish to be accused of keeping back any stock at all for racing purposes, and consequently he was going to give Eastern buyers a chance at all of the gilt edged young ones which are at present to be found at San Mateo Stock Farm. "The King Bee" of the lot, if he mcy be so termed, is a suckling foal by Guy Wilkes, 2:15], dam Buby 2:I9J, by Sul- tan 2:24; second dam Fleetwing (dam of Stamboul 2:12}) by Hambletonian 10; third dam Patchen Maid by George M. Patchen 2:23.1. This little lord, accompanied by hismotktr, are in a paddock by themselves, and he wants to make friends with all who will come near him: already he shows himself to be a "sure enough" trotter, and all of the party present expressed themselves in favor of Mr. Corbitt's keeping this royally bred young horse, as it would be a shame for a stal- lion bred as he is to go out of the State. It may not be out of place to state here that Mr. Corbitt was offered 515,000 for this Buckling when only two days old and refused it, as he did not feel justified in selling off any of the best of his stock until the entire lot are offered for sale. A Carload of Horses for Marcus Daly. During the spring and early summer B. C. Holly of Vallejo has been picking up choice fillies and brood mares for Mar- cus Daly whenever opportunity offered. From time to time we have had occasion to call the attention of our readers to the well-bred hor66B purchased by Mr. Holly, and on Wed- nesday last he Bhipped to the Bitter Root Ranch of Mr. Daly a carload of horses, consisting of the following; Manon 2;21 by Nutwood, dam Addie by Hasbrook's Hambletonian Chief; also her three foals, the first being a ch. f. two years old by Guy Wilkes; the second, a yearling black colt called Milroy, by Guy Wilkes, and a suckling horse colt by the same sire. Manon has been stinted to Guy Wilkes* Stamina, b. m. by Stamboul, dam Nettie Ward by Echo, 2nd dam by Rifleman.

Manager Baldwin, of the Fresno and Coronado tracks, passed through this city last week. The E=condido Fair begins September 30th. Sanla Ana and San Bernardino both hold their initial fair this year. What's the matter with a Southern California cir- cuit? Th9 new secretary is booming the opening day in all the Southern California papers, and every town within a hundred miles of Los Angeles is being billed with handsome litho- graphs. The handicap for the Nadeau Hotel Handicap and Southern California Handicap, will be announced on Tuesday. There are seventeen entered in the latter event. Charley Durfee'a handsome three year-old oolt McKinney by Alcyone, is showing up grandly in his work. He is a handsome colt, and will make a low mark for himself in the near future.

C. * The Jaok Hawkins you allude to is the one found iu Vol. 2 of the Stud book, page 72. He was owned by Ross Sar- gent of Stockton and he stood there for years. We do not know anything about George Moore, except that there was a horse of that name in California many years ago. H. G. A. L. What races has Sir Ladd won on the flat, and what is his pedigree? Answer. — It would be difficult to answer your first ques- tion as he has been "jobbed" all over the Northwest. He was bred by John E. Ladd, of La Grande, Or, and his pedigree is given as by Bichard III, he by Criohton.'a son of imp Glen- coe. The dam of Sir Ladd has been stated as Queen bv Os- ceola, a son of Norfolk. It would be hard to verify the above as Mr. Ladd is now dead. The horse was at one time owned by J. B. Boss, the owner of Kitty Van, Oro and others, and it is barely possible that Mr. Ross may know Bomething of his pedigree . C. H. B. Oan yon give me the pedigree of a mare oalled Trixey raised on the Pritchard Ranch in California? She fa 6aid to be foaled January 7, 1884, by Old Bazor, out of Avail. Will you kindly look this up? I bought the mare and her pedi- gree is good if true. Give me all the sires and dams so far as you can find out, and oblige. Answer. — The mare out of Avail, foaled in 1SS4, was Laura Gardner by Jim Brown. The only mare Trixey we know of wa; the one foaled in 1885 by Joe Hooker, dam Abbie W. and which is now owned by Col. Harry I. Thornton of the Rancho Resaca. Our Los Anseles Letter. The prospects for a brilliant meeting were never brighter in the history of the Sixth District Agricultural Association. Horses are coming in daily from all poinls, and the track now presents a busy scene every morning. The Northern trotting horse men did not patronize the meeting to any ex- tent, but there were enough good horses in the district to till all but two events on the pro ramme, and one of thoBe had four iu. The owners of bangtails came to the rescue in gallant style, however, and as a consequence the best run- ning races on the circuit will come off at the Los Angeles meeting The Los Angeles public are partial to running raceB, eo a large attendance can confidently be anticipated at the opening meeting of the grand circuit of 1890. Dave Sheehan, well known to all horsemen on the coast, is training the Bickabaugh & Hirold string at Santa Anita. The running qualities of Gladiator, Santa Ana, Sau Rafael, Clara I., and several others, have been leased by "Lucky" Baldwin to Messrs. Bickabaugh & Harold. The string will in all probability make the California circuit, if they show up fairly good in their work during the latter part of the month. It is reported here that Albert Cooper will train for L. J. Rose next season. Whether there is aoything in the Btory I am not prepared to say, but it is common talk among the men at the race track. Dave Bridges, who went East with the string, is now looated at the old stand. He has leased the running qualities of Peri, who ib well entered at the coming meeting. Thomas Quinn. Will you please give pedigree of Fire Tail, sired by Norfolk- also pedigree of Murphy'8 Patchen? Answer— Firetail by Norfolk, dam Fanny Howard by Illi- nois Medoc; 2d dam Fauoy Howard by imp.

July 19 Grim's Gossip. Second payments are due for the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake on August 1st. Well, the fan opens on the "big" circuit at Detroit nest week, and we may expect to find trotting news as well ts the doings of the runners in the dailies of nest week. We have received No. 6 of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide which gives a full record of all running races up to, and in- cluding July 2nd. It is as full of interesting matter as us- ual. W. C. France, the well known breeder of Lexington, Ky., has taken into partnership his son Albert and Dr. W. F. Smith. Hereafter the firm will be known as W. C. France & San. The Parkville Farm started Gold Leaf at Philadelphia last week, but the best her driver oonld do was to bring her in second in the third heat, the lime of which was 2:23|. Her new driver evidently lacks ginger. Last week, an item in "Turf and Track", stated that Elec- tioneer had four new performers in the 2:30 class and at least half a dozen persons have written asking for the names of the four. They are as follows Snisun 2:22}, Aleck B 2:29£ May King 2:29 and Fay 2:29f. In a note from the Secretary of the lone meeting I learn that the entry list is large and good sport assured. The As- sociation have secured special rates for excursionists, and re- turn tickets will be sold at one and a third fare. Special excursion trains will also be ran. There is a rumor prevalent that one of the principal breed- ers of trotting horses will go out of the business between this and the first of the year. The gentleman has some splendid stock, and if he should decide to sell off all that he has, there will no doubt be keen competition at the sale. It will be noticed in an advertisement in another column that any one desirous of purchasing a first cIbbs young gelding, who has no record, can do so by applying at this office. Three heats in 2:25 will be shown a prospective pai chaser, which should make him a valuable animal for any of the green classes. On Sunday last there appeared at Morshead stable the trot- ting horse Ira 2;24J which had just been brought down from Humboldt County to take part in the fall races. If this horse is handled properly there is no question of doubt bat what he can make a very low mark for himself, it only needing a competent driver and plenty of work to place him well with- in the "teens." Faustino has been given some speedy work during the laet week, and Dickerson, the driver, feels confident that he will be able to lower the two-year-old stallion record of Regal Wilkes. Mr. Waters, the owner of Faustino, writes and says that he has refused $ 15,000 for the colt from a Chicago gen- tleman, as he considers him one of the most prominent horses in the country. One of the horses at the Petaluma race track that can show a very fast burst of speed for a distance is Harry Slocnm, owned by Slocum & Hastings. On Saturday laBt he waB given a little hard work, being driven to the three-quarters pole at a 2:20 gait, where he broke owing to a lack of work. It is extremely probable that before this season ends, Harry Slocum will be heard from and that he will make a low rec- ord for himself. Allerton 2 :18£ at three years old, who was supposed to be broken down, was given a mile Friday of last week over the Independence, Iowa, new kite-shaped track in 2:164-. The quarters were 3S, 106. 141 2;16f . If this fellow keeps right the California filly, Margaret S.. will have a race from wire to wire for the Horseman's stake at Detroit. It would be jnst William's luck to patch the colt up and take in the race says the Terra Haute ExpraBB. Last week notice was made on the gossip page that Mr. Saulsbury's Homestake had at last won a race and made a record of 2:28 l. We now learn that on Saturday, the last day of the July meeting Homestake was again started; this time in the 2:30 class, his competitors being Vera by Ken- tucky Volunteer, and John F. Vera had no difficulty in winning in straight heals, HomeBtake getting second money. The time being 2:271, 2:30 and 2:25. It would seem from the Philadelphia newspapers to hand that considerable dissatisfaction was expressed on the man- ner in which Jas. Goldsmith drove Simmocolon in the eight beat race at Point Breeze Park. The public seemed to have an idea that the California stallion should win in three straight heats, but from the manner in which the summary reads it would seem as though the pool box played a very important part in the race. Lee Shaner has Emma Temple in the very pink of condi- tion at the Petalnma track. ThiB daughter of Jackson Tem- ple proved to the race goers of California what she could dc last year, and stamped herself as a thoroughly game mare. In appearance she has much improved, and her speed is just a little better than it was last season. It will not sur- prise the knowing ones if Bhe beats 2:1S in the first race she goes into, if it is necessary to go that fast. Rumors from Palo Alto are not very encouraging with re- gard to Electricity, the largo Bon of Electioneer and Midnight. Early in the seassn it was supposed that he would be able to faca the wire this season, but if curreDt rumors ara to be believed, he will not be seen on a California track this year. He has a bad habit of interfering, and notwitbBtanding.almost everything has been done possible to overcome the difficulty, he does not seem to improve at all. Wm. F. Eagan, member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Englaud, has established himself as one of tne best 'VetB" in California, and as a result has built up a first cUbs practice. He was formerly located at the corner of Jaokson and Buchanan streets, but owing to an increase of business be has had to secure more commodious qnarters, and to that end has located at 1117 Golden Gate avenue. In the advertisement will be found the telephone number and _j1bo the branch offices. I had the pleasure of reading a letter which was 6ent by Major Campbell of Tennessee to Mr. Valensin a few days ago, in which the writer says that he has an extremely fast pacing colt by Sidney, dam Juno by Buccaneer, 2nd dam Ve- nus, the dam of Adonis 2:14. The Major says that "Mer- cury," as he calls the youngster, has Bhown alrt-ady several very fast quarters and halves, and he proposes to take him out on the big circuit later in the season. John Mackey, of the RaDeho Del Paso, arrived in Queens- town, Ireland on Wednesday last, he being on a viBit to the "ould sod". There are some horsemen who claim that John has no desire to see the sights of Erin, but that his main object is to secure a number of first class brood mares for the Haggin breeding establishment, and that he also has his eye on a celebrated English stallion which is known to be for sale. We trust that Bea sickness had no terrors for the genial John. Mr. J. O'Kane, the well known manufacturer of Trotting Horse Boots, shipped on Saturday last to Paris, France, $500 worth of his latest and most improved accoutrements for horse leg wear. This order in itself goes to show how firmly the trotting horse interests are becoming imbedded in France, and it is also a great compliment paid to Mr. O'Kane that those who use th^ articles fihonld send such a lou£, dis- tance for them. Truly California cannot only provide first- class horses, but everything that is necessary for their use. As is probably well known by this time, Rey Del Rey proved a great disappointment to his backers. When he started on Thursday Jast, it would seem from the reports that he got off first rate and led into the home stretch but from there was beaten out, he not getting better than third. As this is his first race of the year and it is generally considered that the stable has been pretty badly messed about, we mast confess that the result is not a surprise and we look for many brackets to his credit before the season closes. Ex-Senator Ben Langford has at the Lodi track three very promisingyoungsters who are showing up well in their work. The first is called The Dude, he being by Dexter Piince, dam by Mt. Vernon. The second is a filly by Hawthorne, dam Bessie Sedgwick by Joe Daniels. The third is a two year old colt by Dexter Prince, dam Lady Bayswater by Bays- water. These young animals are all entered in the local Dis- trick Stake* at Stockton, and there is every reason to believe that they will make good records for themselves. Last year Mr. A. T. Hatch was very much disappointed because his horse Lenmar was rot in condition to trot, al- though in the early part of the season he had shown up very well; however, he was given a good long rest, aud this year was put in the hands ot Tom Murphy at Petaluma. From those who have seen the horse work, great Btories are told about his speed, a gentleman on Tuesday last assuring me that Lenmar could put three heats inside of 2:22; if this story is correct, Lenmar will prove a dangerous competitor in the various classes in which he is entered. Quite a number of horsemen have noticed the fact that Mr. Wilfred Page, one of California's most enthasiastic breeders has failed to pay up in the stakes for which he had entries. A letter from Mr. Page informs me that he wrote to the Sacret&ry of the Breeders Association and en- closed a check for the amount necessary but owing to an oversight, failed to post his letter and did not discover the mistake until almost a week had elapsed. It is a pity that this oversight has occurred for Mr. Page has several very promising colts that are worthy to be seen in any company. There are quite a number of two-year-olds of which rumor speaks very highly, and it is expected that either at San Jose or Napa several sensations will be furnished by the horses of that age. I learn that one day last week Elleneer was trotted a full mile at Palo Alto in 2:24, which looks as though the Palo Alto farm had another speedy one to follow in the steps of the great Sunol. However, even that speed will not deter many owners from bringing out those at present in training, and there is reason to believe that two or three others, even this early in the season, can show equal speed. By a telegram in the Examiner of Friday morning I learn that Matt Allen has received his walking papers fiom the Hearst Stable. The news can hardly be believed, for it sounds too good to be true. The same telegram also sayi that Albert Cooper will handle the horses in future. If such be the case the public will find the "orange and green" a decided favorite in the betting, and that before many days. The Senator is now on the road to Buccess and if winning mounts can be bad from the stable, rest assured Albert will send them to the front. Some time ago I made mention of a mile which Guide 2:28 l, had made on a half-mile traok near Pleasanton. He accom- plished the distance so readily in 2:31 1 that every assurance was felt that before the rains of winter come on that he would show a very much higher rate of speed. From two or three horsemen information is brought that duiiDg the last week this son of Director was speeded for a short dis- tance at a 2:15 gait, and as there is plenty of opportunity be- tween now and the opening of the circuit, undoubtedly he will make bis first appearance ready to uphold the colors of the Director family. A telegram from Saginaw, Mich., states that Cricket won the 2 30 pacing race there in three straight heats; the time being 2:19J, 2:21? and 2:21. LetterB received from the East al60 give a very peculiar coloring to the race in which Mar- garet S. was beaten- From one of the letters leoeived, I quote the following: "We won the race in three straight beats but evidently the money in the pool box was in the other way, and the judges took the third heat away from us. After this we did'nt try to win bat just saved our distance in each heat. We could not beat the combination in the judges' .-land. As is only natural all Catifornians have felt supreme de- light in thinking that Salvator, a California owned horse re- duced the mile and a quarter record to 2:05, but our joy has been of short duration, as on Thursday last at Monmouth Park, Tournament and Banquet, the latter owned by W. L. Scott, finished the same distance under a driving finish in the almost incredible time of 2;03f . It is true that while the time made is surprising, still due allowance mnstbe made for the fact that Salvator a record was made on an oval track while the new record of Banquet was made on a Blraighl away course, he beating Tournament by a head only. It is always a pleasure to have to announce anything favor- able from the breeding farms of California, and it is also dis- tasteful to have to give bad news. Under the latter category we have to announce this week that Mr. B. C. Holly, of Val- leji, has lost by death the ch f Razelwood by Wood nut, dam Economy by Echo. Mr. Holly thought so favorably of this little miss, that on the first of the month he entered her in the Sonoma and Marin Faturity Stake, but on the morning of the Fourth she was taken with spasmodio colic, and did not survive the day. Sbe was an exceedingly well formed filly, and Mr. Holly had great expectations of her. Quite a number of gentlemen have called my attention to the fact that the current number of Wallace's Monthly makes no mention of the fact that John Nelpon died in a much later year than was given in the Year Book. Mr. Wallace is usually very methodical in what he does, and although several weeks have now elapsed since the Breeder and Sportsman furn- ished the proofs of when the old horse really did die, still it is to be expected that the publisher of the Year Book will Fend to the parties, whose names we gave, securing confirma- tion of the report. It is probable that in the next number of the Monthly there will be found a correction. The Terre Haute Express aayB: "It is reported that Hickok has purchased the entry Marvin had for the dead Arol in the Detroit 310,000 2:24 class stake, and will start the green horse Prince Warwick. If this proves to be the case, truly a new wairior is in the field fully equipped to do battle, and one who will not disgrace the name he bears, that of the "King Maker," who never recognized defeat. Those of the boys who have already picked the winner mnst deal over and count this fellow in for the horse that peddles fish in the fourth quarter is very liable to see the 'Talleyrand of the turf" brush this youngster by them, and oh! how he can brush. Hickok has set on the tail of many a fast trotter, but it is roubted if any of them has carried him the clip this inbred Almont haB." C. H. Corey of San Jose, owner of Almont Patchen 2:15, has been in town two days this week interviewing horsemen in reference to the approaching Fair at San Jose. It would seem that some one has circulated a report that the track there is not in the best of condition, but Mr. Corey states that the report has been maliciously started, and that the track was never in better condition than it is at present. He says the horses now located there are in splendid fix and al- most ready for the work of the circuit. On the first of the month John A. Goldsmith will remove his string from the San Mateo Stock Farm to the San Jose track, and on the same date B. C Holly of Vallejo will also go there, he hav- ing secured a number of stalls. The intention of the man- agement is to make the meeting of 1890 the most successful that has ever been held at that point, and if hard work will consummate their desires, the Directors will leave no stone unturned towards making the meeting a grand success. A great deal of talk has been indulged in by the newspa- pers in regard to a match race between Sunol and Belle HamliD, many of the writers seeming to fancy that the match is as good as made. But they do not know Mr. Hamlin if they think that he will accede to tne terms of Hickok. Why, bless my soul,, the Californian is known as the Tallyrand of the Tnrf, and the Buffalo gentleman has a mare that likes one mile better than two and cannot go three, so a man up a tree can see what the result will be, especially as Hickok wants the gate receipts to go to the winner. Mr. Hamlin in all probability will come back with a connter challenge, saying that the match must be two in three, and that the gate receipts must go to the Association over whose track the race takes place and then will refuse to have it at any other place than at Buffalo as he is the principal owner. The "gate" from snch a match would be enormous, and if Belle Hemlin lost the investment would be a good one to her own- er ia a financial sense, if it takes place over his track, and put a pin in jast here, it will not take place over any other. Hamlio*6 game is free advertising, and I will not charge him anything for this. It is always a pleasure to meet Frank Baldwin, the Secre- tary of the Fresno Association. Of the indefatigable kind, he is constantly striving to increase the interests of the trotting horse, and towards that end works with a will that is worthy of emulation by many of the Secretaries. In con- versation a few days ago, Frank informed me that there is every prospect that a strong circuit will be formed com- mencing with Fresno and continuing to Lob Angeles, San Bernardino, Santa Ana and San Diego. Mr. Baldwin man- aged the 4th of July races at Coronado Beach and notwith- standing the many counter attractions there were over 3,000 persons who paid admission at the gate, showing the strong interest taken in horse racing in the southern section of the State. Mr. Baldwin think* it would be a good idea for the Los Angeles Association to try and have the Breeders' meeting of this year held at Los Angeles and to that end has inter- viewed many of the Directors, so it is extremely probable that the Association in the Angel City will make a bid for the meeting of 1800 to be held down there. Mr. Baldwin is at present on his way East where he will take in the meet- ings at Detroit and Buffalo, returning in time to meet the horsemen of California at the San Jose meeting. Speaking of the Jack and Palo Alto matsh tho Terre Haute Express soys: There are several reasons why Jack has the worst of the match from an outside point of view. We can recall no borse that is as hard to condition snd keep to speed as he is. It is only by his consumate skill that Doble ia enabled to keep him balanced and gaited. He requires shoe- ing every two weeks and is never shod twice alike. He is gross and should have plenty of work. His feet being bad nothing can be done in the way of roadirg him and mnch track work gets him sour. He has so far this year not moved as it would be liked, and it is doubtful if he will be a race horse until late in the fall. On the other hand, Palo Alto to start with has 2} seconds the best record; is just right and ready for the effort of his life. His ailing leg bas so far not troubled him in the least, and while some good judges think it will not last out a hard campaign it has not stood in the way of bis keying up. If when they come together Jack is the Jack of last fall at Lexington and can brush and ball- dog the stallion, it will be an even thing, but if he is the lea- 1 bit nnder bis Lexington torm the Californian will never be beaded. However tbe result, it will be a race for h11 there is in it; integrity is tbe load star by whu-h Doble has always steered his course. No flying in h»8. 1890 %ht ^xu&tx and J^rtsman. 39 Peculiarities of Drivers. James Goldsmith's success ia the salty this year and last, and the skill he displays in balancing and conditioning his horses, as well as driving desperate finishes, recalls many of the characteristics of prominent reinsmen when np in a race. When Goldsmith sets himself for a desperate finish the erect figure seen in the hotel corridors during race week ia bent for- ward, while the head wearing the cherry and black cap is al- most in a line with the horse's withers. With a steady hand, light yet firm, or, as an English writer puts it, "a hand of steej wjth a lady's touch," a cool head and an inexhaustable supply of patience, James Goldsmith is doubly fortified at almost any stage of the- game. His success with Company at Pcughkeepsie is one of the many instances where patience, a light hand and a strong arm palled off a race, bat the de- feat at Hartford later on, when in the seventh heat he began acting as badly as Guy ever did, and after an hoar's scoring Captain beat him as he pleased, showed Goldsmith's qualities to even greater advantage. John Turner can be quoted almost as an anthesis to the present owner of Walnut Grove where Volunteer, Domestic and Libby S. are buried. Like Goldsmith, however, he holds his own council when necessary, never loses his head and can map out a campaign with any man in the business. Baving risen from the ranks Turner is a master of every de- tail in bis stable, and favors kindness to punishment and absolute cruelty. When asked a few years ago why he did not hit Edwin Thome a cut with the whip at the finish of the first heat in the special at Buffalo nine years ago, and which Clingstone won by a head in 2;14£, he said he was not ready to defeat the Rysdyk gelding and that Thorne was doing his utmost and he would not discourage him with a stoke of the whip. Turner never carries a heavy whip when driving a race, a scraper being seen in his hand as often as a ligbt whalebone that would not at the best sting a horse, although it would remind him that a little more speed was wanted. He teaches them to do their best at a word of command or a light tap, and will not keep a horse in his string that will not perform under such treatment. It frequently takes some time, but when a first class article is found no one can wait longer for it to materialize than the Ambler Park sage. In all probabil- ify Spofford is one of the best Illustrations of the fact. Turner got him after he bad trotted a few races and kept him on the move for a couple of seasons before he found that he had the black gelding at the desirable point for him to land the cov- eted prize of the season. Prior to this time, however, the Kentucky Prince gelding had always paid expenses and no one interested in him spent much time on the anxious seat. When Turner found he had him coming to an edge, how- ever, he dropped into the sick lisfc, and Doble was asked to drive the horse a race or two. At Rochester Spofford stepped a quarter close to 32 seconds and the uncovering process al- most frightened the General to death. As the Charter Oak Slake was the desired goal Spofford was shipped to Hartford, wbtre he was carefully worked, guarded night and day aganst intruders that might have an object in getting at him, and stripped on the day cf the race in condition to trot for his life. That day was a memorable one in Turner's history. Never was the green cap and jacket donned with as much determination and never, since the days May Queen and Net- tie were in their glory did the man that developed Edwin Thorne, Daisy Dale and Hannis appear to such advantage as . each heat of Spofford's Charter Oak Stake was won in the stretch. Doble is a man that makes very little display in the sulky, as on wheels he is^as unassuming as on the ground, but al- ways fortified with that experience which comes with re- peated successes and is based on actnal merit. Practically beginning with Dexter and following np his triumphs with Goldsmith Maid and now openiog 1890 with Jack and Ax- tell in his training school. Doble stands as the actual helm of trotting affairs. The check cap and jacket has been seen behind many another good one besides the remarkable horses mantioned, and many a resident of large cities as well as the agricultural visitor, has asked; "Which is Doble in that race?" and when told, replies with an incredulous look. "Man alive! He is older than that! What! that Budd Doble? That is a little too new! Why, I can remember hear- ing of him as a boy thirty year3 ago. Of course it is a true Btate of affairs, but the average follower of the trotters does not know that Doble began at the top when still a boy and has remained there for almost a quarter of a century. Last year Doble carried a light whip of the regulation length with a boDe handle bearing his name, and he can use it as freely as any man in the business when he has a tired horse that shows a disposition to come back to him or play the rogue. Ashe paeBeB the seventh furlong mark and makes his play for the heat, if it is left to that point, he can be Been bendiognot so far forward as Goldsmith, but far from beiDg as erect as Turner, lifting his horse along and by some unknown power that is defined as personal magnetism, getting as much or more speed than any one else can. Like Goldsmith, Duble is a remarkable conditioner, and seldom gives a horse a hard race before he is keyed up to it. He is also like his contemporary, as apt to win his first race of the season as any other, while Turner and a few of the old guard, prefer to let the youngsters move out until they find what they will have to contend with later on. Just before Doble makes his hardest drive for a heat, he stoops forward a little further than the angle he drives at, takes a firm hold on his horse, looks to the right then to the left, tilts back again and sets sail. The motions do not occupy the time the horse is making two strides, and when be settles down for business something must come. 0Dlike Crit Davis, Doble seldom takes the outside of the track in the stretch but he can fre- quently be found there when the fields are large or when he has a faint-hearted horse. With a game horse in front of him, Doble will, as a rule, take as many chances aB anyone, but he can be depended on to never make the wild cat drives that years ago m.^de "Red Bill'* McLaughlin famous, and which terrified the less re3olute knights of the sulky. While a parallel could be drawn between the Goldsmith and Doble'a styles of reinsmanship, Solan presents a stndy that is peculiarly his owd. When compared with Turner's it is like the mountain torrent in comparison with thp placid bat irresistible river in the valley. Both have thtir powers and uses. The one to arouse latent powers, give courage to the faint-hearted, and the other bears good matter to the desired haven. With a yell that would grace the lips of a Sioax on the war path Splah takes hoid of bis horse to rally him. From. that moment, and until the wire is reached or heat won. he is a regular "Snapper" Garrison in the sulky. Every device known to man to arouse a horse and send him ahead comes into play ins'inctively, and man, horse and sulky appear to unite in one mass the only object of which s to get to the judges first. One of T. J. Dunbar's strong points is the skill he displays in handling a tired horse. While a good conditioner and a oapital race driver, he has of late years been handicapped through being nailed on to handle colts and stallions in service. It was with one of the latter he gave a remarkable exhibition over the half mile track at Summerville, N. J., two years ago. He had Humor, 2:20, in a race, and as the horse had only been out of the stud a few days he was not in shape to go more than a couple of miles. He was in against an old track warrior, and after Rumor had won a heat "Curly" SampBon's horse came to him. In what proved to be the deciding heat, Dunbar started out to worry the enemy. Shooting away at the word, Rumor led for the first three-quarters, but at that point the lack of condition began to tell. As Ramor was a handy horse, he kept hop- ping up and down, lapped on the outside of the winner un- til the wire was reached. At Philadelphia a few years ago Dunbar also pulled off a rice with Patti long after the Fashion Farm pennant had been pulled down from the mast head. When he has time, Dunbar, like Horace Brown wins his races in the stable through seeing that every little detail is attended to and that a horse's wants are anticipated. In this way the ltt up and retired list is reduced to a margin, and the loss account through break downs made a very small item. Speaking of Horace Brown recalls the fact that he is one of the few drivers that have been successful with dainty feeders. For a horse to trot fast and repeat he must be able to eat at all times and never refuse a feed. The trouble with those delicate pupils usually comes after a hard race or two. They do not eat well for a couple of days, and tbe necessary let-up sets them back for a time. Brown's skill was first displayed with Orient and Chestnut Hill, but his crowning success was with Captain Lewis, and later with Belle Hamlin. The latter trotted a race a week in her class for him from Cleveland to Utica, rattling off her miles in close order when everyone said that she could not step three heats in 2:20, and closed the year with a record of 2:13J after her name. Brown has at the present writing three select performers in Andante, Quartermaster and Albion. He sits down firmly in the Bulky at an angle of forty-five degrees; always has his horse well in hand, and sees what his neighbors are doing. At no time a reckless driver, Horace, as the years pass by, has become cautious, and Turner-like, studies hiB horseB so closely that he knows he can hold a position when taken. While he will never try to pnt a sulky through where a horse can find space enough to trot, he rushes in at the finish ready to lock wheels or roll over an anxle if necessary to win a heat. "Happy Jack" Phillips is a master-mechanic on wheels, and one that has a conscience easy enough to place a horse where he thinks proper at the finish. With an object ahead he will be as happy in fourth place as under the judge3' eyes, providing that said judges are not in a communicative mood, and demand a little more fast work and less mnscnlar gym- nastics. The dreaded record bee still buzzes in Jack's head, and when he doubles up for a rally, there is more sawdust argument than pepper-sauce on the market. With a horse that he is not afraid of handicapping with a record, Phillips can give most any man in the business points and a beating, bnt he will never rip a colt up the back even at the risk of being taken op and a driver not belongirg to the royal order of "help me and I'll help yon" being put up. With all bis peculiarities and light-beartedness, Phillips is one of the most popular men in the business, and can be considered a won- der, as he has been on tbe turf fully twenty years, and never wrote or tried to write a book. Nor will it be necessary for him to do so, as the last manager of Suffolk Park has left a train of records behind him that will illumine his trail when he finally retires to mine host's chair at Pete Ravenhall's place on the Coney Island boulevard. Speaking of books biings up tbe memory of a conversation witn an expert reinsmau who now has under advisement a chapter that would be interesting. The text reads: "Horses I Have Failed and the Results." After pouring over it for weeks he found it too bulky for publication and the result so disastrous that should it be given to tbe public all the youngsters in the business would be abroad looking for a re- cipe to make their arms or reins elastic when the tempter creeps into their terrestrial Eden. Still there is not as much pulling done as many imagine, for to some every trotting race is a deception and a snare, born in deceit and developed under the cloud of duplicity. Sach di-eased minds, how- ever, find a place in every commuuity and through a stand- ing on some particular subject get an opportunity of pouring their hobgoblin lava of corroption upon the public platter. The race field, however, should he like a court of justice, in which men are regarded innocent, although under restraint, until proven guilty. The temptations are numerous, but seldom forced on any oDe unless a hint is thrown out that business can be transacted. It was a rare thing for a man to approach the late John Murphy, as they knew his brand and what would be- the resalt. Yes, Honest John, you were trae to the core. Honor was the gaidioe star of your career. Never did deception's finger place a mark upon your brow, or dishonor come like Mother Carey's chickens home at nightfall to roost. The laBt mas3 has been said to your memory, but the rites of the church is not the last one over yonr name, as it will live and linger long in the hearts of all that knew you, respected yoa, and followed yon throngh your cireer on the turt from a boy in "Old Peg's" stable to the most popular of metropolitan reinsman. At sunset, when your associates gather in the hotels during race week, they will tell how Murphy hroke up a combination or was put op to check one. Of coarse, there were times when you did not succeed, the last possibly being at Poughkeepsio in 1S33 when Thornless defeated White Stockings. The scheme was one of the boldest ever planned since the Edwin Forrest steal at Utica. Like it, it went through and with less kicking, but not until a few of the sharks that manipu- lated the deal had a few cold chills run up their back. Wben it was seen that Stewart was not in condition to drive the Kansas City horse Murphy turned White Stockings over to Stewart's men after the heat, asking them to cool him out. In the meantime the betting had chopped about at such a clip that tbe scheme was uncovered. The betting was sim ply ridiculous, as it was necessary to get tbe Thornless money out at any price. As a last resort some one reached Stewart's rubbers and had White Stockings hitched so close to the sulky that he would hit his hooks on the back stretch. Murphy jumped iD, took the word on the up grade, which made the first quarter of the Hudson River Driving Park alow until it was cut down last year, and trotted away from Thornless. In the second quarter, where tbe track dropped considerably, White Stockings hit his hocks, broke and caught. Murphy took him back, but as he did the horse struck the sulky again, broke and lost the race, Thornless jogging home. The deal was suoceBsfal but no one but the poolBellers made any money, as all of the heavy commission men shifted as soon as the judges saw what was going on.— American Sportsman. A Match Race Between Two-Year Olds for $500. A very Interested and enthasiastic crowd witnessed the quarter mile dash between J. W. Cooper's bay colt Solanu and H. Ferguson's grey filly Lathrop Bell this afternoon at the Agricultural race track. Tbe match grew out of a rivalry between tbe Jockies of both two year olds Mr. Cooper, although the owner of the handsome bay colt Solano, knew nothing of the match until it had been made, and aB he never wagers a cent on a hjrse race, the result of the match was of no pecuniary interest to him, but he takes much interest in his colt as he has him in training to compete for purses alone. At 10 a. m. the colt and filly were given to the starter, R. J. Broaghton, Sberiff of Santa Barbara. The judges were Mr. Lelavel, H, B. Braston and A. B, Williams. Solano had the pole. "Tbe grey filly was ridden by an eighteen year old boy Steve Rofferer, who promises to be a good Jockey and who will be in demand as he will always be able to ride light-weight. He has a good head on him and UBes much judgment while riding hiB horse. Solano had on his back a young boy of fourteen summers. After the colts scored a conple of times, they came up the home stretch at a lively clip, both whipping their moun ts oven after they had crossed the wire. Solano led the grey h'lly by two lengths. As the flig was not hwered the judges took no time, but the quarter was run in 24 seconds. The riders were surprised when the jadges commanded them to return to the starting point and get off as soon as possible. They believed that it had beeo a go. Again the horses face the starter and again the starter adminishes them that when he wants them to go that the flag will fall. The young boy on Solano completely lost his wits. Again the horseB are turned for the wire and again the boys think it is a race and they go up the stretch whip- ping and sparring till within one hundred feet of the wire, when Solano's rider realizes that it is no "go." This was th9 second heat they had run and still no race had been de- cided. It was bard on Solano, for he has been at work only three weeks and had never been run over a single quarter. At 11:45 the word was actually given and the colts came at a lively pace. Solano led and ran easily.but when he got within one hun- dred feet of tbe wire he stopped running, thinking he must stop there -as he was pulled ap the ran before. His rider was so excited tbat he forgot his whip and epurs,and the grey filly, that was well ridden and under severe punishment found the colt, and she won with scarcely half a length in :24f. If we did not have such implicit confidence in Solano's rider we should surely suspect him of purposely letting up on his mount, but we know him so well and feel that he was excited, and that he thought that it was a third false start $250 is a great sum of money to lose, and lose through a mistake made by the rider. Although Solano lost the race, our fdith in his speed and ranning qualities have not dimin- ished. In fact, he proved that although he had had no work, still he ran a three heat race.and could have won then if prop- erly ridden . We are certain that this race will be a lesson to the amateur jockey, and that he will never again quit riding a horse until h« gets him safely past the wire. At least three hundred people gathered on the track to wit- ness tbe race, although the match had been maie but the day before. Solano's admirers were, elthough beaten, satis- fied with the colt, and that the colt conld have won the race if he had been asked to by the little whip the rider carried, which we supposed was given to him to be used when he needed it. Sulano's trainer was toe certain of the race. Ho knew that bis colt could run tbe quarter in 23J seconds. The grpy filly ran with no shoes, wbile Solano was run with bis training shoes. There is an old Spanish proverb that Sola- no's trainer should consult when he makes another match race: "Mas ama^ado, mas seguro." The colts will meet again in the full races, when they will be called upon to run half a mile, and if Solano is as good a colt then as he was to-day he will outrun the grev filly. The grey tilly is a sta- ble companion of George Sherman's Midnight, both of which are entered in the Lob Angeles races. Midnight has shown great speed in his trials. He worked out a half a mile in :50} and five-eighths in 1:04. Lathrop Bell is by Bryant W. by Motday. She is a pic- ture of a "thoroughbred colt and she will make a race mare. She will run a mile or mile and a quarter and finish strong. Commodore Nutwood was brought from Lompoc and placed under the able management of Mr. Henry Delaney.

Bulletin No. 2, Vol. 2,of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment station, is devoted exclusively to "Colic in Horses," by Dr. H. J. Detmers. In this bulletin it is claimed that nearly every aged horse has an aneurism, or pulsating tumor in an artery, that ia produced by a small worm; that in a majority of cases tbe existence of such an aneurism must te considered, as a principal ciose, if not the sole caase of colic. Daring the year every one of sixteen horses killed for anatomical purposes at tbe Veterinary College, including young horses, had such an aneurism. The doctor believed that colic ia horses is often the subject of the grossest kind of quaktry. Colics are divided into three classes: I. True colics. 2. Spurious colics. 3. Symptomatic oolics. Tbe first may also be subdivided into colics prodooed by natural causes, and those not produced by nataral causes, of whiob the for- mer may be caused by overfeeding, the development of gases, or obstructions. So it may be seen tbat what is frf queotly oalled.colio is not a definite disease, but may be produced by a variety of morbid procesees due to various ciusea which may all have one thing in common, violent pains in the stomach or intestines. With this view of the case it is clear, tbat if possible, before applying remedies, the real cause of the trouble should become known, or else the efforts to re- lieve may become a cause of unnecessary pain and of great danger to the animal. Princess Alice from whom so much was expected last year, owing to the good time she had shown on theStookton track, is again bard at work and word is brought to me tbat daring the early portion of the week she compassed two easy miles in 2:22 aud repealed in 2:21, tbe middle half of the last mil. being negotiated in 1:06. This daughter of Dexter Pri^ undoubtedly far above the average and it is to be hope 1 I she will make an appearance this year ready to con;- the giants of the pacing brigade against whom she will I; to go. 40 %ht f^tztftsx and gprnhmuu. July 19 Simmocolon's Great Race- A short paragraph appeared in the Breeder and Sports- man last week, statiDg that a telegram had been received from Jas. Goldsmith announcing that Simmocolon had won an eight beat race, his fastest time being 2:20£. By mail we havo received the particulars, which show that Simmocolon and Royal were eqnal favorites in the pools, the balance of the field not being thought much of. In all there were thir- teen starters, and only four heats were trotted the first day, a postponement being necessary owing to darkness comirjg on. On the second day the pool selling showed that Camille was the decided favorite, bnt the hot work of the day before was too much for her and the balance of the fight lay between Koyal and Simmocolon. Mr. Valensin's horse by this great performance has stamped himself as one of the very best in the country, for while he has uot a record as low as many others, still he shows himself to be a dead game horse and fit to go in with the best of them. Simmocolon has many engagements throughout the EaBt, and it is to be hoped that he will be as fmccessful in the fu- ture as he has been in the past. The following is the sum- mary of the race at Point Breeze Park: 2:21 Class. -Parse SC00 Simmocolon. by Simmons (Goldsmith) 13481521 Royal, (Nicholson) 13 4193612 Camille, (Trout) 31319364 IsBaquena, (Driecoll 2 8 9 7 6 1 4 3 Abbie V, (Turner) 6723243 or Mamie Woods, (Snow) 8 10 10 2 6 2 5 dr Problem, (Quintint lu 2 7 6 4 dr Grand R, (Commings) 4 5 12 4 7 dr Kinsman, (Predmore) 6 13 6 6 8 dr EllaB, (tireen) 11 G 8 dr Tbalia, (SquireB) 9 II 5 dr Rumor, (Dunbar) 7 9 11 dr Hardv W, (Phillips) 12 12 dr Time. 2:i0i, 2:203, 2:203, 2:22, 2:20i, 2:233, 2;26. 2:24$.

Good Contests But a Poor Audience- The field-day of the Olympic Clabwhioh was held at the new grounds on the Fourth of July succeeded athletically speak- ing, but financially it was a failure. There were too many cheap counter attractions, and the club would have done better had it postponed the meeting until the following day. Scarcely a quarter of a hundred people paid admission at the gate, and the club will be oat of pocket by the ventare. The day was find, bat the usual gall blew over the grounds and rendered good time impossible. P. D. Skillman of the New York Athletic Clnb started from Bcratch in the 2-mile run, but as he was tired and worn oni, from his recent journey across the continent, he was unable to ran np to his regular trained form. He made a very creditable showing however. Casady of the O C did great work and showed that he means to do some record breaking before long. SchirJ'er stein was not feeling in the bestjof condition and did not compete. Jarvis did not 6tart in the walk in order to give the club novices a show 'to win a medal. Harry C. Casidy of the Alpine Club ran the two miles in splendid form, and he will be heard from next year at the championship games. We would remind the Secretary of the Olympic Club that he forgot to send ub the usurl "complimenary," and we hope that he will not let us slip from his memory in future, Peter Mcln tyre worked hard on the track for several days previous to the Fourth of July, end it was in nice condition, even better than it was when the championship games were decided. The handicapping was very well done, the management ex- cellent, and the games started promptly on time. ^Appended are the results: The introductory event was the 440 yards run for the Ham- mersmith medal. C V Casady, A S Henderson and S V Winslow started. Henderson cut out the runniog and led for 300 yards, when CaBady, who was making a waiting race of it, rushed to the front and won cleverly in 0;51 4-5, which is a seoond faster than the time of any previous winner of the medal, and a very creditable performance for any ama- teur. Winslow took second place, Henderson having spun himself out in the effort to beat Casady. The first heat of the 100 yards open nandicap run was won by C A Jellinck in 10 l-5secs, P M Ward, second. The second heat was won by J Kortick [in 10 l-5secs, N L Wil- liams second. F G O'Kane who had only Bix yards start, was third. la the final heat the starters were Jellinck, 7 yards handicap; Kortick, 7 yards; Ward, 9 yards; Williams, 9iyds. Jellinck won a good race by a foot, Ward second. Time, 9 4-5secs. For the 1000 yards handicap run the entries were A S Henderson, scratch; M L Espinosa, 30yds; W H Toomey, 55 yds; V G Linquist, 55yds. Espinosa made the pace till the second last lap, when Henderson came up with a rush, evi- dently thinking it was the last. The effort exhausted him, and Espinosa again went to the front and won handily io 2 min 30secs., Toomey a good Becond. F F Foster won the 220 yards open soratch hurdle race very neatly from S V Casady, who made the pace. Foster took the Bticks in tine style, and, collaring the leader at 220 yards, won by a yard in 29 4-5secs. S V" Winslow was the third competitor. N. I'. Williams, 3J feet handicap, won the running broad handicap jamp with 22ft lin. F F Foster, 3 feet handicap, was second with 20ft 9in, The 100-yard partnership race, in which the partners carry each other, was won by Ward and Kortick from Casady and Henderson, Much interest was taken in the two-mile open handicap, as P. D. Skillman, the New York Athletic Club crack long distance man was entered. The Olympic Club entries were H. M. Collins who had 205 yards, and A. Cook who had 230 yards. The Alpine Club was represented by H. C. Cassidy who had 155 yards. At the mile Cassidy passed Collins and Cook and won easily by 90 yards in 10 min. 10 sec. Skill- man's time was half mile 2 min. 23 sec, three-quarters, 3 min. 40 sec , mile 5 min. 6 sec, mile and a half 7 min. 45 sec, two miles 10 min. 19J sec. He ran in good style and finished at a spurt, but Cassidy was too fresh to have been given such a handicap, and in the first mile Skillman did not gaiD ten yards. S. V. Casady won the 300 yards handicap run by a yard from Jellineak, who led to the last ten yards. Time, 33 4 5 seconds. Ward also started. - In the one mile handicap walk W. H. Toomy. with 250 yards start, stopped at the half mile after C. F. Landner, the other competitor, had passed him. The meeting ended with an attempt by H. M. Johnson, the well known professional, fo beat the record for 100 yards. The wind blowing a gale down tbe track seemed to assure a wonderful performance, but two watches recorded 10 1 5 secondB, while a third Bhowed 9 4-5 seconds. Johnson complained that the start was bad and he was not in the best condition, having only just arrived from Carson, where he had beaten Gibson in a 125 yard race. The officers of the day were: E. A. Rix, Referee; W. Greer Harrison, John Elliott, T. H. Reynolds, J H. Gilhnly, Judges; J. A. Hammersmith, Walter A. Scott, Peter Mc- ln tyre, Timers; J. J.

Bernhardt, Marshal O'Connor's Rowing Discussed. In the Sydney Mail "Trident" criticises "William O'Con- nor's Btyle of rowing as follows: "From the verv great interest already taken in O'Connor and SUnsbnry, it'is very probable that the pablie will be deeply interested long before the day haB arrived for the race. It is a very general topic of conversation now, and promises to occupy a vast amount of attention later on. A great number of persons have made trips up the river on the Gosford to view tbe men at work, and last Sunday there were several well tilled steamers on the river. All eyeB are turned toward O'Connor first, for every one is anxiouB to see the man at work who has been plucky enough to come here for the championship. He is very much over weight, and looks bulky but healthy, His arms and legs are large, but it is too soon to say what kind of muscles he has, for at present they are soft and fleshy. The Canadian has been rowing a slow, eaBy stroke, and has not made any attempt at pace. He reaches out freely, aod drops the sculls into the water very cleanly. Not much power has been pat iato the work when I have seen him, and the scull leaves the water without disturbing it. The back work is nice and does not show the fault we were led to look fo.. Taken as a whole, the rowing is excellent form, and the" Hanlan jerk is not noticed O'Connor is no 'slouch' for style, and we may soon have an opportunity of seeing how he can apply his weight. I think he will be a very fast man, for he can row well, and has a splendid appearance for a rower when in action. O'Connor seems to fcnow jast what he re- quires in boats, fittings and training. Stansbury is still showing flesh, bat is far more advanced in his training than the Canadian. He has splendid limbs, and sits well'up in his boat, and his action is very good. Sporting he shines io, and his form is of the best. He gete a splendid hold of the water, and, swinging in the whole of his weight, his sculls do wonderful work. For grace and power we have a real good man, and that he can stay we know is certain. When Jim Stansboiy is fit and well he will be good enough to represent Australia. In a smart Bpin with an eight on Sunday he showed up well and was fully exiended. He stood the Btrain well, but was short of wind at trie finish and bo was the eight, which was a fast crew, and in a racing boat." AUCTIOKT SAT iFl.

JDANITO 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, be 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 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 a< 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, address JUANITO JR., Santa Clara P. O., Cal.

MEMO 1b, as can be seen at a glance, one of the best bred young stallions in service, having three crosses of Rysdyk's Hambletonian and one of Harry C'lav, 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's sire) is universally known as the best young sire in 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 race 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 strain of bis fore fet- lock, there is little question that he would have shown in public very close to the best record. On the uakland 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 four-year-oid Memo only s'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he Bhowed great Bpeed, and improving as he went on, great 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 tilled and he 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 is a sure foal getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season. TERMS, 3K0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th, when lie will be prepared for track purposes. 1'asturnge 85 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 in auy manner owners may desire, but positively no responsibility assumed for acci- lents or escapes.

As he is sired by The Moor 870, a son of OLAY PILOT, out of Vashti by MAMBRINO PATCHEN, he Is a most valuable cross for mares of other families, THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bells and the dama 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 son of his Blred ihe dam of Astell. The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed em phasls the value of The Moor and Mambrino Patchen Btrains of blood.

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 county road, which runB between Oakland and San Lean- dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed. Uuide hoards will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads are very good, and they are fairly good after the unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter. All stock sent from (*an Francisco may be brought over byQ^rcia's Express, No, 3 Market street, San Francisco. They also have unorder box outside of Hawley Bros.' Hardware house on the corner of Market and Beale streets. The express leaves San Francisco on the Creek route boat, which startB at 1:3 >, but all orders ehould he 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 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 cnarge 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 them, the farm will send 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 Btays a Bhort time the actual time and expense only is charged to him. Horses can he shipped hy rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify the Farm sev ral days before shipping anything, and then men will be on hand to receive sto^k on arrival. The 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 by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple or hours iu the car. P .ssenger tr. ins 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 the broad and narrow gauge railroads; the broad gauge, by way of ISiles, is much more convenient fjr get ing to the farm. There are trains each day from Sacramento, Stockton and Livermore to San Leandro. In ordi- nary we-'iiher it is a short and pleas in t drive from Oakland to the Souther Farm or from Sau Francisco to the Farm by way of the Creek route f*rry boat.

Tbe Californian Indian has not the same opportunities to ride or need of ponieB aB his wilder brother ea3t of the Rockies and in Arizona, but still he baa the same fondness for a horse, and takes as naturally to riding aB a duck does to swimming. In 1S75 there used to be quite a number of Indians around Yosemite Valley, and not a few of them had good ponies, which they were willing to race, and race for money too. There was one young buck called Joe, who owned a little black pony that nearly broke the white sports around Yosem- ite and won for its owner all the ready cash that the rest of the Indians had, 1 his was sometimes quite a large sum as the noble red man at that time made quite a good thing in tbe valley and outside. In the valley they fished and did •'chores," etc, selling the trout for good prices to tourist 3 who were not skillful enough to catch them themselves. Outside they used to herd cattle and sheep and also to shear for the large sheep pastures on the plains below. Joe's pony Bob was a wonderful little animal. It stood only about fourteen hands, but was as long as a ship and would go a quarter at a pace that was astonishing. Now there happened to be in Yosemite Valley at the time I am writing about a certain Bill Howard who had & lot of milk cows and horBes and who leased Laman's house, orchard and the Mirror Lake house. Howard was a good deal of a sport, and as he had ".a number of horses in the valley with him that could sprint a bit, he was soon accommodated with a race against some of tbe Indian ponies. He cleaned out most of them when Joe, hap- pening to hear there was sport going on, left a job at shearing near Merced, and came into the valley with his famous pony Bob, and a hundred dollars or so to back him with, Howard of course had heard of this famous black pony, but when he had Been him, was so deceived by his generally mean appear- ance, that he at once made a match for $25 a side with a httle mare of his called Kitty. The match was to be at a quarter of a mile, catch weights, and Howard put up bis son Willie, aged then about thirteen, who could ride aB well or better than most men, and did not weigh more than eighty pounds, being a thin long-legged lad. Howard had made a track, such as it was, nearly opposite to where he lived, and it was mutu- ally agreed that the race should be run there on the following Sunday. When the day arrived there was a grand muster of Indians from miles around, and all the white sports in the valley, besides rancheros from the plains. The Indiana to a man put their money up on Bob, and not a few whites followed their examples. When the ponies went to the post, the bet- ting was about even, with perhaps a shade of odds in favor of Howard's mare. Joe had his little brother, a lad of ten or so, to ride for him, and both he and young Howard rode bare- back, except that Howard had a sircingle on under which he tucked his knees. Three judges were chosen and a starter, and after three break-aways, tbe ponies got off to an even start. At three hundred yards Howard's mare led by more than two lengths, when the little black demon on Bob gave the pony a cut with his rawhide, and in a stride or two was neck and neck with Kitty, with Howard flogging away for dear life. But it was no good, for the little long, low, black nag slowly but surely gained on him, and at the finish won by a good length. The Indians were wild with joy, and Howard looked terribly crest-fallen as he paid his betB and led away his beaten animal. There is a stringent law against selling whisky to Indians in this valley, but to judge from the wild yells of the Indians that night, and their sorry appearance next day, it was prob- ably evaded. Now Bill Howard was not a man to sit quietly down after .defeat and accept the inevitable. He got chaffed unmerci- fully, and determined to get even with the redskins. He had owned a thoroughbred stud called Black Prince, and had some of his progeny out at grass on the plains. Among these was a little chestnut filly out of a blooded mare. It was only three years old, but was a model of a small race horse. It did not take him long to get the mare up in the valley, and he soon had her gentle to ride, and taught to run like a flash, and start in a decimal of a second. In two months he had her in fair trim, and gave her a private trial with the mare Kitty that had been beaten by Bob. The chestnut, which he called Bell, beat Kitty by six lengths, and bad twenty more pounds up. The trial was run just at daylight, and was only witnessed by three people, Howard, his son, and the rider of Bell, a lad who worked for Howard, and who was in too much dread of his master to be liable to divulge the secret. As soon as Howard got the line from Kitty he sent a trusted friend to get on a match with Bob, and so well did the go- between work matters, that a race was arranged for $50 a side under similar conditions as the former. Again the In- dians from far and near flooked into the valley to back their champion pony, and this time the whites, too, piled their money on Bob, who was considered invincible. Howard had men out a week before the race, taking all the bets they would put against Bell, and must have had at least $300 be. sides the stake money on the race. Two days before the match was to come off, Howard was horrified to find Bell cast in her stall when he went to look at her in the morn- ing. He got her up and found that she bad strained a muscle in one of her hind legs. . Here was a pretty go. The forfeit was $25, and all the bets were "play a pay." A consultation was held and it waB decided to take the mare out for a canter to see if the stiffness would not wear off. The idea was a good one, for after warming up a bit all traces of lame- ness were gone. The report, however, got out that How- ward's mare was dead lame, and odds of two to one were freely offered against her, and (apparently) reluctanly taken bv Howard's commissioners, who got on at least $200 at that remunerative price. There must have been at lease two hun* dred people at the race on the Sunday of the match, and a curious crowd it was. The Indians were out in great force with their squaws and papooses. The guides were there to a man, and the "bay_ seed brigade" from the ranohes on the plains was well repre. sented. The British touriBt with his check suit, field glaBB and umbrella was there, and low be it spoken, two Boston sohool teaeherB in bloomer costume happened that way — quite an accident, and attracted by tbe queer gathering, stayed to see the fun. When Bell appeared she had bandages on her near hind leg, and the knowing ones shook their heads and said, "I told you so, Howard's mare is dead lame, and its a gift for thelblaok pony.'' Bob looked fit aB a fiddle, and had evi- dently been well taken care of since his last race. His coat shone like satin, and his eye had more fire in it than is usually seen in that of an Indian's horse. Young Howard gave Bell a gallop down the track and then removed the bandage. She moved with that easy grace and "poetry of motion" peculiar to the thoroughbred, and those who knew a race horse from a mule tried in vain to hedge their money. It was Lombard street to a Chinese orange on the chestnut. At the first attempt the horses got off and like an arrow Bell shot to the front. In vain did the little Indian lash the sides of his pony with his stinging rawhide. In vain did the little sinner yell at the top of his voice. Bell took the bit between her teeth and young Howard had to sit still and keep her on the track as well as he could. She passed Ihe winning post ten lengths ahead of Bob and went half a mile before she could be pulled up. Howard smiled grimly as he whispered to his son ou his return, "Why in thunder didn't you make it a closer finish. The game is all up now," But when Willie told him what had happened he contented himself with his winnings which must have footed up some $500. There was no hilarity in the Indian ranchero that night, and poor Joe had to sell his pony to pay his debts. The British tourist was heard to observe at the hotel that night that "What's his name's mare was a blarsted good bit of horseflesh. Looked quite like a race horse, by Jove!" As Howard observed, the "game was up" and no more matches could be got on with the Indians. They had been hit so hard that dollars were very scarce articles with all of them for months to come and what few whites there were around the valley who also owned horses that they thought would run a bit, were very shy about tackling Bill Howard. Bell, unfortunately got pneumonia a few mouths after- wards and died, or she might have won a decent race had she had half a Bhow. W. L. Eyre. July, 1S90. Death of Old Shiloh. Mr. F. D, Waite of the San Diegan has kindly sent us an advance proof of an article on Shiloh which is as follows: Grand old Shiloh is no more. He lived out a life of use- fulness and quietly and painlessly passed into the race horse eternity. The hor3e was taken down with infirm old age on Saturday last, and lying down in his stall at JameB Madison's ranch near Julian, prepared to meet the inevitable. Mr. Madison and JameB Duffy came to the city yesterday afternoon and in conversation , the farmer said: "Yes, the old fellow is gone and I feel that I have lost one of my best friends. He was as gentle and loving as a woman, and knew* me as well as a dog knows his master. He died at 6 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, but T waB not present at the time of his demise. I could not see him die and so I went to the house and staid there until it was all over, I told one of my men to see that he was given a decent burial on the ranch, and then I left the ranch and went over to Jim Duffy's. Sunday we drove into Sau Diego." The writer spent several days on Mr. Madison's ranch a month or so ago, and he watohed with interest the care and kindness the old horse received, The stall in which he lived was better than some good men sleep in. He was too old to eat hay or hard grain, and Mr. Madison provided him with the oulinary horse luxuries of all seasons. The horse was as near human in intelligence as it is possible for the lower animals to approach. He knew Mr. Madisen. not only in physical presence but by the sound of his voice. For instance, in order to prove that Shiloh kntw him and loved him, Mr. Madison would go to the stable door when it was locked and from the outside say "Well, how is the old boy now?" The horse would whinny in & subdued and affectionate manner, and as often aa his master and friend would speak the 6»me evidence of recognition would follow. The very moment that Madison opened the door you would discover the handsome head of Shiloh protruding through the opening in the stall; his eyes snapping in eager expeotanoy ond whinnying continuously. As the owner neared the stall the old fellow would arch his neok and begin to prance and create a terrible noise, but as soon as |h< 'man entered he was as docile as a lamb. As Madieon sayB, "He lived better than I did and had better care.*' Shiloh was in hiB twenty-ninth year, and old age was the cause of his death. For several years he has been unable to masticate coaTee feed and has been kept up on bran masben and cooked feed, but his owner has never neglected him, and as a result the horse's vitality and poteuoy was main to the last. In fact hf continued in stud service until 1 1 day before bis doatli. 50 2pxe fpmte 'vnauBL ^povtsnvxa. July 26 Shiloh wa9 not a large horse, and at his best was rather be- low 16 hands. He was long bDdied and closely ribbed, and was marked by two peculiarities, one in his extreme length from the apex of his foreshonlder blades to the poll, and the the other the prominence of his forehead, a feature which he imparted to all of his colts. An observer also noticed that he was fully a hand higher over the shoulder* than he was over the hips, a conformation that is unobjectionable in a rnnner, but which is unfortunately nnfishiooable in these days in a trotter. If present theory prevails therefore, it will be hard to convert Shiloh's progeDy into trotters. Shiloh was thoroughbred. He wa3 sired by Cosmo, dam Fannie Harper, by Grey Eagle; second dam Jolia Ann by Medoc, etc. He waB brought to this country by John Treat, subse- quently became the property of Mrs. Treat, and from her passed to James Madison. The major portion of his years were passed in the moun- tains, where he could be mated only with mares of native stock. From these mares, however, he invariably produced horses of great speed for a short distance. Tradition tells of Shiloh himself doing a four mile race in younger days with credit. Shiloh kwas the sire of Gladstone, who broke the world's half mile and repeat record by running id 4S1 aDd 4SA, of Adam, whe won the firBt Southern California Derby, of Mikado, who is now successfully racing in the EaBt, of Johnny Grey, and John Treat, and of a dozen others who have proved speedy. He was also the sire of a number of roadsters now in use about the city, including a team owned by Mr. Babcock, another by W. J. Hunsaker, another owned by Attorney Darby, and there are dozens of others about the city. The stallion Reveille, formerly ownel by Ben Hill, but now at B. C. Holly's raDch near Vallejo, is also a son of Shiloh and is getting speedy colts, showing that 3hiloh has the capacity to breed on. ■*■ lone Entries.

Onr correspondent at Salinas writes to say that the lessee of the track at that place, Mr. Jas. Dwain, has the course in first class condition, and many horses are now being exercised over it. Mr. Dwain also has a large number of horseB under his own charge, of which probably the best one is Eagene by Electioneer, dam Lady Ellen, 2:29}. Eugeue was lately pur- chased by a syndicate of gentlemeD living in and about Spi- nas, who wished to get a first class horse to breed to the many really good mares that are in that locality. Eugene was bought at Palo Alto some months ago, and made his first season at Silinas this year. He is a handsome bay with one hind foot white; is three years old, and is commencing to show considerable speed.

Last year a racing meeting was given at Bedding under the auspices of the Agricultural Society, but this season it was deemed expedient to hold the Fair with no speed pro gramme. As there are large numbers of gentlemen inter- ested io horse breeding in and around that section, a meet- ing wbb called lust week for tbe purpose of organizing a Jockey Club. There was quite a large attendance and after some preliminary talk it was finally decided to organize, and the following officers were elected: A. C, Brigman president, H. Clinesobmidt, vice-president, H. B. Hodson secretary, Fred Grotefend treasurer; the executive committee being L F. Basset, F. Buinell. W. Bugbee, F. B. Simond and D. Chambers. Five days' raciug was agreed upon; the meeting to open September 23rd, whioh is tbe same date on which the County Fair will open. We have no doubt but what the enterprise of these gentlemen will be amply rewarded, and those who delight in horse raciug will see some pood con- tests. Foals at th© Hobart Farm.

He also says that he has every confidence that when this great stake is trotted for, that a Noonday colt will be found fighting with his mouth wide open, and it will take an Axtell or a Sunol to beat it.

Twenty-five polo ponies have arrived at Hunt's Point from Montana. , "s Fay by Electioneer reduced hia record to 2:25 at Spring field, 111. , « •*• Atto Rex'tiiB reported to be on his leg3 yet and showing all his old sp'eed, Albert Cooper hopes to be able to get Gorgo to the post for a race before long. William Hendrickson has his stable of trotters at the Napa track in charge of Jim Linden. Mr. Heed -was offered $10,000 recently for the two*year-old Fairview and declined to accept. The Ontario Jockey Clnb proposes to abolish steeplechases and take up hurdle races instead. Anna Belle, A.L. Whitney's two-year-old Dawn filly, went a mile at Fetalnma last Saturday in 2:39&. Father Bill Daly has bought the running qualities of all the horses owned by Mart Jordan for $3,500. J. "W. Martin is working thirteen colts on the Woodland track and also the well known stallion Clay Duke. There is some talk of a running meeting in Cleveland. New Yorkers are said to be behind the movement. Messrs. Briggs, Auburn, Me , Bay that Wellington— broth- er to Sunol 2;10£, is showing any quantity of speed. Bookmaker Walbaum has sent his stable of racers to Sar- atoga for the meeting there, which opens on the 2Sth. Conde won the free for all trot at Butte, Mont., taking the first heat in 2;24 and the fourth and fifth in 2:29£ and 2:29£. Jockey Moser has been released from his contract to ride for the Dwyer Brothers, and is now rarely seen in the saddle. Cy Mulkey's two year old colt Sinfax kept up his winning record at Missoula, winning the six f arlong race for two-year- olds. Factolua, who trotted in 2:24£ at Independence, Iowa, winning in straight heats, is by Patronage, brother to Patron 2:141. Win. Overhalser's Dawn stallion Oaknut, was driven a mile last Saturday by Lee Shaner in 2:24 on the Petaluma track. Gold Leaf 2:1 1] seems to be dead off. At Philadelphia on the 10th, she was beaten in the free-for-all in 2:19*. 2-19* and 2;23. Wilber F. Smith has Creole 2:20, T. C. Snyder's pacer, in good shape and hopes to get a good portion of the money on the circuit. Kaceland and Fides are resting at Monmouth. The former will he worked again in the fall, if his shoulder does not bother him. Messrs. Buckman & Carragher, Sacramento, refused $700 for a three-months-old colt by Noonday, from Amber bv Mon- roe Chief, 2:18J, Barnhart, the three -year-old brother to Allerton, is in the thirty list. On July 4th he trotted in 2:35.}. 2;29i and 2:29} at Independence, Iowa. Mr. Jonas Langfeld, the owner of Diablo, Bermuda, and other horses that run in the name of Castle Stable, has de- cided to sell his norses and retire from racing. Baldwin has been sold for $1,000. It is not E. J though but a trotter named after the lucky Santa Anita millionaire. He — the trotter, is by Glenarm from Nelly Lewiston Boy. The 3:00 trotting class at St. Paul was won in 2;26, 2:221. 2:24 In the 2;24 pace the best heat was 2;25, and in the special the beat heat was 2;21; peculiar to say the least of General Boulanger, who won the fourth race at Gnttenberg on the 16th in good style, was purchased by Mr. Bradley from Jim McCormick last February for the munificent sura oi$l. John Campbell of the Beaverwick S'able presented little Jockey Stevenson with a very handsome gold timer and chain last week as a reward for good riding and good be- havior. Dan Dennison picked up a couple of raoea at the Seattle meeting, Hotspur beating Broadchurch a mile dash while little Dave Douglass beat Coloma and Raindrop in a mile and repeat. Wood Wattles has bred Young Miami, by Paul's Abdallah, to Dawn, 2:183. She has a good looking colt at foot by Director. Mr. WattleB also sent his A. W. Richmond mare to Secretary. Benator 2:2H by Echo out of the Jones mare by Winthrop Morrill 373 was given away to a neighbor last fall by Marcus Daly, who did not like the looks of his legs on hiB return from California. Alicia by George Wilkes 2:22 (the sire of 60 trotters and o pacers in the 2:30 list) out of that great brood mare Alma Mater, is now in the 2:30 list after producing four colts at the Highland Farm. Tom Osborne, the English jockey, who won the St. Leger on Marie Stuart in 1873, and won also many other of the im- portant events in England, is at present a visitor at Brighton Beach, and takes in the races. W. J. Kerlin, Montgomery, Ala., has sold to G. W. Leihy, Chicago, the chestnut gelding Playboy 2:20£ for $0,000. Mr. Leihy sold to Mr. Kerlin, a four-year-old by Sir Pilot out of a Sunburst mare for $3,500. R. P. Ashe's speedy mare Geraldine once more disap- pointed her backers, the bearer of the pretty cherry jacket being unable to sprint with Blue Rock in the first race, 5 furlongs at the Saratoga meeting. When Al Farrow is not asked to give the platers over fif- teen pounds he can make their heads swim, says the Ameri- can Sportsman. He can give any number of them twenty pounds and a beating at a mile. At the first annual fair of Lassen county, which com* mences at Susanville, Oct. 6th, $5,000 in premiums and $3,500 in purses will be hung up. Among the novelties will be a sheep shearing contest, a vaquero contest, etc. Five Electioneers already in the 2.30 list this year the last is Conductor, a three-year-old grey stallion, brother to Eros 2;29J Electioneer — Sontag Mohawk, dam of Sallie Benton 2:17|, Sport 2:22| and Eros 2:29£. Rico seems to have come back to form. On Wednesday last cairyiog 116 lbs. in the fifth race at Monmouth he ran the five furlongs in 1:011 but was placed second though the general opinion was that he won by a longish head. Allen Maid, 2:16J by Ashley's Ethan Allen, dam Morgan Maid, a fast pacing mare owned in Boston, has bt en sold to Western parties for $4,000, and will be driven double here after by her new owner, who will retire her from the tnrf. Senator Hearst's western contingent seem to have better luck than the eastern stable. On Saturday last Anarchist won a five furlong race at Washington Park in 1:02 J. Anar- chist is an aptly named brother to Dynamite by Joe Hooker out of Chestnut Belle. H. R. H. The Prince of Wales, won his first race of the season on July 3rd at Newmarket with Pierrette, a bay two year old filly by Mask out of Poetry, who beat fifteen others in a maiden race. She was bred by the Prince which made the victory doubly sweet. Another plunger, now known as Mike Fletcher, has been raking in considerable money from the Eastern bookmakers recently. His luck has been marvellous of late, a nd his play has many followers. Brooklynites know him well, bnt to the outside world he is still on the perjh. John H. Kimbrough, the well known turfman, died on July 14*h at Lexington, Ken.( aged 39. He owned Avoodale, Sportsman, Eberlee and others. He was a son-in-law of the late T. J. Megibben, was president of the Lexington City Council, and held many other positions. Wyatt Earp and George Brann are said to have a lively candidate for the 2:30 class round the circnit in their recent purchase, Jim Leach. He is by Inca 2:27, dam by Sacra- mento, and cost $1,000. W. E»rp moved his string from San Diego to Los Angeles early this week. James Dumas, who formerly trained the Castle Stable horpes, wou $16,000 on July 15th at Monmouth Park by backing Eon, Sallie McClelland, Kempland and Esquimau. He did not back Diablo, probably because he didn't think any one else could train him as well as he. A set of eleotric bells was put in at the Saginaw track. The distance flag was dropped by thiB method, the gong in the judges' stand rung by it, and electric Del! placed near the quarter to call the horses back in the case of a false start, and another plaoed at the stables to call up the horses. Messrs. Tattersall say that the number of thoroughbred year- lings they had catalogued for sale at the Newmarket meeting this year was unprecedented. People on the other side are evidently beginning to realize the fact that the breeding of thoroughbreds is the most safe and lucrative style of farming in which to invest capital. Father William Daly started Rover, whom he bought from L. J. Rose a month or fo ago. in a steeplechase, one mile and a half, at Btighton Beach last week, and gave him to his friends as a sure thing. The Californian disappointed his backers, however, and fell, bis injuries beiog so bad that he will probably not race again. George Taylor, whose lee was so badly injured a fortnight ago, when Reckon kicked Jboth him and his mount, Lima, had more hard luck in his first mount on the 15th. He rode Diablo, and, in making a run around the turn, was crowded against the fence and had his leg hurt again, though tne injury is not deemed serious. The nine year old son of James McLaughlin, the trainer for Pierre Lorillard, 'promises to follow in his father's foot- steps. He seems to be a born jickey, and takes to the sad- dle as naturally as a duck to water. He ocoaBionally rides some of the Ranoocas horses in their exercise, and already shows considerable skill. Edith R who lowered her record at Ponghkeepsie, from 2:22* to 2:18} is by Monaco sire of four in the 2:30 list and a brother to Wedgewood 2:19, sire of six in 2:30; her dam is AuguBta Sohuyler 2:26 by Aberdeen 27, Bire of 27 trotters and one pacer in the 2:30 list, grandam Emetine, the dam of six and granddam of one in the thirty list. Daniel Sapp, a well-koown stock breeder of Pekio. III., on July 14th sold Miss Beniis. by Mambrino Patchen, with a Billy Wilkes colt by her side, "to W. R. Brasfield of Lexing- ton. Ky , for $8,000. Miis Bemis is the dam of Judge Rider, 2:281, and of Lizzie E. R., who can trot inside of 2:30, and will be given a record this present season. "There is a hurdle race on at Brighton to-day." shouted a colored youth who stood on the steps of a Coney Island train as it moved past the course, "Why so?" asked a companion. "Because, don't you see a bine and gold (lag waving in the field. Well, dat flag means hurdles." "What about steeples?" "Den you will see a yellow and crimson flag." The reports that have been published and very generally circulated to the effect that Fides and Raceland have been thrown out of training and sent to Mr. Belmont's Kentucky farm are altogether wrong. Both are still at Monmouth Park. Fide's last race undoubtedly injured her considerably, bat she now gives promise of rounding to and coming into racing form again. Raceland has an attack of rheumatism, which has necessitated a rest. A report from Saratoga is to the effect that W.- J. Arkell President of- the Mount McGregor Railroad, and several other capitalists, propose to build a new raoe course at Saratoga Springs that will equal both the Morris Park and Monmouth Park race tracks in size and magnificence. The plans for the new course have been almost completed, and negotiations for the purchase of the necessary land are well under way. Mart Jordan has sold out his horses in training, and which were quartered at the Gravesend track, to W. C Daly. The lot consisted of six two-year-olds, some of them partic- ularly well bred. Father Bill, if he goes on at his present rate, will soon have the largest string in training of any owner. At present the horses which sport the green above the red number thirty*seven, and nearly all of them have earned brackets, A valuable contemporary calls upon the members of the National Trotting Association to strictly enforce the new rule: "Any contest for pur e, premium, stake, wager, or involving admission fees in the presence of judges appointed in accor- dance with rule 25 shall constitute a public race." Role 25 stipulates that in every exhibition or race three competent judges who understand the rules shall occupy the stand and enforce them. One feature of the last Ascot meeting was the heavy bet- ting indulged in by several well known racing men. For in- stance, says "Truth" Captain Macbell had the large atake of £2,000 on The Deemster for the Coventry Stakes at an aver- age of 2 to 1, and Mr. Cox, one of Ryan's patrons, backed Orvieto for £3,000 in the New Stakes. Mr. H. Fen wick, owner of Day Dawn, and Lord Cholmondeley won £17,000 between them over that colt's success in the Wokingham Stakes. Anrnng the Palo Alto string on the California Circuit will be Express 2:21, Snsette, a seven year old sister to Suibuu; Ariana, a four year old by Ansel 2:20, out of Rebecca (dam of Rexford2:24 at 3y. o.) by General Benton 1755; EIIp, Bix years old, with a record of 2:29 as a four year old, by Electioneer out of Lady Ellen by Carr's Mambrino 1789, and a two year old sister to Ella called Ellencer, who was last year as fast as a bullet, and was said to be in readiness if Norlaine's year- ling record were lowered. Morris Park could be tucked away in the corner of the new Monmouth Park and no one would notice its presence. Mor- ris Park bas a straight-away track three quarters of a mile in length. Monmouth bas one twice that distance. At Morris Park a race of a mile and a quarter can only be with one long turn. At the new Monmouth the race will be decided straightaway, with not a curve intervening between the flag and the finish. Morris Park's grand stand could be stowed away in the Monmouth's betting ring. Monmouth's new grand stand will shelter 20,000 people. W. H. Babb's three year old colt Guido won the mile and a half at Missoula on the 15th in 2:43}; J- Dowd's Sunday won the three furlongs in 35 seconds and the half mile and repeat on the following day. The half mile and repeat for local horses was won by Diavolo in 0;51 £ and 0:51|. Diav- olo, who also won the mile dash the next day, is a half bro- ther to the crack trotters Palo Alto 2:12}, Big Jim 2:231, and Gertrude Russell 2:231; he is by Shannjn. H. Kirkendall's HomeBtake won thetror, best heat in 2:34i. The heat was very oppressive — 98 degrees in the shade. Several of the big stables are having a decidedly hard run of luck just at present. Up to now the winnings of the Dwyer Brothers will not total up 25 per cent, of the money won last year by the stable. Then, again, their prospeots for the future do not appear as bright jast now as they did last spriog. Eon and Longstreet are about the only bread- winners among their lot of 40 or more in training. Last week the brothers looked the stable over carefully and weeded out 15 racers, and sent them to Brighton to earn their oats. The Hearst, Belmont and Withers stables are also in bad luck, and Belmont will probably retire. Now that the season is in full swing, judges of trot- ting raees should bear in mind that the rules have been changed for several years, so that horses which were for- merly distanced, for foulB or other matters chargeable to the driver and not to the horse, are now ruled out instead. A horse can now be distanced only for his own lack of speed or faulty gait. The idea is that the reputation of the horse is unwarrantably injured when the permanent record of races Bhows that he was distanced, when the driver aud not the horse was to blame, aB the record does not show the entire faots, and the presumption would be that the horse was behind the flag. The Hurdle Stake was, of course, the race of the day, says the Sporting World, and you should have seen the venerable, the Sage of Hartford, after his horse's number had been hoisted. It seemed as if every drop of Iiish blood that coursed through Father William's veins asserted itself, and he clapped his hands, shouted and chuckled nntil he was hoarse. "They thought they'd beat him with that there Canada horse," he ejaculated as soon as he regained his breath. "Why, they're running yet. I tell you boys, I know a jumper when I see him, and they laughed at me when I gave $1,000 for this fellow, but I guess I can laugh, now." At East Saginaw. Mich , on July ISth, Mr. Salisbury's Margaret S. and Cricket both won races in good style, as the following summary showB: 2:20 pace. Puree $600.

De Lacy don't want to pay these, much as be wiBhes to carry on hifi war of reverjge. He pays bis counsel, one M«yer, hia $100 a day regularly, and thinks that is sufficient. A good story is told about Meyer in connection with his work for De Lacy. It runs in this way: Last week Meyer got up in one of the prayer meetings held in Eatootown and announced that "by Saturday we hope to be able to announce to yon that we shall have stopped the wicked racing at Monmouth." An elderly sister interrupted the speaker at this point by remarking in a piping voice, "Yes, brother, and you can also announce that you will then have taken the bread from the mouths of a lot of people in this church and in Monmouth County. "And it is 3aid," she continued, "that some peo- ple get mighty well paid for doing their missionary work." Mr. Meyer was squelched. The betting ring at Monmouth was crowded with a surg- ing, excited mass of humanity, says the Sporting World. eager to place their money on the horse they fancied. It was a big game they were playing at, and thousands were bandied about from hand to hand just like so much worth- less paper. But outside the fence there was another game going on just as important to those who played at it aa the big game inside, and a group of of dusky Italian laborers, some of those who had helped to build the big track, were the prin- cipals. A little iron stake with a flat top was driven into tbe ground, and on this were piled with considerable ingenuity coppers, quarters, nickles, dimes, and several curious look- ing foreign coins. In regular order each man who played would step back about ten paces and cast a coin at the stake, his object being to strike it and knock otVall he could, but it was a difficult task, as anyone who tries it will discover. Time and again each player tried nnsnccessfully, and one young man steps over tbe line as he makes his throw. In an instant a reg- ular Babel is brought about his ears. Everybody jibbers at once— they threaten, shake their fists in his faoe and scowl darkly. A stout, broad shouldered fellow stands with arms folded regarding the turmoil. Then he step* forward, plants one broad foot down before the stakes and motions the bowling crowd away. He speaks mildlv, and it would seem sarcas- tically, but one by one tbe dark, eoowliog faces light up and a few even smile pleaeantlv. Tbe big foot is removed and the young man goes back to make a second throw. The coin spins ligbily ia the air and lights on the pile of money scattering it alt about the stake/ A howl of rege goes up from the assemblage, but the young fellow gathers np the coins, shov-s tbem deep in tbe pockets of his blue jeans, and. smiling sardonically on the vanquished, saunters care- lessly away down the dusty road. Then more money is produced, sod the g^m- wbile tbe next race is being tun. 54 *Q\xz ^xtttiitx e the Bpirit of unrest in the animal: he blew bis nose a few times, switched his tail wilh emphasis, kicked spasmodically, and finally began a good square buck. Col. Beaver's remarks during the tantrums of the horse if pub- lished, would lose him his situation in the Sunday-school of which he has so long been an examplar. After a while, Dor- mer managed to free the horse from the jaws of the hornets, and the Colonel, without even so much as saying thaok you, rode off to camp alone. 1890 %ht Sweater ku& JSpmismau. 55 Mr. Thomas B.

McBeth, the Denver notable who has pervaded San Francisco for a few weeks, left for his home on Monday last delighted with his visit to California. We can aasare him that the pleasure was mntnal. "Why is it that during this season, when news is scanty and hard to get, our readers do not Bend along accounts of their adventures by flood and field either recent or in earlier years0 They will find plenty of readers, and appreciative ones; sncb stories are ever entertaining. Mr. R. T. Vandevort came up from Pasadena on Sunday jastfor a week's stay. He is on the qui vive for the coming field trials, in which he is, by reason of his experience and perfect candor, so prominent a factor as a judge. We hope to see him in a judge's saddle in January. « Mr. A. Y.

Lillian F. Smith, the California Girl Champion Rifle Shot of the World, made a gxeat hit in Ashland, Or. At her shooting room hundreds of ladies and gentlemen witnessed her wonderful exhibition with the rifle. She also gave an out door exhibition on July 4th, on the balcony of the Ore- gon Hotel in the presence of 3,000 spectators. The audience gave three cheers for the "California Girl." THE KENNEL Mr. Joe G. Mansfield, literateur, athlete, angler and cham- pion all round good fellow, rode into town from Sacramento last week breezy and bright as ever, and with a great batch of charming little stories about Nick White, the Bruners, Clint White, Howard Kimbrough, Charlie McClatchy, and the other leading yonng men of Sacramento. Mr. Mansfield's connection with the Record-Union of that city we are pleased to learn is satisfactory to both parties concerned. In the hope of answering many inquiries in a few words, we may say that the organization styled the Sportsmen's Pro- tective Association of California is in no way connected with the California State Sportsman's Association. The purposes of the two institutions are dissimilar; there is nothing in common between tbem in so far as we can learn. The State Sportsmen's Association has existed for some nine years, and is to be credited with all that has been accomplished in the way of game and fish conservation during that period. The other is of recent formation, and seems to be rather politics in character. *. Mr. Adam Damm, one of the finest shots in the State, and a leading sportsman of Sacramento, has passed Borne days in San Francisco recently, and has made many friends. He reports the Pacifio Sportsmen's Club alive and energetic, and full of enthusiasm about the October meeting of the State Sportsman's Association. Two Sacramento teams will enter for the Selby trophy. It may be said, by the way. that all of the clubs holding membership in the association should begin the selection of their teams for the great team match, in order that a little practice may be had. At least ten teams should compete this year. ♦ Mr. A. Decourtieux returned on Wednesday from a week's stay at the Gebhardt and Langtry Ranchos with Dr. C. W. Aby. The time was passed in riding about the magnificent property, looking at the stock, and sampling the yellow-legeed chickens and sour mash dispensed with lavish hospitality by Dr. Aby. At the end or his visit, Mr. Decourtieux was taken back to Harbin Springs by the doctor in a narrow cart with a pair of horses hitched tandem. The distance is four miles over a mountainous road, and was made in twelve minutes by the aid of a whip and certain discordant soreeches emitted a? intervals by the mad doctor. Mr. Decourtieux reports the Gebhardt property in fine shape; quail abundant; deer to be had for the killing; fine catfish in myriads, everything, in fact, to drive dull care away; Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co., at 630-632 Montgomery Street, city, announce in another column the receipt of sev- eral hundred hammerless gans. The announcement is sug- gestive of the progress of the firm toward a commanding posi- tion in the trade on the Pacific slope. The puns vary in price, from a very moderate Bum to three hundred dollars for the exquisite premier arms made by that master workman, John P. Clabrough. The Clabrough gun has for many years been the most popular in local circles, partly by reason of its reasonable price, but mainly" because of its unvarying excel- lence in materials and the good workmanship always to be noted. No more elegant lines, better balance, nor more "lively" feeling in the hand can be found than in the guns now being built by the firm for Western sportsmen.

W. Whitlock. J. M. Taylor. Animal Renegades. FELIX L. OSWALD IN "ZOOLOGICAL, SKETCHES." A singular character- trait of all animal renegades is their hostility towards their servile relatives. Travelers on the Rio Grande have to be \ery careful in picketing their saddle horses, for if they stray into the prairie they are sure to be "mobbed" and crnelly kicked by the wild mustangs. A Bokhara courier, it appears, would rather meet a panther than a troop of wild camels; tbe mere sight of the gaunt monsters will frighten a dromedary out of its wits, and un- less the rider has much gunpowder to waste, the renegades, in spite of their timidity, come nearer and nearer, tbe cows stretching their long necks inquisitively, while the old males prance around with snorts that leave no doubt of their evil intentions. This rancor seems to be aggravated by a sort of esprit de corps, for in private life wild and tame beasts of the same Bpecies agree well enough and even pair, voluntarily alliances between a dog and a female dingo, wild and tame hogs, mares and mustangs, etc., are by no means rare, but en masse their caste antagonism promptly asserts itself: jast as a man may be tbe bosom friend of a partisan whose greeting in a public assembly he would hesitate to acknowledge; dur- ing the fever heat of our sectional fend more than one dwell- er in Dixie thought it his duty to ku-klnx his own brother. The only animal I ever saw literally torn into shreds was a Mexican butoher dog that had followed us across the Bolson de Mapimi, the rocky plateau between the plain of Durango and the Valley of the Eio Grande. The dog's owner, a poor Cbinaco, had tried hard to Bell him, but finally decamped with my partner's saddle blanket, leaving his mastiff in lieu of payment; and, in accordance with a queer, but well known law of human nature, tbe poor quadruped then became the target of relribntive attacks both verbal and practical; but, apparently mistaking onr tent wagon for the lurking place of his missing master, he followed us with the resignation of a martyr. The Bolson is a ravinous country, and on the day after the Chinaco's departure we passed a precipitous gully at a place where a broken wheel and a lot of scattered boards marked tbe scene of a recent accident. It looked like a slippery place, and, sure enough, down in the golly some forty feet below the road lay the oarcass of a big male, half buried in debris and surrounded by a swarm of tramp dogs. They had juat begun their feast, and most of tbem were evidently in need of it, there were about twenty of them, two of the youngsters with a faint resemblance to half-grown Bhepherd dogs, but all the rest of a more than woltish leanness. Famine never reduces the body of a wolf beyond a certain point; his chest bones make him look stout in spite of his starved belly; but the skeleton of a dog seems to shrink to- gether with his bowels; some of the tramps in the gully looked upon their backbones— "all legs and spine," like spider monkeys. Tbe shrinkiog of the lips had barred their teeth and gave them an unspeakably savage appearance whenever they leered at us with their deep-set eyes. Some- thing or other seemed to excite them, and. looking around, I saw our frieod the mastiff standing at the very edge of tbe ravine and looking down with a sort of pensive interest. "Tbat'fl what folka ccme to who lose their masters," he might think to himself as he gazed upon the hungry tramps. But, while he gazed, one of the muleteers approached him from behind, lifted his foot, and in the next moment the mastiff's refieotions were out short by a kick that sent him head over heels through the air into the abyss below. What we call presence of mind is often nothing bnt an in- stinctive impulse— one of those instincts wbicn a mortal danger awakens even in the hnman soul. Dogs are half hu- man, guided partly by principles and prt jadiceB, but in crit- ical moments they act rightly from intuition. When the mastiff landed in tbe gully he picked himself np and stood still, rigidly still, facing the tramps, who had scat- tered in every direction, but now gathered around him with omioons looks. They approached within ten or twelve yards and then cime to a halt, watching tbe iutruder with a stead- fast gaze, silently, and with a gradual contraction of their haunches, like panthers crouchiDg for a spring. Where the first movement is sure to be a signal of attack, even great strategists somehow prefer to let the enemy strike tbe first blow and thus betray his tactics— "forewarned, forearmed" — but circumstance? are jpt to disconcert such plans. A thing not larger than a hazelnut, a pebble thrown from the top of the rock, made the mastiff start just for a moment, bnt in that moment tbe pack leaped upon him with a simul- taneous rash, and two seconds after the sounds of cracking bones announced the end of the unequal struggle. They had borne him down at the first onset, and wben they finally dragged him into the open gully I do not believe that there was an unbroken joint in his body. Three of the big tramps had done most of the killing, but now the whole paok laid hold, aod in less time than it takes me to write the words they had torn him in pieces, not in tbe conventional but in the literal sense of the word— limb from limb and rib from rib — with a fury and a ra^e of destractiveness which plainly showed that hunger had nothing to do with their motives. It was evidently an act of revenge, provoked prox- imately by his unceremonious intrusion, but chiefly, without doubt, by the odiam invMae, the pariah's deep-seated and long-cherished hatred of the privileged caste whose repre- sentative had dared to beard them in their den. What right had he to wax fat while they starved — to fatten in the service of the arch-usurper of all the good things of this earth and then mook the leanness cf virtuous liberals? "La mort sans phrase!" The London Shooting Times reproduces the picture of the pointer Old Black Joe. which recently appeared in this pa- per. Mr. M. D. Walter told us last week that Miss Lansing's English Setter Sirocco by Sportsman— Sweetheart, had come to be one of the best hunting dogs he knew, having good nose, good judgment, all necessary pace and great staying power. Red Setters are entered in several of the Field Trial Stakes to be run daring the fall and winter, and not a few men are hoping for the success of the breed. In the Pacific Coast Field Trials Mr. Schmieden of this city will start a red dog in •he Derby which is likely to go near the money if reports of his Field qualities are accurate. Mr. H. Boyd on Wednesday last remarked that he felt quite encouraged about the Merced Meeting in November; he apprehended in no difficulty in securing all needed funds whenever the committee 6hould start systematically to col- lecting. The confidence of local owners in their dogs is quite nnshaken by Mr. Lowe's promise to bring White Lips and other grand animals in his string. With Mr. Huntington, Dr. Van Hummel, Dr. Royce, and others of that ilk iu the field with such veterans as Domiuick Shannon, John F. Car- roll, T. J. Cronin and fifty more who might be named, keen competition is sure to result. "Brittle" contributes to the Fanciers Journal the following paragraphs, always of course with reference to our contem- poraries. To the Editor of the Dear Sir: It may interest your readers to know that my champion Irish setter bitch, who is the most perfect ou point — at a bone— in the world, was seen to scratch herself. The kennel man declared it was a little skin trouble, but I am positive it was a stray flea that must have come from Mr. 's in the next state. She has now eight splendid pup- pies five minutes old, the finest and largest I ever saw, by my champion dog, who, in spite of Mr. 's allu-iooe to his being spikey-faced, undersized and soft-looking {(he out- come of envy and jealousy) is the greatest wonder of tbe age, as his record of 300 H. C's at big shows, aod 2000 firsts where there was no competition will Bhow. As a true lover of this breed, and having spared no expense in procuring the purest bloud, both imported and otherwise, to givo breeders a chance I will book orders for this young stock at a piice whioh snob, goods have never before been offered, and if uot found to be the most genuine article yet put on tbe market. I will forward all claims to be considered a connoi- the breed, for having devoted a few hours of my life in read- ing Vero Shaw, Dalziel and 8tonehenge, I think I can justly lay claim to knowing something about dogs. Yours truly, Proprietor of the Long-winded Kennels. To the Editor: Dear Sir: I must again apologize for trespassing on your valuable space (how valuable none knows better than myself, for it does away with the expense of advertising) but cannot allow the assertions of Mr. to pass unchallenged. He speaks about bis dog being tbe staunches! and best that wan ever seen in the field, when I know for a fact he is like all bis breed, his father before bim, and his grandfather as well. the most gun-shy brute that ever stepped. It is all very well for Mr. to offer to back his dog" for $2,000,000 against my Champion , as he knows full well it cannot be ac- cepted, as my dog is already 20 years old. and never having yet been seen working except by my sisters, my cout-iun and my auntB, it is not likely I shall run him in puMio now. Yes. mnca as I regret it, it is impossible for me to give the public even one chance of ever seeing tbe most perfect field dog as ever was, wipst up the earth with such potterejs as Roderigo, Rowdy Rod, Roger, Toledo Blade, etc.. but 1 will bet $lnO 000 (forfeit of one cent enclowen) that bis great, great grandson, if he ia out of my champion bitch's gre*t, great, great gianddanghter, will beat, within eighteen months after he ia born, anything that such a notoriety seeker as Mr. can name.

GAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON. OAKLAND vs. STOCKTON. Fbiday, July 18th at Oakland. "Kid" Carsey pitched magnificent ball in this game, the StocktoniaDs being able to secure but one trifling hit of his wonderful delivery, while on the other hand Mike Kilroy's curves and drops were bombarded all over the lot. The Colonels can play ball on their own grounds '.and did give a fine exhibition on this occasion. The Gas City boys were not in good playing trim, makiDg several costly errors at ths start and permitting the Oaklands to gain such a lead that all interest was lost in the contest. Armstrong had the sec- ond joint of the index finger of his right hand broken in the third inning trying to stop a wild pitch and retired in favor of Duane. The hitting of Stickney, Dungan and Lohman and the fielding of McDoDald, C. O'Neill, Carsey, Selna, Hapeman and Wilson were the features. The score: and McDonald were the important features. Meegan was substituted for Cobb in the seventh inning, and did well. The umpiring of Gagus was as usual satisfactory.

Friday July 18th., at Sacramento The Goblins had this game well in hand up to the eighth inning, when the Senators did some furious hitting and aided by an overthrow on the part of Ebright they scored four runs. This was sufficient to give them the game, but they added two more to their string in the ninth, the score closing nine to sis. Hoffman pitched tine ball after the tirst inning, but three hits being secured off him from the second to the ninth. Bowman and Roberts both secured home runs in the eighth inning. Bowman's drive to the left field fence was the longest ever made on the grounds. The hit- ting of Godar, Bowman and Roberts, the finished fielding of Reilly, Shea, Stapleton and Reitz, and the backstop work of Stevens and Bowman, were the prominent features. Cap- tain Ebright's work at third base was exceedingly poor. The umpiring of Donohue was very satisfictory. The score, Sacbamentos Stocktons , Oaklands Earned runs — Oaklands 5, Stocktons 6.

CLase was a mark for the heavy hitting Sacramentans, but the errors of the Friacos also helped them to victory. Lookabaugh went in the bos in the third inning and pitched out a creditable game, Coughlin pitohed his first game for Sacramento, and showed great speed and fine curves, but did not have perfect control of the ball. Five singles were all that were secured of him: which would have been exceptionally good work had it not been marred by his giving eight bases on balls. His support by Bowman and the in and out-field was almost faultless. The fielding of the Friscos was not good, Reilly, Hanley and Ebright doing the only clever work. Roberts, Bowman, Godar and McHale carried off the batting honors. Umpire DoDohue called the game at the end of the eighth inning to enable the Sacramentos to catch the Stockton train.

Saturday, July 19th, at Haight St. The Oaklands had an elegant lead in this game, and it looked like another defeat for Cahill's men. But the scene was ohanged in the fifth inning. It was then that the Stock* toniauB brought forward their reserve stock of base hits, and maybe Colonel Cobb didn't get a cannonading! Four base hits, one a triple, a sacrifice and a couple of woolly errors by TJangan and N. O'Neill, gave them four runs and tied the joore. In the eixth they made sis hits, getting five more runs thereby. This gave them the game.

OAKLAND vs. SAN FRANCISCO. Sunday, July 20th at Oakland. The Goblins hit Carsey good and hard but ran the bases Btupidly and bo lost. Oakland took every advantage of their six hits and with the help of two bases on balls in the eight inning, Perrier's error and N. O'Neill's single they got two men across therplate winning handily. It was a very pretty game to look upon and greatly pleased the Oakland cranks. Ex- Colonel Eill made his appearance with the Friscos and played a brilliant game at center. Twenty chances were of- fered in left and center fields for both teams of which nine- teen were accepted. Aside from theontfield work, the hitting of Perrier and Hanley, the base stealing of Reilly and the in- field work of Ebright, McDonald and N. O'Neill were note- worthy features.

When the Oaklands and Frisoos are Bchedaled to play two games on the same day, in betting circles the odds are laid on Oakland winning both. Last Sunday was no exception to the general rule. The Friscos Buccumtel to the inevitable, or rather to Colonel CoM) and his eight colleagues. ChaBe was again hit hard and was also wild while his support was at times poor. Cobb was pouched out hard, but the hits were well scattered except in the fifth inning when four hits, netting three runs, were bunched off him. After that he steadied down in great shape, not another single being secured. The game was not interesting, although there were Borne good plays made. In this respect Reilly, Ebright, McDonald and Carsey excelled, and JDungan, Lohman and Stevens were Btrong at the bat. The score: San Fbancisco. ab. e. bh. sb. po.a.e.

The Senators forged ahead from the third inning and were never overtaken in this game. Coughlin and Perrott both pitched cleverly but ihe hits off Coughlin were scattered while those off the Sau Joaquin boy were bunched at times and his support was poor. The game was devoid of any special features excepting the home run of Daly, the brilliant fielding of Roberts, Godar's third base play and the catch- ing of Armstrong. The winning of this gums made the eleventh straight victory for the Sacramentos. The score: SrCCKTONS.

The Senators got but two hits of Kilroy in this game, while the Stocktons secured eight of HoffniaD, and still the Gas City Beauties lost. Their defeat was, however, attributable to errors on the part of Fudger and Holliday. The Sacramontos got two men across the plate in the third inning on Fudger'B error, of Reitz's fly.McHale's sacrifice and Hoffman's home run drive. In the sixth Goodenough hit one overseoond which Holliday failed to block and Goodenough made the entire circuit be- fore the ball reached home. Aside from these errors the game was a very brilliant one. Reitz. Daly, Stapleton and Godar for Sacramento, aud Fogarty, Selna and Wilson for Stockton played a marvellous fielding game.

Thursday, Jqlt 24th, at Haiottt St. This was a most uncertain game, fall of clean, hard hit- ting, and considerable sharp and phenomenal playing, which unfortunately was interspersed with several healthy, live- sized errors. Bnt it was close all through, and toward the end looked like a Tenny and Salvator finish. Sacramento, however, lost on the stretch, the Goblins engineering two men across the plate on a conple of hits and some disastrous throwing. There was a big Thursday crowd present, and the grand stand was graced by many beautiful and handsomely costumed young ladies whose sympathies evidently were with the dashing Senators. Young made his reappearance with Frisco, and while touched up lively, was far steadier than Harper. There was some stupid base running and coaching on both sides, and had Stapleton's men taken belter advan- tage of several chances, they would have been victorious. McHale carried off the batting honors, being closely followed by Ebright, while Shea, Levy, Hanley, Godar and Bowman also did some bard and opportune hitting. The most brilliant feature of the game was Stapleton's marvelous catch of a foul tly alongside the grand stand, and for which he jumped three feet in the air. It was certainly the most remarkable catch of its kind ever made at the Haight St grounds. The double play of Godar, Bowman and Stapleton was also another very pretty and clever piece of work, while Shea, Hanley, Godar and Daly's general fielding was of a very superior order. Another pleasing feat- ure was the superb base running of Bowman and Shea. Far the first time Gagus' decisions did not meet with universal favor, and to all appearances the Senators got the worst of the deal. The score: San Feanci co. - AB B BE SB FO A SaCBaMESTO.

The Friscos have advanced uncomfortably close on Oak* land's heels while Sacramento is so far ahead in the race that it is com pari tivt-ly safe for a long time yet, and wont be over- taken without a severe straggle. Stockton still clings tena- ciously to fourth place. the record:— (to July 24'.h, inclusive). m o CO CD Q Q hi a p o o O S3 P p R a *1 P» a Clubs.

Young and Shea have now fally recovered. Fred Carroll's batting average is 368 up to date. Ben Young is giving great satisfaction up North. Billy Cooney is now playing with the Salem, Or., team. It is possible that Latham will be transferred to Cleveland. Charley Sweeney's plans tor the future are not yet defined. Keep your eye on Tom Agnew the new pitcher of the Aliens. Holliday is a wonderful fly catcher, but he's often weak on ground balls. Buffalo would like to secure the services of first baseman Jay Faatz . Peek-a-boo Yeacb, recently released by Cleveland has signed with the Atlantic City team. Josh Eeilly who has been released by Manager Finn will hereafter play Bhort for the Santa Bosas. Farrell of the Sacramentos and Eeilly of the Friscos have both been relegated to the amateur ranks. Carsey says that Jack McGocken whom Bobinson is nego- tiating for is a great outfielder and fine hitter. Old reliable Fete Meegan is often brought to the front now, especially when the teams are in a tight place. Ex-Colonel Hill played two games for Finn Sunday. Hill is quite a fielder and should be given another opportunity. Our Tom Brown is doing some powerful stick work for Boston. His hitting average for the month of July is 350. Yan Haltran when not pitohiDg is played in left field for the Brooklyn players' team on account of his heavy hitting abilities. Hub Collins who was here with the Louisvilles in '86. is putting up a wonderful game for the Brooklyn League Club at second base. RobinBon is disposed to be generous. Should he get a third baseman whom he is after, he is going to present Stickney to Finn. Gittiuger, the heavy hitting left fielder of the St. Louis Browns, has been released. Here would be a prize for any of our local teams. The Stockton Mail calls Kilroy the ( 'king pitcher of the California League.1' Wonder where Coughlin, Carsey, Harper and Perrott get off at. Gaffrey and Sheridan are a good pair of umpires to draw to. They are undoubtedly the king-pins of the Players' staff.— Sporting Life. Billy Cate, who, while with the old Knickerbockers, was considered a star outfielder, is now umpiring the Amateur gameB at Haight street. Stockwell has caught on in great shape with the Dee Moines people. With him and Traffley the team has a brace of very capable backstops. "Comiskey's Chicago Cookoos" is what they call the World's Fair team now. If our home team was playing good ball, we could dub them Finn's Frisco Loo-loos ' The work of the Frisco catchers lack spirit and earnestness. Infuse a little ginger into your playing, boys, for we've al- ways been used to seeing good backstop work in previous seasons. Buck Ebright's work has not been anything very brilliant of late either at the bat or in his position. Still many think he's the best player in the Frisco team, but that wouldn't be saying very much. Nick Smith is at home, but it is doubtful if be will play ball in the California League. There were some overtures made him but the consideration was not sufficient to induce him to don a uniform. Willie Walter Veach is again on the ragged edge, having been released from Cleveland. Little Willie had been play- ing peek-a-boo with the beer keg again and covering its con- tents in splendid style. W. B., Santa Eosa. In our opinion B wins. The Santa Eosa team was de- feated in the game. The protest cuts no figure in the case. On the 19th inst, the Portlands with Whittaker in the box shut out the Spokanes; score 5 to 0. Harry O'Day, the California boy wonder, played with thePortlands, putting up an excellent game at second base. Hartford of the Atlantic Association has had nine pitchers this season. The latest acquisition is Kidd, a player who combines religion and base ball. Twirler Kidd is said to be able to preach a fine sermon. Gagus' umpiring has been a brilliant and unqualified suc- cess. Thoroughly capable, ''without fear or favor," and im- mensely popular, Gagas can certainly be ranked foremost among the autocrats of the diamond. Mike Tiernan still leads the League in long hits, with twelve doubles, ten triples and eight home runs to his credit. Eeilly is right at his heels, with an even dozen doubles, the same number of triples and three homers. It will take a long time for the Wilmington people to get over the effects of the Fourth of July, aa their representative club won two games on that day, and it created such excite- ment that everybody in the place took a hand in the paint- ing act. — Critic. The Denver Club has a big burly outfielder by the name of Treadway, who manages to make himaelt very disagreeable and exceedingly unpopular by the manner in which he con- stantly quarrels with the bleachers. He is something of a pugilist, and he is constantly talking scrap. In the score of the Oakland — Stockton flame of Friday July ISth. at Oakland there was an error in the base bit col- umn. Lobman should have hit three instead of two hits, and Stickney four instead of three. The hits were creeited to these players in the Hcore book however, the mistake occurring in the call off. Anson is a very much overrated man ao far as team hand- ling and work is concerned. Tom Burns is his pointer and source of information when technical kicks are on. Only AnBon's hitting has kept him in the game. Comiskey's mag- nificent fielding at first base has captured Chicago and largely reduced Anson's admirers. — Exchange. Dungan is hitting the ball terrifically of late. He gener- ally gets in three or four hits a game now, and is rapidly approachine the top. With a few more men of Dungan's hit- ting abilities, the Colonels would be quickly landed on top. In a game of July 6th, between Jersey City and Wilming ton, McGucken, the left fielder of Jersey, and the player with whom Eobioson is negotiating, secured five bits off Wehrle— one triple, a doublo and three sin lea. Bobinson evidently has Lis eye on good hitters. Bad boy— "Lick me, an' ye'll be Borry." Teacher (holding the rattan aloft)— "Why ?" "Cause if you do it'll make my hands sore, an' if they're sore I cant ketch in to-morrow's game, an' if I don't ketch the game'll be lost an' the name of the school dragged in the dust. See?" Col. Bobinson has engaged Charley Sweeney to play a few games with the Oaklands, pending the arrival of his Eastern people. EobiDeon would du well to sign Sweeney perma- nently, as it is very doubtful if any of his new men will be an improvement on the heavy hitting baseman. A female oggregation of ball players came to grief on July 7th, at Akron, O., where a constable had attached the trunks containing their wearing apparel. The young ladies were obliged to wear their ball suits around the hot°l they were stopping at until matters were settled up. — Clipper. McCarthy will not in himself be strong enough to win all the games the Friscos need, and the eesistance he will re- ceive frcm Loobabaagh and Young won't amount to much. Besides McCarthy, Finn needs two more first clasB pitchers and several stroDg hitters in his team to have any chance for pennant honors. The "battery" scene between DeWolf Hopper and Delia Fox in ''Castle3 in the Air" is the beBt baseball act done on the stage. Miss Fox's pitching is a great take off, and that part where Hopper gets the wrong sign is about as funny a scene as one often sees behind the footlight. It will pay you just to see that oae scene if you are a baseball crank.— Ex. Charley King of Chicago, holds the honor of being the first pitoher in the Players' Leigae to dispose of an opposing team without a hit in a full game. This feat eclipses any- thing ever done by a pitcher, because of the increased pitch- ing distance and lively ball of the Dew League, and also be- cause of the superior batting ability of the team opposed to him. Josh Eeilly played twelve games for the Friscos, having seventy chances offered and accepting fifty-four, givicg a percentage of .771. Of the sixteen errors made, nine occurred in two games, when Eeilly was afflicted with a severe case of the rattles. Barring these two games, be would have ac- cepted fifty of fifty-seven chances, which would have given him the very creditable percentage of .S77. The work of catcher Lohman of the Oaklands has been more than a surprise this season. Last year, when with Sac- ramento Pete was considered a very ordinary catcher, while now he has no peer in the backstop department in the Cali- fornia League except possibly Bowman. Lohman's strong forte is in throwing, and this combined with bis remarkable agility makes him greatly feared by all base runners. The following is said to have been dedicated to Mike Finn and his team of "wind beaters" last Saturday by Eddie Moran on receipt of the information that the home team bad lost again in Sacramento: Oh, Frisco's, dear FriBCo'a come home to ua now. Your record abroad is a "frost;" You eaid yon were going to win dow and then — But you've lo9t, and you've lost and yon've lost. White Stocking Park, Chicago, is by all odds the finest structure of its kind in the west. It is now finished and the playing field is as good as though in use for rive years. Four months ago it was a cabbige garden. A bicycle and pedestrian track one quarter of a mile long is being put down. It will form a trame for the bright green field and increase the beauty of the place. It will Beat S,000 people, and four thousand chairs can be placed upon the track on dayB when the crowds run over the stands. — American Sportsman. Last Sunday Perrier wore a bright new pair of stockings. This announcement, ordinarally would not be of much impor- tance but we deem it as worthy of space and highly oredita- ble to Mr. Perrier from the fact that his uniform was the only clean and tidy one of the entire Frisco team. It would seem that if the San Fraocisco team couldn't afford a change of uniform (evidently they can't) they could at least occasion- ally have a change of hosiery. Their excuse for appearing game after game in dirty faded brick colored stockingB must necessarily be a very lame one as these articles are to be procured from all dealers at the nominal price of a few bits a pair. In the Sacramento-Stockton game (score 3 to 2) at Stock- ton last Sunday morning, the Senators went to bat but twenty-seven times, and but three of their men reached first base during the game. Two got the bag on hils and one on an error, but all three scored. In the third inning Beitz reached first on the shortstopa error and scored on Hoffman's home run drive. This tied the score, and in the seventh Stapleton's men won the game on Goodenough 's hit, whjoh Holliday failed to block, and then threw wild, the rnoner scoring. At one stage of the game the Stocktons had three men on bases with none out, and at another two on bases with one out, but in neither instance could they score. Three errors were made by each side, while the Stocktons had eight hits and Sacramento two. The battery for Stockton was Kilroy and Armstrong, and for Sacramento Hoffman and Bowman. "Misfortunes never come singly" quoted Manager Finn last Sunday afternoon. We will readily concede the Hon. Michael Angelo's license to make use of that time honored expression but we will say right here that we think be himself is almost entirely responsible for the lamentable state of affairs now existing in bis team. To release Sweeney his best bitter at the present stage of the game when all the other teams were being strengthened and playing winning ball thereby, seems li.tle short of lunacy. Of course every man knows his own business best but if Sweeney was transgressing the rol< the t^am wouldn't a good stiff fine have had the efl bringiog him to hts senses? To many it looks like a of Finn "cutting off hiB nose to spite his face." 58 3£Ite %xtttitx ami jlpxrrismaw. July 26 The Amateurs. Games Played by tbe California Amateur League. Tbe race for the pennant presents a different aspect this week, although the positions of tbe teams are still the same. The Reports are advancing steadily and enrely, while Santa Rosa is retrograding. The Fincks show a big improvement in their percentage of games won column, and the Vallejos are also making rapid strides onward. The Bnrlingtons and Vallejos Btill ornament the "bottom of the heap." There has been an error in oar averages of the Santa Rosa and Will & Finck teams since the issue of July 12th. "We were of the opinion that the game played between the above named teams on July A'.h was a postponed game, and so gave the Santa Rosas, who won, credit for it in the table It now transpires that such was not the case, it being merely an exhibition and as such does not count. We have recti- fied the error in this issue, which makes considerable change in the percentages. The appended table is now correct* being a full and complete list of g^mes won and lost. The Report — Santa Rosa game of the 13th inst., and won by the Reports beyond all question of doubt in our mind, is cred ited to that team. The record (to date). ? W SJ no 2 F, Delmas, 1 b.

The ''Marines" won this game just by an "eyebrow," and it is claimed that umpire Dick Murphy figured very conspicu- ously in the victory of the Vallejos. The contest was won and lost several times by both teams, and when Hughes came in with the winniDg, ran in the ninth inning, tbe excitement was intense. The "Sports" broaght up a strong team, and for the first inning had McGlade in tbe box. He was pitching tine ball when his arm suddenly fell to his Bide almost help- less, and requiring the attention of a physician. Phillpot then went in and pitohed out a good game. Parker's sup- port was first c^ass. Biltz was not as steady as usual, giving six bases on bulls, and having two wild pitches scored against him; he was touched np for ten hits. Gene Broderick played third for the visitors, and was given a rousing recep'ion. The fielding of both tea-ns was streaked, neither side having any particular advantage in this respect. Bnckley, McGuire and Hughes, distinguished themselves at the bat. The holding work of Lewis. Buckley, McCarthy, and tbe catching of Parker and Farrell, were also features. The Bcore; Broderick, 3b.

Deeney, of the "Young Giants" is quite a hitter. Vio Monet is pitching the finest quality of ball now. First baseman Kelly is a great favorite in Santa Rosa. Billy Noble is now catching for tho Easts of Oakland. Molntyre still continues to get in his two and three hits a game. The Young Giants have commenced to climb the hill again . Jack Ryan did not play with the Vallejos in the Allen — Vallejo game. Tom Maguire has given great satisfaction in captaining the "Marines." The "Railroaders" as a team are tbe smallest men in the amateor leagne. Leland, formerly of the Los Angeles team, is now playiDg right field for the Aliens. The batting honors are pretty evenly divided between Pace, Mclntyre and Sharp. It is conceded by almost every one that Tillson is the best short stop in the amatenr leagne. It is said the Aliens were robbed ont of their game at Vallejo Sunday by Umpire Mnrpby.l Billy Farrell, recently released by Sacramento, will here- after play second for the Young Giants. Gene Broderick has been signed by the Aliens and is play- ing a great game for them at the third corner. Fitzgerald of Oikland has been signed to play with Santa Rosa. He will alternate with Callen in the box. Scotty Evatt seems well placed at short field. On har.l hit ground balls be is particularly strong and his throwing late- ly has been very speedy and precise. John Thompson was way off in his fielding last Sanday, which is an exceptional thing with him as he is generally considered one of the surest men on ground bits on the coast. Dan Philpot is rapidly coming to the front as a twirler. Philpot has fine carves, considerable speed and a good head, and only lacks experience. With a few months practice in the amateur league, he will be counted along with the best of his class. For a live clever player, one who is "np to date" on all points of the game, that boy Sharp is a "cracker jack" of them all. As a fielder and thrower he stands at the head, and when he comes to the bat he can generally be counted on for a sure shot. According to an enthusiast, one who olaims to have no favorites, and who has particularly watched the work of tbe pitchers, Monet ranks foremost, Baltz Becond, Howell third, Callen fourth and Leveqne, Philpot, Williams, Walcott and Fitzgerald following. Bradley has developed into a rattling fine second baseman. He now playB that bag "out of sight" covering a large terri- tory and being remarkably qaick in touching a ranner. The part he played in two doubles last Sanday was excellent evi- dence of his surprising ability. Manager Warren has greatly strengthened tbe Young Giants and they are expected to make things warm for the leaders henceforth. Their winning the game with Santa Rosa Sunday places them safely above the 500 mark and has given the team great encouragement. It iB quite probable that after next Sunday the Santa Rosas will not visit this city again. They muoh prefer play- ing on their own groundB, before their own people and where the gate receipts are almost ten times the remuneration they receive here. We don't blame them. A player who would be a good one to sign is Shorty Maho- ny. Shorty can cover second or short field positions as cleverly as any of them, and is an exceptionally active and sore right fielder. He can also hold his end up well at the bat, and is a daring and suceessfol base runner. Besides, he is also considered a mascot, every team he has ever playtd with being particularly lacky. The past week has been one of accidents for the amateurs. Joe Leveque is unable to play, owing to a badly sprained ankle, and Russ Pace, of the Santa Rosas, had the thumb of his right hand maBhed last Sanday morning by the press of the Santa Rosa Democrat. Pete McGlade, who had jnat signed with the Aliens, also wrenched the cords of hia arm while pitching for that team at Vallejo 8unday. His injury U such as will probably cause his permanent retirement from the diamond. Manager Ashman is the happy daddy of a boanciog ten pound baby. Last Sunday while speaking over the event the writer asked, "Wei!, how is it?" meaning the baby. The genial manager, his face ridiant with smile*, triumph- antly shouted, "Safe at home." Ashman says that in a few years he won't be fighting protests because he is short of a player, as he expects to then have one of his own. As yet Ash- man Jr. can't do any back stopping, but he's already learnt the art of twirling his fingers in daddy's hair and mustache, and when he wants to, can pitch his voice so that he delivers a mighty hard b&vA.

Athletic Sports aod Other Pastimes. EDITED FT ABPHIPPOS, SUMMARY. With the, exception of the Olympic Club's 11th crosscoun- try run which was held at Sauaalito on Sunday last there is nothing of importance to ohroniole this week. The out door amateurs are keeping up practice witb the avowed intention of making good records at Sacramento, on September 17th. The wheelmen are praying for a little rain as the roads at the present time are oovered with dust. The erand old game of cricket appears to be gaining in the favor of the sport lovers and several good games are on the list to be decided in the near future. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. P. J. Sheedy, of the Alpine Club, has gone on a two years trip to Ireland. At the present time he U visiting his birth place, Rothkeele, Co. Limerick. During his sojourn in the Emerald Isle he will compete at some of the Irish athletic meetings under the colors of his club. Daring his recent visit to Willows, Young Cooley succeeded in winning an unlooked for prize, viz., the heart of the belle of that town. A speedy marriage is talked of. Many ugly rumors have lately been circulated in connec- tion with Little and Kendal, the professional ranners. Some weeks ago both men were involved in a "fake" race which took place at San Jose, Cal. It is claimed that e^en the most intimate friends of the contestants were "thrown" on the oc- casion. Principals, backers and '■suckers" have been en- gaged in a windy war ever since and daring the past week several hand to hand fights are reported as having taken place. It is hinted that more trouble may be anticipated be- tween the principals and their backers. W. H. Phelps of the Olympic Club is reported as having made some very fine time in sprint trials lately. Some of bis club mates think that he is a second edition of champion Sobifferstein. On September 9th there will be a race for old time runners at the Olympic Club games. Once more it is reported that Purcell and Schifferstein hive retired from the athletic world. It is safe to say, how- ever, that as long as there are any laurels to be won neither man will pat aside his running shoes. Good athletes as a general rule never retire as long as they hold the upper hand. Several members of the Olympic Club took part in a oross oountry raD from Jackson's cottage at Sausalito on Sunday last. The ron was over the old course to Lime Point fog whistle and return. Skillman, Scjtt, Cooley and Espinosa allowed their club mates a handicap of five minutes. The Boratchmen started at 11 o'clock after the other ranners were oat of sight over the hills. Before the turning point was reached most of the slow men were overtaken. Kortick and Foster were the first to reach Lime Point. Cooley and Christie got home first in forty-two minutes. Ten minutes later the main division headed by P. D. Skillman, Kortick and Espinosa ran in in the order named. Some of the novices made a gallant showing against the veterans. The ran was under the d rection of Captain George W. Jordan. The next run will probably be from a different place as the Sau- salito course is becoming Btale. The following athletes took part in the run; Cap'ain George W Jordan, P D Skillman, N Y A C, W A Scott, F L Cooley, J L Christie, G F Green. E M Frances, J B Cox, P M Wand, J C. Kortick, W M Phelps, Martin Espinosa, Douglas B. Crane, H H Egbert, Charley Jellenek, F F FoBter, W H Wood and W P Henry, W F Boaton acted as starter. The Alameda Olympic Club will shortly hold another cross oountry run when members of the Olympic, Alpine and Lurline Clabs will be invited to participate. The cricket clubs are looking for new grounds. There are now half a dozen clubs in existence and as the game is bound to become popnlar on the Pacific Coast the cricketers are trying to secure good practicing grounds across the bay. If proper arrangements can be made the Fair Baseball Grounds at Alameda will probably be secured. At the beginning of the present year athletics were boom- ing and it seemed an assured fact that out door sports were about to become popular once more on the Pacific Coast. Never since the time when Belcher, Hawks, Haley, Molntyre and other old timers were in their prime did tne prospect of a grand revival look more bright, but alas! the boom waB of short duration. It was expected when the Alpine Club was started that the promise of such startling rivalry would ex- cite public interest which would continue throughout the year but the issue of the championship meeting brought mat- ters to a crisis. It is true that the quality of the sporU at the championship meeting was first cIssb but then the public always likes to witness club competitions. The late ohani- pionship meeting was of a too one sided nature to enlist real attention from the spectators and many who attended expect- ing to see a close fight for the pennant went away sadly dis- appointed. Had the Alpine Club not been in existence it is probable that the attendance would have been painfully small for it was to witness the battle between this club and tbe Olympic that many hundreds of persons paid their half dollar at the gate. Now that the question is finally settled and victory once more sits high in Olympian Hall to stay there may be for ever, the public mind is at rest and the Olympic Club will have to rely solely on its own friends for lnture support. As an instance, when the O A C announced a meeting for Jaly 4th the public did not expect any great competitions and bo it remained away. The University Athletic Club is not a staying institution. It entersits men only at ch&mpiooBhip meetings or when it holds its own field days. It hardly encourages athletics bb well as it should. The Olympic and Alpine Cluba are different; they always plan to advance oat-door sports and tbe athletic meetings which these two clubs hold every once in a while should be well patronized by the public in whose interest the amateur athleteB are constantly working and for whose amusement they undergo a strict course of training month after month. AT THE OARS. The ball given at the Park Opera House, Alameda, on Sat urday evening last by the Alameda Swimming and Boating Club was well attended. The net receipts will am Hint to over $200. There are now seventy-five members in the clob and as the population of Alameda is daily increasing this young club before long is bound to become one of the lead- ing boating organizations on the Pacific Coast. Several crews were noticed on the bay on Sanday. The boys seem determined to keep up training and the contests which will be held under the auspices of the N. 8. G. W, promise to be well patronized. The next meeting of the Pacific Rowing Association will be held at Irish American Hall on Monday evening, August 4th, at 8 o'clock. It is thought that the Alameda, South End and Union Club (of Stockton) will join the association at the next meeting. The South End Club recently initiated thirty new mem- bers and the prospects for a still larger increase in member- ship are bright. The Ariel's amateur crew are anxious to beoome profes- sionals. They have twice won the club's cup and should they be fortunate enough to win it again it will remain in their possession for good. Then they will probably desert tbe amateur ranks. The Lurline Club will have a chowder party at Angel Is- land to morrow. Charles Artigues and Samuel Solomon will row a shtll race for the championship of the Triton Olub some Sunday in September. Henry Tank, of Alameda, ia thinking about joining the Alameda Boat Club. He is a fioe oarsman and would prove a very valuable acquisition to the new organization. The Alameda oarBmen in conjunction with some of the local men will make an effort next year to have a boat house built by the C. P. Co. in the vicinity of the mole. The Ariel Club will hold a high jinks at the club house, Long Bridge, on the first Sanday in August. CLUB JOTTINGS. There is but little activity in club circles across the bay. The Reliance, Acme and Alameda Olympic clubs have no intention of giving any entertainments for the present. The late boxing rumpus has bad much to do with this quietude and the members are confident that after the storm blows over an increased activity will be shown by all the amateur clubs. A match game of cricket between the first elevens of Ala- meda and Burnaby clubs will be played on the grounds of the Alameda Cricket Club to-morrow. The game will begin at noon. THE WHEEL. The Bay City Wheelmen have not as yet been able to Be- cure a suitable lot upon which to build their new clab house The number of wheelmen are increasing in Alameda and Oakland and it is probable that there will be a boom in. cy- cling across the bay before long. The road race is still engaging all the attention of the wheelmen and speculation is rife as to who will win first place. It is not actually necessary to train very fine for a long road race and it is expected that many of the retired wheelmen will make their re-appearance on this occasion. IN THE SURF. Another accident occurred at the Terrace Baths, Alameda, on Sunday. A young man was standing on the top of the high diving ladder preparatory to jumping into the water be- low when be suddenly lost his balance and fell headlong on to the platform beneath, a distance of about thirty-five feet. He was badly shaken up and it was a miracle that he did not break his neck. The warm weather continues and the bathers still enjoy themselves in the brniy deep. Sanday was unusually warm across the bay and the Terrace bath house was fairly thronged all day. Basiness was quiet, however, the follow- ing days. There was only a moderate attendance at tbe Shelter Cove Baths. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. I met A. Cooke, of the Alpine Clab, a few days ago and that gentleman informed me that he was getting up a team of cricketers that would stand a show against any team on the coast. He also said that his club would shortly place a fine football team in the field. The amateurs appear to be highly pleased at the idea of an athletic meeting being held at Sacramento. Some of the old timers who are tired appearing before Sao Francisco audi- ences will shake the rust off their shoulders and take a trip up to the Capitol in order to afford the country folks a chance to see them run or jump aa the case may be. I heard a good many of the athletes growl because all the running events on tbe State Fair programme are not handi- cap, Half a dozen men to my knowledge would enter the half mile run if it was a handicap race, bat as it ia probably two or three will have that event to themselves. If Skillman is here at the time he will have an easy win with Soott and Sutro to battle for second prizes. I hope there will be three or four good judges of walking as the track is as large as the Bay District. The last time there waB a walking race at the latter place there waa a big kick and I hope this time there will be no room for kicking as some of the coast records are liable to go under again. I understand that the members of the Saoramento Athletic Club will tender a reception to the visiting athletes on the 17th of September. I am inolined to believe that twenty or thirty of the boys from this city will take the trip np. All the best runners, jumpers and walkers of the Olympio and Alpine clabs are in training and some excellent competitions will be witnessed. Last Sunday morning I took a walk out to the Olympio grounds and the track was entirely deserted. Peter Moln- tyre informed me that the boys were all across the bay en- joying a orosB country run. I had quite a talk with Little, the runner, lately and that worthy gave me some information which certainly opened my eyes Speaking of Skillman be said "why, I'm no more of a professional than he ia, and if be thinks be can beat me at any distanoe I will give him a chance to make a couple of hundred. Its all bosh about a man wanting to remain an amateur when he can make a oool five hundred or bo in a single day, whereas all tbe medals a man could win in a life time when melted down would not net half that amount." Now that the picnic season is about over I suppose that P C A A A (that is if it ever meets again) will be kept busy in- vestigating the numerouB applications for reinstatement that are bound to flock in. A good many of the picnic runners will get left this time for tbe association is bound to enforce inlaws in future. Rambler. JOTTINGS FROM ALL OVER. The four-mile race for the amateur championship of Ire- land took place at the Balls Bridge Grounds, Dublin, on Jane 28. J. J. Mullen of Armagh won in 21 mm 9 2 5 sec. J B MoCase, Cavao, was second, by two hundred yards. These were the only Btartera out of a large field that hinished, The American sculler C.G. Psotta, started against G. E B Kennedy in a trial heat of tbe race for the Diamond Sculls at the Henley-on-Thames Regatta, Eog., July 8. After rowing a few strokes Kennedy caught a crab, and over- turned his boat, but Psotta, instead of rowing over alone and taking the heat, returned to the starting point and in- formed the officials that he would give Kennedy another chance. Upon starting Again, the American pulled to the front at once, but after going half a mile his antagonist over- took him, assumed the lead, and won the heat by eight lengths. The winner was heartily cheered, but the sports- manlike action of Psotta in refusing 10 take advantage of Kennedy's mishap gained him a lot of friends and he was heartily cheered *1bo. The final heat was won by Guy Nicholls. The following amateurs have been disqualified by the Ex- ecutive Committee of the Canadian Association of Amateur Oarsman until they disprove certain charges against tbem: Delaney and Robertson, Don Amateur Club, Toronto; Gray, of the Bayeide Club, Toronto; J. Lovell, Dennis Donahue and Jerry Donahue, of the Nautilus Club, Hamilton. The committee passed a resolution declaring that oarsmen who associate with men who attend regattas only for the purpose of betting are liable to be disqualified The Warren Athletic Club of Wilmington, Delaware held their annual Summer games on Saturday afternoon, July 12. The entries included many prominent athletes, members of clubB in other cities, the weather was fine, and the attend- ance numbered above a thousand.

The Board of Managers of the Amateur Athletic Union held a meet ng at Washington, D. C, on Saturday night, July 12, at which the following athleteB were reinstated: Hugh Farren, Boston; Thomas D. Phillips, N. Y. City; F. Bchol- flin, Neward, N. Y. and W. Gaffney. Gloucester, Mass. The lollowing clubs were admitted to membership: Louisville Athletic Club, Louisville, Ky.; Waucbuselta Boat Club, Boston, and the St. Andrews Society, Detroit, Mich. It was proposed to alter tbe date of the national championship field meeting to October llth, and if the Manhattan Athletic Club will give up the date, which is that fixed for their Fall games, it will be done. The case of Pat Cahill was not settled, it being decided to request the New York Athletic Club to use its influence to induce Benny Williams to tell all he knows that may have a bearing on the case. In the interest of the purity of amateur athletics Mr. Williams should do this without being importuned by any one. The committee appointed to investigate the charges against M. W.

There was a big and enthusiastic crowd of old friends and admirers at 1 he steamer's dook to see them off and wish tbem good luck and a glorious time abroad. W. C. Downes, of Harvard College and the New York Athletic Club, on Wednesday afternoon, July 9th, made a successful attempt to lower Wendell Baker's record for run- ning a quarter mile, 47£a. The attempt was made on the straight of the Beacon Park, Boston, Mass , where Baker had made his unequalled time of 1886, and the trial was snper- viBed by competent officials and witnessed by a number of person, notice of the attempt having been previously given. Downes was fortunate in having very favorable weather, «nd ran on a specially prepared track. He ran 400 yds in 45s,, and 440 yds in 47 2-5s.. thus lowering the record at each distance. The timers Btationed at the 400yda mark were Eugene Buckley and F. N. Woods, of the Boston Athletic Association and JohD Graham, the Harvard College trainer. Those at the finish — Eugene Merrill.

The Detroit management are progressing, and among; tho events of their great race meeting that began on Tuesday were several races of mile heats, two in three, a welcome change from the stereotyped three in five con- tests that have won out so many audiences of would be pleasure seekers, and killed so many good horses. Those who wiBh to see many two in three races established claim that the present system is a relic of barbarism, that it is peculiarly adapted to the requirements of jobbery, inflicts cruelty on horses that deserve better treatment, wears out all non-professional spectators, and above all other objections is the fact that the best horse, and the owner who makes a square fight for honorable victory can be combined against and beaten. One horse uses the first f aw heats for a preliminary warming up, merely dropping inside the flag, while the rest are doing their level best to win the race; then when those who have done all the fighting are tired, the horse who has had an easy time in the background wins the last heats of the long drawn out contest, and is straight way called a game race horse. True gameness can be much more satisfactorily proved by contests that require every animal to fight from the word go. Too much warming up is done at the expense of public time and temper. Horses should be sent to the poBt ready for a genuine scrimmage, and in a two in three race they would have to get to the front immedi- ately or not at all. More races could be trotted in a day, and horses would last longer, giving us much more material with which to furnish popular sport. Trotting has not the hold on popular favor that it ought to have. Our meetings must have more interest- ing features — and kill fewer horses. The First of August. The first day of the coming month has always been a very eventful one in the trotting history of this State ever since a circuit was first formed, for on that day the larger portion of all purses closes for the coming meet ings. This year there are more than ever, as several of the Associations have advanced their times of meeting and consequently will close the entry list at the same time this year that the majority of the other organiza- tions do. While it is usually claimed by the Eastern Sporting journals that racing in California extends from 'he first of January to the 31st of December, as a matter of fact there is hardly a State in the Union east of the Rocky Mountains but what has more continuous racing than is held here in this State. From present indications, and from the number of horses that we know of that are in training at present, there is every reason to confidently expect that a larger number of entries will be made this year for our local circuits than ever before. First and foremost comes the meeting at Los Angeles for which quite a number of horses are entered from the central portion of the State, notwithstanding the long distance which will be required to be traveled to arrive at their destination. The meeting at the Angel City ex- tends from August 4th to 9th inclusive, and is followed in the next week by San Jose, which has claimed from August 11th to 16th. Following the Garden City in regular order, comes Napa, Petaluma and Oakland, all of which present to the public, programmes superior to any ever offered before, and as over $50,000 will be divided at the last four places mentioned, those who at- tend to see good sport will undoubtedly be satisfied. At Glenbrook Park the 17th Agricultural District Fair will be held commencing August 19th and continuing for five days. This will be the sixth annual repetition of the event, and as in the past the meetings have always been highly successful, it is only fair to assume that this year will be no exception to the rule. "We learn from the Secretary that the track is now in first class condit- ion, and the association, relying on the promises made by prominent horsemen, are convinced that they will have a veiy large list of entries for their various events. The four northern towns of "Willows, Red BlufF, Chico and Marysville have associated together and formed the Northern California Circuit, and in the four weeks of the racing Beason there, $18,000 will be hung up in purses. As there are so many first class horses in training this year, we cannot but consider that those northern points will receive the support of the horsemen who feel that they cannot take advantage of the large purses of- fered by the more wealthy associations, and will try to pick the plums so generously offered by the northern societies. "We have reason to know that the tracks at all the four points are in excellent condition, and that the racing will be of the beBt goes without saying, and as there are gentlemen connected with each of the asso- ciations who have had many years' experience in racing matters, everything will be done that is possible to con- duce to the comfort of those who patronize these four meetings. As is only natural to suppose, a great many of the trotters, runners and pacers that will be scattered over the State while these many meetings are going on, will all center at Sacramento for the Annual State Fair( which commences on September 8th and extends to the 20th. DuriDg the two weeks, nine days' racing will be given, and the programme is of such a character that it must commend itself to all who have horses to enter. Lack of space prevents the enumeration of all the events which are advertised to be trotted at the various places we have mentioned, but now that attention has been called to the matter, horsemen will undoubtedly go carefully over our advertising columns to see where it is to their best interests to enter at. Following closely after the Fresno Fair, the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association will hold their second annual meeting at a point to be hereafter designated, and in addition to the many stakes which have already been closed, they ask this week for entries to a Free-for-all Trotting Purse of $1,500. Another purse of like amount iB also offered for the 2:20 trotting class, while $1,000 is bung up for the 2:40 performers. lit addition to these three purses there is also $1,200 of- fered for the Free-for-all Pacers, and $800 is offered for the 2:30 pacing class. Entries to all of these will close on the first of August. The Portland (Oregon) Speed Association have also entered the lists and advertise for entries to their fall meeting, which will commence on September 9th and continue to the 13th. A ''bill of fare" is put before the public tbat has never been equalled in our sister State, and over $12,000 is offered to those that will take part in the sport. The only difference between the Associa- tions in California and that of Oregon is that the trot- ting and pacing races close in Oregon on August first, while the running eventB do not cloBe until September let 1st Remember that entries close for many purses and stakes at the following places on August 1st: San Jose, Willows, Napa, Red BlufF, Glenbrook Park, Peta- luma, Chico, Oakland, Marysville, Sacramento, Stockton, and Port- land, Or. What Makes the Sportsman? Several well meaning and respected readers of this paper, who live at a distance from centers of population do not Beem tourderstand the attitude of the Breeder and Sportsman with reference to what is styled the "Sportsmen's Protective Association of California." Those who have read the paper since its initial number or for any length of time must know that it has throughout its career been unhesitating and unreserved in its advocacy of all schemes and measures, making for the elevation of sport, its generalization or the refine- ment of any of the appliances used in it. It will also be recalled that the California State Sportsman's Asso- ciation has invariably presented its annual statements and reports through these columns and has received the active support of this journal. "Why we withhold coun- tenance from the "Sportsmen's Protective Association of California" can only be explained at greater length than our space at present permits, but a few intimations may be offered. "We are not of those who deem it necessary that a man to be a sportsman should possess a gun of high value or of^any value; a dog of unexceptionable breeding or of any breeding; a rod worth ten cents, thirty dollars or any rod at all. "We have never held it essential to entrance among sportsmen that the appli- cant should have an income at any fixed figure or that he should be affiliated in ordinary business pursuits with men of any trade or profession especially. "We hold it to be non-essential what one shall wear, whether dear and far-fetched or home spun and homely, or whether he goes afield, equipped conveniently or in most awkward plight. None of these things move us. We do deem it essential, however, that the sportsman shall practice his art only at certain and proper seasons, such as are prescribed by nature and by the law of the land. That he shall exercise his privileges in manly fashion, not, for instance, for the sake of the bag, shooting into the thick of a bunch of quails on the ground, sending off more maimed birds to die lingering deaths than he retrieves, but taking them fairly as they fly, singles or pairs. We insist that in his excursions, he shall scrupulously regard the rights of his fellow men, in res- pect to their physical well being, the possession of their fish and game, and the sacredness of their premises. It would be absurd to demand that all sportsmen should be alike courteous and polished, nor is it necessary so long as they are true men, self-respecting, and holding others in respect. When we find men who slaughter indiscrim- inately in and out of season when beyond fear of detec tion; whose only restraint is the fine likely to be imposed by the law; whose abstinence from trespass is due only to fear of land owners; whose general conduct is Buch a6 to stamp them as willing to override law, ethics, and propriety, then we refuse to accord to them the title of sportsman, let them claim it never so loudly or try to enforce recognition by means never so demagogic. As we understand the matter the Sportsmen's Pro. tective Association of California, undoubtedly containing some sportsmen under the most rigid definition, is yet as a whole banded for the purpose of overturning, limit- ing or abolishing rights and privileges which oitizens and property owners have enjoyed since time immemo- rial. We believe the Proteciiv6 Association so called as a body, in practice, does anything but protect game or fish. We believe that if the wishes of the majority of its members could be followed, they would be permitted to go when they pleased, where they pleased and for such purposes as they pleased with an eye single to their own gratification and without regard for rights inher- ing iu any other men. If we are wrong in our belief ' and the fact can be made to appear, none who know the Breeder and Sportsman will doubt its willingness to be set right and we offer space for any temperate and considerate discussion of the matter. 1890 flte gmfor and gvavtsmstn. 61 The National Trotting Association Rules- We have lately received from the Secretary of the Na- tional Trotting Association a quantity of their new rules revised up to date, including the last meeting of the members which was held in February last. As many of the Associations in this State belong to the National body, the Secretaries should send to us for them imme- diately. As there are a large number of changes made from the old rules, it is absolutely necessary for all the officials of the different Associations who are guided by the National rules to secure the new ones which have just been issued. "We will mail them to any one on re- ceipt of 30 cents. The Stockton Fair. As will be seen by reference to the advertising col- umns, the Directors of the Stockton Fair this week pre- sent their programme to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman. Five day's racing will be given, com~ mencing on Tues lay, September 2Jd. Huuning, trotting and pacing all stand an equal chance, as there is about an equal division made in the programme. As will be seen by referring to the advertisement, there are a number of the races which close on the first of August, while there are two others for the thorough- breds that do not close until September 1st. The 2:22 and 2:27 Classes. Sometime ago the P. C, T. H. B. A. advertised for entries for the 2:22 and 2:27 classes of trotters, both of which purses filled. In these, payments are made on the installment plan, and it would be well for all those who have entries in either of these purses to remember that the third payments are due on August 1st. The conditions of both of these purses are such that if a party having a nomination fails to make the payment when due, he forfeits all money previously paid in. The Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake. For the last time we call the attention of all parties who made entries in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake, that a second payment of £10 on each nomination is due on the first day of August. From the large number of entries that were received, there caa be no doubt but what this stake will be far ahead, from a financial point of view, of any that has ever taken place in California. Remember second payments are due in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake on next Friday, August 1st. Our Los Angeles Letter. Everything is running smoothly for the opening meeting of the grand circuit, and jadging by the interest evinced the attendance promises to eclipse the most sanguine expectations of the Directors. The Secretary is booming the opening day, an especially strong card haviDg been arranged for that day. Usually the crowds in Los Angeles do not turn out until the latter part of the week, but it is intended to stir up the people of Southern California early in the contest this year. The traok now presents a lively appearance every morning, and hundreds watch the horses work out. The following weights were announced on Tuesday for the two big handicaps. Nadeau Hotel Handicap, one and one-fourth miles — Daisy D 119, Brutus 118, Abi 117, Moses B 116, Odette 111, Naicho B 110, Index 109, Four Aces 105, Gladiator 104, Marigold 102, Captain Al 101, and Larghetta 101. Southern California Handicap, three-fourths of a mile — Daisy D 121, Abi 118, Brutus 116, Kildare 111, Applause 111* Odette 110, Apache 110, Ona 107, Dan Murphy 105, Mari- gold 107, King David 105, Carmen 107, Gladiator 102, Comet 100, Johnny F 100, Installation 100, Cordova 95 and Sir Ladd 95. "Word reaches here that the grand old Shiloh died last week at the ranch of Jim Madison at Julian. Shiloh sired such well known performers as John Treat, Mikado and Odette, and with the proper opportunities would have made a name for himself second to none in the State of California. At the death of Mr. Treat Mr. '.Madison purchased Shiloh for a mere song. He was born on the day the battle of Shi- loh was fought. quarter stretch gossip, At a meeting of the Directors of the Sixth District Agri- cultural Association on Monday evening, it was decided to hold the annual Fair between the 14th to 19th inclusive. Quite a number of the local horse owners purpose taking in the Northern Circuit. The Breeder and Sportsman has made many friends in Southern California by giving such good notices about the coming meeting, Spotta, a colored driver from Kentucky, will be seen be- hind the sulky in several races at the coming meeting. He is training Dick Richmond for the 2:30 trot. McLelland, who formerly trained for the Sauta Aoita sta* ble, is living quietly io the San Gabriel Valley. The Hon. H. M. LaRue has been invited to be the presid- ing judge at the opening meeting of the grand circuit. Jim Leach has arrived at the track from Coronado. The son of Inca ia reported to have improvad wonderfully under the handling of Traynor. Leach is now owned by Wyalt Earp. The candidates for 2:30 honors are all doing splendidly. Dick Richmond cut one of his legs, but he is all right agaio. Interest is already running high ou the chanoes of the Der- by candidates. Raindrop, Captain Al, Larghetta, Marigold and Gold Dust are entered, and the race promises to be a hot one from the fall of the flag. Clara T, the KingOsher filly, is ailiDg, and will in all proba. bility not face the starter at Los Angeles. The Btarters in the 2:30 trot on the opening day are: Lucy R, Glendine, Dick Richmond, Barbora and Jim Leaoh. Owing to the inexcusable blunder of a Post Office employe the letter containing the entry of Applause for the Southern California handicap did not Teach the Secretary until a week after it had been received at the Post Office. There are just eighteen entered in that Toboggan Slide event, and it prom- ises to be the sensational betting race of the meeting. Dagworth. Names Claimed. Messrs.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean has the following to say about the runners in the Undine Stable: The Undine stable, consisting of the mighty miler Racine, Rinfas and Homer, the first and second in the Friendly stakes, and Glenlivet go to Monmouth Park to-night, and Narvice, the jockey, goes with it. Unfortunately Racine is in only one stake race in the EaBt, and that is the "Protec- tory" stakes at the fall meeting of the New York Jockey Club. Burlington, Torso, Tournament and other good ones are in it, but as they will have to carry penalties as Btake winners and Racine will have none, and as in addition the distance is one mile, he should, if he keep3 well, win it. The stable has had fair success at Washington Park, considering that it only has four horses. Three of them are what is termed "out of sight," and Glenlivet will probably be heard from later. Homer, the colt, who ran second to Rinfas in the Friendly stakes, does not strictly belong to the Undine stables, the proprietors of which are Messrs. Thomas WilliamB and Ira L. Ramsdell, but to the last named gentleman alone. Mr. Ramsdell bought Homer when he was three days old, for $1,000, and wanted Williams to stand in with him, but that gentleman declined, consequently Mr. Ramsdell bought him for himself. Homer is a full brother to Garland, who broke down at Washington Park in the Oakwood handicap in 1885, when it was won by Spalding, the mile and an eighth being run in 1:53}, and the then record broken. Garland was fired by Dr. Shephard, but died. He ran a remarkable race in the handicap, and Mr. Ramsdell told Mr. Welch that if he bred another Garland he would buy him. Homer's dam died shortly after his birth, and he was suckled by another mare. There is no doubt that when the Undine stable reached Wash- ington Park they intended to win the Friendly stakes with Homer. The colt, in ccming 'here, however, ran a nail in to his foot and became lame. It was then that Mr. Ramsdell made up his mind to buy Rinfas, and he telegraphed to Mr. Williams, who was in California, to do so. At first that gen- tleman did not want to stand in with the deal, but he after- ward concluded to do so, and is consequently well pleased to-day. The fact of Homer not belonging to both partners in the stable, and Rinfas being a thorough stable colt accounts for Narvice riding the latter. After Rinfax bad won his race oo Thursday Mr. Williams said: "Which colt is Narvice go- ing to ride in the Friendly Btakes? I suppose as be is the stable jockev, he will ride the stable colt." Mr. Ramsdell had not thought of this, but seeing the propriety of the reasoning did not object, and secured the services of Winch- ell, who, by the way, has aerered bis connection with the Winter's stable. Ten days ago Homer could hardly put bin foot to she ground, and it was feared be wonld not be able to start, but he improved rapidly, and is now none the worpe for hiB mishap, and neither Rinfax or he are feeling any ill- effects from their gallop in the mud. The doing* of Racine, Rinfas and Homer in the East will be watched with interest VETERINAEY. Conducted by Wm. F. Fgan, M. B. C. V. S., F. E. V. M 8.

What shall I do for him'? Answer.— Yunr horse has most probably got an attack of pneumonia, and yon should call in a competent veterinary Burgeon immediately to examine him. In the meantime pn't him in a comfortable box stall, it it is coDveoient to do so. Put a thick woolen blanket on him and woolen bandages on hiB legs. Give him nothing to eat but a small soft" bran mash or a little flaxseed tea, and a carrot or two; and take the chill off his drinking water. You may have Io blister his ohest, but it is impossible to give you the full line of treatment without seeing him and examining his lung* tem- perature, pulse etc. J. C. My business mare picked up a nail tbis morning and is very lame from it. What is best to do for it? Answer — Get the hole pared out so as to give exit to the matter which may accumnlate there, and poultice it daily with bran or flaxseed. When the matter has ceased to ap- pear on the poultice get a shoe on the foot, with a leather sole, and tar and oakum. L. C. W. I would like some advice through the "Veterinary Col- umn" of the Bbeedeb axd Sfobtssian, regarding my mare's leg. She is four years old, standard bred, and very promis- ing; consequently, I am anxious sbout her. Some two weeks ago, on returning from a drive ou the road, I noticed she had a swelling on the inside of her fore leg, just below the knee, on the edge and a little hack of the "cannon bone " There was also a slight swelling on the outside of the leg along the main sinew. I bathed the leg in cold water and afterwards applied Kendal's Spavin cure, have continued this treatment ever since. The swelling has all disappeared ex- cept on the inside of the leg below the knee, although this has been reduced. One man who examined it said it looked something like a splint. Another declared it was not be- cause the lrg was too clean. My mare is not lame at all, nor has she been at any time, and this swelling seems to give under the pressure of the fingers. The mare stands firmly and well balanced on her legs, and a day or bo ago Bhe got out of the stable and raced around like "wild" for lome time belore I eonld catch her. It did not seem to effect her lee any. Please give me some advice as to what is best to do and oblige. Answer.— Your mare has probably hit the inside of her leg with her other fore foot. This is a thing that frequently occurs in fast driving. I should advise jou to apply cold water from the hose to the part for ten or fifteen minutes, morning and evening, and after each application rub it dry with a coarse cloth and afterwards with your hand for sev- eral minutes. The reaction caused by friction after the cold application is very beneficial and often removes buch swell- ings without the aid of a blister. If this treatment is not ef- fectual at the end of a week, blister her with beniodide of mercury blister, one part beniodide of mercury to eight parts lard. Do not drive her until the swelling has dis- appeared. Answers to Correspondents.

Hickok started Alfred S. for the first time this year in the 2:18 class at Detroit, and won in the clever time of 2;1S1 and 2:19J. Can any of our readers send in to this office a history of Vick's Ethan Allen from the time he came to this State until bis death? Some of the Eastern Sporting j inrnals make mention that John Mackey has gone to Earope for the purpose of pur- chasing a Hermit stallion. It would be well for all who are interested in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake to remember that on August 1st the second payment of S10 each ib due on the nomina- tions. Wyatt Eirp of San Diego has thiee horses in training un- der the mentnrship of Frank Treanor, who are all promising fairly well. I learn that theBe horses will all be entered throughout the circuit. "Lil" Boggs of Lake County paid Pleasanton a visit on Saturday last to set? his horse Keepsake worked out. The trial was eminently satisfactory, and the race goers may ex- pect another sensation in store for them. Letters for the following geotlemen are in the Breeder and Sportsman Postoffice box: Wm. Hogoboom, Geo. W. Stout, M. D., at. W. Hodskius and Martin Murphy. If the ownera will send for them they will be forwarded. A six year old Electioneer Stallion is offered for sale by Mr. Thornquest of Oakland in this issue. The horse is warranted sound in every particular, and should be eagerly sought after by those that are now looking for that celebrated blood. Prince Warwick, the Alcona representative that Hickok has in his stable, was third to Suisna ic the foarth heat of the 2:24 trottiDg class at Detroit. This young horse is a rare good one, aDd I fully expect to hear of him beating 2:20 before the season closes. The Fresno programme will not close this year until after the Oakland meeting, as Mr. Baldwin, the efficient manager, has decided that it will be far preferable to re-class the horses than have them go through the entire circuit in the same classes in which they start. On Wednesday next a carload of running horses will leave Sacramento to take part in the meeting at Los Angeles which begins August 4th. The carload will represent the stable3 of Col. Harry I. Thornton, Chas. Kerr of Bakersfield, and Matt. Storn of Sacramento. Col. Irvin A}rers informs me that Fanny Fern has had a handsome 611y by Mambrino Willies, and that the mare is giving milk in abandonee. This is extremely fortunate, for her last two fillies had to be brought up by hand owing to her not being able to suckle her foals. Matt. Dwyer, formerly of the Palo Alto Stock Farm, but now training a public stable at Fresno, has taken charge of Junio 2:22 and will try to lower his record this season. In the same Btable and acting very cleverly is Fresoo, a bay gelding owned by F. P. Wiokersham. The respective owners of the converted pacer Silky and the trotting mare Minnie K. are devoting considerable time in talking up the merits of their respective animals. Ac- cording to t tie Petaluma Argus, a match race may be ex- pected between the pair for $1,000 a side. The Directors of the San Joaquin Association have declared off the 2:25 trotting guaranteed purse, which was to have closed on July 15th, there not being entries enough to warrant them in going on with it. They will probably give a purse of like amount for some other class of horses. If there are any of our readers who care about leasiDg 325 acres of good farming land, an opportunity to do so will be found in our advertising columns this week. The ranch is sitoated one and one-half miles from Napa City, and for farming, alfalfa and fruit l»T»d funnnt be beaten anywhere. Mr. Chas. Reed lost by ueain lately the Hermit stallion, Mr. Piokwiok, aDd to replace him in the stud has bought from Wm. Lakeland the well known horse Exile, paying for him $15,000. He has al-o purchased from David Gideon the uoheaten French Park by King Ban, for which he paid $10,000. E. B. Gifford has Atto Rex in training at the Lob Angeles track. For a time it was supposed that he would hardly be able to stand to his work on account of a leg; however, he is moving nicely and gives every indication of having speed enough to hold his own against the horseB that he will meet in his own class. In a conversation with Henry Welsh a few days ago, he informed me that he has eight horseB in training for the coming campaign; among the number being Peel and Flam- beau. The latter will undoubtedly be started as a Falo Alto representative in many of the stakes and purses which will be run off this fall. Mr. Wallace announces that volume 9 of the Register will close September 1. Persons having pedigrees that they wish to have registered in this volume should forward them with- out delay. There will be a rush about the time the volume closeB, and pedigrees arriving late will, in all probability' have to go over to volume X. C. C. Tbomqnest, who is located with his racing stable at the Oakland race track, calls the attention of our readers to the fact that be has the five-year-old pacing mare Alameda Lilly, record 2:39, for sale aDd that he will take a reasonable price for her. She is by Washington 2:21, dam by General Taylor, and can easily show a 2:20 gait at present. Wesley P. Balch offers $10,000 for a free for-all stallion race, with four moneyB. entries to close August 16, with entrance fee ten per cent, due on the day of the race, which is set for September 17. This will undoubtedly bring together a great field of trotting Btallions, for be has promises of Axtell and Palo Alto, while at least a dozen others will be on hand. Capt. Brush of Stockton recently purchased from S. Cady a Nephew colt, which by many is supposed to be one of the speediest youngsters ever bred in San Joaquin County. With no preliminary handling be was turned" loose for a quarter of a mile one day last week and completed Ihe dis- tance in 39 seconds. With the a6sistanoe of a good baudler this colt should very readily pass into the 30 list. Jno. A. Goldsmith of the San Mateo Stock Farm has pur- chased from W. Z. Price of San Mateo, a two-year-old bay filly by Gay Wilkes, dam San Mateo Belle by Speculation. The price given for the filly was $2000. She is an extremely good individual and bred as she is, should make a fast trot- ter under the carefal handling of Mr. Goldsmith. The Breeder and Sportsman is under obligations to Capt. T. B. Merry for several handsome pictures of Australian race horses. Among the number are counterfeit presentments of the great runner Melos, aDd the equally well known Arsena'. As elegant additions to our picture gallery they are highly appreciated, and no doubt will be much admired by the many visitors to this office. For some time Mr. A. T. Hatch has been looking about for the purpose of securing a farm suitable for starting a breeding establishment on a large scale. I am pleased to announce tbat he has lately secured 4,400 acres in Tehama County, over 1,000 acres of which is good rich valley land, and extremely suitab'e for the purpose required. Mr. Hatch will make many improvements and alterations before sending his stock up there. A week ago last Sunday the race loving people of Turlock bad the pleasure of seeing two running races, one of 600 yards and the other a half mile. For the first event there were three entries, Harry Stean's Ginger Ale. E. Ducker's Minnie and Mr. Clifford's Diamond. Ginger Ale proved the victor Id 42 ', seconds. The half mile running race was also won by the same horBe, Modesto Fox being second. The Greeks were the first to establish trotting races. Pan- sanius, in bis "Description of Greece" (Volume I., page 317), shows that the Greeks did this at their celebrated Olympian g*mes as early as the seventy-Urst Olympian, ooutinuing them to the eighty-fourth — 440 to 492 — a period of fifty two years. Paucanius flourished 174 years after Christ, traveled throughout GreecB and wrote a minute account of all he saw. It would seem as though the California horses this year are going to do more for the reputation of the State than has ever been done before. On Friday last a telegram was re- ceived from Saginaw Mich., stating that Crioket had won the 2:20 race in three straight heats.: the best time being 2: 17 J, Margaret S. started in the 2:18 class and won; her best time being 2:17§, reducing her record a second and three-quarters. The meeting at Detroit this week has been closely watched by Californians, as a number of representative horses have been named on the cards aB starters. It is a pity that we go to press so early on Friday morning, as a synopsis of the Margaret S. race would be interesting to our readers, but we can only hope that she will win it and bring additional credit to our State. The latest accounts are that the SaliB- busy mare won the first heat in 2:18, and Allerton won the second in 2:16£. On ToeBday afternoon the good news waB telegraphed from Detroit that Cricket had won another pacing race; this time reducing her record to 2:144;, winning not only first money but sIbo S500 in addition, which was offered bv the Association for any pacer in that class that would beat 2:15. Cricket has stamped herself a good mare since ber arrival in the East, and Mr. Salisbury has every right to feel proud of her racing abilities, notwithstanding the fact that he does not own her. The Oakland Driving Association has evidently come to stay, if the crowds that assemble at tbe Oakland Park each week is any criterion to go by. They have now a member- ship of over 150, and the secretary informs me that there is hardly a week bat what from ten to twenty new members are proposed. These associations tends greatly to enhance the interest in the trotting and pacing division, and there are many other cities and towns in tL's State that might imitate the example so well set by these Oakland gentlemen. The Merchant and Manufacturer's Stake of $10 000 was trotted for at Detroit on Wednesday and Thursday last, the winner turning up in Walter E . who won the second, fifth ani seventh heats iD 2: ISA-. 2:20 and 2:23$. Walter E. is a bay gelding by Patehen Mambrino, dam old Morgan by Wagoner. The owner is Robert Stewart of Kansas City. Suisun, a mare by Electioneer won the third and fourth heats in 2:18$ and 2:22. the former time being a new record for her, and adding still another to the 2:20 list of Palo Alto's great sire. The Directors of the Tehama County Agricultural Associ- ation held a business meeting on Saturday last for tbe pur- pose of letting the privileges for the coming race meeting. The pool selling went to L, H. D. Lange, who tendered the Association S250 for the privilege. The track is now near- iog completion, and many horses are being worked there daily. From the character of the ground on which the track has been built, is is confidently expected that it will be one of the fastest track in the northern counties. The free-for-all pacing race at Detroit did not fill as well as was expected many of the "cracks" being at the Pittsburg meeting. On Thursday the day set for the race, only three horses appeared for the word, they being Adonia. Williard M. and Gray Harry. Owing to the length of time con- sumed in finishing the other races, the pacing race had to remain uncompleted until the following day. As it stood when postponed only one heat was paced, Adonis winning that with perfect ease in 2.16}. A correspondent in San Bernardino writes that Mr. Kelly has Valentine moving along with much of his old-time speed, and he also has Happy Prince, who is fully expeoted to get a record of 2:25 or better this fall; and Tropic by Vick's Ethan Allen has also shown considerable speed. The same correspondent also writes to say tbat a foot race had taken place at the race track between Tom Morris and an unknown. A claim is made th<»t the hundred yards were negotiated in nine and three quarter seconds, but for the sake of the records we would like to have the starter and timers send us a certificate to that effeot. Senator Hearst has finally done what it would have been wise for him to have done long ago, says the N, Y. Times. He has got rid of the kid-glove trainer of his slable, Matt Allen, and has put his stable in charge of Albert Cooper, oue of the beet trainers in the country. Now that the change has been made, there is little doubt that Senator Hearst's horses will before long be seen in front instead of in the rear at the finish. Mr. Allen turns over to Mr. Cooper as finely-bred a lot of horses as any man ever owned, and after he o«n get them into racing conriitioo, whioh Mr. Allen never could do, they will certainly prove to be money earn- ers. One thing is certain, the Senator's horses will not now be sent to the post unless they are fit to run. Mr. La Grave, the Secretary of the Amador and Sacra- mento Association, whose meeting will be held at lone, com- mencing August 5th, sends in this week a list of the entries received for the various events which closed on the 15th of this month. He also asks me to announce that extra races will be arranged during the meeting, so that if any horses are brought there who have no engagements that there will be a chance for them to run for liberal purses. As has been stated before, special reductions will be made in passenger fares over the various railroads. An excursion train will al- so run from Sacramento and Stockton. The Chicago stable of racerB, who have been running in and out as it has suited the gambling of their gambler-owner George V. Hankins to have them run, is in bad odor at Washington Park, Chicago. The recent defeat of Santalene by Atticus waB tbe straw which broke the camel's back, and the club has decided to accept no more entries from the sta- ble. Some of tbe Southern owners of racing stables say that udess Hankins, who is proprietor of gambling houses in Chicago, is expelled from tbe track, they will never again be represented at Washington Park. The officers of the Asso- ciation are now making an investigation. Since she was purchased by Mr. Shultz and taken to his farm near New York City, says the Breeders' Gazette, it has been discovered that the pacer Gold Leaf, whose record of 2:11$- was made last year when she was four years old, is quite a trotter, it being possible to drive her a mila on a trot better than 2:30 any day. It is understood that before the present season closes Gold Leaf will be fitted for as fast a mile as she can show at the trot, the idea being that two records, both better than 2;30 and at different ways of going, will enhance her value for selling purposes as well as make her colts worth more than they otherwise would be. Some months ago I had the privilege of driving out behind Ashland Almont 3481, owoed by Mr. Wm. H. Ashby, of Oakland, and was very favorably impressed with his speed. On Saturday last the horse was started for an exhibition half mile to let these present see what he was good for, and although only taken from Btud service the day before, he easily negotiated a half mil? in 1:15 J. the last quarter in 36} seconds while the last eighth was mide in the really credi- table time of 16J seconds. Those who saw the performance ppeak of the horse very highly and there is no doubt but what before tbe season finishes this noble pacer will get a good low record for himself. Daring the week ending Jaly 12th the Californians at Washington Park, Chicago, fared very well in regard to money won, the following btiog the names of those who won $500 and over: G. V, Hankina $4,005 Sinta Anita Stable 3.8S0 Dndine Stable 3,2fi0 George Hearst 2.835 T.Licalzi 2.003 W H.E.Smith 1 7;0 J. W. Guest 1,5 0 W.

Wioker- sham, Fresno; San Mateo Stock Farm, San Mateo; Pleasan- ton Stock Farm, Pleasanton; Percy Williams, Undine; Palo Alto Stock Farm, MenloPark; D. M. Reavis, Chico; L. TJ. Shippee, Stockton.

As I predicted last week, the owner of Belle Hamlin seeks to evade the question and returns Mr. Hickok's compliment by proposing another sort of a race. He says 60 per cent of the gate shall go the winner and 40 per cent to tbe loBer, and in a sort of a way confesses that Sunol is the superior of his mare. When the great filly from the Paci^c Coast completed a half mile at Detroit on Thursday last in 1:02*. it may have surprised the Eastern people who saw her for the first time, but to the Californians who have watched her closely, there was nothing remarkable in the feat, as that is about tbe notch at which she can be sent the first half, and it is al- most a positive certainty that she can go the other half in 1:044. That would make the mile 2:07. and there are hun- dreds on the coaBt to-day who think that Snnol can oomplete the mile in that time. The rac-9 going people of Hollister have about completed a race track which will be the equal of any in the Slate. It was started for the purpose of having it ready in time for the coming fair which begins on September 2nd, and which will far surpass anything of tbe kind ever seen in that section. Speaking of the race track the Advance says: The race track at the new fair grounds when completed, will be one of the fastest in the State. The turns are 385 yards in length, with 500-yard stretches. The traok is modeled after that of the Agricultural Sooiety at Sicramento. The turns are thrown up on the outside over twelve inches, which will enable a trotting horse to turn without diminishing speed. Some great exhibitions of speed may therefore be looked for iu the future, A horse power and pomp have been purobased and will be placed in position to pump water into a five thousand gallon tank. The traok will be ready for driving upon next week. Lee Shaner has his hands full at the Petaluma track and is working many hours eaoh day to prepare bis charges for the coming circuit. Mr. Whitney's Anna Belle, the promis- ing two year old, from whom so much is expected, is mov- ing along nicely, and Mr. Shaner seems to be of the opinion, that barring acoidents he will get a record for tbe filly of 2:30 or better. Emma Temple haB but little trouble in negotiat- ing quarters in 35 seconds, and on several occasions she has been asked to beat 2.25 for a full mile and finished the work easy. Mr. Shaner also has Oaknut moving very rapidly, and bis owner thinks that before the rainy season sets in that the stallion will make a mark considerably below 2:25. It iB reported that Mr. Borrell will shortly go to Honolulu with a consignment of trotters, among them being Lot Slocum- we do not know how true thiB is, bnt if several tirst-class trotting horses are taken over to tbe Hawaiian Islands, the Kanakas may expect some good sport. 1890 %ht fgucjetter and Bpovtsmm. 63 B. C Holly's Trotters at Vallejo. Last Snnday I took a trip to Vallejo partly for information . sod partly to get away from the obnoxious fogs of San Fran- cisco. After an bonr and a half's ride in train and l oat, I got off the cars at Floeden — a side track for the old Vallejo race track — and in ten minutes was discussing the pio?ppcts for the circuit with the veteran horseman, B C. Holly. Ban- ner or trotter, it seems all the same to "By;" he has proved on many a track that he coQld hold his own at either game, though of late years he has conceded that his time and health are too valuable to waste on runners and trust to a boy's handling, while in the other business his master-hand can guide a Woodnut or some lesser light to victory. On being asked what he would have on the circuit, a gloom overshadowed Mr. Holly's face as he said; I can't tell; luck seems dead against me. Distemper — for the first time since I have been here— stopped several more than useful youDg- Bters, one in particular, being thought a world-beater and with good reason; he is Hollywood by Woodnut, 2:16£, dam Amelia (twin filly) by Albert W., 2:20, grandam PaciPc Maid by Elmo 891; nest dam by David Hill out of a General Tay- lor mare, and her dam by Williamson's Belmont, Hollywood (a yearling) was entered round the circuit, but distemper stopped him, and he bad to be turned out. "Woodside then had a spell of sickness which has left him very much pulled down and stiffened up, but he should pick up rapidly now; he i? a well bred and Bbapely two-year-old, is by Woodnot, 2:16^, dam Veronica by Alcona 730, grandam Fontana by Almont 33; great grandam by Alexander's Abdallah 15. We then took a glanoe at the horse3 in active training. St. Patrick, 2;19i, who odIv arrived from Montana a couple of weeks ago, looked exceptionally well, though he will not be ready for a race jnst yet, as he has had a long season in the stud, and has had no fast work; he will be entered in the free for all pace. Pink, of whom Mr. Holly has great hopes this year, had her feet in a tub, and seemed as though she was foundered. She was driven a few days preyious a mile in 2:25 last half ia 1:10$, and seemed all right after it, but stiffened up all over, and if nothing worse Bupervenes, will be retarded in her work a good bit. She proved herself a fast, game mare last year at Butte, when, after Senator, Tramp S., Conde and Col Bradsbaw had taken the first fnar hea's id 2:2U, 2:21£, 2:22i and 2:21, Pink, who was second in the fourth heat, took the tilth in 2:26, the sixth in 2:23,1. and the seventh in 2:25, with all the others badly pumped ont. Flora 6. is a neat, trim brown mare, nine years old, by Altoona 8S50, from Susie by Conway's Patchen; her record of 2:291 was mad"e at Marysville in 1SS7. She is entered in the 2:30 class, and should get a portion of tbe money, though her owner says if the 2*30 class trot as fist as some of them Bay, tbey he will not be in it. Kafir, a three-year-old bay colt bred at Ko3emeade,by Alca- zir. 2:20. dam Flower Girl by Arthurton. grandam Flora by Gen. McClellan 144, great grandam by Langford. The Cook Farm's Chas. Derby 4907, and a two-year old which aie being handled by Mr. Holly, will also be taken through tbe circuit. D?rby is by Steinwiy 1808, from Katy G. by Electioneer 125, grandam Fanny Malone by Niagara, great gran dim by Trustee. So far he has not shown speed enongh to warrant his beiDg entered in any of the advertised races, but he will be put in some of the made-up races for 2:40 horses or thereabouts; it is hoped to put him in tbe 2:30 list before next season. The two-year-old filly is by Steinway, dam by Administrator, grandam by Seely'a American Star. 8he is a big, lengthy, handsome bay tally, with lots of power behind and pure action. Among the other horses in the stables is the racy looking Electioneer stallion Election, who is out of Lizzie H. by Whipple's HambletoniaD, grandam by Comus, great grandam by Arnold Harris. He belongs to the proprietor, but has had little or no work so far. A glance was then taken at one of Mr. Holly's purchases at the Hill Sale. It wa^ a useful looking biy yearling filly by Wm. Corbitt, from Queen's tilly by A. W. Richmond, from Qaeen by Ben Wade. She is a natural trotter, and, as a lot trotter, one of the fastest ever seen; she has been driven double a few times. Extravagant, by Woodnut, 2:16|, dam Economy, 2:30, by Echo 462, is a yearling filly that is being worked a little, and shows exceptional promise, being deservedly the pet of the farm. Mr. Holly tLen proposed a drive to look at the mares and foals, and Mountain Boy was brought out and hitched up to a T cart. The premier stallion of the ranch looked in grand trim after his stnd duties, and although unable to stand fast work, owing to bad usage as a youngster, he can any time Bhow a quarter in 34 seconds to a light cart. Mountain Boy 4S41 was bred by Charles Backman, Orange County, New York, foaled 1882, sire Kentucky Prince, dam Elise by Mes senger Duroc, grandam Green Mountain Maid by Harry Clay 45; 3d dam Shanghai Mary. It is almost unnecessary to Btate that Kentucky Prince is the sire of Guy, 2:10}, and fourteen trotters, and grand sire of ten in 2:30 list, while Elise is sister to tbe renowned Elaine, 2:20, Prospero, 2:20, and half sister to Electioneer. The handsome brown stallion is aB gentle and as tractable as any one could wish, and behaved with perfect decorum under exceptional surround- ings. Lisette, by Abdallah Wilkes 7562 from Musette, by Startle 290 from Becky Sharpe, by Billy Denton Go, from Kent mare, by Long Island Black Hawk from a daughter of Abdal- lah 1, has a grand looking filly fot 1 by Mountain Boy, and in the same paddock is the thoroughbred Ninena, with a racy looking colt alongside by Sid. Lou Medium the dam of Red- wood, 2:24^, has a slashing looking foal by Mountain Boy, and has been bred back. Jenny H., sister to El Monte, 2:29, has another good looking Mountain Boy youDgster. Irish Lass, who was a good, consistent performer on the turf, has a pure-gaited trotter by Woodnut at her side called Marcos Daly. Carrie Wbippleton had an exceptionally goo 1 looking bay cilt by her side which reminded me a good deal of Albert W. 2:20. The colt is by Happy Princa 10546, out of Aurelia— the twin filly— by Albert W., out of Pacific Maid by Elmo. 2:27, etc. The youngster 1b entered in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake, and was put with Carrie, whose foal died, as Amelia was to be trained, but after showing a 2:20 gait, she broke dowu. and is turned out. Violette by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. 31. out of Viola by Echo, 462. out of Woodbine, sister to Monarch, 2:284, had a nsefni looking black filly by Happy Prince at her side. Many other youngsters were seen, aDd without fear or favor, it can be said that Mountain Boy's get are just what one would expect from such a grandly bred and purely f jrmed horse. Every one who bred to him is more than sat- isfied, and over eighty per cent, of his mares foaled. After interviewing the much advertised mule John Mackey, by Geo. Washington, d.im by Echo, we adjourned for lunch, the rest of the afternoon passing away in what seemed to be only a few minutes while listening to reminiscences of old time races, running and trotting, in north, east, south and west in which our. host had taken an active part with varying suc- cess, but generally winding up with a balance. A Great Race for Banquet. He Breaks all Records for a Mile and a Quarter After yesterday's races at Monmouth Park, says the New York Times, there is probably not a man liviDg who is at all conversant with his history who will not agree that William L. Scott of Erie, Penn., is the luckiest man who ever owned a stable of race horses. Mr. Scott began life as a page in the House of Representatives and was a poor boy. He drifted to Erie, was a shipping clerk there until be became a mer- chant, and was so fortunate that everything be touched seemed to turn into gold. He accumulated coil and iron lands, became a politician, was a member of Congress, a manipulator of political conventions and campaigns, and finally he arose to become the owner of a stable of racers. In tbe latter capacity luck has been as steadily with him as in everything else. His blood still remained at about the tem- perature of an iceberg, and his bump of benevolence is yet as a mere pimple beside that of the bump which represents acquisitiveness in his phrenological outlines. Mr. Scott has simply been overwhelmed with good luck since he has been raciug. as witness Chaos's victory in the Futurity, Torso's present of the Double event, (the second half of which Ana- conda won) and the winning of the rich Lorillard Stakes ten days ago by Torso. Mr. Scott's luck remained with him yesterday when the Stockton Stakes, for three-year-olds, was run. His gelding Banque1", who wasn't generally considered ot much accouDt, not only walked away with that prize, worth a little over $8,000 net to the wiuner.but hekno^ked endwise the records of all tbe great racers at the distance, a mile and a quarter, and so, if time amounts to anything, proved bimselftobe by Beveral pounds a better horse than either Silvator or TenDy. His record of S:03i£, made over the straight Mon- mouth course, is li seconds better than that made by either of the pair of great racers. It isn't probably, however, that either Mr. Hoggin or Mr. Palsifer would want to trade their horses for Banquet, even with a good round sum thrown in "to boot " There is no deubt whatever that Banquet ran the race in tbe time recorded. In fact, a doz9n or more watches held by competent timers made the run in 2:03.1, a quarter of 8 second faster than the official time. The first mile was run by Tournament, who was in front at that point io 1:38, which is tbe fastest mile ever run in public, and it has probably never been equalled in a private trial. Tbe trainers who were to start their horses in this race had requested that it be run over the straight course. So Superintendent Van Bsnien put a force of men to work on the course, and they had it in absolutely perfect condition by the time the race was to be run. It was dry, soft, and, as trainers would put it '"lightening fast." There were but three starters beside Banquet, these being Tournament, Sir John and Devotee. Down in the betting ring Tournament was a hot favorite, and Dinklespiel, tbe Dwyers, and other plungers shoveled in their money on the winner of the Realization as a sure thing. And the bookies kept it all. BaDquet was the second choice, and Mr. Scott himBelf sent a moderate commission into the ring at odds of 2\ to 1. The other two were outsiders. So far as could be seen from tbe grand Btand, the horses got away on very even terms. When the line was broken Tournament and Devotee were the first to show in front, but the whole lot were well bunched. At the end of about three-quarters of a mile Ban- quet had taken Devotee's place as second to Tournament, the pace proving loo hot for both him and Sir John. There- after it was a driving run to the end of the route with Tourna- ment having a bit the best of it up to the 1 Bt eighth-mile post, where the pair was od even terms. Slowly but purely Taylor sent Banquet up in front of TournameDt, and then in the last few strides, by a supreme effort, the Scott gelding got safely in front and won the stakes by three parts of a length from Tournament, Sir John being eight lengths away and Devotee bringing up the rear. It was unquestionably a great race for Banquet, but it was an equally great one tor Tournament, who had ten pounds the worst of the weights, and who certainly was not given a two-pound beatine. If Banquet can run over that course in 2:03$, io what time can Salvator, Kingston or Tenny run it? Tbe Monmouth Park AflBOciatiou should giye the public a chance to see. Tennessee Pacers. The Tennessee pacers have attracted the attention of horse- men all over the country, and yet little is known or can be substantiated as to their breeding. Onr fore fathers were a careless crowd, and they never depended upon registration for anything. Our best and fleeteBt pacera are always eired by some horse that we can't trace. It is only within the past year or bo that any attempt has been made for registering the pacers. It is a well knowD fact that the pacing blood has done much for the trotter, yet all tfforts have failed to trace to the fountain head the sires and dams of tbe fleetest horses the world has ever known. Blue Bull, a pacing stal- lion, is second only to George Wilkes as a sire of trotters, yet he is an unknown quantity as far as his breeding is con- ceroed. Kittrell's Tom Hal was bought in Kentucky in 1850, by Maj. M. B. Kittrell. The horse waB brought to Tennessee as a four year eld. He was by a large bay horse, named Tom Hal, and said to have been brought from Canada, Kestley stated that his dam was by a Dare Devil horse, out of a Loughborough mare, and "nearly thoroughbred.'' This is all known of this one. It has been established, I believe, that Moore's or Gibson's Tom Bal was by Kittrell's Tom Hal, out of Julia Johnson, a roan mare by Adams' Stomp, son of the thoroughbred horse Stump-the-Dealer, Adkins' Stump, another one of merit, is claimed to have been out of a daughter of imp. Bagdad. She was certainly not a thoroughbred, as be was a roan and a fast pacer. He sired the dams of Tom Hal a d of Bonesetter, 2:19. The bload of Kittrell's Tom Hal and Stump-the Dealer is found in almost all fast pacers. McMura' Traveler, usually known as "Old Traveler," was a dark chestnut stallion, 16 hands, sired by Stcmp the Dealer, and foaled about 1844 Hia dam, like the reat or rather nearly all, was of unknown pedigree. She produced also by the Copperbottom horse,the black pacer, Pat Maloue' sire of S'eepy Lize (dam of Frank Bnford, 2:20) a horse now coming into prominence through bis sons and daughters Traveler founded one of the best fam lies of saddle horses His sons have sired Joe Browers, 2:1S, Sam JoueB 2*185 Billy White (trotter), 2:29|- and others. Bay Tom, 2:23, was by a horse called Bledsoe's Tom Hal (sire of the dam of Hardee, 2:29]); not yet fully traced, but probably a graudson of Kittrell's Tom Hal. The dam of Bay Tom was by Knight's Snow Hal. sire of the dam of Hal Pointer, 2:13. Bay Tom sired Fred Neil (trotter), 2-26J- Maj^r P-, 2:29J; and Bay Tom, Jr., 2:30. Bay Tom, Jr".,' sired Duplex, 2:16J. Billy A. and others. Another pacing sire of prominence is Hardee, sire of Thunder 2:22i; George Gordon, 2:27£ and Gen. Hardee (trotter), 2:29}. He was by George Washington. Brooks (alias Tom Brooks), by Stone and Edmonstan's Pilot, and his dam were of untraced blood. Brooks is prom- inent as the sire of Bonesetter (trotter) 2:19. Following the long list np, we have Prince Polaski, sire of Mattie Hunter 2:12|, and of the dam by Prince Hal, 2:161. He was bought out of a government corral at Xasbvitle at the close of the war, by the late Geo. T. AUman, of Conners- ville. Tenn. All efforts to trace his pedigree have failed. The list could be carried on and on, but with this blood we have produced some of the fasteBt horses in the world. No trotter or pacer has yet been able to equal three consecutive heats of Little Brown Jngin2:ll}, 2:12j — nor to go three heats bo near the top of his speed and in so near the same time. Bonesetter still heads all trotting stallion-; in numbera of heats (88) made below 2:30. Brown Hal, the unbeaten racer, won a third heat at Cleveland in 2:I2£. which is the fastest race record for a stallion, and was marie in one of the mo^t desperate sis-heat races on record. Id the deciding heat Brown Hal, although very lame, raced the last half of the sixth mile, timed by a dozen watches, in 1:031. Hal Pointer, five-year-old, entered the campaign last year with a record of 2:29}, and closed it with a record of 2:13, having won eight out of niDe races, all of them broken beats! including the fastest sis-heat race on record, and having reduced his record more than any 2;30 performer has ever done in one season. Mattie Hunter took a record of 2:12$; Susie P. has a trial of 2:IS. Prince Hal, 2:16.1, is a son of Brown Hal, 2:121 — Courier Journal. FOR SALE. Black Gelding, HEII)RFi::;4 Eight years old.

For further particulars, nre are sev- eral additional heatB, each of them a race in itself. The harness horses, therefore, frequently furnish twice as many contests as the runners. This, instead of being an attraction wearies the crowd, or as one of the spectators at the recent Dundee Park meeting put it, when the second days pro- gramme comprised thirteen heats; "There is too much pork for a shilling." It is seldom that the interest can be kept up for the time that it reqniaes to get a dozen or more hea's off, and if an American audience were not the most patient in the woild the track would be Jeserted when the is.-ue is kept in doubt as long as it frequently is at a trotting meeting. Under the rules now in force on tracks of the National and American Associations a horse that does not win a heat in rive goes to the stable unless there are ten starters, when all remain in as loug as they do not tranegreBS some other law requiring disqualification. Doubtless this rule was con- ceived in the interest of fair play to the owner who paid entrance money, and was therefore entitled to every chance to get his horse to the front, but the people in the grand stand were entirely ignored by a provision which serveB to make a trotting race as tiresome as an old fashioned sermon. A striking instance of this occurred dnring the meeting at Detroit last July, when the three classes Bet down for the first day had ten or more starters in each, so that it was possible for them to have continued all the week. As it was, only one race was ended on time, and it took fifteen heats to decide the other two. It has been proposed to change this fossilized plan, by which the speotator is liable to be bored beyond endurance and the horses are taxed to the verge of positive cruelty, but those who control the legislation on the subject have not yet condescended to take the desired step. At the last biennial congress of the National Trotting Association it was proposed to amend the roles bo that a horse must win a heat in three or four or retire from the race, but that body refuBed to ratify the treaty to leBsen the hardships of the horse and his patrons, so that the sun will go down on many an unfin- ished race this season, as of yore. As for puch a thing as dashes or even two in three beats, the stiff-backed managers of the trotting tracks will have none of them, so it is not to be wondered at that those who would see light harness sport resume the place now usurped by the gallopers are wont to contract the methods employed by those who aim to pro- mote the respective pastimes, and find the one enterprising, go ahead and successful, while the other is deep down in the rut of an undefined prejadioe against anything that savorB of change or experiment. The plain truth is that if the trot- ter had not such a firm hold on the people his individual magnetism would be counteracted by the wall of conservatism that surrounds his public career. Like the man who drank to success all his life and yet lasted for eighty odd years, the trotting turf survives in spite of the mistaken polioy pursued in its conduct, and not by the help of those who control its atf'iirs. It is only just, however, to state that there are rare instances of efforts to get out of the beaten path, which would be more successful if other associations would follow suit. For instance, the Detroit Driving Club, in its splendid programme for the coming meeting of twelve raoes and S50,- 000 in premiums, provides that the 2:22, 2:20 and 2:18 trot- ting classes shall be decided by two heats in three, instead of three in five. This sensible innovation is but a forerunner of what mu3t be generally adopted if the trotters and pacerB are not to be snowed under, for the runners are encroaching on their right of eminent domain, even in the Western coun- try where they formerly held undisputed sway. The Driv- ing Club of New York made a trial of dash races in harness during the fall of 1888, but the experiment was not a fair test of their merits, and it is possible that another will be had this season. Another thing which illustrates the obtuseness of those who are responsible for the retrogression of trotting in its Eastern home is the persistency with which the judges art, placed in a stand on the side of the course opposite to the spectators, where they have the worst possible view ot the horses as they swing into the homestretch and are compelled to decide a close finish with the prospects of its receiving a storm of disapproval from the grand stand. To begin with, the three men who are responsible for fair play all round are placed so high in the air that it is difficult to judge accurately between two or more horBes that come under the wire to- gether, and, being close to the inner rail, the pole horse is sure to get the worst of it. Then, again, the crowd Bees the finish differently across the way, and there is general dissat- isfaction. The running turf people had this same trouble formerly, but they were wise enough to move the judges across in front of tbe grand stand, so that the close deci- sions are now, with rare exceptions, aocepted without criti- cism. Up to tbe present not a prominent trotting track has tbe judges' Btand where it Bhould be, but most of them pie- serve the tall pagoda which handicaps the judges and ob- structs the view from the grand stand, and is in fact every- thing that it ought not to be. More than one of the younger turfmen, and an occasional professional starter, have sug- gested such a change as has just been discussed, but it will probably take an avalanche ot agitation to move the stand where experience shows it should be placed. If the movement to bring the trotting turf out of the slough of neglected opportunity could be conducted as political re- forms are, the party of progress should have three planks in its platform to begin with, namely, quicker disposition of a race than three heats in five, smaller entrance fees to puraeB and stakes with fewer divisions of the money, instead of the four now in vogue, and the locating of the judges where they can see the finish equally well with the spectators. In spite of the mistakes made by those who control the trotting turf, tne Bulkies continue to attract the crowd in many of the Western and Eastern cities. It remains for a few more live associations like that at Detroit to leave the old path and give the race-going public what they want. As to what that means, the methods employed on the running tracks furnish the model, and prove that your turfman fiudB the same attraction in dash races that Horace depicted in the life of tho aoldier — "quick death or joyfpl victory.'* The American trotter has been developed to a point where he rivals the runner in his flights; in point of money value he outstrips him, and it requires only good, sensible manage- ment to restore him to the place in public esteem that he once held in and about the metropolis. — To make a slow horse fast tie him to a poHt, or give him S, L.

Sidney (Memo's sire) is universallv 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 race on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:3 1. 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 that he would have shown in public very close to tbe 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. Ab afour-yearoid Memoonly s'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed great speed, aud 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 Beveral very fast niiies his leg filled and ne was laid up for the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His col.»r is a flossy black, with both fore-feet white. His disposition In all that coula he desired, and his action superb. He is a sure foal getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season. TERM.*5, 3110, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th, when he will be prepared for track purposes. Pasturage 8i per month. Have leased the cricket ground adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is fine feed.

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 abows the pos- session of great speed; perfectly manageable in the stable and on the road and track. AB he is sired by The Moor 870. a son of CLAY PILOT, out of Vashti by MAMBRINO PATCHES, he is a most valuable cross for mares of other families. THE MOOR sired Beautiful Bells and the dams of Sable Wilkes and Margaret2:28 (dam of Regal Wilkes, 2-year-old record 2:201). MAMBRINO PATOHEN 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 son of bis sired (he dam of Axtell. The public sales this year have demonstrated with renewed emphasis the value of The Moor and Mambrino Patcben strains of blood.

Montana, and several horses well known to California patrons of the turf are over there drawing in sheckles for their owners. The reports of the circuit given below are taken from the Montana Journal. Missoula Races. The first day's meeting of the Montana raciDg circuit, commencing July 14th at Missoula, was a great success and very fast time was made in some of the races. Promptly at 2 o'clock the horses io the half mile dash were eilled, and af- ter considerable scoring the horses got away well together, Sunday winning the race in 0:48i, Tim Murphy a close sec- ond. Purse $250. The nest race was a running race for two-year-olds, six furlongs. For the first half the four entries could have been covered with a blanket, but at the quarter Sinfax forged to the front and took the race in 1:17-J, Butte second. The next was a trotting race, mild heats, best three in five, for Missoula horses. In this race the sports dropped their wad, most of them imagining that Lans \V, a new horse here, was brought in to scoop the crowd, Skalkaho, however, owned by Bob Coombs, pounded out three straight heats in 2:36 1, 2;47i and 2:49. At the end of the second heat in this race, while Asbury Plummer was turning his horse, Toronto Patchen, to report at the jidge's stand, he fell from the sulky, his feet catching in the lines. Plummer grabbed the wheel of the sulky with one hand and held on while the horse was trotting swiftly back. The crowd stopped the horse after dragging Plummer fully fifty yards. Fortunately the man was not seriously hurt, but it was an exciting accident. The last race of the day was the 2:30 class. The starters were Ben Davis, Belle and Minnie Almont, the latter win ning three heats in the five trotted. The fastest time in this race was footed up in the second heat by Bslle in 2:32i. The little mare troHed the mile without a skip. The second day was well attended, and everything passed off pleasantly. The first race, mile and a half dash, was won by Guido Time, 2i53J. The second race, three furlongs, was won by Sunday. Time, 0:35. Third race, for Missoula horses half mile, best two in three, was won by Diavolo. Time, 0:51}, 0:52^. The trotting race was won by Homestake, the fastest heat being 2:34£. The day was intensely warm, the thermometer reaching 98 degrees. The third day prove! very enjoyable. The attendance was much larger than on the previous day and interest is growing. There were three racas. The first was arunning race, one- half mile heats, best two in three, for a purse of $250 Jack Dowd's famous Sunday took two straight heats in 43 and 43J. The running mile dash was won by Heyfrou's Diavalo. Time, 1:45. Interest centered in the event for side wheelers. Bowley took the race in the first, third and fourth heats, pacing the third heat in 2:18£. The third day the attendance was much better than any of the precediog days. The first race in the programme, one-half mile da3b, did not fill and wa3 declared off. A seven-eighth mile dash was substituted with a purse of $300, but also failed to fill The first race callei was a three-quarter mile dash, purse $250. The horses started well together and kept bo to the home stretch, when Tim Murphy forged to the front and passed the wire a strong winner. Summary— Cy Mulkey's Tim Murphy won. Ed Gaylord'a Sympathetic second, P. Sullivan's Circle J. third, Carlisle & Shield's Lew Carlisle fourth, Brown & Blevin's Olympia fifth. Time, 1:15.

The third race, UDder the conditions in which it was made, was immense. It was io the 2;35 class, purse $400. No side- wheelers appeared, but the flyers, Ed. Lafferty's Homestake, Jones' Gray Ned, Percy Johnson's Minnie Almont and the Denver stable Uncle Toby answered to the call of the judges' bell. As the animals passed in review before the stand they were greeted with rounds of applause. In the first heat but two scores were made before they passed under the wire in perfect line, and the word go was given. Gray Ned had the pole, and the square footing was kept up to the first quarter. The great horse Homestake forced the pace, and won the heat handsomely in 2;35^-. About 4 o'c!ook a violent wind and rain storm came up, but in a lull the horses were again called, and as the word go was given the storm came on again and blew a perfect hurricane during the entire heat. At the start Homestake took the pole and held it to the finish. Time, 2:35$. The heat was trotted in 2:34. Uncle Toby was withdrawn. SUMMARY. Homes take 1 1 X Minnie Almont 2 2 2 Gray Ned 3 3 3 Uncle Toby 4 4 0 Time, 2:33j, 2:35J, 2:34. A large crowd assembled at the race course the fourth day. This being ladies' day, the fair ones were out in full force to see the display of speed horses. Nearly all business houses were closed bo that all might enjoy the races. The first race was a quarter-mile dash, in which there were five entries: J. A. Alfred's Roanoke, P. Sullivan'B Kitten, Brown & Blevins' Bay Tom, A. H. Sutton's Bob Wade, and J. P. Sutton's Nettie S. The horses started away well to- gether, and were almost neck and neck until within about twenty yards of the wire. Bob Wade's jockey shot ahead and won the race in 0:22|, with Nettie S. a close second. Summary— Bob Wade first, Nettie S. second, Roanoke third, Bay Tom fourth, Kitten fifth. Time, 0:22J The next race was three-fourths of a mile, best two in three, for a purse of $300. In this there were four starters, Heyfron's Diavolo, Phelp?' Roly Boly, Kismet of the Denver racing slable3,and Lew Carlisle, belonging to Carlisle & Shields. Diavolo waB the favorite, and sold three to one over the field.

With this day (Saturday) closed the summer races of the Montana circuit at Missoula. Most agreeable weather has prevailed throughout the week. The attendance has been large and appreciative, and the races satisfactory and speedy. Jodge Gratton, the official starter, has given his rulings in a firm and impartial manner, and everything has passed off Bplendidly. The first race was the merchants' handicap, one and one- eighth mile for a $300 purae. The starters were Guido, Ollie Benjamin, Governor Adams and Tom Dalj . Ollie Beojamin and Governor Adams Bold first end second favorites, but Tom Daly was the fleetest of foot, and won the race in 1:56J.

Deer Lodge, July 22nd. — Deer Lodge had a splendid day of racing. With the exception of a small wind storm about the middle of the afternoon the day was as good as could be wished. The judges were M. P. Grattan, of Minnesota, the official starter for the circuit; John Bielenberg and W. H. Raymond, proprietors of the Belmont stock farm in Madison County. The races were hotly contested. They were all on the square and no grumbling. The first race was a trottiog race, in which were the follow- ing contestants: Homestake (Ed Lafferty). Desota (Henry DeWitt), Almott (J. H. Butler), who went in the order named. The race was won by Homestake in three straight heats. BUM MARY. Homestake 1 1 1 Desota , 2 3 3 Almott 3 2 2 Time, 2:37, 2:37i, 2.36J. The second race was a running race, sis furlongs, in which the following starters went in the order named; Sin- fas, (Cy Murphy), Naomi, (Denver Racing Association), Xenophen, (Smith A- Thornton), Zora, (J. A, Murray). A strong wind was prevailing at the time, Dgainst which the horses bad to pull coming down the homestretch. The horses came in in the order in which they were assigned positions, Sinfax 6rst in 1 ;1SJ_. and Zora far behind. The third race was the last race of the day and created much interest. It was the 2:20 trot. The horses contesting were: Dollie, b m, (Hugh Kirkendatl), Ben Davis, ch g, (Denver Trotting Stable), Gray Ned, g g, (M. T.Jones), Vera, b m. (Huntley & Clark), Maud Singleton, (Ike More- house), Belle, gr m, (J. P. Stoneroad). They bad positions as above named. On the first beat Grey Ned took the lead and kept it up the backstretch when B^lle cime to the front. Eotering the backatretch Vera, who went in bobbles, broke and lost over a hundred hards. She nude this np by a grand straggle and coming down the homestretch passed to the front and nnder the wire in 2:42, Belle eeoond, Ben Davis third, Gray Ned fourth, Dollie fifth and Singleton sixth. The struggle which Vera made in this beat it is thought injared her speed in the other heats. In the second heat Vera broke again, Belle took the lead and kept it throughout, coming under the wire in 2:30). Vera second, Davis third, Singleton fourth, Dollie fifth and Gray Ned sixth. The other two heats were a rcpetitiun of the second, a summary of the race being: Belle 2 1 1 1 Dollie S 6 6 6 Ben Davis 3 8 3 3 Q ray »d * 6 4 6 Vera 1 2 2 2 Maud T U 4 6 4 Time. 3:31. 2:30J, 1:211, 2:Jlft. The (juarter mile dash was exciting when it came, but the horses were fully an hour in getting a start. The were Roanoke (C. K. Dixon), Bay Tom, (Brown ft 1 Kitten (D. Daniels), Nettie S (J. P. Sutton). Whei horses did get away, Bay Tom got a poor start, Nettie S from the start and came in winner in 22} second*, Roai second, Kitten third, Bay Tom fourth. r 74 llie Jmte atwl j^jrotsmm Aug. 2 THE DETROIT MEETING. California Horses Win Many Victories. Notwithstanding the fact that Pittsbnrg had taken the same dates olaimed by the Detroit management for their annual meeting, the number of horsemen present on the opening day was one of the largest that has ever attended at this place. The weather was all that could be desired, and the excitement was at fever heat from the time the first race was called until the judges gave their decision on the last heat of the day. The crowd has been vaiionsly estima- ted at from 10,000 to IS 000 but a conservative person would probably figure it about 12.000. During the intermission between heats Signor Liberati furnished splendid music, which was highly appreciated by thoBe prescut. In a con- versation with the musical director, he informed the Breeder and Sportsman's correspondent that the services of the band had been secured for the California State Fair Meeting, and I can assure the readers of your paper that a treat is in store for them. Nearly every number which the band rendered wa9 heartily encored, and the solos by the leader were applauded again and again. I was in hopes that California might be able to win the 6rst race of the day, as Mr. Salisbury had entered Katie S. in the 2:30 class but at the last moment three of the seven starters, including the Pleasanton mare, were scratched. Cricket, after the firBt heat had no trouble in winning the 2:24 pace, although in the first heat Bhe was pushed by Grant's Abdallah. The contest is a remarkable one and is best told by giving each heat by itself, which will be done further on. The judges of the day were Messrs. Carnpeau, Ijams and Benjamin. At exactly 2 o'clock the 2;30 race was called, the starters being Leopard Rose, a spotted mare owned by Win. Branni- gan of Mount Vernon, Ohio: Pixley, b m, which was entered in the name of Budd Doble; Hylas Boy, b g, the property of the Elm City Stock Farm, New Haven, Conn., and Ryland T, b g, owned by W. H. McKinnev of Kansas City, Mo. In the pool selling Pixley sold for §100 to the Held §100. In the firBt heat Doble got away well in front and pushed Pixley all he could, Leopard Rose acting very badly; when near the quarter she struck a fast gait and was soon on even terms with Pixley, but left her feet and was shortly far in the rear. She settled down after a time, but was unable to re- gain her position, and in the homestretch Rjland T moved up, but his efforts to head Pixley were unavailing, the latter moving very Bteadily, only making a skip once. Pixley was first into the stretch and won qnite handily in 2:21§, with Ryland T a good second. For the second heat Pisley was made favorite at $25 against $20 for the field, the second heat being a repetition of the firEt, Leopard Robo acting as though she required more work. Pixley was not troubled at all, and won aa he pleased in 2:19|. For the third heat Pix- ley sold at $25 to $15 against the Meld; from the manner in which the first two heats had been won, it looked as though money was being thrown away in backing the field. In the third heat Pixley adopted tbe antics formerly carried on by Leopard Rose, as did also Ryland T; when the word was given Rose seemed to have gotten over her -nervonsnesp, and trotted the full mile without skip or break. Time, 2:20J, The auction pools now changed, Leopard Rose being $25 to $11 for the field, and that she was much the best horse in the race was evident from the fact that as she had settled steadily to work, the winning of the fouith and fifth beats was a very easy thing for her, the time being 2:19£ and 2:20i.

There was considerable applause from the California con- tingent present as Andy McDowell drove out Cricket for the first heat in the pacing race. Evidently reputation had pre- ceded her, as when the auctioneer asked: How much am I offered for first choice? S6 was all he could get in the field against $25 for Cricket; Grant's Abdallah had a strong fol- lowing, as he had shown up very well prior to his arrival in Detroit: in addition to the two mentioned, the other starters were Nettie C. and Chimes C. Cricket had the outside posi- tion, with Grant's Abdallah next the pole, but before the first turn was reached, Cricket had gained the inside position, with Abdallah second, Chimes C. third, and Nettie C. fourth; this procession continued around the backstretch and upper turn, and when Cricket entered the straight, she was folly four open lengths to the good. At this point Abdallah came like a Btreak of lightning, closiDg up three open lengths, and gave Cricket a hard race to the wire; the mare, however, showed her nose first to the judges, Abdallah being less than a half length behind as they passed the stand. Time, 2:1SJ. The wonderful burst of speed Bhown by Abdallah caused the talent to believe that Cricket had no easy victory, and a rush was made to get tickets on the stallion, the pool selling showing Abdallah $25 and Cricket $15. At these odds con- siderable money was wagered by a few of the speculative Californians who reaped good return from their investments. When the word was given, McDowell drove Cricket to the front at once, and on reaching the turn was two lengths ahead of Abdallah; this distance he keDt until around into the upper turn, where the mare was given her head, and four or five lengths of daylight was soon opened between the two contestants, the other two being Beemingly outclassed in such fast company. Down the homestretch Cricket came with such speed that the mile was negotiated in 2;15£. The asso- ciation, in offering the purse of $2,000 for these pacers, also tacked on a rider that if 2;15 was beaten in the race, that the sum of $500 would be given to (he horse making it, and between the second and third heats, McDowell confidently exclaimed : "I'll win tbat $500 or I'll kill the mare, " and true to his word, when the word was given for the third heat, Andy let her have ber head from the start, and she paced like a perfect fiend. As she passed under the wire a winner, there were demonstrations of delight from the audience, but whi n the time, 2.-14J, waB announced from the stand, a con- servative person conld almost have imagined tbat pandemo- nium had broken loose. By her performance, Mr. Salisbury was enabled to take down $1,600, in addition to which, she has secured the reputation of being one of the best pacing mares in the United States.

It was fully 5 o'clock when the first heat in the 2:22 trot was called, seven starters responding to the bell. California was represented in thiB race by the b g Voucher, Chas. Mar- vin being up behind him as driver. The company, how- ever, was a bit tco faBt for bim; still he secured fourth money. As the race had been anDOunued as best two in tbree, McDoel was selected by the talent as the favorite, he selling for $25 to $11 for Voucher and the field for $12. Tbe scoring was very tedious and the patience of the audience sorely exhausted, for fully a half an hour of valuable time had been used up when the word was finally given, Maud, b m, owned by Elm City Stock Farm, proved the winner in the first heat by a half length, Tariff being second, Beverly third, and McDoel, the favorite, fourth, Marvin being satisfied with sixth position, while Dick Smith was distanced. Time, 2:18f. Notwithstanding the result of the first heat, McDoel &lill retained tbe esteem of the talent, for he sold at $20 while the field brought $25. Maud started away to cut out tbe work once more, but McDouel was brought up with a rush and was unable to head the mare* at the three-quaiter pole Maud was still leading, with Tariff and the favorite left for second place; from there into the homestretch the race seemed almost any one's; coming down the straight Maud, Tariff and McDoel had a neck to neck contest, McDoel winning by a nose only, Tariff being second and Maud third. Time, 2:19. The third heat was almost a repetition of the second with the exception that Voucher had a fight with McDoel instead of Maud, she having left her feet on the first turn. Time, 2:20£.

After two heats had been trotted, both of which was won by G. B. in 2:20£ and 2;20}, the race was postponed until Tuesday morning. Between the heats, the two great four-year-olds, Sunol and Axtell, were walked up and down in front of the grand stand so that the audience might see what these wonderful young- sters looked like. Word was sent here this afternoon that Mr. Hamlin re- fused to make a match with Belle Hamlin against Sunol, but as has been anticipated in the Breeder axd Sportsman he came back with a counter challenge, which Marvin tells me will not be listened to. SECOND DAY. If it were possible, the second day of the meeting was a greater buccofs than that which preceded it. There were hardly as many people present, but there was a fcreat deal more room to spare, which meant increased comforts to those who were present. The delightful musical entertainment given by Liberti proved very enjoyable, and was heartily appreciated. The first race of the day was for the unfinished 2:26 trot- ting purse, two heats of which had been won on the previ- ous day by Bob Stewart's G. B. As was only natural to sup- pose when the third heat was called, G. B. was an immense favorite at $25 to $15 against the field. Making a bad break, the favorite was scon out of it, and Buck Morgan had no trouble in coming under the wire first. Time, 2:20J. The fourth heat, however, was easily negotiated by the Kansas City horse, he winning as he pleased in 2:21 J. The following is the SUMMARY. G. B., b g, Bob Stewart, KansaB City.

Mile First beat 34 1 :07J 1 :40i 2:17} Second heat 35} 1:C8J 1:42 2:20J The great event of the day was the Merchants' and Manu- facturers' $10,000 ttake race. In the betting Prinoe War- wick was sold its first choice for $20, Siglight $18, while the field sold for $40. Almost a half hour was lost in scoring, and finally word was given to a very good Btart considering the number engaged. Playboy was pent out for position and soon took the pele from Walter E. although "folly a half dozen of the field chased him hard to gain the lead from him. At the half mile pole Playboy was in the van by a length with Gillett second and the California-bred mare, Suisun third; from here out the fight was between Playboy and Gillett, the two making a very pretty race down the home stretch, Playboy winning the heat by half a length, Time, 2;l8i. For the second heat the field sold for $25, while Playboy was sold for $ IS. Again conpiderable scoring was indulged in, and the judges fined the drivers of Nutmeg, Walter E. and Suisun. At last word was given, Nutmeg baviog a little the advantage of the start; at the turn Playboy again took the lead andstnek to it, closely pursued by Nutmeg and Suisun. At the half-mile pole there waB a bunch of four, all in line, consisting ofllayboy, Nutmeg, Suisun and Gillett, while Walter E, led the second division. Just as the home stretch was reaohed Playboy unfortunately threw a shoe and broke, falling back; Walter E. came out from the Becond division and joined Gillett and Snisun in the race for fir&t place. Walter E. proved the fortunate one, poking his nose under the wire first in 2;18i, Suisun being second, Gillett third and Hickok who had brought Warwick up very fast finished fourth. As there were so many Btarters and already two heats bad been taken by different horses, the talent who are always.looking for a little Bure money, very prudently de- clined to bet at tbe beginning of the third heat. On the send off Turner who had driven well in the preceding heat, pushed Suisun rapidly to the front and before reaching the quarter, bad taken the pole from Walter E , Prince War- wick now coming along very fast, while PJayboy still had the leaders well within reaching distance. In about this way they came. into the home stretch when Walter E. was sent along at rapid strides, his driver trying to do the Eame trick that he had performed in tbe previous heat; Turner let out Suisun for all there was in her while Hickok was pushing Prince Warwick to his full speed; up to the wire they came and one blanket would have covered them all, Suisun proved her ability as to what she could do by coming under the wire first in 2:1S^. Still the talent teemed to keep off from the chase as there were few of the heavy betters who had much faith in Suisun, the field selling for $25 while Suisun brought $10. For the fourth heat there was but little delay and Hickok pushed Prince Warwick for all there was in him and almost imme* diately took the pole. At the quaiter Warwick was in the lead with Walter E. second, Playboy third and Suisun fourth. At the half Warwick was still leading but Playbov was now in second position with Walter E. third. At the three-quarters Suisun had crawled up and as Warwick broke the mare rushed to the front closely followed -by JPlayboy, Walter E. falling back. In the stretch it looked as though the ch g might win but at the distance he broke and was out of it, Suisun stot ahead and won in comparatively slow time although challenged by Almont Wilkes and Gillett. Time, 2:?2. As darkness now came on the remainder of the race was postponed until the following day. For the 2:17 pacing race only four starters came to the wire, and there being no California entries I simply send you the SUMMARY.

Simmons Liver Regulator is a safe, sure cnre. Mr. J. V. Caldwell of Glenville has recently lost his fine trotting horse Solano Chief, from blood poisoning. James Surget, of the Fatherland Stud Farm, near Natchez, lost three valuable brood mares duriDg the week before last. James A. Dustin has more horses in training than any other driver in the State. Jim should have a few winners in his string. Harry J. Agoew is fast putting the Agnew Stock Farm into shape. Wbeu completed it will be one of the most perfect in the State. At Buffalo, nest week, a large number of California horses will start for fresh honors, and I fully expect to see several records broken. I am sorry to announce that Adonis showed signs of lame- ness after his fast heat at Cleveland, and it may be that he will not be seen on a track again . The mare that was stolen from Mr. Corbitt's San Mateo Stock Farm, about two weeks ago was Laora Drew, the dam of a very fast yearling which will be seen on the oircuit this year. JameB Goldsmith, brother to "Oar John" has pat four into the 2:20 list this year. Wbt-n the roll is made np at the end of the season it will be found that "Jimmy" is well up in the list of winning drivers. Capt. Ned Hacket of Oakland drove his Anteeo colt a few days ago on the Oak'aod track a f nil mile in 2:31 . This isa great performance, and the captain has a fine colt which will surely be heard from later on. California has the honor of having bred and raised the only horse living or dead that has two trotters or pacers inside of 2:12. Sidney 2;19| is the sire of Gold Leaf 2;11| and Adonis 2;1H. All hail to the;Golden State. F. A. 3prague was m town on Monday and Tuesdsyindnc- ing horse owners to make entries on the Northern Circuit. As he was well pleased with his visit, there is no donbt but what he was successful in his endeavors. The once premier jockey of California, Fatsy Duffy, has been taken by his friends to an asylum where be will be tak- en care of until he can recover from the effects of a pro- tracted spree upon which he has been. There has been received at this office the seventh number of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide for the piesent year. As E usual it is replete with valuable information and everyone in- terested in the thoroughbreds should have a copy. Ehono. the Hi arst celt that won at Saratoga the other day, is very well bred . He is by Flood, out of the imported mare Eosetta by Struan, Son of Blair Athol. After the 4th dam his pedigree runs into thBt of Bay Midd!eton. Mr. G. Valensin started East on special business last Wed- nesday and will be gone for about six weeks. When there he will visit several of the prominent trotting oenters and probably see his horse Simmocolon start once or twice. The day is not far distant when the Cocmbs Bros, of Napa will have the reputaiion of being successful trotting horse breeders. Sttmboul, Sable Wilkes and Director blood lines are prominent in their at present small stable of horses. The purchase of Exile for the Fairview Stud in Tennessee, is a step in the right direction. With such mares as Thora, Wissabicken and HenlopeD, the great Brooklyn winner is apt to be beard from in the upper ranks of the running sires. There is now a strong probability that the Pleasanton horses will not return in time for the Oakland meeting, but ■will moBt surely be seen at the State Fair. It is the present intention of Mr. Salisbury to take his stable as far as Roches- ter. L. M. Morse hss at the Lodi Track, a stallion colt by Director, dam by Santa Clans, that is showing a high rate of speed; and bow can it be otherwise with two records. 2:17 and 2:17i in the first and second generations of the pedigree. After summing up all the reports which are current about fast green horses, it can confidently be stated that there are five ''unknowns" which may possibly trot cIobo *o the "twenty" mark. This of itself is enough to assure grand sport in the slow classes. John McConnell is at San Jose, and inmor says that he has three good young trotters in training which are showing np very well. "Buster" has a knack of bringing his charges to the wire in winning condition, so whenever he starts it is probable that first money will drop his way. There is now no reasonable doubt but what the sire of the dam of Allen Boy can be proved so that the most sceptical will not hesitate to believe. Within the course of a few days we hope to be able to have all the necessary documents to hand, so that it may be given to the public. Capt. Ben E. Harris has had the misfortune to have Freena Froman, by Adventure, dam Blue Grass by Hambletonian 10, drop an embryo foul, by DawD, 2:182. This is too bad, as in addition to being a fine individual, the mare, mated as she waB, should have produced a speedy youngster. As is well known, Sanol is likely to become Bulky when on & circuit, aDd she ie Bhowing her disposition back Eist, for on Thursday last the best half mile sbe would go for Marvin was 1 ;06, although the first quarter was negotiated in 31 seconds. The mare does not seem to relish a change of quar- ters. Eacine has had his colors lowered this week by Baveloe. another California bred horse. At Monmouth Park, on the straight track last Thursday a son of Joe Hooker — Illusion, succeeded in running a mile in 1:39^. Although this now forms the record for a mile, Eacine's performance is the better the two. RThe old horse Betrayer, by Traducer ont of Idalia, which died in New Zealand some weeks ago, never got a firBt-class performer, and yet he was own brother to Sir Modred and Cheviot, both of whom are represented bv winners of more than average large races. The mare Maid of Kentucky, sister to Foxball, purchased by the Messrs. Finlay, of Australia, and subsequently Eold to Mr. Samuel Gardiner, has never had a foal since her ar- rival in the colonies. She is very small and not at all of the shape or size to become famous as a matron. Sam Gamble informs me that Stamboul has been turned over to John Goldsmith, who will handle the stallion and try to reduce his present record of 2:12}. The great son of Sul- tan has made a big season in the stud, and it will take Borne time for even such a mechanic as Goldsmith is, to get the 8tallion near a race. Dr. "Wm. F. Egan has taken the position of Veterinary Editor on the Breeder and Sportsman and will be pleased to give advice tbrough our columns to any reader who may desire the same. Dr. Egan is a close student, has a large practice, and is in every way competent to rill the responsi- ble task which he has so kindly undertaken. Orrin A. Hickok must have made a "killing" at Cleve- land on Thursday, as he lost the first heat of the 2:17 race to Tamlico in 2:17A, but managed to land Alfred S the winner of the second, third and fourth heats in 2:19£, 2:17 and 2:19$. Pamlico is a wonderful five-year-old, and his sup- porters thought he could beat the son of Elmo. We are in receipt of a telegram which states that the Di- rectors of the Buffalo Association have made arrangements with Cbas. Marvin, and that Sanol will start there on Thurs- day, August 7th, to try and beat her record of 2:10J. On the same day Belle Hamlin will make an attempt to beat 2:104, which will in a measure settle the status of super- iority between the two mares. "When at Saginaw, Mr. Salisbury was obliged to start Margaret S. in the 2:18 race, as Direct was completely off. In a letter received from the owner of Director, the information is given that the "Little Fellow" and Katie S. have been under the weather, and that it may be sometime before they round to. Cricket and Margaret S. are, however, enough to keep up the reputation of the stable. The match race for §500 a side between the trotters Argent and Cyras E took place Thursday afternoon at the San Jose race track. Argent won in three straight heats the time being 2:27$, 2:28 and 2:30k A representative of the Breeder and Sportsman was present and paid over the stakes, to Mr. "Walton owner of Argent, this paper having been stakeholder, since the match was arranged in March last. The great New Zealand Stud Company is in the throes o* bankruptcy, and all the horses and cattle will probably be sold some time in October. Breeders desiring great bargains will be obliged to take the steamer of September 21st from this city. There are seven or eight daughters of Musket, stinted to St. Leger which would be a valuable acquisition to any American breeding farm. St Leger is by Doocaster (sire of Bend' Or) out of Atlantis (dam of King Ban) by Thormanby. The Manhattan Food Co. have removed irom their former quarters to 623 Howard St. This preparation is now exten- sively used all over the country as horse owners find that it improves digestion, fattens stock, assists the appetite, strengthens the kidneys, regulates the bowels and destroys worms. Those who have not as yet tried it on their horses should send for a sample. At Santa Barbara on July 26th two races took place, one being for the trotters and the other for runners. For the first one the entries were Geo. W., Gazelle, Nellie and Bullet, the purse being S100. Bullet won the first, fourth and fifth heats in 3:03, 2:55 and 2:52, while Geo. W. took the second and third in 2;57 and 3;00. The running race, five-eighths of a mile bad two entries, Consuelo winning easily, Jennie Ferguson second, time, 1:064,. As was predicted in "Gossip" two weeks ago, the Directors of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders Association have offered the largest guaranteed pnrse for trotting foals that has ever been put before the public. It is a Futurity Stake for foals of 1891. to be trotted in 1893 or 94 and the sum guaranteed is $25,000. They have also decided to give a stallion representative stake for foals of this year to be trot- ted in 1893 the sum guaranteed being $10,000. Don. D. Donnan Editor of The Iowa Farmer and Breeder has purchased from Charles A. Marsh, JeBup, la , the two year old hay colt, Don Donnan, by Diotator "Wilkes, 5231, dam by Totaway. 216S. by Aberdeen, 27; 2nd dam by Mam- brino Pilot, 49, by Mambrino Chief, 11. The sire of this colt is by Bed Wilkes, dam Nancy Lee, the dam of Nancy Hanks, 2:24i as a two year old; she by Dictator, 113. Mr. Donnan has sent the colt to Eusb Park, Independence, where he will be handled by C. "W. Williams late owner of Axtell. The Valensin "luck" still continues. At Pittsburg on Friday last, Simmocolon won in the 2:23 class, on a heavy track in 2541, 2:26 and 2:254. At Cleveland, on Toesday, he was again started, this time in the 2:21 class and won in 2:21.}, 2:19 and 2:22. As Mi. Goldsmith has put the horse in the "teens", according to promise, Mr. W. H. Wilsou of Cyn- thiana, Ky., will have to forward the noted driver a first class sulky, he agreeing to do so whenever Simmocolon beat 2:20 When L. A. Davies the owner of Eoy Wilkes, brought his horse to California to winter, laBt fall he performed a very wise action. He took advantage of the chance to pick np information in regard to California horses, and among the number he "got a I ne" on was Margaret S. When the race for the four-year-olds started at Detroit. Mr. Davies might have been seen buying the short end with an unceasing regular- ity that was simply charming to Californians, they admiring hi3 pluck for the strong allegiance he was showiug to the Pleasanton entry. When the race was over the poolsellers declared that Davies was the largest winner on the race, not- withstanding that Mr. Salisbury won $12,000 in the pools. The Australian newspapers to arrive by the steamer Zelandia, due to arrive to-day, will contain the weights for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups. The first ie a mile and a half, and the second is two miles. Mr. Donald Wallace has entered Carbine and Tantallon, the latter being an own brother to L. J. Eose's mare Catherine Wheel. He is one of the choicest bred horseB South of the Equator, being by Wellington, out of the imported mare Fizgig by Voltigeur. Wellington, himself a great racehorse, was by Panic (the sire of Commotion) out of the imported mare Frou Fron by Macaroni, her dam Glengowrie by Touchstone out of Glen- cairne by Sultan, own Bister to Glencoe. If Tantallon gets in with lesB than 115 pounds, he will be a dangerous horse in either of the famous races. Next week the first regular racing of the year commences at Los Angeles and lone. Visitors who may have occasion to go to any of the meetings should remember that Peruvian Bitters are a good preventative from the bad results arising from a change of water, and as Peruvian Bark is one of the main ingrediants, a healthy tone is given to the stomach by the use thereof. Wilmer'ding & Co , 216 Front St are the agents for the Pacific Coast, but Peruvian Bitters are sold at all first class hotels and cafes. When the Directors of the Detroit Meeting formulated their programme, in addition to the regular purses, $500 was to be added if certain times in each race was beaten, for in- stance, in the 2:30 class of trotters, $500 was given extra if 2:18 was beaten. In the 2:24 pacing class, 2:15 was the mark set by the Association, and during the entire wefek, Cricket was the only entry to carry off the extra money, she winning that race in 2:14] . Mr. Meek of Haywards is her owner, and that he is gratified by ber great work in the East bnt feebly expresses the situation. E. M. Johnson, sheriff of Koekuk County, Ind., has in- vented and patented a horse timer which he believes will become very popular on race courses, Fays the Jeweller's Weekly. _ The dial is about three feet in diameter, and its divisions and subdivisions are marked with sufficient distinctness to be seen from any part of the ordinary grand stand. The markings divide the circumference of the dial into minutes, seconds, half seconds, quarter seconds, eighth sec- onds and sixteenth seconds. The hands may be stopped or started instantaneously by touching a button at the back of the caBe. The minute hand makes one revolution in twelve minutes, and the second hand makes a revolution in one minute. Both may be turned to the starting point instantly and easily. The esoapement is a half second beat. There never was a public holiday at Pleasanton on which there was such general rejoicing as last Friday and Saturday when the news came that Margaret S, had won the rich stake, which was instituted by the Horseman Publishing Company of Chicago. Bonfires were in order while crackers and bombs tended to make the nervous even more bo. To say that the little town was painted red but feebly expresses it, all classes of persons turning out to do honor to the great filly, Mr. Sal- isbury her owner, and Andy McDowell the popular driver. But while "SuccesB to the Pleasanton Stock Farm" was the favorite toast, still one could hear on all sides, "Hurrah for PaloAlto" "Three cheers for Simmocolon" "Hiekok's a brick" "Cricket can down them all". Well the folks bad something to rejoice over as five Californian owned horses had started in two days and all of them received first monev. Palo Alto owned by Senator Stanford, Margaret S., bred and owned by the Pleasanton Stock Farm Co., while Cricket is controlled by them at present. From the ValenBin Farm comes Adonis, and Simmocolon is owned there now. Truly Pleasanton may be pardoned for the demonstration, as these victories have done more to advertise the horse industry in that section than anything else could possibly do. Mr. James Howard, who was considered good authority on the physiology of breeding, deemed the following cardinal pointB fully established in breeding: 1. That from the wale parent is mainly derived the external stracture, configuration and outward characteristics, also the locomotive system of development. 2. From tbe female parent is derived the in- ternal stracture, the vital organs, and in a much greater pro- portion than from the male, the constitution, temper and habit in which endurance end "bottom" are included. 3. That the purer the race of the parent, tbe more certainty there is of transmitting its qualities to the offspring; say two animals are mated, if one is of purer descent than tbe other, he or she will exercise the most influence in stamping the charac- ter of progeny, particularly if the greater purity is on tbe side of the male. 4. That apart from disturbing influences or causes tbe male if of pure race, and descended from a stock of uniform color, 6tamps the color ol the offspring. 5. That tbe influence of the first male is not nnfreqoently protracted beyond tbe birth of the offspring of which he is parent, and bis mark is left upon subsequent progeny. G. That the transmission of disease of the vital organs is more certain if on tbe side of tbe female, and disease of the joints, if on the Bide of the male pirent. On Sunday last there appeared at Morsehead stable the trotting horse Ira. 2:244, which had just been brought down from Humboldt county to take part in the Fall races. If this horse ie handled properly there is no question of doubt but what he can made a very low mark for himself, it only needing a competent driver and plenty of work to place him well within the "teens." In giving place to the above from the San Francisco Breeder and Sportsman yesterday, we did not for tbe mo- ment remember that "Ira" went below in charge of E. L. Hunt, who has bandied him ever since his purchase by Mr. Cooper. We also overlooked the fact that the language of the paper quoted from carried with it an intimation of in- competency, which is eniirelv uncalled for and gratuitous. When Mr. Cooper bought "Ira" Irom the Stanford stables his best recorded time was 2:50. Uoder Mr. Hunt's handling this was brought down to 2:24$. No one eUe has ever been permitted by Mr. Cooper to drive or handle him. The owner is entirely satisfied to ;Ieave the horse in Hnnt's hands, in spite of the uttered misgivings of the Bbebdeb and Sports- man. He recognizes in Mr. Hunt a mao of unswerving lion* esty and integrity, these qualifications having been satisfac- torilv demonstrated on more than one occasion. Humboldt people are well enough satisfied that the horse will be "bandied properly." and believe that under Hunt's manage- ment he will yet "make a very low mark for himself." The above remarks taken from the Eureka Standard, on an item which appeared in "Grim's GoBsip" some two weeks ago, is "entirely uncalled for and gratuitous." Mr. Hunt was not even known to be in charge of the horse and his competency is an unknown quantity so far as the horsemen of this Beclion are concerned, but we sincerely trust that Ira'- trainer and driver may prove himself able to cope will older and more experienced heads which he will meet on tb circuit. The language used was meant in all sincerity an< with tbe best wishes for both Mr. Cooper and his horse. 76 %ht %xtt&tt and § poxtsmm. Aug. 2 TUEF AND TRACK J. I. Case paid $3,500 for Clara "Wilkes, 2:28^. The fast pacer Gem, 2:13£, has a foal by Nutwood, 2:18|. The Hazlitt Btable arrived at Monmouth Park last Saturday. Suisun has lowered her mark gradually from 2:31} to 2:18J. W. H. E. Smith last TneBday sold Loogshot to J. O'Brien for $4,000. ' Theodore Winters only won $2,000 with his stable at Wash- ington Park. The "Western contingent of the Hearst stable won $3,335 at "Washington Park. The Duke of Portland has since March, 1883, won over $600,000 in stakes alone. Princess Alice, the Stockton pacer, is said to have worked a mile last week in 2:16J. Charles Boots will go to lone instead of splitting up the stable as he originally intended. Al Farrow and Almont ran one, two in a six furlong and repeat at St. Paul last Wednesday. The once mighty Proctor Knott will probably remain on the shelf for the rest of the Beason. A. J. Cassatt, President of the Monmouth Park Associa- tion, haB gone to Europe for a short trip. Mr. G. Valensin left last Wednesday evening for Buffalo and will probably stay out East for some time. John Reavey was up from San Jose last Tuesday. He says he will be in the ring with a two-year-old in the fall. Gu9 Carey iB working Redwood at Santa Bosa. Last week he was given three separate miles in 2:271, 2:25 and 254. Old Beaconsfield, once Jim Garland's pet, won a race at Missoula, Montana, last week, running the two miles in 3:41 i. Mrs. Body Paterson is said to have refused $10,000 for Trousseau, 2:2Si, by Nutwood, 2:182, and her foal by Beady Boy,2:29£. " " Lillian 2:14} by Adrian Wilkes S5G0 from Abdallah Light foot by Mambrino Abdallah 2251 was bred last year to Nut- wood 2:181- The Sire Bros, well known trotter Harry Wilkes 2:13.} was foaled in 1S76 and gelded in 1880. He is the sire of Billy Wilkes 2:29*. Direct trotted a quarter at Grand Kapids, Michigan, in 31| seconds on Joly 10th. Alcryon last year, trotted the same quarter in 32 seconds. W. L. Appleby split his stable up last week, taking part of tbem to Los Angeles; the other portion of the stable will go to lone under Orville Appleby's charge. Vagabond, the sire of Judge Morrow, has been purchased by Dr. Corrigan who will give him a chance in the stud at the Quindaro Stock Farm, Louisville, Ky. M F. Tarpey's Anteeo mare, who was in Hickok's stable this spring, has been bred to Guide, 2:29, by Director, out of Imogene. She will not be worked again. The Fairview yearlings which were sold in New York last Wednesday night with the salesrooms brilliantly illuminated by incandescent lights averaged nearly $1,000. A week ago yesterday W. Vioget worked Maggie E a mile in 2:22, and the same morning drove Wanda a mile in 2:23i. Both mares were trotting well within themselves. Spokane has ended hi3 career on the turf, being com- pletely broken down. He will be relegated to the stud and probably Montana will be his home in the future. Morton who went East laBt spring with the Western Con- tingent of the Hearst Stable has returned to California and will probably be seen in the saddle at Los Angeles. Good judgeB at Monmouth Park say El Rio Rey will race again, and his wind is not nearly as bad as was reported. I presume they haye not seen him fully extended yet. A. L. Hinds drove Balkan two heats in 2:254; last Wednes- day; the horse still shows signs of lamenesB at times and evidently has never fairly recovered from his sickness. Mr. Valensin's Simmocolon won the 2:23 class at Pitts- burg last week in easy style. After laying up tbe first two heats he trotted the nest three in 2-24| 2:26 and 2.25$. Simmocolon reduced his record to 2:19 last Tuesday at Cleve- land; he won the first, third and fourth heats in 2:21 J, 2:19 and 2:22, and only jast missed taking the eecondheat in 2:17. Amnlet, who was said to be one of W. L. Scott's best two- year-olds, has been retired for good with a badly cracked hoof. She is by imported Rayon D'Or out of imported Pres- to. Tbe society for the prevention ot cruelty to animals in Stockton, has announced its intention of arresting all per- Bons who allow their teams to stand over four houra without water. Horse thieves are on the move again. Among those who have Buffered from their depredations is Jesse D. Carr, who has had 150 horses stolen from his ranch in Klamath Co., Oregon. Very appropriately Los Angeles won the California Stakes r t Saratoga last Saturday, and on Tuesday ehe defeated the micbly Kingston, one mile and a quarter, in 2:1 ]J, with the track deep in mud. AH persons making entries to the fixed events for the Blood Horse meetings of 1891 and 1892, should recollect that under the revised rules of PaciDc Coast Blood Horse Association, all horses must be named. The Willows Agricultural Association are making strenn- oub efforts for a successful meeting. Among other attrac- tions will be the Ladies Riding Tournament which will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 13th. Florentin, a four-year-old brother to Firenzi, died at Rancho del Paso a few weeks ago. As a race-horse he was a disappointment, and being broken-winded, woold probably not have made a great stallion. Albert Cooper started out in winning form with the Hearst stable. Ehono who was a maiden four year old fairly romped away from the two good performers Eon and Diablo, doing the mile in 1:40 on a Bticky track. The Darebin — Tulare colt purchased by Hamilton Smith at the last Rancho Del Paso sale, arrived all safe in England, and his name will be found frequently in the principal two and three ^ear old races of '91 and r92. El Rio Rey was worked a fair mile at Washington Park, Chicago, before the close of the meeting. Rey Del Rey and Joe Courtney who worked out with him are said to have finished more distressed than the River King. Harvey W. Peck, who was in town from Healdsburg this week, Bpeaks in glowing terms of his colt, which is by Fern- dale, a son of Anteeo, out of Kitty by A. W. Richmond, from a Dan Voorhees mare; the colt has therefore a double Rich- mond cross. Dan McCarty is spid to have purchased a half interest in the Altonwood Farm near Westchester. The farm contains 716 acreB and is well equipped for the horse business having upwards of 100 stalls, while the land is neatly divided into small enclosures. Shamrock, who made his record of 2:25 as a two-year-old in 1SS6, and was last year sold by Mr. Valensin to Dr. Stimp- son, has been worked for some time on the Oakland track. Last week Shamrock was sent down to Los Angeles to take part in the raceB there. F. Sprague who lives near Chico has been in town several days, he speaks in glowing terms of the prospects of the Northern circuit and says that be understands that the 17tb District Fair at Glenbmok Park, Nevada City will surpass all previous fairs in that popular mining district. E. J. Baldwin left for the East yesterday. The proprietor of the Santa "Anita Stable will stop over one day in Chicago, and then go to Saratoga, where his horses are at present. The Emperor of Norfolk who is in work, has so far stood up, and it is confidently expected will race in a few weeks. Col. Waroeld, the ex-President of the Healdsburg Jockey Club, has gone East for a short trip. The Colonel who is one of the moBt popular men in Sonoma County, is a nephew of Dr. Wartield, the breeder of Alice Carneal and her world renowned son Lexington and many other crack horses. On August 7th Snnol will start at Buffalo to beat her rec- ord and on the same day it is said Belle Hamlin will attempt to beat 2:10i. It is a pity Mr. Hamlin did not see his way clear to accept the offer made him and have a race between the two mares which would have been worth going from here to see. The crack Sidney pacer Adonis has now the fastest heat in a race to his credit. On Wednesday at Cleveland after win- ning the first heat in 2:15| be took the second beat in 2:11 J. Hal Pointer then took the next three heats in 2:1S.£. 2:14} and 2:17. Adonis finished second the last two heats although lame. The breeders of trotters in Kentucky say that this season has been the most disastrous they have ever had. A disease resembling la grippB, with which the horses were affected last winter, has been the cause of hundreds of foals being slipped or lost after foaling, and it is now very difficult tc get mares with foal. W. S. Hobart returned from the East on Friday night of last week in time to join tbe Palace Hotel coterie in their felicitatioDB over the victories of Adonis, Palo Alto and Mar- garet S. Mr. Hobart was looking in remarkably good trim, although he was only on a race track once while away, and that one afternoon at Fleetwood. Tom Murphy, who came up from Petaluma the other even- ing, says that the heat is rather pronounced around Peta- luma. He incidentally remarked that he thought there were a whole lot of horses trotting faster on paper than auy other way. Wait till he Btrikes them. He says Emma Temple is going great guns in Sbaner's hands. Two of the toughest turf hattles of the year have been won by grandsons of George Wilkes, viz : the 2:24 race of eight heats at Philadelphia, won by Simmocolon, son of Simmons, and the 2:22 race of seven heats at Poughkeepsie, won by Golden Rod, son of Alcyone. Tbe fields of starters in these races were among tbe hottest of the season. The Jones mare by Winthrop Morrill 373,'died at Uanoho Del Paso a few weeks ago presumably of old age. She was brought out as one of a team for Senator Jones of Nevada and nothing was known tnrther than that she was by Win- throp Morrill. She showed plenty quality and evidently was highly bred. Senator 2:2U was out of her. The eBtato of the late T. J. Megibben have lost by death four valuable broodmares, viz.. Mayflower by Bob Wooley, out of Flower Girl by imp. Australian; Molly Cad by Lexing- ton, out of imported Weatherwitch by Weatherbit; Emerald by imported Saxon, out of imported Second Hand by Stock- well, and Genera by Planet, out of Geneva by Lexington. Hankins «fe Co. were tbe largest winners at tbe Washington Park meeting. They won, all told, in stakes and purses, $24,742. T. J. Cluy cornea nexl, with $11,790. The Santa Anita stableB are next, with $11,120. Hankins heada the list because of Uncle Bob's Derby victory. Clay's notch was reaohed through Balgowan's fine run in the Hi de Park stakes. Mr. A. C. Bruce, Rosemont, Minn., haB Bold to C. G. Goodrich, Minneapolis, Minn., Aunt Joe, bay filly one year old by Nutwood 2;18|; dam Mary F by Mambrino Boy; 2d dam Adieu by Administrator; 3d dam by Kentucky Clay; 4th dam by Mambrino Chief; also Brown Filly fcal by William L, dam Mabel, fall 6ister to Lou dam of Axtel 2:12; price for the two, $4,000. Vol 7 of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide, contains the usual amount of turf information. Among other statistics in the volume are the winniug jockeys to date. M. Bergen leads with 123 wins, Hamilton has been successful on 79 occasions, Taylor 64, Magee 53 Overton 51, Barnes 4S, R. Williams 47. Among tbe heavy weights, Garrison has 32 brackets, Murphy 10, and W. Hayward 1. Jack Maloney has placed that once brilliant and fearless rider, Patsy Daffy in St. VinceDt's Asylum, St. Loni6. After a few weeks sojourn there it is expected that Patsy will be in better health and condition. He will be given a chance again and it is to be hoped will repair his shattered repu- tation. There was always one redeeming feature about Patsy, he rode straight and with rare judgment. The lone fair which commences next Tuesday, Bhould be attended by all the local celebrities, while Sacramento, Stock- ton and the surrounding districts will probably be largely represented. The Sacramento Military Band has been engaged, and on Tuesday a specail excursion will be run from Sacramento. The programme is a very good one, and is sure to be productive of many a hard race. "Jimmy Temple, pacing record 2:23i," says the Turf, Field and Farm, "is but one of the numerous living exam- ples of the fact that action depends more upon conformation than inherited characteristics. Trotting blood will not give you a trotter unless it gives you trotting shape. The objec- tion to mixing pacing blood with trotting blood is that you increase the tendency to pacing conformation." The judges of a recent race in Michigan gave a remarkable exhibition of their knowledge of their rules when they called the driver of a horse that had juBt won a heat in slow time into the stand and told him that the public had come to see a horse race and wanted him to drive faster. They muBt have a new code of rules in Michigan if judges can force a driver to do more than win in straight heats, no matter what may be the time. The Lassen County Sopervisors have come nobly to the assistance of the county fair. At the last meeting it was voted that "on petition of tax payers of Lassen County, it is ordered that the sum of $500 be appropriated from the General Fund, to be paid to the Treasurer of the Lessen County Fair Association, to be used in defraying the expen- ses of said County Fair, if held in Susanville during the month of October, 1890." Since Conductor made his record of 2:26i a few weeks ago, F. H. Burke has had several inquiries from Eastern horse- men as to what is the price of Eros, who is a full brother to Cunductor and half brother to Sallie Benton 2:17^ and Sport 2:22J. Eros is confidently expected to lower his record sev- eral notches this year and go into the stud again with a rec- ord befitting his illustrious lineage and at an increased price, for Mr. Burke says he is not for sale. The scheme to form a company with a capital of $50,000, to take the Memorial park and turn the place into a fair and pleasure eround, is making good headway. The Tacoma Sunday Ledger saye: About $150 has already been promised, and it is believed that even though the plans now contem- plated are not realized this summer, tbe fall races at least can be held under the management of the new organization. The estimated cost of grading the plat inclosed by the tracks for baseball and other sports is $2,000. The late Major Doswell was the owner and breeder of many crack race horses. From Revenue and Nina he bred Planet; he also bred Fannie Washington by Revenue, and sending her to Leamington resulted in iEolus. In the sev- enties he owned Lizzie Lucas, who is now at Rancho Del Paso; Algerine. Outcast, Bushwacker and other well known race horses . Major Doswell's death leaves the Sara- toga Association with only two stewards, as Gov. Oden Bowie and Judge Perkins resigned some time since. Dan Dennisor, who is back in Sacramento, is said to be as lively and chipper a<* ever. Since his Oregon trip his tales of sights he's seen, in lands he's been, are even more varied and amusing than in days of yore. It is rumored ttut a well known journalist in conjanctioo with Dan is shortly going to publish a Bhort volume of racy stories which scintillate with Dan's witty Irish sayings. The Dennison stable will be on hand at lone next week and once more threatens to show speed, Senator Hearst is in better luck all round. Cooper started out with a wic with Rhono, and on Tuesday followed up his band by winning a mile and a furlong race at Monmouth with Mies Belle, a three year old daughter of Prince Charlie, beating Eon, Sluggard end Inspector B. On tbe same day the Western contingent at St. Paul scored a victory, if it could be so called, for Almont carrying 122 lbs. ran a dead beat with the Montana horse X, by Regent out of Sadie Williams- The pair ran the mile in 1:42. Stakes were divided, The writer of the "Home of Salvator" in the New York Sportsman of the 19th, ia rathBr mistaken when he credits the Golden West with John Happy as one of the native sons; he was bred by Capt. Jaa. Frankliu, Kennesaw Stud, Ten« nessee. The writer seems to have forgotten that Kildeer, who won a sweepstake at Westchester on June 16th, is by Darebin, from Lou Lanier, when he says that the first of the Darebins will race next season. The first of the Darebins were racing in Australia two or three years ago. McFarran & Clancy, of Louisville, Ky., write: On July 4lb, we bad a bay colt foaled by Bell Boy, record 2:19J; 1st dam Prefix by Pancoast; 2nd dam, Galatea by Mess Duroc, 3rd dam.

What a mistaken idea? All men admire high style if it is natural, bnt when a horse's head is pnlled higher than his formation justifies he shows it in every movement; and in- stead of adding to his beauty, it greatly detracts from it in the eyes of every man who is a judge of form. I heard a few days ago that the train with the Undine sta- ble's horses on board was wrecked at Pittsbmg on the way from Washington Park, Chicago, to Monmouth Park. The car containing the horses was badly smashed up, and it was sometime before the - horses were released. Racine was the only one much hurt, and it is hoped that no permanent in jury will result from it, but the crack miler suffered a good deal from the excessive heat, and his cramped up position before being released. He will not be in a condition to race for some time. Following the close of the Washington Park raeep, four poolrooms tried to open their establishments on July 21* t, and it is said orders have been given for similar daily raids, if necessary; to keep pools from beiug sold. Pool selling is allowad by the Illinois laws at race tracks only, and it is re- ported that the managers of the West side track, will, if ne- cessary, prevent the selling of pools down town, and inau- gurate systematic raids. If the poolsellers are confined to the racecourse, the bookmakers of the track will realize a heavily increased income. The round table in the Palace Hotel has been surrounded byhorsemfnforaconpleofweeks.au anxiously discussing the performances of the Salisbury, Palo Alto and Hickok horses at Detroit and the various centers of interest. On Friday of last week the coterie included Ariel Lathrop, G. .Valensin, Wm. Corbitt, W. S. Hobart. W. Lyle, L. E. CUwson and James A. Dustiu. Ooe and all were highly de- lighted at the great victory of Margaret S, while Palo Alto, Cricktt, Adonis and Alfred S all came in for their share of fluttering remnrks. It seemed to be the general opinion that Sunol would trot in 2-.0S sure. Sioner or later the bookmakers on the Eastern race courses will be divided into classes eo that a man wishing to bet a thousand or more will not have to push his way throngh a host of five dollar men to get to the front. The English plan is better in one respect than the American for there are several ringB there, Tattersall's enclosure being principally conducted on a credit basis with the usual Monday settling, while the ready money men in the outer ring will take no JesB then £1 ($5.00); the other books outside the ring take any sum down to about half a crown— possibly less. The other night at the Palace hotel I found Wm. Hen- drickson and P. A. Finigan sitting together in animated con- versation, both were of one mind that for brood mares a George M. Pa'cht-n Jr. cross was the best to have. Mr. Hendrickson. ts will be recollected by most horsemen brought Patehen to California in 186 J and took him back in the spring of 1S66. afterwards Felling him to Messrs. Hal stead who sold him to Wm. Matthews of San Jose who brought him back in 1S69. Mr. Finigan purchased him in 1877 and afterwards presented him to J. B. Haggin who sent him to his Kern county ranch, where he died iu 18S7. Representatives of a . proposed race horse association embracing the States of Eansas, Missouri, Llinois, Indiana and Ohio, are negotiating with Mr. C. E. Hill, proprietor of Savior Springs, for a location for winter quarters, and the privilege of using the waters of one of the springB for the horse?, c!a:ming that the waters of this spring have the nec- essary medical properties that are required by race horses after a campaign, and it is proposel to have the opening and cloEing races at this place. Saylor Springs is a beautiful health and pleasure resort within 100 miles of St. Louis, 240 miles of Cincinnati, and 225 miles of Chicago, and should these gentlemen accomplish their object, it will be a Western Saratoga. "The best riders in the world," said an old cavalryman who was giving a gx< enhorn some points on equestrianism, "are the Mexican?. Buffalo Bill's cowboys are splendid riders, but the Mexicans are belter still; and their superior- ity is in part due to the kind of saddle they use. The low English saddle you've got there," he continued. "I couldn't ride iu. It isn't tit for a man to ride in. Now, the great beauty of a Mexican saddle is that a man sitting in it has his legs almost straight down beside the horse like a clothes- pin. A Mexican on horseback keeps his heels and shoulders nearly in a line, his feet planted firmly in his stirrups under- neath him and poiuted straight ahead parallel with the horse." The editor of the Mirror and Farmer, who spent months in the saddle in company with Mexicans in California, endorses the views of the old cavalryman as being strictly true. An alteration is teing effected at the Brooklyn Jockey Club track which will be duly appreciated. It ha3 been found that the width of the track around the start for the five fur- loDg and half mile races is too circumscribed. To obviate this, therefore, the outside rails all the way down the back- strelch have been taken up, and the track will be widened there so as to admit of a larger number of horses starting without danger or inconvenience. It is impossible, owing to the lay of the ground, to make such a thing as a straight T Y C at Gravesend. But the authorities by widening the back stretch, are doing the next best thing in their power so as to give horses in the sprint races a fair show. The turn of course will always bean insuperable difficulty, but to all intents and purposes, a dash race is practically confined to the half dozen leaders, after the first quarter at any rate has been traversed. Verv few horses perfectly recover from the effect of seri- oub attacks of inflammation of the lungs. Cold must there- fore be regarded with the greatest apprehension. Habitual or chronic coughs, so prevalent among horses, may generally be attributed and often traced to colds caught when young, but which, beiug slight, have not been attended to at the time. Nor is it the lungs only that will in all cases be in- jured by colds; trachea or windpipe is often the seat ^here their baneful consquences will be established; by exciting the membrane to a state of inflammation a deposit is formed, ossilcation follows, and roaring is occasioned more or less violently. It is not perhaps the slight cold that may do this mischief, but the Blight cold repeated establishes an inflam- matory condition of the trachea, wh*ch in course of time be- comes chronic. The strangles or a severe cold supervenes {sometimes the epidemic called influenza, a similar disorder) either of which being attended with considerable inflamma- tion, roaring eDsueB in its worst form, and the animal is of little value. The following remarks from Col. B. F. Cockerill, the well known breeder, of Nashville, Tenn., may prove interesting as a comparison betweeD our modern racirg and that of some years back: *'I remember much about those old times. A race horse was a race horse in those days. There were no railroads, and the horses footed it from place to place — from Nashville to Hartsville, from Hartsville to Clarksville, from C'arksville to Columbia, Murfreesboro, Fayetleville, and on down South to Charleston. S. C. The trainer and the boys each rode ahorse, one wbs used to carry the camping outfit, another the tents, and so on. Just think of a race ho-rse being used ns a pack horse, travelling fifty to 100 and 500 miles and then going out and running heat races. We knew how to breed race horses in those days. Now we are breed- ing something as if we intended to place it in a ladv's par- lor." Boussinganlt experimented with catlle, and found that the addition of salt to their fodder did not increase the flesh or milk, but improved the outer appearance of the enimals. They looked more vigorous and healthy and had a smoother skin than those fed on the same fodder without salt. The latter were dull, inactive and sickly, their hair ragged, and in spots entirely missing. Liebig considered these experi- ments "highly instructive." Those with Bait, he said, con- trasted strikingly with those which did not have it. Of the litter, "there was insufficiency of salt for the purposes of secretion." Said he: "The outer skin is the mirror of the condition of the system"; and of those fed salt he said: "Their blood remained pure and proper for all the objects of sustenance. They received a powerful, and under the con- ditions an indispensable, means of resistance against outside disturbances of their health. The bodies of the others could be compared, in regard to sickness, only to light combustible material to which only a spark was wanting to cause it to burst out into consuming flames." It won't do to "sour" a colt until he detests a track and won't try to trot, just give him plenty of jogging every day, one after another, on the track, and you will soon have him "fixed." A sensible colt, like a sensible boy, likes to see that he accomplishes something when he works, and if he can't do this he loses all interest in the job, and everyone knowB what that means. A colt needs not only a change of speed rate, but a change of scenery, to insure the best results. Give him variety; give him the track one day, and a nice country drive the next; or, better still, two or three country drives to one track drive, and when you do strike the track, don't jog him four to Fix miles about as fast as he can go and then turn him around and speed him; this will make a duffer out of any colt. The better plan is to jog but little on the track, but always, or nearly always, open up your colt for a quick, short brush — always keeping him within his speed, and he will always have an appetite for his work, and will improve. W. H. Raymond, Belmont Park Montana, has sold to J. B. Hunter, of III., a bay colt, two years old, by Commodore Belmont, sire of Carrie Bell, record, 2:23J; first dam Mona West, by Dictator, Bire of J. I.

A sensation was caused in Plainfield New Jersey, by the action of the Rev. T. Logan Murphy, rector of the Church of the Holy Cross and President of the Plainfield Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in laying hands on one of the most fashionable turnouts in town and seeking to relieve the horses of Mr. O. T. Waring, the Standard Oil magnate, which it ti alleged have for a long time been cruelly treated. The especial offense of Mr. Waring, in the eyes of the society, is the extreme high checking which his horses have had to suffer. Mr. Waring wa3 notified by letter from an officer of the society six weeks ago that the practice of telescoping his horses' heads and necks back to their shoulders must be abolished. Mr. Murphy said that the horses drawing the Waring coupe were in as painful a posture as ever and promptly stopped them on the street, loosened the taut check reins, and warned the coachman that if ever a?ain he appeared on the streets driving horses so cruelly checked the society would have him arrested and severely disciplined. The society is determined to abolish high checking and the docking of horses' tails. Both offenses are common among Plainfield fashionable people. It requires better judgment than that possessed by the average hired man to arrange for and carry on the feeding of horses that are expected to turn off muoh work, either on the farm or on the road. Horses, like men, says an Exchange, get dull and listless when the digestion is wrong. The mus- cular system is under the control of the nervous system, in- cluding the brain, and the muscles have no tension and re- bound when digestion is disturbed. Under such a state the horse cannot be otherwise than a sluggard having no vim or courage. When the feeding is carried on indiscreetly the coat stares, and the outer surface feels too cool under the touch of the hand, in all weathers. This is the natural and invariable result of the blood leaving tbe surface aud hugging too closely about the digestive orgaus when the latter are laboring with wrong in kind or too large in amount. Undersuch influences the ears and limbs will be found to be cold; the pulse will be quickened, raised from the normal heat of 40 to 50 or over per minute. In this state the appetite is dulled and irregu- lar. When the body is overworked what is the remedy? Rest! When the digestive organs are at fault from too much or im- proper food having been given, then first of all we must give rest to the organs implicated. No remedy will avail anything without rest. He is a wise man who, in dealing wiib the ills of either man or beast, knows bow to estimate the abil- ity of a living organism to repair itself, and to po shape the conditions, including the feeding, so that it will have the best of opportunities for doing this. A good deal of discussion has taken place lately as to hofl fast a horee could go to the first quarter. Before leaving hert Orrin Hickok told me that Alfred S. conld*go there faster and oftener than any horse he ever drove, and furthermore said one morning he scored up to the quarter pole on the Bay District track against Adonis until the pacer had enough and then he gave Stamboul as much as he wanted. Gamblers down in the littleden-ridden town of Gloucester, which is frequented by Philadelphia's sporting fraternity, have good reason to question the expense of that esprit dt corps which is popularly supposed to be between men who make their living by their wits. The Times Democrat says: Among the numerous gambling resorts which have of late years sprung up there are two elaborately fitted up poolrooms, run by Bookmakers Madden and Bob Smith. They had the privileges of the Western Union wires, receiving the betting from the race tracks and the results of the several tracks. Their ventures were so highly successful that they excited the cupidity of three other men of the same denomination. Ooe of them gloritd in the name of Duffy, while the two others. Mackin and Marks, combined under the name of "The New York Book," and they started rival concerns. They either could not or would not seoure wires from the Western Union, and used to conduct their business by means of mes- sengers, who brought to them the news as called out in the rooms of Madden and Smith. The two latter, naturaily in- dignant, resolved by a bold stroke to drive the interlopers out of business. The methods they employed were ts daring as malignant. On Saturday last they determined to deal the blow, and they selected the second race at Monmouth— the Tyro stakes — as the one on which to execute the coup. Through their friends they played Sdlv McClelland very quietly, but very heavily in the rooms of Mackin and Marks and in Duffy's smaller establishment, standing to win $1000 in the larger establishment, and $400 in the smaller. Then with their money up they lay in wait for their victims. When the returns began to come in the man who calls out from the telegrapher's interpretation said: ''Sally McClelland wins, Bolero second." Then a few minutes afterward came the ticking and he added: '"All right, Ambnlance third. Time — 1:15." Quickly the messengers of Mackin and Marks and Duffy carried the doleful tidings to their rooms. Following them came the holders of the Sallie McClelland tickets, and they cashed in and disappeared via the Gloucester and Camden ferries. Neither Madden or Smith, however, paid -off any bets on Byron Mc"lelland's filly. They had received the correct news and simply falsified it. Some time afterward the announcement was made that Strathmeath had won, and that Sallie MoClelland bad finished last. It was too late for the victims to help themselves. The money had been paid to people they had never seen before, and probably would not again. They have but to lie in wait for the sharpers. The law gives them no redress. They were not bound to accept the news as detailed at the rival rooms, and they have no evidence, only a sickening conviction that they were played to the tune of §1400. In response to my request that "the Senator" take a pro- fessional look at those who in Congress find time to "watch" the races, sajs Druid Hill in the New Xork Sportsman, I have the following from Washington; It was during the races held at Bennings last spring that the following amusing incident occured, which will also well illustrate the interest taken in racing by our Senators and Congressmen. A well known lobbyist desired to see several Senators. He sent in bis card time and time again, and invariably received the same reply, "Gone to the races." At last, becoming dis- gusted, turning to the doorkeeper, he remarked, "Why in the something don't they move the capital to Bennings'.'" and during the rest of the week he did his lobbying at the races. Senator Hearst is the most ardent admirer of racing in the Senate, and he has spent thousands of dollars on his a*able. He is tall, inclined to be stout; with iron gray hair and beard. He dresses very plainly, and if seen on Broadway would be taken for a well-to-do Westchester farmer, who had come to town to see the sights. He is generosity itself, and bis bluff but hearty manner has won him many friends in both houses of Congress, and h:s pluck aud liberality as a turfman are admired by all racing men, who are always glad to see his colors to the front. Senator Stanford, the owner of Palo Alto, is more wedded to trotters, but still breeds a few run- ners. He is a quiet, pleasant, unassuming man, and no one who knows him, or has seen him, would think that he possessed fifty million dollars. Everybody who was ever on a race track knows, or should know, Joe Blackburn, as he is called by every man. woman and child in Kentucky. He has everything except plenty of money, and enjoys life thorough- ly. He is a h tndsome fellow of medium height, splendid head and eyes, <*ark brown hair, just tinged with grey, and dark brown mouBtache. His manners have the Southern softness and Western frankness, which, combined, make the most charming in the world. He dresses well, and his grace ful carriage would attract attention anywhere. He counts bis friends by the thousands, aud can tell more good stories than any man in Congress. The following anecdote one of his associates tells on him: He was asked, if he could have any three things he desired in this world, what three would he choose. He replied: First, a pretty woman; second, a good race-horse; and third, but not least, a drink of pure, common whiskey, and then laughingly remarked that every- thing worth having came from Kentucky. Wade Hampton is also fond of racing. In appearance he looks like a Russian brigadier. He has Gray Burnsides and a stern countenance. He was one of Lee's bravest and most famous cavalry officers, and he commanded the "Hampton Legion." which was named after him. Butler, his colleague, is also a devotee of racing, has but one leg, the other he left at the Battle of Bundy Station, while in a charge which was headed by Hampton. He was called the Mnrat of the Southern cavalry. He is a typical Southerner, spirited, high tempered, with cbarming manner, end is considered the handsomest man in the Senate. Rawson of North Carolina attends the raoea regularly. He is called the Chesterfield of the S-nate. He is a courtly, polished gentleman of the old sohool. tall, straight as an arrow, and every movement is grace itself. He owns two racers, presented to bitn, I believe, by the owner of Belle Meade, which he uses as riding horses. Vest, of Missouri, who was a member of the Confederate Senate, is a'so fond of a good race. He is one of the leaders on tbe Democratic side, and one of the best speakers in Congress. Senator Walcott, who is as bright as the silver from the mines of tbe Slate he haiU from. California, IB one of the most attractive men in Washington. He is the youngest man in the Senate. He dreesea in perfect taste, has a boyish countenance and a smile and voice that have won the h- of both meo and women. Ab a speaker he has few either body. Harris, Morgan, Vance, Voorhees, are all 1 of raoing. 78 %lxt %xtzSitx ku& j^orctematt. Aug. 2 The California League. (JAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCK TON.

Jevne is no longer playing with Spokane. Pittsburg has already had thirty players on its pay roll. "Zalinskly" Brown is what they call "our bigBiU" in Goth- Both O'Day and Hulin are doiDg good work for Harris' team. From this on some great playing may be expected from all the teams. Pitcher Fanning, lately of Denver and the player Finn was after has signed with Tacoma. MoLaughlin and Donahue umpired together at the Sacra- mento-San Francisco game last Tuesday. Cougblin has started out well. He has won every game so far that he pitched in for the Senators. Selna's first playing improves with every game. On high foul flys he has but few equals in the business. Dale; is sending out some corking long shots for the Sen- atorial team. He is well named home run Daley. "Get them out of the cellar" is the latest cry of the batter when the umpire calls a strike on a low pitched ball. Billy Cooney won a silk hat last Sunday for makiDg a home run for the Salems. It was the longest hit ever made on the grounds. Left fielder McGuckeD, of the disbanded Jersey City team and the player whom Robinson had his eye on, is now play- ing with Baltimore. Billy Ward second baseman of the Spokane team is said to be a great player. Anson was anxious to becure the services of Ward but his offer came too late. Dick Belcher, the College twirler who played some good games in the field for Tacoma, is now pitching for the E. & O. E. team Saturdays, and the M. J. Flavins on Sundays. Sweeneys batting record in the three games he played with Oakland was an excellent one. Of nine turns at bat he made lour runs and four hits, one a triple, gaining a percentage of 445. "All things come to him who waits" and the patient, long suffering baseball scribes who for months begged for a pad- ded front to the press box at last have had their wish grat- ified. Its a great improvement Colonel and for which we are heartily thankful. Colonel Robinson when talking about hi3 team is a curious combination of contradictions. Every hour in the day he gets stuck on some new idea, and there is scarcely a player ia any cf the minor leagues but what R obi j eon is go- ing to have, in his mind. If Zimmer of, of the Cleveland Club, has not earned his salary this season, then no baseball-player on earth was ever entitled to the money he received. His record behind the bat for pluck and endurance outstrips any feat ever before accomplished in the baseball arena. The Oakland players all evince a fondness for jewelry, and several of them are the possessors of some fine gems. Dungan is particularly fond of diamonds, not the kind cut out of cards, but the genuine article, and his expansive shirt front is decorated with one rivaling in size, if not in value, the famous Koohinoor. Joe Levequp, a promising young fielder and pitcher, who played with the Knickerbockers at Central Park last winter and who has since been with the Youne Giants of the Ama- teur League has been tendered an engagement by the Salem, Or. team. Billy Farrell lately released by Sacramento has also had an offer from the same olnb. "How about Lyons?" asked Pete Browning the other night. "Is he still smashin' 'em out? Say, he's a lulu wid de stick; There's no man in de Brotherhood who can beat him. Dave Orr is another jes' like him. Dave can hit 'em off his ear, on de gronn', 'ginst his shirt, or over his nut. Oh, I'm hittin' 'em right aloog too, '"old man. My lamps are great and dey can't fool Peter," — Philadelphia Press. Stockwell lias returned, the Des Moines team having dis- banded, and Colonel Robinson has secured his signature to an Oakland coutraot. To make room for the new members C. O'Neill has been released and this will alter the appearance of the outfield very perceptibly, Dooley will play left, Stockwell right and Dungan will be retained in center. The infield will remain the same for the present. Daddy Hayes writes that he is playing a great game with Port Townsends. which team has been very successful in the games played with Victoria and other adjacent cities. The team is made up of the following players, some of whom are well known to local patrons: Lauge, oatcher; Pardee and Huber, pitcher; PendegaBt, first base; Hulin, oecond base; Riderback, third base; Hayes, short shop; Onar; lef t field; Sisely, center field; Nolan, right field. 1890 ^Ix* ftmfe awtl j& ptfrtsmatu 79 Yonng McHale's 6elrtiog is creating considerable favorable comment in baseball circles. This young mans work in the right garden has been most meritorions and his stick work is on a par with his almost phenomenal Helding. Mac lacks a little judgment in running bases bnt nnder the mentorship of the effloient Stapleton he will soon brighten in this im- portant department. As it is he is conceded to be the great- est right fielder in the league and bids fair to be one of the most successful of California's many star players. The nobby and dashing Senators iu their bright attractive tight 6tting jerseys present a striking contrast against the dismal seedy looking "sloppy weather" uniforms worn by the home team. Sarely the team that represents the metrop- olis of the Pacific should be thoroughly and tastefully equipped and nothing gives the playrs a prsttier.more grace- ful or more athletic appearance than the Btylish close fitting jerseys The loose, slouchy, "ham fat song and dance" style of uniform is now out of date and Finn Bhouid fall in line by procuring for bis men a couple of s*:ts of new attire. The old ones might be utilized for practice or bnried and the Jon- ah with them . It is said that there is a scheme on foot to put a players' League Club in Cincinnati and to transfer "Ward's team to Baltimore or some other Eestern city. Ewing and Ward are eager to place a club in Cincinnati. Stern won't figure in the new deal. The present Buffalo Club, strengthened by men from the other teamB, will constitute (he new Cincinnati Club. If the deal goes through, this will be the probable make up of the Cincinnati team: Faatz or Carney, first base; Wise, second base; Kowe, short stop; "White, third base: Beecher, left field; Hoy center field; Brown, of Boston, right field; Kilroy, Haddock, Cunningham and Feraon, pitchers; Mack, Clark and Barling, catchers, with Gil Hatfield as an extra man. Ward's idea is to get Barnie to join forces with him, and then have a clear field in Baltimore. He would utilize Kay and Power of the present Baltimore Club of the Atlantic Association if Barnie consented. The hitch in the deal is Barnie, who haB a promise from the National League to see him out next season. — Exchange. The Amateurs. Games Played by the California Amateur League- The poBitioDS remain unchanged, but the -result of the games of last Sunday has had the effect of bunching the teams of the first division more ck>3ely, while in the second Bection the Vallejos and Burlingtons are almost tie. The Reports still lead followed by Santa Rosa and "Will & Fink, then comes a big gap with Vallejo and Burlingtons in the 4C0 line, and the Aliens stationed at the bottom of the list. WILL AND FINCKS vs DAILY REPORTS. Sunday, July 27tu, 1890, at Haight St. At 10 a. -M. Umpire Evatt called '-play ball" at the Haight St. grounds, the game being between the Reports aod Will Fincks and originally scheduled for Santa Rosa, the directors of the league however permitting the change of grounds. The game, although only seven innings was a very pretty one.the hitting of the Giants being very strong and the fielding of both teams exceptionally clever. Eddie Howell pitched a wonderf q1 game, the heavy hitting Reports getting bnt (oar safeties of him, one of which was a three base shot by Sharp. Monet was sized np freely, F. Delmas aod Billings eaoh get- ting three hits the former including a home run and the lat- ter a triple. The base playing of Deeney, L. Delmas, Sharp and Creamer, the backstop work of both catchers, Howell's pitching and the heavy hitting already Doted were the bright and interesting features of the contest.

Tufts, the Marines new twirler, was batted heavily for six innings, and this, conpled by several glaring errors, gave the Railroaders an easy victory. Baltz, who has been pitching winning ball right along this season, pitched the game out, but the Burlingtons had seeured too great a headway to be overtaken. Walcott twirled a very satisfactory game, and with occasional exceptions, his support was excellent. There were many fine features in this game, prominent among which was the clean and hard hitting of Maguire, Coughlin and Flemming, the clever base running of Hughes and Brad- ley, Mulford's tine work behind the bat, the wonderful field- ing of Dick Wise in left, and the smart and at times brilliant infield work of Bradley. Coughlin, Dunn, Fleming and Mur- dock. Cates' umpiring was satisfactory. The score: BlIBLTNGXONS.

Although outfielded and ootbatted, the Santa Bosas won this game principally throngh Dempeey's unintentional kind- ness in awarding them twelve baseB on balls. A big crowd, composed of noisy constituents of both teams, witnessed the game which was almost devoid of aDy Bpecial features. At the close of the fourth inning the score stood in favor of the Sports six to four, but in the filth the Sonoma boys tied them, and in the sixth won by getting seven men across the plate on three Bingles, three bases on balls, a wild pitch and a couple of errors. At critical times it seemed almost impossible for Demp3ey to get the ball over the plate, while on the other hand Callen was very Bteady However, the Sports secured Borne good stiff punches off him. Van Haltren Evatt, Buckley aod Broderick banging out some awful long shots. Stulz, of the Santa Bosas, also hit hard and safely. The fieWiDg was very ordinary, errors in throw- ing helping the run column considerably. On account o£ the game commencing so late but bis innings were played, which waB very unsatisfactory all around.

The poor showing he niaae however was not on account of inability but was entirely due to lack of control superinduced by nervousness. When Agnew overcomes this most demor- alizing defeot and gets a few weeks practice he'll surprise the knowiDg oneB. At a meeting held by the League on Tuesday evening, the 2"ud inst., at the Burlington Eoute office, it was decided that pitcher John Eohau and catcher Horace Wilds were eligableto play with any team they fligned with, as the charges of their conspiring to throw the Vallejo-Santa Eosa rami of May 4th were not substantiated. Managers Gage and Sheridan of the Burlingtons are now negotiating for their services and undoubtedly will secure them. In their nositions they are the strongest unsigned players within a ra- dius of a hundred miles, and the Burlingtons will be very materially strengthened by their acquisition. There is a movement on foot to revive theintereat in strict- ly amateur base ball, and to further tbis end a number of society gentlemen are now actively engaged in organizing the teams that last spring constituted the Pacifac Amateur League Mr Boyd, who for past seasons has successfully managed the E. and O. Es., has secured many of his former nla-sers aod with the new accessions will have a formidable team in the field. The Eeliance Club of Oakland, under the management of Mr. J H. Ames, the University at Berkeley, and quite possibly a team from San Rafael, with Mr. W. B. Bourn aB a leading spirit, will complete the League. The E and O E's. and Reliance teams.between which the strong- est bnt goodnatnred rivalry has always existed, will play a preliminarv game at the Emery grounds this afternoon. The makeups of the teamB are as follows: E and O. E's. Positions. Reliance. Belcher Pitcher McGowan Stanley Catcher Murphy lovd First base Drum S°yelB„ Second base Clement V " !y Third base Downey Sf sawa1 ass*. There is trouble iu the Amateur Leaene. The closeness of the race between the three leaders — Reports, Saota Rosas and "Will & Finks — has caused the managers to be alive to their interests, and already there are two or three games to be fought over again by the managers before President Gage at the meeting of the Directors Saturday night. The Will and Finck— Santa Rosa game played Jnly 4th at Santa Rosa will be a matter of important consideration as it involves the questions— Whether or not two managers can themselves arrange (o play off a postponed game without the sanction of the Directors of the League; and secondly, Whether the manager of an interior team can break away from his agreement viz: To pay the visiting team fifty per cent of the net proceeds of the gate of all championship games. According to the most authentic statements in this instance, Managers Grace and Warren agreed to play off a postponed game on the above named date, Grace goaranteing Thirty Dollars to Warren as his^sbare of the gate receipts, claiming that he could afford no more there being many pub- lic attractions at San ta Riga which would cause the patronage of the game to be very light. However jost the opposite was the case, the ball game baing the principal event of the day. and the gate receipts being some where in the neighborhood of Two hundred and forty dollars. Accordiog to the agree- ment of the League, of this amount Twenty dollars should be first deducted for management expenses (?) Thirteen dollars of the remainder to be allowed the visiting team for trans- portation, and of the remainder twenty per cent be again de- ducted for ground expenses, the balance to be eqnally divid- ed between the two contesting teams. Accordingly for this game Warren under the league agreement was entitled to about Ninety five dollars {including his railroad fares) but re- ceived only Seventeen as his net share. This was unques- tionably a rather reprehensible bit of mercenary manceuveriDg on the part of the Santa Rosa management and when ques- tioned about it Warren declares that Grace vowed it was but an exhibition game and coniequeutly he was not bound to his agreement made to the League. This was "cold comfort" for Warren and although he felt that he had not been hon- orably treated nevertheless said but little about it. However Grace now claims that it was a championship game and wants credit for it. How he can claim it to be a championship game and also claim the entire gate receipts, less thirty dollars, is a matter that should not take the Directors long to decide upon. Another matter to be decided will be the protested Report — Santa Rosa game of July 7th which was won by the score of 5 to 4, and which Manager Grace protested on account of Mulvey, a catcher of the Burlington team, playing with the Report team in the field. It has been clearly shown through these columns, backed by tlie official score, that Mulvey's work on this occasion was, if anything, detrimental to the success of the Reports although he secured two hits neither one of which, however, had any effect in the run getting. In truth, Ashman's team was incomplete this day, several of his men being away, and preferring to give a player in the league (whose tham had an off day) a chance instead of an outsider, asked if Mulvey would fill in. This has been a very cammon practice among the amateur teams of this Lbagne when any of their players were absent, and several cases of the same kind can be introduced as evidence that Ashman was merely following a rule which we might say has been established by precedence. Grace, however, has the name of being a hard loser, and although his team was out-played and outfielded iu every point of the game (the official score showing thirteen errors for the Santa Rosas) brings forward tbis feeble pretext for a protest. The matter was prematurely laid before Mr Mone, who evi- dently thinking that there was no Board of Directors in the Amateur League, and possibly without ascertaining whether or not the protest could rightfully be claimed, decided it in favor of Santa Rnsa. The Manager* of the teams who are the Directors of the League, justly claim that this was a rather unwarranted proceeding inasmuch as they themselves have the power to arbitrate their own affairs. Mone's decision was therefore declared unconstitutional, and must be con- sidered as void. The Directors themselves will pass on the matter this evening. It is qnite probable that the schedule will be revised as the arrangement of games under the existing one seeme des- tined to disrupt the league. Already there has been much grumbling occasioned by a considerable loss of money and time to the local teams, whereaB the proposed change will be most beneficial to all concerned.

Does Wood Care Contribute to Loog JLUe and Protracted Virility? 1 Sajt Francisco, July 28, 1S90. To the Editor:— I start out upon this errand of inquiry without the slightest ill-feeling toward any living being. In the tables of longevity which form a part of this article, I have included nothing but thoroughbred sires, for the simple reason that I am not sufficiently familiar with trotters to enable me to write authentically. As most of your readers are aware, I have jast returned from my second visit to the Australian colonies, where I have seen some of the grandest stallions and mares in the world— horses which, while they are generally inferior to ours in the aristocratic appearance which the popular mind is wont to associate with the thoroughbred horse, are vastly saperior to curs in bone and substance. Yet what impressed me most, in reading over the turf and stud history of the great South Continent, was the short-lived career of most of their famous stallions. Of their mares, in this respect, I took less note, but I am satisfied that it is true in a still greater degree. I saw mareB of unparalleled purity of lineage, grand- daughters of Stockwell, Newminster, Rataplan, Kingston, WeBt Australian and Beadsman, running in mucky pastures amid pouring showers of rain, and never fed a mouthful of grain from one year's end to another. It is a rare thing for a mare to live to twenty years of age, or bear a foal after fifteen. Of course this is the result of neglect. Perhaps I ought not to have too much to say in this vein, because I have some personal friendB in this State whose horses have been, iu days gone by, most pitifully neglected. The stallionB I saw there were taken care of in jast about the Banie style as those at Del Paso — or as I would have cared for them had they belonged to me. Fed on eight quartB per day during the greater portion of the year, and all the lucerne hay they could eat — and twelve quarts of oat* during tho months of September, October, November and December, they certainly aie not starved at any time of year. For exercise they are turned into small corrals and let out to pky about for four or five hours. Certainly this way of oaring for horses coald not well be improved upon. Yet- while there have been twice as many thoroughbred horses imported into the colonies as into the United States in the last century, the showing is greatly in favor of America. The appended table gives the names, pedigrees and ages at death of some of the prominent Australian stallions which have lived beyond 20 years. The native sires are marked with a star.

I am not well enough versed in Australian tnrf matters to claim anything like infallibility in a matter of this sort; and I have been so muoh oat of American racing affairs for the past twelve years that I could not compile a perfect list of obitoaries. But I give it so that people can add the ages together and obtain the average by dividing the amount by the number of horseB mentioned. Of the forty-one horses in the American table, 18 died in Kentucky, 5 in California, and the rest iu other States. Between old American Eclipse and Yorkshire is an interval of four years that some per- son better informed than myself ought to be able to fill. Perhaps my old friend, Mr. W. M. Williamson, of San Jose, might be able to supply the deficiency. There must be nearly as large a list of those which I have omitted. Unless I am very badly mistaken, Revenue lived to be over twenty years old, as did Vandal, Red Eye, King- fisher, Jack Malone and that almost forgotten hero, Trustee. Of those living that are over the meridian of 20. I can enu- merate Joe Daniels, Pat Malloy, The 111 Used, Longfellow, Enquirer, Great Tom, Hyder Ali and many others, not for- getting Glenelg. The fact that so many of our native stallions are valuable sires after 20 years of age, while horses of the same age in Australia are either dead or become impotent, is a matter worth something beyond casual scrutiny. Glencoe was 26 years old when be got Panio, who beat Planet at heats of three miles; also Bertha McGavock, a good nag at mile heats. Lexington was 24 when he got Uncas, and Leamington got Girofle and Lrlaps at 24. American Eclipse must have been, past the latter age when he got Zenith; and the Bonnie Scot- land family may afford something more interesting than what I have already recited and on which I should like to hear from Gen. Jackson. T. B. Merry. From Santa Rosa. Santa Rosans love good horses quite as well as any people in California, and while they may not make so much noise about their horses as some of their neighbors, yet they have a very "fair sprinklin" of them, and they are not adverse to having them noticed in the Breeder and Sportsman. Santa Rosa has one of the best appointed driving parks in the State, and while it is owned by the Pierce Bros , yet it is so generally used by Santa Rosans, that it has become recognized as a Santa Rosa institution There are about seventy-five horses in training there now, and among them are some distined to shine in the annuals of horse history. Pierce Bros, have the largest string. They are under the care and training of Thomas Bonner, one of the most capable men on the coast. All of bis horses are in excellent condi- tion. He is giving them plenty of work, and they are show- ing the results of his fine handling, Bay Rose has the post of honor, being kept in the handsome pavillion. He looks every inch a king, and is steadily recovering from the injury received in San Francisco some time ago.

Many times we have been asked to give a history of Todhunter's Mambrino, as his blood is to be found in quite a number of pedigrees in this State. In answer to a letter sent by Mr, Wallace. George W. Greever has written as fol- lows: Mr. Editor: — Yours of the ninth lost, has just been re- ceived, and I wish I could convey to yon just how I feel after reading a letter from one who has the ability to carry my mind back over the very best part of my life in so few words,, and recall so forcibly the very circumstances in whioh I took so much pride. It comes so forcibly that I stop and say here a link is gone, and there is just the link in the chain that Mr, Wallace desires to have complete. I bought Mambrino Chief of old Mr. Parker E. Todhunter in January, 1S62, and he was then in his seventh year, aa the old gentleman told me. He also told me that my horse was the tirBt foal sired by Mambrino Chief after he landed at Ashland, the home of Mr. James B Clay, near Lexington, Ky. Idol was the next, as he bred the first two mares to old Chief after he reached Kentucky, and my horse wsb two days older than Idol. Now a link is gone. Old Mr. Tod- hunter is dead but I give you his esact statement. I know of my own knowledge that the horse was then called "Tod- hunter's Mambrino. Now whether the Todhunter family had a younger horse than the one I bought that they also called Todhunter's Mambrino, I am not prepared to say. You ought to be the very best authority on that, as yon commenced your work in the sixties, and all these years I have been laboring to get the people of the West to breed a better class of stock, and have not given so muoh attention to the East. The first season I owned Mambrino Chief I called him Mambrino Chief Jr., then I called him Greever's Mambrino until he died. Now my recollection is that Mr. Todhunter told me that he had been used in the stud lightly from a three-year-old. Beneficial Exercise. I remember of reading somewhere of an English gentleman who was an enthusiastic lover of the thoroughbred, and to gratify his taste bought a farm in this country and stocked it with splendidly-bred horses of the most noted running strains of blood. This gentleman was not of a sporting turn of miod. He bred borees for the pleasure of breeding them, and never ran them in races. Many years after the breeding farm started some gentlemen from New York learned of the choice stock on the farm and purchased some of the horses. They were all that could be desired in point of breeding, but they lacked, when the test came, the ability to ran a race, and why? They had grown up for several generations with- out calling into use the very quality for which they had been bred, that is, swiftness at the run, and by that great law of nature, the law of disuse, they had lost the fleetnesB for which the original stocK had been noted. Strap a man's arm by his side long enough and he will cease to have con- trol and use of it. I think a lesson may be drawn from this for tbe breeder of trotting horses, and that great as is the success in breeding trotters on the many breeding farms, it might be greater if brood mares and stallions in service were kept through their lives at work at the gait they are bred to produce. If it were not for the practice of trotting stallions in order to give them faBt records we might find ourselves in the same fix the Englishman experienced. It is, of conrse, impracticable to drive the large number of brood-mares in use on a breeding farm, but the same end might be attained by the use of an exercising lot in which they could be turned each day and given sharp practice at the trotting gait. Snch exercise could not be without its efl'ect on the progeny of the animal so haudled, and besides that a colt foaled by n mare so developed would be more likely in turn to produce fast trotters thau would a colt equally well bred from parents living a life of inactivity. Fast trotting i* an acquired habit, and such habit is intensified when the parents for generations are exer- cised at that way of going. This is the reason trotting horses of speed are bred with more certainty now than in former days. It is worthy of note that the dams of the founders of tho Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief families cf trotting horses were famous road mares, and I believe not a little of the great success of Hambletonian 10 nnd Mam- brino Chief is to be attributed to the road qualities of the Kent mare and of the dam of Mambriro Chief, intensified aa it was by their use on the road. If I were breeding to a stallion I would give the preference to one out of a dam that had been worked to light harness over one out of a mare that had roamed at will in tbe pasture, without being taught to go fast at the trotting ^ait.— Horse Review.

One of the annual events to which all breeders of thoroughbreds on the Pacific Coast look forward to is the annual closing of the fixed events for future meet ing of the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association. In the appropriate column will be found an announcement from the Directors thereof, statiDg that they have opened up eight stakes for the years 1891 and '02. These stakes close on August 15, 1890, so there is but lit- tle time to lose by those who propose to make nomina- tions therein. For the spring meeting of 1891 we find the California Stakes for two-year-olds and the Racine StakaB for foals of a like age. For the fall meeting of 1891 there are the Ladies' Stakes for two-year old fillies and the Autumn Stakes for two-year-old foals of 1889- For the spring meeting of 1892 there are the Tidal and the Pacific Derby, each for three-year-olds, and for the fall meeting of 1^92 we find the Vestal Stakes for three- year-old filliea and the Fame Stakes for three-year-old foals. As will bo seen, these stakes are all for foals of 1SS9, colts and fillies rating now as yearlings, and an- other rule which those who would enter must be sure ind carry out is that all horses must be named. Bone in Thoroughbreds. The Australian colony of the New South "Wales has more Rataplan blood than can be found in all America, through three sons and five grandsons in the male line, while he waB represented by five daughters, seven grand- daughters in the male line and nine in the female line- Stockwell was, as the reader is aware, an own brother to Rataplan. Ho ib represented much more widely in Victoria than in the elder colony, but Australia is full of Stockwell blood as the following table will show: Sire. Sons. Daughters. Stockwell 6 8 Blair Athol 5 13 St. Albans 3 5 Loiterer 4 1 Caierer 2 1 Doncaster 3 11 Lord Lyon 2 4 Ace of Clubs 2 7 Knoweley 1 3 The Marquis 9 26 Stockowner 1 4 Thunderboldt 0 1 38 74 Now, while Stockwell was never deficient in bone, and was one of the foremost horses of the world in the way of muscular substance, yet he was vastly inferior in bone to mo3t of his Australian descendants — notably, Malua, Bowmont, Grand Flaneur, Cardigan, Matador, Chester, Abercorn and Roodee. The first and last on this list have bone heavy enough for anything short of cart sires. The natural inference is, therefore, that the limestone soil upon which these horses were bred, has had every- thing to do with this manifest increase of "timber" under the animal. Musket was a horse of only average bone, yet some of his descendants (especially Trenton, Nordenfelt and Cuirassier) are among the heaviest boned sires alive. When old Preakness, the hero of the ever memorable dead heat for the Saratoga Cup, was taken over to Eng- land for turf sport, a cry went up from the breeders that we were going to lose the best boned thoroughbred stal- lion in America. Now, if Preakness were to be led out upon an Australian race-ccurse, he would attract no special attention in this respect. The Australian thor- oughbred is so heavy and substantial in build, that he looks more like a hunter than a turf horse. A good con- trast may be had at the Haggin ranch, between Darebin and the black horse Hidalgo, by Joe Daniels. The latter shows the most quality, undeniably. But we contend that Darebin is a lasting benefit to this country, even if he never gets a first class turf performer from now till the day of his death. He will leave an impress upon the stock of America that half a century will not efface. That there has been a decadence of bone in the Amer- ican thoroughbred in the past sixty years, is evident from a perusal of the measures of American Eclipse. Then he was a well-boned horse though hardly excep ■ tioual. Now we do not find one horse in forty that will show such a set of measures. The answer to all in- quiries on this subject can only be had by a close perusal of the tabulated pedigrees of most of our fashionably- bred native racehorses. They will be found to contain two, and often three, crosses of Lexington and from six to ten crosses of Diomed. Not hut that is very desirable blocd to have in a horse but the line of in-breeding has been altogether too close in the past twenty years. New and vigorous outcrosses arc needed to remedy this plain and patent defect; and as the Australasian colonies have heavier boned horses than ours, bred up from the very best and most enduring strains of English blood, it is natural that we should look to the colonies, rather than the mother country, for a reinforcement of bone. In importing his brood mares from the colonies, Senator Rose has merely discounted the future of the thoroughbred horse in the United States. The Overland Park Clab. One of the most successful racing organizations in the WeBt is the Overland Park Club of Denver, Col., whose bi yearly meetings are largely attended, and the entries to stakes and purses usually very numerous. During the early summer meeting of this year, quite a number of California horseB were represented, and considerable money won for the stables which participated there. As there are a goodly number of California horses in the East now, both thoroughbreds and trotters, it is more than likely that a large number of entries will be made by those who will return to winter in this State. In our advertising columns will be found an announcement of a meeting to take place from October 4th to llth inclus- ive, entries to which will close on August 16th. Iu a private letter from Secretary Hall, he state.-; that in addi- tion to the purses offered in the present issue, there will be liberal pursnR given for all classes of trotters and pac- ers; at le<*sf $12,000 will bn given in stakes aod purses, consequently we may readily suppose that the entry list will be a large one. Horsemen should bear in mind that entries close on Saturday, August 16th, Major T. W- Doswell. The death of this well-known stock-breeder and typi. cal Southern gentleman, removed the last of the Old Guard of American turf men who raced only for reputa- tion and to whom the pecuniary value of a purse or stake was a secondary consideration. He was born in Hanover county, Virginia, and had reached the ripe age of 6S years at the time of his demise. Thirty years ago when Planet, Exchequer and Fanny "Washington were in their bloom, he was at the head of the American turf beyond all dispute. From 1858 to 1862 his stable won more races above two miles than any other three stables in America. From the Connecticut to ths Mississippi, his victorious colors flashed in the van at every track. There came the great civil war and racing ceased to be a feature of Southern life. The galloping squadrons of Morgan, Early and Mosby were mounted upon the descendants of Glencoe and ' Sir Archy; and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the old Major strug- gled vainly to restore the old colors of the Bullfield stud to their pristine supremacy. Anew order of things had sprung up during the "great unpleasantness." The old time races, at heats of three and four miles, had been supplanted by short dashes and the veteran owner of Planet was a fading and obscured star. Of late years the Major has been seen but little at the great racing contests at Long Branch and Saratoga. Comparatively poor in worldly goods, he died rich in the esteem of those whose motto is "first, if with honor," and who prize sterling manhood. His gallant old rivals had all preceded him across the shadowy river, and it was fit that he should join them. The scholarly Bingaman, the true-hearted and modest Alexander, the erratic Clay, the polished and graceful Kenner and the intensely practical Minor, had all answered the sum- mons of the Great Judge and started for the goal whence none return. The old man was the last link in a famous chain of superb manhood, and as his life was gentle, so the end came to him as the guerdon of eternal peace.

THIRD DAT. The third day of the Detroit races was by all odds trie beBt of the meetiDg. The grand stand was full before the hour set for the races, and hundreds of ladies were forced to stand on the quarter-stretch and in the track iuolosure. The weather conditions were simply perfect nntil late, when rain fell in sheets. The track was a little heavy. The first event of the programme was the finish of the Merchants and Man- ufacturers' §10,000 stake, with nine in the field. The talent was a little puzzled because Turner was not behind Soisun, the favorite, he having gone to Pittsburg to trot a raca there, bo Marvin took his place behind the Electioneer mare; how- ever, the change was not of any benefit as Waller E. had no difficulty in winning the 5th and 7th heats, Playboy taking the 6ih. In the last three heats Saisun was 3rd in each. Merchants and Manufacturers Guaranteed Srakes, 2:24 class; trot- ting; purse ?10,00J.

The remarkable event of the day was Snnol's performance for the half mile. Charles Marvin was behind the wonder, and sent her away on the first trial. Like a machine, the beautiful filly worked to the three-quarters without the whip. At the three-quarter pole a running horse was wait- ing for her. Shortly before the distance stand was reached Marvin began to drive for all he was worth. A mighty cheer broke from the stand as it became apparent that the filly was doing the fastest half that had ever been done by a trotting horse. As she neared the wire, with never a break or skip, all could see that the record was doomed. The crowd stood up and yelled like one man when it became known that she had made the half mile in 1:02£. The Horseman's Great Expectation Stake for four-year- olds, purse §9,500 was the occasion of rive starters coming to the wire, Margaret S. representing the Pleasanton entry while Navidad had been entered from Palo Alto. It was the concensus of opinion that the contest would lie between Margaret S. and AUerton, and that the public was not wrong was shown in the fact that in the first heat Sir Walter Scott, Baroness and Navidad were distanced, and by many it was even thought that Allerton should have shared the same fate, as it was. Mar aret S. won in 2;18£. Notwithstanding this fact Allerton was still a strong favor- ite in the pools before the second heat, aud that he had lots of speed could not be gainsaid, as he won after a hard con- test in 2;16£. This race was now postponed until the fol- lowing day, but one heat of the free fur-all pacing race was had, Adonis winning more than easy in 2;16£. The Fourth Day. There were present to-day between 5000 and 6000 persons, and the sport was of such a sensational nature that all the spectators were satisfied. Truly it was a great day for Cal- ifornia horses, and those who were there from the Coast re- tired in the very best of spirits. The opening event of the day was for a purse of $2000 for the Free-For-AU pacera which bad been left undecided from the day beford. When the word was given Hickok went to the front and was soon two lengths ahead of his competitors; on entering the stretch Hickok took the outside of the track instead of the pole, as the going was just a little better there, this gave Grey Harry probably a little advantage and he was soon on even terms with Adonis, but Adonis passed under the wire first winning the third heat and race by half a length. Time 2:20f. Hickok sent Adonis out for the third heat and took no chance. He was on even terms with Harry nntil the one- half was reached, when Adonis went away and won as he pleased by a length and a half. Hickok kept the pole this trip. Time, 2:18$. BOM MARY.

The third heat of the Horseman's Expectation Stake for four- year-olds, was the second event on the programme, and Al- lerton was a strong favorite at $25 to §>S for Margaret S- Allerton's appearance was all that could be desire'!, and the fact that he was the only one not shut out the day before, Beemed to have made him a big favorite with the crowd pres- ent, and on his first appearance was loudly applauded, and Williams had to doff his cap repeatedly in answer to the ap- plause. When the word was given, McDowell pushed Margaret S. to the front, and at the quarter pole she was four leogthB in the lead, which advantage Bhe maintained to the half. As they entered the stretch, the gap betweeu them seemed about the same, but Williams began pushing the stallion, and com- ing down the stretch he gave a wonderful exhibition of hia ability. At the distance stand he was on McDowell's wheel, and by an electrical bur^t of speed, fairly flew under the wire, beating the filly by a head. Time. 2:18}. Allerton was now a very strong favorite, and everybody ex- pected that the next heat would finish the race.

The race was a terrific one, and it seemed anybody's race to the distance, but the filly, by a seemingly superhuman effort, poked her head under the wire first and won in 2:23£. She was loudly applauded for her very game efforts. This was slow time for two such horses, but it must be remembered that the track was in a very bad condition owing to the rain, and many good horsemen present con- sidered a course fully eight seconds Blow. For the laBt heat Allerton waB still the favorite, the odds eing$50 to $25. When Andy McDowell and Williams brought out the horses for the concluding heat, botn nav- mg now two each to their credit, liberal ap- plause greeted each of them. McDowell immediately on getting the word, sent the filly up ahead and "Williams drove Allerton a little faster so as not to allow the filly to open saoh a gap; just as a tight race seemed probable, Aller- ton broke badly and McDowell went away head, WilliamB seemed unable to steady the coli but at last succeeded in do- ing so, but for a few seconds oDly, as before the quarter was reached Allerton again broke.

The Free-For-All trotting race for a purse of $3000 had only three starters, Palo Alto, Susie S. and Honri. The Palo Alto representative was the favorite selling at $50, the two mares selling at $25 each. When the word was given they got away in splendid shape, Susie creeping rapidly to the front and at the quarter she was a length ahead of Palo Alto; Honri broke badly at the half-mile pole and was soon out of it as far as the first heat was concerned; at the three- quarters post Palo Alto was at the mare's wheel, in the stretch Electioneers great son came up steady and strong, winning by three lengths. Time 2:15i, which was remark- ably good time, considering the extremely bad condition of the track. There was but very little betting done for the second heat; all got away in particularly good shape. At the quarter pole the California horse waB in the lead, Susie on his wheel and Houri three lengths in the rear; at the half-mile pole Palo Alto and SuBie were on even terms but at this point Marvin's horse broke badly and before he settled, SuBie was four lengths ahead. On the upper turn Palo Alto settled down and proceeded to close the gap,still the mare made a gallant effort to hold her advantage but the California horBe was too fleet of foot and beat her to the wire by a length in 2:17. Pala Alto made Bhort work of tbe third and last heat; at the quarter he was a half length to the good, and by about the same distance at the half, as they turned to go into the upper turn, the three were neck and neck but here SuBie dropped back and Honri gave Palo Alto a good race in the stretch. However, the brown mare finished very soon and Marvin had no trouble in coming in a half dozen lengths ahead. Time. 2;16J. BUM MARY. Palo Alto, b h, by Electioneer, dam Dame Winnie, Chaa. Marvin.

A Clabroogh hammerless gun: cost $45; No. of gun 4303, weight 7 lbs. 7 oz.; length of barrels 30 inches: gauge 12; both barrels f nil choked, was recently purchased of Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co of this city by Major S. I. Kellogg. whose tests of the weapon indicated such excellence that he sent it to be carefully patterned and shot at penetration sheets on the Forest and Stream range at Claremont, N. T., by Superintendent Moss. Wood, Schultze and two makes of black powder were tried, aDd four sizes of shot. The gun was shot from a rest, those at each range being all fired without cleaning. The shooting of the arm was very satis- factory throughout, tbe average work with black powder be- ing a little better than with Wood or Schultze. Shot manu- factured by the Selby Company was used throughout and the shells were loaded at Port Costa by means of the Cham- berlin loader. Thefollowtng data indicate the thorough- ness of the test and its general character, with shot of differ- ent sizes, all of the tests being equally thorough.

Hotel Del Monte and Monterey generally were enliverjed on Friday and Saturday last by the presence of the country Club in full shooting array, the occasion of the visit being a tournament at pigeons open only to members of the club. A very fine pigeon shooting ground had been laid off a short distance from the hotel, and early on Saturday the members of the club wandered over to the ground and were marshalled into teams by Messrs. A. C. Tubbs and F. R. Webster acting as captains, Captain Tubbs selecting Messrs. D. B. Gillette, Chas. Josselyn. R. B. Woodward, D. T. Murphy, W. B. Tubbs, C.B. Worden and J. D. ReddiDg, while Capt. Web- ster chose E. X. Preston, W. H. Woodward. F. L. Wooster, Geo. Crocker, F. W. Tallant, J. A. Robinson and Alex. Ham- ilton. Capt. Tubbs' team did the better shooting and won out of hand. The prizes for individual scores were distrib- uted as follows: First to Mr. R. B. Woodward, second to Mr. F.R. Webster, third to Mr. J. D. Redding, fourth to Mr. F. W. TallaDt, and fifth to Mr. W. B. Tubbs. Mr- J. K. Orr acted as referee, Mr. C. E. Worden as field oaptain and Secretary J. M. Quay as scorer. The day was tine, birds good and the shooting folly up to the high mark set hereto- fore by the Club. The tournament was the first that we re- call where the shooting was done to a brilliant musical ac- companiment by a full band. A New Explosive. "Bird Cradles." Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Scribners Magazine for July contains an article entitled ''Bird CradleB", by W. Hamilton Gibson, The author writes in a popular way of the situations selected and material employed in the construc- tion of the nests of several Eastern and one Western bird. The latter, Allen's Hummingbird (Trochilus alltni) is said to have been described by Dr. Brewer, whereas it was described by Mr. Henshaw. and the types are now in the British Museum. The author however, may have intended to credit Dr. Brewer with the description of the neat which follows. The paper adds popular interest by the use of twelve illustrations; the one intending to represent a hum- mingbird sitting upon a nest, being perhaps the most liable to adverse criticism from a technical point of view. Orni- thologists— the scientific ones — will scarcely coincide with the author in his implied opinion that the volition of a bird has any part in the selection of scraps of printed paper, in regard to the sentiment of the printed matter. Experiment will show as nests have already done, that the most obscene and sacrilegiouB literature will just as readily be employed in the structure as ones with seemingly appropriate topics Bnch as "Home Protection", "Free Raw Material" etc. That some Bpecies of birds exhibit a preference for certain materials is well known, and many will travel considerable distance to obtain those fragments by which the nests of some species may always be recognized, but the rule is that the nest is composed of such material as is nearest and easi- est to secure* A quantity of cow hair when found in a nest probably came from the nearest fence, and if the fur of a rabbit or squirrel was found in abundanoe, it would indicate to a soientific mind the presence in the neighborhood of a dead animal- It is more practical to imagine a vireo pa- tiently gleaning amongst ferns the stray hairs "in the track of a coon", than to believe there had been a scrimmage in the dark, leaving several tufts, or that a dead coon close by supplied the warm nest-lining. On the whole, the subject is so pleasing and its importance in ornithology not under- rated, that it is hoped other similar ones may follow by the same author. Walter E. Bryant, California Academy of Sciences. San Franoisco, July 29, 1S90. When was a little story better told than this by our friend of the San Leandro Reporter, about a well known San Fran- oiscan. He says: "Harry Weiss, of San Francisco, was enjoying one of his occasional bunting trips in the wooded hills back of San Leandro last Saturday, when he suddenly found himself confronted by a large, gentlemanly looking oow, which gazed at him with ill-conoealed vexation and unveiled oontempt. Mr. Weiss hastily apologized for his intrusion, and was about to retraoe his steps, when the boorish animal rushed toward him as if to a^Banlt and batter him. At this juncture- Mr. Weiss was Btruck violently by a happy thought, whioh he immediately put into execution. When the animal reached him he sat down firmly on its horns, and as it raised ita head he suffered himself, like Elijah, to ascend upward, until be reached one of the highest limbs of a venerable tree that was standing idly by, where he remained until his new found acquaintance stole away to supper, which occurred some hours later. Had it not been for his rare presence of mind Mr. Weias might have had trouble with the beastly beast." Saint Etienne, near Lyons, France, is the French Spring- field. There are tried and experimented upon all inventions relating to the armament of French troops, and designed to work for French defence what the first instalments of Spring- field guns did for the preservation of the Union. There is a Government manufactory of small armB there as well as many private manufactories of sporting guns. The Chamber of Commerce recently granted to M. Paul Giffard, the inven- tor ot a new gun, a prize of $2,000 and a gold medal, aud trials of tbe new weapon are about to be made io Paris under the direction of the military inspectors. The Giffard gnu uses neither fulminate nor gunpowder, not even tbe so- called "smokeless powder," so much talked about. These are replaced by a sing'e drop of a volatile liquid, which, fall- ing into a closed chamoer behind the projectile, develops by vaporizing a great pressure and thus gives impetus to the projectile. The fluid is a liquefied gas, inclosed in a Bteel cartridge provided with an escape valve regulated by a mov- able screw. By pressing on the hammer the valve is opened and the shot discharged. The cartridge contains 100 grammes of the liquid. Ooe- third of a gramme is a snfhcient charge for one shot in an ordinary hunting gun like the one presented by M. Giffard to the Chamber of Commerce of St. E'.ienne. The same cartridge is good, therefore, for 300 shots. After every shot a new bullet is introduced, but it is certain that a repeating mechanism will soon be added by which tbe supply of bullets will be continuous. There is no fear of overheating the gun, for the Bhooting rather cools it, the expansion of the gas ab- sorbing the caloric, like tbe ammonia in the ice-making ma- chine. Moreover, the liquefied gas does not vaporize in- stantaneously, but expands gradually, so that the projectile acquires its greatest velocity only at the moment of leaving the muzzle of the weapon. Consequently there is nothing to fear from violent and sudden pressure upon the sides of the bore and thus the projectile force can be utilized to the maximum. The detonation is something like that of the uncorking of a champagne bottle, a sharp, short pop, and nothing more. Of course there is no smoke and no fouling of the gun. The liquid by its volatilization gives out no disagreeable odor libs that of the smokeless powder of the Austrian army, which asphyxiated some of the soldiers during the trials in rapid firing. Such is a rough sketch of the new gun. Its real value wilt soon be determined by the trials orJered by the French Government. Shooting and Fishing presents a good likeness of Mr. Marti- nez chick of San Diego, a man fit to shoot in any company, however skillful. An Indian killed an SOO-poand cinnamon bear tbe other day near Nevada City. The beast was after mutton when the herder shot him down.

Kittle was again successful in knocking down a splendid buck on Siturday list. The deer was killed on the Shatter Ranch where Mr. Kittle does most of his Bhoot- ing, and weighed 124 lbs. It was out of velvet. Many deer have been killed during the season in the Liv- ermore range. Three young gentlemen of Livermore retartieT on Wednesday of last week with a lo.*d of meat from th vicinity. They were E. S. Smalley, John Haines and Chs. Allen. Mr. Will Chiles of St. Helena has fairly earned a premie position among tbe deer hunters in the State. Every summa he takes a four-horse outfit into Mendocino aud Humbold counties and loads it with jezked venison, bear meat and pelb of various sorts, and all for the sake of sport. Mr. C. W. Budd writes from Des Moines, Iowa, to Major S. I. Kelloeg, of the Selby Smelting and Lead Company, as followB: "With the shells you sent me, I won the Smith trophy at Davenport, Iowa, during our State shoot, getting 19 out of 20 targets; and Mr. Hughes and myself won the State Team Trophy, I using your shells and killing my 11 birds straight." * Mr. Ramon E.WilBon'returned from Webber lake on Monday last looking the picture of health and happiness. Be reports his two weeks spent there in company with Mr. S. B. White- head and other keen anglers as having been most delightful. The fishing was only fair, the season being so late. A deer was killed, however, aud such fish as were taken were of good size. We learn that the Country Club has completed ita arrange- ments with the owners of tbe Shatter Kaocho, in Matin Co., I and will at once enter upon the premises aud begin to im- ( prove thorn. This means the expenditure of many thong- j ands of dollars, the material enhancement of the value of the estate, an increase in the value of surrounding property. greater population in the villages adjacent, and the general 1 benefit of that portion of Marin County. Hon. J. Downey Harvey, Fish Commissioner, returned I during the week from Shovel Creek in Siskiyou and the Kla- ( math, where he iuspeoted the.. State hatcheries, and had a little excellent sport with tbe rainbow trout which are com- I monly to be found there, weighing three pounds and up- wards. He anticipates great succc ss during next season in the hatching of trout. The hatcheries are at last in fairly good working order, and operations will begin with the first ; run in the spring. It is said that Capt. A. B. AndersoD, who is establishing* general breeding kennel at San Gabriel near Los An- geles contemplates sending drafts from his kennel to San Francisco for sale at auction caoh year jost as young horses are sect from great horse breeding establishments. Capt. Anderson already has in his kennel St. Bernards, Pointers, Irish Setters, Fox Terriers, Collies and Fox-hounds, all of them fine specimens of the breeds. Whether his plan of breeding for market will be successful, lime only cm tell, bnj &t all events he will breed carefully and on most fash- ionable lines, We hope he will succeed. 1890 lit* itocto and j$ puriswaw. 85 Mr. Charles Macalester, of Philadelphia, is to shoot a match in San FraDcisco during the present month with some one as yet unnamed.

Wilson, just from Australia, was there full of stories of kangaroo huntiug, boomerang throwing, pheasant shooting, trout fishing in New Zealand, and other like matters. P. D. Linville recited sev- eral chaDters of an early life spent in Sonoma County when deer were thicker than oak trees, and only fat bucks were killed. Mr. Schreiber recounted at length several experiences with rifles of different calibres in justification of his prefer- ence for a 45-90 Winchester, and it must be admitted, was both ingenious and convincing in what he had to say. Jas. Sanderson discussed the varieties of deer to be found on the Pacib'ce Slope, holding that there were at least five instead of , two, the black tail and forked horn as commonly believed. One recital brought out another, and if the various stories could have been caught stenographically, the result would have been worth having. Our English exchanges find pleasure in reproducing all tittle tales of adventure near Western settlement, iu which bears and other beasts of the sort figure, and will find inter* asting matter in the following recital of an event which jccuried near Soqualmie, a beautiful town about twenty miles from Seattle, iu Washington: Mies Carrie Page, a Mr. Shipley and John Home, made a start for their respective claims in the forest, distant five, six md a half and seven miles from Snoqualmie. At the camp of Ur. Faller, a well known settler, the pack trail ceases and ;he "trail" proper commences, so that the pack horse that nad been engaged for the convenience of the lady had to be lispensed with, together with the services of an Indian aelper, hired to carry a load of supplies. The two helpers returned to the city with their horses, and the party for the woods made the best of their way on the "trail." They were ast getting well into the forest again and wereabont to cross i small marshy spot when up started a fine black bear, right tt their very feet. He was either very busy eating or else isleep, probably the latter, or surely he would never have illowed them to approach so close. He scarcely gave so imch as a look around, but made a break for liberty, cross- □g the party's track at right angles, and giving them a good all view. True to the natural instincts of her sex, the lady ;uuld not help noticing his long coat, and the fine, glossy jlack appearance of it The first exclammationfrom the party *as a general one. '"Well, well; to think of a great big fel- ow like that runniDg away from us " For a moment, just a jawing moment, the lady was dubious about proceeding, the light of the animal, his mad rush having, as she said, excited ier, but she determined to go ahead if the men would give ler i ne of the axes they were carrying. This was willingly nrnished, and the journey was completed without further ncident. A few evenings later, while coming through on the rail, the writer ran scobs the old fellow again, but this time id stood, stared right at me without any compromise about t.

True, there is an Occidental oursing Club, the club of the coast, but it never meets on uoday; holds but two coursing meetings per year.one in the pring and oue in the Fall. The Sunday coursing is con- acted by the proprietors of the resorts. What Dog Shows Have Done. No one, we think, who can look back twenty years will deDy that dog shows have been of the greatest service in es- tablishing types of the different breeds and setting up stand- ards of excellence for breeders. In former days, when six- teen or twenty dogs came info the ring it was an easy matter to pick out the prize winners and to dismiss the rest. Now, of course, it is not an uncommon thing to find as many dogs before the judge, and not a bad one in the class. This im- provement has come about throngh dog shows in various ways: first, judges questioned by anxious and disappointed exhibitors have generally been ready to explain what judging meant, and what was required, says the English Kennel Gazette editorially. Many a kindly and useful answer have we had from judges, and many most useful hints have we picked up from them. Exhibitors and visitors, too. have been thrown together, and have learnt that breeding and judging are not pure matters of luck and fancy, and that much matter of scientific interest may be learnt iu the amuse- ment of breeding dogs. Last, but not least, the Press has contributed in no Bmall degree by reports of shows, and much more than these by the correspondence elicited from time to time. At the same time there are certain disadvantages in this constant intercourse beiween lovers of dogs. We are all apt to play at "follow my leader," and many an exhibitor has a prize dog for his kennels simply because he is a prize dog, and without considering at all whether such a sire will suit his strain. So exhibitors meet together to discuss points, and if one strong man has a craze for a particular point he will find many to breed for that point alone, and forget the general in the particular. For instance some one is very keen upon length of head, and insists thut ''the dogs of the present day" are too short and too broad in that point. Many will be inclined to at once rush off to some stud dog recommended by him or by some friend or known to them, and breed for a long head. But tbey too otten don't stop to reflect that they may be sacrificing shoulders, loin and feet by having a dog miserably shaped, but with a fine head. It would be far better to go slower, and to take a dog not so good in this way, but well shaped otherwise. Judges who have a fancy for a particular part of the breed are of course especially responsible, as they are apt to look for one point and not the other. Thus it has undoubtedly, we think, happened in some breeds at any rate too much attention has been paid to some one or two characteristics to the injury of the dog as a whole. Then very often the head if it be good has redeemed a number of defects in body and has secured a bad dog a prize. Nor is this unnaturtl, for the head is, after all. in moEt breedB the essential point, e iDg, as they do. to the surface and exposing at least one-third of their glistening white bodies. It is probable that the fish that furnishes the most sport for the largest number of anglers is the cattish, which has been quite plentiful this season, and famished fun for the small boy and the big one. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences held in this city, Professor Carl Ei enmann gave an interesting talk on salmon and the salmon irout, illustrated by many speci- mens of each, especially the latter, secured during a recent stay at Lake Tahoe. The subject is of special interest as bearing upon troubles that have arisen between the Fish Commission and alleged violators of the law as to what really is a salmon and what a salmon trout. Both fishes belong to the genus Salmonida?, which also includes the white fish and graylings. This genus is noted for the great variability of the species, the ape, season, water, food, kind of bottom, etc. producing such variations that in some cases where a large trout and a small salmon are compared it is almost impossible for any one bat a scientist to distinguish between them. He had been sold a salmon trout for a salmon in the city markets, and the fisherman grew wroth at being told it was the for- mer. At Like Tahne the fishermen divide the trout caught there into seven species, bot the scientist would class them alias of one Rpfcies, differing somewhat in peculiarities at different ages and from local causes. The professor Btflted that the trout were spawning in the lake tliin >ear, whereas tbpy had formerly p^cended the streams for that purpose, and that tbi* might be owing to the extreme height of the water, or to their low temperatare hut the fi-hermen attribute it to the intelligence of tbe fish. The Fish Commission has established box traps at tbe mouths of the streams, in which the fish are caught as they start to the spawning ground, are stripped of th^ir spawn to supply the hatcheries and then returned to the lake To avoid ttr. ■■ unnatural process, the fishermen contend, is the cause of the fish spawning in the lake. 86 %\nt ^xzt&tx nub SfamAsmm. Aug. 2 THE FARM. Breeding Cattle. At a recent meeting of the Shorthorn Breeders' Associa- tion Richard Gibson, of Delaware, Ont., read a valuable paper on "Fancies and Fallacies vs. Experience in Cattle," ■which is worthy the attention of every one who is interested in improved Shorthorn breeding. He said: "We all have onr fancies as to color in cattle. Some ad- mire a roan, others a red. With Hereford breeders, red with white faoe is orthodox; and with Angus men, "black and ail black," is lheir creed. Color may be called a fancy, and so it is Experience says you follow your fancy so long as it is not prejudicial to the animal. That in the Angus or Devon breed, true to color, is certainly not an objection. That the Herefords are better, except for the sake of uniformity, by being so queerly marked, we dcubt, as in our bcyhood's days, as in the early '40's, we well remember the Downtown Grey's, shown by Knight, and Heatii, and Lord Hatherton. That the Shorthorn has suffered much from the red craze cannot be denied. Experience says nothing has done the breeders more harm in these latter days than this foolish de- sire for all red. Fortunately, we have escaped this mania in value to the breeder in making selections for stock purposes- A heavy coarse born may not be desirable, but it is much to be preferred to a light, delicate one. which, especially in bulls, should always be avoided. Many a good animal has been discarded at fairs, throwu out for having a heavy horn, perhaps placed behind a light fleshed one, with a delicate steer's horn, the former carrying many hundred pounds more beef, and in the most valuable parts. Such is surely fallacy. The head is worth but a few cents on the block, but on the living animal what an index to value for breeding purposes! It is said that Mr. Bates fell in love with the Bel- vedere on seeing his head thrust through an open window, and determined to buy him at any cost. What are the fan- cies? In females the most common is the objection to a thick or meaty pouch near the jaws, or what in horses would be called the throat latch. Fancy asks that they shall be well "cut up," or, in other words, the setting of the head must be Blight and slim . Yet experience says this meaty pouch is an indication of a good feeder rather than a defect, and will never be found on a thinned fleshed, ill thriving beast. The common fallacy regarding the heads of bulls is that generally advocated by young and inexperienoed judges. They must be tine and delicate— pretty, as it were. Experi- ence sayB the bead of the male must be masculine, approach- ing coarseness rather than the opposite. It is even so in the human race Where are the pretty men? When you find them they are generally too indolent to know how to amuse themselves. Whereas, look at the leading men of the day. The Disraelis or the Gladstones, the Macdonalds or the Mowats, Carlyle or John Stewart Mill, none of them wou'd ever take a prize in a beauty show. Again, on viewing, an abnormally large brisket, how often do we. hear the remark, "What a grand brisket!" forgetting that it is out of proportion to the loin and ribs, it is a detri- ment rather than a point of excellence. All parts should be evenly balanced, and where one unduly predominates it is not au advantage, and when it occurs in those parts of the animal- where the beef is of the least value, as in the brisket; it is still more objectionable. Experience correctly says, a long prominent brisket addB to the weight of low priced beef, whereas a broad, deep chest indicates a strongly-constituted, vigorous animal. The shoulder, although one of the most important parts of the animal, is not often troubled with the fancy peculiari- ties though no doubt many of ub have beard of the remark, "What a great front, as wide as a barn!" If we examine this wonder closely, we shall see a wide, prominent, rough shoulder, luobing as if it had been 'stuck on afterwards, and by a very poor workman. Experience points out that, on standing in front of an animal, the shoulder points should be completely covered by the neck vein, gradually swelling out like the bows of a ship, without any protuberance of hollows, until they are sunk or gradually absorbed by the chest, chin and ribs, bo that the eye cannot detect where the one ends and the other begins. The shoulder itself should be smooth, equally covered with flssh, not put on in rolls, as so often seen. It is true that from the neck and shoulder do not come the choicest cuts, and every butcher knows that there iB a lot difference between the quality of the meat in the rough, plain shoulder the latter yields little except boiling pieces, whereas most can be cut into roasts from a smooth evenly fleshed one. Fancy correctly de- mands a good round riband strong, well covered loin. Ex- perience says ditto, with hips not too prominent, especially in a bull, but the hips to be well cohered. Experts rely on the hips upon which to base their judgment of the depth of flesh, as they do upon the purse to show the internal fat. Another point: Fancy says, "Give me a soft handler, picking up the hide between finger and thumb and giving it a pull, beiog well pleased with a thin, papery hide." Ex- perience, 'Give me one with a firm touch, placing hand flat on the rib, gradually bringing the ringers and thumb to- gether, feeling the texture of the flesh under the hide as well as the thickness " Fancy runB orazy on pedigree and says, "How is he bred? I want to see Mb pedigree. How does it read? Does it look well on paper?" Experience teaches that pedigree aloue is of but little value, except for dreaming over and for a certain school of "strioily purists." Pedigree, to be of value, must not only carry us back to the early Shorthorn families, but must be something more than a mere jumble of names. It should indicate that it descends through a list of well known and good individuals, celebrated not aloue on account of their breeding, but also for what they themselves have done, either in the show yard, or at the pail, or as sires or dania of show yard notorieties. Ex- perience says, "I want to Bee both pedigree and true shape, neither are of value alone, but must be combined." We honor a man in the present day for what he is himself, not for what his grandmother's grandfather might have done. And it is right that it should be so. In this age of competi- tion, when by the aids of railroads India is as near the mar- kets of the world as Canada, Australia, and the Islands of the Sea are all in keen competition, to say rothingofthe late desolate places in our own country, which are now, by the aid of oar intelligent young Ontario farmers, blossoming like the rose- It is a race for the survival of the fittest whether in cattle or the human rac«. Then let us gird up our loins and prepare for the fray. Neither fancies nor fallacies will be of use, but stroog individual merit Pedigrte must be made subservient to u'ility, and when the criais comes, as it has dooe, the weak must go to the wall. I have much conbdence in the sound common sense of the Ontario breeder, but knowing them to be free from the common fancies and fallaoies of so many they will tide over the storm success- fully, and by the aid of their good stock, ride safe into the haven at last. For it is only by the aid of good stook. intel- ligently bred, and well fed, that we can hope to farm success- fully. What is Standard Milk? Fixing Prices in Proportion to value. I have been asked whether I consider a law just that fixes a standard for milk at say 12, 12A or 13 per cent of total 60lids, at d any milk falling below these figures as being adulterated. What is standard milk? That which the law says shall pass above some arbitrary figure — let us say 12A per cent total solids— and any milk offered for sale that falls below these tigures shall be condemned as having been adulter- ated. Now, I believe and advocate the necuring as high a per- centage of solids as possible, but a law that declares any milk falling below any arbitrary standard as having been adulterated, is unwise. As a matter of fact, we should have a great deal to do if we attempted to prove every milk that falls below 12J- percent total solids to be adulterated. In fact, if this be true, then very many of our best known herds would be found supplying adulterated milk. Milk, to be adulterated, must have some foreign matter added to or mixed with it. Such milk as I have indicated is not adulter- ated; it is normal milk, just as produced by many cows. Note the following analyses of milk; Total Solids. Fat. 10.79 3.28 10.36 2 98 1111 2 85 1130 2 70 10 56 2 56 11.34 3.33 10 73 3.11 11.50 3.13 10.94 2 62 11 08 2.50 11.94 3.33 9.57 1.73 Av. 10 93 Av. 2.8-4 I could not question the purity of every Bample of milk in- cluded in the above list, as I made the analyses myself, and the milks were furnished under such conditions that there could have been no question; yet not ooe of the twelve samples comes up to even 12 per cent total solids. To the above I could add a much more extended list. Had a dairy- man been selling these milks, he would under such a law have been liable to arreBt and tine for selling an honest arti- cle, but one which by an unwise law is considered as having been adulterated. Nothing short of starvation to the cows would have brought the solids in these milks up to the standard. The law that requires a certain per cent of solids has served a useful purpose, but is antiquated, and needs to be relegated to the past along with the dash churn and the mythical membrane surrounding the fat globule. What shall we put in its place? A law that compels every milk- man to sell his milk according to what it contains, or the per cent of fat contained in it. Let every milk wagon have conspicuously advertised upon it that milk sold is guaranteed to contain 3 to 4 or 4 to 5 per cent of fat, or 2 to 3 per cent, as the case may be, and when the owner is found selling m'lk below the guarantee, let him be punished by fine or other- wise, and let his plan of business be published to his patrons. Such a law would put the milk business on a proper com- mercial footing. Let any person who is proved to have add- ed water or other adulterants to milk be fined, as at present, but let the man who will furnish a milk with five per cent, of fat be paid according to the value of his products. In the milk unions or elsewhere theTe may be adopted a scale of prices, if best. As the law is now, we offer a premium on dishonesty because the man with milk having n?e cent, of fat may add water until his milk comes down to the stan- dard, and he will pass as a good fellow — in fact he is almost forced to do this by sharp competition. The milk from cows that by nature's own process falls below the standard must be condemned as adulterated, and the seller fined under our laws; while the milk that was really adulterated passes all right. Is this a wise law? To me it seems to have served its day of usefulness, and should now give way to one more in keeping with the progressive tendency of onr age— a law that Bhall stimulate every dairyman to find out ]ust what his herd of cows are doing. He may test the milk at intervals himself, by some of the simple methods for determining fat, or he may deliver samples of milk to the inspector for his district who will determine for him the fat contents. Having learned this much concerning milk, let him adopt a figure, above which hie cows may safely be expected to produce milk, and in this way he can furnish a guarantee just the same as our manufacturers of commercial fertilizers are wont to do, and upon which the selling prices for their goods are based. Now, if the dairyman's milk is found to be deficient in fat, then he must suffer the same as should the the manufac- turer of commercial fertilizers who claims three per cent, of nitrogen for his. wares when there is but two per cent. Just the same as the merchant Bhould be obliged to do who sells to an unsuspecting public a piece of goods represented to be all wool when it is nothing but shoddy. Let shoddy be sold, but let it be sold for what it is aud not as all wool; so let milk with one, two, or five cent of fat, or skim*milk. be sold, but let them be sold for what they are and what they contain, and not uuder false colors for what they should be. It may be said there are many difficulties in the way to be overcome, but I believe there are none but what can easily be removed, and that the method ie more simple that what is now practiced. Certainly such a law would be more juBt than any based on an arbitrary standard.— E. F. Laud iu Country Gentleman. State Experiment Station.

The Merino. p The history of this very useful animal antedates that o: all other domestic animals, and is coeval with that of man. simply because there is no domestic animal combining in it self mankind's necessities, food and raiment. The Spanish Merino, orignally imported into this country, was quite different from the Merino of to-day. Unquestion ably, there is no variety of this sheep in the world whict surpasses it. First imported into this country from tbt sunny slopes of Spain moie than ninety years ago, it has,' under the watchful eye and constant care of the Americar hnsbaL drnan, been gradually developed until it would beeru as though the ideal of this popular breed has now beec< reached. That the rapid strides which have been accom- plished in the direction of improvement may be more obvi- ous, let us briefly review the Merino's early history in America and its original condition. In examining the archives which record the first Importa- tion of Merino sheep into the United States, the first anther tic date we have is 1793. It was in that year that Hon. Win. Porter of Boston presented to Mr. Andrew Cragie of Cam- bridge, Mass., two ewes and a ram brought over on the ship Bald Eagle. Then in 1801, a French banker, DeleBsert by name, imported four rams from France, three of which died on the voyage. It waB in this year that Mr. Adams of Zaues- ville, Ohio, imported from France a pair of Merinos. Next came the importation of Chancellor Livingston, American minister to France, in 1S02, who Bent four purchased from the government flock at Chalons. The weight of the rams imported at about this time ranged from about 100 to 130 pounds, and their fleeces from 5 to 10 pounds of unwashed wool. The ewes averaged from 50 to 55 pounds each, and yielded unwashed fleeces averaging 4 to 6 pounds. The Massachusetts Agricultural Society offered, in 1802, a premium of $50 for the importation of a pair of sneep of su- perior breed. Col. David Humphreys, minister to the court of Spain, contracted with a party to deliver to him, at Lis- i bon, 25 rams and 75 ewes, from one to two years old, which were driven across the country of Portugal by three SpaDiBh shepherds escorted by a small guard of Portugese soldiers.j After a fifty days' voyage, they were landed at Derby Con.' necticut, being transferred at New York to a small sloop. The severity of the voyage had by this time reduced the number to 21 rams and 70 ewes. For this importation Col,! ( Humphreys received a gold medal from the Massachusetts Society. In 1819 came the importation of Consul Jarvis, at that time consul at Lisbon, Portugal, who secured 200 of the Ee- curial breed throngh Mr. Ewing, the United States minister at Madrid. In 1S10 and 1811, it is said over 15,000 of the Infantado, Cabanas and other Spanish strains of blood were brought to our shores. At the port of New York aloue. the records show 52 vessels ariivel from Spain with over 2,000 Merinos on board. Among the accounts of sales made by Consul Jarvis' agents, six sheep were sold from his ship- ments for 51,250 each. Consul Jarvis sent 250 to Baltimore' which brought $22,159.69 net. He also Bent consignments to Norfolk aid Richmond, Va. From the New York importation of Consul Jarvis, Mr. Richard Crowningshield, it is believed, secured a portion.. Some Bheep were driven into Addiscn county, Vermont, and it is held they were Jarvis sheep, but some were introduced into that State previous to the Jarvis importation io 1 S 10. As originally imported from Spain, these sheep were rather ungainly in shape; the legs and faces were bare of wool, horns scraggy, fleeces open — i. e., lacking in density, aud shearing light fleeces. Iu 1850. the average weight of fleece of the sheep of Vermont was 3 pounds 5^ ounces the United States 2 pounds, 6£ ounces. The largest increase of the average weiebt of fleeces in Vermont appears to be be- tween 1850 and 1870, and is regarded as a Btrung argument in favor of the cultivation of the heavy sheariug, greasy Me- rinos whioh are the animals which have raised the American; shearing standard to its present position. In 1860 the fleeces' of the sheep of Vermont had increased to 4 pounds, 2\ oz. as is chronicled in the records of the Vermont Merino Sheep Breeders' Association, and the average fleece of the United StateB to 2 pounds, 10^ ounceB. With the opening of the rebellion came an active request for all the products of the farm and factory, and a consequent stimulation of sheep breeding throughout the country at once occurred. Many were the carloads of thoroughbred Merinos, from the best of Vermont flocks, that were pulled westward into the State of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin and other wool-growing seotions and dispersed for the improvi ment of grade flocks. During the year following 1S77, more sheep found tbi way into States farther west, and the ranges of Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico and other rani sections absorbed not only Vermont's small surplus, bul that of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and less imporlaul States. The Merino is a noble sheep. Out numbering, many times, all other breeds, it certainly deserves the primary oon-t sideration we have accorded it. It is interesting to note that in 1850 the heaviest Bhearing stock rams cut a fleece ofj only 18 pounds, while at the present day rams sheariug 30,| 35, 40 and even 45 pounds are not infrequent, while there! are many ewes that will shear 16, IS, 20 aud occasionally 25 pounds. Great evenness and density of fleece had also been attained. Quite a number of rams fleeces have yielded ovei nine pounds of scoured wool each, and ewes over seven,— i American "Wool Reporter.

MEMO trotted In public in his two year-old form, obtaining a record of 2:49, though he was close to Grandee in a race on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first in 2:3 J. 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 tne best record. On the Oakland track he was timed a mile in 2:2o 1-2, and frequently trotted quarters in from 32 1-2 to 34 seconds. As a foar-year-oid Memo only s'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, he showed great speed, aud improving as he went on, great 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 aud he was laid up for the season. He is sixteen hands high, and of powerful build throughout. His coljr is a glossy black, with both fore-feet white. His disposition in all that coula be desired, and his action superb. He is aBure foal getter, only one mare being report*- d not in foal during his last Beason. TERMs, ?1P0, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares.

The Cleveland Races. Wliat tlie Californlans are Doing:. From Detroit to Cleveland was but a short journey, and the Californian contingent all arrived here, right side up with care. As the Cleveland track has the reputation of being one of the fastest in the United States, we all of us look forward to seeing some wonderful records made, especially in view cf the fact that many of the sensational horses of the day are quartered here, and before the week ends, will have shown us what they can do. The day was exactly suited for fast work, and there was a very large attendance, considering that the facilities for get- ting to the track were rather meagre. However, we have been promised that to-morrow there will be extra convey* ances, so that the crowd which is expected to see the great free-for-all pacers, will have a better opportunity for getting to the course than we had to-day. The opening race of the day was for the2:30 trotting purse, and brought out nine starters, among the number being M. Hickok'a entry, Prince Warwick. Notwithstanding the fact that the Californian had shown a wonderful performance prior to his starting in the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Stake at Detroit, he was not thought moch of by the betting talent, they choosing to pin their faith to Leopard Kose, the wonderful spotted mare, who has been a source of many a downfall to those who have backed other entries. Budd Doble's mare, Pixley, had little or no trouble in winning the first heat, as it was evident to all that Leopard Kose was simply being warmed up for the next heats. Time, 2:2(H. In tte second heat, however. Kose cut out the trotting from the time the word was given, going to the half in 1:07$, and from there home in like time, the mile being completed in 2:151. After this sensational mile, it can readily be believed that Leopard Kose was a very long odds favorite, and notwith- standing she made two losing breaks in each of the next two heats, she won both easily in 2:2(H and 2:18J. The follow- ing is the SUMMARY. 2:30 Class— Trotting; purse §2,000. divided.

The 2:25 pacing race was the next on the programme, and Grant's Abdallah, who had made such a hard tight with Cricket in Detroit, was touted as a sure thing winner. He won first money in three straight heats, the balance of the field being completely out-classed by the Kansas City stallion_ SUMMARY. 2:25 pace; purse 81,503. divided.

The2:21 class was really the most interesting and closest contest of the day, for although Saisun had been picked as a winner, she did not get a heat but made it very nnoom- fortahle for Simmocolon to the last heat. In the first heat Veritas was driven by an amateur and a very poor one at that, who was in snch a hurry to secure the lead that he fouled Pocahontas Prince at the first turn, and the latter be- coming very excited threw his driver and ran almost two miles before he was canght. The judges, notwithstandibg the fact that Veritas won the first heat by fully four lengths sent him to the stable giving the heat to Simmocolon who was second. In the second heat Pocahontas Prince although scratched up a little was started again bot was drawn in the third beat. Dick Smith surprised everybody by his terrific speed in the second heat when he rushed away in the lead and was never headed, completing the mile in 2:17. Dick Smith after this wonderfnl showing was considered good enough to win and lots of money went up into the pool box on his presumed chanoes. Simmocolon proved too much for him, winning the third and fourth heats in 2:19 and 2:22. Summary. 2:21 class trotting, purae 52,000 divided.

"Great Scott," I have Been some hot weather in the Sacra- mento Valley when the old circuit used to commence at Chlco. but this, the second day of the Cleveland meeting sur- passed anything that your correspondent has yet seen in the East. However, to overcome the extreme heat the racing thermometer was at a boiling point also, and it is with ex- treme pleasure that I have the gratification of writing to the Breeder axd Sportsman the grand news that the fastest mile ever made in a race, was accomplished byOrrin Hickok's great pacer, Adonis. That the Cleveland folks are terribly tickled, goes without saying, as they can with all truth now claim that their handsome track is the fastest in the world. That the track must be very speedy is demonstrated in the fact that all of the heats to-day with two exceptions were trotted and paced better than 2;20. The attendance was all that could be desired, the grand stands were well filled, and all along the quarter stretch thire was a perfect jam of hu- manity. There was one little dissappoint for those in attendance as it had beeh announced that Brown Hal, the great stallion pacer would endeavor to lowei his present record of2:12i, but owing to lameness, it was deemed expedient to reserve the trial for another opportunity. The first race on the card was for the 2:27 trotting class, thare being five starters but as the entries are all from the Eastern stables, a description of the heats would be of little interest to your readers, therefore it will suffice to give the Summary. 2:27 class, trotting, purse $2,000.

The next event might really be termed the great race of the day, it being a free for-all pacing purse of $1,500, the starters being Hal Pointer, Adoois, Jewett, Fred Arthur and Gray Harry. Hal Pointer was the favorite in the race, sell- ing in the auction pools for §200. Adonis being second choice at $130, while the field brought $75. The first heat was really a contest between Fred Arthur and Adonis for first place. Geers, the driver of Hal Pointer, being satisfied to lie back and see the two leaders fight for supremacy. Notwithstanding the bitter contest that occurred between the two, occasionally Pettit would bring up the black gelding, Jewett, only to be shaken off again as Adonis and Fred Arthur were too much for him. After a red hot driving finish, AdoniB won, Fred Arthur second, Jewett third, and Hal Pointer fourth, Grey Harry, the other entry being distanced by the judges for his running qualifications. When the word was given for the second heat Hal Pointer was away behind, Jewett being in the lead, which position he maintained until the quarter was reached, where Hickok sent Adonis along and Hal Pointer was also given his head. The contest soon narrowed down to a red hot tussle between Hal Pointer and Adonis, tbe pace being something terrific; as they turned into the homestretch Adonis and Hal Pointer were neck and neck, the Californian representative never made a skip, although every muscle was exerted to pass first under the wire. When within a hnndred feet of the judges, Pointer left Mb feet and failed to catch in time, although Adoois only beat him by a half length in the marvelous time of 2:1 H. Babel could not possibly have presented a noisier scene than was now witnessed by the spectators. The crowd simply went wild, shouts and cheers rending the air as the onlookers realized the fact that they had witnessed the fast- est beat ever made in a pacing or trotting race. Although Adonis now had two heats to his credit, he wbb not snen a great favorite in the pool box as one would have thought, the friends of Hal Pointer still sticking to him with a dogged determination, for which they were well recouped when the race was finally ended. When the word was given Hickok made no effort for tbe heat, so the judges declared all bets and pools on the heat off. The slow time of 2:18^ is ample evidence that all the drivers were willing to give their horses a breathing spell. When the third heat was called Adonis seemed tired and weak, but. tbat he has plenty of nervp. no one can gainsay. Hickok wanted this heat and wanted it badly, bat his horse just simply could not win it. Jewett took one of his usual spurts and cat out the pace for tbe balance until after the first quarter was reached, and then the battle royal began in good earnest. Hickok with an eye to business sent Adonis sweeping down the back stretch with Hal Pointer hanging close to him as they swept into the stretch. Pointer had slightly the lead which Hickok tried to overcome, and man- fully did he battle with his fast gelding, bat to no account, as when within a few feet of the wire he eased op ou Adonis, Hal Pointer winning in 2:14*. The last heat was as nearly as possible a repetition of the preceding one; both drivers were anxious to win, and Ar'onis was set out to make the pace. At the half mile pole the Ten- nessee horse came along with a great burst of speed, both he and Adonis pacing very evenly aroand the last tarn, coming into the home stretch on even turns, but from this tiire on Hal Pointer seemed to draw ahead. Jast before the wire was reached Hickok fairly lifted Adonis off of his feet, and the game Bon of Sidney responded with a noble effort, but it was of no use, Geers passed under the wire first, and as he did so turned around and smiled on Hickok. By long odds, Adonis to-day had the worst race of his life, although bis owner has the proud satisfaction of being able to eay that he has made a record whioh up to this time stands unequaled.

I may say here also that another of the Salisbury Btable is under the weather.

It seemed as though every horBe in Cleveland had been brought out to carry the spectators to the race track. The weather was again frightfully hot, but that seemed a very slight objection, us tbe largest attendance of the meeting so far congregated at Glenville Park to-day. Several times during the early afternoon, St. Clair Street was positively blocked with tbe enormous quantity of vehicles which were all travelling toward tbe one common center. Tbe racing was all that could be wished for, although there was considerable "kick- ing" on the part of many of tbe audience because Leopard Kose did not win the 2;25 trot; she was a strong favorite, but was never in the swim from the start. The winner 1 up in the game and reliable gelding Walter E., owned I Stewart of Knnsos City. As it took several heats lo tini- 94 ^ke fpmte smcl j^nxtstrmw.

However, the old California favorite, Orrin A. Hickok had the speed of the party with Alfred S , much to the astonishment and disgQBt of the heavy backers, who can- not understand why it is that California representatives bob up at the most unaccountable moments. The game little filly, Margaret S., was also entered in this race, but she stood no show against the speedy ones who were entered against her. ''Old man" Kyger had his favorite bay mare, Kit Curry, the other entry in addition to those mentioned being the bay gelding J. B. Eichardson who had Langs as a driver. When the pool selling first opened in the morning, and in fact right up to the time of the first heat, Houri was the favorite, although Pamlico was a strong second choice, the pools brought about as follows: Houri $50, Pamlico §35 and the field $30. When the word was given for the first heat Margaret S. started off in the lead and continued as the pilot of the party until they were fairly well into the last turn, when Pamlico, Kit Curry and Alfred S. were all Bent np to join her. As they turned into the stretch the sight could only be likened to a four-in-hand chariot race, as the quart- ette were nose and nose together. Pamlico trird to take the pole, and when it was found he could not do it, was out aoross to the outBide, out trottiDg all three and finishing first with Alfred S a close second, Margaret S. third and Kit Curry fourth. Time 2:17£. From the manner in which Pamlico had won the initial heat, it seemed dollars against buttons that he would have an easy victory, so much so in fact that before the second heat, pools sold for §35 for the Goldsmith entry, while the field bunched only brought $25. In the second heat the fight wa3 between Alfred S. and Pamlico, the Californian representative winning the heat by a neck only, the close finish causing much excitement in the crowd. Houri also trotted well in this heat and came down the homestretch at a terrific clip but waB nnable to head off the two leaders. The third and fourth heats were but repetitions of the sec- ond with this exception, that J, B. Eichardson cut out the pace with Alfred S., but the Elmo gelding was too much for him.

Harry was driveo by a son of Gen. Turner, a ruoning mate accompany- ing the representative of the Wilkes family around the course. The quarters were made as follows: 34.1, 1:071, 1:41 and 2:14J Marvin alBo gave an exhibition with the great filly, Sunol, the distance being a half mile. The first quarter was trot- ted m the remarkable time of 31 seconds, but as she broke badly in the stretch, it took 1:07 to complete the distance. in a short time afterwards, Marvin again brought out the peerless filly and drove her a mile, the time being as follows: 32f, 1:05, 1:39 and 2:15.

It looked to me as though McDowell waB willing to lay up the first heat for he did not drive the mare to the limit of her speed, as there were three in the field who passed under the wire before ehedid, the winner of the heat turning up in Maggie K. who accomplished the mile in 2,15.}, The 2nd heat was the sensational one of the day. Maggie R. went for the lead again but at the quarter Cricket struck her gait and before the half was reached, had the lead, it was at this point that Dallas came alonglike a cyclone and fought with Cricket, taking tbe lead away from her at the three- quarters, the mare tried hard to regain her lost place but it was of no UBe, Dallas had too much Bpeed for her, winning in 2:11}, Cricket being 2nd. Some idea of the speed of the field may be arrived at when I state that not one of them was distanced. Before the 3rd beat Dallas was made favorite over the field, but Cricket had evidently picked out this heat for herself, and kept the lead from the start to finish, in fact she had no difficulty in winning the last three heats, 'lime being given in the SUMMARY. 2:17 Class, pacing.

Finish of the i>eer Toiige Meeting- Second Day, July 23. There was another fine day of sport at the races to-day. The crowd was much larger than yesterday. There was not quite bo much betting as the day before, as the horses seemed to be well known. The first race was a trotting 2:20 claps, in which the follow- ing horses came np on the track: Tramp S., ch s, Chas. Deitt; Morning, bg, J. H. Butler, Conde, ch g, W. R. Da- vis; Contractor, br g, H. Kirkendall. They had positions in the order named. In the first heat Manning took the lead and kept it throughout, comma under the wire in 2:30£, Gonde second, Contractor third and Tramp S. fourth. The second heat was a close one between all the horses except Tramp S., but Manning cime under the wire first. Conde second, Contractor third, Tramp S. distanced.

In the running race, one and a half mile running dash, the starters were Carry Lee, ch f, Hugh Kirkendall; Susie Glenn, ch f, J. P. Eatton; Gold Bar, ch c, Sam Hanley. Carry Lee led for the first three quarters of a mile, while Gold Bar came up and lapped her. It then became a close race. Com- ing down the home stretch Gold Bar made a heroic struggle for first place, but wa3 unable to obtain it, Carrie Lee com- ing under the wire a nose in advance, Susie Glenn third. Time, 2 -A -ill-. Gold Bar claimed a foul on Carrie Lee, but it was not allowed. In the trotting race, three-year-olds, there were the follow- ing starters: Leap-year, b f, W. H. Raymond; Locust, ch c, Winthrop Raymond; Volcaro, b c, Huntley & Clark. The race was two best in three and resulted as follows: Locust 2 2 Leapyear 3 3 Time, 3:07^,3:06. It was thought that Locust would have taken the last heat had she not broken whem nearing the "wire. The last race was a very pretty one. It was a one mile dash between Gnido, ch c, "W. H. Babb; Gov. Adams, b c, Teasley; Sympathetic Last, br s, W. "Weaver, Guido, after the lower turn, led, followed closely by Gov. Adams, bat all of them kept pretty close together coming to the homestretch. Sympathetic Last took second place coming in and the posi- tions were not changed, Guido first, Sympathetic Last second, Gov. Adams third. THIRD DAY, JULY 24TH. The races were very fine to-day; "a grand day, "said every one. There is the greatest satisfaction with the conduct of the races. There was much excitement and a great deal of betting. The first race called was a trotting race for three-year-olds, best two in tnree. The starters were Ashby, b c, Thomas Smith; Murtha, b f, Denver Stables. In the first heat Mur- tha came under the wire an easy winner in 3KJ1J. In the second heat Murtha passed under the wire a nose in advance in 2:48. Murtha was given the race. SUMMARY. Murtha 1 1 Ashby 2 2 Second race, running, one and one-quarter mile ilush — The horses that came up on the track in this race were: Mon- tana, b b, Robert Mulligan; Beaconsfield, b e, Clifton Bell; Tom Daly, ch g, Cy Mnlky. The horses were sent away on the first score. Coming down the homestretch it was a fine race between Daly and Beaconsfield, but Daly won by half a length, Montana five or six lengths behind. This is the first race Montana ever started in. Time, 2;13J. The third race was trotting, 2:40 class. In this race there were five horses to trot, named as follows. Don L, br s, EvanB & Tate; Procrastination, b s, Ed Latterly; Juliette, gr m, S. E. Lirabie; Ben Williams, b g, Ben Johnson; Butte, br g, J. H. Bu'ler. In the first heat Ben Williams soon took the lead and was closely followed by Don L., he by Juliette, the others scattering In this way they came around the track, Ben Williams winning, closely followed by Don L and Juliette, Procrastination fonrth and Butte fifth. Time, 2:29$'. The second beat was oalled at 4:30 p. m. Ben Williams noon passed to the front, followed cloaely by Don L and Juliette, the others far behind. In this way (hey went until they on- tered the homestretch, when Willmms went to the air and Don L took the lead and won the heat, Williams second, Ju- liette third, and the others distanced. Time, 2:30. In the third heat Juliette, who had the outside of the track, had the best of the start, and took advantage of it by pressing in front and fouling Don L. This gave her the lead which she kept, coming in in 2:37, Williams second, Don L third. The Leat whs given to Williams, and Juliette set baok for the foul. In the fourth heat Don L proved too muoh for Wil- liams,*'taking it in 2;37J, Williams second, Juliette third. Time, 2;37:£. The fifth heat was an exciting one. Don L broke immediately after passing the wire and lost fully fifty yards. Williams led around the lower turn, but Juliette passed him on the backstretch coming home. Don L took second place. Jnliette passed under the wire in 2:3U, her best record, Don L second, Williams third. The Bixth trial was a magnificent contest between Jnliette and Don L, the latter getting in first, Juliette second and Williams third. SUMMARY.

Coming down home the race was between Roly Boly and the Jew, but the latter came in first by half a length. Roly Boly second, Wilder third, Kickapoo fourth. Time, 48£. The Jew was given the race. Fourth Day. The races were good but several little accidental delays were unpleasant to the spectators. The remarkable fast time of Nettie S. was the event of the day. There were more betting than usual and more money passed through the pools than on any previous day. The first race of the day was a trotting race, two-year-olds, best two in three, and the starters were. Erect g o, Hngh Kirkendall; Locust, ch g, Winthrop Baymond. In the first heat Locust kept in the lead throughout, winning in 3:05J. It was thought that Erect was not doing his best, but when he came out it was found he had lost his toe weight which explained his conduct. In the second heat Locust acted badly and Erect took the heat in 3:07 without much effort. The third heat was a pretty one. Tho horses went together all the way around, both broke on the homestretch but gathered quickly and Erect came in a winner in 3.00. Erect took the race. SUMMARY. Erect 2 1 1 Locust 1 2 2 The next race was a running race, 600 yards dash, in which the following fivers came up on the track: Eddie R, h s, C. M. Tate; Nettie S., gr m, J. P.

FiDally they were sent away with Green Pruitt three lengths behind. Nettie S. at once jumped to the front and, raising her head, said "Come on boys, "I'll break the record," and Bhe did coming under the wiie in 30J Bay Tom second, Roanoke third, Eddie R. fourth and Green Trnitt a bad ii tii. Several men timed the race at 30 seconds. In the trotting race, 2:27 class, the following horses went in the order named: Homestake, b g, Ed Lafferty; Louis S., ch g, J. B. Cassidy; Cottonwood Chief, ch s, Geo. W. Krat- tier; Belle, gr m, J. P. Stoneroad. In the first heat Louis S. lead. Belle broke after passing tbe wire, and Cottonwood was very lame.

DtSoto was then drawn. In the second heat Procrastiuation at once went forward, and it looked for some time as if he would shut tbe others out, bnt he came in slowly and took the heat in 2:33, Black Tom second and MiDute m^n distanced. The third heat resulted in favor of the pacer Black Tom, in 2:3SJ The fonrth heat was taken by Procastiuatiou. Time, 2:37. There waB a claim of foul against Procrastination, but it was not allowed.

The grand circuit of the State of California opened up in brilliant style. The attendance was gratifyingly large and the raoing was first class. The Directors of the Sixth Dis- trict Agricultural Association otiered big money this year and the Bine Ribbon Meeting promises to be successful in every particular. Visitors poured in from all over Southern Cali- fornia and oyer two thousand people passed through the gates. The grand stand was filled to repletion with a fashionable audience and carriages and equipages lined both sides of the quarter stretch. Never in the history of the As- sociation has so much interest been taken in the races. The receipts exceeded the opening rlay in 1S89 by $500. The track was in fair condition. It was especially good for the bangtails and the running horsemen were in high feather. The opening event was the Los Angeles Derby. This race excited considerable interest and four out of the five en- tered came to the post. The absentee was Gold Dust who pulled up a trifle lame a couple of dayd betore the race. RaindroD has made a red hot favorite with Captain Al second choice. Marigold and L,rghetto sold in the field. After one or two breakaways the flag was lowered to a capital start. Larghetto went lo the head of affaire and led his competitors a merry pace. The other three ran bunched for a couple of furlongs. Larghetto led past the stand by two .lengths. Murpby improved his position on Raindrop and a slashing race beaan. Turning into the straight Marigold oame full of running and won in gallant style in the good [time of 2:38J. This is the second Derby that Matt Storn hascaptnred in the Southern Citrus belt and he was congratulated on all sides. SUMMARY. .T-niesB.

Tbey weie Abi, Daisy D, Dan Murphy and Carmen. ThiB proved to be a great betting race. Abi was made the favorite and considerable money rolled in the pool box on the Sacra- mento mare. . Daisy D also had a host of admirers. She met Abi on better terms than ever before, and the Fresno delegation backed her heavily. The talent got hit hard, however, and Carmen surprised the betting public by defeating both these celebrated mares. It was a red hot race however. The starter experienced considerable difficulty in sending the quartette on their journey. After about a score of breaka- ways the flag was loweied to a fairly good stait, Dan Murphy getting the ragged end of the re pe. Little Boach began to ride him from the start, and was soon at the head of affaire. Carmen was also given her head. At the half they led Daisy D two lengths, with Abi a length behind the Fresno mare. A great race ensued after turning in the straight. Dan Murphy soon had enough. Daisy D challenged Carmen and gradually overhauled the leader. "Here comes Abi," shouted the multitude as Casey called upon the mare. Whips were brought into requisition, but Carmen was equal to the occa- sion and won by a length, Daisy D just beating Abi for sec- ond money, '1 he time, 1:41£, was the fastest mile ever made over the track, and the crowd cheered when the Bign was hung ont. Los Angeles climate appears to agree with Carmen as she has never done anythiug to speak of since her appearance in Los Angeles two years ago. SUMMARY, W L Appleby's ch m Carmen. 108 Murphy 1 H.

There were few starters, and as they all hailed from different points each one had his admirers. Glendine, a handsome chestnut by Saulsbury, was first choice, notwithstanding that the horBe was not himself. Jim Leach had a host of sup- porters who came up from the Bay 'n climate. Lucy R was thought to be dangerous, although it was known that she was not herself. Dick Richmond was considered to have more than a fighting chance as he looked in perfect condi- tion and his work since his arrival at the track had been Fresno sent down Barbaro, and Charley Owens made 1 'knight of the sulky." The Glendine captured The Marysville Entries.

Of oonrse many of Stockwell's best sons are from Touchstone mares— nota- bly the Marquis and several lesser lights of the turf, while Gang Forward iB ont of a daughter of Orlando. In the colonieB these lines of breeding have been followed np pretty closely, and these crosses have nioked splendidly with the two greatest native sires, Yattendon and Goldsbrough. The old mare Juliet, by Touchstone ont of Lancashire Wifch by Tomboy, together with Chrysolite, her daughter by Stock- well made the reputations of FlBherman, so far as tnrf per- formances are concerned, although it most be conceded that Fisherman's daughters have proven grtat matrons with al[ sorts of sires. It is impossible, therefore, to reBiat the belief that Austra- lia contains four tiruea as much Stockwell blood and twelve times as much Touchstone blood as can be found in the United States. It is plainly, therefore to te seen that Sen- ator Eose has shown his good sense in sending acroi-B the trackless South PaoiSc for his broodmares. There will be others to follow the lead of the clear-beaded old vigneron of Sunny Slope, whose horses are destined to become as famous under the Bilk as they once were in the haruets. Tbe only error in the matter is that our good cousins id tbe great South Continent have not resorted to the well tried Loxin; ton blood of America as a wholesome ontoross for the Fish erman, Yattendon and Goldsbrongb families of iieir harems. There should be a reciprocity. T. 13. 51. 96 %ht %xtz3Ltx at*tt jlptrrtsmatt. Aug. 9 TURF AND TRACK Alf Lakeland hss sold all his horses in training. Djble has in his string Pilot S., a fall brother to Jack. B. J. JohnBon, who paid $10,000 for Ruperta, got a bargain. McLeod 2:21} by Mambrino Blitzen dam by John Dillard is dead. Wiley Brasfield will handle Bonnie McGregor 2:13i again this season. J. H. Goldsmith and E. Odell have purchased Elva Medium, 2:17}, for $3,000. Hollis has left the Scoggan stables, Goodall being now the only jockey engaged . C. Davids says Nona Y.has gone lame again and had to be turned out of training. Riley wili probably not carry Silk again until fall as he is taking a well earned rest. Jimmy Goldsmith etill in the lead, John E. Turner second, in the list of winning drivers. The Hearst horses are now all at the Branch except the string under Donathan's charge. Margaret S, 2:17} is now the fastest trotter out of a mare with a record of 2:30 or better. Secretary Brewster, of Washington Park, Chicago, is among the spectators at Monmouth Park. The rumor that Electric Bell (Electioneer — Beautiful Bells) had been 3oId for $50,000 is not based on fact. Palo Alto is entered in the free-for-all at the Breeder's Meeting, and by then should lower his record again. Matt Storn's Larghetta and Marigold both earned their first winning brackets at Los Angeles during the past week. Oro is now running at the West Side Track. Last Tues- day he won a good race, beating several fair performers. Sam Handley; the Montana trainer, is said to have won $1,500 in the box at Deer Lodge when Don L. got his record. Alexander Fraser, of Kansas City, purchased of Brook Chavis, the trotting mare, Eva Wilkes, record 2:26£ for $2,- 500. Los Angeles won in 1887, 1S8S and 1SS9, $80,000 in stakes and purses. She bids fair to rival Miss Woodford and Firenze. The report is once more resuscitated that John E. Turner will follow Knap McCarthy's example and join the thorough- bred brigade. Aleck B 2:29], the Electioneer gelding who entered the 2:30 list this year has been Bold by Henry Cody to A. E. Atwood Syracuse, N. Y. E. S. Gardner, the Western track correspondent paid $4000 for the half brother (by Mr. Pickwick) to The Bard at the Fairview sale. Jim Dustin's last work at the Bay with Lee is said to have been very satisfactory. Dame rumor says: "fourth heat 2:25i; fifth 2:25. Sam Bryant was pretty cute when the Bryant and Scogean combination sold out, the latter bought Proctor Knott, Sam bought Come To Taw. K. S. Veeeh, Indian Hill, has lost (dead) the ten-year-old broodmare Malaga, by Woodford Mauibrino, 2:22£, dam Maud by Alexander's Abdallah. Col. Brodshaw2:20|haB had his name changed to Manning, and under his new name won first money in the 2:20 class at Deer Lodge on the 23rd of July last. Melton, the English Derby winner in 1S86, was sold to the Italian government. It is said he will stand at the govern- ment station at Ferrara at $50 a mare. The dam of Fred Arthur, 2:14}, has a colt by General Han- cock (George Wilkes — Waterwitch). They are botli the prop- erty of Mr. Duhme's Maryland Stock Farm. Dowd Williams is doing much better with the Santa Anita stable than his predecessor, Bob Campbell, did. The colored ring will soon have to take him in with them. The Wabash railroad is said to have paid George Hankina $40,000 damages for the injuries done to his horses in the Warrentown railroad wreck in which Huntress was killed. Jaa. A. Dustin Btarted out this year with a one horse stable. Last Wednesday he Bent Lee, who is entered in the 2:27 class to San Joee and on Thursday went down himself. Dan Honig has added another good performer to his already large string of flyers. He purchased from H. T. Batcheler for $2,200 the b g Mike Watson, 4. by Jack Hardy— Bessie Davis. Wisdom was sold for £50 ($250) after liia racing days were o'er. As the sire of Florence, Veracity, Rightaway and Sure- foot he should pay pretty good interest on the small invest- ment. Electrician by Electioneer out of Rebecca, dam of Rexford 2:24 by General Benton is in training at Cuba, N. Y. Sam Caton expects to give the Bix year old a mark close to 2:20 this year. The water at Monmouth Park is said to be the can°e of the sickntss of several of tho horses there. It is now boiled by most of the trainers previous to use, some also mixing it with oatmeal. The blkg Black Cloud, 3, by Vanderbilt— Jeanette, the properly of the Cedar Grove stables, died Tnesday morning of enteritis. He was valaed at $1,000. Black Cloud was a atiDee winner. W. H. Kerr and W. T. Sydner. of North Middletown. have taken the following horses to Cynthiana to be trained: Ethan Wilkes, 2:36}; Vinnette, 2:29.1; Eoierv, Ethan Wilkes filly and Luby, 2:28. A. A. Kitzmiller, the well known breeder, is in bad luck. Out ef sixty mares bred and in foal, he will have only six foals, four by Ellerslie Wilkes and one eaoh by Pilot Medium and Robert McGregor. W. C. France, Highland Stock Farm, has taken his son Albert and Dr. Smith iuto partnership with him; the latter gentleman has for many years attended to the veterinary denartment of the farm. A. M. Singer, a son of the original Singer of the Sewing Machine, is the owner of the well known English racehorse Tyrant for whom he paid $20,000 previous to his winning the gold vase at Ascot. Governor Hopetown is becoming more popular in Aus- tralia since he has shown the Colonials that be is a bold and fearless rider, with a seat and hands as good, if not better, than their best hunting men. Inez 2:22} by Sweepstakes 298 dam Dolly Bull by Bertrand grand dam Nancy by American Star 14 died while at exer- cise on the track at Paris. S^e was 18 years old and was the property of George Alexander. Margaret S continued her victorious career, winning the 2:20 class at Buffalo last Wednesday, best time 2;18} Cricket, the crack pacer under Andy's care, was beat in the 2:21 pace by Dallas, best time made, 2:13}. The Santa Anita Stable upheld the California banner on Tuesday at Saratoga in a royal manner, Sinaloa winning a good race while Los Angeles showed her mettle by defeating Cassius in the mile and a half. Ed. Corrigan the well known racing owner and proprietor of the West Side Racing Park has been attempting to stop pool selling in Chicago asserting that the magistrates are in the pay of the pool room proprietors. Raveloe, who last week beat the mile record of Racine, was bought by Mr. Haggin with his dam Illusion, when a few weeks old, at the Winters sale. He was sold as a yearling at the Rancho Del Paso sale in New York. R. E. Bybee's thoroughbred Btallion St. Paul by Alarm, dam Lady Sawyers by Longfellow died last week. Oregon, a five year old horse by Monday from Planetia by Planet is also seriously ill and is hardly expected to recover. Edward Appel, Rochester, N. Y., was a few days ago the possessor of a grand colt by Bell Boy, 2:19}. out of Banjo by Onward, 2:25}. and refused $10,000 for the youngster; it died shortly afterwards of inflammation of the bowels. J. S. Stoll, Lexington, Ky., has sold to J. H. Davidson, Lexington, the two year old chestnut filly Lady Invercauld who is a foil sister to Burlington by Powhattan from imp. Invercauld by St. Albans from Eleanor by Voltigenr. Judging from the start made at lone on Los Angeles, the Appleby Btring of race horses will have things a good deal their own way until they strike the Palo Alto stable. Odette, Alfarata, Applause and Carmen having all won races this week. A very good suggestion has been made which should pre- vent in a great measure the in and out running of several well known horses on the straight tracks. It is that patrol jadges be placed at each quarter pole to watch the horses and boys. B. C. Holly cam? up on Monday evening from Vallejo and left on Tuesdav morning for San Jose. Mr. Holly had with him St. Patrick 2:19$, Pink 2:23£, Flora G 2:29}, the three year old Kafir, Charles Derby and a two year old Steinway filly. John Green left on Thursday for the Willows with Queen of the West and the pacer Little Hope 2;21}. The Queen is entered in the 2:30, .2:40 and 3:00 classes through the Northern Circuit, while Little Hope is in (he pacing 2:20 class. The well known broodmare, sister of Mercy, by War Dance, out of Sister of Charity by imp. Knight of St. Gporge, died last week. She was the dam of Tessa K., Pardee, Devo- tee and others, and died the property of G. W. Long, Louisville. W. Vioget goes down to San Jose to-day with Luck, a year- ling filly by Eros, dam by Nutwood, 2:183-, grandam Collay (dam of Vanderlynu, 2i21) by Joseph. The high bred youngster is entered in the colt stake, and should give a good account of himself. It is stated that at Kankakee, after Dickerson drove FauBtino a half in 1:15, $75,000. was offered and refused. Faustino is the fast Sidney yearling that Mr. Valensin sold to the Waters's Slock Farm last year and who holds the yearling Btallion record. The weights for the Hawksbury Grand Handicap to be run September fith near Sydney, have been announced. On top is Sir William who is allotted 126 lbs., while Anlreus is third on the list with US lbs. Both are sons of Rancho Del Paso's Sir Modred. Duqueene 2:17ii died at Paris, Kentucky, last week. He was the property of Philip Haoke, New York. Duquesne was a chestnut stallion foaled 1875, by Tippoo BaBhaw dam Wild Rose (dam of Nutgall 2:29) by Rysdyk'a Hambletoni3n. He was valued at $10,000. The Montana millionaire, Marcns Daly. Beems to be much more successful on the Western Circuit than with his cracks in the East. Of the four colts he sent to Wasbiogton Park, Chicago, Paliiena (Hvder Ali— Pandora) has won several races there and at St. Paul. Several good horses have died in Montana, some of them owned by the well known turfman H.R.Baker. The Ve- terinarian calls the disease Purpura hacmorrhagica. The doctor says it is a disease which follows influen/.a, and in its ripe stage is highly contagions. Col. Thornton says that Austrian, the Darebin— Bavaria colt which he purchased at last year's Rancho Del Pbbo sale for $2,550, will never be able to* race. Since his accident some time ago he has been unable to stand up straight, and is unable to use his hind leg. Tom Smith's horse Washington who bad been showing great speed and was said to be very dangerous in the 2:30 class has had to be taken out of work owing to an injury. Great sympathy is expressed for Mr. Smith and it is hoped the injary will not be permanent. The State Board of Agriculture met on Wednesday last and appointed W. fl. Coombs official starter dnring the State Fair. The pool privileges were leased to J. N. Killip & Co.) who agreed to pay G5 per cent, of the profits to the society. With two exceptions the races were declared filled. By Holly says that Piok has almost recovered from her sickness and is jogging along nicely but of course had a Bee back and is hardly in trim for a hard race. The pacer St. Patrick is in good shape but hardly tit to go a bruising race yet; later on in the season he should obtain a fast record. Jackson I. Case placed Mary A's name in the table of fam- ous brood mares when he gave Kenneth a record of S>;29} at Kankakee, as Bhe is also the dam of Problem, 2:24i, who is, like Kenneth, a son of Kentucky Prince. Mary A. was got by Messenger Duroc, out of a daughter of Hambletoniau. At Deer Lodge, Montana, on July 30th, H. Kirkendall's Erect won the two-year-old race. After losing the first heat in 3;05$ he took the second and third in 3:07 and 3:00 winniDg in a jog. Erect is a two-year-old brother to Direct 2:18} and cost $5,000 at Mr. Salisbury's last New York sale in March. Barney Reilly was last week appointed judge at the start- ing poiDt at Monmouth Park. "Reilly is a well known and reliable man, an old trainer, and knows his business. The authorities should, if possible, get some reliable men to act as patrol judges, presuming the accounts received here are correct. A sensation was created at the Detroit Driving Park, says an exobange, on July 26th, when it was discovered that the Pleasanton Farm's four-year-old filly Cricket, 2:14}, was not in her stall. She was not found until late in the afternoon, when she was discovered about five miles from the city, and twelve from the track. Baron Hirsch, the new millionaire racing man in England and France, has purchased in France the tbree-y ear-old Fitz Hampton who ran second in the Grand Prix de Paris, price $60,000. The Baron last year bought Yasitaswho the Grand Prix and has been a large purchaser at the yearling sales in England this spring. The Portland City view fall meeting which commences September 9th and the Oregon State Fair commencing Sep- tember 15th have prospectB of highly successful meetings; as most of the Montana, Idaho. Washington, Utah and British Columbia horses will be there with probably some California representatives. J. B. Haggin purchased four yearlings at the Fairview sale paying $1700 for a half brother (Forester— Bonnie Wood by Bonnie Scotland) to Phceoix; $1200 for a half sister (Miser— Thora by Longfellow) to Viking; $200 for a filly by Forester out of Miss Lizzie and $625 for a filly by Mr. Pickwick out ofCountessby Theobald. Senator Hearst made three purchases at the Faiiview year- ling Bale last week, paying $725 for a colt by Forester, out of Alice Bruce bv Fellawcraft; $400 for a filly by Forester, from Etiquette by Enquirer, from Silver Maid by Bonnie Scotland, and $525 for a filly by Muscovy or Mr. Pickwick, out of May Rose by Duke of Montrose. L. J. Rose's Fairy ran a good second to A. Belmont's Po- tomac on Tnesday at Monmouth Park. It was no disgrace to the California filly to be beaten by the Belmont colt, who is a royally bred brother to Chesapeake, being by imported St. Blaise out of Susquehanna, who is an own Bister to Sen- sation, Stratford and Onondaga. Orion, the two year old who won the Prince of Wales Stakes at Goodwood on July 31st., is the first meritorious winner of a race by a Derby winner and out of a Derby win- ner. Orion is by Bend Or out of Shotover. Eleanor and Bliuk Bonny never produced anything to a Derby winner. The odds were 5 to 2 against Orion. Charley Thomquest left on Thursday for the Willows with Cupid a four year old brother to Adonis, 2:1 H. and Gerster, a black pacing mare by Washington, dam by Hooper's Ham- bletODiau. Lije Downer went up on the same car with Haverly 2:25. The trio will take iu the Northern Circuit, Willows, Red Bluff, Chioo and Marysville. The winners of all three races at Petaluma last week were driven by Lee Shaner. The two year old stakes was hardly a race, so easily did A. Whitney's Anna Belle by Dawn win in Btraight heats, Time. 2:59, 2:56. Toe yearling sake was won by Nonpariel by Dawn with PayDe Shatter's Kustio King by Rustic second. Time, 1;26J, 1:26, Matt Byrnes, who trains the horses belonging to J, B. Haggin and Marcus Daly, has sold a yearling brother to Ran- cocas to George Walbaum for $1,200. Mr. Walbaum bought the colt, which recently arrived -.froni the Kentuoky farm, without seeing him, solely because his brother issuch a good one. The colt is by Iroquois out of Ontario. An effort is being made to make a match between the King of pneers JohnBton 2:06} and Brown Hal 2:12i. If tbey would make it four handed and let in Adonis 2:llj and Hal Pointer 2:13, or possibly rive cornered, and take in Roy Wilkes 2:12?, what a grand race it would be with ail five sound and in trim. It would result in the survival of the fittest and gtinest. A stallion representative stake for foals of 1890, to be trot- ted at Lexington, Ky., in 1893, guaranteed to be worth $10-, 000 to the winner, was decided apon Monday by the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeding Association. They also decided to open a stake for foals of 1891. to be trotted either in 1S93 or 1894, and to be worth $25,000. This is the larg- est stake ever offered for trotters in this country. 1890 %hz f^vtt&tx and JS pfjrrlsroati. 9< W. J. Rogers is said to be so annoyed at the comments of the press on the running of the horses trained by him, Report- er in particular, that he will give up the stable at the end of the season and retire into private life at his home, Denver, Colorado. The concensus of opinion in Australia seems to be that the veterau Wilson again holds the key to the Melbourne Cup. With tive entries it is hard to tell which is the best, but Lonsdale, 123 ponnds, soems to be the choice; the other four are Magic Circle, 101 lbs , Chintz, 110 lbs , Swing. 106 lbs., and TheS.rf, 104 lbs. Carbine is top weight with 145 pounds, while ninth on the list is Sir Modred's successful son Sir William. Egbert, by Hambletonian 10. was sold October 11, 1SS7, for $3,425 to H. J. Hendryx, of Decatur, Mich, and DauntlsBS, by Hambletonian 10 for $350. Since this sale Egbert has be- come one of Hambletonian's greatest sons, he naviug 17 trotters and 6 pacers in the charmed circle, while Dauntless has 10 trotters and 2 pacers. Egbert is only 15 years old, Hnd the way stallions sell he would probably bring $30,000 to $40,000 at auction. Lloyd's Evening Post, January 29, 1773, contains the fol- lowing interesting item about O'Kelly and Eclipse. "The owner of the famous running horse Eclipse having a few days since a proposal made to him for purchasing it, mentioned the following terms £20,000 ($100,000) dnwn, an annuity of £500 during bis life and three brooi mares." Yet people say horsed are increasing in value. L. J. Rose left New York last Tuesday evening for Cali- fornia, and his horses in training were put on the cars on "Wednesday night. The stable will probably be seen at the State Fair meeting at Sacramento. Mr. Rose will make an- other effort nest year, when he should have more success, as he will have some tbr<-e-year-olds in his string, and a lot of well bred two-year-olds. Before the races began at Monmouth Park one day there was a little excitement under the stand. Mr. Caldwell ac- cused Mr. Morton, who writes for the Evening Post", with criticising him tuO harshly, and that if he did not stop he (Caldwell) would make him, even if he had to use physical force. After call) Dg Mr. Morton some harsh names the starter walked away, while Mr. Morton went before the com- mittee and preferred charges against Mr. Caldwell. G. A. Doherty is putting Victor in trim for the circuit. The brown son of Echo is said by a recent visitor to the In- dian Valley Stock Faim to be in great trim and as tough and hard as when he first appeared among the Cracks in the California Circuit. Mr. Doherty is training among others the speedy mare Sparkle whose foal by Victor is already weaned. Mountain King will probably not be trotted this year although the two year old is showing great speed. In the Queen's Bench on July 15th, the trustees of Ernest Benzon, the ''Jubilee Plunger," applied for an order to res- train an officer in the llih Hussars from leaving the country pending certain law proceedings. The trustees said the offi- cer, who had been ordered to Natal, had an Irish judgment against bim obtained by Mr. Benzon for £13,716, and £10 costs. Their lordship refused to make the order on the ground that they had no power. Ariel Lathrop, Esq., received four telegrams from Marvin while the Jack-Palo Alto race was in progress. Marvin has among his many good traits one of not being too verbose. His expressive telegrams were: No. 1 — First heat, Jack time, 2:151. No. 2— Second heat, Palo Alto time, 2:13£. No. 3— Third heat, Jack time 2:15. No. 4— Fourth heat, Jack time, 2:16. Comparingthe times on the Btraight and elliptical course the Sporting "World of August 1st says; Chaos won at a mile over the circular course ytsterday in 1:42£, Taviston second. Raveloe also won a race at a mile, but over the straightaway, in 1:39£, Druidess second. Now there is a difference of three seconds and a half, but do*s any man suppose that Raveloe and Druidess are the tetter horses? Put the four of them in a race and how would the betting be? The Hungarians have purchased Charibert for $40,000. Charibert was foaled in 1876 and won 19 races, including the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster in 1878, and the Two Thou- sand Guineas in 1879. He was bred by Lord Falmouth, sire Thormanby, dam Gertrude by Sauuterer from Queen Bertha {dam of Spinaway and "Wheel of Fortune), by King- ston. Charibert was purchased for $10,000 by Chas. Win- teringham in 1881, and has since been in the Rtnd at Croft Stud Farm, Darlington, from where he was Bold to the Hun- garians. The slipping bridle nuisance roused the ire of the Mon- mouth Park officials, and to check it, a rule was promulgated making a jockey liable to expulsion if he changed his horde's bridle between the time of dismounting and weighing in. No sooner had the announcement been made than Newmeyer, who rode Vocaletta in the Colleen Stakes, violated the rule and was promptly ruled off. He was reinstated, however, later in the afternooD, when Mr. Bruce showed to Mr. With- ers that the boy's fault arose from his total ignorance of the new- rule. Mr. Brodriok Cloete's nine yearlings made a remarkable average at Newmarket.nine of them selling for 10340 guineas, which is an average of $5745. There were three by Paradox, WheatsheefB yearling bringing $10,500, and the filly out of Cherry selling for $S,250; two by Galopir; one each by Pell Mell and Bend Or the latter out of Lady Emily fetched $1,- 550; and two by Springfield, Bloodstone's yearling by him fetching $15,500. Baron Hirsch bought the latter. Mr. Cloete made bis debut on the turf with Paradox— the Casuis- try colt, in 1884. He has a large cattle ranch in Old Mexico where he spends a good deal of bis time. The Sacramento Record Union says: "The California boiae Alfred S., by Huggiu's Eoho, rather surprised the Easterners last Thursday by winning the race for the 2:17 class at Cleveland. He sold for a song in tho pools, and Hickok probably made a 'killing' ". The Record is slightly incor- rect, for, as any horseman knows Alfred S. is by Elmo 891, instead of Echo. And when Hickok makes a killing, his horse usually does not sell for a song. A member of John Corletts erudite staff has the following: "To all whom it may concern. With regard to the pronun- ciation of Mr. Miloer's Antibes. Such is human perversity that folks insist on going out of their way and wasting breath to make three syllables of this name and call it An ti-bees. Antibes (pronounced Anteeb), is a village near Cannes, very much of the same type as St. Marguerite, both within easy distance of the Duchess of Montio?e's villa." Antibes is a four year old Bister to that grand mare Sea Breeze by Isonomy out of St. Marguerite by Hermit out of Devotion by Stockwell. "Is it altogether fair that Mr. Caldwell's every word should be committed to publicity through the press? says the Sportsman. Not because he is Mr. Caldwell, but because any man filling so arduous a position as that of starter cannot always and forever be expected to otserve drawing-room eti- quette in dealing with refractory jockeys. There has of late appeared a tendency to belittle Mr. Caldwell, which is as un- generous as it is undeserved." Several of our would-be start- ers on the coast have used language which would scarcely be suitable at an afternoon tea, but there has been no visible improvement in their work, despite their laudable (?) effortB to bring themselves down to the level of a stable boy. An Independance, Iowa, special says: "C. W. Williams has returned from Detroit, where he made arrangements for Axtell to attend the August meeting. Axtell will be hero during the entire week, and will give one or more exhibitions. Negotations are in progress to get Sunol for the same meet- ing. Johnston, the pacer, will be here and contest in a race with his rival. Brown Hal. Charles Thompson, who has been training several horsea at Rush park for past week, sent Ma-jagir.twoyep'-'), by Nutwood, dam by George Wilkes, in 2:23. Regon and Nox three-year-olds, both by Nutwood, were each sent in 2;29£. Mary Marshall made her best time to-day, 2 :19J." Tallevera 2:30 by Happy Medium, owned by Brandon, of Nebraska, and Joe Eastman 2:29A by Robert McGregor 2:17.1! owned in Illinois, both stallions, were killed on Thursday, July 31st, by lightning in the stable near the race track. The horses were in Gee Grimes' string and were valuable young horsts, each being valued at from $6,000 to $8,000. The lightning entered through the openings in the barn wall near the stalls occupied by these two horses and killed them iu- stantly but did not injure the other horses, although the man who attended the stable was considerably Bhocked. An oak tree standing near the stable was badly Bhorn of limbs and bark. Ed Tipton last week obtained an option from Smith Mc Cann on his half interest in Red Wilkes. The price for the said interest to be $30,000 and a half of this year's earnings. A few c^ays afterwards Mr. Tipton acting for Mr. Franoe paid Mr. Mcdnn $30,000 for the stallion and Red Wilkes now is the sole property of W. C. France. This year's earnings are expected to be about $20,000 which makes Red Wilkes' value $80,000.

He is alreadv tbe sire of 27 in the thirty list, including Prince Wilkes 2:14$. In the issue of July 19tb, mention was made in Turf and Track of several races at ttie Bay District track the Saturday previous. Among the competitors in one of the events, Sam Gamble entered Wamb* by Electioneer, out of Winona by Almont 33, from Dolly, the dam of Director, 2:17, Thomdale, 2:22J Onward2:25J, and Czarina2:27i. The mare's name shoud have been Winoa, who is an eight-year-old sister to Wamba, and is owned as stated by Mr Outhwaiteat Los AngeleB. Tho mistake was not ours, however, as the mare was announced from the stand as Waraba, and on the pool board was written Wamba. Gamble gave me the pedigree on the traok that afternoon, bat probably had not then noticed the difference of name, and when he did he neglected to have it changed. Stephen A. Douglass, one of the greatest horses ever owned in Western New York, died at Forestville, Chautauqua Co., the other day, aged 29 years. He was bred by W. E. Arnott. Orange County, N. Y., sired by Hambletonian 10, dam said to be by Abdallah 1. H. Swift and sons, of Forestville, pur- chased the horse many years ago, and he made the whole family rich. Stephen A. Douglass, with very limited oppor- tunities—five out of his seven 2:30 performers being out of untraced dams— sired Dave Young, 2:23, Frank K , 2:2S, Handicap, 2:22, Idol, 2:23, Nelly R., 2;22}, Versailles Girl, 2:25£, Western, 2:30, and the dams of Adele Clark, 2:25i, Frank B , 2:25i, Harry Hoyer, 2;28, Heresy, 2:27, and others to be heard from . On the 24th at Deer Lodge Montana, in the 2:40 class, the bay stallion Don L. by Fieldmont out of Nutmeg Maid (dam of Ida D. 2:27A) by TbomaB Jefferson 304, obtained a record of 2:30. He ia the first Fieldmont to enter the list, though Juliette by Fieldmont, out of Crop Ear by Pilot Duroc is knocking hard at the door with a record of 2:31* made in the fifth heat. Fieldmont 5050, is a full brother to Almont Jr. 2:26, sire of Bell" Hamlin and is by Almont, 33, dam Maggie Gaines by Blood's Black Hawk. He was sold some time since to tbe Jewett Stock Farm, Buffalo N. Y., by S. E. Larabie, of Deer Lodge, and the late owner presented Sam Haudley, who trained and drove Don L , with a hundred dollar bill for putting the first of his get in the 2:30 list. The directors of the Shasta County fair association held a meeting in Secretary Hodson's office on the 29lh of July. C.J.Becker, J. E Reynolds, A. C. Brigmao, A. F. Ross, L. F. Basset and C. K. McElwee being present. A. C. Brigman was elected President; T.W. H. Shanahan. Vice-President; H. R. Hodson, Secretary; Fred Grotefend, Treasurer. Mc- Elwee and Secretarv Hodson were appointed a committee to solicit funds for special prizes. Tbe premium list of laBt year was adopted after several changes and additions were made. Many of the prizes were raised to double what they were last year. One thousand copies of the premium list were or- dered printed. Tbe President and Secretary were instructed to mike a list of honorable members. Brigman, Basset and McElwee were appointed a committee on finance. The Queen's yearlings at Hampton Court were sold the other day for upwards of £15,000. It would be interesting, says London Truth, to learn where the money goes to, be- cause there iB a vote every year on account of repairs or additions to the stud-house and buildings, and if the profits of the concern are bo large, it seems to me to be quite mon- strous that tbe country should be made to pay anything towards the maintainauce of the establishment. Mr. Labou- chere (Editor of Truth) also pleasantly suggests that tbe Ascot accounts will be worthy of investigation. The prohts of the meeting are prodigious, and they increase every year. Pe-ple may, theretore, well ask where on earth all the money goeBto'' It has recently been stated that in reality the whole cost of the Buckhounds is paid out of the Ascot rev- It seems that the American Express Company have pecu- liar restrictions in shipping horses, for the Spirit of the Hub says: The reason why George Leavitt did not ship Early Bird and Fanny Swope to Pittsburg was this: He went to the American Express Company and they very courteously, with all of their co-operative coolness, told him they would take his horses for so much, but would not allow a man to accompany them in the car. "I will pay the men's fare," said Leavitt. "We cannot take them. They can blanket the horses and put them in the car, and then must get out; our rules do not permit us to allow men to (ravelin the same car with horses." •'Well, Bir, I have got a good code of rules in my stable, and one is my men accompany my horses. We won't ship over your line; good day, sir." Leavitt came back to Mystic, started the mare Fanny Swope, and won. Another of his rules is win when you can. Mr. Dick Charteris, says the "Hawk," who happened to meet the somewhat astute Mr. "Bunny" Leigh at a ball, com- menced disparaging the latter's horses in training, which was naturally rather a sore subject. After some preliminary pleasantries, Mr. Charteris elected to lay £3,000 to £100 against The Deemster, Mr. Leigh's craok two-year-old, for nest year's Derby, which was readily accepted. This cir- cumstance happened, of course, before the 3roungster's ap- pearance at Ascot, after which the facetious layer, perceiving that the laugh was decidedly on tho other side, approached Mr. Leigh, saying, "Of course, the whole thing was a joke, and that it was no bet." Unfortunately for bim, Mr. Lei?h did not see it in the same light, and on the matter being re- ferred to the Committee of the Newmarket Rooms, they also decided the bet must stand, and Mr. Charteris hardly thinks the joke as good as it might have been. Henry Chaplin, Esq , the proprietor of the Blankney 3tud Farm, Lincolnshire. England, and owner of tbe defunct Her- mit, has replaced his phenomenal sire (Hermit) by Friar's Balsam, a tive year old son of Hermit and Flower of Dorset. The Friar was, as a two year old, the beBt in England, win- ning, among other races, in 1887 the Middle Park Plate, which is the cnick two year old race. His month troubled him since, and he was never in his best form. He was owned by Sir Frederick Johnstone and Lord Alington until Mr. Chaplin purchased the latter's interest for S10.000, and as the property of Sir Frederick and Mr. Chaplin he will stand at the latter gentleman's renowned Blankney Stud. His book is already full for 1891 at §500 a mare. On the same Stud Farm is the celebrated Galopin (Vedette — Flying Duchess by Flying Dutchman), sire of, among many other cracks, St. Simon, Galliard, Corrie Roy, Modwena and oth- ers. Galopin, last season, took 26 public mares at $900 each, besides five of Mr. Chaplin's; his book is full for 1S91 at SI, 000 each, and there are only half a dozen vacancies in the 1892 book. Quite an interesting gathering of horsemen were at the Oakland Trotting Park last Saturday to witness the races of the Gentleman's Driving Association. One of the featnres of the afternoon was the bulletin board which gave each heat of the Palo Alto — Jack race. After the last heat the vet- eran turfman and editor, Joseph Cairn Simpson, Dr. Lathom, Irving Ayres, John Rowan and A. L. Hinds were found dis- cussing the race. All were agreed that it was a grand race for both horses, and that aa average of 2;15 for four heats re- flected unequalled honor on both victor and vanquished, es- pecially when the latter had the fastest heat, 2:13£, to his credit. Mr. Simpson thought that the stallion must be a little off color or would have gone a shade faster. Mr. Ayres did not think he could have been beaten even by Jaok. Mr. Hinds said tbe average time of the heats was too good for Palo Alto while Dr. Lathom said the pace was too good for Palo Alto and he had never expected such a fast race. George H. Clay, Balgowau Stud, Lexington, Ky., has sold to T. C. McDowell, "Ashland Stud," same place, the follow- ing valuable broodmares! Peg Woffington, bay, foaled 1885, by Longfellow, dam Bal- let (dam of Balancer, Blue Grass Belle, Modesty and Busteed ) by Planet, out of Balloon (dam of Revolver, The Banshee. True Blue, etc.), by imp Yorkshire. She baa been stinted to Macduff. Goldie Cad, bay, foaled 1895, by Longfellow, dam Cicily Bowling by Tom Bowling out of imported Cicily Jopson (dam of Wavt-rly, Katrine, Phcebe Mayflower, Emma Man- ley, etc ), by Weatheibit. She has been stinted to imported King Galop. Imported Gardenia, chestnut, foaled 1879, imported in 1886, by Diitin, dam Division by Dalesman, out of a mare by Lord of the Isles. She has also been stinted to King Galop. W. Lakeland raced Peg as a two, three and four-year-old. As a two she won three races out of four; at three she won four races and as a four year-old one. If there is any mau iu the trotting horse bueiness that can say more in le*s words than John Turner we want to know bim, sa5s the American Sportsman. Tho wilygeneral's Irish wit bubbles over when he feels good and has a queer signi- ficance when fortune fails to smile on the green tap. Three jears ago a party was coming from Springfield after Bessie had defeated Spofford in the champion stopping race of the year. They were counting up their loses und tried to get in a word with Turner, who was not in a very communicative mood. At last he looked across tho aiBlu and summing the whole situation into one sentence, said: "This has been a very severe week." Another day at Hartford he was asked if Judge Davis, who be always drove with a kicking strap, was troubled with a little lightness behind or showed a desire to Bhove bim off the sulky Heat. "Well, I do not propose to let him," was the non-commiltnl reply. Columns conld be written on how he has tried not to com- promise the judge when he bus horBOB in races, but the tiger was round at Washington last spring when he was asked to drive Suisnn out. Few cuu remember, however, when Turner was ever taken out iu a race, as he never puts a nickel on a horse when making such drives, still a few plunge on bim. He will also on such occasions make au honest effort to win when the judges insist on him coming up at the rininh. There is only one Turner and his methods would puzzle a philosopher, but there are no kiuks iu any of his statements when anyone that has a liking for asks for information re- specting anything except a noise's work or bis line of battle in ft race.

Van Haltran is credited with having made the longest hit secured this season on the Cleveland Brotherhood grounds. In the Stockton— San Francisco game of Ang. 1st, Fodger, who had been five times at bat, was the third man out for his Bide each time. Somebody asked Dowse, of Cleveland, the other day how Boon he expected to catch a game and he replied: "When Zimmer drops dead.'" Pitcher William Wittrock, recently released from the St. Iionis Browns, has been signed for the Portland, Oregon team by Joe Pritchard. Ben Hill's work while with the Friscos has been excellent both in tbe field and at the bat. Finn would do well to re- tain this player in his team. Billy Cooney is now manager of the Salem, Or. team. Jce Leveque, well known here as a very promising youug player is pitching for the same team. Tip O'Neill seldom plays a game in which he does not make two or more costly fumblers and still the Colonel thinks he is the greatest shortstop on the Coast. LeBter Osborne, a prominent journalist of Los Angeles, and enthusiast on the National Game, is at present in this city and stopping at the Palace. Mr. Osborn is here in the interests of the City of the Angels team, his business being to secure tbe signatures of several of the California Leagues best players who will constitute the Southern team for the winter schedule. He is also perfecting arrangements with Mr. Keller, manager of the E. T. Aliens, which team will, in all probability, play a series of three games with Los Angeles early in September. "A movement is on foot to give Jack Hayes a benefit. The sprain in his ankle will prevent his playing with the Colts for several weeks, and as his accident was obtained in the line of duty, it is but fair that something be done for him. All lovers of baseball recognize Hayes' value as to the Colts. He is one of the generals on the Coast, and as a shortstop, there is not a player in the Northwest League his equal. As a "slide," his work has more than once piled up runs for the club. Now that he is, for the time being, incapacitated for service, something should be done for him. His only in- come since his arrival has been from the games played. This being temporarily cut off, and acknowledgement of his ser- vices in the shape of a benefit, would be timely and appro- priate.— Port Townsend Leader.

"Poundiog wind," fanning "wind," "cooked a wind pud- ding," "sawed cold air," and "hammered the atmosphere." are a few of the intricately delicate phrases used to cover the simple torm "struck out."— Sporting News. Jerry Denny is a back number. He struck out eight tiojts in three games, which is almost the record. Jerry has the record one way or the other all the time, either tbe best or the worst. The latter seems to be his position at present. — Chicago Sportsman. In the Seattle— Portland game ot last Saturday which was won by the former in the eleventh inning by a score of 4 to 3, Manager Harris rose from the players bench and de- nounced Umpire Ben Young as a robber. The umpire promptly fined Harris ten dollars for the impeachment on his character. Tbe crowd last Sunday was a regular "old timer" chuck full of enthusiasm and good nature. When a good article of ball is given by capable players the San Francisco public is not slow in appreciating that fact and generously respond. But "skate" exhibitions by "counterfeit" players only draw what they deserve — empty benches. Boy— "Pleas, sir, may I have the afternooon off? My grandmother is to be bnried." Employer — "That is the eighth grandmother you have buried since the baseball season opened." Boy — "1 know it snre; I came of a very old family, and my ancestors can't stand the excitement of two leagues. They're dyin'off fast." — Sporting Life. The Friscos' new Bhort stop — Everett is a good one. He has the right method of handling ground balls, is sure on high flies, and is a wonderfully speedy and accurate thrower. He appears to be weak at the bat, but a correct estimate of a placer's merits in this department cannot be made by the first week's work. 8heridan, the new Players' League umpire, is a good one. He has a strong, but indistinct voice, as for instance, when he says "two balls" it sounds like "towel biles," but he is quick in rendering decisions, uses excellent judgment and, like Gaffney, is firm, and by a wave of the hand silences a player like magic, before tbe latter has a chance to "kick". —Life. In Chicago on July 28th, "during a game between the Brotherhood club of that city and the Brooklyns, Van Hal- tren, of the latter club, was hit in the back by a pitched ball and threw his bat at pitcher King. The young Pacific Coast bill tosser was roundly hissed for his exhibition of temper, and soon made a wild throw that cost his club the game. — Exchange. It isrepoited that arrangements are being made to have Btockwell transferred to Stockton wherA he is to catch and take charge of the team. The Ga3 City Club has long been in need of a capable headwork backstop and it is to be hoped that the ex-Clevelander will fill the bill. The team is in all other respects as strong as any in the league and with the right man behind the bat will certainly do considerable win- ning. McLaughlin cannot be counted a wonderful success as an umpire. While he is apparently honest, active and ener- getic he is by no means the equal of Sheridan, Gagus or Donahue His decisions thus far on bases has been generally good and his judgment on balls and strikes which he accen- tuates by a series of gestures, is but fair though impartial. Where he seems most at fault, however, is in detecting fonl tips. Already we have noticed four players called out on strikes whereas in each case they had made a fonl tip and should have had another chance at the ball. Just why Charley Sweeney was released and a player whose erratic actions has caused him to be known all over the country, is sigoed to replace him is a matter difficult to fathom. Sweeney is certainly one of the greatest and most gentlemanly players in the business, having few superiors as a first baseman, and being a heavy and most reliable bats man. His abilities as a pitcher, general versatility as a player, and thorough knowledge of all the intricacies of the game should make his valne inestimable, and the fact of his deviating from the roles in not reporting for practice when a reasonable excuse could be given should have met with nothing further than a reprimand or fine. Yeach is a good first baseman, but as a player is not (in it" with Sweeney, and being a man almost impossible to discipline, causes many to think that with Finn its a case of "out of the frying pan into the fire." Sweeney, however, is just as well satis- fied, as he has aspirations for political honors, being a can- didate in the coming election for Assemblyman from the 37th district. The Amateurs. SANTA KOSA vs. BURLINGTONS. Sunday, Aug. 3rd 1890 at Santa Ro3a. The Santa Rosa's landed themselves again in first place by defeating the Bnrlingtons in a very loosely played contest. The Railroaders hit harder, but their fielding was poor, and this caused their defeat. The Sonoma boys were strength- ened by Josh Reilly, late of the E. T. Aliens and San Fran- ciscos, and he immediately became immensely popular through his earnest and clever playing. Callen was in the box for the home team and Rohan for the visitors, and both were awfully wild. Rohan sent six men to base on balls but Callen, although only awarding three bases, evened up mat" ters by hitting four men. While the game was, generally speaking, a poor one, there weie some very interesting feat- ures, prominent among which was the left field playing of Billy Gimmtl. The "little demons" six chances were all difficult ones, but he accepted them in his usual finished style. Stultz and Dnnn at third, Reilly at second and Kelly at first also distinguished themselves by making some beautiful stops and catches. Conghlin, Dunn, Mulvey and Reilly led at the bat. Harry Brown's umpiring gave general satisfaction. The score: Santa Rosas. i Bubxikgtoxb. sb fo a e abe bh sb po a e 6 1 0 Bradley, 2 D....3 Games Played by the California Amateur Leagme. The up country boys and the Aliens were winners Sunday which makes a change in the position of the leaders.and also places the Marines and Sports on a firmer footing. The Santa Rosas are again in the lead with the Reports a very strong second. The Youcg Giants have dropped a little but are still a safe third. Vallejo is improving and must be con- sidered a "warm member," while as the schedule is but half completed.the Railroaders and Sports have yet a good chance to catch up.

Sunday, Aug. 3, 1890, at Haight St. This was one of the prettiest morning games ever played at the Haight St. grounds in which tbe team doing the heavi- est stick work got left. The "Sports" were on their mettle and tired of being defeated by the Giants put up an excellent exhibition in the field, and although their pitcher, Philpot, was banged out for thirteen hard hits, the sharpest kind of out-fielding reduced them all to singles and aided by equally as clever work in the infield prevented their opponents from tallying except in three innings. The Sports played a decid- edly up hill game but in the eight, Geishaker, who was the brilliant star of the game as far as fielding went, availed himself of a golden opportunity to show his value as a bat- ter and his timely hit is largely reponsible for the Sports' victory. "With two men on bases and one out, the little sor- rel topped fielder, who bad two strikes and three balls called on him, met one of Howell's criss-cross curves firmly and squarely and planted it safely in short right for as clean a hit as was ever made on the grounds. Two runs came in on the bit and this so encouraged Keller's men that before the last band was out every man in the team had a turn atbatinthe inning, and when retired VALLEJO vs. REPORTS. Su.vdat, Aug. 3rd, 1890, at Vallejo. The Marines hit harder, fielded better and ran bases more cleverly than their opponents and so won one of the finest and moat exciting games ever played on any amateur dia- mond in the State. Both teams had out their best available material, and judging by the way the Navy Yard boys played they will certainly make things decidedly uncomfortable for the present leaders. Baltz was very effective, sustaining his reputation as a strike out terror, and was far steadier than usual, sending but one man to his base on balls. But four hits, divided between the four best hitters in the Report team, were all tnat were made off him. His support was faultless. Williams was not hit heavily, but sufficiently bard to give the Marines an advantage. His team's support was not of the best character, although every man played hard to win. Sharp did some phenomenal fielding in left, catch- ing two difficult flies and doubling up runners at second each time. Other features were Maguire'a strong hitting, Far- rell's catching and the infielding of Murdock, Hughes, Stan- ford, Maguire, Creamer, Thompson and Monet. Zemansky (Russell) umpired tbe game and created a able impression. The score: Solly favor- dajxy reports. AB.B. BH.8B.P0 A . E Monet, 1.

Ashman's Reports are now secijtrd: •' Vallej 3 looks like the datkhors'e in the race. Jack Lewis of the Sports is^on the sick list. Bart Parker'B throwinJ-iB not as good as in former years. In the last th*b? .'gomes Delmas and BillingB have hoth made nine kits./ ', ' Monet )s one of the best first basemen in the Amatenr League. '• Leland and Parker will hereafter alternate behind the ba for the Sports. ' Philpot and Parker will be the Allen battery Sunday against the Giants. The Santa Rosas have McCarthy and Cook. a great ontfield in Gimmel, Josh Reilly greatly strengthen the Sinta Rosas in their weakest spot — second base . It is reported that John Dow is playing first base for a minor league team in New York. Hearty has retnrned from Seattle and is to be seen in his old position— right field with the Reports. Last Sunday Geishaker accepted seven chances in left field and Gimmel Bix. This is ball playing. Joe Corbett, a coming short stop and brother of the great and only Jim, is again playing with the St. Mary's College team. Tom Buckley is playing the beBt kind of ball both as re- gards hitting and covering his first base position for the "Sports." Joe Leveque has accepted the terms of the Salem manage- ment— one hundred dollars per month, and is now playing with that team. Jack Ryan is no longer a Marine. Too bad the Vallejo management couldn't make use of him, as he is one of the best first basemen on the Coast. Joe Mnrdock, at one time short stop for the Knickerbock- ers and lately with the E. T. Aliens, is at present playing a tine game at third base for Vallejo. Center fielder Lohman of the Aliens is a brother of Pete Lohman of theOaklands. The Lohman brothers were the battery for the Los Angeles team last year. Rusb Pace's thumb is now healed sufficiently to permit of his playing. Pace is never satisfied unless in harnesB, and undoubtedly he will catch to-morrow's game. As pretty a bit of playing as was ever Been at the Haight street grounds was Tillson's wonderful catch of a high fly last Sunday for which he had a difficult run to left field. The Vallejos have a most valuable man in Tom Maguire. The athletic shortstops, hitting, fielding and base running is "out of sight" and Tom oan have any part of Vallejo he wants. Charley Van Haltran, a brother of the redoubtable George, and who has played several excellent games for the "SportB." has accepted an engagement from the the Port Townsend management. Jimmy Geishaker's brilliant work in left field last Sunday morning was in itself well worth the price of admission. Jimmy is an excellent substitute for McCarthy, and should be regularly played in the left garden. Mclntyre, Pace and Sharp wont have the batting honors all to themselveB. Frank Delmas, 8trand and Billings have lately been doing some tremendous work with their wagon tongues, and just who'll lead the batting list, is, at present very doubtful. Manager Keller is ever hopeful, and he says he is still in the race. Keller certainly deserved better luck than that which seemed to constantly purBue his team, but the spell was broken Sunday, and as the season is but half over, the chances are the Sports may yet finish well near the top. The Aliens have had more players on their list this season than any other team in the League. Here are the names of the players signed thus far: McDonald, Agnew, Johnson, McGlade, Van Haltran, Philpot, Stanley, Leland, Parker, Buckley, Evatt, Murdock, Reilly, Lewis, Broderick, Geishaker, Lohman, Kelly, Tribou and Beckett. The Aliens are likely to lose the services of Matt Stanley. Managers Gage and Sheridan of the Burliogton Routes have made him an offer which is considerably more than what the Allen- care to pay and Stanley.who is the peer of any catcher in the amateur league and the equal of many in the profes- sional, feels justified in accepting the terms offered by the Burlington team. Willie Lange, formerly of Vallejo, ia making a big Buccess as catcher tor the Port Townsends. In a game recently played against one of Tacomas strongest teamB, in which the latter were defeated by a Bcore of 9 to 1, Lange had the fol- lowing record: Foor times at bat, three runs, three base hits, four bases stolen, eight put outs, fipe assists and no errors. Harry Nolan, formerly of the Clevelands of Oakland, pitched for the victors, aud Billy Hulen, who opened the season as second baseman for the Santa Rosas, played an excellent fielding game in the same poBition. The umpire of Sunday's game hida fair to become more popular than Cate. His name is Solly Zemansky, and he is just as fly as his name. He is quick, accurate and positive, and ia nut too stubborn to acknowledge a mistake when he makes it. He recognized the grandstand as a great faotor in the game, and talked to it as be would to an individual. He is in the good graces of Vallt-jo and all will be glad to have him come again.— Vallejo Chronicle. Having a personal acquaintance of many years standing with the gentleman who is the recipient of the above good- natured but honest compliment, we are pleased to take ad- vantage of this opportunity of endorsing the same sentiment. ZemanBky is one of the oldest amateur playerB on the coast, and before his arm was wrenched was considered a prize shortstop. He is every way well fitted for his new position in which we wish him all success. — Ed. SCHEDULE OF GAMES —OP THE— CALIFORNIA Base Ball League, SEASON 1890. August 9th to Aug 16th Inclusive.

Two cross country runB are announced for to-morrow. The athletes appear to be making up again and athletics are bound to receive more attention for the nest couple of months than at any period since the championship meeting. The wheelmen and oarsmen are happy as a couple of important events in their line of sport are announced for the future. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS ETC. J. J. Flynn the well known amateur sprinter has been rus- ticating at Anderson's Springs for the past three weeks. Mr. Flynn has been having a good time in general and has already proved that he is a hunter of no mean ability. Fred C. Clift of the University Athletic Club left last week for Europe where in company with his father he will travel for several months. Champion Schifferstein says that it is always best to train in sand. A spin over a sandy beach or road is sure to strength- en the legs and improve the wind. There appears to be a general falling off in the attendance at the new grounds of the Olympic Club. Many of the boys say that the grounds are too far out and that the strong winds which come in from tbe ocean at times render training out there very unpleasant. Of course it is too late now to make any change Id the location of the grounds but the wind coald be Bhut out with the aid of a higher fence. The Alpine Club members and some ot the Club boys from across the bay are indignant at the remarks which appeared in the Sporting column of a daily paper last Sunday referring to all the clubs outside of the Olympic as being "Small fry." They say that the Olympic Club is of course the leading club on the Pacific Coast but for many years after itB organization it was unable to place a good athletic team in the field. Dan Cohen of the Alameda Olympic Club will travel to Sacramento on Sept. 17, and will be a starter io the 2-mile handicap run. P. D. Skillman will probably mike Sin Franc'sco his future home. Either Parcell or SchifferBtein can now retire without fear of crippling their clnb. The pic-nic season is about over and the picnic runners will be compelled to lie on the shelf until next year. Many of them are now sorry that they did not remain in the am- ateur ranks. It is an assured fact that some good amateur athletic meetings wilt be held during the nest six months at which only amateurs will be permitted to compete and the poor misguided picnic runners will be obliged to sit on the fence and look on. The Alpine Club in conjunction with two other clubs may hold an athletic meeting at the West End grounds, Alameda, before long. The medals won at the last field day of the Al- pine Club will be given out as soon as the Clab is settled in its new quarters at Central Park. In Olympic circles it is reported that Bob MoArthur will be the new Field Captain. Walter A. Scott is spoken of as the most suitable man for the position of Official Handicapper, now that George Jordan has made up his mind to resign his office. At the present time the nightly attendance at the Olympic Club gymnasium is very large and many promising novices are lately being developed. The boys all Beem to take an in- terest in their task and it is very pleasing to tbe instructors to note the rapid improvement in their pupils. Several athletes have written to as for information about the Sacramento Athletic meeting. We are unable to Btate definitely what arrangements will be made about the free pas- sage up and return but President Scott of the P. C. A. A. A. will shortly publish the full particulars. Unless their fares are paid both ways but few of the amateurs will attend. The annual championship meeting of the American Athle- tic Union will be held at Washington, D. C, on August 11. Ed. Dillon, the well known sport promoter of Fishkill-on- the-Hudson, N. Y., is to give a thirty hours go as you please race, open to the world, commencing at 2 p. m. on Monday, Sept. 1st, Bud ending on the following Saturday. The con- testants will travel ten hours on the first day, and four hours daily thereafter. The entrance fee is five dollars, which can be sent to Ed. Dillon, maoager, or Peter Golden, at the Dillon Athletic Grounds, not later than Aug. 25. The members of the Acme Athletic Club of Oakland take a great interest in hand ball. There is always a big attend- ance in the gymnasium od Tuesday evenings when Prof. DeWitt Van Court giveB boxing lessons. The club rooms are situated on 14th street near Harrison. CROSS COUNTY RUNS. To-morrow the members of the Olympic Athletio Club will hold a croBS country run from San Mateo. Scott, Cooley, Skillman and Espinosa will be the scratch men. The run will be in tbe shape of a contest, time handicaps beiDg al- lowed. Some of the members who do not favor competition will not attend, but the regular competing athletes will make up a very large field of starters and fast time may be ex- pected. The Alameda Olympic and Alpine Amateui L*hle!ic clul will hold a combined crosscountry run to-morrow afternooi The start will take place from the room of the Alameda Clul on Lincoln Avenue near Park street, and will begin at o'clock. The run will be to Bay Farm Island and return, distance of about four miles. The road is in fine conditio] and the pace will be very moderate. All amateurs are in- vited to attend. Athletes from this side should leave on th< 1 o'clock Oakland boat and take the Alameda train (broa< gauge) to Park St. THE WHEELMEN. Last Sunday the Alameda Bicycle Club divided, some wen to Haywards and some to Milpitas. They all enjoyed the moonlight run home. Bicycling is booming acrosstbe bay, especially id Alameda, where almost every other resident owns a wheel. Many ladies may be seen daily on their wheels, and in the after- noon and evening dozens of young men practice on Centra! Avenue. The Alameda Club will make an excellent showing | on the occasion of the road race. The Bay City Wheelmen have incorporated, and a lot for I the new club house will be purchased at once. George P. Wetmore and Sanford Plummer of the B C W | are taking a couple of weeks vacation in the country. A number of wheelmen were in the Park on Sunday last. As no entrance fee will be charged for the coming roa< Tace, it will be out of the question for the Bay City Wheel- men to give extra prizes. Suitable and valuable prizes, how ever, will be awarded. We are in receipt of a programme of the 11th annual meet- ing of L A W which will be held at Niagara Falls on August 25, 26 and 27 . The programme is very neatly gotten up and contains several interesting views of the Falls besides several pages of valuable information to visiting wheelmen. The following list of races will be decided: one, two and five miles ordinary; one, two and five miles Bafety; one, two and three miles tandem, all championship. 1 mi'e ordinary and 1 mile safeiy for Dovicea. 1 mile safety, 1 mile ordinary, tor 3 minute class. 1 mile ordinary and 1 mile safety, handicap (100 yards lim- it), i mile ordinary, £ mile safety, 1 mile safety, 1 mile or- | dinary, open. One-half mile safety, 1 mile team race. £ mile ordinary, mile tandem, open. $1 entrance fee will be charged for each event. The annual race meeting of the Montreal (Can.) Bicycl Club 1b to take place at the grounds of the Montreal A A i on Saturday afternoon, Aug. 30, commencing at three o'clock rain or shine. The programme is as follows: One mile, greei roadsters, (35 lb or over); half mile, open; 8S0 yds. foot, open two miles, roadster, (351b or over); five miles, open; one mile, three minute class; two miles, safety, handicap; one mile, open: 220yds. foot, open; half mile, without bauds; thre miles- handicap, and obstacle race. A special prize will I awarded to the competitor scoring the greatest number < points. A valuable prize will be awarded for any Canadian record broken. Entries close Aog 27; with Arthur Harries, honorary secretary, P O Box 938, Montreal. The races will take place on a one-third mile cinder track. Electrio timing The conntry roads are in a very bad condition and th sooner a little rain falls the better for the wheelmen. IN THE SURF. An elegant bath house is about to be erected at Santl Crnz close to the Railroad. Therewasa good attendance at the Shelter C«7e baths] last Sunday morning. The Palace and Crystal bathsare filled with bathers almost i every night. Every ladies' night the fair sex may be seen in the tanks in large numbers. The Terrace Baths at Alameda are doing a splendid business just now, owing to tbe hot weather across the bay. Mrs. McLaue Mirtin and Miss Isabelle Hewit are attract- ing considerable attention at Santa Cruz by tbeir graceful and daring swimming feats- Business is rushing at Sinta Cruz this Beason. The num- ber of visitors there at the present time 1b unusually large J and the beach presents a charming sight every morning and afternoon when the ladies appear in their bright and artistic bathing costumes. At Mouterey last Sunday morning a party composed of ' Miss Leila Carrall, Miss Hope Ellis, Mrs. T. Hopkins, Miss 1 Lottie Clark, Walter Deane, A H Small and Dan Murphy swam out away beyond the raft and returned jast before the advent of the shoal of porpoises that created so much ex- citement. The annual swimming race between ladies for the ocean amatenr championship of Americw, will come off at Coney: Island on Aug. 23. The distance is half a mile, and the race is open to all lady swimmers, the course being from Brighton! Beach Hotel to Doyle's Pavilion. The prizes consist of gold, silver and bronze medals, and tbe entries close with William Johnson, at Doyle's Pavilion, West Brighton, Coney Island, on Aug. 20. W. Evans was the winner of the annua) race for the half mile amateur swimming championship of England, decided at Hollingworth Lake, near Rochdale, O. July 5. They wen* 1890 f ft* 2Pr*efor attfl Mwrlsmnn. 103 fifteen contestants, and the order of the finish was: Evans, A Smith, B A Hart and A M Langdon. Time, 14m, 3Ss. Among the original members of the newly organized New York Swimming Club are H T Brann, Charles Renner, Geo. Benner, John Hatton. S B marks and Charles Ams. They have quarters at tbe foot of East Sixty-fifth St., E B, and they intend to hold an open amateur tournament on Sept. 13, the events to be decided consisting of races at 220, 440 and 880 yards. The entries will close Sept. 6, with John Hatton, as above. THE GAME OF CRICKET. About a dozen cricketers met in the barber shop of George Wolf; Webster St-, Alameda, on Monday evening. Several very important questions were discussed and arrangements weie made for several matches to be played in the future. The probabilities are that the West End grounds at Ala- meda will be permanently secured by the Cricket Clubs. The Alpirje team will give a free exhibition game at Central Park some Saturday afternoon this month. It is reported that some of the local clubs will arrange to practice at Central Park. The Alameda grounds are too far away for the local clubs and only the clubs across the bay will use them after a while. A game of cricket was played at the Alameda grounds on , Sunday, the competing clubs being the Pacific and i.he Zin garis. The playing was not up to the usual standard as most of the players were out of practice. The rtsult was a draw each club having played one inning. The lateness of the hour prevented the match from being finished. Hereafter matches can be played weekly at the Alameda grounds, which are to be renovated. A cricket association will soon be formed if the clubs con- tinue to spring up as they have been doing for the past month or so. AT THE OARS. The Ariel Club's High Jinks was well attend last Sunday. The programme consisted of boxing, singing etc. The mem- bers furnished the visitors with a fine collation. The Oakland Canoe Club heli its seventh monthly race for the Canoe Club trophy in the Brooklyn Basin last Sun- day afternoon. The run was made from the boat house of the club to Brooklyn Basin and return. The run out was before a wind which was very favorable, but on the return the canoes had to beat dead agMnst the win I. The race was made when the tide was about to turn. The following are the results with the names of those who manned canoes: First clasB — Gnat, — G. A. Warder, 43min. 31secs.; Dart — J. Olsen, 52 min, 15 sees ; Mystic — W. W. Blow, 55 min. 10 sees. Second class — Gypsy — A. H. Blow, 56 min. 30 sees.; Whis- per— W. G. Morr, 57 min. 35 sees.; Bjnita — A. L. Gump, 64 min. 10 sees. The Alameda Boat Club sent their amateur crew over to oontest in the races held at the Ariel Club'd High Jinks last Sanday. It is safe to predict that they will win the Fourth of July trophy next year. The Pioneer Club is showiDg much life and spirit at pres- i ent. Every available boat and sailing ciaft belonging to the olnb is called into use on Sundays. The older members of . the clnb make up excursion parties, and with their friends spend the day picnicing and feasting. The South End Clnb has found its mascot, as the mem- bership increases at the rate of about twenty a month. The club meetings are held in Judga Stafford's court room, New City Hall, on tbe 2nd and 3rd Tuesday in each month. Tbe Ariel Club can turn out more crews and single scullers , at the N. S G W. Reggtta to be held Sept. Stt, than any i other of the clubs. The club intends sending forth a pro- fessional crew that will easily lower the colors of the South Ends. The Pacific Rowing Association met last Monday night at Irish American Hall and appointed a committee of one from ; each club to arrange a benefit to take place atone of the ] principal theatres during the month of O^tobor and Novem- ber. The Alameda Boat Club was elected a member of tbe association. The classifying of the rowing men was deferred to some , future period. As the association is yet in its infancy, it was resolved to discharge the committee subject to the future growth of the organization. In discussing the places of holding the coming regatta of ' the N S G W a majority of the 582 members, oomposing the clubs in San Francisco and vicinity, favor the regular Alameda mole course where a'l tbe oarsmen would be on i an equal footing. It would be impossible except at Richard- flona Bay to find a more suitable place. The committee would do well to select ihe Alameda course for many reasons. An effort should be made to have the races start promptty at JO a. m., so that the programme would be finished to al- lowed the visitors to return to dinner in good time. CLUB JOTTINGS. The Alameda Olympic Club will give a "ladies night" ex- hibition on Friday euening, August 15tb. Dancing will fol- low the exhibition. Tbe programme will include boxing, clab twinging, horizontal bar exercise, tumbling, vaulting, feDcing, weight-lifting, wrestling, jumping, pyramid, etc. Several leading amateurs will appear and the exhibition is bound to be worth witnessing. The Alpine Club will move from 706 Powell Street to its new rooms at Central t*ark about the end of next week. The new rooms, besides being centrally located will be nicely :*J furnished, and the members will be allowed the use of the i:' Park to train in. Exhibitions of cricket, football, etc., will :c be given on Saturday afternoons and Sundays When the -: club moves to Central Park it is expected that the member- ship will be largely increased. The club will elect new offi- cers shortly. The Lurline Club has expelled about fifty members for non-payment of dues. There are still over one hundred good paying members in the club, and the Directors did well in weeding out the bad members. A good many athletes who belong to associate clubs of the P C A A A think that the Olympic Club would act wisely in . - allowing them to use its grounds in consideration of the small z* monthly fee. Tbe grounds are not quite as popular now as when thev were first opened, and by allowing all the re- ntable amateurs a chance to train out there it might help :o boom the place again* NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. A youDg runner asked me the other day why the P C A A I did not give a picnic. "Why," said he, "if the association »fts to hold a picoic after the style of the Thistle or Caledo- nian Clubs, it would be a howling success." I quite agree frith my yonng friend, but it is rather too late in the season now to thinfc of such a thing. The idea will keep until next year. I spent a very enjoyable evening in the club rooms of the Alameda Olympic Club on Tuesday evening last. The boys were practicing tooth and nail for their coming exhibition. A more good-natured, hard working set of young athletes I never saw before. Leader John E. Byler was very busy in- structing his men, and from the showing they made, I think the affair will be a grand Bnocess. President Charles E. Elliot smiled as he told me how good the boys were. "Our membership is not so very large," said he, "but they are all rustlers." I noticed the following athletes exercising: PNahl, A Nahl, W Osborn, Paul Turnbnll, John E Byler (leader), Leon Hew- ston, Fred Holgren, Dan Cohen, George Morse, Ambrose Snow. The regular class nights are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The following 16 a list of the officers: President, Chas E Elliott: vice-President, S P Mesick; Secretary. J H Holton; Treasurer, R A Lavenstein; Leader, J E Byler; Ex- ecutive Committee, P W Barton, Perham W Nahl, Giles Bradley and W F Cbipman. I took a ride out to the Bay District track on Sunday, and wag surprised to see some of the Olympic boys running on the track. Henderson and Garrison Bprinted a little. Char- ley Little was also out there, and he appears to be in good condition. What for? If the Olympic Club intends holding a meeting next month, t is high time the programme was issued. A member of the Olvmpic Club told me confidently that "Strangler"' Lewis could easily have thrown McLeod if he so desired. Lewis had a motive in acting as he did, and if he and McLeod ever come together again, the result will be dif- ferent. "Rambler." AMATEUR WRESTLERS. Cole wins the match from Haberly at the Olympic Club. About 400 members of the Olympic Club assembled in their gymnasium on Wednesday evening to witness the long- talked of wrestling match between the middle weights, W T Haberly and E E Cole. Leader Hamnier-irmth was chosen master of ceremonies. Haberly scaled 154 pounds while Cole weighed 9 pounds lighter. Both men were in fine con- dition. F F Scaolan of the Acme Club acted as referee while Eugene Van Court and Jeff Martin were chosen as judges. In thirteen and one half minutes Cole managed by means of a half Nelson and crotch combination to put Haberly's shoulders squarely on the mat amid great applause. The first bout was exciting in the extreme and both men showed considerable strength and science. Ecgene "Van Court and Jeff Martin then gave a good exhi- bition of wrestling in the catch-as-catch-can style for about five minutes. When they had fioished their bout the first couple came on the floor again to continue their match Cole again downed his man in ten minutes and so won the match. This fall was won only after a hard and exciting struggle. Haberly got severely punished having been cross buttooked several times by his rival. It was thought that his short ribs were broken but on examination it was found that such was not the case, but still he was pretty well shak- en up. Professor G. Miehling and Dan McLeod wound np the nights sport with a clever exhibition of catch-aB-catch-can wrestling, in which McLeod proved himself to be a very clev- er and strong wrestler. The prizes won at the last wrestling tournament, which took place on May 13th last were distributed by Treasurer Henry B. Russ. The principal match of the evening was wrestled in the catch-as-catch-can style. On the whole the entertainment was highly interesting and the members pres- ent went away fully satisfied.

I got it out open on three different occasions bnt it always filled again. Now it feels quite hard and Bolid while at first it was only a sack full of floid. I don't see the nse of opening it any more as there is nothing soft or flniri to be let ont of it, and it has got larger after each cnttiDg. Wonld yon recommend to blister it, or tell me if there is any way of getting rid of it. Answer.— The only way to get rid of it permanently is to get it cut clean ont. It is a simple operation bnt I wonld not recommend you to try it yourself. Better get a veterinary surgeon. H. E. I have a four year old colt that has not yet oast the tem- porary middle teeth, and the new teeth have come out in front of them. Will they fall out themsel fes or should I get them extracted. They do not interfere with his eating. Answer.— By all means get tbem extracted. T. M. My horse got a bunch on the withers about three months ago and although I fermented it with hot water, and applied Kendal's spavin cure to it, it does not come down any. About a month ago it broke and is since discharging matter. I Drobsl the hole and found it to be about'three inches deep. What is it? and what treatment do you recommend; Answer.— Tour horse has got Fistulous Withers. Open the fistula with a knife so as to give free vent to the matter. Foment the part with warm water, syringe it out daily with a solution of one part of carbolic acid to 40 of wa- ter, and keep the horse on soft food. You had better get a veterinary snrgeon to attend to it or communicate with us again about it. If the parts are callous, it will require more severe treatment, and if the bones are diseased, the diseased part must be removed. Answers to Correspondents.

Did you ever hear of a horse called Paris Boy Jr., and if so, will you answer through your paper and give the pedi- gree of him ? Answer. — We do not know the horse. G. C. V. I should be much obliged if you would inform me through your paper whether "Owen Dale" is registered or not, and whether any of his get have shown speed. Answer. — Owen Dale was a thoroughbred horse, not a trotter, and is not registered. A Subscriber. I would like for you to inform me, through your paper, how old Palo Alto is, and how old Jack is, and also how many races Jack has trotted, and how many races Palo Alto has trotted? Answer. — Palto Alto is eight years old, and has trotted in twenty races. Jack is seven years old, and has trotted in forty two races. Two California horses won in the East last Thursday, At Saratoga the mile and five-eighths was won by Santa Anita Stable's Los Angeles, who won in a canter by three lengths, with Senator Hearst's Rbono, second. At Mon- mouth Park, Firenze ran one of tbe best races she has ever run, carrying 115 lbs. she compassed the mile and a half in 2:33i, on a dead slow track. Tenny, her sole opponent lay loo far back, but after being three lengths behind at the half distance, gradually closed the gap just failing to get up by a neck. WILL & FIMJK.

Sometime ago our attention was called to the fact that on the departure of almost every Australian steamer that one or more horses were being shipped to the anti- podes, and a suggestion made that it would be a good idea for the Australian readers of the Breeder and SportbHAH to know exactly what animals were being sent over there. On one or two occasions a representa- tive of this paper has been on hand at the departure of the steamers, but whenever horses were found it seemed that those having them in charge would always plead ignorance of pedigree, and no information could be ob- tained. By the last mail we have received from a friend a catalogue of American trotting horses iu which it is claimed that they were imported by Messrs. Trestrail & Burns, and were for sale by Wm. Inglis & Son, Horse Bazaar, Pitt St., Sydney. In an advertisement it is claimed "that the horses to be offered for sale are of high classed quality and have bren especially selected in America for this market by Messrs. Trestrail & Burns, who are first class judges." Thy belief is forced upon us that Messrs. Trestrail *fc Burns either know nothing whatever about a trotting horse, or are trying to deceive the Australian public. Prior to the shipment of this last lot of horses, a person was sent to this office by those claiming to own them, and pedigrees were asked for each of them. We positively refused to make out any pedi- grees for the horses unless breeders' certificates could be shown us, as we did not choose to take the simple word of those who were about to ship them. As an illustration of how their catalogue is made up we herewith give the pedigree of one of them: ALFRED D. Bay Gelding— Foaled 1SS4. By Dan Poor Lees [887], out of Norwood by Ham- bletonian [10]; from Lady Fallis, the dam of Socrates, Kisbar, etc., by American Star [14], out of a daughter of L. J. Black Hawk. The sire of Alfred D. was by General M'Lellau [144] out of Mutraced; General M'Lellau, by North Star, out 0f a mare by Red Iron* The ignorance displayed in the above pedigree is sim- ply ridiculous to those who know anything at all about the American trotting horse. Ignorance is probably a charitable word to use, for in the first place Dan Poor Lees is not No. SS7 in tb.6 American Trotting Register, nor is a horse of that name in by any other number. Lady Fallis never had a filly foal called Norwood but did have a stallion colt which is registered as No. 522. We have every occasion to know that General McClellan was never mated to a mare called Mutraced, and while General McClellan had for a sire North Star, it will be information to many who knew the old horse here, to know that he waB out of a mare by Red Iron. The balance of the catalogue is equally at fault, and •t seems a shame that our Australian cousins who may 8ee fit to buy trotting horses should be imposed upon in such a bare-faced manner. It would be a good idea in future for those who wish to purchase trotting horses from importers to demand a breeders' certificate, certi- fied to by the English Consul in this city. If that were done such men as Trestrail & Burns would soon find their piesent business a losing speculation. Who Has Made the Mistake? Mistakes will at times happen in the best regulated fa miles, and it would seem that a mistake has been made in the pedigree of a bay mare called Wamba, who started in a race at the Bay District Track on Saturday, July 12th last. From the high standing of all the parties concerned, there can be no doubt for an instant but that an uniutentional error has been made, or that Mr. Outh- waite has been imposed on. Sam Gamble, the Superin- tendent of the Hobart Stock Farm, had a mare called Wamba, whose pedigree was given as being by Elec- tioneer, dam Winona by Almont, second dam Dolly by Mambrino Chief, sent to him for the purpose of mating to Stamboul; the instructions from Mr. Outhwaite were that after she was bred, he would like very much to get a record for her, and it was in furtherance of that plan that Mr. Gamble started her in the race al- luded to. The Breeder and Sportsman made mention of the race at the time it occurred, and the item in ref- erence thereto was read by Mr. J. E. Green, President of the Second National Bank of Louisville, Ky., and that gentleman has sent to us the following letter: Louisville, Ky., July 29. 1890. To The Editor Breedee and Sportsman, San Francisco, Cal —Dear Sir:— In one of your recent papers I notice an account of a race in which a mare purporting to be "Wamba" by "Electioneer, " out of "WinoDa" by "Almont," next dam "Dolly" by "Mambrino Chief," etc., etc., and owned by a gentleman by the name of Outhwaite, took part. Now this mare was sold at one of the "Palo Alto" sales in New York, and bought by Mr. Frank Work. She was driven by John Murphy, as your account Btates, and I have several letters from him about her. I bonght the mare from Mr. Work for the "Glenview Stock Farm" and have her now on the farm. As there seems to be a great big mistake somewhere I would suggest yon call public attention to it, and you may use this letter for that purpose. Very truly, John E. Green. We have no doubt but what the mistake can be easily rectified, and trust that Mr. Gamble or Mr. Outhwaite will send us a letter showing how it occurred. A Day at Resaca. It was a jolly party that accompanied Col. Harry I. Thornton last Sunday to his home in the picturesque Contra Cost* hills. R. V. McDonald, of Fort Wayne' Indiana; William Thomas, of Virginia City; Julius C Reis, of this city; Capt. T. B. Morry, of Oregon and the editor of this paper. Leaving the city on the 9 o'clock trip to Oakland, they reached the Colonels house by 11 o'clock and sat down to a "soft toddy" under the branch- ing gums. Thence to the paddocks, where the get of Madison, (a good son of Anteeo) were galloping be- side the scions of the mighty Mariner, in whose veins flow tho blood of Wild Dayrell and Bay Middleton. The youngsters all showed the effdct of strong pasture, coupled with no end of lung power. On goiug to the course, Mr. Raiz took a spiu around the track behind his favorite old mare Alpha Medium, after which the hospitable host invited his guests into the house for a dinner at which he fully sustained his old reputation as an entertainer. There was fried chicken that would have tempted Lucullus, some claret that was a poem and a Balad that was a overture to "Semiramide." At 4.20 the guests heard the ominous sound of the ap- proaching train, and shook hands with their hospitable host. Two hours on the "rawhide railroad," as the emaciated youth from Oregon are wont to style it, and we were all back in the city. Such days are full of sun- shine. They bring back dreams of youth and recall them not iu vain. Reno and Carson. The Nevada State Agricultural Society will hold its Fair and Racing Meeeing from September 22nd to 27th inclusive; while the Ormsby County Agricultural Asso- ciation will hold its annual meeting from September 29th to October 4th inclusive. The first mentioned Fair is held at Reno, and in past years many representative hor- ses have gone over from this State to the neighboring one and in nearly every instance have made much money by doing bo. Carson has likewise been well patronized in the past and as both of these Associations are advertising first class programmes, it is more than probable that this year will be no exception to the rule and that many of the fast runners, trotters and pacers will cross the mounlains to participate in the sport in Nevada. The entries for both of the Associations close on August loth and as this is the last chance for us to mention these two Meetings, it would be as well for those who contem- plate entering, to look carefully over the advertised lists and make their entries at once. The purses are good; the Directors of both of these Societies have done every- thing in the past that was possible for the comfort of horses and horsemen who attended their meetings; the people are hospitable; the weather cool and bracing, and the change from the hot California weather at that sea- son of the year, will be a relief to miny who no . doubt will take advantage of these two meetings. A Postponement. We have received notice from the Secretary of the 17th Agricultural Association stating that the Directors have decided to postpone the Fair, which was originally set for August 19th until the week after the State Fair. The fruit is in a somewhat backward condition, and as that exhibition' is one of the great drawing cards for Glenbrook Park, the Directors have no doubt decided on a wise step in making the postponement mentioned.

Racing at lone The Fair at lone opened nnder very favorable auspices. The track was in first-class oondition, and the attendance for the b'rst day exceedingly fair. It mnst be confessed that the heat played sad havoc with those who were accustomed to San Frandsco elimate, the thermometer registering 110 in the shade. The judges for the day were E. C. Voorhees and TJ. S. Gregory. The first race, a mile and a half had for starters Tycoon, who sold for £10 in the pools, Sheridan $4, while the field consisting of Hotspur, Fanny F., Nerva and Alfer- titta brought $6. Fanny F bro^e away in the lead when the the nag fell and led to the half-mile pole where she was head- ed by Sheridan, who was leading at the three-quarter mark, on entering the home Btretch Alferetta was given her head and she won by a short head from Tycoon. Time, 1:57. The second race on the programme was for two year olds, a dash of five-eighths of a mile; the field sold for $10, Qnena for $4, while the Dnke of Milpitas sold for 56. On the sec- ond attempt the flag fell, the Duke of Milpitas quickly show- ing in the front which position he maintained until the out- come, winning in a common canter by four lengths. Time, 103}. The third race was a quarter of a mile and repeat, Haw- thorne winning the first heat in 23J. "While the horses were scoring for the second heat, Comet, one of the hordes jumped the fence injuring himself and his rider, bo the judges allowed him to be withdrawn. Hawthorne had no difficulty in winning the seconi heat. Time, 23*. The pools sold, Hawthorne $10, Sleepy Dan $5, the field $4; after the first heat, Hawthorne was the choice tt $10 while the field sold for $5. Summaries. First Racp.— Free for all. One-eighth mile.

The Terre Hante Express says that Goldsmith has great hopeBof bringing the two-year old trotting record to Sen Ma- teo farm this season with Vida Wilkes, a chestnut filly by Gny Wilkes, dam by Nutwood. She is said to be the fastest thing ever bred on the farm and good judges say that she will come near touching Sunol's great two year old mark of 2:18. Mr. Corbitt is reported to have signified his willing- ness to wager even money that she will beat 2:20 in her two- year-old form. San Mateo ha« several other yonng things in training gifted with enoogb speed to make one's eyes pop. It is all the wealth of California against a pint of peanuts that Mr. Corbitt never offered to make any such wager, he is too conservative to make such a break. Peter B'andow has named his Abbotsford— Agoes horse, Free Coinage. The Hickok, Salisbury aod Palo Alto Stables will all be seen at the Breeders Meeting in October. While you are looking around for probable winners at San Jose, keep a sharp lookout for Keepsake and Breaury Mc. Billy Appleby seems almost invincible at Lob Angeles and lone having won four races at Los Angeles and two at lone. Kildeer the Bancocas two year old by Darebin from Lou Lanier won a clever race last Thursday at Monmouth Park. This afternoon a match race will fake place at Portland, Oregon, between the two well known trotters, Alta and Kitty Ham. Al Farrow won S1750 at St. Panl, while the Montanans won $2745 with Nevada, Brown Fox $2240, Bainier £2025 and War Peak 51230. Many of Eastern Associations have tried to secure the noted Axtell for exhibition, but the new owners name a price that is simple prohibitive. Bead the advertiBment of the Portland Speed Association and make your entries for the running races which will take place from September 9th to 13th. Longshot made a successful debut over sticks last Thurs- day at West Side Park, Chicago, beating the favorite Win- slow cleverly in a mile and an eighth, hurdle race. It is now claimed that Andrews, the driver for Mr. Ham- lin at the Village Stock Farm, has sent Chimes a quarter in 3H seconds. He will be sent to beat his record this fall. Alicia, by Genrgie Wilkes, dam Alma Mater by Mambrino Pachen and full sister to Alcyone, 2:17. and Alcantara, 2: 23, secured a record of 2:30 at St. Paul. Thus another perfor- mer is added to Alma Mater's already full list. Manager, a two year old by Nutwood, paced a mile at In- dependence, Iowa in 2:19} which is If seconds faster than the previous record. On the same day and track Barnhardt a brother to Axtell reduced his record to 2:22$. The 300-yard running race, held on the Tnrlock Running Association's track last week, between Harry Steam's mare "Ginger Ale", and Ed Ducker's mare "Minnie", was won by the latter by three lengths. The parse was for $100. The question is frequently asaeu: "When is Palo Alto go- ing to start to try and beat the Stallion record?" The only engagement that I have heard for him to undertake the feat is at the Queen Driving Park, Cincinnati, next month. The Bed "Wilkes case has ben settled by W. C. France buying Smith McCann's half interest in the horse for $30,- 000, the highest price ever paid for a half interest in a horse. Bed WilkeB is 16 years of age and by the records is the best Eon of George Wilkes. Last Saturday a race took place at Brown's Corners, Yolo County, between B. Buckley's stallion Bay Diamond and E. Woodward's Band Box. The match wes for $50 a side best two in three. Diamond won the two heats necessary in 3:35| and 3:15. In the betting Diamond w*s largely the favorite. I was muoh pleased a few days ago, with a visit paid to the wonderful panorama entitled the Battle of Gettysburg. The lecturer gave a short history of that great fight, and it was really worth listeniug to, as one could almost imagine himself on the field of action the surroundings were so per- fect. An hour or so can very profitably be spent viewing this magnificent panorama and museum. Mr, L. B. Hioks U now handling a lot of yearling trotters for L. U. Shippee Esq. of Stockton, and in a note he informs me that several of them are moving nicely. Mr. Hiuks haB had lots of experience with youngsters and his methods are of the best, so that it will not surprise me if a first class yearling should make an appearance from the home of Haw- thorne. • The Pacific Coast Live Stock Owners Mutual Protective Association is fast becoming a very popular body, and the amount of insurance issued by tbem is rapidly assuming mammoth'proportions.;Those who have not as yet taken ad- vantage of the opportunity to insure their horses and cattle should send for a prospectus to Volney Howard, general manager, room 73 Flood Building S. F. Tbe St. Louis Jockey Club sends out word that a graDd trotting meeting will commence on September 2nd and con- tinue to the 5th incluBive. There will be among other events purses of $100 for the 2:20, 2:25 and 2:30 classes. The pac- ers are not overlooked as $2,000 will be given for the 2:16 class and $1,500 for the 2:30 class. Entries to these events will close on August 22nd. It is said that tbe Washington Park people are being stroDgly urged to report as to investigations under way in regard to the running of certain horses during the recent meeting. It is understood that some people are after G. V. Hankine of the Chicago Stable, and they are anxious that he should be hauled over the coals, especially because of the defeat of Santalene by Atticus. One of the most refreshing drinkables now in the market is Jackson's Napa Soda. Daring the hot weather it is a re- lief to be able to get sparkling mineral water, especially when it is known to be pure and contain qualities that will aid the digestive organs in their great work. That Jackson'e Napa Soda is pure, is attested to by the Analytical Chemists, and is highly recommended by all physicians. Cbas. Hoppin of Yolo County dropped in on Monday to shake hands and also to leave the Dews that the colts ^ by Cubit are all that can be desired. To "a man up a tree" it looks as though the owners of Monroe Cbief times arfl losing a favorable opportunity to get extreme speed, as Cubit is full brother to CycloDe 1956, sire of Cecile 2:285. Dr. Sparks [2- year-old) 2:25A and GilUette (3-year-old) 2:25, and all of these are out of Monroe Chief mares. Alfred S. continues bis victorious career.

Tajlorof San Luis Obispo, has a magnificent three year old colt by Anlevolo dam Lady Tiffany. He is 16 hands 1$ inches in height, and for general appearance is hard to beat in any connlrv. Mr. Taylor also has a lour year old called Monroe 12967, by Munroe Cbief 875 dam Lady Tiffany, which gives great promise of speed and his owner has every conbdence that Munroe will go into the list this year. Alfred Guerne, writing from Lpxiogton, Ky , says that An- teeo had 73 marea this year at $3C0 each, making a total of $21,900 for tbe season's work. Alfred G. had 36 mares and all concer ed are well pleased with the resnlt. In addition to that the yonng Califoroian has been taken to tbe Lexirjg- ton track and all indications go to show that his record of 2:19| will be lowered this year. I wish Alfred all the luck imaginable with his young stallion and sincerely trust that his record may be dropped Beveral seconds. I had a pleasant call a few mornings ago from Charles E Needham of Belotta, owner of Steve Whipple 2:23. Last year Steve showed a mile in 2:17} and those who know the horae btst claim that even this low mark is not tbe measure of his speed. Mr. Needham reports that the yearlingB and foals are all in the best of condition and show promise enough to warrant the belief that speed will surely follow. Mr. Needbam was on his way to Pleasanton to get Twist (dam of Steve Whipple) who has been on a visit there to re- ceive the embraces of Director. The Terre Haute Association is the first to offer a "record stake" under the new rcle. As the conditions are as yet unknown here, the following is copied from their ad- vertisement so that the California Associations may know how it is worded. "Breeders Btake race for records. Entrance, $10. Not less than three horses to start. Three heats to be trotted. Horse winning a heat in 2:30 or better not to start again! Stakes divided 60 per cent to winner of fastest heat; 25 per cent to next and 15 per cent to third fastest. Field faiiino to beat 2:30 in three trials, entrance money to go to associa- tion. Last Saturday afternoun a small number of spectators as- sembled at the Bay District track to witness a match race be- tween William Voiget's bay gelding Benefactor and T. J. Power's Queen of the West. Benefactor proved the winner in three Btraight heats time 2:29f, 2:33± and 2:36$. Bene- factor is by Gen Benton dam Frolic by Harry Clay 45, 2nd dam Maori by imp Australian. He is a peculiar gaiUd horse trotting with his front feet while galloping behind, although Mr. Voiget tells me that the gelding goes much faster when trottiog squarely than when he mixes. There is but one opinion in reference to Del Monte by all who have visited that handsome place, and that is always ex- pressed in the words, "it can't be beat." Coronado has been running it a hard game in the race for popularity, and lately the Sin Diego folks have added a magnificent race track as one of the accessories to their elegantly eqdipped place. Now the Directors of the Pacific Improvement Company, owners of Del Monte, contemplate titling up a race course that will be unequaled in California. The matter is as yet in embryo, but ii carried out will add greatly to the pleasures derived in visitiDg that paradise of the Pi cine. McFerran and Clancy of Louisville. Kentucky have issued a catalogue of their trotting stock which is a useful volume for reference, as it contains much historical information that is valuable. The very appropriate name of Foundation Stud is claimed for the Farm, and as there are all the best blood liDe3 of the trotting world represented it is apt to be a foundation in more senses than one. In the introduction the proprietors Bay: "We have sought fillies of approved form running back by crosses of the best bred, most speedy, and greatest speed-producing stallions to these foundation mares, such as Gr en Mountain Maid, Ecceline, Miss Russell, Wa- terwitch, Dolly, Ned, Silly Chorister, Madam Dudley, Clara, Black Bose, etc. In all of the pedigrees the blood of several of these great mares are uniiei, and it is the purpose to still further combine tbem with those of like character though their best representatives." In 18S7, the Directors of the State Fair announced that they would give a gold medal to tbe owner of the Btallion that would show the speediest progeny in the years 1S87, 1888 and 1S89 Director 2;17. by his son and daughter, Direct 2:18^, and Margarets. 2:19], was adjudged the win- ner of the trophy, and the order was given W . K. Vander- slice & Co. of this city to prepare a suitable emblem. A few days ago the firm sent me word that the medal was ready and invited inspection. On raised bars around the sides and top are tbe words "Awarded by tbe State Agricultural Society of California to Director, 1889." In the centre is a picture of the great sire and also one each of Direct aod Margaret S. with each of their records underneath- Under tbe pictures it saya "For the best average performance of progeny in races for trotting foale, two three and four year olds at the State fairs of 18S7-88-89." Tbe medal is of exquisite workman- ship, and is a fitting testimoDial to the owner of Director. A story, more or less sensational, is going (he rounds of the California press anent the reported lameness of the great colt Flambeau. It was given out at tbe time of the spring meet- ing of the Blood Hor^e Association that Ssuator Hearst had secured the raciDg qualities of Flambeau from Palo Alto, just as he got the running qualities of Gorgo. A couple of days after the report Fiambeau started in a race and cut himself; at least it was so stated by Henry Welsh. Tho story goes now that Flambeau did not injure himself at all, tut the re- port of the injury was given ont by Henry Welsh to prevent the colt going into the Hearst stable. Welsh saw what Matt Allen did with Gorgo, and koowiog that Flambeau was tho best colt that Palo Alto had ever raised, he did not want him put into Allen's hands to be ruined, so he bandaged the colt up and allowed it to quietly leak out that be was lame, and so took him back to Palo Alto after tbe meeting at Stcramen- to. Flambeau is galloping now at Pnlo Alto. There are a good many people who believe that the story is true. — Chi- cago Horseman. The story iB not going tbe rounds of the California press, but was published in one sheet that is notorious for ite fool- ish vaporings in all matters that appertain to tbe horse. The writer has seen the "leg" and carefully examined the horse twice Bince the accident, and the large scar was plainly des- cernable less than six weeks ago. There is no one that knows Henry Welah believes the Btory to be true, for they know he is incapable of each an action. 108 «gfre §kjeexli>r atttl jlpnrismatt. Aug. 9 THE GUN. An Odd Experience- CHAPTER I. A little over a year ago, a partv of pleasant people gathered at a hospitable home in Bakersfield, with the intent of going on a con pie of week's picnic nnder ihe grand oaks and in the pleasant places of historic Fort Tejon, forty miles away. There was a complete assortment; husbands, wives, men, maidens, little children and a jewel of a cook. Fort Tejon was invested by gradual approaches in the nature of an even- ing drive to the James Ranch — 10 miles from town; then a rest of Deople and teams nntil early dawn; next a trip across the plains before yet the snn had time to cause discomfort; an early breakfast in the **Little canyon of the Grapes," beside a babbling mountain brook, and ere noon a safe arrival at the Fort— a place, in early days, resounding to the tramp of armed men, now a sylvan solitnde, beautifully shaded, delightfully watered, and abounding in vegetation and varied del'ghts for the lovers of nature. Before the start, a captain was appointed. Experienced pickoiekers alwayB recognize the" fact that there should be one reepoiitible head, aDd that his will must be law. Within the truwd was ooe admirably fitted for the position. The honor and responsibility was forced upon him, and in the course of events confirmed unto him forever and forever more. The site for this fort, commanding the only available approach, from the coast to the upper end of the San Joaquin Valley, was selected in 1852 by General (then Lieutenant) E. F. Beale. Uucle Sam laid out a magnificent parade ground, and surrounded it with massive buildings ample for the accommocalion of a regiment a thousand strong. Alack! it is a pity that from sheer thoughtlessness, closely akin to van- dalism, these magnificent cenotaphs of a former day and gen- eration should have been let decay, until now the place of safely and defence, erected with such care, skill and thor- oughness, is nothing but a mass of ruins. The buildings are roofless and untenanted; the parade ground, once so trim and neat, is unkempt and desolate; even the soldier dead He in their little acre unmarked and unknown. The one marble slab, having as inscription: IN MEMORY OF 1ST LIEUT. THOMAS F. CASTOR, COMPANY A. ISC REGT. U. S. DRAGOONS. DIED AT FORT TEJON, SEPT 8. 1855. AGED 35 YRS. is not only rent from its base, but is broken in twain, and, even where tie lay, in whose memory it was erected, cannot now be told. And yet, a martial senilis pervades the place. It even may be that at dead of night, the forgotten return again, and in rank and file with the light step of that which has no substance, to the music of long ago, deploy and man- oeuvre even as if of the living preseDt. Cartes, the place is haunted with martial memories, and the spirit of those who now are not, siiil lingers lovingly around the deserted rnins. In such an aroma, organization a la militaire became a necessity, and, after rule and pattern — in which orderly things human nature dees so truly delight — a compaLy was formed, christened TueFoxtail Rangers, with the foreordaiDed captain at the head, and other officersin ample supply, accord- ing to wonted needs in pipiog times of p--ace. That all were officers gees without saying, but that all alike were willing to obey and to help, bespoke a happy degree of comfort not always present in a picuic party, and so the happy days flew by, each vieing for entertainment of the others, and all enjoy- ing the delights of the land. One day there occurred a genuine sensation. Years before the recorded occupation of this country by white men, some- one who will be forever unknowo, had carefully chiseled in the bard wood of one of the giant oaks which here abound, the following inscription: I. H. S. t PETER LEBECK KILLED BY Ax BEAR OOT'R 17 1S37 In repairing ravages the tree had gradually put forth new growth, until Ibis inscription of 52 years ago was almost covered from sight. Disputing about a letter, part of whioh could be seen, one of the party cut into the new growth with an axe. It waB found that the old wood had rotted away from the embrace of the new, leaving quite a cavity. Into th'B hole, ODe of the ladies of the party put her hand and felt letters in relief. The result was. that the new growth, with bark and wool together nearly three inches thick, was cut away from the old escar and there in relief was Nature's stereotype of man's inscription to Peter Leb°ck. More re- markable still, the new bark on its face shows some of the letters of inscription in relief, while the obverse of the new growth has the reverse imprint or Pterotype. It is perhaps easy to understand how the new growth started gradually from the sides of the cut and in time tilled everv wound mad* upon the tree, its parent. It sought to rapair what it considered the ruthless damage of the past and with the tight embrace of youth filled every cavity; but how and why this new mantle Bhould bear upon its face in bold relief, the scar that for so many patient years it grew to conceal, is be- yond the ken of wistful man. The new growth inscription was carefully packed and safely taken to Bakersfield by the returning rangers. At the time of the great fire, it was one of the first things to be taken to a place of safety. Since then it has been carefully examined by many and numerous speculations as to its how and why have resulted. Photographs of it have been taken and for a long time itp permanent place seemed to vibrate between Gen. Beals Washington home and the Smithsonian Institute. The General finally Bensibly settled its status and it now lies safely in a bank vault at Bakersfield, subject to the control of the Captain of the Foxtail Rangera. chapter it. And bo the Rangers journeyed home again bearing happy memories and mementos of a pleasant trip. But there was also something to think about. The inscription to Peter Lebeck carved so deeply in the oak tree and so astonishingly reprodnoed by nature could not help bnt cause reflection and in due time there crystallized in the minds of all the Rangers this one thought: "What more can we learn and what else can we find about this man whose only memento is a care- fully carved inscription antedating all other known records of the advent of white men into this territory?" The desire to discover more became unanimous while what might be done came to be spoken of with bated breath. Such feeling in due time passes from speculation lo deed, and in the nat- ural oonrse of things it occurred that one evening each of the Rangers received the following: Bakersfield, July 12, 1890. General order No. 23, Series B, General Attention Com- pany! "The time for the annual sojourn of the rangers approach- eth. Hence therefore, you and all of you, collectively and severally, are ordered upon pain of expulsion to prepare yourselves and on Thursday, July 17, 1S90 at S o'clock p. m. fall into line at Encampment 11. ready for the yearly pil- grimage to the hills, the oaks and the pleiEant places of Fort Tajon. Per order, "Countersigned, Captain. -Post Chaplain/ Ready for mcch more than the order expresses, that is to say, with the wish dear to all explorers, to discover and to conquer, the little company of twenty two met promptly on time, and were soon on the road driving to the James Ranch, there to rest and afterward with early morning start to pleas- antly course over the valley and reach the mountains ere the heat of the day. S3 it was done and once again beside the babbling brook a hearty breakfast was enjoyed, and after a delightful drive through the mountain canon, winding with the brooks' devious ways and alwaye climbing up and up un- til Fort Tejon waB reached. A lovely resting place and in no wise unsubstantial, for had not the cook with his load of bedding, tents, delicacies and comestibles reached the place at early dawn and was there not a smoking meal ready for the hungry — when all were hungry? Aye! bo there was. It iB a place tit for the gods and closely accommodates itself to lesser wants. Some one getB ambitious for a deer. Make ready, climb the mountain sides, stalk a little after the man- ner of a careful hunter, and soon straight away into camp comes the victor with his vanquished. A bear is desired. It takes skill, endurance and acumen, but somehow, bear meat soon comes to be less than a camp luxury. The ladies with pea rifles, rarely venturing to the lawless extreme of a shot gun, are continually bringing into camp some little thing or other, sometimes welcome for a stew, again better fitted to adorn a hat or perhaps illumine Borne dream in calico. The little tots even venture out of their own accords and oome back laden with wild roses, clematis and tales of thrilling ad- ventures. On every side there awaits a new experience. And all were comfortable, lazily enjoying the delights of the land day by day and night afer night, yet each haunted with & put off and unspoken wish. The deed had to be done and so one pleasant morning the captain gave the order to "fall in by twos." Led by two tiny girls hand in hand, the Rangers marched from camp to the Peter Lebeck tree, where arriving, the little leaders divided, marching one upon the one Bide, one upon the other, the elders following, bo that upon the command "halt," the Rangers stood in horse-shoe form around a place which was supposed to be the grave of Peter Leb*ck. The captain then said: "Comrades; as we well know the at- tempt before us in one which has had serious consideration and is dear to our hearts. When Gen. Beale suggested that an effort Bhould be made to discover, if possible, any relics of the first recorded pioneer of Kern County, and promised in the event thereof to have a fac simile of the original in- scription done in marble and placed upon this tree at the head of Peter Lebeck's grave, he voiced the unanimous wish of us all. We are here to-day for that purpose, and not as vandals but with tender hearts, do we now intend to make an attempt to uncover the remains of Peter Lebeck. The adjutant will now read that extract from Gen. Beale's speech at the barquet tendered to him two years ago, which refers to Peter Lebeck." Thfi adjntant advanced and read as follows; "As the name implied, he must have been one of that re- markable class of men, once better known than now, the Canadian voyvgeurs.- That he was a great man among them is almost certain from the care with which the inscription had been made. The lettering was well executed and had been deeply cut. It was formed to remain while the tree lasted, but the incisions have long since closed, and now the inscription stands out in bold relief, as if Nature herself were inclined to aid in preserving the memory of our first pioneer. In connection with this simple record of death, a tale might be imagined more pathetic than Evangeline. Who knows by whom he may have been loved and mourned in the same Arcadia on the far shores of the Atlantic? Fancy the sentiment, the love, the hopes Bnd the holy ambitions that may have prompted an expedition, the toils, dangers and tediousnee's of which the young man of the present day cannot even imagine. From what direction he may have come there is no sign. He may have reached this coast through the wilds of Canada and Oregon and been this far, by way of the interior valleys of California, on his route to the hamlet of Los Angeles, of which he may have beard, intending to return by a route that would have taken him through Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and thence through the uninhabited Western wilderness to the St. Lawrence and to his home. But of his long wanderings, whether he was travelling Northward or Southward, we can only conjecture. This Bimple, pathetic record alone renains to tell that he was the first pioneer of Kern County, and as suoh he should be honored." Then at a sign from the Captain, the PoBt Chaplain took up the theme, saying: "Peter Lebeck! Peter Lebeck! Peter Lebeck! No answer? Is there no key which will uulock a door tightly closed and sealed for three and fifty years? Is there no way by which we can look through the mold and gloom of this grave, back to the time when he was sentient and a living man among his fellows? What manner cf man was he? Did he leave a home in some far off Arcadia with deliberate purpose and launch forth upon the stream of life, self centered, well equipped in mental powers, determined to conquer and in due time return to bis own and his dear ones with a golden argosy — yet, by unforeeen disastir lie stranded here? Or did be float out like a waif upon the ocean of life, drifted to and fro, buffeted hither and thither by ad- verse tides and detaining storms nntil at last, here lies of his life only its flotsam and jetsam? May there have been an Evangeline who patiently, hopefully, perpetually followed, always behind, ever apart, and who now lies in some far- away, never reuuited with her own? What may have been is only confectnre, but it is certain that by kindly baods he was tenderly laid to rest. And in what a place! Greater than mansoleum of king or potentate! Shaded from midday sun by these Riant oaks, amid whose Hhimmering leaves t'ie twittering birds sing daily requiem. By night, the twinkling Btars look down upou this quiet grave guarded by stately sentinels. In pleasant days here is a sylvan solitude, disturbed only by bird songs and the busy i hum of countless insects, which have nature's right to live. And in time of storm, when these mighty branches creak and writhe in the embrace of the tempest, the tender grasses over his head gently bow before the blast, when the storm is over to rise again. Arise again! The hope of im- mortality is the one and only alleviation of the bitterness of death. And, it is wide as all humanity. When, one by one each of this little party with unwilling feet stepB slowly down into the embrace of death, our friends and dear ones left behind, in full hope and faith will say of us: "Ye shall rise again, " We of another day and generation are here gathered around the grave of one who was not of our time, was of another nationality, speaking perhaps a different tongue, differing from ub in thought, habit and custom, and yet with one accord we hopefully and reverently say: 'Thou too shalt arise again Peter Lebeck.' " Then a hymn was sung. Chapter III, The preliminaries had been done, eaoh in its turn. The Rangers had become impressed and stood, little ones and all in theis proper order, serious and expectant. With a mingled sense of relief and gruesomeness the cap- tain's voice was heard, saying "to pick and shovel, each man working five minutes io bis turn " It is no slight affair to disentomb the dead. There is a graveyard creepinesfl about it and back of that, the instinctive sense of all human- ity, to "let the dead rest." Yet, the Rangers had visited that spot for a purpose and were determined, reverently, yet persistently to make a careful search for the remains of Kern's earliest known pioneer. A place upon the east side of the oak and inscription had been chosen, carefully laid out by compass, and here the work commenced. At nearly four feet from the surface human remains were encountered, and with intense interest and in almost deathly stillness the bones of Peter Lebeck after a burial of three years were ex- posed to the light of day. The body had been carefully laid in the tomb, due east and west by magnetic meridian. The left arm was folded upon a fleshless breast. The right forearm was missing, as also both feet and the left hand. Two ribs upon the leftside were broken. It was considered strange that .feet and left hand should all be |gone, apparently nnjointed, when that little bone the os hyoides was intact, unless upon the pre- sumption that the bear which killed him had gnawed the extremities. The skeleton was nearly six feet long and broad in proportion. The skull Jis noble, with lofty blow, wide between the eyes and jaws and deep But one tooth was missicg, a right lower molar. The bones were copper colored auo in a remarkable etate of obs- ervation. Upon finding the skeleton, shovels were discarded and with every possible attempt not to displace the remains from their bed of earth, the dirt surrounding was carefullv removed with case-knives and fingers until the frame work of the so long dead was exposed to the light of day, when Beveral photographs were taken. The surrounding earth was carefully worked over by hand, in the hope that something of metallic nature, even a button, could be found to be re- ligiously preserved as a relic of tbis almost prehistoric pio- neer. Nothing in the way of sign or symbol or message from a daylong Bince gone by could be discovered. The in- ference was that he was probably clad in buckskin, and npoD being lowered into the grave his remains were carefully laid out and then covered to await the coining of the resurrec- tion. The sealed past had been broken In upon. The quiet rest of over half a century had been invaded, and nothing re- mained but to re-cover the ancient tomb; and after a brief exposure to the sunlight of the present day, the historic re- mains of Peter Lebeck were again gently put from human sight. The re-made grave was carefufly mounded over, a temporary paling erected, around it, and the ladies covered the mound with flowers. Thus ends a Strang1, eventful history, but its recollections with patient tendrils will weave in and" around and forever remain in the hearts of the Foxtail Rangers. Attest, Bakersfield, Captain. — Post Chaplain. Cal., July 31, 1890. ♦ The Country Clab. Through the kindliness of President F. R. Webster, we are enabled to present the scores made by the Country Club at its first general tournament held at Monterey on July 26th, The club prefers that the scores of its ordinary monthly meetings should not be published, but departs from its rule in reBpect to an event of such importance as that now chronicled, in which all members participated. In sending the scores Mr. Webster adds: "Enclosed pleaBe find the scores of the Country Club shoot held at Monterey on July 26:h and 27th near the Hotel del Monte. The occasion was an outing and picnic of the club. The guests of the hotel, numbering about 400, iucludiog ladies and officers of the army stationed at Monterey, were present. The Presidio 4th Artillery Band discoursed music during the shoot. The birds were all good and Btrong, hav- ing been turned out for a week previous to the Bhoot, and the total percentage of the olub 72.63 is good, considering that two or three participants were novices at pigeon shoot- ing In the evening a ball was given at the hotel to the club.

The present writer, who was absent from that assemblage of local scientists, was by mutual con- sent delegated to review the article in justice to those men and women who have dedicated their lived to the study of natural history. The present aspect of the want seems rather for an appre- ciative public and a press which shall utilize popalar articles {which at the same time are accurate) in preference to sensa- tional natural history papers prepared by itinerant pseudo- naturalists or founded upon mariner's tales of living creatures whose biographies are well known to the technical scien- tists. The writer of the editorial under oriticism is plainly ignor- ant of the popular and semi-popular works concerning the natural history of this state when he says, "California's birds have been entirely ignored as a subject of popular study." That the road runner should resemble the cuckoo need ex- cite no astonishment when it is known that the road-runner is a true cuckoo with feet adapted to a terrestrial life. That the Californian woodpeckers hoard acorns for the kernel of the acorns which they eat, and not for a minute grub that may sometimes be found in it, is well known to ornitholo- gists, and has been amply proved by dissection. G. W. Dunn who informed the reporter "that he had dis- covered ten new species of birds" on Gnadaloupe Island, is known as a collecting naturalist. The facts pertaining to that discovery are these. In 1S85 he visited the island and secured some fine specimens (not species) which were not neff to Bcience. It was Dr. Edward Palmer who was the first naturalist to visit that "lone isle of the sea" in 1875, and he collected eight new species, and the writer in 1886 noted twenty-seven additional speciep,one of which was new. The ignorance of the public regarding the birds of this State is well Bhown by the bestowal of the name "California canary" upon nearly a dozen different species belonging to several different genera and families. The systematic work of specialists is necessary to disentanRle this confusion of names, and while each bird has a scientific appellation by which a scientist recognizas it, so too has each bird one, and usually more, vernacular names of which the people may take their choice, but they had far better learn to know a bird by the name in most common use than to call nearly all small yellowish birds "canaries" aod small obscurely marked oneB ''chippies" — names which cover a multitude of species. The majority of people know of two "lady bags," a rounded red one (family Coccinelidce) and a more elongated, green, black spotted kind (family Chrysomdidat)- both are found upon vegetation in gardens and impartially treated to sprays of tobacco jaioe, whale oil, lime water, etc. The for- mer is a true "lady bug" and feeds exclusively upon animal food, being thereby of decided benefit to horticulturalists, the latter is a vegetable feeder and does considerable {dam- age to roses and table vegetables. Bo called popular science is too of en welcomed because of its marvelous nature and accepted without question as to its authenticity. The very absurdity of some statements should be sufficient to stamp them as unreliable and having no place in popular or technical science. A few quotations from a work' used as a text book in schools will serve to illustrate, without comment, the quality of the popular li'erature which seemed to be wanting and may have cjlled^forth the editori- al in question. The voice of th* Bear Howler (Mycetes ursinus) is "louder than the roar of the lion, having been heard two miles off." "Since the lion's larynx is relatively larger than that of any other mammal, there may be no exaggeration in thi statement that its roar sometimes shakes the ground like an earthquake." "The pupil of his (the lion's) eye is round and his strength is such that he can carry off a cow with ease, even leaping broad dikes and keeping ahead of pursuing horsemen for miles without dropping it." "Its (the tiger's) strength enables it to oarry off a buffalo thrown over its shoulder." The jaguar is more powerful than the leopard being able to carry off a horse with ease." "The dog never perspires, even in the hottest weather." "The expression 'catch a weasel asleep' is based upon the ease wi'h which the animal may be caoght when sleeping, on account of the soundness of its slumber." When such decayed statements pass current for popular science and are taught to the youth aod "listened to with eagerness and remembered even longer than the smile on his first sweetheart's face," the systematic naturalist of best in- tentions, who would fain popularize his beloved ology be- takes himself in despair to his more enlightened fraternity, his specimens and his books. Walter E. Bryant, California Academy of Sciences. ('"Fourteen Weeks in Zosloay" by J. Djrman Steele, Ph D., F. G.S.) The Massena Quail. There is one species of qnail in the far Southwest that is a rarity to naturalists and moseums. Hunters and sportsmen scarcely ever encounter it, for this peculiar bird ranges high, from 4,000 to 9,000 feet, and nests in the most unfrequented rocky places. Its Latin name is 'Cyrtonyx Montezuma," so called from its partiality to the land of the Aztecs, where it is to be found at certain seasons of the year in consider- able numbers. Its common, every-day name is the "Massena partridge," or black quail, says an exchange. Just across the Rio Grande, in old Mexico, the land is mountainous, rocky and elevated. Here, as well as in Northwestern Texas and Southwestern New Mexico, is the true home of the Mas- sena quail. There are two other species of the family indig- enous to this latitude, the "Bob "White" and the blue top-knot qaail. At present this country for scores of miles in every direc- tion is one va^t nesting and breeding ground for quails. "Bob Whites" are very common. In the lowlands along the Rio Pecos, in the chaparral of the Nueces, San Antonio and Guadalonpe rivers, around Fort Clark and Del Kio, the number of "Bob Whites" to be seen is almost beyond belief Scarcely a hundred yards of soil can be passed over without encountering a pair that are nesting and busily attentive to domestic affairs. Although none but pot hunters would think of interfering with the birds at this season, neverthe- less thousands are trapped and snared by unscrupulous people, and in consequence innumerable motherless chicks are left to perish in the nests. During the open season a hunter witb a good dog can have all the sport he wants. The blue quail in this portion of the Lone Star State is found in great numbers. It frequents rocky places and snarls of chaparra', and to hunt it a dog is of very little service. As a sprinter he can outrun anything on two legs in this or any other country. The wild turkey gobbler, who is famed for bis Bpeed and endurance, is no match for the blue quail. Why he trusts to his legs instead of his pinions no one seems to know, but from study of his habitB and ex- amination of his anatomy it is the opinion that his plump weight and small wings have a great deal to do with the matter. The MaaseDa or black quail, whose habits and ways are so little known, is a totally different species from its cousin of the cerulean plumage. Instead of starting away at a 2:40 gait and endeavoring to outstrip his pursuer, the MaBaeoa lies Bnngly concealed, and will not move unless actually forced to do so. It makes tine hunting for dogs, but his range is so high and he nests in such unfrequented Bpots that no civilized dog would care to make the trip. Capt. Charles E. Bendire, of the National Museum at Washington, who is familiar with this bird and has spent a large rmrt of his life on the American frontier in search of ornithological knowledge, knows perhaps more about the Massena or black qaail than any other biped on the North American continent. "Their favorite resort, "he says, "is a rocky ravine that begins well up in the mountains, though th»y quickly fall in with changed conditions of life. In Mexico they are sometimes seen living contentedly in cages. Their nest is a hollow in the ground or against a satol plant. The note of the Massena is a low, marmuring whine, more like that of the rock squir- rel than a bird, and can be heard quite a distance. They are very fond of laurel-arbutus, cedar berries and tree berries, and go to water regularly every day. The country surrounding Fort Davis has an elevation of 5200 feet, more or less, and is one of the very best for Mas- sena quail. Mr. T. A, Merrill, a mountain ranchman, has met and snared these birds on many occasions, and he calls them "mountaiu guineas" or "rock qnail." He says they fly only twice, the laBt time only a short distance, and if pushed closely will seek escape by hiding. "A man on foot meeting a covey of the proper size can bag all he wants to, " says Mr. Merrill, "but to catch a blue quail get a good mus- tang who can dodge chaparral aod jump prairie dog holes. Once, while still hunting deer in the Diablo Mountains, I came near shooting myself through the mischievous actions of a lot of baby Masseoas. I saw a large black-tail deer auietly browsing in the timber, and with my rifle cocked I crept softly forward in order to get a clear shot. Suddenly from the tall and matted grass at my feet, as I placed my left foot carefully forward, there was a rush and a loud flut- ter, which so startled me that I sprang back in alarm, at the same time unconsciously pressing the trigger. There was a bang, a report, the deer bounded away like a shot, my nerves were unstrung, and I stood there shivering from head to foot. It was only a Massena nest, from which the parents and yoang at my intrusion had dashed bodily forth." Mr. Merrill lost bis quarry, and no doubt he thought it very hard to miss gettiDg a deer within such easy range, but what would a naturalist have given for this grand opportun- ity of securing the nest and young of the Massena partridge ? Even our National Museum at Washington, an institution possessing almost a complete collection of North American birds, is without a specimen or nest of this rare quail, and it seems a pity that such an opportunity as fell to the lot of Mr. Merrill should have been missed when it was so easy of accomplishment. Messrs. James Sanderson, W, C. Brown, Sanford Bennett and Mr. Reed hunted Mine Ridge on Tamalpais Mountain Saturday last and started two deer, but the fog was too dense to permit shooting. Messrs. Ed. Bosqni and W. S. Kittle killed two heavy bucks on the Howard Rancbo, Point Reyes, on August 3rd. Both were out of velvet and in condition. A new gun club with twenty charter members was formed at Lathrop on the 13th ultimo. The club held its first shoot on Sunday last, live pigeons being used. A large number of matches were shot and a large crowd was in attendance. Among the sports present irom Stockton were Charles Haas, J. W. Edwards (Secretary of the Gun Club), Charles Cass, George Ellis, F. Mersfelder, W. Burnett and Frank Bugbee. A party of three of our best hunters left Woodland this morning for a camping trip into Cache Creek moun- tains; says the Democrat. The party consisted of Jake Frie- berger, Henry Richter and John Zvirkovish. Their wagon was loaded with Winchesters, Express rifles, breech-loading shot guns, fishing tackle, and a supply of ammunition for a month at least. The provisions, both solid and liquid, were in large supply. At noon to-day the party reached the nearest point on Cache Creek, and war began. Rapid tiring in the front was heard, and the excitement at the Dam was intense. The inhabitants feared that the revolt at Salvador had beenrenewed in their viciuity. We expect to hear of big results from the campaign. The friends of the hunters are looking for large supplies of game. As the party have taken a good cook with them they will live high. THE KENNEL. Dog owners are requested to send for publication the earliest posel- ole notices of whelps, sales, names claimed.presentationsand deaths, In their kennelB, in all Instances writing plainly names of sire and dam and of grandparents, colors, dates and breed. Sound Doctrine. ^ Mr. C, M. Munhall, a prominent member of the Kennel Clab of Cleveland, Ohio, and generally known throughout America as a well posted and enthusiastic fancier of pointers and other good dogs has begun a war npon the kennel or- dinances of Cleveland and ultimately upon all similar local measures which cannot bat result in a advantage to dog owners everywhere. He addresses the city officers of his town in this vigorous fashion. The attempt of city officials to scare owner i of dogs into paying the new tax by threats of shooting all canines That do not wear the city tag, is not much to their credit. The State law may be legal, but it is questionable, and under the cily ordinance as passed by the Council, it would be d'fflcnlt to tell how the city would proceed against owners of dogs if they refused to pay. One thing is certain, dogs are property, and have been so recognized by the courts of the State, aDd the Council or police have no right to order that they be shot This oity collected some §30,000 the past five years illegally from owners of dogs, and would have continued it if the wriler had not gone into court and procured the injunction which was granted. They made the same threats then, and I solicited often to be arrested for not P'ying, but could not be accommodated, and had to go into court alone. It's not pro- tection to our citiz9ns that they cire about, it's the dollars that they are after. No one will question the right of the city to regulate the running at large of dogs, but I hardly think they can sell owners the right for $1 (o allow their dogs the privilege of doing ao. Does the city claim that it can arrest a man for debt? Upon failure to pay legal taxes, property can be seized and sold, but the owner cannot be arrested or fined I question the right of any policeman to come on my premises and demand the number of dogs that I own. Where does he get such "authority?" Certainly not from the State law, as that delegates that power to assessors only. No owner of a valu- able dog will object to paying taxes on the dogs that he may have, if the law is good and he receives protection, but they do object to being coerced into paying into the city money which it has no right to, and cannot collect through process of law. 1/et the owners of dogs pay their dollars into the treasury of the Cleveland Kennel Club, and the law will be tested in the courts without delay. The courts of Ohio have held, over and over, that dogs are property. Being property, they cannot be taken from their owners without due process of law. That means that the owner must have a suit brought against him in a proper court and have a chance to show whv his property should not be destroyed before it can lawfully be destroyed. The judges who have thus held knew what they were doing. They were familiar with the well-known fact that dogs do more to protect life and property from criminals, than paid police- men do. They also recognized the fact that a household pet may have a sentimental value to the people of that house, just as a picture, or other ornament, may have value to too same people or to any household. Dogs, being property. are subject to all laws that apply 1 1 other property. A soap factory is property; but when a s >«p factory becomes a nui- sance, it can be abated. In both ci-es there must bo "a day in court." To declare all dogs nuisances by ordinance and doom them to death unless they are licensed, it is absurd us it would be to attempt to destroy all soap factories in a whole- sale way. As dogs are property, they are subjects of taxation: just as soap factories are. II the owners do not pay the tax, they oan be distrained as in other oases. That is to say, the prop, erty itself, the dog, can be taken for the tax. If the dog will not sell for enough to pay hi* tax, it is probable the city conld sell him to the glue factory. In no case has the city a right to Bend around a policeman to shoot the doa on the owner's premises, or anywhere else. Threats of killing tbe people's dogs it they did not do this or that have heretofore frightened many dollars into the public treasury; but that does not make new threats of a like rort any more reason- able or lawfnl. There is a dog ordinance in process of being enforced. If it is like those whiob have been enacted in former years, it is worthless. If it is a Bound ordinance, there will be no wholesale bntchery of doss as intimate i by the city clerk, unless the officers who assume to enforce it transcend their authority. There are bad do^s in every city. If the ratio of them to the total equaled that uf bad men to good ones, it is not certain that the courls would hold dogs to have value. Bad dog-i, like bad n.eu, shonld 1. with. How? Why, just as bad men nre, on complaint i.f those who are aggrieved.

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 District Track, the second heat of which was made in 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 his fore fet- lock, there is little question that he would have shown in public very close to tue 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 four-year-oid Memo only s'arted once-at Sacramento -when, although out of condition, lie showed great speed, and improving as he went on, greit hopes were entertained of his going well duwn in the 'teens at the P. C. T. H. B. A. meeting, but after snowing several very faBt nmes his leg filled and he was laid up for the season. He is sixteen bands high, and of powerful build throughout. His color is a glossy black, with both fore-feet white. His disposition in all that coulu be desired, aud his action superb. He is a sure foal getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last Beason. TERMS, $iro, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th, when he will be prepared for track purposes, lasturage 85 per month. Wave leased the cricket ground adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is fiue feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. Best of care taken of mares in any manner owners may desire, but positively no responsioility assumed for acci- leutB or escapes.

The attendance at tbe track on the second day of ths Los Angeles races was hardly as large aa tbe day before, yet still I tbe Directors of the Association are very well satisfied and assured yonr correspondent this evening that the numbers I that passed the tnrnstile are larger than any second day of k any previous meeting. There can be no question bnt what the indefatigable efforts put forward by the officers of this I society are appreciated by the race-loving public of theAn- \ gel city, and it is now an assured fact that a second meeting I will be given later on in tbe season, at which fully as nincb ■ money will be offered in parses a3 has been advertised for the present one. The first race of the day was for the two-year-old-bang- i tail division. The distance being a half mile, with the con- | ditiun introduced that only horses owned in the southern I counties were eligible; nothwithstanding this restriction, I five first class young thoroughbreds faced ihe Btarter, they ■ consisting of Midnight, Lone Star, San Rafael, Peri and I Mero. The weights allotted to them were 110 lbs. for the ( colts while 3 lbs. allowauce was made for the lillies. Mero I was the first who could be distinguished when the flag fell. I although the entire lot were closely bunched, with hardly I- any difference perceptible between them. On the upper j tarn the black colt Midnight, owned by Mr. Sberman made I a decided spurt for the leadership and as they entered tbe 1 stretch, two open lengths of daylight were visible between I him and tbe ruck, Morton, the jockey, who formerly rode I for Palo Alto, seeing that there was danger in the air, set 1 down to ride Pen in earnest and when at the distant post, I caught up to and passed the leader, Midnight being unable I to finish with Peri; Mero was fully .five lengths behind tbe • winner. Time 49$ seconds. The winner is a very likely 1 black filly by Flood, dam Trophy and is one of the late pur- ■ eha«es of Mr. Eo3e from Palo Alto; however, in the trials against the watch which were given Peri in the early por- I tioD of the year, Mr. Eo3e did not consider the filly good I enough to take back East with him, and left him at the ranch. The next event on the programme was the Nadeau Handi- cap, an all aged event; distance one ntile and a quarter, in II which eight well known horses came to the post. Tbe ■ {weights allotted to eacn were as follows: Odette 111 lbs., I Gladiator 104 lbs., Daisy D. 119 lbs., Abi 117 lbs., Marigold i 107 lbs., Naicho B. 110 lb&., Four Aces 112 lbs., and Moses ■ B, 116. I am sorry to have to chronicle to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman a rather serious accident which happened in this race. Owing to a large field some little delay was occasioned before the starter managed to get them all in line but at last the fiag fell, jast at an instant when Moses B. let fly his heels at Abi bnt instead of hitting the i) mare, he struck Casey, the j >ckey on Abi, in the leg. The balance of the borsea were well off and fully ten or fif'een 1 yards in the lead before the boy understood that the flag had fallen. However, knowiog that a great deal of money had been bet on his mount, the fearless little fellow with only one leg to use, Bet sail after his hell, the other leg hanging - listlessly by the side of Abi, yet notwithstanding his most * strenuous efforts he could only make fourth place. When the I race was over a collection was taken up for the gallant little jockey and over 5100 were contributed for him. Here I had better tell yon how the race was run and won. Gladiator jumped away in the lead and was a length in front and under a pull when the horses passed the judges' stand, Four Aces being second while Daisy D. was third. Around the turn Marigold and Odette commenced their running and were soon nose and nose for the second place, Gladiator still retaining tbe leadership. These positions remained unchanged until the horses rounded into the homestretch when all hands be- gan plying the whip-and sp»r. When within a distance, from home Odette managed to get her nose in front of Gladia- tor and beat him under the wire by half a length, he being second and Daisy D. well up for third place. Time 2:10. The third race of the day was for the trotting brigade of two-year-olds, the Bob Mason filly wioning handily in two straight heats. Time, 2:41A and 2:3S, EJenia being seoond in each. The fourth and last race of the day was for the 2:30 class district pacing purse, in which there were three starters, the winner of the race, Kory O'More, was so much superior in speed to his two contestants that there was no interest mani. fested in the race after the first heat. The following is the SOMMABY. Rory O'XIore l i ] Genrge B 2 if 3 T.li 3 3 a Time. 2:3H}, 2:37*. 2:"J5. Third Day. A very fair attendance was present at the race track to-day notwithstanding the card was not of the best; indeed, after looking over the programmes for the succeeding days, it can jrnthfnlly be said that Wednesday's programme was the poorest of the eniire week. The initial event of the day was a seven-eighths of a mile dash, in which there were thre9 starters, Ida Glen 105 lbs , Applause 10G lbs., and Jackson 109 lbs. After the good showing made by Applause last spriDg, it is only natu- ral to assume that he was a very strong favorite, sell- ing for more than the other two put together. When the flag fell Jackson began a hard driving race and led all down lhe batkstretch; it was only a moment or two until Jackson quit, the pace being too hot for him; Ida Glenn showed her ncse in front, but only momentarily, for when Applause was given his head he won a3 he pleased in the fairly good time of 1:28|. A special race of a mile and a sixteenth was the second event on the programme, the entries being Larghetta 107 lbs., Naicho B 115 lbs., and Moses B 115 lbs. Moses B. was con- sidered a sure winn9r, aud the talent backed him heavily, but "Oh! what a fall was there, my countrymen!" When the fiag fell the favorite took a commanding position, and to the first turn was in front of Larghetta, Naicho B being a length behind the second horse. On tbe backstretch Naicho B improved his position, moving up to the leader, with Lar- ghetta lapping on them. These relative positions were main- tained antil tbe homestretch was reached, where Cock, the jockey on Larghetta, moved him np, and the three ran nose and nose together down the stretch. At the drawgate Cook applied the bat and shot his nose out in front, coming under the wire the winner by a neck from Moses B in 1:51. Mr. Storn, the owner of the winner, can truly be sympathized with, for I understand that feeling that his horse had no show; he backed Moses B quite heavily, and as a conse- quence lost considerable on the race. The third race of the day was for the district trotting stakes for three-year-olds, there being only two Btarters, Mc- Kenny and Alco. This was another of the uninteresting contests, for McKenny wab so much fasler than his compet- itor that the race was Tobbed of all its interest. McKenuy won easily in thrfe straight heats. Time, 2:37^, 2:44$ and 2:40T. The 2:25 class for (rollers brought oat Leonore, Shamrock. Geronimo, Lucy R and Duchess. The last two mentioned were distanced in the first heat, Lenore winning three straight beats and the race in 2:2G, 2:25 and 2:29, Shamrock being second in each heat. FOURTH DAY. Tbe exceedingly good card issued by the Association (or the fourth day's racing was enough to draw the largest crowd of the week out. The Southern California Handicap was the priccipal event, and had been extensively advertised as a sort of Toboggan Slide Handicap, in imitation of the great event instituted by tbe New York Jockey Club. The first race of the day was a dash of live-eighths of a mile in which the starters were Peri 107 lbs.. Santa Ana 107» Midnight 102, Bessie Barnes 107, Mystery 107 and Mero 105. When the flag fell Midnight went immediately to the front with Mero a good second and the balance of the field bunched behind them. When the home stretch was reached the posi- tions were about the same, Midnight being first Bnd Mero second, but the ruck were strung out more in the form of a procession. At the draw-gate Peri was given her bead and won easily by half a length, Midnight being second, while Santa Ana just beat Mero for third place by a head. Time, l:03i. There were six starters who had accepted the weights laid down by the handicapper for the entries in the Southern California Handicap— Gladiator 102 lbs., Dan Mnrpby 105, Carmen 112, Kildare 111, Daisy D. 121 and Comet 107. The pool selling was very brisk on this eveut, Carmen being considered an almost sure winner, she selling at §25, while the old time favorite Daisy D. had quite a number of sup porters at §514, the field bringing $20. They received a splendid send off, Dan Murphy showing first in front, he leadiDg by an open length at tbe quarter, followed by Car. men, the other four being close behind. On rounding into the turnCarni9n movjd np a little almost lapping Dan Mur- phy, and as they movad into the stretch they were head and head; coming down the straight Kildare joined the two lead- ers, the three making a very pretty racs. At the draw-gate Dan Murphy had a slight advantage, bat Carmen aided and urged by the whip managed to come under the wire winner by half a length, Dau Mnrpby being second with Kildare a good third. Time 1:141. The trotting event of the day was for the 2:27 class, the purse being $1,000, the entries being Glendiue, Bob Mason, Jim Leach, Danger and Bslle B. Glendine was the strong favorite in the pools and justified the support of his backers by winning the first, seconl and fourth heats in 2:25r, 2;26} and 2:27.4, the third heat going to Bob Mason in 2:27] . FIFTH DAY. An enthusiastic and appreciative audience was present on this fifth day of the meeting. There were three events on the programme, all of which were interesting and exciting. The first race on the programme was the Sierra Madre for all ages, half mile heats, the Btarters being Comet 113 lbs., Jackson 103 lbs., Gambo 103 lbs., Ida Glenn 10S lbs., Lady G. 10S lbs., Seattle 116 lbs. and Serpolette 10G lbs. The first class ability of Ida Glenn which she has displayed fre- quently in short dashes and short repeat races immediately stamped her in the minds of the talent as a Bare winner, and jn the pool selling f»»r this race she sold at $20 while the field brought $12. However, dead thioga sometimes crawl, and so it was in this case for the winner tarned Tip in Comet, a horse bred and owned by J. B. Arauelles, of Santa Bar- bara, who succeeded in winning in straight heats in the surprisingly good time of 43A and 48$. The favorite made no showing to speak of and was easily beaten off. The second event on the card was the Santa < ' itilina Cnp for all ages, one mile and one-eighth, the entries to which were Carmen 125 lbs., Marigold 112 lbs., Captain Al 112 lbs. and Naicho B. 120 lb1?. When tbe flag fell Marigold cut out tbe pace at once and was soon in tbe lead, Carmen being a fairly good second while the others brought up tbe rear. These relative positions were maintained nntil the upper turn was readied when Carmen was allowed to move np on even terms with Marigold. Tbe two ran head and head together until the distance pole was reached, at which point Carmen came away and won easily by a neck. Time, 1 -" ' The trotting division had for their amuserrent fiveentrii for tbe 2:50 class. Dacln ss winning the first heat seemingly in a jig. For the three successive heats McKinney ,v 118 ^Ixe fSrxete ~m& S&psKtsmmx. Aug. 16 never headed, he making still another to enter the 2:30 list. The following is the SUMMARY.

The Directors of the Sixth Agricultural District Association are more than pleased witb the snccess of their annual meet- ing, as the attendance has been large and the sport spirited, and everyone seemed satisfied. The weather toward the lat- ter end of the week has been rather warm, bat not uncom- fortably so, and not sufficient to deter those who delight in the pastime of racing, from attending the track. One splendid feature of the week's sport is the fact that not a rumor haB been started, nor even a shadow given for one, in reference to crooked racing. From the first to the last, all the horses have been out for the money, and the contests have been of the very be it. To bring the successful meeting to a close, four events were announced on the programme for to-day; two being for the runners, one for the trotters, and one for the pacing division. The first event was a mile and a sixteenth, for three-year-oldB; the entries being Raindrop, 114 lbs., Marigold, 113 lbs., and Captain Al., 110 lbs. In the pools Raindrop sold for $20, Marigold for $11, while Captain Al went almost begging at $3. The start could not have been better, and there was no time for seven-eighths of a mile but what the proverbial blanket could have touched all three of the contestants. When well into the homestretch, Eaindrop drew away and won, hands down, by two lengths, Marigold second. Captain Al third. Time, 1:50$. The Junior Handicap, for two-year-olds, brought out Peri, 116 lbs., Santa Anna, 109 lbs, Mero, 103 lbs., Lathrop Belle, 97 lbs., Wild Rose, 110 lbs., Bessie Barnes, 97 lbs., and Mys- tery, 97 lbs. In the pools, owing to her previous victories! Peri sold as favorite for $25, Wild Rose for S 10, and the field for $13. The starting in this race was not as good as it might have been, the favorite and Santa Anna receiving much the best of the Btart. The two leaders ran a rattling good race, Peri passing Santa Anna at the head of the stretch, from whence out she was never headed, winning by half a length, Santa Anna second and Mero third. Time, 1:15, The 2:35 trotting nace brought out five starters, but Leo- nore was too fast for the balance of the field, winning in three straight heats, the following being the SUMMARY. Third race— Trotting; 2:35 class; purse 8800. Leonora 1 ] 1 Diet Richmond 2 2 3 Larco 3 3 4 Jim ...4 4 5 PendenniB 5 5 3 Time, 2:283, 2:24, 2:25£. The pacing race for the 2:25 class was a foregone conclu- sion, as Silkwood was known to be much faster than either of the other two. The following is the SUMMARY. Fourth race— Pacing; 2:25 class; purse S600. Hilkwood - 1 1 1 Rory O'More 2 2 2 Acrobat die Time, 2:213, 2:20,2:202. GLORY FORNUTWOOD. One of His Colts Breaks the World's Record at Independence. Four Enter tlie *;30 Class. At a matinee held August 7lh, at C. "W. Williams' driving park at Independence, the two-year-old Nutwood colt, Mana- ger, broke the world's two-year-old pacing record and four of Nutwood's get, all three-year-olds or under, entered the 2:30 class, Bajs the Dubuque Timec. It 1b an unheard of thing in the annals of turf history for four colts by one sire to enter the 2:30 class in one after- noon What makes it the more remarkable is that Nutwood, the sire, and the dams of the four colls are all owned at Highland stock farm in this city. FIRST RACE. ■ The first race was a special pace for a purse of $300. The entries were Manager, a two-year-old dark gray colt, standing 15 hands, 21 inches by Nutwood, dam Carrie by George Wilkes and Acmon by Nutwood, dam Iona, 2:17 J. C. A. Thompson was in Manager's sulky and the renowned C. W. Williams held the ribbons over Acmon. Acmon won the first heat handily in 2:2(H. He was thus the first of the Nutwood colts to enter the 2:30 class during the afternoon. It was in the second heat that Manager broke the world's two-year-old pacing record heretofore held by Ed Rosewater, 2:20 J. Manager got off to a poor start. He paced to the quarter in 37 A seconds, passed the half in 1:11, sbot-by the three-quarter pole in 1:44$. and came under the wire, thefastesttwoyear-old pacer in the world, in 2:19}, Manager won the third heat in 2:24. Maoager is entered in the three-year old or under pacing and trotting race at the meeting of the Northwestern Breed- ers Association in Chicago, August 18th. SFCONIt RACE. Id the Becond race, a 2:30 pace for a purse of $300, Knox, a Nutwood till v. got a good ways under the 2:30 mark. Knox is a bay three-year-old filly, standing 16j| hands. She is by Nutwood, dam Four Times by Blackwood 74. In the second heat, driven by C. A. Thompson, she won in the great time of 2:2">i. Knox has a two-year-old record of2:41. THIRD RACE. The third race was a three-year-old trot for a purse of $300. It was won by Aegon, a gray three-year-old colt, owned by Judge N. M. Hubbard, of Cedar KapidB, Aegon is by Nntwood, dam Alpha. 2:23*, and Btands 10 hands. He was never started in a race before. He won the 11 rat heat in 2:2S and the third in 2:2GA. Anaconda Races. EIRST DAY. After the heat of the past few days cool weather brought comfort and consolation to the race-goers who witnessed the splendid day's sport at the Driving park, and it was observed by all the racing men that the track was in excellent condit- ion. There was a larger crowd than has ever been present at any previous first meeting. The first race was the six hundred yard running race, purse S200. The starters were Cyclone, A. D. Hitchcock; Bay Tom, Brown & BlevinB; Bob Wade, A. H. Sutton. Bay Tom had a bad start and was out of the race before the 200 yard post was reached. Bob Wade took first placa at the start and kept it to the finish, winning by a leDgth in 32£. The second race was a ranoingrace, seven-eighths of a mile, purse $300. The starters were; Dainty, Kennedy pm*lsmau. Aug. 16 TURF AND TRACK Henry Chaplin paid £1,000 for Hermit as a yearling. Trance & S^ns have decided to charge $1,000 service fee for Red Wilkes next season. Erect, the $5,000 2-yes.r-old brother to Direct won the IaBt race at Anaconda meeting in August 5th. B. C. Holly has several entries, including St. Patrick, at the Nevada State Fair, which ia held in Reno. Henry Walsh "will be on the scenes at Oakland and Sacra- nipnto with a string of Palo Alto thoroughbreds. Yolo Maid, Favonia, Gertie Arnold and Brown Silk are turned out in paddocks on Marcus Daly's Bitter Root Ranch. Prof. Shepard has had Racine under his care for a couple of weeks, and hopes to turn him out in good shape in a few days. So eminent an authority as John Turner has publicly de- clared ihat pacers are about the most uncertain things in the world. Vincent Cromwell purchased Nancy Hanks after she won her stake race at HarrodBburg last week. The reported price is $10,000. The only Splan made a great killing in the 2:25 paee at Pittsburg with Forest WilkeB. He beat a field of twelve, all against him. At Anaconda on August 1st the Banker Stake, $50 each with $400 added, for 2-year olds, was won by Gy Mulkey's Sinfax (Wildidle— Fortress) in 1:04. Manning, late {Col. Bradshaw) won the 2:20 trot at Ana- conda on the 2nd of August in 2:22}. 2:29$ and 2:22i, Conde getting second money and Homestake third. The Indians in Kittitas Valley, Washington, have an an- nual spring horse race meeting. The oldest Indians say these meetings have been regularly held ever since they can recollect. On August 2nd in the mile dash at Anaconda, Cy Mulkey's Tom Daly was made a hot favorite, selling at S50 to §20 for ihe field; Lew Carlisle, however, carrying 1071b beat Tom Daly 1201b by half a length. Kanavah Bros., Gonzales, are training Kitty C and Pirate for the fall running races at Salinas and San Luis Obispo; the horses have been at the Salinas race track a couple of weeks, and are showing up well. The Antar mare Jane Carlisle promises to become a very prominent broodmare. Last year her son D. C, by Dictator, notted to a record of 2.29J, and Diligent. 2:29£, and Wick O.. 2:29}, two more of her sons, made their records over the Philadelphia tracks this year. At the Deaver meeting of the Colorado Association of Trot" ting Horse Breeders, July 26 the following officers were eleo- ted: Major J. J. B Du Bois, president; R. G. Webster, vice-president; F. C. Graves, second vice-preBident; O. W. Marshall, treasurer; S. B. Rohrer, secretary, Jim Goater, the veteran English jickey, completed his 52nd birthday last June. Thirty-eight years ago he won the Chester Cup on Joe Miller, riding at 4st 101b. (661bs) in a field of 43, the largest on record. Two of Goater's daughters are married touted Barrett and James Woodburo, the jockeys. There are 200 borses in training at Fleetwood, and anoth- er trial is to be given the dash system at that track early in September. Saddle races will also be a feature, and one of the new departures from the old time three in five trotting contests. S>me interest is excited by the proposed change. "Rattler" hears that ''flying the pigeon" was practised in more than one race at the recent Queensland meeting. The dodge is simply this; "After weighing out, one jockey takes from another part of hie weight, both back the short-weight horse, and the weight is restored while pulling up on the far Bide of the course. Qiite an advance In price has taken place in the mare Lady Byron, dam of the famous Susie S , 2:15*. Ladv By- ron was first sold for $00. then exchanged for a blind horse and $30, then sold for $150. Since that time Susie S. has been develoDed, taking a very low record, and recently Lady Byron was sold for $2,025. W.C.Daly has purchased from the Belmont Stable St. Charles by S\ Blaise, out of Carita, and St. Otner by St. Blaise, out of Olitipa. These two-year-olds should have been secured by the Lloyd Stable who own nearly all the Saints, but now that Daly has a pair of saints among his lot, he may have better luck in the future. Flambeau is being worked at Palu Alto, and despite all the rubbish about his not being iojared, etc , he Btill has an unmistakable leg, the tendon being much enlarged, but it is hoped he will stand up long enough to win a few of the val uable alakes he is entered in, and which are really a gift even if he has to go on three legs. During the racing season of 1889 90, the Auckland Racing Club held nine days racing at Ellerslie at which $272,970 were passed through the totalisator which is an increase of $57.0U0 over last year's record. A portion of the increase is becounted for by the extra day at the jubilee meeting which accounts for over half of the increase. Duncan Robertson, a once famous Australian "Juggins, ' who, with his brother, owned Coronet Lodge, and whilst the money lasted was a racehorse owner in Victoria, was recent- ly fined £4 at the Melbourne Police Court for travelling with- out a ticket, being iutoxieated, and using insultiDg language to a railway official. He was unable to pay and was Bent to jail. George Middleton, owner of the trotting gelding Jack is said to have expressed a willingness alter the race with Palo Alto on Saturday, to back his horse against any trotter in the world for any amount of money. The Sporting World says: Another go with Palo Alto might dampen his exuberance a tiifle, as the latter has undoubtedly the more speed of the two. Mr. McDermott, the owner of Elphin, offers to match him against any steeplechaser in the country for from $250 to $500 a corner— Elphin to carry 170 Iob,, the other 150. In case of two horses in different interests competing the Brighton Beach Association will add $750. Labouchere says: The audacity with which eertrin large defaulters flaunted about Tattersalls enclosure and the sad- dling paddock at the late Newmarket meeting created a good deal of scandal. Evidently the English bookmakers are like the Jews, a lung suffering, patientrace — when there is money in it. Referring to the bill which will, it is said, be shortly brought before the Victorian Assembly to legalize the totalis ator in Victoria, that brilliant antipodean writer "Augur" hopes that provision will be made for a certain percentage of the money to be devoted to oharities, should it become law. He Bays £40,000 was paid in one year to charitable in- stitutions in France. France & Son of the Highland Farm, Lexington Ky., have sold for $5,000 to Christ Schaute, Dnsseldorf, Germany, a full sister to Prince Wilkes, (2:14J) called Highland Princess. She is a yearling by Red Wilkes, dam Rose Chief, by Brown Chief. The same firm has sold for a private price to Willett & Sjn of Roslyn Ky., the two year old brown colt by Red Wilkes, dam by Mambrino Patch. Lightsome by imp. Glencoe from Levity by imp. Trustee from Vandal's dam by imp. Tranby, etc, This is one of the most celebrated American families. Among many other good brood mare3, Lightsome was the dam of Salina (dam of Salvator), Nevada (dam of Luke Blackbnrn), both by Lex- ington and Fadette (dam of Favonia 2;15 and Glenview 1170 sire of Euclid 2:2S) by Abdallah 15. Emperor William's riding horse is shod with a new and singularly constructed shoe. It is in two parts, and has on its lower surface a rubber-like composition, the object of which is to prevent the horse from slipping, thereby preserv- ing the animal. The Kaiser, on being shown the new invention, at once ordered his favorite horse and sixteen others of Liis stud to be shod with it. Colonel North (says an Eoglish sporting paper) promises to become a most remunerative customer to the bookmakers, and it is really amusing to watch the small fry in their eager attempt to snap him out of the jaws of the big fry. Where ever Colonel North goes raciug, half a score of silver ring men weigh out the Tattersall's tariff, on the off chance of getting a bit out of "the Nitrate King." J. T. Caldwell, the veteran starter, is officiating at the Guttenberg track of the Hudson County Jockey Club, and will continue to act on all regular racing days at that track. Judge J. J. Burke, who has been presiding judge at the race tracks at Kansas City, at Washington Park, Chicago, and the Twin City Club of St! Paul, has returned, and occupies his usual pohition in the stand at Guttenberg. It is proposed to tax French bookmakers by imposing a tax of £400 a year on the pencillers who carry on their call- ing within the reserved enclosure at Longchampa, Auteuil and Vincennes, leased by the city of Paris to the different race societies; £160 on those working in the side stands and outside on the course, and £80 on those who depend solely on the small fish who pay a franc to go on the course. In the fore part of this season, nothing but Burlington could be heard of in the three-year-old galloping races. Now we scarcely hear of him and it begins to look bb if the Om- nibus Stakes would either fall to Tournament or Sir John, If such a thing should come to pass, it would place Sir Mod- red very near the top of the winning Bires of the year. How- ever, the thing will not be known till after the Futurity is over. Geoffrey, the four-year-old brother to Gnenn, has been turned out of training at Palo Alto. His racing career is prob ably over. As a three-year-old he won three races in fairly good company, and should make a good stallion, as he is by Flood, from Glendew by imp. Glengarry, from Glpnrose by Lexington, out of Sallie Lewis by imp. Glencoe; 4th dam Motto by imp. Barefoot; 5th dam Lady Thompkins by Amer- ican Eclipse, eto. The Viotorian turfite, Mr. A. F. Bradshaw, who is himself an old pressman, baB taken a rather novel line in naming the various events to be run at the Richfield meeting after Aus- tralian sporting writers, paFt and present, as follows: The Levy Stakes, The Symonds StakeB, The Yuille Stakes, The Bond Handicap, The Chapman Handicap, The Hammersley Handicap, The Pickering Handicap, The Wilkinson Handi- cap, The McCulloch Handicap, The Hedley Handicap, The Hyndmau Handicap, and the Mostyn Handicap. Now then, by way of demonstrating which has the super- ior Ihoronghbred— England, America, or Australia, what club or association will get up a race of two miles with weight for age, $5000 subscription, $1000 forfeit, and $20,000 added? The race not to be regarded as filled except there be at least one Eoglish and one Australian entry. As it would require at least three months to acclimatize the English and Aus- tralian entries, there should be at least three months between the opening and closing of the articles of the race. For many years the good old Duchess of Montrose had al- most a monopoly of the situation as a female owner of race horses, Misb Isabella Yardley Graham being the only other of the sex running contemporary with the late Mr. Craw- ford's reliot. "Mr. Manton" having become Mrs. Milner, there is one lady owner the less on the turf, but plenty of successors are cropping up. In addition to Miss I. Graham, we now have Mrs. Chaloner, Mrs. Ayre and Mrs. Hall, while a Miss Temple recently ran a horse named Henry Benedict at Wolverhampton. Frederick Collier, at one time a prosperous livery stable- keeper in this city, died at the hospital IbbI Sunday, of gen- eral debility. Mr. Collier was a capital starter of racehorses till about five years ago, when he received a severe shock at Stockton by being knocked down by a horse called Elwood. Since then he has never been the same man. Mr. Collier was born in Ohio and came to California with his father, Hon. John A. Collier, then collector of the port of San Francisco. Up to 1875 he was quite well off bat Ihe great bonaoza crash swept away his fortune. He was 69 years old at the time of his death. The Saratoga Racing Association held its annual meeting on Monday last and elected as directors for the ensuing year James M. Marvin, Albert Spencer, William Lester, Eugene D. Wood and Charles Wheatley. Of the 500 shares of stock 470 were represented. After the meeting adjourned the Board of Directors met and organized and Mr. Marvin was re-elected President, Mr. Spencer. Treasurer, and Mr. Wheatley, Secretary. The Board appointed as Executive Committee Messrs. Marvin, Spencer and Lester. The State Fair Directors have decided to permit the Fair grounds to be used for camping purposes by visitors from a distance. This, says the Nevada Journal will prove a great accomodation to people from the country and also these from distant towns who desire to visit the Fair but who object to the expense, inconvenience and discomfort of crowded hotels and lodging houses. They oan bring tents and oampiug out- fits with them and live as cheaply and comforUbly as though they were taking an outing in the mountains. Goodwin's Official Guide, which arrived this week, con- tains the results of all races run up 10 Saturday, the 2nd. Bergen still leads the list of winning jockeys with 135 wins out of 533 mounts during the year to his crrdit. Hamilton follows with 90 wins out of 265 mounts. The other principal winners are Taylor. Go; Barnes, ,56; Lamley, 49; Littlefield,, 35; Garrison, 34; Tarral. 27; and George Covington, 19. The Guide, which is invaluable to all racing men, contains a va- riety of valuable statistics as well as the UBual information. The series of dash trotting races that Gabe Case is to have at Fleetwood Park will begin one week earlier than was at. first announced. The first and second afternoons will be those of Wednesday and Friday, Aug. 27th and 29th instead of Sept. 3rd and 5th. It was not supposed last week that, the changes in the third and last quarters of the track could be finished before September, but the work has been pushed' so steadily since then that the track will be in perfect shape- by the middle of this month. A change has also been made in the two opening programmes by which a half-mile dash. to harness, free for all, will be trotted each afternoon. The American Horseman says that a shrewd horseman- who had handled more stars than one said Satnrday: "Mar- vin made the biggest mistake of his life Saturday in not trot- ting Sunol the full mile at Detroit. The big filly is cranky- and goes fast when it suits her and won't go at all when she is in that mood. She had all her speed when at Detroit,, liked the track and could have trotted a mile in 2-.0S. Mar-. vin after that could have gotten anything he liked for exhi- bition purposes After her exhibition at Cleveland she wont: be worth much for that purpose. He made another big mis- take here in allowing her to go the mile after seeing the way she was acting." A large and fashionable gatheringwereioterested spectator* at the Oakland Driving Park last Saturday. Owing to seT- eral of the horses entered not being in a condition to race the programmes dwindled down to a very slim affair but great interest was taken in the proceedings particularly by the fair sex who turn out in large numbers every Siturday. The 2:30 pacing race had onlv two starters, Dr. C. H. Walk- ers' Washington and W. R. Birminghams' Oregon Boy. Or* egon Boy showed most speed but left his feet Beverai times and was beaten by his more reliable opponent, admirably handled by Dr. Walker, in straight heats, time 2:42, 2:37, 2:36. The trotting race for 2.50 horses had two eutries. W, W. White's Beauty and C. Iverson's Leandro Girl. Beauty won cleverly in straight heats time 2:53 2:57. ': Whoever is responsible," savs the turf writer of a great daily,1, for the introduction of Narvice into this section of the country owes it to the public to carefully chloroform him and carry him baok to Mexico, where he is said to belong. He is worse than Anderson at his sleepiest and McCarthy at his stupidest. Litilefield is an Archer beside him. He lacks everything — judgment, nerve, dash, energy, skill. He threw away Tipstaff's chances and rode Fairy like a plongh-boy. He is said to te thoroughly honest and reliable, and this given bb the reason for his getting so many good mounts." Gracious! How Littlefield, Anderson and McCarthy mnBt have enthused over the fnregoing beautiful tribute to them- selves! But the item is shameful in effect. The boy Nar- vice is a thoroughly good jockey, but he cannot win every time with a mount just a trifle "too slow. — New York Sports- man. In his excellent work: De Yerborum Significat'tone, which bat little is unfortunately known in its original fori Ferrerins Flaccus, who died in the year 14 A. D., embrai under the common deuomination of Brslia Vrtcrinu all a' mals that work under the yoke, and makes this work a rivative of veho (I pull). According to this, the vetertnan was the man who attended to animals of dranght of all kinda. Caton is of the same opinion. Opilius thinks that the word comes from the fact that the animal designated by retTtM animalis carries its head secured to the belly (or/ vt.ntrem anw religatum) and that it ought to be called reritsritta and not veterina. Varron (116 A. D.) is ol the same opinion, inclnd- ing with cetearo veterinn?r all other animals of burden. The opinion of Columelle is yet the mo^t plausible; he derives veterinariu* from veins (aged) because the oldest instructed: the youngest men in the treatment of farm animals says: Guarre veterinarian medicine prudens eBBe debet pi ris magister. Hensinger finds the derivation of the word in the Sancrit, an origin which is rather overdrawn.— Mt natssch. I. Ver. d. Thier. The Breeders Gazette seems to take the ground that t°e, races between Palo Alto and Jack are simply exhibition aH fairs end uses the following language. -'In referring to thei races aB exhibitions The Gazette does not wish to be under stood as intimating that the races between the Californii stallion and the Chicago gelding are not in every way bon fide contests, hut it does not take any stock In the talk abool a match for $5,000 a side having been made. Such a Btatl ment was ill-advised. It is a certainty that the presence in a race of two such horses as J-u-k and Palo Alto will suffice to) draw a crowd to any track in the country, and with Dobte and Marvin iu Ihe sulkies the public is well assured thai1 the contest will be genuine from start to finish. Whenii was given out that a match had been made between the tw horses there was an understanding that it would be trottc in Chicago, but the Washington Park management when ap- proached about the matter, would not give over $2,000 tcl1, have the race take place over its track, and aB Palo Aito aor Jack were to be in Detroit during the meeting there it wa resolved to have the race take place over that traok a week later.

St. Gatien was an exceptional racehorse, a good weight carrier and had a fair turn of speed which he proved when in 'he autumn of 1SS0, as a three- year-old he carried 122 lbs. to victory in the Cesarewitch beating 19 horses, a feat which has never beeu equalled. St. Gatien is by Rotherhill or The Rover out of Saint Editha by Kingley Yale from Lany Alice by Chanticleer from Agnes by Claiion from Annette by Priam. There was every reason to suppose the Saint wa1 by the Rover who was by Blair Athol from Crinon by Newminster. The Rover was afterwards hamstiuDg by the Irish gentlemen who were boycotting the owner. "Allah il Allah! "Great is Haggin and Salvator is his profit The grrind white legged chestnut went out on Wednesday and won the Champion Stakes at LoDg Branch by six lengths aud held bard at that, but lor nine furlongs Tennywasat his girlhs and clurg to him like a leech to a man with the tooth- ache. There can be no longer any doubt of the superiority of Salvator at any distance above nine furlongs. This makes two victories of Mr. Hag°in for this famous stake, once with the wonderful little mare Firenzi and once with Salvator. The famous mortgage of O'Grady seems insignificant besida Mr. Haggin 's traditional claim upon this race. In addition to this, Mr Baldwin won it with Los Angeles in 1SS9; and in 1887 Firenzi ran stcond for it to the then marvelous Han- over, whose musical appellation is now but the shadow of a great name. Worth, ch c by Luke Blackburn, out of Peytona Barry, ia ooe of the most relia'-le horses from six furlongs up to a mile that can be found in the second class of gallopers. He is but three jearB old and lias three or four very creditable per- formances recnrdef. He carries weight like a Fisherman and has lots of pice. It is not every three year old that can give a j ear's weight and a tearing to such fonr-year-olds as Pagan, Del Mar and Laiy Pulsifer. His mile in 1:41 with 122 pounds np, is overshadowed only by the performances of Tenny and Racine, Luke Bluc&burn is, in the stud as well as on the tnrf, fairly entitled to be considered the best son of noble old Bonnie Sotland. We should like to see how the great short- legged bay horse would cross upon Australian mares, espec- ially such as crntaiu the blood of Yattenden, Goldsbrough, Fisherman and Ntckercgat. The New York racing reporters know more than the horse owners of late. One of tbem feels called upon to refer to S. Brown in the following terms: "If Captain Sam Brown baa any consideration for the public's feelings he will immediate- ly and unhesitatingly retire that thoroughbred scoundrel, Re- porter, from the turf. Such an erratic, avil-minded, surly, Balking, despicable piece of horseflesh should rind a resting place either at Barren Island or at some of the sausage fac* : tories on Newton Creek. As a race horse, he's so unreliable that a man would need to have access to the Treasury vaults to secure funds enough to back him day after day. Retiie him, Captain, and receive a well merited popular benedic- tion." This is the horse that, according to the man that wrote the above, was pulled in a race a week or ten days ago. The Junior Champion Stake at long Branch,- the second most valuable race of the year, was won by that well bred cc\X Strathmeath, with. Sallie McCMlaud a good second. Nineteen candidates faced the starter and the race whs a cap ital contest. It somewhat detracts from the interest in fixed events of this sort, *o have them won ihree times in succes- sion by eeldings. The great white faced Proctor Knott won it in IS88; in 18S9 it fell to the colon d man's horse. Protec- tion; aud this year it has been captured by another gelding, Strathmeath. If this sort of business goes on much longer, it will be impossible for the owner of a stallion, Bbout to re- "tire from the turf, to advertise him as the winner of any im- portant fixed event. Stallions untried as sires have chiefly 'to rely upon their performances in bidding for public patron- age; and with the richest prizes carried off by horses of the neuter gender, the outlook for good entire colts is not nat- tering.

I went out without intending to bet a dollar, got in- terested, and made there what the world would call a for- tune. I first put £100 on one of my friend's horses at £5 to £1, and made £500. I put another £100 on the horse of a friend at £6 to £1, and he won this and gave me £600 more. I now had £1,100. I took £1,000 of it and pot it on Iroquois at £6 to 1, and Iroquois brought me in $30,000. Shortly after this I put $10,0C0 on Peter at the Royal Hunt iCupaeainst $55,000 and Peter won. At the St. Ledger I .put £4,000 on Iroquois against £9,000, and I again won. After other winnings I backed Foxhall for the Czuowitz; and ,put up $40,000 against $400,000 and Foxhall walked in. I .then backed him to win the Cambridgeshire for $350,000, i ind he stuck out his toogne and won it. It was so with >ther ventures, and my winnings all told amonnted to $1,- W0.000. I bad gone into the betting as an amusement, and j I was thunderstruck when I found upon my return to Amer- , ica that I was looked upon as a horse racer and had become i famous aa "The Plunger." I dun't like that title nor the i reputation. I am a man of family and expect to earn my , money from now on by the sweat of my brow and my brain. My advice to young men and to old men who are investine .n races is to let the bookmakers go West and till the soil I inrl make racing unprofitable by not patroniziDg it." ![Mr. Walton has magnified tbe amount considerably that be won, for it was scant $500,000, and in the interview he . does not state what the result was, the following time he , travelled over to England . The bookmakers still have an unbalanced sheet against the plunger.— Ed. T and T.j Harvey A. Smith, of Castle, Me., recently had a desperate encounter with a large and vicious stallion. He was har- nessed with another horse, when he suddenly attacked his mate with his teeth and hoofs. Sir. Smith quickly unhooked tbe traces and succeeded in uncoupling the horses, when the stallion attacked him. Mr. Smith managed to subdue the horse, and led him to the barn, where he hitched hini on the floor. He removed the harne6s. and was proceeding to take him to his stall, when the vicious brute suddenly attacked him again. The wind blew the barn door shut, and Mr. Smith was imprisoned on the floor with the frantic animal. For nearly half an hour he fought him with no weapon but his fists, leaping aside to avoid theassaultB as much as possi- ble, but being often knocked down and fearfully bruised. Finally the horse in some way disengaged a sled stake from the side of the mow, and Smith saw it rolling ton ard him on the floor. Seizing the stake, he swung it with all the strength of desperation, and striking the stallion just behind the ear, with one blow laid him dead at his feet. Smith was badly injured. The pool room 6rm of Madden & Smith of New York city played a mean but successful trick on their rivals Mack- in & Marks. The latter firm is not in possession of a West- ern Union wire, and used to receive the results of the races as called out by Madden & Smith, and a messenger conveyed tbe information to tbeir rooms. A short while ago in the ra«e for the Tyro Stakas at Monmouth, Messrs. Madden *fc Smith, through their friends, played Sallie McClelland very quietly and heavily in the rooms of Mackin Lt Marks. When the returns came from the races, they announced that Sallie McClelland had won, although she was really last. The mes- sengers of tbe other firm carried the news to their rooms. Neither Madden nor Smith, however, paid off any debts on Sallie McClelland. They had received the correct news and simply falsified it. Some time arterward the announcement was made that Strathmeath had really won and Sallie Mc- Clelland had finished last. It was too late, then, for the victimized rooms to save themselves; the money had been paid to a horde of people and Mackin & Marks lost heavily. John H. Phillips, of Parkville, Brooklyn L. I , says: "I recently had an inquiry from Europe for a speedy trotter which was being campaigned thisyear, and one which is show- ing recent winning lorm." This foreign inquirer evidently knows what he is about. He is right when he offers to put his money up for a horse which can and is going down the line, in preference to one which is resting on past laurels. The present season has evidenced, among other features, that very many trotters with past records do not or cannot come up to their pest form. Some of Phillips' reminiscences are quite apropos. He sayB; "When I was living up in Maine some of the Bmart horsemen would bar a certain horse from the ice races. The fact is, he would not stand training, but of couise that was known only to a few and kept in the backgiound. Pretty soon some strangers would come along, and noticing a certain horse barred out of the races would think: 'This must be a pretty good sort of horse; he's barred; they won't trot against him. Wonder what would buy him?' " Jack says these tactics often resulted in a good, stiff price being paid for the excluded one.

A telegram from Chicago says that Corporation Counsel Hutchinson, in an interview, admitted that Mayor Cregier and himself have under consideration the advisability of for- feiting the license onder which Ed. Corrigan runs the West Side Race Track. This would mean a complete stop to the equine contests, such as they are, at that resort. Incidental to the war between two rival factions of gamblers, Corrigan has been harrassing the Mayor to such an extent that the latter has lost patience, and is now ready to go almoBt any length to "get even." Corrigan has charged in a bill made public by its presenta- tion in court that the Mayor has been "standing in with" certain gamblers, and he subsequently so managed things that Mr. Cregier had been left no opportunity of disproving thepe charges in court. "We have not come to a definite decision in regard to the matter yet," said tbe corporation counsel. _ "I think, how- ever, under the circumstances it would be just what Corri- gan is deserving of, and the Mayor would be entirely war- ranted in doing so." How does Strathmeath suit you for the Futurity, yon folks that go down to the pool-rooms to back the gallopers? He has been a very consistent performer and is owned by Green Morrio, one of the shrewdest of all American turf operators. Analyze his pedigree and you find but few better bred horses iu America. He is by Strathmore, out of Fluwer of Meath, by imp. Bnckden, her dam Grace Darling by Hiawatha, out of Emma Desha by Highlander, her dam Corsioa by Levia- than out of Susan Yandell, tbe mare that beat everything of her day. On tbe sires side be runs slap-bang into tbe ped- igrees of Luke Blackburn, George Kinney and Salvator. His sir*. Strathmore, was by Waverly, out of Brenna (grand dam of The Bard) her dam Levity by imp Trustee out of the dam of Alsrio and Vandal. Waverly was by imp Australian, out of imp Cicely Jooson by Weatherbit. (sire of Beadsman) her dam Cestrea hy Faugh-a Ballagh. Here be has the blood of Melbourne, Newmiuister, Bay Middleton, Albion, Lottery, Glencoe and Muley, coupled witn two crosses of Sir HerculeB and one each of Catton and Bleoklock. It is a great pi< y that so richly bred a colt should have been emasculate-!. He baa darted seven times (his season, winning four times, twice secoDd. and only once unplaced. It ie difficult to find a more coDBistent performer of his agesince the days whenSensation carried the colors of George Lorillard in his long and unbrok- en serieB of victories. The sensational performers of the trotting turf have com- menced gathering at Washington Park preparatory to the meeting of the Northwestern Association of Trotting and Pacing-Horse Breeders, says the Horseman, which commences on August 13th aud continues for six days. Among those aheady at the track is a contingent from Bodd Doble's stable, in charge of George Starr, including the famous Axtell, John- ston, 2.-06.I, Ed Annan and seven other good ones. A. L. Thomas bas the Caton Slock Farm string of Don Cossacks and others. Frank Brown has Roseberry and eleven others. Tobe Broderick has the pacer Tom McCarthy and several green ones. Billy McDonald has A. J. Leet's string from Maryville, Mo., among which are a numberof fast ones. Pete Johnson has eight from the Kalamazoo Stock Farm of S. A. Browne & Co., and it is safe to predict that they will earn their oats. There are also a number of other strings, and horses are arriving daily. It promises to be the grandest trotting meeting ever held in Chicago. Many persons are of opioion (says "'Olympus" in Mel- bourne Punch) that a handicapper has no business to place Buch an impost as 10ct. 51b. (145 lbs ) on a horse for a han- dicap fiat race of two miles; but in this, as in everything else, the Victorian racing world isn't like it used to was. Lord love you, I remember the time when there were three gentle- men UBed to apportion the weights for the Melbourne Cup; and after that black demon, The Barb, had won the Sydney Cup with lOst. Sib. (148 lbs ) what do you think they clapped on him for the Melbourne Cup? Only eleven stone seven pounds 1G1 lb.) — that was all. And because there was some doubt as to whether his Btable companion, Glencoe, wasn't juBt as good as the son of Sir Hercules and Young Gulnare, they gave him 31b. less— list. 41b. That was when there was a ost. 71b. (77 lb.) minimum, too, the lowest weight be- ing none other than the celebrated sire of so many winners, Bonny Carlisle. The steamer Argus, which left Sydney last month tor Cal- cutta, had as passengers the well-known racehorses Bravo and The Wild Oat. Should Messrs. Apcarand Gascar carry out their present intentions (says the Melbourne Sportsman) we may yet have the satisfaction of hearing of Australian bred horse?, prepared by a native born — not an aboriginal — and ridden by an Australian jockey, taking part in some of the events to be run in EDgland nest summer. W. Southall, the well known trainer for these gentlemen, informed the writer that all going well with Bravo and The Wild Oat, he would take them, along with Moorhouse, to England, where they would join Paladin, who is at the present time being trained at Newmarket by Ryan, who has charge of Mr. Cooper's 611y Lady Betty. Sjuthall will accompany the horses named to the Old Country, and J. Robinson will also go to ride them. W. Southall and M. Trahan, his brother-in- law, also went in the same boat. The Greenville Bulletin says: The prospects for a highly successful fair at Quiocy are very encouraging at the present time. Tbe racetrack has been put in excellent condition for training, it having been thoroughly worked and ample irri- gation facilities provided. A number of improvements will be made at the park. Ten more bos stalls will be erected and it is thought these will not be sufficient to accomodate all race horses that will be at the fair. There should be more improvements made, in order that the District may keep pace with other Districts. The Judges' and timers' stand might be improved in several respects, also the me- thod of annouocing the races, the position of the horses in the races, the time of race, etc. Several small improvements could be made at little expense, and for the credit of the District and the county, the Direotors should not hesitate to make them. There are now about twenty-five racehorses at the park, mostly trotters, the principal stables being those of Brans- fordtfcMcClellan aud Dr. J. S.Carter. Horses in both stables are making rapid improvement. Aside from their own, Bransford it McClellan are driving eight horses belonging to other parties, and they could have more. Mr. Alfred Joseph, the well known Australian penciller, who is at present in the old country, is not enamoured of the English racecourses. He says they are in no way to be compared with Flemington, Randwick or Caulfield, although he admired Sandown Park very much. Newmarket he styles a "huge robbery," and it is rough to have to pay 19s lid railroad fare from London, 10s cab fare, the same admission for ditto, 30s paddock ticket, and 20s saddling paddock ticKet. Newmarket, with its many racecourses, and winning paats all over the shop, our friend did not like, while tbe crush and difficulty to Bee a race make matters worse. "No won- der" he remarks, "that so many Australians I met did not like racing in England." Mr. Joseph naturally had an eye on the betting at Newmarket. He says he was amazed at the gigantic operations, and the limited number of book- makers inTattersall's ring. No wonder they lay long prices. The horses are well qwned, the Jockey Club stand no non- sense, and the horses try, so that tbe horses and the ring have an "equaller." As to the jockejs at Newmarket, Mr. Joseph observes i hat the riding is wonderful, and some of the finishers fairly amaze him, with such artists as Tom Can- non, the Barretts, Watts and Tommy Loates. Over the Bricks, excepting W. Nightingall, the English croFs country riders are not in it with Scobie, Corrigan and Ferguson. The following interesting particulars regarding Sorefoot, who won the Two Thousand Guineas, Bnd rich Prince of Wales Stake at Leicester this year were published in a Lon- don sporting paper; — "Surefoot is by Wisdom, ont of a mare by Galopin, from Miss Foote; and here I am reminded of a bit of bad luck which befel Wadlow. Wisdom, who cost something between 800 guineas, and 000 guineas as a year- ling, proved practically worthless as a racehon-e, and passed into the hands of bis trainer, above mentioned, for the modest consideration of 50 guineas, at which figure he was allowed iu time to become the property of Mr. A. Hoole, with tbe contmgtncy that the vendor should be permitted to send two mares free of fee to him annually. This agreement stood good for about ten years when there came a refusal on the technical ground that the horse had been made over to Urs. Hoole by deed of gift. Naturally, there was a row in Hih camp, and the matter was only Baved going into Court at tbe last minute by a compromise. It will be admitted that in all this Wadlow was not lnckv, aud to make tbe mis-dtal quite complete, after lending Enigma to a neighboring far mer for a hack and trapper, he eventually gave her nway. She, in turn, pasnad into tbe possession of Mr. Hoole for something like a 'score,' and mated with Wisdom, produced Mr. Hammond's celebrated mare Florence. Subsequent to this an otter of £3000 was, if I am rightly informed, relu*. rl for Enigma, with a foal at foot. Who *>ball say. after loin that there is nothing in luck?" 122 *g\xz \xtz&£X attxl J^rtsmaw, Aug. 16 Pacing and Trottine Fast Miles. Cricket JLowers Her Record at tlie Buffalo Meeting:. Buffalo, Aug. 6th.— There were the osaal three races for the commencement of the Grand Circuit meeting here to-day. Eleven heats disposed of them with little delay. The BeldB were moderately large, and only in one heat, the second of the 2:30 class, was there any tedioas scorinp. It was not a faBt track that greeted the fliers, for the surface was rough after the wetting it got yesterday, and there was a further handicap in a wind which blew up the homestretch and stopped the horses considerably. For all that, most of the miles were below 2:20. and the pacers reeled off five heats at a fast average, the best of them going to Crioket in 2:13£. This reduces her record of 2:14}, but the mare was not able to win the race, and sustained her first defeat Bince Bhe came from California. Dallas was the successful candidate to-day, and his backers got even for their losses last week at Cleve- land. Betting was 2 to 1 on Cricket before the first heat, which she won in 2:15i, Dallas making a vain attempt to overtake her. Then the pools were 3 to 1 on the mare from California, and the second heat -waB a rattling struggle be- tween her and Dallas. The latter made his usual rush from the halt aud fought every inch of the way to the wire, finish- ing so close to Cricket that it looked like an even thiDg til! the judges bung out the mare's number. The odds were 4 to 1 on Cricket after that, bet Dallas outstaid her, and cap- tured the nest three heats despite her efforts. He was much the fresher horse in the latter part of the contest, while Crioket fell back to third place, when Jocko, a young pacer bred here, made a bid for the money. Dallas was too rapid for him, however, and made the five heats without a mistake, while Cricket and Jocko both lost their stride. 1 here were two events for trotters, the first for the 2:30 class and the second for the 2:20 cla?s, but neither furnished Bnch sport as the pacers did, aud both went to favoriteB. Leo- pard Eose had the easiest kind of a victory in the slow, and Margaret S. tripped away in the faster one with little trouble. SUMMARIES. 2 :30 class. -Purse SJ.0CO. Leopard Rose, by Killbuck Tom.

This was largely due to the fact that in each class one of the horses was so supeiior to the held that he walked away with the prize as he pleased.

S, — Fifteen thousand people went out to the driving park to-day, attracted by the announcement that Sunol and Bell Hamlin would attempt to lower the rec- ords of 2:10V and 2:12^ made by them respectively. The weather was intensely hot in the early part of the afternoon, but toward evening a cool breeze tempered the rays of the sun. The track was dry and in seemingly good condition, but it lacked elasticity. It was dragged this afternoon just before the special event. It was nearly five o'clock when the flyers were rang up. Both the mares received a warm reception from the thousands that filled the grandstand and lined the track. After some preliminary warming up, the jndge announced that the horses would not go to the limit of their speed, bat would be sent to beat 2;15. This was for the purpose of giving Sunol a rec- ord as a four-year-old, the be3t reoord up to to-day being 2:16. Belle Hamlin was sent first. Andrews gave her her head, and Bhe flew to the quarter in 0:33|, and to the half in 1:06. The running mate joined her ou the next quarter, and she leached the three-quarters in 1:40. Coming into the stretch the wind blew straight in her faoe, and she did not make the finish that was expected. She came steady, but at the dis- tance pole she was perceptibly tiring. Andrews did not pun- ish her, but let her take her own pace, and she passed under the wire in 2:14£. The California wonder, Sunol, was then called up. As she passed up the stretch for the start, she received a Balvo of applause. Taming jast above the distance pole, she got under headway and passed under the wire in full motioD. She reached the quarter in 0;33$, slow time for her, bat Bhe made up for it in the distance to the half, which waa reached in 1:05$, or 0:31| for the quarter. To three quarters, where the track was poorest, she lo3t again, reaching thd third pole in 1:38$. At the head of the stretch the running mate waB waiting for her, but before she got t rimed around Sunol had passed him, and was away ahead. The runner did not catch her until well down the stretoh, and when she heard her on her wheel, the gallant little mare flew onward and passed under thewirejin 2:11 j, jast three-quarter of a Becond slower than her California reoord. As the time was huDg out the crowd burst iuto applause, ong continued. Considering the track and the fact that the wind on the stretch made a difference of a full second, Snnol's performance to-day more than equals that which rankB her next to the queen of the turf, Maud S.

Written fob the Bheedes and Spoetbman bt S. S. Boyston, Oro- YILLE, OAL. The area of these three counties is about 8,200 square miles, or a trifle greater than Massachusetts. The section is shut off from the rest of the State by high and rugged mountains. The products cannot be placed in our leading markets with- out being hauled over these mountains on wagons, or else shipped by rail to Reno, Nevada, and thence back over the Sierras on the Central Pacific, a long and expensive route. The counties named include the- only extensive dairy region of California, where the same conditions of climate exist that are found in many of the noted butter producing States east of the Rocky Mountains. In the great dairy counties along the coast of California, ' the winter climate is favorable, and there is no fall of snow. In the three counties named, the snow falls from two to six , .feet in depth, and cows must be stabled fully five mouths ,each season. The altitude of this region is high, there being [ no localities under 3,000 feet. Owing to the topography of ■the country, there are many small valleys, but do large ones. No uniform methods are pursued by the different butter makers. One man uses the old fashioned eight qnart pans, set with six quarts of milk, and placed on straight racks • ■along the walls. A second uses the same pans placed on siroular racks. A third has large shallow pans placd in running water, while a fourth uses deep cans almost sub- merged in water. Dairymen report but little difference in the quantity of cream from these various methods. A few are using cream separators, but the number is very limited, though excellent results are reported. I There is no organization, no Dairymen's Association, and iqo unity of aution among the producers. Nu record is kept mot eaoh ow's milk, nor is that from any particular cow set by iitself to teat the quantity of butter made. At the various ■local fairs, no premiums are offered lor the cow that gives the most milk or yields the largest number of pjunds of butter. All fair premiums are given upon the general appearance of the cow. Dairymen buy their cows judging from iheir lookn, ■ind often pay as much fur a poor milker as a good one. Owing to "the distance from market, most of the butter must be packed in kegs. Three sizes are used, called firkins I'aolding 100 pounds, half firkins holding fifty pounds, and kkits containing twenty-five pounds. These kegs are made sf white b'r, only a limited number of dairymen usiog the oetter made and preferable oak kegs. The natural pastures are excellent, the grasses being largely slover in the lower valleys, and bunch grass in those of higher altitude. Among the cultivated grasses, timothy ranks first, though alfalfa and red top are attracting consider- able attention. Water and horse-power churns are used in the larger fairies, while the smaller ones are content with hand power i ones. Most of the men employed are Swiss dairymen of skill and experience although a few young Americans accus- tomed from boyhood to this work are occasionally found. It is estimated that each milker ought to take care of from twenty-three to twenty-five cows. The most reliable esti- mates place the yield of milk at from forty to forty-five pounds for each cow per day. The butter yield is estimated ■it from 120 pounds per year for each cow to 246 pounds. The former is from dairies at Big Meadows, Plumas County, where the season of milking was short, and the latter from a dairy of 2S cows owned by A. B. Huntley, in Sierra Valley. The estimate of Richard Thompson, of Indian Valley, Plumas County, is 170 pounds per cow; that ofWm. Arni3; a£ Sierra Valley, 200 pounds: that of R. Siover,Big Meadows, •Plumas County, is ISO pounds. These are daymen of long experience. i Reliable estimates of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo vjuotriee run from 150 to 200 pounds per cow eaoh yaer. In Marin the estimate is a trifle higher. Prices for the past (ew years have ranged from 22 to 25 per pound. Owing to i limited local market the winter price has not varied from that of the summer. In Bummer many cows are driven to small, high, mountain valleys having an altitude from five to six thousand feet. The advantages are rich and nutritious grasses, pure cold water and a splendid climate for butter production. In these high valleys frost occurs almost every night and ice forms .frequently in July and August, Fires must be keptevenings :md mornings in ths dairy houses, and warm water is used to heat the churn when about to be used. The barns are large and Btrong, and huilt with high steep roofs to hold up the great weight of snow. Orie of these barns owned by John L. Crow of Clover Valley, Plumas County, holds 320 tons of hay,and has stable rooms for 120 cows. The altitude of Clover Valley is 5.250 feet, and snow has been known to fall 12 feet in depth. The cows are turned out to graze at night and then driven ■ io by 4 o'clock the following morning, they are milked and turned out again by seven, driven up at five in the afternoon l iod are turned out for night by half past Bix. The milk is I carried into the dairy house in buckets, although in a few I instances a large tank on the outside receives the milk and * then is carried into the Loose by means of a pipe. I The milk stands from 24 to 36 hours when the cream is I akimmed off. The cream then stands for twenty-four hours - and butter is made every day or every other day according to ♦ the number of cows in the dairy. Inmost instances the calves are allowed to take milk from the mother for the first [four days, then fed upon new milk till a month old, and then | fed upon skim milk till they are weaned when about four (months old. The price of good cows varies from $33 to $50. It is esti- , mated that three gallons of milk in the spring or two and a half gallons in summer will make a pound of butter. A cow • that will produce three quarters of a pound of butter per 'day is couBidered an extra one. They will fall behind fine dairy cows in the Atlantic Slates and in Europe in this re- j spect, though the estimates given us refer to the average cow land not to those especially selected. In packing the butter one pound of salt is used for each [twelve pounds of butter, while in putting up rolls one pound ' of Bait is taken for each fifteen pounds of butter. The mar- ; trets for the counties named are Oroville, and Chico in Butte I oounty, Red Blnff in Tehama, and Reno in the State of Ne- 1 vada. Occasionally butter is shipped to Marysville and to 3a"ramento. ) Graded Durhams are the favorite stock in these mountain ' dairies, though both Eolsteina and Jerseys have been in- troduced. Among those who have paid close attention to their stock are E. D. Hoselkus of Genesee Valley, and Wni. Arms of Sierra vallev. G. S. Church in Sierra valley, Sierra county, and J. W. Thompson of American valley, Plumas county; each have Holsteins, while W. P. Hall of Susanville, Lassen county, is using the Jerseys for dairy cows. The dairies in the three counties named average from 30 to 80 cows each, although a few are found having more cows. The butter produced is rich flavored, well colored, and has good keeping qualities. The principal valleys in Lassen noted for better making are Honey Lake, Long, Secret, Horse Lake, Big, Dry and Willow Creek. About 40,000 pounds of cheese is made each year and 150,- 000 pounds of butter. In Plumas the principal valleys are Big Meadows, Indian, Genesee, Clover, Mohawk, Humbug, and a part of Sierra valley. The amount of cheese is esti- mated at 10 000 pounds, while the butter is estimated at 200,- 000 pounds. The output of Sierra is less than thai of Las- sen. In the ordinary methods of working, the milk stands from 24 to 2G hours, is then skimmed and the cream stands twenty-four hours. The cream is churned every day or every other day, according to the number of cows kept in the dairy. After being churned the butter is washed in cold water, Btands twenty-four hours and is then worked a sec- ond time and salted. It is then either packed down in kegs or put up in rolls. Ice, though abondant, ib not used in any of these dairies, and as a rule there is no cold cellar or ice room where the butter is kept. In some instances strong brine is poured over the butter in the kegs but in others this is not done. The principal dairies in Plumas are those of E D. Hosel- kus, 85 cows in Genesee Valley; John L. Crow, 100 cows in Clover Valley: Bacher Bros., 80 cows in Indian Valley; R. Stover, 60 cows in Big Meadows: Dotta Bros, and L. W. Bonnell with 60 oows each in Big Meadows. In Sierra Valley the half dozen largest dairies are those of A. S. Nichols, 5S; D. C. Berry, 55; f . Rosencrans, 60; M. Ramelli, 45, O. S. Church, 30; and EJ Hamlin, 34 cows. In Sierra Valley there are three small creameries in opera- tion and the results have been very satisfactory. One of these is owned by A. S. Nichols near Sierraville; the Becond by O. S. Church at Santey, and the third by Street & Wiltse on the road between Summit and Loyalton. Sixty cents a hundred pounds is paid for the milk, each owner buying from his nearest neighbors. The De Loval cream separators are used, and it iB estimated that from fif- teen to twenty per cent, more cream is obtained than will rise naturally. The creamery butter commands a higher price and sells more readily. The Bkim milk is returned to the dairymen and fed to calves or hog* so that nothing is lost. From three to three and a half pounds of butter is obtained from each 100 pounds of milk. It is thought that these creameries will rapidly increase in all three counties, and that greater profits can be made in the future in hotter making. The greatest drawback is the poor facilities for sending their products to market. When either of the counties named is crossed by a railroad coming to San Francisco dairying will receive a great impetus and each one engaged will make more money out of his occupa- tion. Shorthorn Breeders' Association. At the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Shorthorn Breeders' Association it was determined to hold two annual sales a year, under the auspices of the Association, at which sales only pure bred Shorthorns should be sold. The first of these sales was held last April, and when we consider the ef- fect the severe winter had on all stock raisers, the sale may be fairly considered an unqualified succesB. The second sale of the year will take place on Friday morning, September 19th (during the State Fair) at Sacramento. All cattle raisers» whether for the market or the dairy, should first of all join the Association and then endeavor to improve their breed of cattle. Shorthorns hold the same position among cattle that thoroughbreds do among horses; in fact they are the thoroughbred cattle, and cattle owners should recollect that a cross of pure blood will improve both horses and cattle; this has long been acknowledged by all historians and writ- ers. Like begets like is one of the most powerful laws of nature, and so long ago as the reign of Julius Cresar this was written of as an established fact, one of the first Latin lyric poets saying — as is splendidly and expressively translated by that brilliant historian and scholar Frank Forester (Henry William Herbert): '■The brave are by the brave and good. There is in steeri, there is in horses' blood. The virtue of their sires. No timid dove Springs from the coupled eagle's love." In the present era it is universally conceded that good stock can only be raised from good parents. Breeders should never forget that if they wish to make a success it behooves them to purchase pure bred cattle and keep improving their herds year by year by introducing new blood. Speaking of improving the breed of cattle in Texas, and it applies just as well here to a certain class of people, the Fort Worth Gazette says: It has been said, written and sung time and again that the sonner cattlemen realize the fact that the best way to improve the price of cattle is to improve the cattle them- selves, the better it will be for them; yet there are still in Texas cattlemen who are hanging on to their sorub bulls and raising a class of cattle that are always at the bottom of the market. Day after day it is practically demonstrated to those who can see anything that there iB no money in scrub cattle. Still, strange to say, some people go on raising scrub cattle and enssiug the markets because they cannot get short- horn prices for longhorn steers. One good thoroughbred bull in a herd of cattle i8 worth more than a hundred of the class referred to herein, and it b strange indeed that so many people are williDg to continue ignoring blood Bimply because they do not wish to go down in their pockets and pull out the price of a good blooded bull. If every scrub bull in Texas should be shot down on the prairies to-day an^ left there, it would be the greatest benefit to to the cattle industry in Texas that could be conferred on it. There are many large ranchmen who long ago discarded the ordinary Texas bull, and it is these men who wear good clothes to-day and put up at the best hotels when they come to town. To keep a scrub bull in the herd and raise sorub calves simply because the bull is cheap and will beget as many calveB a? a thorooghbred is poor economy. His get may be just as numerous as that of the bio »■ ed but when the two are pot on the market the difference is soon seen. The scrub is neglected even at low prices, while the graded ani- mal is sought after and commands the top of the market. Those cattlemen who during the past five or six years have been engaged in grading up their herds with Short-horns Herefords and other popular breeds do not have so much cause to kick against the market as those who have failed to do so; they are getting good prices for their beef from buy- ers of cnoice cattle, while the others are relegated to the ten- der mercies of the canner. who generally buys at his own fignres. There are two things that will do more to improve beef cattle prices than all things else, and thev are. better cattle and a shorter supply. Let cattlemen atop glutting the market with a mixture of poor and good cattle, and raise only the latter, and prices will improve beyond a doubt.— So-Called Lard. Forty years ago, or lesB, "refined lard" was an honest ar- ticle, made by depriving lard of a portion of its oil. This made the lard stiffer and capable of standing up better in hot weather. It won for the manufacturer a good reputation and a good business. It was discovered that a combination of beef stearine and cotton-seed oil could hardly be distin- guished by smell or taste from "refined lard." This was thrown on the market in competition, under various names, "refined lerd," "pure refined lard," "choice family lard," and "compound lard." It was made of material chaaper than lard and under-sold it; and it has now so far outrun the honeBt article that a good authority saya 320,000,000 pounds of it are sold where only 2SO.000.000 pounds of' the genuine are. Formerly 500,000,000 pounds of the genuine were sold annually. On the testimony of Prof. H W Wiley twelve samples of lard prepared by Fairbanks & Co , of Chi- cago, contained cotton-seed oil; and twelve prepared by Ar- mour & Co., which Prof. Wiley examined, ten contained cotton-seed oil and two were pure. Of the twelve, seven werebranded "pure refined family lard," one "kettle refined lard," three "choice refined family lard," one "prime refined family lard," and one "compound lard" Of Fairbanks ic Co's twelve samples, eight were branded "prime refined family lard," one "choice refined family lard," one "pure refined family lard," one "prime refined family lard," and one "compound lard." Surely all lard-eaters may exclaim What s in a name? — Mirror and Farmer. Wool and Mutton. C. G. Burbank, Menard Co., Texas, writes the American Wool reporter: "The sheep business in Texas is again in a flourishing condition. Wool is s Iling at a price above the cost of production, muttons have been generally sold at good figures, and there are indications of a strong demand for stock sheep in the near future. The increase of lambs was large and they are now doing well, but so great has been the sale and shipment of wethers and dry ewes, that the net in- crease of sheep will be small. Never has there been such a demand for fat Bheep. Shorn wethers have sold as high as $4, and two-year wethers and dry ewe3 mixed at S'2.50. The price has been so tempting that nearly all the wethers above and including two-year-olds have been disposed of. and ewes materially reduced in numbers. But there will be no scar- city of sheep, nor lack of wool All the ewes retained will be used this fall, and it will not take Texas long, if present conditions retain, to recover the sheep lost since 18S4, and even largely increase that number. That this prosperity is largely due to anticipated favorable tariff legislation, I think cannot be disputed, and if this ef- fect is produced already, to what heights may we not attain when the realization comes. But you may be consoled by the fact that "what goes up must come down." The Ameri- can Reporter and the other trade papers, even those that do not share your views as to the tariff on wool, are pleasant reading to wool growers just now. Your wails and lamenta- tions; because the growers are, for the first time in some yeais, getting a small profit, are as music in their ears. But tbey are more liberal than you or a large class of wool man- ufacturers, for we are not only willing, but anxious, that the manufacturer may prosper also, recognizing that in their prosperity, ours lies, only asking that they do not prosper at our expense." Corn in Texas- The continued dry weather in Texas has undoubtedly cut short what at one time bid fair to be the finest corn crop ever raised in the State, and the corn crop falling so far below what it was expected to reach will have its effect on the cattle industry. Had the corn yield this year been an abundant one— that is, furnishing a heavy surplus— there would have been more cattle fed in Texas next winter than there ever has been in the past; but as the yield will be so much shorter than was anticipated, the prospects now are that there will be a shortage of fed cattle. Thus steer cattle, which have been kept over daring the winter to feed for next spring's market, will probably be taken from the eraBs and put on the fall market, and this means more cattle on the market than there otherwise would have been unless the breeding States north take them from Texas. Kansas has had fine rains recently, and reports say a fine corn crop is assured there. In fact there are reports from all the northwestern States of good crop prospects, and it may be that those States will relieve the market by taking Texas feeders when they can be shipped to those sections. If this is not done, Texas cer- tainly can furnish more cattle to the markets than she would have done had the corn crop been better. — Fort Worth Ga- zette. Favorable to American Pork. Recent dispatches from Berlin state that the Westphalian Pork Packers' Association, whose interests Bismarck thought to protect by prohibiting the importation of Amerioan pork has sent a deputation to the general director of inland taxes praying him to inform the government that the protection scheme does not work in their interest. They will refrain from protesting if the law he oancelled. The director replied that it was not improbable that the law would be repealed The chambers of Halle and Waldenback, the mo6t import- ant pork markets in Germany, indorse the request of th Westphalian. — Cincinnati Price Current. 124 ^Itc fprccte awtt j^portsmau. Aug. 16 Base Ball and Athletic Department The California League. GAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON. SAN FRANCISCO vs. SACRAMENTO. Thursday, August 7th, 1890. The Friscos made a remarkably strong appearance, having Teek aboo Veach on first and Young and Speer in the points. They played with a dash that has been conspicu- ously absent in their work for many weeks, and as both sides did an equal amount of heavy hitting in addition to some very sharp and brilliant fielding, the game may be put down as o.ue of the good ones of the season. The Senators, though hitting hard, failed to bunch on Young, while Hofi- man was hit luckily with men on bases. This accounts for the victory of the home team. A remarkable thing about the game was the number of pretty double plays made. Frisco had four, Veach participating in all and Sbea in three; the Sacramentos had two. Levy and Stapleton were wonder- fully effective at the bat, each securing three hits, and the former came within an "eje brow" of getting one over the right field fence. Reitz, Hoffman, Shea, Young and Hanley also did good service in the same department. The outfield- ing of Roberts. Goodenough and Hanley. and the exception- ally clever infield work of both teams were pleasing featmes.

This turned out to be a lively and interesting game.despite the fact that there were many misplays, especially on the Colonels side, and as usual, General Tip O'Neill captured the Drize in this department. The crowd was one of the largest ever assembled inside the Emery grounds aod although they were rather subdued as the Senators rolled up four runs in the fifth and thereby gained a big lead, their euthusiasm knew no bounds when the Colonels by great luck got the same number over the plate in the ninth and tied the score. Then the Senators came in. and did telling work with the , stick. Stapleton hit safely and was advanced to second on Reitz's sacrifice. McHales scorching single right over short — his first in the game scored Stapleton which won the game. Charley Dooley, late of the New York Giants made bis reap- pearance in a Colonels uniform and received a hearty ovation. As both Harper and Carney were bit freely the fielders had plenty to do and in this respect McDonald. Stickney, O'Neill Daly, Keitz and Roberts carried off the honors.

STOCKTON vs. SAN FKANCISCO. Friday, August Stii, 1890, at Stockton. With a lead of four runs at the beginning of the eighth luning, it looked as though the 'Friscos would be victorious, but they fell to pieces iu this inning, aud let the Stooktouw get Gve of their players across the plate, thereby winning the gitnie. Ei^kt hits were made off both T.nnkflbangh nnd Kil- roy, but the gentleman with the swagger from PhiladephiH, got by far the better support. The left side of thu Frisco's field was very rocky, Captain Buck Ebright himself leading by making three glaring errors. Everett also hud a co&tly one, and Levy two. Voght made his reappearance, and caught a splendid game, being strong in throwing aud keep- ing runners close to their bases. Fogarty's work at the bat and in his position, set Stocktonians wild with delight Shea, Cahill aud Wilson were also timely hitters in the game, and the clever fielding of Fudger, Fogarty, Selna.

Saturday, Aug. 9th, 1890, at San Francisco. A large Saturday crowd saw this very excellent game at the Haight St. grounds. Both teams went in for business fiom the go, aud although the hitting was sharp.brisk and finished fielding kept down the figures in the run column. Cobb was in the box in the Colontls, and the hits made off him were well scattered. Hoffman pitched good steady ball, errorB in the second and third innings, together with a couple of long drives accounting for the Oaklands four runs. The Senators had but two runs on their string at the beginning of the ninth, and there seemed to be but little hope for them crawl- ing out of the hole. But they are great finishers and made a desperate attempt to tie the score. Hoffman popped up a flv to Stickney and Goodenough got his base ou balls. Daley's hit to Cobb forced Goodenough at second, but Godar's safety to right field sent the short stop to Becood, and Bowman's single to left scored him, Stapleton ended the game by go- ing out on N. O'Neill's assist. The prettiest feature of the game was McDonalds superb second base playing,he accepting twelve of thirteen chances, the error being a pardonable one owing to a collision between himself and Dungan. Roberts, Bowman, O'Neill and McDonald did good battmg, and Reitz, Daley, Stapleton, Dooley and Roberts put up a great fielding game. The score: Sacbamento. OAKLANDS. AB n.BH.PB.PO.A O.

It was a wonderful game, for with the Stocktons six runs ahead in the seventh inning, the Friscos tied the score and'after that not a man crossed the plate on either Bide till the fourteenth when the Gas Cityites did some gilt edged stick work and won. Perrott was the first man up and he rapped out a safe one-, Duane followed with another of the bame charac- ter, but Cahill's hit to Everett forced Perrott out at third. Armstrong's triple, however, told the tale, sending both men over the rubber. The Friscos couldn't tally in their half aud so lost a loDg and stubbornly contested battle. Hapeman pitohed till the eighth inning, being batted heavily in the seventh. Perrott then relieved him and his work was of the finest possible character. Young's pitching on the whole was good, but he allowed his delivery to be bunched on in the four, fifth and fourteenth. Armstreng, Fudger, Duane, Wilson and Everett did tremendous work at the bat. The following table presents heavy colums of figures, and con- sidering the length of the game the error column makes a very respectable contrast against the one hundred and twenty-nine chances offered.

OAKLAND vs. STOCKTON Sunday, August 10, 1S90. The Stockton management displayed very poor judgment in putting Perrott — who pitched a masterly game the day previous — in the bos for this game. The Btrain was too great and so after four innings of excellent work be weak- ened and was touched up lively in the fifth and seventh— the only inDings in which the Colonels scored. TLe Stock" tons couldn't buuch on little Carney at all and their five hits were divided equally between the first five innings. Cahill banged out the first ball pitched him for a triple which seemed a very auspioious opening. He scored the only run of his side, however, on Selna's sacrifice to McDonald. The Oaklands commenced their bombardment in the fifth. N. O'Neill struck out but Stockwell got in a double and Carsey's duplicate scored him. Dooley 's single to left sent Carsey's across the plate making two earned runs that inning. ThiB was sufficient to win the game but they augumented their score three runs in the seventh on singles by 0. O'Neill and Lohm<»n. Dungans doable and errors of Fudger and Fogarty. The fie'dinp was excellent throughout. Doolev and Selna played first base in a most clevpr manner and all the uther sections of tbe field w*re capablv guarded with the exception of tbe Bhort stop position — N. O'Neill and Fudger each mak- ing two misplays there. Cahill and Dungan led the hitting, the latter going one better than a hundred safe shots for tbe season. The 6core: Oakland. SroCKTONH. AI3.II.

The trouble was the wagon tongues wielded by Finns lately augmented aggre* gation of terrific hitters, almost utterly failed to affilliate with Harper's criss-cross curves. Tbe score feebly points out three little hits as the extent of the stick work of the Goblins, while the Senatorial parlies averages were fattened by twelve solid smashes off Lookabaugh. Daley and Speer were both injured in the game, and retired in favor of Hoffman aud Stevens respectively, Young going to right field for the Fris- cos. The fielding of Stapleton's men was in accordance with their batting, while the Frisco boys made some startling errors in which resnect Willie Walter Veach led with three glaring misplayB. Hoberts, who of late has been batting bard and frequently, had three safe hits to his credit in this game, and Stapletou, Goodenough and Godar two each, the latter including a home run. There were many bits of nice field- ing, Levy, Shea, Reitz, Goodenough, Roberts and Stapletou excelling.

The Senators have a mighty lead. Vogt, Kilroy's side partner, ia again in harness. McCarthy's accident was very unfortunate for the home team. Big Chief Borchers is now pitching winning ball for Spo- kane. The Sacramentos have got sacrifice hitting reduced to a science. Everett has yet failed to develop any extraordinary bat- ting tendencies. Roger Connor leads the batting list of the Players Leagna with a record of 381. Little Hugh Nicol, for many years the pride of the St. Louis Browns, and who opened this season with Cincinnati is now with the Pittsburg (N. L ) team. Arlie Latham, the clown of the "profesh" is now captain ing and playing third base for the Cincinnati team. Manager Loftua purchased hie release from Von der Ahe for $2500. "Why are some of the players' caps cut open behind?" asked the occasional patron of the game. "Because they have Bwelled heads," replied thecrank.— Ex. Pete Sweeney rankad seventy. ninth in the batting list of the American Association, with a percentage of 161. As a third baseman he was thirteenth in the list, with S06 per cent. Since Cahill has been made captain of the Stockton team, be seems much impressed with the dignity of the position. His instructions to his players are as amusing as they are ■unique. Hen Moore, who has seen the rise and fall of many teams this season, having been a member of no less than three dis- banded clubs himself is now playing great ball in left field for the Salt Lakes. Hassamer, the captain and short stop of the Portlands, is said to be a great kicker. Umpire McLaughlin has made a succesa in Stockton and Sacramento. Critical audiences in these places, too. Spokane was the first team Whittrock, Harris' new pitcher from St. Louis went in against, and they only sized bim up for nineteen hits. What a great lot of stickers there must be up in that country. The inimitable Monk Cline, whose humorous expressions on the coaching lines when here with Jim Hart's Louisvilles set the audiences in roars of laughter, has recently been released from the Sioux City team. Manager Harris, of the Portland team, has succeeded in disgusting every true lover of base ball. — Seattle Journal. Well! well! what a tremendous charge must have come over the genial Henry. Wonder if we'll ever know him after such a transformation. The Colonel's new men are said to be excellent players. Sammy Shaw, the pitcher, possesses a number of excellent curves, some of which are Eaid to be lantalizingly slow. Joe Cantillian and Danny Sweeney, the midget, are "hangup" fielders and strong hitters. There have been almost as many players by the name of Sweeney seen on local diamonds as Smiths. In the seventies we had Booney Sweeney, then came Charley Sweeney, Pete Sweeney and Tom Sweeney (of the Nationals), and now one of the Colonel's new men rejoices in the name of Danny Sweeney. There is no doubt but that Catcher Vaughn, of the New Yorks, threw a base ball 134 yards, 2£ inches at Buffalo, June 23, but the performance was not protected and does not go on record. Ed Crane's 139 yard throw at Boston in 1881 was similarly treated. The record is John Hatfield's 133 yards, 1 foot, 7X inches made at Brooklyn, October 15, 1872. Hatfield is now a book maker at Washington Park. Chicago. From the far off everglades of Florida comes the following admonition through the columns of the Sporting Life: '•Managers, keep your eyes on Billy Stickney, third baeeman of the Oakland (Cai ) Club". This line, plain and concise, and coming a distance of five thousand miles, must bo very gratifying to the jovial third baseman. Stickney's work this Beason at the difficult corner has been clever, finished and conscientious to a degree. His batting has also been strong and often timely. Manager Finn drew a prize when he got McCarthy. From what we have seen of his work, we feel jaslified in saying he is an elegant pitcher. The little blonde twirlers' style and methods are so different from thoBO employed by moBt pitch- ers, that it is an agreeable change to watch him perform his duties. He has already established himself as a big favorite, and is a drawing card for the 'Friscos. It ia to be hoped that he will continue to do as well as he started out. Dangan now leads the batting list. There is no denying the fact that this player is a great batsman but it must also be admitted that he is a remarkably lucky bitter and were the scratch hits credited to him deducted nis average would be reduced fully twenty per cent. He has a good eye, bow- ever, and strikes at the ball most vioionsly. Seldom are hia hits placed scientifically but being propelled by brute strength they are often within reach of the infielders bot too hot to be successfully met and handled. Among others who rank high in the batting department and who will have a good chance to capture the honors, are Cahill, Koberts, Godar, Fogarty, Stapleton, Ebright, Daley, Shea, Stevens and Han ley. There isn't as much head-tiist eliding 'into second base as there used to te. The reason is well known to members of the profession. A head-first slide ia meat for a good second baseman. He asks nothing better. They are easy to block off. A second baseman will Btand right in the path on a head first slide in such a way that he will prevent him reach- ing the base. He has nothing to fear, for if the runner comes in contract with him it will not be his legs that wiil Buffer, but the ranner's neck or head. With feet-first sliders it is different. The plates hurt like sixty, and no second baseman is looking for the worst of it. There is no attempt at a block when a running comes down to (he base with the iron plates of his shoes pointed for the bag. — Exchange. The following interesting correspondence from Cincinnati to the Sporting News headed "Sold for Five Dollars," ap- peared in a recent issue of that paper: The smiling priest- like face of funny Peek-a-Buo Veach does not show radiantly from the first base corner of the Pittsburg team this trip. Peek has just finished in one of the most remarkable deals und.r the sales system. Peek boaght his rtlease from the Pittsburg Club. He paid rive dollars for it. President O'Neill owed Peek a fiver, and the latter said if he would let bim go to the Sacramento Club he would call it square. President O'Neill said well and good. The laat Eeen of Peek he was on an emigrant train headed for the Occidental State. He had with him nine loaves of bread, ten pounds of ham sausage and a bottle of hard cider. From all reports, the Sacramento management seem .to be making a number of bluffa at the players, which certainly are prolific of no good. The proposed deal whereby some of their best players were to be sacrificed at the altar of Mammon, and which was prevented by several lovera of the game and the Sacramento team, as now composed, by ex- pressing their willingness to lend any necessary financial aid, has been superseded by another equally deleterious proceeding in attempting the reduction of the salary of a certain player. The members of the team stood together as one man and re- fused to see the salaries of any of their fellow players cut down, justly claiming that they were earning all the remuner- ation they received. If the Saorameuto management has injudiciously and unwarrantably signed a high priced team, they are certainly themselves to blame. But with the increasing interest manifested in the game, and the prospect- ive good old crowds, the chances are that Messrs. Ginsberg and Enright will break more than even at the eloBe of the season. A good story, which possesses the additional merit of be- ing absolutely true, is told about Aaron Jacobs, the Apollo of of the ball grounds. Aaron, or "big Jake," as he is familiarly called by his numerous friends, is, as his name indicates, one of the "chosen people" but happily possesses few of the characteristics of that race. He is a tall, handsome and gen- ial fellow, dresses with excellent taste, is liberal in his ideas and with bis cash and consequently it is not a matter of wonderment that he ia extremely popular with the fair sex. Jake is also something of a wrestler, and being an "all round sport" was asked some years ago by Manager Jim Hart if he would umpire the Louisville — Stockton game which was to be played at the Stockton race track. He graciously ac- cepted the invitation and started off well. In the fifth inn- ing, howeveT, the Louisvilles were considerably ahead and Hen Moore, then with Stockton, was at the bat. Beccius pitched Hen a ball just where he wanted it and away it went skimming down toward short. The sphere bounded past White to left field like a Bhot, but the short stop went through the pantomimic motions of picking up and throw- ing the ball, and Dave Foutz at first made believe calching the throw. Jake believing that the play had really been ef- fected shouted "Your out," "Come in." Cook, who was catching, saw the mistake and said "For Gcd's sake, Jake, call the man safe or you'll be mobbed." Acting on the catch- er's instructions Jake timidly informed the jeering crowd that hiB decision was wrong, and the runner was safe. But it is needless to say he never umpired another game. Ho now contents himself "rooting" for the home team. Pete Sweeney evidently has not made a wonderful success with the St. Pauls. The scores of late show that he has fallen off perceptibly in fielding and hitting. This is the way the Sporting Life sizes him up: "Pete Sweeney, who is captaining the team, and playing third, in the estimation of a good many people, is no im- provement over Phillips. He may be a little better hitter, but he certainly is not the fielder that Phillips is. It is doubt- ful it his acquisition has added any great strength to the team.''' The friends of M. J.Kelly, of the Boston Club, of the Flayers' League, have purchased the estate of William J. Neff, on Main Street, South Hingham, Mass., with the in- tention of presenting it to him. The papers were passed on Aug. 2, and two hours afterwards there were carpenters, painters, paper hangers and electric light workmen at work making repairs. The estate contains five or six acres of land under cultivation, and on it there area two and a half story house, stable, outbuildings, etc., in a good Btate of repair. The formal presentation will be made this week. The es- tate is valued at $10,000.— Clipper. The work of Captain Ebright of late has been little better than ordinary. Occasionally he plays a great game, and again he errs on as many chances as he accepts. This would not cause as much unfavorable comment as it doeB, were it not for the fact that the big German appears too painfully conscious of his own abilities! ?) on the diamond. He is a great "flash" player, but behind this is a very perceptible lack of merit. The disgusted glances he throws at his play- ers when they fail to make a play of a difficult ohance, and his apparently overbearing manner is rapidly giving people the impression that he has the "swelled head" and is making him very unpopular. The following are excerpts on the Great American Game of Baseball from "The Umpire," a humorous and critical London journal: "It is an interesting and thoroughly at- tractive game. It is more than that, it is fascinating. It will make the foot ball players smarter. Almost every ball means a smart piece of fielding and often more. It ia Bore to have the effect of brightening the men up. Swift- ness and accuracy ought to be improved wonderfally after a season of baseball. " ' It is a very hard game for. a man who is not an adept at it— harder, than football, because there is more running about in it than ia called for from a goalkeeper. The game requires a good deal of sk 11, especially in throwing; and as for the batting, a man is lucky to hit the ball at all. ' And therein lies the secret of the baseball difficulties, which the American propagators always modestly refrained from dilating upon. The great hindrance in the transplan- tation process is that the game cannot be picked up in an afternoon. The urchins in the street cannot take a bat and a ball and begin straight away, as with cricket, or— to the intense dis- gust of otstiuoted foot passengers — with football. The youthful public know they oan't tackle it. It must be made easier. Is there any reason why the whole volume of cast iron American roles should be taken up and thrown bodily at ns, for us to take it or leave it? Let the inniogs be lengthened— let the Btriker be allowed Bix misses instead of three, or twelve if need be— th9 probability being that he will misB Bine times out of a dozen; and let the pitcher have more latitude, since at first a full half of his balls will be foul balls. Then when tho game is rendered easier— a game for leameiB and amateurs, not for professionals of tho highest degree of expertness— there will be a chance that it may be taken up by our schools and colleges; yea. even our national schools and boarding schools; by our ragged athletes in im- promptu coBtumee in the back streets, as well as no the lawn, in addition to, not in substitution for, our already established games, and profioieucy and popularity will follow by Datum steps. 126 3Ptc fprecte atitl jlportsmaix.

The Vallejos had little difficulty in winning this game. Billy Incell, at one time California's greatest twirler, went | up with the Railroaders, but the heavy biting Marines found it an easy task to solve his curves.and the ex-Haverly pitcher was touched up for ten safeties. Stanley caught him well, but eight errors were distributed among the other members of the team, and these greatly aided the Vallejos in their ran getting. Baltz pitched another remarkable game, allow- ing but three hits and disposing of twelve men on strikes. Farrell at the receiving end played elegantly.but the in and out Held support was not up to the standard. Maguire led in the hitting, base running and run making. Gene Foster had a sensational catch in left field which was a particular feature of the game. The work of the catchers, Baltz's pitch- ing and the fielding ofMurdock, Stanford, Maquire, Bradley, Dunn and Dean was also commendable.

Eighteen young aspirants for honors on the diamond gave an exhibition of their temper as well as their ability to play ball, and we believe were fully justified in the former. Col. Thomas P. Robinson again essayed to umpire the game, and again made a most complete "frost." The Giants suffered more than the Sports however, from his erroneous decisions, and this in a measure goes to explain their defeat. Howell was not hit hard but the Sports hits were luckily placed, and tliis, aided by the few errors of the Giants and the "two-year- olds" wildnessgave them their runs. McDonald, who emerged from a long retirement, seemed benefited by his vacation, beiDg steadier than ever before, and having tremendous speed. Billy Farrell played a good second for the Finks and also did some great base running. Frank Delmas and Strand hit well as usual, and the fielding of L Delmas, Till- sod, Geishaker, Philpot and Buckley, together with the backstop work of B.lliDgs and L eland were commendable and pleasant features of the contest.

In this game the Reports are credited with two hits while the Santa Rosas have twelve, and as the score resulted nine to eight in favor of the News Circulators it goes without saying that the Sonoma boys muse have played a woefully wretched game. The Reports fignre conspicuously in the error column also, but not to the alarming extent of Grace's men. Monet was hit freely but the home team were as Btu- pid running bases as in fielding, and hard hitting unless supplemented by judicious coaching wont win games. Cal- len waB in great form himself but his work, excellent as it was. could not offset the miserable exhibition of the infield. Arlett and Kelly had a very off day making nine errors be- tween them. When the Santa Rosas went to bat in their last half of the ninth the visitors were six inns ahead. With two men out, through some lucky hitting and aided by poor throwing on the part of the Reports, tbey got five men over the plate, almost tying the score. Pace made his re-appear- ance with the team and canght a good game besides being exceptionally strong at tbe bat. Cook, Gimmel and Arlett also did hard work in the same department. In the fielding Sharp, Thompson, Mclntyre, Green, Reilly, Gimmel, Mc Carthy and Stulz did the best service.

Monet is the best hitting pitcher in the league. Alec Bradley continues his good work at second. Stanley caught Incell in fine shape last Sunday. The Sports are just commencing to play their hand. Stanford is guarding first base well for the Marines. Jimmy English is doing good box work for Merced. Pitcher Philpot is also a "bang up" second baseman. Dick Nagle is catching a finished game for the Merceds. Jim Coughliu is playing a line short for the Burlingtons. The Railroaders have a good first baseman in Mart Flem- ing. The Marines have beeu playing pennant winning ball of late. Frank Delmas has been hitting the sphere hard and safely lately. Gene Broderick made a most sensational baokward oatoh last Sunday. Dan Armbuster has severed his connection with the Fresno team. The Burlingtons loBt a good man when catcher Frank Mnl- vey resigned. The Reports, in Mclntyre, Sharp and Hearty, hava a great hitting outfield The M. J. Flavins are in the Bwim for the season, and challenge all comers. Billings, who had quite a lay off from catching, was a power behind the bat in last Sunday's game. Jack Lewis is but slowly convalescing. The Aliens greatly miss him as he is one of their heaviest stickers, George Sharp didn't get in his customary number of hits at Santa Rosa, Sunday. What's the matter George? The race for the pennant 1b becoming more and more in- teresting, but no team has a "lead pipe cinch" on the "rag" yet. The Sinta Rosa's are a great hitting team at home, but in fielding they are "way off," both on their own grounds and abroad. A number of the Racquet Social Club of which Tom Pow- ers and Dave Creamer are members, accompanied the Reports to Santa Rosa, Sunday. Little Howell, the "two-year-old," was rather fraations last Sunday, for after giving a man baBe on balls he advanced aim to second, third and home on three successive wild pitches. Jack Lohman, Pete's brother, is a fine pitcher, and will soon be seen in the bos for the Aliens. With Philpot, Mo- Donald and Lohman, Keller is well supplied with twirling talent. George Kelly, who did good work the fore part of the sea- son, at short and third base for the Stocktons, is now in Oakland, unsigned. Kelly would be a great pick-up for some of the amateur teams. Billy Kennedy, a most promising youngster, who has de- monstrated the fact that he is as clever in all departments of the game as many of his seniors, requested hiB release from the Burlingtons, and was immediately signed by the Allen management. Leland, the Los Angeles player, is doing good service for Keller. He is quite a catcher, being a good receiver and accurate thrower, although a little slow. With the bat he has been fairly successful and altogether ia a good find for the Sports. Manager Grace thinks he ought to get credit in the record for the protested Report — Santa Rosa game of July 7th, but the Directors of the League, consisting of Messrs. Keller, Elmquist, Warren, Grace, Sheridan and Ashman, haven't passed on that game yet. It would be well that President Gage call a meeting and have the matter definitely settled. The Will & Finck team, also known as the Young Giants, were formerly the Keane Bros , and previous to that, the old Nationals. Of the original team, Tillson, Leveque, Frank and Lonny Delmas, and Billy Farrell have played together almost continuously for five years, and have been four years under the management of Frank W. Warren. Warren was also at one time left fielder for the Keane Bros. team. Billy Hulen has returned from Port Townsend and will again have a berth with bis old team — the Santa Rosas. Hulen is a prime favorite, and being a great infielder as well as a fine sticker, will greatly strengthen that team. It is quite possible that he will be placed at short as he is in every re- spect a superior man to Arlett. The latter will probably be retained as utility man. With Kelly, Reilly, Hnlen and Stulz on tbe infield, Gimmel, Cook and McCarthy outfield, Callen pitcher, Pace and Utt catchers, and Arlett ail round man, the Santa Rosa's are stronger than ever. The Santa Rosa management have a great man in Reilly. Josh is a "star" among amateurs, and if given a fair show, would have done much better with the professionals. Sec- ond base is really his position, and in which he has few superiors. He covers a big territory, is as agile as Reitz in touching a man, and with an active short stop can worry the life out of a base runner who has safely reached second. Reilly is also a strong, precise thrower, excellent hitter, dar- ing and rapid base runner, and altogether a most capable and brainy player.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes. EDITED FI ARPHIPPD3. SUMMARY. The three leading clabs of the P. C. A. A. A. held oross country tuns on Sunday last and the amateur athletes have been taking it easy ever since. The Oarsmen are practicing hard for the Admission Day regatta and the wheelmen are particularly training for their comiDg road race. The cricketers and swimmers are not idle and it is evident that we are on the eve of a prosperous sporting season. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The amateurs are now thoroughly convinced that Skillman jb a dandy. If such, good men continue to visit San Francisco all her old time athletes will speedily retire. With the assistance of a good hammer man the Olympic Clnb would stand an excellent chance of winning the club championship of the United States. A. C. Snow of the Alameda Olympic Club should keep up practice, for his grand showing on Sanday last at the cross country run proved that he is a long distance runner of no ordinary ability. A middle distBnce race between Sutton of the U. C. and Scott of the 0 A, C. would prove highly interesting. Douglas B. Crane has just returned from the country. Had he been able to take part in his clubs run on Sunday last he would certainly have stood a eood show for one of the prizes. Phil Moody of the Alpine Club recently met with an ac- cident which necessitates his giving up training for the pres- ent. He expectB to be all right, however, for the Sacramento peeling. Jim Corbett's recent appearance in the role of an actor will not add any more lustre to his already well known name. The less popularity of this kind the better for a man of Mr. Corbetts standing. Ex nihilo nihil fit. It is almost a certainty that William Greer Harrison will once more be elected to the presidency of the Olympic Club. When Mr Harrison resigned some months ago we prophe- sied that the Olympic Club would sadly feel his loss and it is needless to say that our predictions have been fulfilled to the letter. The present incumbent while being a good man in his wav, was never the equal of William Greer Harrison. It would be hard to find a more suitable person and the few bigoted members whose conduct caused Mr. Harrison to re- sign will we feel confident keep in the back ground in future for indifferent as they may seem their personal pride will prompt them to respect a gentleman who has at all times worked hard in the interest of the club of which they pride themselves as being members. Since Mr. Harrison re- signed the office of President nothing to amount to anything has been done in behalf of the new building but just as soon as he takes office again he will find no difficulty in taking it up where he left off for the members at the present time are only too anxious to have bim back that he may proceed with the good work. It ia amusing to watch some of the Olympic boys who took part in last Sunday's run from San Mateo, try to walk straight. Scott, Cooley and McArthur suffered terribly from blistered feet, and the chances are that the next run will not be quite so long. The novices had the best time, for they made a pace to suit themselves. The young ladies of Alameda think that Johnny Garrison is a "darling11 for his kindness and unselfishness in remain- ing behind the other runners on Sunday to explain the na- ture of the run to them. The slow manner in which medals are distributed to win- ners by athletic clubs on the Pacific Coast, is certainly a dis- grace. In May, the Alpine Club held games at the Bay Dis- trict track. During the same month the P. C. A. A. A. held its championship meeting, and on July 4th, the Olym- pic Club held a field day. The prizes have never been dis- tributed for any of these games, and the athletes who have worked hard to win the medals, must wait patiently and silently until the clubs see fit to present them. There is no reason why clubs on the Pacific Coast should not follow an example of the leading English and Irish athletic clubs, by presenting the prizes to the winners on the same day that tbey are won. At the Crewe Alexander (England) sports, which were held last month, a new departure was made, and the athletes received their prizes at the end of each event, thus allowing visiting athletes a chance to leave in time to catch their trains. Why should not something like this be dorocih'3an Francisco? The^Alameda correspondent of the Daily Examiner is not a very good hand at guessing. In reporting the cross coun- try run of the Alpine and Alameda Olympic Clubs last Sun- day he asserted that the run was enjoyed bv only ten mem- bers, that it was to Mills Seminary, and that the distance, eight miles was made in forty minutes. Here is a fallacy. The run was not in the direction of Mills Seninary. The distance was four and not eight miles, and the number of starters was more than twice ten. Evan Lewis and D. S. McLeod have signed articles for a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match. The nature of the match is that Lewis is to throw McLeod three times in one hour. Besides & bet of §400, the winner is to receive 75 per cent, of the gate receipts after necessary expenses have been paid. Two hundred and fifty dollars a side has already been deposited as a forfeit, and when a suitable hall is secured, the stake holder will name the date on which the match will take place. Lewis will begin training next week. A petition which was signed by a large number of the Olympic Clnb members, reads as follows: "We, the under- signed, members of the Olympic Club, in view of the coming annual election in our club, feeling that William Greer Har- rison, onr former president, is the proper person to fill the office of president of the club, and recognizing that it would be for the best interest of the club to own and occupy its own home, and also recognizing Mr. Harrison's executive ability as evidenced by the growth of the olub during his pres- idency from 300 to 1,500 members, hereby request Mr. Har- rison to permit himself to be placed in nomination for the office of president of the olub, and pledge to him our votes and cordial support." We are in receipt of the following communication from Mr. W. A. Scott, President P. 0. A. A. A.: Athletic Games at the Fair of the State Board of Agri- culture, Sacramento, Cal, Sept. 17, 1890, 10 a. m., under the au- spices of the Pacifio Coast Amateur Athletic Association. The programme will be as fellows, open to members of the olubs of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association: 100 yard inn, handicap; 220 yard run, handicap; 440 yard run, scratch; 880 yard run, Bcratch; 2 mile run, handicap; 1 mile walk, handicap; 120 yard hurdle race (10 hurdleB, 3ft 6in. high), handicap; 50 yard run, scratch; 220 yard run, handicap, open only to members of Sacramento Athletic Club.

Gold Medal to first, and Silver Medal to Becond, in each event. Each entry must be accompanied by 50 cents, which will be returned to starters, and must state contestant's full name and club, events which he desires to enter for (with 50 cents for each), date, place and result of three last performances, with name of scratchman and result of eaoh — whether 1st, 2d, 3J, 4th or unplaced. If contestant haB never before com- peted, simply specify 'Novice." Furnishing false or mislead- ing information will subject entry to rejection. Any event which does not properly till will be struck out. Tickets to Sacramento and return will be furnished to competitors from San Francisco, Oakland, Sin Jose, Berke- ley, Alameda and vicinity. Competitors must leave San Francisco on the afternoon or eveniDg of September 16th. The games and all arrangements therefor will be under the management of Walter A. Scott, Care O. A C, 120 O'Farrell stree', S. F. Walter G. Hegeman, who, foi many years was a prominent member of the old Williamsburg Athletic Clab, and who subeequen'ly did good service as official handicapper suc- cessively of the now defunct National Association of Ama- teur Athletic Union, died at his home in Brooklyn, L I., on MonJay night, July 28. His death was the result of an in- jury received accidentally while discharging his duties at the Harper Bros, pub ishing house in New Yorfi which produced a cancer at the base of the brain, from which he had been a patient sufferer for a year or more. His death had been ex- pected for some time, but that fact did not tend to lighten the sorrow which the knowledge of his demise caused in the hearts of many athletes who had been his intimateB during life. The funeral services were held on Wednesday evening, many of those who bad been bis warm friends being present. The funeral took place on the following day in private, the interment being in Cyprus Hills Cemetery. A meeting of the Board of Managers of the Amateur Athle- tic Union was held in New York City on Saturday night, Aug. 2, the following being present; W. H. McMillan, Hwry Perry, W. B. CurtiB, J. E. Sullivan, J. Harder, F. W. Jan- sen, G. B. Morrison and C. F. Matthewson. The most im- portant business transacted was the disposal of the long agi- tated Pat Cahill matter by the adoption of the following: In view of the facts submitted to this Board by its different com- mittees in wbat ts known as the "Cahill case" Resolved, That this I otrd approves the action originally taken by its Championship Committee in refusing the entry of Patrick OahiU for the boxiDg and wrestling championship meeting of 1889; as being abundantly justified by the statements made to such committee and included in its report. Resolved, That this Board expresses its regret that the efforts of its committee to determine the truth of the charges affecting the ama- teur standiog of said Cahill have been defeated by the refusal of im- portant witnesses to appear and testify, thus leaving the charge? not proven; but in view of the report received this evening, and in the the absence of direct eviderce tending to sustain the charges, the suspension oj said Patrick Cahill is hereby removed. Tbe board received a communication from Malcolm W. Ford, containing an exhaustive answer to the specilic charg- es made against him by tbe Games Committee of the Indoor Championship Committee. The athlete awaited the action of the committee in the reading room of the hotel and was there informed by Mr. Matthewson of the result of the board's deliberations, which was that the matter be referred to the Ford committee. It was decided to give prizes to the first, second and third teams in the tug of war competition at the championship games at Washington, and to hold a la- crosse championship, the schedule committee being empow- ered to diaw up a schedule of games. The general roles governing pole vaulting were amended to prevent contes- tants from using the poles of other 'competitors, except with the owners' consent. The application of the Jersey City Amateur League for the Union to register their games, to be held on Sunday, Aug, 10, was denied, the board not deeming it a wise policy to endorse games held on the Sabbath where competition between members of different clubs are permit- ted, and sustaining tha action taken by the Schedule Com- mittee. THE WHEELMEN. At Charter Oak Park (Hartford, Conn.) on Aog. 7 H E Laurie, the English safety rider, and W S Cambell of the New York Athletic Club made a private trial of one mile, the time being 2m 2S'.s. The best American amateur record is 2m 35 2-5s for an ordinary and 2m 41}s for a safety. The Englishs record for both safety and ordinary have! recently been reduced to a mile, so that the time credited to Laurie ac'l Campbell is the fastest ever accomplished on any form of cycle. The Bay City Wheelmen are going to elect their permanent directors on Monday evening. The Bay City Wheelmen are incorporated. The articles of incorporation are after the plan of the Olmypio Club arti- cles. Two young English amateurs who are in this city at the present time may take part in the coming road race. Some of the local men who have seen them ride say that unless heavily handicapped they will have a walk over. Lee, who recently broke the record to San Jose intends going in the road race, and he stands a very good chance of winning one of the prizes. Several prizes will be giyen for the road raoe including, bicycle suits, medals, etc. The San Jose people are ready to bet their last cent on Julius Smith. Hickenbotham and Southworth of Stockton will ride, and as they are both in fine condition there is no telling what may be tbe reBult. Ives of Oakland is another very promising candidate for first place. It is expected that there will be from twenty-6ve to thirty entrieB from San Franoisco. Tbe total number of entries ib likely to reach sixty or Beventy. Fred Rubs Cook will allot the handicaps which will be by time. The Oakland Bicycle Clnb will not have any reyresenta- tives. Alameda will be well up at tbe finish. It will Bend in a large number of entries, comprising moBt of the crack riders. It is almost an assumed fact that the record of 1 hour 30 minutes will be broken by more than one man. The entry lists are now open with Dr. T. L. Hill, Odd Fel- lows Building. Sanford Plummer, 17 Franklin St., or Tuos. H. Doane, 401 Sansome Street. The entry fee, $1, must accompany entry blank. George Wetmore will ride his Safety, and will probably b^ placed at scratch. H. A. Matthews cannot spare time lo train, and will not be able to compete. IN THE SCRF. The warm weather continues in Alameda, and the Terrace baths is crowded daily. Mr. Fisher, the manager, will give a swimming race for Native Sons on the 8th of September in connection with the celebration of Admission Day. He is having two fine medals made for the winners of first and second placeB. Besides this race there will be other attract- ions. It is probable that the race for Native Sons will be won by one of the membtrs of the Pacific Stfinming Club. THE GAME OF CRICKET. Crioket is still holding sway in Alameda, and mauy new players have lately been developed. Tbe game of cricket which was played at the West-end Grounds last Saturday afternoon was the best one played so far this season. The match began at 2 o'clock and the stumps were drawn at 6 o'clock. The game was drawn in favor of tbe Pacifies with a score of So to 71 made by the All Comers. The following is the names of the plavers: Pacifies— Howard, G. Goeway, W. J. Hansen, E. Buckleton, H. J. Nelse, J. J. Theobald.H. Hatterworth, J. S. Purdy, D. Keith, C. B. Hill, G. Adam, H. Austin and Sinclair. All Comers — Vernon, Warren, Hodd, Rodgers, Newton, Robertson, Bryan, Webster, Dreage, Sheppard, Coldwell, Neila, Trulong, Stopley. A practice game was played on Sunday which attracted quite a large audience. The Bolsoni team made 36 runs while Robertson's made 50, thus winning the game. The Alpine cricket team is trying to arraDge a match game with some of the Alameda clubs to be played at Central Park some Saturday afternoon. The talked of trip of an All American team to England next year seems to be taking definite shape. Ernest H. Crowhurst, cricket editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer, is now on his way to England as America's representative, hav- ing sailed Saturday, August 2nd, on the TJmbria, which is due at Liverpool, August 10th. Mr. Crowhurst will have ample time to reach London, where the secretaries of the leading county cricket clubs will meet the next day. Mr. Crow hurst carries with him letters of introduction from offi- cers of tbe Philadelphia cricket clubs and committees, and also from the most prominent cricketers of Philadelphia and New York City. An outline of the proposed tour shows that the team will be away all of next season. Mr. Crowhurst has been instructed to arrange a full series of matches such as is now being played by the Australians. This includes three matches with All England, two with the Gentlemen of England, two with the Players of England, two each with the North and South of England and with the Marvlebone Club, and one each with the counties of Yorkshire, Notting- ham, Surry, Gloucester, Middlesex, Sussex. Kent and Lan- cashire and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Matches will also be played with the Gentlemen of Ireland and Scotland The initial match will probably be played with Lord Sheffield's eleven at his beautiful grounds, about forty miles from London, and then three or four games will be arranged with second class counties before England's strongest teams are met. The tour so far as arranged will occupy about twenty weeks. The Ail America team will probable sail from New York about April 10th, and will return hnme the last of September. The team which will represent All America has not yet been chosen, and probably will not be uDtil the Fall matches have been played. Players to the number of twenty have, however, been consulted, and each and every one of them has not only heartily endorsed the scheme, but have said that they will go if they are selected. As Philadelphia is the cricket centre of this country a majority of the team will come from that city, and the best men in other cities will be obtained. The team will probably number sixteen or seventeen, and will include two or three crack professionals. AT THE OARS. Julius Hartman of the Alameda Boat Club will enter in the Bingle scull race at the coming regatta. The Alameda Brass Band will visit the boat house of the Alameda Boat Clab to-morrow afternoon, where a clam chow- der feast will I e prepared for the visitors. The very generouB prizes offered by the Native Sons Com- mittee are causing the oarsmen to train assiduously for tbe coming regatta, and it is very easy to see that the races will all be well filled. The Regatta Committee, in conjunction with representa- tives from the ro- iog clubs, will hold ameetingat the Grand Hotel to morrow morning at 11 o'clock, whenit will be finally decided where the regatta is to be held. Should the Harbor Commissioners have the lumber scows removed, there would be a clear straightway course for a mile and a half, but as the races will not be more than two miles, everybody will have an excellent chance to see some good sport. Fast time and close finishes may be expected in all the events. Tbe following prominent scullers of tbe Ariel Boat-Chib began training on Monday, August 11th: HeDry Peterson, Charles Peterson and Billy Growney for the professional sin- gles; John Muirhead and young Creagh for tbe amatenr sin- gles the present champion amateur barge crew composed of Henry Withkopp, stroke; J. J. Larkey, 2; W. Dunphy, 3: George W. Phelan, bow, and Captain Andy Carroll, coxwain; Henry Tank, substitute. The professional crew will be made up with Leo Ozer, Btroke; Henry Peterson, 2; T. Tennison, 3; Charles Peter- sou, bow;W. H. Growney, substitute. There will be a contest to morrow between young Nieland of the Ariels and Leo Heringhi of the Lurline Club in Whitehall boats, around Mission Rock, for a box of cigars. ,'We will all smoke." The Secretary of tbe Pacific Rowing Association is in re- ceipt of a communication from Secretary Smith of the Agricultural Society at Sacramento, informing bim that aa the society depended on gate receipts and could not guarantee any oa&h puree to be rowed for he could not include a regatta on tbe list of attractions.

The American horse show held at Chicago last year was a phenomenal success, and attracted the attention of breeders from all over the United States. During the first week of the horse show which will be given this year, P. J. Berry & Co. will hold thair Becond Breeders' Great Combination Sale at the Union Stock Yards, No- vember 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. The stock will con- sist of standard bred horses of the highest order, consist- ing of trotters, pacers and gentlemen's roadsters, saddle horses, carriage teams, etc. The combination sales held in Chicago last fall and early this spring have stamped the fact indelibly that the Like City has a population in and around it, who are willing to pay good prices for good animals, and the Berry & Co.'s sale was one of the most successful held there in many years. It iB only reasonable to suppose that their second annual sale will be equally successful. If there be any breeders in this State who desire tc dispose of any of their horses, this will ba a favorable opportunity for them to send on their surplus stock, entry blanks for which will be sent out by Berry & Co., on making application to them. Death of Hon. Jas. White. No well regulated ranch or farm is complete without Dar- bys Prophylactic Fluid. The distinguished gentleman whose name heads this article, expired July 13th at his home near Camden in New South "Wales. Mr. "White was a type of what one might expect of the fine old English gentleman of the ^ast century, improved and broadened by a life time pent in the Australian Colonies. The malady which removed him was heart disease, with which he had been so long threatened that he has not witnessed any of his horses perform in three years. Of course he had vast wealth at his disposal and his great means enabled him to purchase in England, mares of the highest qual- ity, from which he bred such noted flyers as Carlyon, Cranbrook, Volley, Rudolph, and last but not least, Abercorn, who has been pronounced by most California turfmen who have Been him, the truest formed horse they ever beheld. Mr. "White's fame is perennial, and while his career upon the turf was marked with certain eccentricities, he was a man who will be better known by the void he has left in death than by the exalted sta- tion he filled in life. As a husband and father, he was an exemplary citizen of any country; as a sportsman, a keen, plucky and adventurous speculator, his motto be- jDg always "first if with honor"; as a legislator, his vote was always cast in favor of tbo greatest good tj the greatest Dumber; and he will be remembeied by his constituents as a conscientious public servant. The death of such a gentleman at such a time, when the Australasian turf bids fair to be overrun by unscrupu- lous bookmakers and avaricious speculators hesitating at nothing, can only be regarded as a public misfor- tune. He was a man who should have died hereafter. Classification of Thoroughbreds. It ib something close upon twenty years since the United States began the classification of thoroughbred horses for races, with their best time record as a basis of computation. In Australia where thoroughbred sires are the rule and trotters the exception, a like procedure had long since become necessary to enable breeders of thoroughbreds to realize upon their undersized horses. They are now classed as follows: Ponies — All under 14 hands. Purses are given for two classes, one under 13 hands and the other over 13 and under 14 hands. Galloways — Anything over 14 hands and under 15 hands. Horses —Anything above 15 hands. Everywhere except at Eandwick, Plemington and Caulefield, prizes are given for these classes, except at their great semi-annual meetings. Canterbury Park- Eose Mill, "Warwick Farm and Kogarah, all have their "pony dayB" and the betting is very Bpirited. Capt- Merry, who has just returned from that side of the world, says that one of the most perfectly formed horses he ever saw is an entire galloway owned by Charles T. Roberts. The horse is six years old, 14 hands, 3 inches in height, and reminded the veteran steamboatman very much of True Blue. His barrel was very long and Bplendidly rounded, so that his girth was over 70 inches- His legs were fiat, with extremely large hocks and knees, and his back was a miniature of such turf kings as Mal- ua and Nordenfelt. You often hear a man say, ""Well, I sold that colt just because he is too small and can't carry his weight.'' Now, if there were a classification according to size, such as prevails in the South Continent, Buch complaints would seldom be heard. In programmes like those of Brighton Beach, Linden, Guttenberg and Clifton there should be a pony race and a galloway race at least two days in each week, if not more frequently; and a style of horses that have now no racing value whatever would soon creep up to good and profitable prices. "We commend a respectful consideration of this ques- tion to the club3 and associations governing the courses above named. It would make a market for a class of horses that can now hardly be given away; and after their racing careers were ended, the mares of this class would be available for breeding trotters. It is true that pony racing in the colonies has so far been attended with a great deal of jobbery, but that also has applied with no little force to the racing of horses over fifteen hands high, both in Australia and America. If purses could be had for undersized horses to contest for, there would be more profit in the maintenance of thoroughbred breeding farms. One more to be Added. Owing to an oversight of the proof reader, the entry of L. Villegia in the Breeder and Sportsman Futurity Stake waB omitted from the list published last week and those who are interested and have saved the list for fut. ure reference, should add the following: L. Villegia, bay filly Sidka, by Sidney, dam May by John Nelson Jr. We are sorry the mistake occurred and hasten to correct it. The Quincy Meeting. At last the racing season has fairly opened in Cali- fornia, the entry lists having been large at all plac- es, which have already closed; but there are many own- ers throughout the State who have been diffident about entering in both the lower circuit and the northern cir- cuit, feeling that ^there were so many good hortes out this year that whatever they might own would stand but little chance against the cracks; still this class of owners and breeders are just as anxious to get records for their horses as any other class, and feeling that thit is true we would suggest that those who have as yet made no entries and are desirous of getting records, that they scan over the advertisement in this issue of the 11th District Agricultural Association which will be held at Quincy, Plumas County, ^commencing Septem- ber 22nd and continuing six days. Trotting, pacing and running races are well assorted throughout the pro- gramme, there being thirty different events altogether, and as the District is a rich one in fruit, cereals and minerals, in addition to which the climate is of the very best, there should not only be entrieB enough to please the Directors but the attendance on the different days of the meeting should be larger than ever before. There is no more pleasant trip to be made in this State than from the Sacramento Valley to the capitol of Plumas County, the beautiful scenery amply repaying one for the trouble taken in the journey. As entries will close on next "Wednesday, August 20;h, it behooves all those who are desirous of sending in their nominations to make entries immediately. The New Rules For Records. The committee appointed by the National Trotting Horse Breeders' Association have adopted the following Bet of roles under which a horse may get a record, and it will save end- less bother if breeders will live up to the new rules: I. No performance shall be accepted as a record for regis- tration purposes unless it be made under the control of the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders at its regu- lar meeting, or at a regular meeting of a reputable association in membership and good standing with the American Trot- ting Association or the National Trotting Association. II. The phrase "regular meeting" is here used as defining a meeting where the executive officers of the association or track exercise direct, personal supervision and control, and where purses or stakes, or both purses and stakes, have been regularly opened and duly advertised for entries therein. III. No performance made singly and against time shall be admitted, except as hereinafter provided. All performances made on short [or lapped] tracks will be rejected. IV. Stakes may be opened at any regular meeting as above defined for all animals seeking to enter the 2:30 list, and shall be designated the "Standard Stakes," terms of entrance to which shall be determined by the association, but in no case shall a Iobb entrance fee than ten dollars be charged. Entries to the "Standard Stakes" shall close at such time as the association may determine, not later than 11 o'clock p. m. the day before the race is to be trotted. V. The officers of such association shall divide the entries into groups of three, as near as possible, never placing more than four nor leBs than two horses in a group, and never two unless the entries cannot be otherwise divided. These groups will be designated as "Division No. 1," "Division No. 2," etc. The entrance money will constitute the stake (unless money is added by the association), and shall be divided into as many parts as there are divisions; fifty per cent, to go to the horse making the fastest time in his "division," and the remaining fi'ty per cent, of the entrance money to the asso- ciation. If 2:30 or better is not made, the entire "division" of the stake reverts to the association. VI. Each "Division" shall be started separately and trotted strictly according to rule. The winning horse at the conclu- sion of the first heat shall be sent to the stable, provided bis time 1b 2:30 or better, and so on until the "Division" is com- pleted, If said time is not made in the first heat, all horses not distanced or ruled out may start for the second beat; but if 2:30 or better is not made in the second heat, then all horses competing in such heats must be sent to the stable. Time made in each heat shall constitute a record for registra- tion. In referring to the new rules, J. H. Wallace has the follow- ing to say: At last the breeders have acted and we have the result in the foregoing regulations that will govern all performances where animals seek to enter or succeed in entering the 2:30 list for the first time. There are some points in these "regu- lations" that may be emphasized. 1. All performances must be made od tracks in member- ship and good standing with the American or National Trot- ting Associations. No more records accepted from little county fairs. 2. No more performances will be acoepted from speoial meetings, called for the mere purpose of giving some horse or horses a record. They must be made at "regular meetings," and these meetings are well-rlefined in the second regulation. 3. It will be observed that these regulations apply to "matches." bo called, as well as other performances. We will have no more nice little private parties all fixed up for the purpose of obtaining records under the guise of "matches." 1890 %\it greater and j^ptrrisraati. 129 •t. In the third regulation it will be observed that we have bracketed the words "or lapped." On these words there is not a complete agreement, and there is no time now to wait for the perfecting of this provision. The safe way will be for all to keep away from lapped tracks, whatever the final action may be. 5. The schedules dividing the contestants into gronps and determining the methods of the performances are so plain and Specific as not to require further explanation. It will be observed that the only case in which an animal goes alone is when he is the last one in a group, and has already trotlei two heats agaiust other horses. These regulations were made to be observed and enforced, and it all breeders will study tbeir provisions and require- ments carefully they will save themselves from many disap. pointments. The two leading fact3 are that the 2:30 list must be entered in an ho Test contest againBt other horses, and it must be done at a regular meeting where all the world can see it. ♦ Sam Gamble's Answer. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I notice in your last issue. August 9th, an editorial headed ""Who Has Made the Mistake?" The question is easily answered. It was the late manager of the Bay District Track, whose name for the moment I cannot recollect; since the race alluded to, the gentleman has died, but no doubt you will know the gentle. man referred to. Quite a number of weeks ago he wrote me a letter in which the information wa3 given that a purse would be trotted for on July 12tb, for horses that had never beaten 2;28 and mentioned the fact that he understood that I wiBbed (O trot a mare for the purpose of giving her a record; he went on to say that if such were the case and I had an animal to eater, he hoped lhat I would send him at my earliest con- venience the name and pedigree iu full, all of which I did at once, naming bay mare Winoaby Electioneer, 1st dam Wino- na by Almont, 2nd dam Dolly by Hambrino Chief. This mare I started in a race on July 12 tb, and won the first heat in 2:41, the time being so slow that I paid no particular at tention to the announcement made from the stand, and was not aware until the nest day when I noli ed the report of the races in the daily papers that the mare's name had been given as Wamba. As Winoa failed to secure a mark entit- ling her to a place in the 2:30 list, I said to myself, if the mare comes around all right I will rectify this error the nest time I start her, but I now find that it will be impossible to do so, as she has given way in her left hind ankle, and is fast growing worse. I had to let up on her from all fast work end didn't suppose that the mistake in ths name would be noticed. However, in your issue ot July 19th, my atten. lion was called to an item under the heading of "Turf and Track," which stated that I would make another attempt to (live "Wamba a record better than 2:30. It now occurred to me that it was high time that this mistake in the name should be rectified, so I wrote you a letter explaining how I thought the change in names had occurred, and a short his- tory of the mare's work; upon second thought I deemed it best not to send you the letter at the time, bnt which, how- ever, I now enclose. My reason for not sending it being that the public would think that I was making an apology for bad management, for it is well known that when some men are behind in a race the spectators are usually in the habit of thinking that bad management is solely the cause of losing the race. Hoping that this letter will explain the mistake and how it occurred, 1 am Bir, yours respectfully, Sam Gamble. [We can readily understand that the mistake in the name of the mare occurred at the hands of Mr. HenBill, who was not familiar with the pedigrees of the horses which started in the race that day. "We have also received from Mr. Gamble jhe letter which he wrote dated July 23rd, giving a history of the mare and also the fact that her name was Winoa. Ai Bhe is a full sister te/tvamba, ^r- Green who now owns that mare will readily understand how the mistake has occurred. —Ed.] ^ The Watch, on the Training Ground- occasional "burst of heels" up to three-quarters of a mile, and he has won more races iu proportion to the number of starts than any other trainer in the Colonies during the last five years". *'Do you attribute this wholly to his system of training?" was asked. '"Not altogether," replied the Captain, "the truth of the matter is that Tom Fayten has won a great many races because he never runs except to win, while other men, hav- ing horses nearly or quite as good, have been pulling them through a long seasnn in the hope of getting light weights on them for the great fall handioaps; nevertheless I liked his system of working horses better than any man I ever saw. The only horse which he lamed during my past visit to tbe Colonies was Titan, and his body was so enormous in proportion to bis legs that the only wonder is that he did not get lame before. Abercorn retired with four sound legs after four very severe campaigns in which he assumed the heavi- est weights and defeated all the best horses of his day. His injury consists of a wrench in the back, and just when it was sustained nobody knows. On the other hand I saw a dozan good horses crippled by several trial tests to the watch dur ing April and May, and I was thereby enabled to secure sev- eral bargains for breeding purposes. I think these bar- gains will always be had as long as these same individuals follow the avocation of training horses." There may be more in this than appears on the Burface. The gentleman just quoted is not a professional trainer, but he is a man who is always observant and remembers what he sees. The question is, whether the great many valuable horses now broken down, might not have been saved to the turf had there been less frequent resorting to the time test. The systems of training and developing a race horBe differ as widely in America from those in vogue in Australia and England, as do costumes and manners of the several peoples. In England a trial between horses is generally effected by giving the novice a few pounds less and the veteran trial horse a few pounds over his entitled weight for age. The use of the watch is almost entirely ignored. In America the watch means almost everything, while in Australia an inter- mediate course is sought between the American and English systems of trials. Capt. Merry, who has recently returned from the Australian Colonies was speaking on this subject the other day, and said that he had never met a man whose training pleased him as much as Mr. Thos. Payten, who has had charge of the horses of the late Bon. Jas. White for the past seven years. "As the race meetings approach, the col- umns of the Sydney and Melbocrue papers are frequently 611ed with rumors of reparts of phenomenal trials executed by horses in the hands of trainers, but I have never heard of any sensational trials being performed by Trident, Abercorn, Carlyon, Volley or Cranbrook. As nearly as I conld find out, Payten never gives a horse that has once p&rformed creditably iu public, a second trial run in his shoes over the distance covered by the prospective race. He feeds his horses heartily, gives them plenty of Blow work with an The ComiDgr Petaluma Pair. List of Entries for Ihe Races Duriug the Fail Meeting:.

Now when he starts off he goes very lame for a few blocks but soon gets all right, but if I stand him for 6f- leen or twenty minutes he will start off* as lame as ever. He appears not to bend the hock joint when goiog very lame. Is it spavin and should I use Kendal's spavin cure? Answer. — Your hcrse has got spavin. Kendal's spavin cure, like all stimulating aDplications is good for it, but I should recommend ihe actual cautery, (that is tiring the part with a hot iron) and two or three months rest. The younger the horse is, the better are the chances for getting rid of the lameness. X. I have a two year old colt sick, with the following symp- toms He is off his feed The neck is stiff and swollen," and the glands between tbe jaws have become enlarged and they burst in one place to-day and discharged a good deal of mat- ter. There is also a great deal of stuff coming from the nos- trils, and he makes a noise like snoring when breathiDg. His hair stands on end and he looks very sick. What is wrong with him and what do yon recommend me to do for him? Answer. — Your colt has got strangles. Put him in a com- fortable box stall if convenient. Clothe him warmly, and keep up his strength with soft nourishing food, such as lin- seed gruel, oat meal gruel, bran mashes, a little fresh grass, or carrots. Steam his head two o* three times a day with braD wet with hot water, and apply a warm poultice to tbe throat. Give injections if necessary, and if be is very con- stipated give a small dose of linseed oil. Communicate with ub again and say how he is gettiDg on. T. R. My horse has got a thrush in each of his front feet. They are not bad ones but I would like to get rid of them. Answer. — In a mild case of thrush common salt, or some powered alam put into tbe cleft and kept there by a pieco of oakum and tar, generally affects a cure. L. P. My four year old colt has got the lampas very bad. What is best to do for it? Give soft food. Scarify the p;irt, and apply some powdered alum, or burn tbe part with a hot iron. Tjjb is a disease generally caused by teething, and goes away in time without treatment. Several questions remain over, which will be answered nest week. Answers to Correspondents.

J. J. Miller, one of Australia's most noted sportsmen, has Bent to this office his *'Sportiog Pamphlet,'' which is replete with news both of the thoroughbreds and the trotters as well. It shows careful compilation, and is a credit to the publisher. A secretary of one of the associations in sending in a list of entries last weekj made the pedigree of Silas Skinner read as by Alcona. Mr. Rodebaver finds fault with the same, and desires attention called to the fact that the speedy black stal- lion is by Alcona Jr. What is the use of having selling races ? It has got to be such a farce that the winner is hardlv ever offered and never is bid for. Last Wednesday at San Jose, Tycoon was taken away without being put up but it was not the owners fault for the judges all left immediately. There are 200 horses in training at Fleetwood, and another trial is to be given the dash Bystem at that track early in September. Saddle races will also be a feature, and one of the new departures from the old-time three-in-five trotting contests. Some interest is excited by the proposed change. A Salt Lake despatch announces that a one hundred mile trotting race has been arraneed between I. J. Starbuck's brown mare Lady, weight 950 pounds, and L. D. Kinney's bay gelding Sea Foam, weight 960 pounds, to a buggy, road wagon, or cart, for a purse of §500 and a $500 buggy aDd harness. New Brunswick, Canada, has been slightly behind the times in regard to the ownership of trotting horses, for it was only last week that for the HrBt time a horse owned in that district made a record faBter than 2:30. The new comer into the list is King Charles, owned by Mr. David Arthurlon, who trotted a mile in 2:29. Matt Storn returned to Sacramento with his stable of run- ners from Los Angeles, and yesterday took over a carload to Napa, where he will start some of them during the meeting at that point. Matt was fortunate enough to win the Derby at the ADgel City with his crack three-year-old Marigold, and also several other good events. Ariel La'hrop, Esq., received a telegram last Monday even- ing from Marvin, slating that Palo Alto won the fifth heat of the free for all race in 2:1.5 at Baffalo, and would ship on Tuesday morning to Chicago as he was unable to go to Ro- chester. Presumably the railroad strike prevented the horses being shipped to Rochester. James Waterman of Fresno, the owner of Buccaneer Jr. has been in the city during the week visiting a few of his many friends. As usual, Jim was enthusiastio over his stal- lion Buccaneer Jr., and claims he can show half a dozen of the handsomest foals in the State. Mr. Waterman is a first- class horseman and knows what he is talking about. Pilot Medium has gained much notoriety by the perform- ance of his son Jack 2:15; but he also sired Lady Bullion 2:18.1. Tyrolean 2:20£, Calhoun 2;2^, Girftue 2:28 J, Pilot H. 2:29J and Knight 2:291. Pilot Medium is a 16 hand gray, foaled 1879. His sire was Happy Medium by Hambletonian 10, and his dam Tackey 2;26, by Pilot Jr. Tackey was the dam of Pilot Bov 2.20, Naiad Queen 2:20J and Class Leader 2:22*. And still the good work goes on. I had a visit from C. T. Hills of Tillamook, Oregon, a few days ago, and he gives the information that a few public spirited citizens have contrib- uted $3,500 and purchased land sufficient to build a good half-mile track. Later on in the season, a preliminary meet- ing will be given, and the horsemen of that neighborhood expect lots of sport. Many years ago a horse named Revenue Jr. waB brought to this coast and took part in several races among others be- ing one in which Wildidle, GrinBtead and Sherman were starters. It ^as tne WiBe Plate S'ake, the distance beiDg four miles. Wildidle won although Revenue Jr. led for over two miles. After this race he was taken back East and late advices from the E*st tell of his death in New Mexico, aged twenty-two years. Alfred Josephs, one of the best known of Australian book- makers is now on his way to San Francisco where be will endeavor to secure la id to build a psrmanent race track. "All" is one of the right kind and as he has plenty of means at bis disposal, in addition to being a partner of Joseph Thompson, of Melbourne, who will be interested in the new venture, if any encouragement at all be given, the track can be voted "a go." Mr. Davis, the owner and driver of Roy Wilkes, 2:12!j, lately met with an accident of so serious a nature that he will not be able to drive for some time, saya the Western Sports- man. Mr. Davis has in the meantime entrusted that noble animal to the care of G. W. Bonnell, the well known driver of Vinoeones. Mr. Davis could not have made a wiser choice in selecting a driver for his beautiful horse, for Mr. Bonnell's reputation as a careful, conscientious driver is above question, and his success on the track indisputable. Roy Wilkes is being worked on the Terre Haute track, and is having a sharp preparation. Myron H. Akin of Fort Collins, Colorado notifies the read- ers of the Breeder and Sportsman in this week's issue that he has for sale two beautiful Algona marts, seven and eight years old, in foal to Sultan and Electioneer stallions. Mr. Akin will dispose of these animals at a very low figure and consequently it may pay any of our readers to write to him at the address givtn. Well, Mr. Salisbury has determined to meet C, W. Wil- liams of Axtell fame on his own track, and has entered Margaret S. at Independence Iowa, where Bhe will have to contend against the justly celebrated stallion Allerton, and another hard race will undoubtedly be the result. Thegame and speedy daughter of Director is adding fresh laurels to the brow other sire every week. Last week I called attention (o a magnificent Antevolo colt owned by Mr. W. H. Taylor of San Luis Obispo. The rumor is now current that the youngster will soon change hands, as an Eastern breeder is now in negotiation for him. After the present very successful season in the East of all the Cal- ifornia horses, there can be no question of doubt but~that thero will be more prospective purchasers come to the coast during the coming fall and winter than there haye ever been before. For two years the two-year-old pacing record has stood to the credit of Ed Rosewater, who made the record of 2:20 \ in 18S8. A week ago last Thursday at the now celebrated kite- shaped track at Independence Iowa, the two-year-old pacing cole Manager, by Nutwood, reduced this record completing a mile in 2;19£. From our exchanges it is learned that there is a strong probability that the new record smasher will reduce even that mark before the present season closes. Frank Baldwin, Manager of the Fresno track, has returned from a visit to the Eastern States: and reports having had a glorious time. He witnessed the racing at Cleveland and Buffalo, and says that Adonis was severely cut on the hind legs in the heat that was paced in 2:1 1 i, or he would have won the race. Hickok has given the son of Sidney a let up, and will not start him until his return to California. Frank says that all of the Californians are making money simply because they have the best horses. Many times in the past few weeks I have heard sympathy expressed for Mr. Salisbury, inasmuch that he took Direct back EaBt, after a glorious career on the California circuit, and could not win with him back there. Frank Baldwin brings the information that at Saginaw, after the very fast quarter which was shown by Direct, the great son of Direc- tor cast a shoe, cutting himself very bady in the inside of the stifle. Although started at Cleveland, it was with no idea that he could win, and now Mr. Salisbury has deter- mined not to let him start again until he reaches the Pacitic Coast. Almont Boy, the sire of the great pacer Dallas, has a his- tory. He was purchased by Dr. W. A. Paschall and an associate for $150, and afterward Paschall became his sole owner by purchasing the other half interest for $300. He is now worth every dollar of $10,000. Almont Boy is a chest- nut horse, foaled 1875, by Almont Jr., dam McEwen mare by Torpedo (?on of Childe Harold); grandam Mollis by Hamlet (Ron of Consul), etc; bred by James McEwen, Franklin, Tenn. Three of his get have been trained, and thev have proven themselves great horses. They are Aline, 2:20; Dr. Almont, 2:21f, and Dallas, 2;1U Veritas says that one of the main topio3 of conversation among the members at Fleetwood was the victory of Jack over Palo Alto. "It reminds me," said one of them, '"of an occurrence last year, when the gallant gray, after winning a ding-dong race, was being led back to his stall, his driver, Doble, following. Mrs. Middleton, wife of Jack's owner, hurried after the party, anxious to express the pleasure she felt at the victory to Doble. 'I could kiss you, Mr. Doble', Bhe said, 'indeed I could.' 'Why don't you do it, then?' said her husband. Doble, in his quiet, demure way, said: *It was not I, Mrs. Middleton, who won the race; it was Jack; better kiss him.' " J. C. Hemment has just about completed a new apparatus which will greatly faciliate the acourate registry by photog- raphy of the finishes of races. The principal of the thing is that the camera is divided into two portions by a longitudinal division, each portion being fitted with a lens and plate- holder. By means of a prism a view of the races is obtained without the opeiator removing his eyes from the apparatus, and the whole camera revolves on a pivot as he watches the race. As it reaches the point at which the horses are just at the finish line, it automatically ''touches itself ofl" by elec- tricity. The use of this second lens is for the operator to secure a negative of the positions of the horses next in suc- cession, and in this case the picture is obtained at the will of the operator, not automatically. There is sometimes a party who wishes to sell a horse and does not require money in exchange. An advertisement to that effect can be found in the appropriate column in which Lee Mantle of Butte City, Montana notifies our readers that he has a handsome blaok mare, standard bred, 15 3 in height weighing about 1100 lbs., and has a record of 2:29. This mare he is anxious to dispose of and is willing to trade for a standard bred stallion colt two or three years old. Those in this State, who might wish to purchase the mare, Mr. Man- tle refers to B. C. Holly, Esq of Vallejo, who has ample knowledge of what the mare is. This should be a good op- portunity for nome of onr prominent breeders to secure a well bred and handsome individual in a "swap." I feel instilled with a prophetic instinct and am willing to go on record as a "guesser," for somehow I havo taken the notion that the Axtell people will refuse -to "have a go" at Sunol. The matter has been thoroughly canvassed by the Eastern Turf writers and one and all have come to the con- clusion that a match race will take place between these celebrities during the month of September. Now mark the following: there will be no race arranged between the great four year olds for the following reasons: first, Axtell h^s a slight puff on one of his legs which has deterred Doble from giving him the work necessary to key him up to a sublime effort, and secondly, in addition to that, the five gentlemen who own Axtell know that they can get seventy mares for him next season at $1,000 each. It takes but little calcula- tion to sbow that the return for the two seasons will reoonp the Syndicate for their enormous outlay and then they will have the horse free of cost but too worn out to trot him next year. In his six year old form he will serve no mares and will then be driven for a world beatiug record. This is not positive informaton but simply a surmise as to now Messrs. Conly, IjamB, et ah will woik their great youDg sjallion. The CiDcinnali Commercial Gazette of last Wednesday, in speaking editorially of trotting and pacing hordes, says: The trotting and pacing horses are coming to the front nobly this eeason. In the Cleveland races yesterday, twenty-two horses contested for three purses, and in the eleven heats there was none above 2;22. In the 2:30 trot, with nine entries, there were two heats in 2:20^, one heat in 2:18.1, and one in 2:15J. The trotter or pacer that expects to make any show this vear, muBt have speed, and be driven to its top notch. These races are gradually rising above the suspicion under which they have Buffered so long, tfiat they are 'jockeyed' for mere money-making purposes, and are establishing a reputation for fairness in which the best horse wins. This policy will make trotting and paoing races respectable, popular and prof- itable. John A. Goldsmith the well known driver and trainer of the San Mateo Stock Farm craoks had a olose shave last Sat- urday at San Jose. R. Havey and T. Smith bad scored up to the bend and turning round were returning when Gold- smith who was driving Chantilly— a Nutwood mare — met them and seeing Havey pull out he did not notice Smith who seemed not to have seen him until both sulkys collided, Gold- smith being thrown out. Luckily he was not muoh worse beyond the shaking. The mare ran three miles with the re- mains of the sulky and was muoh bruised and will probably not be fit to race for a few weeks . Goldsmith was again in bad luck on Tuesday as a yearling colt shied with him and hitting the fence upset the sulky but luckily not injuring either Goldsmith or the colt. A very handsome catalogue of the trotting stock at Abdal- lah Park, Cynthiana, Ky., has been received for which Mr. Wilson, the owner, has our thanks. The hook contains a full list of the horses now owned, in whole or in part, by W. H. Wilson and it is perfectly needless to say that within its cov- ers may be found the pedigrees of trotters that are as fash- ionably bred as any in the couniry. The stallions Simmons 2:28 and Sultan 2:24 are given the post of honor and right worthy are they of it, while the brood mares named would be hard to beat anywhere. Tiae proprietor of Abdallah Park is one of the few progressive breeders in the business and he does not hide his light under a buBhel but is williDg to let the world know what he has in the way of fine stock and to that end gets up the finest catalogues that money can procure. Those who would like duplicates of the 1S90 one will have them Bent by applying to Mr. Wilson. J. A. Goldsmith ib at present at San Jose with a string of 12 horses viz , Stambonl 2:12^, the property of W. S. Hobart and eleven of the San Mateo Stock Farms or mares that have been sent there to breed; they are Regal Wilkes 2:20$ at two years old, Hazel Wilkes 2:20 at four years old, Flora Belle 2:25, Sister V 2:22i, Rupee a three year old pacer by Guy Wilkes dam by Poscora Hayward out of Sable, dam of Sable Wilkes: Vida Wilkes a two year old filly by Guy Wilkes out of Vixen by Nutwood out of Sister dam of Albert W; Millie Wilkes a three year old filly by Guy Wilkes out of Ro- setta by The Moor; Serena a three year old by Sidney out of Blonde by Elmo; Freedom a yearling colt by Sable Wilkes out of Laura Drew by Arthurlon and Chantilly a brown mare by Nutwood dam Coupon. On Sunday morniDg Goldsmith will move to Napa with the above mentioned horses. Last Saturday morning the two well known drivers, Jno . A. Goldsmith and Tbos. Smith of Vallejo had a collision on the San Jose track that for a few moments seemed to the spectators as though a fatal accident "had happened. Mr. Goldsmith was speeding a mare which is owned in Kentucky around the track while Mr. Smith was jogging Mambrino Chief in the opposite direction; there were two or three other drivers speeding their horses the reverse way of the track, and when in front of the grand stand, Smith pulled out to allow the other drivers to go j-ast but in doing so he collided with the Bulky in which Goldsmith was riding, causing both men to be thrown out. Goldsmith was dragged several feet before he could disengage himself, but ultimately secured a release, when it was found, much to the astonish- ment of all present, that he had not been injured to amount to anything; Mr. Smith was equally fortunate, although both of the Uorse3 were mnre nr less injared. The Buffalo correspondent of the New York Spirit of the Times, says: "Mr. O. A, Hickok, recognized as one of the leading knights of the sulky on the American trotting turf, sauntered into one of the leading hotel corridors last even- ing in company with George A Middleton, of Chicago; S. A. Browne, of Ka'amazoo; J. L. Burnbam, of Milwaukee; W. H. Wilson, of Cynthiana; E. F. Fannan, of Jamestown; C. F. Emery, and other representative horsemen. The silvery locks of Time are beginning to predominate, but for all that O. A. Hickok, the pride of California, is still in the harness, fresh as a magnola blossom. He heeds no "sweets," no "warming up heats," no "cooling out," no "bandages," no "rubbing down" to prepare bim for a fast mark at social ohit chat, but he does wear "boots." W&ien a colt he needed copper "toe weights," but with age he "oti-tgrew their useful- ness, or, rather, necessity. , "You can say that Sunol will go against her time, 2-10J, at Buffalo next week, but it will be at Chicago when she will attempt to dethrone Maud S. 2K)8f," said the old turfite. "Do I think she can beat Belle Hamlin? Most assuredly, any place in the mile. She can beat the world." The stallion Patrioian, a Bon of Thomas Jefferson that was pretty well along in years, met his death in rather a peculiar manner at the recent Philadelphia meeting, says the Breed- ers Gazette. The owners of the old horse were anxious to get him in the 2:30 list, and of course equally anxious to win the race in which he started. He succeeded in capturing the first and second heats, both being better than 2:30, but was so distressed by the effort that in the third heat his dri- ver laid the stallionup. The judges noticed this and pat behind Patrician a new driver. This brilliant individual, not seeing that the horse was m bad Bhape, although the fact that the animal could not go any ought to have con- vinced bim of that, pounded Patrician around the track, and at the finish of the heat the horse was more dead than alive. He was taken froru the track and died during the night. Here is a case in whioh the Humane Society, if there be such an institution in Philadelphia, should take prompt and deci- sive action. The man who was put behind Patrioian by the judges is respouaible for the death of that horse from cruelty. Had he known his business it wonld have been apparent to him that when a horse that had been winning the first heats of a race in about 2:27 could not beat 2:40 there waB some- thing wrong with him. Hnd a man with sense been behind Patrician, be would have pulled up when he saw that the animal waB distressed, but the hopeful whom the jndgeB selected to do the driving evidently thought that bis reputa- tion as a reinsman depended on the extent to whioh he could punish a helpless brute. 1890 ■go* fPrjejete awd gyovtsmun. 131 SAN JOSE. By Our Special Commissioner. First Day, Monday, Aug. Uth. The first day of the San Jose racing meeting held under the auspices of the Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Society was a pronounced success notwithstanding the fact that the card was not a very Btrong one as far as the horses entered were concerned. The attendance was far above the average for the first day, and the weather was all that could be de- Bired, The opening event on the programme was a special race for a purse of $20o between Dr. Swift Annie C, Billy C. and Sin Jose. Billy G. was a trotter while the other three belonged to the sidewheel division. Dr. Swift was the fa- vorite at $20, Annie C. bringing $10 while the field found but few purchasers at §8. The race was a very one-sided one, Dr. Swift having it all his own way, winning in three heats, the following being the Summary. Dr. Swift, by Baywood.

She won handily in three straight lients, the time being 2;41: 2:10; and 2:42, Mns- grave being second and Flora third in the distribution of the moneys. Tuesday, Aug. 12th, 1890. The first regular day of the San Mateo and Santa Clara Co. Agricultural Association No. 5 Fair was held to day and was in every way a grand success, visitors from all over the State were present, the grand stand and club house being well filled, while both sides of the quarter stretch were liued with well appointed carriages of every description. Prominent among the spectators were Ariel Lathrop, President Blood Horse Association, W. S. Hobarfc, the well known owner of Stamboul, W. Corbitt, the happy proprietor of San Mateo, P. A. Finnigan, once owner of Santa Clans, W. Van de Lashmutt, Mayor of Portland, Or., and owner of a host of pood trotters, F. H. Burke, owner of Eros and "Wanda, Henry Pierce, one of the owners of Bay Rose, E T. Carroll, director of the Blood Horse Association and Oakland Fair Association, Morgan Hill, late owner of Prince Warwick, Percy Williams, Union Island, F. P. Lowell, Sicramento, Lot D. Slocum, San Francisco, Wilher Field Smith, James McCord and James Garland, Sacramento, A. Gonzalez, San Francisco, J. A. MeKerron, the well known horse outfitter, Peter Brandow without a horse, L. E. Clawson, G. Van Gordon, Sup't of Senator Hearst's San Simeon ranch, Frank Baldwin, Fresno, who was fresh from an Eastern trip and vigorously obtaining entries for the fall meeting at Fresno, Col. Morshead now of Santa Clara and a host of local celebri- ties. The programme was run through in admirable style, there being no unnecessary deluy or hitch while the two races although fairly exciting were won by the San Mateo Stock Farm entries, driven by the irrepressible John Goldsmith. The Judges were President William Buckley, Jesse D. Carr, Salinas, and C. S. Crittenden, San Francisco. Timers, G. Van Gordon, E. T. Carroll and L. W. Warden. Promptly on time the bell was rung for the first race, a trotting race for the 2:20 class which had four entries, Palo Alto's Express, who has a record of 2:21; Agnew Stock Farm's Emma Temple, 2:21; San Mateo Stock Farm's Hazel Wilkes, 2;20; and J. Linscott's Jim L., 2:20*. First Heat. Pools soon settled down to a steady rate, Hazel Wilkes be- ing a hot favorite at $25 to Emm* Temple $12 and Express end Jim L coupled as a field $3. In the draw for positions. Jim L. obtained the pole, with Express next and Hazel Wilkes on the outside. About twenty minutes was devoted to scoring up, Emma Temple being rather inclined to break just before the wire, while Jim L. was rather uncertain. When the bell was tapped, Jim L. and Express went away very fast, and both trotting evenly, led Hazel by two lengths round the turn and down the back- stretch, with Temple two lengths further back. After pass- ing the three-furlong post, Goldsmith turned Hazel loose before passing the half-mile in 1:12, was half a length in front of Jim L., while Express was only a length behind, Temple Btill last. Hazel increased her lead round the turn, and rounded into the homestretch with a clear three-lengths lead, which she easily maintained to the wire; Jim L. found the pace too good, and broke when fairly in the stretch, being passed by both Express and Emma Temple, wno made a pretty finish for second position, which Express just landed by a neck from Temple, who beat Jim L. by three lengths. Time,2:24J. Paris mutuels in the heat (120 tickets sold) paid $9 20. The balloon ascent and descent was successfully made by Professor Baldwin, and then the horses came out for the Second heat. — A few pools were Bold at $25 for Hazel WilkeB to $7 for the whole field. The quartette were des- patched at the second attempt; Hazel Wilkes at once took the lead, while Express, who broke almost immediately, fell away back. Going round the turn, Hazel opened up a big gap and passed the quarter four good lengths in front of Jim L„ who was just clear of Temple, with Express three lengths further back; Jim L. broke half way down the backstretoh, and dropped back to Express, while Temple went on in pursuit of the chestnut mare, but Goldsmith kept her going, and won readily by three lengths, Temple second, Express third, a length in front of Jim L., the two latter being nicely inside the distance flag. Time, 2:23. Paris mutuels, none sold. Third heat (after first heat of 2;27 trot)— No pools were sold, as the race waB supposed to be all over, barring acci- dents, and Goldsmith had had two in the last three days, and was therefore not taking any risks. A start was effected at , the first attempt; the favorite broke rightunder the wire, aod was four lengtus behind Temple when she Bettled, and trot- ting rapidly was second on the turn, and at the quarter was only a length behind Temple, with Jim L. third, three lengths back, and two lengths in front of Express. Hazel went past Temple like a standing tree on the back-tretch, and went round the turn three lengths in front, with Jim L. six lengths behind and two in front of Express; running. Temple closed ud the gap as she turned into the stretch, and got within a length of Hazel half way np the stretch, but the effort was too much for her, and she broke badly, Hazel Wilkes winning easily by three lengths, with Temple second, and Jim L. and Express barely inside the distance. The distance judge re- ported Express distanced, but it was decided by the judges that he was inside. Time, 2:23. No Paris mutuels sold. summary. San Jose, Tnesday, Aug. 12th. -2:20 class; trotting.

Five of the ten bad records better than 2;30, viz: Sister V, 2:27; Moses S, 2:21^; Flora G., 2:29}; Guide. 2:29 and Sar- gent, 2:28. Auction pools sold rapidly at $60 for Sister V., $20 for Moses S.. and $22 for the Beld. After a gr^at deal of scoring for the word a straggling start was effected with Moses S. a shade the best of the leaderd, and being sent right on he drew clear and led Sister by two lengths round the turn. L°e, who was third, broke and lost his position to Clara Z , with Guide a fair fifth and the rest all strung out. Moses, Sister and Clara were all about two lengths apart at the quarter, but Goldsmith, behind Sister, closed the gap to a scant length at the half, while the others dropped back, Guide being third six lengths behind, and the two greys, Clara and Sargent were fourth and fifth, three lengths further back, with Lee leading the remainder. Sister went up to Moses on the turn, and stayed with him to the homestretch, when she slowly drew away, and the Stockton horse tiring, beat him out a length and a half with a little in hand. Guide was a moderate third, Clara Z. fourth, and the rest all strung out. Time 2:22£. Paris mutuels on the heat paid $9 60. Second heat — Very few pools were sold, Sister V bringing $150, Moses $7 and the field $5. The big field was very soon started again, pretty well straggled ont. Sister V went right out and was Boon clear of the field, leading Moses by three lengths round the turn and down the backBtretch, with Guide two lengths behind, followed by the two grey*; the same order was maintained all through, and although Moses S crawled up a little round the lower turn, Sister came away again in the homestretch and won, with a little in reBerve, by three lengths. Sutherland made a big drive behind Guide np the straight, and the black son of Director stood it like a Trojan and closed up on Moses, being only beaten half a length for second position* Clara Z and Sargent were again fourth and fifth. Time, 2:23. Pans mutnals on the heat paid $6.50. Third heat — No pools were sold, Sister V having shown too much pace for the balance. A start was soon effected Lee having much the worst of it. Sister at once set the pace, with Moses second and Guide third, to the quarter, when Moses broke and lost his position. Sister kept pegging on and passed the half rive lengths in front of Guide, three in advance of Sargent just clear of Flora G and Moses. Sister went right along and won easily by three lengths while Moses worked his way up to Guide and challenging him at the top of the homestretch soon had the better of him but B'lora G came with a desperate rush in the last huDdred yards and finished close up third. The Judges mistook Guide for her and placed him third but afterwards reversed their decision when they gave Flora G fourth mon- ey. Time2:25£. SUMMARY. 2:27 class, trotting, purse S1.GO0.

The weather was brilliant, in fact could not have been improved on and a large attendance was expeoted at the park as there were many attractions, but for some reason or other the public did not turn out in anything like the number they did on the previous day. At 10 o'clock a parade of live Block was held, horses and cattle being, all marshalled into the inside of the track and drawn up in a line almost half a mile long. Imported Brutus led the thoroughbred brigade; he is now owned by Wm. Boots, who purohased him from Palo Alto. Following blm came a lot of thoroughbreds of all ages, principally the property of Mr. Boots. Among standard trotters E. Tiphanl was most prominent having five or six entries. The Roadster classes had numerous entries, particular notice being taken of Morgan Hill's stylish looking pair of carriage horses. John Trumble's executors had a good lot of entries among the heavy brigade and then came a magnificent display of oattle, Messrs. Younger. Polhemus, Burke and Cramer having exceptionally high class entries. The after- noon programme which was all for the thoroughbreds was not started on until 2:30, When the first race was- called up a handicap sweepstakes for all ages, six furlonqs, having four left in, pools veered round and sold, Daisy £20 Revolver SI 3, Alfaretta 58 and Ketta B. S3. Starter Van Gordon who took his horses fully a hundred yards back of the six furlong post got the quartette awav to a good start after about fifteen minutes delay. Daisy D. at once showed in front with Ketta B. and Alfaretta close up, and HenneSBy sendiog Daisy right alone was an open length in front of Alfaretta at the halfwitb.tne other pair a scant length further back. Daisy increased her advantage round the turn and won in a big gallop by three lengths from Revolver and Alfaretta who won a dead heat for second place after a pun- ishing finish all the wav up the stretch.

Three two year olds faced the starter, two of whom were Palo Alto bred youngsters, Mero having been purchased last year by Bruce Cockrill, and afterwards sold to Owen Bros while only a fortnight ago G. Harrison bought Kylo for $1,000; the other Btarter was Duke of Milpitas who had won two races for the Elmwood Stable at lone. Again a complete change was seen in the overnight pool selling which had Duke of Milpitas favorite at §40 to Kylo $15 and Mero §10- a few pools were sold and gradually a Btrong backing made Kylo favorite, and increasing in favor, he Bold for §40 to the Dnke §16 and Msro $14. A long delay occurred at the start caused by the Duke, who exhibited a frightful temper bolt- ing through the gate twice, and eventually rushing at the frnce, threw Courtney on to his neck, and thence gradually to the ground. He was soon remounted, and a start was al- most immediately effected, Mero cutting out the work on the rails half a length in front of Kylo, with the Dnke at his girths. Kylo drew up level with Mero at the three-auarter pole, and going on, was an open length to the good at the half, with Milpitas a length further behind. Milpita* made his run round the turn and got to Kylo's shoulder round the turn for home, but the favorite drew away in the stretch and won handsomely by three lengths from Milpitas same dis- tance second and third.

The flag was dropped the first 'time toa pretty start. Tycoon at once went to the front and led Na- beau half a length round the turn with Wild Oats two lengths back, the favorite increased his lead to two leogths down the back stretch and kept to the turn for home where the other pair were level and all three sat down and rode hard but at the drawgate Hitchcock, who was two lengths in front eased up on Tycoon who won cleverly by a length and a half from Wild Oats who beat Nabeau three lengths for the place Time, MS}, Mutuals paid $6.30. Second heat no pools were sold. A long delay occurred, for after the horses came out Na- beau twisted a plate and the judges allowed him to be re- plated. When all was agaiu ready the flag was dropped to a good start, Nabeau and Tycoon going right out opened a gap of five lengths on Wild Oats and the leading pair hung together to the half where Nabeau had a neck the best of it Tycoon, however, drew gradually away and had an open length the best of it at the head of the stretch, while Wild Oats was ridden hard three lengths further back. Tycoon now had the race well in bond and won by a length and a half cleverly, Nabeau just bfating Wild Oats by a head, the latter having finished very strong under severe persuasion Time, 1:425.

There were no pools sold, the race to be conceded to Vic H., and she won as she pleased in straight heats in 2:39, 2:35 and 2:252; distance wsb waived in the last heat, or her oppo- nents would have struck the red flag. The winner is a very handsome brown mare, and is by Blackbird, dam Ellen Swigert. She is entered at Oakland, and should win there.

The Grand S!and was a perfect bower. The many colors of the gaily attired laiies made a picture not soon to be forgotten. The contestants were Miss Marshall, Phil Jarvis and Mrs. G. W. Bressler. Miss Marshall wa^ mounted on a splendid sorrel, Miss Jarvis bad a spirited bay and Mrs. Brevier rode a high nettled sorrel. The riders wore handsome costumes, and were greeted with deafeniog applauseB as each passed the Grand Stand through the different gaits, walk, canter, trot, gallop and run. The Ladies eshbited a wonderful amount of daring in the running. The judges were Capt. Wm. Ash, of Berlin, Wm. Billnps of Colosa and R. H. Newton of Woodland; three young men that we have no doubt will give satisfaction when they ren- der their decision Saturday. Red Bluff Entries.

Great preparations are being made for the grand exhibition of the Olympic Athletic Club which will be held in the Grand Opera House nest month. Over 150 of the best athletes in the club will take part in the exercises which will be varied and many. Professors Corbett, Smythe, Miehling, Van Court, etc., will put foreward their best pupils and a capital programme will be the result. We understand that the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club and the Argus Athletic Club are aoout to consolidate. The name of the combined club is to be the Alpine Argus Athletic Club. The Argas Club contains over fifty first class athletes and its addition to the Alpine Club would necessarily mean the formation of a very powerful athletic organizition. All the suspected members in the Alpine Club will be asked to resign after the club is settled at Central Park. There was a meeting of the P. C. A. A. A. on Wednesday evening last when the Sacramento Athletic Club applied for admission into the association. All the leading clubs on the coast are now in the P. C. A. A. A. and tine sport may be looked forward to on the 17th of September, when the great tournament will be held at Sacramento. As is usual just before the annual election in the Olympic Club, a general meeting was held on Monday evening last at the gymnasium to select a nominating committee, which suggests names to be placed upon the regular ticket. The following members were selected: E S Van Court, J P Jack- son, Jr., S V Casady. C J Schuster, C H Stanyau, Jr. The gentlemen named pledged themselves in favor of cer- tain measures of club policy among which were: The vigorous prosecution of the building scheme. The selection of a ticket, every member of which shall be a steadfast supporter of the project. The nomination of Wm. Greer Harrison for President. The creation of the office of Captain in the Board of Di- rectors. The placing of indoor and outdoor athletics under separate directing heads, and to that end the election to the Directory of an accomplished indoor athlete for the office of leader.aud of an accomplished outdoor athlete for the office of captaio. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. I weDt over to see the cross-country run at Alameda on Sunday last, and was pleased at the good showing made by Alpine Club boyB. By the way, the Alpine members all wore the initial of their clubs, flanged with two wings, and many of the Alameda people mistook them for the Alameda Club boys, the initial letter of each club being the Bame. I over- heard one yooug lady remark; "What a splendid lot of young athletes; Alameda should be proud of them." (?) I have tried to find out something about the Olympic games which I believe will come off on Admission Day, but could not get any reliable information. It is time to issue the programme if the games really are to be held. The two milen handicap run at Sacramento on September 17th will be worth Beeing. I know four young men who have an eye on first place. P. D, Skillman is capable of running the distance under 9min 45 sees,, and I think Cooley, Scott, Espinosa and Harry Casidy, should not be left out in the cold. None of the men named have had very much ex- perience at long distance running, and Scott and Cooley shoald get at least 40 seconds start, while Espinosa and Casidy would need about 10 more seconds to stand any show. SKILLMAN OF COURSE. The 12. h cross country, or rather road, run of the Olym- pic Club was held at San Mateo laBt Sunday and the contest would have been more interesting had the distance been shorter. The contestants were obliged to jog from San Ma- teo to Milbrae a distance of about four miles and the race be- gan when the turning point was reached. The men got on their marks at Milbrae and the following handicaps were al- lowed: P. D. Skillman, scratch, F. L. Cooley, 60iecs., W. A. Scott and M. Espinosa lmin. iSsecs. each, S. V. Casady, 2 min. 15secs., J. C. Kortich, 3 min. 15 sees., A. Christie 2 min. S. V. Winslow, 2 min. 15 sees. W. Phelps, 6 min., E. McDonald 4 min. 30 sees , M. Tromboni, S mm, C. A. Jelli- neak, 4 min, Schlengheyde, 4 min R. McArtbur, 1 min, 15 Bees. The limit man wa3 out of sight when Skillman started but in a very Bhort space of time he caught up with his men and took the lead. He is a wonderful runner and many of the young runners who forgot that Skillman was the only one of his kind in America grew disheartened and vowed that they would quit the cinder path. They will soon forget Sun* day and commence training again. The New Yorker won as he pleased in 22 min. 7 sees., very fast time over the coarse. Frank Cooley, the present champion, arrived 33 seconds afterwards, and won second prize. Martin Espinosa ran well and got in third, while S. V. Winslow finished fourth. Me- Arthur was obliged to give up on account of one of his spikes running into his foot. He had to ride back to the finishing point in a buggy. Scott also suffdred with his feet as did most of the runners. The athletes, after enjoying a wash and a change of clothes, sat down to a very fall lunch under some live oakB, and after the food was all eaten up, Mr. S^ott, in a neat, little speech, gave the winners their prizes, which were as follows: 1st, gold and silver mounted cane; 2nd, a Bilver match box; 3rd, a gold breastpin; 4th, a pair of silver sleeve buttons. The last man home, Schlingbeyde, was presented, amid great cheering, with the leather medal. The medal was qaite an aitistic affair and had the following inscription upon it: "He tarried by the wayside for reasons best known to himself." There was also a sketch of a very tired looking man's face boand up in a handkerchief. The weather was pleasant and cool, and if the run had been four miles instead of eight the boyB would have enjoyed it better. THE ALPINE AND ALAMEDA CLUB RUN. A combined run of the Alpine Club of this city, and the Olympic of Alameda, took place on Sunday afternoon from the gymnasium of the latter club on Lincoln Avenue. Ala- meda, commencing at 2:12. The run was out to Bay Farm Island and return, a j mrney of four mileB. It took the run- ners 19 minutes and 30 seconds to reach the finishing place on the Island, and after a good long reBf, all the athletes started for home, except Casidy, Cooke, Vollmer and Garri- son, who allowed the others two minutes handicap. Cooke and Casidy had no trouble in overhauling the other men, and made the first mile home in 5min. 20seos. Roth Vollmer and Garrison were out of condition, and did not try to sport. The run was not intended as a contest, but merely a practice spin, hence the poor time made. The boys attracted great attention as they jogged along Central Avenue, and many a young lady who peeped fiom behind a blind, wondered "what they were." Snow, of the Alameda Club and Caesidy, of the Alpines, ran together when near the finish and the larter allowed Snow to canter in front by Bixty yards. Time 41min lOsecs. Another run will probably be gotten up in a couple of weeks. The following started; Alpine Club, J D Garrison, HC Cassidy, W F Vollmer. A Cooke, G W Armbruster, C. Arm- bruster, A Choynski, R A Luttiinger, E Steinway, H O Far- rell, E Dieyfus, F J Ralph, Elias Levy, F E Holland, A M ing, E P Moody. Alameda Olympic Club— A C Snow, D A Cohen and T Sparrow.

Lathrop, August S, 1890. Color in the Animal Kingdom. Color in the animal kingdom is due to two causes — either to the presence of coloring mattexa, of pigment, or to the presence of fine scalpturing, which produces an optical effect of a certain color. What we term metallic colors iD birds — humming-birds, for example — and in butterflies, are not caused by pigments of that tint, but by line grooves upon the feathers or Bcales, and thin lamina of horny substance. Very often these two causes are combined; they are, for example, in the peacock. An albino peacock is by no means a rarity; and if the tail-feathers of one be closely examined, they will be seen to show a pattern like that of a damask tablecloth. This pattern is dae to the fine grooves raled upon the feath- ers, which are differently disposed in the rings which form . the "eye;" but the blackish-brown pigment is absent, and so the grooves produce no effect of color. Very often the color of an animal is dae to two pigments combined; for instance, the beautiful green of the iguana lizbrd is due to a distinct yellow and a blae pigment. But these colors can not be washed oat by water, though they soon fade after death — at least the yellow does — leaving the animal of a grayish-bine color, which is the prevailing hue of staffed lizards. Among the butterflies "mechanical colors" appear to be the rule; bat the "brimstone" is an exception, for from its wings a yellow pigment can be extracted. The questions relating to the color of animals were once only the theme of poets, but are now the property of scientists, who have built up most interesting theories to account for the nature and distribution of color. Bat these theories have, for the mobt part, dealt with the question in reference to such intellegeut gronp« of creatures : is birds and insects, and have rather ignored worms and itarfiahes and crabs, and such like beings of a limited intel- lect, whose aesthetic sense, even to the moBt ardent followers of Darwin, mast appaar somewhat doubtful. A congregation of blue, purple and red invertebrates living four miles below the surface of the sea, can not reap much advantage from being impressed by their neighbor's gaudy attire, even if they could see it; but they can not see, for the very good reason that, for the most part, they have no eyes, and if they had, it is too dark to see. On the other hand, even among inseots and birds, the greater number are plainly colored, and show no great difference of sex; aod we must assume, therefore, that even between closely allied species belonging, iu some cases, to the same family — or it may be genus — there is an enormous gap in intellectual development if we are to accept a theory of "sexual selection." It is in reality probably nec- essary to disentangle, from their very intimate relationship, the two classes of colors mentioned above before we can arrive at any useful hypothesis as to their meaning. It is very noticeable that in numerous marioe creatures whose mode of life renders concealment unnecessary, "warning col- ors" futile, and sexual coloration impossible, the frequently brilliant colors are entirely due to pigments deposited in the skin. On the other hand, in butterflies and birds, where sexual selection and so forth is conceivable, the colors are largely produced by mechanical causes affecting the structure of the feathers or scales. In fact. It is not too much- to say that nearly all, if not quite all, birds in which the two sexes show a marked disparity of coloration, owe their brilliant hues to stiuclural peculiarities of the feathers, and not lo pigments. — Frank E Beddard.

It is rumored that Moraga Valley and adjacent tracts are to be leased by a new preserve club, and heavily stocked. A shipment of Mongolian pheasants has been on exhibition at Mr. E. T.Allen's for some days. The birds are to be placed on the North Pacific Game and Fish preserve near Ukiah. It is to be regretted that copper pheasants were not secured instead. County Auditor Soule of San Baroardino is credited with having gathered 100 dozen wild duck eggs during a twelve day visit to the Bear Valley Reservoir. If it be true, he should do penance, and sternly forswear such very un- sportsmanlike practice. About as dainty things as have lately come to notice are some 44 calibre double breech loading shot guns at Messrs. Clabrough, Golcher & Co.'s. The guns are well proportioned, nicely finished with receut improvements, top snap, re- bounding locks, etc., and shoot well. They weigh four pounds each, and for bird collectiug, Bwallow snooting, or like work, are very good. We understand that several have been purchased for the risiog generation of sportsmen— yonDg Joe Bassford, aged six- young Will Golcher, Hged sev- en; yoang Harrv Schreiber, aged six; and others of like ripeness in years. Three young men who are not members of any gun clab> bat who belong to San Jose, have issued a challenge to any three members of the Gardpu City God Club to eogage in a pigeon shoot with them. The challengers are crack shots, and besides this are backed by men who know all about shooting and who are willing lo place a large amount of money on the ability of the uukuowo team to win. Mr. Joe Delmas says he does not think the Garden City men will accept the challenge We are confident a match can be arranged with members of the Blue Rock Clab of this city, if Mr. C. B. Mtone, the Secretary, is consulted. Mr. Joe Bassford, Jr. of Vacaville has been writing to Mr. William Schriber of this city, and by permission of the latte* an extract is made from his letter, which was dated August 0th. He writes: Yours jast to hand. I am very sorry that I cannot go af- ter deer with you. I just returned from a two days and a half deer chase. We had good dogs, saw twelve deer and got two good ones and had a nice time. We ran seven dogs altogether oce day and it was fun. The large backs have shed their velvet in Berryessa Valley.

Givo us honest men for judges. Lieutenant J. M. T. Partello, of the Regular Army, is qaite as well posted upon the shooting lo be had in America as any man, which fact lends additional interest to these re- marks by him about Northwestern Texas. He writes: "The prairies and plains of Northwestern Texas are now the very best hunting grounds on tbe North American con- tinent. The "Llano Estacado," or Staked Plain, long con- sidered a desert waste, and, therefore, avoided by human creatures, has turned out to be the very opposite of this opin- ion. It is at present a haven of refuge for nearly all wild game animals of the Southwest. Neither Indian, cowboy nor horse thief would cross the unexplored region unless forced to do so, and when they did the trails were marked in every direction by stakes or wooden pins, which has given it the name of "Llano Estacado," or Staked Plain. In consequence of tbe general abandonment of the spit by humans, the wild and semi wild animals of the Southwest, driven and hunted from place to place, at last sought this isolated country, where they were and have been safe from the bullets and ar- rows of white and red men. The great plain is now a veritable park of natural history. The "last bison" not long since wandered homeless and friendless over the hills and valleys of the "Llano" until he was finally run down and slaughtered, and there are yet to be seen thousands of skeletons of this representative Ameri- can game animal rotting and bleaching into dust under the sun's fierce glare. Scouring the plains and bounding amid the timber are great numbers of deer, antelope, peccaries or musk hogs, wild cats, timber wolves, Mexican lions, bears, skunks, and among the rocky places a few elk; also jack rabbits, chappa- ral cocks, wild pigeons, ducks, quail, plover, grouse, prairie dogs, owls, wild turkeys, wolves, coyotes and rattlesnakes galore. Occasionally wild mustangs are encounteied, but they are now few and far between. Of course such creatures as tarantulas, scorpions, vinega- roons and centipedes are not to be considered, for there is scarcely a square mile in all Texas which has not it* thou- sands of those creeping and crawling things. The "Llano" has been a paradise for stray cattle. The Texas steer, always noted for his wild ferociousness, escaping to this isolated spot, free from branding irons and round-nps, has become wilder and more ferocious than ever. His scarred and scorched hide tells the story that he was only a captive, but he kicks his heels into the air and vows he will be so no longer. Some time before the late unpleasantness between the North and South, the National government imported a few camels for experimental mail carrying over certain parts of the dry and arid Southwest. By the fortunes of war these big, unwifcldly brutes fell into the hands of the Confederate authorities, and after awhile, proving of too much trouble and Dot sufficient advantage, they were turned loose to rustle for themselves. Whatever became of this band of strangers was not known until within a year or two a stray one was encountered near the ranch of Col. Lewis Wolfley, in the vicinity of Gila Bend. The others no doubt drifted hither and thither, finally reaching the great staked plain, and perhaps arc there now, secure in their efforts to reach tbe farthest point fiom civilzaiion in our country. Bearing upon the question, what becomes of shed antlers, Lieutenant Partello drew this statement fiom an old hunter; '•Although I have traveled all over the West, in the moun- tains and among the river bottoms, yet seldom do I meet with discarded antlers. What becomes of them, Mr. Bur- ger?" The hunter's reply was a complete surprise to me, and I am sore it will be astonishing lo scientists and old plaioa- men who have never found the ttue answer to this mysteri- ous problem. When we conbider tbe thousands — nay, mil- lions of antlers that are shed annually, and that but a very few are ever picked up or seen, this old man's reply, which I am certain is the correct solution, will be a revelation to till who are interested in tbe subject. "Horns, you kDow, come offorce a year," he said. "And it's very fuDny thnt a curious little insect t;ickles them horns almost as soon as they are dropped. Somehow, they won't touch the horns of a dter or e'k which is killed. I suppose* because they are too fr>sh and tough; but the ones that bill off, these little customers coverin millinLs. and snou reduce them to powder and dust. Yon fellows from the North don't know this, but I've seen the little hugs at work hundreds of times; and that's why there is not more bones lying around loose in the valleys and mountains.

Cline, Los Angeles, a dog and a bitch. Intelligence of Dogs. There cannot be any doubt at all that some dogs are able to find their way home over scores — and even hundreds— of miles, through a completely strange country, and in a time whioh indicates that they must have taken the "bee-line',, or, at any rate, the shortest available route, says Geo. J. Romanes in the Canine World. Moreover, there can be no doubt that this may be the case, however circuitous the route in the out-going jjurney may have beeD, and whether or not the animal has had the use of its eyes during the course of this journey. Therefore, on whatever faculties it may be that the homing instinct of a dog depends, it certainly does not depend upon the senses either of vision or of smell. When— as has frequently been the case — the outgoing journ- ey is taken in a box, or in the boot of a railway train, it is obvious that the sense of vision can be of to use to the ani- mal in afterwards retracing the route, even if we were to suppose (against the evidence afforded by many of the cases), that he does re-trace the exact route instead of taking the "shortest cut." Again, that the sense of smell need have nothing to do with the matter is proved not only by the fact just mentioned, but also because even if the outgoing jour- ney has been accomplished by sea the dog will return by land; and therefore cannot possibly return on any "recol- lection of smells in their inverse order," as has been sugges- ted by Mr. A. R. Wallace. The next thing to be noticed is, that although the faculty in onestioo is ordinarily called the "homing instinct," it is certainly not an instinct in the psychological signification of thiB term. For it is so far from being a common or universal endowment of all individuals of the species, that it appears to be a comparatively rare endowment — probably not one dog in a hundred being able to effect his return over aB large a number of mile3. Lastly, it may be noted that although this homiog faculty is exhibited by many other animals, these, so far as any trustworthy evidence at present goes — and if we accept the phenomena of migration, which are probably due to some other though equally mysterious fac- ulty— are all comprised within the class Mammalia. Carrier pigeons do not present it in any degree at all, and therefore require to be tanght their route between any two points (by flying them at intermediate points) before they can find their way back over distances which are beyond their range of vi- sion. Bees, again, do not present the homing faonlty; the "bee-line" which they take toward their hive, when libera- ted from the box of the wild honey-finder, being due to their special knowledge of the land marks in the district — as was proved simultaneonply and independently by Sir John Lub- bock and myself in 1SS7. Thu% the only evidence that we have of the homing faculty properly so called — or as not in- volving the sense of sight, knowledge of a special district, etc. — refers to sundry Bpecies among our domesticated Mam- malia, particularly, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep and pigs. Now, What I desire is to find some dog (or cat) that has already proved himself an adept at way finding; and there- fore I hope that any of your readers who may know of such an animal will be kind enough to communicate with me, either with a view to my effectiog a purchase of the animal, or else to my suggesting a course of experiments which might be tried. The other matter connected with canine intelligence on which I desire to solicit information is as follows: — Until within the last few years it was the universal belief of Uolo gists that the effects of training (i. e., of individual experi- ence uniformly continned over a number of generations) ad- mits of being in Borne degree transmitted by heredity to off- spring. In this way evolutionists were accustomed in large measure to explain the phenomenon of instinct in general, viz., by regarding instiuot as "inherited memory," or "or- ganized experience." Great countenance was lent to this view by the facts of what have been called the "artificial in- stincts" of oar domesticated animals — and especially those of th« dog. Thus, for instance, there can be no doubt that our Setters and Pointers, when pure bred, inherit a marked aptitude for setting and pointing, which is prior to any indi- vidual teachiug, and therefore makeB the process of teaching more easy in dogs of this kind than in those of any other breed. Similarly, pure bred Retrievers inherit an artificially produced instinct of retrieving; Sheepdogs, an artificially, produced instinct of running around, instead of at a flock of sheep;"and so od. But now within the laH few years Pro- fessor Weismann has raised the q-iestiou whether individu- ally acquired characters of any kind— bodily or mental— are ever transmitted to progenv in any degree at all. His view is that cnly congenital characters are so transmitted, or qual- ities which happen to arise as inate peculiarities in the first instance. For example, there is no doubt that by increased use of his arms a blacksmith acquires a greater muscularity of his arms; and therefore, if there were a thousand gener- ations of blacksmiths, it seems reasonable to infer that the children of this race of blacksmiths would inherit stronger arms than the children, say of a similarly long line of watch- makers. Weissmann, however, haB given very good reasons for doubting this inference; and the question whether or not it is any longer to be deemed a valid inference, is at present exercising a keener interest in the world of biological science than is any other question whatsoever: If it be trae that only congenital variations arejinherited, all the adaptive machinery of organic nature, and all the special aptitudes of animal instinct must be set down to the unaided influence of natural selection. There cannot be in the Bpecies, as there obviously is in the individual, any such thing as "function producing structure," "practice making perfect," etc. What hapoens is that natural selection is always on the lookout, so to speak, for those congenital variations (whether of structure or of instinct) which happen to be in the direction of increased utility: the circumlative growth of adaptations in special lines thus secured through successive generations, being never in any degree. assisted by functionally induced improvements in thecaee of individuals Now, the analogue of natural selection in the case of our domesticated animals, is artificial selection — or the careful mating together of their best animals oy cattle breeders, dog fanciers, etc Therefore, the question which I should like to put to men of experience is the breeding of dogs — and, if pOBaible, to get the question debated in your pages — is as fol- lows: Is it, or is it not. the case, that in mating setters, retriev- ers, etc , professional dog-breeders are in the habit of paying attention to the special mental aptitudes as distinguished from the general corporeal excellencies of their pedigree ani- mals? If they pay comparatively little or no attention to the Bpecial mental aptitudeB (pointing, setting, retrieving, etc.), the fact of these having now become instinctive would point to the conclusion that they are the result of many generations of special training. On the other hand, if they do pay any special attention to these special aptitudes, so that they select for pairing together dogs and bitches which from pnppyhood have proved the best pointers, setters and retrievers, it becomes quite possible that individual trainiog has had nothing whatever to do with the genesis of "artifi- cial instincts,' « How to Overcome (jua-Shyness. When puppies pasB into the hands of really skilled trainers before owners have attempted to teach them at all there is little danger of development of gun-shyness, bnt in practice those who own young pointing dogs usually tinker with them from weaning time until they go to the training kennel, keep them feverish and susceptible to nervousness. Mr. Lake W. White, of New Jersey, who has done a deal of good training writes very instructingly to the Fancier's Journal about gun- Bhyness and its cure and wbat he says is well worth persual by all doggy men. He writes; "I do not believe that any young dog can be shot over the first time game is flushed before him without danger of frightening and making him game shy, gun-shy, or both. There is great disparity in young dogs with regard to the effects of their early experience under the gan and on game. Some that are bold in all other places begin quite cowardly on game, and absolutely break down at the report of the gun, while others that appeared naturally timid before going into the field go to work with surprising pluck, and stand the gon from the outBet. While these facts appear to indicate that gun-shyness and game-shyness are inherited faults, jet I claim they are not, and furthermore I say that any dog may be made Bhy, and this fault can always be prevented if the handler knows bow and can secure an opportunity to do it. Now the qaestion arises. Do competent handlers always avoid or ward off Bbyness in their dogs ? I answer no, because no handler is so capable as to immediately understand at all times and under all circumstances the conditions which effeci his pupil's work on game and under the gun. If a handler has had a puppy a sufficient time before he undertakes to work him on game, and has fortified him against nervous shock by making him familiar with noise and excitement, then it is more than probable he will have no trouble with him on accountof the game or the gun, but if he has not had time and opportunity to so prepare his dog, I say he is then always in danger of bad effects from his first experience. By using proper precaution the danger of shyness is greatly lessened, in fact, almost entirely avoided. I find it a very Rood plan to have my puppy lead on a chain a safe distance lroni the gun, and when I flush game over my trained dogs, then br ng up the youngster and let him work on the old scent a little time. If I have a dead bird I always let him put hiB nose to it, but when he attempts to bite it I stop him by holding hini, saying ' Ho!" but I never under any circum- stances strike him a blow when he first goes on game no mat- ter how badly he acts. In this wayl excite and make the youngster eager for his work. I then let him go and hunt, always encouraging him to go out instead of pottering on old scent, whioh he is generally apt to do. When he finds game the first time I allow him to handle it as he pleases. If he flushes and chases the game I stand still and await bis re- turn with my trained dog to a charge. When he returns I bring him in to me, put him to a charge or steady him to "ho" patting and encouraging him gently at the same time. After a short time I let him go again and repeat this performance every time he comes on game. I never shoot over a puppy until he has seen game in this way several times, and when I do shoot I content myself with one shot each leBBon for several successive trials. When I see he is entirely fearless of this one shot I soon give him two, then three and so on till all danger of shyness has passed. Do not imagine that because a young dog will stand one Bhot without showing fear that he will surely stand three or more. Many times 1 have seen a puppy show no fear at all of the tirat or even the second shot and yet become terribly gun- Bhy from "blazing away" over him. When your dog once becomes confirmed in gun-shyness or game shyness there is but one course to pursue that I am aware of if you wish to cure him of his fault. Never shoot over him at all until he becomes deeply interested in hunt- ing. Let him find birds several times before you shoot, and when you do shoot let it be bufone shot, of wood powder, at a safe distance from and not over your puppy. Do not Bhoot again under any circumstances until the effects of this shot have passed off and your puppy has several ti7uee found or stumbled on game. When you shoot if your dog runs away from yon do not call him or make any fuss about him . Just work abofit in that neighborhood till he comes to you again, and then appearand act quite natural and indifferent, neither scolding nor applauding him for bis conduot. With a shy dog you will often learn the location of game by seeing him drop his tail and sknlk away from the place. I always let him alone, flush the game if possible, and pass along as if nothing had happened. After several repetitions of this the dog usually steals up and takes a scent. Soon he will potter a bit on it; finally he will stand away from the birds instead of running, and eventually he will point them. During all these stages of advancement, nothing by way of encouragement or otherwise should be said until he stands on the birds. Then you can applaud him as much as you feel inclined to. which is likely to be a great deal; as you will be so pleased with the progress made. Let it be remembered that profuse patting and encourage* meat out of place are just as likely to create diatrnst and doubt in a young dog as harsh treatment is to confirm his timidity, and it is certain ruin to arouse a dog's suspicion by uncommon praising where it is not deserved, and then change this puerile treatment to harshness and abase when consequent anger comes on account of the doubting, nervous animal's failure to be inspired by the very cause of his dia- trnst. Be consistent with your dog. Do not applaud him when he does not deserve applause; do not correct him unless you understand his error; do not punish him unless you are sure he is aware of the cause of his punishment, and never under any circumstances abuse him. Be firm and unswerv- ing in your command and let your dog become habituated to obedience. Be appreciative of his good conduct. Never let his bad actions pass unnoticed, but always be merciful when he appeals to you and he will love and obey you naturally." Mr. Howard Vernon's very fine pointer bitch EeUe V, wa^ run over by a reckless driver on Montgomery Btreet on Sat- urday last, and in the opinion of the veterinary will lose the litter of puppies by Tom Pinch with which she was heavy. Mr. Vernon will attempt to enforce the law against the man whose carelessness caused so great damage. The club room of the Student and Sportsman's Club of Bakersfield was destroyed by fire on Wednesday last, together with the Ingleside Hotel and several other wooden structures. A year ago the club was burned out, and lost many hundreds of dollars worth of furniture, pictures, guns, etc. With com- mendable energy, its leading members at once Bet about its regeneration, and the result was that in January last it moved into the commodious and elegant quarters just destroyed. It is probable that the plucky men who stood by before, will again set the club on its feet. We trust to receive adviceB from Mr. W. E. Houghton about his plans for the club. Mr. H. T. Payne of Los Angeles has recently purchased for Mr. W. G. Kerkhoff of that city an English setter of the rarest excellence. The dog was bought in Tennessee and is by Gladstone's Boy out of Ruby D. Gladstone's Boy is by Gladstone — Sue and is a full hroth er to Dan Gladstone now at stud at 844 Harrison St., San Francisco. Kuby D. is by Sportsman out of Gem, Sportsman by Gladstone — Sue and Gem by Gladstone out of Gazelle by Druid — Jolly May. The dog is one-half Gladstone and in other strains is most excellently bred. Fortunately there are many very tine Enelish setter brood bitches in Southern California, and when the recent purohase reaches two or three years of age he can be properly util'zed. The dog will run in the Pacific Coast Field Trials Derby of 1892. Mr. George W. Bassford writes from Vallejo: I have the finest pack of beagles in the State, some 15 in number, all are bitches but two. This is a breed of dogs Ihfifc are not appreciated in thisState. Let me say here, for Babbits or Grouse they are Bimply immense, the only fault is they don't know when to quit, and for deer, well Joe Bassford, Dr. Dobbins, Mr. Corn, Beeoh BaBBford and a few more went deer hunting last week. They took S of the beagles and four deer hounds they ran a number and killed two. The beagles stayed with the big dogs and ran them off their feet, and one of the beagles led the pack. She is out of Daisy 11, and by Duffer he by Bannerman Jr. and she weighs 11$ lbs., and is 11 in. high. This may seem like blowing but the facts can be proven. Beech says he could have shot another deer but wanted to see the devils ran. Since losing my pointer Blossom I have lost some of the in- terest I once had in doggy matters but will pulljmyself togeth- er Borne day. My Derby winners pointed and backed for the first time last week, first time oat too. Between four and five months ago Mr. P. D. Linville of this city lost an English setter bitch, Florine by name, by Carl R — Bessie. The bitch won first in the open class for English setter bitches at the San Francisco Dog Show of 'S9, and was generally admitted to be quite a model in the breed. The Iosb was noted at the time, and general regret expressed. A general watch was kept for the bitch by sportsmen, but af- ter three months she was given up. Mr. 3. G. Wilder, a prominent business man of Honolulu, chanced to see Florine while on a vi.-it to Sin Francisco, and upon his return to Honolulu in July he found an animal there in possession of Mr. W. M. Cunningham, which fie thought was Florine. He did not know tho bitoh had been lost, but upon learning that she had been, he interviewed Mr. Cunningham, and that gen* tleman explained fully how he came to have her. He had bought her from a sailor for a small sum. When told about Mr. Linville's loss, he expressed the utmost willingness to return the animal, and in fact did ship her to Mr. Linville by the steamship "Australia, " which arrived from Honolulu on Friday of last week. Florine was in fine condition, and none the worse for the trip. The acts of Mr. Wilder and Mr. CnDningham are in the highest degree commendable and stamp them both sportsmen in the truest sense. English setter fancier.s will join in congratulating Mr. Linville npon the recovery of so grand a speoimeu as Florine.

If he will, we can assure him a reception, warm after its kind- A curious complication recently arose about a dog at Gait. Mr. Horace Lawrence of this city recently purchased a dog bred at Los Angeles the sire being an English setter and the dam an Irish Better. The dog was sent to Mr. M. D. Walter at Gait to be liroken. In some way a description of the dog reached Doctor H. F. Philips of Stockton who had lost a reddish dog some months ago. The express agent at Gait re- fused to deliver the dog to Mr. Walter and held it until Doc- tor Philips arrived from Stookton. The Doctor was sure he recognized the dog and the animal seemed to know him. That there is a mistake somewhere there can be no doubt. Mr. Lawrence is not the sort of man to buy or own a dog ir- regularly, nor is Doctor FhilipB at all capable of making a claim which he did not believe right. The matter will be inquired into by both gentlemen and an amicable adjustment reached. It does seem queer that the express agent should have felt at liberty to set himself up as a magistrate and de tain property in traDsit; but he was probably working within the rules of his employers. ROD. It is worth nothing that mackerel of fine quality are being taken about Monterey. They take the hook freely. We are credibly informed that people living along the Lob Gatos Creek, in Santa Clara County, have repeatedly blasted that stream with Giant powder. If this be true, there is Blight encouragement to the Fish Commission to place fish in that creek. Fred Holland, Ed. Cahill and several other well known amateur sports hired a yacht on last Saturday evening and set sail for California City where they spent the night. Sun- day morning the party started in to empty the bay of its un- offensive little rock-cod but in the course of a couple of hours gave up the task as hopeless. The catch amounted to two hundred and fifty pounds, which included two heavy an- chors. During the week, Chief of the Fish Commission Patrol, Fred P. Callundan, and Inspector Ennis have overhauled Russian River and broken up the fish dams which are yearly constructed by the Indians, They found a great many of the dams, which are made of willow twigs stuck in the bed of the river, with openings at intervals through which fish pass into wicker baskets from which they cannot escape. The Indians also take great quantities of fish by using amole, a plant which, when crushed and infused in the stream, intoxicates all fish which it reaches, bringing them to the surface, where they are scooped in by the Indians. The amole also kills all insect life where it is used, and by thns removing the food of the fish, drives them to the lower reaches of the river or to the sea. Russian River is one of the grandest trout Btreams, naturally, that ever man wet a line in, being large in volume, running over rock and gravel, and in early years was full of fine trout, where now comparatively few are to be found. Unless the Indian curse is done away with, it is not worth while to stock the river. It is probable, however, that the vigorous efforts of Chief Callundau and Mr. Ennis will revive the ancient glories of old Russian River. Despite the cyoles devoted to study of fish by scientifically aconrate men there yet remain some mooted questions,such toT instance as whether fish can distinguish colors and whether they hear. The most recent contribution is made by Dr. J. Brunton, whose researches are commented upon in the En- glish Fishing Gazette. Dr. Brunton argues strongly for the importance of color in flies, instancing an occasion upon whioh he was fishing without success until a friend, whoPe basket was fast filling, gave him a fly, pale green in color when wet, the body being tied of raw China silk; with that fly the doctor had great sport. On another occasion he hap- pened to have on a Red Tag and a Yellow Tag at the same time and found the yellow preferred. He thinks that English trout have a predilection for certain colorB, and that those are green and red. Dr. Brunton is of the opinion tbat fiBk posessea a very delicate sense of smell, citing the strong at. traction that the strong flavored prawn has for sa'inon and strong cheese for chub. As to the sense of hearing he de- monstrates the fallacy of the idea that fish are either attrac ed by some sounds, such as music, or alarmed by others. He believes that noises do not affect fish as noises, but solely be- cause the viabrations which they cause are communicated by land and water as media to the fish. They do not hear the angler's tread but do feel it. We have very often used flie precisely alike as to form, and on hooks of the same size, the only difference heing in color, and have found one color to take well while another afforded no sport whatever. As be- tween the Black Ant, for instance, and the Red Ant on the River of Sonoma.usiug them togetber.the black as a stretcher and the other as a hand fly, the hand fly took ten fish, to one which rose to the black fly. Changing them about the red fly was still quite the thing; when two Red Ants were put on, the basket soon contained ten or twelve pounds of small trout. The most exquisite thing in the way of a reel that has ever come to our notice was shown at Messrs, Clabrougb, Golcher & Co 's by Mr. Charles H. Ohm on Tuesday last. Mr. Ohm is a manufacturing jeweller, and possesses inventive genius of the highest order. At one time he constrnctod a machine to braid fishing Hue that was a marvel of skill, and was said by several authorities to be the best appliance of the sort they had ever seen. The reel mentioned is made of alaminum bronze, German silver and hard rubber. It ib about five inches in diameter, being intended for Bea bass and salmon fishing, and is a multiplier. It can be used either ae a click or plain reel, and has the best drag we have ever seen. Mr. Ohm has promised us a technical description of his most ingenious work which embodies several new principles. California is not alone in suffering from the carelessness of citizens about protecting and preserving fish and game, as witness these remarks from the Great Falls Leader, Oregon. Speaking of the rapidly decreasing number of trout streams, that journal says that the people will wake up some morning and wish thej h*id given a little attention to this matter before it was too late. There has beeD mnoh said about the destruction by giant powder and other explosives, and it has done a vast deal of good in arousing popular sen- timent to apply the law. However, there is no law to stop the same reBoll by irriga- ting ditches. The owners ought to have sense enough to provide against this difficulty, but it seems that they will not. In front of each ditch at the entrance to the stream a boom is set against the current. This practically diverts the course of the water, which runs iu a half current into the ditch. The trout naturally follow this flow of the stream and run over on the land where they die. A gentleman who recently visited the Kleiosohmidt ditch at Cascade, say* he saw thousands of trout lying dead over on the land. linn destruciion can be stopped in a very simple and inexpensive way. All that is necesBary is a wire screen in front ot the ditoh at the entrance to the stream. This will not stop the flow of the wat>-r, but it will keep the 1'sh in their natural channel. It is difficult to understand how owners of ditches will allow this to go on when they have no use for the tiRh destroyed. In some cases this may be the result of careless - nesn on tbeir part. At any rate, owners should remedy 1 1 matter at once, and the next Legislature should pass a 1 making the placing of screens oompulsory . 136 ^Ixc Ihxcdxv ami Jvpovtsuvau.

The progeni- tors of this herd were selected of the choicest strains upon the famous breeding establishments East, and have been judiciously crossed with a view to develop to the fullest extent the milking strains. Mr. White has expended a large sum of money and great care in perfecting this band of cattle, and can justly claim it as one of the superior h^rds of the United States- Catalogues are being prepared and will be sent on application only.

Sidney (Memo's sire) is universally known as the best young sire in 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 race on the Bay District Track, the second heat of which was made in 2:31. 1-2, the first iu2 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 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 four-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- H. B. A. meeting, but after suowiugseveral very fa6t miles 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 in all that coula be desired, and hiB action superb. He is a sure foal getter, only one mare being reported not in foal during his last season. TERMS, $100, with usual return privileges, for a limited number of mares. Season to close JUNE 15th, when he will be prepared for track purposes. Tastarage J5 per month, fciave leased the cricket ground adjoining the track for pasturage, where there is flue feed. Reasonable charges if fed hay and grain. Best or care taken of mares iu any manner owners may desire, bat positively no responsioility assumed for acci- leuts or escapes.

The attendance at the Park was much better all day. In the morning awards were made in the horse and several of the cattle classes, and quite a large gathering was on the grounds to witness the decisions. After luncheon a goodly nnmbtr of spectators packed the various stands almost to overflowing, while on the ground was a representative gath- ering of the spotting element. The programme was a rather lengthy one two Fpeelal races being included the evening previous, and greatly to the disappointment of many of the spectators tbey were placed in front of the regular races which were crowdei up at the end of the day when most of the spectators wished to go home. The judges were T. S. Mont- gomery, S. C. Crittenden and P. J. Mnrphy. Timers, G. Van Gordon, W. Ba'-coek and D. Hanks, The first of the special races was for a purse offered by the association, the or ject being to give a record to Baywood, a bay stallion by Nutwood out of a George M Patchen. Jr. mare. He is owned by Mr. E. Smith and was driven by T. Griffin; evidently he had been overestima'ed, for in the first heat he won by three lengths from E. S. Gould's Wilming- ton by Nephew, driven by Havey. while the other contestant, Fred Stockton's Myron, was distanced, but Baywood wss not in it thereafter. Time, 2:37. The second heat was won by Wilmington who kept about three lengths behind uotil the homestretch when Havey crawled vigorously and forci- bly after him and after a severe punishing won the heat by half a length. Time, 2:33. The third heat resulted the Bame way, Havey led to the half, when Griffin closed up and both kept together into the homestretch and with both leaving their feet at the dis- tance Havey's superior generalship landed the heat and race for Wilmington in 2:33}. The match race, $100 a side, between C. H. Corey's San Jose and Billy C. resulted in a walk over for the former, Billy C. paying forfeit. The regular programme was then started with the 3:00 class, which had three starters, the hitherto invincible San Mateo Stock Farm entering the fonr year old mare Una Wilkes, Percy Williams entering Beaury Mc (Beauregard McMallen) a four-year old Nephew gelding, and J. Moran being represented by Ed. Fay, an aged geld- ing. Betting on the previous evening had been fast and furious, Percy Williams and his friends backing Beaury as though the race was over, while the general public backed Goldsmith and San Mateo, First heat. Pools settled down gradually but surely to $25— always on offer for.Beaury Mc, to $7, after a lot of rust- ling, for the held and just prior to the start'$5 was the best offer for the Held. After scoring up about half a dozen times the bell was tapped and Fay broke badly, Beaury Mc quick- ly went to the front and moving with a remarkably pure straightforward way of going had a three lengths lead ol Una at the first quarter and rating nicely along never left the race in doubt. Fay broke jost after passing the half and dropped further in the rear, while Una was driven hard by Goldsmith round the turn and up the straight only to be beaten by Beaury Mo by three lengths in a common jog, Fay sis lengths back. Time 2;28. Mutaalspaid $6.50. Second heat. Every one was now of Williams' opinion ; and no pools could be sold. All three came up level and the bell was rung. Fay again broke and fell back but Una left her feet on the turn and was passed by him while Buster out out the work in good style leading three lengths past the quarter, Fay three lengths in front of Una, the order was unchanged to the three-quarters when Una closed up on Fay but broke badly half way up the stretch and lost the place by three lengths, Beaury Mc winning the heat in a jog by two lengths. Time, 2:27*. Mutuals paid §6.10 Third h6at. No pools, no mutuals, no nothing. A long time was devoted to scoring up, but the favorite waB as steady as a rock and when the word was given went away in front and had a regular cake walk. Uoa Wilkes broke on the turn and lost sis lengths which advantage Fay retained until well past the half when he left his feet and Una got to within three lengths of him at the end of three-quarters with Beanry Mc six leng hs in front and going easy he won in a jog. The others made a pretty race for the place, Fay broke half way up the stretch and Una was level with him when he caught and both hung together to the drawgate when they broke together and Fay catching jnst before the wire got the place by a neck.

The second race, pacing, 2:30 class, had four starters. Princ- ess Alice the Stockton maie was eventually made favorite at S30 to $20 for Rupe", a three year old son of Guy Wilkes, and $3 for the field, which included the ultimate winner Hum- mer by Sidney. After scoriog up a few times Kneier — better known as Bio Vista George, pulled up short after going past the wire and Garrity ran into him and broke his sulky axle. The mare stood perfectly still and was soon unhi'ched and new Bulky brought. After a tedious scoring a good start was effected. The Stockton mare going very fast showed the way with her drivers face wreathed/ in smiles. At the quar. ter the Princess was going very smoothly two lengths in front of Rupee same ahead of Hummer who broke before the turn was neared, and T. B.who had broken all to pieces dead out of the race. Hummer and Kupee both broke before the next furlong was paced and were seven lengths behind the Princess when Hummer settled down and went in pursuit but before the half was reached George had driven the mare off her feet in a Jimtown break and she had to be pulled al- most to a walk and when started in pursuit Hummer was ten lengths in the lead with Kupee three infront of the mare. The Princess closed up on Rupee and was at his wheel at the three quarters and passed him in the homestretch but break" ing badly again, allowed Hammer to win as he pleased by seven lengths from Ropee with Princess pulled up sis further back and T B distanced. Time 2:23J. Mutaalspaid $59.60. Second heat.— Pools sold rapidly with Hummer a hot fav orite at $50 to $27 Rupee and $15 Princess Alice. Gradually however weight of money brought the odds down and Hum mer sold in the last few pools at $25 to $20 Rupee and $12 Princess Alice. At the request of the owner Buster McCon. nell drove Princess Alice. A start was soon effected. Hummer left his feet before the turn, but caught handily, and passing Rupee, was a leng h and a half in the lead at the quarter, with the Princess last, two lengths in the rear. Boater straightened the mare out in the backstretch, and displaying a grand burst of speed, Bho past Ropee who broke and Hummer took the pole at the half, but broke before the turn, and was again passed by Hummer, who led her by two lengths at the head of the stretch, with Ropee seven lengths further back. The Prin. cess closed up rapidly in the straight, and a hundred yards from home was in front, but breaking badly forty yards from the wire, was passed by Hammer, who left his feet but caught quickest, and won the heat, with the mare pulled to a walk; Kupee barely saved his distance. Time, 2:20£. Mutuals paid $19. Third heat — Hummer was now made a pronounced favor- ite, selling at $30 to $10 for PrincesB Alice and $3 for Rupee, A start was effected at tbe Becond time of asking. Hammer again proved himself a handy breaker by leaving his feet before the turn, and catching in time to pass the quarter three lengths in front of the mare, with Rupee eight lengths back. Princess broke at the three furlong pole, and Hummer paced clean away, having a ten lengths lead on the turn, and winning the heat, pulling up by four lengths from Princess, who beat Rupee half a dozen longths for the place.

The afternoon programme started out with a two and a quarter mile race which was won by Elmwood Stables black horse Index. The stable ran two hoases against Appleby's Wild Oats and made the running with Nabeau while Index lay back until the last time ap the stretch when he came away running easily. The sensation of the day was when Captain Al beat Raindrop a mile and a quarter. The filly fairly romped awayfrom Caplain Al on Tuesday at a mile and an eighth, but to day seemed out of all form and after the colt had carried her half a mile he had her beat. It was a simple case of the mare being out of form, for irrespective of every thing else there was no money in losing as only a few pools were sold. The balloon ascent attracted a large crowd who seemed so satisfied that an extra ascent was made at four o'clock. First race. — When the horses were called up for the first race a long delay occured while the track was harrowed up on the inside. Meantime pool se liDg was fairly brisk at $20 f ji Wild Oats and S15 for the Btable. When fhe two were eventually started Nabeau was sent out to make the running and passed the stand fighting for his head half a length in front of Wild Oats with Index two leDgths back. The leader increased his advantage to three leDgths on the lack stretch, with Index three further back. Nabeau passed the quarter post fouropen lengths in front in 1:47 j and going easy passed the stand three lengths to the good with Index going strong rive leDgths further in the rear. Wild Oats closed up and going down the back stretch took the lead while Courtney moved upon Index and collaring Wild Odts on the turn went past him and won in a gallop by two leDgths, Wild Oats six in front of Nabeau.

Appleby's three-year-old filly Junietta— a sister to Alfaietta— by Wildidle, dam by Monday, from Mary Givens, and W. Maston's ch g Reginald by Joe Hooker, out of Dolly Varden. The Hooker gelding was made a hot favorite on the Elmwood Stable's blk g Index, W. L. Appleby's b g Wild Oats', .Cota 3 strength of having made an unsuccessful Eastern trip with W. M. Murry; he sold for $50 to §30 for Yinco, and $11 for Junietta. The flag fell at the first attempt, with Yinco a good length the best of it. Vinco soon increased his advan- tage to three leDgths, with Eeginald second, three in front of Junietta. The order was unchanged to the stretch, when Junietta, under persuasion., joined Reginald, and after a sharp tussle, beat him an open length for the place, Yiuco winning the race in a canter by two lengths.

The three-year-old race had only two starters, and as Cap- tain Al had been bo easily beaten by Raindrop on Wednesday, jt was hard work for the pool sellers to find the five dollar end against $25 for Raindrop. Mr. Owen told Hennessy to carry Raindrop as fast and as far as he could, and right well did he do it, for when the flag fell they started away well, and ran head and head past the stand and round the turn into the backstretch, when Captain Al went away from the filly, and was three leDgths in front before the turn was reached. The race was all over now, as the non-favorite romped home an easy winner by three lengths. Time, 2:124. Mutuals paid $21.30. SUMMARY.

The Bix furlong repeat, with four starters, was the best bet- ting race of the day. Ida Glenn sold choice, while Installa- tion brought more money every time, until at last Installa- tion sold choice for $100, Ida Glenn for $50, and the field $30. After a few breakaways the flag fell, with Glenn a good length in front of the next two, and Installation two lengths fur- ther back. Installation went past the other two before the first quarter, but could never eatoh Glenn, who won cleverly by a length, with Albatross just saving his distance and Serpolette outBide. Time, 1:15. 206 tickets sold in mutuals paid $11.90 on the winner. Second heat. Pools now sold $20 for Glenn, $12 for In- stallation and S5 for Albatross but gradually settled down to $20 each for Installation and Glenn and $7.50 for Alba- tross. The flag wa6 soon dropped, Installation and Alba- tross going out ran head and head to the head of the stretch with Glenn three leDgths behind, Installation came away winning easily by three lengths. Glenn ridden bard the last fifty yards got the place by a head. Time, 1:16 J. Mutuals paid $7.90. The judges put Murphy on Glenn instead of Mcintosh as the starter stated that Mcintosh did not try to get away. The owner said he instructed the boy to lay the heat up which was legitimate under the circumstances. Despite the change of riders, pools sold freely at $30 Installation to $12 Glenn When the flag fell Glenn had a length the best of it, and in- creasing it to two lengths at the half was never headed, win- ning cleverly by a length and a half. Time, 1:16*. Mutuals paid $12 40. SUMHABY. Selling purse, $200, of which $50 to second horse, for all ages.

The officials for the day were Judges, President W. Buck- iey,C. M. Chase and E. B. Gifford. Starter, G. Van Gordon Saturday. The closing day of the fair brought a goodly crowd of spectators to the track, and although when raciDg should have started at l o'clock very few were present, by the time the first race was called the various stands were tilled almost to repletion. The judges were President W. Buckley, E. C. SiDgletary and C. M. Chase. Timers, W. A. Parkhurst, E. Topbam and Martin Carter. The first race. 2.24 class, was called up at fifteen minutes past one, and after scoring up once Shamrock lost a boot and oaused a further delay of 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pools were Belling rapidly at $25 Sister to $S the field. When the quintette appeared again a good deal of time was used in scoring up and it was almost 2 o'clock before the five were sent off, Sister on the inside set the pace with Argent lapped on her to the turn when she drew away passing the quarter three lengths in front, Argent second three in front of Mary Lou with Pink two lengths further back and Sbani- rock who broke badly on the turn, a bad last. The order was UDchanged down the back stretch, and though Argent skipped once or twice he kept his place three lengths behind Sister V to the three quarters. Sister went in front, win ning easily by three lengths. A hard race was fought out for second position, but Mary Lou collared Argent and he broke at the drawgate was passed by Lou'and Pink who fin- ished a length apart, same third and fourth, Shamrock jnst inside. Time, 2:24. 163 tickets sold in the mutuals paid $6.90. Second heat. A few pools wereBold at $50 Sister V to $12 the field. After a loDg and tedious scoring the bell was tapped with Shamrock trotting well, and he challenged Sister for the lead to the turn when he broke but caught fairly well while Sister went on passing the quarter in front of Pink a length ahead of Shamrock with Mary Lou on his wheel and Argent three lengths back. Shamrock broke badly :ind dropped out of the race while the order down the backstretch and round the turn was Sister, Pink, Lou and Atgent at in- tervals of three lengths. Holly brought Pink up with a rush the last fifty yards and finished a scant length behind Sister pulling up. with Lou three lengths back third and Argent fourth. Shamrock jnst Baved his distance. Time, 2:25}, 1G3 tickets Bold in the mutuals paid $7.10. Third heat no pools were sold. After very little scoring the word was given, Sister and Shamrock again goiDgout together to the turn where Sham rock broke aud Sister led by three lengths into the back- stretch, Pink second a length in front of Argent four in ad- vance of Lou and Shamrock both breaking, Tink gained a little on Sister down the back stretch and was only two lengths behind when the homestretch was reached and closing the gap well was almost on even turns at the draw- gaU when she left her feet and though she caught cleverly was beaten three-qaarters of a length, Argent was third lengths back with Mary Lou a length further back and Sham- rock juBt inside the flag.

Thfc Free for all which bad been expected to produce a great contest proved a hollow victory for Aimont Patchen. St. Pat- rick could not be kept Bteady at ill aud in his work drive by Goldsmith had acted so badly that pools sold $20 Patchen to 58 for the field. A report that Patchen was lame caused the field to sell even up for a while but eventoally a reaction set in and Patchen left off favjrite;at $20 to $12 for the field. St. Patrick broke the first conple of times scoring up and when a skirt was made again broke all to pieces and was fifty yards behind Winslow at the quarter who was three behind Pat- chen in thirty five seconds. Patchen passed the half io 1.11 three lengths in front of Winslow with Patrick way back. Patchen stayed in front the rest of the way winning the heat in a jog by two leDgths Winslow second and Patrick who wai up and down all the way jnst inside the flag. Time 2:26, 1S9 tickets sold in the mutuals paid $7.40 Second heat— No pools told. The first time up Winslow broke then St. Patrick spoilt two starts by breaking badly. The fourth time they were sent out St. Patrick again broke badly and was never in the heat while Patchen had an easy thing, leading Win=low two lengths he passed the quarter .35 the half in 1:11, the three quarters io 1:46^ and won eas* ily by three lengths, St. Patrick just inside. Time 2:22. 116 tickets sold in mutuals paid $6.00 Third heat — No pools sold. St. Patrick broke btfore the wire was reached in the first three attempts, and came up behind in the fourth. Patchen broke in the sixth, aud at the ninth time the bell was tapped, with St. Patrick in a bad break— all taDgled up. Patchen went away a leDglhin fronl of WiDslow and increased it to three at the first quarter in 34}. The half was passed in 1:0S* with Winslow two and ft half lengths behind, ;md Patrick 100 yards back. Patchen paced very smoothly in front of Winslow round the turn, and despite McCords effort, won cleverly by a leDgth and a half, St. Patrick 150 yards back, but not distanced on ao- oount of the bad send off he got.

After a good deal of backing and filling pools sold Chancellor $25, Emerson $15, Field $10. At about 5:15 a start was made; every one of the big rive broke before the turn was reached, bat Rockwood caught handily aud had three lengths the best of Chancellor at the quarter, with Tommy T third aud Emerson last.

Rockwood going ' right ont led Emerson three lengths into the backstretch with Chancellor three lengths further back. Emerson left his feet ilmost immediately, and was passed by Chancellor, who went round the turn three lengths behind Eockwood and 'ihree in front of the other pair. Chancellor gradually over- hauled Rockwood, getting his nose in front at the drawgate, when the pace told, and he left his feet, Riekwood winning he heat oy a longish length, Chancellor second three lengths n front of Emerson, same in advance of Bessie. Time, 2:35. ;tlutnals paid $16 60. Third heat. — In what few prjols were sold Chancellor sold • ur $20 to $15 for the field. After a couple of attempts the ipiartette left on their way to the winning post. Chancellor bowed more speed than usual at the beginning, and took he pole before the quarter was reached. Down the back tretch he led Rockwood a scant length with Emerson three engths further in the rear, and Bessie last. Rounding the urn Chancellor increased his lead to a good length and nrned into the stretch, a length and a half in front of Rock- I food, who broke half way up the stretch, Lut caught handily, nd was level again inside the drawgate when he again broke, csing the heat by a neck with Bessie, who had come in . clatter on the ontside the last fifty yards, beaten a head for >ecjnd place, a claim of foul was made by Coffin, who said he aght to have had room to ccrue through on the inside, as fhen he turned into the stretch there was a chat course, was ol allowed.

There were six start- ers. Castella for $20, John L. S12, Acrobat $6, field SS, with Haverly, Lewis and Gerster in it. First heat— Castella was first at the one-half mile pole, with Lewis lapped; the rest strung out in the stretch. Lewis out-paced Castella and won by a length from Castella, Ger- ster third, Haverly fourth, Acrobat fifth, John L distanced. Time, 2:30. Second heat— Pools sold on Lewis for $20, Castella $15, field $10. Sullivan in place of Downer behind Haverly. They all got a good send off, and as Sweeny drove wide on the turn, Sullivan shot in next to the pole with his new mount, and kept the lead to the head of the stretch, Castella close up, but Lewis made a spurt and won by a length. Time, 2:291. Third heat— This heat was a hot contest between Castella and Haverly all the journey, Castella winning by half a length, Gerster third, Lewis just inside the flag, Acrobat dis- tanced. Time, 2:29. Fourth heat — Lewis was the only steady one, the rest breaking repeatedly, and he won by two lengths. An unavoidable accident occurred in the last heat of the race. Tryon's Castella swerved and caught his wheel on Haverly's, driven by Sullivan. The wheel was turned inside out, all of the spokes being torn from the hub. Tryon struck on his feet and stayed with Castella. Neither was injured by the accident. SUMMARY. Free for all; pacing. Purse 33(0. J. Sweeney's b g Sam Lewis, Echo— unknown Sweeney 114 1 S. O .

John Goldsmith says that the three-year-old filly by Guy Wilkes, out of Blonde by Elmo, which is entered as Serena should be Serene, and was entered as such. It has often bee u asked: "What is in a name?" John thinks that under the new Dame Serene may not bob up serenely. C. A Hogoboom left for Portland last Saturday, having in charge E. H. Mix's stable of trotter*, consisting of J S. C, Electrify and Challenger Chief. J. S C. is entered in the 2:26 class at Portland and also in the same class at the State Fair. Electrify is entered in the 2-year-old race at Portland. Lewis Martin's colt Extravagance, who fell and was injured in a race at Brighton Beach, received injuries that proved fatal. The oolt was by Spendthrift, out of Miss Eiston. The jockey Flv nn, who was injured in the race, was more serious- ly hurt tbau was supposed at first, and it will be some time before he can ride agaio. The summary of the last lace, a selling race, at San Jose last Wednesday was owing to faulty race cards and no cor- rection on the official blackboard, given as Tycoon $1250 112 Ids., Nabeau $1150, 110 lbs, Wild Oats $1250, 110 lbs.: it should have read, Tycoon S 1500, 112 lb3., Nabeau $800, lOOlbs., Wild Ojts $1000, 100 lbs. The proposed sale of Hal Pointer was consummated at the Boffalo Driving Park, Thursday. The campaigner was sold to a syndicate composel of John X S:itcherd, Harry Ham- lin and George Porter, and turned over to the Ryndioate Saturday. The price was $7,500 ne U a son of Tom Hal, and last year his record was an enviable one. Percy Williams owns a two and a three year old colt, full brothers to Beanry Mc who U capable of going much faster than he did at San Jose hist week, in fact his was the easiest win I have seen for some time. Mr. Williams also owns the dam of Eeaury Mc, a mare by Alexander 490. She is in foal to Nephew and was purchased from Beauregard McMollen. Lord March, one of the stewards of the English Jockey Club, would, sBys a gossip, like to see a rule passed making it compulsory to name horses before entering them, and pro- hibiting the silly repetition of famcus names. Why doesn't he bring forward the proposition, then? It would be a very good rule to pass and would reflect credit on the originator. John Ojborne, who rode Aperse to victory at Newton last month, won the Manor Cup at Newton forty-one years ago on his fathers horse, Pity the Blind. Mr. Osborne then presented the Cup to his son, which he still keeps as a family heirloom. Inthe same year "Master John" also won the Liverpool Cnp on Bon Mot. "The pusher" is evidently still in the first flight. Having disposed of Longshot, Mr. W. H. E. Smith has de- cided not to go East with Al Farrow, and as a result that fast horse will race at West Side Park, Chicago, until the opening of the fall campaign at Louisville Several parties desiring to take the horse East have made nattering offers for him, but as yet no one has reached Mr. Smith's figure, which is said to be $10,000, and cheap enough he is at the price. May Day, 2:30, the dam of Mr. Salisbury's Margaret S-, who won the Horseman Stakes this year, and the Spirit of the Times Stakes last year, was purchased by Mr. Salisbury from the late Alden Goldsmith, and John Goldsmith, who was at that time driving the iron horse Director for Mr. Sal- isbury, entered the mare with Director into both the- above Btakes, with the result that the now celebrated Margaret S. captured both events. Westminster Stock Farm, Fayette County, has sold to Sutherland Benjamin, Saginaw, Mich., the bay stallion Elected, five years old, by Electioneer; first dam Cora by Don Victor; second dam ClaTa Belle by Abdallah Star; third dam Fairy (own sister to Sweepstakes) by Rysdyk's Hamble- tonian; fourth dam Emma Mills b> Seeley's Americau Star. Price, $10,000. This is a promising son of Electioneer, and should make a great reputation in the stud. The important news has been flashed from one end of the country to the other that Tenny is named after bis owner, David Tenny Polsifer. and that Salvator got Lis name "in honor of a favorite butler of Mrs. J .B. Haggin's father", says the Breeders Gazette. JuRt how many butlers the father of Mrs. Haggin had is not known, but fmm the fact that it is distinctly stated that the colt was named after the favorite one it is assumed that the old gentleman kept a stock of but- lers constantly on hand. The starting at San Jobo was fairly well attended to by George Van Gordon, the Superintendent of Senator Hearst's ranch iu San Luis Obispo. Mr. Van Gordon will find, how ever, that if he takes a large field in a sprint race a hundred yards behind the post, and goes back with them himself, he will not be able to get as good a start as he would if he stood half way and let his assistant take them back. Some horseo, too, don't relish running half afurlong further than they are sup- posed to. The race track at Sin Jose will require a great deal of a^ tention before another meeting will be successfully heln\ It is just as hard as bed rock and in consequencs several runners were badly used up while Raindrop could hardly raise a gallop last Friday. What the track needs is to be dug up toe good deptn and reelayed, which, although rather ex- pensive work has to be done, or the San Jose Assoc:ation will find very few runners at their spring meeting. The report published in the Conrier-Journal, stating that Mr. Hart Bnawell had sold his celebrated trotting mare Nancy Hauk6 is untrue. Mr. Boswell says that he has not sold bis pet, and has no id^a of parting with her. The Lexing- ton Gazette says: Nancy Hanks is probably the best trotter of her age in Kentucky, and it is expected that before this season close*, Bhewill have a record of 2:15. Good jndges of horse flesh say she is the easiest going trotter they ever looked at. Five horses, the property of Chinn & Morgan, (hat were injured in the WabaBh wreck on June 8, were sold at auction on the Fair Grounds. St. Louis. August 14th. They were bid in by attorney JameB O. Broadhead, who represented the above firm. The lot comprised the following: Mary Mc Cowan, by Longfellow, dam imp. Encore; Josie M., by Iro quois, d*m MaryMashon; St. Bridget, bv Leonatus, dam Betty Magruder; Leo, by Leonardo, dam by Tenbroeck; Oklahoma, by Leonatus, dam Martina. John Goldsmith worked Stamboul an easy mile at San Jose last Saturdav morning, going to the half in 1:16}, and com- ing home in 1 :09 Everyone agreed that they had never seen the handsome stall ton work so easily and quietly, and although the time was not fast for a horse like Stamboul, yet the resolu'e. straightforward manner in which be negotiated the last half, showed him and his driver to be on such good terms with each other, that prognostications were uttered that would astonish some uf our readers. Goodwood Races were established by the third Duke of Richmond towards the end of the eighteenth century. The founder ol this now fashionable meeting died in 1806 with- out issue, and the title devolved upon his nephew, General Lennox, wbo did much to carry out his uncle's intentions, and he succeeded iu turning the G^odwond week, which at first had only alocal interest. into an important racing fixture, from which the present Duke probably derives a very hand- some revenue. Mr Hamlin, the Buffalo millionaire, and owner of Belle Hamlin and a hoBt of crack trotters, has pirted company with bis well known trainer, W. J. Andrews, who has bandied many of the Village Farm c*aAks. Mr. Hamlin accused An- drews of not driving to instructions when he won the second heat in the 2:17 pace in 2:16$, and claimed that if he had laid up the heat he could have won. The result of the argument was that Andrews left and Count Valentin at once engaged hira to come to Pleasanton, French Park. King Bin— Lou Pike the thoroughbred stal- lion recentlv purchased from Mr. Gideon by Charles Reed k. Sous of the Fairview S'ock Farm in Tennessee died ten days ago. Mr. Reed paid $10,000 for him at the same time that he bought Exile for $15,000. Both horns reached their home a month ago, French Park being taken sick shortly after hiB arrival at the farm. Mr. Reed seems to be in hard luck as bis imported horse, Mr. Pickwick, died but a month or so ago, jast as bis reputation as a sire began to be established According to the Sportsman, the trotting hor*e driver who has won the most races this year is J. H. Goldsmith, who has 26 wins, eight second moneys, six third moneys and three fonilh moneys out of fifty-two starts. B. C. Stinson was sec- ond, with niDe first, five second and two third moneys out of sixteen starts. Horace Brown has had fire first, one second, two third and one fourth out of nine starts. Jack Trout has had eight first, six second, four third and six fourth moneys out of twenty-foar Btarts. Performances against time are not considered in the above list of winnings. A Nashville dispatch of August 10th says: "French Park, the stallion recently purchased by Charles Reed from David Gideon for $10,000, died this morning at Fairview from lung fever. He had been sick ever since his arrival at Gallatin about ten days ago. Mr. Reed has bad a run of bad luck re* cently. Imported Mr. Pickwick died about two weeks ago, and be lost two of his best yearlings in shipment to New York. Veterinarian Haggard held an autopsy, and said that Frecch Park bad been sick for three months, as all of his lungs were wasted and nearly gone " Matt Storo, who took a trip up to Jas- B. Chase's ranch in Sonoma, last week, says that among the youngsters there is a grand yearling, cheBtnnt colt by imported Mariner (Oatcake), from Priscilla by Tbad Stevens, from Eliza by Norfolk, from Mary Wade by Woodburn, and she out of Viola by imp Knight of St. George. With a pedigree like that he should race, and Matt says he never saw a better looker Mr. Chase also has on the ranch two iacy looking fuels, a colt and a filly by imported Friar Tuck, the former out of Mistake (WU- didle — Katy Pease), and the latter out of Arethusa (Joe Hooker — Priscilla.) "I hear," says "Atlas," "that Lord Ailesbury wrote qnite a breezy letter to the Stewards of the Jockey Club just btfore the last Newmarket Meeting, to say that he should very much like to attend the pleasant gathering behind the Ditch. and that he should, therefore, be obliged if they would re- move the interdict against his presence on the H. S'rango to say his request was not complied with." Lord Ailesbury, better known as Lord Severooke was ruled off a short lime ago for having one of his horses sUadied in a race at York, and irrespective of that, his reputation is of the worst kind.. Two of our prominent citizens, says the Woodland Demo- crat made a wager, which is rather different from any we have ever heard before The subject to be decided is which one of them is the best horse man, or rather the best driver. They will decide the matter within a few day's, notice of which will appear in the Democrat, by driving a horse over the Woodland Race course at Brown's Corner. The same horse will be driven a mile by each man, one driving one day and the other the following day, the man wbo makes the best time wins the wager. "At Kalamazoo, Mich, on the 2nd inst., the stallion An- teeo 2:16], half brother to Palo Alto, and at the head of S. A. Brown & Co.'s stud, got into the s'all of Empire, another famous stallion. The result was a terrible battle in which both animals were much injured " The above telegram has i een extensively copied throughout the United States, bnt we are glad so say that the latter part of it 1b greatly exaggerated, for the stallions were parted al- most at once, and the injury to either is but slight. It is now known beyond question that the Saratoga race* track has changed hands. Mr. Albert Spencer, owner of the principal part of the stock of the asFociation, has agreed to- the transfer. W. J. Arkell, proprietor of Frank Leslies and! Judge, has conducted the negotiatijns for the purchasers. It is believed that Pierre Lorillard and August Belmont are as- sociated with Mr. Arkell in the deal. Thousands of dollars will be spent on improvements on the track and property; new building and stand will be built, and a jockey club will be organized, and an expensive club house built. The trans- fer will take place on October 1st. The Rochester Association would have done a charitable1 | act and also have pleased its patrons bad it provided the com- piler of their programme with a dictionary and a stud book. It rattles the average student of pedigrees to learn that Frank \ Dortch's dam is by John Dillon, Cris Smith by Young WilKes* i Simmocolon'sd-im by Shackmore, Voucher by Napoltoo, NaY- idad by Wips, Palo Alto out of Winnie and Cricket's dam' by Dalton. It is to be regretted that the high class list of] entries received by the Association could not have their names and breeding placed before the public correctly, many a race goer takes his programme book, borne for future reference. Those that fly high and make the most noise in the horse 4 business tumble the quickest. A week ago McDermott was flinging out challenges at an alarming rate, offering to match Elphin against any steeplechaser on earth. His proposal! was promptly accepted and Monday at Brighton Beach EI-! phin started against Delaware and Repeater over the fall steeplechase course, about two miles and a half. Elphin'' was clearly not fit for a race, took the jnmps iu a bnogling fashion and was beaten out of sight, Delaware winning with ease, while Repeater took second even more easily. Elphin is the horse that a year or so ago it was proposed to send over to England to win the Grand National. Further changes are likely to be made this autumn in rules of raciog, and it is probable that the stewards of to the Jockey Club will suggest that the date for two-year-olds, ' and for declaring forfeits in two-year-old races which have already closed shall be altered from the first week in Janu- ary to March. This is a much more important alteration than it would appear on the surface to be; for now that sol many two-year old engagements are made in January, train-- ers find in necessary to practically put their yearlings Into training at the end of November, so as to be able to form a J rough estimate of their merits before the time comes fori nominating them. Secretary Stoddard informs the Gazette that the outlook for the coming Nevada State Fair is very bright, and that the! exhibits in the several departments promise to be larger t" ever before, so all we waut to make the Fair a success in I every particular is the people. President Gould is doing; everything in his power and working night and day, and,' with the co-opcation of the citizens of Reno will be able to give us a wf ek's rare sport a»d a big crowd ef people to en*F joy it with us. It is of more benefit to Reno than any other. plaoe in the State,' and the people should take interest' eoough to render President Gould and Secretary Stoddard all- the assistance possible. It begins to look as if a Fixing TroBt controlled the G*-and Circuit of 1890, says the American Sportsman. W. R. Arm- strong the pool seller, W. H. Crawford and Orrin Hickok are its pillars and nearly every driver of note on the Grand Circuit is on its staff fur the purpose of manipulating the public "goose." The trust was at work in Detroit, didn't miss Cleveland, although it was lightly touched, was very busy at Buffalo lust week end is caring for Rochester this week. There is no game too big for it to tackle and its "rake off" on weekly plays of $500,000 or so is quite large. It behooves clean men like Doble to stand far away from the trust, which, sooner or later, must run against a vigilant stand of judges and be brought up with a round turn. 1890 U.

The third race, half mile heats, was the event of the day, and a field of horses that would hi a credit to any track came to the post. Once again the crowd seleoted Sunday for a winner, and backed him heavily at §60 and §70 to $30 on Red Elm, Tim Murphy selling tor §20. Tho Jew found a few backers at §10. When the horses went to the post Sun- diy acted badly, as usual, throwing two of his shoes and de- laying the race for an hour aad a half. Cy Mulkey protested the race on account of the delay in starting, and the judges called the 2:24 trot, to give the runners more time. When the start was made, however, Tim Murphy took the lead, and Sunday collared him at the three-quarter post and the two came down the stretch together. Sunday appeared to lose his speed when nearing the wire.and M lrphy passed undtr the wire a winner by a leDgth, The Jew third, Bed Elm last. Bed Elm lost on the start and was unable to re cover.

This g*me between the above named teams was a truly magnificent one. A laTge crowd, attracted by the announce- ment that the new Colonels would appear, were in attendance, and were treated to an elegant exhibition, full of ginger, excitement, sharp fielding and daring base running. The pitchers did wonderful work, both being equally effective in keeping the few hitB made off them well scattered. The sup- port accorded them was excellent. The Colonels scored their only run in the first inning. C. O'Neill made a safe hit to center, and went to second on Dooley being hit by a pitched ball. Dangan then hit to Everett, who touched Dooley out, and completing a double play by throwing Duogan out to Vaach. A triple was quite possible, for Peek-a-boo immedi- ately lined the ball to Ebright to catch C O'Neill, but the Frisco Captain let the ball pass, and O'Neill tallied. In the focrth the Frisoos tied the score on Ebrigbt's safety, Loh- man's wild throw, which allowed him to take second and third and Stevens' single, which scored him. In the sixth they won the game. Stevens' hit to Cobb forced Ebright at second, but then the big Colorado back-stop stole second, took third on a passed ball, and cleverly stole home. A suc- cession of smart plays and fine head work of the pitchers prevented any more runs. The battery work of both teams, and the in fielding of Everett, McDonald and Stickney was of the most brilliant character. Stickney, C. O'Neill and Eb- right did the best hitting, which, owing to the sensational fielding, was rendered light. Cantillion and Sweeney, the new players from Terre Haute, made but a fair impression, many thinking that better talent could be procured here. The score: San Fbanoibcos. ab.b.bh.sb po.a.e.

Hapeman, the cy- . cloue, is the responsible party for the Stockton's overwhelm, ing defeat, for in the second inning he gave Bix of the , Senators their base on balls, and this, with some hitting, sent nine men across the plate. Captain Cahill then went in and although much steadier than his predecessor, was easily found for homers, triples and safeties. Hoffman pitched good ball but there was no necessity for him to exert himself. He kept the hits, however, well distributed, and did not give a Bingle base on balls. The Sacramentos played their usual fine fielding game, but one error marring a clean record, Reitz at second put up a magnificent game, accepting eleven chances, while Daly, Stapleton and Roberts bIbo distin- guished themselves. Wilson and Fodger for tbe Stocktons ; played a very acceptable game, the former being credited ' with two errors, whioh should have gone as hits. A special feature of the game was the terrific long bitting of Bowman fiori Roberts. Reitz, Stapleton. Fogarty, Wilson, Fudger and Cihill also batted stroDgly.

Sunday, August 19th 1890, at San Francisco. Seventeen runs superinduced by seventeen good solid base hits and ten very woolly errors on the part of the home team are represented in the Senaiors second column in the score of this game while the Frisco's have but a puny three to rep- resent their work at the bat. The cause of this vast difference may be attributed to pitcher Young of the home team. Young has received some awfnl drubbings at the hands of the Sen- ators but this was an exceedingly humiliating one. happen- ing in presence of folly eight thousand spectators, the major portion of whioh wanted to see Finns aggregation win. Youngs snpport was al-opoor, Ebright and Everett doing the only creditable work. On the other hand Harper was almost invincible, pitching a masterly game and keeping the hits so well scattered, that were the Friscos alone depending on their "safeties" they would have had nothing more than a string of gooss eggs to their credit. The support rendered Harper was clever and finished. At the bat Bowman led with four hits. He was followed by Goodenough, Stapleton, Roberts, Reitz, McHale and Hill, each securing two. The fielding honors were divided between Everett, Ebright and Reitz, who played wonderful ball. The catchers also did effective work. The score. SaCBAMEXTO.

Tbo Colonels defeated the Gas City boys in this game by hitting at the proper time, and Kilroys presentation of four bases on balls. Young Carsey for tbe Colonels pitched a grand game, being steady and effective throughout, and re- ceiving perfect support, not an error being made on his side. Cantillion, the new short stop, showed up well at the bat and in hiB position, while Sweeney had no chance to distin- guish himself. Lobman, Kilroy and Armstrong hit hard and well, while the fielding of McDonald, Siickney and Fogarty was magnificent. Both backstops,Lohman and Vogt, did efficient service.

Captain Stapleton being unable to play on account of the severe brnise his arm received last Sunday, while Daly was sick and had to retire early in the game, and Godar had not folly recovered from his late attack of malaria. Tne Friscos on the other hand were strengthened by the accession of Cougblan who pitched a strong game, keeping the hits well divided and leceiving grand support. Harper was touched no livelier; while the team back of him frequently blundered at opportune times for their opponents. The Friscos set- tled down to business from the ttarfc, batting in two runs in the first inning with two men onr. In the second they bunched again, and aided by McHales error of a very diffi- cult chance, three men crosaed the rubber. This was a big lead which they augmented in the fifth and tixth by three more runs, making- the score eight to nothing. The Sena- tors were not totally discouraged, however, for in the seventh Isaacson, who played in Stapleton's place, took first on balls, Koberts beautiful triple to deep center scoring him, and the "etar" fielder coming heme onRtiiz's sacrifice. In the eighth they added another, Goodetough made a hit, stole second, took third on Speer's poor throw, and tallied on Godar's double. A neat double in the ninth prevented their scoring again after securing two safe shots. Goodenoagh had three singles to his credit, all placed just out of a fielders reach. Ebrignt, Stevens, Roberts, Isaacson, Godar and Levy also hit heavily and timely. To Shea, Everett and Veach belong the intielding honors, thirty seven cf thiitv nine ohanees being accepted by this trio. Koberts and Levy also made some difficult catches in the outfield. Harper struck out thirteen men, Hill fanning four times, Sbea, Veacb, Everett and C^ughlin twice each and E right once.

THE STANDING OF THE tXUBS. The Friscos took a game from the Saoramentos Thursday which Smeared the Senators' lead slightly, but Stapleton's men are jet so far in advance that the loss ol one game has but little tfftct on them. Jt, however, brought the home team mighty close to the Oaklands, who are in second posi- tion by a small margin. The Stocktons remain stationary, end are of course, last. "With the increased strength of both the Friscos and the Colonels in the pitching department, matters may present a different aspect before long, and it will certainly be a magnificent struggle between the Sacra* mentos, Friscos and Oaklands from now on to the close of the season. the record: — (to Aug. 21st, inclusive).

Hill is a poor substitute for Hanley in the outfield, but isa fair hitter. Shaw led the Inter State League pitchers in fielding, with an average of 974. Harry Eulen (Howard) is considered the star outfielder of the Portland team. Sheridan is gaining golden opinions in the East for his efficient umpiring. Otto Young will probably seek an engagement with one of the Northern teams. Willie Walter Veach says Smalley is playing a magnificent game for Cleveland. It is reported that Leveque is dissatisfied with Salem and is soon coming home. Crosby and Morgan, the old Pioneer battery have gone to Salem to play with that team. Nick Smith is reduoing in weight and is now in condition to play ball, were he so inclined. Jo Jo Cantillian is misplaced at short field. He is an out- fielder and said to be a good one. Norman Baker has a sore arm which causes his temporary retirement from the Pittsburg team. The Sacramentos have been hitting terrificly lately. Eren Harper got in a home run last Saturday. Roscoe Coughliu took sweet revenge out of the Sacra- mentos Thursday, by pitching a masterly game. Seattle, Taeoma, Portland and Spokane are flooded with released players from the Pacific North-West League. The Oaklands plaved an errorless game at Stockton last Sunday. Reason; Norris O'Neill was not in the game. Sammy Sbaw, the Colonels new twirler, won thirteen of the last fifteen games he pitched for Terre Haute. The last game he pitched was againBt the Syracuse Stars, who were defeated 19 to 2, and who seemed bat four hits off his very deceptive delivery. While this season has, as a whole, been a disastrous one, it has confined itself principally to the Eist, and has not extended very far West. Two leagues— the North Pacitic and California— are still on earth, and are jast coining money. — Sportirjg News. Everett's second week at the bat wag a vast improvement over his first one. While not a remarkably heavy hitter, he is as gocd as the average, seldom strikicg out, and meeting the ball with grent force. He is a valuable man as an infield- er, playing the position as well as any seen here this season. In one game at Lonisville last week, Center Fielder Weaver, of the local club, made the batting record of the year off pitcher Lincoln, of Syracuse. He went sis times to bat and hit safely each time, making a single, two doubles, two trip- les and a home run, or a total of fcurteen bases. This has not been beaten in 1S90. The following are the fielding percentages gained by Swee- ney and Cantillian while with Terre Haute, of the Inter State League. Sweeney, center field, rank 11, percent 787; left field, rank 8, percent 909; right field, rank 14, percent 750. Cantillian, center field, rank 12, percent 777; right held, rank 4, peicent 900. Andy Smith, who has been frequently seen this season in a Stockton uniform, is now playing right fi;ld for Valle jo. The Sacramentos are experiencing a littlo hard luck in having Godar sick last week, and Stapleton disabled for this trip. Hughey Smith (brother Hughey) has returned home after a long but uneventful sojourn in Eastern minor league cities. Vincent Daily has been signed by the Bradford Club, of the New York and Pennsylvania League. He will play in the outfield. Ed Crane of the New Yorks was fined $10 in the Harlem Police Court for interfering with an officer in the discharge of his duty. Jce Werrickthe third baseman who was here in '86 with Jim Harts Louisvilles, has recently been released from the Baltimores. Chief Borchers continues his good pitching for Spokane. Daaneisno longer a member of the Stocktons, having been released last week. He is now working at his trad6 at harness making- Bill Smalley ranks third in the batting list of the Cleve- land team, having a percentage of 245. McKean and Virtue rank ahead of him. Carsey has been doing excellent work of late in the box for the Oaklands. In Cobb, Carsey and Shaw the Colonel has a great trio of twirlers. Ed Stapleton's arm was so badly hurt from being bit by a pitched ball that he was incapacitated from takiDg part in the past series of games. Tom Powers is playing a wonderful game at second base for the Baltimores. His hitting and basa ruuning has a2so baen exceptionally fine lately. In batting, Sweeney ranked fifteenth in the Inter State League, with an average of 288. Cantillian was thirty' fourth with 250, and Shaw fifty-second, -with a percentage of 212 to his credit. With the immense lead of the Sacramentos, the Friscos will find it a hard task to overtake them, notwithstanding their increased strength in their pitching department by the accession of McCarthy and Conghlin. The Sacramentos and StocktonB will undoubtedly play at Central Park on Sept. 8th. This will afford the San Francisco patrons an opportunity of seeing the two interior teams play together and will doubtless draw a "big crowd. Aunty — Wouldn't you like to study languages, Bobby?

As for catching they couldn't have caught the small-pox if they were locked up in a pest-hoose. — Chicago Inter Ocean. How useful Charley Sweeney would have been to the Friscos about.tbe fifth inning last Sunday when Young was being batted all over the lot by the Senators. If he couldn't win the game for them after the big lead the Sacramentos secured he would at least have prevented Stapleton's men from fattening their averages to the extent they did . Sweeney's valne waB never so apparent as when his team was in a tight hole for a hit or needed him to help them out of an uncomfortable dilemma by going in the box. In either instance he could always be depended on to fulfill his man- agers and the patrons most sangaine hopes. It does not look as though the Colonel has improved his team to any great extent by securing Cantillian and Swee- ney. Neither seem in any department superior or even the equal of mai y of the California League players of 'S7, ,S8 and '89 who are now retired, playug amateur, or distrib- uted among the major and minor leagues throughout the country. The managers have made a big mistake iu import- ing third class players to take the place of home favorites simply because their services were to be procured at a tower figure. Heretofore people were interested in particular play- ers as well as the teams, and the ceffera of the league treas- ury were swelled thereby, bat now the favorites are few, the imported players being comparitively unknown, and but little interest felt in their work individually. The baseball situation is still in as uncertain and unsatis- factory state as it has been for two months. The war be- tween the two rival organizations continues in the same per- sistent manner. Neither side has given any indications of weakening. Conflicting reports concerning the standing of both sides continue to fly thick and fast, and the only con- clusion ttat the lover of the game can come to is that the baseball business this year consists mainly of misrepresenta- tions and falsehoods. The National League people admit they are losing money and expect to lose all the way from $5,000 to $20,000 per club this season. They are just es emphatic in their aver- sions that they will finish the season and be in thearera for many seasons to come. The Players' League c facials, on the other hand, claim they are making money, getting stronger every day and will go through the season with all colors flying to begin next season with renewed vigor. Neither side, fails at eveiy jop* portunity to predict the utter col'apse of the other, ihe National League has done more eitensive business in this line than its younger rival. At different periods, before and during the season, dates have been set on wbioh the death of the Players' League would occur. All this has &erved to make the old body very ridiculous and done very little to elevate the game. The Players' League has never recognized any organization of worth outside of itself. It has heaped and still heaps abuBe on the "old mesters," accusing them of bribery and corruption, and expects to see tbem wiped off the earth at the close of the season. The bitter feeling between the two leading baseball organ- izations is something awful, and has worked to the detri- ment of the game. There is not an honest patron of the game who does not from bis heart wish peace restored— the sooner the better. There are very few who believe that either party is happy or ''making money." Those who sit down and fignre will show you that not club in either league is troubled with a surplus. If there is a scarcity of funds in the Players' League, the first reliab'e indication of the fact is wanting. The players seem contented, and not one will admit that he is dissatisfied with the financial arrangement. They speak in the warmest terms, bordering on enthusiasm. their grand organization. The rank and file are follow their leaders with a devotion that is truly admirable.— York Sporting World. 150 %ht QxzzSLzv awd gyoxUmm Aug. 23 The Amateurs.

Allen game of last Sunday was pro. tested by Manager Keller, but as has always been the rule of the Breeder and Sports mak, such games are given to the team tallying the most rnns, until the Board of Directors award it otherwise.

The Leaders had no easy task in defeating the Railroaders in this £ame for Sheridan's boys hit well, and if their hold- ing was in accordance with their hittiag there would have been no oocasion for an extra inning as they coold have won handily. In the Burlington's half of the ninth Sullivan reach Hr*t and Stanley's hit— a two-bagger, which was good for a home run had not the fence stopped it, sent Sullivan home and lied the score The excitement at this stage of the game was at fever heat, but Stanley was left at second. In the lenth the Reports did some terrific slugging, hitting Sullivan unmercifully and aided by a couple of errors brought five men aoross the plate. TheBurlingtorjs failed to tally in their half of the tenth su the game ended nine to four. Outside of the sixth and tenth innings Sullivan pitched great ball. Monet was hit freely but managed to divide the hits Dretty evenly between the ten innings. There was s iii= tine fielding in the game and in this department Bradley, Creamer, Thompson and Dunphy excelled. The catching of both Green and Stanley were also noteworthy features. At the bat Green, Dunn, Stanley, Deane, Thomp- son, Sillivan and Sharp did hard and effective service. Mc Laughlin umpired his first amateur game.

Aliens played a highly inter- esting game last Sunday and which was won by the former by the close score of six to four. The Sonoma's had a fine lead till the Ee,venth when Geiehakers timely double sent Leland and Mulvey across the plate and tallying himself on Evattp siDgle, tied the score and made matters intensely ex- citing. The Santa Rosas, however, pulled out of the tight place In the ninth by scoring two men and winning the game thereby. The work of both pitchers was excellent, Callen twirling hia usual steady and effective game and Philpot ex- celling all previous efforts, having lerrifio speed and a sharp drop which he used to advantage. Both teams put up a good fielding game, and although each side made seven errors, in many instances the misplays were pardonable. 1 he-re was a dash about the Beldirjg which showed the earnestness of the players and which consequently received the hearty ap- probation of the spectators. Reilly, Gimmel, Hulen, Arlett, Evatt, Buckley and Kennedy covered themselves with glory by their clean and clever fielding and Pace and Geishaker did the best work with the stick. The Aliens protested the gameclaimiDg that Umpire Brown, who is Secretary and Treasurer of the Santa Rosa team, showed favoritism to his club. The matter will come up for settlement before the next meeting of the Directors of the Amateur League. The score: SANTA ROSAS. AB.R. BH.BB PO.A.E Gimmel.

The Marines and Young Giants played a burlesque game at the Va:lejo grounds last Sunday. As is usually the case when on an interior trip Warrens Giants were in a crippled condition and the Marines had no difficulty in winning. Howell was in no condition to pitch, his catcher Billings be- iug absent and during the game Beveral of the players changed their positions with disastrous effect. Baltz did nut pilch the game he is capable of, depending too much on Lis strike out abilities, and as a result, filled the bases several times on balls, an advantage the Giants were not slow in making use of, as, after the sixth inning they scored tea runs. Both teams played very poorly and if the Vallejos did not have such a tremendous lead the result might have been different. Thiriy-one stolen bases were made in the gaire which in itself is sufficient to show how loosely the batterieB and base men played their positions. Haguire, Farrell and Tillson were the only players whose work gave evidence of earnestness. At the bat Andy Smith, late of the Stocktons and Farrell, recently released from the SaoramentoB, did the heaviest work. The umpiring of Russell was not as satisfactory as on former occasions, the Finobs lindiug fault with many decisions.

Billy Shannon, the clever sparrer, was at one time an excel- lent catcher. Josh Reilly is putting up a wonderful article of ball for the Santa Rosas. Ex-managers Parker, Farraday and Ellis often witness the morning games. The Vallejos got a prize in big Andy Smith. Smith is a hitter from "way back." In the Vallejo — Will & Finck game of last Sonday, base steals were almost as numerous as runs. Of the Santa Rosas, Gimmel, Arlett and Stulz, belong in Oakland, and Reilly and McCarthy are Frisco boys. Philpot pitches for the Aliens against the Reports to- morrow.

Joe Murdock, the veteran, played a poor game last Sunday at Vallejo— but eveiy player baa an 'off day" once in a while. Strand ia dissatisfied with the general playing of the Young Giants. If he had his release he would probably play with the Reports. Hen Stulz missed the boat by two minuteB last Sunday, and consequently the Santa Rosas were deprived of his val- uable services. Billy Hulen was the recipient of a great ovation when he Btepped to the bat last Sunday. Hulen is deservedly a big ,- favorite everywhere. . Gene Forster was unable to stop ground balls coming into hiB territory last Sunday, which aided the Reports mater- ially in their run getting. Big Andy Smith is now a Marine. Smith is a great acqui- sition to the Vallejos, being a good out fielder, fine first base- man and remarkably heavy hitter. Buokley, Reilly, Chase. Evatt, Murdock. Monet, Lewis, Stanley, Sharp, Creamer, Tillson. Williams. Kelly, Lobman, Farrell, Baltz and Smith have all played professional ball Manager Keller did well to sign catcher Frank Mulvey, recently released by the Burlingtons. Mulvey, though not an expert fielder, is of great value to a team on account of bis strong bitting abilities, and is a most promising catcher. It is a low trick to hoot and yell at a player after a ball for the purpose of spoiling his play. The boys should not allow Santa Rosa customs to invade their sense of decency. Vis- iting clubs should be treated as visitors to our households. — Vallejo Chronicle. Billy Kennedy, the cracker jack youngster, has already played second and third base, short stop, left, center and right field and pitched this season. The beauty of his work is he plays each position equal!}' well, and at the bat he has but few superiors in the amateur league. Managers Warren, Ashman and Keller are married men as are also players Buckley, Evatt, TJtt, Murdock and Deaoe. There are any number of amateurs, seriously contemplating solving the question, "Is marriage a failure?" and if "coming events cast their shadows before" we'll have quite a list of young Benedicts to add to those above mentioned very shortly. How about that Creamer? The Aliens are a team of pitchers and catchers. Philpot, McDonald and Lohman are their regular twirlers, while Ken- nedy and Evatt can also do good work in the box. Leland, Mulvey and Lewis can go behind the bat at any time and catch a strong game, so the Sports should never lose a game in account of poor battery work, for if either a pitcher or catcher weaken?, they have plenty others to draw from. The managers and players of the local clubs speak in the < highest terms of the courteous treatment they receive at the < hands of Major Elmquist, the manager of the Vallejo team, L his players and the Vallejo people generally. Just the op-n posite is their treatment in Santa Rosa where the manager] and residents of the town are so engrossed in their own af- fairs and team that they do not even extend the common' civilities usually bestowed on strangers, much less to those; who are their guests. The Young Giants have not been playing good ball lately' which is undoubtedly attributable to lack of discipline in the team. Players who miss the train Sunday after Sunday,! should either be fined or released, as constantly substituting}! greatly weakens team work and without this all importantH factor, games cannot be won. The Young Giants are astj strong a team as any in the league with their regular players, U but if Manager Warren, who has always had a winning club.) wants the pennant this year he'll have to infuse more lifejj into the players. It would also be well to secure a change).] pitcher if Farrell won't go in the box as Howell has been* worked to the limit since the season opened. With two goodj| pitchers, Billings and Strand for catchers, F. Delmas on1 first, Farrell second, Tillson third, Conway, Deeney and oneH of the alternating catchers in the field and the team playing} | the game they are capable of, Warren's men ought to make a bard fight for honors.

Athletic Sports and Other Paatimes. EDITED BY ARPHIPPTJS, SUMMARY. There appears to be a greit scarcity of athletic news jast at the present time, and were it not for the coming Admis- sion Day regatta, Bay City Wheelman's road race and athletic meeting at Sacramento, sporting writers woald indeed be in a sorry plight. Since the wane of pugilism, considerable attention has been paid to the amateur athletes, bat amateur athletics on the Pacific Coast are like stooks; one day they are dead, the nest booming. However, we must look for- ward to a bright future, for there are two many prominent athletes in the city at the present time to allow matters to lag. Thanksgiving Day has heretofore been a great athletic day, and we mny anticipate in advance a big meeting on next Thanksgiving Day. RUNNERS, WALKEKS, JUMPERS, ETC. The boys all say that they are going to Sacramento. Are they? Only a few of the crack athletes are training at the present time, and unless some of the others are training on the quiet, we don't see how they can make a good showing on S«pt. 17. Scott, Cooley, E-pinosa, Coffia, Jarvis, Casidy and Skill- man are sure to make a showing should they compete. .Garrison, Luttringer, King, Holland, Armbuster, Casidy, McKinoon and Cooke, of the Alpine Ciub, are praoticiog some, and possibly they will all compate. Charley Little says he would dearly like to be at scratch in the two-mile run. If his whiskers are long enough by that time, he may ran in disguise. There was quite a gathering of runners at the Olympic grounds latt Sanday, and several impromptu races were inn. Martio Ejpinosa and C. E. Schlinghyde ran a ''hun- dred." Trie former was leading when his foot turned under him oausing him to fall. He was badly bruised, and re- ceived a very severe shock, which may interfere with his training for a few weeks to coma. The race was awarded to Schlinghyde, who ran it in 11 J seconds. Steve Casady gave young Kortick 6 yards start in a 220 yard run, and beat him easily in 23 4-5 seconds. P. D. Skillman in company with Scott, Mclntyre and Winslow ran one mile, finishing first in 4 min. 42£ sees., which beats the coast record of 4 min. 43 3 5 secB. made by Peter Mulotvre. Judging from the easy manner io which the New Yorker ran, it is easily to be Been that he will get down to 4:30 when called upon. Hab- berly, 10 yds , won a handicap 100-yards run in 10 4-5 sees. Kortick, scratch; Schlinghyde, 3 yds., and Winslow, scratch, also started. An athletic clab ha* been started at Healdsburg. One of the members, a bona fide amateur, is said to have recently run three trial heats of 100 yards eaoh, in 10|, 11 and 10 2-5 seconds respectively, without any previous training. Toe club will apply before long for admission into the P. C. A. A. A. Frank C. Philips, the Amateur walker of the Alpine Club, was recently married, and is now residing at Healdsburg. McLeod is training hard for his match with Lewis which comes off io a few days a"; the Orpheum. "We would like to see the Olympian win. but the chances are too many against him. Experts think that Lsw.s will win th.9 purse inside of forty minutes. The medals won at the championship meeting have been distributed. They are very neat specimens of the jewelero* art. Now for the Alpine medals THE WHEELMEN. The Bay City wheelmen have elected the following Board of Directors to serve for the term of one year: R. M. Thomp- son, President; Thomas L. Hill, Vice President; George P. Wetmore, Secretary; Thomas H. Doane, Treasurer; C. "W. Hammer, W. D Sheldon, W. M. Meeker, C. C. Moore, Jas. G. Cox, C. V. Langton, Fred Rnss Cook. A few members of the Oakland Bicycle Club are deter- mined to enter the road race and are in striot training with the intention of making a good showing. Club run No. 11 of the Oakland Bicycle Club will be held to-morrow to S30 Leandro. The Bay City wheelmen and Alameda Bicycle Clubs have been invited to pin in the run. Members are requested to assemble at the corner of 8th and Broadway Streets at 9.30 a. m. Refreshments will be served by the Committee of Arrangements. Several of the Bay City wheelmen will accompany W. S Doane of Boston and possibly Mr. Weaver, the young bicy- olist recently arrived from the East, to San Mateo this after- noon where they will be the guests of Steve Knapp. To- morrow morniug the party will leave for San JoBe and neigh- boring towns and will get back to the city early on Monday morning. R. M. Tnompson. George P. Wetmore, Sanford Pluinmer, Steve Knapp, W. M. Meeker, C. W. Hammer, T. H. Deane, H. W. Spaulding, and A. C. Laodis enjjyed a very pleasant trip on their safeties on Sunday last. The run waa to Mount Tamalpais. Knapp and Hammer carried their machines to the very highest point of the rocky svmuiit, a feat never be- fore accomplished. The party left on the 8 o'clock boat and did not return to the city until late in the evening. The East Hartford "Wheel Club held races at the track in Hartford, Ct., on Siturday afternoon, Aug. 2. The weather being tine there was a good attendance, and the traok was in first rate condition, some very good racing was witnebsed, although there was no record smashing indulged in.

Team race, one mile— Sage, Lyman and Francis, of Hart- ford, first, in 3m 23 3-5s; Wilkinson, Grimes and Wyman, Springfield, second. Lyman finished ahead. R. J. Mecredy, the speedy Celtic rider, bad another suc- cessful ehy at existing'records at the Paddington Grounds, London, Eng., on July 26th, and made fresh times from three mileB up, inclusive, the figures being: Three miles, 7 min 57 3 5s; lour miles, 10m 39 l-5s; five miles, 13m 6 2 53. On the 29th, at the same place, mounted again on a pneu- matic-tyred safety bicycle, Mecredy broke all records from six miles to twenty-one, the total distance being accomplished in 58m 40 1 53. The previous best time was 59m 48 4-5sec8. On the 29th J F Walsh, of the Catford Bicycle Clab beat both the fifty and one hundred miles road record for ordinary bi- cycles on the Great North Road, Eng,, his time for the shorter distance being 2h 51m 10s, and for the full distance 6h47m 15s. On the following day, SD Begbi and P E Driver, members of the North Road Club, mounted on a Hanley tandem tricycle, rode one hundred miles over the usual course from Hitchin to Peterborough, across to Lynn and back to five miles from Wisbech, accomplishing the dis- tance in 6h 50 Vernon c Sbeppard b HcClaren 1 Newtou c Furlong b McClaren 1 SmitherB c and b McClaren 1 Boyd b Robertson 9 Reynolds c and b Reynolds 11 Geddea c Webster b Robertson u Jones, 8r. b Robertson 1 Wood, Jr , not out 0 Whetworth b Robertaon 1 Byes 1 Totals 39 Iu the second inning tbe Alameda Clnb made 9S runs, and when the game w is called at 5 o'clock the Bnrnabys had made bat 24, thus being badly defeated. The married and single men of tbe Burnaby Club will play a match game to-morrow afternoon. Never before was sach an interest taken in cricket on the Pacific Coast as at the present time. By next season it is more tban probable that some of the ioterest now taken in base-ball will be transferred over to the CricketerB side. Sorrey scored 517 runs for the loss of eight wickets in a match against Derbyshire, July 24th and 25tb, at the Oval, London. Eng. The 517 ruoB were obtained in five hours and a half of actual play, which gives an average of over ninety ruDs an hoar. Hall made no fewer than 20 runs from one over, in the second inning of Derbyshire. The runs were got from Lnckwood, and each of tbe five balls were Bent to the boundary. The next ball Hall had, which was from Bow- ley, he put through the slips for four, so that from six con- secutive balls he pcored as many as 24 rons. Chatterton, of the Derbyshire County team was dismissed in a curiooe manner in a match against Notts, July i8tb, at Derby, Eng He played a ball of jjbacklock'e against his body and hugged it. The wicket keeper, Sherwin, jumped forward ;iod put his arms aroand Chatterton, trying to catch the ball, when Chatterton seized it in his hand and threw it down. The umpire, when appealed to, had no alternative but to give him out for handling the ball. An invitation was cabled the Australian team now in Eng- land to play in this country at the end of September or the beginning of October, on their homeward journey. It is not likely, however, that the Australian manager will accept the invitation, the team having determined when they leave Eng- land to go direct home, instead of by the way of steamer from San Francisco. An eleven, composed of employes of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, defeated the Belmont Club, Angast 9th. at Philadelphia by 251 lo 122, the totals of tbe first inning. Pacey and A. E. Smith of the winning team, each made 112 runs, the former being Lot out. The Mauhattan and Staten Island Clubs played August 7th, at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, the former then winning by 79 to 65, the totals of the first inning. No fewer than 30,279 people paid for admittance to the England vs. Australian's oricket matoh at Lord's, London, Eng . July 21, 22 and 23. The gate receipts amounted to $7,500, while the proceeds from the grand stand amounted to $500 more. N. Wood of the Kings County team, took seven of the New York Club's wickets, for only fifteen runs in a game played August 9th. One inning waB played, the New Yorks win- ning by 51 to 36. Alameda appears to be the home of the crioketers. IN THE SURF. The Harbor View baths were crowded on Sanday. The Sheltered Cove baths are not doing a very big busi- ness j ist now. Captain Jack Williams, the well known swimmer, was ar- rested a couple of days ago for robbery. The Palace and Crystal baths are crowded nightly. The report that Charley Rochette, the boxer, bad been drowned while bathing at Santa Craz was without founda- tion. Swimming is still booming at Monterey, Capitola and Santa Craz. It is possible that the season will close later than usual. The Terrace baths at Alameda did a rushing business on Saturday and Sanday. A very sad accident happened on Saturday afternoon when the gallery was crowded with spectators, EdJie Troy, the fifteen year old son of G. H. Troy of Oakland fell from the swing as he came over the platform, and as he fell his head Htruck the extended plank. He fell into the waier and sank unconscions to the bottom of the tank. The bathers who saw the lad fall jumped after him and with much difficulty fonud him far under the plat- form. He was soon resuscitated and carried home. He is likely not to get over his injuries. The New York Swimming Club will hold their first open handicap amatear swimming races on September 13th. The distance will be 220 yards, 440 yards and 880 yards, and six valuable prizes will be given in each'.raoe. Entrance fee, 50 cents to each race; entries cIobo September 13th, with John Hatton, corresponding secretary, foot of East Sixty-fifth St., New York City. It is the purpose of the club to make race swimming as popolar as the many other branches of Bport. Among the members of the club are H I Braun, holder of tbe 100 yards swimming record; Cbas Renner, Geo. Bonner, G Bishop Marks, of the Atlanta Boat Club; J J McDeimott, of the Union Boat Clnb; Chas. Ams and John Hatton, of the defunct Spirtan Harriers ; Wm. Bull, the speedy Bwimmer; Chas. T Duffy, of the Raven^wood Boat Clnb; Cbas. I. Per- kins, of tbe Ramapo Valley Ooting Club. The officers of the club art: HT Braun, president; Chas. Renner, first vice- president; A Braun, second vice-president; Chas. Ams, treas- urer; Geo. Renner, recording secretary; John Hatton, cor- responding secretary; J E Shellberger, captain; William Bull, first lieutenant; E Ams, second lieutenant. Tbe swimming competitions for the championship of the Amateur Athletic Union will take placa under the anspicf s of the Manhattan Athletic Club this year. They will come off at Bay Ridge, L. I., on Aug. 2Sth. W C Johnson, a member of the Manhattan Athletic Club of New York on Snoday afternoon, August 10th, made a successful attack on the American amateur swimming record for one hundred yards. The essay was made at Benson- hurst, L I., on a measured course, and under the super- vision of W B Curtis, H E Buermeyer and other well known and competent amatear athletes, who are much interested in swimming. Johnson accomplished the distance in 1 m. 15 1-5 b., thus eclipsing the record made by Dr, Hermann Braun, of the New York Athletic Club. Joseph Nuttall and James Finney, tbe celebrated English professionals, have been matched to swim for the mile cham- pionship, the cap offered by The Sporting Life and $'250 a side, in the sea at Brighton, England, on August 30th. This will be a sporting event upon which a lot of money is pretty sure to be wagered. AT THE OARS. At the la- 1 meeting of the Pacifio Rowing Association a motion to classify tbe weights of the oarsmen was lost. The Pionic Committee of the Pacific Rowing Association is still oat and doeB not seem to be very fortunate in securing a suitable place for the holding of tbe annual picnic. An ef- fort was made to secure Harbor View Park but another society got there first. The P R A is in good standing just now which speaks well for rowing. Every club of any importance on the coaBt is a member and the next regatta will certainly be a grand af- fair. The oarsmen are getting into great shape for the N. S. G. W. regatta. On Sanday the bay was fairly covered whii flhells and barges. Tennisou and Oser, ex-members of the Stockton crew have joined the Ariel Club. Tbe single scall rnce for professionals will be worth Beeing. It is expected that Van Guelpen, Growney, Long, Cochrane, Sallivan, Peterson Bros., Hencemann and others will com- pete. Some time ago the membership of the Lorline Club was thinned down considerably on account of the Board of Di- rectors expelling several delinquent members. The olub in building up again and iu a short white the membership roll will be larger than ever. Tbe Alameda Club members are working hard gettiog into trim for coming events A clam chowder feast was given at tbe boat house last Sunday afternoon when the Alameda brass band was present and discoursed sweet music. A half mile race was rowed bttwe< n Boltimer and Barns anil Pfeitl'er and Sohumnkfr, the latter pair winning.

I have here a very fine draft stallion that has a large shoe boil, of atout a year'B standing, on his left, foreleg. Answer.— It is best to cut it out with a knife. See our issue of August 9th, tbis year. J. L. My colt has a small splint just below the knee. It lames him wheu I trot him. What is best to do for it. Answer. — Apply a beniodide of meicury blister, one part to eight of lard. N. I. B. What shall I do to remove lump between hoof and pastern joint? Sometimes the horse goes lame. Answer. — Is the lump hard? If so it is most probably a ringbone, and will require to be fired and blistered. Even this may not lemove the lameness if it iB of long standing or on an old horse. P.T. My mare fills a little along the back tendons wheu I drive her hard; what should I do for it? Answer. — Do not drive her hard. Apply bandages, wet with some leg wash, or vinegar. E E. C. I would like you to tell me through your paper the name of the disease described in the following aod if possible a remedy, as there is a great deal of stock, both horses and cat- tle dying wiih it in this valley. In some cases the first symptoms are first, difficulty in using Borne one or more of the legs, then a loss of appetite, and then a swelling appears in different places on different ones. On one animal it came on the neck just above the point of the shoulder, on another it first appeared about half way up the neck between head and shoulders. The first animal that had it here was one that was where do other stock held aDy communication with him, and the next was running in a held at least a mile away. It does not seem to attack stock that run together and so does not appear to be contagious but must be carried by flies aDd propagated by inoculation. I have lost two horses by it so please tell what it is if you can, also a remedy, or still better a preventive. Answer. — Your description of the disease is not definite enough. In the two horses that you have had affected, which ot the legs {hind or fore) did you first notice the stiffness in? How long were the borseB lame before getting off their feed, and what period elapsed from then till their death? What siza were the swellings and did they appear soft or hard, and did you open them (the swellings) after death and find out what they consisted of? Had the horEes free access to ruDuiDg water? Ietbeground marshy or low? About what age were the Dorset? Were the glaods between the jaws enlarged, and had they a discharge from tbe nostrils? Did the horses appear dull, or excited, or did they show eigne of abdominal pain? Was there distress in breatbiog, or the respiration accompanied by any noise? Was the uriDe bloody or the manure dark iD color? Did you i otice aoy muscular twitahiags o\-er the body? Did you find on post mortem examination the blood dark or a bright red, the spleen enlarged, the cootentB of the intes- tines and bladder mixed with blood, or dark in color? Did you notice any ulcers in any parts of the body ? Yon have not given any symptomB of the disease in ihe cattle. Please answer as many ot tbe above questions as yoii can and de- scribe the symptoms and duration of the disease in the cat- tle and we will reply in our next issue. Answers to Correspondents.

Oakland Maid was foaled in 1868. A Jockey Suspended. We have received a DotificatioD from Edwin F. Smilh, Secretary of tbe State Agricultural Society, that ('has. Hitch- cock (jockey) has betu snspended for breach of contract made with Mr. L. U. Shippee, of Stockton. The Stockholders of tbe Tacoma Speeding and Exhibition Association bave held a meeting and elected r. Board of Di- rectors for the eosning six months. The gentlemen eo hon- ored, are Wm. Freeman, Byron Young, Dr. Wintermnte, J. M. Fuller, Stnart Bice, Jno S. Baker and J. R Patton . At a meeting of the Board of Directors, Mr. Rice was elected President, Mr. Baker Vice-President. J. W. Van Fossen Seoretarv and Mr. Patton Treasurer. It was also decided to hold a race meeting of four days, commencing August 2otb, at which $6,000 will be ottered in prizes. 154 %\tt 'gvtz&itx and J^ptrrismaw. Aug. 23 Grim's Gossip, The betting talent all drink Peruvian Bitters and aa a con- sequence are winning money. Jno. A. Goldsmith has been pattiog Stamboul through his work at Napa duriDg the week, and on last Wednesday morn- ing drove him an easy mile, but completed the last qaarter in 34 seconds. __^ At the West Side Race Course, Chicago, last week, A. Mill's chestnut gelding Bjb Thomas, Bired by Enquirer, out of Pev tenia Barry, broke the record at one mile over hurdles, with 14S pounds up, he covering the distance in 1:49. Silas Skinner 2:21 haB proved himself speedy enough to go with the best of his class, bnt many of the horsemen doubt whether his gait should really be called a trot. When going at a high rate of Bpeed he does the galloping act with his hind legs. Mr. E. S. Caiver, the Secretary of the Blood Horse Asso" ciation, has been under the weather lately and was not able to prepare the list of entries received by the association for the stake races in time for this issue, but will have them ready for publication in the nest. Wm. Hendrickson, who was at one time owner of George M. Patchen Jr., is highly delighted with tbe showing now being made by many trotters which are out of Patohen marep. He says that the people of California are now beginning to realize that the Patchen blood is as valuable as any that was ever brought to thiB State. H. W. Hoagland, formerly of Denver, has located in Oak- land, where he will follow his profession of veterimry deo- tist. Br. Hoagland comes recommended by some of the best horsemen in the Western States and undoubtedly will give satisfaction to those who may employ his services here. The adiress is 1017 Castro S'., Oakland. Galling, by Nordenftlt, is thought to be one of the coming kings of the Australian turf. He is owned by William Gan- non, whose colors have been so often carried to victory by Melos, Arsenal, and the Australian Peer. His trainer is the veteran, Harry Ray nor. Nordenfelt's progeny all indi- cate a high order of speed and endurance. ' On Wednesday next the Monmoath Park Association will give a special day's racing, one of the features of which will be an attempt by Salvator to beat the grand record of Rave- loe 1:39}, at a mile. If anv horse in the country can beat the time, it is Mr. Hoggins' representative, and I fully ex- pect if day and track be good to Bee a new record established. I am sorry to have to announce to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman that on the morning of Monday last, Mr. S. N. Straube, proprietor of the Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, lost his residence by fire. A defective flue issupposed to have been the cause of the conflagration. It is with great pleasnre we learn that the building was insured for a'most its full value. Mr. Charles Kerr of Bakersfield was in town the early por tion of the week and paid me a call to inform me that at last his exceedingly tine track, situated on his breeding farm has been finished, and that he is more than satisfied with it. Mr. Kerr is fast assuming the proportions of a leading breeder, as his stock of brood mares is of the very best, comprising both thoroughbreds and trotters. The San Mateo Slock Farm, in additiou to owning Regal Wilbes,who is expected to show a phenomenal mile this year, has also a yearliog by Sable Wilkes, whom many think can beat Norlaine's record. A few days ago at Napa the colt was worked a half mile in 1:17, the last quarter being negotiated in the exceedingly good time of 36* seconds. With a few week's more work Norlaine's 2.31£ is liable to be in danger. After the mishap that happened to Geo. Bayliss and the stallion, Bob Mason on Tuesday last at Napa, it was really a wonder that he had the nerve to finish the hard fought out race; however, on Wednesday morning he found that his arm and right shoulder were so stiff that it would be impossible for him to drive during the remainder of the week, and John McConnell, probably better known as "Buster", haB been seated behind the Gifford horses at Napa. Sometimes one can see very funny paragraphs owing to a slip made by a writer or typographical errors. Under which heading the following comes would he bard to tell. "I have sold for my patrons bs follows: To Capt. T. Hern- don, Olarkville Tenn , the chestnut mare Annapolis Girl, trial 2:27, foaled 1879, by Young Sentinel, 1280(record 2:26); dam by Filter's Hambletonian, S67; second dam by Amer- ican Star, 14. She has been bred to Sunol, three year record, 2:104." For the past few weeks Jno. Williams has had charge of Alaska, an Electioneer stallion owned by J. B. Haggin. Although the work has necessarily been of very short dura- tion, owing to a large service done in the stud tb;B year, on last Friday Williams drove Alaska a full mile in 2:20 without a skip or break. It is the intention to put Alaska in the 2:30 list as soon as possible, and that will enhance the value of his colts considerably when sold at Mr. Haggin's annual salo in the East. Last Monday morning McConnell drove Beaory Mc a quar- ter of a mile on the Napa track in 32 seoonds, and the gentle- men who had entries in the three-minute class at Napa hav- ing been informed of the easy manner in which the horse won at San Jose, offered Mr. Williams, his owner, first money in Thursday's races if he would keep bis horse in the stable and allow the others to right for the balance of tbe money. Mr. Williams consented so Beaury did not take part in the three-minute contest. Almost every week in the year one 3an hear of gentlemen, who, for the first time, have commenced to break trotting horses for track use. The large price now paid by Eastern purchasers for California bred horses encourages this great atteution to the trotters, and every little while inquiries come to this office asking where good breaking carts may be pur- chased. From experience, we would recommend among others, that onr reaiers who require a first-class breaking c*rt, should call and pe=» thos« now offered for sale bv tbe Deere Implement Co., 305 and 307 Market Street, San Fran- cisco. I i:i addition to these A 1 carts, the firm also has for sale road oarts, spring wagons, buggies, photons, and, in fact, everything in that line of goods. The Stewart-Hickok confederation took in a barrel of money on the 2:20 class trot at Bnffalo, in which Walter E won after nine desperate heatB. The race was a large and juioy one to the pool sellers. Charley Stiles alone sold $73,000 worth of tickets on the race This amount was the second largest ever sold at one stand on a harneas race. In round figures $66,000 went into one box July 17th, 1883 at Chicago, when Richball beat Buffalo Girl, Lucy and Flora Belle in tive heats. About §69,500 went into one box on the Cleve- land track August 2. 1883, when Fanny Winterspoon beat St. Jnlien, Edward Thorne and Trinket. $493,000 passed into the pool box at the recent Buffalo meeting, divided up as follows: Mutuals, $122,000, the Auction $350,000 and the books $21,000. I wonder if it can be possible that California is going to produce the sensational horse of the year. Months ago it was intimated that Axtel's record was in danger, and now there are many who believe that even Sunol's wonderful 2:10* may possitly be smashed, and that by a stallion. Jno. Gold- smith has been exercising Rpgal Wilkes on the circuit and on last Tuesday morning drove that great young stnllion a full mile with the most consummate ease in 2:21, the last quarter being finished in an absolute jog Those who saw this wonderful performance claim that with a good day and a good trach Regal Wilkes will most positively secure the three-year-old record of the world. D. M. Reavis, of Chico, iB probably as large a breeder of horses as almost any other man in the State. Sometime dur- ing the coming fall it is his intention to send three or four carloads of trotting bred stock, principally two-year-olds, to New York, where they will be sold if not previously disposed of. Vic H., who trotted three he ats last Taesday at Napa in 2:23*, 2:24 and 2:26* together with Mattie Solomon, will also be sent on as a part of the consignment. Rumor has it that Mr. Corbitt, of tbe San Mateo Stock Farm, is trying to get Mr. Reavis to name a price on the two last mentioned ani- ma's, as he would like to have them for Lis breeding estab- lishment. Among the trainers who are rapidly coming to the front, urobably the best in the lot is Brock, who has charge of the TJudine stables on the California circuit. During the early spring Tycoon was hardly worth a cent for racing purposes, yet when the meeting opened at lone, the ex-trotting atten- dant had him in good shape, so much so, in fact, that he is probably a belter horse at present than he ever was in his life. It may not be out of place to mention here that Tycoon is one of the best single-footers in the State, and when he made his appearance at Napa on Wednesday, he came up to the wire with the regular Tennessee saddle-horde gait. Bar- on Von Schroder, who was present, was bo impressed with this ability of Tycoon that he at once made a liberal offer to Percy Williams for the horse, but the representative of the Undine Stable refuecd to sell nntil after the racing at Napta, was over. Those who have been at Napa during the week complained bitterly of the manner in wbich tbose who had rooms to rent charged for sleeping accommodations. One of the hotels did not raise the usual prices but all the others seemed de- termined to make hay while tbe sun shone and charged frightfully for everything that w;u consumed; even the bar- bers entered into a trust and would not shave anyone short of twenty-tive cents. At the track thing* were just about as bad. the two drivers, McConnell and George Bayliss paid $1.50 for what wab called a chicken lunch, but both of them are willing to take affidavits that the birds eaten were noth- ing but canaries- The Directors of the Napa Association should look after this matter in future and see that exorbi- tant prices are not charged, for it will eventually result in strangers refusing to visit that city. A fatal accident occurred at San Jose on Thursday of last week which resulted in the death of J. R. Bnflington, an o'd and well known horseman in that locality. It seems that Mr. Brjftington had a ell. which he was training that bad only been driven some five or six times. Aa he was going to harness him preparatory to giving him a little exercise, Burl- ington took a brush and curry-comb to rub him down. Mr. Buffiugton's son was about to put the harness on the colt when he Baw bis father jump back, the colt having tried to kick him. Mr. Buffington stepped forward again when the colt kicked at him with both hind heels, one of them strik- ing him just below the right eye. An examination made by a surgeon shortly after the deplorable accident showed that Mr. Buffington's neck had been broken. The deceased was well known and respected greatly by those who had the honor of his acquaintance. All that is necessary to convince one of the extreme pop nlarity of trotting in the Northwestern country is to read the following account of a stake race that has been arranged to take place on August 30th at Portland, Oregon. About a week ago a match race was trotted between Alta and Kitty Ham, which haB evidently awakened the owners of several other trotting horses, and now by telegraph we learn that $500 each have been deposited by the owners of the following horses, tbe race to be trotted on the date men- tioned above: E. H. Mix's J. S. C, by Echo; Julius Sorren- son's Susie S. by Hambletonian Mambrino; Matlook Bros.' Alta by Altamont; Glassford & Duncan's Antelope by Nut- wood and T. H. Tongue's Kitty Ham by Hambletonian Mambrino. According to the conditions of the race, the winner takes the entire stake, and also all the gate receipts after expenses have been paid. In the last issue of the Breeder and Sportsman we could only give the result of the fifth and deciding heat at Buffalo in the free-for-all race, as we received it by telegram, and onr correspondent had not time to send us the result of the concluding beat. It would seem that on Monday morning when tbe bell was rung for the contestants to appear Rosa- lind Wilkes was quite a strong favorite, the odds beiDg 5 to 4 on her while the bookmakers were willing to bet 5 against 3 that Palo Alto would not win. Jack was evidently "away oft " as he cnt no figure in the race whntever, the represent- ative of the Wilkes family and Electioneers great Bon hav- ing th" fight out between them. Palo Alto completing the first quarter in 321 seconds, the half-mile in 1:061, the three- quarters in 1:40|, and the mile 2:15.

Truss Axle Sulky, wbich has bf en thoroughly indorsed by all tbe leading horsemen of the United States to be the Btiffest and be,-t track sulky now made. One of the beauties of this sulky is tbat it will fit any horse, no matter how high his action which of itself is a great recommendation. In addition to the one juBt spoken of, the firm carries a full line of all the different mates of sulkies, bo that no matter what horsemen may nted in that direction, they can be easily accommodated by this firm. On last Saturday afternoon the Oatland Driving Club was out in full force, and, aB usual, a Urge number of carriages were seen inside the enclosure. The sport for the afternoon beg-tn with the three minute clans of trotters, the entries being W. H. Veitcbe'B Jerry; P. W. Bengali's Eleotro, and J. Roger's Skate. Jerry was the fortunate one, winning the first and third heats in 3:02 and 2;5S; Skate taking the sec- ond heat in three minutes. The nest event on the programme was for the 2:40 pacers, there being four entries: Dr Withers' Woodchuck; T. Lan- dregan's Berkley Maid; S. D. Ingram's Weasel, and Geo. Anderson's Gypsey. Weasel took the first beat in 2:49, and Gypsey took the second and third in 2:48 and 2:45. The programme nest presented a trot for the 2:35 claee; the entries being T. Rutherford's Sunset; D C. Biown's Sunrise, and R. B. Chisbolm's Blue Bull. Owing to the actions of Rutherford, tbe judges were allowed to refuse his horse the privilege of starting, and the other two had it out between them; Sunrise winning handily in two straight heats. Time 2:37 and 2:42. A mile was then trotted between J. Maher's Gns; and D. Hayes' Brown Dick. Gus won as he pleased in 3.05. The last foal that was dropped in this State to the cover of Nutwood prior to Lis leaviDg for the Eastern States, was out of Ruth Ann by Bell Alta; second dam by General Taylor. As this foal grew np in years he was named H-»rry Slocuin, and two years ago developed considerable speed. His owner, the well known livery stable keeper. Mr. Lot D. Sloonm, sold a half interest in the horse in 1SSS to K Mandelbaum, Esq. Last year he was not worked for track use, but in April of this year be was sent to Petalnma where be bus been receiving exercise at tbe hands of Lee Shaner. Some two months ago Mr. Slocum sold his other half interest to Mr. Mandelbaum, who was exceedingly well pleased at the speed Bhown by the son of Nutwood, as he has frequently com- passed a mile better than 2:23, and his 1:10 to the half was simply an exercising jog for him. On last Friday morniog Mr. Shaner harnessed up Barry Slocum for the purpose of driving him to Napa, but when only a few miles on his journey the horse began to act in rather a strange manner, which caused Mr. Shaner to pull np, immediately opon which the horse fell dead, evidently having bursted a blood vessel. The horse was valued at 57,500. From letters received from a friend it would seem as though John Mackey, the genial superintendent of Rancho del Paso, has been having a great time in the land of Johnny Boll. His quaint, odd ways have made him a general favorite, and as Mr. Haggin has introduced him quite generally in English sooiety, it may fully be exnected that John will return with all the mannerisms of an English cockney. Fitted oat in a dress suit, patent leather shoes and a high hat, he is a famil- iar figure around the corridors of the principal hotels, and can be seen almost any night jumping out of a "two wheeler" as he goes to attend the theatre. In their travels, Ireland has not been forgotten, and the dear old county of Meath has been visited, that being the county of John's birth. Visits have been made to nearly all the principal breeding farms of the country, including those of the Duches6 of Montrose, Baron Rothschild and the Dnke of Westminster. Only one purchase so far has been effected, that btirgthe bay stallion, Tacitus by Hermit on t of a mare by Young Melbourne; 2d dam by Stockwell, etc Such royally good breeding will indeed be a valuable adjunct to the stud of Ranobo del Paso, and John fancies that he has secured one of Hermit's very best sons. He is only eight years old, with black points, possessed of immense bone, with great thighs and arms, a fine head and neck and excellent shoulders; he is well ribbed and let down. With this combination of Her- mit, Young Melbourne and Stockwell blood, Tacitus should be bard to beat in any country. Before tbe party returns to AmerieaJohn will pay a flying visit to Paris, as Mr. Haggin is desirous of having John learn how to swear in the {French Names Claimed.

The first day of the Solano and Napa District Fair was held in excellent weather, and with the track in good order.and with an efficient management at the head of affairs, a great day's trotting was expected, for Napa is, ontside of Sacramento, the most popular trotting locality in the State, bo many records having been broken on the track in previous year3. Last year, for instance, the Hying Sidney filly, Gold Leaf, paced a mile in 2:113, while in the fall Stambonl and Palo Alto trotted in 2:12^, and many other cracks lowered their records at the meeting held last year. Four trotting races were on the programme for the day, and as a start was not made until two o'clock, heats were sand- wiched after the first two heats of the 2:20 class. The judges for the day were H. M. La Hue, Stockton ; John McCord, Napa, and J, N. Bailhache, Healdsburg. Mr. La Rue, who is probably by long odds the most accomplished starter in the State, attended to the send off in his usually masterly style, and very soon had things going in smooth order. At ten minotes to two the first race was called up, five well known trotters facing the music for the 2:20 trot. They were Hazel Wilkes, 2:20. the winner of the San Jose 2:20 class; Emma Temple, 2:21, who was in goo3 form, and showed op well after her race at San Jose, when she was behind Hazel; Express, 2:21, was the Palo Alto entry; Maggie E., 2:19f, the more than useful Nutwood mare, was entered by her new owners, and the eccentric Doherty had his speedy horse Victor (Hayseed) 2:22. The race proved a good thing for Hazel Wilkes, who re. peated her San Jose victory, winning in straight heats. The 2:30 trotters brought out a field of eight, Silas Skin- ner being installed favorite, and winning in straight heats. The winner has a very rapid way of going, and will be very hard to beat in his class. He is a pure gaited trotter — in front, while he apparently runs behind, and with really pre- cise judges, might have been set back under the new rule, as he leaves his feet too often and never loses by it. Bob Mason, the San Diego entry, made a game effort to win, and after falling (a regular cropper), just after going under the wire in the first heat, tearing a shoe and boot off, he made a splen- did exhibition of true game racing by fighting out the next two heats to the finish. Mr. Reavis' Vic H. romped home in the 2 :40 class, going the three heats "in the remarkably good time of 2:23£, 2:24 and 2;26i, winning each heat in a jog. She is a daughter of Black- bird, and last week obtained a record of 2:25* at Willows. The yearling trot was a gift for Nonpariel, though Capt. Harris' entry would probably have altered the complexion of things had she been allowed to start. 2:30 trot. — First heat. When the horses were called out, pools sold: Hazel Wilkes ©30, Emma Temple $5, and the field $10. The first four or five times Temple was rather unsteady, then Victor came up in front of the pole horse, but after being threatened with a fine, they scored up better hy Maggie E Express spoiled the next two attempts by breaking before the wire. At the ninth time the word was given by Mr. La Kue, with Express two lengths behind, the otherB well together. Maggie cut out the work to the turn, when she broke and fell back, and Victor went on, passing the quarter three lengths in front of Temple, with Hazel Wilkes two lengths further back, and Maggie E. four behind her and two in front of Express. Victor mixed his gait a couple of times before the half, where he was a length and a half in front of Temple, with Hazel, who was coming fast on her wheel, and Maggie six lengths farther back, with a two lengths lead of Express. Hazel and Temple closed up on Victor round the turn, the Wilkes mare coming upon the inside and Temple on the outside. When well in the stretch Hazel got her head in front and Viotor broke, dropping back. Temple closed in a little, and trotted a hard race to the wire, Hazel winning by a neck after a tight finish, with Victor thre6 lengths back and Maggie E. and Express, who both showed their running ability down the stretch, just inside the distance. Time, 2:22i. Mutuals on the heat paid $S. SecoDd beat — Pools sold slowly at §25 Hazel Wilkes to $8 for the whole field. After scoring up seven times, the word ■was received, with Express two lengths behind. Emma Temple and Victor went round the tarn together two lengths in front of Haz6l Wilkes, but before the quarter Viotor skipped and lost the lead, Temple going past the quarter post two lengths in front of him, with Hazel third, three lengths back, and Maggie E. three further in the rear. Victor broke badly at the three farlong pole, and was passed by Hazel, who wbs three lengths behind Temple at the half in 1:10, Victor three further back. Hazel went up to Temple round the turn, being at her head at the three-quarters, and with the bay mare tiring badly in the 6tre'ch, beat her three lengths to the wire, Victor four lengths further back, and Express, who passed Maggie, who broke in the Btretch, fourth, fifty yards hack. Time, 2:20£. Mntuals on the heat paid $7.50. Third heat — No pools sold. After Beveral futile attempts to get the quintette to come up together, Shaner and Doherty were fined $5 each for coming up before the pole horse, and the five soon came up together. Hazel broke almost imme- diately, and lost her place, Temple and Victor going on in the lead. Victor broke on the turn, and Tfmple swung into the backstretch three lengths in front, Victor second three lengths in front of Express, who was jast clear of Hazel; the latter passed Express before reaching the three furlongs, and with Victor breaking shortly after, passsed him, and went on in hot pursuit of Temple, who had four lengths the best of it at the half, with Express, three lengths back, third, and Victor olose up, fourth, twenty lengths in front of Maggie E., wh was all to pieces. Hazel decreased the lead two lengths at the head of the stretch, and driven hard all the way, won a desperate heat by half a length, Temple five lengths in front of Express, who was well in advance of Victor, with Maggie E barely saying her distance.

Silas Skinner was made favorite at S30 to $10 for George Washington, $10 for Bob Mason and ?30 fcr the rest as a field. A long time was devoted to starting the big field well together and all trotting At last, however, the word was given, with Lee two lengths behind, all the rest well together. Una Wilkes on the inside, went out in front to the turn, when Bob Mason went past her in a clatter closely followed by Silas Skinner, who came from the extreme outside and took third position. When the quarter was reached Mason was three lengths in front of Uaa W ilk with Skinner at her wheel six lengths in front of Clan Flora S. and Keepsake all together in front of Lee. Ma^on led the van to the end of the "back stretch when Skinner closed up, and getting even in the turn, the pair swung into the stretch head and head, with Una Wilkes four lengths back, and Clara Z. four lengths farther back. A very hard race took place down the stretch. Skinner, who had skipped several times, having a shade the best of it at the draw-gate, where Mason swerved under the whip, but was instantly straightened out and finished gamely, losing by a head, and stumbling, fell a length past the wire. Biyliss fell clear and was not injured. Una Wilkes was five lengths back, third, and the rest all strung oat. Clara Z. fourth, Washington fifth, Flora S. sixth, Lee seventh and Keepsake last. Time, 2:21. Mutuals on the heat paid $13.25. 8KCOND HEAT. Fools sold briskly, §25 Skinner, Washington $3, and the rest of the field $10. When the horses came out Bayliss and Mason received an ovation, both looking no worse for their tumble. A start was soon obtained with L9e seemingly over- looked ten lengths back. Skinner and Mason set the pace to the turn, when Mason broke all to pieces and fell back last while Spinner opened up a gap of six lengths at the quarter with Flora G. a neck in front of Una, who was three in advance of the rest bunched. Skinner went clean away from the field leading 10 lengths passing the half, where Flora G. had two lengths, the best of Clara Z. who had passed Una Wilkes who wasalengthin froDtof Washington. Skinner slowed upround the turn and won in a jog by Bsven lengths, Flora G getting the place, although beaten a head by Clara Z. who made a game rally from the distance, but was set back to third for running. The rest were strung out, most of them running in. Time, 2:25£. Paris mutuals in the heat paid $7.00. THIRD HEAT. No pools sold. A start was soon arrived at with Lee again behind Spinner and Mason. Both went out for the lead and went round the turn a length apart with Flora G. next and Una Wilkes close up. Flora broke before the quarter and lost her place to Una. At the quarter the order was Skinner. Mason, Una, Flora, with two lengths between each, and Washington four lengths back clear of Clara G, Lee a bad last. Mason went up to Skinner half up the back Btretch, but would not stay there, and Skinner drew out two lengths passing round the turn. Bayliss made a hard fight for the heat until the drawgate, where he gave up and finished three lengths behind Skinner,Flora G. who passed Una Wilkes in a break in the stretch getting third place, four lengths further back and a length and a half m front of U na with Clara Z fifth, the rest running most of the way.

After ten minutes scoring for the word with Carbon too Blow everv time, the word was given. Carbon being two lengths be" hind; Vic H and Oaknut stajed together to the turn, when Vic quickened up, and trotting clean away, led down the backstretch five lengths, passing the half in 1:11, with Oaknut 8econdsixlengthsin front of Mountain Maid, and Carbon fifty yards back.

Time, 2:23$. Paris mutuals paid $7.40. Second heat— Daspite the efforts of the Bilvery tongued auotioners, no offer could be obtained for the field Against Vio H. After about half a dozen trials the word was given and Oaknut trotting steadily, led to the turn, and increasing the pace, turned into the backstretch three lengths in front of Vic H, with Mountain Maid six lengths behind her and six in front of Carbon. Vic closed up on Oaknut and oarried him off his feet before the half, which she passed four lengths in front in 1:11, and going well within herself went round the turn five lengths in the lead, Oaknut seven in front of the Maid, same in front of Carbon, running. Oak- nut broke again on the homestretch, and Vic H won as she pleased by three lengths, Oaknut second five lengths in front of Mountain Maid, who was double that distance in front of Carbon. Time, 2:24. Paris mutuals paid $6 00 Third heat. No pools were sold, everyone having decided that the mare could not lose and nearly every one had gone to town. The qnartette were soon en route, Vic H. and Oak- nut going well trotted round the turn together, Vic. showed half a length in front when they turned into the backstretch and increased her lead to two open lengths be- fore going round the upper turn with Oaknut second, eight lengths in front of Mountain Maid and Carbon a hundred yards back. Vic H. retained her advantage and won easily bv two lengths from Oiknut who left his feet at the draw- eate, Mountain Maid finished third forty yards behind him with Carbon.

A few pools were sold at §20 Nonpariel to S25 the field. Lady Thorn had the pole and was so slow that the others could not be kept back to her, and thus used a good deal of valuable time. When the word was given Nonpariel went right away from the rest- and though all broke before the turn "Whitney's entry catch- ing handily showed the way into the back strefch and settling down to work went down the back stretch six lengths in front and trotting steadily turned into the straight for home twelve lengths in front of Rustic King with Columbus who broke badly in the back stretch a bad third, and Lady Thorn out of it.

WEDNESDA Y. A rather slim crowd witnessed the stock parade which atarted out at ten o'clock, headed by B. C. Holly leading his old favorite Ninen a, the winter in mar y a hard race. She 'ooked in grand sha pe, and has developed into a very band- Bome broodmare. Fo llowing her wss Sidney, her colt, foaled by Sid, a son of imported Siddartha. The entries in the horse department were numerous, reaching from the Btand to the half-mile post, and included msny wellknown trotters, among whom the matronly Lily Stanley attracted general attention as she was led past, followed by her Director foal. The cattle department had only a email number of entries, and did rot make the circuit of the track, being turned away after passing the stand. The afternoon was devoted to the thoroughbred brigade, three races being on the programme, with three starters in each event. The scarcity of starters was accounted for by the hard traoks at lone, San Jose and Los Angeles, which had laid up several hordes on the shelf for a while. The directors decided to add the foil amount in each race, provided three starters turned out for each eveDt instead of four as advertised. FirBt race — Punctually at two o'clock, before a large assem- blage, the horses were called out by Mr. La Rue for the first, a six furlong repeat, which had as starters W. Appleby's four-year-old mare Alfaretta, Orville Appleby's three-year old filly Juniata (a sister to Alfaretta), and Owen Bros.' Serpo- lette. After a few vain attempts, Sam Whitehead gave up attempting to sell poola on the individual races, but sold a large number of pools combination fashion, $25 being given for Alfaretta. Tycoon and Daisy against $15 for the field, the condition being that if any of three named horses failed to win, the field won the pool. At half past two William Coombs sent the trio in workman, like style, and for a hundred yards they ran looked together, when Alfaretta left the other pair and went round the turn three open lengths in front, with Serpolette two lengths in front of Jnniata. The race was all over from there, as Alfa- retta galloped home an easy winner by five lengths, Juniata second and Serpolette distanced. Time, 1:182. Mutuals paid $6.ifi. Second heat. Juniata broke away twice and was very un- rnly, but at the third break away a Rood start was made, the three year old ridden from the start hung on to Alfaretta to the 'end of the Btretch when (he latter came away winning in a canter by three lengths from Juniata who was unneces- sarily and unmercifully punished by Dennison.

The flag was dropped the first time uith all three ruDDing well together. Hotspor fell back on tbe turn while Wild Oats hung on to Daisy down tbe back Btretch with HotBpur three lengths back. The latter closed up on the turn and all three were level at tbe head of the stretch with Daisy winning easy, and the others imder persuasion.

Red Bluff is particularly fortunate iu having had a new track built, and to-day the first race ot the Tehama Connty Agricultural Society were started over it. It is wtll laid out, has exceedingly good soil, and I am inclined to the belief that when worked over a little will be a very fast one. At pretent it is a trifle soft, but that is a good thing for the horses, as there will be much less danger of any of them breaking down. The grand stand is extremely well built and a very commodious structure, while there are an ample num- ber of stalls for all of the horses gathered together here, The officers of the association have ppered no time nor money in getting everything in proper shape for their meeting, and the horsemen congregated here are particularly well satisfied with the attentions and hospitality that they have received. It was a matter of some surprise that the attendance was not larger, as the country is in a flourishing condition, and it is mariy'years since races has been held at this point. The judges selected for the day were Messrs. Hawkins, Shelton and Billups; while the timers were Messrs. Mcintosh and Champlaiu. In the trotting race Col. Hawkins acted as starter, while in the running races W. M. Billups gave them the word, The Brst race of the day was for the district two-year-olds,and although there had been three entries but two came to the wire they being Lucy B. entered by G. W. Woodard of Yolo' and Wayland W. entered by S. B. Simpson of Chico. The pool selling was of rather alight character, Mr, Simp- son's gelding being the choice at $10, while Lucy B. brought $5. Waj land W. was the much better of the two and had no d. faculty in winning both heats very readily, the time be- ing 2:55£ and 2:54£. In the last heat Lucy made several disastrous breaks, which put her entirely out of the oonteBt. summary. Bed Bluff Aug 19th, 1890, 2-year-old, dletrict.ipurse §160.

The programme next showed a purse of $250 for the three- minute clasp, the entries being Billy Doty, E. O. Peart, Vi- dette and Frank M. Mr. Billups did not start Peart so there were only three in tbe conte&t for the money. In the pools Frank M. was a great favorite, bringing $10 while the other two combined sold for $5, On the appearance of the horses on the track. Frank M., who 1b owned by T. E. Keating, the farmer owner of Sensation, showed up very lame and pur- chasers of the short end began congratulating themselves that they had far and away the best of it; however, appear- ances are sometimes deceitful, for the lame gelding took the lead immediately upon the word being given and was never headed, the time consumed in making the mile, 2;33£, being Bimply an exercising jog for him. After the first hsat there was no betting whatever, the spectators keeping aloof from a horse that could show up so badly and win so handily with onlv three legs to go on. The second and third heats were simply repetitions of the first, Frank M. leading from start to finish in all of them. Time, 2:33 and 2:38|. FraDk is evidently a g.od money making horse and the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman need not be surprised if he makes a record low in the twentie3 when he strikes in the big circuit at Sacramento.

Darkness coming od, the race was postponed until the nest day. There are quite a number of cases of glanders among the horses in Sacramento aDd vicinity, says the Bee, and every one who owns a horse should see to it that it is well pro* _ tected and cared for. Glanders is a terrible and a conta- (| gions disease, and the only relief is death. Six horses be- longing to the Central Street Railway Co. have already been shot, and others belonging to private individuals have had to be treated in the same manner. The discharged Superinten- dent, John Beck, sold some horses affected with this disease to a man down the Riverside road, and they bad to be killed, Suoh conduct deserves the severest punishment, and that may have been one reason for his disctarge. Athletics— Continued . 1 he Pedigree of Bessie G-. Considerable time has elapsed s:nce Guy E. Giosse, . Esq., of Santa Rosa first tried to establish the pedigree of Bessie G; the dam of Sunset and Anteeop, but pitienoe and perse- verance have helped to surmount the difficulties usually arising in investigations of this sort. Mr. Grosse purchased the mare from J. B. Hinkle of Petaluma, that gentleman having got her from Daniel Cutter. Mr. Cutter has signed the following document, whioh clears up the breeding as far as it can possibly ever be known: San Fbancisoo, Cal, Aug. 13, 1890. I hereby certify that the mare which I sold to J. B. Hin- kle of Petaluma was raised by me; when in my possesion I called her "Nellie," but I understand they have changed her name to "Bessie G." If she is still alive, she will be eleven years old this spring; she was s;red by "King Philip," a sod of Whipple's "Hambletonian" 725. The dam of "Nellie" was by "George M. Patohen, Jr " but I cannot trace the pedi- gree of the second dam. Daniul Cutter, 845 Harrison street, S. F. Some months ago Mr R. M. Dunlap of Galesburg, Illi- nois, purchased Bessie G from Mr. Grosse, and also a filly out of her by Anteeo, it being his intention to take them back East. Bessie G will Burely become standard as one of her sons can now trot much better than 2:30. The Staten Island Athletic Club have made great prepara* tions for their annual Labor Day celebration, which tbey evi- dently intend shall surpass those which afforded pleasure to hundreds of lovers of outdoor sports and festivities in form- er years. The chief aquatic event cf the celebration will be the annual senior eight oared shell race for the Staten Island Athletio Club $1,000 Challenge Cup, which alwayB produces a grand contest between some of the leading amateur crews of the East, for all are desirous of possessing the elegant and costly trophy which depends on the result of the straggle. The race is open to all invited clubs, tbe distance is one mile, and it will be governed by the rules of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen and the S. I. A. C. Cup. There will also be a race for junior eight oared shell crews, which is also expected to result in a grand struggle, for there are more good junior eights in the East the present season than at any previous lime. An entrance of $20 each crew is asked. The club bouses, boat house and grounds will be illuminated with calcium and electric lightB during the even- ing, and Cappa's Seventh Regiment Band will serve to en- hance the pleasure of those who attend. George W. Lea easily defeated John L^rgan. the English oarBman, who has been in this country for a considerable period, in a scullers' race for a purse, at OyBter Bay, L. I,, on Saturday afternoon, August 9th. The distance rowed was about a mile _and three-quarters, and Lee won by two lengths. Neil Matterson was the victor in a scullers' race with Brown on the Parramatta River, N S. W., Aug 8. The course was the usual championship one, and the stake $1,000. The winner's time was 20m 38s. CLUB JOTTINGS. The Alpine Club now has its headquarters at Central Park with an entrance on Eighth Street. A general meeting will be held to-morrow afternoon when new officers will be elected. Several changes will be made in the constitution and by-laws, and other important matters will be discussed. The preparations that are being made for the coming ex- hibition of the Olympic Club are something grand The box- ing, wrestling, fencing, tumbling, pyramide, weight lifting, groupings, etc., will be very tine and it is safe to predict that even standing room will be at a premium. One of Prof. Tronchet'B lady pupils will give an exhibition with her teacher which promises to be highly exciting. The Alameda Olympic Club held a "Ladies Night" exhibi- tion on Friday evening August 15. The audience was large and fashionable, many ladies being present. A parallel bar exhibition by the Oakland Tarn Verein was very good. Paul Uth was the leader. Prof. George C. Rouse gave a very clever exhibition of club swinging. M. Espinosa and E. Stack both of the Olympic Club of this city did some pretty work in the boxing line. C. J. Lutger and C. C. Btck of the same club wiestled, eaoh gaining a fall. Pyramids were formed by the following members of the AUmeda Club: John Byler (leader), O. C. Haslett, Perham Nahl, Ed Shaw, Fred H»llgren, Ambrose C. Snow, Tony Sparrow, A. C. Nanl and Walter Osborne. J. F. Stack, Robert Leando and Prof. Rause gave a tine exhibition on the horizontal bars. There were wrestling bouts tetween Ed. Kolb and R. Y. Cole, and Eu- gene Van Court and F. A. Grim. Some excellent tumbling was done by Staok. Espinosa, and Leando. Green and Buulo of the Olympic Club and Houston aud Turnball of the Ala- meda Club gave some clever set-tos. The exhibition closed with pyramids by the Oakland Turn Verein. The hall was then cleared and dancing began and lasted until early morn- ing. On the whole the affair was very agreeable and re- flected much credit on the Young Alameda Olympic Club, which at some future period may develope into a large and powerful athletio club. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. I am glad to see that the Alpine boys have moved to Cen- tral Park. By remaining oo the hill so long they lost several good members. Now that their rooms are in the very heart of the city there is no reason why the club should not boom again, for atbletios are bound to become popular before long. Some of the boys tell me thU they cannot leave their work to jiurney to Sacramento on the I6th of Sept. I think if the games were held on a Saturday the attendance of athletes would be much larger. But very few of the amateurs can afford to lose a day and a half or two days in the middle of he week. Peter MclDtyre has a Bplendid chance to train. Living aa he does at the Olympic grounds be should be able to make fast time. I bad a little chat with John Purcell the other day relative to his retiring from the sporting world. "Bedad it's a ohest- nut," said John. "I've teen hearing that Bince I've been. in Fiisco." Well, will you ever compete again? I queried. "Faith and I dunno; I don't like to say for sure that I will not, for faith it is as hard to swear off training as it is for a drunkard to swear off drioking." I would like to see theP C A A A give a grand handicap cross country run. There are dozens of good men who would be only too willing to take part. Let each man pay a small entrance fee of say half a dollar and the total could be turned into prizes. TheOljnipio and Alpine clubs would send large teams into the field and there are lots of other olubs in the association that would also make a good show- ing. I was up at the Golden Gate Athletic Club the other day, and judging from the number of members present I think the gjmnasium apparatus will soon be got rid of at a low fig- ure. Eamhler.

The track and wtather were all that conld be desired, and the racing, especially the running, was spirited. With the exception of the second event, when Cyclone wod, every favorite won. And this one defeat of the talent was probably dne to the fact that Nettie S. wore a wire shoe to protect a split hoof, which announcement was made from the I judge's Btand, just before the race, too late for the talent to hedge.

Four races were on the pro- gramme and attracted a large crowd. The racea were a three-minute class for trotters, a 2:30 pace and two district trots. When the six hor6es in the 3:00 trot came out Bus- ter was behind Larco as Bayliss was too stiff from his fall on Tuesday to handle the gray gelding who proved a bad break- er and was a distance and a half out when Kilrain went un- der the wire in the first heat, Chantiliy driven by Goldsmith had evidently not yet re- covered from her runaway at San JoEe and was slightly lame. After seven hard heats had been trotted Peter Bran- dow won the race, Larco. Chas. Derby and Kilra'n be- ing distanced earlier in the game while Chantiliy who went to the stable at the end of the fourth heat took fourth money, first money having been paid to Mr. Williams with. out starting Beaury Me, who is an exceptional four-year-old. Charles Derby won the second heat in 2:25£ and the fifth in 2:30 and had the race at his mercy, but probably owing to not being keyed up for a hard race, Derby having only been under Mr. Holly's eai'e for about six weeks, he coald not raise a trot and was distanced. The veteiinary in attendance pronounced it congestion of the heart. Three horses entered the 2:30 list iu the race, Free Coin- age obtaining a mark of 2:27£, Chas. Derby 2:25£, Fay 2:28£. The pace showed what a grand youngster Goldsmith has in Rupee who, although only three-years-old, beat his two older opponents in clever style,taking the second, third and fourth heats in 2:2H, 2:19£ and 2:20. The district trot for two-year-olds was an easy thing for the Dawn filly Anna Belle. The three minute trotters had used up so much of the afternoon that despite sandwiohing heats almost from the start the district three-year-old trot had to be postponed until next day. First heat. Pools sold freely; after fluctuating for a while, they settled down to Chantiliy, favorite at $13, Kilrain $10, Cbas. Derby $9 and the field $25. Fully twenty-five min- utes elapsed before the field could be got away, but at last Mr. La Rue gave them the word in good order. Larco broke immediately and never fairly struck his gait being a hun- dred yards behind all the way. ChaB, Derby left his feet on tbe turn and fell behind the rest of whom Kilrain on the in- side "et the pace three lengths in front of Chantiliy, when fairly straightened *>ut in the back etretoh Kilrain was four lengths in front of Chantiliy with Free Coinage seven lengths further back, two lengths in front of Fay, five ahead of Chas. Derby, half way up the back Btretch Free Coinage broke and was quickly passed by Fay who went on in hot pursuit of the leaders. Chantiliy broke all to pieces on the turn and was passed by Fay who came into the home stretch four lengths behind Kilrain with Chantiliy five further back and tbe same distance behind her came Free Coinage in front of Derby. Kilrain stopped a good deal in the stretch but vigorously driven out won by three lengths from Fay, at intervals of three lengths came Free Coinage, Chantiliy and Derby, while Larco was 150 yards oat. Time, 2:31 J. Mu- tual s on the heat paid $14. Second heat. Pools sold, Fay $30, Chantiliy, Kilrain and the field $9 each, and finally settled down to S25 for Fay, $9 for Chantiliy, $6 for the field and $4 for Kilrain. At the third score the quintette received the word and'keDt well to- gether to the turn when Fay left his feet in a buck jumping break and fell back, while Kilrain took the lead and all set- tling to work the quarter post was passed in the following order: Kilrain, Free Coinage, Chas. Derby, Fay and Chan- tiliy, two lengths separating each of them, Derby went up to the leader at the three furlong pole and drew right away, going round the turn three lengths in front of Kilrain who was two lengths in advance of Free Coinage with Fay three lengths further back, the heat was all over as Derby trotting Bteadily won easily by three lengths, Brandow getting sec- ond place four lengths in front of Fay, three lengths in ad- vance of Kilrain who finished very distressed, Chantiliy was a bad last. Time, 2:25}. Mataals in the heat paid $31. Third heat. Derby was now made a red hot favorite at $50 to $15 for the whole field. The big five were got away at the second attempt. Derby broke all to pieces before the turn and again on the turn while Fay trotted away from the the field passing the quarter five lengths in front of Kilrain with Free Coinage at his wheel and Derby seven lengths be- hind just ahead of Chantiliy, Free Coinage went past Kil- rain and increasing his pace cat down Fay's lead to three lengths at the head of the stretch and catching him half way down the stretch carried him to a break and won the heat slowing up by three lengths, Fay second, Chantiliy was third a length in front of Derby just clear of Kilrain the trio bare- ly saving their distance. Peter Brandow returned to the stand his face wreathed in smiles amidst a storm of ap- plause. Time, 2:27^. Mntuals on the heat, the whole field against Derby paid $13 60. Fourth heat.— No pools were sold, the pace engaging the attention of the betting public. After scoring up several times, Goldsmith and Griffin were fined $5 each for coming ]n front of the pole horse, and after scoring a few more times they were sent off altogether. Chantiliy broke before the first turn and dropped back, while Fay took th6 lead and went into tbe backstretch a length in front of Silver Coinage, sev- en in front of Derby who was clear of Kilrain and Chantiliy. Coinage was level with Fay at the three-eighths pole, but breaking, Fay drew well away, passing the half sis lengths in front of Coinage with a gap of five lengths between each of the others. Coinage decreased the lead round the turn, but breaking before the stretch was reached, was aix lengths behind. Fay, however, broke, and let him get even at the drawgate, when the Abbotsford gelding broke again and Fay won handily by three lengths, followed by Free Coinage, Chantiliy, Charles Derby and Kilrain three lengths apart. Time, 2:28|. Mutuals paid $12.35. Fifth heat — Pools sold $25 Fay, $5 Silver Coinage and $15 for the field. A start was obtained very quickly, all five staying together to the turn, when Chantiliy broke. Fay led jnto the backstretch a length and a half in front of Charles Derby, who was two lengths in front of Free Coinage. Chas. Derby got to Fay's neok at the half, and carrying him too fast, the gelding broke and Holly gained a three lengths lead and trotting squarely and steadily the brown stallion won the heat with ease by three lengtbB, Fay second a length in front of Free Coinage, Chantiliy fourth forty yards further back, and Kilrain distanced, 100 yards out. Time, 2:30. Mutuals paid $9.50. Sixth heat— Chantiliy went to the stable after the laBt heat for not getting a heat in five. No pools were sold, the race being thought all over from the easy way iu which Derby won, however the brown stallion was not in the hunt. After Bcoring up for quarter of an hour the two were started. Derby broke before the turn, and was out of the race; Coin- age followed suit going round the torn, and Fay led seven lengths past the quarter and increased it to the three-eighths, when he broke, and Coinage got to within three lengths at the half, and pressing him hard, was two lengths behind at the head of the stretch. Half way down the stretch Coinage collared Fay, who broke, and the veteran Brandow went past, winning the heat easily by a length, despite a good finish by Fay. Derby, who was 200 yards back, was distanced. Time, 2:33$. Mutuals on tbe heat paid $16.25. Seventh heat— Pools sold: Silver Coinage $30 to $20 Fay. They were sent away the first time, Fay going out a length in front to the half when Fay broke, and Coinage went round the turn five lengths in front, and going very steadily, won by about that distance.

The trio were sent off the first time, Hummer and Princess Alice going out at a merry clip, lead Kupee two lengths round the turn. Hummer had half a length the best of it to the half in 1:08 J, and round the upper turn with Rupee seven lengths behind. Hummer broke badly on get- ting into the homestretch, and lost the lead, the Stockton mare, Princess Alice, winning easily by three lengths, Hum- mer five in front of Rupee. Time, 2:22. Mutuals on the heat paid $13.90. Second heat — The Princess' victory in the first heat altered the complexion of the betting. Pools sold: Princess $30, Hummer $20, Rupee $10. The word was given at the Becond attempt, with all three pacing well. Hummer broke and lost his position before the turn. Princess Alice led past the quarter by two lengths, Rupee three in front of Hummer, who was coming fast, and at the three-eighth post all three were level; Hummer, who was on the inside, had half a length advantage of Princess on the turn, while Goldsmith had pulled in behind them. Hummer carried Princess Alice very wide round the turn into the homestretch, and Gold- smith came in a hurry on the rails, and with Hummer break- ing twice before the wire, the three-year-old Wilkes won cleverly by two lengths from Princess Alice, the same dis- tance in advance of Hummer. Time, 2:21J. Mutuals on the heat paid $23 35. Third heat— A heavy lot of pools were sold at $30, Rupee to $15 for the field, while just before the start $12 was the best offer for the field. The trio were sent away in short order, Rupee and Princess Alice taking the lead round the turn; at the quarter the mare was a longth in front of Rupee with Hummer three lengths behind. The latter broke but caught cleverly at the three furlong pole, and was only three lengths behind Princess Alice and Rupee, who were head and head at the half in 1:09}. The Princess hung on to Rupee until thirty yards past the half, when she broke al* to pieces and was passed by Hummer, who oamo fast round the turn, being only two lengths behind Rupee at the head of the stretch. Rupee, however, held him safe all the way, winning by three lengths with Princess Alice fifty yards baok. Time, 2:19J. Mutuals paid $9. Fourth heat— The judges substituted Shaner for Garrity behind Hummer. No betting was indulged in by the public before or after the change, it being conceded a gift for Rupee by the talent who were not mistaken, for when a stretch was made Hummer again broke just before leaving the stretch, while Princess Alice and Rupee went head and head to tho quarter. Rupee surely but slowly paced away from the Princess, while Hummer closed up to her and passed her at the half, five lengths behiud Rupee, who was driven right along by Goldsmith, winning the heat by seven lengths from Hummer with Princess Alice a bad third.

Time, 2:33}. Mutuals paid SS 90. Second heat-No pools, no nothing, everyone tired out Anna Belle led five lengths round the turn and breaking at the quarter let Myrtle up but soon drew away again and won all the way by seven lengths. Time, 2:38. SUMMARY. Fkidat. A large crowd tamed out to witness the Ladies' tourna- ment and the racing. At a quarter to two o clock the fair equestriennes appeared on the track, and at er the usual ex. ercises the Judges, H. M. LaRue, Geo. C. McMullen, A. P Culver L Hoyt, and C. S. Crittenden awarded the following pnzsB-' First premium, $40, Mrs. 0. B. Boyce; second, $30. Miss Mary Carroll of Vallep: third, $20, Mrs. J. F. Swift; fourth $10, Miss Eva Ward; fifth, $5, Miss C. Caldwell. Mr LaRue in a brief but pleasant manner, announced the awards and thanked the lady ccmpetitors for their presence, and then the track was cleared for the thoroaghbred brigade. Three races were given; the first a half mile and repeat was very close all the way, Lida Fargnson winning both heats in good time, while the mile and a half, which was run between the heats, was run in the exceptionally good time of 2:3% the last race, a mile dash, was one of the prettiest races ever witnessed, Murphy and Alfarata running locked together all the way round, and it was only in the last few strides that the mare got in front. The postponed district trot proved a good thing for R. Murphy's Maudee who won in straight heats. The special turned out to be a gift for the pacer Cora C, con- trary to all expectation, as it was thought Alcona Jr. would go much faster than he did. The mare Cora C who got a record of 2:2S£ in the last heat, is by Whippleton 1833, dam by Naubue 504, granddam by Viek's Ethan Allen. First-heat-Fools sold rapidly at §25 Ferguson to $10 Ida Glenn, and $5 for the field, and finally wound up at §30 Ferguson to S10 for the whole field. A delay of nearly an hour took place at the post, caused by the fractiousness of Juniata. Eventually they were sent off well together. Fer- gnson and Glenn went to the front on the turn and swung into the stretoh together, while Juniata closed up on the in- side. Ferguson won handily by a length from Glenn, Juniata two lengths back third, Kitty Lamb fourth, and Ser- polette last. Time, 0:49. Mutuals paid $7 60. Second heat— No pools sold. After a long delay at the post the flag was dropped to a fair start. Ferguson and Glenn went right away from the field, running neck and neck ell the way. Ferguson on the inside won cleverly by a neck from Glenn with Juniata third three lengths back, Serpolette fourth and Kitty Lamb last. Time, 0:48£. Mutuals paid §6.40. SUMMARY.

When word was given Kafir broke and dropped back while Maudee set the pace passing the quarter three lengths in front of Leoline, two in front of Kafir and Antevano out of the hunt; the order was unchanged all the way round, Maudee winning easily by three lengths, Kafir getting Becond place from Leoline who broke at the distance. Time, 2:33A. Mutuals j.aid $9.40. Second heat. Maudee sold readily at $25 to $11 for the field. After scoring up several times the four were sent away in good style, Maudee went out in front leading a length past the quarter with Leoline second and Kafir third. Antevano went past all three in a clatter before the half and increasing his advantage had five lengths lead of Leoline at the head of the stretch when he looked all over a winner, Maudee well handled came with a rush the last hundred yards winning by half a length. Time, 2:38*. Mutuals paid $7.40. Third heat— No pools sold. Bayliss drove Antevano in- stead of Mr. Shatter, at the latter's request. After scoring up four times a start was effected, Maudee and Leoline set- ting the pace, Antevano breaking twice on the turn, fell back last.

Another one of tho3e dust storms made life a burden for a time at the track yesterday. Fortunately it did not last to exceed an hour, and the racing was only deferred that length of time, but no doubt the unpleasant weather early in the afternoon kept many visitors away from the track. The day was full of surprises to the plungers, and the first surprise struck the pool bos votaries with the first race. A suspicion lurked around the judges' stand before the colts started io their quarter run that crooked work was going on, and when the jadgea saw the horses under way they were' convinced of it. Accordingly all bets were declared off and Enos, Ollie Benjamin's pckey, was expelled from further mount on the association track for "pulling his horse. " The second surprise came with the seoond race. Roly Boly, a horse that went begging as a fielder in the pools, cut out the way at the start and led her trio of contestants by a length to the finish. The mutuals paid §16 75. The first heat in the 2:40 trot furnished the third surprise, when Ben Williams, almost overlooked in the pools took the heat. What's the matter with the bay gelding's winning the sec- ond heat?" shouted an enthusiastic spectator as the horses came tearing down the homestretch with Ben Williams half a length in the lead; but Julietta soon forged ahead and passed under rhe wire first by a neck. Jt was left for Pro- crastination to complete the full measure of surprises and this the black stallion did by winning the third and fourth heats. The raoe pools sold like hot waffles on the quarter of a mile race. This race saved the talent from the soup in every event of the day. Following is the SUMMARY.

Butte, Aug. 16. — The fifth day's racing of the West Side Association attracted the largest attendance of the meeting. A high northwe3t wind blew during the racing which, freighted with dust from the back streets and smoke from the Parrot smelter, did not tend to put the big crowd in good humor, especially those who failed t<"> plaie tbeir money on the winning horse, but the racing was first class and excit- ing, the free for all trot in particular. The talent made a p'ethoric dump on this race. Manning sold favorite. The loss of the first heat which was taken by Condee with- out a break in 2:20, did not seem to cool the ardor of the bay gelding's backers, and when Manning, in the second heat, Dassed under the wire a length ahead ot Condee his admirera were frantic with joy, and rushed pell mell to the pool box to place more money on their favorite. Condee and Man- ning now had one heat each. The latter sold favorite $100 to $10. The next heat was a great raci between the leaders from start to finish. Condee made the circle one length in ad- vance. The chestnut gelding was greeted with cheers. Manning's backers now weakened and tried to hedge, but it was too late. The fielder had captured their boodle. A whole lot of money went into the pools. Following is the summary of the day's racing. SUMMARY. First racs, trotting, 3-year-olds, S50 each, S250 added.

Toe weather was chilly, and last night's and this morning's rainfall left the track very heavy. Whether or not the heavy track opened the way for Toby to win the 2:35 trot in three straight heats and Wilder to perform wonders in the GOO yards dash is not quite clear, but the tail coders won juat the same, and in the former race a SG investment on Uncle Toby returned to the purchaser a round $100.

Butte, Aug. 19th.— Today was the most pleasant day of the race meeting; no wind nor dust, track fast and a large at- tendance to see the sport. The association put up a large programme, one, in fact, with so many events that darkness shut out the two-mile running race. It was favorites' day with the exception of the special trot, which was a poor race at best and savored of a job. The "official tips" so-called, named the winners. In the running race, half mile heats. Sunday was disqualified after the first heat for not being at his weight. ThiB gave Tim Morphy a walk over. The 2:27 trot proved the event of the day.

BrjTTE.Aug. 20— The autumn meeting of the West Side Bacing Association closed with to-day's races. Fully 2,000 p9op!e witnessed the sport, and rousing sport it was through- out. The plungerB were in their element and kept the pool sellers busy placing big money on their favorites. About 330,000 found its way into the pool bos. The short end play- ers were generally unsuccessful, though they realized a good clean up on Olympia in the five-eighths run and again on the first heat of the free-for-all trot, when the mntuals paid $23 75. The one-quarter dash was the time event of the day, and it was a performance that goea on record as a world beater. Button's bay gelding Bab Wade made the dash in 21|, beat- ing the world's record by one quarter of a second. Several timers in the grand stand stopped their watches on 21 sec- onds even. Nettie S. followed the winner neck and neck and only lost by a nose. At the conclusion of the first heat in the free for-all, Stone- road, Condee's driver, made a vigorous kick that Hilton's driver cut him off at the three quarter post. Suspicions of some crooked work the judges changed Hilton's driver after the second heat but this did not change the result of the race Manning's great rival Condee, was not at his best and the bay gel ling's victory was comparatively eaBy. About $160,- 000 passed through the pools during the meeting. Jockey Enos was reinstated.

Slid a prominent thoroughbred breeder to a Tennesse® writer: "The demand juat now is for two-year-old stake win- ners, and my idea is that the way to produce them is by crossing the imported blood on our native mares. Look at imp. Mr. Pickwick. He showed what he could do in this line. But that is not all. Look at Salvator, Tenny, Prince Koyal, Badge, Firenzi, Baceland, Fides, Reclare, French Park, Exile, Racine, Sir John and other good ones. All are by imported Bires out of imported dams. Look at the Bon- nie Scotlands. They raced early and raced on. Look at the get of Rayon d'Or, Billet, St. Blaise, Glengarry, The 111- Used, Prince Charlie, King Ban, Glenelgand other promin- ent sires. JDo you suppose, if Mr. Piokwiok had lived, the publio would have ever been able to reach him? Not much. Mr. Reed knew his worth and outside mares would not have been allowed to him at any price." 168 |£ltc |ktcte atttl jgywctsttrntt. Aug. 30 ia said TUEF AND TRACK Devotee, the bread-winner of the Madison Stable to be hopelessly broken down, E. A. Campbell has purchased from Byron McClelland, for $1,000; a two-year-old tilly by Billet. Salvator has won for his owner 3113,280 in states and pnrses, while Firenzi has $102,026 to her credit. Inspector B., one of the best living sons of Enquirer, has broken down at last, after being a cripple for two years. F Gebhard disposed of the two-year-old colt Oolderwood, by Hindoo ont of imp. Inca by Vedette, to T. Newton at Brighton. . The eross value of the Junior Champion Stakes won by Strathmeath, was §28 045, while the Champion Stakes, won by Salvator, were worth only $4,750. The Omnibus was worth $19,950 to the winner. By cap- turing this stake Tournament has enriched hi. i on« $45, 600, as his other win-the Realization-was worth $2o,650. Chaos' owner must be kicking himself for not consenting to divide the $21,950, which he could have shared with Sen- ator Hearst in the Omnibus. Now he has to be content with $3,000 for winning second and third. Mr W H E. Smith has decided not to go East with AI Farrow, and as a result that fast horse will race at West Side Park Chicago, until the opening of the fall campaign a Louisville. Several parties desiring to take the horse East have made flattering offers for him, but as yet no one has reached Mr. Smith's figure, whiohis said to be $10,000, quite high for a five-year-old horse. , 111 luck is still following the Dwyer Bros.' horses. Eon threw out a splint and has been let up in work. Eongstreet is not doing at all well, and McCabe thinks his wind is affec- ted Kingston, Sir John, Blacklock and Baychester are all doing well. Kingston was to have started m the Beaverwyck Stakes, but was withdrawn when it was found that he would have to carry 131 pounds. It is proposed to tax French bookmakers by imposing a tax of £400 a year on the pencillers who carry on theii r calling within the reserved enclosure at Longchamps, Auteull and Vincennes, leased by the City of Pans to the different race societies; £160 on those working in the side stands and out- side on the course, and £80 on those who depend solely on the small fish who pay ft franc to go on the coarse. Kupee, the three year old Gay Wilkes pacer was worked with an eight ounce shoe behind until Wednesday of last week when Goldsmith had his hind shoes removed and three lunce shoes put on instead. The colt showed great im- provement and the following day won the 2:30 pace after laying up the tirst heat won by Princess Alice in 2;22 ; the 3 year old took the next three heats in 2-.2U; and 2:191 and 2:20. The Chicago Stable has definitely decided to sell out its entire stable of race horses in training, and yearlings in the autumn Mr. William Easton has been commissioned to hold this important sale, which in all probability will take place at the Westchester race track during the progress of that meeting, This sale will offer an unusually good oppor- tunity for purchasers to buy some of the best race horses in the country. John Williams came down to Napa last Thursday. He says that with ordinary luck 2:20 will be no mark for Alaska Kancho Del Paso's Electioneer stallion. The horse has had bad feet for four or rive years and been given a heavy stud season, yet with about two month's work he easily went a mile in '-"O at the same time John says the inBide of the track was cut up deep for runners and he had to keep out all the going, in reality at least fifty yards over a mile. The three-year-old race at Nicholasville on Saturday, Aug. 15 1890, was one of the greatest races trotted this year- five heats and all better than 2:30. It was won by Nellie Mason a'daughter of Onward, out of a Woodford Mambrino mare The second dam is said to be a thoroughbred. Blameless, by Black's Hambletonian, dam by Governor Sprague; second dam Lucille, 2.21, by Exchequer, was sec- ond. Certainly in this race the thoroughbred blood was close up. Peter Brandow is about as shrewd as most men. He Bold his nomination in the 2:30 class at Napa and entered instead in the 3:00 class and agreed with everyone else to rive Beaury Mc first money to stay out. The race was not over until seven heats had been trotted, Peter being always in the first three and when he wound up the race in the seventh heat Fay was the only contesting horse, three hav- ing been distanced and Goldsmith sent to the stable under the role not having a heat in five. With only about six weeks work the veteran B. C. Holly got the Steinway stallion Charles Derby into Buch improved form that on Thursday last at Napa he won the second and fifth heits in 2:25 J and 2;30, and looked as though be had the race at his mercy,' but in the sixth heat he broke before the turn, and could not raise a trot or even a gallop, finishing badly distressed, 500 yards behind. Mr. Hollyat once cal ed in a veterinary, and after two hours hard work on him the horse was in better trim . The doctor sayB he was suffering from congestion of the heart." The judges laBt in authority at City View, E. J. Jeffrey, P J Mann and Joe Buchtel, says the Oregoman, have ruled Barney McCough and Billy Waterford off the track for abus- ive language to the judges. The directors will sustain them in the ruling. People may get the idea into their heads after awhile that Portland is getting to be a horse town, and that the rules and regulations of first-class tracks will be enforced here. The time has come when a man can be a breeder and racing horBeman, and still be a gentleman. If Sir John had won the historical Travers Stakes at Sar- atoga on Tuesday, it would have gone far towards placing Sir Moored at the head of the winning sires of the year. Ihe race fell to English Lady Miser, out of Bonny Lass, owned Dy °he brothers Scoggan. This is the F.uglieh Lady's fifth victory out of ten starts for this season. Miser is a h: tie blind horse by Australian-Aerolitean is therefore own brother o Baldwin's Rutherford. Bonny Lass was by imported Buck- den (bv Lord Clifden— Consequence by Bay Middleton) her dam the once favorite Alabama mare, Bonaventure, by Harry of the West— Maggie G by Brown Diok. The Btud of the late T. J. Megibben, one of Kentucky s most noted tnrfmen, has been offered at private Bale. It consists of forty-six brood mares and the three stallions, Springbok, imp. Moccasin, and Andrain. The English breeder, Mr. Broderick Cloete, has sustained a great loss in the death of his stallion Paradox. This i son of Sterling was a very notable performer in 18S4 and 18So, and was Bold to the Duke of Westminster for a big figure prior to the Middle Park Plate. He was resold to Brodenok Cloete, and under that gentleman's colors won the Dewhurst I late. Ab a thiee-year-old he won the Two Tbonaand, after a des- perate finish with Crafton, and for the Derby another great struggle was witnessed between Milton and Paradox the latter, under F. Webb, having apparently the beBt of it to within the last few strides, when Fred Archer got Melton b head in front, and he just won. ~M7'William Glassford, now here, says the Portland Ore- goman, has the distinction of having owned the first trotter to do better than 2:30 in Oregon. It was Bel flower, by Mill- man's Bellfounder, dam by Colonel Bidwell s Morgan. She was bred and raised at Walla Walla, and according to Mr Glassford's recollection, did a mile in 2:29 odd at Portland in the winter of 1875. Jimmy Wtlch, an old trainer, now dead, took her to California and sold her to Col. Ayres for $5 000 from there Bhe went to New York and got into the hands of Ed. Stokes, who gave her a record m a double team of 2:'22. This must be the same Bellflower Wallace gives as having done 2:284 at Portland in 1879. Among the horses that will be offered for sale at the break- ing up of the New Zealand stud in October is St. Leger, by Doncaster ont of Atlantis by Thormanby. She was the dam of King Ban, sire of Ban Fox, King Fox and other notable good ones. St. Lager is described by Capt . Merry as a very handsome golden chestnut, about sixteen hands high and of great length of body. He is nine years old and his get will make their debut on the New Zealand turf during the com- ing season. All the progeny are of good size and great bone being especially strong in the forelegs, and it will be a great oitv if some American breeder does not secure tnis valuable young horse. He will not bring over $8,000 at auction. On the petition of the gambling house proprietors in Chi- cago, whose establishments have been closed up by Ed Cor- rigan of the West Side, in his efforts to maintain the monop- oly of pool selling privileges, alleged to be conferred upon him bv the Illinois'law, the race reporters at Saratoga, Mon- mouth and other Eastern tracks, have deohned to furnish Corrigan's partner, Ulman, with further reports ot races, ex- cept at the fancy price of $100 per day. The Telegraph Company has also told Ulman he could no longer do business over the wire except at full rates. Ulmir. is considering the advisability of taking the matter into the the courts. Col C. A. Broadwater, of Helena Montana, has purchased the chestnut filly Katisha, of Huntly & Clarke, to match hu cheBtnut driving horse, Kussel B., who has a record of 2:52. They make a magnificent buggy team— medium sized, trim as possible, and quite speedy. They are easily worth *1000 EumorB regarding the Bale of the Saratoga track are ai freely circulated among the people here now as in previous jj» ircuiaieu uinoug mc pu^i^ uv.u -~.. — -- r ---- Some time ago the statement was made says thu lit* ■■■ ■ t "Old Redbrick, the pride of San Lnis Valley died at Sag- uache, Colorado last winter." I mentioned the circumstance to that well known trainer and owner B. C. Holly the other day He was a good honesi old horse said By but he had no show with Little Casino, and then the veteran turf man grew reminiscent. For those I travelled many a mile to get a match on and nearly always found that they would not put up when I got there but the Redbriok Little Casino match was a genuine old time plunge. Ei Corrigan, Dan Lamas- ney and myself won $27,000 on the race and the Mexicans who backed Little Casino won all the horses and cattle in the country. The match was as near as I recollect and 1 should know for it was mad« in my barn, 650 yards Little Casino to carry catch weights. Redbrick 140 lbs. After the first fifty yards the race was over Casino, winning in a walk. The recent decision of John W. Rogers, trainer for Capt. S S Brown to give up his position and to hereafter devote his time to the care of his property in Denver, has induced Capt Brown to retire from the turf. He lately gave orders to Col. S. D. Bruce to make the necessary arrangements for the sale of the entire racing stable at auction. The Bale will be held at the paddock during either the Sheepshead Bay or Morris Park meeting this fall. The horses to be sold mclode Senorita, BnddhiBt, Cortez, Reporter, Demuth, Long Run and the other horses that have carried the cherry and b lue of the Pittsburg Stable. Several two and three year olds that have not yet run will also be sold, as will the yearlings that have been broken. ..... . Capt.

Nest l report was circulated that property just north of Horse Hav en had been Becured, and that the new track would be loca ted there. Now it is said that Mr. Spencer has agreed to sel his interest in the old track and that the intending purobaa ers have agreed to his terms. It is certain that negotiation have not been completed for the sale, although parties in terested in the deal claim that the business has been settled The very latest report about the matter to-night is that thi track has positively been sold. It is said that the deal wai made on Saturday night. The names given of the partte who have formed the syndicate are Mr. Arkell, ex-Judg. William A.

After a while an entirely new track will be built A disagreement between an owner and a driver is ordinaril a personal affair between the parties concerned and som thing that is none of the business of the public sayB tk Horseman. But the circumstanceB surrounding the now oe ebrated and unfortunate rupture between C. J. Hamlin an bis driver, W. J. Andrews, at the late Buffalo meeting, wei such that the case has became one ol public concern, if il deed it may not be said to have assumed the status of a gra\ turf scandal. The Horseman has neither the right nor tl inclination to prejudge a matter that rests so largely npo rumor, but as the generally printed version has not been coi tradicted by either Mr. Hamlin or Mr. Andrews, it is in oidi to remind all concerned that it cannot be allowed to rest as is without bringing discredit upon not only the Buffalo tra< and Mr. Hamlin, but the National Trotting Association i well. The current story is that Mr. Hamlin reprimanded »» practically discharged his trainer for winning a heat, or other words for not obeying Mr. Hamlin's instructions to pi the horse. This is a very Berions charge, and the fact tb Mr. Hamlin is a rich man, ft leading breeder and the dictat. of the Buffalo track is no palliation, bnt rather an aggravate of the offense charged in the current reports, which we a very unwilling to believe. There is noihing plainer in all tl l — ~f |U v,it;,-mj TrnHino Aaem(.intinn than the clause I H Mr. A. G. Campbell's mare Bonita died at Saratoga on the 16th of August after an illness of several days. Foaled in 1883 she was bv Grinstead out of Maggie Emeraon, dam by Lucy B., Golia'h, Sinaloa II and Cleopatra by Baywood, and consequently full sister to Sinaloa II. Her first appearance was in the Ladies' Stakes at Louis- ville which was won in a canter. She then went to Lato- nia and captured the Clipsetta StakeB from a good field.- This early promise was not fulfilled in her later two year old career, and as a three year old she only won two purses at Chicago. But the following year the Great Western Handicap was placed to her credit, and many Western turf- goers will remember the way in whioh ahe ran away from a field of twenty-four at the same meeting. In 18S8 she took part in no less than thirty-three races, only four of which were sacoesses, aud last year she won five events out of twenty -five attempts. As a brood mare mare she would have proved valuable. Henry Chaplin, the proprietor of the Blankney Stud Farm, Lincolnshire, England, and owner of the defunct Hermit, has replaced his phenomenal Bire (Hermit), by Friar's Bal- sam, a five-year-old son of Hermit and Flower of Dorset. The Friar was as a two year-old the beat in Enaland, win- ning among other races in 1SS7 the Middle Park Plate, which is the orack two-year-old race. His mouth troubled him since, and he was never in bis br-st form. He was owned by Sir Frederick Johnstone aud Lord Abngton until Mr Chaplin purchased the lalter'B interest for $10,000, and as the property of Sir Frederiok and Mr. Chaplin he will stand ut the latter gentleman's renowned Blankney Stud. His book is already full for 1891 at $500 a mare. On the same stnd farm is the celebrated Galopin (Vedette— Flying Duchess, by Flying Dutchman), Bire of, among many other cracks, St. Simon, Galliard, Corrie Roy, Modwena and oth- ers. Galopin last season took twenty-six publio mares at $900 ench, besides five of Mr, Chaplin's; his book is full for 1891, at $1000 each, aud there are only half a dozen vaoan- oies in the 1892 book, very uuwuiiu^ iu ucnc ,o. j.uo.o id uu*— ...& v* rules of the National Trotting Association than the clause . lating to "pulling" a horse, or so driving him as to "preve: his winning a heat which he was evidently able to win;" at that rule provides that if the owner be a party to the fiat he must be punished, as well as the driver, by fine or expt sion. Mr. Hamlin is charged with instructing his driver pull Wardwellin a heat which he in the most conclusive ma ner showed that "he was evidently able to win," aud ll charge further goes that the driver was dismissed from >' Hamlin's service simply for driving honestly. As already marked, we are loathe to accept these reports at par, L. Mr. Hamlin's duty not only to himself bnt to the breedif and trotting interest urgently demands Buch an explanatl aB will dispel this scandal, which cannot now be "hushed o or buried by silenoe. We trust that when the whole trn is known the harsh crilicisms that have abounded in the may be rendered pointless, and that no stain may rema upon the reputation of the trotting turf. The racing writer of the New Tork Tribune, perhaps t most fearless and able turf oritio of the day, handles t new Monmouth Park without gloves. He 6ays: "Ne' has a race course in any country been so constant and ri a source of profit to thebookmakers as the new Monmot Park, with its wonderful straight traoka. It was predior with the most conspicuous emphasis and assurance tl when we had the faultless and altogether admirable Eogli courses in this country there would be no more strauge vfl ations of public form, that horses would no longer be pot eted or interfered with, that the best horses would carry the prizes, and that the public with united voice would j( in the heartiest acclaim and approval of the plan of starn horses at Eatonlown and running them to Little Silver, the contesting animals out of Bight of the spectators for tenths of the way, unless these spectators were pro-,« with the most powerful and expensive field glasses in . world. But for some inexplicable reason the expected suits have not been attained. There are more singular a eccentric variations of form at Monmouth than ever curred before on any race track in the world . The M maBB of race-goers are moie profoundly bewildered dally the impossibility of getting the least indication how hoi will ran in any particular race from the manner in wh they bave run in previous races. It may be that the bop™ what unsettled and uncertain condition of the surface of new tracks at Monoiouth may account for some of these l vagaries, but althongh there may be soft spots here i there, modulations of consistency and diversities of compf uess in the make-np of these trackB, still these ins and o of the area could not poSBibly explain all the ins and outs the running of any large percentage of them. There is evidence to confirm any oynical and pessimistic dishOL theory that owners, trainers and jockeys are any more l honest at Monmouth than they are at other traoks, bat stoutest of the AnglomaniacB, after the thorough test wh has been given to the Monmouth oourse during July and tirst part of August, cannot venture to claim that aocidl and mishaps are any leas frequent, that peculiarities oM ning are less marked aud amazing, that consistency is l better preserved, that running is any truer, or that raoin any higher or better in any way on the straight tracks Monmouth than on the oval course at Brooklyn or at Shei head Bay. So mnoh is settled. In truth, all the unfortnl and regretable elementB of racing are even more prevfl and more injurious at Monmouth than on the oval cor mentioned. Mr. Withers may yet have to revise hia id Britannia is a wonderful country, and in some turf uimI she is still Inr ahead of the United States, but that the E liBh eyatem of running horses on straight courses will * become more popular in this republio than the good American fashion of oval traoks is anything but plaio present." 1890 1&* Ifrjcjete until J^prorlsmatr. 169 IORTHWESTERN BREEDERS' ASS'N.

The heavy rain of Wednesday night had made the track at Washington Park very heavy for the Breeders' Meeting Thursday, and it was not without considerable disoussion that the racing stewards determined to carry out the day's programme. The fine weather overhead had brought out fully 2,500 people, and in order not to disappoint them it was thought better to go on with the raoing. The Standard Stakes were postponed, as it would not have been of any use to attempt to give a horse a record, and the match race between Palo Alto and Jack was postponed till Friday, one of the conditions of it being that it should be trotted on a fine day and a good track. In order that those who had come to the Park for the purpose of seeing this race might not be disappointed, it was announced that all who had tickets should hold them, and that they would be good for the next day. This was very liberal on the part of I the management, and bronght forth the applause it deserved. It was nearly 3 o'clock before the racing commenced, aa with a light card it was deemed beBt to give the track all possible time to dry. There was a great deal of scratching in all the races, and the fields were small. The times in the different events were necessarily slow, and nothing of any note occurred. The first raco on the programme was for the two-year-olds, Belle Cassett selling for $30 and the field for $50. The favorite won easily as will be seen by the follow- ing SUMMARY.

There were fully 9,000 people at "Washington Park yester- day, the chief event being the great matoh between Palo Alto and Jack. Jaok had beaten the Californian at Detroit in a matoh, but had had to succumb to him in the free for all at Buffalo, and great interest centered in their third meet- ing. It was of interest to breeders, as Palo Alto represents the trotter with the thoroughbred, while Jack is trotter all through. Both horses have plenty of admirers, for while Palo Alto was a warm favorite, abundant money went up on Jack. Harry Romaine, who was acting as commissioner for the Middleton party, took every pool he could get at $100 to $65 and $100 to $60. Had Jaok won their winnings would have been (considerable, and the party behind him must have lost pretty heavily. The racing commenced with the three standard stakes, which were won respectively by River Bend in 2:29i, Strath- bo in 2:24, and Atlanta Wilkes in 2:29£. In the Futurity stakes for three year olda, H. D.McKinney's Theresa Phall- mamont, by Phallamont, walked over in 2:40} and took the stakes. At 1:30 the first race was called. After the Standard Stakes oame the Hopeful Stakes for three-year-olds, in which there were nine BtarterB and the summary was as follows: SUMMARY.

Palo Alto brought $100 against Jack's $70. First heat. — They were on even terms when the word was given. Jack left Mb feet on entering the first turn, and PaJ0 Alto opened up a gap of two lengths at the quarter, where Jack was still in the air. When Doble finally succeeded in settling the gray gelding he was eight lengths to the bad- Palo Alto, with never a skip or a break, came on and won by five lengths, Marvin easing him up in the last few yards. Second heat.— Palo Alto $50, Jack $18, was the way the pools sold now. They were sent away again on even terms. Palo Alto had the foot of the gray gelding, however, and was first by two lengths at the quarter, and this advantage he had increased to three lengths at the half. Jack gained on the Californian at every stride as they swung aronnd the upper turn, and entering tiie stretch he was only a length behind the leader and coming fast. A distance out Jack's nose was at Palo Alto's wheel, but here he left hie feet and before Doble could steady him Palo Alto had reached the wire, he winning by a length. Third huat— There was hardly any betting, but a few pools sold Palo Alto $25, Jack $15. After scoring twice they got the word, with Palo Alto half a length in front. Around the turn the Californian increased his lead, and at the quarter he was two lengths in front, the pace being fast and the time 33 seconds. Along the backstretch the clip was kept up. Palo Alto gaining, and at the half, which was made in 1:06$, he was leading by three lengths. There was a little slackening of speed going around the turn, and Jack gained slightly, but at the three-quarters Palo Alto was still two lengths in front, and the distance hid been trotted in 1:40J. Swinging into the straight the pace increased, and Doble strained every nerve with Jack to catch the speedy Californian. It was of no avail, for though the gray horse answered gamely to the whip, and never attempted to break, he oould not catoti hia rival, who oame under the wire a somewhat easy winner by Three- quarters. Mile, 1:44 2:1R$ 1.42 2:15 1;401 2;13 two lengths in 2:13, the fastest time ever made in a race. The last quarter was trotted in 321 seconds, and the last half made in 1:06£. Marvin was loudly cheered on hiB return to the judges' stand, and Jaok caBt a wistful eye at the time that was hung out, as much as to say: "That's a little too fast for me."

Laying or Non-Sitting Varieties. Of these there is quite a large variety, all of which without exception have been developed in "Western and Southern Europe. The most numerous are known as the Mediterran- ean family, and include Anconas, Andalueians, Leghorns, Minorcas and Spanish, and these have spread very widely, as they are wonderful layers of large, white-shelled eggs. They are very sprightly in carriage, of medium size in body, moderately long in the neck, with a rather prominent breast and a flowing tail. The legs are medium in length, and the head is surmounted by a large Bingle comb, standing upright in the cock, and falling gracefully over in the hen. In all the earlobe is white, but in the Spanish this has been permitted to spread so mooh that it not only covers the face, but haDgs down several inches below it. The Hamburgh is another large family, but is more of a fancy breed, as their eggs are too small for marketing purposes. Anconas. — A variety which as yet has not been much bred, but is an excellent one. The plumage is speckled or mot- tled. ANDALtreiANs. — Sometimes called the Blue Spanish, for with the exception of the white face it is the same in all other respects. The color of the plumage is deep blue on the breast, the rest of the body a deep elate blue, with lacing of darker color, save in the cock, where the hackle and sickle are of a rich glossy black or a deep purple. Is fairly hardy, but does not stand unfavorable conditions so well as do some other breeds, and should not be kept in confinement. Hamburghs. — Of these there are five colors, namely, ihe blacks, the gold-penciled, the gold-spangled, the silver-pen- ciled and the silver spangled. The blacks and the two varie- ties of spangles have been bred in Briiain for generations, chiefly in the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and they are at once exceptionally good layers — in fact, the best layers we have, and beautiful birds. The penciled varieties come to us from Holland, where they or the progenitors of our much improved Penciled Hamburghs are called Campines. For the reason already stated they are not to be recommend- ed for farmers. Houdans. — Best known of the French varieties, almoBt all of which are non-sitters, even where they are bred for the table. The Houdan has been very widely spread, and at one time appeared to be about the moBt popular of all the later introductions, but has been eclipsed by the Mediterranean and American breeds. It is a large fowl, with a squat-like body, and clean legs, the feet beaiingthe fifth toe, thus show- ing its relationship to the Dorking, which it resembles in shape. The comb is that known as leaf, and the head is sur- mounted by a moderate-sized crest. The plumage is speckled black and white, tbe former color predominating. It is an excellent layer, a good table fowl and hardy, well suited to farmers. Leghckns. — The most important of the Mediterranean races a splendid layer, moderate for the table, and very hardy. At first there were only two colors, but these have been greatly added to since the time of their introduction, about 18 years ago. The colors now known are — black, brown, buff, cham- ois, cuckoo, duckwing, pile, rose-combed and white. The browns and tbe whites are the most popular, the others being variations, which are of great interest to those who keep poultry for tbe sake of pleasure, and one or two may become more popular. The white is self-colored, the brown has markings like Black-Red Game fowls. All have yellow legs. Minoecas. — Sometimes known as Red-Faced Spanish, but while the latter were developed in Holland with an excessive white face, the Minorca has been bred in Devon and Corn- well more on the original lines. It is a pure black fowl in one variety, and pare white in the other, but the latter is sel- dom seen. The body is medium in size, with square appear- ance, set on moderately long legs, which is characteristic of the Mediterranean races. The comb is exceptionally large, and the legs are black or white respectively. It is the best layer of all, if we except tbe Hamburghs, and where eggs are the first consideration cannot be beaten, being hardy and an excellent forager. Polish. — Coma more into the category of fancy varieties, for though they are undoubtedly excellent layezs under fav- orable conditions, they are too delicate for such work as that under consideration. There are six colors, the chamois, the ermine, the gold-spangled, the silver-spangled, the white, and the white-crested black. The most notable characteristic in this breed is the large crest surmounting the head. Redcaps. — A breed which has recently come into notice as a wonderful layer. It would appear to be an unimproved Gold-Spangled Hamburgh, and probably the progenitor of the latter variety, as it has the same color and shape, though the markings have not been perfected as in that breed. The name is derived from the enormous comb surmounting the head, not unlike a cap in shape, a loosely fitting Tarn o'Shan- ter cap. It is equally prolific with the Hamburgh, but the eggs are much larger in size, and consequently it is of more value for practical purposes. Spanish.— Reference has already been made to the white face of the Spanish, whioh has been bred to such an extent that the natural stamina of the breed has been lost, and though an excellent layer of large white shelled eggs, it is too delicate for practical purposes. There are three colors, the black, blue and white, the first named being the most com- mon. Scotch Greys — A very valuable breed, which an its came I would imply has been chiefly bred in Scoiland. It has some- I what of the Mediterranean carriage, though perhaps more like the Dorking. It is large in body, has a single comb, white or mottled legs, and the body is white in ground color with markings of neat black moons on every feather* They i are well suited to the purpose under review, as the quality of the flesh is higher than most of the non sitting varieties. In selecting I should recommend as tbe best layers. Miu- ' orcas, Leghorns, Redcaps and Scotch Greys, in the order I named; beat layers and on the table, Scotch Greys and Hou- ] dans; hardiest. Minorcas, Leghorns, Redcaps, Scotch Greys. —Stephen Beale in Am. Cultivator. Sheep in America. Henry Stewart in New York Weekly times: It is most unfortunate that such an important agricultural industry as the rearing of sheep and the growing of wool should stand isolated as an interest depending upon the unsubstantial and ever-changing quick-sands of politics for its supposed pros- perity' and thus become the sport of every varying phase and current of public opinion, as a ship at sea wifhout rud- der or ballast, which ib blown hither and thither, and at times is laid on her beam ends in an utterly helpless condi tion. Indeed, this simile precisely represents the history of the shepherds' industry in the United States, for it has passed through numerous obanges within the memory of any man living — ups and downs, panics and booms, and Belf- inflicted disasters and losses incurred by senseless excite- ments which at times have rendered the flocks valueless, and at other times have made'.sheep eel! for a thousand each, and for more in special instances. No other agricultural industry is thus controlled by politi- cal changes, and while it is not the present purpose to dis- cuss this part of the snbjdct, yet it may be pointed out to all interested that this variable and uncertain entanglement is unqueBtionaUy an enormous detriment to those who are occupied in the rearing of sheep, from whatever point of view it may be considered. The profitable rearing of sheep depends upon some condi- tions of climate, soil, locality and mannex of culture of the soil, to each of which it is indispensable that the sheep selec- ted should be fitted. No other domestic animal is so molded and changed by its environments as sheep are, hence it is tbe very first condition required for success that the right sheep should be chosen tor the right place. Experience has Bhown that much loss and disappointment have occurred through neglect or ignorance of this fundamental necessity, and flocks imported from other countries and from under different conditions native to them have quickly withered and perished, as plants taken from hotbeds and moved directly to uncongenial soil and a frigid temperature have faded and withered away. Sheep, too, are kept for various purpose?, all incident to the varying conditions mentioned. Mutton, wool and the rearing of lambs for market are all special purposes for which sheep are desirable, and these depend not only upon the choice of the right sheep, but the selection of suitable localities, soils, climates and crops for feeding. It should go without tajing that tbe mutton Bheep should be kept within practicable reaoh of a market for the meat; that wool, vary- ing as it does to a v ry large extent with heat, cold, moisture or dryness of the air and manner of feeding, will be grown to the best profit by the keeping of sheep for the production of the most valuable grades of fleece, and that locality is of secondary consideration, for the reason that wool is more easily and cheaply transported than meat or live Bheep are; and that young lambs, being especially tender and subject to injury and damage by long transportation, should be reared within easy distance of the special markets, where they can be Bold to the best advantage, and these are in large cities. Considering all these points, it is easily real- ised that, as the value of land varys very much as to local- ity, the most profitable product only san be reared with advantage on the highest priced lands, which are found in the most thickly populated districts, A shepherd who rears lambs for sale early in the season, must necessarily expend several times as much money in the purchase of land as the one who rears sheep for mutton, and the wool-grower may safely place himself where land can be procured for still less money. As the cost of land is the largest item of expendi- ture, it is necessary to reduce this to the lowest limit practi- cable, and where land is most costly the best sheep only can be kept, and these are to be managed in Bucb a way as to involve the most labor that can be economically spent on the flock, and the contrary applies to different circumstances. Experience also proves that sheap are subject to so many adversities, naturally and artificially, that only experienced shepherds can successfully evade or prevent disorders. An old French proverb, "Qui a terre qui a guerre," (who has land has war,) applies to a flock still more pertinently. The shepherd must fight for his flock, not oDly against many diseases, changes of weather, numerous parasites, and most unexpected accidents on every hand, but agaiDst his neigh- bors who keep dogs that are permitted to roam at large on others' fields.'by day and by night, and frequently destroy a whole flock in a single night. If there is one other influence which damages the sheep industry more than this, there is but one— that above pointed out; but it is unquestionable that the general permission given to dogs to roam at large, reduces the flocks to one-half what they would otherwise be, and thus inflicts a most serious damage to Ameiican agri- culture. Considering all these points, inexperienced per- sons Bhonld begin cautiously in establishing a flock, starting with a few sheep only, and after mature preparations for their safe care as regards feeding and safety from injury. More particular consideration will be given to this part of the subject in future articles. America and England. A Lesson on Dairying:. I use Simmons Liver Regulator for my stock, horses and mules; it is tbe best medicine I know of. In cases of colic in stock It will save them if given in time. Recommend it. — R. Y. Cos, Haddock's Stable, M. & A. R. R. Nothing can be more diBingenuons than the contention that in attempting to keep out disease there is any wish to keep out food says the Mark Lane Express. In point of fact, the present regulations do not in the least check the supply of American meat. Uo the contrary, it has under them con- tinued to grow steadily and persistently. The imports of cattle from tbe United States have increisfld during the past three years from 94,000 head in 1887 to 204,000 bead in 1889. while for the first six months of the present year they were 185,000 head. TbeBe figures suffice to show how illusory is any complaint against the present slaughter-at-port regulation from the consumer's point of view. This, too, is without reckoning tbe vast increase in the importation of meat. For instance, the quantity cf fresh beef imported from the United StateBinl389 was 1,275,000 cwt, being almost precisely double what it was in 1887, while for the period January to June of the present year the quantity was 856,000 owt. These figures are conclusive as proving that American cat- tle and American beef are in nowise excluded by tbe present regulations, but that tbe importation of both is constantly in- creasing. Surely under these circumstances it is reasonable to ask that the eafeguards against the risk of the introduction of disease (with all its disastrous consequences both to farm- ers and to the public generally) shall not be recklessly set aside. Dairying is an industry that requires perpetual attention, and therefore is distasteful to many farmers. A field of growicg grain or dry stock in the pasture developes into wealth under general human oversight, wnile cows must be milked at least twice a day. One of the greatest stock tan- ciers in the dairy region in which the writer resides keeps barely enough milk animals to supply his table with dairy necessaries. He has a dread of milking and its confining exactions. He can see beauty in a prize cow, but does not care to become her attendant. We have understood that in the grain growing countries of the "West, where dairying has lately been introduced, that there exists, on the part of hired help, an antipathy to reg- ular milking. We have seen this tendency verified both East and West, and know of no remedy except the oultiva- tion of a more broad view of dairying as a pleasant and lucrative art. No man con be truly successful unle?s he is in love with his profession, and if you embrace dairying, do justice by it. Even if milking does come twice a aay, Sun- days included, the chore can be shorn of its disagreeable features by the possession of golden cows and convenient stable facilities. Aim to get a certain amount of milk from a few cows instead of from a great many, or in other words, aim high and strive to reach the mark. "When you feel that your business is paying you better than anything else you could follow, you will cease to consider its exactions and glory in its virtues. One of the most disheartening things to dampen the ardor of a good dairyman it to have the price of milk, butter or cheese to creep down toward zero, while his main financial dependence is wrapped up in a herd of cows. When placed in such straits, our advice is, "dont give up the ship." The barge is as reliable a vessel as you could lake business pass- age in — one not liable to extreme market fluctuations. The character of your management of couise will accordingly gov- ern the character of your espoused vocation. Thus butter and cbeese are not generally reduced in price simultaneously, but when one goes up the other is down. This is^not always the case, though 'tis often so. A shrewd dairyman who is his own manufacturer— and there are many of them — should be amply prepared to take advantage of such possible contingencies by a change of base. Now, if you are making cheese, and butter happens to go up, with a possibility of staying there, don't go to skimming your milk and keep both products along, for by so doing you deal a staggering blow to good cheese making. 5ou yourself may not feel tha immediate effects of the cheat, for be skimmed cheese is sold it is nothing but a fraud and a cheat to tbe consumer, but by adding your mite to cheese deterioration you lend assistance to a general debasement. Make fall stack cheese and full stock butter; or make none at all. Inferior dairy goods must go. The time is approaching when they will not be tolerated, and it is far betttr for producers and manufacturers to act as volunteers in the matter than to be forced into line by the unflinching tide of improvement. Brethren, what think you?— George E. Newhall in Prairie Farmer. Milking. Milking is a tedious job, and few mortals are to be found who like the occupation. Good wages is the only incentive to keep the man at such work. "What a benefaction to the human race it would be to invent a good practical milking machine, How immortal the man would become who puts such a machine on the market. In the absence of such an invention let us all do what we can to ameliorate the suffer- ing of mankind. With a view to this end we publish the following from the American Cultivator: "It is most essential to the profit of the dairy that the milker's attention and muscular energy be focused on the labor under his hands. If he sitsin a cramped position with knees gripping a heavy pailful of milk, the stripping of the teats becomes of secondary importance to his physical com- fort. If on the other hand, he employs a stool with a low projection to support the pail, or better yet, has a pail with stout f ars on the rim to lap on to his knees, the milking can be performed with ease and facility, and full justice can thus be done to the task. In summer time we all know that a cow full of milk is tbe hottest thing in all creation and draws more flies than a fish market. The hot weather makes her restive and the milker nervous. The flies irritate both parties to the con- tract, and the result often is that there is a collision ruinous to all concerned. Let those of us who work in more pleas- ant places be charitable in our criticism and blot out the re- cord of "cuse words" that come from the milker and kicks of the long suffering cow. There are greater sins in this world than those shown by the beasts and mortals who lose* their tempers under trying circumstances. — American Dairy- man. Atavism. Wm. Houseman, in London Live Stock Journal says: A first-class cow, between Shorthorn and Scotch West Highland parents, bred a heifer to a Shorthorn bull. The heifer, three- fourths Shorthorn and one-fourth West Highland, (having two Shortborn crosses upon the West Highland) bred a heifer to a Shorthorn bull; and iu course of time that third-cross heifer, seven-eighths Shorthorn and one-eighth West High- land, became a remarkably fine cow, wholly of the Short- horn type. She was mated with a pnre Polled-Angus bull; the result was, or rather is— for it is living within ten min- utes' walk from the house in which I write — a heifer of the "West Highland type, with large Highland horns.

The California League GAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON. OAKLAND vs. SACBAMENTO. Friday, Aug. 22i>, 1890, at Oakland The newly fledged Colonel Sammy Shaw, late of Terre Haute, did not score a startling success in his initial game at the Emery grounds last Friday. In fact Mr. Sbaw's debut on a California diamond may be set down as a "frost." The diminutive twirler shot all styles of curve and drop balls at the batsmen, but as their course deviated considerably from the square foot of rubber commonly termed the home plate, the result was that Umpire Donohue informed seven of the Senators that they were entitled to their base on balls. Mr. Shaw quite frequently did direct the ball so that if permitted it would have crossed the plate at the prescribed height, but the athletic Senators took exception to that feat being ac- complished and banged the sphere back into the lot safely and sharply fourteen times. The terrific cannonading their newly acquired colleague was subjected to, quite unnerved the remainder of the team, and after the third inning they gave the spectators a well executed exhibition of the art of j uggling baseball, interspersed with many featB of reckless and long distance throwing. These innovations of what the Colonels were heretofore deemed incapable of ecactiDg most ably assisted the Senatorial aggregation in their overwhelm- ing victory and gave the Capital city a tighter cinch on the championship rag. Beside the vigorous hitting of the Sena- tors, the side play of the Colonels already mentioned and which did not find universal favor with the Oakland cranks, the splendid work of the outfielders were the prominent features.

Lookabaugh and Kilroy both pitched effectively and steadily, keeping the hiU well distributed, aod each sending but one man to bis base on balls. The support from their respective catchers was also good. In the sixth inning with two out and men on first aod second, Ebright hit to Wilson, who was playing short. Wilson ran with the ball to second, arriving ahead of the runner, and the umpire called all safe which filled the bases and hitB by Everett and Hill followiog scored three runs. The infield of both teams played great bull, making a num. ber of sharp and difficult plays, Everett, Shea and Fogarty especially distinguishing themselves.

Twenty two safe hits and thirteen bases on balls were gen- erously allowed the Culonels in this game by the demoralized Senators, and as a grand result for eight inniBgs' work, the Oaklands piled up twenty-four runs. The Senators never played such a zigzag game before, and it is to be earnestly hoped that on all future occasions they will refrain from a repetition of a similar exhibition. An immense crowd were in attendance, and to say that they were heartily disgusted is putting it very mildly. Harper pitched, or rather made a tremendous bluff at it, for the first five innings, but was un- mercifully slaughtered, the Oaklands gettiDg fourteen hits off him. Then Reitz took a hand, but instead of helping matters, made them decidedly worse, allowing eight hitB in two innings and giving five bases on balls- As a last resort, Goodenough was pressed into service, and although no hits were made off him, three men tallied just the same. The burlesque was happily terminated by umpire Donohue in the eighth inning, who called "game" in order to permit the Sacramentos to catch the Stockton train. The game was totally devoid of any interesting features, excepting the double pl*y of Cantillian and McDonald. The score. SAN FRANCISCO vs. OAKLAND. Sunday, Aug. 24th, 1890, at San Francisco. An immense crowd assembled to see this game and gave both teams a royal welcome. Coughlin and Shaw were the opposing twirlers aDd the diminutive "Hautentot" Shaw had decidedly the best of the pitching honors. If the third in- ning could have been eliminated from the score Frisco would have won for this inning was Conghlin's Waterloo. Five hits— singles by Shaw, Dooley, C. O'Neill, a double by Cantillion aod Lobman's triple— together with errors of Coughlin and Ebright gave the Colonels five runs and an immense lead which they augmented in the sixth and seventh making a total of eight runs. The Friscos earned one run in the sixth on Ebright's double and singles by Stevens aod Everett. They made a rather fast finish in the ninth scoring three men on two bases on balls and doubles by Levy and Veach, but Ebright and Everett wafted and Lookabaugh was assisted out by McDonald leaving two men on bases and end- ing the game. Hill was badly hurt by being hit with a bounding ball in the sixth inning which necessitated his retirement from the game and Everett was almost knocked senseless by being hit by a pitched ball in the head. Features of the game was the elegant fielding of Levy, HiU aod Stevens, Lohman's beautiful catch of a fool fly close to the presB box and McDonald and Dooley's clever work on their respective bases.

This game, through the skillful manipulation of Colonel ThoniaB P. Kobinson, ably assisted by his Lieutenants — Sweeney, C. O Neill, Cantillian, Carsey and Lohman — went for naught, the result for eight innings being five to five, and the umpire called it at 12:20 as per a previous arrange- ment made by both captain's in order to make railway con- nections so that their teams might appear in the afternoon game at the Haight St. grounds at the advertised time. For the eight innings played the game was interesting and pretty. Both pitchers— Lookabaugh Bnd Carsey — did excellent work, and the fielding, with the exception of Everett at short, was generally clever. Dooley. Sweeney, Stevens, Speer and Veach did some timely hitting, while the base playing of Me Donald, Shea and Ebright, and the fielding of Levy, Stevens and C. O'Neill were distinguishing features. The score: STOCKTON vs. SACRAMENTO. Sunday, Aug. 24th, 1S90, at Stockton, Garanza Young demonstrated the fact that he is yet % great pitcher, for in this game for Stockton he allowed bat one hit for seven innings and three for the nine. He rather wild in the fore-part of the game, which accounts for one of the Senators runs, but soon steadied down and pitched out a masterly game. His new colleagues supported him ad* mirably. Senator Hoffman was touched upfreely for twelve hits, among which were three long shots, and with the ad- dition of his teams errors, is the easy victory of the Gaa City boys aceonnted for The Sacramentos earned two runs in the eight on Boberts safety, Baitzs triple and MoHales single. Fudger, Fogarty, Cabill, Selna and Wilson were pecially strong at the bat, while the intielding of Wilson, Fogarty, Daly and Beitz, and the back stop work of Arm* strong and McHale was of very high order.

The Stocktons bad on their batting clothes last Sunday surely, for after hittinR Hoffman for twelve sure shots in the morning they baited Harper for fifteen on the Sacramento grounds in the afternoon before the smallest Sunday audi- ence of the season. They had King Perrott in the bos who pitched iu tine form, and tney supported him In true pen- nant winning style. It was not the Senators heavy hitting day for in the two games they made but seven bits — three off Young and four off Perrott. Their Kelding was not up to their usual high standard either. The Stocktons took ft lead early in the eauie which could not be overoome, al- though the Senators struggled manfully to even up matters without avail. Selua's one haud stop of a terrific grounder was the most conspicuous feature of the game, although Fogarty, Behz, Daly and Stapletou also made some excellent plays. The Sacramento outfield %ae not offered a chance. 1890 'ghz Hmte mtl j^-ptrrtstmm. 173 Selna. Fndger, Stockwell, Holliday and Wilson each secured two hits and Fogarty three.

Thursday, August 28th, at San Feascisco. This game np to the seventh inning was a decidedly pretty one, the Friscos having secured three runs in the first in- ning and one in the third, while the Gas City boys got three men over the plate in the sixth. Up to this time Young had been pitching a fairly good gime, while Conghlin was doing excellent work. The seventh waB perhaps the liveliest in- ning ever played on the home grounds, singles, doubles, bases on balls and errors being distributed "regardless of oost." The Friscos s'arted in by banging their old comrade round the lot at a rapid rate, and before the third hand was retired fourteen men were at bat and nine of whom scored. Then the Stocktons went in, and although not equaling the ef- forts oftheirpredecessors made things exceedingly interesting, having eleven men at bat during the inning and chasing sis of them home. This was a wholesale slaughter, but the Friscos were not at all tired (although Mr. Young was) for in the eighth they tallied two and in the ninth four runs, a grand total of nineteen, of which but six were earned. In the eighth the Stocktons failed to score, and in the ninth I added one, making an aggregate of ten for the game. The ! hitting was positively tremendous, Ebright, Hanley, Veach, Everett and Stockwell doing mighty work. The fieldiDg was ' miserable on both sides, and the only redeeming feature in this department was a double from Stevens to Speer and a ■ magnificent triple play in the first inniug in which Conghlin, Veach and Ebright participated. The score; Professional Pick-Ups. Hanley'a arm is mending. The 'Frisco stock is adTancing. Ebright did great stick work Thursday. Everett's home rnn in Thursday's game was a beaaty. Armstrong and S'ockwell are now Stockton's catchers. Hnghey Smith, who but recently returned from the East, states that the California boys — Powers, Swett, Long and Smalley — are playing "oat of sight." He says baseball has Buffered immeasurably from the conflict of the two leagues, but that the Player's games are much better patronized than those of the National League. Fred Jevne has been appointed an umpire in the Western Association. Dungan, in the past few games, has not been hitting as heavily as heretofore. Monk Cline is now playing right field for the Lincolns, of the Western Association- Matt Stanley, Poky Chase and old Jack Cullen are now playing with the Fresnos. Danny Sweeney, the midget, has become quite a favorite by his speedy base running. The irrepressible Manager and Captain Mike Kelly, iB now referred to as "Cottage" Kelly. Pete Sweeney and Monk Cline were recently released from the St. Pauls to reduce expenses. The Directors of the Boston National League Club have considered their determination to release Hardie, and he will not leave the service of the club. Ganzel and Bennett are by no means in first-olass condition. Both men are nursing injuries, and were unable to play to-day. To release Hardie would leave the team without a sound back stop. Hardie is all right physically, and showed yesterday that he is capable of doing good work. It is claimed for him that he has not had an opportunity to show what he is really capable of do- ing.— New York Sun. The base ball writers in the West are having a controversy over the pitching records, several claiming that Elmer Smith's feat the other day of retiring the Milwaukees with- out a hit, and only facing twenty-eight men, being the test. Clark, of the Omahas, it is claimed by others, only faced twenty-sis men in a full nine inning game last season. Both sides, however, are wrong. Weyhing last year, while with the Athletics, in one game only had twenty-five men up against him, the other two reaching first on balls and being doubled up at second. This is the record. — Philadelphia Ledger. Since Harris is no longer manager, Dave Levy will prob- ably be released from the Portlands.

The Sacramentos won thirteen gimes straight from the Stocktons from July 4th to August 24th. Old man Perrier now has charge of the billiard rooms con- nected with Tregallis' "White Wings Cafe. At the close of the season Manager Stapleton intends tak- ing his team on an extended tour of the State. Bowman's injary to his hand last Saturday presented his taking part in the two Stockton-Sacramento games. The Sporting Life credits our big Bill Brown with being one of the wittiest men in the base ball professional. The Oaklands have three of the four heaviest hitting pitchers in the League. They are Cobb, Carsey and Shaw. On the evening of the 21st Professor "Jim" Corbett, the "coming "champion of the world" delightfully entertained a few of his base ball friends at his elegant and spacious apart- ments at the Florence House. The evening was an exceeding- ly enjoyable one, the jovial professor, who p ossesses an abun- dant overflow of wit and good nat are, beinga moBt beneficent host, and assisted by bis charming and accomplished young wife made the little occasion one to be long remembered. Mr. Edward Stapleton, the genial manager of the Sacramen- tos, rendered some very pretty vocal selections in excellent voice while otherB of the company also contribmtad many pleasing instrumental numbers. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. James J. Corbett, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. L. Curtin, Mr. James McDonald, Mr. Edward Stapleton, Mr. William Stickney and Mr. Edw. Moran. It was to be regretted that inexorable "club restrictions" caused the guest3 to depart at an early hour.

An umpire narrowly escaped being mobbed at Birmingham the other day. Twenty-five men at bat in one game is about the record for the season. It happened in last Thursday's game in the seventh inning. Tom Buckley is too clever a player to be in the amateur ranks. There should certainly be a place for him in one of the professional teams. The Portlands celebrated the reinstatement of pitcher Tom Perrott and the resignation of Manager Harris by shutting out the Seatths 11 to 0. The Globe-Democrat says: "Billy Wittrock, recently released by the St. Louis BrownB, and who joined the Portland, (Oregon.) Club, of the Northern Pacific League, is not feeling very well satisfied. In a recent letter to a St. Louis friend he states that he arrived in Portland one morning afteT almost a weeks' eonstant riding, night and day, on a second-class ticket sent him by the Portland Club, which prevented him from securing a berth in the sleeper. When he arrived in Portland he was stiff and sore, but the manager compelled him to pitch the game that afternoon. The result was that he was batted for seventeen safe hits, and the Portlands, of course, lost the game. He says, naturally the people did not have a very high opinion of him as a pitcher, but that he will soon ehow them the difference between a good rest and Bleeping five or six days and nights on car seats." The Friscos greatly missed Hanley's batting in the last few games. "Blockers" is the moet dangerous man in the team when runners are on bases. Hen Moore is hitting, fielding and running bases in his old time Pioneer form for the Salt Lakes. He writes that he will return to Frisco in about a month. A new point in baseball was introduced, but not satisfac- torily decided, on the Olean grounds a few days ago by a small dog. While « member of the Bradford nine was chas- ing a ball batted by an Olean man into the left field, the dog in question ran for it and caught it, and closing his jaws, refused to give it up. The fielder than caught the dog. and being unable to get the ball, the owner came np and helped, and finally the jaws were opened and the ball recovered. Meanwhile the Olean man had scored. The Bradford captain appealed against the run being counted, on the ground that it was technically a blocked ball in which case the runner would have to be set back; bnt the umpire, with still more rigid views on technicality decided that, inasmuch as the ball had not been handled by a "person," and there was no provision regarding dogs, the run went to Olean and with it the game. — Exchange. Pitcher France, whom the Sacramento management was negotiating for, immediately after the disbandment of the Burlington team, signed with Seattle. Despite the fact that the SacramentoB have recently met with serious reverses they still retain an immense lead. The Friscos and Oaklands are tied for second plaoe, each having won and lost an equal number of games. The Stock- tons persistently cliDg to last place, although they are expected to advance from now on. the kecord:— (to Aug 28th, inclusive). Jerry Denny's let-down in batting has been simply awful. Hitherto, although not a slugger, his Btick work has been fair; this season it has been infantile. — Ex.

Had Ebright kept np with the procession in last Sunday's game in the ninth inning, and followed Levy and Veach— who each seemed doobles— by hitting the ball, instead of let- ting two excellent strikes be called on him and then fanning ont, the result of the game might have been vastly different. The Fresno team is now a strong organization. having been reinforced by the accession of Matt Stanley and Pokey Chase. They are open to dates after the California Leagne season closes and wonld be pleased to arrange games with any of the big leagne teams. Address.Ed. Austin, Manager, Fresno, Cal. The accident which befell centerfield Hill in last Sunday's game reflects very discreditably on the management of the Haight St. grounds. It is doubtful if there is a poorer kept or more dangerous ground than this in the country. The infield is as hard as flint and being full of fragments of rocks and pebbles, which causes the ball to take ngly and unex- pected bounds, actually places ! the lives of the players in jeopardy. The outfield is still worse than the diamond, if such a thing were possible, for in addition to its being lumpy and rocky, it is undermined with numerous squirrel holes, so that a fielder is not only in peril of receiving a ball in the face instead of the hands as was Hill's case last Sunday, bnt he is in constant danger of breaking a limb by stepping in one of these holes. The matter of the condition of the grounds has been brought to the attention of the managers so ire quently that it is positively irk?ome to further comment on it. But by all means gentlemen, once for all, exterminate the rodents, fill the holeB, sow a healthy grass plot and put in a turf, clover or grass diamond. Then yon'll require ad- ditional gate keepers and ticket sellers and your dividends will be increased fully twenty-five per cent. The Stocktons' chances are now very "rosy" for doing a lot of winning, and if they can't get the pennant themselves, they are surely destined to be "champion killers". With the accession of Len Stockwell to take the team in charge, and Otto Young to aid them in the pitching department, they are as strong as any team in the league. Perrott, Kil- rov and Young are all strong, effective and steady box-men, and Stockwell made a great reputation aa an efficient and brainy catcher with the same team in '83. Armstrong is also a reliable man behind the bat, and a heavy sticker ai well. When not catching he will play at third* Wilson at short, and Fndger in the out-field. The in-tielders, Selna, Fogarty, Wilson, Armstrong and Fudger, are all capable players in their positions, while the out-field is equally aa clever as the best of them. Taking the team as a whole, they are heavy hitters, good fielders, smart base runners, and have only lacked the great essential element that wins games and that is— team work. With a man of Stockwell'^ recognized ability and energy to handle them, the chance? are that they will soon show the beneficial effects of bis coaching and mentorship. 174 ^fts QxM&zv awd j^pjarismati Aug. 30 The Amateurs. The Reports still hold on to tirst place with grim deter- mination. The decisions rendered by President Mone at the meeting of the California Amateur League hist Saturday evenine gave the Santa Rosas a big boost and consequently the Reports and Will Lfc Fincks suffered considerably. The Will & Finck— Santa Rosa game of July 4th was decided a regular championship game and was given to the Santa Rosss and is credited in this issue to that team. The pro- tested Report— Santa Rosa game of July 7th and which was heretofore credited to the Reports was declared off and will have to be competed for again. The E. T. Alien— Santa Robs protested game of Aug. 17th was not allowed. By winning last Sunday's game the Reports still maintain their first position with the Sinta Rnsas 'a close second. The Vallejos have passed the Will & Fincks and are now the firm third. The Fmck's chances are yet excellent, however, as a few victories can place them close to the top. The Bur- lingtons and Aliens remain almost stationary. The follow- ing table has been carefnlly revised and is now absolutely correct.

The Marines took their fonrth game from the Sonoma boys la6t Sunday by the tantaliziDgly close score of six to five. It was a "blooded" game, as the most intense rivalry exists between these teams, and before the game each club received liberal backing from their constituents. Had the Santa Rosas woo, they would have been boosted into first place, but the Vallejo's victory kfpt their opponents in second position and placed themselves a very snug third in the championship race. Each team presented its strongest array of players, the pitohers being in exceedingly tine fettle, and the fielders, generally speaking, putting np an excellent game. The Marines bunched their four hits, gained by Maguire, Hughes and Farrell in the third and fonrth innings, and these, with the Santa RoBa's errors, gave them the six runs they secured in the game. Grace's men secured but three singles off Baltz in the game which came at long intervals, the first base and battery errors of the Marines being responsible for their runs. In the fielding Maguire, Gimmel, McCarthy, Stultz and Hughes distinguished themselves by making phenomenal catches, and Stanford made a great stop and put out. Ze- mansky's umpiring, though not satisfactory to the Santa Rosas, was strictly in accordance with the rules. As is their usual custom, the Santa Rosas protested the game. The score: DAILY REPORTS vs. E. T. ALLENS. Sunday, Aog. 24th, 1890, at Sax Francisco. The Newsies and Sports, who occupy the tirst and last positions, respectively in the League race, came together last Sunday morning and gave the few hundred assembled crankB, who think the amateur games are often superior to those in the afternoon, a genuine treat. It was a great contest, and although the Reports took a big lead of ten runs in the first two innings, the Sports proved themselves to the "dead game," and pluckily started in chasing a goodly number of their men across the rubber later on, to the intense delight of the spectators. Philpot, the "Native Son," who had al- ready won one game from the Reports, was in the box for the SportB, but Ashman's men in this game displayed an as- toniBhiog familiarity with his delivery, dallying with it to the extent of seven hits — three of which were "ont of sight" till two or three cushions were covered — in the first two innings, and besides giving thanks for five bases on balls gratuituously bestowed, which altogether netted the neat sum of ten rune. At this stage of the game Manager Keller and Canta n Evatt held a conference, resulting in the banishment of Mr. Philpot to a position where his duties would be more in accordance with his abilities, and Young Jack Lobman, who enjoys the distinction of being a brother of Oaklands prize back stop, was given a chance to distinguish himself. To make room for Philpot, Billy Kennedy vacated his place at second and went to centertield, where he made a number of excellent rJy catohes. Young Lohman proved himself quite a pitcher, showing some good curves and being remarkably steady. The ReportB failed to do much with his delivery till the sixth inning, when Green and Thompson each drove out a safety and scampered home on Dunphy's long triple. This ended their tuu getting, they having an even dozen to their credit. The Sports then modestly placed one on their string m the fourth on Kennedy's single, a wild pitch and Mulvey's "safe shot." Then in the fifth they became somewhat bolder, for with two men retired the Reports displaced a tendency to- ward decorating their error column. Philpot reached first on an error, and Green's "Eiffel Tower" throw permitted his jogging in the same direction uninterrupted, and then Broder- ick waited for his base and got it. Evatt smashed out a "daisy cutter, "and Buckley's hit of the same quality sent Broderick home.' Kennedy located another of William's curves and sent it out beyond the fielders for a double, on which tallied Evatt and Buckley; Kennedy himself scoring on Hearty's error. This was six runs already, and three in the seventh with another added in the eighth, due to some hard and scientific hitting and daring base running, gave them ten runs which, though not winning the game, evened up mat- ters very satisfactorily for the audience. The greatest work of the day was done by John Thompson, who was five timeB at bat and secured four hits— two siogles.a double and triple. His short stop work was also, clever, all his chances being neatly accepted. Joe Dunphy also did some lerrific stick •work, smashing the ball every time up and twice safely for a double and triple. Oue of Mb catchers was almoBt as mar- vellous as the one made by Mulvey in right— that player run- ning toward the scoreboard andpullingdown with one hand a bit of Dunphy's which looked good for auoth«r three bagger. Besides Thompson aDd Daiiphy, Buckley, Evatt, Kennedy and Mulvey did strong work with their wagon-tongues. The catching of Leland, the wonderful catches of Mulvey and Dunphy before mentioned, the outfielding of Geishaker and Kennedy, with the infield work of Thompson, Creamer. Buck- ley, BrodericK and Philpot were prominent and enjoyable features of the game. The score: E. T. ALLENS. AD B Jill HB FO McGuire, s B. Farrell, c . .

John Thompson's playing last Sunday was as clever as any ever seen on a local diamond. Four safe hits out of five times at bat — two being singles, one a double and another a triple — a total of seven bases is tremendoos batting, and this in conjunction with accepting six chances at short field with- out an error, is a grand record for one day's work. At the meeting of the California Amateur League held at the Burlington Route office last Saturday evening, the fol- lowing were the team representatives present: Reports, Manager Ashman and Player Thompson; Santa Rosa, Mana- ger Grace; Vnllejo, Player G^hmann; Will & Fincks, Mr. Fredeiicks; E. T. Aliens. Manager Keller; Burlingtons Managers Gage and Sheridan. FRESNO vs. BAKERSFIELD. Sunday, August 24th, 1S90, At Fresno. At Belmont Park last Sunday, the Fresnos almost annihi. i_ated the BakersSeld team. They experienced no difficulty in hitting Hysinger and Eoglish, and their free hitting, coupled with the numerous errors of the Bakersfield infield, gave the home team au easy victory. The Fresnos presented their strongest team of the season, being strengthened by the accePBion of Chase, late of the Friscos, and Stanley of the Aliens and Stocktons. Chase pitched great ball, allowing but three hits and disposing of thirteen men ou strike?. His support at the receiving end from the veteren Jack Cullen was excellent. Stanley also played an admirable first base. Peir, Waggoner, Stanley, Tburman and Cullen batted h*av- ly. while the entire team put up a strong fielding game. The iscore: Bakeusfield. c f..

Amateur Short Hits. It his beeij said, and on most reliable authority, that were Managers Finn and Robinson to have their own way, the California Amateur League would be abolished. When the amateur managers received this chilly and startling infor- mation of the feeling of disapproval expressed by the "big guns" of the league, they felt not a little chagrined that their earnest endeavors had Dot earned for them more gen- erous consideration. It cannot be denied that the amateurs have played some remarkably tine games, and many patrons of the Haight street grounds say they would as sood see the morning game as the one in the afternoon, for often is the amateur game far superior to the professional one following it. Certainly no such scoreB as 36 to 1, 20 to 5 and 24 to 4 have marred their reoord for this or any other season. Jnst why the magnates would wish to "kill the goose that laid the golden eggs" for them, has not been made sufficiently clear for our untutored mind to comprehend. One reason that has been advanced, but which is so utterly feeble that it is scarcely worth any consideration, is, that the amateurs have many petty troubles, and as a consequence, are a source of annoyance to the officials. But the bg leaeue officers make a serious mistake in participating in these little squab- bles. The amateurs have an intellectual president and board of directors, and are therefore eminently capable of arbitrating their own affairs. If their disputed questions from which no organization is ever exempt, constitutes them a nuisance, we will say right here that they have been indi- vidually and collectively a most proStable nuisance to the very parties who would wish to destroy their existence. To abolish the California Amateur League would be to destroy the neoleus— the founuation of the major organiza- tion. Was not the Greenhood & Moran team an amateur one, and did it not make a most remarkable and creditable showing against the pmfessional teams in the California League in the season of 'S6 ? We would respectfully ask the league magnates, whose past five years' lucky connection with base ball has placed them in affluence, where did they find such players as George Van Hallran. Fred Lange Nick Smith. Tom Powers, Danny Lone, Pop Swetf Joe Por- oell, Phil Knell, Ed Lorrigan, Jack Wilson, Fred Roberts Bill Smalley, Harry O'Day, Pete Lohman, Frank Loughran' Bob McHale and Billy Cooney— many of whom are now the stars of the profession— but in the amateur ranks, and these are the players who brought "grist to the mill" of the Cali- fornia League. We would further ask. how often when the professional teams were crippled and short of players, who did they have to call upjn to fill the gaping vacancies bnt the amateurs, and who, it must be said, rendered yeoman service. Among the latter might be mentioned Billy Farrell Dave Creamer. John Thompson, Pete McGlade, Matt Stan- ley, Josh Reilly, Charlie Tillson, Vick Monet, Pokey Chase. Dave Levy, George Stulz, Flank Delmas, George Sharp and many others. Where is the team in the California League to-day that would have the presumption to compete with a nine made up as follows, every oue of which has graduated from the amateur ranks wilhin the past half decade: Knell, Purcell and Van Haltran, pitchers; Swett and Lohman, catchers; Powers first base; O'Day second haBe; Smalley third base; Nick Smith short s'ot); and Roberta, LoDg, Mc- Hale, Wilson, Dungan, Van Haltran and Pnrcell to draw from for an out Beld. Verily, the popular phrase "not in it" would never be more comprehensively exemplified than should one of the California Leigue's boasted professional teams run against this formidable array of recently graduated amateur talent. With the indisputable fact in view that the California League is very largely indebted to the amateurs for the remarkable and unprecedented success it has attained, the statement accredited Messrs. Finn and Robinson is ill- timed, unjust and unwarranted. Insteal of seeking to crush the life of the rising young blood, their hopes and aspira- tions, these managers should cheeifu'ly render the amateur league, which certainly reflects mucheredit on the older or- ganization, every encouragement it bo warmly merits. Kybly Bl.ec. SCHEDULE OF GAMES —OF THE— CALIFOKNIA Jack Lohman is quite a pitcher. The Reports are now undisputably first. The Amateurs have been putting up the great ball lately When the SaDta Kosas lose they almost invariably protest the game. Strand and Billings have both asked for their releases from the Will & Fincks. Al Redmon, the catcher of the old Cleveland team of Oak- land, is now playing with the BakerBfields. We picked the Vallejos as the "dark horse in the race' and tbiok we come pretty near "calling the turn. It is rumored that the Stari of Oakland composed of such players as Kelly, Rohan, Wilds, Mulvey, Crowley, Batchel- dor and Ryan, will take the place of the Burlingtons in the Amateur League. ThiB, however, has not been authenticated at the League headquarters. Base Ball League, SEASON 1890. August 30th to Sept 6th Inclusive. AT SAN IKAMIMi.

EDITED BY ABPHIPPUS, SUMMARY, The McLeod-Lewis wrestling matcli ended in a victory for the latter. The entries for the Saoramento Athletio meeting will close with Walter Scott at the Olympic Club rooms this evening. The oarsmen and wheelmen are still practising, and the cricketers are getting into great shape for their com- ing matches. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The athletes should not forget that the entries for the Sac- ramento meeting will close at 8 o'clock to-night with Walter A. Scott, at the club rooms of the Olympic Club, on O'Farrell street. The entry list shonld be unusually large as nearly all the leading amateur athletes are in training. The track at Sacramento will hardly be in condition for record break- ing, but still fast time in nearly all the events will be made. Frank L. Cooley has resigned his position as Insurance Clerk, and is getting ready to go on the stage. He will com- pete in the two mile run on September 17th. John D. Garrison is not feeling in the best of condition, but he keeps up easy practice. He will positively run in the ''quarter." A. Cooke will go in the walk and two mile ran. He is anxious to have another go from scratch in a three mile walk with Horace Coffin. Fur a week previous to the champion- ship games he was sick, and to this faot he attributed his defeat by Coffin in the thTee mile walk. It is probable that the U C will not be represented on Sep- tember 17th. None of its men are in training, and the Olympians will have the half mile run all to themselves. Jarvis has not been exercising for some time, and may not go in the mile walk. The boys are holding back their names, and it is hard to tell who will enter. The meeting, however, will be a success- ful one, and will equal in every way the late championship meeting. There was a lively crowd of athletes at the Olympic grounds on Sunday. Several impromptu races were decided, and those who took part were seemingly in the pink of con- ditio n . The Alpine Club boys are thinking of engaging the pro- fessional runner, C. A. Eldridge, as a trainer. Mr. Eld ridge was at Central Park on Tuesday evening last and gave the 6printers some good tips about running. George W. Jordan is sadly missed by the young Olympian novices, in whose interest he never ceased to work while he was Field Captain. The celebrated wrestling match between the Olympio Club champion D, S. McLeod and the world renowned Evan Lewis, (the strangler) was decided at the Orpheum Theatre on Tuesday evening last. The houpe was crowded, and the audience went away fully satisfied with the evening's sport. Hiram Cook was chosen as referee. Prof. Jim Corbett aotedastime keeper for the Olympian, while W. R. Vice acted in the same capacity for Lewis. The agreement read that Lewis was to throw McLeod three times in one hour. The exhibition waB a good one, and some pretty work was done by both men. Lewis, who scaled 195 lbs. in his wrestling costume was exactly thirty pounds heavier than his opponent, It took him twenty-five minutes to win the first fall. The second fall, however was won in less time, Lewie downing his man in three minutes. When the con- testants went to work the third time, the excitement was intense. The majority of the audience were foolish enough to think that McLeod could Rtand off Lewis, but their ideas were soon changed, for the Olympian was downed for the third and last time in eleven minutes, making the total time consumed forty-nine minutes, which gave Lewis eleven min- utes to spare. He was awarded the match and the stakes. In our issue of last Saturday we predicted that Lewis would win the match in less than forty minutes, which on the whole wss not a very bad guess, considering that many of the sporting editors thought that McLeod would have an easy t«sk in keeping his shoulders off the mat for sixty min- utes. Having witnessed the match, we tnink that Lewis, had he so desired, could have won his money in half the time. McLeod deserves praise for his good showing, and outside of Lewis, he iB certainly the btst wrestler on the Pacific Coast to-day. The Directors of the California Club are trying to get up a match between V. P. White and either McLeod or Tom Mclnerney. White is certainly a strongly built man, but with either of the two men mentioned, he would not "be in it". Young Foster has been doing some good work at the hur- dles lately and the hurdle race at Sacramento should fall to him providing he ib not too heavily handicapped. Charley Jellinek should win ttie 100-yard run with three yards. He practices hard every day on Leidesdorfl* Street, between Pine and California streets and is the envy of the pool ronm ruDners, many of whom claim to be able to do better tnan "'even time." J. M. Whelan, the well known amateur athlete, hae gone to Seattle to live. In his day he was a fine boxer, runner, wrestler and jumper. He was a member of the Golden Gate, Alpine, California and Olympic Clubs. Espinosa is rather reluctant about entering the two-mile run on Sept. 17th. He has not fully recovered from the effects of the last cross country run yet. . Dan Cohen, of the Alameda Olympic Club has been doing some good work on the shell mad in front of his home. He thinks with rive yards start he would win ono of the medtls in the "hundred." Young A. C. Snow will make a good showing in the long race should he make up his mind to enter. He and Vollmer, of the Alpine Club, would make a very interesting race. The cross country run of the Alpine and Alameda Clubs that was to have taken plaee to-morrow has been postponed until after the meet at Sacramento. The P. C. A. A. A. should appoint an official handieapper instead of leaving the handicappiug in tne hands of a com- mittee. Walter A, Scott has always been a close observer cf all performances done in the city and he would make a very reliable handieapper. The boxing act between Ben Bogner and Prof. Yan Court n the coming in-door exhibition ■ f the Olympio Club will be worth seeirjg. These two gentlemen will, in a mild manner, 3how the ladies how ''knock out" matches are conducted at the fighting clubs. Ed. Steinway, the Financial Secretary of the Alpine Club, will shortly purchase a bicycle. He intends photographing all the surrounding country so that the boyB may be able to select a good course for their crosscountry runs. Cook and Gafney, of the Alpine Club, will take a walk out to San Leandro from Alameda to-morrow to see Harry Cas- sidy at Souther Farm. All three will jog a couple of miles on the Farm race track. A young colored athlete recently arrived in town is Baid to have a record of 6:55 for a mile walk. He is a Btrict ama- teur and will try to gain admission into one of the clubs. DEATH OF H. M. JOHNSON. H. M. Johnson the champion sprinter of the world died on Sunday last at 109 Fifth Street, where he was rooming. During his year's Btay on the Pacific Coast, he was sick most of the time, and at the time of his death was thinking of moving back to St. Louis, where he wad born. He was a writer of no mean ability and up to the time of his death edited the athletio department of a local weekly publication. There is no need to comment on his running as his records are too well known. Poor Johnson was far above the level of the average professional runner and he never stooped to do a dirty trick. He was a whole souled fellow and tboge with whom he associated while in San Francisco deeply regret his loss. He was 27 years old and leaves a wife and two chil- dren who are now residing at St. Louis. His body was shipped to his native home on Tuesday afternoon at the ex- pense of several of the Olympic Club athletes. THE WHEELMEN. The great road race. Who will win first place 1 There will be ten prizes, all of which will be valuable and useful. It has been decided that all wheelmen who intend entering must "pony" up a dollar. Poage and Turner say they will enter. They have been practicing hard for the past six weeks and will make a big showing. The San Jose people are not afraid of theSmythe Brothers. The Garden City sport lovers will back them with their last cent. Only three entries from the premier club but they are good ones — Lincoln Hoagkins, Allan Marshall and George P. Wet- more. John Brown, unattached, who rode at Napa on last Thanks- giving Day has been showing some good speed of late and he will have a still better chance to prove his endurance on the triarjgle, Sept. 8. The combined run of the Bay City Wheelmen, Alameda Bicycle Club and Oakland .Bicycle Club took plbce last Sunday. The two former clubs were the guests of the latter. Tbe boys turned out in great shape over forty wheels being in the procession. The run was to San Leandro and thence to Lake Chabot. Several of the "hurricane" boys rode over the triangle course and the three connoisseurs, Ives of the Alameda Club, Hodgkins of the B C W and Morgan unat- tached, pronounced tbe road in excellent condition. They say that everything will be favorable for record breaking. They had lunch at Lake Chabot and returned home in good spirits having spent a very enjoyable day. Several of the softer sex have taken to the wheel in Alame- da. It is said that one young lady over there can beat any of the boys in a mile. The Alameda riders are doing good work and should bring credit on their club. Messrs. W. S. Doane and Weaver failed to materialize on Sunday and tbe run which the Captain of the B. C. W. had called in their honor was declared off. The Bay City Wheelmen will shortly be able to commence work on their new club house. The building will be a handsome one when completed. H. A. Matthews states that he is done with long distance riding. A couple of miles at the present time is sufficient to exercise his limbs. Tbe Oakland Bicycle Club now ha'D AGE.

FIRST DAY, AUG. 26, 1S90. First day of the races. The track was in fine shape and looked like a skating rink and fast time is expected. The attendance although not large was a good betting one. The judges were Messrs. Green, Hendricks and Shippee. Tim- ers. Messrs. Merrill, Hutchins and Cochran. The first race of the day was the district two year old race. The starters were Wayland W. who sold favorite at $20. Lucy B. and Mamie Griffin who sold as a field (or $10. Mamie at once took the lead, Wayland breaking badly on th9 first turn as did Lucy, and when the heal of the stretch was reached by Mamie both were a distance out. but they improved their positions coming home, Mamie Griffin win- ning the heat, Wayland W. and Lucy B. just inside the flag.

What a great trot it would make between Sister V, Beaury Mc, Silaa Skinner and "Vic H. Lucky indeed the man who could guess the winner. The Kentucky Advocate says: Sons of Electioneer are the kind that are needed in Kentucky, and are earning large sums in the stud. Harry Stackpole, the well known dining room proprietor of Lathrop, was in Chicago all of last week witnessing the flights of speed made by the California representatives at that point. Harry will not return for some time. Within a very few weeks Mr. Ayers of the San Miguel Stock Farm will ship back to LexiDgton, Kentucky, a carload of his well known trottiog stock to be disposed of at public auction at the forthcoming sale by Woodward & Co, Mr. Gilbert Tompkins, of the Souther Farm, has been rusticating at Lake Taboo for several weeks bnt has returned to see that all his entries are in readiness for hard contests, when-the time for the Breeders meeting comes around. Simmocolon has again strnck a winning streak. At Hart' ford on Tuesday last, the game yoang stallion proved fast enough to defeat the sensational performer Leopard Rose The track was exceedingly heavy, the best time made being 2:2U. I would call the attention of our readers this week to the card of Dr. H. W. Hoagland, located in Oakland, who will pursne bis profession of veterinary dentist. Tbe doctor comes highly recommended as a first class artist in his busi- ness . Mr. Jas. Kitson of Chestnns Hill. Pa. has sold to Tho=". Swan of Baltimore, the chestnut mare, Santa Barbara, three years old by Milner, dam Santa Ro^a by Wheatley. Santa Barbara has been stinted to Dry Monopole and is believed to be with foal. A prominent breeder has proposed to take Axtell's com- plete book for 1891 at $1,000 per mare. The proposition will not be accepted from the fact that the book is now over half full and to accept would necessitate the violation of contract with those already booked. Sometime aso Mr. Boss, wbo took Oro from this State, Rold him to Ed. Corrigau at Chicago, after winning for Mr. Corrigan several race5* he haB again disposed of the bay horse selling him to J. J MeCafferty, the owner of Burch. Oro is by Norfolk, dam Golden Gate by Leamington. Guy Wilkes had the honor last week of having two per- formers enter the list. At Chicago, Atlanta Wilkes, whose dam is Atlanta, full sister to Beautiful Bells, made a record of 2:29J, while at Napa, Ruper, a pacer, won the 2nd, 3rd and 4th heats in a race. Best time being 2:19£. Jim Corcoran, the well known trainer and driver, has left Lakeporl and taken charge of Mr. Crabb's breeding farm near St. Helena. There has lately been finished on the place a first class half mile track, so that Corcoran will have am- ple opportunity to develope the speed of many of Mr. Crabb's horseB. An Eastern contemporary says that the Californians who are at present on the Eastern circuits, have not very much love for each other, and do not hesitate to call attention to the weak spots in their neighbor's stable, and furthermore says that when it comes to a race, they tight each other from the word go. R Havey, who is handling the Palo Alto horses on the California circuit, took his entire striDg from Napa to Oak- land direct as the two which he bad entered at Petaluma were taken Bick, one of them ratber seriously so. I am glad to see that a decided improvement is reported in both of the ailirjg horses. Again we are under obligations to Messrs. Goodwin Btob- of 241 Broadway, New York, for No. 9 of their Official Turf Guide. It is much increased in size and is replete with useful and valuable information necessary to all who fre- quent the race track or who occasionally put in "a bit" on their favorite horse. P. M. West and Co's. well-known race mare Bonitais dead. Bonita was bred by "Lucky" Baldwin, and was by Grinstead — Maggie Emerson. Ridden by Stoval she waa a frequent winner at Washington Park. Of uncertain temperament she was very fast, and when in a winning mood was bard to beat by any but a high olass racer. The driving of Belle Hamlm and Justina to wagon in 2:16;} by Mr. J. C. Hamlin at Pougbkeepbie JaBt week, was au event without equal in breeding experience. Mr. Hamlin bred and raised the mares, also their dams and sires. He had not driven them together before in tbree years with the exception of once this summer at Buffalo. To make the feat more remarkable, Mr. Hamlin is 72 years of age. It is very rarely that a prettier sight can be seen than that which was noticeable on several days last week at the Napa meeting. The grand Btand on more occasions than one was literally filled, fully ninety per cent of the spectators being ladies. Tbe many variegated colors presented a scene of al- moBt kaleidoscopic beauty, and the ladies were just as en thnsiastic and fully as liberal with their applause as those of the sterner sex. Col. Irvin Ayres has been exceedingly unfortunate with Balkan, tbe fa«t boo of Mambrino Wilkes. Last year it was no secret that he could easily go a mile in 2:22 but as in all of his races he had to strike such exceediogly fast ones bb Hazel WilkeB and Direct, there was but liitle chance for him to lower his record. Six weeks ago he could easily show 2:20 but owing to a bruise received while in transit to San Joee, erysipelas has Bet in in tbe horse's knee and it may be sometime before he is able to make a public appearance again. The Mohawk family of trotters is ooming to the front this year in a manner that should thoroughly well please those who are interested in that blood Alfred S. with his record of 2.16} is a grandson of old Mohawk while Keno F. is by Little Moak. a son of Mohawk Jr As both of these horses have been large winners in th* Eastern circuit this year, our old friend, Geo. S. Hall, who has owned both Mohawk and Mohawk Jr., will undoubtedly be exceedingly well pleased. On Thursday afternoon the race going public of America was electrified by the news which waa telegraphed from one end of the country to the other that the mighty Salvator had run a full mile in the magnificent time of 1:35£, making a record which will undoubtedly stand for many years to come. On the Bame afternoon Baldwin's Sirjaloa II also made a re- markable performance, running a mile and a quarter with 117 lbs. up in 2:04. The record now stands to (he credit of Banquet 2:03£, but he only carried 108 lbs, making Sinaloa's feat much the better of the two. It is very remarkable how very little the Eastern sporting papers have to say about Palo Alto and Sunol now that tbey are showing up so very fast. When Jack beat Palo Alto no one waDted thoroughbred in the trotter, but since he has de- feated the same horse twice the flag of Electioneer is flying very high again. On next Thursday of Philadelphia, Sunol will be Btarted ior the purpose of trying to lower the record of Mand S., and on the same afternoon a handsome bonus has been offered if the[son of Electioneer can reduce Axtell's stallion record or 2:12." Here's hoping that both may be able to accomplish their tasks. The American SportBman says that Patsy Daffy, the once famous jockey, has gone East to redeem hlmsflf by riding for Senator Hearst in tbe Futurity Stakes at She pshead Buy in September. Duffy went to pieces in St. Louis this Sum- mer by going on a prolonged 6pree. He was ruled off tbe St. Louis track by President Green, and Mr. Haggin threatened to withdraw his horseB if the order was executed. Duffy's marvelous success proved too much for him, bnt he will now endeavor to reform. In connection with th9 above it will not be out of place to Bay that the Chicago papers say that Pat- Bey is in that city on a apree. Last Wednesday afternoon Frank A. Ehert of New York City purchased from Mr. Theo. Winters his entire stable of horses in training there, with the exception of El Rio Rev, which the veteran California turfman will keep for stud ser- vice. Mr. Ehert is a very wealthy brewer of New York City who has lately become interested in thoroughbreds, and he has also secured as his trainer Matt Allen, lately in the em- ploy of Senator Hearst. Among tbe horses Bold were Rey del Rev, Joe Courtney, San Juan, Judge Post and Noretta. The price paid for the entire stable was $85,000. Messrs. Killip & Co. advertise this week that they are authorized to offer at private sale the trotting stallion Brocken, five years old, by A. W. Richmond, dam Maid of the Mist by Norfolk; 2d dam Eva Coombs by Billy Cheatham; 3d dam Ruby by Winnebago, son of imp. Glencoe. This fine young horse is thoroughly broken, bat has never been dtiven for speed, although he can show a 40 gait even now with com- parative ease. To those of our readera who may want good, atout blood, this pedigree caonot be excelled. For farther information, apply at 22 Montgomery Street, San Francisco. The 2:24 race at Napa pruveu somewhat of a sensation in regard to the time made. On tbe nigbt before the race the betting in the pool rooms had been very heavy, for while it was generally conceded that on public form S'Bter Y. should win, still it was an open secret that Wanda was known to be very fast. The latter m-*re bad hardly work enough to en- able her to go three hard bruising heats, but in the tir&t heat of the race referred to ahe drove ont the winner in 2:18J, Wanda being timed separately in 2:19^. With a few weeks more work the daughter of Eros should prove a dangerous competitor in ber class. During the week the Breeder and Sportsman office was paid a pleasant visit by J. M. Baseford, Sr., who is always full of information in reference to the old time horses of California. He it was who brst brought California Abdallah to this State, paying for him as a three year old what was then considered an enoimons amount, and at various times during the last thirty-five yearB Mr. Basaford has owned many good ones. Although approaching the alloted time of man on earth, he is still as eager to witness a good race as he ever was, and it is very few of the young turf- men who can pick out a good horse any better than can old Mr. BaBsford. Mr. Holly of Vallejo has in Pink 2:23£ a trotter that he fancies has just a trifle more endurance and slamina than any other tiotter in the state. While not having seen and conversed with him myself, Btill the rumor was current at Napa on Saturday last that he would back her for a race ot ten miles against any trotter in the State for S2 500 to $5,- 000. The day has been, and that not so very lung ago, when a proposition of this kind would have been snapped up in a minute, but tbe old long-distance horBes have now become things of the past, aDd it is doubtful, even if the rumor is true, whether Mr. Holly will be able to make such a match. For many years Wesley P. Batch of Boston, Mass. has been in the habit of annually getting up a stallion race for large purses It is no secret that Mr. Balch has made these an- nual contests extremely profitable to himself and it waa at tbe great stallion race of 1889 where the disgraceful scandal was started in reference to the horseB Nehon and Aloryon. This year a $10,000 purse waB offered and but five entries were made, so Mr. Balch has ordered the race off, probably considering that the S10.000 or $12,000 that would have been taken in at the gate waB not enough to warrant him in car- rying on the scheme. I wonder if the fiasco of last year had anything to do with the small number of entries. With Navidad winning at Chioago, and Ladywell at Napa last week, Electioneea once more beads the list of winning Birea for the present season, he having seven who have entered the 2:30 list this year, while Natwood follows as a close second with six of his eons and daughters. Speaking of Electioneer it may not be out of place to mention the fact that a rumor was cirenlated last week that the premier stal- lion of Palo Alto was dying; Fuch however. I am pleased to state was not a fact, and Mr. Lathrop informs me taat he is in better condition than he has been for a long time. He is very playful and gives every reason to believe that his days are not yet numbered at Senator Stanford's great breeding establishment. The bears which form a prominent feature in one of the new advertisements in this issue is not intended for tbe Native Sons only, bnt for all readers of the Breeder and Sportsman who may desire to Becure a new suit of clothes cnt in the very latest style aDd made np in a manner which cannot be excelled by any firm in tbe country . Cbas. Lyons, the London tailor, has made a reputaiion for himself simply on the merits of the goods he sells, and as his prices are ex- tremely reasonable, we can readily imagine that he gets an ample share of trade. Especially to our interior friends would we call attention to Mr. Lyons' advertisement as we know be can and will give satisfaction to those who will correspond with him. John McKerron has been known for many years to be the largest manufacturer of trotting horse boots in tbe world. Commencing a few years ago it was but a short time uulil the excellence of his work caused him so much custom that he had to increase the size of his manufactory and put on additional hands, several times has he had to increase owing to the enormous buBiness, until fit ally he has had to move from the quarters where he has been located for so long. During the past few days everything at the old place baa been topsy-turvy owing to the removal, Mr. McKerron hav- ing taken the commodious buildings at 203 and 205 Mason St. Those who may have business relations with Mr. Mc Kerron Bhould bear the new address in mind . Lack of space prevents us this week from giving a full description of the new premiseB. For the next two weeks there will be thousands upon thousands of strangers visit Sin Francisco to witness tne attractions that will be offered by the Native Sons during the time that will be given over to these young Californians. Those having an hour or two to spare sbouH not forget to visit tbe panorama of tbe Battle of Gettysburg which has been so highly successful during tbe past few months. As a work of art, nothing approaching it has ever been presented to the public, while for realism, one conld almost imagine themselves amid tbe terrors of war and actually facing an enemy. In addition to the panorama itself there is a mesenm attached thereto in conjunction with a Srst-class stereoptican, the pictures from wnich are highly inet.uctiva and edifying. The panorama building is situated on the corner of 10th and Market streets and will amply repay a visit . While at Napa last week I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Bak9r of the firm of Baker & Ross of Santa Rosa, who are the patentees of the very best harrow that has ever been made. It has sloping, chisel shaped teeth held to a frame by a strip of iron, with a bolt at each tooth, so that if it became necessary the teeth could be easily adjusted. It runs on three wheels, and has a lever with which to raise aDd lower it while in motion, and I am satisfied that a track can be made as uniform as though it had b^en gooe over with a garden rake. Jno, A. Goldsmith, Samuel Gamble, I. De Turk, and the Directors of the Napa, Petaluma aod Oakland tracks all join in recommending it to those who may Deed a harrow of this sort. If there be any of our readera who are directly interested in trackB it will amply repay them to cor- respond with the patentees, as we feel assured that it will give perfect satisfaction and is made better than any other harrow now in use. During the meeting at Napa a gentleman of this city bad an entry in one of the trotting races there. Before the race began the judges were requested to allow Carbon to be with- drawn, but they refused as the horse did not show any signs of lameness. The driver of the horse was ordered to go on for one heat, and if at the expiration of that time he showed any lameness the judges agreee to allow his withdrawal. In the first heat Carbjn was distanced, but the owner came up into the stand and requested the jndges not to announce that his horse was distanced as be wished to start him again. The requeat was granted, and Carbon started for the second heat, but in the third was again distanosd. and the horse was seut to the stable. On Saturday while the racing was going on, a written communication was sent by the owner of Carbon to the Secretary of the Napa Association stating that aB his horse had been seriously injured by startiog in the race, that he would hold the judges personally responsible for the valuo of the animal. What the outcome will be is not yet kDown. The Horse and Stable says: "A smart man who wrote an account of the Jack — Palo Alto race at Detroit paw with his eagle eye clean through it. The aforesaid eagle eye is prob- ably as powerfnl as the microscopes of 'hetero power' with which Sammy Weller imagined he might 'see through two flights of stairs and a deal door.* As seen by this remark- able eye, Marvin dropped the first heat to make betting, and then that after winning the second heat, the pool-box wanted another twist, and consequently Marvin 'yanked' Palo Alto in the third heat, and tried to win the fourth, but couldn't. To all of which may it be said in the vulgar ver- nacular, 'Rats'. There never was a sqnarer, more desper- ately fought out race on the American tnrf than the Jack — Palo Alto match, and if Marvin made an error it was in being over anxious and rushing Palo Alto aronnd tbe turns. Palo Alto's unsteadiness beat him." It is a great pity that there is a certain clasa of reporters that see a job in every race. There is no person possessed of even common, ordi- nary sense that could for an iDstant believe that Mr. Marvin would be gailty of any wrong doing in connection with Sen. ator Stanford's horses. He is far above anything of the sort and is one of the very few drivers now in the business against whom no one can point his finger and claim fraud. 1 have found th/it those who are continuously trying to defame the names of jockeys and drivers are those who have lost a dollar or two and seek to quiet their feelings by injur- ing the reputation of those, who in honesty, are far above the dishonorable scribes. Tbe fight is now waging hot down through the Grand Cir- cuit, and is now a battle of California against the world saya J. K. Stringfield in the Kentucky Stock Farm. Thns far the former seems to have a shade the best of it, Adoois, Cricket, Margarets., Alfreds., Snnol and Palo Alto at least beiog hard nuts to crack. New forms, however, are continually showing up. and those wbo are kings to-day may lose their respect before another fortnight rolls aronnd. Viewing it from a non-partisan standpoint the writer fails to see, even if they would make a clean sweep, what a'onld eotitle Cali- fornia to tbe trotting horse supremacy. The stars repre- senting her in tbe East are tbe piak of a brilliant constella- tion, trained by skilled band*, made more proficient bv tbe money with which they are liberally backed. There is no reason why they should not make a remarkable showing. In davs gone by when tbe East sent its best to the West, its Goldemith Maid, its Gloster, its Lucy aDd its St. Jnlien, ooue were to be found on the shores of the raging Paoitio worthy to do them battle. Tbe heats were rarely broken; they Bimply swept all before them. It is the same this year, and California is making a great record, but tbe East as yet has Dot shown its best land. When the cards are finally shuffled as the autumn leaver begin to fall, this penman for one at least believeB that in tbe great game of chance, played now in parlor, club and garret, it will be ascertained that, as has ever been, tbe veteran player has the advantage of his younger rival. In other words when SnDol beats Maud S 'a record and Palo Alto breakB Axtell's crown, then it will be time enough to claim California is superior to Kentuoky as a breeding place for the trotting horse. 1890 %kt %ttzdax awd Spxrrtsmatt. 179 RED BLUFF.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 26TH. The Sonoma and Marin Agricultural Society had a nice cool day for their opening day, and a representative gather- ing of horsemen were to be found in -Petaloma to witness the contests, while the local sportsmen turned out fairly well, though the attendance was hardly as good as might have been expected. The gaily decorated pavilion whiob is at the entrance to the part, was tilled with fruit, cereals, wines and other products of the neighborhood, and was visited by crowds of people during the day, while others wandered among the live stock exhibits, which are both numerous and of a hi»h quality. In the afternoon three races were trotted, the first for district two year olds proved an easy victory for Anna Belle, who has now won two distnot races, the other being at Napa last week. She is a very neat, racey looking tillv with a pure gait and very level head. The other two races were practically walk overs for the two San Mateo Stock Farm's mares, Hazsl Wilkes and Sister V who have so far been unbeaten on the circuit, and they both won easily.

Ac the quarter Hazel had a neck the best of it with Vic'or two lengths in front of Temple, three in advance of Maggie E.

Victor and Maggie E. both broke on the turn, and Hazel drew out three lengths in front of Victor, a length and .i half in advance of Temple, four lengths ahead of Ma» »ie.

Victor broke on the turn, but lost very little by it, and breaking again Haz9l had five lengths advan- tage at the quarter, Victor second six lengths in front of Mageie, with Temple four lengthB behind, having broken on the turn.

After scoring up halt a dozen times the word was given with Prince B. two lengths behind. Flora G. who had the pole set the pace un- til half way round the turn when she broke and Moses led her half a length to the quarter with Sister V. a length far- ther back and Prince four lengths to the rear. Moses broke directly after paBsing the quarter and Sister V. went to the front, passed the half in 1:13, four lengths in front of Flora.

The second day showed much greater promise whiob was certainly fulfilled as far as the attendance was concerned, for the farmers and oountry people turned in goodly numbers in the early morning to witness the stock parade. Petaloma and the outlying district has always been celebrated for the exceptionally fine quality of horses and cattle raised there and nobly did the breeders of good stock come to time ex- hibiting their best horses, trotters, cart horses and cattle be- ing shown in grand order and great pleasure was evinced by all the spectators at the grand display. The afternoon's pro- gramme was a slight alteration of the original programme as Silas Skinner frightened all but one of the would be competi- tors in his class and under the conditions — three to start, the race had to be declared off and a fresh race substituted. The programme for the day had three racQB, the first a district yearling trot was expected to be a gift for Nonpariel, the Napa winner, but thongh he won it was not in wonderful form for had ColnmbuB taken the pole at the half and been kept steady he should have won; as it was he went to pieces. The special race was conceded to be a cinch for Pink but after being cut off on the first tnrn by Maggie E., Holly laid up the heat and over did it, being distanced. Mr. Holly says that the mare was dead off and when he wished to close up round the upper turn she broke all to pieces and could not be got down iu time to save her distance. The mare was evidently dead off tor break or no break she should have been able to trot the last half in 1:12. Judging from her previous performances this year, Mr. Holly was the heaviest loser on the race and was particularly cut up over the race for the bonny chestnut mare is his pet horse. The last race was a good thing for Mattie P after the first two heats as she trotted squarely and steadily, while Al- cona Jr. who won the two first heats stopped badly, while Pete Brandow's Foxy mare coold not pasB the first quart9r without a break. The Vaqnero Tournament had to be post- poned until Thursday after a preliminary canter between heats. District yearlings. Pools sold very slowly at $30 Non- pareil to $9 for the field. After scoring op seven or eight limes Mr. Shatter broke his bridle and an interval of several minutes elapsed before it could be replaced. About the sec- ond time afterwards the trio were sent off Nonpareil trot- ting steadily took the lead in the turn and rounded into the back stretch two lengths in front of Columbus who was four in front of Rustic King, who broke at the three furlongs and Columbus went past leading a length past the half. Colum- bus and Nonpareil both broke in the upper turn, the former never catching until the last of the quartette was thirty yards in front of him; meanwhile Eustic had collared Non- pareil and a pretty race took place down the stretch, it being anyone's race until fifty yards from the wire when Eustic King ran into the fence and Nonpareil won by three lengths, Eustic second. Columbus, who had trotted well down the stretch just beat Sidena for the place fifty yards behind the leaders. Time, 3:05. Mutuals paid $6.60. SUMMARY.

Maggie trotting fast took the pole before the tnrn, and Pink dropped back by degrees until when the quarter was reached she was twelve lenoths behind Maggie E. who waB eight lengthB in front of Oaknnt, just clear of Eedwood. The leading three kept the same distance apart up the back stretch, while Pink got further and further behind, and breaking badly on the turn was a distance and a quarter out when she struck the Btretch. Maggie won the heat olosely by five lengths, Oaknnt twelve lengths in frontof Eedwood and Pink, who ran hard for forty yards declared distanced. Time, 2:24}. Mutuals paid $12.95. Second heat— Maggie sold a hot favorite at §30 to $24 for the field. When the word was given Vioget went out in front, closely attended by Oaknut, who broke at the eighth pole, and was three lengths behiDd Maggie at the quarter, with Eedwood three further back. Passing the three eighth pole Oaknut broke badly, and was passed by Eedwood, who was five lengths behind Maggie. At the half the race was all over, for thongh Eedwood got to within two lengths of Mag- gie at the head of the stretoh, it was only on sufferance, and Maggie drew away half way down the stretch, and Eedwood breaking at the half distance, lost the heat by four lengths, Oaknut sixty yards back. Time, 2:23}. Mutuals paid §9.15. Third heat — A few pools were Bold at $30 Maggie E. to $10 the field. A start was effected the Becond attempt; Maggie led by one length round the turn, when she left her feet, and Eedwood passed her, leading three lengths at the quarter, with Maggie E. second. Maggie broke again before the half, and Eedwood increased his lead to six lergths, and when she left her feet on the tnrn, he increased to eight lengths, and won the heat, Dulling up by six lengths.

The Country Club closed its regular trap shooting seaBon on Saturday last at the Oakland Trotting Park, and by the courtesy of President F. E. Webster and Secretary J. M. Quay, we are enabled to present the score of that meeting, together with a summary of the work done by the members daring the season. The Country Club has in one season reached a position usually attained only after a lapse of con- siderable time. An explanation of the fact may be found in the popularity and energy of its officers, which, coup'ed with the mutual consideration shown by its members, are ignite enough to make its meetings both tests of skill and most enjoyable outings. We do not recall a club which shoots more strictly to rule, yet there is neyer a particle of acerbity nor any harsh exception to rulings. The result is a degree of club spirit which makes it a matter of pride on the part of members to be present, and makes the club an insti- tution likely to engage general esteem. The shooting on Saturday last was particularly good. Ramon E, Wilson, after a long absence from trap grounds, showed up with his trusty ten bore, and killed a clean dozen in one match, and ten of another match. Singularly enough his score was duplicated by President Webster. Mr. Ed. L. Bosqai scored nineteen out of twenty- four rattling good birds in rattling good style. Mr. J. M. Adams scored ten very hard ones in a dozen. Mr. R. B. Woodward and Mr. J. D. Redding, both of whom have been shooting in high form throughout the season, failed to reach their averages, and as much might be eaid of Messrs. A. C. Tubbs and J. A. Robinson. The day was good, being cool and breezy, and the birds were fresh and strong. The first score was made in a Bide Bhoot at 12 live birds, A. S. A. rules; losing side to pay for birds. Team No. 1. R.

A grand ball to be given under the auspiceB of Talare Gun Club at Liberty Hall, Saptember 19th. Grand march at 9 Mr. Frank H. Day, formerly of Los Angeles, but who now makes his home at Monterey, has organized a fine strong Rod and Gun Cluh with the following members, all of them businessmen: F.H.Day, President; S. H. Smith, Vice- President; C. H. Rodriguez, Secretary; C. R. Few. Treas- urer; F.M. Hilby, Edward Ingram and Manuel Doarte, Directors; Jas. T. Stockdale, A. W. Faulkner, A. Gunzen- dorfer, A. Sahaufele. C. H. Hanson, A. A. Osio and F. E. Dangerfield. The club has prepared a good shooting ground just in the edge of the city on a little plateau which over looks the Del Monte and the ocean, and will hold semi- monthly meetings. Mr. Day is a host in himself and may be relied upon to keep the clnb moving. It will send repre- sentatives to the State Association meeting at Sacramento, on October 8th. On a recent visit to Monterey Mr. Day kindly invited the representative of tin* paper to ride behind his spanking team of trotters. The whole of beautiful Del Monte was seen, together with the town of Monterey, and as a characteristic fiDale a feast of tamales was held. Not the tamale of song and commerce, but home-made and delights fnl. Very many quails were seen, all about the brushy land surrounding Monterey. Mr. Day devoteB much time to sport and is so generous in entertainment of visiting sports- men as to merit general appreciation. The Monterey Rod and Gun Club meets to-morrow, when a bulls-head[breakfast will be one of the attractions. A general invitation is ex- tended by the officers of the club, to all who enjoy such treats to visit Monterey and take part in the shouting and other pleasures. As a "line" to campers the experience of Captain Roberts of Fresno may be related. He came to this State in 1S4S, slept on the ground for twenty years, and knows what it is to rough it. He says; "Lew Patchen and myself mined for many years, come now. During that time I saw many wild animals, but none of them ever offered to hurt me; no sir. I have seen moun- tain lions, wolves, bears, rattlesnakes, tarantulas, centipedes, but none of them, as I have said, ever attempted to molest me until a little over two years ago when I was bitten by a black Bpider." "The evening of August 11th, 1SS8, was very hot. I took my blankets and went out on the porch to sleep. About 10 o'clock I was aroused by a sharp stinging sensation on my forehead. It was repeated three times, when I brushed off a small object from my forehead, and supposing it to be some bug or other insect thought no more about it at the time." "In about half an hour I experienced sensations similar to those of George Newton, which were so graphically described recently. I became very dizzy, and it seemed as if my head was whirling around. I then became deathly sick." "You see that spot on mv forehead there?" said the Cap- tain, removing his hat. "Yes, well, there is where the black Bpider— for such it proved to be— stung me." "I was deathly sick for several weeks. Every year, about the date when I was bitten, my eyes become very weak and I feel bad. O, those black spiders are dreadful things, come now." Some Marysville men who have returned from a camping trip to Gold Lake in Sierra county, tell the Appeal a stun- ning bear story. While one of the party was out trying to catch — by hand — a pair of youDg grouse, it was determined by his friends in camp to have a little bear excitement at the expense of the grouse hunter. Messrs. Stone and Atchison were engaged to act as bear, and the return of tbe victim was impatiently awaited by the crowd. He came at last aud the early evening hours were spent telling exciting bear stories. At an early hour the party went to the tent and retired. Just as sleep was abont to close the eyes of the campers, the brush on the side hill was heard to crack, accompanied by the audible growl of a bear, and with it was given the alarm cry by one of the sleepers that a bear was coming into camp. It bad the desired effect. Five of the party with one bound reached the entrance ol tbe tent, as they went throw- ing their blankets over the grouse hunter, who was vainly hnnting for his gun which he kept by his side. At last, weapon in hand, he emerged from the tent and hesitated whioh way to gc, but his hesitancy was of short duration. The bear gave one more grunt, and the grouse hunter dropped his gnu in the middle of the road, and with the fleetness of a deer ran to the boat, which was about sixty yards away, thinking to get out on the water and thereby elude pursuit from old bruin— for he had been told that a bear would not take to water. Untieing the boat be shoved off from tbe shore, leaving his five companions to their fate. He remained out on the lake about two hours in "light attire", and only returned to camp after his friends bad bnilt a big fire and assured him that the bear hud been Beared away and the coast was clear. When shivering with cold aud fright he returned, and was shown the bear tracks, and also where he had turned over a pot of beans, the grouse hunter was heard lo wiBh he was back in Marysville away from the wild beasts of the forest. He oonld not (deep that uight, but with his gun, which was 1 »aded with bird bhot, watched for the bear, trembling at every noise. Tbe grouse hunter could not be persuaded to sleep in tbe tent during the remainder of the stay. He sought shelter every night in a neighburiug bouse. He is still firm in the belief that a genuine bear visited the camp, and while on the joorney home told of tbe narrow escape of the parly fr being devoured. He asserts that he saw the old bear u- cub leisurely passing down tbe road dragging a side bacon with them as he entered the boat. 182 %ht %xtt$Ltx awtl gyoxtsxtmu. Aug. 30 Campiner and Campine Outfits, A manual of instruction for yonng and old sportsmen by Mr. G. O. Shields of Chicago, who aa "Coquina" is known to oil American readers of Sportsmen's journals as an instructive and entertaining writer and author of "Rustlings in the Rockies", "Hunting in the Great West" and other delightful volumes appears upon our table. Mr. ShieldB is assisted by Dr. C. G. DaviB, Col, J. Fry Lawrence and Mr. Frank F. Frisbie. The little book, published by Rand, Mc- Nally & Co. of Chicago and !New York, is crowded full of practical hintB on how to drees for hunting and fishing ex- cursions, what to provide in the way of bedding, shelter, eat- ables, camp utensils and other equipage, how to select camp- ing grounds, camp cookery, camp Hygiene and how to load a pack horse. An exhaustive, practical, pleasantly written volume, it should have place in the library of every sports- man, angler and sojourner in the woods. 611 Hints and Points B'or Sportsmen- What more attractive title could have been chosen for a charming little compendium like that by Seneca, published by the Forest and Stream Publishing Co. of New York, at $1.50 and kindly sent for notice? It is worth the money just for the fun to be had in trying to think of somethiDg in the way of suggestions to hunters and anglers that cannot be found in it. The whole matter of weapons, the science of hunting and trappirjg, the art of fisbiDg, of eampiDg, the care of dogs, boats and boating, health hints, flies and fly making, and pretty much everything else that ought to be in such a book is adequately covered in the volume under considera- tion. The author knows how to condense, and we unhesi- tatingly commend his work to all who ever go afield. The Art of Shooting. As above entitled Mr. Chas. Lancaster, gun, rifle and pis- tol manufacturer at 151 New Bond St.. Loudon, W. Eogland, sends a little illustrated treatise on the Art of Shooting, of which he is the author. The book is elementary, profusely illostrated and written in such clear and Bimple style that with the test and the pictures no tyro need have difficulty in learning how to handle his gun and to hold in order to makesuccessfolly the various incoming and outgoing. quarter- ing aod overhead shots. Advice is bIbo given as to fit of ruds, cleaning them, powders, loads, etc. Mr. Lancaster has for many years been recognized as an expert both in ruakiug and shooting guns. He has taught a great many men to shoot, using the principles laid down in the book and we have pleasure in recommending the volume both to those who are beginning the sport and to those who find that after practice, they are not well up in the art. This afternoon at the Oakland Trotting Park beginning at two o'clock, a team match between the Gun Club of San Francisco and the Alameda County Sportsmen's Club will be shot. The teams will be of ten men each, Alameda hav- ing Norton, Knowles, Cadman, Osborn, Smith Maynard, Haskell, Miyhew and Kellogg; the Gun Club being repre- sented by Eddy, Jellett, Butler, F. W. Tallant, Sanborn, R. B. "Woodward, Wooster, Orr, Gillette Jr. and Webster. The match is at live birds, American Shooting Association rules, for a handsome trophy, and naturally excites great interest, the team consisting almost without exceptioo, of crack trap shots. There seems little ch »ice between them. Sportsmen generally are invited to be present. The trotting park is reached by the Berkeley train. Several letters have been received from sportsmen calling attention to the confusion in the minds of many shooters about the Game Laws. One from Mr. E. A. Roberts, a promi- nent attorney of Grass Valley say6: "My attention has been oalled to a trade catalogue sent out by a San Francisco deal- er, in which appear what purport to be the present Game Laws of California, which I think are put in such shape as to be misleadiog to those who are not well up in such mat- ters, which by the way I find to be the way in the majority of oases. We have an annual confusion of dates up here as to when quail may be lawfully taken, partly through design of unruly so called sportsmen, partly through honest ignorance and our efforts to keep the 10th of September a permanent monument should not be neutralized or rendered totally inoperative by the distribution of printed matter, giving incorrect dates possibly by some typographical error or the unauthorized use of names high in authority by careless dealers. You might suggest that all dealers sending statements relative to the game laws should use the utmost care to procure correct versions. As it now stands no one could be blamed for claiming October 1st and under Buch high authority as to make it almost a perfect defense as against the statute." It will be learned with the utmost pleasure by every real sportsman in our constituency that Mr. Austin B. Sperry of Stockton reached home last week after five months of travel in France, Germany. Switzerland aod Italy. Mr. Sperry waB accompanied throughout by his wife, and in Italy met his mother and sister, who had been abroad for a year or more. Such an opportunity for observation when improved by bo keen and dispassionate an observer as Mr. Sperry, cannot but have resulted in the accumulation of facta which will make alike for the broadeniog and strengthening not only of his own mind but also for the benefit of the community in which he live3. The primary object of the trip was to pass some months at Carlsbad, Germany, for his health, but a Bhort stay there sufficed to convince him that his health was as likely to be confirmed in California as anywhere else, and also to determine that his trouble was not constitutional but was merely the result of over exertion and too assiduous I devotion to the great busiuess interests of which he is the i executive head. At last advices from Europe Austin waB I monkeyiog around Pall Mall in an excessively high hat and collar, very baggy plaid nether coverings and a Poole coat | that looked as though it was made for a number six man in- stead of a number fourteen. We have not learned whether he retains his knowledge of American or talks only English now, but since he is a Native Son of the Golden West and high in the councils of that order, we Buspeot he is just the same plain, alert, clear-headed, natural leader that he was before he impinged upon the crowned heads of Europe. We are glad he is home, and hope to hear from him directly with some account of what he saw and did while away. It will be remembered that the supervisors of each county have the power to change the game and ti&h laws at pleasure. The acts relative to game and fish, as amended by the last Legislature, and changed in some counties by the Supervis- ors, prescribe the following as the seasons within which the game and fish specified may be lawfully taken: Quail, Marin County, October 1st to March iBt. Kern County, September 10th to February 1st. Lake County, August 20th to March 1st. Other counties, September 10th to March 1st. Partridge, grouse, rail, Sepiember 10th to March 1st.

Moore of Melrose, MaBB., a mastiff dog pup, whelped April 10th, 90 by Ilford Chancel- lor— Dame Minting.

At a meeting of the board of Supervisors, held August 4, 1890. it was ordered that any and all dogs or owners of dogs of any kind or description, be prohibited from running at large in tbe yard of the Courthouse of Humboldt county. — Silver State. It seems that the Commissioners of Humboldt county are drawing the line pretty close when they attempt to prohibit a man from running at large in the yard of the Courthouse simply because he happens to be the owner of a dog' — Elko Independent. Mr. Joe Orear of Downieville has always been an admirer of the black and tan setter and has recently brought one from the Malcolm Kennel in Baltimore, of which the Nevada Tran- script says: "A rather common looking, medium sized female dog, cov- ered with dark, wavy, silken hair, and appearing to have a good deal of Better blood in its veins, was in the express of- fice here Wednesday night en route from Baltimore, Mary- land, to J. "W. Orear of Downieville. That dog cost $500 and the expense of getting it here is $60, which included 'board and lodging,' as the express and baggage men all along the route saw that the kind-eyed and friendly canine lived on the fat of the laod. The cage in which it rode was a wooden crate about five feet long, three feet wide and three feet high, so there was plenty of room for it to turn around. Mr. Or- ear is a famous fancier of dogs." ROD. Says the Santa Cruz Surf of the Fish Commission Chief of Patrol: — "Chief of Patrol Callundan of the Board of Fish Commissioners is here in our city loooking after the inter- ests of fish and game, and his presence here has done much to Btop illegal fishing and hunting. He is here to investi- gate a report as to the killing of young email at Scott's creek and other localities, aod it would be well for some of the poachers to look out a little, as there are spies on the look- oat, and if they should be caught it will go hard with them. The emptying of tar into the river at the gas works has been stopped, and from the appe-irance of the waters of the San Lorenzo the saw-dust is being run into it, and it should be stopped immediately. The vieit of Mr. Callundan is most timely, and it will encourage our young and energetic Rod and Gun Club and have much effect in checking illict taking of fish and game." A sportsman of San Mateo writes that for several weeks honters have been killing rail on the San Mateo marshes, and from other sources like complaints come. In response to tbe complaints, and in order to place all shoot- ers on an equal footing as regards knowledge of the law, we have been <*t pains to write to every county clerk of Califor- nia and append the game and fish laws as at present in force. The habits of fish are little understood, though such as herring, mackerel and pilchards are known to be migratory, appearing and disappearing in large numbers, it is not so gen- erally known that this is true also of the flat fish. They will travel hundreds of miles, and sometimes entirely disappear. They move together and have their own favorite places of resort. Then they have different habits according to size. Fish of the same year as we may suppose, travel together and move from place to place. The experienced fisherman can follow them, and knows jast where he is likelv to find those of a particular size. But sometimes they disappear almost entirely and remain away for a long time. It is not to be con- cluded that they are exterminated, for on a Budden they will reappear in great numbers. They artivo in a night, like the woodcocks. Quite recently, in the present year, the large tnrbot appeared in this way. None bad been taken in a long time when suddenly they were met with in every direotion, What is said by an exchange finds its confirmation in the appearance of mackerel in countless shoals this year. A whole company of Breeder and Spoetsman readers seem to have en joyed the company of our friend of the Lake County Examiner in Oregon recently, if the following inter- esting notes are evidence. There are few more Bkillfnl ang- lers than that same Editor. He writes:— "Last Friday, in company with Geo. Lovegrove and Frank Light, we started on a fishing trip to little Chewaucan. Our first halt waB at the ranch of Walker & Fuller, where we were invited to lunch. Of course we accepted the invitation and, although not hungry, did ample justice to the occasion. We then passed up through the mountains, viewing some beautiful little valleys and fine timber, and took our quarters for the night at the ranch of Geo. Lovegrove, in the beautiful valley at the head of Thomas creek. Messrs. Lovegrove, Birk- maier, Drum and Kenfro all have beautiful ranches in this valley. Saturday we passed down to the ranch of Stephen Gaylord, on little Chewaucan. Mr. Gaylord has a mOBt excellent ranch, with a section of hay land fenced in an excel- lent stock country. There are also a number of other beau- tiful ranches in that locality. The weather was not very favor- able for Ashing, notwithstanding, we secured an abundance for eating purposes while there, and brought quite a nice supply home with us. On Monday morning we parted with Mr. Gaylord, whose hospitality we had enjoyed while there, and arrived home that evening very much inervated by the trip. The trip waB altogether a pleasant one, and our only regret was that we could Dot stay longer.

The Friscos commenced the month of September most auspiciously by administering a most beautiful coat of white wash to their bitterest opponents — the black jerBeyed Col- onels. Roscoe Coughlin pitched for the home team and pitched superb ball too. But three little bits — all singles— lonesomely cropping out in the sixth, eighth and ninth in- nings were made of this pitcher of many titles. True, he was hit out often, but the kindergartens pride, Robe Levy, the cranks favorite"Blockers" Hinley,and the reliable"Silent" Stevens were on hand on all occasions and very successfully lessened thebase hit column of the Colonels great team. But Cougblin, Levy, Hanley and Stevens do not deserve all the credit for the unwelcome basket of goose eggs presented the Colonels, for Ebright, Everett, Shea and Veach also materially assisted in promoting the Athenian's ill-disguised discomforture and humiliation. Little Carsey, who at times does such wonderful work for the Oaklands, received a merry cannonading in the game, every Friecoite getting a safe Bmashat him, but Coughlin. "Kid" Carsey was not entirely to blame for the immense contrast the run column presents, for that wonderful player. General O'Neill, was in the game and the mere announcement that Sir Norris is to play is a "sure tip" for two or three errors at least and this lime he had a trio of misplays to grace (or disgrace) his score. Caniillion aUo oame to tbe front with two errors while tbe remaining four were evenly distributed between Lohman, Sweeney, McDonald and C. O'Neill. No doubt Labor Day will always be pleasantly remembered by the Friscos as the first time for the season of 1890, they shut oat the Oaklaods. The score : San Fb*scibco.

Poor pliying at critical times was the principal cause of the Stooktons' defeat in this game. Young oconpied the points for the Gas City boyB and pitched a strong game, being steadier than usual and permitting only six bits to be made off him. But Lonkabough for tbe Friscos did still better, be allowing bat three hits, while~~he succeeded in disposing of eight men on strikes. Cahill did not play, hiB place being filled by young Pache, an amateur, who acquitted himself admirably. Fogarty was also onable to play, and Arm- strong covered second bag in excellent fashion. The FriscoB forged ahead from the start, their rnns accruing from their single base on balls, light bitting aud tbe few stupid errors of their opponents. The Stocktons made a gallant effort at the close. With two out Fudger hit safely, and Holliday'e "homer" gave tbem two earnea runs. Vogt ended the game by flying out to Veach. Shea, Levy and Ebright each pcored two hits, Shea and Ebright having a three bBgger in theirs.

Thcbsdat, Sept. 4th, 1890, at San Francisco. It seems almost impossible for the Senators to win unless they have Bowman behind the bat. Early in this game the "brainy" catcher sustained another accident to hia already crippled right hand and had to quit playing. McHale took his place, bnt did not seem thoroughly acquainted with Har- per's signs, while the team also appeared to lose confidence. However, thoDgh the Senators were weakened considerably by the change of catchers, and greatiy missed Bowman's hit- ting and coaching, the Oaklands hnd the game won in the first inning, having bunched well on Harper and scoring three runs, which was one more than the Sacramentos se- cured in the entire game. Then tbey trotted one man over the plate in each the fourth, fifth and sixth innings, all of which runs were unearned, resulting through battery and infield errors. The Senators hit Cobb rather freely, but not fortunately, and stupid base running again lost them a few runs. The fielding on both Bides was generally good, but no specially brilliant plays occurred. McDonald and Dungan, particularly the former, carried otf the fieldiDg honors, and Lobman caught magnificently, besides securing the longest hit in the game. The double umpire system worked admir- ably. The score: Oakland. f Saceamento . Long Bill Everett has greatly improved in his hittiDg, and when he meets the'm how they do go. Joe Shea has been hitting the ball with mighty effect late- ly. Two hits a game is just about Joe's speed. Oa intricate points they're are few umpires better informed, and more judicious and decisive in their rulings, than is Jack Donohue. Lookabaugh is pitching better and better as the season advances. On interior trips he has been the most successful of any of Finn's twirlers. Brittan, Ward, McCabe, Hoffman and Levy, released play- ers from the North WeBt League, and ex-Manager Harris of the Portlands, are in town. The Senator's temporary slide may be truthfully ascribed to their unfortunate spell of bad luck which has, within the past few weeks, assailed nearly every player in the team, either in the shape of accidents or the more dreaded mala- ria. Daly was the first to succumb to this latter most dis- agreeable ailment, and then Godar was laid up, while Roberts iB scarcely able to play. Buffering greatly with the Bame complaint. Then Stapleton, Reitz and Bowman have had bad bruises or broken fingers which has compelled their absence from many games, and altogether the players are to be congratulated on having a team in the field at all. With the men in condition, however, they "in it" with a rush for the pennant and jast watoh them con- tinue to set the pace for the others. Sunday will be a gala day for the Native Son base ball en- thusaists, for two games between teams representing four different Parlors will be played that day at Central Park. In as much as no outsider will be allowed to participate, and the teams are made up of players who are for the most part novices in the art ot chasing the sphere, a rare day's sport may be anticipated. At 11 A. M. Sunday, the National Par- lor team, under the management of W. S. Grattan, will play the Golden Gates, under tbe captaincy end management of Fred S. Griffiog. On the same day at 2 P. M., the Rincons, of which L. K. Hangenkamp is manager, will compete with T. W. Doyle's Pacifies. The teams wincing the Souday games tfill contest on Monday, and the victors will be pre- sented with a beautiful trophy. Mr. Eddie Moran will officiate as umpire at all the games. Cantjllon. s 8..

The Salt Lake City correspondent of the Sporting News states that Hen Moore, who has lately been playing magnifi- cent ball, has started for home, the Salt Lakes having dis- banded. Hen Moore arrived in this city last Thursday from Salt Lake. He came down from Sacramento with the Senatorial team and is reported by them as apparently in tine playing condition. Brittan, who has lately been released by Tacoms, has been signed by the Stocktons. He is said to be a fine intielder and very fair hitter. He played with Fogarly and Holliday in Los Angele3 last winter. With a battery what a team the released players of the sea- son would make up with Isaacson on first, Charlie Sweeney second, Stickney third, Reilly short stop, Hill right, Moore center and Cahill left field. Fred Jevne, who formerly played with the Pioneers and Sacramentos, and who but recently has been appointed um- pire in the Western Association, had a most unpleasant experi- ence in the KanBas City-Denver game, played at Kansas, August 23d. Two questionable decisions of his in the ninth inning, when Kansas City was about to tie the score, enraged the crowd to snch an extent that they swarmed into the field, hooting and jeering at him. Two young boys got hold of a rope and, in fun, proposed to lynoh him. This added to the excitement, and it looked for a time as if the umpire would be mobbed. Jimmy Manning climbed up to thetop of the fence and addressed the mob. He said the umpire had decided rightly, and advised that no violence be attempted. This quieted the mob to a degree. In the meantime the players of both clubs formed a hollow square around the umpire and escorted him to the elab house, whence he eseapsd to a cab and was driven away.

It is a game of see-saw between the Friscos and Oaklands now One day the Friscos are np and the Oaklands down and the next its vice versa. The Sacramento team is the tall "candlestick" that complacently smiles at their fluctuations but is little affected itself by their "ups and downs" on the championship's plank. Manager Leonard, of the Omahas, has organized the fol- lowing team of the Western Association players to take to this coast the coming iwinter: Messett, first; Hanrahan second; White, third; Walsh, short; Keams, right; Treadway, center; McGlone, left; and pitchers Fagin and McNabb, and oatchers Newman and Moran. .591 .528 .517 .367 How many pitchers who are on the diamond to-day will last as long and do as good work as did Bobby Matthews? Think of is. Bobby was a star when most of the present crop of pitchers were "mewling and pnking in their nurses' arms" and was away in it until four years ago.— Life. Fred Roberts is suffering from an attack of malaria which, however, has not prevented him making his wonderful plays in left. Its at the bat where he feels it most, being Bized with a sickening dizziness whioh greatly retards his heavy stick work. Fred wants a leave of absence for a week in order to relieve himself of this depressing illness. No ball-player in America has more admirers than Billy Sunday, the fast-sprinting center-fielder of the Fittsburgs. They will be sorry to hear that the profession is about to lose this shining light. Sunday will retire from the dia- mond this fall and devote himself exclusively to evangel- ical work. He will have a position on the active force of the Young Men's Christian Association at Chicago.— Sporting News. What is the cost of a home run in baseball, and what at- tractive feature does it add to the game, compared with the chances for fielding skill which it deprives the fielder of? These are pertinent questions in these days of slugging for home runs, with a lively ball to bat with. A home run is made at the cost, to the batsman, of a run of 120 yards at his topmost speed, which involves an expenditure of muscu- lar power needing a half hour rest to recuperate from such a violent effo t. A home run hit yields just one run when no runners are on the bases — and all the infielders have to do when it is made is to look on at the fun of the sprint run- ning, while an outfielder trots after the ball. Now a single run made by a safe hit for one base, a good steal to second, and a couple of sacrifices costs no violent expenditure of strength; gives the infielders ample facilities for an attractive display of skill, besides affording the spectators an opportun- ity to see some sharp base running in stealing single bases. Just think of the monotony of a game marked by a series of home runs in each inning. I saw one game in the days of the lively elastic ball years ago in which runs were made by the hundred, and home runs by tbe dozen, and a more tire- some exhibition I never witnessed.— Chadwick in Sporting Life. The release of Honest Bill Stickney from the Oaklands has cost that team the loss ol many friends and placed its man- agement in a rstker peculiar and unsavory light. Stickney was released for no other reason than to pander to the morbid and spiteful spirit of an alleged player, who himself, devoid of the instincts of a gentleman.actnally feared to have a man of Stickney's sterling merits in the team. Because Stickney in righteous indignation had the temerity to assert his manhood to this"power behind the throne"he must "bend the suppliants knee" to the would be god by apologizing or suffer the alternative of being released. Was there ever suoh a rank injustice perpetrated on a player of the California League before? And this to a gentleman whose connection with the national game has always been a synonym for effi cient and clever services, faithfully performed. Aplayerwhose inestimable qualities on and off the diamond has won for him the admiration and respect of every one with whom he came in oontaot. Stickney's high sense of inbred honor revolted at the thought of fawning to this underline, and so he gladlv accepted bis release in preference. "Old Mobile's" words in the Sacramento-Oakland game of August 16th, which were ridiculously denounced and misconstrued by his erstwhile manager alone, as "insubordination" were emi- nently well-timed, just and to the point, and his forbearance from dealing summary vengeance to his tormentor when under such irritating circumstances merited and received the spontaneous commendation of press and public alike. But his release was only bridged over till the patroos indig- nation had somewhat subsided for the imperative commands of the Pooh Bar, who exercises such a mysterious influence over his manager, had to be obeyed at any cost, and accord- ingly Stickney had to go. a great orator, and general and po- et, and "what not" who has lately been sojjnrning at tte Sulphur Springs is vaiDly endeavoring to fill the place left vacant by the regretted Stiokney bnt as yet no'.bing bra windy and snlphurio baseball has emanated from corner with demoralizing results. 198 % t« ^xttfat and ^jttrcismati Sept. 6 The Amateurs.

The Burlingtons, with several new players went to Santa Rosa and were easily defeated by the home team principally through their luckily bunching their bits o'ff pitcher Sulli- van in the fourth and seventh innings. With the exception of these innings Sullivan pitched great ball, but when the Sonoma boys commenced guaging him for long shots he became nervous and rapidly went to pieces. The Bupport rendered him was excellent, the infield giving a magnificent exhibition. Callen though not hit hard, was less steady than on previous occasions allowing five bases on balls, hitting a player and making two wild pitches. Excellent fielding kept down the basehits off him. Apeculiar feature of thebanta Rosas was that of the seven hits credited the team but one was a single. Reilly gained a home run by knocking the ball over the fence, Stultz and Gimmel made triples and Arlett Pace and Cook each had a two bagger. Dunn, Bradley. Sullivan, Reilly and Hnlen each fielded their positions elegantly, while Gimmel, McCarthy and Dean made splendid catches in the outfield. Pete Meegan's umpiring was most satisfactory.

Wonder if this will be a jonah on the "Newsies" as it alwayB has been on other amateur teams. Sharp'B fielding in laBt Sunday's game was positively grand. Between Gimmel and Sharp as left fielders, honors will be about even, The San Joaquin Amateur League, which was composed of the Mystics, Maboolians, Lodis and I X Ls, has gone under. The managers intend reorganizing on a more solid basis for next year. Coleman who played with the Will & Fincks last Sunday, has the actions of a tine second baseman. He also seems to be a good hitter, and if we can judge from his first game, will prove a valuable man to the Young Giants. The San Franciscos of the St. Mary's College League won the August series of games by taking four of the Beven games played with the Oaklands of the same league. Joe Corbett and Young Joliffe formed the battery of the winning team. Pitcher Sprague, formerly of the Dolphins of Santa Cruz, is now with the Vallejos. In his initial game against the Allens on Sanday he did excellent work, giving bnt one base on balls, allowing bnt six hits, and striking oat eleven men. With he and Baltz to alternate, the Marines have a brace of gT*ftt pitchers. Aleck Bradley, late second baseman of th9 BarlingtonB, has been signed to play with the Santa Rosas. He will prob- ably be assigned to Bhort tield position, retiring Arlett. Manager Grace is to be congratulated on securing Aleck, for a better player and more gentlemanly and faithful man can- not be found on any amateur ball field. This change will materially strengthen the already strong Santa Rosa club. MoLaughlin's erroneous decisions at second base last Sun- day, considerably rattled Captain Thompson of the Reports, and as a result he was credited with four errors, two of which were fumbles and the others a couple of low, though not poor throws. Had the umpire allowed two man Thomp- son clearly had out at second in the fore part of the contest, the chances are Thompson would have played his usually steady game. Frank Loughran, one of the best of Californias pitchers, has expressed bis willingness to play again, and if satisfac- tory arrangements oan be made, will play with any of the amateur teams. Here ia a player there should be a rush after, for besides being a great pitoher, he is a most clever in or out-tielder, and is a very fair sticker. He would just about fit in the Will & Fincks. Burlingtons or Aliens. The Burlington Route people were evidently dissatisfied with the poor showing Sheridan's old Franklins, playing under the name of the Burlingtons, were making, for they have put in an entirely new team under the management of Mr. Wm. Smith. ThiB team was formerly known as the Stars of Oakland, and has several well known players of the Tribunes in their list. The batteries are Rohan and Wilds; Kennedy and Mulvey; first base, Traynor or Strand; seoond, Farrell; third, Fitzgerald; short-stop. Geo. Kelly; left-field, W. Kelly; center, Crowley, and right-tield, Flynn. This is an exceptionally stro-g team who, no doubt, with the name Burlington on their breasts, will give the leaders a hard rub for honors. ♦ SENATORIAL SAYINGS. Sizing Up the Sacramento's Situation. Devlne on the Amateur Question. Sacramento, Sept. 2nd. Editor Breeder and Spokesman:— Baseball matters have been very quiet here of late, and only a few of our numerous cranks have thought it advisable to talk "ball" on account of the rapid decline of the Senators in the League race. But we still think we're sure winners, despite our spell of poor luck, and have firm hopes that at the end of the season the silken banner will proudly float over the homes of the Sena- torial apgregation. The downward course of the team may be easily accounted for by the condition of the mainstays of the club. Bowman is laid up with a very sore ringer and the bulk of the catching has devolved on young McHale who, although a good emergency man, has nut had sufficient ex- perience to work as effectively as Bowman. Young Reitz the brilliant guardian of the second cushion for the Senators has also been disabled and his excellent play- ing is greatly missed. Ed. Stapleton, the genial manager of the local team still continues to play the initial corner in excel* lent style and labors hard and earnestly for the success of his team. Jack Daily, Sacramento's bard working short stop id still the same old Jack and his playing is as brilliant as is bis countenance. I was very much pleased with your sensible article in last weeks edition, in defense of amateur baseball; it was the plain facts and as yon trnly intimate were it not for the younger leagues the older organizations would surely die out. I had the pleasure and honor to preside for one year Pres- ident of the Amateur League, and during that seasnu this organization turned out some players who have made bril- liant successes on the Eastern as well as the California dia- monds. I speak of such players as "Pop" Swett of the Bos- ton Players League Club, Smalleyof the Cleveland National League team, and Fred Roberts,the greatest left fielder play- ing to-day on the California diamond. I was very sorry to read that Mike Finn, was one of those who desired to see amateur baseball shut out. He shonld look back to past years when he received from the ranks of the amateurs the player that did more to win him tbe cbampionsbip than any other in his team. I refer to Tom Powers, now captain of the Bal- timore American Association team. I hope Mike will think of those times and give the younger organization all the chanceB in the world to develop their abilities. Mart Devine.

Harry C. Casidy, of the Alpine Club, has issued a challenge for a one mile scratch race to Frank L. Cooley, of the Olym- pic Club. Both amateurs are very evenly matched, and the race will be looked forward to with much interest by all the athletes. The exhibition of the Olympic Club, which was held at the Grand Opera House on Wednesday evening, was an athletic and financial success. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The entry list of the Sacramento meeting closed en Satur- day evening last, and Mr. Walter A. Scott, who has charge of the games, feels highly flattered at the large number of en- tries. Some of the crack athletes failed to hand in their nameB, but on the whole the events "will be closely oontested, and perhaps the coast records may be lowered in the half and two-mile mm. P. D. Skillman does not Beem to worry over his training, and will not run up to his best form. He has been "one of the boys" lately, and may find a very tough opponent in the person of H. C. Casidy, who is ready to run the race of his life. The half should fall to Casidy. The hurdle event is liable to prove a soft thing for Young Foster, with H. C. CaBidv a close second. The two-mile ran will be ably contested by Skillman, Casidy and Cook. The latter has been doing some bard work lately, and will make a hard fight. The walk should fall to Horace Coffin, with A. Cook second. Henderson and Espinosa, of the Olympic Club, are matched to run one hundred yards for a $30 trophy at Saciamento on September 17th. Henderson will allow Espioo3a a start of eight yards. Although Espinosa has never made his mark as a sprinter, still he has shown some good speed, and if he is defeated, Henderson will be immediately classed as the best sprinter, outside of Schifferstein, on the Pacific Coast. Skillman and Winslow recently paid Harry Casidy a visit, and expressed themselves as highly pleased with the new half-mile track at Souther Farm. All three men ran several trial races, and astonished the farm hands with their won- derful running. Several athletes are training at the Bay District track. Kendal, Skillman, Winslow, Garrison, Cook and Holland are among the number. It has not yet been decided how the athletes will travel to Sacramento on the 16th, bnt in a few days Mr. Scott will announce to those who have entered, the way in which they are to receive their tickets- The trains for Sacramento leave Sau Francisco as follows: 7.30 A. M., arriving at 11.30 A, M.; 3.30 P. M., arriving at 7.30 P. M ;5P.M. arriving at 9 P. M.. and 8 P. M, arriving at 11.40 P. M. It is probable that all the athletes who can possibly do so, will leave early in the day in order to get as much rest as possible after the jour- ney. The games will commence early on the morniDg of the 17th and will be finished by noon time. A representative of the Breeder and Sportsman will attend the games, and a full account will be given in these columns. Kendall and Little must mean business, as both have recently had new running shoes sent out to them from Fra- ser's of New "York. Little is away in the country at the pres- ent time, and it is probable that he will engage in a genuine match on his return. Apropos of Little it is said that a prom- inent officer of the Alpine Club now boasts of having once ran against him in a half-mite race some years ago in one of the large Eastern cities. The P. C. A. A. A. Bhould shift this rumor to the bottom, and if found true the officer referred to should be tried for aiding in a fraud. Sam Greenberry, Ed Cahill, F. E. Holland and Ed Everett, paid a visit to California City on Sunday, and when they got through angling, the bay contained 193 lbs. less of rock cod . The four named athletes are thinking about getting up a championship fishing match. Cahill says he will win if he has to dive to the bottom and hook the fish on his line. William Day is to make an effort to break the American record for a mile aDd a half at the games of the New Jersey Athletic Clnb, Sept, 30. He will start from scratch in the handicap at that distance. William Greer Harrison and the regular ticket were elected and the Olympic Club members showed good taste in their choice. It would have been more encouraging to the newly elected officers, however, if more of the members had cast their votes, for out of the whole membership only 200 votes were cast. The newly elected officers are as follows: W. Greer Harrison, E A Rix, W E Holloway. Henry B Rubs, E A Kolb, Walter A Scott, A C Forsyth, M H Weed, J H Gilhuly, John Elliott and A J Treat. An opposition ticket with the three last named directors replaced with R Mc- Arthur, J P Kelly and A B Field was issued at the last mo- meut but was defeated. The officers in the new Board will be elected as follows: President, W Greer Harrison; Vice- President. E A Rix; Secretary, W E Holloway; Treasurer, Henry B Russ; leader, E A Kolb; captain, Walter A Scott. The boilding scheme will now be taken in hand again, and with the aid of Mr. Harrison some gcod work will be done before another year. Peter Cannon, running under the name of Charles Williams, won a mile race at the Caledonian games at Ottawa, Can., August Hth, finishing ahead of Ed. Case and others. G. W. Rjwdou, the Eoslish amateur jumper, is reported to have cleared a bar at 6ft. 5§ in. in a running high jomp at the games at the Dawlish Athletic Club on August 21st. The feat was presumably accomplished with the aid of weights. Frank Lowrey won a pedestrian oontef>f with Daniel OXeary at Dallas, Texas, closing August 17th. He iB stated to have traveled one hundred miles in fifteen consecutive days, beating the ex-champion by eight miles. The teams of the S*lford Harriers, of Manchester, Eog., and the Manhattan Athletic Club of New York city, are the i first to meet at Detroit. Mich., October 1st and 4th. when the following events will form the programme: 100yds., 220yds., 440yds., 880yds., mile and five mile ruts and two mile steeplechase — all handicaps. It is possible that some kicking may be done over the result of the walk at Sacramento, if the judge of walking is not allowed an aBSiBtant, COOLEY CHALLENGED BY CASIDY. Harry C. Casidy, of the Alpine Club, has desired us to state that he is not quite satisfied with the result of the one- mile run at the last championship meeting which was held on Decoration Day, and he would like to have another go from scratch with F. L. Cooley, of the Olympic Club, for a trophy valued at $25. Mr. Casidy will run Mr. Cooley any time within a couple of weeks after the Sacramento meeting, and under any management he desires. Both men will be in tip-top condition on September 17 th, and there is no reason why a match should not be made at once. Mr. Casidy will place a deposit in the hands of the Breeder and Sportsman as soon as Mr. Cooley accepts his challenge. Mr. Casidy'a address is Souther Farm, San Leandro, Cal, THE GAME OF CRICKET.

The membership of the different clubs is increasing which is a good sign that the game will shortly attract much attention on the Pacific Coast. Concerning cricket the New York "World says: Now that the oricket season is drawing to a close, a comparison with last year's can be made. There is no doubt that this game gained considerably in popularity over any previous year, and the fact that many clubs doubled their membership of last year shows that an active interest was taken in the sport. The Manhattans are the champions of New York, having defeated every club with which they played. The formation of the League benefitted the game to a great extent, but the clubs which remained outside suffered from a dearth of dates. The Amateur League Club was a notable instance of this, as it had a large number of vacant Saturdays on the list, while their more fortunate rivals within the organization could hardly find vacant dates to play off their postponed matohes. The improvement of the New York Club was ODe of the surprises of the year. It has now a team which com- pares favorably with ai.v in the district, while two years ago it was an easy prey for , 11 oorners. The Kings County and Cosmopolitan Clubs also gained in numbers and active strength and both have been able to place two teams in the field on the same day. The record of the New Jersey A. C. was rather disappointing, as starting out well, it appeared to go all to pieces in their League games, while it kept up its prestige in outside matches. The New Jerseys have several good men in their eleven and they should have won more of their games. The Brooklvns appear to have a good team, but they haven't had a ohaDce yet of testing their strength with a League Club. The Berkeleys promise to acquire the principal players of the Staten Island Club and next Beason will probably have the strongest team in New York. IN THE SURF. The weather favored surf bathing during the past week, and busineBB at the bath bouseB was rather good. Some improvements have lately been made at the Sheltered Oove baths. A greaned pole has been erected and it causes mooh amusement amongst the batheiB and on-lookers. The tank at the Terrace Beths at Alameda was thoroughly cleaned out a few days ago, and the bottom is not quite as muddy as it was. The swimming race for Native Sons which will take place at the Terrace Baths will have a large number of entries and good time will be made. C. Benedict, of Montreal, Ont., at the annual races of the Montreal Swimming Club, August ISth, swam one thousand yards in 16m 17As, thus lowering the previous beat American amateur record for the distance, which was 17m 53s, made by himself at the same place, Aug. 24, 1889. AT THE OAKS. The coming N. S. G. W. regatta is the sole absorbing topic in rowine circles at the present time. The oarsmen are hav- ing a genuine picnic and they seem to know it. The prizes offered are very liberal and the list of races unusually large, and the oarsmen could not help but go into training under the circumstances. Here is a lesson for the Pacific Rowing Association. Composed of so many good clubs as it iB why should it not get up a regatta on the same terms. The poor priz9s offered by the regatta committees during the last couple of years were the cause of Buoh small entry lists and now that a lesson has been taught it is to be hoped that the right parties will profit by it. CLUB JOTTINGS. Next week we will review the exhibition of the Olympic Club which was held at the Grand Opera House on Wednes- day evening. The membership of the California Club is rapidly falling off and nothing short of a fight between Sullivan and Jack- son or McAuliffe and some one else will stop the resigna- tions from being handed in. As the University Athletic Club will not be represented at Sacramento the fight will be between the Alpine and Olympio Clubs. The latrer club should make a much better showing than it did at the championship meeting. Unless the clubs begin to offer further inducements to the athletes, oarsmen and wheelmen, it is probable that after this month the amateurs will again fall into a comatose condi- tion. THE WHEELMEN. Ives, Morgan or Lee? Which will win the road race? ■ The list of entries is closed and we give the handicap as follows: J Gordan, 5 min; W TLee, lmin; O F Morgan, scratch; F Harris, scratch; J F Brown, 4 min; F I) McCord, 6 min; O L Pickard. 6 min; A Marshall, 3 min; J F Ives. 1 min; W Hub- bard, 8 min; F Brown, S min; H R Williams, 8 min; G P Wetmore, 31 min; H Smith, 4 min; R E Dow, 3 min; F Lard- er, 4 min; Oscar Osen, 4 min; R W Turner, 3 min; H A Pogue, 3 min; AI Revett, . The race will be started at eight minutes to ten so that the scratch men will start at 10 o'clock sharp. Tbe rules regarding the starting are that if a man is not ready to leave when his name is called he will have to leave with the next batch. No one will be allowed to start alone. J. F. Brown was looked upon as one of the probable win* ners but as he hurt himself badly while going over the course on Sunday he will not start. He received a very bad fall and out his chin, besides sustaining other injuries. Steve Knapp, W. M. Meeker. George P. Wetmore and C. W. Hammer all of the B. C. W. accompanied W. S. Doane of Boston to San Mateo on Sunday last. During the day tha University at Palo Alta, Searsville, Hansonville, and other places of interest were visited. The riders name home by the CoaBt road. Mr. Doane is the fifty and one hundred mile amateur champion of America and not long ago he made a new record by riding from Denver to Boston. He intended competing in the coming road race but was suddenly called away on business on Tuesday. F. E. Weaver the great Eastern man paid a visit to the clnb rooms of the Bay City wheelmen on Tuesday evening. It is quite surprising what an interest is being taken iu the road race. The Bay City boys may be thanked for help- ing to boom matters in the Cycling world at the present time. The members of the Alameda Bicycle Club have rented a bus to take their sisters and their cousins and their aunts up to San Leandro on the day of the race. The bus will slart from cor. Park and Central Avenue. Good boys! It is said that Ives will not accept his handic9p but will start from scratch'. His club mates are ready to bet their last cent that he will win first place. The course is that known as the San Leandro triangle and is as follows: Commencing on ban Lorenzo Avenue, at the Estudillo House thence to San Lorenzo, through San Lorenzo to Haywards Avenue, thence returning to the start- ing point. The oourBe is eight and one-third miles and it will take three lapB to make tne required distance. Julius Smith, of San Jose, is keeping very quiet but he will be in it all the same at tbe finish. O. F.Morgan, the English rider, is another probable win- ner and his past reoords prove him to be a rider of no mean ability. J. Phil Percival, of the Lob Angeles Wheelman, and vice- Consulofthe Cal Division L. A. W., has returned from Aa&tralia. In company with Mr. Little also of the L. A. W., he paid a visit to the club rooms of the B. C. W., on Monday evening. The medals for first place and first time in the road race will he the 6ame as the medals given at the championship meet which was held at San Jose. It is claimed that only about four men are doing all the talking about the separation of the Southern Wheelmen from the California division L. A. W. The local men don't seem to care whether the separation takes place or not, but they object to so much talk and so little work. The Bay City Wheelmen are discussing the next raoe meet. Such a club deserves encouragement, and the rapidly in- creasing membership denotes how popular it is growing. Harry Potter, CharleB M. Culver, Walter Fisk, Kook, Brown, all of the Alameda B. C, accepted an invitation from Mrs. Wate of San Leandro to be present at a party giv- en by her on last Saturday nigh*. They had an enjoyable time. Charley Culver ate so much ioe cream that it took nim from 2 o'clock Sunday morning until 7 o'clock Sunday night to ride home, a distance of eight miles. The Art of Shooting.

I/ates Claimed. OALXFOBNIA STATE FAJB, SlCBAMENTO Sept. 8th to 20th OREGON' .- roc and Sir Archy such types of horses as the average Australian horse of to-day. The most natural inference, therefore, is that constant in-breeding has improved the quality of our thoroughbreds, and, at the same time, de- teriorated their substance. Peel has three crosses of Lex- ington, two of Glencoe and about twelve of Sir Archy. Jennie Treacy had three crosses of Lexington and fifteen crosses of Diomed, the sire of Sir Archy, having two of American Eclipse who was by Duroc. At the sale of Mr. Haggin's yearlings, in 18S9, was sold a chestnut filly by Warwick, out of Eliza by Norfolk, which had four crosses of Lexington, through Minnie Minor, Norfolk Woodburn and Lucy Wade. Is it any wonder, then, that the shrewd and far- seeing Master of Del Paso should haye foreseen the outcome and imported both Darebin and Sir Modred as vigorous and desirable outcrosses? The recent visit of a well known turf writer to the Australasian colonies showed him some curious facts. He found Neckersgat a coarse horse, whose sons were very plain in appearance while his daughters were al- most unequalled in quality. St. Alban's sons were very heavy and almost coarse, while his daughters were so finely spun that he had to examine and measure eleven of them below the knees before he could find one that suited him as a broodmare; and, much to his regret, this choicely bred and high formed filly (Heiress) died on the passage hither from Sydney. The only families that he found in which good bone was evenly transmitted by the sire into both sexes were those of Chester, Roodee. Hastings, Forest King, Wellington, Goldsbrough, Tat- tendon, Newminster, Epigram, and, last and best of all, Musket. The Drummer reverses the conditions of Neckersgat and St. Albans, for his sons are fine to the verge of deli- cacy, while most of his daughters are heavily boned with coarse heads and lopped ears. The handsomest horse stripped for a race on any Australian course in the past six years was Chicago, now in England, and yet he wag manifestly far below all such contemporary horses as Abercorn, Mentor, The Australian Peer, L^chiel, Mata- dor, Malnu and Carlyon in the cardiual requisite of bone. Ou the other hand, Recall by the same sire, out of a very weedy sort of mare, bad forelegs like iron pil- lars, and was one of the best steeplechasers in the colo- nies in 1888-89. But Recall was an exception to the male line of The Drummer. Maribyrnong, while far from being the beat of Fisher, man's sons on the turf, was by long odds the best of his get as a sire. He got winners from all sorts and condi- tions of mares, while his handsomer and speedier brother, Ferryman, was a total failure in the stud. To his sons Maribyrnong transmitted such legs and feet as are sel- dom seen in any country, but his daughters were eith. er very light below the knen or had unusually long forward cannon-bones. Yet they bred well to all Bires, more especially to the none of Yattendon. It would be difficult to find seven horses from any one sire with such legs as are under Martindale, Forest King. Bargo, Wy- combe, Segenhoe, Richmond aud Horatio, but Iolanthe, and The Orphan were exceptions to the rule of his daughters. Limestone is the chief factor in the Australian thor. oughbred's composition, as a belt of that mineral ex- tends parallel to the south coast for nearly twelve hun- dred miles. True, we have limestone in Kentucky, but Australia's advantage over "thedark and bloody ground" lies in the fact that she has avoided close inbreeding; and she has milder winters. Before ten more years have passed, Kentucky will replenish her paddocks from the land of the Kangaroo. Our Australian Letter- Sydney, New South Wales, Aug. 6, 1890. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— Jupiter Pluvins has treated Australian sportsmen very scurvily this season as may be judged from the faot that in Sydney it has rained for over thirty consecutive Saturdays, and the rain gauge shows a greater fall of rain for the present year than was ever be- fore registered during a similar period. Walter Higinbotham, the Victorian trainer, who has in charge the mighty carbine and the 4,600 guinea three-year-old gelding Titan, thinks of bringing his charges to Randwick on aeeonnt of the rain, but it strikes me in crossing the border he will be going from the proverbial "frying-pan into the fire." Death has this yeai been busy among the Australian breeders of thoroughbred stock, no less then three of the principal having gone tbe way of all fleBh. First Andrew Town, then James White and on Sunday last \V. J. Dangar passed away. Mr. Dangers* breeding establishment is situated at Neotsfield, near Sirgle- ton, N. S. Wales, and in addition to his success as a rearer of blood stock, he was very successful as a breeder of Suffolks and pedigree cattle. Mr. Dangar's name may be strange to people outside Australia as be was more of a breeder than racer of horses, and wilh the exception of his win of the Victoria Racing Club Oaks with Venlia in 1884, his name does not appear on the list of winners of the "classic races.*' Any number of tip-top performers were foaled at Neots- field, however, and Bhould the stud be now broken up, you Yankees might pick up something good with such stallions to choose from as Goldsbrough, Hawthorden, Webome Jack and Malta. The fame of the Hon. James White as a breeder and racer has gone across the seas, as well it might, his horses having won 253 races of a monetary value of £125,00(), big money out here although it may pale alongside the makings of your champions, the Dwyer Bros. In seven Beasons the crack Jockey, Tom Hales, rode 137 winners oat of 302 mouDts for Mr. White, Hales is a martyr ".to asthma, and had it not been for his complaint, it is Dot altogether off the cards that he might have gone home [for the mount on Kirkham, in which connection I may state that a very knowing Australian horseman who was in England at the time the Derby was run informed me that he really believes had Kirkam been trained as we train iu Australia he must have gone very close to winning, but the horse, who comes of rather a gross family was fully a hundred weight above himself, and in place of the long canters they give them in England, he wanted some of the clothing sweats we treat them to out here. Anyway, win or lose, I will never believe a horse of Kirkham's ante- cedents in condition, would finish last in any field, with his tongue hanging out, as the English press so loved to draw the picture of his defeat. Since I last wrote a horse died, who, had he survived, might have added (o the fame of your Darebin. His name was West Lynn, by Darebin from Pastille, aud he wan owned by a blind sport -mm named West, who despite his affliction takes a keen interest in horse racing and very often has a good thing to trot out. Oui of the 149 entries for the Melbourne Cup but 18 hive crieed a go upon declaration of first forfeit. Such a satisfactory state of affairs may be attributed in a great measure to the big "sweeps" which are brought off in connection with tbe Cup, as lucky drawers of horses usually lay the owners qo much to nothing, and a regular system of blackmail is carried on by unscrupulous owners who refuse to start their horses unless they are laid the majority of the plunder. Last year George Adams had on tbe Melbourne Cap a £50,000 a £10,000, and a oouple of £2,000 sweeps, out of which he drew as commission the tidy sum of £9,000, and in addition to Adams there are other lesser sweeps on the event, so that the £10,000 stakes will not be the only money the luoky winner of our premier event may pocket. The great Metnpolitan stakes, the principal handicap at the spring meeting of the Australian Jockey Club, is this year a miserable failure. In past years the Metropolitan took an equine giant to carry it off— Sir Modred won in 1S84— but this year pride of place is held by Sir Modred's son Sir Will- iam, who stands tenth on the Melbourne Cup weights, Sst. 111b., and eveu at that is considered to have been badly treated and altogether weighted out of the race. Then come Marvel, Prince Consort, The Racer, Leopold Lyndhurst and Antaeus, and of the thirty-nine remaining there is not a raoe horse in the crowd. It does not take long to explain tbe reason of this. The Melbourne Cup is for £10000, whilst the Metropolitan, although run under tbe auspices of a very wealthy rJub, is for £1,000 only, and as the Australian Jockey Club are short sighted enough to run the Metropoli- tan before the Melbourne Cap, owners will not send their horses for the first race as the winner of the Metropolitan in- curs a penalty of 141bs. for tbe Cup. However, out of evil may come good, and after this year's failure the committee of the premier Jockey Club of New South Wales must see the necessity for an immediate and severe alteration in the con- ditions of what has hitherto been the big Handicap of New South Wales. 1890 ay 1UCUO onghbr»dby Yanderbilt, by Norfolk.

The probable starters will be Susie S., Kittie Ham, T. I C. and Antelope. Manager, the fast two year old pacer has again reduced his record, this time making a mark of 2:16t at Independenca. This is the fastest mile at either trotting or pacing ever ac complished by such a young horse. Prince Warwick, from which much was expected by the Hickok Stable. U reported to be onder the weather. Al* though, as is well known, that be can easily show a mile in 2:18, the horse has not won a heat this year. In publishing the report of the San Jose meeting a typo- graphical error caused us to gi\e Baywood a record of 2:37 when it should have been 2:33. It is fully expected that this borse will enter the list before many weeks have The Poodle Dog Restarant has a reputation second to none in the country for the manner in which meals are served at that popular place. During the coming holidays and while the City is full of strangers, it is probable that the well known caterer Mr. Einselen will have his hands full. The old California favorite, Conde, by Abbottsford, bobs up serenely every little while, and surprises the betting talent on the Montana circuit. Last week while selling in the auc- tions for buttons againBt dollars, he managed to pull off three straight heats, defeating Manning who was a very pro- nouuoed favorite. As will be Been by the advertising columns, the Svlvia Park Stud is to be sold out, and there will pass under the hammer one of the choicest collections of thoroughbred stallions and mares that ever gracbd any breeding establish- ment. Owing to a pressure on our colomn this week, at- tention iB simply called to the advertisement, but next week we will review the book and let our readers know exactly what is to be offered for sale. Thomas J. Clay, the owner of several Kentucky horseB, commenced snit in the United States Court last week against the Washington Park Club to recover $11,155. Mr. Clay is the owner of Balgowan, the animal that won the Hyda Park Stakes Jnly 17 last, and now Mr. Clay makes the oharge that the club has refused to pay him the amount, although the racing stewards had approved the action of the judges in de- ciding the race in Balgowan *s favor. Hirsch, Kahn «fe Co. notify the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman this week, that they have received another consignment of Bell Odometers. This is one of the bandi- est contrivances ever placed upon the San Francisco mar- ket, and there is no one who owns a horse but should have one of these machines attached to the wheels of their vehi- cle, so that the distance traveled can be accurately registered. As eaoh mile is completed a tiny bell strikes, notifying the driver that another mile has been finished.

Sport- ing goods of all kinds can be secured at Will & Finck'B who tell our readers this week through an advertisement that they will send one of their mammoth catalogues free, to all who may make application for same. During the week I bad the pleasure of taking a good loot at the old broodmare Lena Bowles, owned by Capt Ben E. Harris, of tbis citv. and must confess that phe looks as well as ever she did. Without being ableltojsiy how she may stand when the dpcisions are given this week at the Oakland Fair, still, if my mind serves me aright, she has .been exhibited at many fairs for twenty years, and has never been defeated yet. In looks, she is a typical broodmare, and it is a great pity that there are not many more like her in this State. The celebrated New Zealand Cup horse, Lochiel.is reported as having been sold to Tom Hales, famous as the former rider of Abercorn, Carlyon and Cranbrook. Those who know the history of the handsome brown stallion, sav that he was lame mouths before his sale to Mr. Hales in Febrnnry last. Mr Barney Allen was a nominal purchaser, but Mr. Hales check was the one on which Mr. Stead got the money. The horse bas paid for himself on ante-post betting before he was scratched, probably half a dozen times over. Barney Allen Knew just how to work that end of the string. Mr. James Gillis of Pleasanton is an old gentleman well known to many of the turf frequenters, as his face has hepn familiar on many tracks. Two weeks ago to-day Mr. Gillis was exercising one of his horses on the Salisbury track, says the PWsanton Times, when the horse took fright and threw the old gentleman over the front of the cart where he fell in such a manner as to get one of his legs tangled up in a wheel of the vehicle. He wa« dragged about an eighth a mile be- fore the horse was caught receiving many bruifles about the body and several severe cuts of the scalp. At last report he was doing well. One of the pecnliar traits of those who are connected with the Associated Press was brought before the public on Sun- day and Monday last, when the telegram was published in all of the Sin Francisco dailies, stating that Roy Wilkes had paced a mile in 2.08£, and that Alabaster had trotte-1 a heat in 2:15; still not a word was mentioned about Margaret S., who on Saturdav and at the same place, Independence, Iowa, trotted a mile in 2:12i, and Cricket, who paced a mile in 2:10. I wonder if it is possible that the Eastern correspon- dents are so affected with sectional jealousy that their minds have become biased, and they hate to mention the names of Californian horses. From those who were present at the Chico Fair we loam that the stubbornly contested fight between Vic H. and Frank M. was worth traveling a long distance to see. Well, that is onlv natural, for when five heats are put in in 2:19, 2:'8. 2:19£. 2:18 and 2:20*, and all of them in close finishes, it goes without saying that the spectators were treated to a horse raoe. Fraok M. showed himself to be a dead game borse, and yet with it all Vie H. has proved that in the old "Black Bird stock there is plenty of stamina and sDeed. Mr. Keating was so highly elatel at his victory that last Satur- day evening ho invi ed a large party of friends to a wine supper at the Park Hotel, Chico, and a very pleasant time H Capt. Ben Harris is out a wine supper but is in a hundred dollars, consequently is a litt!* winner. It came about in this way: the Captain fancies that he has one of the hand- somest weating colts in the State, and on bragging abont it was quickly taken up by Mr. Murphy, part owner of Red- wood, who thought he knew where there was one that could show no superior to the Harris oolt. A wager was made and at Petalama the colts were shown; three judges being appointed who did not know either of the colts. After a critical examination th^y decided unanimously in favor of Capt. Harris but then Mr. Marphy bad the satisfaction of knowing that the winnar was also sired bv Redwood. It is a very handsome oolt and it is no wonder that the Captain is so proud of him. Last year a colored man in Fayette county, Ky., bought a blind stallion colt for $60. He used him this season as a teaser for a jack. A few weeks ago several gentlemen were at the farm on which this blind horse was quartered. He being quite a shapely fellow a discussion as to his probable gang qualities was begun. Some contended that he was built for a trotter, while others claimed that be was nothing but a "dunghill." One of the gentlemen told the negro he would give him fifty cents to drive him around the training track. Accordingly the horse was hitched to a heavy road-cart and, with his owner behind him, went a mile in 2:50, finishing as easily as a well trained horse could have done. This of course astonished the spectators, and one of them bought the horse for $165. He is now in training, and his new owner thinks he will have a 2:25 performer before the snow flies. — Kentucky Stock Farm. VETERINARY. Conducted by Wm. F. Egan, M. R, O. V. 3., F. E. V. M. S.

Now 1 1 want to get a nice double team docked, if there is not too much risk in it. Answer. — There is a little danger connected with it, as J tetanus (lockjaw) sometimes follow the operation. I have! docked a great number, and in no case did it cause the death E of the animal. Get a qualified veterinary surgeon to operate I. and attend to it, and the risk will be very small. It was a very fortunate thing that some of the hostlers were around the stableB last Saturday night at Palo Alto as it was only by their vigilance that a very disastrous b're was prevented. As it was the loss was quite an extensive one. It seems that flames were detectea coming from one of the main barns, where a large quantity of straw had been packed away; the barn had been filled and then sealed up as the straw would not be required ontil nest winter. By the light of the names two men were seen running away, but the dan- ger wan so great that those who saw the men hastened to at- tempt to put the fire out and did not pursue them. "When those who work in and around the stables got out the fire hose they found a big knot tied in the middle of it, which had probably been done by the incendiaries so as to make it useless. Owing to the efforts of the men, the tire was con- fined to the barns. The loss is about $7,000. From far off Australia comas word that our erstwhile cor- respondent, C. Bruce Lowe, has gone out of the stock com- mission business, his well known place having been pur- chased by E. A. Thompson. Mr. Lowe has been in the business for many years and is esteemed very highly by all Americans who have had any dealings with him. and although Mr. Thompson is a stranger to us. there is no doubt but what the business will be conducted as honorably in the future as it has been in the past. Mr. Thompson sends an advertisement to the readers of the Breeder axd Sportsman notifying them that he has for pale the black stallion Idalium by Tradncer, out of Idalia by Cambuscan. As will be seen, this horse is a full brother to the now celebrated Sir Mod- red, and should be a valuable acquisition to any of the great .breeding farms of America. One of the best two-year-olds that was seen on the North- ern circuit had been entered at the willows by L. H. Mcin- tosh of Chico. On making his appearance at Red Bluff, Mr. Helman of Humboldt County became satisfied that the youngster had any quantity of speed, and entered into nego- tiations at once with hie owner, looking toward a purchase. After considerable dickering backwards and forwards, Mr. Helman purchased the colt from Mr. Mcintosh for $2500, with the understanding that the late owner should have him start at Chico. He was fleet enough to distance his compet- itors in 2:34f, which is far above the average time for a colt of his age. Wayland W. is by Arthur Wilkes, dam Letta by Wayland Forest; 2nd dam Mary, (dam of Apex 2:26) by Flax- tail. This exquisitely bred colt will be taken to Mendocino County, and will tend greatly to increase the interest now felt in trotting horses in that section. It may not be out of place to state here that Wayland W. is a half brother to Maud SiDgleton, now being campaigned in Montana, There is a vast difference in the appearance of Washington Fark and its surroundings at the present time and that which obtained when the runners and their trainers were in posses- sion, Bays the Chicago Evening News. A running stable has for inseparable adjuncts a lot of small Africans not overly clean hnd a white man, generally gaunt of figure, slouchy of drees and redolent of corn-juice whisky. The outfit invari- ably does its own cooking, the menu ordinarily consisting of fried bacon and lake water, and in general their life has a distinctly gypsy tinge. The attendants of the trotters are a different class. The trainer and driver of each stable is a nattily-dressed man, the stalls of the horses are adorned with handsome blankets, the harness and sulkies are scoured, washed and rubbed to the highest point of cleanliness, and even the straw that forms the carpet of the stalls is fre- quently pleated in an artistic manner around the edge that faces the door of the stall. The very buckets out of whioh the animals drink are painted in bright colors, the name of the horse to which eaoh one belongs being inscribed thereon, and the same iB true of the other utensils used in caring for the trotters. The ground between the rows of stalls is kept scrupulously clean by frequent application of brooms, and on the Bnnny side of the stulls will be found awnings, under which the men sit and gossip after the work of the day is over. There is no smell of cooking food, for the humblest "swipe," as the grooms of trotters are called, would disdain to live in the catoh-as catoh-can style that characterizes the life of those who look after the runners. CleanlineBB and good cheer is the motto of those who have to do with the trotters. One reason for tbis is that the drivers are almost without exception men of fair education, of thrifty habits, and it is no part of their idea of exigence to live like Bedou- ins. Then, again, the trotters are for the most part owned by rich men, who are well aware when they invest in a 2:20 flyer that it is a lucky horse that pays expenses, whereas the runners are mostly gambling tools. C. H. My horse has been lame for over a year in his right forward I leg. There is a hard lump round the pastern joint which 1 1 believe is a ringbone. I got this fired and blistered when I j first noticed the lameness, but it appeared to do no good. About sis months ago I again had it fired with the samel result. I blistered it twice since, but nothing appears to do fi it any good. The joint does not appear stiff, but he always j goes lame when worked. Answer, — "Neurotomy" is about the thing that will give i bim relief. This removes the sensation from the foot, and l| consequently the lameness also, but not the disease. After jl the operation yon must be more careful with his shoeing, as | if he gets pricked he will not show lameness immediately I and matter mav work its way to the top of the hoof before II yon notice it. For the same reason you must examine bis I feet every evening after work for fear of picking up nails, I etc. C. L. My horse got hurt in the baok about three years ago. since I then he is weak in it, and cannot well back with a load. He is now about twelve years old, and he is almost useless fori work. Is there anything can be done for it. Answer. — Firing and blistering may strengthen it a little, 1 but he will never be much good again. H. K. My horse picked np a nail about a month ago near the J point of the frog. I poulticed it for about three weeks but ne is still lame. The horse shoer says that it is a bad place and that he will never be fit for work again. Could you ad- 1 vise me what is best to do? Answer.— Such cases often eet all right after a long rest. I should advise you to let him have a run to pasture for two or j three months. T. C. "When has a horse a full mouth ? I have a colt that I know to be only four years old last June, and he has now a full mouth and the corner teeth are level with the others. How can you account for that? Answer — A horse generally cast t ie corner teeth at about, four and a half years and has a full mouth at five years. Colts sometimes vary a little in the time of easting their teeth. Stallions and geldings that are fed well generally mature quicker, and cast the teeth earlier. The climate has also something to do with it. Maryaville Races. The first day of the Maryaville laces was heralded in with exquisite weather, not nearly so warm as it usually is at tbis season of the year. The attendance was only fair; the track waB in good condition. The first race of the day was for the three-minute class, the entries being Frank M., Vidette, Balance All and Billy Doty. Frank M. after his marvelous race at Chico was given first money and allowed to stand in the stable, so those who endeavored to manipulate the pool box were content with backing Vidette heavily at $10, the other pair selling as a field for $3. "When the word was gipen Balance All imme diately went to the front and led around the first turn being two lengths in advance at the quarter pole. Up the baok stretch Bhe Btill^ maintained her lead, Vidette being seaond with Doty third. On the upper turn Balance All broke and Vidette took a commanding lead, winning the heat in a jog. Balance All second, Doty just inside the distance. Time, 2:42. No pools were sold before the second heat as it was a fore- gone conclusion that Vidette could not lose On the word being given for this heat, Vidette was soon several lengths in advance of the others and was never headed, there being no conteBt whatever; as before Balance All was second with Doty third. Time. 2:46- The third heat was simply a repetition of the second, Vi- dette winning in a jog, Balance All second; Doty third. Time 2:49 J. The second race was for the '*bang tails" three-quarters of a mile and repeat, and proved to be the best race of the day. Leatherwood, the favorite won after a hard fight with Mo- hawk- The entries were in addition to the two mentioned, Lucky Dan and Oakdale. Leatherwood sold as choice at $10 the others bringing $5 as a field. The start was a good one, Leatherwood and Lucky Dan at once went to the front and made the ruuning, tbe other two apparently not in it. Dennison rode hard on Lucky Dan but Leatherwood proved the viotor, winning tbe heat by half a length, Mohawk and Oakdale last. Time, 1 :17§. Pools now sold, Leatherwood $20. field $5. The starter let them off at tbe first attempt, where as before Lucky DaD and Leatherwood at once took the lead with Mohawk close np, when well into the stretch Mohawk came along with a rush on the outside and won the beat bv the shortest of neoka from Lucky Dan, he beating tbe favorite by about the same distance; Oakdale distanced. Time, 1:17£. Leatherwood was still tbe choice in the betting, bringing $10 to $8 for Mohawk. This heat was close and very excit- ing; after four attempts they got away on even terms. It was a tight from start to finish, there never being more than a half length's difference between the pair; Leatherwood ultimately won by a neok only. Time, 1:18. The last raoe of tbe day was a special five-eighths of a mile, the starters being Power, Joker. Lucky Dan, Mo- hawk and It. H. Power was a hot favorite, bringing $20 to $6 and $7 for tbe Geld. On the fourth attempt the flag fell and they raced in pairs, Power and Joker in front, near tbe hundred yard pole, Joker, ridden by Leonard, drew away from Powor and won by a length; Mohawk third, Lucky Dan Last.

The live stock parade in the morning was very pooriy at- tended but in the afternoon a fairly representative gathering of horsemen were to be found on the grounds. Four races were hung up for the gallopers, the first a five furlong scramble for two year olds was delayed for an hour by the fractiousness of the Boot's colt Duke of llilpitas, who refused to join the field, and when the nag was dropped he was about tired out and had as he deserved the worst of the start. The winner turned up in a racy looking bay colt by Flood from imported Queen Hess by Strathconan who had the race won all the way. The second race was expected to be a good thing, for Ap- nlause who won easily in straight heatB bnt the start in the first heat settled three of the horses. The third race was Bupposed by the talent to lie between the two mareB Carmen and Daisy D but the Rose cast off Tycoon was turned out in the pink of condition by Brock Heffernan and though he had to be ridden vigorously all the way he fairly wore Car- men down in the stretch winning the best race in his life through sheer gameness by a length in 1:42. A gamer race was never seen for the mareB both had too much pace for the gelding all the way. Tbe last race a four and a halt fur- long scramble waB thought to be a certainty for the old sprinter, Lida Ferguson but after a remarkably close finish the Judges called it a dead heat though most of the spectators thought the mare won, in fact Henrv "Walsh, John Gold- smith, and others who were under the vriieiohere the judges stand should be said Ferguson 1st, the other pair a dead heat for second. On the run off Kildare won cleverly by three- quarters of a length in exactly the same time as the first heat. First race, five furlong?, for two year-olds, brought ont seven youngsters, and on the strength of his victories at Petaluma and lone, Dnke of Milpitas, was made a hot favor" ite, selling for $25 to $10 for the Palo Alto entry Nero and $15 for the re6t as a field. It was a quarter past two when the starter got the colte to the post, and a start wbb not arrived at until a quarter past three. The first breakaway Nero ran half way round the turn, while Milpitas refused to leave the post, then breaking away he refused to return, and Wilson got off and attempted to lead him, but the oolt got loose and galloped round the turn before he was caught, and when remounted, put his head down and cantered round to the three-quarter pole, and refused to leave it, eventually he was persuaded to canter up to the field, and Coombs dropped his flag with him three lengths behind, the others fairly well together, the front rank consisting of Alius, Acclaim and Nero, and Mystery at the head of the rest. Nero went to the front at once, passing the half with Acclaim at his girths and Altus a length behind. Round the turn Nero increased his lead to two open lengths, and going on won easily by font lengths; Mystery, who came with a rush in the stretch, got third place, a length behind Acclaim, with Altus fourth, while Duke of Milpitas finished well up fifth- Time, 1;0U.

At about twenty minutes past five a start was effected, Daisy D, Carmen and Tycoon getting a shade the best of it; round the turn Carmen shot out a length in front of Tycoon, who was vigorously ridden a length in front of Daisy, with Muta a length further baok; under the whip all the way Tycoon hung on to Carmen up the backstretch and round the upper turn, and catching it hot in the Btretch the gelding gamely answered every call and beat Carmen out after a puniBhing race, by a length and a half, with Daisy D two lengths further back, and Captain Al well up fourth, and Four Aces, who broke a blood vessel, a bad last.

The Marshall officiated as Btarter instead of Coombs, and dropped his flag to a fairly good start, Ida Glenn and Ferguson having a shade the best of it and break- ing away like quarter horses, passed the half mile post with Glenn half a length in front of FergUBon, two lengths in front of Gambo, with Kildare at hie girths. Ferguson showed a little in front on the turn, having about half a length the best of Glenn, with Vinco two lengths behind and Kildare japped on to him. The mares ran locked together down the stretch and seemed to have the race to themselves, when Kildare came with a rush on the outside in the last hundred yards and just got up, making what looked almost a dead heat all round.

Dalton_ Timers, Christopher Green and Dr. Lathom. A fairly good crowd turned out to Bee the four races trotted on the fourth day of the Golden Gate Fair. However, it turned out that only three races were attempted and only two of those finished; the two-year-old Wilkes filly Vida Wilkes who last week readily obtained a record of 2:28& at Petaluma frightened all her opponents away and the race had to be declared off. The first race of the day was for three-year-olds and Lyuette justified the confidence placed in her by the talent by winning in straight beats in easy style. She is a racy looking filly and wears hopples to pre- vent her mixing her gait; she has now won 5 straight races, the first a yearling stake at lone, the second at Sacramento as a two-year-old, in the spring of 1889, the third in the fall of 1SS9 at Sacramento, the fourth last Monday at Oakland, when she obtained a record of 2:30, and the fifth to-day when 2:32£ was the best she had to do. Ihe second race proved an easy victory for Lady well by Electioneer out of Lady Lowell; the mare who obtained a record of 2:26 at Napa a fortnight ago, did not have to go any better than 2:27$. She is a rapid moving pretty little mare and will go much faster before tbe year is out. The I-ist race, which had to be postponed, introduced a new 2:30 performer in Lena H, who won the first heat in 2:29£. She is a seven year old|daughter of Rancho Del Paso's Alaska (Electioneer— Luoy) and is the first 2:30 performer, in *act, is 1 believe his first daughter that has been trained. Her dam is Drew Girl by Winlhrop 505, grand dam by Mc Oracken'a Black Hawk 767. First heat. Pools sold readily at $50 for Lynette to $15 Langton and $8 for the field. The word wa6 given the sec- ond time, up with Langton half a length behind, Maudee on the inside led to the turn when Bhe broke and Lynette set the paoe passing the quarter a length in Jront of Langton, Maudee two lengths back with Jolly E)y at her wheel. Lyn- ette increased her advantage up the back Btretoh passing the half three lengths in front of Maudee and Langton with Jolly Boy a length and a half behind the filly at tbe head of the stretch with Jolly Boy and Maudee three lengthB back. Langton and Maudee got almost n p to Lyuette an eighth from home when Miudee broke and fell back last, while Langton and Lynette trotted together to tbe distance when he colt broke up and Lynette won by a length and a half, Langton second, five lengths from Jolly Boy, seven lengths *n front of Maudee.

We hear a good deal of this question of "specialism," and the criticisms passed on the so-called "specialist" are quite as often as not condemnatory. On the face of it one would be inclined to say at once that there can be nothing in Buch complaints says "J. A. D." in the English Kennel Gazette. Specialism, as it is called, is in truth nothing more than the division of labor. And aDy one would certainly sappose that a man would judge a particular breed better if he did not burden his mind with the study of breeds having nothing in common with that one. No man in his senses would deny that a man might be perfectly well fitted to judge a class of shorthorns and quite un6t to judge Channel Inland cattle. We should get some rather odd results if a jndge of Brahma fowls were turned on at Birmingham to award the prizes in the game classes; and so one might multiply instances ad in- finitum. Yet on the other hand vague discontent at a sys- tem generally has some element of truth underlyidg it. To entrust our shows to so-called "all round'" judges would be putting the clock back ten years. Still it is worth while to see whether "specialism" has not its dangers: if so, what they are and how they may be guarded against. Now to be- gin: there are breeds and breeds. There are breeds into which arbitrary points reckontd as merits by some accepted conven- tion among breedeis and exhibitors, but having no obvious effect either on the utility or beauty of the animal, enter. Now here the man who is not a specialist is obviously help- less. No amount of experience gained, say, among setters, vill teach a man whether a pog's head, or tail, or color is of the correct pattern. It seems to me, however, that this in it- self helps to illustrate the dangers which attend specialism, and which are present to the minds of those who denounce the specialist judge. There are many breeds where the most important points are those which plain common sense shows are needful to the working of the animal, and where conven- tion has established certain minor points as desirable. Take, for example, an Irish setter. He must have certain essential points of make and shape needful for pace and endurance. Be must also have a certain type of head and a certain shade of color as indications of purity of breed. Now these last are points where no knowledge derived from any other breed will help a judge. But in such points as shoulders, legs and feet, and the like, the wider the judge's experience tfie more equal will he be to the task of criticism. If a judge of hounds were to say "I really can't judge Eetters; there are several detailed points proper to that breed which I don't understand," I should say he showed his sense. But if he were to say "I know nothing about these dogs," I should be tempted to say then there is a good deal about your own business that you also don't know. And I should certainly admit this. If a man has by any misfortune to travel somewhat out of bis own province to judge a breed with which he is not thoroughly conversant, the man who does know three or four breeds will do better, or perhaps one should say fail less, than the man, who only knows one. On the other band, there is, as it terms to me, this over- whelming argument in favor of the specialist judge. A man can hardly have acquired the minute knowledge necessary for a jndge — the habit of patient and thoughtful comparison, except by breeding and keeping continuously the kind of dog that he professes to judge; and the man who has done this is, in nine cases on t of tec, a specialist. The man of many breeds is almost sure to be a man who may love dogs, but who loves winning prizes better; and of such, it seems to me. judges are not made. The man who really loves dogs for their own sake, to whom the task of comparison is really a labor of love, is almost sure to settle down — if he does not begin — with a special interest in a very limited number of breeds. Still he need not be absolutely and wholly a spec- ialist. It is an old description of education that it should be "something of everything and everything of something. * So I should say of the properly equipped critic of dogs. Only the "something of everything" will not be enough to enable him to judge with credit to himself or satisfaction to his neighbors. The dangers of specialist clubs are, it seems to me, the ■ame. There is no doubt a fear that they may tench exhib- itors to overrate what I have before called the arbitrary and conventional points of the breed. And there is yet afnrtber danger. It is the business of a specialist clab to be for its own breed the responsible department in the dog showiffg world, to protect the interests of the whole body of exhibitors in that breed. And thns anything in the nature of exclusive- ness is fatal. A club which professes to represent the whole body of exhibitors and really represents a section is worse than useless: it is mis-leading. And this, it appears to me, is a very strong argument against the policy of a club which refuses to accept any judge for his own breed who is Dot a member of the club. I know that I differ here from persons who speak with high authority. Certainly let a club draw up and revise a list of jndges; let it encourage shows to adopt that list and exhibitors to insist op it, But good judges may stand aloof from the club, possibly not from any per- sonal hostility to it, bat from a score of reasonsjwhich do not in the least affect their fitnesB for the post. A specialist club ought to aim at making every breeder and exhibitor, ev- en if he remains outside the club, into an ally. The question of restricting certain prizes to member* of the club seems to me to be on a wholly different basis. That is really a question of finance. If a club by so doing cau attract fresh members, aDd thereby increase its funds and conse- quently its utility, let it do so. If the promise of a prize limited to members brings subscriptions of an equal amoant the priza is self supporting, and those who ar6 not eligible for it are no worse off than they would be otherwiso. It is not a question whether there shall be a close prize or an open one, but whether there shall be a close prize or no prize at all. "Whatever may be the dangers or drawbacks of the system, it cannot be doubted that specialist clubs have doDe, and may do, great good to the breeds for which they exist. It is a great thing to keepjnp personal communication aDd exchange of ideas between breeders, to set a number of men working on what one may roughly call a co-operative system for the same object, so substitute a corporate interest in the whole breed for a merely individual interest in one's own kenneJ. Mr. Geo. Debenham's (San Francisco, Cal ) Yum Yum, fox-terrier bitch, whelped August 19, 1890, three dogs and one bitch, by J. B. Martin's Blemtoo Shiner (Champion Blemton Rubicon— Champion Blemton Brilliant). Mr. Walter M. Congreve residing at the Brool y i Hotel in this city lost an English setter four weeks ago and will thank fellow sportsmen to keep their eyes open for the dog. It was nine months old, well grown, a dog with black ears and spots, of good bu bstance, quick, excitable, and answers to the name "Dash." Mr. Eogene Cary, of Napa College, lost his valued setter l'Gip" on Tnesday last by poison. The dog was a general favorite. Thnrsday afternoon, after regular school hours at the College, the dog was buried in the campus. Mr. Geo. Katz- enstein made an address and spoke of the good traits and merits of the dog. Miss Curtis read a poem, and altogether the ceremonies were very impressive. A tomb-'one will be erected over the dog's grave, with a suitable inscription, all of which borders upon sacrilege. A letter from Mr. G. H. Grove of Sabrina House, Worces- ter, Worcestershire, Eng., to Mr. Henry Wormington of this city, mentions the horse which was ridden by Mr. Worming- ton during tbe fox hunting season on his recent visit to old England in such terms as to lead one to believe that our quiet fellow citizen was rather epeedy while away from home. Mr. Grove intimates that the San Franciscan was generally in at the death, and we can easily believe it to be so. Mr. Grove adds that the coming hunting season promises to be a rarely good one, foxes being plenty and stroDg. The letter con- cludes with such a hearty sportsmanly invitation to Mr. Wor- mington to go over to England as stamps the writer a genu- ine good companion and host. On Sunday last Mr. William Schrieber of this city received the appended note, the which if it had come to ns after an experience with dogs like friend Schrieber's would make us ejaculate some synonym for the word dam, or words to that effect. Mr. Allehder writes: WatcOnville,Aug. 29, 1890. "I am afraid that Nestor is dead. I say afraid, for I do not know positively. Night before last, while I had him out in the hills, he had two fits. After he came out of the first one, he seemed dazed for awhile and acted as if he was crazy. I started home with him, and got within a mile of the house when he was taken with another. I waited nntil he came out of it, and called him to follow me. He looked at me a moment as if he did not know me, and when I tried to put a cord on him to lead him to the house, he ran in the bushes. I hunted for him until dark, and next morning I got two neighbor boys, my own and myself and hunted all day yeBterday and to-day until noon, when I am writiDg this. The boys are out now. I will go to town and adver- tise in the papers and mail this letter. If he is alive I will find him, but I am afraid he has died in one of those tits, somewhere in tbe brush. I do not know what oanses it, but I think his brain is effected. I have had him out with the pups for the last three weeks, and never saw him have a tit before." Mr. A. B. Pearson writes of his litter of pointers by Hidal- go—Countess. Editor. Beeedee asd Sportsman : — Friend Merritt (the possessor of two of them) and I took them out on the mesa yesterday for their first run, and by chance ran into a little bunch of quail. (We didn't have our guns along). You should have seen those puppies. We just sat down and watched them hunt and beat the undergrowth nntil they were totally exhausted and brought them home more than satisfied that we had the finest pnps in California. The mother came from Croxteth one generation removed, so you can see she don't rank very far behind old Hidalgo. I have written to J. G. E. this mail concerning him. I wish you could run down this way this season and give us a call. Quail were never more plentiful than this season, and every valley is full of them. By the way, apropos of tbe Game Law, I saw quail yesterday that could hardly fly and a farmer friend reports that his little son brought home laBt week thirty-three quail eggs which he had found in nests. This would seem to indicate that October lBt in southern California, would be none to soon to open the season. In conversation with local sportsmen here, there seems to be a decided unanimity in the opinion that quail will laise three or more broods yearly. However, it seems to be an open question. We are on the eve of quite a pigeon Bhoot here of which more anon. Will give you result aDd look out fur a letter about the 10th. Hope I can make you a visit this winter. Have lots of friends in Frisco I haven't seen for thirteen years. The black and tan setter mentioned last week as haviDg been bought in Baltimore by Mr. Joe Orear, of Downieville, was not for himself but for Mr. Sunderhaus, of the Young Amerioa Mine, near Sierra City. We are glad Mr. Orear's loDg years Pf missionary wort io « doggy way are bearing fruit, THE GUK, Alameda vs. San Francisco. The Alameda County Sportsmen's Club is fairly elated over its victory agaiDst the San Francisco Gan Club od Sit- urday last at Oakland Trotting Park. The match wbb between teams of ten from each club, at 15 birds per man, A. S. A. rules, for the birds and a trophy worth one hundred dollars, the trophy to be wod best of three matches. The day was good, the birds during the early part of the match were particularly stroog and quick, and the scoreB were correspoDdiugly low. Later, they were only fair, and the shooting improved. The match was referred by Mr. H. C. Golcher, than whom no man could be more conscientious or desirous of beiog fair. He made one mistake, namely, that he tried to keep score, give tbe trap and referee, and sat at a table with gentlemen who were scoring. A referee should be in a position to be positive about all details of score shot, and in our opinion sbonld take position by the shooter and be in command, so that do man can oppose or question his decisions with any probability of being right. Mr. Gol- cher felt compelled to alter a decision, a delay which would not have occurred if he had been closely observiog tbe shooter, to the exclusion of all else. The match was remark- ably close, being a lie in tbe main, and the Alameda Club winning the tie in a shoot off at one bird per man by agree- ment. Messrs. Maynard and Norton, of the Alameda Club, killed 14 out of 15, and Mr". Wooster, cf the Gun Club, made a like Ecore. In the shoot-off all three killed their birds. In the Gun Club team, Mr. Jelleit, Mr. Butler and Captain Eddy fell far below their averages, partly by luck and partly by uncertainty and lingering. Of the otber team, Major Kellogg, one of the best of shots, scored but ten, while Mr. Oaborn. soother champion in usual form, got eleven. Mr. F. K. Webster and Mr. F. W. Tallant, shootiDg little twelves, did very beautiful first barrel work, centenDg their birds well. Mr. E. B. Woodward might as well have had 14 as 13 in the main, but lor a little carelessness in leaving the score without u=iog hisstcood barrel on a bird which was on its feet. Mr. Orr lost a bird, a strong blue rising tailer because he was a little petulant about the refusal of the referee to allow him a kill for the previous bird, because the referee thought it was on the ground. Mr. C B. Smith stood behind his L. C. Smith like a mountaiD, and lost both birds dead out of bounds. The Alameda Club, led by John Cadman, kept np a yelling when a nice Bhot was made by one of its men, that obviated the necessity for a fog-horn along the coast between Point Reyes and San Pedro. Tbe Gan Clnb had the match well in hand twice, but lost birds enough to even things. We do not recall a match of ten men a side, where a tie resulted. The match was pleasantly conducted, and perhaps two hundred spectators eojoyed it with the shooters. Mr. Jellett was captaio of the Gun Club team, Mr. A, F. Adams of the Alameda's. The score was: Team match at $5 birds per man, ten men a side, for birds and a hundred dollar trophy, A. S. A. rules, best two in three matches, won by the Alameda club team. Alameda Clue Team.

Mr. Joseph Delmas of that city sends the scores and in so doing remarks: As yon will see by the Bcore, the San Francisco attendance was small, which accounts for San Jose taking the medal.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — A very interesting match took place at Whatcom, Washington, on Aug. 23d, between Mr. Dell Cooper, holder of the Championship Trophy of tbe Northwest and Mr. J. O. Naltrass, of Clear- brook, Wash., at 100 Peoria blackbirds each man, 50 singles and 25 pairs, opponents pulling traps for each other. A large and enthusiastic crowd of sportsmen were present and much money changed hands on result of match. Mr. John E. Evans was referee and Mr. Tom AustiD, scorer. During progress of the shoot Mr. Cooper proved his wonder- ful nerve by making straight scores after having both barrels of his gun explode together, while shooting at doubles, three times in succession; at another rime while closing the gun the shells exploded. Mr. Nattrass handicapped himself by using a heavy, clum- sy gun which did not tit him and had a Bis pound trigger pull. He also had not shot at a composition target for over a year, his lack of practise showing in getting in second barrel on doubles, his gun being extreme choke he either totally obliterated his birds or missed tbem entirely. Cooper used a Parker 12 gnage at 16 and 14 vards; Nattrass a Smith at IS and 16 yards. Another match is talked of in the near future. THE SCORE. J. C.

Five members of the California Wing Shooting Clnb were unable to shoot during the past season. They were Austin B . Sperry, Dr. S. N. Cross both of Stockton and M. D . Bice, D, S. Regan and H. H. Briggs, of this city. Dr. S. N. Cross and Austin B. Sperry of Stockton drove out from that city on August 31st and bagged fourteen doves. Not bad for a party of two of which one is accustomed to Eu- liBh and continental root patcheB and stall-fed partridges and the like. A gcod clean pocket oil carrier is a sine qua non to all users of guns, reels and otber metal instruments, such as bicycles. The "Perfect" oiler advertised in another column, by Messrs. Cushman & Dennison, 172 Ninth avenue, New York City, seems unexceptionable in every respect. It iB of handy size, has no leakage, economizes oil and is neat in ap- pearance. ♦ The General Land Office has issued the subjoined notice which should be heeded by campers, sportsmen and all others whose necessities or inclination leads them to build tires upon publio lands: "Tbe attention of the public is called to the fact that large quantities of timber are annually destroyed by forest fires, which in many cases originated through the carelessness of hunting, proBpecting and other camping parties, while in some cases they may occur through design. I take this method of warning all persons that, hereafter, the cause aDd origin of all summer tires will he closely investigated, and where the lire is ascertained to have originated through either carelessness or design, tbe parlies implicated will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Special timber agents are hereby directed to proceed against tbe offenders under the local laws of the State and Territories, relating to the unlawful setting of fires, in wbioh the same may ocour. The public generally are requested to aid the officers of the government in its effort to cheok the evil referred to, and in the punishment of all offenders. ♦ The trout of Upper Kern River are desoribed as being beautiful golden trout, pale amber in color, darkening towards tbe sides, until it becomes a greenish black on the back. A thick vermillion stripe runs along each side of the fish immediately in the centre, whilst they are devoid of spots along the body until within a short space from the tail, when they commence, whilst on the belly, between the upper and the lower fins a thick stripe of deep amber completes the dreBS enit of the lovliest and most tasty fish it is ever ones good fortune to hook. ROD. From Mr. Callundan. The Board of Fish Commissioners was to have met on< Tuesday last, but the meeting was unavoidably postponed. Being favored with a copy of the report of the Chief of Fa-i trol for August, that is presented as follows: "But little more than a resume of routine work is be reported for the month of August. The usual super-r vision of the city markets and of the wharves has been main- tained by Inspector Ennis and myself, and it is a pleasure to be able' to report that the fishermen have come quite to an appreciation of the purposes of your Honorable Board,] and instead of remaining iu opposition to your orders are in-i clined to side actively with your Deputies iu enforcing the law. From time to time stateineula have been made in the daily press to the effect that hides from which evidence of sex had been removed were being received at Bhort intervals* by San Francisco Commission men, hide merchants and tan* neries. Each statement of the sort has been investigated pa- tiently and proved to be erroneoas. The Commission men of the city without an exception, in so far as is known, are allied with the Board in enforcing the deer skin law. On August 10th and 12th a visit was made to Vallejo and the members of the Fishermen's Union in that vicinity for tbe purpose of impressing upon tbe salmon fishermen the necessity for observing September as a close month. The assurances of the officers of the Union and the fishermen warrant the belief that no illegal fishing will be done from that point during the coming month. Many boats were found which had not taken out licenses. On August 14th and succeeding days, the Russian River was traversed from a point a little above Ukiah to Cloverdale, about thirty mileB. The visit was made in company with Inspector Ennis, and a number of Indian fish traps were de- stroyed and removed. No Indians were detected in the act of removing 6sh from the traps nor could any be found who would admit ownership of the fish dams and traps, and con- sequently no arrests could be made, bot several rancherias were called upon, and the Indians gathered at each were in- formed as to the law and warned in the plainest terms against continuing their illegal practices. With characteristic guile- lesBnesB they disclaimed all knowledge of the fish traps and insisted that they were enthusiastic in support of the law; their statements were received with a grain of salt. All along the Russian River young quails were found in the greatest abundance. On August 20th, Santa Cruz and its suburbs, Soquel and Aptos were visited . At Santa Cruz it was found that the Gas Works of the city were depositing refuse in the San Lo- renzo. A warning to the officers was sufficient to elicit the statement that they would refrain in future from such a vio- lation of the law. Several boats were found at Santa Cruz without licenses, the owners stating that they would gladly pay if the License Collector would call upon them. Judge Sutton of Santa Cruz is quite in sympathy with your Hon- orable Board and is ready to enforce the law without fear or favor. Passing from Santa Cruz to Monterey many boats were found without the licenses, and four-inch numbers required by law. The place offers a rich return to your Li- cense Collector." "One bright sammer morning a beautiful speckled Trout lay in a deep, dark hole in Rock creek and chatted pleasantly with his friend, the Sncker, and tried to cheer him up a little.'* "It makes me feel sorry", Baid the Trout, "to see you going around with your lip hanging down that way like a motherless colt. Why don't you get a move on and enjoy yourself? There! See that nice fat grasshopper? Watch me take him in," and the Trout made a fierce rush at the unfortunate hopper — and was wound up on Mac's reel. The Sucker mournfolly shook his head and told an Eel who had come up that he knew the Trout would not last long; he was too fresh. "You never see me taking any Buch chances; oow here comes a worm — there is no danger in worms. "Watch me pick it up," and the Eel saw him stretch his mouth a foot or two and pick up a fat worm whose carcass was hidden one of Grandpa Hess's ringed Kirbys, and he, too left the wetness. Left all alone the Eel fastened to a wash boulder and fell to meditating, until, after considerable effort, he arrived at the following: Moral: It makes little difference whether one is a Trout or a Sucker, there is always something he will bite at. And if you oant catch a person with one bait, use another." A decidedly un-Apostolic crowd was that company of Sac ramentans which took shipping on Saturday last from Folsom St. wharf in Messrs. Spreckles' tug Relief. Captain Al White had catered freely, but somehow, soon after passing the Heads, most of tbe company became so absorbed in other things that they failed to notice the dainty dishes. The Farralones and deep sea fishing were tbe attractions whioh drew District Attorney Elwood Brewer, Messrs. E. J. Sbee* han and W. Gilkie of the Record-Union, Messrs. G. W. Mc- Mnllen, W. C. Collins and J. B. Harris of the Sacramento Bee, MessrB. Al. J. Johnson, C. F. Schwilk. Harry Bay, Diok Bohn, S. F. McDonald. J. S. McDonald, E. G. Tbomes, F. P. McCann, L. MoLtane, H. Preston, Fred Harges, W. Mullauey, P. Phinney, B. Palm. H. Sauter, A. Wilson, W. H. Rhoads, O. Sylvester, Dr. W. A. Rood, Ed Hook, E. A. Hare, Frank Bergman, Horace Greenwood. Chas. Leon- hardt, John Parrott and J. C. Grigsby from that caloric city which is a suburb' of Sutter's Fort. Mr. Frank Bergman projected the trip and managed it most successfully. Few accidents occurred. Mr E A. Hare presented a gold medal to go to the man catching the'first fish, but he took the med- al back, not a fish being taken. Elwood Bruner, weighing 100 pounds, was looking over tbe rail into the "soup". He was so in sympathy with old ocean, that convulsions siezed him, and in a few minutes he only weighed 180. Not that he was guilty of mal dejmer — it was the tears that lessened his dignified presence. E. J. Sheehan developed the most extraordinary fondness for nothing to eat. In fact, the total consumption of the party was four small sandwiches. The fluids carried along were brought back intact. If there is a doubter, let him address the Editor in Chief of this paper, who chanced upon the crowd just as it returned. Every- thing will be nil right when Saoramento next Bends her representative citizens a fishing. They will arrange for fish at Faladini's, and then go to the lake at Woodwards Garden and ride all day where waves never enter and ground Bwells are unknown. 1890 Jpie gmtler ami jlpartsmati; 207 THE "BEEBE" BREAKING CART Acknowledged by «*• HORSEMEN ROAD CARTS Spring Wagons, BUGGIES, Phaetons, Etc.

This great practical borse book 1b a handsome, three hundred page octavo, bound in cloth, ele- gantly printed, superbly Illustrated, and explains in every detail the remarkable success of OSARLES MARVIN and the whole plans and me- thods pursued at Palo Alto as to breaking, training, shoeing, gaitln£, driving, keeplDg, racing and breeding trotters. Read what J. C. Sibley, tbe owner of St. Bel. says of this book: "In this work Marvin has let out all the myateriea of the craft, and It is so Bimple and plain that any breeder, owner, trainer or rubber wbo haB any relish for bis business can take a colt as a yearling and develop to the highest and fullest extent that colt's capacity aa a trotter. The work impressed me bo strongly that I have ordered twenty copies, and shall place one in tbe bands of every rubber on our farm."

The Souther Farm is one and a half miles northeast of San Leandro and eight milea southeast of Oak- land- The stableB are about one mile east of the county road, which runs between Oakland and Sun 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 at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather tbe roads are very good, and they are fairly good after the unusually heavy ralnfa.ll of the past winter. All stock sent from ban Francisco may be brought over by G^reia's Express, No. 3 Market street, San Francisco. They also have an order box outside of fciawley Bros.' Hardware house on the corner of Market and Beale streets. The express leaves San Francisco on the Creek route boat, which starts at 1:3), but all orders should 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 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 Bmall cnarge will be made in such caseB. to cover the extra expense incurred. Horses are very easily taken from Oakland to the farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to bring them or send them, the farm will send after anything that ia to come. Horses can be shipped by rail from almost all parts of the State to San Leandro. Always notify the Farm sevpral days before shipping anything, and then men will be on hand to receive sto^k on arrival The railroad station la but two miles from "the Souther Farm, andtheapent 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 by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot honrs in the car. Passenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gauge ferry) andFirstand Broadway, Oakland, at frequent intervals during the day. There are several trains from San Jose to San Leandro on both the broad and narrow gauge railroads; tbe bn>ad gauge, by way of Niles. ia much more convenient f jr getting to the farm. There are traiuseach day from Sacramento, Stockton and Li-vermore to San Leandro. In ordi- 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 yon will arrive at Sau 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 the above address for references, circulars and price lists. Terms reasonable.

We present to our readers this week an exceedingly good likeness of the promising two-year-old Wayland W, who was bred by L. H. Mcintosh of Chico, and by him lately Bold to W. C. Helman of Ukiah. Wayland W is a handsome bay with black points; stands abont sixteen hands high, and is a perfect type of the ideal trotter. It was not rintil Jnne of this year that the colt had ever seen a track, yet still in Au- gust he made his first appearance at the Willows, trotting second in two heats to Maud Merrill, the time being 2:40 and 2:42}. On August lflth we next find the colt at Red Blnff, whore he won the two year old district purBe, trotting against Lccy B, the time of the two heats being 2:55i and 2:54}. His last appearance for this year was at Chico, where on Au- gust 26th he lost the first heat in 2:39 and in the second heat distanced his field in the exceedingly good time of 2:34J. A* the conclusion of this race the colt changed ownership, Mr. Helman paying for him $2,500; and by many it isconsidered the bargain of the year, for, barring accidents, Wayland 214 How the Great Horse Won tue Metropolitan In au Open Canter and How He Heat Malna.— A Most Cnclerical Friday Bread fast. CHAPTER I. Two men Btood in a paddock in the broad Sacramento Val- ' ley one day last week, sheltered by the evergreen boughs of • an ancestral oak that was fit to have graced a ducal park in any shire of England. Above this grateful shade the sun 'Careered grandly through a olondltes Bky. A hoarse, croak- ing sound arrested the wayfarers' attention and looking out • from under the oak's umbrageous boughs, they could see half a dozen vultures wrheelirjg upwards against the clear zenith, like grains of powder sprinkled upon a mirror, cir- ling proudly upon mighty but weary pinions. One horse after another was led out for their inspection but not a word escaped either. One by one they were led away till, at last, the yourger of the twain exclaimed "Great .Heavens, what a picture!" The travel-worn features of the elder visitor relaxed into a : smile. In a low voice he asked: "Well, iB he not as handsome as I had pictured him to '.on?" •"YeSj even more so," replied his companion. There were ^but two poets that ever could have properly described such a liorse and both are dead. By a most singular coincidence 'they were both named Goidon. The one was the ill-starred /Australian steeplechaser, known only to voyagers like .yourself. The other was the author of "The Giaour." He had spoken truly, for the animal before them was a fit subject for the facile pencil of a Herring. The thousand manifold hues that gleamed from his rich coat of claret bay would have defied the most subtle amalgamation of color- ing. In truth he was "A king by birtb, for who conld tame. A neck bo clothed with thunder to the rein?" His massire shoulders raked like the musts of a yacht, into a back and loin that were fit to have borne the Fallow visaged Corsican through the sulphurous canopy of Ansterlitz. Then tthose glorious hips and that long reach downwards to the Ibroad, flat hockB through st flee that showed the power and leverage of beam-engines. Four hard and flintlike cannon bones carried this ponderous frame down into as many well- ehapen and beautifully set feet, with pasterns that seemed made from steel springs. Above this gloriously laid founda- tion, a really masculine head and a patrician face were strongly set upon a neck that was not yet heavily crested, although his scions had won golden tributes alike under the dull Jersey pines and the whispering wattle-boughs of the great South Continent. Add to all thi3 that often overlooked virtue, a perfect temper, and you have the horae with the knightly name, the lion's heart and the eagle's eye. As the groom led the king of the winds back to his couch of straw and his banquet of oats, the elder man said: "There's an odd history attached to that same horse — would you like to hear it?" ""With greatest of pleasure," replied the Eastern visitor. "Well, let's walk back to the switch, for the West-bound train will be along in a few minutes and I will give it to you as I got it on my last visit to sunny New South Wales. " CHAPTER II. The two wayfarers were seated in the smoking carriage of the Reno Express when the Eastern visitor Baid. **Well, now, how about that big Australian horse?" '•He was not bred in Australia, but in New Zealand. He was foaled at the Middle Park Stud near Auckland, and got by Traducer out of the imported mare Idalia by Cambuscan, her dam Dolcibella by Voltigeur. Cambuscan won the July Stakes of 1863, and was an important winter favorite for the Derby of the following year, although he ran unplaced. Du- cibella won the Cesarewitch in a field of twenty-seven .start- ers, and the Great Yorkshire Handicap from sixteen others. Cambuscan is the sire of Camballo who won the Two Thou- sand Guineas of 1875. Traducer, the sire of SirModred, was the best stallion imported into New Zealand, always barring Musket, and I must put him down as the best exponent Of the Newminster blood in the colonies. He also got Welcome Jack, a great performer under the very heaviest weights; Cheviot, owned by Dr. Ross of San Francisco, and a score of lesser lights, all good ones to go."^ "And Sir Modred, was he a great racer?" "He was as good as they ever make them," replied the el- •der gentleman. "The course was never too long nor the pace too hot. At two years old he won the Champagne Stakes at IDunedin. In his three year old form he won the Canterbury Derby, Dunedin Cup and Railway Plate, and was beaten half a length in a mile and a half race, conceding thirty-nine pounds to Lady Emma, a well tried mare. At four years he ■was of little or no account, and won bat one race out of sev- ■en starts. At five year3 old he beat the great crack Malua, a Melbourne Cup winner, who did two miles in 3:30 J, with 135 lbs. up. He had now passed into the hands of a Sydney contractor named Proffitt, who was about as unscrupulous a man as you could easily find. He was entered in the prin- cipal events of 1884, including the Melbourne Cop as well as the, Metropolitan Stakes and Craven Plate at Sydney. At this time there was a man named Boult, a New Zealander, employed as cashier of the Brauch Bank of New Zealand in Sydney. He had backed several winners of important races, and, like most men of that class, did not know when toquit." "So he used the bank's money to play Sir Modredj I sup- pose?" queried the visitor. "Yes, and for nearly ten thousand pounds. Proffitt was surprised to find his hor6e Bteadily advancing in the belting quotations for the Melbourne cup, despite the faot that the stable money had not yet been placed on him. It did not take him long to trace this backing directly to Boolt. One day he came into the bank and asked for a loan of five thou- sand pounds, but waB told he would have to put up more collateral. He then charged Boolt with having forestalled him in the betting and Boult denied it. Proffitt then threat- ened to scratch Sir Modred for the Melbourne Cup. Boult laughed at him, and told him he dared not do it. Proffitt walked down to the telegraph office and sent a dispatch to Byron Moore, Secretary of the V. R. C, to scratch Sir Mo- dred. The affair created a profound sensation over the whole continent, and popular indignation rose to a boiling pitch. Proffitt was accused of dividing profits with the bookmakers, and, whether the accusation were true or false, has borne a very shady reputation ever since." "How did Boult come out of it?" "Badly enough, I assure you. With Sir Modred clean out of it, he hunted up another horse to back, and invested as much more on Commotion, who ran second to Malaa. This created a heavy defalcation, and Boult was convicted and sent to Darlinghurst Jail for twelve years.' "And Sir Modred, did he win any more races?" "To be sure he did. It was ]ust at this point that his brilliant career began. The old trainer was so disgusted at the scratching that he at once threw up his job and left the horse without any attendant whatever. Four days after the scratching took place, the great Metro- politan, two miles, was to be run at Randwick. Sir Modred had not had a canter in the meantime. Proffitt took the big horse out himself, and gave him two slow miles in the morn- ing. Sir Modred had a belly on him like a broodmare, but he went out that afternoon and made a holy show of his com- pany, with odds of 8 to 1 against him. He carried 122 pounds, and won in a common canter by three lengths in 3-.34L Two days later he beat Malua and twelve others for the Craven Plate, one and a quarter miles, in 2:10£, and held hard at that. From that time out he was so loaded down with weight, that victory was impossible. In 18S5 he was sold to Mr. D. F. Mackay, of Singleton, where he stood one season and got Antaeus, Sir William and Camden, all good performers. Sir William won the Hawkesbury Handicap last April in such a way as to make him a prominent feature for the nest Caulfield Cup, and he is a horse that will take lots of beating; and Antseus is a colt of great speed and high qual- ity, that has won several good races." "And Boult — whatever became of him?" "Well, that is the strangest part of the story, because it is the only case I know where the prosecution, after having thrown a man into prison, were the principal factors in try- ing to get him out. It seems that the signature of a man in prison is of no value on a deed, and Boult had got some real estate in Sydney which, during his term of incarceration, had become valuable — nearly enough to pay off the amount of his defalcation. Applications were made to the Governor (Lord Carrington) for his pardon, but for a long time with, out avail. The Governor said that it could not be pleaded in his behalf, that he was indigent, and committed his crimes through the pressure of poverty. On the contrary he had a liberal salary, and could easily have lived on it had be kept down his mania for turf speculations. So Boult remained in jail till October, 1889. About that time the bank people goj hold of the matter, and made such a strong pall upon the Governor, that Lord Carrington set him free, but very reluc- tantly. And where do yon Buppose he is now?" "Well, certainly not in his old position?" said the New York man. "Well, not exactly," replied the old-timer, "but almost the next thing to it. He is in London, a confidential adviser at the head-office of the bank. Its financial affairs are in none too good a condition, and as Boult is more conversant with all its colonial transactions than any other man alive, they have need of him. Yes, he gets a good salary, and doesn't play any more horses. It is a good lesson, in two parts. First, not to play races with other people's money; and sec- ondly, not to back any horse for any large amount till you find out whether the owner has made bis own book all right." "It sometimes seems to me," continued the old Culifor- nian, "that everything painful or tragical must be surrounded with something absolutely ridiculous. The present instance was no exception, for when Boult found himself a defaulter with a penitentiary staring him in the face, be resolved upon flight. If he could only reach Brisbane in time to catch the steamer for Calcutta, he could leave her at Sourabaya and be comparatively safe from arrest. Accordingly he left Syd- ney on a night train, disguised as a Catholic priest, and got off at Newcastle, where he lay, till the next morning brought along the Brisbane train. All the way up that long ride of 1,250 miles, he could hear the passengers, who never once suspected his identity, talking about his defalcation and flight." "And was he caught at Brisbane?" "Of eourse he was, but let me tell you how. He went into the Bellvue Hotel and registered under an assumed name — Father Somebody, of course. Mr. Collins, the proprietor, has only Irish waiters in his employ, and it was in the din- ing-room that Boult gave himself away, as the slang goes. He walked in to the breakfast table, it being Friday morn- , ing, and astonished the waiter by oalling for a porter-house steak, with some bacon and eggs. The waiter ejaculated 'Howly Mary,' and let half a dozen dishes fall to the floor, but he recovered his presence of mind and got Boult his order. This done, he went out into the office and told Mr Collins that there was a man in the dining-room who was masquerading in the garb of a priest. Mr. Collins, who is a devout Catholic himself, came to the same conolnBion, and notified the police authorities, who had already been ap- praised of Boult's defalcation and flight. As a natural con- sequence, thereof, the big steamer Jumna went to sea that afternoon and he was not aboard, but safely locked in Bris- bane jail, awaiting his turn to be taken back to Sydney. "Well, it is indeed a Btrange story— sounds almost like one of Hawley Smart's novels, doesn't it? "It does indeed," said the elderly man. "It may not be exactly, word for word, as I have given it to you, but the main facts are as it was told to me in Sydney. I have told it to you as I got it from others who were in a better position to know the facts than myself." CHAPTER III. Such is the romance surrounding Sir Modred. The reality is all that now remains to be told, and that is a portion of American turf hiBtory with which the veriest turf tyro is familiar. In October, 1886, he was purchased by Mr. Bruce Lowe, of Sydney, for J. B. Haggin, Esq., of California, and reached his new home in safety. In 1839, the first of his get appeared in public, there being but seven trained. All of these were bracketed, and five of them were returned as stake-winners. In the present year, the two most valuable three-year-old events, the Realization Stakes at Coney Island and the Omnibus Stakes at Long Branch, fell to his son Tournament, the property of that big-hearted gentleman, Senator Hearst; the Foxhall, Iroquois and Travers Stakes at Saratoga and the Spindrift StakeB at Coney Island, were won by his son Sir John; and the Elms Stakes at Westchester by his daughter, Gloaming; the Throgg's Neck Stakes at West- chester, worth over $2,000, were won by his son Dr. Hel* muth, whoBe brother, Dr. Hasbrouck, won the Larchmout StakeB for two-year-olds and another EtBke, which place his winnings at $4,600, exclusive of second and third moneys in other races. In all, Sir Modred has done better in his first1 twe seasons than any of the early famous importations to America, not excepting Glencoe, Leamington, Yorkshire or Bonnie Scotland. May he long be Bpared to perpetuate, through his sons and daughters, the halo of brilliancy that surrounds his knightly name. T. B. M. Nevada State Fair.

Sound Feet on Horses, and How to Keep Them So. A trial of Campbell's Horse Foot Remedy will convince any fair-minded person that it makes the foot soft but tough, and draws out all the fever and Roreness. It pro- motes a rapid growth of a new foot and gives it that dark, healthy appearance Been only in good, sound healthy feet. In twenty minutes after it is applied you can drive your horse through dust and ashes and they will not stick to the hoof, proving beyond a doubt that the Remedy has penetra- ted into the foot where it acts as an oil to grease and lubri- cate the many joints and knuckles. It iB applied with a small paint brush in n moment without trouble or diit, and a simple painting all over the foot once a day is guaranteed to keep the horses' hoofs in perfect condition, no matter how long the driveB or hard the roads. Under these circumstan- ces can you afford to lose the services and impair the value of your horseB by going without tbiB valuable remedy ? Re- member, Campbell's Horse Foot Remedy prevents as well as cokes all ailments of the feet, and preventation is better than care. Try it. See advertisment.

Church Brothers of Frankfort have sold out $1,500 to Clayton Brothers of Virden, 111 , the chestnut colt Rene On- ward, dam by King Bene. Hal Pointer, the great Tennessee pacer.bas been purchased by a Buffalo syndicate. The price paid was $7,500. The horse will continue down the circuit. Mr. Corbitt last week purchased from Bufus Murphy, Santa Rosa, the bay more Mountain Maid, by Anteeo 2:16i, dam by Mountain Boy. Price, $2,000. W. H. Barkley, of Lexington, has sold for $3,5000 to G. T. Clark of London, Obio, the bay yearling colt Billy Redd, by Red Wilkes, dam by Dixon, a son of Happy Medium. D. L. Herr of Lsxingtou ha9 sold for $5,000 to J. J. Bright of Point Pleasant, Weat Va., the three-year-old gray colt Slrong Boy (pacer) by Allendorf, dam Bashaw Belle, by Green's Bashaw. One of the happiest looking men at the Oakland track last Satuday was Mr. Salisbury, the well known proprietor of the Pleasanton Stock Farm, who mast have been quite wearied by the congratnlations he received. Mr. Corbitt, the well known owner of San Mateo Stock Farm, has purchased a full Bister to Mollie Drew 2;27, and three of her produce— a filly foal, a yearling colt and a two year old filly, all by Guy Wilkes. Jimmy McLaughlin received quite an ovation when he made his first appearance in the saddle this year at the Coney Island Jockey Club Meeting. McLaughlin on Philosophy was beaten a head by Bunn on Lavina Belle. Whipple & Co. of Meadsville, Penn., have sold for $6,000 to Darnall Brothers of Flemingsbury, Ky., the live year-old stallion Nutford by Nutwood, dam Moss Rose by Woodford Mambrino, second dam Primrose by Alexander's Abdallah. W. H. Babb is said to have refused $6000 for the three year old Guido in Montana; the colt was bought by C V Tap- per at the Bay District Track when a yearling, being sold by his breeder Col. H. T. Thornton at public auction for $95. A number of New York and New BmnBwiok capitalists have bought a large tract of land at South River, near here, and work was begun to-day toward constructing a race track there, with a club house and other buildings. Seth Gritfen is the contractor. In England and on many parts of the Continent they have been for a long time using a horse shoe made by compressing common cowhide. It is composed of three thicknesses of the cuv. skiu pressed in a steel mould and then subjected to a chemical preparation. It is claimed for it that it is much lighter, that it lasts longer, and that split hoofs are never known in horses using it. It is perfectly smooth at the bot- tom, no calks beiDg required, the shoe adhering firmly to the most polished surface. Its elasticity prevents many sprains, the horses Bteps beiDg lighter and surer. We, says the Sporting Chronicle, have received volume 9 of the * Stud Book Francaise," comprising a register of thoroughbreds imported or borne in France from the year 1SB4 to 1889 inclusive. We note that the Frenoh are a little in front of us, as the work is published by order of the Minister of Agriculture, and we are not aware that Mr. H. Chaplin, M. P. has "ordered" anything so useful since he accepted a similar office in England. "The "Stud Book Francaise" is a beautifully printed "tome" of close on 600 pages, and is a very valuable supplement indeed to the Eng- glish work of the same character. When Mr. Cyril Flower won the House of Commons' Steeplechase on Home Rule, a certain portion of that August assembly accepted the result as a pleasant omen as to the fu- ture of the Irish question, and some very witty and agree- able references were made to the winner in debates says the Umpire of the 17th. Another winner oropped up on Wed- nesday last at Kempton Park which would doubtless bring comfort to the heart of a distinguished M, P. — to wit, 8ir Wilfred Lawaon. We refer, of course, to the victory of Ab- stinence, whose dam was sister to Pulpit, and who had the blood of Edward the Confessor ani Priestcraft in his vains. Curiously enough, this horse with so many goody-goody strains of blood was bought after the race by a Mr. Deacon. The thirty days' Summer meeting of the Brighton Beach Racing Association ended last week. During its continuance 185 races were rnn, 47S horses contesting for the $96,875 that was the total value of the stakes and purses, the asso- ciation giving $94,000 of this amount. The money waa dis- tributed among 120 owners, the largest Bum going to W. C. Daly, who won IS races and $14,832.75. The largest of the other winners were W, Lakeland, 87,175; J, H. McCormick, $7,154; S. Emery, $2,550; D. T. Pulsxfer. $2,525*. John Mul- ling $2,450; J. H. Lewis, Jr., $2,225- R. Harper, $2,050; and the Wellington Stable, $2,130. Long distance races have been a feature of the meeting, there having been a race at each of the following distances: If, If, 2, 2£, 2J, 3, and 4 mileB, a record which no other track can show. Cy Mulkey has a wonderfully successful season in Mon- tana with the gallopers. Sinfax, the Palo Alto bred two year old won $3,759.50, Tom Daly $1440 and Tim Murphy $1350. He is now in Portland, Oregon, where he expects to add still further to his bank account. Mr. Van Gordon sent the three trotters, Claremont, Lena H and Old Nick, back to San Simeon last Tuesday. Clare- mont, from whom great things were expected, went lame while Lena H, having obtained a record, will be retired to the paddock after this season. Lake Da Bois stepped off the cars last Sunday evening like a two-year-old having just come on from Denver to see the State Fair again. The veteran who is as juvenile as ever sayb 'the Mayor' will trot Superior at the Denver fall meeting and may possibly winter here again. Dash races of one mile for trottters may become popular among the members of the betting fraternity. They will not tend to increase the staving powers of our trotters, hence will not improve the foreign demand for American trotting stock. Dash races of two, three or four miles would be more sensible. The Eleventh District Fair at Qaincv, which commences on the 22nd, promises to be a great success. Among the visitors there will be Major Marion Biggs, who has made seven or eight entries. Mr. Biggs who was in Oakland on Monday, and Tuesday says he shall most certainly go up him- self, and he expects that it will be an exceptionally good meeting. If a vote -vere taken, says the Sporting World, among the trainers as to the best looking horEe seen in the paddock Al Farrow would have won by a big majority. He is certainly a powerful looking racer, somewhat of the Exile make. Be- sides having the appearance of a weight carrier he looks as though he might be an old time cap winner. On September the fourth, at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, Palo Alto trotted an exhibition mile in 2:124, Sunoi in 2:115 while Orrin A. Hickok drove Alfred S to wagon against Mag- gie K to harness winning in straight heats. Time 2:21, 2:163. The lime forthe laBt heat 2:16$, being the best on record in a race and only a quarter of a second behind Hopeful 2:16$ against time. George Van Gordon, Senator Hearst's superintendent, has had the ground surveyed for the mile track on the recently purchased Valentine ranch near Pleasanton, and work will be begun almost immediately. The intention is to raise the colts on the ranch in Sin Louis Obispo and send them to Pleasanton to be educated. Mr. Van Gordon speaks in high- ly eulogistic terms of the youngsters on the ranch by im- ported Cheviot whom he thinks will prove one of the stallions of the century. The trotter Maud Knox was Bold two weeks ago by R. S. I'erkinR, the wealthy Portland turfman, *o Captain Russtll T. Lowe, of Seattle, owner of the pacer St. James and other aotable Myers for $3,000 cash. Maud Knox at one time was as good as sold to a well known capitalist of Tacoma for ^3,500, bot doing a trial mile better than her reoord, her ■wner refuBed to sell her. Captain Lowe has been after the ware for five months and was much elated when he secured her. The distances between the post stations in Persia diffe greatly, sometimes they are under fifteen, and occasionally over thirty miles. On a stage of moderate length tbe horses are supposed to do eight miles an hour, and they will easily do that or more if they are in fair condition and have had a good rest before starting, but even under these conditions they have a will of their own and have to be humored. On lesvingthe station, however impatient yon may be, don't at- tempt to go off immediately on a gallop. If you do your animal will resist, and will probably get sulky or obstreper- ous. Go for a few hundred yards at a slow walk, then in- crease the pace to a jog trot, and when you have been well shaken up for 6ve or ten minutes, get him into an amble and keep him at it. The amble may not seen very fast but it will take you over your eight miles in an hour comfortably, and it haB the advantage of being not at all fatiguing— a con- sideration not to be despised if you mean to cover quickly a long distance. I do not know what the record in this re- spect is, but I have myself repeatedly done over one hun- dred milea in twenty four hours. Lee Paul, the veteran thoroughbred trainer, died of par- alysis at his residence at Lexington on the 31st of August. Mr. Paul ranked among the most skillful trainers of horses in America. He has been in the ranks for nearly a half cen- tury, and during that time has trained many good ones, in- cluding the great Hindoo, the Kentucky Derby winner; Day Star, Mrs. Chubbs, Blue Lodge, Terra Cotta, Montana Re- gent, Julia L , and a half a hundred other noted winneis. The last effort of his life in his profession was the final pre- paration he gave to Corrigan's crack, .Riley, which enabled that colt to win the Louisville Derby and the Clark Stakes. Mr Paul's death removes from the turf about tbe last of the old school trainers that nourished in ante-bellum times. Captain Russell England, says "Atlas," who some eighteen months ago arranged the sale of Ormonde for the Duke of Westminster, left on Thursday for Buenos Ayres. Before leaving he offered by cable to the present owner £14,000 for Ormonde, being the amount paid to the Duke for him, and it is understood that the offer was accepted. The buyer is Baron Hirscb, who is forming a breeding stud, and is now advertising for mares, dams of winners. The Hungarian Government were also anxious to offer £12,000 for Ormonde, but their agent has been told the sale is already agreed to. There is, of course, the risk of bringing the horses over, which the bnyer must face. The Bum ot £14,000 pounds in gold at the present exchange represents in Buenos Ayres from £50,000 to £60,000. Mr. Croft has among his treasures a plate that came off the foot of the American turf's noblest ornament, Salvator. Two years a»o Secretary Crickmore presented to the turf writer of the Tribune, plates that had been worked by The Bard and Firenzi, and it is interesting to tote the difference in size and shape between the hoofB of the three horses, The Bard's plate is much the smallest. It tits inside of Salvator's very nicely, and Salvator's almost tits inside of FireDzi's. The mare's foot is flat, and almost perfectly round, while the feet of the horses are slightly elongated. The Bard's plate is deci- dedly pointed at the toe, and very irregular elsewhere. Sal- vator's is about two-thirds of a perfect oval. The Bard rev- elled in mud and Salvator does not mind it, but Firenzi is at her best on a fast track. Sott slush she can travel in, but in sticky going her great feet cause too much suction. The ancient myth about Flying Childers running a mile in a minute, reminds "Kirk" of the good old days down in Kentucky, when trainers used to time horses without watches. The method was to sit on a fence and tap the rail with a pocket knife at what was supposed to be the end of each Becond. On any trial day you might see a dozen knives pecking away and hear a dozen voices mumbling in unison, one. two, three, four, five, etc. Some of these veterans could eome pretty close to a minute with their sixty peoks. Long practice had made them very expert. They were sel- dom more than two seconds oat of the way, either over or under. No doubt Flying Childers' wonderful mile was timed in a similar manner. The accuracy of the faat mile credited to the English horse Brag, is doubted by many turfmen on both Bides of the Atlantic. It is interesting to know, how- ever, that Mr. Belmont now has in his stable a colt by this same Brag. ^___^__ The Monmouth Park Association have decided, says the Times, to build a hotel on property owned by them near their new race track. It is not intended to make a new sum- mer resort, but a much-needed home for owners and train- ers and their families, in close proximity to the stables where the horses are quartered and the tracks where they are exercised. The plans for this new hotel are not yet per- fected, but the scheme in a general way is to build a house sufficiently large to accommodate tbe people for whose use it is intended, and to have it run in first-cla-s shape by some good hotel manager who knows just what the class of people he will cater for desire, and will be able to furnish them with home comforts at a reasonable price. The association will own the bouse and have a general supervision of itscondnot. It will be constructed and conducted solely because no ade- quate quarters, such as the horsemen require, now exist nearer than Long Branch, which is some five miles away. "Father Bill" Daly got an allopathic dose of his own medi- cine in the selling race which his horse Drumstick won from start to finish, with long odds against him, says the New York TimeB of the 2nd. Tattler and Firefly, two other Brighton Beachers, being the choicest in the betting. The horse was entered to be sold for $1,000, and, as everyone knew he was worth much more than that, fun was expected when the horse was put up for sale. The fun came when the horse waa put up, "Jimmy" McCormick bidding $1,500 at the first crack. Father Bill replied with a raise of $25, and the bidding was lively until $2,625 was reached, at which price the horse was knoeked down to Daly. The crowd ap- plauded McCormick, laughed at "Father Bill," and the band rubbed it in when the old man went stumping across the lawn by playing "For we've all been there before many a time," much to the amusement of the regulars. As the race was worth but $750 to the winner, and it. cost Father Bill $1,625 to keep the horse, he was out $875, and there was no one he could levy au assessment on to make good his loss. So he went home a sadder, and possibly a wiser man. Sunol by Electioneer was three years six months and 24 days old when she made her record of 2:10s. Axtell by William L. was 3 years, 6 months and 10 days old when he made his record of 2;12. Lillian WilkeB by Guy Wilkes was 3 years, 5 months and 21 days old when she made her record of 2:17J. Sable "Wilkes by Guy was 3 years, 8 months and 5 days old when he made his record of 2:19. Allerton by Jay Bird was three years, 4 months and 7 days old when he made his record of 2:184;. Faust by Florida was 3 years. 3 monthB and 5 days old when he made his record of 2:18*/. Bell Boy by Electioneer was 3 years, 8 months and 7 days old when he made his record of 2:19i. Hinda Rose by Electioneer was 3 years, 7 months and 27 days old when she made her record of 2:l9i. Patron by Pancoast was 3 years, 1 month and 1 day old when he made his record of 2:144. Houri by Onward was 3 years, 5 months and 16 days old when she made her record of 2:17. Don Pizarro by Gambetta WilkeB was 3 years, 2 months and 20 days old when he made his record of 2;14§. According to the law — in New South Wales, at all eventa — it is libellous to publish the disqualification of anybody who may have been rnled off by a racing club. In the Jury Court, Sydney, an action was brought by a C. A. L. Brown against Thomas Leary and others, representing the Wilcannia Jockey Club, to recover compensation from the defendants in consequence of their having published a notice that the Wilcannia Jockey Club had disqualified the plaintiff for twelve months for improper behavior to the race officials on the 27th and 25th of January last. The damages were laid at £1,000. It appeared that after the race meeting in Jan- uary last, the plaintiff admittedly used some very warm lan- guage towards the committee with respect to the handicap- ping of one of his horses, and the committee in consequence- disqualified him for twelve months, and posted the usual no- tice, not at their rooms at a local hotel, but in a passage near the bar. The jury, without leaving the box, returned a. verdict for the plaintiff, with damages one faithing. The news that Mr. C. D. Rose has donated £1,000 to each of three long distance handicaps, has excited the envy of the Toronto Empire, which sayB: — "He is a steady businessman, this young Canadian, from Montreal. He is Mr. C. D. Rose, son of the late Sir John Rose, once our Minister of Finance. Suppose this Rose had been left to blossom on its native heath; that he had moved west, as many good young men do. and having located at Toronto, had been now to tbe fore to help on the O. J. C. races at the Woodbine. But no, water runs to theriver, and this young man of millions must needs go and lavish his wealth on Newmarket, where there is al- ready 'encouragement' enough. By the bye, the young man's first effort was to give £10,000 for a racehorse, The Prince, who never won him a dollar. But this was ten years ago, He is now a middle aged man, and oh! why didn't he stay in Canada to decry sprinters and improve the breed of long distance runners?" It may interest tbe Canadians says the English Sporting Chronicle to learn that Mr. Rose purchased The Prince in 1883, and the horse won for him the £1000 Crawford Plate at Newmarket on April 16, 1884. McLaughlin, America'^ foremost jockey in all the years that be rode upon the turf, will, according to the Tribune, return to the saddle. Frank Ehert, who recently bought Theodore Winters' horses, intends to go in for racing on an extecsive sale, and has engaged McLaughlin to ride for him next sea- son. Till the 1st of January the jockey will continue to train Pierre Loiilllard's stable of middle class horses, then he will go back to his old trade. That he is still the idol of the racing community was made ap'parent yesterday by the applause that gieeted him when he rode out on Philosophy, hia first mount this year. It is understood that he will ride from time to time in welterweight races during the remainder of the season. Though McLaughlin has bad fair success as a trainer, he hae not been entirely happy in his new calling. Mr. Loril- lard is well satisfied with tbe way in which McLaughlin haB handled the Rancocas stable, and the relations between own- er and trainer have been of tbe pleasantest possible descrip- tion. "I have been thinking of going back to the saddle for sev- eral months," McLaughlin said yesterday. He bad just left the jookey's room after taking off the colors in which he rode Philosophy, and was strll breathing fast from the exhaustion of that hard finish. "I don't like training, and now that I am able to get down in weight without much wasting, I am anxious to ride again.' ""What is your weight now!" he was aBked, 1890 %\tz %Ktz&zx and j^pxrrismatx. 217 The well known English thoroughbred stallion Paradtx died the property of Mr. Brodriek Cloete a few weeks ago. The cause of his death was inflammatory rheumatism, from which he bad been ailing for some time. He was bred in 1S83 at the Yardley stud, being sired by Sterling, dam Casuistry, and was purchased when a yearling by Captain Bowling for 700 guineas. He afterwards became the pro- perty of the Duke of Westminster, and ran in the colors of that gentleman in the Middle Park plate, but could only fin* ish a dead heat with Koyal Hampton for third place behind Melton and Xaintrailles. He was sold to Mr. Broderick Cloete after his defeat and won his nest race the Dewhnrst plate and his owner refused an offer of 10,000 sots, for him. As a 3 year-old he won the two thousand guineas by a head from Crafton and sis others, and in the Derby of that year ran a great race, being only beaten by a bead from Melton. His other victories that year were the Graod Prix de Paris, the Susses Stakes at Goodwood, the Champion Stakes at Newmarket, and the Free Handicap Sweepstakes at the Hatighton meeting. He was then retired to the stud and was very popular with breeders. His first batch of colts will not be two years old till 1S91. "Stripped I weigh 124 pounds. I did not have to do any work to get down either. I'm lighter than I have been in two years without considerable wasting." "What weight will you have to make with Ehret?" "The contract is that I ride at 120 pounds." To call Mr. Laughlin a huetler sums up in one word near- ly all his perfections as a jockey. The dictionary definition of this word is not half broad enough, but the world does not have to go to Worcester or Webster to learn its mean- ing. It had its development and proper application in the wild and wooly region of our common, country, and has spread wherever American push and energy have penetratedf To huBtle, in short, means to get there by the nearest cut. Getting there made McLaughlin's fame and established the American Bchool of riding. No other jockey ever rode as McLaughlin did when at the pinnacle of his fame. Turf- men will tell you on the spur of the moment that races are won at the finish, but when advised to consider seriously the style and methods of McLaughlin they will admit that most of his races are won at the beginning. In certain re- spects other jockeys are his equals in America, but as a rider of 2-year-olds he was never approached. name. Simmons is sixteen hands higb, weighs 1,200 ponnds and is gaited precisely like his immortal sire. Many a betting man is very superstitious and volumes cculd be written on the whims and ideas that control their actions when wooing fortune's smiles. Few of them, how- ever, have much of a weakness for ghosts, although the fol- lowing dispatch from Rochester shows that they have the genuine article down there at present in the shaps of poor Danny Mackin, a jockey that was killed at Detroit a few years ago by the horse he was riding making a sudden and vicious bolt and hurling him to the ground. When the jockey was picked up a stream of blood was running from a hole in his temple down his cheek and neck. A story has been current among jockeys and stablemen ever sinc9 Mackm's death that his ghost walks at night among the race track stables in quest of the horse that killad him. This Btory has always been believed by stablemen, and if any one had doubts of it they are dispelled now, for the ghost itself was seen by at least a dozen of them at Rochester Driving Park one night list week. The midnight watch of stablemen had come on duty and the men were lounging in front of the stables when one of them saw a slim figure in white approaching the stables from a clump of trees on the grounds. The man called the attention of his companions to the object. They all saw it clearly as it glided noiselessly to the stable. When the apparition came full in the light of the large hanging lamp in front of the stable and revealed the figure, clad in jockey garb, and a face as white as tne clothes, with a red streak running from the right temple down the cheek and neck, like a line of blood trickling down, the stablemen were paralyzed with terror. The specter jockey passed into the stable through the open door. The door leading to the stalls where the horses were was closed, but the ghost kept right on, passed through the door as if it had been open and disappeared. One of the sta- blemen recovered himself sufficiently to think that perhaps this might be a clever trick of some one to get at the horses to do them harm, and he hurried forward and opened the door leading to the stalls, with the intention of preventing any such purpose. Two or three of his companions followed him The apparition was moving slowly along the Btalls, stopping an instant at each and then passing to the nest. The horses seemed to be aware of the mysterious presence. They neighed and plunged and stamped in their stalls as the specter passed along. Tne stablemen were again paralyzed by this second vision of the jockey ghost and stood motion- less and speechless at the door. Ths apparition glided on and paused at every stall in the stable, turned its face for a moment toward the terror-stricken men in the door, and dis- appeared as suddenly and mysteriously as it had come. That they had seen the wandering ghost of poor Danny Mackin not one man of the midnight watch has the slightest doubt. As you are always ansious to receive information that may interest some of yonr many readers, I beg to give you the following as a curious coincidence of nature, as well as a rec- ord of what esperience and application may do. A few weeks since I sent a mare, then heavy in foal, to Mr. Wilham Flanders. Mepal. Isle of Ely, to be mated, after par- turition, to his Elsenham Cup horse Reality. In due time the mare gave birth to a filly foal (by the late Lord Derby 2d), strong and healthy, but with a bag or udder full of milk, which flowed freely from the teats, the mother showing no more than s barreD mare. Mr. Flandersjwas in a dilemma and became very ansious, having never seen or heard of a simi- lar case. However, he took means at once to keep the foal going by supplying a substitute for nature's fluid, and by careful nursing and watchfulness, the spark of life was kept burning for two or three days. When the mare began to Bhow signs of milk the foal was put to her, but unfortunately tho milk was tainted, "so the last state was worse than the first," the foal became sick and weakened, and lay down to die. Mr. Flanders' anxiety increased, and he put forth all his energies, together with those of his son, to keep it alive while the dam was being physicked. This being done, the foal was again put to with the assistance of one or two men. This time all was right, and within two days of the crisis or eight after birth, it was showing marks of playfulness around the dam. and from the last report, a fortnight after, mare and foal were doing well, the Iatter's bag having entirely dried np. But for Mr. Flanders' esperience the foal would have been lost. — J. Makeague, in Live Stock Journal Lon- don. The declaration that it makes no difference in regard to size, and that size cuts no figure, so long as quality is kept uppermost in sight, is amply borne out by the performances of Borne of the greatest turf horses, hoth trotters and racers, that have so far appeared uj.on the American tracks. The Sporting "World says: Among the former we have Jay Eye See, barely 15 hands high, with a record of 2:10; Phallas, 2:131- so small that notwithstanding he had the best stallion record of any living horse Mr. Corbitt purchased the un- tried Guy Wilkes in preference to him, and Alcazar, 2:20, barely over 15 hands and an inch high, but so beautifully formed that no man could guess within an inch of his true height. Moreover, the once famous May Howard, 2:23, was by Paddy McGee, a little gray pony, 14i hands high, with a record of 2:33£. Among the racers r-- called, the famous three-miler of olden times on the Pacific Coast, Little Flea by Grey Eagle, out of an imported mare by Actseon. He was but 14f hands high, and not only did three miles in 5:33i, but subsequently drove Red Eye out in a Becond heat of four miles in 7:39*. Sherrod, who won a second heat in three miles in 5:34 and lapped Molly Jackson out in a third heat in 5:28-V, the re- cord to this very day, although the race was run twenty-nine years ago, was even a smaller horse than Flea. Underhand, one of the cracks of the English turf, won the Northumber- land Plate three years consecutively, carrying 122 pounds in his victory of 1859. He won the great Ebor Handicap at York with 127 ponnds up, and a Queen's Plate, with 129 ponnds, at five years old. Undjerhand was not fifteen hands high until he was five years old. Imported Albion, who headed the winning sires of 1859. and was second to Revenue in the list of 1S60 by only §14 of winnings, was a black horse just 15 hands high. Glencoe, the greatest of all our imported sires, was barely 15 hands 2 inches. Bonnie Scotland was under that height, and Luke Blackburn, his greatest son, never reached that figure til he was past Bis years old. King Fonso, who beat both Ten Broeck and Chesapeake, was barely 15i handB.and his world famous son. Foshall. was even smaller. Bramble, the craok two miler of 1S79 was barely fifteen hands high, and was known as the * 'Tennessee Runt" ell through his long turf career, and it is doubtful if a more consistent performer (always barring Hanover and MiBS Woodford) ever carried the famous Dwyer colors to victory. Count Valensin's Simmocolon, which James H. Gold- smith has been driving down the grand circuit with much success, derives his name from the union of the names of two characters, a stallion and a man. The Newark Sunday Call says: The sire of Simmocolon is Simmons, and Colon was a former owner or trainer. Mr. Goldsmith has frequently been guyed by those who did not know the derivation of the name, as having spelled it wrong. When informed th*t the signification was not a point of punctuation the "joke" was on the other side. Simmocolon iB a grandson of George Wilkes and a nephew of Rosa Wilkes, 2:18$. His sire, Sim- mons, is the sire of nine in the list, and the sire of one three- year-old with a record of 2:22£, and one four year old with a record of 2:27i. Simmons was bred by T. J. Montague, and foaled in 1879". His dam, Black Jane, was a daughter of Mambrino Patchen. He is owned by W. H. Wilson, of Cyn- tbiana, Ky. Simmons is a coal black and elegantly formed, Ever since he was a yearling he has carried off the honors of the show ring in his class, and at the great American Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, N. T., in the full of 1833, he carried off the first prize for four-year-old stallions. Mark Field, in writing of Simmons, says:Mr. Wilson paid an enor- mous price for him, in the faith that the horse, being a full brother to Rosa Wilkes and a son of one of the greatest dot- ting progenitors, might reasonably be esteemed a prospective Bire in whose nltimate pre-eminencB few chances were to be taken. That this faith was not chimerical appears evident in the splendid list which Simmons has appended to his F. S Gordon, writing to Dunton's Spirit, says: E. J Travis and I bought at the Kellogg Sale, last spring, Pleas anton, b c, foaled 18S8, by Director, record 2:17. dam Mav Day, record 2:30, by Cassius M. Clay Jr., 54. He is a full brother to Margaret S that made a record of 2:12* last week, and the same week won her race against aged horses in tbe three fastest heats ever trotted by a four year old in a race, and on tbe day she was just four years old. To-day I bought from Mr. Travis his half of Pleasanton, and own him; Mr. Travis and I also own jointly Saccharine, b c. foaled 1888, by Director 2:17, dam Sweetness, record 2:211, dam of Sid- ney, pacing record 2:19^, and sire of the great Faustino 2:26i, and others. How many other stallions are there out of a mare with a record of 2:30 that have a produce of 2:12$, and then Bires by a race horse, record 2:17? Mr. Dan Swigert of the famous E'mendorf Stud has held his last yearling sale, and in the future the product of this great establishment will be trained and raced in his colors, it being his intention to return to the turf. It is stated that Mr. Swigert has become dissatisfied with the patronage he has received at the hands of the turfmen in the last few years at bis annual sales, and being allured by the rich stakes now being hung up throughout the country, he has conclu- ded to stake his chances once again in a racing stable. Mr. Swigert is satisfied that yearling3 are to day not bring- ing what they should bring in proportion to what they have a chance to win, and he has concluded in the future to race the product of the Elmendorf mares and stallions, and in this way derive all tbe profits of their winnings on the turf. Every year from forty-five to fifty yearlings are sired at Elmendorf, and when Mr. Swigert shows up with such a string of trained horses he will create a decided sensation, and it is safe to say that the Elmendorf Stable, known as "Stockwood," will ba heard from when such horses as King- fisher, Baden, Maplestick, Spendthrift and Hindoo were among the great cracks that bore its colors to victory. The new racing firm will be the same a3 the present breed- ing one, Swigert & Son, and the East as well as the West will be the scene of its esploits. The monument to Bysdyk's Hambletonian, the obelisk which marks the resting place of Green Mountain Maid, and the marble column that tells where the dead thoroughbred king, Ten Broeck, lies buried, all show man's appreciation for God's most noble beast. But snch homage is not an American inception, as the records show that John, Earl of Cork (Lord Boyle), who lived in England over one hundred and fifty years ago, was probably the originator of such memorials. The following inscription on a monument to one of his favorite horse3 was transcribed for the London Gemleman's Magazine, May, 1780: "Monumental inscription on an urn in the gardens at Huston: "Hie sepultua est, Rex Nobby, Equorum Princeps. Omnium sul generis. Longe praestantissimus. Ob. 12 Feb. 1754. ^tatis 34.' On another side: "Under the stone we interred the bones of King Nobby, a Horse, who was superlatively beautiful in his kind. He loved his master wi.n an affection far exceeding the love of brutes. He had sen-e, courage, strength, majesty, spirit and obedience. He nev r started, he never tripped, be never stumbled. He lived to an uncommon age, and till within two years of bis death retained his natural excellence and vigor. HiB limbs were sound to his last momenta, he hav- ing enjoyed the peculiar felicity of scarce ever having been lame or siok during the long course of his life." On the third side: "King Nobby drew his first breath May 7, 1720. He was purchased in a luck hour by John, Lord Boyle, Maroh 30, 1726, with whom he lived near 28 years, and to whom he proved himself an inieomparable horse, a docile, social, and even domestic animal, a sagaoious brute, and a faithful servant." On tbe fourth Bide: "KiDg Nobby performed two journeys into Ireland with- out accident and without fatigue. Though he was strong and hardy, his limbs were as light and delicate. His mane shown like jet and flowed gracefully from hia neck to bis shoulders; hi3 ears were email perfection." He was— oh! he was all One of the mo3t important points investigated by every day horse buyers when selecting a racer or a horse for any purpose is, says the Sporting World, the eye of the anima'I inspected. Of course it is all important that the sight of a horse should be perfect, or his value is lessened to a greater extent than if troubled with other imperfections which are curable. The sight, as is known to all experts, cannot be improved upon as a general thiog, and a horse practically becomes valueless in open market if blind or even if its sight shows indications of imperfection. In reference to the subject, experts considered the matter at a meeting held some time ago, when the optic nerve of horses was the sub- ject under consideration. All horsemen should carefully consider views on such subjects. The report of the meeting of the experts reads as follows: We were discussing the eye before breaking off' to explain tbe mode of drenching animals. The Optic nerve seems to be the channel through which the impression is conveyed to tne nervous center, while another nerve is that through which the motor impulse is conveyed to the iris: but there is some ground for the idea that the fifth pair of nerves may, in some degree, convey the requisite stimulus when the optic nerve has been divided. That the dilation of the pupil is a mus- cular action appears probable from tbe fact that the radiating fibers of the iris are of the same character with the circular. In treating this subject we must not lose eight of the situa- tion of the eyes of the horse as contrasted with those of his master. The eyes of the former are placed laterally, the eyes of man in front of the face. We possess one advantage in being able to view very near ebjects which are situated in front of ns. but the advantage is a very small one. The horse has many advantages. He can take cognizince of objects both laterally and posteriorly placed. We cannot do bo with the same degree of accuracy. This is to be accoun- ted for from tbe fact that our eyes being anteriorly placed, and the eyes of the horse, as I said before, being situated laterally, together with the greater size of the globe in that animal- . The eye of man when compared to that of the horse is, 1 should imagine, similar to that of a small telescope and a large one, both complete in themselves, but the larger afford- ing a greater field than the smaller. The way to ascertain tbe seeing powers of a horse is to aim a blow at tbe bead when standing before him. It will be observed he will have some difficulty in warding it, and of judging of the distance it is from him. Not so when you stand at his side. Shying is caused in most instances by perfect vision, althoogh the generality of horsemen believe it is a trick or habit acquired from idleness, and they refer it to playfulness, skittisbness, I am forced to believe, from much practical experience among young horses, as well as those more advanced in years that in nineteen classes out of twenty the visual organ has not the power of perceiving things aright. There are several causes in operation to produce shying. I have known many with narrow and flat foreheads, possessing small ill shaped eyes, desperate and dangerous shyers. The shape of the corner has not been convex, but I have found it more prominent at one part than at another; they are what I have termed them," angularly convex." I have noticed a eimilar shaped eye in the bovine race; I dare say many persons have noticed the cows, when driven along a street.shy a good deal, which maj be accounted for from the fact that they meet objects they are unused to, and being excited their vision is less perfect than when they are in a tranquil The human family could tell of many odd sensations when running or excited if thev knew bow to do so. The horsey with the ill shaped eyes and foreheads are the worst shyers I have ever met with. ' Thev generally shy at water marks m the road, especially after dark. There are eyes which are prominent, and horses with eyes such as these are near- sighted- there are others with fiat eyes, although said to be so from old age. I don't find these animals shy as they Rrow old but the reverse. I think, as a general rule, if an eye is perfect in Youth and op to 8 or 12 years old, the possessor of that eye w'ill not be found to become a shyer, as these ani- mals are not often found so old as to have impaired vision. I have known hundreds of old horses that have not sbyed in their old age. The shaped forehead to which allusion was made has been found to exist in nervous and ill -tempered borees Wheu they are bad tempered and shyers to boot it becomes dangerous to drive them. They seem to make a point of starting at an object when there is no diffli the way, which becomea very annoying. I am not any writer having noticed this pecnlarity. NodonU dredsof veterians have made similar observation-, don't know of any such having been recorded. 218 %\xs %xu$L$x attd ^Bvtsxwm* Sept. 13 RACINE 1 :39 1-2. So many reoords have been broken this year, many of them by California horses, that a picture representing one that has a national reputation always haB more or less inter- est for the reader. It is but a few weeks ago that Salvator stonished the world by running a mile over the Monmouth s traight course in the remarkable time of 1:354. Naturally Oaiifornians felt highly elated to think that the champion of the world was owned in California, but there were a few who saw fit to deride the wonderful time made, their grounds being that a straight traok was not a proper one for a horse to make a record on; such being the oase the honors would then fall back on a California-bred and owned colt, Racine having negotiated the distance on a circular track at Washing- ton Park, Chicago, in the last week in June of this year, in 1:39*. It is a great pity that Racine has been very sick, for the Eastern turfites have had no chanoe to see what a re- markable three-year-old he really is. Pit and well, we believe that he is the peer of any horse ever raced in America. It is but a short time ago that we gave an account of his per- formances, and in connection with the pioture in tbis issue( it will not be out of place to republish the account of his races as then given. fact that he won by sis lengths from a field of good horses, the time being 1:02. On Thursday, April 25th, he was a contestant in the So So Stakes for two-year-olds, the slake to be named after the winner, if So So's time of l:14f was beat-' en; the beBt the bookmakers would put against him in this race was $10 to $100, and he won by four lengths in 1:14}, that being the time given out by tne judges, although scores of watches made the time 1:13|. After the good work per- formed by him in his spring form, he was given well merited rest, and did not again appear until the State Fair where on September 13th, he and four others fought out a spirited race for the Introduction Stakes. The three-fourths of a mile was easily completed in 1:15£, Racine's runner up being Flambeau from the same stable. He made a second appearance at the same m eting on Wednesday, September 18th, the California Autumn Stakes being the prize. There was only three start- ers and again Racine won in 1:15, Flambeau again being the runner np. At Stookton, on September 24th, in the five-eighths of a mile sweepstakes he won handily ih 1:01]-. On September 27th at the Bame place in a sweepstakes he was again success- ful, Flambeau being second and Jessie C. third. Time, 1:14|. At San Jose on Saturday, October 5th, he had no difficulty and he won in a canter by six lengths, the time being 1:42}. After the last performance mentioned, the running qualities of Racine were leased to the Undine Stable, and when tbat establishment started East Racine accompanied them. Un- fortunately for his new owner, Racine had been stricken out of alibis stake engagements, consequently he is only good for the Bmall purses which are hung up over night. His de- but was made at Chicago almost three months ago, he beating agood-field of horses, distance one mile, in 1:41. The story of his remarkable race made on Saturday, June 28th last, is still fresh in the minds of all our readers, and therefore it is unnecessary to give the details of that wonder- ful performance. As the matter Btands to-day, Racine has the acknowledged, mile record of the world on a circular track, and uutil that is beaten, will stand as one of the fast- est horses of his age. The following ere the blood lines of Racine: Racine by Bishop, dam imp Fairy Rose by Kisber, second • dam HipDolyta by King Tom; third dam Daughter of the Star by Kremlin; fourth dam Evening Star by Touchstone; 5th dam Bertha by Rubens; sixth dam Boadioea by Alexan- der, etc. Racine is owned by Senator Leland Stanford, who will S ' ■mm ii wmmm iiiiiiilliil ;i%:;-<) ■■■ i '":■ :^V;'^'-:' Racine's first appearance before an audience occurred at San Jose on Saturday, March 30, 1889, in the Debut Stakes for two-year-olds, in which there were only three starters. Pliney, the stable oompanion of Racine, won in the exoeed. logly good time of 49* seoonds, beating Guido by half a neok, Racine being two lengths behind the second horse. On the following Tuesday the subjeot of our sketch started again in the Motor Stakes, in which the same three horses started, and also Mr. Ashe'B Mirope; the five-eighths of a mile was ne- gogiatedin V.02J, Racine winning from Guido by three- fourths of a length. On Saturday, April 6tb, the same year, he started for the Lick House Stakes, three-quarters of a mile the contestants being the same as those in the Motor Stakes. Racine won handily by a length, Pliney also carry- ing the Palo Alto colors being a good second, in 1:16}. The next appearance of Racine was at the Spring meeting of the Pocifio Coast Blood Horse Association on April 20, 18S9 in which he started for the California Stakes, distanoa one-half mile. Six promising two-year-olds faced the flag, but again Racine had everything his own way, winning in ■4-S.', seconds. On Tuesday, April 3d, he was again seen, this time as one of the entries for the Select Stakes, five-eighths of a mile. By this time he had stamped himself such a favorite that 25 to 100 was the best that the bookmakers would lay againBt him, and that their judgment was correct was amply proven in the in defeating Marigold and Capt. Al, the three-quarters of a mile being completed in l:14f. Hi* last race in his two year old form was at the fall meet- ing of the Blood Horse Association, in which he started for the Antumn Stake, defeating a large field of two year olds, distance one mile, in 1:44. It will thus be Eeen that during the season of 1889 he lost only one race, and that the first in which he started, and from the wonderful speed shown by him afterwards, there are many who to this day believe he might have won even his initial race. As a three-year-old, his first appearance was at San Jose at the Spring meeting held there, bis competitors in the one mile sweepstakes being Senator Hearst's Baggage, Palo Alto's Muta and the Owen Bros.' Captain Al. Racine won the event by four lengths in the remarkable time, for that season of the year, of 1:421, During the Spring meeting of the Blood Horse Association, he was started as one of the contestants for the Tidal Stakes, but the Palo Alto Stable decided to win with Flambeau, and consequently Raoine had to take a second place, but to do it his rider had to see-saw the grand young colt all the way down the homestretch. For the Paoific Der- by the Bame thing occurred again, the stable desiring to win with Flambeau as before, Ricine hiving his head almost pulled off to prevent him beating his stable companion. At the Spring meeting at Sacramento he was started for the Weinstock -Luton Stakes, the distance being one mile, reserve him for servioe in the stud, but at present the colt is leased by the Undine Stable, the proprietors of which have him at Sheepshead Bay. At the time when Sinfax won the Pioneer Stakes at Helena Montana, Mr. Cy Mulkey, her owner, was ottered $5,000 for the colt by two different men, says the Oregonian. The Pioueer Stakes, $700, increased Siufax's winnings of regular purses to $3749.50. Tom Daly did pretty wtll himself, earning $1440 for Mr. Mulkey before he was sold for J 1000 at Butte. Mr. Mulkey sold him on account of his erratic disposition. He was a good deal-of trouble at the Btable, and everybody knows how Tom delayed scoring. He had to be turned by hand at the post, and Mr. Mulkey got tired being put in the light of being a hindrance to starts. Tim Murphy took in $1350 of the Montana purses. Mr. Mulkey says be thinks a great deal of his new acquisition, and well he may, aa the nimble roan tied Bo^ub for the world record, half mile »nd repeat, in 4S 48. The week before Murphy tied the record he ran iu 4S and 4SJ, and in the sec- ond handicap the weights were proposed by Mr. Mulkey and accepted by the other starters as follows: Murphy 118; Sunday 115; Red Elm 10S; The Jew 105; Bob Wade 118. It is a singular fact that Red Elm was the horse tbat forced both Bogus and Tim Murphy to make the great reoord. During the meetings of the circuit Mr. Mulkey started nineteen times, winning fifteen first moneys, three second and one third, which is quite a phenomenal record. His colors were pink and green, and he wan called the Irish Bta- ble by the turf men. 1890 %\iz %xzz&zx atxtl § yzixtsmuu. 219 The Humors of Racing- A few years ago, before book-betting bad become known in California, a certain well known trainer here, had occasion to visit Australia, having taken across a couple of trotters to take part in the twenty races at the opening of the Elstern- ■wiok Trotting Park, Melbourne. When he landed in Sydney the Spring meeting at Ran- wicke was in fall blast and of course he had to be there. The style of betting there was strange to him, as well as the man- ner and customs of the sporting fraternity, but what puzzled him most was the term '"bar one." He had left his horses at Fennelly's Bazaar on Pitt St., and he hailed with delight the appearance on the scene of the jovial Mike Fennelly him- self, who as trainer for the Hon. James White's runners, was of course present, having charge of the Derby favorite Segin- hoe. "Would you be kind enough to tell me," asked onr friend from the Golden Gate, "what sort of a horse this 'bar one' is that starts in every race?" Mike dropped at once to the joke and introduced him to an old Californian whom he had already posted. He led him into the paddock and pointed out Navigator. "Put me $50 on him" said the new chum. It was put on for him at 3 to 1 and Navigator won. In looking over the race card he was greatly surprised not to see the name of "bar one," the horse he had backed, and which had won. When the cat was let out of the bag no one laughed louder at the joke than himself and gladly opened several bottles of wine. ***** The first i«gular trotting meeting at Elsternwick Park was a surprise to Australians. The light sulkies (which they called carts) astonished them greatly and many bets were laid that the "carts" would break down before they got round the track. The boots, toe weights, etc, were also wonders, and when Startle came out all booted and accoulered, a native was heard to observe, '"Blast my colonial eyes if that black horse ain't been and robbed a'harness shop. He only wants a bloody pair of boots on his ears to make him perfect." But the three American horses showed them that they could trot, "harness shop" and all. * In Sydney one night, two well known horBe men were bantering each other about the respective merits of the hacks they rode. One of them, Noah Beale, the old time trainer for John Tait, that late father of the Australian turf in New South Wales, owned and rode a little chunky cob which would net ran a mile in three minutes. The other, Jack Smiley, rode a handsome blooded mare which he fancied could gallop fancy. After a lot of talk Beal said "I tell you what I'll do, Jack. I'll run you a mile race over the Rand- wioke course for §125, under these conditions. We both go to the post together but you will have to drink a quart of beer after the flag drops. This Bounds like a good thing for Smiley, as he knew he could dispose of a quart of ale before Noah Beale could get much of a start on him. The match was fixed for two o'clock the next afternoon, and lots of horsemen, having got wind of it, a large orowd was on hand to «ee the novel race, and odds of ten to one were offered on Bmiley's mare. Both men and horses were on hand at the appointed time, judges and starter were chosen and to the post they went. The start was to be made jnst opposite the grand stand, and there was Noah Beate's man in waiting with the quart of beer. He held it in a cloth, which seemed rather odd, but did not attract much attention. As soon as the flag drop- ped he handed the pewter mug to Smiley, while Beale was off as faBt as his fat cob would travel. Smiley grabbed the mug in a hurry and took one pull at it. He then commenced to spit and swear like a trooper— the ale was boiliDghot. Be- fore it was possible for him to drink it Beale had made the circuit of the track and came puffing in with a broad grin on his face. "Ginoe done me this time, Noah," wag all that Smiley said, but he vowed he would get even some day. Whether he ever did cannot be said, but for years after he was un- mercifully chaffed about that quart of ale. ■ * t * * "One of the most amusing sights I ever saw," said an old racing man, "was an amateur steeple chase at Rouen, Nor- mandy. The race waB run at the regular meeting, and the fences, as anyone knows who has been over there, are holy terrors. In front of the grand stand was a broad fence, four feet six in height with twenty feet of water the other side. This outrageous jump proved a sad stumbling block to the professionals and their trained horses, but to the amateurs, who were all officers of a French regiment, it was a regular Waterloo. Eight horses started and only one got over, though several riders did so minus their horses. The fortunate one landed in the middle of the water, but managed to scramble out somehow or the other, while the rest, at least the < is- abled ones, charged at the obstacle again and again in vain. Every horse balked and ibe riders did not Beem conspicuous- ly anxious to force them to jump. At last the man who had got over came around again (it was a two mile daBh) and was going full tilt at the fence, when lo and behold, hia horse stopped dead short and Bhot him head first over the boards and into the muddy water. This ended the race, and who got the handsome cup and; purse I could never find ont. Somehow or the other Frenchmen never make good cross country riders." jump into the flat, when both were pushed so hard that they fell and rolled over together, having canoned in rising at the fence. Both men were badly dazed, and in the heat and confusion mounted the wrong horses. Page, who was riding the Duke of Hamilton's Bomulns, mounted Mons Le Fiore's Frou Frou, while Jenkins jumped upon Romulus. They were both bay horsea with black points, and having been lately clipped looked muoh alike. Frou Froa won, and it was not until the jockeys went to weigh in that they discov- ered their mistake. After a long consultation the stewards decided to give the race to the first horse past the post, as both jockeys brought in their entitled weight. W. L. Eyre.

"Keep back in the yellow; come up on Othellol Hold hard on the chfstuut; turn round on The Dragl Keep back there ousp-.-nn: back you, sir, in Tartanl So, steady there, eas>!" and down went the flag. We started, und Kerr made strong running on Mermaid, Through funowB that led to the first stake — and bound, The crack, half extended, look' J bloodlike and splendid, Held wide on the right where the headland was sound. I pulled hard to baffle her rush with the snaffle, Before her two-thirds ot the field got away. All through the wet pasture where floods of the last year Still loitered, tbey clotted my crimson with clay. The fourth Once, a -wattle, floor'd Monk and Bluebottle; The Drag came to erief at the blackthorn and ditch ; The rails toppled over Redoubt and Red Rover, The lane stopped Lycdrgus and Leicestershire Witch. She paeBed like aD arrow Kildare and Cock Sparrow. And Mantrap and Mermaid refused the stone wall, And Giles on The Grayline came down at the paling, And I was left sailing in front of them all. I took them a burster, nor eased her nor nursed har Until the Black Bullfinch led into the plough. And through the strong bramble we bored with a scramble, My cap was knocked off by the hazel tree bough. Where furrows looked lighter I drew the rein tighter, Her dark chest all dappled with flakes of white foam, Her flanks mud bespattered, a weak rail she shattered, We landed on turf with oar heads turned for home. Then crash'd a low binder, and then close behind her. The Bward to th«* strokes of the favorite shook; His ruBh roused her mettle, yet ever so little She ahortened her stride as we raced at the brook. She rose when I hit her, I Baw the stream glitter; A wide scarlet nostril flashed close lo my knee; Between sky and water The Clown came and caught her, The space that he cleared was a caution to see. And forcing the running, discarding all cunning, A length to the front went the rider in green: A long strip of stubble, and then the big double. Two stiff flights of rails and a quickset between. She raced at the rasper, 1 felt my knees grasp her, I found my hands give to her strain on the bit. She rose when The Clown dla— our Bilks bb we bounded Brushed lightly, our stirrups clash'd loud as we lit , A rise steeply Bloping, a fence with stone coping— The last — w» diverged round tbe base of the hill. HIb path was the nearer, his leap was the clearer, I flogg'd up tbe straight and he led sitting still. She oame to bis quarter, and on atill I brought her, And up to his girth to bis breastplate Hbe drew ; A short prayer from Neville juet reached me, -'The Devil!" He muttered— lock'd level the hurdles we flew. A hum of boarBe cheering, a dense crowd careering. All sights seen obscurely, all shouts vaguely heard; "The green wins!" 'The crimsont" The multitude swim on, And figures are blended, and features are blurred. "The horse is her muter"; "Tbe green forges past her"; "The Clown will outlast her"; "TbeOlown Wins!" "The Olownl" Tbe white railing rares, with all the white faceB, Tbe chestnut outpai es, outstretches the brown. On still past tbe gateway she strains in the straightway, Still struggles "The Clown by a short neck at moqt"; He swerves the green scourges, the stand rocks and surges, And flashes, and verges, and flits tbe white post. Aye! bo ends the tuBsle— I knew the tan muzzle Was first, though the ring men were yelling "Dead beat." A nose I could swear by, bnt Uarke said, "The mare by A short headl" and that's how tbe favorite was beat. Adam Lindsay Gordon. Letter From Humboldt County. Notice to Horsemen- Wm. Boyd, the well known horsesboer, wishes to notify the public that he will be prepared to meet his old custo- mers and new ones, at the Stockton Race Traok during the fair. * I take pleasure in saying that when my horses were sick with what we called long fever, last spring I gave Simmons Liver Regulator (liquid) io one ounce doses, twice a day. They all recovered speedily .— E. T. Micheoer, Proprietor Mjchener's Express, Jenkintown, Pa, But one month intervenes before the fair, and it might be interesting to take a prospective view of the material to com- pose the speed programme, so far as known. There is now in training at the Rohnerville track four yearlings that are deserving of especial mention. For the general enlightenment of all, it might be well to announce in the beginning that there are breeders in Hum- boldt who study their business as carefully, and are as well posted, perhaps, as anywhere in the State. They have their pet breeding theories, and manifest a pride in their work that will eventually win for Humboldt stock a high reputation. Three of these colts beloDg to H. S. Hogoboom: Remember Me, Why Not and Unlucky. Remember Me, sired by Wal- atein, dam Gertrude by The Grand Moor; second dam Kate Tabor by Mambrino Messenger, Btrikes one at first by her beauty and symmetrical form. It is very evident she is a pet. The owner looks on her with pride akin to that bestowed upon a favorite child by a fond parent. Wide head, large, intelligent eyes, pricked ears, strong and muscular neck, in fact, every inch a splendid colt, and that she can trot quai- ters in 44 seconds is not to be wondered at. Whether at the coming fair last year's record, 2:56 by yearlings (Hogoboom's Saoramento Girl), will be broken, remains problematic. Why Not, sired by Walstein, dam by Tommy Benton, is a pert, gilt-edged youngster, doing quarters in 0:45. Unlucky, Bired by Prompter, dam Josie N. by Bedowin; second dam by Lesbie, is a colt of wonderful stride, broke the last of June, but shows a three-minute gait already. The fourth colt of this list, Dienus, is owned by N. Groton. Dignus is a well developed colt, showing a quarter in 0:35, was sired by Antevolo, dam by The Moor; second dam by Echo. Were it possible for these four colts to go together at the fair, those present would witness a phenomenal yearling race. Mr. Groton says "there are no yearlings that can out* step Dignus for the chance he has had." Mr. Groton has in training also for the fair Pete Steinway and Nancy Moor. The latter will compete in the three-year-old class; she is taking her work well. Poor Pete Steinway has participated in races under the greatest disadvantages, being an exceed- ingly unlucky horse, but his day is coming. He went a half in 1:13, and will do still better; look out for Pete. Mr# Groton is also working a promising Grand Moor colt, dam thoroughbred. This Moor, two years old, stands 16J hands high. Henry Haas, tbe popular horse trainer, has in charge Mazeppa, a three-year-old Poscora, owned by A. C. Roussin, Johnny Moor by The Moor, Damiana, a pacer, 2:27, Jolly Jogger, owned by Dr. Felt, a three- year-old mare owned by A. Leach, and Nellie Q , owned by Tom Quinn. All these will be heard from at the coming fair, as Haas has the repu* tatlon of being one of the best trainers on the coast, and these horses are well bred. Visiting the stables of Coleman, we find the well known Little Cap, winner of the half mile and repeat last year; Mollie G., sired by Sampson, dam by Morgan, three years old; Steel Gray, now at the Spring Meeting of the E. J. Club, and Cling, who went in the free-for-all last year with Ira and Patchen. The general opinion here is that Cling will go below 2:2S this year. Jeff Knight has three runnerB in training, the well known horse Stoneman and a two and a three-year-old colt sired by Joe Hooker, dam Bay Rose by Norfolk. These colts are full brother and sister to Tom Atchison, and will show their heels to .some of the fleet ones this fall. Tierney Bros, have Ella C, an Arthur H. two-year-old, who won two races in Eareka at the spring meeting. Sun Down by Arthur H., and Lewis P. The splendid bred horse Nighttime, owned by Robert Lath* erow, showed up badly in races ran so far, bnt is said to be getting down to work in tine shape. Rows & Norton have Farewell, four years old, by Thad Stevens, dam by Woodbury, and Birdie G. by Ironwood, dam by Ironclad, who came a close second in two races at Petro- lia. Davis & Crippin have G. W\, aired by Arthur H., dam thoroughbred, that held the record for best two minute class at one time, and a three-year-old, well bred, that has not been worked as yet. Several other Arthur H. colts are in training, and some of the best, perhaps, have not been mentioned. One particular tine colt, owned by Clark at Petroliu, went lame, and was turned out. This seems to be an unlucky season for horses in this oouniy. Pat Quino, of EureKa, had a good horse drop dead on the traok. A. C. Roussiu's Desdemona, that could go in 2;57 as a yearling, was turned out somewhat the worse for wear. Tbe rapid Sacramento Girl, that made a record as a yearling of 2:56 at the fair last year, has been under a cloud ever since, and is now jnst recovering from a severe case of some sort of epizooty, but has been for the last few days showing up her former self. A four-year-old Poscora, owned by B. H. McNeil, after two week's training, went a mile in 2:40 easily, bat accidentally wrenched a foot while playing, and had to be tnrned oat. However, there is material on hand for a decidedly interest- ing speed programme this year, especially runners. Never before has there been such an array of tine classes, every race will be hotly contested by horses of great speed, and the local young trotters will be watched with keen interest. The colts of Ira, Patchen, Poscora Hayward and Walstein are numer- ous, and the owners of tbose four great horsea will note care- fully the showing of their get, as every horse must stand or fall on the success of his colts. Ira and Patchen will pos- sibly be back to Humboldt to participate in the free-for-all trot. There are numerous other horses of more or lees notority about the county, but entries in the races is set for Septem- ber 1st, when the names and pedigrees wirl be forwarded to the Breeder -\m» Sportsman. Humboldt is looming op in the breeding of fleet racers and speedy trotters, and what with a teste for swift roadsters and men determined lo get the best breeding, the time is not fa- distant when the speed programme of the 9th District A-- ciation will be aecond to none in the State outside of 8acr mento. Sec. 9th Distbict Association. Rohnerville, Cal. 220 %]%* IPmte and jgprotsmaix. Sept. 13 OAKLAND. FKIDAY, SEPT. 5, The races were much better attended than on any of the previous days, the bangtails attracting a large and gaily dressed crowd of ladies and their escorts. The judges were Dr. Latham, G. Van Gordon and J. N. Bailhache. Starter, W. Coombs. The programme inolnded four running races and the unfinished trot; in the latter Lena H. had one heat to her credit, Prince B. two and Mattie P. two. Prince B. Bold in the pools for $20 against $25 for the other two, and when the trio came out at one o'clock, very little betting was done at that rate of odds. When the word was given Prince went off at a rapid gait, and never left the issue in doubt, winning all the way, passing under the wire fifteen lengths in front of Mattie P., who jaBt beat Lena for the place after a hard fight. Time, 2:29. Mntuals paid §10 on the heat. The first running race, for two-year-olds, was a complete facer for the talent, as the erratic Duke of Milpitas, getting the worst of the start, never showed prominently except in the rear, while Nero, the Palo Alto oolt, in a hood and blink- ers, waB well in front at the head of the stretch when he bolted to the outside fence and destroyed Mb chance, the two Three Cheers fillieB, Mystery and Acclaim, both beating him. The repeat was supposed to be between Lida Ferguson and Ida Glenn, but the former had evidently not recovered from her punishing race of Wednesday, and Ida Glenn was beaten after a close finish by Gambo in the first heat, and Vinco in the second, the Boots' geiding Vinco winning the run off in a oanter. The mile and one-Bixteenth was expected to be a good thing for Tycoon, but the gelding, who was run into by Den- Dison's horBo two days before, had a slightly enlarged ten- don, and Dr. Carpenter, who was called in, strongly advised his owner not to risk him in the race, the judges, therefore, allowed him to be drawn. The race itself was one of the most perfect surprises of the year for Hotspur, who went bigging in the overnight betting at one dollar in a hundted and forty, went to the front after passing the half, and won the race cleverly, the favorite, Captain Al, finishing a fair leoond. The last race of the day proved the good thing it looked for Applause, who won all the way. First race, six furlongs, for two year olds, bad Bis entries, and Nero, the Palo Alto colt, had bo easily beaten his oppo- nents on Wednesday in the J. D. Carr purse, five furlongs, that, despits a three pound penalty, he was made a red hot favorite at $40 to $20 for the eccentric Duke of Milpitas, and $10 for the others as a field. The horses were delayed at the post a short time by the Duke, who refused to join them, but getting him well under way, the flag was dropped with him two lengths behind. Minnie B jumped off in front, with Mystery and Acclaim at her neck, and Nero a length back. Mystery, Acclaim and then Nero passed Minnie B. The colt going fast went past the other two with a rush on the turn, being a length in front of Mystery, Borne distance in advance of Acclaim, two lengths in front of the rest. Nero when in lead, trotted for the outside fence at the head of the stretch, and spoilt his chance as Morton, never letting up on My a tery, got well away from him, and keeping the filly going cleverly by three lengths, Acclaim second a head in front of Nero. Time, 1.15. Mntuals paid $41.10 straight, $34 Mys- tery a place, and $17.80 Acclaim a place.

First heat— The four starterB, Lida Ferguson, Ida Glenn, Gambo and Vinco made a lively betting race, Ida Glenn sell- ing for $110, while Ferguson brought $55 and the field $20 The flag was dropped the first time up, Gambo having a length the best of Glenn, who was two lengths in front of Ferguson and Vinco; round the turn the order was Gambo, Glenn and Ferguson, a length of daylight between each of them, and Viloj three lengths back. Down the stretch Glenn and FergUBon collared Gambo ani Btayed with him to the drawgate, when Ferguson gave it up, and Glenn, ridden hard, was beaten half a length, Vinco third and Ferguson pulling up fourth. Time, 0:4Si. Mntuals paid $34 40. Second heat. The field now sold favorite at $50 to $40 for Glenn and $16 for Fergusson. The flag was soon dropped with Vinco in the lead and going right along he went round the turn two lengths in front of Fergusson, a length in front of Ida Glenn with Gambo two further back. Fergusson was neok and neck with Vinco at the head of the stretch, but the gelding kept up his pace and she gave it up at the draw- gate, while Glenn who came with a rush was again too late, beaten a head, Gambo three lengths back. Time, 0:60+-. Mntuals paid on the field $8.40. Third heat. Pools now sold, Gambo $70 to $42 for Vin- co. Gambo jumped away quickest, leading three lengths to the turn when Vinco went up to him and entering the stretch drew away from him, winning in a gallop by three lengths. Time, 0:51$.

Tycoon who had been a hot over night favorite was drawn lame by permission of the judges and pools sold at a very lively rate, Captain Al bringing ¥80 to Lorline $42, Raindrop $40 and the rest as a field $45. When the flag was dropped all were well under- way Fannie F. being quickest on her feet took the rails lead- ing a length round the turn with Muta a length baok and Lurline a length further behind, the reBt in a bunch at the quarter pole. Lurline had gone right up to Fannie and they were running head and head a length in front of Raindrop with Muta close up and Hotspur in front of the others . Den- nison roused Hotspur np and passing the leaders just after the half the brown stallion led round to the turn swinging into the stretch three lengths in front of Lurline with Fannie F. next and Captain Al closing up. Deonison never let np on Hotspur and vigorously applied whip and spur all the way down the stretch won by a length with Captain Al hard ridden second four lengths in front of Fannie F., Muta and Lurline, Raindrop laBt, Time, 1:48.

Smith The attendance was much better than than the previ- ous days of the fair, and though the three races were not particularly exciting, every one seemed satisfied. The first race was practically a walk over for Sister V., who won with ease after losing the first heat to Wanda. The second race was an almost equally good thiDg for Maggie E, while the gentlemen's race did not attract much attention, the only feature in it being the fact that Havey, the Palo Alto driver was up behind one of the pacers, Ihe other drivers all agree- ing. Dr. Walker, however, won the race in easy style. The ladies tournament, which should have preceded the races, had no entries. First race. — The Directors' 2:24 purse had five Btarters: Sister V., Wanda, Pink, Guide and Kedwood. Sister V. had beaten the others so easily every time this year thet there were very few pools sold at $50 to $10 for the whole field. When the word was given Guide and Pink went out in front but Pink broke before the turn and Wanda going fast on the turn passed the quarter even up with Guide three lengths in front of Sister, a length in front of Pink, seven lengths in front of Kedwood. Sister broke on the backstretcb and dropped back while Wanda passed the half with Guide at her sulky wheel and Sister eight lengths back with Pink close up, The order was unchanged round the turn except Pink passed SiBter and the leading four turned into the stretch three lengths apart. PiDk closed up fast but broke badly a furlong from home and Wanda won easily by three lengths, Guide four lengths in front of Pink, three ahead of Sister, five lengths in advance of Redwood. Time, 2:24. Mntuals, Sister barred, paid $7.55. Sacond heat — A few pools were sold at $40 for SiBter to $15 for the field. After scoring up several times the word was given with Redwood two lengths back: Sister went out in front to the turn when she broke and dropped back laBt, Wanda going paBt the quarter a length in front of Pink, three lengths ahead of Guide, four lengths in front of Sister with Bedwood who broke on the turn five lengths behind. Wanda increased her lead to two lengths at the half with Pink and Guide head and head two lengths in front of Sis- ter, Pink, Guide and Sister close np on AVanda being only half a length behind at the head of the stretch; Pink broke all to pieces and Sister went on winning easily by three lengths, Wanda seoond three lengths in front of Guide, foor lengths in advance of Pink with Redwood jast inside the flag. Time, 2:22. Mutuals paid on Sister $7.25 with SiBter barred $8.60. Third heat. "Very few pools were sold at $30 for Sister to $6 for the field. A start was soon made with Sister in front and trotting very steadily; she was never headed, winning easily by three lengths. Wanda and Guide made a pretty race for the place until the head of the stretch when Pink joined them, but Wanda got the place by a length, Pink two lengths in front of Guide. Time, 2:22J. Mutuals paid $8.95 on Wanda. Fourth heat. No poolB were sold.

The crowd at Oakland was again very large, but still there was plenty of room for those who were there. Four races were on the programme and produced several lively contests. The first was an easy thing tor Nero, who, displaying none of his bolting propensities, won in good style from the two Three Cheer's fillies. The second race, one mile and one hundred yards selling race, was conceded on all hands to be a good thing for Applause who romped home tbree lengths m front of Laighetta. The five furlong scramble had seven starters — or would be starters, or after wasting a lot of time the flag was dropped with four of them standing still, and there was only one in it for Gambo had two lengths tha best of the start, and though Kildare made a game finish he could never quite get there. The mile and a quarter had eight horEe3, the Palo Alto crack Peel being thought to be a good'.thing but after getting pocketed on the lower turn he never seemed to have pace enough to come through. First rac9. Only three two-year olds came out for the seven furlongs. Nero was made a strong favorite, selling for $35 to $14 for Mystery and $7 for Acclaim. The flag was dropped with the two fillies three lengths in front of Nero and ran in the same order to the half. Nero then closed up all three being level on the turn, when Nero went on and won in a clever style by three lengths, Mystery two lengths in front of Acclaim. Time, 1:27$. Mutuals paid $8:15. SUMMARY.

Tbe concludiog day of the Golden Gate Fair was not over well attended on account of the Native Sons' parade and the many other attractions, and equally also on account of the programme trot there teing really only one race, the 2:40 nomination, which was roddily won by Silas Skinner. Before the first heat was trotted a protest was lodged against tbe gait of Silas Skinner, and in the third heat, after finishing a length in front of Beaory lie, the judges called it a dead heat between the two, giving as their reason that he was set back twice the distance he gained. The decision was not particularly well received among horsemen, being as the late Dundreary said (one of those things that no fellow can understand.' Surely the horse should have been first or last was the unanimous opinion of t be spectators includ- ing Mr . I. De Turk. The Gentleman's Drivin g Association race attracted no attention from the general public. The judges were Dr. Lathom, C. 8. Crittenden and W, Kent Timers, P. C, Pnmyea, H. J. Agnew and L. J. Rose. The first race for the 2:40 class had closed with 13 nominations, I. De Turk's Silas Skinner, Undine Stable's Beaury Mc, B C. HlIIj's Charles Derby, Sid Mateo Stock Farm's Una Wilkes aud E. B. Gifford's Bob MaBon were the starters. On tbe strength of his easy win at Napa, Silas Skinner wau made a hot favorite, selling for $40 to $18 for Beaury Mc and $20 for the field. After scoring up tbree times the word was given. Skinner broke before the turn, and Derby, who bad tbe pole, set the pace round the turn, passing the quarter in 0:34£, a length in front of Beaury Mc, four lengtbs in advance of Mason just clear of Skinner. Beaury Mel collared Derby, and they passed the half in 1;10, head and head, with Skinner five lengths back, and Mason three lengths further behind, just clear of Una Wilkes. Derby broke on the torn, and Skinner passed him, and though he skipped at the head of the stretch, he did not lose by it, and trotting very fastdown the Btretch, he caught Beaury at tbe drawgate and beat him out two lengtbs, Beaury Mo five lengths in front of Una Withes, a length aud a half in front of Mason, with Charles Derby last. Time, 2:21. Mutnals paid $11. Second heat — Pools sold rapidly at Skinner $110, Beaury Mc $11 and tne tield $16. When the word was given Skin- ner went out in front and set the pace so fast that Una Wilkes and Mason both broke on the turn, Mason going all to pieces. Meanwhile Skinner kept going, passing the quar- ter in 0:34, with Beaury Mc three lengths buck, and Una six lengths further behind. Skinner kept going, passing the half in 1:11, two lengths in front of Beaury Mc, ten lengths in advance of Una Wilkes, twelve lengths ahead of Derby and ten lengths in front of Mason. The order waB unchanged. to the drawgate, when Beaury Mc closed up a little, but left his feet just before the wire, losing by a length and a half, with Una Wilkes twelve lengths back and Derby a bad fourth, Mason barely inside the flag, Time, 2;20A. Matuals paid $6 90. Third heat — Pools sold slowly at $50 for Skinner to $10 for the whole tield. The word was given at tbe sixth time up, with Mason two lengths behind. Derby broke at once, and was pulled almost to a standstill before he caught, while Skinner went on, passing the quarter a length and a half in front of Beaury Mc, seven lengths behind was Una, three lengths in front of Mason, twenty lengths ahead of Derby. Skinner broke, running twenty yards, and catohing, retained his lead, being at the half in l:llff two lengths in front of Beaury Mc, who was eight lengths ahead of Una. The order was unchanged all through; Skinner was np and down again handily a furlong from home, winning the heat by a length, Beaury Mo second, fifteen lengths in front of Una, with Mason close up to her and Derby juBt inside. The judges placed Beaury Mo and Skinner a dead heat. Time, 2:2]J. Mutuals paid $8 05 on the field and $3.35 on Skin- ner. Fourth heat— Pools Bold slowly at $40 for Skinner to $10 for the field. After about a dozen false starts the word was given, with Mason behind. Beaury Mc was a length in front on the turn, but Skinner went to the fore before the quar- ter, and up the backstretch the black horse was two lengths in front, Beaury Mc, with Una Wilkes, three lengths back, Bnd MaBon ten lengthB behind and in front of Derby, who broke at the end of three furlongs. The order was un- changed all through. Skinner winning cleverly by a length and a half, Beaury Mc four lengths in front of Una Wilkes, seven lengths in front of Mason. Time, 2:24. Mutnals paid $8.45.

The big horse was not expected to equal his record as he has only been worked for a short while, but made a remarkably good showing. In the fast mile the Btallion waa sent away in good Bhape, passing the quarter in 0:34.1, the half in 1:08$, three-quarters in l:42i and quickened up down the stretch, but tip-toeing at the drawgate Goldsmith took him back, finishing the mile in 2:17J. The second mile wbb done with remarkable evenness, being readily accomplished in 2:20, the half in 1:10. Mr. Rose, who was present, said that he thought it was an exceptionally good showing for his erst- while pet, while the present owner, Mr. Hobart, was more than pleased. The meeting wound up with a race for members of the Oakland Gentlemen's Driving Association. Very little in- terest was taken in the event which was won by Charles Baab's Pet who took the first, third and fourth heats. SUMMARY/.

An article on the scale of points now will not come amiss, as the interesting season of fairs and established fall meet- ings in the country approaches, bnt the donbt asBails me whether I am competent to elaborate the matter successfully and beneficially as it ought to be done for the novice, if for none others. I presume that in all sections of the land, as well as in my vicinity, the laity often inquire of some one whom they expect to know more of applying the scale than others do, "How does the scale of points work? How do you apply it?" The first answer I give is: Gentlemen, try it yourselves. One attempt for yourselves will give you an idea of what is required. This effort calls their attention and study to the structural points, and that they must acquire a practical knowledge of the twenty or more anatomical structures that, united, con- struct the horse — body, head, legs, etc This only can be accomplished by '.practice of observation, '.investigation and comparison. Select this, that and as many animals as yon have time to study — healthy horses, unsonnd horses, well bred horses and grades — observe the entire structure, inves- tigate the segregated parts and compare. Some persons have quick sight, accurate feel and prompt, correct judg- ment*, others require the eye and the hand to be educated and the senses developed; and this advanced eduoation is possible to most lovers of animals. It has oftentimes sur- prised me to Bee how closely individuals — even non-profes- sionals— have agreed in general results with their sizing marks and additions. Slight defects and advantages of one part escaping the eye and hand of one, and slight advantag- es aud defects of another part escaping the eye and band of the other, but on consultation and comparison the sums to- tal approximated. Having acquired a definite knowledge of the structural points, we look into the tout ensemble, the whole animal, standing, moving, at rest and in motion, the symmetry, style and carriage. These require eyes and senses natural or ed- ucated. An eye and hand conversant only with the ox per- ceive beanty and merit in all fat horses equally and alike, but the practical eye and learned sense discern discriminate beau- ties and differential merits, en masse, and then in detail, or in detail, then en masse. The next answer is the most difficult and the least appre- ciated, although pedigree is gradually enforcing its impor- tance and study. This iB not inexplicable. Knowledge of pedigree is an immense task, the books, writings and data are not generally distributed, and our laity ate too apt to think this learning not commensurate with the expense, yet, honor to Wallace, et al, this knowledge is gradually— too slowly — though surely reaching and impressing our farmers and our business men and our every-day horsemen, so that oft, ten timeB as often as in years gone by, is heard the in- quiry: How is your horse bred? wbat has he done? Excep- tional, too, aB it once was, now is frequently inquired: What was the dam? Encouraging signs of the stronghold which pedigree is gaining in the equine interests of the day. There are several thoroughly established sires and well se- lected mares tbat most horsemen are pleased to give tbe highest marks. It is safe, in consideration of their ante- cedents, surroundings, and post facts to give the highest merit and a constant number; their wealth bas been funda- mentally and positively proven; their potency and prepo- tency are developed in their offspring, and thus meritorioua families have been segregated into leading families, the ram- ifications of whose blood lines mast affect immediate and remote concubinage. The pedigree of oor leading sires and damB judiciously acquired, we can without any very wide divergence of opinion and judgment locate the starting points from which we will proceed, pro ratio, with our knowlenge %o investigate and apply the scale of points on pedigree. A comprehensive recollection of the distinctive families, Ham- bletonians, Mambrino Chiefs, Clays, Stars, Pilot Jre., Edwin Forresta, et al; a thorough study of the individuality of the particular animal, his male and female relatives among the leading families. Then an analytical conception of the blood crosses; what has been the result of such and such crosses; the advance or the deterioration, has the mating been well or bad. Experience here is teacber and a good one. Study up the Almonts, the Belmoots, the Onwards, the Kentucky Princes, ihe PrincepB, et al, and the Dollys, the Neds, the Green Mountain Maids, the Black Floras, the Emelinee, et al. Also, fnrtber on the Nutwoods, Almont Jra., Daniel LambertB, Dr. Heirs, et al. Thus i* required the synthetical application of all onr study and inquiry to the horse before ub; his history; the status of his "sire and dam and ancestor; the orosB from which his blood results, and biB own form, size, build, color, gait, disposition, intelligence, health, action, compared with his relatives. Then comes performance, tbe 2:30 list being the' object of speed breeding. This is not of tantamount im- portance with our farmers, although they love to approaoh it. A horse may get into this list with scant performances, or slovenly, or he may go in with eclat or in a hotly con- tested race. Two horses, with the same lime below 2:30, would be justly marked different, tbe lower they trot the higher tbe mark; the better, the freer, more stylish and easy they go the higher the mark. Some with boots and weights, some without, some with artibcial appliances, and Borne in nature's habiliments, differing marks necessarily represent I the performances, as juBtice requires to discriminate between our athletes, one with stimulus, the other without; one is himself and something more, the other 1b himself only. Lastly, the character of the offspring must be investigated, and here it is necessary to apply all the knowledge we have heretofore used. Are they healthy, well formed? Have they tbe characteristics of the families? In fact, are they worthy sons of worthy tires? Are they neat and tidy daughters of excellent mothers? Which Bide of the house marks the child? Do tbe best or worst points of the sire and dam pre* dominate? It is similar to the review of a book, it is a resume of all your study and learning of tbe animal. When we have acquired all this ready for use, the markrf will follow with pretty certain fairness and justness in our applying the scale of points. — 'Wallace's Monthly. Our Los Angeles Letter. The trotting horsemen have had plenty to talk about dur* ing the past week. The principal morsel of news waa Wal- ter Maben's retirement from Rosemeade. This event created a genuine surprise on all sides, as Maben was regarded aB & life fixture at Rosemeade. He has grown up in the employ of L. J. Rose and has won his spurB in many a gallantly fought battle down the line. Maben stands to-day the peer of any driver in handling sultans and his BucceBB at Rose- meade has resulted in many prominent breeders all over the United States making flattering offers for his services. As the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman are doubtless aware, L. J. Rose has gone into the thoroughbred bueinese on a very extensive scale and his trotting interests, owing to the last annual Bale are not what they used lo be. As I un- derstand it, Mr. Rose heard that Walter had received a big offer from an Eastern breeder and feeling that he could not afford to pay that amount for the handling of his few colts and not wishing to stand in the road of Maben's advance- ment he very magnanimously told Maben to aocept any bet- ter position that might be offered him. There are other stories floating around in regard to Maben's quitting Rose- meade, but they are of a very contradictory nature. As soon as it became generally known that Walter Maben had retired from Rosemeade, there was a big rush to secure his services. Among the local breeders who wanted his ser- vices were Dr. K. D. Wise and J. W. Robinson. The former gentleman offered him $300 a month for five years. Mr. Robinson also made a most generous offer which has not yet been made public. An Eastern breeder was to the front with §400 a month. I labor under tbe impression that Walter Maben will remain in Southern California. Here it was where he first gained a national reputation by defeating Arab with Stambonl and securing a mark of 2:15 for the great son of Sultan. Mr. Maben has been with L. I. Rose for many years and has always been a faithful worker, and probably no one appreciates this fact more than the owner of Bose- meade. Harry Rose will hereafter look after the Rosemeade youngsters. Another story has been going the rounds for several dayB past. It is in effect that Dr. K. D. Wise and W. H. Wilson of Abdallah Park fame have formed a partnership to conduct a large breeding farmin Southern California. Dr. Wise has an extensive ranch on the road to Rodondo and haB purchasBd a number of broodmares in the past year. Mr. WiIbod is to bring out several carloads of trotters from his Kentucky es^ tabliBhment. I met Dr. WiBe and broaohed the subject of the deal. While he did not affirm that such was the case, yet he let fall enough to state that such a deal is contempla- ted. At all events, the Doctor's anxiety to secure Maben shows (he way the wind is blowing, especially when it is considered that Mr. Wilson owns Sultan and has been known to express the opinion that Maben could handle them to bet- ter advantage than any driver in the land. The Eleventh Annual Fair of the Sixth District Agricul- tural ABsooiation lakes place at Los Angeles Oct. 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th. The programme has just been issued and is a very liberal one, considering that it is the second meeting inside of ten weeks. The "Blue Ribbon" meeting was such a success and gave such universal satisfaction that a big entry list is confidently expected. The Secretary of the Association has paid particular attention to the condi- tions'of the running raoea so that all horses will have a fight- ing chance. The weights in the handicaps at the last meet- ing were adjusted with such good judgment that horse own- ers will not hereafter hesitate to enter in handioap events in Los Angeles.

I Bpent the months of March and April, 1858, in the oity of New Orleans, and attended the Metairie races every day bat one. On that night I came home to the St. Charles Ho. tel, where I found an immense crowd in the rotunda, some of whom said, "Isn't it wonderful?" while others said, "Well, I don't believe it." On inquiriDg the cause of these Conflicting oomments, I was told that Mr. Richard's Ten Broeck's bay filly Prioress (afterwards winner of the Cesar- ewitch in England) had won a mile race in 1:45. There was no end of dissenting comments on the performance. A few years later I saw Idlewild cover the same distance at Louis- ville in 1:44 J. end there were just as many doubters then as at New Orleans on the previous occasion. Then came the Blow and sure whittling down of the mile record by Mammona, 1:44J; Legal Tender, 1:44; Versailles, Herzog and Pompey Payne, all sons of Vandal, and each ran in 1:43£; Judge Curtis, 1:43; Alarm, l:42i; and ao along till Ten Broeck went out to "break the watch," and did so in 1:39$. I knew Salvator was vastly improved over his Suburban form; and lastly, because the race was to be run with a fly- ing start instead of a standing start like the Australian horses do it. Moreover, Salvator was to have the track all to himself, with nothing to interfere with him, while Frying- pan waited till the last available instant and then ran through a field of eleven horses. Had I been a bookmaker, knowing how Salvator had ontstripped all suoh contemporary horses as Longstreet, Proctor Knott, Galen and Spokane, I should have selected 1:37 J as the mark and then laid odds on, rath- er than quit betting. Bat I am free to confess that 1:35A rather surprised me. When I was a boy I was told that Bay Middleton did a mile (private trial) in 1;35, which I would now be quite willing to believe, although I oannot trace it to any authentic source. A picture of Salvator lies before me, and in it I see a decided likeness to two famous Australian colts whose two- year-old performances were immense — Matador and Abercorn. Matador won, the only time they ever came together, but Abercorn was unquestionably the better horse. There is a resemblance, and a very striking one, between these famous cracks, and now Salvator nukes it three-handed, Bave that he is a leggier horse than either of the two famous Australians. McDoeVs Defeat at Buffalo. There has been a good deal of chatter about the 2*22 race at Buffalo. The heat winners were McDoel, Mambrino Maid and Voncher. The other starters were Golden Rod, Yorktown Belle, Wonder and Prank B. This was a formidable field, says the Tnrf, Field and Farm. McDoel was the favorite and he won the first heat in 2:20]-. Mambrino Maid secured the second heat in 2.19] and the third heat in 2:214-. Voucher stepped to the front in the fourth heat in 2:21^, and was Bent off badly in the fifth heat, won by Mambrino Maid in 2:21 J. It was a fighting race from first to last. Hickok drove McDoel, and when the tide was running against him the judges asked him if he could not do better. He replied that he was doing the best he could with the horse, bat wonld be glad to surrender the reins to any one who could win with him. Djble was then interviewed, and he explained that Hickok was driving at his request and for his money. Doble had asked Hickok to get behind McDoel because Ed An- nan; and Jack were engaged the same day, and he was very anxious to win with both. He argued that it would be un- just to compel him to drive three nerve-racking races the same afternoon, and added that he wanted to keep himself ag p&Ebir^ ^£poR,rs lii'-i-!^;::;^--;^:,-:^'^ ;''-;;''' JOOi Last year a mare called Maori did a mile in a race inside of 1:40, but had a very light weight on her. This year the fast mile horses were out in full force. Racine, a California bred colt from Palo Alto, drove the center in 1:39 J, and then Eavaloe, one of the get ot Joe Hooker, lowered it to 1:39}. It was at this second demonstration that Mr. Haggin an- nounced his intention of sending Salvator to beat the mile record. On the morning of that day people were talking aboat the probabilities of Silvator's accomplishing the fact, and asked me what I thought about it. I never doubted what I heard about Australian performances — that Fryingpan did a mile in 1:38J with llSlbs. np, for I knew that he won a mile race with 141 lbs. op in 1:42|, beating Don Quixote, 108 lbs. and Malna, 119 lbs. Hence, when I was asked what I thought about the attempt, I said I thought he would do it in about 1:37. Everybody said 1 was crazy. They would bet even money against 1:38}, but not a man would bet me 60 to 20 pgainst 1;37. My reasons for these predictions were first, that he car- ried 31 pounds less than Fryingpan on his famous 'perform- ance at Flemington; second, because the race was to be run upon a made track, instead of turf; third, because it was to »>e done on a straight course without a turn; fourth, because Yet this goe3 for nothing. Kingston, Blink Bonny, Flying Dutchman and Priam, were all very leggy horses, and as for Bay Middleton (who coald have ran over and killed any two of them), he was absolutely a weed. The outlines of Salvator are almost of the poetic order. The neck is strong, but so long as to preserve its symmetry. The head is large, and yet so exquisitely moulded as to appear small. The shoulder rakeB beautifully backwards, the barrel is round and full. The stifles are heavy enough for a quarter-horse, but the muscles of the gaskins are so long strung out, that the capability of going a long distance is amply secured. Take him for all in all, he is the highest type of an Amerioan race-horse whose maternal veins are reinforced with the riohest of all the choice life-ourrents of England. His breeding is exceptionally good, being by the English horse Prince Charlie, the "King of the T. Y. C'out of Salina by Lexington; 2d dam Lightsome by Glencoe; 3d dam Levity (dam of Ruric) by Trustee; aud 4th dam the dam of Alaric by Tranby. To this family trace Vandal, Hindoo, Hanover, Luke Blackburn, George Kinney, and scores of other race-horses, the very pick of the American stud. That such a horse is certain to become the sire of great raoers and many of them, 1b no vague conjecture. It is manifest destiny. T. B. M. fresh as possible for the Jack-Palo Alto race. The desire was earnest on the part of Doble to beat Rosalind Wilkes, Susie S. and Palo Alto with Jack, and the judges knew how the great reinsman, throwing his whole soul into a cloBely contested race, was likely to exhaust himself. Being assured by Doble that the driving of Hickok was perfectly satisfactory to him, the judges did not feel called upon to order a change. If we cannot believe a man like Budd Doble, who has spent a lifetime in building up a reputation for hon esty, who can we believe? The anarlers who have sent libels broadcast, act as if they wished to create the impression tbaj the only men in the world with the slightest pretentions to integrity are themselves. A lonely island in the sea, entirely out of touch with the throbbing heart of humanity, is the proper place for them. They are too sweet and pure for the practical walks of life. The programme for the eleventh annual fair, to be held at Los Angeles on October 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18th, will appear in the next issue of the Breeder and Sportsman. The association offer $1,000 for the 2:19 class trottinR and $800 for both the 2:23 aud 2:28 class. The side-wheelers eligible to the 2:17 class October let can compete for a $600 purse. The principal running race is the three-quarter mile handi- cap, for a purse of $700. 1890 Ita 'gvtz&zx awu* j^ovismati. 223 THE FARM. Blue-Grey Cattle. Referring to eccentricities in cattle, Mr. Wm. Hausman in the Agricultural Gazette, London, England, Pays: When we see a harlequin-spangled Shorthorn bull, or a red Shorthorn cow, with four white legs and a whita stripe down her face, perhaps extending over one cheek, or of a very dirty sort of yellow — roan color, we are told, nsnally, that "a good beast is never of a bad color"— a fallacy which nobody wonld for one moment think of accepting if the words ■conveying it had not the ring of a proverb about them. We need not go far into many good herds to seek for a good beast of a bid color, nor, finding snch a beast, need we think ourselves in any strait if we wish to do justice to its mer- it, whilst we frankly recognize the drawback of an unfortu- nate color. We must, in bare justice, say the animal is good, and in candor allow that its color is bad, thus virtually de- iiying the proverb. In certain districts, however, there is another piece of "proverbial philosophy," which is possibly founded on fact and observation — that is, that "a blue breast is never a bad .one." In those parts of Scotland and the north of England where Shorthorn blood often mingles with that of a black Scotoh freed — mostly within the present writer's knowledge, with that of either the West Highland or Polled Galloway — "bine" is often found, and is always popular, always pounced upon by buyers in market or fair. It is the common result ol an even.or almost even, union of black and white, in broken mixture, as the yellow roan in the early Shorthorn coming from mixiog of white and fa'low red, the rich roan from the blending of dark red and white, and the deep, bloomy, ripe-plum roan, from the same union with a dash of black. Whether the excellence of "blue" cattle is merely fancied, whether there 1b any correlation of that color and , good dairy and grazing propertiee, or whether the blue or bine-gray usually accompanies and betokens a happy blend of such breeds, it certainly has the credit of being the in* fallible sign of thorough usefulness. If correlation be the true season, why should not an at- tempt be made to multiply blue grays, or even to fix the color as the distinguishing color of a breed? It might be difficult to do so, no doubt; not less difficult than getting • roan Shorthorns or gray Herefords to breed true to color, as I there is io nature, whether in the wild or. cultivated state, a f tendency to let go the band that unites hostile powers. Thus, when the antagonize colors black and white, or red and white, are mixed in broken bine-gray or roan, those antag- onistic colors are inclined to separate and reappear as they were so that in the offspring of two blue-gray animals, two roan Shorthorns, or two gray Herefords reversion to the several component colors is very often found. My suggestion, however, about the possibility of advan- tageously tixing the blue-gray color must not be regarded as much more than a play of fancy, or an aside thought, for I assume that breeds generally, and their colors, are brought oat and established rather under the influence of converging conditions than by deliberate design or working up to results wholly foreseen and intended, although their improvement is doubtless always the result of premeditation. The wants of a district, in course of time — peace permitting — cause the development of the breed most suited to that district, by forcing the choice of the breeders collectively, and forcing it continuously in one direction. Thus we get the raw ma- terial of a distinct breed; and then there are always some breeders in advance of their fellows in taste and intelligence I who designedly select for the finishing touches. The piece of marble is rough-hewn from the block by the common lab- ■ orer, and again dressed to the required dimensions by I hands without artistic skill, before the sculptor's genius, by I delicate touches of the chisel, brings out the beauty of the I human form and the silent expression of the human passion. The highest types of our live stock are indeed marvelous and beautiful results of design, patiently wrought out; but the designer who gave the finish had the raw material already at hand, and that raw material came to hand in the ordinary course of business, under the law of demand and supply. Whether the "blue doddie" of the north, a smallish, short- legged, tidy, handy beast of compaol form, nice springy flesh, and excellent dairy powers, or the usual medium- sized and horned blue-gray, equally useful for beef or milk, will either of them ever form a breed, both, assuredly, are at present, at least, local favorites as cross-bred cattle. They aie found to be very healthy, hardy, profitable stock, and are examples of the abundant good material we have around us for future work. We hear people talk about the decline of breeds. Why, we could have a hundred new breeds, if we wanted tbem, out of the materials lying all around us, and a few years of concentration would secure constanoy of type- m_ The Textile Record on the Wool Market- The journal named says, in a review of the past month: All domestic wool markets have continued quiet. The sup- port given to values by the expectation of tariff legislation has been perceptibly weakened by the delay of the McKinley bill in the Senate, and prices of most descriptions have receded 1 to 2 cents per pound. Manufacturers have ad- hered to their conservative method of buying only for actual wants, and while there has been a fair aggregate movement, the market at no time during the month has exhibited any- thing like general activity, such as is usually looked for in the early months of the clip year. Country markets have declined considerably from opening prices, and the move- ment of supplies to the seaboard has increased. Good assort- ments of nearly all descriptions are now available, but while mills generally are understood to be lightly stocked very few manufacturers are willing to anticipate requirements under existing conditions in the goods trade and pending a detinite settlement of the tariff discussion. Foreign wool markets have advanced from the lowest figures established at the recent London auctions, but still average about 15 per cent. below the figures current at the close of last year. Values in this country in the interval have been so well sustained by the promised relief to the manufacturing industry by a revis- ion of the tariff laws, that domestic markets as a rule are within 5 per cent, of the prices ruling a year ago. Conserva- tive opinion looks for little improvement in values before the first of September, as the goods market must overcome the effect of recent heavy importations before it can rally from its present depression. Texas Topics CHANGED CONDITIONS. It might be said that the Texas "cattle king" of a few years has Bince become the cattle pauper. This of course is an exaggeration, intended to set off, by antithesis, the changed condition of the cattle business. The time was when the cattlemen made the nearest approach of any indi- vidual in this free republican government to the qualities of king. In those dajs the grass was free, the range unlimited, the cattle were almost numberles and the prices were gor- geous. The cattle then were all "scrubs", which under the excitement of a boom inflation sold at $20 to $52 'round — cows, calves and unfatted steers. For reasons which it is profitless now to inquire into, these prices suddenly went to pieces and fell within two years to about $S, since which time they have climbed up a little, not reaching more than $10 to $12, where they now stand with slight fluctuations. With the break in prices many cattlemen went to the wall and retired from the business, Others held up and have since been playing a fast and loose business after old meth- ods, and with few exceptions have made no material gams. Still others perceived that the break was only the outward form of a genuine revolution in the cattle-raising industry, and prepared for the inevitable new order of things by intro- ducing good blood into their herds and grading them up to better standards. As success begins to crown the efforts of the latter class, those who adhered to primitive methods have been forced to a realization of the fact that "blood tells", and they too are lately beginning to manifest an interest in pedigrees and performance records. So that Texas has now fairly entered upon the new era of cattle-raising — an era which means better cattle by means of intelligent breeding. These changes have increased the total number of cattle, though scattering many of the larger herds into smaller but more thrifty bands. These smaller herds are maintained by improved systems of stock-farming, and the plow is now the companion of the cow. This creates, of necessity, a demand for more or lesB diversification, and as a result many for- merly exclusive cattle raisesrs now have in addition to well fed herds of cattle, flocks of sheep and droves of hogs, all graded and in many instances pure bred, I have in mind two of the old time cattle kings who made a timely discov- ery of the drift of things, and changed their stock accord- ingly. One has since become a breeder of pure-bred Here- fords, and the other in addition to a large herd of Holstein- Friesians has a magnificent stock of pure-bred, high-scoring Berkshire hogs, from which he is drawing a nandsome income. In addition to these changes among the old time cattlemen, the farmers over the State are raising a better class of stock, particularly of hogs and horses. Only the former have to do with this article. If one had visited Texas five years ago and should visit it again to-day, he would be surprised at the universal introduction of high-claBs swine. The best evi- dence that this is general, and that good results are follow- ing appears in the establishment of beef and pork packeries at Dallas and Fort Worth: In the former city where there are already extensive cotton and woolen mills, gin factories, buggy works and other manufacturing enterprises, is now in course of erection an extensive packing and refrigerating plant, ocoupying nine acres of ground, to be completed by October next, which will have a daily capacity of 250 beeves, 500 bogs, 300 sheep, 200 calves, and will also manufacture butterine and fertilizers. The Fort Worth packery is not so fully under way, but is an assured certainty. It must be perceived that moneyed men would not invest in these en- terprises without reasonable prospects of success, and as the first element of success is the raw material it mnst appear that Texas is raising beef, mutton and pork. It is only a question of time when similar establishments will spring up in San Antonio, Houston and Galveston, in the Sjuthern part of the State. Now what does this mean? It means that the Texas farmer and stockman is to have a home market for every thing on foot. It means, further, that Northern breeders will find Texas in the next four years more than ever a profitable field to be worked. In this connection I would like to mention the breeds of swine whioh are most popular in Texas, but it will take enough space to warrant another letter. — C.Y. Nic, in Stockman and Farmer. Salted Butter. The query is raised whether a butter record will be of greater weight salted or unsalted. We learn Bays the Hoi stein-Friesian that actual experiments have been made with the view of answering this query. In one trial it was found that the addition of an ounce of salt to a ponnd of butter in creased the weight of the record and the conclusion was drawn that bntter thoroughly drained and worked before salting will inciease in weight by the addition of salt. In oilier cases it was found that butter lost in weight by salt- ing, and that the per cent, of loss depended on the degree with which it approached dryness through previous draining an5 working. In some of the trials the loss was large. In view of these facts ought there not to be uniformity of prac- tice not only among Holstein-Friesian breeders bnt also among all breeders of dairy cattle who publicly report re- cords? It seems to us that there can be no reliable compari- son between the breedB or between individual cows without uniformity in draining, working and salting. And further we believe that such uniformity would settle all doubts and difficulties in the minds of candid men in regard to such records. We invite correspondence on this subject. We are proud of the fact that Holstein-Friesian breeders are not afraid of public trials or public discussions. Fellow Holstein- Friesian breeders we want your experience and observations in this matter. Do you find gain or loss in salting, and what practice in your opinion should be uniformly adopted? In our Rules for Advanced KegiBtry we find the following re- quirements. "In each and every butter record reported, the butter shall be of good marketable quality, salted at not higher than one ounce of salt to a pound of butter, and worked free from any excess of water or buttermilk." Are these requirements explicit enough and strong enough? Wonld it involve any disadvantage to breeders to uniformly adopt them in practice. We understand that unsalted re- cords have been received by this registry that were made previous to the adoption of the roles, and that thus a pre- cedent was established for receiving unsalted reoords since made. Sould this practice be abandoned? We find our Jersey friends condemning our unsalted reoords. We would like to inquire of them what proportion of their records have been, in the language of Mr. Farlee in the Country Gentle- man, "well worked, salted and. thoroughly reworked" and also how much salt was used to a pound of bntter.

Vail, a wealthy cattle man of Pima County, Arizona, recently leased the Warner ranch in San Diego County, which contains some of the finest grazing lands in Southern California, for the purpose of transferring some of his stock to this State, and entered into competition with the California stock raisers. After a careful consideration of the matter of the expense, the transfer of a large number of cat- tle by rail must necessarily entail, he came to the conclusion that aa they had been driven over the Colorado desert, with more or less success, before the age of railroads in Arizona, such a sohememuBt be perfectly practicable now. Accordingly, he determined to test the question, and a few months ago started his brother Edward upon the trail for California witn a large herd of cattle. The successful result of this drive, which was concluded several weeks ago conclusively demon- strates that cattle can now be driven across the Colorado desert with perfect safety and little risk of loss for lack of water and feed. The route followed after leaving Tucson, was almost para- llel with the track of the Southern Pacifio railroad as far as Maricopa, where the oattle were watered at the railroad tanks. Thence to Gila Bend, a distance of fifty miles, the drive was made in two days and a night, the stock being en- tirely without water during that time. Following the Gila River the herd reached the Colorado Eiver, and here the first difficulty occurred, as it was impossible to cross except by swimming. The crossing was finally accomplished, and the drive was made along the river for some twenty miles, thenoe to Willow Lake and across to New River, after which the rest of the distance was covered without trouble. The BucceBB of this and other drives made by John Lang, have caused Beveral of the leading stockmen of Arizona to make arrangements for the establishment of a permanent trail to this state. With this end in view.plans for the build- ing of a ferry boat across tne Colorado river are now under consideration and the money is already subscribed for it. This will, if carried out, be a severe blow to the railroads who have hitherto been able to maintain their high rates of freight on cattle, because stockmen were afraid to drive across the desert. Cattle Trade of Canada. Live-stock interests form an important item in Canadian agriculture. No exact figures of total numbers of the differ- ent classes of farm animals in the Dominion are at hand, but it was estimated that in 1888 the Dominion had 1,- 099,279 horses, and 3,791,908 cattle. The exportation of ani- mals and other products make up a large featur e of the for- eign trade of the country. During the sixteen years, 1874 to 1889, the exports of horses were 227,500 head, valued at $25,- 055.470; of cattle 1,062,898, with an aggregate value of $55,- 815,089; and of sheep 4,967,284, worth $17,649,260. This makes the aggregate value of the three classes of live stock sent abroad in sixteen years $98,520,749. In 1889 the ex- ports of animals and their products the produce of Canada, amounting to 23,894.707, the principal items being: Live animals 9,262,637 Cbeese 8,915,684 EgKS 2,159.610 Hides, Btc 4P2.361 All other 3,094,505 Total 23,894,707 The foreign cattle trade may be said to have had its incep- tion in 1872, and up to 1880 this country was the leading market. In that year, however, Great Britain passed ub in numbers purchased, and has since been the largest market. In connection with the live-stock trade of each country, the customs records bring out clearly the different character of the trade of each. Great Britain purohases beasts worth $89 per head, while the average value of those shipped to this country is only about $20. The first are high-grade bee veB bought for slaughter, the latter common stock bought for the purpose of breeding upon, or for farm use. Commercial regu- lations of Great Britain are so arranged as to foster the trade in Canadian cattle, the regulation requiring that cattle shipped from th9 United States and European ports be slaughtered upon landing being suspended in the case of shipments from the Dominion. Tins privilege makes it possible to ship store cattle to be fattened after arrival, and has resulted in a steadily enlarging trade, from 69 head in 1874 to 60,000 in 1S89. Sheep are exported in large numbers, the United States purchasing the larger part of the total shipments, though, as in the case of cattle and probably for the same reason, the value per head of those going to Great Britain is much greater. Cheese forms a large item in the exports of agricultural pro- ducts, the sales of last year amounting to nearly $9,000,000, but the shipments of butter are insignificant and deolining. Eggs are shipped almost entirely to the United States, and the aggregate value of the trade is large, exceeding $2,000,- 000 in 1889. Ontario furnishes the greater part of the supply. The total value of animal and agricultural products ex] ported in 1889 was $37,308,818, out of a total value of all do- mestic produce exported of $77,201,804. The proportion cf agricultural exports is smaller than in this country, the cause being the large shipments of forest Droduots. — United States Department of Agricultural Report. Wet Pasture— Lame Sheep. Just after a prolonged wet spell some lame sheep will often be noticed in the flock, says a writer in the American Sheep Breeder; these shonld be carefully examined, and i the cleft between the hoofs are found to be somewhat sore and irritated, fouls, or the first stages of what may after- wards prove to be foot rot is present, it should be attended to; a few drops of a mixture of butter of antimony, two dropB of moriatic acid and one ounce of white vitrol dropped in the sore cleft will dry up and remove the soreness. In warm, damp weather any member of the Hock that appears uneasy, stamping and shifting position continually, should be examined for maggots, which if found, should be treated to a dose of turpentine, or some of the dips used for scabs or ticks will generally do the work. A continual supply of salt should be furnished in the salt trough, tor if permitted to go without salt for a few days the tendency ia for some of the dock to take too much with sometimes bad results. The flocks, if in good pastures, need but little care, but this little at the proper time. 224 2?Ixe IPrecta and J»r/0rt$niatL Sept. 13 Base Ball and Athletic Department. The California League GAMES PLAYED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCK TON. SAN FRANCISCO vs SACRAMENTO. Fbidat Sept. 5th 1S90, at Oakland. A small crowd saw this game, which the Fnscos actually threw away. Their errors while few, were very costly, and poor base running also lost them runs at critical times. Hoffman was effective and steady throagbont except in the fourth inning when three singles and two bases sent two men across the rubber. Lookabaugh pitched nice ball, but was bunched on lightly in the first, Bisth and niDth, in all of which the Senators scored. The Sacramentos placed an even and finished g-»me, Eeitz, Godar, .Roberts and Staple- ton patting up an excellent article of ball. The Friscos work was more streaked, Ebright's fielding being especially poor at times, which was in a measure redeemed by his good stick service. Levy, Goodenough and Harper also hit hard and opportunely. Donohue umpired excellently. The Bcore.

Kilroy pitched elegant ball, keeping the six hits made off him well separated. He received strong Bupport from catch" er Vogt and the remainder of the team. Carseys work was al- so good and although hit harder than Kilroy he was especially effective at criticil times, no less than fourteeo of the Stock- tons being left on bases. The playing of the Colonels was wretched, Cantillion and O'Neill making Beveral glaring er- rors. Although the Oaklands had a good lead, of four rnns the Stocktons evened up matters in the fourth on a couple of hits, a sacrifice, and Cautillions and O'Neills wild throws. The Stocktons prevented Oakland from scoring after the third inning and by earning a run themselves in the eighth won the game. Armstrong, Lohman and Dooley hit very strongly.

Saturday, Sep. 6th, 1S90, at San Francisco, This was an intensely exciting game, the score being four to four at the end of the ninth. Both teams batted lightly, errors being principally responsible for the rons made. In the last half of the tenth Stevens took his base on balls and Ebright got first on McHales error m missiugthe thirdstrike.

The Senators' inability to touch Lookabaugh to any extent accounts for their defeat. But three hits were secured off him, and he only gave a single base on balls. His support was excellent from some of the Frisco team, and rather in- different from others. Hoffman pitched tine ball, ex epfc in the first, when three hits were bunched off him, netting tbreo runs and giving the Frisco a big lead. Reitz and Ebright both put up a marvelous game. The nimble second baseman accepted fourteen of fiftepn chances, many of which were of a phenomenal order, and Eorigbt took nine of ten hard chances offered. Shea's general work was also olever, and Hanley brought down a storm of applause by making a sensational catch of a long fly, which looked good for three bases. The score: Ban Fbancisco.

Sunday, Sept. 7th, 1890, at Stockton. Captain Armstrong is entirely responsible for the loss of this game, for with two out and two meo on bases in the first inning, Armstrong, in attempting to assist Lohman out at first, made a bad overthrow, allowing one man to score and two hitB following, gave Oakland three rnns. Perrott pitched fairly, the Oablands getting ten hits off him, while young Carsey was only found for six Bafe shots. Dooley was espec- ially effective when at the bat, making three hits for as many times up, including a home run. The infielding of the Stook- tooB, with the exception of Armstrong, was very clever, as was also that of the Oaklands. Lohman's catching was not up to his usual standard. The score: SAN FRANCISCO vs. OAKLAND. Monday, Sept. 7th, 1890, at Sa>- Francisco. Although errors were few and hits about even, this game — a posponed one — was dull and almost devoid of features. The runs by both sides were made in the first three innings. After that nothing but a succession of goose eggs followed. la the fifth inning Shea smashed out a triple and seared on Hauley's single. In the third Shea and Hanley were on bases when Veach knocked out a three baser, and scoring himself on Stevens single. This made four runs for Frisco, three of which were earned. The Oaklands bunched on Coughlan in the second, scoring four runs on a base on balls, Lohman's triple, N. O'Neill's" c'orb'e and Bingles by C. O'Neill and Cobb. Sweeney and Icbmin tallied in the third for Oakland on the formers base on balls, Lohman's single and McDonald's safe Bhot. Sbea, Logman, C. O'Neill and McDonald hit well, while the general playing was good but not brilliant.

In the fourth inning with two men out and two balls called on the man at bat; Kilroy put another right across the plate, and although clearly a strike, the umpire called "ball" giving the batter another chance, which he availed himself of and instead of the side being retired on the Btnke, eight rnns followed. Kilroy kicked but of coarse it was useless, and the Sicra- mentos had an easv victory. Harper pitched very effectively for the Senators, allowing but four hits while he and Kilroy divided honors evenly on strike outB. The fielding of Sta- pleton's men was brilliant, but two errors which fell to Mc- Hale, being made by the team. Roberts led the hitting hav- ing a single, double and triple to his credit, while Good- enough's one hit was a home run. Vogt caught Kilroy in splendid form. For the first time this season Reitz didn't have a single chance offered him at second, aud his score presents a dismal row of ciphers. The score. Sacramentos. ab.r.bh.sb.fo.

The Stocktons met a Berious defeat in this game which was due to Youngs reokless pitching. The Friscos sized him up for eighteen safe hits, arnoDg which were a number of long shots, while he gave five men bases on balls and hit Speer, Stevens, Levy and Shea, the last named receiving a terrific blow on the head which laid him senseless for three minutes after which time he pluckily resumed playing. Coughlan was very Bteady aod tbe ten hits made of him were well scat- tered, whioh lucky distribution, together with tbe splendid fielding work of the home team, kept tbe Stocktons down to three runs. Shea, L^vy, Speer, Holliday and Stockwell made three hits each, Ebright had a triple and a double, and Hanley, Stevens and Voung eaoh had a couple of hits to their eredit. Beside this heavy hitting, the game being so one sided, was rendered featureless. The score: San FiiANClnr*OK. ■ All KBII.8R.FO A.

Won't some one "for sweet charity's sake." start a relief fund to decently uniform the poor bedraggled looking team known as Finns Cripples. The Baltimore and Columbus clubs during the week per- formed a feat probably unequaled in the history of base ball — playing two games on successive days, both ties, and by the same score, The 8acramento boys all have an "eye to the future", as nearly every one in the team has from three to six hundred dollars to his credit at some of the Capitol City banks, the result of their savings for the season.

Seattle has recently Bigned Fisher shortstop and Katz cen- terfielder of the Interstate League; first baseman Brough'on recently of the St. Pauls and pitcher Somers. A Btrong quar- tet of players. The South Bend team of Washington has been disbanded and their manager E. C. Beldiog owes the members of the team who are all "dead busted" some six hundred dollars. Jim Mullee was done out $110 due him, and every player in the team has a claim against the manager for from twenty 6ve to one hundred and fifty dollars back salary with small chances of realizing ten cents on the dollar. The Stockton management shows poor judgment in pit- ting Otto Young against the Frisco team when they have Kilroy and Perrott to choose from. The Friscos have baited in practice bo often with Young in the box that they are thoroughly familiar with his delivery and curves which fact has been most practically demonstrated by their base hit column whan they have met him. For the nine games in which Norria O'Neill has played at third base since Stickney's release, he has accepted foity or fifty-two chances offered making twelve errors, nearly all of which were productive of runs. This gives the very poor percantage of 769 and still he is claimed by some deluded cranks — tbank Heaven they are very few — to be a better man than hia clever, brainy and gentlemanly predecessor. Jimmy Fogarty, the orack outfielder of the Philadelphia Player's team, had his bands badly burned recently whlo ex- tinguishing a fire in his bedroom at the Hotel Hilton, Phil- adelphia. The lace curtains at one of the windows took tire from the gas jet, which is in close proximity, and before Fogarty was aware of it. the curtains were all aflame, and the carpet had also caught tire. He succeeded in extinguish- ing the fire, but, in so doing, burned his hands badly, they being covered with blisters. — Sporting News. The Sporting Life says: — "In spite of the fact that Zimmer has caught every game in the present championship season up to date his bands are in almost perfect condition, and his throwing arm was never better. The big fellow keeps himself in such excellent condition, and is a man of such ir- reproachable habits, tint he deserves to succeed in finishing out the championship season, whether anybody else could do it or not. His record this season will show that he is not a shirk, and there are other ball players that might profit by it with advantage to themselves. A glance at the work done by California boys in the Broth- erhood and National Leagues this season, as shown by re- cently computed records, will bo doubt prove interesting. The following are the batting averages Van Haltran, Brook- ' lyn (P. L ) rank 10. per cent 331; Carroll, Pittsburg (P. L.) rank 20, per cent 314; T. Brown. Boston (P.

His vineyards are excelled by none in the State. They cansist of five hundred acres, on which there is a magnificent mansion and also a first class house which is used by the new trainer and driver, whom Mr. Cobb has just seonred. There is a wine cellar with a capacity of over a million gallons, with machinery of the latest improved patterns necessary for distillation and wine making. Mr. Crabb's reputation as a wine man is second to none and his goods always command a ready sale in any market. As is only natural to suppose, success in business has enabled Mr_ Crabb to accumulate quite a fortune, and as his tastes run considerably toward horBeB, he has within the last four years purchased a number a number of brood mares and horses. The mares consist of those sired by Whippleton, Whipple's Hambletonian, Naubuc, Viok's Ethan Allen, together with fillies by Woodnut, Director and many other favorite strains of blood. Mr. Crabb owns San Diego 8776 by Alcona Clay 2756, dam Fontana (dam of Flora Belle 2:24 and Silas Skin- ner 2:20i) by Almont 33; 2d dam Fanny Williams (dam of Bay Chieftain 2:28}) by Abdallah 15. Sin Diego is a dark seal brown, now three years old, and can show quarters in 36 seconds. The gentleman also owns To Kalon (to be beautiful) a brown stallion three years old by Whippleton 1883, dam Etta (dam of Cora C. 2:28J) by Naubuc 2d dam by Vick's Ethan Allen 2903. In addition to these fine stallions Mr. Crabb also owns a half interest in Grandissimo (full brother to Grandee, three year old record 2:23£) by LeGrande 2S6S, dam Norma by Arthurton 365; 2d dam Nourmahal (fullsiBter to A. W. Rich- mond 1687,sire of Arrow 2:13£, Romero 2:194, What Ho 2:29*. Richmond Jr. 2:22f, Elwood 2:17|, and is also the sire of the dam of Anteeo 2:16J and Antevelo 2:19i) by Blackbird 401. The object of Mr. Crabb is to breed to the very best of ■tallions so that eventually he will have stock second to none in the state. He also intends to give all of his fillies a record before putting them into the harem, and to that end ne has had built a first class regulation three quarter mile track. It is delightfully situated only a short distance from the new and elegant stables, in the midst of a vineyard, the vines of which, at thia particular season of the year, are laden with their luscious fruit. Tbe track as it stands to-day is in first class order, and for speed is equal to any private one in the United States. The soil is particularly adapted for racing purposes and does not harden up enough to have any per- ceptible effect on tbe horses' feet. It is the intention of Mr. Crabb before long to put a covering of clay over the course, as he fancies that it will add to the speed thereof. Within a short time twenty large box stalls have been erected which in addition to those already on the farm, gives ample opportunity to the trainer, James Corcoran, to keep as many in traioing as he may desire. Mr* Corcoran ba* full and complete charge as trainer and driver and he has al- ready a dozen or more, to which he is giving daily exercise. Mr. Crabb not having enough of his own fit to work, ha^ taken a number of outside horses, all of which are being handled by Mr. Corcoran. This is only temporarily, how- ever, for it is barely possible that next season the owner of this fine estate will have enough of his own to fill all tbe available room. A few of tho e we found receiving attentions from the trainer were tbe ^ay stallion Keepsake by Black Ralph, dam by Milton Medium, second dam Billy Cheatham. Thia young stallion is owned by Lill Boggs, of Labeport. Mr. W. G. Boggs, of the same place, also has a bay stal- lion by Black Ralph, the dam being a sister to the dam of Keepsake. A. L. Bancroft, of San Francisco, has in training Whipada, bay filly by Whippleton, dam Queen by Admiral. She is onlv two jears old and Corcoran says she is going to be very fast; for beauty, she cannot be beaten and if she only trots as fast as she is good lookiDg, her mark will be very, very low. A handsome yearling by Grandissimo was shown, the dam being by Whippleton, second dam by Bismarck, third dam by Whipple's Hambletonian. This really fine youngster is owned by F. W. Loeber, of Vinelaud, while the dam is owned by Professor Heald, who will give her a record next year. Directa is a beautiful daughter of Director, out of Alida by Admiral. This filly is owned jointly by Messrs. Heald & Loe- ber. It is altogether possible that before this reaches the eyes of our readers that Directa will have been turned over to Andy McDowell to seoure a low record as her owners feel sure that she has a wonderful amount of speed. One of the handsomest colts to be found elsewhere is Al- coneeronly twenty-rive months old by Alcona 730, dam Madonna (dam of Alcona Or. 2:30i who is sire of Silas Skin- ner 2:20*) by Cassius M. Clay 22; second dam by Joe Down- ing 710 (sire of Abe Downing 2:20 J and Dick Jamison 2:26, in addition to which he is tbe aire of three stallions with 3 horses in tbe 2:30 list and of seven dams who have six trot- ters and one pacer in the list.) Alconeer is a very hand- Bome bay and would fill the eye of anyone who is a judge of first class horse fiesh. This young stallion is owned by F. W. Loeber. Mr. Crabb has a yearling stud colt by Whippleton, by dam a son of St. Lawrence; second dam the dam of Doc sire of Occident 2:I6£. Woodline is a handsome chestnut, two years old by Wood- nut, dam by Whippleton; second dam by Dennison's Haw- kins, son of Jack Hawkins. Another in training is the bay mare, Ruby, six years old by Irvington Chief, son of Irvington 379, dam Alida (dam of Directa 2:31$) by Admiral. St Helena Chief is by Whippleton, dam by Bassford's Ab- dallah; second dam by Whipple's Hambletonian 725 and is owned by Harry Sharpe of St. Helena. To Kalon has already been spoken of above, and he also is receiving some slight amount of work preparatory to get- ting him in fix for a record if possible. Vinelandis a seal browD stallion, three year old by Whip- pleton. dam SallieGorham by Werner's 'Rattler; second dam Lady Rotan, an old time trotting mare who never found any road too long for her. This is an animal of good comforma- tion and should prove a reliable trotter: he is owned by F. W. Loeber. T. R. Eddington of Oakvillehas in training a bay stallion named Christo by Whippleton, dam said to be by Whipple's Hambletonian. Billy Rc~e, a bay stallion three years old by Whippleton, dam by John Nelson 187; second dam said to be by St. Clair is owned by David Rose of Calistoga. There were many others but time would not permit of a close examination as there were many other places to visit. Mr. Crabb has had erected an exceedingly good kindergar- ten track which will be used for the purpose of breaking youngsters. It is one hundred and seventy feet around it and is built after the latest improved stvle. Granaries, barns, harness room, etc . , tend to make tbe To Kalon Breed- ing Farm as fully equipped and ready for business as any to be found anywhere. We are perfectly well satisfied that the day is Dot far distant when Mr. Crabb will feel satisfied that he has made a good investment in entering the breeding business. He has started right, has secured excellent mares, has a good trainer and everything goes to show that he will make a financial success of what he started originally for amusement only. California Boots. It is really wonderful what giant strides California has mado in almost every branch of industry which has been started in this S'ate. Indnstry is hardly the proper word to use and "State products" is perhaps better. No country in the world has ever produced the amount of gold which has emanated from the Golden State. There is no piece of land in the wide, wide world that in comparison with its size has produced as much wheat as California. Its horses to-day, both on the running snd trottiDg tracks are recognized as the superiors of any bred elsewhere. In fruits it has no equal and in fact in everything which comes from the ground or which is manufactured, California takes a lead- ing position. Some years ago when the Hagsin striDg first went East to compete with the Eastern monarchs on the running turf, a large majority of his horses appeared on the tracks with boots; Baldwin's stables likewise used boots; Hickok and Doble with their trotting siables took from California a large assortment of boots and all this within a very few years. Tbe curiosity of the Eastern turfmen was naturally excited at the strange paraphernalia used by horses brought from Califor- nia, yet still when they saw the benefits arising therefrom, made haste to send to this State tor appliances of like kind, for it was found that the manufacturers in the East who attempted to imitate California bor^e boots could not turn out anything like the work that was worn by those who had sent to California for them. The various trainers and drivers were only too pleased to give the address of the manufacturer to those in the Eist who desired it, and in a very short time Jno. A. McKerron, formerly of Ellis street, had to increase tbe size of his manufactory to accommodate tbe extra hands which it was found necessary to employ. Within ten years the McKen-on boots have been worn in almost country in the world where trotting aud running horses are used ou the track. A great deal of this i* due to the fact that Mr. Marvin, the premier driver at Palo Alto has been a warm advocate of anything that tended to prevent injury to the horses under bis care, and in his various trips East he has uot hesita'ed to sound loudly the praises of the McKerron boots. Io his word on "Training tbe Trotting Horse," Mr. Marvin says: "By far the best boots made in this oountry are those turned out by Jno. A. McKerron, of San Francisco. He has experimented and worked tirelessly and has perfected maDy an improved boot now in daily uBeall over the country." It must be said, however, that Mr. Mc- Kerron stales emphatically that Chas. Marvin is one of the best men whom he has ever met for designing and putting into practical illustration, new ideas in regard to boots. Many new thoughts have emanated from Marvin, and one of the most improved articles now in use for horses wear is termed Marvin's Bell Qaarter Boot, in honor of the veteran driver. Finding that his business was increasing very rapidly, Mr. McKerron has lately removed from the old quarters to 203 and 205 Mason St. where he has secured two commodious stores which extend seventy feet in depth by forty in width. Twenty-six men are constantly employed in turning out one hundred and thirty-one different kinds of horse boots, and the light sulky harness which of late has come into such gen- eral use with all first-olass drivers. At the present time Margaret S., Palo Alto and Regal Wilkes are being driven in harnepses made by this gentleman, the total weight of each set being only seven and a half pounds. Everything that appertains to the harness business can be found at Mr. Mo Kerron's inolnding all the latent styles of English riding sad- dles, from those used by Jookeys to the heavy weighted ones usually required for park service.

The reconstructed Burlington Bonte team under the man- agement of Mr. Wm. Smith easily defeated Keller's tail end- ers last Sunday. The new team contains many "old familiar faces" who have done splendid service on other diamonds and if this first game is to be taken as an indication of their strength there is every reason for them to be termed ''cham- pion killers." Bohan and Wilds have been always con- sideied a "prize battery" while the infield is strongly guard- ed at every point by Traynor, Strand, Kelly and Fitzgerald. The outfield is hardly as speedy as that of some of the other teams but they are all reliable stickers and as a whole the team can be sized up as sufficiently strong to give the lead- ers a hard battle. Lohman pitched for the Aliens and did fairly. He was bunched on in the first and fifth, and these hits augmented by a combination of bases on balls and er- rors gave the Burlingtonsfour runsin each inning. McDon- ald pitched the last few innings and was effective. The Al- iens failed to do much with Eohan's delivery till the eight when they scored three runs, but it v. as then too late to do them any good. Billings and Wilds both handled their pitchers cleverly, although the Sports ran bases very free- ly on Wilds. The hitting of Kennedy, Molvey, W. Kelly, Batchelder, Fitzgerald and Wilds was very strong. The in- fielding of both teams was somewhat ragged, while what few ohances were offered the outfield were accepted in good style.

The Marines had but little difficulty in defeating the Be- ports in last Sunday's game. Monet, who pitches winning ball against every team in the league, can do but little with the stalwart Marines, and generally Williams is put in against that team. But as Williams was unavoidably absent last Sunday, the "steady Vic" had to go in and was hit hard and often. His support was the poorest he ever received, the work in the outbeld being especially wretched, while the infielders also produced many damaging errors. Besides hit- ting well, the Vallejos, with the exception of Magaire, gave Baltz admirable support. Baltz's pitching waB a feature, he being very steady and keeping the heavy hitting Beports down to five hits. Smith, Hughes, Murdook and Thompson put up brilliant ball in their positions. Wise, Bogle and Smith did very effective service at the bat. The soore: Repobts. ab.b.bh.bb.po.a Monet.p 6 0 J.

SANTA BOSA vs. WILL & FINCKS. Sunday, Sept. 7th, at Santa Bosa. The Santa Bosas, with their strongest nine of the season, did not have a hard battle in this game with Warren's patched up team. Howell occupied the points for the visit- ors, and outside of the second Inning pitched good ball. Dave Levy supported him in great style behind the bat. The remainder of the team put up a fairly good game, but the lead the Sonoma boyB took in the second through their hitting, and a number of misplays, was too much for the Giants to overcome. The Santa Bosas put up a strong game at the bat and in the field, giving Callen, who was Bteady and effective, very encouraging support. Sullivan, who played left for the Fincks, did tremendous work at the bat, banging out a home run and double. Kelly, Pace and Cook also hit well. Besides the heavy stick work of Sullivan, the first base play of Longhran, Holen's work at short, and the second base work of Deeney and Bradley were the most bril- liant features. Billy King, formerly of the Burlingtons, um pired satisfactorily. The score. Tillson, a a...

Monday (11 a. m ), September 8th, 1890, at Central Park. The Nationals, with some prominent amateurs in their team, were entirely too much for the Golden Gates, who were mostly composed of old timers and players who evi- dently had not played much base ball in their lives. Long started in to pitch for the Nationals, but was very wild, and in the fifth inning gave way to Commery, who succeeded in holding the Golden Gates down to four runs. Coleman did fairly well, being remarkably steady, but the Nationals found little difficulty in hitting him, and his team found less in fumbling everything that came their way, making nineteen errors, whioh were principally distributed among their infield. The hitting of Glocker was the principal feature of the con- test, that player seen ring four safe hitB and a sacrifice out of five times at bat. The following is the score: golden gates. NATIONALS.

There was an increased attendance at the afternaon game, but the crowd hardly came up^to expectations. ;The game was also an improvement on the morning one though the PaciScs were entirely too weak at all points too cope success- fully with the Biocons who numbered several players of re- putation in their team. Philpot pitohed for tbem and had the Pacifies almost at his mercy but two hits being Been red off him while he was rendered excellent Bnpport at the receiving end from "Mo Ginty" Carroll, the once famous catcher of the Pioneers. Bob Blakiston, Joe Finn, J. Carroll and Fitzler were all players of considerable note at some time or other and they expe- rienced no difficulty whatever in hitting Dnrkin 6afely and hard. Blakiston was especially Btroug at the bat making four clean bits, while Finn and Carter followed with three eaoh and Fitzler had a brace of donbles. Aside from the hard hitting and tbe c lever battery work of the victors, the game was devoid of features. The score. RLNCONS. Culiigan. 3b 7 1 Fitzler. 8 8 5 3 Finn, 2b 4 2 Blakiston, lb 5 2 Carroll.

This game was the deciding one for the Championship Trophy — a handsome banner — and waB easily won by the Nationals. Slahony, of the old Alcazars, pitched effective ball for the Nationals, striking out fifteen men. His support was splendid. The Bincons failed to hit at the proper time and put up a miserable fielding game. They changed the positions of their playerB several times in the game with dis- astrous effect. Finn pitched the first six innings for the Bincons, and with being hit hard his team made any num- ber of costly fumbles. Jack and Frank Carroll twirled the latter part of the game, but they had little better success than their predecessor. The batting honors were carried off by Glocker, Creamer, Comary, Philpot and Carter, while Long, Broderick, Creamer, Comary, Blakiston, Philpot and F. Carroll fielded their respective positions welt After the game the victors were triumphantly carried off to their head- quarters in carriages. The score: , Rincoss.

Pace is doing fine back stop work for the Santa Bosas. Dave Levy, late of the Portlands, is catching great bell for the Fincks , Sharp hud an "off" day Sunday, but that often comes to the best of them. The Fincks have sighed Frank Loughran, who adds great strength to the team. It is said that Vallejo is negotiating for the services of Ben Hill, late of the Oaklands.. Billings and Strand, formerly catchers of the Giants, are now playing with the Aliens and Burlingtons respectively. Billy Kennedy severely sprained his ankle in last Sun- day's game, which will prevest his playing for some time. There are three Kellys playing in the Amateur League. George and Billy Kelly of the Burlingtons, and Tom Kelly of the Santa Bosas. Harry Utt is no looser with the Santa Bosas, bavins had some disagreement with their players. He is now playing with tbe Fresno team, Pat Snllivan is developing into a terrific sticker. With a few more men of his abilities in the Fincks, losing games will be a thing of the past with them. Philpot plays a great second base. He is much better plaoed at that position than in the box, where he shoold only be used as au "emergenoy" man. Jack Traynor, formerly of the Pho?nix team of St. Marys College, and who has also played some games for the famous Alcazars, is now guarding first base for the Burlingtons. Mclntyr6 played with the Finoks last Sunday, having missed the boat when his team — the Beports— played. Of course Grace protested the game on this account, but it was unnecessary, as the Sonoma boya won hands down. 1890 %ht %xzziLtK awo* g$oxtsmm. 227 Buck Hashes, the second baseman of the Vallejoe, has been playing a magnificent game of late. Nothing comes too speedy for this player who makes some wonderful pickups and throws, and has his head with him all the time. He is also a strong hitter, and as an "all rounder" is one of the best of Valle jo's many tine players. The umpiring of Jim Cnsick at the Native Sons games was excellent. On balls and strikes Jim was never at fault, while on base decisions bnt few exceptions could be taken to his rulings. Cusick showed himself to be an able and most impartial umpire, and if given an opportuniuy would prove himself vastly superior to a certain official now draw- ing good money from the California League. The "Will and Finck team now presents a very changed ap- pearance having several new players in their ranks. No doubt the ohange will prove beneb'cial for there was certain- ly a lack of harmony existing among certain players in the old team caused by dissatisfaction with the management and as theBe players are now strengthening other teams, and their places are filled by equally as capable men, the chances are that better results will ensue. Billings and Strand were both good men, being fine catchers and outfielders and very strong batsman but as their differences with the manaaement conld not be amicably settled, it was the wisest course to ac- cept their resignations and allow them to play with teams more congenial to them. Were it not for some recently dis- engaged professional talent the Fiuqks could illy afford to lose Strand and Billings but Dave Levy tills the backstop po- sition excellently and will undoubtedly be kept there for the xamainder of the season. Farrell has also been signed and stationed at third base where he can do wonderful work. Then Warren through the Bbeeuer and Sportsman secured that most clever pitcher and first baseman Frank Lougbran, who adds great strength to the team. With Levy to do the back- stop work and Howell and Loughran to pitch, great battery work ought to be accomplished. Loughran also plays a most efficient first base and could be used advautageouBly in that position. In our opinion Frank Delmas is much better fitted to play second base than first as his size greatly interferes with his getting wide thrown balls and being very active and sure of ground hits he would no doubt show up in tine form at the middle bag. TUIson ie well placed _ at short a position in which he has made quite a reputation and Farrell is "in it" with any of them at third. This would be as strong an infield as can be Becured anywhere and numbers two very fast base runners, while the poorest sticker in the quartet is way above the average. In regard to the out6eld, which all season has appeared rather shaky, there are several good players Warren would do well to consider, and who should be selected not only for their fielding abili- ties, but for the hitting and base running qualifications as well. Among others who have favorably come under our no- tice and who being Class A. players are eligible to positions in any amateur team in the country, might be mentioned Gene Forster, Deane and Lolly Dunn, late of the Burling- tous; Hammer andMahoney of the old Alcazars, Donavin of the Greenhoods and Sullivan, Deeney, Commery and Coleman. With the infield and batteries as above mentioned, and an out- 6eld composed of three of the best noted above, the Young Giants would, instead of rapidly declining, push their way back to the position they lost and even have a fair chance to win the championship.

J Dr. Luther Gulick has made a special study of athletics, wthey bear npoa the general body politic, in lengthening ;he life of the citizen, increasing his producing capacity and ending to the improvement of the race in all attributes. Some of his views may most profitably be studied by our readers, and we particularly commend the following hints: WIND. "By the term 'wind' is meant the capacity of working with- >ut becoming distressed on account of the lack of breath. This does not depend on a large lung capacity as shown by ;he spirometer, for frequently men who can make only aver- ige, or even small records on this machine, have the great- est ability in this I am speaking of. In lack of breath, it doeB not seem possible to get enough air into the lungs; that, however, is not the real difficulty, for there is nothing to hinder us from breathing as deeply and frequently as we care to. Let us picture the internal operation of a man rnnning rapidly. The large and powerful muscles of the legs are contracting with great foroe and frequenoy, steps are taken at the rate of four a second and eaoh one sis feet long; this would be rnnning only at the rate of one hundred yards in twelve and a half seconds. This forces a large amount of blood up toward the heart; thiB organ almost immediately commences to work rapidly and throw the blood into the lungs. It is probable, however, that is not done at first as rapidly as the blood is brought by the veins from the mus- cles, so that the blood is backed up somewhat in the great veins. The capillaries in the lungB all dilate to accommo- date the extra blood that is being thrown in by the heart. These capilliaries, as they dilate, take up room that is usu- ally occupied by the air in the air-cells. Thus, at first, there is actually a little less room in the lungs for air than usual. The blood is commencing to go through the capillar- ies more rapidly than usual, and not quite so finely divided, as the capillaries are larger than usual. All these facts assist in the general condition of lack of oxygen. At first more blood is sent from the muscles to the heart than is sent from the beart to the muscles. After a varying length of time, depending on the vigor of the heart and lungs, these organs recover their balance. The temporary congestion of the longs is relieved. The heart gets to working rapidly and forcibly enough to meet the need. The capillaries in the lungs are enabled to contract a little, so that tbe blood is more thoroughly oxygenated. And now seoond wind is established, and all goes well until the muscles are ex- hausted. It will be noted that soon after commencing to run the legs seem to become exhausted, but when 'second wind1 is secured they are quite fresh and good for a long stretch. This is due to the facts just mentioned. Until the heart and lungs become equal to this work, the legs will not have the kind and quantity of blood needed; thus the products of muscular work will accumulate in the mudcle, and it will be tired. As soon as the blood supply is perfected these mater- ials are washed away, and the sense of fatigue goes with them. 'Second wind,' then, is attained when heart and lung get to working evenly and regularly,oxygenating and regulating the blood supply. "When either the heart or lungs or blood ves- sels are in poor shape this will be impossible, and the first thing to be done for snob, a person is to build up the weak part. How is a person to seoure the ability to get this 'second wind' surely and quickly? Practice, practice, practice. This alone will strengthen the heart so that it can do the necessary work. It is possible for a man to so accustom him- self to this work that he will hardly be conscious of any ohange from first to second wind, it seeming as if second wind came first. This indicates a One condition of heart and lungs. It is well before any race to breathe deeply for a few minntes; this not merely removes the exhausted air from the lungs and fills them up with fresh air, which is in itself of great importance, but it stimulates the heart itself to com- mence working a little more rapidly and vigorously than be- fore." muscle. There are a great many ideas in regard to the subject of muscle, which, although seemingly at variance, are really in accord with each other, the difference in many cases being that different powers are referred to; thus what is referred to many times is the capacity of exerting great power for a little while, at other times it is the power of making a small- er series of exertions through a longer space of time. Some people have one kind of muscle to a marked degree, who have not the other. There seem to be three elements that enter into the com- position, or which determine muscular strength; nerve, muscular tissue and circulatory apparatus. I name them in the order of importance. Nerve is the battery that sends the discharge tbat occasions the contraction. No matter how atrong a muscle is, it cannot contract strongly with a weak stimulation. A muscle comparatively weak, on the con- trary, can make extremely powerful contractions under suf- ficiently powerful stimuls. So it is evident that a great deal depends on this nerve force. How are we to secure this ca- pacity for sending a strong stimulus to the muscles? A man must be in good condition. This is of prime importance. I have spoken of this in a previous article, so will say no more here. He must give his whole attention to the matter. A man can never do his best work physically without giving every thought to it. Many times men make poor jumps be- cause they are distracted by something the moment before the effort is to be made, so that as large a stimulus is not sent to the muscle as should have been. In order to accom- plish this, he must also pay strict attention to 'habit,' of which I havs already spoken. Few men can do their best except when comparatively fresh; one should approach a contest after two or three d'ays or rest. Muscular tissue refers to the muscle itself . To build np large and powerful muscles attention must be paid to exer- cise and food. In general it may be said that muscles are best trained by exerciseB similar to those for which they are being prepared. Thus, if one were training the muscles of the fingers that they might have more agility, it would be worse than useless to do so by giving the hand heavyweights to grasp and lift. This would make them strong, to be sure, but it would make them so slow that they would be almost useless for the purpose intended. It would be betterto train them to some exercise that demanded agility and control as well as speed. A man could develope large muscles in the front of his leg-i by heavy lifting, but, although these are the very muscles tbat are used in jumping, if developed in that way they wouH not be of the greatest service. They would have the extremely bad habit of contracting slowly. In train- ing for the five sports for which this series of artioles is being written, it is best to develop the necessary miiBcle by careful systematic practice on the exercise itself, unless there is some specially weak spot in the individual which needs particular attention, besides the general practice. Generally, however, it will be found that those who take these five sports systematically will become fairly well developed all around. In the paBt there has been a great deal of dispute on the question of food. The following points, however, seem to be both clear and reasonable, and to bear the test of ex- perience. Meat builds up the muscle but does not usually furnish energy. Sugars and fats furnish energy but do not buildup muscle. Simple foods, including vegetables, no to- bacco or wines, and regular habits, about sum up what is to be said on this side of the eubjeot. If a man is too fat and the exeroise does not reduce his weight as it should, he can go down rapidlv by cutting down his supply of liquids, at the same time doiDg regular work that will make him sweat. Endurance depends in a large degree on the thoroughness and rapidity of the circulation. CONDITION. The object is not to discuss the scientific but the praotical side of the most interesting subject. I shall speak of tbe training that is needed for an ail-round championship con- test. In some respects, then, the directions will differ from those whiob are given for specialists. The subject matter has been derived from actual experience, rather than from theory. The objects of training may be roughly classed in order of importance, into four divisions: 1, condition- 2 habit; 3, muBcle; 4, wind. 1. Condition. One of the greatest failings of trainers has been to work too rapidly, to over-train. Thus, when tbe one over-trained comes to the contest, while he may be strong|and well developed, he finds that he has not that "snap" to put into his work that he needs, that each effort takes a greater amount of will, and that he has not the en- durance that is necessary. The UBual cause is over-work A man in a contest who is a little under-trained will do better than the one who is equally over-trained. A good rule is "Follow your feelings." A man should rot work so that he loses his;"8nap" the next day; he should not feel lame or ex- hausted. A moderate or small amount of work every day will put and keep a man in better shape than a good deal taken only once or twice a week. Another error that beginners are apt to make is to endeavor by force of will to makeup for this lack of condition. Dav after day they will force themselves through the exercise tha't they have laid down for themselves, even though muscleB are lame right along, and they feel quite unlike anyth;ng so vigorous bb athletic work. In most instances this is a mistake A man should feel like doing his work. Of course I am now not referring to lazy persons; they would better find nice, comfortable, shady seats on the grand stand and criticise those -n ho are doing the work and securing the benefits. To do his beBt work a man does not want to do best work all around every day, by any means, strange as this may seem. He would only grow worse day by day if he attempted it. A man may overwork in two ways; by one day's work that is far too much for him, or by doing a little more every day than he should. In thisway he does not recover from one over-work till another is added, and so on day by day. If a man is sore and lame, let him do very little real work till he feels himself again. There are other causes for a laok of condition; excessive mental work, emotional strain, anxiety, will each prevent a man from getting into first class condition. Eating rich cakes, heavy custard pies and large amounts of fat, or irregu- lar meals. loss of sleep, etc., etc , and eaoh potent in the same direction. During training a man's Bexual nature must be entirely restrained if he would do his best. A man can- not have sexual excitement, even though it be only mental, and at tbe same time be putting the moat into his physique. I say, even though it be entirely in his mind. The physical results are not much lesB draining of nower in this case than when the indulgence is more than "mental. This is the product of experience, and is in accord with science. For some days before the contest a man should do but very little work. He should eat, sleep and dress as usual, but instead of taking his exercise, let bim do some walking and watch others work. A man should enter the contest feeling elastic, buoyant, strong, vigorous, light, clear-headed and courageous. He is then in good condition. -«. Olympic Club Entertainment. A crowded house, a delightful entertainment and a well- pleased assemblage characterized the annual exhibition of the Olympic Athletio Club given on Wednesday evening of last week at the Grand Opera House. President Richard P. Hammond Jr. was master of cere- monies, and in his introductory remarks just prior to ;he commencement of the evening's athletio programme referred to the fact that the Olympic Club has been the representative of amateur athletics on the coast for a period covering thirty years. He dwelt at some length upon the importance of physical education of the youth of the present age, and men- tioned particularly the need of athletio training among girls and young ladies. "It has been the aim of tbe Olympic Club," said the speak- er, "to bring to each member a sense of his obligation to tbe world in general, that by the prolonging of his life he may better succeed in the sphere in which he has been placed. The practical study of athletics demonstrates tbe foolishness of excess of any kind. Athletics and dissolute habits are in- compatible, and the true athlete, whether amateur or pro- fespional, despises the man whose weakness is immorality." The athletic programme was under the direction of Leader John A. Hammersmith, and was well arranged and faithfully carried out. After an overture by the orchestra thirty mem- bers of the club, adult and juvenile, participated in artiBttc triple pyramid -ladder groupings. Following this exhibition, a quartet consisting of the Missea Collison and Messrs. T. s! Mitchell and William Tooniy sang "Come, Pretty Fay," in such a charming manner as to call forth an encore. Profes- sor William Smyth and ten of the most agile of the Olympics came next on the programme with interesting exercises on the horiz >ntal bar. The most exciting number on the programme, the fencing contests, followed the bar exercises. These were between Professor L. Tronchet and bis pupil, C. A. Huime, with doe- ling rapiers; A. Liebes and L. Waterman, juveniles, with foils, and Professor Tronchet and his pupil, Miss A. Ratblot, with broad Bwords. Among the participants in the boxing exhibition contests were Frank L. Cooley and J. L. Lafferty, and Robert McCord and Professor JameB J. Corbett. The latter made his firBt public appearance since his successful meeting with John Kilrain in Few Orleans. Alex and Willie Ensbury of the ju- venile class gave acrobatic groupings very artistically, and then oame the wrestling bouts of the evening between mem- bers of the juvenile class, followed by Eugene S. Van Court and F. A. Grimm, and D. S. McLeod and Professor George S. Miehling. There was an amosiug bout between Jim Cor- bett and Professor Woolwich, aged 10 years. A mnsical selection by the Mandolin Club and club swing- ine by members of tbe juvenile class, under the leadership of Professor William Smyth, was followed by exercises on par- allel bare, in which E. A Kolb, G. C. Rouse, 0. J. Schuster and other well-known athletes took part. A feature of the eveniog's entertainment was a tug of war between teams from the juvenile class, captained by Eddie Wioterburn and Fred Kuight. Each team consisted of nine lads and weighed in the aggregate 600 pounds to the team The final number < n the athletic programme wa<* a realistic and laughable imitation of a knook-out by Ben Bogner, who stood before Prpfessor De Witt Van Court and gave an amus- ing but correct representation of how a professional pugilist is put to Bleep in the ring. 228 !&* g$r*ecter and j^pnTtsmatJ Sept. 13 THE WEEKLY Breeder ancLSgor^man.

The article upon this subject in another column af- fords food for reflection. It goes to prove what we have alwayB contended — that, after the first cost of sire and dam, it costs no more to produce a good torse than a poor one. In one point the writer is not altogether clear — he does not establish in what year the first native Cal- ifornia trotter crossed the 2:30 boundary, although he thinks it was in 1871. Granting this to be true, it shows such a progress in nineteen years as no other State ever made. It is a great showing that 41 horses should have trotted in 2:20 or better; 84 more between 2:20 and 2:25; and 92 more between 2:25 and 2:30. The list is not complete — the author candidly acknowledges that— and the list would increase from 217 to 230 if carefully and diligent- ly looked up. This requires a good deal more valuable time than our contributor has at his disposal. The wealth added to the financial riches of this State by the sale of valuable trotters to residents of other States, as well as those exported to Australia and the Sandwich Islands, is at this date incalculable. Mr. Rose's last sale in New York alone approximated a quarter million dollars, while the sales of Senator Stan- ford and Messrs. Corbitt, "Valensin, Salisbury and Hag- gin have repeatedly run up into six figures; and the wealth of any State depends chiefly upon the excess of its exports over its purchases from abroad. We feel proud of the showing made by our contributor and only regret that he could not have made it complete enough to disarm criticism. Of course, in omitting some that he has done, he will be charged with carelessness, if not downright partiality. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was limited for time, and only be- gan Mb work at a late hour Tuesday, The paper went to press on Thursday, and the only wonder is not that it was incomplete, but that its review contains as much valuable information as it does. We feel proud of the exhibit while acknowledging its defects. Tbe man who does the best within his power ean certainly do no better. As will be seen by reference to the advertising col- umns, Peter C. Kellogg & Co., 107 John Street, New York, announces this week to our readers that he will dispose of a magnificent collection of trotting stallions, mares, fillies and coltB at the Parkville Farm, Long Island, on September 29th and 30th. It was in 1886 when Jno. H. Shults, a very wealthy gentleman of Brooklyn, first made his appearance in the trotting world as a prominent buyer, when at the Glenview Stud dis- persal sale he purchased tbe stallion Pancoast for $28,- 000; although comparatively speaking, unknown at that time among the trotting horse breeders of the country, since then he has made his presence felt at almost every prominent sale that has been held since. When Mr. Shults saw something that he fancied, there was no price that could stop him, and as a consequence he has collected together the best selected stock of broodmares that can be iound on any farm in the country. The assertion can be made, and without fear of contradiction, that no such a collection of horses has ever been offered at public sale, as will be by Messrs. Kellogg & Co. on the date mentioned above. Nothing is being withheld, everything is being cleared out, from Pancoast and Cuy- Icr, down to the weanlings of the present year. It is unnecessary to go into detail and mention any of the prominent horses which are catalogued in the advertise- ment, but it will amply repay perusal from all who are interested. If there be any Cahfornians who feel that they would like to purchase some of the choice animals offered, Messrs, Kellogg & Co. will be only too pleased to forward catalogues immediately upon application. Our Native Sons. One of our oldest contributors favors us this week with a long dissertation upon the native-bred trotters of Cali- fornia. In it he goeB back to the importation of David Hill from Vermont by Mr. Ansel Easton, and tells a great many interesting facts not known by the present generation. But our ever-welcome contributor does not say any- thing about the native-bred boys of California, so we will have to say it ourselves, for we believe there is as much in good blood in the human race as in the breed- ing of quadrupeds. We saw nearly 8,000 of the "Native Sons" in that grand pageant, and not one of them the worse for drink or in anywise boisterously behaved. At the bottom of all this was good breeding. Of course there was. The 8,000 youngsters who trampled these stony streets were the sons of as brave and maDly a race of men as ever trampled down the sol- itude of a slumbering wilderness. All the heroism of private life that the great world could ever boast, was embodied in the gallant souls who sought these Western shores in the first ten years of California's existence as a State. They came alike from the bleak' New England coast and the sunny vales of Kentucky and Tennessee; and alike from the dewy hop-fields of England, the vine- clad hills of France and Germany, and from the sterile shadows of the dark Norway pines. All these discordant elements have since blended into a harmonious unit, sec_ ond to no people in the world for industry, courage, and the other components of a rich and vigorous manhood. We are proud to pay this brief tribute to the worth and vigor of the generation that is to be our successors. The liberties of a great State will never be jeopardized while they live. They will take up the great work where our tired bauds have laid it down, and carry it to a successful conclusion, maintaining California's supre- macy, and preserving the temple of Freedom without defiling the statue of Liberty. Well may we be proud of our "Native Sons of the Golden West. A Racing Preposition. Mr. Albert Joseph, the well known banker of Sand- hurst, Victoria, has been in partnership with Joseph Thompson, the "leviathan bookmaker" of Melbcurne for many years. In the coarse of a conversation in this office on Friday, Mr. Joseph said: "If we come here to lay off and maintain a track we calculate to spend at least $300,000; and if we carry out my present ideas of it, we will be lucky to get off that cheap. We ask no pecuniary aid from anybody, as we have plenty money of our own. What we do ask is a hearty endorsement and co-operation of the leading breeders, as well as the wealthier classes whose presence and assistance goes bo far to render racing successful. We shall merely maintain the track and give the prizes. We look for the formation of a club which will take cognizance of all races, govering with justice and punishing all offenders without fear or favor. If such an association be formed here it will lead to our having races every Saturday, so that people can see live good races and then get home by 6 o'clock to dinner. Twice a year we will give a grand meeting, with a cup race of $25,000 for a dash of two miles, or two and a quarter, as best suits the horse owners. As I said before, we don't ask anybody to take a ay stock in this concern — we will hold it all ourselves and will finish it as no other course in America is equipped. But we ask for the support and co-operation of the wealthy breeders. If sufficient inducements are offered me before I leave oa the 20th, I shall come back in January and commence operations at once, so as to give races in October." We have known Mr. Joseph for several years and know that he and Mr. Thompson can put half a million dollars suoh an enterprise and not feel embarrassed if it into does not pay from the very start. Mr. Joseph has held public positions of honor and trust in the city of Sandhurst for many years. He was importuned to "stand" for an election as Mayor of that city, but he declined the proffered honor on account of private business. He is a man whose word is his bond, and the same may be said of his partner, Mr. Thompson. The gentlemen should not be suffered to make such a preposition without a response. They are deserving of substantial encouragement because they have means to carry out the good work, and are not afraid to take chances on it. Mr. Joseph will be found at the Occidental Hotel until the depaiture tf the Aus- tralian steamer. standard Stakes. The Breeders' Association will open Standard Stakes, to be closed the evening of each day and trotted on the following day, for horses that have never trotted in 2:30 or better. Entrance, $20, to accompany the Domina- tion. Not less than three horses to enter and start in each race, three heats of a mile each. The winner of the first heat not to start in the second, and the winner of the second heat not to start in the third. Fifty per cent of the entrance to the winner of the fastest heat, provided that no money shall be paid to or be con- sidered won by any horse which does not win a heat in 2:30 or better.

Records made in these races are binding, valid and unimpeachable. The P. C. Trotting Horse Breeders' Association. On September 8th a meeting of the Directors of the Breeders' Association was held at their rooms, 313 Bush St. for the purpose of taking into consideration the offers that had been made by the various tracks for the pur- pose of securing the annual meeting of 1890. A major- ity of the Board were present, President White in the chair. After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and approved, bids were opened from Capt. N. T. Smith of the Bay District Association and A. R. Conk- ling, Secretary of the Solano and Napa Association. The first propoai ion read was from Capt. N. T. Smith in which he offered the use of the Bay District Track with certain pi ivilegeB, the Association to pay for the same the sum of $1000. The one from the Napa Asso- ciation was an offer to prepare and keep in condition the track and grounds during the race week, in addition to furnishing everything necessary for doing same, the Breeders' Association to have full use of stalls, grounds and track, together with all and every kind of privileg- es, also free use of water for stock, the cost to the Breed- ers' Association to be Nil; this last generous offer was accepted by the Association and on motion it was determined that the annual meeting of the Association for 1S90 should be held at tho Napa Fair Grounds. After this business had been attended to, Mr. White tendered his resignation as President, giving as a reason that on account of changes in his business he would be compelled to be away from the city a large portion of the time and would therefore be unable to attend to tbe duties of the office. After Vice-President Burke had taken the chair, on a motion that was duly seconded, Mr. i White's resignation was accepted. Mr. Hatch placed in nomination F. L. Coombs, Esq. of Napa to fill the vacant office of President aDd Mr. Coombs was unanimously elected. On motion it was decided that the President and Vice-President tt?ke charge of the is- suing of complimentary tickets. After some delibera- tion it was decided that the entrance fee at the gate should only be 50 ots. per capita. On motion a com- mittee of three were appointed with full power to aot and make arrangements for the coming race meeting; the President appointing for said committee, F. W. Loeber. F. B. Burke and Gilbert Tompkins. i On motion it was decided that the coming race meet- ing be btld on the following dates inclusive, October lltb, 13th, 14th. 15th, 16ib, 17th and 18th, leaving the date of Monday.

A Record of which Any State in tne Union might be Justly Proud— The Blending: of Hambletonlan and Clay Blood. It was some time along in October 1858, that I met Dan Waldron, then one of the publishers of the California Spirit of the Times. He waB as fat and jolly then as now and did not look so much younger as one might imagine. He asked me if I cculd report a race. I told him I had never done so but could make a good stagger at it. "Well, we've got H — for an editor and a good writer he is in a general way but he knows nothing about reporting a race. So if you can go out and report that two year old trot for us to-morrow, there is a steady job of work for you." [Let me remark that "H", to whom he referred, is now a jeading member of the San Francisco bar and has just brought off Miss Florence Blythe with flying colors. He showed his good sense by abandoning journalism very early in life.] It was a little after twelve o'clock when I reached the old Pioneer track at Howard and 24th street, and went up stairs for a lunch of fried clams with George Treat. I can not remember all the incidents sive that the exhibition wbb for a prize of $200, offered by AnBel I. Eaaton, long since dead, for the best of the get of his horse David Hill, a son of "Vermont Black Hawk, purchased for him in 1855 by Ben- jamin F. Fish, who is still living. There were five two year olds shown, but I can only remember three of them — San Jose Damsel, ch f, bred and owned by Peter Quivey of San Jose; Iron Duke, gr o, by C. W. and E. V. Hathaway of this city; and Charley Case, ch c, owned by Henry D. Keynolds of Corte Madera, Marin County. The judges of the day I cannot recollect, but I am almost positive that Captain May- hew was oue of them. As the youngsters were very eligh'ly trained, it was decided to let them trot singly. San Jose Damsel was the first to appear, and candor compels me to say that to the present da 7 I have never seen a more blood- like animal in harness. Her dam was a thoroughbred mare by Ked Bill (eon of Medoc), called Lady Davis, and was brought to this State by Reason Jourd.m of Milpitas. Lady Davis afterwards produced to the cover of Belmont the noted horses Dashaway, Beauregard and Richmond, all distin- guished winners of heat raceB. I cannot remember who drove the DamBel, but recollect I made her trial 3:19£, while the official time was given aa 3:20. The following year the Damsel was bred to Vibbard's Stoekbridge Chief, afterwards the property of Captain William Eohl. In 1S61 she was sold to Edgar Mills, the Sacramento banker. Iron Duke was the next to appear and, in order that he might be properly handled, his owners had secured the ser- vices of James Eoif for that purpose, in which I believe they made a mistake. Mr. Ben Fish was on the ground and had handled him ever since be was halter-broken; and I shall al- ways think the colt would have done better with him than with Eoff. The Duke was a coarse looking colt about the head and neck, but his body was remarkably well rounded, and as for his legs and feet, they were simply perfection. When Eoff got up behind the oolt, he jogged him slowly the reverse way of the track for about three-fourths of a mile, and then turned back towards the wire. Down the stretch he opened the colt's pipes a little, intending to get him red hot, then cool him out and bring him up again for a brush at the record of the Damsel. Instead of that, as he came under the wire the judges cried "Go!" Eoff evidently did not hear them, for he pulled the big colt up on reaching the turn, amid cries of "Go on!" ''That was a go!" etc. Eoff had the colt almost in a walk when he made up his mind to go ahead, and yet, in spite of all that drawback, The Duke made the mile in 3:24. Judg- ing by what he lost in the way I have described, I regarded his performance as the better of the two. Still the Damsel finished her trial with something to spare. What horse was third I cannot now remember. Charley Case's trial was 3:28, and the judges placed him fourth. This was the beginning of a great and important industry, and laid the corner-stone of a great source of wealth to the State. In the following year the following trotting sires were brought out from the East: Comet, br h, by JameB H. FiBh; Mystery, ch h, by F. S. Maione; John Nelson, ch b, by Ed M. Pitcher; State of Maine, by L. Grover; Corn Planter, by A. McCloud, and Economy, by H. G. Wetmore, The previ- ous importations were General Taylor in 1854; Werner'B Battler in 1857, and Stockbridge Chief early in 1858. I do not recollect much about the events of I860 save that San Jose Damsel won every three-year-old e vent for which she Btarted. In these days there were no classified purses according to record, or she might have beaten a good many older horses. Iron Dake did not appear, if my memory serves me right, and I have nothing eUe to refer to, as all my books and papers colleoted prior to 1866 were destroyed by a tire at Red Bluff. At the period of which I speak, there was a perfect craze for the stock of the Vermont Black Hawks for the Hambletonians were as yet unknown. Hence it was that both Iron Duke and Charley Case were kept so cloBe at stud Bervice that they were not trained. Again, there were no district fairs cor trotting cirouits then as now. The State Fair was then on wheels, having been held at San Jose in 1856, Stockton in 1857 and MaryBville in 1858. Hence I have no very clear recollections of 1859-60. Some time in I860, long after Princess had been taken back East to contend against Flora Temple, old Wash Mont, gomery and Frank Stevens got hold of a mare called Yolo Maid. She was claimed to be by a horse called Piatt, which stood somewhere on Putah Creek. The California Stage Company was then almost omnipotent, and controlled every thing north of Sacramento. They matohed this mare to go ten miles in harness against an old brown gelding called Jack Gambill, to wagon, for $500 a Bide, to trot on the old "Buck Harrigan" track near Sacramento. The horse won in 6omethiDg outside 31 minutes, being driven by O. Smiley. I mention this because the mare was always claimed to be a native trotter, and I never heard of her subsequently. It was late in 1860 when I was spending a few days at Stockton, where I met Mr. George W. Trahem. In course of conversation, "Wash" told me of a wonderfully precocious troltiDg colt bred in hie neighborhood. He was by Henry Trembly's thoroughbred horse Belshazzar, a son of the im- ported stallion of that name, and already noted as a Bire of several second-rate gallopers. Mr. Trahem said he had been sold to a San Francisco merchant (George B. Gammans), and could trot all day. This horse was christened William H. Seward, and fully justified the great "beef baron's" estimate of bis staying powers. His first race resulted in a defeat by Warren Load's Powder in 2:44. In his next race he beat Geo. Ferguson's b g Confidence and two othera in 2:46. Here was another new departure— the "dead line" of 2:50 had been crossed by a native son of our soil. Two months later he beat an old roan horse called Dick Vaux two-mile heats in a jog. It was evident he was a horee that would bear watch- ing. In 1861 a bay colt called Prince, got by Williamson's Bel- mont and owned by Mendenhall of Walnut Creek, trotted at Martinez in 2:52, but the track was said to be 85 yards short of a mile, so it was never put down as a record. In the same year another Belmont colt called Lafitte, owned by Col. E. S. Lathrop, trotted at the Pioneer course in 2:56, being three years old. In 1862 this BP.me colt Prince, since called Bell Alta, weng out in a three-year-old stake at Sin Jose and distanced the field in 3:00A. In November of the Bame year, he met a more select field at the old "Willows" track out the Mission Dolores, and won the race in four heats. The fastest heat of the race, however, was won in 2:50 without a Bkip, by Mr. Josiah Sessions' gray filly Miss Vernon, by Easton's David Hill, out of old Lady Vernon (2;29), whom I muBt always regard the moBt valuable of all early trotting importations. In 1S62 63 I was out of newspaper business and kept but little run of the trotters. All I can recall now is the defeat of George M. Patchen Or. at Stockton by Kentucky Hunter in 2:37 to skeleton wagons. Had the race been trotted ao. cording to the rules now in vogue, Patchen would have been given the race in straight heats for Hunter cantered about one-half of every mile in the race. In 1864, the merit of California bred horses became a duly recognized fact. At the State Fair Oct. 17, Captain Hanford {first oalled Paddy Magee^by General Taylor, won the pur3e for Btallion, beating Latham and distancing Geo. M. Patchen Jr., who won the firBt heat in 2:36£. Captain Hanford sub- sequently got a record of 2;33£ and was the sire of May How. ard 2:24, one of the best campaigners of her day. It was at the same fair that Seward, who had just then been sold to R. F. Morrow, established himself as the crack ten miler of the coast, if not of the entire continent. He had previously beaten Mr. Edward Barron's oh g Lowery Math- ews (a capital two-miler by the way) five miles in 13:52, the last half mile of which waa done in a jog. Tbe closing day of the fair saw a purse of $600 offered for a ten mile race and the entries were Seward, Gentleman George and Fillmore, the latter horse having then the record 13:16 at five miles. The betting was Seward $100, Fillmore $60. and George $40 Seward took the lead in the second mile and kept it to the finish, beating George over 100 yards in 28:54. Fillmore broke a blood vessel in his nostrils and was withdrawn on the sixth mile. Seward won a ten mile race after this, also a race at two mile heats. Ha was taken sick at the old "White House" stables and died after a few hours illness. In 1865 two phenomenal three year olds, came out in Sao- ramento, one of which was a tough looking brown gelding called John Conness by Werner's Battler. He belonged to Christopher Green and beat a very clever chestnut gelding by John Nelson called April Fool, bred by Frank Maione. The latter horse was sold to Hon. William Watt and became the best five milo horse in the State. His best mile record was 2:40$ driven by Dan Dennison. Conness subsequently reached a record of 2:30$. It was now evident that the Cal- ifornia bred trotter had oome to stay. In 1866 I did not see a race of any sort and cannot speak nnderstandingly of any of the events of that year. In 1867 I put in two days at the State Fair, and saw two Eastern-bred stallions beaten by a native horse — Ben Frank lin, owned and driven by Isarel Larocque of San Mateo. Tbe other contestants were Kentucky Hunter (Skenandoah) and Fly-by-Night, the latter of which had jnet returned from making a season in Oregon. The pools sold $50 for Hnnter, $20 for Fly-by-Night and $7 for Franklin; and after Hunter won the firat heat, you oould get Franklin for $4 in pools of $100. Al Whipple must have won $2,500 that day, and, at his suggestion, I got some of the pie myself. Hunter won the first and third heats. Fly-by-Night the second, and the despised Franklin picked up the last three. The fastest heat was 2:37*. and Franklin's beBt time waB 2:44$. Shortly after- wards Mr. Ben Fiah matohed another Black Hawk colt called George Allen to trot three miles out, and won it clev- erly in 7:52 without any great effort. In 1868 two phenomenal debutants came out for public honors. The first of these was a bay gelding owned by Capt. Ben Harris and driven by Sam Whitehead, whose pools are now as refreshing to race-goers as were the Pools of Siloam to the Hebrew pilgrims of old. This colt was by Signal (Sincletary's Battler), but who bred him or what his dam was I never heard. The other was Moulthrop, a magnificent iron gray gelding bred and owned by John Thompson, of Quincy, •Plumas County. Pacific won two races at the Marysville Fair, getting a reoord of 2:32$, but at Sacramento he was beaten by Regulator in 2:303. At tbe same meeting Moul- throp won a five-mile race, beating Columbia Maid, Algerine and Poorman in 13:53 without an effort. He was by Mc- Cracken's David Hill, and one of the grandest looking horses ever hitched up in America. In 1869 I went up to Oregon, where I was engaged in river steam boating till 1872. During that time I did not see a San Francisco paper once a month, nor did I see a sporting paper at all. Hence I know nothing of what happened during those three years. In 1872 I came down here and saw a great trot between two native bred mares, Lady Blanchard, 2:26£, and Aurora, 2:27. The first was by Whipple's Hambletonian, out of the Mills filly, 2:48, by General Taylor. Aurora was by John Nelson, and a full sister to the dam of Albert W., 2:22. These mares were very evenly matched, and the races between them are noteworthy from the fact that Aurora was the first mare that ever wore the colors of that now world-famous breeder and turfman, Hon. Leland Stanford, in a public race. The next year, however, told a different Btory for that gentle- man. Up to 1873, the Californian trotters had shown a good deaj of speed, considerable quality and no end of gameness, but the 2:20 mark was a barrier not yet invaded by native borge, mare or gelding. It was reserved for the brown gelding Occi- dent, owned by Govenor Stanford, to be the first to knock the black out of that figure, which he did at the State Fair on the 17th day of September, 1873, making his mile in 2:163. The game little fellow is long since dead, but I oerUinly think he was the squarest trotter I ever saw in all my life- He was an unlucky horse, and his high temper caused him to lose several raoes he ought to have won. Scarcely had the excitement concerning Occident died away when a new star arose upon the firmament. This was a big, sleepy-looking bay stallion, owned by a man named Helm, residing on the upper San Joaquin. He was as constant a performer as can well be imagined, and finally got a record of 2:20£, besides beating Ocoident and the gre*t Blackbird. He was by Geo. M. Patchen Jr., out of a road mare called Whisky Jane, and is now owned in Virginia. His name ia Sam Purdy. From 1874 to 1876 appeared a lot of good and reliable young native horses, averaging from 2:25 to 2:28, among which I mention Lou Whipple, Dan Voorhees, San Bruno, Governor Stanford, Tommy Gates, Prince Allen and St_ Helena. Of these, the most noteworthy is little Tommy Gates, who trotted in 2:25 at four years old, and gave turf prophets a faint inkling of the great developments that were to come. Moreover, he was the exponent of a new strain of blood — The Moor — game as he waB handsome and good as he was big. The Moor wa6 by Clay Pilot, out of the great ten-mile mare Belle of Wabash, and it was no wonder, there- fore, that he became the founder of a great and useful fam- ily of trotters. In addition to being a good performer and the sire of performers, he likewise afforded a vigorous out- cross that could hardly be equalled for speed and gameness. The mellow September days of 1880 saw something unpre- cedented in the annuals of trotting, for 227 was twice beaten by two-year-olds within a few weeks. Fred Crooker, by Electioneer, trotted a mile in 2:25J, and only a few days later, Sweetheart, a daughter of Sultan (he by The Moor), did her mile in 2:26i. The same filly lowered her mark to 2:231, while Fred Crocker never again appeared on the turf. It wqb almost incredible that two-year-olds should have even equalled 2:30, muoh less beaten it. By 1883 a thorough rivalrv was organized between Gover- nor Stanford and Hon. L. J. Kose, of Los Angeles. Some- times the get of Electioneer were in the lead, and then Sultan would bring out some new favorite to explore the teens. One thing has been most commendable — no man ever henrd either of these gentlemen decrying the other's stock. Had they been Lord George Bentiock and the Duke of Westminster, their conduct could not be better worth imitation.

But they really happened, and have been recorded on the pages of turf history just as they were. On the trotting turf things have happened to make all the old veterans open their eyes with amazement. The first record has not been reaohed yet. but in these days of marvelous and wonderful feats who oan foretell what will happen ere this reaches the printer's case? Sunol and Palo Alto are to do their best at Belmont Park, and we will see the record tremble. Both divisions have made old Father Time lie dawn and weep under their fast flying feet. They have handled him without gloves, and yet he sticks his head up to be surely clipped off next season and probably this fall. The Louisville Fall meeting begins on the 16th. There are over a hundred horses in training there now. and with the Saratoga, West Side and Eastern contingents there should be over 500 horseB on the grounds by the opening day. Fer- guson will officiate as starter. After Louisville's meeting comes Latonia, which begins September 27th and continues till October 18th. Murphy's exhibition on Firenzi in the Monmouth Handi- cap, has probably been discussed throughout the country, and yet it is the topic of many conversations. Some censure Murphy and say he was drunk, while others say he was drugged. Well, do all people who know Isaac well, known that he looks upon the wine that is red too often? If Isaac wasn't drunk when he made me very happy by letting Bill Letcher beat Riley out for the Latonia Derby, then I never saw a drunken man. He was dead drunk in that race, and many know it. I do not mean to say he was drunk when he so unmercifully yanked timid little Firenzi all over Mon- mouth's broad track, for it may be that he was not. Mur- phy is a man, and he has to undergo a hard process of wast- ing away that he may ride at a low weight, and after a-hard effort to get down, just the least strong stimulant is enough to bring about vertigo or something like that, that may cause him to seem beastly drunk. But Murphy, even when drunk« can put up as good a finish as nine-tenths of the boys we see in the pig-skin nowadays. This is his last season in the saddle, as he has made it known that he will never again tax his physical powers by trying to get down to riding weight. By the way, this reminds me that we are again to see Jimmy McLaughlin in the saddle. He will part company with Lorillard, and I am told will again ride for Dwyer. McLaughlin, I fear, will find it too big a task reducing. "Dare Devil" Fitzpatriok has several times been near deaths door from this, and only his conrage held him up. How many good jookeys — I mean first-class jockeys and not stable lads — have we in America to-day that could again ride if the weights were only raised, say five pounds? That they will have to be raised for this reason seems eminent, for in a few more seasons we will be totally unable to find any first class material. To-day scores of stable lads are to be seen upon the backs of oraok horses in the big handioaps and two-year- old races. They do not know the first principle of jockey- ship, and are only fit to trail in behind a good jockey and a very poor horse. Such are the conditions to-day, but these wiseacres who manipulate — or think they do — all these evib have nothing to say regarding them. Some time since I made mention of the great difference in the value of two and three-year-old mares, and those for the older division. It will be seen that my predictions were just about right. Salvator, the greatest horse that has lived, has won five races this season worth $25,200 and Potomac, a two-year-old. has won two and about $75,000, and half a dozen mediocre three-year-olds have captured more than has the great champion. Take from Sslvator's winning the amount won by his matoh race and race against time we have a total of $12,700. Bat this is a paltry sum for such a horse to win in three raoes, two of whioh, the Cham, pion and Suburban, are expected and looked up as the two" greatest races of the year. The net value of these two races were $10,900. To be sure that is enough to make an owner train a horse several years for. Do you wonder at owners retiring their well bred horses after their three-year-old form ? There is more money in breeding to them than in training them' _ Kenmesaw. Racing1 at Portland. Some weeks ago a match race was arranged between sev- eral horse owners at Portland, Oregon, the conditions being that eaoh one should stake $500, the forfeit being $100, the winner to take all the money including the gate receipts. Five entries were made, but owing to "a leg" Alta was with- drawn. The Oregonian says of the race: We are all Ham men now Kitty won a Bplendid victory yesterday— won it fairly on its merits and without a bauble. The Washingtonians who went home "broke" on theeve of Alta's victory, are now in cast and correspondingly jubilant over the clever work of their heroine, who is to day one of her foremost citizens. The losses yesterday, putting for the moment the owners out of the calculation, were men who could afford to lose and had really no right to expect to win. They were outsiders, and thought they knew everything. For weeks The Oregonian has been telling them that little could be expected of Ante- lope. Kitty and J. S. C. were pointed out as the likely win- ners, and proved to be the only two that were in the race. The big horse made many friends by his hard work. His Patchen head and Dexter g.iit behind were noted. He labors considerable, it is true, but will overcome that, as he is just out of the stnd. Susie disappointed many, and none more so than Captain Sorenson, who everybody wants to see win. Her sickness appears to have told upon her, and the distance was given her jn the second heat for running. Mr. Glassford evidently saw he was in too fast company, for it was at his request, ac- quiesced in by the judges, that Sawjer went up benind the chestnut in the second heat. The crowd that attended the race surpassed all expectations . It was equal to any first day ever held at City View. A re- markable number of fashionable people in carriages were out, showing that the fame of the great horses now here has taken firm hold on the people. It is a matter of deep significance that Bociety is beginning to look with more favor on racing here. Nothing adds more to the zest of a day's racing than to have a grand stand crowded with the beauty, wealth and fashion of a great city. The prime coarse of this new move- ment is undoubtedly to be ascribed to the standing of the new association, in a financial and business way. Every one has confidence in the management, knowing it to be dead set against jobbery and determined to give comfortable accom- modations. FirBt heat — Auction pools: Antelope $40, Susie S. $20, Kittv Ham $19, J. S. C, $10. Mutuals paid on Kitty Ham $18.75. Susie S. drew the pole; then Antelope, Kitty and J. S. C. Mix's big Btud delayed the scoring, which occupied Beveral minutes. They were finally sent off, with Susie off her feet. She quickly recovered, however, and settled down to second place, Kitty taking the pole on the turn, Antelope going up badly and barely escaping being passed by J. S. C. who was making some very high j amps. At the quarter Kitty had increased her lead to three lengths, and kept her advantage to the finish. Susie went off her feet at the second turn, and let Antelope in to second place, 3. S. C. to third. On the backatretch Hogoboom pressed J.S. C. up to a very pretty brush with Antelope, finally wresting second place from him. Susie was challenging J. S. C. at the three-quarters, but broke. She could only get it at the finish by half a length over J. S. C, Kitty coming on a slow trot a good three lengths ahead, Antelope fourth by three lengths. Second heat — Auction pools: Kittv Ham §30, Antelope $10, Field $7. MutualB paid on Kitty"$10.25. Sawyer was up behind Antelope, but fared little better, if any, than GlasBford. It looked at first as though J. S. C. would make it hot for Kitty, but she set too fast a pace for him. Susie's breaking sent her back to fourth place. At the half, the order was Kitty by two lengths, Antelope by three, Susie by three. On thu homestretch Antelope did some hard running, J. S. C. coming down very cleverly and finishing second two lengths behind Kitty, Susie distanced for run- ning. Third heat— Auction pools: Kitty Ham $20, Field $10. MutualB paid on Kitty $8 60. Antelope was withdrawn on account of lameness. There was daylight between Kitty and J. S. C. when they were sent off, the mare having the advan- tage. The stud acted as though he wanted to win the heat, and crowded her up to the faBtest quarter and half of the raoe, proving himself a Btayer. He showed himBelf also to be a handy breaker, and though he went np two or three times, settled quickly to work and made a good race all the way around. He waB second at the finish by a scarce length. SUMMARY. Trotting, sweepstakes of §2100 and gate receipts; three in five; for named horses, C. A.

Ab nearly as I remember, the paragraph read as follows. "The Bteanjer "Storm King,' Capt. Turner, arrived yepterday after one of the most remarkable voyages that probably ever befell an 'ocean greyhound.' She left Queenstown on January 27, at 4 p, x., and reached Sandy Hook yesterday at * o'clock. This makes her aotu- al time six days, nineteen hours. On Jan. 30, in latitude 43 degrees, 60 minutes riorth, and longitude 49 degrees, 2o minutes west, in per- fectly clear and smooth weather, the ship was struck by an enormoui tidal wave, which nearly threw her on her beam-ends, smashed in her port rail and bent the heavy stanchions as if they had been pins. Capt. Turner says that In his 22 years' experience he never saw the waters seethe and roar as they did on this occcsion. The weather be - ing fine, the majority of the passengers were upon the decks, from which they were swept like chaff before the wind. The struggles of the men and the shrieks of the women were appalling. When the waters finally subsided but 25 of the 85 passengers remained, and al- though the engines were reversed, the boats lowered, and the waters scanned carefully, not a soul was to be seen, all of the 60 swept over- board having found a watery grave. This is the saddest calamity that has happened in many years upon the Atlantic." I well remember the great excitement wbieh prevailed when the above dispatch was flashed over the United States, The passenger list bore names from almost every State in the Union, and the friends and relatives awaited with feverish impatience the published list of the names of the twenty-five survivors. The next day the great eastern dailies contained i nil particulars, given with ; that adherence to realism that marks the pathway of the modern newspaper. Indeed, it was claimed that the reporter who wrote np the occurrence was a bit too realistic The scene when the waves rolled over the steamer; the ecreams of the women; the despairing cries of the men; the set white faces; the eyes wide with {ear, their expression like those of a hnnted animal at bay; the pierciDg cries of "save me or I die" — all these conpled with the crash of the waters were depicted with a fidelity that caused a shudder to creep over the ordinary reader and a groan to escape the relatives of the anfortunate dead. Among the terse descriptions of the people drowned ap- peared the following: "Walter Bennett, aged 25, fair complexion, blue eyes, about 5 feet 10 inches, probable weight 160 pounds, native of England .'• About six years after, I was eating dinner at the old Auze- rais House in San Jose. Shortly alter my entrance to the dining room, a gentleman joined me at table whom I had seen loitering about the street daring the afternoon. How our conversation started I do not now remember. At all events we were soon engaged in an argument as to embryo- nic life, he taking the unparalleled and unheard of standpoint that life could be brought about by a sort of protoplasm, in which the development of every function was neoessarily somewhat slow, but yet very sure. "Why," said he, ''animal life can be originated, if you will allow the expression, by the concentration of vegetable germ cells, properly prepared and applied. The seoret, of course, is in the manner of preparation and mode of application. Oome to No. 14 at eight this evening and I will try to con- vince yoa that I am right." He arose abruptly and left the room. Nothing but his quiet manner and evident education would have entitled his opinion to any respect, and indeed I was in rather of a quan- dary aB to his sanity as it was. Promptly at 8 o'clock I made my way to No. 14. In an- swer to my knock he opened the door and bade me enter: He lit the other gas jets, wheeled an easy chair into the cen- ter of the room and waved me into it. As he seated himself near me he said: "I suppose we may as well get somewhat acquainted. Your card proclaims your name and business. I have no card but I can tell you of myself. Do you remember some years ago of reading that the steamship "Storm King" was struck by a great wave and sixty odd persona swept over- board? You do? Very good, I am one of the people wh0 went into the oc9an!" "But," I exclaimed, "not one of thoBe people were heard of again." "Quite true, but nevertheless you see belore you one of the crowd that the waves carried away. In order to proper- ly lead up to our conversation at dinner I must beg of necessity to relate to yon a tale that no one would give cred_ ence to if in print. But as wonderful as it all may Beem, I will testify to the truthfulness of every assertion, and I hope at no distant day to be able to prove to the world at large that what I am about to relate has existence in fact and is capable of actual demonstration." "The 'Storm King' was, as nearly as I can judge, about half way between the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands, and her regular track across the Atlantic, from Queenstown Ireland, to Sandy Hook, New Jersey, when the mountain o water Bwept her decks, and we were lifted like jack-strawH and thrown into the ocean with great violence. I was pitched head 6rBt into the water with such force that I muBt have sunk some fifteen fathoms. Then occurred a most singular thing. It seemed to me in my dazed condition that I was carried along horizontally with great velocity. It also seemed that my momentum increased as I went. Even to my half consoious senses I realized that I was drawn along in a sub- marine current, many of which exist in the Atlantic from 10 to 50 fathoms down. This current differed from any I have had experience with, from the faot that the center of it was tilled with air, which blew through this watery tunnel with much velocity, and was extremely cold as well. As the suction grew stronger I waB oftentimes whirled over, first on my face and then upon my back.my gyrations resembling very much the eccentric motion of an Australian boomerang as it descends to the earth from midair. Suddenly a slight roaring noise reached my ears, which increased in volume as I progressed. You must understand that I must have been carried along at a rate of possibly fifty miles an hour I had a hard struggle to keep my mouth and nose free of water sufficiently long to take breath. The roaring increased until it sounded like peals of thunder. I was suddenly shot upward some hundreds of feet, and realized that I was be ing tossed about upon a vast column of water much as a bal] is tossed upon the jet of a fountain. With a final Bhoot up- wards I was thrown Borne distance and fell, to my amaze- ment, upon land. Half stunned and somewhat bruised I staggered to my feet and looked about me. The thing I had been thrown out of was a spouting geyser, and even as I looked the roaring died away and the waters subsided, leav- ing exposed a cone-like crater about four feet above the land- Looking around me I discovered that I was upon a very large island— bow large I did not know.bnt the heavy timber and tropical undergrowth hid from view what I afterward found to be the main part of the island. The sun was very warm, and the steam arising from my wet clothes recalled me to nay situation. Removing most of my clothes I wrung the water from them and hung them over a ktcjama bush to dry. Within an hour I put them on and started upon a tour of what I thought an uninhabited island. The forma, tion of the land would be hard to describe. It seemed a sort of turf, like one sometimes sees upon a marsh, though firmer withal. Ab I advanced many forms of tropical growth met my eyes, with none of which I was familar. ImmenBe trees, resembling the giant bamboo, towered to great heights, while among the smaller growth I at last espied a bread- fruit tree, the only thing I bad thus far seen that looked like anything I bad hitherto encountered. In the center of the forest I suddenly came upon a circular basin hollowed out of the ground, the center of which was about six feet deep. This basin was about ',75 feet across. Near the outer circle of this basin, upon square pedestals of earth, I was astounded to see some sore of animals moulded in clay. They appeared upon cloBer observation to resemble a buffalo calf. I got down and handled them, and found they were smoothly made and very hard. The contour of all was alike. They were very perfectly moulded, but the most sin- gular thing of all were the eyes. They were made from some substance that gave them the brilliancy of life. You may judge of my surprise when I encountered these things. Filled with curiosity I went forward. Within fifteen minutes walk I noticed the glistening of hundreds of glass houses (for so I thought them). Of all sizes, shapeB and colors, the hues Of the rainbow would pale into insignificance beside their united reflection. Hurrying forward, I was surrounded by hun- dreds of copper-colored natives, who jabbered incessantly and gazed upon me in wonder. They took hold of my clothing, my handb and my hair. Suddenly one of them near me darted away and returned shortly with an old man of patri- archial appearance, whom I recognized, in spite of his dark skiD, as a white man. I stood like one in a dream while the old man tremblingly approached. He paused in front of me* and holding his hands toward me, said in English: "Bo I again see a white man?" I replied that he did, and gave him a history of my man- ner of reaching the island. Before my narrative was com- pleted, he waved his hands and the natives immediately left us. Bat why continue? I could entertain you for hours with the wonders of that island, but the recitation would tire me and render you incredulous. I will therefore only touch upon that part which has bearing upon oar discussion at dinner. The houses were built, I will say, by the way, of a gum which exudes from a variety of tree on the island and after short exposure to the air hardens like flint. The different colors are obtained by mixing coloring material with the gum. The old man proved to be an Englishman, 71 years of age. He was wrecked off the Azore Islands, and after several days in a small boat was cast upon this island. Being hospitably treated by them, he soon learned their language, and in time became their chief. He had lived upon the island for thirty- 8ix years. Briefly stated by himself, his life upon this island was more wonderful than Alladdin and his wonderful life; the travels of Baron Munchausen or the Arabian Nights. For while these latter are simply vague imageries of the brain, his experience were real. His most wonderful discovery was the finding and proper preparation of a plant resembling mullen, by whioh process an oil was produced. This oil had a life giving power, properly applied. Bananas and bread fruit are plentiful on the island, but no animals are to be found, having become extinct through constant pursuit This difficulty was obviated by molding in clay any animai and rubbing it briskly with the wonderful oil, whioh gave it life. Thus an inexhaustible supply of fresh meat could al- ways be had. The natives had grown sn used to this thing that it no longer caused comment among them. Th« strange, ness of the proceeding grew less and less as time went by, until finally I looked upon it as an every day affair. Stan. yan, the old Englishman, was looked upon by the natives aB a superior being and they did not bother themselves in try. jng to unravel his mysteries, deeming it impossible and therefore useless. In the old country I was a bit of a horseman and one day j proposed to Stanyan that we make a horse, to which' be agreed. Our efforts were successful from the first. The old man was a moulderof great ability, and after making a per- fect piotureof a racWr in clay we would "life it", as we termed it. Our first horses lacked speed, but I soon discovered that a brisker application of the oil, aocompanied by more friction upon the clay, produced an animal of more speed, Aoting upon this theory we finally produced an animal of exquisite proportions that went a measured mile for UBin 1:12. I told Stanyan that unlimited wealth was ours, if we could get such horses to England or America, and keep secret the man- ner of their creation. In those days a thoroughbred that could run a mile in 1:40 was a good horse. The question was how to get to civilization. A ship. Bteamer, sloop, or fishing boat had never been Been by the oldest inhabitant. Finally I conceived the bold project of building a boat and trusting to fortune to meet a steamer or vesBel of some kind upon the ocean. When all was ready I wrung the old man's hand bid a kindly adieu to the natives and trimmed up sail toward the rising sun. For several hours I bad the singular sensa- tion of sliding down hill at great speed. When I looked back- ward the water seemed to rise at an angle of 45 degrees, yet it seemed smooth and level ahead. The second day out a heavy squall struck my boat and capsized it. After bard work I righted it and baled out the water, but my provisions were gone and my position seemed hopeless. To make matters worse I lost my bearings. For four days I drifted on the open sea. Then hunger and third overcame my better judgment and I drank some salt water. That, you know, is as fatal ordinarily as lying down in the snow during a storm. At the olose of another day was de- lirious, and then I lost consciousness. When IJagun opened my eyes I was on a cot in a New Orleans hospital, having been picked up by the steamer "Astral" on her regilar run between Liverpool and the Gulf of Mexico. When I was convalescent I returned to England, where I was mourned for dead. To the numerous inquiries of m friends, I simply said that I had been miraculously saved. Being possessed of a large private fortune, I fitted out, at a cost of 10.000 pounds, a steam yacht, took a picked crew and spent the next summer in a vain search for the island. Early the following summer I was again out. One night, as (he sun sank into the sea, the day having been particularly pleasant, one of the seamen suddenly cried out that we were running up killl I rushed to the bow, and saw that be was right. Remembering my experience upon leaving the is- land, I was filled with excitement. In a very short time, however, the yacht ran down again. I then understood that our course wae across the apparent rise and not up it. We put about aB Boon as possible, and although we tried until too dark to see, we failed to find the swell again. Every summer since, I have kept up a fruitless search. But I must find it sometime. I have a different theory that I shall work upon next summer. I am confident that I shall find the island at last! Think of a runner doing a mile in 1.12! And with a little more attention to detail, I feel sure we can produce one that oan touch 1;03 or 1:04", and in con- templation of this beatific state of affairs, my companion leaned back in his chair and gazed steadfastly at me. "By the bye, you have not told me your name." Regarding me earnestly he replied, "My name is Walter Bennett." The next morning at eight o'clock I knocked again at No. 14. Receiving no answer, I opened the door. The roo: was vacated. Inquiring at the office adduced the fact th Mr' Bennett left on the early train. Harvey Warde Peck. Lakeport Races.

This mare previously produced Bargo and Wyoombe to the oover of Maribyonong, the sire of Segenhoe., Bargo won the A. J. 0. Derby, and Wycombe defeated both Abercorn and the Australian Peer at three miles in Ootober 1S88, at Sydney. Segenhoe is own brother to Richmond, sire of Tradition and the Admiral; Bosworth, sire of Boz, winner of last year's Ganlfield Gup. This is a good runoiDd family, and Tbirlmere will be heard from again. She ia the property of Mr. Thomas Payten who was trainer to Hon. James White, recently deceased. 1890 'gkz ^vze&tv and gpovtstam. 233 Grim's Gossip. The grev gelding Jack has reduced his record from 2:15 to 2:124. ' Sidney has another in the list, Faustino having trotted in 2:26 i. Coral made a record of 2;25 at Sacramento on Thursday. She is a full sister to Anteeo 2:16J and Antevolo 2:19£. Dr. K. D. Wise purchased Annie Nutwood by Nutwood at the Gardner sale held in Los Angeles during the past week. The price paid was §1750. Those who are in the habit of bidding for privileges at race meetings should read the advertisement of the Breeders Association in this issue. Mr. E. J- Travis has sold to F. S. Gorton, his one-half interest in Pleasanton, a two-year-old own brother to Mar- garet S. We congratulate Mr. Gorton on the posesBion of a colt that is destined to become greatly in demand as a sire. The Ukiah Park Association will hold a racing meeting on October 2d, 3d and 4th, for which an excellent speed pro- gramme has been prepared. Running and trotting races fill up the bill, and a grand time is promised to all who attend. |WNo mention has yet been made in any turf paper of the death of King David. This three year old Bon of Kyrle-Daly — Trophy, died of lockiaw, the reBult of running a nail in his hoof. He was the property of Steve Stroud, of Nor- walk. Seoretary Neal, of the Pleasanton Stook Farm, has gone to Portland, Ore., where he will receive Homestake, 2:23, after his race there to-day. Ed Lafferty has done wonderfully well with the gelding, and secured a low record for the son of Gib- raltar. Scott Qninton has bought , it ia Baid for Marcus Daly, of Montana, the three-year-old filly Sappho, by Robert Mc- Gregor, dam by Clark Chief. This is said to be a very speedy fitly, capable of beating 2:20, but she will not be trotted until next year. Mr. Salisbury brought back with him a roan filly two years old by Jay Bird, dam Sister Wilkes 2:22J by George Wilkes, and two bay fillies by Onward, both three years old. In the same car was a chestnut mare twelve years old, Sister to Blue Belle, by Blue Bull. Charles Taylor, of Rutland Vermont. 1b claimed to be the oldest trotting driver in America, having recently celebrated his eighty-third birthday. By the way. Uncle Simeon Hoag- land cannot be very far behind him. We siw him drive old Pelham forty-four years ago. The Breeder and Sportsman publishes that the judges at City View ruled Barney McCaugh and Billy Waterford off the track. Why did not the Sportsman say that the same judges had reinstated Waterford. — Rural Spirit. Because we had not heard of the re-instatement until the above notice appeared. Theodore Winters purchased on Sept. 1 from Mrs Harriet Brown, Holmdel N. J., the bay mare Lady Dare, foaled 1S33, by Fiddlesticks, dam imported Dauntless, by Macaroni, and the bay mare Polly Vic, foaled 1882. by Victory (son of Billet) dam Polly H. by Harry Bassett. Both mares are in foal to Atilla. Mr. Winters' stock was shipped ou the 2nd. The churoh authorities have been overhauling the Rev. iMr. Varney for giving trotting exhibitions of his horses. ,The parson's reply is as courteous as it is cool and method- ical He Bays he dH exhibit his horses but allowed no bet- ting nor pool sel'iog on the course. Up to date Mr. Varney has a good deal the best of it, and has our sincere wishes that he nuy overthrow his bigoted and intolerant accusers. The Union Clubs of Berlin, Germany, representing the trotting interests of that country, have appointed the Secre- tary of the National Trotting Association of America an In - I'apeetor or Censor to guarantee by the certificate of the Ab- > aociation the identity, pedigree and record of all horses pur- shaaed in this country and shipped to Germany. Certificates ! will cover horses to be used for breeding, driving and trot- ling purposes. i Charlie Darfee is getting together a very formidable string or the Fairs to be held in Southern California. He has Mc- i Sinney, Leonor and Geronimo in training. By the way, Mc- ; iinney's 2:29 is still the best record made by a three year )ld on the California circuit this year. McKinney is one of he most fashionably bred youngsters in those parts, being >y Alcyone, one of the beBt sons of the celebrated George - Wilkes. On Friday, September 19th, Froomberg & Co. will sell at mblic auction at Mayfield, by order of A. P. Hotaling, Esq., ■ .tmeteen head of fashionable bred trotting stock and three egistered Holstein bulls. Among them is the stallion Gen. Jenton Jr., sired by Gen. Benton, owned by Gov. Stanford. ?hiB stock is the get of Elector, by Electioneer and Gen. Ben- an Jr. For catalogues and further particulars, inquire of 'roomberg & Co., 621 Mission Street, 8. F. On Wednesday morning of last week, the new stables lately rected by the Terre Haute Trotting Association, were burned p the ground. The Palo Alto stable, now in the EaBt, occu- ied these stalls when at Terre Haute, and thev were full of orse§ at the time of the conflagration. Fortunately, a holo- )Bt was prevented by the indefatigable and heroic work of .ie men at the grounds, but several of the workers were more f less blistered while removing the animals from the burn- ig buildiijgs. One of the brightest exchanges that comes to the table of le Breeder and Sportsman is the New York Spirit of the imes. It is ably conducted by E. A. Bnek, a brilliant wri- ■ r and an exceedingly good horseman. Last week he pur- lased from the Scoggan Bros, the fast filly English Lady, i. f. by Miser, dam Bonny Lass, paying for her the long ice of $10,000. That Mr. Buck may win her out in a >eedy manner is my heart-felt wish. Glenwood Park will be a scene of activity the week after I 8 State Fair meeting, as the Nevada County Agricultural isolation will hold their annual meeting. The president the Board of Directors has visited many of the other meet- ga, and the assurance of liberal entries have been made. le Grass Valley and Nevada City folks turn out in large imbers to these fairs, and the miners of Nevada County »ays look forward with pleasure to what they term "the Those who attend should have a right royal Frank Khert who purchased the Winters strin°: of horses for $35,000, has secured the services of Jimmy McLaughlin as jockey for next season, that well known knight of the pig skin agreeing to reduce to 120 pounds. The horses will be be entered as from "the Hellgate Stable", and the colors are to be white jacket, Bcarlet cuffs, cap and star on breast and back. At the recent Moonee Valley (Australia) meeting the Cor- inthian handicap for gentlemen riders, was won by Mr. C. J. Nichols on Danseuse, who carried 140 pounds, while three others carried less than 130. Danseuse was bred at Tocal by F. S. Reynolds and is by Goldsbroogh — Maritana by New Warrior, her dam Mermaid (g dof Melos) by Fisherman. Mar- itana is the dam of Hon. L. J. Rose's bay mare Harmony, by The Drummer, also bred by Mr. Reynolds. The distance was six furlongs. The Flemington Steeplechase, two miles, run mar Mel- bourne on the 19th of July, was won by Mr. S. Miller's b g Renmark, by Dante, out of Coolyrie by Panic, her dam Seak* ale by imp. Ladykirk. Seakale is the dam of Senator Rose's bay mare Rose of California, now in foal to Dunlop, who won the Melbourne Cup of 1S87, carrying 115 lbs and cov- ering the two miles in 3:28J, the be*t time evar made at that distance in a race between horses. There were 28 starters in Dunlop's year and the great Trenton was Becond with the Australian Peer a good third. The popular hotel of Napa for a long time has been the one conducted by W. J. McCollum. When this gentleman first went to Napa, he at once identified himself with all pop- ular movements, among others the Solano and Napa Agri- cultural Society. In short order he became one of the Direc- tors, and proved a valuable member of the Board. A few days ago he sold out his interest in the hotel, and has now purchased the Pacific Ocean House at Santa Cruz, where he will reside in future. "Mac" is a splendid fellow, and has a host of friends among the horsemen of California. The imported bay mare Phcebe Marks, owned by Hon. L. J. RoBe, and the only one of hia recent importation bred to Australian time, gave birth to a male foal last week and the Senator says it is a grand looking colt. Its sire is Othello by The Barb (who won the Sydney Cap carrying 148 lbs.) out of Fairy Queen by imp Peter Wilkins, brother to Rose de Florence. Phcebe Marks is by the great two-miler Kings- borough out of Lady Aadley (dam of The Secret) by Little John (2). She is a blood bay mare nearly sixteen hands hieh and her foal is the aarne color. We suggest the name of Rosemeadefor the new arrival, he being the first thor- oughbred foal at that place. There is a sensation promised at the Breeders' Meeting, which I doubt if even any of the Directors know anything at all about at present. Several very fast team records have been made in the past at various points throughout the United States, and now a gentleman resident of California thinkB he can bsat any time heretofore made. Now that the attention of the Breeders' Association has been called to the matter, it is probable that a purse or trophy will be offered for any one who may lower the present team record. The pair of horses that the owner contemplates starting are far apart in paint of record, and it will be a clever guesser who can name the two. When they start I want to have a trifle ou the team as against time. The bay yearling colt by Wildidle— imp Flirt by Hermit and therefore an own brother to Flambeau, owned by Sena- tor RoBe, died at that gentleman's farm last week after an illness of five weeks. He had as bad a case of distemper as ever a colt oould have and had apparently recovered from it. The groom went into his stall at 11 o'clock at night and gave him a bucket of water. The colt drank it down with a relish and appeared well enough for a convalescent. In the morning the groom looked in again and found him lying there dead. This loss, coming on that of the Sir Modred — Schoolgirl colt, would totally discourage a less plucky man than the master of Rosemeade. But the Senator ib a good up-hill fighter and disowns any relationship with folks that cry over spilt milk. Speaking of the new exp-riment of single heat trotting races at Fleetwood, the New York Herald says: The experiment of dash races is an assured success. The initial attempt in this direction, on Wednesday last, indica- ted this, and the solid success yesterday made a certainty of the idea. The attendance was nearly double that of Wednes- day, and the average New Yorker of sporting proclivity seemed satisfied that he could obtain as much for his money, win or lose, by speculating on the dash trots at Fleetwood as he could at any of the running tracks. Decisions were equally as quick, and the contests themselves between the horses were quite as interesting as Sheepshead or Monmouth have ever afforded. The five races were so promptly dis- posed of and the facilities for going to and from the track were such that the 2000 people who attended the races were able to return to their homes in time for a 6 o'clock dinner. Theodore Winters' famous colt, El Rio Rey, in company with a number of mares which are to be used for brood mares arrived at the Fair Grounds last week, says the St. Louis Republic, and will be given a rest a few days before they take up their long journey to California. The other members of the stnng, including Average, San Juan, Joe Courtney, Rey del Rey and a couple of other leaser lights were purchased by Frank Ehret, the wealthy New York brewer, for $35,000, who was under the impresBion that Rey del Rey's chances for the Futurity Stakes at Monmouth were very promising. El Rio Rey is looking in splendid form, and his appearance would not indicate that he is suffering from any trouble. He will be placed in the Btud upon his arrival at his home in California. Peach Blossom, one of the mareB that arrived yesterday, is sick with peritonitis, and Trainer Evans, who has charge of the string, has small hopes for her recovery. When Jack beat Palo Alto at Detroit we were treated to some wise and learned remarks on the subject of breed- ing the trotter, says the Live Stock Record. One writer in particular with a most portentious and obstretrical cast of countenance, a sure indicative that he was parturient with something prodigious, announced the fact that Jack was a much better Btayer and higher class trotter than Palo Alto. But unfortunately Palo Alto has beaten Jack twice since his defeat at Detroit, and trotted a third heat in 2:13, the fastest heat ever trotted in a race. Since Palo Alto's Buccess some of the opponents of thoroughbred blood in the trotter are as dumb as oysters, while some others who have committed themselves so far, when thoy allude to it are extremely rest- less and impatient to draw the notice of Palo Alto's success to a close, and run all over the subject like a goose in the agonies of egg-laying, and try to escape the issue in high •ounding phrases of instinct, hereditary, pure trotting blood, etc. Vineland Stock Farm. Having received maoy pressing invitations to visit the stock farm of F. W. Loeber of Vineland, Napa County, ad- vantage was taken of a few leisure hoara last week and a vis- it paid to that gentleman's nlace. Mr. Loeber first came to Napa Valley in the year 1877, and, it can truthfully be said, was one of the very btst to advocate strongly the necessity of breeding standard stock. There were but few in the neigh* borhood at the time who had paid any great amount of at- tention to the breeding problem so Mr, Loeber may be looked upon as one of the pioneers in that respect. After a time he purchased from Dr. Smith the well known stallion Naubuo 504 {full brother to Thomas Jefferson 253), who had brought him from the East; the Naubuc mares that are now in that neighborhood are commencicg to be recognized as producers of speed, and already three of them have produced, Cora C, 2:2Si, Redwood 2:27, and Eva W 2:23£. There can be no question but what in time all the mares by this horse will be eagerly sought after by those who primarily want the blood of fillies that can produce trotters. After a few years Mr. Loeber purchased a small vineyard which we are pleased to say at the present time contains no phylloxera and has as tine a looking lot of vines as can be found in the entire Napa Valley. In addition to the vine- yer Is. Mr, Lieber has one hundred and forty acres of pas- ture land kept for the use of broodmares and young stock. This acreage is divided into many medium sized paddocks, all of which are seeded either with alfalfa or rye grass; there is not a single one of the small pastures but what contains running water, a river and a creek meandering through the farm. At this time of year tine green feed is observable in every one of the paddocks, and the stock looks in the very pink of condition. After disposing of Naubuc.Mr. Loeber became the owner of Whippleton 18S3(8ire of Homestake 2;16£,LiIlie Stanley 2:17J, Cora C. 2:28£ and Flora B. 2:27) who has left in that neigh- borhood many of his get, all of which are either fast trotters or first class roadsters. In the course of time Mr. Loeber aUo secured Alcona 730. a magnificent chestnut of fine conformation, Bplendid carriage and one which produces speed from all classes of mares. Alcona was bred by the late Gen. W, T. Withers of Kentucky, end was brought to this coast some years ago by the late Silas Skinner. He ia by Almont 31 dam Queen Mary by Mainbrino Chief If. Such blood combinations as this Bnould surely prove of great valae to those who may take advantage of the oppor- tunity to secure foals by this representative stallion. Al- though with but limited opportunities Alcona has already in the liet Flora Belle, record 2:24 and also Alcona Jr. 2:30J sire of Silas Skinner 2:20i). As iB well known.Alcona is the sire of Prince Warwick, who is now back East in the Hickok string and who trotted a mile on the Detroit track prior to the opening of the meeting there in 2:1S£, bnt for pome un- accountable reason ha3 as yet failed to win a heat, not- withstanding he has been in all grades of company. Alcona is also the sire of Clav Duke, who last year made a record of 2:31£, and there is no doubt but what if he had been handled this year would have reduced his record a great many sec- onds. These four are the only ones of the get of Alcona that have been trained, which should prove positively that this great eon of Almont is going to leave an indeliable mark as a Bpeed producer, and that before many years. The firBt colt that was dropped in this State by Alcona was Alcona Jr., the sire then being only three years old. Alcona Jr. was bred to Fontsna when only two years old, and the result of that union was the now celebrated horse, Silas Skinner, which goes to show the great power of this family to breed on. Mr. Lneber is also half owner with Mr. Crabb, in Grandis- simo, a full brother to Grandee. 2:231, heing by Le Grande out of Norma by Arthnrton; 2d dam Nourmahal, who is a full sister to A. W. Richmond. Owing to an attack of the epizootic, Grandissimo was not haDdled this year, bnt if everything goes welL will doubtlessly receive a very low mark next season. In his three-year-old form, with scarcely any work, he has shown many quarters in 36 and 37 seconds; he has only been given one full mile out, and that he accom- plished to cart in 2:40. With the blood lines of Grandissimo no one can find fault, and if he does not prove a very speedy trotter, it will be a surprise to everyone who knows the horse. Mr. Loeber also owns Alconeer, who is now in training at Mr. Crabb's private track, a distance of some three or four miles from Vineland. Some fifteen fine broodmares belong to Mr. Loeter, a large majority nf which are standard bred; they have been selected an much for individuality — that is to say perfeot conformation — as for pedigrees, the proprietor considering that perfect animals should be one of the requis- ites necessary in selecting broodmares for a breeding estab- lishment. In looking over several of the tabulated pedigrees, we find in the second and third dams the blood of Eugene CasBerly, General Taylor, Tick's Elhan Allen, and some of the popular thoroughbred strains such as Jack Hawkins, Billy Cheatham, etc. Mr. Loeber is a believer in the thor- oughbred cross, providing it is back two or three generations, feeling adBured that it gives greater endurance to the trotter when that blood i3 controlled by the trotting action of the later generations. In the close up strains we find among the mares the blood of Director, Milton Medium, Naubuc, Alcona, Whippleton, etc. In addition to hia being a vineyardist and prominent stock breeder, Mr. Loeber has found time enough to associate him- self with the Paoific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa- tion, of which he is one of the Directors. He was also for many years President of the Sonoma and Napa Agricultural Association and ia at present Vice-President of that Society. Mr. Loeber is also an ardent politician and works as hard for the BUcceBS of his party as he does for any of the many busi- ness ventures in which he is engaged. He has labored to inculcate the proper spirit in bis neighbors towards improv- ing stock, and although a young man has the satisfaction of seeing standard bred horses springing up on all sides of him. Time was taken to examine some Alcona fillies which were running loose in one of the paddocks, and it mast be confessed that they are all of great promise. This noted sire has the happy faculty of giving all his get great under- pinnings and it does not look as though the hardest of work would break any of them down. Mr. Loeber is i 1 *;n s pleased to show visitors what there is at the Vineland Stock Farm, and we have no hesitation in recommending any of our readers who may desire a pleasant day spent with agreeable company to visit his charming place in Napa county. Hon. William Pearson who ia immortalized in the South Continent as the owner of grand old Commotion, has woo three races with his handsome two-year-old tilly Good Luck by Main a, whose two miles in 3:30$ with 135 pounds in the saddle, is one of the world's heroic performances. 234 2Pxje ifrjejete and gpovismm. Sept. 13 THE GUN. Monterey Gun Club. Editor Bbeedes and Sportsman: — The Monterey Rod and Gan Club held its seoond meeting on Sanday last, and entertained a large number of visitors. The Bcores made by the majority of the members show great improvement as compared with the first official shoot, since which time all the members have been in constant practice. Great interest is taken in these matches, and already a rivalry oan be noticed between certain members as to who will be the winner of the first prize, a gold medal, aod the winner will certainly get something that is both ornamental and valuable. Frank Dangerfield, onr genial druggist, is the destined crack shot of the club. He made 16 clean hits oat of a possible 20. All the balance of the members shot remarkably well, and no doubt in the near future Monterey will have a pretty strong club of shooters. After the shoot, friends and iuvited guests of the club were royally entertained with bulls heads and baked mussels, refreshments, etc., after which all went home well satisfied with the day's sport. On Wednesday afternoon members of the club entertained Mr. Crittenden RobinBon and Mr. Irelan of your city. They were taken all over the grounds, after which Mr. Robinson and the members bad a friendly shoot. It is our intention to so conduct our organization that the members will not only improve in skill with the shot gun, but also so that the clab will be recognized as a company of genial sportsmen in whose gatherings not only shooters but ladies and gentlemen generally will find much to interest them. Our worthy President, Mr F. R. Day, will visit San Fran- cisco in a few days to renew old acquaintanceships. The scoreB on Sunday were made at 20 birds per man. A. S. A. rules.

The Ducks of America. ?OB THE BBEEDEB AND SPOBIBMAN. The American Eider Duck, Somaterla dresseri Sharpe. The common Eider of America is found from Maine to Labrador and South in winter as far as Delaware. There are four Bpecies of Eiders in America, all of which may be taken in the Union at some period of the year. In addition to the one named above, we have the European Eider, but found in the same localities as the above and most abundant in Greenland; the Pacific Eider which has a range from East- ern Siberia along the Northern Pacific Coast line of North America and to Great Slave Lakeland the King Eider, whicb has an extended Northern range, but is found casually in winter as far south as New Jersey and the Great Lakes. Our American Eider dnok is fouod breeding on the Atlan- tic Coast from Maine to Northern Labrador. "We once were favored by a seasonal appearance of these birds in consider- able numbers from the North, but as soon as the nesting sites were often disturbed on Grand Menan and smaller is- lands in that vicinity, the annual appearance was confined to a few struggling nocks. It is still one of the characteris- tic summer ducks of Newfoandland and Labrador, but from constant persecutions its numbers have been greatly dimin- ished. Mr. Frazer found this Eider breeding commonly on small islands on the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland, making the nest in the soft grass. The favorite nesting place was at the foot of a large rock or in the crevices between rocks, where the birds found shelter from the wind. They are al- ways made of the slate-colored down from the breasts of the birds. Most'of the nests contained four or five eggs, a large number six or Beven, and one eight. They are of a dull greenish drab in color, and are in measurement about three inches long by two, in their smaller dimension. When the female leaves her nest she covers the eggs perfectly with the down composing the structure, aod they are not to be seen unless the protecting layer of warm covering is removed. The Pacific Eider, S. v-nigra is a common species on both coasts and the islands of Behring's sea and the polar regions of Siberia. Dr. Stejneger says that it is now scarce on the Commander Islands and breed only in a few places. It nests on the Aleutian Islands and a few other places in great num- bers. The nesting habits are quite similar to those of the other species. The King Eid^r, S, spectabilis, is a beautiful Arctic duck. It is more particularly a resident of Greenland and is found on the Atlantic coasts of Europe and America and on the Pacific coaBts of America and Asia. The Common Eider, S. mollmima, so famouB for its down, which has become an article of commerce and luxury is common to both continents. Its plumage is whitish, but the upper part of the head, its belly and tail are black; the side of the head and the neck are white, bat the hair-like feath- ers on the back part of the cheeks are green of a delicate shade; the lower part of the neck is cream-colored. When the egga are laid the female, and according to some the male also, plucks the down from her breast and covers them with it. This down when shaken out will fill a space of a sis inch oube, a peculiarity in elasticity of substance also observed, bat to a less estent in all ducks and geese. The principal home of the Eider is Northern Europe and America, is among the fro/en seas and on the bleak coaBts during the nesting season. They frequently lay their eggs in nearly inaccessible places among the rocks, for the get- ting of which and their down the people lower themselves by ropes. If a nest is robbed of the eggs and down, another at- tempt is made to rear a brood, and the male furnishes from his breast the fluffy down as a protection for the eggs. Pen- nant, a celebrated naturalist thus desoribes a visit he paid to a nesting locality. "I found the birds sitting and took some of the nests, the base of which was formed of sea plants and covered with the down. After separating it carefully from the plants it weighed only three-quarters of an ounce, yet was so elastio that it filled a greater space than the crown of the largest hat. These birds were not numerous on the is- lands and it was observed that the males kept on the Bide most remote from the sittine-places. The ducks continue on the nest till you come almost upon them, And when they rise they are very slow flyers." Sir George, the Kenzie, in his 'Travels in Iceland,' says that "the boat in its approach to Vidoo passed multitudes of Eider ducks, which hardly moved out of the way; and be- tween the landing place and the Governor's house it required some caution to avoid treading on the nests while the drakes were walking about even more familiar than tame ducks. The ducks were Betting all around the house, on the garden wall, the roof, inside of the house and on the chapel." This description hardly coinoides with the account of an other writer who says: "The locality where the Eiders maka their nests is always difficult of access;" however, it ie fair to believe the record of McKenzie, the celebrated traveler and esplorer. The haunts of a bird yielding so valuable an ar- ticle are carefully watched, and the proprietors do everything in their power to attract them to their land; and in Scotland and Norway the districts resorted to by the Eider are care- fully preserved, everything likely to disturb them being strictly guarded against. The harvest which is desired from these birds is the source of considerable revenue. Eider-down being, in fact, a very large article of commerce. The rooks where the ducks build their nests are private property, and are handed down in families just as if they were the most valuable possessions. The Eider although so well qualified for swimming is not a good flyer, and since the general nse of firearms has come into vogue, their numbers have been greatly decimated, and in many quarters where they were formerly abundant, they are now not known, and the time described above, when the relations of man to these birds were such that Eiders would scarcely get out of one's way, are past. When the young emerged from the eggs, they very soon follow the mother to the water, when they all disappear for nearly a year, preferring a life on the ocean wave to any pleasures that the land oan offer. The young hatch generally about the first week in July. The food of the Eiders is mostly of the order of bi-valve mollnsca, but Crustacea are also available, The food is se- cured at the bottom of sea or river by diving, at which they are very expert. M. G. The Massachusetts Fish and Game Protective Association has issued the following circular letter which we commend to those whom It may concern: Dear Sir: The following kinds of game are wanted, viz.: Live prairie chickens, live sharp-tail grouse (commonly called pheasants), live wild turkeys, and live California quail (both mountain and valley kinds). Can you ship any of the birds above wanted? If so, at what price and about how many; also, at what time of the year would you prefer to deliver them. Terms to be cash on delivery of the birds, in suitable coops, to the express oom- pany at your place. If prices are satisfactory, the local agent of the express company in your place will be put in funds immediately, and he will have orders to pay for the birds as soon as delivered to him. An immediate answer to this is wished for, that orders maybe placed early. Should you not care to do anything in this line, please hand this to some friend of yours who might like to. DIRECTIONS POR SHIPPING LIVE GAME. Birds should be put in light crates or boses, with slat* in front and back, with cloth top, and tins or dishes for food and water fastened on outside of crate, so they may feed without spilling or fouling food and water. Prairie chickens and pheasants must not be sent more than 5 in each compartment of crate, which should be 15 inches high and 24 inches long and broad. Quail must not be sent more than 15 in each compartment of crate, which should be 6 inches high and 20 inches broad and long. Corn, either loose or on the ear, should be put in feediDg troughs of crates in which chickens or pheasants are sent, and wheat or rye when quail are sent. A card should be fastened on the coop, asking the express to fill the water dishes when needed. Particular Caution. — Crates in which, birds are shipped may be longer or wider than above stated, but not higher. The hends of birds when in the crate should touch the top covering, and that covering must be of cloth or baggiog and not slats. It is necessary that these instructions should be exactly followed, or the birds will arrive here dead. Dr. S. E. Knowles writes: — "Have you seen the new order recently passed by the supervisors regarding sale of ducks? Can you inform me of its provisions?" In order to answer authoritatively we asked Mr. Jno. A. Kussell, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors for a copy of the ordinance and that gentleman sends the following: Editor Breeder and Sportsman.— Order No. 2249. — Pro- hibiting any person from hunting, pursuing, selling, killing or offering for Bale, etc., any mallard duck, widgeon, etc., be- tween the 1 st day of March and the 1st day of September of each year. The People of the City and County of San Francisco do ordain as follows: Section 1. It shall be unlawful for any person, between the 1st day of March and the 1st day of September of each year, in the City and County of San Francisco, to hunt, pur- sue, kill or destroy, or to buy, sell, barter, exchange, offer or expose for sale, transport or have in his posession any mal- lard duck, widgeon, teal, redhead, pintail, gadwall wood- dnck or Jack Wilson snipe, commonly known as English snipe. Section 2. Any person violating the provisions of this order shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.and upon con- viction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or by im- prisonment in the County Jail for not more than six months.

The eighth International Fly and Bait Casting Tournament was brought off at Orleans House, Twickenham, on the Thames, near London, England, on August 9th. The cast- ing tournaments were instituted by Mr. R. B. Marston, editor of the leading publication for Anglers, The Fishing Gazette, Eng.,and they have all been most succeBBful, thanks to the esecutive ability and energy of that gentleman. The one recently concluded was by odds the most interest- ing of the series, and we condense an account of it from The Fishing Gazette, regretting that we are unable to give space to all the details as to bait casting. Mr. A. J. Little's arrangement for measuring the distances for fly-casting was an improvement even on previous years. The raft was moored lengthways in the river by stakes driven in the bed of the stream and cut off short. At 5 feet from the end of the raft was a wooden demarcation, behind which every competitor had to stand. From this mark at the side of the raft was fised a wooden marking rod, or rather rods, marked in feet and 6 inches to 129 feet (or forty three yards), the marking commencing at 40 feet. The rods being some three inches square, were by means of sheet lead canted on edge, so that two sides were exposed out of the water, which sides were painted white, ana figured in large black letters so that the public on the one side could easily view the distance cast, and the judges, who were in a punt on the reverse side, could also determine the length of cast. The rods being some 23 teet long, were screwtd to- gether by flat pieces of iron, let into the wood, so that by this general arrangement it was almost impossible to get hung up with a cast, The raft was level with the surface of the water, and not raised 2 feet or more above it, as has been the case at pre- vious tournaments, both in this country and America. In the fly-caBting for accuracy for professionals, that method adopted seemed to give general satisfaction. As each competitor had to cast not less than 2S yards, at 84 feet, four pegs were driven iDto the ground, thus forming three openings on the water line, the center space being about ten inches, the outer spaces a li'.tl- over a foot. The judges determined to give three points for each oast in the centre space and one point for each cast in the two outer spaces. Any cast more than 3 feet beyond the distance or outside the four pegs not to count. Ten casts were al- lowed. To onlookers the performance appeared easy, but when two such expert fly-casters as Stevens and Kerss could only score six points each, the contrary is apparent. It is a pity there was not time-for a similar competition among amateurs. The bait-caBting competitions were carried out in two courts marked out on the grass. For the information of those of our readers who have nor been present at any of these pleasant gatherings, it may be Baid that the courts are formed by means of a ceDter tape marked in feet aod inches, with radiating boundary line, no cast outside the boundaries being allowed to count, any deviation also from the center line being deducted from the length of throw. Another con- dition laid down was that the bait, which was provided by the committee, would weigh 1$ oz. on the trace, and should be 24in. distant from the half-ounce lead, except, of course, in the heavy bait competitions, when a 2oz. bait was used, the lead being similarly dispersed. Only one American angler, Mr. Hewitt, appears as a con- testant, and in Class 7, where he won third prize, we infer that he used a five-ounce rod; for we learn from the text of a contributor: "I was not surprised to find that Mr. E. R. Hewitt could not do with his five-ounce what the winner, Mr. Maratoo, did with his powerful blue Mahoe." In Class 3 Mr. Marsion's rod failed him utterly — "the tool he handled fairly doubled up when he wanted to get some work out of it." In Class 14 Mr. Hewitt won first, but it was a common- place score; for Mr. D. Wilson, one of the judges, and the Hon. Secretary of the Fly Fishers' Club, after the contest, took a rod belonging to a competitor and switched bis fly 114 feet away, while he smoked a cigar.

He died on a ranch about six miles from Placerville. The old horde could trot a mile in three minutes only a year or two before his death. So Brewster and Blanchard both told me. I think his best record was S,:46£. made in Santa Cruz July 4th, 1871, while in the hands ot Elias Williams, a bro- ther of Pete Williams, the owner of Silver Bow. Mr. Elias WilliamB (sometimes called Doc Williams, I believe) bo wrote me and also wrote me that he gave him a trial in 2:37 on one oooaaion. His feet were bad from want of care in his early career, or be would have made quite a mark, bo I have been informed. Williams had him in charge for Hamilton. From the foregoing it would appear that the horse was foaled in 1858, was brought out here in 1860 (spiiog), that she served Grigeby's mare in 1S61, which was probably his first work in the stud; that he remained Vick'B property till about 1367 or 1868, and then left Napa County for good, made one season while Morribon owned him, possibly two seasons, and then went to San Jose and tbence to Placeivilld. I once in a great while Bee the man who negotiated the eale from Vick to Morrison, and when I next see him I will inter- view him, and if I get anything will give it to you. It is possible Mrs. Steere will remember definitely when she sold Vick to Morrison, for she got $700, as I am informed, and she was very warmly attached to the tilly. Very Truly Yours, W. E. Greene, oare of the horse part of the season and know just where he went. It would appear that the foregoing statements, from three gentlemen who were associated with Mr. Vick or the horse Ethan Allen, proves conclusively the following: Ethan Allen was brought to Marysville in I860 and kept on Vicks farm until 1864, when he brought him to St. Helena. He made the seasons ot 1864, 65, 06 and 67 at St. Helena and Napa, and the season of 1868 at Napa, and then left Napa County for good. The yonngeBt of any of hiB pro- dues from mareB in the vicinity of St. Helena would be 22 years, and from Napa and vicinity 21 years old. There are parties in Napa County who have mares by Vick's Ethan Allen, Jr., a son of Vick's Ethan Allen, and many honestly believe them to be by the old horse. This comes from the fact that Vick's Ethan Allen was known when here as Etban Allen Jr. The history of the young horse as given to me by John Potter and Ed. Kenyou is about an follows: Jos. Vick bought a good looking large roam mare from Jerre Porter, who had a place about Calistoga in 1865 or 66. I cannot find any one who knows anything of this mares breeding; all the parties who knew the horse say her breeding was un- known. This mare foaled a horse colt, bay, with four white feet and white face by Viok's Ethan Allen, 1867, and when he grew up was known as Vick's Ethan Allen Jr. This colt made several seasons in St. Helena, was sold to Van Arsdale of Pope Valley, Napa County, and was afterward sold and left the county. There are some mares sired by the youDg horse now used as blood mares in Napa County, and the owners suppose them to be by the old horse, and the mis- take has been occasioned by attaching the Jr. to both horses. Yours truly, Fred W. Loeber. A Time That is Cominer. I have interviewed some of the old residents of St. Helena, Napa Co. and consider the following statements quite reli- able. John Potter; a retired blacksmith who was in busi- ness here when Vick came here, and was closely associated with Jos. Vick for several years, Bays: Viok bought the colt "Vick's Etban Allen" to California in the summer or fail of I860; the colt was then a yearling past, he took him to Marysville and did not briog him to Napa Co. until 1804, when he made his first season at St. HeleDa and Napa. In 1866 or 1867 Vick traded the horse to the lute J. C. Morrison, liquor merchant of San Francisco, the consider- ation being for Morrison to furnish the Hotel Vick, whioh had just been completed at St. Helena and a certain amount of whisky to fnroinh the bar. Potter BayB 1867 was the last season the horBe made at St Helena. He thinks Morrison sent the horse back to Napa to make the season of 1868 but was not sure. Ed. Kenyou of St. Helena, says: 4m sure Vick bought "Ethan Allen" to St. Helena in 1864. I took care of him duriog the season 1866. Viok sold him to J. C, Morrison after the season of 1867. W. P. Grigsby of 8t. Helena, son of JesBe Grigaby, men- tioned in Judge Greene's letter, says: 'Tick's Ethan Allen stood at my father's place in 1866-67 and possBibly sooner. He was sold to J. 0. Morrison of San Francisco after the sea- son of 1867 and taken to San Francisco, and was sent back to Napa and made the season of 1868 at Napa and at father's place. He did not go to St. Heleua that season. I took BY AMBER. It is not necessary that everything in a horse paper should appertain to matters horsey, and the following beautifully written article copied from the Horseman is so full of senti- ment that we feel it a pleasure to reproduce it. Did you ever stop in the midst of life's tumultuous hurry and think to yourself about the "laBt time" that is on its way to you and to me? There will be a last time for the careless good-bye to wife and children as you hurry to the morning train. There will be a last time when your step will board the car and your form will mingle with the crowd of those who go about their business when the day is new. There wilt be a last time to speak a kind word instead of a cross one, to give a smile for a frown. There will be a laBt time to mingle in the city's busy stream of life, to mount your office stairs and Bit at your desk. There will be a last time to seize the chance of honesty and of UDrightness. There will be a last time to lunch, a laBt time to read the daily papers, a last time to watch the sun go down. There will be a last time to spend a happy evening at home, and bebtow your company, speech and manners upon the mem- bers of your own family circle. There will be a last time to say "good night," to turn out the light and woo the fickle goddess of slumber. There will be a last midnight, and a last new dawning of the day. Knowing all this to be true, bow shall we set about to keep the- vigil of what may be the last hour we have to spend? Take the children first. If an angel from heaven came suddenly down and whispered in your ear: 'The last day has come. You have but twelve more hours to live;" how, think you, would you set about to best improve that time? Woald you be solicitous about the practice hours, the dress, the personal appearance of the lit- tle ones yon were so Boon to leave? Would you stop to think of masters to teach them how to play, to dance, to paint or how to charm the shallow world with any gifts of alluring grace? Would you care whether their dreES was stylishly cut or made, or their garments freshly laundried and daintily trimmed? Would you give a second thought to any gift this world has in its power to bestow, whether of wealth, or beauty, or social honor? I think not. Facing that last time to be together, 1 think your mind would turn to Bweeter, purer things, and you would say something to this effect: "The time has come, my little ones, when I must leave you. Yon will be alone in the world to-morrow, so far as mother- love eoes, and I pray you heed my last words. Be pure in all things, despise evil companionship, and evil conversation, and evil books. Keep your heart like a spotless flower, however you keep your outward garb. Carry back your soul to God underh'led aB the June evening carries upon its bosom the morniDg's rose. Be true always. You may be poor and forced to win your bread, but keep your lips from speaking untruths and your heart from brooding deceit. Honest speech may not win you many friends, but suoh as it does win for you will be worth the keeping. Remember in friend- ship, as in precious stones, it is not the quantity but the quality which tells." ''Keep your heart kind. Be tender to everything that God lets live. The child that will needlessly torture a fly will make a cruel man or woman. You may not have gold to give, but God has given you a purBe to draw from, the alniB of which dispensed among the children of earth true sorrow into gladness and tears into smiles. Thoughtful words and deeds of helpfulness are better than dollars in our pockets to make the world run smooth." "Be loyal to principles, friends and God. The man who forgets a friend in time of need will make a no-aocount sort of angel, if ever he manages to get to heaven. He isn't worth his keep either here or yonder. And finally, little children" you may say, "remember and \>- t love hold its beau- tiful sway in your hearts and homes for ever. Never be a- shamed to manifest the demonstrations of love, for love is God, and where it dwells is the temble of God, whether it be rooted in by match or canopied with royal splendor. No home can be utterly unhappy where love is; no heart can go far aBtray by lovers' hands; no soul can periBh upborne by tbe wings of pure and steadfast love." 8o saying you would bid tbe wondering little oiub farewtll.and walk with covered face into the shadows of death's soft and dusky wing. Flaxtail. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — As my friend "H."in his article on Flaxtail 8132, ban made a mistake in orediting Sister V. to my stock and I want nothing for them but what is their due, I hasten to correct the error. On the other hand he has omitted from bis list Solitaire by Singleton, son of Ligbtfoot, with a record of 2:32 or 2:32$. And still an- other to the credit of the family is Wayland W., two-year-old record 2:349, and sold, as the Breeder informs me for $2,500. Respectfully, M. W. Hicks. VETERINARY. Conducted by Wm. F.

S, 1117 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco. P.K, I have a nice young colt that somehow or other got one of his ears split up the centre. It looks bad and I should like to know if it can be got to grow together. Please advise me what to do with it. Answer. — By cutting a thin piece of each side of the Bht and bringing it together by sutures, it will adhere. T. R. What is beBt to do for a curb? My horse has a large one on his off hind leg and it sometimes'lames him. Answer — Fire and bli iter him and give him two months' rest. A. K. Please tell me what is a good purgative for a horse. My horse is off his fe;d for the week, and tbe stable-man tells me that he wants a good physicing out aDd he will be all right. He says that Aloes is the beat thing to give him. Answer — Aloes is very commonly used as a cathartio, but I should advise you not to give him a strong purgative with out knowing what is wrong with him. If there is a quali- fied veterinary surgeon near you get his advice. If youi horse is suffering from pneumonia.you may kill him by giv- ing him a dose of Aloes. J. L. I was told by a friend some time ago that the best way to castrate colts was to cut the testicles clean off with a sharp knife. He said that he has done that several times, aud had only one death through it. Another friend of mine told me that he tried that plan on two colts last year, and each of them died. Now I have two colts to castrate, and what I want to know is, if this is a good way to castrate them, and if not, what is the best way to do it? Answer. — That is not a safe way to castrate colts. The method most commonly used now is by means of the icraaure. It is a simple and safe way to operate. CM. My horse is lame off and on for the last mouth, and I don't know where to locate the lameness. He starts off nearly all right, and gets lamer the farther he gobs. Sometimes he gets all right for a mile or so, and gets bad again; and again he is all right for a day or two, ana bad again for a ween. What do yon think is the matter with him? Answer. — You are not qaite definite enough in your des- cription of It. Please say what leg he is lame on, and give the age of the horse. Also say what kind of work he does, whether fast or slow, and we shall reply in onr nest issue. Subscriber. I have a valuable horse; when two years old it had very huge blind teeth and had grown fast to the bone; when taken out ihey had affected his eyes and seemed to have af- fected the ubo of his limbs somewhat. When the teeth were extracted with forceps the roots of both were broken or split off and a portion left in his mouth. Immediately after these teeth were extracted the horse improved rapidly, regained tbe use of himself, and his eyes got well apparently. This was a year ago. Since last ppring first one eye and then the other would get bine and about blind, recover, and then the other, and latterly the horse acts as though his loin was af- fected, not seeming to have good use of his hind legs, and in walkiDe has a reeling motion behind, BwiDging his hind feet and legs outward, and occasionally drawing them up io a manner resembling spring halt. I have been using stroDg liniment over his loins and it Beems to alleviate him some- what, and shall get a dentist to cot through the gums outside and take out the piece of root that was left of each tooth Now what I want to learn is, would the roots, being broken off and left in still afftct the eyes and also nervous system, spine, etc ? What iB best to be done in such a case? The horse is three years old, in good flesh, and wants to play whenever we has an opportunity. Answer.— Your horse has got Periodic Opthalmia. a di- sease of the eyes which is liable to occur every year. Wolf teeth appear to have some influence to producing this di- sease, though they don't oouie in contact with any of the nerves of the eye. I should recommend you to get the parts of the teeth which remain extracted. When. a horse has a bad attack of opthalmia, being almost blind, he is some times very nervous when made to move forward, and pokes his head out and lift his hind legs higher than usual, as thongh trying to stop himself. This may be all that is tbe matter with your horse. Try if he appears weak across the loins when you back him, or turn him round quickly. If so communicate with us again. Bids for Privileges.

Sacramento, September 11th, 1890- THE FJKST DAY. The State Fair has for years been the only meetiDg in the State which could and did draw an immense crowd of peo- ple from the outside regions, and this year proved no excep- tion to the general rule, for despite the fact that the cele- bratioo of the Native Sons in San Franoisco earlier in the week and the many other attraction? offered, a large crowd was in Sacramento early in the week and kept gradually in- creasing. For two or three days the grand exhibits in the pavilion of the products of the Golden State drew innumer- able spectators, all of them greatly interested in the magnifi- cent displays of fruits, machinery, vriues and other native products, while the Fair Grounds were daily crowded by in- terested spectators, farmers and tourists, who were aston- ished at the exceptionally high clasi of horses and cattle ex- hibited, several of the Eastern visitors saying without fear or favor that such a collection was rarely if ever seen in the East. Despite the fact that the Palo Alto Slock Farm, Undine Stable, Santa Anita, Pleasanton and Valenain Stock Farms, Rancbo Del Paso, Orrin A. Hickok and other prominent stables had most of their best horses in the East, a great collection of horseB were found on the track, prominent among them being the Rosenieade Stable fresh from the East with W. Gardner in charge, twostable^ from Palo Alto, the runners in the veteran Henry Walsh's care, while the trotters were ably supsrintended by Richard Havey, Percy William's stable of trotters and runners, Appleby's more than useful string of runners, L. D. Shippee's rnnners and : trotters, llatt Storn's surprise stable of thoroughbreds, B. C. Holly's ever dangerous stable of trotters and a host of minor lights in the racing and trotting contingent, not for- getting the irrepressible Dan Deonison and Cnarlie Boots with the Elmwood Stable of hard bottom runners. Tae energetic S3cretary, Edwin F. Smith, attended to hi3 ; many da ties in his well known able manner and in his usual I honghtful way did not forget the niembars of fhe fourth es- tate as so many secretaries do, for the space reserved for [ reporters only in the grand stind wa3 carefully arranged and I ticketed, all the representative papers of the coast having a I BpecUUy reserved space easy of access and free from the maddening crowd. The racing portion of the fair started on Thursday at 1:30 v. m., there being on the programme three I races, the Occident Stake, a substitute for the 2:22 trotting I purse and 2:30 pace. I The Classic Occident S'akes which is a trotting stake for I* three-year-olds to be entered asfoah had originally fatty-three |r nominations, but owing to several being sold, including the \ Sidney filly Fleet who had a two-year-old record of 2:24 and I the hundred and one other reasons only two made the final payment viz Palo Alto Stock Farm's b f Coral by Electioneer I —Columbine by A. YV. Richmond and Lot D. Slocum's b f l> Moss Rose by Anteeo— Luella by Nutwood. Coral is a full I, sister to the two great trotters Anteeo 2:16} and Antevolo 2:101, while Moss Rose is by Anteeo 2:16J out of Luella by : ' Nutwood 2:183- The stBter to Anteeo proved too good for it his daughter and won in easy style in straight heats and is (1 evidently no disgrace to her illustrious relatives for Bhe won ' the first heat in 2:39i, the second in 2:28 and the third in 2:25, a complete reversal of her form at Oakland a fortnight I ago when Lynetle beat her easily in straight heats, in 2:30, 2;34, 2:36. Distance was conrteoasly waived or Mo3s I Rose woald have been sent to the stable. The 2;22 trot was declared off and as a substitote a purse of $S00 was given for named horses three of which turned out viz., Palo Alto's . Ladywell who obtained a record of 2:26 at Napa and again won in handy style at Oakland, P. Johnson's Sargent and T. C. Snyder's b m Vidette driven by Goldsmith. Ladywell was made a red hot favorite and after losing the first heat to Sargent in 2:31|, was in easy style in 2:25, 2:29| and 2:31. The 2:30 pace was supposed to be a certainty for the crack three-year-old pacer Rupee by Guy Wilkes - Sable Hayward by PoscDra Hayward from Sable, the dam of Sable Wilkes and it proved to be correct for the three-year- old won in straight heats, in the exceptional time of 2:18i, 2:l9|and 2;20J. The judges were H. M. La Rue, C. Green and F. Cox. Timers, F. C. DeLong, H. J. Agnew and F. P. Lowell. At 1:30 sharp Mr. La Rue rang the bell to call the horses out for the first race, The Occident Stake, founded by Senator Stanford and named after his well known trotter Occident 2:165. Only two horses came out Palo Alto Stock Farm's bay filly Coral, Electioneer — Columbine and L. D. Slocum by Moss Rose, Anteeo — Luella. Only one pool was sold at $50 for Coral to $6 for Moss Rose. The bell was rung on the third attempt Coral going away very well while Moss Rose found the pace too hot and left her feet twice before she got round the turn. Coral went up the backstretch ten lengths in front and Moss Rose breaking at the three furlongs in- creased it to fifteen and went round the upper turn with the same advantage but slowing up down the homestretch won in almost a walk by seven lengths. Time, 2:39}. Mutuals paid $5.90 Second heat. — No pools were sold and after scoring up three times the bell was rung with Coral half a length behind but trotting very rapidly she went past Moss Rose at once and rounded the turn five lengths in the lead. Moss Rose broke on entering the back stretch and dropped back while Coral went light along and trotting squarely and rapidly passed the half in 1:13 J a hundred yards in front. Havey, evidently out for a record, kept the filly going and finished the mile without a skip or break in 2:2S with Mobb Rose one hundred and fifty yards back. Time 2:28. Third heat. — The word was given the second time up and again Moss Rose found the pace too hot and broke up before the turn while Havey sent the bay sister to Anteeo right along and moving in an exceptionally taking way, she never skipped or wavered passing the half in 1:12 and slackening up a little on the turn came down the stretch very strong with Havey doing his best and finished two hundred yards in front of Moss Rose. Time 2:25. ning the heat by a length and a half, "Vidette a bad third half a distance back. Time, 2:31$. Mutuals paid $S.95. Second heat — Despite the moderate showing made in the last heat, baokers were not to be denied, and Ladywell brought $60 to $16 for the other two as a field. After coming up three times the word was given with all three going well. Lady^vell left her feet before the turn and Sargent led two lengths into the backstretch, with Vidette last three lengths further back. Ladywell trotted faBt and got to Sargent's wheel at the quarter, and was head and head with him at the three -eighths, when she again broke and Sar- gent passed the half three lengths in front, with Vidette sev- en lengths in the rear. Ladywell decreased the lead round the upper turn, and gaining all the way down the stretch, took the lead at the drawgate and won handily by two lengths, Sargent second, and Vidette who barely saved dis- tance third. Time, 2:25. Mutuals paid $6 10. Third heat — There was now no betting and the word was given the sixth time up. Ladywell at onoe took the lead and trotting very steadily lead Sargeant two lengths round the turn with Vidette, who broke handily, two lengths back. The order was unchanged all the way, Ladywell winning without a skip or break by three lengths, Sargent Becond and Vidette a moderate third. Time 2:29f. Mutuals paid $5.20. Fourth heat — Very little interest was taken in the heat and neither pools or mutuals were sold. When the word was given Ladywell trotted away from Sargent, going round the turn four lengths in front and retained her advantage until a furlong from home, when Havey let up on her and wou by a length from Sargent, with Vidette a bad third Time, 2:31.

Second Race— The substitute fcr the 2;22 class bad orig- inally rive entries, but owing to some misunderstanding only three came out, viz , Palo Alto Stock Farm's b m Ladywell P. Johnson's g g Sargent, and T. C. Snyder's Vidette. Back era now being anxious to invest, rushed in, and pools sold n t a lively rate, Ladywell bringing $30 to Sargent $8 and Vi- dette $S. The word was given the third time up with all three moving well. Ladywell set the pace, going round the turn two lengths in front of Sargent, with Vidette who broke before leaving the stretch, three lengths back. Sargent went right after the leader up the backstretch, and pasBed her be. fore the half, and going on bad three lengths advantage on the upper turn, when be broke, and Ladywell weDt past, leading him three lengths at the head of the homestretch. Sargent trotted sqoarely and fast down the stretch, and with Havey not urging the mare, pase-ed him at the drawgate win- First heat, 2:20 pacing — Sis horses faced the music, viz., San Mateo's Rupee, J. Patterson's Princess Alice, H. Wilke's Our Dick, John Garrity's Hummer, S. C. Tryon's CoBtiilo and C. W. Godar'a C. W. G. With theexception ofOurDick C. W. G. and Cortilh, Rupee had readily beaten the 6eld at Napa, Petalama and O^klaud, consequently he was made a big favorite at $50 to $15 for Our Dick and $10 for the field. After coming up twice Hummer and Prince Alice collided, but luckily do damage was done, and a start was effected the fourth time up, Alice going away at a great rate. Princess as usual at once made a bid for the lead, while C. \V. G. pulled behind. Princess had half a length the best of Hum. mer, who, however, caught her at the quarter whioh they passed four lengths in front of Rupee, two in front of Our Dick,seven lengths in front of C. W. G. with Costello last. Hummer and Alice both broke up the back stretch, but catching handily passed the half head and head three lengths who was in front of Rupee, the same distance ahead of Our Dick. Hummer drew away from Princess Alice in the turn, the order at the head of the stretch beiDg Hummer, Princess Alice and Rupee a ler gth apart. Our Dick three lengths back and the other pair out of it. Hummer broke badly in the stretch and Our Dick on the inside, Rupee next and Princess on the outside stayed together to the drawgate, when Rupee sharpened up, and drawing away, won by three lengths, Princess Alice second four lengths in front of Our Dick two lengths in front of Hummer. C. "W. G. and CoBtiilo dis- tanced, the latter having one trace loose, which broke him all to pieces. Time, 2:18$. Mutuals paid $15.15. Second heat — No pools could be sold, so the mutuals were the only thing to be used . After coming up twice the wor ' was given.

Sept. 20 Fnmmer, -who broke before the turn, fonr lengths in the rear. Eupee slowly but sorely drew away, passing the half a good length in trout of Princess Alice, two leDglhs ahead of Hum- mer, with Dick running at his wheel. Rupee increased his lead round the trim, swinging into the stretch three lengths in front of Alice, with Hummer at her wheel; the latter went right up to Alice a furlong from home, bat broke at the dis- tance and fell back, while Kupee won cleverly by three lengths, Prinoess Alice the same distance aires'! of Hummer, ten lengths in front of Diok. Time, 2:19. Mntuals paid §6.70. Third heat— No pools, no mntuals. After scoring up half a dozen times, the word was given. Rupee and Alice again went out together round the torn, passing the quarter half a length apart, with Dick two lengths back, and two in front of Hummer. Onr Dick made his effort up the backstretcb, and passed PrincesB— who was stopping— belore reaching the half, which Rapee passed two lengths in front. Round the turn Rnpee drew further away, turning into the homestretch three lengths in front of Dick, half a length in front of Alice, with Hummer at her wheel. Half way down the stretch Rupee broke and swerved to the inside, and when Goldsmith had him Bquared out again, Diok was a length in front, but Ra- pee would not be denied, and finishing very gamely, he won the heat bv a big length, Our Dick second, five lengths in front of Hummer, who was two lengths in advance of Alice.

The second day of the fair was much better patronized than the first. In the morning the ladies riding tonrnament drew a large crowd to the Park to see the various exercises tiliiDg at the ring, hurdle jnmpiDg, etc., indulged in by the thirteen accomplished equestrieoes while the afternoon was devoted to the thoroughbred brigade. Four races were on the programme, the first a six furlong scramble for two year olds had nineteen entries but only two came to the post, Palo Altos bay colt Nero who won two races at Oakland and L. J. RoBe's Palo Alto bred Fairy, who had the worst of the weights carrying 118 lbs. to Nero 118. The filly, however, simply played with Nero to the bead of the stretch when she came away winning as she pleased. The second race, the Califor- nia Breeders Stake one mile and a quarter had only two ■barters L. TJ. Sbippee's bay filly Mabel F and O. Boots bay filly Initiation. The former alter running five or six lengths behind for the first mile closed up and won cleverly. The third race (The Rosemeade Handicap) one mile and n fur- long proved a very heavy betting rac?, six well known hor- ses facing the starter Peel carrying top weight 122, Tycoon 120, Carmen 117, Lurline 115, Alfarata 112 and Picnic 107. Peel was made a big favorite in the overnight pools but on the track Appleby's Stable (Carmen and Alfarata) were in- stalled first choice and then the field (Tycoon, Picnic and Lurline) Bold choice, while when the horses were at the pofj all three sold about even up. Appleby sent Alfarata out to make the paoa and right wed did she do it, b it Tycoon ridden from Btart to finish hung on to her for three quarters of a mile, and then took the lead and in exactly the same way as at Oakland won the race by sheer gamaness. Carmen who laid a little too far back came with a rush in the stretch just too late to get the place, while Peel who gat a little the worst of the start was never prominent. The last was really a gift for Applause who won in straight heats iu the easiest possi- ble way. Of course no one attempted to buy the winner. First race. — The opening scramble had only two starters L. J. Rose's Fairy, and Palo Alto Stables Nero. Pools sold very slowly at $25 Fairy, to $16 for Nero. The nig fell on the first attempt with both well under way. They ran together for a hundred yards when Fairy began to draw away and Blowly but surely opened out a gap of two lengths on the up- per turn and despite a vigorous effort by Harris on Nero the filly won cleverly by a lerjgth and a half.

THIRD DAY, SATURDAY, SEPT. 13TH. The day opened out very well, the stock parade in the morning and tbe trotting in the afternoon, attracting larpe crowds. The stock parade— the best held during the fair — was acknowledged by every one to be one of the grandest aights ever seen in a show ring, thoroughbreds, trotters and horses of every description being represented by worthy specimens of their breed. The procession started at 10,30 with Marshal C. J. Cox in the lead, followed by Col. Jas. McNasser's pair of oheetnut road horses, and then standard trotters, road horseB and other light horses of all descriptions in harness, while immediately after them came the thorough- bred brigade, led by Dr. W. G. Ross' imported bay Btallion Cheviot by Tradocer, from Idalia by CambnBcan, and there- fore an own brother to Rancho Del Paso's celebrated Sir Modrpd. Immediately after him came W. B. Todhunter's bay stallion Prince of Norfolk by Norfolk, from Marion, and consequently own brother to the Emperor, Duke.El Rio Rey, Rey Del Rey. Senator Stanford's well known three-year- old Flambeau followed in the rear and was carefully pointed out totbe eager spectators asone of the might-have-beens had his leg etood the preparation. After the thoroughbred marea and foalB and all agea had filed past, standard trotters came past in grand style, stretching out nearly a quarter of a mile, ' and then came the Cleveland Bays, Clydes, Peroherona, Nor- I mans and horses of all work, with several useful looking jacks, jennies and mules at the end of the procession. The cattle parade was led by C. Younger & Sons twenty-eight head of grand looking Shorthorns, followed by P. S. ChileB with seven, P. H. Murphy's thirteen head, P. Peterson show- ing twenty head, Heilbron Bros, twenty five head of Short- horns from Fresno, R. McEnespy of Chico followed with seven good-looking Devons. Dr. G. M. Dixon's Argonaut herd ol fourteen Polled Angus, and Aberdeen cattle werA nest in line, followed by J. E, Camp with thirteen of the same breed, W. Gibson of Woodland was next at line with nine heavy looking Galloways, and then came F. H. Burke's grand herd of Holstein Freisians, followed by the Hall Stock Farm, MaryBville, with twenty head of the same breed, and the Bon. nie Brae Co., Hollister, with seven head, and G. B. Polhe- runs' magnificent herd of sixteen black and whites. Geo Bement of Oakland fell into line with twelve representative Ayrshires; A. Heilbron had twenty good representatives of th« white faces (Herefords) T. T. Ward of Oakland, nine jerseys, W. C, Smith of Florin eight of the same pretty looking cattle and P. Stauton seven dainty looking jerseys, and L, F. Eaton five of the same breed. The cattle, all round, were said by all old-timers to excel! all previous parades held in Sacramento. In the afternoon Messrs. H. M. LaRne, John Boggs and Christopher Green officiated as judges, while F. C. DeLong, H. J. Agnew and F. P. Lowell occupied the timer's stand. Three races were on the programme. The first, a two-year-old trotting stake, had fourteen nominations, but only three paid up entriea, and one of these, the Palo Alto entry, failed to come to the post. The race was a gift for Yida Wilkes, who obtained i record of 2:28 at Petaluma, and after going easy the first heat in 2:42i, Goldsmith sent the good looking daughter of Gaj Wilkes and Vixen a merry clip, and distanced Mr. Harris filly in 2:31$. The second race, which took the place of the Pacific 8tal. lion Stake, which failed to fill, had four entries, Percy Wil Hams' Beaury Mo, driven by Goldsmith, wbb made a hoi favorite over Pink, Wanda and Mary Lou. Beaury Mc won the first heat cleverly iu 2:19$, but breaking on the turn in the second heat, laid up the heat, which Wanda took in 2:22 Beaury then wound it up in good style. The 2:30 class, which had thirteen entries, of which fom came to the post, viz , Frank M., who went suoh a great raw at Chico, Silas Skinner, tbe Napa and Oakland victor, Bal kan and Lee. Frank M. was made a big favorite, but loal the first two heats to Skinner, being beaten a head each time in 2:20 and 2:19; Frank then took the third heat a head it front of Skinner in 2:21, BalkaD, showing up well, was separ ately timed in 2:22. The fourth heat was trotted in semi darkness, Skinner winning in the last stiide by a head, but was set back to third, and the raoe postponed. First race — The two-year-old stake had three paid uf entrieB: San M-iteo Stock Farm's Vida Wilkes, Palo Alk Stock Farm's Elleneer and B. C. Harris' Starlight. The Pak Alto entry was drawn over-night, and as Vida Wilkes had beaten Starlight with ridiculouseaseatPetaluma.no poole could be sold. In the first heat Goldsmith jogged his fillj round four lengths in front of Starlight, and quickening up the last hundred vards, won by seven lengths. Time, 2:42$. Second heat — Goldsmith went away directly the word wae given, and had fifteen lengths lead on entering the baok- stretoh, but lost six of it when the filly broke at the quarter she went away again rapidly, and was more than a distance ahead at the three-quarters, when she again broke, but set- tling down, Goldsmith drove her home in 2:31$, Starlight seven lengths, having run from half way round the turn, and consequently distanced.

A much better orowd turned out in the morning and in the afternoon one nf the old time Sacramento gatherings was to be found on the track. The morning programme included a grand exhibition by expert vaqueros who rode bucking horses and showed exceptional artistio work with the riata. The afternoon programme had four running races and the unfinished trot. The first race was the Daisy D. Stakes for all ages, six furlongs. Carmen was made a big favorite with Daisy D. choice and the rest as a field. Unfortunately Carmen, Peregrine and Picnic ran the full course in a false start and had to return to the post at once and the flag being soon dropped there was only one in it. After the first two hundred yards as the two-year-old daughter of Three Cheers and Rosette— a Bister to Daisy D. simply galloped away from them. No one was too blame for the first start but the boys for the advance flag was never dropped and was in plain view; probably the riders will learn a good lesson from the result and not watch one another in future. The seoond race was supposed to be a good thing for Marigold but Bhe only just got home from Rico and Take Notioe, a good look- ing son of Prince of Charlie. The two-year-old race was a gift for Fairy but the start was very bad and probably lost Mystery the place. The fourth race was a good thin? for Applause who won all the way and had Father William Daly been here the owners would have had to buy him in but selling races are only selling in name in California and might almost be as well called Owners Handicaps. The unfinished trot only required one heat to finish it, although when Frank M. broke at the head of the stretch Skinner had a good thing had McGraw kept him down. Judges— H. M. La Rue, C. Green and J. Boggs.- Starter— Jas. Sheldon. First race— The Daisy D. stakes, six furlongs, had origi- nally 20 entries, but five turned out: Peregrine, 122 Daisy D., Picnic and Carmen 119, and Acclaim 93. Pooh sold with Carmen and DaiBy D. ont of the field, the three tickets selling evenly $30 each for some time, but weight of money gradually brought Carmen to the front, and the last few pools sold at Carmen $40, Daisy D. $22 and the field $18. After one breakaway Carmen, Daisy D. and Picnic ran the full course, imagining it was a start, while Peregrine followed seven lengths behind. The leading trio were slowed up a hundred yards from the stand, being then about level. They were at once sent back to the starting post, and a few pools were sold at Carmen $50, the field $21 and Daisy $9. After one breakaway the flag was dropped, with Peregrine and Picnic a length behind. Daisy D. showed three-qnartera of a length in front of Carmen and Acolaim, but the two-year- old rushed to the front, leading a length past the half, with Carmen three lengths in front of Daisy, two in advance of Picnio, just clear of Peregrine. Ronnd the turn Acclaim inoreaBed her lead, and turned into the stretch seven lengths in front of Carmen, three lengths ahead of Daisy D., with Peregrine close np and Picnic between. Acclaim galloped further away down the stretch, and simply romped home exactly sixty yards in front of Carmen: three lengths back came Peregrine, ridden out with Daisy D. seven lengths further back, and Picnio beaten off. Time, 1:161. Mntuals paid $15.90 on the field for place; Aoolaim $11.95 and Car- men $7.60.

After selling for some time, betting settled down with Marigold $50, Rico $23, Captain Al $10 and the field $17. The flag was dropped to a beautiful start the second time up Marigold and Raindrop rushed to the front, passing the stand two lengths in front of Rico, and take Notice a length in front of Captain Al. Raindrop set the pace ronnd the turn going np the back stretch two lengths in front of Mari- gold with Captain Al and Rico a length back and Take No- tice at their heels, half way down the back stretoh Marigold went np to Raindrop's neck and passed her before the turn with Captain Al close up and Rico three lengths back and Take Notice two lengths in the rear.

A large crowd turned out in the morning to witness the foot racing, and as it only wound up a few moments before racing began, one of tbe best attendances of the meeting criticised the running raceB in the afternoon. The first race, for twa-year-olds, was an easy thing for Fairy, despite her penalty. The second race, a mile and a quarter, handicap, proved a very unfortunate race, as after being at the post over an bour, the starter dropped his flag, but the assistant starter, for some reason, failed to drop bis flag, and most of the horses pulled up, but urged on by the Bhouta of the crowd, Peel, Picnio and Lurline ran the race out, Peel winning cleverly Picnio second. The starter was called into the stand, and stated that not only did he drop his flag, but be also Bhoute "Go!" yet in spite of this pointed evidence, the judg< declared it no race, and ordered it to be run o9 after the li race instead of sending them back to the post as they shoul have done if they considered it not a start. The starter in: mediately resigned, and Henry Walsh lodged a protest at t] same time, refusing to run the race over again, but was afti wards prevailed on to run Peel, who won cleverly at the si ond attempt. The unfortunate affair spoilt the day's spoi and though the judgeB did a good thing in deolaring all be off, after half an hour's deliberation, it looked to most raoii men as though they were not quite as well np in racing lo: as they might be, and as one of the best-known Califorai race-goers said: "What could one expect with trotting mi tor judges?" The third race was a pretty race all through, but thong Conrad only won by a head, I fancy he could have made it little more. The fourth race was a grand race. Jackson was in froi all the way, and had he finished at all gamely, would hail won easily, but as it was, Take Notice, who began bad!; finished very strong, making a dead heat of it, though thought he came just half a head too late. The last race bad Odette a hot favorite, and the sister I Mikado and naif-sister to Tycoon, won easily in the go< time of 1:42. First race — The California Annual Stake had four starter; and despite her penalties, Fairy was made a red hot favori at $100 to $28 for Lodowic and $10 for the other two asj field. After one breakaway the flag was dropped to a fa start, Lodowic having a little the worst of it. Cheerful sb ont like a sprinter, leading two lengths at the lead of a ha dred yards, bat Fairy closed up when she got into her stridj and passed the half a neck in front of Cheerful, with Aid three lengths back, tbe same distance in front of Lodowi Fairy went right away from her field on the turn, and Lodj wic pasBed Altus; while Fairy, turning into the stretch s lengths in the lead and fairly romped home by three lengtl Lodowic, hard ridden, passed Cheerful a furlong from hoc and finished second ten lengths in front of Cheerful, tt lengths ahead of Altus, all out.

Applause running a ft long three times in false starls, while Peel broke away most every time, and fretted a good deal while Tycoon act like a steady old trojan, and Lurline was as excitable young school girl, then for quarter of an hour Lurline not start and Applause stayed with her. Then all dismoonl while ApplauBe had a plate fixed, and after being at tbe an hour and a half, the starter dropped his flag, but his sistant did not drop the advance flag. Peel, Picnio and line ran to the drawgate and were shouted to go on. Pi and Picnic ran round the turn a length apart with Lu: seven lengths back, and the order was unchanged all way, Peel winning by five lengths, Pionio second, Lurli third and Carmen fourth. The judges declared it no and moved it to be run off after the last race. The atari Mr. Sheldon, stated that he dropped his flag, and that it a start and resigned. C. S. Crittenden took the flag a started for the rest of the day. When the race was called up it was six o'clock, but betting wbb heavy as usi the jndges haviog declared all previous bets off. Tyco1 Bold readily at $200 to $130 for Peel and $100 for the ti. After a short delay the flag was dropped with Picnic behi and Pell sent right along, led past the stand with Tyi and Lurline a length behind, two lengths in front of Can and Applause. Lurline went to the front round tbe t> and Applause took second place up on the baok stretch, p> sing the half three lengths behind Lurline and just cleai Peel.

Blanketing Horses. The Blanketing of horses, like everything else, requires to be done with discretion, in order to derive full benefit from it. From our observation and way of thinking many errors are committed even in this simple matter, hence a few re- marks upon it are not ont of place, as in a week or two from now horse-covering will again be called into requisition. There is a wonderful attractiveness about a nice, clean, sleek coat on a horse. It is only second to flesh in filling the eye, and increasing the admiration of inexpert observers. It must further be confessed that few good judges of horses are not altogether uninfluenced by its alluring effects in forming an estimate of all that goes to make up value in horse flesh. Judicious blanketing haB a great influence in improv- ing a horse's coat. Exhibitors of horses at our fall shows experience a great deal of trouble in getting their animals' coats in the condition they would like. There is no time during the warm period of the year in which it is so difficult to make a horse's coat look well as in the autumn' No matter how much trouble is taken it is impossible to make the coats of some horses look well dur- ing a portion of Soptember. Horses shed all their coats in the spring, but in the autumn only a partial moult takes place. The hairs that are to fall ont lose their gloss as they become loosened in the hair bulb;, and are practically dead. This process of shedding prodnces an irritable condition of the skin, which causes it to be more or less scaly and scurvy and tends to prevent it from lying. The natural oily secre- tion is impaired at this time, and consequently the glossiness of the coat is impaired. A good deal can be done, however, in the way ot overcoming the results of this natural process. Perhaps the most important factor in the management is blanketing. Towards the end of August, or beginning of September, many of the nights are very cool, wbile the tem- peiature during the different periods of the twenty-four hours causes marked changes iu the circulation of the skin, which leads to irritability and dryness. In order to over- come the ill effects of the varying temperature, a sufficiently warm blanket should be used during the night, to keep the sfcin comfortably warm and the circulation active. This will tend to hasten the process of moulting, and keep soft and glossy those hairs that are not going to be shed. A thin, light, cotton sheet, used during the day to keep off flies, lessens the irritation of the skin. Horses that are being es- pecially prepared for show are the better for getting their exercise in tne morning or evening, or better still, if time is available, both morning and evening. Our experience is, that at this season rubbing can be overdone. Generally speaking, it is a good pUn to rub a horse dry with cloths, on coming in from his work, as it stimulates the skin, makes it sleek, and improves the tone of the system generally. Bnt in September the Bkin is very susceptible to irritation, and if rubbed very muoh, particularly when it is damp, it is apt to cause harshness rather than benefit it. In September, and even during August, if a horse comes in wet, we usually pur- sue the plan of allowing him to dry, before cleaning him. Just here we would draw attention to the mistake usually made of using the curry comb loo freely and of using sharp teethed ones. The teeth should be blunt, and the comb handled gently, and only used enough to separate matted hairs. Lazy grooms are particularly fond of using dandruff brushes, and neglect sufficiently strapping with the ordinary body brush. Dandruff brushes are very harsh and irritating to the skin, and their use should be limited. In our use of blankets in the early autumn, we should be guided by the temperature; not only should they be used at nights, but on cool days their use should not be neglected. Care, however, has to be taken to avoid ever keeping the animal so warm as to sweat. Sweating under the blanket not only makes the horse uncomfortable but it destroys the condition of the coat. The oautioos use of blankets in the early autumn, and of course continued, has considerable ef- fect in cheeking the undue heaviness of the coat, and that tendency to profuse sweating so noticeable in October, and in fact for the remainder of the winter if the precaution of blanketing is not taken early in the season. Some horses that are inclined to have very heavy coats will not have the growth of the coat sufficiently checked even by careful blank- eting, and such animals if they have to perform much fast work are greatly benefited by clipping about the first of November, or later if convenient. Unfortunately many peo- ple do not allow their horses to derive the full benefit of clipping, on account of not using a sufficiently liberal amount of covering; a clipped horse should have at least two warm blankets on him, and more are sometimes of benefit, par- ticularly during cold spells. A great mistake is frequently made in applying a horse's covering while he is wet with sweat or from any other cause. The best plan to persue is to dry the animal with cloths, taking care to avoid cold draughts. If it is convenient to so rub him, a blanket may be applied to prevent chilling while the evaporation from the skin ib taking place, but this should be removed as soon as it is thoroughly dappened with steam, and another dry one put on. Before putting on the first blanket the skin should be robbed dry, if possible. A great improvement ha-* been made of Ia'.« years in having blankets cut to fit properly. There is still room for another improvement, in order to have them tit more olosely to the body and prevent them from becoming displaced, hanging off the quarters and getting torn. Oarexperience is that a couple of flank straps, buckled underneath the belly, is a great assistance to tb - surcingle in keeping the blanket in its place, and is an effec nal prevention of tearing from the blankets getting under the hind feet. Horses that stand in the stable a great deal are apt to get sore on the back, from the constant pressure of a tightly buckled surcingle. This can be satisfactorily and effeotually prevented, by using straps under the chest buckled in the same way as the flank straps. In fact we think that surcingles oan be entirely dis- pensed with, if this much cheaper and equally satisfactory substitute be used. Care should always be exeroiaed in having blankets thor- oughly dry, as a damp one is worse than useless* and they should be brushed, shaken, and beaten occasionally in order to keep them clean. The object of sufficiently clothing a horse is not only to improve his coat, bnt there is in addition a wonderful sav- ing of food, vigor, condition, and animal heat. The chief loss of the heat of the body is from radiation from its sur- face. This waste can be lessened and controlled very largely by judicious blanketing. The unreasonable excuse for scanty blanketing is often made, that if a horse is well clothed in the stable he shivers on first coming into the cold air, but this U only momentary, for as aoon as he begins to move, and the circulation is aroused, no chillness is felt.— Dr. Grenside in Canadian Live Stock and Farm Journal. Developed and Non-Developed Sires. Iconoclast says: The question as to the relative producing power of developed and non developed sires seems to be reduced to one of definition. It will be conceded, I think, by those who prefer the non-development theory that it Is wise to teach a horse to trot that is intended to be nsed as a sire of trotters. The process of education which a horse then undergoes tends to increase and keep alive the trotting instinct; and it is almost unquestionably true that if this instinct is permitted to lie dormant for a number of genera- tions it will eventually die out, just as any faculty or organ becomes "rudimentary" by continuous disuse. Many in- stances illustrating this principle are cited by naturalists. We see it every day in our domestic birds. The wild turkey, the wild goose.and the wild duck will almost lose their power of flight in two or three generations of domestication, and some birds inhabiting islands where they are undisturbed have entirely lost that power. Precisely how many genera- tions it would take for a well bred trotting horse to loose his inclination to trot no one knows, becanse the experiment has never been tried. It is probable, however, as the fast trotting gait is comparatively a recent acquisition, it would not take long. The number of horses that prefer the trot to the run when turned out in the pasture, is comparatively small. With the growth of &ood trotting breeding, it is. however, rapidly on the increase, and insiances are now not very un common where colts that have never been bridled can trot faster than they can run, and prefer that gait to the run when they are started up and urged to go fast. Instincts and habits which are the result of cultivation are more easily lost than those that are natural to the breed, and the ability to trot fast, which is almost purely the result of education, would soon disappear unless kept up by the means by which it has been developed. It is therefore wise to adopt proper means to prevent the decadence of this faculty, and that can only be done by training to some extent at least the animals through which it is intended to perpetuate trotting action and trotting proclivity. The strongest advocates of the non-development theory would hardly dispute these propositions. But it is said that some horses that have achieved great distinction on the track have thus far failed in the stud. This is true not only of horses that have made fast records, but of well bred horses that have never been developed, as well; for it is not every well bred horse that makes a great sire. On the other hand, there is a possibility that a horse may by long periods of hard training and excessive campaigning have his vitality so impared that he will be incapable of imparting to his pro- geny the vigor and nerve force necessary to make them great performers on the track. I say there is a possibility of this. I do not say that it is extremely probable; for it may well be trne that even in such cases a rest of a year or two will be sufficient to restore the horse to a condition of sufficient vigor to enable him to make a successful sire. .Whether this be the case or not can hardly be determined as yet from the records. Three or four, or half a dozen cases does not prove a great deal. The case of George Wilkes may bean excep tional one. He was severely campaigned for a number of years, and yet all the world knows that he was a very suc- cessful sire. Nutwood was trained sufficiently to get a record of 2:lSi and trotted thirty-six heats in 2:30 or better, and he also is proving a very great producer. Director. 2:17, and Piedmont, 2:17^, were great campaigners, and are proving very successful sires. Several instances can be cited of horses that have been very brilliant turf performers and have since had good opportunities in the stud, and have as yet failed to produce trotters. But, on the other hand, there have been well bred horses that have never been extensively trained or campaigned, that have been for a long time con- sidered failures in the stud, and yet have eventually proved very prolific sires of speed. I believe it to be true that no mare that has been very dis* tingnished as a campaigner has yet produced a great cam- paigner. But it has sometimes happened that the produce of such mares in the second or later generation have been very successful on the track. Pocahontas, the old pacing mare, that was the first to take a record of 2:17i, had no son or daughter that made a great performer, but" her blood is now producing in such horses as Nelson 2:14$, Gem (p) 2.14f, Sleepy Tom (p) 2;12+, and Young Rolfe 2:21$. Princess, who was one of the greatest campaigners of her day, has no immediate offspring in the 2:30 list, but through her son Happy iledium she has produced such horses as Haxie Cobb 2:13}, Nancy Hanks 2:14*, and through her grandson Pilot Medium such performers as Jack 2:12£, and Lady Bul- lion 2:1S£. The blood of Lady Thorne 2:1S£, and Goldsmith Maid 2:14, is beginning to be heard from, and there is no doubt that it will yet be productive of great results. These mareB were all severely campaigned. While it is yet too soon to determine whether or not hard campaigning will, as a rule, impair the vitality of a trotting stallion to such an extent as to render him inefficient as a sire, it is, I think, certain that trotting stallions should at least be well educated in the gait which they are intended to perpetuate. This can easily be done without the excessive work that is necessary for a great campaigner, and without any ' vitality sapping" process. No mark can be arbitrarily fixed as the point beyond which a trotting sire should not bt permitted to go, as some horses will make a record of 2:15 with less training and less effort than will be necessary to give others a record of 2:25. Whether campaigned or not, a horse designed for the stud should be trained. On the same principle I believe that trotting dams should be educa- ted to trot. This moy be done on the road or on the track. Many dams of great trotters have received their education on the road. Bat whether on one or the other, tbey will doubt- less be all the better dams for moderate work at the trotting gait. In this respect small breeders have an advantage over those that keep a great number of mares — they are able to give them plenty of road work, while on the larger farms it frequently happens that many of the mares are unbroken. Whatever may be said of hard campaigning (and there is something to be said on both sides of this question). I have no doubt that moderate work will be a benefit to both sire and dam.

It was not more than 100 yards before Bob Wade emerged from the bunch and Bhowed the way to the wire. White Cloud and Jim Miller got out of the bunch at the quarter and chal- lenged Bob Wade. By this time Garrison had lifted Cyclone into the leader's company, and when Wade got out a few feet from the rail, whipped him down the Btretch at the pole.

Olympia was on his good behavior yesterday. That is, he did not throw his rider half a dozen times as he often does, but contented himself with vaulting all over the track.

In the stretch E^ley came upon Sinfax, but either Olympia had set too fast a pace for him or he had waited too long, for though the noble grandson of Idlewild made a gallant race, he was only second by a head.

Clara Z would probably have finished second if she had not broken badly on the home stretch.

Second heat — Aaotion pools, Bailey $70, field $15. Mu- tuals paid $7.25. Smith was at his best yesterday in his peonliar art of scor- ing well up. and he got the beet of the start again in this heat and drove Hannibal in the lead clear to the three-quarter, where he was again overhauled by Bailey. He couldn't ev- en get a place, tor the fast California mare came down at a swift pace, close pressed by Kinney, Hannibal broke and was out of it. Lady Spokane behaved very badly oo the first turn and lost several lengths, which she was never able to make up. The finish was very exciting and was greeted with deaf- ening cheers, Clara Z forcing Bailey to do Borne very clever work, and all three placed horses coming down at a fast pace without a bauble. Third heat.— Auction pools; Bailey $50, field $10; mu- tuals paid $7 90. Lady Spokane went all to pieces again, and was not in the race. Clara Z had it all her own way, with Kinney second and Hannibal third, until the middle of the back stretch, when Bailey left Hanuibal and Kinney behind him, and crowded on to Clara Z. There waa a long struggle between them until the last turn, when Bailey came into the stretch ahead. It was a close finish again, Bailey coming under the wire host by half a length, Clara Z seoond, in the fastest heat of the race. SECOND DAY.

Bailey broke at the turn and gave Oaknut the pole; then he trailed him a length and a half behind until at the five- eighths Sawyer overhauled the California stnd, and forced him to break. Lady Mac was entirely too slow for her com- pany, and waB out of sight. The two leaders emerged into the stretch neok and neck.

Mollie Cooper drew the pole, Rosie C second, St. James third, Mink fourth. Mollie's breaking delayed the Bcore, and they were finally sent off all together, except Rosie C who had nearly a leugth the worst of it. Rosie went off her feet immediately and slipped back to fourth place until the quarter, where Mink and St. James broke badly, letting her in second. But by this time Mollie Cooper had taken the pole and was inoreasing her lead, so that by tbe fiveeighths mark Bhe had left Rosie C three lengths behind, St. Jamea third and Mink fourth by about the same distance between them. At the three quarters Mink began to move up; he left St. James behind, then showed Rosie his heels, and then at a marvelous pace put his nose at Davis' wheel. Here he stuck, and down the stretch both came together, Mollie set* ting to the wire only a neck ahead of Mink, St. James third, Rosie a bad fourth. Seoond heat— Auction pools: Mink $40, Mollie Cooper $10, field $15. Mutuals paid $33 25. St. James, Smith up, had the best of the start, but it did not avail him for Mollie kept the pole at the turn, Mink a good second. At the quarter Mink and Rosie came up gamely and all were nearly neck and neok. Very shortly Mollie and Mink left Rosie at their hind wheel, St. James three lengths behind. Then Mink began to show the way and seemed to think he had the race. To everybody's surprise, however, the little mare kept him company until the turn at the head of the home Btretch, when she foroed him to break. Davis meant to be in it, and when Mink came up on him down the stretoh, he plied his whip hard and fast on Mollie's back; and well he might; for Mink was coming down at a twenty-two rlip and was orawling up inch by inch at every step. The little mare responded nobly. Without a bauble she finished first by half a length. Rosie O. came in last considerably distressed, her boot flappiDg against her lfga.

Mink was in the lead, but Rosie C. overhauled hit and was neck and neck behind them at the quarter. It vit not long before Mink increased his lead to three lengths Si James four lengths behind Rosie, Mollie way behind. Attl hnlf, however, Mollie began to come op.

SAX FRANCISCO vs. OAKLAND. TutSDAr, Sept. 9th, 1S90, at Sax Feancisco. The Friscos put up an elegant game in the field and hit juBt hard enough to place a man across the plate in each the first, second, fourth, sixth and eighth inniDgs. It looked as though the Friscos would celebrate Admission Day in the same manner as they did Labor Day by Bhntting out the Colonels, but a rather poor throw of Ebrights to Veach in the eighth inning allowed the runDer, McDonald to go to third, and he scored the only run of their side on Carsey's sacrifice. The pitching of Lookabaugh and Carsey may be said to have been splendid, the hits by both sides being few as were the bases gained on balls. A magnificent catch of a terrific high liner by Veach and a wonderful one hand stop and throw by McDonald brought forth well deserved enthu- siasm. The long hitting of Levy and Ebright, Lohman and Dooley's stick work and the playing of Ebright, Everett, Can tillion, McDonald and Dooley were Bpecial features.

Thursday, Sept, 11th, 1890, at San Fbancisco. The Stocktons outbatted and ontfielded the Friscoe in this game, bunching their hits well off Lookabangh, while errors by Shea and Levy also contributed to the home team's de- feat. It was a fine batting gBme right through, the Friscos hitting Perrott almost as heavily as the Gas City boys did Lookabangh. but with the exception of the seventh inning, their bite were very badly scattered and consequently availed little. Perrott secured a home run in the fourth, though HaDley should have blocked the ball and prevented more than two bases being secured on the hit. The infield of the Stocktons played as pretty a game as has ever been seen here this season, Wilson, Armstrong and Fudger mak- ing many phenomenal stops, while SelDa played a very effi- cient first bag. Ebright, Hanley and Everett were the only players in the Frisco team who plaved their game. Ebright's hitting was sharp, heavy and timely, and he easily carried off the batting honors of the day. Armstrong, Everett, Hol- liday, Pache and Hanley also did good, reliable stick service. Donahue and McLaughlin officiated as umpires. The score: San Fbancisco.

About an even thousand people, mostly Oakland cranks, saw this eleven inning game at Emeryville last Friday. It was a fine hitting game, and though blunders were numerous they served to even up the score at various times and consequent- ly made matters very interesting. There was also an abun- dance of kicking, fining, excitement and phenomenal field- ing in the game, and the crowd were more than satisfied with the day's sport. McLaughlin, the umpire, was also in the game and a decision of his in the tenth bad much to do with Stookton's defeat. Armstrong lined out a hit which bounded over Dooley's head and advanced Fudger who had reached first on a single, to third. This would be two men on baBes ; and no one out, but McLaughlin astonished every ODe by j coolly announcing Armstrong's hit a foul ball and an excel- lent chance of Stockton's winning was thereby spoiled. The greatest feature of the day was Cantillion's marvellous sec- ond base play, the "Terror Han tentot" accepting in a moBt perfeot and graceful manner seventeen difficult chances of various kinds. McDonald had a sprained ankle and Cobb played short stop with poor BuccesB. The outfield of the Oaklands performed excellent work. For the Stocktons, Fudger put a Bplendid game at short and Wilson accepted1 several hard chanceB at third but slipped up on four easy; ones. Both Kilroy and Shaw pitched fairly well, teing steady, although Kilroy was bunched on oftener than his ad- versary as the following score shows.

The Senators found Lookabangh an easy mark and banged him out for sixteen safe shots while the Friscos secured bat half that number off Hoffman. As regards bases on balls and strikeouts, honors were even between them. The Frisco team put up a strong fielding game considering the terrific manner their pitchers curves were treated, but tbeir few errors, bases on ba'ls given, and Speer's passed balls were sandwiched in so neatly with the Senators hits that only three of Sacramentos eleven runs were earned. The Sacra- mentos also fielded well and ran bases cleverly, Goodenough alone having three steals to his credit. This player also led in hittine having four safe hits and a sacrifice for five times up while McHale had three hits and two sacrifices for the same number of times bat. Roberts. Hoffman, Harper, Veach, Stevens and Lookabaugh also contributed a large share to the batting work. In holding Reitz, Stapleton. Daly and Everett did the most praiseworthy Bervice.

Saturday, Sept. 13th, 1S90, at Sacramfnto. In presence of a mere handful of spectators the Friscos gave the Senators an awful drubbing, last Saturday. The Sacramento team played good ball, but Harper was bunched on heavily in the fourth, seventh and eighth innings, home runs, triples, doubles and singles being scattered around by the hard sticking Goblins in reckless profusion. Finns contin- gent also put up a pennant winning game, every mail playing stroDgly. Speer caught Coughlin in splendid style, and threw accurately and well to bases. The inneldere covered tbeir positions efficiently, while the work of the out- field was something grand, each player accepting a number of difficult chances. Coughlin was very effective in the fore- part of the game, but weakened somewhat in the ninth, al- lowing three hits in the inning, which, with an error pro- duced the Sacramentos only two runs. Roberts work in left field was of a magnificent character, that player, making four put-outs and two assists, one of the latter figuring in a clever double play. Godar and Stapleton also did well, but Reitz was charged with two errors, one a most pardonable one. In bitting Hanley, Everett and Speer led with three bits each.

Saturday Sept. 13th IS90 at San Feancisco. A large sized crowd welcomed the above teams at the Haight St. grounds last Saturday, and witnessed as fine a game as has ever been played here this season in which the Stocktons participated. Every man in the Gas City team played like a fiend and not a chance was neglected, while some stops and throws by the infield were truly wonderful. They did not hit Carsey very hard, five singles constituting their stick work, but their hits followed bases on balls and errors, and so were productive of runs. The Oaklands found Perrott for five bits, but they were well scattered and the Bplendid, sharp fielding of the Stocktonians kept their run getting down to three tallies. N. O'Neill distinguished him- self by making a very costly error in the fourth inning through which two men afterward scored. Selna was on the sick list and Holliday played a fine first base. Pache played center where he did well, and Hoffman late of Tacoma waB in left, but was offered no chances. The infield \vork(of Wilson, Fudger and Armstrong was clean, clever, and in a word, perfect. For Oakland, Cantillian, Dooley and Dun gan did some pretty and brilliant playing. The game was cIoeo and exciting all through, and the crowd seemed well satisfied with the result. The score: OAKLAND vs. STOCKTON. Sunday, Sept. 14th, 1890, at San Francisco. Five thousand spectators witnessed this rather poor game at the Haight Street grounds Sunday. Both teams played a very ordinary fielding game, and after the Oaklands took a big lead in the sixth inning, little interest was manifested. The Stocktons were minus the services of Stockwell, so Pache played right and Hen Moore made his reappearance in his old position in center field. Cobb pitched a fine game being remarkably steady, and allowing but five well scattered hits to be made through the nine innings. Kilroy wbb not so effective, being bunched on hard in the fourth and sixth innings, in each of which fonr runB were made. The Stock- tons scored one in the first on errors of C. and N. O'Neill, and two in the third on a missed third strike, a base on balls, a wild pitch, and "Sonny" Hoffman's single. This was the extent of their run-getting, being retired in short order every inning afterward. Sweeney distinguished himself at the bat and in the field, while Fudger, Dooley and C. O'Neill also did fine work at the bat. Pache made a wonderful catch in the second inning of Cobb's fly, getting the ball after a big mo about a foot from the ground. He also made several other good catches, but misjudged another one. Moore captured three good flies in center, but erred on a bard one of Cantil- lion's. The infield work was miserable, N. O'Neill, as usual, leading with three glaring errors.

The Senators made but four safe hits (three of which were seoured by Bowman) and eleven errors whioh in itself is suf- ficient to tell their "mournful tale of woe." The Friscos hit Hoffman well, getting twelve Bafe smashes, and these com- bined with the Senators eleven errors gave them ten rans, but one of which was earned. The Friscos also played a magnificent fielding game, bnt two errors marring a splendid record. Finn's aggregation took a lead from the start, which they increased right along. Stevens, Everett and Bowman were right on hand in the hitting, the last named making a tripleand twodoubles. He had do chances offered him in the field. Veach's end of a Jouble play in the sixth inniDg was a most wonderful piece of fielding. Shea, Han- ley, Veach, Stevens, Ebright, Everett and Stapleton played good ball throughout, and Speer aod McHale's back stop work was excellent, but Godar, Daly, Reitz and Hoffman had . a disastrous day.

Monday, Sept. 15th, 1890, at San Francisco. The Friscos and Oaklands played a poor game at Height street last Monday before a small crowd of shivering specta- tors. Shaw and Cotighlin were in the points for their re- spective teams and both were punched out lively. The Fris- cos got in their deadly work in the first two innings, making eight runB at this stage of tbe game and augmenting their score in the fourth, seventh and ninth, in all of which in- nings they bunched their hits. Oakland did not do any scoring until the latter part of the game, making their eight runs in the sixth, eighth and ninth, in which innings they also bunched their hits well. Aside issue was the sarcastic remarks indulged in by pitcher Shaw and which were oppor- tunely and humorou -Ay answered in every instance by tbe ' wit of the league — Peek-a-boo Veach. Barring the terrific hitting of Ebright, Shea, Speer, Lohman and McDonald, the game was well nigh devoid of features, the general fielding being of a very ordinary character.

At present writing the Friscos are third, but the win- ning of a single game is sufficient to put them in second place, so close are they to tbe Oaklands. The Stocktons per- centage remains almost stationary,, for they even up a game won by losing the next. the record: — (to Sept. 18th, inclusive). Clubs. Sacramento . . . Oakland San Francisco .

With a lead of four runs gained in the first three innings in the game it looked rather chilly for the "Nadjy" costumed Colonels. But in the fifth came their turu to score, McDonald .making the circuit on errors of Shea, Everett and Speer, and Cobb going round on his hit, steal and Cantillions safe shot. In tbe sixth the Colonels tied the score. Dooley was safe on Veach's error and scored on Sweeneys long triple. Then DnDgan sent Sweeney across the plate with an earned rnn on his safe shot past third. Matters remained stationary till the ninth, in which the Friscos went out in one, two, three ■order. For Oakland, McDonald was the first onton Ebrights assist. Then "Tip" O'Neill got a catch over short bnt it took an awkward long bound, and before the ball waB fielded O'Neill was on second aDd oredited with a double. Cobb sacrificed him to third and Cantillion's "beant" into left scored him and won the game. With the exception of the sixth and ninth innings, in which the Oaklands bunched their hita. Cougblin pitched a splendid game. Cobb was al- so effective, the Friscos being unable to gather tbeir many long hits together in any inning except the third, when Shea got a single, Ebright a double, and Stevens a triple. There was some powerful long bitting done, Ebright captur- ing the honors with three beautiful doubles. Sweeney and Stevens had a triple each, and Hanley and Norris O'Neill a double. Some of the stops made by Everett and McDonald were phenomenal, while Dungan made a sensational catch in right center in the fifth inning. Hanley's outfielding was also of a magnificent character while Dooley covered first in his own inimitable splendid style. Tbe score; Little CaTsey is a great pitcher, but he has been playing in hard luck lately. It is rumored that Youngs release from the Stocktons will occur in the near future. Fatsy Cahill is doing excellent work at the bat and in cen- ter field for the Portlands. The players of the Fresno team should be closely watched, They're winning everything "in sight.' McGucken has been released from the Baltimores and Johnson of the Newarks signed in his place. Players Seward, Shafer and Robinson of the Athletic Club of the American Association have brongnt suit for back salaries. "Chick" Speer is said immensely popular with the fair sex in Valle jo, who only know of the clever little backstop through the newspapers. Jaok Hayes' injuring was Buch as to cause his retirement from the diamond for some time to come. He is now tend- ing bar in Port Townsend. First baseman Beckley, short stop Fuller, Fielder Mc- Carthy and second baseman Robinson will all be with Com- iBkey on his Pacific Coast trip. Cobb has won ten of the eleven last games he has pitched in, winning nine straight. Quite a record for a pitcher many thought wouldn't last the season out. The Boston League Club is now thanking its lucky stars that it did not release Lou Hardie when it contemplated do- ing so, sayB a recent issue of the Sporting Life. Pete Sweeney is putting up a *'good every day" game at short for the LouisvilleB. Pete has already been seen with the St. Louis, St. Paul and Louisvilles thiB season. Next! The other day a man of a minsterlal air dropped into a news depot on High street and asked for a paper "with no base ball news in it." "Well sir," replied the dealer, "you jnst step in at the next door and get some fly paper. — Louisville POBt. "Sonny" Hoffman, who has found a berth with the Stock- tons, gives every evidence of being an excellent hitter and base-runner, and handles himself like an expert fielder. It is to be hoped that his future work will fulfill the good im- pressions he has created. Pache, the amateur, has shown that he is a fielder of no ordinary merit, covering ground fast and judging a ball rightly, but at the bat he is somewhat weak. However, he iB the makiDg of a good ball player, and with a years' hard practice, will be capable enough to take his position with any of them. Luby the Chicago twirler, has displaced John Keilly as the leading National League batsman. His percentage in twenty-two gameB is .377, while the lanky baseman's is 336. "Darby" O'Brien, Jack Glasscock, Hamilton and Tieruan fol- low in tbe order named, with percentages of 328, .322, .318 and .116 respectively. From Sept. 5th to Sept. 15th inclusive, the San Franciscoe played every day, taking part in eleven consecutive games of which they won seven. They won four of five played with Sacramento, and quit even with Oakland and Stockton, taking two of four played with the Colonels, and one of the, two played with the tail enders. Colonel Dungan has not been getting in his two and three hits a game lately. About one a game seems to be his limit now. Can it be that the pitchers have discovered his weak- ness? Zimmer, of Cleveland, caught ooe hundred and eleven suc- cessive games this season, and only quit on account of the serious illness of his wife. Andy Somers replaces him behind the bat. George Kelly, who played in the forepart of the season with Stockton, and who ranked tenth in the batting list of the League with a percentage of 274, is now the short stop of the Amateur Barlingtons. Captain Ebright iB punisbiDg the ball as severely as any of them now. Some of bis hits are terrific long shots and come in very opportunely; for instance, that three bagger last Mon- day which cleared the bases, Umpire McLaughlin, who, in his official capacity, did not score a brilliant success, has bsen released from the Califorr nia League staff of umpires, and Charley Sweeney 1b tempor- arily tilling the vacancy in a very acceptable manner. McLaughlin intends going to the Springs for a few weeks, as his system is completely run down, after which he will re- tarn to his home in Indiana. We are much inclined to believe that theStockton directors made a mistake when they appointed Armstrong captain of the team. Beyond question, Armstrong is a .first class ball player, but is poorly fitted to make an efficient captbin being loo domineering and obstreperous in disposition to succeed in getting good harmonious work out of the players. A- change of captaincy would undoubtedly prove beneficial. For three games played Sept. 13th, 14th, and 15th, tbe San Franciscos made 39 hits out of 121 times at bat, giving a team batting average of 322. This is excellent stick work, and considering that the three games were won off such pitchers as Harper, Hoffman and Shaw, manager Finn should appreciate his team's sncceBBful efforts by procuring them the much needed new uniforms. Hen Moore received a most hearty ovation when he stepped to the bat in last Sundays game. Hen has always been a prime favorite here, and although he failed to distinguish himself in last Sunday's game, he is yet a strong reliable hitter, a magnificent fielder, and rapid base runner. If Moore was signed with some of the teams under congenial conditions, he would again be one of the "stars" of the League. On a ball field one often sees a catcher receive a ball full on the mask with force enough, perhaps, to bend the atrong wires of the protector. He will grab his mask off, rub his forehead for a moment, and go on catching, and one wonders just how much protection the mask was. A blow on the mask is dreaded by a catcher almost as much as a broken finger. A heavy blow with most catchers means a headache for several days, and sometimes longer. It frequently hurts the eyes. Almost every catcher has suffered that way at some time or another. Here are a few minor leaguers that it will pay the big clubs to watoh; First baseman Powers, of Baltimore; center fielder Lally and pitchers Horner, Doran and Gilliland, of New Haven: catcher McCaffrey, pilcher Swift and first baseman Rodgers, of Lebanon; second baseman Eagan and left fielder Jones, of Harrisburg; second baseman Lang, of Quincy; catcher Frost, of Peoria; second baseman Day, of Minneapo- lis; pitcher and left fielder Smith and center field Barns, of Kansas City; pitcher Clark, of Omaha; catcher Cahill, of New Haven, and pitcher Thornton, of Milwaukee. — Philadelphia Press. It is said that Mr. Hellman, who is the promoter and prime factor in the Southern California Leaeue movement, will negotiate for tbe services of umpires Gaffney and Sheridan to officiate at the games to be played during the winter schedule of that League at Los Angeles and adjacent cities. While Gaffney is undoubtedly one of the foremost autocrats of tbe diamond, let us ask, why not give honest Jack Donahue, who has proven himself indisputably highly efficient, con- scientious and gentlemanly, a chance? We have never seen Mr. Gaffney umpire, but if he is the superior of Donahue, he must be well nigh infallible. The Stocktons' new uniforms, while not exceedingly attractive, are neat, tidy and servicable. When the direc- tors of a tail end club, playing to empty.benches are magnan- imous enough to expend seventy-five or one hundred dollars on a new outfit so that their team may appear in respectable condition and also fulfill the requirements of the National Playing Rules, it would seem that there was "something rot- ten in the state of Denmark" when the team which repre- sents the metropolis of tbe Pacific Coast, and which is mak- ing a big play for the pennant, has to be paraded time and time again before tbe wearied eyes of an indulgent pabliu in uniforms that would actually disgrace a team from pauper- dom.

Sunday, Sept. 14th, 1S90, at San Francisco. The Fincks broke thoir long string of defeats by winning a well contested game from the leaders last Sunday. Manager Grace brought down a powerful team, in fact his strongest of the season, with Callen and Pace in the "points." The Young Giants also showed up in splendid form having How- ell in the box and Dave Levy at the receiving end. Both pitchers did excellent work but Howell was the steadier, giv- ing but threa bases on balls, and allowing six well scattered hiis. Callen was touched ud lively for eight "safe shots" and also gave five bases on balls and had two wild pilches. HiB battery errors figured materially in the Fincks run get- ting. The Gelding game put up by both teams was of an ex- ceptionally clever character, only three errors being made by each side. The intield of both teams were almost invincible many difficult chances being cleverly accepted. Tillson and Deeney figured in two splendid double plays. Reilly, Hulen, Bradley and Kelly for the Santa RosaB again showed their efficiency as a stonewall intield. The work of the outfielders was perfect. Gimmel, McCarthy and Conway were the only players offered chances, which were all well accepted, and the rapid return of the ball by Gimmel and McCarthy assis- ted in two put outs. Pace's back work was something grand, that player throwing out six runners at bases. Conway, Deeney and Pace led with two hits each. The score: F.

Sunday, Sept. 14th, 1890, at Vallejo. The MarineB took another tumble out of the "Sports" by just one ran last Sunday. Both McDonald and Sprague were hit hard, but Sprague was effective with men on bases striking out no less than twelve men. In the ninth the Al- iens made a great finish by bunching their hits and tallying five rnns, almost tyiDg the score. "Speedy" McDonald was steadier than usual but the heavy hitting Marines tapped him out lively all through the game making thirteen "aafe shots" including two triples and two doubles. The same number of long hits were made off Sprague. Neither teams fielding was up to the standard, the left side of the Marines being particularly "shaky." The Aliens had one error dis- tributed to each player with the exception of their first and second baseman and right fielder. In the hitting Broderick, Buckley, Wise and Smith carried off the honors, each mak- ing three hits while Philpot, Boyle. Mulvey and Stanford followed with two eaoh to their credit. The praiseworthy features were Farrell's catching, Hughes' second base play and the clever in6elding of Broderick, Evatt, Philpot and Buckley. The score: McGulre, e 8..

FRESNO vs. MERCED. Sunday, Sept. 14th, 1S90, at Fresno. Austin's clever Fresno team was again too much for the Mercede, for they out-played them at every point. Kessell was landed on heavily, eleven "safeties" being secured by the Fresnos, one being a home run, another a double and two tripleB. He gave way in the latter part of the game to De Pangher, who did but little better. The nine errors distrib- uted throughout the Merced team proved costly. Fresno fielded well, three of their five errors going to Utt, who had an ''off day." The Merceds took -a lead at the beginning, but were overtaken and overtopped in the fourth by the Fresnos, who scored four runs in that inning, after which it was all clear sailing, and they won "hands down." Chase pitched a masterly game for the home team, allowing but six hits and disposing of thirteen opposing batsmen on strikes. He was admirably supported at the reoeiving end by the vet- eran Jack Cullen. Matt Stanley at first, and Thurman at third base, played a perfect game. For Merced, Thomma caught in good shape, throwing out five men at bases. Drum, Thurman and Pier hit terrifically. McClure, an old-time player, umpired very satisfactorily.

Andy Smith is Vallejos strongest hitter. Well, well! how the Marines are climbing up. "Pace made the three runs of his side last Sunday. Losing games by just one run has been the Aliens luck all season. Billings is doing reliable work behind the bat for the Aliens. Warren had out a strong fielding and hard hitting team last Sunday. Baltz. the king pin twirler, pitches against Santa Rosa to- morrow. Conway, of the Fincks, made two beautiful doubles last Sunday. Farrell is putting up a bang up game for the Young Qiants at third. That three bagger of Josh Reilly's in the Santa Rosa- Will & Finck game was a "corker." No less than four amateur games are played every Satur- day on inclosed grounds in Melbourne. The Young Giants won a game last Sunday, and from the leaders. Hope it will break their spell of bad luck. Fred Sprague is pitching fine ball for the Marines. Last. Sunday he did not give a base on balls and struck out twelve batsman. Smith's Burlingtons have started off well. They're in the race with a rush, and thus far have prattioally substantiated President Gage's good judgment in making the change. The Reports were defeated last Sunday morning at the Haight 8t. grounds by the Burlington*) — score 4 to 1. It was a regalar schedule game. The batteries were Rohan and Wilds, and Monet and Thompson, No official tabulated score of the game was kept In the last two gameB Maguire of the Vallejos has aocepted but four chances oat of twelve, making eight errors. This is a miserable showing for a player like Maguire, who in ihe fore part of the season loomed up like a "star". Brace up Tom, you don't want to be like O'Neill. Charley Tillson's work at short this season has been truly magnificent. There is no player in the California Amateur or Professional League that fields the position more cleverly or braioily tban does this young player. Tillson should rightfully have been in the big league three years ago if players are to be judged by their abilities. To-morrow at 2 o'clock the Aliens and Burlingtons will pUy a benefit game at Emeryville, the proceeds to go to Billy Kennedy, the clever and popular young player who broke his ankle wbile participating in a game played between the same teams at the Haight St. grounds on the 7th inst. The game is the regular championship one wbioh was sched- uled for Vallejo. There will undoubtedly be a large attend- ance aB both teams put up a good article of ball, and it will be the first Sunday afternoon game of any prominence played in Oakland this season. Those attending from this side should take the 1 o'clock boat and connect with the Berkeley train. The game betweenSanta Rosa and Vallejo to-morrow ought be to a dandy. The Vallejos want the game to add to their long list of victories, while the Smta Rosas will do their utmost to win it in order to keep the lead. The Vallejos have already won four of the five games played with Grace's men. A large crowd will accompany the Marines, and a "warm" day may be expected in the "City of the Roses." Josh Reilly won. a suit of clotbes by banging out a three base hit in last Sunday's Santa Rosa — Will & Finck game. The donor is Manager Grace who made the proposition to his players that whoever scored a triple in the game would be presented with an order for a forty dollar suit, and Josh was the lucky man. The hit was a terrific one to the left field fence, and went past Conway like a flash. In the National— Rincon game at Central Park Sept. 8th, Larkins, the center fielder of the Nationals should have been credited with two put outs in the second inning, but which were, in some unaccoantable manner, accredited opposite the name of Long, the first baseman, whose name in the score book immediately followed tnat of Larkins. We hasten to correot the mistake which was an over-sight and thor- oughly unintentional on the part of the scorer. The put outs were two excellent catches, one retiring Finn, the first man up iu the second inning, and the other, a long fly cap- tured from Blakiston'B bat retired the side. Instead of ten put outs Long should have eight, while the other two should be found opposite Larkins' name, making a clean fielding record for that player. Senatorial Sayings. Aevine's Cbat Concerning the Sacramento Amatenr Matters. [Special Correspondence.] Sacramento, Sept. 19th, 1890 Editor Breeder and Sportsman;— The State Fair has come, and with the races and many other attractions, the interest in baBe ball has been considerably lessaned for a time at least. The Senators played three games last week with Mike Finn's convalescent aggregation, only one of which they won. All the gameB were replete with heavy hitting and some very abominable playing, especially on the part of the Senators. The attendance at the games on Friday and Saturday was very small indeed, while that of Sunday was not above the average. The interest in base ball in the Cap- ital City seems to be dying out, and for what reason no one Beems to be able to tell. The owners of the local team have braved a great deal of trouble and expense, and through their untiring efforts they have placed a team before the bull lov- ing publio of this city, of wbich they should well feel proud. The attendance at the games in this city is not what it should be, with such a team as the Senators are, and it is very dis- couraging to the owners to think that after their hard labors to have a pennant winning club in the Capital City, their efforts are but poorly appreciated. I happened to be naBsing by the place where the cranks hold out, the other evening, and I overheard a conversation between two enthusiasts re- garding the situation and the outlook for baseball here next season. They seemed to think that Saoramento woold be dead to professional base ball for a good many years to come. On what they based their aBsertlonB I did not hear, but I hope that they will be mistaken, as nothing goes so far to adver- tise a place as a good professional ball team. In a conver- sation with Mike Firm while he was in Sacramento, he remarked to me about the Amateur League, and informed me that he has always been in favor of the younger organiza- tion, and hopes to see them prosper. Dick Nagle of the old Alameda Maroons is now playing ball in Merced. Dick is a fine ball player and a gentleman, and I hope he will be successful. Baltz and Hughes of the Vallejos, of the California Ama- teur League are Saoramento boys, and have played under my management for over three years. They both are excel- lent ball players, and in them the Vallejo club has a pair that are hard to beat. Jack Daly, the Sanator's brilliant guardian of their short held is still the same old Jack; and if there is to be a profes- sional team in Saoramento next year, I hope that Jack will remain with us. Are you with us, Jack? Matt D. SCHEDULE OF GAMES —OF THE— CALIFOENIA Base Ball League SEASON 1890. •Sept. 20th to Sept. 27th. AT SAN FRANCISCO. ■ EPTEMBER 2n..... Oakland vb.

Subscribers to tbis paper can have advice through this column in all cases of sick or injnred 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 answers by mail should be accompanied by two dollars, and addressed to Wm. F. Egan, M. R. C. V. S. 1117 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco. W. E. G. I have a yearling colt that seems healthy in every way and eats well, but when I bring him into his stable at night he grants and groans almost all the time. Please let me know the cause of this. Answer. — Your colt is most probably a "roarer." You can find this out by giving him severe exercise and listening to his breathing, or by standing him up by a fence or wall and pretending to Btrike him suddenly with a whip when, if he is a "roarer, " he will emit a grunt. "Roarers" generally emit this granting sound when they lie down, especially af- ter a large feed. C. L. I have a horse with five or six large warts on the belly. They sometimes get red and sore and look bad. I burned them with caustio but it does not appear to do thorn any good. How can I remove them? Answer — Cut the skin round their base and remove them. If it bleeds much cauterize the part with a red hot iron. X. I followed the advice given in your issue of August 16th, and my colt has progressed rapidly, but be has still a thick- ening round the throat and when he runs fast makes a noise in breathing. Is there anything that can be dune for him. Answer. — Apply a beniodide of mercury, blister one part of the ben-iodide to eight of lard, to the throat where the thick- ening remains and give him half a drachm of potassium- iodide daily in a mash for a month. H. T. I have a nice colt four years old and very promising. He has an enlargement of the off hind leg where curb generally comes. I think it is too large to be a curb and it does not appear to lame him, but gets a little larger everv time I drive him and comes down again when I give him a few dajs rest. What is it and what should I do to it? Answer. — It is a curb. The most effectual treatment is fo fire and blister it and give him rest. Subscriber. Dr. Egan requests to know if my colt shows weakness across the loins when backed up or turned around quiokly? He does show weakness of the loin, and turns with difficulty with his hind legs. This weakness in the back is due to a hurt or sprain, not from irritation of the wolfteeth. If he be so bad as to fall when yon back him quickly, it is almost a hopeless case, but seeing that he is young, his chances of recovery are better. Apply some counter irritant such as the firing- iron or a blis- ter, and do not allow him any severe exercise. You must be careful in blistering him to wash it off after it has risen, and Bmear the part over with sweet oil, as a blister over the loins is liable to become absorbed and injure the colt. Give him ten grains of dux vomica daily in a mash. Answer — Your horses and cattle have not all died from the game disease. The cattle appear to have died from an anthracoid disease, most probably anthrax or splenic apoplexy, which kills cat- tle veiy suddenly, generally within twenty-four hours of its first appearance. In this disease a post-mortem examination shows the spleen enormously enlarged, and the blood of the animal is very dark. The contents of the intestines and bladder are also generally mixed with blood. The sockling colts presents the symptions of aranyles, while the old mare showed some symptions of azoturia, and others of having eaten a poisonous herb which sometimes gets mixed with hay. Some of the other horses appear to have had strangles strangles,in which disease, abcesses form in different parts of the body. The part becomes swollen and very painful,con- sequently the horse shows lameness in the leg nearest that part. The chest is a favorite place for the.se absesses to form, but they are liable to form in almost any part of the body. If any deaths should occur again in your neighborhood, make a post-mortem examination of the animal or animals and endeavor to answer as many of the questions asked by me in our issue of the Aug. 23rd as possible, and I shall endeavor to give you a more definite reply. You did not give any symptoms in the cattle either before or after death. E. S. C. I will try to answer as many of your questions as I can. I have had in all eight head affected with this same disease, and five of them have died. The Btiffness affects the leg nearest the swollen part, and that has been in different cases from the throat to the hind hoofs. Some of the later oases ate and drank up to within a few hours of death, which has occurred in from twenty-four to sixty hours of the first ap- pearance of the illness. The swellings that were opened consisted of a jellylike white substance. Some of the stock had free access to running water, but one or two were sup- plied from a flowing well of clear and apparently pure wa- ter. Some of them were on wet ground and others on dry soil. The horses varied in age from a suckling colt to six- teen years of age. The glands did not appear to be enlarged and with one or two exceptions, there was no discbarge from the nose, and then the throat seemed badly involved. The actions of the horses were as near natural as possib'e to an animal not perfectly well and none seemed to suffer any severe pain. A. sucking filly made considerable noise in breathing for more than twenty-four hours, and her throat was covered with ulcers on the inside. As far as noticed, the urine and manure were in a natural state and there were no twitchings of the muscles. As we were not prepared for such work, we did not make any postmortem examination. The cattle, most of them, seemed to die very suddenly, being well at night and dead in the morning. The colt, and ap- parently most of the fatal cases, seemed to keep on their feet till they dropped dead, and evidently witboot a struggle. One old mare was fed in the morning and in about half an hour it was noticed that she had begun to swell at tbe stifle and in an hour it bad spread on to her belly and up her hip on top of her hack, and seemed to be covered with small lumps. She recovered, while younger stock that seemed to be no worse at first died. I shall be glad to be able to have deeciibed this disease, so you can tell what it is. Standard and Non-Standard Breeding. We clip from the Boston Horse Breeder the following article: The fact that Leopard Rose, a marenon-standard by breed- ing, has proved the fastest trotter and best campaigner in her class this season, shows that there is some deep, hidden mys- tery surrounding the cause or causes upon which trotting speed depends that the standard advocates have failed to reach. We have no desire to disparage the standard advo- cates have failed to reach. We have no desire to disparage the standard, but do believe that, if the deep thinkers and facile writers, like Iconoclast, Aurelics and others of that class, would drop the thoroughbred question for a time, and seek to unravel this mystery mentioned, they will render the breeders of trotting stock throughout the country even more valuable service than they are now doing. It is a singular fact, as has often been remarked, that most of our very fastest trotters and greatest campaigners were either by sires or from dams whioh were not bred in accord- ance with the standard formula. Miss Russell, dam of Maud S., 2:08f, was by Pilot Jr., out of the thoronghbred mare Sally Russell by Boston. She was not standard by breeding. She possessed qualities, however, and imparted them to her distinguished daughter, which enabled the latter to gain the trotting crown and hold it for years against all aspirants. Midnight, dam of Jay-Eye-See, 2:10, the fastest gelding that has yet appeared, was by Pilot Jr., out of Twilight, a thor- oughbred daughter of Lexington by Boston. Midnight could not have been admitted to standard rank when foaled. She had the power, however, to produce a trotter so fast that only Maud S. has yet been able to reach the mark he set. The dam of Sunol, 2:10i, was Waxana by Gen. Benton, from Waxy, a thoronghbred daughter of Lexington, son of Boston. Waxana was not standard by breeding, yet there was something in her composition which enabled her to pro- duce the trotting wonder of the age. Flora Gardner, dam of Guy (2:19f),was by Seeley's Ameri- can Star; dam by Bay Richmond. She was not standard bred, but only the three trotters above named have yet suc- ceeded in getting faster records than Guy, which, though somewhat eratis and national, has a world of speed. The next trotter in rank is St. Julien (2:ll£), whose sire is Volun- teer, a son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian and the famous Lady Patriot that was not standard by breeding. The dam of St. Julien was Flora, by Sayre's Harry Clay, and .flora's dam was by a dun colored horse whoBe sire was imported from France. Flora was not standard bred. Here are five of the fastest trotters yet produced, and not one of the;lot out of a dam that was standard bred. In fact, a large proportion of the most distinguished brood mares yet produced were of the non-standard variety. To date only six mares have ever produced five or more 2:30 performers each, viz: Green Mountain Maid, dam of seven; Minnehaha, dam of five; Alma Mater, dam of five; Ned, dam of Ave; Waterwich, dam of five, and Emeline, dam of six. Neither of these mares was standard by breeding. The five greatest trotting sires yet brought to light, meas- ured by the number of sons and daughters with which each is credited in the 2:30 list, are Geo. Wilkes, Wilson's Blue Bull, Electioneer, Happy Medium and Rysdyk's Hamble- tonian. Neither of the dams of these wonderful trotting progenitors were bred in conformity to the standard formula. Those of Blue Bull and Rysdyk's Hambletonian are not stan- dard to-day. The same is true of the dam of Daniel Lam- bert, the greatest of New England sires, and also the dam of Geo. Knox, another famous New England Bire, which ranks second only to Daniel Lambert among all the stallions that ever stood in New England, judged by the 2:30 list. These mares, though not standard by breeding, possessed and transmitted qualities which gave them their marked dis- tinction. What were those qualities? From what were they inherited? "What were the characteristics of these great mares and their ancestors? These are questions which in- terest, every breeder of trotting stock. Young breeders have bfien taught in the past to study the blood lines of the fast turf performers. Many have dene so very carefully, and with profit to themselves. They have found, however, that these mares were bred from different strains. Not two of the five mares above mentioned are by the same sire, and they represent four different trotting families. Breeders can learn such facts as these from the registers and records. The registers and records, however, do not furnish a key to the question why Green Mountain Maid proved so far superior to all other daughters of Sayre's Harry Clay, or why each of the other mares mentioned were so far superior to any of tbe other daughters of their respective sires. There is some reason for this condition of affairs, and the man who discovers this reason, and makes it plain to the average of breeders will confer on them a priceless boom. We believe that if youDg breeders will study the charac- teristics of the ancestors more thoroughly, the knowledge which they gain can be so utilized as to largely increase their chances of success in producing animals far above the aver- age in point of quality and speed. Observation and experience have taught us to believe that the very best results are obtaiued by breeding from resolute, nervy mares that are free, courageous drivers and untiring roadsters, even though they may not be remarkably fast trot- ters. As a general rule the more vim, power or nerve force the mare possesses the more likely she will be to produce a trotting wonder. We are informed that the dams of Axtell, 2.12 and Jack, 2:12i, were of that kind, and that neither of them could trot a full mile better than about four minutes. Young breeders who are starting in with a purpose to raise nothing but standard stock should not only aim to get the best bred animals that they ran seoure, but also insist upon having those possessing tbe characteristics that great brood mares ex- hibited, and possessing them so strongly .that they show plainly when the- animal is hitched to a carriage or led to a halter. Do not pay any leas attention te tbe blood lines of your stallions and brood mares, young breeders, bnt do pay much more attention to the quality of them than has been done in the past. Follow this practice carefully and yon will get animals that will sell for large prices on their merits, aside from their breeding. A Good Place to Sell or Buy- E. W. Woods, whose experience as a dealer in horses, and whose reDutation for honesty cannot be questioned, is now located at" the Central Park Horse Market, opposite tbe New City Hall, on Mission Street. He is prepared to buy, sell or take for sale on commission horses of every description, and is not above including mules or "burros." Those who have any business of this sort to transact, will find it to their benefit to give Mr. Woods a call, a* they can depend upon getting a "square deal" either gelling or buying. Chicago Great Combination Sale. Remember that entries for F. J. Berry Jc Co's sale Nov. 4th to 9th close Oct. 4th, and the catalogue is fast filling up. Von want to hurry up your entries and secure a good place in the sale. Remember the sale is the same week as the great horse show and horsemen will be here from all parts of America, and will attend the Barry sale in the daytime and the horse show in the evenings. The Great American Horse Show combined with the very large and extensive trade of Berry &. Co., as their trade extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and have had 35 years experience in the business and the largest dealers in the world, selling 15.000 horses yearly, Thus consignors can readily see the vast amoa at of trade controlled by F. J. Bsrry & Co., and the double force of boyers brought to their sale will more than guarantee a great successful sale, as a very large per cent of the entries are of a very high order and will represent the blood of most all of the great sires such as Red Wilkes, Onward, Electioneer, Kentucky Prince, Pilot Medium, Happy Medium and most all of the sons of Hambletonian 10 and many other very popular sires. They hare a pavilion built on purpose for holdirig auction sales, heated by steam, all under cover, track 1J miles for showing speed and all of the accommodations. For entry blanks, address, F.

Roberts of the firm of Roberts k Co., iron merchants, Sydney, writes: Breeding is carried on very differently here to what it is in America, no I should imagine any way after years of diligent perusal of your splendid paper and the California Breeder and Sportsman. As you will doubtless know I was among the first to in- troduce the American trotting horse to Australia, importing for this purpose, stallions: Boccaccio by Woodford; Len Rose by A. W Richmond; Pioneer by C. M. Clay; and mares: Tilda C, Sylph, Rosemary, Fanny, Cora, Victoria, Feruleaf, and the gelding Fred. And I am pleased to say that though the sporting men held up their hands in holy horror, they have now taken to it, and trotting races are of frequent occurrence, well attended, well contested, and getting more popular yearly. In proof of this I may just mention that at a recent sale of the yearlings belonging to the hitherto larg- est breeder of thoroughbred stock in Australia, the trotting stock, a new feature, fetched higher prices and highest aver- age. The fastest horses in Australia were bred by me, White Rose and DeCameron, both by Boccaccio. A lot of horses which have come out from America were never more than third or fourth raters, and were sold on their name; they themselves were never good, and it is use- less to expect their progeny to be. People are tired of beiDg offered American trotters that either can't or won't trot; and thus those wnich come pass into obscurity — a place they should never have left. A horse that could fairly trot 2:20 would be a novelty here. People say our tracks are greased, or you calculate a furlong as 200 yards and eight to a mile— 1,600 yards for an American mile, like your gallon as against English, or your hnnhredweight, 100 lbs. vs. 112 lbs. English; or your watches are slow ; or, what is more horrible etill, for your papers hint at it, or your laws are taking cognizance of it, your judges and timers make time to suit, as your Senator did with his sentiments — "Gents, them's my sentiments; if they don't suit I can alter them.' Boccaccio, whose stock is reported as doing so well in Australia, is a bay horse, foaled in 1S73, bred in Kentucky, and by Woodford, out of Rising Star, by Gage's Logan, son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Woodford was by Woodford Mambrino, out of Mahala, by Mahomet, son of Sovereign, and she out of Madame Porter, by Orphan Boy. Tne Mam- brino Chief and Hambletonian strains in him were stoutly supported by thoroughbred strains. We hope that Boccac- cio will become the recognized founder of a trotting family in Australia. It is gratifying to hear that trotting races are well attended in that country. With improved tracks and a better system of training and driving, a 2;20 horse will cease to be a novelty. The suspicion that our principal tracks are short, and the watches not started and stopped correctly, is without foundation. Ii Mr. Roberta will go down our Grand Circuit line next Summer, he will discover that as a rule the time is correctly taken. There was a time when foreigners could be induced to buy our failures and broken down trotters, but not now. Eyes have been opened and deception is less easily prac- ticed. We are glad of this, because the breeder will stand a better show when the dishonest trader is left severely alone by purchasers from abroad. Notice to Horsemen. Wm. Boyd, the well known horseshoer, wishes to notify the public that he will be prepared to meet his old custo- mers and new ones, at the Stockton Race Track during tbe fair. ^ The Turf Field and Farm, wbich is always ready to say mean things of the West, is very much exercised because there have been some notable reductions of records over the Independence track, and more than insinuates that the tim- ing was done to order, says the Breeders Gazette. This ia the sheerest nonsense. Everybody admits that the baloon- shaped track is the fastest yet devised, and while there are a good many people wbo were astonished at and suspioious of the records made at Independence, the only person with so little wit as to charge that the timing was fraudulent, is our Eastern contemporary. There is a well-defined impres- sion among horsemen that it would be a good thiog to have the Independence track measured under the supervision of tbe American or National Trotting Association, as was sug- gested in these columns last week, and it is more than likely that this will be done. To charge fraudulent timings is silly. There were hundreds of outside watches at Independence that corresponded with those of the timers. There is do doubt that Roy Wilkes, Jack, Margaret S., Alvin and the rest trotted in the time hung out. The only question is Did they go a mile? 256 their bright and breezy news matter. Another Los Angeles Meeting. The early Bummer meeting of the Los Angeles Agri- cultural Association was so highly successful that it has been deemed expedient by the Board of Directors to give another meeting later on in the year, and to that end advertise in the present issue of the Breeder and Sportsman that they will give five days' racing, com" mencing October 14th and extend to the 18th inclusive. The programme, as will be seen, is an exceedingly good one and consists of running, trotting and pacing, and beyond preadventure, the entries will be large as there are several stables now on the circuit, whose owners say that they will winter in the southern portion of the State. The Pacific Blood Horse Association rules will govern all the running races, while the American Trot, ting Association rules will be used for the trotters and the side wheel division. Entries, as will be seen, close on October 1st, so there is but little time to spare in making arrangements for a visit to the southern section. The railroad company, so it is stated, will convey horses by the car load from San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno and intermediate points to Los Angeles, either in baggage or special cars for #100. This is very reasonable.and shows that the railroad company is desirous of assisting the associations in their good work. The Horse Illustrated. We wish to acknowledge the receipt of a work en- titled "The Horse Illustrated,*' which consists of a port, folio of twelve large plates of beautiful photo engraving, embracing one hundred and fifty accurate cuts of every feature, virtue, vice, disease and point of the horse. It is one of the most instructive publications that has been issued for a long time, and there is no horse owner who can afford to be without it, especially in view of the fact that the cost is only a half dollar. The cuts have been arranged with a great deal of care, and there is no one but what can obtain valuable information from the pictures as given. It is published by H. C. Brainerdi 675 St. Clair Street, Cleveland, Ohio, from whom it can be purchased. The Old Admiral's Hand. Illness An Excuse. In all well regulated newspaper offices, it becomes necessary to have such a corps of men in readiness for immediate work, that the illness of any one of the regu- lar staff is not of much moment. However, there are timeB when offices are ciught shorthanded, and we are in that condition this week, as three of our staff are con- fined to their rooms, while our extra men are scattered over the State, where racing is being held or about to be held. Usually all the departments of the Breeder and Sportsman are kept up to such a high standard that we (Communicated.) The American breeder who has familiarized himself with English racing history, would, if asked who was the best judge of race horses within the past centnry, answer "Ad- miral Rous," almost without a moment's hesitation. As a handioapper he never had an equal, and this fa«t is abund- antly attested by the dead heat between three horses — Prior- ess, El Hakim and Quaen Bess — for the Cesarewitoh of 1858. In the run off Prioress won, owing largely, in my belief, to Mr. Pryor's experience in "cooling oat" horses for the sys- tem of heat races then in vogue in America but long disused in England. To the old Admiral is Australia very largely indebted for her great stook of galloping horses, originally imported from England and improved in bone and substance by a century of acclimatization upon the limestone pastures of the great South Continent. He first went out there in 1825 as a cap- tain in the British Navy. Seeing great opportunities for young men to engage in pastoral pursuits and "grow up with the country," he sent oat his two nephews from England and paved the way for them to aoqaire large leaseholds of crown lands. In the following year he shipped them oat two stallions — Emigrant and Theorem — which arrived there in safety, together with seven blooded mares, amoog them Lady Emily, Mirror and Miss Laue, all of which figure prom- inently in good performers' pedigrees to this very day. While Theorem was a horse above average excellence, Emigrant was vastly his superior. He was a brown horse, 15 hands, 3 inches high, and of immense substance. His feet were hard as vulcanized rubber and bis cannon booes seemed made of fliut. The venerable Mr. William Gosper of Windsor, said to us one day "1 doan't tbiuk 1 ever saw a horse I liaed better than ould Emigrant; and you'll remem- ber, The Barb died my property." And his life-long neigh- bor, Mr. George Yeo, who is now hugging the lee shores of seventy pretty olose, said one day to as, "I was quite a well- grown lad when I saw Emigrant, and, barring Yattendon, I never saw a horse I liked better." The following table shows the list of the stallions sent out by the old Admiral to hie nephews in New South Wales. 1828, Emigrant, br h, 5 years, got by Pioneer— Ringtail by Buzzard— Deoeiver's dam by Trentham — Sister to Drone by Herod. Pioneer was by Whisky out of Prunella by High- fly ei. 1828, Theorem, ch h, 4 years, by Merlin, (son of Castrel) — Pawn (sister to Penelope) by Trumpator — Prunella by Highflyer. This horse was Bent out from England on the brig Rainbow, and arrived in Sydney after a passage of 212 daye. I. i m * I Hi S !. ltlo mi ■ 1890 arlibus said, 'Where is the Royal train?' The word was an open sesame, one official pointed to it, another waved me on. My ticket was not aBked for, and so. having passed the barrier, I ensconoed myself in the carriage of an ordinary train, and sped back to London. The records made at the great Independence meeting are still the wonder of the hour. It haB been demonstrated tbat while the kite-shaped track will b? popular with breeders and those desiring fast records for the borse, tbe pnblic and professional horsemen are not in love with it. The public from tne fact that they cannot see the drives and interesting points, the distance the horses are from them and the diffi- culty in placing them when going from or coming toward the stand, the chances for fraud which cannot be discovered only by having patrol judges about every furlong. The pro- fessional horsemen from the faot that his horse is liable to get a mark that will outclass him several seconds over a circular track. The Independence traok is down hill "all the way," and in the words of a prominent driver "all you have to do is to hold your horses's head and let him Blide." After all the hurrahis over there will be but very few tracks of this shape built. The grand stand, club house, superintendent's office and board walk leading to the railroad station, located on the old Monmouth Park race track, were consumed by fire at noon on Thursday, Aug. 29, says the Turf Field and Farm. Tbe old stables were also consumed and with them a number of muleB and one horBe. The fire originated in the mule sta- ble and quickly spread to the adjoining building. The Long Branch andEatontown tire companies were summoned, but the wooden structures were in ashes before they could get to work. The loss is placed at between $15,000 and $20,000, the latter figures being the estimate of the officers of tbe association, and is fully covered by insurance, Tbe origin of the tire is shrouded in mystery. Mrs Edward Feakes. the wife of the trainer of the Preaknesa Stable, was the first to discover it. Mr. Feakes at once removed his horees to a place of safe'y, but nothing could be done to stay the flames, the old buildings burning like tinder, The draft through the long covered board walk was so strong that the flames were drawn through it with great rapidity. The principal breeders in this State have of late neglected the stock exhibits at the State Fair; it is a great mistake as there are always many Eastern visitors, ancf they are apt to go away with a poor impression of the great breeding farms of the State. This year, however, Mr. Salisbury seta brilliant example to the breeders in the State, and the Pleasaoton Stock Farm's exhibit in Tuesday's parade was the feature; everyone taking pariicular interest in it. LaBt year Director was awarded the gold medal, and Tuesday he was led down the line at the head of the Pleasanton entries. Following him came the grand little borse Direct, then California's pride Margaret S, Directa, Cnrreotor, Decorator, a bay yearling filly by Director, out of Roxana"by Gibraltar from May Day dam of Margaret S, a black yearling filly by Direotor" from Belle Echo, and four royal brood mares with foals, Belle Ec- ho with a dashing colt by Director, at her side; Crookett by Overland dam Nell Crockett, followed by a black filly by tbe iron horsejJRoxano, a half sister to tbe Peerless, Margaret S with a brown Director filly, and Misfortune by Monroe Chief dam by American Star with a racy looking, black, Director filly, and last, but not least in the pnblic estimation, a bay rilly foal full sister to Margaret S. The foal had been weaned and was brought up alone. Mr. Hancock's mare Zephyr by Nutwood, dam by St. Clair was shown with Director's family and she has a grand bay colt by Direotor. In addition to the above Mr. Salisbury exhibited Cricket, who after a phenom- enal Eastern campaign came tack with a record of 2:10 pao- ing, and Homestead who has been almost invincible in Mon- tana and Oregon this season. He is by Gibraltar, from a Yolqpteer mare, aod was bred by Mr. Salisbury. 1890 %\it fgrjejeto and MyoxUxtmn. 259 TUEF AND TRACK The Buffalo papers give "Pa" Hamlin a terrible roasting in connection with the Grand Circnit trotting at Buffalo. The Baltimore trotter St. Elmo made a mile in the free-for- all at TiiLoiiinrn half-mile track in 2:24}, the fastest mile ev- er made on the track. Wonder if it is the pnrpose to "ring" Majolica in Germa- ny. He is no account anywhere at any time and has not been since he made his record. FraDk Work's valuable Wilkes colt, for which he paid $10, 000 last spring, was put to death Sept. 4th. It was found that he could not live, having been internally injured while being driven three weeks ago. It has been rumored around the track at Sbeepshead Bay that Al Farrow was to be sold for $10,000, and that Green Morris would be the purchaser. While the story has not been confirmed, it is said on good authority that Al Farrow will change hands before this week is over. Old Pearl Jennings won a tine race last Wednesday a week ago, defeating Steve Jerome and other good ones. The old mare is in hoe form and if she takes it into her head to ran she can make the best of them stretch their necks. At Maple Ave. driving Park on Sept. 8th at Elmira N* Y. the world's record for high jumping was broken by the horse Koseberry, owned by Moorehouse & Pepper of Toronto, who cleared the bars at 7 feet and 5-8 of an inch. The bsst pre- vious record, also made by Koseberry at Chicago, was 6 feet 114; inches. Many thousand persons witnessed the feat. Jockeys are inscrutable institutions, says the Sportsman. The best of them ride like artists on Monday and like farm- ers on Tuesday. On Wednesday they are suspended and on Thursday we find them reinstated. On Friday they are gen- erally drunk, in consequence of which on Saturday they ride without vigor, being weak from "reducing." What jockeys do on Sundaythe Lord only knows. W. C. Daly, who has the reputation of bulldozing owners who win selling races by threatening to run them up over their entered selling price unless given a little hush money, beiDg refused §200 by Jimmy MoCormick, when the latter's Firelly won at Brighton last week, bid the horseup to S10SO, at wnich figure McCormick retained him. At Sbeepshead on Monday, Daly's Drumstick, entered at $1000, won a selling race, and when put up at anction McCormick turned the tables en the old man by making him pay $2,625 to return him to his stable. A few more such doses as this and W. C. will not be so anxious to bid up other people's horses. The claim made by some reasoners that a slightly undu- lating track is faster than a dead level may be as erroneous as the claim for the alleged muscle-resting turns, siys the Horse and Siable. It is argued that the slight up and down grades rest the muscles, and in support of the claim it is said that a horse can make a long journey easier and quicker over a slightly hilly country than over a dead level. But even if that be admitted, it does not prove that a one mile dash must necessarily be undulating to be the fastest. We believe that the fastest possible mile track that could be built would be a perfectly straight, marble-smooth course, of a slightly — Very slightly — inclining grade from start to finish. A dispatch from Michigan says that the committee appointed by the Methodist Episcopal conference to investi- i gate the Pastor Arney horse racing case reported on the 12th inst. Arney, quite at variance with his threats, confessed to having committed an imDrudent act when he participated in the horse race. He sincerely regretted the notoriety caused by the transaction. He kept horses for personal pleasure and exercise, and the possibility of premiums and prob"t3 by their sale after being properly trained. He added that as Jong as he lives he will never again engage in horse racing. The conference accepted the report and the charges against Arney's character were allowed to pass. The season of 1S79 eaws perhaps the most bitter contest between the three-year olds, Jewett and Steinway, that ever oame off in Kentucky, says the Graphic. So warm did the battle wage to this day in some quarters the bitter feelings engendered by the meetings of tnese great colls, have even not as yet died out. Jewett proved the final victor and took a mark of 2;29£, which he reduced afterwards to 2:20. Pac- ing, however, proved his forte, and at this way of going he now holds a record of 2:14. Steinway got a record that year of 2 £5$, which is still his best mark. Jewett turned to pac- ing, and it is odd of his great rival had he remained on the torf, as the fast performer of note to spring forth from his loins is the fiying mare Cricket 2:12. The steamer Helvetia, which sailed from England August 21st, had on board the following horses for Marcus Daly'6 ranch at Anaconda, Mont.: Erin-Go Bragh, a son of Magi- oian (bv The Flying Dutchman), dam Eugenie by Zuyder Zee; second dam Helia by Phlegon; third dam Poteatas by Plenipotentiary, foaled 1880; La Trappe (dam of Barmecide), by Hermit, dam Ambuscade by Camerino; second dam Cross- fire by Vedette; thiid dam Crosslanes by Slane, foaled 1831: and Bed Spinner, bay mare, by Rosicrucian, dam Reaction hy King Tom; second dam Waterwitoh by The Flying Dutch- man; third dam Evening Star by Touchstone, foaled 1879. This consignment is ftomKingsclerc, and comes out in charge of Thomas Cartwrigbt, formerly head man to John Porter. Bed Spinner has a foal at foot by Springfield, sire of Sainfoin. The value of the race track as a means of improving the ;ait and developing the speed of horses and, in direct ratio Doreasing the revenue of the districts where they are located, s illustrated by an article in a horse paper published in Can- on, Me. "Previous to the opening of the track atCantun," ays the article, "we had in town only two horses with lec- ds, viz : Goldbird, 2:50, and Rear Guard, 2:50, Now may -j Been any day taking exercise a large number of trotters irith records in the thirties, and some in the twenties. We ave had Maggie Miller. 2:26$ ; Elcho, 2:35; Nellie B., 2:39$; E S. P., 2:45$, and Louviska, three-year-old record, 2:51$, nd it has been estimated that the increased value of the __ove animals, or rather the price they would bring in the market to-day over what they would have brought had there , been no track here and their speed consequently undevel- oped, would pay every dollar that the track and improve- ments have cost." Jacob Dalton and William Booth, stable boyBin the employ of J. & A. H. Morris, were arrested in Jersey City last Thursday on a charge of grand larceny. When trainer Wyndham Wal- den went to the stable at Sheepshead Bay, Dalton and Booth were missing. So were two of the tirm:s crack two-year-olds. The boys had been talking of going to Gloucester, N. J , and the trainer suspected that they had started for that place with the horses. He Bent word to police headquaiters in Jersey City and the boys were arrested at the Pennsylvania railroad station. Sure enough they were on their way to Gloucester, and the horses had been put on a train to be shipped to that point. The boys said they thought they would have a •'cinch" with the two Morris cracks at Gloucester, and in- tended to enter the races unknown to their owners and to win a stake for themselves. Trainer Walden took the boys and colts back to Sbeepshead Bay. He declined to make any charges against the lads. War has been declared on the Louisville pool rooms says the Times Democrat of the third, and an effort will be made to close them up under the gambling law. This afternoon witnesses were subpeenaed, and it is believed that on their testimony the grand jury will indict the pool room people. There are five or six pool rooms in this city, and the proprie- tors are well known people, such as Joe Burt, who operates the room on Third street; A. M. Waddell, the Conrlier Bros., and Major Ed. Hughes, Chief of the Fire Department. There are said to be a number of politicians interisted in the pool rooms, and their arrest and prosecution under the act will probably create a sensation. It is contended by the prosecutor that the matter of selling pools on horse races is just as much gambling under the law as setting up a game of faro or keno, and is certainly, more vicious, because everybody is allowed to play — rich and poor, the drunk and the sober — in brief, any man with fifty cents or a dollar, no matter what his condition. The Louis- ville pool rooms practically control pool room operations all over the country. They are fixtures here, and in palmy years the turf exchange has done $6,01)0,000 worth of business in a season. The closing of these establishments v,-ill be a blow at horse racing in Kentucky. The following bit of turf history is from the Oregonian: Mollie Cooper was bred in Iowa. She was sired by an English thoroughbred runner, and out of a mare that had a record of 50 seconds for a half mile run. Mollie 1b 8 years old now, and as a 3-year-old she got a record of 49 1 in a half mile running race. The next >ear she was converted into a pacer, and in 18S6 received a mark of 2:29}. This she never lowered until at Seattle this year when sne made a mile in 2:28i- Last spring when Mr. Davis took her, she could not do better than 2:40, as she was io indifferent bands. She has, under his own charge, since gone in five races. In the first one she met Kosie C. and Sleepytown, and Rosie C. won, Mollie getting third place in every heat. The next race Mr. Davis always felt sore about, as Mink, he claims, won by running in the fifth heat. Mink won the first in 2:26J, back in 2:24. Mollie took the nest two in 2:30 and 2:33 and Mink the last in 2:29$. This was at the Tacoaoa July meeting. From there she went to Seattle and started against Rosie C. and Harry T., where she was a close third in every heat. The nest day she won in three straight heats and got her mark in 2:2S£.. Then Mr. Davis took her to Tacoma, where she had an easy time of it, the pace there not tilling. Mr. Stone is a rich man. He does not care for the money he won, but hat a pride in his mare and loves to see her beat the others. It is a fact that oeeacionally a great performer will come from an obscure source. In the multitude of breeding ven- tures that are yearly being made this should not excite won- der. Indeed, it would be a matter of surprise if it were not so. It not frequently happens that "a little leaven leavanetb the whole loaf." Some farmer trades for or buys a mare of whose pedigree he knows nothing, and the party of whom he gets her is just as iguorant of her ancestry. She is bred to a horse that has more or less trotting blood in his veins, and everybody is astonished that the produce turns out to be a great trotter. A daughter of George Wilkes was bought out of a farm wagon, the farmer being entirely ignorant of her pedigTee. Had this mare been bred by the man in whose possession she was found and produced a great trotter the fact would have been heralded as an instance of a trotter without a pedigree. Aside from this, there are doubtless untried strains of blood that are liable in certain combinations to produce a trotter at any time,arid that with cultivation might equal in time some of the best established families. Life is too Bhort to be ex- perimenting with them, however. It is the part of wisdom to stick to what we and everybody else knows to be good, rather than to "court failure into the unknown." While an occasional great trotter comes from an obscure family, the student of pedigrees will be struck with the fact that the great stream of trotters pours from sources in which the trot- ting gait and trotting instinct are the predominant ele- ments. The following is a list of entries in the races for the com- ing fair at Rohnerville, received by Secretary Underwood up to noon Tuesday. No. 1, running— Davis & Crippen enters Nellie D.; W.

Simmocolon, by Simmons 2:28 dam Colon by Strathmore, 2d dam Coral (dam of Corraloid 2:254), by Clark Chief, 2d dam Cassia (dam of Caliban), is probaoly the greatest trotting five-year-old stallion that has yet appeared, says the Western Sportsman. He has been an all summer camDaigner, a great winner, and has indulged in a lowering of his record with persistent regularity. He started in at Dundee Park June 5th, where he won, reducing his record to 2:23}. He then started in the Clay Stakes, which he lost; then at Boston he won, and also at Hartford. At Philadephia he won after a long hard tight in a race of eight heats. At Pittsburg the following week he won a five-beat race, repeating the same thing the next week at Cleveland, where he drove Dick Smith out in 2:17, and won the next heat in 2:19, being the first of Simmon's get to enter the 2:20 list. At Buffalo in a long drawn out race of nine heats be won third money. At Rochester he won another hard race of six heats. At Fough- keepsie he rested, only to turn up fresh at Hartford and win the great Flower City Stakes in one or the hardest races of the season. In all he has trotted something like sixty-six heats this season with an average of a little better than 2:25. Here is the kind of trottiDg stallion to have, one with breed- ing, good individuality, speed and lasting qualities. There seems to be no lack of speed sustaining qualities in this fel- low, and well may his owner, G. "Valensin of Valensin Stock Farm, Pleasanton, Cal., be proud of such a stallion as Simo- colon. What a stock horse he should, by all courses of reasoning, prove to be, and what record breakers should come from tne loins of Simocolon wnen mated with Sidney mares. The thousands who viBited Belmont Park on lhursday witnessed two phenomenally fast miles, but were not treated to what they went to see. No records were broken, al- though Palo Alto came within a quarter of a second of his own record and within half a second of the world's stallion. Sunol trotted in 2:1 If, making a break which was a remark- able performance. The horses were given but one trial. There was some dissatisfaction expressed that Palo Alto was not sent again, as the track was in fine condition and the day everything that could ba desired for fast time. The time of Jay-Eye-See, 2:11. over the same track remains un- touched, while that of Maud S., 2:12, was beaten by Sunol. It was noticed that Sunol was tired at the end of the mile, while Palo Alto wag i not in the least distressed. The frac- tional parts of the mile of Sunol were made aa follows: quarter, 30^s; half, 1:04$; three-quarters, 1:38$; mile, 2:11J. The whip was used from the distance post home, though not severely. The opinion was freely expressed that the mare was driven off her feet and that Marvin used poor judgment in sending her so fast to the half. The affair was a disap- pointment in that the lime made previously by Jay-Eye-See and Maud S. was not beaten. It is highly probable that there will be no more record breaking on the part of these horses this season. The season wanes apace and the work already received begins to tell. — Newark Sunday Call. Joseph Battell, of Vermont, the indefatigable searcher after truths in trotting pedigrees, infofmed the writer a few days ago that after laborious research he had about succeeded in establishing what he believes to be the true pedigree of Harold on his dam's side. The pedigree of the sire of the queen of the turf, Maud S., 2:0S|, reads in the stud books as follows: "Harold 413, foaled 1864 by Hambletonian 10, dam Enchan- tress by Abdallah 1." Mr. Battell has had for years well grounded suspicions that this pedigree, or at least one-half of it, was not correct, and he is now prepared to come before the public with the statement backed up by evidence which he considers indisputable, that the dam of Harold was not by Abdallah 1, but by the imported horse Fiddler, a thorough- bred. He related to the writer the evidence which he has in his possession to support his claim, and it must be admitted that he makes out a very strong case. In a short lime he intends to lay the matter in detail before the public in the columns of the Middiebury, Vt., Register. Mr. Battell is still working industriously on his Morgan history, and ex- pects it will be placed in the printer's hands the coming winter. The volume will be of about the same size as the first volume of Chester's Trotting and Pacing Record, which comprises nearly 1,000 pages, and will be accompanied by a smaller volume containing a complete list of the names and pedigrees of all 2:30 performers up to date. The Morgan register is also progressing finely, and editions will be issued from time to time when the material is sufficient. — Mirror and Farmer. The name of Nancy Hanks will doubtless strike some readers as peculiar. There are two theories as to the origin of her name afloat here, says a Lexington correspondent in the New Orleans Democrat. One is that she was named after President Lincoln's mother, who rejoiced in the un- enpboneous appellative of "Nancy Hanks," while the other story has a spice of romance in it. A Kentucky lady, born and bred and bred in one of the oldest and most distinguished families of the Blue Grass region, tells the story as her mother handed it down to her, and she is of opinion thas thi filly's name was taken from this story, as it is familiar to all the old families: "About six miles out on the Rassei Cave pike stands a honse that must be more than a hundred years old. It is built partly of logs and partly of timbers, hoary and grizzled with age, and it looks to be tield together by two huge black throated chimneys that buttress it at either end more outside than inside the house. Fifty years ago my mother says that house looked almost as grizzled as lonesome and as dilapi- dated as it does now. It had the same black and twisted shingles on the roof and the great chimneys outside of the gables looked just a hoary and weather-beaten as they do now. The house had long been unoccupied and there came a family and lived io it. There were a mother, two grown up sons and a sweet faced pretty girl of eighteen who was called Nancy. This family had a name whioh was known well enough in the neighborhood, but my mother had for- gotten it long before she ever told me tbe story. The family were proud and had little to say to their neighbors, the elder four being all alike in this respect, but the girl Nancy used to delight in being sociable and neighborly and was liked by everybody. She fell in love with a neighbor's son, but her parents and brothers would not countenance such an attach- ment and the match was broken off. A few weeks later Nancy, who had been completely crushed at the loss of her young lover, was found dead in the attic of the old house. She had hastily knotted a rope out of the hanks of yarn stored in the garret and had hanged herself at one of the rafters." The snicide created a profound impression at tbe time, and two or three sentimental rustics of the time framed the story into halting verse, but through some strange perversity the name of tbe fair snicide has been handed down to pos- terity as Nancy "Hanks." the surname being simply supplied by tbe grim and uncanny manner of her takiug off. 260 J!to> %xzt&tx uutl §&ptitt$nmvu Sept. 20 ANNUAL EXPOSITION —OF THE— Sixth District AGRICULT'L ASSOC'N , IV ill be held at LOS ANGELES, October 14th. 15th, 16th, 17th and 18 th. 1890.

The Bear Said "Woof," "Tenderfoot," iD a communication to the "Forest and Stream," says: "Monument is a small village about sixty miles south of Denver and twenty miles north of Colorado Springs. It is located on the main lines of four or tive railroads running from this city to Denver. The adjacent oountry is oalled "The Divide," and is devoted mainly to the raisins of very tine potatoes, wheat, oats, barley, etc. "West of the village the country is mountaiuoas. generally well timbered, and at the proper season of the year HaokberrieB, raspberries and choke cherries abound in luxuriont profusion. Of these fruits bears are very fond, and during this season are re- ported unusually plentiful in the immediate neighborhood of these fruit patches, retiring when pursued to the rocky fast- nesses in the direction of Pike's Peak. A short time ago a fresh and callow youth from this city, in company w'th a friend, was climbing the mountains a few miles west of the village on their way to Young's tie camp. The wagon was some distance behind, they having walked on ahead enjoying the bracing mountain air. But the road was rough and steep, and as they neared the top of the ascent the young man from the city was nearly winded. He was toiling painfully along with hat in hand and ooat over his arm when a sudden stir in the leaves and a startled "Woof!" caused the young men to halt abruptly and gaze fearfully around. There, within ten paces, was (to them) an enor- mous cinnamon bear just rising froaa his disturbed morning nap under a pine tree. For an instant fear and astonish- ment paralyzed all parties at the unexpected meeting. Then tho bear said "Woof!" which is probably bear language for "Good morning, gentlemen," and gazed at hia visitors with glad surprise. Tbe youths returned the compliment by Bay- iDg 'Bear!' But they did not prefix it by 'Morning, bear,' nor say it in a quiet, gentlemanly tone, such as is usually employed when meeting a stranger or a casual acquaintance in an ont of the way place. They vociferated the ursine in habitant's name with all the strength of their lungs, and then turned and took a beeline for the Atlantic coast down the mountain side, shedding coats, hats, and terrific yells at every jnmp. It waB astonishing how suddenly their weari- ness vanished, and how rapidly the bracing mountain air had invigorated their frames and imparted speed to their footsteps. The bear, looking Bomewhat disgusted at this unceremonious departure of his visitors, ambled quietly off, and was seen shortly afterward as he disappeared over tne mountain top half a mile off, in the direction of his rooky retreat . A few days after this some of the men employed at the tie camp organized a bear hont and proceeded to these rocks and caverns, where they succeeded in rounding up and killing a large cinnamon — possibly the same one encountered by the boys. A few days after these occurrences a resident of the village, wife and child were out on the mountain picking berries. As a precaution the man took his gun along. Tne child, a little girl, strayed a short distance from its parents, and came sud- denly upon a large bear, feeding upon the fruit. The child was paralyzed with terror aod could neither move nor scream. The bear seemed anxious for a closer acquaintance and had advanced quite close to ihe child, when up rose the father from a patch of bushes with his gun in hand and blood in his eye. The skin of that bear is now drying upon the fence surrounding the family mansion. The bears seen are all what is known as the cinnamon bear. They are not especially ferocious, though they make an ugly "scrap" when crowded. Trout fishing is fair in this region, though no large ones have been reported this Beason. Reports from the region of Meeker state that that section is overrun by tourists, who are slaughtering deer and elk out of season from mere wantonness. At this rate the large game of Colorado will soon be exterminated. If they want sport (with a spice of danger) let them go to Monument and try the beatB. Numerous fishing parties from this city have made excur- sions to Wagon Wheel Gap and vicinity, where the gamy trout are abundant and grow to a large Bize. If quail could be protected for several years they would soon grow abundant in this State. In several localities on the Arkansas River east of here I have heard of there being quite a number of coveys. They are moving westward, and if not relentlessly slaughtered will, in a few years, be abun- dant in our mountaim and valleys. An antelope was killed the other day in this county by H. M. Morse, a crack hunter oE this city. The shot which pro- oured the game was fired at a distance of five hundred yards, breaking two of the animal's legs. Colorado ought to be the greatest State in the Union for outing parties in the mountains. No snakes, no noxious insects, and beautiful weather about nine months in the year." French Sportsmen. Bie Bags. A correspondent of the Asian sends the following list of game killed in the Punjab: "I think your sporting readers will be elad to know that there is a native Prince well up in ehikar in this Northern part of the Punjab. During the last ten years, his own, not including his father's shikar, has comprised several royal tigers, hundreds of leopards and black bears of all sizes and thousands of wild-boar. As an example, I beg to give you an account of the bag made last month, which is not a very good month here in our Poonch State. The record is: 1st of June at Planja Forrish, two leopards and four black bears, one of which was shot by Mr. G. H. Lacy, the well known and popular honorary secretary of the aforesaid fishing club, and another by Mr. E. Dyer; 7th, at Jhullas Shikargarh, two leopards; 10th, at Canooia. one black bear, five wild-boar and two wild goats; 13th, at Jhullas again, a black bear and three wild goats; 16th, at JBhaDch Shikargarh, a wild boar and a wild goat; 20th, at Fhan Peer Mountain, one leopard, a boar and two wild goatB; 25ih, at Ghanetter Shikargarh and Gopalpnra, a leopard, two black bear and four wild goats, totalling during Ihe month half a dozen leopards, eight black beir, and a dozen wild boar, besides the wild goats.' Oar correspondent, whose signature is illegiHe, but has the ap- pearance of that of a native gentleman, then goeB on to say: "The wild animals of these hills are so troublesome that if the Prince through press of work delays shooting them, in a little time the villages surrounding the capital becomes the residence of these beasts. In Bhort, what leisure the master of this state gets from his own work he spends in shooting the wild animals, by which he confers a great boon on his subjects." Mr. J.C Nattrass of Olearbrook, Whalcom County. Wash- ington, offers for sale a hammerless gun by L. C. Smith. It is a 10 gauge, 9£ lbs, t'SO grade and a close, hard shooting arm. It is offered for about half its vbIuo and all who know the excellence of the L. C. Smith guns will agree with ua in believing that the offer is an advantageous one to any man who needs a gun. Mr. Mat trass also offers Irish setters of the finest breeding and quality, both brood bitches and pup- pies. Local sportsmen have not so far had much sport with quail. They are reported as being backward and scarce. Last winter was a hard one for quail, and many succumbed to the severe storms. In Marin County quail are numerous, but there will not be much Bjjort until we have some rain, when the birds will lie better and the dogs ha^e a show. A few wretched looking ducks are exposed for sale in the markets, but find few purchasers, as they are hardly fit for food. It is a pity to Bhoot them. In a month or so duckB will begin to come in, when we may expeot to get something edible. All the San Francisco sportsmen will be glad to hear that Bill Perkins, the veteran hunter and dog trainer, has turned up well and sound. He was reported to have been drowned and also to have been found dead in the Moraga valley. Un- cle Bill, however, says that he is worth a good many dead men and "does not intend to turn up his toes until the proper time comes. Perkins came to town to get his gun mended and also to show what a lively corpse he is. A party consisting of M. W. Stackpole, J. M. Spencer and W. H. White enjoyed four days of royal sport among the quail in Calaveras Valley last week. The birds were as plentiful as could be desired, and although young proved lively enough of wing to tax the ntmoBt skill of these well known shots to bring them to bag. During the four days no less than 190 of the little "hoodlums of the valley" suc- cumbed to the power of Sohnltz and No. 9. Of this number eight dozen were grassed in the second day ont among some ol the thickest brush and covert io the valley. Here the birds lay splendidly to the dogs and afforded fall opportun- ity for lively work at both singles and doubles. Messrs. Stackpole and Spencer for ten years past have been constant companions in the sports of field and stream, and of all their trips rank that of last week as one of the most delightful. To all theer members of the party good fellow- ship and the handling of rod and gun constitute the highest possible enjoyment. On this ocoaaion they had both in full- est measure, and now, having returned to the busy scenes of active life, all eagerly await the time and opportunity to again hie away with dog and gun to the fields or hills whioh have been the scenes of so many past enjoyments. The following graphic description of two French shooters is from the London Shooting Times: "One was a spare, little, old man, who owned a half-bred beagle, the best hare finder I have ever seen, but he never followed his game. As soon as he had put up a hare, he left it for the other dogs to hunt and went himself to look for another without farther parley. 4 most extraordinary dog, truly, and well matched by his master, if report spoke truly, for it was alleged, I know not with what truth, that although he went out every day with his gun and dog he never was known to have killed anything!" I certainly never saw bim kill a hare, although a dozen times, at least, I saw hares break covert near him and he fired at them — with the invariable result of a miss. He used to laugh himself at his want of skill and say that "doubtless it was all for the best, for if he had been as clever as I was there would not have been a hare left in the department long ago." The other sportsman was the very antithesis to that one, for he was a stout, portly party, who never went oat, on bus- iness or for sport, without two exceedingly large and very handsome bounds of some foreign breed. These two hounds were very'pictoreeqoe, and gave tongue in a deep bass which contrasted singularly with the squeaking noise made by the aforesaid roquet. Their owner, contrary to the first man, "aot very fairly; but was of a most lying and jealous dispo- tion. No matter how far he was, if he had shot at a hare, id it was eventually bagged, he had done the deed. No one se was in it. And if he happened to reach the hare before yone else, be cooly appropriated it, placed it in the net d carried it about all day thus, on his baok!" The Art of Shootiner.

Training The Trotting Horse BY CHARLES MARVIN. This great practical horse book 1b a handsome, three hundred page octavo, bound in clotb, ele- gantly printed, superbly Illustrated, and explains in every detail the remarkable success of CHARLES MARVIN and the whole plans and me- thods pursued at Palo Alto as to breaking, training, shoeing, gaitlng, driving, keeping, racing and breeding trotters. Read what J. 0. Sibley, the owner of St. Bel, says 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 reliBh for his business can take a colt as a yearling and develop to tbe highest and fullest extent that colt's capacity as a trotter. Tbe work impressed me bo strongly that I have ordered twenty copies, and Bhall place one in tbe handB of every rubber on our farm." Mailed postpaid for 93.60.

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 county roadt which runB between Oakland and Nan reim dro. The place to turn off is at Stanley Road, where a large signboard of the farm is placed Guide board * will be found at every crossroad. In any ordinary weather the roads ate very good, and thev are fairlv onnH after tbe unusually heavy rainfall of the past winter. J ° *•»■»'* si>"u AH stock eenc from san Francisco may be broughtover by Garcia's Express, No 3 Market street San Francisco. They also have an order box outside of Hawley Bros.' Hardware house on the comer of Market and Beale streets. The express leaves San Franeiaco on tbe Creek route boat, which starts at i-3t but all orders Bhould be mthe order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office No' 3 'Market Btreet, 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 cnaree will ho made in such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred. BV uv Horses are very easily taken from Oakland to the farm, and where it is inconvenient for owners to bring them or send them, the (arm will send after anything that is to come. Horses can be shipped by 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 stck on arrival The railroad station is but two miles from tbe Souther Farm, and the agent invariablv gives immediate notice of the arrival of any stock consigned to the above farm, but when word is sent to 1h > farm in good season by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hours in theear. ™™« Passenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gauge ferrv) and First „i. 1 Broadway Oakland at frequent Intervals during the day. There are several trains from San Jose to San Leandro on both the broad and narrow gauge railroads; the broad gauge, by way of Niles, is much more convenient f jr getinc to the farm. There are trains each day from Sacramento. Stockton andLivermore to San Leandro In ordi- nary weather it is a Bhort 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 tbe station. If you do not recognize the farm conveyance auk the stage driver, who will point it out. J D Write to tlie above address for references, circulars and price lists Terms reasonable.

Drouth more or le local, and varying In intensity, has prevailed in the Ot valley and in the states west of the Mississippi river. some districts alternations of parching drouth and (I cessive rain-fall have been experienced, baking the grout inducing excessive growth, and then scalding the vines, ai I the good prospect of a month ago has been succeeded by depressing outlook. Condition in the states lying east of the Alleghany moo tains from Maine to Georgia has been well maintained, ai.J is now qnite generally good. The season has been faviU able, and blight, rot and insect entniiea are but rarely an iioned. The prospect is especially favorable in northe New England, New York, New Jersey snd Penns}lvat.j where the averages differ little from those at the same di last year, though in portions of the middle states the c: has suffered somewhat from drouth. The average condition of the crop of the whole count'l has fallen on*' 14 3 points during the month, and now starH at 77.4. Such a decline in one month is unprecedented, a illustrates the disaster which has overtaken the crop ove large district. The ooly approach to the present depreet j prospect was in 1887, when the average declined from 9: in July to 80 0 in August and 61.5 at time of harvest, tl average yield per acre being only about 57 bushels. While, as a rule, slight decline is reported in nearly eve section of the country, the main damage has been wrong in the states lying within the water-shed of the Mississij river and its tributaries north of Tennessee and Arkansi i The falling off in some of these states is very heavy, all present conditions indicate a comparative failure of the OH Kentucky retnrns only 50, a falling off of 37 points duri the month of July; Ohio 56. a loss of 32 points; Illinoio : a loss of 50 points; Missouri 53, a loss of 32 points; Iowa ! a loss of 21 points; Kansas 55, a loss of 26 points, and 1 braska 50, a loss of 35 points.

Some of the agricultural editors are getting to be aim &b wise as Solomon, who declared that "there is nothing n under the sun." They are declaring that newspaper writ* repeat themselves and sell essentially the same matter, different forms, to different papers. If they will exann into the matter, they will find tbat the nnmber of ideas the world are limited, and that these are repeated over a over again in somewhat varied form. It is only now a then that a really original idea is born. We are still cool * eating, and washing dishes. To onr certain knowledge are discussing to-day the same old questions that were c cussed twenty-five and thirty years ago — such as deep a shallow plowing, spring and fall plowing, early and late e ting of hay, how to breed and how to feed, and soon throi all the topics of the day. They are like the bits of glass kaleidoscope which present a new arrangement every tii they are moved. The fellow who can conjure up the striking combinations is the cleverest writer Then what the nse of all this writing and publishing? Because generations are constantly coming on, and the wav-baok fi met is not yet aware of the little progress that has made. We must give "line upon line and precept preoept." We have new text books, but the same alp! bet and the same numerals, etc., are the foundation them. The pulpit is still pounding away on the old and the papers of all kinds, and the writers of them keep "placing it before the people" and follow the ft of the times — no matter if they do change aronnd and themselves at intervals. Publishers might do as we hs known to be done, go back eight or ten years and cut or inal matter from their tiles! It does not follow that an ic is original because it is new to the writer or to the one tl reads it. — Mirror and Farm. ation I topi fashic d rep« 1890 %\it f^xtztltv and gpovtsmm. 271 A GROUP OF POLLED ANGUS CATTLE.

I According to Boussingault, Bheep mannre is nearly tnree mes as valuable as ordinary barnyard manure. The exact f goreB are 300 for sheep to 108 for bardyard manure. This °a powerful argument for keeping sbeep on rooky farms. \ The odor in stables can easily be kept down by due fore- lougbt and attention. Sifted coal ashes, road dust, dry inek, saw dust, land plaster, German potash salts (com- mercially known as Kainite) sand, chaff and many other ar- cIcb are serviceable for this purpose. It is not a waste of me to doit either, but there is rank waste in neglecting it- Fancy farmers who take the word of their herdsmen in ; dlb and batter tests, are liable to be deceived sometimes, he herdsman increases his importance by makingoat a good .ory. The fancy farmer had better look after details him- jlf and not be credulous. Given every other oondition, fed and watered regularly, the lousy hen will pale and sicken, and dishearten her owner. If she has a good dry place to roost, and ample dust to swallow in and a sheltered corner to stretch out and bask in the sunshine after her dust bath, she will have afresh and healthy look and Uy well, unless there be the regular annual drain upon her system— moulting. For a moulting hen lays but few eggs, and presents a dried, shrivelled and ragged appearance under any circumstances. A Source of Loss. Lice are a source of loss to the poultry-keeper who permits iem to exist on his fowls, or about their quarters. A hen that is bothered with these pests can not and will ot lay enough to pay for her keep. In a state of nature, wild birds and fowls of all kinds are ■6e of lice— excepting those that are disabled from accident 'r disease, and therefore unable to apply natures remedy for ce — the dust bath. 1 Dost is nature's antidote and only remedy for lice, so far ; i relates to the feathered tribe. ! Wild birdB seek the dust as regular as they seek food and 'rink, and by means of it they keep their feathers free of I ue, aod in good condition. ' Oar domestio fowl3 are just as fond of dust, and under- and the necessity of its application just aB much as the ' ild creatureB do. But, it is often the case that our fowls 1 re so confined as to have no access to dust and a good wal- I iwiDg place. 1 It is a common error with the new beginners with tine liwls, to give them a fine hen-house, and sometimes ample •vrd room, but to neglect the most important item of all— ' 16 dust bath. Hens that have no access to dust soon become nervous id irritable in their action p, and to peck and pull at their wu feathers and the feathers of each otber. Deprived of OBt for a considerable time they become feverish, their >mbs dwarf and turn pale, and they lose rapidly in flesh. ' i thi6 condition they of course do not lay, and henoe the resenoe of lice about them become a source of loss . Bone Pertilizars. A correspondent at "West field. Wash., writes: **I have many tons of bones on hand Which is the cheape-t way to utilize them for fertil zers? Lime sells at fifty cen's per bushel." It is useless to attempt decomposing the bones with snlphuric acid, as that chemical is too dangerous to handle for that purpose. The making of '"superphosphate" should be left to fertilizer manufacturers. Storer, in his "Agriculture," gives the tolluwing: Engelhardt procured 4,000 lbs. of bones, 4.000 lbs. of wood ashes, 600 lbs. of quicklime and 4,500 lbs. of water. He dug a couple of trenches two feet deep and lined them with boards, and having .slaked the lime with a part of the water, mixed the powdery product with the ashes. Into one of the trenches he put half the bunea layer by layer with the mix- ture of lime and ashes, taking care to wet the material. The mixture was left to itself, witn occasional moistenings, until the bones had become so soft that they oould be rubbed down between the fiugers. Three thousand six hundred pounds of water were UBed in this trench besides that employed for slacking the lime. When the contents of the first trench had become Boft they were spread, layer by layer, in the second trench with the remaining 2,000 lbs. of fresh boneB, and the whole was well worked together and then left to ferment until the bones were softened. The mass was then shoveled out and mixed with 4.000 lbs. of dry loam or peat to make it manageable." Bones are sometimes softened by placing wood ashes and bones in alternate layers, about six inches of each, and satur- ating with water. Such a fertilizer as this will have a high value. The Cornstalks Resource - Perhaps in no other point were farmerB of the last genera- tion bo wasteful as in neglect of corn stalks. When I was a boy not one acre in a hundred was saved, but the corn waB husked and the cattle turned out and left in the fields, throogh all kinds of weather, till the husks were picked off, generally about midwinter; then until spring they Btarved at the strawstacks, and finally went to tbe pasture so poor they could scarcely walk, and often died from weakness. Farmers are still found who waste part of their fodder, but many have learned that it is exceedingly valuable. A lady farmer, whose deceased husband left her with an established business of breeding Shorthorn cattle, and who has successfully carried on the work, told me her estimation of corn fodder had in- creased with each year of its use; that she finds it worth near- ly as mnch to her as the grain. She has not fed a pound of hay in Beveral winters; haa wintered thirty-five head of Shorthorn cattle, eight brood ruarea and forty «heep with no otber rough feed than the fodder from fifteen acres of corn. Her land is rich bottom, she grows a large variety of corn, runB all tbe stalks through a cutter, and then feeds it as a chop, with bran and wheat mixed with cut fodder, and she says even the coarse buttB are eaten. Her fifteen acres of fod- der, cut up suffice to feed each cow and horse a tobacco-buc- ketful of the cut stover three times a day and of this with a sufficient grain ration, the stock did better, she thought than on hay. This fodder was, however, put in ihe barn in the fall, when bright and dry; and if it had been fed ou the ground in mud, snow, rain and cold, as I saw thousands of cat le fed last winter, they would have been spring-poor and their owners complaining that farmirjg don't pay. — Waldo F. Brown, in New York Tribune. Standard for Grading: Grain. This is a matter of considerable interest to all agriculturists who have grain to sell, and indeed to all who have to buy grain or its products — for wuh fixed grades for grain the dour or meal from it should correspond, and therefore all consumers are interested in having breadstuffs properly graded according to some fixed and just standard. Tbe House Committee on Agriculture has reported for this purpose a bill which provides that tbe secretary of agriculture "shall establish a standard for classifying and grading grains," which will in its judgment ''best subserve the interest of the public in the conduct of interstate and foreign trade and commerce in grain." Something of this sort seems desirable; but, in our view of the matter, the best thing that can be done would be to declare that a certain number of cubic in- ches of wheat, weighing a certain number of pounds, shall always have tbe same grade, and the same with other graios, the number of grades to be sufficient to cover the different acknowledged qualities.

Sept. 2T FRESNO COUNTY. FROM WASTE TO LUXURIANCE-FROM CATTLE RANCHES TO CEREALS, VINEYARDS, FRUITS, RAIdlNS, AND WEALTH. Fresno County is among the remarkable counties of Cali- fornia The most noted o( the regions and counties which became widest known in the < arly period of the American possession, on account of their great wealth of golr>, are now outstripped in the more enduring rivalry which is perennially enriching the earth by its prodocts to the better uses and broader benefit to all mankind, by the regions which at that early period were unknown, except as vast wastes of oonntry that were considered only as deserts, incapable of cultivation or of profitable occupation. At the Spanish Missions of the ooast, nothing was known of the enormous expanse of conn- try which extended eastward from the summit of the Coast Eange of mountains, westward to the great peakB of the Sierra Nevada, with its rivers and lakes and tributary streams; its vast plains and innumerable hills; its immense forests of the most gigantio growth found in all the world; its deposits of minerals that exceed in quantity and variety any now known in any other portion of the globe, and all of incalculable value and inexhaustible in product; and its exceeding pro- ductiveness of soil without parallel upon the face of the earth, in its adaptation to the plants and fruils of every clime, from which the sustenance and enjoyment of every people are derived and the commerce between all nations is sustained. It was only from the Indians who wandered or were brought to the Missions and became neophytes to the holy faith of the Fathers that information whatever was obtained of this vast region; but no exploration of it was ever undertaken until the discovery of gold had lured parties of emigrants from the other side of the continent to the strange land of California in eager quest for the precious metal. The emi- grants who came into the Territory by the most southern routes and through Mexico, were the earliest explorers of the vast region which extends from the Tehachipa divide north- ward to the valley of the San Joaquin, and is already known as the Garden of California, as the granary of the world. In the midBt of this expansive region of unparalled afflu- ence of soil, of magnificence of forest growth, and of incal- culable wealth of minerals harely yet in process of develop- ment, is the county of Fresno, now possessing the proud rank of peerleBB distinguishment amorg the counties of the valley, occupying in it central position, and destined to become the most attiactive, the most populous and the mos' prosperous, as it will be the richest of the interior counties of California. With an area greater than that of Connecticut, Ehode Island and Delaware combined— one hundred and fifty miles from east to west and sixty-five miles from north to south, with its 10,000 square miles— Fresno contains 4,000 square miles of bill and valley land of surpassing fertility, in which are produced luxuriant fields of grain and grasses, orchards of the fruits of the Temoerate zone and of semi- tropical nature, vineyards of wine and raisin and table grapes, every variety of vegetables and roots and berries; many ever- greens and deciduous trees, alike ornamental and uBelul, are indigenous; and exotic growths of forettand field and garden thrive as in their native climes and soils. Within its moun- tain border, to the west, are some of the loftiest peakB of the Coast Kange, and its eastern boundary on the Sierias encom- passes the towering summits of Mounts Gardner, Brewer and Abbott, with allitndescf from 12,000 to 14,000 feet, besides other peaks above 8,000 feet. Upon the Sierras, from their tops of eternal Bnow, flow the head-waters of the Chowchilla and Fresno and King's rivers, the great tributaries of the San Joaquin, the principal river of the southern portion of Cali- fornia, which likewise had its fountain head in the Sierras of the Fresno county embiacement, and is navigable for. bun. dreds of miles of its tortuous route to its own final disem. boguement into the bay above Suisun. Of the valley lands, of exceeding rioh soil adapted to the cultivation of fruits and vines, are nearly one million and a quarter acres already applied to these products, of whioh 1-resno township is the central portion. Other towns of the county are Selnia, Madeia, Sanger, Beienca, Fowler, Borden, Herndon, Centerville, Areola, Chowchilla, Millerton, Syca- more, Panoche. Big Sandy, Fancher, Mill Creek, Orange, Liberty, Fair View, Washington, Duke, Danllon, Kingsbury, Mississippi, Kingston, New Idria, Hnzeltun, Webster, Clark's Valley, Cherry Hill, Pleasant Valley, Mecbanicsville, Mendo- cino, Aubrey Valley, Hill's Valley. Substantial bridges, of iron and of wood, span the rivers and tributary streamB for public travel, besides the railroad bridgeB. The Southern Paoific railroad line passes directly throogh the country, affording transportation overland and to Ban Francisco, con- necting with the State system of railways and other roadB overland, and within the coming year the Atohison, Topeka and Sania Fe road will be extended from its present southern terminus northward to San Francisoo or to tide-water on the bay. It can be confidently predioted that, beside?, a road will be built from the base of the Sierias to an eligible port of the PaciHo between Los ADgeles and Santa Barbara. The neoesBity oi such a road is every year becoming more urgent, to afford transportation and promote the development of the untold wealth of the mountain region in the precious and useful metals— gold, silver, quicksilver, copper ar,d iron— and oi minerals and martle, of petroleum, and kindred pro- ducts. The immense forests of giant sequoias, also of the largest and the best Bpecies of white and sugar pine for lum- bering, and of other varieties of valuable timber, will alone furnish constant and lucrative freight from the mountains to the coast, and to theBe will be added the increasing quanti- ties of metals and ores, of minerals and quarried produots, in the procurement of which thousands of men will be required, and hundreds of mills will be erected and put in operation. The aggregation of population and wealth to flow from the augmentation of industries and improvements incident to the better development of Fresno county can be logically consid- ered from the data of the past. Twenty years ago, Fresno county contained an insignificant number of inhabitants, and barely a church or a school house. There were very few farmers, and only the primitive methods of transportation, with merely local marketing facilities. The only industries were the grazing of horses, cattle and sheep, and the raising of hogs for driving to the distant markets of the lower San Joaquin at points favored with navigation. The advent of the railroad changed and improved the condition of things. Fresno City was planted, and in_a .few years the plant grew from the ranch of cattle, sheep and hogs, to the smart trading centre to which the two or three enterprising merchants had come and located— chief among them the pioneer firms of this day, Kutner & Goldstein and Louie Einstein & Co. Fresno Continued the principal trading center— aB it is now— but along the line of the railroad other towns were similarly planted, and to each of them has steadily flowed a good measure of trade and fair degree of prosperity. These flour- ishing settlements attracted immigration, and brought the adventurous and enterprising and industrious from every portion of the State and coast— parties seeking investments, merchants, mechanics, artisans, shop-keepers and men of every class to engage in every industry. Churches and schools sprung up. Cattle ranches and sheep breeding and the breeding of hogs gradually disappeared to make way for thorough agricultural pursuits. Farms were made and great fields were planted to grain and to grass, and as the merits of alfalfa became better understood, it was made the favorite fodder for the animals essential to the farms and to Btock- men. The lailroad famished the transportation essential to the crops. The land was cheap and extremely productive. Agricultural industry expanded and the farmers prospered. Experiments were made in fruit raising. The surprising fertility of the Boil further encouraged land owners to experi- ment in vines and vineyards, and wine making was added to the general cultivation. At length a season of abundant crops and stagnated markets wrought the discovery to lilt the despondent into the contemplation of greater profit than they had before enjoyed from the better years of gladdening success. The grapes they had left to rot and waste upon their vines were found to be fair quality of raisins. It was a development of whioh the most sanguine had not dreamed- It was as the 'flowering of thistles into figs, as the plucking of grapes from thorns. It was as Biblical revelation, to raise them from the dejection of a ruined crop into the knowledge of the better means of enrichment, as the signal of the en- couraging lesBon by the cultivation of grapes for raisins as well as for wines. It was the year of brighter promise for alt th6 future, for Fresno and her people. Every year since^the bright promise of Fresno's initial year of raisins has grown brighter, and every year it contin- ues to grow From the few hundreds of population and two or three settlements of twenty years ago, Fresno county increased in I860 to many BettlementB, a few prosperous trad- ing points and a population of 9,000. Still its chief central depot and market had grown to a town of only a few hundred buildings, and a population a little more than 1,000. In 1SS0, besides, farming in FreBno county was still in its infancy, and the cultivation of fruits and grapes was merely experi- mental. The lands were held in great tracts and at low rates. Faims of less than 200 acres were considered insufficient for the purpose, and grain and hay were the principal crops The revelation of the raisin product wrought the marvellous 0hange which haB since come. Large farms entail heavy expenditure in the management, and acquire the employment of many hands and of muoh machinery. Vineyards for wine making, likewise more acre- age, help and expense than many can afford. Vineyards of forty acies, of twenty acres, and of ten acres, are sufficient for the fair support of a family. Beyond the family little help is required. Frugality, industry and economy are taught and encouraged, and with these qualities comes contentment with the home in which Bimple comfort can be enjoyod with. out disposition to extravagance. The smaller the tracts Of land held in ownership, the larger the number that can dwell npon the soil, and the nearer lo oommunity life are its occupants for mutual and social protection and entertain- ment. The land inoreases in value, nnd the State better prospers. Where the country thrives, the towns prosper, and from these the large trading markets and financial centers gradually increase into flourishing cities and important marts to command commeros and grow in wealth. The grain farming counties of California are not the populouB or the most flourishing oounlies of the State. TheBe are to be found in the noted fruit raising, the wine-making and the raisin-produoiog counties of the interior. Santa Clara, Sacramento, Sonoma, Silano and FreBUO are in proof of this' >n contrast with the great grain prodnoing oountieB of the Bay and the Saoramento, and of the valley of the San Joa- quin. The ohange of Fresno County from a grain prodnoiDg county exclusively to the position Bhe oooupies of a princi. pie raisin and considerable fruit producing oounty, is muoh attributable the extraordinary ohange in the condition of ; OB ■ : Fresno since 1880. At that time her population was onli little more than 9,000. It is now, acoording to the oensus, above 30,000— an increase of nearly 22,000 within decade; an increase much beyond the leading two conn of the census distriot in which Fresno has place and far, - far beyond any other of the nine other counties in the trict. In two of the counties in fact the decrease during ten years is discouraging to contemplate. But the prosperity and advancement of Fresno is not wholly attributed to this ohange in cultivation and i The chief essential to this ohanged condition came thro the material blessed agency of water to supply the thii parched soil. Irrigation was the figurative golden key which the abundant treasures of the earth were broi forth. The Almighty Provider has furnished to the valley of Fresno an amplitude of coursing, flowing l Her four rivers, the Chowchilla, the Fresno, King's Rivar the San Joaquin, fresh and pure from their never-f»' fountains in the perennial snows of the mighty Sierras, ried abundant streams thence through the country and ward to the Bay, which i9 a feeder and an arm of insati ocean.

Upm the failn these idle prayers the people made effort on their ownao and triumphed, as they were bound to do.

Budd Doble, with his wide ex- le in such matters, setected Fresno Fair Grounds last fit for the care of his valuable horses, and those com- itt to hia charge, and in the spring he started eastward tbiem all in prime condition.

The whole building is amply ligh'ed with great windows above and below on every side. Adjacent are the sheds and stalls and pens, for farm animals of every kind; the farms and coops and * 'contraptions" for poultry, fowls, and every species of the domestic creation. In all the ap- pointments of our Agricultural Fair, up to the advanced con- dition of the agriculturists of the country, the FreBno Fair Grounds are up to the best examples. There is still more to add in reference to the excellence of the Grounds in another and kindred relation. The stables especially built for the accommodation of horses with their trainers, grooms, handlers, riders, drivers, and others, are superior to almost any others in the State, in plan, structure, famishment, space, comfort, food and water, and other im- portant accessions. The care and condition of the horse has evidently been the mindful study and consideration of the owners and managers of the Grounds. It is difficult to sug- gest improvement upon what has been done bo very well. Frank B Baldwin, the veteran turfman, is the Superin- tendent for the Company and manager of the fair, the track and grounds. He has successfully and for many yipars man- aged race tracks and superintended Agricultural Fairs and similar exhibitions in the States eastward— "New York, Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Illinois, and in California. He has vis- ited England and Australia and is conversant with racing methods in each country. As a breeder and trainer of horses he ranks among the foremost of the American Turf, with Marvin and Doble, with Splan and Goldsmith, with Denni- son and the chief breeders of trotters in New York and the West. Manager Baldwin planned and superintended the making of the track of the Fresno Company and the con- struction of the buildings, the ornamentation of the grounds, and the fashioning of all within. He was employed to su- perintend the track at Coronado Beach and arrange the or- der of the midsummer programme. He is master of his art. The present Fair is the Fourth Annual Fair of the Fresno Agrciultural Society, each one of whioh was a success, and the fair of this year the ccming week has the promise of ex- celling any of its predecessors. It will add to the general interest on account of this being the year of the State elec- tion. It is moreover a year of singularly bountiful crops, ready markets, high prices, and lucrative sales. The whole State is in flourishing condition. Farmers and fruit-growers" and vineyardists alike are prospering. Grain is command- ing top figures, fruits of every kind are finding quicker pur- chase and better prices than in any previous year, wine grapes and wines are advancing, and the raisin crop has never been bo lucrative or in suoh demand. Fresno has little to do with the hop product, but the counties of North- ern California in which hops make an important figure in the yearly returns, and thriving upon thB hop crop of this year, and as they receive fair proportion of the benefits which accrue to Fresno from her manifold productions dif- erent from theirs, in tarn will Fresno surely reap fair share fof the good which ihall flow to them from their various pro- ducts this year. It is the equation of fair distribution from out the common wealth. It is Fresno's annual Fair. Other counties and other State Agricultural Districts have already had their appointed Fairs or are yet to hold them. The great State Fair has but lately closed at Sacramento. To all of theBe Fresno has lib- erally contributed or will contribute. All the world over, in politics, in finance, in trade, in communities, everywhere and between all manner of bodies — except in the State Lag- islature and in love affairs — the motto goes, "You tickle me and I'll tickle yon." Fresno has tickled the other counties and District Fairs to their good enjoyment. Her sister conn' ties of the valley and herself could make little impression upon the Legislature in the earnest matter of irrigation through a series of years, but at last there came a smile of appreciation; and now at the Fourth Annual Fair of Fresno all of these valley counties, with FreBno in the lead, will ex- ample the order of the period toward reciprocity, and so tickle the welcomed visitors of other counties to the delight. fal entertainments of track and pavilion and grounds, that all will join in the general commendation and evermore vote for Fresno and the Valley and Irrigation to heart's content. Manager Baldwin will be on hand to receive them. Mr. Fres- no will ei\e them hearty greeting. The grand army of Irri- gationists will give their comrades cordial entertainment. The Fair of FreBno w'll beam their manifestations of appre- ciation upon the faire t who may come from other sections. FRESNO CITY. Its Manifest Destiny— The Future Great City of Interior Southern California. Fresno is the central county of the great San Joaqain Val- ley, the moBt fertile of the grand divisions of California, as the State is geographically apportioned. Fresno City is the pith and heart of Fresno county. Fresno County was be- fore Fresno City, but it is nevertheless the fact that the dis. tingnishment of Fre&no, as an attractive, a growing, a flour- ishing, and a conspicuous county of California, dates from and is allied with the planting and the development of Fres- no City. It is the illustration of the trnism that the son is the father of the man. Fresno County was the creation of 1856. Iu its territory the county was as lung and as broad as it is now. There were in it as many square miles and as many acres. There has been no change of soil since the rsc white man set foot within the domain of Fresno. There is change in conditions. The Fresno of trails and wide road- ways, of sparse population and primitive methods, of a single trading post and a few hundreds of population to thousands of square miles of territory; the Fresno of a military post and an Indian reservation, the Fresno of large cattle ranches, of Bheep pastures, an3 of hay raising. There was soil for grain, bnt no market for the product: there were no facilities of transportation beyond the prairie schooner and the pack train; travel was light and trade was occasional. Fresno waa known in San Francisco, but much as the Spokane region in the Northwest was known or as Patagonia is now. The Southern Pacifio extended the railroad line down through the valley of the San Joaquin and planted stations. "Within the broad strip of Fresno county was the geographi- cal and trade centre of the vast territory between San Fran- cisco and Los Angeles, directly upon the line. Fresno City marks the location. The seed of the embryo city was plant- ed. Confidence is a plant of slow growth. Young settle- ments have precarious lives. Confidence once established there is no reason for apprehension. On the crest of '.the wav« of advancement tbe place will sorely be borne along or be borne under. The plant of Fresno was destined to per- manance and promotion. For ten years the growth was slow and the promise poor. A radical change was needed, in pro- ducts and in Bystem. Population was the essential quaniity; the means to its attractiveness of first importance. Cattle and Bheep and hogs were not especial inducements. Grain as a sole product had more favored fields in the way of market- ing. During the decade the material' change came. Fresno ceased to be a region of only cattle and sheep and hogs. It oontioued to grow in importance as a grain producing coun- ty. It blossomed into the condition of the land of the vine and of fruits, and in these it has attained rank without ri- valry; fame throughout the whole broad land. Fresno City is the chief interior city of Southern California between Stockton and Los Angeles. As Fresno County is the central belt of San Joaquin Valley, Fresno City is the central point of the county, the principal market of th« county and of the valley. From its plant of less than a hundred souls it ha3 griwn to a city of eleven thousand, and posesses the qaalificatious of a full-fledged city. It con- tains more population than all the other towns com- bined along the line of the railroad in the valley, and is every year more progressing in trade, in wealth, in popula- tion and importance. There is substantial reason for this. FreBno is the heart of the most luxuriant of the notable productive areas in California in the plants and products most lucrative to the producer with readiest command in markets at home an abroad. Orchards and vineyards ar© more profitable per acre than fields of grain, however prolific They require less acre, les3 employed help, give better oppor- tunity to the struggling cultivation and insure better recom* pense. The country immediately about Fresno is famous for its raisin culture. There is no exaggeration in the statement that, acre for aore and prodact for product, in no part of California — and therefore the continent can be safely chal- lenged— is the compensation of the producer equally assured one year with another. The frugal family of moderate means seoures a plot of ten acres, plants it in raisin grapes and fruit trees, and in a few years the nest egg of a bank account is put by, to surely increase by industry and thrift to the suffi- ciency to add other acres to the possession until enough is had to warrant a life-time occupation with increment of of plenty and assurance of comfortable wealth. Lands that were bought for a few dollars acquire a real worth of hun- dreds of dollars, rated as property pays interest on the in- vestment, and this is justified by the value of the products of the soil as they are marketed. All about Fresno City are seen the proofs of this gratifying growth. Since the era of Irrigation, Fresno has advanced aB the water coursed and spread to enliven every foot of soil to fructify every product. The flow of water is enduring; the crops can never fail; and every year the demand iB ex- panding, the facilities of transportation are increasing. The markets are better established; the city which has a fertile and productive country surrounding it must inevitably prosper. It is as a bank with unfailing depositors. The riches of the contribution combine to advance it to tbe corn- manrling position from which no earthly agency can remove it. This is tbe position of Fresno, the destined great city of interior Southern California. The City of Fresno is in itself ajmarvel until its conditions are investigated and understood. The plant of the Southern Pacihc Railroad Company in 1873, with the pioneer mercan- tile houses of Louis Einstein and Kutner and Goldstein »8 foster brothers to its growth and aid, it has remained fixed gradually improved, prospered, increased, spread, become noted, gained surpassing attractions among all the interior towns and cities of the S ate; and without a drawback to its progress it is now flourishing beyond the most sanguine ex- pectations of its founder and promoters and steadfast friends. Louis Einstein and Kalner and Goldstein still continue faithful to the young oity of their early enterprise. it has enriched these and they have not beeD unmindful of the obligations inoident. Tbe two houses have builded in the city and invested in tbe country about. Handsome blocks of brick are the evidences of their wealth and their energy, and other improvements attest their eagaoity and pablic spirit. Fresno City is built upon a plain, almost level in every di- rection. The railroad divides it in almost equal parts, run- ning diagonally through tbe center. The streets ar*> broad, and grand avenues extend out to the various colonies for 274 ^Itje ffrjejete awed j^wrrtsmiro. Sept. 27 miles. Figuratively, Fresno is the bub, from which radiate the grand avenues, whioh have no parallel in any other city of California for delightful drives and entrancing views of charming landscape of valley order, with the arts of cultiva- tion to adorn the beauties and embellish the soenes of na- ture. These avenues— Orange, East, Cherry, Elm, Fig, Wal- nut, Fruit, Blackstooe, Belmont, Grant, Ventura, and oth- ers less conspicuously known, are broad, well made and lined with trees and shrubbery, which afford shade and are pleas. ant to the eye. Elm avenue is a magnificent drive— one hun- dred feet wide, on either tide planted with elms of healthful growth and dense foliage in the season. Similarly do Orange, Cherry, Fig. Walnut and Fruit avenues derive their nomen- clature. The distinctive fruitage of tbe parallel lines of guarding trees to each brcai avenue and pretty drive is the token of tbe avenue. Strange that there is no Pomegranate avenue, for there are hedges of this delicious fruit whioh line the way on almost every avenue and throughout the colonies which surround Fresno City. In the affluence of semi-trop ioal fruits and plants the pomegranate in FreBno seems to be omitted from its proper rating. In all California ib no equal to the Court House Square of Fresno. It iB greater in area, more tastefully planted in trees of foliage and of beauty, and is in every feature more enchanting. The graceful, indigenous, deciduous trees, in- termingled with the symmetrical exotic, the umbrella tree and the mulberry, tbe lithe poplars and the umbrageous oaks, with walks lined wholy of fig trees in full bearing, make the square by day a grateful retreat in the fullness of the sun, and at night the tall electric lights make it a scene of brilliancy, in which the lights of day and the shades of night appear as of encbantment. Throughout the city shade trees grace and beautify the walks and afford comfort to passers. There are many handsome dwellings, a number of stately houses and sumptuous mansions about the city- homes of comfort, palatial abodes. The system of naming the streets is particularly admirable. The founders of Fresno were intelligent and broad-minded. They embraced the State in the naming of the streets. Eioh county has its representative in the nomenclature Of the streets of Fresno, from the north to the south and from the Sierras to the Pacific. The heart of Fresno is faithful to its own seotion, as the streets of Mariposa, of Tulare, of Fresno, of Stanislaus, of Tuolumme, of Kern, of Inyo attest; but no Bection of the Slate is neglected. Transversely the ■ letters of the alphabet are followed. Thus the memorizing of the streets of Fresno is an enduring lesson to the pupil of the primary schoolB and a liberal knowledge to the adult dweller. It is tbe combination of localities with letters, as the woof and warp of a well woven fabric In its business portion Fresno has to its credit the grandest structures of any interior city in the State. The Farmera Bank, of which Dr. Lewis Leach, the pioneer and veteran, is President and John Reichman the Cashier; the Fresno Nat_ ional Bank, the First National Bank, the Loan and Saving., Bank and the Bank of Central California, are grand editioes which would adorn San Franciscos. The Fisk building, Donoho, Emmons & Co., Griffith's building, Temple Bar, Garibaldi Block, Wiener & Co , and the Hughes Block are worthy of metropolitan placement. Barton's Opera House is i self metropolitan in size, in grandeur, in completeness. The hotels of Fresno are a conspicuous feature. There is no better managed hostelry in California than the Grand Central Hotel, Fulton G. Berry the hoBt, Fred Dexter the chief clerk. The Hughes with Thos. E. Hughes, the "Fath- er of Fresno," the proprietor, is a grand hotel. The Fahey House, the Abingdon, and others, complete the list. Berry's Grand Central is the transient rendezvous, the chosen of the city people. It is a home as it iB a hotel. The host is him- self a host, and Fred Dexter is as worthy as he is popular. No traveler need carry a lunch if his journey is to Fresno. There is no city in California in whioh better meals or better refreshments are at call. The Colonies about Fresno City are chief attractions of the place. These Colonies are the famous localities of tbe fruit orchards and the vineyards— of grapeB for wines and for raisins. Central Colony was first formed. Since have come Washington, FreBno, Church, Scandinavian, and others. Of these it may be said that they surround Fresno with unfail- ing wealth of product. In theBe Colonies are the beautiful homes of Colonel William Forsyth, in whom California is honored by his Gt appointment as Commissioner of the World's Fair at Chicago; of Kobert Barton, the enterprising citizen who has built in Fresno City the grandest theatrical struoture in California, the California theatre in San Fran- cisco alone excepted; of T. C. White, a prominent citizen; of Theo. Kearney, of M. J. Church, of Emil Brotzner, and many others. Tracts in these ColonieB command from $100 to ¥500 per acre. Some manage to live in comparative oom- fort and make a small Baving every year upon ten aores, in raisin grapes and fruit-i— arjrioots, peaches, pears, figs, prunes and oranges. Many possess no more than twenty acres, and every year add to a snug bank account. The area of forty acres is considered a fair competency. Above that the rich expand to a quarter section, and this quantity, in vines and fruit trets, is assured wealth. Fresno City iB well equipped in the habiliments of a oily A good tire department, with Chief Higgins, experienced and competent, guards the city from coollagratiuu. Two steam engiueB, a ohemical engine, with hose carriages and hooks and ladders, and an electric alarm system, constitute Ihe safe protection. Fresno is well supplied with electrio lights. The streets in the bneiness part of tbe city are admirably Paved, with bituminous and asphaltum pavements, and side- walks are of patent stone, smooth and clearly. It is the best paved and oleanliest city in California, San Francisco not excepted. Since the syBtem of irrigation has been brought to general usefulness, Fresno is in no lack of water, and it is of pure, healthful quality for household useB. for drinking and for every purpose. Broad, deep ditches, lead from tbe riverB into every Colony, into the city, all through the adjacent lands. It ia a net work of flowing streams and revivifying cocduits. Every aore is flooded or gently laved, as the occa- sion requires; and every household iB amply supplied with the water of life. Fresno iB amply furnished for protection in the extinguishment of firea. The rivers of Fresno county afford abundance for the cultivation of every acre. The newspapers of FreBno merit special mention and com- mendation. In no interior city in the State, in no city of California of equal population, exist daily newspapers which are up to the high grade of the two daily newspapers of Fresno City. The Expositor is the oldest, owned and con- dueled by 3 . W. Ferguson, a veteran of the Press, and an estimable citizen of substantial worth. T. C.Judkina owns a id coLducts the Republican. He is a gentleman of lofty character and pure mold, able, judgmatical and conscientious These dailies honor Fresno and are well patronized. As the oity will grow prosperous and great, they will become more and more influential and potential; for, without an honest and an adequate Pre68, no community can be fitly repre- sented or commenBurately thrive. Fresno has more than the fair proportion of honored and distinguished citizens among the counties of California. Foremost in rank and worth and popularity is Dr. Chester Kiwell. He is a pioneer resident, the most modest of Fresno's citizenB in proportion to his real merit. He is be. loved by all, from youth to age, and he deserves it. De- voted to the people — and he knows no bounds of townBhip or country lines— he is faithful to every interest of the local. ity, of the State and of the Republic Of Fresno it may be said the promise is beycnl human calculation. None comprehended California in the early period. The vast mental grasp of Webster was unequal to the study. Heroic Tom Benton, Senator of Missouri, the father of JeBsie Fremont, who was the senator above all others of his rank in the knowledge and prescience of the Great West, never came to the understanding of the bound- less greatness of this Pacific Coast, and of its golden territory — now proved to be richer in material products of the soil than it was or is in the deposits of precious metals. Gold lifted California to distinguishment in the world. Her pro- ducts of soil have further elevated the State. The pros- pectiag of the miners found only gold, and the earth waB im- poverished as it was dug out. It was the delving of the agriculturist which discovered the greater and the nobler and perpetual worth of California. WasteB have bloomed and deseits have borne fruit more precious than gold or sil- ver. The world is attracted to these shores. California is the oynosure. Fresno iB tbe interior city, and the country is the surrounding region, whioh is destined to the most gratifying future. Tbe propheoy cannot fail. It is predicted upon the unction of the soil which always yields the richest gifis to mankind. Our Tennessee Letter. Gallatin, Tenn., Sept. 16, 1S90. Editok Breeder and Sportsman: — It was forty-six years ago this past summer that a little mare by imp Tranby (a son of the renowned English horse Blacklock) was mated to the imported horse Trustee, who was brought over from England in 1835. The Tranby mare was mated first to Mirabeau, and the result was the great horse Alaric In 1S55 Tranby Anna, for that is what she was frequently called, was Bent to the embraie of imp Trustee, and I may say right here that it was the result of that union that now, after forty-six years of remarkable changes and transformations on the American turf, gives me cause to piok up my pen and write this arti- ole. And, why not? Had not Tranby Anna been bred to Trustee, and Levity been the result, there could have been no Lightsome, and, consequently, there would bave been a serious absence of Salvators, Luke Blackburns, Ecquadora, Volturnos, Elias LawrenoeB, and other horses of that ilk. After a prolonged silenoe of forty years, I now wield my pen to do honor t > the greatest family of runners that the Amer- ican turf has ever known, but if I were to confine this article wholly to the prepotency of Levity, some wide mouthed fel low would angrily shout, "Chestnuts!" and he would be jus- tified in doing so. Who is it, no matter how ignorant of the breeding of our greatest horses, does not know that a score of our best American horses trace directly to Levity? They are very few and far between. And who is it that does not know that Lightsome, the incomparable daughter of Lev- ity, was the dam of Salina, Sprightly. Nevada, Crucifix and Gulnare, the first four being noted the counlry over as the "Four great producing sisters"? But who is it that knows for what a mere BODg the produce of Lightsome were sold by Mr. Alexander at Woodburn Farm? Very few. It would naturally be supposed that after Lightsome had produced Lexicon and Salina, the latter being the best three-year-old of ber year— 1871— that the produce of Lightsome would have commaniel high prioos. 4nd then after Nevada oame in 1869, and was in 1872 the beBt of her age, it would seem that Lightsume's colts woul 1 bave been in great demand. Not bo; th6y were always sold at piltry figures, and what a gnat contrast there iB to be noticed if these mares are com- pared with others that were Bold for high figureB and failed .o produce even a first-clasB selling plater. I am indebted to Mr. Lucas Broadheid, tbe efficient mau* ager of Woodburn Farm, and , whose racy pen is well kne and much appreciated by turf readers, for the following prices obtained for the entire produce of Lightsome The following figures show what tbat produce of Light t,:'v some brought 1869, b f Sprightly, by Lexington— (sold when i years oil) |35l 18(10. b f Linda, by in.p Scythioln (sold when 0 year old with foal) 1861. ch c Lexicon, by Lexington Bold in 10' IT ""' i ::fi .:■■■ (oil f W ill! nil I i;lf in, if .■ 'J id n 1863 for 1862^ CD c Lively, by'Ringgold, Bold in 1864 1861 and 1864 foals died young 1866, Fadette, by Alexander's AbdalHh (trotter) 1866, b f Crucifix, by Lexington, was Bold to D.in Sweigert but bought back 18G8, b f Salina, sold as a yearling 45 1869, b f Nevada, by Le'iugton, sold in 1870 1870. Ernmett (hipped) Bold for 1872, ch c Lightheels, sold for 1876, ch f Gulnare, by imp. Glen Athol It will be seen that Lightsome produced eleven living f( nine of which were sold for $2,795. The four great broo, mareB, Salina, Crucifix, Nevada and Sprightly, produce- more first-class race horses than bave ever been produce by four fillies out of one dam. Sprightly was the dam of Volnrno, Eliaa Lawrence Aretino, all great turf performers, and now give promisee beooming famouB in the stud. Crucifix was the dam of SI Augustine, and Semper Felix (dam of Leonatus) (winoere the Kentucky Derby in 18S3) and Semper Viva (dam of tb speedy Fordham. Silina produced Danieheff and the grei Salvator, whose performance is too well known to need lurtl er mention here. Nevada was the dam of the celebrate Luke Blackburn, Greenland, Bradford, Ecquador, etc, Sprightly was for several years bred to trotting horsei and by producing her three great sons afterwards complete! knock the theory of "mares will not produce after being bre to cold blooded horses" into a cocked hat. It was the case with Lightsome who produced Fadette in 1S75 to Ale andei's Abdallah, a trotter, and aftewards produced Sallt and Nevada, who were the best three year olds of their yen 1871 aDd 1872 respectively. Fadette, by Alexander's Abdal'ah, was brought by Ligb some into fame in the trotting registers through the perfon ance of her daughter FavoDia, one of the gamest race mar upon the turf, and who has a record of 2:15. She was al the dam of Glenview, sire of Euclid, who took a record 2:28. Lightsome was undoubtedly one of the best and mo prepotent mares ever known. Her fame is well know Lightstone died at Woodburn Farm in December, 1S79, ai she has the distinction of being the greatest produoing ma of the time. While she never produced as many wionera Belle Knight, Kathleen and Mariposa, there iB no other mi more productive and the produce of her daughters ha won bo much money. The sons and daughters of Lights, m, daughters are now coming upon the turf, and they are ft lowing in the footsteps of their ancestors. It is a great fai ily that needs to be preserved, and we may ways expect to Bee star performers come from these bit lines. In point of producing and prepotency Levity can have b one equal, if any. Black Sophia by Top Gallant, was t dam of Morgiana, Jerry, Fortuna, Parasol, Birminghti Beeswing and Tom Teefe\ all noted turf performers ia thi day in Tennessee, and through the produce of Black Sophii four filly foals we have seen many of our star performers Longitude, Fanny Malone, Jack Malone, Pat Malloy, F»»t j Come to Taw, lemony. Belle d'Or, Bombast, Bookmaki TenneBBee, Brookljn, Tyrant, Vinagairette, Ferucliff, '. garine, Bootjick, Penn P., Lord Murob, Ozirk, etc., p petuate these two great families. Kenneui Light Weights — In a recent number of the London R eree "Pendragon" discusses the light-weight questiou, in dentally throwing in some remarks spent short distunes n "H ing. His ideas are, as usual, pithy, and are very applicall to the present state of affaire here: "By-acd-bye the lowest raciog weight will be 6 st. 71 in due course it will be 7 st., and then the best sort of raoi meD, who may or may not be owners, will wonder how was it sould ever have been as little as we have known When that time comes all of us may not be here to see, b whoever thinks he is likely to be left may as well note no in oase he requires the faot for future use, tbat no races then be run, except for two-year-olds, at a less distauco tb seven furlongs. In all probability a mile will be the shorn permissable distance. If, as I expect they will do by the they limit the length of two-year-old raceB to half a mi why, so much the better. A range of no more than 3 si. 7 in handicaps— say from 7 st. to 10 st. 7 lb.— wonld make immense amount of difference in the quality of our hors though at first it might throw half of them out of trainir Aa for the difference in the jockeys caused by the lift in weights, why, it would at once abolish much of the tronl that exists now, and all thfl fat-headed admiration tbatsho such extremes of folly about present-day pigmies siavf beoause they can sit on horses while they are galloping wotT be abolished with it.

G. was in no better form than usual at the score. Hannibal broke with his usnal freedom and it took four scores to get them off, with Knox a length and a half behind. J. S. C. took the pole until the quarter, where he went to pieces and got a oinoh on fourth plaoe which he strengthened by coming in about fifty yards behind the distance flag. When J. S. G. went down Howe went to the front, trailed two lengths behind by* Hannibal, Knox getting about that nerr to the gray. They finished in the same position, though Smith foroed Howe out in a much faster pace than he made on the third quarter. Second heat— Auction px>ls: Hannibal, Jr., $20; field, $15. Mutualspaid $16.50. Howe was a little behind at the start, but kept the pole and set a pace so fast for Hannibal that he appeared to want to rest himself by breaking. This he did three or four times, but paid for it by being set baokto third place by the judges. He lapped the winner nearlv all the way and finished secand by half a length. Knox tr -t ted a good honest heat, coming in thirty yards behind the others. Third heat— Auction pools: Hannibal $10, field $20. Mu- tuals paid $5 75. Maud Knox had to be sent off behind again, as Captain Lowe could not get her to score up. The heat was uoeventfal. except for the fact that Hannibal. Jr., forced Howe to show faster speed than he had hitherto done, and took the lead between the quarter and the half. At the half mils post Howe crowded up so fast that Tongue's gray had to break, and Howe had the pole all the rest of the way to the head of the homestretch. Here they came in on even terms, and Smith put Hannibal down io good shaps, though he haa" to break under the wire. Owing to breaking he was put back to third place. SECOND DAT.

At the second score Siwyer nodded for the word three lengths behind, but they were sent back. They got off well on the third, with Beulah a little the worst of it. Smith kept Lady Mac at the pole, Ooida even up until at the quar- ter, where she went to pieces, giving Bailey her place at Lady Mao's side, Rockwood Jr. half a length behind, four lengths to Beulah, four to Ouida. Then Bailey took the pole. At the five-eighths Rockwood broke, but quiokly recovered. Lady Mao continued into tbe head of the stretch even with Bailey, and finished seoond by only half a length. Beulah made a fine spurt down the homestretch, and was only a neck behind Rockwood at the wire. The grandstand was jubilant over Bailey's victory, and shouted: "Hurrah for Sawyer!" Second heat— Auotion pools; "Lady Mao $20, field £5, Mutnals paid on Bailey $5.05, Lady Mao $16.25. It was a wonderfully good start for five horse3, and at the quartei they were strnng out a length behind each other — Bailey, Lady Mack, Rockwood, Beulah and Onida. It was all between Lady Mao and Beulah, for Rockwood broke and went to pieces, getting last place until the homestretch, where he made a good finish ahead of Ooida, who was inside tbe flag, but was set baok for running. Third heat — Auction pools: Lady Mao $20, field $4. Mutuals paid on Lady Mao $7.75. Bailey got off two lengths behind, but nobody borrowed any trouble about him, as he played with the leaders all the way around. Lady Mao made a bad break and lost her show for second plaoe, as Woods put Beulah through in excellent form. The other two were some fonr lengths apart until the homestretch, where Lady Mao made a deBperate effort to regain her second place, but in vain. SUM4MARY. Eunning— Special: half-mile; puree 3100.

Wade took the lead from the Btart, trailed by Oregon Eclipse, Eddie R. and Herald even a leDgth behind. Herald quit on the homestretoh, and while Eclipse and Wade come down nearly even, Foster's colt was a nose ahead at the finish. It was a wonderful finish, Wade and Oregon Eclipse being whipped for all that was in them. Epperson was taken off his horse dripping with sweat and was carried into the weigher's stand and carried out again to his stall. He was overcome with the exertion of his finish. It was a great winning for Oregon, the winner being an Oregon bred horse, bis mother being owned by Foster Bros., of Southern Oregon. Mr. Foster backed his colt heavily, as so also did the other own- ers. It was a great overthrow also for the sports, who had given credence to a rumor that it had been fixed up for Eddie R. or Herald to win. The raoe proved to be for blood, however, and was won by the fastest horse. Wade was carrying a pre ty heavy weight, 120 pounds, and had an uphill tight from the start, as Eddie R. and Oregon EclipBe both beat him out in the five-eighths dash at City View.

Mutuals paid $25 50. Boeie C. drew the pole, St. JameB next, then Mink, Bosie got off behind so that Smith was enabled to get the pole with ■ St. James, Mink second. At the quarter Captain Lowe'6 big gelding went to pieces and lost so much ground that Clancy set, he was no longer in the race. Mink now showed the way lapped by Mollie Oooper; but at the halt Koeie began to move up, followed by Cooper. At the five-eighths there was day- light between Kosie and Cooper, Mink third by a leDgth. Then Davis laid on the whip, but the pice appeired to be too fast for her. Mink also got mad at his inability to close np the gap and went under the wire on a bad break. Seoond heat — Auction pools: Kosie C. $40. Mol.ie Cooper $10, Field $10. Mutuals paid $9 10. The horses got off well together, but at a very slow pace. Mollie took the pole at the first tnrn and kept it until at the quarter Mink overhauled her. Then she broke badly and let Kosie C. in aheid of her. Pretty soon Mink was three lengths ahead, and the nearest Ko3ie oould get to him was a 6hort length. Clancy's hard driving down the homestretoh wbb the object of considerable criticism, as it was thought he might have won the third heat had he not driven her so hard againBt a forlorn hope. Probably he wanted to save his position, fearing Mollie's fast finishes. Third heat— Auction pool»: Mink S20, Rosie C. $4, Mollie Cooper $4. MatualB paid $8.25. It was Mink's heat from start to finish. Mjllie was way behind until at the five-eighths, where Rosie's bad behavior led her into second place. Fourth heat— No auction pools. Mutnals paid $11.50. Sawyer was put up behind Rjsie 0., and George Graves behind Mollie Cooper. The judges delivered quite a lecture to the new drivers about expecting them to beat Mink, and the grand stand Btood in with them, testifying to their ap- proval by uproarous cheers and applause. "This change is made," said Captain Anderson from the stand, "to try and get better time out of those horses by the new drivers. It is made in the interests of the society Bnd for your satisfaction. Try and assist us in lowering the time by preserving perfeot quiet." They obeyed the summons until after the finish, when "Honest John" came in on a slow jjg fonr lengths ahead of the others Then the track was a scene of the wildest pandemonium. Hats flew into the air, everybody screamed at the top of their voice and pounded the seats of the grand stand. The heat was remarkable for Mink's stop- ping at the quarter. He had the pole until here, but when Sawyer oame np alongside of him he went all to pieces, and virtually stopppd still in the raoe. He was, without esag- geration, a good eighth of a mile behind when he settled down to work, and his finish to escape a distance was a phe- nomenal showing of speed. He finished a length ahead of Kosie O. After the heat, people crowded around Mollie Cooper to such an extent that it was with the greatest diffi- culty that Sawyer and his men unhitched their mare. He felt obliged to send for a marshal to keep the crowd away. Wain Williams. Tony NoltDer's brother-in-law, responded, and stood guard over Mollie's stall while she was being walked about and afterwards being hitched up. "I could have shut them out," said Sawyer, "but I was afraid of driving the mare too hard." Fifth heat— Auotion pools: Mollie Cooper $40. Mink $20, Rosie C $4. Mutuals paid $12. Mollie ., ..ud went all to pieces at the first turn, and then again at the quarter, giving Mink first place, and then strengthening him in it. She braced up, however, and at the five-eighths, where Bo- sie was three lengihs behind Mink, she passed her and was hard after the leader. Sawyer remembered how well sbe stood the whip, and brought it down on the homestretch, but it was no use; she was two far behind, and Mink was entirely too faBt,, finishing in better time than Mollie showed the previous heat. There is no doubt, however, that if sbe had not goDe to pieoes at the qnarter, she would either have forced Mink out in better than 2:27, or have beaten him alto- gether. The only thing gained by tbe judges in taking Char- ley Clancy ont from his sulkey was that he lost even third money to Barlow. Clancy was backing hie mare heavily and has been in hard luck. It is a serious question if he is wholly without good grounds for complaint, as the new driver the judgeB put up only succeeded m getting her dis- tanced, thus destroying ber show for a plico. It would have been do more than right for them to have waived the dis- tance and given him third money. Mr. Barlow resents tbe imputation that he was interested in a job in the pace. "I had Smith in reserve," he said, J'so that if I couldn't win it with Woods, I would put him up. If any man thinks that either of the mares can beat my horse, 3 in 5, they can win $1,000 of my money, for he is getting pretty near right now." THREE-YEAR-OLD TROTTING RACE.

Mutuals paid on Bailey S6.75, on Knox $47.50. Knox drew the pole, then in order Bailey, Kinney, Susie, Hannibal Jr. Knox was slow in coming up to score and Han- nibal did some high cavorting. Bailey and Susie were tapped off behind at the fourth score. Bailey broke and set an ex- ample which was followed with greater or less persistence by all the horses in the race. In the opinion of the judges, Kinney and Tongue's gray did most of it, and they were ac- cordingly set back for running. Susie S. was last all the way around after Bailey had recovered from his first break. Kinney took the pole, lapped by Hannibal and then Maud Knox. Kinney began to, run, then Bailey moved up past Knox andchalleng-d Hannibal. This move Hannibal thought justified him in running past Kinney in Bailey's company. Before recovering, however, he fell back, and at the half the order was Bailey, Kinney, Hannibal, Knox and Susie S. It was difficult to keep track of the breaking of Hannibal, Kin- ney and the mares down the stretch. They were up and down with charming variety, finishing with Bailey first by two lengths, Kinney a nose ahead of Hannibal, Knox fourth by a length, Susie with her. Second heat.— Auction pools, Bailey barred, Susie S. $15, Hannibal Jr. $7, field, $7. Mutuals paid on field §23, 0n SuBie S. $9. Kinney was withdrawn, aa his sulky was broken. Then Misner got another, and wanted to come in after two scores, but the judges would not allow it. The three got off even, Bailey two lengths behind. Knox held the pole until at tbe eighth, where she broke, giving Susie the pole. Then Han- nibal moved up, then Bailey. But Susie got a lead of two lengths by this time, and set a faster pace, apparently, than "Honest John" had calculated on. The best he could do was to finish second by a nose, Hannibal a half a length be- hind. Hannibal Jr., did some good work, closing np the gap, and keening company with the leaders as they came down in a 2:27 gait. Knox was fourth by four lengths. Third heat. — Auction' pools, Bailey barred, Susie S., $5; field, $10. Mutuals paid on Bailey, $5 50; on Susie S., $8 Hannibal Jr., had the best of the start, but as Bailey took the pole on the first turn, Smith hud to content himself with keeping company with Susie, a length and a half behind Bailey. At the half the order was Bailey, SuBie, Hannibal and Knox about three lengths between each, and in this or- der they finished a fine 'heat, almost without a break, a length between them under tbe wire. Fourth heat — No auction pools or mutualB on Bailey. Knox mutuals paid $35. The heat was marked by Susie's bad breaking, causing ber to lose to fourth place, and by Knox's hard and honest work by which she was enabled to finish second by two lengths, Hannibal breaking badly at her wheel. Woods had nothing to gain by hard driving as Susie's second place was already assured. Smith disappointed his friends by not putting the gray in ahead of either Susie or Knox, in the remarkably slow time. Mr. Tongue says Hannibal's quarters are sore. SALEM'S FIRST YEARLING TROT.

Crawford feels that he is in some degree paid for the disgrace put upon him at City View, when he was taken out of the sulky under the imputation of being drunk. Second heat— Crawford had apparently driven his Alta- mont filly too hard in the first heat, for she acted very tired, and, after breaking several times, was so far behind that her Bpeed on the homestretch did not avail her.

The horBes all broke badly before the quarter, excepting Palatina, and when they settled down the order was: Pala- tina Brat by three lengths, Ham second, with Bailey a length behind, Lady Beach on a dead run out of sight in the rear. Then Sawyer began to move up. He passed Kitty at the half, and when Palatina slowed up at tbe three-quarters, from behind Bailey went two lengths ahead of her in about 100 yards of driving. Sawyer was able to come in three lengths ahead in a Blow jog, two lengths ahead of Palatina, Kitty Ham's nose at her wheel. Second heat — Action pools, Bailey barred, Ham $20. Pala- tina $16. Mutuals paid on Bailey S6.S0, on flam $7 25. Kitty trottod the fastest heat of her life, and her steady work, with scarcely a break, reflects credit upon Smith's handling of her. She gave her friends, who always back her in every race for the good she has done them, no oause to complain. It has been given out solid that Palatina and Kitty were both to be driven to force Bailey out in a mark that would effectually bar him from all but the fastest classes hereafter, and Smith did it. However one may stand on the Altamont Ham controversy, no one who saw Kitty yes- terday as she gamely stayed with Quimby's importation in the fastest heat ever trotted in Oregon can fail to admire the noble mare. Kitty is now in her prime, and will be a good mare for the remainder of the circuit. She finished a clever second in a wonderfully fist quarter— a 2:17 clip. Of the winner it iB perhaps enough to say that his remark- able performance, honest style of work, general good con- duct and large earningB this season, demonstrate the wisdom of Mr. Quimby's system of purchasing horses. That is, — he buys good ones, and does not fritter his money away by load- ing down his stables with a lot of second class animals to be fed, doctored and cared for. In Prisemont, Phalmont, Boy, Bailey and Howe, he has a string of performers that are sec- ond to none among those of standard bred horses in the Pacific Northwest. Third heat— No auction pools. Mutuals paid $6.45. The heat was uneventful,and was merely a matter of form, Bailey winning easily by a length in slow time. SUMMARY. Running, tbree-efgbths_of a mile, $200, no entrance. W.

The first of these two-year-olds to claim attention this spring was Sternberg by Wilkes Boy 2:24',', and a little later Moonstone, the daughter of Sultan, 2:24, gave him a beating, and last week the daughter of Di- rector disposed of both ihese colt*, as well as a number of other good ones, trotting the third heart in 2-.28J, '1 here will be some breeders in Kentucky, no doubt, that will wish tbey had patronized Director more than they did the Season he stood in their Sate, even though be was owned by a Oaltfor- nian. Not many sires have been represented on the turf by as Rood a two-year-old, three-year-old and four-year old as Director has been, by Evangeline, Margaret S., and Direct. Another fact worth noting about the three ereat two-year- olds Kentucky has produced is that they all carry the blood of George Wilkes. Evangeline is by Director and out of a daughter of Red WilkeB; Sternberg is by Wilkes Bov, and Moonstone is by Saltan and out of a daughter of George Wilkes Truly, speed seeing to come through every line that this great horse left, and his sols and daughters seem to be as prepotent as he was himnelf. 278 ^ixt fprxettcr £ttd jipnrtsmau. Sept. 27 I CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR. SACRAMENTO, THURSDAY, SEPT. IS, 1890. The park was crowded all tiie morning, the eager specta- tors criticising the stock parade from a horseman's stand- point and evidently taking interest in it, while the cattle de- partment was tbionged by spectators. The main feature of the morning was the presentation to Monroe Salisbury, Esq., Pleasanton, of a gold medal awarded to the Pleasanton Stock Farm for tbe best average performances of the progeny of any stallion in the raoes the laBt three State Fairs. Direct and Margaret S. have done so well last year and the previous years that the medal was awarltd to Director's progeny, and the handsome gold trophy was pieseoted to Mr. Salisbury by Director John Boggs in a very instructive and eloquent speech. The medal, which is a beautifnl piece of work, was produced by Messrs. Yanderslice and Co, at a cost of $200; has the inscription, to Director (No 19S9), time, 2;17 in 1S87, Direct 2:18£ and Margaret S. 2:19), for the best average per- iormances of a sire and his progeny in races for trotting purses for foals of 2, 3 and 4 year olds at the State Fairs of 1887-8-9. There are also three portraits of Director, Direct and Margaret S. in the ctnter of the medal. Mr. Salisbury ih his well known courteous manner thanked the Directors and they adjourned presumably to luncheon. The afternoon programme had four races and Directors La Rue, Green and Smgletary officiated in the stand, while H. J. Agnew, F. C. De Long and L. J. Rose acted as timers. Tue tirst race on the programme, a trotting purse for named horses, had five starters, J. Cochran's Maud H. being made a big favorite, probably because Goldsmith was up behind her. After winning the first heat she was second every time to Mattie P. who won in handy style and will probably go much better than 2:27| before spring. The 2:24 trot was a certainty for Sister V. who has not been beaten so far on tbe circuit. The Sacramento lyearling colt stake came nest, which is under the auspices of the Sacramento Colt Stake Association, a time honored association which in its day has had many cracks among its entries, Yolo Maid, Adonis, Creole and others competing for the three vear old pacing stake at their meeting. Turee colts turned out, the winner proving to be Wilber Field Smith's bay colt Kebir, by Alca- zar from Yerba Santa by Santa Claus, etc. Tbe colt, who is a very good lookingjyoungster was bred by L. J. Rose and Mold to W. F. Smith. He won 1b easy style, aad judging from his square gait and resolute way of going is a valuable investment, as he could have easily trotted much faster than 3:14. ine last race, the free for all pace, was a frightful throw down. Racing is proverbially uncertain, but Lever was it so plainly evident as to-day when the pretty little Steinway mare, Crickot, who has done so well in the East, broke on the tirst turn and then again in tue back stretch to a stand- still, and though she finished well, anotber break half way down the stretch left ner outBide the flag according to the holder of the red, though many said she was iD. The mare who had in the earlier part of the day paced the last half in 1:06 was sold in the pojls at §200 to $56 for the field. After she was out Almout Patchen won with ease the last heat in 2:28, showing what an awful exhibition Cricket would have made of them had she been left in it. Tbe first race a special for named horses had five starters, Mattie P., Maud H, Rockwood, Laura Z and "Whalebone. Maud H driven by Goldsmith, was immediately maie fav- orite at $50, to $34 for the field and $15 for Laura Z. A start was made the sixth time up with Whalebone off his feet and breaking again on tbe turn he had a prominent position in the rear all through. Rockwood and Mattie P went away together round the turn and Rockwood drew out up the back passing the quarter a length in front of Mattie P with Maud three lengths back and Laura two further in the rear. Rock- wood trotting steadily, passed the half three leneths in front of Maud, four in front of the other pair. Goldsmith closed up on the upper turn being only a half a length behind at the head of the Btretch with Laura four lengths back and Mittie a length further back. Maud went past Rockwood before the seven furlongs and the latter breaking just before the draw- gate was closely beaten by Maud who finished a length in front. Laura Z six lengths back third, and Mattie P three lengths further behind fourth, Whalebone last. Time 2:32£. Mutualspaid $8.10 Second heat.— Maud H sold readily for $50 to S25 for the whole field. The word wae given the second time up and all five went away well but Laura broke jnst before the turn and then "Whalebone went but putting hia foot down right gained by it. Maud and Rockwood had meanwhile been showing the way and at the quarter Maud was a length in front of Rock- wood three lengths in front of Whalebone with Mattie P at his wheel and Laura fifteen lengths back. Whalebone run- ning and trotting at intervals got up to Mind at the half an-1 the mare breaking had two lengths lead to tbe turn when Mand again went up to him and despite a handy break or two on Whalebone's part the mare drew away from him turning into the stretch two lengths in front of Mattie P, two lengths ahead of Whalebone ahd Rockwood. Mattie came fast in the stretch and when Maud broke afurloog from home looked a sure winner but Goldsmith got his mare to work in good shape and beat her out ahead, the other three at the drawgate. The heat was given to Mattie P. Time 2:27J. Mutualspaid $11.50. Third beat. — Pools now sold at a livelier rate, Maud $50, Mattie $40 and tbe field $25. Af.-.-r several attempts the word was given and Whalebone at once broke, and was ever after a moderate last. Mattie and Rock- wood set the pace to half way round the turn when Rockwood to^kaclear lead, passing the qnaiter a length in front of Mattie, and Maud level rive lengths in front of Laura. Mattie went rigbt up to Rockwood at the half, and when he broke she took a two lengths lead round the upper turn, with Rockwood a length in front of Maud. Both closed upon Mattie oo the torn, and at the head of the stretch Goldsmith, with Maud, was a short length behind after being carried out very wide. A pretty race took place all the way down the stretch, but Maud br.ke just before the drawgate, and Mattie won by two lengths, Maud a neck in front of Rockwood. same in advance of Lmra, with Whale- bone last. Time, 2-30+. Mutnals paid $10.90 Fourth heat — Mattie P. was now made a red hot favorite at $IU0 to $25 for the whole field. Corey was taken out and Dustin put up behind Rockwood. The word was given the third time up, with Laura Z a length back. Mattie P. set tbe pace round the turn, passing the half a 'engtb and a half in front of Miud, who broke just before the quarter, and Roekwood a length back and tbree lengths in front of Laura. Rockwood went past Maud bef ire tbe three-eighths pole and she broke, but catching again was level with him at the half, two lengths behind Maltie, and getting a little tiie best of it round the turn, was only a length behind at the head of the stretch, with Rockwood and Laura close up. Mattie, how* ever, proved the steadiest, and the others all breaking before tho wire, she won handily by two lengths, Maud two lengths in front of Laura Z., three lengths ahead of Rockwood. and Whalebone a bad last.

Sister V. had so readily beaten two of the quartette (Mary Lou and Wanda) all down the line, that $25 was the best offer against $200 for Sister. The word was given the fourth time up. Mary Lon and Wanda went out in front for a furlong, when Mary Lou broke and Wanda led past the quarter, with Mary Lou and Sister second and third a length apart. Wanda kept going on, pass- ing the half two lengths in front of Si&ter, a length and a half in front of Mary Lou, five lengths in front of Nona Y. Sister went up to Wanda on the turn, and at the head of the stretch they were about level a length in front of Mary Lou, who broke, running for forty yardB, but catching again, went on in hot pursuit, Sister, however, had the race well in hand, winning, pulling up by two lengths, Mary Lou getting up just in time to beat Wanda a head for second place, Nona a bad third. Time, 2:19$. Mutuals paid $6.10. Second heat — No pools sold. The third time up the word was given. Sister going very steadily, went round the turn a length in front and increased it two at the quarter, with Wanda second, a lerjgthand a half in front of Mary Lou, four lengths in advance of Nona Y. The order was unchanged all the way to the head of the stretch, Nona Y. running round the torn: Vioget made a hard drive down the stretch, but Wanda broke a furlong from home and swerved in behind Sister, who won readily by three lengths, Mary .Lou getting the place a head in front of Wanda, Nona Y., dead lame, a bad last. Time, 2:21 1. Mutuals paid $S.95 on Mary Lou for place. Third heat — McDowell drovo Wanda at the owner's request. The word was given the second*4ime up, with Wauda a length in front, and going fast she took the pole on the turn, passing the quarter two lengths in front of Sister, three leogths ahead of Lou. Wanda kept up the pace and retained her advantage until the upper turn, when Sister closed up, being, only a length behind at the head of the stretch, and coming well out from the pole, trotted clean away from Wanda and wod, polling np by two lengths, Mary Lon just b ating Wanda, who tired badly, for the place, Nona just intide.

Belle Button had the pole, Patchen next, then Cricket and Winsluw on the outBide. After half an hour's scoring the word was given with Cricket a length behind, and attempting to go through at the turn she broke all to pieces, and Button going on had four lengths lead of Patchen and WiobIow at the quarter, with Cricket twenty lengths back aDd breaking to a stand- still at the quarter.

Tbe attendance at tho Park all day was much the best of tbe meeting so far. In the morning all the available space in the g'and stands was ocoupied by the spectators who wit- nessed the final act of the Ladies' Biding Tournament. Thir- teen equestriennes competed for the prizes, and after (he va- rious exercieeB— tilting at tbe ring bardie, jumping, etc., bad been gone through, the Directors awarded the prizes.

LaRue, C. Green and J. D. Carr. Starter — C. H. Miles. The afternoon races attracted a larger crowd than had pre- viously been seen on the grounds this year. Five running races were on the programme, and though fields were small. great interest was taken in the sport. The first race, a mile for two year olds, with penalties and allowances, Baw L. J. Rose's Conrad defeat his two opponents, at 8 lbs. difference in the weights, and though the general crowd eaid Lodowio should have won. I think Conrad had a little in hand. The mile and a half for three-year-olds proved the certainty it was expected to be for L. U. Shippee's Take Notice, and the mile da-.h was won by M. Storn's Marigold after a light fin- ish with Daisy D. The mile and a half, to every one's sur- prise, wa9 won by the outsider of the trio Nabeau, who after making all the running, won in a canter by half a dozen lengths. The last race turned out to be another surprise as Fanny F, after running behind all the way until a furlong from home, moved up and apparently could have gone away any moment, but Courtney sat still and jast won in tbe last stride— admirable judgment as it turned out but a little too close for these times. C. H. Mills, the starter, was a marked succees, so much so that it is presumable, considering the lack of even average talent in that direction, he will be given a chance further down the line. First race. The California Annual Stake had onlv three starters, L. J- Rose's brown colt Conrad who had a three pound penalty, while Lodowic and Mero had five pounds al- lowance. Pools Bold slowly at $40 for Conrad to $26 for the otber two as a field. After one breakaway the flag was dropped with all three well in motion and together. Conrad at once took the lead and went up the back stretch two lengths in front of the others, of whom Mero soon dropped back and Lodowic closing np after passing the half was al- most level with the leader at the head of the Btretch and both ridden out. Conrad patiently ridden by Roach was just squeezed out a neck in front, Lodowic second and Mero a bad third. Time, 1:43£. Mutnals paid $8.75. SUMMARY.

The closing day of the State Fair drew a tremendous crowd to the park in the early morning. The stock parade with all the winners decorated with ribbons attracted almost everyone in the city white before tbe afternoon programme was started a big crowd filled the stands and enclosures al- most too full. The judges in the afternoon were H. M. La Rue, C. Green and J. BoggB. Timers, H. J. Agnew, F. C. De Long and W. Corbitt. Three races and t .vo walk overs were one the programme. The brst race for the 2.35 class had six starters, bnt really lay between Frank M and Silas Skinner, the former winning in handy style. The pace was really a good thing for Al- mont Patchen who was only opposed by Rupee, the three- year old Wilkes pacer, and when Goldsmith found out Pat- chen was too good for him he stopped driving in the stretch. Judge La Rue ordered him to drive the horse out faster in the 1 Li - 1 heat but Goldsmith gave up a furlong from home when he found it useless and showed his good judgment in doing so, for there is no advantage to be gained in punish- ing a young horse when it is palpable to even an ordinary observer that he is beaten. The last race of the day for named horses had four starters, Lathom Almont took the first heat, Clay Duke the second, and in ihe last beat which was trotted at 6:15 Clay Duke between trotting and running shut the others out and was given all the money. A more equitable decision would have been to either place him or call it no heat. The four year old trotting stake, which originally had six nominations, was walked over for by Margaret S. who fright- ened away all her intended competitors and showed what a marvellous turn of Bpeed she possesses by coming the last halt in 1:04^. Tbe three year old stake which also bad six nominations had only one paid up by Regal Wilkes who jogged to the upper turn and came down the stretch in 34 seconds. First race, 2:35 class, bad six starters aud pools sold slow- ly at $30 Frank H., $15 Skinner and $5 for tbe held. After a long scoring and various threats by the judgeB a start was effected with Foxy V. two lengths behind. Frank M. at once went to the front and led round the turn but broke be- fore the quarter, and although he caught cleverly be lost by it and passed the quarter two lengths in front of Skinner with Ladywell at his wheel, Clara Z, itwo lengths behind, Una three lengths further baok and Foxy b've lengths in the rear. Frank M. and Skinner maintained their relative po- sitions, while tbe others dropped further back and Foxy was soon out of it. Frank going very steadily was three lengths in front of Skinner on the upper turn with Ladywell twelve lengths behind and two lengths in front of Clara Z. the same distance in front of Una Wilkes, twenty lengths in front of Foxy. Skinner was driven hard down the stretch, but could never catch Frank M. who won with a little in hand by a length, the third horse sixty yards back. Lady- well driven out beat Clara Z. a length for third place with Una Wilkes four lengths back and Foxy distanced. Time, 2:21. Mutuals paid $10 65. Second heat— Pools sold Frank M $50 to §20 for the whole field. The word was given the third time up. Ladywell broke before the turn, and Una Wilkes on the turn, while Frank M, with Skinner on his wheel, cut out the work, pass- iog the quarter a length apart, Clera Z three lengths back, and Una the same distance back fourth, two lengths in front of Ladywell. Una Wilkes broke at the three-eighths pole and dropped back last, while Frank and Skinner gradually drew away from the held, going round the upper turn a length apart, with Clara ten" lengths back, eight lengths in front of Ladywell, with Una at her wheel. Clara broke in the stretch and dropped back laet, while Skinner went right up to Frank and carried him off his feet 100 yards from home, and going on, won the heat by three lengths. Sixty yards back came Ladywell and Una, making a hard fight for third place, Una finishing a neck in front of Ladywell, both off their feet, and Clara three lengths back. Ladywell was given third place. Time, 2:22i. Mutuals paid $9.95 Third heat— Frank M'still sold favorite, biingiog $25 to $20for the whole rieW. The word was given alter half a dozen attempts. Una Wilkes broke just before leaving the stretch, and Clara broke immediately after. Skinner on the inside had a little tbe best of Frank round the turn and passed the quarter with Frank at his wheel, and Ladywell three lengths back, seven in front of Clara Z, three lengthe ahead of Una Wilkes. Frank went up to Skinner's head at the half and carried him to a break, goirig round the upper turn five lengths in the lead, Skinner Becond, three lengths in front of Ladywell, an open length ahead of Clara, with Una last. The heat was never in doubt after this as Frank won in easy style, two lengths in front of Skinner, five lengths in advance of Ladywell, three lengths clear of Clara, tiring fast, and Una Wilkes pulling ud last, Time, 2:23J. Mutuals paid $9.70. Fourth heat— Pools now sold Frank SI $20 to $9 for the field. The judges warned McGraw that they had heard he was only out for one heat and that if he did not do bis best, etc., they would make it hot. The second time up tbe word was given. Una broke almost immediately, and Skinner broke just as he left the&tretch, losiogtwo lengths by it, and Frank M passed the quarter two lengths in front of Ladywell with Skinner at her wheel, Clara three lengths back, and Cna foor lengths in the rear. Skinner got to Ladywell's head at the half, three lengths behind Frank M, and Ladywell fell back on the turn, Skinner being three lengths behind Frank at the head of the stretch, with Ladywell two lengths behind Skinner.

ISth, 1890, at Sacramento. This was one of the most exciting games ever played be- tween the above teams. The attendance though small, which was due to the races being a strong counter attraction, was highly appreciative and the many bits of good playing were warmly applauded. Goodenough opened the first inning by making a double to right field- Roberts was safe on Fad* ger's fumble and Bowman's short Bingle advanced each a base. A passed ball permitted Goodenough to Bcore end Roberts came home on Stockwell's error of McHale's fly. Two runs for Sicrsmento and all they secured in the game. The Stocktons were onable to do anything with Harper's de- livery all through the game and scored their only run in the eighth, through misplays of the Senators. "Wilson's first man up, took first on Harper's mofi'and Pasche got to the same bag on Godar's low throw of his ground hit to catch Wilson at second. Perrott struck out but Holliday took his base on balls, tilling the cushions. Then FogarLy struck out. Selna was patient and reached the initial on balls forcing home "Wilson. Stockwell made the third strike out for the inning and Wilson's was the only run for the Stocktons in the game. The fielding of both teams was splendid with the exception of the work of the short stops, Fudger and Daly. The very rough condition of the ground of their territory, how- ever, fully explains their apparently ragged work. Charley Sweeney's umpiring was very satisfactory. The score.

Friday, Sept. 19th, 1S90 at Oakland. Carsey and Lohman did very indifferent battery work in this game, and the Friscos immediately got the hang of the "Kids' " curves, making three singles and three sacrifices in the first inning, which together with a base on balls snd Cantillian's poor throw, sent five men over the robber and gave them a mighty lead. This rather disheartened the usu- ally frisky Colonels, for they didn't get a single hit cfTLook- abaugh till the fourth, when Danny Sweeney banged one to center. Tbey scored one run, however, in the fifth on Charley O'Neill's double to left, and sacrifices by McDonald and N. O'Neill. Another came in in the seventh on Dan gan'e hit, Everett's error and McDonald's double. Two more in the ninth was their limit, which were produced by Midget Sweeney's second hit, Everett's error, Dangan's sacrifice and safe hits by C. O'Neill. McDonald and Tip O'Neill. The Metropolitans added two runs to their five in each the fifth and the eighth, and so took the game easily. The game put up by the Friscos was of a pretty character, no leBS than thirteen of the Oaklands being retired on fly hits. Outside of the battery the Colonels also fitlded well.

Both teams backed up their pitchers well, the only player doing poor work being Daly, whose arm was in bad condition. The Senators tied the score in the second inning and neither side tallied again till the seventh, the Senators then making two runs, winning the game thereby. Hoffman's home run followed by singles of Goodenough and Roberts and Daly's Sacrifice produced the winning runs. Both pitchers' work was effective except in the innings in which the runs were made. Hoffman's long hitting and Goodenough'e stick work was a featuie of the batting. Bowman and Armstrong caught very strongly not allowing a single base to bepilfeied. Roberts' two put outs were magnificent catches and McHale throwing men out on hits was another interesting f atnre. Sweeney again umpiring Bplendidly. The score: Sacramektos. SACRAMENTO vs. STOCKTON. Saturday, Sept 20th, 1890, at Sacramento. A good attendance saw the Senators "do up*' the Stock- tons to the Queen's taste last Saturday. The Gas City boys found it impossible to do anything with Harper's delivery, while Perrott's curves were kindly taken to. The Senators put up a magnificent game in the field, the only errois of the side being made by Goodenough, and as the ball was a most difficult one to get. it was partially excusable. The Stocktons did not play their regular game, errors in the out and infield, proving costly. In the third inning, Armstrong was hit in the stomach by a foul tip and remained unconscious for ten minutes. Stockwell caught the game out in good shape. The hittiDg of the Sacramentos was especially heavy, Roberts and Goodenough again making long drives. McHale distinguished himself by his clever work in right field, and Hoffman, who took Daly's place, filled the position very acceptably. The other members of the Saoramento team put np their usual finished game. Sweeney's umpiring was very fine.

SAN FRANCISCOS vs. OAKLANDS. Saturday, Sept. 20th, 1S90 at San Francisco. Carsey had his speed, his carves and his head with him in this game, and kept the slugging Friscos down to four single bits. On the other hand, Coaghlin was hit freely, Dungan's triple in first inning scoring three men, while two more came home on Lob. man's hit and errors of the infield. This was the same beginning as their opponents made the day previous, and they won the game in the same easy manner. Although there were several glaring errors made, and the score very one Bided, there were also some very attractive , and commendable work done by both teams. Ebright, on aocount of a sprained finger, played right, and Stevens poorly filled his position at third. The work of Cantillion, McDon- ald and Shea in the infield and the outfielding of Sweeney, Levy, Ebright and Hanley, was of a high order. Veacb, Cantillion, Sweeney, Dungan, Lohman and N. O'Neill all hit hard and well. The tcore. OAKLANDS vs. SACRAMENTO. Sunday, Sept. 21st, 1890, at San Francisco. The Senators were picked as sure winners in this game, odds of 10 to 8 being freely laid on them, but Shaw was their stumbling block and the Colonels had an easy victory. The day was cold and cheerless, nevertheless, some five thousand people filled the stands and bleachers. Lohman was sick and unable to play, so Robinson secured the services of Dave Levy, late of the Portlands. Levy handled the erratic Shaw in splendid form. The cold weather had a bad effect on all the members of the Sacramento team and more particularly on Hoffman, whose work in the box was very poor. After being hit hard for seven innings, and when there was no possibility of the Senators winning the game, Manager En- right foolishly put in Harper, who was on the bench, to finish the game out. Harper was chilled through and consequently had no command of the ball. For the two innings in which he was in the box, he gave four men bases on balls, hit two others, and was touched out for a single, double and triple, altogether augmenting the Colonels score five runs and mak- ing their aggregate, thirteen. The Senators rans came in slowly and were principally made by the few errors credited the Oaklands. McDonald, Dungan and Dooleydid some very clever work at the bat, while their general fielding was excel- lent. Prominent features were a magnificent catch of Good- enough's, of Lew's long fly in the third, Reitz's stop and throw of C. O'Neill's hard hit in the fifth and McHale's fast field and throw out to first of McDonald's seemingly safe hit. The score; Oakla nd.

The Frisco's wagon tongaes collided with sufficient force against Mike Eilroy'a carves to entitle them to a representa- tion in the score for fifteen hits of whichone was a home run, auother a triple, and three doubles, makiog a total of twenty- three bases which simmered down produced ten runs, of which six were earned.

Thursday, sept. 25th, 1S90, at San Fsancisco. The Stocktons seldom played a better game than this one, but stupid work at critical points loBt it. for them. With a lead of two to nothing at the beginning of the seventh in- ning, Vogt fell in a trance, and, through hia blunders, gave the Colonels two runs. Had the Gas City boys hit in the ninth inning, they could have pulled out on top as they had two men on bases with no one out. Fudger and Wilson failed to hit the ball, however, and a good chance for scoring was loBt. In the tenth a base on balls, Dboley's hit, followed by Pache's error, Dungan's sacrifice and Shaw's single, gave the Oaklands two runs and the game. Carsey's work in the bos was splendid, but his support at the receiving end was only fair. The Stocktons' runs came in by men being safe in the first and sixth innings on poor throws by McDonald and N. O'Neill, and the runners were batted home by safe hits. The fielding was generally clever, the work in the outfield being of a magnificent character. C. O'Neill, Hoffman, Wil- 800, Fogarty, N. O'Neill and Stockwell all made phenomenal catches, for which they were liberally applauded. Sweeney's judicious umpiring was also a feature. The score Oakland. ab b.bh.sb.fo.a. e. Cantillian, 2b.

Stockwell 's work at the bat and in the field shows a big falling off this season. Dave Levy did not Bign with the Colonels, but will finish the season out with the Stocktons. Bube Levy still leads the race as the most popular player in the California League. Danny Sweeney is second. Charley Tillson received an offer from the Sacramento team this week, but declined to accept it for business rea- sons. DiokNagle. well known here as a rising player, umpired the Fresno-Merced game last Sunday, and gave perfect satis- faction. "Old man" Dallas, formerly with S'ookton, played a Great game at short for the Meroeds recently, accepting eleven of twelve chances offered. The Sporting News of this week contains an exoelleet like- ness of "Pop" Swett, Californias prize catcher, now with the Boston Brotherhood team. Stockton is well pleased with "Sjnny Hoffman," whose general fielding, batting and base running is as good as that of any player in the team. Mike DePangher will take a team to Fresno during fair week to play that team two games for a purse of Two Hun- dred Dollars each game. Pitcher Bakely, of the Cleveland Brotherhood team, has been suepended for the rest of the season, without pay, for excessive indulgence in liquor. Ed Crane, of the New Yorks, who was here with the Phil- adelphias in '88, will be one of the Comiskey party on their California-Mexico tour this winter. Including last Sunday each team in the Pacific Northwest League bad played 82 eames, of which the Spokanes won 53, Tacoma 44, Seattle 42 and Portland 25. Ten of the players now with the BoBton (N L ) team will in all probability be with the same team next season. Lou Hardie is not mentioned among those who are to be retained. The Boston Players' League Club has cleared $25,000 over and above all expenses, including the fitting up of their grounds, which are valued at $30,000, a remarkable showing for the first year. Old Jack Cullen alternates with Matt Stanley behind the bat for Fresno. When Cullen catches Stanley is seen on first base, and when the youngster is behind the bat "TJnole Jack" plays in the outfield. The managers promise that next season the grounds at Haight St. will be second to none in the country. A number of much needed improvements will be made at an outlay of almost four thousand dollars.

List Sunday Dave Levy caught two games, one amateur and the other the professional game in the afternoon. A singular coincidence in each game, be had the same nnmber of put out outs and assists and the same fielding average. George Miller has invented a new coaching gag. Hecker was caught between the bases at Brooklyn, and while the men were trying to run him down Miller stood on the lines and yelled: "Compromisp, Heck! Compromise!" But Heck couldn't do it and was pnt out. A team composed of the Chios go reporters recently de- feated the Jenney and Graham team 2 to 1, making their eighth consecutive victory. The Frisco's reporters recently contemplated forming a team to do battle with Dixey's Adon- is nine, but on hearing of the strength of the theatrical ball tossers, were frightened out of playing. Ed Austin, the base ball manager of the Fresno team, on his return from practicing the champions, yesterday, found that he had become the father of two twin boys. This is the original Fresno battery. The pitcher weighs four pounds and the catcher six. The charming mother as umpire is doing well, and Ed. is the happiest man in town. — Exchange. It is Baid that over a thousand dollars changed hands on the result of the Santa Bosa — Vallejo game last Sunday. The majority of the bets W9re not made, however, till the Santa Bosas had a "cinch" of 7 to 0 on the game, when there was plenty of money offered on them. The Vallejos friends were "game" and took np several wagers at elight odds. The Pacific North West League is full of ex-Inter State League players just at present. With the Portland Club is Breckenridge, of Burlington. Tacoma has Manassau, Ful- ler, Van Zant and Stephens, of Burlington; Wright of Evans- ville, and Strouthers and Fanning, of DavenDort. Peeples, of Quincy; Turner, of Peoria, and Phillips, of Burlington, are with Spokane and Snyder, of Terre Haute; Pender, of Dav- enport; France, of Burlington, and Fisher, of Quincy, with Seattle. Billy Cooney, who recently returned from the north, re- ports that base ball is still enjoying a big boom up there. Every town of any consequence has its ball teams, and some of the minor organizations are composed of very clever play- ers. The Salem team, which was managed by Wm. Boggs, son of SeDator Boggs, had the following ; well known players in its ranks: Leveque and Crosby, pitchers; Paul McCarthy, catcher; Morgan, first base: Cooney, second base; Booth, third base; Howard, short stop; Smith, left field; Leve- que or Crosby center and Mellen right field. Next season it is proposed to organize a regular league to be known as the Willamette Valley League and which will include teams from Portland, Salem, Albany and McMinville or Corvallis. Many people wonder why it is that the best fielder some- times muffd a fly that seems right in his hands. The ex- planation is easy — they can't hold them. A ball struck in a certain way — Elmer Smith saya it is with the end of the bat — while it rises in the air, has a twistine motion that is as hard to explain as as a curved ball. When it turns to come down, instead of falling sixteen feet the first second in an- swer to the power of gravity, it falls with the swiftness of a line hit, often tearing through the hands of a fielder. A few players have discovered the Becret of hitting this kind of a ball in knocking "fungo^fliesandhave great sport in watching the fielders drop flies in practice. There is a difference in the flies knocked off the different pitches. The Kansas City outfielders Bay that flies hit while Swartzel is in the box come down harder than those of the other pitchers. — Kansas City Star. THE STAR OT THE CLDB.

The champion slngger of the cbampl on nine. The Fresco Base Ball Team. Fresno can certainly feel proud of her ball team. Man- ager Edward Austin's indefatigable efforts to have bis city represented by a team of efficient and gentlemanly ball play- ers, has been orowued to the fullest measure with success But recently organized, the Fresnos can boast of twelve con- secutive viotories won from the strongest teams in tbe San Joaquin Valley. Their grounds located within the city limits and being passed by two lines of street cars, are the finest in the State excepting those of the California League cities. The grand stand is elegant and commodious, having a seating capacity for a thousand persons, while the "bleachers" will seat as many more. A nnmber of private boxes are soon to be erected and plans are laid for the cmstrnction of a bicycle track which will encircle the field. Large and constantlv in- creasing audiences have been attracted by the games, "and the players work of the ci-operative plan, all being we'll sat- isfied with the remuneration they receive. The team is composed of the following players, nearlv all of whom have made excellent reputations on many diamonds: Pitchers, Chas. Chase, Fred Pier; catchers, Matt Stanley John Cullen; intielders, Kobt. Thurman, Harry Utt James Ward, Arthur Brittan, Matt Stanley; out fielders, J. E." Drum, Rodney Waggoner, J. Cullen, Guy and Hugh Dyer. Charley or "Pokey" Chase, as he is familiarly' called scarcely needs an introduction to the base ball public of this State, as he hes been seen in many championship games for the past few years with the Sacramento, Stockton and San Francisco teams. He is a most earnest worker, possesses great speed, has some very deceptive curves and lately has had good control of the ball, the lack of which was, when with the California League teams, his greatest drawback Fred Pier commenced his base ball career with a prominent amateur team iu Los Angeles, and shortly afterward pitched very successfully with the team representing that city. Otto Young, late of the Friscos and Stocktons, also twirled "for the same team. Pier has speed, fine curves, and that most im- portant requisite '-a good head," and is a most promising twirler. B Old Jack Cullen or "Uncle Jack" is one of the "land marks" of the profession, fie was known here way back in the seventies when he caught for the Eagles and AthleticB Collen captains the Fresnos and is immensely popular with the "raisin growers." He is hitting the ball hard and with great frequency, and does most efficient work behind the bat He occasionally plays in the field where his work is alwaya of a high order. Young Matt Stanley, the "comer of them all," alternates behind the bat with Cullen, and when not in that position guards firBt base. Stanley is certainly one of the moBt promising yoong catchers in the business. He first attracted the attention of the Eastern ball players while playing with the Buckeyes at Central Park in 1886. He soon joined the famous Alcazar team, handling the speedy deliv- eries of PqtcgII and Looghran perfectly. After the disband- ment of that team, he played with the Del ITontes and Mer- ceds, he and "Chief" Borchers being the battery for the latter team. Last year and the fore part of this season saw Stanley receiving the erratic delivery of "Speedy" McDonald with the E. T. Aliens of the Amateur League. When Vogt, of the Stocktons, was disabled and the team without a capable catcher, Stanley caught Perrott, Kilroy and Hapeman in four games and did admirable work. His record was 14 pnt outs, 5 assists and 2 errors, giving him a very creditable per- centage of 910, and although all three pitchers were new to^him be had but one passed ball in the four games. Were it not for the fact that Doane and Armstrong were then on their way to fulfill their engagements, Stanley would have been retained by the Stockton management. The young backstop's work while with the Fresnos has been excellent in every respect and he is among the forsmost in the hitting. On and off the diamond Stanley is known by his quiet and" gentlemanly disposition. Harry Utt, who is stationed at second base has played with many interior teams, notably, the Stocktons, Marysvilles Willows and Santa Bosas. Besides being a good infielder' he is a clever backstop aud strong hitter. Utt is keeping up with the procession in all departments of the game. "Little Jimmie" Ward, late of the Tacomas, is the Fresnos short- stop. Ward is a clever infielder, covering lots of territory, and handles ground balls with perfect ease besides being a most accurate thrower. He is also a good "sticker" and his amusing sayings on the coachirg lines has made him a warm favorite with everyone. Ward played in Kansas in '87, with Santa Fe, of the Territorial League of New Mexico, in '88, and with the Colorado State League in '89. Brittan, who was also released from Tacoma with Ward and Hoffman, led the third basemen of the Kansas League in both hittingand fielding in 'S8. He was with the champion Pueblo (Col) team last year, of which team Lookabaugh, Stevens and Buchan were also members. He is a brainy player, good bitter and base runner and a most desirable acquisition to the team. "Deacon" Thurman. from Kansas, is also a fine infielder and is the heaviest hitter in the team: Drum, the center- fielder, also hails from the"Cow-boyState,"and is credited with being one of the speediest base runners in the country. He is also a splendid hitter and fast fielder. Eodney Waggoner the "kid," is a Fresno boy who gives great promise. He only lacks experience, and thus far has done good reliable work in the field, on the paths and at the bat. Guy and Hugh Dyer are both college players and have demonstrated the fact that their speedy company is none too fast for them. Altogether, the team as at present constituted is one of the strongest in tbe State, and teams of the big league would have to play ball to defeat them. The Fresnos uniform is a pretty shade of navy blue and white trimminga, and is at once attractive and servicable. Marria&re Bells. Last Wednesday afternoon in the presence of many well- wishing friends Mr. Edward J. Stapleton was united to Miss Libbie Kicker in marriage. The Kev. Father Haupts per- formed the beautiful and impressive ceremony of the Cath- olic Church, which took place at the residence of the brides parents in Sacramento. John J. Daly was the best man and Miss Minnie MoGinnes was the bridesmaid. The happy couple were the recipient cf many handsome presents, and when departing on the train for San Franoisco were deluged with showers of rice. The genial captain's bride id a charming, pretty and accomplished young lady just turned eighteen of a decided brunette type. Her "lord and master" is the jovial and intellectual first baseman and captain of tbe Sacramento team, and besides being a most clever exponent of the National game, is a gentleman of rare musical attainments and culture.

The Will & Fincks have some way disposed of the "hoodoo" that affectionately lingered around them during the mouth of August, and have commenced playing ball in their old time form . Their last two victories were from the "lead- ers," defeating the Santa Rosas on the 14th, and last Sunday capturing a good game from the Reports. Howell and Monet faced each other and both pitched high class ball, the errors made by both Bides accounting for the runs. Green and Levy both gave their pitchers splendid support. In the fore part of the contest errors were frequent, but after the fourth inning both teams steadied down and played out an admirable game. The "Giants" scored two runs in the first inning on hits by Tillson and Farrell, and two errors made by Sharp. The fourth was a disastrous inning tor the * 'Newsies," errors by Creamer, Thompson and Htarty and a base on balls allow- ing the Fincks two more tallies. They added another in the eighth, Deeney securing his base on balls, took second on a passed ball, stole third and scored on Coleman's sacrifice. The Reports scored their first run in the third, Mclntyre being safe on Farrell's poor throw of his hit of which a mar- vellous stoi. was made. Thompson hit safely to oenter and the ball passing Sullivan, Mclntyre came home. In the next inning Sharp reached first on Coleman's muff of his high fly, took second on Deeney's error by allowing Levy's throw to pass him, and on Tillson's high throw to head him off at third, Sharp scampered home with the second and last run of his team. Tillson and Thompson led the hitting with two hits each, one of Tillson's being a double. Particular features were beautiful catches made by Conway, Coleman and Mc lntyre, a phenomenal oue hand pickup over second base and throw out by Thompson, and Dnnphy's, Tillson's and Del- mas' clever inSelding.

Preceeded by the Mare Island Brass Band and followed by four hundred loyal constituents, who had ohartered a special train, tue Vallejo baseball team paraded through the streets of Santa Rosa last Sunday. It was to be a game of games and one which the "Marines" were moat anxious to take. The Santa Rosa boys were equally desirous of winning, as here- tofore in tu°ir contests with the "Navy Yarders" they came off second best on four occasions. Neither side was imbued with confidence, and over anxiousness on the part of Grace's men, was probably the cause of the many errors accumulated by their best players. But Callen pitched a masterly game, keeping the Vallejos down to a Bingle hit, and to his clever work the Santa Rosa's victory is principally due. Baltz was not bit hard but the "safeties" came at times when they did the most good and aided by live sacrifices, eight bases on balls, three men hit and two wild pitches together with six good sized ertors of the Vallejo infield, easily allowed the Santa Rosan's to roll up nine runs, not one of which was earned. The Vallejos had things uncomfortably warm for their opponents at the end of their sixth inning having made seven runs and almost tyiug the Bor-re. At thiB fcUce of 'he game, Kelly, the Santa Rosas first baseman, retired and llii- len took his place. Arlett tilled the vacancy oaused by Hn. Jen's change of position, and filled it admirably, accepting in a most finished manner, seven difficult chances in three innings. It is thought by many that his timely assistance materially lessened the Vallejo's chances of winning. Hulen was the only player who did any hitting with the exception of Gimmel who sacrificed three times. McCarthy and Arlett did the only creditable fielding in the game. Pete Meegan umpired the game very satisfactorily, not a single decision calliDg forth a dissenting voice.

Merced was again defeated by the invincible Fresnos on their own ground, last Sunday. The Fresnos took a big lead from the start, by hitting English, and assisted by the Mer- ced's'errors. "Shadow" Pier pitched for the Fresnos, and did good work, keeping the hits made off him well scattered. He was rendered fine support from Matt Stanley at the receiving end, and the team generally. English was not hit any harder than Pier, but the Fresnos earned two runs off him by bunching their hits, while bis teams errors occurred at disastrous moments. Stanley, Brittan, Chase, Thomma and Dallas did fouie very strong hitting, and the fielding of Dallas, Cullen, Utt, Dyer and English was most praise- worthy. The score.

The above teams played a fine game last Sunday, in which the Port Costas were victories by reason of the B lustra's er- rors occuring at critical times. Both pitchers, Seymour and Tillman pitched fine ball, four hits only being made by each team, whila they were very steady in the matter of bases on balls. 8eymour, however, was more effective than his op- ponent when men were on bases, striking out eight of the Suisuns. Larkin and Gibbs both handled their pitchers' de- livery in good shape, the former throwing out seven men at bases. Molnnis, the short stop af the victors, carried off the honors of the day, making three safe hits for as many times up, and having two runs, two steals and a clean fielding re. cord. The fh-Bt base work of Traynor and O'Neill was also clever. A large crowd witnessed the game. The score: POBT COBTA.

There has been oDe very weak spot in that team, — first base, and Coou- ey will undoubtedly be signed to play that positioD. Cooney is one of the in .- ■ v i «■ t hitter* ever seen on a local diamond and is a famous all round player, base rnnner and coacher. He ought to be of great benefit to the "Newsies." Amateur Short Hits. The Reports have lost two straight. The Santa Rosa's are now in the lead. The "Young Giants" are again coming to the front. Centertielder Deane may soon be Been with the Sports. Dick Nagle, of the Merceds, has not done any work of late with his team. Joe Levegue is expected home shortly. He has been pitching magnificent ball for the SalemB. Fresno is well off for catchers, having four in the teame They are Cullen, Stanley, Ward and Utt. Dave Levy's signing with the Colonels makes a big gap in an important position in the Will & Finok team. Lonny Delrr as' absence from the Young Giants is accounted for by an injury he sustained in a game on the 6th in-t. The next time the Vallejos play at Santa Robs they will win the game, and then send for the band. — Vallejj Chron- icle. The "Young Giants" and "Railroaders" battle to-morrow at the Height St. grounds for a purse of Two Hundred Dol- lars. The new Bnrlingtons or Railroaders have made a great be- ginning. They have won the three games contested in thus far, hands down. McClure, who plays right field for the Merceds, and who has umpired some games very satisfactorily, is editorially connected with an interior newspaper. At the benefit game for Billy Kennedy, played at Oakland last Sunday, the Bnrlingtons defeated the Aliens 9 to 1. A. neat little sum was raised for the beneficiary. Hen Stultz the "cracker jack", first baseman of the Santa Rosas has not been playing wiih the team lately, as he is "doing" the racing circuit. Hen is one of the best first baseman in the amateur ranks and his loss is greatly felt by his team. What's the matter with some team making it an object for Frank Loughran to sign wiih them. Here is a pitcher who is capable of helping any of them "out of a hole." and whose services can be secured at a reasonable figure. Look him up, yon managers with losing teams. Keller has his lines out for Billy Cooney, and may possibly get him as Strand has been anxious to play first base for the Reports for some time, and with Strand on first the Report team will be complete. Ashman very sensibly does not favor changes in his team and so Cooney may have an opportunity of signing with the "Sports." The E & O E team is soon to reorganize under the man" agement of Mr. Dick Belcher, who was for several years Cap- tain of the Amherst College t°am and who was seen early this season with the Tacomas. The battery will be Reed, a clev- er University pitcher and Billings of the California Amateur League. Woolrioh, Boyd, Hittell, Creely, Belcher, Beck and Campbell, who played with the team in the spring schedule will also be seen "in the ranks" again. Pitoher Lobman has been released from the Aliens. Man- ager Keller is on the lookout for a good twirler and may sign either Walcott or Maloney. Waloott pitched with the Bur- lington Routes in the forepart of the season very successfully and Mahoney. though but recently a pitcher is one of the cleverest young ball players in the country. Mibony pitched a great game ng-iiust the Rincons in the Native Sons games striking out fifteen and only nine hits were made off him by a team wbich numbered suoh hitters as Blakiaton, Carroll, Finn, Fitzler, Pbilpo*. et, at.

A special correspondent of the Breeder and Sportsman was present at the athletic games which were held at Sacra- mento on the 17th inst., and we are able this week to pub- lish a full and graphio discription of the results. In the cycling world matters are booming. The contests which are announced to come off under the joint auspices of the Olympio Athletio Club and Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association are cansiog the Amateurs to remain in training, and good sport may be looked forward to during the winter moDths . ATHLETICS AT SACRAMENTO. Grand Running" and a Larg*e Audience. Sklllman and tiarrlson Olstlngulsh Themselves. Some months ago the idea occurred to Walter A. Scott, Captain of the O.ympic Club and President of the P. C. A. A. A., that an athletio tournament in conjunction with the State Fair at Sacramento, would prove an extra attraction for the visitors at the capitol. His fertile brain at once began to plan for the carrying out of the project, and on Wednesday, September 17th, the tournament was held under the most favorable auspices. The athletic sports were announced to come off at 9 a. m., but owing to a misunderstanding, the water-cart man wet the track on that morning as usual, and in consequence when the athletes appeared at the Agricultural Park long before 9 o'clook, they were doomed to disappointment, for, instead of being dry and springy, the course was muddy and slow. After the trackmen had worked about two hours scraping and roll- ing, it was finally decided that the track was in fair condi- tion, and at 10:30 a m. the first event was called. When the games began tnere were several thousand ladies and children present at the park, which fact proved how high in the esti- mation of the fair sex the amateur sprinters stood. The lovers of the horse remained away until the afternoon, when their sport began. It was a big mistake, in the Hrst place, to announce the athletic sports for such an early hour, for many of the visiting competitors were badly incommoded by hav- ing lo rise with the lark. The introduction of the athletic programme was regarded as an experiment, and the result of the trial was that the majority of the visitors patronized the athleteB in the morning, while but a small orowd was present at the park in the afternoon. Captain Walter A. Scott, of the Olympic Club of San Francisco, was the general manager of the games, and ofting to his exertions, everything went off Bmoothly and in order. The directors of the fair were so pleased with the sports, that it is safe to predict that many more inducements will be offered the athletes to visit Sacramento next year. The track, one lap to the mile, waB, despite the wetting it received in the morning, in fair condi- tion, and the weather close and warm. There were several clubs represented, but the Olympic and Alpine Clubs of San Francisco especially distinguished themselves. For the former club, Young .Foster and Cooley made a good showing, while Garrison, Cooke and Creagh, of the Alpine, each suc- ceeded in winning a first prize Skillman, the imported crack runner, ran under the auspices of the Olympio Club, but his efforts were rather tame in comparison with some of his previous performances. The one hundred yards run was very interesting owing to the large number of entries, nearly every one of whom started. The fifty yard run and the mile walk would not have been missed" from the programme, the former on account of its shortness, the latter on account of the few starters. Next year's list of event* will of course be more varied, and there will be less chance for comments. The selection of the officers of the day was a good one, but we think the Alpine Club might have been honored by having some of its members appointed on the list of officials. Next to tb.6 Olympio, the Alpine is now the strongest athletic club on the Pacific coast, and the" P. C. A. A. A. should not for- get this fact when they again appoint officers to supervise the sports held under their auspiceB. The following gentle men were in charge of the games: Referee, W. Greer Har- rison, O.C.; Judges, W. F. Bouton, O. C., E. A. Rix, O. C , H H. Egbert; Timers, P. Mclntyre, 0. C . D W. Donnelly, 0"0.f John Elliot, O. C; Starter, Capt. W. A. Scott, O C; Judge of walking, John Elliot, O. C; Inspectors, A- Klein- Horge,S. A. C. A. P. Booth, S. A. 0., J. G. Minefield, S. A. C, G. H. CI irk. S A. C, Geo. McMulton, S. A. C.; Clerk of the course, J. M. Hamilton; Assistant clerks, J. J. Theobald, O. C, Cal Godefrey, S. A. C, A. L. Ripley. S, A. C ; Mar- shall, C. J. Cox, and assistants; Scorers, Ira A. Robie, S. A. C, Morrill Hamilton, S A. C ; Official reporters, T. L. En- right, 8. A. C, Elwood Bruner, S. A. C. At 10 30 a m. the day's sport-began with a hurdle race of 120 yards, handicap. The followiog were the entries: F F Foster, O A C, penalized 12 yds; P M Wand, O A O. 4 yds; H C Caesidv. A A A C, 4 ydB; A Cooke, A A A C, 0 yds, and J Campbell^ L A C, 0 yds. This was a very exciting race and all five me" got over the timber in good shape. The hur- dles were 3ft 6in high. Foster, who is the coming cham- pion, easily overcame his heavy handicap and won a fine race by about five yards, with Casidy second. Campbell got third place. Time, 20 3-5 sees. Casidy has a good stride, and with better practice might do well at this game. The coast record is 18 3 5 sees., held by John Puroell, O A C. For the fifty yard run there were entered, 1st beat, A S Hen- derson, C A Jellineak and J C Kortick of the O A C, and J N Black of the G G A 0, Henderson won in 5J seconds Kortick second. The second heat had John W Fiynn, Roy Gallagher. P M Wand and F G O'Kane of the O A C, and F E Holland of the Alpines. Wand won in 6 seconds, Galla- gher second. The final heat was captured by Henderson in 5 7-8 sees, Gallagher second. This race was won from the scratch. Next came one of the most important events of the day on account of P D Skillman, late of the N Y A C, being one of the contestants. It was a half mile scratch run The coast record is 2min, 5| sees, hoH by Walter A Scott, O A C. It waB expeoted that the New Yorker would have broken this record, bot he failed to do so. The starter* were Clyde Frost. G O A C; R McArthur, O A C: P. D. Skillman, O A C: and H C Casidy, A A A C. Skillman won hands down in 2 mio S sees, McArthur a fair second. Casidy gave up. Not less thnn tweDty live men were entered for the 100 yards handicap ron which was run off in five heats and a final. All except D A CoheD, A O C, R LuttriDgea, A A A C. [ F F Fjster, O A C, H Lubenstein, S A C, A Bergmen, SAC, I and W E Newbert, SAC, started. The first heat had, J N Black, G C A C, 5 yards; J C Kor- tick, O A C, 2£ yards, F G O Kane, O A C. 3 yards; C B Van- derbilt, S A C, 5 yards; Kortich won in 11 seconds. The seo- ood heat brought out A S Heodereon, O A C, scratch; J F McDonald, O A C, 6 yards; A M King, A A A C, 5 yards, T W Measure, S A C, 4 yards. Henderson won nicely in 11} Beconds. Roy Gallagher, O A C. Scratce* Fred Holland, A A A C, 5 yards; H P Coleman, AAA C, 7 yards. Gallagher won in 11 sees. Heat number four had P M Wand, O A C, 3 yards; C A Jallineak, O A C, 2 yards; J W Creigh, AAA C, 6 yards; Creagh won easily in 10£ Beconds. The last heat had rhree starters, S V Winslow, O A C, 4 yards; G M Bish- op. A A A C, 5 yards; John D Garrison, A A A C, 2 yards. Garrison breasted the tape first in lo; . The final heat waB looked forward to with much interest and little Creagh won a magnificent ruce in HHsecs, Garrison being a good second. The coaBt record is lOsecs. H Coffin, O A C scratch and P N Gaffney, A A A C, scratch, A Cooke, A A A C, 20 sees; G W Armbrustsr, A A A C. 403ecs, were down for the mile handicap walk but only Coffin and Cooke started. The coast record is 7min SisecB , held by J Jarvis. ( O A C. Cooke went off at a rattling pice and Coffin soon followed at a much faster gait. At the last quarter pole Cof- fin caught his man and held him until within about fifty ydB. of the finish when he became Buddenly weak from the heat, allowing Cooke to finish alone in 7niin 47|secs with his handicap of 20secs - Cook did not walk at his best and Coffin was also a little out of Borts for he could not beat 7min 27 1 Bees. Cooke is an improving man and will probably not get such a big handicap in the next race. Both men walked fair and the judge waB not cilled upon to act. The 220yds. handicap run for members of the SAC had the following starters: T W Measnre, scratch; C E Bauer, 5 yds; F Whit- more, 5yds: N H Hanlon, 5yds; E M Simp-on, 7yds.; Bauer won in 27£secs. Heat No. 2 had W E Newbert, 3yds; C B Vanderbilt, 3 yds; H Rnbenstein, 5 yds; J Campbell, 5yds; F Welch, 6yds; A Bergman 7 yds. Campbell won in 28^ sees. The final was won by Bauer in 2G£, Campbell second. The prettiest contest ot the day was the 440-yard Bcratch race. Four of the best men on the coast were entered and it was hard to name the winner. S V Cassidy, O A C, the present champion, was one of the starters and many thought that he would have no trouble in winning. The five fol. lowing were entered: S V Cassidy, O A C; J. D Garrison. A A A C; Roy Gallagher. O A C; S V Winslow, O A C; I C Kortick, O A C. Kortick and Gallagher did not start. Gar- rison at once cut out the pace and won hands down amidst unbounded applause in the fine time of 51f seconds. Cassidy was a poor second. By winning this race Garrison proved himself to be the fastest quarter man on the Pacific Coast and by next year with pr.iper training he will certaihty do better than 50 seconds. The next event was a 2:20 yard open handicap run. There were three beats as follows: 1st heat — C A Jellineak, O A C, six yards; S V Winslow, O A C, seven yaid-; J F McDonald, O A C, 10 yards; C W Meyer, A A A C, ten yards; T W Measure, S A C, 8 yards; John W Creagh,A A A C, 10 yards. McDonald, Measure and Creagh did not start. Jelleneak won in 25i, Meyer second. Second heat— J C Kortiok, O A C, 6 yards; F F Foster, O A C, 6 yardB; F G O Kane. O A C, 6 varda; Roy Gallagher, O A O, scratch; H Rubenstein. S A C, 10 yards; H P i ole- man, A A A C, 10 yards; G W Bishop, A A A C, 8 yards. Kortick won in 25 seconds, Coleman second. Third heat— S V Casady, O A C, scratch; P M Wand, O A C, 7 yards; H M Collins, O A C, 12 yards; D A Cohen, O A C. 10 yards; J D Garrison. A A A C, 5 yards; D J Bar nert, O A C, 15 yards: M L EspinoFa, O A C, 10 yards; C B Vanderbret, S A C, 9 yards; Clyde Frost, G C A C, 10 yards. Winslow won first in 25^ seconds, Casady second. The final heat was neatly won by J C Kortick, O A C in 23|, Charley Jellineak, O A C second. The following were entered for the two mile handicap run: W M Phelos, O A C, 85 sec; W H Toomey, O A C, 65 sees; A Cooke, A A A C, 65 sees; A Choynski, A A A C, 65 sees; S Choynski, A A A C, 65 secs;C W Meyer, A A A C. 65 sees; F W Welch. S A O. 65 sees; F O Gilvez, L A C. 65 sees; H M Collins, O A C, 60 sees; J A Christie, O A C, 60 sees; E P Moody, A A A C, 60 sees; A Snow, A O C. 55 sees; M L Es- pinosa, O A C, 50 sees; F L Cooley, O A C, 45 sees; R Mc Arthur, O A C, 40 sees; H C Casidy, A A A C, 35 sees; P D Skillman, O A C, scratch. There were teu starters Coolty who was in fine trim at once cut out the pace, and in a very short whde was in first place, which position he held to the finish. Skillman did not run up to his best form and Casidy, who had trained hard for weeks previous fell to pieces. Both he and Skillman complained of the heat at the end of the race, the latter was black in the face. Skillman took second prize after a grand straggle. Cooley's time was 10 min., 8 sec3. Skillman ran the two miles in 10 min., 13 sees from scratch. This race ended the athletic games which were highly enjoyed by the large audience present. There was some kicking over the handicap, but on the whole Capt Scott who is new in the business did very well. It can hardly be expected that he can at once do as well as George W Jordan, who served a long apprenticeship at the busiu< ss Armbruster should have received at least 60 seconds start in the walk. Cassidy and Cooley should have been placed on the sime mark in the two miles and Creagh should not have received such big starts in the sprint events. There were the only handicaps with which fault oould fairly be found. The medals were given out after each event which is quite an innovation in ath'eiics on the Pacific Coast. As this was the initial tournameut at Sacramento it would be hardly fair to criticise the medals but it is to be hoped that the prizes which will be off-red n xt year will be of greater value. Greit praise is due Captain Walter A. Soott for the able and effi- cient manner in which he managed the gameB, and the ath- letes are more than lucky in having such a good and faithful worker at the head of the Pacific Coast Amateur Athletic Association. LAWN TENNIS. The California Tennis CInb will meet this afternoon at its grounds, corner of Bosh and Scott streets, for the parpose of discussing the eleotion of a new board of officers, the securing of new quarters and the amending of tne constitution. The regnlar ticket to be voted upon is as follows: H H Sherwood, R J Woods, George N Gray, Ward MoAllister Jr. W H Tay- lor Jr., Dee Linderman, Miss Morgan. No opposition ticket i^ spoken of as all the members selected are popular. The new board will probablv elect the following officers: Presi- dent, De 1 Linderman; Vice-President , Miss Morgan; Secre- tary, George V Gray: Treasurer, R J Woods. A. Taylor left for the East last week and will be absent for some time. THE GAME OF CRICKET. To morrow morning the Alameda Cricket club will plav a match game of baseball with the Razzle Dazzle Clab. The game will be played at the West End gronnds and will no doubt be closely contested as there are many good plajera on each side. It is expected that the season will soon close as winter is fast approaching. In Spring a bay boom is expected when all the lovers of cricket will be in better form than they were this seeson. IN THE SURF. The bath-honse keepers will soon have a chance to take a much needed rest alter having worked hard for the p vst five or six mouths. The warm and sunny days are becoming very scarce, and the bathers a'e already beginning lo fet,l the in- fluence of the winter's blast. ThePal*ce and Crystal baths which, during the warm weather, did only a fair amount of business, will soon be crowded again, and all through rbe winter the tanks will be filled with bathers both day and evening. The end of the present month will practically close the season along the coast, although many persons continue to bathe at Monterey and Saota Croz until November. AT THE OARS. Since the regatta everything has been quiet in rowiug cir- cles. Some of the defeated oarsmen have been expressing their opinious as to the merits of the men byvthom tbey were beaten, but as the atmosphere is growing rather chilly, it is safe to presume that no challenge matches will be made until the return of spring The members of the Siuth Eud Rowing Club are talking about gettiug up some club races next month. The Alameda Boating Club iB fast gaining in membership. Thera^e for members, which took place in the vicinity of the club's quarters last Sunday afternoon, was witnessed by an unusually large crowd uf people, who enjoyed the contest immensely. The ev.nt was a barge race that had been ar- ranged for an elegant silver cup presented to the club by O. F. \Vestpbal of Alameda. The two crews, with their weights, were es follows: Dennis (captain). 160 pounds; Schroeder, 18Q; Fransue, ISO; Bartmau, 150; Master Schroeder (cox- swain), 50. J-ick=on crew: Jickson, 180 pounds; A. Schu- macher, 160; Peter Brock, 175; Kramer, 155; Master Jackson (coxswain). 45. The latter crew were given the barge ''Ala- meda," while the other took the barge "Kate." The start was a good oue and the crews kept well together for a Bhort dis- tance, when the Jackson men led. At the turn, however, the Dennis crew were in the lead, and made the turn first. From this to the finishing point they held the lead and won easily by abjut ten lengths. They proved themselves to be much better than their opponents and were loudly cheered by the spectators when they crossed the line The time waB 15 minates and 30 seconds The distance, 2 miles. F. H. Kellogg acted as starter, and W. J. Hamilton was time-Keep- er and reftree. To morrow there will be single scull races for members of the club. The club will offer a valuable prize in the near fu- ture for a sculling race which will be opsn to outsiders. The Rowing Association, which now embraces all the row- ing clubs around the bay, was very slow in its movements this season so far. It is to be hoped that the officers will take more real'interest in rowing mutters nest year, for there is lots of good material to be found, and any amount of suit- able courses both on this and the other side of the bay. Several of the Lnrline Club members say they will resigu unless the club urders some boats right away. RUNNERS, WALKEtfS, JUMPERS, ETC. C. Stutz of the Lurline Club has resigned and is now pro- posed for membership in the Olympic Club. The Bay District track is still in existence and the runners practice on it every day. Without this historical training quar'ers the Alpine boys would be iu a bad fix. It may be many months yet before the owners begin to tear up the track, and the boys are sure of another seasons practice out there. We are in receipt of several English sporting papers from our friend Patrick J. Sheedy of the Alpine Club who is now visi ing his native land, He will remain in Ireland for a couple of years, and will be glad to hear from his friends in this city. His address is: Royal Marine Hotel, Kilkee, Co. Clare, Ireland. On Thursday last Mr. James H. Gilhuly one of the newly appointed Directors of the Olympic Club was united in mar- riage to Miss Anna E Rice. Mr. Gilhuly has the best wish- es of his club mates with whom he is very popular. A box-yard handicap race will be held at the Olympic grounds to-morrow morinng. Handsome prizes will be given to the winners. Hereafter Captain Scott will try to have han- dicap races at the grounds every Sunday morning for prizes and his men will then take the pains to keep iu good con- dition all the time. Moderate training will never hurt an athlete and when a man starts in to train hard for a special race he will find the task Lss bard than if he allowed him- self to get eDtirtly oat of condition. Cap'ain Scott has appointed as his lieutenants John Elliott and D. W. Donnelly. The selection is a good one for both gentlemen are well up in all kinds of athletic sports and as neither one ever takes any part in competitions they will be able to give all their time to the coaching of the young mem- bers who represent the club on field days. The prize exercises and gymnastic exhibition by the schol- ars and junior classes of the San Francisco Turn Verein at- tracted a large assemblage of the parents aud friends of the children to Torn Verein Hall on Sunday last where the con- tests took place. The performances were far above the aver- age and reflected much credit on the teachers. Many prizes were awarded. Iu the evening the senior and the junior classes gave interesting exhibitions on the horizontal and parallel bars. The San Francisco Athletic Club held their eighth annual picnic and games at Badgers Park on Sonday last. Several hundred people witnessed the sports which were very inter- esting. The following is a summary of the games with a list of the winners, each of whom were presented with hand- some and valuable prizes: 100 yard run, C Malloy, 1st, W Snow, 2nd; 50 yard run for gills, Miss Kuutb, 1st, MJbs Cmc- cia, 2nd; 220 yard run, C Tye, 1st, J Fraioer, 2nd; Race for Ladig*.

This world-wide known breeding establishment was originally instituted by what was known as the New Zealand Stud and Pedigree Stock Co., and for years has been known as one of the greatest breeding farms in the known world. It requires but few words to introduce it to the notice of breeders either in this country or in England. There has never been such an establishment before, and the chances are that it will be many years before another like it is seen. It has finally been deter- mined by the owners to dispose of all the stock at public sale, and the home of Musket will be broken ud for a LI time. "We have before us a catalogue of the animals that will be offered for sale, which includes the following well known horses: The sires to be offered are four in number, viz., Nor- denfeldt by Musket from Onyx; St. Leger (imp.) by Doncaster from Atlantis; Hotchkiss by Musket from Petroleuse; and Fusillade by Musket from Wai-i ti. As a racehorse, Nordenfeldt proved himself one of the best and most brilliant performers that the Australasian turf has brought to light; and his first season at the stud has shown that the Company made a most wise selection when they secured him at the close of his racing career from the late Hon. James White for 2,000 guineas. In his first season, Nordenfeldt got Medallion, Mary, King "William and Cambria, who all proved themselves win- ners; and that his stock bear the stamp of the great Musket family may be gathered from the fact of one of his yearlings fetching 1,025 guineas, while as a two- year-old one of his sons (Gatling) was sold for 2,000 guineas. Anything more beautifully bred than St. Leger could not be wished for, and as the son of Don- caster and Atlantis has shown by the performances of his sons, St. Andrew and Town Moor, that he can beget winners, he is well worthy the attention of breeders. Hotchkiss is a young sire that may safely be expected to make a great name for himself. Being much overgrown he was never raced, and the wisdom of this course can- not be gainsaid. He is only five years old, stands close upon seventeen hands, and altogether is one of the finest looking horses that could be found anywhere. Fusillade is another young son of Musket that is well worthy of attention, for as a racehorse he proved himself equal to winning the New Zealand Cup and other races. Among the forty -two mares to be offered are some of the most noteworthy animals that grace the Australian Stud Book, included in the list being Sylvia (dam of Goldsbrough and Martini-Henry), Mersey (dam of Car- bine), Onyx (dam of Sardonyx and Nordenfeldt), My Idea (dam of Nelson), Nelly Moore (dam of Lochiel), Realisation (dam of Maxim), Florence McCarthy (dam of Tirailleur), Steppe (dam of Lady Norah and Rusaley), Tres Deuce (dam of Mantou), Pearl Ash (dam of Pearl), Ericyna (dam of Mitrailleuse), Lovebhd (dam of Leo- pold), and Radiance (dam of Quadrant). The yearlings number twenty-four, and they are in every respect as fine looking a lot as have been sent up for sale in previous years. Amongst the most notewor- thy of those to be offered are coltB from Nelly Moorn [dam of Lochiel], Florence McCarthy [dam of Tirail- leur], My Idea [dam of Nelson], Steppe [dam of Rus- sley and Lady Nora], and Ericyna [dam of Mitrailleuse], all of which have been sired by Nordenfeldt; and fillies from TreB Deuse [dam of Manton], Radiance [dam of Quadrant and Lady Mersey [sister to Carbine.] The auction sale will take place during the first week week in January 1891, and intending purchasers should apply at once to Mr. Hugh Craig of the New Zealand Insurance Co., California St., for one of the catalogues, as unquestionably there has never been such a lot of animals offered at public vendue before. The Washington Park Clab. The Association whose name is the caption of this ar- ticle solicits through our advertising col urns this week, the patronage of California horsemen for their annual summer meeting, which will begin on Saturday, June 20th, 1891. There will be in all twenty- five days' rao- ing, and more than $100,000 will be given in added money to stakes and purses. Those which are advertised now consist of the Hyde Park Stake, the added money to which is $5,000, the Kenwood Stake §1,000, Lakeside Stakes $1,000, Drexel Stakes $1;000. In addition to this the Secretary also asks for entries to the American Darby to be run at their meeting in 1892, the added money to which alone will be $10,000, the society also adds $1000 to the Engle wood Stakes and §1500 to the Sheridan Stakes. Entries to all of these events close on October loth, 1890, and it may be worth the while of all breeders of thoroughbreds in this State to scan the advertisement closely and determine where it is to their best interests to make entries. The Washington Park Club stands to-day as the great racing association of the West, and its officers have always acted in the most liberal manner toward horsemen; it is for that reason that so many entries are usually made fioni this State, fcnl there is no reason to belive but what more than ever will be made this year. The Breeders' Association. The time is not very far distant when the members of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association will begin to gather at Napa for the purpose of showing to the world what California- bred horses can do. Cor- respondents writing from this State have seen fit to inform the readers of Eastern turf journals, that Cali- fornia is away behind this year in the matter of sensa- tional performers, ao.d still the same papers which pub- lish such letters are making a great to-do over Keno F., Leopard Rose, Mambrino Maid, and others of a like quality. With the three whose names are herewith mentioned, we have every reason to feel assured that in such company Vic H,, Frank M., Beaurey Mc, Silas Skinner, Sister V. and Homestake could fully hold their own, and without fear of contradiction we make the assertion that California has produced this year more good performers than any other three States in the Union, call them as you will, sensational or otherwise. When the great galaxy of talent meet at Napa on the 11th of next month, there will be such contents as has rarely been seen in this or any other State. The purees and stakes have all received liberal entries, and as far as it known, a large majority of the horses are in prime condition; it must be borne in mind, however, by those who have entries in all nomination stakes, that the last payments are due on October 1st, and on that day horses must be named.. It is needless to go into a long descrip- tion of the various events which will be trotted on the different days of the meeting, but those who attend can confidently rely on seeing some Bplendid sport. On the first of Ootober entries will close also for thr je purses lately offered by the association, the full condi ditions of which can be Been by reference to our adver- tising columns. It must also be borne in mind by those having entries in the stakes and purses, the last pay- ments are due on October Gth, five days before the first advertised day of toe meeting. The Los Angeles Fall .Meeting. We desire to call the attention of all horsemen once more and for the last time to the fact that on October 1st the entries close for the fall meeting at Los Angeles. It is much to be regretted that the Southern Association has seen fit to claim dates which were taken by the Breeders, Association many montts ago; however, it is too late now to rectify the matter, and it is to be hoped that both of the Associations will be financially success- ful. At Los Angeles there will be racing on October 14th to 18th inclusive, and the programme consists of trot- ting, pacing and running races, there being three and four events each day. At their August gatheringgrand result^ were attained, both in the character of the contests and in the financial outcome, and thoBe who attended were loud in their praiseB of the efforts put forth by the Di- rectors and Officers toward making them feel at home. The purses offered are large and should induce many who are not members of the Breeders' Association to vis- it the southern section at this particularly agreeablt time of the year. The programme as arranged will be found in the advertising columns, to which we call thi attention of all who may be interested. The Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, One of the best known breeders in the State is S. N Stranbe, E-;q., owner of toe Poplar Grove Breeding Farm, situated sixteen miles south-east of Fresno, near the little town of Wildflower. Mr. Stranbe originally settled in the San Joa- quin Valley in 1873, and in time started a sheep ranch, after a while becoming interested iu breeding the better grades of oattle. Seeing the amount of money th»t was be< ing invested in trotting stock, he after a time became interested in a number of good brood mares and then purchased three stallions, Olovis 4909, Apes 8935 and Pasha 2039. During last winter Mr. Stranbe disposed of Pasha and secured the well known Electioneer stallion, Juuio, record 2:22. This stallion is known by every horseman throughout the State on account of his successful campaigning, and owing to the one sterling qualification, dead gameness, be can readily take rank with the best in the country. Jnnio is a dark mahogany bay horse about sixteen hands in height, weighs in the neighborhood of 1250 pounds, and as stated before, is by Electioneer dam by Granger, a son of imp. Hercules. It was extreme good luck that enabled Mr. Stranbe to purchase this magnificent horse, as Robert Steele, Esq . of Philadel- phia, had opened up communications tending to his purchase, and there is no question but what he would have ultimately bought the horse, but for Mr. Straube's concluding negotia- tions in the middle of the season. This horse is bound to leave a good mark in Fresno County, as he has already served some of the best mareB in that section of the S'ate, Knowing full well that his present record is not a full meas nre of his speed, Mr. Stranbe has determined to try and re- duce that record during the coming meeting at Fresno. About a week ago he was given his first work-ont for the season.and showed a mile very handily in 2:23, proving from his actions that he still had more reserve speed left. Dur- ing the past season he served between seventy and eighty mares, about twenty of whioh are the property of Mr. Stran- be. In disposition he oannot be excelled, and it is really a treat to see the big, handsome fellow either in his stall or on the track at work. Clovie, who is now seven years old, was sired by Sultan (sire of the mighty Stambonl 2:12$), his dam being Sweetbriar by Thorndale 2:22*, sire of Edward Thome 2:16A This fine Snltan stallion has been much sought after by those who own good mares, and the day is not far distant when we fully ex- pect to see a large number of his get enter the 2:30 list. Ever since Mr. Stranbe parohased this horse, he has had so much stallion service to perform that it was found im- possible to train him for a record, but it is the owner's pres- ent intention after the Fresno Fair to have Clovis worked so that his speed may be developed. Last year he had in the neighborhood of seventy-five mares.and this year eighty -four were sent to his harem. The third of Mr. Straube's stallions is Apex, a beautiful bay, seven years old, record 2:26, by Prompter 2305, dam Mary by Flaxtail, he by Pruden's Blue Bull. In conversa- tion with Mr: Straube he informed us that next year the prioj for services for all of his stallions will be increased and the number of mares limited. This gentleman now owns in the neighborhood of eighty brood mares; the blood of Whip- ple's Hambletonian, Steinway, A. W. Richmond, Nephew and George M. Patohen, Jr., being prominent. With soch desirable stallions and first-class brood mares, it may we.'l be expected that extreme speed can and will be sired at the Poplar Grove Farm. Mr. Stranbe has one hundred and sixty acres of land, most of which is laid ont in alfalfa pastnres, and as the land is all nnder irrigation there is green feed to be had from one year's end to the other. The farm is well equipped in regard to barns, stables and track, and the weanlings and suckling foals are a sigbl to be- hold. It can safely be said that there is not a better looking lot of youngsters to be found anywhere than at this estab- xi -lirueut. One thing that the behol ler invariably notices is 'he magmficeut l.-gs whioh all of these little lads and lassies have. It wonld indeed be a hard matter to go on to any farm in the United StateB and find a mjre evenly turned lot of foals than are now in Mr. Straube's possession. 1890 %\it fSJmdjer and gyoxisxtmn. 285 Mr. Straube is Btill a young maD, and having started with the right foot forward, is sure to make a grand success of the business to which he now devotes his entire time. An excellent jadge of horses himself, what he buys most be on individual merit in addition in addition to pedigrees, and those to be found at Poplar Grove Farm are the equal of any. The proprietor of this now noted establishment is an ener- getic, wide awake, level-headed business man and has tended greatly towards advertising Fresno as a great stock breeding center, for his name and his place is cons*autly being quoted all over the United States in journal* that mate first class stock a ;specialty. At present he has a large number of horses in training on the Fresno track, they being under the guiding hand of Matt. Dwyer, who was Chas. Marvin's und- er-study at P-do Alto for some years. Mr Dwyer is a con- scientious, pain-staking mechanic, and it will indeed be sur- prising if we do not hear good news from the Strauba stable during the coming meeting of the Fresno Association. Glenbrook Park Races. The Seventeenth Agricultural District held their Sixth Annual Fair daring the past week at Glenbrook Park, Neva- da Co. Owing to the unprecedented fall of snow, fruit and cereals were bo backward that after fixing the date the Direc- tors at the request of the agriculturists and fruit growers decided to postpone the fair until the week after the Califor- nia State Fair, and consequently at the conclusion of the Sacramento Fair the Breeder axd Sportsman representative took the train for Colfax en route for Nevada City, and leaving Colfax at 3:30 on the Nevada Co Narrow Gauge Bailroad were soon among the towering pines of Nevada and in a very 6hort space of time passed Grass Vallty, aptly named, for in the fertile canyon in the bills almost every kind of luxuriant grass, native or other variety can be found, from the white and red clover, timothy and Italian rye grass so much thought of in England to the burr clover, alfalfa, meequite blue grass and other well known American vari- eties. From Grass Valley to Nevada City is but a few miles and the countless orchards and vineyards all bore witness to the wonderful fertility of the soil. The racing programme commenced on Tuesday, and though owing to the postponement and connection with Reno and Stockton the entries were not as numerous as they usu- ally are, yet owing to the energetic rustling of every one connected with the association, from President M. L. Marsh, Sec. J. G. Bolfe and the Directors down to every Nevada Co. man agoodly number of well known runners ana trotters were enticed to the PaTk. The judges in the stand the first day were A. B. Driesbach. James Linden and I. EJdy. Timers G. F. Jacobs, M. C. Hogan and W. A. Finley. Two races were on the programme, a special trotting race and a three- quarter mile repeat for runners. The trot had three well known horses as starters, J. Cochrane's Maud H, who com- peted last week at the State Fair, Wilber Field Smith's Briga- dier mare Balance All, and the local horse Sidney J. Maud H was well backed, but the local horse always held her safe and delighted the local talent by winning readily; the time was much better than it looks on paper for the track was cut up too muctTand was very heavy on the inside. The running was what is usually known as a pretty race, for Fanny F only won by a bare majority, but it was only by sheer strength she could be kept back and prevented from distancing the field. Th« Btock department was well rilled with Jerseys, Holsteins, Shorthorns, Ayrsbires, and other popular breeds of cattle which were admirably housed in the Park for, despite the winter storm which broke in many of the structures, they have been repaired and renovated, being now in grand shape. When the first race waB called up the attendance was only slight, but as the day went on it in- creased and gave every promise of better thingB lor the next day. FiTBt heat— Pools sold readily at $10 for Maud H. to $15 Sidney J, and $3 for Balance Al. After scoring up twice the word was given. Balance All broke at once and the other two trotted away together; two lengths in front of Balance round the turn, Maud drew away on the back stretoh but the others closed up on the turn and Sidney took the lead, but breaking at the head of the Btretch was passed by Balance and Maud head and head until a furlong from home, when both broke and 8idney took the lead winning cleverly by a length in front of Balance. Time, 2:37£. Mutuals paid $16.60. Second heat — Sidney J. now sold choice for $10 to $S for the other two as a field. Balance All scored up a little slow, and Sidney and Maud went out together. Maud on the out- side bad about half a length the best of it all the way round, but could never draw away, and leaving her feet at the drew gate, Sidney beat her out naif a length, Balance a bad third. Time, 2:31. Mutuals §9.50. Third heat— Pools sold bIowIv: Sidney $10 to the field $5. A start was soon made, and Maud took the pole before the turn, and going steadily was two lengths in front in the back- stretch, and won easily, never headed, by two open lengths, Sidney J. second, ten lengths back. Time, 2:33£. Mutuals paid $7.20. Fourth heat — Pools sold readily at $10 Sidney to $5 for the field. After coming up once, Smith nodded for the word when a length behind, and a start was made, Sidney being a good length in front of Maud, and going very steadily, took the pole on the turn, and going easy, won without an effort by a length and a half, Maud two lengths in front of Balance All.

The first race, a special, bad the three well known trotters, Sargent, Dinah, and Pa- sha, with the side wheeler George Wapple as starters. Sar- gent was made favorite and looked all over a winner, at the end of the third heat but tired away to nothing in the fourth and Pasha won the last three heats easily. The Dis- trict two year old trot had three entries and Milton S by El- mo siie of Alfred S and a host of other well known perform- ers won in the hollowest kind of style. The winner is a big lengthy colt of great promise and will be Leard from ere many seasons on the big circuit. First race for named horses had four starters, Wapple pacer, and three trotters, Dinah, Sargent and Pasha After a little warmingup, pools sold readily with Sargent choice $10, Pasha $6, Dinah $5, and Wapple $3. The word was given the sec- ond t'me up. Dinah left her feet at once, and Fa*ba followed suit, Wapple taking the lead dut breaking all to pieces Sar- gent passed the quarter three lengths in front pf Pasha, Din- ah and Wapple, all of three of whom broke again and Sar- gent increased his lead to seven lengths at tLe halt, and came into the stretch rive lengths in front of Dn-ah, and Pasba with Wapple a bad last. Dinah left her feet and was pts-ed by Pasho who finished three lengths behind Sargent with Dinah tws lengths further back and Wapple just inside. Time '2:22. Mutuals paid $10.10. Second heat— Pools sold steadily at $10 for Sargent $5 for Pasha and $2 for the field. The word was given the first time up. Dinah again broke and Sargent led round the turn with Wapple at his wheel and Pasha three lengths back. Sargent increased his advantage to three lengths at the half, and had the same lead at the head of the stretch, but Wap- ple going very steadily got level fifty yards from the wire and won handily by a length, Pasba three lengths back third and Dinah close up fourth. Time, 2:28^. Mutuals paid $23.75. Third heat— Pools sold slowly at $10 for Sargent $5 for Pasha aud $3 for the field. The word was yi ?en with Wapple tangled up. Sargent went away well, ai.d with the others breaking before the quarter the grey had four lengths lead at the quarter, with Pasha two lengths in fri nt of the other pBir. Pasha broke again before the half, and Sargent going on very steadily won easily by three lengths, Pasba sis lengths in front of Dinah four lengths in advance of Wapple. Time, 2:30£. Mutuals paid $9.50. Fourth heat— Sargent sold readily for $10 to §5 for the whole field. The word was given the first time up; Sargent, going Bteadily, went round the turn in front, passing the quarter three lengths in front of Pasba, the same distance in front of Dinah, seven lengths ahead of Wapple, who broke into a run and passed everything but Sargent before the half, and then catching, dropped back again, while Pashe, who broke when Wapple passed him, went round the turn six lengths behind Sargent, and when fairly in the stretch, Pasha came fast, and though he left his feet, he caught handily, and won the heat readily from Sargent, who -tired a good deal, with Dinah third and Wapple fourth. Time, 2:30£. Mutuals paid $7 50. Fifth heat— Only a few pools sold at §10 for Sargent to $9 for the field. The word was given the third time np, and all five went away well. Pasha broke before the turn, but catch- ing handily, led into the backstretch with Wapple at his wheel, seven lengths in front of Sargent, three lengths in advance of Dinah, who broke all to pieces. The order was the same all the way to the homestretch, when Wapple broke, aud Pasha going on, won the heat easily three lengths in front of Wapple; Sargent pulling up was beaten for third place by Smith. Time, 2:30. Mutuals paid §7 10. Sixth heat. Pools sold at $10 Pasha to S3 for the field. The word was given the second time up. Pasha going out passed the quarter two lengths in front, bnt breaking was passed by Sargent with Wapple three lengths back.

When a horse is constantly kept upon food as concentrated as he can bear there is nec- essarily a tendency to inflammation and consequent lame- ness, but lameness is more certainly produced with sudden changes from bulky to concentrated food, and that the day when his feel are to be most severely tried by concussion or. a hard road . It would be safer to abuse his digestive organs one day and his feet another, than to abuse tbem both at the same time. Grass-fed horses can be lamed at any time without any extra work by simply giving them more corn and less chaff. VETERINARY. Conducted by Wm. F. Fga", M E. C. V. B., F. E. V. M. S.

V. 8, 1117 Golden Gate Avenue. San Francisco. Subscriber. My buggy mare has continued to bolt her oats for some months past, and appeals to be getting gradually worse. She is wearing away to a skeleton. She does not eat her hay very well, either. Kindly let me know through your columns what ib best to do for her. Answer. — Most probably her teeth want attending to. Examine them, and see if she has any of them decayed, or if there be sharp projections on them. If so, get a good veter- inary dentist to attend to them. M. G. W. I have followed the advice given by you with regard to my colt seme time ago. The lameness has all disappeared, but there is a slight enlargement left after the blister. What should I do to remove it? Answer. — Hand-rub the part daily, and give walking exer- cise. C. H. I have a colt two months old with a rupture about the size of a hen-egg near the navel. What can I do to remove it? Answer. — Let it alone. In yonng colts small ruptures generally disappear as they grow older. H T. Does it leave a large mark to have a shoe-boil cut out. I have a nice mare that has had a large one for more than a year. It has been opened four or five different times, and is now very hard and large. If it does not leave a large mark, I should like to get it away, but if it leaves a scar as large as itself, I don't sce the good of cutting it out. Answer. — If the skin round it be much thickened, it must be removed, and generally leaves a large scar; bat if the skin be of the natural thickness and not involved, the scar will be scarcely perceptible. T. C. W, My horse has had a red lump on the inside corner of his left eye for three or four months. It began to appear, very small, with tears and matter tunning from the eye, and has gradually grown to the size of a walnut. It is very red and soft looking, and appears to grow out of the hook m the corner of the eye, not on the inside. Please say through your valuable paper if it can be removed? Answer — It can be removed by excision. Ton had better call in a qualified veterinary surgeon to remove it, as the eye is a delicate part foi an inexperienced man to operate on. M P. I have a three-year-old colt that has a small splint on the off fore leg just below the knee. It lames him when he is exeroised. I have applied the cold water from the hose to the part every day for a week, but it does not appear to do it any good. What is best to do for it? Answer. — Apply a beniodide of mercury blister (one part of the mercury to eight of lard) to the part, and give him six or eight weeks' rest. Keep him on soft feed. Would you recommend breeding a mare with ringbone? She has been a real good one, bnt for the last year or so goes very sore in front. She has a high ring-hone on both fore feet, but it never appeared t~i trouble her except within the last year. She has gone in 2;40, and she has such grit in her that I should like to get a colt from her. Is it likely that he- would get ringbone? Answer. — Ringbone is hereditary almost invariably. Occa- sionally, however, there are exceptions to the rule, especially if the ringbone has been caused by a hurt of some kind. D.G. My horse keeps all the time stocked up in his legs, about the fetlock joints. Please advise me what is best to do for it in your next issue. Answer. — Give him regular daily exercise, and apply wet bandages after coming in for a couple of hours. Hand rub the legs after removing the bandages. Napa "Wilkes— Continued. "Corbin Bashaw is now in the stud at Quincy. He may never again go on the turf. But if he should not, he has in the honors he has already gained sufficiently distinguished himself as a racehorse. He has demonstrated on nnmeroi s fields the value of his pedigree, and has proven himself fully worthy of the confidence of all who may breed to him. "As a show horse he has, in the roadster ring, been for years the most triumphant stallion in the West, and this for the excellent reason that as a combination of size, speed, beauty, excellence of prints, and tractability in harness he is absolutely without an eqnal, and has few, if any, seconds. He never did any stod-w.>-k till 1882, and, therefore, his old- est colts are yearlings. Of these I have seen a few, of which Pattie If.., out of Carrie E. by Champion, 807, is a fair spec- imen. This filly is the property of Mr Henry Ruff, one of the principal breweis of Qnincy. She is one of the largest and handsomest animals of her age I have ever seen iu Illi- nois or elsewhere. In color and shape she is a faithful copy of her sire, and shows in the pasture so much trot tl at no reasonable sum will buy h-r. She ia one of the very f6w standard-bred fillies in this region of country, and is conse- quently worth keeping t'ack of." Mr. Baker also ovns a ver? fine young stallion two years old called Blonde Wilkes, being by Guy Wilkes, dam Blonde by Irvington: second dam Huntress by Shenandoah. A prettier colt than this could not be desired and he will surely perpetuate the good name which his family already has. There is also a bay stallion as yet unnamed, one year old by Bay Knse 9314. dam Beauty by Artburton; second dam Black Bess by Geoeral McClellan; third dam Belle by Bel- mont. Mr. Baker has gone into this business with the proper ppirit and with a thorough ondrrslaading that it will rake lime to develope and to make known to the people of Cali- fornia what he really has. But a determination to succeed is so strongly implanted in him, that we expect it will be but a very few years before he will be recognized as one of tl leading breeders of the State. 286 ghe gtetfljer and ^prnjlsmatt. Sept. 27 Illiers, 2275. Among the many illustrations which are to be found in the present issue is one to which particular attention is called, as cf bis class he has the reputation of being one of the best in California; we refer to Dr. Prather's Illiers, 2275, as handsome a Norman Btallion as can be found anywhere. Illiers was foaled in France in the year 1878 and was impor- ted to the United States by J C Morrison of Pontiac III. In the coarse of time Mr. Skillman of Pe*aluma purchased the horse and brought him to this State in 1884, and he ulti- mately became the property of his present owner. In color he is an iron gray, standing about lb' hands high, his weight being a trifle over 1700 lbs. It can truly be said (bat he is a perfect draft horse in all that that implies; he stands very high headed, has plenty of room around the heart, with a powerful b«a3tand coupling, is very long in the hips, and stallion, and that he is thoroughly appreciated in that sec- tion of the State is evidenced in the fact that his book was tilled very early in the present season and he had all the mares he could serve. The Doctor also has the Cleveland Bay stallion Lord Hart* ington 11, who was bred by Mr. Clarke of North Fallerton, Yorkshire, EDgland. He is only four years old and was im- ported by Jesse Harris of Fort Collins, Colorado in 1887, two years afterwards he was brought to Fresno and sold for a good round figure to his present owner, Dr. Prather; his sire is the well known Cleveland Bay stallion Bradgate; dam by Prince Federick 234; 2od dam by Britban 42; his grandsire js Cambuscau, bis great grandsire being Voltigeu; bU weight is 1400 T'S ; he is a bfautifnl red bay in color, stands 16 hands high, has a fine action and lofty carriage characteristic of this well known breed of horses.

The same lady also has a bay tilly foaled in 1889, of equally good breed- ing which she also wishes to dispose of. Here is a rare op- portunity for some of our breeders to Becure a bargain. If there be any of our readers who desire elegant pictures for the office, the stable or the library, they should give tbe Schnssler Bros, a call, and see the elegant pictores whioh this firm has for sale. TheL^bold Bros, had an auction sale in New York last week, at which their ohestnut colt Ieaac Lewis, bv Prince Charlie, dam Bellona sold for the very fair figure of $7,500. While in Fresno last week I was placed under many ob- ligations to that old-time horseman, Jas. Waterman, for courtesies extended to me while there. Jim, by the way, has in his stallion, Buccaneer Jr., one of tbe handsomest horses in the State, and there is no question but wbat on the first favorable opportunity a lower record than 2:30 will be made by him. Buccaneer Jr. has many foals in the Southern San Joaquin Valley, 'he major portion of them being as tine as any in the State. Mr. Waterman himself owns four which it would be a very hard matter to duplicate in any stock farm here or elsewhere. With good mares Buccaneer Jr. can make a showing of his get that should entitle him to a front rank among the stallions of California. In another column will be found an advertisement showing the advantages of using the Phelps spreader in training hor- seB that travel too close behind.

Wheatland, Cal., Sept. 23, 1890. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I have used one of Mr, Phelphs' spreaders this summer on my horse Ratler, and oan say that it has improved his Rait and speed wonderfully and feel assured that you oan Bafely recommend it to any and all that are interested in breeding and training fast stock. The horse wore boots until I used this spreader, bnt now I have discarded them entirely as the spreader has given him an open gate and long stride. Tours trnly. Bent. F. Coons. Some time ago the information was telegraphed to the coast that Mr. Valensin bad encaged the services of Andrews late trainer and driver for C Hamlin. When the mail arrivec the story was refuted in the Breeder and Sportsman as being not true. Now, however, comes the news that Millard Sanders has been engaged for the Valensin Stook Farm, so it Is to be presumed that nest year the Count's colors will once more be seen to the fore. A little bird whispers to me that a wager has been made between Munroe Salisbury, the owner of Margaret S., aod Wm. Corbitt, of the San Mateo Stook Farm, in wbiob the; former olaims that he will, at Napa, show a faster mile with his peerless filly than she showed at Independence, Iowa. After her very fast half mile at Saorameuto, there are many willing to believe that 2:12$ is really no mark for the mare. Mayor De Laehmntt of Portland Oregon, has purohased from Judge Galloway the trotting mare, Lady Beach by Al- tamont, dam Hollywood by Hambletonian Mambrino. This is a very valuable addition to Mr. De Lashmutt's noted stable, and he Bhould soon win back with her the money she cost, $2,000. Messrs. Killip ■ ai wp ricgut fishingin the Adirondack^ has been Tery disappointing to the anglers who visited the streamB at the usual season for sport of this nature. Some fine baskets of fish were caught off the rocks near the Narrow Gauge wharf on Sunday. They were nearly all rockcod, with a few silver perch. The luckiest man waB Ed Price, who went home witn ten pounds of tine rockcod, some of them over a pound. The smelt fishing was not good on Sunday and the man who caught half a dozen was in luck. It is getting late for ■melt . Off the old Alameda lumber wharf at Birde Point, some 6ne catches of pogies and perch were made during the week, and a man who was netting crabs off the end of the wharf , dii a **land office business. " He caught twenty tine crabs one day, which was a fine day's work and paid well. A few smelt were caught on set-lines, but the rod fishermen have had but a poor week of it. At Lime Point on Sunday, F. Abner and T. Cole caught some thirty pounds of rock cod, among which were some ■very large ones. The tide did not quite suit, or a far larger catch would probably have been made. The Sacramento Bee records the fact that Mr. S, E. Step. bens, of this city, while angling in the streams of Plumas County, landed after an excitiDg battle of Mteen minutes a 1 trout of the rainbow variety weighing twelve poundB and one ounce. It is stated that this is the largest trout ever taken I in that region. J. Butler and a friend have been having good sport at Pil- larcitos Lake. The fish can only be caught in the early evenings and mornings. A black gnat is the best fly to use. The fiBh vary from a half to a pound, and are all in fine con- dition. Crystal Springs and San Andreas have been closed all the season, and the black bass fishermen are disconsolate. A spirited and highly interesting fishing match took place at the Bigolels, which are reached by way of the LouiBville and Nashville railway, from New Orleans distant some thirty. two miles. Tbe contest was between the Thatcher and Hanselman teams of the above named city, aod took plaoe on the 13th inst. The teams were arranged and pegged; and the signal sounded for the casting of the lines at near sun. rise, and sounded for closing of contest promptly at noon. The scale of points by which the match was scored was as follows: Silver fish 1000, devil fish 1000, pompano 100, caranx (jack fish) SO, red fish 60, sheep-head 50, drum 40, green trout 25, SpaniBh mackerel 15, striped or rock bass 15. flounder 10, eel 10, lady fish 10, speckled or white trout 5, black mullet 5 and croaker 5. Captain John K. Reynolds won first prize by a score of 1135, being nearly double that of his leading competitor, W. E. Lawrence, whose catch numbered 580. The teams were composed of 16 men each, Captain Thatch- ers' team leading by a score of 3.900 to that of 2,335, accred- ited to CaDtain Hanselman's. The Leadville Trout Station at Leadville, Colorado, is in a flourishing condition and has been achieving some splen- did results during the season. It now has on hand a stock of 92,691 Eastern brook trout in size from H to 2 iDcbes in length, all in good condition and ready for distribution. In addition to these, the com- mission have gathered abont 300 native black-spotted trout which added to the number already on hand give them a total of something over 1,200 of this species. A number of the last mentioned class will spawn next spring. A number of brook trout will yield eggs this fall. There are also 3,288 Loch Leven fry at the station. The commission is very much encouraged over tbe outlook. THE KENNEL.

The best day's coursing that has been had at Ocean View since it waB opened as a Coursing Park came off on Sunday last. Tbe attraction was a twelve dog stake, $5 entrance. The hares were above the average in point of speed and en- dnarnce, and some rattling good courses were had, notably those between Catherine Hajes and Laurelwood, and Whip and the latter. The course between Sam Nash and Playboy was also a rattler. There were several dogs from San Jose present, and altogether the meeting was a most enjoyable one. The following were the results: First ties — James Wren's Playboy beat T. J. Mj Hugh's Seashell, T. J. Cronin's Sam Nash beat M. Tiernan's Cather- ine Hayes, James McDonald's Laorelwood beat J. E. Hill's Tom, James Wren's Whip beat P. F. C mo van's Examiner, T. J. Cronin's Katherine beat J. Redmaker's Al Farrow, P. F. Canovan's Ben Or ran a tie. Second ties — Sam NaBh beat Playboy, "Whip b< at Laurel wood, Kathleen beat Ben Or. Final— Sam Nash beat Whip, leaving only Mr. CroDin's two dogs in for first and Becond money, $40, Whip taking third money, $S, The grounds at Ocean View are a trifle too small for good coursing, it being more like chasing a cat around a kitchen than legitimate work. On Thanksgiving Day the Occidental Club will hold its first meeting of the season at Newark, and fine sport may be looked forward to. The members who own dogs (and none are allowed to run but those owned by members) have their dogs already in training for tbe occasion. Last year tbe meetings of the club were the most enjoyable features of coursing near home. Regent Dead- That very handsome and well bred Ehglish setter dog Re- gent, owned by John DeVaull, Esq,., of this city, died on Sunday morning last of old age. He was of the most fash- ionable breeding, being by Royal Duke (Carlowitz— True) out of Gift (Rob Roy— PickleB). Regent had a checkered career. Dr. Rowe, of the American Field was one of the first Americans to take up the English setter for field pur- poses, and one of his earliest crosses was to breed his beau, tiful black, white and tan Gift, to Royal Duke, a splendid three-quarter Laverach, owned by Wm. Demutb at Storm Lake, Iowa. Regent wa3 one of the litter, and was bought when a puppy by a Mr. Elmore, of Milwaukee Wis., and brought to California. At first the dog, which was then about a year and a half oil, wa3 not appreciated, having his lot cast among men who had been used to the common mon- grel which usually infests new lands such as California then was in respect to well bred dogs. As knowledge increased, howewer, R-gent was more higblv estimated, until he passed into Mr. DeVaulls bauds. Tbe latter showed him at the dog shows, and he was in dtmsod at stud. Some of his progeny have shown great field merit, and all have been of fine form aod great beauty. Regent was a big dog, of grand form, beautiful color, black, white and tan, coat and mark- ings. He was as fast in the field as a ghost, but wholly un- controllable. No day was too long for him. nor did several days' work quench bis spirit. He was a gentle, affeotionnte companion, aod in the household of Mr. DeVau'l was quite the monarch. He had reached the span allotted to dogs, having been born in 1879. The Ottawa bench show is now in progress, and will con- tinue during the week. Mr. H. W. Lacy, of New York, is judging. Mr. "Watson's greyhound bitch, Mollis Bawn, threw a lit- ter of ten pups last week, to Saturday Night. There were five dogs and five bitches, all blaok and white. Mr. Watson drowned two of them. Mr. William Cairnes showed ub his Point— Queen Crox- teth puppy on Monday last, and we could not but be pleased with the fine qaality, great substance and exceeding bright- ness of the well sized youngster. Mr. William Scbreiber's pointer. Sail, which was to have been sent to Mr. Edward Dexter's Rip Rap. at The Charlotte Kannels, Lynchs, Va., has come in use so that she cannot be sent until Deoember nest. Mr. H. A. BaBsford'B pointer by Tom Pinch— Galatea will be reserved for his owner's shooting and not go in the field trials. He is a fine looking dog and shows extra good nose. Perhaps lacking in speed for public competition but a grand dog for a gentleman to shoot over. At the Detroit Bench Show, held during the first week of this month, we notice that Miss Anna Whitney, of Lancaster, Mass., awarded the first prize, in the Pug's Challenge Class, to Bob Ivy over Lord Nelson. People differ in their judg- ment of doga as well as on other matters. In the recent death of Dr George B. Ayers of Omaha, tbe kennel loses one of its most active and progressive devotees. He was surgeon of the Missouri Pacific Railway, and stood at the head of his profession, yet he found time and took gTeat p'easure in the breeding of mastiff-*, of which his Wa- couta Kennel contained some splendid animals. The climate at this point is of a nature to render the breeding of dogs feasible in the highest degree. It has often been noted that the excessive heat of the interior has had a most depressing effect, evidenced by the diminution in the size of littera numerically, as well as in that of structure and Vitality of the puppies. Mr. S. L. Bogas has sold his interest in the Mt. Washing- ton Kennel to Mr. Joseph Lewis, of Canonsburg, Pa. This includes the famous English setter, Paul Gladstone, and numerous other valuable animals. Mr. Boggs has removed to Salt Lake and we may expect to hear of his awakening a new interest there. Baron von Schroeder's splendid pointer Point (Vunde- vorts Don — Drab) is incapacitated for field work by rrason of asthma or emphysema. He cannot endure fast work, nor caD he stay long. He was the dog of hisyear, being a double field trial winner, and in the opinion of many experts, the best all around dog ever seen in California. Baron von Schroeder is most generous with the dog, and it is prob- able he will be much sought after at stud. Not having tried it ourselves, we cannot say whether the remedy would prove effi cacicus which the editor of the ken- nel department of the Poultry Bulletin (America) gives in the August number of his paper. A German employee recom- mended to the editor's friend salt for distemper. The friend had no faith, but haviDg a finely bred setter pup in the last stages of distemper that he knew must die anyway, he thought to try it. The dog was lying before the kitchen fire so weak he coald hardly raise himself up. He gave him a *easpoonful of salt. It set him to vomiting, and, strange to say, be began to improve from that time on, and became a fine large dog. Should any of our readers try this remedy we would be glad to bear the result. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— I was surprised to see that you should state that a "dropper" was the best dog for all-round shooting and rough work. What droppers conlrl stand to work with Such dogs as a Lissie, Point, Old Blaok Joe, Shot or Patti M. Surely not the far-famed "droppers" "You Nip" or Streeton's "Joe?" Geo. T. Allender. [Mr. Allender hits us haid, bat not with such deadly effer* as though we had not a parry. In our absence the paragraph was inserted wholly without our knowledge, and, it need not be sold, very much to our chagrin when we saw it. After years of advocacy of pure breeding in all breeds, it would be singular if we should recommend corroptiun of the blood of the very breeds in which purity is most essential to value. A dropper is a thing we have no use for. Occasionally a drop- per shows some field quality, but usually the praises of drop- pers are sounded by men who know nothing of the perform - ances of really well bred animals. We are sorry the item appeared, and disclaim it utterly.— Ken. Ed.] 292 3£Jt* Jfrtz&sx and gpoxtsxtmn Sept. 27 Bids for Privileges.

It must be admitted that Santa Barbara has been always coDBidered a slow town for equine sports, but in the future it will be the liveliest place on the southern coast. The county of Santa Baibara has advanced bo rapidly within the last two years, and this fair has been Buch a grand success, that in the future the county fair of Santa Barbara will be looked to with great expectations; for the horses in the county have improved bo rapidly in speed, and the stock is so far better bred, that next year the two and three-year oldB raised iu the cDunty will be so superior to those of this year, that everybody expects to see fast recordb made next year. Ventura county is rapidly coming to the front. The horses brought fiom there, by that skillful and most popular driver, James Mack, are well bred and show great expectations. The horses in his string showed to great advantage, for they are all square, level-headed and game. The horses show that a patient, kind and skillful master has guided them to victory. The horses that James brought with him, are horses that have been crippled and pot away as "back numbers," and he has nursed and trained them till they be made whole, and able to light for position. The three horees entered by him won their races, and two of them were desperately con- tested from the start to the finish. At r. Mack is the driver and trainer of the popular stock faim of Santa Paula in Ven- tura County. In thiB farm they have fashionably bred stal- lions and mares, and under his able management, the horses from this farm will make a reputation. The first day of our fair had for a programme a drawing card. There were two thousand people at the track, and Judge M alone, of San Francisco, officiated as judge, with the assistants. It is the popular opinion that Mr. Malone was most avidioas to please alL and he watched eaoh heat most conscientously, and protected jealously the rights of each horBe and driver. HiB rulingB in every case were most satisfactory. The people of Santa Barbara are enthusiastic and most generous when they see that the judge in the Bland is determined to protect the honest driver and the true race horse. The Grst race was called at 2 p. M. It was a half-mile and and repeat, free for all, in which appeared Comet, Sid Law and Bell. Pools sold very lively, SI, 000 went into the pool box; Comet $10. Sid Law and Bell Belling in the field for $6. The horses acted bo well, that it did not take the starter but a few minutes to Btart them to a most even "Go." Comet took the lead immediately, Sid Law running one leDgth behind, and Bell two behind Sid Law. The horses reached the quar- ter in 0:24, and Comet running easily. When the horses reached the three eighths post, Comet drew away and won handily. Sid Law two lengths behind, Bell a fair third. Time, 0:49|. After this heat Comet sold for $20, field for $5, and a great deal of money went into the pool box at these odds. When the horses came out for the second dash, half mile, Comet was cheered by the Santa Maria boys, and Juan Arrel- lane, the owner of Comet, looked proud and happy. The second heat was a repetition of the first, Comet winning handily, Sid Law a good second, Bell third. Time, 0:50. SUMMARY. Running race — Half mile and repeat. Purse S150.

Comet has made a grand record for himself this year. He is a great horse, and can run with the fastest. David Shee- han, the popular trainer, is in the city to witness the races, and he offered to wager SI. 000, that in three months he would run Comet a half mile in 0:47£ and repeat in 0:48, and ran him three-eighths in 1:01, and three-quarters in 1:14. Comet's dam was by a son of Belmont: 2d dam by Belmont. The second race was the Breeders' Stakes, which closed with thirteen entries. The following yearlings started, half mile and repeat: Harry Stamboul, BaBhaw Jr , Excelsior, Lottery and White Cloud. In the auction pools Excelsior sold for £15, Harry SUmboul $10, White Cloud $6, held, $4. The youngsters were driven to the half mile post for a start It was surprising and most praiseworthy to see them aot bo like racehorses with no bad qualities. At the fourth attempt the colts were sent off to a good etait. Harry Stambaul immediately took the lead. All the colts trotted well, and when the quarter post was reached Stamhoul was two lengths ahead, Bashaw Jr. trotting well, and the rest struDg out. Harry Stamboul won the heat handily, Lottery second, BaBhaw Jr. third. Time, 1:464-. No pools coold be sold. After the legal recess between heats the youngsters again faced the starter Harry immediately took the lead, and was never headed, winning handily. Bashaw Jr. second, Lottery third. Time, 1:43£. The winner is a most haud- some yearling by the famous Stamboul 2:12}. He has a beautiful way of going and is a most willing and steady youngster. It is not saying too mnch that as a two year old he will trot in 2:30. Menchaca broke him and trained him five weeks. summary. The Breeders' Stakes for foals of 1889.

When the third race was called the crowd hung around the pool box, and $3,000 went in on this race. The starters were: Tommy Beach, Bed W, Neva. Black Pilot, Sleepy Sam. Monroe and Biddy Toole. B. Pilot sold for$10, Man- roe $8. and the field $6. James Mack was behind Pilot and Pete Doyle behind Monroe. After scoring ten times the horses were sent away to a good start. Monroe took the lead, closely followed by Neva and Pilot. They reached the first quarter in :44, Bed W made a run and caught the leader, and when they reached the hali in 1.24, Munroe, Pilot, Bed W and Neva were in a banch. Tommy Beach was close on to them. Around the second turn Neva broke, Munroe and Pilot trotting well together. Pilot made a hard finish with Munroe, but the bay stallion beat him out in 2:45}, Neva third. After thi» heat Pilot sold for $15, Munroe for $15 and the field for $5. When the horses came out. lor the second heat it was getting late. After the horses scored six times an ac- cident happened which might have proved most fatal. Pete Doyle's horse that had the pole swerved and crowded Pilot out, so that Pilot's sulkey locked with Neva's. Had Neva's driver rashed ahead instead of polling up there would have been no damage, bat he stiffed Neva so qnickly that his axle was broken square off. Neva's driver, Mr. Rucker. rolled out, but he held his horse, while Black Pilot ran into the inner fence, threw Mack almost on his back, the horse. Bulky and man went over the fence and then back. It was a des- perate struggle. The horse fought viciously to get away from his driver, but Mack's nerve aDd superior strength saved the sulky, horse and himself. He was all scared up and exhausted and so was the horse. After an interval of teu minutes the horses were brought oat and even started. Manroe took the lead and kept it till he reached the half in 1:20, Pilot second, Bed W.. who had run a great deal third and Neva fourth. Around the last turn Pilot was on Man- roe's wheel and so they trotted till they reached the home- stretch. Pilot was then on even terms with Manroe. Both drivers made a fight and well did they diive, but Pilot had more speed and he won by a half length in ,2:391,, Long Beach third, Neva fourth. The third heat was won handily by Munroe. He took the lead immediately and reached the first quarter in :41, the half in 1 :20 and finished in 2:38A, Pilot second, Long Beach third. The race was then postponed till the next day. In the evening it was said that Pilot woald be bo sore that he might not he started. Mumoe sold for $20 and the field for $8. SEC3XD DAT, WEDNESDAY, SEPT 24TH, The largest crowd, of the week attended on the second day. B'nlly five thousand people were present. The unfinished trot was called promptly at 2 p. m. Black Pilot was sore. but Doyle scored so many times that Pilot warmed out of his soreness and when the word was given Pilot was a eood horse. He immediately took a lead and when be reached the quarter in :40 he was half a leDgth ahead of Manroe. On the back stretch Manroe made a break aDd Pilot was soon four lengths ahead and the reached the half in 1:21. Munroe settled down and Pete drove him with all his might. At the three quarter post Pilot was but a leDgth behind, when the home stretch was reached. Munroe was on his wheel; a desperate, hard fought finish, Pilot winning by a short neck in 2:39 J. Pilot had two heats and Manroe two. SlopySam was dis- tanced. The fifth heat was fought all the way ground by Mumoe and Pilot, but a bad break for Monroe lost him the heat and race. The stallion Blick Pilot that won the race is a very baudsome black, 4 years old, by SultaD, dam HilaDg- land Maid by Arthurlon. Pilot is crippled and was pur- chased by the Santa Paula Driving Association for breeding purposes and it was not their attention to drive the stallion in a race, but John Mack worked him along slowly and the horse went so well that he was started in the 3 minute class. It was a great triumph for the horse to win, as he was a cripple before the race, and during the race he met with an accident. Pilot's and Mack's friendB w^re so elated over the race that they took him from the sulky and on their should- ers bore the successful driver to tha judges' stand. SUMMARY.

The starterB were Midnight, Black Bart aDd Now or Never. In the auction pools Midnight brought $20 and the other two $5. The youngsters v. ere taken to the starting post, and a better behaved trio of two-year-olds never faced a score. The colts were soon slatted and Midnight drew away im- mediately and won by three lengths in a loap in :50h. SUMMARY. Running, one-half of a mile dash.

Midnight is making a mark for himself, and Ferguson who has Comet and Midnight in training, has done good work on both horses. Mr. Ferguson is a hard worker, uses judg- ment and those who employ him feel that their horses are id good hands, that all will go straight, aod that the horses will face the starter in good coodition. Mr. Ferguson will locate permanently in Santa Barbara, and those who have well bred and fast horses should make arrangement with him before his stables are full. The next race was for two-year-old trotliDg colts. The starters were Emorv, Phcenis and Nellie. Pools sold Emory $J0 the other two $3 The horses were soon started. Emory took the lead and trotted around without a skip. Phoenix on his wheel all the way aronnd. Nellie a good third. Emory won in 2:59$. The second heat was trotted by Emory and Phoenix like a double team. On the homestretch Emory broke and Phcenii won in 3:04, Nellie third.

THIRD DAT, THURSDAY, SEPT. 25, 1S90. An immense crowd went on the third day. It was a dark, close day, and imminent clonds lingered on the coast moun- tains. When the stallion race was called, the boys from Lorn- poo became boisterous and jubilant- They bad been unsuc- cessful, but on this race they were certain that Bashaw would make them winners. They had placed all their money on him, and they thought that Ro6ewall or D«m PAtucio could never head him. Auction pooIs.sold. Bashaw $20, field $14. When Bashaw came on the track the Limpooeis made them- selves hoarse; they bad had too much horse. When it was seen that James Mack was to drive Bashaw, the boys offered to bet two to one. The horses came for the word Bashaw did not show his nsual speed, and Rosewall came up at a 2:20 gait. At the fourth attempt the horses were seat away. Dan Patricio stepped on his quarter, and almost stood still. Bashaw seemed to step into a hole and broke all up. Bosewall reached the first quarter ten lengths ahead in :41, to the half in 1 :'20. Bashaw recovered himself and trotted fast. But Rosewall had a lead of twenty lengths. Rosewall won the heat, Bashaw seoond, Dan Patricio dis- tanced. This heat made no change in tbe bettiDg. Bashaw was up for tbe second heat, with Pete Doyle behind him. James Mack was too exhausted to drive. Rosewall showed great speed pcoriDg. The horses were sent away to a mest even start. Tney trotted like a double team, reaching the first quarter in :38. On the backstrelch Bashaw mode awkward break; Bosewall reached the half in 1;1G, five 1890 to L. A. Ragsdale. Clarksville, Tenn., fur"$5,000- August Belmont, the well known racing banker, is said to be wonderfully impressed with Hamilton's capacity as a jockey, and nas made the colored jock jmny valuable pres- ents. J. D. Creighton, Omaha, Nebraska, has bought for SI, 250 from H. Huntington, South Charleston, Ohio, the ulk c John Turner, three years, by Director — Lady Salisbury, by Mam- brino Patchen. John E. Midden of Lexington, Kv , has Fold his trotting mare Suisun 2:13£ by Electioneer— Sisie. by George M. Pat- chen Jr., to H. L Henry, Morrisonville, Peon. The price is Baid to be $11 000. Klamath County, Oregon, has organized a "Blooded Horse Association," and will hold a meeting nest year, at which it is expected all the best known thoroughbreds west of the Rockies will compete. John Gollsmith went direct from Sioramen'o to Fresno and will have some of hi? youngsters in shape for the Breed- ers meeting at Napa. He is now wotking the yearling from Blanche, dam of Hazel and Una Wilkes. Conductor, the three-yenr-old by Electioneer dam Sontag M>hawk, dam of Sallie Benton, Sport and Eros, is the prop- erty of Messrs. M Her and Sibley, reduced his record to 2:25} in the sixth heat at Cleveland on Septtmber 20th. Margarets., half in 1:04*, at Sacramento, was exception- ally good when one also considers that the track was not par- ticularly fast, and that she had to come very wide on the turn to avoid the deep going used by the gallopers. Mr. Seaman, of Sin Diego, once the owner of the illfated Belf Boy. was one of the visitors at the State Fair, and on Sunday and Monday he drove out to Rancho Del Paso, and expressed himself a? being highly delighted with his visit. Cricket the littla pacing wonder has a big splint which bothers her a good deal and though she shows extreme speed is now rather erratic. She was returned last Saturday to her owner, Mr. Meek, and will not be seen on the track again this year. Bal Gal, by Adventurer out of Cantiniere, who was a very successful two-year-old, winning many a good race under the famous magpie j icket of the late Lord Fdlmouth, has heen recently sold for $10,000 to Mr. Sneyd, a well known English racing man. There is every reason to believe that Andy McDiwell, who Ihb been so successful in the East this year with the Pleas anton Stock Farm's horses, Direct, Cricket. Margaret S. and Katie S., will next season wear the colors of the Montana copper magnate Marcus Daly. It developed yesterday that there will be no more matinee racing this season at St. Louis, saye tbe Republic. There are over 100 horses yet at the track, and, if rumor is to be be- lieved, the man who has been furnishing the feed owns the majority of the racers. During the Fair at Oskaloosa Iowa, last week, the grand stand, where about 5,000 people were congregated, caught fire, and in twenty minutes, the whole structure was in flames, and shortly afterwards was a total ruin. The occu- pants escaped uninjured. Electra, the dam of Hidalgo, Fitz James and others, and Miss Woodford occupy adjacent paddocks in the rear of Mr. Mackey's house at the Arcade Rancho Dal Paso. 'The Queen of the turf is in foal to Sir Modred. Maud Hampton and Explosion share a paddock at 'The Bottom.' Harry Howard, who trained last season for the Harrison Bros, of Stockton, and was very successful with Hello and other-, has gone to the Antrim Stock Farm, Bakersfield, and will get the youthful runners into shape for the Spring Meet- ing, and niiy possibly I e out tbis fall with one or two. Scott Qointin in a note sayB; I notice all tbe papers id re- porting sale of the oh f Sappho announce that I bought her for Mr. Daly, of Montana. I wish to state right here that in bo doing an injury is done me. I bought her strictly as a business speculation, and she is the sole property of myself and my brother. She has never been described to Mr. Daly that I know of. The famouB pacing sire Tom Bal that died in Tennessee last June, was buried with becoming honors, and his last resting place is marked by an appropriate bead stone, on which iB the following inscription; "Tom Hal, foaled 1862* died June 5, 1890; Rockdale Stock Farm, Bufords, Tenn. Sire of Brown Hal, 2:12A; Little BrowD Jug, 2:1H; Hal Pointer, 2;13." _J One of the most conspiouous lailures of a high priced colt is that of the bay colt National, by Leonatus, dam Brando- Hoe. He showed remarkable promise last spring, and Tuck- er & Cherry bought him from the Scoggan Bros, for $7,500. He has started fourteen times under their colors, and only succeeded in capturing a small purse race at Saratoga. In four stake races he waB beaten just a head for the first money. A gentleman representing a French syndicate, who wit- nessed Nelson's great performance on Siturday of week be- fore last, in beating the world's record of 2:lo£, on a half mile track, offered C. H. Nelson $58,000 for the great Maine stallion. The purpose was to take NelBon to Paris. France, and there trot him for a time, af er which he would be nut into the stud. The offer was refused by Mr. Nelson, who says the horse will remain in Maine. Onward has put the following sons and daughters in the list this year: Nellie Mason (3), 2:264; Susette (4), 2:28; Grit (4), 2:29|; Elkhorn (3), 2:30; Prelude (3), 2:28}, and the fol- lowing grandsons and daughters: Fancy Bess (4), 2:27}, by Olmedo Wilkes; Vatican (3), 2:27}, by Acolite; Rashleigh, 2:28}, by loglewood. This gives Onward 29 in the 2:30 list, and rive grandsons and granddaughters— a wonderful show- ing. The following "ad" recently appeared in the Liverpool Post: "Will the lady wearing spectacles, who, on Thursday evening, the 7th inst., drove a pony and four-wheeled phae- ton, with groom behind, along Halewood road, and injured a valuable saddle horse by not taking her side of the road, kindly get a better pair of glasses and take driving lessons before she ventures out again?" Lord Lytton, one of the best bred young stallions ever foaled on Maryland soil, dropped dead at Sprankling, on the Harford road, on Saptember 23rd. Lord Lytton wai a three year old, sired by the famous Old Orange Blossom, dam Queen Bess, she by Backman's Idol, making the colt a nil brother to Garrison 2:25£. Lord Lytton was the property of Mr. William Lanahan, who thought so much of the colt that he refused the offer of $4,200 made some weeks ago. There were 284 British stallions exported to British North America during the Beven months ended July 31, against 446 in 18S9, and 163 to other countries, against 349. It would thus appear that the falling off in the foreign demand is chiefly in that from South America and Canada. The total number of horses exported was 6,948, against 6,664 in the corresponding period of last vear, and 6,582 in 1SS8; the value having been £123,831, compared with £429,639 in 1889, and £414,625 in 1S8S. Wilber Field Smith made a lucky purchase wheD he secured Kebir, by Alcazir 2:20J, dam Yerba Santa by Santa Clans 2:17j. granddam Pacific Maid by Elmo 2:27. from L. J. Rose, as the yearling won the Sacramento Colt S.akes at the Slate Fair in easy fashion, and also won the sweep- stakes, $100 added, for the best Btillion, any age. Kebir will, if all goes well, trot at the forthcoming Breeders Meet- Jackson the five year old stallion ty Luke Blackburn from Ivy Leaf was snld at Sacramento to Edward Savage, San Fran- cisco, and though the price was not mentioned it is known that the figure was not large, and for stock purposes he should be valuable, while if he can be made to run true he will be bad to beat in any company. Since writing the above, I see that Jones has won a race at Reno with the horse. Theodore Winters was in Sacramento at the State Fair, and after spending a day at his ranch, left for Reno. Mr. Winters' bad luck seems to stick to him at present for he lost two valuable mares on their way back from New York, and El Rio Rey was again taken sick, and his life is still iD daoger. Mr. Winters is said to have put a price on all his yearlings, but how much truth there is in it, can't say. Dr. Ross shipped last Monday to Sin Simeon, five mares which had been bred by Senator Hearst to imported Cheviot, i They were Martha P., the dan of Baegage; Evalita by Hock Hocking from Vixen by S*xon; imp. Borbus, a royally bred daughter of Darebin and Sophietina by Brown Bread etc ; a chestnut sister to Joe Courtney, (Joe Hooker — Abbi W.) Mr. Reavis shipped Vic H. to Chico after the State Fair, and will not trot her again. She will be sent East at the head of tbe long string of Blackbirds, Monroe Chiefs, etc., that Mr. Reavis intends selling in New York this fall, and should sell well with her record of 2:1S and her good cam- paign . Buster McConneM went out to R-incho Del Paso during the State Fair, and was so pleased with the looks of Mb erstwhile pet Albert W. that he asked John Mackey to let him take him for a few months and give him tho mark he is entitled 'o. The impressible Johnny says 2;15 would not stop him. Id all probability Rancho Del Paso's Electioneer stallion Alaska will be given a record at the Breeders meeting at Napa. Tho hor-fe has already demonstrated his ability t) bent 2:20, Ool. Thornton will also send his sialHon James Madison a big son of Anteeo well inside thirty, if he is all right then but at present he is suffering from a kick on bis near fore- The Trotting Union of Great Britain proposes to paes a rule, to go into effect in January next, providing that no American horses Bhall be permitted to enter for tho races of the union excepting such as have already raced io this coun- try or which are able to produce an American certificate. This important step, it iB said, will also be taken by Germa- ny and other trotting countries oo the Continent. Mr. Cath- cart, Seoretary of the English Union, is to visit the Conti- nent for the pnrpose of creating a strong union among for- eign trotting societies. O. Kelly's celebraced wager of Ealipse first — the rest no- where, was evidently in Percy Williams' mind when findioe that his money on Lynette for the plaoe could not be won at Stockton last week, he ordered bis driver to send Beaury Mc right al >ng and distance the field, which he did, and in such good style that there could be no dispute. Pools never should not be sold for second place any more than mutnals should be sold on the heat. How often do we see a horse selling a big favorite in the pools Iobo a heat in slow time? and the peculiar feature is that the wioner generally pays lesB than $10.00 on a $5 00 ticket, and pools sell at the old rate of odds. The sale of Ruperta to Mr. A. F. Walcott for $16,000 is off, as Bhe was sold Io him as a perfectly sound filly. Her Brat race showed that she was lime, and must have been at the time of the s ile, as it has been claimed that flbe pulled up lamti after two races at Siraloga. Ss Mr Walcoit has returned the filly to B. J. Johnston, who had owned her, and from whom Mr. Walcott was to take her in partnership with John Campbell of the Beverwyck Stable. The reports that Mr. Walcott lost $10,000 on the betting ring on tbe day Roperti pulled up lame are denied by that gentleman and hi- men's, who say that Mr. Walcott hnd only a smill bet on, and that one for the benefit of his jockey, Taral. W. S. Corbitt, the well known proprietor of the San Mateo Stocfc Farm, says Mr. Suippee was perfectly right when he gave his name for Mr. Corbitt's nonappearance at the fair. The reces in which Mr. C. had any chance were declared off — a little late in the day — and as everyone knows, in order to prevent the San Mateo Stock Farm having a chance to win, it would be necessary to have races for named horses and not name Hazel Wilkes, Sister F. or Rupee, and of course Regal Wilkes. For the first time in tbe history of the Turf, the rame of a Hindoo appears in the English Forfeit List. When the Prince of Wales came t ack from India, there were several black princes in his suite. Fine handsome men they were, and most conspicuous as they rode to and fro on the New- market Heath. One of theBe was Hurgi Siog, who at Mr. Chaplin's Bale, bought a costly yearling by Galopin, and he has been in the Forfeit List in respect to that animal ever since. A. Renter's telegram, dated New York, Sunday, states that on Saturday last a mare named Roy Wilkes trotted a mile in 2 min.. SJ Bees., at Independence, Iowa, thus beating the world's record. The previous peiformance which stO"d as tbe standard record was 2 min. 8£ sees., done by Maud S. at GleDville, Ohio, on July 30, 1865. Evidently it is a mistike as Roy Wilkes (a stallion) paced and Maud S made her record at Cleveland. Mr. Jonn Hnby Jr., Moorlands Stud Farm. New York, says that although Amphion is describe as being by Speculum or Rosebery, he is in reality a son of Rosebery. Suicide, tbe dam of Amphion, waa covtred by Speculum in the spring of 1885, but unfortunately on April 16th in that year. Speculum dropped down dead at the time of the mare's visit. In the following month (May) Snioide came in season, again was put to Rosebery, to whom she held in foal, and the well known race horse Amphion was the produce. The English Racing Calendar states that at a meeting of the Jockey Club, to be held at the Newmarket Second Octo- ber Meeting, Lord Cadogao will move to add to rale 45; "No added money Bhall be given to any two-years old race run before the week which includes tbe 25th of May," and to follow rule 71: "No entry or declaration of forfeit shall be made for races for two-years-old between the last Tuesday in September, when they are yearlings, and the first Tuesday in March in the following year. The Duchess of Montrose, who for many years was the only woman on the English turf, now has several compan- ions, among them being Mrs. Challener, Mrs. Ayre, Miss Graham, Mrs. Hall and MissTemple. The Duchess of Mont- rose ran her horses in the name of "Mr. Manton," having some little delioacy in the mattar. Last year being left for the aecond time a widow, and being at tbe time nearly sixty years of age, she married a young man of twenty-three, a good looking fellow on whom she made an ante-nuptial set- tlement of $100,000. The Duchess is evidently a game sport. According to present arrangements, says the Manchester Chronicle, Anterior to the (Doncaster) St. Leger, John Por- ter will have to superintend the saddling of five horses for the St. Leger. This will be starting the whole fl jet, a la William IV., with a vengeacce. For the Goodwood Cup of 1830 His Majesty had three horseB engaged, called Fleur de Lis, Zingaocs and The Colonel. He started all three, and they finished first, second and third. Surely three snch stayers were never owned by one man at the same time. A similar piece of good fortune attended ;Croft, the trainer, in the St. Leger, of some sixty years ago. He ran fonr horses, and toey finished first, second, third and fourth, the out- sider of the party, against whom as much as £100 to a walking-stick was laid, winning. Sir Wilford Brett, in replying to a letter which appeared in the Times, says that at Sandown Park race meetings a horse ambulance is always kept properly horsed in readiness for immediate use, together with apparatus for slinging. A special accident box is also provided with slinging gear at the stables. A qualified veterinary surgeon is in attendance, al^o a certified kuacker. There are accident wards for riders, and two surgeons always held in readiness. How useful these arrangements are has been practically proved over and over ii_' iiu, They have saved moeh unnecessary suffering both to man and horse, and they should be provided at all race meetings. Ripple, the little Michigan mare that made a record better than 2:18 early io the season, has been "tired" on several National Association tracks where it was sought to trot her. The mare is entered as the property of the Standard StocK Farm, of which Frank Noble, the man who was suspended last season on accornt of the Boston stallion race, is Presi- dent. It is claimed that the mare is not owned by Noble, one of his relatives appearing on tbe scene with a bill of sale, but at one place where he tried to start the mare he rather tipped his hand by not knowing in what class Ripple was entered. Thus far the attempt to get the best of the National Association's order has not been successful, and it looks aa though Mr. Noble would have to go into winter quarters with an unsatisfied ambition. Mr. Belmont has sold his filly, Her Highness, three years, by St. Blaise Princess, to William Lakeland far $5,000. Mr. Belmont, it 1b reported, will sell all the aged division of his horses, aud hereafter devote himself to breeding and racing his two year olds. Mr. Withers will also pursue the Barue course in the future. Mr. Belmont would have done well to keep Her Highness for her breeding is as good as any in tbe land; by imported St. Blaise — a Derby winner and a son of the mightv Hermit, also a Derby winner, dam imported Princess by King Tom sire of Kingcraft a Derby winner, grand dam by North Lin- coln great grand dam by Bay Mia" die ton winner ef 2,000 guineas and D^rby, fourth dam by Venison sire of Kingston, fifth dam by Whisker winner of the Derby etc. The well known racing man who has already been black balled ou the Freuoh Jockey Club is Baroo llirsch, npon whose shoulders, says tbe Atlas in the World, the cloak of the late lamented Sir James McKeozie hai descended, is a very shrewd and a very remarkable man. He can neither drive nor dance as well as many less favored mortals, but he is one of the few speculators io the world's history who have made, and what is more, retained, one milliard of francs. His one great grief is the loss of his only son, who. however, left two children by a Christian wife whom be mirried with- out his father's consent. Baroo Hirsch lirst caused them to be adopted by a respectable family of hia own faith, and he has since adopted them himself. His grandchildren — a boy. and a girl — are likely to become his inseparable compan- ions.

A correspondent with an eye for coincidences writes to the Snorting Chronicle Manchester, Eng., as follows: "On looking over ihe Calendar I notice that in the past nine years the St. Ledger winner has neen ridden as under: 1SS1-2 by Archer, 1883-4 by Watts, 1SS5-6 by Archer, 1SS7-S by Kobinson, 18S9 by F. Barrett. What price Heauuie after this?" Heau- me is still running. Sir Frederick Roberts, it seems, says an English exchange, has issued a general order against polo. Polo ponies are getting higher aud higher, increased mettle is demanded, precautions are increasingly neglected, and altogether there eeems a prospect that polo in the^Eoglieh army will become as falal as duelling in the German. But the main point made by Sir Frederick is the expense of the game. The upshot of the Vivid affair at Sheepshead Bay has been a change in the Rules of racing. There is no doubt that the rule as it stood was unsatisfactory aud extremely difficult of interpretation, and the present reading, while much simpler, is qui'e unmistakable in its meaning. The last olauBe of Rule 63 (Racing) now reads: "If a horse carry more than two pounds over his proper or declared weight he is disqual ified, unless the judges are satisfied that such excess of weight has been caused by rain or mud." The last clause of Rule 23 (Betting) reads: ''If a horse is disqualified for in- correct weight, bets on him are not effected by the disquali- fication, if he carried not less than the weight on the official programme, or as corrected on the notice board." In the latter case the necessary alteration has been readily effected by the insertion of tbe words italicized. The New York World gives timely and sound advice when t warns race track managers that unless they pay more at- tention to improving the breed of horses and less to improv- ing the breed of gamblers they will soon see the beginning of the end. Betting is necessary to the life of racing, but the betting ring must not dominate the irterests of which it is a none too respectable servant. It is a trait of human nature to frown on those things it cannot enjoy. The man who nev- er goes to a nice is very apt to see only the evil and none of the good of racing. That class of men are nnmerons and their influence not to be despised. It is well for the racing men to remember that should the evils of tbe tracks become too glaring the true friends of the turf interest, who believe its good overbalances it evil, might not be able to protect them from the strong arm of hoBtile legislation. An incident of General Peel's Turf oareer is, says "Pavo," worth recording even at this distant date. It may not be generally known that some time after tbe notorious Running Rein affair, the exposure of which seoured the Blue Riband of the Turf to the owner of Orlando, Colooel Peel, whose horses were trained by W. Cooper at Newmarket, and invari- ably ridden by Arthur Paris or Nat Flatman, disposed of all the lot in training to the late Lord Ribblesdale, who subse- quently re-sold Marsyas, Talfonrd, Baalbeo aDd others to the late Mr. F. Knowles, and Mr. Morris bought Kingston from his lordship for £2,000 in the summer of 1852. What a con- trast to the ridiculous sums asked nowadays for the com- moners that could not hold a candle to the good horse in question. Warnke & Son's well known three year old filly Reclare by Reform, dam imp Clara, was offered at auction on Septem- ber 25th. When she was put up $5 000 was the first bid, and it ran up to S 15 000, at which price she was knocked down to Hough Bros. The Hough Bros, were bidding on Reclare for her owners, and she was bought in. Other im- portant sales were: Syracuse, ch c, 4, by Saracen — Bijou, by Warpath; George Withers, §1,400. Frontenae, oh c. 3, by Falsetto — Lerna, by Asteroid: A. Thompson, $3,500. Foxmede, ch c, 3, by Falsetto— Brittomarte, by Asteroid- C. Maxwell, $2,0C0. Silver Prinoe, b c, 2, by Spendthrift — Pncebe Mayflower, by Phaeton; C. Jordan, §2 600. Brown colt, 1, by Da re bin— Carrie, by Wanderer; H. Dur- ham. $1,300. The colt was purchased at the laBt Rancho del Paso sale for $700 by A. Thompson. When the now celebrated horse Hampton was a yearling a a gentleman to whom he was on offer declined to give his breeder, Mr. Ireland, of Tetsworth, £70 pounds for him on the ground that he was too small. He ran first in the sel- ling race at Oxford, went on to Hampton, and won a selling race (thereby earning his famous name), when Mr. James Nightingall gave £200 for the winner. After awhile Hamptom was claimed by Mr. Harvey out of a selling race, and after going over hurdles, won the Goodwood Stakes and Great Metropolitan, and was eventually sold to Lord Elles- mere for 7,000 guineas, returning a profit on the original outlay of about £6,800. Joseph Salomon, of 497 Sixth St., Milwaukee, owns a val- uable horse which was never shod on his hind feet until re- cently. The animal, usually gentle, became vicious the mo- ment his hind feet were touched. His owner had him in nearly every blacksmith shop in the city, but every attempt to put shoes on him proved futile. Finally Mr. Salomon tried it again at a shop on Fourth St., when Veterinary Sur- geon F. I. Toussaint suggested the use of chloroform. Mr. Silomon consented, and the novel operation was performed. After the horse had been secured on the "amputating" table he was made to inhale six ounces of chloroform, which took effect after a lapse of six minutes. The kicking quadruped was then dead to the world. Christ Laminski, a blacksmith in the employ of William Herzsr, stood ready with his tools, and twenty minutes later a pair of strong shoes was at- tached to the animal's hind feet. Half and hour later the subdued kicker came to again. For fully ten minutes he tried his best to liberate himself from the undesired incum- brance, but failing in it, finally gave in and trotted away meek and humbled. The horse apparently suffered no in- convenience whatever from the large dose of chloroform. Mr. M. Salisbury has returned to San Francisco, and sub- mitted to an interview. He is reported in the Breeder and Sportsman": Dd you thick the Independence track is extraordinarily fast on ac- count of its shap»? No, I do not. The first threeeiehths of a mile If up hill, and then there ia a cut to go through. However, the last half la very fast, as it is slightly down bill. Are any of the California tracks as fast as it is? Certainly; I can name several, notably the Napa track, wnich I con eider the peer of any in the United States. After the Independence meeting Andy McDowell, who drives Mr. Salisbury's horses, was interviewed, and this is the way he is reported: This is the fastest track in America. For a borae of baa action the long stretches are especially advantageous. On the down stretch a borae has a long time to get to the pole, and a good gait beofre tbe turn; and then the fact that there Is only one turn is another advan- tage. The opinions of Mr. Silisbury and Mr. McDowell, if both are correctly reported openly conflict. Which is right? We do know that Margaret S. trotted and Cricket paced her fastest mile at Independence. A critical comparison of the performances would make the Independence track not less than three seconds faster than the Cleveland track. If Mr. Salisbury has as much faith in Napa as he pretends to have why does he not start Margaret S. on the Hack to trot a mile in 2.12£ or better, and Cricket to pace a mile in 2:10 or bet- ter?— Turf, Field and Farm. Mr. Salisbury will start Margaret S. at Napa to beat her record but Cricket has been turned out so she must rest on her present laurels for this year. An English writer says: High knee action had its origin in England in the far off days before the coming of Caasar. It seems to be certain that at first the high knee action was found combined with profuse hair on tail, neck and fetlock. Of course the action has been modified, and the legs, too; tbe American speed records are an illustration of this. But the high knee action originated, as we believe, in Britain, before the Romans came to teach us how to make roads. When wheeled vehicles bad to b« dragged, full speed, over land covered with sedge and rank herbage, the horses had to lift their feet. The fact lhat the original inhabitants of Britain were bad road makers made it imperative that their horses should have action suitable to such going as there was, and that meant that they should lift their feet well off the ground. Their shaggy coats were consequent to a climate which made such hair necessary for survival of a British spring. What the Americans seem to have done is to combine the gait of the Western horse with the nostril and clean bone of the Orient. A tale of distress is {says a well known writer) disclosed by the publication in the Forfeit List of the name of Mr. Chas. Seaton. He went to grief over the victory of The Imp in the Great Jubilee Handicap at Eempton. There is enough material in the life of this gentleman to make the fortune of half a dozen novels, and the curious part of the business is that no two men on tbe turf can agree as to whether he is a "sharp" or a "hat." Since he left Liverpool some fifteen or twenty years ago, some hundreds of thonsands of pounds have parsed through his hands, aod the difference that the riding of a drunken jockey, who was beaten by a head, made to him four or five years ago must have been enormous. It sent him into exile for a time, but thanks to one or two gam- ing clubs which have now been suppressed, he emerged from his diffienlties and speculated more largely on the turf than ever. At bis rooms as much as £20,000 was lost in a night, and one young peer is stated to have played most extravagantly, as did the "Jubilee Plunger." It was under- stood thnt this becoming known to the mother of the young peer in qa s'ion, she placed herself in communicaiion with the Prime Minister, who in turn inov*d the Home Secretary to action, with the result that the club was suppressed. Unless a horse has brains you can't teach him, says the Medical Classics. See that tall bay there, a fine looking ani- mal, fifteen hands high. You can't teach that horse any- thing. Why? Well, III show a difference in heads, but have a care of his heels. Look at the brute's head, that rounding nose, that tapering forehead, that troad, full place between the eyes. Xou can't trust him. That's an awful good mare, as tiue as the sun. You can see breadth aud full- ness between the ears and eyes. You couldn't hire that mare to aot mean or hurt anybody. The eye should be full, and hazel is a good color. I like a horse with a small, thin par, and want him to throw his ears well forward. Look out for the brute that wants to listen to all conversation going on behind him. The horse that turns back his eats till they almost rueet^ at the points, take my word for it, is sure to do something wrong. See that straight, elegant face. A horse with a dishing face is cowardly, and a cowardly brute is usually vicious. Then I like a square muzzle, with large nostrils, to let plenty of air to the lungs. For the under side of the head, a good horse should be well cut under the jowl, with jawbones broad and wide apart under the throttle. The next thing to oonsider is the build of the animal. Never buy a long legged, stilted horse. Let him have a short, straight back and a straight rump, and you've got a gentleman's horse. The withers shoold be high and the shoulders well Bet back and broad, but don't get them too deep in the chest. The foreleg should be short. Give me a pretty straight hind leg, with the hock low down, short pas- tern joints and a round mulish foot. There are all kinds of horses, but the animal that has these points is almost sure to be sightly, graceful, good natured and servicable. It is more than likely, says a foreign exchange, that a few of our beBt stallions of all types will be on view at the World's Fair, but certainly not those which have proved most suc- cessful breeders at home, as they could not undergo with any degree of safety a voyage out and home. The horses which go out will be those which are likely to slay there and serve at the stud. The Bystem of bottline up champions at the end of their fourth or fifth year of showing can be over- done to some extent, we find, in this country, as the patron- age bestowed od many of these causes, for a time, neglect of promising young sires, and a good vigorous four year old or rive year old horse invariably gets very healthy stock if he has not been pampered for show purposes. At present, how- ever, patronage is bestowed on the sire according to his stock's prizes, quite apart from his own pedigree, perform- ances or good looks. A recent steamer took back Mr. Jas. White, a well known book-maker, to Australia, who must not be confounded with the Hon James White lately deceased, after having made a trip to the old country. He remained such a short time in Colombo, that we (the Ceylon Times) were unable to get more than a few hurried words with him as to his trip and how he enjoyed it. He is so well known a book-maker in Australia, and has had such a lengthened experience of rac- ing there, that his English experiences are worth noticing. He met with great hospitality at borne from racing men and others, and got the entree everywhere, expressing himself as particularly pleased with all that was done for him. He saw the Derby and the Guineas run for; and, in reply to a ques- tion as to how it is that Kirkham and Narellan did so badly, he said they were never in it in such company. They looked like two good hunterp, but not race horses. Interro- gated as to what he thought of the riding, he expressed his unbounded admiration for the jockeys at home, and said he never in his life saw such riding. In fact, he admitted that he never had seen good riding until he had been to the old country. His questioner remarked upon the fact that Aus- tralians generally thought that no one in England or out of Australia could ride, and he laughed at the idea. Hales, the great Australian jockey, would not have been fit to ride in any of the best races in England, and in fact Mr. White was very enthusiastic over the superiority of English riding and English horses. He returned to Australia fully convinced that all the talk down there is mere "blow", and that they have a lot to learn there yet — a fact which it is as well ihat they should be told by one iu Mr. White's position. The celebrated "Colored Trust" is broken. Six hundred thousand dollars strong on July 4 and "dead broke" on Sep- tember 15, This in brief is tbe sad story, says the American Sportsman. In just one month and a ha'f the sum named was dumped into the coffers of the book-makers at Mon- mouth Park and Sheepshead Bay by a select coterie of six colored men. The Colored Trust was formed by Billy Wal- ker, C, A. Jordon, Andy Thompson, Patton Clay, John Car- ter and Sam Morrell. They owned a stable of good horses, among them Euperta, Asa Frontenae, Pearlset, Foxmet and Silver Prince. The history of the "Colored Trust" dates from August 20, 1889 It was the opening day at Mirris Park, and 20,000 people were present. There were ninety book-makers in the ring, with bank ro Is amounting to $300, 000. Tbe money turned into the boxes by the people was $250,000 more, and the "Trust" determined to get as much of this as was possible. That night they counted out $42,000 as the result of their day's sport, not counting the stake won by Rupeita, which was $3,575, or the sweepstake won by Frontenae, which was about $1,100. The news of their hard hit at the ring leaked out. Race track frequenters became anxious to know what Jordan, Walker et al. were doing. But they were too shrewd for the public and the talent. They secured the co-operation of a clever white man, who placed their money and his owo, and when the inaugural meeting at Westchester ended, the Trust had over $60,000, and "Burkey," the white man. had a big roll At Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn and Elizabeth, the colored Trust kept up its work and they bad more than $700,000 when the snow fell. During the season the "Trust" won in 6takes and purses about $80,000. There are no victories for the "Trust" now. They have a few horses left, but these will soon be sold and probably the money will be played against the books to give the "combine" a fresh start. Many years ago, says the Montana Chronicle, Mr. Dixon, in one of his charming "Sporting Review" artioles, told in a few masterly words of the excitement with which tbe men of the Ridings watched an unimportant contest for two-years- old, won by Comtlt, a tilly, the property of the late Lord Zetland. .,. .. . ,. . . He described the breathless excitement with which the look- ers on waited to see whether Bhe or a southern country rival would first show symptoms of distress.and the storm of delight that arose when the b arer of the spotted jacket got the bet- ter of her opponent. Another writer, whose life has been Bpent in the country of many acres, remarks: "Clannish to the bone are the Yorkshire folKs, and they are greatly de- lighted when some strongly-fancied competitor from New- market goes down before an opponent trained at Middleham or Malton. This, by the bye, happens nowadays all to sel- dom The Yorkshire people ara, however, good sportsmen, and 'take a beating gracefully if they feel that their favorite bas Buccumbed to a better horse. They delight in neat jockeyship. The enthusiasm shown on ooo occasion when Alfred Day snatched a race on Koavesmire "out of the fire ' —it was when Vivandiere. an own sister to Voltigeur, de- feated Lord Derby'B Iris for the Yorkshire Oaks— has Wen handed down in Turf history as especially exemplifying north country appreciation of a jockey's skill. Job Mar son ugged around in the slow time of 2:33} and 2:331, Lynette showing in the laatheat considerable distress. For the third heat Beaury Mc Mas turned loose and trotted in 2:211, distancing biB field. In showiDg why this fast heat was made, the following from the Stockton Independent will explain matters. "It began to appear that Lynette had no chance for second place. As Percy Williams hid backed the horse strongly he was anxious to get his money back at least. It is provided in the racing rules that where a horse distances the field he is entitled to first and third money, and the second money is withheld. A distanced horse gets no money. If Mc suc- ceeded in shutting out tbe field there would be no second money, and consequently the pools that were sold on the field would be declared off, and Williams would quit even. So he instructed the driver of Mc to shut out the field, which was not a particularly hard thing for tbe fast trotter to do. Mc sped around the course in the third heat in tbe fast time of 2:21 j, and distanced the field, as he waB expected to do, Chloe being second and Lynette third." Considerable excitement wasexperiencei during the match trottiDg race between Mr. William's Sultan mare and F. D. Cobb's Gipsey. A great deal of money went into the pool box about this event, the two bor=es selling for about even money. Gipsey in the first two heats proved rather unsteady and consequently the Sultan mare won the first two heats very readily in 2:401 and 2:351, but at this juncture the judges were complained to, that the mare performed a part of her work pacing, sd the marshal was instructed to gallop around tbe track with the horses and see if any pacing or running was indulged in. Io the third heat th« verdict was reversed Gipsey winning in 2:371. the Sultan mare breaking when close to the distaoce flag. The fourth beat was a very close and exciting one, the two trotting very steadily together, as the horses passed into the borne stretoh, it was anybody's race but at tbe upper end of the grand stand Gipsey made a break, which cost her the race, the Sultan mare winning in 2:35. In the special trotting race the entries were Mambrino Chief, Latbam Almoot, Foxy V. and Clay Duke; the Utter sold in tbe pools at 525 against $10 for the field. The con- fidence of Clay Duke's backers was not misplaced, as he won the race in three straight beats. The time being 2-36, 2:311 and 2:32}. Tbe laBt event on the day's programme was a pacing race for three year olds, which owing to the darkness, was un- finished at the conclusion of tbe day's sport. The entries were Brilliante, Falrose and Vigor. Brilliante sold favorite at $25, Vigor bringing $16 while Fallrose sold for S8 In the first heat the favorite behaved very badly, breaking frequent- ly and it looked when coming down the Heme stretch as though the driver of the favor. te was making determined ef- forts to have his horse shut out. This was noticed by the judges and when the horses appeared for the second heat Dustin was requested to get up behind the favorite. Vigor won the first heat in 2*4S, Fallrose being second. The change in drivers proved advantageous to those who bad the long end, as Dustin forged at ones to the front and was never headed in the heat. The time was 2;36, Fallrose finishing second. The third beat was but a mere repetition of the sec- ond, Brilliante winning in the fairly good time of 2:301. LAST DAT OF THE MEETING. The attendance at the race track on the last day of the meeting was not quite so large as it had been on the two pre- ceding days, yet still the crowd in attendance was enough to satisfy the Board of Directors, and taken all in all, it must be confessed that notwithstanding the one rainy day, the fair has been eminently successfal. The first thing on the programme was the pacing race which had been postponed from the preceding afternoon, and notwithstanding the fact that Brilliante made a very disas- trous break immediately after passing the wire, yet still on steadying down he had no trouble in beating oat his oppon- ents, making the mile and winning the race in 2:30. In the Big Tree Stake, Take Notice was tbe oDly horse that came to the wire, and consequently he had a walk-over for it. In the Stockton Stake, a mile and a sixteenth, a big upset was received by tbe talent. The Btarters were Rico, Take Notice and Odette. As waa to be supposed, Udette was a terrific favorite, selling at $40. Take Notice $20 and Rico $10. When the flag fell, Take Notice and Odette cat out the pace, leaving Rico in tbe rear by some five open lengths of daylight. When at the head of the stretch, Rico's jockey let go the head of the colt, and in a few moments he demon- strated that he was still in the race, for ihe gap was soon closed, and a slashing race ensned down the straight, Rico winning by a head from Odette in 1:4S. The next race was a three-quarter mile dash, Carmen beiDg the ohoice of the knowing ones, the other two starters being Daisy D. and Acclaim. Carmen, however, never was in it, for Daisy D. and Acclaim fought for first honors, Daisy D. being the one to pass first under the wire, with Acclaim sec- ond. The 2:30 trotting class brought oat Lee and George Wash- ington. As was only natural to suppose after Lee's perform- ances along the line he was made a decided favorite, selling for $25 to $12 for Mr. Smith's stallion. Lee won the first heat in the very slow time for him of 2:33. In the second heat, however, Washington showed his backers what he could to by winoine it in 2:27£. Lee having made a bad break at the distance flag. Tbe third heat was rather a facer for those who were backing Lee, for Washington again won, this time in 2:26. The fourth heat was a very close one, they go- ing around tbe track like a double team, making a dead heat in 2:25J. In the fifth heat Lee's backers commenced to have a little more confidence as he won tbat in 2:251, but by a short head only. In the sixth heat both horses were on their mettle and the drivers used every endeavor to make their respective charges win: again it was a neck and neok race and as they passed under tbe wire many in the grand stand and in front of the judges' stand began catling oat 'dead heat'; however, the decision of the judges was that "Washing- ton wins the heat and race." Time, 2:231. Three better beats than the fourth, five and sixth were never seen on tbe track. A speoial race was then annonnced, the Btarters being Mos- es S., Mattie P and Foxy V. Moses S. trotted the first mile without skip or break in 2:22}* Foxy V. being shut oat and Mattie only saved her distance by a scant length. Moses S. won the second heat and race in 2.25; Mattie being given second money. Margaret S. during tbe afternoon was given a half mile, the announcement being made that she would attempt to lower her record of 1.041 made at Sacramento. Although she waa accompanied by a runner the best tbe speedy mare cuuld do was to equal her Sacramento time. During the afternoon the Ltdiei' Equestrian Tournament took nUce. the contestants being Miss £ lith Briley of Stock- ton, MiSfl Lola Taylor of San Joaquin County, and Mrs- Tre- fry of Storamento. The judges awarded the first premium to Miss Bailey: second to Miss Taylor, and third to Mre. Trefry. 1890 2?frje ffrjette and Jkptfrismaw. 307 THE FARM. Montana Cattle Trade. The Montana cattle ran will exceed the ran of last year by 20,000 bead, says the St. Paul Globe. Tbat is to say, there will move eastward from the ranges northwest of here 104,- 000 bead, instead of S4,000 head, which was the total number of last year. Twenty thousand head of cattle are worth fully $600,000 on the range of tne reasonable prices now prevail- ing. That number is about as many as Nelse Moirii bought in Montana last spring, and when the markets and other things went against bis judgment be sent up into the new state which is the abode of cattle and gold and silver and sheep and horses, paid about $65,000 in a straightforward manner, and annulled most of his cattle contracts at the rate of $5 to $7.50 per head for the annnllment. Cattle men are generally off-hand in their methods, and if their deal goes crosswise they ante the bargains and settle the account, especially in Montana, unless some high-strung tenderfoot insists upon knowing the exaot difference between a dry cow and a dry heifer, in which case the courts may be called upon to determine the momentous question. The Montana cattle movement of 1S39 would have been larger but for the winter losses of 1S86-7, when the oalf crop wa^ greatly deminished, making the nnmber of ripe steers in 1886 about equal to tbat of 18SS. Dry weather early this year and low prices in the eastern markets have kept the shipments lower thus far then some expected, bnt the feel- ing all around now is better. Tne steers ate fatter and more marketable, the beef herds are being rounded np, and many thousands of steers are moving toward the shipping points. About $4,000,000 should be realized at present prices from 104,000 cattle. Taat number of bead requires 5,200 cars for its movement. Fyery cattle carrying railroad eager for the tariff has electrified its "drivers" and tracks, and is sending forward the palace cattle stable on wheels almost with the swiftness of a "vestibuled limited." The season began July 15th. The middle of it has now been reached. Next week it will be at its height, and will last two months longer — until about November loth. The nnmber of carloads moved since July 15th to date has been 1,222 Street's stable ears and*401 common stock cars. Total, 1,623 cars. Over 500 cars are now ordered to be used before October 1st in loading 11,000 head of cattle at stations on Northern Pacific railroad. The Great Northern will handle about 35,000 head of the above mentioned season's run. About sixty per cent of the Montana cattle already received went through the Minnesota Transfer, their owners having waybilled direct to points further east. The Union stockyards have received a large number, and the yards at New Brighton did a fair business during the early part of the season. An interesting view of the livestock bnsiness now going on here was gained yesterday by a visit to the Union stock yards at South St. Paul, where upwards of 5.000 Montana steers have been bandied in the ten days from September 7th to 17th. The receipts there during the last five days of August (Montana cattle) numbered 1,473 head, while from September 7th to 17th there arrived at South St. Paul 3,- 440 head, an increase in that brief period of 134 per cent. The following shippers were represented: Flowerree & Low- erree, S5S; Neyer, N. Mbrriss McDonald, a s .2 N. O'Neill, 3b .3 Cobb, p 2 OAKLAND8. A.D.H BH 8B.PO.

Of the many fine games played at the Haight St. grounds this season, the one played last Saturday will take the paln> for general excellence. Although one side was shut out with oot a run, the fielding of both teams was of a most meritori- ous character, while the hitting of the Friscos was sharp and clean and the batteries work exceptionally clever. Coughlin was iu the points for the Metropolitans and h's work was simply grand. But a single scratch hit was made off him and he sent but one man to his base on balls. Kil- roy did the twirling for the Gas City aggregation, and al- though he was pretty heavily bunched on in the second and sixth innings, his work was on the whole, good. Armstrong supported him in fine shape, and the two errors made by his team did not cut any figure in the run getting. The Friscos played an errorless and scientific game. In the second in- ning, Ebright led off with a corking double to left, which Hoffman cleverly blocked, and scored on Levy's single to the same field. Everett sacrified Levy to second and Coughlau's triple, sent the ltft fielder home with the second earned run. They earned another in the sixth. Ebright made another double and went to third on Everett's single. TheFrisco*B Captain played off third a little and Armstrong lined the ball to Wilson. It rolled away from the third baseman, and Ebright sprinted for home, but Fudger secured the ball and by a magnificent throw caught Ebright at the plate. Everett had by this time it ached third and scored on Speer's single The heavy hitting of Ebright, and magnificent catches by Fogarty, Armstrong, Stockwell and Everett were the most particular features of the game.

To Shaw's unsteadiness at critical stages of the game was the Senators victory of last Saturday due. He was eiven fair support by his team, but the two errors made were responsible for some of the run getting. Hoffman pitched fine ball for the Sacramentos, but Bowman had an off day, his two errois permitting three of the Oaklands runs. Hoffman's catch of a hot liner was a special feature of the game. "Ward played his first game at short and made a very favorable impression, but was weak at the bat. Stapleton made his re-appearance at first and Reitz put up a splendid article of ball at second. Goodenough, McHale, Beitz, Cantillion and N, O'Neill did the best work at tbe bat. The runs were made as follows: Oakland scored twice in the third inning on Cantillion's double, Dooley's scratch single, Sweeney's Eacrin'ce and Mc Hale's error. The home team took the lead in the sixth on three bases on balls, two hits and aD error. Oakland made two in the seventh on Godar's error, N. O'Neill's single and Bowman's error. In the eighth the Senators tied the score on Roberts' force hit and McHale's triple. In the ninth, Godar was given first base on balls and took second on Beitz's single. McDonald's error scored Godar and gave Hoffman first. Goodenough went to first on balls. Roberts forced Keitz out at the plate and Bowman cleared the bases with a rattling tbree-baeger. In tbe last half Shaw scored on his base on balls and Bowman's wild throw. The scoie: Gooden'gh, c f .

They couldn't touch Lookabaugh to any extent, and when in the eighth inning they did manage to bunch three bits, it was too late to do them any material good. The Friscos put up another fine game for which they are now being celebrated, and hit the Stockton pitcher frequently and hard. Fudger, who waB at one time a star twirler ot the League, was in the bos for the Stocktons.but had poor command of the ball and was badly handicapped in his catcher, Yogt. Armstrong commenced to catch but was injured in the first inning, causing his retirement from tbe game. Tbe Stocktons did not play a very good game, errors assisting the Friscos to pile on the agony. In the eighth.inningwith two out, Holli- day made a tiDgle along the first base line and scortd on Hoffman's triple to deep right. Stockwell's safety to left field scored Hoffman, making two earned rnns for the Siock- tons. There was some fine fielding in the game, notably that of Ebright, Everett, Hoffman, Fogarty and "Wilson in the infield, and Levy, Pache and Kilroys outfielding. Speer handled Lookabangh's delivery splendidlv, and Shea made four stolen bases in the game. The score: PlOOKTONS . 8an Feascisco AB.B.Ba.

Both Harper and Cobb were touched up lively in this game, but blunders on the Sacramento's infield were principally responsible for the Oakland'6 victory. Tbe Colonels played a remarkable game in the field, cutting off many hits. Hoff- man did not play, and Mike Fisher was extra man. In the fourth inning Dangan ran into atapleton with such force as to sprain the first baseman's ankle, causirg bim to retire. Bowman then played first, McHale went behind the bat arid Fisher to right field. Harper struck out five men, N. O'Neill succumbing to bis curves three times. The runs were made as follows: In the first inning Cantillion's base on balls, Dooley's hit and Lohman's sacrifice scored one run for the visitors. In the third Dooley and Sweeney reached first on Stapleton's errors and scored on Lohman's hit and Good- enough's error. Lohman scored on C. O'NeiU's triple and O'Neill scored on a wild pitch. In the fourth Cantillion made a single, took second on Dooley's sacrifice and scored on Godar's error. Godar and Etitz scored for the Senators on three two-baggers. In the fifth Bowman took first on balls and third on McHale's single. Mac stole second, both scoring on two sacrifices. In the eighth Cobb hit safely. Cantillion bit to Godar and took third on his overthrow, Cobb scoring. Cantilliou scored on Dooley's single. Dono- hue umpired splendidly, not a single decision being ques- tioned.

Thuesdat, Oct. 2nd, 1890, at San Francisco. The Oaklands almost annihilated the Sacramentos in this game banging pitcher Hoffman all over the lot at a tremen- dous pace. Singles, doubles, triples and even home runs were the order of the day and they came in jast when they did the most good. Of the fourteen runs made by the Colonels seven were earned. Although Shaw wag wild he received magnificent support from Lobmau and all the players of the team. The Sacramentos opened well, for with three men on bases gained on balls Reitz's Bent them all home by banging the ball to deep center, and although Sweeney got under it he misjudged it at the last moment. Tbe Colonels had been touching up Hoffman pretty lively all along, but in the fifth they hit him as he was never hit before. A base on balls, two doubles by McDonald and Dungao, a triple by Sweeney and a home run by N. O'Neill, sent five men over the p'ate in this most disastrous inning for the Senators blonde twirler. Ward, late of Tacoma, played his first game in this city and made a fine impression behind the bat. The Senators were without the services of Captain Stapleton and Bowman played first base very efficiently. McDorjald's marvellous one hand catch in short left was the particular feature of the game.

THE STANDING OF THE CLUBS. The Senators' lead is becoming beautifully less as the sea- son diawa to a close, and the race promises to be a fast and furious one between the Sacramentos, Oaklands and Friscos. The Colonels are now in second place, having a Blight ad- vance over the home team. It is needless to Eay Stockton is still "in the soup." the becobd: — (to October 2nd, inclusive). Buck Ewing has struck out but seven times in seventy- eight games. John J. Hone is said to have aspirations for the Public Ad- ministratorship. It is reported that Harry O'Day is seriously 111 in a hos- pital at Portland. Daly's lay off was very temporary as he is again playiDg short for the team. It is very doubtful if Stockton will be represented in the League nest year. Comiskey, Pfeiffer, Cooney and Lyons will most likely be Chicago's infield next year. It is doubtful if Managers Finn and Robinson will permit Borohers to play with Sacramento. George Bright, the clever brainy infielder and captain of the Seattle team has been released. Harper is coming to the front as a batter. In the last ten games he has averaged a hit in each. It is a "toss up" between Fresno and San Diego as to which will be in the league next year. As pitcher "Sonny Hoffman'' is a failure, but as a fielder and kicker he's "in it" with any of them. Brittan, the third baseman, lately released from Tacoma, umpired the Fresno— Merced game Sunday. "Blockers" Hanley is rather weak on throwing yet but their is nothing that gets past him in his territory. Dave Orr and Jim O'Eourke are tie for batting honors in the Players League. Each has a percentage of 373. Until Stapleton iB able to resume his position at first, Bow- man will guard the initial and Ward will do the back stop- ping. Jimmy Ward, the Sacramentos' new short stop and change catcher, is said to bear a very striking resemblance to Jack Daly. With Lookabaugh crippled and McCarty on the sick list, the bulk of the pitching devolves on the shoulders of Roseoe Coughlin. Tommy Foster who was here with the Philadelphias in '38, will most probably be with Colonel Robinson on his Southern trip. Danny Long is quite frequently played on the bench now as Curt Welch, the star centerfielder has been signed by tho Baltimores. Clubs.

Billy Cooney, late of the second baseman of the Al e te.ima o f the NorthweBt before For ens. tlnnd s is now Oaptain and No doubt but that many of the promising youngsters in tbe Amateur league will have a chance to enter some of the big teams next season. Glenalvin is hit more by pitchers than any other Chicago players. He 1b either a mark for the twirlers, or unusually awkward in dodging. Shaw end the Sacramento crowd don't hitch. In fact, their remarks during a game so unnerves him that he can scarcely play his game. In consequence of the injury received by colliding -with Duogan, Stapltton will not be able to appear in hiB position for a week more at least. Those who have saen the Spokanes play, say that any of the California League teams wonld'nt be in it wifh the Pa- cific North-West champions. Eddie Howell and Billy Farrell, late of the Sacramentos, left yesterday for Fresno where they are under engagement to play with Ed Austin's team. Jack Crooks, the second baseman, will be out here again this winter with one of Comiskey's teams. Ed. Crane, the pitcher, will also be with the party. In Everett, the Friscos have a hard "sticking" infielder aud one whose mind is on the game from the time "play ball" is called till the last man is out. The race is becoming intensely interesting, and whether the pennant will float over Sacramento, Oakland or San Francisco, is as yet a betting proposition. In practicing Wednesday, Lookabaugh had the nail of tbe index finger of his right hand completely torn off, which will prevent his occupying the box for some little time. Manager Barnie secured a great battery in McMahon and RobinsoD, late of the Athletics, and aided by the new strength lately introduced, his team is more than holding their own. McCarthy is slowly recovering from his rheumatism. He is still under his physicians care, but is taking light practic- with the team. It is doubtful if he can go in the box be- fore a month. Fogarty says he's bottled up with choice bits of informa- tion of events to be sprung in 1S90. When asked to pop he declined, saying: "Excuse me, but I've lost me ooiksorew." — Philadelphia Inquirer. Pete Sweeney has taken another move. He is now play- ing third base for tbe new Athletic Club of Philadelphia. Pete has played with St. Louis, St. Paul, Louisville and the Athletics all in one season. MoBt likely, Charley Tillson, who lately received an offer from Sacramento, and Matt Stanley the clever little etcher now with Fresno, will both have an engagement with one of the teams for next Beason. The Sacramentos are called the Senators; the Oaklandd,tbe Colonels; the StocktonB, the Gas City's or Gastowns and the San Franciscos are now referred to as the Metropolitans, Goblins or Finns Cripples. Tip O'Neill (not the Colonel's Tip)) but the O'Neill who lead tbe American Association batsmen in 'S7, aud at one time the brilliant outfielder, will not be played with the Chi- cagos next season as hiB arm is said to be completely gone. "There," said the little girl, "Ma always said that these base ball games are full of quarrels and tights. Here I see by the paper that one club, not content with beating the other, has gone to work and actually whitewashed them.1' Manager Enright now gets back at his high priced team by fining them for the most trivial offence. Not long ago Harper was slow in handling two ground hits and although he got one of the men out he was lined $5 for each offence. With Comiskej's two teams, Barnie'B "All Californias." Leonard's Omahas, the champion Spokanes, and all the native son base ballists who winter here, the interval between the closing of the season and the opening of next, will be well covered with exhibitions. Last Sunday Dungan collided with Stapleton with such force as to knock him off his feet and badly wrencted hia ankle. "Stape" had to be carried eff the field and conveyed to his home in a carriage. The Brooklyn Eagle says that "John Ward's Brooklyns are the most remarkable nine in the country when unity of pur- pose and absolute good feeling is considered. There isn't a vestige of cliqueism, and the men act toward each other like brothers." The same might truthfully be said of the Sacra- mentos — Ed. Besides the many good ball players California haB sent East, she has also sent one of the brainiest umpires who ever made his debut on a diamond and if needed could send three mor6 of equal intelligence and cleverness. They are Gagus, Donohue and Sweeney, who with Jaok Sheridan make a most judicious quartette. Stevens' appearance on the ball field is desceptive. Although to the general public he appears to be moping, there is no player in the Metropolitans that is more alive to every play than the big right fielder. StevenB is a player from **way back," and is a heavy "sticker" and fine right fielder. HiB only drawback is, slowness on the paths. The Spokanes are the champions of the Northwestern League and the Kansas Citys, of the Western Association. Most probably Boston will take the pennant for the Players League, Brooklyn of the National and Louisville of tbe American Association, but just where the bird of victory will perch in the California League is yet a matter of conjec- ture. Powers, Hardie, Smalley and Long of Barnies "All Cali- fornias" need no advance agent as all are well and favorably known in California. Harry Raymond, the third baseman is also a Californian and played with Los Angeles while Nor- man Baker will be remembered as the clever but eccentric pitcher of the Stocktons in '88. "Hub" Collins the second baseman of tbe Brooklyns was here in '86 with Jim Hart's Louisvilles, playing left field for that famous team. Manager Barnie, of the Baltimores, talks of taking a club to California this winter to be composed of California players as follows: Power, of Baltimore, first oase and captain; Collins, of Brooklyn, second base; Smalley, of Cleveland, short Btop; Raymond, of LouiBville, third base: Davis, of Cleveland, left field; Long, of Baltimore, center field; Burns, of Brooklyn, right field; pitchers. Baker, of Baltimore; Nieh- oIb, of Boston, and Lovett, of Brooklyn; catchers, Hardie, of BoBton; Townsend, of Baltimore,— Sporting News. Boston has ten players in the Brotherhood team who have been with championship clubs in former years. They are Brouthers, Riobardson, Kelly, Stovey, Itwin, Radbource, Madden, Quinn.Morphy and Daley. Brouthers and Richard- son were with the champion Detroits of 'S7, Kelly with Chi- cago's pennant winneis of 1S87 and 1886, Radbourne and Ir- win with Providence in 1884, Qoinn with Des Moines in 1888, Daley with Jersey City in 1889, Madden with Portland in 1886, Stovey with the Athletics in 1883 and Murphy with Lowell last year.— Chicago Sportsman. Tbe Continental Hotel, where the team is staying, is crow- ded with base ball men all day. Champion John L. Sullivan is stopping here with his company. John is very anxious to see Boston win the pennant, and says that Mike Kelly is the greatest ball player in tbe world. It's amnsing to see the crowds come and look over tne two best advertised men to- day in the Bporting world. Both are in tbe pink of condition, and both inclined to lika the theatrical profession. "I lay, John," said Kelly, as the two stars stood among a group of admirers. "I think you should have an understudy, and I am your man." "That's right," answered John, "but Boston most have you to take care of her baseball interests." — Boston Herald. The National Base Ball League of Great Britain is now firmly established, in fact tbe season is about over. Next season the League will be enlarged by the addition of several other clubs, and the organization will be stronger than ever. The fact that about all the olubs have paid expenses this year speaks volumes for tbe future success of baseball in England. Manager Hart of last year's Boston team is now in England, aud in a letter to the writer, says tbat the future success of base ball in England is assured. "You would be surprised," writes Hart, "to see how proficient the Englishmen are becoming in the game. They are fielding well and run their bases almost as well as their American cousins. They will in time become good batsmen, althcugh the mystery of cur\ : pitching haB mixed them up a bit." — Exchange. 310 Tpte %xtt&zx atrd jipm'fsmau. Oct. 4 The Amateurs.

The game last Sunday between the Young Giants and Railroaders was a peculiar one. A purse of S200 was to go to the winning team and this accentuated the rivalry between the two teams, who are fourth and fifth in the league race, respectively. Neither side put ap good ball, errors be. jog very frequent. The left side of the Burlingtons was especially weak and if not strengthened they can hope to win but few games. Toera was considerable unnecessary "joshing" in the game which should have been suppressed^ Both Rohan and Howell did excellent work in tfie b.ox; in fact the pitching was the only really commendable feature of the contest. The score was tied twice but the Giants forged ahead in the eighth on errors of the BurlingtonB, and so won handily. In the Brst inning, with two out, Traynor of the Builingtons. banged out a double to the right field' stole third and scored on Levy's poor throw to catch him at that bag. They made three in the sixth. Wilds hit sa'ely and Traynor reached first on Deeney's error. Mulvey'B sin- gle advanced each a base, and Rohan's deep double to left center cleared the bases. The next three men went out in order. In the seventh, Crowley led off with a single along the third base line, and took second on Tillson's error of Strand's hit. Wilds then banged a hot one to TUlson, foro. ing Strand at second, but through Strand's interference, Till, son in attempting a double play threw wild and Crowley scored. This was the extent of their run getting. The "Will and Fincks tallied one in the Becond. With one out, Sulli. van hit safely and was advanced to second and third on a baBe on bills and batsman hit by pitched ball and scored on Conway's sacrifice, Strand to Traynor. They got another in the fourth. Sweeney wasBafe on Fitzgerald's error, but was forced at second on Gormley's hit to third. Strand threw wild to double up Gormley and he went to second; he stole third and came home on Traynor's muff of ball thrown him to catch Howell, who reached first on balls, napping. Farrell's corking three bagger and a wild pitch gave the Giants an- other run in the fifth. On errors of Fitzgerald and Kelly Kelmas went to third and scored on Farrell's sacrifice hit on which Fitzgerald erred, Farrell reaching Becond. He Btole third and scored on Fitzgerald's poor throw to the plate. In the eighth they added three more runs. Deeney was awarded hiBbase on balls, reached second on StraDd's error of throw down, went to third on Saunder's error of Gormley's hit and Conway's long triple scored both men. Howell's sacrifice to Rohan sent Conway across the plate. Sullivan in the ninth, made a single to right, took eeeond.on Levy's out at the plate, stole third, and on Rohan's failure to stop the ball on return to the box Sullivan tallied. The score: BURLINGTONS. ! BH SB PO A E VALLEJOS vs. DAILY REPORTS. Sunpat, Sept. 28th, 1890, at Vallejo. The Reports received, besides an awfal drubbing, their first shut out of the season last Sunday. It was indeed a great achievement for the Marines, for besides defeating the team that for a considerable period was reckoned as "sure pennant winners," they boosted themselves very close to Bec- ond position. Sprague kept the ball over the plate all through the game, allowing but a Bingle to base on balls and bting touched out for only three hits. His support was of the Class 4. kind. Farrell at the receiving end and Smith, Hughes, McGuire and Murdock oo the infield accepted every- thing that came their way in great shape. There were two errors made by the outfield, but they did no special damage outside of disfiguring the fielders scores. Williams was iu the box for the Newsies.and although generally strong against this team, he was pluncked out at a lively rate. His support from all sides was poor, while the Vallejos experienced no difficulty in stealing eight bases off Green. The Reports were short a player, and McCarthy, a Vallejo man, was put in. butproved to be a poor ''find," both in his position and at the bat. McGuire, Bogle, Murdock, Stanford and Smith led the hitting with a brace of hits each.

Lolly Dunn should have a berth with one of the Amateur teams. Saunders and Fitzgerald were way off in their fielding last Sunday. Batchelder and Geo. Kelly did not play with the Burling tons Sunday. The E. T. AllenB have loBt one game more than the Santa Rosas have won. Monet was not with the ReportB on their trip to Vallejo Sunday, and his abience was greatly felt. Josh Reilly is now the long hitter in the League. Doubles, triples and home runs comeoftener to this player than to any other. WILL& FlNCHS, .Ml P. BH 6B PO A .

The Aliens have lost all of ten games this season bv a solitary tally. Frank Mulvey ib again a "Railroader," and although Wilds will undoubtedly do most of the catching for the team, Mul- vey will be kept steadily in right field on account of his heavy hitting. There are three of the amateur league players laid up with sprains or bruises. Billy Kennedy is still on crutches, and it will be several months before he can return to the diamond again. Lonny Delmas' ankle is in such condition as to pre- vent his playing for a couple of weeks at least, and Billy Far- rell is suffering from a Bprained back cauBed by lifting a heavy weight. The Santa Rosas built up their percentage on winnings from the two weakest teams — the Aliens and BurlingtoDs. Of their eighteen victories, six were gained from the Aliens and five from the Burlingtons. Vallejo has been the Sonoma bojs stumbling block, that team defeating them four times of six gameB played, while the Reports have a quit even with them, winning two out of four thus Jar. Although the season is well advanced, the pennant is not a '"cinch" for any team yet. While the Santa Rosas loom up formidably in the percentage column, on close compari- son it will be seen that they are but three games ahead of the VallejoB, while the Reports are a trifle ahead of the last named team. The Will A: Fincks have strengthened up con- siderably and are making a fast finish, and the Burlingtons and Aliens are due to yet leBsen the percentage of the lead- ers and thereby bunch the four first teams closer together. It now behooves the managers of all the teams to have a watchful eye for the ''weak spots" in their teams and as rap- idly as possible replaoe tbem by the strongest available material. Another important matter and in whioh the man- agers appear to be very lax is the enforcing of discipline in their teams. In this all important factor of success, we would say that the managers are too lenient, in fact negligent, in looking after the doings of their players Saturday nights. While ibis is an evening given np to social enjoyments of one kind or another by mostly all claSBen, it is the very night that ball players should most rigorously refrain from indul- gence of any kind. There are Borne players who, with the interests of their team at heart, are sensible enough to kuow that to do good work on the morrow requires a night of sound and refresh- ing sleep.which naturally produces a bright eye and clear in- tellect. Others, and they are generally of the "swelled head" claBB, think they are fulfilling their duty if, after "making a night of it," they drag their weary forms to the grounds, and, with eyes half opened, don their uniforms and remain in a trance all through the game, neither hitting the ball or field- ing their positions properly. And these are the very players who are only too willing to ascribe their defeat to a decision of the umpire or some other equally ridioulous and feeble ex- case: No matter whether you think you have a "snap" or whether it is to be your hardest game of the season, let your jollification take place after the game, and in justice to your team, your manager and yourself, retire at a reasonable hour Saturday nights. Bine Points in Scoring. Br Jacob C. Morse. The need of uniformity in scoring is as great as ever. The importance of this is no less than that of entiusting official scoring to expert hands. The averages thiB year will be of little practical use, both on account of the lack of uniformity and the unreliability of the scorers. 1 have found that there exists among scoiers the greatest uncertainty as to what con- stitutes a stolen base. Some score a stolen base to a man if he makes the attempt to steal, as soon as the ball has left the hand of the pitcher, and not on account of any battery error. If the attempt is concomitant with the pitching of the ball, then a passed ball, wild pitch, or wild throw, will not effect the steal. Others will not give a e-talen base unless the Bteal is a clean one, i e., unattended with any error. In the for- mer case, the runner is given credit for his attempt; in the latter case, this may, and may not, be the case. Some scor- ers give a stolen base on a base made after a fly is caught by an outfielder. If the making of the base arises more out of the Bpeed and ability of tbe runner, and it this that outstrips the throw, well and good; but often a base is thus made on a ball batted out bo far that the retirement of the rnnner is out of the question, and all he has to do is to leisurely pro- oeed to the home bass. Some scorers give a Btolen base where a base runner makes home from second base on an infield hit, and this is manifestly proper as it requires great dating, judgment, speed and skill to make such a play. One can easily see how very unsettled are the tine points, of scoring in the matter of stolen bases alone. Scorers differ also on the following point. Suppose a man is on first and one out. An outfielder muffs a fly, but re- covers and puts out the man at second. Many scorers give the outfielder an error, bat there has been nothing lost through the play, and, indeed, there may have been some- thing gained, as. for instance, the man forced at second may he a good runner, and a poor one replaces him. Some scorers do not give an error on a foul fly, palpably muffed, unless the batsman afterwards gets his base. Now suppose there iB a man on third, two out, and the citcher or an infielder muffs a foul fly. A wild pitch or a paBsed ball lets in a run, but the batsman afterwards goes out. Why should the error not be scored? Again, why net go on in the way these scorers reason, and argue that no error should be scored against any infielder, unless a ran results from the error? Here is a batsman, for instance, who hits a foul that is dropped. He then gets a base on balls, but this does not result seriously. Why score an error against the fielder in such a case? Sach matters ought to receive more attention than they have received, and there is sorely as much necessity for a conference of the secretary of any league with the official scorerB, as there is between the secretary and the umpires. The readers of newspapers are very critical students of the scores and the importance of such a matter cannot be under- rated. At present, every one is allowed to score just as he is inclined, and the result is general confusion and gross inac- curacies. In a recent game. I noticed at least a dozen (scarcely less) errors in an official score. There were omis- sions in stolen bases and in assists. It was the result of in- competency, pure and simple, and I would say here that it did Dot occur in Boston . In sacrifice hitting, too, there exists confusion as great as in the matter of stolen bases. I bave found that some scorers only give a sacrifice with one haDd out; some do not scoie a sacrifice, even if a base has been gained through an error with no one out; others score a sacrifice bit on any- thing that advances a runner when there was no one out or but one hand out. In this department the need for a care- ful revision is obvious. SCHEDULE OF GAMES —OF THE— CALIFOENIA Base Ball League, SEASON 1890. October 4th to October 11th.

Harry Casidy of the Alpine Club and his clnb mate A. Cooke are both out with challenges to two membeps of the Olympic Club. The former wants to run Frank Cooley two miles level while Cooke would like a go at Horace Coffin in a 3-mile walk. A conple of weeks ago Mr. Casidy through the Breeder and Sportsman challenged Cooley to a one mile rnn but the defy was not taken up. Mr. Cooley explains that while he is not at all afraid of being defeated he cannot at the present time afford fo put up money for a trophy es wonld be deoided might possibly be able to subscribe a posed of good material, and will no doubt gain many honors sum of money towards increasing the value of the trophies on the racing path next year. The Bay City Wheelmen Association formally disbanded last Monday night for the purpose of affiliating with tbe cor- poration. The Board of Directors has been divided into a number of committees in order to work to greater advantage. In addition to the proposed Thanksgiving tournament, an effort will be made to secure the Mechanics' Pavilion for a week to give races every night. A track will be built and everything possible done to afford the competitors a chance to make or break records. This idea is an excellent one, and all the clubs should unite with the B. C. W. in trying to boom the proposition. There is no reason why large crowds of people shouid not attend every night to witness the con- teats, which will be quite novel. Captain Sanford Plumtner, of the Bay City Wheelmen, will hold his first club run immediately after October 15th, when all the members sball have signed the new by-laws. G . P. Wetmore, W. M. Meeker and Calvin N. Langton con- stitute the B C. W. house committee, and in their hands the building is sure to be a success. Tbe late rains have put the roads in excellent oondition, and Captain Plammer and Lieutenant Hammer will go scour- ing out for suitable places to hold their future club runs. Another wbist tournament is about t9 be started by the B. C. W. similar to the one which was so successfully held last wioter. Mr. Harris, one of the men who was to have raced in the late road race at San Leandro, has received his pneumatic tired wheel It is a most ungainly thing to look at, but is geared to 63 or 65 inches, and is remarkably easy running. Some of the wheelmen who have tried the track at the Olympic Club grounds, say that it 1b better adapted for faster time than the old track was at 14th and Center streets, Oakland. CLUB JOTTINGS. The Golden Gate Athletic Club appears to be dead. Prob- ably if the California Club gets the best of the law, the G. G. A. C. may make a bid for fame again. We hope the test case wi!l be decided against the prize fightiDg community, for then there will be some chance of reforming the youths of San Francisco. The Acme Athletic Club of Oakland will give a fine in-door exhibition at the Oakland Theatre on October 9th. Several members of the Olympic Club of this city have volunteered their services, and the entertainment promises to be well worth the price of admission. Prof. Jim Corbett will spar with BoS McCord. Vice-President E. A. Kex, of the O. A. C, left for the East last week. He will attend the championship games, which will be held at Washington, D. C, October 11th. The Lurline Club will shortly be re-or&auized . The pres- ent condition of affairs is not at all satisfactory, and unless something is done in the near future the clab may go over to the s lent few. The fact that one of the officers got away with the proceeds of the pionio which was held at Wild wood Glen, Sausalito, some months ago, has tended to financially cripple the organization, and many members have left the club in disgust. The approach of winter is another draw- back, as the majority of the members are interested in swim- '' Cooke's proposition is rather a curious one and if he agrees to put twenty or thirty dollars against a like amount from Mr Coffin the winner to withdraw his stake and buy a prize with the losers money the Olympian will possibly oblige the II Alpinite by walking him a race of any distance. If anything comes of either challenge it would be a good idea to have both races coroo oil on the same day in conjunction with other events when the club under whose auspices the malch- for the winnors of the match races The "coy inseots" at Sacramento proved a great annoyance ' to the visiting athletes. One of the Alpine men suggested that a committee on "skelters" be appointed, whose duty would be to walk around all night with fans and protect the I amateurs who had to run next day. Garrison states that when the pistol was fired for the "quarter" he escaped a large skelter coming for him in the distance and henoe his SDeed. "J. W. Creagh who won the "hundred" at Saoramento, is a very promising man. Previous to the race he had his spikes on but twice and judging from this he should without trouble be able to repeat tbe same performance from scratch with a month's careful practice. The Alpine Club at the present time is without a good boxer and will probably not be represented at the coming boxing tournament. The track at the Olympic grounds Beems to improve as it grows oid. Next Bummer, if kept in good order from now on, it will be in fine condition for record breaking. Professor Garrison, of the Alpine Clnb, laughed out right when asked by one of our representatives if he had sanc- tioned that sweeping challenge which said that he was willing to run any amateur in America from 100 yaTde to half a mile for a S 100 medal "The newspapers must have something to talk about," F.iid John, "and let them go ahead. My pile of medals is increasing fast enough, and I am satisfied w.th- ont wanting to be too mnch o£ a hog. One of tbe outsiders who won a second prize at the Alpine games last May, desires to know when the prizes will be given out. The club should give the outsiders their prizes as there are only four of them and ask its own members to wait for theirs until there is more money in the cash box. J. W. Flynn is in fine trim and it is not at all improbable but that he will carry the flying O to the front in the hun- dred at next year's championship meeting. Ed Cahtll, of the Olympic Club, and Fred Holland, of the Alpines, will probably make a match to run ten miles before long. The Olympian, elited by J. P. Bean, has made its appear- ance. It is a very neat publication and is devoted to physi- cal culture and athletes. The first number was issued on September 25th. and contains several good articles on physi- cal culture. Mr. Bean is a well known instructor iu boxing and physical culture and is a prominent member of the Al- pine Clnb. We wish him success in his undertaking. Clement J. Sohuester has been appointed assistant leader to Eddie Kolb, of the Olympic Club. Owing to the fine inducements offered to its young mem- bers by the Olympic Club both the out door grounds and the gymnasium are now well patronized by athletes who sigh for the possession of the valaable trophies which will be awarded during the winter. THE WHEEL. At the Olympic Club sports on October 25th O. F. Morgan of the Welsh Racing Cyclist Club will attempt to lower the Pacific Coast reco-d for one mile. His club mate, Mr. Harris, will try to knock out the record for five miles. Mr. Vincent, of the Alameda Bicycle Club, severely sprained his ankle by a fall a few days since while practicing fancy riding on hia machine in Tony Oakes' hall, Hay- wards . He will be laid np for several weeks. B. A. Smythe is going to join the Alameda Bioycle Club. The Bay City Wheelmen will hold a handicap tournament on Thanksgiving Day, and if the Haight Street grounds can be secured°the corners will be built np and the track pnt into good candition. The club will bring an expert trainer out from Bofcton to train its members, about fifteen of whom will enter the races. Prizes will be given to the different winners except in the novice races, for which medals will be awarded. - The Alameda Bioycle Club, owing to its increased member- ship, has teen able to secure fine club rooms on Eailroad Avenue, near Park Street. A grand opening will Bhortly be given. The following are some of the most prominent mem- bers: Jesse Ives. Fred White, Harry Potter, Henry Williams, Will Hebard, Cbarley Hanley, Judge Tappin, C. Conkey, Bart Boyle, F K. Howlett, C. M. Culver, Mr. Burke, Walter Foster, Will Foster, Fred Brown, Ed. Bradley. There are now over thirty names on the roll of membership. Seventeen of the members rode to Haywards on Sunday and took breakfast at Tony Oakes. A week ago Sunday B. M Thompson, C. W. Hammer and George P. Wetmore of the B. C. W. rode to Point Bonita. Hammer had a very narrow escape from a sudden death, as his wheel Blid over the cliff and was caught in some bushes fifty feet below. Mr. Hammer was left standing on the brink bewailing the loss of his lunch while all the scare of the occasion seemed to be in the other riders who witnessed the affair. The Bay City's will probably rattle aaain the wheel they had np before and which was won by the club. Only 125 or 150 tickets will be sold this time. Jesse Ives will hardly bother about putting in a claim of foul against Smith in connection with the late road race at San Leandro. . ' Iu oonneotion with the incorporation of the B C. W., the papers have already been returned from Sacramento, and the Directors are now in search of a lot upon which to erect a clubhouse. They have several good Bites in view, and as soon as they agree on a choice operations on the building will at once be commenced. The new club bouse will be a handsome structure, and will be planned by George P. Wet- more, who is an experienced architect. It will contain wheel rooms, locker room*, smokiog and billiard rooms, parlors, cheBS and card room, meeting rooms, library and reading rooms, etc. The Bui'ding Committee expect to have every- thing complete inside of six months from now. Rather an innovatioa in clnb affairs was deoided on at the first annual meeting of the members of the new corporation when Sanford Plummer was elected Captain for the ensuing year. The Captain is the only road officer elected by the club he having the power to appoint whatever lieutenants he may desire C. W. Hammer has been appointed First Lieutenant. The two named, with T. H. Doane and George P. Wetmore, constitute the "big four," as they are common- ly called, and are known as inveterate road riders. The clnb intends keeping a full list of road maps and information con- cerning the condition of roads throughout the State for the benefit of its members and any others who may require in- formation. Communications should be addressed to G. P. Wetmore, Secretary B. C. W., 17 Franklin street, San Fian- cisco. n. We are in reoeipt of an invitation from the Alameda Bicy- cle Club to attend a banquet to be held at its clnb rooms thiB evening. The members of the Oik'and Bicycle Club have heenkeep- ieg very quiet of lale. but tbe lite election of officers w probably help to stir the boys to action. The club is oom- mmg. The Binoker concert of the Olympic Club which was held at the club rooms on Thursday evening last was a grand suc- cess. The programme was a happy one and was greatly en- joyed by the large number of ladies and gentlemen who were fortunate enough to be present. The Alpine Club is still looated at Central Park. We wish this very promising young organization every possible suc- cess, and if we address a few remarks to the officers and members it is because we have this interest at heart. By remaining in their present quarters they are doing themselves a great injury and the sooner theysecure more suitable rooms the better for their own good. Central Park never was a proper place for an amateur athletic club to locate and as the years roll by the place does not seem to improve any eisher in appearance or in the quality of its surroandings. The olub room now occupied by the Alpine boys and for whioh they pay a very big rent is more suited for circus beasts than for human beings. The room is a disgrace and the grounds themselves are much akin to the dump lots of North Beach. There is no track, no convenience of any kind and gentlemen should blnsh to be connected with such an institution. The olub is at the present time comprised namely of ont-door athletes and bv securing a comfortable suite of rooms in a nice neighborhood where the boys could meet in the evening and talk over matters of interest to themselves, the reputa- tion of the organization wonld grow better and it would gain instead of lose members. As the majority of the Alpine boys train at the Bay District Track, there is no necessity for the club to rent grounds. We sincerely hope that before suoh excellent material is scattered to the winds that some change may be made. 1 AT THE OARS. At the Alameda Eastary on Sunday, two picked crews from the Alameda Boating Clnb rowed a match race. George Hamilton was starter. The winning crew was made np as follows: A. Dennis. C, Broeoke, S. Shoemaker and W. Os- born (coxswain). The other crew was as follows: M. Trorer, J. Hartman, G. Cramer, L. Brown and L. Schroeder (coxswain). THE ALPINE ROAD RACE. Tbe first prize handicap road race was held at San Leandro on Sunday morning. Out of twenty-five entries only seven men toed the mark. Several of the men missed the boat, hence tbe small number of starters. C. Meyer, who had a start of three minutes, won. A. Cooke, one minute, was seo- ond, and H. C. Casidy, the scratoh man, third. Both Cooke and CaBidy ran fine, and the latter, despite his heavy handi- caps oame within an ace of winning. He was only filteen seconds behind the first man. W. T. Vollmer three min- utes, finished fourth. The winner's lime was 26 minutes. Casidy finished in 24:16, and Cooke in 24:10. The prizes were: first, a pair of running shoes; second, woolen sweater; third, a band bag. Capt. Garrison acted as handicapper and starter. THE 600 YARD RUN AT THE OLYMPIC GROUNDS There was quite a sprinkling of spectators at the ont-door grounds of the Olympio Club last Sunday forenoon, to wit- ness the handicap 600-yard rnn for members of the clab. The following were the handioaps and starters: S. V. Casady scratch; P. Wand, F. G. O'Kane, C. A. Jelle- neak and E. M. Espinosa enoh 15 yards; J. C. Kortick 9; W. Collins 20; W. Toomey, R. McArthnr, F L. Cooley and J. A. Christie each 25; EL. Gross, J. L Woolrich and G. F. Hammeraly eaoh 30: F. J. Redding 35; S. G. Gronoher 40. Casady won by two yards. Time 1:16$. McArthnr sec- ond.

Mr. H. H. Briggs, who for more than four years has been connected with this paper, has but recently severed his connection therewith. He is an able writer and a thorough sportsman, being well versed in matters per- taining to the kennel, rod and gun. He is succeeded on our staff by Mr. G. W. Kyle, recently of Colorado, who is a gentleman of large experience and acquaintance in the East and throughout the country in sporting circles. He will endeavor to conduct the above mpntioned de- partment of thiB paper to the best of his ability in the line of legitimate Bport's, and asks for the hearty co-op- eration of all sportsmen of the country to this end. We bespeak for him a successful course. Farmers' Institutes. We have received Bulletin No. 4, Wisconsin Farmers' Institutes. It makes a book of 352 pages — a hand book of Agriculture, containing a verbatim report of the clos- ing Institute of three days, short, pithy experience in all branches of farming, and the hundreds of questions are answered resulting in a general discussion, making the richest publication upon Dairying, Horse Breeding, Swine and Sheep Husbandry as given at sixty- six two- day Institutes held in the State last winter. This book is sent at cost price to eocourage farmers to read, think, and band themselves together in similar meetings for mutual improvement and benefit. Wisconsin for twenty years has been holding farmers' meetings. Send 30 cents to W. H Morrison, Madison, Wis., who is Superintend- ent of the Farmers' Institute work of that State, and you will receive a volume that will bear reading and re- reading. Young Salmon. Mr. F. P. Callundan has received a communication from Mr. William West of Napa, thanking the Fish Commission for their consignment of the 30,000 salmon sent recently to that section. The fish were received in excellent condition. Mr. West promises, on behalf of the good citizens of that region, that the fish will be effectu ally protected, and suggests that a deputy be appointed to supervise and lend assistance to the enforcement of the law in that particular. Important Auction Sale of Stock. At many of the principal meetings of the various Breeders' Associations, one of the features is always the selling of first class stock, and those who attend, do so, not only for the purpose of witnessing the speed contests but also to see how many rare bargains can be picked up when stock is disposed of. During the coming meeting of the Pacifie Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders' Association, Messrs. Killip & Co. will dispose of over forty lots, the property of Wilfred Page, Esq., of Penn's Grove, Sonoma County. Before the present issue of this paper reaches our readers the catalogues will have been issued, and those who do not receive them through the mail should make immediate application for one, as it will amply repay perusal.

The Breeders' Meeting. As the time draws near for the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association, the interest in this annual event increases, and there ip every assurance that the gathering of horsemen from all over the State at Napa will far exceed in numbers any hith- erto held in California. That there will be plenty of racing, and of the very best, goes without saying, and that there will be senBatioaal performances no one can doubt. Sunoland Palo Alto will be there in all proba- bility, and then we have Margaret S 2:12£, to go against her record, which, if she beats it, will demon- strate the fact that the regulation track in California is even better than the kite-shaped track which has jumped into popularity so quickly in the Eastern States. There are hundreds, yes thousands, who predict that Mr. Salis- bury's four-year-old filly will have no trouble in accom- plishing the desired end. The San Mateo Stock Farm will be represented by Regal Wilkes, who made a na- tional reputation for himself last year by lowering the two-year-old stallion record to 2:20$; already he is able and fit to knock a great many seconds off that time, and we look for a sensational mile, from Mr. Corbitt's young horse. Mr. Goldsmith has telegraphed that in a trial at Fres- no Stamboul accomplished a mile in 2:14, and to those who know this remarkable stallion it is easy to conceive that his present mark of 2: 1-.'. will be materially les- sened. Then rumor is rife that Norlaine's yearling re- cord is to be swept from the boards, and there are those who predict that about 2:28 will be made. Thete are a number of fast yearlings now in training, and it is with- in the bounds of possibility that another than Norliine will wear the yearlings* crown after the Breeders' Meet- ing. In addition to these there are the tried campaign- ers, who have been down the line this season, and those who attend the meeting will see such racing as will sat- isfy the desires of the most fastidious. The Terra Haute Guaranteed Purse. The "Vigo Agricultural Society has evidently deter* mined that they will leave no stone unturned to make their $11,000 Futurity Purse one of the most successful which has ever been instituted. As our readers are aware, the stake closes on the 1st of November next, when nominations must be made, for foals of 1890; $11,- 000 is guaranteed by the Directors of the Association, of which $5,000 will go to the winner, $2,500 to the sec- ond horse, $1,500 to the third, and $1,000 to the fourth, with S 1,000 to be given to the breeder of the wianer in money or plate, at the option of the breeder. The cor- poration consists of many of the principal business men of Torre Haute, and to show the world that fie money will surely be given, they have sent out circulars indorsed by twenty-seven merchants, bankers and capi- talists, and the list does not contain a name that is not amply responsible for the amount named, and were the aggregate wealth of the list computed, it would be found to be the financially strongest backed indorsement ever placed behind a purse. , The payment to this great stake are $10 to accompany the nomination on November 1, 1890; $10 on April 1, 1891; $10 October 1, 1891; $10 April 1, 1892; $10 Octo- ber 1, 1892; $10 April 1, 1893; $15 Ootober 1, 1893; $25 April l,1894,and$100for Btacters payable August 1,1894, the race to take place during the latter part of that month at Terra Haute, Indiana, under the rules of the Association of which that track is then a member. A special provision is also made that in case the total amount received as payments and forfeits on nominations shall amount to more than the amount guaranteed, viz., $11,000, then and in that event fiftv per cent, of such excess shall be added to the first money. It is estimated that this will make the first money amount to $9,000 or mire, and should the winning horse be started in the race by the person who is also the breeder, the first money will in all probability exceed $10,000. One of the conditions of the stake is that the nominator will be required to state the name, color and sex of foal; also to give the names of the sire, the dam and the sire of the dam when such is known; also to name the post office addresa of the actual breeder of each foal nominated. Nominations shall follow ownership of the foal, and the bona fide sale of any nominated foal prior to August 1, 1894, will entitle it to start against any other foal entered by the same nominator. The clause relative to transfer of nominations shall not be construed to apply to that part of the purse to be awarded to the breeder of the winner, as it is a part- of the purpose of this purse that $1,000 in money or plate shall go to the actual breeder, and that said breeder's in- terest to this extent in the purse shall be non transfer- able. Another very favorable clause which the Association has in its condition is that in the event of injury or ac- cident to any foal nominated therein, that the nomina- tor shall have the right at any time on or before April 1, 1891, to substitute another foal for that one originally nominated, subject, however, to the following restriction, that the substituted foal must have been owned by the nominator at ihe time he made the original nomination. The many breeders in California should make large entries in this purse, as there is a strong probability that it will prove to be one of the largest trotting stakes ever instituted in the country. Letter From Dr. Hicks. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — As I have been re- peatedly asked "how I came to make that mistake in claim. iog 'Sister V'aB one of my stook," and as my prompt bat short disclaimer was printed at the bottom of the last page of reading matter in the Breeder, and has been overlooked by all who have reproached me for an inexcusable blander, or still worse, an attempt to claim for my stook what was not their due. I ask spaoe in your widely read journal for a fuller explanation. My friend who writes over the initial "H"' in his article on Flaxtail, oredited Sister V. to my stook, I did not write the article, did not famish the fact*, nor see the artiole until I saw it in the Breeder and Sportsman, nod am in no wise responsible for the mistake, and on seeing it wrote at once to correct the error. On the other hand "H" has omitted from his credits Scota 2:294 by Singleton, son of Lightfoot, and Solitaire 2:32$ also by Singleton, and Cora, two-year-old record 2:43 out of Pearl, a daughter of Lightfoot, and Wayland W., iwo-year. old recor.l 2:341, out of a daughter of Mary. It will be seen by a referenoe to "H's" article and this oor* reel inn that four of the seven Flaxtail mares hs names have produced sons tbst have already Hired 2:30 performers. One of them is a horse that never sired a 2:30 performer, and that never sired any other son that got a 2:30 performer, nor any daughter that produced a 2:30 performer. Even Dr. Blank (for whose benefit I understand "H's" r.icle was written) while ridiculing Flaxtail, will have to ai* mil that this instance at least, looks as though Flaxtail blood had something to do with it. 1890 n, Mahdi, on6 of the best of our steeplechasers (and we have some good 'chasers and the men to ride them, as even that chronic growler "Pendrjgon" of the London Refereee had to acknowledge when out here), broke his leg last week when running in the Adelaide fiaoing Club Grand National Stee plechase; by Glorious from Bluey; he haB shown many good ones over the sticks in most of the Australian colonies. A few weeks ago, with 11 stone up, he ran third in the Vic_ toria Racing Club Grand National Steeplechase, and through his long career be has fallen but twice, the second event causing his death. Old Mahdi was an identity with the race going public. The SpriDg meeting of the Victoria Pacing Club to be held next November, will be the biggest SpriDg event yet brought off this side of the globe, as no less than £29,000 is to be given as added money. £10,000 of this goes to the Melbourne Cup, for which the Champion Carbine fs most frincied by the public at the present time. However, the Eandwick Spring meeting will throw some light upon the form of many of the cracks, and as this fixture will be a thing of the past before my next letter is written. I ought to be able to pen some interesting matter for my American read- ers. "Ike Jungle," Trotters for the Bast. VETEPJNARY.

Gold- smith has been driving down the Grand Circuit with much success, derives bis name from the union of the names of two characters, a stallion and a man. The sire of Simmocolon is Simmons, aod Colon was a formsr owner or trainer. Mr. Goldsmith ha* frequently been guyed by those who did not know the derivation of the name, as having spelled it wrong. When informed that the signification win not a point of pvinc- tuation the "joke" was on the other side. Simmocolon is a grandson of George Wilkes and a nephew of Rosa Wilkes, 2:18£.— (Kentucky Stock Farm.) You ar* wrong in reference to the name, the latter syllable being taken from the name uf his dam.

I have been told that it is a low spavin, and that ossidine would cure it. I tried it for a month but it caused the leg to swell and did not remove the lameness. I was then told that Kendal's Spavin Core would surely cure it, aod that I conld work the horses all the time. I have been using that ever since and my horse is still lame, and the swelling is as large a? ever. What am I to do for it, or is there any cure for it? Answer — What age is your horse? If he is very old his cbances are bad. Try the firing iron aad give him two months rest. C. L. In your issue of Sapt. 20th, you adyised me to remove warts from my horse's belly by ootting the skin round their base and taking them right out. Now I am told by several friends that his bowels would come out and I would kill my horse. Is that true. Answer. — There is little or no danger in cutting the skin there. However, it would be safer for you to get a qualified veterinary surgeon to do it. T. R. Thanks for your advice in the Breeder and Sportsman of August 16th. The treatment is simple aod effective. My hirse is almost all right now, but within the last week he has gone lame in the off hiod leg. When I was driving him he appeared to stumble with it and went dead lame; his fetlock is swoolen and sore to the toocb. I think it is sprained. Please advise me what to do for it. Answer. — Apply cold water from the hose to it morning and evening for a week. If the fever and inflammation have left it by that time, blister it. Subscriber. Is the following prescription good for colic? I am told that it is the best tning that can be used. Tincture of opium one ounce, sweet spirits of nitre one ounce, Jamaica ginger half an ounce. It was given to me by a friend last week when my horse had colic. The first dose relieved him a good deal and the seond dose cured him. Answer. — It is a very good colic cure.

When called up for the second heat A is^crippled and can not start. B & C run the heat out and it is won by B. Does C have a right to run the race out against B, or was the race finished when the second heat was run as far as C is concerned. The race was advertised to be governed by tbe Pacific Coast Kules. An early answer in the Breeder and Sportsman would great- ly oblige. Answer.— C cannot start in the third heat. W. S. R.

The Fresno Fair which has slowly but surely forced itself to the front as one of the best trotting and running meetings in California was to have opened out last Tuesday but Jupi- ter Plnvius is ever erratic and for two days previons he turned on the hose, consequently the raoes bad to be post* poned for one day to the sorrow of the assembled crowd which included most of the prominent horsemen of Califor- nia. Mr Salisbury was there with six head of well known performers, Direct, Margaret S, Homestake, Directa Gold medal and Decora and the lucky McDowell was there to propria persona to hold the lines over the crack Direotors while Goldsmith had a large string of the Wilkes horses all warranted to vjphold the reputation of Guy and his illust-ious sire George Wilkes. Percy Williams was there and hai Beaury Mc in good shape with the demon Buster, to drive him. Sbaner and Emma Temple were on hand and McCord wa meager for the fray with Mary Lou and Ned Winslow, C 0 Cory was on the alert with Patchen feeling certain he could beat any pacer in California as Cricket was on the Bhelf, aud several others werein from Nevada and Los Angeles. The running ele- ment was well upheld by W L. Appleby (Odette, Carmen Al- farafa etc..) Owen's Bros. (Daisy D Captain Al tt al), the MaH-ese Villa stables Mjzart Jodge Terry and others, and many minor lights. Unfortunately however the laces bad to be set back one day and on Wednesday the start was n aie with President Lewis Leach, F B Baldwin and W Helm in the stand as Judges. Three races were on the programme and the track was dead slow on the inside— iu fact all the horses bad to go about the middle of the track which explains the slow Lime made. The first race wai a district race for yearlings, half mile heats, eight youngsters turned out and the steadiest colt of the gang won in easy style a'tsr logins the finst heat The second race was a dead cinch for Sister V. who followed her victories on the cirouit by winning in hollow style in spit9 the hsavy going and a palpable lameness. The first race, a mile and a quarter handicap, running, bad four star- ters, and Odette, a red hot favorite won iu a hard canter. Time, 2:09— as a matter of fact 2:I0£ or my watch was wrong. YEARLING TROTTERS. First heat — Pools sold very slowly with April Fool choice at $20 to $7 for Selma Wi'kes aud $12 for the other six as a field. A long delay took place while the youngsters scored up first one and then another breaking and at lait the flag WdB dropped to a straggling start. Selma Wilkes going very steadily iook the lead round the turn and looked a winner all over, tut April Fool trotting in good style passed her at the drawgate and bad a three lengths lead. Bisby, however, came with a rush and was only just beaten by April Fool, Selma Wilkes third, and the rest strung out. Time 1:39. Mutuals paid $12 85-. Second heat. April Fool still continued choice, readily bringing $20 to $6 for Stlma Wilkes and$17f>r the field. After coming up half a dozen times a start was effected, Sel- ma Wilkes setting the pace to the turn when Bisby passed her and led into the stretch aTd Helmao keeping him going all the way won tbe heat by half a length. Selma three lengths in front of April Fool and ten lengths in alvauce of Poplar Girl, the reet strung out. Time, 1;35£. Mutuals pail $8 55. Third heat. The field soil favorite at $20 to $7 for April Fool. After an unprecedented delay tbe starter took the colts in haul and soon dropped his Hag, S^lma Wilkes took the lead, but breaking a couple of times was passed by Bisby who trotting very squarely and Bteadily drew further away every stride, winning easily by four lengths, Selma Wilkes second a length in front of Poplar Girl. Time, 1:34. Mu- tuals paid $8.45. SUMMARY. Hughes' Hotel stakes— Purse $7fi; for district yearlings {Mariposa, Merced and Fresno counties). Half-mile heats. C.

Sister V had proved herself to be immeasurably superior to her two opponents Tbe word was given the first time up. Nona Y stayed with SiBter to the turn, when she broke and dropped back last, while Sister went away from Mary Lou, passing the quarter four lengths in front, and retained her advantage all the way to the f'rawgate, when Goldsmith let up on her and Lou got to within a length of her. Nora broke on the backstreteh, and again on tbe upper turn, finishing twelve lengths be- hind tbe winner. Time, 2:27. Second heat— The word was given the third time up. Sis- ter at once went to the front, going round tbe turn two lengths in front of the pair, and going very steadily in- creased it to three at the quarter, when Nona broke, but did not lose by it. Sister improved the pace and Nona dropped baok. Sister turned into the homestretch two lengths in front of Mary Lou, three lengths in front of Nona Y. Mary Lou left her feet a furlong from home, but catching cleverly trotted very fast to tbe wire, being only beaten a neck, Nona Y sixty yards baok. Time, 2;22£. Third heat — The word was given at the second attempt. Mary Lou left her feet before the turn, and SiBter broke bally directly she left the stretch. Mary Lou was three lengths in front of, her when she caught with Nona four lengths bacK. Sister soon made up the last ground, being level with Mary Lou at the quarter, and then gradually in- creasing her lead passed tbe half, three lengths in front, the three quarters six lengths to the good, and won pulling up four lengths in front of Lou, 60 yards in front of Nona Y.

A slight sprinkle of rain in the morning made the road to the track better than yesterday, the duBt not being so ^eep. There were two raceson the programme, oneof half-uii!e h iats running, and a District Stallion race. The hist took three heats to decide, and the second was postponed on account of darkness. First raffe, special running, one-half mile heats. The starters were Inkerman, Joe Hooker and Wild Bill. Inker- man sold favorite for the first heat at 5 to 3for the held. The start was a ii!oe one for Inkerman and Hooker, the rider of Bill telling the starter that he was not in it and to pay no attention to him as he acted very badly at the post. They got away at the first attempt, Hooker slightly in the lead. He held his position and won by a length, Inkerman second, Bill third. Time, :4S$ sees.

Stimpson, the well known veterinary Burgeon of Oak'and, has an advertisement in this week's paper, offering for sale an imported Cleveland bay stallion. He is spoken of as a grand individual and a good breeder as his colts will show. ThiB stallion has been a prize winner in England, and as the price iB reasonable, he will undoubtedly Boon find a purchaser. H. E. Curry, who has been engaged with J. I. Case as manager and driver of Hickory Grove stock farm, has tender- ed his resignation. Jackson I. Case, Mr. Case's Bon, will handle the Btring of trotters from Hickory Grove during the balance of the season. He can drive with as much skill as a professional and keep his end up at any turn. Word has been received iu Sin Francisco that Orrin A. Hickok is in very poor health at present, and has decided not to return with his stable of horses, but will visit the Hot Springs of Arkansas for the purpose of recuperating. Mr. Hiokok's string of trotters will leave the East to-day under the charge of Mr. Marvin. Qaite a number of those interested in the Breeders Asso- ciation have been auxiouB to find out whether the Palo Alto stable now in the East, would take part in the annual meet- ing at Napa; the anxiety was heightened by the fact that many of the Eastern sporting journals have announced that Sunol and Palo Alto would start at tbe fall meeting to be held at Independence Iowa. It is now known, however, that Marvin will be on hand and we may expect to Bee an exhibition by the two cracks now in his stable. [Continued on Page 303.] Grim'e Gossip. Jimmy Goldsmith emphatically denies that he is going to train thoroughbreds next year. The Stout Bros., of Dubuque, Iowa, announce that the fee of Nutwood for 1891 will be $1,000. Another Steinway pacer has made a record; thia time it is Ceaser who, at Rochester, Minn., won a race, the fastest heat being 2:24|. Phallas has had another of hiB get go into the 2:30 list At Milwaukee last week Gus Voltz made a record of 2:29£-, and also won his race. The LockhaveD Stock Farm of Burbauk, Los Angeles County, Cal., desires to call the attention of the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman to the fact that they have several standard and non-standard mares and fillies by such sires aa Bonoie McGregor 2:13£, Monroe Chief 2:18i, Alcazar 2:202, Del Sur 2:24, etc., which they wish to exchangs for a well bred, good individual stallion; they wish olo that can stow speed, size, style and action. Those who have such a horse may hear of something to their benefit by addressing the manager at the address given above. Deaths of trotting horses on the track are becoming to be tf unuBUal frtquency. A few davs a,o the valuable five year- old mare Seraph, which had within a week previous obtained a record of 2:29}, dropped dead on the track at Defiance, O. The $10,000 stallion Almont was killed at the Uhriehsville, O., fair grounds a shaft of a sulky running into his breast, penetrating the heart. During tbe fair races at Racioe Wis. last Thursday, the four-year-old Bob Phallas, 2:32, fell dead. He was owned, by James McAnoany of Racine, and valued at $5,000. W.E. Shaw of 1621 Market St., San Francisco is turning out at present as tine sulkies as can be bought in tbe United States. Those who have purchased the latest 45 pound sulky declare that they are better than any that have been brought trom the East, and that for strength and durability they are superior to any ever seen on the coast. Mr. Shaw also manufactures carts for light work or track use, and oarriages and light vehicles of all description. To the professional trainers aDd drivers of the Pacific Coast we can thoroughly recommend the Shaw sulky. For tbe last few weeks dame rumor has kept her busy tongue at work, at one time asserting that Sunol would be wintered in Mr. Bonner's stable in New York, and again that the pride of California would be left under Mr. Marvin's man- agement for another year. Exictly what arrangements have been made we do not know, but it is certain that she will leave the Eastern States to-day (Saturday) for California. This evidently goes to show that Mr. Bonner has determined to let the Palo Alto driver have the mare for another season, and to that end has made up his own mind that the Califor- nia winter climate will be more beneficial to her than the extreme cold weather of the Eastern States. Cricket 2:10 is now receiving a well merited rest having been sent to Mr. Meek's farm near San Leandro. She was entered at Fresno and also at the Breeders Meeting, but will not appear again this year. At the Oregon State Fair last week Jim Merritt was one of the entries in tbe mile running race, his jockey being Tomp- kins, who is over sixty years old, and the horse himself is fourteen years old. They were in truth a venerable pair. Mr. J M. Learned of Stockton was in the city during the early portion of the week, and we spent several hours together talking over old reminiscences. The old horseman still stioks to it that Reliance was the fastest stallion ever foaled in the Slate. Tbe mares and fillies offered at private sale by W: J. Casey of Santa Clara will amply repay inspection. Flora Pieroe, one of the mares, is in foal to Antinous (son of Electioneer) while another of them, Maud Center, is in foal to Boxwood (a son of Nutwood.) Many inquiries have been made why Lillian Wilkes has not been seen this year as she showed up so well last Beasor. Mr. Corbitt informs me that the mare hm developed a pa r of splints that prevents work, so Bhe has been fired and turned out, In a telegram to Ariel Lathrop Eiq., Marvin states that he has sold Navidad 2;22|, but to whom sold or for what price is not stated. In the same telegram information is gi^«i that Colma by Electioneer, dam Sontag Mohawk, has made a record of 2:25£. On tbe kite-shaped traok at Kankakee. Nelson reduced the stallion record of the world by trotting a mile in 2:11 J. Al- though Axtell is now dethroned as king of the turf, Btill there are many who will look upoD him aa a better horse than Nelson owing to the fact that his 2:12 was made over the regulation track. Wilber Field Smith of Sacramento writes as follows to the Secretary of the Breeders' Association: Please alter the name of my entry in the Yearling Stake to trot at Napa from Algiers to Kebir. The reason is this: I entered him in sev- eral stakes under the name of Algiers, but when I came to have him registered as a standard trotter I found that the name was already taken. I took up the name of Kebir. He is registered No. 13107. He was entered in stakes here, at Sacramento, and as he had neier started, the name was changed without comment. I have trotted him since as Ke- bir, and that is the name he must go by. The good news is sent up from Fresno that Stambool bas regained all his old speed, and has shown a mile in 2:14. At the Breeders' MeetiDg he should be about ready to go the best mile of his life, and Johnny Goldsmith fully expects him to beat all Btallion records. That he could have done it last year there can be no question of doubt, but the elements were against the accomplishment of the task. Mr. Gold- smith also has his other charges in good form, and there is a prospect of a general lowering of records all round. One of the Sable Wilkes yearlings has been given a half-mile on tho Fresno track in 1:1U, an indication that Norlaine's yearling mark ia in danger. Messrs Killip & Co wish to have it known tbat the joint auction sale of standard trotting and roadster horses which they will sell on account of D. J. Murphy of San Jose and Col. Harry I. Thornton of San Francisco has been changed from Thursday, Ootober 23rd to Tuesday October 28th at 11 o'clock a. m., the sale to take plaee at the Railroad Stables, corner of Turk and Steiner streets. In all there wHl be about fifty head of stallions, mare', colts and rallies; the get of such celebrated horses as Electioneer, Whipple's HambletoniaD, George M. Patchen, Jr., Director, Soudan, Alexander and others. Catalogues will be issued within a few days giving a full description of the pedigrees-of the horses to be Bold. Marvin still occasionally picks up a few dollars for the Palo Alto farm, and has lately won a race with Navidad, which it seems really wonderful to me, has not been more generally noticed. At Cleveland ou September I9th he de- feated a field of eight competitors, among them being the well known Hussar and Twist, the best time being 2:23. Twis*, it will be remembered, is the trottor tbat defeated Cu- bic at Terre Haute in the early part of the season, and it was telegraphed from tbe Atlantic to the Pacific that Seoator Stanford's theory of breeding was a mistake. As yet the aB- Bociated press baok there have forgotten to mention that this lust race has taken place; probably they fancy by this time that the Senator's theory is more worthy of consideration than it waB in the early portion of the season. At tbe same meeting Alfred S. bad no difficulty in winning the 2: lb purse in straight heats.

Many excellent young animals are being broken for driving purposes and the speed contests this fall excelled those of former years owing to the large nnmber of high bred two and three year olds that competed for premiums. Those who are breeding horse3, however, do not confine their attention to racing animals only, for there are a number of splendid Norman stallions and other good draft animals, (while roadsters receive a full share or attention. On the eastern Bide of the county at Moore station, one of the leading breeders is E. H. Gould, who has a range of eight I thousand acres npon which he keeps many cattle and three I hundred head of horses and mules. He owns a fine Norfolk Hambletonian stallion "Top Gallant" and also nine Kentucky .jacks. He bred this season eighty mares. Daring seven , months his stock is kept on the Butte county range, and the remainder of the year the animals are kept at Big Meadows in Plumas county where Mr. Gould owns extensive ranges. John Moore of Moore station has for several years been en- gaged in reariog good horses. He owns a French Canadian stallion "Brigham" and to him this season bred thirty mares, Moore & Simpson are joint owners in a splendid racing stalion '■Barbara" sired by Norfolk. He is a beautiful, bay 1 horse, sixteen hands high, is four years of age and is a half brother to EL Rio Kay and Emperor Norfolk. Mr. Moore has two fine young fillies sired by Joe Hooker. 1 Moore this season will breed fifty mares. N. F. Wood of this same locality has a fine Promptor stallion, "Call Boy" and bred to him ten good mareB. He has a number of large, Bhowy and fine colts and in a few years will become promi- nent as a breeder of good animals. Daniel Abbey has thiB sea- son bred thirty mares of his own uo his stallion which is a half Canadian. L. H, Phillips of the same neighborhood bred thia season fifteen mares to a Norman stallion owned by Mr. C. Porter of Central House. Another very superior horse kept in this locality is the standard bred Hauibletonian stallion "Silver Bang." He is a handsome chestnut animal foaled in 188 1 and bred by Alvinza Hay ward of San Mateo. He is owned by Mr. J. D. Forbes and is considered by many the finest horse in the county. Fifty mares were bred to him this season. A race track has been put in good condition at Moore S'ation and a number of excellent young animals are being trained there. The Central House is a rich farming neighborhood on the east bank of Feather river, twelve mileB south of Oroville, and in that vicinity mnch attention has been paid to raising good horses. Philip Hefner owns and breeds about thirty mares, *J. S. Hotchins twenty mares, D. N. Friesleben tweDty-five mares, T. B. Hutehins, George E. Mattoon, Matt Lynch and John Harrigan each a leas number. Among the stallions owned in this neighborhood is "Kom- uIoub," a Percheron Norman, the property of John Pollock; a dark, handsome brown Hambletonian "Secretary" owned by John Dowd; a large and showy Percheron Norman "Ber- tram" owned by C. Porter; a French Canadian horse called '•Young Compton" owned by Andrew S wage and "Cap," a French Canadian owned by Frank Harrigar. While no one in the locality has gone into stuck raising as a sole business, yet each farmer keeps a number of good mares. In this vicinity there are rive stallions owned and about two hundred mares kept. Near Orovilie P. B- Welsh owns a stallion known as "Glorv" of the English Glory breed and two Kentucky jacks. He bred this season forty-one rnares, most of which are in foal from one of the Jacks. Mr. Welsh owns a range of six- teen hundred acres here, while at Humbug Valley in Plumas county he owns another stock ranch. At Oroville no one has made a business of raising good horses nor are many good horses kept, Fred Paul and Frank Faul each own Nutwood horses. On the west side of the Feather and Gridley W. W. Elliott owns a fine Hamble- tonian stallion known as "Cyclone." Near Biggs, Marion Biggs Jr., has for Borne years paid mnch attention to horse breeding and has many excellent and superior animals. He bred this year about fifty mares and keeps two stallions, one of theBe is a Hambletonian by Brigadier named "Ed. Biggs" and is a splendid young horse. Barney Musholt, a prominent farmer of Hamilton town ship, keeps one stallion and bred this season about fifty- gve mares. W A. Shippee of Nelson has given much attention to horse breeding for some years past, and has tried to improve the breed of this county by bringing here one of the finest stallions in this part of the State and by keeping only first class mares. Th'B season he bred twenty-five, and several of these are standard bred trotters. Two of these were Bired by Almont. His best stallion is of Nutwood stock, while a second one is a half Norman. Mr. Shippee has been a Director of the District Agricultural Society for the past four years, and has taken a deep interest in the rearing of good stock in Butte. West of Nelson a gentleman named CummingB is interested in horse breeding to some extent. Near Oroville, but on the weBt side of the Feather, Chas. Wick owns a good many mareB, and breeds them to a stallion kept upon the ranoh. He also raises many good mules. In the vicinity of Durham Mr. Goodspeed owns a fine an- imal named La Harp, and bred this season to him forty mares of his own. In the same locality Mr. Shinn owns a thoroughbred horse which he has bred for the past two or three years to ClydeB- dale mares. Stock raisers here are watching with Borne in- terest to note the results of this cross . Near the upper end of this county John Crouch is largely engaged in raising mules. At Chioo Mr. Duncan owns two stallions, one of these is a Nutwood and the other a Wilkes, named Signal Wilkes. He is a very fine animal. He has a number of well-bred mares. B. F. Allen, of the same place, has an imported Cleveland Bay four years old, and is a splendid horae. His name is Stanford Hero, and to him this season Mr. Allen bred fifteen fine mares. General John Bidwell bred this season forty mares, most of these were work animals, but a few were first class. Ho keeps an EogliBh coach horse named King Richard that is a fine animal. No town in this part of the State has as many fine driving animals and as many first class trotting horses as Chico, but most of the owners are not breeding horses, hence their names are not given. D. M. Beavis is the largest horse breeder in this part of the S'.ate. He owns six thousand acres of excellent pasture and farming land a few miles south of Chioo, and upon this he keeps 300 broodmares; all of these are standard bred trot- ters. He keeps four as good stallions as can be found in Northern California. First among these is Blackbird, then comes Monroe Chief, then Steinway, and then Monroe King, besides a number of splendid young horses. Monroe Chief is an imported horse with a record of 2:18, and he won eleven out of the twelve races in which he was entered. Old Blackbird has a record of 2:22, Among the fine young stallions is Bnrwell, Monroe Prince, Lusk and others. Mr. Reavis keeps upon his breeding farm more horses than is kept by any one breeder in this part of California. During the present summer he had in training not less than eighty young animals, and kept five driver8 and a large force of helpers constantly at work. He is the owner of Vic H., whose name has been so often mentioned in the California papers during the present summer, and who at Chico made five successive heats each inside of 2;20. He owns a number of imported Kentucky jacks, and to them breeds a large number oi common mares. Lack of space prevents us from giving some interesting details concerning this great breeding farm. In addition to his home ranch, Mr. Eeavis owns a lurge range in Dixie Valley, and from there each year brings down a good many horses and mules. He has during the past year sold many mules that were shipped to Australia. It will be Been from the summary that we have here given, that Butte is not lagging in the matter of breeding good horseB. On the contrary, her land owners are paying much attention to the same, and within the next two >ears some of the young horses from this county will make her name fam- ous in the racing annals of our State.

Maud closed up a little, but broke again, and Joe passed the half three lengths in front, despite a break. Maud closed up again a little, but breaking on the upper turn, ran for fifty yards she settled down a length behind, and trotting Btead- ily seemed to have a chance, but left her fett at the half dis jance and was beaten two lengths.

FIFTH DAY, MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1890. Judges— Dr. Lewis Leach, W. Helm and F. B. Baldwin. Timers— S. N. Stiaube, G. Bajliss and Dr. Edwards. Starter W. Hughes. The last day of the meeting was devoted to extra races, but owing to the weather which caused the last day to come on Monday instead of Saturday as was originally intended, the attendance was not large, in fact was very slim, but the the class of sport was excellent. The first race a handi- cap, six furlong duBh, for all ages, was readily won by W. L. Appleby s Alfarata. The next race had two startersi Emma Temple and Homestake, The mare could never carry the Gibraltar gelding until the last heat; when getting the worst of the start she trotted a close second to Homestake in 2:17J and must have trotted in 2:17£ or better. Mr.Agnewwaa satisfied that she could repeat near the same notch and was anxious to give her a record. So a parse of $100 was offered for Emma Temple to beat her record of 2:21, and acoompanied by McDowell and the runner, she was brought out after ftn hour's rest, and getting round the first turn well she passed the quarter in 0:35, the half in 1:12, and finishing strongly completed the mile in 2:23. The third race was an eaBy thing for Una Wilkes who won in straight heats in 2:26, 2:25£ and 2:27£. The last race of the day Sidney J. lowered his record to 2:26,$ in the first heat, and he will evidently beat that, ere the season is out, if necessary.

B. Baldwin once again proved himself a great manager, leaving nothing undone that could please horsemen. The stock department was well filled, and the parades at- tracted great attention, the principal features being the grand lot of trotting stock exhibited by S. N.

Owing to the rain storm which was so general throughout the State during Sunday and Monday of last week, it was thought by many that the Salinas Fair might hav6 been post- poned for at least a day if not more. However, old Sol. came out in all his brilliancy Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday Sherwood Park was well filled for the purpose of seeing the various Bpeed events. James Dwain, the lessee of the track, had it in superb condition, and those who had horses there are all lond in their praises of the manner in which the course had been prepared. In the judges' stand were J. D. Carr, H. S Ball and R. I. Orr. The timers being Messrs. Sargent, Lynn and Hebert. The first event was the two year old colt stake for foals of 1883, to wbich $100 had been added by the Association. Heats best two in three. The entries were Spokane, Salinas Maid and Auntie Wilkes. In the pools Salinas Maid sold for $30, Spokane §15 and Auntie Wilkes for $10. The con- fidence of the backers of Silinas Maid was amply repaid, she winning as she pleased in straight heats. Time being 2:52} and 2:52. The judges decided that the second and third money ebould be equally divided between Spokane and Auntie Wilkes. The thoroughbreds next had an inning, the race being three quarters of a mile and repeat for all horses owned in the district, the purse being $150. The entries were Cody B., Pirate and Lady B. It being a foregone conclusion that Lady R. could not be beaten, the pools sold with her barred at Pirate $10, Cody B. $5. For some unknown reason tbe jockey on Lady R. saw fit to make a waiting race of the first heat, "and at the quarter pole he "was fully sis leDgths behind the oth' r two, and from there out he did not seemed dis- posed to try to win and [he consequence was that Cody B. beat Pirate by a short length, Lady E. third. Time, 1:2 1 J. AIvibo was called into the stand where the judges repri- manded him; the owner of the mare made statement to the jadges that be had ordered Alviso to win the heat if possible, and agreed with the judges that a new jockey should be put np on the mare. A. G. Wilson having been selected the horseB were sent out for the second heat. When Hhe word was given the trio ran in a bunch to the half mile pole where Lady B was given her head, and in a few moments was lead- ing by a half dozen lengths, she had so mnch speed that there was no difficulty in her distancing the other pair. The time of the other heat being 1.20}. lhe judges awarded first and third money to Lady E. and declared all pools off; they also suspended jockey Alviso for the presumed crooked work in the first heat. The last race of the day was for named horses, best three in five, tbe Association offering a purse of $150. Tbe en- tries were St. Patrick, Myron and Mary O. In the pools St. Patrick sold for $12, the other pair selling for $6 each. On tke third attempt at scoiing the word was given wh n Mary O. led out to make tbe pace. St. Patrick stuck to her wheel however, and in the last forty yards came op and beat her under the wire by a short head. Time, 2:34. St. Patrick was now made a favorite over the field, he selling for $10 against $4. The second and third heats were almost a re- petition of tbe first, St. Patrick beating Mary O. by half a length in the second and a scant length in the third. Time of each being 2. .'Hi1 and 2:41. SECOND DAY. A much larger attendance was present on the second day of the races than on the first, and the grand stand was well filled in addition to which there were many vehicles inside the enclosure. On the card we found the first event to be a district pnrse of $150. Pools sold, Starlight $19, Gilpatnck $10, Lucky Jim $5 and Alfred G. $2. The judges of the day were Messrs. Carr, Ball and Graves, tbe timers being Messrs. He- bert and Matthews. When the word was given Lucky Jim and Alfred G. indulged in tbe moBt reprehensible conduot of breaking almost every few steps. At the quarter pole Star- light led by two lengths from Gilpatrick. Up the baokstretch the two leaders had a hot fight together, the other pair being fully a distance behind. On the upper turn Gilpatrick moved up a trifle and rounded into the homestretch lapped on Starlight's wheel. Coming down the homestretch Gil- patrick forced Starlight to a break and won the heat by a neck from the filly, the other pair being just inside tbe dis- tance flag, Time,2:39. Gilpatrick now became the favorite, he selling for $5, Starlight for $4, the filly for $1. Before reaching the quarter Gilpatrick made a break and S'arlight took the lead, she being a length in advance at the quarter, "inoky Jim being third and Alfred G. way behind in the ear. On tbe upper turn Gilpatrick again moved np and came into the homestretch on even terms with the filly; half way down the homestretch Gilpatrick again broke and was pasBed by Lucky Jim, who also broke and lost second place. Starlight winning the heat by four lengths from Gilpatrick, Luoky Jim third and Alfred G. a bad fourth. Time, 2:48. , For the third heat Starlight was made a favorite in the pool at $10 against $7 for the field. The favorite was the only one that did not break before reaching the quarter; from there up the backstretch it was a regular procession, Star- light leading, Lucky Jim second, Gilpatrick third and as usual Alfred G. last. In the turn Lucky Jim again broke, Gilpatrick passed him, and in the homestretch was only one length behind Starlight; however, a bad break lost him all chance for the heat, the filly finishing first by two lengths, Gilpatrick second, Lncky Jim a close third and Alfred G. fourth. Time, 2:45. Pools now sold: Starlight $10, field $6 On account of lameness, the judges allowed Alfred G. to be withdrawn, and his driver, Mr. Dwain, got np behind Gilpatrick. Starlight led in the fourth heat from the wire to tbe head of the home- stretch, bot Gilpatrick was lapped on her wheel all tbe dis- tance; coming down the straight, Gilpatrick forced the filly to a break and won the heat himself, with Lucky Jim seoond and Starlight last. Time, 2:45} . The field now became favorite at $10 against $8 for Starlight. The word was promptly given and Starlight cnt out the work, taking the pole from Gilpatriok before the quarter was reaohed; she kept the lead nntil at the head of tbe homestretch, when Dwain made play at her with Gilpatrick, bnt was unable to beat the grey filly out, the time being 2:42*. The driver of Gilpatrick claimed that McCartney, who was driviDg the chestnut filly, had carried him out on the stretch and thus prevented him from winning; and alBO claimed that on the first torn. Starlight crossed in front of Gilpatrick in such short order as to cause him to lose his stride; both theBe claims of foul were allowed by tbe judges, but instead of setting Starlight baok, they declared it no heat. Once more McCartney made play for first money in the sixth heat, but the handsome little filly stumbled and nearly went on her head; when she recovered she was aome distance behind, and by the time she had settled, Gilpatrick was fnlly a half dozen lengths to the good, but when the half mile pole was reached, there were only two lengths of daylight between them; inoh by inoh she gained on the leader, and on arriving at the head of the homestretch, was on nearly even terms, but the gradual strain in making up so mnch loBt time began to tell on the youngster, and she made a tired break, cau.'iog her to lose the heat and race by a scant length. Lucky Jim being a balf dozen lengths in the rear. Time, 2:42. The next event was for the district yearling trotterB for a purse of §150, the distance being a hBlf mile and repeat. Brnno, Lucky Girl and Katie B. were the starters. Bruno sold for $10 in the pools while the others as a field brought $6. Brnno won in straight beats, Luoky Girl taking second money and Katie B. third, the time of the heats being 1-46* and 1:33. On account of the lateness of the hour the third race on the programme was postponed until the following day. THIRD DAY. The third day showed an inoreased attendance over the two former days, and is a strong indioation of the increasing interest which is being taken in horse breeding and racing in this section of th6 State. The half mile and repeat race for a purse of $100 had as starlera Hollister Dennis, Eondout, Lady E., Johnny I and Pirate. In the pools Lady R sold for $10, Johnny I for $7, Eondout S3 and $2 for the other pair as a field. After about a half hour's delay, a start was effected with the two 6eld horses behind, Pirate acting in a very fractious manner, and before a hundred yards had been negotiated, he threw his rider, luckily without serious injury to the jock. Lady E., Johnny I. and Eondout ran in a bnnch to the head of the stretoh when Lady E. drew away and won by a length Johnny I. being second, Eondout third, the other distanced! Time, 51 seconds. For the second heat Lady R. sold for $10 to $4 for the field. In this heat Lady R. led from Btart to finish, the h irses coming in in the 6ame manner as they did in the first heat, time being 51 Beconds. The second race was for the trotting division, named horses, purse $250. The starters were Chancellor, Sargent and Maud H- Sergent had a very easy victory, winning three consecutive heats in 2:31i, 2:32 and 2:29, he takiDg first money, Chancellor second and Maud H. third. The laBt race of the day was for the pacing brigade for named horses, the pnrse being $100. The starters were Prince of the Oaks, Sin Carlos and Tococa. Pools sold San Carlos $20, Prinoe of the Oaks $20 and Tocaco $3. This was another very uneven race, San Carlos having the speed of the party and winning the first three heats as he pleased in 2:51}, 2:48 and 2;4t; Prince of the Oaks taking seoond money and Tococa third. The third race of the day was for the pacers, the purse be- ing $150 and the starters were Geo. Wapple. T. B. and San Jose. San Jose was the favorite at $10. Wapple Belling for $3, while $1 was the most that could be got for T. B. San Jose won the first and second heats in the easiest of manners in2:34 and 2:33}, and was also under the wire first in the third heat in 2:30, but the judges gave tbe heat to Wapple. San Jose having broken considerably on the backstretch, Wapple won the fourth heat in 2:31, San Jose being second, tbe gelding having made a disastrous break on the first turn. The fifth heat caosed a littie change, T. B. and San Jose mak- ing a fight for the heat from start to finish. When at the three quarter pile San Jose broke and from there out fell be- hind, T. B. finishing first by two lengths, Wapple a poor third. Time, 2:32. Tbe conclusion of this race was post- poned owing to the darkness, as was also the trotting race in which Myron won the first heat and Billy Emerson the next two. LAST DAY. Another large attendance was present on the closing day of the fair. At 10 o'clook the stock was again paraded and the premiums awarded. The first race was called at 1 o'clock, it being the unfin- ished trot in which Billy EmerBon had taken two heats and Myron one. Emerson captured the deciding heat handily with Mary O. close np, St. Patrick a fairly good third and Myron last. Time 2:34. The unfinished pacing race in which San Jose had two heats, Geo. Wapple and T. B. one was easily settled, San Jose proving too much for Wapple, winning by a short length in 2:30}, T. B. being a poor third. The first regular race on tbe programme was for named horses for a purse of $150, the starters being Emmet C, Fred Grant and Sorrel Prinoe. Grant sold as favorite in the pools bnt mnch to lhe disgnst of his backers, lost the first heat to Sorrel Prince in 2:4S}; however, he easily won the next three in 2:49$, 2:49 and 2:54}, he taking first money, Sorrel Prince seoond, and Emmet C. third; Tom Mitchell was distanced in the second heat. The next contest was between Mr. G. C. Johnson's Sargent and S. Theuer kauf'sLee. This race was beat three in five for a pnrse of $150 with $50 added providing 2:25 was beaten. Tbe horses got away on the second score aod Sargent led to the half mile pole by two lengths where Lee was moved np and at the five eighths waB nearly at Sargent's wheel, in the stretch the distance had been dimished so that the horses were on even terms and from there ont Lee gradually forged ahead and won by a short length in the exceedingly good time of 2:23|. The next two beats were gained easily by Lee the pace being too mnch for Sargent. The last race on the annual programme for 1890 was beBt two in three for the two-year-old trotters for a pnrse of $150. The starters were Anntie Wilkes, Pocahontas and Spokane. Tbe Wilkes filly sold favorite at $10 to $4 for tbe field, she amply repaid the confidence of her backers by winning eas- ily in 2:55 and 2:53}. B Live Stock Exhibits at Stockton. The Official Premium List For Park Entries. FOURTH DAY. Owing to the stook parade in the morning a muoh larger attendance was present on Friday than on any other day of the meeting. The first race on the programme was for the three year olds owned in the district, the purse being $200. Gilpatrick and Starlight were again contestants as was alBO Alex. S. Before the nrst heat pools sold Starlight $10 to $8 for the other two in the field, like the race on a former day. G lpat- riok and Starlight had a determined brush for the first money. When the word was given in the first heat Gilpat- rick cut out the work and led Starlight by fullv two lengths on the baokBtretch. On the move into the npper turn the filly crawled np gradually, but could not overcome tbe die tance, the son of Junio winning by a Bhort balf length. As distance had been waived, Alex S did not receive the flag in his faoe. Tbe field now became the favorite at $5 to $4 on Starlight: almoBt immediately on leaving the wire in tbe second heat. Gilpatrick broke and Starlight got a good lead.

Editor Breedee and Sportsman:— With the close of the present "West Chester Meeting, which begins to-day, cloFeB the popular raciDg season on this side of the Father of WaterB. Then all the horses of Belmont, Hearst, Haggin, Scott, Morris, "Withers and others of the more aristocratic owners will hear the sound of the drum top no more until the flowers have blossomed in the Spring of 1891. The Dwyers will probably race a few of their horses all winter, but the pick of their expensive stable will probably go into winter quarters after the "Westchester meeting. "Lucky" Baldwin's horses will return to California, bo it is given out, and they will all participate in the meetings on your coast. Here in the "West the stables are gradually hunting winter quarters, and as they are journeying southward, there are many stables dropping off at the various race tracks and wintering quarters. After the present Latonia meeting there will be no mote stake events in the "West this Fall, as Lex- ington and Nashville have abolished the system of having Btake races for their fall meetings. The class of horses run- ning in ihe meet at this time of year are, as a general thing, very mechanical performers, and far below the average Btake material. Many of the Btables now at Latonia will quit the ciroait at Lexington, so will be the case at Nashville, some stopping there while many will go to Memphis. Of oourse the "New OrleanB contingent will be usually large enough to keep things moving down there all winter, and there will be several prominent Btables take quarters there for the winter. Among the niOBt notable to spend the winter there will be Ed. Gardner's A vondale Stable, consisting of 20 horses, most of whioh will be 2-year-olds next season. Gardner also has the two crack two-year-oils Idi Pickwick and Monte Rosa both daughters by imp Mr. Pickwick, and very successful and consistent performers in the We3t in the early summer. Gardner's yearlingB are a grand lot, and all have been highly tried, Bracelet, by Pickwick, dam Brademante, (dam of the Bird) showed a quarter at Nashville last week in 24 seconds flat, and not extended, Pierre by Casino and Koran, by Pick- wick, did the same distance in :25. Nelson's performance at Kinkakse this week on the kite- shaped traok did not create sach a sensation as one would naturally expect to be the outcome far a record-lowering feat. The horse made the mile in 2:11*, and by one-half second eclipsed the previous record held by Axtell and him- self. That these kite-shaped tracks are much faster than the oval no one can doubt, and I am inclined to think some distinction should be made between a performance on it and a reoord made en the oval track. The way the horses marked their records fully illustrated a great difference, and in considering the performance of bis horses, one on a kite- Bhaped and the other on the oval course, and both in the same time, I would certainly give the oval track record the preference, and consider it much the best performance. The kite-shaped tracks are all the craze now, and I would not be surprised to see a circuit before long in which only the new tracks are used. I learn that several half mile kite-shaped traoks are in course of construction throughout the country, and the day may soon come when no other traoks will be in use. Speed and fast time is the one absorbing thing now among horsemen, and they will have the track now that is most condaoive for fast time. It doesn't matter so material- ly whether or not the present record is ever lowered, and I am adverse to asking horses to anihitate space and time when the record is so far from their reach that to do so literally damageB a horse for breeding purposes. Many horses have been so severely campaigned that they developed certain weaknesses, which they impart to their progeny, and the re- sult is that it takes several generations of constant out-breed- ing to overcome these troubles. The owners of Superior 2:19£ by Egbert, are anxious to arrange a match with Mr. Marvin between their horse and Palo Alto, or at least they have challenged the latter or any other horse for a match, 3 in 5, for $5,000 a Bide; Superior made his record in 18S8, but then he wag not considered of such high material as to some day be claimed among the cream of the turf. Mr. Marvin has not aocepted the chal- lenge and mo3t likely does not expect to. Tbe owners of Superior will strike a "snag" with their western horBe if they do not steer clear of Bach horses as Palo Alto, Jack, Nelson, Alcyon, and a few more I might mention, and I shouldn't think it at all advisable for tbem to make such broad and sweeping challenges. The horse, however, bas probably shown some very fast trials, but when he meets any of the above horses he will find it quite different to ne- gotiating time in private trials. The match between Roy Wilkes and Hal Pointer has moat likely past the way of all earthly things. Geer's driver of Pointer was very willing to match his horse against Roy, providing the latter's driver weigh-in at 165 pounds, which is Geer's weight. There is no probability in the two horseB meeting now, and unless they meet in tbe free for alls of next year, it is doubtful if they will ever measure strides. For the past two weeks hopes have been entertained that Sunol and Nancy Hanks would meet, but that like other pro- posed matches, have fallen through. The Kentuckians are yet willing to trot their mare against Sunol, and believe the trotting foundation of Nancy Hank's breeding would enable her to out last the California wonder. Sunol hos much more speed, as is evidenced by her trials this year, but she is such a nervous and excitable creatare I am led to believe the chances would be in Nancy Hank's favor. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Association of Trotting Hor^e Breeders, held in Cleveland, Ohio, last night, new rules were made and adopted for the securing of standard records. "Tin Cup" records were abol- ished, and the Association did a very wise act when a new rule was substituted. The new rule provides for a standard stake in which each horse winning a heat in as good time as 2;30 is sent to the stable. The new rule goes into effect to- day, and a much needed want was fulfilled when the Asso- ciation unanimously adopted it. Yours, Kkshb°aw. HUiyiBOLDT COUNTY FAIR. Rohnerville, Sept. 22-26. The Fair is tbe principal event of tbe year in Humboldt Notwithstanding the general stringency in money matter- and the cold, foggy mornings, people thronged the grounds and manifested great interest at the exhibits and racing. Early on the first day the roads leading to Rohnerville were jammed with teams, and when the trains from Eareka ar rived the gate keepers and ticket sellers were kept at their full bent. The exhibits, though not so extensive as last year, are of much better quality and speak well for this isolated county Financially, the Association did better than at any previous fair on account of large attendance, larger percentage of en- trance fees, a better system of issuing tickets and fine judg ment in general supervision. The interesting programme of races is due not to the purses offered, which are generally conceded to be too small but to a combination of circumstances which worked well for the Association. "When Kausen's Bras3 Band struck up one of their thrill ing productions on Tuesday morning the Fair may be said to have opened, and the stock parade showed that the entry clerks had had a busy day on Monday. All breeds of cattle were well represented, and the whole a credit to the county. As usual the speed programme opened with a half mile and repeat saddle race with two starters, the g m Mollie "W and b h Billy B. Mollie W. was a favorite, winning both heats easily. Time, 0:541-, 0:56. Tom Quinn's g m Nellie Q. and Smith's b e Tom contested for the $200 purse in the 2:40 clas3 at 1:30 p. m. Nellie Q. got the inside and won in three straight heats, though Tom hung cloBely to her wheels. Time, 2:42£, 2.41J, 2:45. The entries in the three minute class, puree $120, were the two gray Btallions, McGregor's Poscora Jun and Rous sin's Mazeppa, both Bired by Poscora Hayward. Poscora Jun drew the outside but outfooted Mazeppa, winning first heat in 2:51, Poscora became unsteady, leaving his feet fre- quently in the second while Mazeppa somewhat more relia ble lead at the home stretch several lengths. Time, 2:53J. Both horses broke badly in the other two heats, Mazeppa winning each. Time, 2:54i, 2:57. Wednesday was cool and the attendance not bo large as Thursday and Friday which are the great days of the fair- However, the programme was opened with a very interesting three-fourths mile and repeat running race for a purse of $200. The starters were Nellie G., s g m, sired by Sampson, lately purchased ot Jas. Goff by Crippan & Davis. Isabella br and w mare, a three year old, sire Joe Hooker, owned by T. J. Knight, and the s s Night time, sire Joe Hooker owned by Latherow & McDonald. Isabella sold favorite in the pools, bringing $10, Nellie G. $S and Night-time $4. Nellie G. got the inside, Night-time second and Isabella third. They went off at the first trial and were bunched to the first quarter when Isabella gave down suddenly. Nellie G. took a slight lead aB the second quarter but Night time closed up and the horses driven hard finished under the whip, Nellie G winning by a ltnglh, Isabella distanced. Time, 1:18} Nellie G. won the heat in 1:19, Night-time close up. The yearling one mile dash for a purse of $100 oocupied the attention of those present at 1:30. Hogoboom's b f Why Not, sire Walstein won the race easily without a break in 3:0S|; DignuB, sire Antevolo, acting badly from tbe start. The next on tbe programme was a named race for local horses. Hogoboom named Josie N. b m, sire Bedouin. Frank Miser named Posse, c s m, sire Poscora. and Chas. Landergen, Dandy Hayward g b, 6Jred by Poscora. Posse was tbe favorite, but Dandy Hayward won in two straight ht ats. Time 2:57* aud 3:00. The 600 yards dash for a purse of $150 had five Btarters. Will Clark entered Rsndo; F. J. Knight, Stoneman; Crippan & Davis, Monte; T. Coleman, Little Cap; Lewis Bianstetter, Combination. Pools sold lively, Rondo being favorite and Stoneman second choice. Alter one trial the flag was dropped on one of the most remarkable starts ever witnessed here. Every horse leaped from the pole in a straight line, and came thundering down the stretch under the whip, while the audience stood on tip toes in dead silence. Stone- man's gray nose passed the wire first, winning in 33 sec- onds. A long and loud shout of applause went up from the audience, and then there was a bmry skurry for teams, it being rather late. This was an interesting race, as muoh local pride was centered in the horses and a considerable sum of money changed hands. THURSDAY, SEPT. 25TH. People began to pour in at an early hour from the country and by 9 a. m the receipts at the gate amounted to $800. The traims from Eureka and north were crowded, and the entrance was jammed with teams. The sun began to pierce through the fog, and by the time the first race, half mile and repeat for $100 was called, the weather was beautiful for racing. Stoneman and Little Cap came together, and Stone* man proving to be too speedv, winning both heats in 0:51, 0:51. The Equestrienne Tournament was unusually iateresting, the five contestants went through the usual exercises in fine shape, but Mrs. Jim Howard oame near having a seriouB accident. Her horse became excited, unmanageable, and running away leaped a pair of bars down a eteep declivity out of sight. She kept the saddle, however, and was unin- jured. Miss Mu?a Campion received first prize, Miss Cora Gray second and Mrs. John Minard third At 1.30 sharp the three-year-olds aud under was called. Hogoboom's b m Sacramento Girl, Bire Alcazar, who made a yearling record of 2:56 last year, appeared against Mazeppa, winning in two straight heat3, time 2:51A, 2:46. By this time the afternoon's train had brought maDy more from Eureka to witness the five mile bicycle race for the championship of the county and a fine gold medal. J. A. MeNamara, G. L. Roberts, F. W. Fuucett, Lou Put- nam and Will Robins started from a dead line and kept well bunched for the first half mile. In the fourth mile Mc- Mamara, who was with Faucett far ahead of the rest, was taken with a cramp and Btopped suddenly. Faucett kept his place, making the five miles in 19 minuteB 28 seconds, but by mistake made tbe sixth mile. Roberts was the only other contestant to finish the fivemiles. Pools sold heavy ana Eureka peop'e took great interest in the race. Thursdays unusually interesting programme closed with the 2:36 trot for a purse of $250. Tom Qiion entered g m Nellie Q., eire Overland; N: Gro- ton's g g Pete Steinway, Biie Steinway, and W. H. E. Smith's b g Covey sire Steinway. As we predicted in a former artiole, Pete's day ha t come. He won in three straight heats with- out a break, Nellie Q. second. Time, 2:41}, 2:39}, 2:43. FRIDAY, SEPT. 26, 1890. Fr:'day was a beautiful day, and there was no abatement in he attendance The directors might well be proud of the Etock ri-play, which shows the interest taken in good breed- ing. The procession, nearly a mile long, filed by, and was witnessed by a brilliant gathering of ladies from the grand stand and very favorably commented upon by the men gen- erally, but the time had arrived for the much-talked of one and one-quarter mile dash, for a purse of $200. The giving down of Isabella in the three-quarter was a great surprise to all, and there were many surmises that she had been tam- pered with; then Nighttime had been so close in the three- quarter that it was burd to decide between him and Nellie G. Pools sold, however, Nellie G. $20, Nighttime $8, Isabella $4, Farewell $4. Farewell, s s, was sired by Nimbus. After a few trials tbe horses got away in good shape. Isa- bella took the lead and held it pist the three-quarter, when Nellie G. and Nighttime closed up, passed Isabella and both came under the whipfor the finish, but the plucky little mare won by a length amidst immense applause. Time, 2:18. The time would have been much better, but there waB a charge of foul riding brought against Leer, the rider of Nighttime, which resulted in Leer being ruled off the track for one year. The four-year old trot, for a perse of $150 at 1:30, was soon over. Hogoboom's two-year old Sacramento Girl again appearing against the b s Johnny Moor, sire Grand Moor. Johnny Moor acted badly from the stirt, breaking continu- ally, whil- Sdciamento Girl lead away, and without a break distanced Johnny Moor. Time, 2:42, the fastest two-year- old reenrd for the district, and all knew she could have done much better if it had been necessary. The free for all pacers and trotters, for a purse of $400, made a lively time at the pool box. The well known b s Idaho Patchen, sire H. B. 1 alcben, sold favorite, but there were many to back Mr. Graham's b g Cling and Damiana, a pacer of some local fame. The first heat found' Damiana second, Patchen inside and Cling third. It was anybody's heat to the half, when Dami- ana took the lead and won easily, Patchen second. In the second heat Cling and Damiara kept well together, but CliDg broke about 200 jards from the wire, and ran uDder tbe wire at full speed in spite of the efforts of A. Franks, the driver, to get him on his feet; second heat decided for Patchen. Patchen'a lameness, very marked at first, now became the subject of comment in the grand 6taud, and it was very evi- dent that the game stallion was' under treat disadvantage. Tom Ricks was put up behind Cling, but Damiwua won the heat easily, Cling second. Time, 2:29i, 2:32, 2:30*. Considerable money had been lost on this race "and when the last race of the day was announced, the three quarter mile dash for two-yfar-olds, purse $75. their seemed a desire to get even, pools selling high and rapidly. Tbe s f Ella C. sire Arthur H. was the favorite; Davis 59 1C8 35 4S 43 47 73 Manager Barnes, of the Spokaues, is expected to be in this city shortly. Fresno, San Jose and Los Angeles will probaby be in the league nest year. John Patrick Parnell Cahill has been captaining the Port- lands for some time past. There are more shirkers in the Stockton team than in any other team in the league. Brodie, of the Boston National League team, has only struck out twice this season. For a player who was thought to be a weak hitter when he 6ret made his appearance on the California diamond, Bill Ev- erett shows up remarkably strong in his batting percentage ranking eighth of sixty hitters and having the very credita- ble average of 277. Charley Sweeney has received the nomination for Assem- blvman from the 37th district. Tom Buckley and Billy Cooney, ex-Pioneer?, are playing with the E. T. Aliens of the Amateur League. Jim McDonald ranks third in base running, having pur- loined fifty-five cushions thus far this season.

The finish of the Brotherhood, National League and Ameri- can Association attracted little attention in local base ball circles. Pete Meegan alternates between Santa Rosa and Yallejo every Sunday, umpiring the games of the Amateur League played in these cities. The Comiskey party will be accompanied by Chas. G.

This game which was scheduled to be played at Santa ltosa was tiansferred to this city and was commenced at 9.30 A. m. last Sunday morning. Besides counting in the regular cham- pionship series there was a side issue of a purse of Fifty Dol- lars which went to the victors. McCarty of the Santa Bosas officiated as umpire, and barring a couple of close decisions did well. The game itself was an excellent one for seven in- nings, but in the eighth McDonald weaked considerably and the team fell &11 to pieces making a number of wild and cost- ly throws. Sullivan of the Fincks pitched a fine game being remarkably steady and keeping the hits judiciously separa- ted. His support was generally good. The Aliens also fielded well, but Billings made Beveral bad errors mostly in throw- ing. The runs were made as follows: In the first inning for the Young Giants, Delmas first up, banged out a double to right went to third on a passed ball and scored on Tillsons single to left. Tillson reached third on another passed ball and was caught between third and home by Billings and Broderick. Farrell and Lavy struok out. One run. The Burlingtons made two in the third, Broderick gaining first on Deeneys wild throw and second on Evatts sacrifice. Buckleys single to center sent him to third and he scored on a passed ball. Buckley stole second and another passed ball permitted his tallying. Two runs. The Will andFincks went them one better in the fourth. Farrell was hit by a pitched ball and sprinted to third on Billings wild throw over second. He scored on Levys single Dave took second on the throw in, third on Sullivans single to right and stole home making the only earned tally of the game. Two runs. Evatt made one more for the Aliens in the fifth, tying the score on his hit to center, which Dann itt pass him, the short stop making the oirouit on the error. Another ran was made by the Giants in the seventh. Dauu hit to Broderiok who fumbled, went to second on Conway's safety to left, but was forced at third on Groth's hit to Broderick, Conway making second. Groth was caught napping at first but Delmas' hit sent Conway across the plate. Through battery and fielding errors, the Fincks were en- abled to get four runs in the eighth. Farrell took bis base on balls and went to third on Broderick's foolish and wide throw over first. Levy hit to Evatt who with Broderick and Billings got Farrell between third and home, but on Billings error, Farrell scored. Levy went ronnd on the play, and after Sullivan was safe out Billings' error. Deeney hit to McDonald who threw out Levy at the plate. Deeney stole second, and the ball passing Geishaker, Sullivan tailied, Deeney making third. On Evatt's high throw in the little second baseman tallied. Dann got his base on balls, stole the middle bag, reached third on a passed ball and scored the last run of the game on Billings wild throw to first on Con- ways strike out. The score: E. T.

Sunday, Oct oth, 1890, at Sam Francisco. After the first inning the Reports were never in this game. Thirteen hits, four bases on balls and sixteen errors accounts for the Santa Rosa's twenty-one runs. Monet was punished severely, while his team's work was the most miserable of any seen on the local amateur diamond. Callen was not in form either and started off very wild, giving two bases on balls, and making two wild pitches in the first inning, whioh with a hit and a passed ball gave the Reports three runs. He steadied down after that, however, and clever outfielding aided him much in keeping down the hits. In fact the catches made Gimmel, McCarthy, Sharp and one by Collins with Keilly and Hulen's work were the only commendable featuresot this long and uninteresting contest. Two catches by Gimmel were simply magmbcent and have never been ex- celled at the Haigbt St. grounds. Manager Finn umpired and called game at the end of the seventh, there being no hope of the Reports winning. Cook, Keilly and Sharp led in hitting. The score: reports.

The Marines jumped into se?ond place last Sunday through the Reports being defeated by the Santa Rosas and their own overwhelming victory over the Railroaders. Rohan and Wilds, who are not on the most amicable terms with the base ball public of Vallejo, were the battery for the Burlingtons, and all through the game they were made the target of uncom- plimentary remarks. This probably had a detrimental effect on Rohan's pitching, as that twirler was sized np for Bixteen Bafe hits, including several of the double and triple variety. Balsz pitched an excellent game, and received great support all round, but especially from Farrell at the receiving end, who had ten put-outs and five assists. The Burlingtons also put up a strong fielding game, but four errors being made, Balsz did the best work at the bat, making four hits of five times up, two of which were doubles. Smith, Bogle, Strand and Hoghes also hit hard and well. Fete Meegan umpired very satisfactorily. The score: Vaixejos, AB.

Jimmy English is playing a good third bag for Merced, The Reports are badly in need of a good first baseman. We would like to see Jack Ryan, formerly of the Green- hoods in the ranks again. Gimmel made two sensational catches in the field last Sun- day. Drum is said to be playing a "bang up" fielding game for Fresno. "Cap" Maguire of the Marines, has picked up in his field- ing again. Sky rocket throwing was the cause of the Aliens defeat by the Giants. There seems to be a lack of harmony in the Report team at present. Tom Buckley continues playing an errorless game at firs* for the Sports. "Scissors" Dunn, late of the Burlingtons played center for the Giants Sunday. The Allens have not won a game yet from either the Santa RoBas or Will & Fincks. George Kelly is again on short for the Burlingtons where he adds great strength to that team.

Billy Farrell did not go with Howell to Fresno last week, but will nevertheless be a member of that team very shortly. Dick Wise of the VallejoB, is Baid to be the equal of Gim- mel and Sharp on fly balls. Unfortunately we have never had an opportunity of witnessing this player's work, but if he is as good as either Billy or George he must be a "nailer."

The Merceds after their defeat last Sunday by the Fresno'a indulged in a free fight on the train homeward. English, Nagle and Vincent were badly injured. Such disgraceful aotions are detrimental to the game and should be met with severe measures. We are at a loss to understand why umpire McCarthy called Tom Buckley out in the fifth inning while he was at bat last Sunday morning, and know of no role which deoidea the batsman to be out for stepping over the plate and out of the bos after he has made the first or second strike if no runner occupies the bases. . it lis SCHEDULE OF GAMES -OF THE- Interior Base Ball.

Sunday, Oct. 5th, 1890, At Fresno. The Fresnos whitewashed the Merceds last Sunday, win- ning by a score of 6 to 0. Howell, late of the Will and Fincks, made his debut with the Fresno team and oreated a most favorable impression. He was admirably Bupported at the receiving end by Matt Stanley, the two constituting a formidable battery. Pokey Chase twirled for the Meroeds, and while not as steady as his youthful opponent, pitched a fine game. Vincent gave him bat poor support behind the bat, while the work of some of the fielders was very ordi- nary. Quite the'opposite was the case with the Fresnos who fielded magnificently, making several rapid plays, which, together with a conple of double ups and Howell's effective pitching, robbed their opponents of runs. The butting gen- erally was light. Dyer threw the first man up out at first on his apparently safe hit to right, and Callen alone tignred in a double play. The Fresnos, stole baaeB with impunity.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes. EDITED BY ABPHIPPUS, SUMMARY. Tbe indications are very promising for a dry winter, and it is safe to anticipate that oat-door sports will be bot slight- ly interfered with by tbe rain for tbe balance of tbe year. Last winter the weather was so inclement that the athletes were oompelled to remain off the cinder track for weeks at a time. In consequence of this many of them were not in their best form on the date of the championship meeting. At the present time the majority of both the in and out door men are practicing hard for tbe many important exhibitions which will be held daring the next three months. THE GAME OF CRICKET. For the past coaple of weeks there has been a great fall- ing off in the attendance at the Alameda grounds. It is get- ting rather advanced in the season, of coarse, and many of the cricketers have retired from the field, bat with the open- ing of Spring there is bound to be a big boom in this good old pastime. There is sufficient material on the Pacific Coast to form the nucleus of several first class teams, and in 1891 it would not be at all surprising if a monster Cricket Association was formed which would tit up elaborate grounds of its own for the use of associate clubs. Base ball wa« substituted for Cricket last Sunday, and the Kazzle Dazzle Base Ball Club defeated the Alameda Cricket Club at the West End grounds, Alameda, with a score of S to 4. AT TBE OABS. Last Sunday was an exceptionally fine day, and a good many raoing boats were noticed on the bay. Several crews from the Ariel and South End clubs were out for practice. Spiers and most of the oarsmen showed that they were not entirely out of practice yet. It i3 thought that a brief programme will be arranged for Thanksgiving D*y. There will probably be a few open events in conjunction with some match races which are al- ready as good as made. Harry O. Farrell and Eugene Flanders have been appoint- ed a committee to arranged for the Thanksgiving Dinner of the Pacific Rowing Association. The racing members of tbe Lurline Club are in sorry plight. Their club has got no shells and they are unable to pratice. The Pacific Rowing Assoclaaion will make a big effort be- fore long to try and induce the S. P. Co. to build a large boat house to the Alameda mole. The 'third large race by members of the Alameda Boat Club took place last Sunday afternoon over the course in the estuary. There was a very large crowd present. Two crews, a heavy one and a light one. contested. The former was composed of Jackson, Schroeder, Transne and Schumacher. Thelight crew was made up of Messrs. Hartman, Pfeiffer, Osborne and Alhers. The light weights were allowed a handicap of four boat lengths, but not withstanding; this ad- I vantage, the heavy crew won easily. The membership of the club is rapidly increasing, and several new members will be admitted at the next meeting. THE WHEEL. *'0! the rain, the beautiful rain, come again, come again," I is now the cry of the cyclers. The roads are jast a trifle too dasty, and a couple of good heavy showers would be wel- comed with delight. Sanford Plummer, of the Bay City Wheelmen, rode a trial mile on the Olympic track last Sunday. His time was 3;6. Considering the fact that Mr. Plimmer rode a safety machine without having been on one for weeks previous, the time made was splendid, and proves the track to be fast ior wheel lacing. Several experienced wheelmen say that the Olympic track [ is at least one second slow at each turn. For snob a small track this is not such a great drawback,as all the Eastern re- cords are made on big tracks. An enterprising sporting manager has leased the Mechanic's Pavillion for six months, and when the fair is over he will I open a bicycle isohool in conjanctioa with a skating rink. It is his idea to use the entire main floor for riding purposes, and wheels can be. rented by ambitious tyros for an hour or for a!day.'jast as they desire. TheBay City Wheelmen will try and arrange with the lessee for the holding of a six night's tournament open t j all L A. W. amateurs, to be conducted under their auspiies. Several races wili take place each ', evening, and very handsome and costly prizes will be pre- sented to the winners. Morgan is in training at the Olympic Club grounds, and f is now doing better than three minutes. He uses a pneu- matic-tie machine. His chance of breaking the ooast one » mile record on October 52th is very good. - 1 Mr. Harris intends going away on a few weeks' trip, and before taking his departure he will try and dispose of his I' "Ormonde" pneumatio-tired roadster. The wheel weighs 271bs.t and is a very fast one. Some prominent Bay City man may purchase it and introduce it at one of his club tourna- ments. Qaite a crowd of wheelmen visited the O. A. C. grounds on Sunday, and many of them tried tbe tiack. The Olympic Club grounds are now open to the use of cycling members at the discretion of tbe tracs-master, except Sundays, between the hours of 10 o'clock in the morning and 2 o'clock in tbe afternoon. The Bay City Wheelmen are going to move to more spaci- ous rooms, which they will occupy until after their own building is finished. The American Bicycle Club members will hold their 14th olub run to-morrow to Niles Canyon. The members are requested to assemble at 7 a. m. at the ferry, foot of Market Btreet. Several of the Garden City wheelmen will jjin in the run, and a good days* outing may be expected. The two clubs will hold a picnic at the canyon in the afternoon. The new rooms of the Alameda Bicycle Club in the Vogt Building on Railroad Avenue were formally opened on Sat- urday evening last. The members of the club turned out in foil force, and did full justice to the banquet which had been prepared for them. The following gentlemen were present: C. M. Colver, George Borneroan, A. C. Lassen, R. A. ' Smythe. Pete Brock, Ed. Peck. Cbas. Hebard, Will Herard, , Walter Foster, Burt Bnrrell. Charles Vincent, Frank How- htt. Frank Boyle, Harry Williams, Ambrose C. Snow, Harry Potter, Walter Osborpe, Fred Brown, P. N. Osborne, C^de Conkey, Chas. Hanley, George Foster. R. B. Tappin, J. E. Barber. W. H. Foster, Wdl Clarke. F. G. White, President of the Club presided, with Jesse Ives as Vice-Chairman. The table was spread in the main room and was laden with many good thinss. The olub is in a very prosperous condition, and new members are being rapidly added to the roll. The new quarters oonsist of a main room for meetings, etc,; a smaller room where the members store their wheels; reading and card roomB and a locker room. Next to the Bay City Wheelmen the Alameda Bioyole Club is now the most impor- tant cycling organization on the Pacific Coast, and already the young members have won much fame for themselves on the racing path. The following is a list of the oflioers: Pres- ident, F. G. White; Captain, Jesse Ives; Secretary and Treasurer, Frank Howlitt; First Lieutenant, Harry Potter; Second Lieutenant, Harry Williams; Bugler, Burt Burrell. The B. C. W. House Committee are very busy looking over the plans of the proposed new building. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. A large crowd of the Alpine boys were at the Bay District track on Sunday morning, George Armbruster ran half a mile in 2:14, and from the easy manner in which he finished it is but right to predict that Dan Cohen of Alameda wifl have to beat 2:10 to get ahead of the young Alpinite. Garrison wsb also on the track and does not seem to have lost any of bfs Sacramento speed. Cooke is keeping up practice and is imoroving both in style and speed. Captain Garrison, who has been timing Cooke for some weeks past, thinks that he will beat 24 min- utes for three miles before he gets through. Ex-Captain George W. Jordan of the O A C is in town and was at the grounds on Sunday to handicap the boys. Young Douglas B. Crane did not compete in tbe bandioap run on Sunday because Jordan would not give him enough start. Billy Kenealley is seldom seen on the cinder path nowa- days. Like the rest of the old timers, he may take it in his head to go into training again. Dave Egan is as fat as a tub of butter, and it would re- quire at least six months' hard training to bring him down to his old form again. Where have Yates and Zehfus, the heel and toe artists dis- appeared to? To-morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock a 220 yard, handicap, run for members of the Alpine Club will take place at the Bay District traok The list of entries is large and the race will be exciting. Three prizes will be awarded. There was but a vrry *lim orowd at tbe Olmympic grounds last Sunday to witness the 220 yard handicap run for mem- bers of the club. The handicapping was done by George W. Jordan. Captain Walter A. Scott held the pistol. The fol- lowing is a list of the entries with the handicaps: Steve V Casady, scratch: Charley A Jelleneak, 7 yards; P M Wand, 9 yards; Martin Espincsa, 11 yards; C Toomey, H C Collins, R McArthur, Christie and Ball each 18 yards; Quinn, 19 yards; Wilson and Belan each 20 yards; Herlihy, 21 yards; F M Cooley and Redding each 24 yards: Goucher, 27 yards; Morrell 28 yards. The prizes were 1st, a hand satchel; 2nd, a running shirt. The race was run in four heats and a final and resulted as follows: First heat— C Jelleneak, let; F M Cooley 2nd. Time, 24 2 5secs. Second heat— P M Wand, 1st; C Toomey, 2nd. Time, 24 4 osecs. Third heat— H C Collins, lBt; M Espinosa, 2nd. Time, 24 1 5secs. Fourth heat— R MoArthur, 1st: V Casady 2nd. Time, 24 l-5secs. Final heat — M Espinosa, 1st, McArthur 2nd. Time, 23 1 5secs. The final had eight starters and Espinosa won a good race from McArthur who wa3 a close second. To- morrow there will be a 1200 yard handicap run. Two prizes will be given to the first and second men. Little, the runner, is up North. He is Buffering from a bad calf and will not be able to run for some time. Kendall, his partner, has also skipped the tra la la la for parts un- known. James Jervis has retired from active practice for an inde- finite period. Mr. Jervis has been in the athletio business for a good many years and id growing tired of winning honors in tbe cinder path. The captains of the Olympic and Alpine Clubs should try and arrajge for a competitive cro3S country run between the two clubs. When June Dennis, the colored sloggerfound, like Othello, that his occupation was gone he became insane and 1b now confined in an asylum. A good mff, and about three weeks later sold him to T. B. Cooper, who now lives in Adin, Modoc Co., C»l , but then lived in Ot.lusa. and in the fall of 1878 John Nelson di^d on Mb property at his ranch about one and a half miles from the town of Colu- sa, Cal." This is very important news to many breeders in the State of California, especially to those living in the up- per San Joaquin Yalley, as there are a great number of mares in that neighborhood sired by the celebrated old horse and in many cases they are eligible to registra- tion. We feel jilad that this matter has been definitely settled and that Mr. Wallace has acknowledged his er- ror. The Standard Stakes. ^ When the committee appointed by the National Trot- ting Horse Breeders' Association formulated the set of rules which are now in existence for the purpose of en- abling trotting horses to enter the 2:30 list, it probably never occurred to them that they were making a set of rules, which almost barred out one class of horses from getting a record. Norlaine at present holds the yearl- ing record of the world, 2:3l£, and yet Mr. Corbitt and many of his friends are positive in the belief that the San Mateo Stock Farm has at least one if not more that can beat the time formerly made by the Palo Alto representative; yet uuder the new rules Mr. Corbitt can not trot his yearling against Norlaine's record, but he is forced to go in with other horses to try and beat 2:30. As we understand the lules, if he should trot iu 2:304, he fails to make a record, so it is presnuied that Nor- laine's lime would still stand good: be that as it may. Mr. Corbitt has determined to enter at least one of his >earliogsin the Standard Suke3atthe Breeders' Meet- ing, and for bis pluek in doing so, we wish him all the sucupss imaginable. What a victory it would be for his now celebrated firm if he should produce the first yearling, to enter the 2*:30 list. A Dead Sportsman. He has gone with the dry leaves at the falling of the year. Percy Williams is to-day one of the clods in the valley. Only 28 years of age and gifted with a percep- tion of men and manners far beyond most men of his age, he has gone from our midst, leaving behind him only the sunniest of memories. Faults he bad beyond all cavil, but they were the faults of a brave and gener- ous nature. Quick tempered and impulsive, he was juBt as ready to forgive, nor did he ever sully his manhood by brooding in malice over a wrong and seeking a coward's revenge in the dark. The dead man was a loyal friend and an honorable foe to all the world. Percy Williams was born in this city in 1862, hia father, Thomas H. Williams, having been a prominent attorney of this State, and subsequently Attorney Gen- eral of Nevada. His mother was Miss Mary Bryant before marriage, daughter of Col. J. J. Bryant, who ran against Col. Jack Hays for Sheriff of San Francisco at the first county election held hero after the admission of the State into the Union. He leaves behind him two brothers, one of whom we regard as one of the finest business men in the. State, and a childless widow, the daughter of our life-long friend, Geo. W. Trahern, Esq., of Stockton. His estate is something in excess of half a million dollars. It is hard to recall a cleaner cut Saxon face or a jaun- tier figure. Graceful in action, he was equally graceful in speech and genial cf manner. If a man went to hira for a favor, and he was able to grant it, he did so in a quiet and unostentatious manner which doubled the value of the obligation. If be refused it, he did so iu such a gracious way that the refusal carried with it no sting. But the last word must be said and the last gar- land cast upon his grave. If the little of good we achieve here is to be forgotten, and the evil we do is to be carved in adamant, life will not be worth the living. We for- get his faults, and remember bim only as a brave and manly man, whose word was his bond and whose honesty defied impeachment. ' The Washington Park Club. No more successful racing and social organization exists in the United States than the club whose name forms the caption of this notice. For years they have been acknowledged as tue leading racing association of the West, and horses are sent from ail over the country to take part in the rich stakes and purses which are yearly offered. On next Wednesday, October loth, there will close seven of their events, four of which will be run off in 1891 and three of them in 1892. Of those for next year, the most important is the Hyde Park, to which the association adds the sum of $5,000; this is a sweepstakes for two-year olds, and usually has a vjry large number of entries. The three other stakes to be run off in 1891 are the Kenwood, the Lakeside and .Drexel to which is added $1,000 to each stake. The tw« former of these stakes are for two-year-olds, while the latter is for three- year- olds. The three races which are to be run off iu 1S92 consist of the American Derby, the Englewood and the Sheridan stakes. To the American Derby the Washington Park Club has added the mag- nificent sum of $10,000. This dow classic event is always generously supported from the Pacific Slope, and it may be presumed that this year will form no excep- tion to the rule. This will prove the richest American' Derby ever run for, and we can but simply hope that a California horse may win the small fortune which will go to the hcrse first under the wire. To the Englewood stakes the association adds $1,000; to the Sheridan, $1,500. The first of these is for fillies (foals of 1S89), while the latter is for three year-olds with no sex res- triction. In the advertisement it will be seen that the association announces that they are going to give twenty-five days' racing, and that more than $100,000 will be given in added money to stakes and puises. All communications in reference to these or other entries must be made to J. E. Brewster, Room 32, Palmer House, Chicago. The Paere Sale. Already a great deal of interest is being manifested hy prominent breeders throughout the State in reference to the sales wheh will be made at the Napa Race Track during the meeting of the Breeders' Association. Mrp Page has carefully selected a splendid lot of well brad trotting stock; many of the mares being iu foal to either Eclectic 11,321 or Mortimer 5,346. Many of the young colts aud fillie3 are entered in some of the large stakes both Etst and West, and one cannot tell but what a well bred trotting horse maybe purchased for a small amount aud in the near future proved a winner of a small for- tune. Messrs Killip & Co. have the matter in band and have issued a full and complete catalogue, which will be sent on application. Those who have not al- ready received tbem will 6nd in our advertising column* a synopsis of tbe stock which will be offered for sale. 1890 «glxje Jgvtt&sx and gyovUmuu. 337 Nominations and Final Payments P.

There was a decided cnaQgein the bidding the second day at the winding-np sale at Parkville, L. I., of John H. Shulta' trotting stock. Nehushta, at $6,100, touched the limit at one end, and ;m unnamed five months colt at $200 brought up tbe rear. While neither of these extremes waB so great as at the first day, the run of prices was far tbe better. The attendance was large, and very many sorrowfully found that they were in too fast company, and came away without mak- ing a purchase. WheD W. S. Lawson, J. W. Daly, Peter LaDg and Schmol- bacb, Hamilton & Park made np their minds that they wanted a horse, it was useless to bid against them. There were no sensatioDul purchases, but there were some indica- tions of surprise whan the stallion Pancoast, which cost Mr. Shnlts $28,000, was knocked down at $3,750. Benjamin Johnson of Bodstown, N. J , was the buyer, and some fancy prices were paid for high-blooded colts but a few months old. One, the offspring of Stamboul and Gnlnare, but eight months old, went to J. W. Daly for $2,100. The whole sale, which was coocluded yesterday, has been eminently satisfac- tory to buyers, and Mr. Shults has but few horses left.

Ehret's stable, which con- tains some fairly useful horses, has not yet done unytoing in the way of winniog race?, but as the young fellow bas pleniy of money behind him there will be oo trouble about his getting tbe kind that can win once and a while, although whether or not he cm make a linancml success of his turf venture is another matter. It has been tbe experience of Beveral rich j onng men who have gone on the running lurf, and of some old ones, ton, for that matter — that, no matter how liberally a man buys, bin horses are certain to go wrong just wheu thejfshoald surely win. Of course to those who are oo the inside of things the explanation of this state of affairs is not particularly difficult, it being well known that bookmakers have a "pull" of the mo^t potent charaettr with nearly every trainer and jockey in the land, but Mr. Ebret has yet to make the duoovery.

A bay gelding that can show a mile in 2:30 can be bought cheap at the Napa race track. John Green was one of the visitors at the Reno and Caraon fairs, and he reports good attendance and tine sport. J. W. Bailey of Portland, Oregon, has been unfortunate enough to lose hia trotting stallion, Bailey's Kisber, by Kis- ber, dam by Pathfinder. Well, alack-a-day, Whipple's Hambletonian has another of his get in the list, as Cyclone trotted at Hueneme in 2;30 during the races there, Abdol, the well known stallion, (son of The Grand Moor) has been taken to Pleasanton where he will receive attention at the hands of Andy McDowell. The catalogues are out for the Wiifred Page sale at the Breeder's meetiue. and. from the oharacter of the stock to be offered there should be lively competition among prospective purchasers. Guy WilkeB is the only stallion who is the sire of fonr three- year-olds with records better than 2:20; they are Rupee, 2:16*, Regal Wilkes, 2:17*, Lillian Wilkes, 2:171, and Bable Wilkes, 2:18. By Holly polled off a conple of races in Nevada with the trotting stallion Charles Derby 2:24i. By the way, Steineer, a full brother to Derby, is showing considerable speed and should be heard from nest year. LaBt week mention was made that Mr. Marvin had sold Navidad to some Eastern party. It now turns out that John Splau was the purchaser, and from Navidad's performances, Genial John has not a better one in his stable. Charles Greene has a Siltan mare for sale, and al-=o a two- year-old filly out of her by Junio, together with the trotting mare Emma G., 2:27^, which he will dispose of reasonably to those who desire to purchase first class stock. Mr. Corey drove Almont Patchen a mile out last Sonday, at Fresno, id 2;12£. He was assisted by a runner (Willougb- by), who had to be honed to keep up with the pacer, who Mr. Corey says will pace in about 2.10 before 1891, Some one loBt a certificate a few days ago, issued by Mr. E. Topham, which refers to the breeding of Lady Nutwood, Lady Grosvenor, Nutgrove and Sylvia. The party who dropped the paper can have the same by calling at this office. Oar correspondent in sending in an account of the races at Santa Barbara, mentioned Brown's Monroe as a five-year-old, where as it should be four, he having been foaled in 1886. He is by Monroe Chief 875, dam Lady Tiffany by Gibraltar. Matt Storn started yesterday for Los Angeles, having eight head of thoroughbreds with him. Matt has made a number of entrieB at the Angel City, and as his Btring are in prime condition at present, should be able to carry away his share of the purses. The Porterville races are always well attended by the cit- izens of Tulare Conoty, and the sports of the best. On Oc- tober 16th, 17th and 18th there will be some exerting speed contests, the directors promising the best programme that has ever been offered. John A. Goldsmith has now given five three-year-olds rec- ords belter than 2:20; a showing which I think no driver in the world has equalled. The five are Regal Wilkes, 2:l7i, Lillian Wilkes, 2:17f, Sable Wilkes, 2:18, and the pacers Yofo Maid, 2:14, and Rupee, 2:16*. Mr. Gilbert Tompkins of the Souther Farm has sent quite a string of horses to Napa where they will be given the fin- ishing touches preparatory to the Breeders Meeting. They have gone up under the care and guidance of Peter Woods and we hope that he may be able to pilot many of his charg- es to viotoiy. Faustino is going a right merry clip under the able Men- torship of John Dickerson, and inere is still a chance for him to eqaal or beat the record of Regal Wilkes. At Kankakee, last week, he trotted the mile in 2.23i, with a trifle to spare, and it is predicted that at Independence he will make a strong bid for the two year old stallion record. F. B. Baldwin, the well known manager of the Fresno and Coronado Beach race tracks, is naturally highly elated at the great showing made over the Fresno track liBt week. Frank tells me that he will go to CoroDado in the latter part of this month and personally superintend the track, and expects to put it into such shape that records will fall like grain before the reaper. Louis Scbafft-rof Livermore Vnrli-y has sold to A. T, Hatch the two year old stallion Sidney Roy, by Sidney, dam Miss Roy by Buccaneer, Becond dam Ella Roy (dam of Allen Roy 2;17£). This promising young colt trotted a half mile list week in 1:13} to cart; and his new owner ha? every confi- dence that at Napa the colt will enter the 2:30 list. Price paid $4,000. All of the horsemen whom we have seen that has returned from Fresno speak in the highest terms of the management there. More money was divided than was promised in the advertisements, and those who took horses there that were not entered in any of the stakes or purses, had pl-nty of opportunities to take part in special races that were made up for their benefit. A liberal management is always appreciated by the pablic. The Stockton Association propose having a supplemental meeting on November 18 h and 19th, at which a majority of the races will be the Standard Breeder Stakes. There will be cante&ts for yearliogs, two, three and four-year olds. Iu these races the winner of any heat int-ide of 2;30 will be given the society's medal. It is a ■> announced that the racing will take place under the V llaee rules which is a mistake, as the rules were instituted by the National Trot ting Horse Breeders Association. The Los Angeles Association offered a big purse for the pacers Hummer and Silkwood, but it is said that the owner of S lkwood will not start; if he does a good jace should be »eeo. Hummer has proved himself an exceptional race horse despite his lameness, which no one c*u locate, some siying it is in his hip while others pUce it all the w*y down to his foot. Ki'kwnod, at the Los Angeles meeting, pac d three bcits in 2:21£, 2:20 and 2:20$ with Rich ridiculous ease that he should give Hummer all he wonts before the race ends. The Wilkes 3 year old stallion Alcyon, owned by Dr John Wilbur of Palmer, Mass., and valued at §10,000, was burned in a barn near Iowa City last week. The horse was sent there recently for breeding purposes. No insuranoa. An amateur driver who is the proud possessor of a fast pacer and a fairly good tiotter has been driving them double lately and the team show up pretty well although unevenly mated as to gait. Last Saturday they were driven around the Bay Distriot track and completed the mile in 2:21 J. Some of the Eastern papers have Been fit to ridicule what they term the homely appearance of Hickob's two crack horses, Alfred S. and Adonis, and claim that they areas homely a pair as can possibly be seen in any one stable. For gracious' sake, I wonder if the man who first penned the item about this pair ever Baw Johnston and Ed. Annan. Tlie New Zealand colt Teksum, {whose name is "Musket" Bpelled backwards,) won the Country Purse at Windsor after a Bplendid contest with eighteen others. He was bred by Thomas Morrin, of Wellington Park, New Zealand, and was sold in May last to Edward Keys of Sydney for $2000, He was a very unpromising colt in his early training, and has since become a great galloper. Teksum is by Musket, out of Renga, and came of a good New Zealand family. Bowerman Bros, of Lexington, Ky., have sold to Brasfield & Tipton the 2 year old bay filly Lady Wilton, 2:25, by Wil- ton, 2:19J; dam Lemonade, 2:27J, by Kentucky Prince, Jr; price, $10,000, which is of money than a 2 year old trotter ever brought in Kentucky. Lady Wilton is royally bred. Her aire is a son of George WilkeB and is the only Btallion that ever beat Palo Alto in a race, and, through her dam, she traces back to Alexander's Abdallah, Brignoli, Pilot, Jr., and Old Bull. Her engagements for this year have been declared off by fhe Bale, but she will be campaigned next year. John Mackey, the well known Rancho Del Paoo Superin- tendent, left for New York last Monday evening. The genial hor-eman— who was in San Franoisco for several days prior to leaviog, says that he will bring back the two equine gi- ants, Salvator and the peerless Firenzi, aa well as several mares which ba^e been purchased In the East. Game old Firenzi will now retire to private life under the big oaks at Rancho del Paso, while the incomparable Salvator will take his place in the stud among the kings of the turf near Mr. Mackey's temple at "The Bottom." Megaphone, by Newbold, out of Sound by The Drummer, won the great Hawksbury Handicap at Windsor in tbe hol- lowest sort of style in 2:35£, and carrying 108 pounds. Prince Imperial, who wod it in exactly the same time, car- ried but 96 pounds and was five years old, while Megaphone is but three. Little Bernie, by Dr. Ross' Cheviot, was a good second. This colt Megaphone sold for $285 as a year- ling, and won three races at Brisbane as a two-year-old, His owner is kicking himself for not entering him in the Caulfield Cup. There were many prominent horsemen at Fresno last week. L. M. MorBe, the owner of Dexter Prinoe, went down to see Princess Alice perform; Monroe Salisbury was to be seen ex- ercising many of his celebrities. Unfortunately it was not thought advisable to start Margaret S., aR although she was perfectly sound, yet there was a slight puff on one leg where she hit herself at Sacramento, and Mr. S. thought he would not run chances but, would save her for Napa. G. E. Gurne and A. Button went down together, while* General Luke Du Bois, Baldwin, Hamilton, Capt. B. E Harris Professor Heald, H. J. Aenew, T. R Blasingham and many others were there for the week. Tantallon, by Wellington out of Phizgig by Volligeur, is now in fourth plaoe in the betting on the Melbourne Cup, which is to be run on the fourth of November. He is own brother to Mr. L J. Rose's brown mare Catherine Wheel, which was left behind to be bred to Malua in February next. Tantallon belongs to Hon. Donald Wallace, who owns the great Carbine, as well as Mentor, winner of the Melbourne Cup of 1888. Should Carbine be unable to win the Cup, Tantillon will be on hand to do the trick; aDd as he will have but 111 pounds in the saddle, his chances are none of the worBt. Two years ago Thomas Keating brought out the speedy Sensation, and made quite a reputation for bim. This year he has brousht before the public Frank M, 2:18, who has proved himself game to the baokbone. An examination of the breeding of these two horses will show that they are bred in almost the same lines. Sensation 2.22, by Peacock, son of Whipple's Hambleto- nian, out of a mare by Ouein Sabe, son of the same horse. Frank M. 2:18, by Priam, son of Whipple's Hambletonian, dam by Gen.

Wbat a sire Tilton Almont might have been if his oppor- tunities had been equal to those of other prominent stallions in this State; as it is he himself, backed by the great Almont and Clark Chief blood, has proved a racehorse, hav- ing a record of 2:26, while bis grandson, Almont Patchen, has a Dacing record of 2:15. Almonta, one of his daughters, has a record of 2:25, Dtisy S, another one, has a record of 2:23£, Kitty Almont 2:22|, while Belle A has a record of 2:29. In the advertising columns this week it will be seen that this great horse is advertised for sale by W. W. Belton of Colusa, who, upon application, will send full particulars, and also the price for which the stallion may bs bought. Mr. G. E. Guerne, tbe well known owner of Alfred G. 2:t9J, and Mr. Button were io Fresno last week and both gentlemen expressed their anxiety to match Alfred G. against Hazel Wilkes 2:20 for $2000, or as much more as the Wilkes side of the house would put up.

Kerr honor. It is styled the "Fresno Fair Number," and contains a splendid description of Fresno County, the track. Association and city, besides photographs and biographical sketches of the officers of the Fresno Fair Association. Elegant photographs of Junio, Raymond, Napa Wilkes, Clovis, and Illiera are published. The paper is brimful of good, reliable baseball, athletic and horse news, and is as a whole the finest publication of its kind ever printed in California, unless it is with the excep- tion of its State Fair edition of one year ago.— Petalama Im- print. Dr. A. E. Buzzard, the veterinary surgeon who is making an inspection of the horses of Monterey county with a view to finding glanders or other infectious diseases, writes to Supervisor Samuels that he found the cooDtry free from glanders until he reached the Sjledad Mission where he says ' I find the disease terribly bad. I condemned and had killed six horsey yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon." The Dr. saya that he is going at once to the Arroyo S ci district where be is informed that glanders are very prevalent. After examin- ing throughly the stock in the Arroyo Seco country, he will go to San Lucas where he is credibly informed many horses are affected. Dr. Buzzard writes th«t he has met with no trouble, as everybody seems anxious to have the matter in* vestigated. They declare that they have had the disease among their stock for three or four years and did not know what it was. He says: "The owners thems^ves have had many infected animals destroyed." — Salinas Democrat. Since the a'^ove was setup we learn that the Doctor hhs had nineteen horses killed. Two years ago Charles Kerr who wa3 building up a breed- ing farm near Bakerstield which be has since christened 'The Antrim Stock Farm," purchased from Rancho Del Paso several regul thoroughbred brood mares in fo.l to Mr. Hag- gin's renowned Btallion. Several times since then Mr. Kerr has received what seemed liberal offe' s for the produce of tl e mares but always declined to put a price on tbem declaring he wonld race tbem and gain everlasting fame and renown, for tbe Antrim Stock Fanu but last Saturday he was induced by Dr. Sargent to put a price on Borne of them with the re- sult that eight yearlings, all fillies, by Sir Modred, Kyrle Daly. Tyrant, Milner et al, changed ownership for $6,000. The purchaser Dr. Sargent is one of our new raciDg men, young, and with plenty of money he should make a BuooeFS and certainly cannot go far wroDg if hi buys such highly bred youngsters as he has already done, for when they have ended their career on the turf they should be invalvable in the paddock. An English writer says: High knee action had its origin in England in the far off days before the coming of C;e*ar. It seems to be certain that at first the bi°h knee action was found combined with profuse bair on tail, neck and fetlock. Of course the action has been modified, and the legs, too — the American speed records are an illustration of tliiB. But the high knee-action originated, as we believe, in Britain, before the Romans came to teach us how to make roads. When wheeled vehicles had to be dragged, full speed, over laud covered with sedge and rank herb?ge, the horses had to lift their feet. The fact that the original inhabitants of Britain were bad road makers made it imperative that their horses should have action suitable to such going as there was, and that meant that they should lift their feet well off the ground. Their shaggy coats were consequent to a cli- mate which made such hair necessary for survival of a Brit- ish spring. What the Americans seem to have done is to combine the gait of the Western horse with the nostril and clean bone of the Oriental. Prominent among the many race goers who attend the Fresno races was L. R. Richards Grayson, Stanislaus Co. Mr. Richards has been gradually picking up a lot of valuable bred mares, and several years ago he purchased Elector 2170 us- ually known as Richards Elector. He has a record of 2:31 but was not trained much and it is said on reliable authority that he many times showed halves at a 2:20 gait. His breed- ing is unexceptional. He was bred at Palo Alto, by Electioneer dam Gilberta by St. Clair (Fred Low) 656 sire of Clay 2:25J, grand dam Lady Gilbert the grand dam of Lot Slocum 2:17J etc. I have heard of many of his colts which showed great promise while only last season J. A Dustin drove J R. a three year old by him in 2;24 at Stockton distancing the whole field. About the only other of his colts that has had really been worked is Wesley a five year old gelding by Elec- tor. He was taken easily by Dan MiCaity and sold a few weeks ago for $5,000 after showing a mile better than 2:25 with ridiculous ease. Mr. Richards says that he intends hav- ing all hie stock catalogued, and will probably have them trained as he is particularly sweet on some youngsters by the horse and with tbe many well bred mares he has be should soon be in the foremost rank of breeders as his judgment is remarkably good in all horse business. The gentleman who writes the horse notes in the Breeders Gazette is evidently suffering from spleeuic disorder, judging from bis comments in the oorrent number. He declares that the publio has a right to question tbe reoords made at Inde- pendence; asserts that Monroe Salisbury has purchased a lot of brood mareB in Kentucky, although the stnry was denied many weeks ago; claims that Roy Wilkes 2-OSA, the best for a pacer, is lame, when it is neither his recjrd nor the best for a pacer; says that John Madden was lucky to get rid of Suisuu at §11,000, and seems to be disappointed that E^ith R. only sold for 57,600 at the ShultsSale. but he makes the worst display when he says: "Through the performances this season of the little pacer Cricket, the California stallion Steimvay has oome into prominence, and now it appears that another of his get is going well, this being (he stallion Charles Derby, that "Bi" Holly has been working at Napa. He was started in a race not long ago, winning the second and fifth beats in 2:25A, 2;30, by which time it looked bb though be had the race at his mer^y. In the next mile, however, he be- came muoh distressed, Hnishing far behiod the distance flag. A veterinary surgeon was called, aud after an examination he decided that the horse was suffering from congestion of the heart. In this part of the country when a horse wins a couple of heats and is then distanced the general verdict is that the driver is suffering with mnsoular contraction of the arms, but perhaps in the genial climate of California it does not work this way. Trobably Mr. "Bi" Holly could tt-11 tbe innocent reporters of that section something about this complaint, as it was very prevalent some years neo when "Bi" was driving Little Sam and other horses in Michigan, and he doubtless had an opportunity to observe its effects on other drivers." 1890 %ht fpmte and ,f porismim 339 The Blood Horee Association.

[■Written for the Bbeedeb and Sfobtsman.1 Away back from Fort Burke on the Maquarrie river in New South Wales, some years ago, numerous bands of wild horses used to roam over the vast myall plains. At the head of one mob of horses was an old white stUlion. He was a beauty, and so fleet of foot that for years he had defied the best stock- men in the country, and many a good horse had been broken down in a vain attempt to capture this white monarch of the plains. One night after a hard day's work catting out cattle (a pro- cess almost similar to the Californian "rodea), a number of stockmen were sitting around the open fireplace, in the big room at Injabar station, when the subjeot of wild horses came up, and of course the white stallion came in for the major part of the conversation. •'What do yon say, boys,"said Jack Frost from Emaweena, "if we all meet a week from to-day and see if we can't yard up that d-d white stallion. He plays the devil with all the quiet horses around, and only last week he, or one of his band, nearly killed a valuable thoroughbred of mine." After some little further talk on the subject, it was arranged that we were all to meet at Frost's place on the night of the following Tuesday, and start from there at daylight on Wed nesday morning. It was about ten mile3 from Frost's to the plains, where the band of horses, led by the famous white stallion, were usually seen, and we calculated to get there just about the time the horses had gone ont in the open to feed. We em- ployed the time that intervened in collecting all the "sweat- ers" we could from among the bands of tame horses around the station. It may be as well to explain to the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman that a "sweater" is a stray horse belonging to somaone else, and I regret to say that in those days we preferred using them for Buch hard work as running in wild horses to taking chancBB with our own. With an accommo- dating sophistry of our own, we argued that we were only making them earn their grub It is true that in several instances the "sweater" was not of much use after a day or two'B running horses with him. We managed to muster up, before the day came, six good horses, and started off to Jack Frost's place at Emaweena. There were eight of us in all, and as we sat around the big open fireplace that winter's night, smoking and drinking rum and water, some pretty tough old yarns were spun. Snake stories were in order, and one told by Jim Carter is really worth repeating. Said Jim: "A couple of years ago I was out kangaroo hunt, ing near the Bojm oreek. The day was terribly hot, as a regular "brickdoster" was blowing, and I thought that a bath in the creek would be a good idea. I found a nice deep hole with a sandy little beach to dress on, and lost no time in get- ting undressed and taking a header into the cool water. My four dogs came in, too, and we were all having a high old time, when my attention was attracted by a tremendous com- motion on the little sandy beach where I had left my clothes- I hurried to the spot and found some ten black snakeB waging a war to the death with my clothes right in the mid- dle of them. I never saw such fierce fighting in my life, and in less than five minutes four snakes were disabled and writhing in impotent wrath, with broken backs. I watched them fight for probably a quarter of an hour, when I con* eluded that standing naked under a scorohiog sun was not as good fun as it might be, so I made a braak for my clothes. I expected that the snakes would creep off at my approach, but, much to my surprise ahd alarm, as soon as they Baw me they stopped their fighting, and with one accord made for me, hissing and rearing np their heads as if ready to eat me np. It is needless to say that I beat a hasty retreat to the water, and then plunging in, defied my pursuers, who did not like water. In vain I hunted for a stone that I could throw at the creatures. There was not one to be found. Would you be- lieve me, those snakes kept me four hours in the water be- fore they dispersed and allowed me to get to my clothes?" "That's a pretty good snake story," said our host, "and I vote we go to bed on it." And we all did so. Before daylight we were all up getting our horses, and af- ter a hasty breakfast of salt beef and damper, Btarted off after the white stallion. It was a lovely morning, and the brush was fairly alive with wallabyB and parrotB,aod every now and then we would come across a dingo slinking off through the brush. A couple of hours easy riding brought us to the big Yarra plain, *here the white stallion and his baud had usually been seen. On one side of this plain was a small water hole, sur* rounded by gum and wattle trees, and we determined to get round to the back of this so that should the horses be there we could rush them out into the open. This was a wise move, for just as we were approaching within quarter of a mile of the water hole a cloud of dust and the rattle of hoofs told us that the wild horses were there and had already scented ns. Hastily tightening our girths we all started off at full gal- lop to get behind the band and force them into the plain. After half an hour hard riding we succeeded in turning them and soon had the large band with the famous white stallion out in the open and heading for home. There were over a hundred head of horses in the band, and quite a number of colts and fillies. Crack! crack! went our stock whips and faster flew along our horses. The old white led the way, and a grand sight he was with his mighty mane almost touching the ground, and his nostrils dilated and his tail streaming out as he galloped along. The pace was terrific and several mares and colts dropped behind. We did not bother with them but kept right on after the main band. At last we came in sight of tne stock yard, whioh had two wings built out some quarter of a mile in length. If we could only get the charskins between these winge we had them safe, so running up our horses for a final effort, we rushed the band along at the top of their speed. Just as we reached the wings the old white steed made a break to es- cape, but we managed to turn him in time, and in ten minutes more we had the whole band safely yarded np. We all dismounted and eagerly crowded in to get a good look at the famous white, that had so long defied the best riders in the country. We did not have much time to examine the noble animal, for as soon as he found that he was a prisoner he made a fierce dash at the eight foot fence and fell back with a brok- en neck. It was too bad, but could not be helped, and after all he would have been no good for he was too old to break and never could have been tamed. We divided the rest of the band between us, drawing lots for cboioe, and each of us went home eight horses richer than we started. There were a few good young horses in the ''band and of course a good many daffers, but on the whole they were a fair lot and none of us had much cause to oomplain. Names Claimed. VETERINARY.

S. 1117 Golden Gate Avenue. San Francisco. W. H. T. According to Dr. Egan's directions I have used the medi- oine, 10 grains of nnj vomica, per day for seven days and the horse is greatly improved. I have also kspt his loin ir- ritated with strong liniment and washed it clean and oiled it frequently. I will contione the medicine afew days and will be obliged if Dr. Egan will advise me through the Breeder and Sportsman whether or not to continue the trsntment if so how long? Answer.— After yon have given the medioino as directed for two weeks, stop giving it for fonr or five days and then continue as before, leaving it off about every two weeks. You can jndge by the appearance and action of the colt when there is no farther need for it. You may again repeat the liniment when the scab or Bcrnff caused by it has all disappeared and the skin on that part of appears in its natural condition. W. h. Eyre.

C W. P. My dog has had the mange for several years. Have used a wash heretofore which has had the desired effect for the time being. He now has awelling of the jointB and breaking out all over his hind legs and stomach, of running matterated sores. Wjat is the best course of treatment? Answer— Apply the following mixture daily: Iodide of sulphur, two ounces. Glycerine, sixteen ounces. If the sores do not appear to yield to this treatment dust Iodoform over them daily. Give the dog a bath every three days in water containing some of Littles Soluble Phenyle Continue this treatment unlil all the sores have disap- peared, and continue the baths every three or four days for two weeks after all signs of the disese have gone. C. A. Is lockjaw in horses cnreable. I have had three cases within the last year and all of them died. The man who attended them said that it is doubtful if a true case of lockjaw ever gets well, aud it so not one in a hundred. Answer.— Tetanus or "Loakjiw" is curable. In looking over my books I see that I have attended eight cases with- in the last year, and six out of the eight are alive yet to-day The chances of recovery depend as much on the attention paid to them by the owDer or his man, as on the medicines given by the veterinary surgeon. You must keep them in a quiet oomfortable stable, and above all thiDgs dont have an irritable bad tempered groom attendiDg to ihem. A horee affected in this way is very nervous and every little thine that frightens him iojores* him. About three months ago I was attending to a horse affected with tetanus, the owner of which was hims'lf acting as stableman. I saw that whenever the owner came into the stable the horee would rush up into the stall and tremble violently from head to foot. A few days later he would Bnort, and kick when his owner went near him. I saw that this was injuring him so I got him removed to a neighbors stable where all his nervousness left him and he rapidly improved. He is working steadily ever Bince. I write this to Bhow yon what influence the surroundings have in treating a horse affected with tetanus. IF^or Sale.

The Executive Committee American Kennel Club — Gentlemen: I beg to submit for your action, the applications for admission to membership from the English Setter Club. New York; National Beagle Club, Boston, Massachusetts; Pouth Carolina Poultry and Pet Stock Associa ion, Greenville, Sautn Carolina. According to the Constitutions of above cluba. they are eligible to membership. In the case of the National B jagle Club, the app'ication specifies that the principal object of said club is for the purpose of holding field trials for beagles, but the Constitution also specifies as one of Its objects "to promote the improvement on the bench" of its special breed. The American Beagle Club has been a member of this club since February 23, 18S8, and was organized for the purpose of the imp-ove- ment of the beagle, the adoption of a standard to breed to, and to be judged by on the bench It is now for you to decide as to the justice or expediency of the admission of another club confined to the beagle. In the case of the application of the South Carolina Poultry and Pot Stock Association, [ would call your attention to the fact that we already have a member under the same title, with its headquarters at Charleston, S. 0. S Lid Club was elected February 1, lt89. The appli- cation from the Peoria Kennel Club, advertised in June, July and August Gazettes, was withdrawn Sep'ember 3, 1830. I have to report that under date of July )8, 1890, 1 received a notice from the Maryland Kennel Club, and signed James Thompson, Secretary protem, to the effect that at a meeting of said club, the following resolution was passed: * Tbat th« American Keunel Club b> censured for refusing to receive our delegate at their meeting of Miy 22d," he being furnished with proper credentiils by the Maryland K nnelClub. Tte Cleveland Bench Show Association notified this club of its change of name to that of the Cleveland Kennel < lub, and requests th it such change may De made upon our records. I beg to report that the suspension of t\ W. Knoblauch.tfora period of sis months, has been removed by the expiration of the ime stated. March 21, 1890, to September 21, 1890 I hereby report that I fileii with the Michigan Kennel Club a protest against the award to entry 312 Class 118. Wire hiired Fos Terriers, at its show held September 2-5, 18 0, eai dog being shown under the name of Wentworth Wonder. My reason for said protest was to pro- tect the prefix "Wentworth," which was duly registered June 23, 1888, by another party I have been instructei by tbo owner of the dog shown at Detroit, to ctaDge the mme of his dog to "Wonder," and have corrected it accord ngly in the certified prize list, to be pub- lished in the Gazette for Septem ber. I submit herewith a oomplaint from Mrs. F. Smyth againBt the Cincion ti Kennel Club for a viola- tion of its own rules at its Show held in June of th's year, in that said club reopened a class that had been already judged to admit two other dogs that had been received on the second day of the show. I also submit an appeal from Dr. M. H Cryr against the awarding of the special prize "for best kennel of four pugB" at the Cincinnati Kennel 01m Show June. 1890. Dr. Cryer protested the Baid award, and said protest was not allowed 1 y.'Jie Show Committee of the Cin- cinnati Kennel Club; he now apre^Ts.gainst Ibis decision. The nee- eaeary deposits of five dollars wiib>na protest, and ten dollars with the appeal have been nuad<\ aB required by the rules I herewith submit a complaint from Mr. T. Jacobs of Newton Abbot, England, against Mr. B H. Oldham, New York, stating tbat in connection with he sale of some of his dogs to said Oldham, a balance of £90 or 8450 ■was due; that he accepted a draft on New York for said amount, said draft was not honored by the bank when presented for payment, and up to August 13, 1890, had never been redeemed by said Oldham Mr. Jacobs asks for some action by tbiH club in order to prevent satd Oldham from exhibiting the dogs not paid for, and advises that his attorney in this city, will produce such evidence and proof in his behalf as roan be required. Undpr date of May 5,1889, Mr. James Wataon filed with this club an appeal from the decision of the Roches- ter Kennel Club, in the matter of bis protest against Metchley Sur- prise wrongly entered in the challenge class at the show of 1889. At the meeting or this club held May 2*. 18P9, this appeal was heard and action of the RocheBtor Club was reversed and Mr. Watson's protest sustained. In Mr. Watson's "protest be requested the Rochester Ken- nel Club to have reserve numbers tnken on account of bis dog Clipper competing sgalnst Betchley Surprise for a special prize As said Watson has never been able to learn from the Rochester Kennel Olub whether or not, his request for reserve numbers bad been complied with, he submitted the matter to this club, and asked tbat some ac- tion might be taken to ascertain why his request had not been granted. Tbla matter was referred to the Advisory Committee, and at its meeting December 19, 1*89, the matier was laid over until such time as Mr. Watson would produce evidence to sustain big appeal. And agatn at the meeting of said Committee held April 7, 18W>, both parties were requested to furnish further particulars, as to time and dates of proteBt, and request for reserve numbers Mr, Watson has complied with all of the requests of the Committee, but the Com- mittee finds it Impossible to obtain any information from the Roches- ter KenDel Club. Its Secretary writes under date of July 26, 1890, that be prefers to eiy nothing regarding the matter, and refers me to Dr. J. P. Gray, the President of the Club. I addressed a communica- tion to Bald Gray on April 3, 1P90, requesting him to reply to five questions, as directed by the Advisory Committee, In which no reply bas yet been received, oeitber has the letter been returned to Ihls office. I again wrote Gray on Jnty 30. 1890, and registered the letter, which waB returhed to me from the post ofiVe as unclaimed. I re- spectfully submit that 1be Rochester Club Bhould be compelled to reply to the questions put to U to enable this club to transact the business bofore it, or, said club Fhnuld be disciplined for such neglect. Owl*"g to an impression that the Dantmry, Conn, wins would count this year, probably gained by the recognition of the awards won at that show In 1889, I thought it my duty to publiBh In the Sporting papers the following card: In reply to the many inqniries received from intended ex- hibitors, and for the general information of the public, I de- sire to give notice through your columns, that the wins at the forthcoming bench show to re held at Danbury, ConD., will not be recognized, the Connecticut State KenDel Clnb, under whose aospices the DaDbnry show was held last year, having in the mean time ceased to be a member of the Amer- ican Kennel Clnb.

President Belmont stated that he had been criticised by some of tbe sporting papers and others on his action in leav- ing the ohair and taking part in certain proceedings from the fact tbat he wa<) not a delegate. He proceeded, "I never for a moment questioned my right to do so, although there is nothing in tbe cons'itution about it, lor the reason that the president is not simply and purely the Chairman of the Ex- ecutive Commit ee or Association. The President, under the constitution, is required to act on questions of disqoalin a- tion. He is obliged to be ex-officio of the Advisory Commit- tee, and to transact all sorts of routine business between the meetings between the meetings, and I supposed it was my privilege to speak on any important matter that 0 per cent, of en- trance money and $50 cash, donated by the Morrison House, Great Bend; the runner up, 50 per oent. of remaining money; third and fourth, 25 per cent, eaoh of money re- maining after Becond division.

Entries close October 20tb, a* 10 r. m., immediately after which the drawing will take place. Ooly clnb members will be allowed to make entries. Great Bend is situated on the line of the Atchison, Tope- ka and Santa Fe, and Missouri Pacific Railroads, almost in the exact center of Kansas. It is a city of nearly 4,000 in- habitants— a grand place for bneineGS, for a home or for pleasure. Its hotel accommodations are first class. The Morrison and Grand Central are well up to the times. The headquarters of the American Coursing Club will be at the Morrison House during the meeting. Please send ns the names oj your friends who are interested in field oonteBts, and we will send them a programme. It is suitable for all. Carriages are numerous on the grounds and ladies on horse- back are quite as numerous as those of the opposite Bex. Bring your saddles, bridles and field glasses, and also saddle horse if possible. A special meeting will be held on the even- ing of the 20th, for the purpose of balloting on membership. Any one wishing to join the Club should send in their appli- cation by that time to the Secretary. For entry blanks, application for membership, rules of coursing, etc, address Ira D.

We see much written in sporting journals, regarding the question as to what constitntes "style" in a dog. Some of the writers go so far as to single out certain acts and habits of the animal and grouping them together build up a pyra- mid of stilted acts and complacently announce that this con- stitutes style! The broad assertions that a dog shows "style" in movement, "in his way of feeling for scent" and "in com- ing to a point" are perhaps general enough to approach the truth, but when any writer attempts to particularize the acts which constitute "style" in a dog or any other animal or person he is in our opinion undertaking a task which is sim- ply absurd. The reason which impels ns to say so is tbat '"style" is that general air of ease and grace, shown at all times by the animal or person possessing it, which is so elu- sive as to render minute d< finition impossible, for tbe reason that any act which would be susceptable of direct and posi- tive definition would of itself be in a measure stiff and stilted. Where is "style" shown more fully and clearly than in re- pose? Yet even the camera fails to convey that Indefinable grace which the animal or person reveals even in this state, whioh perhaps would be easi- r of delineation and definition than ''the poetry of motion, "whioh innst be seen in order to be appreciated. Form, harmony of color, grace, ease and lightness of move- ment, delioacy of touch and scent, expressions indicating an- ticipation, wonder or satisfaction, are too delicate for cold tjpe to adequately convey. Good Btyle is, we believe, that indefinable blending and pu title voicing of all the better elements of ease, grace and intelligence, which indicate the state of perfection of the an- imal or person possessing them. No rule can be made for this; each one is essentially differ- ent from all others, and iu this very freedom from set rules is true "style" revealed. Mr. T. A. Andrews, breeder of rough coated St. Bernards in this city, made ns a pleasant call last week. Mr. James E. Watson, the proprietor of the r.pendid ken- nels at Berkeley, made this offioe a social call on Thursday last. The quarrel between the A. K. C. and theE. K. C. ib grow- ing interesting, at least to the members engaged in the con- troversy. Some remarkable work is recorded of the performance of Collies at the Leominster sheepdog trials on September 10th, in the Stook-keeper. 1890 ^lue IPtxete and, j&pjartsmatu The English mastiff is growing daily in the esteem of the i people for the many excellent qualities they possess, aDd the ' demand for them is good. All lovere of St. Bernards will be pleased to know that the Swiss Kennels have purchased and imported the little Donna Silva, by Dnke of Wellington out of Calypso. She is winner of some firet prizes. It wonld be well for all interested in Water Spmiels to know that, perhaps, the finest dog of this olass ever shown — King Slash — is owned at Denver, Colorado. English dog fanciers oonceed him the palm. The Fancier's Journal of Philadelphia states that Mrs- Frank Smith of chat city has jast purchased the St. Bernard bitch Dart by Duke of Wellington, and that she is in whelp to the celebrated dog Lord Bute. St. Bernard fancierfl Bhould take a note of it. The Eleventh Scottish Kennel Club's Show at Elinburg, on the 17th of last month, is reported to have been the finest and most sa'i-fictoiy of any gathering jet held hv that body. St. Bernards Ketrievers, Collies, Pointers and Fox-Terriers were especially well represented. The action of the National Greyhound Club of Brooklyn, New York, in donating a solid silver cup to be run for as a prize at Great Bend, Kanssas, October 21 to 25, was a grace- ful method of expressing the interest of the Club in that event. Such action serves to cement the fellowfeeling which shonld be and ever is uppermost in the minds of trae sports- men. Mr. J. W. Harper of Suisun, and Mr. G. W. Watson, in- terested in the California Kennels at Sacramento, called at this office on Monday. The first named gentleman's young dog Pierre by Harrold out of Snnlit is being handled by Mr. J. T. Allender for the field trials, which occur January 19ih. The latter reports his fine lot of Eoglish 8etters to be in splendid condition. Sunlit and others will be on hand for the above mentioned events which promises to surpass in point of interest all previous field trials on the coast. The Central Field Trials Association offer a special prize of $100 for Gordon Setters, providing there are ten entries and eight starters at Lexington, N. C, in December. The Gordon Setter has beeD eminently successful as a bench dog, and there seems to be no good reason why he shonld not meas- ure up with the best of dogs in the field. It is to be hoped that a good trial will be marie of his qualities in this respect this year, although we would not be understood as saying that he has not already shown most excellent qualities as a field dog. The Irish Setter dog, Dick Swiveler. (8410) is now a cham- pion of record, having won his third first in the challenge class at London, OnUrio last month. He was bred by Mr. W. H. Child, Philadelphia, Pa., and is by Champion Bruce ■— Leigh Doaue II, by Champion Elcho — Rose. Champion Bruce is by Champion E'cbo— Champion Moreen. This dog has appeared all over the States, in the leading shows and has everywhere been admired for his superior Btyle and quality. Mr. George H. Covert proprietor of the Killarney Kennels and owner of Dick Swiveler, is to be con- gratulated on the success accredited this splendid animal, In this enlightened day, it would seem to be needless in the extreme to mention the fact that in handling animals one should avoid extreme measures in training. I would not own or nandle a dog whioh would require a resort to severe measures and treatment in order to control him. With such a dog there is something essential lacking, a blemi3h in breeding, or rather an unhappy combination of traits of character, which it ia needless to attempt to overcome or comb it. A well bred dog can invariably be handled by kind and patient treatment. A trainer who re3orts to severe methods is apt to do more harm to a good animal than good. Kindness is repaid a hundredfold. Lat harsh measures be set aside by all who would accomplish the best results in handling and training, not only dogs, but good animals of every kind as well. The English Setter Club wil' hold a meeting October 23, at the office of the Secretary, Mr. P. C. Ohl, 50 Broadway, "For the consideration and adoption of a standard, and the transaction of any other business that may come before it." It is a matter of vital importance to all breeders of English Setters and tbey shonld not fail to be present if possible, or if this be inexpedient, it would be feasible and of the first im- portance that they communicate their views to the secretary that they may be placed bef jre the Club for consideration relative to the many questions of interest whioh will come before it for adjudication. Much of division and discussion which arises in clubs, arises from the facts which might have been avoided by a fair eooseosus of opinion being stated at the formation of the clubs as to a just standard. The secretary states that all communications will receive due and fnll attention and in all oa-ies where members cannot attend they will be allowed to vote by proxy. At the instance of Mr. J. M. Larne, Secretary of the San Joeqoin Valley Agricultural Association, aided by Messrs. I. D. Holden, J. E Doab and Dr A. C. Davenport the first bench show ever held at Stockton occurred on last Friday and Saturday. It was a very successful undertaking, con- sidering the circumstances. The sportsmen of Stockton alone, entered forly-oue more than average dogs, and thus evidenced the fact that they are well up as dog fanciers. The Cocker spaniels are spoken of as being an exceptionally fine exhibit. Mr. J. E. Doak's Tasso took the first prize, while Dr. A. 0. Davenports' spaniels had little or no competition in their olass. Saladin, an English setter is said to have been the finest dog in the show. He U owned by Mr. J. S Dunham. Mr. H. H. Briggs, of this citv, judged all classes to the entire sat- isfaction of all interested. This interesting feature is promised in connection with each annual recurrence of the Stockton Fair.

Gun Raffle. Louis Goldhammer of Bay Station, Alameda, is practicing very diligently for the coming shoot of bis club, the lode* pendent Rifles, which will come off on Sitorday, October 18. Mr. Goldhammer is going to purchase one of the very latest improved Winchester rifles, and the gun whioh he has used to such good advantage for mouths past he will rafrle off at his place, the Bay Station Grocery Store, on Oct. 11. The tickets will be fifty cents each, and as all the loading tools will be inoluded with the rifle the lucky winner will receive good value for his small investment. The Country Club. The Champion Amateur of America Beaten hy a JLocal Expert. Plan for State Bine Tournament. Tulare Cal., Out. 4, 1890 Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — In a recent issue of au Eastern spotting j unal a yerv interesting article appears, written by a prominent New Jersey rifleman, that I tuink is worthy of much thought and considera.ion by the rifle fra- ternity on this coast. Among other things, he suggests the best way, I think, in which to conduct tournaments so as to insure priza lists that would draw large crowds and at the same time not run a club "into a hole." HiB plan was, in brief, to form a Tournameot Association by consolidating the strength of the most aciive rifle clubs of the State and hold a big shoot, open to all conjee, on one or another of the Schutzen ranges, once or twice a year, each club to oon tribute to the guarantee fund a giv«n amount, the aggregate to be sufficient to cover all necessary expenses Say ten clubs were affiliated by paying in $250 tach, a $25 piize list could be arranged and the advantage would be that as each club wonld have a financial interest in the outcome of the affair, each and every member could be depended up- on to work bard for it$ success. If a failure financially — which is a remote possibility — tbe amount lost by each club would be a mere bagatelle, as even if the total shortage was $300 on a shoot, it would be but $30 for eaoh club, whereas it would be a very lar e sum for any one club to lose. The plan 1b one that is to be commended, and there is no doubt that the best clubs in this Slate would be willing to join a Rifle League of this character. We have some of the finest riflemen in the country on this ooast and I would like to see the abuve plan carried out, the advantages of which cannot be over-est'inated by far seeing riflemen . Something of that kind would awaken au interest in rifle practice on this ooast that has not been felt for years. I wculd like to hear from the tiflemen on the subject and would like to see a call issued for a meeting, to be held by delegates from various clubs at an early date, when it is hoped that a good start may be made toward the formation of a league. If the riflemen will come to the front and put their shoulders to the wheel we will have an asso- ciation in California that will not only be a credit to itself, bnt to the State also. Let every one come to the front and freely discuss this subject. I will do all in my power to fur- ther the interests of our association of this kind. Yours fiaternially, Geo. B Fairbanks. Capt. Tulare Gun Club. We heartily approve of Captain Fairbanks suggestion, and truBt that the matter will receive the prompt attention and co-operation of the riflemen on tbe coast, to the end that such an association may be formed. It would prove of sur- passing interest to all riflemen. Antidote for Snake Poison. The Kern County Californian of last week records the fol- lowing remarkable fact, which it would be worth while for all to remember. "A sonof J. P. K. Cox, who lives near San Eooigdio, while hunting with another boy on Wednesday of last week, was bitten on the leg by a rattlesoake He was several miles from home and assistance wai impossible; but he rose to tbe oc- casion nnd manifested a remarkable degree of courage and resource for a boy only ten years of age. He remembered to have heard his father sav that raw meat applied to the place bitten would draw out the poison. So he made incisions above and below the bite, which he accomplished with diffi- culty with a dull knife and applied a quail which be bad cut open. Fortunately he had with him several of these birds that he had shot. He wa3 very sick for a time, bnt the ap- plication was successful. The raw flesh drew out or ab- sorbed the poison and in a few days he was well, There are many instances on record of the bites of these venomous rep- tiles having been cured by the application of raw flesh and it ia probably the best remedy known. A piece of the snake itself, if the viotim is fortunate enongh lo kill it, is said to be peculiarly effective. The argnnauts found the native Califor- nia's in possession of a plant tbat was an infallible remedy, and we have noticed it in this vicinity. It has a spicy, pun- gent, but not unpleasant taste, and has intoxicating, narcotic properties in a high degree. It is administered if circum- stances admit, in the form of a decoclion, aDd some of tbe plant pounded and moistened is applied to the bite. Its ad- ministration either to man or the domestic animals is fol- lowed by prolonged sleep " On last Thursday evening, as the ferry boat was crossing the bay from tbisoity to San Rafael, and while out near the center of the bay, a covey of about fifteen quail flew on the boat, alighting on the rear deck for the moment, entirely ignoring tbe presence of tbe crowd of passengers. Two of tbe birds were caught, and the ba'auce fell into the water, where they were immediately pounced upon by the sea gulls. It was a singular freak for them to thus be raught in thiB strange and unnatural predioament, and illustrates that in- Btinct is not always infallible. Tbe Country Club passed Tuesday at Oakland Trotting Park, over the traps. Mr. Charles Macalester of Philadelphia was tbe guest of the Club and the meeting was arranged by President F. K. WebBter in his honor. The dny was perfect, the birds very good and the company just of that temper which makes trap shootins enjoyable. An eloborate luncheon was sent over from the Pacific Union Club to which ample josticB was done at noon. The guest of the day Mr. Macalester proved himself a pre- mier shot. His position is excellent. He stands erect, with legs spread a Utile. The right foot nearly behind tbe left and a toot d'stant, so that he can swing on a right quartering bird easily. His gnu is thrown at once to position when he steps to the score, without sighting. After the word "pull" the utmost quickness oharaoterzes his shooting but such In the smo thneas ani ease of all motions th it he actually seems slow. After several matches bad been shot, it was proposed tbat Mr. Fred L Wooster of the CInb should shoot a match with Mr. Micdester. The nutoh was a surprise. It was known that Fred Wooster was a very fine shot, but that he could win against such an expert as Macale6ter was not believed. However be did so in fine style, killing thirty four of his thirty-five birds, while MaCdlester missed two. Fred bore his honors msekly as was right, and M.calester did not eeem in the least annoyed. The shooting done by President Webster, R. B. Wood- ward, Fred Wooster, Harry Babcock, Captain R. A. Eddy and others throughout the day was excellent, particularly at quick birds.

By Charles Lancaster, gunmaker. Second edition now ready. An Illustrated treatlBe on the art of shooting, with extracts from the best authorities, containing full-page explauatory llluntrationfi, sketched from instantaneous and other photographs. Price, ?**, 6d postage, 6d extra. Published by Charles Lancaster, 151 New Bond Streel London, W. 342 %ht JQxzz&zt and j^ptfrisroaw Oct 11 Singular, isn't it, that the Californian who is the crack chicken and game shot in the held is something of a Chick himself? Reports from Navato state that quail are qnile plentiful in that region, with a greater abundance of large game in the hills of that vicinity than is usual at this season of the year. The hunters of that vicinity are reported as being for some cause, inactive this season, and the game consequently is more numeroas. The Haywards Journal states that Messrs. F. F. Allen, J. D. Smalley, Charles Allen and JXark Templetun have recent- ly returned from a hunting trip in the Jlonterey mountains. They report deer as being very plentiful, and judging from their bag of sixteen, they must have been found in numbers to have rendered their hunt exceedingly pleasant. Judging from tho account given these gentlemen must have had an unusually pleasant outing. In the endeavor to es'ablish interesting and profitable gun clnbs, the admiration for "craok shots" should not be car- ried too far. The stability of most clubs must be attained by interesting the average shot. It is to bring up the average of the skill of ail of Us members that the club should most earnestly work for. To this end let it be so arranged, by classification of its members contending for prizes, so that the poorer shots will not have to contend with the well nigh perfect ones. In racing courses the prizes are divided; the contestants classified according to speed; the interest could not otherwise be kept up. Why not apply this rule more systematically in shooting tournaments. It would, beyond question tend to enhance the general interest, of the club members contesting, and thrs insure a greater interest on the part of the public. ROD. Report of Fish Commission. In the absence of a meeting by the Board of Fish Commis- sioners, which was to have been held on Tuesday the 7th in- stant, we present the report of Mr Callundan, the Cbief of Patrol for September. It reads as follows: San Fkancisco, Cal., Sept. 30, 1890. The Honorable, ike Board of Fish Commissioners: — Gentlemen: The month just passed has been one of great activity on the part of your deputies by reason of the fact that the taking of salmon is prohibited during that time. It is with pleasure that I am enabled to report that freBh salmon has not been exposed for sale in the markets of San Francisco, Sacramento or S ockton during the month. The lack of a suitable steam launch has made it difficult to cover the salmon 6shing waters perfectly, but by visiting the shipping stations at intervale, we have been satisfied that no fishing was beng done. On September 3d and succeeding days, in company with a deputy, the whole of the San Jaoquin River was traversed. Each of the landing places of the steamers was inspected. At all of them many fishermen were found, all of them idle, with their boats out of the water being overhauled and painted, and their nets in lite condition. September 10th was spent with President Rentier making a close inspection of the San Francisco markets. Several oomplaints that salmon was being sold had been filed, bnt in each case investigation showed that the fish were eea bass, which to the unskilled eye are not unl ke salmon. No sal- mon were found. The 12th to the 14th inclusive were passed on the Sacra- mento River. There things were in the same condition as on the San Joaquin, no fishing being done, although the river was full of salmon. September 19th to 23rd inclusive were spent in and about Sacramento by direction of President Routier. Regular morning visits were made to the markets and fishing stations without detecting anyone in illegal ac's. Deputy Ennes as- sisted during the time. On the 17th was sent to Marysville to assist in the prosecu- tion of Martin Casey for having salmon in possession during the close season. Upon application of Attorney W, G. Murphy for the defence, a continuance was granted by Judge Garber until October 29th, City Attorney Wallace Densmore not objecting. The case is one of peculiar interest, Bince upon it hinges the right to Btore salmon in cold storage during the open season and deal them out during September. Respectfully submitted, T. P. Callundan, Chief of Patrol. Biennial Report of Fish Commission. Mr. J. G. Woodbury, Superintendent of Hatcheries of the Fish Commission, is now about completing his biennial report, which will in a few days go into the hands of the printer. It will contain much valuable information rela- tive to the subject of rJBh culture. Mr. Woodbury has spent much time and labor on the subject, and no one is more able to treat the qaestion than he. The subject is one of those touching econimica which is of leading importance. Fish is about the ouly species of property in which the pub- lio have an absolute community of interest that is Busceplible of practical encouragement, culture and development. As an article of daily consumption, they form no inconsiderable portion of the food supply of the masses, in addition to furnishing the finest and most healthful of recreations in their oapture. The streams of this State afford the very best of opportunities for a practical application of all poesible sug- gestions that the experience and knowledge of those who have made the subject a matter of special investigation may suggest. The labors of the commission have been and still are being carried on under very great and obviouB difficul- ties which it i« to be hoped future legislation will be prompt to remedy. The placing of this work on a firm aud solid basis in proportion to the importance of the subject, is a matter of general importance, and should in no wise be over- looked. It is a work of the first and most practical means of philanthropy far reaching in its etfeote. Let all who have the public weal at heart lend their active support in develop- ing this department. Mr. A. W. Ingoldsbe. the active and efficient Secretary of the Santa Clara Gun Club, is lending serviceable aid in the enforcement of the game laws of that district. We tiust that all sportsmen will make it a point to interest themselves in these matters and lend all assistance possible to the State authorities in seeing that the laws are enforced, and the game and fish promoted, Wanton Lawl6Esnees. The Marysville Democrat says: "There are persons north of here along the Sacramento river who are reported as violators of the law for the protec- tion of fish, and tbe matter is to be looked after, and if as stated, there will be arreBts made. Near the lower Soda Springs one A. F. George has a saw mill running, and dumps the sawdust into the Sacramento river in violation of the law. There are traps in the riyer for catching fish at a point a mile below Delta, and about the same distance on tbe other side. Also traps just below tnnntl No. 9, this side of Red- ding. There have been some violations by using giant pow- der cartridges in the vicinity of Dunsmuir, but tbe citizens up there at present have put a stop to that. The use of traps for fishing is prohibited as well as explosives, and it seems strange that men will xiersist in a violation of the law." We sincerely trust that all violators may be brought to justioe and fined roundly for each and every offense in this regard, until the sinners will be made to understand "that the way of the transgressor is hard." A Mackerel With a Waist. It is certainly a curious coincidence what you mentioned with regard to tbe above. I have never seen a fish with a band further down the body than just behind the gills, and this I accounted for probably by the fiBh rising at a lost india rubber band and getting it over its nose, and then, as is the usual custom with fish to scour themselves on the bottom against tbe gravel or sand, tbe band gradually gets worked back behind the gill covers. I have a trout in my possession that was caught by Mr. C. O. Clark, a well known sportsman in this district, which had an india-rubber band tight aruund its head and underneath the gill covers. It waB illustrated in your contemporary, Land and Water, of May 6th, 1S82, as the shape of the head was very much altered. The fish was in splendid condition when caught with the fly, and I should rather think that these fish took the band in the wa- ter for a bait, and somehow or other got their nose through it. and with constant rubbing got it back over their body. — William Heaeder, in the Fishing Gazette. The investigation by the Senate of the United States Fish Commission bas been closed. The result of their labors is presented in a volume of some 600 pages of printed matter setting forth exhaustive testimony on all of the complaints and charges preferred against the CommiBcion. These seem to have been principally confined to the charges of nepotism and the use of official position to advai ce private interests at the public expense. While the report of the committee has not as yet been made officially, yet it is understood from reliable sources, tbat \he investigation bas resulted in the complete vindication of the Fish Commission in all respects, the testimony tending to show that the interests of the pub- lic have been kept steadily in view and the duties of the Commission faithfully and honeBtly discharged. It is well that the investigation has been made, although prompted by persons with envious motives. It will r« suit in a reaction of feeling in favor of this important branch of the public ser- vice and thus strengthen and as&ist the work. For Sale.

Annual Meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Association. Fair WeaMier and Splendid Track—Every Indication Favorable (or Kecord Breaking— tiood Attend- ance and Interest. The Second Annual Meeting of the Breeders' Association was commenced at Napa on last Saturday, Oot. 11th. From the entry list in the different stakes and purses there was every indication that a very succeHBiul gathering of the horse breeders of California wonld be held, and those who have the best iuterests of the Association at heart were not disap- pointed for representative men from all portions of the State were congregated at the Napa Course on the opening day. The weather was not as propitious as might have been ex- pected at this season of the year, the sky beiDg overcast and a cold wind blowing from the south, making light overcoats necessary for personal comfort. Ic the early morning the track was well filled with horses that were receiving preparatory work and the onlookers were kept busy olicking off their watches as they tried to keep '"tab" on favorites, quarters, halves and miles being timed in rapid succession. John Goldsmith had one of the Sable Wilkes yearlings out, one quarter being completed in 37 sec- onds; the old favorite Andy McDowell pushed Direct a quar- ter on the home stretch in 32 seconds, and the little black was seemingly as good as ever. Margaret S. was given a couple of miles while Dave Young of Stockton sent along a two year old at a spanking clip. Lee Shaner had Sidena out for an airing and later gave Capt. B E. Harris' SLarlight a smart brush. "Dick" Havey of Palo Alto Stock Farm was ont with quite a number of his string, Electricity being es- pecially admired for his work. Wm. Vioget, trainer and driver for the La Siesta Farm, worked Wanda and Maggie E. slowly, but Tom Keating of Reno sent Frank M. along at better than a "twenty-five" gait. The black coated Silas Bkinner gave the spectators a slight exhibition of his ability to go fast and was accompanied a short distance by George Eneier who was driving the pacer Princess Alice. Redwood moved along very well, Tom Murphy not extending the stal- lion very rapidly. The veteran driver, A. L. Hinds, jogged Balkan in an easy manner, the grand looking son of Mam- brinu Wilkes ahowing an inclination for slow work owing to . an ailing leg, J. L. McCord was content with giving Ned Winslow one fafct quarter, the mile being completed in very ordinary time for him. Peter Wood was seen brushing with . El Benton, the young Electioneer stallion so highly valued ■ by the Souther Farm folks. Turn Smith of Vallejo showed • off to advantage behind George Washington, a magnificent ■bay stallion by Mambrino Chief. Jr. The mare Emma ' Temple waB sent for a fairly good mile and Charley David's •warmed up Gold Medal, the bay gelding pleesitg his admir- ers greatly. Scores of others were noticed but lack ot space .prevents a detailed account of the many seen trotting and pacing up and down the stretches. Ab high noon was reached the sun burst through the clouds and the prospects for a splendid afternoon was as- sured. Ab the time set for the races approached, carriages began to roll into the mammoth enclosure and the many pub. He hacks and busses engaged in transposing passengers from town were kept busy in bringing out the race goers who had congregated to witness the speed contests. The directors of the association weie present in full force, with the exception of Mr. Valensin, who ib at present in the ast. All of the minor details had been carefully attended each of the committees oarrying out their duties to the letter. At the hour appointed, J. fl. White, of Lakeville, F. W. Loeber of St. Helena and Wilfred Page, of Penn'B Grove, ascended the stairs to the judges' stand, Mr. Page having been selected to act as starting judge. The timers appointed were Hon. F. L. Coombs of Napa, Wm. Hendrick- Bon of Sicramento and H. W. Meek of San Leandro. The bell was tapped for the first event of the meeting which was a special given by the association in place of the free-for-all pacing race, the latter having to be declared off owing to Al- moin Patchen being withdrawn. The entries for the special were Mary Lou, driven by J. L. McCord; Maggie E. bandied by Wm. Vioget and Emma Temple who was piloted by Lee Shaner. The bettors who surrounded the pool box at once made Emma Temple a favorite, she selling for $30, Mary Lou $12 and Maggie E. $10. In the mutoals Temple sold against the field, but daring the early portion of the day the selling was not lively. When the word was given Emma Temple was sent to the front and led to the turn with Mary Lou lapped on her wheel, Maggie E, not relishing the speed of the leaders, laying a mile and a half behind. These rela- tive positions were maintained until the quarter pole was reached at which point the head of Mary Lou showed in front and kept there for two hundred feet, when Maggie was brought up and at the half the trio were on even terms. For a moment or two Maggie had her nose in front, Temple fall ing behind, and although Shaner had had the pole, he pulled the mare to the outside and made a drive for the leaders, catching up with them as they all rounded into the home- stretch. Down the straight the three came head and head with no perceptable advantage to any of them. Gradually Mary Lou crept ahead, and at the draw gate she was a short head to the good, Maggie E. and Temple nose and nose. As they passed under the wire, the judges saw the nose of Mary Lou first, Maggie E. second and Emma Temple third, not more than a head separating the entire three. Time, 2:21. The second heat saw an increased interfst taken in the pool box, the talent taking a fancy that Maggie was showing in better form than her two competitors, so the La Siesta entry was made choice ac $25, Emma Temple $20, and the winner of the first heat sold at $18 When they started after several false scores, Temple at once went to the fore, and at the turn led by half a length. When the middle of the turn was reached Mary Lou made a spurt, and in short order was a length in front of Temple, the same distance separating the latter faom Maggie E. From the quarter Temple moved up, and at the three-eighths pole she was on even terms with Mary Lou. When the half was reached Maggie was brought up until no daylight separated them. Around the turn the three kept together, all of the drivers doing their utmost to g6t to the front. On turning into the stretch Maggie was half a length ahead, the others lapped on her wheel. As they came down the stretch, Mary Lou showed an extra burst of speed and headed the leader, ultimately winning the beat by half a length from Emma Temple, Maggie E. laBt. Time, 2:21£. Ab a natural consequence, Mary Lou was now made a pro- nounced favorite, Mr. McCord's mare selling for $25, while the held brought $12. A change was made with Emma Temple, Lee Shaner giving op the reinB to Andy McDowell. When the word was given Temple had half a length the best of the send off, which was taken advantage of by McDowell, for by the time he reached the turn there was a full length between Temple and Maggie E., the favorite being last. By the time the leader touched the three eighths post, Maggie, who at tha time was lapped on her wheel, made a break and fell behind, Mary Lou pass- ing up to second place. From here out the positions were unchanged, Emma Temple winning by two lengths from Mary Loo, Maggie E. a fairly good third. Time, 2:21J. The fourth beat proved to be the laBt one of the raoe. Vioget, the driver of Maggie E., was 27 pounds overweight, bo it was deemed expedient to make a change, and Goldsmith was seen behind the mare in this heat. Temple had a trifling advantage when the start was effect- ed, and Andy improved his chance by giving the mare her head, and at the quarter she was four lengths to the good. As the three trotted up the back stretch, Maggie and Mary gradually improved, their positions having gained inch by inch on the leader. On the upper turn Emma lost her fee1 and made a stand-still break, the other two passing her quickly, and before she caught her stride the daughter of Jackson Temple was twenty lengths behind. Goldsmith made a bold bid for the leadership, but Mary Lou had too much speed, for when given her head she won by Bix lengths from Maggie in 2:22|. SUMMARY. J. C.

A. Goldsmith brought out Stamboul 2:12}, the announce- ment being made from the stand that the great son of Sultan would be driven to try and accomplish the task of beating his record. By the time the stallion was ready for his al. loted task, the wind was blowing very strongly and it was generally acknowledged by the knowing ones that the horse had a difficult job of accomplishment, yet there was hardly any one present but what was anxious to see the noble ani- mal lower his mark. Stambonl hardly looked up to form, his skin was too dry, and he did not sweat oat properly, yet with all the drawbacks he finished a wonderful mile. After scoring several times, Goldsmith nodded for the word, having as company McDowell who waB "teasing" with Little Jug (a full brother to Little Brown Jug 2:114). The quarters were rated well, but there was too much to combat against, it the three-eightha pole Stambonl broke but oaught very readily, losing very little by his behavior. Al- though every exertion was used, the Bon ^of Sultan coold only compass the distance in 2:134. summary. Time 1 W S. Hobart'B b b Stcmboul hy Hambletoniau 10 2 Time, 0:323, 1:06, 1:88}, 2.134. The track waB in superb condition, which accounted for some of the fast time that was made by the horses, and every credit ia due the Directors of the Napa Association for the splendid condition in which the course was turned over to the Society. The Breeder's Standard is the new method adopted by the National Association of Trotting Horse Breeders to enable owners to secure records for green horBes, and by many it was supposed that the innovation would prove acceptable to those who have always placed their faces resolutely against "tin cup records," or, to be more explicit, records made against the watch. The Pacific CoiBt Association fell into line and announced that one of these new stakes would be trotted each day during the meeting. For the first day Palo Alto entered Laura 0., the San Mateo Stock Farm namitg Anita, and the Nutwood Stock Farm Maud C. Twenty dol- lars each were paid into the Association by those making entries, and it was stipulated that one-half of the amount paid in should be returned to the ouemakigg the fastest heat. There was bat little time continued in scoring, aud when the word was given, a very even start was the reBult. Laura C. proved the victor in the first beat, and, according to the rules, was sent to the stable, Bhe having made arecord <.f 2:2!V1. 350 £ptc ISrccttcr arid jlnortsmau. Oct. 18 The first attempt saw the remaining pair sent away, Maud C. cutting away at a remarkable pace, the first heat having evidently sharpened her up a bit. She was never headed in the heat, winning in 2:27. After the conclusion of the second heat, Mr. Corbitt announced to the judges that, owing to shortness of work, he wanted to withdraw Anita, and that he would start her in a like race later on in the meeting. The breeding of the two mareB that made records is as follows: Maud C. by California Kutwood, dam by Steinway; 2d dam Fanny Malone by Niagara, Fanny Malone being also the grandani of Chas. Derby, 2:24]. Laura C. by Electioneer, ditm Fanny Lewis by imp. Buckden. The 2:22 class for trotterB was productive of much interest, ds the two great geldings, Homestake and Frank M., were starters, and the supporters of each were confident their par- ticular favorite could beat the other. Those who fancied Homestake as the winner made him first choice at $25, Frank M. selling for $18, while the field sold for $5. Each of the drivers tried for an advantage, and there was repeated scoring before Slarter Page sent the quartette off on their mission, Kedwood having two lengths the worst of it. McDowell had so much confidence in Homesfake that he gave the gelding his head, and the quarter was negotiated in 33i seconds, but even with this speed the only mare in the race was sticking close to him, and the pair reached the half in 1:06 .£, although the official time was announced as 1:06$. This clip was too much for Homestake, who left his feet, and for a few seconds Wanda held the lead, but it was of shorj duration, as Frank M., who was going very steady, soon passed the daughter of Eros, the exertion on the first half having pumped the mare out. Around the turn Frank led by two lengths, Wanda seoond, Redwood third and Home- stake twenty lengths in the rear. When the latter reached the middle of the turn he broke a second time, and McDowell let him run in a style that, as far as speed is concerned, would have done credit to Firenzi. Frank M. won an easy heat in 2:19A, the positions on the outcome being aB given above, Homestake being jost inside the distance flag, although he rau all the way from the three-quarter pole. Frank M. was now supported as favorite, stilllota of Home, stake money was forthcoming on his chances, and when the horses came to the wire for the second heat, he had again been installed as first choice. The second heat Bhowed that Homestake could trot when he kept steady, as he was lead- ing on the turn, Frank M. having made a break shortly after leaving the wire. Homestake was never headed in the heat, Wanda again getting seoond place, Frank M. third and Red- wood distanced. Time, 2:20f. For the third heat Homestake sold at $25, the Field selling for $12, and the latter was eagerly nibbled at by many who were willing lo pin their faith to the well known gameness of Frank M. But the fates and Homestake were against any chance that the Keating horse might have had, for the best he could do was to gain second place to Mr. Salisbury's horse who won in 2:19£. The lest heat was postponed until Monday morniDg, bat to keep the races in regular order the description of ii is given here. On Saturday evening the shoes were taken off Frank M., his feet being in a frightful condition from the effects of the hard campaign that he has passed through this season. Poultices were applied with beneficial effects and on Monday he came out looking much better than he did on Saturday. The fine appearance of Frank caused the shortenders to buy him up greedily at $12, especially as Wanda was thrown in for nothing. The Home- stake people felt they had a good thing and showered in their money at $25 for the amount given for the field. The two geldings were sent off together with Wanda two lengths be. hind. The black and the bay kept head and head to the middle of the first turn where Frank broke and fell behind, Wanda taking second place. At the quarter Homestake led by two lengths from Wanda, with Frank M. sis lengths fur- ther back. After the black fairly settled and regained his natural stride, the gap was speedily reduced, and as Wanda broke at the three-eighths, was soon in second place. At the entrance to the upper turn only a length and a half separated the pair, both going very steadily. On entering the stretch Keating sent Frank M. along at a fearful clip and it looked any one's race but the sore feet played sad havoc with Frank and he made a second break, virtually giving the son of Gibralter the race and heat, but to win Andy was compelled to let Homestake have his head as be has a decided inclination to break when taken back. When Ihe time 2:15 J was hung out, the audience applauded liberally, and the bacberB of Homestake were happy. SUMMARY. Napa, Oct, lltb and 13th. 2:22claas trotting; purse $1,500.

After the Electricity mile, the three year old stake for trotters was announced, but again there was only one starter as the champion three yeor old colt of 1S90 evidently frightened out the balance of the entries, and he travelled the distance for the money paid in by the sub- scribers, which must have amounted to a goodly sum, as the stake was one of the first opened by the Association this year. The yonng bay stallion was hardly as good as he was at Fresno, jet still he had a world of speed, and after a hard drive, finished very fresh, the quarters being Z3i, 1:09, 1:44£> 2:18|. This was not within three-quarters of a second of his record, yet still there was an amount of reserve that con- vinced the bystanders that this eon of Guy Wilkes can beat hii present mark when called upon for a supreme effort. Another of the stakes which closed early in the season was the 2:30 class for stallions eligible to the class named, the starters being Balkan, Silas Skinner and George Wash- ington. In the pools Silas Skinner sold as first choice at $o0 while the field sold for $9. After several ineffectual attempts, the word was given to a fairly even start, and the three were on an equality when the trio entered the backstretch, bat when well on their way up the straight the head and shoulders of Skinner showed jQ front, and at the three-eighths pole the leader made a slight skip and gained two lengths, Washington being sec- ond and Balkan still another length behind the middle horse. Smith behind Washington made a drive for the favorite, and on rounding into the turn there wjs only one length separating the pair, the bay stallion shewing a tenacity of purpose that waa delightful to those who had specu- lated on the short end. At the middle of the turn Balkan was four lengths to the bad, bat going in a good, steady manner. Down the homestretch Skinner and Washington I came in perfect ding-dong fashion, and the hopes of the short end pool buyers were elevated to a high degree as the favor ite broke at the seven-eighth pole, but almost in the same ■instant Washington went up and the "fielders" were corres- pondingly depressed. Skinner caught first and passed under the wire a winner by two lengths, Balkan six lengths behind Washington. Time, 2:2U. The betting fraternity made a rush for the bos, as a ramor had gained currency that Washington could put the nest three heats in about ''twenty," but the Skinner people kept their horse as first choice at $25, the field selling at $9. Again a good send off was made, and now it was discovered that John Goldsmith was up behind Washington. On enter- ing the first turn Balkan fell behind, Hinds evidently intend, ing to reserve his stallion in event of split heat, so the fight was left to the other two. On the backstretoh Skinner broke and fell behind, but ran so determinedly that he carried Washington off his feet. When the pair settled. Skinner was ten lengths to the good of Washington, Balkan two lengths further behind. Goldsmith urged Washington forward, and slowly closed on Skinner until only three lengths separated them. As they came down the straight the heat was virtu, ally over, as Skinner came with his full speed, winniDg by four lengths from Washington, the same distance separating the second and third horses. Time, 2:20J. For the next heat tbe betting was very light at $20 for Skinner to $5 on the field. On the fourth attempt the word was given, Washington and Skinner cutting out the pace. Hinds drawing Balkan in be- hind the pole horse. The quarter was reached in 35 seconds, with Washington and Skinner noBe and noBe. When welj into the baok stretch, Skinrer broke and WnBhiugton took the lead by a length, which was quickly cat down to even terms when Skinner settled. Tbe two travelled like a double teem to the turn when Skinner again broke, but caught with little difficulty, and again the battle royal was renewed. Down the home stretch the pair came at a twenty gait. Skin- ner winning by half a length, Washington second, Balkan well inside the flag. The judges had appointed Director | Tompkins a patrol judge to report on the actions of Skinner , as he has a peculiar running motion behind, while trotting fairly with his front legs. After listening to the report from Mr. Tompkins and taking jnto consideration the two breaks, decided in favor of Wash- ington, placing Balkan seoond and Skinner third. Time, 2:20. The result was received by oheers and applause by those holding short end tickets. The fourth and last heat of the stallion race drew the on- divided attention of the audience, as great local interest was manifested in ths result, Skinner being a Santa Rosa owned horse, while Washington is owned in Vallejo. On tne fifth score the word was given, the two fast ones again looking horns, with Balkan trailing. Skinner kept up his skip Jack motion, alternating it with good square trotting, The fight was between Skinner and Washington, Balkan being out of the contest, owing to an ailing leg, Mr. Hinds, the driver, asked permission to withdraw his horse after tbe third heat, but his request was refused. As the leaders turned into tbe home stretch, Skinner led by a length, Washington crawling up inoh by inch until within a few feet of the wire, when \ he broke, leaving victory with Skinner.

The morning opened up bright and beautiful, but a heavy wind was blowing quite fiercely from the northwest, and there was not much chance for fast time. The attendance was small, the sport warranting crowded stands, but only a beggarly array of empty benches were discernable from the stand on the opposite Bide of the track. Four events were on the programme, the first of which was the $500 purse, for three-year-olds. Only two of the many entties came out to start: Lynette, owned by U. S. Gregory of lone, and Lot- tery Ticket, the property of L. Funk of Farmington, San Joaquin county. In the pools Lottery ticket was the favor- ite at $20 to $9 for Lynette, and at this rate a large sum went into the box. In drawing for position, Lottery Ticket failed to win the prize as usual, Lynette taking the pole. The Farmington horse acted very unruly, and broke fi?e times, each of these causing him to lose ground, and Lynette had no trouble in winning easy, the lime being 2;3I|. After the heat was trotted, the owner of Lynette claimed tbe race on the ground that the Judges had the discretionary power to distance a horse breakiog four or more times. After consultation, tbe claim was disallowed, and Lottery Ticket given second place. Before the second heat, Lottery Tioket 9old at $25 Lynette selling for $5, the backers of the favorite having every confi- dence in the ability of the colt to beat the filly. When tbe word was given, Lottery Ticket took tbe lead; and was not headed, Lynette acting as badly in this one as did Lottery Ticket in the former. Coming down the stretch Dastin eased up on the colt, and almost walked under the wire in 2:41*. For the third heat of Ihe colt puree, no pools were sold, the race being considered all over but the shouting. It was only an exercising jog for Lottery Ticket who took the leid and was never headed, Lynette again acting badly. Time, 2; 38. The fourth and last heat was similar to the last two. Lot- tery Ticket winning easily in 2:29. SUMMARY. Nooilnationpu.se for three year old trot ten, Napa October 14th ?500. L, Funk's b c Lottery Ticket by Dexter Trince, dam Emma by Nutwood 2 V. S.

On the fifth attempt the word was given to a very even start, bat just as the four reached the turn Hazel Wilkes made a bad break and fell a dczen lengths behind, Home- stake leading by a head from Maggie E. When Hazel Wilkes settled Goldsmith brought her gradually up and on the up. ! per turn was only two lengths behind- the leader. Mrggie E. 1 in the meactime fcad made a disastrous breakand was almost a distance fcefcind. The first and second choices made a good ' tight down the stretch but Homestake had an easy heat in 2:1S, Hazel four lergtbs behind, Emma Temple well in and Maggie E only just within the distance flag. The second heat of the 2 ;20 class was again productive of I good betting, Homestake telling for $25, Hazel Wilkes §21. ; and the field $3. i Again a good start was made, but Goldsmith did not nrge the mare around (he first turn, where Homestake led by a length and a half. When the backstretch was reached Andy . let out Homestake and was scon leading by half a dozen lengths. Again Goldsmith pursued the same tactics as be- fore, closing up the gap slowly but surely. On the upper torn only a length separated the two leaders, but Hazel coold not get any nearer to Homestake, who passed nnder the wire in 2:14^. Hazel Wilkes who was second, was timed in 2.155, Maggie E was third and Emma Temple last. The third heat of the 2:20 class, trotting, saw still another r .change in the betting, Homestake selling for $25 and the field at $16 or $17, with Hazel Wilses now in the field. . When Mr. Page shouted "go" Hazel was three quarters of . a length behind Homestake and on eqnal terms with Emma Temple, Maggie E being head and head with the favorite. At the beginning of the first turn Andy again took a command- I ing lead with Johnny Goldsmith holding back on Hazel, be. ing a little afraid to let the man have her head. On the en- trance to the backstretch she was let ont a link or two, and decreased slightly the lead of four lengths, Maggie E, and 'Temple being on even terms. On the upper turn Hazel still 1 kept creeping np on Homestake until the head of the stretch was reached, when a regular hammer and tongs fight ensued • ibetweenthe two leaders and the crowd stood with bated breath as they came down the straight at a 2:10 gait. There was simply a flash and the pair passed under the wire with Homestake winner by a short head, and the two greatest heats that were ever trotted in California in oue race was a , thing of the past, and those present were willing to acknowl- > edge that the Pleasanton Stock Farm entry had amply veri- fied the predictions of the Breeder a^d Sportsman that there would be sensational performers at the Breeders Meet- ing. But the honor is not entirely due to HomeBtake, for Hazel Wilkes is entitled to great credit for her two grand ■ performances, she forcing the son of Gibraltar to his terrific flapeed. In the last heat she trotted faster than the geldiDg I; tor receiving the worst of the send off she was only beaten by i short head, SUM'UART. { Napa, October llth.-Purse Sl.-'OO; for the2:20 claes trotters.

Prince B. was the avorite at good substantial odds, his Stockton performance proving him to be a good reliable horse. Mattie P. was a fair iecond choice, the Petaluma contingent sticking to her like eeches. The firBt two heatswere eye openers for the Prince B. >eople as Mattie P. won as she liked in 2:27£ and 2:30£. At ■ his stage of the game, complaint wa9 made to the judges hat Prince B. was not being driven to win, and Dastin was : I isked if he would drive the gelding. Before the matter could ie arranged, Mr. Phillips, one of the owners of Prince B. rent into the stand and stated that he would like permission 0 put Goldsmith behind his horse as the other driver had lotified him that he would like some other driver put up. : * ' ?he request was granted and on the horses being called for he third heat "onr John" was holding the ribbons over him. 1 change now occured as Piince B. was taken to the front '_■■ nd never headed during the heat, although Misner behind r* lattie made a determined drive for the first money, trying o finish it in straight heats.

Again a small attendance gathered at the track, notwith- anding the advertised match race between Margaret S. and ■egal Wilkes, and also the announcement that ladies would be M nt ml permitted into the course free. From the time that the match was made, the subject was the main topic of conversation on the street of this beautiful town, and wherever a knot of persons congregated, the respective merits of the two great youngsters were discussed. A number of wagers were laid at the odds of $100 to $60 that the mare wonld beat the three-year-old, yet still there were many who imagined that as Margaret made her record of 2:12£ on a kite-shaped track, and that her best record on an oval coarse was 2:16£, that Regal could hold his own with the now celebrated daughter of Director, and as he already had a record of 2:17£, there was not so very much difference in the speed of the two. The first race on the card for the day was a match for $50 between A. B. Rodman's Patty P. and F. H. Burke's Mari- quita, a friendly rivalry existing in regard to the relative merits of the two mares. The word was given after one false score, but at the turn Patty broke, and from there out she played but little part in the first heat, Mariquita winning in 2:35£. The next two heats were won easily by Patty P. in 2:36 and 2:37. The winner is a daughter of Ricbmont (son of Almont), and is as game a little maie as ever put a foot to ground. With proper care and the necessary amount of work, she should prove a fast trotter. After the match R Havey, on behalf of Palo Alto, brought ont Lauia C. to go a mile against her present record of 2:20£. The wind was too high to permit of fast time, yet she trotted in2:29£, an unusually good mile considering the weather. The unfinished special race of the day before was the next event on the programme, and when the bell rang for the horses to come out, Andy McDowell was found behind Mat- tie P. The change was productive of some good, as the mare drove out Prince B. in 2:24i, which is at present his record. The fifth and deciding heat was won by the favorite, Gold- smith driving him with rare good judgment. The Phillips Bros, have a trotter in Prince B. that Bhould be heard from all over the circuit next year, and we predict for him a low mark. SUMMARY. Napa.

The match was made on Monday night between McDowell and Goldsmith, each representing their respective stables. Wnen the forfeit money was put np, Mr. Salisbury was called upon by McDowell and a committee from the Association, who Btated that if the match could be bought off on;Wednesday they would add $500 to the $1000 each supposed to be put up by the two drivers. The owner of Margaret S. gave full permission to McDowell to do as he pleased, so the match was announced in all the papers that it was possible to reach, but lo and behold on Wednesday morning rumors were rife th-it the mare was lame and that she would not start. When the Directors heard this story for the first time it was a staggerer, as on the night previous McDowell had gone before their meeting and declared that lhe race would positively take place. On Andy being inter- viewed he stated that the story wa3 true and that they had worked on her almost all night in hopes that she would pull around all right. As was only natural, when tbe Btarting Judge made a speeoh expressing the regret of the Directors that the match was now declared of, cries of "fake" and "give us our money back" could be plainly heard from various portions of the ground. Many of the officials felt keenly their position in regard to the matter and it was only the conscientiousness of their innocence that relieved the em- barrassment engendered by the circumstances. A rather Btrange coincidence in connection with the affair was that on the same day one of the events was a walk over for the four year old stake, and Margaret S. was the only one on which the final payment was made. The judges examined the mare's leg and they allowed her to walk over for the entrance money. A special pacing race wa3 now in order, Ned Winslow, Gold Medal and Princess Alice making an appeaiance to fight for the $400 pnrse. Princess Alice was made a strong favorite, and the knowing ones were up to their in what was considered a something. How the talent did sluice in their money, for was it not an air tight bottled up cinch, one of those "morals" which are heard of so often but so seldom run against? To make a long story short and without go- ing into details, Gold Medal was in fine fettle for one mile, while Winslow was keyed up for a long contest, and be- tween the two the favorite never got a heat, Winslow win- ning the second, third and fourth in 2:15, 2.19£, and 2:20, while Gold Medal took the first in 2:17£. Clear and distinct were the mutterings from the Stockton delegation as heat af- ter heat slipped through their fingers. Complaint was laid before tbe judges that George Kneier was incompetent and that tbe driver should be changed. The judges, after listen- ing to tbe argument, denied their right to make a change, and it was only after the third heat that Mr. Patterson con- cluded to put up Goldsmith, but the mare had been pumped in the third heat and was no future use.

The last race of the day was between the two*jear-old8( Almoneer and Sidney Roy.

This pair may come together again on Saturday, when much better time may be expected. THE LOS ANGELES RACES. The Sixth District Agricultural Fair now in Progress. The opening day of the Sixth District Agricultural Fair races opened on Tuesday last. The opening day was all that oould be expected or desired by the management. The weather was propitious and as the day wore on, the indica- tions were that the anticipations of the officers of the Asso_ ciation would be fulfilled. The usnal bustle and commotion attending the opening of so important an event to the horse- men of that district piesaged a splendid outcome for tb. gathering. Long before the first event wa3 announced the grounds presented a lively appearance. The gate-keepers were fairly busy, and the rumble of busses and vehicles of all kind? as they ran to and fro from the grounds, announced that the in- terest of the public in such events had not fallen away. The first event was for the Nursery Stakes. This race was a half-mile dash, for which three horses, Mystery, Zingarella and Sinaloa were entered. After a sharp contest, Mystery won with Zingarella second and Sinaloa third. Time, 0:49. Mystery carried five pounds overweight. Paris mutnals paid $865. The second race of the day was looked forward to with more than the usual interest. It was for the Pomona StakeB, a running race, distance, a mile and one-sixteenth, in which there were two starters, namely Gladiator and Minuet. The race proved fairly interesting and was won by Minuet. Time 1:50}. The Paris mutnals paid S320. The next event was a trotting race for 2:2S class, for a purse of $600, best three in five. In this race there were four starters, nameiy Lucy R., McKinney, Jim Teach and Bashaw. The first heat was won by Jim Teach, McKinney second, Lucy R. third and Bashaw fourth. In the second heat Lucy R showed her metal winning the heat, Jim Teach second, McKinney third, Bashaw being distanced. Lucy R. took the next heat also, with Jim Teach second and McKinney third. In the fourth heat the order was reversed all around, Mc- Kinney taking first, Jim Teach second and Lncy R. third. The race was here postponed on account of darkness, but was fiuiihed on Wednesday, the loth instant, Lucy R. taking the heat and winning the race, Jim Teach second and Mc. Kinney third. summary.

The alten- tendance was much better that on the day previous. In fact crowds of people swarmed through the gates all the morn- ing hourB, and by the time the first event was called the grounds presented an inspiring appearance and the officers of the association were correspondingly nappy. The unfinished 2:2S trotting race was full of interest to all, as the heats bad been so evenly distributed on the day pre- vious that it yet seemed any one*s race. The event closed with a very prettily contested heat, Lucy R. winning the heat and race as above noted. Second race. — The second race was for the Ventura Cup, half-mile heats, for all ages, $200 being added. In this event, three horses came on at the call, being Amazon, Gambo and Comet. It proved to be a very fair race Gambo winning in 0:4SJ, Amazon second, Comet distanced. Third race.— The tbird event was for the Riverside handi. cap, mile and a quarter, all agea, $250 added. In this race were entered Marigold, Rico, and Nncho B, the latter winning in 2:0S$. Fourth race.— The fourth race was for three minute class, and was contested by Orphan Girl, Carrie S., and Sullandin. After some difficulty in starting the trio were given the word and sent away to a fair start, Sullandin winning the heat. Time 2:32}. Darkness coming on the race was postponed. 352 %ht fltefe and Jtyoristtrntt. Oct. 18 Huenerue Park Races. Hueneme is a sweet littie village close by the aea. It does not claim over three hundred inhabitants, bat the farms around the village are so productive and bo numerous, that on a race day fully one thousand people gather around to at- tend the races. Venture County Bhotild be proud of the fast track at this little village of Hueneme. The farms around the place ate well equipped, and the farmers are all interested in well bred and fast horses. Nearly every young colt aroand is either by A. W. Richmond or Wildidle. They ship more grain from the Hneneme wharf than from any other wharf south of San Francisco, and Ventura alone ships more barley than any other coast county. Hueneme has a rich bank, and the efficient and affable cashier, Mayor Gregg and his assistant, Arthur Greenwall, are highly spoken of. The bank building is a credit to the little village. The race track was surveyed and laid out by the most popular jury man of Hueneme, Charles Greenwell. He re- ceived instructions from the Breeder aSd Sportsman, and no one has a doubt but that he has laid out the fastest track in the State. It is a new track, but without hesitancy we claim it to be the fastest track in the State. The soil is elastic, compact and nature made it as even as ground can lay. The turBB have been turned with great care, and the stretches are unexcelled. J. G. Hill, one of the prime movers of the track, is a wealthy, energetic farmer, who looks out, perbaps too zealouB- ly, of his own interests, but he has endeavored to make the Hueneme track the most popular in Sjuthern Calitornia. 5Ir. Hill has a beautiful firm stocked with the finest bred horses, and he has now very promising young colt?. His stallion Sid by Sid. Arthur is a fashionably bred hor»e, and has been a race crack. Mr. Hill has Richmond mares and geldings, and many fashionably bred horses. He has the dam of the great race horse of this year, Tycoon, and aiso of Odette. He has a full sister to Gladstone, that promises to be a great mare. Mr. Hill is an actual equine lover, and if he will manage more judiciously, will win many great races next year. This was Hueneme's first rasing season, and it is natural that many deficiencies were noticeable. Leon Lehman, Henry Levy, Chas. Greenwell and Mr. Carsen worked assidi- ously for the accommodation of their guests and the horses. Stable room was furnished to all the race horses, and the purses, althoueh the races in most instances did not fill, still the purses were paid without any deduction. The judges on the first day were somewhat rattled, or else they wished to favor Mr. Hill, for it is universally admitted that the race between Othello, a Santa Barbara horse, and Sid, Mr. Hill's horse, was either won by Othello or it was a dead heat. Mr. Johnson, one of the jadges, says that Othello won the race by eight inches at lean. We are inclined to believe that the other two judges were excited, and as their inclination was for Mr. Hill's horse, in their excitement and haste, they unwittingly decided the race in favor of Sid. We think that if they had thought somewhat over it, that they, although unwillingly, would have declared the pools off for the mile, and have divided the money between the two horses. As it was a Novelty race, it was their best course. FRIDAY, OCT. 3— FLRST DAY. The Drst race was the Novelty race, for one mile, in which started Sid, Othello, Sid Law, Midnight, Sleepy Dick. Hum- ming Bird, Loco and Ulpiano. In the pools for the first quarter, Midnight was favorite, Sid Law second, Humming Bird third, and the rest in the field. For the half they sold the same, and for the mile Othello $10, Sid $10. field S3. The horses got off to a very poor Btart. Ulpiano was left at the post, and Midnight got off five lengths bahind. The first quarter was run in 0:24| and won handily by Sid Law, and the half also in 0:49* The three quarters was won by Sid and also the mile, at leaBt so two of the judges decided. SUM MAST.

Second race was the three-minute trot. Black Pilot was given second money and was withdrawn by James Alack.as he was considered too fast for the others. The starters were Peter Low, Biddy Toole and Nellie Reynolds. In the anction pools Nellie Reynolds sold for $5, Peter Low $-1 and Biddy Toole $2. The horses were called and Boon started. Nellie im- mediately took the lead and wag never headed. Peter Low trotted closely to him, but he never reached the mare, who won handily, Peter Low second, Biddy Toole third. Time, 2:46. Tae second heat was a repetition of the first. Biddy Toole acted stubbornly and broke often. Nellie Keynolds won the second heat, Peter Low second in 2:43. Pools after the first heat sold, Nellie Keynolds $10, field $5. The horses were called for the third beat. Nellie took the lead, but before an eighth was reached she broke badly and Peter Low took the lead. At the half she was on even terms with Peter Low aud so they trotted all the way home till within a few yards of the wire when Peter Low shot a head and won in 2:47.

Arthur and Charles Greenwell introduced the visitors to the beautiful and grace- ful dancers of Hneneme. SECOND DAY— SATURDAY, OCT. 4TH. The first race on Saturday was a hall mile and repeat, in which started Sid Law and Ulpiano. Sid Law sold for $5, Ulpiano $2. The horses gave very little trouble at the start- ing post. At the third attempt the horses got off to an even start and they ran well together till they had run three- eighths of a mile; from there Sid Law drew away and won handily by three lengths in :51. The second heat the horses started and came well together three-eighths, when Dlpiano tried to get the pole and he jumped the inside fence. Sid Law won in :53. SUMMARY.

The nest race was a mile and a qaarter dash, in which the two stallions, Othello and Sid, faced the starter. In this race great interest was taken as the crowd were eager to see wbich was the faster of the two. The day before they had run a mile, and although Othello had the better of the race it had been decided in favor of Sid. For this race Othello had the pole. The horses were started, and they came un- der the wire head and bead in :26, both under a strong pull. They ran like a double team and reached the half in :~>~.\, and so they ran, coming to the three-quarter poBt in 1:19, aud coming to the miie in 1:49.

Cyclone and Leon were to have it single handed. Cyclone had beaten Leon in Santa Barbara, and as Leon belongs in Hueneme, the people of this village felt that the gray gelding by the famous old A. W. Kichmond, would defeat Cyclone, Many pools were sold on this race, the Ventura City boys and the Santa Paula boys bettii g on Cyclone, while Santa Barbara and Hneneme made Leon the favorite. Pools sold Leon S10, Cyclone $5 and sometimes $7. At the track Leon brought $12 and Cy- clone 57. When the horse3 were called great cheering was indulged in. John Hobson of Ventura had his money on the sorrel, and he was sure of success. Carson, with his red cap and jacket, looked proud behind his grey. Leon drew the pole. The horses were started on the 6fth attempt and they went aroand the first quarter well together, Leon reach- ing the first quarter in :38i. On the backstretch he had two lengths the best of Cyclone, and so they were when they reached the half in 1 :16 At the three-quarter post Cyclone was on 1-15 wheel, and at the distance flag they were head and head, but Leon drew away from there and won handily by a length in 2:32i. The Hueneme boys did great cheering. Even the sweet young ladies of the village waved their handkerchiefs, smiled and bowed. When the horses came out for the second heat all waB quiet. Intently were the horses watched. James JIack, behind the old wirrior. Cyclone, l>oked determine!. He scoied Leon at a terrific clip, and when the horses got the word they went fast. Together they went around the torn, fighting each step. To the first quarter they went in :3S. Oo the buck stretch L9on broke and when they reached the ha'f in 1.15 J, 'Cyclone was a half a length in the lead. From there Leon increased his pace aud was soon in the head. When the home stretch was reached Leon wa* two lengths ahead, aud Carson looting bank. Mack could not reach him, but when within one hundred feet of the wire Cyclone came up to Lewis's wheel. Carson took another look back and when he looked at his ho^e Cyclone was at the wire and half a length ahead. Cyclone won the heat in 2:30. The firBt mile that has been trotted in Ventura County in 2:30 and Whip- ple's Hambletonian has another in the charmed list. The Hneoeme people were lesi jubilant, and theVenturenos were boisterous. A good display of skillful driving. Again the horses were brought out and they scored twenty minutes before they were started. Cyclone broke right under the wire, but the word *'go" had been given, and he had to go. Leon reached the first quarter ten lengths ahead. Cy clone settled down and trotted fast, bat never caught Leon who won in 2:32. When they were called for the fonrth heat, Cyclone was lame. It was a fore gone conclusion. The crippled gelding must give up the heat and race. Toe two horses went around at a slow gait. Leon leading all the way by six lengtbs and winning handily in 2:42. Thus ended the race over which such great iuterest was manifested. "Hueneme is on top," yelled the little village boys. SUMMARY. Trotting, 2:10 class, purse $150.

He would not score, and it was a long time before the horses got started, but when they got ibe word Conkling had the best of it, and he surprised them all by trotting four leugths ahead all the way around and cinie in on a jog in 2:32J.

To the surprise of all the reporrs Ben Corbet took the lead immediately after they left the wire and was never headed, he winning in 2:50.

Blaise, One of the Most Pro mis Ins; Sires In the Coon try -111 Used and His Son, Slagnellzer. Lexikgton, Ky., Sept. 26th. — Two and a half miles from Lexington, on the "Georgetown pike," one of the most bean* tiful thoroughfares leading out of the Bine Grass metropo- lis is the handsomely kept Nursery Stud, one of the finest stock farms in America, and the breeding establishment of that successful breeder and turfman, Mr. August Belmont, says the New Orleans Times— Democrat. The drive to the Nursery Stud was a delightful one, and it wozld not take the most pronounced stranger in the re- gion to recognize the beautiful farm as the breeding head- quarters of one of the most liberal and painstaking horse- breeders in the country. In the rich, heavily shaded blue grass pastures fronting on the turnpike a little band of blue- blooded stud matrons were graziog, but a double line of snowy whitewashed fences bordered the pasture, with a nar- row grassy lane separating the outer from the inner line. Every animal on Mr. Belmont's farm is worth a great deal of money, and the introduction of any fatal malady like gland- ers would mean a tremendons blow, not only financially, but to the prestige of his farm and the continued success of his colors on the turf. The equine tramp who may wander along the roadside, the peddler's horse, or the drummer's livery outfit cannot by any possibility sow the seeds of dis- ease on Mr. Belmont's farm. The patrician stock of the Nursery Stud is afforded no opportunity of communication with the plebeian who may nibble grass by the roadside be- yond an exchange of the commonest civilities at long range. Though this device for preserving valuable horses from contamination is not in general use, there are many precau- tious whicn Kentucky breeders practice for preventing the introduction of infection into their breeding stads. A Ut- ery horse or a horse from any of the public stables in the city is never even for a few moment? housed in a stall inten ded to be occupied by any of the stock belonging to the farm, while the utmost care is taken with stable buckets, blankets and other appliances to prevent the possible carry- it g of infection. In the arrangement of his stable Mr. Belmont has adopted the plan described in a former letter as prevailing on King- ston Stud Farm. The buildings are all of modern size and so scattered as to prevent the spreading of fire from one to another. Everything about the farm is kept in the most perfect or- der, and the most scrupulous neatness and cleanliness pre- vails everywhere. There is not a panel of fence that is not thickly crusted with snowy whitewash, every outbuilding is either freshly painted or whitewashed, there is not a weed to be seen in any of the great velvety bine grass pastures, every clump of woodland is carefully underbroshed, and the giant shade trees are as neatly pruned as though they were yonng fruit trees. In a beautiful roomy paddock or email pasture through which runs a limpid spring brook was found the stud king, imported St. Blaise, who bids fair to prove one of the most brilliantly successful sires that ever Btood in America. St. Blaise is iu all respects a grand looking horse. A bright golden chestnut with a silken coat that glitters in the afternoon sunlight like gold dust, a blazed face and white feet, he loohe a veritable prince of his race. He stands fully six- teen handB higb, but he is so long and massive that tbe be holder could hardly believe him as tall as he really is. Hi has a splendid looking head, a big, bright, prominent eye. a fine blood like ear, clean, wide throttle, a grandly arched neck, both rangy and muscular: a broad, full chest, slopiogi shoulders, long, stout and beautifully rounded barrel, pow- erful closely coupled loins; broad, rangy and massive qaar ters, with thick stifles well let down, and clean flat limbs. Hi is altogether a Buperb looking horse. With such a gram showing as his two-year-olds have male this year, with rich heritage of winning strains and with his own epleodn individuality, St. Blaise baseverything in his favor. His ped igree is as follows: Saint Blaise, oh h, foaled 1SS0; bred by Lord Alingtoo imported 1SS6, and owned by Hon. Auanst Belmont, Nur- sery Stud, Lexington, Ky. by Hermit. First dam, Fusee bj Marsya'?; second dam, Vesuvienne by Gladiator; third dam, Venus by Sir Hercules; fourth dam, Echo byEurilius; b'ftb dam by Scud or Pioneer; sixth dam, Canary Bird by Whisky or Sorcerer; seventh dam, Canary by Coriander: eighth danj Mi6s Green by Highflyer; ninth dam, Harriet by Matchem tenth dam, Flora by ReguluB; eleventh dam by Bartlet'* Childers; twelfth dam by Bay Bolton; thirteenth dam by Belgrade Turk. ie ! ' : 1890 JPt* ffrjejete and jlptfrtsttxau. 353 As the sire of so many fast and promising youngsters (es- peoially his two-year-olds), St. Blaise is sure to prove a most valuable acquisition to the thoroughbred horse interest cf this country. The success of his two-year-olds has been al* most phenomenal this year, while even his first crop showed to no small advantage. His breeding is extremely rich on all Bides, and his individuality is good enough to Btamp him as first class in all respects. His sons and daughters are speedy up to great weight, and capable of winning in fast company in either light or heavy going. In the next paddock was found imported 111 Used, another sire of winners and a hoise of grand breediog and fine in- dividuality. His get have proved themselves stont, game and speedy upon the turf and they have been animals that almost invariably trained on, nearly all being of the hard wear-and-tear sort that will nearly always give good accounts of themselves in any company. Though St. Blaise had the honor of producing the Futurity winner, his sturdy little stud companion had the honor of being the sire of the place horse in that rich event. Ill Used, while not Buch a grand-looking horse as Saint Bleise, is a wonderfully stout little fellow of marvelous high quality. He is in fact a big horse on Bhort legs. He is long, low and stout, and massive rather than large. He has a small tapering head, a handsome muscular neck, which, though less arched than that of Saint Blaise, is beautifully turned and gracefully laid between rangy, sloping shoulders. His barrel 1b long, very stout and beautifully rounded with a hiRh, closely coupled broad loin and grand quarters. He is in fact, a hard horse to describe in a pen picture, as he is strongly stamped with a peculiarly high quality and patrician grace that, while readily recognized by the practical eye of the horseman, is very dim* colt to describe. He has an in- describable admixture of the stoutness of the cob with the reach, the quality and the peculiarly graceful quality of a race horse of the highest type. He is a bright bay with a wonderfully fine coat and a skin so delicate that the network of veins is easily discernible beneath it. His pedigree is as follows: 111 Used, b h, foaled 1870, bred by Col. Townly, imported and owned by Hon. A. Belmont, Nursery Stud, Lexington, Ky. By Breadalbane. First dam. Ellimier by Chanticleer; second dam, Ellerdale by Lineicost; third dam, by Tom Boy; fourth dam, Tisane, by Whisker; fifth dam. Lady of the Tees by Oetavian; sixth dam. by Sancho; seventh dam, Miss Fury by Trumpator; eighth dam by Ma*k Anthony; ninth dam, S gnora by Snap; tenth dam, Miss Windnor by The Godolphin Arabian; elev- enth dam, Sister to Wyville's Volunteer by Young Belgrade; twelfth dam by Barthel's Childers; thirteenth dam, by Devonshire chestnut Arabian: fourteenth dam, Sister to Duke cf Somerset's "Westbury by the Curwen bay Barb; fifteenth dam by Old Spot; sixteenth dam by Woodcock. The third of the Nursery stud sires was visited in his box. This was the Bplendid looking young stallion Magnetizer. Though new to the stud Magnetizer is already a grand look- ing horse. Though only six years old he is an animal of fine range and substance,[havingimore size than his Bire, 111 Used, without the sacrifice of any of that rare quality that consti- tutes such a distinguishing feature of the old horse's make up. In color he closely resembles his sire, as well as in gen- eral outline, and except that he has a little more length of limb, he might pass for an enlarged copy of the old horse. Except in his two-year-old form Magnetizer was unfortunate on the turf, failing to win brackets in his three-year-old form, and not starting afterward. As a two-year old he started six times and won three races. At Jerome Park he Btarted against a field of maiden two- year olds and carryine HO pounds {top weight) beating a field of six and running a half mile in 0:50S. The betting agfinst Magnetizer was 15 to 1. At Coney Island, in the race for the Foam stakes, he car- ried 115 pounds and finished seventh, with Omaha 112, Guarantee 135, King Fiah 115, and Miracle 115. ahead of him. A few days later in the Surf (states, however, he car- ried 115 and beat Guarantee 115, Ballston 115, Fanita 112, Miracle 115, and Omaha'119, running five furlongs in 1:02, and paid his backers 20 to 1 . His last victory was in the Independence Stakes at Mon- mouth, when he carried 120 pounds and beat Flitaway 162J Satisfaction 117, Bay Kidge 112, Mirabeau 105, Miracle 107, Balaton 113, Sensation— Idalia colt 110, King Ernest— Inver- more filly 102 and Sir Dixon 105 In this race ilagnetizer starting with four to one against him got off absolutely last, but ran through his field and won easily by a length and a half, six furlongs, in 1:15J. In the Hopeful stakes he ran Becond to Woden and Torchlight. He finished away back in the Junior Champion Stakes won by King Fish with Los Angeles second and Sir Dixon third. Magnetizer's pedigree is as follows: Bay horse, foaled 18S5, bred by Hon. A. Belmont, Nursery Stud, by imported 111 Used. First dam Magnetism by Kingfisher. Second dam Attraction by imp. Balrownie. Third dam imp. Maud byStockwell. Fourth dam Countess Albemarle by Lanercost. Fifth dam sister to Hornesea by Velocipede. Sixth dam bv Cerberus . Seventh dam Miss Cranfield by Sir Peter Teazle. Eighth dam by Pegasus. Ninth dam by Paymaster. Tenth dam Pomona by Herod. Eleventh dam Caroline by Snap. Twelfth dam by KeguluB. Thirteenth dam by Hip. Fourteenth dam Large Hartley by Hartley's blind horBe. Fifteenth dam by Flying Whig by Williams' Woodstock Arabian . Sixteenth dam by St. Victor Barb. Seventeenth dam by Whynot {son of Fenwick Barb). Eighteenth dam Royal mare. It is probable that it would be difficult to find a more choice selection of broodmares anywhere under the sun than ure to be seen at the Nursery Stud. . ^_ Palo Alto's celebrated grey mare Sontag Mohawk by Mo- hawk Chief, is now the dam of five 2:30 performers— Sallie Benton by General Benton, 2:17$ at four years old; Sport by Piedmont, 2:22| at five years oldj Colma by Electioneer, 2:25£ at four years old; Conductor by Electioneer, 2 :25i at three years old, and Eros by Electioneer, 2:29* at eight years old. Mr. Marvin sayB by next Fall she will have another in the 2:30 list, and as she is only 6fteen, she should soon be at the head of trotting brood mares, for she seems to throw trotters to every horse she is mated with.

Thoughts— Turfy and Otherwise. Harvey Wahde Peck. Now comes the day of the kite-shaped track. It originated as an experiment, gained a fasthold, and arose in a blaze of glory. That they are conducive to speed is undeniable Jack's mile in 2:12^; Roy Wilkes' mile in 2:08J; the two-year old Manager's mile in 2:16.}; Margaret S's mile in 2:12* and Cricket's mile in 2:10; all made on the kite-shaped track at Independence, Ind., would seem too conclusive to awaken adverse argument. It is to be presumed that the kite-shaped will now bloBBom like the fabled lotos, and it may also be that a taBte of its joys will affect the participator similarly to that accredited the lotus-eaters — they forgot the old love for the new! But while the horsemen advocate the shape for speed, beneath it all there arises a still, small kick— the races cannot be seen with anything like the same distinctness they can on the regulation track. This objection will be found to count for much, when it is properly understood, for race meetings cannot succeed without patronage, and anything that militates against the gate money will have to go sooner or later. The horsemen alone cannot make any fair, a finan- cial success by and in themselves, aa cooperation must come" from the public as well, to enable Fair managers to offer pur. ges of sum'cieut size to tempt the owners of the best horses. I quote the followine from the Examiner of Sept. 24th: "To night an Examiner reporter had an interview with L U. Shippee, President of the Society, relative to the charge that the Stockton Association does not treat the horsemen with fairness, and this is wbiit he has to say: '•There are always a few kickers at the fair who get angry because the judges and directors compel them to live up to the rules; They want their influence to be felt, too, and they join in the attack. The gimblers and these kickers want Sheriff Cunningham, the Fair Directors and the peo- ple here to feel that if they are not allowed to do as they please, the fair cannot be made a success. Well, now I think the people of this valley and manly horsemen will contribute to make the fair successful, regardless of what the gamblers say: "Frank Burke is quoted as saying that he is not coming to Stockton this year, because the Directors will not give him a fair deal and that he bas no guarantee of fair treatment. The true reason why Frank Burke will not come to the fair here this year is that he has no horBes at present that can win a penny in any cl tss. So far as fair treatment is con- cerned neither he nor any other man can show a single in- stance where the directors of the fair ever failed to live up to their agreement. I defy anybody to give a single example. "Goldsmith "says he will not be here; that is true, and I will tell you why. None of Corbitt's horses which he is handling can win a purse in any class at this fair. That is the pitch of why Goldsmith will not be at the fair. Corbitt iB a kicker, too, because several years ago when a horse of his did not win he took exceptions to the decisions of the race, and the judges decided agaioBt him. Last year, when he bad a walk over, Goldsmith, who was driving, nodded to the judges for the go, according to the agreement he had made with them. After he had gone about a third of the course the horae made a bad break and Goldsmith came back for another start. The judges notified him before he got back to the starting point that he had been started once and could not be started again. He insisted that he had a right to eend his horse around the course any time he pleased that afternoon. Well, we paid him the money and left the de- cision of the question to the Turf Congress, which decided against him. He got his money, though, through the asao- ciation'y generosity." This is, from some standpoints a very unique production. Underneath it all is developed the praiseworthy desire to let the public know that the Stockton Fair was a gigantic success in spite of opposition of all and every kind — of which I am truely glad. I do not feel called upon to take np any per- sonal quarrel that either Mr. Corbett, Mr. Burke or Mr. Goldsmith may have had with the directors of the San Joa- quin Association. I am, however, compelled to say that, if Mr. Shippee is correctly reported, his knowledge of some horaes upon this coast is of very inferior order! To say that Hazel Wilkes, Regal Wilkea, Sister V. Rupee, Wanda and Maggie E, could win no money at Stockton, (nnless indeed there class races were expunged from the programme) ie like confessing ones self a great navigator, without ever having Been salt water. In the Sept. 15th issue of that splendid Eastern publica- tion, Clark's Horse Review, appeared this squib: "A writer who is well posted as to the Benton family, claims that Sunol is a typical Benton and possesses but few of the characteristics of Electioneer or of the thoroughred." Without knowing this writer personally, I venture the assertion that his claims to form will not be seriously handi- capped by any comment that can be made upon him. When a writer "well posted a3 to the Benton family" stands forth and declares him elf by stating that "Sunol is a typical Ben- ton" he can surely have no pretention to fame, except such as might aeorue by avoiding the truth! Suno! in no one re- spect resembles Gbo.;Benton orany of his produce. Neither in conformation, g«it nor disposition, does she resemble the Benton family! Everyooe that knows themare well is awere of this fact. Her general conformation iB patterned after her Bire, her gait more nearly approaches the Electioneer family than any other; while her disposition would indicate that the infusion of thoroughbred blood took a decided hold upon her( as the Electioneer^ and Benton'B are very gentle and sindly dispositioned horses, as a rule. The Examiner of September 14th contained a picture of Mr. Gibson's fine herd of Galloway cattle. The cut was followed by a pleasing description of Mr. Gibson's success in the rear, ing of Galloways— which I will Bay, incidentally, are a breed of hornless cittle, The picture, however, showed a group of draft horses, a stallion, mare and colt! Beneath the picture was the following- "From n photograph at fch§ F»ir grounds by the Examiner, special camera artist. " Did the Galloways object to being photographed in public, or is it possible that the "special artist" did not know the different e between Galloways and draft horses when he met them face to face? Anyhow, Mr. Gibson was somewhat misrepresen- tated, although probably not so much so as he would have been had his own photograph appeared in the paper.

Mamie Fonso who has been very successful io the west this season is said to be safely in foal to Volante aDd her racing days will so^n be o'er. "Aurelius" thinks now that the kite-shaped tracks have come that the oval courses will become obsolete as factors of fast speed and honest racing. Jjhn H. Wallace &nya the next movement will be for no records under any circumstances except in regularly con- tested raceB against other horses. Orion, by Bend Or. out of Shotover, is said to be the crack two-year-old in England, and no wonder, for Bend Or won the Derby in 1880 and Shotover in 1882. Pedigree certificates of the following yearlings (bred in U. S. America), the property of Mr. Leopold Rothschild, have been duly lodged with Messrs. Weatherby: — Engineer, be by Darebin (imp.) — Tulare, b c by Sir Modred (imp.) — Typhoon. Chinn & Morgan, Leonatus Stud, Ky., have bought of W. B. Letcher, Richmond, Ky., the six year old bay horse Te- nacity, by Ten Broeck — Vivacity, by Virgil, for §1500 Tenacity is Baid to be very good just now, and Bhould soon be won out. Ed Gardner's yearling, half brother to The Bard, Bracelet by Mr. Pickwick — Bradmante, is credited with having done a quarter at Nashville recently in :24. Evidently the young- ster has a touch of the speed that made his great half bro- ther so famous. That grand old race horse Parole had his jaw broken by a kick from a horse recently. He is used at Rsncocas as a leader for the yearlings in their first gallops. The official timers at Terra Haute when Nelson made his great mile were Orrin A. Hickok, W. H. Crawford and P. D. Cox. The time by quarters was :32, 1;04|, 1:361 and 2:11*. The Rutland County (Vt.) Agricultural Society announces that the premiums awarded at the fair cannot be paid. The cause is the iailare of the exhibition because of the rainy season. G H. Hoj>per of Unionsville, Ohio, recently lost a bay filly by Bell Boy. dam M-ss Wilkes, 2:29, by George WilkeB. This is ihe fourth valuable animal that Mr. Hopper has lost this year. Mr. Withers believes that the mile-record of 1:351, made by Silvator, could he beaten several seconds on the same course next year. The track was not in good condition when Salvaior ran. Charles Reed has purchased Laggard by Uncas from imp. Dawdle by Saunterer. grand dam Moula by Touohstone.from D. D. Withers, and will place him in the Fairview Stud where Exile already is. Sir Dixon by Billet from Jaconet, a sister to the English Derby winner of 1880 — Iroquois, has returned to Kentucky after a successful racing career. He will take Billet's place in the Runnjmede Stud. The Messrs. Briggs of Auburn, Me., owns a full Bister to Nelson, 2:1U, the fastest stallion in the world, and a full brother to Sunol, 2:10£, the fastest three and four-year-old trotter the world has e'ver produced. At Pittsburg the grand jury ignored bills against Samuel EogKsh, Frank Herdic, Harry Johnson and Jerome Smith for selling pools at the Homewood races and placed the eoBts on Capt. A. Wishart, the prosecutor. The Agricultural and Mechanical Association has bought from the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' Association five acres of land adj Dining their grounds and fronting Bixty feet on South Broadway at 5500 per acre. J. D. Creighton, of Omaha. Neb., has purchased from Jacob T. Hugely, of Danville, Ky , for $10,000, the two-yeir- old filly Evangeline, who recently made a record of 2:282. She is by Director, dam by Red Wilkes. Noah Armstrong says that Spokane, by Hyder Ali, dam In- terpose, by Intruder, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1889. will never face the Btartsr agiin. Mr, Armstrong says he has been permanently retired to the stud. The Eureka Jockey Club will give two days' racing at South Park this month, on Thursday and Friday, Ojt. 30th and 31st. A very good programme has been arranged and some exciting events may be anticipated. Pierre Lorillard intends to engage in breeding thorough- breds for racing on a more extensive plan than ever before. He will soon have at least one hundred and fifty first-class brood mares on his great farm at Jobstown, N. J. John W. Stout. Jr. who owob a farm in the vicinity of Leedsville, is training a number of yearlings for the Dwyer Brothers. Last week there arrived at the farm Kingston, Hanover, and other well known racers who will remain there duriDg the winter. Marcus Daly, Anaconda, Mont., has bought of W. R. Braq- field & Co., Lexington, the 2-year-old fllly Lady Wilton (2:25) by Wilton, dam by Kentucky Prince, Jr. This is the filly that sold for $10,000 a short time ago, and it is said Daly paid more than that sum for her. The noted brood mare, Naiad Queen, 2:20£, by Champion, dam Tacbey, 2:26, by Pilot, Jr., frll and broke her leg in the pasture of her owner, George G. White, near Paris, Ky., on Monday, and may have to be killed. She c^st her owner $5,200 at auction a few years ago, Nashville is to have a new trotting track built on the bitf- shaped plan. The track and the necessary buildings will oc- cupy eighty acres on the Nolansville Pike, and the cost will be about $40,000. Street-car lines will run from the city to the track, which will be opened next summer. Miss Majolica, the sister of Majolica 2:15, and of Mani- brino Maid 2;17£, was driven to a record of 2:24J at Cleve- land. She has been bred to Kremlin, the great young son of Lord RusBell. Both are owned at Allen Farm. Proctor Knott has been turned over to the Scorgan Bros, by Dr. Suepherd, who has been attending to his ailments for some time, aud the white-faced chestnut should be seen in the van again next spring when racing commences. Margaret S. heads the list of grand cirouit winners. Her winnings are placed at $10,700. Walter E ranks second with $8,000, Mimbrino Maid third with $7,625, Prince Re- gent fourth with $7,250, and Pamlico fifth with $6,000. It is rumored among horsemen that Chicago is to have a kite-shaped track exclusively for trotters iu the near future, and that an option on a tract of laud for the purpose in the southwestern part of the city has already been obtained. The Stewards of the English Jockey Club have decided that no declaration of partnership io brood mares which are engaged in Produce RaceB need be made until the declara- tion of produce, with which it must be made simultaneously. A French journalist rejoiced the other day over a -meeting at which there hal been three walks-over, and waggishly suggested what a delightful remedy for betting —that English vice— it would be if only one hoise were started for each race. St. Gatien, who was purchased some time back from Mr. John Hammond for £14,030 by Count Lehndorff, on behalf of the Royal German Stud, left Newmarket last August for his new home under the charge of Tom M'Lean. The horse was insured for £15.000 during his journey to Germany. The horses belonging to the Chicago stables were sold at Morris Park Saturday. The following are among the horses disposed of, with the prices brought: Little Mincb S 1,000, Kalookh $3,600, Terra Cotta $1,550, E^mont $2,650. Lela May $1,600, Robespierre $5 625, Joe Blackburn $2,100, WreBtler $2,025, Pessara $4,100 J. D. Patton has lost by death the \aloable thoroughbred > stallion. Duke of Kent, who during his racing days won 63 races, of which several were large Btake events. He was re- tired to the stud several years ago and was the sire of Carter B., Little Crete, Lucy P., and a number of others that have performed well on Western tracks io the past few years. The sporting man on Truth offers a good suggestion when i he thinks that the Jockey Club would do well to pass a rule postponing the time of making entries for the Derby and Oafes until the Tuesday after Doncaster. when the Leger closes, and then, as the yearling Bales would all be over, there would be no object in deducting £500 from the Derby and '■ £400 from the Oaks for the benefit of the nominator of the winner. Count Valensin will be with us. says the racy Terra Haute Express, to enjoy the r»ces. The Count is the owner of a stock farm at Pleasanton, Cal., which has at its head the great sire of extreme speed, Sidney, 2:19f . It will be recol- lected that the Count paid us a pleasant visit in the spring of 1889, at the time Knap McCarthy was working several of his horses. His many friends will take pleasure in seeing him again. C. W. Chapin, manager ot the steamboat line between New York and New Haven, has bought a farm of sixty-four acres near the Grant farm on tbe LeadBville Road, which will be converted into a stock raising farm. A half mils track is being laid out and a large stable to accommodate fifty horses is being built. The foreman of tbe farm is Michael A Cole- man, who has been employed by D. D. Withers for the last fifteen years. There were 284 British stallions exported to British North America during the seven months ended July 31st, againBt 446 in 1859, and 163 to other countries, against 349. It would thus appear that the falling off in the foreign demand is chiefly in that from South America and Canada. The total number of horses exported was 6 94S against 0.f>64 in the corresponding period of last year, and 6 582 in 1888; the value having been £S23.S4l compared with £429 6S9 in 1889, and £414,625 in 1SSS. The fastest time made on the Lexington track by any yearling this fall wa3 made by a Voltnrno filly out of Fushia. She ran a quarter with her weight up in 0:23.1. She is the property of Mr. G.W. Simmons, the owner of the late George Wilkes. The trial was publicly made and is said to be cor- rectly timed. Dr. Charles William Aby was in San Francisco several days this week, and left for New York. He expects to return next month with some highly bred mares for the Guenoc Stock Farm. The Doctor Bays that the youngsters on the ranch are looking particularly well, and it will not be long before some of them will be heard from. Telegraph operators at the English race-tracks have a busy time of it when there is a big event on the card. On St. Lcg- er day upward of Bixteen thousand ordinary messages were received and dispatched from Doncaster, in addition to press telegrams whioh contained one hundred thousand words. Sixty-five operators coped with this mass of work. Scott Quinton, of Trenton, N. J., who last year trained Marcus Daly's trotters, writes: "I notice all the papers in teporting the sale of the chestnut fitly S tppho, announce that I bought her for Marcus Daly, of Montana. I wish to state right here that I bought the mare strictly as a business spec- ulation, and she is the sole pruperty of myself and my brother." The famous pacing sire Tom Hal that died in Tennessee last June, was buried with becoming honors, and his last resting place is marked by an appropria'e head stone, on which is the following inscription: "Tom Hal, foiled 1S62; died June 5, 1890; Rockdale Stock Farm, Bufords, Tenn. Sire of Brown Hal, 2;12$; Lit'le Brown Jug, 2:11s; Hal Pointer, 2:13." Little El Annan, 2:16^, who last year wintered in Fresno among Bndd Doble's Btring under George Starr's care, will, on account of a bad leg, be retired from the turf. His owner, Major Dickinson, will present the game little pacer to his sister for a road horse. When to wagon on the road Annan sticks close to the trot. He has been a successful campaigner, and has earned a rest from turf work. The famouB old race horse Helm bold died at the True Blue Stock Farm, Avoca, Steuben County, N. Y., the home of True Blue, Volney and Harrison Clay. Helmbold was foaled in 1866, beingbyimp. Australian, dam Lavender, by Wagner, second dam Alice Carneal (Lexington's dam), by imp. Barpe- don; third dam Rowena by Sumpter, On Friday October 2nd, W. H. E. Smith, the owner of Al Farrow, pnrchape 1 at the McGrathiana sale for $475 a bay yearling colt by Onondaga from BrigaDza (Elsinore) by Bertram and the same day bought for $775 at the Astor sale a chest- nut yearling colt by imp Woodlands from Glidelia by imp. Bonnie Scotland, grand dam Walz by Lexington, etc. The Trotting Union of Great Britian proposes adopting a new rub, the object being to debar American trotters from centestB under the auspices of that organization. Exception will be made, however, in favor of horses which have pre- viously trotted in the country, and also those who can pro- duce a certificate of eligibility from the U. S. It is said that Mr. Dunbar, who recently purohased John- ston, 2:004;, has driven him a quarter over the Buffalo track in thirty seconds, and is so delighted with the gelding, that he would not part with him for $20,000. He will use him entirely on tbe road, and the Buffalo people are looking for- ward with much satisfaction to the time, this coming winter, when Johnston and Hal Pointer will meet on the snow path. Monterey, Ibe four-year old from whom so much was expected when Hicknk went Eist this spring, has been turned over to his owner, Will Snyder, of New York City, who will place him at tbe head of the El Dorado farm, near Pougb- keepsie. Monterey has a world of Bpeed but went wrong. With a little more age he should prove a sterling race horse. Commenting on the Prince of Wales's ill-luck with Goldeu Maze in the Goodwood Cup, I fear, says a veteran racegoer, it will never be iu my time that his Royal Highness will own three such famous race horses, even if they should be bred, as Fleur de Lis, Zinganee, and The Colonel, who ran first, second and third for the Cup in 1830, on that memorable occasion when his illustrious ancestor William IV., in reply to Mr. Delme Radcliffe's inquiry as to which of the lot was to run, replied, "Start the whole fleet, and let the beBt win!' George Van Gorden, superintendent of Senator Hearst's ranch in San Luis Obispo, has been in Pleasanton for sev- eral days supervising the building of the new track on the property recently purchased by Senator Hearst, just below the Pleasanton Stock Farm, Mr. Van Gorden says the track will, he expects, be ready for use early in the spring. Mr. Van Gorden speaks highly of the colts by imported Cheviot, brother to Rancho del Paso's Sir Modred; he ?ays they are of remarkable quality and good size, several of tbe yearlings weighing over 900 lbs. Veillen, the Megibben Stable's sister to Huntress, is 8 handsome, rangy filly, resembling no little her famous rela- tive, who sleeps her last sleep under the sod at Latouia, the scene of her last great turf triumph. Thus far Veillen has failed to show any of the raciDg qualities of her sieter, but if looks go for anything, her racing career will yet be a bril- liant one. Her full brother Eberlee, who has been off the whole of the year, is now gradually rounding to, and may appear in public before the season is over. It is thought that with the recovery of his health once more Eberlee will yet live to fulfill the promise of his two year old form. "B. B," what does it stand for? No one seenia to know and so they call him 'Branded Broncho." He is branded "C. II.," or "G. H," and he looks a Texas broncho. Yet be is a very close second to Hal Pointer in 2:095, 2:12$ and 2:13. The peerless Sunol, by the way, is branded C. 66, und- er the mane as are all Palo Alto bred horses, Mr. Lathrop obsarving tbe other day that it was of great assistance at times, for instance last week he received a letter stating that a gentleman in the East bad bought a horse with a certain pedigree and giring the brand, on referring to the books it was at once seen that the horse w spring. Silver Bow 1170S is by Kobert McGregor 2:17 j, dam Sadie by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, grand dam Lady Wynne by William Welch 341, third dam Eleanor Margrave by imp. Margrave, etc., his breeding is, therefore, unexceptional, j showing the most valuable trotting blood backed up by stoat ! running blood, his third dam being thoroughbred. Although : only three years old, Silver Bow proved niniself a high class racehorse through the Montana Circuit last season, winning, among other races, two at Batte City, the first in 2:29 J- 2:31 ! and 2:31 on Only 2nd, and again on August 15 a turfman's watch is a quar- [ ter of a second — an interval so brief that the eye can hardly ; observe, the mind can hardly appreciate it. Yet in every one 1 of those 3S quarters of a second that magnificent creature , leaped 16 3-10 feet. Such are the amazing results of careful I breeding as exhibited in the Americin race horse. Is the human race improving in the same ratio? Scarcely, At the London Bankruptcy Court last month, Ernest Ben- ■ zon, the "Jubilee Plunger," was again before Mr. Registrar l-Giffard, upon his adjourned public examination. (An amend- i ed account was now riled showing gross debt3 £40 162, of which £21,447 is unsecured, and the indebtedness being in- creased by £1,779. The securities in the hands of Mr. Sam- uel Lewis and Mr. G. Whittaker are houses in Kensington, . and, as to his book, the bankrupt states that he is entitled to i "one-third share in my book, 'How I lost £250,000 in two years,' which I am informed has not made any profits." Mr. i Rubinstein Baid he was instructed by Mr. Hasluck, the trustee, to state that, with reference to the book debt of be- i tween £13,000 and £14,000 owing to the bankrupt, under legal pressure a sum of £5,000 had been paid, and that an . immediate dividend of 5s. in the pound would be paid to the creditors. No further question being asked, the public ex- amination was ordered to be concluded. The case of John A. Morris and the New York Jockey Club against the Mayor of the City of New York has been decided by the Court of Appeals at Albany in favor of the Mayor. This is the notorious jockey clob fence case which oansed so much newspaper comment in the sommer of 1S89. The fence was built by the jockey club upon a portion of the Bronx and Pelham Parkway, which is a public highway. The decision rendered leaves the city free to remove the fence. Charlie Marvin arrived last Friday at the Bay District Track with Palo Alto, Sunol, Voucher, Gertrude, Russell, Colma, Wildmont and Amigo in addition to which Hickok's Prince Warwick and the pacer Chris Smith were brought : over. Mr. Marvin who looks in exceptionally good health, said that lock was against him; the horBes were never better ' and several times while East he expected to lower Palo Alto and Sunol's records, but either wind or rain Bpoilt hiB pros- ■ peots. Sunol who waB clipped last Taesday and given her first i work on Wednesday looked as hard and fit as could be although a little tacked up she evidently bas grown a little while Eist. She will make an attempt to lower her record in a few weeks, probably on the Bay District Track which is being put into .shape again. Palo Alto never looked better in his life and should go a mile way down before January. Mr. Marvin says that Voucher is a much better horse than any one had any idea, and there is no telling how good he is. Spain is not so very far behind in the matter of horse-rac- ing, as will be Been by the following from the French Le Sport: "It will no doubt surprise many of your readers to learn that there are, exclusive of the two English societies at Gibraltar, nine racing associations, viz: At Madrid, Lisbon, Seville, Cadiz, Xeres, Cordova, Granada, Baena and Barce- lona. The rules of the Society of Encouragement at Madrid, which is under the patronage of the Queen Regent and und- er the Presidency of the Duke of Fernan-Nunez, are, with slight modifications, adopted by the other societies, and they differ but little from those prevailing in France and England, except that the scale of weights is rather higher. With the exception of Madrid, where there are eight days' racing in spring and autumn, none of the other meetings bave more than two days in the year, and the most valuable prizes are both run for at Madrid, one being the Grand Prize of £400, for three year olds bred in Spain, and the other the Compe- tencia Prize of £320, for three year olds bred in Spain or im- ported while still yearlings. The Darby Del Mediodia, or Southern Derby, run at Seville, is worth £200, and is open to all three year olds, though foreign bred horses have to carry seven pounds extra, the conditions of the Barcelona Darby being much the same, and altogether about £10,400 was given in public money last year." Bingo won every race at the Yreka Fair in which he ren says the Democratic Times, and added several hundred dol- lars to his owner's wealth. He is a race horBe in every par- ticular. Klickitat was not so successful as at the district fair, losing every race he ran in, which may also be said of Wolf Creek Bald'y and the trotting horse E. P. Argo won a three-eighth mile race in 35 seconds, which is within a half second of the best time on record. Aiken's Sammy H. was a close second, and subsequently won the one-half mile race for beaten horses, defeating both Klickitat and Baldy. L. Swan's three-year-old stallion Ante-Ecbo won three trotting races, making 2.43 in his contest with E. P. Wanda, who fs of the McDonough stock, won the $500 trotting lace, beating Ante-echo and Effie V. in straight heats and making 2:37. Vance's EflBe V. won a trotting race, as also did Swan's Zephyr and McDonald's Miss Hogau, while Wild Oats won two running races. There was an outburst of crazy clatter a few months ago about the "spirit'' and "enterprise" mauifested by Lord Dud- ley in giving £5,000 for Royal Meath just before that horse won the Auteuil Steeplechase, Bays Truth. Some painful proceedings iu the Irish Court of Queen's Bench last week are calculated to confirm the impression which Lord Dudley's aberrations and extravagances bave created, that Lord Hare- march would be a more suitable name for him. It seeniB that Lord Dudley bas never yet paid for Royal Meath, and the Court granted an application that he might be served with a writ, although out of the jurisdiction. Under the cir- cumstances, this is a discreditable scandal, and if Lord Dud- ley could not even pay for Royal Meath, it was exceedingly wrong of him to go to Newmarket during the July week and expend some £6,000 in buying yearlings. It would be inter- esting to learn whether these animals have yet been paid for. Lord Dudley's relatives had better endeavor to induce him to give up racing altogether, for if he goes on for many more years with such muddy-minded fatuities as have so far dis- tinguished his turf careeer, he will ruin himself irretrievably. Green Morris is a well known turfman and has had lots of experience. He can give good advice to younger men on the turf, and anything he says is always of interest. This year he has had very fair success, although he has also had a fair share of bad luck. His hardest piece of luck was the death of the colt Lisimony, when he appeared to have the rich Realization Stakes at his mercy. Mr. Morris has been a cattle driver, a miner, a horse trad- er, and almost everything else that in the great West twenty, thirty and forty years ago seemed to be congenial to an as- tute and courageous man. Many an Indian pony bearing a young red skin has come in second to his bareback riding. "What does it cost you to keep your stable?" he waB asked recently. "I have ten horses," he answered, "and if I don't win $20,000 during the season I will come out behind." "It surely does not cost $2,000 a horse?" "Not for its keeping alone. That costs, including help, about $700. The balance is made up by entrance fees, for- feits, jockeys' pay, etc. I paid Isaac Murphy S500 when he won the Junior Championship for me.'' The terrific losses of the local pool rooms during the past month is a profitable subject of comment, says the St. Louis Republic. So continuous has been the publio raid on the treasuries of the bookmakers that the oldest pool-room in the city was forced to close this week. This is Roche's old stand in the alley. Dick Roche and Hank Wilder both grew tired of put- ting up, and both abandoned the room. W. B. Eaton, who came from New York 18 months ago as the representative of Lovell, is said to have lost $40,000 in Roche's room making a book. He has given it ap and returned to New York. Aleck Ullman lost $25,000 this sea3on in the alley, and he has drawn out. Furber is over 515,000 loser, bnt iB still doing a heavy business, with six books laying the odds. Furber's and Hambrick's are about the only rooms now in the alley. Donovan's rooms in the Exchange have lost heavily, in the neighborhood of $25,000 in the past month, and taking it al- together the public is getting much the best of the game. Nearly all the rooms made a practice of giving a point better odds than are laid at the track, which is called "bunching." Since the "run" became a raid nearly all rooms have quit "bunching" except Farber'e, Hambrick's and Donovan'B. Among the heavy outside winners are two brothers engaged in the quarry business in North St. Louis, the son of a prom- inent government official, a young man formerly in the gas business and a hundred others. In the July number of Baily's Magazine there is a portrait of Ormonde, one of the mightiest race horses of modern or ancient times. It is said to be a very faithful representation of the Dnke of Westminster's champion, and, says Augur in the Australasian, judging from the engraving. I should take the English crack to be something like Mr. Donald Wallace's champion, Le Grand. At first sight he looks a tall, shortish horse, and as he is described to be just 3ft. from the ground to the elbow, he is more on the leg than most horses, for this is said to be about one incb and a half in excess of aver- age. "Nevertheless,'1 says a writer in Baily, "the length of limb possessed by this, the horse of the century, doubtless contributed in no small degree to propel him to victory over all courses and against all comers and had much to do with that prodigious stride whicbis never to be forgotten by those who witnessed it." His head is described as an inch longer than the average, and he was always a tall, forward specimen of the thoroughbred, even from his foalbood and yearling days. .Before the great horse left J or his new home in Buenos Ayres his exact propartions were taken, in order that the present and future generations of racing men might know what manner of horse he was in regard to make and shape, and they will prove interesting to our readers: Here they are: Ormonde's Proportions. ft. in. Height, 16b. liin , or 5 5j Entire length, from greatest proportion of chest to greatest proportion of quarter '. 5 4 Entire length from occiput (between ears) to root of tail 6 10 Length of head 2 1 ^eck, narrowest part 1 t From the pin or focus or the hair growth im mediately in front of illlum to the extreme projection of quarter 2 0 From elbcw to stifle 2 9 Fobe ExTBEiirrr, From ground to elbow 3 0 From ground to trapezium bid: of knee) 1 8J Width below knee 0 3 Width immediately above knee 0 4} Width of ami at elbow level 0 7 J Hind Extremity From ground to point of calcis (hockt 2 2 Width below hock 0 3k Width above bock (second tbigh or gaskin) 0 6i The Royal Commission on Horse-breeding, appoin'ed in 1 England, has obtained a lot of useful information from vet- erinary aurgeonSj trainers, etc. Dr. Fleming declares that ■ short distance races are the cause of a great deal of the in- crease in roaring, because the strain on a horse's windpipe is much more sudden in five furlong races than in longer ones. He also Bays that no horse should be raced until he iB three years old. Matthew Dawson, the famous trainer, differs from the worthy doctor, his opinion being that training and racing two-year-oldB in moderation tendB to develop them as animals, and improves them. The question of what consti- tutes hereditary unsoundness was considered, and it was de- cided that the following should render sires liable to dis- qualification for Queen's premiums;— Roaring, whistling, sidebone, ringbone.navicnlar disease, curb, bone spavin, bog spavin, grease, shivering, cataract. To these were added, under certain circumstances, splint, stringhalt, weak feet, contracted feet, brissal enlargements, such as thoroughpin and windgallB. Of all the horses inspected at Morris Park on Octoher 6tb, Racine probably attracted the most attention, says the Sport- ing "World. On all sides remarks were made about the "U estern record breaker. Before he was sent to the starting poBt the general verdict was that he looked big and course, and would be beaten before he had gone halfa mile, When he was seen in his reception box after the contest, however, he was looked upon as a wonder. In fact, the owners and trainers who had pronounced him unfit to race before the contest joined with hi3 lucky backers in Binging his praise after his perfor- mance. The trnth of the matter is that Racine did look very big and entirtly too fat to race successfully against well seasoned horses At least it so appeared to the ordinary ob- server, but thoBn who had Been him before he made his befit performances in the West pronounced hiru to be In the piDk of condition. There is no question but that Racine has run his best races when apparently high in flesb. In fact, he cannot perform when reduced to the same proportions as the average racer. He did not appear to be distressed in the least after his race, and when in the paddock acted more as though he had only been warmed up thin as though he bad been given a real race at a mile. "Don't he act like old Bishop, " was the remark to be heard on all sides while he was being cared for in his box. "I backed him," said a well known Western trainer, "because he was sent to the post so high in flesh." Again another in- dividual remarked that he backed the westerner because he felt confident that McCormick would not send his horse to the post unless he was in condition to make a good perfor- mance. Taken all in all Racine ran a remarkable race for a horse who appeared so high in flesh. He was not distressed in the slightest, and will show improvement the next time he rans, although over a dry track he will not sbow as good relative speed. Col. Robert Rivers, of the St. Charles Hotel, haB returned from the North brimful of turf news, and says the New Orleans Times Democrat of October 1st, is decidedly enthus- iastic over the prospect of the approaching winter meeting of the New Orleans Jockey Club. He sajs that the turf inter- est is booming everywhere this year and that horEe racing was never so universally popular iu America as it is to-day. At the Brooklyn meeting which recently closed, he had seen from 30,000 to 35,000 people attending the races in the pouring rain and when the track looked like one great sea of muddy water. Often the rain was falling so fast that the spectators could not distinguish the contending horses, but still tbey would turn out, rain or shine, and he was of opin- ion that the big tracks in the East would clear from 30 to 40 per cent, on the current season. There were so many horses running this year that New Orleans conld not help being well supplied. Last winter's meeting had proved satisfactory to both horsemen and bookmakers, and there appeared to be a general disposition on the part of both clasess, as well as backers and pleasure seekers, to spend the coming winter in New Orleans. At one time it bad been feared that many of the Western stables would be attracted to Hot Springs, Ark., and that an extra effort might be necessary to secure a good attendance of horses here, but on investigation it bad been learned that the runmrs about a winter meeting at Hot Springs were altogether without foundation and that Hot Springs would not have a race track this winter, to say noth- ing of a race meeting. According to present appearances. New Orleans shonld capture nearly all the stables nowin (he West, with a fair sprinkling of those in the East, and it is altogether probable that even the extensive stable room now at the track will be taxed to its utmost to meet the require- ments of the coming meeting. Though the exact date for the opening of the meeting has not been definitely fixed, Col. Rivers says it will be about tbe 15lh of November, or possibly a few days earlier. Col. Rivers is of opinion that the coming season of South- ern travel will be an exceptionally good one, and that it will open early, with New Orleans as the chief objective point. "I have no hesitation in predicting," said he, "tbitt the coming race meeting will be by a long way the most brilliant and successful ever held on the grounds of the New Louisi- ana Jockey Clob.r' In Bpeaking of the stables prettv sure to be represented here the name of Messrs. J. M. Brown & Co. was men- tioned. "Mr. Brown has been in great luck this year," said Col. Rivers. "He bnugbt Bobby Beach in Chicago for 5,000 and he must have won not less than $30,000 with him during the short time he has bad him East." Of Salvator he said: "Mr. Haggiu will never start Salva- tor again. He said of him: 'I have the fastest horse in the world aud I hive proved it, and I will retire him while he is unquestionably and indisputably the king of the turf." "Is Salvator faster than Firenzi?" "Uo to a mile and a quarter, yes; beyond that distance. no." 356 2£Ixje %xtt&zx anil jl ywxismm. Oct. 18 y Base Ball and Athletic Department. The California League GAMES PLATED AT HOME, OAKLAND, SACRAMENTO AND STOCKTON. OAKLAND vs STOCKTON. Friday, Oct. IOtfi, 1S90, at Oakland. This was the Stooktons game op to the Beventh, when a lucky bunching of hita in this inning gave the Oaklands a slight lead which they augmented by four tods in the ninth. It was a 6ne game all through both pitchers doing good work while the fielding was exoellent. The Stocktons opened well by scoring two in the first inning on Sslnas infield hit, Paches sacrifice on which Lohman erred, and Fudgers single back of 6eoond. They added another iu the third, on Selnas single to left center, Paches hit, a wild throw and Lohmans error of dropping a thrown ball to catch Selna at home. This was the extent of their run making. The Oaklands set the ball rolling in the fourth, Duogan leading off with a hot hit to short, taking seoond on Lohmans safeshot to center and both advancing a bag on C. O'Neills sacrifice. MoDonuld then flew to Hoffman who threw wildly, Duogan scoring. In the fifth, Cantillions base on balls, his steal and Dooleys double gave them another run. The seventh wasproductfull of two. MoDjnald let off with a single to left and went to third on Carseys single by Fogarty. Cantillion sacrificed and McDon- ald scored, Carsey making third A hit by Sweeney sent Car- sey home. In the ninth with two oat Perrott gave Cantillion Ms base on balls. Then followed some terrific hitting. Can- tillion stole second and scored on Dooleys second double. D Sweeney banged out a triple to right sending Dooley home. Dangan got his base on balls, stole second, and went to third on a passed ball on which Sweeney also scored. Loh- mans single tallied Dangan. Sweeney and Dooley led the hitting the former making three hits while Dangan made a brace of doubles.

SACRAMENTO vs SAN FRANCISCO. Friday, Oct. 10th 1S90, at Sacramento. This was a most stubbornly contested game, and took twelve innings to decide. For six innings neither side Bcored and in the seventh the Friscos made a ru.u. but were tied in the eighth. Both sides made one in the ninth, and so mat ters continued until the twelfth, when the Friscos made their third tally, winning the game. A very small crowd, scarcely more than one hundred people witnessed the play Harper, although receiving poor support, pitched a masterly game, allowing but two hits and sent four men to bases on balls. Lookabangh was touched up pretty lively and was very wild, giving eleven men bases on ba Is. The out field ing was especially fine, Roberts, Goodenoagb, McHale. Ste> vens and Levy making several splendid catches. Everett played a fine short, but McHale's catch in deep right and doubling up a runner at the plate, was the feature of the game. Stapleton resumed his position at first base. The first run was scored in the seventh, when Levy reached first on balls, stole second, went to third on Ward's wild throw and scored on Speer's sacrifice. Io the eighth Rei.z' triple and a sacrifice by Ward tied the score. In the ninth Goodenough hit a single, took second on Roberts' safe hit, third on a sacrifice and scored on Veach's error. In the last half Ebright hit for a triple and scored on Godar's error. No more runs were scored until the twelfth, al- though the home team had men on bases each inning. In tbat inning Speer reached first on balls. Lookabangh hit to Dily, who threw wild to Becond, Speer going to third and scoring on McHale's wild throw. Had Daly thrown the ball accurately a double play wonld have resulted and more inn- ings would probably have been necessary. Donahue um- pired an impartial game and gave satisfaction both to the teams and the audience. The score: Baobahbntos.

This game looked as though it would oertainly go to the Stocktons, for in the fourth inning they took a comfortable lead of three runs, but through errors of Armstrong and Hoffman were unable to keep it, and in the eighth inning O-ikland beat them out. It was a fine game to witness, how ever, being exciting and interesting all through. Kilroy and Shaw were the pitchers, and although thirteen hits appear against the Stockton pitcher, several of these were scratches. Stockwell was at^ the receiving end for Stockton, and did fairly well. Shaw pitched for Oakland, and by his dilatory tactics, greatly displeased the crowd. Holliday was the first man to cross the plate, coming home in the first inning through his being hit by a pitched ball, a wild pitch and Fadger's double. Hoffman had previously secured his base on balls, travellei to third on Fadger's hit, and scored on Armstrong's single to center. Fudger wa3 caught at the plate on throws by Sweeney to Shaw to Lohman. The Oakland's two in the first were made on Cantillion's hit to left, his steals of second and third, Dooley's single, Dongan's safe hit, Lohman's force and Dooley's clever steal home. Mc- Donald tallied in the second on his safe hit to right, went to second on Tip O'Neill being hit by pitohed ball, took third on Shaw's sacrifice and home on Cantillion's fly out to right. A base on balls, sacrifice and Cantillion's wild throw tied the score for Stockton in the third. When the Oaklands went to bat in their half of the eighth, they had to make two runs to win the game, and succeeded. Shaw struck out, but Can- tillion singled to center. Dooley sent a safety to 1 --ft, but Hoffman fumbled it, Cantillion making third and Dooley second; Sweeney's safe shot to center scored both men. The score: Oakland. ab.b. bh.sb.fo.a.

At 11 a. m . last Sunday the Emery grounds were crowded with Oakland enthusiasts to the number of five thousand. It was to be a great game and every one was on the tip-toe of expectation, of course hoping that theColonelB would win. But they were doomed to be disappointed as the Oaklands loBt, principally through the errors of their battery. Cough- lin was in the points for the Friscos and pitched fine steady ball, and was Bplendidly supported. Cobb twirled for Oak- land, and his high pitch in the eighth inning gave Friscos | the victory. The FriscoB Bcored in the third on Speer's force i hit, Congblin's single, a passed ball and a wild pitch. Ihey \ got another in the fourth on O'Neill's mofi of Stevens pop fly, I the ranner taking second and scoring on Everett's slashing 1 hit past short. The Oaklands made one in the BiSth. Can- . tillion hit safely, and on Dooley's interferihg with Veacb, i Cantillion made third. Sweeney's safe Bhot scored him. An- other was added to their Bcore in the eighth on Cantillion's double and Dooley's single. The Friscos won in their halt of the eight. Hanley beat out his infitld hit and took third on Steven's safety to right. Ebright was at bat, and O'Neill instructed Cobb to give Buck his base on balls. Cobb threw j to first ball high beyond Lohman's reach, and Hanley scored. I Stevens also, tallied on O'Neill's failure to slop Lohman's 1 throw, to head him off at third.

Saturday, Oct. 11th, 1S90, at Sacramento The Senators were again beaten in a brilliantly played game by the Friscos by a score of 3 to 1. Although the Sac- ramentos hit Coughlin bard, they were unable to place him safe, but five hits, one a home run, made by Roberts being gained agairst him. Hoffman was in the box for the Sena, tors and pitched steady ball, seven singles being made by the heavy slugging Friscos. Stapleton and Veach both played fine ball at the initial, the former figuring in two double plays. The general fielding was good, and tbat of Levy, Roberts and Stevens especially fine. Frisco scored two runB in the second, Everett and Speer tallyiog on Goodenough's joggle and wild throw to third. Hanley crossed the rubber in the eighth with the last run. Robeits was the only Sac- ramento player to make a run, his comiDg home in the fifth on his magnificent home run drive. Donohue umpired very successfully.

The largest crowd of the season was attracted to the Haight Street Grounds last Sunday. It was a gala day in baseball circles and each team had an immense number of supporters who with fish horns, cal iopes and rattles spurrei their fav- orities on to their utmost endeavors. The teams were late jn arriving and game was not commenced till twenty minutes to three. Carsey and Lohman were in the points for the Oaklands and the KidB wojrk was simply magnificent. Not a solitary hit was secured off him which was partly attribula- ble to the excellent support he received all round, Looka- baugb. pitched for the Friscos and did fine steady work el- lowing but six hits. He was well supported, four errors, thiee of which wereof a scratchorder.beingjmadeby his team. The in and outfielding was of an especially high order and brought forth round after round of applause. Everett at short was the star of the game, his stops of the rooBt difficult ground bails, and throwing being superb. McDonald, Eb- right, Dooley, Shea, N; O'Neill and Carsey alBo did some splendid infield work, and Sweeney and Hanley made bril- liant catches in the outfield. Runs were scored in two in* nings, the first and second. In the first, Cantillion led oft with a safety to left and on Levy's fumbling it, dashed to?sec- ond and reached third safely on Levys poor throw to Ever- | ett. Dooley was struck out. and Sweeney was retired on bis ; foul fly to Speer. Dungan then smashed a double between I left and center, and Cantillion scored. Lohman ended the I inning by flying out to Hanley, Blockers making a magnifi- cent catch. In the second, two hits and two sacrifices gave [ another ran. C. O'Neill hit safely to right, and was followed i by McDonald with another to the same garden. N. O'Neill I waB struck out, but Carsey hit one to Veach, who failed to throw quick enough to Lookabaugb to retire Carsey. Can- tillion then smashed a hard one to Everett who threw to Sbea foroing Carsey at second, and Shea doubled up Cantillion at first but C. O'Neill had already scored. Although players got on basflB afterward the most excellent fielding prevented further run making. The score: Totala 28 3 7 1 1!7 10 2 Totals....

Sunday, Oct. 12th, 1890, at Sacramento. The Saciamentos defeated Stockton io the afternoon in a hotly contei-ied game before a fair sized audience. Both teams used two pitchers. Sonny Hoffman was in the box for StocktoD at the commencement of the game, but only lasted a single inniog, as he was tonched up for fonr singles and gave three bases on balls. Kilroy finished the game, doing excellent work. Hoffman, of the Senators, was touched np pretty lively, and in the eighth was substituted by Harper, who didn't allow a hit. Goodenough's bbse running, Staple ton's hitting and Robert's outtielding were the principal feat- ures. In the first inning Goodenough went to first base on balls, Btjle sicond and reached third on Armstrong's error. Robeits got first on balls and scored on Stapleton's end Daly's singles. In the second Goodenongh hit a single and stole second and third. Roberts got first on Pache's error, and both Bcored on Stockwell's wild throw. In the fourth Goodenongh got first on Armstrong's error, stele second and scored on Stapleton's sirjgle. In the fifth Stockwell and Wil- son hit singles, Pache forced ont Stockwell and Ward muffed Kilroy's pop fly, tilling the bases. Holliday cleared the bases on a long drive for three bags. la the sixth a base ball, a steal, and Stapleton's single scored one for the home team. In the last half Armstrong's single and Wilson's double gave the visitors one. In the seventh the siogles of Holliday and Fndger, Hoffman's doable and Daly's error gave the last two runs of the game.

Fndger was in the bos fer the Gas towi-s, and was hit freely by the Sacramentos. The outfielders however saved him a number of hits by doing some fast work. Stockwell caught, doing fair work and throwing three men out at bases. Harper was in the box for Sacramento and did fine work, being remarkably steady and effective. He gaveone man base on balls and permitted bat three singles to be secured. Ward supported him well at the receiving end, and the fielding of his team was very good. The Stocktons also played a strong fielding game. Sicramento took a big lead in the third and steadily aug- mented it, while Stockton did not get a man across the plate till the seventh. The game was called at the end of the sev- enth inning to enable the teams to citch the tram for Sacra- mento. The score: Stockton-. ab behsp. po a e Sacs Goodenongh, c f. MEXTO.

Isaacson appeared on first base for the Friscos.and was well received. Both pitchers, Harper and Lookataogh, were hit ont lively, being bunched on heavily in an inning each and ten hits be- ing made by each team. In the first inning the FriscoB tallied five runs. Everett took his base on balls and went to third on Stapletoa aod McHale's error of Hanley's hot drive. Shea's single scored Everett aad Hanley. Ebright hit to center and weDt to third on Goodenough's error, Shea scoring. Isaacson's safety over Ward's head, gave Ebright a run and the new first baseman tallied onLavy's double to center. In the second, tbey made another. Oa Ward's famble Han- ley was safe, aod after stealing second crossed the rubber on Stevens splendid drive to right. The Senators secured one in the third, Roberts and Bowman taking first on balls, the former scoring on Stapleton's safety over second base. In the sixth, the Senators tied the score. McHale reached first on his base on balls and went to third on Reitz's hit to right. Harper's hit to the same field allowed McHale to tally, and Goodenough's hit over short sent both Reitz and Harper over the plate. On Robert's single to left Goodenongh tallied and Roberts took third on the throw in and Speer's error. Bowman's sharp drive to right tallied Robeits. In the aeventh the Friscos made their winning run. Stevens started off with a safe hit to right and Isaacson's sacrifice sent him to second. Ward's error or Speer's grounder gave Stevens his run. The features of the game weie Goodenoagh's hit- ting and McHale's splendid catoh of Shea's fly in the eighth inning. The score: San Francisco.

THE STANDING OF I HE (LIBS The 'Friscos have broke the chain which so long linked them with the Oaklands, and are now in inbisputed posses- sion of first place, although their advantage is only a tranei- tiry one. The Oiklands are but one game won behind, while Sacramento is a stroog third, with the most favorable chances of any team.

Goodenrugh now has a slight advantage over Shea in the base stealing race. The Friscos never fielded better or hit harder than they are doing just now. Bowman is now all right, and will hereafter do all the catching for the Senators. Charley Isaacson will most likely guard first base for the remainder of the season for ihe Friscos. Latham says that he can not tell whether he is a member of the Clan-na Gasl, the Locomotive Engineers' Brotherhood or the Nationalists. He jumped the American Association and joined the Brotherhood. Then he was released by the Players' League, and Bold by the American Association which he had jamped, to the National League. Now tii-t National League Club sells out to the Players' League, b> •( he goes with it. The following are the champion teams for the season rf 1890, and is complete with the tingle exception of the Cali- fornia League: Players' Leagne— Boston, National League — Brooklyn, American Association— Louisville, Western As- sociation—Kansas City, Atlantic Association — New Haven, Inter-State League— (West) Evansville, later-State League (East) HarriBburg, Tii-State League— Mansfield, Iowa-Illi- nois League — Ottumwa, Texas League— Galveston, North Pacific League — Spokane, International League— Saginaw, New York-Pennsylvania League — Jamestown. The grand National game of the American people will hard* ly stand another season of quarreling. It has already been lDJured to an immeasurable extent by the Kilkenny oat war- fare that has been in progress this season. Let the mag- nates on both sides swallow big gulps of their pride, meet each other and devise some means for bringing the fight to a close. Neither side has benefited one cent by the quarrel, the game has been almost ruined and the public is disgusted with the quarreling and bickenag. For the sake of base- all put your pride in your hip pockets, get together and fix ap some sort of a compromise. The eyes of the enthu- siasts are on you. If you want to keep base-ball on a bread- winning basis stop the tight. The sooner the better.— Cin- cinnati Eoquirer. Peek a boo Veach haB been suspended by Manager Finn. Little Willie Walter Bince bis return to this glorious State, is said to have formed a strong attachment for certain resorts that attract the weary but convivially indued ball toeber by means of a singulai combination of painting and printing on its outer walls. The landscape presented to view, though somewhat limited as to the space it occupies, is exceedingly attractive both from the force of the subject and the high coloring employed to produce the correct pffect. The view generally presented to the passing stranger represents a huge glass supposed to contain a yellowish red fluid overtopped with an abundance of creamy flakiness. The accompanying design is a large gilt V which is equivalent in Arabic to the figure 5. All this is significant that what the painting repre- sents is to be procured in reality on the inside for a realty in the shape of the burdensome "buck"nickle.To such places, presided over by a good natured, white aproned bomface is Peek supposed to wend his footstejs after a game, and once comfortably ensconced is loath to leave his pleasant sur- roundings. But whether this is so or not we cannot defin- itely state as it is merely hearsay. But it is certain thet the Friscos first baseman has been tardy on several occasions at practice. Wednesday morning the manager made his ap- pearance at the grounds and noting the absence of Peek's im- posing form from first, inquired, "Where's Yeach" ? Some one responded "In the club house, dressing." The manager then pulled ont his eight day Waterburj and hied himself to the club house wheie he met Veach coming ont. It was then after eleven and the players are supposed to be in uniform and on the field at 10.30. "You're late Yeach" was Finn's salutatioD. Will four or five minutes' late make you sick?" rejoined Peek. Finn's Tipperary temper arose and he eaid, "You are paid for being here on time and you'll have to live up to the rules; that's all there is about it." "Well," said Peek, "you're not talking to a Chinaman anyhow." This nettled Finn still more and he informed his jovial but erratic firBt baseman that he had better remove his traps from the club hou?e and the team conld get along very well without his practicing or playing. So the great and ouly Yeach is once more re- leased. Senatorial Scintillations. Everetts fielding at short last Sandfly was the grandest ex- hibition ever seen in that position on the local diamond. Dad C ark, Milt Whitehead and Jlsnk Cline have been re- served by their respective teams in the Western Aesociatiou, Tom Brown of the Bostons ranks second in base stealiog in the Players League, having pilfered 90 bases in 125 games. Stovey of the Bame team leads with 101 bases stolen. Kid CarEey's wondrous feat of shutting out the heavy slug- ging Friscos last Sunday without a hit or a ruD, will be re- membered as one of the greatest events in the history of the national game in California. Of the fourteen third basemen of the Western Association, Pete Sweeney ranked tenth with a fielding average of 840. Of the same number of shortstops Harry O'Day was sixth on the list with a percentage of 835, Nick Smith ninth, with 865, and Milt Whitehead fourteenth having a percentage of 839 . Jack Daly has been released by Saciamentoon acconnt of his weak throwing. The Sacramento management would have done a wise thing had they let Jack take a months vaca- tion and undergone the treatment his aim so much needed. By this time he would be in condition again, and just now his batting is most needed. The Sporting News says that on their way to the Coast Comiskeys teams will play exhibition games in Kansas City, St. Joe, Leavenworth, Omaha, Lincoln, Denver, Pueblo, Col- orado Spriogs, Leadvi le, Cheyenne, Ogden, Salt Lake, Boise City, Spokane, Tacoma, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Stockton and Fresno, reaching Frisco on Thanksgiving Day. "The pair of Jacks, " Fogarty and Wilson, are foremost among the few earnest players in the Stockton team. Both these players are in the game all the time, and there is nothing but what they make the most commendable effort for, and are frequently rewarded by making catches and Btop3 other players would never think of trying to get. Fogarty and Wilson deserve to be with a better team than the Stocktons. Matt Devfne on the Sacramento Malter§, Team and Oiber Joe Leveque has returned from Oregon and looks in splendid condition. Joe eays that base ball is all the rage in Oregon and Washington, and that the prospects are very rosy for the coming year. He pitched ten games for Salem, of which nioe were victorious, the losing one being to the Portlands, who secured nine hits off him. He speaks highly of hie treatment from the managers, plajers and people, and I eays next scison will find him twilling for the same tetm. [Special Correspondence.] Sacramento, October 15th, 1S90. Eijitoe Breeder and Sportsman: — After struggling hard to maintain their position in tbe League race, the Senators have had to succumb to the inevitable and have dropped into third place. This is very disheartening to the local crunks, who always expected that the Sacramentos would win in a canter, and that the Capital City would for once in its exis- tence be the proud possessor of a champion team. Although we are in third place, yet the chances for a better pusilion are very favora' le, and before the week closes we expect to see our club once more in a position their playing entitles them to. George Borchers has arrived in town and signed a contract to pitch the balance of the season for the Senator- ial aggregation. He is in splendid form and says that he in- tends pitching the ball of his life for the local team. Will we have a professional team next season? is tbe ques- tion that is at present aggitating tbe crauks. Some seem to think that Sacramento will be dead to professional tall for many years to come, but what their reasons are no one can find out. The hint is given however that the management has killed it. Uf course I am not a prophet, but if the at- tendance at the games in this city does not show up a great deal better than of late, I am inclined to think that the "fans" are correct in their surmises. If the worst mu&t come, let it come, but here's hoping that Sacramento will be alive to baseball for many seasons more. Genial Jack Daly has once more resumed his position at short, his arm having come around in shape. How is he playing his position do yon ask? Why. he's Eimply '-out of sight." I am glad to hear of the success of my two old players, Baltz and Hngti6s, in Valltjo, for a more gentlemanly and hard working pair you will seldom fiLd. I hope that tbe next time Colonel Robinson intends bring- ing a "band" with him to this place he will use better judg- ment and have some regard for the feelings of a crltured Sacramento audience. It is s t id tbat "music hath charms to sooth the savage breast," but the appaling noises of those Oakland "bazoos" would drive an educated poodle to strong drink. It is a sorry thing for the people of Oakland that the Legislature was not in session at the time the Oaklands play- ed the last two games here, for had that noble body gathered at the Capital City, an appropriation would surely have been made, out of consideration of the suffering people of Oakland, for the establishment of a private Insane Asylum away out in the woods where the "bazoo wind jammers" could ho! 1 their wild and weird discords far from the sight and hearn of man. ' Matt D. 358 2£ftje ^xtt&tt mid jSportstmrn. Oct. 18 The- Amateurs. The race for the amateur pennant now assumes a very interesting aspect. By the Burliogtons defeating the Santa Rosas Sunday, and the Vallejos winning, there is an excel- lent chance for the Marines making matters decidedly un- comfortable for the Sonoma boys. The Reports have been constantly retrograding, and are now bnt slightly in advance of the Will & Fincka. However, with first place an uncer- tainty, any of the four leading teams have a chance for sec- ond position. The new Burlingtons have done nobly since their admission, and even the Aliens are showing up in their best form of the 6eason. The record to date: Clues. 3 Will & Fincks E. T.

Aliens gained a decisive and well earned victory over the Daily Reports last Sunday. It was a splendid game, both pitchers doing very steady work. MoDet, how- ever was bunched on in the sixth, which, together with er- rors of the "Newsies," enabled the "Sports" to make four runs. The batting was heavy, but fine outfielding kept the hits down. The particular features were a splendid line catch of Philpot's back of second, Evatt's fine stop of a ter- rifically hit ball, Buckley catching the throw with one hand and retiring Sharp, the runner, and the clever outfielding of Cooney, Sharp and Deane. The Aliens made one in the first, Broderick going to first on Green's error in failing to catch his third strike, taking second on a poor throw and third on Gormley's error in letting the ball pass him. Evatt's sacri- fice scored Broderick. In the third, the Reports made two rans. Green was assisted out at firot by Evatt. Monet then hit a liner to Philpot, who stopped the ball but could not re- cover. After being chased up and down between first and second, Monet secured the middle bag safely. John Thomp- son then hit to Evatt, who made a bad break, trying to touch out Monet, and both men scored on Broderick's wild throw over first of Duupby's grounder. In the fifth, the Reports made another on Mclntyre's base on balls, Thompson's safe hit to third, and scored on Dunphy's Bingle. The Sports won in the sixth. Geishaker was safe on J. Thompson's fumble. Walcott hit to Monet, who threw to Merve Thomp- son to catch Geishaker, but the second baseman dropped the ball. Broderick's pretty single to center scored both Geisha- ker and Walcott, Broderick reaching third on the throw in, the ball taking a very awkward bound. Evatt's two base hit to center sent Broderick over the plate, but in trying to steal third Evatt was neatly caught. Buckley then hit safely past short and stole second. Cooney took his base on balls and each moved up a base on a passed ball. Philpot sacrificed, but Monet fumbled the ball, Backley scoring, but Cooney was nailed at the plate on Hearty's throw home. Billings ended the inniDg by tiyiDg out to Sharp. Four runs however and a lead of two were added to the Sports' string. In the eighth, the Newsies scored their last run. Dnnphy hit safely to left just inside foul line, and Deane let ball pass him, Danphy goiog to third. Sharp bit to Evatt, who made a poor throw, and Dunphy tallied. Gormley flew out to Cooney, and Merve Thompson was safe on Evatt's error, Thompson was caught at first on Billings' throw, and Hearty ended the inning on his pop fly to Philpot.

Thoy played a superior game to their opponents in hittiny, fielding and base running. The Giants played what would usually be termed a strong game, bnt their errors were costly and their hitting light. Sprague occupied the points for the Marines and Sullivan did the twirling for Warren's men. Sprague only allowed four hits and did not send a single man to base on balls. Sullivan was touched up for seven hits, four of which were long ones. He disposed of ten men on strikes. Levy supported Sullivan in great shape and Farrell handled Sp age's delivery very ac- ceptably. In the absence of Frank and Lonny Delmas, Mc- Inness and Kavanagh were substituted, the latter making the Giants only run, Detraze, late of the Seattle team, played a clever first for Warren's men. Two magnificent double plays, participated in by Levy, Dextraze, Tillson and Deeny, were noteworthy features, as was the perfect infield- ing of Murdock, Magnire, Hughes and Smith. Wm, Kelly, an old time player, officiated as umpire, and filled the posi- tion very successfully. The score: Will & Fincks. ab b.bh bb.po.a. e Kavanagh, r f.. 4 Tillson, a a 4 W.

Sunday, Oct. 12th, 1S90, at Santa Rosa. The prospective champions were downed last Sunday by the new "Railroaders." It was a good game in which the Burlingtons did the beBt batting. Rohan was in the box for the visitors, and kept them guessing all through. He re- ceived fine support from Wilds and his infield, but the out- field was somewhat shaky. Gallen was unable to play and Hulen went in the box, causing a change in the intield of the team. Stulz went to third, Scooney of Port Townsend play, ing the initial, and Reilly took Hulen's place at second; Ar- lett played short. These changes did not effect the game to any extent, as all the players were equally as capable of field- ing their new positions as their former ones. Gimmel play- ed a fine field, hut dropped a ball after a long run. McCarthy made a sensational catch in center, and Pace did good services behind the bat, being especially strong in throwing to bases. The Burlingtons took a big lead in the fifth, and were never overtaken, Pete Meegan umpired, giving good satisfaction, Gimmel waB fined §5 for disput- ing a decision. The score: Santa Rosxb.

Vallejo is coming to the front. Blondie CMlen is on the sick list. Billy Hulen is quite a pitcher himself. The Young Giants are now in great playing form. Billy Hulen and Joah Reilly are said to be great ohums. Joe Leveque will finish the season with the Will & Finoks Billy Cooney played a splendid middle tield for the Sports Sunday. Gormley is again with the Reports, and has been appointed captain. The Detroit Amateur team has won the championship of the country. Jack Rohan had the Santa Rosas pretty much at his mercy last Sunday. Speedy Mac says he will pitch the game of his life against Santa Rosa to-morrow. Billy Kennedy is now rapidly convalescing and expects to be able to resume playing in a couple of weeks. Billy Billings oaught Walcott in splendid style Sunday and threw exceptionally well to baseB. Buck HugheB is putting up a great game around the mid- dle cushion for the Marines. Vallejo and Santa Rosa have two more games to be played with each other, and they will be "hummers." Aleck Bradley did not play with Santa Rosa last Sunday- Josh Reilly played his position in good shape. The "old war horse" Joe Murdock is putting up as tines game as any of the young blood on the difficult corner. Billy Gimmel was fined a "fiver" last Sunday for disput- ing Pete Meegan's decision. "Gim" has been "docked of- tener than any player in the league. Al Scooney who is said to be a clever young inlietder and who has until recently been with the Port Townsends,played a fine first bag for Santa Rosa Sunday. Frank and Lonny Delmas missed the boat last Sanday, and their absence considerably weakened the team. Mclnnesg and Kavanagh, twu Vallejo players, filled the vacancies. LaRoohe is the name of the Keports' new manager, Hen Ashman having resigned. Hen probably found out that a manager's life, like that of a policeman, is not a happy one. The bitter feeling that existed between the Vallejo people and Rohan and Wilds, has been completely wiped out by this battery doing suoh effective work against Santa Rosa Sunday. Dave Creamer has been released from the Reports and it is said that Sharp and Danphy are at liberty to accept engage- ments. Here are three fine players that there ought to be a scramble after. There are now four Kellys in the amateur ranks. Tom Kelly of Santa Rosa, Billy and George Kelly of the Burling- tons, and Win. Kelly of the old Valiejo Red Stockings, now officiating as umpire. Manager Keller says he will have a winning team next year. All lnck to you Paul. Your team should have been a winner from tbe start this year, but you were too indnlgent towards the other managers. However, experienee is a great teacher. There are several professional players now playing with the amateur teams in and around San Francisco. They are Tom Buckley, Billy Cooney, S.-otty Evatt with the Aliens; Vie Monet with the Reports; Joe Murdoek, Andy Smith and Baltz with Vallejo; Billy Farrell, Dave Levy and Dextraze with the Will & Fincks; Al Scooney and Josh Reilly with the Santa Rosas; Ben Hill with the Suisnn .Etnas; Matt Stanley, Jack Cullen and Brittan with the Fresnos; and Charley Chase with the Merceds. The Aliens go to Sinta Rosa Sunday prepared to play the game of their life. They have met the Santa Rosa boys six times this season, and have been defeated in every game. If the Sports win this game, Manager Keller will be the happi - OBt man in the coantry. His team will be the same as the one which defeated the Reports last Sanday.and if they use a little judgment, the Santa Boat boys will have to play ball to beat them. MoDonald will pitch for the Sports, and if he is wild or hit hard, Walcott will be substituted. SCHEDULE OF GAMES -OF THE— CALIFORNIA Base Ball League SEASON 1890.

Athletic Sports and Other Pastimes. EDITED BY AEPHIPPDB, SUMMARY. The handicap runs of the Olympic and Athletic clubs which were decided on Sunday lust were in every way a grand success, lhe Athletic3 are beginning to lake a genu- ine interest in both in and out door sports, and competition will be keen from now on. The result of nest year's championship meeting may prove a big surprise to the 6port loving public. Last May the fight was somewhat one-sided, bot in 1891 the probabilities are that some of the crack amateurs will. have chauged their colors. Certain it is, how- ever, that tbe*Alpine representatives will enter into the com- bat with more if a) vim than they did on the occasion of the last meeting on May 30th. IN THE SURF. Miss Krlly, the yonng lady in charge of the Shelter Cove Baths at North Beach, reports that the cold weather is not at ail interfering with the attendance at that institution. She states that never before at this time of the year wrts the attendance at the taths as large as it is at the present time. The Palace and Crystal baths are crowded nightly. Dor ing the week the teachers are kept unusually busy instruct- ing the new pupils that are flocking in as thick as the fog into the Golden Ga*e on a winter's night. The Tenace. baths at Alameda are still doing a fine busi- ness. The young members of the Tenace Club will continue to practice all through the winter and spring. The Alpine Club may hold a swimming tournament for members of the club at the Sheltered Cove Baths before long. THE GAME OF CRICKET. The Alameda, Pacifio and Burnaby clnbs have leased the West End grounds at Alameda for two years. Weather per- mitting, the game will be practiced all the year round. Messrs. John D. Neild, Rogers, Curtis and Winters of the Alameda Club are inveterate players, and when they face the bowlers the score usually takes a big jamp. Charley Hill and John Theobald are etill in the field, and next year these old Merrion Club champions will be heard from. Captain Rodgers, of the steamer Encinal, says that he is getting too old to handle a boat, but it makes his heart beat with delight when the "Alamedas" are on top, which is near- ly always the case. Most of the Cricketers are good baee ball players. The Alameda and Paoitic clubs were matched at the WeBt End grounds last Saturday afternoon. Thanks to steady practice, the team from across the water had things all their own way. The attendance was not very large, but the orowd was very profuse in its applause when any good batting was done. The following is the summary of the play: PACIFIC CLUE.

Last Sunday afternoon several members of the Carleton Opera Company visited the quarters of the Dolphin Swim- ming and Boating Club. The guests were treated to a row on the bay in the eight oared barge John Willnrd, which was manned by a crew of club members. The singers expressed their regret at not being able to attend the ball of the club which will be held at Saratoga Hall on the evening of the 25th. Captain Phtlan of the amateur crew of the Ariels has just begun to practice single sculling. He was out on Sunday and for an initial effort his progress was first claes. ■ In view of the resolution adopted at the last meeting of the Pacific Rowing Association to the effect that in future thd principal event at all regattas held under its auspices will be a four oared shell race, the Pioneer Club has organized the following crew: Charles Long, captain (bow) John T. Sullivan (stroke) Dan Leahy (aft) M. Stokes (ford). The Pioneers will back this crew against any other in the State. The following officers have been elected by the Pioneer Rowing Club to serve for the next 'year: P H McDonald, President; W C Espy, Vice-President; R J Espy, Secretary; JP McDonnell, Treasurer; Wm. Ellis, :Sargeant-at-arme; H Stokes. Captain; D Leahy, Vice-Captain; Trustee", R Crowley, James Brennan. M Long. Delegates to the Pacific 'Rowing Association: W C Espy, J T Sullivan, John Stan- ton. ■ The club had a very successful anniversary at Hunter'B Point on Sunday last. Eugene Flanders of the Ariels atd H O Farrell, Secretary of the Pacific Bowing Association arc about to organize a ( Naphtha steam launch club. The membership will be lim- ited to twenty. All persons desiring information should ap ' ply to Eugene Flanders, 1148 Market St., 8an Francisco. Although the water was in good order and the weather warm but few of the South End oarsmen were out on Sun- day. Many of them went over to Tiburon and Sausalito in search of smelt and rock cod, and the racing shells lay idle ill day. On Thanksgiving Day there will be a match single bcuII raee at Long Bridge. The conise will he a mile straight away. Tbe following will compete; Sullivan. Long, Leahy and White of the Pioneers; Growney and C. Peterson of the £?jelB; Griffin and; Tbom&S of the South End?, THE WHEEL The joint run of the American Bicycle Club and Garden City Wheelmen to Niles Canyon on last Sunday was well at- tended, and the boys all had a good time. Almost any afternoon except Sunday small parties of young ladies may be seen taking tandem exercise in Golden Gate Park. "Walter Fisher, R. A. Smythe. Harry Williams, Harry Pot- ter and C. Konke, five members of the Alameda Bicycle Club, took a ride to Menlo Park last Sunday. They report the roads in fair condition. The Alameda B. C. will give a grand ball about November 7th. The following have been appointed a committee to make arrangements for the occasion. Mesars. Haoh-y, Heb- bard, Burrell, Culver and White. A run of the club will be held to-morrow to Bolenas. Members are requested to take the 7 o'clock boat from Ala- meda. For the first time doring the season Charley Culver and his friend Will Hebbard gave their wheel a Sabbath rest last Sunday. Sines the Alameda Bicycle Club moved to its new quarters the membership has been rapidly increasing, and the mem bers are confident that before another year the club will be able to erect a fine building of its own. The wheelmen are anxiously awaiting for farther informa- tion in regard to the proposed Mechanics' Pavilion tourna- ment of the Bay City Wheelmen. Ondit that several of the local riders are about to purchase pneumatic-tired wheels. A meeting of members of the California Division League of American Wheelmen will be held at Welcome Hall, Odd Fel- lows Bnilding, corner 7th and Market Streets, on Satrnday, Nov. 1, 1890, at 8 p. m. On the following day, Sunday, a run through Golden Gate Park and Presidio Reservation will take place. Tbe start will be made at 10 o'clock a. m. from the hall. The Bay City wheelmen will hold a club run to Redwood City and return to-morrow. Tbe start will be made from 21st and Mission Streets at 8:15 a. m. Tbe pace will be made easy and all wheelmen are invited to join in the run. A tine dinner will be specially served for the wheelmen at the new hotel. UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS, The Associated Students held a meeting last week, when an assessment of $1 50 per capita for athletic expenses was levied. An assessment of $2.50 was levied on each class team to buy baseballs. Regular exercise in the gymnasium began last week. Fred C, Cleft, the walker, who is at present traveling in Europe will return about November 15th. The handsome relay trophy presented by ex-President Da- vis, has been properly mounted and placed in a conspicuous place in the library. A scroll has been added on which to keep a record of the relay races. The athletes will make a big effort to capture the cham- pionship flag in 1891. The cinder path will shortly be put in good condition. It is the intention of several of the students to take light out- door practice during the winter months. The gymnasium is now supplied with apparatus of im- proved manufacture, and hot water has been added to the baths. The dressing rooms are also heated, and a fine run- ning track has just been finished. In door contests will be held during the winter, and medals will be awarded for com- petitions. The Field Captain will organize his team early next year bo that he will be able to coach the men who intend fighting the battle on next Decoration Day. The Board of Directors of the Tennis Club have taken steps to have the courts pnt in order. Tbe following officers have been elected by the I niversity Lawn Tennis Club: President, J. Garber; Vice-President, Warren Only: Secretary, W. D Chapman; Treasurer, J. Leabbert; Directors, Messrs. Palache, Blake and Sedgwick. Ed Van Dyke '92 and Todd '94 were slightly hurt in the foot-ball game last Wednesday. TheV. C. may be represented by one or two men at the ooming boxing tournament. It is not at all improbable but that the stadentB will follow the example set by the Olympic and Alpine Clubs by holding weekly handicap races for prizes. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. Ambition is the stepping stone to fame. During its last days in the Eureka Turn Verein Hall on Powell St. the Al- pine Amateur Club was in a very bad condition and I was vet y mnch afraid that this promising young club wonld not be able to ijnll through. After the first board went out of office) things did not seem to run as smoothly as before but thanks to the ambition of President Farrell, Secretary Stein- way, privates Lang and King and last but by no means least Field-captain Johnny Garrison the organization earmouuted its difficulties and is ot the present time existing on a very solid foundation. I paid a visit to tbe Olympic grounds last Sunday and it pleased me to see so many athletes stripped. Smiling George W.Hnpere, who has lately indentified him- self with the Olympics waB jumping around like a six months old lamb and judging from the happy grin on his face I think the traok came up to his expectations. Four or five years ago George was a great "half miler" and it he should take it in his head to train again the chances are that he will win a medal at the next ohampionship games. Peter Mclntyre was kept busy all day attending to the gate. Pete was so careful of "his boys" that every lime any one entered the grounds tbe good natured son of Scotia would shout "close the gate" least an extra zephyr would enter. X was mnch pleased at the surroundings of the grounds. The grass is now well above tbe earth which gives the place a handsome appearance. The flower beds make a very pleas- ing effect and I think the boys should take a great delight in lounging around their Paradisical home. I dropped into the gymnasium of the Olympic Club the other evening, and conld not help exclaiming: O temporal O Mores! What a difference now in the attendance towards when Charley Wittram used to run "his mile" every night in ten minutes, and then retire to dream of his future chance of becoming America's greatest runner. There mnat have been at leaBt one hundred members exercising, and the exhibition given by some of them made my hair fairly stand on end. So much for tbe careful couching of skilled professors. After all, I think dear old 'Frisoo, for its population is one of the moat fitblerio cities ih the TTnited fttatee. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. C. Simmons and Arthur Blake, who were arrested on a warrant sworn out by J. H. Boyd, who accused them of hav- ing cheated him out of $250 in a foot race which came off at the Bay District track, in which Fred A. Redmond and George W. Miett ran, were recently exonerated, it having been proved that the contest was on the square. Secretary E. Phil Moody, of the Alpine Club, contradicts the statement recently made in the columns of the Morning Call, to the effect that he bad joined the army of benedicts. Phil informs us that after reading the announcement his "best girl'' pot mad at him, and now he is in a bad fix. Harry Casidy, of tbe Alpine Club, was at the Olympic grounds on bunday looking fur Frank Cooley. That worthy was not there when Mr. Casidy arrived, and so the Alpiniie was obliged to return to San Leandro without having a chance to interview hie old opponent. Mr. Casidy states that the challenge in his behalf, offering to run Cooley two miles, which appeared in the columns of a daily paper, was put in without his knowledge or consent, and he says that he only desires to meet Mr. Cooley in a one-milbraceas he previously announced through the columns of the Breeder and Sports- man. A representative of this paper met Mr. Cooley on Pine street on Wednesday laet, and this is what passed between the two: "Why did you not answer Casidy's challenge offer ing to run you a mile, which appeared in "the Breeder and Sportsman several weeks ago?" "I was willing to mn him, but at the time I did not have any money to put up I was sorry that I did not see him on Sunday, for I heard he was looking for me. I am sure he would have made a match there and then. Unfortunately I sprained my ankle since then, and it will take at least a coople of weeks to mend. I will be only too happy to meet Mr. Casidy and arrange for a one-mile race with him for a medal or trophy, which must not be too expensive, for at the present time I am not a capi- talist. I think I will be able to race him about the middle of next month. If he would like it better I will go him a series of three races, say, one, three and five mileB." The amateurs are all anxious to see a match made between the two men, for opinion differs as to which is the speediest for a mile. The outsiders who won medals at the last Field-day of the Alpine Club on Hay 4th, will receive their prizes in about two weekB. The medals are now being made. The Woman's Club for Physical Culture is making rapid progress. New members are being daily added to tbe roll. The members exercise in the gymnasium of the Olympio Club, whose professors have been engaged to assist the fair ones in learning how to swing clubs, fence, etc. "The Olympic Club has decided to uniform its members'* — Daily Report, October 15th. The Sporting editor must have been at a political meeting the night before he wrote the above. We understand that tbe servants are to be uniformed, but the uniforming of the members is something new to us. Regarding the coming boxing tournament the Secretary of the Olympic Club has issaed the following circular to all the members: Dear Sir: You are advised that this tournament will be held for the special amusement and instruction of members of this club. Yoa are aware that these events are expensive and the club cannot afford to throw them open to the public. No invitations therefore will be issued, and members are re- quested to keep this notice in view, particularly as the tour- nament will extend over a period of weeks. Gentlemen who (from this date up to the 5th of November) may apply for membership under the usual conditions will be admitted as guests of the club. It is necessary that our membership should be increased, and unless we conserve our entertainments we are not likely to gain the desired increa=e. I am, d ar sir, etc., W. E. Hollowat, Secretary O. A. C. "Francisco" (Mrs. Bunker) in last Saturday's Daily Report wrote rather desparagingly of the Smoker Concert recently given at the club rooms of the Olympic Club. Here is a speci- men of her remarks. If we expect any .domestic freedom in the year parsing and to come we must sit down on him at once. We have brought about this callousness in man by giving way, when a gentle instance of the respect due us would have placed a layer of gentle manliness on our, in many cases, careless husbands. When a man asks me if smoking is offensive I always incline to the reply, "I do not know; no gentleman has ever smoked in my presence." When I ask a man to light his cigar it is because there is reason and excuse for his smoking. But for a club of men to dedicate an evening to the deliberate pnffiog of cigar smoke into the faces of women they profess to respect is a triSe too "good-fellowish." So women of Olym- pia, again I 6ay to yon put down the "smoking concert." If you turn on the hose of common sense yon will pnt out the cigar tire at perhaps sa>all expense. If not the little smoke may a great fire kindle 'that not even the Olympics can quench. "Have yonr "smoking concerts," men, but don't insult your wivea and women friends by invitations thereto. Every man in the land tells his wife that there are certain things she should know nothing about. The "smoking con- ceit" is surely one of them. Messrs. Lang and Steinway, of the Alpine Club, are hard at work preparing themselues for the coming boxing tourna- ment. Every evening the pair may he seen at the Central Park Club rooms practicing tbe '"Sleinway swing." Last Tuesday night Steinway got his blow properly focused and the result was that Laug suddenly found himself on Market near ninth. His negligee costume excited much curiosity and one of the fair exhibitors who was passing tried to cap- ture tbe surprised boxer for bis booth in the pavilion. Mr. Lang is somewhat of a sprinter, however, and he covered the block between where he landed and the club rooms in five seconds. Dooley, of the Alpines, will enter the light-weight class. While sparring recently Mr Dooley slipped and hurt his leg He expects to be all right again when the time comes round. Last Wednesday, an evening paper printed a picture of James Jervis, the amateur champion walker. Tbe biography which appeared beneath the picture is certainly a very clever piece of composition. Mr. Jervis is a very square walker and it must certainly have been a surprise to him to be told that he walked a mile in ScotWad, in 13S4, in 7min. Bsecs., "runniog very easy." The sketch also stated that Jervis "won some good handicaps, off short marks, one of the best performances for lhe reason bring tbe rnnning of the two- mile handicap at Staylebridge of tbe -10 yard mark.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE Sept. 13th to Oct. 25th NO. PAC. INDUSTRIAL, PORTLAND Sept. 26th to Oct. 25th LOS ANGELES— 11th Annual Fair October lith to 18th Elements of Success. The history of the many meetings held over the country during the now closing season for racing, plain- ly indicate the cause of failure, where failure has occurred, and with equal certainty point out the causes which have contributed to success where it has been most marked. The bistory'of racing in this respect is but the repeti- tion of that of every organization which caters to the public for patronage. The public are always critical and severe in the con- demnation of any organization which seeks to foist upon it anything which savors of unfairness or of fraud. The eagle is not more keen of glance. Nothing of this na- ture escapes the public eye, as some organizations have found to their loss and humiliation. Racing for years has teen steadily gaining in the esti- mation of the public, and any organization in which the public confidence is reposed, caa have but little cause for complaint for treatment received. On the other hand the meetings of such organizations are almost invaria- bly attendel with the most satisfactory results. Even though a person have not one penny's interest in the result of a race there is found to be a natural and strong desire for fair play, which if contravened or per- verted by any acts uf the officers in charge or by any one else, will bring down udou their heads an avalanche of contumely and opprobrium which they cannot avoid, nor long successfully withstand. It is with jo small degree of pride that we are enabled to state that in every well established organization for the improvement of the horse, that "sharp practices" are becoming less and less frequent, and the demand for fair and honorable conduct, is becoming more and more of an essential element. In short, we believe fully, that there is to-day as much of fairness and uprightness in all well regulated organi- zations for testing the speed of horses, as there is to be found in any of the other avenues of commercial and business life. Wheneyer fraud is shown it is speedily condemned and almost arbitrarially puuished. Fair and honest endeavor never fails to receive its merited commendation and reward. The liberty-loviog and fair-minded people of this country will countenance no other methods. The universal cry is "a fair field and no favors, and may the best horse win.' ' One of the important questions which should occupy the attention of our national legislators is the one relat- ing to a system of national parks. We have no adequate parks. Nothing whatever save the Yellow Sione Park, and that is only one and by far too small to be dignified, or classed as a park provid- ing for the wants of a nation, like that of ours, which is annually growing larger and larger in numbers. If one person out of every 1,000 of our population should visit this park once a year, it would cease to be a park in the true sense of the word, and an army of police would be required to warn them to "keep off the grass!" Hun- dreds of thousands of acres within the mountains are practically useless for any other purpose than parks. Nature has suggested these districts for this purpose, and we owe it to posterity to see that they are secured for this purpose. There is only an occasional piece of land that could be used for homesteadiug, and these, if imrroved, would only serve, in a limited way, for providing for the en- tertainment of man and beast, when on excursions to these natural parks. The proper preservation and adap_ tation of these otherwise barren and useless regions, can only properly be done under the national protection. It should be djne now, before the already scantily clothed mountains are denuded of the timber which is growing upon them. The streams should be preserved, which can only be done by preserving the forests. They should be stocked with fish. The game should be pre- served, to which end, game wardens, appointed under supervision of the Sdcretary of the Interior, should be created. It will be a great loss to future generations, as well as to those of the present, if some measures are not provided to preserve the mountains with their wealth of beauty and their abundance of game and fish. The legislator who takes the initiative in this matter will have for his monument the everlasting hills, and the grateful tribute of all successive generations to his honor. The opportunity is ripe aud should not bj neglected. California has at least ample room for at least one such park. Nevada, Utah and Colorado also present like op- portunities. Homestakf' seems to have opened the eyes of many of the attendants at the "Napa races. The Sportsman's Month. This is the sportsman's favorite month. All field sports are in their prime, and the surroundings are all that could be desired for rendering an outing most pleas- urable. All classes of game are reported more than usually plentiful, excepting ducks. Quail, snipe and grouse are found in abundance and afford an unlimited supply of interesting hunting. The rains have been frequent enough of late fo place the fields and covers in excellent condition for the dogs to work over with the best of results. From all over the State are heard splendid results of field sporting. The nobler species of game, especially deer, are found to be quite plentiful, and the more hardy nimrods are having more than their usual share of sport of this royal class. Some splendid sport is reported to have recently been en- joyed in the northern part of the State, and in the south- ern districts of Oregon. The deer are in excellent con- dition. Black bear are reported numerous in the moun- tains east of Chico and Bed Bluff, but few of our hun- ters have lost any game even of this semi-domesticated class of the bear family, and consequently but few of our hunters are searching for them. Food is abundant, aud the birds are in fine condition, strong of wing and exceedingly active. The better sport, however, will come on later in the season, when the birds become more wary and require more care, in both hunter and dog, in approaching them. Blood 'Horse Fall Meeting. The Pacific Coast Blood Horse Association has since its organization been recognized at home and abroad as the leading racing association west of the Rockies. The Fall programme, which was issued last week by the Di- rectors, give spromise of a highly interesting meeting, and it is hoped that with favorable weather the public will turn out in greater numbers than of late. The meeting will be held at the B*y Distriot Track on No- vember 22d, 2otb, 27th aud 29th, 1890, and all race horse owners should recollect that entries close on Mon- day, November 3rd. The coming Chicago Horse Show, which opens on November 1st and closes November 8th, gives promise of being an unusually interesting event. Upwards of $20,000 is guatanteed in prises, and everything points to a highly satisfactory and interes'ing meeting. The well knowo names of Potter Palmer, R. H. McOormick, Cans Schwartz aud H. J. McFarl'and, officers of the Associa- tion, are a sure guarantee of ft successful gathering. The Pride of California. California has just reason to be proud over the achievements accredited her on the turf for the season. Her banners are being hung on the outer wall. Wbere- ever her horses have been entered they have succeeded in winning many of the very best races of the year. Leading horses of other sections have been beaten on on their own courses. Records, deemed secure by horsemen, have been broken, and the names of the lead- ing flyers on the track are now inseparably connected with California. Her horsemen are smiling and happy and bear their honors with becoming modesty. It is therefore excusable for the Bheedeii and Spokesman, which has contended so earnestly and long for the Cali- fornia horse, to indulge in a few comments of congratu- lation, not to say boasting, on the achievements of the immediate past. But a few years ago the leading interest in turf sport- ing matters was largely conceded to Kentucky, but the advancement of civilization, and the population of new States, has removed the pivotal point of American indus- tries and enterprises of many leading natures from their former centers. Advancement has been made every where — all over the country — but we may be pardoned for calling attention to the record, which of itself affirms more potentially than any words of ours can do, that in the breeding, developing and culture of the horse, Cali- fornia stands head and shoulders above all would-be competitors. We take this occasion to congratulate the horsemen o! the State on this splendid state of affairs, and to adi that the results secured and the records made are special cause of gratification to this journal. : Farmers' Law and Order Clubs. If we could be so fortunate as to impress the farmers of the State with the idea that it is of more importance to them, than to any other class of the community, that the game and fish laws should be rigidly enforced, we would accomplish a leading and important measure. We do not mean that the farmers, as a class, are given to disregard the statutory provisions in this respect, far from it, for they are among our most law abiding citi- zens. What we do desire to bring prominently before them is the fact that as they are living nearer the game districts than any other class of people, they are in a po- sition to derive more of the benefits arising from the use of game and fish than any other of our citizens, and at thesametime are in a position to detect the violations of the law more readily. The farmers of Ohio have formed a Farmers* Law and Order League with the intention of affording protection to the game. The organization has for its object the enforcement of the law and the discour- agement by all fair and reasonable means of the wanton destruction of game. It would be well for the game in- terest of this State were such organiza'ions established here. It is an erroneous idea, too frequently held by the farmers, to suppose that the action of sporting clubs are in any sense in conflict with their interests and the beBt interests of the State. Game Preserves. There seems to us to be a very wide and unnecessary difference of opinicn relative to th» matter game pre- serves. The main point at issue, which all true sports- men will at once concede, is the preservation of the game. The means by which this may be accomplished is of secondary consideration, bo long as the main objeot is attained. All men are human, exceedingly so, and it must be admitted that some men and some organizations carry out the meaning whic*i this term implies, to a degree of selfishness which is mean and coutomptible. But what are we to do? Shall we say because some clubs are penurious and exceedingly selfish in exercising author- ity over their preserves that we will object to them entirely, and thus cut down and utterly destroy about the only means extant for the preservation of gamer We think every true sportsman will be slow in arriv- ing at such a conclusion. Questionable results have followed the formation and action of large aud influential bodies of men, whose objects and purposes, in the main, have been to preserve the game and fish within their districts. If they do enjoy some especiil privileges, docs not their work and expenditure entitle them to itt' Let it be understood that first, last and all the time, we are in favor most heartily of any and all plans which give promise of proving effectual in stopping the whole- sale slaughter and destruction of game of every charac- ter. Private enterprise has always preceded public action along all the more prominent questions of refor- mation, and wo doubt, not wilt. continue to do <*a in this particular field.. 1890 %\xt ^xzz&zx atxtl jlpxrrtsmatr.. 361 Grim'e Gossip. I). M. Reavis will sell a large consignment of trotting horses id New York nest February. It is about definately nettled that Mr. Corbitt will have a string of trotters in the East next year.

The well known Bob Stewart of Kansas City, will winter all of his celebrated trotters in California tnis comiD£ win- ter. Racquet, the black gelding formerly owned by Mr. Havers of this city, is now a ringer in the slow classes throughout New York state under another name. President Green of the State Agricultural Society was one of the judges on Thursday, Mr. Loeber stepping out of the stand, as he had an entry in the four-year-3ld race. The "Kicking Stakes" is likely to prove a walk over. The San Jose entry was favorite for a long time, but a dark horse cropped up on Wednesday, and last payments have not been made on any of the others. McDowell will leave for Montana almost immediately after the Napa meeting, and bring to California a lot of trotters which he will winter here preparatory to taking them back on the Eastern Circuit next year. Andy McDowell declares that Cricket U the fastest pacer on earth, and that 2:10 is no measure of her speed.

Weather Splendid. The first event was a Beries of heats to decide a 220 yard handicap run. There were three heats and a final. The first and second man in each heat was allowed to enter the final heat. The starters, fifteen in number, were star- ted as follows: First heat — John W. Creagh 7 yards; H. C. Casidy 12 yards; H. Coleman 15 yards; W. Edgar 15 yards; W. F. Vollmer IS yards. Ureagh and Mahoney ran a dead heat. Time 23 2-5 seconds. Coleman third. Second heat — A. Cooke 14 yards; J. J. Larkey 11 yardo; C, Armbruster 18 yards; C. W. lleyer 15 yards; G. Bishop 15 yards. Meyer won first. Time 212-5 seconds. Charles Armbruster second. Third heat — John D. Garrison scratch; E. P. Mordy 10 yards; J. Gawne 15 yards. Gawne won first. Time 232 5 seconds. Garrison second. Final heat — Gawne firBt. Time 23 2-5 seconds. Mahoney second, Meyer third, Armbruster fourth. Four prizes were given. The winner, J. Gawne, is a new man, and the old- timers were rather surprised at his great show of speed. He hails from San Leandro, and showed the effects of careful training on the Souther Farm race track. He is a ''dark horse" of Cassidy's, and he may yet make his mark as a sprinter. Creagh did not start in the final, andGarriBon was not feeling well. Baring the day H. C. Casidy ran an exhi- bition mile In very good time. Ssveral of the other athletes also gave good exhibitions of running, jumping and walking. AT THE OLYMPIC GROUNDS. The Olympic sprinters were oat in full foroe last Sunday. The chief event of the day at the new grounds was a 1200- yard handicap run for members of the club for two valuable prizes. Twelve men started and they were bancicapped as follows: R Mc Arthur and M Espinosa, Bcratch; S V Oasady, 20 yds; F L Cooley, 25 yds; J Kortick, 35 yds; C Jelleneak, G W Hspers and P Wand each 40 yds; H Caffin, J Christie, each 45 yds: C Toomey, 00 yds; M Framboni, 80 yds. The race was won rather easily by Toomey, McArthur second. The next event whs a one hundred yard ran: First heat, S V Casady, scratch: GroBS, 7 yds; Sheath, 10 yds; Landemann, 10 yds. The heat was won by Gross in lO^secs. Heat No. 2 brought out J Kortick, 2 yds; P Wand, 3 yds; R McArthur, 7J yds. Kortick won in 10 3-asecs; Wand second. The third heat had C A Jelleneak, 2yds; M Espinosa, 6 ydc; J Andrews, 7J yds. Jellenak won in 10A sees, Kortick being a good second. The hand ball court was crowded all day and and several wrestling inatcheB took place on the turf. The races were witnessed by alaigecrowd of sport lovers. In the afternoon over fifty members of the Alpine Club visited the grounds and were very oordially received by tbe Olym- pians. Toanks to Mr. Mclntyre, the traok master, the path was in fine shape. CLUB JOTTINGS. The Alameda Olympic Club will give an informal bop at its club rooms on Ootober 24. Tbe Alameda Brass Bund will be id attendance. The following officers were reoently elec- ted: President, W. F. ChipoiftD; Viee-President, f , jr. ghaw; Treasurer, L, Hewson; Leader, John P. Byler; Direotors, C. E.Elliott, T. C. Hoddard, Giles Bradley, Perham N Nahl, W. B. JosselyD, J. A. Leonard, J, H. Halton and A. C. Lar- sen. The Directors of the Olympic Club have decided to allow members of P. C. A. A. A. clubs the privilege of using their grounds, track, etc., when training for games that are to be held out there. This is generosity itself and the outside athletes should not abuse tbeir privileges. The following circular has just been issued: The Women's Educational arjd Industrial Union has had among its earliest objects the provision, under its own roof, of a gymnasium where women could have the benefit of in- telligent physical oulture. This has, so far, not been accomplished, because the other and argent objects of the union have absorbed all the energy and time of its earnest workers. Now, however, a well-equipped gymnasium has been taken, the services and co-operation of Professor Smyth — the able instructor at the Olympic Club — have been secured, and such arraDgementB made as will provide in the arupl-st manner for tbe needs of women in the direction of symmetrical and healthful development. The especial purpose of this circular is to announce that besides the private classes, and the larger general classes on different days of the week, there are evening classes for those women whose business or other cares preclude day attend- ance. Many persons think their daily occupations bring exercise enough, and that gymnastic traioiog iB only useful to the idle, or the semi-invalid, or the badly developed; but the fact is well established that tired persons are better rested, and refreshed by proper gymnastics than by complete repose. ' Thisis true of all kinds of fatigue, but especially true of that sort of weariness which accompanies occupations requiring long sitting or standing without chaDge. Not only sohool children, but all cbildrfn, need this care- ful direction and exercise of their nervous and muscular force; and no woman, whether too idle or too busy, can get the best use of herself withoat it. It is hoped that teachers and mothers will ponder this statement and be prepared to advise or direct those for whose physical well-being they are responsible. Union headquarters, 42" Sutter street.

His S mpathetic Nature and His Early Mis- fortunes. Those who saw much of Abraham Lincoln during the later years of his life, were greatly impressed with the ex- pression of profound melancholy his face always wore in re- pose. Mr. Lincoln was of a peculiarly sympathetic and kindly nature. These strong characteristics inflaenced, very hap- pily, as it proved, hiB entire political career. They woold not seem, at first glance, to be efficient aids to political suc- cess; but in the peculiar emergency which Lincoln, in the providence of God, was called to meet, no vessel of common clay could possibly have become the "ohosen of the Lord". Those acquainted with him from boyhood krew that early griefs tinged his whole life with sadness. His partner in the business at Salem was "Uncle" Billy Green, of Tallola, 111., who used at night, when the customers were few, to hold the grammar while Lincoln recited his lessons. It was to his sympathetic ear Lincoln told tbe story of his love for sweet ADn Rutlidge; and he, in return, offered what comfort he could when poor Ann died, and Lincoln's great heart nearly broke. ''After Ann died," says "Uncle" Billy, "on stormy nights, when the wind blew the rain against the roof, Abe would set tharin the grocery, his elbows on his knees, his face in his hands, and the tears ronuin' through his fingers. I bated to see him feel bad, an' I'd say, 'Abe don't cry'; an' he'd look np an' say 'I can't help it, Bill, the rain's a fallin' on her.' " There are many who can sympathize with this overpower- ing grief, as they think of a lost loved one, when "the rain's a fallin' on her." What addB poignancy to the grief some times is the thought that the lost one might have been saved. Fortunate, indeed, is William Johnson of Corona L. I., a builder, who writes June 28, 1S90: "Last February, on re- turning from church one night, my daughter oomplained of having a pain in her ankle. The pain gradually extended until her entire limb was swoolen and very painful to tbe touoh. We called a jmysician, who after a careful examina- tion, pronounced it disease of the kidneys of long standing. All we could do, did not seem to benefit her until we used Warner's Safe Cure; from the first she commenced to im- prove. When she commenced taking it Bhe could not turn over in bed, and could just move her hands a little, but to- day she is as well as she ever was. I believe I owe the recov- ery of my daughter to its use." "PICADILLY." UJFF BEHLEV, Proprietor. OPEN ALL NIGHT. Private entrance. Clara Lane. 231 KEARNY STREET, NEAR BUSH, San Franoi6co.

Scott & Son (breech loader) 12 gauge, 7J1b. gun, using 3 drams Schullze powder, ljoz. shot, three No. 11 wads over powder, and No. 12 card- board wad over shot, and my right barrel burst about mid- way between muzzle and breech; aperture was about3inches long and i inch wide. I had a covey scattered, and had shot a number of times before the bursting, and there couldn't possiblv have been any obstruction in the barrel. I sent gun on to the manufacturers, Wm. Read & Sons, Boston. They had it esamined by espert workmen, and say that there was to fltw or defect in the barrel. I like the Scboltze powder bttterthan aDy powder I ever used, it being almost smokeless, and after shooting it all day the barrels are almost clean, the report is less than any other powder, and the pen- etration equal to any. Will you be kind enough to answer through Turf Field and Farm whether yon have ever heard of any" other bursting of guns by the use of the Sobultze pow- der, and whioh is considered the best and safest sporting powder, and greatly oblige an old and ardent sportsman of nearly 40 years' esperience, and now oearlv as good as ever. Am also one of the earliest subscribers to tha Turf Field and Farm. Yours truly, F. H. Tate. Note by Field Editor.— "As we have not the opportunity Of .qfAjng the gun or knowing (he manner of loading *nd other essential features of the accident it is impossible to advise, but treat the matter only in a gereral way. During the past ten years we have fired several thousand cartridges loaded with the American wood powder and the Schultze, and, be- sides, seen many others use the same without any unpleasant esperience — on the contrary, with satisfaction and success. We fancy that improper loading has more to do with mis- haps than any other agencies. Some weapons will shoot a charge that-would shake or shatter another barrel, and all strong, quick burning powder must especially be loaded with proper caution. Every grin when using too much or too strong shooting powder wi 1 give different results. In a rifle it will cause the bullet to strip, i. e., not take the rifling* so fall short or go out of its course. The same will apply to shot guns. An excess of powder, or if too strong and quiet, will cause the shot to jam and scatter without .effect, and eventually injure the gun in its weakest parts. The subject is one that admits of a wide scope for discussion, and we would be glad to hear from any reader of the Turf Field and Farm on the subject." The subj'Ct is one of interest to all sportsmen. Photographic illustrations of the results of 14 tests made by Captain W. McH. Heath at Philadelphia, in 1884, mad© with various obstructions in the muzzle of the barrels show the bursting in the majority of cases, to have occurred some distance from the muzzle of the guDs. Is it not a reasonable solution of the question to presume tbat the bursting occur- red at that point where the gasses from the charge could no further force the air in the barrel against the abstraction, which however slight, was enough to cause a checking, and a secondary explosion of the gasses so confined? In the case above presented by Mr. Tate, there was no obstruction other than the air. He had fired his gun a number of times. At each fire there was the creation of a vacuum in the bar- rel, followed by a rush of air into the cavity. Is the posi- tion untenable that the effect of the air rushing into the gun barrel could cause a recoil and explosion at the place where the bursting occurred? If this is not the true solution, what is ? We have known of at least one other similar occur- rence. Fight Between a Dogr and Crane. I remember, when but a boy, of a splendid bit of sport which I had with a crane. It was in Iowa, and if I rightly remember, about the 1st of May. The geese and ducks, which had been unusually plentiful, had mostly passed over in their northward flight, but the cranes lingered about, feeding in the cornfields adjacent to the river, whenee they would repair to rest secure on the sand bars.after their morn- ing flight. I was returning home after an unsuccessful hunt during the morning when suddenly I caught sight of a long line of crane, some twelve or fifteen, flying very low and coming toward me. I dropped in the grass and they came on with slow motion, b=iug very near the ground. As they came over me I rose and, singling out my birds, knocked tbe first one down but the second one flew in a circle and fell over in an adjoining field where a farmer was planting corn. A common cur dog was in the field and immediately made off for the crane whioh was statding but a few hundred yards away. As the dog came up to tbe bird, it made a vicious stroke at him with its beak and took out a large tuft of hair, making a wound from which the blood flowed freely. The dog howled with pain and drew back, walking around tho crane waiting for a favorable opening, but the crane kept its eye on the dog and thus they stood when the farmer and I drew near. By urging, the dog made another attack, when the crane, after striking at him. and seeing the dog determin- ed to force the fighting, fell on its back and using its claws vigorously, made the fur fiy in great shape. The fight con- tinued for several minutes before the dog finally conquered the bird. The two birds made a heavy load as I carried them home, their feet dragging the ground as I held to their heads over my shoulder. K. W. The Art of Shooting. By Charles Lancaster, gunmaker.

English snipe are abundant on Bouldin Island and at Braonon, Roberts and Sherman above Clark's Slough. Ducks are reported to be unusually plentiful in Montana. Accounts of some Bplendid sport in that region has reached Mes3rs. Coleman, Kennettand Dillard have been spending some time in the Belt mountains, and returned with sis deer- They also killed a large number of grouse and caught an abundance of trout. Ned Bosqni, whoBe fondness for pointers and setters is widely known, has recently came into possession of a num- ber of fine dogs and has been in a state of perplexity regard- ing what disposition to nuke of them, as be had no suitable place to keep them. Sinoe Mr. Mason Dodge has taken charge of the Country Club's grounds he has taken charge of the dogs, where there is ample range for them with good quail shooting close at bund. It is Mr. Dodge's intention, after the club is fully organized, to handle a number of dogs under the direction of the club rules. We much regret tbat space will not permit of a more ex- tended report of tbe State tournament. The fine features shown by many individual members at the trap are worthy of extended notice. It often occurs that many brilliant shots are made of which (be recording of the scores gives no ade- quate conception. This is true in many instances of the sbootiog done at tbe late tournament nt Sacramento. Taken as a whole, it is doubtful if a more accurate number of shots could be gathered from any other one State in the entire country. It is one thing to kill one bird rising from the trap, and it may be, and frequently is, quite another thing to kill the next one from the same trap. There is a vast differ- ence iu the birds themselves, some slow and easy of win others swift, vigorous and taciturn iu flight.

Thornton, recounts a story which shows the wonderful intelligence of the Collie. On his ranch near this city he has a splendid dog of this celebrated family, and alBo a fine bull dog. These dogs, although bo different in their structure and qualities, as can well be imagined, are the very best of friends. "This feeling of friendship was strikingly illustrated a few days ago," said Col. Thornton. "It happened in this wise. One of the men about the place was riding into the hills one day, both of these dogs accompa- nying him. He had ridden forward some distance, when sud- denly he heard the Collie coming after him with all possible speed, barking furiously to arre3t his attention. On coming up the dog seized his styrup strap and pulled it backwards and ran a little way down the road again, looking back and saying in clear doglauguage 'Come back, you'r wanted.' The man rode back and at the foot of the hill found the bull dog engaged in a desperate battle with three coyotes. He held one of them down and was fast choking the life out of it, but the other two were unmercifully snapping him in turn, as they darted about bringing thy blood at every pass. ,,The two were chased away and the fight soon ended. The Collie haB no element of fight in his nature but he showed remarkable intelligence and also friendship for big strange companion, the bull dog, in goiog for assistance on this oc- casion." -— We are pleased to know that Dr. A. de Monco, of Denver, Col., haB recently purchased Minnie T. by Young 81eaford, out of ex-Daisy B. Dr. de Mouco's West Morland Don took lirst premium at Denver in pointer class last year, and it may be expected that some tine pointers will be the result of bis recent purchase. Visits- H. P.

Importance of Pedigree. The questions arising from the breeding of all claBscB of animals relative to the practical value of pedigreesare numer- ous. Some men are so eminently practical that they become disgusted at what they are pleased to term the red tape of so called fancy breeders. I know one or two good men who are breeding a good strain of dogs, who pay no attention to the matter of pedigree, yet the very dogs they own come of the very best stook.and have pedigrees which could be shown as well as not. But from some cause or another, possibly a certain crank- iness of nature, leads tbeir owners to di6regxrd their dog's pedigree, and allows no opportunity to pass by witbout railing out against the custom. I have known many good dogs that had no pedigree, bat their appearance, to the prac- tical eye, carried the Btamp of royalty with them. But on the whole, we should be very careful, in buying a dog, to be sure of his pedigree. We should want to know all about his history.and De able to trace him back to an honora- ble and pure blooded ancestry, and the further back the bet- ter. We are in favor of royal blood aDd plenty of the very best nature of it in a dog. The dog and horse are among the purest and best aristocrats. The breeding of animals is about the only place which we have in this country, where pure aristocracy can be found and where it is really most desira- ble. By the selection of the qualities roost desired, the camine race has been wrought up to its present proud posi- tion. It will never be allowed ;o deterioate because exper- ience has shown again and again that blood will speak for itself, yet for the protection of all and most for the proteotion and proper culture of the dogs themselves, let the impor- tant item of pedigree be not forgotten or neglected. When a man offers to sell you a dog, require him to furnish you a pedigree, and let it, if possible, be full and complete. It can do no harm and on the other hand is really nothing more nor Iobs than a clear title and warrant of the genuineness of the animal purchased. In the sale of the animal's progeny it is an all important factor, for it speaks in a voice of reliable propbeoy of the future of tbe young dogs. Stick to the pedi- gree alwayB. Mr. E. W. Chapin, of this city made us a pleasant call re- cently. He is much interested in the queation of game, for- est and fish protection. We notice the importation of some fine Pointers and Fox hounds by some gentlemen of Denver. The "Queen of the Rockies" ib becoming, among good traits, a doggy city. — . « Nebraska is to have an open State meeting some time in the near future. Omaha, Lincoln, Beatrice and Grand la- laud are central points for sportsmen of the State and inter- est in field matters is steadily on the increase. Mr. Mitchel Harrison, of Philadelphia, contemplates send- ing some of his famous Collies from the Chestnut Hill Ken- nels to England, to contest with the doga of that country. Mr. Harrison is perhaps the leading Collie breeder of Amer- ica. Mrs. L. H. Fuller of New York, who has been stopping at the Palace for some weeks, has purchased Barrymore, a splendid Irish Setter, from Mr. L. L. Campbell of this city. Barrymore is by Elcho Jr., out of Maid, and is a splendid dog. Mrs. Fuller returns home in a few days, and will per- haps secure one or two more dogB before going. In the matter of breeding bitches, it would seem to be a pretty well Bettled rule, judging from the testimony of many of our best and most thorough breeders, that it should not be done until the bitch has come in heat the second time. No abstract reason is given as to why nature should not be allowed to govern in this matter, but it seems to be the re- sult of experience that on following the above rule better re- sults are obtained. It iB a remarkable fact that a good dog will make friends where ever he goes. In the matter of transportation of dogs it is to be observed with a great deal of satisfaction, that any thing like neglect of a dog in transit by the express compa- nies iB a decided exception. The rule is thut dogs may be safely shipped by express anywhere and the best of card will be given them. The Seoretury of the Occidental Coursing Club, Mr. J. F. Carrol, may be found at tbe club rooms at 21 Kearney street, where entries may be made for the fall meeting which takes place at Newark, on the 27th of November. Entry fee $5. All entries close on November 24th, at s,\10 v. M . Any one desiring to enter their dogs for the races should not faii to have them properly entered. The above provisions are posi- tive and tbe entries according to the rules of the club are a neceBeary precedent to the starting of any dog in the races. There is considerable "Kicking" indulged in by the mem- bers aud friends of the National Beagle Club because that organization was refused admission to the A. K. C. They deem that the reason alleged that they would antagon- ize the American Beagle Club, which is already a member of the A. K. C. insufficient to debar them from membership. The claim ia made fcr them that they have done, and are now doing more for the culture of Beagle breeding than any other organization in the country and place the merits for membership, not so much on priority as on the amount of work accomplished, which would look to the uninitiated as a pretty strong reason. With the meeting of the American Coursing Club at Great Bend, Kansas, and the increased interest in bench shows and field trials throughout the West generally, our friends of the East will come to recognizs the growth of the sporting interests in the Wtst, From the psesent period forward, there appears to be no reaBon why the West should not lead the East in all classes of sports. The bench is well enongh in itB plaoe, but there can be no question but that the field, which is tbe legitimate place for snorting, has in a measure been neglected. The opportunities offered in the West are such as will undoubtedly lead to an increased improvement and interest in this feature. A dog may be a perfect paragon of his type, but still the more important questions remain to be demonstrated by his actual work in the field. During the first of the week we made a visit to the ken- nel of Mr. James E. Watson at Berkeley, aud were much gratified to see a splendid lot of dogs. This gentleman has a large vaiiety of animals including Mastiffs, Greyhounds, Fox Hounds, Pointers, Irish Setters, Fox Terriers, and other breeds. His dogs are all in excellent condition as he has ample grounds for them to range over. We found Mr. Watson, suffering from an accident, which occurred last week, which, while not serious, yet is of a nature to incapacitate him from active duty for some weeks to come. The injury spoken of consists of the breaking of the right collar bone and tbe fracture of a rib, sustained by his buggy being overturned and hi-i horse running away, while out with a friend on a hunting excursion. The gentleman is getting along nicelv, and will suffer no inconvenience from the acci- dent beyond the pain and the neceseary period of inactivity while convalesiug. The Forest and stream says: In a letter from England we are informed of an important importation of black and tan terriers, which will shortly start for this country. Mr. Com- stook of Providence, R. I., either the Irish terrier owner or his brother, has purchased from Mr. Liey, Middleton, Eng , his Salisbury, Jasper, Louie and Queen III. Salisbury and Jasper are both good winners, and Queen III, we are told, was bred and raised by tbe man who bred Qaeen II, who won for Mr. Lacy $3,000 in money and 33 cups, and this man aays she can beat Rosabel, so we shall expect to Bee something pretty smart, if she only turns out half as good as "old Queen." We are pressed for space this week, but will have more to sayabout tbese dogs in our next issue. There is one thing about it. judging from press notices, Mr. Corn- stock will not be disappointed in the dogs at any rate. Who says black and tan terriers are not the coming breed? "Cheerful Horn" tells us that the King Charles Royal Duke is on his way to this country, having been purchased by a gentleman in Milwaukee, whom he puts down as a Mr. Nie- mann. Tbe Bum paid for this spaniel was $250. Here ia a pretty little yarn from Longman's; "The New- foundland dog is a particular favorite of mine. He iB the most magnanimous fellow in the world, and Bmall dogs may insult him with impunity unless a river happens to be near, when one too venturesome and impudent will sometimes ex- perience an involuntary bath. On one occasion, lattly, a par- ticularly tine one was sitting on a wooden bridge discussing a bone, when a predatory mastiff' came along, and being en- able or unwillingto distinguish between meumetluum, a smart altercation arose. So violent became tbe debate that both suddenly overbalanced and fell into the stream beneath. The nearest landing place was a hundred yards down, and to it the Newfoundland betook himBelf without much diffi- culty, and after a good shake was preparing to depart, when he suddenly became aware that the other dog who was more of a soldier than a sailor, was wildly beating tbe water, and drownit g as fast as he could drown. One look was enough. In went he of the shaggy coat, and seizing tbe other by the collar, brought his late enemy safe to land. The two dogs then eyed each other with a perfectly indescribable expres- sion for some seconds, then silently and solemnly wagged their caudal appendages, and with dignity departed. Borne will, no doubt, say that this was but instinct; and tbey may be right, but I prefer to give my four-footed friend the bene- fit of the doubt. Mr. J. H. Bridge, of San Luis Obispo, has some elegant blood hounds of the very beat strain. They are from the Hon. Edwin Braugh's English Kennels. Burgho's Warrior owned by Mr. Bridge is a beautiful ani- mal and was sired by Burgo, tbe famous dog spoken of so favorably in connection in the efforts to trace Jack the Kip- per. Ripple — Buxom is a line bitoh and is also owned by Mr. Bridge. She has recently thrown a fine litter of eight pup- pies, which are now some two months old. This bitch was imported in whelp to Burgo, and is conceeded to be as fine a specimen of tbe blood hound as was ever brought to this country. The public have a very erroneous idea of the nature of these invaluable dogs. They are exceedingly kind and afteo- tionate in disposition and of tin lirsi value on a ranch or farm. They will trace auy animal or person successfully, when all other means have proven ineffectual. As guards and companions for children they cannot be surpassed. Burgho's Warrior is a model dog in many respects. He is five feet six inches in leugth: shoulders, twenty-nine inches; ears, twenty-seven iuoheB.

"Within the last few hoars there has been added to the marine collection at the Brighton Aquarium a Bpecimen of the manatee or 'sea cow,' which is the nearest representative of the mermaid of tradition. These rare speoimens seldom reach oar shores, the difficulties of transit being so great. The last one known to have been brought to this country was purchased by the Zoological Society, and attraoted im- mense attention from natoralists and the public. Its decease was recorded qnite recently. Its formation is indeed re- markable, this being particularly noticeable in connection ■with the hand-like tore 6ns. Its tail tin is largely developed horizontally, viz., in the opposite direotion to that of fishes, and it may be described as being destitute of hind limbs. The present specimen has been imported from Trinidad, and was Drought from Liverpool by Mr. Wells, the Marine Super- intendent, under whose careful supervision it was safely transferred to its new home in the Brighton Aquarium. The tank in which it has been placed has been speoially fitted with heating apparatus, it being necessary to keep the tempera- ture to between 70 and 80 degrees. The manatee is 4ft. 6 in. in length, and feeds principally upon lettuce, of which it consumes large quantities. Without doubt it will attract the attention of visitors to Brighten, and once more the Direct- ors of this institution indicate by their spirited action that they intend to maintain and keep up the reputation of this the premier Aquarium in the country- This new addition will be on view daily. — Sussex Daily Ifews, Sept. 15th. laBhed the water, now in plain view and now bid by the breakers. Gradually they worked nearer and nearer to the beach, where much of their aotion was plainly visible. The water was dyed with blood, but they continued fightiog furiously, with but little apparent advantage. Finally with a terrific lunge the porpoise rushed for his enemy and literally tore his bowels open, and the shark became inactive and lay quivering in the water but a few feet from the beach, on which the breakers soon washed him, and he was dragged out on dry land, while the porpoise Blowly made its way out into the gulf. These monsters, in their contest, presented a strangely interesting sight, the like to which probably has never before been witnessed. Quail and chicken are taking up the attention of our gunners. The former are to be found all over the State in abundance, and the latter are numerous in the wheat raising districts. A. M. The Black Bass a Comorant. Fish Culture on the Farm. The opportunities for the application of practicil plans in fish culture are especially favorable in this State. Tbe higher altitudes afford many admirable conveniences for the breed- ing of trout, salmon, perch and similar varieties of fish. There is not a farmer in the land who may not, at a very small outlay, enjoy the benefits and pleasures to be derived from a fish pond. It would take but about two weeks' time, with two teams, shovels and the usual appliances to con- struct a fish pond, which in a few years would be a Bource of profit second to no feature of like cost on the farm; aside from the fact of furnishing a means of pleasurable work which would be recreation of itself to tbose engaged in it. We shall hereafter present articles of practical valae, show- ing the cost and methods of constructing ponds, which are feasible and may be enjoyed by every farmer, who so desires, in the State. The item of fish as a food when they can thus be taken direct from the pond, is one of no inconsiderable moment to the farmer, and the subject is one of such impor- tance as should receive careful attention of each and every one who is so sitnated as to be able to reduce the suggestions to a practical demonstration. There is no need that farming should be confined to the raisiDg of stock and grain alone in the secsa that those terms are usually interpreted. If you would make the farm the place to hold the interest of theyouDg, every possible factor should be made use of to make it attractive and pleasant. What can be done in a practical way which would forward this interest more than a good fish pond, tilled with beautiful lisb, which afford not only in their taking, but in tbeir care and culture, a source of pleasure which is never failing in its nature. We trnst that the matter may receive the careful consideration of all who may be in condition to make use of the plans hereafter suggested. : Fishing in the Gulf. Galveston, Texes. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The fishing here has been unusually fine during the entire season. It has been my gojd fortune to fall in with a number of enthusiastic de- vtteesof the rod and as a result I have enjoyed more than the usu9jl degree of sport. The bays and inlets from the golf proper are well stocked, in fact, swarming with fish. The sea trout and channel oats are especially plentiful, and have been taken in great numbers. One evening we caught witb two rods upwards of sixty pounds of fish, including aU kinds. The mullets and sheepshead are good biters and famish fine sport. The red fish are, perhaps, the most pleasurable catohes here made, and tbe surf fishing is qnite popular, as this point presents the finest opportunities for it of any place on the continent. The beach is one grand roll of surf for a dis- tanoe of thirty-five miles along the island. The fall is only about sis feet on the average to the mile into the golf. The eands of the beach are hard, and present a sapurb drive all the distance for carriages, as something like a hun- dred yards is left by the waves, swept clean and smooth, and as level as a floor. Along the beach in the mornings and evenings the fishing is fine. CaBts may be made from dry and secure positions on the beach, and it is wonderful to note how the fish ploy in the surf; they seemingly enjoy the eport of frolicking along the shallow waters. To find a four- pound, and sometimes a larger catch on your hook at the end of a hundred feet of line, is the signal for some exciting pleasure. A real gamester will sometimes rush frantically about, curving to this side and then to that, until by chance riding with an incoming breaker he lands himself high and diy as the billow recedeB into the gulf. A number of June fish have been taken during the season farther out in the bay, mostly at the entrance of the channel to the bay proper from tbe gulf. One was caught during the season that weighed upwards of 200 pounds, and a royal time the fishermen had in linding their prize. The porpoise are unusually plentiful this season in the Gulf, and more Bharks have been noted cHring the summer than at any period in the past. A number of times these "scavengers of the ocean" have come rolling up to the beach. causing many misgivings on the part of the bathers, but we all know but little or no danger is to be apprehended from them by a noisy crowd of bathers. The average chorus of shrieks and yells which accompany every successive breaker rolling beachward by the merry crowd in the water, would be enough to frighten the boldest shark and send him retreating into deep water in a hurry. A number of ladies and gentlemen, but a few weeks ago witnessed a rare and Bingular battle between a porpoise and a 14 foot shark. A number of shark were seen swimming about but a short distance from the beach and a little way off a porpoi3e could occasionally be seen coming to the surface as he worked his way along the beaoh distant less than 100 yards from shore. As the latter approaohed the sharks au unusual commotion wa3 noticed, when it wbb discovered that what proved to be a fight to the death was going on between one of the sharks and the porpoise. Back and forth they San Francisco, Cal. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: The question of the classes or varieties of fish which may dwell in unity together is worthy of the first consideration. We have noticed that many persons are favorable to black bass. Now we desire to say that while black bass is a good fish in many essentials, yet it is the most vicious and destructive fish wbich swims the waters — of course I mean of those fish which we culti- vate. The black bass is a veritable shark, as compared to the rest of the finny tribe. They will literally clean out and utterly exterminate the trout wherever brought into contact with them. In fact, it is my opinion, and I may say more, that of my observation, that the black bass is tbe enemy of almost every other species of fish . I speak of what I know, when I say that as to trout they will speedily exterminate them. The black bass will devourfrogs, snakeBand almost anything wbich they can conquer. There is no use fishing for other fish which are less hardy than the bass wherever they are foond in abundance. We all know from experience that if we would capture the largest buss that there is no bate equal to a frog. They will dart for it the moment it strikes the water with as much avidity as a hungry hawk ever does for a chicken. I have fished in many waters where bass were plentiful and have always found that the streams were devoid of trout. Therefrom, I would say never plant black bass in connec- tion with trout for you will find that the lath r will be killed off by the bass. A.L. Fish Culture. U. S. Fish Commission Work. — Br. Hessel, Superintend- ent of the U. S. Fish Commission carp ponds, Washington, D. (.'., estimates the number of carp now in the pond to be upward of 400,000. Owing to the cold weather of last May, the season is at least a month backward, and the ponds are not to be drawn off until about November lBt. instead of early October, the usual time. The month of May, the Doc- tor Bays, is the most important one of the year to warm wa- ter fishes, and a low temperature of the water then marks a very late season. Besides the carp, there will be about 6,000 tench and 30,000 gold fish for distribution. The ponds are in good condition, and have a good supply of stock fish for breeders in them. Since the flood of 1889 there has been lit- tle trouble from snakes. In one year, previous to 18S9, 1,900 snakes were killed at the ponds with a 22-cal. parlor rifle. _ The Lobster's Queer Coat. The shell of the crab and lobster owes its blush-gray color to the superstition of two pigments or coloring matters, which have been isolated — a red pigment and a blue one. As long as these two pigments exist simultaneously the crustaceans remain gray. But the blue pigment is fugitive, and some- times, under the influences of a disease, it is destroyed, and crabs are found with portions of their shell more or less red- dish. When the orostaceans are immersed in boiling water the blue pigment is entirely destroyed, and the red pigment, which iB verv staple, appears alone in all its brilliancy. — Ex. ♦ Col. Harry I. Thornton spent several days last week at the beautiful mountain 6shing resort, Gold Lake. He reports the 6shing to have been very Gne. He hooked two beautiful trout at one cast, and had more than usual sport in landing them. The Scotch Fishery Board have marked a number of fish and turned them loose in the waters which they control. The fish are of the salmon species and the experiment is be- ing made with the objeot in view of solving one or more of the many problems which have been agitating the members of the board. The trout season closes on November 1st, and even now may be said to be practically over. It would be well for all sportsmen to remember that now is the time that a little care aDd attention given to their fish- ing tackle, will be of the first importance. The life of a rod depends more on the care given it during the idle season rather than its use daring the active one. Rods should be carefully oleaned and dried, then nicely var- nished and put away. The fly book should be overhauled and all worn and fretted specimens rejected and the good ones carefully arranged; lines should be reeled off, smoothed, dried and oarefully rewound so that they may be in readi- ness for nest season's sport. Mr. G. P. Wilder, of Kahnlui, Maui, is at present visiting old friends in the city. ■ For some weeks paBt, in company with a few friends, he has been enjoying the splendid trout and game districts of Mendocino county. He reportB one of the moBt successful outings yet enjoyed during the season. His account of the splendid fishing enjoyed in the head waters of Big river, sounds like the recital of some fisherman's dream of the Utopia, but ns we know Mr. Wilder to be a truthful gentleman, we give his statement full credit: '•In two hours," said Mr. Wilder, "I caught eighty trout . It was only a question of making rapid casts. I canght as high as three front at one cast more than once." If any one can beat this for a two hours' bout, we shoolrt be pleased to reoord the fact. Deer, quail and grouse were reported plentiful. Mr. Wil- der succeeded in killing two fine bucks. Kock cod, blue fish, balibnt and shad were taken in plentiful numbers by the party all along the coast. Mr. Wilder returns shortly to his ooean home, and will carry back many pleasant memories of bis sporting days in the mountains and on the coast.

The FIRST and ONLY LITTER of PURE ENG- LISH BLOODHOUNDS whelped in California are now offered for sale. They are bv Burgho's Warrior (A K. C. 19 753) out of Hippie Buxom E. K. C. 19,768), prize taker at Dover, England, New York and Albany. Warrior has never been shown, but is f nil brother to Burgho Jr., the well known show dog. Warrior is one of the handsomest bounds ever seen. His ears are twenty-seven inches across, and h- is two incheB taller than the average of bloodhounds. Theae noble hounds are kind and gentle, fond of chil- dren, marvelously intelligent, of stately bearing, and companionable in every sense. They are not fierce like the cross-bred hounds of Southern States, which are wrongly called bloodhounds; though they are excellent watch dogs. While possessing a rich, deep voice, they never give tongue without cause. A dozen bloodhounds malce less noiBe than one pug. Their kind disposition, rare intelligence and wonder- ful scent fit them equally for house, farm or field. In the EaBtthe hloodhound is becoming more fash, ionable than the St. Bernard or the Mastiff, for while he Is handsomer than either, his rema-kable intelli- gence and scent make him useful as well. Read his character in the Century Magazine for June, 1889, and see his creat beauty in the bronzes at Shreve'e, and photographs at Vickers.

When the Breeder ash Sportsman went to press last week it was deemed expedient to leave ontthe two unfinished Special Races of Thursday, as the resnlt wonld have beeD unsatisfactory to oar readers with a part of the race in one week's issne and the remainder in another. The first of the Specials had as entries, the gelding Lee, Balkan, Charles Derby and Redwood, the three latter being representative California stallions. "When the auction pools began in this race, Balkan was made a slight favorite, he selling for $30, Lee $28, Derby §23 and Eedwood $20. Al- though all of these horses are known as compaigners, still the judges had a very annoying time in trying to get them off and it was only on the eighth score-up that the word could be given, and even tben to a start, that was far from satisfactory. McDowell, who was driving Redwood, at once went to the front, Derby being second, Balkan third and Lee bringing up the rear; on the back stretch Derby headed Redwood and was almost a length to the good; on the upper turn Redwood and Balkan made slight breaks, and Derby was still leading when the quartette entered the home stretch. Coming down the straight all of them with the exception of Redwood indulged their breaking propensities and the son of Anteeo had no difficulty in winning in 2:25, Derby being second, Balkan third and Lee last. Derby having shown considerable more ability than any of the others although he did not win the first heat, was now made a pronounced fav- orite selling at $50 to $40 for Redwood, Lee $25 and Balkan $7 or $8. Again it took considerable time to get them away, Balkan and Lee being the principal offenders, when at las t starter Page gave the word Redwood had a little more than a length the best of it; on the first turn, however, Redwood broke, enabling Derby to take the lead, Redwood being sec- ond and Lee third; these positions were maintained in pro- cessional order until the three-quarter pole v. as reached where McDowell sent Redwood after the leader, he iLade a slight skip but canght handily and from sheer endurance, carried Derby to a break and managed to win the second heat by a length, Lee being second, Derby tbird and Balkan last. Time 2:25$. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Dustin appeared in the judges' stand and notified the officials that he had heard a rumor to the effect that the horse Lee was not out to win, and stated that the horse bad been travelling from the previ- ous Sunday up to Wednesday morning, and that there had been no chance to give him a work out, consequently the gelding was very rank, and also said that if the jadges had any idea there was anything wrong, he wonld be more than pleased to turn over his charge to any other driver, but that he felt that there was little or no chance for his horse to win. After the second heat Balkan began to show signs of distress, and Mr. Hinds notified the judges that when he came up for the word, that they need pay no attention to his position, as he felt that his horse was oot of the race. In the pools Red- wood now brought $40, Derby selling for $24, while the field was generously backed at $23. As in the previous heats, Redwood started off in the lead, but his unlucky forte of breaking on the turn was again demonstrated, and as they reached the quarter pole, Derby and Lee were in the leading position, there being barely a quarter of a length between them. Derby maintained his slight advantage to the head of the homestretch, where Lee attempted to make a desperate fiDish, but broke, allowing the boo of Steinway to finish in a .jog by half a dozen lengths, the time being 2:25$; Lee came n second, Redwood a bad third and Balkan was distanced. Although it was getting rather late, the judges called up the horses for the fourth heat, and as the pool sellers had closed up, there was no chance for the speculatively inclined to back their respective choices. It took but a few minntes for the three to come np head and head, and the word was quickly given, Derby and Lee making a determined fight o* it all the way to the quarter pole, where Derby had the advan- tage of half a length. From there home the gelding and the stallion had it nip and tuck, Derby winning by half a length only from Lee, the time announced being 2:24J, which caused considerable argument among the many independent timers who always hold their watches while horses are speeding. Owing to darkness the race was now postponed until the following morning. The second Special having to be postponed for the same cause, although two heats in it had alreaiy been sandwiched with the first Bpecial. During the evening the principal topic of conversation around the hotel was the time given out by the judges in the Derby-Lee race, it being maintained by many that the time was fully a second faster than was given, while a few were positive in the statement that 2:22£ was the time that should have been announced. Owing to the argument pro and con, the judges on the following morn- ing announced that a mistake had been made by the timers, and that Derby was entitled to a record of 2:23i. The second Special race had as starters Sunset, Oakville Maid, Mambrino Chief Jr. and Yan, but owing to the local character of the horses no pools were sold as the "regulars" had no line to go by, by which the best of the quartette could be picked. The scoring was very tedious, as more than twenty minutes were consumed tefore the field was started; on the word being given, Mambrino Chief Jr. cutout the pace and was never headed, Van being the only one that seemed worthy of being a competitor, Mambrino Chief Jr. passing under the wire half a length ahead of Van, Sunset third and Oakville Maid fourth. Van having made repeated breaks was set back last for running, Sunset and Oakville Maid being placed second and third. Time 2:34. Mambrino Chief Jr. won the second heat in an equally easy manner. Time being 2:34*. SIXTH DAY. On the previous evening a meeting of the Board of Direct- ors had been held,and owing to the length of the programme, 12 o'olock was set as the hour for beginning the sport of the day. The attendance still remained small, the local people seeming to pay but little attention to the high class of rac- ing that was daily taking place on their remarkable fast track. The first event on the card was what was known as the second Special, and as Van had been drawn, only three Btart- ers came up for the word. On the first turn Oakville Maid broke badly, and was soon away behind the leading pair, and as Mambrino Chief, Jr. also acted very badly, Sunset had no difficulty in winning the heat in 2;30£. Oakville Maid being distanced. A small amount of betting was now in- dulged in, Mambrino Chief, Jr , selling for $20, while Sun- set sold for $14 or $15. In the fourth heat Mambrino Chief, Jr., again acted very badly, his repeated bieaks causing him to lose the heat, and Sunset led all the way and won handily io2:37|. In the fifth and deciding heat Sunset acted fully as badly as old Mambrino Cbief. Jr., in the two preceding heats, and consequently had no chance in the race whatever, Mambrino Chief, Jr. winning by almoBt a half dozen lengths in 2:36. SUMMARY.

The postponed first Special brought out Charles Derby and Redwood, who were each credited on the night befor. with two heats, Lee as yet having failed to distinguish him- self by winning. In the pools Derby sold for $20, while th# field went almost begging for the trifling sum of $6. On the afternoon before McDowell had handled the reins over Red- wood, and on Friday morning Tom Murphy was seen np be- hind the stallion. After a couple of ineffectual scores the trio was Btarted off at the third attempt, Derby and Lee go. ing around the first turn at a terrific gait, Redwood trailing behind, the speed shown being too much for him; at the quarter Derby was leading by half a neck only, these same relative positions being maintained to the three-quarter pole, where DuBtin brought up Lee so rapidly that he forced Derby to a break, winning the heat in the remarkable good time of 2:20, Derby being a length and a half behind, while Redwood was at least ten lengths behind the second horse. In the auction pools Derby still maintained as favorite, sell- ing for $20, the field bringing 315. The three got off to an exceedingly good start, Derby taking the lead on the turn showing a full length to the good when the quarter pole was reached. Up the backstretch Lee made play for the leader but the hard work of the previous afternoon and the preced- ing fast heat had evidently tired the gelding, for he was un- able to head Derby, who won the heat and first money by a length in the good time of 2:20, Redwood being distanced.

The $1,500 purse for the 2:27 class had only two starterst Frank M and Homestake haying evidently frightened out the balance of the nominators. $40 was the ruling odds for Homestake, while Frank M was sold for S16. This betting was not extraordinary as the fast time shown by Homestake in the earlier portion of the week demonstrated to all that the Pleasanton Stock Farm entry was able to compete with any trotter in the country. As was expected, Homestake easily vanquished his opponent in three straight heats, the time being 2:171, 2:231 and 2:18$. Frank M evidently needs a rest and is fairly entitled to it as he has gone through many hardly contested races this Beason, his feet being badly punished from the arduous work he haB had to go through. We fully expect that it the black winters well that he will make a very low record before the end of 1S91. SUM HART. Napa. Oct. 17th.— Parse 31600, for 2:27 class trotters.

In one of the previous races Daly, owned by Dr. Finlaw of Santa RoBit, bad made a record of 2:251, and was now sent to beat that record, but on the first attempt was unsno. cesBful, owing to repeated breaking. Later on in the day Daly was again brought out, and as be compassed a mile without skip or break, was enabled to put the mark of 2:22J against himself, the stallion evidently finishing with speed still in reserve. The two-year-old purse had three starters, Pilot Prince, who was under the care of Dastin, Starlight being manipu- lated by Hecox, and Freda, who waa piloted by Woods. Pilot Prince had already shown on a former occasion what he could do, and waa established a strong favorite at $30, the field going almost bagging at $6".

There was hardly a day during the big circuit but what Johnny Goldsmith could produce from the Corbitt ptable Bometbing that would astonish the spectator, and Friday after, noon was no exception to the rule, as he brought out for record purposes, the now celebrated two-year-old filly, Vida Wilkes, who had previously made a record of 2:26 Mr- Goldsmith was evidently successful in his effort to fix a lower mark for this really magniGcent youngster, as the mile was completed in 2:22j, a notch which fixed the fact permanently and beyond the peradventure of a doubt that Guy Wilkes is n producer of extreme speed even iu the youDger generations. The directors had arranged a special race between Sidney J., Vidette and S3udau, but those who support the pool box ought very shy of the three, and no pools were sold on the event. In the first heat Sidney J. won very handily by a half doeen lengths from Soudan, Yidette bringing up the rear position. Time, 2:31. After having illustrated what speed he possessed, Sidney J. was made a favorite, selling for $50 agiinst 320 for the field, and at these odds quite a good busi- ness was done. In the second heat it required two attempts to get them off to a good, even start, Soudan breaking at the first turn; when the quarter pole was reached, Vidette had the leading position, beiug two lengths in front of SidDey J. As the trio trotted down the backstretcb, Sidney J. improved his position, and at the half was ODly a length behind, Sou dan being three lengths still farther back. On the upper turn Sidney broke, and before he settled, Soudan and he were on even terms. When well into the homestretch Son- dan was urged, and rapidly passed the other pair, winning the heat by a neck in 2:30£, Vidette beiDg second, Sidney J. third. For the next heat Sidney was still favorite, selling for $25 to $10 for the field. But little time was taken up before the judges started them off on the journey, Soudan taking a commanding lead almostimmediately, Sidney break- ing on the turn giving Becond position to Vidette: these positions remained unchanged until the homestretch was reached, where Vidette was given her head, and carrying Soudan to a break, the mare won the heat by three lengths in 2:25J, Sidney being a bad third. Another special race had been interspersed between the heats of the Sydney J., Soudan and Vidette race, the starters being Anita, driven by Goldsmith, Directa with McDowell up behind, and Susette, a full siBter to Suisun, who wsb handled by Havey. After scoring several times they were started off, Anita taking the lead and never being headed, won by four lengths from Directa in 2:25J, SuBette being an- nounced as distanced. Mr. Havey, driver for the Palo Alto stable, made strong objections to Sasette being declared be- hind the red flag, and after a consultation two of the judges voted in favor of allowing the mare to start again, they tak- ing the driver's word in preference to the distance judge's, whom they considered incompetent for the position. In the second heat Sasette showed plainly that Bhe had plenty Of speed as she was never headed from start to finish, Directa being second, Anita third. Time 2:26£, This concluded the sport for the day, the two unfinished races being postponed until Saturday morning. LAST DAT. Saturday, October 18th was the seventh and last day of the second annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Asssciation, and many were the predictions when the horsemen met together on that morning that within twenty-four hcors it would rain. The Bky was over- cast and very cloudy, giving every indication that before many hours the torrents would be turned loose, and that there would be a similar experience to what was had lest season when the record breakers went to Napa for the pur- pose of reducing low marks. An extraordinary long pro- gramme had been arranged and the Directors decided on the previous evening that the bell should be rung at eleven o'clock sharp for the purpose of calling up the first event on the programme; None of those interested caring about remain- ing over the Sabbath and having postponed raceB on Monday- The horsemen had all been notified that fines would be im- posed for any negligence in promptly coming to the poBt, and after a couple of drivers had had to part.one with $5 and the other with $10, there was no more complainton the score of tardioesB, and all seemed anxiuus to finish the day's Bport. At about 11 o'clock the sun came out brightly ulthough there was a raw, disagreeable wind blowing whioh caused many of the spectators to shake their heads and prophesy that Stam- boul would be unable to lower his record in the face of such a gale. It was also generally conceded that Mr. Corbitt's yearling colt, Freedom, would be unable to make any kind of a respectable showiDg owing to the high wind, and those who were actuated by the desire to see records lowered, felt that their time had been thrown away in viBiling the course for that purpose. The bill of fare opened with a mixed race between Mod- jeska, Puss and Patti P. This was a match race arranged between the owners of the horses, the first named being a pacer, while the two latter were trotters. Patti P. was thought by many to be fast enough to win, but the pacer was the speedieBt of the trio, and had no difficulty in defeat- ing her competitors in 2:37^ and 2:32J Patti P. was last in the first heat and second in the second heat, Puss being dis- tanced. The nextrace on the cord was one of the postponed specials from the day previous, in which Susette had secured one heat and Anita one also. Prior to the horsea starting in this race, Mr. Loeber, one of the proprietors of Directa, made proteBt to the judges against the payment of any part of the purse to Sasette, as she had b9en declared distanced in the first heat and yet was allowed to start again in the second, and also aBked that the testimony of several bystanders be taken, who were fully cognizaDt of the real facts in the case, and furthermore declared that he could absolutely prove that the Palo Alto mare had been shut out in the first heat aB at first announced by the judges. Ibe officials refused to listen to any evidence on the part of Mr. Loeber, but called Havey, the driver of Susette, into the stand, whereupon he was duly sworn and deposed that his horse was inside the distance Hag when the Hag fell. Mr. Loeber aUo notified the judges that he would carry the case to the Board of Review and have the matter adjudicated by the higher authority. The three horses were then called for what proved to be the last heat in [the race, as the conditions were best two in three. Susette cut out the pace from the time the word was given, and was never headed in the heat, winning it and the match iu 2:23} by a dozen lengths from Anita, who waB second, Directa winning. SUMMARY.

Then came the other postponed specials, the startersjin which were Sidney J., Sondan and Vidette, each having one heat on the previous afternoon, In the pool box Sidney was the pronounced first choice, selling for $25, Vidette for $10 and Soudan for $8. When the word was given they alt started off together, but before the middle of the first torn was reached, each had played hop, skip and jump. At the quarter pole Sidney and Vidette had settled down to hard work, the former leading by half a length, with Soudan many lengths behind. At the half-mile pole there were at least three open lengths of daylight between Sidney and Vidette. although the latter was coming very fast; breaking a couple of times, the mare lost all chances for the heat, Sidney win- ning in a very eaBy manner in 2:30£, Soudan just saving his distance. At the conclusion of this heat Mr. Murphy, of San Jose, the owner of Soudan, appealed to the judges to be allowed to withdraw his stallion, as in the former heat he had cut himBelf very badly on the quarters. A visit was made to hiB stall by two of the judges, and permission was given the gentleman to withdraw his entry. For the fifth heat Sidney sold for $25, Vidette finding a few friends who were willing to risk $5 on her chances. Sidney proved his staying abilities by winning very easily in 2:31 J, Vidette act- ing rather badly throughout the heat. The following is the SUM MART.

A $400 purse was offered for the side wheel division, the starters being Gold Medal and Princess Alice. After the Bpeed shown by the mare during the earlier portion of the week, she was made first choice at $25, Gold Medal selling for $10. McDowell, who was driving Gold Medal, evidently intended to break the heart of the mare, carrying her to the half mile pole at a 2:12 gait, but she had plenty of speed to stand him off, and had no difficulty in winning the heat by three lengths in 2:18. Pool selling now absolutely stopped as the result was a foregone conclusion. In the sec. ond heat the half mile was reached in 1:07£, the pace telling very perceptibly on Gold Medal, Alice winning by many lengths in 2:16. The third and last heat of the race was equally uninteresting to the spectator as Princess Alice won as she pleased in 2.17J, there being more than a dozen lengths between her and her competitor as she passed under the wire.

The three- year-old stake was the next race on the pro- gramme, the society adding $400 to the event. By consent cf all interested, the distance was waived, and Millie Wilkes Bold for .$20, Lynette and Lizzie F. selling as a field for $10. It is rare that the speed of any trotting horse is so much overlooked by the betting fraternity as it was in this race, for although Millie Wilkes sold as favorite in the pool box, Lynette could have distancfid the field at almost any stage of the race. She won the first heat by three lengths only in 2:29}; in the second heat she absolutely walked under the wire in 2:32 J, while in the third heat, Worth Ober, her driver, urged up the handsome daughter of Lynwood, and she com- pleted the distauce in 2;25A.

As is well known Stamboul's record of 2:124. was identical with that of Palo Alto, both of the Btidliona haviug secured their marks at Napa last year. It had been prettily generally advertised that the son of Sultan would be sent on the last day of the meeting to beat his former record if possible, add that probably accounted for the larger attendance at the last day of the races. After the first heat in the special, the great stallion was brought out by Johnny Goldsmith, and the announcement was made from the judges' stand that he would be driven to try and beat his present record. Ab stated before, the wind had been blowing very hard all the morning, but for some unaccounta- ble reason, all at once it died down until there was hardly a breath of air stirring. The flags hung listlessly from the. poles, and the cessation of the wind was the general canse of comment. Taking advantage of the lull, Goldsmith very quickly nodded for the word, only having scored a couple of times. Andy McDowell always ready and willing to assist a fellow driver, was np behind the runner and by his coraunchelike screamB probably added to the excitement, and caused Stamboul to go faster than he otherwise would have done. When Goldsmith found that he had the stallion go- ing steadily, the word was given and away he went to try and beat old Father Time. It is always a risky undertaking, as there is the certainty against uncertainty. The eighth pole was reached in 16 Beconds, and the quarter in 32$. When going np the incline bis Bpeed was decreased some, what, the three-eigbths being made in 50 seconds flat; 1:06 J was the time given for the half mile and many then thought that he would fail of accomplishing the desired object. How- ever, the rise in the backstretch always takes somewhat of a horse's speed away, and the moment the big stallion found himself on level ground, his gait was increased; the five- eighths was negotiated in 1:22 J-, and the three-quarters in 1:39 J. As they turned into the stretoh Andy brought the run- ner up a trifle closer, Goldsmith urging Stamboul to the top of his soeed; down came the gallant horse, upon whom every eye was turned, and "he can't do it" was heard from all sides, yet still Goldsmith had every confidence in the ability of the horse and never stopped urging his charge on to the wire. As the trotter and the runner flashed paBt the judges* stand, there was a sigh of relief to think that the great tension was over, and a spontaneous burst of applause came from the throats of those preBeni, as hundreds of watches had caught the time, 2:11£. Even with this remarkable mile, disappointment was ex. pressed by many as it had been fondly hoped that Napa would be the scene of Nelson's record being broken, and to come so near the mark and to fail in the accomplishment was a source ofregret to many, however, the enthusiasm was un bounded, people shook hands with one another in the tran. sport of their joy, and it was conceded that with two weeks' more good weather and barring accidents that Stambonl would yet have the stallion record of the world. Although the performance of Stamboul had created considerable ex- citement, it was as nothing compared to what ensued but a few minutes afterwards when Goldsmith brought out for a trial, the yearling stallion Freedom by Sable Wilkes, dam Laura Drew by Arthurton; 2nd dam Molly Drew by Winth- rop; 3rd dam Fanny Fern (the dam of Balkan 2:29}) by Jack Hawkins. Again the wind commenced to blow even worse than before, and there were but very few present who expec- ted that thiB great son of Sable Wilkes would be able to re- duce the yearling stallion record, which up to that time was held by Faustino. It will be remembered that at the Bay District Track last year Faustino was given a mile by Jas A. Dustin in 2:35 beating the former record held by Von Wilkes,* Mr. Page, the starting judge announced to the audience that it was the request of Mr. Goldsmith that all persons Bhould get off the track aod the utmost silence maintained, as the colt was very high Bpirited and it took but little to frighten him which might eventually cause him to break. An almoBt breathless silence ensued, and Johnny scored the youngster up once or twice and finally finding that he wbb going to his satisfaction, the word was nodded for and the yearling sent off on his mission. The eighth pole was reached in 18 sec. ondB; the quarter in 37 A, the three-eigbths in 56£ and the one-half in 1 :17$. It will be remembered by our readers that there is a rise of almost seven feet on the back stretch of the Napa track and conse- quently the second quarter is a very slow one, bnt from there out there is a gradual decline, which as. sists the horses very materially in making fast time on the last half; the three-quarters pole was reached in 1:55, while the mile was completed in theremarkable time, for a yearling of 2:29$. wiping out, not only the yearling stallion record of Faustino bnt also knocking a second and three-quarters from the performance of Norlaioe which has stood for such a long time: when it 1b considered that the last quarter was made in the remarkable time of 34 J seconds it can readily be under- stood what a speedy colt the new record breaker is. Ap" plause and oheerB were aocorded to both the colt and the driver, Mr. Goldsmith having to lift his bine cap many times in answer to the recognition; when Goldsmith came np to weigh, many of his friendB Bhook hands with him and in his quiet, nnassumitig manner calmly said "I wish therehad been no wind, I would then have shown you a good mile." Mr. Corbitt, the owner of Freedom was kept busy for the balance of the afternoon receiving congratulations from his friends, and it is sufficient to say that the future success of Freedom was drank in many bottles of wine. The free for all trottiug race for a purse of $1,500 had only two paid np entries, they being Hazel Wilkes and Margaret S; the lameneBB which had prevented Margaret S from start* ing in other races during the week compelled her owner to keep her in the stable, consequently Hazel Wilkes had a walk over for the first money; she wbb only jogged to the five-eighths pole, then Mr. Goldsmith turned her head loose, ooming home the last quarter in 32A seconds. 1890 ^Ixe fPrecte and jiporisumw. 375 The great betting race of the day, and in fact of the week, was the one in which there were three starters, for a special pnrse of $400, the named horses being Mary Lou, Emma Temple and Maggie E. When the betting first commenced on this race Mary Lou was the favorite at $25, Emma Tem- ple selling for SI 5, Maggie E bringing up the rear at $11 or $12; pools were sold io this race at these odds on Friday night, but wheD the big money began to roll into the box at the track, Maggie E sold for $25, Mary Lou $20, and Emma Temple $16. There was but little scoring before the word was given; all three got off on even terms; Maggie immedi- ately cot out the work with Mary Lou hanging close to her, Emma Temple evidently being laid up for the heat. At the quarter Maggie E led by two lengths, and by about the same distance at the half. Mary Lou made two slight breaks on Ihe upper turn, and was at least four lengths behind when the three-quarters pole was reached. McCord, who was driving Mary Lou, tried his utmost to overlake Maggie E in the stretch, but without avail, the latter winning by three lengths in 2;19£, which is the same time as her record made two years or more ago; Emma Temple showed up very lame, and only brought $5 in the second heat, Mary Lou selling for $9, while Maggie E sold like hot cakes at $25 On the second score up they went off, Maggie E again taking the lead. Mary Lou pre6Bing her very hard for supremacy. Mag- gie E was a much better mare than on tne Saturday pre- vious, and was never overtaken, winning the second heat with plenty of spetd to spare, in 2:23i, Emma Temple being distanced- Pools now sold at S.oO for the favorite, Mary Lou brioging $8, $9 and $10. Agan McCord hung on close to Maggie's wheel all the way down the backstretch and round the upper turn, but Vioget had plenty of reserve speed in Maggie, and on entering the homestretch, drew away gradu- ally, although he won ihe beat by a half length only in2:21f.

After the regalar programme of the day, Wanda, owned by the La Siesta Ranch, was driven by Vioget two miles, accom- panied by a runner, (his simply being a work out for the mare and not a test of speed or of enduranoe. The daughter of Eros nm^e the first mile in 2:17£. and the second in 2:20 flat, notwithstanding the fact that she made a most disastrous break on the upper turn. This is a very fast mare and with age should prove dangerous among any class of horses, on the Paci6c Coast or elsewhere. Mr. Salisbury, to add to the pleasure of the afternoon, had two of Mb groonis bring out for inspection on the quar- ter stretch, Margaret S. 2:12£, the record she procured over the kite-shaped track at Independence less than two months ago, and Homestake, who was introduced as the fastest trot- ting horse on the Pacific Coast, he having gone two consecu- tive miles in 2:144 and 2:14^. A call was made for Direct, and the owner very obligingly had McDowell bring the little stallion out on the track, around which he was Bent once accompanied by a runntr. Notwithstanding the severe injur- at Saginaw Michigan during last summer- McDowell sent him from the wire so fast that it seamed almost as though he was flying; the eighth pole was reached in 15 seconds and the quarter was made in 31 seconds, and there can be no doubt but what he also would have gone a phenomenal mile had it not been for the terrific wind which was blowing down the back stretch. Notwithstanding this great disadvantage the hBlf mile was reached in 1;06£, but the Btrain was too much for the game little son of Director, and Andy held him back as it seemed too much like punish- ment to ask the horse to go against such strong odds, the lattfcT half of the mile was finished in an easy jog, the full mile being completed in 2:19£, It is greatly to be regretted that such an obstacle as the heavy gale of wind prevented Direct from showing what he really could do. His owner and also the driver are positive that under favorable condi- tions Direct can beat any mark heretofore made by Margaret S., and as there are to be several record meetings during the next month, we sincerely trust that Mr. Salisbury will have the stallion kept in go id condition so that a mark commen- surate with Mb speed may be recorded against him. It might not be out of place to state that Bince his return from the EaBt he has been worked only three times, once at Sacra- mento, the best mile being 2:23; once at Stockton, the best mile being 2 :22*. and at Fresno, where his beBt mile was made in the mud, in 2:28. This ended the second annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association, and that it has ended with a financial success can hardly be said, yet still there is every indication that there will be no loss on the meeting, and the breeders of the State feel amply paid in the fine work that has been shown during the eight days, for all the trouble to which they have gone in bringing the meeting ^o a successful conclusion.

When you are hurt yon use Darby's Fluid. Do the same for your horses and dogs. San Francisco, Oct. 22, 1890. Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — As your paper has always devoted more or less space to the matter of reform in racing, I wish to say something about the slovenly way in which forfeits are allowed to be incurred in the United States. We have, as you are aware, some twelve or fifteen rich men in America who would lather win a race worth 81,000 than to have one of their horses pulled for twenty times that sum. Every time one of these men wins a race, it increases the value of all the saleable stock he has on hand. It is this class, therefore, that alone protects the public from the thousand manifold turf jobs and robberies concocted by the lower and more desperate class of needy adventurers who hang upon the verge of racing. The Fatority Stake was first run for in 1SSS and won by Mr. S. Bryant's ch g Proctor Knott, a son of the great Luke Blackburn. The stake was nominally $44 500, bat I learn that of this amount, less than §32,0C0 has been collected. Last year it was won by Hon. W. L. Scott, of Erie, Pa., and its face value waB close on $60,000, the greater part of which remains unpaid to this day. This year its alleged valne is in excess of $70,000, but Mr. Belmont, who ran first and second for it, has received so far less than half that amount, although the race was run two months ago. This thing of accepting the promissory notes of men whom one does not know and has never seen, is something that would not be for one moment tolerated in any other sort of business. Yet secretaries of jockey clubs accept them aa if every man in the nation were an Aator or a Stanford. It looks to me to be radically wrong. Everything that involves a wager is, to a greater or less extent, a gambling tranEaction, and all gambling should be done for cash. Down in Australia, whence I have recently returned, all forfeits are paid in cash. The man who would ask Tom Clibborn or George Rowley to take his note for a forfeit in a race, would be quietly told: "It is not customary, sir — we muBt have the cash or decline to accept your entry." There would be nothing more to be said. But in the United Slates a man wins a big sweepBtake race and then he gets the added money and the starters' entrance in cash, leaving bim to collect all the forfeits from non-starters for the next two years. The club is not responsible, and the winner knows very well he cannot enforce the payment of such notes in any court of law. It is to this cause, more than any other, that I attribute the retirement of Messrs. Cassatt and Brown, and the con- templated withdrawal of Ho:q. W. L. Scott and that glorious old high-priest of the turf, AugUBt Belmont, Esq. These gentlemen's money was always ready if any one else won, and they naturally expected to be treated likewise. When they find that, after all they have risked in getting to a race with a good horse, they can only receive one-half of what is just due them, is it any wonder they feel that the man who races fairly and pays honestly has no protection, and retires from the turf accordingly? There is enough crooked racing done already in the United Statep, even with men of the stamp of Belmont, HBg- gin, Scott and Withers on the turf to protect the public. What will it be when they retire? And who will see that the public get a run for their money, when these gentlemen are forced to retire because they cannot collect what they have honestly won? Therefore, in fairness to all concerned, racing should be conducted upon a cash basis. A man living out in Missouri or Dakota, can make entries by a promissory note in races to be run at Morris Park in October. He goes out in the early spring and races through the Western circuit which is lined, as everybody knows, with the worst kind of thieves. If he has a good horse and the touts find it ont, he is allowed to win, but the "pullerB" and "ropers" have their agents at the pool box and win out dollars, where he wins dimes. At last he gets together several thousand dollars and goes in for a. big coup. His horse is pulled in the interest of the ring, and all his winnings are swept away. The fall races at Mor- ris Park come along, and he has not money enough to get there. The races are over and he is called on to pay, but has no money. He is put down as a defaulter and a "welch- er," although not a dishonest man at heart. This is only oDe case in hundreds I could name. Therefore I say that a reform is needed in this matter and a return to the cash system of forfeits absolutely necessary at onoe, or we shall have the millionaires leaviog the tnif forever; and when they are gono, jobbery will the rule and fair contests the exoeption. To keep them in full harmony with the sport, cash forfeits must be demanded and notes re- fuged. The man who cannot afford to pay cash on a forfeit six months in advance of the race, has no business on the turf. He needs what money he has got for the support and education of his family. I suppose that both Mr. Haggin and Mr. Baldwin, and, perhaps, Mr. Theodore Winters, could bear ample testimony to the truth of what I have said above, as they have all won large and valuable sweepstakes in the Eastern States. De- siring to see the sport kept up in the future and believing fully that there is no salvation for it if rich men are com- pelled to withdraw because they cannot collect what they have honeslly^won, I clamor to have racing put upon a cash basis and the promissory note abolished altogether. True, it will greatly decrease the number of entries, but it will insure winners a full pajment of what they have won; and will, for that reason, put racing on a much better foot- ing in America. Every man who owns tan thoroughbred mares and a stallion is interested in seeing this reform inau- gurated and that with all reasonable speed, Hidm.<- .. Return of Cy Mulkey. There is nothing succeeds like success, and the old saying is more tban carried out in the result of the trip made by Cy Mulkey this summer. When the Blood Horse Meeting of last Spring was a thing ot the past, Cy shipped two horses to Portland, Oregon, to take part in the spring meeting at place, the thoroughbreds being Tom Daly and Sinfax, the latter having been leased from L. J. Rose, who looked on the colt as of little account. The pair of "bangtails" gave a good account of themselves at Portland and also at Tacoma, where they were in the pink of condition winning in almost all the races in which they started. In the course of time Mr. Mulkey added to his string the roan gelding Tim Murphy, who had been named after the former owner of old Black Maria, an historical mare owned in the bygone days up in Butte County. From the time that the small stable was first turned loose at Portland, there has not been a race but what some part of the money has fallen to the share of Mulkey, his horses demonstrating that superior judgment in training is bound to bring about winning results. Missoula, Deer Lodge, Anaconda, Butte and Helena were each visited in turn, and although all kinds of combinations were suggested to the owner, he stood aloof from the would-be, sure-thing men, and ran the animals on their merits, making a handsome return for his honesty cf purpose and independence. Toward the end of the season it was almost impossible to get any money in the pool box againBt the Mulkey entries as it was considered a foregone conclusion that he was bound to prove the winner. On leaving Montana Cy retraced his steps to Portland and took part io the last meeting held there, again showing up well among the winning stables. Prior to leav- ing Montana, Tom Daly was disposed of, his owner receiv- ing a good long price for the gelding. All kinds of weights were tried by the handicappers to prevent Sinfax and Tim Murphy from winning, but with no other result as the tour was almost a complete round of victories. A few statistics will 6how how uniformly successful the Mulkey Stable has bsen since it left San Francisco in May last. But perhaps it would be better to give an account of all the races that Mr. Mulkey has taken part in since the races started on the open- ing day of the Blood Horse Meeting, and then it will be seen how successful one small stable can be when properly looked after. Daly started eleven times, winning seven limes, has two seconds to his credit, one third and once unplaced, bin- fax started fifteen time3, won twelve races, was twice second aod once third, carrying as high as 123 pounds. Tim Mur- phy started also fifteen times, was eleven times first, second three times, and once third. This is a grand showing, forty- one starts and in forty races money was won. As is only natural, Cy feels highly elated over the result of his tour and h*s determined to become a public trainer, so that hereafter he will be prepared to take horses and prepare them for the arduous work of a campaign. Mr. Mulkey has been bo suc- cessful in the past that he should have little or no difficulty in securing all the horses necessary to keep his time folly employed. During the season he has purchased Sinfax from Mr. Rose, paying for the two year old colt $2,000, and dur- ing the trip has twice refused $5,000 for him. He is at pres- ent at the Bay District track, in splendid condition, and should give a good account of himself at the fall meeting. Tim Murphy is at present turned out, having injured one of his hoofs in the last race in which he took part at Portland. Both of the horses are looking suprrb and fit to race for a man's life, and it is to be Binoerely wished that the old train. er may be as successful in 1891 as he has been during the present season.

Plans for the building have been submitted, and work on the struc- ture will soon be commenced. C X Larabie, Home Park, Mont., has two developed mares, Lady Triceps, 2:28, by Triceps, and Bessie Franklin, 2:29}. by Ben Franklin, and both have colts by their side by the developed sire Jerome Eddy, 2:16}. Tom Kinney one of By Holly's pupils who has been for some time driving for Mr. Topham at Milpitas has left the latter gen'leman's employ and is now working Soudan and several colts for D. J. Murphy at Milpitas. The Monmouth people intend building a new stable and saleB naddock in connection with a three-qnarter course to be used for training yearlings. The improvement will be located between the main track and Oceanport. Rupee, the Guy Wilkes three year old who has made such a successful campaign, ran a nail into his foot at Napa, and though his foot is about all right again, he was sent down to San Mateo, where he will have a well earned rest. The fastest mile Goldsmith ever drove was last Saturday at Napa, 2:111, but be expects to go faster soon, for Mr. Hobart informed him on Sunday that he could start the horse every Saturday he felt inclined until the last day in December. Mr. D. P. Cox presented Khody Patterson with a $200 diamond ring on the 9th at Terre Haute, in appreciation of his driving of Uncle Sam. Another of Bhody's friends who found "a sleeper" on Uncle Sam, gave him a silk umbrella. G. Van Gorden, Senator Hearst's superintendent returned last Tuesday from San Simeon. He Bays the youngsters all look well and healthy. He expects Donathan back again in a few davs with Almont and several of thehorBes which have been in the East. 7,500 guineas is now the price of the Btallion St. Honorat by Hermit, oat of Devotion by Btockwell. Several years ago a prominent Californian, while in England, intended to buy him, but unfortunately was sick in bed when the sale was held', and missed the horse who sold for a tithe of his present price. "Colonel," said Splan, after Hal Pointer's great race at Terre Haute, "lets yon and I give MesBrs. Hamlin and Dun- bar $10 000 for the use of Hal Pointer and JohDBton for July 4th and give a match race. Why the groundB could not be -ecured large enough to hold the people." There is a great deal of complaint this year in Eastern rac- ing circles about forfeits. Belmont's Futurity was worth $74,000 on paper, but there is said to be still something like S30 000 outstanding. Sam Bryant has not yet collected all his Futurity forfeits for 1888. The other big stakes are the ;>me, The stakes to be run for at the Victoria Racing Club, of Melbourne. Australia, for the Beason of 1890 91 amount to over $3,000,000, with over $2 000 000 added. The handicap sweepstakes for the Melbourne Cup, run November 4th, has 850,000 and a $760 trophy added. J. A. Goldsmith last Monday afternoon brought seven trotters to the Bay District, having sent the rest of his horses home on Sunday. The seven are Stambonl 2:11 J, Regal Wilkes 2:17}, Hazel Wilkes 2:20, Vida Wilkes 2:23}, Freedom 2:29J, Millie Wilkes, the Sidney two year old, and a Director filly. Senator Hearst's Rhono wrenched his pastern in his last race at Sheepshead Bay, is in a bad shape, and may not be seen again at the post. It is to be hoped that trainer Cooper will be able to bring him around all right, as his retirement would be a serious loss to the Btable, which has been in hard enough luck this season. It is interesting to note how many record breakers thera are at the Bay District Track. Sunol holds the two three and four year old records, while Regal Wilkes has the best two year old stallion record and Freedom the yearling record. Stamboul 2:111 and Palo Alto 2:12} both have a great chance of beating the 2:10} of Nelson. P. P. JohnBton of Lexington, Ky., President of the Na- National Trotting Association, will sport silk on the running turf. He has jnat put in training a stable of young thor oughbreds. Being personally koown to nearly every promi- nent trottiDg horse man in the Union, this new departure of Judge Johnson will be watched with interest. There are already several thoroughbreds in training for the Blood Horse meeting at the Bay District and Oakland traoks. Across the bay T. G. Jones is rapidly getting Jack- son, the well bred son of Luke Blackburn and Ivy Leaf into shape again after his trip to Nevada, while J. H. Muse has Fanny F, Wild Oats and Katisha, but none of them are in very great trim just now. We understand that the Directors of the Blood Horse Asso- ciation will make an effort to induce Mr. Haggin to exhibit Firenzi and Salvator at the meeting to be held next month at the Bay Distriot traok. The two champions should prove a great drawing card, and as Mr. Haggiu is himself a director of the association, it is hoped he will assist them to that extent. The Bay District Track is now the home of the crack trot- ters. The Palo Alto stable under Marvin's charge being lo- cated in Hickok'B old stable, while Goldsmith has ssvi n head in the rear of the grand stand— where Marvin had his string last fall, La Siesta Ranch, Dustin's stable, Nolan's, Brandow's and others being scattered around in the various stables. The Australian horse Paiamatta by Cheviot out of Scraps, won a good race on the closing day at Morris Park; carrying 112 lbs, he beat Masterlode 98, Benedictine 122, Fosrnede 103, and Elyton 113; the distance was one mile. Paramatta is one of the horses brought over by J. K. Newton and after- wards sold by him in New York. A draught from the racing stables of D. D. Withers, James Galway and B. Porter Ashe were sold at auction at Morris Park on the 17th, the lot attracting pretty sharp bidding. As a rule, good prices were obtained. The 17 from Mr. With- ers' Stable brought $25,225; 9 from the Preakness Stable, $7,235; and Mr. Ashe's six fetching $6,850. The follow-ing is not a new 6tory told of Tom Olliver, the once famous cross country jockey, but it seems to be worth repeating: Finding his horse had no chance in the first round of a Bteeplechaee, he secreted himself in a haystack till the horses came round again, when he joined in and won. "Where on earth did you come from ?" asked one of the riders as the fresh horse shot up to him. "I was waiting on yer," said Tom, "I was waiting on yer." Australians, who should know more of Mr. Alfred Josephs than we do, have not an exalted opinion of him. "Augur," one of the best writerB in the Colonies, says in the Australasian, while mentioning a conversation he had with the well known rider (Bowes) that he "with other Australians, considers Mr. Alfred Josephs' assumption of the role of a 'leading Aus- tralian sportsman' as a piece of impertinence." In speaking of the would be archers, an exchange says: Jockeys are inscrutable institutions. The best of them ride like artists on Monday, and like farmers on Tuesday. On Wednesday they are suspended, and on Thursday we find them reinstated. On Friday they are generally drunk, in consequence of which on Saturday they ride without vigor, being weak from "reducing."' What jockeys do on Sunday the Lord only knows. Allen Farm, at PittBtield, owns Sable Hayward (dam of Ru- pee, three-year-old pacing record, 2:16}). She is by Poscora Hayward, dam Sable (dam of Sable Wilkes 2:18), by The Moor. The mare dropped a filly, full sinter to Rupee this spring, and has produced four foals in all, though not seven years old. Rancho del Paso also owns a relative to Rupee in the stallion at present called 'Riverside', a full brother to Sable Hayward. He is said to be a natural trotter Andy McDowell still thinks Crioket is the only pacer, while Goldsmith and the astute Holly say that when once he holds the lines over Yolo Maid he will change his opinion, and as Holly and Goldsmith have both driven tne Maid they should have some idea of her capabilities, and Holly offered to bet McDowell $100, McDowell to be the judge, that after handling the Maid he would say she could go the first quarter faster than Cricket. Oo the 16th, at Morris Park, R. P. ABhe sold at public auction Bix thoroughbreds, including the celebrated sprinter Gernldine and the useful Flood Tide. The Bix sold were: Geraldlne, cb m, 6 yeare, by (jrinstead - Cou=fn Peggy: T. W.

This horse, by Santa Clans 2000, record 2:17}, dam Sweetness 2:21} by Volunteer 55, was foaled in 1SS2, and is the only sire of his age that has a grandson in the 2:30 list. This descendant of the precocious Sidney is the chestnut gelding G. W. C , pacer, 2:22}, by AdoniB 2:11}, son of Sidney. The above was published in Bruce's Live Stock Record. "C. W. G." is a pinto pacer, but can not be by Hickok's Adonis who iB only five years old, while C. W.G. is probably six or seven: We have heard great reports of Black Bart, the two year old by Three Cheers from Bonita, by Norfolk, granddam Margretta by Lexington, etc Black Bart simply romped away from the California two year olds, who went to Nevada after the California State Fair. Leh, another of Mr. Winters' horses, readily disposed of Applause Hotspur and Co when they got to Carson. He is a four year old by Joe Hooker out of Illusion, and consequently iB a full brother to Rave lie, who ran a mile in 1:39}. It is almost certain that the above two, with several other flyers, will be down for the Blood Horse Meeting. A correspondent writes to the Kentucky Stock Farm: "Merlin 2:27} iB the first of the get of that fast and game stallion Phallas to enter the 2:30 list, and there are several mares of his get ready to beat 2:30, which will silence parties who have Bald that he would never get fast trotters. The dam of Merlin is Mila C, 2:26i, by Blue Bull. It is signi- fjeant that his first 2:30 performer is out of a mare by Blue Bull. The daughters of Blue Bull are going right to the front in the matter of foaling 2:30 trotters when mated with stallions that have a Btrong trotting inheritance." John Splann, while in England, was presented with an Or- loff stallion. The Orloffs are the trotting bred horseB of Rus- sia. The manner of handling the trotter in the land of the Czar is entirely different from that in this conntry. The dis- tances for races are never less than two miles. The vehicles cumbersome and heavy, and the time made nothing like as fast as in this country. "When I was in England," said Splann, "the Budd Doble of Russia called upon me, and through courtesy I hitched up and gave him a ride behind Mambrino Sparkle 2:17. When I got her up to near speed, I thought he would blow out of the wagon. It was something he had never experienced. Many men complain about a few of their colts selling for low figures at sales, and while it looks like a dead loss, all and more, too, will come back in the future if the yoUDgsters are made of the right kind of stuff. Woodburn sold Maud S for a song under the hammer, and her performances brought thousands into the Woodburn coffers. A prominent breeder once remarked: 'T stood once and saw fifteen of my coltB given away by an auctioneer. None of them were sold under contract to bring so much or no commission, is iB now done by a man I could name, and who will soon hold another sale, and they proved the best sales I ever made in my life, as I afterwards received three or four customers from every town which one of those youngsters was taken. Memoir, this year's English St. Leger winner, was bred by the late Lord Glasgow, and was bought by the Duke of Portland as a yearling for $1,500 guineas. She is by St. Simon, dam Quiver by Toxopholite, second dam by Young Melbourne, from Brown Bess by Camel. As a two-year old she ran seven times and won three races. Her first race this year was in the One Thousand Guineas, which Bhe would have won had she not been sacrificed to her stablecompanion Semolina. It is interesting to compare her breeding with the celebrated stallion Musket who has done such great ser- vice in New Zealand. Ha is by Toxopholite, dam by West Australian (son of Melbourne) from Brown Bess by Camel. Among the many men who will be made haDpy by the grand mile trotted by Freedom last Sa'.urday at Napa should be Dan DeNoyelles, who, says an exchange, "Is a believer in the development in Btallions and mares intended for breed- ing purposes. He bred his mare to Adelaide, 2:19J. to Nut- wood, 2:18f. aud got the two mares Nina De, 2:26}, and Addie De, 2:25f When Nina De got her record Bhe was in foal to Sable Wilkes, 2:18, and the foal proved to be a filly, and she was this year bred to Guy Wilkes, 2:15}. Addie De got her record of 2:25} thiB year, and she is in foal to Wilton 2:19}. Mr. DeNoyelles also has a fine two-year-old colt by Robert McGregor, 2:17}, out of Adelaide, 2:19J, that can show a 2:40 clip very easily." Another race horse owner will appear on the running turf * next year in the person of Chester W. Chapen ot New York, says the Sporting News. For six years Mr. Chapen has owned' the old Erricksoo farm of eighty aores near Morrisville N. J. The larger part of the farm is now being converted into a half mile track, which will be finished IbiB week, t pon the track Mr Chapen will train his yearlings, six of which are. stabled on the firm. Ten more yearlings are quartered in. New York. The seventeen horses are entered for the raceff next year. Large stables are te be built on the place, which will be one of the finest traioiDg tracks in the country. Mr. Chnpen has engaged as trainer Michael Coleman, who was assistant trainer for the Withers stable for many years. Mr. W. R. Wilson has made an oft>r for the whole of the Sylvia Park thoroughbreds, as well as the farm itself, bat the offer has been refused. It was Mr. Wilson's intention, says Augur, had he become possessed of the valuable New Zealand Stud Company's estate, to have kept it on in the same niant er as the company, and hold annual sales of year- lings. Some of the mares would probably have been re- moved to St. Albans, and several of the St. Albans mares would have been sent to New Zealand, where Nordenfeldt would have remained as lord of the harem. Whatever may be the result of the negotiations between the present owners and intending purchasers, I sincerely hope the Sylvia Park establishment will not be broken up. There has been for several jeatB a good deal of starling price betting in England and every onoe in a while a big kick arises as to what is the time of starting, but a short while ago the committees of TatterfalPs and the Newmarket Subscription RoomB argued the case thoroughly and deoided that "for betting purposes the time of starting for any race shall be deoided in accordance with Rule 38 of the Rules of Racing." Rule 3S reads as follows: "The starter Bhall re- port to the Btewards the time at which eaoh race was actually started; also the time of the first, if any false starts, which shall If held to fix the time of starling for that race. He shall also report by whom, or by what cause any delay wae occasioned." The italios are our own, and, it will be seen,, oontain the whole gist of the question. 1890 3?lie ^vttdtv and J^rxristtxau. 377 Mr. Foster is expected down from Oregon with Oregon Eclipse for the Blood Horse meeting. Oregon Eclipse is said to be very speedy by the Montana contingent; he iB by Joe Hooker out of Lulu Eiggs, the well known sprinter. A. J. Welch, the well known Hartford, Conn., horseman began life as a bootblack on the streets of Pittsburg. To-day he is said to be worth §500,000, and made it all on the race course. The story of his success is an exceptional one. Eighteen years ago he was blackmg boots around the grounds of the Pittsburg Driving Association, and having a good run of luck invested $1 in a pool ticket and won. He placed his winnings on a second horse and won again. Then he re- solved to follow the races as a business. He was shrewd and managed to pick up enough good "tips'* to keep him win* uing. He finally bought a trotter of his own and put it on the track. The investment was a good one, as the horse de- veloped great speed, and a few years afterward Mr. Welch sold him to an English capitalist for S10,000. He now owns a good stable, and is reported to be worth in the neighbor- hood of half a million. One peculiar method he haB which he invariably follows is that he never bets on any kind of race except a trotting match . The thoroughbred horse has' become the synonym of game- ness through the number of times that he had been tested and found equal to the occasion. A number of years ago a horse Darned MoWhirter ran the last quarter of a mile at St. Louis with both legs broken, and at Morris Park last week Best Boy gave a very similar exhibition. He stumbled, threw his rider, but came hobbling down the track after his field till he reached thegrand stand. Herehe turned around and looked up at the crowd intelligently, held up his fore leg, mute evidence of his defeat. The hoof was merely banging to the leg by the mereBt shed of nerve and all the way down the horse was running on the bone which pro- truded. Lambley, who had the mount on Best Boy, had his shoulder bone broken. The Bame day in the sixth race Torohlight ran away with Slack. He dashed the boy against the fence and threw him off. In trying to escape he tram- pled on the fallen jockey. All this occurred in full view of the horror-stricken thousands in the grand stand. Ooe lady was so affected that she tumbled off a chair and added one more in the chapter of accidents by breaking her leg. Slack was picked np insensible. There was a deep gash in his leg and he was otherwise badly shaken up. but was not seri- ouBly hurt. The death of Mr. James White having rendered void all the EDglish nominations in his name, the question is cer- tain to be revived, says Augur, aod there will be the usual amount of talk and paper warfare on the part of those who do and those who don't believe in the English inle. It ha9 been threshed out for the last 20 or 30 years, but in conser- vative old England they seem to be as far off a solution of the difficulty as ever. About four years ago, when Macheath, a favorite for the Derby, was ruled out in consequence of the death of his owner, a writer in Baily penned some of the most sensible remarks I have ever read concerning this burn- ing question: "Another relic of barbarism in raoing is .the law rendering nominations void on the death of the nomina- tor. It appears to me to be only playing into the hands of the speculators, while robbiDg the representatives of the late owner of the legitimate worth, in many cases of a good horse that has been carefully entered and trained for the purpose of fulfilling these engagements. Why an owner in hiB life- time should not be allowed to insure the validity of his nomi- nations by payment, or his executors be permitted to do so within a certain time after hiB death, and before the date of the engagements, I cannot by an fair reasoning make out. Over and over again we Bee the present rule step in and dis- qualify good horses, and thus render them a tithe of the value that they otherwise would be. Bey del Bey's failure to show conspicuously in the race •for the Titan Stakes wai a disappointment to his party, says Druid Hill in the New York Sportsman, without being alto- gether a surprise. The fact is that they prefer a fast track for the handsome colt who promises to be a thorn in the Bide of Brother Ehret and his trainer, the immaculate Matt Allen. Prior to the opening at Morris Park they thought the colt to have the surest sort of mortgage on the Titan. In his work Bey del Bey shows form enough to speed and stay with the beBt of his year. "Yon have a good-looking colt," the writer observed to Trainer Allen as the colt was being prepared in the pad- dock. "Oh, yes," replied Mr. Matt somewhat bitterly. "He ought to be for the money he cost," and then young Mr. Ehret and his side-partner, Mr. McElwee, oame along and agreed that while the track did not quite suit their fancy, still, on the colt's work in private he should come close to scoring firs; bracket for the new and enthusiastic proprietor of the white jaoket and iti scarlet stars and trimmings. But it was not Jo be, that day at least. After the racj the opinion waB rife in many quarter that the brother of El Bio is a counterfeit of the rarest kind. But I cannot subscribe to this, in view of Bey del Bey's conformation and style. Surely the coquet- tish star of good fortune will yet rise on the horizon of Mr. Ehret, dispelling the discouraging experiences of his Bhort connection with the turf: Turf writers on metropolitan dailies have much to answer for, to at least our popular and prominent gentleman who is always to be seen on the race course, the inevitable cigar in his month, his hands in his trooserd pockets and his derby hat slightly inclined downward over his 1-ft temple. David Tenny Pulsifer, or "the Colonel," as he is known in the East, marvels at the peculiar faculty possessed by the scribes of ohaDging a Bilver dollar into a $100 bank note. During the entire racing season Colonel Pulsifer's "enormous winning." have furnished the dailies with plenty of material for gossip On Kirkover, Sir George (one two three), Punster Jr. aod Park Bidge, not to speak of Tenny, the genial "Colonel" has been reported upon different occasions to have won a for- tune. Thefaotis, however, that "the Colonel' is by no means a heavy bettor. The money lost on Tenny in the fam- ous match race in June came almost entirelv from the Dwy- er pocket. One ticket which called for S'22 000 oo the sway- back, and whioh was issued by Chicago parties, was exhibi- ted as the property of Tenny's owDer, when it beloDged in realty to one of the Dwyers, who has always been a stanuoh Bupporter of the hooded colt. Indeed, it is hinted that Pul- sifer lost but $2,500 on the match race, his ODly investment having been one-bnlf the $5,000 stake money. Other reports referred to of the Colonel's large winnings have no founda- tion in fact. Only the other day ho jocularly told me. says a New Yoik writer in the Horseman, that if he bought him- self on the newspapers' estimate of his acquired wealth and sold himself for what he really possesses, he would be ar- rested for embezzlement. Chaiming, who stoppei like as if she had been shot in the first race a week af.o la&i Wednesday at Moiris Park, died tbe same night from ii juries which she suttained iu tbe race. It appeals she wrenched her back so Beverely as to affect her spine, with the fatal result stated above. Bv her decease Ed Brown, better known as Brown Dick, sustains a heavy Imsb, not alone from her value as a race mare, but alao as a matron. A daughter of Prince Charlie and Nannie Bay by Gleuelg, shonld be invaluable as a broodmare. . A correspondent of the Week's Sport furnishes the follow- 1Dg, which shows how much racing tips are worth: Sir — Your laBt week's article on fraud on our race tracks prompts me to send you a few figures, Bhowing what the selections given by the six papers below would have netted if the "winner" had been played each way, and the "second horse" for place only, $5 eaoh bet, or $15 each race. I was curious to see what the "talent" could do. My figuring Bhows that either the talent are not talented or that fraud reigns supreme. 1 ° 1 • 1 : 1 ! 1 ! 1 do p rill 1 1 ; 1 o a Sbeepqhead Bay. ..

Swi- gert has a grand collection of high class thoroughbreds, and where eoch equine wonders as Salvator, Firenzi, Tremont and many others equally famous first saw the light. The Times Democrat says the farm is an exceedingly handsome and well kept one, and Kentucky boasts of few if any more elegant homesteads than the Swigert mansion, in which gen- nine old-fashioned Kentucky ideas of comfort are gracefully blended with the fruits of modern art. The first of the stud kings of the establishment shown was that grand old race horse and sire of winners, imported Glenelg. Though showing unmistakably the effects of a twenty-four years' existence, most of which has been made up of an active career upon the turf and in the stud, Glenelg still shows unmistakably the stamp of a great racehorse. Of good size, tine substanoe and great length, he shows grand racing conformation everywhere. Despite his swayed back, he still has a magnificent loin, deep brisker, oblique shoulder, long, round barrel, broad, full chest, finely arched neck, and massive, rangy quarters. Except for his sway back, age appears to sitvery lightly on Glenelg, who is still as frisky and full of fire as a two 3 ear-old. He is a rich bay, with lit- tle or no white. Several of our American trainers might derive a good deal of benefit from a letter in the London Sporting World which says: "I have noticed that winners of our great races much less frequently spriDg from horses who are sent a Btrong gallop over the course on the day next preceding the race. The fact that many trainers regularly subject horses to it would seem to imply that their charges are not thoroughly pre- rjared before leaving their stables, or that the trainer often overlooks, in his feverish anxiety to have a horse fit, the equally important requirement of freshness. Now, the daily training reports reveal that Memoir went a mile steadily on Monday, and was not on the course for a strong gallop ou Tuesday morning, when Sainfoin and Rightaway went a mile and a half at a fast pace, accompanied by Blue Green and Gonsalvo. The two latter were not allowed to be promi- nent with their other Btable companions. A horse, to show his true form must not. one would think, be in the least tired by continual and hard work to the very day of his race, bat should have done with serious training before being sent to a meeting, and given on arrival only EIich work as will main- tain his condition while ensuring compaiativo reBt. Such a policy, I think, notwitbs'anding the class of the Duke of Portland's horses, has had much influence in their extraor- dinary success in George Dawson's hands." Records are made and broken again almost every year, but it will be many a day before a driver will be able to sit behind a stallion in 2:1 H, and the same afternoon pilot a yearling colt round the track in 2:29$ as John A. Goldsmith did laBt Saturday at Napa. Goldsmith altered his tactics with his two charges, giving Samboul an easy mile in 2:30 instead of finishing up wilh a fast quarter as he had done the Saturday previous, while he gave the colt a half in 1:17 and brushed him a quarter in 0:37, which, as he explained, was to steady him, for when he attempted on Thursday to beat the record, the colt was so headstrong he could not take him back, and had to let him trot hiniBelf out. The cole this time went away nicely, trotting the firBt half in 1:17£, the three- quarters in 1:55, and finishing strong and true like an old racer, he trotted the last quarter in 0;?A$. I do not think the record will stand long, for probably next Saturday Gold- smith will start him against his record. The colt is a phe- nomenon in more ways than one. He was foaled in May, and has never had any kindergarten work, being takeu up when he was 12 months old, and bitted and broken, Bhowing himself to be a natural trotter but headstrong, and if the weather ho'ds out, he should certainly lower his record, as he has trotted a halt in 1:1U and a quarter in 0:33$. and every day will find him handier and easier to rate. That well known writer 'Hark Coui-itock' in an article in the N. Y. Herald sa*s that J. C. Hamlin in a recent letter to him regarding BelleHimlin and Snnol said: "Your views and mine agree to a dot in regard to the necessity of the trotter possessing a g.o 1 percentage of thoroughbred blood to enable it to continue the fast clip for a full mile. The colder strains in Belle's dam, her granddam and her great granddam I regard as hurtful. Still she gives me great evi- dence of her ability to trot a fast mile. As you say, I have seen both mares' method of action and can hardly decide which is the best. "I know Balle is the mobt amiable and I believe less liable to make mistakes than SudoI. bat the latter is a wouderfnl animal and a great mare, and I am very glad she is. I have already adding those now on the farm to those coming next year about one hundred of the get Df Chimes, Sand's equal and posBiblv her superior, no matter how fast she goes. Many of them have tbe Mambrino King and Almont cross and additional thoroughbred blood beyood. "I have declined the challenge, as, in my judgment, the chances are in favor of Sunol beating Belle Hamhn. Be- sides I would not put up a forfeit of S5000 and run the n*k of the mare going wroLg. You know I don't want, B»y forty or fifty years hence, when I am laid away, to have some horse- man come along and hit my tombstone a Kick and say, 'Heie lies an old_fool.' " The St. Leger Stakes, run at Donoaster last month, was the one hundred and fifteenth renewal of this time honored race, which was first run in 1776 and is three years older than the Epsom Oaks, and four years older than the Derby. The initial eveot. though the stake was not known as the St. Leger until 1878, when it was so termed in honor of Col. St. Leger, was won by Lord Rockingham's Allabacnl'a, by Sampson, ridden by J. Singleton. The original distance was two miles, over Donca&ter moor, and the first weight carried was 8 stone for colts. The weight has been altered five times, and is now 9 stone for calls and 8 stone 1 1 pounds for fillies. The course has been altered three time?, and from two miles was reduced to one mile six furlongs and 132 yards in 1826. The race was first run over the new St. Leger coarse in 1878. The veteran trainer and owner, Cy Mulkey, returned on the Columbia from Oregon last week. Mr. Malkey, who took in the Northern Circuit — Montana and Oregon — Bays he was very successful, winning right along with Sinfax, Tom Daly and Tim Murphy. Tom Daly was sold and Mr. Mal- key broaght 8'nfax, Murphy and Maggie R.( the dam of Murphy, down with him on the boat. Sinfax is the two year oid by Wildidle from Fostress, and has been Btarted fifteen times, winning twelve of them, in- cluding a mile and a quarter handicap in which he had twelve pouods the worst of tbe weighta against Coloma, Raindrop, Guido and J. M. R. Mr. Mnlsey purchased Sin- fax by telegram from L. J. Rose for $2,000 while he was in Montana. Tom Daly won seven races for the Mulkey Sta- ble this season, while Tim Murphj won eleven races out of fifteen, and equalled the record for half mile heats. He is a five year old roan gelding by imported Kyrle Daly, dam Mag- gie R; his color, a red roan, is not the color one usually ex- pects for a rucoborse, yet when carefully looked over he is built like a race horse from head to tail, and looks a regular weight carrier: he is at present slightly lame, having bruiBed his foot badly iu his last race, and will probably not be worked again for a month or two. If he is only half as good as he looks and bis record reads, what a killing could be made with him in the East'. Maggie R, the dam of Tim Mur- phy, is a racy looking chestnut mare, an inbred Belmont. She was bought by Mulkey from Mr. Murphy — after whom the horse was named, for SI, 000, and not being in foal will be bred to some of the crack Californian stallions. In speaking of the condition of Axtell, an exchange says: "The wind-puffs on his ankles kept getting larger as soon an he was taken from the Btud and jogged by Doble. Veteri- narians who were oalled in said there was no danger of a break-down, bat Doble is the soul of caution in such matters, and as a number of men were interested in the ownership of the stallion, he decided to get them together in Chicago and state the case. This was done, Doble saying that in his opin- ion the best plan was to at once throw the stallion oat of training, winter him carefully, and next year allow him to make a full season in the stud. Then, when six years old, he would be fit to trot against all records. If his leg would not stand at that time it would not just now, and to make an attempt to prepare the colt for a race with Sunol and then have him collapse would be a bad move. The other partuers in the great stallion agreed with Doble, and the programme as outlined will be carried out. There is, of course, a differ- ence of opinion as to whether or not Axtell would stand train- ing. The veterinarians may talk as much as they like about the puffs on one of his forward legs not beiDg dangerous, bnt all the same it would be a bold trainer: a reckless one, in faot, who would, under the circumstances, start out to give Axtell the hard work necessary to bring him to the pest fit for a race with SudoI. It is possible that Axtell will never trot again, but if a year's rest will cure his ailing leg, Doble will briDg him out for the world's record, which by that time is likely to be faster than 2:08*. But although Doble is care- ful, he is not afraid to act on his own judgment, even when a mistake would mean a good deal to him. This waB aptly shown after Jack had trotted a mile over the Independence track in 2:13. It was a great performance, but from the man- ner in which the gray gelling cooled out, Doble was satisfied that it was not the best effort of which the horse was capable, and consequently he was sent another mile, proving Doble's judgment to have been good by doing the distance in 2:12*. Had he failed to beat the 2:13 of his previous heat, theie would have been plenty of ptople ready to criticise Doble trying to do something that was impossible, but when tbe scheme worked well they had nothing but praise." It is very amusing to read, says that well known "Augur" in the Australasian, the miserable subterfuges of some "breeding students" after certain lines which they have denounced have proved successful. When Galopin won the Derby the detractors of the Blacklock blood had recourse 10 all sorts of insinuations respecting the colt's parentage, and several declared that he was by Delight. The phenomenal success achieved lately by Galopiu's descendants has caused the resuscitation of these baseless rumors, and Mr. W.Taylor Sharpe has replied to them. He declares that such assertions are without tbe slightest foundation. He bought Delight the year before he bought Flying Duchess, who was then in foal to Vedette, and during the interesting occupation of manu- facturing Galopin, Delight was never withiu CO miles of Fly- ing Duchess. It is a great pity, says Mr. Sharpe, that in this racing world of ours there are *o many who believe in noth- ing, enjny nothing, revel in nothing that is not either mys- terious, improbule, or dishonest. Continuing, he says that if they who put down Delight as the sire of Galopin knew the horse as he did they would never bave given him credit for siring such a horse as Galopin. He had Delight and Suffolk at the same time, and the yonng Deliehts could run rings round the young Suffolks, and he recommended all his friends to buy the Delights, to the great loss of their money and his repniation, for every Suffolk won a race of some sort, but not one Delight ever won a race of auy description; they could go three furlongs like lightning, but no further. Mr. Sharpe very nertinently continues:— "What i6 there to won- der at that Voltigeor's best son aud oDe of the Flying Dutch- man's fiueBt daughters should produce a good horse? Vedette, in my opinion, would have been one of the most successful sires of his time, had his harem and bis prodace received that atteotion which is absolutely necessary to produce race- horses. Flying Duchess whs badly ooiicked fonr times dur- ing the winter preceding the birth of Galopin, and during one of these attacks I quite thought she would have died, but happily she recovered and was no worse: she had been OBed to poor food, and could nut stand much, and I had to be very carefol with her, and had she not fallen into some booI hands as mine. Galopin would never have existed, or if 1 had, instead of living in clover(oi rather on clover) at Blau'.. Dey, would have been now df awing a shrimp net at - Norfolk watering place." 3?8 ^ke ^vm&sx awl jlpxrvlsroaw. Oct. 25 THE FIRST SOUTHER FARM SALE. Great Broodmares and Promising Youne Stock at Auction. Good Boad Horses— Some Well Bred Young Stallions— A «>»od Opportunity to See a California Stock Farm. The Souther Farm began collecting well bred trotting stock in January, 1SS7. The collection has been gradually in- creased since that time, and as nothing has been sold, the farm is at present greatly overstocked; consequently, a large number of well bred trotting stock will be sold at the first annual sale, which will take place on Thursday, Novem- ber 20th, 1S90 at the Souther Farm, near San Leandro. On that day practioally the entire produce of the farm will be sold, the only exceptions among the young stock being two or three fillies reserved for broodmares, and all the foals of 1890, which are too youDg for present sale. Furthermore, on that same day the entire Souther Farm collection cf broodmares will be sold, saving and excepting a few that are not in condition to place on the market, besides three or four kept for road use. Among this collection of broodmares are some of the best and most fashionably bred, and there aie a great many individuals that produce good colts. The pro- duce of almost every mare offered will be shown in Buch a manner that purchasers may judge for themselves of the worth of the mares. I wi h it distinctly understood that every animal oifbred will be sold without reserve, limit, or by bidding, and it will be a long time before those who are looking for brood mares will have a better opportunity of purchasing first class stock at exactly what they will bring when fairly and squarely ottered at public sale. Toe followiog is a partial list of the Btock that will be sold on Nov. 20th: BROOD MARES. Veronica, b m, right hind foot white, foaled 18S4; bred by Silas Skinner. Napa, Cal., by Alcona 730, son of Almont 33 and Queen Mary by Mambrino Chief 11; 1st dam Fon- tana (dam of Silas Skinner 2:19, Flora Belle 2:24) by Almont 33; 2d dam Fanny Williams (dam of Bay Chieftain 2:28J) by Alexander's Abdallah 15; 3d dam by Denmark, eto. Veronica is a full sister to Flora Belle 2:24, for whom Mr. Corbitt paid $3,000, and a three-quarter sister to Silas Skinner 2:19. he being .by a eon of Alcona from Fonlana, whereas Veronica is by Alcona from the Eame mare. Her dam has produced two with fast records and her granddam produced Bay Chieftain 2:2S|, the only trotter ever produced by John F. Payne. Veronica is a grand individual fully sixteen hands high, beautiful head and neck, has grand size.substance and fioisb, and has every mark of a grand brood mare which sh6 will undoubtedly be. Her first colt Wojdside, by Woodnut, Mr. B. C. Holly con- siders one o( the best colts he ever handled, as he drove him quarters close to forty seconds when the colt was but four- teen months old. Her second foal is the bay colt Lord Clive by Sable Wilkes, naw the property of Coombs Bros , Napa. Her third foal, a weanling, is now at the Souther Farm, and will be exhibited on the day of the sale. At the sale of Mrs. Silas Skinner's stock on March 6th, 1S90, Veronica brought $2,500, and her dam Fonlana $4,400, Stinted in 1890 to Figaro (son of Whipple's Hambletonian and Emblem, sister to Voltaire 2:20£, by Tattler.) Rcsallxe, b m hind ankleB white, by Major M:>no, son of Pacific, he by Old Niagara.dam unknown. Rosaline is the dam of Alpheus 2:27 — a gamer horse never lived. The mare is very powerfully built and is a model brood mare; every colt she ever produced has shown great speed. Not stinted in 1S90— the mare was supposed to be in foal until so late in the season that it was decided not to breed her until 1891. Puss, ch m, strip, hind foot white, foaled 1868, bred by D. H. Gleason, San Leandro, Cal., by Skecandoah 926, {Ken- tucky Hunter). Puss is the dam of Haverly (paciDg) 2:25, and Modjeska (pacing) 2:32^, who showed a half mile at Napa in 1:11 J, in the heat she nearly lost through slipping in a wet part of the track. Puss is also the dam of Belle Davis, wbo was the best three-year-old of her year, and made a record of 2:40 some thirteen years ago. Puss has produced two fine look- ing colts by Figaro, and is in foal again to the same horse. Namora, br mate, small strip, foaled May 24, 1879; bred at Fairlawn, Kentucky; by Almont Mambrino 761 (by Al- mont 33 out of Monogram by Mambrino Chief): 1st dam the Lackey mare by Blood's Black Hawk. I bought this mare on the showing made by two of her colts which I purchased at the sale of Mrs. Silas Skinner's stock in March, 1S90. She is well bred, being by a son of AJmont from a Mambrino Chief mare; and Blood's Black Hawk has through his sons and daughters, given the trotting turf some of its very best and purest gaited performers. See Wallace's Year Book, page 428 for Blood's Blackhawk. Rosebud, br m, foaled 1SS4; bred by Monroe Salisbury; by Gibraltar 2:22£ (sire of Homestake 2:14£); 1st dam by A. W. Richmond, sire of Arrow (pacer) 2:18$, and dam of An- teeo 2:16^ and Antevolo 2:19^; 2d dam by Crichton, thor- oughbred (son of imp Glencoe) sire of the dam of Arrow (picer) 2:13$. Homestake won one of the best races of the year at Napa, on Oct. 14th, defeating Hazel Wilkes, Maggie K and Emma Temple in three straight hsatB. Time 2:13, 2;W, and 2:14j, the last two heats the fastest ever trotted in a "contested race in California. tlosebud is by the sire of Homestake oat of a three-quarter sister to Arrow 2:13]. She is a grand individual, and showed a full mile in her work at Napa in 2:40, Ust quarter in 38 seoonds. In the right hands bhe will make a good race mare, and will be of great value as a brood mare. Effie Deans, br m, foaled about 1875; bred by David Stoddart (now) of Oakland: by Whipple's Hambletonian; first dam, Hallidie mare, a mare that carried Mr. A. S. Hallidie from one end of California to the other when he was Pur- veyor-General of this State. Effie Deans is the dam of Gerster, by Washington, a pacer that drove out the winner of a heat in about 2:24 on the Northern Circuit this past summer. EmW Deans weanling foal by Jester D. is one of the best colts of his age at the farm and will be exhibited on the day of the Bale. The mare had great speed and wonder- ful endurance, and she will produce trotters. Daughters of Whipple's Hambletonian are producing very creditably. Robekta, gr m, foaled about 1878; by Patohen Vernon (sire of Allan Roy 2:17* and the dam of Voucher 2:22) son of George M. Patchen Jr." 31 and Lady Vernon); fmt dam by John Nelson (sire of Nerea 2:23* and of the dams of Albert W. 2:20, Valensin 2:23 and others.) This mare ib bred from strong lines. She has great endurance herself and should produoe game and fast colts. Strawberry, roan m, foaled about 1879; by Newland's Hambletonian (son of Speculation and a mare by imp. Joseph, the sire of the dam of Vandertynn 2:21); first dam by Owen Dale, one of the best, if not the best son of Williamson's Belmont. This mare has beautiful finish and was a great road mare; but she ran away one day and was put to breed- ing. Her first foal 1b a yearling by Figaro and is simply a phenomenal pacer. He has been driven but about six weeks and haB been worked very easily, as he is too good a colt to spoil. He will be sold with the other Souther Farm yearl ings. Her weanling foal is also by Figaro, and is the best lot trotter on the farm, and unless all signs fail he will be a horse of wonderfal trotting speed. He will be exhibited on the day of the sale. This mare will produoe extreme speed and will be simply invaluable to whoever purchases her. Fanny Linfoot, bl m, foaled about 1873, by Erwin Davis (son of Skenandoah 926) sire of Ed 2:26, Carrie F 2:27^ and the dam of Florence R. 2:26^. 1st dam by Frank Wise, a Black Hawk horse formerly owned by Mr. Hathaway of San LoreDzo. Fanny Linfoot is the dam of Jim Linfoot by Figaro, who was the fastest two year old on the Souther Farm last spring except El Benton, and he could make it lively for him. He took to growing however, and it was deemed prudent to stop driving him for fear of overtasking his strength. He will be shown in harness and sold at the sale, and in the right hands will make a dead game race horse. La Tosca, b m, foaled 1887, by Ulster Chief, son of Rys- dyk's HambletoniaD. let dam Puss (dam of Haverly (pac- ing) 2:25, and Modjeska (pacing) 2:32$) by Skenandoah 926 La Toaca is a full sister to Modjeska (pacer), 2:32*, and half sister to Haverly (pacer), 2:25. With proper handling she should become fast, and will make a good broodmare. Freda, brown filly, foaled 1S88, by Fred Arnold, son of Nephew; 1st dam Bernarda, a great road mare, every one of whose colts show speed. Freda started in the two-year-old purse atN pa on October 17, 1890, and divided second and third money with Captain Ben Harris' Dawn filly Starlight. Freda was timed in the second heat of thie race a mile in 2:49|. She is a perfect beauty in form and coloring, is a dead game little trotter, and with proper handling will make a grand campaigner. She has shown quarters very close to forty seconds; is very clean gaited and a delightful filly to drive; whoever gets her may consider himself fortunate. If she were by one of my own horses, I woald reserve her for a broodmare. Freaa's dam Bernarda and two of her half sis-terB, four and five years of age, both by Fleetwood (son of Nutwood and Centennial Belle by Woodburn) will also be 6old. Baby, cb m, star, foaled about 1885 by Tom Benton, [son of General Benton (sire of the dam of Sunol, 2:10*), from a mare by George M. Patchen Jr. Tom Benton is the sire of Ned Winslow (pacer), 2;15, and Mary Lou, 2:21]; Lt dam Weasel by McCracken's Golddust (sire of Artist, 2:26^); 2d dam Young St. Lawrence by MeCraoken's David Hill (sire of Black Swan, 2:28$); 3d dam Old St. Lawrence mare, dam of Dave Hill Jr. (Bire of George Treat, 2:25$), by Foster's St. Lawrence, who had a record of about 2.32, and died in a race on the Kalamazoo track. This mare had great natural speed, but was foundered before she came to the Souther Farm. She is a splendid broodmare, and has a remarkably good pedigree which will bear close scrutiny. Her sire, Tom Benton, is a producing son of the great General Benton, and through her dam Bhe has three crosses of first class Black Hawk and St. Lawrence blood, so usef ol in giving purity of action and fine road qual- ities, coupled with extreme speed. With tbe above will be sold many other well bred trotting road and work broodmares. Everything will be sold to the highest bidder, and no by bidding will be tolerated; so this will be an unusual opportunity to acquire good breeding stock. The following two-year- old Btallions will be sold: Jim Linfoot, br c, foaled 1888 by Figaro (ton of Whipple's Hambletonian and Emblem, full sister to Voltaire, 2;20$, by Tattler); 1st dam Fanny Linfoot (see above) by Erwin Davis; 2d dam by Frank Wise (Black Hawk). A very fast colt of fine size and conformation; would make a first class stock horse for the coming season of 1891. The Barber, grey colt, foaled 1888 by Figaro; 1st dam Roberta (see above) by Patchen Vernon; 2d dam by John Nelson. A large, stout built colt of very speedy formation. He cer- tainly ocght to finish his miles in good shape if speed sus- taining blood will tell. Horatio, b c, foaled 1888 by Alcona {Bire of Flora Bell, 2:24, etc.), by Almont; 1st dam Namora (see above) by Al- mont Mambrino 761; 2d dam by Blood's Black Hawk. Horatio is of fine appearance, and shows a first class gait. He is a three-quarter brother to Prince Warwick, a horse that Mr. Hickok campaigned through the past season with- out getting him a record. Prince Warwick went through the Grand Cirouit and seemed as capable of trotting second in 2;15 aB in 2:25. Horatio will earn some man a good living, as he is well bred and very promising. Gran Moro, bl c, foaled 1888; by Le Grande (son of Almont and Jessie Pepper by Mambiino Chief) sire of Grandee, three-year-old record 2:233; first dam Sunny Slope Belle (dam of Don Carlos three-year-old record 2:32) by The Moor [sire of Sultan 2:24 (Bire of nineteen in 2:30 list), and grand- sire of Stamboul 2:11*,, within three quarters of aBecood of the world's stallion record]; second dam, running bred, a mare that won races in and about Los Angeles for Mr, L. J. Rose. I hope to have her pedigree by the date of the sale. Don Carlos, 2:32 (out of the dam of Gran Moro), is used aB a gentleman's roadster in New York, and has been driven a mile over the Fleetwood track in 2:25. The above ib a preliminary and partial list of the stock that will be sold on November 20th at tbe Soother Farm. Besides these there will be sold the yearlings, colts and fillieB, and the two-year olds, colts, geldings and fillies. A complete catalogue will be issued about the 5th of November, and will be mailed to all applying to Killip & Co., 22 Mont- gomery street, San Francisco, or to the Souther Farm, San Leandro, Cal. Fall instructions for reaching San Leandro, where convey- ances will take purchasers to the farm, will be duly adver- tised. It is a pleasant drive from San Francisco to the farm by way of the Creek ferry boat to Oakland, and tbe place is but eight miles from Oakland, so that all living in or about tbat city oan drive to the farm easily, where careful men will look after all horses driven there. Take the courjty road between Oakland and San Leandro, and turn off at the sign board. Tbe stock will be exhibited in harness and at tbe halter a few days before the sale; due notice will be given of the exact date. On tbe dny oi the sale a good lunch will be provided for all attending. An invitation is extended to all interested in fine stock to come and see the horses and the appointments of the farm which are very complete. The stallions El Benton, Glen Fortune, Figaro and Jester D. will remain at the farm and the busiuess of educating, training and boarding horses will be carried on in the most careful manner. . None of tbe foals of 1890 will be sold, a? it is intended to sell them when they are yearlings in the Bpriug of 1891. Gilbert Tompkins, Souther Farm, San Leandro, Cal. Cleveland Bays. Tlie Handsome Stable Shown By Dr. Fratlier and Mr. Wilkinson at State and Fresno Fairs. Among the many noted horses shown at the State Fair and the Fresno County Fairs this year, no stable attracted supe- rior interest and attention than that of Dr. Prather and Mr. Wilkinson, which was comprised of the justly celebrated Cleveland Bays. Of the many individual horses shown, none caught the eye of the public, and especially that of the horse fancier more than the superb and well nigh ideally formed horse Lord Harington. This Bpleudid animal is owned by Dr. Prather, and is a beauty, rarely equalled and never excelled. His coat is of that beautiful blood bay color fo muoh admired and sought after. He stands 1-ii bands high and weighs 1,400 pounds. His action is smooth and easy, remarkable for a horse of his size and weight. In addition to the splen- did appearance of this beautiful animal is the remarkable feature of his kind disposition. This magnificent animal took the first prize at the State Fair as a three year old, and this year he repeated the same winning as a four year old, adding the first premium at the Fresno County Fair and re- ceived many compliments for his beauty of structure, coat and carriage, in fact was the center of attraction in his class. The book of this solendid stallion for 1891 is being rapidly tilled. Another beautiful animal in this stable was tbe handsome three year old horse "Loyalty," owned by Mr. William Wil- kinson. He is a dark bay, weighing 1,360 pounds, and is very promising in every way. He has to his credit the winnings of first priza in his class at Sacramento and also at FreBno. The third horse shown was a fitting companion for the pre- ceding ones mentioned, being Scampton Swell, owned by Capt. Norris, of Fowler. This animal is a very rangy horse weighing 1250 pounds end is of a dark bay color. He has to his credit the second premium taken at the State fair. It is not too much to say that one of the finest and most handsome animals ever shown, was tbe beautiful Cleveland Bay mare "Rose Leaf ' owned by Dr. Prather. This superb creatnre tips the scale at 1,500 pounds and stands nearly 16 hands high. She carried off the honors at the State Fair winning the first prize as mare and foal, which latter was shown at her side. She also took the first prize at the Fresno Fair as well a3 the second prize in the sweep stakes exhibit. She is the dam of a fine suckling named Hunter, sired by Tertius, winner of first prize at Texas and Colorado State fairs and is now owned in Dallas. Texas. Hnnter is a very promising colt, rangy and finely shaped and if he develops as now indicated he will make a magnifi- cent animal. He has to his credit the winning of first prize at the County Fair. Another beautiful mure waB exhibited in the three-year-old "Billington Lassie,' 'Dr. Prather owner. She stands 16£ bauds high and weighs 1,260 pounds. This yonrg mare is rangy and stylish, shows splendid action, and will unquestionably prove to be an excellent brood mare. She took first premium at the Sta'e and County Fair. In the stable was also found the fine four-year-old mares Queenie and Phantom. Both are blood bays, handsome in appearance and structure, and took the first and second pre? miums at the State Fair. All of these animals are registered of the Harris importa- tion. Hundreds of people were drawn to this stable of horses to feast their eyes upon the splendid picture which they pre- sented. They were universally commended and admired as the finest stable of horses on exhibition. It is universally conceeded by horsemen that the Cleveland Bays are the com- ing horses for general purposes. Tne day of half breeds is past. They have been thorough- ly tested and proven to be a source of expense without the satisfactory results obtained by the pure bloods. The pnblic demands a horse large enough, and with action sufficient for all demands for speed, as well as a neatness of structure, which will make a pleasing presentation for all classes of work and for driving purposes. For this class of work, what horse can measure up with the Cleveland Bays? We venture to assert there are none. Mr. Prather also had on exhibition the Norman horse Illiers, but he, like his class, is to well known to need an extol&tion here, but cut was given in the Beeedkr and Sportsman. Illiers shows many fine colts here. About Starting- The Turf Field aud Farm has this to say editorially about starting: "It has been suggested in some of the public prints that the starter at trotting raceB should ocenpy a stand ou the track opposite the stand assigned to the regularlv appointed judges. This plan was ttied at the breeders meeting at Chi- cago in August aud it did not give the highest satisfaction. Under the present ruleB the starter bin no authority except that delegated to him by the judges. To place him where the judges cannot communicate with him and have very lit- tle control over him, is to stretch authority and magnify his importance- The judges have power to assess fines and im- pose other penalties for disobedience in scoring, and a com- plete surrender of this power to a rat'.le-headed starter wad never contemplated by the rules. The digDity of the stand canuot be preserved uules9 the starter is made the servant instead of the master of the judges First change the law before you give him a seperate stand. Usually he is a man of crotchets aud prejudices and will bear watching. The judgeB' stand should be on th« outor circle of tbe track. This gives a better command of the horses and makes it easier to convey official information to the occupants. of the grand stand. Steps should ba built so that one judge would Btand on the fioisb Hue directly above the other judge, and tbe t-tarter cnuld stand oil the lowest step while trying to get the horses off evenly, and retire to the rear as soou as the word was given. Io such a position he would be under the immediate eyes of his superiors and. all of bis acts would be subject to instant approval or revision. 1890 %ht fprjejete and J»:pxrrlsmau. 379 THE FARM. Spaying for Milk Production. From experiments conducted under the supervision of Prof. A. E Menke, director of the agricultural experiment station of the Arkansas Industrial University, as to the in- fluence of spaying on milk production, we find the following conclusions: The figures show that the cows suffer little from the im- mediate effects of spaying — that is, they stand the operation well, the shrinkage of the milk, which may be taken as a measure of their physiological disturbance, beiDg limited praotically to the first two or three days following the opera- tion. As for the quantity, even allowing for the better pasturage during the last month, the Bhowing is good. There is cer- tainly no falliDg off in the amount such as might be expected to occur in the Boncastrated cow nine months after calving. But neither is there any very noticeable increase. The quality of the milk as seen from the table of chemical analysis does not, at this date — that is, four months after spaying, differ to any extent from what it was before. If spaying increases the proportions ot cream and uaseine it does not do so within at least four months after ooerating. It is proposed to keep the cows and again analyze the milk at the end of a year or so. The question as to whether or not it is profitable to spray milch cows we cannot answer, It is only to certain classes of animals of wide occurrence, however, that the operation is at all applicable, and in these, although th? prospect seems favorable, farther observation is necessary before any gen- eral recommendation in its favor can be made. The analyses were made, using Adam's method supple- mented by Short's. The latter was found easily manipulated and accurate. Both cows show an increase in quantity and in total fats. This may be partly due to the grass obtained after Bpaying. Cow Xo. 2 shows a light decrease in per cent, both of total solids and fats, but so slight as to be hardly attributable to spaying. It would be equally difficult to attribute the in- creased percentage of both solids and fats in cow No. 1 to that operation. Ab far as this experiment goes it shows spaying to have no effect on the quality of the milk. Proposed Dutiea on Farm Products. The following proposed daties on farm produce, as pro- vided for in the new tariff bill, are given in the Dairy Circu- lar of D. W. Lewis & Co., Mew York, together with the old or now existing rates of duty in parentheses: Butter is to pay 6 cents per pound duty; the old tariff is (4) cents per pound. E^gs (free) 5 cents per dozen. Milk 5 cents per gallon, formerly (10 per cent.) Condensed milk 3 cents per pound, including weight of package, formerly (20 per cent.) Live poultry 3 cents per pound, (20 per cent.) Dressed poultry 5 cents per pound (25 per cent.) Beans 40 cents per bushel of 60 pounds (10 per cent.) Hay S4 per ton ($2 ) Potatoes 25 cents (15) per bushel of 60 pounds. Hops 15 (8) cents pet pound. Cider 5 cents per gallon (20 per cent ) Cabbages, 3 cents each (10 per cent.) We have compared the foregoing figures with the schedules of the bill as amended in the Senate, and find them correct.

The last session of the New York Dairyman 'i Association adopted the following rules: To make dairying a success certain things aud conditions are necessary, aud the better these things and conditions are understood and carried out in practice the more desirable and the more perfect will be the product. The following are some of the points necessary to be observed. , 1. Milk from healthy cows only should be used. 2. Avoid excitement of the cows produced by chasing with dogs or in any other manner. Harsh treatment lessens the quantity and injures the quality of milk. 3. Cows should have an abundance of suitable food and pure water, and salt kept where they can have ready access to it every day. , 4. Cows should be kept from all foul odorB and not be i illowed to eat or drink anything that will give taint to the milk. 5. Milking should be done at regular hours, with clean aands, clean udders and clean stabUs, and the milk kept iway from any contaminating odors. 6. Milk should be strained immediately after being drawn, Hid not be disturbed until creamed. 7. Milk pails and other vessels for keeping milk and ' )ream should be thoroughly cleansed — first, well washed and maided with boiling water, and then aired to keep them per- 'ectly Bweet, Salting- Butter. Tlie Amu u hi— Shall It be lu lirii.t-.- F. C. Curtis, the dairy authority, opposes the idea taught by some that butter should be twice salted, aB butter itself does not absoib salt. He says: "Our scientific instructors telle us that it is allowable or right to leave in the butter 12 per cent, of water when the butter ia completed. This we will accept as correct. What then remains to do is to salt that 12 percent, of water suffici- ently to season the butter, which is about as salt ;:3 we can make it without having undissolved salt in the butter. Let us suppose we have, say, In lLs. of butter, which has been churned to granules about the size of wheat grains, washed and drained without the use of salt. We can add the salt (15 oz ) in the churn. A few revolutions will mix the salt eveDly through the butter, when it should remain at rest about 6ve minutes for the salt to dissolve. Then revolve the churn until the butter is worked into a mass or in solid lumps. It will be found tbat most ol the superfluous brine has worked out. At one time we will find this brine to meas- ure one quart, at another time three or four quarts, although we suppose we have followed the same process. Many insist on the ounce-to-the pound, not knowing that half that quan- tity is plenty to remain in the butter. It matters not how much salt is put in the butter. The question is, how ruach salt remains in it, for in this process of salting more than half of the salt comes out in the superfluous brine. The best way is. therefore, to salt the butter in the churn, and there is little danger of getting in too much, provided no more is need than will dissolve. The butter may be placed in the tub directly from the churn without other working than solid packing with the common butter ladle. These views are not offered for creameries who sift on the salt when the butter is comparatively dry, but to those who have so much contra- dictory advice offered that the subject becomes mystified. Foot Rot in Sheep Was discussed, says Colman's Rural World at a recent meet- ing of the council of the Boyal Agricultural Society, England, Although not mortal, the disease is provokingly widespread, caus9S serious loss of condition, and entails much labor and expense in holding it in check, and still more in effectually curing it. Flock masters, not only in this country but in the Colonies, are believed to be generally of the opinion that the complaint is contagious; although the few veterinarians who have studied it are understood to consider it non-contagious. The fact seems to be tbat of the several forms and stages of tbe disease, or rather of the several diseases grouped under the title of foot rot, a few are non-contageons, but the ma- jority are contagious. Bruising and laceration of the horn of the crust and sole, and consequent lameness, occurring in travelled sheep, and c. ining under the category of foot rot, in the first instance, is devoid of contagious characters. The hoof is sound and strong when exposed to the natural tear and wear which it has on the upland pastures, which are the native habitat of sheep, but when such docks are placed up- on soft lowland grazings the horn grows more rapidly, is of a more soft and spongy texture, little travel being requisite in pursuit of food, it is not duly worn down, it accordingly cracks and splits, dirt insinuates, inflammation of subjacent sensitive parts supervenes leading to acrid discharges which are liable to induce irritation and inflammation when brought into contact with the overgrown, soft, cracked hooves common amongst such flocks. The form of the foot rot commencing with irritation and discharge in the interdig- ital space is, we believe, equally contagious. Fortonately, the infectiveness of the several foot rot discharges is not very great, provided the feet of the flock be kept in a fairly sound state by removing, as required, all redundancy of horn at in- tervals, say of Bix or eight weeks, and dressing any abra- sions with an antiseptic. At the meeting of the Royal Agri- cultural Society, Mr. Rawlance, who has under his care some 10,000 sheep, stated tbat he succeeded in keeping their feet sound by paring when required, and running them once or twice a week through a shallow tank containing an antisep- tic mixture. Many flockmasters, both in this country and in the Colonies, by such preventive treatment keep their sheep free from foot rot. Solution of copper sulphate in water, or of arsenic in diluted alkaline carbonate solutions are the foot bathe generally used. Such measures might, with advantage, be more generally adopted. How to Fatten Hoes. The writer well remembers how, in his early days the cus- tom prevaiUd among the farmers of fattening a few hogs for home use upon the refuse, squashes, pumpkins, small pota- toes, and even a few apples, boiled up together in a big ket- tle and poured boiling hot into a big feeding box, mix- ing in enough commeal to make a thick pudding when cold, so thick as to be fed with a shovel. In those days we never heard of sach a thing as bog cholera, or any other dis- ease among the hogs; they were as healthy as the cattle and sheep, and pork was regarded as a wholesome and excellent article of food. The present prevalence of hog cholera soems to be closely connected in some way with the herding of Bwine in large numbers where their pens become filthy in consequence of being crowded together for convenience in feeding upon corn or swill. It is a well established fact that feeding corn alone is not the best way to make good pork; even in "finishing off" just before killing it is belter to mix some wheat bran and skim milk with tbe ratiou. Corn alone will make hard pork and plenty of lard, but the hogs fed thus will be more subject to disease, and the poik will not have the desirable mixture of a Btreak of fat with a streak of lean, which most people relish far more than solid tat. Wbere good clover pasture can be had there Is nothing so good for breeding swine and young stock to grow upon; and probably clover hay or clover ensilage where it iB cheap and abundant, would prove the best of feed for store hogs in win- ter; we have heard of cases where diseased hogs that were being fed on corn recovered quickly when turned into a clo- ver pasture. And it is quite likely that hogs when fattening would be more healthy, and that the pork would be better if fed clover along with the corn. It is the ouBtom of most ewine feeders near our large cities to feed mostly on city swill: When this i3 fed out qiuckly, before it has time to sour much, it is an excellent article of food for breeding bows and young stock; but hogs fattened upon it make rather soft pork unless they have*conBiderable corn during the last few weeks of their life. Sows when suckling their pigs Bhonld have some skim milk and shorts along with their swill, and we know of one large swill feeder near Boston who ia in the habit of finish- ing off his fat hoga for about two months upon a diet of skim milk, shorts and corn meal. Such hogs make good pork tbat no one need be afraid to eat The common prejudice against pork as an article of food has its foundation in the filthy sorroundiDgs in which many hogs are kept. The hog cuu endure more b'lth than most animals, and still live, bnt he will chose cle-m, dry quarters every time if you give him a chance, he will wallow in mire when the weather is hot with seeming satisfaction, but try him with a pond of clean water and see if he don't like it as well. — Massachusetts Plowman. A Goat Dairy. It is surely somewhat noteworthy that the United States Government propose, this year for the first time, to include in its agricultural returns a census of the goats. In the of- ficial report— Xo. 74— it is stated that "While our farmers 'despise the day of small things' and decline to utilize goats for milk or cheese dairying, they may find it profitable to sap* ply meat, fleece or pelt. The imports of these, lust year, were to the amount of §7 66S 472." This is a big bill; and an American at Rome writes; "I desire to draw attention to the value of the goat of Malta, which I think would do much good in the mountain region of the Carolines, Tennessee and Georgia. The Maltese goat is hornless, giving sis to eight quarts a day. We (the London Live Stock Journal) venture to think the Hon. Bufus Kellogg (the American in question) was deceived as to the quantity of milk yielded by a Maltese goat. We do not, however, question this inference by tbe official statisticians of the U. S A. Government: "The milk of the dairy strains would be valuable and healthful food for infante; and the goats mi^ht be kept in villages and suburbs of towns by thousands of families, who, because of the ex- pense and want of accommodation, cannot keep a cow." As it seems to us, the chief obstacles in extending goat keeping in England lie in the difficulty of getting English folks to combine. On the Continent a commou goat herd daily calls for, and leads out to feed, the gcuts of a whole village. Now, if any one in England could arrange this, let customers have goats, at so much per week, when iu milk, taking charge when dry, he might get together a business. Russian Wool Protection. The Kussie Commerciale says that Russia owns nearly 50,000,00 ordinary sheep and 15.000.000 Merinos. Euro- pean Russia has 40,( 00.000, of which 38.000,000 are ordinary sheep and 2.000.000 Merinos. The Caucasus has 12,000 000, of which 10.000.000 are ordinary sheep and 2,000,000 are Merinos. Sheep are met with in nearly every province of Russia, with this difference, that they are far more numerous in the southern provinces than in those of the north. Owing to the immense stretches of pasture land, and to tbe temperate climate of the centre of Russia — which allows of flock being kept in the fields nearly the whole of the year — the rearing of rine-wooled sheep predominates, particularly in the king- dom of Poland. There was a time — about 1860 — when the rearing of fine-wooled sheep was in a high state of develop- ment, cving to the protectionist measures adop'ed by the government, but since tbat period it has fallen off consider- ably. The construction of new railways has given a fresh impetus to land cultivation in the centre °f Russia, the rents of land increased while the prices of wool simultaneously de- creasedunder the influence of the competition of Australia, America and the Cape of Good Hope. DuriDg the last few years the rearing of hne-wcoled sheep ha3 shown a tendency to in- crease in the southern part of the Caucasus, which is rioh in pasturage. The annual prodoction of wool iu Rns6i amounts to about 160,700 tons, which gives approxmately 6 lbs. of wool for each sheep. Of this amount over 20,000 tons are exported, the greater part of which comes to this country; while, on the other hand, Russia imports more than 10.000 tons of wool, the value of the imports being more than that of the large quantity of exports. Raising: Pullets for Eggs. If you want good laving hens in winter, writes a corre- spondent of the New York World, keep an eye on your early hatched chickens, and select the best developed and healthy looking pullets for furnishing yon with eggs next winter. For several weeks after hatching, the young chicks should be fed a little five or six times a day. After they are half grown three or four times a day — not to fatten them, but to make tbem grow. I would give but very Utile grain, and that should be mostly wheat, oats or rye, some buckwheat and very rarely a little cracked corn. Two ration- out of every three should be soft food made of wheat bran, shorts, masbed potatoes, and a little corn meal, all well stirred up together. If mixed up with milk instead of water, it will be greatly im- proved. Give the scraps from the table through the day alone with their other rations. See to it that they have green food of some description and plenty of fresh water. Green clover and cabbage leaves will be excellent; also a little bone meal in their mash, and gravel should always be within tueir reach. By forcing the best pullets in this way, yon will be quite sure to set them to laying in tbe fall, which, if prop- erly housed and fed, they will continue through the winter, when, if left to shift for themselves and make a slow and scanty growth until cold weather, they are not likely to lay at all until the next spring. Dentition of Sheep. A Scotch sheep herder says the lamb wben abont a month old possesses eight temporary incisor teeth — usually termed the "milk teeth." The after dentition is considerably affect- ed by the'.nature of the feeding. When the sheep are on poor keep the center pair of incisors are "shed" at about one year old, and are replaced by two large and permanent teeth. At about two years old a second pair of large teeth are acquired, at three years old a third pair; and at four years a fourth pair; the animal 1b then termed "full-monthed." When the sheep are liberally fed the first pair ol perma- nent teeth are acquired at about ten months old; tbe second at eighteen; tbe third at twenty seven; and the fourth at about three years. There are, however, exceptions to every rule, and the teeth cannot always be relied on in correctly determining- the age. — Western Agriculturist.

There are many difficulties to overcome before the base ball war can be said to be over, says the Philadelphia Record. The conference of the joint committees of the National League, Players' League and American Association was a big 8tep°in the right direction, but the details of the compromise deal have not yet been even mentioned. The division of territory, which is one of the most important features, is not fixed. It is proposed to amalgamate the National League and PlayerB' League clubs now located at New York, Brook- lyn, Pittsburg and Cleveland, making one strong club in the place of two weak ones in each of those cities; take in four American Association clubs and then make up two new orga - uizationB. The point of difference on which the deal hangB at present is the names by which these organizations are to be known. The Players' League people have consented to drop the name "Players' League" on condition that the name "National League" is also dropped. TbiB proposition was at first scooted at by the League Committee, but when it was found that it was the only basis on which the Players' League people would talk compromise, A. G. Spalding, the League spokesman, said that while he considered the name "National League" a valuable trademark, having been io ex- istance fifteen years, he would consider it bad policy to allow Buch a secondary consideration as a name stand in the way of a settlement of the differences The circuit" *s at present outlined would be as follows: National League (perhaps to be known as Union League) —Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Chicago.

Instead of home runs I pound holes in tbe air "With my willow, my willow, oh. willow.

The race baa practically simmered down to two clubs for 6rst place, and they are the S*nta Eosas nnd Vallejos. Grace's men have much in their favor, but the Marines have been playing a very stiff game of late, and will fight fiercely for the coveted rag. Third place lies between the Will & Fincks and Reports, with the chances in favor of the Young Giants, who. since strengthening, have done some telling work. The Burlingtons can't hope for better than fourth, bot had they been in the race from the start, and not handicapped with the overwhelming load of defeat* they had to assume for the team whose place in the league they took, it is safe to say that the Kailroaders would have been "in the swim" all along. The Aliens can't better themselves, and will have to "carry the target." -fl W *$ ra <: CO O O *d B ~ h3 •3 o 2_ 5T u> B B o s Clubs. fp > r- 03 o SJ CO hrJ a m P a w P* BJ Will& Fincks .. 4 2 2 3 2 13 27 .4S1 E.

T. ALLENS. Sunday, Oct. 19th 1S90, at Santa Rosa. The leaders and tail enders played a poor game last Sun- day, twenty errois being made by both teams, twelve of which go to the Sonoma boys. Both pitchers, Callen and McDonald were hit hard, but the former was more steady than his speedy opponent. The Santa Rosas took a big lead in the beginning of the game, a ad thought they had a walk over, but the Sports made a hard fight toward the close, mak- ing a brace of runs in each the fifth, seventh, eighth and ninth innings. Notwithstanding the numerous errors, there were some tine plays accomplished, the Santa Rosas having no lesB than four tine double ups. Euckley, Cooney and Billings played ereat ball for the Aliens. In the hitting, Beilly, Gimmell, McCarthy, Geishaker and Broderick led. Hulen had three splendid sacrifices. A phenomenal one hard catch by Philpot was one of the features.

The new Railroaders added victory to their already credit- able list, by defeating the Repor'.s Sunday. They hit Monet pretty freely, but expensive errors of Merve and John Thompson in the third and fonrtb innings gave them a "cinch" on the game. Rohan pitched another capital game, allowing but four hits, besides being very sttady. He had a Btrong team back of him that tendered fine support. The infield work of Strand, Fitzgerald, Traynor and Kelly was particularly clever. Besides catcher Green, Sharp and Dun- phy were the only players in the Reports to put up any kind of a game. At the bat, the Burlington's battery, Rohan and WildB, did the most effective work., A special feature was the nomber of sacrifices made in the game, four being cred- ited to each side.

The Vallejos pushed themselves up another peg in the amateur race by winning a hard game from the Young Gian*s, Sunday. Leveque was in the box for the Fincks for the first three innings and was hit out pretty hard. The Marines made their five runs of the game in these innings. Sullivan was then substituted and did not allow a single run to be made off him. Levy caught him in Bplendid shape. In the fourth the Fincks got one man across the plate and two more runs in the seventh, bnt this was the utmost they could do. Sprague pitched a fine, steady and most effective game and received good support. McGaire excelled in ihe hitting, which was generally light. Russell's umpir- ing was on many occasions dissatisfactory, both teams com- plaining. The score: Wilt, k Fincks. An b br pd ro Grotb, lb & rf..6 0 0 0 3 Tllleon, e a FRESNO vs STOCK ION MYSTICS.

Howell and Stanley were iu the points for the Fres- nos and did most effective battery work. But three hits were Becured off the little t wirier, and he retired eleven men on strikes. Pokey Chase pitched great ball for the Mystics, being hit Balely but seven times, and using his change of pace and curves so effectively that the greater part of the balls were hit to the infielders, as twenty-two put outs for first baseman Davis, and ten assists for himself will attest. Sckurer caught bim fairly well, but although he threw five men out on bases.no less than twelve of the Fresnos stole bases successfully off him. The score was two to two at the end of the fifth inning, and remained that way till the first of the tenth, when McMahon's safety, his steal, Pier's sacrifice and Cullen's Biugle to center scored the winning run. The score: W. Walters. 2b.. 3 J. Hall, If 4 Sckarer, c 3 Hlckinboth'm,3b4 Chase, p 3 McBride, B B ...3 H. Walters, cf..3 Divis, 1 b 4 O'Rourke, r f..3 Mxsncs.

Al Scooney is said to have been a big find for the Santa Bosas. Ward, late sbortBtop of the Sacramentos, is again with the Fresnos. Billy Kennedy will make his reappearance with the Aliens to-morrow.

Howell and Stanley are doing famous battery work for the Fresnos. Buck Hughes is more than playing second base "out of sight" for the Marines. Geisbaker's three bagger at Santa Rosa was a corker and loosened a board in the fence. The grand stand at the Fresno grounds is being enlarged and a new back stop is also being erected. Manager La Koche has had poor success with the Reports since he assumed the reins of management. The amateurs will await the news of the result of the Vallejo-Saota Bosa game with bated breaths. Vio Monet enjoys the distinction of being the quietest man on the California diamond. Vic says nothing but "sawn wood." The Fresno manager complains that his team, like many others, has a few players afflicted with the "swelled head" malady, Josh Reilly came to the front with four base steals last Sunday. By the way Reilly's score presents quite a combin- ation of fours. Manager Austin, of the Fresnos, speaks very highly of the character of the Mystics of Stocktons, as gentlemen, both on and off the diamond. In last Sunday's game at Santa Rosa Reilly and Philpot both had twelve chances and each made four put oats, four assists and four errors. Short stop Brittan is laid up and will be urjable to play for a couple of weeks. He injured his knee cap in stealing second base last Sunday. Leveque says that Salem has a player named Booth, who in appearance and style of playing, is a "dead ringer" for Bill Smalley, the Haywards boy. Sullivan, witb Levy behind the bat, and Sullivan with any other catcher, is a much different pitcher. Dave gets excel* lent work of this young twirler. Manager Keller has closed negotiations with the Fresno management whereby his team will play at that place three games on Nov. 27th, 29th and 30th. John Thompson was offered the chance to catch for the Stocktons Sunday, but John set his price too high. Wilde was paid just half of what Thompson wanted. Chase and Davis, of the Mystics of Stockton, had the game almost to themselves last Sunday. Chase had eleven chances in his pitcher's position, and Davis on first base had twenty-two put outs and one error. It is reported that Milt Whitehead is to play third base for the Vallejos. This is hardly probable as Milt is not in condition to play third, bis arm being weak and besides he would not give up his duck hunting to practice and play with an amateur team. Joe Leveque did Dot show up to his best advantage in last Sunday's game against the Vallejos. Joe had been receiving the congtatulaiions of his many frieods all through the week, and waB not in condition to do himself jastice. The^ new Railroaders have more than fulfilled Manager Smith's prophecy, that if admitted to the Lesgue they would do some tall playing. In the past years Oakland was always represented in the amateur league, and it was a big mistake not to have a team from there in the early part of this season. Had the Star team, which now bears the name ot the Burling- tons, started in with the rest of them we might have the pen- nant landed nearer home than it will be.

EDITED FY ABPtflPPOa, BUMMAEY. The first invitation field day of the Olympic Club will be held this afternoon, and judging from the entry list the sport will be well worth seeing. We publish the fall list of entiies with the handicaps. The boxers are getting ready for the coming championship trials and in the bantam and light weight classed some good sparring and hard hitting will be witnessed. There is a new boom in cricketing and foot ball, and athleiics in general will receive ninch attention daring the winter. THE WHEELMEN. The prizes awarded by the Bay City Wheelmen for the late road race have all been distribntbd, and the winners are much pleased with them. Owing to a sprained ankle, Jessie Ives, of the Alameda Bi- cycle Club, was unable to tafc« part in the inn of his clnb to Bolenas on Sunday last. This afternoon at the new grounds of the Olympic Club, 0. T. Morgan will essay to lower the Pacific Coast record for one mile safety riding. T. H. Harris will try to beat the five- mile record. Judging from the splendid time which both men have been making in practice trials, it is safe to predict that they will be more than successful in their efforts. The Alameda Bicycle Club has changed the date of its ball to November 12 :b. The committee who has charge of the arrangements will spare no paina to make the affair a big success. All wheelmen are invited to attend. Cards of in- vitation can be obtained from any of the members. The ball will be held in Harmony Hall, Paru street, Alameda. L*8t Sunday, Harry "Williams, Harry Potter, Frank Howell, F. Boyle, Wil Hubbard, C. M. Culver. W. Oiborn and W. Fisk rode up to Nevato, a distance of thirteen miles. A good many of the Alameda boys will take part in the run of the L. A. W., on November 1st. Last Sunday morning about twenty members of the Bay City Wheelmen started from the corner of 21st aud Mission streets on a ran to Redwood City. The wheelmen started at 8:30 o'clock and an easy pace was kept up all the way. The roads between San Francisco and Sin Bruno are slightly rough, but from San Bruno on they are nearly perfect. Most of the boys complained of the easy na'ure of the ran and visbed that the pace was harder. Captain Plammer branched off the main road when about one and a half miles from San Mateo, and took the boys over an unusual but remarkably good road to Redwood City. A splendid dinner specially served for the B. C. W. was partaken of at the new hotel. After dinner and an inspection of the new building, the start was made for home, some taking the train at San Mateo while others preferred making the round trip on their wheels. This was the first run under the new regime and it was pronounced a genuine success by all hands. C. N. Langton, the financial Secretary of the Bay City Wheelmen, has returned from the southern part of the State completely recovered from the seven surgical operations which he underwent some time ago. He attended the club run on Sunday last much to the surprise of his club mates. The roll book which was open for the members of the B. C. W. Association, closed on the 15th, and was signed by all but two or three of the old members. The Bay City toys are all on the qui vive, and a new life appears to have been infused into the club since the corpora- tion government went into effect. The membership of the California Division League of American Wheelmen is increasing rapidly. THE GAME OF CRICKET. The Thistle and Alameda clubs played a match game at the West End grounds on Sunday last. The latter club won the match easily. This was the initial appearance of the Thistle Club in the field, and it would be hardly fair to comment on the playing of its representatives. The Thistle cricketers will begin practice at Central Park right away, and in a month or ao the Alameda Clab will not have such an easy thing of it. The Alpine Club team will also begin practice at Centra^ Park a week from to-morrow, and it is intended that a picked eleven made up of Alpine and Thistle men, will be matched againBt the best eleven Alameda can produce. The members of the Pacific Club should devote more time to practice if they intend making their marks this season. UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS, i Several of the students are anxious to organize a boat club The idea is a capital one, and there is no reason why it Bhould not be carried out. The athletic branch of any uni- versity is never complete without an addition of a boat club. E C. Van Dyke '93, bad his nose severely fractured in a foot ball game recently. He will not be able to support his team any more. A writer in the "Occident" suggests that any member of the championship team that doeB not train faithfully previ- ous to the next champion-hip meeting, should be removed from the team entirely. We think this is a very bad way to encourage the athletes. A HINT TO PLAGIARISTS. The different departments of the Breedkh and Sports m*k are presided over by able and competent editors, who are paid good salaries for their services. It has always been the aim of this paper to present to its readers original and new- sy matter, and its reporters have been tiaioed to seek oir their own notes. There are several papers in thiB city that profess to publish "Sporting Columns, " but with the excep- tion of two or three, not one of them employ a regular sport- ing writer. The general editors of these journals never find ony trouble in rnnning their so-called sporting departments simply because tbey steal the news from the columns of other papers that employ regular sporting editors. To Bay that this is a mean practice would be but patting it mildly and it certainly must be very annoying to persons who are interested in sporting matters to be served with the same trick every week. The Daily Alta California is the mo3t striking example we can put before our readers, and we do hope that if it cannot afford to pay a regular sporting editor, it will refrain from stealing the notes which our writers are paid for gathering. lu last M -nday's Alta tweuty-two items appeared under the heading of "Toe World of Sport;" eleven of these items were plagiarised from the preceding Saturday's Breeder and Sportsman. We will give another example, and that is the copying of a note referring to Jervis the walker, which appeared in our last issue, by the sport- ing editor of a morning paper. The unlucky scribe was un- fortunate enough to cloak the piece with variations of his own, and the result was that the sporting editor of the even- ing jjurnal against whom his sarcasm was hurled took it in- to his head to retaliate, and now a wordy war is going on be- tween the two. We do hope that the battle will not be as long or fierce as that of the struggle between Ford of the Turf, Field and Farm, aud Curtis of the New York Spirit of the Times. There is an excuse for a man copying an occa- sional note, but when everylkiny of any importance is copied then the line should be drawn. If such papers as the Alta (anoot afford to employ a regular Bporting editor, then for common decency's sake it would be more jadicious to omit the "Sporting Department" entirely. OLYMPIC CLUB GAMES. This afternoon at 2 o'clock the first invitation out door athletic meeting of the Olympic Athletic Club will begin. Thf best men from the Alpine and Olympic Clubs have en- tered, and all the running raceB will be very cloBely contest- ed. G. W. Jordan framed the handicaps and on the whole they are very fair. The mile walk was left out because Coffin was out of trim, and Cooke is in the country. The pole vault has also been taken from the programme on account of the want of entries. There will be boxing and wrestling on the turf, and George D. Baird, the ex-champion walker of America, will walk half a mile against the coast record. Messrs. Morgan and Harris will try to eclipse the safety re- cords for one and five miles respectively. The following is a full list of the entries: Seventy-five yards race, handicap— C A Bailey, GCC, 3 yardB; A S Henderson, O A C, U yards* C E Schlingheyde, O A C, ra yards; P M Waod.

AT THE OARS. The Dolphin Boating Club will give a social in Saratoga Hall this evening in celebration of their 15th anniversary. The Alameda Boating Club offers medals for match races between its members almost every Sanday. The club is now in a very prosperous condition and there is some talk of im- proving the boat house. The weather on Sanday was fine and the usual number of oarsmen were noticed on the bay. The medals won at the Fourth of July regatta are very neat and costly. The professional single acallers^are practicing daily for the great Thanksgiving Day match. The Dolphin has more money in its treasury than any of the other clabs. NOTES BY OUR RAMBLER. I was out at Harbor View a couple of days ago and the athletic portion of the park looks very gloomy indeed. The house erected by the Alpine Club is still standing and the track, which, by the way, is not a bad one of its kind, is all covered over with weeds. lam inclined to think that there will be lots of blood drawn at the coming boxing tournaments. At any rate the apart will be pure and the club members will get the worth of their money, I ho^e the members will turn out in fall force, for square amateur sport is more deserving of recog- nition than professional fakes. I was present at the Olympic Club rooms on Wednesday evening and it pleased me much to see such genuine interest taken in in door sports. The many ladies who were present Beemed to be highly impressed with the exhibitions and I think cards of admisBion will soon have to be issued on "Profe:sors' Nights" in order to keep out the crowd . Rambler. RUNNERS. WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. Sprinter R D Barbon took unto himself a wife on Wednes- day evening. Mr. B. says he will appear in the cinder path again next season. R. C Mays, a brother of the University champion of the same name, haB joined the Alpine Clnb. He is a very prom- ising sprinter and will bring credit on his club. Professor "Mike" Gery and bis "student" •'Young" Mc Laughlin are both stranded up North. Morrissey, who ac- companied the two on their "boxing" tour has left their company minus his money, and the last heard of Gery and McLaughlin was that they ware picking hops with a crowd of Chinamen. If Mr. Gery hud taken our advice several months ago he would now be occupying a good position in San Francisco. The boxing tournament for the amateur championship of the Pacibc Coast will commence at the Olympio Club rooms on the evening of November 6. Massey, the Australian amateur sprinter, has applied for admission to the Alpine Club. A Beries of handicap races took place at the Olympic Club grounds last Sunday in the presence of a large audience. Capt. Walter A. Scott acted as starter and George W. Jordan fixed the starts. During the day several outside athletes who have entered for to-day's games practiced on the track. The first event, a quarter of a mile, handicap, hurdle race was won by J A Christie who had 40 yards start in 5J sees. S V Casady came in second. The first prize was a gentle- man's dressing case; second, a pair of Russian bath towels. The next event was the ^Directors 120 yards, handicap, run. The prizes which were donated hy the Directors were as follows: 1st, a gold pen aud pencil holder, bv A. C. Forsytbe;2d, apair of Opera glmses by John Elliott.' P. M. Maud, 6 yards, won first in 12 2-5 seconds, Martin Espenosa S yards, second by 3 inches, J. C. Kortik, 2.} yards, 3d. The following letter from John D. Garrison, the well known local amateur sprinter, recently appeared iu the Toronto "Empire." "A few mouths ago one W. H. Clark of Kingston challeng- ed me to a foot race for $250 a side. I did not reply to the challenge simply because he was a professional (and a very poor one at that), and I am yet an amatfur. I came here from Napanee about four aDd a half years ago, but have only been running this year. I have been very successful, having won twelve first prizes at running and two second prizes out of eighteen races. I covered the 440 yards in 51J seconds, making me^the fastest aniatenr on the coast and the time being the best made since 1880. Where Mr. Clarke a recognized amateur I would like to give him ten yards in 440 and run him for a S100 medal, and if I could not beat him five yards I would forfeit the medal. His challenge hurt me very much." Commentary on the letter the editor of the paper referred to said: "It iB unnecessary to say that it is very unsportsmanlike to place a man in the false position Garrison has been forced into by this challenge, but he is evidently distinguishing himself on the slope, and as long as things run his way he is hardly likely to trouble himself about W. H. Clark or any other of his jealous countrymen. CLUB JOTTINGS. At a meeting of the P. C. A. A. A . held at the Olympic Club rooms on last Friday evening, Ed Hartley's record for swimming half a mile in a tank, with ten turns, in 15 min- utes 26i seconds, was allowed. An application for mem- bership from the Pasadena Athletic Club was received. A committee was appointed to see about the holding of an indoor supplementary championship meeting in the pavilion in January. W. E Newbert was reinstated to the amateur ranks. The gymnasium of the Olympic Club is crowded day and night with persevering and ambitious athletes. It will be a long time before the teachers may expect a rest, for there are so many important events on the list, that their pupilB will need all their assistance for months to come. At a meeting of the Alpine Amateur Athletic Club held at Central Park on Thorsday evening, it was decided to have cricket and foot ball teams in conjunction with the clubs. Captains will be appointed soon, and practice will be begun at once. The following were elected members of the club: M. J. Lyons, Robert C. Mays, John Corbett, Conrad Trieber, Jerry Sheehan, B. F Aimes, F. McCarthv, J. Kelly, J. J. Kincaid, O. W. Turney, E. Dreyfus, H. Hanson, J. F. Clark, J. Lyons, W. Garoue and G W. Bishop. The membership is rapidly increasing, and it is expected that unusual interest will be taken in the coming election of officers. Too much cannot be said in praise of William Guer Harri- son, President of the Olympic Club. Mr. Harrison is work- ing assiduously day and night trying to increase the interest of members in club affairs. It is needless to say that up to date his work has been a big success. In less than five years the O. A. C. will have a club house second to none, od then the slow members will begin to appreciate the services of Mr. Harrison. AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. The third annual championship meeting of the American Athletic Union were successfully held at the Analastuo Island, Washington, D. C , on Saturday afternoon, October 12th; attendance about 3,000; track in fair condition; weather charming. Hundreds of ladies were amongst the andieuce. Three records were broken. As an effort will be made to have the meeting of 1892 held in San Francisco, the different results will be readjwith much interest by our local men who, should the Eastern cracks pay us a visit, will be pitied against them. The following is a complete list of the differ- ent results: The day's score for the trophy was a-* follows: Manhattan A C, 78; New York A C. 35; Detroit A C, 18: Acorn A A. 15; ACSN, 6; Boston A A, 4; Pastime A C, 3; New Jersey A C, 1; M C A of Philadelphia, 1. The total score of the four leaders for the year ending to day is as follow*: Manhattan A C, 190; NY AC, 143; Detroit A C, B6; New Jersey A C, 59, with the postponed pole vault points to be distributed.

MECHANICS' INSTITUTE Sept. ISth to Oct. 25th NO. PAC. INDUSTRIAL, PORTLAND Sept. 25th to Oct. 25th I/OS ANGELES— nth Annnal Fair October nth to 18th The^erre Haute Guaranteed Purse- For the last time we call attention to the advertisement of the Yigo Agricultural Society, in which they inform the readeis of the Breeder and Sportsman that they will give a guaranteed purse of $11,000 for trotting foals of 1890, the race to take place in the latter part of 1894. Several times already we have called the attention of our readers to this very generous purse, and also to the fact that the large amount is guaranteed by the National State Bank of Terre Haute,tbey having been indentified against any loss by twenty-seven of the principal business men, bankers and capitalists of that city. As divided, $5,000 will go to the winner; $2,500 to the second horse; $l,50o to the third; §1000 to the fourth ani $1000 to the breeder of the winner in money or plate, at the option of said breeder. The race will be mile heats, best three in five, in harness, and will be trotted over the superb track* which now has a national reputation, at Terre Haute, Indiana, the meeting to be held during the latter part of August 1894. The entrance is on the installment plan, ©10 of which must accompany the nomination on November Is*., 1890; $10 on April 1st 1891; $10 April 1st 1892; $10 October 1st 1892; $10 April 1st 1893; $15 October 1st 1893; $25 April 1st 1894, and $100 for start- ers payable August 1st 1894. Nominators will be re- quired to state name, color and sex of the foal, also to give tie names of the sire, the dam and the sire of the dam when known, also the name and postoffice address of the actual breeder of each foal nominated. One of the special clauses in the conditions is that iu the event of accident or injury to any foal nominated therein, nominators shall have the right at any time on or be- fore April 1st 1891 to substitute another foal for the one originally nominated, subject, however, to this restrict ion, viz., The substituting foal must have been owned by said nominator at the time he made the original nomination. As this is an extremely liberal purse, we confidently expect that there will be a large number of entries from California, and knowing the character of the gentlemen connected with the enterprise, we can heartily indorse it and give it our strongest recommendation. Death of Superior. A telegram to this office sta) es that Superior 4012 (record 2:19^) by Egbert, dam Mary by Woodford Mam. brino, was killed at Pueblo by falling from the cars. He was owned by the Du Bois Bros, of Denver, and valued at $40,000. Auction Sale of Trotting1 and Roadster Horses. We have received from D. J. Murphy, Esq., of San Jose, a catalogue of trotting Btock and roadster horses, which will be disposed of at public auction on Tuesday, October 28th, 1890, at the Railroad Stables, corner of Turk and Steiner streets, San Francisco. In glancing through the pamphlet it will be noticed that there is an exceedingly fine lot of broodmares of fored for sale, in addition to the colts and fillies, which are also catalogued. Hazel is a bay mare (standard), foaled in 1885, by Exile (standard), son of Echo 462; the dam of Hazel be ing Black Swan (dam of Annie Liurie 2-30); 2nd dam by David Crocket. This mare should prove of inestima- ble value to any breeder in the State, as the blood lines here shown fairly bristle with records. Echo having no less than fourteen in the 2:30 list. Exile, the sire of Hazel is full brother to Bob Mason, who secured a mark this year of 2:27£, and who lapped out Silas Skinner in 2:21 at the Napa track in August last. Exile's dam, Belle Mason, was by Williamson's Belmont, sire of Ven- ture 2:27£, and also the sire cf the dams of Belle Echo 2:20, Flora Shepherd 2:20, Nellie Patchen 2:27£, Mon- arch 2:28|, etc. L. J. Rose formed such a favorable opinion of this family that in his clearing-out sale he re- served two of Belle Mason's colts for stud use at Rose- mead. Hazel is at present in foal to Soudan 2:27§, he a son of Sultan, his dam, Lidy Babcock, dam of Elector 2:21^, by Whipple's Hambletonian. Gtpsie (standard) is a black mare, four years of age, by Grosvenor 1833 (sire of Governor, two-year-old re cord 2:55, and Lady Grosvenor, trial 2:28). The dam of Gipsie is the dam of Mamie Comet 2:23^, by Sports- man (sire of Ben Allen 2:31), the second dam by St. Clair (sire of the dams of Bonita 2:1S£, Fred Crocker 2:25£, and Manzanita 2:16). Grosvenor is by Adminis- trator 357, who is the sire of a dozen or more in the 2:30 list, his dam being by Edwin Forest 49; the second dam, Corinne, by Mambrino Chief II. Gipsie is well broken, and can show a mile close to three minutes although Bhe has never been trained to track purposes; in fual to Sou- dan, she should also prove a perfect gem to any stock farm. Miss Barns is a three year-old brown filly by Gros- venor, dam full sister to Zero 2:30, by Hercules, sire of the dam of Azmore 2:24|, and grandsire of the dam of Junio 2.22; 2nd dam by American Boy; 3rd dam a thoroughbred brought from Australia by I. C. Wood. This is a choice filly and should be highly prized by any breeder who has an Electioneer stallion as this nick should prove of the very best. Belle is a sorrel mare, foaled in 1872 by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr. 31, dam Zoe by Stockbridge Chief, Jr. (sire of Abe Edington 2:23^); 2d dam by Williamson's Belmont. All of this mare's colts show speed, and her yearling colt by Soudan can pace a mile in 45 seconds. Belle iB also iu foal to Soudan 2:27^. Lady Fisiier trotted a remarkable mile as a three - year-old in 2:57, the record at that time being much above what it is at present. The performance of Lady Fisher was considered almost phenomenal. She is the dam of Fisher 2:28, and the great dam of Chancellor 2:30. Lady Fisher is by Captain Fisher (sire of Simcoe 2:26), dam by Sir George; 2d dam by American Eclipse. Sometimes there is a doubt cast on the pedigree of Lidy Fisher as given above, but this is undoubtedly true as stated. At the time Mr. Crim brought Lady Fisher'B dam from the East, there was not the same importance paid to tracing a mare to the breeder as is now required. Mr. Crim being dead, it is impossible, except by acci- dent, to ever fully establish her pedigree. Lady Fisher has been bred to Soudan and is undoubtedly in foal. Lady Franklin, bay mare foaled in 1890, by Ben Franklin (sire of Easton's David Hill), dam Lady Fisher by Captain Fisher; 3rd dam by Sir Gjorge by American Eclipse. This mare has also been stinted to Soudan and is in foal* Chispa, seven years old, sire Tom Patchen, has also for a dam Lady Fish with same pecigree as given be- fore. Tom Patchen is a son of Geo. M. Patchen, Jr., his dam being by Chieftain 721. Chispa is a very beau, tiful bay with black points, built on lines that should produce great speed, and can trot ten miles at an average of a very little over three minutes per mile. She has also been bred and has produced colts, all of whom show exquisite style and finish. Chispa is also in foal to Soudan. Ouida is another daughter of Lady Fisher and was sired by Lame Deer, a thoroughbred son of Joe Daniels. This is a moat beautiful animal and can show a three- minute gait, is of excellent disposition, and any lady can drive her. Ouida was not bred this year. BELLE Brandon, foaled in 1880; by Electioneer, dam Queen by Belmont Jr., sou of Williamsou's Belmont; 3rd dam by Lexington. Belle Brandon is a bay, large and rangy, has been broken single and double, and makes a fine showy road mare. Her mother was a well known roadster and was driven a mile out in 2-36. Belle Brandon has been stinted to Soudan and is in foal. Meg is a grey mare, eight years old, by Tom Patchen; first dam by Stockbridge Chief Jr.; second dam by American Boy; third dam Lady Johnson owned by Or- rick Johnson, a mare that was brought to this State at a cost of $2,000 in 1852; her owner always claimed that Lady Johnson was a Morgan mare. Meg is a very fine looker and can travel all day; her owner has driven her sixty miles between sunrise and sunset many times. She is very stylish in harness, a splendid animj.1 and can trot a mile in three minutes or better. Meg has been stinted to Soudan. Hattie is another one of the mares sired by Tom Patchen, dam Queen by Joseph, sou of Hermes; second dam the dam of Quinn's Patchen by Stockbridge Chief Jr. Hattie is a beautiful brown with tan muzzle. Some yearB ago she received an injuty to one of her feet, which permanently disabled her. All of her colts, how- ever, show pleaty of trot and trot fast; bred to Soudan. Mtnerya has a record of 2:46, and a trial of 2;26; by Jim Lick; he a grandson of Hambletonian 10. Minerva's dam was by Hardwood, a Bon of Woodburn. This is a round-made, blocky-built mare and has any quantity of speed. She has frequently paced quarters in 33 seconds, and there is no doubt but what with very little work she can make a record of 20. Minerva like many of the balance bas been bred to Soudan. Hager ;s a daughter of Dick Patchen, and with this exception is bred in the same lines as Hattie, who is spoften of above. Space will hardly permit notice of all the mares that are mentioned in the catalogue, but there are enough jn the list to warrant a close inspection of the catalogues, which will be sent on application by Messrs. Killip & Co., auctioneers, at 22 Montgomery St., S. F. The Coronado Driving- Park Association. Mr. Frank B. Baldwin, manager, not only of the Fresno Fair Association Grounds, but also manager for the Coronado Beach Driving Park Association, bas been in town several days this week, drumming ud entries for the programme, which appears under the appropriate heading. Mr. Baldwin has interviewed many of the prominent horsemen throughout the State, and has re- ceived ample assurance that there will be entries from all sections to assist him in the inauguration of the first meeting, which will be held commencing December 2nd and continuing on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th; these days mentioned are for trotting horses only, while on Decem- ber 25th, 26th and 27th, and January 1st, 2nd and 3rd, there will be three or more races giyen each day to the bangtail division. In the 2:20 purse the management leaves the pu«-se free for all, but at the same time promise that Hazel Wilkes will not be one of the entries. In the 2:15 pacing race, Almont Patchen is barred, giv- ing the balance of the side wheelers a splendid chance to fight out the mooted question as to which is the best in the lot. The well known liberality of Mr. Baldwin in connection with the Fresno track is proverbial, and we know that the horsemen from this section will attend in a body to inaugurate the initial meeting of Coronado Beach. Entries for pacers and trotters close on Novem- ber 13th, while for the runners entries can be made un- til December 1st, with the Secretary, N. I. Baldwin, Coronado Beach Hotel, San Diego County. A Cattle Bale. Among other announcements in our advertising col- umns will be found one from Killip & Co., Live Stock Auctioneers, announcing that they will sell on Tuesday, October 28tb, 1890, at the Railroad Stables, corner of Turk and Steiner streets, San Francisco, a choice selec- tion of Holstein cattle' the property of George B. Pol- hemus, Esq., of Coyote, Santa Clara County. The cat- alogue consists of a choice Beleotion of bulls from the Cerro Allegro Herd, and many of them are well known, having beeu exhibited at the various fairs throughout the State. Romley, the head of the herd is No. 62 in the H. H. B. A. R., and as is indicated by his number was the sixty second bull ever admitted in the United Stales to the American Register, and also was the first admitted from California. Mr. Polhemus has determined to sell these choice cattle at whatever they will bring and no restrictions whatever have beeu placed upon the prioe for which they must be sold. There are no doubt many cattlemen throughout California, who desire to increase the value of their herds, and this will be an excellent opportunity for them to secure bulls of the very highest type of breeding and probably at a pricn that may not be equalled in a long time.

"Wallace will say when he hears that a yearling has trotted against the watch and has beaten 2.30. We can imag- ine the indignation tha*; will be implied and eypressed when he hears that the son of Sable Wilkes was not started in a Standard Stake, and we can also readily be- lieve that he will refuse to receive the record as being a legitimate one. Originally it was intended that Free- dom would be started against aged horses, but after care- ful deliberation, Mr. Corbitt, the owner, and John Gold- smith, than whom there is no better driver in the coun- try, determined that the trial should be made in the same manner in which the yearling stallion, Faustino, made his record of 2:35, especially as it was in like man- ner that Norlaine made her record of 2:3 L£. The fact has been sent broadcast to the world that Freedom is the first yearling that ever entered the 2:30 list, and whether the censors of thf National Trotting Horse Breeders' As- sociation see fit to accept it or not, the trotting horse world will always give Sable "Wilkes thft credit of being the first sire to have a yearling enter into the charmed circle. We shall await with some little curiosity the re- 8ultof Mr. Wallace's deliberation to see whether he will put the name of Freedom in the list of his 1890 perform- ers or whether he will, as in some cases we know of re. fuse to accept them because it pleases bis own sweet will. The Breeders' Meeting- The second annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Trot- ting Horse Breeders' Association is at last a thing of the past, and there are but few who have taken an active interest in the association, but what are well pleased with the result of their labors. As is well known, the association is not run for the purpose cf making money, but with two objects in view. First, the improvement of the light harness horse, and to provide £rst class Bport for their patrons. For some unknown reason the attendance was not what might have been expected, owing probably to the fact that many of the farmers and those who are work- ing on vineyards were hard at work, trying to finish their summer's labor before the rains set iu. Notwith- standing the paucity of the attendance, the racing was all that could be desired, and it is more than a pleasure to state that no assessment will be necessary from the members, as the sales of the various privileges, and the entries from tbe horse owners will just about bung the association out ev.^n on tbe meeting. Many horses have obtained records, and their owners are more than gratified; records that could not have been obtained without the assistance of such an association as is now trying to foster the trotting horse interests of California. It is to be regretted that Mr. Marvin returned too late with his stable of fine performers to allow him to make an appearance at Napa; however, it will be a source of . gratification to many to learn that within a very few weeks, a two day's racing meeting will be arranged, probably under the auspices of the Breeders* Association, at which time Sunol, Palo Alto, Stamboul, Freedom, Vida "Wilkes, and many other fast and promising horses will show their speed to the public. The Los Angeles Meeting. The eleventh annual fair or the Sixth District Agricultural Association began at Los Angeles Tuesday, .Oct. 14th and proyed to be a brilliant success.- The attendance, with the exception of the opening day, was gratifjingly large and the sport furnished throughout the week was of the best de- scription. Never in the history of racing in California has a week furnished so many neck and neck finishes. The trot- ting and pacing was also hotly contested and it took six and seven heats to decide most of the events. The meeting ended in a blaze of glory with Marigold's wonderful 2 mUe ran. The game three year old daughter of Alilner — Kati6 Pease ran the distance in the remarkable time of 3;30£, thus estab- lishing another world's record for California. This is the fastest time ever made by a three year old, and unless I am in error, the fastest 2 miles ever run in California. It was a great race for a mile and three-quarters between Marigold and Naicho B., but tbe mare drew away coining down the Btretch and won under a pull by half a dozen lengths. Murphy rode Marigold. Horsemen present all agreed that Marigold could ha\e made the distance in 3:29 flat, if she had been ridden on t the last quarter. The time for each half was as follows: one-half mile, 51.J; one mile, \:H\; one and a half miles, 2:36£, and two miles 3:30£. Naicho B., who was in great form was backed heavily. The son of Wanderer— Flower Girl ran a grand race and justified the confidence reposed in him by his backerB, but no one ex- pected snch a phenomenal race. The excitement was in- tense after the timers had hang out the magic 3:30}, al- though it was generally known that it had been a fast rnce from the fall of the flag. A cheer went up from the crowd when presiding Judge I, C. Newton announced that Mari- gold had broken the three year old record of the world. Matt. Storn was of course, the most elated man on the course and he did not lose any time in sending up to the judges' stand a plentiful supply of Pommeroy Sec. Mari- gold was surrounded by an admiring crowd when Murphy rode up to gtt permission to dismount. Billy Holloway, the trainer for Matt Storn, was also congratulated by his admirers. The Lob Angeles track i3 one of the fastest in the country, as in addition to the wonderfal two-mile record performance, Peri, a two-year old, ran three quarters in 1:14$, and Naieho B. won the one and one-quarter mile handicap in the fast time of 2:08£. The Junior Stakes was won by the speedy Mystery. She negotiated the distance with 112 pounds up in the excellent time of 1:14£. In the same race Conrad demonstrated that he was a great colt. He was barely beaten half a length by Mystery, and when it is stated that the hand some son of Flood packed the terrific impost of 127 pounds, horsemen will understand the merit of the performance. A des'rablc feature of tbe meeting was that there was not a semblance of a job. Every horse was run to win, and as a result, the sport gave entire satisfaction In fact, the August and the present meeting wM help along future meetings. The public can now be relied on to turn out in force, and Los Angeles is destined to become one of the most important racing points in California. One of the eyents of the week was the special pacing between Silkwood and Hummer. The contest was set for Friday afternoon. Seldom has two more evenly matched members of the side-wheel division battled for supremacy. The "pumpkin rollers" and ''hayseeds" from Santa Ai.a backed S lkwood. The Northern "talent" put up their coin on Hummer at odds of about $100 to $80. It proved to be a sensational race. Silkwood captured the first heat by the shortest of noses. 'The crowd surrounded tbe judges' stand, and when the announcement was mads "Silkwood first," a mighty cheer went up from thousands of throats. The second heat was a repetition of the first. It was nip and tuck all the way round, Silkwood gaining the verdict in the last score of strides Notwit' s'anding Silk- wood's win in the first heat, Hummer sold a slight favorite, the Northern horse bringing $40 against $36 !• r Silkwood. There was a big chop ia the betting after the second heat, however, and Hummer brought little or nothing. Silkwood was equal to the occasion, and won the third heat in gallant style. The enthusiasm of the spectators knew no bounds. Ladies waved their handkerchiefs and men threw their hats in the air. The scene was one that will long be remembered. Such enthusiastic cheering has not been heard at the park since the afternoon that Sfamboul beat Arab in 2:15. "Wil- letts, the owner and driver of Silkwood, is three score years and past, and weighs less than 125 pounds. Five thousand people cheered the old man as he drove up to the stand to get weighed in. The result of the race was a bitter disap- pointment to the talent. Garrity was conGdent of victory even after the second heat. He and his friends must have lost over $4,000, At some future time I will give the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman some information in regard to the peculiar methods adopted in training Silkwood. FIRST DAY. A report of the opening day has already appeared in the Breedek and Sportsman, but the summaries are herewith appended as a matter of record; STJMMARV.

The half mile was won by Mystery in tbe last half dozen strides by the shortest of noses from Zingerella, a shapely filly by Ei Corrigan. The last two heats in the 2:2S trot were trotted on Wednesday. SECOND DAY. The attendance was quite fair and the sport provided first class. The favorites were again knocked out. Comet was backed for considerable in the half mile heats, but he was never in the hunt. The Santa Maria horse proved to be clearly off. Amazon captured the first heat, but it was all over- with the short bred horso when he failed to land the second heat. The one and a quarter mile handicap resulted in a big surprise. According to the talent there was noth- ing in it except Rico and Marigold. The betting on the race was fast and furious. Naicho B with the light impoBt of 102 pounds won the ruce in the fast time of 2:0S£. Tne summaries tell the story: SUM'MAB.Y. First race— Trotting; 2:26 class; best 3 in 6.

Two thousand people put in an appearance at the track on Thursday. The three minute trot was finished. It look bjx heats, however, to decide for Sultandin who had two beats to his credit, fell down coming down the stretch in the fourth heat ani was distanced. The victory of Orphan Girl was a big surprise, as she showed up lame after the third heat. The two year old races had another surprise party, Mystery landing the event after a splendid race. Conrad just beat Peri for the place. Billy Appleby rode Conrad at 127 pounds and the Rose colt ran a wonderful race with such terrific weight np. Raindrop won the Pasadena Handicap ra her handily. There was a strong tip out on Minuet, but the Riyon D'Or filly did not prove equal to the occasion. Three heats of the mixed pacing and trotting between Senor, Rory O'More and Sunrise were finished before dark, but as Son- rise won the last heat and Leonore the first and second, the race went over until 1 next day SUMMARY.

The races were of a sensational character. Leonor won the fourth heat and the race in the mixed pacing and trotting. Naicho B., Mozart and Forrester sported silk in the selling race. It was a nip and Jtock "race ^between Naicho B. and Mozart from the fall of the flag. |Naicho B. won by a nose after a desperate finish in the good time of 1:48. The Santa Barbara Handicap was another grand race — Conrad was the favorite with Kildare and Dan Marpby next in demand. Conrad got decidedly the worst of the start and was never in the hunt. Kildare, Murphy and Peri dashad down the straight. Whips were plied vigorously but Peri won cleverly by little to spare. Murphy got the verdict over Kildare for the place. The Silk wood -Huninier racd was next called. It resulted in a victory for Silkwood, but it was a deep contest- Hummer broke soon after getting the word in the first heat and was four lengths to the bad at the quarter. Garrity urged Hummer along and had made up tbe lost ground , it the half, the second quarter having been paced in 3l seconds. Garrity undoubtedly made too muoh use of his horse in the early part of the race and it waB not surprising that he was unable to stall off the black hnrse when he came with a big burst of Bpeed near the finish. Silkwood won the heat in the last half dozen strides. The finish was so close that many thought it was a dead heat. The 'third heat was closely contested but it was Silkwood's heat from the word go.

The two year old race dwindled down to a match between Mystery and;Peri. The belling was spirited and each filly had many staunch admirers. Peri won after a capital race. Tbe two mile race was hotly contested for a mile and three quarters when Marigold drew away and won one of the most remarkable races ever run in the West. The five-eighths mile special proved to be an even betting race. The quartette entered all sold out for about even mon- ey. Jnst before the race Alfarata had a slight call in tho betting. Ida Glenn came down the stretch looking all over a win- ner, but Alfarata came up with a rush on the outside and captured the race by a Bbort nose. The rider of Ida Glenn quit riding just a trille too soon. The 2:45 class waB another knocker for the talent. Jim went begging in tbe poolB tor $2 00 to $30., bnt he weut the first, second and fourth beata to the surprise of tbe backers of Lizel Wilkes, Vida Wilkes, Regal Wilkes. Freedom, etc., stamping him as the star driver of the Pacific Coast. There can be no question as to John's ability, it being generally conceded that he iB far and away the best driver that has ever been on the Pacific CoaBt, and there are many who consider that he is the moBt compe- tent driver and conditioner in the Uuited States. Doble, Splan and James H Goldsmith hav* each their admirers, but it is safe to say that John can huld his own with any of these well known celebrities. Money is as plenty as water in San Francisco when it comes to matching either Stamboul or Palo Alto against Nel- son, to trot either here in December or at the Eist next year. The stumbling block in the way of a match is, that the own- ers of both these great horses will need them for stud pnr- pises next year. Senator Stanford likewise disapproves of I mat^h race* Henoi. if either of thene great California bred horsea roests Nel-ion. it will have to be this vear, And as the sno v will aoou fly at the East, the ra^e will have to take place here or not at all. Several weeks agoH. J. Agnew purchased from Mr. Bunch of lone the bay filly Lynette, by Linwooi, dam Lady Belle by Kentucky Hunter. At the Oakland meeting Bhe made a record of 2:30 and at the Breedeis meeting still further re- duced this mark to 2:25£. The price paid for Lynette was $2,000, and not satisfied with having one in the family Mr. Agnew bas also bought from S. N. Straube of Fresno a full sister to Lynette for $600, and in addition has purchased the dam also. This is a great addition to the Agnew Stock Farm as far as breeding is concerned, and also gives the trotting Btable a good reliable mare in Lynette. Tournament's winnings for the year have reached the enor- mous amount of $89,575, the largest amount won by any horse yet foaled in America, in a single season. When we consider that, after losing six races before he won any, he has won just twice as much, money as Luke Blackburn, ihe best three-year-old up to his time; and that he lost by bad riding, at least three valuable races which he ought to have won, his success seems almost phenomenal. We predict he will be the most dangerous four-year-old of 1891, and certain to be favorite for the Suburban in all the winter bet ting, notwithstanding his certainty of incnrring the top weight. My belief is that it will not do to sell any more California stallions to Eastern breeders, or we shall have none left for ourselves; and I am glad to think that both Senator Stan* ford and Mr. Hobart have refused a great many tempting offers for Palo Alto and Stamboul, that these great and vig- orous sires may be retained within the State. Even should both be retained as private stallions henceforth and forever, the S'ato would still be the gainer. Look at the brilliant galaxy that has left these Bhores within a few years — Nut- wood, Anteeo, Woodnut, Anlevolo, Abbottsford, Alcazar, Bell Boy, Chimes, Ansel and a host of other good ones omit- ted for the lack of space. Well, Nelson is at the head of the list of stallions with low records, provided the Cambridge track is fall length. On Tuesday last Nelson reduced his recrd to 2:102at that point, and astonished the light harness horse world with his effort. When Mr. Rose saw the annourcement that Nelson had beaten "eleven," he quietly said the Eastern horse will have to beat 2:10 to beat Stamboul as I am confident he can easi- ly make that time. The supporters of the Palo Alto colors are equally Bnre that Senator Stanford's game son of Elec- tioneer cantonch 2:10 or better, and assert that it is only a question of a few weeks before California will hold the stal- lion record of the world. The happiest man in Napa on last Saturday, was Wm. Corbitt, proprietor of the San Mateo Stock Farm, when Free- dom started and beat the yearling stallion record 2:35 and also knocked out Norlaine's reoord of 2:3H, made in 1887. Now that so much attention is being paid to the education of yearlings, it may be expected that within a very few years there will be many of that age in the 2:30 list, but at the same time a majority of the colts will in all probability be bred and raised in California, as the climate here is much better suited for early speed than the Eastern States, and it may be many a day before such a sensational yearling per- fLrmer as Freedom is seen east of the Rocky Mountains. The following directions are given by a horseman for making the several mashes recommended for sick or delioate horses: Bran mash: Put two quarts of good sweet bran into a pail and pour boiling water over it, mix thoroughly with a clean stick or iron spoon and let stand until cool. Bre id mash: Break np a loaf of bread and soak it in fresh milk, and add a little salt. This is a nourishing feed for weak and delioate animals. Linseed mash: Boil half a pound of whole flaxseed in two quarts of water until it is reduced to about three pints, and while hot pour over a quart of bran, mix and feed when cold, Man is the only animal that takes kindly to hot feedd and drinks. On his last visit to Los Angeles, Captain Tom Merry spent three days at Rosemeade, and fell in love with the yearling hay oolt by Stamboul ont of Minnehaha, dam of Alcazar and Beautiful Bells. "Never saw such a developed colt in all my life," said the emaciated Oregonian, "He has the back and leins of Nordenfelt, the strongest built thoroughbred horse I ever beheld, linked with the quality and finish of Locksley. In all my born days I never saw such a gentleman in har ness. "A quaint, dry smile overspread Mr. Rose's features at this remark, Buoh as only a breeder could wear. No man who had merely purchased such an animal for money, could have realized such a feeling as the master of Rosemeade concealed in that smile. Any man with money may buy good horses, but it requires genius to breed them. A verv well written article upon the kite traok, from the pen of Edwin F. Smith, the Secretary of the California State Agriooltural Society, appears in the last New York Spirit. That gentleman takes the ground that, as long as the public are as desirous to witness the start for a race as to admire its finish, the oval track will continue to retain its pristine pop- nlari y: and the kite shaped track will never be bo popular for that reason. And as the gate money is the chief support of all trotting and racing associations, the people will be more apt to attend contests given npon elliptical courseB than on the kite-shaped tracks which have given birth al- ready to bo many purely sensational performances at the diagonal gait. John Goldsmith came home from Napa, literally "Shout- ing the battle cry of Freedom," Most men regard him as a better driver than his brother James, though inferior to him as a trainer. The performance of Freedom at Napa on Sat- urday afternoon, a mile in 2:29£ by a yearling, left him little or nothing to wish for in the way of reputation. The mighty youngster was trained to the hour and never was a horse more tit for the fray, The only regret he could proba- bly have had, was that his honored old father could not have been there to witness his triumph: Though the oil "MaH'e" friends have ceased to oheer And AJden peacefully Bleeps; Though hUBhed is the clamor for Volunteer, The stable Its prestige keeps. The well known "By" Holly has at last determined to sell out his ei tire racing establishment including the farm, stal- lions and brood mares. The old time driver has been under the weather for a long time, asthma having taken a firm hold on the formerly rugged constitution, and the enle is a neces- sity. For thirty-one years the veteran has been a familiur figure on many of the tracks throughout the United States and in that time has manured to scrupe up a sufficient fortune to Jint him for the balauoe of bis days, und now he is going to take a well earned rest. In the oourde of a few weeks an announcement will ba made giving full particulars when the aale will take plane. The Hell Gate Stable, afcer an existence of three weeks, has collapsed, and thereby hangs a tale. It is owned by young Ehert, son of the famous brewer. He started out by buying the entire stable of Theodore Winters and putting Matt Allen in charge. Then he engaged the noted James McLaughlin as jookey next season, with Lambley as assistant. All this time Papa Ehert was in Earope. His young son was bossing the business at this end. Where he got the racing fever nobody knew. When the Hell Gate Stable made its appearance in public print, the many relatives of young Mr. Ehert marvelled much at the prodigality of his expendi- tures, and suggested by w hat they said that there might not be any Hell Gate Stable when Ehert senior returned. A. Smith, Toronto, Can., has recently imported from Eng- land the following royally bred horses: Silurian, bay horse, foaled 1877, by Weolcok (winner of the St. Leger), dam Piastre by Wild Dayrell (winner of the Derby), her dam Rupee, by The Nabob, out of Bravery by Gameboy, tfco. Sarah, bay mare, foaled 1878. by Playfair, (brother to Sterling), dam by Lifeboat, her dam Mellona by Teddington, out of Honey Dear by Plenipotentiary, 4th dam My Dear by Bay Middleton, &c. Lottie Dott, bay filly, foaled 1837, by MunoaBter, dam Eiderdown by King John, her dam Gossamer by Birdcatoher, out of Cast Steel by Whisker, &c. Rarely, if ever, are such a host of prominent turfmen to be found at a sale as were present at the A«tor sale on October 16th. AmongBt them were to be seen J. B. Haggin, Pierre Lorlllard, W. H. Fearing, Charles Reed, E R. Cassidy, J. E. Kittson, W. A. Engeman, James Galway, J. A. Morris. L. C. Sanford, New Amsterdam. N. Y. ; B. G. Thomas, Casper Johnson, G. W. and J. M. Littrell, Milton Yonng Henry Miller and C. Doyle, from Kentucky; T. C. Patterson and William Hendrie from Canada, and L C. Morray, Balti- more, D. D. Withers, Eugene Leigh, Watt Rngers; Dr. Carter S M. Smith, C W. Chapin, Lsma=n°y Bros., Matt Byrnes, L. C. Bruoe, Legrande Lucas, J. J. Williams and others. The total realized for the Ferncliff stud was $85,675 for thirty-three head, an average of $2,596. At the Bale of the Ferncliffe Stud last week, J. B. Haggin purchased Glidelia (Bonnie Scotland — Waltz) in foal to Ga- lore, for $6,000; Peoria, (Mortemer— Matchless) in foal to Galore, for $5,000; Maid. (Mortemer — Highland L) for $1,600; Bedotte. (Bonnie Scotland— Ermengarde) $1,400, snd Jewelry, (War Dance— Gold Ring) $1,000. The three latter are in foal to imported Kingston. When imported Galore, a five year old stallion by Galopin out of Lady Maura by Maca- roni, was offered, Cbas. Reed started him at ¥5.000 and bids went up rapidly to $28,000, J. B. Haggin, J. A. Morris, P. Lorillard, B. G. Thomas and C. Reed all seeming anxious to get the horse. E; V. Snedeker, however offered $30,000, and he was knocked down to him for R. W. Walden, of Mid- dleburg Md. Mr. Haggin also purchased the brown mare imported Windmill by Favonius, dam by North Lincoln for $300, and a yearline filly by Friar Tuck from Windmill, for $1100. Monroe Chief holds, up to date, the stallion reoord at tow- mileB,bsiDg4:46,the fastest time being 4:43 by Fanny Withers spoon. It is now past the middle of October and, as yet, there are no indication that this is going to be a severe winter. Indeed, the unparalled rigor of last winter wonld lead to a contrary prediction from almost any of our weather prophets. I am quite sure of at least five weeks good weath- er, during which eiiher Stamborjl or Palo Alto can be got as hard as nails and fit to go a bruising race at two miles. Palo Alto's gameness his never yet been called in question, and his breeding would indicate him a glutton for a dis- tance. On the other hand, Stamboul has the smoothest and most fiotionless gait we can remember to have seen, and nothing has yet developed in all his races to indicate that he would tire at two miles, especially nnder the Bkillful pilo- tage of such a reinsman as Goldsmith. I hope to see one or the other of these famous stailions lower the two-mile re- cord to 4:42 before the close of this brilliant old year. The New York Times of the 17th describes in great style the attempt to stop betting on the opening day (16th) of the New Jersey Jockey Club at Elizabeth. The comedy of the afternoon was supplied by "Pete" De Lacy, the Tammany politician and faro-bank proprietor of this city, who has for a year past been trying to annoy the jockey clubs in New Jersey beoauae they would not furnish him news from the tracks so that he may keep hiB pool rooms in this city open in defiance of the law. De Lacy drove to the track in company with one Eraser, a Justice from Run- way. Halted outside the gate, Fraser established court in De Lacy 's carriage. One Skahill. a cleik for De Lacy in one of his gambling houses here, was made a special constable to arrest the officers of the jookey club and the bookmakers on the track for keeping a disorderly house under an obsolete New Jersey law. This Skahill then went into the betting ring in search of violators of the law. He got some names, and Justice Fraser in De Laoy's carriage isBued warrants for their arrest. Skahill had four dilapidated farmer-looking men with him to serve the warrants. There was hayseed in their hair and no cour- age in their bosoms. The betting ring was orowded with spectators, and, as usual, a number of PinKeiton's men were soattered about to preserve order und look ont for pickpock- ets or other disreputable characters. The Hayseed consta- bles under Skahill's leadership started in to serve the war* rants several times and on each Qooasion there was a crowd to follow them to see the fun. The bookmakers who were wanted would disappear from their stands as if by magio, and in this game of hide and seek the countrymen with their war- rants seemed to lose both their heads and hearts. They faltered in the face of a crowd and they hesitated to serve a warrant for fear thev would get the wrong man. A score or more of suob attempts, always with the same results, were made. Finally Skahill and his aasietants gave the thing up In disgnst, and Skahill, muoh crestfallen, drove his oountry constables from the track, abusing them a* a lot of oowards in language as iuelegant as it was forcible. This comedy lasted about two hours, but at the end of an hour and a half Justioe Fraser adjourned his onnrt in the p.irn bier's carriage and left the vicinity as thoroughly disgusted us was his men- tor. De Lacy, at the failure of their scheme to make trouble and obtain fees. It was a fruitless day's work for De Lacy. He oould have made more money and had more fun if he had remained at his faro bank in the Bowery all day. 1890 2P*e Igmfe mxff, j^prirtsmati. 387 Los Angeles Races Continued. STJMMABY.

V. 8, 1117 Golden Gat© Avenue, 8an Francisco. C. L. I have a 6ve year old colt just broken'to harness. He is a good heavy draught horse, bat has got a ring bone on the oil' fore leg. When going slowly he does not appear to go lame, but when I trot him he favors it a little. Will he get worse on it, and if bo what should I do to cure him? Answer. — If his work be slow aud on soft ground, it is not likely to lame him moch; but with fast work on hard roads, it will most probably get gradually worse. Firing and blis- tering, with a conple of months rest generally has a beneficial effect in horses of his age. P. H. In your issue of August 16th, yon recommended tiring my horse for spavin, 1 did so and he is still lame, tbongh not bo bad as before. Is there any way to get rid of the lame ness? Answer. — Firing a second time is generally of benefit, but there is no certain cure, especially if the horse be very old. Fire him again aud blister him iu about a month from the time yon tire him. Give him at least two months rest. I have a horse that has been lame in the hip for six or eight months. I blistered him over the joint three times Biuce then and have done comparatively no work with him. Be is still as lame as ever, and always appears worse after he gets a rest. Answer. — Are you sure your horse is lame in the hip? Examine the hock and see if there be any sign of spavin there- Better get a qualified veterinary Bnrgeon to attend to him, or communicate with us again and give symptoms of lame- T. C. I have a three-year-old workhorse that last winter had mud fever in her hind legs, and all this fall one of his hind legs swell a good deal, and when he goes out of the stable in the morning, it is very stiff for a little while until he gets warmed up, then the swelling goes out, and he is all right, bnt it swells up again at night. Please inform me through your paper what is best to do to him. Answer. — Bandage the leg daily after work. If he comes in warm, wait nntil he cools off. Give him daily one drachm of potassium iodide id a mash. T. J. Berry & Co. Mammoth Breeders' Sale.

This great practical horse book Ib a handsome, three hundred page octavo, bound in cloth, ele- gantly printed, superbly illustrated, and explains iii every detail the remarkable success of CHARLES MARVIN and the whole plans and me- thods pursued at Palo Alto as to breaking, training, shoeing, gaiting, drivlcg, keeping, racing and breeding trotters. Read what J. G. Sibley, the owner of St. Bel, says of thiB 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 that colt's capacily as a trotter. The work impressed me bo strongly that I baveordered twenty copleB, and shall place one In the bands of every rubber on our farm."

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 1b a good square trotter, with every indication of great speed, and la ao gBntleand kind, that a lady can drive him. The owner's only reason for selling him is that business calls him away from this section of the Stat*. He will be sold at a reasonable figure This is a splendid opportunity for a gentleman to secure a first-class trotter al 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, address JUANITO JK., Santa Clara P. O., Cal. How to Get Stock to the Souther Farm. The Souther Farm Is one and a half mileB northeast of S^n Leandro and eight miles southeast of Oak- land- The stables 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 placed. Guide boards will be found at every cross road. In any ordinary weather the roads are very good, and they are fairly good after the unusually heavy Minlall of the past winter. All stock Bent from tan Francisco may be brought over by GTCia's Express, No. 3 Market street, San FranciBCO. They alBO have an order box outside of faawley Bros.' Hurdware house on the corner of Market and Beale Btreets. The express leaves San Francisco on the Creek, mute boat, which starts at 1 :3l, but all orderB should be in the order box at Market and Beale streets by 10 o'clock, or at the office. No. 3 Market street, by II o'clock at the latest. In the caBe of very young or verv 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 caarge will be made In such cases, to cover the extra expense incurred. HorseB are very easily taken from 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. Horses can be shipped liy rail from almost all p irts of the State to San Leandro. Always notlTy the Farm several davs before shipping anything, and tlien men will be on hand to receive sto^k on arrival The 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 t he farm in good season by letter or telegram, the animals sent are saved waiting a couple ot hours in the ear Pissenger trains leave San Francisco (from the broad gauga ferry) and First and Broadway, Oakland, at frequent intervals during the day.

MuBket's son Curassier. and Cardigan also started, but they were never in the hunt. As your readers must be aware, if they read the Australian turf gossip, C.nbine is a regular sluggard until he toes the scratch, and he has, without any exaggeration, to be "shooed" like an old goose and fairlv driven out of the paddock with a whip. Once at the post all trouble ceases, and it is a sharp horse that gets the better of Carbine in a start Megaphone's rider made the pace with the hope of Carbine's weight wear- ing the champion down, and when half tbe distance had been covered he was three lengths to the good. Carbine tnen commenced to creep up, entering the straight on even terms with the flying colt, and then commenced a bitter struggle with the unusual sight of tbe champion under heavy pun- ishment of whip and spur. Sbwly, but sorely, Carbine drew away and won by three-quarters of a length in the won- derful time of 2 min. 7 Bees, for the 1} mile, the fastest time ever run on an Australian course. The paoe told on Car- bine's olH weak spot, the heel, which opened slightly and since then he has been wearing a bar shoe. The Inspector of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals ought to have been around on Megaphone's behalf, as later in the day his owner started him in the Sydney handicap. 1 i mile, with 9 st. 51b. up. Sbe wbs elected favorite by tbe crowd, but as might be supposed his running to within a length of Carbine in wonderful time took too much out of him, and Little Bernie placed another win to his credit. On the concluding day the steeplechase was ran amidst a regular chapter of accident. Every horse in the race fell, but Graf- ton and Reuben remounted and finished in the order named. In the Waverly handicap Little Bernie weighed at 8 st. 11 lb. suffered defeat at the hands of the light weighted 5 year old Claiemont, and ;then Mr. Gannon had a well deserved win with Melos in the Randwick ;Plate, a weight for age three mile race. Simon won the FiDal handicap l.T mile fol- lowed by Sir Modred's handsome son Antaeus, an aristo- cratic field bringing up the rear. Simon, who ran indifferently all through the meeting, runs id the name of his trainer, T. Brown, but is owned by the Hon. W. A. Long. And now for a few words about Megaphone, the three- year-old by the Queensland sire Newbold, out of a well per- formed Queensland mare named Sound, upon whom we look for the BQcoessor to Carbine. Unfortunately he was not nominated for tbe Sydney and Melbourne Derbies, or the Caulfield and Melbourne Cops. He was entered for the Metropolitan, and had merely to go out and win, but at tbe last moment his owner scratched him, and the least said on the unpleasant subject the better. He has won races out of number in the colooy of his birth, and the manner in which he extended Carbine in the Craven Plate stampq him as a colt of unflinching bravery under punishment. And row for the most pleasant bit of news about the colt. The Hon. D. S. Wallace, the straight running owner of Carbine, has purchased him for .£3.000. That the wonder was not in worthy hands may be judged from his scratching for the metrop, and the starting of a three-year-old with 9a|. 41bs. up on the Bame day as his gruelling race with Carbine. "Plunger" Brodribb, whose horses are in the same stable as the Hon. D. S. Wallace's, trained by Walter Higenbotham, has ever shown himself to be a man ready to back his opin- ion. When the father died he l^ft two boys and some em- barrassed Station property, the equity of redemption of which the brothers Bold for £500 eaoh. "Plunger" said £500 was no go d to him, and he would be either a man or a mouse, so he went out to Flemington and backed horses. His luck was phenomenal, and with his winnings he invested largely in the proprietory mine at the Barrier Rauges Silver Fields, which turned up trumps, and so far as appearances go, he is now a wealthy man. He lost £3 000 on Titan for the Syd- ney D rby, but he more than picked it up on Carbine's win in the Craven Plate, as he laid as many £600 to £400 as the books cared about taking, and rumor s'ays at the end of the meeting he was £fi.000 to the good.

A Short History of His I, Up. On laBt Tuesday afternoon Andy McDowell, who has 1 een intimately associated with the development of the trotting horse in California for the past seven years, bid a host of friends good-bye at the Market St. wharf, as he left for the Bitter Rout Valley Ranch of Marcus Daly in Montana. Dar- ing a conversation which the writer had with the noted reinsman prior to bis leaviug for his new home, the follow- ing short biographical sketch was obtained, and there is no doubt but what it will prove interesting to many of our readers. The subject of this sketch claims that his name is not Andrew but Andy McDowell, and that he was born at Kingston, Canada in 1849. His boyhood days were spent working on the Erie Canal, and it was there that he probably obtained ihe love for the horse, which finally caused him to :i iopt the training of horses as a profession. One of the first persons he went to work for was Rhody Prin- gle, some twenty-five yearB ago, and it may have been even a little more. His first work was the ordinary rough labor with which all youDg lads have to become familiar when they as- sociate themselves with a Btable for the first time; but show- ing aptitude for his new business, it was not long before he was a full fledged groom and was entrusted with horses to exercise. Andy staid with the gallopers for about nine years and finally believing that a ehaoge might be beneficial, he left the Pringle stable and beat his way from Trenton, Cana- da to Oswego. It would seem that the Captain of the boat knew who hiB stowaway passenger was. for ou arriving at their destination the officer very kindly gave McDowell $3 when he landed. In addition to riding in flat races, Andy had had some experience as a hurdle rider, having ridden for Smith German; while in Oswego this Mr. German, brought over from Canada a flee-bitten grey mare, with which he bantered several of the local celebrities to race. After many discufsions a race was arranged betweeu German's mEtre and another horse of the same sex called Jenny Lind owned by John Ford, who lived at Port Hope, Canada. McDowell was engaged to ride Jenny Lind, and won the race handily, many of the local sports losing heavily on German's mare. After the race Andy was given $60, which he claims was more money than he had e*er bad at any one time in his life. After tbi-s he made several trips on the Canal, mainly to Rochester, and «m in a short time engaged by Thos. Parker of Albion, New York, with whom he staid seven years. The first of the horses to bring McDowell fame as a driver was George Dawson, who was afterwards known as Billy Bowlegs; in the same string was old Stranger, Fearless and Brown Dick, the latter being a horse that was always sure of getting at least a little of the money hung up. Along about the middle of the 70's McDowell went to woTk for Simon Butts, of Rochester, New York, where he had charge of John Barney and Bruiser. The first races in which he took part for the new stable were at Jackson) Michigan, where Bruiser was taken sick and distanced: from there the stable went to Greenville, Michigan, where Mc- Duwell met a stable of ringers under the charge of a man now prominent in horse circles in this State, but Bruiser was so fast that he never lost a heat, although as far as the pool box was concerned he might just as well have last the race, as those who were in the crooked work were interested in the pool box, and from that day to this McDowt.ll has never received the $1,S00, which he placed in the custody of those who were selling pools. The race was prolested.it being claimed that Bruiser, owing to a false representalion, was not entitled to the money, and the judges upheld the protest so that the Butts stablo had to get to their next point as best they could. "While in Michigan, McDowell was hired at Bay City to drive the horBes owned by Towsey, Westover and Merrill, for whom he worked about three years, driving in Ihe meantime Palma 2;22£, Walton, and Kate Hall 2:24£, At the end of the three years one of the partners took it into his head that McDowell had pulled Palma in one of his races and as Andy puts it, "we dissolved there and then . I had won the race in three straight heats, but the judges had taken one of the heats from me, and I then requested the represen- tative of the partner, who was present, to put up another driver, and Frank Van Ness was given the reins. The geld- ing was afterwards distanced, the only race he ever lost in two years." In 18S0 Andy went to work forB. J. Johnson, and won many victories with Sciola, who was also known in the West- - em country as Kate Wesner, Katydid, Honest Trotter, and at least a score of other names but that was before McDowell took charge of her. In the same stable was Fairmont 2:29J by Wild Billy, dam a Black Hawk mare. McDowell vows and declares that this is the fastest horse, with two excep. tions, that he ever eat behind in hie life, and that he has been satisfied for many years that he could have driven him in 2:15 or better when that was a much lower mark than 2:12 is now. In connection with this horse it might not be out of plice to say that while drivine at Kansas City the two mammoth grand stands weie burned to the ground while one of the healB was being trotted, and the excitement was so great that no time was ever given out, although McDowell says he knows it to be 2:22£. Having driven for Johnson about two years, McDowell next transferred bis services to the stable of Campbell & Kane of Dallas, Texas, they having in their stable Golden Rule and KeDo. Shortly after McDowell joined forces with tbe Texans, he bought for them the brown gelding Sleepy Joe, and afterwards gave him a record of 2:19:1, &Qd also gave Keno a record of 2:17£. After this mark waB made for the latter horse, be traded him for Fuller who was then at Roches- ter, New York. Prior to this Fuller bad not won a race and was considered of but little account by those who had seen him in his work- the horse was taken to Utica and while there some gentleman came on from Rochester and tried to secure four pac- ers as a side attraction for a grand trotting race that was to take place at Rochester on July 4th. Three pacers were easily se- cured, but those interested would not listen to the idea of Mc- Dowell's driving Fuller, as they claimed it would detractfrom the merits of the race to have such a slow horse in it, howev- er, McDowell finally agreed to pay his entrance money al- though "the other three horses were given free entrance, the purse hung np being 51,000. Much to the surprise and dis- comfiture of those who thought that the race could be easily manipulated, Fuller won the first, third and fourth heats. Next he wbb taken to Voughkeepsie but was there distanced, however, after that he never lo3t a race that year, McDowell giving him a record of 2:13J. The following spring the horses were taken from Dallas and prepared for campaign work at Louisville, Kentucky. The circuit starting that season at Chicago. There McDowell got second money in two races with Sleepy Joe; afterwards winning at Pittsburg, Cleveland and Buffalo with him. On arriving in Rochester, the old home of McDowell, one of Ihe gentlemen interested in the stable made the suggestion that it would be a good thing to IoBe this race as the gelding was selling at $100 to $10 and $12 for the field. McDowell refused to "do business" and proposed to win as usual. On thus declariog himself, he was invited on the spot to settle up, when he was paid in full, together with $100 more than he was entitled to. One of the gentlemen who was inter- ested in the atable, met McDowell at the bottom of the stairs and said, "What's the matter, Andy?" "Nothing, but you'll find out." The partner expressed surprise on learning of McDowell's dismissal, and said that he should drive Sleepy Joe during the balance of his engagements, and said that he would get $100 a week for so doing. McDowell assented to this very liberal proposition, and left the gentleman standing jn the hall-way. Meeting a few friends, McDowell began celebrating his release from the close pressure of business, and it was not long before many bottles of wine had been uncorked and he was not fit to drive. Two different drivers had been up behind the favorite, but neither of them seemed capable of steering the gelding to victory, and the large audience very soon manifested signs of displeasure, and the marshal was instructed by the judges to hunt up Andy. After a short time, Marshal Palmer found Andy in rather a serious state of intoxication in the club house, but took him, however, over to the judges' stand, where Col. Parsons asked McDowell if the row which so many had been talking about was on the square between the owners of the stable and himself, McDowell answered, "Yes," whereupon Col. Parsons asked him if he felt that he could drive the horse to win, McDowell answered, "Yes, but I'm so full that I can't see the horse's ears." The horses were rung out for the fourth heat, McDowell being up behind Sleepy Joe and won the heat readily in 2:21}, but in the fifth heat St. Cloud, who already bad two heats to the good, ran into McDowell's sulky on the tack- stretch, and being a very handy horse, won the heat in 2:22; the judges not allowing the claim for foul, and consequently the public, who were backing the favorite, lost largely in the pool box. Immediately after this race was over, Mr. Val- ensin made McDowell a good offer to visit California and train his horses, the proposition being at once accepted. Having agreed to drive Sleepy Joe during the balance of his engagements, McDowell went to Ulica and saw Campbell drive the gelding several miles, but not liking hiB appear- ance, refused to have anything more to do with him, so he started the same evening for the Golden State, where he ar- rived in September, 18S3. Bad luck seemed to attend the arrival of McDowell at the Valensin farm, for it was only a few months before both Buccaneer and Crown Point died, leaving nothing but young colts to be trained. McDowell, like a great many other drivers at that time, felt that it was beneath the dignity of a firsf class driver to handle youngsters, and resigned his posi- tion, although he states that he never worked for a more pleasant gentleman in his life, and was Borry when he left Va- lensin's employ. In answer to the question"what doyou think about training youngsters now?" Andy laughed and said, "I have changed my notion considerably since 1883, and now feel that the only way to secure good trotters is to start in as early as possible with their education." McDowell bad notleft theValenBin place before a telegram reached him requesting his attendance at the Palace Hotel to meet L. J. Rose and L. H. Titus. Ou arriving in Sin Fran. Cisco and meeting the gentlemen alluded to. an engagement was speedily consummated, it being understood that he was to take Nelueka to Chicago and A'bany, where she was entered in some four-3 ear-old stakes. Before getting ready to leave for the Eiat, Neluska developed "a leg" and it was considered polioy to leave her behind, MoDowell taking in- stead Belle Echo. This well known mare was started in thirteen races, nine of which Bhe won, meeting snch crack trotters as Maud Messenger and Harry Wilkes. After his re- turn from the East McDowell trained a public stable for about two years. The next good horses he had were Adair and Thapsin. During a race at Stockton, Mr. Smith was taken sick and Mc- Dowell was requested to drive Adair, Mr. Smith's instructions being to keep him simply inside the flag, as he felt that there was no chance to win against Buch horses as Manon, Guy Wilkes and Nelly R. McDowell, however, won the first heat in which he drove, the time being 2:19}, the judges making the next heat a dead one between Adair and Guy Wilke* in 2:18j. The race was postponed until the following da\ , but Adair, who was very sore from the fast work of the day pre- vious, could not win, Nelly R. proving the victor. In t ^e following week McDowell drove Adair, winning the first b t in 2:17} it being in this race that Nellie R. broke down. The second heat was also won by Adair in 2:18}, Guy Wilkes winning the next three in 2:19}, 2:24 and 2:18i; it was in the third heat of this race that the driver of Gny Wilkes ran into McDowell's sulky and tore off a wheel, yet stilt the judges gave the beat to Wilkes and fined the driver $100. On October 1st of that same year, McDowell drove Thapsin against Antevolo and Marin, winning the first, second and fourth heals, the best time being 2:23}. Knowing the peculiar reputation which some drivers have, the question was asked McDowell, "Were you ever suspended or heavily fined for work in the Bulky?" The answer was, "I don't know what you mean by work in the sulky ; I was expelled once although I was never taken out of the sulky in my life, and it occurred in that same year on the Bay District Track. Oo the 24tb of October, a race took place between Magdallab, Mayboy, Antevolo and Thap?in. I won the first two heats with Thapsin in 2:22$ and 2;24, but found the horse was almost dead, so I went to Mr. Miller who owned him and requested that another driver be secured, as I was certain the bor6e could not win. I begged of Wilbur Field Smith to take my place behind the black gelding but Mr. Miller would have me drive, so I finished two more heats with him, Magdallab. taking the third and fourth in 2;23A and 2;24$ At my request Havey then took his seat in the sulky, but as I stated Thap- sin could not take another heat, Mayboy winning the fifth and sixth in 2:26} and 2;27£. The race was then post- poned, and on the followirg day Havty driving Thapt-inwon the Beventh and deciding heat, distancing Magdallah in 2;24. After the race the judges announced from the staod that Mc, Dowell was expelled for not tryiDg to win with Thapsin. A meeting was called a few days afterwards at the Palace Ho- tel and the expulsion was chaDged to suspension for twelve months. "I served my time, said Andy, but behind no bars, as I was down at Sunnyalope working for h. J. Rose. As soon as "my time" was served Munroe Salisbury engaged me, and from that time I have been with him.

I feel almost sorry that I have to leave such a good employer as Mr. Salisbury has been to me, but it was simply a ques- tion of salary, Mr. Daly being willing to pay me much more than Mr. Salisbury felt that he could afford. It may also be of interest to your readers to know that a few days ago, in addition to the sum of $200, which I re- ceived from the Cook Stock Farm as a present for getting such a low record for Cricket in behalf of their stallion Steinway, Mr. W. H. Meek, owner of Cricket handed me a check for S500 as a bonus for the low mark which I had given his mare. I feel sorry to think I am going to leave California, having cemented many friendships here, and sin- cerely trust that Ihe day may not be far distant when I may be able to once more pay California another visit and shake all my old friends by the hand."

Nov. 1 TURF AND TRACK The once mighty Dwyer Stable only won $1,735 at the Morris Park fall meeting. Jimmy Rowe is said to have handled the starters flag at Washington with great succesB. Garrison will in future race hiB horses in his own colors which are black jacket, yellow sleeves and cap. Poor old Barnum is still at it. Surely some one should give the game old racehorse his well earned reBt. Last Sunday Goldsmith drove Stamboul a half in 1:03 4-5, and has great hopes next Saturday of lowering his record. Daring the Morris Park meeting Snapper Garrison is said to have run a £10 bill up to ©12,000 by desperate betting. John Splon is greatly pleased with Navidad, and expects the son of Whips to go low down in the. teenB next season. Matt Feakes has been employed to assist John Huggins in training the Ranoocas string, which wilt number about sixty next season. The four leading jockeys according to No. 13 of Goodwin's Official Tuif Guide are Bergen 173, Hamilton 119, TayloT 109 and Barnes 98. It is said that the first kite shaped track ever constructed was built at Weymouth, Mass., in 1S65, and has been in nse ever since. The woold-be record breakers will make their efforts on Saturday next, and also on the 14th and 15th at the Bay District Track. Pete Williams says that Silver Bow will again make a sea- son in the stud at Oakland instead of standing in Montana as was once thought of. A contemporary says the besetting sin of the trotting turf is not pulling races, but pulling heats, or, as the expression goes, "laying up" heats. Mr. C: D. Rose, the wealthy English Canadian, who added £1,000 to three races in England, is importing mares from Australia to England for brood mares. John Davis is busy breaking the Winters' yearlings on the ranch near Sacramento. Several late visitors say that they are an exceptionally good looking lot. Stambuld, three year3, by Stamboul 2:1 H, dam Choice by Dictator, owned by J. R. Graham of Boston, recently showed a trial in Kentucky of 2:301, last half in 1:12*. The Pacific- Coast Blood Horse Association have altered, the date for the closing of entries to the 8th — next Saturday, in order to give Beveral outsiders a chance to return in time. J. A. Goldsmith, in addition to Stamboul and the San Mateo Stock Farm horses, is working Directa for Messrs. Loeber and Heald and Sidney Roy, Mr. Hatch's late pur- chase, Colonel Robert S. Strader has sold to B. F. Kindig of Philadelphia, a pair of Arthurton geldings, dam May Spronl, (grand dam of Regal Wilkes, 2:17V ) by the Moor, for a long price. Charles Reed sustains a severe loss in the death of French Park, who, as a two-year-old was invincible. The son of King Ban and Lou Pike should have made a great name in the stud had he lived. Dunton's Spirit of the Turf in its is3ne of thei23rd has on the outer cover the tabulated pedigree of Stamboul under the heading "The Horse that is likely to go into Winter quarters with the stallion record." Last Jane Mr Apoar, a prominent resident of Calcutta, purchased Bravo, the winner of the MelbourneCup, and took him to India, but shortly after his arrival the horse died, owing, it is said, to the excessive heat. Mr. A. T. Hatch will very shortly move his trotting stock to his new ranch in Tehama county. Jas. Sutherland will go along to manage the ranch, which is admirably situated, having about ten miles of river frontage. Homer P. Saxe, the well known breeder and importer, bad a severe loss a few weeks ago, as his standard bred mare by Grosvenor, dam by Admiral, was injured by Btaking herself and had to be killed. She was in foal to Eros. Byron McClelland has bought from Bradley Brothers, Lexiogton, Ky., for $2,500, the colt Oatcry, a fall brother to Outbound. Oatcry is two years old, has never won a race, and is by Blue EyeB— Etrja, by King Ban. Bradley Bros., Lexington, Ky., have bought of Bashford Manor Stad, Louisville, Ky., the three-year-old bay colt Major Tom by Eolus, dam Scotia. Price, $2,750. Major Tom won three races during the Latonia meeting. The Mnrphy Bale on Tuesday did not draw many purchas- ers, and quite a large proportion of the horses were with- drawn. Billy D., who won a few raceB for Henry Schwartz last year, was offered, but did not elicit a single bid. It is confidently asstrted in the Eastern journals that Bob Stewart, the well known Kansas horseman, will winter in California with his large stable of trotters. If he does he will be BUie of a hearty welcome and will be sure to return again. Electioneers list of 1890 2:30 performers is still further increased by the entrance of Electrician, 2:24|, a six-year old horse by Electioneer, out of Rebecca (dam of Rexford, 2:24, at three years old) by General Benton. This makes twelve Electioneers in the 1890 2:30 list. McDoel. the BensatioDal winner at Lexington last week, was out of a brown mare fifteeu handa high that has done no'.hiog but farm work all her life. McDoel haB a record now of 2:15£, and he, too, was a plow horse for many ytars until his speed was discovered by mere accident. A. Herold, who Is one of oar prominent State treasury 'Hcials, Baya that his three-year-old trotter Dukes Cameo is anxiously sought after since his victory at Glenbrook Park. Only last week he was offered $1,000 for the big, black, Mul- venna colt, who should nest year trot well inside 2:30, The Bay District track is rapidly getting into great Bhape; it has been re-clayed wherever necessaiy, and should now be as fast as any in the State. Red Green Bays it is five seconds faster than Napa sure; and certainly judging from the fast work done on it lately, it must be in good order. Woodford & Backner have lost their thoroughbred 2-year- old colt Bramblebuah by Greenbuah, out of the great Brani- baletta, by Bonnie Scotland. He won two races this season and was Becond in the Lakeview Handicap, three-quarters of a mile, at Chicago. The time made in the race was 1:15}. He was valued at $3,000, and was a very promising colt. Matt Storn yesterday took Lurline back to J.B.Chase's ranch in Sonoma; the four-year-oid daughter of Longfield, and game old Eaty Pease ia in foal to imported Cheviot. Matt will bring baok a couple of yearlings, viz. a filly (Cen- tella) by Joe Hooker out of Katy Pease and a colt (Topgallant) by imported Mariner (Oat Cake) from Lady Clare by Joe Daniels. Before All So, 2 :20| was purchased by M. T. Pooler of Skowhegan, Me., be was bred to several mares with fast rec- ords, including Fanny Witherspoon, 2:16}, and Minnie R., 2:16J. He was foaled in 1884. All So duplicated his record of 2:20} over a half-mile track at Topsham Me., on the 16th inst. John A. Goldsmith ie driving the three year old mare by Sidney out of Blonde by Elmo, on the road. Several times on the circuit Bhe showed her ability to trot way better than 2:30, having gone halves with ease in 1:10, but she was held over until next year, when she should prove dangerous in her class. AmoDg the entries for the English Derby to be run in 1892 are some exceptionally high-priced youngsters. D. Cooper, New South Wales, has five youngsters entered which cost him $40,000; Baron Hirsch has three which were purchased for $50,000, Col. North's five represent §35,000, while Lord Dudley's six cost $45,000. The racing season for 1890 is practically over for the big stables. August Belmont heads the list with a total win- ning of $167,000. John A. Morris is next with $158,000, while Senator Hearst, whose bad luck in previous years was proverbial, closes the season with $119,000. Nearly all the big money in the big stables has been won by one horse. Several horses were withdrawn from the races at Elizabeth under peouliar circumstances, because their owners could not find competent jockeys. Taral, Taylor and Bergen have gone to Washington, leaving behind a miscellaneous assort- ment of "shoemakers." Hamilton rode but seldom. Gar- rison has virtually retired for the season, being content to "beat 'em on the outBide." Ed Corrigan, the owner of the Westside Driving Park, was sentenced by Judge Driggs on the 23rd, to pay a fine of $500 and costs for assaulting F. G. Manning at tne Westside track July 30th. The assault occurred during a raid on the pool sellers. Manning was a spectator, and during the fight was assaulted by Corrigan. He had the latter arrested for as- sault, and the case has -been pending in the courts ever since Col. H. I. Thornton will sell several yearlings at the forth- coming Blood Horse Meeting, among them being two by imported Mariner (Oatcake) and one by Three Cheers. Aus- tralian stallions — Sir Modred and Darebin, have done so well that Mariner's colts should be in demand, while Three Cheers' Bon is out of Rosy by Shannon, from Myrtle by Lodi etc., good enough breeding for anything, and the colt is racy look- ing all over, greatly resembling his Bire. A despatch from Lexington says that Monbars, a black yearling colt by Eagle Bird 2:21, dam Lady Maud 2:18}, by General Knox, has been sold by the Fashion Stud Farm of Trenton, N, J., to Richfield & Leathers, Lexington, for the unprecedented price of $8,500. No yearling trotter ever sold for so much money in Kentucky. A fortnight ago this colt trot- ted two quarters there in the remarkable time of 0;38£ with only eighteen days' training. It is at Morris Park and not at Monmouth where the pro posed trotting meetings are to be held, says a well known Eastern writer. Mr. Nelson, he who attended to the wants of the inner man at Morris Park, is the originator of the idea, and has almost persuaded Mr. Morris to give up four days in August to trotting raceB. Liberal stakes ought to bring out a good class of horses, and the new venture would probably be well supported. It is rumored that the speedy4 year-old gelding Beaury Mc who obtained a four year old record of 2:19$. UaB been sold to Mr. Hobart, the owner of Stamboul, who will use him on the road. He should make a perfect road horse, as he has very pure action, is level headed, and a very easy driver, with plenty of speed. Mr. Williams has two own brothers to Beaury, and also owns his dam, an Alexander mare. John Osborne, the veteran English jookey, has performed a feat that is without parallel. It is juat forty one years ago that he won the Newton Cup on bis father's horse, Pity the Blind, and he steered Mr. Vyner's Aperse to victory in the same race this year. In 1849, old Mr. Osborne presented the Newton Cup to his son, which he still keeps as a family heirloom. In the same year MaBter John won the Liverpool Cup on Bon Mot. During the fall meeting at Morris Park $186,010 was won by the various horses. The ten leading winning owners were Senator G. Bearst. $34,850; J. A. & A. H. Morris, $15,985; J. A. CasBatt, $8,600; A. Belmont, $8,285; D. T. Pulsifier, $8,080; Bashford Manor, $7,250; E. MoElmeel, $6,410; E. Corrigan, $6,085; Santa Anita Stable, $5,820; 8. S. Brown, $5,640. Thirteenth on the list is J.B. Hasgin, $3,845, while two steps lower is the Undine stable. $3,570. W. H. E Smith won $1920, L.J. Rose, $675 and the Maltese VillaStable $200. Major P. P. Johnston, President of the National Trotting Association, has made the following sales of trotters: To C H Chatfifld, New York, the three year old gelding Hard- shell, by Commodore Wilkes-Mollie 0., by Contractor, for $3,000 He has Bhown his new owner a mile in 2:25. To Bowerman Brothers, Lexington, the eleven year old blk m Diana Pateheu, by Mambrino ratchen, dam by Edwin For- rest, and a suckling lilly by her aide by Wilton, 2:191, for $7,000. Andy McDowell left last Tuesday for Montana, and on the same day Millard Sanders arrived in San Francisco, en route for Pleasauton, where he will handle the young Sidneys, be- ing under a three years' engagement to train and drive for the Valensin Stock Farm. Mr. Sanders, who stayed a cou- ple of days in the city prior to going to Pleasanton, was cor- dially welcomed by all the local horsemen, who seemed anx- ious to do everything m their power to make the brilliant driver of the erratic black gelding Guy 2:102, feel at home. The foreign market for trotting stock is gradually enlarg- ing. Dr. George Bierman, Berlin, Germany, last week bought from B. J Treaoy, Lexington, Macey's Hambletonian, a bay stallion, fourteen years old, by Edward Everett, dam Ruth, by RysdykV Hambletonian; the price is said to be $10,000. The doctor will buy several head of fasbiouably bred brood mares for the purpose of establishing a breeding farm for trotters in Germany. He says the American is far superior to the Orloff trotter, and he believes the breeding of Ameri- can trotters in Germany will soon be conducted on a grand Bcale. Mr. C. L. Railey of Versailles sold his fine filly Semper Fidele to Mr. W. R. Letcher, Richmond, the owner of Bill Letcher. Price, $10,000. Semper Fidele is one of the best bred fillies of the year (Longfellow — La Sylphide), and her work for the year shows that blood tells. She has started seven times this year, winning her last Ave races, beating such cracks as RoBeland, Anne Elizabeth, Ida Pickwick, Philora, Tom Rogers, etc. She is by Longfellow, dam La Sylphide by Fellowcraft, granddam Sylph by Glenelg from Squeeze 'em by Lexington. Eastern racing men evidently have formed a great opinion of Racine's form as a race horse, for several prominent own- ers have attempted to lease his racing qualities, but we can authoritively state that T. H. Williams, Esq.. has made all the necessary arrangements, and that Racine will again carry the pretty Undine jacket in the East, and if he meets with average luck, Eastern race-goers will have a still higher opin- ion of the bay son of Bishop, for say what they will, they have never seen his true form, as he was never really right after his sickness . The old-time jockey, George Barbee, is, says the St. Louis Republic, now training the horses of F. F. Burnside, the young Englishman, who went out to Calif ornia, made a little money there, acquired a love of racing, and finally estab- lished himself with some very poor hoises. Fe owns Lord of the Harem and a few others of no account, but wagers his money on them with exceeding regularity. George Barbee is a thorough horseman, and if he had the good fortune to handle two or three animals of speed and staying power he would acquire the reputation which he deserves. Black and Blue says: "Starter Caldwell was not in form on Saturday. His work in the first race was inexcusable. With a flash of his hand he made the bookmakers a gift of all the money invested on Nelly Bly, Bell d'Or and Al Farrow. If Caldwell were not held in such high esteem as an incor- ruptible man, there would be ugly talk of his work in this race. He took no pains to get the horses in shape. He lost no time at the post, but catching Mabel Glenn, Eolo and G. W. Cook well up, gave the starting signal. Nelly Bly's de- feat is explained by the start. G. W. Cook had a good op- portunity to win, but couldn't run." The Dwyers will, on Taesday next, sell all their horses in training except the yearlings, and possibly Longstreet, a colt that Mr. Philip Dwyers is particularly sweet on, as the colt is not mentioned in the list. In the list are Kingston, Han- over, Inspector B., Loog Island, Aurania, Blackburn, Sir John, Houston, Caldwell, Congress, Flathusb, June Day, Kingsbridge, Longford, Bluebird, Baldwin, Baychester, Blacklock, Last King, Our Fellow, WestcheBter, Young George, Mikado, Ada B., Bush Bolt, Envoy, Hannibal, HempBtead, Himlex, Longshore, Blue Dress, Extra Dry, Hard work and Last Chance. The Chicago Horsemen in describing the oil painting (to be presented to the Coney Island Jockey Club by Mr. Bel- mont) of Potomac and Masher in the race for the Futarity, makes a very peculiar comparison between the two riders Hamilton and Bergen. The Horseman says: "Hamilton, in the lead on Potomac, shows in the painting his characteristic seat, with short stirrup and maue. Bergen, on the contrary, sits Masher with the loose, uncertain seat, long stirrup and long hold on the reins which is more of the English fashion. Bergen's heel is held high, his toe being pressed down." How will that suit our English friends, and what is the meaning of short stirrnp and mane? All old time turfmen and a majority of tbe big brigade of race-goers, have been very much pleased to see the success of Mr. E. J. McElmeel with his filly Nellie Bly. ThiB daugh- ter of Stratford and Maumee is very near the top of her olaBB. What is more to the p^int, however, is the fact that she has been instra mental in helping to repiir the muoh shattered fortunes of Mr. McE'meel. Since he owned the famous General Monroe he has had the seveiest ill luck up- oq the turf. The horses that he trained were of no aooount. He could not win at the big tracks or at the little tracks, and it is a decided source of pleasure to see him renovating his fortunes now. An acqnaiotance said to the owner of Granite and Come- to-Taw; *'I think you made a big mistake in not putting up a jockey instead nf that boy Miller. Yon ought to have won with Granite, and might have won with Come to-Taw. Who is Miller anyway?" "Oh, said Mr. Hough, he's a boy I've jnst picked up to try. I think myself Granite buouUI have won. He's good, and you know my horses are always out for the money. I wonld like to get a first-rate jockey." "Why not engage Taral?" "Well, I did try to get bim for next year, and offered him $10,000, but h9 sigued with A. F, Wolcott at $12,000. He's a great jockey, but I don't think any jockey is worth over $10,000 a year." Isaac Murphy, the leading jockey in America, after wasting t 11 he was nigh dead, baa just been suspended because he had taken more lujuor than was good for him, the facts being, as certified by doctors, that before the race he had a couple of milk punches, his strength being almost gone. The milk puuohes, of course, beoame exhausted, and he was unable to make a finish. Our British turf may not be all that it ought to be, but, Bays the Man of the World, let any lover of horse racing try the game in the United States, and he will yearn for the sound of the old pariah church bells. Shade of puir Jamie Snowden! imagine a jockey suspended for having had a drop too much! Extend that rule to owners and baokers and bookmakers and racing reporters, and that in all fair- neBs, and how like a Highland plain after the rinderpest Newmarket would look, punctuated with soratching-postn. 1890 gpxs '|5mte and j^Krrismatu 401 The lady residents of Elizabeth, N. J., have been on the alert for some time past to secure a candidate to match against the old time winner of a prize given to the handsomest male resi- dent of the town . TheWorld says Jerry Dunn waB caught sight of yesterday as he sat on the veranda of his new home on Morris avenue, The femak opponents of the old timer may decide to have a new election before the race meeting ends. George Starr, who last season wintered in Fresno, having in charge Budd Doble's crack stable, arrived in Chicago last week from Lexington, bnoging with him McDoel, Nancy Hanks, Veritas and the runner Father John, of Doble's string. Be also brought along Simmocolon and a young filly for Count Valensin, Pleasanton, as well as three or four others for different parlies. George says that he will leave for California in about a week with some horses, and that he will remain in San Francisco abont a month. W. H. Wilson soli on the 20th, to the Pubst S'ock Farm, Milwaukee, Wis., the black two-year-old filly Simonie by Simmons, dam Lady MoDowell by Sultan; price, $1,500. Al- so, black yearling filly Simonie by Simmons, dam by In- dianapolis, price $1,000. Mr. Wilson offered for another party $15,000 for the black stallion Coralloid, who made a foor-year-old record of 2:19ij at Lexington, bui his owner Chas. Gauntlett, of Milan, Mich., who feels much elated over his great colt, refused the offer and has shipped his colt home . A Melbourne sporting paper, says one of its colonial con- temporaries, has recklessly decided to "chuck away" £250 among those readers who tip the five winners of Caulfield Guineas and Cup, Maribyrnong Plate, V. E. C. Derby, and Melbourne Cup at one pop. There can be no possible in- fringement of any Lottery Act in offering a prize under such conditions. The element of chance doesn't enter into the matter. The odds are illimitable— millions to nothing— that the newspaper can't lose its stake. Last week in Turf & Track it was stated that Mr. Mulkey purchased Maggie K— the dam of Tim Murphy, from Mr. Murphy. Mulkey says, however, that he purchased her from Ivan Humason. Walnut Hills, Marin Co., Oregon. She is by Billy Newell, from Fannie Walker by Nameless, grand dam Baby Dale by Owendale. Tim Murphy was bonght from MeDonongh and J. O'Mack, Dallas. Oregon, for SHOO and Mr. Mulkey says he has refused $2000 for him and had such a high opinion of him that he hunted np his dam and hopes to breed her back to Kvrle Daly. Luke Du Bois went to PleasantoD last Sunday to see his grandly-bred mare Moscova (three-year-old record, 2:28J) by Belmont 64, dam Mo=a by Woodford Mambrino 345, grandam Hermosa by Edwin Forest 49, etc. Mr. Du Bois says she is certainly in foal to Sidney, and when asked whether he thought the foal would be a trotter, answered: •■Trotter! you bet your life. Why, that mare cnld have trotted in about sixteen if that injnn had not blistered all ber legs to pieces, and you never saw a Sidney that wasn't fast. If it is a horse colt I should be afraid to put a price on it." The faithful horse, regarded as an investment, is one of the most precarious animals on earth. Some time ago a New Zealand sport bought an expensive yearling, out of Florence M'Carthy, and just as he begin to congratulate himself on the prospective value of the animal, his purchase fell over a precipice and broke its neck. Then he bought the next yearling out of the same mare, and this costly animal turned a somersault in the paddock and broke its back. After this the specula'or grew tired, and conclude! that the particular family of horses in question was too much given to calisthen- ics to be profitable, so he looked on while his particular enemy purchased the next colt which came into the market, and smiled a cyoical smile as he thought of the consequen- ces. Only the third animal did not break its neck, and last season it started in eleven races and won them all, and now every time, he sees it, the maddened speculator opens his mouth wide, and lets his impressions explode. M. Ephrussi's chestnut fillv Alicante, the winner of the Cambridgeshire, is by the dead sire Hermit from Madiera. She has won three and lost three races in France this year while carrying 103 lbs. She ran a good second to Sheen in the Cesarwiteh. She is described by a well known sporting correspondent as a great banging mare, standing, I should say about 16 hands two inches, let Bhe has not an ounce of lumber about ber: her shoulders are exquisite, and she has the longest arms I ever faw on a horse. She has let down throughout, and thickened greatly over her loins whikt her quarters have expanded and are so well coined with good hard muscle that she presents much greater width to the eve than she did a twelve-month back. Her second thighs are full for a filly; her hocks clean, and her legs and feet seem capable of standing any amount of work. In color she is a whole chestnut, with the exception of a near white hind heel, and she has a switch tail. A back number of Galignani's Messenger says: "An Eng- lish jockey, an American proprietor and a French race horse have been sentenced to banishment from the Bport for the period of two years and a half. The offence was as simple as it was degrading to all concerned. A mare called Roo- dante, which, according to the opinion of those present, in- cluding the qualified stewards of the race meeting, could easily have won a race at Spa, was not allowed to do so. The object presumably was to cheat those people foolish enough to have backed the animal out of their money. Mr. Einstein the owner, is an American who bets largely, and sports as his colors the stars and stripes of his native land, which have now for the first time been disgraced on the Turf Joe Barker, the jockey, is as tine a steeplechase rider as there is in France. That such an incident can occur must be deplored by all worthy of the name of sportsman or gen- tleman, but no sympathy can exist for the promoters of the contemptible conspiracy." Several of the mares to be sold in January at the dispersal of the celebrated Sylvia Park (New Zsaland Stud Co..) f.ale have already foaled among tbem being: Biavca black mare, bred in 13S4; by Black Eagle out of Be=sie, by Angler out of Scraps, by Lord of the Hills out of Ragpicker She has a chestnut colt at her side by Norden- feldt, he by Musket (imp.) out of Onyx, by Angler out of CbrjBolite (imp), by Stockwell out of Juliet, bv Touohstone. Steppe (imp.) (dam of Lady Norah and Russley) black mare" bred in 1868: by Saunterer out of Seclusion, by Tad- mor out of Miss Sellon, by Cowl out of Belle Dame, by Bel- shazzar. She has a colt by Ingomar he by Dncas (son of Stockwell) out of Wild Deer by Bed Hart out of Mary O Toole Onyx (dsm of Sardonyx and Nordenfeldt) brown mare bred in 1872; got by Angler out of Chrysolite, by Stockwell out of Juliet, by Touchstone out of Lancashire Witch, by Tomboy. She has a colt by Ingomar. . 1 During the middle of last week Senator Stanford and Arie Lathrop Esq , drove out to the race track at the Bay District and looked over Palo Alto, Snnol and the rest of the Palo cracks. Senator S auford was highly delighted with the ap- pearance of Sunol who looked as neat and fresh as a trim little school girl. She was driven a half in 1:06 and negotia- ted it so easily that the Senator went away wilh hopeB of her yet spoiling the records. Palo Alto the pride of the ranch waB generally conceded to be in better trim than he has been for Beveral years — as hard as nails and apparently a? sound as a good dollar. On Saturday Marvin gave Sunol her first fast work since she returned and getting her well warmed up drove her a mile out. The first half was easily compassed in l;0Si, and from there home the peerless bay was doing her best and a wonderful best too for she passed under the wire in 2:12 last half 1:03}. How long can Maud S's record Btand if Sonol keeps sound? and there seems no earthly reason why she should not. Palo Alto was given a mile in 2:15j, last half in 1:04J and like his stable companion he did it fearlessly and resolutely. The war by the clergy of Elizabeth, N. J., on the race tracks and bookmakers, which has lagged for some months, was renewed with more vigor than ever last week. Circulars were read in all the Protestant ohurches warning the people that another attempt was to be made at the next session of the Legislature to pass a bill legalizing gambling at race tracks, and appealing to them to defeat at the polls aiy can- didate for the Senate or Assembly who would not pledge him- self beforehand to vote agaiost such a measure. The petition is addressed "To the Moral and Religions People of the State of New Jersey," and after denouncing the race tracks, goes on to say that success in passing the iniquitous measure means that New Jersey will sacrifice the moral interests of her citizens and surrender her deserved fame for justice in rebuking wrong. Attached to the appeal are the names of Bishop Scarbor- ough of the Episcopal Church, Prof. McCosh of Princeton, President Doolittle of Rutgers, Prof. Upham of Drew Semin- ary, Prof. Demarest of New Brunswick Theological Semin- aryj and 120 other clergymen, pastors of churches of various denominations throughout the State. The Rev. Dr. Kemp- shall and the Rev. Dr. Glazebrook preached little sermons to-day against the race track and the bookmakers. The New Jersey Jockey Club on the 19th paid $3,000 for one year's tax on the property there to the City Treasurer. The Battle property formerly paid only $116 taxes to the city. On the return of Patrol's jockey to weigh in after that horse had won the All aged Maiden Plate at Litchfield, Eng , a short while back, he could not draw the weight, even with the addition of the bridle. The same deficiency in weight, was found to be the case with the other jockeys who rode in the race. The acting stewards of the meeting, Mr. George Graham and Mr. Bernard Gilpin, were summoned, and an inspection of the scales was then made, when it was found that some miscreant had attached a piece of lead to the weight Bide of the scales. When this was removed each of the jockeys brought down the beam, and thns what might have proved a disagreeable incident was avoided. Ibis will call to mind the Cambridgeshire won by Catch'em Alive in 1S63, when a somewhat similar case occurred. Upon the jockeys returning to weigh in after tbat race the clerk of the scales found that the rider of Catch'em Alive did not draw the proper weight. He was first weighed without a whip, and a whip was afterwards given to him, which was stated to be the one he rode with. This barely made him weight, and the owner of the second horse objected to the jockey being weighed with anything given to him after he got into the scales. The clerk of the scales requested the stewards to come into the weighing room, and they decided that a jockey not having brought his whip with him into the scale coold not afterwards weigh with it, and it plainly appeared that the jockey did not draw the weight. The rider of Merry Heart had been previously weighed, and passed by the clerk of the scales, and the stewards were on the point of giving the race in his favor when the rider of Summersida was weighed, and he also waB found 6hort of weight. On this the Stewards directed the scales to be examined, when it was found that they were not correct, and that some lead had been fastened on the bottom of the weight scale. When this was removed and the scales adjusted, the stewards felt satisfied that the rider of Catch'em Alive would have drawn his proper weight if the scales had been true, and the clerk of the scales, on being questioned, having assured them that he had no doubt on the subject, the stewards declared that Catch'em Alive was the winner of the race. A reward of £50 was afterwards otfdred by the Jockey Club for such informa- tion as should lead to the discovery ot the person or persons who had fastened the lead to the Bcales. It is to be sincerely hoped that the miscreant will be speedily caught and brought to condign punishment, but at the same time it looks as though there must have been very reprehensible carelessness amongst the officials of the weighing room to have rendered such a scoundrelly action possible. It is net easy to approach the supreme head of the American turf. When King Salvator was in his Eastern stable, casual visitors were expected to pay their respects from a respectful distance. Without proper creden ials, callers were regarded with suspicion. The monarch's most immediate attendant was a colored boy named Brandon. There isn't a stable lad in America who wouldn't give up all claims upon watermelons for the balance of his life if he could have the honor which Brandon enjoys, and this, it will be conceded, is s lying a good deil. When the Haggin horses wereiout for an airing the king was invariable at the head of the procession. The fitness of things finds further illustration in the fact that next in line came the queen of the track, Firenzl. whose claims to royal honors have been vindicated on so many hard fought fields. Successes have not turned the head of Salvator; greatness sils as easily upon him as his exercise blanket. A more tractable animal was never foaled. His royal highness is a chestnut, bald-faced, and white-legged below the knees. He is a handsome horse, but not remarkably so. To see Salvator in his stable and to see him under a jockey is to look at two different quadrupeds. When he is being exercised at a slow walk his head is carried low and his motions give little promise of his possibilities; when he is fighting for his head and leaving his field behind, his stride, long, easy, smooth and natural, iB perhaps as pure a gait as ever adorned the turf. For entertaining the opinion that, take him all in all, we shall see Salvator's like no more, Trainer Matthew Byrnes may readily be pardoned. The emotional life of the horse is remarkable, Bays the Newark Sunday Call, in that it seems to undergo a trans- formation in the hands of the horse-tamer. Instances are given of the wild horses of the prairies being completely tamed in a few houis by subjecting them to cerlain methods of breaking Anothfr curious emotional feature which has come under the observation of all who have had experience with horses, is the liability ot all the other mental faonlties of the animal to become abandoned to that of terror, and ac- cording to Dr Romanes, the horse is the only animal which, under the influence of fear, loses the possession of every other sense in one mad and mastering desire to run. ior Its other emotions the horse is an affectionate animal, pleased at being petted, and exhibits considerable pride It is related by General Sir Robert R. Gillispie that he was present on the race course at Calcutta during one of ihe great Hindoo festivals, when several hundred thousand peo- nl, were assembled to witness all kinds of shows. Sudden- ly he was startled by the shrieks of the crowd, and was in- formed tbat a man-eating tiger had escaped from hie keeper. Sir Robert immediatelv called for bis horse, and grasping a boar spear from the hands of one of the orowd, rose to at- tack the formidable enemy. The tiger, when he saw bir Robert crouched and prepared to spring at him, and at teat instant the gallant soldier leaped his horse oyer the tigers lack and stuck his s; ear through his spine. Had there been any lack of courage or show of indecision on the part of the rider the horse wonl • never have made the leap, and both would doubtless have b en torn in pieces It is further re- lated that when the brave Sir Robert fell at the , storming of Kalnuga, his favorite black charger, bred at the Cape of Good Hope and carried by him to Iod.a, was, at the Bale of his ef- fects competed for by several officers of the division, and final y knocked down to the privates of the Eighth Dragoons L_ r__i-;^„i«j n,«ir nri-/o mnnev to the amount ot £5UU of their late com Bterling, to retain this commemoration manner Thus the charger was always led at the head of the regiment on the march, and at the station of Cawnpore was indulged with taking his accustomed station at the color- stand where the salnte of passing squadrons was given at drill and on reviews. When the regiment was ordered home the funds of the privates running low, he was bought for the same sum by a party who provided food and a paddock for hiS whTre he might end his days in comfort: but»hen the cJp's tad marched, and the sound of trumpet han departed, he refused to eat, and on the first opportunity being led out t excise, be broke from his groom, and gal oping to h.s ancient station on the parade, after neighing aloud, dropped aown and died. Man, other instances could be given which show the sagacity and oourage of the high bred horse. A recent visitor to Nantura, F. B. Harper's grand old Kentucky homestead, says, in a wonderfully descriptive arti- cle in the Times-Democrat, that, looking through the little rifts in the foliage that resemble little leaf-bordered windows, some of which frame in interesting pictures from Nantnra: "In the direction of the barns was one peculiarly effective. Closed in by a border of trembling leaves, so as to almost conceal its surroundings, was seen a long, slender, brown head, with a narrow blaze extending down to the nose. The ears are fine and thin, and pricked sharply forward, the eyes are big and bright and full of fire, while the delicate, wide open nostril speak unmistakably of a patrician ancestry. There were only the face and head to be seen, for close around it hung tbat border of trembliog leaves, making it look like a niedalion portrait surrounded by a laurel wreath, but had that face been seen in Hong Kong instead of Nantn- ra, no horseman could have believed that it was other than Longfellow. Through another of these little foliage-bordered windows could be seen a handsome monument of white mar- ble, which bears the following inscription: TEN BROECK, Bay Horse. Foaled od Nantura Stock Farm. Woodford Coumy, Ky., Jane 29. 1812, Dl«d June 28. 1887.

Though his long career on the turf and in the stud has left its traces in his outline and general make up he is still a splendid looking horse. Altogether he is probably one of "the rangiest thoroughbreds ever prominent on the American turf. He is a rich brown with a narrow blaze. He has a long, lean head, beautifully shaped and (nil of high quality in every poiot. His neck is very long, highly arched and muscular, but by no means massive or clumsy. He is very deep through the heart, his chest is broad and full, and bis shoulders rangy and oblique. His body has great length, and though his back is considerably swayed, as might be expected, the admirable cylindrical form of his barrel is still admirably preserved. His back is possibly a shade too long, and his loin is not (jritg as good as the rest of hie make-up. though this is partially attributable to the fact tbat his back has been considerably swayed by his many years of stud s> rvice. Back of the loin it woold be hard to find a tanlt with Lougftllow. He has the rangy and shapely quarters and the long high croup of the Leaminglons, beau- tiful and massive stifles, strong clean hocks set close to the ground, short cannon bones and long elastic pasterns. De- spite his age hia limbs between the knee and fetlock are broad, clean and flat as a knife blade; and, in short, he is a beautiful race horse, of immense size and range and excep- tionally high quality. His pedigree is as follows: Longfellow, brown hor*e foaled 1SC7, bred by Mr. John Harper. By imported Leamington. First dam Nantura by Brawner's Eclipse. Second dam Quiz by liertrand. Third dam Lady Fortune by Brimmer." Fourth dam Woodpecker's dam by imp. Buz/.ard. Fifth dam The Faun by Craig's Alfred, etc. Some conteod that this Brimmer was a quarter horse, or at all events an animal of obscure breeding, while others are of the opinion that Lady Fortune's sire was a thoroughbred horse called Bluebeard. As Longfellow himself was a thor- oughly first class race horse in every respect, and as Nau- tura also threw such good ones as Fanny Holtnn (the dam of Ten Broeck) by Lexington and Extra by Endor-er, it is hard to believe tbat her grand dam was by a cold-blooded quarter horse. Extra, however, never sired a foal that de- veloped into anything resembling a race horse. Fanny Holton, besides Ten Broeck, produced Lyttleton, a horse tbat showed exceptionably high racing form, to in Leamington.

SACRAMENTO vs STOCKTON. Saturday, Oct. 25th, 1890, at Sacramento. Harper pitched his third consecutive game against Stock- ton last Saturday and had things much his own way, the Stocktons being unable to b'nd his delivery with any degree of safety. Bowman caught him magnificently and threw effectively to bases. The infield showed a change, Daley being placed at second and Keitz at short, which change will undoubtedly prove a]good one,it being favorable to Daly whose throwing wa3 inaccurate from short field. Roberta was sick and Hoffman played left making a beautiful throw in the sixth inning, which nailed his man at the plate. At the bat Goodenough, McHale, Wilson and Armstrong did the beBt service.

Sunday, Oct, 26th, 1S90, at San Francisco. This game at the Haight St. grounds was a disappointment in many ways to the ten thousands persons assembled. It was expected that Borchers, who was in the box for the Senators, would excel all previous efforts, as he came back from the Northwest league with a splendid record. But his work in this game was the most miserable ever seen this season. It seemed utterly impossible for the big pitcher lo get the ball over the p'ate, as in the part of two innings he pitchad, he sent five men to bases on balls, hit two others, made two wild pitches and an error, and altogether permit- ting seven runs. Harper was then substituted and did good work, but the game was irretrievably lost for the Senators. In the third inning, however, they developed a terrific bat- ting streak, banging Coughlin's curves aro'ind most pro- miscuously. Bowman led off with a smashing home run over the left field fence. Stapleton followed with a triple to the club house. McHale pushed a corking single to left and Reitz rapped out one over the right field on which he only got two bases, as the bail striking the sheds bounded back again. This, to- gether with Daley's long triple in the first inning clearing the bases, was almost the extent of their hitting. Looka- baugh was substituted f*>r Coughlin with fourth, and like Harper did splendid service for the ^remainder of the game. As Speer and Stevens were both incapacitated from catching, Jimmy Ward, late of the Tdcomas and Sacramentos, was secured. His back Btop work was good, but his hitting as usual was weak. Tom Powers, the great Frisco favorite and who lately returned from Baltimore, umpired satisfactorily. The score: S»nFrahcisco.

There was a larger crowd than usud at the Stookton grounds last Sunday, who witnessed a fairly good game. The Gas towns fielded in good shape, but the Colonels hit Kilroy heavily at the right time, their three triples being a powerful factor in their victory. Carsey pitched winning ball all through. Dangan's triple in the fir=t iuniDg scored Sweeney, and his duplicate shot second inning sent three men over the plate. In the sixth Cantillion lined out a triple, scoring two runs. The fielding of Sweeney and Fogarty and the catching of Lobnian and Armstrong were features of the game. Sweeney's errors were on the wide thrown balls from deep center to third, allowing runs to be scored. The score: Seloa, lb 3 Hulliday c f .A U i.. ii Lb, in. s a..

In this game the players seemed totally devoid of"ginger," both teams being weak at the bat, and evening up ten miser- able and costly errors between them. The pitchers, Look- abangh and Carsey. did not appear to good advantage, either being wild and ineffective. "Kid" Carsey's tremendous home run drive to the club house, and Levy's catch of a difficult fonl were the only features of the contest. Charley Gagus ompirad very satisfactorily. Each team made one in the first. Haniey forced Everett at second on his hit to Carsey. and then stole second coming home on Lohman's wild throw which Sweeney allowed to pass him . For Oakland, Sweeney's base on balls, his steal and Levy's muff' at Dooley's fly gave them a tally. They scored another in the second on O'Neill's base on balls, his steal and Car- sey's safely tj right. The Friscos ted the soore in the fourth. Stevens hit safely to center, making second on Sweeney's error. Isaacson took first on ball:?, Levy ditto, ani Everett bning hit by a pitched ball forced Stevens home. The Colonels added three in the fif 'b. Carsey led off with a beautiful home run. Sweeney hit to Shea and was Fafe on Iaaacson's error. On Shea's error of Dungan's hit Sweeney made third and scored on a passed ball. Dungan followed Sweeney round the third, Djoley's sacrifice fly out scoring him, They made one more in the seventh. Sweeney was bit by a pitched ball and stole second scoring on Dooley's corking safe Bhot to left field. The score: San Francisco. Everett, s b .

The pflBt weeks' games has wrought no change in the positions of the teams, although there have been slight fluc- tuations in the percentages. Oakland now occupies a closer position to the 'Friscos, and Sacramento is keeping her pace steadily. Stocktons have dropped slightly, but occasionally take a game fiom the bay (earns. -(to October 30th, inclusive). the record :- Cltjbs. Oakland Sacramento .. . San Francisco .

Everett in trying to knock the cover off the ball hag been struck out quite often recently. The rumor that Veach and Whitehead were to play with the Vallejo team proved to be false, It is reported that the improvements on the Seattle gruunds cost something over $5,000. McDonald leads in the vote contest with Robe Levy sec- ond. Tip O'Neill is now lost to sight. Joe Cantillion will be stationed in right field nest season, a position he is said to play brilliantly. Willie Lange, whose work behind the bat took Port Town- send by storm, is back again in this city. Pitcher Werhle of last season's Oaklands, is trying to re- cover $250 due him from the Wilmington team. San Francisco is the winter Mecca for bill players, of whom are now turning their steps westward. If the league intends playing their postponed games, would be well to start in now while the weather is fine. The week day games at Haight St. are now being called at half past two and the Friday games at Oakland, at three. Cbariie Gagus and Pete Meegan have been temporarily appointed to umpire. Vice Sweeney and Donohue resigned. "Will Carsey's home rnn hit to (he clobhouBemThursday's game waB one of the prettieBt hits ever secured on the grounds. A.G.Spalding, who lately returned from England sajs that base ball is very popular in the "tight little isle" and that its snecess is assured. The players of the Spokane team are all mourning their last month's Balaries which the management held out pre- sumably to even up losses. Pitcher Dnke of the Minneapolis team accomplished the wonderful feat of retiring eleven successive batsmen on strikes in one game this season. McCarthy, Frisco's twirler says his arm is perfectly strong to pitch, but the rLenmatism has now affected his legs so that he cannot move with any freedom. Although the San Franciscos and Oaklands have been put- ting up Class A ball for the monih of October, neither team played an errorless game in that interval. In the throwing contest of the players of the N r hWest League, which was participated in by Mills, Golga , Hus- ton, Peeples, Turner and Cahill, Turner, of the Spukanes, won easily, his last and best throw being 355 feet 9 inches. Harry Yaugh, of tbs New York (Players' League) teau>, holds the record, which is 134 yards 4 ioches. John Patrick Cahill was more than lining the ball out in the last few games with the Portland team. White Wings is quite a "kidder, " and when he talks its at a Sulvator pace. He used to goy the life out of the pitchers op north, saying "Pat them up the aisle and see them flout away."

Speaking of the Yallejo — Santa Rosa game of last Sunday, the Vallejo Chronicle says this of Steady Pete Meegan. now umpiring for the Amattnr League: "Pete Meegau um- pired the game in a steady, sensible, and just manner. Mr. Meegan considers the umpire's position as an e.*sy one to fill. He Bays that all one has to do is to be fair, firm and honest, and umpiring is no trouble at all. He is strictly business and has created a good impression on the Vallejo people." Out of 48,692 guessers in the Philadelphia Press as to the winners of the Players' League championship, only 2S06 chose Boston; 22,726 selected Chicago, 12.308 New York, 5,019 Philadelphia and 4.121 Brooklyn. Pittsburg was the favorite choice for tail-ender, Cleveland second. New York was the favorite for the League championship, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston closely bunched, and Pittsburg had the call for the last place. In the Association, but 741 out of 48,692 named Louisville for the championship, the Colom- buB, Athletic and St. Louis Clubs being warm favorites. The change of the San Francisco's batting order has not been prolific of any beneficial results. Everett is not a good man to lead off, as he is essentially a hard hit- ter and can't bunt, so that if he don't hit the ball he frequently strikes oot. Shea was a "teaser," and his ohancea for getting the initial in the first inning either by bunting or on balls were always good. With reliable bitters following him a run or so in the first inning was generally likely and this in itself often wins a game. Finn would do well to return to his old batting order. Lou Hardie ib the latest base ball arrival from the EaBt. Those returned within the past fortnight are Powers, Swett, Long, Sheridan, Carroll, O'Day and Hardie. .567 .554 .570 .308 The Friscos have had more players on first base position this feason than all the other teams combined. They were Sweeney, Veach, Perrier, Stevens, Ebright, Stanley and Isaacson. Haniey baa been making some of the most phenomenal catches in center lately. If "Blockers" gets his arm again, there's none will have any license to go above nim in class A of center fielders. Jerry Hurley, who caught but eight gemes for Pittsburg this Beason lanked fifteenth among twenty three catchers with a tieldiDg average of 903. In batting bis average was 273 and rank fortieth of ninety rive batsman Qoite a stir has been created in base ball circles by the doutle umpire resignation which occurred last week. On Sunday, just previous to the game, Charley Sweeney ten- dered Piesident Mone his resignation, and on Wednesday Jack Donohue quietly followed the same plan. Sweeney resigned principally on account of politic?, as to bring his fight for the assembly to a successlul issue requires all his time and attention. Donohue's reasons are of a different character. Jack felt that he has been badly treated by a cer- tain manager for some time past, and "the straw that broke the camel's back" was when he was unjustly charged with being drunk in the Oakland— Sacramento game of the 18th inst. Who will succeed them is not yet known, but it is quite poseitle that Sheridan will be secured for the remain- der of the season. Summary. San Francisco Oakland Sacramento. . .

The following was the standing of the teams of the Pacno North West League at the termination of the season. Spo- kane first with .642 as percentage of victories; Tacoma second with .568; Seattle third, .510; and Portland last, winning but 25 of 92 gameB, a percentage of .271. While Cantillion, O'Neill, Ebright and other players are being "raked over the coals" for "actions unbecoming a gentleman on the ball field," Bed Armstrong, the "rojal Bengal tiger" of the Stocktons Bhonld not be overlooked. This player has, on Beverai occasioes, used the most insult- ing language to both bi3 own players and those of the oppos- ing teams, a fair sample of which occurred at the Haight St. grounds Oct. 5tb. It was in the fifth inning when Armstrong and Fogarty were on the third and first baBe coachicg lines, respectively and Pache bad reached first. Fogarty ttarted him off so that he safely made second, and while playing off that bag, Levy of the Friscos ran up behind Pache, nearly catching him napping. Although it waB Arm- strong's place bs much as Fogarty 's to watch their base runner, the windy man from Stockton exploded in this fashion: "Say Fogarty, are you trying to work the grand Htand over there? You'll never do it with that face though. If I fineyou"ten" it will change it pretty quick and then you might be able to catch on. See!" In the first ten batters, Oakland has four— Dungan, Dooley, Lohman and Dan Sweenev; Sao Francisco four, Ebright, Everett, Haniey and Shea; Sacramento one. Good- enough, and Stockton's only heavy bitter within the charmed cjrcle— Cahill, has long Bince been released. Some "fan" who knew of Dnnean's inordinate love for flashy jewelry, plnyed a good joke on the big right fielder in a recent game. When "Danny" stepped to the plate in the first inning, umpire Sweeney advanced and presented him with a little blue box daintilv tied np with pink rtbhons, Bnd to which wa<* attached a neatly inscribed card bearing com- plimentsof theunknown sender. "Dnnoy"amiled modt grate- fully lo the grand stand, doffed his cap, and in order to Bee the more quickly just what that little jewelry bos contained, struck ont. The players gathered around him as he care- fully untied the supposed precious token, and then there was one face in the team that looked savage enough to wipe the earth with somebody if that mTBcbievoua individual oonld be fonnd, for imbedded in the velvet lining of the bos was a villainous looking prize-bos ring— a big, yellow piece ot glassina gaudy braBs setting, and of soch a counterfeit qu ity that even Oofty Goofty would blush lo Gffer it lor Eale a "hay Beed" for a rickle. 406 3?tue Ipt'jccte ami JSporiswau.

Sunday, Oct. 26th, 1S90, at Vallejo- The Santa Rosa went down to Vallejo last Sunday and by superior hitting won a most decisive game from the Marines. There was an immense assemblage of Valltjo people present which was slightly augmented by a hundred or bo Santa Kosa constituents. Pete Meegen umpired most satisfactorily. Blondie Callen of Santa Rosa was in fine fettle and pitched out a splendid game, being touched up for only three hits and giving but a single base on balls. He was well supported at the receiving end by Pace. Baltz did not pitch his best tjan,e being hit for nine safe shots. He was steady however, sending three men to first base on balls and retiring eight on Btrikes. His support Ironi the receiving end and infield was good but error3 of the outfielders in the sixth inning, together with the Sonoma boys safe hittii g lost the game for the home team. The Santa Rosas cinched the game in the ninth mak- ing two runs and winning amid great excitement. Pace and Callen each had two hits; Wise got in a three bagger and Reilly sent out at timely two base shot. Gimmel carried off the fielding honors making some marvellous plays and Mc- Carthy did clever work in center. Scooney played a finished game of the initial, and MoGuire, Hughes and Murdock of the Vallejos infield, did strong and efficient work in their respective positions. This game makes the pennant almost a certainty for Santa Rosa.

The Aliens did some heavy batting in the second and fourth innings of this game, which gave them another vic- tory. Both pitchers, Rohan and Wa'cott, were hit freely, nine safe shots being gained off "his scissors," and ten, in- cluding threeloograps. off Walcott. Rohan was somewhat han- dicapped in his catcher, Wilds, who had a decidedly off dav. On the other band, Billy Billings caught Walcott in splendid shape. The fielding of both teams was only fair, and the majority of ihe errors made were at the difficult corner. Buckley led at the bat, having three hits, one of which was a triple. Cooney, Callihan, Rohan and Kelly also did heavy work with the stick. Kelly and Geishaker made some pretty catches in the outfield and this, with the first base play of Jiockl- y and Traynor, constituted the fielding features.

SCORE BY INNINGS. 12346 0 789 Umpire McLaughlin ib still iD this city. Leland was in center for the Sports last Sunday. Dick Nagle and Jimmy English form a Btrong battery for Merced. Batchelder, the pitcher and ont fielder has been released by the Bnrlingtons. Gimmel and McCarthy played a bang up fielding game for Santa R)sa Sunday. Traynor, the big first baseman of the Bnrlingtons has the reputation of being a terrific hitter. When Al Scooney appears on the principal streets in Santa Kosa, every body whistles "Dar's a new dude in town." To-morrow will be another big day in Santa Rosa, and the Vallejos will bring np their Marine band with them again. Billy Kennedy found it impossible to play last Sunday with the Aliens, as his ankle was too weak to stand the strain. A semi professional league is contemplated for next season which may inolude Santa Bosa, Vallejo, Snisun and possi- bly Martinez. Elmer Smith won twenty-one of thirty games he pitched for Kansas City this season, which gives him a percentage of victories of .700. Second basemen mnst surely be a "drug on the market" in amateur circles when such players as Dave Creamer and Aleck Bridley remain unsigned. The Amateurs will finish the race in about this line — Santa Kosa first, Vallejo second, Will and Fincks third, Rt ports fourth, Burlingtons fifth and Aliens sixth. Jerry Denny is probably the greatest disappointment of the season, having only a batting average of .212, 25 sacrifice hits and 12 stolen bases and a fielding average of .888. Callen was suffering from a badly sprained side last week but he came to this city and spent a few hours in the Ham- man bath which put him in excellent condition. As a result, he pitched the game of hiB life. Horace Wilds lost a valuable diamond pin at the Haigbt St. Grounds shortly before the game Sunday, which so wor- ried the big brawny back stop, that he did not catch his usual game, having five passed balls. It was iiuite evident from Billy Cooney's p'aying at third base for the Aliens Sunday, that he is no longer fitted to fill the bill at the difficult corner. Billy's position is in the out field where he has few superiors in the business. It is said that catcher Pace is not very popular with the Sanla Kosa players; but be this as it may, he IB an earnest, hard worker, both with and behind (he bat, and the team owes much of its success to his clever performances. Mart Devine, the blight and clever Sacramento correspon- dent for the Breeder and Sportsman was the president of the California Amateur League in '86. There are still many players scattered throughout the different teams in the State who played under Devines management at the Alameda, Cen- tral Park and Sacramento grounda. Reserved Players.

EDITED BY ABPHIPPns, SUMMARY. Tbe first invitation tield day of the Olympic Club, which was held on last Saturday afternoon, was a Bplendid success and the OlympiauB will have do cause to be nervous in fa- tare about the welfare of their new out-door grounds. A genuine athletic fever is raging in our midst at the present time and California is fast becoming one of the most athletic States in the Union. The field a'hletes, the oarsmen, the cyclers, and in fact the entire sporting fraternity are taking advantage of the splendid weather and are preparing them- selves for comiDg events. THE "WHEELMEN. Fresno, Cal., at the present time has sis lady riders. The Palm Leaf Wheelmen of Fresno, Ca'., are a very pros- pering lot of young riders. The following are the officers of the clot': L C Chittenden, Pres; C H Tripp, Vice-Pres; A C BaDta, Captain; O G Treat, First Lieutenant; "W W Stocker, Sec'y-Treasurer. Some of the Fresno boys will probably vist this city before long and taka part in some of the races which are certain to be held before the year is out. The man who handicapped the one mile safety race in con- Deotion with the Olympic Clnb games on Saturday last upod very poor judgment when he allowed Tamer of the B C W a handicap of 175 yards over Morris and Harris, the Welsh bicycle men. Tbe ridicaloui ease with which Turner won spaaks for itself, and the handicapper should be removed from his position. Whether he meant to favor the B C man or whether he is incompetent is all the same; he Bhonld be prevented from bringing any further d sgrace on the Cali- fornia Division LAW. 3 The Olympic track is hardly suitable for record breaking, but still some good time can be accomplished on it. Ed. Bradford of the Alameda Bicycle Club and a young friend rode to San Jose last Saturday. They report the roads in very good condition. Will Hebbard and Charley Culver of the fame club took a ride over to San Leandro on 8unday evening. There must be some special attraction in tthat direction for these two young riders for they disappear over the San Leandro road quite otten in each others company. The Bay City Wheelmen have moved their quarters to 234 Van Ness Avenue. They will occupy the new rooms for the winter after which they expect to be able to move into their new club house. It is very doubtful, owing to the popular- ity of base ball, if the club will be able to secure the Haight St. grounds for Thanksgiving Day. They will try and hold a tournament any way on that day and a committee is now looking out for a suitable place to hold the meeting at. There is considerable growling among the wheelmen re. garding the three bicycle events which were included in the last games programme of the Olympic Clab. The Olympic men it is reported intended that the thrte races should be open, bnt strange to say that only four riders knew of this fact. Severdl of the boys would have entered had they been permitted and there would have been no necessity to have turned two of the races into "special exhibitions" because of the lack of entries. The wheelmen should not f;iil to remember the L. A. W. meet which will be held in the Odd Fellows Building this evening. The run which will be held to-morrow morning will be largely attended and all the clubs will be well repre- sented. The start will be made from Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues at 10 o'clock. Fred Whifp, Bert Brummell and Frank Howlett of the Alameda Bicycle Club visited the Golden Gate Park on Sun- day. They rode around the Cliff House and back. Last Saturday night three of the Alameda boys, the Fopter brothers aod Fred Boyle rode to San Jose and returned on Sunday by way of Redwood City. They were pleased at the condition of the roads which they reported to be in tine shape. UNIVERSITY JOTTINGS. Royer McGee, the young man who so gallantly saved the life of the woman who jumped overboard from one of the Oakland boats a few evenings ago: is a brother of W. MeGee, the University sprinter. The U. C tug of war team which will pull at the next "ladie's night" exhibition of She Olympic Club will be com- posed of Hunt, Roberts, Marrow and Bouse. They;have been challenged by the Olympic Club tug of war team. The "Occident" says that there is a lack of long distance runners at ihe present time in the University. The stadents are determined to be on top on next Decora- tion Day. The championship team will be augmented by several new men from amongst tbe freshmen. The non athletic stadents will encourage the athletes as far as lays in their power, and tbe team will be in much better condit- ion next year then it was last May. The members of the foot ball team are very busy at the preaent time, and will soon be in condition to meet any other team on the Pacific Coast. THE GAME OF CRICKET. To-morrow forenoon the Alameda and Buroaby clubs will play a match game at the West End grounds. The members of the Pacific Clab are very much out of practice, and for the present they should play amongst them- selves. It looks very bad for a well conditioned team to be pitied against a lot of men who seldom take a bat in their hands. Cricket matches should be like base ball, close an^ excitiDg, and if the public is to be constantly obliged to wit- ness such uneven games, it will soon giow tired of the past- lime entirely. The caDtains of the different clubs should bear this fact in mind, and in future try and arrange more even matches. To show how sadly in need of practice the Pacific Club men are we give the score of last Saturday's game. pacific c. c. 0. E. Howell c Johnstone b Newton 6 D. Keitb c Dodd b Newton * W.

On Tuesday evening last the first annual meeting of the Alameda Cricket Club was held at the residence of Captain W. Rogers on Santa Clara avenue, Alameda. The following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing term: Captain W. Kogers, President; J. M. Robertson, vice-President: Wm, Robertson, Secretary; John D. Neild, Treasurer. The club was found to he in a very prosperous condition, and as all the members are food of practice, the other clubs will find it a very difficult job to produce an eleven that can defeat the Alamedas. The musical and social re-union given by the Alameda Cricket Club ia Harmonie Hall, Alameda, on Thursday even- ing of last week, was a financial as well as a literary success. The hall was crowded, and the different members on tbe programme were warmly applauded. After the literary pro- gramme was disposed of, dancing began, and it was nearly three o'clock on Friday morning when the guests turned their footsteps homeward after having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The committee in charge of the affair deserve great credit for their good work in having everything carved out in such good oider. Mr. John D. Neild, who acted as Mister of Ceremonies, tilled his position in a very able man- ner. The following programme was given: 1. Overture, orchestra. 2. Song, Thursday (Molloy), Mr. J. E. Bland. 3 Violin 6olo. Der Sohn der Haide Keller-bela, Master Leo Kowalski. 4. Song, Dear Heait (Matter), Mrs. John T. Grey, nee Alice Waltz (late of New York). 5. Ballad, The Maid of the Mill (Adams), Mr. Ben Clark. 6 Bong, selected, Mr. Thos. Bolton. 7. Song, selected, Miss E. Stiefvater. 8. Mandolin quartette, the Messrs, Dittmars, Goggin and Jones. 9. Song, selected, Mrs. John T. Grey, nee Alice Waltz. 10. Violin solo, Les Melodies des Alpes, R Schener, Master Leo. Kowalski. 11. Song, selected, M-. Sanford B nnett. 12. Comic Song, The ParBon and the Clerk, Mr. E. Sloman. The committees were composed of — Arragements: Captain W. W. Rogers, J. D. Neild, J. M. Robertson and W. Robert- son. Reception: T. J. Barbour, E. Hood, J. D. Neild. W. Winter, F. W. Spairs and H. Boyd. Floor manager: J D. Neild. AT THE OARS. A meeting of the South End Rowing Club was held in Jus- tice Murasky's court room on Tuesday evening last. Five new members were elected. The club now has a member- ship of 75. A meeting of the Alameda Tennis Club was held at the club rooms Jast evening for the purpose of organizing a boat club in connection with that organization. The following committee have been appointed to see into the matter: Geo. E. Plummer, G. T. Wright, A. Dalton Harrison. The pro- babilities are that a new boat house will be built somewhere at the south end. The Alameda Rowing Club has issued invitations for its house warming which will take place this evening at the boat house foot of Grand street, Alameda. The members of the associate clubs of the Pacific Rowing Association, have all been invited to attend. The following crew of the Alpine Club would like to con- test with a crew from the Lurline Club for a small trophy and Thanksgiving dinner on that day: H. O. Farrell, bow; Henry Tank, No 2; A. M. King, No. 3; J. J. Larkey, stroke. Last Sunday the Pioneer Clob was well represented on the bay. The famous four oared shell crew were out, and all the club barges and single scullers were removed from their resting places by members who felt like practicing. We have been given private information regarding a new professional crew which will shortly branch out under the auspices of the South End Club. A couple of the men are new arrivals on the Pacific Coast, and it is said by persons who are well acquainted with the crew, that it will be one of the best ever put together in Sin Francisco before. We have been asked to withhold the names for the present. The Ariel club members seeing no prospect of their having to contest in any more races this year, are now devoting their time to fishing and hunting. The following crew were out for a row on Sunday to Harber View; Lewis F. Nunan, stroke; Charles Pless, bow;D. Battean, No. 2; Edward Fin- ley No. 3. Eugene Flanders managed to bring them back to their boat house safely, and be hinted that the regular ama- teur crtw would not be in it in the next regatta. A well known oarsman who is connected with the Post Office department in this city informs us that he will pick out a crew from the carriers' department that will compete against a crew from any other branch of the Government Service on the Pacific Coast. Any crew desiring to take up the defy can obtain full information at the office of the Breeder and Spoeism in. John A. StillmLin , who wsb at one time a very prominent oarsman, has resumed practice again. He is training from tbe South End boat house. The prospects of a regatta on Thanksgiving day are now very slim. RUNNERS. WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The members of the Alpine Clnb contested in a half mile handicap run at the Bay District Track last Sunday morning. H P Coleman acted as starter and Captain John D Garrison set the marks for the men. Harry O Farrell and P N Gaf- ney kept time. The men were nil in fair condition on ac- count of having had to prepare themselves beforehand for the games oi the O C which were held on tbe previous day. Three prizes were given to the three men finishing first. The following members competed: Herry C Casidy and John D Garrison, scratch; Sol Choynski, 30 yards; George W Arm bruster, 30 yards; G W BiBhop, 50 yards; A Choynski, 65 yards; W F Vollmer. 65 yarks- A M Kieg and Mask Lang 75 y-irds each; John W Creagh, 50 yards. Garrison at once cut out the pace and at the hundred vard pole was in the lead. From there to the wire be continued to gain with Bishop, Sol Choynaki and Casidy at his heels. Garrison finished 6rst in 2 min. 12 sees., Bishop 2nd, Choynski, 3d and Casidy 4th. Casidy appeared to be over trained for he has beaten this time all to pieces in private trials. The programme of games for Thanksgiving Day as ar- ranged by the Directors of the Olympic Clnb is: One hundred-yard run, open handicap; 440 yard ran, open handicap; half mile run, O A (j handicap; mile ran, open handicap: 220 yard O A C maiden, for members who have never competed in a race; 120 yard hurdle, open handicap; 220 yard hurdle, O A C handicap; pole vault, open handicap; running broad jump, O A C handicap: putting 16 lb shot, handicap O A C; 220 yard ran for O A C juveniles, handicap; one mile walk, open handicap; ran from grounds to top of Mount Olympns and return. We think a three mile walk might have been substituted for the one mile walk, as A Cooke of the Alpine Club is very anxious to meet Horace Coffin of the Olympic Clnb at that distance. Both men finished very close to each other in the three mile walk at the championship meeting and another race of the same distance between tbe two would prove highly interesting. Uooke will hardly compete in a mile race and as he and Coffin are the only two men that are liable to enter. The Directors who made out the programme should give the matter their attention. Cooley aod Harry C Casidy will meet in the mile ran and will both be put on scratch. This w;ll give the Alpine man a chance fo meet Cooley again at toat distance. The scribe who grumbled at the handicapping of last Sat- urday's games, knows as much about handicapping or athlet- ics in general as a mule does about writing shorthand. Even after the fa'rness of the handicaps had been clearly demon- strated, he continued to make ill the public with outbursts of his ignorance. The wrestling (?) match hetween McLeod and Mclnerney, which took place in IrviDg Hall on Tuesday evening last, was as brutal an exhibition of the kind as ever was given in San Francisco. The less said about the affair the better, and the Olympic Club should prohibit any of its members from tak- ing part in similar exhibitions. The gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. on Sutter street, has just been refitted, thoroughly renovated, repainted and new apparatus added. The class evenings are Tuesday, Thurs- day aDd Saturday. The classes are in charge of Prof. G. A. Mattern. The best members have formed themselves into a club known as the Argus, and as several of them are tine tumblers, wrestlers and boxers, they do not agree with the rules of the gymnasium, which prohibit "sparring, wrestling, tumbling feats of contortion, etc." At the present time the Argus Clab is negotiating to join hands with the Alpine Club, and should the two clubs come together, more improvements will be made at Central Park. Clarke, a new member of the Alpine Club, walked 220 yards at the Bay District Track last 3anday morning in 39 2-5 seconds. Massey, the Australian sprinter, ran half a mile easily in 2:22. A week from to-morrow the Alpine Clab will hold an invi- tation field day at the Bay District Track. Only members of the club will compete. The programme will consist of three events, namely: One-qnarter mile handicap run; exhi- bition run by J. D. Garrison, and an exhibition sprint walk by P. N. Gafney. There are already twenty names on the list for the quarter. Several members of the Scottish Thistle Club are traioinS at Central Park. During the week the Park was crowded with runners and walkers, who took much pleasure in prac- ticing by the pale ligbt of the moon. The Alpine and Thistle foot ball teams practice every af- ternoon at Central Park. Hand ball is very popular with many members of the Olympic Club, and the court at the new grounds is never idle. Tbe Olympic Club grounds, which at one time were almost entirely deserted by the athletes, are now well patronized. Runners, jumpers, walkers, wrestlers, etc , are practicing out there day and night. It is really wholesome to watch the boys exercise. Eddie Grauey, the boxer, is rapidly recovering from the ef- fects of the injuries he received by being thrown out of his baggy pome days ago. Two prizes will be given for each event at the Thanksgiv- ing Day games of the Olympic Clab. The prizes will be placed on exhibition before the games and delivered to the winners at the conclusion of each race. Entrance fee is fifty cents for each event. A time will be set for each event, and any athlete wno is alow in gettiDg on his mark will get left. The boxing tournament which will begin at the Olympic Club rooms on next Thursday evening promises to be a grand success. Several new members have j lined the club in or- der to be able to witness the contests to which only members of th6 Olympic Club will be admitted. There will be any amount of opposition from outside clubs, and it is safe to pre- dict that the bouts in e*ch class will be stubbornly contested. The P. C. A, A. A. will act very wi=elv in holding an in door championship meeting in the Pavilion. The tournament ia bound to be a success both athletically and financially. The medals won by outside athletes at the games of the Alpine Club in May last are now ready for distribution, and can be obtained from Captain Garrison. Curtis, the English amateur walker, recently made a mile in 6min 40secs on a pass course, which beats the world's record. John A. Stellmao, the well known and popular athlete, has had a fine gymnasium fitted up in the basement of his store on the corner of Mission and Sixth streets. Mr. Stellmau is constantly punching the bag, swinging the clubs and using the domb bells. He is also practicing wrestling and will possibly enter the next wrestling tournament. CLUB JOTTINGS. Captain Walter A. Scott suggests that a scratch field day be given on Washington's Birthday. Mr. Scott says that as neither Purcell, Schifferstein or Jams wnnld enter, the contests between the Olympic, Alpine and University Clubs would be very olose and it would be very hard to Dame the club that would win the most points. Of course the meeting would not be for the championships, but still the fact of all the events being scratoh would help to attract a very large audience. We think the suggestion worthy of consideration by the boys. Clnb run No. 13 of the Olympic Clnb will be held to- morrow from tbe rooms of tbe Alameda Olympic Club. Those who intend goinn on tbe run should take the 10 a. it, broad guBge beat for Alameda. The run will be in charge of Capt. Scott and bia lieutenants. John Elliott and D. W. Donnelly. Several members of tbe Alameda Olympic Club will j Aa witl tbe Olympic hojs in the contest. Continued on page ill. 408 %ht fprsjete awd M> yovtsm&u. Nov. 1 THE WEEKLY Breeder and SpoFifman. JAMES P.

The Highland Farm Catalogue. We have received from W. C. France and Bon, of High- land Farm, Lexington, Ky., their fall catalogue for 1890, and as usual it fairly bristles with producing blood lines both in the stallions and in the brood mares men- tioned. At the head of the list, occupying the post of honor, is found Red Wilkes, arjd the announcement is made that he is a private stallion, his thirty -one Bona and daughters in the 2:30 list making him worthy of the position. Of the other stallions there are Allandorf 7462, Sentinal Wilkes 2499, Belzoni9948, and Pilot Mam- brino 632. Then follows eighty-nine brood mares, the great attraction to which is that almost all of them are marked ''standard and registered," with those who wish to buy good stock this is always one cf the incentives to purchase, and after a careful examination of the pedi- grees in the catalogue we can commend the stock to prospective investors in first-class trotting horses. Palo Alto, Sunoland Stamboul. The Directors of the Pacific Coast Tro'ting Horse Breeders Assoeia'ion advertised prior to the late meeting at Napa, that Sunol and Palo Alto would be two of the the attractions present at their annual meeting. As Mr. Marvin did not return with the Palo Alto stable until too late, it has been deemed expedient to give another meeting, the first day selected being Saturday, Nov. 8th. As yet only one day's meeting has been prepared for, but others will undoubtedly follow during the succeeding week. The programme for Saturday as at present ar- ranged is a Special Purse of $600 for named horses, viz. Maggie E., Mary Lou, Lee, Chas. Derby, George Wash, ington, Wanda, Emma Temple and Redwood. Palo Alto will be sent to beat his present record of 2: 124, while Sunol will endeavor to lower her mark of 2:10$. Stain boul has also been secured as one of the drawing cards, and as he has been trotting very fast since the Napa meeting, there are many who believe that on the date mentioned he will be able to beat the present record of Nelson. This attractive programme should draw a large concourse of people to the Bay District Track. As the weather at present gives every indication of remain- ing clear for some time, there need be no fear that the elements will stand in the way of a postponement. The track is being especially orepared for fast time under the personal supervision of Marvin and Goldsmith, and it goes without saying that these two trainers are as able* from their knowledge of track work, to prepare a fast course as any two man in the country. A Record Meeting. Hickok and McDoel. For the past month or six weeks several Eastern newspapers, which pay attention to horse-racing news, The Directors of the San Joaquin Valley Agricultural Association have determined to give a supplemental meeting on November 18th and 19th, on which occasion have seen fit to criticise very severely the driving of Mo th^re will be races for year-old, two-year-old, three-year- Doel at Buffalo, by Onin A. Hickok. One particularly old, four- year old and all aged horses. These contests the American Sportsman, has been very outspoken in its will be given under the new rules as laid down by the charges against the celebrated CaLfornian driver, and National Trotting Horee Breeders Association, and have as a result Budd Doble and Hamilton Busbey have each b?en arranged more particularly for the purpose of allow- sent us a letter in which they take the grounds that ing the breeders throughout the State to secure records Hickok was innocent of any wrong doing. So that our for their hoises under the standard rule. Toe entrance readers may understand what the trainer of the horse for each of the various classes will be §10, payable at and one of the judges in the stand thought, it will be the time of nomination, and as premiums the Association better to give their letters in full. Oar correspondent will give gold, silver and bronze medals for the various winners in the different classes. The er. tries for this meeting will close on November 16th, thus giving ample time for breeders to prepare their horses and get them ready for record purposes. We have no doubt but what the meeting will be largely attended, and that all horsemen throughout the State will take advantage of the opportunity to enable them to get their trotters into the 2:30 list. The New Zealand Sale. The New York Sportsman is waging a war against the evils of collusion between the Bookmakers and rac- ing establishments, and the Chicago Horseman is sup. porting it in the good work. The highest bred lot of stock ever offered for sale Bouth of the Equator is to be sold at Sylvia Park, six miles from Auckland, N. Z., on the 6th day of January next. The steamer which leaves here on the 15th of November is the last opportunity for buyers wishing to attend the sale; and there never will be another opportunity like this. Among the sires are Nordenfeldt, St. L^ger, Hotch- kins and Fusillade. The first two are tried sires, while the two latter have as yet no progeny on the turf. Nor- denfelt completely outclassed all contemporary horses, and his brother, Enfilade, was also a colt of great speed. Nordenfelt won the Derby of 1885, both at Sydney and Melbourne, a performance to which neither Abercrrn Melos, Australian Peer nor Carbine was equal. He got "off" in the fall, and the Leger was won by his stable companion, Matchlock, to whom he could alw^y8 con- cede five pounds. In the Melbourne Cup he was weight- ed at 134 lbs., the heaviest weight ever carried up to that time by a four year old; and even then had to be bumped and jostled to death by the "stiff horses" in the race to keep him from winning. He is a dapple brown and the most evenly turned horse we ever beheld. He is but eight years old and is already the sire of seven winners. St. Leger is a year older and has four winners already. He is a golden chestnut and handsome enough to carry a king. Got by Doncaster (the sire of Bend d'Or) out of Atlantis by Thormanby (she was the dam of our King Ban). He shows as good blood as can be found on the top of the earth. One of his sons, Town Moor, has al- ready shown very high form and looks very much like a future winner of classical events. Our local breeders should not miss getting one or the o'her of these two horses; and if they secured both of them, so much the better. Indeed, we do not consider auy stud farm com- plete without a Musket stallion. If a man cannot afford to buy Nordenfelt, who is apt to go as high as $20,000, he should buy Hotchkiss, who is an immense horse and vastly superior, in our opinion, to his half-brother, Fu- sillade, and not likely to sell above $5,000. The inares are, for the most part, too old for importa- tion to America, but there are a few young ones on which there will be some spirited bidding. One of these is Lady Mersey, 6 years, by Musket, out of imp Mersey, and therefore a full sister to Carbine; Forma, 6 years, by Sterlingworth, out of imp Pulchra by Hosicrucian; Lyre, 11 years, by Patriarch, out of Lyre by Thormanby; and Sister Agnes by Rosierucian, out of Penance by the Flying Dutchman. Among the yearlings, our preference is the bay colt by Nordenfeldt, from Florence McCarthy (dam of Tirail- leur), by Macaroni. Next to him comes the brown colt by Nordenfelt from Atlantis (aam of St. L^ger) by Thormanby. Third among our preferences is the brown colt by Nordenfelt, out of imp Nelly Moore by Volti • geur. She is the dam of Lochiel, the great horse who won the Australian Cup on Tuesday, and the Newmar- ket handicap, six furlongs, on the following Saturday. Fourth best we deem the bay colt by Laolinus, out of Woodnymph, own sister to that great horse Martini Henry. Our fifth choice is the chestnut colt by St. Leg- er, out of imp Lady Ravensworth by Yoltigeur, her dam own sister to Thormanby. There are yearling sisters to Carbine, Whakawai and a Nordenfelt filly out of Man- ton's dam, all of which ought to sell for good figures, We certainly hope California buyers will be represented, as we do not know when another such ohance is likely to occur. Catalogues of the stock ca i be had on applica- tion, or at the office of the New Zialand Fire Insurance Co. who was on the ground at the time made no mention of any suspicious circumstances in connection with the race, and but very f«w of the newspapers published in the East did, still, as so much has been copied in refer- ence to the affair, it is only just to Hickok that this side of the story should be given. Lexington, Ky., October J5, 1S90. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— My attention having been called to articles recently published in the American Sportsman and the New York Times, relating to a race at the late summer meeting at Buffalo, N. Y., in which Mr. Orrin Hickok drove the horse McDjel, I desire to state that having on that day three races to drive, I asked Mr. Hickok to drive the horse McDoel for me. He consented and drove him, but after the Becond beat he came to me nod said he feared he could not win and wished to be relieved, and r< quested I should drive the horse the rest of the ra^e. I declined, nod told him he was driviog the race as well as auy one could. I have reason to b lieve Hickok afterward went to one of the judges and reques'ed him to ask me to drive him the balance of the race, I was at the time, and am now, entirely Fatisfied that Mr. Hickok drove the horsB honestly and to the best of his ability. I desire to further state that Mr. Hickok drove simply as a favor to me, and that there was no sort of arrange- ment or understanding as to any lease of the horse or any other sort of an agreement except to drive the horse for me to the best of his ability. This I believe he did, and have never doubted or questioned it, and any assertion to the con- trary I believe to be unjust and unirue. Budd Doble. Lexington, Ky., October 20. 1890 I was a judge in the two twenty t*o (2:22) race at Buffalo, in which McDoel wa* defeated by Mambrino Maid. I spoke" to O. A. Hickok, who drove McDoel, and he stated that h6 was doing the best he could with the horse, and added that he would prefer that Budd Doble should finish the race. I then spoke to Doble, telliog him of Hickok'B request, and he replied that he was satisfied with the driving of Hickok; that McDoel was off, and that he did not believe that auy one could win with him. He did not wish to drive McDoel on that day, because he was driving Jack and Ed Annan in two important races, and he claimed that to drive a third race would completely exhaust him and render him unfit to do justice to the other horses. The explanation was a reason- able one, and it satisfied me and my associates iu the stand. Hamilton Busbey. San Jose Blood Horse Meeting. The Directors of the San Jose Association are once more to the front with their semi-annual announcement. A meeting will be held next month for runners only, and already quite a large number of thoroughbreds are in training there, prominent among the stables being those belonging to L. J. Rose, W. L. Appleby and Wm. Boots. The spring and fall meetings at San Jose have been uniformly successful, and it can readily be be- lieved that the approaching one will equal any of those held in the past. The Secretary sends us word that every attention will be paid to the track and that it is in belter shape now than it has been for a longtime. The programme is a good one and consists of races at all dis. fauces usually run now-a days, so that all classes of horses may have a chance to share in the money hung up in purses. The entries will close on Monday Best and the full list of races can be found in our advertising columns. A Change in Time of Entry. The Blood Horse Association have held a meeting lately and changed the time of receiving entries for the FaII meeting, as it is presumed that some of the horses which have been running in the East will arrive dur- ing the coming week. Originally, November 3rd waa aunounced as the closing day, but now the date has been changed to the 8th and undoubtedly a larger num- ber of entries will be received and ihe sport considerably enhanced. Those having thoroughbreds in training are interested in remembering this ohange. Reports come from the East that Mr. Nelson is con- fident that his now celebratsd stallion can trot in 2:10. Well, all Californian horsemen are confident that Stam- boul can go that fast or better, with Palo Alto as an un- known quantity, when it comes to trottiug below 2:12$, Lst the rain hold off for three weeks and there is no telling what the Eastern horses may have to aim a* next year, we can guarantee a low mark now with a much lower one in prospective. Counsellor Crawford saved his money last year owing to rain, and it may be possible that the calculations of Messrs. Hobart and Goldsmith will go awry this season owing to the same cause. 1890 2Pte greater awit jlpjorcisroatt. 409 Our Lodi Letter. Editor Breeder ant> Sportsman:— As it is some little time siDce the readers of the Breeder and Sportsman have had any information in regard to the horses now located here, perhaps a few lines would not be amiss, seeing that there is so much interest taken in the light harness horse, especially after the sensational records that were made at Napa. At present Lodi is quite a lively horse town, and many of the principal business men here are taking an active interest in well bred and speedy trotters. The Lodi Driving Park Association has a good mile track with, twenty box stalls, 12x14, with a fourteen feet awning running in front of the line of stalls, an1 sixty more new stalls are at present in course of construction. It is the intention of the Association to give a first class meeting here some time in December, and as the Directors are of the enterprising sort, the meeting should be a very successful one. The officers are L. M. Morse, President; B. F. Langford, Vice President; G. W. Carrier, Treasurer; and D, H. Corran, Sacretary. Of all the many horsemen who have visited here and taken a look at our superb course, there is not one who has not been willing to acknowledge that for winter purposes the Lodi track has no equal; even after the heaviest rain of last winter twelve hours was alt that was needed to dry the track sufficiently for the horses to work on it. I am not sure but I ought to speak a wor,1 for the roads, as they are always in the best of condition here, the pecnliar soil seems to suck up the water and leave no muddy roads for the drivers to haul through. If there be any of the trotting horse men throughout the State who desire to secure comfortable winter quarters for their horses and at the same time secure a track that can be used almost every day in winter, by all means let them come to Lodi and they will find just what they require. There are several horses now quartered at the track, Mc. L. M. Morse, owner of Dexter Prince hiving Cleo 2:37, a black filly four years old, by Dexter Prince, dam by Silverthreads. The same gentleman also has a chestnut colt two years old, by the same sire, the dam being by Abbotrford 2;19f-. At Mr. Morse's home place, which is situated some two and a half miles from Lodi, there are quite a number of very prom- ising trotters, the large majority of them being by Dexter Prince, who it is well known, is the sire of Princess Alice 2:17, Lottery Ticket 2:30, and the very fast two year old owned by David Young of Stockton, and if there be any favorable conditions, it is almost a moral certainty that Dex- ter Prince will have several others in the 2;30 list before the Itt of January next. The Hon. B. F. Langford is the fortunate possessor of several well bred youngsters, among them being James L.t bay gelding, four years old, by Dexter Prince; a gray filly three years old, by the same sire; and a bay colt two years old, also by the same sire; he has a very good black filly tLree years old, sired by Hawthorne, Mr. Shippee's well known stallion. C. H. CorraD, the Secretary of the Association, owns SometEette Prince, chestnut stallion four years old, by Dex- ter Prince, dam by Chieftain 721. This stallion took first premium at the State Fair last year, for tbe best stallion of four years old or over. He is a very showy horse and has considerable speed, he having been driven quarters in 36 seconds while in service in the eaily part of last summer; his owner predicts very confidently that this beautiful ani- mal will enter the 2:30 list next season. Mr. Corran also has a full brother to the above, a bay, three years old, whioh is almost bb fine a looker as the older brother. The same gen- tleman has two fillies by Dexter Prince, dam by Silver- threads, and the dam of these little beauties has again been stinted to the same Bire. Mr. Hamilton has Prince Wood, chestDnt stallion, four yearsold, by Dexter Prince, dam by Nutwood 2d dam Maud (dam of Reliance, 2:22$, and Magdallah, 2:24), This is a very spetdy young horse, and can pace a 25 clip to a buggy. Mr. Ham- ilton also has Hector C, a chestnut gelding by Priam. This is a very fast horse, and has shown quarters in 33 seconds, but went lame, and his owner has bad him fired and turned out, but fully expects to beat all green horses on the track next season; if he is brought to the wire in good condition, ]oik out for another Frank M., and as both of them are by Priam, it would look as though the old, despised horse could produce speed equal to that shown by representatives of more famous stallions. Among the recent arrivals at this place is Mr. Mike Cos.. tello, who has brought with him two fine looking youngsters from Tacoma, Wash*. The first is a bay stallion by Hemani (a son of Electioneer), dam by Hock-Hoeking, and a bay gelding, pacer, by Patsey Clinker; dam a thoroughbred mare. After the recent rains Mr. Cjstello pronounced the Lodi traok the best he had ever seen for winter work, as almost immediately afterwards horses were ready to go out in their preliminary jogs. Chas. Thayer owns a gray stallion by Judge Salisbmy 5872, dam by A. W. Richmond. This stallion hes any quan- tity of speed, and has electrified the spectators on severaj oocasions with very fast quarters. Hs a two-year-old he trotted in 2:38, and a very low mark is promised for him when he starts in his next race. Mr. Thayer also has a two-year-old colt by his great stallion, whioh is also oat of en A. W. Richmond mare, and the tenth time he was ever in harness, showed a quarter in 46 seconds. The Harrison Bros, of Stockton are now quartered at tie track, and have the well known race horse Hello, by Shan- nan, also a bay colt Kylo by imported Cyrus. These two horseB are beiug trained and the Harrison boys expect to have them both iu shap9 for the Blood Horse meeting, and as usual give the talent a surprise party. Jno.

He runs at the Dose a yellowish discharge, and has a big lump under his jaw. Please let me know if I can cure him, and how? Answer. — Put him in a box stall, if convenient, and blanket him. If the lump under the jaw be bard, blister it with Oan- tharides one part to eight of lard. When it gets snfr, IaDce it, and apply a poultice to it daily, syringing it out with warm water containing a little carbolic acid each day before applying the fresh poultice. Steam his head daily by put- ting it into a sack containing warm bran. Take the cold out of his drinking water, and feed him on small warm bran mashe3. Give him no grain and very little hay. Get an ounce each of. quinine and antipyrine made into twelve powders, and give him one of those powders morning and evening in the mash. L. C. I have lost a great many horses from time to time from lung fever, and have at present three laid up with it. Please tell me how to treat them and oblige. Answer — Put the horse in a box stall if convenient. The place should be well ventilated, but not draughty. Put a warm woolen blanket on him, and if legs be cold bandrob them and put woolen bandages on them. Apply mustard to the sides and chest. The mustard may be washed of! after about two hours and a half, with warm water, but you must be careful to dry the rart well, and cover him immediately for fear of catching ell. Give him three times a day half a drachm each of sulphate quinine and antipyrine. Give him no grain and very little hay. Let Lim have Borne flaxseed tea to drink and a small warm bran mash morning ant evening. If he is very sick do not give him even bran, but a little oat meal gruel may be put through the flaxseed. K. S. H. I have a five months old colt with a bruise just above the knee. I don't know how it wsb received. It might have been kicked or the mare might have stepped on it. It is a hard callous lump Bomewhat larger than a hen's egg. The skin is perfectly loose around it. I have been using lini- ment on it but it does not seem to recede any. It has been hurt abou'fi a gmonth. jTae swelling has all gone, but the callous lnmp still remains. If you advise blistering how will I prevent it biting it. Answer.— Apply tincture of Iodine to the part once a day until a scruff appears. Then discontinue its use until the soreness has left it, when you may 'repeat the application as before, until the enlargement disappears. After each appli- cation it would be well to tie a cloth or bandage loosely over the part, so as to prevent him getting his mouth to it. A Level Head. Thf Advantage of Presence of Blind in an Emergency. During the late strike on the New York Central Railroad, the militia were ordered to be in readiness in case of a riot, but tbey were not called out. In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops were not to be called upon except in case of an emergency. The emer- gency had not arisen, therefore they would not be ordered out. He remarked that this was the first great strike with which he had had experience, and he did not propose to lose his head; the only point at which chere had then been seri- ous trouble was at Syracuse, and there a deputy sheiiff had lost his head and precipitated an encounter. The strike continued several weeks and there was riotous action at various points along the road, but the civil authori- ties were able to cope with it without calling on the militia. The test of a man's real ability comes when an emergency arises which makes a hasty call on his good judgment and discretion. The man who retains his presence of mind, maintains his equipoise and exercises sound discretion at such critical junctures, is to be relied on and will be put to the front. Men with levei heads have the staying qualities which do not falter in the face of danger. Otis A. Cole, of KinBman, O., June 10, 1890, writes: "In the fall of 18SS 1 was feeliog very ill. I consulted a doctor and he said I had Bright's dis- ease of the kidneys and that he would not stand in my shoes for the State of Ohio." But he did not lose courage or give up; hesays:"lBaw the testimonial of Mr. John Cohman, 100 Gregory St., New Haven, Conn,, and I wrote to him In due time I received an answer, stating that the testimonial that he gave was genuine and not overdrawn in any particu- lar. I took a good many bottles of Warner's Safe Cure; have not taken any for one yeaT." Gov. Hill is accounted a very successful man; he is cool and calculating and belongs to the class that do not lose their heads when emergencies arise. As good luck would bave it, I happened across Mr. John Mackey and Mr. Matthew Byrnes, the other night at a time when the two worthy gentlemen had not yet recovered from the astonishment provoked by my comparison of the merits of Salvator and Hindoo last week, says Druid Hill. As a consequence, I came away quite convinced that if the chestnut colt bad been asked to run after the moon he would bave caught her without much trouble and re- turned with her to earth with less, and, by the wav, ppeaking of Byrnes and Mackey reminds me that while it has been defi- nitely decided to run Sdlvator no more, the question of Firen- zi's reappearance under saddle next year is still an open one For my own part I think we shall see the little Queen again, fori take no stock in the talk about Mr. Haggin's with- drawal from the turf. Persons who look about to engage two jock6ys are scarcely contemplating retiring from active racing. Besides, Firenzi on the turf and Salvator in the stud will mean a bread winner of high degree at eaoh end of the line. Answers to Correspondents.

Smith won Id like to know if there is any one going to seDri trotting horses east this fall, as he has a couple of bro sBd, usually by their enthusiastic owners who boast that it ia no trouble for their dogs to "pick up" a jack with but little effort. Well, perhaps this may be trae cf the couising event po CHlled, bnt I should like to s;e the hound that could p ck up a crack ruuoing rabbit when jamped on iU owngroiud and given a fair show. Some rabbits, like special animals in all other classe?, are much swifter than others, aud my experience has been that a good strong rab- bit under favjiatle conditions stands about an even chance f ir life when chased by the very best dogs in the land. Such coursiDg is spoil unequalled. No one can judge of it until they have actually eogtged in the chase under such circumstances as aboved mentioned. I recall with pleasure one particularly fine coursiDg event which tcok place on the above named grounds. It was a beautiful afternoon in the month of January. There wa3 a light fall of anow on the ground, and the air was c iol and cri6p, yet not too braciDg. We had been on the ground but a short time, in fact had but commenced our forward movement, when a fine Jack jamped lrom near the center of our line, right in front of the hounds. In an in- stant the crowd of leaders were Hying down the road, all well bunched. Tnree of the dogs ran with scarcely a length's difference between any of them, and scarce a rod behind the Jack. For mjre tbau a mile the race was along as smooth and perfect a course as one could wish. After the first few hnuored yards dash, the horses began to drop back one by one until only three of us were found to be near the hounds. One of our party, mounted on an nnasually fine animal, was now taking the lead, keeping up with the hounds. I Bhall never forget the pp'endid picture presented. In front, and in spite of all the effjrts of hounds and horse, the J^ck was measuring the ground, moie as a low tiying bird than an an- imal. I>s long ears were laid back along its ahculders, and it appeared like a streak of grey light es it skimmed along over the snow. The dogs, old Touy now 1 ading the other two.by a length, were doing thtir utmost to lessen 'he distance between their long noses aud the game Behind the dogs but a short dis- tance, stated on a long, lithe, nervy horBe, one of our num- ber was urging his steed to its utmost exertion, which was. believe me, at no inconsiderable speed. The rider had dropped his whip, and now lea' iDg forward, utterly retard- lens of the destruction of tbat highly useful article of appa- rel, was btl iboiing his bteed with his hat and occasionally Giving vent to a yell, which would have caused a Comanche Indian to turn green with envy had he heard it. It was a pretty and BtirriDg scene. After running for fully the mile, the Jack was turned across a ploughed field by reaaon of meeting some parlies coming from the opposite direotion. It came near proving a fatal move for the rabbit. Away across the field dashed the game and dogs. Before they had gone far over the ploughed ground, we coald plainly see that the dogs were gradually closiDg on the game. Both rabbit and dogs were slipping about as in lighting they would Btrike on a slanting piece of sod, from which the sun had melted the snow and rendered it slippery. For the last 200 yarda over that ground the dog ■ Tony was nipping at the rabbit but just missing his expected grip. The otner dogs were some jarda behind, all of them with toDgues extended and the foam dripping from their mouths. ' If that rabbit ever reaches the road on the opposite side of the field, it will come down this way and make for its bur- row not far from where it started" said one of our number. This proved to be the outcome of as pretty a coursing event as I ever witnessed. The Jack reached the road and it would have done any true sportsmans heart good to see it begin to gradually yet steadily from the first leap it made in the clear and unob- structed path, draw away from the hound. Several of us hastened back to intercept the course the game was taking. Just as we were nearing the road, down which, not over 300 yards distant the Jack, closely followed by the hound were coming, we noticed the rabbit dash to one side of the road and disappear. The next moment old Tony was at the spot, out to no purpose. The Jack was secure in its burrow, and I for one was glad of it. So splendid a run was deserving of success. K you want to see Jack rabbits run, chase them on their native heath. C. T. Chasing Harea at Newark- Courting is popular. It is daily becoming more so iD fhis city and vicinity. It is a stirring and highly interesting sport. Everybody who becomes interested in it become enthusiasts. Last Sunday waa a magnificent day at Newark. The weather was superb. The crowd was ample and generous. The grounds were in excellent condition, as were also the hares and hounds. As a result the assembled sportsmen witnessed some fine coursing. The hareB wera uncommonly fine ones, spirited and enduring. The doga appearing in the events to advantage were Daisy Girl, Tipperary Girl, Harriet S., McGinty, Fleet and Tom Moore. John Grace acted as judge; alipper, Jamea Wren. The following is a summary of the races: First round — J. Shea's McGinty beat J. J. Brady'B Tom Moore; J McCormack'a Tipperary Girl beat M. Hynes' Lady Hynes; P. Carroll's Harriets", beat M. Nolan's Fleet; J. Shea's Fenian Boy beat P. O'Connell's Mission Boy; Limerick Dairy Girl beat P. O'Connell's MarkDevlin; J. R. Dickson's Volun- teer ran a bye. Second round — Tipperary Girl beat McGinty; Harriets, beat Fenian Bay; Dairy Girl beat Volunteer. Third round — Tipperary Girl beat Harriet S; Dairy Girl ran a bye. Final — Dairy Girl beat Tipperary Girl and won the stake, $25, Tipperary Girl taking $15 and Harriet S. $8. The spoit was also very line at Ocean View Park. The contest here was for the Taber and Kreling stakes. The fol- lowing dogs were entered for the sport: T. J. Cronin's Chicopee Lass, T. Walton's Daily Report, P. F. Canavan's Freestone, J. J. Kademaker's Al Farrow, P. F. Canavan's Maud Jones, T. J. Cronin's Dan B., J. J. Ed- monds' Soldier Boy, David D.llon's Sidney Dick, J. J. Ed- monds' Bone?, J. J. Edmonds' Pippin, Jr., P. F. Canavan's Examiner and John Hugh's Dexter. In the first ties Dan B. defeated Freestone, Maud Jones defeated Soldier Boy, Al Farrow defeated Bones, Dexter beat Sydney Dick, Examiner defeated Chicopee Lass, and Pippin, Jr. beat Daily Report. Iu the second ties Dan B. defeated Al Farrow, and Exam- iner ran a bye. In the final ties Dan B. defeated Examiner and won for her owner {T. J. Cronin) $30 in coin and a gold badge. which is valued at $40 and which wa3 presented by C. W. Taber, the nominee on the Republican ticket for Supervisor of the Eleventh ward. The second prize ($20) was won by Exam- iner, and the third ($10) by Al Farrow. The Coursing Event of the Year. The sportsmen of the city who love the chase ate all agog over the proapeetB of some fine sport at Merced. Never be- fore has so much interest been taken in any event of this na- ture on the coast. It is to be made the coming event of the year. No doubt but that it will amply repay all who attend, for there will be an opportunity offered to witneaa aome aa fine chasing as wa,3 ever placed before the public. Every precaution ia being taken by the active and efficient manage- ment to render thia an event long to be remembered by the coureiDg loving public. The premiuma offered are such as to insure a good attendance of the very beat dogs in the country. They will be there, and no doubt but that all races will be hotly contested from start to fiuish. -The first prize ia $500, followed by a second for $300 and a third one of $100 It is slated also that dogs winning two courses will get $20 each. This is a very liberal showing, and should call out the very beat doga in thia entire section of country. It is evi- denced by the high interest already taken by the aportsmen of this city that this event will far surpass an} thing ever at- tempted in this line west of the Rockies. They are not only in earnest, but their interest has reached a point which can only be described properly by the term enthusiasm. One exceedingly good feature about the event is that the officers and managers are determined that it shall be in all things square and honorable. Any attempt by any one to avoid the spirit of the rales governii g tl^is event will be barred from participating in the races All doge entered, must be fairly so. under their true name and that of tbeir genuine owner1. Ni byplay or chicanery of any nature will be per- mitted. This atatement is deemed neees^a y, owing to the fact that certain transactions in like events tin given rise to discuasionaod hard feeling in coursing matters. Let it be strictly gaarded iu tbis event that no groands m >y i e found for subsequent bitterness and accusation as to un'air treat- ment.

The interest is such as to warrant the enterprise. It is impractical for every one wishiDg a good dog to have it expressed from the eaat. - The coat is too great. We muBt breed our own dogs. There are a number of good kennels on the count, but we need more of them. Mrs Cleveland's German Poodle- The good will of the American people waa evidenced in a Btriking manner toward Mr. and Mrs. President Cleveland, by the large number of pets that were Bhowered upon them. AmoDg this collection was an Ald^rney cow, the gilt of Geo. W. Childs; Ray, the cream coloted mastiff sent by Richard Watson Gilder; a beagle hound, brought from Germaoy by Mrs. Cleveland's mother;a red squirrel, a monkey, a canary, an alligator, a ccon cat. a deer, the special pet and pride of the President, and last, but by no means least, the famous black poodle, sent as a puppy from Holland. The la'tsr, while a very nice appearing dog, Beamed to be melancholly aod lonely. It took no interest in any thing whatever. The servants and all observers, declared the dog to be deaf as a post. When spoken to it gave no heed. Command and entreaty were alike unheeded, until one day by chance a Dutchman wandered into the east room where the poodle chanced to be. Noticing the little poodle he spoke to it in German, at which the puppy, which had been lying on the floor in its usually abstracted manner, jumped up and frisked about with every manifestation of pleasure. TheBe manifestations of pleasure increased as the German continued to talk to the poodle until those present decided that the dog bad evidently gone mad. Gradually the truth began to dawn on the minds of all an the dog clung to the Dutchman with every indication of delight. It was the first words tbat it had ever understood in ita new home. No wonder it was pleased. -* Mr. C. P. Hubbard, of Broken Bod, Nebraska, has a full assortment of Irish setters, Pointers and beagles in his "Loup Kennela." In dogB, as in everything else, it pays to handle only the best, A good dog is a comfort and a pleasure, a poor dog is worse than no dog at all. If you wish to conquer a savage dog, saturate a glove strongly with ammonia, and hold it to his nostrilB. The pungent odor will take away his desire tn bite or do much else, which requires an inhaling process. The treadmill ahould be abolished If you canDot give your dog proper exercise in the open air, don't keep him. Let Borne one have him who will care for him properly. Treadmill exercise will break the spirit of the best dog in the land. Every agricultural and industrial fair, should encourage the holding of a bench show in connection therewith.

A coursing match is announced to take place at Lodi, to- morrow, Sunday, the 2d instant. The event will be con- ducted under the management of the Lodi Coursing Club. Entrance fee $2. The grounds selected are Baid to be fine for the sporf. Full particulars may be obtained from J. W. Dougheity or D. L. Smith, president aud secretary of the club. A bench show will be held in this city, under the auspices of the Pacific Kennel Club, sometime in next April. It should be made a success. There is no good reason why it should not be successful, in the highest degree. From the nature and business tact of the gentlemen in charge of the matter we have no hesit.tion in saying that it will be a surprise to the public, when compared with the shows of the past. Not that the shows of the past have been failures by any means, but because there ia a greater interest now taken in the matter than ever before. Messrs Norman and Linndle, have just returned from a visit to Watsonville and the Allender Kennele. The dogs were found in excellent condition, aud those intended for the field trials taking to their work in a splendid manner. The visitors were given an oppoitunity to try their hands at quail shooting, which they improved to the best of their ability, under the circumstances, aDd these must have been very pcor, at least we will kindly so state, for one single bird was the result of their efforts. The object of the visitors was mainly for the purpose of seeming a dog for Mr. Frank Ma*key, from (Nestor — Djsu California litter recently wheJped. This litter is said to be as fine as could be expected, and taking their breeding ilIo consideration, tbis may be said to be a high ecconiom. Mr. F G.Stewart, formerly of Hoosic Falls, New York, one of the best posted and moat earnest dog fanciers and breeders in the country, has just returned from an extended visit from the eaet. His well known kennela at Hoosic Fells contains some ot the best specimens of the beagle, greyhound*, daohshunds and foxhounds.

[Written fob the Breeder and Sportsman.] "When the golden days of Autumn, Paints the leaves a scarlet hne, And night's silent breath congealing, Chills to frost the falling dew; When the prairie chickens gather, In great numbers for their flight, I love to sally forth to shoot them, By the early morning light. See them sitting on the haystacks, And upon the shocks of corn. Lighting on the fence by hundreds, Ere the day is fairly born; Winging swift and low o'er meadows: Perched upon the tallest trees. While the world is yet a slumber, Yet uawaked the morning breeze. How I love to ste^I upon them. Ere my presence they aivine, for the pleasure is exciting, As the taste of rare old wine. Lining two or more fine fellows, In the range of my old gun. At its fire to see them tumble, Aa they two or more were one. You flne fellows in the city. Never know the pride and joy. Which then fills the heaving bosom, Of the farmer-hunter boy Call it "murder" if you want to, Not a fig for that care I; It makes not the sport less pleasant, Nor less sweet the chicken pie. Farmer Boy. Kindness and Buckwheat Tames Q jail. A correspondent of the New York San, writing from Scrauton, Pennsylvania, gives an interesting account of th« manner in which a flock of quail were tamed. Kindness and buckwheat are said to have accomplished the result as the following description of the manner in which the work was done attests: Mrs. N. D. Snyder, of Jefferson township, saw a lot of quail dusting themselves under some currant bashes in the back end of her garden. The birds looked so happy and con- tented that she thought it would be too bad to rtistnrb them, go she returned to the house without pulling the weeds ont of a patch of onions that she had gone there for the parpose of doing. In an hour or so tbe quails had disappearad in the tall timothy of the adjourning meadow, and 31 s Sayder scattered some buckwheat around where they had been wal- lowiog. On the following day the birds came there again, gobbled up the buckwheat and had a gjod time. Every day lor a week or so Mrs. Snyder scattered grain among the buBhes for the qaails to feed on, and the birds soon got so ' that they looked for food in the garden as regularly as they did for a resting place at night out in the woods, baok of the big meadow lot. One morning the kind hearted woman forgot to throw the buckwheat, but the quails reminded her of her negligence by appearing at the usual hour and making a great fuss and noise be-jause there wasn't any grain in the garden for them to pick up. Mrs. Snyder let the birds hunt for other kinds of food that day, and for several mornings after that she didn't fail to give them a good feed of buckwheat. Then she missed a morning to see bow the quails would act when they didn't tind any grain near the currant bushes, watching from a second story window for them to make their appear- ance. Promptly on time the whole flock crept nnder the garden fence from the meadow, ran among the bashes and began to dodge and flutter abont where they had been in the babii of finding the buckwheat. When they had searched long enongh to learn that no grain had been put fiere for tnem the birds piped in low tones, fluttered uneasily, scattered into the vegetable beds and appeared to be very much disappoint- ed. In a little while the quails gave a p the search, assem- bled under the currant bushes and went to dusting them- selves in the soil. Mrs. Sayder counted fourteen in the flock, and then Bhe went downstairs, got a basinful of buckwheat and tiptoed her way into the garden. When she had got as near to the quails as she conld go without scaring them Mrs. Snyder rlang a handful of buck- wheat toward the quiet little flock. It fell among them, and all scrambled under the fence and went out of sight in a hurry. Then she threw some more of the grain on the ground where they had been, and secreted herself behind a row of pea vines. Presently one of the birds ventured to crawl under the fence into the garden. It soon found the buckwheat and set to filling its crop, and at this the other birds took courage, filed fiom their hiding places and went to picking up the grain as though each was determined to get its share From her place of concealment Mrs. Snyder flung a hand- ful of buckwheat into the air so that it fell into the midst of the flock. It scared the birds a little, but they quickly re- sumed their feeding, and Mrs Snyder began to whistle to them, flinging more grain into the air as she whistled. That excited their curiosity just enough to make them look up for a moment, aud Mrs. Snyder emptied the basin and stole away, without letting the birds see her. She fed the quails in this way for a few days, gradually got them used to her whistle and voice, and let them get sight of her by degrees. Inside of a month from the time she first saw the birds in the garden she had them so well tamed that they fluttered out of the meadow whenever she called them, ate in her pres- ence and did not seem to fear her at all. Since then Mrs. Snyder has taken a good deal of comfort with her strange little flock, and she said the other day that the confidence the birds have in her pays her many times over for all the trouble Bhe has made herself in getting the wild little creat- ures to be as tame as they are. extreme, there can be no doubt of that, but I have killed every epecies of large game, aud I now prefer the easier and to me better sport with dog aud birds." "I remember one fall,'' he continued, "when I spent some three months in the mountains with a friend. We had our camp away out, some seventy-five miles or more from Rollins, in the very wildest mountain districts of thflt region." ''On tbat hunt I killed the largest grizzly bear it has ever been my fortune to meet with. The morning was lowering, and gave every evidence of a heavy fall of enow. After I had been out from camp Bonie time, in tbe vain attempt to get a shot at a mountain lion, which I had tracked several times unsuccessfully, I was returning to cam p just as the air was being tilled with large white flakes, that came down ts steadily and silently as could be imagined." "I was coming along the side of a very deep ravine, the rocky sides of which were well nigh perpendicular, when I beard a growl that caused me to look about apprehensively. I fioally looked into the ravine, and there, reared upon bis hind legs stood the largest grizzly I ever beheld. I took in the situation and calculated that I could put considerable distance between myself and the great brute, even should my first shot prove ineffectual. "I leveled my rifle, which was an uncommon heavy Gne, carrying a large bsll and waited a moment until the bear had lowered his head so I could get a good square shot. I then pulled the trigger, and waiting not even to note the effect of my shot ran at the top of my speed to more elevated groond, but did not stop until I reached camp, where I awaited the return of my companion. "We then together cautiously returned and cnuld discover no place about tbe ravine where the bear had left it, and much to my surprise we found it laying dead where I shot it. The ball had literally torn his skull clean off, dashing out his brains, having struck him just above the eyes, but with a downward slant. I have the robe yet. "The mountain lion, to which I above refer, was killed by me the next day. "I managed to reach him in this way. I had learned by tracking him that he always crossed a ravine on a large fallen pine, which I would not attempt to cross as it was many feet below to tbe bottom of the gorge. "I sent my companion to track him while I secreted myself within shot of this fallen tree. I did not have to wait long for his comiog. He walked out on the log and st pped, presenting a beautiful picture as he lashed his long t ill from side to side. The pause was fatal to him, as it gave me an easy shot from my concealment, and I sent a ball crashing through his body jast back of his fore legs, ai d he fell in a heap at the bottom of the ravine. "This is the only mountain lion I killed during my whole mountain experience, as they are exceedi gly cautioaB, their keen scent enabling them to slip away from the hunter when pursued." Count "Kreutzer Sonata" and the Bear. An incident is related of the now celebrated Count Tolstoi, showing that the cunning hand, which has so marvelously wielded the pso as to set the civilized world agog, showing that he is somewhat of a novice in bear honting. The inci- dent related shows how near he came losing his life, which he would have done bat for his presence of mind. He went out on a bear hunt with some of his friends, and, after selecting a spat which cimmauded a good view of the surrounding grounds, some of the more experienced hunters suggested that the snow had better be trampled down so tbat it would be easier for them to move about and get out of Biu- in's way and have time enough to t ike a shot at him if he should come upon them unexpectedly. The Count, however, although up to his waist in the snow, objected to this and said that it was entirely unnecessary, since the whole thing consisted of shooting the bear and not wrestling with him. They did not have to wait long, for the bear, which had just risen from its lair, was walking along to get out of the way of the hunters when it suddenly stepped out into the open space directly in front of Tolstoi. Ho coolly took aim and fired, but the ball, for some reason or other, went wide of its mark. Taking aim again he fired, this time hitting the bear in the head, and the uallet lodged in the lower jaw, and of coarse only made a very irritating wound, which made the bear so savage that, taking a few jumps, he was upon Tolstoi before he wa3 able to realize it. Just as the bear came close enough to him, he dropped down, and of course the bear went right over his body. Tol- stoi's whole body sunk into the deep snow, and the only part that remained exposed was his head, which the bear tackled as soon as he had recovered from his surprise in see- Tolstoi disappear 'so suddenly. Tolstoi did his best to pnsh his head down as low as pos- sible, and elevated his fur cap for the bear to bite. Twice the savage animal snapped at it, ana then discovering his mistake, made a bite deeper down, this time taking a piece of flesh from the Count's right cheek. Just at this moment his comrades returned, and by their loud yells succeeded in driving away the bear, who very slowly turned his back upon the hunters and walked into the woods, master of the situation. The Last of a Noble Race- Dr. A. De Monco's Grizzly and Lion- Some weeks ago I called on Dr. A. Da Monco, of Denver, and as our wont. wa3 soon engaged in talking of dog and gun. Tbe Doctor has a fine pointer. Don, by name, of which he had just cause to be proud. In speaking of the fine quail fields of Texa3, the Doctor at once becani9 a most attentive listener, and tinallv decided that he must take his fall outing in that State. "Where are you goiog?" he inquire.], and when we told him that we preferred the mountain districts and the more exciting chase after large game, he said: "I have got over all that. You know I spent teD years in the Rookies, in Wyom- ing, Montana and Colorado. The sport is exciting in the The interior department ha* recently communicated with acting Governor M-lburn of Wyoming, relative to the where- abouts and safety of a band of about seventy buffalo, that escaped from the Yellowstone National Park in July, tie- ports have beon received stating that the herd has been s^en in the valley of the Big Horn and the region of the Red Desert, between Rawlins and the Shoshone Indian reserva- tion . Hunting parties have b<*en formed to go out and attempt their recapture but so far reported have been unsuccessful. It is proposed that a large party be organized by the state authorities, under the direction of the state authorities for the purpose of driving them back to the park. This will afford a last opportunity, perhaps, for the splen- did sport of chasing these, tbe sole remaining representatives of a race of animals, which, but a few years ago, existed on the great plains, in immense herds, namberiug thousands upon thousands. The country through which they will have to be driven, presents the wildest and most picturesque sceoery of any to be found on the oontinent. It is to be feared that the In- dians in disregard of law may have discovered and slain many of them. This herd is said to contain the only buffalo in the conn- try in n wild state. We sincerely trast that they m*v be returned to the park and preserved by-tbe government in a slate as near that of their original condition as possible. It would be nD irrepar- able loss should they be permitted to stray away and fall a prey to the Indians and hunters of the country. Practical and Impractical Spc r'smanship. . It is somewhat remarkable to notice the tenacity and un- weilding firmness with which many hunters adhere to a cer- tain brand or make of gan. This is easily accounted for, outside of any moving cause whiob might tend to bias or pedjudice their jadgment in the matter. The continued use of a certain patern, whioh under ail circumstances gives to the user good satisfaction, is cause enough for the high encomums which he may choose to heap upon the inventor and manufacturers of his chosen weapon. But when anyone, in this day of advanced science in gun making, takes ths unqualified position that this or that brand of gnu is the very best one in the market, he only suc- ceeds in cauBiog a smile to spread ov6r the countenance of his readers, who. while they may admire his enthusiasm, are compalled to feel that his judgment is based on limited experience. It is almost needless to say to the average sportsman that there are a large number of guns of well nigh equal merit for field use. Improvements are being made so rapidly that the gunner of to-day no sooner discovers a point where improve- ment can be made, than he sees such improvement has actually been made. Gun making, it would appear, in now well nigh perfected, and the discussion of sportsmen seems to be turned to the question of the penetrative force, which a given quantity of the several powders may give to shot or ball. The discussion, made interesting by actual demonstration and numberless tests, has long since carried the subject be- yond the range of practical field work and made it a matter of mere speculative interest. In this, as in a great deal of the work of our desk or theoretical hunters, whose most dan* gerous weapons are a number two soft faber. or tbe ordinary steel pen, the battle wages hot and fierce. Straw game is set up and knocked down by shots which are models of skill- ful marksmanship. The practical hunter, in the mean time, is fouDd, all ob- livious of these all important matters, going right on. bag- ging more game, ten to one, than the whole improved and pre-eminently scientific association of hunters. To him a gun is a gun, and powder is powder. His ob- ject is. to shoot something and he usually succeeds. It is undoubtedly true, that the great majority of the game of the country is killed by men who would miss fifty per cent of the Peoria black-birds or glass balls, when thrown from a trap, and this too with a cheap gun of an inferior brand or no brand at all — just Bimply a gun. We do not write depreciatingly of good guns, far from it, for we are as partial to a superior gun, as anyone can be, and recognize and appreciate the improvements of recent years made in their manufacture. The practical situation re- mains unchanged, however, which is that the practical work in the field is too frequently overshot by the majority of or- ganized sporting bodies in their efforts to improve it. The Art of Shooting. By Charles Lancaster, gunmaker. Second edition now ready. An illustrated treitise on the art of shooting, with extracts from the best authorities, containing fnll-page explanatory illustrations, sketched from instantaneous and other photom-aphs. Price. 7m, 6(1; postage, 6 d extra. Published by Chaeles Lascasteb, 151 New Bond Street London, W. Some parties report the quail shooting to have been very fine at Point San Pedro. . Messrs. Bosqui, Kettle and Orr almost repeated their per- formance of last Sunday, bringing in about 125 quail. Mr. E. H. Brigg3 was out at Throckmorton's ranch but se- cured only about a dozen and a half of birds and found the tramping hard work. Some of the hunters complain that the birds are growing quite shy. This is well. Good scores will now begin to indicate good marksmanship. Local sportsmen had a hot time of it on last Sunday. The day was too warm for both man and dog; however, a num- ber of good bags were made on quail. Mr. A. S. Sage, of Canon City, Colo'rado, forwards a com- munication to a gentleman at Pueblo conveying the intelli- gence, and describing how he killed two bears at one shot. The ball, fired from a 45 — 70 Winchester went through the first and broke tbe spine of the second one. A lucky and remarkable shot indeed. Mr. J. A. B. Elliott, of Kansas City.seems to be tbe champ- ion shot at live birds. "We would much love to see he and I\r. Carver come together in a match at 100 live birds. The chances would be almost even. In a recent match for 51,000 a side Elliott beat Edgar G. Murphy by a score of 93 to 88, out af 100 birds, live of Elliott's birds falling out of bounds, killed by second barrel puri osely. The Southern Bportsmm °re having some of the finest woodcook shooting this fall tta'. they have ever known. The high waters have driven the birds from th? low lands to the upper aud more open fields where they present far easier shooting than that presented while in their usual haunts. There is no finer sport for eitber man or dog, than that pre- sented by these birds. Judging from advice* from all over the country, it would seem that the principal shooting for the future will be confined to quail and migratory birds. It is wonderful to note how com- pletely tbe prairie chickens have vanished from the districts in which they were so well known but a few years aRo. They do not seem to take to civilization with anything like . ;the good grace which marks the quail. The latter seem to multi- ply rapidly whenever given > an opportunity, but not so with the chicken. It would seem that the pheasant could be bred more easily thao most any other bird, id districts soiled t i its ii.it are and thus we cm rely np-m having a di- version of sport. In this State, it is believed that the con- dition-' are most f ivorable for the introduction of pheasants of different spacies, onr varviDg altitudes and temperatures being such as to allow the birds to seek homes approximating their native countries more nearly than that of almost auy other State in tbe Union. Tbe valleyF, tablelands or moon- lain districts are open to them, with spots of tangled cops? for shelter aud seclusion. It is to be hoped that our sporl*- men will take liberal advantage of these favorable oircnm stances and push the work to a successful issue. 414 d and smelt being especially plentiful. Oyster Culture on the Coast. The Astoria Pioneer, speaking of the oyster beds of this . coast has the following to say of the industry: With the advent of a railroad to Wallapa harbor.the oyster i business of Shoalwater bay will be increased to immense < proportions. The title to the vast shoals is said not to be i clear at present, but the question will shortly be settled, when it is eaid that the business of transporting oysters from the east will be engaged in largely. Nowhere in the country are the prospects so good in this respect, and there is com-, paratively little expense connected with the growing of the i bivalves in that section. In San Francisco bay the beds L ;ve to be protected from the raidB of the deadly enemy of the < oyster, the stiogeree, by a fence extending for mile after mile, while in Pacific county there is only the star fish to < contend with, and those can easily be killed at low tide. Thai stingeree, on the contrary, comes and goes with the tide, and consequently can pursue his depredations with imponity. Thousands of dollars are speut annually in Sin Francisco by the Morgan company in keeping their fences in good con* dition, and this fact, in addition to the greater cost of trans* portaton to the Sound, where there is a large market to be supplied, ia an important factor in favor of Shoalwater bay The difference in the lime reqaired to reach the SonDd cities is also favorable to WashiDgtjn business, the fish arriving in much better condition. This trade will yet contribute largely to the development and welfare of Pacific county. An Immense Run of Salmon- The Tacoma Ledger of the 23rd has fhis to say of salmon fishing in tbat region: "The bay is alive with salmon and the fishermen are tak- ing more than they can dispose of. At 10 o'clock yesttrdaj morning the Tacoma Fishing company's men cast their net off Bhore mar the fish house, and Burronnded at least leu tons of the big fellows. From the time the draw strings were closed in making prisoners of the sa'mon the sport was mo6t exciting, and it wbb nearly 5 o'clock before the last fish was clear of the net. They were given away by the boat load to any one who hap- pened along and then tbere were more than the fishermen could handle. The fishers brought four boat loads to shore, the lot aggregating S700 pounds. All the available space in and around the fish house is piled high with bi_; fat salmon ranging from twenty to thirty pounds in weight. The quan- tity ia so great that Hume says that he will eitber have to sell a portion of them for little or nothing or give them away. Nearly five tons were turned loose from the net. They will probably be caught again to-day. " The Splendid Salmon Catch. The Seattle Press, speaking of the fishing interests of that section sayB: "From time to time during the past fish- ing season the Vancouver Truth bas informed its readers of the large amount of fresh salmon on ice that was being shipped eastwards over the Canadian Pacific from this city by express to the markets, and it gives the totul amount of shipments by Messrs. D. W. Port & Co. and W. H. Yiaoen, our wholesale dealers, both of whom have had a considerable number of men employed in the industry. Nearly every station along the C. P K. from west to east has been sap- plied by either one of the firms, the largest markets being Winnipeg, Toron'o, Montreal and New York. Most of the consignments of Port & Co. are sent to their Toronto bouse, from which place the salmon are distributed throughout On- tario and New York state an i city. The total number of pounds forwarded by both firms during six months is as near as can be calculated about SOO.OOO lbs. or 400 tons, valued at about $40 000. This amount is about equally divided be- tween the two firms as far as shipments are concerned, and is over twice as much a- exported any other year in the same manner. Daring the three years since the shipments began, the shipments increased from about 20,000 lbs. the first year. The outlook for next year is exceedingly bright, and if the salmon run well, it is said tbat two other firms will begin operations in this line in this city, so that the competition may possibly be keen. Sawdust in the Columbia River. The Paktawet Gazette has this to say of the wanton de- struction of the fishing intersets in the Columbia river by the sawmill interests: "An unusually large quantity of sawdust is found floating in the river at present, Two fishermen from Waterford called at onr office recently to state that the sawdust was piling up on the banks and damaging fishing. This is a matter that needs the attention of our fish com- missioner, as the sawdust is very detrimental to fishing in- terests, besides forming almost insurmountable obstacles to navigation in the shape of bars which it is almost impos- sible to remove. There is a strict law against dumping saw- dust in the river which should be enfo:o d. Salmon fishing is reported ns being exceedingly fine, all along the coast this fall. Some accounts of remarkably fine catches with the hook and line comes from Tacoma. The bay at that point is said to be literally swarming with these splendid fish which bite eagerly and afford much sport to the anglers in landing them in the boat. A great deal of care is necessary in landing a good sized salmon, as their months are exceedingly tender and »dj hand, save that of an experienced fisherman, is apt to poll so eagerly as to break the bold of the book. Gentleness, ski" and patience Is required to land a salmon. An exchange relates the following anecdote of the late Captain Dunn: ''On the night of his demise, and within a few honrs of the time of his tragio ending be talking with a knot of Fraser river salmon canners. He v as usual brim full of fun, put he presently pot on a very t rious countenance and said: 'I have noticed, gentlemen, that! before you put fish in the cans yon always remove the tails. This not much to be wondered at, for the tail is really rot a palatable part of the fish. But the thing that puzzles mo to understand is that as soon as yon have removed tbe tails and sealed the cans you go to great pains and expense to send the fish across the ocean to London to have them retailed! An explosion of lond laughter testified that tbe la*t j >ke of the gallant and lamented captain, told with all that praoky humor, which distinguished the man, had succeeded." 1890 %hz Ilrate and j$ povtevtmn. 415 GEAND OPENING Trotting and pacing races aie divided in four | moneys— 5ft, 25, 15 and 1U per cent, of puree.

Volley, out of the imp mare Lady Vivian by Strathco- nan, won five stakes at two years old, out of six starts, being beaten by Lonsdale in the Maribyrnong Plate. At three years she won the Oaulfield Guineas, and the V. R.C.St. Leger, beating Pearl Shell and Melos. Pearl Shell, out of the imp mare Pearl Ash hy Lord Clif- den, won the A. J. 0. Oaks, and ran second to Melos for the Derby. She also beat Volley and Bonnie Speo for the V. R. C. Oaks of the Batne year. From the imported mare Locket by Thunderbolt, Musket got Necklace, Thunderbolt and Necklet, all good goers in good company. Necklet won the Maribyrnong Plate, the greatest two year old race run south of the Equator, Thun- derbolt was a capital performer up to a mile and a half, and is now one of the favorite New Zealand sires. He won six oonseoutive races at two years old. Krnpp and Tranter were both magnificent looking horses but hardly realized expectations based noon their showy ap- pearances. Tranter lost the V. R. C. Derby of 1887, won by the Australian Peer, by sheer bad riding. He heat Mentor and Pakeha oleverly for the Maiden Plate, and was sold to Mr. W. R. Virgoe for Btud purposes. Maxim, out of imp Realization by Vespasian, was of the same clasB as Trenton and Martini Henry. He won four times out of six Btarts as a two year old, being beaten by Abercorn lor the Sires' Produce Stakea and for the Cham- pagne Stakes by Matador. At three years he won five con- secutive raoes, and wound up by beating the great Nelson for the Canteibury Cup, 2J miles. Tetford, brother to Krupp and Tranter, won two raceB out of four at three years old, one of whioh was the Wanganuj Cup of two miles and a distance. He won two good handi- caps in the following year. Carbine is, however, by long odds, the best son of Musket over all distances and at all weights. In his two year old form he started five times and never lost. As a three year old he won nine times out of twelve starts, being beaten by Ensign for the V. R. C. Derby, by Lochiel for the Australian Cup, and by Abercorn for the Autumn Stakes at Sydney. He afterwards beat Abercorn and Lochiel each three times. At foor years old he won nine raoes out of thirteen starts, be- ing beaten twice by Daadnooght, once by Melos (three miles) and in the Melbourne Cup by Bravo, an aged horse, carrying 119 lbs., while Carbine carried 140 and was beaten the short- est of heads. He has since won two rich weight-for-aga races at Sydney, and ia favorite for the great Melbourne Cup, notwithstanding he has to carry 145 pounds. We be- lieve he can carry 140 and beat any horse in the United States with 135, not excepting Salvator, Firenzi, Tourna- ment or Kingston, at any distance over a mile. Manton, ont of Tres Deuce by Traducer (sire of the great Sir Modred and Cheviot), won only one out of four starts at two years old, being beaten thrice by Carbine. As a three year old he won six ont of nine raceB, including the Canter- bury Cup, 2i miles, in wbioh he beat Lochiel and Chain Shot. He was subsequently beaten a head by Lochiel for the Auckland Plate, two miles, the great Nelson being third. In his four year old form be started but three times and was second twice to Abercorn aud once to Melos. Tartar, ont of the imported mare Steppe by Saunterer, may be fairly called an unlucky horse. He started eleven times and won Dut once, although he never ran out of a place. Tirailleur, out of imported Florence McCarthy by Maca- roni, ran four timeB unplaced as a two-year-old. In his three-year-old form he ran nine times and was first on all ocoasions, winning both the New Zealand and the Canterbury Cups, a task to which neither Lochiel nor Nelson were equal. Fonl Shot, out of Slander by Traducer, was a consistent performer, although his efforts were confined exclusively to the New Zealand traoks. He is now owned near Lyttelton, where he is regarded as one of the coming sires. Take him for all in all, Musket was to New Zealand what Lexington was to America; and why no one has seen fit to import one of his sons to America, is one of the nnrevealed mysteries. Senator Hearst has five entire horses, of whioh Tournament is the only one equal to his mares; and there are twelve stallions at the Raucho del Paso, of whioh a! least seven could be sold at a profit to their owner, no matter what was the price realized. Even at Palo Alto the running stallions are manifestly inferior to the mareB; and at Santa Anita, the Emperor is wholly untried, although a marvellous race horse, while Grinstead mopes about the paddocks, reduced to the mere shadow of a great name. All this time the semi-insolvent colony of New Zealand offers bargains to intending purchasers, such as can be found in no other part of the world. Even if a man could not afford to pay $20,000 for Nordenfelt at the coming January sale (and I have no idea that he will go for an? thing leFs), there are Manton, Hotchkiss, Brigadier, Fusillade, Tranter and Maxim, anv of whioh can be had for $5,000; and as there is no son of Musket in the United Btates, suoh a horse oan earn his way out in one year at Lexington oi Nashville and then be brought back to California to stand by private contraot. Ik would take $20 000 to buy Martini-Heory, in my belief: and it is possible that even that liberal offer would be refused, as the White family are by no means short of money. Already two of Musket's sons have shown themselves to be worthy successors of their great sire, and it is quite evident to me that there are others whose soions will be earning brackets before the olose of 1S91; and it will not do to wait till they are old and superannuated, and then begin talking about what ni'ght have been accomplished if anyone in Cali- fornia had possessed suffioiebT enterprise to import one. Just as it looks to me now, the season of 1891 will open with only two really tried and valuable sires— Wildidle and Chev- iot— open to the breeding public Darebin, Sir Modred and Saviour are virtually private Btallions, and Emperor of Nor- folk and Argyle will, in all probability, be kept for the exclu- sive servioe of their owners. Hence there is a chiir.ee for a good investment on suoh a horse as Hotchkiss, Fusillade or Manton. T.B.M. ♦-— ' — John Madden, an old trotting horse owner, has bought Kenwood and Folsom for $15,000. Folsom is a beautifully bred uolt, being by Falsetto oat of Semper Felix, the dam of the unbeaten Leonatus. Here ie one of a few grandly bred oolta to whom we may look for the sires of the future. The truth is that we breed raoe horses every year, but we only breed sires about twioe or three times in a centnry. 1890 %ht %xzzikzx atxtl J>pxrrfsroatt. 423 The Ventura Races. Friday, October 24th, was the initial day of the meeting of the Ventnra races, and it is to be regretted that a larger attendance was not present, as the sport was exceedingly good; however, it most be born in mind that at present the farming community of that section are too bnsy looking after the lima beans, and they cannot find time to attend the sport of the kings. Last year thousands and thoosands of dollars were lost to this valley owing to the elements, and it behooves the farmer to do everything he can this year to make up for the losses of the past. The jndgeB of the day were N. H. Johnston and T. R. More of Santa Barbara, their associate being 0. C. Carle of Ventura. The first race was a mile and a quarter, for a purse of $200; the only starters being Othello and Minuet, the lat- ter 6elliDg as choice in the pool bos at $10, the supporters of Othello fteliDg that the chances of their horse was only worth $4. The Rose b'lly looked in perfect condition, and fully warranted the faith of her backers by winning a good race in 2:16$. It must be remembered that while this time looks 6low on paper, it was. exceedingly good for a half-mile track, especially when it was taken into consideration that the traok was rather heavy. It is to be regretted that the promoters got no more encouragement from the people, as they have worked assiduously towards making the meeting a success, It is altogether probable that if the track were length- ened to a mile, that thoae who live in this vicinity would give the management better support, and we rather fancy i' would warrant the outlay.

The second race was a half-mile and repeat, for Ventura county horses, in which started Ulpiano, ridden, by Tonie, Bird by Ha-itiugs, Red Girl by El. Ulpiano sold for $10, Bird for $6 and Red Girl for $15. The horses were started after some delay, as Ulpiano acted badly.

Kaiser and Mr. Bennet left no stone untamed for the comfort of the horses and visitors. They deserve credit for their management and their desire to please all. Their purses were liberal, and it is unfortunate that the attendance on both days were so poor. A half-mile track will not draw people, and as the track at Ventura has been so freely patronized that no money can be put out, as no returns are promised. Hoeneme, in Ventura county, has the great track south of San Franoisco. Next year there will be a week's racing at Hueneme, and purses will be offered that will be inducements for first-claBS race horses. T. M. October 28, 1890. ^ The Texas Derby. SUMMARY. W. H.

There was a large number of entries, but the wonderful speed shown by Lonnie B dur- ing the summer had caused all of the horses to be declared out except Guido, and when he appeared the spectators knew there would be a race sure. The account given below is taken from the Dallas Morning News, and to be brief, will simply say that the first money was a trifle over $5,000. The Derby. Now the racers are at the poBt, and Mr. Funck, with his bit of bunting in his hand, is waiting impatiently for them to get on even terms so that he may come in for no share of condemnation from the losers. He has not long to wait; there is a sudden flish of color and a bit of red hashes per- pendicularly through the dusty air. "They're off" comes in a ohorns from thousands of throats, and then a deep silence ensues as the noble rasers sweep around the first curve, with Guido on the iaside, and both animals neck and neck. En- tering the straight the first time Lonnie B took the rail, but again Guido came up, and the two raced neck and neck past the grand stand, amid the admiring plaudits of the crowd "Phew! bo* they are going!" Bays an onlooker; and the dusty track seems to fairly fly from under the horses, so ter- rific is the epte •. Lonnie Bis now slightly in front, and Myers is just rating him along. Smith keeps Guido well at his hindquarters, and watches Myers with anxious eye. Around the turn they sweep in a cloud of dust, and in the same position. Smith is seen to urge Gnido as they get to the backstretch, and like a flash the winner of the Rocky Mountain handicap closes up the half length that separated him from Lonnie B, and a BRCond later has opened up the least little bit of daylight between himself and his pursuer. "Look at Guido leave him," shouted a hundred enthusi- astic Guido partisans. "Not much," answered the admirers of Lonnie B., as Myeis lets out a link and resumes his old position a short half head in front of Guido. The place is getting hotter; faster and faster the swift racers travel, and the far turn is reached with the pair run- ning so close that a blanket would have covered them. Now the battle royal has begun. The stable boys lining the fence on the turn can see the jockeys take a firmer wrap on the rein. A grim look of determination BettleB on both their faces, and they feel that they have a horse race before them. On and on they sweep and neither shows any sign of weak- ening yet, and the enthusiasm of the spectators is aroused to boiling point. The spectatois, men and women, mount chairs and railings to get a view of the graDd struggle. On the far turn Smith lets out a link on Guido, and his parti- sans shout that all is over as he opens up a gap and forces Myers to begin to ride hard with Lonnie B. "Look at Guido go away," shout hiB delighted backers. Myers redoubles his exertion, but as they sweep into Bight Guido is three lengths in front of Lonnie B. "Guido wins in a walk," is the cry, but it was a trifle too soon, for under Myers' yigorous riding Lonnie B. began to gain slightly. Crack, crack came the catgut on Lonnie B. 'a side, and be went forward like a shot out of a gun. Smith saw the move and was prepared for it. "See him come, 6ee him come!" shouts the crowd as Lonnie B. came up the canter of the track. Soon the Bound of the horses's hoofbeats could be heard by the thousands in the grand stand, Men'B faces were blanohed white and hard with sympathy or money interest; women sobbed hys- terically and laughed and shouted. Then came a time when people hold their breath, when they live only in the eye and ear, when the lungs are strained and still, and when the heart ceases its pulsing and hammers the brain with quick, hard blood beats". That patter of tho hoof beatB growing louder, finally helps to loosen the tension. It is an audible evidence of the great race, and the hush that hangs on the silent struggle at the far turns is broken as the animals are booming home. Myers is riding like a devil, and now the multitude can see him plunge the wioked spurs into tbe heaviog ribs of the willing brute he strides. With a bound tbe game colt starts forward, and as he does not collar the leader fast enough he gets the whip in unlimited doses. TJp to this tirue Smith bad been sitting like a statue, but as Lonnie B. began to gain slowly he had to exert himself and ride for all he knew how. Myers fairly seems to lift hie horse, but ride hard as he might he was not able ti overtake the leaier, and the assembled thousands are yelling like mad bb the horses paBB under the wire, Guido two lengths: in front. Only an Old Plug. The Stockton Mail is responsible for the following story, whioh is certainly readable, if not true: A stranger dropped into Oakdale the other day. He wore a torn felt hat, had a two weeks' stubble on his face and was very bayseedy. He drove a raw-boned old horse hitched to a rickety Bpring vehicle, a little barley and some old cans. His plug hobbled along through the streets to a livery stable. On reaching tbe stable the stranger alighted olumsily, got the tangles out of his legs and, approaching the stable man asked: "Kin I put my hoss here tonight, Mister?" "Certainly." "Yer ain't goin' fer ter charge mor'n a dollar, are yer?" ■*No, that'll be all right.'' "Be keerful of him now, Mister, 'cause that a mighty valuerable animal, that is, and he's kinder sick now. He aint feelin' right smart, and I want yer ter take good care of him, Mister." "Where are you g^ing?" "Oh, I'm goin' up here fer ter look after some stock. Say, take good care of that 'ar hoss, now. I'll be round by sunup and see how he's gettin' along. I'm mighty Borry about that 'ar h03s takin' sick, because he's got good stuff in him; he's a goer, he is." The stranger went out into the yard of the stable, where his wagon was put, and, as it was growing dark, lay down under the vehicle and fell asleep. The stableman repeated the old fellow's remark that there was "good Btaff'* in the dilapidated plug, and the joke Bpread about town. It was decided to have some fun tbe following day at the old man's expense, and a citizen of Copperopolis who owns a fast horse and who chanced to be in Oakdale jumped at the opportunity of getting the hayseed to stake money on his plug's speed . Early the following morning several persons were waiting at the stable when the stranger appeared. He bad already examined his steed in the stall, and was asked how the ani- mal was getting along. "Oh, tolerable middlin','1 said the old fellow, stroking his tobacco-frescoed chin beard; "he's a-feelin' pooty good fer a hoss that's nigh eighteen year old . I reckon as how he'll get over ther ground right smart when I start out to-day." "Is he fast?" ohipped in one of the group. "Wall, he does pooty good fer an old hoss." "What do you say to a race?" "Bring on yer plug! I've got the stuff to back me." The Copperopolis man, who was expecting the Bummons, was sent for, and a match of $250 a side was made at once. The stranger borrowed a Petaluma cart from the stableman and hitched up. Then he remarked "as how" he'd like a new whip, butj" 'lowed" that a fresh willow stick was good enough for him, and accordingly procured one from a tree as they passed aloDg to the race grounds. After scoring two or three times and getting his plug warmed up the stranger sent him off at a pace which nearly paralyzed the spectators with surprise. The animal cut oat the work for the Copperapolis horse and won the race in three straight heats. The straDger pocketed the $250, hitched up and drove out of town in his rickety spring wagon as unconcernedly as he had entered the place. It was afterwards learned that the old fellow was a veteran turfman and that his "plug" has a record of 2:20. The pair have been traveling all the way from Eureka, and it is sup- posed that every town on the line has been taken in as was Oakdale. The turfman is going by the name of Fields. The Copper- opolis man whom he so shamefully deceived is Doc Shumake. The Goldsmiths. There are very few of the present generation of horsemen who can remember the time when the name of Goldsmith was not prominently identified with the trotting horse inter- ests, both in a breeding and racing way, says the Horse World. Many years ago Alden Goldsmith set out to demonstrate to the unbelieving publio that his horse Volunteer was a Bire of race horses. How well he succeeded in his undertaking is a matter of history, but a less determined man woula have been discouraged by the bitter prejudice shown by many of the leading breeders towards the get of Volunteer. He brought ont one after the other such great race horses as Denver, 2:19$, Gloster, 2:17, Bodine, 2:19J, Alley, 1:19, Hun- tress, 2:20f, and Powers, 2:21, each one of which proved to be the gamest of campaigners, and to show that they trained on with the best, it will only be necessary to state that the six horses mentioned have 435 heats in 2:30 or better to their credit. With Buch a man for a father, it is no wonder that his two sons are as successful as they are in developing trot- ters. John, the elder sou, has this season the leading stable of money winners on the Pacific CoaBt. He has given five thTee-year-olds records of 2:18 or better, something never accomplished by any other trainer. The live referred to are foio Mai3, 2:14, Rupee, 2:16$, Segal Wilkes, 2:17$. Lillian Wilkes, 2:17}, and Sable Wilkes, 2:18. He is this stasoD driving a phenomenal string, and he intendB before the close of the season to drive Stamboul a mile faster than 2:11 as well as to put a yearling colt into the 2;30 list. This latter feat is looked upon aa impossible by many, but he has already driven this yearling a half in 1:11, and the chances are that he will at least btat the present yearling record of 2:315 before this seapon closes. [We are glad to say that he has already accomplished the feat of putting a yearling in the 2:30 list.— Ed. Breeder and Sportsman.] The younger son "Gentleman James," as he is oalled, occupies as high a position among the Eastern trainers as his brother does in tbe West, for this seaaon he drove one of the most successful s'ables ever seen on the tracks of the grand circuit. With such horses as Pamlico, 2:165, Mam- brino Maid, 2:17J, Simmocolon, 2;19, and many of less note he has met aDd defeated the best horses of their class, and the winnings of his stable will undoubtedly foot np as large or larger than those of any stable on the turf this year. Both John and James Goldsmith are men of brains, and are alwayB so gentlemanly aDd of such modest demeanor that there are none to envy, but everyone stands ready to con- gratulate them on the well-deserved success which they have attained in their chosen profession. One dollar a year will cover your dootor's bill if you tek Simmon's Liver Regulator. 424 ^ptc grecdcv ami jlportswaw. Nov. 8 TUKF AND TRACK Marcns Daly's Bitter Root Farm is said by Montaoans to be tbe Palo Alto of the North. Knapsack McCarthy has been elected treasurer of the Trainers' and Jockeys' Association. Bndd Doble has turned over to Crit Da?iB, the grey geld- ing Jack, by Pilot Medium dam Carrie Russell by Magna Charta. Goldsmith drove the two year old Vida Wilkes three heat3 test Mooday, the first heat in 2:S2, the nest in 2:22£, and the test in 2:21. John A. Goldsmith has, durirjg the past season, driven twenty-eight winners, not counting walk-overs and matches against time. W. H. Wilson, of Abdallab Park, Cynthiana, has sold to United States Treasurer J. X. Hnstonthe great show stallion Jubilee de Jarnette 5105. Charles Marvin gave Palo Alto an easy mile in 2:17. Sunol was driveo a mile in 2:15. The bay mare is confidently ex- pected to trot in 2:10 or better this afternooD. Giovanni, a bay yearling colt by Red Wilkes, dam by Aber- deen, has been bought by C. A. Cornforth of Rochester, Mion , of A. S. McCann of Lexington for $3,000. Owing to ill health Hon. W. L. Scott haB decided to sell his entire string of horses in training and also his yearlings. The sale will take place on the 20th of this month. The Horseman in speaking of the new President of the Saratoga Association says it will be Senator Hearst of Cali- fornia, a gentleman in all the word implies and an honor to the turf. The Horseman had last week as a frontispiece a picture of Los Angeles, E J. Baldwin's game five year old. The mare has, during her five years on the tnrf started in ninety-two races, winniDg forty-one. The chestnut wealing filly, by Kingfisher, dam imp. Prin- cess, by King Tom, died at Mr. A. Belmont's farm, in Ken- tucky. The youngster was a full sister to Prince Royal and a half sister to Her Highness. R. P. Ashe's crack sprinter Geraldine returned on the TJnaine Stables car last week. Whether she will race again or not we do not know but think the speedy Grinstead mare will be relegated to the paddock. The Santa Anita Stable will winter in the East this year, as we stated some time ago. The Emperor of Norfolk and several of the mare? have already returned to the ranch, and the big horse will this time retire to the fltud. L. B. X)u Bois has decided to leave his mare Moscova. 2:28$, in the State She is heavy in foal to Sidney, and will be bred to Stambonl next year, and then with a Sidney and a Stamboul, how can they beat me? pays the General. Last Saturday Goldsmith drove Stamboul a mile out in 2:14. and from the fearless way in which he trotted, Nelson's record is in serions danger, and with a good day and track Stamboul should this afternoon trot in 2:I0i or better. Adonis, Hickok'B crack pacer, is once more at the Bay but the boys says he needs a rest and is not the Adonis of yore, but it is safe to say that challenges will be scarce now for the Sidney crack is ever dangerous. Blood will tell. The Glenview Stock Farm's five-year-old stallion Egotist, lowered his record at Lexington to 2:22J. Egotist is by Electioneer from Sprite (dam of Sphinx 2;23 and Spry 2;28|) by Belmont 6t grandam the celebrated Waterwitch, dam of rive in the 2:30 list. Electioneer's 1S90 2:30 list now reads Snisnn 2;18£, Susette 2:23£, Electrictian 2:24£. Electricity 2:24£, Coral. 2:25. Ladywell 2:25, Fay 2.25, Conductor 2:251,, Colma 2:25j! Alma 2:2Si, May King 2:29, Aleck B. 2:29$ and Laura C 2:29|. Thirteen, and the season is not yet through. W. H. Wilson has bought for S2,300 of C H. Tenney, Methuen, Mass., a bay colt, foaled in 1S90 by Simmons, first dam Lady Rise by Sultan. Bec^nd dam Atalanta, and for $2,300 a black filly foaled in 1890. by Simmons, first dam, Genie by Saltan, Becond dam Lady Graves by Nutwood. Waroke's speedy filly Reclare was reported nearly dead a fortnight ago ia taking walking exercise apnin, A wire per- petrated the hoof and the foot swelled up to an enormous size. Dr. Shepherd, who was called in, was afraid of gan- grene setting in, but luckily the mare pulled through. Lord Feversham vary truly remarked at a meeting of the English Jockey Club some time ago, that such great horse* as Touchstone and the Flying Dutchman were not run off their legs at two year? old, and consequently tbeir turf career was twice as long as that of the crack race horses of io-day, yet they were not injured for the stud. WbileEast la^t BeaBon Messrs. Williams and Ramsdell, bought a yearling by Falsetto from Galanthis — a sister to Springbok, but the youngster was a little tired when the car reached Ogden, and be was left there, but will be brought on to Sacramento on the Haggin car, which was expected short- ly after. A rather peculiar entry in Wallace's Register has be^n noticed;in the Turf, Field and Farm. Aaron Pennington in Wallace's Year Book in the great table fignres among tbe P's as "Pennington' Aaron." Hnd he been put in his proper place he would have been tiretin the list of siras. He is a thor- oughbred!! Gorgo by Isonomy from Flirt by Hermit, etc, readB well and every one knows the mare never disgraced her ancentry, She is expected back on the Hearst car under Donathan's care. It will be interesting to note whether, after all. Sera- tor Stanford will breed her to Palo Alto. Bred as she is, with a racing pedigree all round, it seems worse than desecration to contaminate her with trotting blood. The thoroughbred yearlings sold at auction in America this year number 431. They brought the round sum of $383,400. an average of over S900. It would be an interesting study to keep track of the whole number next summer to ascertain whether their collective winnings would total as much as tbeir sale cost. P. Lorillard is makiog extensive improvements on his stock farm at Johnstown. N. Y., and in a couple of years his colors will be seen on almost every course. He is endeavoring to secure the services of Superintendent Pnckett of the Saratoga courpe, as he wishes to construct a new half mile track for training purposes. The Dwyer Bros, will race separately in future, the two firms being known as P. J. Dwver & Son, and M. F. Dwyer. The horses in training were offered at auction last Tuesday. Pbilip Dwyer paid S3O,0O0 for Kingston, while Hanover was knocked down to E. C. O'Reilly for $15,500, and Inspector B. at $10,000 returns to Belle Meade. The death is announced at Napanee of the chestnut s'allion War Cry, by War Dance. He was in his 20th or 21st year, and was brought into Canada from Kentucky in 1873 or '74 by Messrs. T. C. Patterson, A. Smith and C. F. Elmes, the last named becoming sole owner at the dissolution of the partnership, paying $2,500 for the horse. At the Messrs. Tatteraall's sale at Newmarket, England, Oct. 8th, the bay filly Democracy by St. Simon, ont of Morn- ing Glory by Silvio, her dam Anemone by Lord Clifton, out of Pulsatilla by Orlando, was bought by G. Barrett for $9, ISO. which we believe is the highest price ever paid for a weanling in England, and cheap at that. Chas. Reed's ill luck still continues. Last week the highly bred brood mare, imported British Beauty, by Oxford, dam Runaway, by Oalson or Stampedo. 2nd dam Gretna by Stockwell, died at Fairview. British Beauty was the dam of Cruiskeen, Brixa and the fast colt Timothy, and was valued very highly by Mr. Keed. She was foaled in 1S74, and died of old age. The most valuable shipment of young trotters that ever left Kentucky was sent from L^xiDgton on the 26th of Octo- ber to Marcus Daly, "the copper king" of Anaoonda. Mont. These were three two-year-olds, including the $10,000 Lady Wilton, record 2:25; ten yearlings and three wealings. They are by Red Wilkes, Robert McGregor, Bell Boy and Billy Wilkes. This lot of youngsters coat Mr. Daly $54,000. The Saratoga Racing Association held a meeting on the 2Sth ult., at which Senator Hearst, W. J. Arkell, L B. Cr> m- er, H. J. Young and Willard Lester were elected trustees. The following officers werechoseo:iPresident, Senator Hearst; "Vice-President, W. J. Arkell; Secretary, W. J. Wbeatley; Treasurer, Wm. P. Bokes. The old track at Saratoga is now being remodeled and promises to be one of the finest tracks in the country when completed. The pacer Ed Annan, and the young trotting mare Marie Jansen, both of whom were in Doble's Btable this season, are to winter in Brooklyn, where they are owned. Annan is lame, and in all probability will not again appear on the turf, but Marie Jansen should be a star soni9 day. She trotted a close second to Edgemark in 2:21 when she was three years old, and can beat 2:20 now, but has never been just right this season. John Madden, who has been prominent among the buyers of trotters for the last five years, is dipping into the runners pretty heavily. At the dispersal sale of F. A. Walbaum's stable in New York he bought Kenwood, paving for him $7,500, and also secured Folsom, by Falsetto from the dam of Leonatus. Madden still has a few trotters on hand, but it is understood that he will in tbe future devote himself ex- clusively to the runners. A hatter in Bethel about fifty years ago had a dozen work- men iu his employ. One day, on going into the village store, where several of his neighbors were, he said: "The hatting business has been dull for five years. I have lost 25 Ctnts on every bat I have made during that time" "Why don't you quit the business?" he was asked. "How tbe devil ami going to support my family if I don't do something?" Gladdus, a pac-ng mare that was in Doble's stable the fore part of the present season, and that has a record of 2:26}, is to be bred to Nekon. It is said that the fee of the Maine Btallion next season will be $1,000, but it is doubtful if this report is based on fact. Of course, now that Nelnon has on several occasions reduced the stallion record, finally landing in the 2:10$ notch, and showing a public half mile the next day in 1:03, he will get plenty of mares. In the proper columns will be found an advertisement of several well bred thoroughbreds by Dake of Norfolk, and trotters offered for sale by W. L. Appleby. Norfolk blood is well koown all over America now, and the Duke of Norfolk is own brother to bis best sons, The Emperor and El Rio Rey, besides being the sire of Loogshot and several other winners, while the trotters are all well bred and can be seen at any time at the ranch at Santa Clara. It is, we understand, definitely arranged that after the Blood Horse Meeting, W. L. Appleby will take charge of tbe Rosemeade Btable of runners; three (Rico, Conrad and Peri) will be under bis charge dariug tbe meeting. Appleby has during the past season been very successful on the California Circait with Carmen, Odette, Raindrop, Alfarata and the other horses under his charge, and we hope that he will have the same, if possible better, look in tbe East next year with the Rose stable. Among the many visitors to the Californin circuit this year, none was more popular than the old-time horseman Luke Dn Bois, who returned to Denver last Tuesday. Mr. Du Bois since 1861 has made many visits to tbe State and brought many good horseB here, including Lougfield, at present at Rancho Del Paso, and Lilly R , who died at Colonel Thorn- tou's; and his descriptive powers were brought into full play when he described his journeys aoross the plains with an unheard of quality of flour to counteract the alkali water and a little whisky to settle the lot. Mr. Du Bjis lift Inst Tuesday for his home in Denver, bnt he says he hopes to buy a residence near San Franoisco and spend he winters here. The Duke of Westminster, has recently sold an own sister to Orion, by Bend Or, out of Shotover, covered by Rosebery, for 2 000 guiueas, probably to come to America. The prices paid for the yearlings that Lord Marcus Beresford recently bought in England for Mr. Marcns Daly were 1.600 guineas for the filly, t>y Hampton, out of Nameless; 3,100 guineas for the Springfield colt, and 1,550 cuineas for the Bend Or colt. For the two year old Inverness, by Cymbal, out of Belle of Scotland, the large sum of 4,500 guineas was paid, aod as we hear "Inverness is worth all the money," The victory of Alicante in the Cambridgeshire was not pop- ular, although she started as first favorite at slightly better odds than did Marion, The mare won handsomely enough, but she had not been backed very freely in England, the Frenchmen having made her first favorite hy the money they piled on her. ''Chippy" Norton, {John Ball) the emi- nent bookmaker, created some amusement in tbe netting ring when the time for settlement came by shouting, "Come np here now. yer bloody Frenchmen, and get your revenge for Waterloo." Tbe fallacy of the claim that mares that have been driven to extreme speed would be worthless as brood mares is grad- ually being proven. Last year Lucille Golddnst, 2:16}, took her place in the table of great brood mares, with Sprague Golddust, 2:194;, and Lucille's Baby, 2:20£, to her credit: and this year Adelaide; 2:19*. will go into the list of great mares as the dam of Nina D., 2:26i, and Addie D. 2:27|. It is also worthy of note that the fastest one of Lnc-lle's pro- dace is by the developed sire Governor Sprague. 2:20A; and both of Adelaide's fast oneB were sired by the developed sire Nutwood, 2:182. Some men down in Belfast, says the Lswiaton Me. Journal, thought to puzzle a local jockey by bringing out two sorry looking equineB. one considerably la-ger than the other, and asking him which was tbe better one. Bat he was not caught napping. He looked each carefully over, examining the feet of each and then rendered judgment as follows: "One's worth jnBt as much as t'other." "How's that?" asked the crowd. "Well, the big one has got more hide and bones than the smaller one, bat the latter has got the best shoes on, which makes it about an even thing." To close out the interest of the ruled-off trainer, William McGuigan, all the horses belonging jointly to that trainer and the trotting horse man John E. Madden, were sold on the race track at Nashville last Saturday. Among the horses sold were such winners as Linlithgow, Rose Howard, Gen. Caldwf1 «nd Onlight and the two crack colts ChimeB and Dundee. To a reporter Madden has sta- ted that the sale does not m ^n his retirement from the run- ning turf. It becomes necaas.iry on account of McGuigan's ruling off, and then again he states he will in the future have no affiliation with another trainer, but will handle himself the horses that bear his colors on the running turf. •'For the last year or so the smart horsemen around Lex- ington," says a well posted writer, "have been picking ud the Eaele Bird colts. They all showed well, and the buyers ar- gued that as Jay Bird was such a great sire, his developed son, Eagle Bird, would prove a still better one, and it begins to look as though the argument was a pretty good one." Jay Bird is the son of George Wilkes that got the great Al- lerton, fonr year old Btallion record 2:15A. Eagle Bird was developed and driven to her record of 2:21 by Lyle E. Sim- mons, son of William L, Simmons, the owner of the great galaxy of Wilkes stallions in Kentucky, including William L, hire of Axtell 2:12, and Jay Bird, sire of Allerton 2:15£. C. J. Emery of Cleveland, in connection with Tennessee and Kentucky breeders, has inaugurated the largest stake purse ever offered for trotting horses. It will be a guaran- teed stake of $50,000, for three year olds, foals of 1890, al- though the time limitation has not been definitely decided upon. The total payments for each horse will not exceed $350, and the entrance fee will be less than three-fourths of one per cent. The place and date of trotting the race will not be definitely decided upon for some time. A number of breeders have signified their intention of entering from five to ten horses each as Boon as all settlements are made. The stake will be called the American Trotting Horse Breeder's Stake. The thoroughbreds in training belonging to the late Hon. James White, the celebrated Australian racing man, were sold at TattersUl'a on Oot. 6th and brought the following prices in guineas (a guinea is equal to about $5): guls Kirkham, 9, chestnut colt, by Chester— La Princess (i'aptain Michel!) 610 Narellan, 3, coesinut colt, " by Chester — Princess Mand (Mr. Swan) 250 Wentworth, 2, bay or brown calt, by Chester— Trafalgar (D.

Youngsters imported into Germany by the side of their dams are eligible to entry in the stakes offered by tbe government, tbe same as if foaled iu that country. Senator Hearst's three-year-old colt Tournament, has been retired for the winter as the greatest monev winner of the Reason. In stake money be credited $90,995 to his owner.

A twoyearold filly by Isonomy.out of Magdalen (sister to Shotover), only standing 14 3 was put up to auc- tion. Her owner estimated her value very low and did not expect more than 100 guineas for her; in fact, odd as it may seem to use au undergrown two year old as a back, he had been doing so. AVhen she was knocked down, it was to a bid of 010 guineas, made by Sir George Maude, on behalf of the Qaeen's Stud. Three thousand dollars and a bit over, seems a goodish price to pay for such a one! (by Isonomy, and no one ever saw a much better race horse from Magda- len, sister to Shotover, winner of Dt>rby and 2000 guineas, by Hermit, from Strayshot by Tosopholite. Was she expen- sive with a pedigree that cannot be surpassed? — Ed. T. & T.) Another good price was fetched by the brood mare, Maid Marian, by Hampton, out of Quiver, who covered by Galo- pin sold privately for 3,000 guineas. Her vendor bought her two years ago uncovered for 300 guineas, so that he gut a good margin for expenses. (But since then Memoir, a daughter of Quiver, hae won the St. Leger and other big races whioh explains the increase.) The Sacramento Trotting and Pacing Colt Association last Tuesday at Sacramento, trotted offthe three-year-old pacing colt stakes. The judges there were G. W. Hancock, Wilber Smith aDd E 1. Robinson.

The Passiac County Grand Jury came into court on the 27th, says the New York Times, with forty-one indictments and. retired to continue their business. It was rumored that bills were found against the Clifton race traok and the book- makers on the races there. The most extraordinary reports have been in circulation to-day regarding the prodigious efforts made fcy the race track people to procure a reconsid- eration of the vote by which the indictments were found. One grand juror is said to have spurned au offer of $1,500 and another an offer of $3 000. Threats and personal and political appeals were made to members in vain. The race track people deny these stories, and intimate that only last week they refused to pay as low as $300 to members who were willing to protect them "for a consideration." They intimate that efforts have been made to blackmail them, and deny that any indictments have been or will be found, aud if they are found they aeem to think they will be quashed as being defective in some way. It is admitted by grand jurors who voted for the indictments that the evidence lain before them by the Prosecutor was insufficient to justify indict- ments, but frankly say that they favored indicting on gen- eral principles, as everybody knows that the law has been habitually viola ed at tbe race track. The statistics for the nine months ended September 30th, show says the London Live Stock Journal, that the namber of horses exported was 9,492 compared with 10,642 in the same period of 1889, the value being £522,556 against £749,- 084; a rather serious drop, due chiefly, we believe, to the South American trade, as the figures for "other countries'' are £140.288 against £328,495. the nombers being 1,295 egiinst 2,564. There were 3,019 horses exported to Belgium, 1,849 to Holland 1,169 to France, 805 against 865 to the United States, 1,325 against 2,478 to British North Amerioa. aud 1,295 to other countries against 2,564. Of the 1,751 stallions exported, 389 against 524 went to U. S. A, the value having, however, apparently increased from £43,194 in 1880 to £53,795 this year. The value of all stallions exported was £207,973. against £314 762; mares £168.586 against £264,265; and geldings, £145.997. against £170,057. In the same period we imports! 16.336 horses, against 11,235 last year, the value being £273 9S7 against £220,500. There were 1.407 stallions imported against 870; 3,358 mareB against 2,283; and 11,571 geldings against 8,802. The average value per head of tbe horses exported was about £55, and the average value of those imported about £22. We notice by the late mails that our Colonial neighbors havt been spoiling time records on the Hawkesbury and Rand- wick tracks at the Spring meetings. Tbe Sydney track has hitherto been one of the slowest, yet Carbine, with 131 lbs. up, runs the mile and a quarter in 2:07, Bungebah, a grand- son of Gladiateur, a mile in 1:40 and Little Bernie two miles in 3:31 — the fastest ever run at Sydney, and a mile and a a half in 2:37 — mile and a half with 122 pounds up. The sires of these phenomenal performers were Musket, Cheviot and Grandmaster. It is worthy of note in dissecting these pedigrees that Grandmaster, a son of Gladiateur, who was a distinct failure in the Mother Country a3 a sire, should prove so succesBfol, and it is still more remarkable and significant that his grand dam was Slander, full sister to The Libel, tbe sire of Traducer, the most succesBfol of all New Zaaland or Australian stallions. Both are descendants from the old fashionable nick of Pantaloon upon Touchstone's sistpr. To show how much is thought in the Colonies of the blood, w quote the well known Sporting Editor of the Sydney Tele- graph, who, speaking of Cheviot sireofLitile Bernie, tbe Metropclitan Stakes winner, says "Cheviot, the sire of Little Bernie, is a full brother to Sir Modred, being by Traducer— Idalia. This is a really wun- derful family and it is to be regretted that Cheviot as well as Sir Modred were allowed to leave Australasia. There were five brothers and not one of them now remains in New Zea- land. Cheviot and Sir Modred are in America and Idalium and July are in New South Wales. Betrayer, the eldest of them and bIbo tbe smallest, died recently in Canterbury, New Zealand. Considering how few mares have been served by Sir Modred and Cheviot in Australia, it is really surpris- ing tbe number of first-class race horses they have left be- hind." The Metropolitan Stake has been won in the past by some of the greatest race horses in the colonies, to wit: The Bard Dagworth, Goldsborough, Tbe Pontiff, Masquerade, The Gem, Sir Wddred, A'lcolyte, Cardigan and Abercorn. It is a well known fact that so much attention has been devoted to short races rinring the last few years that a genu- ine stayer is very hard to find, and when he is foond there is very Utile for him to win. But this does not prove that there are no stayers in the country, ur that there would be none were there any long distance races. It simply proves that no one wants them; if they did, probably plenty of so- called sprinters would be found to go the route. Take an example from the volume on racing in the "Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes." In 1S66, the late Mr. Swindells owned ahor&e called Abergeldie, aud entered it for the Cesarewitch. WisbiDg to test its staying qualities, he obtained permission from the Duke of Beaufort to try it with that well known long distance champion, the four year-old Gonitra. A three-year-old tilly called ProBerpine, whioh up to that time bad always been considered a half-miler, and had been handicapped in the Cesarewitch at 5st 7lb, was put in to ruake the running as fast as she could over two mileB and a quarter on Winchester Racecourse. To the astonish- ment of all, Proserpine won easily, and when the Cesarewitch was run the despised sprinter was third, being scarcely more than a length offthe winner— the gallant little Lecturer. Mr. Ramsdell, who was part owoer and manager cf the Undine stable . says that they had bad luck all through af ter reaching Chicago Homer, who was undoubtedly tbe best two-year-old in the stable, picked np a nail and had to be let up on for a while; and when he was once more doing good work, be stepped on hi^ quarter, bruising it badlv and was once more placed on the shelf yet in the Friendly S'akes, he ran a good second to bis stable companion Riofax. When on the way to New York the c ir broke down and the horBes remained for a long while outside Pittsburg in the hottest season of the year, and all caught a slight tooch of influenza Homer, however, rounded too later on, and had the six furlongs dash at Brooklyn, on the 22nd of September, at his mercy, but in a collision was knocked over the fence and severely braised. Racine was a great racehorse before the Pittsburg accident, but he never fairly rounded too until the Protectory Stakes which he won in a gallop despite the mad. Rinfax paid his way handsomely and should do well next year, but Glen- livet, although she showed lots of speed, slopped after going a couple of furlongs, seemingly scared. Mr. Ramsdell also said that while East he pnrchased from L. J. Rose the two year-old Palo Alto bred Oscar by Wildidle from imp. Petro- leuse by Plebian. The Gentleman's Driving Association held its regular weekly meeting last Saturday, at the Oakland Trotting Park, but the attendance for some unaccounta- ble reason was not up to the usual standard. The first race was'a trotting match, best two in three, for a purse of §600. The entries were James Welsh's bm Lady Dudley, W. E Meek's b m Flora, Charles Babb's gr m Pet. Flora won the first heat in 2:37£, but tbe veteran, P. J. "Wil- liams, got up behind Pet who won the second and third heats in respectively 2;37£ and 2;34. The second race was a pacing matoh, best three in five, for a parse of $1 000 The entries were; W.- Coleman's g g Oberon and H. Meek's g g Sam. The first heat was won by Sam in 2:39, the second heat by Oberon in 2:2S, the third heat by Oberon in 2:31, and the fourth heat by Oberon in 2:30£. The third race was a trotting match, best two in three, for a parse of $400. The entries were: Carl Iverson's b m San Leandro Girl; F. Prindle's b g Dan P; J. F. Jordan's b g Brooklyn Boy; W. T. Veitch's b g Jenny; W. J, Wilson's blk m Mabel; Thomas Beard's blk g Blackbird; T. Carpenter's b Cipher. Mr. Emlay drove Dan P. in the first heat and came third, while San Leandro Girl came in first in 2-53J. Dan P. was driven in the next two heats by his owner, 2:49£ and 2:47£, winning the race. The National Horse Show Association offers a first prize of $100 to the horse owners whose animals shall jump the highest at the coming show at the Madison Square Garden. The association will aho give $50 to the rider of the winning horse. The conditions attached to this contest are that the winner of the first prize mast at least equal the jump of 7 feet 1 inch, made by Rosebrrry at the Toronto Horse Show last September. Two horses, the property of different own- ers, must enter at $25 each or no prize will be awarded. If the horses fail to jamp the prescribed height on the day appointed for the trial, the Executive Committee has the power to permit another trial on a later day. The horse will be required to carry at least 135 pounds. The rules governing the contest are as follows: First— Tbe start will be with a fence 4 feet 6 inches high, to be raised 6 inches at a time until 6 feet is reached, waen it will be raised 2 inches at a time until the contest is de- cided. Second— Each horse will be allowed four trials uotil 5 feet 6 iDches; from and after this height five trials will be al- lowed until tbe horse is disqualified. Third— Knockiog the top bar off will count against a horse the same as an actnal refusal. The top bar will be held in plase by employes of the asso- ciation. Fourth— Time between jumps to be left to the discretion of the judges. Pink Eve, a disease whioh, while it seldom results fatally, is much dreaded by owners of horBes and mules, has made its appearance in New Orleans, says the Times Democrat, though it is hoped that it will not spread to such an exteut as to damage busines- interests. One stable in which there are thirty seven mult— has been invaded by it, and it is making a run througb a large livery and boarding Btable, in which many fine dnvi g horses are located. AU tbe animals that have been attacked by it tbus far, are coming around nicely, and none of tbem have been very seriously affected, a faot which gives good ground for tbe belief that at the time it is a very mild type of tbe disease that has made its appearance in the city. Dr. Morice, the well known veterinary surgeon, thus de- scribes the svmptoms aud characteristics of pink eye aud the best mode of treatment: "The horse at first has considerable fever and the legs be- gin to swell. The eyes become red and iun freely. The patient coughs frequently, aud walks with a zigzag motion of the hind legs. "Pink eye is a disease of tbe blood, and may looalize in the head, bowels, feet or legs. In the first period a table- spoonfnl of quinine should be administered three times a day, but should the case not yield to this treatment, a veterinar> surgeon should be consulted. aB the further treatment ought to be determined bv the peculiar diameter and localization of the ailment. In France this disease is called typhoid fever of tbe horse; in this country it is termed typhoid pneumo- nia " The New York horse show which opens on Monday prom- inestobe one of the most successful ever held in America Tbe entries are numerous. The thoroughbred stallions on exhibition will include Ed- ward Kelley'a Greenland, and the impoit^d Top Gallant Hard Liner aad St. George. As usual, hunters aud trotters will have a big representation. Over a hundred trotters are already entered, among them being choice collections from the studs of C. J. Hamlin, whose celebrated Mambrino King will again delight the eyes of all good jadges of horseflesh, of Major Dickinson, A. B. Dtrling, Libor Willets, J. H. Shnlts. and Jacob Ruppert. It is also understood that the ereat Nelson will make his appearance in tbe ring. A new and welcome feature of tbe show will be the exhibi- tion of hackney stallions, mareB and geldings. Among these will be the famous Matchless, owned by Henry Fairfax, while Dr. Seward Webb will contribute a large number of his imported animals. Mr. Burdett-Contts will make a special trip to this country to be the judge of this class. He was the center of a little group of racing men in an up town hotel the other evening, and as he puffed a fragrant weed mechanically, he moralized somewhat on tbe distin- guishing features of the mammoth game. "When you talk about gambling on the high roller princi- ple," said he, "the coon can give the white man cards and spades aud whip him before they get to tbe tirstqoarter pole. Just to illustrate this, I recoileot at one spring meeting at Nashville putting up a little nigger we called "Monk" on a mare that had au outside chance. I told him I would give him $100 if he won, and his reply, considering he was a youngster who never had a five dollar bill in his possession before, somewhat startled me. "Ize gwine ter win, shuab, boss. Ize gwiue ter win, shuah. Dey won't nebber beat me. Jest put dat ole hundred on de niara fur me. We can't lose, noways." I studied a moment, and finally agreed to this wonderful proposition, It was a 10 to 1 shot and the mare won easily; so I haoded the boy his winnings with a caution to be care- ful of the way he spent it. In the cool of the evening I was taking a drive with a friend, aad as we were passing the track I thought I would call in and see how things were getting along at tbe stable. As we drove up and hitched our horse we could see two dusky forms seated on the bench in front of the feed room deeply engaged in a game of cards. We stole np along the shed unperceived, and there sat Monk with a cigar in his mouth almost as large as himself. His clotbes were just as ragged and unkempt aa ever, and his little, black face concealing every emotion with an air of calm indifference. He was playing seven up with Eddie West for $250 a game, and he didn't have enough in the morniog to take a street car ride. The bookmakers and horsemen congregated at "Washington last mouth found themselves confronted with the serious problem, "How shall we kill time." when the heavy rain storm, which set in early in tbe morning, caused tbe club's officers to announce the postponement of tbe programme ar- rangel for the day. The very disagreeable weather put seeing the town out of tbe qnestion, bo some of the pencillers took in the matinee at the one wretched variety theatre of which the town boasts. Others pitted their prowess with the bil- liard cue against that of some other member of the fraternity or against local talent with varyi g results, while others found their way out to Monte Carlo on the other side of the city's boundary, where the poolrooms are located in defer- ence to the law's command. 'Two fifty to fifty Young Grace, one, two," fell upon the ear of a New York bookie as he entered a dilapidated build- ing; and a moment later, "Seven fifty to fifty Young Grace, to win." "Whew! they take big money heie" remarks the New Yorker to himself; and peeling a fifty dollar no!e off his wad, he handed it to the gentleman who was raking in the money and said "Stratagem." The erstwhile complacent aud self satisfied announcer of odf^s looked once at tbe bill, once at tbe man who wanted to bet it, and once at the ceiling. Then he fell off his sea* iu a dead faint. The onlookers, too, were trembling in every limb. The New York bookie rushed from the place in alarm, and not uotil tbe evening, when he was relating the incident to a friend who lives here, did he team the cause of the con- sternation in the pool room The "two fifty to fifty" and "seven fifty to fifty" represented United States one cent pieces, and the sight of a fifty dollar bill had paralyzed the orowd. The St. Louis Bookmaking Association ia the latest con- cern to bid for the patronage of that portion of the publio who make a specialty of picking the winners. The circular issued by the concern is very unique, says the Republic. After announcing that Cole Ullman is president and Rob- ert R Kerr, Secretary and Treasurer, tbe document goes on to say that the association is foimed for the purpose of car- rying on a general bookmaking and pool room business in St. Louis. Mr. Ullman is to receive a nominal salary aud 40 per cent of th" profits. The remaining 60 per cent is to be divided among tbe stockholders. The value of tbe shares is to be $100 each and there are to be 50 shares. Dividends will be declared every three months, aoH if a stockholder wiBhes to sell out a purchaser is furnished at the rxaiket value of the stock, which will decrease or increase according to the amount of the 'roll' in the box. A board of directors is to be elected by the stockholders. The man who evolved the scheme gives promise of be- coming a financial gennis: that is, not only able to cope with the intricacieB of bookmaking stock comvauies, but to suc- cessfully set at defiance certain laws and stHtates passed by old fogies on tbe plea of necessity. Thn lisiug youug Na- poleon boldly proclaims that a stock company can be organ- ized and not incorporated; that a stockholder is only liable for his own stock, when it is the general impression that a partuer in a partnersnip is liable for the whole concern. It is the usual custom for tbe stockholders to elect a board of directors and for the board to elect the president and other officers. Here tbe conditions are reversed. The officers are named before the stockholders materialize. This point will be of great benefit to persons who are about to organize similar oompanies. The rise and fall of tbe stock promises to be more exoiting than the fluctuations in Sugar Tru6t. No lively commission house can do without quotations on the St. Louis Bookmaking Association. "Dividends will be declared every three months" says tbe card. But "fow 'bout you, Petie." if it cornea to swipes?" In other words, if the capital stock is wiped out by some ornery, good for nothing, lazy, disreputable man putting $100 on a 50 to 1 shot? Yet such thincs can be. Then, like Othello, the occupation of tbe president, secretary, '< and board of directors is gone. 426 ^Ixe fpmte mxti gpavtstimtL Nov. 8 Sidelights of Sulkyites. The average man that sits up in the grand stand at a trot- ting meetiDg and sees a Held of horses coming np for the word, does not think for a moment that every horse in that race haB a history that would read well in any publication, and that the men in the sulkies are each week patiently add- ing valuable pages to tarf history. A curious reporter that is ever looking for details, can, dnriog the morning, Bkirmish round the stables and learn where each starter was bred, by whom broken, how shod, booted, and how ranch weight, if any, he carries, together with the amount of work he has had to bring him up to a race. In each particular, which is freely given, the experienced mind knows that there has been, in many instances, days Bpent iu discovering what should be used and what should not. In rigging a trotter, possibly nothing puzzles a trainer more than the weight of his shoes. Many start with the same weights all round, and if the horse goes well does not cbaDge a mil he finds when speeding something faulty in his action. Tben the bhoes are made lighter or heavier, as the case may reqaire, oaulks put on or the edges rounded off, heels lengthened or shortened, until the regular one, two, three, four beat of the pure gaited trotter is arrived at, and until it is, no man can expect, no matter how fast his colts or matured horses are going, to have a campaigner. To a novioe the array of bootB are bewilder- ing. Scalpers, quarter boots, shin and pastern, hock boots with all kinds of attachments, shin boots, elbow boots, rolls, ankle boots, and half a dozen others, all find a place on a perfectly trimmed rack, which every rubber, that has an eye to business, prides himself in keeping as trim as the quarter- deck of a man-of-war. Each boot has its place, and when not wanted for protection is frequently worn for safety. Hap- py ia the rubber that has a horse whose complete outfit, aside from his harness, is possibly a pair of scalpers and quarter boots, as it is not a vety easy task to keep the har- ness clean, together with every conoeivable combination from a pair of hobbles to a shin boot presentable. On the stock farms, when the youngsters are taken np. they are, as a rale, booted at every point, until it is found where they pass in safety and where they are apt to hit them- selves. At that time their actual training begins. In the country districts, however, the boot is on the other foot. The majoritv of the horses trained have arrived at maturity, and the trainer has to try every plan known to the profession to make a trotter or pacer, as the case may be, fast enough to go out for the money before he sends the horse home, if he stands the racket without going lame. Then he sees a loss of bo much a month should he give up the task of training this favorite, and as the average county trainer has not to keep horses standing in the halls over night, on account of insuf- ficient stall room, he keep3 on persevering until the flag falls in his face a iew times, if the owner becomes impatient, or until he discovers that he has at la3t secured a desirable piece of racing properly. What the unknown trainer in a small town has to contend with day after day in the pursuits of his calling, his more fa- vored brethern cannot avoid, only they do not meet it possi- bly as frequently, as many of their pupils come to them al- most ready made. Of course, at times they improve on the work of others and get the horse going faster, steadier, and make a better race horse; still all of them, or at least almost all of them, have a desire to take the horse io the rough and bring him from chaos, as it were, up to Grand Circnit form. Those that have sat inside the fence of drivers' argaments will remember that Splan always contends that a horse iB born with his flight of speed and that it is as fast in the rough for a little ways as it will ever be, even when the hand of the maBter mechanic has turned the soft muscles of c^lt- hood into bands ot steel, taught the willing or unwilling pupils, as the case may be, how to Bcore, come back at the pressure of the bit or rush at an opponent at the command of an encouraging voice or the biting Btroke of the whip. He quotes Rarus and Johnston as his examples. He gave both of them their records and saw them driven before he ever Bat behind them, and who can gainsay his word. Still for argument's sake there must have been many notable excep- tions, and it is just possible that Leopard Rose should be one of them. No one ever saw her rush away from the word on the half-mile tracks last year or any preceding year at a free-for-all clip, and where is the conservative claimant for any high tangled trotting done by Tom Arden before he was put into the moulds by the young man thit snli him at Wellington. Bat in following this topic a drift ha3 been taken from the field of horses coming down for the word and the probable threads of history dangling behind their sul- kies. Take McDoel for example, a menial plough horse un- til bis speed was discovered; and Captain Lewis was no better and would have been as fast if his Rochester owners had been disposed to let his leg alone after Horace Brown had made more than one spectator's teeth rattle with his suc- cessful trip down the line. Men not horses, however, is the theme and it is one that interest every one that buys a pool ticket or asks a secretary for a complimentary on race day. Of coarse these interests come closer on account of association with the gentlemen that make such good use of the holders on the reina when heats are being decided and a continual ran of favors running from one town to another. It is a strange fact and one that track managers have been unable to Bolve satisfactorily and that is, if a man gets a complimentary once it is a hundred to one he will never buy another ticket for a race meeting but will spend money, time and skill to devise means through which he can ingratiate himself with the authorities and by so doing be remembered on the afternoon of the day before the meeting by receiving through the mails a coveted complimentary. It is, however, to be regretted that thi3 lagging prose will not skip over the fence on to the quarter stretch and rake up a few Bidelights of sulkyties, or, rather, little incidents in the careers of a few prominent drivers. At first sight the name of JameB H. Goldsmith appears. His name haB been a promi- nent one for years, but has only won what might be called national fame in the last three when after the death of his father and settlement of the estate he became the master of Walnut Grove and branched out as a public trainer. The precedence given him on this occasion can be excused when it is remembered that he has won more money this year than any man that went through the Grand Circuit, bb was shown in the comparative tables publishad in a recent number of The American Sportsman and which were, by the way, quietly published without credit by the majority of its con- temporaries. James Goldsmith learned his business at home under the Bbadow of Volunteer's fame and bis first successful performers traced to the loins of Lady Patriot's greatest son With Huntress, Driver, Trio, Sister. Alley, Powers and Car- ver he won m^ny a race and learned the lessons of patience that have landed him at the head of his profession. "As game as a Volunteer" has become a proverb and another might read "as difficult to understand." James H. found that kindness was the key to their conjnerce and that wnilc they resented a stroke they would follow acaresB. The records of the turf tell the rest. The most striking display of Goldsmith's patience that was even Been in public appeared on the cards at Hartford two years ago. He had Company in a race against Captain, William Kearney, Frank Buford, Charley Gibson and Jere- miah. The Kentucky Prince gelding had two weekB before won a remarkable race at Poughkeepsie defeating Graylight, who afterwards became a free-for all candidate under Gold- smith's pilotage, Superior, who was injured at Pueblo, Col., Friday week, and a number of others taking a^record of 2;19iJ, which he could never after equal, let alone reduce. He was known to be a very unoeitaiu horse, unsteady and a tremen- donB puller, in fact so bad that the late John Mnrpby, who gave him his first lesson pulled him up in a race at Cleveland aod sent him to the stable. Somehow Company was the kind of a horBe that Gold- smith cottoned to, possibly on account of nearly every other driver being disposed to give him the cold shoulder. At all events he got him, won the race at Poughkeepsie, and then popped np at Charter Oak aB it were on top of a mushroom The race was one of the kind that make game men dizzy. A thick set man with a flowing mustache busied himself round the pool box buying Gelds at $3 with William Kearney in,and ss Feek, the developer of the Lysander family, Lai him, he considered that he was better off than the New Yorkers with Company or the Bostonians with Captain. But to come to the meat of the story. Feek won the first two heats with William Kearney, and the individual betters soon sailed in to keep out of the wet. In the third heat Company made him sit down and then Captain won two heats, Goldsmith fight- ing Golden at every available point. When Company won the sixth heat the money went on in loads, as Goldsmith felt he conld win. It was then the fun commenced. A swarm of bees had landed on Company's heal, and their buzzing made him dizzy, rank, cantankerous, mean. Guy in his sulkiest mood was not a marker to him. For over three quarters of an hour he sachaed, waltzed, danced and hobb'ed dowu the stretch with Kearney and Captain. The public was disgusted, the speculators were dismayed, but Goldsmith was unruffled. He had a whip and an arm that can use it as unmercifully as any in the business when the position warrants it, but he Bat there and waited patiently for that horse to get over his tan- trum. When he did it was only temporary, however, aod lost tha race to all appearances through it, but Goldsmith did not loose his presence of mind or temper with Company, but striked him as good naturedlv after the exhibition that had cost him a number of good dollars aB if he bad landed the pool box for his followers. It was this perseverance that made Goldsmith a success with the Volunteers, and it is this quality that would, were such a horse as Guy to come into his stable, make him the driver of a record breaker. For in the case of Guy, Goldsmith would have not only tbe patience to wait for him to go away level, bat bIbo the (-kill to rate him when he got him going. In the fast miles that Guy has been driven, he has been permitted te rate himself, and as a natural consequence it has been a very common thing for him to trot to the half at a record breaking clip and finish as b3st he could. In this way he has managed to trot in 2:10£ and trot a mile and an eighth the day he made that record. But while Goldsmith possesBeB the quality or patience, he haB also others that have gradually moved him along io front one of them being the ability to shake up a tired horf e in front of the party. At the last Cleveland Grand Circuit meeting, the bay gelding Dawson cost a few of the boys 6ome money and they wanted to get it back at Buffalo. They got it back according to the records, but by the narrowest scratch imaginable. Ia the third heat the horse was almost done and a boy that eat by the distance stand thought he heard Goldsmith mariner as he gathered the horse up in his bosom, "Come to my arms thou son of Mansfield, thy legs are weary and thy heart is faint, but for the honor of the family to which you belong, and the farm on which you were foaled, you must stagger home in front," or words to that affect, and the horse did win, strung out to the limit of his speed. It would be a very difficult matter to tell the reasons for Goldsmith's success in the solky as he web literally born in it and has had and handled horses from youth. He was particularly fortunate in having his lot cast among the Vol- unteers, as the highest class race horses are like them, horses of great resolutions and will power that can be controlled by kindness and made useless by resistance. List summer, one day, when speaking of Mimbrino Maid, he showed this point by stating that she is a rather willful mare and one that must be let go when she wanted to. By humoring her and working her carefully he placed her name at the top of the list of Grand Circuit winners, something that possibly few others would have succeeded in doing. To an observer Goldsmith's triumphs might be attributed to perseverance, backed by firmness allied with an intuitive knowledge of horses and their ways. His seat in the Bulky is not so graceful as that of Doble or Hickok as he leans for- ward further, a fact that does not come from his using a higher seat but that he is a taller man. In this way he gets nearer his horse and can take a stronger hold on a bad actor of the company kind. In his finishes Goldsnith appears to combine Splan's unequaUed rallying powers and Doble'a catapault drives. With the yell of a Sioux, and a pistol grip that would make a gun maker weep, Splan rustleB hi-* charges along, panting, flingiog, Bhoving and banging nis tired horse to the wire, where the money is up and being reached at each stride. Turner, on the other hand. sitB as erect as a judge on the bench, trusting to his horse s gameness and early training, which he has gradually drawn to an edge. Doble waits pa- tiently for the final drive, and reefs his tired horse a? skill- fully as a seaman stows away a sail. Goldsmith unites the reef with Splan's electrical flourishes, sedog, feeling and knowing only one thing until the wire is reached. The cherry aod black jacket and cap of the Walnut Grove horse- man has been on all of the prominent tracks of late years, and would have closed the season of 1S90 at Philadelphia. had not the man that has made it piominent been struck down with wbat appeared to be partial pualysis at Lexing- ton. At last aocountshe was recovering, a 'id next spring the public may expect to see him again, whirling round the oval and kite-shaped tracks, behind the papils wintered at Wal- nut Grove, and this last word wintered means considerable, as the now prominont trainers of to day will not take a horse to campaign, that does not come to them in the fall. This week Goldsmith has sent two from vicinity that he would not take under any other conditions- Geers has, to the knowledge of the American Sportsman representatives, re- fused several, which owners did not dispose to send to his winter quarters in Tennessee. There are several reasooe for this state of affairs, bat they oover so much ground th>it ii would be advisable to reserve them for another installment, under the hea i of Sidelights of Sulkyites, when the methods of some of the*veterau_s will be discussed, and what remark- able changes have Been made jo the methods of training trotters within the memory of those still prominent in the ranks. When those whose hair is now growing gray in the service were learning their first lessons, or starting out to 'paddle their own canoe' as it were among tbe master me- chanics of the sixties long jogs, heavy sweats, were the ac- cepted truths of the profession and no man could hope for good results that did not set into line. A horse was never given a mouthful of grass from the day his work began until the campaigu was over, and his daily exercise was enough to kill anything but a horse with an iron constitution. Of course in those days theie was more manufacturing done than at present, where selection in breeding has given the embryo trotters a confirmation and gait that their ancestors had to acquire. Then again the modern trainer does not aim to draw his horse so fine that he can slide him through the eye of an needle but rather to keep him in good hard flesh but with no fat inside. By grassing him he also keeps bis bowels in good condition and by sharp brushes keeps him at his speed. — The American Sportsman. Certificates. Marcus Daly's New Purchases. On October 27, there was shipped from Lexington, Ky., to Marcos Daly, Anaconda, Mont., sixteen head of trotting horBeB, consisting of two year olds, yearlings and weanlings, in care of Mr. Ben B. Kenney, the young and successful trainer of Nancy Hanks 2:1 4 J, who will take charge of Mr. Daly's Bplendid stable of trotters, says the Spiiit of the Turf. This shipment is perhapB the richest bred in trotting lines of any similiar consignment that ever left the State of Ken- tucky, and it is safe to say that tbey cost their owner more money than was ever paid for a like nnmber of youngsters. While the prices for all of them cannot be learned, it is known that Mr. Daly paid $10,000 for Lady Wilton alone. While the aggregate amount ppent for tbe entire lot is be- lieved to be from $40,000 to $60,000.

The Trotting Union of Great Britain proposes to pass a new rule, which will go into effect in January, provid ng that no American horses shall be per- mitted to enter for the races excepting those that have al- ready raoed in tbie country. The rule makes another excep- tion which is extended to horses able to produce an Ameri- can certificate. The latter is a move in the right directien. It should long ago have been adopted io this country and the curse of "ringing" would not have grown to such appall- ing dimensions. The certificate business will put a mo.- 1 ef- fectual stop to the sharkB who purchase outclassed trotters in this country and ship them to foreign countries for the purpose of "ringing" them as native-born horses. They will have to show where the horses oame from. On the oth- er band, no fraud can be perpetrated in palming off a native bred horse for an American-bred trotting stallion. The very protection demanded and conceded to foreign countries is denied the honest owner in this country, where, owing to immense number of unknown trotters, the opportunities (or committing fraud are endleBB. What a guarantee an owner would have if no horBe oould perform without an official certificate properly indorsed by an officer of the course over which the horse last trotted. A certificate of that kind would entitle a horse to perform in any race in his olass, over any coorBe controlled by the National Trotting Association, and no protest could avail against it unless it shonld appear that trie owner, nominator or driver wa6 under penalty. An owner armed with one of these certificates coold trot his horBe over tbe tracks of the association without danger of inference bo far as the horse was concerned, precisely as a ship with proper papers oan navigate the high sens without fear of molestation. Another excellent rule wonld be to make compulsory the payment of five per cent., when the entry is made, with no farther charge if the horse does not start. With a rule like this there would be noeDteriog of horses op. remote tracks without con- sent of the owners, by rascals who desire to vent a personal spite. No man will enter a horse in that way if he is com- pelled to pay down five per cent, of the entrance fee. Another instance ia recalled now, and the case will come before the next meeting of the Board of Review. An owner had occa- sion to discharge bis driver, and the fellow in order to "get square," entered bis horses at several places throughout the ODuntry. The owner knew nothing of it until he came to start in tht> fall, when at tbe first place a bill for the back entrance money was presented, and he was obliged to put up more than two hundred dollars before the horsrs coold start.

To Cattle Men. We have received the following letter which speaks for it- self: Chicago, III., October 15, 1890. To the Cattlemen of the United States: Gentlemen : DuriDg September I sent out a number of let- ters aaking cattlemen, "If they would join an Association which I would form to better their condition," and was sur- prised to receive 80 per ceut. in favorable replies. Much elated with the result, I will push forward an Asso- ciation which will be the greatest one of its kind in exis- tence. It was my intention, first to learn, if the forming of an As- sociation was possible, and then give you my ideas as to how it oanbe successfully worked to save millions of dollars. Then advance the price 30 per cent to where it was in 1S82, First. To form an Association to protect ourselveB. Second. To stop shipping cattle at a oertain time to ac- complish the object. Third. To build Stock Yards at most advisable points to receive cattle, where packers and dealers may purchase from the Association. Fourth. To do away with brokers and commission men, and save the excessive yardage charges. Fifth. To advance prices 30 per cent. Forming the Association is an easy matter, bat it must be bo strong and determined that when a member receives an order from headquarters; "he must obey it," and I leel cer- tain he will, when he knows it will be to his interest. My reason for "stop shipping cattle, " (on your receiving notice to do so.) is to accomplish oar objeot. which can be done with success in no other way, as it will be impossible for the packers and dealers to do business without tbe cattle. As to building Stock Yards for receiving cattle it will cost very little money, which will be advanced. I can secure any amount of suitable land as near cities (such as Sioux City, Iowa and Butohinson, Kansas) as the Union Stock yards are to Chicago, by agreeing to build yards on it. We can save $6 000,000 annually by tbe Association hand- ling the cattle with its own employees. By making a small charge of 25 cents per head, {where we now pay 75 cents — 50 cents to broker and 25 cents to Stock Yard Co.) we can realize over $2,000,000 each year, which will pay em- ployees, have money to advance on shipments, and also be used for buying cattle from small producers and the few men who refuse to join the Association. If we found by oharging 25 cents per head it accumulated more money than needed, it could be used as a "benefit fund." The prices can be advanced 30 per cent without the retail price necessarily advancing. In 1882 choice beeves weigh- iug from 1.200 to 1,500 pounds, brought on an average of $5 60 per 100 pounds, and porterhouse steak retailed for 15 cents a pound. In 1889, the same kind and weight of beeves sold for $4.05 per pounds, and porterhouse steak retailed for 22 cents per pound. Ho reason why price cannot be put back to $5 60 and kept there. Let me give you an idea of how it will save you, by refer- ing to the cattle I own and control: For instance, I have 20,000 head, weighing on an average 1,200 each, or 24,000,- 000 pounds at present market price, 4 cents per pound, worth $960 000. When we advance the price to 5£ cents (30 per cent) per pound, the cattle will be worth $360,000 more, not including the $10,000,(50 cents per head) I will Bave by sending them to the Association's yard. The most important thing we must do is to regulate aud control the production, aud that can be readily done if we find that "over production" is oue of tbe causes of the bad condition of the cattlemen. We can purchase aud send to market entire ranches, which will in a time reduce the pro- duction, and when the "shipping of cattle" is thoroughly systematized, there will be a great change from the present condition. As to advancing money, that may be easily arranged, until the Association has its own funds. Have unlimited capital I can draw on, aud have the promises of many banks to ad- vance. I am receiving letters constantly from bankers aud wealthy men, who have seen notices ia the newspapers of the new Association, offering to assist me. The following letter is one of the many recently received: 1) , Colorado, Oct. 1, 1890. ME. WILLI4M T. HUNTER, Palmer House, Chicago, Illinois — Dear Sir:— The attention of the writer was direc- ted a few days ago to your ciroular letter, and the editorial relating to same in the Denver News. While not being en- tirely posted in regard to all of the points which you have in mind, it strikes me ihit this is a very important procedure, and the idea is most favorably received by a majjrity of the cattle men in this country to whom I have spoken. No one here, so far as I am aware, has received the letter or other communication from you. The writer being an old cattle man in this section, and intimately acquainted with everybody handling cattle here now, would take pleasure in BendiDg you the names of them all, or aiding you in this scheme in this section of country to the best of his ability. The idea as you suggested, will undoubtedly work well, pro- vided an advance could be made to those stock men who must of neoeseity sell at any pries to pay their bills. They would be glad, however, to pay a fair rate of interest on money and hold their cattle over for awhile, if they could have any assurance that their cattle would ultimately be Bold to advantage. I should like very mach to hear from you upon the Bub- jeot, and can assure you a hearty co-operation, providing the idea proves to be as it appears on tbe surface. This is a fine cattle country, and there are lots of cattle in it. It is, however, subject to the Bame drawbacks as most of the rest of the range in the United States, from the fact that it is overstocked, and the water a little scarce. Trusting to hear from you in the veiy near future, I am, Yours very truly, D. E. D. A prominent broker at Union Stook Yards in Chicago, made these remarks to a newspaper man, which he has pub- lished: "There is no doubt that the ranchers have been badly treated, and the men that made millions in the meat business h,ad bled them. He had told the native cattle men that if they did not take care they would be in as bad a plight as the ranchers." Another more prominent broker in Bpeaking of the fim*n- ,oial oondition of tbe ranchmen, said that "undoubtedly through reckless expenditure and over-production some were in difficulties, but he believed that by conservative methods .and careful attention to business things would come right, 'and that in the next four years the increased consumption of .dressed beef would send the price of cittle up to 5 and 7 cents a pound," He seems (o lose sight of ..the fact that if there is an "over-production" it bus been oaused by natural iBWeaBe, and Pftreful attention to business will not lessen >t any. It is true that in the nest four years there will be an increased consumption of dressed beef, but there is no possi- ble chance for the price to advance, unless an association is formed and the production controlled. I quote here figures taken from a broker's book, oalled "Facts and Figures of Chicago Live Stock Trade, " to show you that it does not look like "over-production." In 1888 the rpoeipts of range cattle sent to the Chicago market was 269,509, end in 1S89 it was 160,396. No over-production about these figures. ThiB marked falling off was not caused by a hard winter, as I know from personal knowledge that the loss on the range was not over 2 per cent., and that was mostly young stock, which is expected. Tbe cause of the great deorease is from being forced out of business by the steady deoline of prices. Mr. Jas. H. Campbell is quite oorreot when he Bays: "Whatever may be said against the combination or Big Four, as it is called, it must be allowed that they are men of capi- tal, energy and ability." I should like very much to hear from you, and receive names and addresses of cattle men in your country, as it will take some time to reach you all. In the meantime I will see about looating yards, and arranging other matters which must be done in advance. Would advise you not to ship any more cattle than is necessary this year, as this time next year you will receive much more for them. Yours very truly, Wm. T. Hunter. Palmer House, Chicago, 111. California State Board of Horticulture. We have received the following letter and circular from the Secretary and sib it is of great interest to the Horticul turistsof the State, we print both letter and circular: San Francisco, Oct. 31, 1390. Dear Sir:— We beg leave to call your attention to the within circular, being a call issued by the State Board of Hor- ticulture, for a State Conventfon of Fruit Growers, to con- vene at Santa Cruz, November 18th to 21st inclusive. The meeting will be largely attended by representative fruit men from throughout the State, aud many others inter- ested in kindred pursuits. Many subjects of great interest will come before the Convention for consideration, and among others, the advisability of forming a union with Flor- ida fruit growers, the exhibition of California products at the coming Columbian World's Fair, a report of the Eastern fruit shipments, etc. lhis Convention is called to enable fruit growers and oth- ers interested to come together for a general interohanse of ideas, and be profited thereby, and an invitation is extended to all interested. Very trnly, B. M. Lelong. Secretary. Convention of Fruit Growers, Office of State Board of Horticulture. San Francisco, Oct. 31, 1S90. The Fourteenth St.te Convention of Fruit Growers of California will convene at the city of Santa Cruz on Tuesday, November 18, 1890, and will continue in session four days. The citizens of Santa Croz, the Board of Trade and the members of the State Board of Horticulture, cordially invite fruit growers, Bhippers, nurserymen and others interested in horticulture and kindred pursuits to be present at said con- vention and to participate in its deliberations. Every effort will be made to insure a large attendance, and it is to be hoped that the meeting (as were the previous ones) will be of interest and profit to all. It is especially requested that samples of fruits, either fresh or dried, be exhibited at this meeting. A. card should be attaohed to all samples, giving name, etc., and stating briefly how processed. It is also requested that all those having new fruits and inventions of value to horticulturists will exhibit them at this meeting. The Southern Faci6c Railroad Company will allow return tickets at reduced rates from all points on their lines to Santa Cruz, provided not le3S than 100 persons make the trip, and a receipt for the ticket purchased be taken at starting point. This will be countersigned by the Secretiry at the conven- tion, and entitle the holder to a return ticket at one- third the regular rate. Hotel accommodations are ample and reduced rates will be allowed. OPENING DAY. The Convention will assemble at 10:30 a. m., Tuesday, Nov. 18, 1890. 1. — Calling to order by the President. 2 — Eleotion of two Vice-Presidents. 3. — President's semi-annual address. 4. — AddreBS of welcome. 5. — Response. Many very valuable essays on different subjeots will be presented, written by prominent and experienced horticul- turalists, to be followed by general discussions, of the wide and diversified field of horticulture. It is impossible at this time to make a complete announce- ment of a programme, that will include the entire lists of writers, but it may be Bofficient to say that a rare treat by way of valuable essays and discussions, await those thatjmay attend. We go to Santa Cruz in the disoharge of our regulai obli- gation, to aid in all ways possible in furthering the interests of horticulture, and also at the cordial invitations presented by the citizens, and because of the widely diversified interest represented in her vast territory, and varied prodnots which many have deBired to see and investigate for themselves. For these and many other reasons we believe that all who may attend this meeting will be gratified with its results. Respectfully, Ellwood Cooper, President. B. M. Lelong, SDcretary. NOTE — The Sun Board of Horticulture is a State Insti- tution, and the Conventions held by it semi-annually in different sections thrtughout the State are to enable fruit growers and others interested to come together for a general interchange of ideas and be profited thereby.

Klein in May Ibbc, and recently published, contains some remarkable facts in regard to the natore of diphtheria in cows, and its effect upon the milk which are of surpassing interest to intelligent dairymen and consumers of milk. The facts are more important for the reason that this serious dis- order has all the outward manifestations of a very common disease among cowb, known as cowpox, or vaccine vadola, and which from its simple character rarely atttaots notice among the owners of cows, whether they be private persons keeping a cow for the domestic supply, or farmer-*, or dairy- men. This simple disease is a mild specific fever, which presents no serious symptoms beyond a sometimes incon- venient eruption upon the teats of the cow, that may inter- fere with the opera ion of milking, from their soreness dar- ing the short continuance of the disease, or u^on the udder, where they cause no inconvenience whatever. This disease rarely lasts longer than fifteen or twenty days, when the eruption dries up, forms scats which drop off, and rapid healing follows. The eruption appears aB small pustules, which become vesioles, containing a fluid serum that changes to pus, which finally forms the dry brownish scab which is used by physicians as the vaccinating virus for the preven- tion ot small-pox. These pustules are surrounded by a red ring of inflammation andundeilaid by a somewhat hard nod- ule. They become in time flattened and depressed in the center, and soon after— if not broken in the act of milking or by violence— dry up, as mentioned. Very similar pustules appear as the outward and visible symptoms of tbe more Eer- ious disease, which is so closely related to the human diph- theria as to be conveyable to persons and animals through inoculation by the virus or through the milk. Consequently, a cow affected with this disease may be very easily supposed to be suffering only from the scarcely serious towpox or variola, and so much injury may result from the mistake as to call for more than ordinary notice and precaution The experiments related by Dr. Klein are as follows: Dur- some years past various outbreaks of diphtheria among resi- dents of the city of London in 1888, led to careful investiga- tions, by which they were traced to the use of milk taken from cows supposed to be in good health, but which had chaps or sores upon the teats. Other cows examined under suspicion were found to be in apparent good health, but had sores and crusts on the udder and teats. No substantial evidence was consequently found to connect the numerous cases of diphtheria, so many in fact as to amount to an epi- demic, with the actual disease in the cows, until a thorough investigation was made. In the course of this investigation two cows were inooulated with a culture of diphteria bacilli taken from a person suffering from the disease. It is un- necessary to recapitulate the results of the experiment further than that the operation there appeared on the udder and teats red raised pustules, which soon changed into vesicles surrounded with the red ring which is characteristic of the cowpox. The vesicles contained a clear lymph, and were underlaid by hard nodule. The next day "tbe vesicles changed into pustules containing puB; in another day these ^ried into crusts with sores underneath; in two days more The crusts became thicker and larger, and soon after fell off, leaving dry, healing sores. All this happened in from five to seven days, which is precisely tbe time in which the Bame manifestations occur in the cowpox, and, as in this disease, fresh vesicles appeared, passing through the same stage, constantly between the fifth and eleventh days after the in- oculation. Tbe milk drawn from one of tbe cows on the fifth day was examined, and thirty-two colonies of the diphtheria bacilli were found in less than one teaspooolul of it (one cubic cen- timeter). Tbe matter from tbe pustules was found by mi- croscopical examination to contain the bacilli, and the virus injected into two calves caused the characteristic eruption of vesicles changing into pustules and dry crusts, as in cows. The calves, too, were affdcted by the same bronchial inflam- mation and pneumonia which appeared in the cows soon af- ter inoculation with the cultivated germs of the human diph- theria, and the presence of tbe bacilli was exhibited io them as in the cows in the tumors formed at tbe place of mocu'a- tion. In fact, the whole system, the longs, the liver, the heart, and tbe muscular tissues, were pervaded by the diph- theria bacilli. Thus the contagious rature of the disease was cleaily ascertained both of t e virus of a human subject and from the cows, and also the fact that it is absorbed into the whole system, includiug the udder, and that it escapes in the milk and contaminates it. Later an accidental occur- rence proved that the diphtheria is conveyed by the diseased milk m the Bame form, viz., tbe prevalent false membrane of tbe throat in animals in which this disease manifests itself in this way. Many experiments have been made with cats which are subject to the disease in precisely this form, aud which are known beyond question to contract the disease by infection from persons, and to cooimunicate it to them in turn. The miln taken from one of the inoculatrd cows above mentioned oo the fifth day after tbe operation was ordered to be destroyed. But this order was disobeyed, and part of it was given to two cats. These cats became sick, and soon af- ter died of diphtheria. ThiB evidence goes to prove beyond question the fact that milk of diphtheritic cdws carries the disease with it, and jus- tifies the suspicion of the physicians atteudiug the ra^es out of which the investigation grew at first. No uncertainty can now exist in regard to this most important matter, aud the imminent danger that, from tbe similarity between the ap- pearances upon tbe udder and teats of cows in the frequent occurring cowpox and in the fatal diphtbetia, this may be mistaken for that in more cases than persons interested may be aware of. The exodus of stock sheep from northern Montana to North Dakota still continoes. The Montana Forming Jour, nal says: Fifteen thousand head were purchased in this vi- cinity last week and will be forwarded by the Great Northern as cars can be obtained. Of this number J. M. ^Hawkins, representing E. M, Prouty, of Grand Forks, bought 10,OUO head, comprising two of the best bands of grade merinos on the Teton, those of Hobbies & Hefferman and Hammel & Zimmerman, aud a baud from the flocks of the extensive Cooper-Martin Company, and 128 thoroughbred Shropshire bucks, from Seims & Artuiugton. Sheep raising nas been found very profitable in North Dakola, and Mr. Prouty will lease these Bheep to the farmers there ou easy terms,— KSvhp Press, 428 *Q\xz greener and jlpurtswatt.

This was a jag handled game, the Senators having no diffi- culty in hitting Perrott at will, while the team back of him gave him miserable support, shirkiDg many easy chances. On the other hand, the SacramentoB put up a stroDg game behind Hoffman, who pitched excellent ball. Armstrong started in to catch for the Gas towns, bat hurt his finger badly in the first inning, Stockwell catchirg the remainder of the game. The batting features of the game was Staple- ton's terrific hitting, tne Senator captain making four hits, two of which were triples, and Hoffman and Roberts' work with the stick. Bowman's catching, the infielding of Reitz and Godar, and Roberts' work in left were the fielding fea- tures. Pete Meegan umpired in a very satisfactory manner. The score: Stocktons.

Friday, Oct. 31st, 1S90, at Oakland. Although the Colonels had a big lead in the forepart of this game, the Friscos by some heavy hitting, and aided ma terially by errors, overtook and passed them in the seventh inniog, winning handily. It was a good hitting gime, the Metropolitans having the best of it in bunching, while the fielding was a combination of 3Tellow and rosy work. Midget Sweeney made a most surprising catch, running to deep cen- ter with his back to the audience and getting the ball over his shonlder. Ebrigbt, C.

The score: FIRST GAME. SACRAMENTO vs. STOCKTON. Friday, Oct. 31st., 1890, at Sacramento. There was a good sized crowd present when the second game was called. Borohers was in the box for the Saora- mentos and Fudger and Wilson formed the battery for the Stocktons. Borchers was frightfully wild in the first inning, Bending sis men to first on balls, which with a wild pitch gave the Gastowns three runs. After that he became steadier, striking out ten men and allowing but five hits. Fudger was also wild, but all things considered did good work. Staple- ton again came to the front with three pretty hits. Fogarty was the star of the game, accepting twelve difficult chances around the middle cushion. The Stocktons had a lead of two runs at the beginning of the nintb, when after Robirts and Stapleton gained the initial on balls, Daly banged out a home run over the right field fence, making the winning run himself.

Saturday, Nov. 1st, 1890, at Sacramento. Although the Stocktons had a lead of six runs at the end of the fourth inning in this game, the Senators by some very lucky hitting in the fifth, managed to get five men over the plate, and a lively repetition of the Bame kind of work and several errorB in the seventh placed five more over the rub- ber, giviDg them the lead which they maintained till the close. Borchers was in the box for the Sacrament' s, and along with being wild was hit hard when he did get the ball over the plate. The bitting was terrific all through, Reitz and Holliday leading. Perrott retired in the eighth inning, Holliday replacing him in the box and doing fairly well. Of the five games played between these teams during the week, the Senators captured four which greatly increased their per- centage in the pennant race. The score; SECOND GAME. Sacbamento. ; BH SB PO A El SAN FRANCISCO vs OAKLAND. Saturday, Nov. 1st, 1890, at San Francisco. There were eleven exciting innings to this game, which finally resulted in favor of the Friscos, disastrous errors of the Colonels, allowing the home team their victory. Carsey went in the box, and as he has been especially effective against the Mets, it was expected that he would again down them. But after three innings in which he was touched out pretty lively, he retired, Shaw taking his place. Although fidgety, and at times wild, Sh-iw pitched his best game seen here. The Oaklands tied the Friscos' lead of two runs in the ninth. C. O'Neill led off with a single, and McDocald's corking thiee bagger to the small left field fence, scored him. Od Tip O'Neill's hit to Ebright, McDonald started home, bnt was caught at the plate. O'Neill Btole second, and by Ward's high throw, Hanley 's juggle and Everett's slowness, O'Neill came home. In the eleventh, Hanley was safe on Cantil- lioo'8 fumble, and stole seoond. Ebright banged out one to center, Hanley g^ing to third. On Ebright's being caught between first and secoud, Hanley made a desperate Bteal for home, scoring the winning run.

There were many fine plays, a running foul catch by Eoberts, being a most won- derful piece of work, while Goodenough, McHale, Reitz, Hanley and Ebright also made some excellent catches. Both Coughlin and Harper were steady and effective. In the third inning Ward was safe on Harper's muff but Congblins hit to the pitcher forced him at secoud. Shea's single and Hanley's sacrifice scored Coughlin. The Senators tied the aoore in the eighth. Roberts hit saftly, stole second and crossed the plate on Levy's error in not taking Daly's fly. In the tenth, the Sacramentos won. Goodenough made first on Coughlin's poor throw to the initial, stole seoond and tallied on Roberta magnificent double to right. The score: SACRAMENTO vs. STOCKTON. Saturday, Nov. 1st, 1890, at Sacramento. Both teams put up brilliant ball in this game notwith- standing the eight errors made, aud after a hard struggle tbe Gastowns finally came off victori ma by scoring three runs in the eight inning. Hoffman and Perrott were tbe pitohers and each did splendid work, receiving strong support from their respective catchers. Holiday oaptured the batting honors, securing a hit for every time up.

There was an immense crowd at this game and the sympa- thies of the audience were clearly with the Stocktons, who lost the game in the ninth inning. Wilson pot up a phenom- enal game at third accepting ten of eleven difficult chances. Carsey started in to pitch but retired at the end of the fourth) having been hit for seven safe shots. The runs came in as follows: In the first inning Dangan hit safely and scored on Dooley's home run drive. Stockton earned a ruu in the fourth on hits by Stockwell, Armstrong and Fudger and Shaw's errors. In the fifth CantiUion hit safe, was forced to second on Sweeney's base on balls, and both scored on hits of Lohmao and Shaw. In the sixth, Wilson scored on his hit and the errors of CantiUion and N. O'Neil. In the seventh Dooley scored on Wilson's error, and Lohman's triple. In the ninth the Stocktons took the lead on Fudger's single, a steal, Lohman's passed ball, Hollid^y's base on balls, errors of McDonald and Dooley and two steals.

Tuesday, Nov. 4th, 1S90, at San Francisco. The game the Friscos put up last Tuesday against the Oak- lands was one of the rockiest exhibitions ever given on the coast. The home team seemed utterly unable to field a little bit, and this allowed the Oakiands to score sixteen unearned runs. Both Lookabaugh and Shaw experienced a severe cannoDadiDg, there being twenty eight hits made on the game, giving a total of forty three baseB. In the fifth inning the Colonels bunched eight hits off Lookabaugh, which with live errors, gave them ten runs. Their were few fielding features. Duogan, Stevens and Levy doing the only good work. Charley O'Neill was injured in the fourth inning causing his retirement and CarBey took his place. At the bat McDonald, Dooley, Sweeney and Speer did some very powerful service. Meegan as umpire, did fairly well but was somewhat off on balls and strikes in the beginning of the game. The score: Oakland. San Fbancisco.

The S'ocklonp, by heavy and timely batting in the third inning of this game, scored a big victory over the Co'.onels. They were virtually without a pitcher, but Fadger went in the box and did masterly service. His support, with few ex- ceptions, was all that conld be desired. Caisey did good work in the points for the Co'.onels, except in the third in- ning, when, through errors of himself, Tip O'Neill and Sweeney, a man hit by a pitched ball, Fudger's single and a home run by Armstrong, six rnns were scored. This gave the Gas townB a big lead, which they increased loward the clo^e. The features were magnificent catches by Wileon, Hoffman and Hnllidav, and McDjnald's aud Fogarty's su- perb infield work.

Pete Sweeney, Van Haltran and Fogarty are yet to arrive. Matt Stanley continues to catch great ball for the Fresno team. Pokey Chase is to take Kilroy's place with the Stockton team. Jimmy Ward is to do the catching for Hoag's California ColtB on tbeir Hawaaian trip. Last Tuesday's game was a veritable slugging match and both pitchers suffered severely. Little Ward is undoubtedly the weakest hitter that ever appeared in a San Francisco uniform. Ed Stapleton and Jim McDonald are now hitting the ball as hard and frequently as any of them. It is said that "big Chief" Borchers will be releaseed from Sacramento, his work not being at all satisfactory. The 'Frisco's work so far this month don't commence to approach their clever fielding of the Brst week of October. Ed Keeder, who was here with the old Califoruias, is now playing first base with the Dallas team, of the Texas League. Billy Daley, the south paw pitcher of the Boston team will not come out here this winter, but will remain at his home in Poughkeepsie N. Y. Speer's hand is mended, and from this on, barring further accidents, he will be constantly seen in his position behind the bat for the "Mets." Ward, of the Spokanes, led the North Pacific League in hitting, making 111 safe hits and 16 sacrifices in 71 gamea, giving a percentage of 367. The Kansas City team has beaten the Philadelphia League team's record of 16 consecutive victories, and now leads the country for 1890 with 17 straight. Mike Kilroy is now a Senator, having been sold by the Stockton to the Sacramento management last week. The young pitcher is well pleased with the change. Belna, lb...

Id batting, how- ever, he was very low, having only 150 as his percentage in that department. Borchers and Polhemus are the only players who received their last month's salary from the Spokane management. The others were paid in thirty day cheoks, and good for what they could get on them. There ought surely be a place in some of the teams for Tom Buckley next season. Tom has kept his hand in by playing witb one of the amateur teams with which his work has been exceptionally reliable and clever. He has also done s^leodid service with the stick. Alvord, the third baseman who was signed by Sacr»mrnto last year, has just closed an agreement by whicb he wm play with the Cleveland {National League) team nest year 1'hiB looks as thoagh Billy Smalley will be on the market utl ss he is retained to play some other position. The meeting of the directors of the league to investigate charges brought against certain players, etc., was postponed as a quorum was not present, the absent directors being ac- tively engaged in political affairs. It is quite probable that the meeting will bo held as soon aB the election is settled. Gagus ba3 again stepped on the diamond in the official capacity of umpire, a position he fills creditably to himself, and generally satisfactorily to an exacting and highly oritical audience. Charley is well up in all tbe points of the game, is active and possessed of excellent judgment, and never faila to maintain the dignity of his position on the field. Chicago has a new "infant phenom" who is said to be bet* ter than Willie McGill. B. G. De Hart is his name and he won 64 out of 80 gimes played in Atlanta, Bristol aud Knox- ville this season. Mike Lane declares that he cut his teeth on a base ball. Instead of a rattle his baby hands toyed with a bat, and he could twist an up-carve before he said "mamma". It is now stated that on account of business obstacles tbe Comiskey-Kelly aggregation trip to the Pacific Coast will not be made, and that the Chicago's first baseman will be seen with the Lob Angeles team rloring the winter schedule. The Champiouship games between the Louisvilles and the Brooklyns have been postponed till next Bpring on account of the cold weather and small attendance. Seven games have been played, each winning thrae aDd the other resulted in a tie. The SacramentoB bring down a big excursion next Sunday, over four hundred tickets being already sold. It ought to be a great game fur between no two teams in the league is the rivalry so keen as that which exists between the Senators and Colonels. Says a well known theatrical manager: "A ball player is not a 'White Slave,' though he imagined he was, which made tbe national game almost a 'Legal Wreob.' The magnates' talk reminded me of 'Natural GaB1 aud they will find that it was injurious to baseball 'Later On.' That is "A Straight Tip,' and anybody who imagines that base ball has not been hurt ought to take 'A Trip to Chinatown.' The public is no loDger 'Bewitched' and something must be done to make the base ball business 'A Gold Mine' again and put the magnates and players on 'Easy Street.' My name — well, look in 'The City Directory.'— Exchange. Henrv Chadwick, the veteran writer says: "George Wash- ington Bradley is now night watchman in a Chestnut St. car- riage store." It is not so long ago when pitcher Bradley and catcher Miller — originally from the Easton (Penn ) team — were regarded as one of the crack battery teams of the pro- fessional arena. But that was in the days of the underhand throw delivery of the ball to the bat. Base ball heros of yes- terday are of but little account to-day, and to-morrow they may be relegated to the list of retired veterans. Colts are in the ascendant mowadays, and deservedly so in a majority of instances. The damage done to base ball by the fight of the season just finished is shown very plainly by the little interest taken in the world championship series between Brooklyn and Louisville. A few years ago, when Detroit or Chicago aud St Louis were battling for this same honor, the games were attended by thousands and the excitement over them reached a fever heat. The papers were eagerly watched for and re- ports of the games as eagerly read. This season, after the Brotherhood's fight to knock off their shackles, Louisville and Brooklyn are playing to bencheB that are almost empty and the interest in the games seems to have reached the zero point of indifference. The Brotherhood revolt was a pretty costly matter for base ball and it looks now as if the players would regret it in sackcloth and ashes. Franklin, the manager of the Female Baseball Club, who left Cincinnati last spring with nothiDg except ten three- sheet posters and his gall, is back again. Now he is a Bight for ye gods aud men. When he shot athwart the vision of the writer last nieht he looked like a prize-winner in a beauty show. Hie laxuriant crop of whiskern were oiled and groomed like the ccat of a racer. From his shirt-front, bis fingers and his wrists big sparklers reflected back in brilliant style the rays of the electric light. He had on an English suit, and a very much Henry Stanley hat. He waB as full of business as the driver of a twelve-horse team making a short turn. "I just dropped in to see how they were coming with you," he said. "How am I doing? Well, now, you're chirping. I don't look like I wa3 stalling for a poorbouae, do I? Well, I should say not. It has been oil for me all summer. The magna 63 may talk abaut 1S90 being a frost, but I did not get any of tbe snow. It has been aces up or better for me all season. I have got all kinds of money, a dozen sparks, any one of them big enough to board me for three months, and two oomic opera companies. Oh, no, I don't know a thing, somebody else does. I have been up through the New Eogland States with my Ladies' team, and while the professional tossera were playing to three men and a 'yaller dog' we were turning 'em away. Well, I must be off; so long." Here's one on Oakland's Becond baseman. One day not long ago CantiUion and a party of friends after tarrying a while near the grounds, were preparing to take the cable cars home, and the second baseman was fairly loaded down, hav- ing his bat bag and Carsey's and his own grip to take care of. In his right hand he carried his own valise and seemed to be laboring under a cumbersome loid as that side ol his body was almost bent to tbe ground, while be carried Carsey's grip and his bat bag in his left hand with apparent ease. "What's the matter Cant?" asked one of the boys, "You don't seem to be getting along very lively. "Oh! nothing!" replied the pugnacious little player, "only you see I work so darn hard in a game that my uniform getB all soaked through with perspiration and that makes it weigh a ton. "Just feel the difference between mine and the 'Kids.'" Accordingly several of the party took turns in liflirg the two grips, and all declared that Cantillion's was fully three times as weighty as the pitcher's. There was one old sport in the crowd, however, who had played ball way back in the sixties when sweaters, gloves, masks, aud all tbe late appli- ances were undreamt of, and atter taking a tug at the bag, shook his head dubiously and said : "How many pair of Bboes do you carry in that, anvbow?" "Only one, of course," replied tbe player; "and I'll bet you a round for the crowd there's no more in there." "Well, open up," responded the other, and so tbe contents were exposed to view, but the uniform aad shoes were buried from sight, for all that could be seen were two big cobble stones, three broken bricks and a dozen or more soda water bottles which some frolicsome player had silently slipped into the big. But the old fellow wouldn't set them up, Bwearing all the time that it was a fake of Cantillion's to let people feel how heavy his clothes were after playing, and thus gain for him Borne mite of synjjn' for his supposed bard work. 430 Iftje fpmdje* and M porisnmn. Nov.S The Amateurs. The Vallejos downed the Santa Rosas Sunday and have now a fighting chance for first place. The Burlingtons also did up the Fincks and may possibly land themselves in fourth place before the season is over. The Reports and Al lens hni no game for last Sunday.

Strengthened by the addition of Patsy Oahill, Georgn Sharp and Billy Kennedy, the BarliDgton team presented a formidable array last Sunday morning in their contest against the Young Giants. The game was for blood and also a large sized bank note, and it was easily seen that the Fincks were outclassed from the start. They however made a rattling finish. Sullivan was in the box for the Giants for seven innings, during which he was hit out pretty hard. He gave way in the eighth to Leveque, who did well. Bohan pitched great ball for seven innings, but in the eighth he weakened, the Fincks placing him safely three times in each the last two innings. He fielded his position in great form and received fine support from catoher Wilds. Oahill cap- tured the baiting honois, making three safe and timely hits. Mulvey, Tillson and Delmas also did heavy work with the stiok. The infielding of Tillson, Strand and Kelly, and the outfield work of Leveque and Sharp were the prominent features. The runs were made as follows: In the second, Sharp took his base on balls, second on a wild pitch, third on Bohan's BiDgle to left and scored on Fa'rell's error. They made two more in the fourth, Sharp putting a safe slow one down to. ward third. Traynor hit to Sullivan, who had Sharp "dead" at second, but Farrell dropped the ball and both men were safe. Mulvey 's two baBer to right scored 3ha>-p and Cahill's hot single past short sent Peek-a-boo Traynor over the plate. In the seventh, Billy Kennedy opened up by push- ing a corker down the third base line and stole second. Ca- hill's triple to the left field fence Bcored Billy, and Mnlvey's double to left gave "White Wings" a run. Mul went to third on a wild pitch and scored on Wilds Bingle to right. Strand had flew out to Frank Delmas, Sharp to Leveque, and on Leveque'e overthrow from oenler to first Wilds started for third but was nailed at that bag on Frank Delmas' assist to his brother Lonny. The Fmcka failed to score till the eighth. After Deeney was assisted out at first bv Strand, Conway was safe on Kennedy's short throw. Delmas's single to left advanced Conway to second, but Tillson's hit to Strand forced Frank at the middle cushion, Conway moving to third on the play. Tillson stole second, and Farrell'a safe rap to center enabled Conway to tally. On Levy's safety to right Tillson scored, and although Leveque was given firBt on balls and filled the baseB, they failed to get another man over the plate, as Sollivan was thrown out by Kelly. In the niDth tbey tacked on two more to their score. Lonny Delmas flew to Kennedy who made a splendid catch back of the bag. Deeney banged out a safe one to left, but was forced at second on Conway's hit to Kelly. Frank Delmas again pushed out a safely to center, Conway scoring and Delmas taking second on the throw in. Tillson put a beauty in oenter, Delmas making third, and on Wild's error of the throw in, scored. Tillson cleverly stole third, and after Farrell had two strikeB called on him, Tillson made a diring and almost successful effort to reach home, bat was declared ont by a close deoision. Tom Powers nmDired most satisfactorily. The soore: BUBJ.TNGTONfl. AB.

The Marines tamed the tables on the Sonoma boys by ad- ministering the m a great drubbing in last Sunday's game, beating them easily 12 to 5. The Santa Rosas were totally unable to do anything with Spragne's curves, while Callen was hit freely and heavily and received miserable support all around. The Marines put up a magnificent fielding game, Stanford capturing the honors. Jack Dohohue umpired splendidly. No official score of the game was published. Interior Base Ball. FRESNOS vs. STOCKTON MYSTICS. Sunday, Nov. 2nd, 1890, at Fresko. The Fresnos again did up the Mystics, hitting Chase with great frequency and ease, while Howell pitohed another of his splendid games. Bat three hits were secured off the "two year old" and he struck out ten opposing batemen. Matt Stanley, at the receiving end, supported him in great style. The fielding of the MysticB was slightly superior to Austin's mens work, whose infield had an "off day." Mike De Panghe-r caught for the Stockton toys, and barring three passed balls, did well. Stewart, also at one time with the Stockton professional team, played a fine first base for the visitors. Dexlraze late of Seattle, appeared in center with the Fresnos, and his batting, stealing and fielding, together with G. Dyer's general work, Stanley's catching, Howell's twirling and Stewart's first base play constituted the bril- liant features of the game. Four splendid double plays also occurred and were well applauded. The score: There seems to be some hitch >n the arrangements of the Allen's trip to Fresno. But it is more than likely that what- ever it is, everything will be satisfactorily concluded before the end of the month when the Sports are billed to play Aus- tin's team three games. Dextraze, of the Seattles, and who played a few games with the Will & FinckB, is now playing with the Fresnos. Hi? record in last Sunday's game with the Mystics is an ex- cellent one, he making two rons, three hits, three base steals, four put outs, an assist and no mtsplay. When the Vallejo team returned home last Snnday night after their overwhelming victory over the Santa Rosas, they were enthusiastically welcomed by the delighted citizens, who, with brass band and torches, met them at the depot, and forming a procession paraded the streets of the city, yell- ing and shonting in their glee. The Burlington team of last Sunday was one of the strong- est amateur nines that ever appeared at Haight street. The battery is a cracking good one; there were four hustling hard hitting iufielders at the bases and short, and the outfield, made np with Cahill, Sharp and Mulvey, was a terror. This team, if in the league at the beginning of the season, could well be called the "AnnihilatorB," aud it is doubtful if any of the others would be "in it" with them. Dextraze, of. ..A G.

Now that election is over, Jack Lewis will probably return to the diamond. It is reported that centerfielder McCarthy will soon play with the Fresnos. Dave Levy is without doubt the hardest working oatoher in the amateur league. The Vallejos have beaten the Santa Rosas as often as all the other teams combined. Charley Tillson showed up in fine form in last Sunday's game, both at the bat and in his position. Cahill's heavy hitting aided the "Railroaders" materially in their victory over the "Giants'1 Sunday. Joe Leveque plays a great outfield, covers a whole lot of ground and always has his arm with him. ZemanBky is no longer umpiring. Donohue will probaMy officiate at the remainder of the games up country, Shorty Mabony umpired the game betweeD the O'Connor Moffatts and Keane Bros, teams last Sunday at Central Park. Peek-a-boo Traynor, the big strapping first baseman of the Railroaders, is one of the best natured fellows in the ama- teur ranks. Sharp, Cooney, Creamer, Leveque, Reilly aDd Joe Tillson will probably be with Hong's team of California Colts on the trip to Honolulu. "Giraffe" Stewart, the elongated pitoher who appeared in a few games early this season with the Stocktons is now play- iDg first base for the Amateur Mystics. The Reports play the Santa Rosas to-morrow at the Haight Street grounds at 11 o'clook, and the Fincks and Aliens will probably play at 9 at the same grounda. Billy Kennedy made his reappearance at third with the Burlingtons last Sunday, and although he is a trifle lame, managed to get through all right. It's as hard to keep a duck out of water ns to keep Billy from playing base ball. Per the steamship Zelandia on the 15 iust. Frank Hoogs, a well known theatrical manager will take down a team to Honolulu to give a series ol nine exhibition games. The team will be known as the California Colts and will be cap- tained by Tom Powers late of the Baliimoreg. The make up of the teams is Farrell pitchar, Ward catcher, Powers first base, Creamer second, HowarJ third, Reilly short, Cahill right Geld, Sharp center andO'Day left. They play a thiee weeks engagement and will be baok by Christmas. There is talk of getting up a pool of one thousand dollars for a match game of baU between the Vallejo and Santa Rosa clubs, provided the latter will raise an equal Bum, ihe games to be played after the league season is over. The plan is for those who desire to place whatever sum they wish iDto the pool and in case the Vallejo club wins to draw down double the amount tbey put in. In oase the clnb lossrs. the amount to go to the Santa Rosas. A number of the lovers of the game are ready to put up their money. Now will be the chance for the home club to get in and drill. — Vallejo Chronicle. The Phoenix base ball club of St. Mary's Colleg*1, Oakland, played an exciting and interesting game of ball with the S*nta Clara College Club at Redwood City, Oct. 30:h. Both pitchers were in excellent form and pitched splendid ball. The features of the game were the battery work of Cart- wright and Phelau ot the Phoenix team, the fielding of Coo- ney, Duffy, Strand snd McElroy, and the batting of Sinnott, Pbelan, Flannery and Eckley. To enable the players to catch the evening train the game had to be called nt the end of the 6ixth inning, when the score stood Phoenix 7, Santa Claras 4. Frank and Lonny Delmas wilt both, in all probabilty, be with the Salem team, of the Willamette Valley League, next year. Frank is one of the best amateurs on the soast and haa ranked first as the heaviest batsman in the California Amateur League for several years. He has also played a fine reliable first base, but his position is more properly on sec- ond, where his activeness, good judgment and sure catching would make him a moBt valuable man at that station. Lonny is also a good all round player, though not so heavy a hitter as his brother Frank, His is, however, a splendid base run- ner and haa played a bang np third base for many veers with the Nationals, Keaues aud Will & Finok teams. Both boys being very steady in their habits have promising futures be- fore them. SCHEDULE OF GAMES -OF THE- CALIF0ENIA Base Ball League, SEASON 1890. November 8th to November 15th- AT SAN FRANCISCO.

EDITED BX ABPHIPPUa, The annual Amateur Boxing Tournament for the cbamp. ioDship of the Pacific Coast began in the gymnasium of the Olympio Club on Thursday eveniDg last. Tbe out-door amateurs aie preparing themselves for the great field meet- ing of the Olympio Club which will be held on Thanksgiving Day. In the rowing and bicycling line everything is quiet just now. The Alpine Club will hold an out-door athletic meeting at the Bay Distriot track to morrow forenoon. The cricketers are still beeping i:p practice, and many of the players are getting into good form. RUNNERS, WALKERS, JUMPERS, ETC. The Alpine sprinters were well represented at the Bay District track on last Sunday morning. The short distance men are in tine conditton for to-morrow's quarter mile dash. Captain John D. Garrison of the Alpine Club has gone into the saloon business at 1161 Market Street, close to Cent- ral Park. Charley Jelleueak of the Olympic Club is making rapid strides towards championship form. The great improve- ment in his speed daring the last year speaks well for his future chances of success. The gymnasium of the Olympic Club was again filled with spectators on Wednesday evening when the professors w«e given an opportunity to show how much their pupils knew. A rumor is current to the effeot that many of the Olympio Club boys Bhowed the white feather in refuBiog to enter their names for the boxing tournament. It is scarcely necessary to deny the assertion, for the grit of such men as Cooley, Green, McArthur, Lafferty, etc., is too well known to permit of any charges of cowardice being made against them. The plain reason in most of the cases is that the men want prizes instead of medals. In refusing to bos for medals, these ath- letes do not show a very good taste. A man who is a true amateur should always be proud of a medal, and any person who professes to be an adept at boxing who would not think it worth his while to compete for one of the handsome and valuable medals which will be presented to the winners of the coming tournament, should retire from the field of com- petition. The first night's work began on Thursday evening, and as we had already gone to press, we are enabled to pub- lish the results in the present issue. Next Saturday a full account of the bouts will appear. The total cumber of entries is 20. The Olympio and Alpine clubs have five ettrits each; the Lurline and Acme clubs four each, and the Saoramento Athletic club two. The following is a list of the namei entered : Bantam, not exceeding 115 pounds — Phil Boulo, Olympic Club, 115 pounds; H. J. Donegan, Lurline Athletic Club, 114 pounds; H. J.

An unusually large crowd of the Olympic Clnb athletes took exercise at the out door grounds on Sunday. The weather was charming, and many of the boys lay around in their running costumes the greater part of the day. Foster is paying all his attention to the hurdles, and the U C representative, H. C. Moffet, will be somewhat surpri3ed at his agility next spring. The joint meeting arranged by the Manhattan Athletic Club, the Salford Harriers and the Athletic Club of the Sohuylkill Navy, came off at the grounds of the latter organ- ization at Stanton, near Philadelphia, on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 25th. The day was cloudy, with a chilling wind from northeast, and the track was soggy. About a thousand per- bous were present. Summary: One hundred yards run— Final heat: E L Sarre, Manhat- tan Athletic Club, 5yd. start, first, in 9 4 5s; E S Ramsdell, Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy, 3§yd. second; L F S Pynchon, Young Men's Christian ABsosiation, 8$yd, third. The winner poachedabont three yards, which partly accounts for the time given. One mile run— E W Parry, Salford Harriers, 20yd, start, first, iu 4m35i; JO Williams, Young Men's Christian Associ- ation, 85yd, Becond; J B Large, Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation, 120yd third.

The winner was handicapped at U yd., but declined to accept a step and nn from scratch. Owing to the heavy condition of the track, the correctness of the return "is questioned. One furlong run— E 8 Ramsdell, Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy 8yd, start, first, in 23 l-5s; R W Lloyd, Young Men's Christian Association, 13yd, second by a foot; Murdo Mackenzie, Young Men's Christian Association, 15yd, third, the same distance behind.

Tbe Amateur Academic Athletic Association announces that its first Field Day will be held at Berkeley Campus on Saturday, Nov. 8th, at 1 P. M. The University athleteB are beginning to make prepara- tions for their next field day. The chances are that a tro- phy will be given to the class winning the largest number of points. The interior athletic clabs are very enthusiastic over field sports just now and on Thanksgiving Day the Los Angeles and Sacramento Athletic ClnbB will hold games. The Pasa- dena Club which was recently admitted into the P C A A A will also give a short programme of field games on the same day. From present indications it is certain that many clubs will be represented at the next championship sportB and there is no telling how many ''dark horses" are liable to make their appearances. If G D Baird enters the walk at the OlympicClub games on Thanksgiving Day the Athletic Committee should be very careful in selecting a judge for that event. We do not think Mr. Jarvis would accept the position of Judge of Walking for the occasion, and as there are only a handful of competent judges in the city, a good man should be selected to officiate. It is but three weeks from now until Thanksgiving Day, and the athletes who intend competing in the Olympio Clnb gqmes on that day should not neglect their training. "We again publish the programme: 100 and 440 yards, open han- dicap runs; half mile run, O A C, handicap; 1 mile, open, handicap run; 220 yard O A C, maiden for members who have never competed in a race* 120 yard hurdle, open handicap; 220 yard hurdle, O A C handicap; pole vault, open, handioap; running broad jump, O A C handicap- putting 16 lb. shot, handicap O A C; 220 yard run for O A C juvenile handicap; one mile walk, open handicap; run from grounds to top of Mount Olympus and return. Valuable prizes will be given to the different winners. The hill climbing contest will be a very exciting one and the spec- tators will have a fine chance to watch the contestants from the grand stand. Commencing at 11 o'clock to-morrow forenoon the Alpine Club members will hold a series of sports at the Bay District track. The principal event will be a quater mile handicap run for which there are a very large number of entries. Gar- rison will be at scratch and most of the starters will find it hard work to keep in front of him until the tape is reached. P N Gafney will walk 220 yardB heel and toe. Garrison will give an exhibition run and several other races will be ar- ranged on the grounds. Two prizes will be given for the "quarter." The Alpine Club foot ball team is making rapid progress, and the following members practice at Central Park almost daily.

There was a fair crowd of people present at the Olympio Club grounds last Sunday morning to witness the athletes train. A 200-yard handicap run was gotten up and the handi- caps were as follows: J C Kortick, C A Jklleneab and P M Maud, 9 yards each; M L Espinosa, 11 yards; J F McDonald, 12 yards; N L Williams and C M Yates, 13 yards each; D J Barnert, F Smith and J S Ottis, 20 yards each; H S Allen, 22 yards; George "W Hupers. 25 vards; M Trombone and F G Redding. 30 yards eacb; W M'Phelps, 32 yards and HH Egbert, 35 yards. The race was divided into four heats and a final one resulted as follows: FirBt heat woo by Redding in 24 2 5 seconds, second heat won by Maud in 25 seconds, third heat won by Jelleneak in 26 1-5 seconds, fourth heat won by Espinosa in 25 seconds. McDonald did not feel well after winning his heat, and it was agreed that Phelps should replace him in the final. The final heat was won by Charley Jelleneak in 24 1-5 seconds, Redding 2d, Phelps 3rd. The fast man won a pair of rnnning shoes, the second prize was an exercise shirt and the third a fine razor. Frank Cooley is a victim of ennui. He is unable to sleep o'night and the snrgeon in attendance attributes the cause to the fact, that Mr. Cooley has not received any challenges during ihe past twenty four hours. 0. M. Yates, the walker, has joined the Olympic Club. Henderson and Caeady, of the O. A. C. are getting them- selves into great condition for Thanksgiving Day. Garrison of the Alpine Club will be with them in the "qaarter," and the winner will have no time to Bleep. The joint cross country roid of the Olympic and Alameda Olympic club which was to have taken place laBt Sunday was indefinitely postponed. McLaughlin, the Irish amateur shot putter and hammer thrower is about to join the Alpine Club. Captain Garrison is trying to get up a ohampionship team that will bring credit on the clnb.

Daring the early part of July mention was made in this paper of a horse, which had been purchased by a Mr. Foster of Sydney, for the purpose of taking him to Australia; it was also stated that the horse had trotted two miles in 4 minutes and 51 seconds, informal ion to that effdCt having been given one of our reporters by a gentleman who claimed to have witnessed the perform- ance. "We are in receipt of a letter from th s man Fos- ter, in which he writes as follows: "In your issue of the 5th of July there is a paragraph referring to a horse I brought from America. Now that paragraph is all false, and could only have been in- serted to do me an injury by influencing the handicap- ping of the horse over here. I bought the horse from Mr. O'Rourk, and the only trial I had was a road trial in a buggy, and placed him on the B»y District Track for exercise and safety until the steamer left-" "We have not answered Mr. Foster's letter up to the present, owing to the fact that it was rather difficult to hear from all the persons interested, but we now have full and complete data of everything that was done in reference to the transaction. The representative of the Breeder and Sportsman, who visited the track, asked the question from several who were standing on the stoop of the Club House: "Has the two-mile horse beat- en five minutes?" And the answer ('was understood to be "by nine secjnds." but now it transpires that the gentleman who gave the information intended to say that it was nine seconds over five minutes instead of nine seconds under; but from what wo know of Mr. Foster, it would not make any difference whether we stated 4:51 or 5:09, as he has told a deliberate falsehood in his letter. The trial on which he bought the horse, was not made on the road, nor yet in a buggy, but was made on the Bay District Track and in the presence of quite a number of persons. It would seem that like many other Australians, Mr. Foster does not want the gullible public over there to know what he purchases as by the same mail in which he sent us the above letter, he also sent another to a gentleman in this city, asking him to buy another horse, and to get it out of Califor- nia without anybody knowing anything about it. Mr Foster, if a thorough horseman, should not care who knows of his purchases, but he evidently intends to de- ceive the Australians, who are in the habit of patroniz- ing the trotting tracks over there. The horse which Mr. Foster took over with him. was worked some little time on the Bay District Track prior to the purchase be- ing consummated, it being understood that the gelding was to Bhow two miles iu five minutes, for a stipulated price. The time not being quite as good as was expeot ed, part of the price asked was deducted, and at a lower figure BJr. Foster purchased the trotter, knowing full well the horse's capacity and speed. It is a great pity that such men as Foster own trotting horses in the An- tipodes, for it is such as he that has done more to bring trotting into disrepute io the colonies than anything else could possihly have done. The Breeder and Sportsman will keep a sharp look out for any horses that may be consigned to Mr. Foster, and he may rest assured that the Australian public will receive full particulars of any ringers that he may desire to foist on his fellow citizens. Mr. Valensin Returns- Mr. Valensin, the well known owner of Sidney and Simmocolon, has returned from a trip through the East- ern States, where he has been visiting the principal race tracks and many of the large breeding establishments on the other side of the Rocky Mountains. As is natural to believe, the gentleman feels highly elated at the success attained by his young stallion in the big circuit, and still at the same time feels a little disappointed to think that he did not get a better record than 2:19. On being asked if he thought it probable that Simmo- colon would go East again nest year, his reply was: "Certainly not, I shall keep him for use on our own cir- cuit here, so that the people of California may be able to see for themselves what a great race horse I have. Mr. Andrews, who drove for me at Lexington, owing to the illness of Jas. Goldsmith, is authority for the statement that Simmocolon is one of the beBt and fastest stallions that he ever drove behind; and Mr. Goldsmith has also assured me that next season, with ordinary luck, that the horse should knock several seconds off his present mark. As you are aware, while in the East I secured the services of Millard Saunders, of whom it is unneces- sary for me to speak, as his reputation is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, having been for so many years in the employ of Mr. Gordon. The wonderful success that he attained with the erratic Guy, is enough to stamp him as one of the leading drivers of the coun- try, and I feel perfectly satisfied that under his able management, the Valensin Stock Farm will have many more Sidneys and some young Simmocolons to go into the 2:30 list." Mr. Valensin was askel what he thought of Freedom's wonderful mile made at Napa, and the answer was char- acteristic of the man: "It is a pretty low mark for a yearling to make, but I feel satisfied that I have some weanlings at present on the ranch that will warrant me in shooting at that mark. I fully intend to prepare a number of yearlings next season, and if they do not beat 2:29^, it will be no fault of mine. Sidney, as is well known, is a producer cf early speed, and I see no reason why that record should not be materially lowered in the near future." "Did you have a good time while in the East?" "Yes, I never passed two months more pleasantly in my life. Everywhere I was received with the utmost cordiality, and the officials of the various associations where I visited, did everything that lay in their power to make my stay a pleasant one. I also had many happy days visiting the various breeding farms in the different States through which I passed, and while in Kentucky, added two more brood mares to my already large list. The first one I bought was Bessie Bowne, foaled in 1881, by Dictator, dam Lady Lightfoot, 2:35, by Mambrino Time; 2d dam by Paddy Burn*; 3d dam by Mosley's Copperhead. The second one is a dark brown filly named Brita, foaled in 1887, by Dictator, dam Ethel Wynn, 2:33£, by Harold; 2d dam Kathleen by Pilot Jr.; 3d dam Little Miss by imp. Sovereign. This filly is in foal to King Rene." Mr. Valensin also told us that there is a strong proba- bility that there will be many Eastern breeders visiting California during the coming winter, as the remarkable time made by California horses this year has drawn more attention to the State than ever before, and he is satisfied that there will be a good market all winter for well bred trotting horses. The Sportsman as a Factor in Society. The public have a right to inquire into the standing and composition of all organized bodies. Every oigan- ization has its effect upon society. This effect, in some cases is so subtle and quiet that but little is known of its source, while the public may be benefitted or injured by its workings. As a factor in the progress of society for the past one or more decades, we venture to assert that few organiza- tions have produced more beneficial effects than that of the true sportsmen of the country. As a rule, the individual sportsman is cosmopolitan in the fullest sense of the law. As a result, the great body of sportsmen have en - gendered a feeling of good will from one end of the land to the other. In our sporting publications they are fur- nished channels of communications, which in effect ( bring them more readily together than almost any other body of men that can be mentioned in the land. This spirit of good fellowship produces marked results for the good of society at large. The effect of all spor'- ing organizations is to foster and upbuild a community of interest, which m its beneficial effects on society at large, is of no inconsiderable importance. From Maine ,to Texas and from Oregon to Florida, this interest is more marked than that of any other or- ganizations throughout the country. The contact cf mau with nature, in its wildest and most natural modes, has ever been and will ever be, a source of education and in- spiration which is beneficial to mankind. The cultiva- tion of the animal kingdom and the association with them, has a decided tendency to eldvate and refine the best qualities of one's nature. If there were more loverB of animals in the world there would be noticed a correspondingly higher sense of justice between man and man. No class of knowledge is more useful than that which t.jnds to a clear and practical understanding of the nature and conditions of the several sections of our country. Iu this respect, the literature of the sportsman, as set forth in the sporting journals of the country, serves a most excellent pur- pose. It is a matter for congratulation, not to the sportsman alone, but also to society at large, that the interests of the fraternity are so rapidly advancing. The San Jose Meeting Declared Off. A letter from Secretary Bragg of the San Jose Blood Horse Association, notifies us that only three of the races advertised for the proposed meeting at that point have tilled, and as a consequence the Board of Directors has declared the meeting off. It is to be regretted that this action was found necessary as the Garden City has always been one of the favorite places for horsemen to attend; and, as a usual thing, the betting fraternity have been in the habit of attending the San Jose races for the "purpose of getting a line" on the thoroughbreds that are expected to race at the Pacific Coast Blood Horse Meeting. Some of the owners of the thoroughbreds have expressed themselves very strongly against payiug 10 per cent, entrauci for purses, and it may just be pos- sible that this has had a strong bearing tovard limiting the entries at San Jose. Australian Horses in England. In another portion of tnis paper will be found a letter from one of our oldest and most valued contributors, up- on the value of the Musket blood. So far, Senator Rose is the only American breeder to secure any of this valu- able stook; and the only regret is that the Sage of Rose- meade did not secure a stallion of the same blood. There has been a disposition to sneer at Australian and New Zealand horses in America, which we have al- ways deemed unjust and unwarranted. In Eugland they are better judges of horses and are not afraid to pay long prices when they can get value received. We subjoin a list of the six Australian youngsters disposed of at Tattersall's, in London, on the 6th of October, be* ing the stable of the late Hon. James White of Sydney. The prices are in guineas: Kirkham (5), chestnut colt, by Chester— La Princess (Captain Ha- cbell) 610 Narellan (3) chestnut colt, by Chester - Princess Maud (Mr. Swan) 250 Wentworth (2) bay or brown colt, by Chester— Trafalgar (D. Coo- per) 1,700 Nepean (2), bay colt, by Chester— Iolanthe (D. Cooper) H5d Mods Meg C2), bay filly, by Mittini-Henry— Malacca (D Cooper). .2,001 Bay yearling colt by Martini- Henry— La PrlncesB (D. Baird) ... 660 The filly, Mons Meg, bids fair to become a grand look- ing matron, and the price realized for her, something in excess of § 13,000, is sufficient evidence that the blood of Musket is thoroughly appreciated there. Mr. Cooper, who purchased Mons Meg, is the owner of the Australian filly Lady Betty (by St. Albans out of Pardon by Tal- tendon), which beat the Prince of Wales' crack mar* at Goodwood. Wentworth is brother to Dreadnought, the crack three year old of 1S89, whose victory in the Aus- tralian Cup of February last, is the fastest two and a quarter miles ever run under the Southern Cross. W« sincerely regret that men in our midst, with ample means to essay high priced importations, are so want- ing in a proper spirit of enterprise. Large Purees- For the past two or three years many writers on turf topies have expressed surprise at the soiallness of purses offered for trotting horses, and of the large stakes which are annually announced for thoroughbreds. Surprise has also been manifested at the large prices which breed- ers have beeu willing to pay for well bred trotting horses as in comparison with what runuing horses have beeu sold for, as there has always been a chance for a good thoroughbred to wiu a small fortune in a season, while the . heaviest winners in trotting races could scarcely get more than money enough to pay an ordinary stable's expenses. During the past tiyo years, however, 1890 ^ft* ^xM&tx mil j^pnrtsmati. 433 a change has taken place, and we now find that large stakes are being instituted all over the United States. The New York Spirit of the Times, the Chicago Horse- man and the Breeder and Sportsman, have each brought before the public, stakes which will amply re- pay owners for training and conditioning 'rotting horses. The Terre Haute Guaranteed Purse which closed on the 1st of the present month, is another step in the right direction, and although we have not received as yet a full and complete entry list, a telegram received c n Thursday morning from Frank McKeeu notifies us that already 510 entries have been made and that more are expected. This fact alone goes to show that the trotting horse men of this country are willing to subscribe liber- ally towards any large stakes or purses, and it can be readily believed that the day is not far distant when there will be fully as heavy stakes and purses opened for the trotter as there is at present in existence for the thoroughbred. In furtherance of this idea, Mr. C. J. Emery, of Cleveland, is at present hard at work tryiug to get up a guaranteed stake of $50,000, which will probably be given for three-year-olds, foals of 1890, al- though as yet no definite limit has been placed upon ag« or time of meeting. As outlined, the total payments for each horse will not exceed $350 or $400, and the entrance fee will be less than three fourths of one per cent. A large number of breeders have already signified their as- sent to assist Mr. Emery in his great scheme, and al- though the venture is a very bold one, we predict that it will be successfully carried out.

I was driving him on a nice, smooth road when he sud- denly became lame, and by the time I got him home he could scarcely walk. He appears to be a little better now, but is still very lame. I don't know exactly where he is lame, but I applied some of Kendal's Spavio Cure to the fetlock joint, which appears to do him some good. Please give me some advice about it in your next issue. Answer — You are not definite enough in your description of the lameness. PieaBe Eay if you took the shoe ofi', and examine the foot for nails, oorns, or any other injury, or if you noticed any more heat in one part of the leg than another, or if he yieldB more on pressing one part than another, and whether he shows more lameness when walking, trotting, backing or turning, and last, but not least, what leg (fore or hind) is he lame on. Subscriber. Please tell me what is the best treatment for lung fever. I have just lost two fine horses from it, and another is show* iog signs of having it today. Answer — See our issue of Nov. 1st. Subscriber. My horse picked up a nail a few days ago. It did not ap- pear to lame him much jaet then so I worked him as usual. He appears to be getting worse every day, and he is now very lame, and there is great beat in the foot aud swelling round the top of the hoof. I got the shoe taken off to-day and the nail hole pared out and found it full of matter. The horse Bhoer said that he thinks it will break out at the top of the hoof. I have applied blue stone to it and poulticed it. Is there anything more that you could recommend? Answer — Open the hole well to give free access to the puss, but do not bleed the part— if possible avoid doing so. Wash the part well with warm water and poultice it daily until the sever* pain leaves it. When the puss or matter has disappeared put on a leather Bole with oakum and tar, and do not work until all the lame- ness has gone. Veterinary Department. Spinal Meningitis. This disease appeared in most parts of the United States as an epizootic in the Spring of 1872, aud as a sporadic disease for fifteen years after. It occasioned much loss to horse owntrs od its first appearance iu Bo3ton and vicinity, occur- ring, as it did, just previous to the great nre and the horse disease that caused such loss and destruction during the Fall of the Bame year. The animals affected were usually adults, some young, some aged, male and female, driving horses and work horses, all in good condition. Some were attacked on the street while at work. As they loat the power behiod, their hind legs would move awkwardly, sometimes slraddled, at other times crossed, until, being unable to go further, they would drop down, and being usually unable to get up had to be con- veyed to the stable. Others were taken in the stable, usually at night, aud found on the floor iu the morning straggling to get up, on account of their hind legs refusing to perform their functions. I will not attempt to give the cauees that induced such a disease, as that would be mere supposition and guessing; but I wil try aud describe the methods of treatment which I car- ried out. On entering a large Btable attacked, oue or'more of the animals would be found lying on the floor, occasion- ally raising themselves on their fore legs. Treatment: First offer them a little water to drink, as, al- though the pulse may not be more than thirty-eight wheo they are still, they would generally drink and be refreshed. Nest examine the hips and loins, then insert your hand into the rectum and empty its contents, which cannot be expelled on account of the paralysis having extended to it, and the bladder too. When jour hand is in tht recto m feel for the bladder, which will bf full of urine; in a mare it can be eas- ily evacuated by using a piece of half inch rubber tubing ten iuobes or a foot loog. If the patient is a male a loug cathe- ter will be necessary. Unlike blackwater, iu this disease the muscles of the hips aud loins will be soft and normal, instead of large and swol- len, neither will the animal be in such a piofuse sweat; then instead of the water being black or dark as in blackwater in spinal disease, the urine will be found from a slight syrupy consistency up to that of paste: indeed, I have often bad to pot my hand in the rectum and squeeze it to force the con- tents through the catheter. Iu the male I seldom use a catheter, as it toon gets the urethra chafed aud sore, eo I empty the bladder by pressiug it with my hand against the wall of the pelvis. I regard it as beBt to empty the rectum aud bladder before slinging, as I have kuown the bladder to be eo full that it got burst iu slinging. In slinging, see hist that joar roof or rafters are stroug,, and high eroagh that the blocks will cot meet before the animal is lifted high enough, for, unlike black water, iu this disease they cau altnoBt invariably be lifted, and it is very important that they should be. The blocks ought always to be two double oues, tben three or foor men only will be re- quired; if one single block and one double are used it will require mauy more meu. Be sure that the sling is strong aud not too long, aud merely fastened round the breast, and also ioand the quait- ers behind, so that it will not slip back or forward too much. Do uot fasten the sliog to four opposite corners, as this will cause it to chafe, but use a whiffle-tree and then suspend it from the blocks, and allow an easy swinging motion. Be Buie not to lift the animal too high. It is also best lo place him iu a narrow stall a little to one side, and put a timber covered with thick cloth behind, to allow his hind quarters to rest on when he tikes. There are other little ma(ters to be attended to, such a3 a very wide sling might interfere with the male urinating. The breast strap might cause choking. The bladder sometimes gets so full that it runs over aud deceives odo into thiukiug that they are evacuating it all right. As soon as they begin to show a little strength iu their lege, slaoken the sling for an hour or two daily, gradually increasing it; begin also to make them move in the stall. For medicine it is well to give them when down and be- fore slinging a dose of raw liueseed oil and a little ginger, to which I sometimes add one-half piut of gin. Then apply hot blankets to the back, wruDg quite dry iu winter; iu summer a slightly stimulating liniment and hind rubbing. If a blister is used, let it not be very severe. Attend to the feet aud legs, by placing them frequently in ho' water. Give in drinking water flaxseed seed, aud keep bow tls soft. Some cases will pull through aud be fairly useful; others will con- valesce slowly. An occasional permanent defect in the male is his inability to retract his penis, which often requires to be amputated, and the bladder of both male and female are sometimes left iu a diseased and partly paralyzed condition. It is a disease that always reduces the value of the patient to a considerable extent. Milliauson Brtden, V. S., in the Horse Breeder. Thoughts on Breedinar- There is uo subtle alchemy by which the breeder can take so much Hambletonian, Morgan, Clay or Pilot, not to men- tion thoroughbred blood, and by the admixture, or by any known physiological or vitai chemistry, invariably produce a record break* r. PosBibly it is well that this is so, for the very uncertainty adds interests and zeBtto the aitempt, and with intelligent effort there is always the possibility of achievement, aud it is surely mora pleasurable to have the one success among many failures than that degree of medio- cre success than is common to us all. Ethan Allen never achieved the success iu the stud and that marked the career of bis son, Daniel Lambert, and the difference between Lake- land Abdallah and Harrison is still marked. Yet iu both of these cases the blood lines were identically the same lhe role that like produces like or the likeness of some ancestor applies here with a difference. And this proves another law, aud that is that individuality couutB for something. Blood, however, will tell, and in succeeding generations the progeny of Lakeland Abdallah and Ethan Allen may vie with that of Harold and Daniel Lambert, their more popular brothers. Likewise the descendants of Phalli's in the second and third remove may do credit to his splendid breeding aud speed. There is always a possibility that a quality — speed for in- stance— may be latent or dormant iu an individual or in one generation, and yet manifest itself in succeeding ones. Be- cause a Williams can take a non-standard mare, that cannot trot in less than four minutes and breed her to a horse with- out a record (the pedigree was there) and as a result of this union produce the great Axtell. we are not to conolude that breeding is entirely a lottery. The trotting horse is just now being evolved. It is unusual to fiud even five uncontami- nated trotting crosses. The breed is in prooess of forma- tion and is, so to speak, just being established. The Ham- bletonian, Morgan, Clay, Pilot, Blue Bull and other families have been crossed aud intermixed until the trotting confor- mation and instinct are becoming more and mere intensely fixed and a degree of propoteuoy acquired which will repro- duce itself with increasing frequency aud certainty as the breed is developed. For these reasons it would seem a col- onial mistake for breeders to ignore what has been already accomplished, and shutting their eyes to all past experiences, hope to achieve success by blind experiment One chance success will not atone for the million inevitable failures. Eaoh of the trotting families have their own peculiar excel- lencies and defects. There is abundant scope for experiment and improvement without going outside of these families. For instance the long-Btridiug but somewhat slow Hambletonian may be im- proved by a cross upon the quick, trappy, but Bhort-step- ping Morgan. Its cross with the Clays has produced a George Wilkes, an Electioneer and others, and so on ad in/in Hum. It would be an instructive thing, especially to oue like the writer who is new to trottiug horse lore, if some one of your many correspondents who are fully qualified for the task would write up the different trotting families, giv- ing a history of their founders with their family traits, good, bad aud indifferent, armed witb which knowledge the begin- ner might make an intelligent venture. We do uot want oiosees that tend to destroy the trotting gait aud instinct; we want this intensified and increased. The past, with its pri- mal ignorance and many consequent failures, has yet in fifty years reduced the record from three minutes to 2:08$. Let us not igaorantly do our first works over again, but go on to perfection and produce, in fact, the two minute trotter.— Eastern Bhore in Clark's Horwe Review. Answers to Correspondents.

In a half a mile and repeat race were eutired tbree hrrses of which all star'ed. The horse winning the first lifat bolted the track in the second beat, the other two hrrs«s running a close finish. After a lengthy discussion the jurtgps awarded the race to horse winning second heat, making him walk over in the third b/at. The hor.-ie running second in the second heat was refused second money. Is this right? Answer. — Yes. if only two monies were advertised, but if the purse was given in three amounts the ruling is wrong as per last section of rule 84. Quartz.

The latest addition to her family of fast ones is the black mare Irene 2;23, by Alcantara aud out of Jessie Pepper's daughter Iola by Administrator. No matter how well bred, how good looking, or how maoh speed your horse may possess, he is absolutely worthless if he has unsound feet. More horses depreciate in value through neglecting their feet than from any other form o( abuse. In a state of nature no artificial means need be em- ployed to keep the foot of the borae healthy, but 95 ptr ce ni. of those kept in stables will sooDer or later contract thrush, which disease is certain to destroy their usefulness if not oheoked in time. Tbis ailment is a result of picking up the Glth that must accumulate in the horse's stall, aud there is no way to prevent it except by keeplog the bottom or sol, packed with something that will exclude the mat urine from the frog. 434 3£fee %xzz&zx atrd j^orisrrmtu Nov. 8 Grim's Gossip.

Ethel Mack by Auteeo, dam by Milton Medium is another of Electioneers grandaugbters to enter the list, she makiog a record of 2:294 at Independence, Iowa.

Already from all portions of the State horsemen have con- gregated at this point to witness the great frights of speed that is expected to-day at the Bay District track. Let us hope that none of them will be disappointed. We have received number thirteen of the Goodwin's Offi- cial Turf Guide which will be the last of the bi-monthly edi- tions for this year. As usual it contains all the latest racing information, and is a valuable addition to any turfman's library. A correspondent of an English exchange reports the birth of a filly with an udder full of milk, which flawed freely from the teits, while the mother had not a drop. It took careful management for more than a week to remove this preposter- ous condition of affairs. We would call the attention of our readers to the adver- tisement of W. L Appleby, in which he offers two young thoroughbreds for sale. "Billy" also announces that he is agent for the Laurelwood Farm, and that driving horses and Durham cattle can be had cheap. W. H. Wilson, of Cyntbiana, Ky., has at last Rold his famous show horse Jubilee De Jarnette to J. N, Huston, of the United States Treasury Department. The price is not stated, but undoubtedly it took a lot of big American dollars for Mr. Wilson to part with his pet. Mr. L. Swan, of Yreka, has been in town for several dayo, having been attracted toward the Bay City by the races that are announced to take plaee to-day at the track. Mr. Swan has five young Antevolos, three of which are far above the average trotter, and he expects good reports from them next year. The trainers have been rapidly picked up for next seaeon. James Nebro will go with the Jewstt Stock t'arm, A. McDow- ell and Ban B Kennev with Marcus Daly, Dan Brown with George W. St. Clair, Fred Margrove, with Mr. Rockefeller of Cleveland; J. W.

The Horse Breeder says: Advices from the Pacific Coast state that the half-mile track record was broken at Napa, Cat., on the 11th inst. by Homestake, which trotted two heats in 2:141, which beats Nelson's half-mile track record three-fourths of a second. Although nothing has been Btated in the Eastern papers about the matter there is a rumor current that George Starr has left the employ of Budd Doble, and that the horses he is bringing to this State are not part of the Doble string, but a separate lot that George has taken in training. He is ex- pected here at almost any moment. If there be any one who wishes to Bend back horses to the Eist within a few weeks, a chance will be offered shortly, as George Starr will arrive within a few days with a car load of trotters, and will return with the car about the first of the months. Letters addressed to the gentleman care of this office, or care of Mr. Corbitt, San Mateo Stock Farm, will reach Mr. Starr. Mr. Salisbury has been in Chicago most of this week, but is expected back here on Wednesday next. Margaret S has entirely recovered from her lameness, and it is not yet defi- nitely settled but what she will be started once mora this year to bea*< her prasent recorl of 2:12£.

August Belmont heads the list of the winning owners for 1890 his total being $171, 350. of whioh $78,650 was won in the Futurity S'akesby Potimao. LaTosca comes next with $18,190, Her Highness, $16,100 and Prince Royal $11,215. Mr. Belmont i3 the High Priest of the American turf, a man of faultless honor, and those are the nisn whom we like to e;e victorious. Now then gentlemen of the Eastern press, remember that Homestake trotted at Napa the second heat of a race in 2:14£ and the third heatin2:l4J. It took almost two years for the journalists of the East to 6nd oit that Anteeo trotted in 2:16J instead of 2:16*, and the Bamc mU'ake is being made almo.st every day about Homestake. His record is 2:141. On Wednesday last a meeting of the Directors of the P. C. T. H. B.A. was held at the rooms of the association 313 Bush Street, to tinish op the business of the late meeting.

An Oakland gentleman has a gelding for sa'e at a price so extremely low that there should be no trouble in disposing of him especially as he is by Saltan, and the dam was by The Moor.

In addition to the^e Californiau horses, the same firm also have pictures of all the principal horses, both trotters and runners. Damuth will be, if he winters well, one of the formidable candidates for the Suburban and Brooklyn handicaps, He will probably get in with from 113 to 115 pounds, while Tournament of the same age, will get from 123 to 126 pounds. Racine will not get less than 120 aad Riley's impost will be about the same. Hence we would not be astonished if Dem- nth was either first or second.

If the signs are to be relied on Electioneer will again head the list of trotting sires this year, as far as numbers are con- cerned.

This mare is owoed by G. M. Fogg, Esq., of Nashville, one of the most enthusiastic of all the Tennessee breeders, and as at the same msetin? his stallion Benton by Gen. Benton, reduced his record to 2;23|, we heartily congratulate him. It was disappointing to both Marvin and Hickok to return to California without champion records on Palo Alto and Sunol. Bat the talk of their campaigning being a fa-lure is nonsense. Is it a failure to trot a four year old filly a mile in 2:10^, and a stallion the third heat of a race in 2:13? They did not beat the world, but they enhanced the glory of the Electioneer line . And in sweet fall days in California, with the springing grass and the bilmy summer air, we may hear something drop before 1891 knocks at the door of the future. — Horse and Stable. On that particular Saturday afternoon at Napa, when John Goldsmith gained a record for the yearling Freedom of 2:29£, Mr. Corbitt approached his driver, and, after congratulating him on the great achievement, said: "Charge me with S500 for what you have ju*t done, Mr. Goldsmith," and it was a cheap day's work for the owner of the San Mateo Stock Farm. By the way, it is firmly believed at the farm that there is another yearling down there that can beat Freedom; she is by Sable Wilkes out of a mare by Le Grange; 2d dam by Arthurton, and on being bitched to a sulkey for the eleventh time, made a quarter in 38£ seconds. Mayor De Lash mutt of Portland Oregon has lately pur- chased a tine lot of youngsters from F. G. Babcock, Hornells- ville N. Y. Among the number are the yearling filly Nellie Bly, by Georgia Wilkes, dam Snap, 2:2S|, by Strathmore; year- ling filly Crystal Slipper, by Georgia Wilkes, dam Olga Hart- wood, by Eartwood; filly (three years) Tot, by Lumps, 2;21, dam Ada D., by Onward, 2:25£; weanling tilly Mount Hope, by Smuggler, 2:15}, dam Modj^Bka, by Abraham; filly (two years) Silvershell, by Nutshell, dam Delight, by Chesterfield; filly (four years) Minnie Hartwood, by Hartwood, dam Ed- sall's Issue, by Major Edsall.

Mr. Charles Reed has purchased the Australian bred horse Cheviot, brother to Sir Modred. He ib a bay horse, with black points, standing fifteen hands tniae inches high, was foaled in 1S80, and is by Traducer, dam Idalia, He was bred by Dr. Boss, whose brother imported the horse to Cali- fornia a year ago, The horse is now at Sacramento, Cal., from whence he will shortly be shipped to the Fair view Farm, near Gallaiin, Tenn. The above paragraph is taken from an Eastern exchange, but Dr. Ross states that he has had no notification that such a saie has been made. It may be true, however, as John Mackey was authorized to negotiate a sale, and it may be that Mr. Reed has purchased the fall brother to Sir Mo died. T.,H. Tongue wrote a letter to the secietary of the National Trotting association protesting against the deoision in the 2:26 class trotted at City View Park, Portland, Septem- ber 10. Homestake won the race, Clara Z second, and Lady Maxim third, says the Portland Oi'egonian, Kitty Ham was fourth, but Tongne thinks he should have had third money on acoount of Homestake and Lady Maxim be- ing owned by the same man, J. H. Kirkendall, The secre- tary of the natioual association thereupon wrote to the Port- land Speed Association saying that if the purse had not already beeu paid over, to suspend Buch paymeut until the matter oould be investigated. To this letter the reply was made that the association made a practice of paying all pur. see when the race was over, and that the question of owner- ship had been broanhed, but waived before the rncp started The last issue of the Chicago Horseman has a portrait of Mr. Baldwin's great mare Los Angeles, and a beautiful picture it is. The deep obeBt, strong loins und beautifully turned hips, are all given wiih striking fidelity. The broad fiat gas- kins and ponderous stifle recalls the lovely mare, with her wide forehead and intelligent face. We indorse all the Horse- man says of her as a performer, and concur in the belief that Los Angeles is destined to be one of the Belgravian matrons of the American stud. Our only regret is that old Grinstead is not ten years younger, so that he and Lob Angeles could produce a family of winners second to none in America. Los Angeles has started in 92 races, of which she won forty- one times. While we do not deem her the equal of Firenzi at long distances, she is, nevertheless, a great mate. While chaffing over the respective merits of different blood lines in the Breeder and Sportsman's office a few days ago, Mr. Valensin stated that he had a tilly in foal, which if the produce came a horse colt he did not care for it, whereas if a tilly was the result, a small fortune would be necessary to purchase it. On being asked the breeding, the owner of Sid- ney gave it as follows: the filly in foil to Ring Rene 1278 (sire of Fugue 2:194, and eight others in the 2:30 list) she by Dictator, next dam by Harold 413 (sire of Mdud S 2:0Sf and twenty six others in the 2:30 list) next dam by Pilot Jr. 12 (sire of nine in the 2:30 list; also sire of Beven sires with six- teen trotters an i two pacers in the list, and sire of fifteen dam who have thirty two trotters in the charmed circle). On being asked what he would take for the foal if a male, a price was stated, and was at once purchased by a gentleman pres- ent, the price being a long one, but still not too much for such goods. Billy McGuigan, who kept up a career of fraud and crime for years with the trotter Small Hopes, bids fair to become per- manently disgraced as an owner of running horses. He bought the black mare Meckie H. by Red Boy, from the Montana S'able (Hundley & Preuitt) and has since been running her in his usual crooked way. Everything now looks towards a richly deserved expulsion. Since the above was put in type we learn that at 7 o'clock last Saturday night, in the crowded corridor of the Phoenix Hotel, in Lexiugton, Gen. James F. Robinson, President of the Kentucky Association, mide the following announce- ment: "Gentlemen: I am sorry to have to state to you that, after a full and careful investigation, the club has decided to rule off William McGuigan, his foreman Scales, and his rub- ber Bridges." This was greeted with considerable applause. The cause of this ruling off was the way in which Meckie H. ran in her race on the preceeding Thursday, and then won in such grand style on Saturday. The owners of Meckie H., Shannon Bros, of Lexington, took their filly from McGuigan ThurBdav night, and O. O. West ran her to victory on Satur- day. William McGuigan is the only man in America that has been ruled off both the trotting and running turf. Old trotting horsemen will remember how in 1874 and 75 he campaigned the noted trotter Small Hopes in Iowa, Mis60Uii, Kansas and Massachusetts under the names of Lysander, Lapland, Westbrjok, etc, and how he was caught with three other ringers at Mystic Park, Boston, and expelled. At a meeting of the executive of the Victoria Jockey Club, held last week, Bays the Victoria Daily Colonist, the resigna- tion of A. N. Munsie as caretaker of tbe DriviDg Park was received, and H Stone appointed temporarily to the vacancy created. Tne resignation of Mr. E. W. Mathews, necessitated by the confliction of the secretarial work with his business interests, was also dealt with, the finance committee being authorized to make the necessary appointment. A resolution was discussed aud adopted to tbe effect that ©25 must be deposited with the club whenever the track is engaged for a match race, unless 10 per cent of the stakes exceeds the amount named, when that proportion of the money for which the race is run will be required to be placed with the treasurer of the club. This is to guard against the disappointment of the public by the unneossary postponement of advertised matched races. The financial affairs of the recent meeting having been wound up, it is found that the receipts in the bauds of the club, will not only cover indebtedness, but leave a snug bal- ance on the right side of the books. On motion the protest of Mr. Mfson, of Vancouver, laid after the trotting and pacing rice in which his Vancouver Dan was defeated, was the roughly discussed and the aotion of the judges susiained the protest being disallowed. The jockey Frank Baldwin, trainer Johnston and George Renwick have been expelled for life from the Victoria track. It is thought that the spring races of tbe clnb will open on May 1st, and the fall meeting commence about August 1st, opening the Nor.h Western circuit. The Directors of the Stockton Fair are determined to take a new departure, says the Mail. The Beard proposes to have a straight mile course, the first on the Pacific Coast. Negotiations are now pending for a suitable piece of land, properly located, for this purpose. Under such an ariange- ment in every speedy contest the time will be taken by electricity, bith at the start acd finish, thus avoiding any possible question as to time made in the race on trial. With this system any" number of horses may start, and the animal covering tbe mile in the shortest time is tbe winner of money and record. In such races or trials on this course every horse must travel an absolute mile and a mile only, tbe chanceB for fast time are from 3 to 5 seconds better than on a circular course. Time is always lost, aud moreover there is danger of injury to horses, by breaking or "cutting down" on turns on a circular traok. The straight coarse absolutely does away with any excuses of drivers or riders for losing because of being pocketed or forced out of their proper plaoes in the finish of a race. In order to take the time by electricity a very simple but effective device is employed A length of loosely twined thread, which is very easily broken, is stretched across the track at the height of tbe horse's breast. When the horses run across the thread they break it and an electrical device is made by the breaking of the thread to register the time of the start. "When they reach the other end of the course the animal in the lead breaks another thread and thus tbe time of the finish is registered. Both threads have eleotrical con- nection with the same registering apparatus, as trouble might result if there were two, for it would be difficult to make tbe two keep exact time with each other. Under the contemplated system it will be necessary to bave two judges, one at the start and one at the finish Tbe grand stand and other structures will be looated opposite tbe finish. Tbe uew track will be situated near the oity limits, and the Boarr] hopes to have it completed in (irne for the neit fair, 1890 glue gmfte* and £ povtzmzn. 435 Accident to Sup9rior 215. Mr. A. L. JeBsup of Deliver, Col , seuds us the following from the Denver News: "Onv correspondent oaught Major J. J. B. Dabois, as he was coming out of the Grand Hotel dining room. He had slept bnt little, if any, all night, and looked worried and tried. "Yes, Snperior is in a bad fix," said be. "I was with the men and the horses early in the evening, but there was trou- ble in getting the oars to the depot, and after waiting some time, Heft, after especially cautioning the men to exercise the utmost care in loading. Two or three hours later I was sent for and hurriedly rushed down. It seems that the horse got on the wrong side of the train, and in order to let Mm out thev had to move the cars. Instead of uncoupling a few cars, and letting him out, the train men without warn- ing suddenly pulled up the whole train. Superior was just half way in the car. and was dragged for forty feet with his front feet inside the door and his hind feet on the ground, when he fell under just as the oars were stopped. We had to pry up the cars on jacks to get him out. There was no veterinary surgeon about that I knew anything about and sent at once for Dr. Collins. I admire the way the doctor took off his coat and went to work. He felt us I did that Superior was more than a mere horse and he willingly did the work. Of course, the Denver and Rio Grande will pay the damage in ca,h. They acknowledge the fault entirely their own. but they cannot stop the poor stallion e l pair, I consider Superior worth more than any other trottihg horse on earth. He ib snperior in name and breeding. He is toy E»bert, who put seventeen in the '30 list last year His Bret dam is Mary, by Woodford Mambrino. his second Belle by NoTman. his third Vic by Mambrino Chief. . On the track here last Wednesday, he did well, and was going easy, when he lost his hind shoe and scalper, which threw him off his feet The mile was done in 2:17}. It is had to tell what he would have accomplished if he had not lost_ his shoe. Some are confident that he would have made it in 2:14. I have owned him for two years, and have a challenge out to trot any stallion in the world at Overland Park. A short time ago I offered to trot Palo Alto on his own track for S3 000 or more. A match is being gotten up between the Montana trotters Manning and Kneebs, Jessie Gaines, and between the nacers Majo? Wonder and L C. Lee for next week at Park, and I intended again trotting Superior The Breeders' Leading Desire- Overland ^Tch'arTe's Greshwell, a Denver veterinary Burgeon, was sent "for and arrived at noon. He spent the entire afternoon with the horse, which is at the Valley Stable. This evening he gave the following diagnosis of the case to The News correspondent: . "His greatest injuries lie below the hock, on the right leg. They consist of a peeling off of the periosteum, six or seven inches in length, and about one and one-half inches in width exposing a considerable surface of bone.

Different Methods of following the Injunction "Love One Another." Do men ever fall in love with each other? Women do. Not long ago a young woman in New Jersey was married to a youthful laborer on her fathers farm. Sometime Bfterward it was discovered that the hnsband waB a female- the young wife refused, however, though earnestly entrealed by her friends, to give up her chosen consort. The strangest part of the discovery was the fact that the bride knew her husband was a woman berore she was led to the altar. . , , .. , , If men do not exhibit this strange infatuation for one of their own sex, they at least often times give evidence of the lact that they love one another.

The Scullers did not make much of a showing in the vicin- ity of Long Bridge on Sunday last. The majority of the club members were over in Alameda enjoying the hospital- ity of the Alameda Boat Club. The first annual hi ih ]inks and jollification of the Alameda Boating Club was held last Saturday evening and all day Sunday in the boat house in the estuary. The Alameda boys were not very aparse with their invitations and the re- sult was that many representatives from the Ariel, South Eid Dolphin, Pioneer and Haley boating clubs and Oakland Ca- noe Club, and Corinthian Yacht Club were io attendance. C. C. Brock acted as master of ceremonies. Saturday eve- ning was spent in a very pleasant manner. There were singing, recitations, speeches and music. On Sunday the fun was continued, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon there was a race of a mile and a half. Two crews composed of membsrB of the Ariel Club and the Alamedas competed. The crews were made up of Barge "Alameda", C.Dennis, bow; H. Terrell, stroke; J. Nyland, aft; C. Bamber, fd.; Paul Kel- logg (cox). Barge "Kate": W. W. Creugh, bow; C. Pleas, stroke; George Fifer, aft: J. Hartman, fd ; Bert Jeffries (cos). The Alameda won in 13 minutes. The Kate was four sec- onds behiod. The new professional crew which we spoke of last Satur- day took a trial spin from the South End boat house on Sun- day morning. They pull with a clean, Btrong stroke and after a little longer practics they will certainly make it warm for any other crew on the Coast. The Lurline Boating and Athletic Club held a high jinks on Sunday afternoon. Too many invitations were issued and the hall was crowded to excess. There was lots of amusement consisting of eating, drinking, athletics and a literary programme. The Lurline Club is g-iinining its pop- ularity again, and possibly its members may be heard from in some of the coming exhibitions. THE WHEELMEN. Eleven members of the Alameda Bicycle Cmb attended the L. A. W. run on Sunday last. They were N H Foster, Walter Osborne, M Foster, Will Hebbarb. Frank Howlett, H Williams, C Conkey, Jesse F Ives. F White, E Bradford, R A Smythe. We are in receipt of an invitation to attend the first invi- tailon party of the Alameda Bicycle Club, Io be beld io Har- mony Hall, Pam Street, Alameda, on Wednesday evening, Nov 12th. The Oak Leaf Wheelmen of StocktoD, Cal., opened their winter festivities last Saturday evening with one of the ever popular "smokers." The affiair took place at the new club rooms in the Masonic Temple. Several members of the Bay City Wheelmen would have ridden np to Stockton had they received their invitations in time. Through a vevy natural mistake we last week reported one of the men riding in the open bicycle event at the late field day of the O. A. C. as being a member o( the Bay City Wheelmen. Many members of that body would have been glad to have raced at the time but we wish to call attention more particularly to the sad lack of honor in some men, who being expelled member of the B. C. W., yet have not suffi- cient sense of the fitness of things to atop wearing the uni- form of the club which they have disgraced. The Bay City's fortunately have but a few of these "thorns in the rleBh" who persist on all occasions in pissing as members of the club, and it is only regretted that they should have carried their practice to such an extent as to make a notice in the.- columns necessary. 436 %\x& %xtztltx atttt jljwrrismatt.

The English Setter Standard. The English setter is, beyond question ore of the most practical dogs yet known to the sportsman. In the lines of intelligence and beauty, he stands in the front ranks. Owing to the changes which have taken place in the type of this splendid anim.il, and the universal interest taken in this class, we herewith present the standard as adopted by the new English Setter Club: ENGLISH SETTEE STANDARD. Head (20).— The ecuII is of a peculiar character, not so heavy as that of a pointer, and without the furrow and marked prominence ot the occipital bone. It is narrow, or of me ium width between the ears, and the brows Bhoold be nised at a sharp and decided angle from the nose. The n'>se should be long and with width in harmony with skull, without aoy fulness, under the eyes. In the average dog the length should be four to four and one half iacbes from the inner corner of the eyes to the end of the nose. Between the point and root of the nose there should be a slight depression, at all events there should be no fullness, the nostrils must be wide apart and large in the openings, and the end of the nose moist and cool. In all setters the end of the nose Bhould be black or dark liver-colored, except that, in whites or lemon and white, a pink nose may be pardoned. The jaws should be exactly eqoal in length, a "snipe nose" or « pig jaw, " as the receding lower one is called, being seriously faulty. The ears should be hung well back and set low, of moderate lenath and slightly rounded at the point, and without the slightest tendency to prick. The "leather" should be thin and soft, carried closely to the cheeks, so as not to show the in=ide, and should be clothed with silky hair about two inches' in length. The lips are not so full and pendant as those of the pointer, but at their angles there should be a slight lullness, not reaching quite to the extent of hanging. The eyes must be full of animation, and the width between them should be in proportion to the size of the heal and face, so that the eyes should be equally free from a close set, as well as a wide staring expression, a ad they should be Fet with their angles straight across. The best color is a rich brown. Neck (6). The importance of a long, lean neok has not \ ean fully realized until quite recently, or, at all events, there has not been sufficient stress laid upon the point. Length of neck tends to high-headedness, and permttB the dog to feel about for scent over a greater amount of space than he could with a sliort neck. Besides it adds greatly to his style, and to the ease and freedom of action of the shoulders and forelegs. The setter's neck has not the rounded muscularity of the pointer's. Being considerably thinner, it should grad- ually deepen as it approaches the shoulders, joiniDg them in a graceful curve. It must not be throaty, though the skin is loose. Shoulders and Chest (15). — The shoulders should beformed so as to permit of perfect freedom of action to the foreleg moving from the shoulder joint, giving a long, extended stride. The shoulder blades should be deep and wide, and sbping well forward. Tbe upper arm should of good length from point of shoulder to elbows, and the elbows well let down and at sooh an angle as will bring the legs fairly under the dog, A leg formation that is straight from point of i-houlder to foot is objectionable, and more so one with the excessive angle throwing the leg too far back under body of dog. A medium angle from point of shoulder to elbow is the correct form. Mr Liverack was said to be food of a setter with well-sprung ribs baok to the shoulder, a feature all n^ht, provided that they had depth also, Kit he laid so much btresB upon this point in his selection of dogs for stock purposes, that his breed was not ooly round in the barrel, but the width was carried forward between the shoulderB, a very objectionable form, as also is the deep, thin chest, with light spring of the ribs behind the shoulder, known as "slab sided." Public tield trials have demonstrated that there hhoold be as much volume of the chest as it is possible to obtain, distributed in such a manner as not to interfere with the shoulder of the dog, or restrict his pace in any way, that is. the chest between the shoulders should be thin enough to lie flat and move with freedom. Back of the play of shoulders, the riba should spring gradually to the middle, and then gradually lessen to the back rib. The greater the leng h from the shoulder to the last rib, and the greater the depth of the last rib, the better. The diop in chest should be j ist back of the elbows, the chest sloping from this point upward toward the neck, permitting the dog to carry his neck and head up with more ease. Great depth between the shoulders is objectionable, since it puts too much weight on the shoulders and forelegs. The weight should be distributed as evenly as possible between the forward and hind parts: the tendency is too much forward. By bringing the greater volucne of cbest back of the shoulders, tbe fore parts are re- lieved of weight that should be, in part, supported by the hind pirts. A longer dog than the type described in former standards is desirable, but with the additional leogth and weight in the middle, there will follow a tendency to "sway- bick" which is to be met with a slight arch or additional strength in the back. Back and Loins (10) — It has been the custom of some writers to treat of ft dog's loin as bis back, we make the distinction between it and the back as extending trom tbe last rib to the hips. These two parts are to be considered separately, since a dog may be good in one and weak in the other. Tbe loin should be strong and of moderate length. There is such a thing, however, as a dog having too much loin. Every ounce more than be needs iB so much dead weight. la estimating tbe quality of a dog's loin, due regard must be paid to his condittou, as a fat dog with naturally a poor loin, appears exceedingly good in this particular, while a dog with Daturally a good loin, but in poor condition will appear denVent. An arched loin Is desirable, but not to the extent of being "roiehed" or "wheel-backed." The baok Bhould be strong at its juncture with the loiu, a Blight arch not objectionable, and should slope upward with a slight rise, to the point of the shoulders Any'^'swny" or "drop" baifc of the shoulders is a sign of weakness. Quarters and S ifles (8). The quarters Bhould be broad across tha top, the hip bones slightly prominent and wide ep irt with good length from them to point of boneB, at root o: tail; the quarters should be well muscled; thestifles Bhould be well bent— excessive bend, although fashionable for a time, is not desirable. A slight bow at stifles is a point of merit, as the feet in such ciBes stand squarely under the dog and are moved forward in a straight line, the slight bow j serving as well to keep the stifles and legs easily away from the body when the quarters are brought forward. Legs, Elbows, Hocks (S) and Feet (7) (15).— The elbows I and toes should have tha same direction, and should point straight from front to rear, and if not straight the "pigton- lob" or in-turned leg is less objectionable than the out turn, in which the elbow is confined by its close attachment to the ribs. The upper arm Bhould be flat, muscular, strong and bone folly developed, the muscle should feel hard and should be devoid of flabbiness. The forelegs should be flat and taper gradually from elbow to pastern joint; it should feel hard and flinty, with no looseness of skin. The pasterns should be Bhort and strong and nearly round. The slope from pas- tern joint to foot should deviate but slightly from the per- pendicular. The hind legs should be muscular, with wide thighs and wide, flat hocks and plenty of bone. The lower thigh should have fair development of muscle. The feet de- serve careful attention, as upon their capability of standing wear and tear depends the utility of the dog. Two types are recognized, the round cat foot and tbe long bare foot. Eith- er type is good, but the cat foot is preferred. The feet should be close and strong and well padded, with toes well arched and clothed with hair, but it should be short and thick. Stern (5). — The stern or tail should be carried straight, or with slight curve upward, either slightly above the middle of the back, or down. There should be no curl, it should taper to a fine end, and reach tbe hocks. The feather must be composed of straight, silkey hairs, falling loosely as a fringe when the tail is raised and tapering to the point of tbe tail. There must be no "bushineBs" whatever. Coat and feather (5). — The ooat should be flat, with an ab- sence of wave or curl- By this is meant a tail coat such as characterizes the true English setter. The feather should be moderate, and that on the back of the legs should be thin and regular. Color and markings (4). — Too much stress must not be put upon color, for tbe color in this breed is largely a matter ot fancy. Some prefer black and white, or black, white or tan; others, lemon and white, and others again liver and white. Being bo largely a matter of fancy, it shouid be dealt with gently. The colors now recognized are as follows: Blue belton, black, white and tan, black and white, lemon or orange and white, lemon or orange belton, liver and white, liver belton. Symmetry. — After examining a dog critically in all hia points there yet remains to be estimated the harmony of the whole. The dog may have a good bead, shoulders and quar- ters when looked at simply as single points, but when they are looked at collectively, as a part of one dog, they may be sadly out of harmony with each other. The head may be a good head seen simply as a head, but it may be too large or too small for the dog. The foreparts may be good in them- selves, but too heavy or too light for the hindparts or the rest of the dog. It is harmony of all the points which constitutes the symmetry and quality, and these points, in their proper relation to each other, go a long way toward what constitutes the beauty and servicable qualities of the dog.

San Francisco. Editor Breedeb and Sportsman:— I am sure that I speak for a large number of sportsmen aside from myself when I ask for information regarding the standards as outlined by the several clubs of the country representing the high ouurts, as it were, for the various breeds of dogs, of which these or- ganizations are the accredited heads. Take as a sample the standard just promulgated by the English Setter Club. It illustrates my objections to stand- ards generally in an admirable manner. This standard, lam ioformedf was chosen because it most nearly represents the consensus of opinion of the leading English Setter men of the country. We are told that great care has been exercised in its formation, yet to me it repre- sents but little of value to any one who honestly depends upon it for information. It is too elastic, too general to be of any practical value as a standard by which to gauge or meas- ure the perfections or imperfections of a dog. Its terms. where it seems to me, they should be specific, are provok- iuglj general. Id fact so general, that I am at a loss to see how it can be of any particular use or value for the purposes which standards are supposed to serve. To my mind, any standard falls Bhort of its purpose which will net permit a reasonably intelligent person to take it, and by applying its suggestions to any one of the class of dogs which it purports to measure, arrive at a fair judgment of the dog's merits and demerits. Can this be done from the English Setter standard as promulgated by Seoretary Ohl, for the consideration of the membership of the club? I, for one, do not believe it can, for the reason thit much that is given iB so indefinite as to be of little value, and again the esceptioDB to the supposed rule, are almost, if not quite as numerous and weighty as the rule itself. In describing the head largely taken from "Stonehenge," the only approaoh to a rule is that "in the average dog the length (of nose) should be four to four and one-half inchep from the inner corner of the eyes to the end of the nose."" Now if the nose of an average dog be permitted to vary one- half inch in length from the inner corner of the eye, bow much variation shall be considered admissible in n larger or smaller dog; especially is the question problematical when we are given neither the weight or measurement for the average dog. Great stress is laid npon the neck. We are informed that it should be long and lean, and are told that "length of neok tends to high-headedupss, and permits the dog to feel about for scent over a greater amount of space than be oould with a short neck " The latter portion of t bis sentence, relative to the use of neck, seems (o me to be the climax of absurdity. In my ignorance, I had never supposed that the length of a dog's neok controlled the keenness of bis Boent. So through tbe whole standard. The writer evidently intended his description to be general — very much »o> and doubtless the thought that it should serve for more thai: a general purpose, never entered his mind. Now in all candor we ask, Cannot a more specific standard be formu- lated? Must we Btill be left entirely to the special idea of a i jodge to determine ag to the merits of the dogs on the bench? Is there not some scale of weights and measures which may be given out as a standard for the breed ? Must it all be left to symmetry? Is not some standard of form better than others ? If so, what is the bf st by measurement? Horsemen have ideal Btandards, taken perhaps, from some choice animals. A good horseman never boys an ani- mal without first placing the tape line on them, not as to one point alone, but several. Cannot a similar scale be adopted for a given breed of dogs? If not, why not? Inquirer. The question is an old one and probably presents a sub- ject over which there has been much discussion and the end seems afar off. It would app9ar to the critical observer thit nature seldom makes a perfect animal, and it has been found that the oon- sensus of opinion of large bodies of men, made up, as it of necessity must be, of rules and expressions representing con- cessions from each individual, represents only partially the ideal of any one member. Each man has hia own opinion. His convictions of what is best are usually lirm, and if tinc- tured with prejudice, as we all more or less are, they may be said to bend, under protest, but immediately fly back to the former position, being at best eubjict to change by the slow prooes3 of edocition by experience only. The standard of dogs of every breed are changing con- stantly. "What was considered the typical dog a few years ago in the English Setter breed, as well as that of other breeds, baB changed — advanced. The judging of a dog is not unlike the judging of a picture, in that the effect of the picture or animal as a whole, is considered. Types of beauty vary, even in different sections of our own country, at the same period. To note how much the style has changed lioce a few decades of the past, one has but to look upon the ideals of those times. By looking into tbe eld sporting journals, and noting the sketches presented of ideal dogs of those times, they are found so different to the types of to day of the same class, as to appear to bear but little relation to them. Nature makes the dog, and by systematic breeding is continually making changes for the better. If it were possi- ble to formulate strict measurements, they would be found to be of but little service, as they would last but for a short period. Coursing- at Great Bend. The fifth annual meeting of the American Coursiog Club came off at Qreat Bend, Kansas, on the 22d, 23rd aud 24th of last month. The meeting was eminently satisfactory ia every way. Mr. Joseph Holloway of Denver, discharged the duties of judge to the general satisfaction of all c interned. The dogs entered, presented perhaps, as fine quality as tbe greyhounds of the day possess, and the fact that numerjua rabbits made a successful dash for liberty proves that the swiftest rabbits, on their native grounds, with 50 or 60 yards start, can escape from the best gres hounds. They are ad- mittedly much swifter than the English hare. Score one for the American Jack, he Btands a winner over them all. The management is spoken of as being of tbe very first order, the promptness and efficiency with which the pro- gramme was carried out, securing much of the pleasure of the occasion. There wa3 found to be a balance in the treasury after pay- ing all bills. SUMMARY. Great Bend, Kansas, Oct. 21st, — Tbe summary of the racing Id tbe American Field Cup Stake race as follows: I.

M. Bennett, Westfield, U. J. and Whip from Mr. Harry Malcolms, Baltimore Md., Kennel. ThiB anion should produce some remarkably fine Gordons. A Sagacious Collie. On Saturday forenoon, while a gentleman was being driv- en in his private carriage past the Cross, Paisley, a little girl ran in front of tbe horse and would inevitably have bren se- riously injured but for the sagacity of a large oollie dog which was running behind the carriage and saw the danger. The animal seized the child's dress and actually swung the little one round about in his efforts to extricate her from her perilous position. She was knocked down, but was not much hurt. — Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. J. C. Maynard of San Mateo, has recently purchased three superior Irish setterB, but our informant was unable to give us their pedigree. The greyhounds seem to run fast enough to capture, noj only the rabbits but also that more elusive and captions game — public opinion. Mr. Frank Dole of New Haven, Conn., recently purchased the Bulldog Harper from Mr. Lawyer of England. Mr. Dole stands in the front rank as a breeder of this class of dogs. Mr. G. Valensio.the well known horBe faooier and breeder, informs us that he purohased, on his recent Eastern visit, "the finest foxterrier in the country." The dog has not arrived yet, but when he ooines Mr. Valensin promises to show us a pedigree which will certify to the royal family of his dog. The preliminaries for the coarsing event at Meiced are progressing finely, and there is no longer a doubt but that the sport on that occasion will be of a high order. A num- ber of dogs are looked for from outside the State, and they should be given a warm and cordial greeting. It is but right and proper that more than ordinary courtesy should be ex- tended to all those who may come from a great distance to participate in this meet. A journey from the east of the Rockies to the coast, even in these latter days is not one unaloyed round of pleasnre, and our guests should be made to feel that we appreciate their coming. The party from this city will leave for Merced, on the 17th, and one of the prin- cipal events will open up the meeting on the following day. It is expected that a large number will go from here to par- ticipate in the sport. The California Kennel Club will hold its regular monthly meeting at No. 436 Montgomery St. next Wednesday evening. The club intends holding a bench show next spring, possibly in April, and is already in communication with several well known Eastern judges The clab is endeavoring to biive the Southern California Kennel Club hold their bench show either one week before its show, or one week after and also to have the Bame judge officiate at both shows. If these arrangements can be made, it will be of great advantage to the owners of dogs. While on this subject, I would suggest that a bench show circuit be established in this State, and for that purpose the owners of dog6 in the principle cities should get together and organize. Whippet raoing is becoming more of a feature in doggy exhibitions. These events at the Canadian Show, created a great amount of interest, 100 yards being run in 6J sec , and 200 in 12| see. Two mastiff pups are advertised in our kennel column by Mr. J. B. Martin, of 1323 Page street, this city. They are good specimens of the breed, and persons desiring one of the large breeds of dogs should certainly Bee these pups. The last few days of oloudy weather has rendered the work for the dogs much better than it has been for some weeks past. The birds lay better and the dogs work better. Such weather does much to render pleasant, the field work all round. The twenty second annual great national poultry, pigeon and rabbit show, will be held at the Crystal Palace on the l7, 18, 19 and 20. The catalogue, containing mention of en- tries, rules, prizes, etc , makes quite a book containing near- ly 50 pages. They have shows over there, as Uncle Rube, would say: "Well I vum! Them Britishers do go a heap on gsoh things. Don't they?" Anent the heated controversy which is being waged by Borne of our dog fanciers and breeders in the columns of some of our leading sportiug journals, we would ask them to pause and consider this question: Which has the more irascible temper, the dog or his master? We will lay odds on the latter and appeal to the records. The attention of owners of fox-terrier bitches is called to the advertisement of Blemton Shiner in the stud: this do£ was imported by Mr. J. B. Martin, 1323 Page Btreet, this oity, last summer from the well known kennels of Mr. AugUBt Belmont. Shiner is exceedingly well bred, and combines the blood of th6 best winning dogs of the day; he is a very handsome dog. and is thoroughly game, and goes to ground perfectly. In the judging of the St. Bernard class at Oldham, a Mrs. Sorby thought the Judge was going to give her dog third prize. Taking umbrage at this supposed slight or niisjudg- ment of her dog she fl mnced out of the ring, taking her dog with her. She was much mortified to learn subsequently that it was the Judge's intention to give her pet the first prize. This is not the first time that a hasty temper has spoiled a good thing. Mr. Washington sees Mr. Covert in a recent letter and goes him one better. In other words he calls his hand, or more accurately his dog. Now we shall see what the outcome of all this blood red Irish setter war is any way. But will tbe method proposed be satisfactory? Neither of the gentlemen's dogs will gain anything in the opinion of the sporting frater- nity by Buoh a test. The only way to reaoh a settlement, it would seem, that would be fair and equitable, would be to judge by the A. K. C. records. These cannot be maae in a day. They most be properly won UDder the rules of the club. Of one thing we may be assured and that is that the Irish setter is being brought before the public for all he is worth. Let her hum, gentlemen, bo long as tbe dogs are not Injured, no serious harm can result. THE GUN. Deer Hunting Near Salinas. Salinas, Cal, Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — The game abounds within a radius of twenty five miles of this point, in great quantities. All of the game birds, now in season, are es- pecially plentiful. The quail are to be found in every direc- tion. All of the fields and highways are alive with Them They appear as yet to have been but little hunted. Last week it was my good fortune to have an outing of some three days. The weather, it is true, during the middle of the day was rather warm for effective work, but we found by taking advantage of the early morning hours, resting duriDg the heat of the day, and renewing our Bport from about 3 o'clock p. m. until nightfall, that we could get all the sport that any reasonable man could ask for, and that too in a most com- fortable and pleasant way. Our dogs worked splendidly, and we succeeded in making some tine scores at qnail. The mallard docks also furnished us with some good shooting, upwards of two dozen falling to our gunB. Perhaps the most pleasurable hunting was for deer, whioh abound in the mountains, but a scant score of miles from here. On Friday morning we found ourselves ready for a still hunt, and cautiously strode away from camp into the mount- ains. It was about sunrise when I first found myself away from my companions and alone with my Winchester, anxiously awaiting any sign which might indicate the presence of this royal game. I had proceeded from camp scarcely a mile when looking up a gulch to my right, where it debauched, forming a little pocket-like valley, I caught sight of a beautiful little drove of fine deer. They were some considerable distance from me, and were quietly browsing about on the foliage and tufts of grass which dotted the Bcantily clothed opening. It required some moments thought and investigation to ascertain the direction of the moving air, for there was scaroely a well de- fined current. Presently I was happily assured that the wind was in my favor from my present position, and I cautiously began to approach the deer, under shelter of the rocks and shrubs which lay between me and the drove. The time taken up in my efforts to secure an advantageous shot could not have ex- ceeded a few minutes at most, but it really seemed hours. After climbing the rugged side of the gulch and pausing to rest a moment and note what effect, if any, my movements had had on the game, I waB gratified to see them still quiet and leisurely stepping about, all unconsious of my pres- ence. Another survey was now taken. Can I reach yonder point where the rooky ledge projects for some distance into the valley? was the question whioh ran through my mind. I finally decide that I cannot. The risk of scaring the game would be too great. Should they once become startled from any cause, they would be off like the wind. I determined that the more prudent plan would be to lie still in my present position, and if the game should show signs of uneasiness to then risk a shot, long as the distance was, rather than take the chances of scaring them by attempt- ing to approach more near them. Thus I lay calculating for some moments, my eyes fastened on the graceful creatures. It was a pretty Bight. The drove was composed of a full grown buck, that carried a beautiful pair of horns, well pronged; a doe aod fawn and two yearl- ings, buck and doe. The distance from my position, behind some stunted shrubs, was folly 300 yards, and I had carefully drawn a head on tbe old buck time and again, the while wonderiDg if I should press tbe trigger whether he would fall or I should be doomed to see the whole drove dart away into tbe brush on either hand. I must have lain for ten minotes thus con- templating tbem, when the old buck threw up his head aud snuffed the air, looking in the opposite direotion. Tbe whole drove moved back of him and toward me, the bead of each raised expectantly iD the air. They will come my way, and with the thought I assumed a position to be ready for a run- ning shot, thinking that they would most likely pass down the gulch to my right. A moment more, and the buck advances a few paces and s'amps his feet as if in challenge to some hidden foe in the thicket beyond. He made a beautiful picture with head half turned, bo as to present a quartering view, the very ideal rep- resentation of alertness and latent power. The next inatant he turns, and at a swinging trot leads the drove down the ravine toward my right. I quickly adjust my aim and await their approaoh. They come on within easy range, and as I am about to pull trigger they change their course to the left and present their broad sides at a lesser distance, perhaps not over sixty yards, when I fire and see the old buck throw up his head and bound into the air. I know that I have hit him hard, bat I pull again upon him as be strikes the ground, when I have the satisfaction of seeing him roll over with scarcely a Btruggle. The others by a bound have reached tbe brush and disappeared, and all is as still again as when the drove stood but a moment before in the valley below. I descend to my prize, and find that both balls have passed clean through the deer and that he is quite dead, one shot having passed through near the heart, while the other is a trifle too low to do immediate execution. It was a beautiful specimen, weighing when dressed about 200 pounds. This concluded my morning hunt and marked my first as well as last success at deer hunting on my trip, but it was enough to satisfy the most ravenous hunter's desire. The picture of that morning; the deer in the valley and that successful shot, will serve as a bright and satisfying picture for many a day to come. My companions were equally as successful as I during the trip, and we all have cause to re- member our hunt with feelings of peculiar satisfaction. Winchester, A Michigan Woodcock Hunt. Kalamazoo, Mich. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:— The American Wood- cock is found in the eastern part of North America, north to British possessions, west to Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, etc. As will be seen by this habitat, the long bill whistler is prac- tically confined to territory in the Mississippi Valley east- ward. Sportsmen residing in the west cannot have the pleasure of gunning for this game bird. Thinking that your readers woald be interested in a sketch of a day's sport in Michigan, this article is contributed. On a bright morning in early October three of us started at the early hour of five a. m. for a well known ground sev- eral miles distant, and at the hour of six we had provided for our team at a neighboring farm, and stood ready with dogs and guns for the work and pleasure of the day. Henry started in above, accompanied by. his white setter Jim, leav- ing Percy and the writer to hunt with the Gordon, Don, over which we had so frequently shot in the pjst, For a time we had no success, and twice heard Henry shooc ere a sign of game appeared to us, but at a time when we were beginning to consider the advisability of changing our cover, Don snd- denly began to road with head well up. There waB a st.ff wind blowing, and of course the 6cent was borne from a dis- tance, but after three or four rods of careful and slow pro- gress, a staunch point was made at the edge of a small stream. Percy motioned me to move forward, which I did, and had the pleasure of the first shot that, contrary to the rule, was successful. Less than ten rods beyond another bird arose and my companion scored to our credit; at the report a hustler got np wild and a goose egg was oredited to my slate. At a place where a clearing had been made in the open bass-wood and elm woods, a heavy growth of rank weeds had occumd, forming a first class protection for quail, but one would never dream of finding a woodcock in such a situa- tion; however, at the very edge of the patch the Gordon be- came rigid, and we looked at one another painfully aware that there was nothing there for us, as we only thought of bob-white in the cover and the law prevented our bagging them. Nevertheless, we moved forward to patronize the dog's faithfulness, thinking to merely aim at the sbort-bil!s as the flock arose; bat instead of the bevy of quails two cocks whistled up almost simultaneously, of which one fell to my gun, bnt Percy failed to score as he shot too soon His bird dropped apparently unhurt on the farther Bide of a small alder and not more than four rods from its first posi- tion. So suddenly did the birds settle that no opportunity was given to use the second barrel. Don unaware of the proximity of the bird was unable to scent it, as the wind was a regular gale and he waB not directly in the track, and we flushed it walking abreast when my companion brought it down. The wind was now too severe for hunting, and after a half hour's useless attempt at flushing we returned to the team where we found Henry. We ate an early dinner and amused ourselves with the primitive game of horse-shoe quoits, during which we learned that a joung farm band could give us connts and distanoe and Btill beat us badly. By noon the wind greatly moderated and we once more took up the more entertainiog occupation of shooting. We visited a swBle in a distant woods which was surrounded by a dense protecting wall of thick unreibrush and small trees. The barrier was next to iiupei ■■ trtible and it was difficult for man or beast to work hisv.a> tar^ugh. More as a bother to tbe others, I insisted on going through it to the free ground beyond and was blackguarded for my contrariness, but no sooner was the act accomplished and the whistle of wings heard than the others floundered tbrough in a hurry and we had no reason to regret our exertions. Tbe birds lav re- markably well only one flushing improperly and that one when I was entering. Once inside, the freedom from tbe wind was noticeable. The dogs were on their best behavior and gave a grand ex- hibit of their training and breeding. We took nine birds within thirty minutes and with very little effort and io fourteen shots, while one other bird, apparently severely wounded and seen to fall, was bunted for by all handH and the dogs in vain. It is one of tbe most surprising tbincs in my experience as a gunner, how a siogle bird can fall, appar- ently in plain Bight end undoubtedly struggle to getaway and yet elude the vigileuce of hunters and dogs, but this ex- perience is invariable with bll wbo bant to any extent. We next left ihe woodcock park, as we called it, on the opposite side where the efcape was comparatively easy, and took our course along the banks of a small creek covered on either side with a dense growth of willow, elder and alder, interspersed with an occasional larger one; here we were fairly successful, but tbe severe work of makiDg their way through the heavy borders of the banks quickly told on tbe does. Jim soon absolutely refused to go into the cover and whs tirtd out io even following his master; he was an old and bad not been used to any extent during M 438 %h* gfreeffieK and
